One year, too broke to get my dad the drill press he really wanted, I
bought my dad about 40 pair of underwear (this was about 15 years ago).

Needless to say, he was underwhelmed, but he has gotten a great deal of
use from the gift, and I daresay he's still quipped with clean, new
underwear.

I actually tried to get dirt for Christmas. My wife balked though.

We have a new house, and the builder had scraped away most of the top
soil on my 1 acre plot to build a sturdy foundation. He had hauled in
dirt, but unfortunately, we had quite a lot of rain this year, and all
of it washed away before I could get some sod on it. So, now, I'm left
with a clay yard, and no dirt for my garden/grass.

I will basically say, to all women out there, get the man what he asks
for.
Usually I ask for gift cards, but my family thinks that's too
impersonal, so I get socks :)

Gifts for Men

Christmas is just around the corner so it's time for me to share some
gift ideas for those special men in your life! Buying gifts for men is
not nearly as complicated as it is for women. Follow these rules and you
should have no problems.

Rule #1:
When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he
already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain.
As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. For that matter
any power tool is a good choice. He may not need it, or know what it
does, but it will look good hung on the peg board in the garage.

Rule #2:
If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word
ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words. Hey George,
can I borrow your ratchet? OK. Bye-the-way, are you through with my
3/8-inch socket yet?

Rule #3:
If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A 99-cent
ice scraper, a small bottle of deicer or something to hang from his rear
view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars.

Rule #4:
Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties and never buy men bathrobes.
If God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he wouldn't have invented
Jockey shorts.

Rule #5:
You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn
out.
If you have a lot of money buy your man a big-screen TV with the little
picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he flips, and flips, and
flips.

Rule #6:
Do not buy a man any of those fancy liqueurs. If you do, it will sit in
a cupboard for 23 years. Real men drink whiskey or beer.

Rule #7:
Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after shave or
deodorant.
We do not stink - we are earthy.

Rule #8:
Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. Within a couple
of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. Socks. Shorts.
Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock. Sink. You get the idea. No one knows why.

Rule #9:
Never buy a man anything that says some assembly required on the box.
It will ruin his Special Day and he will always have parts left over.

Rule #10:
Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr Lumber,
Home Depot, John Deere, Valley RV Center, and Les Schwab Tire. (NAPA
Auto Parts and Sear's Clearance Centers are also excellent men's stores.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't know what it is. From

I am trying to migrate some ITSM 6.x Help Desk Tickets and some Change

Interface_Create and the CHG:Change Interface_Create forms.

I am using the Remedy Import tool to upload the tickets to the Incident
create Staging form. I map my fields properly and then import them to
the staging form, but they do not create any Incident tickets after they
have been uploaded to the Interface_Create form. 

Am I missing some fields in my import? 

Are their any fields that I should be uploading to this staging form so
that it kicks off the workflow behind it to create the Incidents? 

I noticed that all the filters behind the 2 HPD and CHG Interface_Create
forms executes on Submit so I think I am missing something. 

Also is there any documentation on this form?

Thanks.

The field is still on our production server form, however taking full

desirable since other work has been done on the dev version of the form
which we want to avoid overwriting.
 
The field is a table with columns.  Is there a way to just grab this

Re: DST - Leap Year Issue with Date Only fields

2008-03-12 Thread Evans.Randy
When we ran into DST issues, we had to take out the Time Zone value
setting it to NULL.  It actually in our case comes down to a MSFT dll
that needs to be fixed.  The Remedy User tools uses that dlls for some
of it's date manipulations.  We couldn't roll out the dll, because it
would require us to test all our VB, etc apps.  Just to much of a time
eater, easier just to set the time zone in the user tool.   As a side
note, when this happened I checked in the database, and it was storing
the dates correctly.

Hi Michelle,
I believe I encountered the same issue you are describing on a 5.01.02
AR Server back in 2006.  I reported the issue to BMC Support, and the
issue was closed with a defect (SW00220325).  See attached for a copy of
the issue.  I never received any follow up on the defect (go figure),
but when I looked it up today, this is what it shows:

ID:  SW00220325
Disposition:  Verified
Resolution:  Not Reproducible
Product:  AR System
Version:  6.00.01
Problem Area 1:  Server
Summary:
I am running  ARS 6.0.1 on a Windows 2000 Server.  The server is set to
automatically adjust for Daylights  saving time.  For the past two years
on the day of the time change, the Date keyword renders the previous
date.  And on the next day at midnight

The defect was submitted for another customer who encountered the same
issue, so I am surprised that BMC was unable to reproduce it.  I haven't
tested to see if it has been corrected in ARS 7.0.1+.

The issue seems to be related to the DST change, not leap year.

Can someone clear this up for me as it seems to come up a couple times

and then a user only gets a read license. The problem seems to occur
when the user enters an ID in Remedy that does not match the case
sensitivity of their network account (network account is JoeUser, Remedy
account is joeuser). I am using the special field Authentication Login
Name (field ID 117) which matches exactly their network ID. 

Any ideas why this happens? Is the Remedy user ID case sensitive?
Shouldn't field ID 117 fix any problem? Is this another old bug

it's doing an Order By.   I think between the amount of records and the

Yeah, for messages in my own workflow, I use a numbering scheme that
tells me (in the ARERR #) whether it was generated by an Active Link or
Filter, the severity, and what the run order is.  Makes finding the
source workflow a TON easier.  Now that we have more than 5 digits to
play with, one could add numeric representations of applications to that
sequence as well.

