Analytics 7.6

2013-10-03 Thread Frex Popo
Hello all,
I have Analytics
7.6.06 installed in my development environment (Oracle database) and need to
refresh it with a copy from production. That would mean losing all the objects
(package, functions, stored procs, tables, views etc.). Is there any way I
could rerun manually all the .sql scripts in the installation package to
restore the schema, or is the only way to restore is by reinstalling analytics
again? 
My second
question would be, how about if I want to make my Analytics/BO installation
point to a different Remedy database, could I BO ODBC to point to the new
database and also run the SQL scripts or do I have to reinstall again?
I am finding the
option of reinstalling tedious and problematic so would appreciate if anyone
who attempted this can shared their thoughts.
Best Regards
frex

Re: Moving from Oracle to SQL

2013-10-03 Thread Dixit, Amol
Hi,

Migrator can migrate the data from any database to any other database. 
Of-course BMC supported databases I am talking about.
All the data migration happen through the API and BMC AR server take care of 
all internal conversion. Even for Migrator user the data migration is seamless 
in regard of database specific type conversion.

To summarize, if you are using any tool that is Migrating the data using BMC AR 
Server API, you don't have bother about db specific formatted data

Hi Misi,

Thank you for your input. Our issue is not moving forms and workflow from one 
server to another it is much more with the data in the forms. Thus we are 
looking at the available options. Using Migrator or RRR Chive are both options 
but I do believe there are tools available that will convert Oracle formatted 
data to  SQL Server formatted data at the database level.

This would allow to create an ARSystem database in SQL Server to work with. The 
big question is what are the gotchas involved with this type of conversion.

Thanks,

Hi,

I will actually be doing a presentation on Friday 10:00 at WWRUG about a new 
set of tools to sync your DEF-files between servers.

You can already download RRR|ExportDef from our web site that will export your 
complete system in one go.

Then you could just import that on top the freshly installed server using
RRR|ImportDef (soon to be published).

When you are all done you can use RRR|DefDiff to check that everything is in 
sync.

Re: Help Needed for ARERR 102 Error.

2013-10-03 Thread
The error (ARERR 102) comes when some of the  form name which is being passed 
dynamically to the server say in some active link action is not resolved . This 
could be because the server does not have that form at all or the field value 
which is being passed for form name does not have the value.

One possible case could be, on some action a filter is fired but that filter 
primary form is not available.
Same possibility could be with fields too.

However since you observe this issue after you got the new PC, it seems that 
because of some OS issue the values are not passed to the server on execution 
of some activelink in the first try . Will have to debug that on that specific 
machine/environment.

First of all message not in catalog is a message you receive when the AR System

Join form(s) or temp fields (take 2 steps...first step pull the values from the 
other forms into temp fields, then use the temp fields in your other action in 
the same filter).

If you go join, remember the best practices regarding performance and depth of 
joins.

Susan,
You could create workflow so that when the task is set to closed, you pull that 
data from the task work info form and append all the data you grab to the Notes 
field with some sort of delimiter. Then you can include the notes in your 
notification. If you don't want to use notes, you could create an additional 
field to hold this data.

Re: Support Company based muti-tenancy

2013-10-03 Thread Ray Gellenbeck
Agreed.

We'd prefer the ability to say...

"This group's tickets are invisible to everyone else, including sister support 
teams within our company and other companies.

This data in CMDB can be seen by all in our company, but not others.

This data in CMDB can be seen by all companies

These support KB articles are only for NOC people.

These SRM catalog entries are for all companies except (x) and (y).

etc"

In Sony's case, we'd like to offer the app to other sister divisions while 
keeping some elements proprietary to ours, but take it a step deeper and say 
"the SOC's tickets cannot be viewed by anyone not in the SOC group(s)."

I have played with 8.1 in a dev sandbox but not delved into multi-tenancy 
changes yet.  In 7.6.04, the model was insufficient in complexity/options to 
allow this efficiently.

Hi Ryan,


I think that this phrase sums up
perfectly what multi-tenancy is “Tenancy is based and controlled at the Company
level”.
 
However, I think for my issue I would
like multi-tenancy to be defined as “Tenancy is based and controlled at the 
_Organizational_
level while allowing access to company level data”

Here is what I _think_ the issues would still be trying to setup the system
with support users having unrestricted access and the end users having access
to specific companies.
 
