Re: Need to export 12,000,000 or so records...
Hi, RRR|Chive can certainly copy or move the records from one server to another, or to another form on the same machine. I have note yet implemented the ARX-format though, if that is a requirement...

Re: Defined Search
Atul, You did not mention your ARS version. However, I would look at the preference server. It stores Searches for the user. You should be able to figure out how to submit a record to the AR System User Central File form ('FileType' = Search) so that the user would see the saved Searches in their client(s). You will need to attach a file, in a specific (undocumented?) format. However that can be done. At first glance it looks like a single file for all forms for all searches. So you likely will need to write a program that can parser and insert in to an existing file. However adding to the file looks easy enough to me. [ Basically: Parse to find the Schema blocks, find the Schema block with the 'Schema Name' that you want to add to, get the current number of 'Num Searches' and increment it by one(or N), add the new Search(es) block at the end of the Schema block.] Oh... I would defiantly go through the API (Or use the ARS Server, via Filter commands, to save the file off to the server, call your script to edit the file, and re-attache the file with later filter actions.) to make changes to the attachments. I have never heard of anyone successfully changing an attachment content directly in the ARS DB. (Maybe it can be done, but ... why would you want to work that hard?) A sample (from my 6.3 server) NOTE: The format may change at any time. (As far as I know this is an internal format and is not defined as an interface for customers to be writing directly too.) NOTE2: There are Ctrl+A characters in the QBE Data (That is Query By Example(QBE), Later changed to Search By Example(SBE) for you new ARS kiddies in the group. :) ) So be careful with how those are used.

Re: Change Management 7.5
The simple solution is to cancel that change, and use the Copy Change function to create a new one. All the approvals would therefore fire on the new change.

Re: Case Upper or Lower
We have an Oracle DB and thus, we are case sensitive. Because of this, we've chosen to make any character fields that a user will be doing a lookup on (last name, first name, product name, host name) Upper case. We found that upper case was easier to read as sometimes an l (lower case L) can be interpreted as an uppercase I (as in India) or the number 1. For Drop down menu's like CTI stuff, we just left it Case insensitive since users will be mostly selecting from a drop down. In hindsight, everything in CAPS would have been better.

That is what we did, everything in the DB is upper case. But from the user stance it is seamless. Most of the data that the user interacts with we turned to all caps when it was being passed to the DB.

For Drop down menu's like CTI stuff, we just left it Case insensitive since users will be mostly selecting from a drop down. In hindsight, everything in CAPS would have been better.

Remedy for facilities management
Hi listers, Just wanted to reach out and get a quick poll from the list as to whether you have used Remedy to cater to your organizations Facilities Management needs. Here are the areas of particular interest: Preventative and Reactive Maintenance on Facilities assets such as HVAC, UPS, going down to fire extinguishers, building systems such as Heat, AC, Doors, Roofs... (ideally with all of these things integrated with ITSM 7.x and the CMDB/Asset Management) Self Service for end users requesting facilities requests via SRM Mobile Access via Aeroprise for facilities technicians who always work away from their desks, needing to close down a ticket. If you can confirm that you do use remedy for some or all of these purpose, it would be much appreciated; the driver is that we need to give our Facilities group some assurance that if they were to go down this path, they would not be alone, and that this has successfully been done by other organizations. We are particularly interested in knowing of organizations with a large multi-building campus as well as sites in various countries that use the system to manage Facilities work. If you have any type of integration to a dedicated Facilities Management system such as ARchibus, details on that would be very useful also. Thanks Randeep _ Ready. Set.

Re: AREA LDAP plug-in
We have the same setup and using a single hostname eventually came back to bite us when someone decommissioned the server without telling us. I don't think there is a way to run multiple plugins, but what we did was use a load-balanced virtual IP in place of a host name. This way the DCs can change at will as long the new ones are added to the load balancer. It also eliminated us from having to maintain a list of active DCs.

Firewall TCP Timeouts
Hello, We have a firewall between our MidTier server and ARS system. The firewall is configured to drop tcp connections after being idle for 60 minutes (typical/default firewall setting). Several MidTier user sessions will make use of a shared tcp connection so you might have 100 sessions but significantly fewer tcp connections. During idle times (like at night), the firewall will discard these idle tcp connections but the MidTier server will still retain these tcp references (this can be seen by using netstat -anto). So, when users get back on the system, MidTier apparently is trying to utilize one of these defunct tcp connections so you end up with problems like ARERR 91 rpc timeouts because these tcp connections are broken pipes. Is there a MidTier/Tomcat or other setting that you have found addresses this problem? Thanks.

Re: Firewall TCP Timeouts
You need to configure your firewall properly. With a firewall, you can define what types of packets can create a state entry on the firewall. Typical is syn, syn ack. Even if there is no state entry, a new packet should create a new state (not be dropped). If a new packet does not create a new state, change the firewall rules so that it does. A network dump will tell you what type of packet is going out; the firewall logs should tell you what type of packet was rejected. I could see that this would be a problem if the midtier servers were behind a NAT. Is this the case?

