I hope this will help incase if you want to resolve the pending incidents. You 
can try using relationship tab. Go to the incident A which you want actually to 
resolve and relate all the pending incidents using original of type like 
below.  On resolving incident A, it will resolve all the pending incidents. But 
pls check your Filter API timeout. There is an unsaid constraint on the number 
of incidents to relate for resolving related incidents. I tried this in 7.1 for 
resolving 240 incidents but ends with Filter time out error.

Current request : incident A original of  related incident B

Pavan,

You can relate a pending incident with any incident. But I guess if you have 
related with one incident using original of / duplicate of, the same incident 
you can't relate with other one.  I just tried now and it resolved the related 
incident without any error.

Re: Oracle-Two-Task in Oracle LoadBalanced Oracle DB

2013-05-08 Thread Mayuresh Wagh
Hi Sonia,

How to do you connect to see both the DB instances? As far as connection is
concerned from the AR Side, AR will connect to single instance only.
However since this is load balanced if that particular instance is down,
then AR will retry the connection  connects to the other instance. This
will keep your ARS up  running without any issues.

Does that answer  your query?

 Now, in the ar.conf the parameter for Oracle-Two-Task is orcl.

 When I connect I get to see data from both the DB instances.

 How do I configure settings in ar.conf so that it connects to just one

Hello Sonia,

you should try add the following information for both server (ITSM764_125,
ITSM764_126) in the transname.ora file
ITSM764_125 =
  (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ARS7604)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
  (SID = ITSM764_125)
  (SERVER = DEDICATED)
)

and then you have to put individual information for server in ar.conf file
as

Server-Name: Your_Server_Name
Oracle-Two-Task: ITSM764_125

for both the machine your are trying to connect as in your case like
(ITSM764_125, ITSM764_126), then restart your server.
Before doing there activity take necessary back up of bothe transname.ora
and ar.conf file.

Sanjay

Re: [URGENT]Use Alter Table Alter Column on Remedy ARS

2013-05-08 Thread Grooms, Frederick W
You should never modify the tables directly.   What error are you receiving? 
(and if you turn on SQL Logs on the server you will see the actual SQL that is 
being executed)

As for the t vs T ... SQL Server is not case sensitive so that should not 
matter.

Guys,

Besides that this could be a really silly question. I'd like to check with all 
of the gurus here.

I need to increase the length of the RLS field on Remedy (ARS 7.0.01 patch 007) 
over a custom development, but when I do this on the Admin, It returns an SQL 
error, and field is not saved on the form.

I went further and find that this table on the properties for the ARSystem DB 
(SQL Server) the table is labeled as t instead of T, what makes me think that 
someone had already played with the form. Question here is: Will I broke more 
at DB if I modify this field by using alter table and alter column commands?

You have not mentioned in which version you are trying this.

In 7.1, you can use the menu item called Copy to new available under edit 
menu. It will copy all the details of the previously created incident and save 
it. But, this is a manual work.

There's an email attachment form - you can have an attachment field on the 
staging form and do a set fields when you submit the staging form;  you'll need 
the email ID... OR ... pass the email ID to the work info and do the set field 
right there.  That will avoid the redundancy (at least one) of the attachment 
being saved in the staging form (I'd also set up an escalation to remove the 
staging form after a couple days - but then this starts to sound like I've been 
there and done that).

Re: Email to ARS 7.6.04

2013-05-08 Thread Pierson, Shawn
You have to do a lookup on the AR System Email Association form, identify the 
email based on the Source ID2 field being equal to Unique Identifier field on 
AR System Email Messages.  Based on that, you can obtain the Destination ID of 
the attachment, then in another piece of workflow go to AR System Email 
Attachments match based on the Attachment ID field, and pull in the attachment.

I hope this gives you a good starting point.

information, it just holds what it needs to do the alerting and monitoring.  
Fortunately, SCCM does contain that information. :)

Using the tools you have indicated, I would do this using this approach:


1)  Use data from SCCM to feed your CMDB (basically your discovery source) 
using AIE or AI.  This will ensure you have the data in your CMDB.

