BOXI/Crystal Report Server 11 Location

2008-02-18 Thread Dwayne Martin
(IIS 6 web server on Win 2003, Business Objects/Crystal XI)

Hello Everyone,

I know this was stupid, so please don’t rub it in, but I reinstalled Mid-Tier 
without writing down the configuration.  Consequently I can’t get Crystal 
Reports to print over the web.

Specifically, what do I put under “BOXI/Crystal Report Server 11 Location”?

Our server address is https://remedy.jmu.edu.;

Right now I have “https://remedy.jmu.edu/businessobjects/Enterprise11”, but 
when I try to display a report I get “The page cannot be found.”

(The report is launched from a button which calls an active link which displays 
a report in the Report form.)

FW: C API for ARDBC Plug-in

2008-02-18 Thread Paulo Moreira
Hello all,

 

Can someone please provide me with some real-life samples on how to
(properly) write a C ARDBC Plug-in for Remedy (I've also tried
getemployeedata.c) ?

So far I've read the C-API-Ref-710, used the ardbcskl.c and headers from
the samples directory and implemented the ARDBCGetListSchemas method
successfully. 

I'm having trouble implementing the ARDBCGetMultipleFields method, which
is not showing all the fields I insert to the array
mapping-mappingList. Only the first one is shown.

 

Please find below the source I'm trying to use:

 

ARPLUGIN_EXPORT int ARDBCGetMultipleFields(

void  *object,  /* IN; plug-in instance */

ARCompoundSchema  *schema,  /* IN; form containing the data */

ARFieldMappingList *mapping,/* OUT; list of fields */

ARFieldLimitList  *limit,   /* OUT; corresponding field limits */

ARUnsignedIntList *dataType,/* OUT; corresponding data types */

ARStatusList  *status   /* OUT; status of the operation */

)

{

  FILE * pFile;

  pFile = fopen (myfile.txt,a);

 

   if (schema-schemaType == AR_SCHEMA_VENDOR 

   strcmp(schema-u.vendor.tableName, FORM_NAME) == 0)

   {

  mapping-numItems = 3; 

 

  mapping-mappingList =

 (ARFieldMappingStruct *) malloc(sizeof(ARFieldMappingStruct) *

 mapping-numItems); 

if (mapping-mappingList == NULL) return AR_RETURN_ERROR;

 

  mapping-mappingList[0].fieldType = AR_FIELD_VENDOR;

  strcpy(mapping-mappingList[0].u.vendor.fieldName, file_id); /*
this is shown OK */

  mapping-mappingList[1].fieldType = AR_FIELD_VENDOR;

  strcpy(mapping-mappingList[1].u.vendor.fieldName, file_name);
/* this is not */

mapping-mappingList[2].fieldType = AR_FIELD_VENDOR;

  strcpy(mapping-mappingList[2].u.vendor.fieldName, file_date);

 

if (pFile!=NULL)

  fprintf (pFile, -//-\r\n);

  /* all these fields appear filled in on the log file

}

Re: BOXI/Crystal Report Server 11 Location

2008-02-18 Thread William Rentfrow
Wow, I actually know the answer to this.  But it depends on a few
things..

First: Are you are running the mid-tier on the same box?

Second: Did you configure the ARWebReportViewer? (see mid-tier docs)

Third: What JSP engine are you using?

Fourth: The report location refers to the report location on the box.
You need to have a valid virtual directory configured for this location
but the actual location is the full local path to files (e.g.,
C:\Program Files\ etc etc etc).

Re: 4.5 Docs

2008-02-18 Thread LJ LongWing
Thank you Tim Powell for the copy, much appreciated.  Now for the real
question.  I have a 4.5.2 server that for various reasons, can't be
upgraded.  We are looking to enable LDAP authentication.  This is on
Solaris.  Looking at the docs it says if you do xref blank password it will
look in /etc/passwd file.  When I look at the Programmers Guide it says that
AREA is supported, you just need to write it yourself.  My question is
this.  If I enable LDAP authentication on my Solaris server, will that cause
the remedy system to be LDAP enabled, or do I need to write (as the
programming guide suggests) my own API program to do this for me.  That
being said, does anyone have a 4.5.2 AREA program they would be willing to
share?

