Re: Remedy Developer Performance Metrics

A good start for metrics could be the number of bugs/issues raised against a

 The thought of trying to measure something as fungible as development -- 
 given that there is usually more than nine way to skin a cat in Remedy -- 
 tends to make me believe the idea stems from a manager with far too much time 
 on their hands. 
 
 And as far as measuring development, I would think you would have to give 
 excruciatingly exact development tasks to each of your developers (and why 
 would you do that?) in order to collect meaningful metrics. Off the top of my 
 head, presuming you could come up with requirements so finely detailed that 
 there was only a single way to develop them, you could perhaps use this as 
 part of a job-applicant screening process -or- perhaps as part of the 
 employee's annual review. But if the devs have to take a test as part of 
 their annual review, I would think it only fair that the managers have to 
 take a test as well, one designed by the developers.
 
 But as a production development measurement process, how would even a fairly 
 general measurement be meaningful if during the measurement period, 
 developer A mostly just added/repositioned/edited text fields with minimal 
 workflow and developer B worked on a robust, non-ITSM, bespoke application? 
 
 I would think you would also need a measurement system for (including, but 
 not limited to):
 - The individual staff members contributing/defining requirements
 - The quality/completeness/ambiguity of the requirements gathered/documented
 - Any changes along the way
 - The over/under/confusion-injecting involvement of non-technical 
 stake-holders and managers.
 
 Given those measurements, along with the developers metrics, I would think 
 the outcome would quite often recommend reassigning the metrics seeking 
 micro-manager(s) to somewhere they can't do as much damage... 
 
 Now, I'm not an anti-management rebel as the above may suggest - I rely on 
 and have worked with darned good managers and continue to do so today. 
 However,  over the years I've worked with lots of managers good and bad, both 
 with my employers and customers. So when I hear someone say that they are 
 looking for a way to measure development or capture development metrics, I 
 don't see how you could get **meaningful** metrics simply because development 
 efforts are rarely identical enough to compare one to the next fairly 
 (individual scale or project scale). It strikes me as an exercise in futility 
 -- or better yet, gathering metrics for the sake of gathering metrics. Again, 
 as if the idea stems from a manager with far too much time on their hands who 
 sees a new excel spreadsheet full of raw numbers like a Rubik's Cube: 
 something fun to fiddle with. 
 
 My point of view on this stems from my personal experience where I've worked 
 with folks who use the ITIL measurement philosophy as something to hide 
 behind in order to measure waay too much just because they can and not 
 necessarily because there is a clear *business-need*.
 
 I would wager that you would realize far better productivity, along with a 
 substantial boost in morale, if you were to just get rid of the manager who 
 suggested the idea in the first place. For if that manager seriously 
 suggested this idea, who knows what other great ideas he has inflicted on 
 the organization?
 
 Note: This is merely my stinky personal opinion -and- opinions will likely 
 vary...

 Hi Charlie!
 
 Although I have grown over the past few years to fully agree with LJ on this 
 subject, I can also understand the need for metrics to have something to go 
 by to know if our performance is on-par or not.
 Sadly, measurements in the LOC style no longer give a true picture of actual 
 performance especially in terms of Remedy development.
 The company I am currently working for has a 100% custom Remedy solution, 
 and are measuring performance based on number of requests closed per day 
 irrespective of workflow object count (but they include all types of 
 incidents, problems and change requests in this figure). 
 In my opinion, this is a better performance metric than pure LOC count, but 
 is also flawed because some types of requests are quicker and easier to 
 close than others.
 
 Shawn Pierson nailed it very well in his mail, if the purpose of the 
 exercise is to determine the quality of a Remedy developer or to guide 
 decisions around which questions your metrics should answer if you want your 
 company to keep the Remedy developer that will truly be most beneficial to 
 keep when the time comes to make those hard decisions.

 - I’m going to remove the “Unrestricted Access” Role from the Request ID 
 field on HPD:Help Desk.
 - Then I’ll create a custom field to take its place, let’s say 60701, which I 
 will create a Dynamic Group for that I can have the “Unrestricted Access” 
 Role be put into as a default.
 - I’ll add a Radio button called “Confidential” on the HPD:Help Desk form, 
 which will have workflow to set fields 60701 and 112 automatically to $NULL$ 
 if the Confidential button is checked.  If it is unchecked, I’ll set 60701 to 
 the “Unrestricted Access” Role, and field 112 to the Regular Group where the 
 Long Group name is the same as the company on the Customer+.
 - Look for any workflow that sets these fields and find some way to override 
 them when the Confidential radio button is checked.
  
