To my knowledge MAPI is a microsoft protocol which works in windows only.
So you need to build a separate windows box just for to use for remedy

Re: RRRChive

2011-10-04 Thread Walters, Mark
No doubt Misi will be along shortly with definitive information but in the 
meantime...

Qualifications are pretty much what you would expect, for example -

qual= '2' = Demo

would select records where the Submitter (fieldID 2) is Demo.   This one -

qual= ('Group Role' = Support Staff OR 'Group Role' = Technical 
Publications OR 'Group Role' = Engineering OR 'Group Role' = QA) AND 
'System Status' = Active

selects records where the System Status is Active and Group Role is one of the 
listed groups.

Parameters are referenced by using %s in the qual string -

qual= 'Submitter' = %s 

would substitute the %s for whatever was passed as the final parameter on the 
command line -

rrrchive copy.cfg Demo

results in a qualification of 'Submitter' = Demo

Multiple parameters are passed and substituted in order - 

qual= ('Submitter' = %s OR 'Submitter' = %s) AND 'Status' = %s
rrrchive copy.cfg Demo Bob New

becomes

qual= ('Submitter' = Demo OR 'Submitter' = Bob) AND 'Status' = 
New

I hope that helps.  Don't forget to make use of the -test command line option 
to check out what your config is going to do first.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the input.

You can also add parameters on the command line that completely overrides
anything in the config:

rrrchive --qual='2' = \Demo\ rrr.cfg
(Note that this example is complicated, as it contains both spaces,
single- and double-quotes that needs to be taken into account.)

Also note that if you want to do an wild-card match, you need to double
your %-signs:
qual = ('8' LIKE %%twinkie%%)

Another important thing is the transfertype, that will usually not be
SYNCTOTARGET if you have complex, and especially date-based,
qualifications. You would then probably use transfertype=COPY instead.

Bitmap indexes vs Regular indexes

2011-10-04 Thread Ron Tavares
Good Morning List,

I am a Remedy guy, not a DB guy,.. so I am looking for some help from the
DBAs on the List.  Recently, our DBA ran a performance analysis of our
Remedy DB and came back with 9 fields that are recommended for indexing.  3
of those fields are recommended to have bitmap indexes.  This cannot be
created in Remedy.  So we can either create these as standard indexes
instead of bitmap,  so that the Remedy system is aware of them, (this is
what BMC is recommending).  OR, we can have the DBA create them at the DB
level as the recommended bitmap indexes, but then Remedy is not aware they
exist.

BMC is saying that bitmap indexes have a downfall in that they take a lot
longer to write to.  Our DBA is saying that we will not get the searching
performance improvement we seek unless we use the bitmap indexes.

Any thoughts from the pros?

Thanks in advance,
.ron

 Hugo,

 An incompatible version of Java may do a lot of other things but cannot
 prevent the AR System from starting. The AR System Server itself does not
 depend on JRE or JDK, its sub systems such as web services, mid tier, email
 engine etc do..

 So somehow I doubt the update of Java has caused that problem. Its
 something else.

 If its UNIX, have you changed the environment or the .profile of the user
 that starts the AR System in any way? I am assuming you are on windows
 because you said you updated only the ar.cfg file upon updating Java.. On
 UNIX you would have needed to update that in the server startup script too.

 What OS are you dealing with? What’s the version of the AR System and its
 database? Have you tried starting the server in a debug mode?

 ARS doesn't start up, the error log only displays the startup message but
 armonitor indicates a timeout every 900 seconds; this came from a Java

 I've tried to point the OS and the ar.cfg file to a latest java version but
 no luck, does anyone has seen this before?

BMC support suggested removing this option after that our servers became 
useful again.
We are on ARS 7.6.03 with ITSM 7.6.03 patch001, oracle with server group.

