Re: Tasks not being activated properly

2009-03-31 Thread Scott Illari
Anne,

 

This is a known issue with Remedy.  We fought with them for months to get it
on the bug list since it was intermittent problem.  Here is the article from
their knowledge base.  It includes the defect tracking ID so you can keep up
with it.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Tasks are not always going from Staged to Pending or Assigned. When this
happens, unable to manually get the task's status off of Staged.

Top of Form

Problem

Have Change Requests with multiple tasks in sequence.  Intermittently, some
tasks will get stuck in Staged status. The previous task was closed, but
workflow failed to change the Status of the next one in sequence to become
Assigned or Pending.  Attempts to manually change the Status in the task
after this happens generates an error.  In this situation, unable to work
the task and close.  Need help to get the Status corrected, off of Staged.

 

Product

BMC Remedy Change Management Application (version 7.0.03) patch 8

 

Environment

Server: Windows Server 2003; Client: Windows XP; HW: Pentium Pro; Language:
English-USA; Database: Oracle;

 

Solution

There is a hidden field associated with the TMS:Task form, State (10003019).
This field must be set to Active for the task to allow a status change.  For
some reason, the OOB workflow has been found to intermittently fail in
setting this.  The exact cause is still under evaluation. The defect related
to this is SW00316007. 

 

In-house testing of a simple active link which pushes the value of Active to
this field for the task in question has succeeded in triggering the other
OOB workflow to advance the status of the task. For example:  

One way to accomplish this would be to create a new form with a character
field and a button.  The character field is populated with the ID of the
task that needs to be moved from Staged, expl - TAS13.  Pressing the
button will trigger an active link to search the TMS:Task form for the
matching task record (a Push If action).  When found, it will push to the
field, State, a value of Active.  This action should trigger the other out
of box workflow to then change the Status of the task to either Pending or
Assigned.

 

NOTE:  Be sure to have proper backups when trying custom workflow in case it
is found necessary to restore to original state.

This may be something you already checked, but are these tasks being
assigned to anyone?  I've seen it happen when tasks are not assigned and the
solution was very simple (just assign it.)  This may or may not be your
issue, but I would check that first if you haven't already.

Has anyone seen something like this (ITSM 7.0):

We've had a couple of instances recently where there were a sequence of
ad-hoc tasks on a change.  We'll get a user saying that they can't access a
given task and what it is is that all the previous tasks are closed, but the
rest are all in staged status.  Nothing we can do seems to cause these to
activate.  We have theorized that someone is changing the sequence after the
first one has been activated, but we're not sure.

Re: Capture ComputerName and UserName

2009-03-19 Thread Scott Illari
Jason,

 

You won't be able to gather the user's computer information thru a filter
since they run on the server.  You will need to run your $PROCESS$ command
in an active link without using "@@".  Since you are attempting to do this
in a filter, I am assuming timing does not matter so you can capture it on
window open, window loaded, display, submit, modify..in the active link.

 

Hope this helps.

Re: CR Web timeout

2009-03-16 Thread Scott Illari
William,

 

I am not sure what version of CR Enterprise you are on but on Version X
(10), you could set various timeout settings by:

1) Go to the Administrator Control Panel

2) Go Servers

3) click on the link of each server within the group.  Each one will give
you different settings that you can modify to increase the timeouts.

 

The settings range from the maximum number of records to retrieve, cache
size and processing timeouts.

 

Hope this helps.

I am having a issue with large (10,000+) record reports on the web timing
out.

 

It appears that any Crystal report that takes longer than a few (3-5? I
haven't timed it...) minutes to process just blow up.  It has all of the
appearances of a timeout trying to reach a website.  Smaller datasets
complete successfully.

 

This is a setup using ARS and MT 7.1 on Solaris with CR Enterprise on a
Windows server.  

 

According to Google there is a timeout setting somewhere for the web-based
Crystal Report Viewer.  This is the ActiveX component that is used in
browsers to interface with the report run on the CE server and serve/display
it back to the user.  I can't find the setting anywhere..and Google was not
helpful either.

I am not sure about the version restrictions for 7.5 but we are running an

Hey fellow Listers,

Is it possible to install AR System  7.1 or 7.5 on two virtual instances on
the same server pointing to two different databases on the same server?
Meaning that ARS Instance 1 would point to Oracle Instance 1 and ARS
Instance 2 would point to Oracle Instance 2, all on the same server. Is this
even possible?

I know you can install two AR Systems on a server and have them point to a
single database but I am not sure that it is possible to do Two AR Systems
to separate databases, all on the same server.

Re: What is the default admin user account for ITSM 7.5?

