Re: What does AR_SESS_LOCK_TO_SOCKET_NUMBER do?

2011-09-17 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

I do not know...

The normal way to set the communication socket is via ARSetServerPort, or
the env variable ARTCPPORT.

It is there in 6.3, and may stem from a time where you went to different
TCP-sockets depending on your RPC-number. Correct me if I am wrong, but I
think that everything now always goes through a single TCP-port.

 Hi all,

 Does anyone know what the session configuration variable
 AR_SESS_LOCK_TO_SOCKET_NUMBER does?

 Its name would imply something to do with using a specific socket
 descriptor
 for..something, but its not clear what.  The docs don't say much either.

 Setting it to various values (valid and non-valid socket descriptors)
 results in errors, so, empirically, it seems unrelated to that.

 For what its worth, I'm using the 7.0 C libraries.

Re: Business Time in ITSM 7.6.4

2011-09-17 Thread Rod Harris
Hi Claire,

The last example is the most correct. The lengthy and difficult to use
GUID is generated by the system if no ID is provided on a segment
create so you are not forced to use them and you could use friendlier
names, as long as they are unique. I prefer to use business time
entities as it is an easier way to link a bunch of time segments
together. When business entities are used it is common to do a lookup
of this table to find the ID from a friendlier name. Pretty sure this
is how the SLM code does it.

A couple of other tricky things with business time is that even when
using entities you still need to provide 2 time segments and these
have to be real although they can be set to not block out any time.
The business time commands run on the server so if using them from
active links you need to use the @@ syntax.

 The ID would be:           AGBC305B2A1C59UHVyTgtsjnUgOY8v
 The Description would be : Business Hours

 All of the samples have no spaces in the Business Time Segment name.

 Use the following syntax for the Application-Bus-Time2-Diff calculation:
 Application-Bus-Time2-Diff startTime endTime
 [businessTimeSegmentName1 businessTimeSegmentName2 . . . ]]



 So would it be:

 Application-Bus-Time2-Diff startTime endTime  Business Hours Holiday 
 Time

 Or should it be:

 Application-Bus-Time2-Diff startTime endTime  BusinessHours 
 HolidayTime

 Or

 Application-Bus-Time2-Diff startTime endTime  
 AGBC305B2A1C59UHVyTgtsjnUgOY8v  AGBC305B2A1C59UHVyTgtsjnUgOY8v

Hi Roger,
Can you clarify a little?  From an individual user perspective is it true that 
the user does not need any kind of license; they only need to be in the 
CTM:People form?  Beyond that you need to have purchased sufficient capacity 
for you potential SRM user base. There is not an actual license to apply on the 
server, it is more if a contractual agreement.
Do I have this correct?

Jason,

 

Yes, you are right. There is no actual license to apply on the server. The
SRM licenses are just paper license that show up only on the PO.

web service nightmare

2011-09-17 Thread John Baker
Hello,

Would it help you understand the problem if I said that, the last time I 
checked, the AR System webservice consumption code does not implement a 
'standardised' approach to consuming webservices? Let me expand. There are 
three ways a Java developer would normally consume a WS:

1. Generating Java source from the WSDL using Axis or CXF, and integrating the 
'stubs' with their code.
2. Using a compiled Java interface and feeding it into JAX-WS (the Java WS 
API), which is terribly clever and knows how to build SOAP messages from the 
(annotated) interface.
3. Dynamically building the SOAP message, which involves building an XML 
document using the JAX-WS API and making a SOAP call.

I prefer approach (2), because the consumer of a WS only needs to care about 
interfaces and can manipulate Java objects that are dynamically creates by 
JAX-WS. Approach (1) is a little old school, and approach (3) is for those who 
don't want to do (1) but have no interfaces (2).

The last time I checked, AR System didn't do any of the above. There's a jar 
file, websvcXX.jar, and if you look inside it with your favourite Java 
decompiler, you will see that it creates SOAP messages using an ancient version 
of Axis and some string hacking. The problem with this approach is that it's 
never going to work for all WSDLs, because it isn't following a strategy that a 
good developer would follow now-a-days. I suspect this is because it was 
written many years ago.

Webservices are tricky and there's no simple answer, but unless one follows a 
popular and accepted method, you can expect odd errors. And if the webservice 
code isn't wrapped in a scalable solution, you can expect scalability problems.

Therefore, if you can make the WSDL very simple, AR System will handle it. If 
it's complicated, you need a different approach. Sadly. most WSDLs are 
complicated.

The answer to this problem is to not use webservices and use XML over HTTP. 
Which is all a webservice really is, minus the hassle.

Re: Advanced Search Query

2011-09-17 Thread Shafqat Ayaz
If you have only one segment for example business times for a single company 
you can ignore anything except the start time and the end time as they would 
default. if you want to put all the parameters in then it is the name of the 
segment. So if you have called it Business Hours, then that is what you put in. 
If you have called it BusinessHours, then that would go there. It is the name 
of the segment not the id.
