Re: Can we change char size of Organisation field across ITSM

2012-07-13 Thread David Sanders
Do NOT attempt to change the data in the field_char view manually.  This will 
certainly cause issues.  If you change the length of the Organization field in 
the 361 forms where it occurs, this change will be reflected automatically in 
the meta data.

Subject: Re: Can we change char size of Organisation field across ITSM

Hi,

According to the observations so far, we cannot modify the character size of 
the mentioned fields using the remedy application. The field 'Organization' is 
on the 361 forms with the same database field ID.

Though it may be possible that we can update it at database level, but the same 
operation needs to be performed on each form.

For this we have 'AR System Metadata:field_char' form, where all the meta-data 
related to character fields are stored. 

It’s a view form. We need to update the meta-data, the related record in order 
to achieve this. But this option is not tried and tested, as it may cause the 
severe malfunction at DB level.

Subject: Can we change char size of Organisation field across ITSM

hi All,

I have a requirement where I need to change the char size of Organisation field 
in ITSM from 60 to 254 chars. Is there any way where we can do this in one 
place and it would reflect in all 300+ forms where this field is used. 

It would be a bad task to do manually, do anyone know a tweak for this or 
perhaps a utility for the same. There are 4 -5 such OOTB widely used fields 
which we need to increase size of.

Thanks in advance,
Vikram

I just now tried the Firefox 13.0 beta as well as 12.0 and still see the
handles, so it's probably something they changed with ARS 7.6.x.

Benny's suggestion about customizing CSS is an idea, but since it sounds

Re: is it after hours?

2012-04-24 Thread David Sanders
Hi Mark

 

Use the business time add functionality to add 0 seconds to your time.  If
it is in business hours you will get back the same date/time.  If it is
outside business hours you will get back the start of the next business
hours segment.  So if the dates are different, you are outside working hours

 

Something like Application-Bus-Time-Add "startTime" "0" "1"
"holidayScheduleName" "workdayScheduleName"

Hi All,

 

Currently when an incident is created I have a filter that sets the day of
the week, and hour of the day. Then there is a second set fields that 'Check
Date' =  $DATE$ and then checks this against the Business Time Holiday. If
it is a holiday then sets the 'Holiday' field to Yes. Then there is an
escalation that sends a notification under certain conditions including

 

(Week >1 AND Week <7) AND (Hour > 8 AND Hour < 18) AND Holiday = NULL

 

I am thinking I can use business time and reduce all of this down to one

Would be grateful for any suggestions.

Re: Transferred Object "Last Changed" Value Set to Timestamp

2012-04-12 Thread David Sanders
Hi Doug

 

I *think* he is referring to importing workflow objects, not form data.  The
modified date is indeed set to the current date in that situation.  

 

Even more annoying for me is when working with Application objects, adding a
new form to the Application resets the last modified time for *all* forms in
the Application.  If you are trying to track changed objects by when they
were last modified, for example to prepare a delta definitions file, this
'feature' is really troublesome.

Subject: Re: Transferred Object "Last Changed" Value Set to Timestamp

 

** 

Everyone,

 

If you use the Import Tool, simply map the "Last Modified Date" and "Last
Modified User" fields from

the source to the target.  It uses the ARMergeEntry() call and if those
fields are supplied, the AR System

Server will retain them and not set these fields to the current values.  If
not mapped, they will set these

fields to the current values.

 

Now, I would expect you to be able to map these values as well when using
other transfer sources

like Migrator.  IF this is not possible, then there is a limitation in the
product and you should definitely

send in a problem report so it can be addressed.

 

I import data all the time from old sources all the time and the dates and
names are all retained as I map

all fields into the system.

 

Take a look at the fields you are mapping and add these if they are not
defined.

 

Again, if you cannot include these fields in the mapping for some transfer
mechanism or if you do and

the values are not retained, then there is a problem that needs reporting
and fixing.

 

I know the Import Tool does the right thing because it is working for me.
So, you could use the Import

Tool to import the data with these fields mapped to get the data transferred
correctly today even if

there is a problem with another tool.

 

I hope this helps,

 

Doug Mueller

Folks,

 

My transfers from a 6.3 server to a 7.1 server via Migrator 7.1.00 p006 set
the Last Changed Time on each imported object to the time of creation on the

but the same thing happens when definitions that have the correct date are
imported via the 7.1 Admin Tool.

 

Any ideas?

You probably want to consider what is going to happen when things aren't
working and what you can account for.  Message queue syatems handle most of
these issues about as gracefully as anything.  I've looked at xmlgateway for
that reason in the past.  You also need to make sure that the midtier's web
service implementation is capable of handling the xml documents sent to the
midtier.  Xmlgateway can address shortcomings in this area as well.

An intermediate form would be a better strategy -- lots of "real life"
things happen when you go over the web. (ServiceNow slow, ServiceNow down,
ServiceNow upgrading) - those are 3 simple examples.

 

And -- that happens to all programs -- not just ServiceNow.

 

In addition -- RARELY do fields map 1 to 1 very nicely -- and they will
change overtime anyway - so an intermediate strategy would be better.

 

Now -- the best option (IMHO) -- use Kinetic Task -- it is the intermediate
strategy - but is done in a configuration approach -- avoiding additional
customization in your ARS.

 

 

In addition - Kinetic Task is just as comfortable with REST APIs as Web

You probably want to consider what is going to happen when things aren't
working and what you can account for.  Message queue syatems handle most of
these issues about as gracefully as anything.  I've looked at xmlgateway for
that reason in the past.  You also need to make sure that the midtier's web
service implementation is capable of handling the xml documents sent to the
midtier.  Xmlgateway can address shortcomings in this area as well.

Sean,

 

An intermediate form would be a better strategy -- lots of "real life"
things happen when you go over the web. (ServiceNow slow, ServiceNow down,
ServiceNow upgrading) - those are 3 simple examples.

 

And -- that happens to all programs -- not just ServiceNow.

 

In addition -- RARELY do fields map 1 to 1 very nicely -- and they will
change overtime anyway - so an intermediate strategy would be better.

 

Now -- the best option (IMHO) -- use Kinetic Task -- it is the intermediate
strategy - but is done in a configuration approach -- avoiding additional
customization in your ARS.

 

 

In addition - Kinetic Task is just as comfortable with REST APIs as Web
Services. this may become important to you as you interact with ServiceNow
(or any of the modern SAAS solutions).

Hi John,

 

Interesting that you say this.

 

I saw an issue where an ITSM 6 had its ARS upgraded to 7.1 and this issue
popped up as prior to 7.1 the groups values were as you describe (but not on
every record!).  Problem was fixed with a 5 minute Meta-Update script to
update said records into the correct format.

 

Since 7.1, ARS enforces the group list fields syntax so that "%;x;%" will
work.

** Just wondering - what if your group is at the beginning?

 

Or - at the end..

 

$GROUPS$ like "%;100140;%" 

 

I think the above query assumes your group is in the middle of a group list?

 

So - you would have to do something like:

 

$GROUPS$ like "%;100140;%" OR $GROUPS$ like "100140;%" OR $GROUPS$
like "%;100140" 

 

I am not positive -- just mentioning.

 

I did do something similar to this recently - and I did have to consider the

Re: Escalation trigger filters without modifying records?

2012-02-10 Thread David Sanders
Hi Brien

What you are describing is definitely *not* a normalized data structure as
you are storing and maintaining the linked data in your main form... but
leaving that aside.

The suggestion from Fred would work for small data volumes, but as soon as
you are updating larger volumes you will have performance problems and hit
the AR server filter limit, so assuming you still need the scheduled
escalation to sync your data...

Create your own Modified Date and Last Modified By fields and set values in
these fields through a filter when the record is created or modified where
$USER$ != "AR_ESCALATOR".  Then in your form display your custom fields
instead of the core fields.

