PL/SQL function call via set fields.

2008-11-04 Thread Bulls-n-Bears
Greetings ,

we've a small function in Oracle 10g to return a transcoded/hashed
value for its input parameter., and are trying to use it for setting
the transcoded values into the DB.

we're running ITSM 7.0

my filter Set Fields SQL looks like this -

select get_hash('$current_field$') from dual;

the return value is assigned to the current field -

current_field = $1$

But whenever the filter is triggered, I see the following error. Any
idea how to get this fixed?

ARERR [552] Failure during SQL operation to the database : ORA-24374:
define not done before fetch or execute and fetch

My sqlplus prompt gives the correct response value for the function
call using the select statement.

I've checked in SQL Logs that the value of my current_field is being
passed on fine to the select Get_Hast('current value') from dual;.
Doesnt look like null value is a problem,

as the Filter qualification itself filters out null values.

checking out other suggestions on the thread.

 You may want to default the value in your get_hash function in Oracle

 Try something like
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GET_hash (in_value VarChar2 :=
 'somedefault') return VarChar2 is
 for your function definition

 This way if Remedy does not have a value for current_field when you call
 the function it will use the default value

 Another thing you may look at is to see exactly what Remedy is sending
 to the database by looking in the SQL logs.

 Hey B,

 I think this is the same error I get whenever an attempt is made to use
 the SELECT on the first attempt.  But, it works on the second attempt
 and every other attempt until Remedy server is restarted.  The Oracle
 error is basically saying that Remedy is not defining the variable
 before it is getting to Oracle.

 HTH,
 Kelvin

Using Incident ServiceTgt Milestone Notification Action Templates

2008-07-08 Thread Bulls-n-Bears
Greetings,

we're running ITSM 7.0 Patch 002. And are trying to use Action
templates on Milestones. I've NotifyIncidentOwner ,
NotifyIncidentOwnerGroup besides other templates.,  If I'm not wrong
these are OOTB templates. But using them do not generate notifications
on my system when milestone is met.

If I use Custom - Alert or Email Action , with email Id fixed or use
a new Action template with Alert or Email Action defined, Both of them
are generating notifications , which was expected.

I believe the workflow being triggered for using the Role Based
Notification ., e.g., NotifyIncidentOwner , NotifyIncidentOwnerGroup
needs to be looked into for isolating the problem. Is there a doc to
help me with the sequence of workflow that's triggered and help me
nail down the problem ?

One thing I could figure is usage of filter guide
HPD:INC:NotificationGenerator sets notification into NTE:SYS-NTProcess
Control . How do I debug from here?  Is the nofication triggered on an
escalation ? or from a Notify action from a filter?

Cheers, TIA

Re: Using Incident ServiceTgt Milestone Notification Action Templates

2008-07-08 Thread Bulls-n-Bears
Lisa, That was a very detailed response. The behaviour I'm noticing
could well be a defect.

BTW, where do I access the details of the defects you've listed
here ?

I've got my hands on a document from here . This may be of help ., if
you haven't got this yet.

http://developer.bmc.com:8080/jiveProd/thread.jspa?messageID=73039#73039

Here's the behaviour I'm seeing on my system :

1) Action Templates for Role Based Notifications do NOT work
2) Using To/CC/BCC from Owners Menu Item on Custom Templates or
Templates based on that do NOT work. I've two entries  defined in
SLM:ConfigSLMOwners form for Owners menu item, with mixture of valid
email ids and user IDs.
3) Custom Actions or Action Templates based on Email or Alert work
as expected.

Is there any relevant defect info/ documentation that I can access?

Cheers, BnB.

 Without explaining every detail of some key SLM challenges, I thought it
 may be useful to share some of the results of what we have encountered
 with the SLM application and hopefully save you some time.  If you need
 further details, please let me know.

 1.  The OOTB templates did not work for us either.  We had to create
 identical templates for our milestones, actions, etc, that did exactly
 what the OOTB ones did for them to work.  I have seen on more than 1
 occasion that OOTB templates in general have lost their data connections
 and do not work as expected (i.e. People templates, SLM templates).

 2.  There is not a document that explains the notification structure,
 nor what the 'Message' tags do exactly.  We asked about specific ones
 and got answers to them, but are still searching for additional
 information.  (i.e. ESCALATEDBYOLA, ESCALATEMGRASSIGN). I'm not sure how
 this ticket is flagged, but this is the one we have open with BMC to get
 some of the answer on the SLM tags:  SW00268723

 3.  We have been unsuccessful over the last 2 months to get any custom
 email action to work.  We tried the same thing as you did - mailing a
 specific address - which doesn't work.  We decided this was fine as long
 as the message tags in #2 notified the expected people, so no additional
 ticket was opened for our client.  

 4. The notifications you do receive may be missing some data (i.e.
 Status, Summary), and there is a partial fix for this from BMC, so don't
 waste too much time troubleshooting that one.  Known Bug:  SW00285647

 5. SLM Viewer permissions do not work as documented.  This is a known
 bug:  SW00283951

 6. Service Target Metrics report does not display the incidents that
 make up the group percentages.  This is an open bug: SW00299164

 7. SLM notifications do not consider the Business Hours of the support
 group.  This is a known defect: SW00268723

 8. SLM notifications do not consistently consider on-call paging times
 of support staff.  This is still being investigated with BMC.

 9. SLM Last Acknowledged Date on an incident is not set consistently.
 BMC is working on explaining when this should be set so we know if it's
 working or not.

logs are reaching 2.0 G and not taking any more log messages.

we havent configured the log size limit from Admin tool. Is there
anyway I can configure the system to keep pumping more log messages ?
or rotate the logs ? move after limit reached and use new one etc?

 If you turn on rotating log files, you can backup the file at an interval
 that makes sure you does not loose data.


Could you please tell me how I can do this ?

 Hi,

 I just saw the same thing at a customer site. The maximum file size seems
 to be 2 GB on their Unix-server. Maybe this limit can be increased on the
 OS level?

 If you turn on rotating log files, you can backup the file at an interval
 that makes sure you does not loose data.

 You can then remove any duplicate rows by looking at the previous backup
 file.
