Versioning management packs

Management pack versioning can be challenging because it has to be done manually, and most users of Service Manager seem uninterested in doing this. The key to controlling the version numbers of management packs is defining what each segment of the version number means to your organization and then staying consistent with this. You can use industry standards for this purpose, but management packs are not source code, so coming up with your own definitions that are specific to Service Manager is usually a better option. A typical versioning model might look like this:

1. Major Follows version number of the Service Manager environment (7 for 2010 and 2012)

2. Minor Major changes (not really relevant since this number won’t change much for most clients)

3. Build Changes (add/remove functionality)

4. Revision Bug fixes

You can change the version of the management pack in the authoring console or by directly editing the XML. You will find <Version> in the management pack in the section named Identity as follows:

<Identity> <ID>ServiceManager.IncidentAssignmentChanges.Notification</ID> <Version>7.0.5244.0</Version> </Identity>
