Re: Displaying login.jsp out of Mid-Tier SOLVED

2008-04-02 Thread Dwayne Martin
As Carey says, the answer is very simple.  Unfortunately some of us have to try 
all sorts of complications before we find it.

To access the login page directly you go to:
http:///arsys/shared/login.jsp

So you copy login.jsp to newname.jsp, then point your url to:
http:///arsys/shared/newname.jsp

Then you edit newname.jsp till you get it like you want it.

Thank you, Carey, and Vinod Suyal of Remedy Support for this solution, and 
Isabel for your help.

Re: Configuring JSpell with Mid-Tier 7.0.1 Patch 6

2008-04-02 Thread Craig Carter
We found the same problem when implementing it for the first time--the spelling 
of the function name was wrong and needed to be changed to "jspellcheck()" as 
you noted.  I'm amazed that hasn't been fixed.

We're on v7.0.1 P5 with ServletExec and we haven't noticed the problem with it 
not using the correct text but we haven't looked for this specific problem.  We 
have noticed it doesn't seem to work properly if you have more than one midtier 
and are trying to call it from the other midtier server.  The form pops up and 
looks correct but the buttons don't function, etc.  As long as it is hosted on 
the same server, it works fine.

We're also looking at a way to make the header code dynamic so we don't have to 
have the URL hard-coded (due to the problem above).  Storing the file on the 
server and including it somehow would be nice.  If anyone has figured out a way 
to dynamically change the header code stored in the Remedy form, please share.

Subject: Re: Configuring JSpell with Mid-Tier 7.0.1 Patch 6

All,
I finally got this fixed. I am on ARS and MT 7.1

As per the documentation, the function is called spellcheck() but I
scanned thru the jspell.js file and was unable to locate that
function.

It seems that in the future versions OR in the non-IIS versions of the
Java HTML, the function is called jspellcheck().

Another thing which i noticed was that, JSpell worked fine for records
which had been saved. It also works fine for records which have been
modified and not yet saved. But for some reason, once you save the
record, the text field reverts back to the incorrect text field.

e.g. I have text field called Description and has the text "I like". I
modify that recrod [and not Save] and change the text to "I like wrld"
and hit my custom spellcheck button. JSpell is invoked and it corrects
the word "wrld" to "world" in the text area.
However, once I save that record, "I like wrld" is written to the
database.

Has any one of you faced this issues [if its even an issues] ?

Thanks Brian. What you've said appears to make sense, as some of the
records list a total time spent of 330,000+ hours, which comes out to
over 37 years. That would put us in 2007 which would make sense for some
of these tickets. The strange part is that only about 200 or so of the
tickets have these strange dates and the rest are fine.

2008-04-02 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

Try this:
echo "$Field$" >/tmp/test.txt

The problem is if you have any "-characters in your data. You can escape
them with a Set-fields:
Field = REPLACE($Field$, , "'")

There is also a size limit on the "expanded" command containing your data.
I think it is 1024 or 4096 bytes...

Someone with more UNIX expertise should be able to verify this, but I
believe you just need to use the ">" function, as follows:
Run Process $Filed1$ > test.txt

if you wanted to sepecify a path for the file try this:

Bringing in multiple Views during Prefetch

2008-04-02 Thread Ivan Runions
The Prefect script in 7.1 makes no comment on multiple Views for a 
form.  Is this because  all views for the form are prefetched... or only 
the default view?


I have ARS Support claiming all views are prefetched, but my experience 
indicates only the default view.  I have no concrete proof other than 
just witnessing the time it takes to open each view after the prefetch 
is finished.

Nope.  Nothing - I checked that as wellthe longest SQL statement
takes about 0.0176 seconds to complete in the entire log and during this
time there's no activity.
 
There's literally NOTHING going on - at least none of the log files
indicate anything is going on during this time.  There's zero activity.

Run Process Help

2008-04-02 Thread versicle
Hi All,

So I'm trying to run the command: 

copy C:\sample1.txt \\ACNCNU6250FVX\CABMACH4

via cmd.exe The syntax I have for the Run Process is:

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c copy "C:\sample1.txt \\ACNCNU6250FVX\CABMACH4"

The only thing that is happening is a cmd window opens and then closes. Is
my syntax correct? If not any ideas on where I went wrong?

Thanks,

Mike

Unfortunately there's nothing in the API log to show - it calls +CE on
HPD:Help Desk to create the entry - the next item in the API log is
after the entry is created.  That's a 39 second stretch during which the
filter items I mentioned are occurring.
 
