Re: Filter Plugin

2012-08-06 Thread Jose Huerta
Solved!!

The problem was in some spaces at the  pluginsvr_config.xml at the folder
definition of the jar files. Those space were in the original
documentation, and the author (Yudi Maryanto) directly tell me where was
the typo https://communities.bmc.com/communities/message/258870#258870

But, I also learned how to debug the definition of a new plugin, because I
was trying to see the error on arplugin.log file, and that isn't the place
where the logs are.

Thanks you all, because without you I would surely spend a lot of hours
looking for how to debug the error.

Also, I'm creating a display only form with a service structure, so it will
be easy to use the call. As soon as I'll get it running I will post it,
with the def file.

IBRSD and Multiple BEM servers

2012-08-06 Thread Narayanan, Radhika
Hi List,

We've an instance of IBRSD on our ITSM 7.6.03 server. Can this instance be 
configured to integrate with multiple BEM servers?

Multiple BEM servers will raise incidents with ITSM. And ITSM has to respond 
back to all the BEM servers. Is this configuration possible to achieve?

Thanks in advance,

recommend posting to communities, however I believe BEM/SIM can do this
multiple ways..
BEM more than one pushed to 1 central server, into the remedy system/ OR
configure multiple IBRSD connections.
Please consult manuals, and bmc.

Hi,

Maybe a simple Modify-ALL where you set the slots to NULL?

Or an ACTL-Push-Fields where you set the fields to $NULL$.

Or an ESCL that runs every now and then ans just makes a simple
Set-Fields: attachslot1 = $NULL$ on old records.

Re: removing attachments

2012-08-06 Thread Longwing, LJ CTR MDA/IC
Marcelo,
I have two solutions that come to mind

1 - Export affected records to ARX with the request ID and the attachment 
field, update the ARX to not have an attachment defined, and re-import the arx, 
this should effectively eliminate the attachments from those records
2 - Programmatically (Java API maybe) take a list of request id's and set the 
attachment field to null

Skip Navigation Question

2012-08-06 Thread Peter Joran
All
Our customer wants to build in skip navigation into customer facing forms
to meet 508 compliance requirements. I've looked on-line and in
documentation but I'm finding references on how to do this in Remedy. If
anyone has a thought or idea on how to build in skip navigation I would be
grateful.

Many thanks

Re: Skip Navigation Question

2012-08-06 Thread Timothy Powell
We played with this a while back. One of the solutions we played with, we
called a Jump Menu, and was as follows:

 

Make the first field in your form a drop down menu field that can be called
with the arrow keys. It's important that it be the first field, because the
keyboard shortcut for Home (Shift-Ctrl-Home) will always take the user back
to this field.

Each value in the drop-down menu corresponds with a section on your form. So
if the first value in the menu was Assignment, then there would be an
Assignment section on the form.

Head that section up with a character field displayed as text.

When the section is picked from the drop down, set focus to the section
heading.

The fact that you created the heading as a character field displayed as text
will allow a typical support screen reader like JAWS to read the heading
back to the user for verification (screen readers have difficulty reading
trim text).

 

That was the base design. We even went a few steps further and added
required fields within sections as a menu choice and we provided the
capability for people to add custom jump points to the Jump Menu.

 

And not really tied to skip navigation, but it's VERY important for 508 to
have your tabbing order be very clean and concise.

 

HTH,

Tim

Re: Caught Exception Object Expected - 7.6.04 Mid-tier

2012-08-06 Thread Ortega, Jesus A
I have had the user log into both web servers directly. She gets the error on 
either one of my web servers. I have asked the network engineer to clear the 
connections on the ACE load balancer and that didn't help. I even upgraded my 
development mid-tier with the hot-fix, pointed it at the Production server 
group, and logged in as the user and still got the error I even got  a new 
cached ID, but I still get the error. I am thinking that something is corrupt 
with her profile after our last DDM. We used the same servers during UAT and 
she had no issues. After we cut over the staging servers to be production, we 
restored our UAT environment with a backup from production prior to UAT. Then 
we did a final DDM to bring over the Deltas. After that, we cut over the DNS 
alias for the server group name (VIP) and then reconfigured the servers. After 
that, we started getting the errors. Something tells me that there is an issue 
with the DDM that corrupted the data.

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: OT: ARSLIST Signal-to-noise ratio

2012-08-06 Thread Jose Huerta
Hi Doug,

First, Before beginning exposing my opinion, I want to state that the
arslist is the most value Remedy resource for me at this time. Also, that
the next is only my opinion and a constructive critic. I'm new to this
community and I will try to do my best to follow the rules.

Said this, I think that maybe Arslist is not on the best communication
format available for sharing the knowledge. A community of 50 or 100
experts can be hold as an email group, but when the numbers go higher I
think that web-based forums fit better for the purpose.

Arslist is based on mail, and people apply on ARS list what they normally
apply for the email. Than means the use of sophisticated signatures and
include the complete reply of the previous email. You can teach people to
not to do it, but it will last for a few days. This especially applies when
people share their normal email account in ARSlist. I allways try to delete
my corporate signature by my name and the address of my blog. But,
sometimes I forget to do it, and the signature is sent. I will try to not
to send it, but I surely know that sometimes I will forget and I will send
it.

About not including the reply: modern email software (Thunderbird, outlook,
main web based like gmail, ...) organizes the emails in conversations,
hiding the replied content. If you erase the copy of the original message,
these software tend to fail identifying the conversation, disorganizing the
mails. For me this is the highest SNR possible, since all conversations are
messed. I know that this is a high load for ARSlist servers. Again it is
difficult to train ARSlist users to not to do it, since they will have
their email clients programmed to include the reply, because it is expected
normally at e-mailing.

Also, the use of formatted HTML text had became the standard nowadays. I
can't change the configuration of my email client for each email. And this
will surely apply for the most of the users.

As I see the problem, the standard use of the e-mail is not well suited for
the ARSlist, so I consider a mistake to use e-mail as the communication
interface. Maybe it's time to consider moving to an independent forum. Also
called ARSlist and managed by the same people who is managing ARSlist.

The advantages of a forum are countless. Starting from the ability to
moderate the conversations, create sticky content and organize the
conversations in themes. Someone can tell: You are describing the BMC
communities, ARSlist is different. No, ARSlist isn't about the
communication interface, but about it's independence and people conforming
it. Why do I have a independent blog when I can create it on BMC
communities? Because I maintain myself independent and free.

Again, please I try to help with my comment. I say it with my best
intention, and I'm not trying to feed the troll. Don't matter the format
ARSlist uses, I will continue to read it.

Regards,

Jose Huerta
