No. Your existing ticket data remains as is and continues to use the old company-based permissions. For details, see Access control for ticket data.


After upgrading, newly created records follow the enhanced data access model. For details, see the Access control for ticket data. 


AR Server automatically updates the parent field values for all the records in the system. This update is done in the background and the time taken depends on the volume of data.

For example, Service Desk is the parent of Backoffice Support. If you change the parent of Backoffice Support to Change Management:

  • The previous parent (Service Desk) and its parent groups can no longer access the data of Backoffice Support.
  • The new parent (Change Management) can access the data of the child group (Backoffice Support).


If an approver is not a member of the support groups mentioned in a change request, the request is not visible in an application record. In this case, approvers should always approve a request from the Approval Central.


The BMC Documentation portal gives you the ability to generate PDF and Microsoft Word documents of single pages, and to create PDF exports of multiple pages in a space.  

Creating PDF and Word exports

You can create a PDF of a page or a set of pages. (Non-English page exports are not supported.) You can also create a Word document of the current page.

To export to PDF or Word

  1. From the Tools menu in the upper-right, select a format:
    • Export to Word to export the current page to Word format
    • Export to PDF to export the current page or a set of pages to PDF
  2. If exporting to PDF, select what you want to export:
    • Only this page to export the current page
    • This page and its children to export a set of pages
    For example, selecting This page and its children from the home page exports the entire space to PDF.
