BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00

Notification Engine overview


This guide describes the major components and process flow of BMC Remedy IT
Service Management (BMC Remedy ITSM) 7.6.00 Notification Engine. By
understanding how all of the pieces work together, you can intelligently change
the default configuration or make any necessary customizations to meet your
organization's needs.

NOTE
This guide is an addendum to the BMC Remedy IT Service Request Management
7.6.00 Configuration Guide.
To improve performance and scalability, the 7.6.00 version of the Notification
Engine improves group notification processing and processes all notifications
asynchronously.
The Notification Engine provides a back-end workflow model for defining which
notifications should be sent, based on events in the application.
To configure notifications, the primary option provided with the BMC Remedy
ITSM 7.6.00 Suite is exposed on the People form for support staff. Additional
behind-the-scenes configuration is available through back-end forms, but you
must understand how all of the pieces fit together before attempting these types of
changes.
The Notification Engine provides the following primary functions:

Determines notification recipients (group or individual).

Specifies the notification text.

Initiates the notification delivery (BMC Remedy Alert, email, or pager).

Logs the notification details.

Notification Engine Guide

Notification Engine architecture

Notification Engine architecture


The BMC Remedy ITSM notification subsystem is available to all BMC Remedy
ITSM applications and is connected to the BMC Remedy Action Request System
(AR System) Email Engine.
Figure 1-1: Notification Engine architecture

Major components
The following major components make up the notification subsystem architecture:

System Events and Message CatalogDefines notification events and


notification text.

System process controlProcesses each notification event received from


various BMC Remedy ITSM modules.

Notification interfaceSends the formatted notification (alert, email, pager).

Notification auditAudits each notification that is visible from the BMC


Remedy ITSM modules.

Configuration settings and user preferencesManages system default


notifications and user notification preferences.

Chapter 1 BMC Remedy ITSM Notification Engine

BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00

System Events and Message Catalog


The System Events and Message Catalog contains all valid notification event
definitions available in the notification subsystem. The following primary forms
make up this catalog:

NTE:SYS-Define NT Events

NTE:CFG-Notification Events

SYS:Notification Messages

NTE:SYS-Define NT Events form


Notification events are defined in the NTE:SYS-Define NT Events form and are
specific to a BMC Remedy ITSM module (Incident, Problem, Change, Request,
Purchase Requisition, Asset, and so on). Notification events are primarily
configured for internal support staff notification, which is indicated by the Yes flag
in the Support Staff Event field.
When the Support Staff Event field is set to Yes, a corresponding record in the
NTE:CFG-Notification Events form must specify the default preferences for

this notification event.


The notification is sent according to the system default preferences, unless you
have created your own entry for this event in NTE:CFG-Notification Events.

NOTE
User-defined events take precedence over system-defined events.
You can also use notification events for email notifications to customers who might
not have a login ID or access to the application. To use notification events this way,
set the Support Staff Event field to No.

WARNING
Remember that all customer notifications are sent by email. You cannot change this
setting without customization to the Notification Engine settings. If you install
patches or later versions of the BMC Remedy IT Service Management, back up
your work so that it is not overwritten by the installer. This warning applies to all
customizations that you make to the Notification Engine.

NOTE
Because Problem Management is a process internal to the support organization,
the Problem Management module has no customer notification events.

10

Notification Engine Guide

System Events and Message Catalog

NTE:CFG-Notification Events form


The NTE:CFG-Notification Events form stores all system-wide and userspecific preferences for predefined internal (support staff) notification events.
Preferences defined here include the notification method (email or alert), whether
a pager notification is sent, business hour usage, holiday usage, and whether the
message is a group or individual notification.
Additional application preferences are also available, such as including priority for
Incident Management and Problem Management, or Timing for a Change type
notification.

