Re: Performance Issue with Active Links- Reg.,

Hello Vinod,

Last time I had this problem, I found that the OOTB Indexes on the Helpdesk
form had become corrupt.
You can check that in the database.

Murtuza.

Subject: Re: Performance Issue with Active Links- Reg.,

Vinod:
It makes sense that Helpdesk form's objects open relatively slower than
smaller forms'.

The question is whether 100 seconds is reasobable for your setup or not. No
way to judge that without details of what you mean by...

...from a remote machine

What do you mean by remote? What's the link between the client and the
server? Dialup, LAN, WAN? VPN?

You essentially need to think of the link between your client and the server
as a pipe with numerous links in series and figure out whether it's
choking...your client PC, your local network, remote network, server
(hardware, software setup, database)?

Use basic elimination techniques to rule out what is
*not* a problem and look at the remaining suspects more closely. For
example, if access through Remedy User from the same client PC is rather
fast, the network is likely not an issue. If access using Remedy admin on
the server itself is fast, then server side stuff including database is not
an issue. Also, is it slow for others in your local network..for others in
some other network? You get the idea. Another important question is whether
it suddenly become slow or it has always been like this. 

If you want listers to point out the suspect, you will need to post details
of you client PC, the network, the server hardware, the database details,
concurrent user load etc.

The last time I saw unusually slow opening of objects was when somebody had
hacked into the underlying database to change the last modified date of all
the objects and set them to some future date by mistake.
Very unusual issue, **most likely irrelevant to you**.

Sorry, I can't tell you exactly what the issue is in your environment. There
is no substitute to following basic troubleshooting steps.

Regards.

 Hi,
 We currently work on one of the customised HelpDesk application. 
 Whenever i open any active link of the HelpDesk form from a remote 
 machine, it takes around 90-100 seconds whereas when i open an 
 activelink of any other form in the same environment, it takes around 
 15 seconds.
 
 Taking 15 seconds for opening an object from a remote machine is 
 acceptable but 100 seconds is too high. I am trying to find out the 
 reason for the issue and i am looking for ways to improve the 
 performance, whenever i open the active links of our HelpDesk form.
 
 Please provide me with some insight/thoughts on what may be the reason 
 for such performance issue? Any suggestions or ideas for rectifying 
 the issue is highly appretiated.
 
 Server : ARSystem 6.3
 Admin Tool : 6.3 (Patch 20)
 
 THanks and Regards,

Re: Date/time field defaulting to 1/1/1970 while importing

2007-04-14 Thread Murtuza Bookwala
Hi Anoop,
 
I have found that opening the csv in MS excel sets the date format to the
Windows setting. This could be the cause of your problem.
Trying opening the csv in notepad and see the format.

Subject: Date/time field defaulting to 1/1/1970 while importing


** Listers,
 
On one of the custom forms, I have a date/time field with display type as
date. On the remedy client, if I set the  date format to dd/mm/ and
then import a record(using import tool), the date/time field defaults to
1/1/1970 for all the records imported. 
I then tried creating a date field and followed the same process as above
and when I imported the records, it works fine.It displays the expected
date.
 
However if I can change the date format on the client tool to mm/dd/,
then everything works fine. 
 
What could be the possible problem? Is this how the date/time field works or
am I missing any setting change.?
 
P.S On the import tool also date format is set to dd/mm/.
 
Thanks
Anoop.

Re: Cannot delete class from CMDB Class Manager

2007-04-14 Thread Murtuza Bookwala
Hello Terry,

There is a very good white paper on this in the Remedy KB.

But this order of deletions should do it:
1.  Entry from OBJSTR:Pending
2.  Entry from OBJSTR:Attributes
3.  Entry from OBJSTR:Class
4.  The actual forms BMC... And AST...

Subject: Cannot delete class from CMDB Class Manager

Hello everyone:

CMDB Version 1.1.0 Patch 004
Windows 2003 Server
Remedy ARS 6.3


Well, I thought I would go to the list for a little support on this one.  I
wanted to see if anyone had experienced this problem and/or solution before.

I am in the CMDB class manager on one of my environments and I tried to
delete a CMDB class which I had created earlier.  When I try to do this, I
get the following error message in the entry in the Class Manager Console
(The class is in a status of DELETE PENDING).

03/27/2007 8:10:08 AM Remedy Application Service Sync Class:
BMC:NAV_TestingClass
03/27/2007 8:10:08 AM Remedy Application Service
ERROR: 120002 Class does not exist. OB0003FFE4C39C_gsQRQwZCoBQOwAA

I've tried stopping/restarting the Remedy and the CMDB engine, but it
appears to be stuck.