 Is there a better supported way to do this?

 Subject: Row-Level Security on HPD:Help Desk
  
 Good morning,
  
 I’m working on something that has been discussed by others here but I’m 
 having trouble conceptualizing how I can do this.  The user’s requirement is 
 to track confidential Incidents in ITSM.  This is defined by setting a flag 
 of some sort (I’m debating making it either a custom field or an Operational 
 Category) which will trigger a lock down to remove read access from all but 
 the Assigned Group on the Incident (who will also be the Incident Owner Group 
 in this scenario.)
  
 To do this, I was thinking about creating a custom field, with a Field ID of 
 60700 or something.  Would I then set a default to be the same as the 
 Assignee Group (7) as well as the Unrestricted Access Role, then when the 
 flag is checked just remove the ID of the Unrestricted Access Role?  What 
 would I do to the Request ID field to make it work on combination with this 
 new field to restrict visibility into the Incidents?  It seems pretty 
 straight forward to create a new field and give change access to a group that 
 has read only access, but I’m struggling to come up with a good way to lock 
 things down.
  
 Also, using multi-tenancy isn’t an option, unfortunately.  There are a lot of 
 legitimate reasons, as a shared service organization, that we have many 
 people with Unrestricted Access.  It seems to be required to make SRM work 
 without creating dozens of the exact same things for each division.  Another 
 thing that will be a factor is that we use BMC Analytics for reporting.  
 Based on how it handles security, we’ll have to be very careful to ensure 
 these don’t show up on reports either.
  
 My backup plan is going to be to build a custom form that can be fully locked 
 down in the way that I need, and integrating that with Incident Management.
  
 Thanks,

Re: SSO / AREA LDAP question

2013-03-14 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese.
The Bmc OOTB SSO Plugin is very easy to break since it only depends on http 
header authentication. It has nothing to do with LDAP or AD. the scenario 
changes if you use the basic SSO with site minder or an external authentication 
plugin with a hub. 

The best way you can start troubleshooting the issue is to turn ON debug 
logging on the plugin and turn ON your plugin logs on the server and identify 
the API calls when the account gets locked. 

We use JSS SSO plugin and cannot be happier with the support and the security 
features of the product.

 Hello David,
  
  As it was explained to me and through reading the SSO integration white 
  paper capturing the user ID should be all that is needed to get the user 
  logged in at that point.
 I think there is some confusion here. For SSO to work in general with 
 Midtier, there has to be some work done on 2 ends, the Midtier end and the 
 ARServer end. AR Server (either form based or AREA LDAP based) needs 
 username/password combination for authentication by default. You can have 
 some chaining setups where some users will get authenticated against Form and 
 other using LDAP which people typically do when they have AREA LDAP setup and 
 they setup user password as BLANK in user form for users which need to be 
 authenticated against LDAP. But AR Server, by default, will not authenticate 
 a user unless password is supplied. BMC whitepaper says that once you have 
 overridden DefaultAuthenticator on Miditer side, you can bypass login page 
 and as you said, you are getting username somehow. Now this username and some 
 TOKEN has to be passed back to AR Server and you need to write an custom AREA 
 plug-in which will validate username/TOKEN combination, may be talking to 
 some SSO server or in some way. Point is, unless you write a custom AREA 
 plug-in SSO will not work. Also in your case, it sounds like, you are 
 satisfied by just having extracted username from the browser (IE) and you 
 want AR Server to authenticate the user just based on that.

 The biggest issues I have noticed with using a touch screen interface are 
 double clicking and right clicking.  Say you want to double tap a record in a 
 table field to open it, most touch screens will zoom instead of trigger a

 mobile app has a way of right clicking (Citrix, etc.).