SYS:Notification Messages form


The SYS:Notification Messages form contains the notification text for each
event. The combination of Notification Message Tag, Locale, and Company fields
must be unique. The notification workflow uses the Notification Message Tag to
identify the specific message to be sent. You can associate each notification event
with several notification messages for different companies and locales.
The Email Message Body field contains literal text as well as substitution
parametersfor example, #Incident Number#. Standard filter workflow searches
for the substitution parameter and replaces it with the actual incident ticket
number.
This form also displays the Support Staff Event flag to indicate whether the
notification message is intended for customers or support staff. However, the
notification workflow does not use this setting to determine the notification
preferences to use when sending the notification. The actual filters supporting the
notification determine whether the notification preferences are hard-coded (for
example, always using email as the notification method, as with customer
notifications) or retrieved from the NTE:CFG-Notification Events form (for
example, use the system default or user-defined notification method specified for
the recipient, as with support staff notifications).
You can modify notification text, so you can change the standard messages
provided with the application or define different messages for specific companies.

NOTE
Do not modify the Mapping section of the notification message. The notification
system uses these mappings to identify what message to send, how to send the
message, and when it should send it. Your changes can break the workflow.
However, you can create a new notification message in this form, but workflow to
support the message must exist. Modifying the content of existing messages
involves configuration, but creating new messages (to be sent under conditions not
already defined by existing workflow) requires customization.

Chapter 1

BMC Remedy ITSM Notification Engine

11

BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00

In the message text fields, you can include field contents from the Source record
(such as HPD:Help Desk). Fields that are filled by selection from drop-down
menus are displayed in the message text enclosed in #. Notification workflow
translates these field variables into the actual field contents before sending the
notification message. Adding new fields not already in the drop-down menus
requires customization.

Notification system process control


The NTE:SYS-Process Control interface form receives notification event
requests from BMC Remedy ITSM. The NTE:SYS-Process Control interface form
processes all notification events, as shown in Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2: Notification events processes

NOTE
The NTE:SYS-Process Control form is the center of the Notification Engine; it is
what initiates a notification.
During an initial submission or update of a record in one of the BMC Remedy IT
modules, workflow creates a record in the NT:SYS-NT Process Control form.
This record is processed by the escalations listed in Table 1-1.
Table 1-1: NT:SYS-NT Process Control escalations

12

Escalation

Description

SYS:NPC:ProcessHeldNotifications

Processes notifications that are held


due to business hours and holiday
processing.

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotifications

Processes group notifications.

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotifications

Processes individual notifications.

Notification Engine Guide

Notification interface

When a new record is created in the NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form, filters
perform these tasks:

Verify the notification message exists in the SYS:Notification Messages form


and that the message record is enabled.

Retrieve data from the source form (if the notification was sent from an
association form).

Check business hours, business holidays, and notification preferences for


support staff notifications.

Process on-call group notifications when the On-Call Group Flag is enabled.

Process group notifications by searching the Group membership table for group
notifications.

Process individual notifications that are coming from the group notifications
processing above or that came in directly from an event.

Process messages by running translation workflow (that is, workflow that


replaces tokens within the message text).

If the notification is successfully processed, the NT:SYS-NT Process Control


record is deleted.

Notification interface
The NTE:Notifier form processes the formatted notification text and, based on
notification method, sends an alert, email, or page.
The NTE:Notifier form has workflow that performs a Run Process command to
send a page, create an email record in the AR System Email Messages form, or
create an alert in the Alert Events form. This form has workflow that is triggered
on Window Open to redirect the user to the appropriate record (for example,
incident, problem, change, and so on). For debugging purposes, you might need to
disable this workflow to make sure that the notification record is correct.
The NTE:NTS:DefaultMethod_200_NT filter executes when no method is specified
for the notification, and it uses the notification recipient's default notification
method.
If email is the notification method, the email message includes ARTask and URL
shortcuts to the record. The NTE:NTS:Email_200_SystemNT filter executes when
Email is the default method specified for the notification. To remove the ARTask
and URL, clear the check boxes in this filter.
External email notifications (sent by the NTE:NTS:Email_200_Customer-NT filter)
and email messages sent manually through the BMC Remedy ITSM 7.x Email
System (sent by the NTE:NTS:Email_200_Manual-NT filter) do not include
shortcuts.

There is a separate filter to process each notification method.

