Re: Great...ANOTHER BUG

2013-03-28 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

I have seen this, and it actually does this with integer fields as well if I
recall right... It just grabs any odd selection field value and puts it there.
And it is not only Menus.

The solution, if I recall, is to change it from Yes to 0 right before you
save it. This will store your thing correctly, and it will work. But if you
want to update it you have to redo the step :-(

 You can import them but you can't edit them.  I've run into this before
 when my menu was based on a selection value.

 In the end, I just edited the def file directly and imported the menu.  XML
 def files are easier to understand if you haven't done it before.

 Just to be clear (I hope)

 You have a field on a form (call it FormA) you want to put a menu on.
  You want that menu to be dynamic based on another field (100099) on
 FormA

 Is the data for the menu also on FormA or on another form FormB?
 If the data is on FormB:
Does FormB also have a field 100099?  And if so, is it the same as
 the field on FormA?


 Another possible thing I can think of...  Is the selection values and the
 alias values the same for the selection field (100099)?

 Well,
 You can't create dynamic menus in the new developer studio.
 If you have a selection field you want to use in a menu in a dynamic
 fashion, you can't.
 If field 100099 is a selection field with 4 values:
 Hello (0)
 World (1)
 Today (2)
 Tomorrow (3)
 Then in the menu if you type $ 100099$ = 0
 Developer studio changes that to $ 100099$ = Yes
 Which results in the  error:
 Incompatible data types for intended relational operation. (ARERR 313)

 Thanks BMC, what an astronomical step backwards.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: (Noob alert!) Cheat sheets? Remedy 7.6.04 for Dummies?

2013-03-28 Thread Pierson, Shawn
Your best bet is probably to go with an actual reporting tool.  BMC sales folks 
would suggest BMC Analytics to you, and while I also like it, it's not the 
cheapest option out there.  We use it to give users a drag and drop web 
interface to create reports (basically everything is linked together behind the 
scenes, so you can easily build a report showing Change Requests that have 
related Caused By Incidents.)  We also use it to schedule reports to go out 
automatically on a schedule.  I think it's probably the best option for 
reporting out of ITSM, but you will probably get some cheaper options presented 
to you here that would work about as well.  Either way, I wouldn't continue 
with exporting to CSV and manipulating the data manually.  Remedy uses a 
database, so reports should be able to leverage that instead.

My mistake, we're in 7.5.00 Patch 004, and though we have the browser option, 
my staff is using the desktop client.  All my documentation is for 7.6, so I 
thought that's what we had running.

Let me clarify what I'm looking for...

When I want to produce performance reports, I search for incidents my staff has 
created, export them to *.csv and filter the results.   I'd love to run a 
report that shows how many tickets were created and by whom without the manual 
processing of data.

What I don't currently have is a way to measure SLA Breach type by agent, or 
the time between updates (all update times, not only last one).

Are there easier ways of getting this information, or what are some best 
practices out there to work with what I have in order to get what I need?

Ummm...If we are talking about ITSM as your application for working tickets, it 
doesn't work with the native desktop client anymore once you get somewhere 
around version 7.5ish.  We run ITSM 7.6.04 SP2 at our site, and I know our user 
community *has to* use a browser to work their tickets, though we on the 
development team still use the desktop client for certain tasks.  Or are you 
talking about a partially customized app other than ITSM running on AR System 
Server 7.6.04? (It's not like BMC makes these questions especially easy to 
answer... :\ )

I'm still feeling a bit vague about what you need.  Would you say that there 
are cases where you are having difficulty making sense of your data?  Or is it 
more a case that are you struggling over what the right questions are to even 
be asking?  Each of those questions has different answers, and if I can, I'd

In addition to call handling metrics, I evaluate performance based on Created

days (we get a large volume of 'request' tickets), and Updating Tickets within 
14 days.  This last one is quite a challenge to find without running the search

each month.

Good morning,

I'm attempting to find out if there is an easier way for users to locate Tasks 
in Remedy.  One of the issues we are dealing with is how they are not really 
visible anywhere except for the Overview Console.  Additionally, it's difficult 
to do a search for Tasks.  For example, let me compare doing a search on 
Incidents versus Tasks:

INCIDENT SEARCH:
1)  From the Home Page, click on the Applications flyout menu.
2)  Select Incident Management  Search Incident

TASK SEARCH:
1)  From the Home Page, click on the Applications flyout menu.
2)  Select Foundation Elements  Overview Console.
3)  Click the Search For Ticket link at the top right of the table field.
4)  Scroll to the bottom of the menu on the Request Type field and select 
Task.
5)  Click the Select button.

