Re: Configuring companies and multi-tenancy

[Brian Pancia]

Jose,

 

I have setup systems with well over 100 companies.  One thing to look out for 
is there is a limitation on your access fields on CIs.  Depending on the number 
of companies and how many companies use a Service you may need to change a 
couple fields to get things to work.

 

If you look at your org, you are probably split into multiple branches that 
have multiple divisions under them.  You can setup a Parent Company for each 
branch and have a Child Company for each division.  IT may be one branch, 
possibly the OCIO, with multiple divisions (Net Ops, Security, Data Center, 
etc.).  Each division in IT may have multiple support groups that support one 
or more branches/divisions throughout the organization.  Support Groups can 
support multiple companies.  So let’s say you have a Company Data Center, which 
is a division under the OCIO.  The Data Center company has a Support Group 
Server Administrators under it.  Server Administrators can support multiple 
divisions/companies.  Now you have Server Sam that is a server guru for your HR 
Division/Company.  You can give Server Sam permission to the HR Division only 
and they would only see the HR tickets for the Server Administrators.  The 
problem is that since Server Sam now has rights to the HR Division he will see 
all HR Division tickets, because out of box the customer company is listed in 
field 112.  You can exclude Server Sam from the HR Division and he will see 
only HR Division tickets assigned to him because I believe Assignee has access 
to tickets.  I have to double check but I don’t believe Assignee Group has 
access to tickets, so Server Sam would not be able to see all tickets assigned 
to the Server Administrators.  I might be off on Assignee Group it has been a 
few months since I looked at that.

 

So the problem comes into play with your lock downs.  Look at field 112 and 
there is another field called something like Vendor Assignee Group.   Also look 
at your Request ID field which controls your lockdowns.  Based on your rules 
you may be able to build a simple filter to reset field 112 to provide lock 
downs beyond the Company level.

 

The problem with changing Company names is pretty easy.  The data management 
tool allows you to update Company names and actually does a pretty good job.

 

Services are a CI and there are challenges with the rowlevelsecurity fields 
character limitation.  There are a few other places you may run into this when 
setting up a large number of companies.  I believe the Consoles is one area.  
I’d have to check some of my old notes.  Essentially Services can be used by 
and support by a number of different companies.

 

Hopefully this helps.  I believe I’m slated to give a presentation at WWRUG on 
this very topic, which will go from very basic single tenancy setup to complex 
with multiple companies and row level access based on building access control 
lists.  I’ll also talk about Parent/Child groups and how to set those.  The 
fields are there in the group form to support it, but the functionality is not. 
 It’s pretty simple to build that functionality out though to be supported 
within the ITSM Suite.  The best thing you can do is start off pretty simple 
because if things aren’t setup properly and too complex some of your tickets 
may go into a black hole.  Most IT tickets don’t need to be lockdown.  No one 
cares that the HR departments printer is not working.  When you get into 
Security, PII, and Financials that’s a different story.

 

Good Luck,

 

Brian

Here's the case:

 

 

A public administration has 10 divisions (Transport, Healthcare, Security, 
Employment, ...)

 

The IT service is organized in two tiers. First there is a list of corporate 
services, that all divisions receive. Second, each division has it's own set of 
proprietary services.

 

The Service Desk is divided in divisions, so each division has it's own service

Hi Sam,

 

Unfortunately there's no switch to turn off this behavior in FF.

Mozillas new update policy is to stay on the front page of IT sites by
pushing out new major versions at crazy speeds. Our software guys rolled
out FF 14 yesterday, but the bug hasn't been addressed yet.

 

Some guys have fiddled with AR css files trying to find a solution.

Hi Tauf,

although this is true, a Global SRD cannot have a template, you can
configure the base SRD form to display by updating field 112 to the Group
ID's for the required Companies or make it Public so that all users can see.

This way you can create a normal Template based SRD and expose it outside
the Company it was setup for.  It is a workaround that is done via
configuration though, not customisation.

