Prod ARS 7.0.1 p006 cannot consume a webservice

2009-04-07 Thread Elinore AR
hi all, we are having a critical Production issue regarding Remedy
consuming a webservice and was hoping someone here can help us.

we are using
ARS 7.0.1 p006
MT 7.0.1 p006
AR Admin 7.0.1 p006

we have a filter that we created in a Dev server sometime ago that
consumes an external webservice. this works just fine and now we are
ready to move this filter to Production. we did and lo and behold, the
filter does not work. no problems with permission, proxy settings and
all, but we keep getting issues:

1) takes too long for the call to respond when the filter is fired.
2) when it does respond, we get either:
  a) timeout error on the database (the database takes too long to
respond)
  b) ARERR [9130] An exception occurred from the WebService class :
Unknown Error

as a test, I created a filter that calls to a public webservice found
in the BMC Developer Network

http://ws.cdyne.com/ip2geo/ip2geo.asmx?wsdl

and mapped the input and output fields to our test form in production.
then I created a record on the form that fires a filter calling that
webservice. I tested this same script in our devel server and I can
consume that same webservice just fine. but errors out in production.

our filter log shows this:

 Checking IP2Geo (500)
-- Passed -- perform actions
 0: Set Fields -- this is where the web service is called
*/Stop filter processing
   An exception occurred from the WebService class
   Unknown Error
  Error while performing filter action

we did a arplugin log compare at both times and here's what we saw:

we noticed that on our Dev, the line:

FINE URL Auth User = null
FINE URL Auth Password = hidden

is not getting called (does not appear in the log), while in Prod this
appears in the log. another significant difference is that when the
web service is called, the logs show:

DEV – it used ROOT as the element

FINE soapInputDocument = ROOT xmlns=urn:IP2Geo xmlns:ns1=http://
ws.cdyne.com/IP2Geo xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema;
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
ns1:ipAddress206.190.60.37/ns1:ipAddress
ns1:licenseKey/
/ROOT

while in:

PROD – there is an appended text “ns0:” before ROOT

FINE soapInputDocument = ns0:ROOT xmlns:ns0=urn:IP2Geo
xmlns:ns1=http://ws.cdyne.com/IP2Geo; xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/
2001/XMLSchema xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
ns1:ipAddress149.122.21.107/ns1:ipAddress
ns1:licenseKey/
/ns0:ROOT

can this difference be the root cause on why the exact same filter
calling the same webservice on different servers (with the same ARS
version, patch, OS, DB, Mid-Tier) is giving us different results on
our Production server compared to our Devel server? does anyone have
any idea on what could be causing this on our Production server?

any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Incident Work Info submitter is always Remedy Application Service if sent from Requester Console

2009-01-20 Thread Elinore AR
hi folks, i need your input. it's very important for our support
people to know who from our clients  submitted a work info for an
Incident that is being worked on. it seems that when Work Info are
added by clients using the Requester Console, when it gets to the
Incident form, the Submitter of the work log now becomes Remedy
Application Service which does not make any sense to us.

does anyone know any way to be able to keep/show the original
Submitter of the Work Info in the Incident form even if the Work Info
was submitted from the Requester Console?

Updating Service Request Status from Pending to Assigned/In Progress when Client replies

2009-01-20 Thread Elinore AR
hi folks, another important function that needs to work for us is that
when a Client adds a Work Info to a Pending / Client Action Required
Incident (in the Service Request/Requester Console), we need to be
able to update the Status from Pending / Client Action Required to the
last active Status of the Incident (either Assigned or In Progress).
this is for Clients to know what Incidents they have already replied
on, and for them to not keep checking an Incident they have already
responded/replied on.

we implemented a workaround on the Incident form that when a new Work
Log has been added to a Pending Incident, it will update the Incident
Status from Pending to Assigned. however, this does not update the
Status on the Service Request form and the Status still remains
Pending.

does anyone have any clue how this could be implemented? thanks in
advance!

HPD:WorkLog attachment incorrect file count

2008-08-27 Thread Elinore AR
Hi,

We have an external active link that is inserting Work Log info to the
HPD:WorkLog and I noticed that the File column in the Attachment field
is not counting the correct number of attachments that our active link
was inserting.

