Notification Preferences in 7
Hey everyone When we set everyone up in the system, we set the default notification to email. In each People record, email is selected as the default notification. However, in the Notification Preferences table, every notification is set to Alert, and when I select them I can't modify them. There must be a place to set it I can't find in the documentation...

Re: Notification Preferences in 7
Thanks! Did we do something wrong in setting up accounts? Or is this a feature not a bug? It seems odd that every user would be expected to have to do this kind of configuration.

7.1 Email weirdness
Hey everyone- We are having an interesting issue with the email engine. We had an outgoing and incoming email box, ID #s 1 and 2 which we disabled and created 2 new ones, #3 and 4. When sending emails directly from the messages form, everything works fine, however the filters which send emails are still trying to use the original disabled mailboxes. Any way I can prevent this?

Re: Adding custom permissions groups in 7.1
You're right, it is. The company I am working for is struggling financially and I've had to find a new position, but I'm working to try and get this new version up for them before I leave. That's why I'm trying to find OOTB solutions and avoid custom work. We have a fresh install and are trying to go pretty much OOTB. However, the custom form I made is important and unique and has to be retained. I made the group and gave it the number . It shows up in the admin client for permissions, and I can set qualifications using it and put people in it from the User form. However, Joe Average here won't have access to the user or group form. It's looking like I'll have to go custom or allow someone access to those forms.

Application list order on 7.1 home page
Hey everyone- I'm still having a problem setting the application order in the home page of 7.1.

Assigned solution ticket 7.1

Display Order in Application Field
Hey all. I'm trying to change the order of items shown in the application field in the home page in 7.1. I went into each application entry point and changed the display numbers but they would not move- is there something else that I need to change? Also, I would like to change the wording on the headers displayed.

ITSM 7.1 question
Hey everyone- Our company is one which primarily provides support to other companies. I've been setting everything up in 7.1 and have hit a snag. There is a company to which we provide support. That company has many sub companies. There is basically one woman in charge of all those accounts. I made a company entry for the parent company, and one for each sub company. The parent company is in the organization of the sub companies. I made her record in the parent company, but gave her access to all the sub companies. Most of those sub companies do not have any contacts besides her. If I log in as her to put in a ticket for a sub company, I cannot change the company field to one of them. An administrator cannot change the company after the ticket is created either. Anyone have any idea how do accomplish something like this? I don't want to give her multiple logins for each company. I considered making the sub companies sites rather than separate companies, but you cannot control access by site, only company- though if that's the only way I guess this one company could be an exception.

(Filter/API/SQL) Make sure the user of interest is part of that group. Have the user re-login to the server (if you change there 'Group List' or the server setting was changed. Note: I am not sure if a server restart/parse config is needed after the server side change or not. I think not, but I could be wrong.) and in the User tool go to ...

(API/Database[SQL]/Filter) I use a group that is only used for this function. (So I never have to change the server setting.) I also suggest not leaving users with this ability.

Re: Attention people licensing 7.1 on a Linux server
Hey David- thanks for the follow-up. We don't have a defect ID. The tech we were on the phone with included a note he would be looking into the issue. Here is the work note he put in after our webex: Phone Call - Outbound to BOB MILLER Held a Webex with Bob Miller, Charles and Chris. Charles and Chris are the engineers while Bob is the project manager. Charles showed me the error he was getting whenever he applied the licenses using the User Tool. He told me that they were getting this error regardless of the license they tried to apply. Sudipta from the licensing support team had provided them a temporary license and even this one did not work. This was a new Red Hat Linux server, where they installed AR Server 7.1. I told Chris that I was able to successfully applied a license on a Redhat Linux, but I had used the Admin on 7.0.1 tool to do this. He said he had tried the Admin tool on 6.3 an dhad gotten the same error. He then quicly installed the 7.0.1 Admin tool and applied the license and sure enough it worked! He then went and applied the permanant non-expiring license and that also worked just fine. Interesting!! They were happy in getting the server license, there were a couple more questions and I told them I would provide them information on the following issues. 1. On the Admin licenses window (form), why does the format show 6.0? What does this mean? 2. Why doesn't the 7.1 User tool work for applying the license? I was going to try it and see if I got the same error. Get back to them with these answers. The issue number was ISS03180336. If you got it to work using the 7.1 user client then I suppose we still have an issue that could be specific to us, but with a work around of using the older admin tool.

Transferring a Server license
Hey everyone- This is probably something fairly simple that just isn't clearly explained on the support site. We want to take a license off our current dev server and put one on a brand new server that we are doing a fresh installation on. I did a purge request where I supplied the old license key and the new host ID. I got a new key via email fairly quickly, but when I applied it I got the warning ARWARN [469] Warning, this key is not valid for this server. The preceding message occurred during the execution of active link AR System Licenses Console:Update License -- action 1. (ARNOTE 1101) After clicking OK the normal BMC Software herby grants... popup appeared. Our old license was for 6.3, and we are doing an install now of 7.1. We are on RHEL 5 and DB is Oracle 10g.

