Re: To be or not to be a BMC partner
Hi Jose, I am not surprised. I think that BMC has been trying to drop any resellers not doing their quota for many years. I have a group of friends that has been doing full time Remedy-consulting for 10+ years, and BMC still has not seemed interested in having them as a full blown (VAR) reseller. There are other types of partnerships than reseller. For example Tech alliance if you have 3rd party products that add on to the BMC product line. In that case you more or less pay the fee to get on board. Why do you want to be a partner anyway? If it is access to product support and upgrades you are after, it might be cheaper and easier. When I started working with Remedy some 17+ years ago, the reseller where I was working got 70% of the revenue from product sales, and 30% from support and consulting. It is definitely not like that any more... Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se (ARSList MVP 2011) Products from RRR Scandinavia (Best R.O.I.

Re: Filter Table Refresh differ if Admin User...
Hi, It turned out that if I changed the permission on the table and underlying join form, the table got refreshed. This definitely seems like a BUG, as filters should ALWAYS run with administrator privileges...

Hi LJ, Thank you for the input. In this specific case, the table is never refreshed. And I am not doing a table loop, just a Set-Fields with a COLSUM().

Misi, I can't speak directly to your situation, but I have seen in the past that server table loops don't necessarily refresh the table every time you do something with them...I have done loops before where the table has a dynamic qualification, and you set the field that makes it dynamic, then utilize the table...then within the same transaction, you change that qual, and try again and it doesn't necessarily refresh the table even though the qual, and thus the contents should change. Without a 'refresh table' option in filters, I've never quite been sure how to get it done. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Misi Mladoniczky Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 8:34 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Filter Table Refresh differ if Admin User... Hi, I have a 7.6.04 SP2 system, where I am having inconsistent behaviour in filters depending on if you are an Admin user or not. This is an outline of the stuff involved 1. API Call Create Entry 2. Filter makes Service Call 3.

That opens up the form: SRM:QuestionDef_Template If you manually enter a question and run logging, you should be able to see if there are any Push Fields actions to any other supporting form. I don't really think there is but I could be wrong. If there isn't, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to import questions to this. I am just not sure where the static menu options are stored.

I type them in to the question definition on the 'Question Management' form, and hit 'Update Library' to create a standard Salary Grade question and menu.

BMC proxy fight - Elliot Mgmt
Regarding the links that Joel noted (see below), does anyone else have some insight into the accusations made by Elliot Mgmt? Personally, I'm glad that BMC did not completely lose themselves in SaaS, what I see as another 'bubble' technology that will be bursting in the next few years as companies realize how little value they get from most SaaS vendors, and how much they have to spend to do even the most basic customization.

Re: Filter Table Refresh differ if Admin User...
Fred, That is an interesting feature I didn't know existed Misi, A few choice notes from the workflow guide, page 303 Workflow Functions In addition to the Set Fields, Push Fields, and Call Guide actions, setting Get Data As to User affects the workflow functions COLCOUNT, COLAVG, COLMIN, and COLMAX. These functions operate over the columns in a table field. When performed in a guide that was called by a filter with the Get Data As User set, the entries and fields used to populate columns in the table field are limited to those visible to the calling user. And almost more importantly Filters with Get Data As set to User are identified in the filter log file by the string “with data retrieval as user userName.” So...being all we have access to is your RRR|Log parsed portionsdid this text display in the filter log? Is the filter in question set with this restriction? If your answer to either of those questions is No...then we have a bug somewhere...I don't recognize 'MOB'...is that a custom application? -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Grooms, Frederick W Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 6:54 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Filter Table Refresh differ if Admin User...

