Re: Permission's mismatch between User and people form

2012-03-20 Thread Ben Chernys
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.

Hi,

 

Open the people permissions form. (Sorry cant remember the actual name, not
in front of ITSM) and add the persons details there. Those tables in the
People form do not look at the User form for the group / permission info.

Re: BMC Analytics Report Question

2012-03-20 Thread Jose Huerta
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

2012-03-20 Thread Ben Chernys
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.

Re: Unable to save preferences of tables in 7.6.04 SP2

2012-03-20 Thread Arner, Todd
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.

Hello All,

We recently just went live with 7.6.04 SP2 and it seems like there’s an issue 
with being able to save table preferences on the homepage. For example, if I 
select ‘Assigned to all my groups” with respective company and ‘save’ under 
preferences, it does not save the settings for next login. Every time users 
login or come to homepage, they are having to select fields and ‘refresh’ 
table. I have tested this in multiple browsers. Nothing on support knowledge 
base either.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts or suggestion to resolve the 
issue will be appreciated. Screenshot attached.

Re: invalid relational operator exception from QualifierInfo

I was originally using the 7.5 version of the API.  I just tried with 7.6.4

Unfortunately, I don't know how to turn it into an internal representation.

Sothat begs the question then...what version of the API are you using?
Have you tried the latest 7.6.4 SP3?  Can you try to use turn it into an
internal representation...and then back out to see if it goes there and
back
and comes out the same way it went in?

Hi,

Thanks to LJ and Jose for the replies!  As suggested I looked at the logs.
The output seems to support the idea that there is a bug in
parseQualification:

When called on a field that works as expected ('Summary' in the example
below) the result is:
 SELECT T852.C1,C536870989 FROM T852 WHERE (T852.C8 = 'atl01a')
ORDER
BY C536870944 DESC, 1 ASC

When called on a field that causes an exception ('Associated Asset' in the
example below) the result is:
 SELECT T852.C1,C536870989 FROM T852 WHERE (T852.C536870989
ORDER BY
C536870944 DESC, 1 ASC

When called using LIKE instead of = on the 'Associated Asset' the result
is:
 SELECT T852.C1,C536870989 FROM T852 WHERE (dbms_lob.instr
(T852.C536870989, 'atl01a')  0) ORDER BY C536870944 DESC, 1 ASC
Unfortunately, while this runs without an error, it does return any
results.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that parseQualification is
not generating a working sql statement in the example that causes an
exception.  Note that there is no comparison operator or RHS value between
T852.C536870989 and ORDER BY.
Further, the sql statement that is generated when LIKE is used doesn't
result in the correct results.

thanks again,
Tony

Turning it into the QualifierInfo object turns it into the internal
representation.  What I was looking for was for you to then utilize the
below method to turn your QualifierInfo object BACK into a string and
compare it with the string put into the original function...see if they
compare :)

Re: BMC Analytics Report Question

2012-03-20 Thread Drew Shuller
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.

CI Viewer consistency

2012-03-20 Thread Ramey, Anne
We have a user complaining because the CI viewer isn't 100% consistent.  
Occasionally it won't display the image-just a blank screen.  From what I 
remember, this has always been the case (even back when we had CMDB 2.1).  If 
you were to try and draw something 15 or 20 times, 1 time it might not 
work...but it does if you do it again.  In the user's opinion, that is 
unacceptable.  Does anyone have a CI Viewer that is 100% consistent?  Any tips 
for trying to make it more reliable?

Jianqi,

I cant claim to be an expert on issues related to timezones and DST 
conventions, but I may have a theory for your issue. Some time ago I recall, 
there was an universal adjustment to the switch.. If I recall right, the day on 
which the time changes were changed. To reflect this in the digital world, OS 
updates were required. I'm guessing, one of your two clients (the one that 
shows it incorrectly) does not have that update..

Hi:

A user believes there is a bug related to daylight time saving in software. I 
can reproduce it.
Steps:

1). If I have locale-TimeZone sets to blank, and creates an incident, its 
Create Date is 2012-03-19 01:55:06 PM.

2). However, when I change the TimeZone to GMT-5:00 (EST) America/New_York, 
Create Date of the same incident becomes 2012-03-19 12:55:06 PM. There is one 
hour defference.

My time zone is GMT-5:00 (EST) US  Canada. These two time zones are GMT-5:00. 
Do you know why these two GMT-5:00 setting shows one hour defference for the 
same incident.

This happens to incidents created between new day light saving time (second 
week of March) and old day light saving time (first week of April).

Thanks

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. Similarly other operating systems 
would have their own methods for updating security and bug fixes.

Re: deleting a particular field values of record before or after saving.

2012-03-20 Thread Joe Martin D'Souza
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.

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

other than that.

Thoughts?

Use a set fields action and set those fields to $NULL$. Set field actions are 
performed before the data is committed to the database.

To: arslist@arslist.org



Hello,

 

We have an LDAP Vendor form that integrates with Active Directory.  While
trying to add some error trapping, it seems that the errors from LDAP don't
trigger the ARS error handling of filters.  I have a simple filter that adds
a user to the member attribute of an AD Group.  It works fine and has for
years.  Today, I added an error handler to that filter so that I could
gracefully deal with situations where the member add failed.  To test this,
I am intentionally trying to add a user to a DN for which my LDAP account
doesn't have access.  I do get this message in the arerror.log (and on
screen) so ARS does recognize it as an error:

The LDAP operation has failed : Insufficient access (LDAPERR 50)2098:
SecErr: DSID-03150A48, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0  (ARERR
3377)

The filter log shows the set field processing on the member field, but there
is no indication of an error other than the last line:

   FLTR /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:14:18.0717 */ Checking
TRG:ADG:UserDN_AddToGroup (999)

(phase 1) -- Operation - SET on TRG:Active Directory:Group - snip DN

   FLTR /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:14:18.1717 */Canceled filter processing due

I added an error message action to test the error handler, and it triggered
as expected:

So, does anyone have any ideas on how I can get ARS to see the LDAP error

You do not have Supress-Warning turned on in the ar.conf file do you? If you

Server Group without load sharing

2012-03-20 Thread Logan, Kelly
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?