2)  Setup monitoring on the hosts using SCOM

3)  Configure Orchestrator to catch those SCOM alerts that you are truly 
interested in.  Use the SCCM OIP to retrieve the information about the host you 
need to create the incident.  Using that data within Orchestrator, use the 
standard OOB Remedy web services to submit the incident within the same 
workflow you retrieved the data in.

The only variant on this would be to use a database query in the workflow to 
retrieve the detail data about the host instead of the SCCM OIP. And this would 
be only if for some reason the SCCM OIP did not provide the data you needed.  
These pieces of workflow are standard within the OOB Orchestrator environment.  
You will need to read up on the Orchestrator environment to build the workflow 
however.

Hopefully this is helpful.

But How would I get the data into remedy CMDB from SCOM.
Does SCOM has it's own database which contains all information about CI's (like 
server's etc) ?
First before integrating SCOM with Remedy we need to get synchronization 
between Remedy CMDB and SCOM as our requirement is that whenever any alert on 
any server comes, then the automatic incident opened in remedy should contain
all information about that server (like sever name, it's configuration ,etc.). 
How would I ensure that ?

I will try to see what could help me to integrate remedy with SCOM. The issue 
is that we do have a lincense for Orchestrator but we could not purchase any 
license for Integration packs or connectors from Keleverion so I am not sure we 
could use it or not :(

The only tools I could use is Systems center Operations Manager and System 
center Orchestrator.
Is this integration possible using these two ? And we have to use windows 2012 
and SCOM 2012 only :(

Please suggest.

This is something I may be looking at in the next year or two as well so I 
wanted to jump in and ask a question.  For other integrations leveraging web

That way I can dynamically change the data on the Template to affect what the 
Integration does, without needing to actually modify code.  Would that be an 
option in this case to make the integration easier?

We have Remedy and System Center.  We are currently upgrading to Orchestrator 
2012 along with all the other components (essentially System Center 2012).  
What you need for this to work (IMHO) is along with SCOM is Orchestrator and 
the Orchestrator Integration Pack (OIP) from Kelveriron and the OIP from 
Microsoft for SCOM.  You could roll your own Remedy OIP using queries and 
consume the remedy web service to submit the incident if so inclined.  This is 
what it appears the OIP from Kelveriron is doing, but that is from a cursory 
examination.  The plus side is that you don't have to put the client binaries 
on the Orchestrator server.  The integration pack that worked with Opalis (now 
known as Orchestrator) worked a little differently and frankly I think was much 
easier to use, but it doesn't work with Orchestrator.  The only real challenge 
I see with the Kelveriron OIP is mapping your data to the new Remedy incident.  
If you have a lot of fields it becomes tedious.  Use the SCOM OIP to catch the 
event, use the sql query to get your information about the host that is 
throwing the event and then submit using the Remedy OIP.  Not really all that 
difficult until you start getting the request to treat different hosts with 
unique behavior.

I'm working from memory on this solution, so I'd recommend allowing a few hours 
for other listers to comment on it -- just in case I'm forgetting something.  
I'd also recommend opening a support incident with BMC to verify the procedure 
before performing it.

If you have a development ARS server, you could export the form and related 
workflow from the production ARS server, and see if it will import into the 
development server.  If successful, then you could proceed with the following...


 1.  Stop the ARS services, back up your database, and start the ARS services
 2.  Export the data from the production form into an .arx file
 3.  Export the form and related workflow into a .def file
 4.  Delete the form
*   If a warning appears about join forms that depend on this form, then do 
not delete and cancel this procedure
*   If the delete fails (eg, ARS is unable to make SQL drop the table), 
then cancel this procedure, stop the ARS services, restore the database from 
backup, and start the services again
 5.  Import the form from the .def file into production
 6.  Import the data from the .arx file
 7.  Import the remaining workflow from the .def file


This procedure will re-create the form cleanly.

Guys,

Besides that this could be a really silly question. I'd like to check with all

I need to increase the length of the RLS field on Remedy (ARS 7.0.01 patch 007) 
over a custom development, but when I do this on the Admin, It returns an SQL 
error, and field is not saved on the form.

