Incident or Service Request ?

one of my client is running NSD 6.5.4, and yet only Incident Management is configured. Customers sends emails to support and their is a "Default Incident Team" who receives the email and assign the Incident to the appropriate Team(Apps Support Team, Network Support Team, Front Office Team, etc).
As of now everything is Incident, e.g "Password Change" and "Account Unlock" requests are all treated as "Incidents".. because only Incident Management is configured/implemented.
Now we are going to implement the "Service Request", "Change Request" etc.
in NSD 6.5.4 we can only create Incidents from "Service Request" but not the vice-versa (while in NSD 7 "Incidents can now be converted to Service Requests and vice-versa.")
So my Question here is till my client is using NSD 6.5.4, if a customer sends an email then
1 - a Service Request should be created(instead of Incident), so that "Default Request Team" can convert it to "Incident" if necessary/required.
i,e now the Entry Point(if customer sends email) should be "Service Request" instead of "Incident" ?
Please guide me on this.

  • How do I set-up my Dataset to pull data for Service Requests for a report

    I am using SQL Server 2012 Report Builder 3.0.
    I have my Data Source added - DWDataMart
    I want to build my Dataset to query and find a very specific item. Basically I am creating a daily report that will show what each "team" or Support Group (AD Object) Closed that day. He also wants the ability to open it by date, so if he misses
    a day he can get it later.
    I am totally new to this report building and only got this far by following a guide on a blog, but he used incident Reports in his example, and I do not know what objects to query for service requests.
    Thanks for any information you can provide.

    First, you will need to get the support group ID's in the warehouse before you can run reports for them.  I found that putting these queries in their own stored procedure was a better path.
    select IR.IncidentTierQueuesId, IR.IncidentTierQueuesValue
    from dbo.IncidentTierQueues as IR
    where IR.IncidentTierQueuesId != 0
    select SR.ServiceRequestSupportGroupId, SR.ServiceRequestSupportGroupValue
    from dbo.ServiceRequestSupportGroup as SR
    where sr.ServiceRequestSupportGroupId != 0
    Enter the the support group ID's into your work item query.
    Incident information is in dbo.IncidentDim and Service Requests are found in dbo.ServiceRequestDim.  Both incidents and service requests link to relationship data through dbo.WorkItemDim.  You can INNER JOIN on BaseManagedEntityId to link the incident
    or service request to the workitem entry and from there to the Assigned Users, Affected Users, or Affected Configuration Items.  Each relationship has it's own separate fact views.
    If you poke about in the tables, you will find it pretty easy to pull back all sorts of information from the data warehouse.

  • Record assigned entry different for service requests and incidents

    Hi
    I've noticed something recently when using/implementing service manager that the record assignment formats are different depending on if you are assigning an incident or service request.
    For example when assigning an incident the record assignment shows the display names of the user being assigned (eg the incident is assigned to Joe Bloggs) however for a service request it shows as assigned to domain\jbloggs.
    Is there any reason for the difference between the 2 and can it be standardised as we use the work item action log to send assignment notifications to the affected users and while it's great for incidents it doesn't look good for service requests

    Unfortunately, this is just a text property and this different behaviour is hard-coded into SCSM and cannot be changed. Different people worked on the IR and SR forms and there are many inconsistencies. You could try raising a support case for it I suppose
    but I would not think it likely to be changed.

  • Create Service Request to open for the incident number we pass

    I want to call open Service Request form(Form:CSXSRISR) with details of incident number already loaded.
    I am trying to pass parameters like request_id, p_incident_id ,... When the form opens it says no such parameter is there. Is there any way to open a create service request form with the service request loaded for the incident number we pass

    Hi Joaquin,
    Thank you for answering. I already tried: I select the line with the email in the Inbox, I press Interact (the account is automatically recognized and I am asked to confirm it), I confirm the account and then I navigate to "Service Request" workcenter: a new Service Request is displayed, with the employee responsible and the customer automatically filled. However, I can see no data regarding any attached email in any of the Service Request tabs (even if I save or select "End").
    After your answer, I tried the same procedure with the "Service Ticket" and noticed that the email is correctly displayed as an Interaction Record under the Business Content tab for the Service Ticket: since you confirmed that this should work also for Service Request, I guess there's something wrong in my customizing settings and now I will search for errors.
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards,
    Laura.

