Re: Can we call shell script on remote server via AL run process command?

2017-09-25 Thread jham36
I used to use psexec as someone suggested to execute programs on another 
server.  When we upgraded to ARS 9.x, that stopped working.  It has 
something to do with java security.  I was able to get it to work by using 
a powershell script to call the remote executable.
I don't know if you can use that to call something on a unix server though. 
 I am using it to call an exe on another windows box.
I have two functions in my powershell script.  One calls the remote exe and 
waits for a response, the other calls the remote exe and doesn't wait for a 
response.

SSL on Mid Tier with Load Balancer

We are setting up a new 9.1 mid tier server running on windows server 2012. 
 We will use IIS with tomcat and our load balancer will hold the ssl cert.
We contacted support to get all of our ducks in a row before diving in. 
 You all know how that went.
Just looking for advice on iis and tomcat configuration and port settings 
to support this setup.
Anything special we need to do?  I assume we will have to have iis 
listening on port 443.  Should tomcat be listening on 8443?

We use HP UFT (desktop tool) along with the HP ALM server.  I haven't tried

I have given up on running automated tests against my Remedy environment.

Re: Vendor Form to external Oracle Database

Thanks, but I need to update the data in the external database.  I think I 
need a vendor form for this.

My first solution to this was using AIE.  That worked fine, but we are 
migrating to ARS 9.1 with AI and support is not very helpful in telling me 
how to pass a variable into my job/transformation into the ARInput step. 
 They want me to directly query the AR database, which I am not a fan of 
doing since the table and column names may differ between dev and 
production.  Going through the Application server with the ARInput step 
seems like a better solution instead of a TableInput step.

Doublecheck the entry in tnsnames.ora.  Open a command prompt on the remedy

See if it returns OK
Is the alias for the db name or the db server?  If it is for the server, 
make sure you can ping the alias name.  You may need to have your DNS 
server updated as well.

Re: Call AI job from workflow?

I have a job and a transformation that I migrated over from AIE.  Creating 
entries for parameters in the UDM forms will not work in my case.  I need 
to pass a different PKE each time it runs.  I know how to do that now with 
kitchen.bat using  /param:MyParam=Value
What I can't figure out is how to use that variable in my

Re: Call AI job from workflow?

2016-02-24 Thread jham36
Has this been figured out?  I opened a ticket with support on this.  With 
AIE I would call aiexfer.exe and pass my variables there and it would 
create an entry in Application Pending and only process the single record I 
wanted.
Support is telling me to use this command for AI:

cd C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\diserver\data-integration 
kitchen.bat /level:Basic /server:W-SSARKATE-67 /port:0 /user:Demo 
/pass:Demo /job:Test_job1 /dir:/ > C:\Test\trans.log


What they failed to tell me is how to pass in a PKE ID and if I need to add 
anything into the transformation to make use of the parameter/variable.  In 
AIE it just worked.

 I've done it, though my memory is fuzzy on the details.  Basically, 
 when you schedule your AI job, it creates a record in a form.  The form 
 name depends on the version of AI, but it's in the docs.

The paexec.exe is being called by both the AL and the Escalation.  It just 
isn't working the same as it does on my 7.5 server.  Paexec creates the 
remote process and the command is run on the remote machine, but it doesn't 
remove the remote process and doesn't return the value.
It works if I run it from a command line and call the exe on the remote 
server.

 Hello all, 

 A few months ago I posted an issue about running psexec from Remedy and 
 got some good help.  I ended up using paexec which is able to get the 
 console output from the remote process and return it directly into remedy. 
 I am currently on ARS 7.5 and upgrading to ARS 9 and doing some testing on 
 the new servers.  What I have is an Active Link doing a set fields 
 $PROCESS$ @@:$StatusCommand$ $Test Set Name$ 
 I am getting values from fields on the form to use in the Process command. 
  The path to paexec.exe plus parameters and the remote exe name and 
 parameters. 

