FW: ITSM Issue with Sandbox Enablement
Hi Folks I am having a ticket raised with BMC for this one but I just thought I'd pass it to the list for any thoughts that may come my way. It has me in a bit of a quandary and I thank anyone that can help me resolve it or work-around it. I have placed the log zip file (88KB) here because the list software blocks my attachment. http://www.softwaretoolhouse.com/_logs/ARUSERC2.ZIP www.softwaretoolhouse.com/_logs/ARUSERC2.ZIP PlatformSparc Sun Fire V240 OS Solaris 5.10 DB Oracle 10g2 ARS 7.1patch 5 ITSM7.0.3 patch 7 Cheers Ben Chernys Senior Software Architect Software Tool House Inc.

Januar 2009 09:37 An: Ben Chernys Cc: Betreff:ITSM Issue with Sandbox Enablement When we use the Sandbox feature (btw I had to put a fix in for our Geman clients - Sandbox enablement is ignored if you are not running an English client - any attributes (of our hand-constructed classes using default Admin defined field ids) that are NOT in BaseElement (or rather BMC.CORE:BMC_MainFrame) do NOT get pushed to the Sandbox instance. The Sandbox job has NULL Defer = Yes in the OOTB job. I can see why. If you turn this off (which is a bug that the OOTB is NOT off - restricting you from nullifying an attribute and then causing a mis-match between the two instances in the datasets) what happens is all the non-BaseElement (MF) attributes become NULL even when they are not touched. I believe the error is manifested by the filter ASI:SHR:All_600_PushToBMCForm which uses a sample schema where the push target is in a DO field. The filter has the by ID check-box checked. The Log describes the fields pushed and those target fields include those fields for the real target schema but the values for these fields are all null. Have you seen this behaviour? You should notice it if you take any class which other than BMC_Mainframe and change an attribute from that class (which field id is NOT in BMC_Mainframe). The problem is isolated to retrieving the values of fields as the target fields seem to be complete. I have checked the database (filter_push) and will need to have a play with the API to see what actually is set for a by like idpush fields. It is possible, I suppose, to build a better sample form with all of our and OOTB field ids in it. from filter ASI:SHR:All_600_PushToBMCForm, 3093, 1226599817, Remedy, panacea, 1, 600, 20, 1, 1, 2, ZODP+HGF8UUQFMpti/TK3KBO9J67T2saQn68e9TkISfKv8K219ABUBhboLdYUUv0UBd00rC2s98yWtiDld8iwnwpzvEXvjEb, 4\6\99\301170700\2\0, NULL, 1144618550♦BMC♦Copyright (c) 1991 - 2006 BMC Software, Inc. all rights reserved BMCVer=7.00.00♥, NULL, 4\60006\4\0\\60008\40\0\60009\4\0\\60010\4\0\\, NULL, NULL, 0, 0 from filter_push 3093, 0, 98, 1...@\11\$301170700$\1\98\4\1\1\179\99\179\4\5\102\1\@\...@\1\98\0\4\5\, NULL, BMC.CORE:BMC_Mainframe, @ 3093, 1001, 98, 1...@\11\$301170700$\1\98\4\1\1\179\99\179\4\3\102\1\@\...@\1\98\0\4\3\, NULL, BMC.CORE:BMC_Mainframe, @ As far as I can tell there will be two work-arounds possible: 1) a better sample form. or 2) a filter for each class replacing the single filter above.

Re: Crystal Reports and Mid-Tier license issue
We just went through the purchasing BOXI license process for our new BOXI server and they are not cheap. SAP just bought out Business Objects and changed the licensing model. There are not more Fixed and Floating User licenses, according to our rep if you are standing up the BO Crystal Enterprise Server XI. You now have to purchase CPU licenses for each CPU for each application server. We purchased 2 because the price jumped signifgantly last June. CPU Licenses allow unlimited access to the Application server were BOXI is installed. If you try to call them to get new licenses they will tell you that you will need to purchase CPU licenses, or at least that is what they made us do. If they tell you other wise I would like to know.

Re: Floating User License Ratio
Hi all, I just want to add that there is a free test-version that will show you how many licenses you can free by optimizing. The test-version will also show you the exact ratio that is optimum for your specific system. All you need is a user-log of 1-6 weeks from your server. Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se Products from RRR Scandinavia: * RRR|License - Not enough Remedy licenses? Save money by optimizing. * RRR|Log - Performance issues or elusive bugs?

Use RRR|LicenseMonitor to see how many you need. Its not free, but it easily pays for itself and then some. If you're considering buying more licenses its well worth it to let RRR analyze your user usage to see what mix of fixed/floating you really need. Who knows, maybe you have seldom-used fixed licenses you can exchange to get more floaters.

Resolved: Remedy User Suddenly Crashing for Multiple Users
The problem was caused when certain users did not have permissions to a field on the SHR:People form. That field was part of the results list. I would think that if they did not have permissions to a field in the results list then the field would not be displayed. It should not crash Remedy user. This is how it worked on the Mid Tier. The results list pulled up without that field. Thanks all.

