be living in the respective Nordic countries.

The role will also involve much travel and you could be expected to travel 
across EMEA.

This will be a home based role with atleast 80% travel onto customer sites, we 
are experiencing huge growth within the Nordic countries, so need people there 
urgently.

Other area's we are hiring in :

AUTOMATION CONSULTANTS - RUSSIA
Atrium CMDB Experts - Global

Re: Commit Changes vs PERFORM ACTION APPLY

True Commit Changes does that too, though personally I have started to use the 
Perform-Action-Apply for creating workflow for submits and searches as soon as 
it got available in version 6.3 I think..

Commit Changes should not however be confused with the ‘commit transaction’ in 
T-SQL or a ‘commit’ in Oracle as was by Mark following his SQL – at least that 
was my understanding of what he was attempting to do A Direct SQL once run 
from the Direct SQL action, is automatically followed by a commit when 
necessary.

Joe….that is ‘one’ of the things the Commit Changes does….when you are NOT in a 
dialog window, for example in a search window, the commit changes action 
performs the search, if in a submit window, it creates the record…if in a 
modify window it saves changes…so I think they ‘kinda do the same thing’

If you have a direct SQL query in your workflow, you do not need to use either 
of these after the Query. The AR Server performs the commit after the 
successful execution of that query wherever a commit is required (in case of 
insert, update or delete).

Perform-Action-Apply is used for submitting in a submit or modify window and 
search in a search window while commit changes is used to push the values from 
a child window in a dialog box operation to the parent window after the child 
is closed, on fields where there was a mapping on window close between the 
parent and child window..

HI All,

Commit Changes vs. PERFORM ACTION APPLY. Is one better to use than the other on 
ARS 6.3?

I have one active link that populates data from a SQL query and a second active 
link to commit the changes. These were probably created under ARS 3 or 4. The 
Commit Changes does the job but always looking to smart way to do things.

5 year server sizing

We are currently running ARS7.1 with older Change  Asset applications on two 
servers (Windows 2003 32bit, Dell 2950 Dual Xeon 3Ghz, 4GB RAM)
We are planning on installing 7.6.04 with ITSM and CMDB.
I have requested a memory upgrade - but to do that we need an OS upgrade.
Server group wants sizing recommendations for processor power - what will be 
enough for a 5 year life cycle on the server? We are planning on increasing the 
RAM to 8GB now

My understanding is outside a couple exceptions (PAE extensions, I believe) 
32-bit OS' cannot see more than about 3 GB of RAM. So in your case a RAM 
upgrade without an OS upgrade would be a waste.

I will also say we had a server 2003 setup with 7.6.04 with 4 GB of RAM and it 
screwed up badly due to running out of RAM while working with CMDB. We moved to 
server 2008 (64-bit) with 8 GB of RAM and everything is great.

Re: caught exception :Unable to get value of the property 'mObj'

2011-12-09 Thread Chowdhury, Tauf
Ravi,

This sometimes occurs (my opinion) when you needed to flush the mid tier
cache or something during working hours when people were also actively
using the system. So it could be some piece of corrupt data on the
client side. 

The best thing to try initially is to clear your history and temp files
for IE8. Please note though that clicking the Delete Files button in
the options screen doesn't always get rid of all the files. I've noticed
with IE8 that if you click that button and then click, View Files, it
will still show many temp files remaining in the temp dir. Try deleting
those manually and then establishing a new session with Remedy to see if
that resolves your issues. 

-Tauf.

For your mid tiers, I would look at some of the earlier posts on the list but 
basically, Mid Tier doesn't work properly if you try to use more than 1.4gb of 
RAM in Java. That may be something to consider when sizing those boxes.

BMC Data Management Load Tool 7.604p2

2011-12-09 Thread Terje Moglestue
From the Data Load Console I am trying to Convert CSV Files for the 
foundation data. Even the example data files generated by BMC generated run 
time errors, read-only errors and all shorts of things.

Have anyone been able to use the Data Management Load Tool 7.604p2? I am asking 
about the convert to CSV functionality. Convert the data manually into CSV and 
import work fine. It is just excel sheet converting ting that got my laptop to 
spin

On the client I am running Windows 7, 64 bits, MS Excel 2007.

Flashboards - Observations

2011-12-09 Thread Axton
Environment Information:
- ARS 7.5 patch 3
- Midtier 7.5 patch 3

I'm trying to use flashboards to render some data.  I have 3 variables
(fixed, floating write, floating read) that I am trying to plot using a
stacked area chart over a time series (historical data).  The data looks
fine in a stacked bar chart, but the rendering of the data in a stacked
area is inaccurate when the value is zero for one of the variables.

