Tim et all,

we have been using the SRM (version 2.0) in production for few months now.
Here are major limitations/annoyances we have experienced and that you may find 
of interest
- there is no way to define a direct URL to a specific request form, it only 
can take you to the Service Categories view where you need to find the request 
you are after (not helpful when trying to reference the form on the intranet)
- fulfilment process cannot be conditional depending on values selected on the 
request form, i.e. you cannot trigger only some work orders off the request
- work order sub-system has a lot of functionality missing in comparison to 
other ITSM modules, i.e. SLM is not enabled, relationships cannot be created in 
the same way as on Incidents/Change Requests
- when reviewing the request as a requestor, the Process Overview only Displays 
Request ID and Status. If you need to chase the team responsible, you have to 
go to the respective module and search for the request ID. Either more 
information should be displayed in the process overview or there should be a 
way to take the user to the entry in the given module directly.
- there is no export/import facility for service request definitions. This 
makes it rather longwinded to move tested requests from test environment to 
production

There is few more issues/annoyances I am not going to bother you with.
I have been told that Kinetic Request provides some of the missing 
functionality listed above, but cannot confirm that as I have never seen it in 
action. It also may be that some of the items above have been addressed in 
later releases (can anybody comment?)

Hope some of you will find this info useful.

I think hairy is a bit of an understatement.  I don't consider myself an

easier to implement and manage.

Once again, your mileage may vary, I am not a lawyer, and I'm not the regular 
crew chief; however, in every case where I've seen SRM go head to head with 
Kinetic Request, it's the Kinetic product that customers choose.  Of course, 
one reason is that it works with *any* Remedy application, even a home-grown 
app.  But I think a lot has to do with its design.  It's simple enough that you 
don't have to be a technical wizard to create catalogs and manage requests.

I'm still curious about Scott's original question.  Is anyone actually using 
SRM in production right now?

Problem submitting a request via email

2008-07-03 Thread Rod Harris
Hi Listers,
 
I am running the latest versions of ARS. That is Server 7.1.0 patch 3 on SQL 
Server, Windows 2003 envrionment. The system uses the email engine to process 
incoming emails and submit new change requests via the 
CHG:ChangeInterface_Create form. 
 
The problem is that unless I give the user that is specified in the email a 
fixed or floating license the submit fails with the following error
 
This is the entry in email log file:
 
You do not have write access (at create time) to field 1
 
This is the email that is returned to the sender:
 
Instruction:Submit
Instruction Number:1
Instruction Template:

Message Type:  
Message Number: 8932
Message Text: You do not have write license
Appended Text:
Instruction:Submit
Instruction Number:1
Instruction Template:

Message Type:  
Message Number: 332
Message Text: You do not have write access (at create time) to field
Appended Text:  1

These errors seem to imply that the user has no rights to update the request ID 
field. I was under the impression that the allow any user to submit flag was 
redundant on the request ID field. In this case both submitter and public have 
been given write access to the field without success. 
 
Can anyone else shed any light on why I'm seeing this problem? 
 
Thanks for the help,
 
Rod

It's a little confusing because it's a difference between an invalid
menu option vs what you an I would consider an invalid combination.

The database will not allow us to insert an invalid menu option so it
will be null. Much like the invalid ars severity field values we
discussed.

The assignment rules will not match on unconfigured combinations of
values in the categorization menus which is different than an invalid
menu option.

Does that help to clarify?

I had a similiar issue although it wasn't quite as bad as yours and I
found two things that helped to clear up the problem.  One, like Axton,
I had a lot of bouncebacks and bad email addresses.  Cleaning up the bad
email address help to lessen the frequency of the problem.  Patching is
what ultimately fixed the mail issue for me.  So not sure what
platform/patch you're on, but that might work wonders for you.

Re: Email Engine AR 7.0.1

2008-07-03 Thread Hall Chad - chahal
There's an issue with the 7.0.1 email engine where if it loses its
connection to AR Server (ARERR 90) it will throw NullPointerException
java errors and never reconnect until you cycle the service. Also, every
outgoing email processed after the initial NullPointerException error
will have its Send Message value changed to Error, essentially taking
it out of the queue. Another nasty side effect is that the attachments
associated with those messages are lost. So if you cycle the email
engine and requeue those emails they won't have any shortcut
attachments.

 

This was supposedly fixed in patch 7, but we're actually seeing it more
on patch 7 in our dev environment than we saw on patch 5.

