How to have the To field blank in the emails sent by Email engine?

2007-06-21 Thread Ray M
I want the emails that go from the Remedy email engine using filter (notify
action) to go with only BCC addresses. So under the Messages tab in the
Filter, I have the email address in the BCC field. I donot want the email to
have anything in the To field. But the filter action does not let me leave
the UserName field blank.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

ARSPerl v/s Webservice

2007-06-20 Thread Ray M
Hi: I have to make a decision whether to submit ticket creation and update
using Webservice or ARSPerl. I am leaning towards ARSPerl just b'cos it's
much simpler to code and any changes in the form will involve a minor change
in the ARSPerl code. Wondering if there is anything I will miss going with
ARSPerl instead of Webservice.

** 

I do not think the alert thread has anything to do with the Email engine..
the alert threads primary function is to poll through the Alert List form,
and to send these Alerts to listening Alert clients. It does the same as
what the arnotifier daemon used to do.

 

Specifying more than one SMTP server in my opinion will not benefit you in
any way as the email engine contacts the SMTP server only after processing
the email message form and after processing the email message form for
pending emails to be sent..

 

The only tweak that is worth doing is making sure that processed or sent
emails from the form are periodically deleted from the form or archived into
another form so that the email engine has a smaller number of records to
scan through to qualify ones that have to be sent and then process them..

 

Do not keep the polling interval too large, nor too low. 1 minute might be
too low, 20 minutes might be too large if you are having about 100 emails
that are created on the email message form per minute.. 2 to 3 minutes might
be a good number for that many emails that get generated per minute..

 

Whereas if you get just about 10 emails to process per minute you could
probably risk having the polling interval as low as a minute..

 

So what I think you should be doing is averaging how many emails are created
per minute ready to be sent and then according to that work on a decent
polling interval.. which is neither too small, nor too large..

Hey ARSListers, 

Here is my understanding of the aremail engine: 

Data gets put into the AR System Email Engine 
The remedy e-mail process polls on a specified interval to see if there are
any e-mails to be sent or recieved 
Remedy processes the e-mails at whatever chunk size you specify in the
EmailDaemon.properties file.   

It is my understanding that this is a single thread for processing outgoing
messages.   

I am trying to maximize the performance of the e-mail engine ... so here are
my questions: 

Does setting the Alert thread do anything for the performance of the email
engine or does that only affect Remedy Alerts? 

Does specifying more than one outgoing e-mail smtp server increase
performance of the e-mail engine? 

Any other tweeks that might help in that arena? 

Our concern is the timliness in which e-mails are sent out from the system.
Especially if you send a lot at once for a major outage. 


Thanks, 

Sean 


P.S.  Please don't respond about alarm point, etc.  We are aware of it and
are looking into it ... I just want to know about the current design of the
remedy e-mail engine. __20060125___This posting was

That should be right.  What are the field properties for the field
(optional/required/display only and permissions).

A couple of things to note (may be helpful):
- changes to email templates are not picked up immediately.  It's best
to kill the email engine after modifying a template.
- fields included in an email message must have public read permissions
- display only fields must have a value at the time the filter fires
to send the notification

 In your filter, you have to select the fields you want to use for
 variable substitution as the included fields.  In the template, you
 have to use the format of #$$fieldname$$# as the variable name.

ARWARN 667 (The query matched more than ...) has to do with your user
tool preferences.  Click the Tools- Options... Behaviors- and set
the 'Limit Number of Items Returned' to match what you need.

What version of java are you using?
$ java -version

What version of the email engine are you using?

During the install of the email engine, did you set up the
javamail.providers file in the java install directory?  If installed
as non-root, this is a manual step.  If installed as root, the
installer takes care of it for you.

Email Engine: outgoing emails in html

2007-06-04 Thread Ray M
Hi: new question about sending emails from Email engine. I have configured
the email engine to send emails which go out as plain text. I want this
email to be formatted in html. I reviewed chapter 6 (Using email templates)
of the Email engine documentation. I can't seem to figure out how to send
html emails. Couple of questions

 

1.   Does email engine support including html tags in the message body.
How would I do that? Is there any doc with some examples on how to do this?

