Error handling

HPE Service Manager Integration Suite (SMIS) can automatically create a new Incident record for the error if all of the following conditions are met:

  • The error handling feature is active in a Case Exchange integration instance.
  • A Case Exchange task of this integration encounters an error.
  • SMIS has performed the number of retries that is pre-defined, but still encounters error.

SMIS automatically set the following fields in the record according to the configuration in the integration instance:

  • Title
  • Assignment Group
  • Impact
  • Urgency
  • Category
  • Area
  • Subarea
  • Affected Service

The error handling feature works in the following manner:

  • Case Exchange only creates one Incident record for each integration instance that has failed tasks.
  • When the task fails for the first time, SMIS creates a new Incident record.
  • When the task that has failed fails again, SMIS works in the following manner:

    • If the record for the previous failure is closed, SMIS creates a new Incident record.
    • If the record for the previous failure is not closed, SMIS does not create a new Incident record.
