SV: ARServer Plugin Server

2009-09-15 Thread Jonas Stumph Stevnsvig
Hi Franklin 
If I remember correctly, the Arpluginsvr is monitored by the armonitor (on 
windows anyway), I have noticed that the Armonitor process restarts any process 
it is monitoring as soon as it is killed. I assume that the behaviour is 
similar on *nix systems.

I frequently restart the Java plugin server in this way, and that is also 
under the armonitor.


with regards,

Franklin,

I can't speak for UNIX, but for windows you can set the parameters regarding 
the restart of a service.  Right-click on the specific service and select 
properties. Then go to the tab marked Recovery. You then can choose First 
Failure action, Second Failure action and then Subsequent Failures action. 
There are a few other items by those I mention will greatly increase your 
control. Default is Take No Action.

Re: Upgrade AR System from 7.0 to 7.5

2009-09-15 Thread Miguel Suarez Gomez
Hi everybody!

Finally I could migrate from 7.1 to 7.5.

Although the installer finished with errors, the only had to import the
original customized system forms and the AR System Administration Console.

I'd like to thank everybody for the help

Regards,

Miguel

 Ok, thank you very much for the answer, Isabel.

 Now, I'm trying to do the upgrade in two steps:

- First, upgrade from 6.3 to 7.1 (Succeded)
- Second, upgrade from 7.1 to 7.5

 I didn't try the second step yet. I hope to send you good news when I have
 done it!!!

 Regards,

 Miguel

 ** Miguel

 We have upgraded our training system from 6.3 to 7.5 and got there in the
 end!  I just sent a long reply to Kathy but it bounced so I'll keep this one
 short in case it doesn't work either.

 We had a lot of different issues upgrading and were on the phone to our
 support partners a LOT.  We are on Solaris.  I'd recommend looking at the
 specific error messages and the files that are created 
 (arsystem_install_log.txt,
 ARServer-RIKPostUpgrade.log etc).

 I had to delete our user preference and admin preference forms before it
 would install cleanly.

 If you use archiving, there is a known error and a workaround to manually
 amend the column archiveFromForm in the table schema_archive.

 I had to manually amend the behavior and permission columns in
 FILTER_NOTIFY, changing the value from 0 to NULL before the upgrade and
 changing it back afterwards.

 Regards
 Isabel

 The fact is that this kind of migration is supported by the installer
 (confirmed in the install guide).

 Do you know any known issues or any tips about it?

 Make darn sure that you have planned for recovery (back up db before each
 step, and make copies of all file directories before beginning), and have
 tested recovery procedures (restore db from backup, and deleting or renaming
 file folders for applications left behind by any failed install) for each
 step of the upgrade, ESPECIALLY for the AtriumCore installer which I have
 only seen succeed once in our environment with the minimum number of
 features.  Some of the app installers had to be run a second time to clear
 all errors; not all of them will run more than once against the same file
 structure.  I am waiting for the 7.5.00.003 patches to come out before I try
 any of this again.



 Known problems with AIE, if you have it installed, are that it must be
 patched to at least 7.1.00.004 before the upgrade, and if it fails it will
 delete not only the instance that you are upgrading but any other instances
 that are installed on the same server in the default directory.  I don’t
 know what the prerequisites are if you are coming in from 7.0 instead of
 7.1, but I would expect there to be some.



 If you have customized ANY forms or workflow, rehearse and script the
 restoration of those customizations as it is a good bet that the various 7.5
 upgrade installers will overwrite them.  Some, like searching for customers
 in ITSM 7.0, have been _*extensively*_ rewritten and that will break any
 customizations that you have made to the module.  If you are just using ARS,
 not ITSM, the password management code changed a lot from 7.0 to 7.1 and
 again to 7.5.



 Suggestion: if you have any flashboards that are actively storing
 History, edit them to have a current start date and an expiration period,
 and still watch out for an explosion of data in the FB:History table.  After
 upgrading from 7.1 to 7.5, and at the end of one month, our FB:History form
 suddenly gained 41 million records in two days.



 My last testing was in July with all patch 002 distributions on Windows
 x64 platforms, so your experience will be different but some of the pitfalls
 will be the same.

ARERR 298 Too Many Filter since upgrade to 7.1

2009-09-15 Thread Shellman, David
We upgraded to 7.1 Patch 7 (Windows/Oracle) from 7.0.1 over the weekend.  Since 
then we are seeing issues a large number of Too many filters processed during 
this operation (ARERR 298) errors.  Most are associated with escalations but 
we are also seeing it in when individuals are updating records in our home

Yesterday I updated the Maximum Filters for an Operation to 2.  I just 
bumped it to 4.

