Re: sun4v architecture

2009-09-28 Thread Cesaro, Tony M[EQ]
We are running Oracle and ARS on a standalone T2000 (UltraSPARC T1 8 cores x 4 
threads/core) with 32GB RAM and are running perfectly fine.  Any specific 
questions about strange behavior you are seeing?  We have no quirks running in 
this environment.

Regards,

Tony Cesaro

Is anyone running ARS on a sun4v architecture?  This architecture is
used for the coolthreads boxes (T2000, T5120, T5440, etc.).  Please
let me know if things are working as expected.

Thanks,

Hmm, interesting.  Thanks for the feedback.  Is this a BMC supported 
configuration?

We're working on deploying a similar arrangement.  We decided to do that, 
because the 7.5 Mid Tier has better performance than the 7.1 version, 
especially when recovering from flushing the cache.  In addition, they have 
made some visual improvements in how some GUI elements are rendered in the 
browsers.  For example, page holders now render better - the area to the right 
of the tabs at the top of the table is now the proper background color (the 
color of the page around it and not the color of the tabs below it).

We have updated to MidTier 7.5 p2 but using ARS 7.1 for our AR Application 
Server (should be no big deal).

We found out that our View Fields are acting really strange.  We just use them 
for text (with HTML code) and it seems like the view fields are ignoring the 
HTML code.

For example: on my TEXT form, I have:

PreHTML = 
PostHTML = 
Header 1 = XYZ Company

So when I'm setting the H1 field in my SURVEY Form I put:
($PreHTML$ + $Header 1$) + $PostHTML$

This worked in MidTier 7.0.1 p5, but now it's "ignoring" the html code and all 
the text is off.

Re: ARERR 9351 - Need Help

2009-08-19 Thread Cesaro, Tony M[EQ]
Bruce,

We have the EXACT same environment and we are experiencing the same symptoms.  
BMC support has been no help and has concluded to us that it is a network 
latency issue that we need to resolve ourselves.  This does seem to be related 
to network because I cannot reproduce the errors on my LAN connection with the 
server, while users about 3 states away are experiencing it 3-5 times a day.

Surely there is some sort of timeout threshold (in Tomcat itself or the 
Mid-Tier servlets) that we can tune to make this more tolerable to the latency 
of the data transfer to fill the field with large amounts of data.  I've even 
upgraded Tomcat to version 5.5.27 as recommended in KB doc 20003714, which 
didn't resolve the issue.

Hopefully someone out there has come up with a sure-fire resolution to this one 
as we too have investigated this to no end.  Thanks to anyone who can help us 
out!

Regards,

Tony Cesaro

Subject: ARERR 9351 - Need Help

Hello,

We are experiencing a problem with our mid-tier users in that they get a 5-10 
minute screen lock whenever they try to access the Incident management Console 
by clicking the link on the Home page.  When the screen finally unlocks, they 
get the error:

Unable to setup data connection, which is preventing the application from 
working correctly. (ARERR 9351)

Environment:

ARS 7.1 Patch 7
Oracle 10 (remote server)
Mid-tier 7.1 patch 7 (2 remote servers running Tomcat and IIS6 with a load 
balancer)
Users are browsing with both IE 6 and 7.  We get the error in both.

The problem is intermitent...not everyone is having the problem...those who 
have it don't have it all the time.

Done so far:

Have researched the issue on Remedy's KB...not much information.
Have researched the issue on ARSList...several postings, but no solutions.
Have opened an issue with Remedy support...we seem to just be sending them log 
files.

Have tried to turn on client side logging for users having the issue...with 
logging turned on (setting through Preferences form), the issue completely goes 
away.
Server side logging does not reveal any issues or errors.
Have downloaded and installed Fiddler (a suggestion from the ARSList 
postings)...again, while logging through Fiddler, the issue completely goes 
away.
Have downloaded and installed Firefox 3.5 the issue goes away.

Some things we CAN'T do:

IE is the "official" browser for this company, so Firefox is NOT an option.
The Workflow logging window that opens with client side remedy logging is 
irritating people so that can't be considered a permanent solution.

This is a plea for any insight or solutions from those who have had this issue 
in the past and what you did to resolve it.

Thanks,

Re: Date Time Conversion Issue in Remedy

2009-08-18 Thread Cesaro, Tony M[EQ]
Lisa,

We ended up writing an Oracle function to generate the conversion for us.  I 
have included the SQL source below.  You'll obviously want to change your time 
zone and input date format accordingly.

create or replace FUNCTION GETDATE (a_number number)
 RETURN Date IS
   date_x date;

BEGIN
  if a_number is null then
 return null;
  else
 date_x := new_time(TO_DATE('01/01/1970 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/HH24:MI:SS') 
+ (a_number/86400),'GMT','EDT');
  end if;
RETURN(date_x);
END GetDate;

Tony Cesaro

I'm having a similar issues (details are a little bit different), but how do 
you convert a MM/DD/ HH:MM:SS to epoch time.  We are using Windows 2003, 
Oracle 10, ARS 7.0.1

I've seen lots of info about converting Epoch to a readable date format, but 
not the other way around

** In the database, Remedy stores all date's in integer format (epoch unix 
time).  Perhaps this is your issue?  If you are putting these records directly 
into the database without going through remedy then you need to use epoch time. 
 If you are going through remedy, then I believe its the locale of the server 
but not sure.  (MM/DD/ HH:MM:SS)

Hopefully this helps?

** Hi All,

I have an issue in conversion of Date Time Format which is retrieved by calling 
a stored Procedure from other Database into Remedy

So the workflow is there an Filter which has Set Field Action consisting of 
Webservice where the input and Output Parameters are mapped.So this webservice 
runs on the XMLGATEWAY calling the stored procedure.

There is a form in Remedy which will store the details retrieved from stored 
procedure.The fields in the form are mapped in Xmlgateway Template (Create) and 
Template (Query).

The Template(Create) will create the record in the Remedy Form with the Output 
recieved from the Template(Query) which contains the stored procedure details.

So there are there date time fields which are returned by stored procedure 
having the formats as below : -

Two Date Time fields have format as :- MM/dd/ hh:mm:ss for e.g 4/17/2008 
12:00:00
One Date Time field has format as :-/MM/dd hh:mm:ss for e.g 2008/ 4/17 
12:00:00

So in the Create Template of Xmlgateway i specified the above formats but when 
the record is created in Remedy the other values are captured but the date time 
format fields the value is blank.

When i checked Catalina.out log file found that it is not able to convert this 
date format into Remedy.

So can anyone let me know what format of date time needs to be specified in 
Create Template of Xmlgateway ?

Amey Bhosale
