Re: BMC Remedy and Slack Integration

I did the integration on version 8.1 using the plugin (for outgoing) and
API (incoming) as LJ outlined in his email. So far, no issues.

Setting up the plugin and API takes a couple of hours and the Slack
integration should be another hour (customizing the Support Group form and
adding a couple filters on HPD:Help Desk/ WOI:Work Order etc..).

 Hi - Tom the newby again, working on migrating our company from BMC SDE to
 Remedy. My next major challenge is how to implement the 100 or so custom
 SDE Incident forms that we created over the years, into Remedy. In SDE it
 is quite easy to implement custom incident forms, you can even use the same
 fields on multiple forms! Just design them, give them an Incident Type,
 throw them under nav bar and off you go. Unfortunately (or fortunately
 depending upon your perspective) this doesn't appear to fit well with
 Remedy's architecture. We do have someone helping us through this process
 and I wanted to throw an idea out to the group and get some feed back. The
 current plan is to
 1) Load up the Remedy Incident Type list with the ones we have in SDE.
 2) Create a custom tab on the HPD:Help Desk form for each of our custom
 SDE forms containing the required fields
 3) Based upon the Incident Type selected, expose the proper custom tab
 (the other ones remain hidden), enabling the user to add the additional
 data required for the incident type selected

 It works in theory and I have one mocked up in dev but my concern is since
 I cannot use the same field under more than one tab (remeber in SDE I could
 use the same field on multiple forms), I am going to end up with quite a
 few (100 +) custom fields on the Help Desk form.

 Comments?

 Has anyone else had this challange and solved it a differnt way?

 Thanks,

 Tom

Re: SRM - Work Order (automatic activation?)

2012-10-09 Thread Mahesh Chandra
This is not possible through configuration but definitely Yes through a small 
customization.

If the work order is being created from a Work Order template, use of the Type 
Fields to flag the Work order (Example: Type Field 10 = Auto_Initiate). If 
not using Work order Template, map the SR Type Field 10 on the SRD with the 
same value.

Create a filter on Work Order that will look at the above flag and move the 
status to In Progress.

Thanks

On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 10:23 AM, Pierson, Shawn shawn.pier...@sug.comwrote:

 **

 The problem is that SRM was created as a user self-service portal and a
 lot of us use it differently.  Technically, it’s not designed for the
 service desk to enter service requests on behalf of users.  The “On Behalf
 Of” functionality seems more geared toward administrative assistants and
 managers who enter things on behalf of their staff.  While probably
 everyone sets up a rule for their service desk group to be allowed to
 submit on behalf of everyone in the company, it seems like that is more of
 a kludge than an efficient way of doing things.

 ** **

 Your best option is going to require some level of customization.  As I
 mentioned another time, I have a custom AIF that exposes fields to allow
 the submitter to bypass the “On Behalf Of” functionality and populate the
 fields for the Customer directly on the form.  This saves the service desk
 time and requires less clicks than doing it the right way.

 ** **

 At a high level off the top of my head, I’d suggest doing the following:**
 **

 **1)  ** Go into SYS:Form Field Selection and set up the Assignment
 fields needed to set the assignee on the Incident form, where the Selection
 Type is Question Field Mapping.

 **2)  **Add an Active Link to your Advanced Interface Form to do a
 Set Fields of the user’s Default assignment group if the People record is
 set to Support Staff = “Yes”, with fields matching whatever the assignee
 information fields are.

 **3)  **You probably have to update some Filters somewhere to make
 sure the assignment information pushes all the way through.  

 **4)  **You will need to update your AOT and other items to reflect
 the new fields being mapped.

 ** **

 Realistically, you could treat this enhancement like the section of the
 SRM documentation that shows you how to set up SRDs to populate a custom
 application and follow that guide for the most part.  I’ve probably
 oversimplified in my steps above but it’s been a while since I had to
 customize SRM in a similar manner.  I also believe you can only use an AIF
 rather than a standard form because of the logic to set the assignee
 information for support groups.

 Good question, Moe.

 ** **

 Consider that, in Incident Management processes, a service desk agent A
 receives a call from a customer – agent A creates an incident and is able
 to assign it to herself; that’s all I want here.

 ** **

 Service desk agent B receives a call from a customer, creates a request On
 Behalf Of that customer – why can’t agent B assign the request to himself?
 Not only is this not an option automatically, but I don’t see a way for the
 agent to do so manually in a reasonable fashion. The best I can see is to
 be able to automatically assign to agent B’s support group, which means it
 will, on average, end up assigned to a different agent.

