Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to directly access a CA Service Desk (CA SDM) ticket's (Request and/or Change) specific WF tasks via a URL?   

Environment

CA Service Desk Manager 17.3 and 17.4

Resolution

The URL you would use to include a link to a workflow task is:

http://<ServiceDeskHost>:<ServiceDeskPort>/CAisd/pdmweb.exe?OP=SEARCH+FACTORY=wf+SKIPLIST=1+QBE.EQ.id=<WorkflowtaskPersid>

Each task for each change order will have a unique persid, so you will need to query the database to find this out.  Workflows are all listed in the "wf" table, or "Workflow_Task" if you're using the PDM_EXTRACT utility.
