Now I'm circling back to the BMC Remedy Action Request System. We're on 6.3 (on Solaris), moving to 8.1.2p1 on Linux next month. I documented the upgrade of our test environment. It didn't go the most smoothly, and I couldn't have completed it without BMC Support's help. We had to manually update some of the table structures. Perhaps this is because we totally skipped 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 7.6, and 8.0. We also had a duplicate index on one table, according to the data dictionary, so we had to delete it. In any case, my last technical challenge was to get single sign on working. I never tried to get it working before, and I thought it would be a bonus if I could get it working as part of this upgrade. I did a lot of google searching, and I saw a few other posts where other people were trying to accomplish what I wanted to do. Either nobody responded, or some people gave some general pointers, or javasystemsolutions.com chimed in to tout their product. In any case, after a long 14 hour day, I finally got it working. We have the following environment: Linux RHEL 6.6 / Apache 2.2 / Tomcat 7.0 / mod_ssl / mod_auth_cas 1.0.9 / areasso 7.0 If there is any interest, I will write up a guide on how to implement SSO with CAS and share it with the list.

Re: How to - Remove all Overlays from a Form
Great discussion, Doug! tks, rp On 4/28/2015 10:45 AM, Mueller, Doug wrote: ** Everyone, I thought I would share a few thoughts…. We do listen to requests and feedback and often react to it. However, sometimes things are not as simple as they seem… Let’s take this case as an example. You can have three types of things that you are looking at when in Best Practice mode: 1)An unaltered definition that is just being read through from the base – no delete is possible here 2)An overlaid definition that is present in base – delete of the overlay is possible but not of the base definition 3)A custom object that does not exist in base – delete here deletes the object All of the focus of the thread has been on the wording of the Delete operation and should it be called Delete Overlay. I actually think that the concept is a good one. However, be aware that there really needs to be three states for the menu choice: 1)It is disabled as it is not possible 2)Delete Overlayto emphasize you are only deleting the overlay and not the object 3)Delete to emphasize it is a custom object and you are REALLY deleting the object not an overly Then, let’s look at the next topic – I believe you can multi-select items and then pick Delete…. What should the menu choice be if you select three items, one of each of the above categories, and then select Delete? Should it be disabled because one is just a read through? Should it say Delete Overlay because one is an overlay? Should it say Delete because one is a custom object? More complexity… Does it say Delete and Delete Overlay? Do we remove the multi-select (of if it is not there, never add it)? I am not objecting to the request and in fact think there is value in the request, but just be aware that there is sometimes more to the issue than it may at first seem. Now, there are icons that indicate if something is an overlay, a custom object, or a base object bleeding through so you can tell which is which – but does it need to be more? And, about the not being in base mode discussion…. I would agree and argue that you should not be in base mode. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest that you should have most – all the day to day Admin logins and any special access Admin user – LOCKED to the overlay layer. Check the documentation, it allows you to lock an Admin into a specific layer. They can go into the other layer (well, this depends on version, current versions let you in read only to other layers, but older versions blocked them entirely) but no change is possible. Doing this guarantees that there are no mistakes and that no one is accidentally in the wrong mode and making changes. (and yes, BMC should lock our Admins to base to prevent accidentally creating custom objects in the overlay layer) You always have some super Admin who is not locked to Base in case you do need to go into that layer. They could also change the rights of an Admin to remove the restriction locking them to Best Practice – there is logic that doesn’t allow an Admin locked to a layer to change the permissions to override that lock. Note that you can use this same ability to also lock an Admin to an undefined layer so that they can make no structure changes at all but can access data. This is good for a data access but read only definition Admin or for Admins used for integrations that only do data so that they cannot be used to change structures regardless of what calls are made. So, we have deviated from the original topic a bit. I just wanted to note that not having action taken is not always a sign of disagreement or of ignoring. Sometimes the problem is simply more complex than it seems nad more work needs to be done to make a decision. Then, there is the entire balancing of requests to pick the ones that make the most difference. Please keep the ideas and requests coming as without them being shared, there is almost 0 chance of them being done as we don’t know about them.

