Review the Change Specifications List

A Change Order with an RFC status wants to change the value of the Memory Installed (phys_mem) attribute in a CI named server1. The Change Manager sets the verification status of the Change Specification to Manual Verification will be required. The Change Manager can view the Change Specification in CA SDM.

Follow these steps:

1. The Change Manager moves the Change Order from RFC to Verification in Progress.

   All the change specifications with Manual Verification become Manual Verification Active.

2. From the Change Order, select the Change Specifications tab from the Configuration Management tab.

   The tab highlights all change specifications in red to indicate that manual verification is required.

   Note: You can also view change specifications from the Administration tab when you click CA CMDB, Configuration Audit, Change Specifications. Additionally, view change specifications from a CI after you select the Change Specifications tab from the Related Tickets tab.

3. Search for change specifications with requires manual verification as the Verify Status.

   For example, change specifications of Change Order 21 contain this status.

4. Research the appropriate value for the Memory Installed attribute for the server1 CI.

   Note: Change specifications that failed verification also display in red to help show change specifications that require further attention.