 D:\QCInt\PAExec\paexec.exe \\servername -u domain\User -p Password 
 C:\User\QCInt\RunTestSet\RunTestSet.exe -ss Demo_Process 

 I didn't have to call cmd.exe or comspec or anything special. 

 This works fine with my ARS 7.5 system and I get the return value into 
 Remedy. 
 On my new ARS 9 system, the remote process is executed, but I do not get 
 the return value and the paexec process as well as the remote temporary 
 paexec service do not exit. 
 When I run the same command from a command line on the new remedy server, 
 it works just fine. 
 It seems that something has changed in how the $PROCESS$ command works. 

 Any ideas? 

 Thanks, 
 James

Remedy 9 PROCESS command

2015-08-20 Thread jham36
Hello all,

A few months ago I posted an issue about running psexec from Remedy and got 
some good help.  I ended up using paexec which is able to get the console 
output from the remote process and return it directly into remedy.
I am currently on ARS 7.5 and upgrading to ARS 9 and doing some testing on 
the new servers.  What I have is an Active Link doing a set fields 
$PROCESS$ @@:$StatusCommand$ $Test Set Name$
I am getting values from fields on the form to use in the Process command. 
 The path to paexec.exe plus parameters and the remote exe name and 
parameters.

D:\QCInt\PAExec\paexec.exe \\servername -u domain\User -p Password 
C:\User\QCInt\RunTestSet\RunTestSet.exe -ss Demo_Process

I didn't have to call cmd.exe or comspec or anything special.

This works fine with my ARS 7.5 system and I get the return value into 
Remedy.
On my new ARS 9 system, the remote process is executed, but I do not get 
the return value and the paexec process as well as the remote temporary 
paexec service do not exit.
When I run the same command from a command line on the new remedy server, 
it works just fine.
It seems that something has changed in how the $PROCESS$ command works.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
James

Error installing Atrium Core Patch 8.1.0.2

2015-03-24 Thread jham36
Hello all,

We are setting up a new production environment.  ARSystem, ITSM and Attrium 
Core are all installed.  When we try to install the patch for Attrium Core, 
we get an error.
LOG EVENT {Description=[SET PROPERTY 
VALIDATION_ERROR_RESULT],Detail=[INVALID_AR_INSTALLATION_NOT_FOUND]}

I would think that NOT finding an invalid install would be a good thing, 
but apparently not in this case. So... the atrium patch installer cannot 
find our AR install even though it had no problems finding the arcache.exe 
within the AR install directory a few lines above this error.

Support has sent us new ARSystemInstalledConfiguration.xml and 
AtriumCoreInstalledConfiguration.xml files that have not helped.  I have 
verified that the BMC_AR_SYSTEM_HOME path is set correctly.

We are on Windows 2008 SP2 server
Oracle 11gR2 db.

Thanks,
James

Running PSEXEC from Remedy

2015-03-20 Thread jham36
Hello all.  I am trying to execute a set fields action with a process 
command.  We have built a console in remedy for our users to be able to 
execute some remote automation that they normally would not have access to. 
 Currently this works fine when the controlling process is run on our 
Remedy server.
My problem is that I do not want this process running on the remedy server. 
 In some cases it runs for an hour, in others it can run for days depending 
on what the automation is doing.
I want to offload this process to another server.  I have successfully 
tested this by using a few vbscripts that write a file out to the remote 
server that gets picked up by another process and executes the command and 
writes out the results to another file to be picked up and returned to 
remedy.
With the set fields command, I am not always expecting a return value for 
the process.  If the command is to get the status, or to see if a vm is 
available to run the process, I want a return value. When running the 
automation, I don't need a return value.
That all may be a bit confusing but isn't really too important with regards 
to my issue.
Besides my working test with writing out text files and multiple vbscripts, 
I am also exploring using psexec which would require one vbscript to 
execute since i need to write out a text file in order to get the stdout. 
 Another option is a program called paexec, which is almost identical to 
psexec, except that the stdout is returned without needing to write out a 
text file.
My issue is that when I have the Process command run from remedy, it runs 
my vbscript on my remedy server, but the paexec does not seem to run.  When 
I try with psexec, it executes, but hangs and does not connect to the 
remote machine.  Executing my vbscript from a command line works fine for 
both psexec and paexec.  If I replace the paexec or psexec command in my 
vbscript with hostname, it returns the hostname of my server to remedy.
I'm thinking that the psexec or paexec are not getting network access when 
remedy is running the vbscript that calls these programs.
I was also considering trying to call the paexec program directly in the 
Process command, but remedy throws an error.
$PROCESS$ @@:D:\QCInt\Test\paexec.exe \\remotesrvname 
C:\User\QCInt\RunTestSet\RunTestSet.exe -ss Process2Run

