** Thanks John, Thanks Joe   I appreciate your suggestion Joe. We already have this in Plan#1 :) Planning is in very early stage and we are collecting all possibilities and vendor advice.     Cheers!

Just curious..   Wouldn’t just a cheap RDBMS database (like Access) serve the same purpose if you just want to store relationship data, to just view it using some type of a frontend??   Even if you want to only report from that instance, it is sufficient to mirror the database to a reporting server, and install your reporting tools on that server. Personally I don’t see any other reason why you might want a read only AR System instance.. If you must have an AR Server instance installed there, then what John said will work. But it is a huge overkill for reading relational data.. Its like renting a over size U-Haul van for the purpose of going to the grocery to buy a dozen X-small chicken eggs..   Joe   From: John Sundberg Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 7:50 PM Newsgroups: public.remedy.arsystem.general To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Running ARS in Read-Only mode?   ** Make all the licenses - read-only, disable escalations and write a filter for submit/modify/merge that produces a "no you don't" error message.   -John Sent from my iPhone On Sep 28, 2011, at 5:54 PM, Vaibhav Singhal <vaibhavsing...@hcl.com> wrote: ** Hi List,   I wonder if it's possible somehow to Run ARS 6.03, ITSM 6.3 in Read-Only mode?     Thanks for your help.   Cheers!
