Re: Determine license type?

2009-02-06 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

If you write an API-program it makes no sence to call the Plugin through
GLEWF. You should use ARGetListUser instead.

Note that users are allways assigned a Floating-Read when they login. They
will get the Floating-Write (if one is available) when they perform their
first data-operation against the server.

By data-operation i mean something like this:
- Making a search in a form
- Doing a table-refresh
- Running a Set-Fields Active-Link to the server.
- Create/modify a record

Just opening the object list, and/or a form, does not upgrade the license
from Floating-Read to Floating-Write.

 If GLEWF is the only function they have put in the plugin, could you write
 a
 small api prog to call that vendor form with GLEWF? Make the
 fieldvaluelist
 the same as the table field? Just a thought...

 Misi is correct

 You must use a table field
 The query should be something like
  ( 'licuserinfocurrentregdtype' = 0) AND ( 'licuserinfolicensecategory'
 = 0) AND ( 'licuserinfousername' LIKE  $USER$ )

 A 'licuserinfowritelicense' column will return a value of Read
 (Floating) for a floating user without a write token.


 Hope this helps

 Hi,

 The problem with the plugin behind this vendor form is that only
 ARGetListEntryWithFields has been implemented. And not completely
 implemented at that...

 To get at the license type anyway, you must use a table-field.

 Only a few qualifications are allowed, but doing a 'User Name' = $USER$
 should work. You must then refresh the table (in an ACTL or a FLTR).

 A light-weight-way of storing the value is in a Global Field.

 Maybe an ACTL that triggers on Window Open:
 Run If: ('License Type Global' = $NULL$)
 Refresh Table: License Review Tbl
 Set-Fields: License Type Global = $Licence Review Tbl License Type$

 You might be able to do it by querying the Write License field on

 Is there a way to determine the AR license type (basically read or
 not) to be used as the run if of an active link?  I want to set up an
 active link that will only run for a user that has a write license.

Its used for more than that. Its usage includes taking long actions away
from the main filtering or escalations etc. The process polls Application
Pending form for commands. E.g. signal Reconciliation Engine there is a job
waiting.

From the old days it was called the rap service. Which kind of acted as a
user who under certain commands, trigger threads to things that maybe you
didn't want the end user to wait around for.

Re: Need Help with syntax for Runmacro from escalation, works from dos cmd

2009-02-06 Thread Schryver, Curt
Manjari,

I am running a macro via an escalation but my command syntax is a little 
different from yours.  First off, I don't use the -h (home directory), instead 
I'm using the -d (macro directory).  Also, I have the directory enclosed in 
double quotes.  And, the path I'm using definitely doesn't have any security on 
it.  All Users shouldn't, but you never know.  I'm using C:\Program Files\AR 
System\Macros (on the server, of course).

Another difference is that I'm using the -e to provide the name of the macro as 
opposed to the -i, not sure how they differ.  Manual doesn't explain, so it's 
probably nothing.

Good luck and hope something here might help.

Thank you all for replying. From the escalation log I see that the

Are you running the cmd line version on the server or desktop?  The
escalation will run on server, so the C: in escalation is referring to
server c: not local c:

You may need to move the macro to the server and adjust path accordingly
where Remedy has permissions to.

AR_ESCALATOR is the user within Remedy, but the filesystem permissions you
need are the ones that Remedy is running as on your box, so if your Remedy
is running as 'Local System', you can change it to an actual user and have
that user have permissions to a network location.

Are you running the cmd line version on the server or desktop?  The
escalation will run on server, so the C: in escalation is referring to
server c: not local c:

You may need to move the macro to the server and adjust path accordingly
where Remedy has permissions to.

Thanks,

OLE Automation Help

2009-02-06 Thread Mark Lev
Hello,
 
I am trying to figure out the OLE Automation in Remedy 7.1/Windows.
 
I looked thru the API documentation, and it was a good start in understanding 
how Remedy uses OLE, but it doesn't help much in actually building.  The sample 
app didn't work, I think because I didn't have the OLE Local Server that it 
referenced.
 
My question is, can anyone provide documentation, examples, etc that will help 
me learn this?  I certainly can learn from example, and I would like to 
understand how this works so I can try to build on my own.
 
I understand that much depends on the local servers being installed.  I cannot 
find information on how to obtain these, and configure them so I can use them.  
For example, I do not have Microsoft Word Document in my local servers.  How do 
I get this, and how do I enable it?

