Problems with missing ODBC driver after WUT 7.5 installation

2010-09-24 Thread Tony Overgaard
Hi ARSLIST,

I have installed the Windows User Tool version 7.5 on a Windows Server
2008 64 bit OS - but unfortunately the AR System ODBC Data Source driver
is missing, so it is not possible to use ODBC driver from other sources
like Excel, SQL etc.

 

Nothing is found in the Windows registry, when I compare the server with
a working installation on a separate PC (not server OS and not a 64 bit
OS).

On the other PC the ODBC driver is found and working fine towards the AR
Server using AR System ODBC Data Source driver.

 

So my problem is to find the reason why it is not installed on the
server, and if it could be due to the 64 bit OS.

 

I also tried to add the ODBC entries found in Windows registry of the
working OS to the 64 bit server OS, but this did not work.

On the 64 bit server I am NOT able to find the ODBC driver, but the
crystal reports is working fine from the User Tool.

 

I found this information online - but this did not solve the problem
either:

 

On a 64-bit Windows system the User Tool installs properly but the ODBC
driver is missing:

Follow the workaround to install the ODBC driver

The ODBC Driver that installs with the newer AR System client is still a
32 bit ODBC Driver - you have to go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and right
click on odbcad32.exe and run as administrator to be able to configure
the ODBC Driver.

The paths mentioned above are related to Windows Vista; the base Windows
folder on Windows 2003 might have a different name like winnt (i.e. in
that case, look for c:\winnt\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe)

 

 

Do you have any ideas of what could solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance for your response. 

 

Kind regards
Mr. Tee

Re: Upgrade of CMDB 2.1 to BMC Atrium Core 7.5 failing with return code 1003

2010-09-24 Thread Nathan Foy
Thanks Amar,

I checked the ar.conf file and found a couple of extra semi-colons following
the double-quotes and removed them.  Still not luck.  Since this plugin path
involved ITSM, I simply commented it out and the install worked fine.  After
the install I removed the comment and restarted the service.  Everything
seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Well,  I have admin priviledges on my box, my developer tool is local, and I 
hadn't even logged out and back in when they went away.  I'm using 7.5, it 
doesn't list a patch number.  I can upgrade of course, but I think I'm going to 
keep a separate list of what was in my working list elsewhere as well.  It 
sounds inherently unreliable.

Re: Working lists disappearing

2010-09-24 Thread Joe Martin D'Souza
Anne,

If it doesn't list the patch number, it is probably the first shipping version 
of 7.5. That version had lots of bugs, although I do think the Working List did 
work..

I have seen a lot of problems of the previous versions resolved by Patch 6. I 
am pretty sure it may have introduced new problems but I'd suggest go with the 
latest and the greatest.

Out of curiosity, what was your qualification? Maybe the way the

Yes, that would be a workaround but I plan on creating several different

Re: ITSM 7.6 Upgrade

2010-09-24 Thread strauss
The recoding only comes in when they completely revised the plumbing - like the 
CTM:People Search function, or the Progress Flow Bar on Incident.  We have 
actually upgraded all test (and soon the pre-production environment) to 7.6.03, 
since they completely revised what views are on what forms and what code calls 
them in HPD:Help Desk and its dialog form, and CHG:Infrastructure Change and 
its dialog form; yes - they changed them significantly from 7.0 to 7.6, and 
changed them yet again in 7.6.03, and I only want to have to fix them once.  
The other driver was that we needed the User Tool to actually work reliably in 
Windows 7 Enterprise x64, and none of the 7.5 ones do through patch 6 (and 
NOBODY installs 32-bit Windows 7, so that argument from BMC support is just 
plain lame).

The biggest and most radical change is Remedy Knowledge Management 7.6.03... it 
installs on the AR server, not a web server (and no, they didn't point that out 
in the Install docs), and is now just another ARS app.  That would have been 
good except that the damn thing no longer works in the User Tool properly (at 
least 7.2 could do that), and it also requires FTS on the server (which we have 
never installed since it was not licensed, until the RKM installer choked and 
died on the error).  Our helpdesk is going to have to find a way to do their 
normal work in the User Tool (the mid-tier is hopeless in their opinion for 
having multiple tickets open at once), and still have to open a mid-tier 
session to access the RKM content.  Besides the fact that licensing traps may 
actually prevent doing this on the same workstation, they may think it is too 
clumsy a way to work, so the whole 7.6.03 upgrade could get vetoed over the new 
problems in RKM.  BMC isn't making any transition to any new version of their 
products easy... to many potholes in each road.

