Date format in query reports
Hi All, Currently running SDP 11120, Postgres SQL (installed via SDP installer) Since upgrading from SDP version 9, one of my query reports isn't working, as it looks to_char in select statement isn't supported anymore, causing an error when trying to run the report (attached). I had previously used to_char to manipulate the date format, for example: to_char(to_timestamp(wo.CREATEDTIME / 1000) + interval '10 hour' , 'DD/MM/YY') "Created Date" Is there a different way to perform the same fuction now?
[SD-81171] Asset Explorer Agent doesn't support TLS_ECDHE_* ciphers for TLS 1.2 connections
I have, through trial and error, determined that the ManageEngine Asset Explorer agent generated via Admin > Discovery > Windows Agent Configuration on ServiceDesk Plus version 11.1 11116 does not support any ciphers that use an elliptic curve diffie hellman ephemeral key agreement protocol for TLS 1.2 connections. As this will improve the security of the agent by giving access to better ciphers, is there any current or planned support for ECDHE by the agent? I was unable to test whether or not it
Trouble finding My Requests and following Emails?
Is anyone else having trouble finding their requests within PitStop? I see some, but not all requests currently being worked on by support. I also find it difficult when you reply to an email (because replies always come during off-hours) a new ticket number is generated. This makes it difficult to follow in your email threads - especially if you have multiple tickets you are working with support. Searching active ticket numbers in My Requests also yield no found requests. It doesn't seem to matter

[Term of the Day]: Digital Twin
Term of the Day “Digital Twin” Definition — What is Digital Twin? Digital twin in simple words can be explained as a virtual representation of a real-world machine, device, process, or system.

Height of dropdown for subcategory when editing request

How to disable new ticket notification, when ticket is only updated
Hello, When a new request comes in, and we find that we need to make an edit to the request - are there certain forms or fields that would trigger the request to resend the new ticket notification out with updated ticket content? For example, if we change the requester of a ticket. We would prefer to disable this feature or better understand what fields will trigger this, so that when we update a ticket the system does not send out a notification stating that a new ticket has been entered, when
Unable to modify ServiceDesk instances in ESM admin settings
