Re: Anybody still doing Custom Development?
I just completed a project that converted a customer from Service Now to Helix the main office is in the UK.. My initial role was to be the SN SME since I have over four years assisting companies do implementations. I do not do SN development I do requirement review with the SN developers that were offshore. I assisted in reviewing what was built in SN and how the capability could be converted to Remedy. I also did DWPA development for over four months and determined this is the next generation of Service Catalog that we needed when I was a BMC employee until they went private. If a customer reviews Smart IT and DWPA and understands the maturity of the ITSM processes and compares it to the OOTB Service Now BMC could still be successful. Both Remedy and Service now can have custom applications built as we know the question is does the CIO want a custom application or an industry standard. My 2 cents, a Remedy devotee since 2000. -Original Message- From: Jason Miller To: arslist@arslist.org Sent: Wed, Nov 27, 2019 2:44 pm Subject: Anybody still doing Custom Development? Hello my Lister family! As the list comes to a close in the near future I figured I would send my final post (in a non List admin role). I have two intentions with this post... One to have a final discussion regarding development on the AR System platform and 2) looking to find work doing AR System development or any Remedy work for that matter. 1)It has been years since our beloved List buzzed with posts from people sharing what they are building, how they are creatively enhancing ITSM (or building their own). We all experienced the transition from "we can build whatever the business needs on Remedy" to "we want ITSM out of the box." BMC stopped promoting Remedy as a platform to build your own solutions on years ago (actually, did they ever or was that left over from Remedy Corp?). Understandably many organizations had the desire to move to a packaged product that was supported and maintained by a vendor. I can't fault them. But I miss the creativity, the ingenuity, the excitement, and the reward of creating solutions (both ITSM related not ITSM related). Does this still exist anywhere? Even though I left my original Remedy home (Sharp HealthCare) a few years ago to relocate in Austin, the writing was on the wall there as well. I spent my last few years there building a lightweight ITSM suite from the ground up (because OOTB ITSM was too rigid and burdensome for that organization). However they are just about to go-live with Ivanti Service Manager, out of the box, no "customization". We had a history of building all kinds of business solutions, some not even IT related. Those will all go away when they retire their Remedy environment. Another Remedy shop where creativity and rapid development was king... gone. More recently at my current job, I built a filter a few weeks ago. It was a documented fix in a KA for an ITSM issue. Just being in Dev Studio again put a huge smile on my face. I was once again in my happy place, for those 5 minutes at least. It reminded me of the hours I spent a few years ago cranking out forms and workflow. Is anybody out there willing to share if they still use Remedy as a development platform? Is Remedy as a development platform really dead? While I would love for us to have a open conversation about what organizations are still doing Remedy development, I also understand there are confidentially concerns for some. Please feel free to email me directly if you wish (jason.mil...@gmail.com). 2)The contract I have been working under is quickly coming to an end and it is looking like I will need to find a new source of income. I would love to find out, not only are organizations still performing Remedy development, but even better if there are any with an opening for a Remedy Developer in Austin, TX or Remote. There is a ton of tech around me (the area has been called "Silicon Hills"), I know some of the companies in the area used Remedy at one point, but it appears completely dead here in Austin for Remedy work. Did BMC (heck, they even have an office here)really lose all of these customers to the competition? Hopefully this will catch somebody's attention in my area that is still using Remedy and we can connect. To clarify, while I love doing Remedy development (it would be my dream job), I have nothing against ITSM and am very capable and content working with the suite (it is my current job). Hopefully this post will spark one last (or a few) good conversation on the ARSlist. * Putting on my ARSlist Admin hat (or whatever my title is) * Dan, Misi and myself have been discussing the List's final days (ok, think what you will, but my eye just watered up after typing that). Due to some circumstances the list may live on a bit longer than was originally stated. So until the plug is pulled... Post away

Using Business Time 2.0 in customer applications?
Hi Listers! I’ve always been using the “original" Business Time function in my ARS workflow, but now I’m tasked with rewriting an old assignment functionality, and I thought that I might be better off using the Version 2 Business Time functionality. But I honestly doest really understand the relationships between Business Times, Shared entities and (in my case) Support Groups. I was expecting to some system forms with a GUI to create these relationships, but I only have backend forms Business Time Segment Business Time Shared Entity And a couple of associates join forms. How is this supposed to be maintained in a non-ITSM environment? Is it at all, or am I better off sticking to what I know (the original Business Time functionality)?

RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Old Remedy 6.3 data
Can’t speak to the other systems you mentioned, but as you said above the last line – it’s not unique to Remedy – ServiceNow also has the ability to build whatever tables / applications you want. From: ARSList On Behalf Of Jason Miller Sent: Friday, August 16, 2019 11:02 AM To: ARSList Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Old Remedy 6.3 data Regarding where to put the historical Remedy data... I once took an organization from Remedy ITSM to newly developed homegrown Remedy application. Similarly they needed to keep their ITSM Change Requests (Work Info, Audit, Tasks, etc.) for regulatory purposes. Like Carina suggested, in the homegrown system I made a few shell forms (copies of the ITSM forms and imported the defs into the new server) with no code except a few active links to open some windows and a filter to prevent submit/modify. In Claire's case, her new system is not Remedy so this is not exactly an option. But let's say she moved to ServiceNow, can you build custom forms/tables/whatever SN calls them, import the data, and provide something similar to what Carina and I have done in the past? This would give her users a view of the data in the tool they are using on a daily basis. What if the system is Cherwell? Jira? Ivanti (Heat), Track-It? Or is this one of the unique strengths of Remedy; the ability to build whatever you need?

RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Old Remedy 6.3 data
I’ve actually done a migration of the data using web services. Built a web service to get the records from Remedy and then built ‘read-only’ archive tables in the new system, pulled the data across into those tables. Attachments are a bit of a different story – used outbound email to transfer those across to the new system. Need a bit of info in the email body to identify what the attachment relates to. It’s really a cost matter – whether it’s less costly to keep the database / data around and accessible or just archive it in the new system (In a db that’s already being maintained) vs building the web services to extract / consume the records.

Re: SNOW Migration
My experience doing multiple SN implementations that were led by SN or SN trained consultants required the customer to do the stories first in all of the cases I worked on SN would not do an OOTB demonstration prior to capturing all of the stories (requirements). The first implementation was to replicate the existing processes that were basically Remedy OOTB with minimal customizations. The SN customizations needed to allow the different Change types; normal, expedited, emergency, etc.. was extensive and took about 60 days to build and fully test prior to moving to the Production Instance. -Original Message- From: Saji Philip To: ARSList Sent: Tue, Mar 19, 2019 10:58 am Subject: Re: SNOW Migration Well, When comparing the two, I think there is a disservice to Remedy. Yes, SNOW is a Java-coded application and development is a quick cache refresh (ala the mid-tier and ALs). But Remedy is a true platform. I think alot of that is lost in these discussions. Most do not compare Apples to Apples, but Apples to Oranges. If ITSM is all thats needed then a OOTB SNOW instance is a preferred path. But I have too many colleagues who have been wined and dined by SNOW, and after the initial honeymoon, the scope of customizations crops up. Money is spent to have SNOW act like its predecessor. And some do feel 'buyers remorse'. Gartner even elludes to this with a mention of price creep. As for Remedy and BMC, as a whole, I think with SmartIT and Innovation Studio, they are on track to provide the best of both worlds.

New Idea in BMC Developer Communities
https://communities.bmc.com/ideas/19399 In AR 9.x BMC has discontinued the arfork log file. You'll notice from the following link the arfork log is not described and in the screenshot it is grayed out and unavailable: https://docs.bmc.com/docs/ars91/en/setting-log-files-options-609073755.html The log option does not appear on the Logs tab in the later releases because it is no longer used The arfork log file was the place to find the execution of an external Run Process command Tue Nov 20 07:54:49 2018 Received record marker. Tue Nov 20 07:54:49 2018 Spawning child, shell "", command "{FULL COMMAND LINE}". Tue Nov 20 07:54:49 2018 Spawned "{FULL COMMAND LINE}" as pid 56744. Tue Nov 20 07:54:49 2018 Awaiting record marker. Tue Nov 20 07:54:49 2018 process id 56744 has exited with status 0x0. This idea is for BMC to bring back logging the external run process actions in some log file (my preference would be the Thread log file if they do not wish to use the arfork log again) Please vote up Fred -- ARSList mailing list ARSList@arslist.org https://mailman.rrr.se/cgi/listinfo/arslist

RE: Data drop from tables
Hi Praveen, I'd recommend you to create one filter that runs "on delete" and pushes information such as "who", "form name" and some info into separate table. Share this filter between all important tables. Also create one more filter on this new table and send email to yourself "on submit". This would not prevent deletions, but you would always have information about deletion in all important tables.

