Re: Baffled by outgoiong email

2012-11-30 Thread itsm.support
Hi,

 

It seems any other well configured mailbox which is in 'Enable' state is
doing this job.
You can try with putting some wrong info in Email server user  password
fields in Mailbox Configuration for that particular mailbox.

** 

Hi All,

 

Currently working on a OOB ITSM 7.6.04 implementation don't want to allow
outgoing email while users are getting familiar with it. I have disabled the
mailbox and all of the OOB notifications. Each day I go onto the ARS Email
Messages form and do a 'Create Date'  $DATE$ search on outgoing mail, there
are emails listed that Send Message: Sent and Date Sent: a date.

 

Really don't want to turn off the email engine if I don't have to do so.
What am I missing?

 

Thanks

Mark

Hi,

one more vote for restart the engine if in doubt.

Our admins recently set up new Exchange servers. The mailhost alias would 
resolve to the IP addresses of the new servers when we did a lookup from the 
shell, however the email engine would still send mails to the old IP...

Regards,
Michael

Hi Doug,

Been a while, hope you are doing well. Why would I need to restart the email 
engine? I have the com.bmc.arsys.emaildaemon.serverName.Interval=30 In the

Mark,
Not sure what missing, but one very quick fix, is custom filter 
low execution order (0-10) that on a submit (outgoing) set send message to no 
and go to 1000
(Another thought, since you disabled the mailbox, did you restart the email 
engine?)

SLM Customization - Help Needed

2012-11-30 Thread Shivanand Jeerigiwad
Hi All,

I have a customization on SLM but not getting how to start as i am a
fresher to customization.
Requirement is :

   - For Resolution Service Targets, when the service target is met (e.g.
   Status = Resolved) and then time has passed passes, when the request is
   re-opened, the amount of business time between the time the service target
   was met and the current time needs to be added back to the service target
   goal



Here is a scenario to support this, say there is resolution service target
with a 4 hr target attached to an 8am – 5pm business time entity.  A ticket
is opened at 4pm and then resolved at 4:30 which ‘met the service target’.
Now at 10am the next business day, the request is reopened.  The
accumulated total “Open Time”/Elapsed in the SLM:Measurement record for
that target should be 3 hours (1 hour from the previous day and 2 hours the
next morning as we only count business time) and continue from that point
(1 hour remaining in the target) instead of resuming at 30 minutes elapsed
time as the out-of-box behavior would be.  If the request would have been
reopened at 1pm instead of 9am, the request would already have the service
target breached.
Please help me.

Hi Francois,

  Atrium Core is a collection of multiple services / products - so I can't 
really answer the question as phrased.  Can you point to the documentation that 
stated that the service you're thinking of needed to be on the same AR System 
server as ITSM in Atrium Core 7.6.04?  Perhaps from that we can determine what 
service you're referring to and if things have changed in the 8.0.00 
documentation.

  Or you could look through the 8.0.00 documentation on your own to see if you 
can find the answer:  https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/ac80/Home

Re: ARerror.log file size control

2012-11-30 Thread Jason Miller
I have also wondered why there are not many option for arerror.log.  I am
thinking it is left simple because it is a core function that you want to
happen every time something there is a system error.  By adding more
options and making it more complex there is more possibility something can
go wrong with writing to the arerror.log when needed.

 Maybe create an Idea for this in BMC Communities?

Re: sizing requirements 8.0 -- how to get

2012-11-30 Thread Francois Seegers
There were talks/rumors in the past (maybe I'm incorrect) that with version 8 
Atrium with its components (normalization, recon etc.) can run totally on a 
separate server (not server group) from the ITSM applications.  I guess this is 
only possible in a server group environment.

So let's say I have ARS + ITSM on one server and ARS + Atrium on a second 
independent server and have ITSM apps consuming ci's from this instance?  This 
might be farfetched but just a question...

I understand that one can have multiple app servers and split the components 
using the ranking and having an admin server that process the reconciliation 
doing the hard work.

Hi Francois,

  Atrium Core is a collection of multiple services / products - so I can't 
really answer the question as phrased.  Can you point to the documentation that 
stated that the service you're thinking of needed to be on the same AR System 
server as ITSM in Atrium Core 7.6.04?  Perhaps from that we can determine what 
service you're referring to and if things have changed in the 8.0.00 
documentation.

  Or you could look through the 8.0.00 documentation on your own to see if you 
can find the answer:  https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/ac80/Home

8.0.00 isn't really much different than 7.6.04 in terms of architecture or

Re: sizing requirements 8.0 -- how to get

2012-11-30 Thread Mueller, Doug
Francois,

So, in this case, you are talking about the Atrium CMDB.  Note that the CMDB is 
just one of a number of
technologies that are Atrium.  There are things like Atrium Orchestrator and 
Atrium SSO and a number of
other products in addition.  The products other than the CMDB can be on 
separate systems without issue.

Now, we come back to the CMDB.

The CMDB that is being used by the ITSM applications must be on the same 
logical server instance as the
ITSM applications.  The CMDB that is being used by SRM must be on the same 
logical server instance as the
SRM application.  (However, the SRM application and the ITSM applications could 
be on separate logical
servers - but that is a different discussion.)

By logical server, the issue is a single DB instance that may have one or more 
AR System servers tied to it
in a server group.