Re: Other CMDB products

2011-10-04 Thread Jason Miller
Hi Paul,

Just to clarify, you are talking about the BMC ITSM products?  The CMDB is
included if you have any of the ITSM products installed (Service Desk,
Change Management, Asset Management).  The CMDB is considered a core piece
of all of these (and becoming even more with each release).  If you are
talking about Asset Management, that is another story and would require
licenses.

Re: Other CMDB products

2011-10-04 Thread Matt Laurenceau
Not sure I understand your comment.
BMC Atrium CMDB comes for free with Remedy ITSM apps now (it's natively
included in the same database).

From an architecture point of view, Atrium CMDB often leverages data from
other repositories:

   - Copy/Import from databases (what some vendors sometime call CMDB),
   like MS SCCM or other
   - Live federation


Take care,

Re: Bitmap indexes vs Regular indexes

2011-10-04 Thread Guillaume Rheault
Hi Ron,

My thoughts are these bitmap indexes should be created at the database level, 
so that Remedy is not aware of them, because all Remedy created indexes are 
standard (i.e. b-tree indexes).
After these indexes are created, the DBA can profile the overall performance 
again, to see if the expected benefits are there. Otherwise, the bitmap indexes 
should be dropped and the indexes created as b-tree through Remedy.

When you migrate the forms between environments, you need to remember to 
re-create these bitmap indexes at the database level.

What BMC is saying that bitmap indexes are longer to write depends on the level 
of concurrency on the update of the bitmap index: it may or may not be an issue 
in your environment

take a look at this article here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/sharma-indexes-093638.html

Good Morning List,

I am a Remedy guy, not a DB guy,.. so I am looking for some help from the DBAs 
on the List.  Recently, our DBA ran a performance analysis of our Remedy DB and 
came back with 9 fields that are recommended for indexing.  3 of those fields 
are recommended to have bitmap indexes.  This cannot be created in Remedy.  So 
we can either create these as standard indexes instead of bitmap,  so that the 
Remedy system is aware of them, (this is what BMC is recommending).  OR, we can 
have the DBA create them at the DB level as the recommended bitmap indexes, but 
then Remedy is not aware they exist.

BMC is saying that bitmap indexes have a downfall in that they take a lot 
longer to write to.  Our DBA is saying that we will not get the searching 
performance improvement we seek unless we use the bitmap indexes.

Any thoughts from the pros?

Thanks in advance,

Hugo,

An incompatible version of Java may do a lot of other things but cannot prevent 
the AR System from starting. The AR System Server itself does not depend on JRE 
or JDK, its sub systems such as web services, mid tier, email engine etc do..

So somehow I doubt the update of Java has caused that problem. Its something 
else.

If its UNIX, have you changed the environment or the .profile of the user that 
starts the AR System in any way? I am assuming you are on windows because you 
said you updated only the ar.cfg file upon updating Java.. On UNIX you would 
have needed to update that in the server startup script too.

What OS are you dealing with? What's the version of the AR System and its 
database? Have you tried starting the server in a debug mode?

I'm having one of those issues that everyone loves on your production 
environment.

ARS doesn't start up, the error log only displays the startup message but 
armonitor indicates a timeout every 900 seconds; this came from a Java update, 
I ran the patch 11 installer just to try Remedy to pick up the new java version.

I've tried to point the OS and the ar.cfg file to a latest java version but no 
luck, does anyone has seen this before?

Re: Bitmap indexes vs Regular indexes

2011-10-04 Thread Rick Cook
Well, the immediate question is best answered by whether fast submits or
fast searches are more important.  That's a form-by-form argument, and you
have to balance your users' needs and potential SLAs for performance in
there as you see best.

The longer-term question is about the viability of having your indexes
maintained at the DB level.  I think if I were having some there, I would
want to have them all there - if that made sense from a performance
standpoint, and if they could be maintained in sync with application
customizations.  That's a lot of work - is the potential gain worth it?

Guillaume's advice is sound.