1. If I give the support users
"Unrestricted Access" then all the support users will see ALL the
tickets in the other organization’s area and we only want them to see items in
their area
 
2. End users belong to an overarching company of which all
the other (support) organizations are children of that company, so end users 
will
belong to that overarching company vs. a specific “sub company” (organization)
Let me see if I can give a use case based on what I really
want to do...
I work at GWU and ALL the users (end users and support
users) will need to belong to the company "GWU". 
I also have 2 organizations, IT and AT, that want to be able
to be completely autonomous from one another but still use the same user base
(GWU users). I would like to setup the support user in the IT group to belong
to a IT “company/org” and the AT support users belong to a AT “company/org”
So when a user calls IT to report an issue, I would like the
IT people to be able to 
a) Retrieve
the user records from the GWU pool of users (which we can with Support Company
Access Config) 
b) Have
the business rules for IT be used to process the ticket.
c) Not
have the AT group be able to see the tickets that belong to IT
Then I
would like the same to happen for the AT group when a user calls AT to report
an issue.
I think
the highest priority is based on Incident and Problem, but this would need to
cascade to the other ITSM modules as well
Again,
thanks for the input. Hopefully the above clears up a little bit what I am
looking for, however I think that might not be something that can be done with
just configuration options (but I am hoping to be proven wrong)

2013-10-03 Thread Simon Ellis
Currently in the process of carrying out the suggested activities in 
https://kb.bmc.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=KA370107

Have an issue when applying Plugin-ARDBC-Threads: 4 12 in the ar.conf.

What i am observing is activities within the User Tool become un responsive 
when accessing areas like the System Information form.  In our dev environment 
BMC Support suggested making the following parameter changes:

Private-RPC-Socket:  390620   4   6  to Private-RPC-Socket: 390620 10 15
Private-RPC-Socket:  390635   4  10 to Private-RPC-Socket: 390635 10 20

This worked there, and i could keep the Plugin-ARDBC-Threads: 4 12 in the 
ar.conf as well.  However as i've gone through to applying the same changes to 
our test environment, i can only get the tool to work properly with the 
Plugin-ARDBC-Threads: 4 12 parameter commented out in the ar.conf file.

Anyone had similar issues applying these changes?  What's the significance of 
the Plugin-ARDBC-Threads: 4 12 parameter?  Can i just leave it out?

Susan,

I just realized….the table field is already on the task form…..

Create a temp display only field….and a filter guide (table loop) with filters 
to run through the table and perform the concatenations…then fire the 
notification using the temp field contents.

The only way to include fields from multiple forms (short of writing your own 
plugin to do so) is using join forms or tertiary forms that contain all of the 
data from the multiple base forms.

If you require all work info entries…then as far as I am aware you are limited 
to either creating a join on the 2 forms and pushing to the join form where ID 
= ID and send the notifications form the join……or

Create the table field on the TMS:Task form and have a filter guide table loop 
to concatenate all of the work info records to a single temp field and use this 
field (in conjunction with any native task fields) to create the notify action.

I am sure there are probably other ways to accomplish this…but…the table field

Hi Susan,

There are a few ways to accomplish what you want to do…Tauf mentioned a good 
way….also….

Keep in mind that there is a one to many relationship between a task and work 
info records (many work info records per task record). Do you need all 
potential entries included? Or just the most recent?

You could create a join form between TMS:Task and its Work Info form with all 
of the fields you need and either query the new join….or have notification 
workflow fire off of the join form (ensuring that any direct access URL is 
handled to point back to the real task form)
You could add a table field to the TMS:Task form for the Work Info form to get 
any or all of the associated work info records to include in the filter notify….

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Ryan.

Hi Susan,

There are a few ways to accomplish what you want to do…Tauf mentioned a good 
way….also….

Keep in mind that there is a one to many relationship between a task and work 
info records (many work info records per task record). Do you need all 
potential entries included? Or just the most recent?

You could create a join form between TMS:Task and its Work Info form with all 
of the fields you need and either query the new join….or have notification 
workflow fire off of the join form (ensuring that any direct access URL is 
handled to point back to the real task form)
You could add a table field to the TMS:Task form for the Work Info form to get 
any or all of the associated work info records to include in the filter notify….

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Ryan.

Susan,
You could create workflow so that when the task is set to closed, you pull that 
data from the task work info form and append all the data you grab to the Notes 
field with some sort of delimiter. Then you can include the notes in your 
notification. If you don't want to use notes, you could create an additional 
field to hold this data.