Thanks,
Mark

Re: Problem Installing 7.5 Developer Studio

We saw both of these behaviors when trying to install on a Windows 7

Since it is an unsupported configuration we didn't worry too much
about it and moved on.  We didn't have any issues installing on
Windows 2003.

transaction for parent/child changes

2009-02-06 Thread Brien Dieterle
We've designed a form that has child requests displayed in a table list
field.  You can interact with these child requests through this form and
update them via display only fields and push-fields activelink buttons etc.
So the problem is you can update some things on the main form, and update
some children requests, close the main request and say yes, lose changes.
A user might expect that the changes to the children would be reverted back
to what they were.

Is there any way to encapsulate the whole process of editing the primary
requests and N children requests into a single transaction that gets
committed only upon saving of the primary request?

Thanks!

Re: transaction for parent/child changes

2009-02-06 Thread Scott Illari
Brien,

 

I would suggest that instead of pushing directly from your dialog, you put
the same display only fields on the primary request form.  Those fields
would be set on Commit Changes/Close Window of the dialog.  When the primary
request is saved, you then have a filter do a push fields to your child form
to modify all matching requests.

 

Hope this helps.

Re: Setting up Remedy Redundancy Server

2009-02-06 Thread Danny Kellett
Just remember to have a script to change server references within the
database before you switch the DNS otherwise your disaster recovery server

Regards

To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG
Subject: Re: Setting up Remedy Redundancy Server

My2Cents:

1. Production Failover:
  We have Server A and Server B with Veritas Cluster (VCS).
   VCS  maintains a shared drive like setting that arserver
installation files  and oracle dababase will reside on share drive
with Server A active. Due to any hard ware problem if Server A fails,
VCS points Server B to the share drive. So its basically one arserver
installation shared between two CPUs(Computers).
The failover is automatic,transparent and immediate.
 In case if you have your database remotely then you need to set up
similar thing for database also.

2. Disaster Recovery:

We have another separate remedy installation with its own database in
a different location(Geographically Dispersed).
This is a passive hot backup server. We start it only if fail over
fails. Its not immediate.
It takes around 15-30 min to get the users back to system.
We point productionDNS/IP address point to the DR box during DR mode.
So its transparent to the end users.
We are using oracle data gurad to synchronize data between production
db and DR db.

For (1) since its basically one arserver installation you don't need
to buy any separate license.
For (2) I think you need to have a hot backup license I am not sure if
its another term. I heard that  its free since only one server will be
up at a time , but I might be wrong.

3.  ServerGroup.
 You need to have a load balancer configured for ServerGroup to
have an automatic failover of user connections.
 Without the load balancer only certain process like Escalation,
Email Eninge, Flashboards, DSO etc.. will be failed over among the
servers in the servergroup. Not the user connections.
  Each server in the server group will have its own remedy
installation, so you need to buy a arserver license for each server
where as the fixed and floating licenses are stored in database and
can be shared across the group.

4. For web users, we have several midtiers under a load balancer. So
if one midtier fails only the users connected to that will see broken
connection and all other users will use remedy as normal. Load
balancer will take care of directing any new user connections to other
midtiers.


I am sure there might be some more better processes. Mostly what you
choose depends on the budget,time and criticality of your application
to your business.

Re: Setting up Remedy Redundancy Server

2009-02-06 Thread Kaiser, Norm E CIV USAF AFMC 96 CS/SCCE
Redundancy is immediate, disaster recovery is large-scale.

For example, if a hard drive fails on your Remedy server, redundancy
(failover) kicks in and ensures service is not interrupted. On the other
hand, if a hurricane comes through and destroys your entire data center,
that's when you execute your disaster recovery plan.

Disaster recovery entails things like having servers in different
geographic locations, offsite storage of backup media, long-term storage
of backup media, etc.

 Yes you need to point the second server to the same database

 Server Groups is a different concept where you buy a server license

Incident Owner - ITSM 7.0.3 p8

2009-02-06 Thread J.T. Shyman
I've got a question about Incident Owner assignment in ITSM 7.0.3. I've done
some testing and read through the documentation and postings about this on
ARSList but I have reached two conclusions that I wanted to get some
feedback on from the list membership. 

 

First, the Incident Owner assignment does work exactly as stated on pages
125-126 of the Incident Management 7.0 User Guide but only if there isn't a
Incident Owner entry for the company in the CFG:Assignment form. This tells
me that CFG:Assignment overrides the OTB Incident Management Incident Owner
assignment. Has anyone else found this to be true or disagree with this?

