Re: USER_CACHE Problems
Hi, If you get ARERR 329, the user/password seems not to match. At least not to what is in the cache... You can use another program named arecache to add a new admin user that you can later use with arreload. Note that the -s option changed to/from -t at some point. I do not remember which version. Choose a Login Name and Request ID that does not exist. arcache -Ua -d -e 1500 -n loginname -s server -g 1; -l1 -p passwd If you are out of fixed licenses, you might need to delete a current Fixed user before you add the new one. arcache -Ud -d -e x -s ServerName Finally try the arreload again. I also recall a bug with arreload together with the -d option. Try avoiding -d. I do not remember the exact version with this problem either...

A couple of days, my database started showing some problems related to tablespace. This caused a bunch of weird issues. The tablespace issue has been resolved. A couple of my users had closed their clients during that time and when they came back received the error message that they were still logged on and would they like the other session closed. They would answer in the affirmative, but when they would then log back on, they would get the same message. I then tried to kick them off from the admin tool, but they would still get the message. I then triggered (I think) a re-cache by adding a display only checkbox and then doing a modify all against all users with that checkbox checked. I did this based on kbase articles that talked about this type of issue. However I still have a couple of users who are getting this message. User logs don't show a need for them to be released, in fact they just show them logging in as normal.
Re: USER_CACHE Problems
If you gave the person admin permissions and the problem went away and then came back after you removed it. Then the issue isn't the user_cache. The issue is the permissions that the user has and the permissions required for the screen you are trying to access. Everything is changing when permissions are changed so the user_cache and that whole under lying system is working fine. I am sorry I don't have better advice for you, but I would say find someone who it is working for and making sure that this user has the same access. Another thing to look into is the data for their permissions in the db. You might see a bit of corruption in the group assignment. I have found issues with manually pasting in values sometimes. I hope some of that helps.

Re: OT: Setting up a demo environment on LINUX..
I also heard from a reliable resource that you can install the AR System server (and perhaps even the ITSM apps and Atrium products) on Windows 7 Professional as it has the same libraries that are required for the installation as a Windows Server. He was sure of the AR System but has not tried ITSM and Atrium on Windows 7 Professional. I'd like to know if anyone has attempted that. If that is possible, I might not even need to install VirtualBox and create a Linux virtual instance. If anyone has successfully installed the whole suite (AR System, Mid-Tier, ITSM, Atrium) on Windows 7 Professional, I'd like to know the hardware configuration of the machine you used.

While the user is not logged on from the machine they are trying to log in from when receiving the error that they are logged in from another machine, do you see any activity from that particular user on user logging?

Re: DB Copy Issue
Hi, Yes, but you can still use a Fixed license on both servers with old/legacy/green licensing, as long as it is assigned to the same user. So if you have an account on both servers, you will only need one fixed license for that user.

I thought of two more items worth mentioning. The User records will be copied over so to remain in compliance you will likely need to change most of your user accounts to Read licenses after the DB copy. Also the entitlements for user licenses mentioned by Davin only apply to the Blue pricing model. If you happen to be on the Legacy/Green model that is not the case as licenses are purchased for production use at one cost and for development use at a lower cost so they are not interchangeable. -Rick From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Davin Lindner-Green Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2015 2:38 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: DB Copy Issue ** A second vote to use the Remedy Restore Tool, plus some hints on licenses. In version 7.x they are stored in the database so will get copied along with everything else. Also, if you are on version 7 or newer the only license key that is tied to your Host ID (your hardware) is the AR Server license. You should add the AR Server license from DEV to your PROD environment before you copy the database. That way it will be there when you start up DEV post-copy. In terms of entitlement, my understanding is that you are entitled to use AR User Fixed licenses on any server in your environment as long as the users are the same named users (which they will be after database copy). AR User Floating licenses may be tied to a specific server (although not enforced by the license key mechanism) so you might have to adjust that number after a copy. However this depends on which licensing model you are under with BMC so you might not have to adjust anything in terms of licensing. Last item, you may want to disable the email engine and any external integrations on DEV before the copy, so you don't accidentally send duplicate email notifications or trigger integration actions from DEV. Also, if you are using custom Remedy applications at all, any server references you may have included for integrations and the like won't be detected and changed by Remedy Restore Tool. It is oriented primarily at ITSM and ARS core forms only.

Hi, Some forms are tagged to belong to a specific ITSM application such as the BMC:InfrastructureChange form belongs to BMC:Change Mgmt.

