Report on Dev environment has links pointing to production
Greetings, We have recently created a DEV environment on a separate server. When we run reports on the DEV environment, the links on the report are pointing to the production URL and not the DEV? We did take a copy of the Prod's database to build the Dev so it makes sence for this to occure, however, is there a way to resolve it? i.e. the links on the DEV should go to the DEV URL Both the DEV and Prod are using the same backend Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. Thanks in advance.
Convert Service Request to Incident
Greetings, Since the Views and Reports module do not recognize the additonal fields we added to our Service Catalog, we are working on rebuilding the Service Requests as Incidents in our DEV environment. We did run into issues with the limited number of additional field number which is only 24, however, we were able to workaround that.

ServiceDesk Uninstall Process Deletes Configuration Files
When uninstalling software with the intent of re-installing it is helpful if configuration files are available from a previous installation. I discovered that SD deletes all the contents of \ManageEngine\ServiceDesk\server which is where much of the customization exists in configs. I suggest the uninstall process preserve the config files in the backup directory as an archive instead of deleting.

Hi, Is there any method by which an external system or application can be called once a ticket is created? Basically I want to automate the process after a ticket is created. For eg, as soon as a ticket is created, based on the subject,category,etc it should call a workflow. And once the workflow is done executing, the ticket in the SDP should be updated or closed. Thank you, Kavya