Last week someone did a mischievous job in the environment by deleting all the data from 4 table from Production. Unfortunately, no user logs were enabled from database nor from application. There were few ids with administrator access enabled from previous application owner. Is there any way we can trace down the actual suspect? For remediation, we have revoked all the administrator access except for the required ones. Enabled SQL User logging but it will eat up resources and impact system performance due to the log size. Also, we have written workflows to disable deletion on all important forms. Is there anything which we can do avoid such data glitches. All suggestion will be much appreciated.

Re: Email Engine Conditional Capabilities?
Can you maybe could do a (one time) move to the HTML body, null out the actual message and do whatever you wanted in there? I've had to do it in that order so that I didn't 'operate' on it twice.

You can use the ‘lastcount’ keyword into a field after a dummy set field action or something like that. In the case of the emails not going out (as was mentioned) you can’t send an email out as a notification, but you can put some sort of display field on the console that then is displayed to say the service desk folks when they’re in the console or even when they bring up a new incident (have the field display for that group or functional role) if they number of messages are above the threshold. I’ve even set two thresholds in some cases – one for a warning (where the number may be high, but not calling for immediate action and another for an outright error. I’ve done this for emails, DSO actions, sys:action and other transitional forms where a process is run on the records.

It will work without a console, but would require “somebody” monitoring for new helpdesk tickets in some manner. Have the escalation run as you described. If it finds a match, create a new helpdesk ticket for the issue and assign it to your Remedy support/administrator team during business hours and maybe your service desk group if it’s after hours. Once it pops up on the console, then somebody will see it and can take action. If you want to add some spice to the recipe, get the list of email messages meeting the criteria in a table, have the escalation do a table walk using a filter guide and you can accomplish the same thing AND get a count of the number of messages meeting the criteria, thus adding some sense of urgency to the ticket.

RE: [Ext] Help with Escalation on how to Run on Last Record, Only
Susan, Even if the escalation fired and ran, if the email engine service is down I am thinking the notification would only queue and not send until the mail engine service was online again. Do you use any monitoring tools in-house like scom or zabbix? We have had success using those to monitor a service and if the service stops, the team is notified and it isn’t dependent on ARS services for delivery of the alert that something has gone wrong.

Thanks for the replies guys. This does not happen too often (once every few months) but on this occasion it was twice in the same day.

ADM: ARSlist Move, expect flakiness for the next 4 days
So, the journey continues. The ARSlist outside of communities will be on listserv still and email addresses and web site URL will remain the same, we hope. Your subscription should continue, we hope. The archives should be there for the new list, we hope. So if all goes well as we hope by next Tuesday just carry on. That is if licensing and redirect goes as planned. Misi of RRR has agreed to become the new corporate sponsor and house the list. WWRUG was the sponsor for the past 5 years. Jason Miller will be your new master of ceremonies, uhm Moderator\Admin. I will be around in the background but mostly in Communities for ARSlist, WWRUG and Developer. Please expect one or more outages between now and Monday as we repoint the internet from Canada to Sweden, at least it is another hockey country.

The ARSlist didn’t even start on listserv, it was another messaging software.

For the past 14 years it has had a home in a machine room in downtown Toronto, on Servers I purchased (both replaced once). Those servers from 2009-2013 also helped us run the WWRUG events, so I could justify the expense. Volume on the ARSlist is a quarter of what it was two years ago because the vast majority of posters are now on communities. There is also now the new Developer’s site for the Innovation Suite, developers.bmc.com <http://developers.bmc.com> We are all very busy, and there are too many places to go to find things. Now communities will get you to the ARSlist too. I have been promised non-censorship and non-interference. So, same discussions, same people if we are all still interested, different location. Note: I am not disappearing either, and I hope none of you do! The care and feeding of this community has been a highlight of the past 23 years for me, and through it I have met, electronically and\or physically a really great group of people most of whom I think of as friends.

I had told them to leave it as public. As to volume of posts; It has dropped over the past 3 years from 3800 posts in 6 months (already half of the historical levels which at times reached over 3000 per month), down to 778 in the first 6 months of 2016.

