Check to make sure the permissions on armonitor.conf are correct. Also, in the /<install dir>/ar/bin directory check the file arsystem for the location for armonitor. This line will show you where it is looking for the file in Unix.

But when I try to file up the ARS. I'm getting this error: AR System server terminated -- fatal error encountered (ARNOTE 21) monitor configuration file open failed Any ideas about this?

They created a new user (ie Aradmin2) and did an export and import of the data from the db they were removing to the other db as that second user. The ar.conf file was then changed to use this aradmin2 db user and it worked well. I'm not sure I'd combine a dev or test with production, but in our case it was two different non-production systems. Not sure if I explained that clearly enough, but maybe it will give you an approach to think about.

However, you can use this newly built system like any other server group system works sharing common database, hence I trust it should work by just copying file system and modifying according to the new server name and paths.

I'm currently in the process of trying to make Remedy work on a Unix server. What we did was to setup the server to have the same attributes as of the current production. Copy all files, modify configuration files (ar.conf, arsystem.lic, etc,) and the start-up script. Not really sure this will work but we'd like to try. However, I don't have a test database to test with. So my questions is that - would it be possible that I could point my test Remedy to an Oracle DB that is already used by another Remedy instance (development). I would just like to see if Remedy will work on that Unix server without actually installing it. My goal is quite ambitious and I'm not sure if it really works but I think it's worth to try. Any comments / suggestions ?
