Re: ITSM 7.6, Incident Management, Service field?
Charlie, Rod is correct you have to relate the Business (or Technical) Service CI to either a Person, Organization or Company. Another thing to remember, If you are relating to a company or organization, and you have more than 1 company just remember the Service+ field menu on the form is populated by the Company of the Customer+. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Rod Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 12:25 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ITSM 7.6, Incident Management, Service field?

Any suggestions on building workflow to automate tasks with Incident Mgmt 7.6
Hello, Does anyone have any advice for building workflow to allow for automated Tasks in Incident Mgmt v7.6? We have a request process that is really not meant for the Change Mgmt module for it is a Service Request, but it requires multiple parallel tasks that need to be auto-generated in sequence. Before I start active link and filter logging to try to figure out the OOB workflow I was just wondering if anyone out there can point me in the right direction for I know I am not the first person to do this. It would be much appreciated. -John. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: Where the Answers Are smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
Re: How to get the Subject line when sending an email that performs a submit action?
Sergio, One recommendation for your Push Fields action to Bridge form workflow: Use an Escalation to push fields from the AR System email Messages form --- BridgeForm form and not a filter. I have setup and maintained incoming email workflow for a Large-Scale implementation of Remedy 6.3 (The email engine has not changed since then) and we found that having a filter push fields from the AR System email Messages form --- BridgeForm form can shutdown the entire Remedy Application service if there is an error with the filter processing. Also the more intricate you get in your parsing workflow that extracts information from the Email the more variables of errors will occur. I also recommend using another escalation to push fields from the BridgeForm -- HPD:HelpDesk. When we used a filter we did not discover this until the first few days of production.

Un-Fragmenting SQL Indexes for ITSM 7.5 + SQL Server 2005
All, We are about to deploy a AR System 7.5 + ITSM 7.6 on SQL Server 2005. What is the recommended way to handle un-fragmenting of the ARSystem Db indexes? More Specifically: 1. Does un-fragmenting the indexes give us any performance boost or does it cause more problems when trying to fix? 2. Should we schedule a job to reorganize or rebuild the indexes? 3. Our deployment is considered a medium sized deployment. Should the job be scheduled quarterly? Monthly? Yearly? 4. Should the indexing job be done with the ARSystem instance is online or offline?

Configuring AR System 7.6 to support a View Form for a remote SQL Server database
Question, I am reading page 177 of the AR Server Integration guide v7.5 on how to configure a VIEW FORM to connect to an external database.

I am a bit confused by this line in the integrations guide: Create a link to the remote database and either give ARAdmin an account on the remote database or use the proper login credentials. What do they mean by link? Do they mean an ODBC datasource connection on the database server? Or is this something that needs to be setup in SQL Management Studio? Also, a couple lines down from this setup task the guide says: The format for the table name is:LINKNAME.DATABASENAME.OWNER.TABLENAME Do I have to create this table in my ARSystem Database?

Re: Configuring AR System 7.6 to support a View Form for a remote SQL Server database
So, you create a view in the local ARSystem database, is this dangerous?

In MS SQL Server this is called a link (in Oracle it is a dbLink). In SQL Management you set up a link so the Remedy database can connect to the external (remote) database. Think of pure a SQL select statement. How would you do a select of data in an external (remote) database while connected to the local Remedy databse? Personally I do it a bit differently. I set up the link and a database View of the data in the external (remote) database in the local Remedy database and then create my Remedy view form against that local database view. This way I can adjust for dev/test/production environments at the database level and Remedy is the same for each. Say the Remedy database is called LocalRemedy and the external (remote) database is CompanyDatabase. In LocalRemedy you set up a link to CompanyDatabase called Companylink. You can then create a Remedy view form against CompanyLink.CompanyDatabase.dbo.People.

Thanks for the suggestion Rune, but is there any way to disable the 3rd Tier altogether? Having the First Tier of PC be the ITSM Module Name will frustrate the users because they will have to always select 3 tiers to get to the Product Name (if they choose to use the menus).