Re: To be or not to be a BMC partner
I really fail to see why they should charge a prospective reseller those large chunks of change to be a reseller. The way I see it is that, every reseller no matter what the sale conversion ratio is, be it 1 in every 10 years or 1 every quarter - its still a sale. And its not a sale of something that just costs a few thousand dollars.. Its usually touching the million dollars.. Does it cost BMC any money to add a reseller to its list? Not really. It only costs them when they support you through the sales process. So if they could have just 2 categories, supported and unsupported resellers, they could probably hit that one odd sale that they might never make, by adding resellers who wish to not be supported through the sales process.. IMHO those fees for resellers should be charged only to those onboard seeking BMC Professional Sales services through the process of converting a warm prospect into a sale.. But if a reseller decides he has what it takes to take it to the end by himself, I do not see the point in why he has to still pay those $'s. Its probably discouraging a good percentage of knowledgeable SME's who would have liked to play a role of a reseller, from doing so. So I wonder what the BMC justification is for those fees for a company or individual who would wish to be a reseller but would not require their professional services while going through a sales process..

Re: BMC proxy fight - Elliot Mgmt
Oh, I don't know about that. It would seem that BMC is a more attractive acquisition target if it remains undervalued. If Elliott is successful in what it *says* it wants to do, who wants to buy a company selling for full price/value when it could have been had for less?

Re: BMC proxy fight - Elliot Mgmt
I've seen these types of situations play out before, and basically what generally happens is one of two things: 1) the management of the corporation makes some changes to take the wind out of the sails of the activist investor(s), or 2) the management of the corporation is replaced by people chosen by the activist investors. It's clear that Elliot Management has no interest in what BMC does, and is completely focused on the stock price going up so they can sell and make a profit as quickly as possible. Based on what I've seen in the news, it doesn't look like BMC's senior management is budging even an inch, and it's likely that folks from Elliot have been focused on getting the institutional stock holders on board with a sale. Personally, I think a sale could be a good thing (or it could be terrible, but I prefer to be optimistic.) Dell, for example, has nothing like BMC's toolset, so it wouldn't be a matter of trying to kill off Remedy or anything else if they bought it. IBM I would be a little less positive about since they supposedly have a competitor to Remedy with some modules of Tivoli, and Oracle is too complex to say one way or another at this point. In any case, I think Remedy itself is a strong enough product someone would have to be extremely foolish (like Peregrine's management) to try to get rid of it.

Re: WWRUG presentation
We are accepting submissions until the end of the month, go to www.wwrug12.com On the right is Latest News and under that is Call for Papers. If your paper is accepted one presenter per presentation gets in free. Given your company is planning to be a BMC partner etc. you might want to consider raising your profile with some sort of sponsorship at the conference, or a booth or kiosk. I should also remind people that the conference fee goes up as of July 1st. Costs are higher in California so the current fee is a bargain, after July 1st it is just really good value for money.

Microsoft Network Loadbalancing with Midtier and AR-Server Group
Hi listers, we plan to implement ITSM 7.6.04 with 3 Midtier servers and an AR-Server Group of 2 AR Servers. As we do not have a hardware loadbalancer available we try to figure out if software loadbalancing is a possibility. Do you have experience with Microsoft NLB in an ITSM environment? Does it work without any problems? Or do you alternatively prefer a specific product of Vmware virtual loadbalancing appliance? I would be happy about any comments.

Re: BMC proxy fight - Elliot Mgmt
Most of the stock is held by non-BMC folks. According to http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=BMC+Major+Holders it says that 91% of the shares are held by institutional and mutual fund owners. For example, the top mutual fund holder according to that is DODGE COX STOCK FUND which has 5.10% of the outstanding shares (8,215,140.) Compare that with Bob Beauchamp, who has 658,211 shares. 6.5% is a huge amount, and the different investor groups that make up that 91% are more likely to sympathize with Elliot Management than with BMC's internal management.

Execution option 'Search' in an Active Link
All, We 7.6.4 and was checking documentation for 'Search' option in an AL and found: Executes when a user performs a search operation. The active link executes before the search operation so that, if the active link criteria is not met, the If actions are not performed. (If Else actions exist, they are performed.) To prevent a specific search from occurring (such as an unqualified search), you can have the active link return a message (such as an error); otherwise, the search is performed. You can also use active links to set fields to modify the search. NOTE The active link can access and assign values in the Search window, including the Search Bar if the reserved Search Bar field is present on the form. Question: Which field (or Keyword) stores the search string being sent to the database? I needed to validate it in an AL on the 'Search' operation.

