I’ve actually begun to like it better than the older AR Admin Tool. Initially I did feel the bite like some of you, as it seemed to be too ‘unfamiliar’ after having worked with a Admin tool like interface for years...
But eventually when you learn where some of the controls are and relearn how you do what you used to do in a slightly different way, it gets better.. I do agree though that some of those perspective settings etc are kind of confusing.. I haven’t quite figured it out yet either but then I haven’t RTFM, and preferred to learn it by groping around.. Maybe its time for a little bit of reading to learn the finer points for some of us including me..

I’m piloting that from more of a developer standpoint, and while I have my fair share of complaints about the performance of the VMs and other issues, I have noticed that some of the lag of reading and writing to the AR Server has diminished. It’s odd, because in my virtual machine just using my web browser is really slow, but Developer Studio has gotten a lot faster. I think an alternative that I would have explored if I wasn’t using the VM would be to load up Developer Studio on one of my servers and RDP to the server to develop there. This doesn’t help those on Unix, but if you are in a Windows shop it may help. Also, I use Eclipse for other types of development and find it easier than using Developer Studio, but I think it’s because Developer Studio is meant to retain some of the paradigm of the Admin Tool. Does this mean that BMC eventually wants us all to be Java developers just to customize Remedy? That’s the direction I speculate they may be going in, which also explains why they are trying to make their applications more configurable so you won’t have to develop as much. Their new licensing structure also clearly puts AR System development in the back seat, and focuses almost exclusively on ITSM now. If you convert from the “green” licensing model to the “blue” one, you need to be careful to make sure you don’t lose your licenses to run applications other than the OOtB ones.

I think the people who wrote the code for Dev Studio have servers installed on their local machines and never bothered to do any testing over the network. I have found so many bugs and problems that it is unreal. if i wrote code like this i would get fired within a week.

May not be like lightning, but it definitely doesn't take me 15, 30 or even 5 minutes to open update and save (even the more complex forms). _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