Re: arserver.exe Memory Usage 7.0.01

For the Oracle bulk fetch parameter:

Default Config (Oracle-Bulk-Fetch-Count: 50):
LoadDisplayInfoList: Loads 500 rows at a time
LoadFieldPermissions: Loads 50 rows at a time

Modified Config (Oracle-Bulk-Fetch-Count: 100):
LoadDisplayInfoList: Loads 500 rows at a time
LoadFieldPermissions: Loads 50 rows at a time

The Oracle-Bulk-Fetch-Count configuration parameter has no bearing on this
portion of the startup routine.

No difference at all.

 Remedy just needs to tune the startup of arserver.  That's kind of where
 the
 problem lies.

 start arserver
 ...
 - fetch 100 of 5 records from feild_dispprop (read 6mb of data and
 use
 20k)
  - process those 100 records
 - fetch next 100 of 5 records from feild_dispprop (read 6mb of data
 and
 use 20k)
  - process those 100 records
 - fetch next 100 of 5 records from feild_dispprop (read 6mb of data
 and
 use 20k)
  - process those 100 records
 ...

 No wonder it takes so long.  How about fetching all the data at once, the
 processing it serially, or even better, in parallel.  It is something that
 can be done, but the people at BMC have to be convinced that there is a
 benefit to the customers, and they probably have to be able to directly
 capitalize on it to get a direction from management, neither of which is
 probably going to happen.

That's rough when something goes wrong and users are breathing down your 
neck.  The best suggestion I can offer is to figure out what your team 
mate did by asking the guilty party. 

If for some reason that's not an option, first see if new fields were 
added and see if they only have administrative rights.  Next check that 
existing fields weren't modified.  Failing that enable logging for both 
active links and filters.  Search the log for the error message to see 
what workflow is giving the error message.  Check its runif qualification 
to see what's causing it to run.

CI Class for Virtual servers

2008-02-18 Thread Srikanth
Which CI class should be used for the tracking the virtual servers?

In our current environment(CMDB 2.0), we have the servers in the
Computer System CI.

We are planning to put the virtual servers into the Virtual System
Class and related them to the Hosted server(Computer System) using the
Dependency Relationship. Is this the correct way of representing the
virtual servers and their relationship.

In future, we plan to integrate with both Marimba and Topology
discovery. Is there anything extra, we need to consider keeping this
in view?

Please let me know your views.

Re: CI Class for Virtual servers

2008-02-18 Thread Drew Shuller

Sri,

We may have different business rules than you do, but our customer's 
philosophy is that since VMWare moves virtual servers at will depending on 
system resources, we'll count them all as just Servers.


If VMWARE isdynamically allocating resources, then how often would you 
have to run discovery on the virtual servers, and how long would that data 
be valid? You would be doing a lot of work to have a snapshot of your 
virtual server configuration that could change at any minute. It may be 
enough to know if a server is a host (by setting a menu on the 
ComputerSystem form) and then let the server admins find out the rest when they need to know it.


This also makes sense from a change control point of view in that, well, 
there's no change control the way our customer runs VMWARE. YMMV.

Incident-occupied alerts?

2008-02-18 Thread Joslin
I work for a university that just upgraded from Vantive to Remedy.  I
am by no means a programmer, just the person in charge of training my
group on the program.  I've figured out a quite a bit on my own
(macros, reminders, etc), but am stumped on this one.  We had a lot of
stuff configured for our team, so we're not using an out-of-the-box
version.  I haven't come across any literature for this, but figured
if anyone would know if this is possible, it's you guys!

Our current concern is this:  We previously used Vantive for case
management.  One of the few really nice things about Vantive was that
if someone else was in a particular case, and I opened that same case,
Vantive would immediately pop up an alert stating that someone else
had opened it first.  This was very useful, because I would then know
that any changes I made might not be saved if the other person in the
case changed it first.

