Configure time period conflict notifications for Change Management

When a change with the Conflict with Freeze Window conflict type is approved, a notification is sent to the owner of the conflicted time period (type=”Freeze Period”) to inform him or her that there is a change scheduled in the freeze period.

The steps to configure time period conflict notifications may vary, depending on the type of change category for which you want to configure.

For legacy change categories such as Hardware and Networks, follow these steps to configure time period conflict notifications:

  1. Type db in the Service Manager command line, and then press Enter.
  2. Type Object, and then press Enter to open the Search Object Records form.

  3. Type cm3r in the File name field, and then click Search to open the object record.

  4. On the Approvals tab, click Find Related Information in the Approval process field to open the change.approved Process Definition form.

  5. On the Final Javascript tab, find the JS function that is called by Final Javascript.

  6. Update this JS function.
  7. Click Save.

Note Alternatively, you can directly update lib.timeperiodConflict.processTpConflictNotification to configure time period conflict notifications.

For new change categories such as Standard, Normal, and Emergency, follow these steps to configure time period conflict notifications:

  1. Click Change Management > Configuration > Change Workflows.
  2. Select a workflow. For example, Hardware.
  3. Select a transition which leads to the approval process, and then add the chm.notificiton.freeze.timeperiod rule set to the transition.
  4. Click Save.

Note If you do not select Send an Email notification to the time period owner when the conflicting change is approved, the system will not send email notification to the time period owner of the conflicted time period (type=”Freeze Period”). See Configure time period global settings for more information.