I've thought of just creating at least one entry point to take users directly 
to the search screen for Tasks to resolve this, but I really shouldn't have to 
do it.  I'm planning on replacing  the entire Home Page with a custom one since 
it doesn't provide useful information on Change Requests or Tasks in terms of 
scheduled dates and other data.  Another fix for my users will be solved by the 
migration to 8, where they restored the Tasks to a tab on Incidents since some 
portion of my users leverage Tasks on Incidents.

How has your organization dealt with making Tasks easier to find and more 
visible?

IE8 Session Handling and Multiple Login Issue

2013-03-28 Thread D Dussie
Good Morning List,

MT:7.5P5 on Websphere 6.1 all 32 bits. 
ARS: 7.5P5 on AIX 6.1.7 on 11g
(We are in process of upgrading to 7.6.04 SP4 on test)

Win7/Xp - On IE8, all windows opened share the same session. Unless start new 
session/ cmd: iexplore.exe -nomerge.

We have a survey, that is emailed to Customers. This email uses a its generic 
id to login and bring up the survey form; overall multiple log in. 

Issue Scenarios:

1. Open IE (1st session), login into midtier. If users clicks on survey, its 
trys to launch in the 1st Session IE and fail. 
ARERR [9361] - A current session exists for a different user 

2. Open IE (1st session), login into midtier. Open IE (2nd session), (file new 
session or Cmd); assumed active session. Then users clicks on survey url/link, 
its trys to launch in the 1st Session IE and fail. (ARERR [9361] - A current 
session exists for a different user)   Therefore, click (mouse) launches 
all URL in 1st session.  
- Question: is there away to make the click action, open in last IE session?

3. Open IE (1st session), login into midtier. Open IE (2nd session), (file new 
session or Cmd); assumed active session. Then users copy/paste survey url/link 
into 2nd Session, works.

4. Open IE (1st session), don't login into midtier. Open IE (2nd session), 
login into midtier. Then users clicks on survey url/link, it launch in the 1st 
Session IE and works. 

- Question:  In the below, can the header be modified specifically to start in 
new session, there by passing the click action above?

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: (Noob alert!) Cheat sheets? Remedy 7.6.04 for Dummies?

2013-03-28 Thread Steve Kallestad
There is a reporting console that includes a series of out-of-the-box
reports that may include the information you are looking for.

The reports are Crystal Reports and can be exported to CSV for further
filtering, but the reporting console allows you to filter results before
the reports are generated.

BMC also offers a product called Analytics, which includes a more robust
set of reports and good set of functionality surrounding reporting .

As far as best practices goes I'm unaware of a common listing, but this is
the general ruleset I follow -

1) Don't come up with a list of 200 reports.  Instead, come up with common
reports that can be shared and allow end users to ignore/hide extra data
columns

2) Generate reports during off-hours and automatically distribute them

3) Distribute via a common repository, whether it's a web page listing
available downloads, a sharepoint repo, a shared directory, etc.

4) Determine what data is actually useful for a given enterprise / business
unit

5) Copy and modify existing reports rather than start from scratch.

6) Apply Consistent formatting.

7) Take steps to ensure reporting doesn't influence end user activity in a
negative way.

8) Comparisons of numbers between last week / last month / last year can be
extraordinarily helpful for resource planning.

9) Understand performance ramifications and develop reports against a
non-production system.

-
As far as SLA Breaches by agent goes - there are a series of SLA / SLM
reports and I'm pretty sure you can adjust the queries by the Assigned To
individual or limit the reports to a particular group.

There are also out of the box reports that address questions of ticket
volume.

Time between updates can be tricky, but there is a lot of existing data and
functionality in the system to work with to obtain that information
(including leveraging SLM to track it and leveraging out of the box SLM
reports)

 know our user community **has to** use a browser to work their tickets,
 though we on the development team still use the desktop client for certain
 tasks.  Or are you talking about a partially customized app other than ITSM
 running on AR System Server 7.6.04? (It’s not like BMC makes these
 questions especially easy to answer… :\ )

 I’m still feeling a bit vague about what you need.  Would you say that
 there are cases where you are having difficulty making sense of your data?
 Or is it more a case that are you struggling over what the right questions
 are to even be asking?  Each of those questions has different answers, and
 if I can, I’d like to provide one that’s reasonably helpful.