Qualification Anomaly discovered in Operational/Product Tiered Menus for Incident Managment 7.5.
All, I wanted to make everyone aware of an anomaly I found with the menu qualifications in the the Operational/Product tiered menus attached to the HPD:HelpDesk form in Incident Mgt v7.5.01. The qualifications, used in the Incident Mgt v7.5 menus to pull in the menu values from Company Module Relationship Config dialog forms for both the Operational and Product categorizations are different from the Incident Mgt 7.1 versions of the same menus (they are even the same name). The qualifications found in the v7.5 menus disables the functionality offered by the checkboxes under the support modules (User Service Restoration, Infrastructure Event etc) on the Company/Module Relationship configuration forms for displaying or hiding Categorizations based on Incident type field on the Incident form. NOTE: I have not compared the menu qualifications for Change and Problem Mgt menus yet. Has anyone else seen this behavior with ITSM patch 7.5.01? And if so have you put in a request for this to be fixed in the next patch for Remedy 7.5? Below is a side by side comparison of the menu qualifications from both 7.1 and 7.5. Notice that dynamic field values from the Configuration forms (ex. $10001$) are used in the version 7.1 menus allowing for the menu to cross check to allow the Categorizations to display or hide: Operational Tiered Menus Primary Form: HPD:HelpDesk Secondary From: CFG:Service Catalog LookUp Operational Tier 1 Menu - CFG:CTL:S1-HPD-Q (ITSM 7.5.01) Qualification (7.5): ((('Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ('Status-CTA' = Enabled)) AND 'Company' = $Company$) OR ('Company' = - Global -)) AND ($Company$ != $NULL$)) OR ($Company$ = ))) AND (($Service Type$ = User Service Request) AND ('Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($Service Type$ = User Service Restoration) AND ('Service Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Restoration) AND ('Infra Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Event) AND ('Infra Event Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = $NULL$) AND ('Help Desk Selection' = Yes))) Qualification (7.1): ( 'Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ( 'Status-CTA' = Enabled) AND 'Company' = $11$) OR ( 'Company' = - Global - )) AND ($11$ != $NULL$ )) OR ($11$ =)) AND ((($100099$ = User Service Request) AND ( 'Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = User Service Restoration) AND ( 'Service Restoration Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = Infrastructure Restoration) AND ( 'Infra Restoration Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = Infrastructure Event) AND ( 'Infra Event Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = $NULL$ ) AND ( 'Help Desk Selection' = Yes))) Operational Tier 2 Menu - CFG:CTL:S2-HPD-Q (ITSM 7.5.01) Qualification (7.5): ('Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ('Status-CTA' = Enabled)) AND 'Company' = $Company$) OR ('Company' = - Global -)) AND ($Company$ != $NULL$)) OR ($Company$ = ))) AND (($Service Type$ = User Service Request) AND ('Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($Service Type$ = User Service Restoration) AND ('Service Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Restoration) AND ('Infra Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Event) AND ('Infra Event Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = $NULL$) AND ('Help Desk Selection' = Yes AND ('Categorization Tier 1' = $Categorization Tier 1$)) AND ('Categorization Tier 2' != $NULL$) Qualification (7.1): ( 'Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ( 'Status-CTA' = Enabled) AND 'Company' = $11$) OR ( 'Company' = - Global - )) AND ($11$ != $NULL$ )) OR ($11$ =)) AND ((($100099$ = User Service Request) AND ( 'Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = User Service Restoration) AND ( 'Service Restoration Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = Infrastructure Restoration) AND ( 'Infra Restoration Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = Infrastructure Event) AND ( 'Infra Event Selection' = Yes)) OR (($100099$ = $NULL$ ) AND ( 'Help Desk Selection' = Yes))) AND ( 'Categorization Tier 1' = $100063$) AND ( 'Categorization Tier 2' != $NULL$ ) Operational Tier 3 Menu - CFG:CTL:S3-HPD-Q Qualification (7.5): (('Status-CAT' = Enabled) AND ('Status-CTA' = Enabled)) AND 'Company' = $Company$) OR ('Company' = - Global -)) AND ($Company$ != $NULL$)) OR ($Company$ = ))) AND (($Service Type$ = User Service Request) AND ('Request Selection' = Yes)) OR (($Service Type$ = User Service Restoration) AND ('Service Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Restoration) AND ('Infra Restoration Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = Infrastructure Event) AND ('Infra Event Selection' = Yes))) OR (($Service Type$ = $NULL$) AND ('Help Desk Selection' = Yes AND ('Categorization Tier 1' = $Categorization Tier 1$)) AND ('Categorization Tier 2' = $Categorization Tier 2$)) AND ('Categorization

It does exist in CTM:People. You will need to remove one of the Fixed licenses from one of those users and give to appadmin in the CTM:People form. This will cause the account to be created in the User form so you can use it for login. Login as Demo to accomplish this and apply the permissions and license to appadmin. Once done, you will be able to login as appadmin to complete the ITSM configuration. The other option, is to just permission Demo or one of the other users the same as you would appadmin.

