Request/Task Workflows Questions
Just had a few questions regarding Request workflows and Tasks. Is there currently any way to or any potential in the near future to have Tasks submitted for Approval? Is there any to spawn a new Request based on criteria from a previously opened Request? I.E. - I open Request A to request access to an internal system. Then Request B is automatically launched once Request A is submitted. Is there anyway to have the pre-built tasks (from the Work Flow) editor unchecked when opening a new Request?
Updating the "Site" on tickets, and question about doing the same for "Region"
We do a lot of reporting based on site and region, and we are exceptionally pleased about the integration with AnalyticsPlus (on-premise). The data produced is only as good as the data we have, however. We have a number of users that have come into the SDP database with an erronous site. We clean this up, but any tickets created prior to the correction still have the erronous site. Question 1 Is there a fast way to clean these up using a script or process? (Right now we are searching for all the
Change status from HOLD to OPEN when a new conversation item is added
Hello, Is there any way through business rules or incident template rule to change a request's status from Hold to Open if a new conversation item is received? I am considering having Technicians set a request to On Hold when they send a reply that requires a response from the requester. I would like the request's status to change to Open once the reply is received, that would be wonderful. If another trigger is required to make the status change from Hold to Open I would be interested in my option.

Auto Reply for Specific Incident Templates
Hi, Is there a way to create an auto reply only for certain incident template? I found the way to create auto reply for when user send request and when the request is closed.

Dynamic workflow in SDP
Hi, Wondering if this is achievable: I would like to have a request form/template that directs the workflow to different approvers depending upon contents of a field. I thought I could start with a request template in the service catalog, which has a business rule run that changes the template to the desired (identical) template, but with workflow added to it. The problem is, when I select the 'change to template' option, only request templates without workflow show. Also, I can't see how I can

team member not visible as a Technician in maintenance (nor as a requester)
HI, I have a technician who is not visible in "Technicians", nor in "Requesters". He is visible as a Technician in the drop down list for some call types - however in the database there are three entries for him - 2 with a zero technician ID and one with a valid technician ID.

ServiceDesk Plus stopped working after low disk space condition on server
Our ServiceDesk Plus server had a low disk space issue this morning. After deleting some old backup files, and removing unnecessary installers, I was able to recover 40GB of free space; however, ServiceDesk Plus still failed to work. I reviewed similar cases in the Forum, and tried to start the service using run.bat, to no avail. While reviewing the log file, serverout0, I noted the error, java.io.EOFException What does this mean? Is this the reason for the failure? I attached serverout0.txt for

RE blank login page after changing port
I submitted a post earlier about the login page showing blank after adding a cert and changing the port. Anyway, it was my fault as I was testing in a browser on the server which was too restrictive. There are no issues for us and it is working great with ssl. I thought I would be able to edit/reply or maybe delete the original post, but I guess it's waiting to be approved. It does not need to be approved or posted since this is a non-issue. Thanks.

reopen requests by email not from requester
Hello, I have a problem with requests not being opened by incoming emails which are not sent from the requester itself. I have two different HelpDesk installations/configurations. In one (9.2 Build 9211) requests are opened independent of the sender address: In the other (9.2 Build 9218) requests are only opened if the sender address equals the requester: Is there another configuration option to enable the possibility of everyone being able to reopen a request?

We have an invalid site that was accidentally created. I have tried to remove the use of the site everywhere that I could find it. When I try to delete the site it will not allow me to do so.

Change status when a reply is posted (not an email reply)

Any Way to Exclude Certain Emails from Generating a New Request?
I could delete them from Users Database (Requester), but when the next sync from AD occurs, that User will be imported right back. I could create a Custom Trigger for that specific email address but then need to create custom .bat script to delete Ticket. Seems like there should be an easier way to do this. Thanks.
