Re: Assigned Group Calendar it's not taking in consideration when creating a Change Request?
I forgot to say this tests are made on ITSM 7.0.3 in DB Oracle 10 On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 7:07 PM, Ana Leal abcl...@gmail.com wrote: Hi list. I'm making some tests concerning the Assigned Group on Change Requests. The last test I took is concerning the Earliest Start Date field. According to the workflow, I assume that this field must take the next earliest day/hour related to the Group assigned Calendar, since the qualification of the AL is an Application-Bus-Time-Add between this field and the Lead Time field. The strange thing is that if the $SERVERTIMESTAMP$ is on the interval we defined to the group's calendar, the field is filled with the actual day/hour. But if I change the Group's Calendar to an hour outside the $SERVERTIMESTAMP$ the AL adds 3 hours (the 3 is the Offset unit hour from the PROCESS Command) to that field, instead of checking how many hours should be calculated according to the Group's Calendar. Anyone has seen this before? Is there any Defect created by BMC?

Re: Re : AW: RESOVLED Re: Long Time Saving Active Link
Hi 권민석, (long live cut paste) After you save a workflow object, the server will re-cache its objects causing disruption to any connected users. Depending on the amount of memory and the amount of forms and workflow on your server, this can be for a significant amount of time. This is just one of the reasons you should never develop on a server that is actually used for production purposes... ;-) If you have a testing/dev environment, switch it to Development Cache Mode (look for it in the *Configuring* guide). This way, any connected users will have a better experience. There is a downside to this as well, it will affect overall performance of the server; you should NOT set a production system to Development Cache Mode.

Re: Re : AW: RESOVLED Re: Long Time Saving Active Link
I see - are you really sure that Development Cache Mode is on? You'd have to restart the server after setting the checkbox in order for the setting to take effect. But as I mentioned, you will be experiencing other kinds of performance issues - maybe the one you mentioned - if you are running Development Cache Mode on a production system. If you'd want to take my advice, to prevent performance issues, please do not use this on a production environment. In my experience, Development Cache Mode is a GREAT thing for test or development servers with only a couple of users; but will be able to bring your system to a grinding halt when large amounts of users are connected. Also, I would strongly advice not import workflow objects on a live server during business hours. Please use a downtime slot in your SLA for this and make sure no users are connected to your server (for instance setting Admin-Only mode and disconnecting all connected users). And, of course, make sure to communicate your scheduled downtime to your users...

Re: Archiving and reporting/searching?
If you are using the imbedded Archiving solution for AR System and you are doing an Archive Type of 'Copy to Archive', then creating a join does not make since because the data would still be in the original data form, so no need to a join. However, it you are doing a 'Copy to Archive and Delete form Source' then building a join is a good idea, however, doing a Join and choosing Request ID as the join criteria would not work. The problem is when the data moves to the Archive form the Request ID form the original data form is copied into a field called Original Request ID and the Request ID on the Archive form would never match the Request ID on the Original data form, as it gets a new Request ID when the record is moved to the Archive. Second, for a join on fields to work there has to be matching data in those fields on both forms. What we did was to include a field called Form Name that held the name of the original data form in it and then we did the join criteria on that field.

Re: Looking for best way to upgrade from 7.0.1 to 7.1.0
Tim, I will give you an account of what I have been through. We did the same thing as you going from 7.0 to 7.1 and we have 6 different environments that I did this on. It really depends on how you did your customizations because when a AL comes in from the patch it will overwrite what is OOB. So for example if you took an AL that was OOB and renamed it as your own and then made your changes and disabled the OOB one then all the patch would do is come through and re-enable the OOB one. So you would just have to disable the OOB one as well. Now if you just changed the OOB AL and did not rename it then the patch is going to blow out your changes. As for the forms, I was told by BMC and we experienced the same thing that if you add a custom field to a OOB form and do not use their range then you should be fine. We had the same experience in that all the fields we added where there and did not get deleted, however sometimes the patch does take them out of the view so change that before you start freaking out. So basically what we did after the patches is went through and did extensive testing on what the patch changed and then when we went to production we had a def file of all the stuff we needed to change back. Import the patch and then import the changes and we were good to go. It was actually easy doing in production but that was because we did a lot of testing. I did notice the most annoying thing was that the patch change permissions we added to OOB forms. Like the user form. We made it public read and every time we run a patch it seems like it removes that permission, but again those are the things we found out during testing. All in all I do not think it was too bad but again that depends on your development standards and how you change OOB forms and workflow. Let me know if I can be of anymore help.