 I am wondering why do you need to do that? This doesn’t even align with
 the tool/roles. Provided you can set the assignment of the Coordinator,
 that means you will grant everyone in your organization the Service Request
 Coordinator role. I assume that anyone can request on behalf of anyone in
 your environment.  Usually, the coordinator should be a member of the
 Service Desk, a member of the fulfillment group that the request is going
 to or a special group with the coordinator role that is specifically
 responsible to oversea

 Its hard to describe that attribute as it could be someone who complains

 something to raise as an incident.
  
 I might probably want to call such a customer a ‘Problem Customer’ with maybe 
 grading from 0 to 5 where if that customer has never raised any incident that 
 was not worth raising, its value would be 0 while if 100% of the problems  
 raised by that customer were not real problems, then that value would be 5

 Hi,
  
 How do you interpret the client sensitivity?
  
 One of my customers uses it to mark people that are normally complaining for 
 everything.
 Other customer uses it to mark people of critic importance for the business 
 processes.
 And other customer uses it to mark people that are not VIP, but are close to 
 VIP's and thus the god/bad image can be easily propagated to VIP's.

 To the 'write access error', there does seem to be a bit of conflict or at 
 least confusion in the documentation. The statement in your original post, 
 An individual with a BMC Remedy AR System Read license can act on-behalf-of 
 another individual, group, or company. is a true statement but only if they 
 happen to be the first person to do this for the 'other' entity. Subsequest 
 read-only licensed individuals who try to perform an on-behalf-of action for 
 that entity will get an error. As was stated earlier, the first action 
 creates an entry in ENT:Enttitlement Generate QUAL/CACHE form, but the second 
 person receives the error when updating this record. This is standard age-old 
 ARS licensing behavior.
 
 There is another note on page 19 of the SRM User's Guide that states: Users 
 who are allowed to submit requests on behalf of another user must be assigned 
 a fixed or floating license so that they can manage the requests after 
 submitting them on behalf of the other user. So, in one place we're told 
 only a RO license is needed, then in another we're told a Write license is 
 needed (at least to 'manage' the requests). Based on the fact that users need 
 to modify a record created by a different user, Write license wins.

 We have the system configured so that anyone can request On behalf of using

 Joe submits a ticket on behalf of Karen no problem

 The workflow was identical in 7.5 and it updated the record in the form

 LJ,

 I have worked with loading incidents directly on the incident form via AIE
 and bypassing the IncidentInterface_create form. This was for an ITSM 7.0
 go-live and moving data from ITSM 6 to ITSM 7 on a different server (a long
 time ago).



 Some of the things I had to take into consideration when doing this
 directly:
 - Any hidden fields that need to be populated for workflow tied to active
 links were populated. (Person ID comes to mind!)
 - Check the foundation data and make sure you use valid values when
 creating the incident
 - Check the hidden flag fields (create service request flag comes to mind)
 and make sure that the value you use is valid.
 - Ensure data integrity for relationships. (may not apply to what your
 doing)
 - Ensure that you populate all fields for the status/stage the incident is
 going to be created in.

 The incident interface create helps you to pre-populate values from a
 template if a template id is provided. It also validates the location info,
 op and prod cats, assignments etc. I take it you are still going via the
 API?


 Hope this helps.

  Hey Ravi,
  Yes, I'm familiar with the function of the form, but what I'm not aware
 of is WHY it's needed. Basic information that I have picked up over the
 years tells me that because of the fact that HD is VERY active link based,
 there are various business rules that are written and enforced when
 creating things through the GUI that aren't enforced when creating them
 through a push to the form itself. This apparently lead to the creation of
 the interface form to enforce the same business rules at the Filter level,
 and push it to the incident form when everything is copaseticthe
 question I'm raising is really 'what does it do'...what sort of validations
 does it perform that I won't get if I push directly to the incident form
 itself?

Re: Complex incomming email processing

2012-04-16 Thread Mahesh
 Here is what you need..

Forms:

1.  Incoming Processor: This form will store all Incoming Messages and
process the message for an Update/ Create action.



2.  Rules: This form will be used to configure rules to create Requests
based on the Incoming message either based on the incoming email address or
a keyword in the subject line.



Example:

· If the message is from sender X, create an Incident and assign to
Support Group 1.

· If the message has a KEYWORD in the subject line, create a Work
Order and assign to Support Group 2.



Workflow:



1)  Create a Filter on “AR System Email Messages” that will execute on
Submit and push all Incoming Messages to “Incoming Processor” form.

