Help for clearing DEV and TEST Instance
Hi, We have 3 instances of SD+ which are copies of our prod instance which we call DEV and TEST. Last week we renewed our contact and we decided to reduce our DEV and TEST lisences to 5 techs and 500 nodes, we have 200/50k in prod. The problem is that we used to importe our PROD DB to our other instances... I have reduced the amount of techs to 5 that's not an issue but I need to delete 40k+ assets but we want to keep 500 of them for test purpose. Is there some sort of query I can use for that ?

Change Approval Requests - Status Reporting
I'm using ServiceDesk Plus 8.2.0. I've searched the posts and found some great responses on the status of change approvers that help me towards my reporting requirement.

Moving from Windows Server to Linux
Hi, Our service desk has been giving us a lot of problems lately, Our infrastructure has changed a lot in the last 6 months which I believe has caused some of these issues. I'd like to start with a somewhat clean slate, by moving Service Desk from a Windows based server to a Linux based server. Do I lose any functionality by doing this? Also is it possible to just export strictly the tickets? I don't want to bring the entire Database along as I feel like I will be bringing the same issues along

User Reply to a merged ticket opens a new ticket
Hi When two requests are merged, the newer request is deleted after being merged. Currently, if the user replies to an email from the newer request (the acknowledgement email, for example) it opens a new ticket. For example: Bob submits the initial request (##100##). He forgets he has sent this and two days later sends the same request again (##101##). Support staff merge the tickets. Bob's wife remembers something and replies to the acknowledgement of ##101#.
