Re: Automating a web browser

Try using Selenium IDE for firefox. You  can record the actions you want and 
just keep 'replaying' the same later.

We have automated our post installation testing for Remedy using selenium in 
this way.

7.5 mid tier is nice but we have had lot of issues against a 7.1 server. Issues

Re: Capture currently executing workflow

Re: Sending Emails to Groups

2008-12-05 Thread Sreenivas, Aravind
What will happen if the user enters some other number (say "2007") in
the email ID field which by chance matches some other group ID (and
assuming no user exists with username = 2007) ? As per the current
logic, email should be sent out to all members of the group ID 2007.

Next, what if the user enters "Public" in the email ID field (assuming
that a user with this name doesn't exist) ? Since it doesn't find a
match in user form but finds a match in the Group form, it should send
emails to everybody.

If so, only creating a user with username = 0 might not be sufficient as
it will not cover all the groups.

Or am I wrong?

Re: Mid-Tier 7.1.0 Performance Issue -- Tomcat

2008-11-20 Thread Sreenivas, Aravind
 

We recently observed that when we restart our app/web server
(Tomcat/Apache), majority of the files in the cache directory (*.data
and *.index) are updated (/webapps/ars/cache). We have enabled
persistent cache option and have a few of the biggest forms in
pre-fetch.

 

1. For forms mentioned in the prefetch xml, am I correct in assuming
that :

a. these are fetched when I start/restart the app/web server AND the
other forms (i.e. those not mentioned in the prefetch xml) are not
fetched? 

b. The forms not mentioned in the prefetch are fetched only when a user
tries to access the forms and its out-of-date (assuming Enable check is
switched on)?

 

2. Is there any way in which we can tell the app/web server not to fetch
forms (either mentioned in prefetch or not) when we restart the app/web
server? We would like it to use what data it already has in the cache
directory before it was restarted, rather than it fetching the forms
from the server again after its restarted.

 

3. What is the purpose of the USERNAME in the prefetch xml? Should only
an admin username be defined here or will any ID do?

 

I skimmed through the documentation available, but was unable to get
clarity on the above.

The use of persistent cache is so that you don't have to go fetch again
after the Mid-Tier is restarted.  

 

BMC Remedy Mid Tier performance (persistent cache)

In AR System 7.1, forms currently cached in memory can now be serialized
to a file, which enables these forms to be read back into memory when
the application server hosting the mid tier application is restarted
(after a normal shutdown).

 

Pre-fetch is for when the forms haven't yet been fetched.  It ensures
that the fetching occurs prior to the first request for the form.  That
way, users don't have to wait for the Mid-Tier to fetch the form - it's
already there and cached for them.

Re: Embedding Javascript in forms in mid-tier

2007-10-24 Thread Aravind S
Thanks, Michiel and Steve for that. Tried putting it inside  and now
the JS code is being called.

Regarding the tooltip and positioning, I was looking at the source code for
the remedy mid-tier page and I am not sure how I will include the tooltip
attribute *within *the remedy-generated code. If I am not wrong, I think
this will have to be embedded within the 'textarea' clause for every field.

Can this be achieved by editing ClientCore.js found in the mid-tier
installation directory?

Embedding Javascript in forms in mid-tier

2007-10-24 Thread Aravind S
Hi All,

Remedy ARS v6.3 P20
Sybase
Solaris

I have been tasked to check whether custom Javascript can be embedded within
a remedy form. To the best of my knowledge, remedy seems to dynamically
generate the page for a form on the mid-tier and hence there is no physical
HTML/JSP file to edit and customize on the server.

I looked at the 'Edit Web Header Content' and 'Edit Web Footer Content' in
View Properties -> Appearance' of a form, but when I embedded javascript
within HTML code, the javascript code was being ignored.

Can you please let me know how can I embed custom javascript code within the
dynamically-generated page for a form in mid-tier? Some of the things that
we are looking to do with javascript is to display some helptext on
mouseover on a field on a form and to be able to define the popup-location
of dialog box/error message box on the mid-tier.

Also, the custom JS code should affect only that particular form and not all
forms.

Thanks

Aravind