2)  Filters on “Incoming Processor”

a.  Check the subject line if it contains Incident/ Problem/ Change/
Request/ Work Order/ Task number. If “Yes”, parse the number and create the
corresponding work log entry.

b.  If the message doesn’t fall into “Update” action, check if there
are any associated rules in “Rules” form for a Create action.

c.   If none of the above, ignore the message.

 Hari,

 You didn’t say which version..

 If you are on the latest versions, You change it at one central place
 ‘Images’ and the logos in the forms are referenced from this. One change
 affects all the forms on which that image is referenced. You will see a new
 modified date on the form as soon as you change the image that is
 associated with that form.

 You may want to do it during non production hours as this will cause a
 massive definition change.

 ** Hi AIl,


 I have an query with respect to Logo branding in Remedy.I have an
 requirement of branding my customized Remedy ITSM suite by replacing the
 BMC logo with my company logo wherever needed.

 My current Remedy platform is ARS 7.5.04 and ITSM apps 7.6.001, database
 used is SQL server 2005
 I gone through all the forms available in Remedy along with customization
 and i found there are more than 2800+ forms.
 I have certain concerns which are as follows:
 1. We are using all ITSM apps, and our system is in production, so my
 management wants me to change all BMC logo with our company logo.
 2. Users are accessing Remedy, so my first task is to change the user
 facing forms with BMC logo with my company logo. So, can any one suggest
 what approach should i follow to achieve the target.Changing logo in all
 forms will be a tiring job like going through each  every form and
 changing the logo. Is there any other option of achieving this by any other
 way.
 3.What precautions should i take in terms of bulk changing the logo 
 How, if possible.
 4.Dimension of logo matters or the system take the logo in its defined
 format by its own.

 Also if i proceed with application wise like IM,PM,CM,SLM,Assets, then
 which forms should i consider like regular form, view form,vendor
 form,display only form,join form,core forms,etc.

 If anybody had worked in the past or currently working, please share your
 valuable suggestions.

 A very useful tip:

 Many of you may know this.. If you MUST write a Direct SQL, you NEVER
 should write SQL directly to T tables.. Instead write them against the view
 name.. for eg if you wanted to write one for the HPD:HelpDesk form whose
 table is lets say T654 do not write it to T654.. Describe HPD_HelpDesk and
 write it to that.. Then the upgrade would be seamless as the view name
 never changes..

 You may want to consider a project where if you have Direct SQL’s to the
 T tables, convert them to address the view names..

 Folks,

 

 I am finally in the process of upgrading our 6.03.00 patch 017
 implementation to the latest offered.  By “upgrade” I mean a transfer
 between old and new servers, not on the same server.  The revs are
 apparently too far apart to use Migrator to transfer code between, so I
 will be using a 7.1 server as an intermediate transfer point.  Migrator 7.1
 from the 6.3 box to the 7.1 box, then the latest Migrator from the 7.1 box
 to the 7.6.04 box.  I’ll also be using Export/Import tools as needed.  Note
 that no BMC Remedy applications are involved here, though I will be loading
 ITSM later.  My concern now is only with in-house developed code created
 under or compatible with version 6.3.  Solaris and Oracle on both sides.
 

 

 Anyone ever done this or have any suggestions as to problems that I may
 encounter?

You could a build a Menu based question that queries CTM:People using the

But if the information is strictly for fulfillment purpose, the forms

more fields and a simple set fields filter action to populate the

 I would like to know if there is a way to add more attributes in the

 Subject: Asset Management Console size issue on midtier

 Hi Listers

 I'm having an odd issue.

 We have two midtier servers connected to one ARS server;

 For some users, clicking on asset management or CMDB from the homepage
 produces a window with the toolbar, and a 20px tall view of the requested
 page - which is unusable.

 When it happens, it only happens on one of the midtiers, and never in the
 User tool. It appears that it's always the same midtier. Logging in from
 another machine produces the same result ... and several users can try from
 the same machine with the same browser, but not all get the anomaly.
 Flushing the midtier cache clears the anomaly temporarily.

 I can see that the div with class PageHolder is getting a Height of 20px
 - on the erroneous midtier, while on the other it gets a height of 461px.

 We're running ARS 7.5 midtiers with ITSM 7.6, with internet explorer 8 as
 the only available browser.

 Have any of you experienced anything similar?

 Best regards

 Jonas Stevnsvig

Is there a specific reason you want to skip the staging form ?

The easiest/ quickest thing would be to configure a SRD that uses Work Order

would recommend to leverage the SRM:RequestInterface_Create.

