Hi Doug,

We met in Singapore regarding some questions for our client Deutsche Bank.
You remember that I asked you how can I create a rule based on the horizontal dependency like:
My service status depends on the status of x, y and z service status combined.
All the services are at the same level in the service hierarchy, means if there is 3 tier hierarchy then all the services are at level 2 (that’s what i mean by horizontal)

Can you please provide me with some material to read regarding the above mentioned query.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Gautam