But until that becomes a reality, just know that when you are in the best practice mode, the deletion of base objects is not allowed by the tool. So there is nothing to fear there. It’s only when you switch the mode to Base Development that you risk loosing stuff. As a practice, YOU SHOULD NEVER be in the Base Development mode if you are using ITSM or any of the OTB Remedy applications. It offers you no benefit at all to be in the Base Development mode, UNLESS you are on one of the following exceptional cases: 1)Fixing a bug in the base object with BMC Remedy Support

I've been working with BMC on it, but all we find is the correct 'upgrade from' which is version 8.1.00.

When I got ready to update the server refs in the db, I couldn't get ARS to start, and there were errors like this in the arerror.log: /[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (SQL Server 17)// //SQL database is still not available -- continuing to attempt connection (ARNOTE 591)// //The SQL database operation failed. (ARERR 552)/ I was able to log into the db via SQL Management Studio with the ARAdmin account, and successfully execute a select statement against user_x, so I contacted the dba who suggested trying to create an ODBC connection just to test the connection to the db. He said to ensure that the server name was defined as myserver,port, which connected fine. At that point I went back to the ar.cfg and armonitor for the umpteenth time, and a colleague suggested adding the port number to the Sybase-Server-Name parameter, so that the line in the ar.cfg looked like Sybase-Server-Name: myserver,1234 The server started right up, no errors in the error.log, so my question is: None of the other servers in any of our environments needed the port added, the old dev server didn't need it (and I'm told that that vm is turned off), and I don't recall ever seeing a port id in the Sybase-Server-Name: line. Any idea, why the ar.cfg needs it now? Thanks, rp ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years

8.1.01 Approval Engine question...
Hi, When a emergency CRQ is created, there are a set number of approvers generated, all for the close-down phase. If a change manager adds a single ad-hoc approver during the implementation phase, the system creates an additional signature record for all approvers; so the number of approvers goes from 6 close-down approvers to 13 total approvers (7 new implementation approvers including the intended ad-hoc approver).

Re: Caught Exception issue...
Shawn, Ditto for us on most of what you've said. We have a brand new 8.1 implementation, and are p2. Most of the issues are reported by our IE users, and we're looking forward to a hotfix or patch to resolve these same issues. rp On 2/4/2014 8:41 PM, Pierson, Shawn wrote: ** I didn't want to hijack this email thread for my own issues but hopefully Suresh can get some benefit from what I've run into as well. We have been on ARS 8.1 for a couple of months but just upgraded ITSM to 8.1 (including the two patches) as of this past weekend. In testing we ran into the Caught Exception errors that Suresh ran into, but the ITSM patches seemed to have addressed most of those. The problem now is basically instability. Tomcat itself keeps crashing, so I upgraded it from patch 32 to patch 37 tonight to see if that helps. There have also been a never-ending stream of Mid Tier issues, but of very low intensity, from 7.6.4 on with Internet Explorer. My understanding is that Internet Explorer has defects in it that cause it to not correctly refresh cache, and the way the Mid Tier is designed that becomes a big issue. However, we also have run into issues with 7.6.4 that are worse on 8.1 with specific user's cache on the Mid Tier becoming corrupt somehow and generating errors. The only way to resolve those is to flush the cache on the Mid Tier, but doing so messes up a small but vocal percentage of other people who have to clear their IE browser cache. So based on the suggestion below, I am planning on looking into the Mid Tier hotfix. I'll open a ticket with BMC tomorrow if my system is still unstable after the Tomcat upgrade and try to get that hotfix but I have an I.T. form of PTSD because our implementation of 7.6.4 a couple years ago was delayed a few months due to BMC support not being helpful with Mid Tier issues (which resulted in a custom Mid Tier patch for us, which so far hadn't been necessary on 8.1.) So with all that said, I tried to guess the 8.1 path on the FTP site below but couldn't find one that worked.

