      Dear Martijn,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm currently spending some time at this.

It seems to me that a custom ticket event handler can't be used.  Suppose I
have a field "Time To Intervention" and there needs to be a time based
escalation. Is it possible to do time based escalations on dynamic fields
using a custom ticket event handler ? I have to do some calculations and
look at the calendars.

That's why I thought using a generic agent to run every few minutes and
look at all open tickets should be the way to go. Maybe do it a bit smarter
by only looking at open tickets which fullfull some criteria such as not
escalating yet.

Thanks!,

With kind regards,
Roald

Hi,
I'm new to OTRS development.
Requirements in a nutshell:
* set custom fields for SLA's
* calculate whether a ticket escalates based on these custom fields (do
some custom calculations)
* send notifications to agents based on these escalations
* there are also other requirements but most can be solved without
development
Idea on how to approach this:
* xml file in /opt/otrs/Kernel/Config/Files which uses SLAPreferences
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

    <ConfigItem Name="SLAPreferences###010-TTI" Required="0" Valid="1">
        <Description Translatable="1">Time To Intervention.</Description>
        <Group>Ticket</Group>
        <SubGroup>Frontend::SLA::Preferences</SubGroup>
        <Setting>
            <Hash>
                <Item
Key="Module">Kernel::Output::HTML::SLAPreferencesGeneric</Item>
                <Item Key="Label">label for dynamic field</Item>
                <Item Key="Desc">description.</Item>
                <Item Key="Block">Input</Item>
                <Item Key="PrefKey">dynamicfield</Item>
            </Hash>
        </Setting>
    </ConfigItem>
    ........

* write a custom module with a job that should be run by Generic Agent
to do the rest. Maybe split it in two modules.
Questions:
* Is my approach the most straightforward and suitable one ?
Sounds pretty straightforward. I think you might not need a GA job, but
could do with a custom ticket event handler like
Kernel::System::Ticket::Event::TicketEscalationIndex instead.
...
* How do I calculate using the calendars ? For example hours outside
business hours don't count for one specific calendar. While there is
also a 24/7 calendar.
I'd recommend to tailor the calendars just as you need. For 24/7 you can
have a calendar that has everything marked, for the other one just
define all non-business hours as business hours.
Regarding the question from your other mail: with the custom event
handler you can also set a dynamic field.
Good luck!
Best regards, mg

Dear OTRS developers,
as you might have heard, OTRS 4 is now released and development for OTRS
5 will start soon.
Do you plan to make substantial contributions to it? If that is the
case, I want to offer you to plan and coordinate this together, to make
sure right from the planning period that your contributions can find
their way into OTRS 5.
Please just let me know via reply on this list.
Thanks and best regards, Martin
