Cause1. This happens from the out of the box business rule Post Outage to News - https://<instance_name>.service-now.com/sys_script.do?sys_id=f24bdb48c0a8011b00feb66aaf974ac6 2. This business rule is a part of "Contract Management" (com.snc.contract_management) plugin. 3.

If this business rule exists in your instance, open a test cmdb_ci_service record with business criticality = 1 - most critical 2. Change its operational status to Retired / Non-Operational / Repair in Progress 3. Click Update 4. Go to https://<instance_name>.service-now.com/kb_knowledge_list.do and verify that an article is created for that business service.ResolutionTo stop creating these articles automatically, you may choose to deactivate this BR.