The NTE:Notifier record is deleted after the alert, email, or page is sent, and an
audit record is created.
Chapter 1

BMC Remedy ITSM Notification Engine

13

BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00

Notification audit
The NTE:Notifier Log form contains every notification (alert, email, and pager)
sent from the subsystem. Notification records are written to the log every time the
system sends a notification. These entries appear in the application audit logs.

NOTE
Manually archive or delete entries periodically.

NOTE
The Notification Text and Email Message Body fields were unlimited in length.
These fields are now limited to 3,964 bytes due to performance with Oracle
databases. The notification messages are still unlimited in length, but the audit log
truncates the values of these fields. If you are upgrading from 7.0.x, these records
will be truncated.
So if you need to retain the entire message, we recommend retaining these
messages on your email server.

Invoking the notification subsystem


Filters are triggered on certain application events. Filters populate data on the
source forms and then push data from the source forms to the NTE:SYS-NT
Process Control form for processing. One or more notification filters can trigger
a notification event. The contents of the Notification Message Tag field are passed
to the NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form, so it must be unique and must
correspond to a notification message in the SYS:Notification Messages form.
The notification filters perform the following actions:

Populate data on the source forms.

Push data from the source forms to the NTE:SYS-NT Process control form for
processing.

Set the Notification Message Tag and temp fields, and then create a record in the
NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form.

The Notification Message Tag is the unique identifier for each notification event
and message. After the Notification Process Control record is created, the
notification fields on the source form are cleared.

Step 1 The NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form is the center of the Notification Engine.

All notifications are pushed to this form first. Depending on which parameters are
included, it determines whether the notification is a group notification or an
individual notification. Calling applications pass this information to the NTE:SYSNT Process Control form. This information includes details such as the
application, the recipient of the notification, and information about the parent
record.
Step 2 Escalations are run to process the pending notification events.

The application uses out-of-the-box escalation pools 1, 2, and 3 to enable


multithreading processing for the records contained in the NTE:SYS-NT Process
Control form.

Chapter 1

BMC Remedy ITSM Notification Engine

15

BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00

NOTE
Escalation pools are enabled through the AR System Administration Console.
BMC Remedy IT Service Management does not set the pooling automatically, so
the AR System Administrator must configure the escalation pools before running
the notification process. If you do not properly configure the escalation pools, all
escalation workflow runs within escalation pool 1.
A single record created in the NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form is used for both
group and individual notifications. All group and individual notifications are
processed asynchronously.

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotifications runs every minute against the


NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form for group notifications. This escalation

runs within escalation pool 3.

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotifications runs every minute against the


NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form for individual notifications. This

escalation runs within escalation pool 2.

SYS:NPC:ProcessHeldNotifications runs every 11 minutes to process

records held for business hours. This escalation runs within escalation pool 1.
Step 3 Individual processing gets the user's notification preferences, ticket information,

and message from the Notification Messages catalog. Group processing expands
the group list to individuals, and then runs the individual process.
Step 4 The NTE:Notifier sends the notification using the appropriate method (email,
pager, or alert). If the notification is through email, NTE:Notifier workflow
creates a record in the AR System Email Messages form, which is processed by

the BMC Remedy Email Engine.

16

Notification Engine Guide

Notification workflow

Notification workflow
When a notification event is triggered by an application event, workflow performs
a series of checkpoints to determine whether the notification actually gets sent, as
shown in Figure 1-4. First, it looks at a person's notification preferences in the
CTM:People form to see whether the specific notification has been enabled or
disabled. If it has been disabled, the notification is not sent.

Next, if the notification has not been disabled for that user, the Notification Engine
then checks to see whether User or System Default events are enabled for the user.
User events have precedence over System Default. If a user event for that specific
notification event does not exist (or it has been disabled), workflow looks for the
System Default event. If a user event exists and is enabled, workflow looks at the
specific user notification criteria.
Finally, application events trigger notifications to be sent to groups or specific
individuals. Various notification events are installed with the applications in the
NTE:CFG Notification Events form. Messages are stored in the
SYS:Notification Messages form.

