Re: Restriction ofAttachment size

Hi Saranya,

 You can specify the Size of attachment while defining attachment Property
in Developer tool, Refer to Forms and Application object guide for More
Information.
*You set properties for the attachment pool and for its attachment fields
in
BMC Remedy Developer Studio, including maximum size for each attachment
field and permissions.*

AW: Disable Red X

2010-07-22 Thread Ranftl, Tobias
Hello Joe,

thanks for your ideas on this.

 I had even tried creating a AL with an error message that should pop up on 
 window close if a flag is not set which is set only when you use the custom 
 Close button that is created on the form, but that doesn't work on the 
 Mid-Tier either
Behaves the same way on MT 7.5, I tried that already before posting.

What I implemented as a workaround is the following:
- I'm setting a flag on valid closure of the dialog (the user is using one of 
the normal buttons).
- I have an AL firing on close checking if the flag was set. If it wasn't, I'm 
sending an event to the parent form.
- On the parent form, I'm catching the event and open the dialog again.

Similar to the approach you mentioned below.

Cheers,
Tobias

On my experience the only accurate way is measure each environment. BMC 
whitepapers do not reflect all hardware configurations and thus will be 
useless. If your production management are not monitoring for capacity 
management then ask them to do so and that way you can plot concurrent users vs 
incidents vs response time etc

Mid Tier User Preference record

2010-07-22 Thread Reiser, John J
Hello Listers,
ARS 7.1 Patch 4
Mid Tier Version 7.1.00 Build 200708221849
Tomcat 5.5.17
MS SQL 2005 (remote)

I know that when you use a Preference server during WUT login you generate a 
User Preference record.
I do not see the same condition when the user is strictly a Mid Tier client.
In the Mid Tier configuration page General Settings I have the short server 
name in Preference server.
In the WUT Admin Console Server settings I have Use this server selected for 
the Preference server.

Do I need to send the users on Mid Tier to the User Preference form if they 
will never see the WUT?
Is it a good practice to make a default Preference record for everyone when 
their User form record is created?

Thanks,

yup just did the same.  Thanks for the info.  for some reason it added the

I was having issues starting ARS and looked through everything and changed
those two and it is coming up now.

If you are using the active link action perform-action-add-attachment, it is
not compatible in the mid-tier. Refer to the work-flow guide where the
compatibility of all such actions is listed on a matrix and this action is
good only for the user tool.

 

Might (hopefully) work with a future release of the mid-tier as the user

Subject: Attachment works in WUT but not in Web Client

Thanks to much assistance from people on this board I am close to replacing
an old app with a single Advance Interface Form. I have minimum workflow
going - warning messages, displaying/hiding/lockdown fields when needed.
Ok.. so it isn't much but I'm not a developer.

When I test adding an attachment via the WUT the attachment is added without
problem. However, when I use the web client and test an attachment the
attachment fails. I can add an attachment post-creation when on the
ServiceRequestConsole form and choosing the 'Add' button in the Activity Log
area. This two-step process wouldn not be very clean for the users when
submitting requests.

If the Button/ACTL I use to add the attachment is working on the WUT do I
need to set a parameter for this to work with the web client? Or am I better
off looking at the logs of the Activity Log area 'Add' button and tracking
down what I need to do that way? Or... Undoubtedly I am missing something in
the list of options.

Here is my setup:
ARS 7.1.00, Patch 002
SRM; 2.2, Patch 004

Thanks much,

MS Security Patch and Windows 2008 x64 LDAP Issue

2010-07-22 Thread Ken LaPierre
Hi Listers and old friends,

   Recently the server operations team installed MS security patches on our 
remedy application servers and LDAP no longer authenticates properly. We opened 
ticket with BMC and Microsoft and are still troubleshooting the issue. I found 
this link with a potential hotfix:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980596

Platform is Windows 2008 Standard x64, ARS 7.5 p5 with 3 tiered architecture 
all VMs, Mid Tier server (IIS 6.0/Tomcat 5.5.28), App server, SQL server(Win 
2008, SQL 2005).

  So far rolling back the app server prior to patch date gets us working again 
so we are equating the issue to the patching but at this point unsure.

