I ran into this issue a month back when Hot-fix patch 002 was released for the ARS. The problem is with the ARS hotfix arserver.exe. What BMC had me do was replace the arserver.exe w/ the original base 8.1.00 .exe, then re-run the PDICT and perform the install steps and integration steps to completion. Then replace the patch 002 arserver.exe.

It's a shame as I put a lot of time and effort in working with the Abydos guys who were awesome to improve the product before it got acquired.

We were excited because it was going to help us avoid building an AIF in one case and be pretty darn useful in many others. Turns out it was more pain then it was worth. We found a "working as designed" oversight that makes it pretty useless when trying to use for an SRM processes. I am sure if you work with it in just the right context it works great but that context seems a bit narrow and as Andrew noted Process Designer doesn't appear to be getting any update love. As far as I can tell PD is heading for the scrap pile (BMC please let me know if this is incorrect).

It's a cool concept but nowhere near Production-ready on 7.6 or 8.x. We've had several issues caused by it (it wreaks havoc on the Task Management forms) that required small manual fixes simply after installing it. I encountered some other issues in trying to build workflow that I can't recall right now because it's been several months, but I think for the most part you'd be safer doing customizations to ITSM within ARS.

I noticed that there were several service packs out for arsystem and the various itsm modules so I (perhaps foolishly) went ahead and installed those before I went ahead with trying to install process designer. PDICT 8.3.3 now throws this error trying to install: "The Remedy version 8.1.00.002 is not supported. The integration cannot be completed on this server." Unless I'm blind, there don't appear to be any patches for process designer. Anyone else out there seeing this? It took upwards of 3 straight days to get 8.1 + all the latest service packs installed on my puny dev VM. Do I REALLY have to rollback to "SP0" to install process designer (then presumably reapply the service packs). Maybe I'm lucky and this error is bogus and there is some way to bypass it? -Andy _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ Private and confidential as detailed here <http://www.energytransfer.com/mail_disclaimer.aspx> .