Asset Management: Setting up leases

2013-03-28 Thread Wong, Kris
Hello,



I thought I would reach out to this group to see if someone has a
procedure or a way to make a standard lease within Remedy (7.6).



I am trying to build out a standard operating Lease for 36 months.   I
cannot for the life of me create a monthly schedule of payments, without
manually adding all 36 months for payments... There's got to be a better
way than adding 36 payment entries.

Re: How to search for Tasks

2013-03-28 Thread Pierson, Shawn
Did you run into any errors when they save that object to their customizable 
home page?  I tried the same thing, and it worked fine until someone tried to 
save it to their default things that come up.  The next time they log in, they 
get some weird scripting errors.  Unfortunately BMC support was no help when we 
opened a ticket on the issue because AR System code shouldn't generate 
non-Remedy errors.

Subject: How to search for Tasks

**
Good morning,

I'm attempting to find out if there is an easier way for users to locate Tasks 
in Remedy.  One of the issues we are dealing with is how they are not really 
visible anywhere except for the Overview Console.  Additionally, it's difficult 
to do a search for Tasks.  For example, let me compare doing a search on 
Incidents versus Tasks:

INCIDENT SEARCH:
1)  From the Home Page, click on the Applications flyout menu.
2)  Select Incident Management  Search Incident

TASK SEARCH:
1)  From the Home Page, click on the Applications flyout menu.
2)  Select Foundation Elements  Overview Console.
3)  Click the Search For Ticket link at the top right of the table field.
4)  Scroll to the bottom of the menu on the Request Type field and select 
Task.
5)  Click the Select button.

I've thought of just creating at least one entry point to take users directly 
to the search screen for Tasks to resolve this, but I really shouldn't have to 
do it.  I'm planning on replacing  the entire Home Page with a custom one since 
it doesn't provide useful information on Change Requests or Tasks in terms of 
scheduled dates and other data.  Another fix for my users will be solved by the 
migration to 8, where they restored the Tasks to a tab on Incidents since some 
portion of my users leverage Tasks on Incidents.

How has your organization dealt with making Tasks easier to find and more 
visible?

Thanks,

Re: IE8 Session Handling and Multiple Login Issue

2013-03-28 Thread D Dussie
Additional info,

Good Morning List,

MT:7.5P5 on Websphere 6.1 all 32 bits. 
ARS: 7.5P5 on AIX 6.1.7 on 11g
(We are in process of upgrading to 7.6.04 SP4 on test)

Win7/Xp - On IE8, all windows opened share the same session. Unless start new 
session/ cmd: iexplore.exe -nomerge.

We have a survey, that is emailed to Customers. This email uses a its generic 
id to login and bring up the survey form; overall multiple log in. 

No. of Remedy Users: 1300.
No. of Customers: 15,000. 
So this issues only affects 1300 people, 9%. Even thought not a lot - politics.

Issue Scenarios:

1. Open IE (1st session), login into midtier. If users clicks on survey, its 
trys to launch in the 1st Session IE and fail. 
ARERR [9361] - A current session exists for a different user 

2. Open IE (1st session), login into midtier. Open IE (2nd session), (file new 
session or Cmd); assumed active session. Then users clicks on survey url/link, 
its trys to launch in the 1st Session IE and fail. (ARERR [9361] - A current 
session exists for a different user)   Therefore, click (mouse) launches 
all URL in 1st session.  
- Question: is there away to make the click action, open in last IE session?

3. Open IE (1st session), login into midtier. Open IE (2nd session), (file new 
session or Cmd); assumed active session. Then users copy/paste survey url/link 
into 2nd Session, works.

4. Open IE (1st session), don't login into midtier. Open IE (2nd session), 
login into midtier. Then users clicks on survey url/link, it launch in the 1st 
Session IE and works. 

- Question:  In the below, can the header be modified specifically to start in 
new session, there by passing the click action above?

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: (Noob alert!) Cheat sheets? Remedy 7.6.04 for Dummies?