 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.

Hi ,

No users are having different first and last name. No dual account.Users
are having work order master permissions  work order assignee role.
Floating license.

Does it has something to do with license or entitlement . Users are able to
save the ticket , problem occurs only when they try to re assign the ticket
to someone from the same team.

In built functionality

Hi All,

Just would like to know the in built functionality of the remedy product.
When we create change from a work order or from an incident, will the
Requested for info gets copied to the change ticket  or not ? If yes, is
this the way how the product works by default or do we need to do the
customization to make it work?
 I havent tried this before so any information would be useful. :)

Re: ARERR 3377 (LDAP Errors) and Filter Error Handlers

2012-03-20 Thread Joe Martin D'Souza

If you suppress errors, to the best of my knowledge, the ARS suppresses it only 
from being displayed on the user console. Suppressed errors and warnings still 
happen on the background and are logged by the arerror.log file.

  Subject: ARERR 3377 (LDAP Errors) and Filter Error Handlers
  To: arslist@arslist.org



  Hello,



  We have an LDAP Vendor form that integrates with Active Directory.  While 
trying to add some error trapping, it seems that the errors from LDAP don't 
trigger the ARS error handling of filters.  I have a simple filter that adds a 
user to the member attribute of an AD Group.  It works fine and has for 
years.  Today, I added an error handler to that filter so that I could 
gracefully deal with situations where the member add failed.  To test this, I 
am intentionally trying to add a user to a DN for which my LDAP account doesn't 
have access.  I do get this message in the arerror.log (and on screen) so ARS 
does recognize it as an error:

The LDAP operation has failed : Insufficient access (LDAPERR 50)2098: 
SecErr: DSID-03150A48, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0  (ARERR 
3377)

  The filter log shows the set field processing on the member field, but there 
is no indication of an error other than the last line:

   FLTR /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:14:18.0717 */ Checking 
TRG:ADG:UserDN_AddToGroup (999)

   FLTR-- Passed -- perform actions

   FLTR 0: Set Fields

   FLTR   members (536870921) = CN= userinfo1^|^CN= 
userinfo2^|^CN= userinfo3

   FLTR /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:14:18.0795 */ End of filter processing 
(phase 1) -- Operation - SET on TRG:Active Directory:Group - snip DN

   FLTR /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:14:18.1717 */Canceled filter processing due 
to error

  I added an error message action to test the error handler, and it triggered 
as expected:

   FLTR /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:45:13.6116 */ Checking 
TRG:ADG:UserDN_AddToGroup (999)

   FLTR-- Passed -- perform actions

   FLTR /* Fri Mar 16 2012 19:45:13.7246 */Canceled filter processing due

  So, does anyone have any ideas on how I can get ARS to see the LDAP error 
as an error?

Re: CMDBSync AST View Workflow

2012-03-20 Thread Peter Romain
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

 Hi Dave,
 
  
 
   Business needs in a mobile environment can differ from those that can be 
 solved purely through a web client/server based solution.  For example, 
 mobile users may not have consistent (or cost-effective) connectivity or 
 sufficient bandwidth to utilize a traditional web-based client/server model. 
  These kind of users benefit strongly from a “native” application that may 
 use concepts like store-and-forward.
 
  
 
   We’ve encountered, for example, mobile customers who work in remote 
 locations with no cellular access – but still need to update Remedy tickets 
 in the field.  Once they return to a location where their network 
 connectivity is returned, that information is transferred back to the Remedy 
 application.   In a purely web based application, you wouldn’t even be able 
 to bring up the web app if you had no connectivity to the web server…
 
  
 
   Both models work in their own respective environments.  While I can’t 
 discuss futures in a public forum, be assured that we’re thinking about the 
 best ways to address the needs of all kinds of mobile environments – local 
 Wi-Fi/high bandwidth environments vs. remote low/now service environments, 
 out-of-the-box simplicity vs. customized applications, etc.

Performance Testing with HP PerformanceCenter

2012-03-20 Thread Nathan Aker
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.

Re: Convert multiple escalations to filters for use in a filter guide

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.

The bigger question is how much data, (number of records) is pulled from AD?  
There might be a possibility of tying your system up for some time.

Re: Convert multiple escalations to filters for use in a filter guide

2012-03-20 Thread Joe Martin D'Souza
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.

The bigger question is how much data, (number of records) is pulled from AD?  
There might be a possibility of tying your system up for some time.

  Hi All

   

  Does anyone know of an easy way of converting escalations into filters? I 
have about 10 escalations that copy information from LDAP into remedy (10 
because they are different OU’s in active directory) and for testing purposes, 
I was going to create a filter guide to push information from LDAP to 
CTM:People (and my active directory form which sits in between)

   

  Thanks

The configuration file RKM_config.xml should give you answers to what you want..

What is SRL? Another abbreviation that might have escaped my attention??

Re: Convert multiple escalations to filters for use in a filter guide

2012-03-20 Thread Benz, Michael
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!

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

2012-03-20 Thread Joe Martin D'Souza
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..
