Changing "groups" - consequences to existing tickets?
Are there any consequences or side-effects to changing groups on existing tickets? Prior to the establishment of "Sites", we built groups based on Location. Now that we have sites, we need to setup "Groups" to be of similar work requests (Desktop Systems, Telecommunications, ERP, etc). If I delete groups, and add new ones, what can I expect from existing tickets and our reports? If there are side-effects, what can I do to alleviate them? Thanks so much!

ServiceDesk Hardware Requirements
Hello, I need some information. First of all, is there any chance to install this software in a shared hosting plan. I read somewhere that it is possible if you have Telnet/SSH rights. Now, let's imagine a normal situation, where I am quite limited. Isn't there a version to upload? Not a .exe file? Or maybe install it in my computer, and upload the 200 MB, would that work? Their concern is with the security of the file, apparently. Now, imagine I COULD upload it, what hardware requirements should
Purchase Order Numbers
Hello - I am in the process of upgrading to the current version - which I understand is now 7606. We were at 7014 and currently are running 7514 so I have a few steps to get to the current. However, I have run into an issue that I don't understand related to assigning Purchase Order Numbers. We have been using a letter as the first character of the PO number but when I try to enter this I get a database error [FAILURE :Database exception setting default configuration. Please report the problem

Can't delete folder structure after installing 7508 upgrade...

Possible to amend resolution or completed dates?
Hi, Sometimes we forget to put requests onhold, or carry out the work but forget to update the request - is it possible to go back and amend the completion or resolution dates on requests? I appreciate that only admin users should have this sort of access, but it would be useful to 'correct' mistakes on requests. Thanks, Rich

SDP Remote Control

editing a request clears out the Group assignment.
Not sure if its really an issue, but it is an extreme annoyance. When going back to an existing request and clicking "edit" to modify it the Group assignment clears out. If you reset the group assignment, the team is notified that a request has been added to the group, even though the request was already there. I've tested this in IE7, IE8, FireFox, Chrome, and Safari. Each browser does the same thing, so it seems to be an issue with ServiceDesk or I'm going crazy. Anyone else see anything

Dear Colleagues, Previosly we had service contract with a IT partner, now the contract has ended. Partner gave us a MS SQL database SDP Enterprise 7.0.0 contains 24000 requests and 300 solutions.

OPM Log A Ticket to SDP
Dear all, We have successfully integrated OPM 7205 with SDP 7506. We also created "Log A Ticket" notification profiles inside OPM to generate SDP tickets automatically when servers/services down. We can choose the Category, Priority and Technician during the profile creation and related tickets can be generated successfully into SDP. However, the corresponding "Requests" logged at SDP were "unassigned". All the 3 fields (Category, Priority and Technician) we pre-defined at OPM profile are "unassigned".
