How the model is organised

Incident response

Incidents link to Services, Assets and People through assignment; incident updates retain dated author contributions.

Store context

Register outages and store trading windows each reference the incident they describe.

Planned and requested work

Changes and service requests link to Services; requests also link to their Requester in People.

Reference and follow-up

Services link to an Owner in People; Assets link to Services; Problems link to Services and an Owner; integration receipts stand as provider event records.

Keys and references

Use the record references rather than matching only free-text descriptions. An incident’s Service and Asset are separate selections. Register outages.Incident and store trading windows.operational record both point to Incidents, while the two capture records have their own store code values. People.User connects a person record to Users. Integration receipts.external event ID identifies the provider event for deduplication.

Migration order

  1. Load Users and People so ownership and requesters can be selected.
  2. Load Services, then Assets with their service links and locations.
  3. Load Incidents, service requests, Changes and Problems against the reference records.
  4. Load incident updates, register outages and store trading windows against their incidents.
  5. Load integration receipts with their provider event IDs and processing states.