  Anyone seen this before and has a suggestion please let me know.

Thanks,

Re: ARS Install windows 2008 Server, SQL 2008 DB install

2010-07-22 Thread strauss
We have built several complete ARS 7.5. systems on 2008 R2 x64, with all of the 
supporting servers for mid-tier and RKM also starting out as 2008 R2, and over 
the last 9-10 months we have seen enough odd behaviors with permissions to log 
files and processes that don't seem to run unless the correct user account is 
currently logged in (MAPI Email for one) that we have decided to go live for 
production with all app servers on 2003 x64 or 2003 R2 x64 instead.  The BMC 
installers don't always run properly on 2008 R2 (and I mean the full ITSM 
Suite, so include things like Analytics, Dashboards, and Remedy Knowledge 
Management), and the installed apps continue to have permissions problems after 
installation such that I don't think that BMC has figured out the nuances of 
working in a Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 world yet - where account permissions 
are MUCH tighter.  The client tools have the same problem, installing into 
paths under one logged in user account that they do not have write permissions 
to when run under a different logged in user.  Hopefully they will get that all 
figured out for 7.6.3, but after months of testing I do not trust ARS 7.5 / 
ITSM Suite 7.6 components to run reliably in a 2008 R2 environment.  We only 
got the clients (User, Studio, Import, Migrator) to work reliably on Windows 7 
and 2008 R2 by pointing ALL of their paths to a common C:\Home directory that 
ALL user accounts had full permission to.

The SQL Server 2008 Enterprise x64 engine behind the ARSystem db, running on 
Windows 2008 R2 x64, has been rock solid; we will go live on that.  We have 
also seen SQL Server 2008 x64 (installed on Windows 2003 R2 x64 servers) run 
fine under RKM and Analytics/BOXI (if you can get the Analytics 7.6.01 
installer to work at all - it was DOA here).  You have to have the 7.6.01 
version of Dashboards to talk to SQL Server 2008, however, so we only recently 
got that to work.

You may have better luck with 2008 R2 than we have, but for now we will only be 
using it for the database servers.  Upgrading the ARS and ITSM components is 
more than hard enough without the quirks of a new (and not really supported) OS 
complicating things.

Tobias,

I guessed that it wouldn't work on 7.5 as well as the action itself has not 
changed in any way..

Looping the part where the dialog box opens and closes if it has not been 
closed 
correctly so that it opens again if the 'X' button is pressed would be the only 
other way to arm wrestle with the users and MAKE them to use it correctly. It 
would be esthetically a bit flunky though..

If you are using the active link action perform-action-add-attachment, it is

Subject: Attachment works in WUT but not in Web Client

Thanks to much assistance from people on this board I am close to replacing an 
old app with a single Advance Interface Form. I have minimum workflow going - 
warning messages, displaying/hiding/lockdown fields when needed. Ok.. so it 
isn't much but I'm not a developer.

When I test adding an attachment via the WUT the attachment is added without 
problem. However, when I use the web client and test an attachment the 
attachment fails. I can add an attachment post-creation when on the 
ServiceRequestConsole form and choosing the 'Add' button in the Activity Log 
area. This two-step process wouldn not be very clean for the users when 
submitting requests.

If the Button/ACTL I use to add the attachment is working on the WUT do I need 
to set a parameter for this to work with the web client? Or am I better off 
looking at the logs of the Activity Log area 'Add' button and tracking down 
what 
I need to do that way? Or... Undoubtedly I am missing something in the list of 
options.

Here is my setup:
ARS 7.1.00, Patch 002
SRM; 2.2, Patch 004

Thanks much,
Christine

Agreed, you can’t automatically add a file, it will prompt you for the file to 
add….but to say that the function ‘it is not compatible in the mid-tier’ is to 
say in my mind that you can’t add attachments with that function on mid

My thoughts are to load a snapshot of data gathered from actual help

subordinate RFCs would be created at each location to handle the exact

Re: Change Management question

2010-07-22 Thread Rick Cook
We intend to log the actual work in Release, but we want local RFCs to track
the scheduling of the change, which would have different acceptable
maintenance windows at each location.  So the parent change would give, say,
a 30 day window for implementation, and each child RFC logs where within
that window the individual location will do their change.  Does that seem
like a sound structure, Roger, or should everything underneath the parent
RFC be based in Release?

