FLTR-Service-Call-Commit-BUG (was Push by an AL when error on FL)

2011-04-11 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi Doug,

Thank you for clarifying. The tread I started about this a couple of weeks
ago did not get down to any definite conclusion.

I am running AR Server 7.6.04, Windows 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 R2, and
each service call is indeed committed in itself. Nothing is rolled back if
a later call fails. Immediately after the service-call, you can do
table-loops, set-fields and push-fields against the newly created/updated
data.

I guess I have to rewrite a kind of complex part of my application when
the BUG is finally fixed... I am doing three levels of service-calls to
create and update a number of records in two forms. Each record is updated
multiple times.

I am fine with the rollback being fixed, but I really need a way to do
multiple updates (adding values to a summary field) to the same record,
within one API-call.

I guess that I could just add an action after each service call to get the
a similar result:
Set-Fields: dummy = $PROCESS$ Application-Release-Pending

I do not like meddling with the filter phasing in this way though...

One of the few situations where I build real functionality into ACTLs is
in situations like this.

It would be great to have a check-box to be able to commit
filter-push-fields and filter-service-calls immediately. And also to have
a check-box for running a Push-Fields in phase 1.

The `! suffix and the dummy = $PROCESS$ Application-Release-Pending, is
really quite an ugly pair of triggers...

 Misi,

 This topic came up in a thread several weeks ago.

 If you make a service call from an active link, the entire operation within
 the service call is done correctly with a single transaction.

 If you make a service call from a filter, the entire service operation
is
 done
 within a transaction.  HOWEVER, that service call is committed and is
not
 wrapped into the larger transaction that the filter is a part of from
the
 API
 call that triggered the filters.

 This last HOWEVER is not the desired behaviour and a bug has been
created
 on the
 topic.  The problem is not the service itself but the fact that the service
 called from a filter is committed rather than being part of the
containing
 transaction.


 Now, there is likely one final oddity about this issue.  Customers on
Sybase and
 SQL Server probably see everything working just fine and the service
call
 is
 part of the parent transaction and rollbacks occur correctly and such
but
 customers on Oracle and DB2 find the behavior I note above.  This is
because
 Sybase and SQL Server have a concept of a nested transaction or
 transaction
 inside transaction.  That is what happens in this case so those
databases
 have
 the commit but it is a child transaction of a parent and if the parent
rolls
 back, so does the child.  But, Oracle and DB2 do not have the concept of
a
 nested transaction.

 I am calling this out not to say there is no issue -- there is an issue and
 it should not be committing after the service call.  I am calling it out in
 case some customers look at this situation and wonder what you are
talking
 about and everything seems to be working.

 I cannot gaurantee that there is the difference in behavior (the system may
 have coded to close the parent transaction too), but just to observe
that
 there
 is this fundamental difference in functionality about nested
transactions
 so
 you may see different behavior on different databases.


 This bug is targetted to be fixed in a future release (no I don't know
which
 one or whether it is targetted for a patch or in fact anything at all about
 the timeline for fix).

 Hi Doug,

 A follow up question on filters and transactions in connection with
filter-service-calls.

 My experience with this is that a filter-service-call is also performed
immediately, and that anything written to the database within the
service-call is committed immediately (before the service returns).

 In other words the filter-service-call is not rolled back if an error
occurs later in the filter processing.

 I want to make sure that this is by design, and that everyone is aware
of
 the situation.

 It is both dangerous and powerful (if you know what you are doing)...

2011-04-11 Thread John Baker
Hello,

It is irrelevant whether the DB is virtual or physical. Modern virtual
environments are as good as a physical host and in many organisations,
applications will be deployed to virtual hosts whether you like it or
not. If a global investment bank can run trading systems on virtual
hardware, ITSM can run on it too.

The important discussion to have is what resource is attached to your
virtual environment. ie if it has a couple dedicated cores (I carefully
do not use the term CPU), lots of memory and a physical disc partition
mounted to the virtual host, look elsewhere for the problem.

Virtual environments offer so much more than physical, such as
restoration of a host within a minute of a physical host failing,
snapshots of the OS on every reboot and the ability to add additional
cores/memory in 10 minutes. It's easy to see why it's hard to justify
the requirement for a physical host and while the features make them an
obvious choice, organisations can scale vertically to reduce costs (such
as Oracle Weblogic per physical core licensing).

Re: Any successful upgrade experience from ITSM 7.0.03 patch 9 to ITSM 7.6.03?

Eric,

Just been through the same upgrade, though we are running on Windows and MS SQL 
server.
It took several months to iron out all issues with the installer so that we 
could get a reasonably clean run of the ITSM installer.
On our dev environment, the ITSM upgrade was consistently taking approximately 
36 hours.
I raised this as an issue with BMC support, asking what time they were 
achieving when testing in their environment, but never got an answer to this.
When we eventually ran the upgrade in production, it took 24 hours to run.
We performed upgrade of all components in one go, taking 3 consecutive days to 
complete.

Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Regards and good luck

Subject: Any successful upgrade experience from ITSM 7.0.03 patch 9 to ITSM 
7.6.03?

**
Hi, Listers!

Has anyone successfully upgraded from ITSM 7.0.03 to ITSM 7.6.03?  Can anyone 
shed some light on it?  I also like to know if anyone encounters any issue in 
their post-upgraded ITSM 7.6.03 production environment. Is ITSM 7.6.03 stable?

We have looked at 7.6.04 upgrade but decided to go with 7.6.03 since User Tool 
7.6.04 doesn't support ITSM 7.6.04 and we are not ready to replace the user 
tool with the web browser client. Our mid-tier server is primarily for 
requesters at this point.