Now, you can have some servers in a server group being used interactively 
(generally behind a load balancer)
and other server(s) that are not.  So, you could have a server that is 
dedicated to just the CMDB and all loading
of data and Normalization and Reconciliation would be to a dedicated AR System 
server instance with no one
else accessing it.  It would be to the same database.

You could go further if needed and have a set of servers tied to interactive 
use, CMDB data sources loading to
a separate server, reconciliation on yet another server, and normalization on 
still another server.  So, if you
need to, you could spread the work across many different dedicated servers.  We 
have never seen a
customer need to go this far to scale (and we have customers with 80+ MILLION 
records in their CMDB).  We
do have quite a number with a dedicated server to the CMDB to isolate the CMDB 
processing load from
interactive use.


Now, if you wanted to go a step further, you could have two CMDB instances in 
your environment.  And those
two instances could be on separate logical servers.

The first would be dedicated to the CMDB and have data loading and 
Normalization and Reconciliation and
whatever else the CMDB needs to do.

The second would have a CMDB with just a Production dataset.

You would use DSO or AI to load from the first systems production dataset to 
keep the production dataset
COPY on the system with ITSM fully up to date.

Now, this is the ultimate in scaling where the load of processing and preparing 
the CMDB is high so that you
want to completely isolate the processing at the DB level.  You are just 
copying the golden dataset to the
production system so the load there is dramatically reduced.

BUT, you do need the instance that the ITSM applications are using to be local 
to the ITSM applications.


I hope this helps to clarify what is possible with the system.  The 
architecture allows for scaling at many levels.
We do not have the option at this time of just direct remote access because 
that would require the two
independent system to be tied from an availability and data content perspective 
that is just difficult.

Think about relationships - they would tie an Incident on one system to a CI on 
another.  There is additional
load and complexity and performance and scale ramifications to these types of 
issues.

Re: OFFLIST - Incident Submitter and License terms - Dear BMC have you mislead us?

2012-11-30 Thread Jason
I'm actually all for not allowing submitters/end users to modify their 
incidents. Support techs don't re-read tickets. If somebody gets assigned an 
incident, reads it, then somebody modifies that ticket, how is the assignee 
supposed to know what was changed? At least forcing them to add work info 
updates adds a time stamp to their update. Something an assignee could see and 
know what information is new.

And yes, somebody will point out auditing. But that means the tech has to know 
something was changed, open the audit log, look at the new entries, and then 
look at previous entries to determine what the previous value was. And if you 
create a notification to the assignee? Well, that's just one more thing for 
their auto-delete rule.

Bottom line... The locked submitter mode is part of the Action Request System 
functionality. The ITSM apps are a different product and can't assume 
everything carries over. Exhibit B: 7.6.04 User Tool. 



Been one of those days.

Re: OFFLIST - Incident Submitter and License terms - Dear BMC have you mislead us?

2012-11-30 Thread Timothy Powell
The “tech doesn’t know what changed” argument I can actually work with. Makes 
some sense.

 

But the Submitter Mode Locked only applies to ARS….I don’t buy into that. 
That’s just playing word games at that point. VERY expensive word games….Either 
Submitter Mode Locked lets you modify your own records or it doesn’t.

I'm actually all for not allowing submitters/end users to modify their 
incidents. Support techs don't re-read tickets. If somebody gets assigned an 
incident, reads it, then somebody modifies that ticket, how is the assignee 
supposed to know what was changed? At least forcing them to add work info 
updates adds a time stamp to their update. Something an assignee could see and 
know what information is new.

 

And yes, somebody will point out auditing. But that means the tech has to know 
something was changed, open the audit log, look at the new entries, and then 
look at previous entries to determine what the previous value was. And if you 
create a notification to the assignee? Well, that's just one more thing for 
their auto-delete rule.

 

Bottom line... The locked submitter mode is part of the Action Request System 
functionality. The ITSM apps are a different product and can't assume 
everything carries over. Exhibit B: 7.6.04 User Tool. 

 

 

Been one of those days.

And I will venture on to say that I understand that there are some application 
Role dynamics in play here. Not allowing a DIFFERENT user to make mods to a 
ticket that’s not theirs or where they are not a member of the assignee/owner 
group is completely understandable. But I am still confused on the business 
logic behind not allowing a user to update their own ticket beyond work info 
entries (which of course is really a separate submit).

I did a search of this year’s listings before I asked this question, so I 
apologize if I missed a thread and am dragging up an old subject. I did see 
some similar discussions, but nothing specific to this.

 

BMC/Remedy has always promoted the fact that if the server was set to Submitter 
Mode-Locked (SML) that any user could submit and modify their own records 
(where $USER$ = Submitter Field ID 2). In ITSM 7.6.04, that level of permission 
equates to Incident Submitter.

 

So I have a user that is set up as Incident Submitter with a Read license 
attached to that role and a Read AR license. The user can submit tickets BUT 
cannot modify their own incident tickets (where $USER$ = Submitter Field ID 2). 
There is actually workflow in place to prevent this. In order for them to 
modify their own record, I have to bump that user up to Incident User level, 
which then requires a Fixed or Floating license.

 

So my question is: Is that not in conflict with one of the major sales 
arguments BMC made to our organizations, that being our users could submit and 
modify their own records without a Fixed or Floating license?
