Re: MidTier 6.3 Windows 2003 - RPC Procedure unavailable
Hi George, we patched to #18, let's see if that will help. We also applied one patch at the Win2k3 box. I'm quite sure that it is load related, as it only happens (infrequently, like very other week) at Nafta operation times, which are using the web very much ... seems like US folks like web things :-) After all, found the bug SW00240706 at the Remedy Product Defects and status is Work in Progress. That seems to be what we are facing.

Unfortunately we can't do that with application fixes and therefore have to name specific Hotfix / KB entries which fix that behaviour and can then apply this specific patch. I was wondering if anyone has more insights on that error, or may even know which hotfix needs to be applied for fixing this RPC failure.

Re: email engine sending emails while disabled ?!?!
maybe I was not clear enough. The problem is that I don't want my email engine to be stopped. I'd like to get incoming emails. Therefore I would also like not to disable sendmail. What I would like is not sending outgoing emails. That was working fine for months. The email engine was running and only the Outgoing emails was disabled. I was getting incoming emails and nothing was sent out. The other day I noticed that the email engine was down. I started it while the Outgoing was still disabled. I could check this through the User tool. However people got emails from my platform. So my question is how can this be ? Is anybody aware of such problem with the email engine ? Has anybody experience such a curiosity ? Is there soemthing else to check in some config file ? Thansk for your feedback anyway.

Re: Page Field
Atul, Make the page holder wider? Push some of the tabs into page holders on one or more of the outer page holder tabs? Invent a workflow way to scroll throw the tabs by hiding the tab on the left and unhidding the next tab on the right? (and the reverse direction too) The GUI of multiple rows of tabs (and how they work) is a very inconsistent thing in the computing universe.

Re: Trouble with using AR System .NET API version 1.2.1761.15495
Title: Trouble with using AR System .NET API version 1.2.1761.15495 ** Peter, Qualifications in .NET API are SQL-like and are of same format/grammar as that of AR System Advanced Query bar in User Tool. One exception being User Tool handles qualifications expressed in terms of Field screen labels, where as other typical API programs including the .NET API work fool-proof way when qualifications are expressed in terms of field ids or field DB names (not the display labels). Following are 3 example qualifications: 1 = 2 SomeFieldName 3 AND 1 LIKE %David% 1 ($TIMESTAMP$ - (2 * 24 * 60 * 60)) Where 1 is a field id; SomeFieldName is the DB name of a field. As you can see field id/names are single quoted, string values are double quoted, the qualification can include computational expressions (like 2 * 24), can use AR supported keywords (with the syntax of $XXX$) and several conditions can be combined using AND/OR/NOT etc operators to build more complex qualifications. For comprehensive details on AR System qualifications, please refer to AR System documentation. Hope this helps.

Re: Signal 11 - a nightmare!!
arserverd is dying. Turn on the api and filter logs on and find out what the last call was before each crash. This shoudl give an indication. Find the easiest way to get the last event is to set the logs to create a backup, then just view the *.bak log file after the server comes back up. This can be from simple little things like misused currency fields, corrupted form defs, etc. The key is to find where it is happening and correct it.

Re: Signal 11 - a nightmare!!
Also set the parameters for logging server events in the admin tool. When it crashes it should push an entry into the server event form. From this you should be able to look up the event code in one of the manuals. Sorry I forget exactly which manual. It may assist with additional information. In my past experiences I have found 1) Workflow can cause this. Maybe direct SQL calls to the database. 2) I have also seen a bad network card causing an interruption in network connection. 3) I had one client that had an issue with a process that was running on the database Oracle that was locking the process and causing this to happen on a hourly and nightly basis. I know this is kind of vague, just things I have experienced. Herb ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org
Re: Signal 11 - a nightmare!!
Balaji, Are you using the Mid-Tier? I have stumbled into a condition for our dev server that could be what your seeing. Basically if an authenticated user (to the Mid-Tier) manages to re-authenticate in a strange way it can cause the ARS server to crash. The best way I can describe this would be something like the following (from what I have seen happen here.) 1) User logs in but home page fails to load completely. (unknown reason as to why.) 2) User refreshes browser and ends up at the Login page. 3) I see this my ARERR log: Thu Aug 10 16:16:03 2006 390620 : User is currently connected from another machine (ARERR 9084) Thu Aug 10 16:16:03 2006 Client already connected - username:LOGIN_NAME, client-type:Mid-tier, existing-IP:69ca2eeb5ef95374:132021a:107ddf0ccbb:-7f7f, new-IP:69ca2eeb5ef95374:132021a:107ddf0ccbb:-7f7e - Override is not allowed Thu Aug 10 16:16:03 2006 0 : AR System server terminated when a signal/exception was received by the server (ARNOTE 20) Thu Aug 10 16:16:03 2006 11 Thu Aug 10 16:17:20 2006 Dispatch : Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System server (ARSERVER_NAME (0) : RPC: Miscellaneous tli error - An event requires attentionNo message of desired type) ARERR - 90 Thu Aug 10 16:18:20 2006 Dispatch : Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System server (ARSERVER_NAME (0) : RPC: Miscellaneous tli error - An event requires attentionNo message of desired type) ARERR - 90 Thu Aug 10 17:17:04 2006 390620 : User is currently connected from another machine (ARERR 9093) Thu Aug 10 17:17:04 2006 Client already connected - username:LOGIN_NAME, client-type:Mid-tier, existing-IP:69ca2eeb5ef95374:132021a:107ddf0ccbb:-7f7d, new-IP:69ca2eeb5ef95374:132021a:107ddf0ccbb:-7f7f - User has Override option Maybe you see this just prior to the snip of log you sent?

