Requests for Change

Configuration Manager imports from UCMDB requests for change (RFCs) that were opened in Service Manager. Every RFC is associated with at least one CI. The RFCs for a CI are displayed in the Related RFCs tab of the Comparison Details pane in the Review/Authorize, Changes History, and Authorization History modules.

You can filter the RFCs retrieved based on the RFC properties, the CI types, and the number of days since the RFC was scheduled to be completed using the settings in Administration > Settings > Application Management > RFC under Fetched RFCs Criteria. You can also select the RFC properties to be displayed using the settings under RFC Display.

Note The filter by the scheduled RFC completion date is relevant for the Review/Authorize module. In the Changes History and Authorization History modules, only RFCs scheduled for completion within the range of the selected snapshots are displayed.

It is a best practice to check the Related RFCs tab for a CI indicated as in breach of a policy, as part of the investigation of the causes of the breach.