 

Cheers

Carl

 I don't know of a way to do what you're asking with regard to the templates, 
 short of adding all your users to a common group and making the template 
 available to that group.  However, if you have as many ITSM users at your 
 site as we do, that would be even more painful than adding all your groups to 
 the template!
  
 Seems to me like you might do better to create a customized button that uses 
 either email or a web service to submit your tickets, though I can't say 
 offhand that I've ever seen something like that done from within ITSM at our 
 site - all the instances I'm familiar with where we've done that were outside 
 of Remedy.  Maybe some of the other developers can speak a little more 
 intelligently to that point?
  
 We also use Kinetic Data's Kinetic Request product for submitting ITSM 
 tickets via web form at our site.  We offer to set up a Kinetic Service 
 Request for all of the new groups that want to come onboard and use ITSM, and 
 a large number of those forms get added to our Service Catalog.  Not all have 
 the need for a Kinetic form, but for the most part, it works great. We have a 
 handful of Remedy support groups in ITSM, and our form submits to the 
 appropriate team based on what application the user's question is regarding 
 (which they pick from a dropdown and corresponds to a Product in our Product 
 Catalog).  But you can pretty much design the forms however you want - 
 radiobuttons for common issues that always set a particular Summary, 
 dropdowns for Impact and Urgency (or, alternately always hard code them 
 behind the scenes to the same thing), other standard controls for asking a 
 bunch of detailed questions about whatever the request is that get added to 
 the Detailed Description.  You're really only limited by your imagination.
  
 Good luck!

 We have a need to create an Incident template that anyone can use to report a

Hey Sam --

I got moved to our standardized desktop, so I no longer have FF.  If you 
look in the archives, there's a post from me about how to set up a plugin 
in FF with a script to override the scrollbar issue.  (If I still had FF 
I'd just send it your way, sorry for that).  If you have someone at your 
place that's familiar with CSS, they could probably also help turn the 
black screen back to a grayed out screen using the same method.

Thanks,

Re: Configuring companies and multi-tenancy

[Terry Bootsma]

To expand on Carl's note below, I've also used this approach for Service
Request Definitions.
 
But beware, with a large number of companies, the Field 112 on the SRD has a
limitation of 255 chars.  There is also the issue of updating each SRD every
time a new company comes on board.
 
To alleviate this, consider creating a Computed Group in the Group form that
has it's definition include all the GroupIDs of the companies as an OR
qualfication.  Then, include this single Computed Group name in each SRD's
field 112 ( You can get access to this field via the Form Service Request
Definition Base). 
 
Using this approach, each time you add a new Company, all you need to do is
update the Computed Group definition in the Group Form and, voila,  the
Company has access to all SRDs.  (of course, when you update the Group
schema, the server re-caches, but you would have gotten this when you
created the Company anyway).  If you use Entitlements, you will also have to
manage this as well, but there are People Qualifications that you can use to
make this easier.
 
Hope this helps...

Hi Tauf,

although this is true, a Global SRD cannot have a template, you can
configure the base SRD form to display by updating field 112 to the Group
ID's for the required Companies or make it Public so that all users can see.

This way you can create a normal Template based SRD and expose it outside
the Company it was setup for.  It is a workaround that is done via
configuration though, not customisation.

Brian,

The one thing I've had trouble with is SRM. There is a limitation there I
believe in that a Global AOT can't have application templates associated to
it because they are company specific. So, all the fields would have to be
mapped manually. This adds major admin overhead if configuring services that
would be global and available to more than one sub-company.

Just one more thing to look out for.

Jose,

 

I have setup systems with well over 100 companies.  One thing to look out
for is there is a limitation on your access fields on CIs.  Depending on the
number of companies and how many companies use a Service you may need to
change a couple fields to get things to work.

