Re: ITSM 7.6, Incident Management, Service field?

2010-09-08 Thread Bilinski, John CTR WHS/ITMD/ASD
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+.

Hi Charlie,

Are you adding people in the people tab of the service CI? You need to
create a used by relationship to a person or persons before it can
be specified on an incident for that person.

 Through the Incident Management Rules I have made this Service field not
 required.  However, we understand what it is for and we wish to use it.  I
 have a problem figuring out how to define business service CIs that will
 populate this field.  I've went through the Configuration document several
 times and it talks little about defining this field's data source.  I've
 also created business service CIs and no matter how I enable them, map
them
 to company, etc., they still do not show in the dropdown field.

 Could someone give me a tip on how to popular this field?

 Thanks much,

Any suggestions on building workflow to automate tasks with Incident Mgmt 7.6

2010-09-08 Thread Bilinski, John CTR WHS/ITMD/ASD
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.

Re: How to get the Subject line when sending an email that performs a submit action?

2010-08-04 Thread Bilinski, John CTR WHS/ITMD/ASD
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.

Good Luck
- John Bilinski

Subject: How to get the Subject line when sending an email that performs a

Hello,

 
Once configured Incoming box, I send an email to Email Engine like this:

 
 
In the subject line I indicate: This is about incident  INC3173

 
 
In the Body part I indicate:

 
 Schema: BridgeForm
 Server: servername

 Login: Demo
 Password: demopass

 Action: Submit
 !536870914!: some text
 !536870915!: INC3173

 
This generates a new record in ARSystem Email Messages and some minutes
later in 'BridgeForm'. The problem is that I want to have the Subject line
in a field in 'Bridge Form' but I do not find a way to do it. Of course I
cannot say to them to copy the subject again in the body part of the message
when sending. How can I do it? Only fields between !! are generated in
BridgeForm.

 
I have thought in creating a new filter in ARSytem Email Messages to
'Incoming mails on Submit action, that get the subject field and using 
STRSTRC function I get the incident number to do a search later from
BridgeForm, but the problem is that can be more than one email with that
incident number, and getting the last one could not be a good solution
because more than one could have been received at the same time (more that
one with tha same Incident number and the same Create Date).

 
What are you recommendations? How do you get the subject line when receiving
an email?

 
 
Thanks  regards,

Sergio Tomillero

Un-Fragmenting SQL Indexes for ITSM 7.5 + SQL Server 2005

2010-07-27 Thread Bilinski, John CTR WHS/ITMD/ASD
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?

Thanks.

AR System Reports Error on Mid-Tier 7.5 patch 4

All,

I am receiving this error in IE when I try to run an AR System Report (.arr)
over the Mid-Tier v7.5 patch4 using the Report Selection form:

Error during processing : ARERR [9241] Cannot create report directory
Z:\m11c23c11b16\A08DA5F8C06596786A88BCEE8C7EB04A. Please see your

I used the Report Creator in Mid-Tier to create this report, it should be
running. We also have a Crystal report server 2008 integrated with our
Mid-Tier on a separate server and the Crystal Reports run fine. 

Is there a directory I should be granting the Remedy Service Account
permission to on the Mid-Tier server to get this to run? Any ideas?

We are running the OOB Tomcat as our JVM and web server.

Thanks.

Re: AR System Reports Error on Mid-Tier 7.5 patch 4

2010-07-12 Thread Bilinski, John CTR WHS/ITMD/ASD
Joe,

I fixed it. The Z: was a mapped drive that pointed to the Reports Working
directory on my Crystal Server (this was set in the Mid-Tier Config Report
Settings page on the Mid_Tier server). I just changed this path to be the
full windows context path and both the AR System and Crystal Reports are
working. What I find weird about the whole thing is that the Crystl reports
never stopped working, only the AR System reports need this working
directory to intialize. Weird.

Thanks.

Is Z some sort of a network drive? Does the user that runs the Tomcat web

AR System reports when created from the mid-tier, do not require the Remedy

Configuring AR System 7.6 to support a View Form for a remote SQL Server database

2010-06-03 Thread Bilinski, John CTR WHS/ITMD/ASD
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. My system runs on
SQL Server 2005 64-bit, both OS are Windows Server 2003. 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? I think they are
leaving out some important information about how to handle this in SQL
Server. 

Need help.

Subject: Re: Configuring AR System 7.6 to support a View Form for a remote

You have to have the Remedy database be able to read data from the external
(remote) database.  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.