However, I would look at the preference server. It stores Searches for the user. You should be able to figure out how to submit a record to the AR System User Central File form ('FileType' = Search) so that the user would see the saved Searches in their client(s). You will need to attach a file, in a specific (undocumented?) format. However that can be done. At first glance it looks like a single file for all forms for all searches. So you likely will need to write a program that can parser and insert in to an existing file. However adding to the file looks easy enough to me. [ Basically: Parse to find the Schema blocks, find the Schema block with the 'Schema Name' that you want to add to, get the current number of 'Num Searches' and increment it by one(or N), add the new Search(es) block at the end of the Schema block.] Oh... I would defiantly go through the API (Or use the ARS Server, via Filter commands, to save the file off to the server, call your script to edit the file, and re-attache the file with later filter actions.) to make changes to the attachments. I have never heard of anyone successfully changing an attachment content directly in the ARS DB. (Maybe it can be done, but ... why would you want to work that hard?) A sample (from my 6.3 server) NOTE: The format may change at any time. (As far as I know this is an internal format and is not defined as an interface for customers to be writing directly too.) NOTE2: There are Ctrl+A characters in the QBE Data (That is Query By Example(QBE), Later changed to Search By Example(SBE) for you new ARS kiddies in the group. :) ) So be careful with how those are used. They look important. :) Num Schemas=328 Schema { Schema Name =User Server Name =ar.server.some.com Num Searches =3 Search { QBE Data=101=bob QBE String=Login Name=bob String= } Search { QBE Data=101=bob2 QBE String=Login Name=bob2 String= } Search { QBE Data= QBE String= String='Login Name' = bob3 } } I think the Mid-Tier started supporting saved searches (from the preference server) in v7.1.

Parse Group Members for Notification
Group, We have created some custom workflow and notifications outside of the Notification Engine that ITSM uses. We want to take advantage of the user notification preferences as part of this. I turned logging on for the ootb notification process. I see that for group notifications, a notify record is created for each user in the group. Then the user preferences are checked to see if the notification should be sent. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to create a record for each of the group members on my notify form. I know the support group name and the group name for it from the group form. I looked over the log file for longer than I want to admit. I cannot seem to identify how bmc creates the individual notify records for the support group members. Any ideas?

Re: Parse Group Members for Notification
Do you mean that for a given group, you want to create a notification record for each individual in the group, meaning that the problem is how to get the list of members of the group and iterate over that list to create a new record for each one? If that's the case, the group memberships of people are stored in the CTM:Support Group Association form. In principle, you should be able to create a table that references this form, filtering on the support group name, that you can run a filter guide on to iterate over all the records in the table. You can then create an individual notification record for each row in the table. Does that address what you're trying to do? Otherwise, the OOTB workflow handles group notifications a little differently than individual notifications. Individual notifications (e.g., Customer, Assignee, etc.) are processed immediately - so you'll immediately see the notification record for that individual when you perform an action on a record that generates a notification. However, for group notifications, it does it in two steps. First it creates an initial entry for the group, and then an escalation (maybe SYS:NPC:IM1-TriggerGroupNTG) takes care of processing the group notifications to generate the individual notifications. That may be why you weren't seeing it in your log files - if you didn't wait long enough, the escalation may not have fired before you turned off logging. Sorry for not providing more detail - I'm trying to be quick writing this while hoping that the general information will help steer you in the right direction. If any of this doesn't make sense, let me know.

Oracle in-row LOB storage issue - IM 7.03
I've read a LOT of the documentation, etc, regarding how LOB storage works (including Axton's very fine wiki on this topic) and I'm pretty familiar with it in theory. We are doing a data migration at the moment which is using an enormous amount of space. We are in the process of migratiing 330,000 records as a test. This has used (so far) 33 GB of table space. We only have 47 GB in this test system. Considering the actual ARX exports were 1 GB something is clearly not right here. Initial consultation with a DBA has indicated these rows in the T1114 (aka, HPD:HelpDesk) are LOB's: C105940 z1D Template Related CI C100151 Detailed Decription C100156 Resolution C103742 z1D Mobile Worklog Upd C300270900 Reason Description All of these are character fields set to 0 (unlimited) length. The questions I have are: 1.) If a LOB is 4K it is stored out of row regardless. Can anyone tell me how to determine the space used by any of those particular fields in Oracle? And how I can tell if these are in fact being stored out of row due to the unlimited option on the field? 2.) Aren't z1D fields supposed to be Display only according to Remedy's design and naming conventions? I'm pretty sure that is the case but both of the fields above with that prefix are stored as optional.

Re: Oracle in-row LOB storage issue - IM 7.03
Hi, In most cases, as I understand, it is definitely better to not use the out-row-lob-setting. This will save a lot of space and time for the DB.
