Application-Delete-Entry on the Alert List

2008-04-10 Thread TL
Hi all,

I am using Remedy Alert for user notifications and I'm opening the
Alert List on the web. I have added a delete button on the Alert List
form so my users can delete entries as they deem necessary. The
workflow I'm using is an Active Link that executes on this button and
my If Action has the following Run Process action

@@:Application-Delete-Entry "Alert Events" $Request ID$.

This doesn't work because the Request ID field is always null.

What I'm finding is that the Alert List form has a table with field ID
706. This Remedy table lists some some of the fields from the Alert
Events form and these values are available. It does not however list
the Request ID field. If I try to use it, it's null. The easiest thing
would be to add the Request ID field to the table but there doesn't
seem to be a way to add it. Does nayone have any ideas?

Automatically start Remedy Alert functionality

2008-01-30 Thread TL
Hello List,

I'm having a problem automatically starting Remedy Alert after
rebooting the client machine. I'm using Remedy Alert patch v22 for ARS
6.3. The server and tool are configured correctly as I am getting
alert messages, but automatically starting the tool doesn't seem to
work after reboot.

I installed Remedy Alert, configured it to start automatically, set up
a user profile for myself, and pointed the default user to DEFAULT
HOME. If I exit the program and restart Remedy Alert, the tool logs
right in without having to enter user information. Exactly what I
want. If I reboot the machine, Remedy Alert tries to start
automatically, but it fails to login onto the server. If I remove the
entry in the password field and reenter my password, I can logon just
fine. I can exit and restart again without entering user information.
Reboot, bam -- SOL.

I found that the Alert tool is setting my encrypted password in the
registry on every login in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Remedy\ARUser
\Users\tlamy\LastPassword

When I exit and restart the program the Alert tool appears to pull the
encrypted string from the registry, it reads fine, decrypts the
string, and logs me on. When it pulls the value after rebooting, the
tool cannot either read or decrypt the string.

I removed all Remedy tools, removed the AR System directories,
reinstalled Alert solo and tested. Still no joy. Does anyone know
what's going on and how to fix this?

Thanks
Tom

Re: Run Process in AL to execute a Perl script - Help!

2008-01-22 Thread TL
I got it to work. I was not returning a value, so the command @@:/usr/
local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Custom/alert.pl works.
Not $PROCESS$ @@:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Custom/alert.pl

Thanks all.

Re: Run Process in AL to execute a Perl script - Help!

2008-01-22 Thread TL
The script does work when run as root.
Permissions are -rwxr-xr-x so anyone can execute it.
I tried to call perl -v > outfile but I'm still "The system cannot
find the file specified."

I'm stumped.

Run Process in AL to execute a Perl script - Help!

2008-01-21 Thread TL
Hi all,

I'm trying to run a Perl script from an Active link. I'm firing the AL
on a CTI match. The Run Process action looks like this:

$PROCESS$ @@:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Custom/alert.pl

No matter what I do, Remedy is giving me the following error:

"The system cannot find the file specified."

I have moved the script to various locations on the server including
the server directory for the AR System but Remedy still can't locate
the file. Do I need to set some environment variable in the ar.conf to
make this work?

Thank you,

Tom

Alert tool - ARS 6.3

2007-11-19 Thread TL
Hi List,

I am trying to setup and configure the Alert Tool on a Remedy Server
running v6.3 patch 022. Can anyone confirm if the protocol for this is
UDP, and if there is any decent documentation out there.

What I'm finding is I need to setup a listen port on the Alert Tool
and an outbound port on the server. Then I have to open this port on
the UDP protocol for both inbound and outbound traffic. Is that it?

Is there any documentation to verify the protocol as UDP? What about
recommendations for the port(s)? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
