I just checked mine too.. no modifications or customizations done on this 
system here as its a vanilla install used for demonstrations etc to management..
 
The condition is
 
( 'Status' = "Resolved") AND ( 'Last Resolved Date' < ($TIMESTAMP$ - 1296000))
 
We are on Patch 007 as well of the ITSM applications..
 
Cheers

Subject: Incident Management bug worth noting

** 
If you are using IM 7.03 (and I presume all of the versions) there is a 
bug/inefficiency worth fixing that I stumbled across - especially if you are 
using auditing.
 
I reported this to BMC already - here's the write-up I sent them:
 
In Incident Management 7.03 there is an escalation named:

HPD:INC:AutoCloseResolved (Interval, 1 day)

This qualification auto-closes any Incident that is Resolved.  However, it is 
also updating EVERY incident that is already closed because the "Run if" 
qualification for this escalation is:

'Last Resolved Date' < ($TIMESTAMP$ - 1296000)

This is causing server slow downs when it runs.  This problem is MUCH worse if 
you have auditing turned on for the HPD:Help Desk form and you are auditing the 
'Status' field.  You get a new record every day for each already closed record 
in the HPD:Help Desk form that are older than the qualification.

On our system for instance there are approximately 70,000  closed records old 
enough to qualify.  Each day all of those records are have their status set to 
closed even though it is already set to closed.  The audit record created shows 
the status field changed from "Closed" to "Closed".
 
So every day when this runs it is updating 70,0000 HPD:Help Desk records and 
creating an additional 70,000 Audit records.
 
The fix is easy of course - you just add the Status to the qualification like 
this:
 
'Last Resolved Date' < ($TIMESTAMP$ - 1296000)AND 'Status' < "Closed"
