Re: AREmail problems - ARS 6.3
Yep, they are actually copied from the production serverwhich got me thinking this morning, so I tried using an IMAP4 email box on my current production box, and sure enough, it failed the same way. I suspect I need to update the javamail.providers file with an entry for imap4 Just not sure what that would be yet! Thanks for the idea Joe!

Re: AREmail problems - ARS 6.3
I think your dead on Fred, I realized this morning that it (IMAP4) doesn't work on my current prod box either (I use MBOX there). I think I need to track down the verbiage for the javamail.providers file uses for imap4 (it only has an entry for MBOX). Thanks for the Idea!

OLD Midtier and New technology....
I'm hoping that there are some folks experiencing this. I've got a pretty old (and soon to be retired) ARS installation. ARS 6.3, Midtier 6.3, ITSM 6.3. The midtier is running on a Solaris box using Apache and New Atlanta. Recently, my organization decided that the bleeding edge of techcnology was a good place to go. So, as part of a refresh, they dropped Brand New Windows 8.1 machines on everyones desk. YAY! These machines are all using IE 11. Now, I have a small subset of users (at least the ones I know about) who are having a hell of a time with this setup. They are unable to log into our Remedy installation via IE. When they do, they get the following error: Caught excepetion undefined: undefined - TypeError: Object doesn't support property or method 'getAttribute'...AT: undefined A few of these people have been able to get by this error by clearing the cache, taking the site out of and then back into compatability mode. But with most, no amount of cajoling will get the site to run. My org is experimenting with putting Firefox out there, I'm hopeful that this will resolve the issue, but until then I'm stuck. Has anyone ran up against this issue? Were you able to get around it? Do you hate Win 8.1 as much as I do? Thanks in advance! -- Warren R.

Re: OLD Midtier and New technology....
I thought about it. But the server is in code freeze due to its advanced years and the fact that we're going to retire it soon. If I screwed it up, i'd be in a world of hurt.

Re: OLD Midtier and New technology....
I appreciate everyone's responses. I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place on this one. I can't update the midtier or make any changes to the environment (it's a long sad story). Luckily, I just discovered that we have older versions of IE available to my users via Citrix, so I can direct them to that.

Plugin errors
Good morning/afternoon/evening! Recently, we've been seeing plugin errors creeping into our environment. They have now gotten to a point where the system can no longer function as designed. ARS 7.6.04 Patch 5 CMDB 7.6.05 Patch 5 Mid-Tier 7.6.04 Patch 5 Apache Tomcat 6.0.20 Windows 2008 Standard Server (virtual) MS SQL 2008 We are seeing similar issues with different functionality on both our Dev and Prod environments. PRODUCTION 3 identical application servers and 3 identical Mid Tier servers (running Apache Tomcat 6.0.20). We see the following error when we try to create a "Seat" in our CMDB. [SERVER_GROUP_NAME] (9555) BMC.FILTERAPI.NORM.ENGINE : RPC: Miscellaneous tli error - System error (connection refused) If we attempt to open the Impact Simulator, we see a similar error: Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System Plug-In server : [SERVER_GROUP_NAME] (9556) AIS.FILTERAPI : RPC: Miscellaneous tli error - System error (Connection refused) (ARERR 8760) We turned down 2 of the 3 app servers and did not receive the error. However when we bring up the other 2, we continue to see them. DEVELOPMENT We see similar errors, but they come about differently. Single app server and a single mid tier. When we open the "AR System Administration: Server Information" form, we see this error: The specified plug-in does not exist. : REMEDY.ARDBC.SERVER.ADMINISTRATION (ARERR 8755) TROUBLESHOOTING TO DATE I've checked our ar.cfg files and armonitor files and they seem to be pointing to all the right places. I can't find anything that is specific to this error in the kbase (although I've found things similar). When I run through the troubleshooting for these similar things, everything seems to be OK. We have turned on just about every type of logging we can thing of. And other than the Plug in does not exist error, we haven't found anything. I suspect I have missed something. I'm hoping this will ring a bell with someone out there. I did open a ticket with BMC. They have escalated the issue to Engineering. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you in Advance!