I went further and find that this table on the properties for the ARSystem DB

someone had already played with the form. Question here is: Will I broke more

Re: [URGENT]Use Alter Table Alter Column on Remedy ARS

2013-05-08 Thread Hugo Ruesga
Thanks for your replies.
Fred;
I'm aware that SQL is not case sensitive, however it must have something to do, 
since if I attempt to modify any existing field on the forms labeled as t 
instead of T, I received the SQL error. I turned on the SQL log, but couldn't 
find any specific message that could lead to determine if the query is failing. 
However new fields added to the form are available for modification. Really 
weird, for sure; also I recall do not modifying by SQL ARS table structure, 
however could find technical notes and it mentions the chance of use Alter 
table command. But only on DB2.
About the other chance mentioned by Phil, that could be the best approach, but 
I have the limitation about time, table has been there for 10 years, but don't 
know when it was modified, and data would take more than the time I had (last 
night i released a new WF on that form for setting rightly RLS field). However 
if it fails, I'd give a shot to recreate the form from the ground. Even I tried 
to import the DEV form, but it failed too. but guess I'll need to wait and give 
a try to Phil's recommendation.
Thanks for your response

Another thing to note with this -

You might not want very much workflow to fire on the initial action that brings 
the email in.  If there is an error in the submit process the entire thing will 
roll back and it's harder to troubleshoot.

When I've set this up in the past I actually push the emails in with an 
escalation.  Depending on how the emails are entered and what validation you 
are doing it makes troubleshooting easier.

Still, there's easily a case for doing it either way depending on your

AD: Data Import Suggestions

2013-05-08 Thread Ben Chernys
Meta-Update is the easiest way.  You can create as many records as you like
from the import (associations, relationships, etc).  You can validate the
data and reject records that you don't like - automatically creating a copy
of the file with only those rejected records in it.

 

All with no Remedy changes at all.  No staging forms, no AIE or AI jobs.  

 

The import in this presentation
http://softwaretoolhouse.com/product/SthMupd/2012-RUG-de.html  is more
complex than your needs and the Meta-Update development for it was about two
hours.  There are plenty of scripts available and these are no charge.

 

A trial license is free and dated, and gives you all the functionality of
the product, along with a Live Install WebEx presentation.

 

The Management Overview
http://www.softwaretoolhouse.com/product/SthMupd/mupd_mgmt_smry.html  is a
12 minute movie.

Re: Email to ARS 7.6.04

2013-05-08 Thread Pierson, Shawn
You bring up an excellent point about not using Filters on AR System Email 
Messages.  The escalation is exactly what I've done to get around those issues, 
because if the filters don't work, you don't even have a record in the AR 
System Email Messages form to verify that it came in at all.  In my custom 
email processing, I have an escalation that creates a record in an intermediate 
form, which then pulls in all the other relevant information and sets fields 
such as the ones below, then pushes it to the Incident Interface forms or 
wherever is appropriate.

Thanks,

Another thing to note with this -

You might not want very much workflow to fire on the initial action that brings 
the email in.  If there is an error in the submit process the entire thing will 
roll back and it's harder to troubleshoot.

When I've set this up in the past I actually push the emails in with an 
escalation.  Depending on how the emails are entered and what validation you 
are doing it makes troubleshooting easier.

Still, there's easily a case for doing it either way depending on your

You have to do a lookup on the AR System Email Association form, identify the 
email based on the Source ID2 field being equal to Unique Identifier field on 
AR System Email Messages.  Based on that, you can obtain the Destination ID of 
the attachment, then in another piece of workflow go to AR System Email 
Attachments match based on the Attachment ID field, and pull in the attachment.

I hope this gives you a good starting point.

Re: [URGENT]Use Alter Table Alter Column on Remedy ARS

I have had in the past, errors from the Admin tool about Views not being

Thanks for your replies.

Fred;

I'm aware that SQL is not case sensitive, however it must have something to do, 
since if I attempt to modify any existing field on the forms labeled as t 
instead of T, I received the SQL error. I turned on the SQL log, but couldn't 
find any specific message that could lead to determine if the query is failing. 
However new fields added to the form are available for modification. Really 
weird, for sure; also I recall do not modifying by SQL ARS table structure, 
however could find technical notes and it mentions the chance of use Alter 
table command. But only on DB2.