This class inherits from BMC_ComputerSystem.  I have only added one
character attribute called TestField (Character field)

The following forms exist in the admin tool for this form:

AST:NAV_TestingClass
BMC:NAV_TestingClass
BMC:NAV_TestingClass_

At this point, I would like to know the series of forms that I would need to
delete this information from in order to remove this Class from my
environment.  I had been instructed by support to remove entries from
objstr:class, but that would leave several other entries in other forms
orphaned.

Can anyone out there give me a complete list of the forms for which I need
to delete the class definition attributes from if I want to COMPLETELY
remove this class from my environment?

Thanks..

Terry

P.S - This issue has been opened with support since March 29th with no
resolution to date

Upgrade to v6.3 and portmapper will not work - prod server down

2007-04-14 Thread Susan Palmer

I need some help !!!

I just did an upgrade from 5.1.2 to v6.3 on the way to 7.  But I cannot get
past 6.3 because I cannot get the portmapper to start.  I think part of the
problem is that it's pointing to an executeable that doesn't exist.  I
copied the v7 one from the dev server to the prod server but that doesn't
work either.

There's nothing in the doc or knowledge base about this at all.  When I try
to start the portmapper I get an error 913: oxc1

I've put a ticket in for support but I don't know if they will call to help
since we have m-f support.

I would greatly appreciate anyone's help on this.

Re: Upgrade to v6.3 and portmapper will not work - prod server down

2007-04-14 Thread GRogers
Susan,

I posted this a couple of weeks ago. The install was for SQL 2000 to 2005, but 
I thought I would post it anyway because of the correlation to the portmapper 
issue that you have encountered (step 9 specific). As for why 7 won't start, I 
didn't experience those issues going from 6.3 P21 to 7.01 P1:

Eric,

Is SQL 2005 supported for 6.03? I didn't think it was.

However,

I just went through several upgrades with a customer from 5.1.2 to 6.03 on 
several boxes, but this was under SQL 2000. But, I did do the same steps listed 
below when I took them from 6.0.3 to 7.0.1 with SQL 2005. I'm not sure of the 
order that everything was installed in your environment, but the procedure 
listed below has worked successfully for me, time and time again. Based on not 
knowing the steps that you have taken to get to this point, this would be my 
recommendation to follow if the ARSystem DB will even run on SQL 2005.

1) Start with SQL 2000 on the Dev Box.
2) Restore a good 5.1.2 2000 backup to it - Run the scripts tfserver etc. to 
remove server references, the command to change ownership of all forms / views 
to dbo, and then change the dbowner to ARAdmin.
3) Run the 6.0.3 (NO PATCH) Server install against the SQL 2000 DB.
4) Validate successful implementation by logging into the User Tool.
5) Backup ARSystem DB.
6) Uninstall SQL 2000
7) Install SQL 2005
8) Change dbowner back to ARAdmin - You might have to add that login first in 
the SQL 2005 Manager (I did).
9) Make sure you reboot your App Server before continuing - (There is a problem 
with the installer that I have been able to repeat. If you keep running the 
installers, something gets jacked up with the Portmap.exe. It is almost as 
though too many registry entries get created (not uninstalled / re-installed). 
If I reboot after running the installer twice, I will get an Explorer message 
upon reboot about the Portmap.exe dying. This will cause the Server to go out 
to lunch because it can't find the correct port mapper entry to use. Just FYI! 
- I have been able to reproduce this problem numerous times).
10) Run the 6.0.3 Patch 21 Server Install against  the SQL 2005 DB
11) Validate successful implementation by logging into the User Tool.

Thanks,

G. Rogers

Re: Upgrade to v6.3 and portmapper will not work - prod server down

2007-04-14 Thread Susan Palmer

Thanks for the input.  I think 6.3 has a problem with the portmapper.  There
was no portmap.exe with the install.

Haven't got a clue as to what the issue is.  I also notice that the
installer wanted to put the installation in a slightly different folder than
the 5.1.2 install.  It put another level there, the server name, then all
the files.  In effect you still have 5.1.2 installed but yet not installed
because the db has been updated.  I can connect to the db via sql tool, just
cannot get AR System to start.  Not giving up yet ... if I do a restore I
probably won't get another date for 6 months!

