    Enhancements :

    • SDF- 27495 : Release Management in ServiceDesk Plus

      ServiceDesk Plus now supports Release Management in the IT help desk. Release management allows you to plan, build, test, and deploy releases to the production environment. A release can be defined as the process of delivering a set of authorized changes to IT services in a controlled environment. You can use release management to deploy hardware, software, documentation, processes, guidelines, policies, and other components to service operations. Throughout its life cycle, the release process is closely associated with the change management process.

      ServiceDesk Plus supports the following 9 stages that are essential to any release process :

      • Submission
      • Planning
      • Development
      • Testing
      • UAT
      • Deployment
      • Training
      • Review
      • Closure

      Each stage in the release management contains statuses that indicate the progress of a release within the stage. Besides statuses, each stage has its planned schedule, roles, approvals, tasks and in some cases, downtimes.

      You can create a release request easily by using pre-configured templates, associate workflows with release requests to define the direction of the flow of the release process. Using workflows, you can include statuses in each stage, set up approvals, allocate stage-wise permissions to users, and configure notifications.To learn more about release management, Click here.

    • SD-90790 : Backup, Restore, and Migration Changes

      The following changes are applicable for build 11304 or newer.

      • Both scheduled backup and manual backup will now use the native backup and restore mechanisms of the respective databases (PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL) as applicable.
      • The backups will now be stored in EZIP files instead of DATA files.
      • In the case of Microsoft SQL, the backup data will be saved in the SQL Server itself and the corresponding file attachments will be saved in the configured backup location.
      • The backup files will no longer have cross compatibility between PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server databases.
      • In Postgres setups, the scheduled backups are not cross-compatible between 32 bit and 64 bit architectures. However, dump backups that are taken using standalone tool are cross-compatible between 32 bit and 64 bit architecture.
      • Old backup and restore mechanism is supported for migration between PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server and vice-versa via manual process using the following commands:
        • For backup: backupdataOld.bat (Windows) or backupdataOld.sh (Linux)
        • For restore: restoreData.bat --dbmigration (Windows) or restoreData.sh --dbmigration (Linux)

        To learn more, refer to backup, restore, and migration guides.

    Enterprise Service Management (ESM)

    After upgrading to ServiceDesk Plus version 11, you can implement enterprise service management (ESM) in your organization.

    ESM enables you to bring ITSM-like help desk service to other business functions in your organization. Each business function can have a dedicated service desk instance with templates, categories, and configurations specific to that function. For example, you can have a template to request for new hire orientation under HR and request for air conditioner service under Facilities.

    Before you can create these service desk instances, you need to configure the ESM Directory, which will now be the central repository of all organizational data, including user information, service desk instances, and user association to these instances.

    All users can log on to the ESM Portal to access service desks to submit specific issues. User permissions to instances are configured in the ESM Directory. You can configure the application with a single service desk instance or with multiple instances.

    The following table lists module-wise differences between single instance and multiple instances under enterprise service management.