About the other chance mentioned by Phil, that could be the best approach, but 
I have the limitation about time, table has been there for 10 years, but don't 
know when it was modified, and data would take more than the time I had (last 
night i released a new WF on that form for setting rightly RLS field). However 
if it fails, I'd give a shot to recreate the form from the ground. Even I tried 
to import the DEV form, but it failed too. but guess I'll need to wait and give 
a try to Phil's recommendation.

I'm working from memory on this solution, so I'd recommend allowing a few hours 
for other listers to comment on it -- just in case I'm forgetting something.  
I'd also recommend opening a support incident with BMC to verify the procedure 
before performing it.
 
If you have a development ARS server, you could export the form and related 
workflow from the production ARS server, and see if it will import into the 
development server.  If successful, then you could proceed with the following...
 
1. Stop the ARS services, back up your database, and start the ARS services 
2. Export the data from the production form into an .arx file 
3. Export the form and related workflow into a .def file 
4. Delete the form 
1. If a warning appears about join forms that depend on this form, then do not 
delete and cancel this procedure 
2. If the delete fails (eg, ARS is unable to make SQL drop the table), then 
cancel this procedure, stop the ARS services, restore the database from backup, 
and start the services again
5. Import the form from the .def file into production 
6. Import the data from the .arx file 
7. Import the remaining workflow from the .def file
 
This procedure will re-create the form cleanly.
 
HTH,

Guys, 

Besides that this could be a really silly question. I'd like to check with all 
of the gurus here.

I need to increase the length of the RLS field on Remedy (ARS 7.0.01 patch 007) 
over a custom development, but when I do this on the Admin, It returns an SQL 
error, and field is not saved on the form.

I went further and find that this table on the properties for the ARSystem DB 
(SQL Server) the table is labeled as t instead of T, what makes me think that 
someone had already played with the form. Question here is: Will I broke more 
at DB if I modify this field by using alter table and alter column commands?

You can also run a filter on Submit/Merge from the AR System Email Messages
form.  The filter can be qualified on the 'From' or 'Subject' or others.
This filter does a push to the staging form.  Quick and simple.  Another
action in the filter could set the 'Status' or delete the original AR System
Email Messages record.

 

Just another option.  Have fun!

I also use the escalation method.  I have a filter that identifies that the 
email should be processed and simply pushes the incoming email to a staging 
form with a status of 'New'.  From there I have an escalation that runs every 2 
minutes which simply moves the status of anything 'New' to 'Processing'.  At 
the end of the workflow firing I am left with either a status of 'Rejected' or 
'Complete'.  If something is rejected it sends an email to the administrators 
and will appear in a console where they can review the data, make corrections 
and reprocess as needed.

Re: Email to ARS 7.6.04

2013-05-08 Thread Grooms, Frederick W
Instead of the escalation method I use a custom perl script that does nothing 
but change the status on a form.  I call it as a RunProcess action in a filter 
on submit of a record in the staging form when the Status = New. This allows me 
to run workflow Out of Process and not tie up an escalation thread.  I also 
don't have to wait on the escalator for my record to be processed.

I also use the escalation method.  I have a filter that identifies that the 
email should be processed and simply pushes the incoming email to a staging 
form with a status of 'New'.  From there I have an escalation that runs every 2 
minutes which simply moves the status of anything 'New' to 'Processing'.  At 
the end of the workflow firing I am left with either a status of 'Rejected' or 
'Complete'.  If something is rejected it sends an email to the administrators 
and will appear in a console where they can review the data, make corrections 
and reprocess as needed.

You can also run a filter on Submit/Merge from the AR System Email Messages 
form.  The filter can be qualified on the ‘From’ or ‘Subject’ or others.  This 
filter does a push to the staging form.  Quick and simple.  Another action in

Excellent indeed, we process our email for the set of intermediate tables every 
2-3 minutes via escalations. We are reading 67 different mailboxes and creating

You bring up an excellent point about not using Filters on AR System Email 
Messages.  The escalation is exactly what I’ve done to get around those issues, 
because if the filters don’t work, you don’t even have a record in the AR 
System Email Messages form to verify that it came in at all.  In my custom 
email processing, I have an escalation that creates a record in an intermediate 
form, which then pulls in all the other relevant information and sets fields 
such as the ones below, then pushes it to the Incident Interface forms or 
wherever is appropriate.