SMPM 7.1 for ITSM 7.1 customization questions
All, We just purchased and installed the SMPM for Service Support and Service Delivery application for the ITSM Suite 7.1. I was under the impression that there was a GUI that could easily be used to update or modify the dynamic process flows contained within the web pages of the application. For example, the incident mgt process does not completely fit our processes and my customer wants to update the flow chart to add an extra step. So far I cannot find an executable for a GUI to do this. It seems to me that the process webpage's are static and cannot be modified even though BMC told me they could it looks like I have to go deep in to the JavaScript files to get this stuff to work. Of course, I have not lessened the application with our production license I am only using the trial for testing. Does anyone know if there is a GUI that can be used to update the webpage's in a more easy fashion then going down to the script level to make customizations?

Re: Crystal Reports and Mid-Tier license issue
We just went through the purchasing BOXI license process for our new BOXI server and they are not cheap. SAP just bought out Business Objects and changed the licensing model. There are not more Fixed and Floating User licenses, according to our rep if you are standing up the BO Crystal Enterprise Server XI. You now have to purchase CPU licenses for each CPU for each application server. We purchased 2 because the price jumped signifgantly last June. CPU Licenses allow unlimited access to the Application server were BOXI is installed. If you try to call them to get new licenses they will tell you that you will need to purchase CPU licenses, or at least that is what they made us do. If they tell you other wise I would like to know.

Oracle 10g vs. SQL 2005 for supporting ITSM 7.1
Developers and DBA's, I need your opinion on which database softwares would be better suited to have the Remedy AR System 7.1.0 and the entire ITSM Suite 7.0.3 installed in. I am not partial to either database software's for I have used both before but never in a multi-server clustered and replicated environment like this proposed system. Please, if could give your opinions for which database software would be the best choose for a multi-tiered Remedy server environment running MS Server 2003 64-bit OS and relying heavily on replication between 3 databases in a production. The system may have to support up to 900 support staff users and 100,000 non-support staff users.

Re: Oracle 10g vs. SQL 2005 for supporting ITSM 7.1
Thanks Joe, From my conversation with some internal DBA's and I think the winner is Oracle 10g due to the superior Replication features. Thank you so much. From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Joe DeSouza Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 10:04 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Oracle 10g vs. SQL 2005 for supporting ITSM 7.1 ** John, While neither of the databases are 'bad' each has its own advantages or disadvantages. The biggest advantage of using MS-SQL is that if you do not have a dedicated DBA, most administration tasks on MS-SQL are doable by a non DBA with some knowledge of how it all works. Also by default the database is not case sensitive which makes searching a little more easier than it is on Oracle that has to be set up as case insensitive. Oracle on the other hand has powerful DBA tools that usually an expert level DBA can take advantage of. The administration tools available with Oracle in my opinion are way more powerful than those available with MS-SQL. So it is definitely the choice of a DB for a bigger shop that would expect its database to grow up to be ginormous over a few months/years. At the end of the day look at your available resources and what your company is willing to invest to take care of that database. If you do not have Oracle DBA's is your organization willing to spend that extra 80 to 120K a year for one? You definitely do not want Oracle if you do not have a qualified DBA on site. You can sort of get away with MS-SQL without one.

David, Yeah I checked the compatibility matrix, but I wasn't sure if 3.0 and 3.1 were just updated patches that would still work with 7x because they fell under the BO XI version and I thought that maybe BMC just didn't update their matrix. I wanted to know for sure. Guess I thought wrong. I just downloaded Release 2.

Hi John, You can always find this kind of information in the compatibility matrix for AR System, which can be found here: http://www.bmc.com/support/bmcremedycomp/index.htm Crystal Enterprise 10 was the last version of Crystal Enterprise released by Business Objects. Crystal Enterprise 10 is supported on AR System 7.1.00 If you actually meant Business Objects Enterprise version XI, AR System 7.1.00 will support BO XI R1 or R2. BO XI 3.0 and 3.1 are not supported. SAP / BO made a decision not to make BO XI 3.0 or 3.1 backwards compatible with BO XI R2 integrations, BO XI 3.0 or 3.1 will not work properly out of the box with AR System 7.1.00. A majority of users have moved to BO XI R2 according to the folks I've talked to at SAP. -David J. Easter Sr. Product Manager, Solution Strategy and Development BMC Software, Inc.