Any ideas on the programs seemingly not having network access when remedy 
executes the vbscript or remedy throwing an error when I forgo the script 
and run the command directly?

Thanks,
James

Re: Running PSEXEC from Remedy

2015-03-20 Thread jham36
Our Remedy service is starting as System.  That service runs armonitor, 
which I guess runs all the other related remedy processes including 
ARserver.
Since I am working on DEV, I can try and have that startup as a named 
generic account that we use to login to the remedy server with.

Thanks,

 One problem that most people end up experiencing at one point or another 
 is that their Remedy server is not running as the same user they are using 
 to 'test' when remoted in.  If Remedy is not 'running as' the user that you 
 are remoted into the server as, then it's not running with the same 
 permissions/environment.  So, if not already doing so, have the Remedy 
 service run as the same user you are testing with and you may find that the 
 problems go away.

Are these new fields that were added to the external data store after you 
first setup the exchange?  If so, remedy does not know these exist.  You 
need to run an executable from the server in order to update remedy with 
these fields.
Check the documentation for rlohelper.exe  There may be 
different executables for SQL and Oracle databases.
I created a bat file on my server for this with prompts for database name,

Thanks Frank.  That seems to work.
The next hurdle is to only save the attachment if the attachment name meets 
certain criteria.  I am thinking that I can get the attachment into the new 
display only attachment field, then do a set field action to a character 
field.  That should give me the name of the attachment.  Then the next AL 
will fire if the attachment name LIKE %SomeName%
Using the LIKE operator directly against the attachment field doesn't seem 
to work.

Re: Computed Group

2011-01-07 Thread jham36
From the documentation:
Computed groups—Explicit groups that you create and to which users are
assigned based on the memberships of explicit groups included in an
expression. For example, you can create a computed group definition
such as (A
AND B) OR C AND NOT D. This computed group includes the list of users
who
are members of both groups A and B, or members of group C, but not
members
of group D.
Computed groups make groups easier to manage. You can manage your
users
in a limited number of regular groups, and use computed groups based
on these
regular groups for more complex access control without the need to
make
changes in multiple groups.


I use computed groups in conjunction with roles for an application
that requires multiple groups for security.  The main role is mapped
to a computed group.  This main role is given access to the
application.  I then create all the security groups I need.  The
computed group contains all of these security groups.  The security
groups are mapped to roles to be used in the application.  When a user
needs to be given access to the app with certain security, I only need
to add them to one group.  They are automatically added to the
computed group and given access to the app and have the security of
the group they were added to.  You only need to use roles and map them
to groups when you are working with applications.
I hope that makes sense.

Re: SQL equivalent of DISTINCT in Remedy

 Hello,

 I have a table field that represents a view form. Now, I need to get only 
 unique rows in that table.

 The problem is for a particular ID(on view form) there could be multiple 
 email addresses and I want to get DISTINCT email in table field before 
 walking through it and extracting required infor. I dont see any option 
 available under Table/Tree Property for doing this.