Additional notification forms


In addition to the primary notification forms, the Notification Engine has the
supporting forms listed in Table 1-2.
Table 1-2: Supporting notification forms
Form

Description

NTE:Manual
Notification

This display-only form is accessed from Incident or


Problem forms and enables users to send ad-hoc email
notifications. Entries are automatically deleted after they
are processed.
Note: This form is not used in 7.0.x. It is deprecated in the

7.6.00 release.
NTE:CFG-Country Code
Option

This form is accessible from the Application Administration


Console (Custom Configuration > Foundation >
Notification Engine > Country Code Option). It stores
country codes related to area codes for pager notifications.

NTE:CFG-Numeric
Pager Prefix

This form is accessible from the Application Administration


Console (Custom Configuration > Foundation >
Notification Engine > Numeric Pager Prefix). It stores
numeric identifiers related to application forms that are
used to prefix messages sent to numeric pagers.

NTE:CFG-Pager
Service Config

This form is accessible from the Application Administration


Console (Custom Configuration > Foundation >
Notification Engine > Pager Service). It stores pager
services information that can be used by BMC Remedy
ITSM. You must configure pager services before you can
select this as a notification method in the CTM:People
configuration form.

NTE:CFG-NT Events
NonSupport

This form is from previous versions of BMC Remedy for IT


Service Providers (ITSP) and is not used in BMC Remedy
ITSM 7.x.

Configuring notifications
Individual Notification preferences are configured on the CTM:People form for
each support person. Notification preferences vary by application or module, such
as BMC Remedy Asset Management and BMC Remedy Change Management, and
by event, such as asset scheduled maintenance. Default notification preferences
are predefined for each module and event. If the default setting does not meet your
needs, you can turn off a notification by setting Notification Availability to No.
You can set the notification language for each notification message.

NOTE
User notification preferences override system notification preferences.

Notification Engine Guide

Configuring notifications

Globally modifying system default settings


You can globally modify the system default settings by retrieving the record for the
Notification Event (for example, User) or the Notification Event Type of System
Default in the NTE:CFG-Notification Events form.

X To globally modify system default settings


1 Open the NTE:CFG-Notification Events form and perform a global search for

all records in the system.


2 To specify a default notification method for all users, select the appropriate value

from the Remedy Notification Mechanism menu (for example, Alert). If this value
is left blank, the Default Notification Mechanism specified on the users People
record is used.
3 To turn off group notifications (that is, send a notification only when an individual

assignee is specified), set the Group Notifications flag to No. This settings can be
overridden individually by queue managers so that they are the only users to
receive notifications when no individual assignee is specified.

The message text for predefined notifications is stored in the SYS:Notification
Messages form. Each message is uniquely identified by the combination of
Notification Message Tag and Locale.
You can modify the content of the fields listed in Table 1-3:
Table 1-3: Notification message text fields
Field

Description

Pager Message Alpha

Contains the text sent to an alphanumeric pager.

Notification Text

Contains the text sent to BMC Remedy Alert.

Email Subject Line

Contains the text included in the subject line of an email


notification.

Email Message Body

Contains the text included in the body of an email


notification.

Status

Controls whether notifications are sent:

Offline: Notifications not sent.


Enabled: Notifications are sent.

Define other settings as needed (for example, Proposed).

You can used field variables in the notification message text fields by enclosing
them in # . They are translated by workflow. Using field variables in notification
messages other than the default text requires customization to create the
corresponding translation workflow.
You can configure the notification text for different companies by creating a new
record and selecting the Company from the menu.

BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00

NOTE
You should not modify the fields within the Mapping section of this form. The
notification system uses these mappings to identify what message to send, how to
send the message, and when it should send it. Your changes can break the
workflow.

Configuring support group notifications


You can configure the system to send notifications to a support group email list,
instead of just to individuals within a group. Also, you can disable group
notifications by their support group.
Figure 1-5: Configuring support group notifications

The Notification Engine uses the same asynchronous process for both group and
individual notifications.

NOTE
For performance reasons, BMC recommends that you use the Group Email feature
if the support group has 25 or more members. For more information about
configuring support groups, see the BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00
Configuration Guide.

Configuring Notification Engine escalation


pools
To use escalation pools, configure the Escalation Max Threads count from the
default value of 1 to 3 to take advantage of the optimized out-of-the-box
Notification Engine escalation pooling.