Advice: Need Ratio of AR Floating Licenses to Service Desk Floating Licenses
All, I need some quick advice for my management on how many Service Desk and Change Floating Licenses we should purchase for our new system. Can someone tell me what the ratio of AR System Floating licenses to Service Desk Floating Licenses you have with your system? I know that Application floating licenses are only grabbed from the user pool when a record is updated or submitted to the database which is a split second thing, in that case lets say for example I have 100 AR System Floating Licenses and I own service desk and my user base is 24 hours and not all users will use the system during peak hours how many Service Desk Floating licenses should I purchase? 1:3 or 1:4 or would a higher ratio be better?

Re: Advice: Need Ratio of AR Floating Licenses to Service Desk Floating Licenses
Thank you Jiri, How does the licensing true up at the end of the year with BMC work? I heard that with 7.1 you have to send BMC your license file for them to review it, and if you use more than you own they charge you for it. Is this true? Thanks. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jiri Pospisil Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 9:33 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Advice: Need Ratio of AR Floating Licenses to Service Desk Floating Licenses ++ Please Read The Disclaimer At The Bottom Of This Email ++ John, one thing to consider is the fact that the application floating license is allocated to the user not when they update an entry in the given application, but when they access a form that belongs to the application, i.e. the incident management floating license token gets allocated to the users when they open the Incident Management console and stays with them for at least an hour or until they log off the Remedy client (this is what we observed on our 7.0.1 system). I have just had a quick look in our user log file and I think the usage ration between the Remedy floating and Incident management floating licenses is about 1:2. This is mostly due to the fact that we heavily use the work order module which does not require application license, only Remedy one. If your users will be mostly (or only) using the Incident management system, you may even need to go with ratio closer to 1:1.

HPD:Incident Interface_Create form issues
Question I am trying to migrate some ITSM 6.x Help Desk Tickets and some Change Requests into Incident Mgt 7.x. by using the HPD:Incident Interface_Create and the CHG:Change Interface_Create forms. I am using the Remedy Import tool to upload the tickets to the Incident create Staging form. I map my fields properly and then import them to the staging form, but they do not create any Incident tickets after they have been uploaded to the Interface_Create form. Am I missing some fields in my import? Are their any fields that I should be uploading to this staging form so that it kicks off the workflow behind it to create the Incidents? I noticed that all the filters behind the 2 HPD and CHG Interface_Create forms executes on Submit so I think I am missing something. Also is there any documentation on this form?

Is it possible to request ITSM Patches/upgrades for Win32 as definition and data files instead of a bundled executable file?
I have used an ITSM 7 (Win32) Patch and I noticed it was bundled in an executable file. I was wondering does BMC offer the actual workflow associated with these patches separate instead of the executable so we as developers can pick and choose what is being applied from these patches on our servers so we don't have to meticulously track and bundle our customizations (especially changes to forms) and pray that the patch does not overwrite them? Can they just give us the Definition and data files with a map so we can test each and every piece of workflow out on our development servers? Even better a Migrator file so maybe we can actually migrate individual fields? Thanks.

Re: using Web base (Mid tier ) or client
Roseta, Although I cannot give you any test cases on speed comparisons between the Mid-Tier and the User Client because we have not begun load testing on our environment yet, I can give you some tips that I have picked up from different developers on making your Mid-Tier faster: It is recommended, that if you are to use the Mid--Tier for version 7.x to upgrade to v7.1.0 to take advantage of the Caching function. This will allow you to pre-cache in the servers memory the big forms that take considerable time to load in the browser which will considerably speed up their load times. Also for big forms (eg. HPD:Help Desk, CHG:Infrustructure Change etc..)It is also recommended to make some lighter views of them that exclude fields your customers may not use to speed up the load times...less fields less objects for the browser to load. As for the operating Systems you can install Mid-Tier on a 64-bit OS to take advantage of more RAM, but currently you cannot use a 64-bit JVM. The 64-bit OS will give you more of an advantage than a standard 32-bit. Hope this helps. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of roseta Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 1:05 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: using Web base (Mid tier ) or client Hi, We are using Remedy 7.0 with 500 Registered users.All of them already have client installed.