 In a nutshell, here's scenario.
 1. View form pointing to an external DB that holds multiple email addresses 
 as separate rows for a particular ID(this ID is different from primary key of 
 table).
 2. A table field that queries this view form with qualification: $ID$='ID'.
 3. Now, this returns a result set that has multiple rows in it with column 
 name of NAME,EMAIL.
     I can do table walk and get required information, but how do I 
 extract only unique rows?

 e.g. if result set is as below
 ID   NAME  EMAIL   SOME OTHER COLUMN
   1      A   X Z
   1      B   Y Z
   1      A   X  P

 how can I refine it to just A-X, B-Y? Regardless of value in SOME OTHER 
 COLUMN, I need to use only A-X,B-Y.

 Basically, I am looking for SQL equivalent of DISTINCT in Remedy that can be 
 used with Table Field qual.

 Any help is appreciated.

Re: ARERR 92 Server Timeout During Database Update

2010-07-12 Thread jham36
Is this a production environment?  I see this error if I make a change
to Prod sometimes.  In our dev environment we have Dev Cache Mode
turned on.
What is probably happening is that the change is submitted to the
database and then there is a timeout in the admin tool while waiting
for the server to re cache everything.
If you close your workflow and re-open it after this error, you should
see that it was updated properly.

 If the site will be different for all of these people, the best thing to
 do (from my experience) is to run an AR report including the People ID
 (field 1) and report out to a .csv file. This should include the 10,000
 users. You can then add a column for 'Site+' on the .csv and update it
 with information from your Site form (The values need to exist on the
 Site form before you proceed). Then you would just use the import tool
 to import back that .csv file. Just make sure in Preferences you select
 Update old record... Make sure you map Field ID 1 (People ID).

 Of course, try it in a dev environment first. Good luck!

Re: Remedy 7.5 Installation Time

2010-06-23 Thread jham36
I did an upgrade of ARS 7.1 to 7.5 the other day.  ARS and Attrium
Core, not ITSM, no SLM.  We stayed with ITSM 7.0.3 and installed the
compatibility patch for that.
This was our dev box in prep for our prod upgrade in 2 weeks.
It is a 32 bit OS running as a VM.
2 processors and 8 gig of RAM (not all used on a 32 bit windows 2003
server)
Remote Oracle 10G database.

The upgrade took us 6 and a half hours.
I would suspect that our Production upgrade will be slightly quicker.
Our prod box is a dual quad core with 16 GB RAM and a remote oracle

Hope this helps.

Re: {Remedy ARS} Jakarta redirector...

2010-05-17 Thread jham36
The Remedy mid-Tier install includes Tomcat and the Asapi redirector
(If you choose the tomcat option during install).  I would suggest
using what comes bundled with the install to ensure that it is
compatible.

Re: {Remedy ARS} Re: Windows UserID

2010-05-07 Thread jham36
Why not include the requested info in the survey url?  Or just the
incident ID?  I don't feel like looking up the documentation, but you
can set a field value through the url something like F%fieldid%=
$IncidentID$
Having the incident id can allow you to use workflow to pull in any
info you want from the incident.

 The other Java function I use is to get the IP (put it in the same .jsp file).

 Hi,

 I am stuck at this requirement and was wondering if this is feasible to 
 implement:

 1) When an Incident is resolved, an email goes to the customer to submit a 
 survey, with a survey link.
 2) The link opens the survey form in the brower without the user 
 authenticating in the midtier. A surver-user with a restricted read license 
 is created for this purpose which allows multiple people from multiple 
 locations to submit the survey.
 3) There is a submit button on this survey form.
 4) When the user clicks on submit button, it is required that, his Windows 
 User ID be captured in one of the fields.
 ___

 Solutions implemented that did not work:
 1)
 Create a little Java function in a .jsp file and put it in your shared
 folder on your Midtier:

 Name the file something like /arsys/shared/get_remote_user.jsp.

 get_remote_user.jsp contains:

 function env_ip_var()
 {
 var return_value = %=request.getRemoteUser()%;
 return (return_value)

 }

 In the Web Header content of the form you want to capture this on,
 add...

 SCRIPT src=/arsys/shared/get_remote_user.jsp
 language=JavaScript/SCRIPT

 To set a field with the data from the JavaScript functions do the
 following in an active link...

