  • Configuring how long to keep your SCSM data
  • Configuring the Incident Management global settings
  • Configuring the Problem Management global settings
  • Configuring the Service Requests, Activity, Release, Knowledge, and Change Management global settings

Introduction

The Microsoft System Center Service Manager (SCSM) console is where you will configure and manage typical settings and activities associated with the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) and Microsoft Management Framework (MOF) processes implemented by the product. This chapter will provide steps for the global settings and some basic activities you may want to perform, before delving into the configuration and management of the supported product processes.

The settings addressed by this chapter have a significant impact on the behavior of Work Items and Configuration Items. In some cases, there is no retrospective application of the settings to existing items. The authors recommend you review and apply the settings in this chapter as a first step in the full configuration of your environment, after installation of the product.

This recipe provides the steps required to configure how long SCSM retains the data presented in the console. We will also provide steps on how long to retain data for historical use.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
