# Process Manager for Analyzing Discovery Data

Turn discovered configuration items into dependency-aware views with Process Manager. Process jobs connect applications, infrastructure, cloud resources, software, and virtualized environments in Configuration Management Database (CMDB).

### Required Editions

Discovery brings asset data into CMDB. Process jobs analyze that data and create the relationships that show how applications, devices, cloud resources, software, and services work together. Use the resulting relationships to understand dependencies and evaluate the impact of infrastructure changes.

For details about the relationships that each process job creates, see [Process Jobs and Relationships in CMDB](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.it_srvcs_discovery_process_jobs.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Build accurate dependency views from discovery data. Each process job maps relationships for a specific infrastructure area in Configuration Management Database (CMDB).").
