Merge Computer System Owner to Asset
I need a little help merging the 'Owner name' as (ffrontline) from BMC.CORE:BMC_ComputerSystem to the Asset Computer System. I can't seem to find out how to merge the asset to the user (ffrontline) in the People form. Is there a reconciliation job that needs to be created for this? The people tab with a table of owners in the asset (Computer Systems). thats the relationship I'm trying to setup.

Re: Merge Computer System Owner to Asset
John, If you search the ARSLIST google group, you’ll find multiple posts about this. However, the quick and dirty for this in 7.1 requires you to do some customization and create some filters that do some validation and then a push to the Ast:AssetPeople form. HTH.

AIE 7.6 Data Exchange Names
You cannot have special characters including : in a Data Exchange name in AIE 7.6. While this is not that big of a deal to use an underscore instead of a colon, if you import AIE jobs from a different version the import tool while not throw an error. The upgrade also does not convert your current job exchange names. If you try to modify these exchanges then you will receive an error due to the invalid special character. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: Where the Answers Are

Re: Delete entry
Joe, There was either a mis-statement, a mis-communication, or a mis-understanding. If you have the escalation do the work or you have the escalation push a flag or field to the record and have filters do the work, you are working IN LINE. There is no difference. There is no deferring or asynchrous process running. Now, you mention the notification server specifically in your note. This is really a quite different kettle of fish. What you are doing in this case is not pushing a flag, but creating a record in a work queue form. No specific workflow fires on creating this record, you are just creating a record to indicate that there is work you want done. You then can complete processing and continue. A separate process/escalation comes along later and reads the work queue form and picks up entries and then performs work. This work is asynchronous to your initial operation. DSO, Approval, Assignment, Email, and various other subsystems all work this way. Rather than delaying all your work, you just put an entry in a command queue for processing by the appropriate engine at a later time (generally later is within seconds but things may queue if there is heavy load). So, if you are just setting a flag to trigger filters, everything remains in line. If you are creating an entry for another process or escalation to find at a later time and perform operation, you are dropping tracks for something to be done out of line. I hope this helps clarify things.

I never fail to read your emails to the list :-) This is what I remember from that training class years ago held at Bracknell, UK.. The example used was the notify action. This was during the time when the notification process used to be handled by the notification server which was independent of the AR system process. We were given the example of the notification action using escalations to be a bad idea, as if the notification server choked for whatever reasons, the escalation process would also choke. So having escalations to set a flag using set fields and have filters carry that notification action after checking for the flag would avoid this.. And then we were told that the same is the case for all 2nd and 3rd phase actions. I actually vaguely remember a topic called something like 'Data driven escalations' during which the instructor had discussed this. I had basically used that as the 'word from the Bible' all these years without really questioning it... So this was wrongly conveyed to us?

When escalations run, any filters they trigger run IN LINE. They do in 7.5, they do in 7.1 and 7.0. They did in 6.3, 6.0, 5.1, 5.0, 4.5, 4.0, 3.xx, 3.0, 2.x and all the way back to whatever release escalations were added in. There has been no change in behaviour or action since the beginning. Joe -- someone simply gave you incorrect information in your training class. Many ideas were shared during the discussion. All had valid points and some good reasoning for doing things in various ways and ideas around alternatives. If there is a concept of deleting, I always like to have a way to trigger things through a set fields (generally using a command field that I can send a specific value) and have filters that do the work. Now, if you want to do cleanup like was described in the initial request, you can have an escalation trigger the operation. My vote push fields to the command word. Why? Well, if I wanted to have logic on the delete that did checking or auditing or notifiation or whatever, that workflow would have been defined with filters when I defined the ability to have a command field with a specific value trigger a delete. Now, if I wanted to delete a specific entry, I could just send the command word. If I wanted escalations do the work, I could have the escalation send the command word. Now, all logic is localized and focussed and defined one time for this operation. No risk of inconsistency depending on how I deleted or anything else. If there is other logic that runs on modify, you can always skip it using the go to statement. On the other hand, if the only reason every and only mechanism ever to delete the entry was the escalation, I could do it direct and put any processing logic on the escalation. This is viable, but it is defining into your system that the only way to delete is through