20

Notification Engine Guide

Extending the Notification Engine escalation pools

X To configure Notification Engine escalation pools


1 From a browser or BMC Remedy User, open the AR System Administration

Console.
2 Click System > General > Server Information.
3 Click the Ports and Queues tab.
Figure 1-6: Configuring escalation pools

4 Click in the Max Threads cell, and then specify the number of escalation pools (for

example, 3).
You can change the value to a maximum of 6.
5 Click OK.

Extending the Notification Engine escalation


pools
The out-of-the-box Notification Engine uses three escalations (each within its own
escalation pool) to process the notification data within the NTE:SYS-Process
Control form. Escalation pool 2 processes individual notifications and escalation
pool 3 processes group notifications.

Chapter 1

BMC Remedy ITSM Notification Engine

21

BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00

The Notification Engine subsystem enables you to increase the number of


escalation pools for processing individual and group notifications.
Figure 1-7: Enabling multiple escalation pools to process individual and group
notifications

You can extend the escalation pools by using the round-robin algorithm that is in
the following two filters:

NTE:NPC:SetNonGroupEscalationPool_010_Set`!

NTE:NPC:SetGroupEscalationPool_010_Set`!

These filters are disabled by default, but you can enable and customize them to
define additional escalation pools.

NOTE
Enabling these filters is a customization of the Notification Engine subsystem. If
you install patches or later versions of BMC Remedy IT Service Management, back
up your work so that it is not overwritten by the installer.
To have two escalation pools to process individual notifications and three more
escalation pools to process Group notifications, you must edit the filters. The
following sections describe the workflow within these filters.

22

Notification Engine Guide

Extending the Notification Engine escalation pools

Multithreading filter workflow for


NTE:NPC:SetNonGroupEscalationPool_010_Set`!
To enable the proper sequence of the pools in the range between the Escalation
Pool Start Range and Escalation Pool End Range values, the Escalation Pool
Number field in the NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form is set by performing a
modulo operation on the entry ID. The Escalation Pool Number value is then used
as part of the qualification of the escalation, so that a particular escalation
processes only notification records that match the Escalation Pool Number value.
The modulo operation in the filter workflow finds the remainder of a (the
dividend) by n (the divisor). The operation is represented as a%n.
a

= the z1D Integer01 field, which is a sequential number ($LASTID$).

= the z1D_GROUPMOD field, which is set by subtracting the Escalation Pool


End Range from the Escalation Pool Start Range and adding 1.

As a result, the Escalation Pool Number = a%n + Escalation Pool Start Range.
Incrementing a by 1 for every new Notification Process Control record makes sure
that the Escalation Pool Number value follows a round-robin approach that starts
at the Escalation Pool Start Range value and ends with the Escalation Pool End
Range value. For example, if you set the non-group (individual) escalations to run
in escalation pools 2 and 3, the Escalation Pool Start Range is 2 and the Escalation
Pool End Range is 3. The Escalation Pool Number value for each Notification
Process Control record sequences between 2 and 3.
The NTE:NPC:SetNonGroupEscalationPool_010_Set`! filter uses the workflow
actions listed in Table 1-4:
Table 1-4: Workflow in NTE:NPC:SetNonGroupEscalationPool_010_Set`! filter

Multithreading filter workflow for


NTE:NPC:SetGroupEscalationPool_010_Set`!
The NTE:NPC:SetGroupEscalationPool_010_Set`! filter works much like the
NTE:NPC:SetNonGroupEscalationPool_010_Set`! filter, except that group
escalation pools run in a round-robin fashion between escalation pool 4 and
escalation pool 6.

Chapter 1

BMC Remedy ITSM Notification Engine

23

BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00

For example, if you set the group escalations to run in escalation pools 4 and 6, the
Escalation Pool Start Range value is 4 and the Escalation Pool End Range value is
6. The Escalation Pool Number value for each Notification Process Control record
sequences between 4 and 6.
The NTE:NPC:SetGroupEscalationPool_010_Set`! filter uses the workflow
actions listed in Table 1-5:

Setting up escalation workflow to process the multithreaded


individual and group notifications records
In addition to the filters, BMC Remedy IT Service Management provides escalation
workflow objects that you can enable for individual (non-group) and group
notifications. These escalations serve as examples when enabling the
multithreading filter workflow.
The following escalations process individual (non-group) notifications.