They are different and should be separate (IMHO). And I understand that Dan has expenses and time involved which have become prohibitive…I get it. And he shouldn’t have to bear that alone, or bear it at all. Here’s a suggestion. I am sure that Dan owns the domain rights to arslist.org for quite some time. Why not put in a simple re-direct for that domain to a free PHPBB type forum (like those hosted by freeforums.org) where we all can continue to do “this” without the large financial overhead and the BMC oversight/administrative/control overhead? And there are probably other forum solutions out there besides freeforums.org, that was just an example, Simple domain name registration and re-directs are cheap. I’ll donate the first 3 years of the cost.

I randomly chose Customer when I first joined Communities since I was neither category. Perhaps with the new emphasis on Developers and the new developers.bmc.com they can be talked into adding another category.

NOTE: On Friday Sept. 30th the plug will literally be pulled on the Servers this version of the list is running on. Please move over to the new home in Communities by then. The ARSlist didn't even start on listserv, it was another messaging software. I planned to make it a group on usenet, but the anarchist group in charge spent 9 months talking about where it should be in the structure (anyone familiar with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the marketing team arguing about what do people want from the wheel?) For the past 14 years it has had a home in a machine room in downtown Toronto, on Servers I purchased (both replaced once). Those servers from 2009-2013 also helped us run the WWRUG events, so I could justify the expense. Volume on the ARSlist is a quarter of what it was two years ago because the vast majority of posters are now on communities. There is also now the new Developer's site for the Innovation Suite, developers.bmc.com We are all very busy, and there are too many places to go to find things. Now communities will get you to the ARSlist too. I have been promised non-censorship and non-interference. So, same discussions, same people if we are all still interested, different location. Note: I am not disappearing either, and I hope none of you do! The care and feeding of this community has been a highlight of the past 23 years for me, and through it I have met, electronically and\or physically a really great group of people most of whom I think of as friends. Times change, c'est la vie. Now I just have to be a part of the Community, not build the platform the community lives on.

In this session, we'll walk you through a developer's engagement at BMC starting with the developer portal, where developers find information on why they would develop on BMC, how they get started and signed up, and how they gain access to the developer ecosystem for support. This is a great opportunity to gain insight into the various developer programs and events that are taking place and are planned.

Re: Keeping the ARSList going as it is.
Joe et al, First and foremost: BMC is our friend. It is their software we are experts in, and yes there are heated discussions at times about the actions or direction of BMC, but in the end, relative to the flexibility and power of a set of functionality that has evolved and kept current with changing technology, IMHO it has no real match. Sadly many companies have chosen to move to lesser platforms, c'est la vie. However, if we are here, we have not. Or not entirely yet. I can't think of a single reason BMC would want it's largest Developer Community to disappear [even if some BMC VPs from time to time wonder why it exists until it is all explained to them], so I don't see them risking our good will by interfering with a discussion group that their management doesn't understand anyway, and the BMC folks that do get what we are doing, are their developers, once again our friends. To clarify what Stan is doing, or what I thought he was doing: if he could find a couple of corporate sponsors I would keep the ARSlist running on the current platform, even if I feel the best route is now BMC:Communities. I fundamentally do not like personal donations, the people that contribute the most to the list are the ones that would donate. The people that learn and benefit the most from the list sit in the background and do not volunteer to donate. [the above statement is based on the people I have heard from who ask if they can contribute to keep it running on the current platform]. If we move the list to other's servers and\or someone else is running the list, I see no benefits versus moving the ARSlist to communities (and either me or other non-BMC developers running it there). It will still be our Community, a community is about the people not the technology we use to communicate with, it can still send emails, and I suspect most of you are on BMC:Communities anyway so now you just have to go to one place when you want to log in and search for information. I am listening to the concerns in terms of functionality and will work inside and outside of BMC to try to make it all happen. Archives and sending of email is easy. Daily Digest at bit more difficult so it might be a few months before that is in place [I have a few thoughts].

Re: ARSlist Future
I will be in charge of the ARSlist Group in BMC Communities. If BMC breaks it’s word to not interfere, and I have no reason to expect them to, then the classic ARSlist can appear quite quickly if there is the will to do so (in part meaning the cash to support it). I expect the ARSlist to continue as it has, as an uncensored area primarily for Developers to speak their minds, 3rd parties to gather and either comment or sell their wares, and for the occasional bout of bad taste humour. Happy to drink to the change of platform for the list and loss of old friends to the Snow Ball, and great old friends back to ARSystem fold. My understanding is that Stan is trying to get a coalition of the willing together, and if he succeeds I will accept continuing to run the list on the current platform, but I will still open the communities ARSlist to the world (it has been there for 3 years waiting for me to do something with it, BMC has patiently let me do things if and when I want to).

