Subject: Re: Adding an escalation target in an SLT

Chris,
You got the right idea. Add a message. Then add a "set tag" filter to
cause notify like the ones at and above order 800 on Incident/Change
forms. 

These filters would look for a flag set via a set field action on your
milestone's action and on detecting the flag trigger the notification of
new message.

You do not want to do a direct notify action on this filter. Do what the
"set tag" filters do, which is set the notification message tag and
other fields and then invoke a guide. See example below.

I used the "z1D Action" field to send the flag, the same one used by out
of box templates,  and another custom field to send some extra info.

Here's description of one of the filters I created.
It's rather complex because the second custom field is used to pass
extra info from milestone's action to handle priority based
notification, instead of hard coding it in the filter. So run if is more
complex, but you can simplify it if you want and simply use the first
flag 'z1D Action', not the second field:

Filter Name:
XYZ:HPD:INC:NTOfSLA-880---at 100% of resolution sla, set tag for asg
owner mgr

Exec Order: 880

Run If:
 ( 'TR.z1D Action' =
"XYZ_SLA:AT_100%_OF_RESOLUTION_TARGET" ) AND  ( 'Owner Group ID' !=
$NULL$ ) AND  (
    ( 'Priority' = "Low" AND  'zTmp SLA Notification Detail Passed By
SLA Action XYZ' LIKE  "%{Low
Recipient: Assigned Grp Mgr}%" )
  OR 
    ( 'Priority' = "Medium" AND  'zTmp SLA Notification Detail Passed By
SLA Action XYZ' LIKE "%{Med Recipient: Assigned Grp Mgr}%" )
  OR 
    ( 'Priority' = "High" AND  'zTmp SLA Notification Detail Passed By
SLA Action XYZ' LIKE  "%{Hi
Recipient: Assigned Grp Mgr}%" )
  OR 
    ( 'Priority' = "Critical" AND  'zTmp SLA Notification Detail Passed
By SLA Action XYZ' LIKE "%{Crit Recipient: Assigned Grp Mgr}%" )
 )


Set Fields
 From Server: CURRENT SERVER
 From Form: CURRENT TRANSACTION
 Fields:        

'z1D NT Functional Role' = "Incident Manager"
'z1D NT Internet Email' = $NULL$
'z1D NT On Call Group Flag' = "No"
'z1D NT Pager Message Numeric' = $Incident Number$ 'z1D NT Remedy Login
ID' = $NULL$ 'z1D NT Support Group ID' = $Owner Group ID$ 'z1D NT
Support Group Shift ID' = $Assigned Group Shift ID$ 'z1D Notification
Message Tag' = "XYZ:HPD-INC-SLA-At 100% of Resolution Target. Notify
Owner Group Manager"

Call Guide
 Guide Name: HPD:INC:NotificationGenerator

Add the new message on form "SYS:Notification Messages" form.

And lastly, but not the least, your milestone's action will set one or
both fields when it's necessary to send the notification, to trigger the
whole sequence of events...which will end with the notify and a log of
the notification nicely being added to the ticket's log.

There are a number of caveats I faced.
1. Following fields are not set by out of box filters, so these fields
values, if referenced on notification messages, appear empty:
'z1D_PriorityAlias',
'z1D_ServiceTypeAlias' 
'z1D_StatusAlias'

I added a fitler to set them.

2.There's a filter that skips a whole bunch of filters when milestone's
action's set field causes modify operation; you need to make sure your
action causes the same thing.

3.There's a bug while defining milestone's actions. If you use action
from an action template, and later change your mind and "unlink" the
action and modify the action further, SLM finds it hard to forget action
is not tied to the template any more. On rebuilding the service target,
the rebuild still gives you filters that do the old action, not the
updated one.
May not be an issue for you.

HTH.
