Re: Permission's mismatch between User and people form
The form is called CTM:People Permission Groups (memorised). You are correct Danny, CTM:People looks only at this form. I have seen issues with the Data Management Tool in 7.6 that imported these records and did not cause the appropriate workflow to update the User form. I didn't investigate but simply corrected the User records with a Meta-Update script. In the Remedy server, permissions can only be given by the User form (or an AREA plug-in). Adding the CTM:People Permission Groups record - through the GUI or with a display-only field set correctly - causes an update of the User form. Workflow (in this case ITSM workflow), plug-ins etc can do what they like. Hence the CTM:People Permission Groups form. The likely cause The reverse is not true. That is: adding (or changing) the User form does not create / delete / modify the CTM:People Permission Groups records (and cannot: there would be some missing info). Hence, making a change to the User, and then making a change to the People record, can cause an overwrite to the User record. I would suggest also that in these cases you manually add some CTM:People Permission Groups records (either directly or through the Data Management Tool.

Re: BMC Analytics Report Question
As I see, you have to options: 1.- Figure out an SQL sentence that provides this information, (You can use the audit). This sentence will be a high CPU and Mem consuming, since the only solution I see is to create a subquerys at the audit to see which log recors are about priory and when this records mean a higher value or lower value than the current value. Another option would be to get the first log value, since it will contain the initial priority. Then you can create a derived table at the universe designer anduse it. Every time you get a report with some dimension of this table it will take long. 2.- Create a new field at HPD:Help Desk that reports the initial priority value, populated at submit. So you can compare this value with the current one to see if goes up or down.

Re: BMC Analytics Report Question
Or do it all in a Meta-Update script J It would process the Text/Diary field, extract the data required from the text and either accumulate it or update another simpler table to report on. About an hour development time. SQL would work but I’d expect development time to be a lot longer – and dependent on the db. To do the task, you need a history of the changes. In effect you’d try to “normalise” a subset of the audit log. The audit does contain that history - just in an inconvenient form. As an aside. I note that you have a different “downward” set than “upward”. I would try to generalise this (of-course) but if you only needed the set of numbers you gave, you could add the integer fields to the Help Desk and do it in workflow. Of course to set older tickets you would still need to process the audit log. Cheers Ben Ben Chernys Senior Software Architect Software Tool House Inc.

Re: Unable to save preferences of tables in 7.6.04 SP2
I think we seen this issue but in an earlier version of ARS and it was related to the user not having a record in the AR System User Preference form. Make sure the users have a record in the AR System User Preference form. The table preferences are stored in the Edit tab. Also make sure the user has permissions to write to the form. I am thinking there may have been a permissions issue as well on the form. Not sure if that’s your issue or not but worth taking a look.

Re: BMC Analytics Report Question
Those are all good suggestions. The winner seems to be Jose's long SQL query idea, since it fits what data and systems Andrew has. All he has to do now is to come up with the query language! Moving forward, it would be easy enough to create some workflow that fires on submit or modify if the Priority changes, that writes the Priority value and the associated record ID to a new table. You can also have a column in that table tell you what kind of change happened to the Priority - did it go up or down, was it from Medium to High, ect, moving the heavy lifting SQL to the front end, with the added advantage of knowing if the Priority was changed more than once in a particular ticket. Then your Analytics query would run a lot faster. I would do it this way because I haven't figured out how to run decent subqueries yet.

Assuming that this may be the issue, your OS updates will be available with the OS vendor. For e.g. Microsoft updates are done using the web update feature built within the OS, called Windows Update.

Re: deleting a particular field values of record before or after saving.
That’s not the use of Application-Delete-Entry. This run process is used to delete an entry (row) from a table, and not used to set a column to NULL what seems to be what you are attempting.. To set a column value to NULL use the Set Fields action or a Push Fields action depending on which one is more appropriate for your situation, and set that field to the $NULL$ keyword.

