How to Create a Ticket

  • Article

Applies To: Opalis 6.2.2

This topic describes how to create a Remedy ticket for BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7 by using the Opalis Integration Server and to configure the objects. If you are using BMC Remedy IT Service Management 6, you only have to create a single Create Ticket object.

We recommend modifying the process described below and build a nested policy (or subroutine) for reuse in other workflows.

For more information about how to build a nested policy, see the “Opalis Integration Server Client User Guide”.

  1. In the Opalis Integration Server Client with the Point-to-Point Workflow policy open, in the Object Palette, expand the BMC Remedy AR System category.

  2. Click and drag a Create Request object to the designing workspace.

  3. Right-click the name of the Create Request object and select Rename.

  4. Enter Generate Ticket ID.

  5. Click and drag a Get Request object to the designing workspace.

  6. Right-click the name of the Get Request and select Rename.

  7. Enter Get Submitter.

  8. Click and drag a second Create Request object to the designing workspace.

  9. Right-click the name of the Create Request and select Rename.

  10. Enter Create Ticket.

  11. Create a link between the Monitor Alert object and the Generate Ticket ID object by clicking and dragging the right arrow of the Monitor Alert object to the Generate Ticket ID object.

  12. Create a link between the Generate Ticket ID object and the Get Submitter object by clicking and dragging the right arrow of the Generate Ticket ID object to the Get Submitter object.

  13. Create a link between the Get Submitter object and the Create Ticket object by clicking and dragging the right arrow of the Get Submitter object to the Create Ticket object.
