BMC Service Request Management enhancements

The following sections provide information about the enhancements in this release of BMC Service Request Management.

Remedy no longer uses Adobe Flash

Adobe has announced the end of development and distribution of Flash Player by the end of the year 2020. BMC has taken proactive steps to manage the sunset of Adobe Flash Player. We have implemented viable alternatives to use Remedy without Adobe Flash Player and enhanced the following product capabilities:

ITSM applications

  • Enhanced visualization features such as creating and viewing processes in Service Request Management. For details, see  Viewing and managing your requests Open link and Creating a standard PDT Open link in Service Request Management documentation.
  • The CMDB explorer and Audit user interface which are part of the new CMDB user experience are now available through Remedy applications. For details, see Exploring CI relationships Open link and Viewing a BMC Atrium CMDB audit of a CI Open link in Remedy Asset Management documentation.

Approval Sequence Viewer in Approval Central

Remedy Mid Tier version 20.08 offers HTML rendering for the approval sequence viewer. HTML rendering provides the latest rendering technology with an improved look and feel.
