Unable to update 'Licenses Available' on System Software form

2009-10-06 Thread Mike Pugh
My asset team needs to be able to update the 'Licenses Available' field
on the System Software form within ITSM 7.1.03 patch 6. I've updated the
CMDB class attribute and gave permission to the Asset Admin and Asset
User roles but that hasn't worked at all. I tried opening up the form in
Remedy Admin tool but was unable to change permissions on that field.

 

Does anyone know how to make this field read/write ? Currently we can
only set a value when creating a new asset but then it's read-only.

 

Thanks!

To be fair, just because the AR Server mid-tier is a POS doesn't mean current 
web browsers aren't ready or capable of handling a well designed ticketing 
system.

I guess that might be the end of the line for us - as long as the central 
helpdesk needs to have a support console and multiple tickets open 
simultaneously for a combination of walk-in customers, callers, and resolution 
transactions, the current crop of web browsers are completely inadequate for 
that purpose.  We had them try to use the 7.1 mid-tier when we migrated to 7.x 
last year, and they gave it a full thumbs down on everything except speed.  The 
helpdesk manager (and we in the admin shop) are fairly dependent on the rapid 
export of ad-hoc reported data to .csv for manipulation in Excel, and I don't 
see the web interface being adequate for that anytime soon.  There will have to 
be some revolutionary changes in both web browsers and the mid-tier before 
abandoning the User Tool is anything but a pipe dream.

Thanks for the info - we have been able to get the client (v7.1) to run
by installing the software on a virtual box and then copying the install
dir over to our local Windows 7 box - I was just hoping to get a proper
install done.

Mike, 
We ran into the same thing on 7.5 with the disk space issue.  I opened a
call with BMC and got the following response: 

"Windows 7 falls under the "or higher release" part of the BMC
compatibility Matrix and thus will be supported upon its GA release
later this year.  Note that since Windows 7 has not yet been released,
it wouldn't be supported until Microsoft GA's it." 

An analyst here said he was able to get the 6.3 client to install.  We
did not try 7.1.

the installer for 7.5 (even while running as admin and w/ compatibility

Mike,

 

There is a regular form - 'CTM:SYS-Access Permission Grps' which can be
used for fetching the right group ID against the 'Assigned Group ID'.

 

Fetch 'Permission Group ID' from the above form using the qualification
-   "  'Support_Group_ID'  = $Assigned Group ID$  " and use 'Permission
Group ID' field for sending the notification.

 

It works.

 

Thanks,

Subject: Re: Problem with Group Notification Workflow

Hi,

 

I hope this helps

 

Findings: 

a) Group ID for CTM:Support Group and Group ID on group form are
seperate entities.

b) When a new Support Group is created on the CTM:Support Grroup form, a
record is created in the Group Form as well.

c) The Group name in the Group form contains the Group ID, which is an
integer value.

d) When any group notification is triggerred, the email engine looks up
the Group name field of the Group form.

e) The email engine does not find any match in the group form, because
the group name field contains the group ID and not the group name.

f) And therefore, group notifications fail.

 

Workarounds:

a) Modify the Group name on the Group Form: Instead of the Group ID,
this field should be populated with the Group name. A filter can be
written on the CTM:Support Group form, which modifies the Group form
when any new group is created or modified. 

Short comings of this approach: Company1-> Org1-> Group1 and
Company1->Org2->Group1 cannot exist togather. Group Name should be
unique on Group form. 

 

b) If the Group Notification (sent to the Assignment Group) is to be
fired from, say, HPD:HelpDesk, then create a new zTmp_GroupName field.
On Submit and Modify of Assignment Group field, create a filter that
reads the GroupID from CTM:SYS Access Permission form. You can query
this form by specifying Company->Org->Group to get Group form's Group
ID. In the Notify action, specify this zTmp field, instead of Assignment
Group field. 

Short comings of this approach: The administrator has to be aware of
such zTmp fields created for Group Notification purpose.

Veeral Oza

Re: Problem with Group Notification Workflow

George,

 

I tried your suggestion with no luck. Now the message just appears with
the Support Group ID in the Address. I also tried using the InstanceId
from the CTM:Support Group form but that didn't work either. 

 

I'm going to try and dig around the Incident Management filters to see
what it is passing in since that is working on our server.

 

Thanks!

** 

Mike,

 

The "Send To" field is resolved in a very strict way.  From the Online
Manual:

Note: AR System resolves the contents of the User Name field by first
checking for a matching request in the User form. If found, the
notification is sent to that user. If not found, the server checks for a
matching request in the Group form. If the name corresponds to a group
name, the notification is sent to all members of that group. If no User
or Group definition is found, the contents of the User Name field are
used as is and treated as a guest user of the system.

This all made pretty good sense before 7.0...now the "Group Name" that
it's referring to here is going to be the GROUPID (eg: 100089) and
not the actual name as you and I would LIKE it to be.

 

I would suggest that you try sending your email to the Assigned Group ID
instead of the name.

 

Hope that helps,

Gp

I've created an escalation that should bring in a support group's name
into a Notify action so that it e-mails all members of the group. For
some reason it's not resolving the group name so it's not pushing the
notification out to all of the group's members.

 

I've double checked the group name several times and it's fine. Incident
Management is able to send a group notification without a problem.

 

I'm passing in $Assigned Group$ to the User Name property of the Notify
action. It comes from a form I created and, for example, the form
contains "Enterprise Systems" in that field, and I have an "Enterprise
Systems" Support Group defined.

 

I'm running ARS 7.1 and ITSM 7.0.02 patch 6. 

 

Does anyone have any clues?

 

Thanks!

What versions are you using?   ARServer, ITSM Suite/Applications,
Database?

 

There's a checkbox on the filter that sends the notification to indicate
whether or not to include that URL in the outbound message.

 

If you're using 7.0.01 then you might look at the FILTER:
NTE:NTS:Email_200_SystemNT and look at the NOTIFY action for the
"Shortcuts" in the middle of that screen.

 

I _think_ that's the one that would get it for you.