I am receiving a Blank (or grey) screen when trying to access the Atrium

How much Java heap memory is Tomcat using? I recently had to set mine higher
(1024 MB vice nothing set out of the box) to get the CMDB Console to load.
The sample app loaded the graphs and the console almost came up (just a
boring green screen) but never completed. Setting the heap size higher fixed
the problem.

2. find the number of business days between two dates
3. Calculate business hours

report which reflects the time it has taken for a ticket to be resolved.
Basically from assigned to resolved, taking business hours and holidays
into consideration.

 

We run all our reports out of Business Objects where we have also
installed BMC Analytics. There must be some ready built calculations?

 

 

Kind Regards,

Basil Webster

Change Mgmt 7.5 Approval Mapping Limitation Question

2009-09-22 Thread Bilinski, John
All,
 
We are configuring our Change Approval Mappings in ITSM Change Mgmt
7.5.01 and we have come up against a limitation in the Out-of-box
approval mappings. What we are trying to do is create an 'Approval For*'
a custom Role we created in the AP:Role form. OOB Change Mgmt will not
allow us to do this and makes us use the Inherent Groups/Roles (i.e.
Change Assigned Group, Change Manger Group etc..). 
 
To give an example: we wish to create a custom approval role called
AH:Windows and populate this role with with users who do not have the
OOB Change Mgmt Inherent Groups/Roles and use this role in level 3 of
the Implementation phase approval. 
 
Does anyone know how to perform this?
 
Thanks.

Is there a way around requiring a 3rd Tier Product Category

Is there any way to get around having a 3rd Tier for Product

Cat and want to find a way around the required 3rd tier without making a
customization to the ITSM workflow. Does anyone have any suggestions?

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

Qualification Anomaly discovered in Operational/Product Tiered Menus for Incident Managment 7.5.

2009-06-10 Thread Bilinski, John
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:

During the install the installer told me that a minimum of 6GB of RAM is
needed to successful install ITSM 7.5. The installer is still running, I
will be it frozen that the stage Executing install stage for FND system
at 29%. Will my installation be successful? Is there anyone that has

What is the default admin user account for ITSM 7.5?

2009-03-16 Thread Bilinski, John
All,
 
I just installed ITSM 7.5 and I went to log in with the default ITSM
admin account appadmin and it does not exist. I went to the user form
and the only user accounts in the system are:
 
Demo
DMLadmin
DMLDataadmin
 
Without the appadmin account I cannot configure ITSM with the Demo
account. I do not know the default passwords for: DMLadmin or
DMLDataadmin. What happened to appadmin in ITSM 7.5? Is there any
documentation on how to create an appadmin? Also, FYI I did not install
sample data, and I am wondering should I have installed sample data to
get this admin account? 
 
Need help. Thanks.

John,

 

You are correct that the appadmin account doesn't exist in the user
form.  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.  It is up to you.

 

Hope this helps

documentation on how to create an appadmin? Also, FYI I did not install
sample data, and I am wondering should I have installed sample data to
get this admin account? 

 

Need help. Thanks.

Renmaing My Company in ITSM 7.0.3

2009-02-20 Thread Bilinski, John
All,

Is there any harm in renaming the default Company My Company to
something else in ITSM 7.0.3 running on AR Server 7.1? Does the action
of Renaming it in the Company form have a top down effect in updating
the related forms or will other related forms have to be updated as well
to complete the rename? 

Thanks.

AR System 7.1 Cluster and Loadbalancing

2009-02-13 Thread Bilinski, John
 All,

Does anyone know where I can find documentation on installing AR System
7.1 on a clustered and load balanced environment running Windows Server
2003 and MS SQL? I am more interested in the installation of the AR
System application because I am aware that it is not cluster aware.  I
found some documentation but it is dated from when AR System was version
5.5.

Thanks.

SMPM 7.1 for ITSM 7.1 customization questions

2009-02-04 Thread Bilinski, John
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?

Thanks.

I spoke briefly with someone on the SMPM team and they said that the

with a customization manual.  Minimal HTML and Microsoft Visio skills
are needed to customize the licensed Service Management Process Model.