Re: HELP - ITSM 7 email engine won't run

2007-12-01 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese
Eli,
 Did you check the incoming/outgoing Pop3/SMTP account and check if they
are working fine? Looks like you did not miss anything however you can turn
on debug mode on the email engine

Try turning on logging:
The logging.properties file can be found in the $JAVA_DIR/lib directory.
The values that are valid are SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER,
FINEST and ALL. Anything lower than CONFIG is mainly just used for
debugging purposes (it is VERY, VERY verbose). The value must be entered in
UPPER case. You will need to restart your emaild daemon for this change to
take effect (emaild.sh stop as armonitor should restart it).


To increase your logging level in the logging.properties file, open the
logging.properties file and add or modify the following lines to read:

handlers=java.util.logging.FileHandler,java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

com.remedy.arsys.emaildaemon.ARSystemHandler.level=FINEST

com.remedy.arsys.emaildaemon.level=FINEST

handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler,
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = FINEST


To enable debug mode, add this option to the line that starts the Java
process in the emaild.sh script, then stop and start the email engine:

-Dmail.debug=true

Change from:
exec ${JAVA_BIN}/java -Djava.library.path=${InstallPath} -cp ${CP_PATH}
com.remedy.arsys.emaildaemon.EmailDaemon -d ${InstallPath} ${LogFile} 21

To:
exec ${JAVA_BIN}/java -Djava.library.path=${InstallPath} -Dmail.debug=true -
cp ${CP_PATH} com.remedy.arsys.emaildaemon.EmailDaemon -d ${InstallPath}
${LogFile} 21

After turning the debug logs

Try to add a maximum heap size, you must add the following code to the
registry:
Key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Remedy Email Engine\Parameters
Tag:
JVM Option Number 2
Value:
-xmsize
You must also modify the JVM Option Count from 2 to 3


Hopefully this will give you some insights on what exactly is happening.

Roney Samuel Varghese

Re: SSO on the Midtier

2007-11-22 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese
Dear Tai D,

I have highlighted the steps below


   - You need a custom SSO plugin on the midtier and changes to your
   config.properties file which would now point to this SSO plugin for
   authentication instead of default authentication.
   - You need the another plugin on your ARS server which would help you
   to authenticate the users who came in through the midtier with some
   condition say the Midtier Ip Address with an entry of the plugin in the
   ar.cfg file so that plugin server loads the plugin.

There is so much more to it, did you already implement SSO on the midtier
you can start with these let me know if you require any more information.

Re: Email Engine Attachments

2007-11-22 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese
Dear Craig,

Looks like the attachment gets converted to winmail.dat file on the
microsoft exchange incoming mailbox before it reaches remedy, this normally
occurs if you have html formatting, however I am still confused, since you
have already mentioned that you were receiving emails in plain text format.

One solution to the problem is to visit http://www.biblet.com and download
the WMDecode program found there. This will at least allow you to decode the
winmail.dat files and extract any useful attachments from them.

Other than this, there's not much you can do on your end to fix the problem,
since it's not your email program generating the problem. If you just don't
want to deal with the problem, the other approach is to reply to the
individual who sent you the offending email and ask that they re-send the
message, with the attached files, as a plain text message, not in Rich Text
Format or HTML.

*This is what microsoft says : *
To resolve this problem, use the plain text format. To do this: 1. On the
Tools menu, click Options, and then click Mail Format.
2. In Compose in this message format, click to select Plain Text, and then
click OK.
NOTE: To send to certain recipients that use RTF format and others
recipients that use plain text format, you must set the option for the
recipient in either the Personal Address Book or the recipient's contact
record.

Use the following steps to remove the RTF format from the recipient
attribute in the Personal Address Book: 1. On the Tools menu, click Address
Book.
2. In Show Names From, click the Personal Address Book.
3. Select the addressee that you want to set as plain text, and then click
Properties on the File menu.
4. In the SMTP-General tab, click to clear the Always send to this recipient
in Microsoft Exchange rich text format check box, and then click OK.
Use the following steps to set plain text in the recipient's contact record:
1. Open the recipient's record in the Contacts folder.
2. Double-click the recipient's e-mail address.
3. In the E-Mail Properties dialog box, click Send Plain Text only under
Internet Format.