In Remedy, however, there is no alert until you do try to save, and
all of your work is lost because the other person, unbeknownst to you,
was in the incident making changes.  Is there a way to program such an
alert?  If not, how do other users cope with this?  I know that for
alerts like Reminders, you have to program the notification in your
profile.  Is there something similar for incidents already being
viewed by someone else?

I hope this is appropriate use of this group.  Thanks in advance for
the advice!

Re: Escalations ARS 7.x

2008-02-18 Thread Heider, Stephen
On my wish list (for years), I want to be able to right-click any
escalation and select Run Now. Maybe in a later version of ARS.

 

You could create a separate regular form to hold your escalations
which has filters attached to it.  An escalation would then check this
small form every 1 minute to see if anything needs to be done. If so,
then the escalation would push a value to the Status field, which would
run the filters and update the schedule for the next run.

 

With your escalations in a separate form you could then test any
escalation by manually updating the Status field.

If that's the case I do agree that sucks especially if you have the need
to run that one time escalation over lets say 500 K records.. It would
be harder to design one in a minutes interval. The workaround would be
to create a flag that the escalation would set after its run on a
record..

** Apparently there is a change to the way Escalations execute
in ARS 7.x. In previous versions of ARS, going back MANY years, when you
created an escalation which runs on an interval - it would execute upon
saving it and then on the interval. In version 7.1 the escalation will
not execute immediately but will wait until the interval time to
execute. While I can appreciate that people might want to wait until the
interval time has expired before running the escalation I wish that
Remedy would have made it an option, I want it to run immediately so I
can test the results. I realize I can set a short interval, test the
results, then reset the interval but in many cases I only want to run
the escalation once to clean up data, in which case I would set the
interval to 99 days (just in case I get side tracked , I still have 99
days to turn off the escalation).

Time Based Incident Template Creation

2008-02-18 Thread Jase Brandon
Hello All,
ARS 7.0.01
SQL Server 2005

The chief just stopped by and asked me if we could have Incident Templates
created based on time.
Ex. Automatically have an incident created the first Monday of every month
to reboot the server, etc.

My first thought is an escalation of some kind, but when I look at the
Incident templates there is nothing time related.
I thought somebody on the list has probably already done this or may have a
good starting point, etc.

Re: Incident-occupied alerts?

2008-02-18 Thread Gayford, Matthew C.
Hello and welcome to the list!

At my organization, we have all of our cases assigned to individuals so
that seems to take care of the problem. The way the workflow is set up
allows a case to be assigned to a group and then someone from that group
can pick up the case. Alternatively, a case can be assigned directly to
an individual and only the owner can modify it. That way the problem
doesn't get out of control.

I'm not aware of any programmatic change that can be made to prevent
this from happening but I hope the above helps.

Re: Time Based Incident Template Creation

That should probably be a Change Template, Jase, since the process should at
some point go through an approval process.

I was on a project that built something like that from scratch once, before
ITSM 7, though.  Think through all the ways you could use recurring changes,
and then see what functionality already exists in that module (if you have
it).  If you just have Incident, you'll have to build it, but it can
certainly be done.

Definitive Software Library

2008-02-18 Thread strauss
I am obviously missing something here.

DSL 1.0.00 is installed with ITSM 7.0.02, specifically Change Management
I believe.  It's console appears on my Home Page as an admin.
The Patch 1516 installer runs fine against it.  On production I have not
loaded updated data, or imported any data yet since we had been debating
whether or not to do so.  Now I want to load data, but need to patch it
first.  Development is an older system, upgraded to ARS 7.1.00.01 and
CMDB 2.1.00, on which DSL data has been loaded and updated several
times.

In Share:Application_Properties it shows version 1.0.00 Patch 1516 on
both servers.

The documentation for DLS 7.0 Patch 005 and DSL 7.1.01 mirrors this,
that it should have installed with the ITSM 7.0 installation of Change
Management.  It says to apply Patch 005 to the DSL.

