Configuring BMC Remedy ITSM Task management support

Task management describes functions that manage ITSM tasks. ITSM tasks are used for associating configuration items (CIs). Other tasks are action-specific. For every task attached to a change ticket, there is an action.
When a task is assigned, BMC Atrium Orchestrator runs the action mentioned in the task ticket. If your current BMC Remedy ITSM configuration does not support tasks relationships, you must download and install the BMC Remedy ITSM Task Management patch (006).

Note

This task is required only if you are using BMC Remedy ITSM version 7.0.03.