USER_CACHE Problems
ARS 6.3 Oracle 10x Sun OS 5.1 A little help please! My legacy server is showing an issue that I have not dealt with before. A couple of days, my database started showing some problems related to tablespace. This caused a bunch of weird issues. The tablespace issue has been resolved. A couple of my users had closed their clients during that time and when they came back received the error message that they were still logged on and would they like the other session closed. They would answer in the affirmative, but when they would then log back on, they would get the same message. I then tried to kick them off from the admin tool, but they would still get the message. I then triggered (I think) a re-cache by adding a display only checkbox and then doing a modify all against all users with that checkbox checked. I did this based on kbase articles that talked about this type of issue. However I still have a couple of users who are getting this message. User logs don't show a need for them to be released, in fact they just show them logging in as normal. They are able to work by just closing (using the x to close the window). None the less, it is very annoying! Any ideas? Thanks! -- Warren R.

Re: USER_CACHE Problems
I did bounce the Remedy system after the problem started. It didn't work though I've been trying the following command: # ./arreload -a "[userid]" -p "[password]" -u "User" -s "[servername]" -f -d I get the following: Action Request System Reload Cache Manager Version 6.03.00 patch 016 Remedy, a BMC Software company. Copyright (c) 1991 - 2005 BMC Software, Inc. All rights reserved.

The problem can be either with the password or with the authentication string (if using NT authentication, the authentication string is the NT domain) or both.

Re: USER_CACHE Problems
I tried that Mark by utilizing a display only check box on the form. I figured that would workmaybe not? I also tried giving the user Administrator level privileges. As I expected, the problem went away. But the moment I took them back, the problem was back. If he just clicks the x in the warning box, he can work. The funny thing is that it pops back up when he opens his helpdesk case form. I suspect this may have something to do with the Helpdesk license assigned to him. Just a guess though.

Re: USER_CACHE Problems
Not mid-tier I'm afraid. They are using a Windows User Client (ARS 6.3 ITSM 5.5) I've had the user clear the local cache. Nothing seems to work. And I can't get the darn arreload to run. It's very frustrating!

Re: USER_CACHE Problems
Well You guys all rock. But it turned out to be workflow related! I don't know if this is out of the box, but there are some active links that fire when a person first logs in to my system and checks if they logged in from some where else. My suspicion is that it is custom and related to the addition of a government warning that pops up when a user first logs in. This workflow checks a form to see if a person is still logged in. There is some workflow that is supposed to delete the form entry when you log out, but because of the initial dbase issues I was having, that didn't happen for these 2 users (supposition on my part). This is separate from whatever process Remedy installed to check the licensing requirements, but it gives the same error message when tripped! Once I deleted the 2 users entries from this form, they were able to log in without issue (without the admin privs). Problem solved. I've been here for 6 years almost, and this is the first time I've run into this! Thank you again for everyone's kind suggestions. I now know more about how Remedy cache's users then I ever thought possible! Take care!

Re: USER_CACHE Problems
That's the beauty of an inherited system! You get to play Tomb Raider everytime you run into a problem. This one was just plain weird because I NEVER would have thought to look for workflow. Like Doug said earlier, this isn't supposed to be an issue at that level! Soon this thing is going to be retired I will not shed a tear!

Reporting question
ARS 7.6.04 ITSM 7.6.04 We just moved off of an ARS 6.3 client based installation. I am now getting a ton of questions about reporting. The Mid Tier manuals appendixes infer that you can still build reports with embedded qualifications that use parameters. However whenever I try to do it, I get an error. I'd like to be able to do something like 'Submit Date' >= $StartDateHere$ AND 'Submit Date' < $EndDate+1Here$. This was never an issue in the client, but now...whoo boy! I've got a helpdesk staffer who is in charge of creating reports that he is sharing with his management, but they hate the fact that they have to run a search, select records, then choose a report. They want to be able to just run the report from the report console and be prompted for the variables. I know it's possible with the BIRT tool, but we're just not there yet. Any help would be appreciated. Warren -- Warren R.