 

If you look at your org, you are probably split into multiple branches that
have multiple divisions under them.  You can setup a Parent Company for each
branch and have a Child Company for each division.  IT may be one branch,
possibly the OCIO, with multiple divisions (Net Ops, Security, Data Center,
etc.).  Each division in IT may have multiple support groups that support
one or more branches/divisions throughout the organization.  Support Groups
can support multiple companies.  So let’s say you have a Company Data
Center, which is a division under the OCIO.  The Data Center company has a
Support Group Server Administrators under it.  Server Administrators can
support multiple divisions/companies.  Now you have Server Sam that is a
server guru for your HR Division/Company.  You can give Server Sam
permission to the HR Division only and they would only see the HR tickets
for the Server Administrators.  The problem is that since Server Sam now has
rights to the HR Division he will see all HR Division tickets, because out
of box the customer company is listed in field 112.  You can exclude Server
Sam from the HR Division and he will see only HR Division tickets assigned
to him because I believe Assignee has access to tickets.  I have to double
check but I don’t believe Assignee Group has access to tickets, so Server
Sam would not be able to see all tickets assigned to the Server
Administrators.  I might be off on Assignee Group it has been a few months
since I looked at that.

 

So the problem comes into play with your lock downs.  Look at field 112 and
there is another field called something like Vendor Assignee Group.   Also
look at your Request ID field which controls your lockdowns.  Based on your
rules you may be able to build a simple filter to reset field 112 to provide
lock downs beyond the Company level.

 

The problem with changing Company names is pretty easy.  The data management
tool allows you to update Company names and actually does a pretty good job.

 

Services are a CI and there are challenges with the rowlevelsecurity fields
character limitation.  There are a few other places you may run into this
when

 Claire:

 I don't know of a way to do what you're asking with regard to the
 templates, short of adding all your users to a common group and making the
 template available to that group.  However, if you have as many ITSM users
 at your site as we do, that would be even more painful than adding all your
 groups to the template!

 Seems to me like you might do better to create a customized button that
 uses either email or a web service to submit your tickets, though I can't
 say offhand that I've ever seen something like that done from within ITSM
 at our site - all the instances I'm familiar with where we've done that
 were outside of Remedy.  Maybe some of the other developers can speak a
 little more intelligently to that point?

 We also use Kinetic Data's Kinetic Request product for submitting ITSM
 tickets via web form at our site.  We offer to set up a Kinetic Service
 Request for all of the new groups that want to come onboard and use ITSM,
 and a large number of those forms get added to our Service Catalog.  Not
 all have the need for a Kinetic form, but for the most part, it works
 great. We have a handful of Remedy support groups in ITSM, and our form
 submits to the appropriate team based on what application the user's
 question is regarding (which they pick from a dropdown and corresponds to a
 Product in our Product Catalog).  But you can pretty much design the forms
 however you want - radiobuttons for common issues that always set a
 particular Summary, dropdowns for Impact and Urgency (or, alternately
 always hard code them behind the scenes to the same thing), other standard
 controls for asking a bunch of detailed questions about whatever the
 request is that get added to the Detailed Description.  *You're really
 only limited by your imagination.*

Re: Timeout in Remedy - ARS 7.1

[ITSM.Support]

Hi,

 

There can be multiple ways to troubleshoot it

1.   Enable AeTrace logging, to determine what work it is performing
when it stops. If it is processing an entry from the Application Pending
form, you can export that entry to an ARX file, then delete it, and
determine if it was just one record which was causing the problem

AE-Trace: ON   

AE-Trace-File: /path/AeTrace.log

AE-Log-File: /path/ae.log

AE-Log: ON

Note: These log quickly grow large which will impact AR
Server performance



2.   Check whether the Dispatcher process is running. The server process
is named apsvcdsp, and   should be run from armonitor. Enable the dispatch
logging by adding a line to ar.cfg/ar.conf:
Dispatch-Log-File: path/dispatch.log and run the Dispatcher manually.