Re: Including fields in an email

2007-07-22 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Shafqat,
  I am sure you have but to be on the safer side have you
checked the AR System Email Error Logs form for any possible errors. Also
try using the logging.properties file that you can use for debugging the
email engine which is usually found in the Java lib directory. I am sure you
have checked the filter notify actions. I guess one of the last resorts
would be to upgrade the email engine to patch 3. Hope this helps

Re: CMDB's BMC_Person class: usage?

2007-07-09 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Hey Bob,

I beleive the BMC_Person class stores information about the people who
manage and depend on the other CIs in your environment. The First question
you need to ask yourself depending on your environment is Can People be
Configuration Items in your environment? According to me the answer is an
overwhelming yes. People can and should be CIs because they represent an
organization's human assets. Therefore, the CMDB should include data about
the relationship of an event to the business customers who rely on a
service, as well as the relationship of an event to the personnel required
to resolve it in the incident management process. This relationship
information relies upon data about People CIs.

Because a person's functions can change often, all of this information can
get complicated. If someone gains additional technical certifications, that
person
can now assist on different types of events. Maintaining People CIs in your
CMDB can help keep all the information straight.

You might argue that most of these attributes and relationships are already
maintained in ITSM 7 using the People form however I believe that CMDB is
the right way to maintain these relationships which of course would be a
painful process for every company to go through and because of which I guess
BMC has given us an option of venting our thoughts of implementing the right
CMDB with ITSM 7. Hope this helps.

Re: How to create an AD account using Remedy vendor form?

2007-06-25 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Dmitry,

LDAP_OBJECT_CLASS_VIOLATION: Indicates that the add, modify, or modify DN
operation violates the object class rules for the entry. For example, the
following types of request return this error:


  1. The add or modify operation tries to add an entry without a value
  for a required attribute.
  2. The add or modify operation tries to add an entry with a value for
  an attribute which the class definition does not contain.
  3. The modify operation tries to remove a required attribute without
  removing the auxiliary class that defines the attribute as required.


So in your case I believe the  1 or 2nd case holds true. Try to validate all
the date before you push the data to the vendor form. If you have problems
generating a request id use a Request ID generator form instead. Hope this
helps

Regards.

database. What I would suggest is to recreate the diary field after adding
Oracle-Clob-Storage-In-Row to T in the ar.cfg file, which would allow all
the new clob fields to be added as a row and disallow extending it by 1024
in the tablespace. Hope this helps.

 Cause:
 While inserting records Oracle needed to extend a segment but there
 was insufficient space to allow it to do so, i.e. the tablespace is
 full.

 Possible Remedies:

- Add additional datafiles to the tablespace.
- Extend one or more datafiles in the tablespace.
- Reduce the 'next' size for the table/segment to be consistent
with the amount of free space available in any of the datafiles that 
compose
the tablespace.

Re: View Forms SQL (ARS) to ORACLE (non-ARS)

2007-06-01 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Carol,
There are multiple ways to do this. You can either use EIE
(RLO) which can help you to pull data from the external Oracle table to the
Remedy Database, or you can create a database link between ARSystem Database
and the external table in Oracle using ODBC drivers. Once the DB link is
created with appropriate permissions (Read, Write, Execute) you can create a
view form from within Remedy, however the Oracle table would require a
unique key which you should be designated as the request id and AR System
uses five different Oracle data types for columns: number (15, 0),
float, varchar, blob, and clob.

Hope this helps

Roney Samuel Varghese

Re: Where to put cell phones PDAs in CMDB?

2007-05-30 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Rick,
  We had the same confusion and we decided to create a
categorization class under BMC_ComputerSystem for the PDA's since the PDA's
are actually glorified computer systems. Also the best thing to do would be
to get the Telecommunication extensions which does include a separate class
for Phones, If that's not possible I would categorise the Phones under
BMC_Equipments.

Hope this helps

There really aren't very many attributes to import, and nothing specific
enough to necessitate adding even an attribute to an existing class, though
adding Categorizations is definitely an option.

Has anyone made this choice before?

