1. Class Changes

    Article: AN0002499Updated: 04.01.2024

    Description

    Class contains the Change entity of the IT (CMDB) model solution. This is an entity recording a Change that occurred on a Configuration Item and that is not captured in another way (e.g. Task). The goal is to register the Change that occurred, regardless of how it was authorized, so that the Configuration Database (CMDB) is up-to-date and the Solvers of any future Incidents have information about what happened. For planned Change Requests requiring approval, use the Change request (RFC).
