Updating Change Management Tickets

Use this procedure to update a CM ticket. Information in a CM ticket is often revised during the life cycle of the CM ticket. Among other changes to a CM ticket, you can update the status for a CM ticket and log comments in your CM ticket to track its progress, add or delete CIs from a CM ticket, assign the CM ticket to an individual or group who will implement the change, schedule a CM ticket for implementation, and add attachments to the CM ticket.

Note:

Users with the appropriate privileges can select a CM ticket to update. When you select a CM ticket to update, Oracle Advanced Support Platform displays actions that you can perform on the CM ticket such as submit, approve, schedule and cancel.

Some actions, such as approval, are restricted to specific user authorizations