If your "normalization" happens on every save of the record then are you
having to run thru them on a schedule to update them because something
somewhere else changed?

i.e.  If you are setting a Name field in Form AAA on save, are you trying to
keep that Name field in sync with a Name somewhere else (like on Form BBB)?
I would look at trying to detect when the source of Name (Form BBB) is
changed and force the related records (Form AAA) to update at that time.

Subject: Escalation trigger filters without modifying records?

I've got a lot of filters that do some "normalization" by setting some key
fields via a lookup.  This might be a bad idea, but I generally create
escalations that do some tidying up-- they just blast through all the
records and update a trigger field to trigger the modify filters.  
Having all the records "last modified by AR_ESCALATOR" is starting to
irritate some of my colleagues, so I'd like to stop doing this.  Any
thoughts?  I've tried several ways to get an escalation to trigger the
modify actions without actually modifying the record-- without any success.
I also definitely do not want to duplicate the code in the modify actions
and copy them into the escalation.

Thanks!

Re: Overlay and Applications

2012-01-13 Thread David Sanders
Hi Fred

I agree, it is possible to build a fully-normalized data structure in
Remedy, although it is not easy to do and is not 'encouraged' by the admin
tool/dev studio.  If you have a search menu on your form, your data
structure is probably not normalized.

For example, in Remedy to link a person (contact record) to an expenses
record for instance, you would normally add a field to the Expenses record
to store the contact name, and add a menu that queries the contact table to
populate it.  That is not normalized as it is storing the contact name in
the expenses record.

The 'normalized' Remedy version of this would be to store a foreign key for
the contact record, and have an active link fire on display to pull back
data from the contact record into display-only fields.  So, in Remedy to
normalize this simple structure you need to add both display-only fields and
workflow to populate them.  That's inefficient and a lot of extra effort.

The more complicated your application the larger this overhead becomes and
it quickly becomes unmanageable.

In Mendix you define an association between the 2 entities (contact and
expenses) and define it to be 1 to 1, 1 to many or many to many.  You can
then display any data from the contact record in your expenses form using
the association without any additional workflow. The association is
displayed as a drop-down menu or a pop-up select form as needed. (In the
database the association is actually stored in a third table containing the
foreign keys of the two records that are linked, but this is hidden from the
developer and managed by the API).

So in Remedy, you have to try really hard to normalize a data structure; in
Mendix, the reverse is true and you would have to write extra code to
de-normalize the structure.

Good Question...

They seem to like to deal only with the academic generalities and
refuse to roll up their sleeves and do the real work.
I was fortunate do my ITIL Masters with one of the original founders
of ITIL.  He intimated that their goal was to provide
a blueprint with general guidelines that could be adapted to various
organizations; therefore, to actually get into the
details would deter from their "prime directive"; ergo, organizations
like "Pink Elephant" and guidelines like "Pink Verify".

Maybe in time as ITIL V3 matures - there will be more conclusive
guidelines.

Re: AL Guide stalls on first Save but not on second

2011-01-13 Thread David Sanders
Hi James

Note that the logs extract you include is showing the On Modify actions
check - that is an update/save to an existing entry, not the saving of a New
entry (that would be shown in the logs as On Create actions).  To make sure
the workflow fires when you save a new record, make sure that the active
link that calls the guide is set to fire on both the Submit and Modify
events.

Subject: AL Guide stalls on first Save but not on second

 

Dear List,

We have a Form that goes thru a rather lengthy process when saving an
existing entry.  It used to run thru to completion.  But now it gets to an
AL Guide and stops with the "Save" button still activated.  The work log
shows:

Checking  -- perform if actions

0: Call Guide

Guide: 

--1-Stop active link processing - On Modify

Exiting Guide : 

Stop active link processing - On Modify

Workflow Trace Log - OFF

None of the links in the guide fire.

 

BUT if you click "Save" again all the links in the guide fire and the
process runs to completion, with the "Save" button de-activated.

So why would a process die at the beginning of a guide after the first save,
but then work fine after the second save?  It isn't because nothing has
changed the second time.  If you add some data to a field it still saves OK.

Any ideas?

Re: Remedy 7.6 OOB Modify Web Service

2010-11-18 Thread David Sanders
Hi Kali

 

Are you sure?  That sounds unlikely.  

 

I don't have the application to look at, but let me guess.  Are you using
SoapUI or something similar to test the web service?  If so, it generates a
sample request for you and populates all the elements with a "?".  You
should replace these with your data, or delete them if not needed.  These
values are not generated by the published web service.

Re: DST and Escalations

2010-11-16 Thread David Sanders
Hi John

 

To avoid these sort of issues with DST you should not schedule time
sensitive escalations between 12 midnight and 2 AM.

 

What actually happens in the Fall is that the time goes to 1 AM, then
changes back to 12 midnight.  So, Remedy's behavior was correct - it fired
at 1 AM, then fired again at 1 AM - there were 2 x 1 AMs that day.  Looking
back from after the DST change, the first 1AM 'looks' like 12 midnight, but
at the time it occurred it was 1 AM.  To avoid this you need to schedule
your escalation to run after 1 AM, for example 1:07 AM.  There will never be
more than one of those. but there could be none - see below.

 

In the spring, the clocks go to 1AM, then jump to 2AM, so any escalations
scheduled between 1 and 2 AM will be skipped.

 

The solution is to schedule your escalations to occur before midnight or
after 2 AM if this is a concern to you.  That way there will always only be
one occurrence per day.

Re: Statement of Direction regarding EOL of Remedy User client has been amended.

2010-07-23 Thread David Sanders
Hi Shawn

 

The Copy-to-New functionality is not intelligent - it does not know what
fields you may or may not need clearing out to avoid problems with your
application data.  However, it is easy to add this intelligence by creating
an active link that fires on the event Copy-to-New for each form that sets
the appropriate fields to $NULL$.  If these active links do not exist in the
application you are using, you should put in an enhancement request.

David,

 

I'm aware of that, however, the last time I tried to use Copy to New on
something like an Incident from the Windows User Tool, it copied over some
fields that it shouldn't have (I think a GUID or something) and it didn't
work.  It's been a while since I tried that, but at least it didn't used to
work consistently for ITSM.  I think that's why the "Copy Change" item
exists in Change Management as well.

Re: Escalation or Filter

2010-07-01 Thread David Sanders
Hi Mark

 

There should be no difference.  I would prefer to use the escalation to
trigger a filter to do the push, as that allows you to insert validation
workflow etc. if needed.  However, in both cases all the activity takes
place on the escalation thread, so you cannot 'offload' activity to other
threads to improve performance.

It's built on the same software as stackoverflow.com, a hugely popular site
where over seven million programmers help each other with difficult

answer, so the answer you want is usually right at the top, not on page

This is not correct Anne.  You can have multiple active outgoing mailboxes,
but only one can be the default outgoing mailbox.  To use the others, you
need to set up workflow to set which mailbox to use for each mail sent in

Hi,

I think that only one active outgoing mailbox can be active at any time if
the Email Server Name are the same. Which it usually are.

To fool the system, you can differentiate the configuration records with
aliases.

For example:
mail.rrr.se
mail

Or you can edit your local hosts file and add as many aliases you like.

don't log into several servers at the same time.

Subject: Admin tool crashing

Has anyone ever encountered this before?

I am getting the following errors error every time I try to save a new
object to the server from my Admin Tool or copy an existing object by doing
a Save As :

ARERR 303
ARERR 320
ARERR 323
ARERR 346
ARERR 366

Then it crashes my Admin tool. It does not matter what server I try it on it
happens on every server. Now here is the funny part, when I go restart my
Admin tool the object is on the server and fine so it is not lost but I
don't understand why it keeps crashing on saving a New object or Save As
object. I can update existing objects (Filters, Active Links, Forms, etc.)
and no issues but when I try to add a new Filters, Active Links, Forms, etc.
I get this error and my admin tool just crashes.