Also, there is one Known Assignment Engine Defect

SW00318890 - Assignment Engine crashes if there are records in Application
Pending that use an Inactive Process

Workaround:  Leave all out of the box ITSM 7.x Assignment Engine Processes
as Active from Assignment Engine Administration. If you want to turn off
automatic individual assignment, then use the Application Administration
Console to configure the various applications to NOT use the Assignment
Engine Integration (i.e. set it to No).

Hi List,

Looking for suggestions on how to get to the root of Timeout issues.
Of late we have been observing regular ARS hangs.
arerror log only says Dispatch,BRIE,Assignment engine timeouts(ARERR 93).
Further the ARMonitor log has the below entry each time the issue occurs.

Wed Aug  1 04:33:37 2012   (ARNOTE 0)

Wed Aug  1 04:33:37 2012 ARMonitor child process (pid:23119) died with
65280.

./apsvcae.sh

Does above entry in ARMonitor log suggest something wrong with assignment
engine?

When we manually restart the arservice, it works well and after a month or
so the issue occurs again.

Any suggestions on how we can debug? We don't have any server side logging
enabled as issue occurs randomly- once in a month or 45 days.

Server details : Server group of 3 servers(Solaris os), ARS 7.1 Patch 9 and

Re: Configuring companies and multi-tenancy

[Brian Pancia]

One way we have gotten around some of these issues was to create a Global
Company, separate from the OOB Global Company.  We use this group for
global services.  You can also setup Parent/Child companies that will limit
the number of companies being pushed to the permission fields.  We were
running into a lot of issues once we passed I believe 20 companies.
Anything under that worked fine.  Anything over we had to start making some
changes on the backend.  The Services CI is definitely a huge creator of
the problems, which is what I'm sure you are seeing in SRM.  Getting the
Parent/Child functionality to work is not a small task.  However, it is not
overly difficult.  This way you keep your groups associated to service
fairly small and should have no issues with the OOB functionality.

consume business services. Typically, the users are external to the
organization or they cross organizational boundaries. While BMC_Role and
BMC_Organization CIs represent official designations within your business,
CIs that you populate within the BMC_UserCommunity class can be more
informal. For example, you might group internet users in this class to
represent a broad audience. *The BMC_UserCommunity class will be deprecated
in a future release. *You should instead use BMC_Organization or

I really don't like bothering everyone on the list with questions of this type, 
but I need some help. First of all I have a 7.6.04 ARsystem \ITSM SP2 system 
and have Mid-tier 7.6.0 SP3. . I am running a load balanced, server grouped  
environment on Windows 2008 R2, and Tomcat 6, 64-bit, 2 midtiers, 2 app servers.

In the past few days I have been getting a steady stream of complaints from my 
clients regarding an error when they are searching changes. They will go to 
Applications menu\Change Management\Search Change and when the change form 
opens and they search, they get Caught Exception : Object Expected . This 
only happens to a few people, not everyone, but it is consistent. I have tried 
to flush the mid-tier cache, manually delete Tomcat and Mid-tier cache, and I 
got rid of the Viewstat.dat file. One customer that has the issue can go to any 
machine and the issue follows her. I can hard code her password and log into my 
desktop and it will happen to me.

We turned on logging in Firefox and captured the following error. It seems to 
point at ClientCore.js. I have a suspicion that this is cache related, perhaps 
eCache related. Your help would be appreciated.

Re: Application List 7.6.4

[Joe Martin D'Souza]

This is something that has intrigued me for a while too but since it was not a 
deal breaker I had never really got to the bottom of it..

What is even more strange is that sometimes the order of the Application List 
in the Mid Tier does not match the order in the fat client (pre 7.6.04).

Hi All – I have started working on our upgrade from ITSM 7.0.3 to ITSM 7.6.4.  
One thing that struck me was that the Application List was no longer 
alphabetically and almost seemed random on the order.  Does anyone know if the 
order is something that I can configure/change?