Notificationn with ARTask problems
Currently, when one of the canned notifications goes to our users from ITSM 7.6.04, patch1, the email includes the hyperlink URL to the underlying request (good) but it also includes the ARTask shortcut to the the Client version (bad). Is there a way to remove that ARTask without removing the url. Since the WUT is no longer used, I'm not even sure why it is in there! Windows 2008 R2 server MS SQL 2008 -- Warren R.

Fed Ex
Has anyone built an integration with FEDEX web services? I was just asked if I could build something. I assume that FedEX has a web service that can be consumed. I thought It would be a good thing to start by asking the folks here if they have done it, what there experience was like and what kind of information are they able to get. I would want to be able to set up shipping and print labels. But I would also like to be able to track packages based on a shipping tracking label. Any insight would be most appreciated.

Misses the point
>From today's Columbus Dispatch: *Buying the constitution * *Big money, not popular demand, is what drives the marijuana proposal* *The haphazard signature-gathering effort by backers of a marijuana-legalization ballot issue suggests something other than a grass-roots clamor to bring legalized pot to Ohio.* *And the cities and townships where backers of the issue propose to set up their government-sanctioned-monopoly pot farms don’t seem exactly enthusiastic about that prospect.* *All in all, the lurching campaign effort shows ResponsibleOhio’s proposal for what it is: a bid to use the mechanics of state government — and, thereby, voters — to create an insider business opportunity for a handful of people. The campaign is driven not by popular demand, but by the big money of the investors who stand to profit.* *If a genuine grass-roots group of Ohioans wanted to see marijuana legalized for medical or recreational use, nothing would stop them from circulating petitions in support of that effort. But despite ResponsibleOhio’s complaint that lawmakers have been ignoring a burning desire for years, that supposed desire hasn’t inspired very many people to volunteer to pass petitions.* *To get the proposed amendment onto the November ballot, the group is paying people to circulate petitions. To be fair, few groups could muster the hundreds of thousands of valid signatures needed by using volunteers alone; many turn to paid circulators. And ResponsibleOhio’s paid circulators certainly aren’t the first to turn in lots of flawed signatures.* *But, a spot check at county boards of elections shows a remarkably shoddy effort by ResponsibleOhio’s circulators: As of Friday, major counties were finding more than half of the signatures invalid for one reason or another. At this rate, when the counting is done, the group won’t have the 305,591 valid signatures required to make the ballot, even though it collected more than double the number. (If that happens, Ohio law allows a 10-day “cure period” for petitioners to try to get the additional signatures needed.)* *In Franklin County, as of Tuesday, only 40 percent of 113,000 signatures counted so far were valid. About 26,000 people weren’t registered to vote at the address they listed on the petition; 23,000 weren’t registered at all. About 7,800 were duplicates and 2,600 were deemed “not genuine."* *Circulators with any commitment to the cause they’re pushing, beyond a per-signature payment, tend to try a lot harder to get valid signatures.* *The pushback from communities that stand to host the constitutionally protected pot farms is more evidence that ResponsibleOhio’s heavy-handed approach is unwise. If the proposal was simply to make marijuana cultivation legal, prospective growers might emerge naturally and work with local officials and residents to win them over.* *Instead, ResponsibleOhio’s investors secured rights to properties in 10 locations around the state and wrote a constitutional amendment that would give them exclusive rights and hamper local government’s ability to get in their way.* *It’s no wonder Ohioans — those who actually have kept up their voting registrations and are concerned about their communities — aren’t the ones driving this self-serving scheme.* What the editorial board of the Dispatch seem to not understand is a simple fact If you smoke a lot of dope, you tend to do shit half - assed!

Now to the real post.... Right Answers
OKIn the hopes that any snickering has subsided from my last post I've been asked to perform the administrative tasks to install Right Answers in our ITSM 7.6.04 installation. One of the first items in the instructions (*Remedy Web Services Integration to RightAnswers Portals...The Basics*) is to make changes to the HPD:Help Desk form in Base Development mode - *If Neccesary.* Now this seems a bit counter-intuitive to me. As I understand the whole concept of "Base Development" v. "Best Practice Customization", when making a change to the base form without the use of overlays, then there is a better then good chance that when I do an upgrade, I'm going to lose that change. Am I missing something? I should be doing this on an overlay. Correct? -- Warren R.

