We have a custom import program that we use to import customer records into remedy from external sql databases has anyone else utilized the remedy api to build an application to do this? I will need to modify this program substantially in fact it may need a complete re-write and I am looking into what would be the best way to proceed with such a task, with the downturn in the economy support is not something my company is willing to shell out for so I am pretty much on my own with figuring out the best means to accomplish this, our goal is to update the records 3 different ways, we would like an incremental update to adjust for password changes (our support web uses the user table for authentication) we would also like to do a daily update and finally a weekly overwrite everything update..just looking for input feedback from the list as to what solutions you may have implemented in your environments to accomplish this type of task. ----- Original Message ----- From: Shafqat Ayaz Newsgroups: public.remedy.arsystem.general To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 6:01 PM Subject: Re: Problems with Remedy Migrator.
** Hello Alberto Migrator logs into the server slightly differently than the Admin Tool or the User Tool. You need to set up the server you want to log into individually, and although in the login window you might select multiple servers, it will still make you login one at a time. Make sure that you have the server names configured and you have licensed the servers and you won't get that message. if you are still stuck drop me a line and i will send you screen shots on how to configure the server names thanks shafqat --- On Mon, 12/1/08, Grooms, Frederick W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Grooms, Frederick W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Problems with Remedy Migrator. To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Date: Monday, December 1, 2008, 2:47 PM ** I use Migrator to do a complete server to server migration with no problems. We do partial (using .def files) to migrate from our dev server to test. Once the test group and the users have completed their testing we do a full server to server migration to production (NOTE: We do not have any of the canned Remedy Applications). We also use Migrator to do a full server to server migration from Production down to development about twice a year (or when we can schedule it in). Main tip: Run Migrator on a machine with a large amount of available memory. Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frank, Gordon M.

Do you have Tools, Licenses, Server Licenses declared? Do you have a valid AR Server license? Note: Migrator can be very disastrous if handled improperly. Read the documentation. Migrator can be your best friend if you understand it thoroughly. Sorry to sound condescending, but the problems that people have with Migrator are always a mis-understanding. Here’s a couple of rules of thumb: 1.. Never migrate whole systems at one time. It will run forever and it is probably not what you want. If you are migrating a whole system, use a .def instead. 2.. Use the Scripting Mode. If you perform immediate mode, you might migrate something that you do not want. Scripting mode gives you a chance to look at it a second time. 3.. Use the Diff capability to make sure you have all changes. 4.. Migrate objects and data in small chunks. Setup several scripts and migrate them one at a time. 5.. Remember, Migrator will migrate the lowest lever change, including X,Ys, so be careful. It’s pretty stupid about these things, so you the tools it gives you (Diff and scripting) and make sure it is what you want. Gordon M.

Hi all!, I'm installed the remedy Migrator 7.1 but I don't know why I'm unable to connect with our Remedy Server. When I try to connect, I have this message: "No servers for this account", but I can connect with the User and Administrator clients..... Anyone knows why?. Thank you very much!.