Any ideas of what parameters to change to or reasonable values is greatly 
appreciated.

Dave,
It may or may not be the case with you but,

We faced the same error when we were using the qualification TR.Status !=
DB.Status  instead of Status != DB.Status.

We got rid of this error when i corrected the qualification. This was during
the upgrade from ARS 6.0 to ARS 7.1

Well it depends on what the problem is.  A lot of the times it does fix it 
though.  Most of the time I have received that it seemed like the arplugin 
server was running high for some reason and stopping the process and letting it 
restart fixed the issue.

Hi,
 
I've asked this question before but the proposed solutions doesn't seem to work.
 
Background: everytime we create a new field in this form, the database id is 
being set to a core field (e.g. 21)
 
We tried the following approaches:
1. Manually set the database id of the field to 702xx before saving.
    Result: database id still set to core field id after saving.
2. Set the nextFieldId in arschema to 702xx directly in the database.
    Result: database id still set to core field id after saving. after checking 
the nextFieldId in arschema, it has been reverted back to core field id.
    
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this and why the nextFieldId is not being 
followed and being modified back to core field?
 
Thanks!

Kali

Re: ARERR 298 Too Many Filter since upgrade to 7.1

2009-09-15 Thread Shellman, David
Peter,

Thanks.  Support just got back to me an noted that the default is 10,000 but 
that most applications need 200,000 to 660,000.  From the Configuring 
documentation Defines the number of filters that can be performed in an 
operation. The default and recommended number is 1. Increase this number at 
your own risk only if you reach a limit in your system and you have verified 
that your workflow is valid.

They also noted trying to increase the Filter Stack Size to a minimum of 
200,000.  If the they are referring to Maximum Stack of Filters, then 200,000 
is not a valid number.  100,000 is the maximum.  Also the Configuration 
documentation gives a similar warning as Maximum Filters for an Operation.

 Dave,
 It may or may not be the case with you but,

 We faced the same error when we were using the qualification TR.Status !=
 DB.Status  instead of Status != DB.Status.

 We got rid of this error when i corrected the qualification. This was
 during

ARS/ITSM 7.5 on Solaris/Intel box? On Sun's Virtual Box for Intel?

2009-09-15 Thread Rabi Tripathi
Hi folks,
I need to create a ARS 7.5/ITSM setup to play with. Preferably on Solaris. I 
have no Sun box readily available.

I'm thinking of either using a dedicated Intel box with Solaris, or just use 
Sun's Virtual box on my existing Windows PC. 
(http://dlc.sun.com/virtualbox/vboxdownload.html)

Anybody done either?

ARS 7.5 compatibility matrix has bad news:
Solaris running on x86 or x64 processors is not supported.

But, is not the same as saying it will notwork, so I want to take my chances, 
unless somebody tells me...forget it. I'm not sure if code like  ARS' written 
for Solaris is hardware dependent. Is it? What happened to abstraction?

Searches I tried on arslist turned up nothing, so I have a feeling either I am 
wasting my time with this idea, or my search skills are not as good as i think 
they are.

Re: ARS/ITSM 7.5 on Solaris/Intel box? On Sun's Virtual Box for Intel?

2009-09-15 Thread Lyle Taylor
There's a big difference between Solaris running on Sun processors and Solaris 
running on Intel processors.  It's kind of like the difference between PCs and 
the old Macintoshes (before they switched to using Intel processors).  
Basically, it's an entirely different hardware platform, and the binaries are 
compiled for the specific hardware platform they are intended to run on.  
Abstraction has nothing to do with it.  Basically, if the AR server was 
compiled for Sun processors, it simply will not run on Intel processors.

Correct, you would need ARS for Solaris X86 Server.
not ARS for Solaris for Sunos.. Which is what is currently  availible.

ARSystem 7.5p2, Linux/oracle install error

2009-09-15 Thread Doug Blair

Good Morning, listers!

I am building a small Demo Remedy server box on Red Hat Linux with a  
local Oracle-xe (that's the free, limited use, Oracle 10.2.0.1) on  
x86_64bit.