Balaji, Are you using the Mid-Tier? I have stumbled into a condition for our dev server that could be what your seeing. Basically if an authenticated user (to the Mid-Tier) manages to re-authenticate in a strange way it can cause the ARS server to crash. The best way I can describe this would be something like the following (from what I have seen happen here.) 1) User logs in but home page fails to load completely. (unknown reason as to why.) 2) User refreshes browser and ends up at the Login page. 3) I see this my ARERR log: Thu Aug 10 16:16:03 2006 390620 : User is currently connected from another machine (ARERR 9084) Thu Aug 10 16:16:03 2006 Client already connected - username:LOGIN_NAME, client-type:Mid-tier, existing-IP:69ca2eeb5ef95374:132021a:107ddf0ccbb:-7f7f, new-IP:69ca2eeb5ef95374:132021a:107ddf0ccbb:-7f7e - Override is not allowed Thu Aug 10 16:16:03 2006 0 : AR System server terminated when a signal/exception was received by the server (ARNOTE 20) Thu Aug 10 16:16:03 2006 11 Thu Aug 10 16:17:20 2006 Dispatch : Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System server (ARSERVER_NAME (0) : RPC: Miscellaneous tli error - An event requires attentionNo message of desired type) ARERR - 90 Thu Aug 10 16:18:20 2006 Dispatch : Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System server (ARSERVER_NAME (0) : RPC: Miscellaneous tli error - An event requires attentionNo message of desired type) ARERR - 90 Thu Aug 10 17:17:04 2006 390620 : User is currently connected from another machine (ARERR 9093) Thu Aug 10 17:17:04 2006 Client already connected - username:LOGIN_NAME, client-type:Mid-tier, existing-IP:69ca2eeb5ef95374:132021a:107ddf0ccbb:-7f7d, new-IP:69ca2eeb5ef95374:132021a:107ddf0ccbb:-7f7f - User has Override option Maybe you see this just prior to the snip of log you sent?

Any success with ardisabled?
Hey folks - I'm about to upgrade from HD 5.5 to 5.6, and I'd like to save some time by using the 'ardisabled' utility to restore customizations to disabled workflow, but it doesn't work. I've searched the ARSList archives, and all I found were several other folks asking if anyone's gotten it to work, so I'm asking again: Has anyone gotten this seemingly useful utility to actually work? According to the doc, in prompt mode it's supposed to build a list of servers and ask me to select one. In fact, it prompts me for the server name, then reports A server name must be supplied in the control record (ARERR 150) Thanks, Ron Legters Tools Administrator Production Systems Services Univar USA Inc. 425.889.3952 Office 425.889.4111 Fax ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org
Error 623
Hey all, We are using Remedy 6.3 and have users authenticate to their Active Directory accounts and Windows domains by leaving the password fields in their User form blank. We have a user who cannot login to Remedy unless we supply a password into her password field in the User form. Everyong else logs in fine. Her A/D account appears perfectly normal on our system, so that doesn't appear to be the problem. When she tries to login when there's no password in her User profile, she gets Error 623: Authentication Failed. We had her change her password, and it's not working at all with Remedy, though she can login to other parts of our system with her A/D account with no problem. Has anybody experienced this before and found any causes? Thanks, Mark ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org

