Date Calculation

2014-05-08 Thread Karthick S
Can anyone help me in this calculation



Need to calculate Current Date + No. of Days in a Month.



We have process to create automated ticket in Remedy, so when a ticket is
created the End Date of the ticket should be Month End Date.



Example: If a Ticket created in Current Date is 7/05/2014 12:00:00 AM and
the End Date should have 31/05/2014 11:59:59 PM.



Kindly provide your suggestion on this.

Re: Set Month End Date

2014-05-08 Thread pritch
Wouldn't the calculation of 32 days cause it to possibly jump over a month?  ie 
if the ticket is created on March 31 (or even March 30) it would calcuate a 
date in May.

Rather than try to play with the days - could we do something like this?

Set Fields actions (in Filter or Active Link)   
   Action 1:$ztmp datetime field$ = DATEADD(mm, 1, $DATE$)   
   Action 2:$ztmp datetime field$ = MONTH($ztmp datetime field$) + /1/ + 
YEAR($ztmp datetime field)
   Action 3:$ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp datetime field$ - 1

Subject: Re: Set Month End Date

This is the way I have done it in the past (Note: I am using US date format so 
convert as needed)

Set Fields actions (in Filter or Active Link)   
   Action 1:$ztmp string field$ =  MONTH($DATE$) + /1/ + YEAR($DATE)   
   Action 2:$ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp string field$   
   Action 3:$ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp datetime field$ + (32 * 86400)   
   Action 4:$ztmp string field$ = MONTH($ztmp datetime field$) + /1/ + 
YEAR($ztmp datetime field)   
   Action 5:$ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp string field$   
   Action 6:$ztmp datetime field$ = $ztmp datetime field$ - 1   

At this point the display only datetime field has 11:59:59 PM of the last day 
of the month

I broke the example out into individual set fields actions so you can see 
exactly what is happening.  Here is what each action is doing:   
   Action 1:   Create a string of the first day of the current month   
   Action 2:   Put the string into a date field   
   Action 3:   Add enough days to make the temp field the next month   
   Action 4:   Create a string of the first day of the month of the temp date 
field   
   Action 5:   Put the string into a date field   
   Action 6:   Subtract 1 second from the temporary date field to get the last 
day of the previous month

Karthick,

It is years since I have done this type of calculations.

In your example I would find the first day of the next month and then just take 
minus one day. The outcome would the last day of the month you are in.

I need to Set a Month End Date in a field Called Due Date. Please find the 
below. 

Example: Ticket created Date is 7/05/2014 12:00:00 AM and the Due Date should 
have 31/05/2014 11:59:59 PM. it should automatically calculate or populate the  
Month End  Date in Due Date field.


I have used this condition ($DATE$ + 43200) + (86400 * 31)) - (86400 * 
DAY((($DATE$ + 43200) + (31 * 86400) - (3600 * HOUR((($DATE$ + 43200) + (31 
* 86400) + (DAY($DATE$) * 86400)) - 1, Which given me the Due Date as 
7/06/2014 11:59:00 PM.

Can any one help me on this, Please.

How to change ip-addresses for Remedy servers.

2014-05-08 Thread Andrey Blednykh
 Hi, everyone
We need to change ip-addresses for our Remedy servers (BMC Remedy ITSM 7.6, 
operation system Windows 2008R2). Our current environment includes - web, 
application and database servers.
Step 1. I change address on web-server. After I configure (add new ip-address) 
in SSO Admin Console it works correctly.
Step 2. I change address on application-server. After this, windows service - 
BMC Remedy Action Request System Server doesn't start... There is error The 
description for Event ID 0 from source AR System Monitor cannot be found. 
Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local 
computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the 
component on the local computer. in Event Viewer.
What should I do to start Remedy correctly? In general, Is it possible? I mean 
- changing ip-address on application server.

Thanks in advance,
Andrey.

Re: Set Month End Date

2014-05-08 Thread Campbell, Paul (Paul)
The DateNum function is your friend here, try this
Have a temp character field and set it to be:
Temp Character =  (DATENUM(mm, $DATE$) +1) +  /1/) + YEAR($TIMESTAMP$) (You 
may have to reformat this a bit depending on Locale)

Then have another set fields into a temp date field that does
Temp Date = $Temp Character$

Then one more that does DueDate  = $Temp Date$ - 1

I haven't tested this but it should work

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Analytics report - difference in Summary and Detail sheet.

2014-05-08 Thread Stroud, Natalie K
Harry:

What kind of table appears on the Detail page, and is it a standard table or a 
crosstab?  On crosstab tables that show, say, one row for (in your case) open 
changes and, say, one row for closed changes, if you don't create a merged 
dimension for both a date from the open changes and a date from the closed 
changes, I have seen results like what you describe.

Re: Exporting query into csv excell worksheet

2014-05-08 Thread ddussie
Hi, 

We have a similar macro running on server. We don't need to append to
existing file but create a new file will date; but you can use the concept.

Insert the macro into a wrapper. A filter run process executes a script on
the server, that script executes the run macro, once the report is exported,
its is renamed to with date. This report runs once a day. 

we are on unix, so scripting is downdirty. 

In your case, Once the report is export, append it the original, and delete.

8.1.01.001 Patches -- Issue

2014-05-08 Thread patrick zandi
Ran into a issue this week and here is the problem and resolution

Problem ::

ARS 8.1.01 -- attempting to apply ARS patch 001  and it will not work.. it
says no product selected and fails.
It worked on another system...  The P001 SRM, and Atrium did work... however

Solution::
ENV  variable not in system --
BMC_AR_SYSTEM_HOME = PATH-TO-ARSYSTEM folder

Patch runs...

Potential Fix action if this does not work::
Copy ARSystemInstalledConfiguration.xml file from a working server and
replace same file on the non-working server.  Modify the file with the
correct server name entries.  Rerun the installation.

Re: Date Calculation

2014-05-08 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

First you find the start point of the month:
MonthStart = DATEADD(dd, 1 - DAY($DATE$), $DATE$)

Then you find the first of the next month and subtract one second:
MonthEnd = DATEADD(mm, 1, $MonthStart$) - 1

And you can do this in a single step:
DATEADD(mm, 1, DATEADD(dd, 1 - DAY($DATE$), $DATE$)) - 1

Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se (ARSList MVP 2011)

Transactional (TR) and Database (DB)

2014-05-08 Thread James Smith
Hi List,

We can achieve things without using TR and DB values in a filter by just using 
Field but I do not understand why they have been developed to use? I have heard 
from many remedy developers like Misi and BMC who suggest not to use TR and DB 
in Run If qualification of a filter but why?

Why it is not recommended to use TR and DB values?

What if I use TR.Field=DB.Field? Will it yield a correct result? In BMC 
documentation also they have not given any example where they used TR and DB 
together in a qualification.

Appreciate your thoughts!

Cheers,
James