According to the Error Messages Guide this error means that one of two
conditions exists
"I am on the wrong server", which I can see how that is even possible since
I am only logged on to one server or
"no object by that name exists", well since I creating the new object of
course it would not be on the server

This is not happening to anyone else on my team so it is isolated to my
desktop only. I also have verified that there is not a space issue on our
Oracle database and our server so that is not the issue.
I am at my wits end trying to figure out why this is happening  or how to
correct this.

I am running Admin Tool 7.1.00 Patch 008. We also use MS SourceSafe 2005. I
uninstalled all my Remedy apps (User, Migrator, and Admin tool, etc.). I
even uninstalled my SourceSafe app. I cleaned my registry and made sure
there was no trace left of Remedy or SourceSafe on my desktop. I then
rebooted and reinstalled them again and still I am having this issue. This
just started to happen last week and I am pulling my hair out trying to get
this resolved.

Environment:
Remedy Server Version: 7.1.00 Build 200708221849
Database: Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi

Re: Table Looping Oddity....

2010-03-01 Thread David Sanders
Hi Lisa

 

I think your problem is table refreshes.  You have 2 choices - either do not
perform a table refresh on the table until the looping guide has completed,
then perform your table refresh afterwards

 

Or, perform a table refresh as part of the workflow, but set the row
selected to the first row in the table with a set fields action.

 

I think what is currently happening is that you delete row one, refresh the
table field which moves row 2 up to row one, then the table loop moves on to
row 2, so the current row 1 (which started as 2) never gets processed, etc.

ARS 7.1 P7

Windows 2003

Oracle 10g

 

I have the most oddest table looping problem and I'm going cross eyed
looking through all of the workflow logs to see what's wrong (and I can't
find anything).

 

If anyone has an AH HA, would you let me know?

 

I have 2 tables.  The first one I have a list of records and the table loop
(on a button action) simply sets some fields and pushes them to another form
(using an Active Link Guide).  I have a 2nd table that does the same thing
(different button) that sets some fields and pushes them to another form
also using and Active Link Guide.


The only real difference between the two tables is that when an "action"
happens on the records of the second table, the status of that record is
changed and the record gets "deleted" off of the table via the table query.


 

What happens is the table loop on the 2nd table is only doing half the
records.  So if I have a table of 100 records, it will loop through every
record, but only set the fields of half of them (50).  If you push the
button again, it will loop through every record on the table (which is 50
now) but only set fields for 25, and so on and so one until you only have
one record left and you have to hit the button to do the last record.

 

When I look at the workflow, I see that halfway through the table loop it
just sets the fields to blank and then nothing happens because the push does
not happen.  It's so weird!

We started seeing very intermittent problems with the User Tool not
responding while testing 7.5.00.003a, mainly with the Incident Console and
form.  This may have coincided with the recent update of Adobe Flash Player,
as well.  It became a problem across the board after we installed
7.5.00.004.

 

Today I put 7.5.00.003a on a Vista vm with the older (Oct 2009) Flash
Player, and it loaded ALL consoles, no problem.  As SOON as I updated it to
patch 004, it would hang immediately on Incident, Problem, Asset, CMDB,
sometimes Change.  It still opens the Admin Consoles, SLM, AIE, Approval,
RKM (anything NOT part of ITSM) without hanging - these have never been
prone to hanging in any version.  Updating the server to 7.5.00.004 from 003
did not help.  It even hangs on the User Tool that is locally installed on
the AR Server. which doesn't even have Flash installed.

 

Anyone else seeing similar issues?

 

We have seen the problem with clients on:

XP Pro Sp3

Vista Ultimate Sp2

Windows 7 Ultimate

Windows Server 2003 Ent x64 Sp2

Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent x64

AFAIK, all Remedy apps can only use a 32-bit JVM currently.  I have tried
loading Dev Studio on a 64-bit server with loads of memory - same issue.
Remedy Admin tool (also 32-bit) handles the def files with no problems.

I can not make up my mind if I like it or not! I am sorry if this has been

debated up and down in the past on the arslist?

 

 

 

I find it quicker, faster and more effective to work within the old Remedy

Administrator. There is some nice functionality within Remedy Developer

Studio but in general everything takes longer time. Well - my fingers are

more used to the Admin tool. Even so - I got better control and things are

done quicker the "old fashion way".

 

 

 

It might be the displays! At home I got two 24" displays. At work I am only

given one 17". Working in the Studio is more fun then - it almost requires

some big screens to work with. Still - my preferred tool is Remedy Admin.

 

 

 

Am I the only one who finds the transition to the Studio difficult? It is

making the ARS platform more up-to-date but I think the Studio got a good

way to go before it provides a good development environment. 

 

 

 

All the best

You mean you need all text after the occurrence of the first - (hyphen
character)

 

If so your function would look somewhat like (assuming that a field called
zfield contains that text)

 

LPAD(SUBSTR($zfield$, STRSTR($zfield$, "-")+1 ))

 

You do not need the second parameter for SUBSTR as you want it get
everything after "-". LPAD is added for an extra measure to remove all
trailing blank spaces..

 

Hope this helps..

Do you mean you wanted to pick out only the string "123" from the whole

If so you can do that by a nested function use of SUBSTR with STRSTR.. How
you use it purely depends on what really would be the contents of the entire

Re: DST Issues

2010-01-08 Thread David Sanders
Hi Lisa

This is the Remedy equivalent of relativity theory.  What date/time you see
depends upon your current date/time as far as DST is concerned.  Let me try
to explain.

Dates in Remedy are stored as epoch time - the number of seconds since 12AM
1/1/1970 GMT.  When you set your regional settings, you are identifying an
offset from GMT that the client uses to display the date/time in your
current timezone.

When DST kicks in, effectively, your offset from GMT is changed by one hour.
For example, you might now be 7 hours behind GMT instead of 8 hours behind.
All dates are then displayed in the new timezone offset.

When you look at date/times in the future, you are looking at them from your
current timezone offset, so dates after DST kicks in will appear one hour
out.  Later in the year, these dates will be displayed correctly, but dates
from before the DST change will be displayed one hour out the other way.

The Remedy client makes no attempt to apply a different timezone offset to
past or future dates when it displays them - it always uses the current
defined offset.

So, in other words, I think your date/time calculations are correct, and by
the time you get to May or August, those times will be displayed correctly.

Not sure if this is the same thing (we are NOT dealing with Business Time in
this scenario), but wanted to see what people were doing in this situation.

I have an On Call System that allows the user to create multiple records if
they are on call every XX number of days.  So if someone were to type in a
Start Date of 2/2/2010 12:00:00 AM and an End Date of 2/3/2010 12:00:00 AM
and add multiple records every 100 days for 3 times, I get:

Start 2/2/2010 12:00:00 AM  End 2/3/2010 12:00:00 AM  
Start 5/13/2010 1:00:00 AM End 5/14/2010 1:00:00 AM

Start 11/29/2010 12:00:00 AM  End 11/30/2010 12:00:00 AM

(I'm adding 60 * 60) * 24) * $Day Interval$) * $IntervalCounter$) to the
Start Date and End Date)

We understand WHY this happens, but wondering what people do about this? 
Once March 14th rolls around, the times in May and August will still be
1:00:00 AM correct?  (the customer wants 12:00:00 AM)

I checked the database (hoping that in the DB it was correct and the it was
only displaying in the client differently) but the Database is also showing
these dates and times.

We are thinking about creating a separate table to clarify DST Dates and
Times and if a date falls on a certain date and time, subtracting or adding
an hour to the Start Date or End Date.  UGH!

One bit of functionality that was changed somewhere between v4 and v7.5 was

Hi folks,

Our client is planning to upgrade a custom application from 4. 3 to 7.5 on
AIX platform with Oracle database.