Re: Bitmap indexes vs Regular indexes

Also keep in mind that certain form modifications will drop those indexes.
 If that happens you will need to recreate the indexes.  It used to be that
the alteration of the precision of a decimal field, or the modification of a
currency field would trigger this.  Not sure if this still holds true.

I could comment on the drop table issue, but I think Misi or someone will
probably be able to do so more intelligently than I, and I don't think that
is causing your problem anyway.  The thing that jumped out at me was your
Entry IDs, which were in seven or eight non-zero digits (3 million+/18
million+).  How many records do you still have in those tables?  At high row
counts, deleting a record, as was tracked in the /DELETE FROM H25 WHERE
entryId = '8337604' or DELETE FROM H31 WHERE entryId =
'00018333725' statements, is something that causes the indexes on those
forms to be re-shuffled.  That can take some time, especially if you have
very high row counts.

Hi Ron,

My thoughts are these bitmap indexes should be created at the database level, 
so that Remedy is not aware of them, because all Remedy created indexes are 
standard (i.e. b-tree indexes).
After these indexes are created, the DBA can profile the overall performance 
again, to see if the expected benefits are there. Otherwise, the bitmap indexes 
should be dropped and the indexes created as b-tree through Remedy.

When you migrate the forms between environments, you need to remember to 
re-create these bitmap indexes at the database level.

What BMC is saying that bitmap indexes are longer to write depends on the level 
of concurrency on the update of the bitmap index: it may or may not be an issue 
in your environment

take a look at this article here:

Good Morning List,

I am a Remedy guy, not a DB guy,.. so I am looking for some help from the DBAs 
on the List.  Recently, our DBA ran a performance analysis of our Remedy DB and 
came back with 9 fields that are recommended for indexing.  3 of those fields 
are recommended to have bitmap indexes.  This cannot be created in Remedy.  So 
we can either create these as standard indexes instead of bitmap,  so that the 
Remedy system is aware of them, (this is what BMC is recommending).  OR, we can 
have the DBA create them at the DB level as the recommended bitmap indexes, but 
then Remedy is not aware they exist.

BMC is saying that bitmap indexes have a downfall in that they take a lot 
longer to write to.  Our DBA is saying that we will not get the searching 
performance improvement we seek unless we use the bitmap indexes.

Any thoughts from the pros?

Thanks in advance,

Get Entry + Set Fields from another form's Set Fields operation

2011-10-04 Thread Brien Dieterle

ARS 7.5 P7

I have a form (formA) that sets a field on Get Entry.  This works 
great when looking at records or running reports on FormA, even if the 
field is display only.


Is there any reason why this filter wouldn't execute from another form 
(FormB) performing a Set Fields operation of its own and using FormA as 
its data source?  Checking Filter logs, the GET event doesn't get 
triggered for FormA when FormB is doing its Set Fields operation, so I 
don't think this is a phasing or execution order problem.  I cannot find 
in the documentation whether this is expected behavior.


A little background, I want to pull in one piece of Customer data from 
an external DB (cell phone #)  but make sure that it is fresh whenever 
it is displayed. So, I have a display only field on FormA that is set on 
Get Entry using a SQL command data source.  This works great when 
viewing FormA.  Now I want to make that visible on FormB.  I can't.  I 
could setup the same DB Set Fields call on FormB, but I would need the 
same key fields on that form to do the same SQL command.  I could also 
bring in the external DB as a view form and join that to FormA and then 
go from there, but it seems more complex than it needs to be for just 
this one piece of data.


Any ideas?