Re: Staging Forn for WSDL Data?

2011-08-30 Thread Mahesh
There is no out-of-the-box Web Service for Work Order. So, if you are
creating a Work Order directly without a Service Request, you will need to
build one using the form WOI:WorkOrderInterface_Create.

You can also configure a Service Request Definition that uses a Work Order
template associated with Tasks and have the external application consume
the web service SRM_RequestInterface_Create_WS which will then generate
Service Request -- Work Order -- Tasks.

 ** **

 ** 

 I was going to ask the same question.

  

 My reason is that my Support center staff do not need to see open
 tickets.   They put in about 90 tickets per day per person.  They have to
 put a ticket in for every call.  If they have to do all that extra clicking,
 it takes time.  I hate the fact that the Classic View forms are being
 deprecated.  For people working the tickets, the best practice view may be
 fine, but for entering a ticket and quickly verifying the info, it is not
 quick or easy.

  

 So, if my staff just open the form up and create a ticket without going
 through the click here, click here and finally click here process... will
 they lose any functionality?  

  

 I think the designers of the views should have spent a day in a busy
 support center.

 Are you talking about the OOB requester console that comes with Service
 Desk or the Service Request Management module? Either way, there is some
 functionality lost such as being able to see the Open tickets table. It
 all depends on what the requirement is. If all your users want to do is
 enter a request and forget about it, then having a direct entry form as
 you call it should be fine. Anything else, go with the requester console.

 I guess the question is... why don't you want to use the OOB entry form and
 why do you want to use the direct entry form?

Re: Adding Custom Attributes to Base Element

2011-07-22 Thread Mahesh
One of the best practice with regards to customization is having a custom
field ID range. Also, whenever you extend the data model, BMC recommends
usage of a custom namespace instead of BMC.CORE .

Thanks

 I've had the same experience as Victor noted.  I've added them with no

 The only thing I'll add is to watch Field ID's.  If the field ID that is
 used (generated or otherwise) is also used in another form feeding the same
 join, the field ID of one of those items on the join can change.  If that
 happens and you build workflow to process the field, it can have some type
 mismatch issues (ie one is an integer and the other a date field).  At least
 that's what we've seen.

 Since these attributes need to apply to all further subclasses I don't
 think creating a custom class is a good idea. I have added a few attributes
 myself to Base Element without any issues. The time needed for the
 attributes to propagate to all existing subclasses depends on your system
 and the number of subclasses you have. You still need to modify the AST
 forms for the new attributes to be available in the required classes.

 John,



 Thanks for your recommendation. That custom class you mention should be a
 subclass of Base Element (BE), right?

 I´m asking that because I don’t see how a custom subclass of Base Element
 can propagate attributes to all existing subclasses in CDM.

 I was thinking creating a custom namespace and adding attributes in BE but
 stored in custom namespace.

 ARS 7.6.04 SP1


 CMDB 7.6.04


 ITSM 7.6.04





 I need to add about ten (10) attributes (common to all kind of CIs) to
 BaseElement.


 I’ve read some threads (dated about 2009) recommending to NOT ADD
 attributes in Base Element Class, because of known errors in Asset – CMDB
 Sync process.


 What’s your experience about that? Understanding CDM Model is based in CIM
 Model I think there shouldn’t be problems in adding fields to Base Element
 class.


 Believe me if I’m telling you I’ve reviewed all BaseElement attributes from
 BMC.CORE and BMC.AM namespaces and I have no match for these 10 attributes
 required.


 I guess a known issue could be extense time you may have to wait after
 saving changes in CDM, because custom attributes in Base Element must be
 propagated to all subclasses.

 Alejandro

  Anything that tries to open a new ticket generates a new Incident ID,
 then if the transaction is abandoned that ID is considered consumed and
 the Next ID is incremented.  On ITSM 7.0 this occurred if you selected the
 Customer in the ticketing form; in 7.6.04 it occurs when you open a new
 Incident (or other) form, so the skipping of numbers will just get worse

  There is no Next Request ID Block size on:

  Also, except for very minor customizations like a field name, or

special ARSystem coding for BMC Remedy developed applications. *

 being processed, please wait' and go into a loop checking to see that the
 approval is processed and then refresh the screen via an event from the
 open window to the previous one.

 Am I missing the obvious?  Has anyone come up with a way to get the screen
 on the web client to refresh after an approval takes place?

 thank you

Re: changing the next Field ID -- team wants to know

2011-06-21 Thread Mahesh
You will still need to plug in the field-id manually while creating the
field.

