Re: Set Field If syntax when matching on another form

2014-10-20 Thread laurent matheo
I guess It might depend on your background too.

If you come from php or some other coding language it would actually make more 
sense to do:
$status$='status'
Since variables begin by $ and strings by '.
And there doing the opposite would actually trigger an error so your brain is 
hard-coded ^_^

Anyway, good to know the right way to do things in all languages.

 In addition to this, when I was with Column we did a lot of testing of these 
 types of queries against different DB's for performance tuning - so although 
 some people do say that it does not make a difference we did prove that the 
 indexes were skipped in certain instances on different DB's.
 When I made my logging application, I added a tab that showed where the 
 qualifications are backwards in their logic due to the above.  Other third 
 party logging tools also do the same where they indicate that the query 
 should be reversed for optimal performance.
  
 Always a good rule of thumb to stick to the rule of referencing the external 
 (or non local/remote) table field first in the qualification, although this 
 may be now mitigated in the latest versions of the DB's used [good coding 
 practise] J

 Whew, glad it wasn’t just me! I was taught by Sydney Dent probably about ten 
 years ago IIRC. I learned a lot from that class that I have used over the 
 years. It does grate on me every time I see the “backwards” syntax even if it 
 doesn’t affect anything except my brain. Have a great weekend all!

 Hi, Everyone:
  
 I thought I was the only one who feels automatically driven, like some 
 outside force will punish me if I don’t stick to the ‘Field’ = $Value$ 
 syntax.  I can’t write it any other way.  I just can’t.  Let me try, $Valu….  
 Nope, can’t do it.  It is literally a physical reaction in my gut that won’t 
 let me.
  
 With that said, I’m with Carl and Rick.
  
 I do believe that in the AR System Performance, Tuning and Troubleshooting 
 3.x  class that we learned to start with remote form.field first and 
 current.value second in qualifications.  On page 238 of the manual  
 (copyright 1997 Remedy Corporation), although Set fields aren’t referenced 
 specifically, samples to promote index use are written ‘Field’ = “known 
 value” or ‘Field’ = value.
  
 My two cents,
 Michelle
  
 P.S.
 To Whomever taught this class in Dallas (Richardson), TX in August 1997 – 
 Thank you.  This is by far the best Remedy class, I’ve ever attended.  I 
 still use the Performance Tuning tips to this day.  I still offset escalation 
 interval times to make sure they’re not a factor of 60.   I still use = to 
 give an index a starting point, etc.

 Thanks for all the feedback. I was on MSSQL back when I learned this but am 
 on Oracle now so I won’t spend the time to change these when I run across 
 them for now. If I have time I might ping BMC Support to see if they have a 
 definitive answer.
  
 Carl I like that you reference local and remote forms, that’s how I normally 
 refer to them myself but I was afraid that some people might think I meant a 
 form on another server.

 Hi,
 Depending on the Database used, referencing the local field first (and not 
 the remote table field) will cause the Database to skip the use of the 
 indexes on the remote table and thus cause performance issues with the query.
 This was mainly present in MS SQL as opposed to Oracle from memory.

 Same here, 'Field' = $Value$ is what I use, but I'm not really sure why.  As

Re: Introducing Remedy with Smart IT (and one of those opportunities for remote interaction with Engage)

2014-10-20 Thread Jim Coryat (jcoryat)
If BMC follows suit with what they have done in the past on other products 
similarly positioned, I fully expect that MyIT becomes part and parcel of the 
SRM offering.  Since it appears they are going to follow the same approach for 
all the interfaces for Remedy, it would seem silly that they have SRM and then 
MyIT as two separate offerings when it will be more attractive to a customer to 
have them combined as one.

Just my $.02

My understanding is that the goal is to eventually use that platform as a the

By the way, I downloaded it last week when it was available on EPD, but I 
haven’t had time to install it yet.  However, I’ve seen demos and it’s really 
cool.  Forget about the ITSM competitors, I already see how rolling this out is 
going to make other apps in my company look bad for their lack of intuitiveness 
and lack of mobility.  In fact, I think this will be among the first non-saas
