User to close incident

Hi,



For ages this issue has plagued me. How can you get a user to close an incident? I've searched everywhere and no-one (to my surprise) has mention of it anywhere yet I thought it would be something quite common.



I've tried simple tasks that they can click:



When all of these are true:

Status is equal to "resolved"



Edit Incident: WORKITEM(workitem_number)



Set Comment to "User confirmed this incident is resolved".

OR I tried:

Set Status to "Closed".



I've tried SO many variations and I even tried it using URL with parameters and always get the same error.



Is what I'm attempting possible or is it a limitation in the Helpdesk solution?



ERROR

There is no Proposed data to access.



Exception - System.Data.VersionNotFoundException: There is no Proposed data to access.

at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.LateBinding.LateGet(Object o, Type objType, String name, Object[] args, String[] paramnames, Boolean[] CopyBack)

at ASP.ConsoleMyHDEditItem_ascx.Validate(TemplateAction Action, String ControlID, String CurrentPageID)

at Altiris.AppWeaver.TemplateControl.DoValidateWork(TemplateAction Action, String ControlID, String CurrentPageID)




Thanks in advance for any help. This has been driving me bonkers!

I managed to find an article on https://kb.altiris.com (KB41532) that shows how to do this.



My only problem now is that when I do it I get the response on the screen like this (below) which isn't very meaningful for users.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<string>2313</string>




2313 was the incident I wanted to test against and it successfully closes.



Does anyone know what this response is and how I can customise it?



Thanks

Dean

That's just the response of the webservice. What you can do is create a new aspx page which closes the incident and catches the responses of the webservice.

Need help

I am having the same issue with the Web service response being returned to the user.

Can you provide more infomation on where the new aspx page would need to be created and how it can catch the response of the webservice? I am not looking for anything fancy - just a notice that the incident has successfully been re-opened.

I am a bit of a aspx newbie - but with a little direction - think I can figure it out.

Thanks.

Hi,



Its working for the users with Worker Rights, but not for Altiris Guest or general contacts.



It gives an error of Action Cancelled. What rights are required to achieve this.





Regards,

Rahiz

Workaround?

What we did is using html without the "commit" parameter.
So what happens is the contact will see his incident. He/she hHas to open it and close it again.
That will do all actions we send with the url.
Not a perfect solution, but it works.
Contacts also have the possibility to add some comment like : Great Job done.." At least we try to educate them to do so ;-)
