You can change the status of configuration item records
to suit your business needs.
You use the Change Status action to change
the status of configuration items. A configuration item can have these
statuses:
- Not ready - When you create a configuration item, it has a status
of not ready.
- Operating - This status indicates that the configuration item
is currently being used.
- Decommissioned - Configuration items that have been decommissioned
cannot be used in new records. You can access a decommissioned configuration
item only in the Configuration Items application. Decommissioned configuration
items are not displayed in Select Value windows.
You configure the list of applicable statuses for a configuration
item in the CI Lifecycle application.