2013-03-28 Thread Stroud, Natalie K
Lorraine:

I do have a couple of things I'd add in addition to what Steve said.

I'm assuming use of Analytics here, but say you have a standard report that 
pulls tickets that were resolved last month.  You'll have a query that pulls 
that information in.  Have several tabs in which you slice and dice that data 
every which way.  At our site, folks want to see this data sorted in the 
following ways:

· by Incident ID

· by Assigned Group

· by Assignee

· by Assigned Group then by Assignee

· by Priority

· by Service Type

· by Prod Cat

· by SLM (which equates to by Assigned Group then by Service Type then 
by whether it met or breached the SLA service target, which is a value we have 
to calculate manually in Analytics)

· by SLM then by Priority (which is sorted by Assigned Group then by 
Priority then by whether it met the response and resolution service targets).

Per Steve's tip in #1 below, they can ignore any of those tabs or columns on 
those tabs that they don't want to see.

Another thing we do with our core set of Analytics reports is create one 
version that has a prompt for Assigned Group only and in which we hard-code the 
query to pull the data for a set date range, say the previous month.  Then we 
create a second, ad-hoc version of the report which is has a prompt for both 
Assigned Group and Resolved date range, though you could create a prompt for 
any frequently requested variation.  So if they come back and say, Our monthly 
report is nice, but we'd like to see this data for the last 6 months we just 
pull up the ad-hoc report, set a schedule to run Now, plug in the Support 
Group(s) and dates they want, and ba-da-bing, we can give them a variation on 
their standard report within minutes.

Good luck!

** There is a reporting console that includes a series of out-of-the-box 
reports that may include the information you are looking for.

The reports are Crystal Reports and can be exported to CSV for further 
filtering, but the reporting console allows you to filter results before the 
reports are generated.

BMC also offers a product called Analytics, which includes a more robust set of 
reports and good set of functionality surrounding reporting .

As far as best practices goes I'm unaware of a common listing, but this is the 
general ruleset I follow -

1) Don't come up with a list of 200 reports.  Instead, come up with common 
reports that can be shared and allow end users to ignore/hide extra data columns

2) Generate reports during off-hours and automatically distribute them

3) Distribute via a common repository, whether it's a web page listing 
available downloads, a sharepoint repo, a shared directory, etc.

4) Determine what data is actually useful for a given enterprise / business unit

5) Copy and modify existing reports rather than start from scratch.

6) Apply Consistent formatting.

7) Take steps to ensure reporting doesn't influence end user activity in a 
negative way.

8) Comparisons of numbers between last week / last month / last year can be 
extraordinarily helpful for resource planning.

9) Understand performance ramifications and develop reports against a 
non-production system.

-
As far as SLA Breaches by agent goes - there are a series of SLA / SLM reports 
and I'm pretty sure you can adjust the queries by the Assigned To individual or 
limit the reports to a particular group.

There are also out of the box reports that address questions of ticket volume.

Time between updates can be tricky, but there is a lot of existing data and 
functionality in the system to work with to obtain that information (including 
leveraging SLM to track it and leveraging out of the box SLM reports)

Ok,
Its in ITSM 7.6
Here's the menu: CFG:PRC:CategoryHPD-T1-Q
Its attached to the Help Desk form (the Generic Categorization Tier 1 field).
The menu references form CFG:GenericCompanyModuleLookUp
Field $100099$ is the Incident Type* field on the Help Desk form.

Open the menu and add the following to it:
And ($100099$ = 0)
Save, re-open the menu, and suddenly ($100099$ = 0)
 is now:
($100099$ = Yes) 
I tried what Misi suggested below as well as re-importing them from my old 7.1 
environment.
Neither of those ideas worked (thanks for the suggestions though)
I've even tried putting in the actual string values from the Incident Type* 
field in the menu, and still get the same error.

I ended up doing this to work around the developer studio issue.
(($100099$ != 1) AND ($100099$ != 2) AND ($100099$ != 3) AND 
($100099$ != $NULL$))

Hi,

I have seen this, and it actually does this with integer fields as well if I 
recall right... It just grabs any odd selection field value and puts it there.
And it is not only Menus.

The solution, if I recall, is to change it from Yes to 0 right before you 
save it. This will store your thing correctly, and it will work. But if you 
want to update it you have to redo the step :-(

 You can import them but you can't edit them.  I've run into this 
 before when my menu was based on a selection value.

