Associating BCRs with Application Releases 

When planning application releases, you can associate business change requests with them, which represent customer or business unit change requests that affect specific application releases. They are typically associated with tickets from help desk or incident management systems such as Serena Service Manager or other SBM solutions.

Serena Release Manager identifies and lists the business change requests based on the BCR provider information configured for your system. See the Serena Release Manager Installation and Configuration Guide for details.