Re: Display Timezone in Mid-Tier after Login

2007-05-25 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Geoffrey,

In login.jsp we generate a html script tag, script src=%=
request.getContextPath()%/shared/TimezoneFinder.js defer=1/script,
which references our TimezoneFinder.js file located in /shared under the
Mid-Tier web application install directory.  Because we're running on the
client side we can create a new JavaScript Date object and figure out the
timezone on the local client, for example on a PDT(Pacific Daylight Time) PC
the timezone is determined by the TimezoneFinder.js file to be
America/Dawson, this value is sent to Mid-Tier.  As Mid-Tier begins
constructing the user's SessionData it performs the following checks:

Does the user logging in have a entry in the AR System User Preferences
form? If yes then overwrite the timezone value sent, such as America/Dawson,
with whatever value that is found in the preferences form on the Locale tab
in the Timezone field.

Is there no entry in the AR System User Preference form for this user?  If
there is not then is there a value from passing through
login.jsp/login_common.js
and the TimezoneFinder.js file, such as the America/Dawson value? If yes,
then use this value as the timezone for the user. If neither of these is
true then default to the timezone of the Mid-Tier host machine.

Now, once the form starts generating we enter a class in Mid-Tier which is
responsible for emitting the file userdata.js and it's contents, in
particular the value for var timezoneRules. The file userdata.js is auto
generated by Mid-Tier as each user logs in to the system. The variable
timezoneRules has a structure containing values which helps the client side
code know what offsets should be used when determining the correct display
values for AR System Date and Date/Time fields.  How is the value for this
variable determined? Using the passed in Timezone name determined from one
of the above steps, running TimezoneFinder.js or the existence of a AR
System User preference entry,  Mid-Tier looks in the
/resources/standard/javascript/timezone directory for a .js file that it can
match up to the passed in timezone name. For example if the passed in value
is America/Dawson, Mid-Tier loads America_Dawson.js, inside of which is the
var timezoneRule declaration and value, which is put into the generated
userdata.js file.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Roney Samuel Varghese

Re: Upgrading to CMDB 2.0

2007-05-24 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear John,

I guess you remember all those extensions for Telecom and J2EE in CMDB
1.1is now not available with CMDB
2.0, however it has been organized in a much robust way. Its built to tie
with the OOTB ITSM 7 application involving Product Categorization and
Location information with the base class (BMC_BaseElement). I guess BMC does
say that CMDB 2.0 has a backward compatibility with ITSM 6.0, however you
would have to analyze the amount of effort it would take to customize an
application like CMDB with an additional cost of maintaining the existing
relationships with ITSM 6.0

Hope this helps

Okay,



This is causing a bit of panic now.



I have a fixed user license in our production environment and I have

Another user also has a fixed license in production with same admin and
unrestricted access.



We both Incident form in search mode and search for incidents using the
exact same query (not even in advance query mode, simple search based on
some drop-downs) and we both see incorrect results.



After numerous searchs and observations, I found out that I was missing
out a certain set of incident records on my search:

(Support Company* = Owner Support Company) AND (Support Organization* =
Owner Support Organization) AND (Assignee Group*+ = Owner Group+)



Any guesses? Is this configuration thing? All the real production users
are getting inconsistent search results and it's a HUGE issue. Any help
would be highly appreciated.

Whose child is this? I asked one day
Seeing a little one out at play
Mine, said the parent with a tender smile
Mine to keep a little while
To bathe his hands and comb his hair
To tell him what he is to wear
To prepare him that he may always be good
And each day do the things he should

Whose child is this? I asked again
As the door opened and someone came in
Mine, said the teacher with the same tender smile
Mine, to keep just for a little while
To teach him how to be gentle and kind
To train and direct his dear little mind
To help him live by every rule
And get the best he can from school

Whose child is this? I ask once more
Just as the little one entered the door
Ours said the parent and the teacher as they smiled
And each took the hand of the little child
Ours to love and train together
Ours this blessed task forever.

Re: ITSM 7 People import methodology

Dear Rick,

We had initially planned to load the data feed via EIE through RLO, however
our EIE got all messed up and then we had to shift to using the staging form
on a view form. Our staging form does all the validations before we submit
data to any of the actual ITSM forms. The Stages we go through are mentioned
below

1. Get the GUID using the CTM:CFGPeopleTagNumgenerator form
2. Submit the entry to the CTM:People Form
3. Receive the person Id
4. Create the permission entries for the default user depending on the
company the user belongs to using the
CTM:People Permission Groups form (We have multitenancy turned ON)
5. Submit the permission changes to the User form.