Is there a bug in the Mid-Tier 7.5 patch 6?
Hello Fellow Listers, I did open a ticket with BMC Support but I find that I can get my questions answer on the ARSList much faster so here goes. I have a question for you Is there a bug in the Mid-Tier 7.5 patch 6? We have a drop down menu on a Display Only form. If the user clicks on the field it will not let them type any value into that field. So far this is what should ALWAYS happen. However, if they select the drop down menu and then cancel it and the cursor is still in that drop down menu field the user can now start typing a value into that field. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. It does not do that with the User Tool only the mid-tier and only for version 7.5. Our Mid-Tier 7.1 version does not act in this manner. It works like it should the user can never type into the field only select from the drop down. Is there a bug in the MidTier Version/Patch- 7.5 Patch 6 that is allowing this to happen when it should not?

Re: Microsoft Network Loadbalancing with Midtier and AR-Server Group
Based on this it looks possible: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742455.aspx You will need to make sure that you set the client affinity correctly for the midtier and arservers. It looks like you will be missing out on some commonly used features of a load balancer since the MS Network Load Balancer looks to all be layer 3: - OSI layer 7 capabilities (cookie manipulation, ssl offloading, etc.) - health check capabilities are very limited (cluster node heartbeat) - SNAT capabilities, where needed If you want those capabilities, there are other options available: http://haproxy.1wt.eu/ http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/software/ktcpvs/ktcpvs.html http://www.apsis.ch/pound/ Axton Grams On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 10:09 AM, Tobias Ziegler tobias.zieg...@vipcon.comwrote: ** Hi listers, ** ** we plan to implement ITSM 7.6.04 with 3 Midtier servers and an AR-Server Group of 2 AR Servers.

Re: Is there a bug in the Mid-Tier 7.5 patch 6?
7.5 was a very shaky release, and full of bugs so I wouldn’t be surprised you are having issues like that.. For the very short time I was exposed to that version, it was a living nightmare for me as a developer. Things that you would have taken for granted and built your code within minutes wouldn’t work the way it should and it took me at times a few hours if not a entire day to figure a workaround for something you would develop in 20 minutes on a regular day with a more stable option.. I would not stay on it for very long if you are on an upgrade path from a lower version. I would get off it as soon as I could. In fact if you are on an upgrade path and have the ability to revise your roadmap, I would slate a upgrade to 7.6.x almost as soon as you had 7.5.x up and running.. That being said, avoid staying on 7.6.03 and the release version of 7.6.04 for too.. 7.6.04 release 2 onwards is fairly stable.. Joe PS: I did recently discover a display type bug on edit masked fields of 7.6.03 where the information in that field would be displayed as clear text under certain conditions.. I just thought I may share that...

Hi, I missed this feature too... I usually read the release notes quite thoroughly, but I did not see this. Which version was it introduced? RRR|Log does not strip out anything from the logged lines, but in this case I checked the setting for Data Access - Get Data As, and it is set to System, not User.

Fred, That is an interesting feature I didn't know existed Misi, A few choice notes from the workflow guide, page 303 Workflow Functions In addition to the Set Fields, Push Fields, and Call Guide actions, setting Get Data As to User affects the workflow functions COLCOUNT, COLAVG, COLMIN, and COLMAX. These functions operate over the columns in a table field. When performed in a guide that was called by a filter with the Get Data As User set, the entries and fields used to populate columns in the table field are limited to those visible to the calling user. And almost more importantly Filters with Get Data As set to User are identified in the filter log file by the string “with data retrieval as user userName.” So...being all we have access to is your RRR|Log parsed portionsdid this text display in the filter log? Is the filter in question set with this restriction?

Misi, I can't speak directly to your situation, but I have seen in the past that server table loops don't necessarily refresh the table every time you do something with them...I have done loops before where the table has a dynamic qualification, and you set the field that makes it dynamic, then utilize the table...then within the same transaction, you change that qual, and try again and it doesn't necessarily refresh the table even though the qual, and thus the contents should change.

Both.

