There is indeed a tool that will allow you to archive ITSM data in chains
to either archive forms or external files.
The problem with the OOTB Archive solution is that each form is considered
as an individual form. The flaw makes archiving a complete tree of records
difficult.

Actually you can ...
See if you have the Configuration ARDBC form. That should be a Vendor form

Hi,
You can do it with the API like LJ suggested, with the driver program
if you just want to script, or in a program of your own.
If you open ar.h on your server, you can see all the server settings
you can change :
[...]
#define AR_SERVER_INFO_DISABLE_ESCALATIONS 143 /* int - 0 - enabled
Sorry the last value to be entered is 1 of course, to disable the escalations.

We are in the process of upgrade 7.1 to 7.604 with all the ITSM apps and
some minor customizations.
There are a few paths we are trying:

outlined
Hi,
Not sure if this is going to help, but you may want to try to turn on SQL
logging before trying to start the server again.
To do that, you need to add/update the following parameter in your ar.conf file
Debug-mode: 1
This should turn on SQL logging and create log file containing all SQL
I was figuring there was a way, but despite looking, didn't see it, thanks :)

That is odd. If I look at the AR System 7.6.04 Compatibility Matrix, it

These are the steps we typically take, but for major version upgrades 5x to

You may want to think about the SLA running on the initial source of the ticket

the SLA times would be identical and alerts would only come from the system