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

[Joe Martin D'Souza]

My first immediate question to you would be did you try this on an officially 
supported browser IE on an officially supported version?

Firefox is not one of the officially supported browser, so though most things 
work on FireFox or Safari or Chrome, if something does not work, I would try it 
on a supported version of IE before deeming it to be a problem. If it’s a 
problem there too, then yes further investigate. If not then it may just be one 
of those exceptions that are not supported on non IE browsers..

Personally I like Chrome and then FireFox too, but when I encounter a problem, 
I attempt reproducing it on IE.. If it cannot be reproduced on IE, then 
technically you do not have much of a case, you could try bringing it up with 
BMC Support, but there is no guarantee they would consider it as a priority 
issue..

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

[Ortega, Jesus A]

Yes, we are using IE 8 as our main browser. I just ran the diagnostic in 
Firefox to get more information on the error.
As usual, BMC support is of no help. I had our support org escalate it as a 
high incident and all I hear is crickets from BMC land.

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

[Cecil, Ken]

I’d suggest using Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com) to capture the http 
information.

Capture it on a machine with the error and one without making sure to use the 
same browser version on each capture (to rule out browser differences and make 
sure you get the same versions of javascript files). (or logged in as the user 
that always gets the error and then a user that does not.)

Review the details carefully and see what is happening differently between 
working and error.  It will be revealing.

I our case we found out that some machines were getting incomplete copies of 
the core javascript files. It turned out to be a Riverbed appliance on the WAN 
that was caching http sessions. When we disabled that appliance from caching 
anything coming from the Mid Tier all was well again.

Also a trick you can try for that user that is always getting the issue is to 
change something substantial on her account. (like group membership or ITSM 
access role) then log in and try it again. The changes tend to force some sort 
of re-cache on the mid tier it seems.

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

[Joe Martin D'Souza]

If it does not work on IE as well on a supported version, then was it ever 
working? If so any updates to the Java libraries?

Yes, we are using IE 8 as our main browser. I just ran the diagnostic in 
Firefox to get more information on the error. 

As usual, BMC support is of no help. I had our support org escalate it as a 
high incident and all I hear is crickets from BMC land.

My first immediate question to you would be did you try this on an officially 
supported browser IE on an officially supported version?

 

Firefox is not one of the officially supported browser, so though most things 
work on FireFox or Safari or Chrome, if something does not work, I would try it 
on a supported version of IE before deeming it to be a problem. If it’s a 
problem there too, then yes further investigate. If not then it may just be one 
of those exceptions that are not supported on non IE browsers..

 

Personally I like Chrome and then FireFox too, but when I encounter a problem, 
I attempt reproducing it on IE.. If it cannot be reproduced on IE, then 
technically you do not have much of a case, you could try bringing it up with 
BMC Support, but there is no guarantee they would consider it as a priority 
issue..

Subject: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

 

** 

Greetings ARSListers,

 

I really don’t like bothering everyone on the list with questions of this type, 
but I need some help. First of all I have a 7.6.04 ARsystem \ITSM SP2 system 
and have Mid-tier 7.6.0 SP3. . I am running a load balanced, server grouped  
environment on Windows 2008 R2, and Tomcat 6, 64-bit, 2 midtiers, 2 app 
servers. 

 

In the past few days I have been getting a steady stream of complaints from my 
clients regarding an error when they are searching changes. They will go to 
Applications menu\Change Management\Search Change and when the change form 
opens and they search, they get “Caught Exception : Object Expected” . This 
only happens to a few people, not everyone, but it is consistent. I have tried 
to flush the mid-tier cache, manually delete Tomcat and Mid-tier cache, and I 
got rid of the Viewstat.dat file. One customer that has the issue can go to any 
machine and the issue follows her. I can hard code her password and log into my 
desktop and it will happen to me. 

