External information string fields

The first two external information string (EIS) fields determine the unique identifier of the change or task both in HPE Service Manager and in an external system (if applicable).

The first field contains the unique number that corresponds to the number field in the cm3r or cm3t database dictionary. This field is blank if the action is open.

The second field of the EIS corresponds to the foreign.id field of the change or task. This field specifies the unique identifier of the change or task in the external system that is sending the request. If the HPE Service Manager number is not specified, the system attempts to find the correct record by comparing the foreign.id to this field.
