In the above context, the directly discoverable targets are the following:
PS Application Server
PS Process Scheduler
PS PIA

The remaining two target types, i.e. PS Application Database and PS Process Monitor will still need to be discovered using either the existing guided discovery flow, or the EMCLI verb discovery approach.