2009-03-16 Thread Scott Illari
John,

 

You are correct that the appadmin account doesn't exist in the user form.
It does exist in CTM:People.  You will need to remove one of the Fixed
licenses from one of those users and give to appadmin in the CTM:People
form.  This will cause the account to be created in the User form so you can
use it for login.  Login as Demo to accomplish this and apply the
permissions and license to appadmin.  Once done, you will be able to login
as appadmin to complete the ITSM configuration.

 

The other option, is to just permission Demo or one of the other users the
same as you would appadmin.  It is up to you.

 

Hope this helps

All,

 

I just installed ITSM 7.5 and I went to log in with the default ITSM admin
account "appadmin" and it does not exist. I went to the user form and the
only user accounts in the system are:

 

Demo

DMLadmin

DMLDataadmin

 

Without the appadmin account I cannot configure ITSM with the Demo account.
I do not know the default passwords for: DMLadmin or DMLDataadmin. What
happened to appadmin in ITSM 7.5? Is there any documentation on how to
create an appadmin? Also, FYI I did not install sample data, and I am
wondering should I have installed sample data to get this admin account? 

 

Need help. Thanks.

Re: Anyway to read the ARDBC via workflow?

2009-03-12 Thread Scott Illari
Chris,

 

Since you are obviously having issues with the $SERVER$ identification
within the escalation,  I was wondering if there was something else that you
could use as a qualifier (even if it isn't as clean).  Just as a test, you
could modify the qualification for your production server to say $DATE$ >
"1/1/70" (which it will always be) and on your dev server set it up as
$DATE$ < "1/1/70".  Obviously, this is ugly and a BAD way to get one to fire
and one not but if you need it done quickly, it will work until you can
debug the $SERVER$ issue.  You just need to remember to change the
qualification in your def or xml file prior to migration.

** Chris,
It seems like there has to be something wrong with the qualification. As you
can see from the responses, plenty of people use $SERVER$ for this exact
type of thing. Usually the only hurdle is figuring out exactly what $SERVER$
returns. (short name vs long name, etc.)

Can you show us the entire qualification you are using?
Also, for fun and giggles, have you tried printing $SERVER$ on your dev
machine to make absolute sure that it doesn't match?

Have an escalation do a Set field action and put the SERVER keyword in a
field.

Turn on Filter and Escalation logs and verify that the value you see
there is the value you were using.

Olivia,

 

As long as your custom  app doesn't interact with ITSM at all, then you are
fine with AR User (fixed or floating) depending on usage.  If you are
interacting with ITSM, then you would need the specific application license
that is being touched by your custom app.  It depends on usage whether you
need fixed or floating.

James, while you are right about everything else, users do not need any kind
of licenses to submit a request in a 'custom' application that Tricia asked
about. You need a license only to modify a request that has not been
submitted by you if the Submitter mode is Locked.

 

Another licensing basic is that all users designated as Administrators of
the system MUST have a Fixed license so that they can perfom their
Administrator functions. Just adding them to the Adminstrator group is not
enough.

 

At least one user MUST have a Fixed license and be in the Administrator
group at all times.

 

Cheers

That all depends on your needs.  Fixed and Floating licenses allow users to
submit and modify all entries, barring any other security you might add.
The difference between fixed and floating is that Floating licenses are
shared.  If you have 20 users sharing 5 floating licenses, only 5 users can
login with read/write access.  A fixed license is a dedicated license to
individual users.  Someone with a fixed license will always be allowed to
login with read/write access. "Read" licenses allow users to submit and
modify only those entries that they created. Then there is the "Restricted
Read" license that only allows submit.

"Read" and "Restricted Read" licenses are unlimited.  You can assign as many
of these as you wish.

Re: Selection Field Manipulation?

2009-02-23 Thread Scott Illari
Mark,

Based upon what you are describing, I think you might be able to get away
with using 4 individual Check Box fields.  You can show and hide them based
upon whatever criteria you desire and the look and feel is similar to that
of the Radio Button so you should have no trouble with the customer.  You
would just need to ensure they select only the correct number of boxes by
using workflow.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Selection Field Manipulation?

Hello All,
 
Customer wants a dynamic radio button list.  I am not sure this is possible,
but hope someone may know how to make it so.
 
Thought 1:
Manipulate a Selection Type Field (radio button) at runtime to show/hide
attribute values dynamically.
 
For example, I have a selection field with 4 values:  A, B, C, D
 
When the user logs on, I want to check their group memberships, or
permissions, and based on this, show/hide certain values within the list.
 
Problem is, I don't know how to dynamically manipulate a selection type
field.
 
Thought 2:
 
Do with a drop down menu, but cannot figure out how to make it a radio
button type selection.
 
