After the Change Coordinator verifies that a change meets the test criteria and is authorized to be implemented in the production environment, you can implement the change and perform a production test as scheduled.

Note It is important to document all infrastructure changes and test results.

To implement a change and perform a production test, follow these steps:

  1. Click Change Management > Tasks > Task Queue.
  2. Click Change Task in the Queue list, and then click Open Change Tasks Assigned to My Group in the View list.
  3. Find the change implementation tasks for implementing the change and performing a production test. Use search or advanced search to find one or more records.
  4. Double-click to open the records.
  5. Perform the activities required to complete the change implementation tasks for implementing the change and performing a production test.
  6. Update the change task record with the following information:

    • Assignee
    • Affected CI
    • Actual Start
    • Actual End
  7. Document the infrastructure changes or test results. You can use the Work Notes section to document this information or attach the information as a separate file in the Attachments section.
  8. After the change implementation tasks for implementing the change and performing a production test are complete, close the tasks:

    1. Click Close Task.
    2. Select the closure code and type a closure comment.
    3. Click Save & Exit. HPE Service Manager sets the task state to Closed.
