Keeping track of changes in your environment
Administrators can request to specify a justification when saving or editing items to keep track of the changes in your environment.
During the deployment of HCL Universal Orchestrator, the administrator can enable justifications to require additional information every time a user performs a change to an item in your environment by setting the related parameters in the values.yaml file.
When justifications are enabled, a panel appears every time someone deploys the workspace
in the UI, or
when someone creates or edits items in the database. To motivate the changes in the
environment, users can specify information regarding the following types of
justification:
- Category
- Users can select to which category the performed change applies. The
available categories are:
- Change request
- Request for a change.
- Trouble ticket
- Change associated with a ticket.
- New application
- Change that introduces a new application.
- Optimization
- Rework that does not affect the application behavior.
- Emergency change
- Change that must be applied urgently.
- Ticket number
- Users can specify a ticket number that is related to the change. The maximum number of characters allowed is 50.
- Description
- Users can describe the change, or the reason why a change was necessary. The maximum number of characters allowed is 1000.
For information about enabling justification during the deployment of HCL Universal Orchestrator, see the optional parameters mentioned in Deploying the product components.