Re: Question: Configuring Assignments in ITSM 7.x
My problem with the new assignment functionality is that because a support user can manually assign the ticket to any group on the Support Group Name+ menu list the assignment engine does not keep them from assigning the ticket to the wrong group. My customers don't like open manual assignments which this version of ITSM in effect allows because people like to assign tickets to one group all the time when they should only be presented with the groups that are designated to handle that Operational Category. I wish their was a way to stop this but I see I have some headache explaining this in my future. Thanks for the information Kevin. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Begosh, Kevin Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 2:46 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Question: Configuring Assignments in ITSM 7.x What I did forget to mention is that if you set up the auto assignments correctly you can leave them blank and let the system assign a group to the ticket for the analysts so that they will not even have to assign the ticket to a group, then the group manager can assign it to a user or you can configure the assignment engine to even do that.

Re: permissions issues again
Gary, Maxim is right, Submitter Mode is the way to go because it allows users with READ AR Licenses to submit unlimited records and update the records in which they are the submitter. If you are on AR System version 6.3 and are using the ITSM 6.0 applications and you are running into errors with modifying tickets through ITSM apps like Help Desk, I have developed some workflow that fixes the errors you see once Submitter Mode is changed to Locked with Remedy's OOB ITSM Applications (Change, Help Desk and Task). I can package it up if you wish to save you some headache. Also if you have custom app's make sure to look at your related workflow on the Submitter field and make sure that before you change the submitter mode to Locked that there is no rogue workflow that is updating the Submitter $2$ field in any of your Regular forms and that of there are any existing records you want specific individuals to update to change the submitter values of those records to the user names you want to be able to update (if you are giving them READ licenses). -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of BMax Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 2:52 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: permissions issues again Hi, what is the submitter mode for this server(Server information-Licenses tab)?

Re: Question: Permission Issues with Infrastructure Change Management 7.x
Lisa, You may be right, we are currently testing Remedy 7 in a lab/development environment and are using 30-day trial licenses until we get within a month of deployment so that we can upgrade and apply our 6x licenses to the 7x environment. I just renewed the AR Server 30-day trial license which could be what is causing the issue. I think I am going to have to delete all of my test users, delete all of the licenses and start over.

My guess would be yes since the BEST solution is to put a mid-tier on the Crystal server to handle reports, complete with crystal viewer, and have your primary mid-tier configured to point at BOXI/Crystal Report Server 11 on a different machine with Midtier - that offloads reporting, and removes the need for the .rpt files to get shared between the mid-tier server and the crystal server. The only machine I have IE 6 on is my old 2000 server desktop that was my complete console into ARS 5.1.2, so there is no way to compare speed. It is still set up with the 5.1.2 User and Admin Tools. It is something like a P III 800, so it doesn't do anything quickly. I don't have access to an current hardware XP machine with IE 6. I just tested it (remoted in same subnet - I'm over in the server building), and it is still faster (IE 6 on 2000 server) than the User Tool on XP, and in fact it was faster than IE 7 on XP (remoted in from mac over wireless) although the XP box has Outlook 2007, PowerPoint 2007, Outlook Express and another IE 7 session already open (not bad for 1 gb) with both hitting mid-tier simultaneously. Maybe IE 6 is faster... you'll need to do some testing on equivalent platforms.

Re: Question: Permission Issues with Infrastructure Change Management 7.x
I know this much, that I am on Change Management v7.0.3. As for the patch level, that is a little tricky because I had an issue that I discovered when I tried to install the data Management Tool where the Data Management Tool installer could not find the patch level of any of my ITSM installed applications. I called Remedy Support and they were like don't worry about it and sent me a shared properties record to import into the Share Application Properties form so the installer would read patch level 6. Because of this I can't really tell you what patch I am on. Are you suggesting to download the Change management patch 7? I thought it was only on patch 6? These error are not good because I know how the Permissions structures are in Change 7 and these error just don't make sense.

Re: 911: ITSM 7.x and Reporting
Kathy, If you are trying to run BO Crystal Reports XI .rpt files through the Remedy User Tool, I think, and someone correct me if I am wrong, XI is not supported even though the manuals say so, you have to use version 10. Crystal XI is meant to be used when accessing through the Mid-Tier or directly from the browser via the BO Crystal Reports Enterprise Server XI, which will cost your customers some serious cash to stand up due to the fact that SAP is raising the cost of Crystal Reports Enterprise CPU Licenses another 22% in mid June! Anyone who is planning on standing up or buying another CPU license for the Crystal XI Enterprise Server go out an buy your licenses now! I ran into the same issues when testing out Crystal with AR System version 7.1.0 but Crystal version 10 worked for me. I ran into a lot of issues and limitations with using Crystal 10 through the User Client and had to develop a user interface to force feed my SQL parameters through the active links instead of using the actual .rpt file to run the query when using the user client.