  • Reporting In Service Manager 2012 - How To Get A List Of All Service Requests Regardless of Status

    Within the Custom Reporting Options available to users of Ssystem Center Service Manager 2012, which would one use to create reports that do not contain any agregated data but are instead detail level info such as a list of all Service Requests reardless
    of status?  I want to include within the report the same data you see on the main page of a Service Request when you double-click a Service Request within Service Manager and it pops opne the details of the Service Request.
    I'm trying to get the following info for each Service Requests
    SR ID (i.e. SR1234)
    Affected User
    Title
    Description
    Priority
    Source
    Area
    Support Group
    Assigned To
    Created By and Created On
    I know the cubes w/Excel offer a great way to get data for a **piece meal report or for getting agregated data (I.E. counts, sums, avergares, Max's & Mins) but I need a report that has zero totals and no agregations. 
    Thanks
    ** A piece meal report is a report that has to be manually pieced together by combining data from others reports and other sources because no single report can be constructed to bring all the data togethere into a single report.  If you've ever
    worked with an accountant taht uses Excel for everything but who has no idea how SQL or databases in general are deisgned then chances are you've either been asked to create a piece meal report for them and or seen them do one them selves when they open a
    spreadshet and dump into it disperate data from a variety of sources and then ask you why you can't automate that same report for them.

    the following thread covers some good SQL queries to get details about the Incident Request, just amend them to cover the Service Request

  • Template to open multiple service requests

    I have the following requirement to achieve with service manager...
    I wish to open a new Service request or incident from HR for a new starter,
    This SR or incident then needs to open templeted sub activites of build machine, assign phone extension, create AD account etc etc
    These sub-tasks can then be assigned to other staff and closed off seperately but all link to the master...
    How can I achieve this?
    ***Don't forget to mark helpful or answer***

    This is, in fact, the entire purpose of the template, to allow you to create complex work items like Service Requests, with all component activities as they are. 
    The service request is a linear progression, i.e. only one activity will run at a time, and as soon as it completes, the next activity will start. this behavior is by design. if you have multiple tasks that need to run concurrently, consider using a Parallel
    Activity container. the PA container will start, and all activities within the PA container will start, and as soon as all activities inside the PA are completed, then the PA will complete, and the next activity inside the Service Request will start.
    Views are not updated unless you click away and back, or manually refresh the view. this might be why you don't see them.  

  • Service Requests not resolving

    Good Morning TechNet Experts,
    I have been having an issue with service requests and I'm one week away from deployment. Basically, I had no need for a "Review" activity, we implement service requests the same way we implement incidents. An analyst opens a ticket for customer,
    once service has been applied they should resolve the service request. With incidents this is easy, you just change the incident status to resolved...
    However, with Service Requests I created a new template that did not require the "Approval" activity, only the "Apply Service" activity. My Idea was when an analyst is finished with the ticket, he/she just marks the "Apply Service"
    activity as completed and the service request can move to "Completed" status.
    Although the activity is being marked as completed, the ticket is not changing status. Some are stuck in "In Progress" and some are stuck in "New" status (even though the activity is showing as completed....). These have been stuck for
    more than 24 hours now... when this actually goes into production a week from now even 5 minutes is a long time.
    What can I do to solve this? I am open to implementing a new procedure if required. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    First of all, it looks like you are having an issue with your workflows. Please restart the HealthService (Microsoft Monitoring Agent) and check if the workflows restart. Do other workflows run (e.g. notification subscriptions)?
    Secondly, if you are using service requests with only one manual activity, I believe the handling is a little bit complicated for your analysts. Why don't you remove all activities completely from your SR template? The service request will then go to status
    "Submitted" once created, and the analyst can use the task "Complete" to complete the SR without having to worry about activities.
    HTH,
    Dieter

  • E-Mail Inbound - reply is not linked to Service Request

    Hi all,
    we set up the E-Mail Inbound according to this guide E-MAIL INBOUND CONFIGURATION- ALM: Incident Management - SAP IT Service Management on SAP Solution Manager - SCN Wiki
    The only difference to the Settings of the guide is that we maintained it for the ZMRQ. If we send an E-Mail to the System, then automatically a service request will be created. E.g. In the status "Customer Action" the requester gets an E-Mail with a tracking ID and can reply. But now we are facing a problem, the mail is not linked to the already existing ZMRQ and according to the rule policy again a new ZMRQ is created.
    So we tried in addition to the mentioned guide above also this How to set up Threading in ERMS - CRM - SCN Wiki ,  this linked the ZMRQ to the mail. I am wondering a bit, because I know other systems with working inbound functionality and they are not set-up as in the Threading guide. Furthermore some other issues still exists after the reply the Status of the ticket is not automatically set to "in process", the text fields are not copied etc.
    Now I removed the settings from How to set up Threading in ERMS - CRM - SCN Wiki again, because I think the reason is something else...
    Does anyone know where the tracking ID of the incoming mail is checked? Does this take place in the workflow? I am thankful for every advice!
    Regards
    Katja

