Based on the configuration of
a lifecycle, you might have to manually change the state of an asset.
Before you begin
You must have the appropriate permissions
to edit an asset to manually change the state of an asset. In addition
a number of conditions, for example, a grade of 'pass' on
all policies, might have to be met before an asset can change states.
To modify the overall lifecycle, you must be a community administrator.
Procedure
- Log in to the IBM® Rational® Asset Manager web
client.
- In the Assets
to Review section, click the name of the asset to review. The General Details page for the asset
opens. If there are instructions for completing the review, they are
provided on the Instructions page. You can see
the details about the current state of the asset lifecycle on the State
Summary page. The Policy Results column on the State
Summary page displays the complete history of every time
when a policy ran on the asset for the current state.
- In the Assets to Manage section,
click the name of the asset. The General Details
page for the asset opens.
- From the Actions list
on the upper-left side of the screen, select the transition. Depending
on the complexity of the lifecycle, you will have one or more transitions
to choose from.
- After you select the
transition, click Apply.
- If any conditions for the transition are not met, you will
see a warning. Correct any issues and repeat steps 4 through 5.
Results
Depending on how the lifecycle is
configured, multiple policies might run on an asset when it leaves
one state or enters a different state. When the asset is in a different
state, your permissions for that asset might be different.
