Remedy Performance Measurement [I]

Classification: For internal use only

All,

Anyone know of a good tool that can be used to obtain objective 
performance data on a bespoke Remedy system? Does anyone have any 
experience of Column IT's Sentinel tool?

Any assistance/leads would be appreciated.

Regards,

Paul

Fast & List Threads [I]

2011-11-25 Thread Paul Nicolaides
Classification: For internal use only

All,

I am currently reviewing a well established fully bespoke Remedy system 
for opportunities for performance improvement and would like to know 
peoples thoughts on my proposed change to the fast and list thread counts. 
The hardware powering this system is current and powerful and the virtual 
slice Remedy 7.1  is running on has 16 cpu cores assigned to it along with 
32gb RAM.

I am proposing to set the Fast threads to 48/48 (Min/Max) and List to 
80/80 (Min/Max) based on the BMC recommendation that fast threads should 
be 3x cpu cores and list 5x cpu cores. This is a huge increase to existing 
settings which are 12/30 Fast and 12/25 List.

Any thoughts would be gratefully received.

Regards,

Paul

Thanks Misi,

Yes indeed... not an easy task at all but think I am making progress via 
the assignlong/short fields within the actlink_xxx tables. If I can crack 
it I will post here.

Relating SQL from AWR to Remedy Workflow [I]

2011-11-15 Thread Paul Nicolaides
Classification: For internal use only

Hi,

I am currently working through all high cost SQL identified in an Oracle 
(10g) AWR report. Does anyone know the best way to relate these SQL 
statements to the Remedy active links and filters? I am querying the 
actlink_set/push etc table via SQL Developer but so far I haven't been 
able to find the right combination of statements/tables to lookup the SQL.

As always, thanks in advance!

Regards,

David,

Why not create a totally new bespoke form from scratch and point it at the 
out of the box forms?

Re: Displaying Remedy information in a NOC [I]

Rick,

I would suggest a fully bespoke dashboard page using flashboards to 
display useful information. i.e servers per location/data center etc.

Re: Displaying Remedy information in a NOC






That's what I thought - but before folks answer, need to make sure it's 
not some type of add-on in Remedy.

The folks in our NOC log into the system and go to the dashboard page, 
just like any other user.

I have been tasked with coming up with some solutions for how to display a 
Remedy dashboard in the NOC.  What kinds of solutions are you all using?   
I thought that the easiest way would be to simply display the mid-tier web 
page.  Is that workable?  They want the data to be pretty much real time.

Re: How to get the Users's license? [I]

2011-10-19 Thread Paul Nicolaides
Classification: For internal use only

Kerry,

The trouble you will have is when to fire the check. If you want to 
capture the users that had a Floating Lic but have now got a Read Floater 
(due to timeout etc), you will need to fire the workflow before every 
transaction unless you only wish to track those users who are given a read 
floater on login. If that is the case, you could fire workflow on login 
that sets a hidden field and commits. If they have a Floater the commit 
will save the checkbox etc... if they have a read it wont. You can then 
use that checkbox in your check qualification.

Regards,

Paul