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotificationsPool2

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotificationsPool3

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotificationsPool4

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotificationsPool5

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotificationsPool6

The following escalations process group notifications.

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotificationsPool2

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotificationsPool3

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotificationsPool4

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotificationsPool5

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotificationsPool6

To continue the example of setting up two escalation pools to process individual


notification records and three escalation pools to process group notification
records, you must perform the following procedure to enable the escalation
workflow.

24

Notification Engine Guide

Extending the Notification Engine escalation pools

X To set up escalation workflow to process the multithreaded individual and


group notification records
1 Log in to your server with BMC Remedy Developer Studio.
2 Disable the following escalations:

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotifications

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotifications

3 Enable the following escalations (as shown in Figure 1-8).

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotificationsPool2

SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotificationsPool3

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotificationsPool4

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotificationsPool5

SYS:NPC:TriggerGroupNotificationsPool6

Figure 1-8: Enabling escalation in BMC Remedy Developer Studio

Figure 1-8 shows that the SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotificationsPool2


escalation processes only individual notification records in which the
EscalationPoolNumber is set to 2. In turn, the
SYS:NPC:TriggerNonGroupNotificationsPool3 escalation processes
individual notification records in which the EscalationPoolNumber is set to 3,
and so on.

Chapter 1

BMC Remedy ITSM Notification Engine

25

BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.00

The filter workflow in this example sets EscalationPoolNumber to 2, to 3, and


then back to 2, and so on, in a round-robin fashion when individual notification
records are created in the NTE:SYS-NT Process Control form. In the same way,
the filter workflow sets the EscalationPoolNumber to 4, to 5, to 6, and then back
to 4, and so on, when group notification records are created.
As a result, for every unique EscalationPoolNumber that is generated, you must
run the escalation workflow to process the notification records. BMC recommends
that you match the Escalation Pool Number within the escalation workflow to
the EscalationPoolNumber value in the records to simplify keeping track of the
escalation pools.

Disabling notifications
Because workflow for customer notifications differs from support notifications,
the procedure for disabling differs between the two.

Disabling customer notifications


When disabling customer notification events in the NTE:SYS-Define NT Events
form, you do not need to disable the corresponding messages in the
SYS:Notification Messages form. This is because each customer notification
includes the following filters:

The first filter checks whether the notification event is enabled.

If the first filter found the enabled notification event, the second filter starts the
notification process. Otherwise, it does nothing.

However, if you disable the associated messages in the SYS:Notification


Messages form, notification messages that are not being sent are easier to identify
because administrators have to look at only a single form.

Disabling support staff notifications


You can disable support staff notifications in the SYS:Notification Messages
form. There is no workflow associated with any status other than Enabled for all
configuration data. Any record with the Status not set to Enabled is considered to
be disabled, from a workflow perspective. You must decide how you want to use
the provided status values and how you maintain the configuration data.

26

Description

Proposed

Data is part of a planned change to the configuration data but is not


yet in use in the current environment. For example, a notification
message has been entered and is awaiting approval before you
enable it.

Enabled

Data is used in the current environment. For example, a


notification message is sent.

Offline

Data is not being used. For example, a notification message is not


enabled.

Additional configuration options


The following additional configuration options for Change Management and
Asset Management notifications are available from the Application
Administration Console.

The Change Management Rules form (Custom Configuration > Change


Management > Advanced Options > Rules) lets you configure the rules in which
a Change Manager and Change Assignee are notified, based on Change status.

NOTE
Out-of-the-box notifications to the Change Manager and Change Assignee are
configured only for the following change states: Request for Change, Planning In
Progress, Scheduled for Approval, Canceled, Rejected, and Completed.

The Asset Management Rules form (Custom Configuration > Asset


Management > Advanced Options > Rules) lets you configure CI notifications
so that when a CI's status is set to a particular value, the person who uses,
manages, or supports the CI is notified.