Re: MidTier 6.3 Windows 2003 - RPC Procedure unavailable
Completely uninstall ServletExex and the mid-tier. Use the attached document to install ServletExec AS. Download the new version from the New Atlanta website. Install the mid-tier. When prompted for Select JSP Engine, select Other. It will not work unless you select other. I'm getting an error attaching the doc so I pasted it below. Hope it helps. Fixing Service Unavailable Error with Mid-Tier 6.3 Installation with ServletExec 5.6p06 on Windows 2003 with IIS 6.0. Categories: Administration MidTier Configuration ServletExec Windows2003 P R O B L E M --- - There have been a number of occurrences of IIS errors when running ServletExec ISAPI 5.6p06 with the Mid Tier 6.3 installation and IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003. To fix the problem, it may be necessary to install the ServletExec AS 5.0 before re-running the Mid-Tier installation. Some of the possible errors are as follows: Installation runs fine, but Service Unavailable message when resolving http://localhost Installation runs with error Servlet Exec configuration files were not found. Please refer to the installation guide for information on updating these manually. S O L U T I O N --- - First be sure to check that all permissions have been granted accordingly such that the guest Internet user and the Application Pool default user has read/write/execute permissions to the following directories. After making the changes, restart the IIS Admin service. 1. Default directory for scripts for IIS 6.0 normally c:\InetPub\Scripts 2. Installation directory for ServletExec AS normally c:\Program Files\New Atlanta\ ServletExec AS If your servername is TEST01, then your guest Internet User is typically IUSR_TEST01. Also, the Application Pool default user is typically NETWORK SERVICE. If your Windows Administrator has made changes, please see that person to figure whom these users are. If this doesnt resolve the issue, uninstall ServletExec 5.6 ISAP from the server. Then uninstall Remedy Mid-Tier from the server. Finally reboot the server. Download ServletExec AS for Windows from the New Atlanta website and install the application, using these instructions as a guide. 1. Click Next from Application Server Setup screen. 2. Choose Install a ServletExec AS Instance option. Click Next. 3. Read and Accept License Agreement. 4. Enter unique istance name for server. Default is fine. Write down for later step. 5. Choose Microsoft IIS or PWS on Setup Type screen. Click Next. 6. Install script will stop IIS Admin and dependent Services 7. Click Next and leave default port number unless instructed by Windows Admin 8. Confirm installation options and Click Next 9. Fill in password for Servlet Admin 10. Click Yes when asked Would you like to install ServletExec as a NT service? 11. Check log files in default c:\Program Files\New Atlanta\ServletExec AS\config\Install.log location, if necessary. After the installation, before restarting the IIS Service and/or rebooting, you need to manually add the appropriate permissions as described in the beginning of this document. Also, you will need to manually configure the ServletExec service to start automatically. Reboot. Now you have to configure the ServletExec AS engine. 1. Verify Servlet Exec is running (not necessary) http://localhost/servlet/TestServlet 2. Start the ServletExec Administration Console: http://localhost/servletexec/admin/login.jsp 3. Click License under General heading in left frame. 4. Type NJQL6-EFB-FQ5BD in License Key field. 5. Click manage under Web Applications heading in left frame. 6. Click Add Web Application button. 7. Fill in the following fields with similar values depending on your installation. Leave other default values. a. Application Name=ARSYSTEM b. L URL Context Path=/arsys/ c. Location=C:\Program Files\AR System\Mid-Tier There are .bat files that start and stop ServletExec located in your Servlet Instance subdirectory. Normally this is located in C:\Program Files\New Atlanta\ServletExec\se-Instance_Name\ subdirectory, where the Instance Name is the value you put in Step 4 when installing ServletExec. 1. Add Xms and Xmx parameters to the beginning of the Java command inthe StartServletExec.bat file like it is below: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin\java -Xms16m -Xmx256m classpath . Reboot. Now you can install the Mid-Tier product and everything should work as expected. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org

Pushing values to the CTM:People Form
Hello everyone, I have recently created a vendor form which captures data out of Active Directory, using the ARDBC LDAP Plug-in. My next step is to take this data, and push it into the CTM:People Form. I have created the following Push Field Escalation: Push Value to: CTM:People Push Field if: $Request ID$ = 'Remedy Login ID' ($Request ID$ is my unique identifier which is mapped to userid) If No Requests Match: Create a New Request If Any Requests Match: Modify All Matching Requests I then proceed to map out the fields between my vendor form and the CTM:People Form. When the escalation runs, I receive no on screen errors, but in my log files I get Error while performing escalation action It is not very descriptive. I know I have scripted the escalation correctly because if I point it to a custom form rather than CTM:People, it populates no problem. I don't want to avoid the CTM:People form because every other workflow,form, etc in the system uses it. I'm also curious if people are populating their people table using a different method? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Remedy AR System 7.x Win 2003 Server Oracle 10g ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org
Re: Pushing values to the CTM:People Form
I know in 7 you have the ability to specify request_id's greater than 15 characters but I have not yet experienced it myself. Have you turned on filter logging to see what record it is matching at when it generates the error? If you find that it is erroring on the same record you may try pulling that record up in the user tool to see if you can find a problem with it. L. J.
