Configuring the approval process for CI configurations

Perform this procedure to configure the default criteria for approving configurations. If the BMC Change Management application is installed, the application creates a change request for the configuration and sends notification. Otherwise, the application sends notification.

For example, if you define the approval process for company A on this form, when you create a configuration from the Manage Configurations link in the BMC Asset Management application for company A, the application sends the request for approval to the group or individual specified to approve configurations for that company.

  7. If the Remedy Change Management application is installed, you must also configure the change request generated for a new configuration:
    • If there is an appropriate change template, select it. The change template indicates the change timing, impact, urgency, risk level, and lead time.

    • If you do not select a change template, you must select the change timing, impact, urgency, and risk level. Optionally, you can specify the lead time to indicate the number of hours of preparation required before a change can be scheduled for implementation.

      Important

      Risk Level 1 is the lowest risk and Risk Level 5 is the highest risk.
