Bar Code Scanner

2012-10-16 Thread Vikram
hi Listers,

I need a bit of a help from our integration experts here on the list. One of my 
client wants me to integrate bar code scanner with custom app (yes its a 
complete custom app and we do not use even Asset Management for the inventory 
management for the customer). 

What we have as a client requirement was that the inventory data to be 
maintained in a regular form. Now I need to integrate bar code scanner to scan 
the serial number of every item from the inventory as and when it moves in or 
moves our from 16 different regional inventories.

So now the big question is how do I go about the architecture of the bar code 
scanner as I don't know much about its functionality and interfaing and hence 
need some help here. 

If anyone has done anything similar or have any idea a big thanks in advance :) 

The system details are ARS 7406 SP2 and SQL server everything on windows Cloud 
environment. 

Thanks,
Vikrant

Re: Bar Code Scanner

2012-10-16 Thread Grooms, Frederick W
How a scanner connects depends on the bar code scanner you will be using.  The 
newer ones are just a standard USB connection.  Older styles connected as a PS2 
connection between the keyboard and the computer.

To the application they look just like you typed the data in from the keyboard 
(and depending on how you have configured them they can have a Return or Tab 
after the bar code data).

My first suggestion would be to find out which scanner hardware they will be 
using.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Multi-tenancy, Human resources, field ID 112 etc.

2012-10-16 Thread Logan, Kelly
I am working on coming up with a reasonable compromise for this as well, but 
focused on SRM.

Goals:

* HR tickets (those assigned to HR support groups, or using HR 
services, perhaps) should be viewable only by HR personnel and the ticket 
submitter/contact.

* HR employees have the same access to IT and other regular services 
and are listed in reports as part of the total company data.

* HR employees have access to other employees' People data.

So, to walk through this,

1.   Set up Calbro as an operating company (for IT and other support 
groups), with all non-HR departments and employees in it.

2.   Set up Calbro-HR as an operating company, with only HR departments and 
employees.

3.   Give HR employees access to Calbro and Calbro-HR.

The problem as I see it is with this set-up is that it does not restrict access 
from the customer company; say, a Calbro customer submits a ticket that is 
assigned to an HR person in Calbro-HR, the current workflow will add both the 
customer and assignee companies into the Assignee Groups field, which means 
that every other employee in Calbro can still see the ticket, even if it is 
assigned to Calbro-HR support groups. In other words, I don't see how 
multi-tenancy allows you to segregate data to prevent viewing by employees that 
are in the same company, which is the goal with HR requests.

Since OOB workflow (filters SHR:SHR:UpdateGroupList...) automatically adds the 
customer company in, the only choice I see is to modify that workflow in some 
fashion. The simplest solution seems to be to keep HR in the same company, but 
create custom code that short-circuits the regular workflow and puts in the 
assignee group(s) into field 112 (instead of the company permission group) when 
that group is in the HR organization.

I think a more complex, but better solution would be to replace it entirely 
with code that determined assignee group based on a set of rules that could be 
data configured, perhaps using computed groups instead?

We had customers with a similar requirement, only both they and our Service 
Desk wanted to be able to assign their tickets back and forth across both 
companies in the case of a misroute or a request needing to be forwarded 
(Service Desk on restricted side to HR on unrestricted side to some HR IT group 
back on the restricted side, for instance).  We could not find an option we 
liked for that, so that set of users elected not to come on board with us.  The 
issue I question with Aditya's solution is that it looks to me like it allows 
one-way assignment only - from unrestricted HR company to restricted regular 
company. And if you put the Service Desk on the unrestricted side to allow 
assignment both ways, you're the sensitive HR data is potentially compromised.

I wouldn't swear I'm right about this, though, as this request was a while 
back.  As always, test for yourself if you want to be absolutely certain!

** Hi Ron,

You can achieve this with multi-tenancy. You will need to create separate 
compony for you HR users. Lets say your compony is Calbro, the new company can 
be Calbaro-HR. All the foundation data corresponding to your HR department 
should use this new company. You can have access restriction set for users 
(Service Desk etc) to Calbro only (Add Calbro in Access Restriction Tab of all 
the Calbro Users) so that cannot access anything related to Calbro-HR compony. 
But vice versa you can set allow your HR users to have access to Calbro as well 
as Calbro-HR companies (or Give HR users Unrestricted Access if only two 
companies are there in your system).

Regards,
Aditya

but does not jboss cost too? and I see if for linux, but not solaris.. (I
might be missing that doc for jboss)
plus I would have to add it to a list of approved software..  and buy it..

But it will work with tomcat? just not as fast.. your saying..

Seems to me they should make the doc's a little clearer in this area..
Min requirement, etc..  and I also  noticed the installer
installer says you have to put web services infrastructure on another box,
with Registry.. but it still lets you put it on the same box, so I do not
know if it will work that way, or cause conflicts it just does not say..

SRM Mappings

SRM 7.6.04 Patch 2 I am hoping this is an easy question and I am overlooking 
something.  When I click on a service request to submit (that creates an 
Incident); I have the fields phone  number, email, quantity and required date 
available to me for edit. I get that I can configure which of these fields is 
visible. If I modify these fields do they get pushed anywhere to the Incident 
OTB without any configurations or customizations?  If not, I would assume that 
I have to add Phone Number, Email to the AOT, it just surprises me that these 
arent available as Target Data out of the box for Incident.   So are other 
companies just pushing all the header information into the Summary field like

Those fields are SR Fields in your variable mapping. Normally, that info is
passed into the requester info for a change/work order/incident. You can
map the fields as you wish to whatever variables you've configured in the
PDT. You can format the data however you wish in the variable mappings
section of the SRD.
Does this answer your question?