Re: Crystal Reports and Mid-Tier license issue

2009-01-28 Thread Bilinski, John
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.

it uses a license, so even though its the same account being used
everytime any reports are fetched back to back the 10 licenses we have
run out fairly quick before they are dropped.  This causes errors such
as the following:

An Error occured at the Server:  All of your systems 10 concurrent

Oracle 10g vs. SQL 2005 for supporting ITSM 7.1

2009-01-06 Thread Bilinski, John
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. Here are
the 2 databases software's we are looking at supporting:

 - Oracle 10g [Enterprise + RAC] 

 - MS SQL 2005 [Enterprise + RAC]

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.
 
Joe

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.

I am running AR System version 6.03.00 patch 20 with  which was the
patch that came out last year to fix the daylight savings issues caused
by the Bush Administrations switch of the Day light savings time. I am
running on top of Oracle 9.2.0.7.0. A Help Desk Ticket Created at 1:25pm
today and I just looked at the Create Time of the ticket was 12:25pm.
Did I miss another patch that needed to be applied?

Has anyone else seen this today? What should I do to correct this?

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?

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?

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.

Hope this helps

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?

Re: Incident Interface_Create form issues

What is the process in using this form? Are there any KB's with or a
step by step instruction guide to using this form? I see that the Data
Management tool does not work in this case it only does foundation data.

Have you set z1DAction to CREATE??



 Right,

 That is why the workflow behind it looks weird, it should be a merge
 action that creates the Incedents, maybe there is an Incident create
 spreadsheet in the Data Management tool. I am going to look.

 One thing, the import tool, unless they've changed it, uses a merge
 action, not a submit.

 Subject: 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?

 Thanks.

Look at incident management patch 9005. (This is the new data management
tool). It supports process setup and transaction data i.e. help desk
tickets.

Re: Crystal Error:

2008-09-09 Thread Bilinski, John
Thank you.
 
After some more investigation I think the real reason for this is
because the .rpt file was designed in Crystal XI and Remedy User Client
only supports versions 8.5 - 10. I will run the search and also
re-design the report in version 9 to see if that solves the issue.

John - it sounds like your user may be missing a dll - there is a KB
entry on BMC support site 18217 that says:

 

Do a find for this .dll: CRQE.dll (it s/b in the same path as listed
below if not adjust the path as needed.)

Then run the following from your command line to register this dll. 

regsvr32 C:\program files\common files\Crystal
Decisions\2.0\bin\CRQE.dll

 

This may not be exactly what is missing, but that's where I would be
looking.

Hope this helps.

I would not be asking you all this question if it didn't work when I ran
the report from within my user tool but the report works fine for me in
my version 6.3 patch 20 user client. The user that is experiencing this
error has the same exact user client and patch as I and all of the same

have Crystal XI Developer on his computer and I do.

with Remedy 7.x they plan to go to the Mid-Tier where the OLE

off here.

Not an option because nothing is ever easy in the Government! We only

Is it possible to request ITSM Patches/upgrades for Win32 as definition and data files instead of a bundled executable file?

2008-08-26 Thread Bilinski, John

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.

create and relate CI's to customers as well as track the inventory on
the CI's? Does Remedy offer a limited version of this without having to

With purchase of any ITSM module, you get the CMDB, the whole CMDB, and
nothing but the CMDB.  Technically, there ARE forms like AST:Asset that
you can use, but you'll have to customize the app to have them interact
with the other apps.  Sounds like the CMDB forms will do what you want.
I don't think you need to buy Asset licenses to use it - Asset Viewer is
all most people will need.  Do verify that, though.

Hi John,

 

Please keep in mind following conditions, while working with the
prefetchConfig.xml file.

*   The prefetchConfig.xml file must be specified as UTF-8. When
editing the file, do not alter the UTF-8 information. 
*   Do not change the name of the prefetchConfig.xml file. 
*   If you flush the cache in the Configuration Tool, any prefetched
forms you specified beforehand are flushed from the memory cache. The
prefetch process is performed again for these forms the next time the
web server is restarted. 
*   If you specified an invalid form name (for example, if a form
name is misspelled or a form does not exist on the specified server),
that form will not be prefetched. The mid tier log notes the names of
forms that were not prefetched. 

Hope this helps...

Mid-Tier 7.1.0. I got the code off a KB on Remedy's website but I could
not find any version 7 KB's about this. It worked in version 6why
not 7?

Does any one know a script for Spell Check in Mid-Tier 7.1.0 or where to
find one?

Thanks!