The snippet below is directly from the filter log - these lines are
consecutive - I just shaved off the beginning parts of the lines in my
original post for readability.
 
The two consecutive entries from the arfilter log are verbatim below:
 
   
  /* Tue Apr 01 2008 11:08:00.5076 */ End of filter processing
(phase 1) -- Operation - CREATE on SYS:Action -

Re: BMC Service Desk vs Service Desk Express

2008-04-02 Thread Rick Cook
I would say that it will not work in the same way.  AR System, upon which
Service Desk is built, is a very flexible engine to integrate with.  I would
bet that whatever third-party tool you're talking about could be integrated
with AR System, and therefore with Service Desk, with a small to moderate
level of effort.

I think you need to separate the parameter values to the copy command   
  %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c copy "C:\sample1.txt"
"\\ACNCNU6250FVX\CABMACH4"

I think the Copy command is only seeing 1 parameter an so does not know

Resolved: Definitive Software Library - Unresolved: SLM Notifications

2008-04-02 Thread strauss
It has only taken BMC support six weeks to answer this one (further
evidence that they cannot document their own software worth a flip), and
it turns out that patch 005 to the DSL was never intended to be used on
the DSL installed with ITSM, only the "standalone" version (which I had
never seen mentioned or documented before).  So the "workaround" they
gave me a month ago, where you hack the records in
Share:Application_Properties to allow the installer to run, should never
have been offered or performed; no wonder it left the DSL console
completely unusable on my dev server.  The same is true of patch 006 to
DSL, except that it gives you a much more specific and intelligent error
message when you try to run it.

So today, DSL installed with ITSM has a maximum patch level of 1516, and
only the _data_ should be at patch 005 (the data version in patch 005 is
110.7.0.1).

Beware of BMC employees bearing "workarounds" - chances are they are
really just clueless, and grasping at straws (not true for all; there
are a few I know I can trust).

Footnote: That is why I am holding out for a formal technical bulletin
or approved knowledge base article on their proposed workaround for SLM
notifications.  They want me to hack the HPD:Help Desk form to lookup
and store the long group name from the Groups form (for my group that
looks like this: UNT CITC Academic Computing and User Services->CITC
ACS-US Call Tracking->Call Tracking Administration) that corresponds to
the Assigned Group - Support Group Name and ID (SGP000#) because
their integration between SLM 7.1 and Incident Management cannot search
assigned support groups in CTM:Support Group for members, and so no
escalations are being sent at all to support group members or managers
(the entire purpose of the SLM application, from my point of view).  If
that is what they have to do to get SLM to work with IM, it _should_
have been in the integration, and if it wasn't, it _should_ have been
documented and already be in a patch, but none of that has been done.  I
am having to force them to document it, by refusing to let them just
toss me a barely coherent workaround, file a defect, and blithely close
the issue.  Shoddy, and unprofessional.

Incoming emails building up and crashing email engine.

2008-04-02 Thread npeterson
I am running ARS 7, and have it set up to receive incoming emails. What has
been going on is that when I look in the AR System Email Message I can see
that the incoming emails are building up, but never removing themselves.
After a large amount has built up the incoming email system quits accepting
these messages and incidents are no longer created off of the incoming
emails. If I delete what is in there and then restart the email service, all
pending emails are received and all incident are created. If I daily open up
AR System Email Messages and delete all incoming messages there is no
problem. When or Remedy consultants were out here I think I saw them work on
a form that should purge these incoming emails on a defined schedule,
however I cannot find that form. Can anyone comment on my issue, and help me
find that form name?

Thanks

I only retain incoming & error email for three days by running an
Archive Delete from Source on the Email Messages form. That should do it
for you. I run this once a day. If I remember correctly you have to
space the archives at least an hour apart.

I am on ARS 6.3 but I would think this should be the same.

Re: Mysterious gap in log files.

What about network delays?  Are you moving a large amount of data over the
network and that is causing the delay?  Just an idea.

Re: Mysterious gap in log files.

2008-04-02 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi!

Please provide us with the surrounding log lines with the full API-call
with all FLTR and SQL lines that belongs to that call.

The server performs various internal stuff at times, such as refreshing
the ar.cfg-file and throwing out inactive users. These type of thing may
show as SQL-rows if SQL is involved. Some of these things does not have an
RPC ID attached to them.

I would be surprised if this happens in the middle of your call. It should
be at the beginning or end of the API...

