    it states ' Is all the content for BMC Remedy ITSM 8.1 in this space?'  - this should be 9.1

      All occurrences of 8.1 have been updated.

    after logging in and when I hover over 'Share' the wording reads 'Share this content with other users (s)' which should really read "Share this content with other users (Type 's')" to be consistent with the other icons. same with every page on BMC docs.

    under release notes and notices there is a note that states "For example, if you are upgrading from version 7.6.04, review the release notes for versions 8.0, 8.1, and 9.0."  - this needs to be updated to incorporate 9.1, also there is no link on the 9.0 like there is with 8.0, 8.1

    I would like to see an 'uninstalling' section here where it is explained how to uninstall various ITSM 9.1 components, there are uninstaller folders and executables in installation directories (such as UninstallAtriumCore, UninstallITSMSuite) which can be run it appears but these aren't explained in any bmc docs that I can see. (searches for 'uninstall', 'uninstalling' return nothing) even if it just a short FAQ section that says contact bmc for assistance uninstalling and what to do/not to do, order of uninstall, showing examples, dependencies of uninstalling, etc explaining best ways to approach this I believe would be beneficial to bmc docs.

      it would be nice if the time was taken on documentation as it initially was by explaining everything, fields on forms and purposes, as well as screen shots.  that was much more helpful than today where you click a link then click a link for more information only to click another link and so on and so on ...

      Hello Colin,

      Thank you for your feedback.

      Installation and uninstallation information in provided in the BMC Remedy ITSM Deployment 9.1 online documentation. The Uninstalling application components section in that documentation provides the procedures for uninstalling BMC Remedy ITSM application components. 

      I also added a relevant link and labels in the Installing topic in this documentation, to help direct users to the correct uninstallation topic.

      Additionally, I have forwarded your suggestions to provide additional information around the order of uninstallation and dependencies to the writers who handle the deployment documentation. They will work on adding the required information as appropriate.

      Regards,
      Bhakti

    Question on scenario- upgrading from 7.5 to 9.1-- TRB tickets from 7.5 are accessible in 9.1- if changes are made to the tickets in the 9.1 environment (IE they are hard closed) and then we revert back to 7.5 will those changes carry over? Or will the tickets be as they were in 7.5 before the attempted upgrade?

      Hi Ashley,

       

      I will check with the SMEs and get back to you on this.

    1. Sirisha Dabiru

      Hi Ashley Teague,

      After upgrading to 9.1 from an older version and making changes to the older tickets (tickets created in your 7.5 environment), if you revert to 7.5, the changes made to the tickets in the 9.1 environment are carried over to the 7.5 environment. However, there might be data access issues. In 9.1, ticket data access is tied to support group. In the older versions, ticket data access is based on the company permissions.

       

      Regards,

      Sirisha

    Where can I find process designer documentation? It has become really difficult to locate process designer documentation. The link on EPD got me here on the ITSM page. Can someone please help me?

        Not supporting anymore?  There was a version 9.1 released a month back and all of a sudden it is not supported?. Can you please point me to the document, where it says that BMC is not supporting PD anymore. I need to inform this to our customers urgently.