I can't get my pre-fetch Configuration to work (Mid-Tier 7.1.0)

2008-07-29 Thread Bilinski, John
I am having an issue with Mid-Tier Pre-fetch:

I have Cache Persistence Enabled and I have Perform Check disabled for
better performance. I am trying to get the Pre-fetch Configuration to
work for my Mid-Tier 7.1.0. I am trying to prefetch the main forms in
ITSM as a test. The homepage is hanging got a lot longer than if I
didn't have pre-fetch enabled. All form names are OOB and have not been
changed. Is there something wrong with my Pre-Fetch Configuration file?

Question: How to create a custom .css file for a Vertical Nav Bar

2008-07-11 Thread Bilinski, John
 All,

I wanted to know if anyone knows how to create a customer Cascading
Style Sheet (.css) for a for where I want to change the colors of the
background inside a Vertical Nav Bar objects as well as the button
colors inside of the Nav Bar? Does anyone know what the object names are
called so I can create the Style Sheet? I want to change the default
background from light Blue to Light Green and the Button color from Blue
to Green. 

Also does my form have to be an Application to attach the .css file and
get it to work or can I just point the form to it and store it on the
server somewhere? If it needs to be within an Application can it be a
Local Application instead of Deployable or does it matter? 

Thanks.

Actually both. I am creating an archive for ITSM Remedy 6.3 requests and
tie it to ITSM 7.x. I wanted to add the same navigation buttons to the
Left side like in ITSM 7x but I wanted the nav buttons to match version

Re: Question: How to create a custom .css file for a Vertical Nav Bar

2008-07-11 Thread Bilinski, John
Kevin,

I just want to change the color of the Vertical Nav bar Object
background and the Button color from its default Blue and Light blue,
but I don't see any options for doing this within the object properties
in the admin tool, it should be within the attributes but there is
nothing. I prefer not to make a style sheet because I want the colors
changed within the client view as well as the web.  

Can you change the colors of a navigation bar? If so what are the
properties in the admin tool to do it.

Thanks

Re: using Web base (Mid tier ) or client

2008-07-09 Thread Bilinski, John
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.

have client installed.

Even some of them use VPN to connect to Remedy at office. I want to
know did any one had any bad experience for having users to use web
remedy instead of installing client.

I have been told that by experience , it is better to use client not

Roger is exactly right. To get there, click on the Requester Console

Click on a record and then check the Change/Incident Data tab for the

Question: Configuring Assignments in ITSM 7.x

2008-06-30 Thread Bilinski, John
Question:

My question has to do with configuring assignments in ITSM 7.x.  Can I
say specify in the Assignment Configuration form for a specific
combination of Operational Category and Product Category ONLY groups A
and B can be assigned to that combination? i.e. limiting the menu on the
Change form for the Change Assignee, Support Group Name+ to only display
Groups A and B when the specified combination of Operational and Product
Category have been selected. 

I tried to get this to work by inputting the values I wanted into the
Assignment Configuration form in 7.x but it did not work, basically I am
trying to get this to work like the SHR:Assignments Groups with Skills
worked in 6.3. 

Does 7.x have this type of functionality?

Re: Question: Configuring Assignments in ITSM 7.x

2008-06-30 Thread Bilinski, John
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.

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

2008-06-30 Thread Bilinski, John
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).

what is the submitter mode for this server(Server information-Licenses

to
modify his ticket. If you'll chage it to Locked he will be able to
change
it. Be careful to change this as it will  effect all server. Refer to
documentation on ARS.

Re: Question: Permission Issues with Infrastructure Change Management 7.x

2008-06-16 Thread Bilinski, John
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. 
 
Thanks for the information.

I have seen something similar when 1)we ran out of float licenses, 2)the
ARS permissions were Read, 3)the EA chaining order was incorrect, 4)the
User/People forms were out of synch, or 5)the license was not being
applied to the user appropriately

 

1  2:  It sounds as though you have these covered.

3:  If you are authenticating, check this setting in the server
information AR Administration Console/System/General/Server
Information/EA tab

4:  The best way to check #4 is to delete the People record, and
completely re-add the person.  Then check the licensing details on both
the people and user forms.

5. Check the license that is being applied to that user when they log
in.  AR Administration Console/Application/'Users/Groups/Roles'/License

Hope that helps,

I am running into some permission issues while I am testing Change
Management 7x. For example I created a user chgmanager. This user has
is in the proper support groups and has the proper functional roles as a
Change Manager and Change Assignee. But when I open certain change
Requests I am getting this error:

ARERR [332] You do not have write access (at create time) to field :
179 

ARERR [333] You have no access to field : 7 then a second error: ARERR
[313] Data types are not appropriate for relational operation:

Field ID:7 is The Status* field but I cannot find 179. What makes me
confused is that the Status* field  is General Access. What gives? 

