Time duration data processing

HPE Service Manager records the system data provided by the SLM module license and configuration. Service Manager extracts the system data against status, phase and assignment group changes, and then calculates the duration values according to your metrics. You can then configure calculation or time duration reports to display the time duration data based on the calculation results.

Note If you modify calculation metrics for duration reports , the modified configurations only take effect on newly created tickets.

The time duration data can be processed for further analysis. Currently, Service Manager supports the following tables and fields.

The raw time stamp of the field status changes can be extracted from the following tables. To configure the time duration settings, see Configure time duration settings.