2010-07-22 Thread strauss
We have been in production with Kinetic Request since May 2008, and have been 
very happy with it.  We replaced all of our old ARSPerl script web interfaces 
with it, and turned over the maintenance of customer interfaces to our central 
helpdesk, which develops/tests/deploys new service items whenever they are 
necessary (and without any workload for the Remedy team except configuration - 
maybe a new global categorization now and then). They even build their own 
Incident Templates and then incorporate them into the tasks executed by the 
service items. Kinetic Request can be used to meet the unique requirements of 
new customer groups/areas, including special notifications, without us having 
to customize the ITSM app on the back end.  It will be even more ideal for a 
custom shop, since it does not rely on an ITSM environment to run.

What version of the ARS? :-)

This might be important to know as sometimes on a version of ARS that is not 
compatible with a higher DB version, you need to run the sp_dbcmptlevel 
stored proceedure to bring down the compatibility level of the database in 
order 
for ARS to work..

Re: 911: CMDB production set locked.

2010-07-22 Thread Ben Chernys
Check the Asset Management Advanced Options with the Application
Configuration (advanced).  

This message cannot come from any process failures.  It is delivered through
Active Links is Sandbox is enabled.  You should have Sandbox Enabled Off. 

 

Else you have adjusted the ALs or the global fields that the A:s rely on.

 

The message itself is rather meaningless as the recon job to merge the two
CIs is fired immediately (not withstanding bugs in that recon process -
search the arslist archives for details of those).

Hi Listers and old friends,

  Recently the server operations team installed MS security patches on our 
remedy application servers and LDAP no longer authenticates properly. We opened 
ticket with BMC and Microsoft and are still troubleshooting the issue. I found 
this link with a potential hotfix:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980596

Platform is Windows 2008 Standard x64, ARS 7.5 p5 with 3 tiered architecture 
all 
VMs, Mid Tier server (IIS 6.0/Tomcat 5.5.28), App server, SQL server(Win 2008, 
SQL 2005).

  So far rolling back the app server prior to patch date gets us working again 
so we are equating the issue to the patching but at this point unsure.

  Anyone seen this before and has a suggestion please let me know.

Thanks,

If you are an admin, you should be able to go into the Service request
details Process view and see what error was caused on those specific
service request. From experience, it could be a drop down menu selection
mapping issue that is invalid in your service request. Are you using a

In any case, I would start by looking at what error was triggered on the

Re: Attachment works in WUT but not in Web Client

2010-07-22 Thread Christine
Thank you Joe and LJ,

I made a copy of the ACTL SRS:SRC:AddAttachment which is called from
the 'Add Attachment' button on the SRS:ServiceRequestConsole form.
This original ACTL of SRS:SRC:AddAttachment works on both WUT and Web
client on a Service Request which is based on a 'mapped' SRD option. I
updated the copied ACTL to address the form I created and the new
button.

Looking further through the logs it looks like I did not do enough
follow up. I need to research some current ACTL Guides, copy/update as
needed. There is a ACTL SRS:SRC:DVFEventTrapAndProcess that I think is
the next one to examine.

I think I will test this just by adding the form I created to the ACTL
and guides. If that works then I 'll make the copies, point those to
my form and remove the new form from the original ACTL and guides.
That way, if there is an upgrade in the future any replacement OOB
ACTL and guides won't overwrite the connection to my form.

Thanks to both of you for the informative conversation. I keep reading
the manuals but obviously haven't caught everything the first, second
or third time around.

 Thanks to much assistance from people on this board I am close to replacing an
 old app with a single Advance Interface Form. I have minimum workflow going -
 warning messages, displaying/hiding/lockdown fields when needed. Ok.. so it
 isn't much but I'm not a developer.

 When I test adding an attachment via the WUT the attachment is added without
 problem. However, when I use the web client and test an attachment the
 attachment fails. I can add an attachment post-creation when on the
 ServiceRequestConsole form and choosing the 'Add' button in the Activity Log
 area. This two-step process wouldn not be very clean for the users when
 submitting requests.