OS install - OK: Linux 2.6.18-128.7.1.e15

Oracle install: OK, I think: Installer script completes and database  
starts, the web console (apex) displays and appears to function  
normally, login as SYSTEM via apex is OK, login as SYSTEM via SQLPLUS  
is OK


ARSystem 7.5 patch 002 ARSuiteKit installer starts, runs through  
everything up to the Database DBA information validation warning,  
which reads


Warning! Oracle client libraries do not have the appropriate  
privileges or 64 bit libraries or Oracle Connection Identifier is  
mistyped and an unknown error occurred. Set the appropriate privileges  
and retry the installation (and a pointer to the compatibility matrix)


Sort of a catch-all error message, but in the install log there's a  
clue as to which of these three it might be. The  
arsystem_install_log.txt contains the text


INVALID_OCI_LIB_PERMISSION

here's the log context:

 LOG EVENT {Description=[SET PROPERTY  
BMC_DATABASE_INPUT_VALID],Detail=[false]}

Nothing in my ARSLIST archives. There is one entry in BMCDN that  
mentions the installer warning text, but it appears to be a case where  
the database and the ARSystem are on two different machines and was  
resolved by installing 32 bit client libraries


Where can I find exactly which permissions are required by what  
account and/or file to address this error?

Re: ARSystem 7.5p2, Linux/oracle install error

2009-09-15 Thread Lyle Taylor
In my experience this error may not have _anything_ to do with permissions.  
It's still a catch-all error.  Things to verify:

1) Is ORACLE_HOME set to the correct value in the shell you're running the 
installer in?
2) Is $ORACLE_HOME/lib included in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable?
3) Is $ORACLE_HOME/bin included in your PATH variable?

Next, you'll have to make sure that you have a tnsnames.ora file configured for 
your database that Remedy can use to be able to connect to it.

It seems I may have had to look at a couple other things when I was seeing this 
error (I can't recall any more), but at no time did it have anything to do with 
permissions...

Re: ARS/ITSM 7.5 on Solaris/Intel box? On Sun's Virtual Box for Intel?

Lyle,
Ok, may be I was being too optimistic.

However, if you want to use PC/Mac analogy, you should talk about
Windows on Intel
 vs 
Windows on PowerPC, if such a thing ever existed. 

I know people ran windows stuff on Mac/PowerPC using emulation software, but 
that's not the same as using Windows on PowerPC, which would be the right 
analogy.

OS at the core is an abstraction over the hardware, and is made up of APIs that 
shield or prevent the programmer from dealing with intimate details of the 
hardware. Or so I think. Most programs/programmers don't worry about how many 
registers of what kind, op code, what machine langauge, what BUS, what file 
system etc is underneath. 

When Sun ports Solaris to Intel, aren't they the ones that would make sure 
that machine code in executables somehow run ok on Intel boxes, through 
whatever means necessary? 
Or, I guess BMC is supposed to merely recompile everyting on Solaris/windows to 
get machine code for Itenl, and that's what's lacking. When the compatibility 
matrix says not supported, it's misleading to me, as that term is often used 
to indicate that the only thing lacking is a thorough official testing. If it

AW: ARERR 298 Too Many Filter since upgrade to 7.1

2009-09-15 Thread Conny Martin
David,

we noticed the same problem after upgrading to 7.1(from 6.3). I did some 
investigations and found out that before 7.1 only filters were counted if the 
at least one action of the filter was executed. In 7.1 every filter is counted 
regardless if an action is executed or not. We multiplied the Maximum filters 
for an Operation by 10 and everything is fine now.

HTH

Peter,

Thanks.  Support just got back to me an noted that the default is 10,000 but 
that most applications need 200,000 to 660,000.  From the Configuring 
documentation Defines the number of filters that can be performed in an 
operation. The default and recommended number is 1. Increase this number at 
your own risk only if you reach a limit in your system and you have verified 
that your workflow is valid.

They also noted trying to increase the Filter Stack Size to a minimum of 
200,000.  If the they are referring to Maximum Stack of Filters, then 200,000 
is not a valid number.  100,000 is the maximum.  Also the Configuration 
documentation gives a similar warning as Maximum Filters for an Operation.

 Dave,
 It may or may not be the case with you but,

 We faced the same error when we were using the qualification 
 TR.Status != DB.Status  instead of Status != DB.Status.

 We got rid of this error when i corrected the qualification. This was 
 during the upgrade from ARS 6.0 to ARS 7.1

Re: ARS/ITSM 7.5 on Solaris/Intel box? On Sun's Virtual Box for Intel?

