Apply a Response Plan

You apply a response plan to a release in the Releases (SP) application. When you apply a response plan, you ensure predictable and repeatable responses to similar releases.

A response plan can specify the response actions and notifications that are performed for the release. It also can assign an owner and vendor and apply a job plan to the release.

Prerequisites

To apply a response plan to a release:

  1. In the Releases (SP) application, display the record to which you want to apply a response plan.

  2. From the Select Action menu, select Apply Response Plan. The response plan is applied, overwriting an existing response plan if one exists on the release. The release fields are updated with data from the associated field in the applied response plan. The actions and notifications specified in the response plan are carried out.

    The response plan does not overwrite job plan data that exists in the release. If the release contains a job plan or a work plan, or if the job plan on the response plan is invalid for the release, either the response plan is applied without the job plan, or the entire response plan is not applied. This is determined by the setting in the Stop Response Plan if Job Plan or Ticket Template can not be applied field on the response plan.

  3. Click Save Record . The identifier of the response plan is visible in the Response Plan field on the main tab. You can view a history response plans that have been added to the release.
