Event & Alarm ID
Hi, I would like to suggest OpManager to display the Alarm / Event ID in the Alarm page. This would be useful when we put the notes - so that we can refer what we have done for that particular event. -- Regards, Anandharaj System Engineer (Unix / Linux)
Problem associating minor versions of software

Problem with Server.xml
I may be missing something obvious but here is my issue: SDP build 8007 I was trying to install a cert from DigiCert last night and ran into an issue right at the end. I used the instructions found http://davemast.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/adding-ssl-to-servicedesk/ and when I created the keystore I used <my domain>.keystore instead of sdp.keystore. In theory that shouldn't be a problem since I just edited the server.xml file to point to the new keystore and added my password to the file. The problem
Poor performance using Support Centre
Hi. We're experiencing very poor performance on our Support Centre Plus system. I've just upgraded to build 7701 to see if this resolved the issue but it didn't. Some of the symptoms include delays while navigating the site and waiting for several hours while trying to import users from Active Directory. I've watched system activity on the server while performance is poor and see nothing out of the ordinary - CPU not maxed out, disk not maxed out, network not maxed out, etc. We're running

Administrators log in with normal user access, domain appearance changed in login window
Hey, None of my named technicians and administrators can log in correctly to MESDP today. The server rebooted overnight due to a power issue. This morning, when people go to log in, the short name of the domain in the "Log on to" dropdown was replaced with the FQDN of the domain. (To be a little more clear, let's say my domain is called DOMAIN.COM. The short name of this domain is DOM. In the log on to dropdown, the value DOM was replaced with the value DOMAIN.COM.) When any of us log in,

More e-mail adresses or separation of request types
Hi there, We're quite pleased with ServiceDesk Plus in our IT Department. Our genereal Facility Services would also like to use the same application for general non-IT service requests. How can we separate the incoming service requests? For instance: 1. helpdesk@yyyy.com is automatically notifying technicians A+B. facility@yyyy.com notifies technician C. 2. Mails with subject "Facility" at the start automatically notify technician C and all others notify technicians A+B. BR Ricci Setholm
No Categories available for new requests after update to 7.6
Yesterday night I made the update of SDPlus MSP from 7.5 to 7.6. Everything worked fine without any error messages. Since the update there are some troubles with the account-based categories. We have 7 categories and all of them have the "This category is applicable for all accounts"-Box checked. When we now create a new request the Category (and Item and SubItem) Dropdown is empty independent of which Account/Site is selected. If we leave the Category empty and edit the request after the creation

Notification - Acknowledge requester by e-mail when the request is updated - what does update mean?
Our users interact with SDP mostly via email. I have had users complain that they do not want to see email notifications when they reply to request notifications. So I turned off that feature and turned on the feature "Acknowledge requester by e-mail when the request is updated". My question is - what triggers this? What is the definition of "updated"? I made myself an owner of a request, and set someone else as technician. I then had another technician reply to a notification and I did not get

8007: Notification errors
Hi, We just upgraded from 8006 to 8007. Since the upgrade, any response to an OPEN ticket by a requester not only generates the "updated" notification but also generates the "ticket has been reopened" notification. So basically we're getting duplicate notifications, one of which is simply inaccurate since the ticket itself is not closed. How can we go about resolving this? Thank you. James

Set authorisation limits on Purchases
Hello, Would it be possible to be able to set technicians up with Purchase order authorisation limits. For example, Approver A has a limit of up to £500, Approver B has a limit of up to £1000, Approver C can approve unlimited amount.

Purchase order - drafts implementation
Hi, Right now in SDP if you start the PO and then navigate to another tab or link in SDP, the PO changes are not saved anywhere making user re-enter the same PO numerous times. I would like to suggest implementing drafts approach in the similar way it works in MS Outlook: 1. Then trying to navigate away from the newly opened PO, the dialog will appear asking if user wishes to save the incomplete PO to drafts (folder?) or discard the changes. If yes, the order will be saved into drafts place with

Problem with SDP to move between two different servers
Dear All, I have two servers with SD Plus, they are running under different site URLs. Today I made backup of MSSQL database of server 1 and restored it into database of server 2.

Support Center Plus full integration
Hi ManageEngine, Currently, in OpManager you can configure in Admin - Notification Profiles - Email Profiles to trigger an email for a certain event and that will create a SR in Support Center Plus. Which would be handy is having the same fully integration that it has with ServiceDesk Plus, where one can create profiles for certain events that come from certain services and assign them to an specific engineer. In other words the product can't talk directly with Support Center Plus if it would be
SLA to Location - bad Idea...
Hi, In my humble opinion, idea to connect Location to SLA is not so good... Please find below my case: What if we have more than one team in one location, and first team is working 8-16 mon-fr and second 24/7? The only way now is to create 2 locations and assign them different SLA... however... if we need to reassign incidents/problems we need to do a lot more than if they were in one location... moreover we are unable reassign task from one team to other if they are in different locations, or assign

Request won't show up when Request are created by email...
I recently upgrade from build 6002 to build 7010 and some requests won't show up on my Open Request page. As I can see in the header, I should have 28 requests and only 15 of them are visible. I figured out that it was caused by requests created by email including html code. To temporally fix the problem I have to search for those specifics requests, edit the request and Toggle off the HTML Source and now all my requests become visible. I want to know if somebody experiments this issue, maybe it

8006 - Email Replies not appended to request
We recently upgraded from 7611 to 8006 and have noticed that email appends do not seem to function properly anymore.

I sent this email in to our SD instance and it generated WO # 48577: I then received the email notification that my requesthad been received and given ticket number 48577 and I replied to this message,
Service Desk Views
Hi, I am in the process of developing a department site for my group, Information Technology, at my job. We use SharePoint as our intranet platform. I have a page that when a User goes to that page, we would like them to see their open tickets that they requested. We don't want them to have to logon to Manage Engine, it should auto log them on based off of their assigned network id, and simply display that user's open tickets. In SharePoint I've added a web part Page Viewer, all this web part

Error with automatic emailling/notification, after upgrade to Service Desk Plus Version 8007
After upgrading to Version 8007, the automtic emailing system doesnt work. All inbound emails come in as normal, but all automatic notifications have stopped working. If you try and forward or reply to request all you get in the subject field are the fields to be sent not the actual data. ie "[Fwd: ##$RequestId## : $Title]" instead of the proper details. If you then carry on to process the email it does actually send the email, so the SMTP mail is working ok. Any ideas