 

We turned on logging in Firefox and captured the following error. It seems to 
point at ClientCore.js. I have a suspicion that this is cache related, perhaps 
eCache related. Your help would be appreciated.

overlays - something I just learned regarding references to the overlay

[Goodall, Andrew C]

Heads up - so you avoid my frustration.

 

So I added a custom value to an OOTB change field 'Change Type' I added
it to the Chg:Infrastructure Change and CHG:Template, thought I was good
to go - but no.

 

My new change type was not showing up in the template selection even
though the record was showing in the row and the record in CHG:Template
showed it has the new value applied.

 

Apparently any join form that references that field will read the base
form and not the overlay unless that join form is also an overlay, and
every view the field is on, and obviously the field itself.

 

Arh!

Re: Introducing BMC Remedy Health Advisor utility

[Easter, David]

The utility is designed to enable monitoring of multiple systems from a central 
location.  Thus, the clients are installed on all the remote systems to be 
monitored - not just the one where the Health Advisor application itself is 
installed.  You install the primary application on an AR System 7.6.04 server 
and the then you can monitor multiple other 7.5.00 or later servers in your 
environment.

If you only have one system and you want it to monitor itself, then you'd need 
to be on AR System 7.6.04.

If it does not work on IE as well on a supported version, then was it ever 
working? If so any updates to the Java libraries?

Yes, we are using IE 8 as our main browser. I just ran the diagnostic in 
Firefox to get more information on the error. 
As usual, BMC support is of no help. I had our support org escalate it as a 
high incident and all I hear is crickets from BMC land.

My first immediate question to you would be did you try this on an officially 
supported browser IE on an officially supported version?

 

Firefox is not one of the officially supported browser, so though most things 
work on FireFox or Safari or Chrome, if something does not work, I would try it 
on a supported version of IE before deeming it to be a problem. If it’s a 
problem there too, then yes further investigate. If not then it may just be one 
of those exceptions that are not supported on non IE browsers..

 

Personally I like Chrome and then FireFox too, but when I encounter a problem, 
I attempt reproducing it on IE.. If it cannot be reproduced on IE, then 
technically you do not have much of a case, you could try bringing it up with 
BMC Support, but there is no guarantee they would consider it as a priority 
issue..

Greetings ARSListers,
 
I really don’t like bothering everyone on the list with questions of this type, 
but I need some help. First of all I have a 7.6.04 ARsystem \ITSM SP2 system 
and have Mid-tier 7.6.0 SP3. . I am running a load balanced, server grouped  
environment on Windows 2008 R2, and Tomcat 6, 64-bit, 2 midtiers, 2 app 
servers. 
 
In the past few days I have been getting a steady stream of complaints from my 
clients regarding an error when they are searching changes. They will go to 
Applications menu\Change Management\Search Change and when the change form 
opens and they search, they get “Caught Exception : Object Expected” . This 
only happens to a few people, not everyone, but it is consistent. I have tried 
to flush the mid-tier cache, manually delete Tomcat and Mid-tier cache, and I 
got rid of the Viewstat.dat file. One customer that has the issue can go to any 
machine and the issue follows her. I can hard code her password and log into my 
desktop and it will happen to me. 
 
We turned on logging in Firefox and captured the following error. It seems to 
point at ClientCore.js. I have a suspicion that this is cache related, perhaps 
eCache related. Your help would be appreciated.

The utility is designed to enable monitoring of multiple systems from a central 
location.  Thus, the clients are installed on all the remote systems to be 
monitored - not just the one where the Health Advisor application itself is 
installed.  You install the primary application on an AR System 7.6.04 server 
and the then you can monitor multiple other 7.5.00 or later servers in your 
environment.

If you only have one system and you want it to monitor itself, then you'd need 
to be on AR System 7.6.04.

So it monitors AR System Server 7.5, but you need 7.6.04 installed to run it?  
I know I'm not a smart man, but I find that a bit confusing.

