Re: 8.1 ITSM Installation failed

2013-04-15 Thread Bhadoria, Ripu
Installation can't fail due to the benign error pasted below. Please check the 
ITSM install log to find out the actual reason of failure. You will find the 
log in the temp directory of your machine.

You may like to share the install log with us.

By the time I would suggest you cancel the current installation and try again 
after cleaning up your temp space.

Thanks,

Upgrade from ARS7.5 to ARS 8.1

2013-04-15 Thread Vikrant
hi All,

We have one situation that we ran ourself into. We have production environment 
on ARS 7.5 P4 + ITSM 7.6 P1. In the process to come up with an upgrade process 
to ARS and ITSM 8.1 we want to try the upgrade on one of the AR Servers 
avaliable to us which is ARS 7604 SP 2 + ITSM 7.6 server. (First of all how 
does this work overlays)

Our idea was to move all the custom code and integerations to the new test 
server which runs the 7604 SP2 along with ITSM 7.6 and then upgrade it to 8.1 
stack. But here is my problem how do I move my customizations from ARS 7.5 P4 
environment to ARS 7604 enviornemt before we try to upgrade. This in respect of 
creation of overlays at the test server.

One solution that I can see is to downgrade the new test server to ARS 7.5 P4 + 
ITSM 7.6 just as our current production server and move the customization 
before we run the upgrade to ARS 8.1. Is ther any way we can avoid the 
downgrade? and is downgrade possible from an overlay friendly server to a 
overlay unaware server?

Thanks,
Vikrant

Re: Upgrade from ARS7.5 to ARS 8.1

2013-04-15 Thread Hullule, Kiran

Please refer 7604 Upgrade Procedure Guide, this talks about upgrade procedures 
from non overlay aware environment to overlay environment. Also pay attention 
to this topic:   Chapter 6 Best Practice Conversion Utility
This will take care of your custom codes and you don’t have to worry about your 
customization during an upgrade.

Note: Have a backup in place before you start your upgrade.

Re: When is a Floating Application License Consumed

2013-04-15 Thread Longwing, Lj
I doubt that you will be able to get it on anything other than
8.1the decision of if a license is consumed or not is likely heavily
inside the Remedy code...and it's not likely that they will backport that
code to a prior versionbut of course...that's entirely up to them if
they want to do that sort of thing in a service pack or something.

 Everyone,

  

 One more follow-up to my previous message that was explaining when
 licenses are obtained to try and

 address some questions that have come up.

  

 The model of licensing

  

 A user is assigned the potential for a particular type of license – Read,
 Restricted Read, Floating Write or Fixed

 Write.  Each of these types of licenses have specific capabilities and
 restrictions.

  

 When a user accesses the system WITHOUT accessing data, they will get a
 Read license assigned to them

 and their potential license is still potential because they have done
 nothing on the system yet.

  

 When a user performs any data access within the scope of their license
 (any form for AR System licenses and

 forms licensed for the application for Application licenses), their
 potential license is obtained for this session.

 Now, if their potential license is a Read, Restricted Read, or Fixed
 license, this is not really an event because

 those types of licenses are ALWAYS available.  If their potential license
 is a Floating Write license, this act

 of obtaining is significant because a token from a limited pool is
 obtained.

  

 Yes, the license is obtained at ANY data access.  That is because you have
 started work and you are licensed

 for that type of license so one is obtained for you so that you have no
 restrictions working within that type

 of license (otherwise you could for example fill out a bunch of data to
 modify something and then be

 refused at the save point because you could not obtain a token).

  

 The concept of no license needed for read is actually a rather unusual
 one.  Most products require that a

 user have a license to be able to enter the application at all.  For the
 AR System and BMC applications, you

 do not need a license to read or submit if that is all you are going to
 do.  Only if you are going to open and

 change and save something created by someone else do you need a write
 license.

  

 But, if you have a write license of some form, you will obtain that write
 license whenever you do any data

 access – including read – within the system.