CMDBSync AST View Workflow
ARS 764 sp2 ITSM 764 Stack Installer Created a custom class. Added a few attributes. All looks good. I then ran Sync Asset with UI utility from with ITSM. The process took about 12 minutes to complete. When finished I had an AST form for my new class but it did not have any work flow. I removed the AST form and tried again but still no work flow. None of the buttons or navigation links work. The log file has some messages about duplicate IDs (which don't make any sense) but nothing else other than that. Thoughts?

Re: deleting a particular field values of record before or after saving.
Use a set fields action and set those fields to $NULL$. Set field actions are performed before the data is committed to the database.

Server Group without load sharing
Hello all, I am working on a new configuration for ARS 7.6.4, with ITSM and Atrium CMDB. The server group documentation is mostly oriented around setting up load-shared systems, but also notes you can set up a user server (that users connect to directly) and process server(s). As we are on the smaller side, I don't think the full three load-shared servers recommended is necessary, but I do think it would be helpful to segregate the users from the processes that tend to run long and heavy. Has anyone had experience with how effective splitting the user and process demands is in preventing slowdowns and/or with which were the most effective to segregate (Email Engine, Escalations, Atrium Integrator/Reconciliation, etc)? Any issues that you've run across that effected standard functioning or other considerations you think I should take into account?

Re: CMDBSync AST View Workflow
I personally never use it as it never does quite what you expect. It has the habit of adding hidden fields and tabs to views that you don't need which clutters the view in dev studio and will need extra time to render to the user. I would: - export the AST form from the parent class to an XML - edit the ~ 6 lines of the XML that, for example, define the join to reflect the new class - import the new form and add it to the asset application - share the workflow of the parent with it - update the share applications record with the new form name Cheers Peter -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Frank Caruso Sent: 20 March 2012 15:25 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: CMDBSync AST View Workflow ARS 764 sp2 ITSM 764 Stack Installer Created a custom class.

Performance Testing with HP PerformanceCenter
Listers, Anyone had any luck SUCCESSFULLY doing performance testing on Remedy using HP PerformanceCenter on ARS/ITSM 7.6.04? Yes, I'm aware it's not supported and that BMC's stated recommendations are Microfocus SilkPerformer or Scapa TPP but I'm curious if anyone else has had any luck with HP. We were able to successfully run some scripts in Change Management, but have been fighting trying to get Incident scripts to run. BMC Support is standing behind the not supported stance, which is fine, but just curious if this is another item that is not supported, but that others have gotten to work. Trying to avoid buying another expensive enterprise performance testing tool as we already have one. Thanks. Nate.

You could define one escalation that fires and creates a record in a temporary work form. That temporary form would be the trigger to fire the filters.

Re: Convert multiple escalations to filters for use in a filter guide
Export the Escalations to a definition file and save it as xml (not .def). Edit the contents to disable the Escalations and then use those to create filter objects with new names. This should work.. You would need to look at what an xml definition of a filter would look like in order to do this and then replicate that.. So while this is doable, it may not be entirely supported by BMC Support, in case you do something wrong. So I would choose this option carefully.

Re: Convert multiple escalations to filters for use in a filter guide
There’s about 500 records through to 2500 records (depending on the OU) so it’s a fairly sizeable operation, but this is for our test system, so long times aren’t an issue (and once everything is in place, the production system will only need to be run once) Modifying the XML of the definition file sounds like a good way, so If anyone’s done this before, examples would be great!

Re: Convert multiple escalations to filters for use in a filter guide
The answer is reverse engineering the xml definitions in order to understand their structure... I have attempted things like that before.. What I do in order to do something like this is export a similar object, and see what its xml definition content would look like. In your case you would need to export filters having an If statement and Escalations.. You would need to see what element in the xml is used to enable or disable an Escalation and the structure of a filter with one If action.. Use that as a basis for your ‘reverse engineering’.. I’ve used this method successfully in instances where there were bugs with the new Dev Studio where it would not allow saving objects that had valid qualifications in the Menu definitions or in the Join form definitions.. There used to be a bug with adding a new active link to existing active link guides too, where the process on the Dev Studio would time out at the time of opening the dialog to add a new active link itself.. Editing these qualifications in the xml def files or the AL Guides in a xml def file and importing them would work around those bugs and allow the save – thus not impairing my ability to proceed with my development effort..