When I run Patch 005 for DSL on my development or production (ARS
7.1.00.001 / CMDB 2.1.00.001 / ITSM 7.0.02.007) servers, it fails after
reporting that the three ITSM apps are installed (IM, PM, CM, all
7.0.03.007) with the error:

Pre-requisites not met
BMC Remedy Definitive Software Library Version 7.00.00 or higher is
required.

At what point in loading the latest version of every piece of BMC code I
could scavenge off support web did I NOT get it to the point where it
thinks it has DSL 7.0.x??   Or is this one of those installers than
only works against an older code base, which means that I would have had
to install it back in December before ITSM Patch 006 or CMDB 2.1.00.001
(January)??  Anyone have any experience with this one??

Re: URGENT: Need help on Error loading preference from server

2008-02-18 Thread Leonard Neely - FOJ
Hi Elinore,

I don't see a direct relationship with the error messages you are receiving,
and the instructions in the thread you have identified.  The thread talks
about removing data only, while the error you are receive indicates the non
existence of fields on the current form.  Also, I see that the thread is
about three weeks old.

Here are my questions:
1. Are you using a Preference Server?  And if so, is it a different server
than the AR Server that you are logging into?

2.Have there been any other modification to your environment since
truncating the data?

3. Did you discover the Mid-Tier problem immediately after truncating the
data? 

4. Do ALL of your Mid-Tier users get this error?

Any additional details you may be able to provide would be helpful.

Re: URGENT: Need help on Error loading preference from server

2008-02-18 Thread Elinore AR
Hi,

 1. Are you using a Preference Server?  And if so, is it a different server
 than the AR Server that you are logging into?

The preference server is the same as the AR Server we are logging in
to

 2.Have there been any other modification to your environment since
 truncating the data?

We did not know of any modification to environment since the data was
truncated. The DB was restarted, then the App then the Mid-Tier. But
no other changes other than that CC

 3. Did you discover the Mid-Tier problem immediately after truncating the
 data?

Truncating ended at around Feb 17, 4PM CST, users started experiencing
the problem at Feb 18, 9:20AM CST

 4. Do ALL of your Mid-Tier users get this error?

So far, all the users we tried logging in on the Mid-Tier is getting
this error. However, this does not occur on the Client Tool.

 Any additional details you may be able to provide would be helpful.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there on ARS 5.01.01 (patch
1232) that can send us a def file of their Remedy User Preference
form? The fields look like they have been removed but I do not have
any comparison (bad practice, we only have 1 environment both for our
Dev and Prod)

Many thanks in advance!

Elinore

I am with you but, you may need also to specify once, a definite number
of times or always.

On my wish list (for years), I want to be able to right-click any
escalation and select Run Now. Maybe in a later version of ARS.
 
You could create a separate regular form to hold your escalations
which has filters attached to it.  An escalation would then check this
small form every 1 minute to see if anything needs to be done. If so,
then the escalation would push a value to the Status field, which would
run the filters and update the schedule for the next run.
 
With your escalations in a separate form you could then test any
escalation by manually updating the Status field.

If that's the case I do agree that sucks especially if you have the need
to run that one time escalation over lets say 500 K records.. It would
be harder to design one in a minutes interval. The workaround would be
to create a flag that the escalation would set after its run on a
record..

** Apparently there is a change to the way Escalations execute
in ARS 7.x. In previous versions of ARS, going back MANY years, when you
created an escalation which runs on an interval - it would execute upon
saving it and then on the interval. In version 7.1 the escalation will
not execute immediately but will wait until the interval time to
execute. While I can appreciate that people might want to wait until the
interval time has expired before running the escalation I wish that
Remedy would have made it an option, I want it to run immediately so I
can test the results. I realize I can set a short interval, test the
results, then reset the interval but in many cases I only want to run
the escalation once to clean up data, in which case I would set the
interval to 99 days (just in case I get side tracked , I still have 99
days to turn off the escalation).

Re: 4.5 Docs

2008-02-18 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi L.J.,

The server will not look in the /etc/password file, but rather use the OS
to verify the password and user name. If the username is recognized as a
unix-user, and you can set up Solaris to verify the password against LDAP,
you will have no need of writing an AREA-plugin.