Misi, I'm curious, why would you avoid the overlays? Is it because of the added complexity it adds to upgrades?

Security issue with 7.6.04 sp5 midtier
I'm wondering if anyone out there is ars list land has come across this issue We are on Windows 2008 boxes. We have 3 app servers and 3 web servers. Each run on their own virtual device. Load balancing is conducted by an F5 Load Balancer. Starting sometime in the last week (most likely the weekend) our users started encountering enourmous wait times logging into Remedy. Each time would take around 4 minutes! Needless to say, they weren't pleased. It took about a day and a half, but we finally worked the issue down to the load balancer our infrastructure provider uses. What happened is that a meta tag that is part of each Remedy form - . The load balancers IDS had sometime in the last month had an update that added a rule blocking IE5 content. We're not sure why it didn't actually start blocking this stuff until now, but it did. Now, our provider was able to change the rule so that it merely logs the usage and does not block it, so we are now back to normal operations, but it leaves open a potential security hole, and they are understandably resistant to leaving that open. When I spoke with BMC, I got back a response that there would be no more Hotrfixes for 7.6.04! That took me back a bit given the fact that we're in limited support until 1/2017! Now, I pushed back (lightly) and they are talking it over, so I'm not getting myself to worked up just yet. But I am curious if anyone else is having this issue. We're not that unusual in our setup. Anyone else? -- Warren R. Baltimore II Remedy Developer 410-533-5367 ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
Re: Security issue with 7.6.04 sp5 midtier
As I expected, no Hot Fix will be forthcoming for a pretty good reason It required a major re-work that gave us v 8.x! I'm ok with that one. We'll probably just stick with our workaround as we are hoping to move off this platform and onto 9 sometime in the next year.

Users not being released from server....
ARS 6.3, ITSM 5.5 Oracle 10x SunOS I've got a strange one folks, not really sure how to approach it. 2 days ago, something funky happened to my database. Not really sure what it was, but the DBA was able to eventually restore it. Anyhoo Ever since then, I have 2 users (that I am aware of) who cannot log in using the WUT (7.6.03) without first getting the "it appears that you are already logged into the system. Would you like us to reset your account? (All reset requests will be tracked and you will need to relogin)" message. When I check the License console, they are not showing as logged in. Additionally, if they click "Yes", it closes the client, but they continue to get blocked with the message. If, however, they just click the "x" on the message window and go through this 3 times, they get in! Remedy has been shut down and restarted on this machine twice, but they continue to be blocked. I considered using ARRELOAD, but I'm not sure that will affect this situation. Anybody have any ideas? -- Warren R.

ITSM 9 Smart Reporting and Amazon Web Services
Wondering if anyone out there has had a similar issue. We are installing the whole ARS9/itsm 9 suite on a Virtual Server from Amazon Web Services. It's ITSM 9 patch 1 on Windows 2012 operating system connecting to SQL 2010 (I thinkmay be wrong about that last bit). Anyway, my partner has discovered a bug with the installer for Smart Reporting. Evidently the Servername cannot have any special characters in the install setup process. Now, while our servername is clean in that regards, the FQDN is full of periods and dashes which breaks the install. We can't figure out a way around this? My buddy is pulling his hair out trying to figure this one out. -- Warren R.

Remedy 9.x and Amazon Web Services
I was curious if anyone out there has attempted an install of version 9 in the AWS EC2 environment? We are currently building a proof of concept installation using ARS 9.x, ITSM 9 and SSO. The developer who is working on the project has run into a myriad of issues. The problems he is having tend to be around broken installers, but he is also having a devil of a time getting the CMDB to work on one of the servers. Our organization is on a path to move to Amazon here in the next year, but the problems we are having right now are a bit concerning. He has spent days trying to get this up and running. Has anyone out there been able to do this? Do you know if BMC tests Remedy in the AWS environment? Love to hear from you! -- Warren R.