Thanks,,
Susan

2007-04-14 Thread GRogers
Susan,

If you have to backout of this and can't get 7 running today, I would suggest 
the following for the next pass:

1)   Upgrade ARS to 6.3 no patch under Oracle 9i
2)   Test for connectivity (User tool)
3)   Backup the 6.3 database
4)   Reboot APP and DB server
5)   Install ARS 6.3 Patch 21 (DST)
6)   Test for connectivity (User tool)
7)   Backup the 6.3 P21 database
8)   Reboot APP and DB server
9)   Install ARS 7.0 (NO PATCH - I know patch 1 of 7.0 has email issues)
10) Test for connectivity (User tool)
11) Backup the 7.0 database
12) Uninstall Oracle 9i / Install 10g or Upgrade.
13) Restore 7.0 database
14) Enter any commands to change DB ownership.
15) Reboot APP and DB server
16) Install ARS 7.0.1 Patch 1 (This will bring the DB into conformity with the 
new version)
17) Test for connectivity (User tool)

You can probably skip steps 1 - 4, but for the sake of flakiness between the 
installers, this has worked successfully for me and my customers. By following 
this process it might add an additional hour or two, but the results have been 
pain free.

Hope you get it going.

Thanks,

George

  Thanks for the input.  I think 6.3 has a problem with the portmapper.  There 
was no portmap.exe with the install.  

  Haven't got a clue as to what the issue is.  I also notice that the installer 
wanted to put the installation in a slightly different folder than the 5.1.2 
install.  It put another level there, the server name, then all the files.  In 
effect you still have 5.1.2 installed but yet not installed because the db has 
been updated.  I can connect to the db via sql tool, just cannot get AR System 
to start.  Not giving up yet ... if I do a restore I probably won't get another 
date for 6 months! 

  Thanks,,
  Susan

Susan,

I posted this a couple of weeks ago. The install was for SQL 2000 to 2005, 
but I thought I would post it anyway because of the correlation to the 
portmapper issue that you have encountered (step 9 specific). As for why 7 
won't start, I didn't experience those issues going from 6.3 P21 to 7.01 P1:

Eric,

Is SQL 2005 supported for 6.03? I didn't think it was.

However,

I just went through several upgrades with a customer from 5.1.2 to 6.03 on 
several boxes, but this was under SQL 2000. But, I did do the same steps listed 
below when I took them from 6.0.3 to 7.0.1 with SQL 2005. I'm not sure of the 
order that everything was installed in your environment, but the procedure 
listed below has worked successfully for me, time and time again. Based on not 
knowing the steps that you have taken to get to this point, this would be my 
recommendation to follow if the ARSystem DB will even run on SQL 2005. 

1) Start with SQL 2000 on the Dev Box.
2) Restore a good 5.1.2 2000 backup to it - Run the scripts tfserver etc. 
to remove server references, the command to change ownership of all forms / 
views to dbo, and then change the dbowner to ARAdmin. 
3) Run the 6.0.3 (NO PATCH) Server install against the SQL 2000 DB.
4) Validate successful implementation by logging into the User Tool.
5) Backup ARSystem DB.
6) Uninstall SQL 2000
7) Install SQL 2005
8) Change dbowner back to ARAdmin - You might have to add that login first 
in the SQL 2005 Manager (I did).
9) Make sure you reboot your App Server before continuing - (There is a 
problem with the installer that I have been able to repeat. If you keep running 
the installers, something gets jacked up with the Portmap.exe. It is almost as 
though too many registry entries get created (not uninstalled / re-installed). 
If I reboot after running the installer twice, I will get an Explorer message 
upon reboot about the Portmap.exe dying. This will cause the Server to go out 
to lunch because it can't find the correct port mapper entry to use. Just FYI! 
- I have been able to reproduce this problem numerous times). 
10) Run the 6.0.3 Patch 21 Server Install against  the SQL 2005 DB
11) Validate successful implementation by logging into the User Tool.

Thanks,

G. Rogers

  Well ... went ahead and did the v7.0.1P1 install and it cured the 
portmapper problem.  Now the ARS server won't start.  There were no errors in 
the install log until the very end when it was trying to start the service.  I 
find it somewhat humorous that it asks you to do 

Showing related records.

2007-04-14 Thread Congo
Hello,
Ive got 2 tables, lets say A and B

First one holds some records added manually
On the second I'd like to have all records related to those from table
A
I think I need to loop over the table A , get each record ID and pass
it to the qualification on table B.

First thing: my actl guide doesnt seem to work correctly, it always
gives me only one ID (Table loop Selected Rows checkbox is unchecked)
Second thing: how to pass the obtained ID to the Table B to use it
with the qualification.

Any advices are welcome.
Thanks.