All, I just got off the phone with BMC Technical Support and they told me that they do not support nor recommend running Mid-Tier v7.1.0 on top of a 64-bit Java Virtual Machine. The reason why they do not support this is because their engineer's have not completed their testing Mid-Tier 7.1.0 with a 64-bit JVM. They did say that some of their customers are running this configuration anyway and some are not running into any issues but of course could not give me any people to talk too nor any details. This is not good because the first time around I talked to Remedy Support and they assured me that they supported 64-bit OS's and that the server configuration below would handle what we want to accomplish so, confidently I ordered the servers. Now, to my surprise, I caught a sub-clause in their compatibility matrix that said they do not support the 64-bit JVM. This is bad news. I would like to know if there is anyone out there that has this setup (below) or something like it, and I would like to know, if any, what bugs have you experienced with running Mid-Tier over a 64-bit JVM? We plan to run 2 load balanced Mid-Tier servers each with Quad Xeon Intel based processors with 16GB of RAM using Windows 2003 64-bit as the OS and Tomcat as the JVM. We can only use Windows server so UNIX and Solaris are out of the question. We plan to deploy the Mid-Tier to out customer base as part of a front-end customer support website where customers can submit and update their own tickets. We plan to scale the aforementioned server configuration out to about 20,000 customers. Will the 2 Web Servers support that type of environment? Also, with that many customers to be supported could those 2 servers also handle another 100 licensed Support Staff? Are their any other options?

Chris, I figured that much because there is no way the Mid-Tier would outpace the User Client if all were together on one server. Now that this information on what your environment is out there can you tell me 2 more things before I retire tonight: If we are running 2 load balance Web Servers each with: Quad Core Xeon 3.0 with 16GB or RAM as the Mid-Tier Servers, and we are running a third Web server with matching hardware specs with Crystal Enterprise XI 64-bit (SAP said BOXI Ent will run totally 64-bit) then: 1. Will I need to install 32-bit JVM to run the mid-tier Crystal Viewer and a 64-bit JVM to Run Crystal Enterprise XI? 2.

ITSM 7.x - Can you update the Notificiation Preferences of CTM:People recocrds that are marked Non-Support Staff*?
Hello, this is my first time in ARSList. I noticed that in version 7 you can only update the notification preferences for people records that are Support Staff* only! Why is this? I thought that you could update Non-Support Staff people's notifications as well. I read through all of the configuration books and PDF's I could find and found nothing on this. How can I update Non-Support Staff People records notification preferences? If Out-of-Box there is no way to do this is it recommended to make a customization? I found the active link that enables the Update Notification Preferences button on the CTM:People form so that it enables for Non-Support Staff people records will this work or is it more complicated than this? My customers need to be able to update non-support staff people records. Please if someone has done this before could you give me some hints of a workaround or at least a place to start.

Re: ITSM 7.x - Can you update the Notificiation Preferences of CTM:People recocrds that are marked Non-Support Staff*?
Candace, Thanks for your response. What specific type of notifications are you trying to configure for these non-support people? I want to create User notifications for the non-support staff people so that I can turn off the OOB default notifications individually based on if the individual customer does not want to receive certain notifications. Can I do that? I don't necessarily need to change the wording of a notification I just want to allow our help desk staff to turn off some of the individual notifications for Non-Support Staff customer profiles upon request from the customer. So if a customer does not want to receive a Incident Closure notification I can modify their notification list to turn that off only for them. If this is not possible what form connects the Events to the actual filters that fire the notifications so I can get started with these customizations. So far I have found the forms with the NTE: acronym on the form names. These seem to be the back-end forms form the ITSM Notifications but I need help finding the form that connects the Notification Event (NTE:LoadNotifiationEvents form) to the actual filter that fires off the email.

Well, actually if that idea works, it wouldn't really be a 'customization' per se, but more of a data configuration change. Can you test it in a dev environment first? If you have to get down and dirty and build or rebuild custom workflow - then that's a customization. So, don't go tell your management yet - test it out then worry about whether it requires management permission for customization of if it's just something you can deal with at the data level.