Re: 8.1 DMT issue failure to import data...
Carl, Thanks for the response. Your assessment was precisely what our problem was, although in our case both the jobs and transformation were missing completely! Not sure what happened there, but we imported the correct job/trans for the import that I was doing (product catalog), and successfully completed the import via DMT. Next task is to determine how to move the remainder of the ITSM (foundation?) jobs/trans to complete the set in spoon. Not sure what happened to the original jobs/trans as I completed a foundation data import via DMT as late as a couple of months ago. Thanks again, Rick On 10/8/2013 10:58 AM, Carl Wilson wrote: Hi Rick, This is natural, you cannot query this form from either the User Tool or Browser - so you can ignore this error. I have had issue in the past with corrupt Jobs/Transformations in the repository that threw the below types of errors (repository was corrupt). Basically there was a mismatch between where the catalog points to for the Job/Transformation and when it attempts to load the Job it cannot find it in the catalog. Check your Jobs/Transformations are available in the Spoon client for the data you are loading and also check the AI Jobs form (UDM:Repoisitory:Job) for the correct ID of the Job/Transform and that it lines up with what is being called in the DMT Tool i.e. when you run the DMT Job (DMT:Job), it calls the AI Job (Job/Transform) via an ID in the repository. The import/export of the Spoon tool loads the Job/Transform into the repository as an attachment - these can sometimes not be present or corrupt and the ID's between the DMT Job (yes confusing as BMC are sharing terminology) and actual repository AI Job do not match.

Re: Anyone have a list (or know of a list) of plugins...
Thanks to everyone who replied. What started this was a plugin error that was due to a C plugin that was listed in the ar.cfg with a port of . Not sure how that happened, but, it did. Normally, it's easy enough to see a plugin alias with a port of , and think, that's a java plugin; the see another plugin alias with a port that matches one that you've defined for C plugins (see Plugin-Port: /whatever you've defined here/), and think, that's a C plugin; but, in my case, it wasn't so easy. So, I thought I'd see if there was a list somewhere that differentiated between the two (but it doesn't look like there is).

Re: Using BPCU while ARS Upgrade?
WUT 7.6.04 and 8.1, aye! (especially for exporting data-all columns all rows). rp On 8/28/2013 3:15 PM, Jason Miller wrote: ** 1. Correct. This really doesn't change with or without overlays. This is the same as it has been since I started working with Remedy v4. * SIDE NOTE: This is also why I was very adamant on calling BS when a BMC person (or two) try to convince our organization that by using overlays customizations are now configurations. The impact, maintenance, testing and documentation needs do not change with overlays. Sure BMC code will not intentionally change your overlay or custom object like in the past when there was only one object layer but it all still has to work together. 2. There was an oversight in 7.6.04 Dev Studio where the option to convert from unmodified to custom was left out. There is a thread from last year where Doug Mueller explained and gave some options. I would think it has been added to 7.6.04 in a patch but if not my recommendation is to upgrade Dev Studio to 8.1 since you will need to do that at some point. You will then have the option to convert unmodified to custom before the server upgrade. 3. If I remember correctly the rapp service was called via run process. You could pull a full def file of the server (or multiple by object type) and search for 'rappsvc' in a text editor to find the objects that call it. Chances are since you don't have SLA there are probably only a handful of places that use it and you won't likely miss it. I seem to remember there was one or two things about HD pre 6 that used it outside of SLA. 4. That sounds reasonable. Open Windows was one of the most frequent uses for macros. It has been so long since I have done this process that what you describe sounds familiar :) 5. Technically they are buttons but you will have to adjust how they are presented in the view. If you create a Vertical Navigation field you can click Click here to attach orphaned items. This will show your menu bar buttons. If you want to make them individual buttons without a Nav field I am pretty sure there is a way but can't completely remember right now. * Ok, this was bugging me so I figured out how to do it (and it is super simple). Select the menu field from the Outline list, under Display Properties change Display Type from Menu to Button. 6. The User Tool is not phased out for AR System 7.6.04, just ITSM 7.6.04. You can still use WUT with a 7.6.04 AR System Server and non-ITSM applications. This configuration will be supported until 7.6.04 falls out of support.