Re: ARSlist Future
The move of the ARSlist to Communities is primarily a pragmatic one, the volume of posts to Communities even on the topics we cover are far greater. It seemed to make sense to let people go to one place, Communities, and ensure you know about everything going on, and of course what we are talking about on the ARSlist. Does the rss feed feature solve the digest issue?

Re: ARSlist Future
Well, not convinced we will have digest available at the time of the move, but I don't want to change when we move over. If communities can't provide it I am working on a work around (sound familiar?) Basically we can send the emails to somewhere else where the day gets bundled and people go there for the digest. Given the current volume, only having a digest doesn't seem to have the same priority as when we had 130 posts a day.

You get an email for each post, and you can reply to the post using email. To get the complete thread you click on a link in the email to read it. Or the thread view, in my email reader, also works fine on the communities emails. It is easy to create a mail-sorting-filter on the subject of the email to get all future ARSList emails into a separate folder, just as I get my current ARSList emails sorted :-) So if you do not want things to change, it can stay more or less as it is now. I think that Dan has made sure that something similar to the digest emails will also be available. Right Dan?

Re: ARSlist Future, New Platform on the horizon
Hmm, more mysterious than it should have been assuming no one else got the actual text of the email. For the first time in years I tried to post from the web site and it shows up as an attachment there …. Effective August 31st, 2016 the ARSlist will be moving to a new platform. This will require a migration of all those that are subscribed to here, it has not yet been determined if it can be automated. I will be announcing by June 1st the new home. It will most likely not be list based, and therefore some features may change, some functionality may no longer exist, and other functionality might appear. That I am running Servers dedicated to this list is an historical oddity that it time to correct, especially given the current volume of traffic, it does not justify dedicated servers. 23 years on the same technology is a pretty good run, but the same as BMC has moved to a JAVA core and the latest technology, so must the ARSlist. More as I know it.

Rate sessions you would like to see at Engage 2016!
BMC has asked for me to post this, and in my view this survey seems simpler than trying to log in communities to vote things up, also a recognition that many of the developer\technical folks in are here (my interpretation, not theirs) .. I just went through the list of topics in the survey and there were many different types of presentations, and some that appeared to be the kind of technical session for developers that I was hoping would be there (I said I was interested lol) ... with no further ado, here is the post .. Rate sessions you would like to see at Engage 2016! Your voice matters! We've provided four broad product category buckets that contain many abstracts. Rate the abstracts on a simple 5 point scale. Go to the product category that you want to influence. Please provide your feedback by Thursday, March 10.

let us assume that if we indicate some highly technical development related topics quickly, that someone who knows that area would submit it if we showed interest, or that BMC would fill in what we can't. Possibly one might be how to read the new java logs for the core and quickly know what the true error is (I tend to find a java log rather long winded and finger pointing about what caused the issue, so some sort of smart parser would be nice). I can guess at least one person named John is chuckling at me right now, so perhaps he could submit that one :) So, think we can gather a top 10 +- of topics that we would love to see [possibly wanted for years and never see]?

Re: License Monitor Application 'LicMon'
We are using LicMon to monitor licenses for all clients. Using this, we can track total# and available fixed or floating licenses. It also returns individual/user license details. The main purpose behind this is to get an alert if we need to buy more licenses for that client. To calculate this information, LicMon imports 2 forms ADM :License Monitor and ADM: Individual License Detail. It uses 2 perl scripts in the background that calculates the license information and loads it in these tables. These scripts uses ARSPerl module and some API calls. I am not sure from which form/table it is getting the data. We want to get rid of these scripts and create some remedy workflow that calculates similar information from the data available in OOTB forms like License Review or using API. I need help with #1 understanding the perl script and creating a remedy workflow #2 any other license monitoring application that does not use perl script and returns same type of information. I read about RRR but not sure how much similar is it with LicMon. At present, I can't see any data in AR System Historical License Usage Form. Is this something that needs to be turned ON?

Hello! I am running into an issue with remedy 9.0.1 escalations. We have an escalation that pushes the data from a view form, say A to a regular form, say B. If any mandatory field on form B is pushed with a NULL value, escalation returns an exception and aborts. It does not process rest of the records. While on 7.6.04, we have the same escalation that writes all the errors to aerror.log and continue processing rest of the records. Is this an issue with Remedy 9.0.1?