Email Struggles
ARS 6.3 patch 16 Solaris SunOS 5.10 Java SDK 1.4.2_07 I'm having a problem. I connect using IMAP4 to a Microsoft 365 server to download my email. I've been using this method for a couple of years now without problems. Prior to that, I had been using MBOX. I have been supporting this server for 7 years now and not once have I loaded a certificate for SSL. On Wednesday evening, my server stopped downloading email from Office 365. In the aremaild.sh_log file, I see the following error: Oct 19, 2015 7:55:27 AM com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore protocolConnect SEVERE: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found; nested exception is: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found javax.mail.MessagingException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found; nested exception is: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore.protocolConnect(IMAPStore.java:303) at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:233) at javax.mail.Service.connect(Service.java:134) at com.remedy.arsys.emaildaemon.ReceiverModule.initializeIncommingMailbox(ReceiverModule.java:1687) at com.remedy.arsys.emaildaemon.ReceiverModule.initialization(ReceiverModule.java:470) at com.remedy.arsys.emaildaemon.ReceiverModule.doWork(ReceiverModule.java:170) at com.remedy.arsys.emaildaemon.ThreadBase.run(ThreadBase.java:268) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534) Microsoft has said that they have not made any changes on their end. My UNIX team tells me no changes have been made there (and I believe them). I've done quite a few searches against these errors. Everything seems to be pointing to a certificate issue on my end. But I'm not really sure exactly what I need to do to update it. From what I can tell, I need to make the change to the cacerts file at: /usr/java142_07/jre/lib/security. I'm afraid the instructions for updating or creating these certs are a bit hazy. And the manual from Remedy is next to useless (due to the multiple methodologies to do this thing). Could somebody point me in the right direction? Do I need a cert from Microsoft? Or is this something I need to get from somewhere else? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! -- Warren R.

Re: Email Struggles
Mission accomplished! In the past, when we attempted to use the newer versions of Java, it would kill the email process. I got to thinking that when we tried that previously, we were using very different approaches to the retrieving email (MBOX). I had never tried using the newer versions with IMAP. So, I pointed the email daemon at the newest version (jdk1.6.0_101) and surprise! It worked! Thanks for getting me to think about that Pat! On Tue, Oct 20, 2015 at 7:49 AM, Warren R.

Possible Bug - ARS 9.0.01 installer fails with Java installation in "Program Files".
I've opened a ticket with BMC on this one. I will be adding this finding shortly, but I thought I'd share and find out if anyone else ran into this. We are upgrading from 7.6.04 to 9.0.01 Windows 2012 servers running on the AWS cloud MS SQL 2014. We loaded java jdk 8u65 in "D:\Program Files\Java" as is pretty typical. When I attempted the upgrade of Remedy to 9.x, it bombed out. The error was a bit misleading at first as the only kbase article suggested it was a problem with ARAdmin having illegal characters in the password (which it didn't). However, a more thorough reading of the logs showed that the actual problem was that the process was bombing out because the system didn't recognize the home of java. The error given was " LOG EVENT {Description=['D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,]} Evidently, this is a pretty common issue with installing applications in a Windows environment. There are a number of ways that the developer can avoid this when packaging the installer. BMC will probably have to rewrite the installer to take this into account (My opinion). I did find that if I install Java at the root level on the drive "D:\Java" that the installer runs just fine. Anyone else run into this? -- Warren R.

Fred, the fix is to actually turn that functionality back on for the windows server (I guess it's now turned off by default).

Re: Upgrading to Version 9.0 - Old Definition source server not specified in Settings.
You need to have a server set up and available to that tool that has the old version available. It is NOT something that is well documented (go figure). I'm going through a 7.6.04 - 9.0.01 upgrade and have found the documentation to be next to lousy. The wiki is impossible. I want my manuals back. And support hasn't been a lot of fun either.

Email Service is non functioning after upgrade to 9.0.01
First, the technical stuff. AREmail is running on a MS Server 2008 SP2 (Virtual) We upgraded from ARS 7.6.04 to 9.0.01 in a 3 app server environment. Email is only currently running on one of the 3 app servers Java JRE is 8u66 The Email service comes up, and the email log and email.lck file is created... And then nothing. We've checked the email_daemon.properties file, and it looks good.