Another thing to note with this - 

You might not want very much workflow to fire on the initial action that brings 
the email in.  If there is an error in the submit process the entire thing will 
roll back and it's harder to troubleshoot. 

When I've set this up in the past I actually push the emails in with an 
escalation.  Depending on how the emails are entered and what validation you 
are doing it makes troubleshooting easier. 

Still, there's easily a case for doing it either way depending on your

You have to do a lookup on the AR System Email Association form, identify the 
email based on the Source ID2 field being equal to Unique Identifier field on 
AR System Email Messages.  Based on that, you can obtain the Destination ID of 
the attachment, then in another piece of workflow go to AR System Email 
Attachments match based on the Attachment ID field, and pull in the attachment. 

I hope this gives you a good starting point.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the solution.
However, Please help me understand more on this Use data from SCCM to feed

1.  Is SCCM is similar in anyway to Remedy CMDB ?
2. Which data from SCCM I have to put into Remedy CMDB?
3. would I be able to keep both SCCM and CMDB data in sync ?
4. Could SCCM also provide us the information about all related componenets
that CMDB is capable of ?

 Orchestrator, use the standard OOB Remedy web services to submit the
 incident within the same workflow you retrieved the data in.

 The only variant on this would be to use a database query in the workflow
 to retrieve the detail data about the host instead of the SCCM OIP. And
 this would be only if for some reason the SCCM OIP did not provide the data
 you needed.  These pieces of workflow are standard within the OOB
 Orchestrator environment.  You will need to read up on the Orchestrator
 environment to build the workflow however.

 But How would I get the data into remedy CMDB from SCOM.

 Does SCOM has it's own database which contains all information about CI's

 First before integrating SCOM with Remedy we need to get synchronization
 between Remedy CMDB and SCOM as our requirement is that whenever any alert
 on any server comes, then the automatic incident opened in remedy should
 contain
 all information about that server (like sever name, it's configuration
 ,etc.). *How would I ensure that ?*

  

 I will try to see what could help me to integrate remedy with SCOM. The
 issue is that we do have a lincense for Orchestrator but we could not
 purchase any license for Integration packs or connectors from Keleverion so
 I am not sure we could use it or not :(

If you turn on logging in the User Preferences form (then Log out and back in) 
you can get a popup web browser form showing the workflow (and this will show

Re: Remedy Integration with SCOM

2013-05-08 Thread Jim Coryat (jcoryat)
The first thing to consider is if your Remedy CMDB is being populated from a 
discovery source?  What you have to know is if the Remedy CMDB is already 
populated with the detail data that you need for your incidents.  Best practice 
would be to have your CMDB updated with current information, what I call 
discovery.  If you have a basic discovery process or procedure and you feel 
all your CI's are in the CMDB, then you may only need to do what I call 
enrichment which is adding specific data from other external sources that is 
not being populated by your discovery process.  So in short you need to have 
your house in order with respect to your Remedy CMDB before you start inserting 
incidents and want to leverage additional information on the incident.  If it 
was me, I would associate the affected CI to the incident when you do the 
submission through Orchestrator.  You could also provide this detail in the 
description on the incident and forgo the association to the CI, but that would 
not provide the full picture.  The other ITSM modules leverage incidents and 
associated CI's to perform to their full capacity and provide the value from 
your investment.

To answer your questions:

1.  It can be considered similar, M$ has another product in the System 
Center suite that provides similar functionality as Remedy Incident called 
System Center Service Manager.  However it does not measure up to the 
functionality offered by the BMC ITSM suite of applications at this time.

2.  As I mentioned above, if all the data you need is in the CMDB already, 
then nothing is required here.  If not, then you need to have an external 
process synchronizing the data.  You could potentially do this during the 
incident creation so that when the incident is created, the CI is current at 
the time of submission.  However, this would be a significant effort.  You will 
need to get specific metrics on the timeliness of this requirement before you 
can ever hope to fulfill it.

3.  This is a very broad question.  SCCM is a system management tool.  It 
pulls its information from the hosts that have the client installed.  The 
direction of synchronization would be from SCCM into the CMDB.  One direction 
only.  This would involve an understanding of the reconciliation process within 
Remedy as well as an understanding of where the attributes source of truth is 
to do this correctly.