Re: Archiving and reporting/searching?
Thanks for the info Chris. I would assume we would do the archive to delete from original. What is the value of archiving, but not deleting? (maybe I'm missing something).

If you are using the imbedded Archiving solution for AR System and you are doing an Archive Type of 'Copy to Archive', then creating a join does not make since because the data would still be in the original data form, so no need to a join.

Re: How do you PUSH to a Web Service ???
Sean, There is a 202 HTTP Result Code available for use in those situations where an immediate reply may not be available/practical. 202 means the data was received, but the result will be coming in a later message. The problem with using this type of interface is keeping track of everything to tie up all the loose ends, how to keep transactions in the proper order, when to do retransmits, etc. But, in some situations its better than having your threads tied up waiting for a response. I have this type of connection set up with a business partner. Be aware of Remedy bugs on AR System versions 7.0.1 patch 004 and beyond where axis handling of this result code changed. The bug is supposedly fixed in 7.5 patch 1 AR System and there is a workaround available for 7.0.1 AR System(use the axis.jar file from 7.0.1 patch 003 or before - I use 6.3 axis.jar). I am unsure if there is a workaround available for 7.1 AR System.

Re: how to import into currency fields?
Kaye, You don't say what format your load file resides in. Also, if you are trying to send data with $ characters, I believe you will have a problem.

Re: how to import into currency fields?
Kay, I noticed the same problem in 6.3. The workaround (I won't call it a fix) was this: 1) Create a character field in the form into which you are importing the data, or identify an existing one that isn't being used. 2) Create a Filter that fires on Merge that moves the data from the character field to the currency field. 3) Map your import to push the currency data to the character field. 4) When you are done, you can delete the character field (if you created one) and the Filter.

Re: Looking for best way to upgrade from 7.0.1 to 7.1.0
We just completed patching production from ITSM 7.0.03.007 to 009 last weekend. I rehearsed this on development several times, and the key is to identify all of the things that you will have to do afterwards on your test runs, and have them in a checklist with supporting def files beforehand. It gets _much_ more complicated if you also have to reapply an add-on patch like 9002 (we had to) or 9004 afterwards (our experience with 9002 caused us to avoid 9004). If you have a lot of custom fields, at a minimum they are going to get dropped off the updated form views and have to be added back... Migrator is THE best way to handle this chore, as well as any fields you moved, resized, or un-hid (we have some of all three on HPD:Help Desk). You will also find it necessary to review all of the workflow (ALs, Filters, both kinds of Guides, even Menus) the you had disabled and replaced with custom objects for _changes_ made by the patch. I found several where I had to modify my custom objects to incorporate changes (new Set Field or Change Field actions, or qualifications, or mappings On Open or On Close) made by the patch to the OOTB object, and of course re-disable the OOTB object. [example: Active Link INT:HPDTMS:INC:CreateNewTaskOpenTAS] This is the other place that Migrator will help you - identifying the workflow that the patch has changed that might affect your customizations. When we started testing, we were planning to add Asset Management to our system, which comes in at patch 003 and requires that you re-run patch 007 to bring it up even to the other apps (we went live on patch 007 in May 2008), which also reapplies 007 to your existing apps and wipes out their customizations. In this scenario, I had several hours of cleanup work to do plus the down time of installing Asset, and when we failed to acquire Asset I was able to drop this requirement. The problem is that patch 007 (and earlier) all may have devastating effects on your customizations since they overwrite some forms rather than update them, and replace a lot of form views. They also replaced a number of Report records with ones that have incorrect or NULL Locale information - I usually have to go back and re-set them to en_US manually. Patches 008 and 009 are much more benign by comparison, but they do include a complete re-design of the CTM:People Search form and several others to use external qualifications. It is an improvement, but it forced me to re-develop our customizations to that module completely. On the AR Server side, we originally rehearsed patching from ARS 7.1.00.002 to 006, and found that the main changes that affected our customizations were to the Password Management subsystem. For now I plan to leave it at 7.1.00.002 since I _supposedly_ can upgrade directly from 7.1.00.002 to 7.5.00.001. We'll see if that actually works. If you have Remedy Knowledge Management installed (which is a completely manual integration), patches before 008 would damage it, and 9002 would wipe it out completely. Nice to see that the BMC developers coordinated their patches so well with each other. Also, remember to flush your mid-tier cache after the patching process is complete and force a new pre-fetch of the updated applications.

