Re: Call Guides and saving data

Angus,
the $EVENT$ data is available to all workflow through the life of the
event, so yes, the AL that is called by guide has access to the same
keywords that the AL that fires on event...I don't see any problems with
your approach.

Re: Call Guides and saving data

2013-06-30 Thread Angus Comber
My specific query is that OK I have access to the $EVENT$ data in the call 
guide but the call guide will call a Javascript function and retrieve some 
data.  There will be an active link in the call guide to retrieve the data then 
another active link in the call guide to do something with the data.  Where do 
I temporarily store the data returned from active link 1 for use in active link 
2?  In Remedy can you dynamically create new variables?  Or if not how do I 
temporarily store?

Hi 

I have a situation where a third party application raises an event (it 
calls ARProcessEvent) and passes a string.  I need to process the string by ly 
looking up a value based on the string using a javascript function.  I want to 
do this in the simplest most convenient way possible.

So my idea was to do it like this (please correct me if there are better 
ways):

A) Respond to event by creating an active link which is fired by Event 
(Execution Options, Event ticked).

B) This active link grabs the text passed in $EVENTTYPE$ and $EVENTDATA$ 
variables and calls a call guide.

C) Call guide contains an active link which uses the string text in 
$EVENTTYPE$ and $EVENTDATA$ and calls the javascript function and stores the 
result.

D) After call guide runs active link that called call guide (ie orignal 
active link fired by event has a second If action which creates a Message using 
the result from step C) above like this:

Hi $USER$ your message is $STORED_MESSAGE$

So my questions are:

Is this the right way to do it?

Are the $EVENTTYPE$ and $EVENTDATA$ variables which are generated from the 
first active link event available to the call guide active link?  If not how do 
I pass the call guide active link the data?  Can I just create a variable on 
the fly?  Or does Remedy not work like that?  If not do I store in a hidden 
field?  What are the options?

How do I use the result from the call guide active link by the other active 
link?  Same sort of question as above?

Any help would be much appreciated.

How to get a table in a form to be populated with data on form load

2013-06-30 Thread Angus Comber
Hi

I have a Table on a Form and I have set the columns to be fields in another 
form - a contacts form with eg name, age, address, etc.

When the form is loaded it does not display any of the records.  But if I click 
on one of the column headers it then displays the daya in the table.

I tried an active link run process - PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE_REFRESH, execute on 
Window loaded.

I tried an active link with a set fields, field the table Value Default, 
execute on Window loaded.

But neither of those work.

What should I be doing to display the data in the table on window loaded?

Angus

Make sure you have the SSOAuthenticator in config.properties file instead
of the deafultAuthenticator.

Re: Mid Tier 8.1 and IE 8

2013-06-30 Thread Hulmes, Timothy CTR MDA/ICTO
We have just upgrade to 8.1 and went live a few weeks ago.  We are a mix of IE8 
and IE9.  We have seen serious performance issues with the users that use IE8.  
We are in the same situation in we can't upgrade everyone quickly to IE9 and no 
other browser is an option.  We are working 24/7 with BMC on this but have not 
received an acceptable solution.

Subject: Mid Tier 8.1 and IE 8

** We're starting to plan an upgrade from 7.6.03 to 8.0 or 8.1, for both ARS 
and ITSM. In looking through the known issues for both versions, the issue of 
degraded performance with IE 8 and the 8.1 mid tier jumped out at me. We 
currently use IE 8 and an upgrade to 9/10 is not scheduled until late this year 
or early next year. An alternate browser is also not an option, at least not 
without much begging and pleading, and then several months of testing. 

My question is, how common is the performance degradation? Has anyone 
experienced this first hand? We'd like to take advantage of some of the new 8.1 
features, so it might be worth trying if this is more of an intermittent issue. 
Any experiences you'd like to share would be greatly appreciated.

Re: How to get a table in a form to be populated with data on form load

2013-06-30 Thread Anandsagar Sah
Hello Angus,

I am not sure If I understand you problem correctly. Do you simply want to 
refresh the table ?
Use "Change Field" Action in Active link to refresh the table OR Use 
PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE-REFRESH process.
It should be PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE-REFRESH fieldId

Note that it is not the same as  "PERFORM-ACTION-TABLE_REFRESH", which you were 
using.

Thanks & Regards,
Anandsagar