 

Second, if there are multiple Incident Owner entries for a given company in
CFG:Assignment they are not selected by the most specific rule but rather by
a long order by statement that looks like this:

 

ORDER BY 2 DESC,3 ASC,4 DESC,5 ASC,6 ASC,7 DESC,8 ASC,9 ASC,10 ASC,11 ASC,12
ASC,13 ASC,14 ASC,15 ASC,16 ASC,17 ASC, 1 ASC

 

Where 

2 is Event

3 is Sort Order

4 is Contact Company

5 is Organization

6 is Department

7 is Location Company

8 is Region

9 is Site Group

10 is Site+

11 is Operational Tier 1

12 is Operational Tier 2

13 is Operational Tier 3

14 is Product Tier 1

15 is Product Tier 2

16 is Product Tier 3

17 is Product Name

1 is Request ID (Record Number)

 

This, plus the fact that the filter matches most of these fields to a value
or to NULL leads the to the net effect that the record with the lowest sort
order will always be chosen regardless of the fields other than Contact
Company and Location Company. Has anyone else found this to be true or
disagree with this?

 

If I wanted to set up a set of Incident Owner assignments that would fire on
different product and operational categorizations, what would be the best
way to do it?

Re: Remedy license usage monitoring utility

2009-02-06 Thread Easter, David
Also note that in AR System 7.5.00, license usage for all types of licenses 
(User, Application, fixed, floating, ITSM, AR System, etc.) can be stored in a 
form within AR System for either manual review or use by an application.   From 
the What's New in BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.5.00 document:
 
16-Jan-2009 What's New: BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.5.00 PDF 
http://www.bmc.com/supportu/documents/84/15/98415/98415.pdf  
 
Current and historical license usage

To provide data for flashboards so that they can display current and historical 
license usage, these read-only forms were added to AR System 7.5.00:

! AR System Current License Usage-Tracks all licenses currently in use on the 
server when the Enable License Tracking option is selected in the AR System 
Administration: Server Information form. You can use the data in the AR System 
Current License Usage form to generate flashboards that show current license 
usage.

! AR System Historical License Usage-Tracks information about licenses that are 
released while the Enable License Tracking option is selected in the AR System 
Administration: Server Information form. You can use this data to generate 
flashboards that show the following information for specified time periods:

! License usage for a single user, including each time that the user acquired 
or released a particular license type

! Number of licenses used by all users for a specified application, license 
type, or license pool

Re: Double-servers in mid-tier application-list

2009-02-06 Thread Sabyson Fernandes
Your right. I thought you meant the mid-tier server. Sorry.

What would help is the use of field id 1576 on your home page. This is a 
reserved field which can control what is displayed in the application list 
field. Depending on the value in this field only a subset of servers and entry 
points can be displayed on the home page. See the Form and Applications Guide 
for 7.1 Viewing a subset of entry points on page 269. I have used this before 
and it works beautifully.

  xxx123.blabla.se
  arsprod
 
  When a user logs in, he sees two sets of

  I would have
  set the server-name-alias to arsprod, and only
 registered
  one arserver in
  Mid-Tier-Config.
 
  The reason we need xxx123.blabla.se in the config

Re: Incident Owner - ITSM 7.0.3 p8

2009-02-06 Thread Charles Baldi
To your first question, your observation is correct.  The order of Owner
assignment appears to be:
  1.  If user has entered a value for Owner, use it
  2.  If there is an Owner rule in CFG:Assignment, use it
  3.  Use default Owner rules based on submitter, assigned group, etc.
To your second point, I have not had trouble getting rules to work based on
Operational or Product categories, with one exception.  If you have multiple
rules that have the same Tier 1 value and one has NULL for Tier 2 while the
other is non-NULL, there seems to be ambiguity as to which one is located.
I would have expected the most-specific value to fire but we did not see
that.  We fixed it by ensuring that all rules used the same tiers
populated.  You may be able to address this with sort order.

We did not observe that sort order overrode all the other values.  If true,
I would think it is a bug.

 I've got a question about Incident Owner assignment in ITSM 7.0.3. I've
 done some testing and read through the documentation and postings about this
 on ARSList but I have reached two conclusions that I wanted to get some
 feedback on from the list membership.



 First, the Incident Owner assignment does work exactly as stated on pages
 125-126 of the Incident Management 7.0 User Guide but only if there isn't a
 Incident Owner entry for the company in the CFG:Assignment form. This tells
 me that CFG:Assignment overrides the OTB Incident Management Incident Owner
 assignment. Has anyone else found this to be true or disagree with this?