2.   From documentation it looks like I can include headers and/or
footers with images.  Any doc or quick links on how to do go about this? Do
I create a template in Ar System Email Templates?

 

Thanks in advance.

Ray

ARSPerl v/s PerlDBI

2007-05-28 Thread Ray M
Hi: I want to grab all the closed tickets for a particular day and last 5
worklogs for the ticket every evening. I know I can use perl DBI to access
the view (hpd_help_desk), grab the closed tickets and go to the view for the
worklog and grab the worklogs. Wondering if doing the same thing is easier
via ARS perl? Could someone who has used ARSPerl provide reasons why it
might be a good idea to use ARS Perl or is it ok either way?

Re: Doc on reporting

2007-05-25 Thread Ray M
George: I was thinking about the same thing. Need a little more
clarification.

So you have created a new form with standard fields + a character datatype.
Every morning run a escalation, collect required information for all the
open tickets from HPD:HelpDesk form and dump it into the character datatype
in the new form.
Build a filter that runs on the new form to send a notification for each
submit.

Is the above logic what you have implemented?

One question I have is I want to create multiple records in the new form
each time the escalation runs i.e one record for each customer. Something
like group by on the customer field from HPD:HelpDesk. How would I do that?

Thanks

Ray and Carey,

We handle this kind of request with a form in Remedy that includes the
information that we want reported.  Then, every morning around 2am an
escalation fires that collects the data SUBMITS a new record to that
form.  Finally, a filter action on submissions to that form sends the
formatted results of the data collection to the appropriate addresses.
The side benefit is that we've got a daily log of the reported data that
we can then run reports against if we need to! :)

Ray,

At this time there is no easy way to schedule a report. You can do
it. But you have to go a bit outside of the standard ARS to do it. ( I
am not sure if the OOB applications offer any more advanced options in
this area.)


The basic idea of how it can be done

You could use an Escalation (or any other time based triggering tool,
like Cron, Scheduled Tasks, etc..) to run the command line tool
runmacro. ( You should find this program in the ARS server
install/bin/runmacro directory.) This program will let you run a
Remedy Macro from the command line and produce a local file on the
file system. However it will not send it out in email. For that task
you can either write a command line program to email the file
directly, or you can build other workflow in ARS that will check the
time stamp on the file and if it is new enough then pull the file
into ARS (assuming the file is small enough for that to work) and send
email from there.

Re: Doc on reporting

2007-05-25 Thread Ray M
I am a newbie. So need a little more help. About grouping multiple records:
Within my escalation, I have a set Run if to 'Status'  5.
What do I put in my If Action tab for the following to happen
1. update the same record with INCIDENT_NUMBER+LAST_MODIFIED_DATE for each
customer (in my case LOCATION_ID from HPD:HelpDesk form). In other words if
the current open ticket from HPD_HelpDesk has a record already in my new
form, I want to append the character field value with the current
INCIDENT_NUMBER+LAST_MODIFIED_DATE. If not create a new entry
2. I want the concatenated value of INCIDENT_NUMBER and LAST_MODIFIED_DATE
to go to the character field in my new form.

TIA

Hey Ray,

Yep.  That's the way we're doing it.  We run individual reports for each
of our interested groups right now and the data that we're collecting is
just SQL counts of open tickets and aged tickets.  

We're thinking about making it more dynamic so that there could be a
flag for each Support Group that indicates whether or not they want the
report and then have the escalation walk through the table of everyone
that wants a report.

The question of multiple records could be handled with a character field
of length 0 that would be concatenated with the appropriate data from
HPD:Helpdesk for every record.  Then, when all of the data is collected,
you would push it to your Report Form and the SUBMIT would fire the
notification that you could format to your heart's content in the
notification filter action.

Hope that helps,
Gp