If we export the def files from v 4.3 and import them into 7.5 can we view
the application as is in the newer version ? Will all the workflow work as
it used to work ?
or Is there a need to rebuild the whole application in the new version?

Did you implement this before on any other platform other than AIX ? If yes,
did you face any potential issues ?



this might sound pretty silly question but haven't done this before.

Appreciate your response.

Re: Developer Studio error...

2009-12-15 Thread David Sanders
Hi Richard

 

I have not found any documentation relating to this, but just poked around
and tries changing settings.  I think the Decompression error is still
memory-related.  See if you can increase the heap size some more and try
again.  If you increase it too much, Dev Studio will eventually not launch -
at that point you know you have increased it to a larger value than the
available memory, so you need to reduce it again.

Go to the devstudio.ini file in the install directory (something like

increase the max memory allocated.

 

-vmargs

You must keep the memory to a proportion (~70%) of the free memory

Hi All

 

Here is a link to a small free application download to demonstrate a
data-driven approach to field data auditing which I hope will be of use to
some of you.

 

The sample application demonstrates how changes to field data can be
recorded. Rather than creating separate filters for each field to be
audited, the application uses a data-driven approach where fields can be
added to or removed from the list being audited without requiring any
workflow changes. 

The audit of data changes can either be stored in an Audit Trail (diary)
field on the data record, or stored as separate change records in a Change
Log form. 

Only changed fields are audited for each transaction, and the audit log
produced includes the user who made the change, time of the change, as well
as the original and changed field values. All audited changes in a single
transaction are included in a single log entry, rather than a separate entry
for each field being changed. 

The documentation provided with the sample application explains how to add
this field data auditing functionality to any existing Remedy data form.

Subject: Re: Push Field Question

Mark,

It has been a while since I looked at this specific detail of how ARS
work flow deals with diary fields. So I am working from memory and it
is a bit crusty...

I think
 If the user updates the field with a new entry then only the new
entry is sent in the Push action.
 If the user does NOT update the field then the whole field's contents are
sent.

And I vaguely think that there may also be differenece in how Active
Links vs Filters deal with this condition too. ( AKA: Maybe the above
logic was for Active Links and not filters? )

And you may even find difference in specific versions/patches over the
years too.

As others have suggested, I think the best way to control this is to
capture the data in a separate field and have work flow append it to
the Diary field when necessary. That design approach will allow you to
be able to maintain an independent control over just the new content
as part of the transaction.

However, if you are designing around how an ARS Diary field works,
then maybe it is time to stop using them? (Like BMC appears to have
done in the latest versions of their applications.)

Hi Rick

 

I use this process in active links with no problem (with a regular field ID,
not 102).  I don’t know about CTM:People, but it confirms that the password
entered matches the current user’s Remedy password, whether that be stored
in the User form or authenticated via AD.  You can only test it using YOUR

Subject: Client Tool can't connect to ARServer 7.5

 

Hi,

 

We just installed ARS Server 7.5 on a Windows Server 2008. We installed it
to use Portmapper, but when trying to login using User Tool, we get:

 

Error [90]  Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System server

 

We are able to ping the server from the local computer so there's a
connection between the comp and the server.

 

Since we are using Portmapper, is there a way to find out which port
ARServer is listening to? I tried to run netstat -a on the server but it
gave a lot of results and i don't know which port is actually being used by
ARServer.

Re: Real to Integer Comparisons

2009-10-10 Thread David Sanders
Hi Alex

You could add a new integer field to your form, and add a filter with a Set
Fields action to set the value of SequenceNumber to the new integer field.
This field will then always contain just the whole number part of your
sequencing number.

Subject: Real to Integer Comparisons

Hi.

The client has a set up where they have a field called SequenceNumber.  This
field is a decimal number set to a precision of 2.

The reason for this is because they have "subsequence numbers", that is it
goes like 1, 2, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.

The entries are being grouped by whole number, that is 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3
would belong to one group.  But how to check for such numbers?

One idea that I floated was to use the TRUNC function to get the numbers to
round down.  Then compare the sequence numbers against the truncated number,
if they are between the truncated number and the number + 1, then that is a
record that you're looking for.

The problem that I have is that such a comparison is likely to trigger a
type mismatch error.  Comparing a real to an integer is not supported in any
ARS, is it (I'm using 6.3)?

Anybody got any ideas on how to do this?

Subject: List of Mid-Tier 7.5 shortcomings

 

Let's compile the current shortcomings of the mid-tier 7.5, and the reasons
why heads-down Remedy users still use the Remedy User Tool RUT):

- Speed (yes, the RUT is still faster; blame it on IE 7.0, but that is still
a fact)
- Issues with the Internet Explorer cache
- Mid-Tier pre-caching is buggy and too complex (you need to specify several
user profiles and forms)
- Browser time-out issue and need to re-login.
- Browser windows freezing or hung
- Exporting data
- ODBC connections
- Recent searches and my searches
- Recently opened forms and recently saved requests
- Ability to create shortcuts in the desktop for forms, searches and
individual tickets
- Ability to email individual shortcuts to forms, searches and individual
tickets
- Multiple browser windows. This can be alleviated with tabbing, but still
an issue
- Need for the Remedy admin to properly save forms so that pop-ups are
properly sized
- Ease of workflow logging with the User Tool (this is for the
developer/admin to troubleshoot)
- Ease of data entry with the option "Keep Previous Field Values on New"

Anybody please feel free to add to this list. BMC had to address this issues
before users stop using the Remedy User Tool. Otherwise, a lot customers
will simply not upgrade past ARS 8.0/ITSM 8.0.

Re: Deploying forms

2009-09-25 Thread David Sanders
Hi Victor

The way I normally do this is to import the form to the destination server.
Then open the application properties (right-click and select properties) and
add the new form to the application.  Then import the form a second time,
and this time the permissions will be correctly retained.

If you have an orphaned form you can perform the same operation if you have
it as part of the application on a second server so you can export a def
with the correct permissions.  Otherwise you need to add it to the
application, then manually set the permissions.  

To make this easier, open the application object and set the default
permissions you want, then for each field on the form you can just click the
Set Defaults button.

Re: Pre-fetch Configuration

2009-08-06 Thread David Sanders
Hi Christie

 

Have you restarted Tomcat after flushing the cache?  If you restart Tomcat
and run performance monitor, you should see a high level of activity for a
few minutes while the cache is rebuilt.  If you do not restart Tomcat, the
chache for each form is only built when it is accessed for the first time
(the same as if you have no prefetch configured).

So, here's another things that is leaving me completely befuddled.  I have a
filter guide that loops over a table and that only has a single filter in
it.  The filter simply pushes the values from the columns in the table to
another form.  Sounds simple, except that it's not working as expected.  It
properly loops over each of the records (or at least, the filter gets called
the same number of times that there are records in the table), however it
only pushes the values for the last row in the table and does it for each
row in the table.

Re: Mid Tier running very slow

2009-06-30 Thread David Sanders
Hi Raj

Take a look at the Tomcat stdoutxxx.log.  I've seen this before when
Tomcat runs out of memory.  If this is the case you'll have out of memory
errors in the log.  The fix is to increase the size of the Java memory pool
that Tomcat uses.

Run tomcat5w.exe in your tomcat install/bin directory and set the memory
sizes to use on the Java tab.  Don't pick a ridiculously high number - the
max is a proportion of the free memory on the VM, and if you set it too high
it won't run.  Assuming you haven't set it before, try a min of 512 and a
max of 1024 to start with, or perhaps a max of 1536.

the end of the log file it says Reaping Cache Groups.

Please advice what should i do to make it work faster.

Raj

Re: Filter qualification: verify a field value has NOT changed

2009-06-23 Thread David Sanders
Hi Jenni

 

Gregory says 'TR.FieldA' = $NULL$  This will miss cases where the field is
being changed TO null from a non-null value

 

Frank says 'TR.FieldA' = $NULL$ and 'DB.FieldA' != $NULL$ This will normally
work correctly.  But if you have a push fields action pushing values to the
form, where the TR value is the same as the DB value and is non-null, this
will be incorrect.