Remedy DB refresh and Business Objects
Hi all, I'm working through a developing a process for refreshing our dev/qa environments with production data. We dumped the data from production into dev and I've done a lot of cleanup and re-pointing so Remedy/ITSM is working correctly. That part seems to be fine. The issue I'm having is that our BO reporting server seems to now be pointing to production. I logged into CMC as administrator yesterday and there was nothing in the environment. No reports, users, groups (other than defaults), as well as our license string. I restarted BO and Tomcat today because I again couldn't log in and now when I log in, I see production reports that successfully ran this morning. First of all, I wasn't expecting our BO environment to be affected by the data refresh. In any case, we had this implemented by a contractor and I'm not fully clear how BO connects to the database and where those settings are kept. Any thoughts as to where I might look?

Re: Remedy DB refresh and Business Objects
The BO related metadata is stored in the DB under the BOAdmin schema, Remedy data is under ARAdmin. I'm not sure of the steps to get you back pointing to your dev environment. We did something similar and wound up having to pull a contractor back in (the one who set everything up) to clean it back up. I believe you have to repoint all the universe connections and report connections in CMC but I know there were a number of steps he had to go through. Nate.

Re: Remedy DB refresh and Business Objects
You will need to repoint the BOXI universe (the ITSM universe) to your dev DB. That connectivity info is resident on the BOXI server and so even though you have successfully managed to port ARS between the two systems, the BOXI connection to the ARS DB has not been updated. You can re-point this via the BO designer. Open the universe in designer and if my memory serves me right, go to Tools -- Connection and you should be able to re-point to the correct ARS DB from there. Hope this helps! ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are
Re: Remedy DB refresh and Business Objects
I am not an expert with the BO but recently had to self learn while trying to deploy BMC Analytics solution. I am assuming you are using BO with BMC Analytics. When BO is installed it has two options a) Installer installs a small MySQL dirby database within the BO installation to store BO related meta data. b) Use a different data base that is managed separately like if you have defined your own database to use with BO. Incase if you have used option 1, the production refresh should not impact BO at all because all the meta data is stored locally on the BO server. If you used option 2, the production refresh to dev should not impact BO if you only copied ARAdmin schema. But if your DBA moved the BO schema also from prod to dev then it makes sense that your dev BO is now pointing to prod remedy. What you can do is, launch your dev BO Designer tool and reimport the ITSM universe and just change the connection parameters and specify the dev oracle connection parameters.. That way all your dev BO reports will now get the data from your dev remedy database.

Re: Remedy DB refresh and Business Objects
Thanks for all the suggestions. Object Owner: As for the object owner, from what little I know about databases, it seems that it is in the form of [owner].[object]. In our case the owner on all the objects is 'dbo' which from some quick google surfing is the default when a DB is created. I'm not sure this is going to help. BO Designer: When opening designer on our BO system, it asks for user credentials on a specific system. I have 3 systems in the pulldown: devsystemname, qasystemname, and prodsystemname. I choose our Dev system and log in. Once in, in the title bar of the application, it says: Universe Designer - [Administrator - @prodsystemname:6400]. When I log into the prod environment, it displays the same thing (prodsystemname). When choosing 'Import', there are no available universes. When I try to open a saved copy of the dev universe to re-export, it says I'm not authorized since that universe belongs to a different CMS. I know where the connections are in the universe, that is if I could import it. I believe it's correct in saying I share a DB between AR and BO. I'll likely have to back out but are there any more thoughts on moving forward so I only get the proper elements? Ideally I'd change a pointer somewhere and be back in business. From my experience with this product suite, I'm sure it won't be that simple.

