Hi,

A tool called ARSMarts can export the full definitions from ITSM for free very easily. You must register on the web site (www.arsmarts.com) to download it, and it contains many other (payable) functionalities.

Best regards,

great suggestion, I'll try that out. So are you able to export all the ITSM 7.x definitions in one operation?

Have you tried adjusting the JVM options for DevStudio to increase the amount of heap allocated to it? I had to do this to work around an error I was getting a while back. Go to the installation directory for DevStudio (maybe C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem \DeveloperStudio) and open devstudio.ini. Change the -Xmx512m line to something more like -Xmx1536m.

This is very frustrating and something that I hoped it was going to be addressed in DevStudio. I cannot export all the ITSM 7.5 definitions with DevStudio in one export operation. I cannot even export all the forms in one operation with DevStudio, I get an out of memory error, that I attached. My PC has 4 GBs of memory with 8 processors, so it's definitely not a resource issue on my side, it's probably the DevStudio JRE that ran out of memory.

I really hate it not to be able to do a full definitions export in one shot: you have to split the export in multiple chunks, which makes the management of the def files much harder, it more much more time consuming because of you have to monitor the exports and initiate a new one once the previous completed, etc.

When is BMC going to fully address and correct this?? It seems to me the backup of the application code at the application level is ESSENTIAL. I was really hoping that DevStudio would fix this very significant problem, but it it did not happen. How can you do effective release management and application version control if you cannot even efficiently and effectively export the definitions??

For what it's worth, we have ITSM 7.5.1, where the app server is running on Windows 2003 and the database is remote, it's 10gR2 running on Solaris 10. My PC has Windows XP.

Has anybody been successful in exporting all the defs of ITSM 7.5 in one export operation?