Did you have other users that performed things at the same time? It could
affect the responsiveness of the database. One such thing could be the
locking of the arschema table.

Stopping a runaway archive

2008-04-02 Thread Brittain, Mark
Hi All,

 

Is there a way to stop a runaway archive? I am getting to turn on
archiving for the company's main form using Archive and Delete from
Source. I have tested this in development to make sure my qualification
is correct. Just to see if it was possible, while the archive test was
running I went into the form and disabled archiving. The archiving did
not stop until the criteria was no longer met.

 

Hope the answer is not to shutdown the server.

 

Thanks

Mark

You can also use
cmd /c copy /-Y "c:\text.txt" "c:\text2.txt"

the cmd.exe should be already in the default path setting; so you can
use cmd directly; the (/-Y) switch adds a prompt to the copy function.
If ignored the copy function will overwrite the existing file or
create a new one with the name text2.txt

Question: SYS:Notification Messages - Adding NEW Field to pull down menu

2008-04-02 Thread T. Dee
I added a new field to SYS:Form Field Selection so it would show up in
the pull down menu 'email message body' on SYS:Notifcation Messages.
This worked - I now see "Change Request Status" in the pull down
'email message body'.

However, when I select it and save the record the notification goes
out, but all I see in the email is:

#Change Request Status#

The Notifcation Message Tag I am trying to modify is:

CHG-APR-ApprovalNTForIndividual

Any ideas why the field would not show up in the email?

THANKS

Re: Requester Console customization

2008-04-02 Thread strauss
We use Kinetic Request for that.  Some service items submit the
logged-in user as the customer/requester, while others allow the logged
in user to be entered as the the Contact person and submit someone else
as the customer/requester.  We used ARSPerl scripts to do the same in
the past, but ARSPerl no longer works properly with ARS 7.1 anyway.  You
would have to do a fairly major customization of the Requester Console
to get this kind of capability worked into it, and I would avoid that.
I do not know if BMC Service Request Management can do this because we
stopped evaluating it after seeing the pricing model.  In addition to
Kinetic Request, there are other non-BMC customer interfaces to ITSM on
the market already (like the one Gidd just mentioned), but they solve a
host of other customer self-service issues beyond just proxy ticket
entry, and should be examined in that wider context.

Menu Qualification Problem

2008-04-02 Thread Sokol, Brian
I have a menu that I am using to pull all the members of a Group. The
menu points to the User form and has a qualification of:

 'Group List' LIKE (( "%"  +  "1024" ) +  "%" )

This works for me as an admin but not for others. They get a no entries
in menu message which I assume is due to lack of permissions. They have
rights to the User form and the fields queried and displayed from the
User form. They also have permissions to the Group form and it's fields.


The Group ID is not listed in the Group List field in the User form. The
Group names are listed. If I change the query to use the group name then
it does not work for anyone. I am assuming Remedy does a translation of
the Group ID to Group name but I am not sure what permission is lacking
for this menu to work.

Product Catalog Data importing and relating to Company

2008-04-02 Thread haeyoon . lee
I just imported product catalog data to the PCT:Product Catalog form.

Now the only way I see to get this associated to the company is to
manually associate them through the Product Catalog setup form.
But that means I'll have to do this for 400 entries.

Is there an easier way to import this data with the company already
associated to it?

I'm sure there can be workflow created, but I'm looking for something
I don't have to spend weeks trying to figure out.

Issues with building a view over a DB Link

I have created a Oracle (10g) to MSSQL (2003) dblink, I am able to create
the view, but I get sever fields that retrun the error
"Failure during SQL operation to the database : ORA-00904: "ADDRESS1":
invalid identifier (ARERR 552)."
We are researching several possible issues, such as permissions, and the
build of the table that I am creating the view of.
One suggetion I found searching the list is to create the view in Oracle to

Re: Issues with building a view over a DB Link

2008-04-02 Thread Brian Goralczyk
Gary,

The short answer is yes a view of a view can be modified.  There are a
couple caviates here.

One. The request ID field in remedy.  I suspect from your error message that
you have the address1 column matched to column 1 on the view form.  even
with view forms, Remedy needs a unique identifier field, like the request
ID.

Two.  You have to make sure that the link is setup for you to be able to
write to the table from your oracle database.