 1.   Create Two forms

a.   Form to configure the field ranges

b.  Form to generate the ID sequentially (you will need to write
workflow for this).

2.   Export the above to a def file.

3.   Import the def file to the developer's VM.

4.   Configure the starting range of field-id accordingly in the form
created in step 1(a).

Thanks

Mahesh

Pritch,
To handle that scenario we have a Field ID generator form on one of our
boxes that every developer uses when creating fields, it gives them the
'next' in a line, this prevents us from having that 'merge' issue that you
described.

For us it's not a matter of knowing 'who did what'.  Since they are VM
images, everyone is working on separate copies which then get's merged via
passing of def files.  If we don't use range of field ID's, we end up with
all sorts of conflicts when we merge the forms / workflow.

 My personal preference still is using field ID range for type of data.. it
 helps with many things including shared workflow, matching IDs
 functionality, etc..

 Another way to do it and yet work with reserving ID ranges for different
 types of data, with no workflow required, is create a form and create all
 the fields needed in that form like a central container of all fields

 That way the only manual step would be choosing the field ID, and once its
 chosen and created, there is no chance of duplication.. Copy that field to
 whatever application form that you want to copy it to and it would carry
 forward with most of its properties with the exception of the x. y location
 which you really do not care about...

 You would only need to change the Required, Optional attribute wherever
 needed and permissions

 I remember actually some developers using this approach at one of the sites
 I worked at, do not remember where..

More importantly, exporting the data from SRM 2.2 and importing into SRM

Also, you have stated that it is an in-place upgrade. So, why are you still

Hi,

I just want to say that Mahesh suggestion is definitely the way to go.

The FLTR-Run-If (with a possible ACTL-shadow) should read:
('Field' LIKE %[^A-Za-z0-9-_]%)
And then give you an appropriate error message.

This should work on any DB, as it has nothing to do with the database, it is
evaluated internally within the AR System.

The initial ^ is the negator (NOT) character.

This is not the same thing as (NOT 'Field' LIKE %[A-Za-z0-9-_]%), as this
would first find a match of the characters, and then negate it.

In the example ?A? it would find the A and then negate it. In the first
suggestion above though it would find the first ?, which is a bad
character.

In other words the format [^...] is the only way to go.

The only thing I am not sure about is the dash-character (-), as it
specifies a range... You could try %-_A-Za-z0-9]% instead. Others have
suggested a backslash, but I do not think that will work here... Try
removing the dash altogether to see if you can get the rest to work at
least.

  **   Hi,
 
  I have the business requirement to create a web-service for People record
 creation. Steps followed:
 
  -Created a Staging form with the required fields only and also created
 the web-services for the same. Data is coming to the staging form correctly
 using the web-services.
  -Written Filters which will push the staging form data to
 ‘CTM:LoadPeople’ OOB form. This is also working.
 
  Now I have to automate the process to push the data from ‘CTM:LoadPeople’
 to ‘CTM:People’ form. The manual process is to go via Data Load Console and
 Validate and Promote the people data for new record creation in CTM:People
 form.
 
  Any suggestion to automate the Validate and Promote? so that the data
 from CTM:LoadPeople will push to CTM:People form for creating a new record
 and send the People ID back to CTM:LoadPeople form after creation ?
 
  Thanks,
  Sachin

SRD_Number (SRD ID) is Entry ID (Field ID 1) of the form

You need to specify the corresponding SRD Instance ID to Submit a request

Extracting Circular Relationships from 'BMC_BaseRelationship'

2011-05-25 Thread Mahesh
Hi All


We have an issue with Atrium Impact Simulator basically crashing doing
nothing and BMC support says that it is because of the circular
relationships which are not allowed.


Example:


Considering the following as relationship records


 Record #

Source Recon

Destination Recon

1

A1.ReconID

A2. ReconID

2

A2. ReconID

A3. ReconID

3

A3. ReconID

A4. ReconID

A3. ReconID

A1. ReconID

5

A4. ReconID

6

A5. ReconID

A4. ReconID

7

A5. ReconID

A6. ReconID

8

A7. ReconID

A8. ReconID

9

A9. ReconID

A11. ReconID

10

A5. ReconID

A3. ReconID


here is an example of circular relationships


 Record #

Source Recon

Destination Recon

1

A1.ReconID

A2. ReconID

2

A2. ReconID

A3. ReconID

4

A3. ReconID

A1. ReconID

5

A4. ReconID

A5. ReconID

6

A5. ReconID

A4. ReconID



Now I am working on a SQL query to extract those circular relations from
“BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseRelationship” but cannot seem to get the right logic.