Take this stacked bar chart.  It shows the following data for the 2 five
minute collection times:
- 4 for Fixed
- 1 for Floating
- 0 Floating Read

[image: image.png]

When I change the chart type to stacked area, I get different results (bear
in mind it is using the same data):
- 4 for Fixed
- 1 for Floating
- highlight shows 4 Floating Read, but it should be 0; plot shows 0
floating read tokens

[image: image.png]

Has anyone else seen the same issue with flashboards?

Some other general observations:
- In the FB variables, the grouping is limited to only 2 fields (why?)
- When grouping by 2 fields, the legend and data rendering in the chart do
not break down the sample data according to the second group field; it only
uses the first grouping field (i lose the granularity of the data in the
chart, which makes it useless).  I instead have to create seperate
variables that include the qualification (and no grouping) and add each of
those variables to the flashboard
- If I group by 1 field and only have 1 variable in the flashboard, the
legend will break down the data properly.  If I have multiple variables,
each with 1 field used as a grouping, the chart does not honor the grouping
and lumps all the data for that variable into 1 section of the stacked bar
chart.
- There are some missing features that I would consider 'elementary' or
'basic' features:
  - group by any number of fields
  - Min/Max capabilities over a time range or for the chart (series line)
  - Chart types: scatter plot, others, ...
  - statistics or data points in chart; ability to control the visibility of
  - ability to resize chart
  - ability to change time range (define period)
  - refresh interval
  - many others
- Uses Flash; Who decided to use flash for every graphical type of output
from Remedy?  Why would anyone do this?  Proprietary browser plugins =
platform dependencies at the discretion of the plugin vendor; Proprietary
browser plugins = future incompatibility with browsers for the portions of
your product that rely on the plugins.

Capability-wise, this seems to be the same flashboards product that was
available 10 years ago with Flashboards 2.0 when it still had the seperate
FB Admin utility, albeit wrapped in a better looking (though, proprietary)
wrapping.

Re: SRM Issue

2011-12-09 Thread John Sundberg
(ADV: Recommends looking at Kinetic Request if SRM becomes problematic)

Generically speaking - I would take off Quantity as a question -- it does
not make sense.

All questions should be relevant - else -- you are confusing people.

I mean - am I supposed to put a number in there? -- Does it auto increment?
If I want a domain name - is the quantity the # of machines in the alias ???

Rule #1: Make things as simple as possible, but not any simpler.

Also - the new questions you are planning to ask generically -- do ALL
forms need these new questions? I don't think you have the luxury of hiding
and showing those generics in BMC SRM.

 As seen in the attached screen shot, the marked red section is the
 requester details, getting populated from CTM:People.

 There is a requirement to add few more People attributes in the marked red
 section.

 I want to avoid the use of AIFs. The entire submit request screen is a DVF
 field which is not easy to customize.

 I would like to know if there is a way to add more attributes in the
 marked red section and get them populated with CTM:People data of the
 requester.
 I also did some research and found that jar files must be modified to
 achieve this kind of customization. Need to know if there is another way.

For your mid tiers, I would look at some of the earlier posts on the list but 
basically, Mid Tier doesn't work properly if you try to use more than 1.4gb of

My understanding is outside a couple exceptions (PAE extensions, I believe) 
32-bit OS' cannot see more than about 3 GB of RAM. So in your case a RAM 
upgrade without an OS upgrade would be a waste.

I will also say we had a server 2003 setup with 7.6.04 with 4 GB of RAM and it 
screwed up badly due to running out of RAM while working with CMDB. We moved to 
server 2008 (64-bit) with 8 GB of RAM and everything is great.

Incident Management - building reports

2011-12-09 Thread Christine Milton Hall

Hi everyone - Hoping someone can help me out...

I am the functional person for our environment, not technical..  I have
currently created some requirements for reporting (to a spreadsheet).

We have a couple of options for tools.   Crystal reporting (out of Remedy),
Remedy AR, and BMC Analytics.  I am hoping to hear what the best practice
and best approach of the 3 options is.

My next question is.. If I can find data in a search, to me that means that
the data exists in the Database.  Would there be any reason that fields
would be required to be added to a form or the DB based on the information
below.  As an old developer (cobol programmer), I would expect that the
Total Life Cycle time would not be added, but instead be calculated as the
report is run.

Any guidance would really be greatly greatly appreciated!