 

Jenni says 'FieldA' = 'DB.FieldA'  This will always give the expected
result.

Hi Listers,

I know this is elementary but my brain is chasing itself in circles today. I
need a qualification to ensure that a filter will only fire if a field value
has not changed. Will 'FieldA' = 'DB.FieldA' do it or am I missing
something?

Re: How do you track requests for design, consulting, setup?

2009-06-22 Thread David Sanders
Hi Ray

 

Yes, the Requisition can be just one step in a defined process, with
approvals, other tasks etc.  Approvals can be defined at multiple points in
the process, or can be triggered by the $$ amount of the requisition.  You
can also generate POs, link requests to cost centers, record invoices
received, etc.

 

The type of line item(s) included in the Requisition determine what happens
when the requisition is fulfilled - line items can spawn CI records for
assets, or Inventory records for consumables, or increment license counts,
or create no output records at all for items like consulting time, or hotel
bookings etc.  The point with requests for consulting is that they can be
subject to approvals, can be linked to cost centers, and purchase orders can
be generated, and invoices posted.

 

Thanks for your interest

That sounds reasonable, because that could be the first step that needs to
occur---get the servers. 
I am assuming there will be other "tickets" before all is said and done...to
configure the box, install
software.

For a request for x hours of consulting from, say, the network
group...does that fit anywhere in ESS?

Thank you.

So, you would treat a request to have new server with xyz software
installed as a Change Request.
I am assuming you do the same for a request to have some experts be
available for y days for consultation. Ok. Thank you for your input.

Anybody else? In your environment, would these requests start out as a
Change Request? In ITSM's CM module? I want to say it is not common to
treat such requests as Change Requests, but you guys tell me.

Hi there,

we're still on ARS 6.3, but we're using 7.1 Mid-Tier.

I have a display-only form with a page holder.

On each page there is a table field.

On two pages the table field has no Preferences widget, I mean the one
that allows users to set his column preferences. Where is it? How do I
get it back?

Re: some problem about the login page

2009-06-12 Thread David Sanders
Hi Kevin

I've never wanted to as this pop-up performs a useful test...

But if you wanted to, I'd look at the function detectPopupBlockers() section in 
the C:\Program Files\AR System\Mid-Tier\shared\login_common.jsp and replace 
that code with something that does nothing apart from set the cookie.

Or, later in the same jsp file, look at the function initlogin() and remove the 
line that calls the dectectPopupBlockers() function.

Just a WAG, but have you tried right-clicking on the table header in the

you have previously saved layout changes in the user tool.

I'm working in a 6.3 CSS system (ARS Patch 25, appropriate User/Admin

All of the table fields on every form I open do not show the correct fields.
They show the fields for the form the table is located on and not the fields
from the selected table in the Admin tool.  Even if I change the form the
fields do not change.

 

We've tried rebooting, bouncing the AR Server, etc - I've never seen this
before.  It is essentially impossible at this point to edit existing or add
new table fields.  

 

Anyone run into this?  The only redeeming factor is that this system is in

Hi Frex

 

This is not a corruption of the log files – this is content from your log
files.  This is saying that your production remedy server logged SQL errors
– you need to look at the content of these log lines to see what the
offending errors were and what your server was trying to do.

Hi Frex

 

This is not a corruption of the log files – this is content from your log
files.  This is saying that your production remedy server logged SQL errors
– you need to look at the content of these log lines to see what the
offending errors were and what your server was trying to do.

Hello all,

 

Has anyone using arwklga.exe, came across this error while analysing log
files.

 

I have tested logs generated by dev server and all seem to work fine, I get
a decent report with all the stats. I try to do the same with log files from
production and get the following errors! Was thinking the log file got
corrupted while copying it across but this wasn't the case. Any ideas as
what it could be?

Dear all,

 

I have some performance issues with our Remedy server (ARS 7.1) and as a
starting point I have enabled the SQL/API logs. I need to analyse these, but
doing it manually is quite time consuming. so... does anyone have a link to
the arwklga.exe utility for download. I checked the Dev Community but could
not find it.

 

Many thanks in advance

Perform a Set Fields action after the refresh and set the Table field to 1.

Re: ITSM7 escalation thread whitepaper?

2009-05-07 Thread David Sanders
Hi Tony

 

There is no separation of escalations into multiple pools in ITSM7 OOB, so
you would need to do this yourself.  The approach we take with the ESS
application is to separate time sensitive escalations from escalations that
manipulate large volumes of data, and I suspect that this approach would
work well with ITSM as well.

 

So for example, escalations that import people data, archive old tickets,
import CIs into the CMDB, etc. all use one thread which is considered a
non-time-sensitive background process, whereas escalations that trigger
notifications, reminders and other SLA-related work run in a time-sensitive
thread which is only used for escalations like this that will only be
touching a small(ish) number of records.

 

As far as your changes being overwritten by ITSM upgrades is concerned,
there's no way round this, but allocating escalations to queues is a simple
piece of housekeeping after applying a patch.

If the requirement is really to send an email every time a user accesses a

set to trigger on the GET event. This will also capture if a user reports on

Sample application - data-driven field auditing

2009-04-15 Thread David Sanders
Hi All

 

Here is a link to a small free application download to demonstrate a
data-driven approach to field data auditing which I hope will be of use to
some of you.

 

The sample application demonstrates how changes to field data can be
recorded. Rather than creating separate filters for each field to be
audited, the application uses a data-driven approach where fields can be
added to or removed from the list being audited without requiring any
workflow changes. 

The audit of data changes can either be stored in an Audit Trail (diary)
field on the data record, or stored as separate change records in a Change
Log form. 

Only changed fields are audited for each transaction, and the audit log
produced includes the user who made the change, time of the change, as well
as the original and changed field values. All audited changes in a single
transaction are included in a single log entry, rather than a separate entry
for each field being changed. 

The documentation provided with the sample application explains how to add
this field data auditing functionality to any existing Remedy data form.

Re: ITSM naming convention sucks

2009-03-24 Thread David Sanders
Hi Doug

In my opinion there are problems with trying to do too much with naming
conventions for workflow.  

One of the principal problems is in applying enhancements to an existing
application - if you add actions to an active link, do you change the name?
If so, your delta definitions file needs to contain a disabled version of
the object being replaced, and the new object with the new name too. I try
to avoid this unless the active link actions are radically altered so that
the existing name would be misleading.

What do you do when an active link has 25 actions??

I see no point in trying to include firing conditions in the object name
(window open, menu choice etc.) as these can be seen in the object list in
the admin tool.

In ESS active links tend to be named with abbreviations for 
:-TextDescription where  is a sequence number
for related workflow if appropriate.  They might also contain a suffix
Nm/Dlg to indicate if that workflow is designed to run specifically for
normal windows, or modal dialog windows.

For filters, the only difference is to include the filter execution order
like
:-620TextDescription where 620 is the execution order.
This lists most filters in the order they will fire.

In other words, we try to keep the naming convention as simple as possible
while still giving useful information, but retaining existing object names
where possible to make applying enhancements easier.

As far as support is concerned, you break it and we'll help you fix it.
Period. We normally set up copies of client's servers including any
customizations so that we can easily troubleshoot issues with them. And
support costs you no more for 2000 users than it does for 20 users - fixed
price.

I don't think so.  They will support the applications out of the box.  They
won't support customizations.  If you break something with your
customizations, they are not obligated to help you figure out how you broke
it.  They might, but they might not.  They are also not necessarily
obligated to help you understand their workflow, unless it relates to a
documented integration point.  Many of the whitepapers they provide are
nice, but not strictly necessary.