4.  Yes this is possible, this would take multiple mappings of the data 
within SCCM to the CI classes and the relationships between those classes.  If 
there is off the shelf software to do this, you would be well advised to 
investigate it.  This can be a big job, depending on how much detail you want 
in your CMDB from your discovery data.

Does this make it clearer?

3. would I be able to keep both SCCM and CMDB data in sync ?
4. Could SCCM also provide us the information about all related componenets 
that CMDB is capable of ?

Please suggest.
Thanks  Regards,
anup

SCOM does have a list of  the hosts that it is monitoring.  When you install 
the SCOM agent, it does a register with the server.  SCOM does not contain all 
information, it just holds what it needs to do the alerting and monitoring.  
Fortunately, SCCM does contain that information. :)

Using the tools you have indicated, I would do this using this approach:


1)  Use data from SCCM to feed your CMDB (basically your discovery source) 
using AIE or AI.  This will ensure you have the data in your CMDB.

2)  Setup monitoring on the hosts using SCOM

3)  Configure Orchestrator to catch those SCOM alerts that you are truly 
interested in.  Use the SCCM OIP to retrieve the information about the host you 
need to create the incident.  Using that data within Orchestrator, use the 
standard OOB Remedy web services to submit the incident within the same 
workflow you retrieved the data in.

The only variant on this would be to use a database query in the workflow to 
retrieve the detail data about the host instead of the SCCM OIP. And this would 
be only if for some reason the SCCM OIP did not provide the data you needed.

Agreed, but not everyone has an understanding of how to utilize an API level 
interface.  For those, the Remedy Data Import Tool suffices.

Use  Remedy Java API -- I have done this precise task (Inputting large  batch 
CI -- Access db, EXCEL, csv files, etc etc into Asset forms) several times over 
the past few years, it is much faster and less troublesome than the standard 
Remedy tool(s).

Hi,
I offer this as a pre-made integration if you do not want to code this yourself 
available here:

http://www.missingpiecessoftware.com/products/ar-email-to-itsm-integration

There is a fully working evaluation available that you can trial here:

http://www.missingpiecessoftware.com/downloads/viewcategory/11-ar-email-to-itsm-integration

It incorporates many of the techniques discussed on this thread by others and I 
have also had customers add additional functionality such as attachment 
compression.


Kind Regards,

Carl Wilson

Hi All,

I have a requirement to give users the ability to send an email to ARS and 
create a Work Info Note in the Incident or Change. When the email is received 
in the AR System Email Messages form, based on the subject line, the email is 
pushed to a staging form. On the staging form I do some validation for things 
like out of office replies, verify the sender, etc. If all criteria are met, 
then I push to the Work Info. Attachments are the challenge. How do I get the 
attachments to the staging form?

ARS 7.6.04

Thanks

2013-05-08 Thread rahul bose
If the modify All option is greyed out, it has to be a permission issue.
Check if you can add Incident Master permission to your profile and then
try to use this function.

 Pavan,

 You can relate a pending incident with any incident. But I guess if you
 have related with one incident using original of / duplicate of, the same
 incident you can’t relate with other one.  I just tried now and it resolved
 the related incident without any error.

 Hi,

 Thanks for your response. 

 But I've tried both ways i.e selecting the incidents and then Tools--
 modify all but modify all option is disabled in my case and another one
 that relating the incidents but upto my understanding we cannot relate
 the Pending incidents.

 I'hv tried this also and at this time it is showing me error.

 I hope this will help incase if you want to resolve the pending incidents.
 You can try using relationship tab. Go to the incident A which you want
 actually to resolve and relate all the pending incidents using original
 of type like below.  On resolving incident A, it will resolve all the
 pending incidents. But pls check your Filter API timeout. There is an
 unsaid constraint on the number of incidents to relate for resolving
 related incidents. I tried this in 7.1 for resolving 240 incidents but ends
 with Filter time out error.

 Current request : incident A original of  related incident B

 functionality in Incident mangement to modiyf all the pending incident by

 incident by modifying the status of only one incident Currently we are