We currently have:

OS: Solaris 10
Database: Oracle 10gR2 (remote)
ARS: 7.1 patch 7
CMDB: 2.1 patch 5 (no CI in production so far)
ITSM - Incident, Problem, Change, and Asset (not used): 7.0.03 patch 9
SRM: 2.2 patch 4
SLM: 7.1 patch 2

The upgrade plan is:

Phase 1:

Upgrade ARS 7.1 to 7.6.03
Upgrade CMDB 2.1 to 7.6.03
Upgrade Mid-tier 7.1 to 7.6.03
Upgrade User Tool 7.1 to 7.6.03 (or 7.6.04)


Phase 2:

Upgrade ITSM 7.0.03 to 7.6.03
Upgrade SRM 2.2 to 7.6.03

Phase 3:

Upgrade SLM 7.1 to 7.6.03
Install KM 7.6.03 (new)

I am starting to become frustrated about the whole upgrade after a few ITSM 
7.6.03 upgrade attempts in my dev environment. The ARS and CMDB upgrades seem 
to be fine so far, but ITSM is a challenge. My biggest concern so far is the 
time it takes to run ITSM 7.6.03 upgrade installer. I have lost count of trying 
ITSM upgrade. The last attempt was eventually completed after more than 90 
hours. It took that long even after I had turned on Dev Cache Mode and had 
basically commented out in armonitor.conf all non-used processes including 
dispatcher, arplugin, email engine, assignment engine, approver, slm, arcmdbd, 
arrecond, normeng, and atriumplugin. I still got many warning messages that 
indicate multiple def/arx file import failures.


Thanks,
Eric

That should work.. If you want something more simple and at the cost of

So when the user clicks on the web url that can be embedded in the notification

Defer If NULL Question

2011-04-11 Thread Chris Danaceau
So I understand from the Reconciliation guide for 7.6.03 that Defer if NULL 
setting uses a non-NULL attribute value over a NULL value regardless of dataset 
precedence. Does this only apply to the discovery datasets or should this rule 
be in effect when merging a source dataset into your production dataset?   I'm 
asking because I've tried this for an attribute where production has a higher 
precedence and and is NULL, and the non NULL attribute did not get merged.

Remedy WUT and JAWS 12.0

2011-04-11 Thread Mckinnish, Randy
Listers,
I am trying to see if anyone else has encountered issues with the Remedy 
Windows user tool when using the JAWS 12.0 screen reading software.
The Remedy user tool is 7.5 patch 6 running on a Windows 7 (32 bit) client. The 
JAWS software is the latest release for Win 7 (12.0.525). The behavior we're 
seeing is like this;
The JAWS software seems to be fine in most fields on our forms that use menus 
for the values to be returned. It takes issue with selection fields where the 
drop down choices are attributes of the field and not contained on another form 
as a menu attached to the field. It throws a generic error stating that the 
Remedy tool has stopped working and you have to close the program out. The user 
tool has been uninstalled and reinstalled and the user has been granted full 
admin rights on the machine in question. I have looked at the permissions of 
the user account and nothing has been changed there.
If anyone has seen anything like this before, I would appreciate any thoughts 
or input in the matter.

Thank you

I can think of ways off the top of my head to do this.

The easiest is to make the URL a submit URL to your Approval form.   
   
http://mid_tier_server/arsys/forms/ar_server/formName/?mode=SubmitFxxx1=zFxxx2=abc123
 ...   
Add code on Window Loaded to detect a field that is filled in as part of the

Any way to remove clear option from search menus?

2011-04-11 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

Using Remedy 7.0.01.

 

Have a simple search style menu but do *not* want the clear option
included in the menu which is used for a  Required field.

 

I checked the Docs and KB and didn't find any tips on how this might be
done.

 

Any tips on how to do this?

 

Thanks

Debra

field not really deleted

2011-04-11 Thread Wagner, Christoph
Dear ARS-List,

 

my remedy makes some strange things.

 

When I create a field (date, char, int, whatever) it gets a right
database-id automatically. If I delete it, the field and the ID are
deleted in BMC-Remedy-Administrator but not in database. If I want to
create a new field with the deleted field-id, I get an error:

 

 

 

 

Is there anyone who had the same problem or know anything to do?

 

Thanks very much

 

Regards

 

Christoph

ability to delte incidents

2011-04-11 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
I am trying to allow the Help Desk supervisor at my company to have the ability 
to delete incidents. I have granted her userID the Incident Master 
permission, but the delete option is grayed out under Actions( CRTL+D 
does not work either).

From what I can see, currently, only the Administrator has access to delete 
incidents. I don't want her to have Administrator permissions.

Where can I check to see why Incident Master does not have permissions to 
delete tickets. Or where to check

I don't recall custom workflow (at least that I have made) to disallow this.

Debra,

I don't remember if it was 7.6.3 or 7.6.4, but I know it exists in 7.6.4
that in a Character field with a menu attached, that you can choose to
remove the (clear) option.but it was not an option before these versions, so
your only option for that feature is to upgrade.

Keep in mind that with these core ITSM records such as Incident and
Change, deleting the record may lead to a lot of orphaned relationship
records which do not get deleted. You may see ghost instances in your

Hi,

I am not so sure...

The basic-tab of form-properties has a couple of new settings in 7.6.04.

One is:
[ ] Allow Delete

This option is not checked by default.

I checked the 7.6.04 documentation, and this option is not described...

These are the undocumented fields extra fields in form-properties:


Form Properties - Basic
...

[ ] Disable Status History
[ ] Allow Delete

[ ] Allow Drill Down in Web Reports

Localize Form Views = All/Only for Selection Field aliases

Try to save your form after deleting the field, before you add the field

Hi,

It should suffice, but remove any columns/operators not needed in the
integration from the web-service.

For example the Advanced Search functionality could be replaced with
limited search capability.

You may also want to create a User with just enough permissions to access
