Re: Execution Time between API and SQL Logging

AW: change location of a field
Hi Listers, I think we should try it with remedy-features...I will create a second field, locate it at the right place and hide it. With active link I will show that field and hide the other one... Javascript might works as well...but this seems to be a dirty solution...:) Thanks a lot! Regards Christoph Von: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] Im Auftrag von Andrew Hicox Gesendet: Mittwoch, 2. April 2014 22:35 An: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Betreff: Re: change location of a field ** It is technically possible to zoom fields around the screen with active links using clever JavaScript (jquery works really well for this given that the id of the div containing the field is usually the fieldid). However I'm rather certain this kinda hack voids your warranty so to speak when calling up support. Though Doug brings up a lot of good points about why doing things like this are, in general, a bad idea ... in my (now considerable) experience doing remedy stuff on midtier, it's been a request that continually pops up again and again. In my opinion, the reason it is a recurring issue, is that from an end user's perspective, remedy is now a website ... except that it isn't ... because it's GUI breaks nearly every expectation a user might have for interacting with a website. Which is why people continually ask us developers to try and make it behave more like a website ... And why we start thinking of these ridiculous JavaScript hacks and such. Remedy needs a better framework for defining web GUIs. Just my two cents on it Andy On Wednesday, April 2, 2014, Mueller, Doug doug_muel...@bmc.commailto:doug_muel...@bmc.com wrote: Christoph, As is the case with many questions of this type, describing the problem you are trying to solve would really help. Several answers... No, it is not possible to change x,y coordinates or height or width of a field through active links. Fields moving around on the screen is confusing and disconcerting to most users. No support for this has been added. Now, if what you are looking for is areas of the screen to come and go and the screen to shift for new areas, then yes, this is possible. You use panels and you put fields on various panels and when a panel is closed fields below it are shifted up into the space that is now closed. So, this is one type of field movement and one that is expected by users. Or, if there is some specific reason for some condition to have a field move and it is something that the users would not be confused by, then the best approach is the one that is mentioned below. Create a new display only field of the same type but with the new x,y, witdh, height, and whatever else characteristics. Then, you use active links to 1) Maintain the same value in both fields. If either field has the value changed, it is written to the other field. Maybe something on loss of focus that just writes the value to the other field and put this on each copy. The only issue here is on the Query screen where you need to make sure if you use the Advanced Query bar, you reference the REAL field and not the copy. In QBE you are OK as display only fields are ignored and the two fields are in sync. 2) Add workflow to hide one field and show the other. Make sure that they are both not visible -- unless you are trying to have the SAME value show in two places which is actually another requirement and it would be handled using this same technique. Those are your options. Dynamic moving of fields is not something that is planned for and has a lot of potential for field overlaps and confusion as a general principle. There must be a clear need and clear value for the concept and then you would use one of the techniques above.

Also the time logged between the SQL statement and the OK is the time taken for the database to perform the query - the time taken to return the results to the server and perform any subsequent workflow processing is the gap between the OK and the next bit of SQL. As Misi says filter logging may help you see what is happening, if not, it could be that there are a large number of records being returned.

Re: Change Approvals not working properly...
Hi Suresh, You say that issue appears after change approval process. This means that you can simulate the issue every time so logging can provide information. In that case could you make following logs: - approval log set to most detailed information - filter+api+sql log. Do you have any pending records in Application Pending form? I've seen similar issues related to wrong approval process. Additional: signal/exception issue usually means that a thread had died. I see that thread was 390635 - standard List thread. There is also an option that Approval Server to run on its own specific thread - Setting this thread can say for sure that the issue comes from approval server. You can get more information by switching on thread log + adding Copy-Cache-Logging:T in ar.cfg file.

Web Service CIs
Good morning, We got a new requirement this morning of setting up web services as CIs so they can be tied to Change Requests as well as provide our I.T. security department a list that they can maintain and monitor. Mostly we would need to just track the name, a URL, and some attribute for marking it as being available outside the network. There are a few different classes that I could see potentially using but since there isn't one that is marked specifically for it I wanted to see where you all would suggest tracking them.

Re: Web Service CIs
I think I sort of see the why. Web Services when published have a potential of being used by n number of systems, and these systems could potentially be affected by an outage or an update of a web service and one could potentially loose track of all the potential consumers of a WS unless you have a proper DB of all its consumers. That's probably the management initiative behind wanting it in a CMDB so that any change requests to any of the systems or thee web services that are used by these systems, can then be tracked, depending on the relations between the system and the WS. If this is the drive behind it, I would think along the lines of considering the WS as a component of an application, rather than creating a specific CI just for Web Services. As for tracking if that WS is available inside or outside the network, you could build an attribute for the components of that application, that publishes that WS, on whether it is On Premise or Off Premise - and if Off Premise if it is a WS. Or maybe create a attribute for Software Applications for being On Premise or Off Premise, and then have components to the application, one of them being the various web services.

Re: Web Service CIs
Tracking them as a component of an existing application (or technical service) is the direction I'm looking for. While our security group is the driving force behind it, we need to know how our applications are interfaced from a CMDB perspective as well. It would be nice to know who the consumers are of a web service so when you have a Change Request to rename or modify the structure of that web service, you can immediately see who will be impacted. The internal/external requirement is what the security group cares about the most, but it would be useful so we know if we're potentially impacting outside customers as a result which would bump up the risk level.

Re: Web Service CIs
I'm actually thinking that the aspect of the web service being a CI itself, the internal/external aspect could definitely be tracked via the Product Categories rather than adding an attribute. I also want to make sure that our I.T. folks don't think of web services as being related to the ITIL definition of services, or the CMDB line drawn between business and technical services, so I wouldn't track this as either of those. I just don't want to create a specific class for WSDLs or anything like that. The other attributes that Joe brought up might not be as vital for us depending on how we can leverage relationships.

Web Services when published have a potential of being used by n number of systems, and these systems could potentially be affected by an outage or an update of a web service and one could potentially loose track of all the potential consumers of a WS unless you have a proper DB of all its consumers. That's probably the management initiative behind wanting it in a CMDB so that any change requests to any of the systems or thee web services that are used by these systems, can then be tracked, depending on the relations between the system and the WS. If this is the drive behind it, I would think along the lines of considering the WS as a component of an application, rather than creating a specific CI just for Web Services. As for tracking if that WS is available inside or outside the network, you could build an attribute for the components of that application, that publishes that WS, on whether it is On Premise or Off Premise - and if Off Premise if it is a WS. Or maybe create a attribute for Software Applications for being On Premise or Off Premise, and then have components to the application, one of them being the various web services. Something along those lines. That should give you the ability to track change requests tied to a WS.