Is there a configuration or active link that counts the Files (number
of Attachments) when attachments are inserted on HPD:WorkLog? If so,
how do we tell this config the correct number of attachments that have
been inserted?

check field for null

2008-06-16 Thread Elinore AR
hi all, i am working on a customization in change management form. i
added a new tab on CHG and added fields on the tab. what i want to do
is display the tab only when any of the fields inside of the tab has
value.

is there a way to test the database field value if empty or not and
execute an On Display action that changes the tab to show/hide? i
couldn't make it to work on Active Link since it only reads the TR
value of the field and not the DB. but if i use Filter, i can test the
DB value of the field, but then i cannot execute an On Display action.

any thoughts?

Forcing Proxy Server Cache to refresh whenever they hit Mid-Tier

2008-02-20 Thread Elinore AR
Hi all,

I just want to throw this question out to everyone. We recently
reinstalled our Mid-Tier 6.3 and some people are able to access the
web URL and perform tasks on the Incident form but others are getting
the errors we were having prior to the re-install.  For some other
clients, merely flushing their browser cache solved the problem but
majority of our clients appear to be proxy server caching and keeps
receiving the errors. To those who were having problems, the issue was
solved by them having to refresh their proxy server cache (after
flushing their browser cache did not work for them.)

But then we are managing about 2500+ client users and we can't keep
calling everyone and telling them they need to refresh their proxy
server cache if flushing browser cache doesn't work for their problem
to go away.

So I was wondering if there is any way from the Mid-Tier to force the
proxy server cache (whatever proxy cache system they have) to refresh
either every time it gets hit / one time during their first access of
the day / refresh when there is change in the file's last modified
date or something along those lines. Is there any provision either in
the Mid-Tier config files or from the Remedy Configuration Tool or a
code that you add on the Mid-Tier files that would signal the proxy
server to refresh the Mid-Tier files that have been cached without
having to do the refresh/clear from the client's proxy server cache?

Any input would really help.

TIA.

Re: URGENT: Need help on Error loading preference from server

2008-02-18 Thread Elinore AR
Hi,

 1. Are you using a Preference Server?  And if so, is it a different server
 than the AR Server that you are logging into?

The preference server is the same as the AR Server we are logging in
to

 2.Have there been any other modification to your environment since
 truncating the data?

We did not know of any modification to environment since the data was
truncated. The DB was restarted, then the App then the Mid-Tier. But
no other changes other than that CC

 3. Did you discover the Mid-Tier problem immediately after truncating the
 data?

Truncating ended at around Feb 17, 4PM CST, users started experiencing
the problem at Feb 18, 9:20AM CST

 4. Do ALL of your Mid-Tier users get this error?

So far, all the users we tried logging in on the Mid-Tier is getting
this error. However, this does not occur on the Client Tool.

 Any additional details you may be able to provide would be helpful.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there on ARS 5.01.01 (patch
1232) that can send us a def file of their Remedy User Preference
form? The fields look like they have been removed but I do not have
any comparison (bad practice, we only have 1 environment both for our
Dev and Prod)

Many thanks in advance!

Syntax for Checking Password in Remedy 5.1

2008-02-13 Thread Elinore AR
Hi all,

Can anyone tell me the exact syntax for checking password in Remedy
5.1?

For Remedy 6.x-7.x, this works fine:

$PROCESS$ @@:Application-Confirm-Password Password

But for Remedy 5.x, this doesn't work.

I read from the docs that the workaround is to use the command:

Application-Confirm-Password $PROCESS$

This doesn't make sense? Isn't that what I just used?

I noticed that the error ARERR 4549 appears even before the workflow
get fired. The solution I was thinking was to suppress the error, test
if the error appeared (is there such function?) and use this for a Run-
If condition. But I don't know how to do this.

Does anyone have any recommendation? Like mentioned, I am on Remedy
5.1

Thanks in advance!

Closing Incident from Requester Console

2008-01-22 Thread Elinore AR
Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone has ever done closing an incident from the
Requester Console? Can anyone share their experience? I know that from
the Requester  Console there is a Reopen and Cancel buttons  but no
way to close the incident from there without having to go to the
Incident Management Console and try to execute Incident Closure
quick actions or open the incident itself and close it from there.