Re: Bitmap indexes vs Regular indexes

2011-10-04 Thread Axton
Unfortunately, no.  The ardb.conf takes values to append to the related DDL
statement.  The difference in the DDL to create an index, versus a bitmap
index, does not fit this mold.  For example:

CREATE INDEX emp_bitmap_idx ON index_demo (gender);
CREATE BITMAP INDEX emp_bitmap_idx ON index_demo (gender);

The values in ardb.conf are appended to the end of the DDL, which let you do
things like this:

Form: index_demo
Clause: clause
 Index {
  Id: gender
  Clause: clause
}

Which results in some pseudo DDL sql like this:

CREATE INDEX emp_bitmap_idx ON index_demo (gender) *TABLESPACE users*;

Re: Get Entry + Set Fields from another form's Set Fields operation

2011-10-04 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

There are three types of operations that gets data I guess.
1. GetEntry in variouse ways, that triggers get-entry-fitlers
2. GetListEntryWithFields and some alternatives that do NOT trigger the
get-entry-filters
3. Internal Filter Set Fields that do NOT trigger the get-entry-filters

In you case, I would suggest that you create a service-call instead, that
can leverage anything you want on FormA.

Read the Workflo Guide if you are not sure how the Service-action works.
It is really very simple to use.

Re: Get Entry + Set Fields from another form's Set Fields operation

2011-10-04 Thread Ben Chernys
It is expected behaviour.  

A set fields filter action is NOT a get fields.  

So, to do what you want, you'll need to 

- do a GetFields and add the fields you need to your formB and  to your push
fields or 

- (better) add a condition on the get fields filter such as any of the
fields you are setting are null and fire the filter on both get fields and
modify.

Subject: Get Entry + Set Fields from another form's Set Fields operation

ARS 7.5 P7

I have a form (formA) that sets a field on Get Entry.  This works great
when looking at records or running reports on FormA, even if the field is
display only.

Is there any reason why this filter wouldn't execute from another form
(FormB) performing a Set Fields operation of its own and using FormA as its
data source?  Checking Filter logs, the GET event doesn't get triggered for
FormA when FormB is doing its Set Fields operation, so I don't think this is
a phasing or execution order problem.  I cannot find in the documentation
whether this is expected behavior.

A little background, I want to pull in one piece of Customer data from an
external DB (cell phone #)  but make sure that it is fresh whenever it is
displayed. So, I have a display only field on FormA that is set on Get Entry
using a SQL command data source.  This works great when viewing FormA.  Now
I want to make that visible on FormB.  I can't.  I could setup the same DB
Set Fields call on FormB, but I would need the same key fields on that form
to do the same SQL command.  I could also bring in the external DB as a view
form and join that to FormA and then go from there, but it seems more
complex than it needs to be for just this one piece of data.

Any ideas?

Hello Garry,

I've managed to install both Remedy User and Admin 7.1.0.1 on Windows 7 64bits. 
They both run without Windows XP compatibility mode. However I had to run both 
(User and Admin) installers in Windows XP (SP3) compatibility mode.
The other option is running your tools under Win XP runninginstalled on vitual 
machine.

SOLVED: CRITICAL - ARS Does not start

2011-10-04 Thread Hyunkel v2.0

Listers;

We're back... And the solution was what I expected, the path for the Java 
version, but I wasn't aware on how Microsoft uses the ENV variables. For the 
record and as a knowledge for everyone.

1. Do not set up automatic JAVA (JDK or JRE) upgrades, be sure that they're 
turned of and even any sysadmin policies does not include them, unless the ARS 
owner is aware of.
2. Using JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME env is not usefull, since Remedy reads the java 
variables from Path if no jre or jdk env is defined on it, the JAVA_HOME and 
JRE_HOME will be the source.

Sympthoms:

1.- Java VM reading errors on arerror.log.
2.- Slow performance for User tool
3.- Web Services and Authentication errors.

What to do:

1.- Have at least one jdk identified as supported on the server.
2.- Modify Path variable to ONLY use this defined jdk

Thanks everybody for the ideas and comments appreciate having this good 
fellowship :)

Cheers

Re: Drop Table AR0float

2011-10-04 Thread Joe Martin D'Souza

I would check all the searches that happen through workflow (set field if and 
push field if conditions) and otherwise (table field qualifications on tables 
that load on window open when the home page is opened). I’ll lay a bet some of 
the searches on these are using fields that are not indexed in the where 
clause.. This may have happened with the customizations done to the product as 
I think the out of the box version of the apps have refined their searches for 
good performance on ITSM 6..

