Re: Which Flashboard Variables Are Collecting Data
Open the form FB:Variable. Here you must check the variables that are enable and are collecting history or summary info. Since it is a vendor form, you can't do complex searches. So I recommend you to search only for enabled variables and make a simple report indicating the content of Collect History, Collect Sumari and Variable Name fields. You can also list other values if you want like the periodicity, etc. You can also check the FB:History, to see the latest measures and to confirm how many measures have been created for a variable during the last week (and estimate the database space). The relationship between FB:Variable and FB:History is the Variable System ID. FB:History is stored at the database, but FB: Variable don't (it's a vendor form).

Re: ADDM to CMDB
Hi, I am not sure about what the message means, but personally would check the following. Can you ping/access the Remedy server from the ADDM server. Does the user the CMDB sync is configured with in ADDM have necessary privileges in Remedy (you can check by logging to Remedy as that user and checking if you can access CMDB and the BMC.ADDM dataset). Finally, turn on logging on the Remedy server and try to identify what commands are issued by ADDM to see where the issue might be. There are also logs on the ADDM side that might shed some light. Hope the above helps.

Re: Status Reason Selection Code
Hi, This can be achieved as follows. The Selection code cannot be modified later hence it is grayed out. The status reason selection code is not generated automatically, it has to be entered manually. Besides this selection code must match with the ID of menu item in the hidden field Status_Reason_Hidden. That means, if the custom status reason has got id as 20001 in Status_Reason_Hidden then the value of selection code for that status reason in the SYS:Status Reason Menu Item must be 20001. When selecting the status, the workflow checks for two things Firstly, status name added to status reason hidden field is present in the form SYS:Status Reason Menu Item or not. Secondly the id of the menu item matches with the selection code or not To solve the given issue the entry must be deleted (as selection code cannot be modified later) a new entry must be created with same name as added in the status reason hidden field and selection code as ID in the status reason hidden field.

Support of multiple LDAP domains for Analytics Dashboards
One would have to be brave to engage with the 270+ page AtriumSSO 8 documentation. It's longer and more scary than a Harry Potter book :) And on a more factual note, OpenSSO/AtriumSSO does not remove the need for duplication of users/groups in each BMC product. That's why the JSS SSO Plugin has become a key component for BMC's larger customers who are doing exactly what Jamie requests. :) Without SSO Plugin, I think BOXI can handle multiple LDAPs.

Multi-Tenant Approval Signature Escalations
Good afternoon, I have an unusual request that I am working through, and hope that someone here has an idea that may work to implement different signature escalations on different approvals within the same process. Basically, we have two different Change Management processes in ITSM 7.6.4. To facilitate this, I have created different records in: - Support Groups under fake Companies that just hold Support Groups - Approval Process Configuration - Process Flow Configuration - Approval Mappings Despite those being different, I am mostly using the out of the box Approval Process Definitions. So for example, between both divergent company processes, the auditors can always see that both sides of the company completed their approvals in the Change Level - Implementation phase. A request has been made to allow one of the companies to do signature escalations for specific approval mappings. In this example, for the Change Level - Implementation phase, we are being asked to provide the capability for two different Approval Mappings: 1. Business Owner (a manager on the business side, usually mapped based on of a Product Name or a Service.) The Change Request should sit in a pending approval status until this individual or an alternate approves it. 2. I.T. Infrastructure Approvals, which begin with the Change Manager, which then escalates to the infrastructure director after two hours, which then updates to the CIO over this side of the organization after an additional two hours, which then updates to a Support Group featuring all I.T. Management within that support organization after one hour, at which point when the full time is up, the Change Request is automatically approved. The two main issues I have are: 1. I don't see any way to set up the Approval Process Definitions to escalate differently in a multi-tenant manner. It looks like I need to set up a different Approval Process Definition similar to the Change Level - Implementation one, but trigger it from a different Approval Process Configuration. 2. I don't see any way to be able to escalate approvals up a chain like this, only to send notifications or do an automatic approval. What I think may be the best solution for this is to simply set the I.T. Management group (or a subset of it in a new Support Group) in the Approval Mapping, which notifies all of them and gives them all an opportunity to approve, but then notifies the director and CIO unnecessarily. I'm not sure if there's some way to use the Level field on the Approver Mappings to build separate mappings for the Escalation, but I don't see how this would work conceptually. Thanks in advance just for reading this message. If you have any suggestions other than building a custom app, they would be greatly appreciated.