Understand that I would love it if BMC documented their systems better.  I
just don't think that the statement that it is necessary that they document
their naming conventions, or the implied statement that they should document
other implementation details, is correct.  It would be great if they did,
but they are under no obligation to do so.

"In my opinion, ITSP followed some best naming conventions."

Well considering that as far as know the naming convention is not
explained anywhere in the ITSP or ITSM documentation, I can't see how
you can believe that. Remedy allows you up to 80 characters to name
workflow items, and it seems that ITSP and ITSM does not use all of
these characters

Re: 7.5 Installation Error

2009-03-06 Thread David Sanders
Hi Rajini

I think the problem is that your server is not a member of a domain and does
not have a fully qualified name.  The installer requires that you enter the
FQDN to connect to the database server.

If your server is in a domain, use the FQDN, like RAJINIKANTH.company.com

If this is a standalone machine, you can add a DNS suffix to its name
through System Properties, Computer Name, Change button... More... button.
After the name change, restart the server, then run the install script using
the computer name with the DNS suffix you chose, like RAJINIKANTH.test.

Hi Peter

 

There is also ARSReport Link that is a web-based reporting solution for
Remedy.  Here is an example report showing Incident details and linked
worklog notes. Click the link to run the report in real-time.

tails&ESSIncidentDetails='1'%20=%20%22BSR1302%22>
&ESSIncidentDetails='1'%20=%20%22BSR1302%22

 

ARSReport Link is supplied as part of ESS, but can run against any Remedy
form, so you can set up reports for ITSM7 Incidents and worklog notes just
as easily.  It does not require per-user licensing.

Subject: Re: Help with printing an incident easily

 

Ive been stuck with this dilemma as well.

This is a minor issue if you can fully utilize Crystal reports for any
ticket printing you need.  Out of the box the Print Current Case button is a
Crystal report and there is a way you can setup the Crystal report to show
the multiple Work Info records with just the one set of Incident fields.
Its a matter of putting all the Incident fields in the Crystal Report into a
Group section where you add a group by Incident ID.

In the details section of the report is where you put in the Work Info
Summary, Description, Submit Date, etc.

 

You can also accomplish this in the Crystal report with the main report
pointing to HPD:Help Desk and add a sub report that points to HPD:Worklog
and add a sub report link using the Incident ID.

Let me know if you need specifics on that.

 

However, the biggest problem with Crystal is that those reports will not
work on the web unless you setup a Crystal Enterprise server environment,
license it with the same number of Incident licenses you have and then setup
its integration.

This can be done but will be costly for your organization to afford the
extra Business Objects licenses.

 

This really leaves you with only 2 other alternatives that I know of (please
anyone with better ideas please chime in, I am curious to know if there are
other alternatives):

 

1.  Setup a separate .NET application or some other web publishing
development system to connect to Remedy using direct SQL against the AR
System database and then change the button to a label with a button display
and have the label setup to goto a URL that will call that .NET application
that will display the data in a report.  This is something we are likely
going to pursue.

 

2.  Add a Open Window action to the active link that already will open the
Incident in a report that will point to the HPD:Worklog form and based on
the 'Incident Number' on the Work log table being set to the 'Incident
Number' from the HPD:Help Desk form.  This will result in two windows being
open from clicking on the button.  One with the incident details and one
with the Work Log data associated to that incident.  The user will have to
then print both windows.  Probably as better logic (to account for incidents
with no Work info data) would be setup this Open Window/Report action in a
separate active link that fires with the same conditions and from the same
button as the Incident Print Current Case active link but executes after if
it if the Work Info Inbound and Outbound counts are > 0 (which will mean
there is at least one Work Info record created and associated to that
incident).

Hello,

 

 I've asked for help on this before and received some good replies (thank

for someone to print the current incident they are looking at. Something

It was suggested that I create a Join Form and have it pull the incident and

Re: Remedy Deve3loper Studio 7.5???

2009-02-10 Thread David Sanders
Hi Calman

 

Thanks for these notes - although your screen captures did not come through,
the comments were useful.  I don't know how I missed the Form menu - the
form properties were exactly where I would have expected them to be.  Must
be going blind !!

 

I assume turning on object relationships is the equivalent of the sync
search database in earlier versions, using all those new metadata tables
instead though.  Creating a Working List seems to work OK and be the best of
the options you gave, although having to create a Working list each time I
wish to work on a form or group of forms is a bit of a pain.

 

The options that show relationships seem to list each object twice (for
example, Filter primary form, and Filter associated form) so is not good for
viewing related workflow.  Also, many of the columns are blank  (Field ID,
Form, WS Operation), while Action number is only populated for a few
entries.

 

All these lists seem to display 3 columns - Name, Object Type and Modified
(date).  Unless I am missing a display option again, there seems no way to
see execution order, whether the object is enabled or not, execute on
triggers, etc. from these lists.

 

Application permissions - yes, I had set these in the application object and
they are saved when I re-open it.  However, if I create a new object, such
as add a new field to a form in the application, it does not apply the
default permissions specified, and if I click the Apply Defaults button for
an existing field, all permissions are removed.

 

There are some features I like, such as being able to save perspectives when
you get a screen arrangement that suits you, having form views on tabs,
being able to specify Views to use through Actor (roles) - although that is
not really a DevStudio feature.

 

Regards

There are 3 ways to do this, but one of them only works on 7.5 servers and
require that you have object relationships turned on.For the last one,
turning on object relationships will greatly improve the performance of
generating the list) 

1. You can use Working Lists to create a list of related objects
(particularly helpful if you work on the objects a lot). View by Form lists
will work regardless of the object relationship setting. Follow these steps:

1.1 Right click on Working Lists in the Navigator and select New View by
Form List:


1.2 Give the list a name and click Add...


1.3 Add the form you were referring to with the settings below and Click OK
in the selector and the New View by Form List dialog:



A new working list containing all the related objects will be created which
should look something like this:


2. You can use the Relationship View. (Object relationships must be turned
on in the server) Follow these steps:

2.1 Right click on the active link in the Form list and select Show
Relationships



The Relationships view will be populated with all the related objects



3. Use a Related List. This is similar to the view by form list, but you
will end up with all the related objects for that form. So in this case, it
would show the selected form, the active link and the primary form. This
will work without turning on object relationships, but could take quite a
while if you do not have it on.

Have you tried setting the tab order in a View yet?  Change the tab order
number of one field and it 'guesses' how to renumber the other fields to
take account of the change.  Really frustrating.

So change is always painful, and there's going to be a learning curve with
this tool, but I really do not see anything that's easier yet (apart from
the undo feature which I guess we'll be using a lot to start with)

surprised because if you want to work with the form layout, maximize that

I know you CAN have 10 digit numbers, but most fields are normally 9 digits
as I said, unless you have manually assigned a 10 digit field ID less than

I tried this in another server installation on a SQL SERVER 2000 Databse and

Re: ARS 7.5 Installers - tales of woe - part 2

2009-01-30 Thread David Sanders
Well, I tried again after downgrading to JDK 1.5.0_17 and the install went
without a hitch.  The only difference was the version of the JDK, so I guess
it didn't like 1.6.0_06.

 

Thanks for the suggestions.  Now, all I need is to find a 36 inch monitor so
I can use the Developer Studio

Same here, we installed all of the bells and whistles in a Window 2003 VM
with SQL 2005 Java 1.6 and Tomcat that come bundled with it.  Using RDP to
install we were prompted to disable the temp dir flush and tscc.msc settings
and reboot before it would continue.  I was actually pretty impress with the
install (ease, speed, etc).

 

Also check out the uidemo that is on the BMCDN.  There are some really nice

Re: ARS 7.5 Installers - tales of woe

2009-01-29 Thread David Sanders
Hi JT

 

The error when AR Server was not installed properly was that a Service that
is depends on (Portmapper) failed to start.  Looking at the Service
definition, the portmapper file (portmap.exe) was not present anywhere on
the server.

