Well, I do quite prefer Perl over Java, but I think that Perl won't work because I cannot put Perl on my servers.... Tisk Tisk....
So, I'm reading up on the java filter API stuff right now, I've never dealt with it, and have limited Java experience, so I have some learning to do, which is fine. It looks pretty simple, I would just need to do a set fields action and choose the "Read Value for Field From:" as "FILTER API" and then map which field(s) I want to send to the java plugin (if any)and map my fields to the resulting $1$, $2$, ETC.. Now I just have to figure out where to put said java script, how to write it, and what not :) Thanks, Gary Opela, Jr Sr. Remedy Developer Leader Communications, Inc. 405 736 3211 -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carey Matthew Black Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 12:53 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Looking for a password generator Gary, Nope. Works in v6.x too. (maybe v5... but I am not sure, I forget. However I think that is unsupported already too.) We are using it on v6.3 patch 22 at the moment in production. (no known issues.) However in v7.1... there are new Native Java plugins. So you can skip the beanshell interface and totally compile the Java code ahead of time. ( There is some overhead to using beanshell. ) Personally, I have had issues with the Perl Filter plugin. And given that the Java API is actually supported by BMC... I really feel that the Perl interface is missing a part that would allow you to talk to the ARS server in a "supported/native" way. (But ARSPerl works for most data things... And Perl is nicer for some programming tasks than Java too...
