How the model is organised

Patch identity and execution

Patch catalog identifies the release; patch attempts connects it to Assets and records the outcome.

Service planning

Services holds the service context; Changes records risk, window, rollback plan and decision.

Service response

Incidents points to the affected Service and Asset; incident updates adds dated response; Problems carries longer cause investigation.

Intake and people

Service requests links requesters to Services, integration receipts records event intake, and People links staff to Users.

Keys and references

Keep asset tag and patch ID stable when importing active records. Each attempt must reference one Asset and one patch catalog entry. Each Asset references a Service. A Change references a Service, while an Incident references both Service and Asset. Compare change plans and requests with attempt outcomes by service and asset. Review event receipts by provider and external event ID as a separate intake record.

Migration order

  1. Bring in Users and People so ownership and authorship can be assigned.
  2. Add Services and their owners, then Assets with the correct service links.
  3. Add patch catalog releases and check their product, version and severity.
  4. Bring in open Changes and service requests, then asset-specific patch attempts.
  5. Bring in Incidents, incident updates, Problems and integration receipts with their source identifiers.