Re: BMC Service Request Management

2008-07-03 Thread John

I think Kinetic Request is pretty good  :)

Direct URL - yes
Example: http://www.kineticdata.com/external/request-for-information.html
(this is actually a web page served by Kinetic Request -- everything  
is Remedy - but you would never know it)
Example scenario: In your Knowledge Mgmt - you have an article that  
explains why process XYZ fails with error 123. The solution is to have  
at least 2GB of memory in your machine. (Click here - to order more  
memory) The Click here would take you right to a Kinetic Request  
form for ordering memory.


Fulfillment process as you describe - yes
Parallel and serial tasks - and any combination of it
Also - conditional  tasks (all with dependencies etc)
Example: new employee form -- they check Yes they need an email  
account -- then the backend tasks for email creation would fire


Import/Export service definitions - yes
See page 153 in the doc: 
http://www.kineticdata.com/images/downloads/KineticRequestUserManual.pdf
(Also - it is one thing to import/export -- it is altogether another  
thing to import in-place -- which we handle)
Example: You define a service on a dev box -- export it -- import to  
production

You see you want to change something.
You go to dev - fix it -- export it -- import to production -- it will  
import that change into the existing form. (If you want)


We like to say Kinetic Request - is for companies that take their  
services seriously.


If you want a demo -- follow the above URL in the direct URL example.

Many other features too: http://www.kineticdata.com/request-features.html

Oh - and the US people -- have a great independence day - in fact -  
declare your independence -- know your options -- choose what is good  
for you.

responsible, you have to go to the respective module and search for  
the request ID. Either more information should be displayed in the  
process overview or there should be a way to take the user to the  
entry in the given module directly.
- there is no export/import facility for service request definitions.  
This makes it rather longwinded to move tested requests from test  
environment to production


There is few more issues/annoyances I am not going to bother you with.
I have been told that Kinetic Request provides some of the missing  
functionality listed above, but cannot confirm that as I have never  
seen it in action. It also may be that some of the items above have  
been addressed in later releases (can anybody comment?)


Hope some of you will find this info useful.

I think hairy is a bit of an understatement.  I don't consider  
myself an expert in the matter, but from what I've seen, Kinetic  
Request is a whole lot easier to implement and manage.


Once again, your mileage may vary, I am not a lawyer, and I'm not the  
regular crew chief; however, in every case where I've seen SRM go head  
to head with Kinetic Request, it's the Kinetic product that customers  
choose.  Of course, one reason is that it works with *any* Remedy  
application, even a home-grown app.  But I think a lot has to do with  
its design.  It's simple enough that you don't have to be a technical  
wizard to create catalogs and manage requests.


I'm still curious about Scott's original question.  Is anyone actually  
using SRM in production right now?

Service Request App Event Status

2008-07-03 Thread Janie
Hi,

 

I was hoping someone may have some insight into the Service Request module.


 

When a service request has an error on it, you can go into the Requester
module and View Requests with Errors.  

With a Request that has errors, you can click on the Change/Incident Data
tab and click 'Reset Error' or 'View Events'.  

When I click on View Events and 'Retry' the process, the error is resolved
and the CAI Event is removed.  

What I am wondering is why the App Event Status on the Service Request
remains on 'Error'.  

This occurs whether or not I choose Reset Error before View Events / Retry.

It seems to me that the App Event Status should return to a status of 'OK'
after the Error is removed.   

I'm wondering if the App Event Status remaining at Error is normal or if
there is a disconnect in the system somewhere.

Thanks,

JR

ARWARN 61 when submitting via Mid-Tier

2008-07-03 Thread Dwayne Martin
Dear List,

We have a form with an “Email Log” diary field.  The only workflow connected 
with it is two filters that push to the log whenever there is an email message 
about the entry.  No workflow for the field fires on Submit.

When someone without read permissions to the field submits a call via Mid-Tier, 
they get a message that says:

“You do not have read access (for this entry) to field :
Email log (ARWARN 61).”

The entry is submitted OK.

They do not get this message from the WUT.

There are no errors or references to the field in the Active Link or Filter 
logs.

The sql log shows:
SELECT C536870931 FROM T575 WHERE C1 = 'ITR02912'. . .OK
UPDATE T575 SET C536870931 = EMPTY_CLOB() WHERE C1 = 'ITR02912' …OK
SELECT C536870931 FROM T575 WHERE C1 = 'ITR02912' FOR UPDATE. . .OK
(575 is the schemaid and 536870931 the fielded.)
both when run from Mid-Tier and the WUT.

So why are users getting this error, and how can I stop it, other than by 
giving “Public” read permission to the field?

Re: Plug in error...

