No. Your existing SDM tickets will remain accessible until June 2021 when SDM is expected to be decommissioned.

However, you will not be able to communicate with the Affected End User using Manual Notify from SDM tickets once you have migrated to TeamDynamix.

Can I export tickets from SDM and keep them for reference?

Yes, you can export tickets to PDF format:

Run a query (Search > Requests) to pull a list of the tickets you want to export

The report will appear in a new window. You can print it to a PDF