Converting to Custom - when I ran upgrade from ARS v5.1.2 to v7.6.04(5.1.26.37.17.6.04) - noticed that all the custom apps/features we had in v5.1.2 were carried over to v7.6.04. Now, they appear as Unmodified Objects and when I right click on them, it only gives me an option to Convert to Overlay but not to Custom.

fts pluginsvr_config.xml question...
Hi, In the fts pluginsvr_config.xml file, what is the user defined section for? One of the things I'm trying to nail down is the server group implementation for fts. The doc that I have (from BMC) states that all fts plugins should reside on the primary server, but the collection directories should stay on each server group member. So we: Comment out the secondary member's fts plugin server's line from the armonitor In each secondary member's ar.cfg, we point to the respective fts plugin on the primary server Update the primary server's armonitor to include a line to start each secondary server's fts plugin server When the indexing begins, each fts plugin server writes to the collection dir on the corresponding member's collection dir (or so BMC has advised me). Where is the parameter that tells each fts plugin server to write to the respective member's collection dir? The only thing that looks possible is the user defined section of the fts pluginsvr_config.xml. Also, does anyone know if, during the indexing process, the collection dirs are written to concurrently? My indexing process has been running for a day, ft_pending is at 13, and primary collection dir is being written to, and growing 21 GB, but nada on any collection dirs on secondary member's collection dirs.

7.6.04 (multi-tenancy) Change Management and Service CI's...
Hello all, This is a 7.6.04 sp2 (multi-tenancy) question regarding Change Management and required Service CI's. We noticed that if the Change Location Company value (on the CRQ) doesn't match the Service CI, Company value, the Service wasn't available to the user. However, if the Service CI, Company value is NULL, the Service is available. The question is: what is the impact of having the Service CI record with a NULL Company value (i.e., elsewhere in the lifecycle of the CI)?

However, they aren't technically objects, so that makes them difficult to manage as CIs, unless you want to manage them as server attributes or something. So it would seem that having some categorization around them for the CM module would probably do the trick. As far as Release goes, it has it's place, but I think if you can make it work with Changes and Tasks without having to twist or compress the process, you're probably fine without Release. If you find that you have large projects that need to be managed and scheduled at multiple sites or on multiple timelines, having a Release encompassing several RFCs, which can still have Tasks subordinate to them, is probably the way to go.

Re: .obf files filling up dev server
Thanks to everyone; here's what I found: the .obf files are not deleted when RDP is closed. They are not deleted when the Admin Tool is closed; nor are they deleted if the machine is rebooted.

Re: ARS 7.0.01 upgrade problems
I had a slightly different variation: in going from 5.1.2 to 7.0.1, we had to stop at 7.0.0 first. This was due to a known error (per support). We also had problems with forms displaying fields that the db did not have. We exported the form, deleted the form, re-imported the form, and thus were able to sync ARS and the DB in that the number (and type) of fields listed in the admin tool (or the .def file) matched what was returned via SQL Plus. I just finished working on a CMDB 1.1 patch 4 installation that twice failed due to incomplete installers downloaded from the support site.

Re: Problems connecting to Oracle following 10g client install...
Brian and all, Just rec'd this from Remedy Support: There is a bug reporting upgrade problems to 701 concerning the user_cacheY22 table. The bug is SW00255568. The workaround is to upgrade to 7.0 patch 1 or 2 and then upgrade from 7.0 to 7.0.1 using the SHARE option. regards, rp On Feb 6, 2:52 pm, Rick Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Brian, Thanks for the input, but it's not encouraging since those are the same symptoms that I have! I should know by the end of the day whether we need to start over and try again via 7.0.0. rp On Feb 6, 7:05 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Rick, I tried upgrading an oracle 9.2 database from version 5.1.2 to 7.0.1 on my laptop. I installed the Oracle 10g client and used this as instructed. I could never get the service to start. It would always time out. I watched what Remedy was up to through Enterprise Manager and could see it talking to the database, presumably trying to build its cache. It would keep starting more and more connections. It was driving me crazy until I was advised by a colleague that you cannot upgrade from 5.1.2 to 7.0.1. You have to go through version 7.0.0 first. I don't know what the problem is though. I have now done an install of 7.0.0 over my 7.0.1 and it starts ok. I have yet to upgrade this to 7.0.1 though through lack of free time. I also want to restore the database back to 5.1.2 and try the upgrade to 7.0.0 and then 7.0.1 to see what the result is. But have yet to find the time!

