Re: Diary Field Issue - how to get the missed diary field values
Hi Stephen, Thanks for the links and your suggestion. My client is not accepting to make the diary field as worklog form, since it used for a long time users may confuse with the new setup. Using the qualifications in the workflow objects, i managed this issue. Any way the user comments were lost from the date17th august 2009 to till date. From my user interface form i am pushing the user comments to a regular form diary field. This form is called as Main form,This form stores all the required field values for the application and we have also pushed the same comments to a regular form character field. This form called as a History form, This form acted as history form that stores the actions and user information. So all user comments in this date range are present in the history form character field. i have other field like who made it and the date and time in other field. I want to get all these user, date and time and user comments and push the values in the Main form diary fields. Can you please give an idea how do we can easily? Hope the above explanation is understandable. Please let me know if you or any others can help me.

(most (maybe all) reporting tools know how to use related tables -- NONE of the reporting tools I know of know how to parse a Remedy diary field) Reporting -- it would be easier to produce a report of high touch tickets by reporting on all tickets where comment.count 10 -- or something like that - if the comments were in a separate table. My guess as to why the diary field exists (and still exists) - is two reasons. 1) Original Remedy did not have push fields (or tables like we now know them) -- and so the diary field solved the problem. 2) Diary fields == more licenses -- updating a simple status would update the worklog - forcing a modify of the record - hence license used -- aka $$$. -John On Sep 1, 2009, at 2:45 PM, Matt Reinfeldt wrote: **Warren, I, like John, stopped using Diary fields long ago.

Re: Diary Field Issue - Attention - Remedy Product Defect.
Patrick, I am on 7.1 patch 5 (on AIX, Oracle 10). In some simple testing (In all tests, the diary field has previous values): Case 1 - In the user tool, put a space in a diary field and save. Result: Diary field contents retained. Case 2 - Use a filter push action to push a space to a diary field on another record Result: Diary field contents retained. Case 3 - Use a filter push action to push a field that has a null value to a diary field on another record Result: Diary field contents retained. Sounds like this is just a 7.5 issue.

Re: Diary Field Issue - Attention - Remedy Product Defect.
Warren, I, like John, stopped using Diary fields long ago. As far as reporting goes, yes, a join or a sub-report is what it takes to bring that in, but I don't think that's a big deal, because. (wait for it.) at least you can then view it in a readable format! Have you seen a Diary field in a report? J Honestly, though, we don't pull those particular records into much more than the 'print ticket' reports, as there's no need. As to how it was missed. good question, and I think that one more use case has just been defined for the QA team. (note to self: test not only NULL values, but a single space, too! .

Re: Diary Field Issue - Attention - Remedy Product Defect.
Actually - I would consider the fuzzing technique for testing. Cause -- all testing a would do is catch the space problem. Fuzzing would try tons of things you would never think of. (tabs / Null \0 / etc.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzz_testing Also - I would make the claim that - reporting is easier when the comments are in a related table. (most (maybe all) reporting tools know how to use related tables -- NONE of the reporting tools I know of know how to parse a Remedy diary field) Reporting -- it would be easier to produce a report of high touch tickets by reporting on all tickets where comment.count 10 -- or something like that - if the comments were in a separate table. My guess as to why the diary field exists (and still exists) - is two reasons. 1) Original Remedy did not have push fields (or tables like we now know them) -- and so the diary field solved the problem. 2) Diary fields == more licenses -- updating a simple status would update the worklog - forcing a modify of the record - hence license used -- aka $$$. -John On Sep 1, 2009, at 2:45 PM, Matt Reinfeldt wrote: ** Warren, I, like John, stopped using Diary fields long ago.

Even via filter if you push a null value it deletes the previous text. In our application, our users are accessing a display only form to enter the comments, this comments are get stored in regular form diary field. Some users may type comments and some not.

The size and position of the diary editor are stored in the ar.ini file so deleting the cache will not fix it. You can open the ar.ini and find the section [Popup Diary Editor] Close All Remedy apps, delete that entire section from the ini, and when you next open the diary editor it should open at it's default size and position.

Re: Diary Field Issue
Mike, We had this happen the other day. Turned out that the vertical size of pop-up window containing the Diary Editor and Diary History fields was too small...we could see the labels Diary Editor and Diary History, but that was it. Apparently the end-user reporting the problem somehow resized the vertical settings of the window in a previous session to where both fields disappeared and had the same problem you report in a subsequent session. I can't see your screen shots but I'll bet that click-dragging with your mouse to increase the vertical size of the pop-up will solve the problem.

Re: Diary Field Issue
Jaya, If the solution works for you bar the missing TR value, then force a commit down to the database on form 1 before you do the set fields in form 2. You can do this with an Application-Release-Pending command run before the push fields (Phase 2) operation. Alternatively do the submit to form 2 with an active link firing after modify. Or if the entry in form 2 already exists then get an after modify active link to touch the record to cause the set fields action to fire.

Re: Diary Field Issue
Hi Jaya; Long time no email :-) Remember the logging form for worklog history loss we did? From Form 1 push the worklog value into Form 2 (yes it only gets the TR portion) In Form 2 do a set fields and take Worklog + Worklog This will concatenate the DB.worklog from the query and the still pending TR.worklog from the transaction buffer. I avoid the Commits as much as possible as it really goofs up the 'rollback' should a latter submit / update fail.