Any help is greatly appreciated,


Thanks in advance

  Hi Experts,


 This may be a basic question but I am new to Assets, and got stuck here-

 I need to import certain asset records, for System Software.

 There is one Join Form - *AST:SystemSoftware*
 This is a inner join of form - *BMC:BMC_SystemSoftware* with itself.
 *BMC:BMC_SystemSoftware* is a inner join of forms - *
 BMC:BMC_SystemSoftware_* and *BMC:BMC_LogicalSystemComponent*
 *BMC:BMC_LogicalSystemComponent* is a inner join of forms - *
 BMC:BMC_LogicalSystemComponent_* and *BMC:BMC_AssetBase*


 **Join criteria is Instance ID on all joins.
 I tried to import data in *AST:SystemSoftware*, it created all entries
 in all above base forms, and record is populating in all join forms except
 AST:SystemSoftware.
 Record is there in BMC:BMC_SystemSoftware and join criteria
 is InstanceID match with itself, but record is not populating on
 AST:SystemSoftware.


 It works fine, if data is entered manually in AST:SystemSoftware form.
 I scanned logs for what are all changes that take place if record is saved
 manually, but my investigation was not sufficient I suppose.
 Any suggestion is much appreciated.

 2.  Update to the activity log on the service request does not update the

 however after mapping all the fields that seemed necessary I seem to be

 I don’t know where to go with this error.

 I ran filter logging on the server to see if anything surfaced on this but
 nothing jumped out as to why this is happening.



 I have separate interfaces that were setup for different projects that
 included a display form that people would fill out and click a Submit

 with the same fields I am importing and the tickets get generated as
 resolved with no problem.



 Perhaps a merge is surfacing bad code or something?

 Anyone have any ideas?

Re: SRD Service Request field mapping

2010-11-11 Thread Mahesh
Hi Christine

The data is already saved on the AIF and if you don't want to replicate the
data on multiple forms, you could view the Advanced Interface Form using
View Service Request -- More Details. If this is too many clicks, I
would recommend creating a button and dynamically opening the corresponding
AIF. I usually hide the View Service Request link if the Request is using
AIF.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

 Thanks for the quick reply.

 I did not use the AIF with backend mapping. I looked at that first. We

 roles, sales organization tabs/fields, tech org tab/fields and lots of
 other stuff in embedded pages.

 It was my understanding that I would have had to create all the extra
 fields on the fulfillment form as well. Now, I may be wrong on that as
 I haven't had any training. I read the manuals, read this board and do
 a lot of testing.

 *Subject:* Modify login id



 **

 I'm wondering if anyone out there has a simple way of modifying a login id
 for a user and any of their tickets they have created, or been assigned.  We
 have users that are given a login id one way if they are a contractor and a
 different way if they are an employee.  The problem is some contractors
 eventually become employees.

 We want to be able to modify the employee's current People, User form
 records and at the same time modify any tickets associated with their old
 login id and link them with their new login id.

 I was thinking of creating workflow and a form, for input, but this may
 need to be a SQL script.  I'm just curious if anyone else has done this and
 is willing to share.

 We are running on a windows server with ARS 7.5.00 patch 002 with ITSM
 7.0.03 patch 009



 Thanks,



 Larry B.

If you are using Best Practice view, on the advanced search bar, look for

 ** Hi ARSList

 We're working with Incident Management 7.6.00 p001 and Service Request
 Management 7.6.00 p002.  Our service desk is struggling with one particular
 issue and I'm sure there's a really easy solution we just haven't found yet.


 Our end users submit tickets via SRM and they are sent into Incident
 Management.  This works just fine.  However our end users receive Request
 IDs and our service desk works with Incident IDs.  The service desk just
 needs to search by Request ID within Incident Management to find the user's
 incident.

 Where is the request ID (for SRM, not the incident ID) in Incident
 Management?  It's probably one of those things where it's so obvious we're
 missing it, but we've looked and searched online and must not be looking for
 the right thing because we can't find it.

 Set field action is like a modify action on vendor which is not allowed

 Hi All,
 I want to transfer ldap data from vendor form to staging form(regular
 form). ARS version - 7.6.03, DB - MS SQL 2005
 For this, I created one escalation with push field action in which it
 create/modify the entries only if 'sAMAccountName' = $sAMAccountName$.
 Mapped the vendor data to staging form. The issue is that escalation
 pushing NULL to staging form though I can see/query the vendor form data
 from arsystem.
 I tried the following scenarios also ---


- Created another vendor form, no luck
- Created another escalation, no luck
- Tried escalation to push vendor to another regular form, no luck
- Tried with matching ids in push field action, no luck
- tried same escalation between two regular forms where it worked
perfect, but why it not working between vendor and regular form.
- Tried with vendor form with one field only, no luck
- I know it was easy to create such transfer prior to 7.6.03, is
there any issue with this 7.6.03 version?