 In the end, I just edited the def file directly and imported the menu.

 Well,
 You can't create dynamic menus in the new developer studio.
 If you have a selection field you want to use in a menu in a dynamic 
 fashion, you can't.
 If field 100099 is a selection field with 4 values:
 Hello (0)
 World (1)
 Today (2)
 Tomorrow (3)
 Then in the menu if you type $ 100099$ = 0 Developer studio 
 changes that to $ 100099$ = Yes
 Which results in the  error:
 Incompatible data types for intended relational operation. (ARERR

Hi All,

Just have a quick question. Do the agreements  service targets in the Customer 
Folder take precedence over the agreements  service targets in the Standard 
Service  folder?

I need to have a generic SLA that would apply to most customers and 
occasionally a SLA specific to a single customer. The hope is I don't have to 
set up specific SLA's for each customer or use one qualification like 
'Customer' != A AND 'Customer' != H AND 'Customer' != Y and another 
'Customer' = A to separate out the targets/

report is nice, but we'd like to see this data for the last 6 months we just 
pull up the ad-hoc report, set a schedule to run Now, plug in the Support 
Group(s) and dates they want, and ba-da-bing, we can give them a variation on 
their standard report within minutes.

** There is a reporting console that includes a series of out-of-the-box 
reports that may include the information you are looking for.

The reports are Crystal Reports and can be exported to CSV for further 
filtering, but the reporting console allows you to filter results before the 
reports are generated.

BMC also offers a product called Analytics, which includes a more robust set of 
reports and good set of functionality surrounding reporting .

As far as best practices goes I'm unaware of a common listing, but this is the 
general ruleset I follow -

1) Don't come up with a list of 200 reports.  Instead, come up with common 
reports that can be shared and allow end users to ignore/hide extra data columns

2) Generate reports during off-hours and automatically distribute them

3) Distribute via a common repository, whether it's a web page listing 
available downloads, a sharepoint repo, a shared directory, etc.

4) Determine what data is actually useful for a given enterprise / business unit

5) Copy and modify existing reports rather than start from scratch.

6) Apply Consistent formatting.

7) Take steps to ensure reporting doesn't influence end user activity in a 
negative way.

8) Comparisons of numbers between last week / last month / last year can be 
extraordinarily helpful for resource planning.

9) Understand performance ramifications and develop reports against a 
non-production system.

-
As far as SLA Breaches by agent goes - there are a series of SLA / SLM reports 
and I'm pretty sure you can adjust the queries by the Assigned To individual or 
limit the reports to a particular group.

There are also out of the box reports that address questions of ticket volume.

Time between updates can be tricky, but there is a lot of existing data and 
functionality in the system to work with to obtain that information (including 
leveraging SLM to track it and leveraging out of the box SLM reports)

I need to have a generic SLA that would apply to most customers and

Re: AREA LDAP 8.0 Configuration Issue

2013-03-28 Thread Kapil Banwari
If you are using CRBP(Cross Ref Blank password)= True, and you have mainly
AR groups (not specific AD groups) which you need to use, make sure in AREA
LDAP configuration form, in the License Mask and in the Write license (under
Defaults and Mapping attributes to user information), you don't have any
value mentioned over there. 

If it is blank, it is going to pick the licenses from User form, and you
should get token as per mentioned in user form.

If there is no specific reason to use chaining mode, it can be set to off,
as by default it is set to first go to ARS and then to AREA. If you are
using any sso plugin, then in those cases chaining is usually helpful and
enabled. 

By default, the way it works with chaining disabled is, first it go to user
form, it will check if that user exists in user form, and if that user have
blank password in user form (with CRBP=true) and then it will authenticate
via the password of AD . 

Hope this helps. 

Regards
Kapil B.

Hi,

When you open it, it will say Yes but the stored value is 0. And it works.
As long as you do not need to re-save the object, in which case you have to
replace Yes with 0 again...

 Ok,
 Its in ITSM 7.6
 Here's the menu: CFG:PRC:CategoryHPD-T1-Q
 Its attached to the Help Desk form (the Generic Categorization Tier 1 field).
 The menu references form CFG:GenericCompanyModuleLookUp
 Field $100099$ is the Incident Type* field on the Help Desk form.

