Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Process a successful change implementation
Part of Workflow(s):Coordinate change implementation (ST 2.5)
Applies to User roles:Change Coordinator
After you verify that a change is successfully implemented in the production environment, you can trigger the configuration management process to update the Configuration Management System (CMS) data model for the affected configuration item (CI).
To process a successful change implementation, follow these steps:
- Click Change Management > Task Queue.
- Select Change Task from the Queue list and Open Change Tasks Assigned to My Group from the View list.
- Find the change implementation tasks for implementing the change and performing a production test. Use search or advanced search to find one or more records.
- Double-click the records to open them.
-
Verify that the change tasks were completed successfully.
- If the change implementation was successful, go on to the next step.
- If the change implementation caused a severe disruption in the production environment, activate the remediation plan by creating change implementation tasks to execute a fall back scenario. Assign the tasks to the responsible Change Analyst.
- Update the Change form description with the implementation remarks.
-
Create a change implementation task requesting an update to the CMS data model, and assign it to the responsible Configuration Manager.
When all tasks are complete and the CI changes are registered in the CMS, Service Manager automatically moves the phase from Change Implementation to Change Evaluation and Closure.