If you'd want to take my advice, to prevent performance issues, please do not use this on a production environment. In my experience, Development Cache Mode is a GREAT thing for test or development servers with only a couple of users; but will be able to bring your system to a grinding halt when large amounts of users are connected. Also, I would strongly advice not import workflow objects on a live server during business hours. Please use a downtime slot in your SLA for this and make sure no users are connected to your server (for instance setting Admin-Only mode and disconnecting all connected users).

Re: Dealing with stolen Assets
I generally sell...err...I mean look for them on eBay.

Re: Dealing with stolen Assets
When we were using ITSM 5.6 and Asset Management 5.6 we had added a status option to AST:Asset and AST:Component of Stolen and trained our users to use that to indicate that the Asset was stolen. Now that were are on ITSM 7.02 with CMDB 2.01 we were advised to shy away from any changes to the CMDB Classes so we decided to use the Transferred status to signify stolen assets/CIs.

Eric, Thank you for a GREAT idea! Put the field on an un-used view. Frederick, what we are doing is creating a change log showing who changed what fields and when. So On Modify a filter queries the database to get the present values, and write these into the disply-only fields. There is a separate filter for each field, and if that field has changed, the filter writes a line to the log showing the old and new value. Is there a better way to do this?

Re: Dealing with stolen Assets
We created 2 standard locations/sites called LOST and STOLEN. We start with moving the assets to one of those sites once the asset is reported. We then process the item through the security protocol which varies with the class of the device. General the LOST/STOLEN process are document in Work Info records: Evidence of a theft is documented in the work info record for the asset including a police report number. Details of the how the device was lost is also processed (Fell over board on vacation) in the work info records. If IM, CM, or Task Management record are generated in the process they are related to the CI. For example the remote wipe and delete service task complete by operations for a lost Black Berry. This works for us; however, our financials are not integrated at this time with Remedy.

Re: Re : AW: RESOVLED Re: Long Time Saving Active Link
The way I understand workflow caching is that with Dev Cache Mode off user operations have a higher priority over admin operations. Admin changes will wait behind user activity for a good time to make the change/recache (not sure on the exact logic of finding a good time). With Dev Cache Mode on user operations are not given precedence over admin operations. This sounds consistent with what you are experiencing. Try turning off Dev Cache Mode and restarting the AR Server process. HTH, Jason On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 2:31 AM, 권민석 mskwo...@gmail.com wrote: ** Hi Michiel Beijen Thanks for your help.

If you are using the imbedded Archiving solution for AR System and you are doing an Archive Type of 'Copy to Archive', then creating a join does not make since because the data would still be in the original data form, so no need to a join. However, it you are doing a 'Copy to Archive and Delete form Source' then building a join is a good idea, however, doing a Join and choosing Request ID as the join criteria would not work. The problem is when the data moves to the Archive form the Request ID form the original data form is copied into a field called Original Request ID and the Request ID on the Archive form would never match the Request ID on the Original data form, as it gets a new Request ID when the record is moved to the Archive. Second, for a join on fields to work there has to be matching data in those fields on both forms. What we did was to include a field called Form Name that held the name of the original data form in it and then we did the join criteria on that field. However, you really need to be careful on doing reports off of this join form. I will give you duplicates. For example on one of the Data form to Archive form joins we have the following counts: A_Test_Data: 4,450,400 A_Test_Archive: 34 A_Test_JN: 151,313,600 If you do the math the 151,313,600 equals 4,450,400 x 34.