I did a purge request where I supplied the old license key and the new host ID. I got a new key via email fairly quickly, but when I applied it I got the warning ARWARN [469] Warning, this key is not valid for this server.

Anyone tried installing 7.1 + apps on a RHEL 5 server?
Hey all- We have a ticket open with BMC but have not gotten a response back yet. While RHEL 5 is supposed to be a supported platform with 7.1, we're having some problems with our install. The first thing we ran across was a syntax error when an install script for ARServer was doing a version check of the OS. Apparently it was looking for a 3 digit version number and RHEL returned a 4 digit one. We got around this by changing the script to reflect our version number was good, but it shows that the script could not have been tested on RHEL 5. Now we're trying to install the apps, and while the install says it has completed, there are errors all over the place. The worst is the one we have opened the ticket against. Here's what we sent them, minus the attachments which I can provide to anyone who would like to see them. Our installation of Incident Response is failing on many definition imports when we review the output in RemedyIncidentManagement.html file (attached). Also, there are a number of errors seen in the output of the script that indicate problems with memory allocation, followed by a dump of a memory map. Possible error:Continue waiting? [y] *** glibc detected *** ./arplugin: double free or corruption (out): 0x04246278 *** Could this be a library conflict with RHEL 5? Here are the glibc libraries I have installed on the server: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -qa | grep glibc glibc-common-2.5-12 glibc-headers-2.5-12 compat-glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.26 glibc-2.5-12 glibc-devel-2.5-12 compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26 I have also attached the list of all rpm packages installed (output of rpm -qa) to help in reproducing the problem. kernel info: $ uname -a Linux dev001 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 #1 SMP Mon Jun 25 17:06:19 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux It seems to us that the scripts are simply broken. Has anyone actually gotten 7.1 and the apps installed on RHEL 5? We are installing as ROOT and the DB is Oracle 10g.

Error log from install- successful install with a lot of failures ok?
Hey everyone- Today we installed Incident on a 7.1 server, OS RHEL 5 and DB Oracle 10g. The application successfully installed according to the script, but in the text of the error log we saw a lot of things like the following. Is this something to be concerned about? I logged in and things appear to be ok, but it is a totally un-configured system with no data at all, so I can't test workflow. In a nutshell, there's a lot of red Faileds.

Thanks Joe and Drew for the responses! From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 4:30 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Error log from install- successful install with a lot of failures ok? Since you are saying its a fresh install, I would roll back and install the application again? If that is not a possibility you can manually try importing the def files. I would FTP the files from the path you see on your logs to a local windows machine with the Admin tool installed, and import these def files. Problem with that though is if there were failed .arx files that had to be imported into the forms, you will have to do that manually too. So basically if its a fresh install I would scratch it off and reinstall.. After installing the AR Server though, put the server in a 'Development Cache Mode'. This may eliminate any timeouts caused during the install, thus minimizing such errors. Also make sure you have sufficient data and temp space in your database for the ARSYSTEM database.

Re: Report on Results (UNCLASSIFIED)
When I had to do something like this, here's what I did. I'm sure there are better ways. I created an Advanced Search form that could do a key word search across all ticket types, so I was searching one form from another. Put a hidden character field on the form. For each field that's not $NULL$, put 'FIELD1' LIKE (% + $FIELD1$ +%) AND into the character field. Basically, your run if is FIELD1' != $NULL$, and do a set fields to the hidden field. Repeat this for all your searchable fields, setting them all to increasing execution order numbers. The final active link can strip out that final AND thusly: LEFT($Search Criteria$, LENGTH($Search Criteria$) - 4) You can push the results to run your report, or display them on a table on the form. Like I said, I'm sure someone has a better way, but this worked for me.

Re: Help with Run-If Qualification
It's my understanding that a TR value only exists if it's != to the DB value- it exists because it's different, so the qualification TR.field != $NULL$ is the same as TR.field != DB.field. So ('TR.Assigned To' != $NULL$ AND 'Status' != Assigned) should work. Also, sorry if this is obvious, but TR and DB values can onlu be checked with filters, not Active links.

ARERR 8939 AR System Plug-In server is not responding
I set up a demo box for ITSM 7, and I get the error ARERR 8939 when we try and open the Overview Console or the Problem Management Console. I looked on the admin client and there is not a Plug-In server configured. Do I have to configure one? Everything else is all out of the box- running on a desktop with XP Pro, SP2 on a demo version of SQL 2005.