 Second, if there are multiple Incident Owner entries for a given company in
 CFG:Assignment they are *not* selected by the most specific rule but
 rather by a long order by statement that looks like this:



 *ORDER BY *2 DESC,3 ASC,4 DESC,5 ASC,6 ASC,7 DESC,8 ASC,9 ASC,10 ASC,11ASC,
 12 ASC,13 ASC,14 ASC,15 ASC,16 ASC,17 ASC, 1 ASC



 Where

 2 is Event

 3 is Sort Order

 4 is Contact Company

 5 is Organization

 6 is Department

 7 is Location Company

 8 is Region

 9 is Site Group

 10 is Site+

 11 is Operational Tier 1

 12 is Operational Tier 2

 13 is Operational Tier 3

 14 is Product Tier 1

 15 is Product Tier 2

 16 is Product Tier 3

 17 is Product Name

 1 is Request ID (Record Number)



 This, plus the fact that the filter matches most of these fields to a value
 *or* to NULL leads the to the net effect that the record with the lowest
 sort order will always be chosen regardless of the fields other than Contact
 Company and Location Company. Has anyone else found this to be true or
 disagree with this?



 If I wanted to set up a set of Incident Owner assignments that would fire
 on different product and operational categorizations, what would be the best
 way to do it?

Long shot, but I'll ask anyway

2009-02-06 Thread Mark Lev
This is likely something that cannot be done, but what the heck, can't hurt to 
ask.
 
Anyone know how to embed a form within a form in the client without use of web? 
 Perhaps some API or control or other mechanism exists to do this.
 
An alternative is if someone can show me how to securely pass authentication 
from client to a web view so use doesn't have to reauthenticate, that may work. 
 Again, not sure if this can be done...  I need to pass parameters also, but 
that should not be as big an obstacle.

Re: transaction for parent/child changes

2009-02-06 Thread Mark Lev
Sounds like a plan, glad it helped.
 
Just a thought.  Are there many child records?  If so, the prep/load time may 
suffer if you copy all children recs.  You could use the child form as the 
source for the table, and only save modified children in temp form.  Then 
update when parent finishes.  Drawback is that changes will not be visible to 
the user until the children are updated.
 
Another consideration is record locking.  What's the likelihood of 2 people 
editing the same parent at the same time?  You may need to build workflow to 
prevent this.  (i.e.: Check if active parent relationship exists in temp, if 
so, don't allow edit, if not allow.)
 
I'd be curious to see others ideas on how to address the locking issue.  Are 
there better ways?  Does Remedy provide a check?  I'm sure this isn't unique 
situation.
 
Thanks,
Mark

Fw: transaction for parent/child changes

2009-02-06 Thread Michael Drew
Depending on the nature of the data, you could perhaps use the table field as 
your temporary storage (I.e. Set field local action to place your various 
values into the currently selected row in the table) and do a table walk to 
send the table values back to the actual child entry's records when you hit 
save on the parent.

 Hi all,
 I can't seem to send a report to a file
 when using browser client.
 Report to screen works fine.
  
 This is what I do--
 Using IE 7, search for some records, highlight the results,
 click on
 Report button.
 ReportSelection form opens. 
 I select a AR System type of report, set
 destination to file,
 report format to csv 
 On clicking Run Report, I do get a prompt to
 specify file name. No way
 to select a path for the file.
 On clicking ok, the prompt disappears. The file is nowhere
 in my file
 system. No error.
  
 If destination is file, not matter what the
 report format, I get the
 same behavior.
  
 Report to screen is working.
  
 What's going on?
  
 ARS 7.1 p5, Midtier 7.1 p5. Apache, Weblogic. IE 7.
  
 I see that there is a knowledgebase article (20007821)
 about how upgrade
 from older version to ARS 7.x fails to update records on
 ReportType
 form. My records there seem ok, and its not an upgraded
 system. 
  
 If report to file from a browser is working for you, can
 somebody sendme
 records from their ReportType form?
  
 TIA.

setup a look and feel along with core fields that would replicate down
to its related forms.  So if you had a standard banner or certain fields
like a standard navigation bar that should appear on multiple forms, you
add those forms to the template.  When the Template is updated the
changes are reflected instantly through all the other forms.

graphical elements (such as flashboards) to AR System forms. This
field provides the following benefits:


Sorry... I guess that idea is not an option for you.