I have seen this problem with the out of the box ITSP product that had a number 
of searches that were not using indexed fields in the where clause... It worked 
great for a while until their record counts in the customer database started 
increasing..

Another problem that could be a possible problem is if the searches are on join 
forms that have millions of records in them.. Remedy join form view 
descriptions in some cases is not the optimal, from the performance standpoint. 
This is because union joins are not supported. If you can rewrite these join 
form views as union joins, it will improve searches on that. Mind you, this is 
not recommended by BMC Support. So if the join form underlying view definition 
is one of the problem, understand that trying to fix it is not a recommended 
BMC solution. You would need to do it at your own risk. The good news is that 
there is not much of a risk trying to do this. The only risk is that every time 
the join form view definition changes because of changes in the underlying 
primary and secondary table definition, your union view you create will be 
deleted, and replaced by the AR System generated view. So you would need to 
save a copy of the script/sql that generates that customized view to regenerate 
it on demand. Also it would be a good idea to save a copy of the original view, 
to replace the customized with the original at the time of patching the 
application – just in case – although technically this is not necessary..

The advantage of using a union view is that when you are talking about millions 
of records in either or both the primary and secondary form, a query to a union 
view would fetch the results probably 10 or 20 or more times faster than a 
query to the view that is generated OTB by an AR System join.

How many records do you still have in those tables?  At high row counts, 
deleting a record, as was tracked in the /DELETE FROM H25 WHERE entryId = 
'8337604' or DELETE FROM H31 WHERE entryId = '00018333725'

2011-10-04 Thread Brien Dieterle
Thank you both for the responses.  I've always skipped over the service 
action docs thinking it was web services-- I'm trying the service action 
first since I don't want to have to modify any records or do any push 
fields operations, if I can avoid it.  I can't get it to work so far, 
though.


FormA:  Display only FieldA, Set Fields Filter triggers on Get Entry and 
(now) Service.  The data is retrieved from SQL command. (this part works 
when you are looking at FormA)
FormB:  Display only FieldB.  Service Action Filter triggers on Get 
Entry.  Service Action is setup to use FormA as the source.  Input 
mapping is my join on UserID to retrieve FieldA.  Output mapping is the 
data returned, FieldA to FieldB.  I've tried Request ID: blank and 
Request Id: Request ID on the Service Action as well. No difference.


I'm sure I'm missing something because it doesn't seem to do anything at 
all.  I've tried adding a Set Fields after the Service Action that sets 
the field from Current Transaction to be FieldB=FieldB (grasping at 
straws).  I keep finding references to using Service Action in Active 
Links.  I'm using Filters only, but the documentation seems to suggest 
it doesn't matter.


Thanks for any advice.  I will keep looking for some examples too.

Re: Get Entry + Set Fields from another form's Set Fields operation

2011-10-04 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

I have mostly used services without loading the request, but to be able to
perform the normal filters of the get-entry, you would be required to pass
the Request ID of FormA. In other words, you may need a Set-Fields prior
to the Service-call to retrieve that Request ID.

This should make sure that the FormA-fields are loaded from the database
before your Service-/GetEntry-filter is run.

Finally use the output-mapping to get the results back.

Re: Separation of DB and Application server

2011-10-04 Thread Joe Martin D'Souza

Good move.. Never host the DB Server on the same box as the Application 
Server...

Apart from maintaining the same database name, database user name and password, 
all you need to do is point to the remote DB once you set it up on a remote 
machine by editing the ar.cfg file..

Obviously in order to do this you would need to restart the AR System server so 
it has to be done when the least users are connected to it, after informing 
them of a expected short outage. The outage should last no more than an hour or 
so, depending on the size of the DB that you would need to backup and restore 
to a remote instance..

If the DB is using windows authentication, make sure you replicate that 
correctly on the remote instance, else authentication to the DB will fail..