 

I think the errors I am seeing are related to Java - certainly the uninstall
error message is specifically java, and I think the Dev Studio error message
is also Java related.  Perhaps I'll roll it all back again and replace the
JDK 1.6.0_06 with a JDK 1.5 version and see if that helps.

Is it just me, or is anyone else having problems with the installers for ARS
7.5 ?  Here's what's happening:

 

Server: VMWare Windows 2003 Server

DB:   MSSQL2005

JDK: 1.6.0_06

JRE: 1.6.0_06

 

You have to make sure the server has a DNS suffix in its name (mine is not a
member of a domain), and make sure that MSSQL Native Client Configuration
has TCP/IP enabled.

 

The first few attempts, I used the ARSuiteKitWindows installer.  When the
installer got to offering me the install options, I chose Custom and
selected all the components to install except the LDAP integrations,
Approval and Assignment engines which I don't need.  So I should have had
all the clients, AR Server, Mid-Tier, Web Services plugin, and Email engine.
I chose to register with portmapper.

I tried this a couple of times (fortunately, being on VMWare, I was able to
revert to a snapshot of the virgin system) and each time the installers
failed to install the portmapper (portmap.exe) so the AR Server couldn't
start. (I think there may have been other files also not installed).  After
the failed installation, the uninstall options did not work (failed to find
Class Main).

 

So, then I tried repeating the installation, but not registering with
Portmapper.  This time the AR Server was not dependent on the missing
portmap.exe file, but the installation still failed.  The AR Server just
would not start. Again the uninstall option (from Control Panel) would not
work, so the VM was rolled-back again.

 

I then tried the Minimal Install option (not custom) which installs just the
AR Server.  Registered with Portmapper, and to my (by now) surprise, it
worked.  The AR Server was installed, Portmapper was installed and
everything seemed to be working.  (Took another VM Snapshot at this point
!!)

 

Next step - re-run the installer and select the other Server components that
I want - Email, Mid-Tier, Web Services Plugin.  The installer ran and
completed, installed Tomcat (for use with IIS) etc. with no issues.  Great I
thought.

 

Next step - install the clients including Developer Studio.  Run the
installer again, choose only the client tools and all apparently completes,
so I should be there. but.

 

User Tool - if I set it to use a Preference Server, there don't seem to be
any defaults set, so I go through Tools Options and set all the options. OK
and log-in again and it hasn't saved them.  I can get it to save Flat look
on Forms, and a couple of other options, but not much else.  Open the User
Preferences record in the User Tool and set the options there.  A few more
'take' but there are still some that I can't set and save (like ODBC Use
Underscores).  So, give up on using Preference Server and using the ini file
all seems OK.

 

Developer Studio - can't start it - 'The DevStudio executable launcher was
unable to locate its companion shared library'.  Tried reinstalling it again
from the full installer, and also the client only installer - same result.

Installing ARS on a windows box used to be a breeze - definitely not now.
Has anyone else had more luck?

Re: Mysterious ancient services

2009-01-27 Thread David Sanders
Hi William

 

OK - so really scraping the old memory about this, the original CRM had a
separate 'toolbar' application that was used for lots of things, probably
including the screen-pop.  Most of the DDE actions in the active links were
to do with interaction with this toolbar application, and there were
literally thousands of them.

 

What are you trying to achieve?  Are you trying to get CRM 4.5 running on
ARS7.1, or are you trying to develop similar screen-pop functionality on a
new application?  If the latter, you should be able to find 3rd party
applications that are TAPI-compliant that will enable you to do screen-pops
with any Remedy application.

Hi William

 

Those 2 services and the associated exe files were part of the CRM
application (written originally by ?Baystone?, and bought out by Remedy many
years ago).  They were designed to queue up records to be processed, and
then process them at a later stage.  They were never incorporated as part of
the base ARS server as far as I know.  Also, I doubt that they were used in
screen pops.  If it's CRM, I'd start looking at DDE actions in the workflow.

Re: Demote ARS 7.1 to ARS 6.3

2008-12-16 Thread David Sanders
Hi Amy

I don't think there is any uninstall process that will revert your ARS7.1
database to ARS6.3.  There are data dictionary differences between the two
versions, for example assignee, submitter and last modified fields have
changed size.  ARS6.3 will not run against the 7.1 database.

Your only option is to restore an earlier version of the database if
available.

Our ARS environment is completely messed up and I need to revert back

production server.  Right now staging has ARS 7.1 with ITSM 6.3.  I
need it to be ARS 6.3 with ITSM 6.3.  The server is on RedHat Linux.

1. Is there any uninstall required for ARS 7.1 other than removing the
files from the server?
2. Do I need to worry about the ITSM installation or will I need to
uninstall/reinstall it?
3. Is there anything else I should know before I start??

I am the Remedy admin, NOT the UNIX admin, but since no one has time
to do this right now I will be performing the installations myself.
Unfortunately none of the UNIX admins or consultants who have done
this before wrote anything down so pretty much all I have is the BMC
documentation.  Any help you could provide would be much appreciated!

Re: Filter sequencing

2008-12-16 Thread David Sanders
Hi Dave

 

Clearly, if it matters in what order they fire, you should adjust the firing
sequence numbers accordingly.  However, if two objects have the same
execution order, my observations are as follows:

 

On the server that the workflow was developed on, the order will be in the
same order that they were created - the older one first.

If the workflow is moved to a second server and imported there, the order
will be alphabetical (which presumably is the order that they are imported
in).

 

This means that the execution order might be different on two servers which
can have unexpected results.  Finally, with filters you need to bear in mind
filter phasing - the above comments only apply to actions executed in the
same filter phase.

Re: Character Field Window

2008-11-25 Thread David Sanders
Hi Craig

The keyboard shortcut to do this is SHIFT-ALT-F7 when you have focus in the
field.  You can automate this by using an active link to set focus to the
field, then use OLE to 'press' the above key combination.  See the downloads
section on Gidd's website for details on how to use OLE and SendKeys.

The string for SHIFT-ALT-F7 is +%{F7}

Re: Can Remedy run case insenitive?

2008-09-06 Thread David Sanders
Hi Thorin

 

The case-sensitivity of Remedy logins cannot be altered.  It has nothing to
do with whether or not your database is case insensitive.  Even if you are
using MS SQL Server and all database searches are case-insensitive, Remedy
logins will still be case-sensitive.

 

You might try adding the special field Authentication Login Name (Field ID
117) to your User form and populating that with a different case version of
the real login name and see if that helps.  See the Configuring-710.pdf
guide for further information.  I have not tried this myself, but it might
allow you to login with either all upper or all lowercase versions of the
username..

Subject: Re: Can Remedy run case insenitive?

 

Dear Matt and list:

 Thank you for the response.  Our uses use the Windows User tool only --
no MidTier logins.  In Remedy 5 we used a login script and forced the ID to
lower case.  When Remedy 6 was rolled out, it was rolled out using a tool
named Radia.  Due to inexperience and vendor promises, we dropped the login
script.  Bad choice.

 

Soon we will be implementing Remedy 7 on Oracle.  Case insensitivity was
thought of as one way to squash the Active Directory case insensitivity /
Remedy case sensitivity once and for all.  Plus my user community would
prefer if the searches were case insensitive.

 

Why is it not recommended to set the flag?  How does this effect the
indexes?

 

As for the INIT function, I will need to do a refresher.  I got my ARS 7
certification 10 months ago and have used exactly 0% of the new knowledge.
Could I use the INIT function to lower-case the ID before the login test?

 

The case decision, ultimately, will not be made by me.  I will make a
recommendation which will greatly influence the powers-that-be.  So I
appreciate your advice.

Thorin

You can set up Case Insensitivity on oracle 10g R2 by adding the following
to the ar conf file.

 

Db-Case-Insensitive:T

 

 Although this is documented it is not recommended due to the way indexes
are utilised. Could you not use the INIT function to test loginid and if not
correct display a nice form that tells them to re-login using the correct
case?

