I have been fighting this all day, I’m sure it is something simple but
I’m completely missing it.
I had approvals setup with one person being the approver using the
following scrip and template on my General queue:
Description: Create Approval
Condition: On Create
Action: Create Tickets
Template: Approvals
Stage: TransactionCreate
Name: Approvals
Description: Template used for requesting approvals
Content:
===Create-Ticket: Approval
Depended-On-By: TOP
Queue: ___Approvals
Type: approval
Owner:
Content: Someone has created a ticket. you should review and approve
it, so work can begin.
ENDOFCONTENT
And all was well. I was receiving these emails as the “needs to be
approved” notices:
Greetings,
There is a new item pending your approval: "CR Approval for: 9 -
This is a test ticket 5",
a summary of which appears below.
Please visit http://localhost/rt/Approvals/Display.html?id=10
to approve or reject this ticket, or
http://localhost/rt/Approvals/ to
batch-process all your pending approvals.
Someone has created a ticket. you should review and approve it,
so they can finish their work
But then the fun began. I needed to it up so multiple people can approve
a ticket but only one of them has to. So I followed the instructions at
the bottom on ApprovalCreation - Request Tracker Wiki and
changed my General queue’s template to be:
Name: Approvals
Description: Template used for requesting approvals
Content:
===Create-Ticket: Approval
Depended-On-By: TOP
Queue: ___Approvals
Type: approval
AdminCC: {
my $group_name = ‘Group Name’;
my $groups = RT::Groups->new( $RT::SystemUser );
$groups->LimitToUserDefinedGroups();
$groups->Limit(
‘FIELD’ => ‘Name’,
‘OPERATOR’ => ‘=’,
‘VALUE’ => $group_name );
$groups->First->Id;
}
Content: Someone has created a ticket. you should review and approve
it, so work can begin.
ENDOFCONTENT
Now I get the emails that looks like this:
Mon Jun 01 16:51:24 2009: Request 35 was acted upon.
Transaction: Ticket created by RT_System
Queue: ___Approvals
Owner: Nobody
Requestors:
Status: new
Ticket <URL:
http://rt.logicalsi.com/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=35 >
Someone has created a ticket. you should review and approve
it, so work can begin.
I realize the “new” emails I’m getting are from my template in the
General queue and I could just copy the template from the ___Approvals
queue over and add the AdminCC part. But I’m curious as to why adding
the AdminCC part to my template completely changed the systems
operation.
Thanks,
Jeremy
Ok, I removed the AdminCC and put the Owner: back in the template for
the General queue, just to ensure I wasn’t loosing my mind. I get both
“needs approval” notifications, which I didn’t realize before.
So what I want to happen is this, I want to be able to have multiple
users with the ability to approve tickets; but I only want the ticket to
require one of them. And I want the better looking default notification
emails.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I’m trying to learn the system and
go live at the same time, which isn’t a good combination.
Thanks in advance,

Two steps forward, one step back. Ok, I have my initial problem of the
approvers not receiving the ‘New Pending Approval’ email from the
template in the ___Approvals queue resolved. I fixed it with change to
the code:
— rt-3.8.3/lib/RT/Approval/Rule/NewPending.pm.orig 2009-05-27
11:50:50.000000000 -0400
+++ rt-3.8.3/lib/RT/Approval/Rule/NewPending.pm 2009-06-02
11:17:21.000000000 -0400
@@ -76,6 +76,7 @@
# first txn entry of the approval ticket
local $self->{TransactionObj} = $to;
$self->RunScripAction(‘Notify Owner’, ‘New Pending Approval’, @_);
Since the template says “Notify Owners and AdminCcs of new items pending
their approval” that this is a bug that was over looked. However, I
still have the second problem, which I understand better now.
Anytime an approval ticket is created using the scrip and template in my
General queue, the approvers get two emails. One of which is the ‘New
Pending Approval’ email from the default template in the ___Approvals
queue, and the other is the ‘Global: On Create Notify AdminCcs with
template Transaction’ script. I would rather not delete a scrip
installed as part of RT. It could make things confusing down the road as
our implementation evolves. However, our approvers are complaining about
getting both emails, and see as they are the bosses, they get what they
want. Is there another way around this issue or is simply removing that
global scrip my best path?
Thanks,