Re: Upgrading ITSM 7.0.3 to 7.6 doesn't seem to work

Hi Ramon

Firstly, thanks for the details.

We were asked to delete all the custom join forms which we did and still no
success. May be HPD:Help Desk_SLA (which is out of the Box) is another
form that needs to be deleted.

This is definitely good information for other customers.

Thanks

 While I don’t have full details into the problem.  With SLM installed, the
 likely solution is to drop the join form created by SLM/SLA, run the ITSM

 installer ran for 26 hours eventually completing with warnings and the
 Incident Management Error log indicated that lot of def files  arx
 files were not imported.

 Below are the details regarding this defect:

 If you do not enter anything into question 8 the value you select in

 I’ve verified that they exist, but I’m wondering if some records that

 in Change Management a filter is being called named
 NTE:NPC:GetPreferences_155_NTE, which is unable to find anything, and
 immediately after that the record in NTE:SYS-NT Process Control is deleted.
 I’m currently testing some things in that area, but I’m thinking that it’s
 possible that SRM deleted the data in the form that it’s referencing.

 generating emails.  The Email Engine itself works, so our custom
 applications that don’t use the NTE subsystem are fine, but most other
 emails from ITSM simply don’t get generated.



 In my Filter log, I see (in the example of Change Management) that it gets
 to the filter
 CHG:CRQ:NotificationGenerator_899_ModifyNotificationProcessControl`! and
 pushes the data correctly, but after that I don’t see anything occur where
 it would send an email.  I do see that the Change Manager information is
 pulled back in NTE:NPC:GetPreferences_150_PeopleSupportStaff, but beyond
 that it doesn’t really do anything.



 So basically, my Production system is dead in the water because of this.
 We’re on ITSM 7.0.3 Patch 9 and Patch 7000, and this only became an issue
 after upgrading to SRM 7.6 Patch 1.  Unfortunately, it looks like SRM
 modified thousands of ITSM forms, fields, and workflow, so there is no good
 way to tell what could have been affected by this.  Also unfortunately, BMC
 support has been less than helpful, trying to tell me it’s just a
 performance problem, and not listening to me and for some reason thinking
 that it only affects Approval emails.

 An unfortunate thing with support is that I opened this call on Friday, but

 Shawn,
 Did you install this in a QA or DEV environment? Can you replicate the
 issue there? Have you checked the install logs and patch logs for errors?
 Just for kicks.. maybe check the NTE:Sysnotification messages form to see
 if the ITSM related records are there and active. Also, if the BMC support
 analyst is not understanding your issue or handling it correctly, just
 contact the support manager. You should have gotten their name in the e-mail
 confirmation on submission of your ticket. They are pretty good at following
 up.
 Good luck.

placed in the Work Order - Work Info tab.


 So far, I have implemented the service request using a Work Order Template

 see all the user responses but it is not being translated to the backend
 request. We have made sure it’s not an entitlements issue or permissions
 issue as this happens even with an Admin account. Has anyone run into this?
 Thanks in advance.

Another thing that may not be directly related to this subject is the Search
criteria or various forms.

For example, on the Incident we can search for a person based on Last Name,
Corporate ID, Email but not Login ID and then it retrieves everyone ignoring
the People Profile Status.

I think it should retrieve People only with a profile status of Enabled.

 Hi all,



 I have a requirement to modify the HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WS in such
 a way that First name and Last name should no more be a required field,
 rather

 there should be a new field on the WSDL called Empl serial number and that
 should be a required field. Also , i need to create a workflow which would
 populae

 the first name and last name on HPD:Incidentinterface_Create form using
 Empl serial num(from web service) and thus creating the incident ticket.



 Any ideas /thoughts on this, please share..

 atleast we can get the corporate ID field

 HPD:IncidentInterface_Create in 7.5.  I only ran one test upgrade from
 7.0.03.009 to 7.5.01.001, and it went so badly that I deleted the db, so I

 you need in ITSM 7.5, unless they never added Corporate ID to

 Can anyone with an ITSM 7.5.x system available clarify that for Sayana??