We don't know yet (and neither does support) if the new RKM can properly index 
the RightAnswers content we have loaded on our 7.2 server; that could also be a 
show stopper.  It took the new 64-bit arserver.exe well over an hour to index 
just a part of it at 30% CPU (yes, RKM is one more process like reconciliation 
to chew up CPU cycles on the AR Server), but it was not indexed in a useful 
manner.

SV: Problems with missing ODBC driver after WUT 7.5 installation

2010-09-24 Thread Tony Overgaard
Hi Rajesh and ARSLIST,

 

Thank you for input from everyone.

 

Could it be because the BMC compatibility matrix does not support User Tool 7.5 
with Windows Server 2008 in 64 bit mode, that ODBC is not working.

 

How do I configure AR ODBC driver from control panel  Administrative Tools  
Data Sources (ODBC) - I mean how can I get a separate AR ODBC driver from BMC 
to configure here, if I do not get it from the User Tool installation, can this 
driver be downloaded from somewhere else?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Kind regards

Mr. Tee

ODBC Driver - you have to go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and right click on 
odbcad32.exe and run as administrator to be able to configure the ODBC Driver.

The paths mentioned above are related to Windows Vista; the base Windows folder 
on Windows 2003 might have a different name like winnt (i.e. in that case, 
look for c:\winnt\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe)

 

 

Do you have any ideas of what could solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance for your response. 

 

Kind regards
Mr. Tee

Here's our issue - When we try to create a record for a new person, the 
Workflow will not create the Remedy_Login_ID at the same time we do our initial 
Push.

We use the CorporateID field for all records, and is a part of the 
Qualification'Corporate ID' = $OPSYS..SearchID$.  On the Record does not 
match condition, we set the following fields and then do the push.  If we 
include the Remedy_Login_ID, the push fails with no explanation.

I remember running into this when I was upgrading to ITSM 7 (and from the field 
list you provide I'm assuming you're using ITSM7).

As I recall the userid doing the updating of people records needs to belong to 
the permission group that allows modifying the 'Remedy_Login_ID'. I just don't 
recall which one that is. I'm pretty sure it's either 'Contact Organization

Risk Calculation in ITSM Change Management 7.0

2010-09-24 Thread Ron Legters
We're making some changes to our Change Management process, and part of that is 
requiring the use of the Risk Calculator for Change Requests. The problem is, 
the team has decided that the calculations should result in 'Minor, Medium, or 
Major' risk rather than the OOTB 1,2,3,4, or 5.

So far, we've configured 10 questions, and I've set the three responses for 
each to give a result of 1, 3 or 5. I've changed the 'Risk Level' selection 
field so that 1 is now labeled Minor (0 in the db), 3 (2 in the db) is Medium 
and 5 (4 in the db) is Major. This leaves the problem of what to do when the 
calculated result would result in a level of 2 or 4. I found the 'Change Risk 
Ranges' form, and it looks like I should be able to use this form to specify 
that when the calculated result is, say, 2.25 round up to 3 rather than 2, or 
for 3.75 round up to 5 rather than 4. It doesn't seem to be working this way.

Am I going about this the wrong way? It occurred to me that it might be easier 
to just change the labels for 2 and 4 Minor and Medium (or something) and just 
let it go.

Hi Rajesh and ARSLIST,

Thank you for input from everyone.

Could it be because the BMC compatibility matrix does not support User Tool 7.5 
with Windows Server 2008 in 64 bit mode, that ODBC is not working.

How do I configure AR ODBC driver from control panel  Administrative Tools  
Data Sources (ODBC) – I mean how can I get a separate AR ODBC driver from BMC 
to configure here, if I do not get it from the User Tool installation, can this 
driver be downloaded from somewhere else?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Problems with missing ODBC driver after WUT 7.5 installation

Hi ARSLIST,

I have installed the Windows User Tool version 7.5 on a Windows Server 2008 64 
bit OS – but unfortunately the AR System ODBC Data Source driver is missing, so 
it is not possible to use ODBC driver from other sources like Excel, SQL etc.