Qualification Anomaly discovered in Operational/Product Tiered Menus for Incident Managment 7.5.
All, I wanted to make everyone aware of an anomaly I found with the menu qualifications in the the Operational/Product tiered menus attached to the HPD:HelpDesk form in Incident Mgt v7.5.01. The qualifications, used in the Incident Mgt v7.5 menus to pull in the menu values from Company Module Relationship Config dialog forms for both the Operational and Product categorizations are different from the Incident Mgt 7.1 versions of the same menus (they are even the same name). The qualifications found in the v7.5 menus disables the functionality offered by the checkboxes under the support modules (User Service Restoration, Infrastructure Event etc) on the Company/Module Relationship configuration forms for displaying or hiding Categorizations based on Incident type field on the Incident form. NOTE: I have not compared the menu qualifications for Change and Problem Mgt menus yet. Has anyone else seen this behavior with ITSM patch 7.5.01? And if so have you put in a request for this to be fixed in the next patch for Remedy 7.5? Below is a side by side comparison of the menu qualifications from both 7.1 and 7.5.

If you are using the imbedded Archiving solution for AR System and you are doing an Archive Type of 'Copy to Archive', then creating a join does not make since because the data would still be in the original data form, so no need to a join. However, it you are doing a 'Copy to Archive and Delete form Source' then building a join is a good idea, however, doing a Join and choosing Request ID as the join criteria would not work. The problem is when the data moves to the Archive form the Request ID form the original data form is copied into a field called Original Request ID and the Request ID on the Archive form would never match the Request ID on the Original data form, as it gets a new Request ID when the record is moved to the Archive. Second, for a join on fields to work there has to be matching data in those fields on both forms. What we did was to include a field called Form Name that held the name of the original data form in it and then we did the join criteria on that field. However, you really need to be careful on doing reports off of this join form. I will give you duplicates. For example on one of the Data form to Archive form joins we have the following counts: A_Test_Data: 4,450,400 A_Test_Archive: 34 A_Test_JN: 151,313,600 If you do the math the 151,313,600 equals 4,450,400 x 34. So you really need to make sure when you are doing reports to use a lot of qualifications to eliminate getting duplicate records returned.

All, I wanted to make everyone aware of an anomaly I found with the menu qualifications in the the Operational/Product tiered menus attached to the HPD:HelpDesk form in Incident Mgt v7.5.01. The qualifications, used in the Incident Mgt v7.5 menus to pull in the menu values from Company Module Relationship Config dialog forms for both the Operational and Product categorizations are different from the Incident Mgt 7.1 versions of the same menus (they are even the same name). The qualifications found in the v7.5 menus disables the functionality offered by the checkboxes under the support modules (User Service Restoration, Infrastructure Event etc) on the Company/Module Relationship configuration forms for displaying or hiding Categorizations based on Incident type field on the Incident form. NOTE: I have not compared the menu qualifications for Change and Problem Mgt menus yet. Has anyone else seen this behavior with ITSM patch 7.5.01? And if so have you put in a request for this to be fixed in the next patch for Remedy 7.5? Below is a side by side comparison of the menu qualifications from both 7.1 and 7.5.

Re: Dealing with stolen Assets
I created a filter for our homegrown assets form. Whenever someone modifies the record with a status of Stolen or Missing, it notifies our property custodian - just in case the item becomes found. The custodian can contact the last-modified-by to determine the item's status. The Stolen/Missing record stays until we go through a certification process with our Finance Accounting office - usually after 2 or 3 years just to make sure it is not out there somewhere - after which it moves from Stolen/Missing to a Removed status.