Re: 7.6.04 Exporting reports for import into another server
Ray, When you export a report to file, ARX or ARXML all the attachments get dumped into a single directory, any duplate names should be resolved automagicly but reality happens...sometimes in unexpected ways. Another option you may not have considered is to use the migrator tool to migrate the data only to a file, then you can turn around and migrate that data into another server, that way you have a single complete export. Give it a try, never know, it might work! :p ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are

WWRUG12 Submission Update - Four More Great Submissions! Only Eight more days to get your submissions in...
Here is a mid week update since we only have 8 more business days to get topics submitted before the July 1st deadline. These topics caught my eye as ones from some Heavy Hitters that folks have been asking for: The following submission has been made by Jubayer Ahmed from Dell. Topic Details Topic: BMC Remedy Upgrade - Experience and Lessons Learned Abstract: Keeping pace with new releases of Remedy can be a difficult task for large enterprises such as Dell, given the multitude of integrations, custom code, impacted users, etc. The objective of this paper is to share learning from the past two ITSM upgrades at Dell including the upgrade to 7.6.04 SP2, and provide advice that can jumpstart activities at other companies who are also contemplating an upgrade. Synopsis: Background/Challenge Environments Experience from 7.5 upgrade Requirements for 7.6.04 Upgrade Upgrade Process and Challenges Project Execution Phases Lessons Learned Technical Skill Level: Intermediate Classification: Case Study Categorization: AR System - Core Specification: Technical The following submission has been made by Colleen Eilbert from Effective Technologies. Topic Details Topic: Small Customizations for BMC Service Request Management to create Big Impact Abstract: In today's world, the BMC applications are sold as full solutions - ready to deploy as-is. Every project starts with a mandate that THERE WILL BE NO CUSTOMIZATIONS. Is this realistic? Is it always worth the pain of holding that line? This presentation will address those questions as they pertain to a BMC Service Request Management deployment. You will learn some general guidelines to follow around customizations of the SRM product and you will receive instruction on some specific customizations that will provide you a large return of customer satisfaction on the investment of implementation and maintenance. Synopsis: Effective Technologies has participated on some level in numerous BMC Service Request Management deployments. Their experience goes from the early days of 2.2 to the bleeding edge of the current release. This presentation is a technical talk. We will provide you with guidance for evaluating customizations to the BMC Service Request Management Solution. This presentation will address the following issues: . When are customizations warranted? . Is the customization worth the cost of maintaining it? . What will I have to do to maintain this customization going forward? . Where are the pain points that your customers are likely to call out if you don't do any customizations? . How can I use overlays to ease the pain of upgrade? In addition to the general rules, we will discuss details about some very particular customizations that we keep in a toolkit to use at customer sites as required. Code will be provided on our web site for at least some of these customizations. They will include: . Auto-populating fulfillment items with request details, without building complex mapping rules. . Making fulfillment details more visible to the Requester (such as pending approvers or service target information on a fulfillment change request.) . Sharing Work Info entries between fulfillment items (including tasks.) . Allowing update to fields such as Expected Date for communication back to the Requester. . And More. This talk is targeted for BMC Remedy Administrators who will be responsible for implementing and supporting customizations, as well as project owners and business analysts who will own the process of getting customer sign on the finished Service Request Catalog. Technical Skill Level: Intermediate Classification: Other Categorization: ITSM Specification: Technical The following submission has been made by Marcelo Silva from Unisys Corporation. Topic Details Topic: The Power of Information Abstract: Good timely reporting and accurate information is key to supporting your business. Every company collect tons of data daily and the biggest challenge faced today is really how they make that data become valuable information to drive the business. We will be talking about how we were able to accomplish that thru the BMC Analytics product. We will discuss what were the challenges that we faced and what actions we took to transform collected data from ITSM (and other sources) into actionable business information. Synopsis: Here are some of the topics we will talk about: .

Integrating ITSM data with data from other sources to provide End to End reporting through BMC Analytics . Overcoming challenges of a complex environment that has multiple clients, regions and time zones . How to configure BMC Analytics to support your business and maintain the ability to perform low risk, low cost, upgrades All this and the fun of playing
Re: Query for measuring Attachment length
IF i put the Attachment size in the ar.cfg file as 2MB, it applies to all the customers i have which i really dont want. This 2MB size attachment is specifically for a single customer, which i need to validate before the respective WEBSERVICE gets called. I heard like we can write a DIRECT SQL to measure the length of an attachment.But I am not able to write it. If any one knows pls let me know. Hi Misi, Thanks for ur quick response. But,Sorry to say that i really didn't understand what u were trying to say.Can you somewhat elaborate it? With Regards, B.Vikram.