Open Window Commit Changes Close Window
Hey, I have a question about this action- I made a button which launched a regular form in submit mode. The form can only be seen by people in a group I made especially for this form. It works fine in the client, but when people try it via the web, it will not submit. I have no idea why. So I was thinking maybe I should make the button pop up a display only form which will push the information to the regular form on close. How should I do this? I'm launching one form from another form, and I want to keep data on the second form on close. How does the field mapping work here? The on close field mappings treats the first form as the parent form. Thanks, Chris ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:Where the Answers Are
Re: Open Window Commit Changes Close Window
Hey Norm, I'm trying to get the data not only to be submitted to the new form, but also to push it to a second form we use to keep track of all tickets, called mdwAllTickets. It's a form that most groups don't have access to, so if I try and push to it with an AL, I get an error that the user doesn't have access to the fields. I can do it with a filter however, but only if it fires on submit. So I'm trying to work out a way that I can get a submission from the web on this form. I suppose I could try and do an Open Window on the new form (Dealer Signup), map hidden core fields on open, then have a button that says Submit that does a push to the Dealer Signup form. Then the filter can run on Dealer Signup on submit. Should that work? The other problem I keep having is that on close there is a dialog that says Changes have not been saved. Do you really want to close the window? If that still happens when the data is actually saved as it should be I will have to find a way to suppress that.

Re: Open Window Commit Changes Close Window
True, I could do that. I wasn't here when that workflow was designed, so I never really thought to change it. The form is hidden, but it was designed to have information pushed to it via filters from all other ticket types, so I was following that precedent. I did get it to work by Open Window (map $USER$ to Submitter field on open, matching field IDs on close) Push Fields (off Save button) - Close Window, but the Changes have not been submitted, do you really want to close? is still popping up.

Re: ITSM 7 company config advice
Bump- Does anyone know how to set up a customer company to get support from an operating company? I can change the company in a ticket after it's created, but the default only choice on creation is the company to which the person (requester) belongs. I'd like to know an out of the box way to do this- we're trying to alter as little as possible on the initial release. I tried only having one company, ours, but then there's no way to limit what people can see.

Why would this not work on the web?
I created a form and made a Submit button via FormForm Action Fields Submit. Access to the form and workflow was dependent on being in a group made specifically for the form. If I log into the client as a user with permissions only to that group and a floating license, everything works fine- the information is submitted and a record created. If I log into the web client as the same user and try it, it does not save. Other workflow on the form runs. The people who will be using this form will be doing it only via the web, so it's important to get working. Why would the Submit work on the client, but not the web?

Re: Changing a Date/Time field to Date
I guess you'll have to try L.J.s solution then. If it's something where you just no longer have a need for the time information, you can set the field to display time only and strip the time out when writing workflow, but that would probably be just as much work as replacing the field. $DATE$ For Date/Time fields, the current date (time defaults to midnight). Anything stored in a date/time field is stored as the number of seconds since UNIX epoch time, which includes the date and time.

Compiling fields from different records for printing
Hiya- I'm not sure how much of what we have here is 'out of the box', but basically we have 2 main ticket types, ISS and HD. Both used different methods for work notes: ISS had a spiffy little thing that pushes work notes to another form and somehow can make a HTML view of it all, and HD used the Diary field. I was told to make the HD work notes work like the ISS work notes. I did (except the HTML builder part on which I'm lost). However, the people who used the HD tickets are now unhappy because there was a 'Print Case' button which printed out information about the ticket including the Work Notes from the (no longer used) diary field. Now I have to figure out a way for them to print out all the work notes. Basically what I did was created a new form called Interaction which stored the Work Notes/emails/phone calls and relates it to the original ticket. Each note has it's own record, a reference to the original ticket, and a GUID. What I need to be able to do is take the note from each record where the referring ticket is the same and push it all into a field that can be printed and be formatted correctly. I'm at a total loss on how I can do this, just like I was at a loss on how to build out the HTML view of all history as on the ISS tickets. Anyone have any idea how to do this, or something that will achieve the same effect? Chris ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:Where the Answers Are
Re: Compiling fields from different records for printing
So what I did was an Open Window with a type of Report, and created a report on the Interaction form which has Source Request ID, Submitter, Date and Note. The window opens where HD Case ID = Source ID and the source is printer. That works, but it prints each record to its own page. Anyone got a better solution?

Re: include a blank value at the top of an 'on search' menu
I think he's saying to add a record that is CLEAR, not a NULL record, IE you have a record with a number that has the word clear in it, and when that record is called have work flow set the fields to NULL.

This prevents you from adding a Clear button to the form and taking up extra space. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neel Guatam Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 2:39 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: include a blank value at the top of an 'on search' menu ** Hi Norm, I can't add that as this form from which I'm pulling values from, pulls values in turn from another form and stuff like that and they are like the required values and I can't even have a record saved on that form with a blank value :-( btw I'm using 7.0.01 Neel Gautam From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaiser Norm E CIV USAF 96 CS/SCCE Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 2:37 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: include a blank value at the top of an 'on search' menu Add a blank record to the form you're pulling from.