 Personally, I want to be on 7.6 with Best Practice views available for ALL

   1. A Staging Form to store all Incoming Emails.

   3. Filter(s) on the staging form to parse the number (using functions

 Hi Everyone,



 We gave up trying to do the ARS v7.5 platform upgrade on our servers.  Five
 months was enough time to waste on that.  Yes, we tried everything ...
 that's not my question here today.



 So, we decided to build a new server (vm) and start from scratch with a
 brand new ARS v7.3 P3 install.  That worked great.  ITSM is NOT involved in
 this process at all.



 Then I exported forms and other workflow objects and did the imports.  Kind
 of a long job because the new server database is on a very slow SAN (nothing
 I can fix right now).



 It had not occurred to me that I would loose my original Table ID
 associated with that form on another server.  This is a problem since there
 is workflow with SQL statements which of course I can change.  But, we also
 have numerous programs pulling data from Remedy that use the Table ID's
 created by another development group.  This would require them to change
 their programs, possibly dblinks etc.  Not a prospect I'm looking
 forward to.



 I've only imported data in a couple of forms so far (12 hours worth) and
 don't want to proceed if I'm going to delete it anyway.  I'm using rrrChive
 for the data and thankfully it's bringing over the correct field 1 values.
 I do have to figure out how to use rrrChive to include a date modified
 parameter to get updates.



 Has anyone been successful at changing a Table ID and how did you do it?
 Were there any ramifications?



 Appreciate your help, thanks,



 Susan

Re: ARS v7.5 - importing forms changed Table ID

I am assuming that you will have the same issue in future migrations/upgrade
and I would rather spend time analyzing/ tweaking/ optimizing workflow
by removing hardcoded values, use Views in Direct SQL etc.. which may result
in better system performance.

Just an opinion.

 I had 400+ forms to import and what it did was give them sequential
 numbers.  Usually I've just copied the database over but with the old vs new
 version that was not going to work.  I can't say I gave the table ID much
 thought ahead of time but will certainly remember going forward.

 So all the table IDs I want to use are already used.  But the good news is
 there are really only about 10 tables I have to manipulate.

 I did a quick survey of the other application owners and there's a mixed
 bag with several using Table IDs.

 My choices appear to be:

 1.  Use archgid to change the wrong table to a new number and then change
 the right table to the number it should be.  But I cannot find archgid on
 the server, where to get it in the KB.  There was a post about using the
 windows_zg_ia_sf.jar file which I have but I have to get the server guys to
 put it on the unix server.  And then I guess magically I'll find archgid
 there.  Does archgid change all the related table IDs, T, H, B etc?

 2.  I think it was Fred's idea to basically delete the wrong forms in
 question.  Reset set the Table ID and then import them individually after
 each required Table ID reset.  I assume that I reset the Table ID in the
 database.  Rather than play around maybe someone could provide the correct
 sql statement.  I'd have to reimport the workflow objects etc also and the
 11hrs worth of data which of course is on one of the forms will need to be
 recopied over.  But I figure I only have in the neighborhood of 200 hrs of
 data to move so that's not the worst of it.

 #1 sounds good and I have some garbage forms to test it on.  Any other
 last thoughts?

 Is the table ID buried in anything else?  I have only seen the schema name
 in workflow and checked but didn't see anything obvious that might be a
 cross reference.

 I really do appreciate the input.  These are the kinds of things you want
 to talk over.  Ok, so I do talk to myself but sometimes I'm not as creative
 as you !

   LJ,

 I don't disagree...I am just saying that using that function of archig may
 still pose a risk, since it is probably not used often, even though it seems
 a small risk.
 But if I ever had to change the table ID, I would use the archig utility,
 I would not do the manual updates at all.

 Susan:

 Yet another option is to create a database view with the schemaid you
 would like,provided of course there is no tabeld with that ID. So for
 instance let's sat you have table T500 and you would like T300, check
 whether there is a table T300, and if not, create a daatbase view caleld
 T300 that referes to table T500. This way, you don't need to change anything
 on the Remedy structures.

 table ids….still fragile, but less so that table id J

 ** Hi all,

 I have defined several service request to be approved using Service Request
 Approval - Level instead of Management Chain. However, on the Approval
 Mappings, the mapping criteria is only Navigation Categories, SRD
 Information and Requestor Information. Is there any way out-of-box to do
 approvals based on the requestor's department e.g. for IT, the approval go
 to a certain group and for HR, the approvals to another group.

 I saw it was possible with change and I am wondering why not for Service
 Requests. I will be very grateful for any help.

 Thanks,

 Richard