Solaris 10 and Remedy ARS
We had an interesting problem with a test envirornment. Even if we set the ar.conf file to register with the portmapper, we got an RPCBind error (Authentication Failure). We discovered that the latest version of Solaris uses some different settings. We found the following solution at http://www.mail-archive.com/arsperl-us...@arsperl.org/msg00610.html: 1. the portmapper (rpcbind) is under the control of the Service Management Facility (SMF) on solaris10. SMF seems (to me, at least) very bloated with lots of gratuitous stuff, including properties. One of the properties for rpc/bind is config/local_only which apparently controls whether the portmapper can be reached from other hosts. It was set to true, so other hosts were out of luck. I set it to false using: svccfg -s svc:/network/rpc/bind svc:/network/rpc/bind setprop config/local_only = false svc:/network/rpc/bind quit svcadm refresh svc:/network/rpc/bind 2. the 2nd cause was also related to a property, config/ enable_tcpwrappers, which was set to true, meaning access to rpcbind was filtered by tcpwrappers, so I added a line to /etc/hosts.allow as follows: rpcbind: ALL And made sure /etc/hosts.allow was readable by rpcbind (chmod 644 /etc/hosts.allow). Just a heads up. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: Where the Answers Are

Can anyone comment on the performance of the Discovery Service for SMS adapter, preferably someone who had experience of the old adapter also.

Re: ITSM Issue with Sandbox Enablement
In my last position we struggled and fought with the Sandbox for quite a while, finding issues here and there, and finally came to the conclusion that the Sandbox provides no real value as it is currently implemented (at least ITSM pre-7.5, I haven’t see how they’ve changed it there yet), is fatally flawed in a few different ways and just caused more headaches than it was worth. In the end, we decided to simply turn it off, and I would recommend the same unless you have a specific need for it. In my opinion, the only real and valid benefit that could be obtained from a Sandbox would be as a staging area to make changes that are to be applied to the Gold dataset at a later time. The Sandbox implemented in CMDB 2.1 and earlier does not work this way. It is merely a pass-through dataset that gets immediately reconciled into Gold. As such, I see no benefit in using it. You could argue that it gives you the ability to limit what kinds of changes a person can make to Gold by changing the reconciliation rules. However, I would argue that if you don’t want someone to change something, because you have a better (automated) source for the information, a more appropriate solution would be to simply not let them change it in the first place via an active link or something that makes the field read only. It is extremely poor user interaction design to let someone make a change and save it, only to wonder why it didn’t take effect afterward. I know this isn’t what you were looking for, but after everything I went through trying to correctly use the Sandbox, I would recommend to just about anyone to leave it be and turn it off until its design and implementation get fixed.

Re: Developer Studio and ARS 7.1
That said, I've been experimenting with using the 7.5 tool with AR 7.1 and haven't had issues for the most part yet. The only issue I had was probably due to a minor bug in DS rather than the fact that I was using it with a 7.1 server. What happened is that I had a table in a page, and I went to add a column to the table. When I added the column the hold page holder and everything in it disappeared. I went back and made that particular change in the 7.1 admin tool (which you can run fine right next to DS) and then continued on in DS and everything was OK.

Re: ITSM Issue with Sandbox Enablement
I totally agree with Lyle. It just does not make sense to have a sandbox that will be immediately reconciled to production dataset. Besides restricting the updates via permissions or field properties, I would add that enabling auditing on the fields that can be updated is a good complement, from a control/audit perspective.

Re: ITSM Issue with Sandbox Enablement
Thanks Guys, I agree with you. I noticed the part that doesn't make sense but believe it or not I have a reasonable reason for using it. As for auditing, we've had our share of issues with it but are (over) using it. I disabled the delete activity in the Sandbox reconciliation job so that when a CI in Production (Gold?) is touched by a person, I can have our standard reconciliation job basically use the equal Sandbox CI at a higher precedence and then more or less cancel the normal discovered CI in the recon job. When that normal discovered CI has caught up to the human modified CI, in a set of configured fields I might add, then the Sandbox CI is deleted and the CI is no longer human modified and participates in reconciliation updates as normal. I also cannot add an attribute indicating the human modification state to BaseElement. The Sandbox indeed makes no sense whatsoever as implemented with the OOTB workflow. The Updated CI is pushed (supposedly) to the Sandbox, and then immediately reconciled to production AND deleted from Sandbox. Also note the comments about the NULL Option in the OOTB Job. This may be there to cover the issue I encountered below. We now have a ticket with BMC but alas, I am going to have to do something to make it work sooner than I expect a response or a fix.

