A co-worker of mine ran into an interesting issue and we will be reporting
it to BMC as a possible bug but I wanted to see if anyone on the list has
run into this.

The client wants customized notification messages for Incident, Change and
Problem on a per company (tenancy) basis. Upon researching my co-worker
found the filters that create the notifications for Change and Problem don't
pass the company name, and thus only the -General- company notifications
will fire and notifications can't be customized on a per-tenant basis
without modifying OOB workflow. This isn't the case for Incident, though.
Below is a snippet from him:

CHG:CRQ:NotificationGenerator_899_ModifyNotificationProcessControl`!
PBM:PBI:NotificationGenerator_899_PNPC`!
HPD:INC:NotificationGenerator_899_PNPC`!
 
You can see that only the HPD one has Company included.  Therefore, when
NTE:NPC:ChkNotificationMsgExist_015 on NTE:SYS-NT Process Control does the
set fields from SYS:Notification Messages where (( 'Company' = $Company$) OR
( 'Company' =  "- Global -" )) AND ( 'Notification Message Tag' =
$Notification Message Tag$) AND ( 'Status' =
"Enabled")
it fails (or selects - Global -).

You can see it here as well:
Filter CHG:CSG:NewApprovalNotification-ParseApprovers-NotifySupport`! 
You can see in the push fields action that it does not push the Company
field to "NTE:NT-Process Control", therefore, when the filters on that form
fire looking for a message in the SYS:Notification Messages form where
Company = Company or Company = - General -, it finds only the general
message.  If the client has all general notifications disabled, then no
message is found at all.

Anyone run into this before?