2009-09-15 Thread Lyle Taylor
You're right - the analogy isn't perfect.  The point was really just that the 
hardware platform is different and the binaries must be compiled for the 
platform they're running on.  Maybe Linux running on Intel vs. Linux running on 
PowerPC would have been better.

You are correct that the OS APIs provide a layer of abstraction _for the 
programmer_, but the programmer then compiles the abstracted program for a 
specific hardware architecture which is specific to the type of CPU the program 
is intended to run on.  That's the case here.

Agreed on the compatibility matrix.  In this case, I just know that the two 
hardware platforms are not compatible, and can infer from that that the Sun 
hardware version of AR server will not be able to run on the Intel version of 
Solaris.

2009-09-15 Thread Easter, David
To the best of my knowledge, the AR System executables created for Sun SPARC 
architecture will not work properly on a Solaris x86 nor Solaris x64 box.  When 
we spoke with Sun Microsystems representatives on this topic a couple of years 
ago, that is what they stated to BMC - i.e. that complex binaries compiled on 
Solaris SPARC would need to be recompiled on Solaris x86 or x64 to operate 
correctly on the Solaris x86/x64 architecture.

Web-based memory issue

2009-09-15 Thread William Rentfrow
Hi listers...
 
One of our Remedy instances is running on IM 7.03 with MT 7.1 patch 5.
She is running a large Incident search that returns ~100,000 records (1
month worth of issues in our case) which she then wants to run an AR
report off of.
 
The search fails with an Exception error but works when the query is
split into 1-week chunks.  I get the same results when I do it on my
machine.  Two weeks worth of Incidents is about 53,000 of them and that
uses up 973 MB of local RAM on my machine in IE 6.  I get an out of
memory error when I try to retrieve more which is slightly different
than her machine but I can't guarantee our machines are the same
configuration.
 
For all appearances this is just a local workstation memory issue and I
can't think of any way to address that other than adding memory to her
machine.  But just to be thorough I thought I'd ask if anyone else ran
into this and if there was any sort of tuning they thought of to fix it.

Re: Web-based memory issue

2009-09-15 Thread Lyle Taylor
If you have access to the Windows User Tool (WUT) it will use less memory when 
processing queries like that (although, 100,000 records is still a lot for it, 
especially if you're pulling back Incidents).  The question I have, though is 
where you're actually running out of memory.  It's possible that your AR server 
or Mid Tier could be running out of memory trying to process such a large 
query.  If that's the case, adding memory to your machine or hers will not help 
any.

Given the large number of records, if you can work with it, it's probably a 
good idea to break it up into smaller queries like 1 week chunks like you 
tried.  That's less likely to cause issues with the server or Mid Tier as well.

Subject: Web-based memory issue

**
Hi listers...

One of our Remedy instances is running on IM 7.03 with MT 7.1 patch 5.  She is 
running a large Incident search that returns ~100,000 records (1 month worth of 
issues in our case) which she then wants to run an AR report off of.

The search fails with an Exception error but works when the query is split 
into 1-week chunks.  I get the same results when I do it on my machine.  Two 
weeks worth of Incidents is about 53,000 of them and that uses up 973 MB of 
local RAM on my machine in IE 6.  I get an out of memory error when I try to 
retrieve more which is slightly different than her machine but I can't 
guarantee our machines are the same configuration.

For all appearances this is just a local workstation memory issue and I can't 
think of any way to address that other than adding memory to her machine.  But 
just to be thorough I thought I'd ask if anyone else ran into this and if there 
was any sort of tuning they thought of to fix it.

Re: Mid Tier 7.5 Installation

2009-09-15 Thread Kemes, Lisa
We use Tomcat and Port 8080 for our mid tier.  For some reason the installation 
of Tomcat from the Midtier comments out the Connector = port 8080 line and I 
have to uncomment it.  It never did that before, so I wasn't looking for that.

It's working now though!

Thanks!

Lisa,

It is not port 8080, but port 80 since you are using IIS as the web server and 
using tomcat just as a servlet jsp engine..

After installing the new Mid-tier, did you install it in the same directories 
where the earlier mid-tier was installed?

If not did you give the IUSR_servername user that runs the IIS service, 
permissions to read and execute your new Mid-Tier directories?