Ideally I was wanting to bring the Incident Closure quick action to
the Requester Console but it wasn't as easy as I thought. So I wanted
to ask here if anyone else has successfully done something like this
or if any of you has other ideas on how to accomplish this.

Re: Closing Incident from Requester Console

2008-01-22 Thread Elinore AR
Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your insight. The reason for wanting a quick close button
on the Requester Console is that, on our end (operating company), we
can only take the incident up to complete/resolved status. All of
our clients who logs their support issues on the console are the only
ones who can sign-off or close the issue once they feel that the
resolution we provided was acceptable. Otherwise they can re-open the
issue or cancel it (these 2 options already exist, just not the
close option.) Since they are clients, they will not have any access
to the Incident Management console and it would be counter-productive
for us if the client would keep calling us/sending us email requesting
to close the incident instead of just giving them the ability to do
so.

Elinore

On Jan 22, 10:43 pm, Lisa Westerfield [EMAIL PROTECTED]
wrote:
 Elinore,

 My initial curiosity makes me ask:
 - what audience do you want to quickly close incidents from here?
 - why do you want them to have a quick link vs opening the incident and 
 providing information before closing?  Considering that your support groups 
 are already working on them.

 Besides that... The purpose of the Requester Console is to provide a portal 
 for guests, or essentially any person with less than basic Remedy access 
 needs, so they may make requests for work.  The other consoles are more 
 intended to interract with requests by providing many more options.

 In addition, the Requester Console actually displays 'request' records which 
 are related to incidents under the covers.  Those records are only related to 
 other incidents or changes if there is a record number in the first column, 
 otherwise it's still a request record with errors.

 From my experience, I wouldn't expect that a quick close option would be as 
 common from a console as the user should have to provide more information for 
 resolving or closing, which would require an additional window pop or to open 
 the record entirely.  As I said, I wouldn't expect it, because I've never 
 experienced a situation where requesters could influence a record once level 
 2 has begun work on it, without more information. But then again, someone out 
 there could be working differently.

 Hope that is somewhat helpful.

Requiring CI in Change Request - Please Help!

2008-01-17 Thread Elinore AR
hi folks, i am here again with another dilemma...

i am working on an enhancement that requires at least a CI related to
a Change Request before it can be submitted.

i used the field z1D Char23 for my flag (i didn't want to add
another field just to use for flag) if CI is found to be related to
that CRQ prior to submission and created an active link guide that
loops through table field z2TH_Assoc_Association and sets z1D
Char23 to Y if found and N if not. of course i initialized the
flag field to N prior to the table loop guide. when the routine is
done, i set the flag field again to $NULL$ in case there are other
workflows using this field.

when i submit the CRQ for the first time, it looks like it's working.
it prompts me if there is no CI related yet and vice versa. however
when i search for the CRQ i just made and try to update it, unless i
click on the Relationships tab (i suppose it refreshes the
Relationships table field), i will keep getting prompted that there is
no CI related to the CRQ yet even if there is already!

i don't have any idea why the active link guide will not loop through
the table field and check if CI is already related to the CRQ unless i
click on the Relationships tab.

or does anyone have other suggestions on how to accomplish the check
instead?

Re: Remedy 5.1, no permission to requests when searching?

2007-12-10 Thread Elinore AR
hi, i need your help again guys.

so i did add a Client permission (literal, as in Client is the
name of our permission) to the Request ID field and did try searching
for tickets for a specific client (i used their company name as search
param) and was able to retrieve all their tickets. what i didn't know
what when i added that permission, i then made the Request ID
available to all our clients (coz all them gets a Client
permission)

the Request ID originally has Assignee Group and Company (the
operating company) permission. what bugs me is, when i log on as a
client, i could only see some tickets but when i log on as company
user i can retrieve all the tickets the client is supposed to be
seeing.

i checked on their tickets and all of them has the correct Assignee
Group. i did a file compare of all the tickets i see as a company user
and as a client user. there are about a handful of tickets that the
client user could not access, although these tickets have the correct
assignee group permission.

