OT: Developers Looking for Projects in California

2013-10-02 Thread Jeff Lockemy (QMX Support Services)
Good Morning,

 

I have a few colleagues in the San Diego metropolitan area that are looking
for work in the region.  Temporary, permanent, consulting, full time, part
time, doesn't matter.  If you know of anyone looking for a Remedy
development resource in San Diego, Orange County, etc. please email me off
the list.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Re: Cleaning Special Characters from a Character Field

2012-05-16 Thread Jeff Lockemy (QMX Support Services)
Thanks for the input guys.   

 

In reference to Axton's suggestion - I'm certainly not a Java guy, but might
be able to find some internal resources to tap into on that front.  In the
meantime, Jason's suggestion of a VB or batch file script might be good
quick and dirty solution to buy us more time to implement something more
elegant.  Thanks again!

 

Cheers,

Jeff

** I agree.  I haven't had a chance to write a plugin yet but we have a few
cases where we built DB functions or server side scripts (.vbs, .bat) that
we call from a Filter using Direct SQL or Run Process.  It isn't as elegant
as what Axton describes but is more or less the same concept; off load the
works to an external process on the server to do the work and give the
result back to Remedy.

and you can pass the regex parameters to the plugin; just figure out what
you want to give to the plugin and what you want to get back, then fill in
the blanks with the Java.

Good Day Listers,

I've been going round and round on this and I hope that someone has some
suggestions.

I need to strip out special/non-standard characters in a character field
before passing it to a web service.  I was thinking that running some
JavaScript when the user submits the contents via the Mid-Tier might be a
decent approach.  Not really knowing JavaScript, I dug around and found a
removeSpecialChars function on the web that I was trying to adapt, but I
haven't had much luck.

Based on examples that I found on the ARSList and BMC Community, I put the
function in the Web Footer Content of the form:

html

script

function removeSpecialChars(strVal)

{

strVal = strVal.replace(/[^A-Za-z 0-9
\.,\?!#\$%\^\*\(\)-_=\+;:\/\\\|\}\{\[\]`~]*/g, '') ;

}

/script

body 

/body

/html

 

Then I tried several different Active Link Run Process commands to run the
function on submit or modify:

javascript:window.F(536870913).S(removeSpecialChars($Character Field$));

javascript:window.F(536870913).S(new CharType(removeSpecialChars
(arid536870913).value));

However, when I submit or modify the field contents, I always get the
following error:

Caught exception: Object doesn't support property or method 'hasMessages'

Now I'm wondering if JavaScript is really the best way to approach this.  If
JavaScript is a good approach, then can anyone see what I am doing wrong
here?  If it isn't, any suggestions of a better way?

Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,

Jeff

Hi Andre,

I have relocated out to the DC area for a few years.

I have been looking for someone that would like to take over management of
the San Diego Remedy User Group (SDRUG), but there have not been any bites
to date.  I have the website, LinkedIn group, and member lists that I can
turn over if someone is interested.

I am not aware of any activity with the OCLARUG...  Cindy at Kawasaki was
running those.  If someone is interested in helping get that group back in
motion, I may be able to dig out her contact information.

Best regards,

I have been trying to integrate it but for some reason it goes back to

Remedy doesnt provide Servlet code that  fall back's to login page. I have
also made appropriate config file change on midtier.

Has anybody successfully implemented it? 

Please share your ideas.

here's sample code that I am using (packaged class in a jar file and then

Re: Service-now.com NOW BMC Remedy licensing

2010-04-25 Thread Jeff Lockemy (QMX Support Services)
 

Ah, so you're talking buying a Developer Edition of Remedy and that's it?
Not buying a Developer Edition tied to a customer who owns other products.

 

On one hand, you would think that in order for BMC to sell a copy of their
product for a cheap price that allows more than a few thousand records, they
would have to come up with some other way of keeping small companies from
using the product and not purchasing it.

 

On the other hand, I wonder what would happen if BMC did offer a starter
edition of Remedy with a small floating user limit included and a decent
number of records to developers and small companies for cheap, with pay per
incident support.  Maybe that would increase the market share of Remedy to
the point that BMC would see a return on investment in the number of users
that grow into and purchase product and support; or purchase it based on
developer recommendations.

 

Interesting thoughts.