Re: Qualification Anomaly discovered in Operational/Product Tiered Menus for Incident Managment 7.5.
All, I confirmed this issue with BMC and they submitted a Defect ticket on this issue. Hopefully they will resolve this issue hopefully in the next release and/or patch for ITSM 7.5. From: Bilinski, John [mailto:john.bilin...@usdoj.gov] Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 12:59 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Cc: Begosh, Kevin Subject: Qualification Anomaly discovered in Operational/Product Tiered Menus for Incident Managment 7.5. All, I wanted to make everyone aware of an anomaly I found with the menu qualifications in the the Operational/Product tiered menus attached to the HPD:HelpDesk form in Incident Mgt v7.5.01. The qualifications, used in the Incident Mgt v7.5 menus to pull in the menu values from Company Module Relationship Config dialog forms for both the Operational and Product categorizations are different from the Incident Mgt 7.1 versions of the same menus (they are even the same name). The qualifications found in the v7.5 menus disables the functionality offered by the checkboxes under the support modules (User Service Restoration, Infrastructure Event etc) on the Company/Module Relationship configuration forms for displaying or hiding Categorizations based on Incident type field on the Incident form. NOTE: I have not compared the menu qualifications for Change and Problem Mgt menus yet. Has anyone else seen this behavior with ITSM patch 7.5.01? And if so have you put in a request for this to be fixed in the next patch for Remedy 7.5? Below is a side by side comparison of the menu qualifications from both 7.1 and 7.5. Notice that dynamic field values from the Configuration forms (ex. $10001$) are used in the version 7.1 menus allowing for the menu to cross check to allow the Categorizations to display or hide: Operational Tiered Menus Primary Form: HPD:HelpDesk Secondary From: CFG:Service Catalog LookUp Operational Tier 1 Menu - CFG:CTL:S1-HPD-Q (ITSM 7.5.01) Qualification (7.5): ((('Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ('Status-CTA' = Enabled)) AND 'Company' = $Company$) OR ('Company' = - Global -)) AND ($Company$ != $NULL$)) OR ($Company$ = ))) AND (($Service Type$ = User Service Request) AND ('Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($Service Type$ = User Service Restoration) AND ('Service Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Restoration) AND ('Infra Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Event) AND ('Infra Event Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = $NULL$) AND ('Help Desk Selection' = Yes))) Qualification (7.1): ( 'Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ( 'Status-CTA' = Enabled) AND 'Company' = $11$) OR ( 'Company' = - Global - )) AND ($11$ != $NULL$ )) OR ($11$ =)) AND ((($100099$ = User Service Request) AND ( 'Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = User Service Restoration) AND ( 'Service Restoration Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = Infrastructure Restoration) AND ( 'Infra Restoration Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = Infrastructure Event) AND ( 'Infra Event Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = $NULL$ ) AND ( 'Help Desk Selection' = Yes))) Operational Tier 2 Menu - CFG:CTL:S2-HPD-Q (ITSM 7.5.01) Qualification (7.5): ('Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ('Status-CTA' = Enabled)) AND 'Company' = $Company$) OR ('Company' = - Global -)) AND ($Company$ != $NULL$)) OR ($Company$ = ))) AND (($Service Type$ = User Service Request) AND ('Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($Service Type$ = User Service Restoration) AND ('Service Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Restoration) AND ('Infra Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Event) AND ('Infra Event Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = $NULL$) AND ('Help Desk Selection' = Yes AND ('Categorization Tier 1' = $Categorization Tier 1$)) AND ('Categorization Tier 2' != $NULL$) Qualification (7.1): ( 'Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ( 'Status-CTA' = Enabled) AND 'Company' = $11$) OR ( 'Company' = - Global - )) AND ($11$ != $NULL$ )) OR ($11$ =)) AND ((($100099$ = User Service Request) AND ( 'Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = User Service Restoration) AND ( 'Service Restoration Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = Infrastructure Restoration) AND ( 'Infra Restoration Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = Infrastructure Event) AND ( 'Infra Event Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = $NULL$ ) AND ( 'Help Desk Selection' = Yes))) AND ( 'Categorization Tier 1' = $100063$) AND ( 'Categorization Tier 2' != $NULL$ ) Operational Tier 3 Menu - CFG:CTL:S3-HPD-Q Qualification (7.5): (('Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ('Status-CTA' = Enabled)) AND 'Company' = $Company$) OR ('Company' = - Global -)) AND ($Company$ != $NULL$)) OR ($Company$ = ))) AND (($Service Type$ = User Service Request) AND ('Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($Service Type$ = User Service
Re: how to import into currency fields?
What always worked for me, is to import with an additional zero to the end, like this: 123.95 USD 0. That's *a lot* simpler than using additional workflow. In this example, the 0 is the epoch value for the currency conversion date. If you are not using other currencies and the conversion functions in AR System (and I have yet to run into a client that does) then you will be just fine without it. -- Michiel Beijen Software Consultant +31 6 457 42 418 Bee Free IT + http://beefreeit.nl On Jun 10, 2009 5:47 PM, Rick Cook remedyr...@gmail.com wrote: ** Kay, I noticed the same problem in 6.3. The workaround (I won't call it a fix) was this: 1) Create a character field in the form into which you are importing the data, or identify an existing one that isn't being used. 2) Create a Filter that fires on Merge that moves the data from the character field to the currency field. 3) Map your import to push the currency data to the character field. 4) When you are done, you can delete the character field (if you created one) and the Filter.