Hi folks,
I currently have a filter that sends a notification message to a task 
submitter, alerting him/her when a task status changes to “Closed”. I have been 
asked to add the Work Info fields, summary, notes, submitted by, and submitted 
date, to the notification message. I’m not finding anything in the guides that 
indicates how to pull fields into a filter notify action from multiple forms. 
Since the primary form is TMS:Task, I seem to be limited to using fields from 
this form only.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to include fields from another form?

Susan,

I just realized….the table field is already on the task form…..

Create a temp display only field….and a filter guide (table loop) with filters 
to run through the table and perform the concatenations…then fire the 
notification using the temp field contents.

The only way to include fields from multiple forms (short of writing your own 
plugin to do so) is using join forms or tertiary forms that contain all of the 
data from the multiple base forms.

Hello again  ☺

If you require all work info entries…then as far as I am aware you are limited 
to either creating a join on the 2 forms and pushing to the join form where ID 
= ID and send the notifications form the join……or

Create the table field on the TMS:Task form and have a filter guide table loop 
to concatenate all of the work info records to a single temp field and use this 
field (in conjunction with any native task fields) to create the notify action.

I am sure there are probably other ways to accomplish this…but…the table field 
loop would be the most effective way that I can think of  ☺

Hope this helps

Your ideas are great; but, again, I wonder if there isn’t already a means of 
including fields from multiple forms into one filter, without having to create 
a new form or table or field on the primary form.

WWRUG13 and more

2013-10-03 Thread Blairing
Folks, just a minute here between sessions to fill you in on on another big 
announcement that was almost lost in a flurry of Twinkie tossing at WWRUG13. We 
have heard that BMC will sponsor a larger scale user event at the Swan and 
Dolphin Resort starting October 13, 2014. The details are still to be announced 
but our hope is that many of the facets of the WWRUG conferences will be 
included.

In addition to this, WWRUG will present a Closer To You conference event in 
late March or early April, 2014 in Bangalore, India!  What better way to note 
that we are the World Wide Remedy Users Group than venture out to other parts 
of the world? The details on this are also in the very early planning stages 
but BMC and Unisys have agreed to be sponsors. We're still meeting in San Jose 
this week so things may change, but this much has been announced so far.

Exciting stuff, so happy to be in San Jose! Wish you were here!

Doug

Susan,
You could create workflow so that when the task is set to closed, you pull that 
data from the task work info form and append all the data you grab to the Notes 
field with some sort of delimiter. Then you can include the notes in your 
notification. If you don't want to use notes, you could create an additional 
field to hold this data.

Susan,
You could create workflow so that when the task is set to closed, you pull that 
data from the task work info form and append all the data you grab to the Notes 
field with some sort of delimiter. Then you can include the notes in your 
notification. If you don't want to use notes, you could create an additional 
field to hold this data.

On BMC communities site there are "unsupported" plugins for Dev studio. What 
are the chances that theses utilities will be incorporated into the main 
product?

Some of them may be if they are on the Dev studio long term list of features. 
Some of them eventually will be included. Most of the plugins found on 
communities are supported at least by the authors or contributors on the list, 
but not through official support channels. A good example is archgid, written 
by some guy named Mueller

In granular overlays, do I have to overlay the view if all I want to do is 
change the position of one field?

Mueller: you still have to overlay the view because the field is on the view, 
but only the field layout data is changed. Dev studio handles the underlying 
layers for you.  You use add field to view overlay, not overlaying the field 
itself.

Q: CMDB asset life cycle status field has been moved. Where?

Asked and answered in another session :-), 

LJ long wing started to answer, doug mueller prempted response, Clair Sanford 
responded and again Mueller states: the asset management product added product 
life cycle data to the configuration management database. That was the wrong 
place. The life cycle info is NOT related to the configuration of the asset. 
The change that was made was to move the life cycle data into the life cycle 
product (asset management). The life cycle is now part of AST:Attributes ( or 
something close to that). It looks much the same on the screen, just the 
underlying data is in a different place.

Also the underlying database response for this type of operation is about 40 
per cent faster.

Q: can you comment on the differences between BMC communities and the ARSLIST?

Bloom: depth of long term expertise and fast response are best found on 
ARSLIST. ARSLIST is email based which gets around web page blockers in some 
locations. ARSLIST is also independent from BMC.