One advantage to the DVF's is that they have the users credentials
available to them. So I would hope that you could find a way to pass
that to the Mid-Tier to get the form (HTML/Javascript/CSS/etc..) and
pass that back to the ARS client for the run time user.

But it would require a Mid-Tier. Is that an option for you?

2009-02-06 Thread Mark Lev
If it didn't require the user reauthenticating, yes that would be an option, 
but I want to display fields, not just graphical.
 
It would be nice if the data visualization control allowed a form view to be 
selected.  That would solve my problem without me learning a new program 
language so I can display Remedy info in Remedy, in a format that I need to.
 
BTW, the purpose of this is that the user has to load form, select, load form, 
etc to go around the workflow, data trail.  OR, I have to build customized 
views for each combination.  If I could load a form with in a DV control, or 
likewise, I can have them click, and load all within one form, streamlining 
customizations and user experience.  I guess Frames within a web page is the 
best analogy I can make.

2009-02-06 Thread Oracle4Me
Hi,
 
I am trying to bring data from a .csv file into my sandbox  dataset.  I know 
I can do this thru AIE - however it seemed complicated to  set up and will 
take a while.  Documentation mentioned a filehelper which  is supposed to be 
under my CMDB/services folder - which I never found.  Is  there another way? 
 
I have records in BMC.Asset already - should I  bring the .csv records into 
BMC.Asset and let the reconciliation engine  resolve the differences?
 
Also where can I find my reconciliation log?

Re: Incident Owner - ITSM 7.0.3 p8

2009-02-06 Thread McClure, Don
I'll confirm Chuck's observation for ITSM 7.0.3; we took our implementation one 
step further:

We purposefully constructed all Ownership and Assignment rules to be mutually 
exclusive; that is, a particular combination of entries for items 2 through 17 
as listed by J. T. may be matched by one-and only one!-rule for each of 
Assignment, and Ownership.  Such full specification eliminates the need to rely 
on estimation of which matching rule will be utilized-because only one such 
rule will match, period.

In particular-that means if one contact entity requests particular treatment 
for an operational or product combination, rules must be built for ALL OTHER 
possible operational and/or product combinations which utilize that same 
contact! Also, if one company requests particular treatment for one department, 
then other rules must be built for each other department within that same 
company.  More permutations can be observed on location.  Configurators need to 
be aware--this is an exercise in naïve set theory, which is potentially 
extensive and tedious-and can run afoul of de Morgan's laws on unions, 
intersections, and complements thereof very easily!!

Our implementation includes 239 potential customer contact points, and 60-odd 
product specifications beyond DSL, at last count. Fortunately, most of our 
customer contact groups do not specify product or operational criteria, which 
simplifies the combinations considerably.

This paradigm is very configurable-but with a lot of room for ambiguity and 
confusion.

**
To your first question, your observation is correct.  The order of Owner 
assignment appears to be:
  1.  If user has entered a value for Owner, use it
  2.  If there is an Owner rule in CFG:Assignment, use it
  3.  Use default Owner rules based on submitter, assigned group, etc.
To your second point, I have not had trouble getting rules to work based on 
Operational or Product categories, with one exception.  If you have multiple 
rules that have the same Tier 1 value and one has NULL for Tier 2 while the 
other is non-NULL, there seems to be ambiguity as to which one is located.  I 
would have expected the most-specific value to fire but we did not see that.  
We fixed it by ensuring that all rules used the same tiers populated.  You may 
be able to address this with sort order.

We did not observe that sort order overrode all the other values.  If true, I 
would think it is a bug.

I've got a question about Incident Owner assignment in ITSM 7.0.3. I've done 
some testing and read through the documentation and postings about this on 
ARSList but I have reached two conclusions that I wanted to get some feedback 
on from the list membership.



First, the Incident Owner assignment does work exactly as stated on pages 
125-126 of the Incident Management 7.0 User Guide but only if there isn't a 
Incident Owner entry for the company in the CFG:Assignment form. This tells me 
that CFG:Assignment overrides the OTB Incident Management Incident Owner 
assignment. Has anyone else found this to be true or disagree with this?