Re: ITSM Issue with Sandbox Enablement
Ben, You said something that I would like clarification on: any attributes (of our hand-constructed classes using default Admin defined field ids) (italics added) Just to be certain I’m understanding things correctly, did you create these classes using the CMDB console using the functionality there for creating classes and adding attributes to them, or did you do any of this work in the Admin tool? While I haven’t added any new classes, I have added a fair number of attributes to existing classes (although we used IDs specified from a specific range of IDs that we were using, rather than letting the system auto-assign IDs), and we never had a problem with the system not bringing these attributes into the sandbox, which is something that I think should be someone analogous to what you’re trying to do in the end. While I’m not an expert on what happens when you use a sample schema, I would expect that the fact that “by ID” is selected, it should bring across all fields with matching IDs regardless of whether or not they’re in the sample schema – which it seem would have to be the case or the majority of the OOB classes would have this same issue. Well, I guess there’s no useful information in the paragraph above. I guess I really just want to confirm that the classes were all created using the CMDB console exclusively, and that any AST forms used to work with those classes were created using the CMDB2Asset utility so that the IDs of the fields on the asset forms and the CMDB forms all match up, regardless of whether they’re OOB or custom.

This may be there to cover the issue I encountered below. We now have a ticket with BMC but alas, I am going to have to do something to make it work sooner than I expect a response or a fix. Perhaps the Overlay feature works better?

It just does not make sense to have a sandbox that will be immediately reconciled to production dataset. Besides restricting the updates via permissions or field properties, I would add that enabling auditing on the fields that can be updated is a good complement, from a control/audit perspective. So with access control and auditing, you really don't need a sandbox, and you are going to gain a lot in terms of reducing complexity, maintenance, etc. -Guillaume __Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: Where the Answers Are html___ NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

ARCONFIGDIR
Is ARCONFIGDIR not supported as of version 7? Why would BMC want to take configuration options away is beyond me. It appears to be a very dumb decission...why over sudden forcing us to keep multiple copies of the binaries on the server when prevously we could start multiple instances with just one set of binaries? ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: Where the Answers Are
Opening a record through a Mid-Tier URL
Hi all, I hope someone can help me with this. I have a form that I have setup and I am attempting to use a Mid-Tier URL for people to click on. It uses a Generic User name and Password in the URL. What I need is to fire workflow to Open the Window up without the Results List, similar to a Display type window. It doesn't seem to recognize Entry ID even though I specified the Entry ID in the URL. Has anyone done something similar? Here is my URL that I am using: http://midtier.providence.org/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=IS+Surv eyview=Dialogserver=arsprodusername=SurveyEntrypwd=surveyeid=00 00301 ARServer 6.3 patch 21 MidTier 6.3 patch 21 Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Opening a record through a Mid-Tier URL
Just commenting -- I think it is a bad move to include username/ password in the URL. Even if the username/password is limited to only handling the one form -- it seems amateurish and I think people see that in their URL and have a nervous feeling about following the link.

Re: SLM ITSM 7.5
Hum... The compatibility matrix suggest that SLM 7.1 is compatible with AR System 7.5. I am sure it could be possible that a patch for SLM 7.1 might be needed to make it work with ITSM 7.5. However, I wonder if there is an install option to install SLM 7.1 without integrating to ITSM so that you could at least get it installed. ( Then implement a custom integration based on your needs to ITSM 7.5.) But you likely will take more time to finish that custom integration than to wait for SLM 7.5 to be released. :( On the other hand... You might opt for ITSM 7.0.3 w/SLM 7.1 on an AR System 7.5 Server. That looks like it is fully on the matrix to me. ( And I would hope than an upgrade of the applications [ITSM and SLM] would be possible later. ) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap Pick two.

Re: Developer Studio 7.5
This is just a beta version right now and hence i wouldnt suggest it for the actual devlopment activity. That is not a correct statement. Developer Studio is part of AR System 7.5.00 which is Generally Available (GA) and is definitely no longer in beta. You can't get just Developer Studio, as it is not a standalone product. However, as per the compatibility matrix, BMC recommends that all developers against a single AR system use the same version of Admin Tool or Dev Studio. Thus, it's probably a better idea to continue using the Admin Tool that comes with AR System 7.0.01 against an AR System 7.0.01 production server - and not switch back and forth between Admin Tool and Dev Studio. BMC expects that Dev Studio will be backwards compatible against AR System 7.0.01 and 7.1.00 - but of course, it was designed primarily for use with AR System 7.5.00. -David J.

possibility of Server group without load balancer?
We are planning to upgrade our arsystem form single server to a server group. I went through the white paper and the following question still remained as unclear Can someone give information on what is the role of a load balancer in a server group. Can we have a server group with out load balancer ? What we gain/loose with/without load balancer in a server group. Current: ARSystem 6.3, solaris,oracle, db on same box as arserver Upgrate: ARSystem7.1, solaris,oracle, two to four arservers, db on a remote box. Also is there anyone planning to use or any thoughts on AR7.5 in 64 bit, heared this new version can support 64bit. Our current arserverd crashing once the process reaches close to 4 gb ram.