Mueller: ARSLIST has been around for 20 years, BMC Communities for 2. ARSLIST 
is customer driven. BMC communities supports multiple products without some of 
the social aspect. There are overlaps. Communities includes many BMC employees 
as participants, ARSLIST less so.  If the technology had been around in 1993, 
chances are that ARSLIST would have been a web forum

A: they're the same. One is configuration, one is operational. They are not

trying to do something that seems really simple, but I can't seem to find any 
matches, so I want to find all filters that fire on submit or modify where 
primary form = X, and I put the form name in the search text, I set the search 
in to be Forms: Workflow; Guides and all it finds is the form, no filters.  
I've tried setting a qualification of Only These Locations, Object Type =Filter 
and TargetText Location = Form, still no filters.  Object Relationships are on, 
I just can't seem to get the right criteria.  Any search wizards out there?

Re: Support Company based muti-tenancy

2013-10-03 Thread John Marshall
Hi Ryan,

 I think that this phrase sums up perfectly what multi-tenancy is “Tenancy
is based and controlled at the Company level”.



However, I think for my issue I would like multi-tenancy to be defined as
“Tenancy is based and controlled at the _Organizational_ level while
allowing access to company level data”


Here is what I _think_ the issues would still be trying to setup the system
with support users having unrestricted access and the end users having
access to specific companies.



1. If I give the support users "Unrestricted Access" then all the support
users will see ALL the tickets in the other organization’s area and we only
want them to see items in their area



2. End users belong to an overarching company of which all the other
(support) organizations are children of that company, so end users will
belong to that overarching company vs. a specific “sub company”
(organization)

Let me see if I can give a use case based on what I really want to do...

I work at GWU and ALL the users (end users and support users) will need to
belong to the company "GWU".

I also have 2 organizations, IT and AT, that want to be able to be
completely autonomous from one another but still use the same user base
(GWU users). I would like to setup the support user in the IT group to
belong to a IT “company/org” and the AT support users belong to a AT
“company/org”

So when a user calls IT to report an issue, I would like the IT people to
be able to

a) Retrieve the user records from the GWU pool of users (which we can with
Support Company Access Config)

b) Have the business rules for IT be used to process the ticket.

c) Not have the AT group be able to see the tickets that belong to IT

Then I would like the same to happen for the AT group when a user calls AT
to report an issue.

I think the highest priority is based on Incident and Problem, but this
would need to cascade to the other ITSM modules as well

Again, thanks for the input. Hopefully the above clears up a little bit
what I am looking for, however I think that might not be something that can
be done with just configuration options (but I am hoping to be proven wrong)



John

First of all message not in catalog is a message you receive when the AR System

you perform a non root install on UNIX and forget to perform the post

Dear All,

Ever since I got a new PC, with new OS ( windows 7 ) , I have been getting an 
ARERR 102 error when Opening an Incident from the Incident Management console. 
If I click OK, the error comes back up a second time.  If I click OK a second 
time, the error will go away and the record will display. Otherwise, no other 
issues in Remedy.

I have deleted all my .arf and .arv files, still getting error.
I have tried changing the BMC Remedy User Compatibility settings, still getting 
error. (screenshot in Work Info)
I turned on Logging to capture the issue. (file in Work Info)

There are other people in the company also having the same issue. I am a remedy

Re: Moving from Oracle to SQL

2013-10-03 Thread Nall, Roger
Hi Misi,

Thank you for your input. Our issue is not moving forms and workflow from one 
server to another it is much more with the data in the forms. Thus we are 
looking at the available options. Using Migrator or RRR Chive are both options 
but I do believe there are tools available that will convert Oracle formatted 
data to  SQL Server formatted data at the database level.

This would allow to create an ARSystem database in SQL Server to work with. The 
big question is what are the gotchas involved with this type of conversion.

Thanks,

Hi,

I will actually be doing a presentation on Friday 10:00 at WWRUG about a new 
set of tools to sync your DEF-files between servers.

You can already download RRR|ExportDef from our web site that will export your 
complete system in one go.

Then you could just import that on top the freshly installed server using
RRR|ImportDef (soon to be published).

When you are all done you can use RRR|DefDiff to check that everything is in 
sync.