  

  

 Overview console

  

 I tried to be very clear in my previous message.  It describes how
 obtaining a license works within the system

 and it details the specifics about what is happening.  It describes the
 issue with the Overview console and

 why a license is obtained.  This is true up through and including the
 current shipping product (8.0 as of this

 note).

  

 Now, I did call out that BMC has recognized that the fact that

Mid-tier reporting and Business Objects

Hello all,

We have an instance of Business Objects that is being used for the mid-tier 
reporting and ticket printing. Does anyone know if there's a way to determine 
how often the web reports are being used and by who? We're looking at a needed 
OS upgrade for the system this runs on which requires a BO upgrade to be 
compatible but if it's not or hardly used (suspected), we may just drop the 
capability.

Thanks again.

I've seen this happen a very long time ago, when I was using the AR System
as a root user and had changed to non-root, and some of the semaphores were
not gracefully shut down after shutting down the services as root. Then we
had to kill those and then start as the non-root user.

 

Have you done something similar? Changed the user that runs the services?

Another quote from Hawking:

I think computer viruses should count as life ... I think it says
something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so
far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Thanks Axton.

ok let me try this utility. However the Windows account Initially used for
the Installation of AR is deleted and there is another account by which AR
services getting restarted. I am not sure whether this will cause semaphore
errors.

BMC Chat support (My eService)

2013-04-15 Thread Hugo Ruesga
Listers;

 

As always looking for some wisdom here. I’ve a couple of
doubts about BMC Chat configuration but this is for version 7.6.04 of BMC Chat
known also as VChat or My eService VChat for Remedy. I’d tried to escalate my
doubts to BMC Support but seems they only officially recognize BMC Chat 8 as
supported version, for that reason I’m stuck at this point, tried to going to
My eService portal looking for some answers and directs me to BMC Site (however
there are a lot of inactive links on My eService portal).

 

Hope some of you had implemented VChat and could point me on
the right direction
Cheers

Re: Unable to create a semaphore. (ARERR 8742)

2013-04-15 Thread vaibhav wadekar
It appears to be related to a bug # SW00445924 - Cant release the the file
handles. You can track the Handles for arserver.exe (Task Manager, View 
Select Columns  Check for handles).

See if the handles count increasedecrease time to time or what is it when
the server got crashed.

Re: 8.1 ITSM Installation failed

2013-04-15 Thread vaibhav wadekar
Hello Prashant,

The command you showed is trying to get the application version from
SHARE:Application Properties

The *appinfo* subcommand sets and retrieves application property
information from the AR System form “SHR_Application_Properties”. This is a
composite RIK command with its own subcommands specified in *–o* command
line parameter. Each record in SHR_Application_Properties has the following
fields, which are accessible via RIK:



GUID – application GUID (normally this GUID is registered on appscentral
ARS server)

Name – application property name. Such as ‘version’, ‘name’, ‘installation
dir’ and so on

Value – application property value

Status – status of the property record. Can be “inactive” or “active” (or 0
and 1 in integer representation).


Open SHARE:Application_Properties and verify if any record exists for GUID
- KM00C04FA081BAkzXdRAKRHW5AtFIB.

Also let us know if this is the fresh install or you have attempted install
multiple times. To confirm whether the installer starts in Fresh mode or
upgrade mode, you can search for the keyword QTHEB and look what return
code it results - If it return Null value, that a indicates it started the
installer in fresh mode otherwise, if it returns any value, thats a
indicates of upgrade install. In case, it returns a value from previous
failed install, it wouldnt be a good practice to start the install again
unless clear the values from below


- ProductRegistry.xml for the failed application

- InstallConfiguration.xml

- SHARE:Application_Properties

In case of failure, please log a ticket with support and attached logs
captured within ITSM Log zipper.


Hope this helps.


Regards/Vaibhav

Re: SRM Issue

2013-04-15 Thread Parekar, Rahul
Is this something that users are able to view the attachment, but when they 
click on the attachment then nothing happens?  If this is the issue then there 
is a defect SW00440310 which might be applicable to your case.

SW00440310 - If anyone other than the requester adds the attachment to the work 
order then the requester is not able to open the attachment from the Request 
entry console.