 If the Button/ACTL I use to add the attachment is working on the WUT do I need
 to set a parameter for this to work with the web client? Or am I better off
 looking at the logs of the Activity Log area 'Add' button and tracking down 
 what
 I need to do that way? Or... Undoubtedly I am missing something in the list of
 options.

Kintetic Request vs BMC Remedy SRM vs newScale

2010-07-22 Thread Rabi Tripathi
If anybody has opinions about the first two, please respond. 

How do they compare in terms of features and ease of 
implementation/maintenance? Price?

About newScale...it's advertised as a Service Catalog, not so much as a Service 
Request management solution, but I believe the client interface to request 
services is a part of it. I have heard positive opinions about it. Can anybody 
shed any light on how its different from the other two? I know newScale has 
been integrated with Remedy ITSM, but it appears newScale is also marketed as a 
complete, standalone solution for managing requests. Is it fair to say that it 
still isn't an Incident/Problem management solution as it's not geared towards 
troubles?

Thanks in advance.

Re: SRM issue

2010-07-22 Thread Christine
Prasanth,

I've had this happen in the past and it took me a bit to find the fix
for our environment. Below is how I have our environment working. I
should say I have this working without official training or much
Remedy experience. There may be a better way to do this.

The SRD has Nav Cats 1, 2 and 3.
The same Cats have to exist and be enabled on the Operational Company
Relationship form
On the Assignment Configuration form there needs to be a record where
the Op Cat fields match the Cat fields on the SRD and the Operational
Company Relationship record.

Actually, I have two records for the Op Cats in the Assignment form.
One is for categorization on the SR. This record has the Event defined
as Service Request Assignee with a Sort Order of 0.

The second Assignment record is to create the INC and the Event is
defined as -General- with a Sort Order of 1.

On both Assignment records I have only the Company defined in the
Contact (Order 1) and Location (Order 2) sections. In the Product Cat
(Order 4) Section I have all those fields empty. (I credit our IBM
support at the time for helping me with the Sort Order and how it
affected assignment)

I hope this helps. We experienced this on INC and CHG (Don't use WO)
and the above fixed the issue for us.

 - Christine

Request for info - Remedy ss Axios

2010-07-22 Thread Sanford, Claire
After what seems like months of demos and product reviews, we have
narrowed it down from 4 vendors to just 2.

Keep Remedy (please), or move to Axios.

Has anyone here looked at Axios and decided to keep Remedy?  If you
have, I need your input! What was it that made you choose to stay with
Remedy?

Thank you very much!

 Again, rather than focusing on a particular technology, everyone needs to 
 understand that what is important is the capability, not the method.  For 
 example, as per the 7.5.00 Release notes:
 
  
 
 “In Release 7.5.00, the arimportcmd command-line interface is replaced with a 
 Java data import command-line utility. See “Using the BMC Remedy Data Import 
 utility” in the Integration Guide.”
 
  
 
 Thus, it is expected that the ability to import data into AR System will 
 continue into future releases – most likely through the Java Data Import 
 utility.
 
  
 
 If you have a concern that a particular capability will be lost, I’d be happy 
 to listen to what capabilities are of concern.  Please be sure to ask about 
 the capability, though – not the specific technology.

 What I am reading in Dave's reply is that there will be an industry standard

 be bundled with the desktop client since a desktop client will no longer

You're right on the money there.. I guess I was thinking that DO fields are set 
on the client after a get list kind of an operation, but you are right. If 
these 
fields are set using a set field using a filter on a GET operation, they would 
need to be evaluated on the server and then sent to the client. Just some

Re: Kinetic Request

2010-07-22 Thread Charley Whitt
Ramesh,

I think Kinetic Request works really well and is a great solution to a bunch of 
business problems, as the others have responded.

The one thing that you probably haven't seen is their new Task Engine.  It's 
still in beta but allows you to create reusable 'handlers' to move your data 
from a Kinetic Request into Remedy or any other system.  So it makes it easy to 
expand Remedy/Kinetic's reach into the enterprise.

I would suggest contacting them and requesting a demo of the Task Engine.