Thank you Jon for providing your information to the arslist.  It's not
often (with the exception of Doug Mueller) a bmc executive participates in

When an executive volunteers to follow-up we should always graciously take

Re: Support Company based muti-tenancy

2013-10-03 Thread Downing, Ryan
Hi John,



If I understand your dilemma correctly then ITSM 8.1 should be able to handle 
this scenario with the following assumptions:



1. Support people have "Unrestricted Access"

2. End users have "Restricted Access" to the Company (department) to which they 
belong



In ITSM 8.1 multi-tenancy works as follows:



Ø  Multi-tenancy is a feature in the BMC Remedy Applications that enables you 
to control which records and specific configuration data are exposed to a user, 
based on the user’s permissions. Tenancy is based and controlled at the Company 
level.  Various forms in the BMC Remedy Applications expose one or more Company 
fields that control the tenancy access for a given record.

Ø  Row-level security typically works as follows:

o   On main user facing transactional forms:

§  Tenancy is based on the  Customer Company and/or Process Company defined on 
the record (sets field 112)

§  Tenancy is also based on the Support Companies assigned to a record (sets 
field 60900)

o   Child forms:

§  Child form should inherit their parents tenancy permissions

o   Join forms

§  Tenancy should be inherited from either the primary or secondary form 
identified within the join criteria especially if one of the forms is a user 
facing transactional form



Ø  Tenancy is implemented using the Row-level Security feature of AR.  In 
summary we determine which groups or roles have access to a request through the 
permissions on the Request ID field (field ID 1).

-  In the Remedy Applications this is controlled by the following 
permissions on field ID 1

§  10 = Unrestricted Access

§  7 = Assignee Groups (field 112)

§  60900 = Vendor Assignee Groups (field 60900, typically only used for 
transactional based forms)

-  These permissions are used to drive the tenancy model in the apps.  
Both Assignee Groups and Vendor Assignee Groups are referred to as Implicit 
Groups in AR.

-  In the apps we assign Company permission groups to these two 
Implicit Groups to control access to records.  Hence our tenancy model is based 
on Company access.  Unrestricted Access permission group is a regular AR 
permission group.  If a form is going to be row-level secured in the Apps (or 
multi-tenant) we typically assign these three permission groups to field ID 1 
on that form.  Note, Vendor Assignee Groups (field 60900) typically contains 
the AR permissions group ID for Support Companies that are assigned to a record 
(e.g. for Incident that would be the Assigned and Owner Support Company; for 
Change that would be the Change Coordinator and Manager Support Company, etc.). 
 The Vendor Assignee Groups permission is not required on all forms and it 
typically found on transactional based forms.

-  So in order for a user to see a record, on a form that is 
multi-tenant, they need to either have the Unrestricted Access permission 
group, which gives them access to all records as this is defined on field ID 1 
on all tenant forms OR they need to have access granted by one of the two 
Implicit Groups.



You’re use case in ITSM 8.1 would mean that the customer company is stored in 
field 112 (Assignee Groups) and the support user company is stored in field 
60900 (Vendor Assignee Groups) (on all main transactional forms: incident, 
problem, change…etc…). Since Field ID 1 on these forms has permissions to both 
field 112 and 60900 the appropriate people should see the request.



Support users should be allowed to see all requests as they have unrestricted 
access.



(hopefully I have understood you’re use case properly  ☺)



Hope this helps.



Regards,

Ryan.

We made some coding changes but, for various reasons, it was never entirely

Effects of SLA on open tickets

2013-10-03 Thread shashidhar M S
Hi Experts,

I have a query regarding SLAs. We have a scenario where the terms and condition 
of an SLA has been modified. On modifying an open ticket where this SLA was 
attached, The milestones are behaving strange. Say we have 3 milestones at 25%, 
75% and 100%, after modifying the ticket, the 100% milestone has remained the 
same as how it was before modifying. But 25% and 75% has over taken the 100%. 

I would like to know the effects on the milestones of open tickets when an SLA  
is modified.

I have deleted all my .arf and .arv files, still getting error.
I have tried changing the BMC Remedy User Compatibility settings, still getting

Someone was just telling me on the ARSlist that BMC Support had really made a 
turnaround and was doing much better. Kathy's email seems to indicate otherwise.

Hi,

Does anyone know who we can contact on a Sr. Management level at BMC regarding 
technical support?
We are not happy at all with the level of support we are receiving.
If you like, you contact me directly for any recommendations.