There is an AREA-LDAP-plugin sample shipped in some versions of the AR
System. This was a couple of versions before the LDAP-integration became
supported.

Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se

 Thank you Tim Powell for the copy, much appreciated.  Now for the real
 question.  I have a 4.5.2 server that for various reasons, can't be
 upgraded.  We are looking to enable LDAP authentication.  This is on
 Solaris.  Looking at the docs it says if you do xref blank password it
 will
 look in /etc/passwd file.  When I look at the Programmers Guide it says
 that
 AREA is supported, you just need to write it yourself.  My question is
 this.  If I enable LDAP authentication on my Solaris server, will that
 cause
 the remedy system to be LDAP enabled, or do I need to write (as the
 programming guide suggests) my own API program to do this for me.  That
 being said, does anyone have a 4.5.2 AREA program they would be willing to
 share?

Re: FW: C API for ARDBC Plug-in

2008-02-18 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

To write a general ARDBC-plugin that supports everything, is quite a task.

You have problems of mapping forms, field and datatypes, as well as the
nice ARQualifierStruct into something you can use against your external
data source.

If you limit the functionality to a few specific things (forms/fields) and
also limit the search capabilities, it is easier.

Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se

 Hello all,



 Can someone please provide me with some real-life samples on how to
 (properly) write a C ARDBC Plug-in for Remedy (I've also tried
 getemployeedata.c) ?

 So far I've read the C-API-Ref-710, used the ardbcskl.c and headers from
 the samples directory and implemented the ARDBCGetListSchemas method
 successfully.

 I'm having trouble implementing the ARDBCGetMultipleFields method, which
 is not showing all the fields I insert to the array
 mapping-mappingList. Only the first one is shown.



 Please find below the source I'm trying to use:



 ARPLUGIN_EXPORT int ARDBCGetMultipleFields(

 void  *object,  /* IN; plug-in instance */

 ARCompoundSchema  *schema,  /* IN; form containing the data */

 ARFieldMappingList *mapping,/* OUT; list of fields */

 ARFieldLimitList  *limit,   /* OUT; corresponding field limits */

 ARUnsignedIntList *dataType,/* OUT; corresponding data types */

 ARStatusList  *status   /* OUT; status of the operation */

 )

 {

   FILE * pFile;

   pFile = fopen (myfile.txt,a);



if (schema-schemaType == AR_SCHEMA_VENDOR 

strcmp(schema-u.vendor.tableName, FORM_NAME) == 0)

{

   mapping-numItems = 3;



   mapping-mappingList =

  (ARFieldMappingStruct *) malloc(sizeof(ARFieldMappingStruct) *

  mapping-numItems);

 if (mapping-mappingList == NULL) return AR_RETURN_ERROR;



   mapping-mappingList[0].fieldType = AR_FIELD_VENDOR;

   strcpy(mapping-mappingList[0].u.vendor.fieldName, file_id); /*
 this is shown OK */

   mapping-mappingList[1].fieldType = AR_FIELD_VENDOR;

   strcpy(mapping-mappingList[1].u.vendor.fieldName, file_name);
 /* this is not */

 mapping-mappingList[2].fieldType = AR_FIELD_VENDOR;

   strcpy(mapping-mappingList[2].u.vendor.fieldName, file_date);



 if (pFile!=NULL)

 {

   fprintf (pFile, -//-\r\n);

   fprintf (pFile, %s\r\n,
 mapping-mappingList[0].u.vendor.fieldName);

   fprintf (pFile, %s\r\n,
 mapping-mappingList[1].u.vendor.fieldName);

   fprintf (pFile, %s\r\n,
 mapping-mappingList[2].u.vendor.fieldName);



   /* all these fields appear filled in on the log file
 I'm creating at runtime */

 }



   limit-numItems = 3;



   limit-fieldLimitList =

  (ARFieldLimitStruct *) calloc(limit-numItems,

sizeof(ARFieldLimitStruct));



   if (limit-fieldLimitList == NULL)   return AR_RETURN_ERROR;
