How to disable auto closing the Service Desk ticket when alarm clears in Spectrum

Environment

Release: Any
Component: SPCINT

Resolution

To disable or prevent the auto ticket closure in Service Desk we need to follow below steps:

1. Shutdown the Spectrum Tomcat Service
   
   
2. Navigate to $SPECROOT/custom/svdsk/config
   
   
3. Edit service-desk-config.xml and comment out the Service Desk Clear Action:
   
   

    Before commenting <handler-action>  <action-tag>service-desk-clear</action-tag>  <action-class>com.aprisma.spectrum.app.sd.handler.ServiceDeskClearAction</action-class>  </handler-action> 

     After commenting it should appear as below 

     <!--<handler-action>  <action-tag>service-desk-clear</action-tag>  <action-class>com.aprisma.spectrum.app.sd.handler.ServiceDeskClearAction</action-class>  </handler-action>    -->

4. Save and close the file
   
   
5. Start the Spectrum Tomcat Service

Spectrum admins should note this change, why and how it was done for future reference.