Nothing is found in the Windows registry, when I compare the server with a 
working installation on a separate PC (not server OS and not a 64 bit OS).
On the other PC the ODBC driver is found and working fine towards the AR Server 
using AR System ODBC Data Source driver.

So my problem is to find the reason why it is not installed on the server, and 
if it could be due to the 64 bit OS.

I also tried to add the ODBC entries found in Windows registry of the working 
OS to the 64 bit server OS, but this did not work.
On the 64 bit server I am NOT able to find the ODBC driver, but the crystal 
reports is working fine from the User Tool.

I found this information online – but this did not solve the problem either:
 
On a 64-bit Windows system the User Tool installs properly but the ODBC driver 
is missing:
Follow the workaround to install the ODBC driver
The ODBC Driver that installs with the newer AR System client is still a 32 bit

This means that there was a previous attempt of Webservices Infrastructure

recommending you to remove the old webservices prior to running the 7.6.03

If it doesn't list the patch number, it is probably the first shipping version

improper behavior for query 'DateField' ($DATE$ + (30 * 86400))

2010-09-24 Thread ARS Bob
ARS Version 7.5 patch 003.  SunOS 5.10.  Oracle ver 10.2.0.3.0


I've got a form with a date field on it.  Note that that's a date
field (which at the database level stores a juilian value, like
2455463), and not a date/time field (which stores an epoch value,
like 1285214400)

Now, if I try to do a query like 'DateField'  $DATE$ or 'DateField' 
$TIMESTAMP$, that works fine.

If, however, I try to do a query like 'DateField'  ($DATE$ + (30 *
86400)), which *should* mean return all records where the date in the
field is no later than 30 days from now, I get incorrect results.  I
get all records with non-null values, whether or not the date is
before or after 30 days from now.


I tried all 4 sensible variations of the query, employing combinations
using $TIMESTAMP$ or $DATE$ and (30 * 86400) or (30) with the same
results.


If I hardcode the date, i.e. 'DateField'  (8/1/2011 + (30)), only
then are the results correct.


Looking at the SQL log, it would appear that any attempt to perform a
query using a date calculation involving a keyword is translated into
an SQL statement that uses an epoch value, regardless of the fact that
the field that the comparison is being made against is a julian date,
thus the incorrect results.


This appears to be true with queries in the user tool advanced search
bar as well as in qualifications on filters and escalations.


I need to be able to have an escalation that has a qualification along
the lines of 'DateField'  ($DATE$ + 30).

The obvious solution is to replace the date field with a date/time
field, but for a variety of reasons, I would like that to be my last
resort.


Anybody know how to make the qualification behave properly?

Re: improper behavior for query 'DateField' ($DATE$ + (30 * 86400))

2010-09-24 Thread Joe D'Souza
Shouldn't the qualification be

 'DateField'  ($DATE$ + 30)

I have seen that problem where $DATE$ value gets assigned a epoch value
instead of Julian. I haven't really bothered to find out if that's a bug or
as designed as I didn't really have a show stopper when I had that problem..

In your case you do. So why don't you use this as a workaround.. Set $DATE$
to a character field.. This would set it to the correct string without the
time part of it.. Then use this string and construct the qualification in
another character field and use the EXTERNAL keyword and this field where
the qualification is to run your escalation..

Subject: improper behavior for query 'DateField'  ($DATE$ + (30 *86400))

ARS Version 7.5 patch 003.  SunOS 5.10.  Oracle ver 10.2.0.3.0

I've got a form with a date field on it.  Note that that's a date field
(which at the database level stores a juilian value, like 2455463), and
not a date/time field (which stores an epoch value, like 1285214400)

Now, if I try to do a query like 'DateField'  $DATE$ or 'DateField' 
$TIMESTAMP$, that works fine.

If, however, I try to do a query like 'DateField'  ($DATE$ + (30 * 86400)),
which *should* mean return all records where the date in the field is no
later than 30 days from now, I get incorrect results.  I get all records
with non-null values, whether or not the date is before or after 30 days
from now.

I tried all 4 sensible variations of the query, employing combinations using
$TIMESTAMP$ or $DATE$ and (30 * 86400) or (30) with the same results.

If I hardcode the date, i.e. 'DateField'  (8/1/2011 + (30)), only then
are the results correct.

Looking at the SQL log, it would appear that any attempt to perform a query
using a date calculation involving a keyword is translated into an SQL
statement that uses an epoch value, regardless of the fact that the field
that the comparison is being made against is a julian date, thus the
incorrect results.

