  • 1.  Is it possible to manually trigger Auto Close for Request/Incident/Problem tickets

    Is there a way to manually trigger Auto Close for Request/Incident/Problem tickets?

    Currently investigate a handful of tickets wherein we see Auto Close in the logs but the tickets were never Closed.
    We have created a few copy of the affected tickets and Auto Close successfully triggered, compared them on the DB level as well.
    Unfortunately, we no longer have the logs for these tickets to check for clues.

    So we were wondering if we can trigger Auto Close manually to generate a new log and possible a clue on what the issue is.

    Hi Ruben,

    By design, when Auto-Close is defined it is triggered when the ticket is set to Resolved state.

    Can you give us more detailed information, i.e. what are the business requirements and/or logic in wanting to trigger Auto-Close manually?

    Agreed.

    We need to know what is expected, otherwise, why not just manually set the Status to "Resolved" or to "Closed?"

    Not sure why but the details were gone when I saved this discussion. I have updated and added the details.

    Ruben.........

    Auto close creates events that are set to trigger based on the auto close settings.

    These events are stored in the ANIMATOR table.

    As far as I know, there is no way to manually kick off the auto close events.

    We would need to investigate in the first place why certain tickets are not being auto closed and for that we would need to take a look at the STDLOGs when the issue occurs.

    For the tickets where auto close did not take place, check if the resolved date field is populated or not. Obviously this talks to how those tickets were resolved in the first place.

    I uploaded an old document, that is still very much relevant to help troubleshoot....
