Navigation initial state - vertical navigation bar

2007-07-25 Thread David Seidman

Is there an action or run process that will automatically expend a vertical
navigation field upon window load?  The Navigation Initial State option does
force a particular sub-items and its siblings to be visible, but then that
option is underlined in the user tool.

To be clear on what I mean, if the current behavior of the nav bar is to
display:

- Help Desk Cases
- Tools

Is there an action that will automatically expand the menu so users don't
have to click on the headers to see:

- Help Desk Cases
 New
 Search
- Tools
 Bulletin Board
 Reminders
 Reporting

7.0.1 patch 003


Thanks,
David

Re: ARERR 9200 when attempting to access a flashboard

2007-06-19 Thread David Seidman

I'm replying to my own post with more info, because our 3rd party support is
essentially useless.

I've noticed that this ARERR 9200 isn't an issue with non-admin vs. admin
users. If I view this console that has flashboards via opening the console
form, there is no error. It's when I arrive at the console via the Home Page
selection that I receive ARERR 9200, regardless of whom I am logged in as.

I haven't worked with configuring home pages for users before. I'm missing
something. Since the problem is with flashboard fields, does this have
something to do with how mid-tier loads a home page?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Listers,

ARERR [9200] User has no access permission to 

The error guide says:
User has no access permission to .
You attempted to perform an operation (for example, opening a form) to
which you have no permissions. Check with your administrator.

So I've done the obvious of making sure the user and flashboard object
permissions align.

This is on a development server (ARS 7.0.1 running a customized ITSM
6.0), and I suspect I might have caused this when I removed some
seemingly unnecessary Public group permissions that ITSM 6 and prior
versions have throughout the app. It would seem there's something
obvious that I haven't checked, but I'm not catching it right now, so I
thought I'd run this by the list.

Thanks,
Dave

Re: Daylight savings time and Remedy system restarts

2007-01-08 Thread David Seidman

Hello,

We are still running 5.1.2 with a scheduled upgrade to 7.0.1 by May, where
completing the upgrade by March 11 is not an option. Upgrading to 6 as an
interim step is not a preferable option (albeit the only one officially
sanctioned by BMC).

For sure, without corrective action, date/time values falling between
3/11/07 2AM and 4/3/07 2AM stored in the database prior to 3/11/07 2AM will
be incorrect. We can identify these and modify them.

Assuming the system clock correctly adapts to the new DST, Remedy's date
calculations after DST takes effect should be accurate, right?

...or...will there be a problem with future date values after 4/3/07 2AM,
since that is when that ARS library thinks DST is taking effect?

More specifically, since we have SLA's that use business time, are we in for
a heap of trouble if we stay with 5.1.2 through 3/11 and past 4/3?

Thanks,
Dave

Just because your computer clock is correct is no guarantee that times
in Remedy will be right. Remember that ARS stores times as seconds since
Midnight, 1/1/1970 GMT. Every time it displays a time, it calculates the
difference between what's stored and the time zone it's displaying in,
so if ARS doesn't know it's DST, every time between the old and new
Daylight start times will be off by an hour.

Remedy Knowledge Management (KMXperts)

2006-05-05 Thread David Seidman
**
Hello List,We are considering using BMC Remedy Knowledge Management (formerly KMXperts) and would be interested in hearing from others who are currently using it. This will be a replacement for an old version of ServiceWare. We would be running KMXperts in conjunction with Help Desk, which we are about to upgrade from 
5.5 to 6.0. We like that Remedy KM will integrate well with what we have, at a more affordable price than what a ServiceWare upgrade would be. What have been your experiences with it, both benefits and drawbacks?Thanks,