Ø   I checked the docs but doesnt specifically mention with what version of ARS 
it is compatible with. 

  

Yes it does.  From the documentation (Page 26): 

  

Prerequisites 

The following are required to install the Health Advisor application: 

[…] 

„ BMC Remedy AR System Server 7.6.04 

„ BMC Remedy IT Service Management 7.6.04 

  

and (Page 36): 

  

The Health Advisor client monitors the AR System server from version 7.5.00 or 
higher, and supports all operating system versions supported by version 7.5.00 
or higher.

It is challenging to monitor in-house BMC Remedy Action Request System servers 
and an AR System based application infrastructure that is supporting critical 
business services. To help, BMC is making the BMC Remedy Health Advisor 
application available as an unsupported utility. 


This solution consists of: 

1. BMC Remedy Health Advisor Server Application - to be deployed on a 
central BMC Remedy AR Server 
2. BMC Remedy Health Advisor Client Creator - used to create the  BMC 
Remedy Health Advisor Client  to be deployed on the AR System Server which 
needs to be monitored 




BMC Remedy Health Advisor application is designed to enable on-premise support 
personnel or a service provider offering managed services to actively monitor 
the different aspects of the AR System infrastructure and proactively be able 
to prevent the issues affecting the underlying business services. 

This solution enables a service provider to monitor AR System infrastructure of 
each instance or end-customer from one single location and also provides the 
ability to the end-customer to control what a service provider should monitor. 

Key features of this solution are as listed below: 

* Monitoring AR System Server 
* Monitoring AR System Server configuration 
* Monitoring AR System Server error log 
* Collecting AR System Server License Usage 
* Collecting AR System Server Server Statistics 
* Collecting Form Entry counts 
* Sending Alert Notification 
* Stopping and Starting AR System Server 
* Integration with BMC ITSM Incident Management application 
* Report generation 




For detailed information about the architecture, installation, creating a 
client or on-boarding a customer; please refer to the available 
documentation. 

BMC has taken commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the quality of this 
solution and has 

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

[Ortega, Jesus A]

I tried to flush the cache several times. I even tried to delete the cache 
files manually in the mid-tier cache directory and on the Tomcat Catalina 
working directory. It did not help. Fiddler does not capture anything either. I 
was told by Claire Sanford that there is a new mid-tier patch that just came 
out for 7.6.04 SP3. I just downloaded it and plan to try it in my dev 
environment. The weird thing is that the development environment shows no signs 
of problems. It is just the production one. Then again, Dev is just a straight 
one mid-tier and one app server configuration.

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

[patchsk]

We have seen this happening randomly to several users.
The solution was to delete the IE cache on the client PC.
Just clicking clear cache sometimes did not help.
Consistent way to remove IE cache is 
IE -- Tools -- Internet Options -- General tab -- Browsing History -- 
Settings -- View files --  and select all and delete.
The above steps basically takes you to the below folder:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

Close the browser and relogin to remedy.

 My first immediate question to you would be did you try this on an 
 officially supported browser IE on an officially supported version?

  

 Firefox is not one of the officially supported browser, so though most 
 things work on FireFox or Safari or Chrome, if something does not work, I 
 would try it on a supported version of IE before deeming it to be a 
 problem. If it’s a problem there too, then yes further investigate. If not 
 then it may just be one of those exceptions that are not supported on non 
 IE browsers..

  

 Personally I like Chrome and then FireFox too, but when I encounter a 
 problem, I attempt reproducing it on IE.. If it cannot be reproduced on IE, 
 then technically you do not have much of a case, you could try bringing it 
 up with BMC Support, but there is no guarantee they would consider it as a 
 priority issue..

 Greetings ARSListers,

  

 I really don’t like bothering everyone on the list with questions of this 
 type, but I need some help. First of all I have a 7.6.04 ARsystem \ITSM SP2 
 system and have Mid-tier 7.6.0 SP3. . I am running a load balanced, server 
 grouped  environment on Windows 2008 R2, and Tomcat 6, 64-bit, 2 midtiers, 
 2 app servers. 