Re: Bar Code Scanner

2012-10-16 Thread Jose Manuel Huerta Guillén
You have two ways of information when integrating a bar code system in your
app. The first one is reading a bar code to the application. The next one
is to generate a bar code from the application.

Depending on your application and your procedures you will need one or both
communication ways.

Reading the bar code to your app is the easiest part of the job. Just buy
and standard bar code scanner and you will see that the drivers normally
consider it as a keyboard input. So when you press the button at your
barcode scanner is just like writting numbers and some extra keys (like
return, tabs, etc.). Some drivers are amazing since they can focus the
cursor on a field before inserting the numbers, so you don't need to click
on the field before. If not, you can  do as I did. I added a big button
called BARCODE SCAN that only focuses the correct field.

The other part is about your report engine. I know that there are solutions
to get barcodes at cristal reports, but I'm not aware of them. I didn't
need them, since we print tons of barcodes, attach them to the CI's and the
scan them to the CMDB. So we always read the barcodes, never print them
from the application.

2012-10-16 Thread Tauf Chowdhury
If you mean in the customer or requester info, that is probably because
there is workflow on the interface form for the fulfillment app to lookup
the customer info from the ctm:people form. This workflow may be executed
after the SRM workflow which may overwrite anything you type. I haven't
logged this workflow in a while so a little fuzzy there.

One thing you could do as a workaround is build conditional menus for the

Jboss is open source.  Suppor costs $$$.  You can run the midtier in jboss
without any issues, if you want just a single container.  It all depends on
what they did with the atrium components whether.jboss is required.

Re: Bar Code Scanner

2012-10-16 Thread Warren R. Baltimore II
There are also wireless solutions that you can use.  I am in the process of
setting up a process using the Grabba barcode scanner.  This is a sled that
an i-Phone sits in.  We have installed the Aeroprise Mobility solution to
allow the iPhone to connect with Remedy.

 ** You have two ways of information when integrating a bar code system in
 your app. The first one is reading a bar code to the application. The next
 one is to generate a bar code from the application.

 Depending on your application and your procedures you will need one or
 both communication ways.

 Reading the bar code to your app is the easiest part of the job. Just buy
 and standard bar code scanner and you will see that the drivers normally
 consider it as a keyboard input. So when you press the button at your
 barcode scanner is just like writting numbers and some extra keys (like
 return, tabs, etc.). Some drivers are amazing since they can focus the
 cursor on a field before inserting the numbers, so you don't need to click
 on the field before. If not, you can  do as I did. I added a big button
 called BARCODE SCAN that only focuses the correct field.

 The other part is about your report engine. I know that there are
 solutions to get barcodes at cristal reports, but I'm not aware of them. I
 didn't need them, since we print tons of barcodes, attach them to the CI's
 and the scan them to the CMDB. So we always read the barcodes, never print
 them from the application.

 I am noticing, when I make a change to the phone number and email.  It is
 not pushing the phone number and email to the request or the incident that
 is created.  I am wondering if this is working as designed OOTB or if
 this is a defect with SRM 7.6.04 SP2.

 Those fields are SR Fields in your variable mapping. Normally, that info
 is passed into the requester info for a change/work order/incident. You can
 map the fields as you wish to whatever variables you've configured in the
 PDT. You can format the data however you wish in the variable mappings
 section of the SRD.
 Does this answer your question?

 Yes.. I'm ARSlisting while at the RUG kick off. Shame on me!!

 SRM 7.6.04 Patch 2

 I am hoping this is an easy question and I am overlooking something.  When
 I click on a service request to submit (that creates an Incident); I have
 the fields phone  number, email, quantity and required date available to me
 for edit. I get that I can configure which of these fields is visible.

 If I modify these fields do they get pushed anywhere to the Incident OTB
 without any configurations or customizations?  If not, I would assume that
 I have to add Phone Number, Email to the AOT, it just surprises me that
 these arent available as Target Data out of the box for Incident.

 So are other companies just pushing all the header information into the
 Summary field like the following:

 Customer Phone: 555.555.
 Email:  joeu...@bmc.com
 Qty:  2
 Required Date:  10/22/2012

 Summary:  This is a test


 OR

 Are companies adding fields to the AOT to house these values?

 Thanks

8.0 Requirements -- JBOSS only for Atrium Core.

2012-10-16 Thread John Baker
Hello

If an application runs in Tomcat, there is little justification for JBoss. 
Tomcat has management tools, clustering, etc. If an application makes use of 
JBoss (JEE) features then of course it makes sense to use JBoss over 
Tomcat+lots of libraries. 

I would struggle, but not refuse, to believe a JEE-free webapp runs faster in 
JBoss than Tomcat given JBoss uses Tomcat for a servlet engine and usually an 
older version than you may choose to download and install. 

One has to be careful they have a good reason for using a JEE server over 
Tomcat. There's a good reason that Tomcat may be the worlds most deployed 
servlet engine: it is good. 

I've not seen any BMC app embrace JEE beyond ITBM that I believe they 
purchased. 

That's probably a good thing. 


John
