We run Remedy as totally customized on Solaris and Oracle. For about the last 10 years, there is a filter associated with our Help Desk form that performs a notify to our maintenance contract vendor, via email, to repair our faulty equipment. In the text of the Notify action, I basically have 3 fields: 1) $Requester Data$ - which is a concatenation of Name, Phone, Address, City, Zip, etc. of the requester, 2) $Equipment Data$ - which is a concatenation of Asset Tag, Serial Number, Description, Model, Purchase Date, etc. and 3) the Short Description of the problem. The $Requester Data$ and $Equipment Data$ fields are populated by an AL when the lookup occurs for the requester and for the equipment.
Last month, we upgraded from 7.6.4 to 8.1.2. Even though $Requester Data$ and $Equipment Data$ are listed in the text of the notify, they show up blank in the email. What the notify used to look like (and what it should be now): John Smith 407-555-8776 9999 South Orange Blossom Trail Orlando District Office & Work Center Orlando -- 32809-7999 Asset Tag = 00096944 Serial = 1F4J3XX PC Dell Notebook Quad Core 2.5 GHz Model Number = HD7RD Model Description = Latitude E6430 Purchase Date = 5/7/2013 Maint Code = C Problem Description: Dell Latitude E6430 00096944, bad Video Card, Dell Diagnostics reports Error2000-0332, Validation: 75863 What it looks like now: Problem Description: Dell Latitude E6430 00096944, bad Video Card, Dell Diagnostics reports Error2000-0332, Validation: 75863 In subsequent testing, I can create the same information if I list the fields individually - with the exception of the Purchase Date. This field comes from another field of the type Timestamp, where I have set the field as DATE($Purchase Date) to strip off the time of day. It seems that concatenating or running a Function to create a value in a field causes the Notify to ignore that field when it generates the email message. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