This appears to be true with queries in the user tool advanced search bar as
well as in qualifications on filters and escalations.

So what I did is create a People record with the login ID of 'AR_ESCALATOR' and 
gave it the three Contact permissions. There may be a better way, but this 
worked for me.

I remember running into this when I was upgrading to ITSM 7 (and from the field 
list you provide I'm assuming you're using ITSM7).

As I recall the userid doing the updating of people records needs to belong to 
the permission group that allows modifying the 'Remedy_Login_ID'. I just don't 
recall which one that is. I'm pretty sure it's either 'Contact Organization 
Admin', 'Contact People Admin', or 'Contact Support Admin'.

Hello,

We are in the process of automating the maintenance of our People records for 
Remedy.

Here's our issue - When we try to create a record for a new person, the 
Workflow will not create the Remedy_Login_ID at the same time we do our initial 
Push.

We use the CorporateID field for all records, and is a part of the 
Qualification'Corporate ID' = $OPSYS..SearchID$.  On the Record does not 
match condition, we set the following fields and then do the push.  If we 
include the Remedy_Login_ID, the push fails with no explanation.


1)Unrestricted Access
2)Default Country
3)Site ID
4)Phone Number Bussiness
5)Corporate ID
6)Corporate E-Mail
7)Internet E-Mail
8)Desk Location
9)Local Bussiness
10)  Area Business
11)  CC Business
12)  Client Sensitivity
13)  Support Staff
14)  Job Title
15)  Client Type
16)  First name
17)  Last name
18)  Organization
19)  Company
20)  Site
21)  Department
22)  Full Text License type
23)  Short description
24)  Profile Status
25)  Submitter


Similarly, during Updates of existing records, we cannot update People Records 
that do not contain the Remedy_Login_ID
 Any ideas?

Modeling, Relationships, and ProactiveNet

2010-09-24 Thread Samuel A. Morris


Greetings List!

We're trying to decide the best way for modeling applications and
relationships. My manager has been trying to get questions answered by BMC
for some time now, but isn't getting very far.

Background: We are starting from scratch here - This is a new installation
using AR 7.5 patch 4 and CMDB 7.6 patch 1,  and ADDM 8.2, all running on
Redhat RHEL 5.

Ultimately, two of the components we'd like to use SIM and ProactiveNet -
SIM for service impact management, and ProactiveNet for predictive
analytics, and probable cause analysis.

Initially, we have two questions:

Question #1. My manager was told that SIM and ProactiveNet could be used to
create application models, and relationships within the CMDB. I've not
heard that before in any of the classes I've attended. (The options I've
read/learned about are either doing application modeling and defining
relationships within ADDM using TPL -before- the discovered data is
exported to BMC.ADDM, or by using Atrium Core Console after the discovered
data has been exported to BMC.ADDM, but before promoting it into BMC.ASSET.

What is the consensus for the best way to go about this, and is it a true
statement that SIM or ProactiveNet can create these models and
relationships, or are they mere consumers?

Question #2. Are there any of you who are actually using ProactiveNet or
SIM in your production environment?

Thanks, and happy Friday to you all!
Sam

Incoming email for two ARS mailboxes often only shows up in one mailbox

2010-09-24 Thread David Durling
Another recent post of mine turned out to not be an ARS issue.  I wonder 
if this is -


We use several Incoming mailboxes on AR System to route mail to the 
proper forms and groups using filters  other workflow (not templates).


Suppose someone sends an email
To:  supp...@...
Cc:  admissi...@...

which should create a separate Remedy request for each unit.  Often, 
only one of the units will have a request created.  (An AR System Email 
Messages record is only created for one of the mailboxes - not both.)


The problem is not consistent:  In my example, sometimes support would 
get the request, sometimes admissions, sometimes both.


When I tested a while back, it seemed that if support and admissions 
used the SAME ARS mailbox, an AR System Email Messages record would 
consistently be created for each.  But if that's true, it would take a 
bit of work for me to move all incoming mail to share one ARS mailbox.


Is anyone familiar with this issue?  If you can tell me it happens on 
ARS 6.00.01, but not 7.5, even that would be make me happy.


AR System 6.00.01 patch 1351
Email Engine 6.00.01 patch 1539
Solaris/Oracle

Thanks,
David