Re: Import ARERROR 405 ARS 5.1.2 on Display Only forms... (part 2)
Jason, I have a .def file from a known good 5.1.2/HD 5.5 server (heavily customized), and I need to Migrate that file to a new destination server. The two servers should be mirror images (from the OS up) with the exception of form data. The migration was successful with the exception of the forms listed earlier (plus a few DO forms; Remedy Requester-New Request, etc.), some menus (no suprise here since forms failed), and a handful of filters. My attempt to import those forms individually via the admin tool also failed, hence the posting here (parts 1 and 2) with the attendant errors. Clean up is not an option, and new views were not added (as suggested by Jennifer-thanks). I'm working on getting a second computer so I can see both systems concurrently (the production system is not available to me). I know that I can install multiple AR servers, but can't do at this point in the project. Thanks for the suggestions. rp ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:Where the Answers Are
Import ARERROR 405 ARS 5.1.2 on Display Only forms... (part 2)
I am attempting to import over a dozen heavily modified HD 5.5 forms from a .def file onto another 5.1.2/HD 5.5 server, overwriting a clean HD 5.5 install. Rec'ing the same ARERROR 405: A core definition from the definition file is incorrect: (1) : : (ARERR 405) A core definition from the definition file is incorrect: (7) : : (ARERR 405) A core definition from the definition file is incorrect: (7) : : (ARERR 405) on over a dozen core HD forms (SHR:Categorization, SHR:ConsolidatedList, etc.) Any ideas why the errors? Why an error twice on 'status' (7)? Any help appreciated, Rick ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:Where the Answers Are
Re: Import ARERROR 405 ARS 5.1.2 on Display Only forms... (part 2)
Jennifer, Thanks. First, I'm importing an entire HD 5.5 app that I inherited, so I have little to no history on changes that were made. Second, it's heavily customized, so anything could have happened on the way to its current state. Third, most of the app was imported successfully; most of the errors were with forms/menus. I could restore the 'Status' fields on the original server, perform the import, then change the 'Status' fields back on the destination server so that they work with workflow, but I'm not sure how to make a 'generic' copy. In any event, I'm trying to avoid recreating: CHG:Change CHG:Task HPD:Solutions SHR:ApplicationGroups SHR:Association SHR:Bulletin SHR:Categorization SHR:ConsolidatedList SHR:Contact SHR:Location SHR:People SHR:PersonalPreferences SHR:Survey SHR:Template SHRCFG:ConfigTmpIndex SLA:Measurement SLA:Rule Event Occurrence (I'm sitting here contemplating just how painful that would be!!) Anyway, Thanks again. rp Meyer, Jennifer wrote: First two things to check, Rick, did you tell your import to Import In Place or Replace Objects on the Destination Server? Second thing, I am guessing there are two things it doesn't like about your Status field--as if you have changed two qualities, perhaps your permissions and attributes. Have you ever exported your definition files, mucked with the definition files as text, and reimported them? It might not have given you an error at the time, but that could cause it to blow up on the new server. Since it's throwing up all over your Request ID field, you have some sort of ick that is messing up all your fields. Perhaps copy the form, make the copy as generic as possible, export the form, then try to import it. This may be a situation where it's just easier to recreate the form on the new server. How many forms is this happening on, and have any of your imports succeeded?