Basically, if it can be done in the database, then you can make Remedy do it
very easily.
HTH,

Brian Goralczyk

Hi Listers,

I am facing the problem of AR Server getting crashed, when i delete the
Global Product categorisation data through Product Catalog Setup form(using

This action kills the arserver process. What might be the reason behind

The field mentioned in the error is not the key, the field we have

Re: Issues with building a view over a DB Link

2008-04-02 Thread Pierson, Shawn
What I've had to do in the past in a similar situation is to have the
view form referencing a view on my DB that was using a linked server.
If you get that part, you can at least see the data.



However, if you have issues modifying or submitting the data,
unfortunately the next best solution is to build active links on buttons
that run SQL commands for insert and update.



Thanks,

Re: Issues with building a view over a DB Link

2008-04-02 Thread Brian Goralczyk
I queried the error on google and came up with a bit from someone else.  The
amusing part is that they state that Oracle claims that the error doesn't
happen in 10g which caused me to immediately check and notice you are on.
So I file that under interesting.

Personally, I would first make the database view in your database to the one
that you are connecting.  Make sure that everything works that way.  Then
you have the choice of either creating the view form and attaching to your
view or attempting to create the same process that your view is creating.
One note of caution.  If you create your view, you CAN NOT use the same name
as the view form.  And vice versa, you CAN NOT create a view form with the
same name as a view that was created in the database.  Remedy tries to
create a database view to match the form and errors out.

I have included the piece that the individual wrote, mostly cause it amuses
me with the contridiction.  It came from this site..
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_00904_string_invalid_identifier.htm

"

The Oracle docs note this on the ora-00904 error*:



*ORA-00904 string: invalid identifier*
 *Cause:* The column name entered is either missing or invalid.
*Action:*Enter a valid column name. A valid column name must begin
with a letter, be
less than or equal to 30 characters, and consist of only alphanumeric
characters and the special characters $, _, and #. If it contains other
characters, then it must be enclosed in double quotation marks. It may not
be a reserved word.

*According to Oracle documentation, ORA-00904 does not occur in Oracle 10g

When ORA-00904 occurs, you must enter a valid column name as it is either
missing or the one entered is invalid.

To avoid ORA-00904, column names cannot be a reserved word, and must contain
these four criteria to be valid:

   - begin with a letter
   - be less than or equal to twenty characters
   - consist only of alphanumeric and the special characters ($_#); other
   characters need double quotation marks around them

Another important factor in correcting ORA-00904 is remembering to run
catproc.sql

You can also check your trace file to find the particular error which is
causing the ORA-00904 to occur. "

Brian,
I saw this also and sent it to my DBA, he found it interesting also.  The
only quick explanation we could come up with is that something is happening
to the Column Name in translation via the DBLink.  Now this has one flaw,
and that is the fact that the field that do not error have very similar
names, like Address1 errors but Address2 does not.

We are working on the process of building the view in oracle and then the
view in Remedy, I will keep in mind the naming issue you mentioned.

You know, I am wonderingSometimes I have seen Oracle return the wrong
piece of code for the error.  Is there any field on the list that might be a
reserved word for Oracle?  Were you going with just the error, or did you
turn on server sql logging and capture the sql code that Remedy was
generating?  That might help you identify where the actual error is.  as
well as it should help your dba create the view.

Re: Product Catalog Data importing and relating to Company

2008-04-02 Thread Leonard Neely - FOJ
You haven't mentioned your app version, but I assume it is ITSM 7.

 

Here are two options:

 

 

1.  If all your Product Categories will be associated with a single
company.

*   Import the same source file into the "PCT-ProductCompanyAssoc" form,
mapping only the following fields:

*   Product Categorization Tier 1
*   Product Categorization Tier 2
*   Product Categorization Tier 3
*   CI Type
*   Company (Map with a static value representing your single company
name)
*   Status (Map with a static value of Enabled if this value does not
exist in your source file)

2.   If your Product Categories will be associated with multiple
companies.

a.  Use your original source file (Spreadsheet), and add a "Company"
column.
b.  Populate the new company column with the appropriate values.
c.  Import the modified source file into the "PCT-ProductCompanyAssoc"
form, mapping only the following fields:

* Product Categorization Tier 1

* Product Categorization Tier 2

* Product Categorization Tier 3

* CI Type

* Company 

* Status (Map with a static value of Enabled if this value does not
exist in your source file)

 

Note: If all of your Product Categorization was to be associated with ALL of
your companies, you could have simply set the "Map to Global" field to "Yes"
on your original import, which would have automatically created global
associations.

Katherine, 

Having these values missing in the Member List field is definitely a
problem that caused the Approval process to fail. 