Re: Email Service is non functioning after upgrade to 9.0.01
Thanks for the replies everyone! Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I spent quite a long time on the phone yesterday with Dolly from BMC. What we discovered was that while my email servers were coming up, the primary was not moving into an Active State, instead they were all in a Waiting state. We manually moved them to Active, and the primary one started functioning. We then made a change to the server and restarted the service, and it went back to waiting. Dolly has my log files and is working with Engineering to find out what the cause might be. In the meantime, I know now what is wrong and can take some easy steps to ensure it stays up and running until we find out how to fix the issue.

Re: Upgrade ITSM from 7.6.04 SP3 to 9.0.01
Daniel, We just completed the upgrade from 7.6.04 to 9.0.01. For the most part it was relatively easy albeit a VERY long process. I strongly urget that you take a look at this link if you haven't. We followed this process and found it to work quite well. https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/brid90/Upgrading+from+a+version+7.6.04+or+8.0.xx . Some things to keep in mind. When you are working on the Reconciliation, you must have a copy of your current installation running on a network that your development server can see. This is necessary so that the developers studio can connect with both for the "compare and contrast" part of the show. This part can take awhile depending on the number of customizations you have made. Don't make the mistake that I made and not take the time to really look at them. I ended up losing some things that I really needed The problems we have run into since Monday when we went live are these: - Reports can no longer be unlimited. Even though the flags are set for the 3 properties in config.properties on the mid tier servers are set to 0, they seem to be interpreted as default which limits reports to 2000. I got around this issue by setting a ridiculously high number (2,000,000). - Email Servers are not leaving the "Waiting" State on the Failover Whiteboard. Thus they don't send/receive. If we manually set the primary to "Active" then they work fine. I just have to monitor that till I get a fix from BMC. - I have a number of users who are no longer able to submit incidents. Some are receiving error messages that they do not have the right permissions (they do) and one is being told to provide information for the ticket that no one else has ever been required to provide. One other person cannot get to the people search form from the incident form. He is told that he doesn't have the appropriate permissions. - Some users are complaining that they are not receiving their notification Not sure about this one. That said, this has been one of the easiest upgrades I've gone through (the actual upgrade of production). We worked on it for a couple of months, and practiced quite a bit, but all of the preparation really helped. We started the actual work on last Friday at 6 pm and finished the last install at 6 pm on Sunday. My partner and I worked the upgrade straight through (taking turns for some shut eye). That was to upgrade 3 app servers and 3 mid tier servers.

Re: Upgrade ITSM from 7.6.04 SP3 to 9.0.01
Those shouldn't cause you any (or much) heartache when it comes to the reconciliation. It's only really looking at overlaid forms.. Now, it will convert overlays to granular overlayswhich I'm still trying to get my head fully around. On Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 1:43 PM, Daniel Wu wrote: > ** We will have to consider that now.

Group Notifications
I've got a bit of a connundrum 2 weeks ago, we upgraded from ARS/ITSM 7.6.04 to 9.0.01 (Windows 2008 servers and SQL 2008). After the upgrade we began to receive complaints from our users (not all) that they were no longer receiving notifications from Remedy. These seem to be Group Notifications that are affected. I have on support group that has 4 members. All Group Notifications that are triggered by ITSM are only being sent to 1 member of the group. I tried removing the individuals from the group. No luck. I verified that all are set up for email notifications. Anybody ever run into a similar issue? I've not been able to find anything on Support Central that has been helpful.

Re: Group Notifications
I checked and we're ok there. I think the key to this issue is that only some of the people in the group are affected. Others still get the Group Notifications. Thanks for the suggestion Marcelo!

Weird behavior with new 9.x Hotfix
We recently installed a hotfix on the midtier to resolve a number of issues. In the process though, it seems to have created havoc with some of our reporting. Specifics first! ARS 9.0.01/ITSM 9.0.01 Mid tier hotfix 9.0.01 201512181241 Windows 2008 r2 servers (3 app servers and 3 mid tier) Apache Tomcat 7.0.62 Java V 8u66 We have a group called "UFMS".

Yep... My thoughts also.