I've always wished they had the ability of character prefixes to
error messages. It would have been nice to have a Sales order system
error messages to start with SOS123456. That would also mean you could
reuse that error message number for a Bug tracking system BTS123456...
Its not something I would kill for hence didn't really submit an
enhancement request for it. But considering the size that these systems
seem to be growing to it might sooner or later begin to look like a
practical idea to be able to prefix error messages with a character
prefix..

If you think about it...system messages are less than
10,000. (i.e. 93 - unable to connect)
 
Workflow errors are above 10,000...  BMC/Remedy wouldn't
be able to keep all their system and workflow errors below
10,000...(there aren't enough numbers if they used a unique number for
every error!) ha ha :)

That's a good 'assumption' to make based on what they
say they do during their application development.. but with some of the
recent inconsistencies I have seen within their development work
especially around the ITSM 7 apps, I wouldn't bet on it.. 
 
In fact PBM:PBI:CloseToOther_155 is the filter that
throws that message.. Its a BMC filter..
 
Hope that helps..

Re: Remedy CSS Slowness - too many Activities

2007-07-12 Thread Evans.Randy
That's one of the issues we found, in dev cache mode it takes for ever
because it doesn't build a new cache it updates the old one, so our
server locks down for a minute or two while re-caching.  In production
mode it's not supposed to do that, it will build a new cache then once
it's built switch people over to it, then eliminate the old cache.

All, we are running Remedy CSS 5.6 with ARS 6.3 against an
Oracle 10g backend.   When changing groups using the Console View on the
Agent Console, it is taking approx 1.5 to 2.0 minutes to return.   I
turn on logging and noticed it is taking a long time querying the T287
table.  This is the table that holds the Activity/Interaction records.
We have approx 1457236 records in this table.   I also noticed in the
SQL call it's doing an Order By.   I think between the amount of records
and the order by clause, this is the reason we're seeing so much
slowness.   I was just wondering if anyone has experience with this
issue?  Does anyone know where the order by clause is being generated
from?   Thanks for any help you can give me one this.

Were starting to look at upgrading from ITSM 6 to ITSM 7, I was
wondering what drawbacks, issues, pit falls have been encountered when
doing this upgrade.  We have a moderately customized ITSM 6, along with
some home grown applications.  Thanks in advance.

We have seen this error.
 
In some cases a reinstall of the user or an upgrade fixed the problem.
 
In others we renamed the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business

Example of consuming a Remedy Web service.

Does anyone have an example of consuming a Remedy web service using
Coldfusion or VB?  And possibly the configuration of a working example,
i.e. what JRE version or type.  

Thanks.

  Here's an opposing thought worth considering...
 
  Going back to the spirit of ARS being a Rapid Development Platform, 
  why would BMC encourage development of the *same thing* that's out 
  there already, regardless of who produced it? Many have lost sight 
  of ARS as a development medium because it's been perceived as just 
  a Help Desk for quite some time - and adding 50 more flavors of IT 
  Request/Service Management won't do much to fix that perception.
 
  Requiring partners to produce products that are in non-competition 
  is certainly part of the goal - money drives everything, as they say.
  However, it may also be construed as pushing the horizontal 
  boundaries of the platform - pushing ISV's to take the product and move it 
  into other arenas.
  There's obviously some interest in taking advantage of this 
  facility, so instead of ITSM-esque applications, how about Fleet 
  Management, Document Management, Middleware (Web Services + ARDBC + 
  Workflow Engine is a dynamite combo for this), Financial Applications, etc.
 
  IMHO, those things add value to the platform - another ITSM product doesn't.
  A bigger pie provides revenue to BMC, no doubt, but it also gives 
  the ISV a chance at more than crumbs.
 
  -Chris Woyton
  ATS, TuringSMI
 
  ps with regards to Robert's comment on CMDB, another thought comes 
  to mind - I've often pondered using the OBJSTR sub-system as a 
  development medium all on its own. Imagine this - you build a core 
  set of Classes for a particular use, for example, 
  Middleware/Data-Transfer. When a new Data Source becomes available, 
  specialized a Sub-Class for it. Consumers of the data can then point 
  to the specific Sub-Class or the root Parent Class (or at any point 
  in the tree) depending on what data they need to use. Or, in a 
  Request Management application, rather than providing different 
  Views of an app to suit different groups, specialize a Sub-Class 
  for that Group such that common data is shared, but specific data is 
  segmented. Data sets could be used to support Tenancy in a model like this 
  and the Recon Engine could facilitate inter-application integration (as 
  well as exta-application).
 
  Maybe one of you hyper-motivated young guns can play with that idea 
  (Reinfeldt already busts my chops for the 30 or so half-written 
  emails to him I haven't had time to finish, so no way would I commit 
  to prototyping that stuff..hehehe) :)

   Axton - you think too much outside the box :) Just like so many of

  I have actually been wondering about this for some time now, 
  especially in the area of CMDB and 'Re-development' or 'Module 
  Integration' so to say.
 
  The BMC CMDB while being 'OK' (not to take this completely off 
  topic) is such an overhead that a much simpler and customer fitting design
  would be so much more performant to the ARSystem and other applications...
  (none the less cheaper and easier to maintain at times!)
 
  At what point will BMC begin to limit customizations? Imagine if the 
  install of say Incident Management installed all objects in Locked 
  Mode...
 
  I wonder at times if BMC forgot the first envisioned cause for ARS...
  Rapid Application Development, Flexible Workflow, ...
