** It is a little hard to say what version it was

Because in 2012 -- BMC renamed it all to BMC Atrium ... threw in the

discovery software + a CMDB...

But in 2014 Oracle broke it all up -- and peeled off the ITSM software 
into something they called Oracle Service Support  (And the concept of a 
development admin tool went away) -- it is purely configuration and consulting 
to configure the product...
(Traditional Remedy customer are unhappy - new customers don't know 
better - think they are eating a juicy steak - turns out it is pink slime)

RemedyForce was taken over by Business.com (aka Salesforce.com).

RemedyOnDemand - still exists -- but is part of Oracle Scalable 
Enterprise - which everybody calls Oh say ... can you see -- because nobody 
can actually see it working... kind of a weird industry joke... (Still not sure 
about it -- I think 2021 humor goes over my head)

Same timeframe -- Oracle renamed Remedy to Oracle Enable ... and it 
became really the adhoc business back-office apps generator

SRM was abandoned by Oracle -- really BMC killed it before Oracle got 
it (circa 2011) - BMC just never told the customers.

Of course Kinetic Data stayed independent and front-ends both Oracle 
Service Support and the Enable framework - keeping customers happy - regardless 
of the shenanigans behind the scenes...

BTW - the MN Vikings still are without a Superbowl in 2021 :(

Obama gets reelected.
Republican gets elected 2016 -- does a fair job - but chooses not to 
rerun.
Hillary gets 2020.

And that is all I know...

Instead of using the Calendar widgit, could you place a button over the widgit

You could then execute your active link from the dialog box or after it returns

iPhones and Aeroprise

2012-09-18 Thread Warren R. Baltimore II
Has anyone utilized the iPhone via Aeroprise?  We are intending on using
handheld scanners that are connected to the iPhone for asset management.
Our original solution was to use Blackberry via the BES to aeroprise, but
given the current uncertainties surrounding RIM, the decision has been made
to move away from Blackberry.  iPhone is currently the preferred solution,
but I'm unable to find any documentation on using them with the iPhone.

Re: Error on Mid Tier

2012-09-18 Thread ITSM.Support
Hi Prakash,

For the below error -

One of the common reasons for this Error can occur if Java script try to 
retrieve the information before html info is fully loaded. This is why 'Unable 
to get value' message appears. This is a common error for some of the versions 
of the Internet Explorer.

Below solution can resolve the issue:

1) Clear the browser cache (Browsing history / temporary internet files)

2) Clear out temp files under TEMP directory in your client machine. TEMP here 
usually refers to Documents and Settings\Users\Local Settings\Temp.

3) Login again.

Re: [EXTERNAL] iPhones and Aeroprise

2012-09-18 Thread Stroud, Natalie K
Warren:

I'm not sure if you're talking about server config/how to install/uninstall or 
more of a users' guide type of document.  We're looking to deploy Mobility 
(formerly Aeroprise) with the Blackberry, and I searched the web high and low 
for something along the lines of a user's guide.  I found one video on You Tube 
that sounded like what I wanted, but it was locked down and I couldn't access 
it.  I only write test plans as opposed to user guides (thanks goodness!), but 
I did have to figure out how the app works on my own.  I didn't find it to be 
that hard to figure out, but it was time-consuming to do (and document!).  And 
at least on the BB, some of the app's behavior is just not intuitive.  
Searching for users during ticket creation and adding Work Infos in particular 
weren't obvious procedures, and we are unable to associate a CI with a ticket 
at all.  Your experience may of course vary on the iPhone.

Here is a grab bag of stuff I learned:

* You can make just about any field from the Incident form appear on 
the Mobility server.

* You can make any Remedy app appear on the Mobility server if you 
really want to.

* Field labels aren't named the same as they are on the Incident form, 
so you may want to consider renaming them for consistency's sake.

* If you make a change on the Mobility Server, users need to Exit  
Clear Data (clear the cache) before they can pick up changes.

* Users can log in to the Mobility server, and, if you're willing to 
teach them how, rearrange field order or add lookups, but you can't move fields 
to different sections - they'll just appear at the bottom of the Mobility 
incident form in a highly inconvenient location if you do.

* Attachments aren't available by default.

Across the board, the documentation for Mobility is a little lacking.

Good luck!

Re: [EXTERNAL] iPhones and Aeroprise

2012-09-18 Thread Tommy Morris
The BB Aeroprise interface is a client and I did not like it at all. The iPhone 
interface is much better, the Android interface had some issues due to the OS 
version on the phones that caused it to ignore Java headings. That may have 
been corrected in the newest version of BMC Mobility or the latest Android OS.

