Test and troubleshoot the integration

Once you have finished the above configurations in the HPE Service Manager system, you can test the Case Exchange integration. The following procedure is an example that you can follow to test the basic functions of the integration:

  1. In Service Anywhere, create a new Incident record.

  2. Wait for a while (depending on the value that is configured in the Interval Time field) and the Incident record should be exchanged to the Service Manager system.

  3. In Service Manager, update the Incident record so that the update can trigger the outbound rule that is configured in Create and invoke Rule Sets.
  4. The update to the Incident record should be exchanged to Service Anywhere.

If all the above steps are successful, the integration between the two systems is properly configured.

If any of the above steps is unsuccessful, the following checklist can help you to troubleshoot possible problems.

    • Is the information in the General tab correct?
