TechMagic is designed to provide engineers with a license free way of viewing incidents, work orders, purchase requests, problems and change requests assigned to themselves or a member of a group they belong to held in the BMC Service Desk Express database.
The application has been specifically designed not to require any changes to the structure or even the data held within the SDE database. As such, it is accepted that this application could be improved, for example, by using stored procedures to obtain the data. However, this would increase the complexity of the application and would require the installation of said stored procedures in the SDE database.
The application will work in both the default SQL authentication and the Windows authentication configurations. In the case of the Windows authentication configuration, the application cross references the WINUSERID field of the Support Staff (_PERSONNEL_) table for a valid user account. This means that this field must be populated with the DomainUserName of the support staff member in this configuration.
