Example: Change Specification in the Verified Status

In this example, CACF verified a change specification and set the status to Verified. This change specification contained an initial status such as Verification Pending.

The following steps describe the lifecycle of this change specification:

  1. A Change Order requests an update to the Serial Number (serial_number) attribute of a CI.
  2. Create a change specification for the Serial Number managed attribute and enter 12345 as the planned value.
  3. The Change Order moves to a managed state so that Change Verification is active.

    For example, Verification in Progress.

  4. The change specification waits for a discovery tool to discover CI details and imports the updated Serial Number values to the CMDB.
  5. The discovery tool exports the value to the CMDB and matches the value that you specified in the change specifications.
  6. CACF sets the status to Verified.

    Note: If the CI update to the attribute does not match the planned value, CACF considers the update as a variance and sets the status to Failed Verification.
