CA SDM implements duplicate handling based on the policy that each ticket relates to. The CA SDM administrator can configure the following behavior based on the problem type:
  • Ignore the Duplicate Ticket
    Ignores and discards the duplicate tickets when more than one ticket is created for the same policy.
  • Create a new ticket
    Creates a new ticket each time a policy is violated
  • Append the existing ticket with a log comment
    Appends the log comment in the first ticket with the description in the second one. When a policy is first violated, CA SDM creates a ticket for the policy violation and for the subsequent occurrences it just appends a log comment to the first ticket.
  • Create a child ticket
    Creates a child ticket if a ticket for the policy violation is already available.
Each time a managed asset violates or no longer violates a policy, a service desk ticket is created for that asset. However, if a policy is re-evaluated and the violation state of the asset is unchanged, no new ticket is created.