 Open the menu and add the following to it:
 And ($100099$ = 0)
 Save, re-open the menu, and suddenly ($100099$ = 0)
  is now:
 ($100099$ = Yes)
 I tried what Misi suggested below as well as re-importing them from my old 7.1
 environment.
 Neither of those ideas worked (thanks for the suggestions though)
 I've even tried putting in the actual string values from the Incident Type*
 field in the menu, and still get the same error.

 I ended up doing this to work around the developer studio issue.
 (($100099$ != 1) AND ($100099$ != 2) AND ($100099$ != 3) AND
 ($100099$ != $NULL$))

 Hi,

 I have seen this, and it actually does this with integer fields as well if I
 recall right... It just grabs any odd selection field value and puts it there.
 And it is not only Menus.

 The solution, if I recall, is to change it from Yes to 0 right before you
 save it. This will store your thing correctly, and it will work. But if you
 want to update it you have to redo the step :-(

 You can import them but you can't edit them.  I've run into this
 before when my menu was based on a selection value.

 In the end, I just edited the def file directly and imported the menu.

 Well,
 You can't create dynamic menus in the new developer studio.
 If you have a selection field you want to use in a menu in a dynamic

 If field 100099 is a selection field with 4 values:
 Hello (0)
 World (1)
 Today (2)
 Tomorrow (3)
 Then in the menu if you type $ 100099$ = 0 Developer studio
 changes that to $ 100099$ = Yes
 Which results in the  error:

Re: SLM Hierarchy

2013-03-28 Thread Carl Wilson
Hi,

Unfortunately yes.  

However, I have seen a number of customers that build a Pre SLA engine
that uses keywords in the Terms and Conditions to evaluate the attachment
SLA.  This is a customisation where you push a keyword to a field on the
form that you can referencing in the qualification for the Terms and
Conditions - this can also be a lookup table for the keyword (have seen
this also).  

This eliminates the need to build SLA's for each customer as you can
reference these fields in the Terms and Conditions based on a lookup/table.

 

The SLM module is effectively a Workflow Engine, so there are workarounds
and endless possibilities if you configure/customise as required.

** 

Hi All,

 

Just have a quick question. Do the agreements  service targets in the
Customer Folder take precedence over the agreements  service targets in the
Standard Service  folder?

 

I need to have a generic SLA that would apply to most customers and
occasionally a SLA specific to a single customer. The hope is I don't have
to set up specific SLA's for each customer or use one qualification like
'Customer' != A AND 'Customer' != H AND 'Customer' != Y and another
'Customer' = A to separate out the targets/

 

Thanks

Mark

Re: Using Struct Admin in Dev Studio

2013-03-28 Thread Jason Miller
That is what I am looking for.  I want to give a developer access to code
but not be an admin giving them access to all data and be able to change
server config.  I believe Struct Admin is what I am looking for but can't
figure out why Dev Studio says the user I am testing with needs to be an
Administrator.

 ** Jason,
 If I remember correctly, strict admin lets you modify the structure (dev
 studio), but is not a data permission

  This is the first time I have tried to limit an account's access using
 Struct Admin permissions.  Am I reading this correctly that before this
 will work I need to modify out of the box AR form permissions?
 https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/ars81/Struct+Admin+group+permissions
 
  I created a user record and gave it only the Struct Admin group (8) and
 get the following when I try to open the forms Object List in Dev Studio.
  Unable to retrieve Forms from servername.
  com.bmc.arsys.studio.model.ModelException: ERROR (304): Must have
 Administrative permission to perform this operation; (ARERR 5087)
 
  Has anybody else had success with Struct Admin?
  Thanks,
  Jason

Re: RQC:ConsoleWizrd Error

2013-03-28 Thread Abdullah Baytops
Thats exactly what I was thinking . If the plugins did not load during the 
install is there another way to reinstall those plugins.  Also what specific 
plug should I have that may be missing in a linux environment.

Yo...you may want to verify that all of your plugins are running...it sounds 
like they may not be...

How have you been?

Re: RQC:ConsoleWizrd Error

2013-03-28 Thread Karthik
Did you check srm:request to see if there are any event errors?

If you had plugin issues, entry in cai:events form should have shown an
error right? Which again should have circulated back to srm:request?

Regards,
Karthik