Second, if there are multiple Incident Owner entries for a given company in 
CFG:Assignment they are not selected by the most specific rule but rather by a 
long order by statement that looks like this:



ORDER BY 2 DESC,3 ASC,4 DESC,5 ASC,6 ASC,7 DESC,8 ASC,9 ASC,10 ASC,11 ASC,12 
ASC,13 ASC,14 ASC,15 ASC,16 ASC,17 ASC, 1 ASC



Where

2 is Event

3 is Sort Order

4 is Contact Company

5 is Organization

6 is Department

7 is Location Company

8 is Region

9 is Site Group

10 is Site+

11 is Operational Tier 1

12 is Operational Tier 2

13 is Operational Tier 3

14 is Product Tier 1

15 is Product Tier 2

16 is Product Tier 3

17 is Product Name

1 is Request ID (Record Number)



This, plus the fact that the filter matches most of these fields to a value or 
to NULL leads the to the net effect that the record with the lowest sort order 
will always be chosen regardless of the fields other than Contact Company and 
Location Company. Has anyone else found this to be true or disagree with this?



If I wanted to set up a set of Incident Owner assignments that would fire on 
different product and operational categorizations, what would be the best way 
to do it?

Re: Tomcat Settings for ARS 7.1

2009-02-06 Thread Joe DeSouza
Yes, so long as you understand that just because your server is 8GB, it doesn't 
mean that its the 'total available free memory'. Your total available free 
memory when tomcat is not running is 8GB minus whatever is consumed by other 
processes or applications that run on that server. So that could make that 
total available free memory down to about 5 or 6 depending on what other 
processes and applications share the system memory with tomcat.

Hope that helps..

Cheers

Re: Long shot, but I'll ask anyway

2009-02-06 Thread Easter, David
Perhaps (or perhaps not) an would be option to use the JSR-168 capability of AR 
System which would give you the ability to display a form as a portlet.  While 
not really a form within a form, it could enable you to create a portal that 
shows multiple forms at the same time...

This one is definitely web based - which you said you didn't want... but just 
throwing out ideas in case it sparks some other solution for you.

If it didn't require the user reauthenticating, yes that would be an option, 
but I want to display fields, not just graphical.

It would be nice if the data visualization control allowed a form view to be 
selected.  That would solve my problem without me learning a new program 
language so I can display Remedy info in Remedy, in a format that I need to.

BTW, the purpose of this is that the user has to load form, select, load form, 
etc to go around the workflow, data trail.  OR, I have to build customized 
views for each combination.  If I could load a form with in a DV control, or 
likewise, I can have them click, and load all within one form, streamlining 
customizations and user experience.  I guess Frames within a web page is the 
best analogy I can make.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

Oh.. wait a second... you said without use of web hum DFV's
require a Mid-Tier. :(

Ref: Integrating-710.pdf pg114.

Mid Tier-based graphing solutions. It provides an efficient way to add
graphical elements (such as flashboards) to AR System forms. This
field provides the following benefits:


Sorry... I guess that idea is not an option for you.


One advantage to the DVF's is that they have the users credentials
available to them. So I would hope that you could find a way to pass
that to the Mid-Tier to get the form (HTML/Javascript/CSS/etc..) and
pass that back to the ARS client for the run time user.

But it would require a Mid-Tier. Is that an option for you?

 Mark,

 What ARS version?

 I think this can be done in ARS v7.1 or higher with a Data
 Visualization. I have not done it, but it seems like it should be
 possible.

 This is likely something that cannot be done, but what the heck, can't hurt 
 to ask.

 Anyone know how to embed a form within a form in the client without use of 
 web?  Perhaps some API or control or other mechanism exists to do this.

 An alternative is if someone can show me how to securely pass authentication 
 from client to a web view so use doesn't have to reauthenticate, that may 
 work.  Again, not sure if this can be done...  I need to pass parameters 
 also, but that should not be as big an obstacle.

 Thanks,
 Mark

Yes, Tomcat is definitely running.  Although I have not done anything to 
configure IIS as yet.

Is Tomcat up and running?
 
Maybe the process is hung? Try restarting after making sure the java process 
that starts up tomcat is killed.

I saw something rush by here yesterday about Tomcat installation and the

that up there please show how to uncomment that, because I think I am having 
that problem - the localhost won't show anything when I try to open the page.

Recently I switched to patch 006 and it ceased to crash my tomcat server ever 
so often. In fact none of my 10 servers have crashed as yet and its been 3

006 which addressed OutOfMemory errors. Read the readme files for all the bugs 
that were resolved by Patch 006..

Tomcat and IIS must be both using the same port causing a conflict? What is
your port configuration? By default Tomcat should use 8080 and IIS should be
using 80.