Remedy 5.1, no permission to requests when searching?

2007-12-05 Thread Elinore AR
we had reports recently that some clients could not view the tickets
that they logged in our system. i tried checking their user and group
permission and everything looks normal. when i search for the ticket
using my company account, i can search and view the client tickets
fine. but when the client would try to search for some of their
tickets, they keep on getting:

No matching requests (or no permission to requests) for qualification
criteria. (ARWARN 1200)

any idea on where else i should look at to solve this issue?

I was actually thinking about row-level access too. But then, I did
not write this app and don't know what they really did with it. But
yeah, I will be checking if they implemented that and see if it could
be done that way too.

how to test all the fields for values in a form

2007-11-27 Thread Elinore AR
hi, can anyone help me?

i need to check all the fields in a form whether the field has a value
or not, and if it's not empty, grab the name of that field and its
value and concatenate them all together and push the string value to a
field in another form.

i know i can do this by creating a series of active links to test the
field and push the data but i was hoping there is a more optimized way
of doing it (like a foreach statement)

any other ideas how i can do this?

modifying alias value of a drop-down list

2007-11-22 Thread Elinore AR
Hi, anything I should consider first before modifying the alias value
of drop-down field? We have several items in the Work Info Type list
that we are requiring from our users before they can move the Change
Request to Request for Authorization. Since I couldn't find a way to
make the menu value bold (to indicate that is required) we are just
planning on updating the Alias Value to add a character to symbolize
it is required.

Or does anybody have other solutions?

We're using Remedy AR 5.1 | Mid-Tier 6.3 and we've been having these
caught exception errors for the longest time. Though recent reports to
us looked like some could be an issue of localization. Frequent
reports to us of people encountering this usually comes from users
accessing the Mid-Tier in Europe (French, German, etc). They were
saying when they access the Mid-Tier in English, everything works fine.

Re: Create New Notification using the Notification Engine

2007-11-13 Thread Elinore AR
Hi John,

Yeah, I remember BMC telling me that too. But when I checked the KM,
there was no attachment, so they sent it to me instead. Oh well...

Hi Howard,

I created a new notification that checks that Status of a Change
Request and notifies the Change Implementer to move the Status to
Complete if it isn't yet and the Scheduled Date has passed. I followed
the instructions on p.20-22 of the doc and added a few tweaks to it
and got it working in minutes. I liked not having to create my own
custom notification (using a workflow) and integrate with the
Notification Engine instead. Less headache having to deal with
notification audit, etc.

Hi,

Just deduct 28800 from your Start and End Dates when doing query on
the web if you don't want the Mid-Tier to auto-adjust the time to GMT:

'Create Date' = (10/01/2007 00:00:00 AM - 28800) AND 'Create Date'
 (11/01/2007 00:00:00 AM - 28800)

Diary field empty on Mid-Tier 6.3

Hi, we recently started having problems with our web Remedy users.
When they login and try to view the notes (diary field) that have been
added to their Incident, the notes are just blank. But when we view
the Incident on a Remedy client tool, the notes are all there.

We tried flushing the mid-tier cache but the break-fix only works for
a couple of hours and the problem reoccurs again. What could all of a
sudden cause these problems?

Closing an Incident from the Requester Console

Has anyone ever done this?

I know from the Requester Console form that I can Reopen and
Cancel an Incident. But how do I close an Incident from the
Requester Console? I would like to be able to set an Incident to
Close from the Requester Console (given that the Incident has been
resolved already) without having to go to the Incident Management
Console and executing an Incident Closure quick action or set the
Status to Closed when I open the Incident.

I would like to understand why Close was not included. If Remedy
thought of allowing Reopen and Cancel from the RQC, why did they
not include Close as well?

  Yes, when running Mid Tier you need to have a Crystal Web or Crystal

  It appears that crystal reports (or some other web reporting tool) is
  required when printing an incident from the web.  When you click the

  Anyone know how to get around this?  We do not have a report tool

I am using web services to search for Incidents. I created another
form that calls the search function of the web service and plans to
display the data on a table field (testing the web services this way

display/get all the results of the query? I can display the result if
it is only a single record, but I don't know how it's done for