 Run Process Command Line:
 javascript:window.F().DoSet(env_hostname());

 Be sure to change  with the field ID of the field you want to
 set.

 This did not work, function env_ip_var returns null.

 
 Solution 2:

 A set fields actions in an active link:
 $PROCESS$ CMD /C set username

 This worked only in user tool. However this functionality is required for web.

 Good day fellow listers!

 Since implementing Remedy many years ago we have been running Mid-tier

 we implemented SRM last year there has been a tremendous increase in
 traffice and I am now ready to entertain the idea of moving mid-tier to
 its own server.

 My biggest concern with the move is the impact it will have on SRM.  I'm
 wondering if the change is as simple as installing mid-tier on a new
 server, then updating the mid-tier web path in the server config?  Are
 there any other gotchas I should be aware of?

Find Known Errors that are NOT related to a Change

I am trying to figure out how to find Known Errors that are not
associated to a Change request.  We are using Known Errors to track
bugs and enhancements to in-house software.  We associate corrected
KEs to change requests as a Release.  I am trying to find KEs that are
not associated to a change (release) to make sure that they are

I can easily find which ones are associated to a change by looking at

 You could easily do this using a join form between PBM:Known Error and

 Error ID field and Request ID02 fields to the form.
 When you do a search, it will show a record for each Known Error record.  If 
 there is a match in the associations table, it will also bring that 
 information in as well.  If there is no match, then any fields from the 
 associations table that you put on the join form (Request ID02 in this case) 
 will be NULL.  So to find all Known Errors that don't have a corresponding 
 change, just search for all the records in the join form where one of the 
 association fields (Request ID02) is $NULL$.  That will show all Known Errors 
 that don't have a corresponding relationship record to a Change.

 I'm not sure if you're trying to show this info in a report or in a form, but 
 basically you want to compare records in PBM:Known Error against PBM:Known 
 error Associations.  Then search against Request ID02 where it does not match 
 Known Error ID and Request Type equals Infrastructure Change.

Re: Is there any difference in the Set Fields and Push Field actions of Activelink and Filter?

2010-03-09 Thread jham36
Filters run server side and Active Links run on the client.
Push Fields pushes data to another form.
Set Fields sets data on the current form.  The data can come from
another form.

 Push action on active link or filter do the same thing.

Re: Help with runmacro.exe

2010-02-09 Thread jham36
You need to record a macro in the user tool.  When recording the
macro, you will perform your search and go all the way through
selecting your predefined report and exporting to csv.
The macro records the report criteria, so technically the report file
is no longer needed.  Check the documentation Integrating-710.pdf
page 202

You can use runmacro with the -o option to use the arcopy syntax,
which copies
the output to a file:
runmacro -o output_file_name [{-x server} ...] -U user]
[-P password] [{ -f | -s} form] [-t {arx|csv|xml}]
[-Q internal_qualification_format]
[-q client_tool_qualification_format]
[-Z internal_format_qualification_file_name]
[-z client_tool_format_qualification_file_name]
[{-w | -W } external_authentication_string] [-a port_number]
When you use the -o option to export data with attachments, the
attachments
folder is created in the same directory as the export file. The
attachments folder
name uses an integer time stamp (for example, 917732184), and the
folder location
is specified in the output file name of the runmacro command.
When creating macros, you can record a login with the proper
permissions if you
perform actions that require those permissions (for example, an
administrator
deleting records). If your macro does not record a login, you must
specify login
information using the -U option and the -P option (if necessary).

 Gian,

 I cleaned out all references to My Company on my servers, but if I recall 
 correctly, wasn't there a space between My and Company (My Company vs. 
 MyCompany)?  That may be why your filter isn't firing.  Also, get rid of 
 the TR values.

