Restriction: To define or modify
SLAs,
you must have the following:
- "Managed Administrator" or "Regular User" product access type
- "Remote Administration" system privilege
- Privileges to edit projects for which
SLAs
are defined
- Enabler licenses for
Serena Service Manager
(SSM)
or
Serena Request Center
(SRC).
To enable
SLAs,
either the
SSM
or
SRC
enabler license must be procured and installed.
Service Level Agreements
(SLAs)
are used to measure how well an organization responds to requests for service
compared to its published metrics. You define
SLAs
at the project level of an application.
The
SLAs page lists the
SLAs
that have been defined for the project. It includes the name, description,
status, and effective date of each
SLA.
To access this page, in
SBM Application Administrator,
click the
SLAs tab on the project page.
Note:
- If you change settings for an active
SLA,
both the old and new version of the
SLA
are stored. New items will use the new settings, but existing items will
continue to use the original settings.
- If an item is updated in a way that makes the condition defining
the
SLA
false, the
SLA
will no longer be in effect. For example, suppose a high-priority item is being
monitored by an
SLA
that defines that high-priority items should be resolved within three business
days. If someone changes the priority to "medium," the
SLA
will no longer monitor that item.
Important: In the
SBM User Workspace,
SLA
reports and the
SLA
widget only show data if projects have
SLAs
defined for them, and if one or more service requests have been associated with
those projects in
Serena Request Center.