Good afternoon. 
 We will be moving from Remedy 6 on Sybase to Remedy 7 on Oracle.
(Database politics -- let us not go there.) 

We are forever being bit by the case insensitivity of Active Directory.
People try to login in upper case.  Active directory allows them to do so.
But everything in Remedy is case sensitive so they do not get a home page --
they get a blank screen.

As all of our account data comes from case-insensitive sources, I was
wondering if we could tell the new Oracle database to be case-insensitive.
I would like to hear what the group thinks and what the experience has been.

Re: Help with Push Field's value getting displayed

2008-08-29 Thread David Sanders
Hi Ankur

 

Use the Close Window Mappings on the active link that opens form B as a
dialog to map the data from a field on B to field A2.  You will need to add
a Commit Changes action to the active link that closes the dialog before the
Close Window action.  You may also need to add a hidden field to hold the
value "Help" on form B so it can be mapped back to A2.

Subject: Help with Push Field's value getting displayed

 

Hi Listers,

 

I am stuck with an easiest of the scenarios but just couldn't get it
through. 

 

Here's the case:

 

There are two forms, A and B. A has two fields, A1 and A2. B has fields and
two Buttons. There's an AL "validate" on Form A which throws an error
message if A2 is NULL on form modify. 

Now an event on field A1 launches form B in Dialog mode. User enters the
info in Dialog B and presses save button. On action of button click, Dialog
B's data is pushed and commit is invoked. Then an AL fires on Form B, does a
Push field with text "Help" in A2.

This text in A2 gets to the database but doesn't get displayed on the field.
This causes AL "validate" to throw an error as it finds NULL in the field
A2. When I refresh Form A after the error, the value "Help" gets displayed
in field A2.

 

How can I get over this situation, where the value is being pushed in the
form and not getting displayed in the field, which qualifies AL "validate"
to throw an error where the value is actually present in the database.

 

I cannot change or disable the AL "validate" in the Form A. It has to be
there. When I disable this AL, I can see the value in A2 as soon as the
Dialog B is closed.

 

How can I get the value in the A2 so that it passes AL "validate"

 

 

Regards

Ankur

Open the Roles form and search for the CMDB Console User role.  See what

work.

 

AR Server, Mid Tier and Admin Tool are all at the same version 7.1.0 p002.

Re: Hot Backup Servers

2008-07-28 Thread David Sanders
Hi Roger

All licenses are stored in the database i9n v7.1 - User and server licenses.

The normal solution to this hot backup license issue is to install the
server license for both the main and the backup servers in the database -
only the one corresponding to the ARS server currently active will be used -
the other will be ignored.

When you turn off the main ars server and start the standby, it will
recognize its own license and work correctly.  This should work whether you
have a 'shared' database on a separate DB server, or if you are maintaining
a backup copy of the database through some sql mechanism.

Who has implemented a hotbackup server in a 7.x environment?  In 6.3 and
prior, it was relatively simple (license-wise) since the licenses were in a
file, and not the database.  How does, or what is the best way, it should
work in a 7 environment since the licenses are not in the database?  We
thought of having a seperate "standby" database instance that would get
updated via a SQL transaction log.  The problem, however, is that if the PRD
system went down, we'd have to do something with the license to get it to
work. 

Thoughts?  Ideas?

Re: Question about Status Bar info in 7.1 User client

2008-07-18 Thread David Sanders
Hi David

In the User tool, the server name displayed should be the name of the server
that you connected to - whatever name or alias you have defined in the
Accounts part.  All windows opened on that server should have the same
alias/name for the server.

If the server name/alias changes when you use your application, I think that
can only be because you have workflow that does Open Window actions
specifying a server name that is hard-coded in the active link.  References
to the current server should be stored in the database as @, but if this is
not the case and the server name is hard-coded, then you can have the
problems you are experiencing.

This problem can occur if you have DNS aliases defined for your server, and
you use those aliases to connect to the server with the Admin tool, and then
develop workflow or make workflow changes.  The ARS server only knows itself
by its real name, and any other names defined in the ar.conf/cfg file as
IP-Name aliases.  It will not auto-magically recognize DNS aliases as itself
in workflow.  Thus you can get hard-coded server names instead of the @.

You can check if this is your problem if you have access to the database by
looking at, for example, the tfServer column in the field_table table or the
serverName column in the actlink_open table.  These columns should contain
either a @ or a $field ID$ (where the Advanced box is checked in the
object).  If there are hard-coded server names, these are your problems.

To prevent this problem happening in the future, you should only connect to
the server in the Admin tool using the real server name, or an alias defined
in the ar.conf/cfg file.  You should add all these DNS aliases to your
ar.conf/cfg file as IP-Name:  lines.

To clean up the current hard-coded server references is more difficult.  You
could use direct SQL on the data dictionary tables to replace all hard-coded
server names with @.  But that is not supported.

Having defined all the IP-Name aliases as described above, and server
definitions export *might* clean them out. Do an export to a def file, open
with a text editor and search for the hard-coded server names.  If you find
any, replace them with 1\@ (note that the server name is preceded by a
number which is the character length of the name).  Having got a 'clean' def
file, you can then import in place.

The final method, which is the only supported one I guess, is to open each
object in the admin tool and re-select the server name, then save.  Note
that you will have to re-enter the table-field or set field qualification
before saving.

Subject: Question about Status Bar info in 7.1 User client

Good day everyone,

I have a question concerning the Remedy client.  I notice in the Status Bar
at the bottom of the client window that it will show the logged-in user ID
and also the Server name.  We have set up a new AR 7.1 server and have given
it aliases of the old server and also DNS entries.  I have noticed that the
server name in the Status bar seems to change from one alias to another
seemingly randomly as different users log in and different forms are opened.
I was wondering where the client picks up this data?  We have been having
some intermittent login problems with very long delays.  Rebooting the
server seems to help for an undetermined number of logins.  I am thinking
the client may be having problems resolving the host name.  We have entered
the aliases in the Hosts file in Windows.  I am not the sharpest knife in
the drawer when it comes to networking so pardon me.  
The only other change we made was that we installed the AR app and SQL on
drive D: instead of C: where we did on the previous server.  This was
requested by our Systems guy who maintains our servers.  Also the new one is
a VM server.
I have looked in the BMC knowledgebase and through old AR list posts and the
documentation, but to no avail.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Filter Actions - Multiple Push Field Actions

2008-07-15 Thread David Sanders
Hi Claire

You will need to adjust the filter phasing to make this happen, and split it
into at least 2 filters.  The first filter should do your push fields
immediately (`! naming) so that the value is available for the subsequent
filter.

Your second filter can then access the value set by the first push fields,
and you can include this in the run-if if needed.  Without the first push
fields happening immediately the second filter will not be able to access
the results of that push (as it will happen in a later phase).

Subject: Filter Actions - Multiple Push Field Actions

I may be going about this all wrong...

I have a transport form that takes an email sent to Remedy and then
pushes the information to the Ticket.  I have one Push action that
pushes some information to the ticket then a notify action and then
another push action. The and push action will only happen if the 1st
push action sets a field with a specific value. It is important that the
2nd push happens after the 1st push.  I know I can create 2 filters, but
want this to be as clean in terms of workflow as possible.

Can I have:

Push Fields
Notify

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

2008-07-11 Thread David Sanders
Hi John

For the User tool, the css file is called arsystem.css and is located in the
AR User tool installation directory.  You need to update it on all
workstations.  The sections relating to vertical nav bars are clearly
identified (VNavBar)

For the mid-tier it's in \resources\standard\stylesheets\ARSystem.css and you only need to
change it in this one place.

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

Well I am not sure about the cascading style sheets but if you change
the color on the form it will change it on the mid tier web view.

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
6.3 color scheme.

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

 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.