  • Create a view - Service Requests and Incidents

    Hi all,
    I have a Service Manager 2012 environment that has gone through an in-place upgrade from SCSM 2010.
    In the SCSM 2010 environment, Service Requests were implemented by extending the Incident class with an attribute that would denote whether the work item was an Incident or a Service Request.
    In SCSM 2012 I would like to create a view that would combine the SCSM 2010 "Service Requests" with SCSM 2012 Service Requests.
    Is it possible to create a Type Projection that performs the job of an SQL UNION statement?  If I was doing this in SQL, I'd be writing a query similar to the following:
    Select *
    From ServiceRequestDim
    Union Select *
    From IncidentDim
    Where ServiceRequestType = 'Service Request'
    (Obviously, some mapping of attributes between the two class types would be needed...and perhaps that's the reason why a type projection of this sort would not be possible...)
    An alternate approach - attack this from the Work Item class.  It's trivial to create a view that contains Service Requests and Incidents - just set your criteria to be: ID begins with 'SR' or ID begins with 'IR'.  Unfortunately, that criteria
    returns all Incidents, and I only want the Incidents that have the attribute ServiceRequestType = 'Service Request'.  Is it possible to create a Type Projection starting with the Work Item type that employs criteria from child classes?

    Work Item is an abstract class, and can't be extended for implementation reasons. 
    i think Anders has understated the difficulty of combining these views: this is a bit like saying "show me all the orange things, given this bucket of cats and this bucket of fruit" yes, they are both "orange", but fur is not the same
    as fruit rind; they're not the same "orange".
    the 2010 Service Request implementation was never intended to be a serious use case (i assume you're talking about the SCSM Service Request demo implementation on codeplex), it was intended
    to be a demo of what you could do with the form and object interfaces. 
    The solution here should be simple, convince your client that their solution has been replaced by a newer, better version, Resolve Close and then deprecate these requests, and start reporting only the new type requests. these are history, and dirty data,
    and should be ignored. 

  • Using emails to create service requests in Service Manager 2012 R2

    I have a portal form created and am able to direct the flow of service requests to the proper service request fulfillment view. I cannot see an obvious way to take in emails and create service requests, they always create incident requests. Any thoughts?

    Service requests are meant to be a well defined process which is hard to achive with an email (because the sender can write anything). With that being said the
    3.0 RTM exchange connector should be able to create service requests.  From the documentation:
    Service Manager. Exchange Connector 3.0 contains bug fixes and the initial set of features, which includes the following capabilities:
    Create incidents and service requests from email.

  • TREX - CRM Service request not showing

    Hi everyone,
    Per our understanding, TREX is linked with the button "Find related problems" on the 'More' button available on the Header tab.
    We are using service request (SRV copied to ZCAS) to create incident. Our purpose is to be able to display the other service request (ZCAS) that would have some similarities (categorization, BP,...).
    To do that, we have customized the following transaction in the spro:  CRM/Transactions/Setting for Service Request/Define System proposals for related transactions
    It is apparently working as, when cliking on the "Find Related Problems", we do have a window appearing with some similar cases.
    However, it only shows the Problem (ITPR copied to ZTPR) that have a common categorization but not the other Service request (ZCAS) even if the customizing is the same (see screenshot below) and data are available.
    Is that the good understanding of the TREX purpose?
    How come the other service request are not shown?
    Thank you very much for your help,
    Regards,
    Anaïs

    Hi,
    You can configure the system to propose the related transactions based on certain criteria. Configuration is based on the following path:
    Customizing for Customer Relationship Management under Transactions Settings for Service Requests Define System Proposals for Related Transactions .
    Check your source Transaction (Service Request) and you target transaction (Problem), and flag how would you like to find the related transaction:
    By similar:
    - category
    - Reference Objects
    - Organisation Data
    -Sold to party
    If you also would like to find "Other Service Request", then you customizing should have:
    -Source Transaction (Your Service Request),
    -Target Transaction (your service Request),
    In other words, make a new entry to determine "Other Service Requests" as related transactions, rather than ONLY other Problems as related transactions.

  • ITSM Service Request - Assigning Categories - Using Function Module

    Hi,
    We are trying to create an ITSM service request ticket from ECC, based on a workflow and its logic. I am calling a remote function module which will contain the logic as explained below.
    I am creating a CRM ITSM service request(incident) ticket using function module CRM_ICSS_SRVREQ_CREATE.
    The ticket is created but some of the fields that I need to populate in the transaction do not have an interface in this function module. I want to specify the category 1, category 2 and category 3.
    I tried function module CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN but I am unable to find the interface where I can populate this particular data. The component used here is btcategories/categories.
    Can anyone suggest where this particular data needs to be populated.
    Thanks,