 

Also when I go to another existing Change Request to update it when I
save the change it gives me this error: 

 ARERR [330] You do not have write access to field :  Address 

Here are the Permission groups my chgmanager user belongs to:

AR Permissions: Floating AR User License.

Has anyone seen these permission errors before? Is there a white paper

Subject: Re: Question: Is anyone out there running Mid-Tier v7.1.0 on a 64-bit 
Windows 2003 OS with a 64-bit JVM?

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.

 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. Will my Mid-Tier if accessed through IE 6 scream passed the user
 tool in terms of performance like you said earlier by 10-15%?
 
 Thank you everyone for your help...seriously!

 No - and  think I barfed up the specs on the AR server two messages ago

 A couple of 32-bit Win2K3 Enterprise servers on older DL380s host AIE

 in the case of CRXI won't run on x64. Every web server except CRXI is

Re: Question: Permission Issues with Infrastructure Change Management 7.x

2008-06-13 Thread Bilinski, John
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. I will download and try to install it unless you have run into
permission errors on Incident or Problem that are like this?
 
Thanks.

Just out of curiosity (I have not started the process of configuring

patch 007 of the ITSM 7 application?  Patch 007 consisted _primarily_ of
fixes to Change Management, so I would not want to even attempt to

Re: 911: ITSM 7.x and Reporting

2008-06-12 Thread Bilinski, John
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. We are going with the Enterprise Server XI
for reporting.

Hello,

Its been a long while that I have been chiseling away at this
mystery.  I can not figure out why this report is not executing in ITSM
7.x.  We are going live and I have all these reports from Crystal XI,
that are not opening in Remedy.  Remedy says this is a customization
so no help.  Even when we tried to copy the OOB reports into a new
record, the new copies did not open when we select Run Report button.
Only the original OOB reports run.  I built an open window action AL,
and the Report still does not run.  There is no qualification for the
report to pass thru the parameter. Does anyone have an idea why the
reports are not opening?  

There were 3 steps:
1. Add .rpt as attachment to Report Form
2. Fill in Category info in Report Form
3. Click Run Report button
 
Am I missing a step?

Question: Is anyone out there running Mid-Tier v7.1.0 on a 64-bit Windows 2003 OS with a 64-bit JVM?

2008-06-12 Thread Bilinski, John
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?
 
Thanks.

Thanks Strauss,
 
What would you rate your Mid-Tier's performance against the User Client
when using, lets say Incident Management as a Support Staff user? 1:2?
1:4? 
 
Also, the support tech I spoke with has no idea when BMC plan's to
support the 64-bit java virtual machines even with version 7.5. This
makes no sense to me because you think that fully supporting a 64-bit
environment would be a priority for an enterprise application right?

I cannot address load balancing or the 64-bit JVM, but I have had very
good performance and stability (knock on wood) with mid-tier 7.1.00.002
on Win2K3 Enterprise R2 x64 using the 32-bit Tomcat 5.5.26 (app server
AND web server) on top of the 32-bit JDK 1.5.0_14.   I give the JVM 1536
mb min and max and a thread stack size of 3000, and I see it using about
900 mb max.  In our environment I have never seen it go over a gig, even
when pre-fetching the ITSM 7 applications, but it sounds like you will
have more load in terms of concurrent users.  Our mid-tier is just
serving 280 support staff users (55 licenses) using the Service Desk in
ITSM 7; the customers hit a Kinetic Request web on the same server which
runs on its own instance of Tomcat 5.5.20 (32-bit).  Hardware is an HP
DL380 G5 with two quad-core Xeons and 12 gb RAM, and it's just loafing.
BTW, the AR Server is also on Win2K3 Enterprise x64 (not R2, DL385, two
dual-core Opterons) using the 32-bit JVM, with memory usage usually 700
mb but it peaks to over 1,290 mb during a prefetch.

Safari is _significantly_ faster than everything else

 

On Vista...

IE 7 is 5-10% faster than the User Tool (7.1.00.002)

Firefox is 10-20% slower than the User Tool

Safari not tested yet

 

These comparisons hold up on XP and Vista running in Parallels on Mac OS
X

 

On the x64 JVM, I would _hope_ that they get some support for it soon,
since it will allow us to handle larger memory loads. I've never gotten
the 32-bit JVM to behave properly when set to higher than 1536 Mb.