The data I am looking to retrieve is the following:  (all of which I can
pull up in a search except for Total Life Cycle time.  My expectation is
that this would be a calculated field when running the report)

Re: Incident Management - building reports

2011-12-09 Thread Nathan Aker
Options in terms of preference (according to my personal opinion):


1.   Analytics – allows non-technical users to build reports and extract 
the data like you indicate below as well as do all your own formatting and 
editing and build the report without having to understand the DB data model 
(which is complex in Remedy).  You can also build objects to do all your 
calculations at run time as you indicate.  Most user friendly tool.

2.   Crystal Reports – allows much of what you could do with Analytics but 
creating a Crystal report is really more of a development exercise than an 
ad-hoc reporting capability.  In the end you are left with a .rpt file that 
anyone can run, but only a Crystal developer can change (outside of predefined 
input parameters you can develop in the report).

3.   Remedy AR – this is really just a data extraction method unless you 
are on the latest AR version with the new reporting capabilities.  Even then, 
it’s intended for quick operational level reporting and data presentation.  
It’s not meant to be an enterprise level analytics tool like Analytics.

Hope this helps.  Thanks.  Nate.

Re: Incident Management - building reports

2011-12-09 Thread Andrew C Goodall
We use Microsoft SQL Reporting Services (SSRS) for our analytical needs;
obviously we have a SQL Server DB. We added a SQL snapshot for reporting
purposes of the live ARSystem DB to make sure we were only hitting the
live db for reporting purposes when absolutely necessary, e.g. when
needing to report on open incs, pbi's , changes, etc...

 

For us this was the most cost efficient way to have real time reports
available for a mass audience (hundreds of report users) and give the
user the flexibility in exporting the data (pdf, excel, web archive,
etc) and/or subscribing to reports to be delivered in email or on a file
share.

For us ramping up report development on SSRS also had the fastest turn
around. 

 

Licensing of BMC analytics was unfortunately cost prohibitive for a mass
audience, although we did like the interface and web designer aspects of
the application.

 

Downside of using SSRS was the learning curve to understand the database
schema.

Christine,

Analytics really isn't a Remedy module. It's basically a custom
universe created by BMC based on the Remedy data model on the Business
Objects platform. So I think the training that would be helpful is to
first understand how Remedy data is structured within the DB. For
example, knowing that Remedy Forms are views within the DB etc...

Second, if you needed training on using Business Objects, I'm sure there
are classes out there that will help you get an understanding of how to
use Business Objects both from a Universe Designer perspective and also
the end user InfoView perspective. This will assist in helping you
then take that Remedy DB knowledge and work with the ITSM Universe
within Analytics to customize or just use it. Business Objects is owned
by SAP so perhaps they have specific training on the Designer and
Infoview that is independent of what the universe actually is. 

 

Hope that makes sense. :)

Re: capture midtier qualification to be used to create a URL with mode=searchqual=?

2011-12-09 Thread Andrew C Goodall
Not sure if this helps.

Examples below - these are for SSRS report links but you can use the
same approach with some changes to the syntax and criteria for the qual
line reference.
I'm sure you could use same approach on a field and use workflow to auto
build the qual line.

FYI - important to use field IDs and not labels when using qual=...
due to bug when field contains special characters.

Subject: capture midtier qualification to be used to create a URL with
mode=searchqual=?

I added a display-only field to the bottom of one of our forms that just

lets you see, click, and/or copy the URL to the current request.  An AL 
just sets a field to https:///arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=; +

$SCHEMA$) + server=) + $SERVER$) + eid=) + $Request ID$ and the 
field has a display type of Show URL.

This makes it very easy to share a request with someone over email, IM, 
etc.  Now I am wondering about the same thing but for queries.  If I 
perform a web query by making some selections using the form or in 
combination with the advanced query toolbar and then clicking search, is

there a way to capture that qualification into a field to be used in a 
URL that includes the mode=searchqual=query here?  This would be 
tremendously useful.  I find myself often manually constructing these 
URLs to include in emails, etc.  It's very tedious and error-prone.  Any

other suggestions are welcome.

Brien

Re: BMC Data Management Load Tool 7.604p2

2011-12-09 Thread SUBSCRIBE h@rry
Terje,

I am currently using the Data Management tool 7.6.04 p2 for uploading data, i 
had some problems initially using the 'Convert CSV' option, strange as it 
seems, data was not converting into csv files if the source excel file was in a 
folder (D drive) other than the data management install dir/spreadsheets folder 
which is in C drive. However, once i moved the source excel files into this 
folder, files were converted to csv successfully. This is on Win 2008 server. 
Not sure if i had missed something.
Apart from this, there were few errors related to macros on excel which had to 
be enabled.

Regards