If not do that, restart the IIS server, and then try again using the url

http://IISServername/arsys/shared/config/config.jsp

You do not need to use the port parameter as IIS uses a default port of 80

Lyle,

Yes, still getting Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

I'm looking through your recent thread about checking Tomcat stuff, and you 
give some really good things to look at.  My server.xml file is commenting out 
this section:

!-- -comment out port 8080
Connector port=8080 maxHttpHeaderSize=8192 URIEncoding=UTF-8 
maxThreads=150 minSpareThreads=25 maxSpareThreads=75
   enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 acceptCount=100
   connectionTimeout=2 disableUploadTimeout=true /

   end comment out port 8080   --

Maybe that's why it's not working?  Why would it do that?  We were using port 
8080 before.  Since we've been having some problems with this installation, I 
decided to uninstall Tomcat again and uninstall Mid Tier.  Then I reinstalled 
the Mid Tier and had the Mid Tier installation re-install Tomcat for me.

I took out the comments and now it is working!  Thanks!

Lisa

I think I'm missing something really easy here.  I successfully upgraded the 
Mid Tier one of our servers last week without any problems.  Today, I'm 
upgrading another one of our Mid Tier servers and having problems.  These are 
only Mid Tier servers, so I'm not installing anything else.

The only difference between last week and this week is that I decided to 
completely uninstalled the older version of the Mid Tier this time and install 
7.5 (we had 7.0.1 p5 before), last week, I just upgraded.

Tomcat 5.5.25
IIS 6
Windows 2003
ARS MidTier 7.5

After installation, I'm trying to get to 
http://yourWebServer:optionalPortNumber/arsys/shared/config/config.jsp from the 
server's IE and my desktop's IE and I'm just not connecting at all.

Getting Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

We have a fairly simple Mid Tier set up.  Nothing fancy.

Can someone tell me where to begin?  I checked all the logs as well and I can't 
find any warnings are severe errors or anything

Re: MidTier 7.5 and View Fields

It was the license feature (Mid Tier no longer hogs a license for 1 hour when 
the customer closes the browser) on 7.5.

We're working on deploying a similar arrangement.  We decided to do that, 
because the 7.5 Mid Tier has better performance than the 7.1 version, 
especially when recovering from flushing the cache.  In addition, they have 
made some visual improvements in how some GUI elements are rendered in the 
browsers.  For example, page holders now render better - the area to the right 
of the tabs at the top of the table is now the proper background color (the 
color of the page around it and not the color of the tabs below it).

We have updated to MidTier 7.5 p2 but using ARS 7.1 for our AR Application 
Server (should be no big deal).

We found out that our View Fields are acting really strange.  We just use them 
for text (with HTML code) and it seems like the view fields are ignoring the 
HTML code.

For example: on my TEXT form, I have:

PreHTML = DIV align=rightfont face=arial size=2b
PostHTML = /b/DIV/font
Header 1 = XYZ Company

So when I'm setting the H1 field in my SURVEY Form I put:
($PreHTML$ + $Header 1$) + $PostHTML$

This worked in MidTier 7.0.1 p5, but now it's ignoring the html code and all 
the text is off.

SLM Milestones Not Using Business Time?

2009-09-15 Thread Jon Chau
Hello Listers,

Based on my experience, it appears that milestone actions that fire off of
service targets in SLM do not use business time.  Example - I have a
milestone action that sends a notification 300% of Goal time from start.
Even though business time segments are configured to be available only
Monday-Friday from 8:00AM - 5:00PM, the action still gets sent out during
the weekend.

Is this how it is supposed to work?  If so, how would I configure my
milestone actions to not fire during the weekend/unavailable times?

Thanks,
Jon

Re: ARS/ITSM 7.5 on Solaris/Intel box? On Sun's Virtual Box for Intel?

 Hi folks,
 I need to create a ARS 7.5/ITSM setup to play with. Preferably on Solaris. I

 I'm thinking of either using a dedicated Intel box with Solaris, or just use 
 Sun's Virtual box on my existing Windows PC. 
 (http://dlc.sun.com/virtualbox/vboxdownload.html)

 Anybody done either?

 ARS 7.5 compatibility matrix has bad news:
 Solaris running on x86 or x64 processors is not supported.

 But, is not the same as saying it will notwork, so I want to take my chances, 
 unless somebody tells me...forget it. I'm not sure if code like  ARS' written 
 for Solaris is hardware dependent. Is it? What happened to abstraction?

 Searches I tried on arslist turned up nothing, so I have a feeling either I 
 am wasting my time with this idea, or my search skills are not as good as i 
 think they are.
