Correct Answer:
A. Create a service-centric Configuration Management Database (CMDB); E. Establish links between IT infrastructure components and application services
Explanation

The primary capabilities of Service Mapping are to discover and map the relationships between IT components and the application services they support. This process establishes clear links from business services down to the underlying infrastructure (servers, databases, etc.). By creating these detailed, dynamic maps, Service Mapping transforms a traditional, asset-focused CMDB into a service-centric one. This service-aware view is crucial for impact analysis, change management, and understanding the business context of IT infrastructure, thereby providing a holistic view of how technology delivers business value.

Why Incorrect

B. Enhancing cybersecurity is a primary function of ServiceNow's Security Operations (SecOps) suite, which may leverage service maps for context, but it's not Service Mapping's core capability.
C. Automating infrastructure updates is a capability of ITOM Orchestration or other configuration management tools, not Service Mapping.
D. Overseeing software licensing is the primary function of the Software Asset Management (SAM) application.