  

 In the past few days I have been getting a steady stream of complaints 
 from my clients regarding an error when they are searching changes. They 
 will go to Applications menu\Change Management\Search Change and when the 
 change form opens and they search, they get “Caught Exception : Object 
 Expected” . This only happens to a few people, not everyone, but it is 
 consistent. I have tried to flush the mid-tier cache, manually delete 
 Tomcat and Mid-tier cache, 

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

[Brian Pancia]

More then likely it is your keep alive and timeout settings.  A way to
test this is to have a set of users hit one web server directly for
the day and another hit the other server.  More then likely they will
not get the error.  Also is ip miulticasting setup.  I have seen this
error in multiple env with loadbalancers on the mid tier side.  It is
always a settings issue in tomcat.

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

[Brian Pancia]

The reason clearing the cache and closing ie seems to work is because
you are reestablishing a connection.  What happens is a user swaps mid
tier sessions while they are in remedy.  The session headers are not
swapped over popping up the error.  Clear cache close ie and log back
in will of coarse work every time but it doesn't fix the problem.  The
swapping is random and on not consistent with any user.  This would
tell you more than likely a hot fix will not fix the issue.  It is
hard to trouble shoot because it is random and the simple thing to do
would be load a hot fix.  There are caught exceptions were this is the
case but not this one.

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

Make sure you do not have reverse proxies that cache the Remedy URL's.  We were 
advised by BMC a while ago that the mid-tier is the only component that should 
handle the cache.  After our proxy guys disabled the cache from NOT happening 
on the reverse proxies all worked fine.

 **
 It is challenging to monitor in-house BMC Remedy Action Request System 
 servers and an AR System based application infrastructure that is supporting 
 critical business services. To help, BMC is making the BMC Remedy Health 
 Advisor application available as an unsupported utility.
 This solution consists of:
 BMC Remedy Health Advisor Server Application - to be deployed on a central 
 BMC Remedy AR Server
 BMC Remedy Health Advisor Client Creator - used to create the BMC Remedy 
 Health Advisor Client to be deployed on the AR System Server which needs to 
 be monitored
 BMC Remedy Health Advisor application is designed to enable on-premise 
 support personnel or a service provider offering managed services to actively 
 monitor the different aspects of the AR System infrastructure and proactively 
 be able to prevent the issues affecting the underlying business services.
 This solution enables a service provider to monitor AR System infrastructure 
 of each instance or end-customer from one single location and also provides 
 the ability to the end-customer to control what a service provider should 
 monitor.
 Key features of this solution are as listed below:
 Monitoring AR System Server
 Monitoring AR System Server configuration
 Monitoring AR System Server error log
 Collecting AR System Server License Usage
 Collecting AR System Server Server Statistics
 Collecting Form Entry counts
 Sending Alert Notification
 Stopping and Starting AR System Server
 Integration with BMC ITSM Incident Management application
 Report generation
 For detailed information about the architecture, installation, creating a 
 client or on-boarding a customer; please refer to the available 
 documentation.
 BMC has taken commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the quality of this 
 solution and has tested for reasonable period before making this available 
 for wider consumption as an unsupported application. As an unsupported 
 utility, best effort will be provided via the BMC Communities to address 
 questions or issues regarding the utility.  BMC Support will not accept 
 issues regarding this utility.
 We are looking forward for your comments and suggestions about this utility.  
 Feedback will be used to influence future versions of the BMC Health Advisor 
 as well as potentially drive this functionality into supported solutions.
 To download BMC Remedy Health Advisor please visit the BMC Communities.  You 
 will need a BMC Communities account to access the document and utility.  A 
 BMC Communities account does not require a Support ID or maintenance contact 
 with BMC, however, and is available at no charge.