How much would it cost to have one licensed user of al the products you

i think you would still find it to be cost prohibitive,

I apologize if someone already brought this up and I missed it, but I would
recommend looking into BMC's new licensing model.  They refer to it as
blue pricing versus the old green pricing.  Under the blue pricing model
you buy one BMC Remedy IT Service Management Suite (was about $12K retail)
and you get an unlimited amount of licensed installs for the following
modules:

 

. Remedy AR System Server

. Remedy Flashboards Application

. Remedy Knowledge Management Application with 1 User

. Remedy Migrator

. Remedy Encryption Performance Security

. Remedy Developer Plus

. Remedy Distributed Server Option (DSO)

. Remedy Service Desk Application

. Remedy Asset Management Application

. Remedy Change Management Application

. Remedy Service Level Management

. BMC Analytics for BSM 

. BMC Dashboards for BSM

. Remedy Change Management Dashboard

. Atrium CMDB

. Service Management Process Model for Service Support

. Service Management Process Model for Service Delivery

. Unlimited number of servers

 

You spend $12,000 (or less) for that one line item and you will NEVER have
to buy another module.  You NEVER need a demo or trial license key to
install ARS or any of the other modules ever again.  You can have as many
licensed production, quality assurance, test, development, etc servers that
you wish.  You just have to buy whatever USER licenses that you wish to use
on those servers.

 

Under blue pricing, the USER licenses are a bit more expensive in most
cases.  But the other thing that makes the blue pricing model attractive is
that you pay maintenance on the PURCHASE price of the license, not the
RETAIL price.  For customers that buy their licenses at a good discount off
retail, your maintenance can be considerably less.  So you will pay a bit
more for the USER license at purchase time, but you can save that and more
in the following years that you pay in maintenance.  For one of our
customers, maintenance under green would have been $120K annually and by
going to blue their maintenance was $90K.

 

One catch though, you can't just switch from green to blue whenever you
want.  There is a whole migration methodology that BMC uses to determine how
much of a migration credit you get for your green licenses towards a blue
conversion.  To make the conversion work, you have to spend some more money.
But if you are preparing to purchase some new licenses or renew your support
contract anyhow, I strongly encourage you to look into this new pricing
before your fork out the dough.  You may be able to use that money to make a
conversion to blue.  Even if you are using custom apps, blue pricing can
save you money.

 

We are a BMC partner and can answer any questions or provide you with a
migration quote.   Let us know if we can help.

of records. (not 2000)  I  wish BMC would have consideration for the developers 
(i.e. a Developer's Edition so developers can work it).  If they offered a 
Developer's edition for a reasonable price, I would buy it.  They just get on 
my nerves - which is why I am looking at other products.

I would hit up BMC as well and see what support they may be able to provide
to the group, in light of the (2nd) cancellation of User World.

Hello Susan,

I think that Mike is on to something.  We all use the annual UserWorld
event to network with other Remedy professionals.  This may be a prime
opportunity to boost our local User Groups and provide a cost effective
solution within our Region.

Thanks,

Susan, lets plan on maybe expanding your mid-west rug in chicago into a
couple day deal.  I think I can get RMI Solutions to do some training
and I might be able to get a couple sponsors to pay for that training. I
understand why BMC made the decision they did, but I think we can still
get alot of interest for a Green RUG meeting in Chicago this fall. Might
have to be a thursday night thru saturday venue.  I think there are
several BMC partners that will also participate and I don't think we
need to scrap this thing too fast. Even if we only get a couple hundred
folks for two days of hard Remedy knowledge transfer it would be good.

I'm disappointed, but alarmingly I also find I'm not surprised.  Since
these are my education dollars allotment I am at least thankful they are
letting us know early so that if we want to pursue another education
direction we can plan that.  Lost those dollars last year.
 
We'll have to step up our regional RUG activity.  I've already put in
motion the planning stages for one for MidWest RUG in the Chicago area.
Since 7.5 will be out in a month at least there will be something new to
talk about.
 
It's a shame that maybe the other sides of the BMC business are not
strong enough to sustain UserWorld.  It would be nice to go back to a
simpler RUG format.  Drop the bells and whistles, doesn't have to be
huge, keep it simple, go back to the old playbook!

Exactly.. Instead of assuming that companies/customers will not
patronize the event, they could have distributed an email opinion poll
to its customers to get a feel of:
1) Whether they are willing to attend
2) Willing to attend and have the necessary financial resources
allocated by the company towards such events
3) Opinion of the customers if they decided to cancel the event
in wake of the current economic instability.
 
I would think results of such a poll might have gone a long way
in making an educated decision rather than arbitrarily canceling the
event altogether under the assumption that they won't get the mileage
they are looking for from an event such as this.. Clearly a decision
such as this is shortsightedness on part of BMC's directors or
management...
 
My 2 cents..

I think the BUW as education angle was underestimated by BMC.
How can we evangelize the new BMC stuff to our own companies if we don't
get to see it and talk to the engineers?

I think this decision was hasty and shortsighted.

Susan,
 
I was also signed up for User World 2008 and never received the
attached information concerning User World 2009.
 
Our company has cut back on a lot of things.  However training
is not one of them.  They completely understand the need to keep folks
current.  For me User World is considered as part of my training as I
have taken just about all the Remedy courses there are.
