How to Customize the Changes and Incidents Component

The following section describes how to customize which CIs have related requests for change and incidents displayed in the Changes and Incidents component, and in the Hierarchy component drill-down. For an overview, see Changes and Incidents Component.

By default, incidents and requests for change are displayed for the following CI types: Business Service, Siebel Application, Business Application, Node. If you want to view change and incident information for other CITs, perform the following procedure:

  1. Within Administration > RTSM Administration > Modeling Studio, copy one of the TQLs within the Console folder, and save your copy with a new name. These default TQLs perform the following:

    TQL name Description
    CollectTicketsWithImpacts

    Retrieves Service Manager incidents for the selected CI, and for its child CIs which have an Impact relationship.

    CollectTicketsWithoutImpacts Retrieves Service Manager incidents for the selected CI.
    CollectRequestForChangeWithImpacts

    Retrieves Service Manager requests for change, for the selected CI, and for its child CIs which have an Impact relationship.

    CollectRequestForChangeWithoutImpacts Retrieves Service Manager requests for change, for the selected CI.
  2. Edit the new TQL as needed. You can add CITs as described in Naming constraints for new TQLs below.

  3. Open Infrastructure Settings:

    Administration > Setup and Maintenance > Infrastructure Settings

    Alternatively, click Infrastructure Settings.

    1. Select Applications.

    2. Select Service Health Application.

    3. In the Service Health Application - Hierarchy (360) area, enter the name of the new TQL you have create in the corresponding infrastructure setting.

    Note that by default these infrastructure settings contain the default TQL names. If you enter a TQL name that does not exist, the default value will be used instead.

After you modify the infrastructure setting, the new TQL will be used, and the Changes and Incidents component will show this information for the CITs you have defined.