Thanks Strauss,

 

What would you rate your Mid-Tier's performance against the User Client
when using, lets say Incident Management as a Support Staff user? 1:2?
1:4? 

 

Also, the support tech I spoke with has no idea when BMC plan's to
support the 64-bit java virtual machines even with version 7.5. This
makes no sense to me because you think that fully supporting a 64-bit
environment would be a priority for an enterprise application right?
Thanks.

I cannot address load balancing or the 64-bit JVM, but I have had very
good performance and stability (knock on wood) with mid-tier 7.1.00.002
on Win2K3 Enterprise R2 x64 using the 32-bit Tomcat 5.5.26 (app server
AND web server) on top of the 32-bit JDK 1.5.0_14.   I give the JVM 1536
mb min and max and a thread stack size of 3000, and I see it using about
900 mb max.  In our environment I have never seen it go over a gig, even
when pre-fetching the ITSM 7 applications, but it sounds like you will
have more load in terms of concurrent users.  Our mid-tier is just
serving 280 support staff users (55 licenses) using the Service Desk in
ITSM 7; the customers hit a Kinetic Request web on the same server which
runs on its own instance of Tomcat 5.5.20 (32-bit).  Hardware is an HP
DL380 G5 with two quad-core Xeons and 12 gb RAM, and it's just loafing.
BTW, the AR Server is also on Win2K3 Enterprise x64 (not R2, DL385, two
dual-core Opterons) using the 32-bit JVM, with memory usage usually 700
mb but it peaks to over 1,290 mb during a prefetch.

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

Re: Question: Is anyone out there running Mid-Tier v7.1.0 on a 64-bit Windows 2003 OS with a 64-bit JVM?

2008-06-12 Thread Bilinski, John
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. Will my Mid-Tier if accessed through IE 6 scream passed the user tool in 
terms of performance like you said earlier by 10-15%?

Thank you everyone for your help...seriously!

No - and  think I barfed up the specs on the AR server two messages ago - 
that's the SQL Server. Three separate machines for most functions.

Mid-Tier, Flashboards, and Kinetic Webs:Win2K3 Enterprise R2 x64 on a 
DL380G5 2 x Quad Core 1.87 ghz Xeon and 12 gb Ram
AR Server, AREmail etc.; all apps except RKM:  Win2K3 Enterprise x64 on a

SQL Server 2005 x64:   Win2K3 Enterprise x64 on a DL385 
2 x Dual Core 2.6 ghz Opteron and 10 gb RAM

A couple of 32-bit Win2K3 Enterprise servers on older DL380s host AIE 7.1 and 
RKM 7.2 on one, and another mid-tier with Crystal Report Server XI just for 
reporting on another. They do not play well with others, or in the case of CRXI 
won't run on x64. Every web server except CRXI is Tomcat internal catalina 
(5.5.20 or 5.5.26); CRXI is on IIS and .NET to stay out of the java world.

ITSM 7.x - Can you update the Notificiation Preferences of CTM:People recocrds that are marked Non-Support Staff*?

2008-06-11 Thread Bilinski, John
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. 


Thanks

2008-06-11 Thread Bilinski, John
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. What are the filter Names? You don't have to
give me all maybe just one or two so I can start my investigation.

Thanks.

The OOB notifications should all be enabled for non-support people to
receive specific notifications based on types of events - assuming that
these people are submitters of tickets.  What specific type of
notifications are you trying to configure for these non-support people?
And what do you want these notifications to say?  It may be that you
will need to build some custom filters to accommodate something
different because OOB, you don't have the ability to update any of the

I have been struggling with some of the limitations of the 7.x OOB

I do not know. You cannot Update the notification preferences for a
Non-Support Staff person in Remedy 7x, the workflow just won't allow you

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.

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

Re: ITSM 7.x - Can you update the Notificiation Preferences of CTM:People recocrds that are marked Non-Support Staff*?

2008-06-11 Thread Bilinski, John
Howard,
 
I will, Remedy support said that the active link that enables and
disables the Update Notification Preferences button based on if the
People record is Support Staff or not on the CTM:People form can be
customized...now that is a start. Now I just need to study the entire
email NTE workflow so I can see how to fit in customizing Non-support
staff notification preferences. 
 
It looks big but I have seen bigger in some custom apps I have had to
customize blindly. I will post full details when I figure it out. If you
figure something out please post as well.
 
Thanks.

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.


Thanks