Weird or Expected behavior Webservice 7.6.04
Hi Guys, I just boarded to a new client where they are using integrated environment of SharePoint with Remedy ITSM 7.6.04, they have designed the request entry console of ITSM with all its functionality in sharepoint and integrated it with ITSM through webservices. Their system is working as expected but sometime it happens the generic user through which they connects start giving authentication error messages. After digging more i have seen they are only using one 'user' which connects them to remedy. As per my understanding a user with fixed license can only connect concurrently to specific amount of machine i am not sure about the number. if there are people creating ticket concurrently through SharePoint console in that case their ticket creation will fail and they will get authentication errors. I think as they are using only a single remedy user to authenticate with web service causing this issue and the most disastrous think i have also noticed is, they are also using the same remedy account for one more integration.

First of all if there are physical users using the same Remedy account to create and update tickets, concurrently, you are violating the Remedy User License agreement. If you did not already know that, you might want to reconsider and generate separate accounts for each physical user. If these users are using some sort of a portal that uses a Remedy published WSDL, then you are ok. In fact that is how a published WSDL using a pre-configured login for the WSDL in the Mid-Tier basically works.

Hi Joe, Thanks for your reply.

The Generic user is owning a fixed licence with admin permission with other couple of permission like Incident Master. Now take a scenario- there are four people- A- from Australia, B- from Boston, C- from Chicago and D from Delhi their account exists in CTM:People form already. they are trying to create tickets concurrently through the portal which is using this web service, they were authenticated by web service through Generic User and their Remedy Login ID's were passed as a submitter parameter for that ticket with other required values to create a Service Request. Now when user A, B, C, D clicks the submit button at same time as well as there is one more Web service integration which is also currently doing same transactions in Remedy with the same 'Generic User'? will they get an authentication error or it will allow them to create request?

Their system is working as expected but sometime it happens the generic user through which they connects start giving authentication error messages. After digging more i have seen they are only using one 'user' which connects them to remedy. As per my understanding a user with fixed license can only connect concurrently to specific amount of machine i am not sure about the number. if there are people creating ticket concurrently through SharePoint console in that case their ticket creation will fail and they will get authentication errors. I think as they are using only a single remedy user to authenticate with web service causing this issue and the most disastrous think i have also noticed is, they are also using the same remedy account for one more integration. Please provide your insight over the same. -- *Thanks regards* *“Harsh Chaudhary”* * **Impatience never commanded success* _ARSlist: Where the Answers Are and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: Where the Answers Are and have been for 20 years_ -- *Thanks regards* *“Harsh Chaudhary”* *Impatience never commanded success*** ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years

If you're having problems with arreload you can force a reload of the user_cache table by doing a Modify All on all of the records in the User form - select them all and change a field such as the Creator/Submitter - one that you're not worried about.

Re: USER_CACHE Problems
I tried that Mark by utilizing a display only check box on the form. I figured that would workmaybe not? I also tried giving the user Administrator level privileges. As I expected, the problem went away. But the moment I took them back, the problem was back. If he just clicks the x in the warning box, he can work. The funny thing is that it pops back up when he opens his helpdesk case form. I suspect this may have something to do with the Helpdesk license assigned to him. Just a guess though.

(See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365733(v=vs.85).aspx) If the folder you are installing to (or any of it's parents), or any other folder the installer is writing files to, is a mounted folder and the underlying volume/disk is full, you might encounter an issue that seems as if you have space left on the drive but you get errors regarding running out of disk space.

Can you check atriumsso.properties in midtier and get rid of this? -Original Message- From: BradRemedy bradrem...@gmail.com Sent: 12-02-2015 12:05 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Atrium SSO 9.0 + Userid Format Question ** Hi Everyone I need some help please. I am busy setting up atrium SSO in my environment and cannot seem to get the final steps working. The atrium SSO installation went through with no errors and I have successfully added a user store to our remedy application server (Version 8). I know this is working because in the Users and Groups sections I can see my remedy usernames and groups being pulled through. I have also setup Kerberos Authentication with a Flag of Sufficient and the Profile as Dynamic. However when I test the SSO solution and I have a direct URL to the SRM console, it opens the page however it doesn't authenticate me. The Welcome message on the top right corner of SRM is empty whereas it would usually say Welcome Joe Soap. It also complains about permissions which confirms my thoughts. I currently only have one web server (Also version 8) integrated to the Atrium SSO which I did by following the instructions in the installation guide and running the SSOMidtierIntegation application - also which installed with no errors. Once thing I did notice is that if I look in Atrium SSO under the Sessions section, I can see my username in there however it is in the format of 'userid@domain'. So it is j...@abc.com' which doesn't match my remedy usernames which is just 'joes'. Basically I need to strip out the domain information from the userid in Atrium SSO and I have looked at all config settings and cannot find anything anywhere. I did see under the Kerberos settings that there is a option for Use Domain name with Principal however that is not enabled at all. Does anyone know how Atrium SSO gets the user information from the web server and how I can change the format of that information before it reaches the SSO server ?
