Re: Escalator duplicates work

2014-01-15 Thread Jose Manuel Huerta Guillén
Thank you all!

I've read on documentation that Disable Escalation flag is ignored when you
set a server group.

I will change the configuration of the form according to my needs. As
always, you're really helpful!!

Brad,

You have multiple options to move data, I would first like to ask a couple 
questions.
Transactional Data - Number of INC, CHG, SRM, PBM, Task.  Just ballpark 100K or 
> million. Volume per month 50K, 100K or >million
Number of open tickets INC, CHG, SRM, PBM, Task

I have leveraged ARX exports and imports for most of my customers transactional 
data migrations to 8.1 (1 initial move then multiple Delta moves up to Go Live 
weekend.  Added a handful of cleanup filters and an escalation or two to 
trigger cleanup.  The main cleanup is on open records that need to modified and 
will trip validation filter errors.  Also have added an exclusion to some 
existing validation filters  (ie 'Submit Date' > "01/01/14")   (Go Live date 
01/01/14 example)

Hi All

Hope everyone is well.

We are busy with our upgrade to ITSM 8 and have setup a completely new 
environment which will host the Version 8 applications. We are currently 
running Remedy 7.6 P003 with ITSM 7.6 and SRM 7.6.

The new environment has been setup and configured and is working perfectly and 
we now come to the task of migrating the data from ITSM 7.6 to the new ITSM 8 
environment. For now, we are focusing on the foundation data as that is the 
most important part and I was wondering how everyone who has done this upgrade 
has managed to move their data over.

I was looking at using the spreadsheets, however it is alot of admin work and 
with any data updates or changes on our currently live 7.6 environment, we 
would need to make sure that we apply those updates to the version 8 
environment.

Ideally, we would like a automated solution / scripted solution that we can run 
which would update the data and keep the new environment in sync.

It was suggested by another developer that we look at possibly using the Atrium 
Integration Spoon application to do this data migration and that we create a 
transformation job which we can re-run etc.

Has anyone done this before? If not, would you please share how your company / 
project was able to migrate their data?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brad

I can add my vote for rrrchive as well. During our drawn out upgrade to 7.6.04, it ran from PROD to UPGRADE all day and night (using Windows batch files) keeping everything in sync until we were ready to go live. Then all we did was shut everyone out of PROD, run the sync one more time, and point the network to the new servers (there were a few minor updates to some forms with server references but it was relatively smooth).We still use it even now to continuously update our archive/reporting server through Windows batch files and scheduling.Can't say enough good things about it.Thanks, Misi.On Jan 15, 2014, at 08:35 AM, Chad Wilhelm  wrote:We use RRR Chive.  We synced millions of records with no problems so far. https://www.rrr.se/cgi/index?pg=chive Thank You,Chad WilhelmCareTech SolutionsOffice: (248) 823-0177Helping extraordinary peopledo extraordinary thingsBest in KLASPartial IT Outsourcing 2012Extensive IT Outsourcing2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011Best in KLAS Awards:Software & Serviceswww.KLASresearch.com ­From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Dale JonesSent: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 12:00 AMTo: arslist@ARSLIST.ORGSubject: Re: Migration of Foundation and Historical Data ITSM 7.6 to ITSM 8 - Using Spoon **Brad,You have multiple options to move data, I would first like to ask a couple questions.Transactional Data - Number of INC, CHG, SRM, PBM, Task.  Just ballpark 100K or > million.

I'm pretty sure you have to have ITSM upgraded prior to SRM, even if BMC 
doesn't officially say that.  I don't recall what it is, but I think there is 
some field mapping change or something that would be different and limit the 
functionality.  Then again, I could be wrong.

As far as BMC Documentation, we've had a good laugh around my office about it.  
I've had to make a guide to using RKM because BMC's documentation is not very 
good.  Here's an example of how well documented the status transitions are:

*In Progress - Initial status that is automatically assigned to all articles at 
the time of creation. Articles are visible only to the author until promoted to 
another status.
*Draft - The first status in the workflow.
*In Review - Typically the next step in the workflow.
*Published - Statuses related to publishing articles.
*Closed - Statuses related to closed articles.

This is amazingly bad.  On that same page, there's a hyperlink to take you to 
what you think is going to be more information, but instead it takes you to a 
link to teach you what the word Status means:  "Statuses are used to denote the 
current phase of an article within the article's life cycle."

Based on current documentation alone, I would say that someone with no 
experience of prior RKM versions would be able to use the current version.  
There are things like this all through BMC's wiki site.

If all I want to do is upgrade ARS and SRM from 7.6.4 to 8.X, does anyone have 
anything that is  step by step on how it should be done.  In the order it 
should be done.

The most frustrating thing is the install of ITSM, you have to install 
everything in a specific order and BMC didn't provide the order list until 
someone on the list created it.

You would think that since BMC makes this so freaking complicated now they 
would give us better instructions.

Just to add my $0.02, we're close to moving to 8.1 in production, although 
we're past the technical team testing phase and about to go to UAT.  We did 
already get to 8.1 ARS in Production with ITSM 7.6.4 with no new problems so I 
can vouch for that as well.

There seem to be a few really good "new" features that come with 8.1 (as 
opposed to 7.6.4, we bypassed 8.0), such as the new SRM, restoring the 
Categorization tabs, the rules based email engine, the automatic screen 
refreshes on Change Management when you go to a new phase, etc.  Several of the 
same old bugs are still around though.  Global Search is still 50% useless, the 
Mid Tier crashes Tomcat as frequently as it had before, and you still have to 
have your users clear their browser cache as often as Windows ME users have to 
reboot their PCs.

Despite not fixing many defects, some of the new features make it worth 
upgrading just to have in place since the users are already used to Remedy's 
quirks.

Hi,

We are planning the upgrade from 7.6.4 to 8.1.  Wondering what others have 
experienced with a 7.6.4 to 8x upgrade.  Our company feels this upgrade is 
going to be "very difficult." We have never archived any data.  There were over 
100 hotfixes applied to 7.6.4.  Besides the release notes, is there any 
documentation to help with this painful process :) Are there any gotchas?

The way I have always told people to sign up for the list is to send an email 
as follows:

Where FirstName LastName is the display name they want people on the list to see

To confirm their settings I tell people to send an email as follows:

NOTE:   The email address you use to send commands to is not the same as the

MPS AR Remedy Restore Tool 2.6

2014-01-15 Thread Saji Philip
We are doing a refresh of our staging environment and would like to use MPS
AR Remedy Restore Tool.

Its a server-grouped environment and wanted to know what exactly the field
'SG Ranking Server Name to Update' field would contain.  I assume its the
Ranking form update.

Do I put in the old server name (source) or new server name (target) in
this field?

I have used the Restore before, but we've been cascading from a server
grouped environment to a non-server grouped environment and I did not use
this option.  This thr first time I am using it to go from server group to
server group.

Any help would be appreciated.