Thought 3:
Build single value radio buttons, loop through them with code to hide/show
accordingly, then build workflow to manage user selections.
 
This I can do, but seems like a ton of code, and cumbersome to maintain.
Probably not worth the effort, if I could convince the customer of that.
 
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.
 
Thanks,
Mark

Re: How to save huge qual string in Table / Tree Property?

2009-02-11 Thread Scott Illari
Chuck,

 

I would follow these steps

1)  Create a hidden display only character field on the
form. Just be sure the DB size of the field is 0 to hold the qualification
if it ever grows.

2)  Update the table field so the qualification is
EXTERNAL($Display Only Field$)

3)  Have an Active Link set the display only field on Window
Open or Display or Loaded (Whichever works for you) 

4)  Have the next action perform a Change Fields that
refreshes the table.

 

Hope that helps.

Hello all,

 

I am trying to update the Table / Tree Property on the HPD:Incident Assoc
Search form to let users search for some of their custom fields.  However,
the Qualification string is so large that the Admin tool will not let me add
to it.  I can't even re-paste the original qualification back into the field
if I remove it.  So, BMC must have a trick for pasting a HUGE qualification
string here.

 

Does anyone know how to do this?

Re: transaction for parent/child changes

2009-02-06 Thread Scott Illari
Brien,

 

I would suggest that instead of pushing directly from your dialog, you put
the same display only fields on the primary request form.  Those fields
would be set on Commit Changes/Close Window of the dialog.  When the primary
request is saved, you then have a filter do a push fields to your child form
to modify all matching requests.

 

Hope this helps.

** We've designed a form that has child requests displayed in a table list
field.  You can interact with these child requests through this form and
update them via display only fields and push-fields activelink buttons etc.
So the problem is you can update some things on the main form, and update
some children requests, close the main request and say "yes, lose changes".
A user might expect that the changes to the children would be reverted back
to what they were.

Is there any way to encapsulate the whole process of editing the primary
requests and N children requests into a single transaction that gets
committed only upon saving of the primary request?

Thanks!

Hi,

My client has a Mid-Tier configured with THREE server aliases for their
ONE arserver:
xxx123
xxx123.blabla.se
arsprod

When a user logs in, he sees two sets of application lists for server
xxx123 and arsprod. For some fortunate reason, the xxx123.balbla.se name
is omitted.

The Server Name Alias is set to xxx123.

How do you handle this? I have not set up this system, but I would have
set the server-name-alias to arsprod, and only registered one arserver
in
Mid-Tier-Config.

The reason we need xxx123.blabla.se in the config is that
Email-Notification-Shortcuts to Mid-Tier is automatically set to the
fully
qualified name xxx123.blabla.se. I have not found a way to configure
this
though...

Personally, I would have tried to use one alias in all instances.
Preferrably the arsprod-alias.

I would appreciate any feedback.

Not really a thought but an option if you haven’t tried it already.  You can 
attempt to add the attachment to the pool itself and let the server find the

I figured but  what the hell.  The only other things I can think is to try a 
different file type like .doc or .xls or to place the file within the directory 
of the server so you don’t need to declare the full path of the file and you 
can just state the name.  It might not like the full path for some reason.

Re: Remedy User Suddenly Crashing for Multiple Users

2009-01-26 Thread Scott Illari
Brian,

 

I remember a problem a few years back when the 5.6 User tool would crash if
the record being returned had a corrupted attachment in it.  We got around
it by upgrading the User Tool to the newer version (at the time I think it
was 6.x), loading the corrupted record, and deleting the attachment.  Since
you have already upgraded the User Tool on some and they are fine, I would
have someone with the newly installed version bring up "Murphy" and see if
there is an attachment on the record.  If there is, then save the attachment
locally, and have one of the affected users try to open the same record and
see if the problem is resolved.

 

Hope this helps.

 /* Mon Jan 26 2009 11:16:03 */

 

It crashes when it tries to run the Set Fields action. This workflow has not
been modified in over 6 months. I also looked at the filter and sql logs and
did not see anything.  Thinking about this if it was workflow related then
reinstalling a newer client would not fix this problem. I am stumped. I

Desk (version 5.6) form against a person's name. The error is BMC Remedy
User Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. Not everyone
is getting the error and it does not happen every time but almost every time
they search for a name. At first I thought it might have been some sort of
network issue but now I am not sure. It just is strange that this started at
the same time. The server itself was not touched - no changes. We are on
version 7.1 patch 1 running on XP desktops and Server 2003/Sql 2000. I had
people uninstall their client, reboot and install User 7.1 patch 5 and they
seem to be ok. Anyone have any idea what could have caused this to suddenly
happen?
