Issue/Introduction
Closed status is not synchronized between Service Desk Manager and Service Catalog. When the Service Desk ticket associated to a Service Catalog request is closed, the status it is not updated on the Catalog request. jstd.log shows: ERROR CatalogServiceProcessor 119 Error synching status to Catalog. Cannot find user:ServiceDesk
Cause
ServiceDesk userid is used for the integration but is duplicated in ca_contact table.
Environment
Service Catalog 14.1 and later Service Desk Manager 14.1 and later Service Management 14.1 and later
Resolution
The duplicate userid's may exist only when 1 is active and the other is inactive. Identify and rename the duplicated userid's for ServiceDesk. This can be done from: 1) Database level by running: select userid, count(*) from ca_contact where userid like '%ServiceDesk%' group by userid having count(*) > 1 2) CA Service Desk Manager > Security and Role Management > Contacts Search for active and inactive users > Locate the duplicate userid's for ServiceDesk.
3) Once the duplicates are identified, rename the inactive ServiceDesk userid and this will solve the issue.
