Hi Sapna,

The bad news is that there is no workflow action that will accomplish this
for you. You could potentially try to use a SQL update (in a Direct SQL
action) to directly update the Remedy data dictionary, which would look
something like this:

UPDATE escalation
SET enable = 0
WHERE name = 'The Escalation Name'

But I'd recommend against this for two reasons.  First, any running AR
servers would not notice the change until they reload their data dictionary
caches.

Second, doing this *might* cause the escalation to become invalid in that
it would no longer match the checksum (in the safeGuard column of the
escalation table).  I haven't checked this and don't know offhand if the
"enable" is part of that checksum.

The only way I can think of would be to write a small API program that
performs the action. This would immediately affect the AR server on which
it's run, but it would not propagate to any other servers until they reload
their caches (I don't know much about server groups...would other servers
in the group notice such changes and automatically reload?).

I hope this helps.