There were some particular filters on the CTM:People form that checked for
the access rights for the user AR ESCALATOR which had to be modified.

Hope this helps.

 I have the LDAP connection to the people data already, have stored that

 I know I need to push the phone #s into the Phone Detail form first, and

Wallet,
 Travel, Education, Attachments, Home Address, or Benefit, etc. info
 imported.

 I also need to perform some string manipulation on the LDAP formatting
 (culling out the CN= type strings), after which I want to push the
data
 into the ITSM 7 People form, along with various local string/selection
field
 settings (i.e. Status, Client Type, $NULL$, etc.).

 Once I have the import Filter built, I will create an Escalation to
refresh
 the data from LDAP to the holding form, which will cause the Filter to
push
 that data to the People form on Modify.

 I will add the group memberships/roles/permissions later, as that's a
much
 smaller task that can be done manually.

 Is there anything else I haven't thought of at all?  Is there a

Re: Change Request and Change Task lite versions included in Remedy Help Desk 6.0

2007-04-22 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Tom,
  We had implemented a custom Approval process for a custom
built application on ARS 6.3. Initially the requirement consisted of
Managers being able to approve the change request, after which then the
request gets processed, however as we were building the application the
requirement changed and we now we had multiple layers in the approval
process, Once that was completed we had another requirement where the
approving managers wanted to approve the request using a read license since
they did not have a lot to do on remedy, so the moral of the story is to get
your requirements right the first time, Building an application around the
CHG:Change form would not be as difficult as it is to get everyone on the
same page and define a generalised process for everyone.

Hope this helps

Hello group,

Is anyone is using the Change Request and Change Task lite modules

need for a new accounts application I am designing except for the
dependency functionality and possibly the approval process.  Has
anyone implimented their own dependency functionality and / or

Re: Remedy 6.3 and 7.0

2007-04-15 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Katherine,

I would recommend MidTier 7.0 for these reasons,


  - Admins can use the prefetch utility and save time for loading those
  forms on the web for the first time.
  - Users can run remedy reports on the web.
  - Users can customise their table field and sort it accordingly.
  - MdTier 7.0 can now display check boxes as check boxes and not as
  drop down list that helps me for my shopping cart applications built on
  remedy.
  - It comes with a sample SSO Plugin.
  - Users can save their searches and run saved searches just like
  macros on the user tool.
  - With Midtier 7 you can also have CSS style sheets for individual
  fields and forms.

Hope this helps.

Re: attachment filename when using mid-tier

2007-04-15 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Vinson,
  We were facing a simlar problem and we wrote a SQL
function to strip off the leading path.

Here's that function code:

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

CREATE FUNCTION fnFindFileName (@InputString as varchar(255))
RETURNS varchar(128)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @EvalString varchar(255),
   @EvalCharacter char(1),
   @OutputString varchar(128),
   @counter int
SET @counter = len(@InputString)
SET @EvalString = @InputString
SET @EvalCharacter = RIGHT(@EvalString,1)
SET @OutputString = ''
WHILE @counter0 AND @EvalCharacter'\'
BEGIN
   SET @OutputString = @EvalCharacter + @OutputString
   SET @EvalString = LEFT(@EvalString,LEN(@EvalString)-1)
   SET @EvalCharacter = RIGHT(@EvalString,1)
END
RETURN @OutputString
END

GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

We wrote that function result to a temp field, then We used the following
RUN PROCESS command:  PERFORM-ACTION-SAVE-ATTACHMENT to save the attachment.

Now I'm not 100% sure that is all that you need, change the name in both

As I don't have a system to try this you can go ahead at your own risk.

Re: cmdbsvr20.dll: The specified module could not be found.

2007-03-24 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Cardoso,

1. Click on the Change Pending record in the Class Manager and click on the
View Log button. If there was an error in synching the class, the status
will say Error and give an error message. If the status is Pending, it
either means the arcmdbd process never issued the CMDBSyncMetaData API call,
or the process is still happening within the CMDB API.