Re: MS Security Patch and Windows 2008 x64 LDAP Issue

2010-07-22 Thread Jason Miller
Is it just AREA LDAP that is having an issue?  We have a very similar
environment (ARS 7.5 and Win 2008 x64) and have not had any issue since we
patched last night.  Our users Cross Reference Blank Password through the
server (not AREA because we do not have the RPC port set) and we update AD
via ARDBC LDAP.

Does this happen with the User Tool?  Sometime the MT password gets out of
sync with ARS and it could look like a user authentication error (although I
would expect to see your username in the plug-in log if MT had an issue
authenticating).  If it doesn't happen with the WUT I would check the MT
admin password.

   Hi Listers and old friends,
  
 Recently the server operations team installed MS security patches on
 our remedy application servers and LDAP no longer authenticates properly. We
 opened ticket with BMC and Microsoft and are still troubleshooting the
 issue. I found this link with a potential hotfix:
  
   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980596
  
   Platform is Windows 2008 Standard x64, ARS 7.5 p5 with 3 tiered
 architecture all VMs, Mid Tier server (IIS 6.0/Tomcat 5.5.28), App server,
 SQL server(Win 2008, SQL 2005).
  
So far rolling back the app server prior to patch date gets us working
 again so we are equating the issue to the patching but at this point unsure.
  
Anyone seen this before and has a suggestion please let me know.
  
   Thanks,

Yes, there is a Modify All already present in the existing web client.

What about Modify All? Is there an equivalent solution for this functionality 
on the Mid Tier?

Again, rather than focusing on a particular technology, everyone needs to 
understand that what is important is the capability, not the method.  For 
example, as per the 7.5.00 Release notes:

“In Release 7.5.00, the arimportcmd command-line interface is replaced with a 
Java data import command-line utility. See “Using the BMC Remedy Data Import 
utility” in the Integration Guide.”

Thus, it is expected that the ability to import data into AR System will 
continue into future releases – most likely through the Java Data Import 
utility.

If you have a concern that a particular capability will be lost, I’d be happy 
to listen to what capabilities are of concern.  Please be sure to ask about the 
capability, though – not the specific technology.

I do not believe that was David's intent at all.

What I am reading in Dave's reply is that there will be an industry standard 
method, other than MidTier reports, that we will be able to use to extract data 
directly from Access, Excel, Crystal, etc. as needed.  It will just not be 
bundled with the desktop client since a desktop client will no longer exist.

Is Remedy removing the RADD capability?  In favor of only OOB apps?

That would be a crying shame☹

Claire,
I’m curious what part of this direction makes you think they are only thinking 
about OOTB apps?

WWRUG10 - Call For Papers is now closed

Hi Gang,

 

We received some GREAT papers from vendors, customers, consultants, and of
course BMC.  Lots of the things that I hear and deal with every day and see
here on the list.  Like how to save time developing, troubleshooting, and
documenting applications both OOB and Custom.  Tools to help with SRM, ITSM,
ADDM, CMDB and data both loading and transferring, AR System in the Cloud,
the new Full Text Search with 7.6.  Normalization, creating a training
environment, the new Overlay feature in AR System, Improving Security
Management, tuning the mid-tier for high performance, troubleshooting
performance issues, optimization, server groups, plug-ins and ad-hoc web
reporting for AR System 7.6.03 as well as  what's new with our beloved AR
System (now 7.6.03 can you believe it! - I remember 1.2.4) and ITSM 7.6.03.
Also some great topics on the richer UI capabilities in AR System,
accelerated development with Dev Studio, Knowledge Management,
Localizations, Mobilization, Content Management, Collaboration, and
Archiving.

 

All in all, lots of terrific things to see and hear this time, and just when
I was wondering how we were going to top last year!  Not to worry, this is
just the session material and we aren't even talking about the Tutorial
Sessions or the new Executive Track (for your manager who wouldn't
understand anyway, but wants to go to WWRUG!)

 

Looking forward to seeing you all again this year, hope you get registered
soon to take advantage of the discounts!  (save a little for fun in 'Vegas)

 

Thanks to all of you who took the time and effort to submit these really
great topics!  There are lots of fingers on the many pulses of the AR System
across the World.  I am excited to see them all come together for our annual
event this year as we hear from Bob Beauchamp and Doug Mueller.
