Re: Namesake Views

2014-01-23 Thread Shelston, Patrick
This is what we do.

We just re-create the AR view into a custom view and manage it manually from 
that point forward.  For example, HPD_HELP_DESK would have a stable version 
called REPORTING__HPD_HELP_DESK (just be careful you don't exceed the maximum 
length of view names in your DB).

It's very easy to setup if you just copy/paste the view SQL and rename the name 
in the statement.

I had wanted to investigate triggers to regrant on CREATE VIEW statements, but 
never got around to it.

Mark,
The way we combated this particular issue was to actually create a new db view, 
one that is defined specifically for your purposes, and is not re-created after 
every form change.

HI All,

The move from 6.3 (custom)  to 7.6  ITSM always seems to have more surprises 
than I care to sustain. Anyway, I have a monitoring tool that queries the 
hpd_help_desk view. The monitoring tool is granted permission to the view using 
the command grant select on aradmin.hpd_help_desk to monitoringtool;

Before today I did not know about these namesake views. Last night I added a 
field to the HPD:HelpD Desk and this query broke. Apparently there is a script 
that runs, deletes rather than updates the view and builds a new view. The 
result is any grants assigned to the view are wiped out.  After that monitoring 
tool could not query the view and the DatabaseError: ORA-00942: table or view 
does not exist was being returned.

One solution would be to grant the permission the monitoring tool anytime the 
view is rebuilt. Not my favorite approach. Has anyone run into this and come up 
with a better solution?

Are you using ITSM?  If so, there is usually an Advanced Search function in

It lets you do this type of search pretty easily.

Re: LIKE operation on a display-only character field is failing

2013-05-01 Thread Shelston, Patrick
Hard to tell without seeing the whole XML doc, but don't you need to wrap % 
signs on both sides?

I.e.:
'XML Data' LIKE %COMMENTS%

Another option might be to do a substring match and then test the result.

|  Subject: LIKE operation on a display-only character field is failing
|  
|  Listers-
|  
|  For some reason I am having a very tough time with an active link
|  qualification. I am using a display-only form with display fields to parse
|  the contents of an XML data file into discreet fields to push to a regular
|  form. The basic process is to use the XML tags to isolate the data in each
|  element and do a set fields to a display field on the form, then strip the
|  XML element (tags and data) from the front of the string and proceed to the
|  next element. I am walking a table to loop through all the elements.
|  
|  My problem is that any given record in the XML data may have zero to many
|  Comments. There is an opening tag COMMENTS that will show there is at
|  least one comment but if there are no comments then it will have a
|  COMMENTS/ tag instead. I have an active link that looks at the string and
|  decides whether or not to call the guide for parsing out the comments but
|  the qualification is not working at all.
|  
|  I first tried to test for the existence of the opening tag with this
|  qualification where XML Data is the character field (size 0) that holds the
|  contents of the XML file: 'XML Data' LIKE COMMENTS%
|  
|  However even when I can see that a previous active link set fields has set
|  the XML Data field to a string that starts with COMMENTS this
|  qualification fails. I tried to go the other way by using 'XML Data' LIKE
|  COMMENTS/% (the tag which indicates no comments are present) and NOT
|  'XML Data' LIKE COMMENTS% but no matter what I try the qualification
|  always fails.
|  
|  Am I missing something obvious about the way a LIKE operation works on a
|  character field in an active link? I found documentation that it may not
|  work properly when comparing to the database value of an unlimited character
|  field but this is just a display field on a display-only staging form. Any
|  suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Below is a screen shot of the data
|  field at the time the qualification is evaluated:

Re: Whats with the Classification field labels in 8.1

|  
|  Hi Guys,
|  
|  Time to let off some steam.
|  Just having a look a the classification tab that has been added to the Best
|  Practice View of Incidents in 8.1.
|  For the Operational Categorization Tier 1 - 3 and Product categorization
|  Tier 1-3 fields the display labels of the fields have been hidden behind
|  other fields and then separate text fields added where the labels would have
|  normaly been.
|  
|  Does anyone have any idea why on earth this has been done and why the labels
|  are not visible as normal?
|  The product Name, Model, Manufacture labels are all laid out as normal.
|  
|  This will affect users when they try to do an avanced search and click on
|  the field label expecting it to be added to the search bar but it will not
|  work.
|  
|  Also this highlights a bug of mine and many of my users - the name of the
|  actual field is ''Product Categorization Tier 1 but the label is Tier 1.
|  Which means when users unfamilar with the field names try to do a search,
|  report, filter or look in the audit log they cant find the fields they want
|  as the labels are different. My favourite one is the Problem coordinator
|  field which shows up as the Assignee Pblm Mgr in the audit log.
|  
|  As I write/rant I think I know why it has been done in the incident form -
|  it is for asthectic reasons - i.e it doesnt look pretty having a list of
|  long labels:
|  Product Categorization Tier 1
|  Product Categorization Tier 2
|  Product Categorization Tier 3
|  It might not look pretty but at least the usability would have been better!
|  Why not shorten to Product Cat Tier 1.
|  
|  I notice in the change module they have named the fields Tier 1 - 3. But
|  then most things seem to be done differently accross the modules. eg. how
|  the customer is selected is wildly different in Incident and change.
|  
|  Note to any BMC readers:
|  Please try to keep labels, Db names and visble labels the same Please get
|  the change/incident/problem teams to look at the other modules and keep them
|  some way similar at least in the end users eyes.
|  
|  And breathe.  Sorry about that folks, I just had to get it off my chest.

Re: Developer Studio 7.6.04 Form View Resize.

2011-06-08 Thread Shelston, Patrick
You have to use panels that will auto-expand (set to Fill).

Make sure that if you have any nested panels that all are set to fill.

Sometimes I find that I need to reset the layout to XY, resize the
object DOWN a little bit (save) and the reset back to FILL.  There's a
bug in there somewhere, and that's the only way I've been able to
resolve this issue when panels are not auto-expanding even if they are
set to FILL.