2. Check if the arcmdbd server process is running, and if the dispatcher
(arsvcdsp) server process are running on the server. If not, verify both are
listed in the armontor.cfg/conf file. This server process is responsible for
telling the CMDB to build the class.

3. Enable arcmdbd logging by adding CMDB-Debug: T and CMDB-Debug-Level: 5 to
the ar.cfg/conf file and restart the AR Server. If no log file is generated,
comment out the line from armonitor.cfg/conf file and run that line from the
console to verify the arcmdbd is running properly.

4. Verify the shared libraries for CMDB 2.0 are specified in the ar.cfg/conf
file, and if not, correct the issue and restart the AR Server:


Load-Shared-Library: cmdbsvr20.dll,or libcmdbsvr20.sl, or libcmdbsvr20.so

Load-Shared-Library-Path: path to the above file

5. Enable API logging in BMC Remedy Administrator. Below is an example of
how the CMDB API calls appear in the ARAPI log:

API  TID: 10 RPC ID: 088636 Queue: Admin  Client-RPC:
390696  USER: Remedy Application Service  /* Sat Apr 01 2006 21:19:
47.9234 */+SYNC CMDBSync -- from Unidentified Client (protocol 12) at IP
address 172.23.33.40

In CMDB 2.0, the CMDB API calls and their results are written to the
ARServer API log. The AR API calls that implement the work are also listed
afterward, so it is easy to correlate which AR API calls are issues to
perform the work of the CMDB.

Hope this helps

Re: Approval Server issues

Dear Jim,

When you start an approval process for a ticket, a record is created for the
approval process in AP:Detail.
You can have multiple approvals run against a Change ticket, but only one at
a time.

This error says that an attempt was made to start an approval process
(Application New-Details
command), but there is already an active approval process against this
ticket since there is an active
record in AP:Detail. Cancel or Approve the previous AP:Detail record. To
identify the record, open AP:Detail
in search mode and in the Request field, place the ticket number of the
record that the approval process is
being run against.

Also check the notification filters for the join form information. Try
running arjoinfix on the other join forms as well..

After the recent upgrade to 6.3 the Approval engine ceased to function on
our production, Unit Test and development environments, but worked fine on
our functional test environment.

We found that the Approval server in the other environments was suddenly
referencing a joing which was similar to the AP Detail Signature join but
had been created for reporting.

In development we removed these joins and ran arjoinfix.  This fixed the
issue in dev.  We did the same in function test (although there was no
problem, just for consistency) and it was fine.  Now we have done it in
Unit
test and it still does not work.  Specifically the approval server logs
are
showing an error stating * No Entry-Detail-Signature join form to send

We're open to all suggestions and ideas at this point.
Remedy has of course suggested upgrading the approval server to 6.3 but
noone thus far has been able to confirm this wont cause issues with the

2007-03-21 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Theo,
A 404 error means that the server has not found anything
matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is
temporary or permanent. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the
server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old
resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. This
status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly
why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.
 Have you installed the Servlet Exec as an ISAPI or a
service? Also did you try patching the Sevlet Exec with the latest patch?
Also check if you can access any local jsp files on the IIS server. Hope
this helps

Re: Upgrade from V5 to V6.3

2007-02-20 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Sean,

Option 1:
1.  Perform a database backup of the ARSystem database on your production V5
server
2.  Restore the above database backup to new server machine
3.  Install AR System 6.3 onto new server machine, when it asks to overwrite
the database or upgrade, select upgrade.
4.  Download the latest patch for AR System 6.3 and install (server,
user and admin tool patch)
5.  Export all active links and menus to a DEF file using the 6.3 admin tool
6.  Run arclean against the DEF file (you may need to run several times to
look for all the different server references you have)
7.  Import the character menus and active links back into the system using
the 6.3 admin tool.
8.  Then *test* the application - ALL aspects to ensure it is functioning -
all menus, workflow and as the different users of the system to ensure their
permissions and functionality is the same as the existing production
system.  A test plan is a good idea so you know how it functions in the
existing environment and to ensure it functions the same in the new
environment.