I'm not sure if you're talking about server config/how to install/uninstall or 
more of a users' guide type of document.  We're looking to deploy Mobility 
(formerly Aeroprise) with the Blackberry, and I searched the web high and low 
for something along the lines of a user's guide.  I found one video on You Tube 
that sounded like what I wanted, but it was locked down and I couldn't access 
it.  I only write test plans as opposed to user guides (thanks goodness!), but 
I did have to figure out how the app works on my own.  I didn't find it to be 
that hard to figure out, but it was time-consuming to do (and document!).  And 
at least on the BB, some of the app's behavior is just not intuitive.  
Searching for users during ticket creation and adding Work Infos in particular 
weren't obvious procedures, and we are unable to associate a CI with a ticket 
at all.  Your experience may of course vary on the iPhone.

Here is a grab bag of stuff I learned:

* You can make just about any field from the Incident form appear on 
the Mobility server.

* You can make any Remedy app appear on the Mobility server if you 
really want to.

* Field labels aren't named the same as they are on the Incident form, 
so you may want to consider renaming them for consistency's sake.

* If you make a change on the Mobility Server, users need to Exit  
Clear Data (clear the cache) before they can pick up changes.

* Users can log in to the Mobility server, and, if you're willing to 
teach them how, rearrange field order or add lookups, but you can't move fields 
to different sections - they'll just appear at the bottom of the Mobility 
incident form in a highly inconvenient location if you do.

* Attachments aren't available by default.

Across the board, the documentation for Mobility is a little lacking.

Good luck!

 The BB Aeroprise interface is a client and I did not like it at all. The
 iPhone interface is much better, the Android interface had some issues due
 to the OS version on the phones that caused it to ignore Java headings.
 That may have been corrected in the newest version of BMC Mobility or the
 latest Android OS.

You could go into ar.cfg 

add the 2 lines :

ars_track_long_queries_min_length: 5000 # This is milliseconds - so all 
greater than 5 seconds


Then -- restart server

Look for table called: ARS_TRACK_QUERIES (I think that is the name)…

Look in there -- it will tell

ars_track_long_queries_min_length: 5000 # This is milliseconds - so all 
greater than 5 seconds


Then -- restart server

Chris,
It will tell you all the big SQL queries running in th esystem.
GLEWF API calls which are associated with large queries 
 
You can use this to see
- which form is getting most of the GLEWF call , need more indexing etc 
- Which user is issueing it , do he need to do that or can go to alternate 
source to pull reports etc
- Frequency of the call,at what time he is using it can he do it during non 
peak hours 
- corelate it if that is actually causing the serve slowness and outage

2012-09-18 Thread Jason Miller
We have Large Result Logging turned on.  While it does show us some people
who could use some education it has never given us information (form/user)
regarding a query that hangs the system.  For some reason these hanging
queries do not seem to be logged by this feature.

We use the below MS SQL query to find the offending process and query but
since it is at the SQL level it doesn't tell us who issued the query.  I
would love to be able to correlated this with the thread log.  These hangs
happens so rarely now it doesn't warrant keeping SQL logging on at all
times.

Two Run Macro actions cannot be converted:
· When you use the query bar inside the macro and:
oField names and field labels on the current form are different.
oYou use field IDs not on the current form as a parameter inside the query.
· Any action involving logging in.
My MACRO appears to match request id’s from two different forms.

Which kind of makes sense.. You can’t get a heart beat of a dead man.. But you 
might get the last thing that was run before the system died?

Alternately I think if there was a process completely outside the AR System 
that monitored the DB User, it could monitor these things, you would have it 
running even after a server restart. Maybe one of the BMC monitoring tools may 
be an answer to this?

Re: Data Import Processing.

2012-09-18 Thread Reiser, John J
Solved thanks to Fred Grooms.


I had to use a Set fields action of SQL and CAST the length because for some 
reason MS SQL was only returning the first character of the field from the 
Asset_Info_System form when the imported field was null.

SELECT ISNULL(CAST(NULLIF('$Class Number$','') AS varchar(100)), Class_Number),
   ISNULL(CAST(NULLIF('$Loc-Bldg$','') AS varchar(100)), Building),
   ISNULL(CAST(NULLIF('$Loc-Room$','') AS varchar(100)), Room),
   ISNULL(CAST(NULLIF('$Loc-Area$','') AS varchar(10)), Cube), 
   ISNULL(CAST(NULLIF('$People ID$','') AS varchar(10)), People_ID)
FROM Asset_Info_System where Bar_Code = '$Bar Code$'

Fred,
I gave it another shot today with some progress.
Now I have the issue of my set fields value $1$ only returns the first 
character if the imported column($Field 1$) is NULL. Other than that it's 
working.

SELECT ISNULL(NULLIF('$Field 1$',''), Field_1) FROM Asset_Form  where Asset_ID 
= '$Asset ID$'

The Field 1 field on each form is the same.
If I take out the NULLIF I only get the imported value.
I've got to be missing something simple.

Sounds like a good use for an SQL set fields to me

Use the Set fields to fill in the missing data fields into your Pre-Import form 
  
   SELECT  Nz('$Field1$', Field1), Nz('$Field2$', Field2), Nz('$Field3$', 
Field3) from SQL_FORM_VIEW WHERE x=y

Nz is the MS-SQL function for Non-Null so if the new data has a value it will 
be kept otherwise the original value will be pulled in.

