  • 1.  Fill 'Time_Spent' property on SDM via PAM

    Posted Dec 19, 2012 12:18 PM
    Hi everyone,

    I need to update a ticket with the properties: assignee, status and alg.time_spent.
    I can't pass the last property (Time_Spent), probably because is from another table.
    I already checked the Web Service Methods searching from some help but I can't find anything that could help me.

    Anyone have suggestions?

    Regards,
    Sérgio Castro

    It's a little tricky because when you update a ticket, the alg entry is created AFTER the update. So it doesn't exist yet.

    So you can either add a step after the ticket update that queries for the last alg and update the time_spent

    OR

    instead of updating the ticket, you can create a new alg object and set the time spent there. One of the fields in the alg object is "call_req_id". This would be the persid of the cr to which you would like to attach the alg

    Your first option option seems the best for me, however i would add a 10/15 seconds delay between steps, i've seen in Service Desk act log entries out of order due to a bad server performance (VM server...)