Option 2:
1.  Install your database and AR System 6.3 on your new server machine
2.  Download the latest patch for AR System 6.3 and install (server,
user and admin tool patch)
3.  Identify all changes to the group/user forms and added menus/workflow as
compared to the 6.3 group/user.
4.  Apply the group/user changes by hand to the 6.3 group and user forms
using the 6.3 admin tool.
5.  Using your V5 admin tool export your forms and related workflow to a DEF
file.
6.  Run ARCLEAN against the above DEF file - you may need to run several
times for each server reference you want to remove.
7.  Using the 6.3 admin tool import the forms from the above DEF file.
8.  Using the 6.3 admin tool import the menus from the above DEF file.
9. Using the 6.3 admin tool import the filters, active links and escalations
from the above DEF file.
10. Then *test* the application - ALL aspects to ensure it is functioning -
all menus, workflow and as the different users of the system to ensure their
permissions and functionality is the same as the existing production
system.  A test plan is a good idea so you know how it functions in the
existing environment and to ensure it functions the same in the new
environment.

Option 3:
1.  Install your database and AR System 6.3 on your new server machine
2.  Download the latest patch for AR System 6.3 and install (server,
user and admin tool patch)
3.  Purchase and Install Migrator product to perform the migrator between
the two servers.  This product also can produce differences reports as
well.  It functions at the API level.
4.  Then *test* the application - ALL aspects to ensure it is functioning -
all menus, workflow and as the different users of the system to ensure their

Hi all,

We have a V5 Remedy installation running on Oracle 8.1.7 on HPUX11 that we
are planning on moving across to a Linux server, running Remedy 6.3 with
Oracle 9.1.2

I'm interested to hear from anyone as to your experiences in upgrading,
and
as to what they believe the best order is to upgrade Remedy / Oracle is or
any pitfalls (of which i dont doubt there are many !)

Thanks in advance.

Sean

Re: Export application from 5.1.2 import into 6.3

2007-02-20 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Gregory,
   For an export on the 4.0.3 version, a 4.5 version and
the V5.1 ARClean should be used. ARClean utility is used to rid a definition
file of hard-coded server name references and will replace the references
with a placeholder. The @ symbol which AR Server recognizes as a placeholder
for the server name, renders the workflow objects contained in the
definition file server-independent. Workflow will now use the name of the
currently connected AR  Server when a server name is required. The ARClean
utility can be downloaded from Supportweb in the Developers Community
section within Community Downloads. When searching for the utility, note the
download type is Utility and the Category is Maintenance. Hope this
helps.

Regards,
Roney Samuel Varghese

Remedy ARS 5.1.2 patch 1313
Solaris 5.8
Oacle 9i

I have a custom application that is completely self contained and that is
called via a button from a form in another custom application in the
environment listed above.  I'm wondering if I can export the self
contained application from 5.1.2 and import it into a 6.3 ARS server
running the out of the box products, in a comparable environment.  I've
seen the thread that identifies issues w/ an export of 4.X code and import
into 6.3 but haven't been able to find one that deals w/ 5.1.2.

Re: ITSM 7 MidTier Install

2007-01-31 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Frank,
Do you get a message on the status bar which says user
unable to load userdata.js ? If you do then to resolve this you need to have
an AR System User Preference entry setup with the correct Timezone set for
each user. Hope this helps.

Any thoughts?

Re: Failure during SQL operation to the database

2007-01-31 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Mark,
   I have seen a lot of these issues come up only with the
Oracle database I would suggest you to upgrade Oracle to the latest patch
probably to 10.2.0.2. Once that is done try installing ARS 7.0.1 on it. Hope
this help.

** Hi,

*The Specs:*

 AR System 7
Windows 2003 Fully Patched
Oracle 10 Client installed and connection to the Database Tested and

The Server itself is a dual Core with Lots of Horse Power, and lots of

anyone come across this when installing AR System 7?

Re: Cannot start server

2007-01-20 Thread Roney Samuel Varghese

Dear Janet,
  If the DB is on another box, Check for database locks,
which might be caused when you tried to restart the services. Hope this
helps

 The SQL server is on the same box and appears to be up and running.  I
 don't have a lot of Sybase knowledge but I could login –isql and use the

 Janet, I'm pretty sure that the problem is it can't contact your SQL
 Server.  Is the SQL server on a seperate box?  Is it up and running?