2008-07-03 Thread Chowdhury, Tauf
I actually just experienced this error. I'm pretty sure what kicked off
the crashing was a bad import of data where we forced in too many
functional roles in 1 support group. In any case, BMC sent us the
caieventcmd.dll file to replace. After doing so and restarting services,
all was well. Before we applied the DLL, we did back out the imports
that we did. It didn't help which is why we went with replacing the DLL.
So I think that once it starts crashing, you're pretty much hosed until
you replace it. Good luck!

You have to insure that the Incident and Change Auto Assignment has at least 
one entry or the Incident creation will fail due to no Support group to assign 
to. Open the Service request that was created and you will see in the error log 
on the form that there is not assignment available.

Roger is exactly right. To get there, click on the Requester Console
link and in that window, click on Request Error and then View Requests
with Errors. You should see the requests that were submitted in there.
Click on a record and then check the Change/Incident Data tab for the
details of the error and the events.

 

Good luck!

Re: Service Request App Event Status

2008-07-03 Thread Lisa Westerfield
It is the [Reset Error] that changes the value to OK, and this is
working fine in our environment.

Oddly enough, it will actually set it to OK whether you fixed the
problem or not but I guess that's a different conversation.

Re: Question: Requestor Console - Submitted Requests never Generate a Request ID

I am back on track now! Thank you both.

** 

Roger is exactly right. To get there, click on the Requester Console
link and in that window, click on Request Error and then View Requests
with Errors. You should see the requests that were submitted in there.
Click on a record and then check the Change/Incident Data tab for the
details of the error and the events.

 

Good luck!

** You have to insure that the Incident and Change Auto Assignment has
at least one entry or the Incident creation will fail due to no Support
group to assign to. Open the Service request that was created and you
will see in the error log on the form that there is not assignment
available.

No I do not have the assignment routing turned on for the Requestor
Console. 

 

This is my first time with the Requestor console, which ITSM 7.0.3
Manual do you suggest I look at to see all of the Console
configurations. I am looking at the Incident and it just shows me how to
use. Should I be looking at the ITSM Configuration Manual for more
information? What do You suggest?

 

Thanks.

I have a question:

 

When I am using the Requestor Console as a requestor in Multi-Tenancy
Mode I am getting an error when submitting an request through the
Requestor Console interface as a requestor. When I submit the request
the request never generates and the Request ID is In Process no matter
how many times I refresh. Also when I sign in as a support-staff
Incident User from Company A I cannot find the ticket.  The requestor
account that I am using is in Company A with a login, password and
access to Company A data, as well as a Read license.

 

Why are the requests he is submitting not generating? 

 

Thanks.

Re: Service Request App Event Status

2008-07-03 Thread Janie
It's interesting that even if I do the 'Reset Error' and it changes to OK.
It changes back to error after processing the event, whether ignore or
retry.  I did notice that processing saves the item immediately.  I wonder
if there is an app command missing.

 

Lisa - what ITSM version are you on?

It is the [Reset Error] that changes the value to OK, and this is working
fine in our environment.

Oddly enough, it will actually set it to OK whether you fixed the problem
or not but I guess that's a different conversation.

We have the same issue on our server as well (ITSM 7 patch 003). Even though
everything is processed the app event status remains error. The only
difference is that the request id field changed from in progress to an

Subject: Service Request App Event Status

 

** 

Hi,

 

I was hoping someone may have some insight into the Service Request module.


 

When a service request has an error on it, you can go into the Requester
module and View Requests with Errors.  

With a Request that has errors, you can click on the Change/Incident Data
tab and click 'Reset Error' or 'View Events'.  

When I click on View Events and 'Retry' the process, the error is resolved
and the CAI Event is removed.  

What I am wondering is why the App Event Status on the Service Request
remains on 'Error'.  

This occurs whether or not I choose Reset Error before View Events / Retry.

It seems to me that the App Event Status should return to a status of 'OK'
after the Error is removed.   

I'm wondering if the App Event Status remaining at Error is normal or if
there is a disconnect in the system somewhere.

 

ITSM 703 P7

 

Thanks,

JR

To All,



Have a great 4th of July. I know this list is carried all over the world,
but as we Americans enjoy our celebration of Freedom I hope we think about
the men and women who are away from their families in harms way, as well
as those who have given their lives so we can be free.

There's an issue with the 7.0.1 email engine where if it loses
its connection to AR Server (ARERR 90) it will throw
NullPointerException java errors and never reconnect until you cycle the
service. Also, every outgoing email processed after the initial
NullPointerException error will have its Send Message value changed to
Error, essentially taking it out of the queue. Another nasty side
effect is that the attachments associated with those messages are lost.
So if you cycle the email engine and requeue those emails they won't
have any shortcut attachments.

 

This was supposedly fixed in patch 7, but we're actually seeing
it more on patch 7 in our dev environment than we saw on patch 5.
