Add OO flow links to a new change record

User roles: Change Manager, Change Coordinator, and Release Manager

To add OO flow links to a new change record:

  1. Log on to the Service Manager Web client.
  2. Click Change Management > Changes > Create New Change.
  3. Select a change category other than either of the following:

    • Subscription
    • Unplanned Change

    Note Do not select any of these categories, because the OO Flow Links feature is not available for a change record with these change categories.

  4. Complete the form with all required and optional information.
  5. Go to the OO Flow Links section, select a path in the Select Path field, and click Add Link. The OO Flow Link Detail form is displayed.
  6. In the Sequence No field, type a number. This number defines the order in which the OO flow is automatically launched. Each OO flow link must have a unique Sequence No.
  7. In the Target CIs field, enter the target Configuration Items that will be used when the OO flow is launched.

    Note If you are planning to launch the flow manually, you can skip this step.

  8. In the Parameters section, complete the fields listed in the following table as necessary.

    Field Value Description
    Parameter Name

    Name of an input for the operation(s) of the OO flow; can be entered by the user running the flow, or set to a specific value, or obtained from information gathered by another step of the OO flow

    An OO field
    Required? true or false

    An OO field that indicates whether the parameter is required or not

    Mapped Change Field Select one from the drop-down list.

    A custom field

    This is a field from the change record used to launch the OO flow. The Change field value is populated when the OO flow is launched. The Change fields listed are defined in the "OO RFC Fields" global list.

    Mapped CI Field Select one from the drop-down list.

    A custom field

    Useful CI field to launch the OO flow. If there is no Mapped Change Field configured for the parameter, or there is no Mapped Change Field value, the CI field value will be populated when launching the OO flow. The CI fields listed are defined in "OO Fields" global list.

    Default Value Default value of the parameter

    A custom field

    If neither Mapped Change Field nor Mapped CI Field is configured for the parameter, or if no value is available in Mapped Change Field or Mapped CI Field, the default value is used when the OO flow is launched.

    NOTE: This field is not the same field in OO.

  9. Click Add. The OO flow link is added. 
  10. Click OK. You are returned to the Change form.

    Note If you do not click OK to save and exit, your updates to the Mapped CI Field and Default Value fields might be lost.

  11. Repeat the steps above to add more links as necessary.
  12. Click Save to save the change record.
