Re: ITSM 7.5.01 Patch1
Every previous patch - especially 7, and 8 and 9, has overwritten some portion
of our customizations to IM, so I expected that and more of the 7.5.x upgrade.
I am now documenting what it takes to restore all of our customizations after
the upgrade, just like I had to do for the 7.0.03 patches in the past. The
modules they completely re-wrote are the biggest hurdle, since our
customizations tend to break the upgraded app.

Re: ITSM 7.5.01 Patch1
Thanks Chris,
The hours that it churns even when upgrading from 7.5.01, plus the fact
that it over-writes any customisations because it does a fresh install,
means that I can't apply it at the moment.
Currently BMC Support is quoting tech bulletins at me. If only they would
try it and let me know what happens to them!
Cheers

Re: ITSM 7.5.01 Patch1
I have only applied it to an ITSM 7.0.03.009 system after the AR Server and
Atrium Core were upgraded to 7.5.00.002. It took almost 5 hours to complete:
20 July 2009 - Install ITSM 7.5.01.001 upgrade to applications (minus Asset) {
4 hrs 46 minutes - 12:15 to 17:01 }
logged in as domain admin
Cleared out AR System Email Messages and NTE:SYS NTE Process Control
form
Selected Change and ServiceDesk, not Asset
Install in D:\Program Files (x86)\BMC Software\BMCRemedyITSMSuite (new
location)
Selected the Object Modification logging, which GREATLY increases
install time
Change Escalation queue threads from 2 2 to 2 3
21 July 2009 - Install SLM 7.5 upgrade to SLM 7.1
Etc.,...
It was one of the few 7.5.x installers that actually ran without error on the
first try.