Re: Weird behavior with new 9.x Hotfix
If it is the report, it's an issue with the report tool. These are all "Web" reports that work on the unpatched server, but not the patched. To simplify, I just created a simple report that only has the Assigned Group field. The error is triggered when a user either searches the help desk form for all tickets that are assigned to a group that starts with the letter "U", and then attempts to run the report against the results. The other way to trigger it is to override any embedded search and use the "Show Additional Filter" feature. Pulling back any Help desk tickets that have an assigned group name that starts with "U". I included the .rptdesign file for this. Luckily, BMC has actually seen this behavior already with another customer (for that customer, it is an issue with the company name that beings with "U").

Cry for help! Task Management System
For the last week, I have been trying to find some documentation that actually explains how to go about creating tasks and task group templates. And as usual, I am left with the opinion that the Documentation for Remedy has become an absolute embarrassment! I was able to find (under Change Management) a 19 page document on TMS, but while it extensively explained what I would call the theory behind the process, it did not give instructions on how to actually create these templates. Basically, I have not found a decent piece of documentation that says "Here are the steps you take to create a Task Group". This is the kind of information these fields want. Same for Task Templates. You know A MANUAL! Does anyone know where I might find this information (ARS/ITSM 9.0.01)? It wouldn't surprise me if I have been looking in the wrong place. Anyone else have similar issues with the Documentation Wiki? -- Warren R.

Re: Cry for help! Task Management System
I took a look at the link that Satya sent me, then I went into the 9.0 stream and followed the links, but it just isn't there for 9. Still, I'm pretty sure the 8.x version should give me what I need. My opinion of the BMC documentation is not good. I find it to be poorly written, heavy on theory, but often light on the actual How To.

Pat Zandi
Folks, I wanted to take a few moments and let those of you who are following the list know that Pat Zandi passed away on Monday. Pat had been battling cancer for the last year. He came to work for Dev Technology about a year or so before I did after he retired from the Air Force. He was a great team mate, and a good guy. He will be missed. His obituary can be found here: http://www.colonialfuneralhome.com/home/index.cfm/obituaries/view/fh_id/11079/id/4062535 Warren -- Warren R.

Re: ARS Wikipedia page
I think we can probably assume this is just inline with the decision way back when to not market the ARSystem by itself. Greatest mistake they ever made (IMHO). BMC has turned Remedy ITSM into bloat ware. One of the many reasons so many organizations are making the jump to SNow. I still say ARSystem is the superior platform.

Re: OT: Resumes
LJ, Years ago, in a Galaxy far, far away (The Ohio State University Medical Center) I worked recruitment. I had to go through HUNDREDS of resumes for Nurses, Civil Service People, Allied Health professionals and Research Assistants a day. Needless to say, it gets a bit tedious! The one thing that I would tell people is that you need to create a Resume that will do 2 things. 1. Get past that initial person (this was me) who had to identify potential candidates, but maybe didn't necessarily understand everything that they were reading. For this person, you want to clearly identify your experience, education and motivations. You want to list your degrees, professional certifications and associations. Try not to leave any gaping holes in your time line. Try to keep it to one page, but don't go past 2. 2. Once you are past that first person, you want this resume to also speak to the person who is likely making the decisions on who to bring in. They are going to look for the more technical information. Remember, you can always bring a second resume to the interview that speaks a bit more directly and technically to the manager. My feeling about conversational v. bullet pointsconversational is just harder to digest and tends to run long. Bullet points pull out those items you want to highlight and make them plain to see. The cover letter can be conversational if you wish, but don't get long winded! Just my 2 cents! PSI write the WORST resumes. You would think after 12 years in HR, I would have gotten better at it! 😜 On Fri, Jun 8, 2018 at 10:37 AM, LJ LongWing wrote: > I always find looking at other people's resumes/cv to be > fascinating...there are so many different ways to put together the details > of your skills and work histories.

Re: Replies concerning job postings
Funny story. 10 1/2 years ago...in a moment of anger, I did exactly what David is talking about. Someone posted a listing, and I (without much thought) immediately responded with a question about it. So, of course it went to the entire list! (I was kind of embarrassed and praying that my current employer wasn't aware of the list). About a 1/2 hour later, I received a call from another gentlemen who had seem my question and was wondering if I would like to come work for him In 2 days, I'll be celebrating my 10 year anniversary with Dev Technology! Thanks Mike Campbell!