The safest way to fix it - by removing and re-creating your few
approvers from the person's profile role.

However, it could also be done in the AP:Role record directly if you
feel comfortable.

Re: Menu Qualification Problem

2008-04-02 Thread Carey Matthew Black
Brian,

The 'Group List' field is a *special* field. I suggest you do a report
of that column into an ARX file to really see what data is in the
field and how it is structured. ( BTW: I think your menu qualification
should really be more like this... [ 'Group List' LIKE (( "%;"  +
"1024" ) +  ";%" ) ] )

However the permission issue has only to do with the User form. Your
users likely do not have access to all rows in the User form. (And
they likely should not be granted this access either. IMHO) Check
permissions on Field ID 1, and the 'Group List' field and any other
field in the Menu qualification. If the users have access to Field 1
and 'Group List' then the menu should work for them as well as it
works for any one else.

Re: Product Catalog Data importing and relating to Company

Hi all,
Is this the filter you are talking about
PCT:PDC:CreateDefaultGlobalCompanyAssoc_795_PPDA?

Because I see this filter fires only in the Submit and not in merge

If I remember right there's a filter on the PCT:Product Catalog form
that
associates the record to the global company.
Set the filter to fire on merge and all will be ok.

I just imported product catalog data to the PCT:Product Catalog form.

Now the only way I see to get this associated to the company is to
manually associate them through the Product Catalog setup form.
But that means I'll have to do this for 400 entries.

Is there an easier way to import this data with the company already
associated to it?

I'm sure there can be workflow created, but I'm looking for something
I don't have to spend weeks trying to figure out.

Re: Product Catalog Data importing and relating to Company

2008-04-02 Thread Saravanan Palaniappan

Hi All,

Related to the Product Company Association I have an issue. By following
the second option I have imported the data.

It seems that the Product categorizations are not populating as
expected.

The Reason I found out was
SHR:SHR:UpdateGroupList-CompanyReinitialize-G_565 which is shared
workflow has got the RUN IF qualification as 

( 'z1D Action' =  "UPDATEGROUPLIST" ) AND (NOT (( 'Company' =  "- Global
-" ) AND (($SCHEMA$ =  "CFG:Broadcast" ) OR ($SCHEMA$ =
"CFG:ProductCompanyAssociation" ) OR ($SCHEMA$ =  "CFG:Service Catalog
Assoc" ) OR ($SCHEMA$ =  "CHG:CFG Calendar Qualification" ) OR ($SCHEMA$
=  "CFG:GenericCompanyModuleAssoc" ) OR ($SCHEMA$ =  "CFG:Decision Tree"
) OR ($SCHEMA$ =  "CFG:Decision Tree-Branch" ) OR ($SCHEMA$ =
"SLM:CFG-SurveyTemplate" 

But if you look closely there is no form called
CFG:ProductCompanyAssociation" . So I have changed it to
PCT:.ProductCompanyAssociation.

My Problem is since I have not changed this Run if qualification before
my import these work flow have fired in MERGE and Made the Assignee
group field to NULL

What will be the best option to put this Assignee Group to yes in the
already existing record? I have tried deleting the records and try to
import it again. This doesn't help as the server crashes during the
delete activity.

Please advise a way forward ..

You haven't mentioned your app version, but I assume it is ITSM 7.

 

Here are two options:

 

 

1.  If all your Product Categories will be associated with a single
company.

*   Import the same source file into the
"PCT-ProductCompanyAssoc" form, mapping only the following fields:

*   Product Categorization Tier 1
*   Product Categorization Tier 2
*   Product Categorization Tier 3
*   CI Type
*   Company (Map with a static value representing
your single company name)
*   Status (Map with a static value of Enabled if
this value does not exist in your source file)

2.   If your Product Categories will be associated with multiple
companies.

a.  Use your original source file (Spreadsheet), and add a
"Company" column.
b.  Populate the new company column with the appropriate
values.
c.  Import the modified source file into the
"PCT-ProductCompanyAssoc" form, mapping only the following fields:

* Product Categorization Tier 1

* Product Categorization Tier 2

* Product Categorization Tier 3

* CI Type

* Company 

* Status (Map with a static value of Enabled if this value does
not exist in your source file)

 

Note: If all of your Product Categorization was to be associated with
ALL of your companies, you could have simply set the "Map to Global"
field to "Yes" on your original import, which would have automatically
created global associations.

Have you tried the data load console? I found that using the console