Then just a regular single push will work as all fields have data.

Hello Listers,
 ARS 7.6.03 Build 001
MS SQL 2005
Windows Server 2003 VM

I'm working with a group that needs constant data imports to an asset form in 
ARSystem.
To handle this we built a Pre-Import form.
Everything gets imported to the Pre-Import form which has filters firing on 
merge to see if the asset exists in the ARSystem form. If it exists certain 
data is copied to the Pre-import form and used to determine if the asset record 
should be updated. If it doesn't exist we just push the Pre-import record 
through as a new asset.

Now others want to use this process and they have many more fields to import 
but not all of the fields will have data every time.

My dilemma is this, when a record is loaded to the Pre-import form AND it 
exists in the asset form, blank fields in the import form clear out the asset 
field when merged. 
The only way I can think to overcome this is to have a filter per field to 
check for $NULL$ and then don't do a filter PUSH on merge for that field.

Two Run Macro actions cannot be converted:

oYou use field IDs not on the current form as a parameter inside the query.

 Because in 2012 -- BMC renamed it all to BMC Atrium ... threw in the

 But in 2014 Oracle broke it all up -- and peeled off the ITSM software
 into something they called Oracle Service Support  (And the concept
 of a development admin tool went away) -- it is purely configuration and
 consulting to configure the product...
 (Traditional Remedy customer are unhappy - new customers don't know

 RemedyForce was taken over by Business.com (aka Salesforce.com).

 Enterprise - which everybody calls Oh say ... can you see -- because
 nobody can actually see it working... kind of a weird industry joke...

 became really the adhoc business back-office apps generator

At least in the version 7.6.03 there is no link between change approval 
mappings  and CI relationship type of Approved by.
Approval engine is designed to be out of the box and to be used with non 
ITSM modules as well.
Even Change Mgmt module also can be used without other ITSM or Atrium 
modules.
May be that is the reason they did not built any logic to look at CI 
relationship types to retrieve approvals and just used the approval mapping 
form.

Yes. That was the intent. In 7.0 you could not use the CI Approver tab and the 
other approver tab in Approval mapping. To clarify that you COULD put an entry 
in but if other criteria was populated on other tabs then the CI Approver tab 
was ignored. I am not sure if this was fixed, I haven't used CI Approvers in 
7.5 and up.

Re: Setting up approvals for CIs

2012-09-18 Thread Tommy Morris
Hmm, maybe I’m mistaken on where the CI Approver tab did the lookup then. As I 
stated it’s been a while since I worked with the CI approval tab.

** At least in the version 7.6.03 there is no link between change approval 
mappings  and CI relationship type of Approved by.
Approval engine is designed to be out of the box and to be used with non ITSM 
modules as well.
Even Change Mgmt module also can be used without other ITSM or Atrium modules.
May be that is the reason they did not built any logic to look at CI 
relationship types to retrieve approvals and just used the approval mapping 
form.

Hey guys, a general question regarding approvals.

The People/Org/Support Group relationships allow for “approved by” 
relationships for the entity related to the CI.

Does this have any link to the Approver Engine?  And if so, what is it?  I know 
that you can set up approvals for a CI in the Approval Mappings form and do it 
based on Approval Phase, wonder if the CI “approved by” relationships have 
anything to do with it.

Thanks

Re: MACRO Converter

2012-09-18 Thread Joe Martin D'Souza

It does sound very doable..

Remember macros were more actively used before the dawn of Push Fields, Window 
Open, and actions such as those.. All that the converter does is look at things 
like that and converts them to corresponding AL actions..

I believe I can do it with some set and push fields. I just have to map out 
what all is going on in there.

 

It’s used in an active link that updates information from a ticket to an 
escalation.

What does the macro accomplish?

 

If a set field or push field cannot, I’ll be surprised if you cannot do it with 
a Direct SQL, although that is the least preferred way to go, given other 
choices.. Sometimes that’s the only plausible choice..

Thanks for the responses, but from reading some of the documentation it sounds 
like it wouldn’t work on mine. 

Two Run Macro actions cannot be converted: 

· When you use the query bar inside the macro and:

oField names and field labels on the current form are different.

oYou use field IDs not on the current form as a parameter inside the query.

· Any action involving logging in.

My MACRO appears to match request id’s from two different forms.

I may have to find a way to rebuild the functionality from scratch. Or just do 
away with that functionality altogether (-:

 

Thanks,

I think it was the v5.1 Admin Tool.  I don’t think any later Admin tool had the

Can anyone tell me the last version that had the MACRO converter? 

 

I have some active links that are using RUN MACRO and I would like to get them 
converted to Active Links.

 

It seems like I remember this topic being discussed before, but I am unable to 
search the archives for some reason. My browser goes off in space……
