Incident request resolution with an emergency change request
This user scenario describes how to resolve an incident request with an emergency change request. Incident Management and Remedy Change Management must be installed to follow this user scenario.
Joe Unser, a Calbro Services benefits agent, cannot access the local area network. He contacts the Calbro Service desk, and Francie Stafford, a service desk analyst, creates an incident request.
The incident request is assigned to Ian Plyment, a specialist in the support group assigned to Joe's company. Ian determines that Joe's data port is broken, and an emergency change is required to restore Joe's service.
Ian contacts Allen Allbrook, the owner of the service, to let him know that an emergency change is required. Allen assesses the risk and authorizes Ian to perform the work.
Ian then replaces Joe's data port and documents his actions in the incident request. Ian verifies with Joe that he can now access the local area network.
Ian closes the incident request and notifies Mary Mann, the change coordinator, of the emergency change so she can register the change. This ensures everyone can see what was changed, should the emergency change cause other incidents to occur. It also ensures that BMC Atrium CMDB is updated.