 To check if assignment has changed:
         'Assigned Group' != 'DB.Assigned Group'
 To check if the status has changed:
         'Status' != 'DB.Status'
 And the status is currently Assigned
         'Status' = Assigned
 Putting it all together:
         (('Status' != 'DB.Status' OR 'Assigned Group' != 'DB.Assigned 
 Group')) AND 'Status' = Assigned AND 'Company' = My Company

 You state that you want an email to go out when a ticket is assigned to a 
 group.  So something to consider is that maybe the Status isn't relevant to 
 the requirement.  It would simplify the qualification:
         'Assigned Group' != 'DB.Assigned Group' AND 'Company' = My Company

Re: RPC Timeout Errors

2010-02-05 Thread jham36
Don't put a production server in Dev Cache mode.  Read the guides to
get an explanation on the server modes.
My take on it is that Dev Cache mode gives priority to development.
If you do this on a production server, the devs will see performance
improvement, but the system users will take a huge hit and may end up
getting errors.
With Dev Cache mode OFF, every dev tool or admin tool save causes a
refresh of the server cache.  A copy of the cache is made, then it is
rebuilt.  This allows the users to work without much impact.
My guess is that one dev is making a change and saves.  Another dev
makes a change and tries to save while the server is re-caching.  That
would explain the time out errors.

James

On Feb 5, 2:52 pm, Leonard Neely - FOJ lne...@focusonjobs.com wrote:
 The behavior that you describe is typical when multiple developers are on
 the system, and the server is not in Development Cache Mode, as activity in
 DT form multiple developers will all contend for the single Admin thread.
 This is also why you don't really see the issue in the User Tool while
 performing functions (e.g. Searches, Updates, Etc.) that don't use the Admin
 thread.  If multiple developers will be working on the server, then
 Development Cache Mode is pretty much a MUST.

 Funny thing about the timeout errors is that through the User Tool people
 can search and update records during the same time that the developer tool
 is timing out.  I know that there should not be development and data updates
 going on at the same time but we were testing to see if it was an issue
 across the board or just with developer tool.

 Further troubleshooting shows that if 1 developer saves an object through DT
 then the CPU spikes and holds around 90%. If a second developer saves an
 object at the same time then he/ she receives RPC Timeout.

 You can configure it from:

 I would suggest you to kindly adopt some other performance improvement tips
 as well Like:

 -Increase the Next ID size
 -Create Private Queues
 -Improve network performance, increasing N/W bandwidth.
 -Increase H/W and S/w configuration as well etc.

 -Check whether any escation running on that time which are updating

 If you wil get te solution then please inform the list also bcoz generally

Re: Server Information

2010-01-26 Thread jham36
I don't have recommended numbers for these.  I know there is a
performance tuning guide you could look at from the support site.  It
might be a whitepaper.  I suggest you download the documentation for
the products you are using.  I am assuming you have a valid support
contract.

Max Entries Returned by GetList:
Limits how many database entries are returned from a search. For
example, setting the
maximum entries to 50 would return a maximum of 50 entries, even if
more entries
satisfied the search qualification. The AR System warns users that the
search matched
more entries than the administrator allows to be retrieved. If users
specify a maximum
in their preferences, the lesser of these two values is used. A value
of zero (0) specifies
no limit (the default).


Server Table Field Chunk Size:
For server-side table fields, this number determines the number of
entries (or size of
the chunk) that the server retrieves at one time from the database and
stores inmemory
to process during filter or filter guide actions. The server then
retrieves, stores,
and processes the next chunk until all the rows have been processed.
Entering a value
of zero (0) causes the server to retrieve an unlimited number of rows.
The default is
1000 rows.
Entering a low value in this field causes the server to process
smaller chunks, which
keeps the server memory usage down, but results in slower processing
because the
server needs to access the database many times, especially for large
tables. Entering a
high value causes the server to retrieve and process large chunks of
data and access the
database fewer times. This results in higher performance at the cost
of memory use.

 record for each one?

 If that's the case, the group memberships of people are stored in the 
 CTM:Support Group Association form.  In principle, you should be able to 
 create a table that references this form, filtering on the support group 
 name, that you can run a filter guide on to iterate over all the records in 
 the table.  You can then create an individual notification record for each 
 row in the table.

 Does that address what you're trying to do?

 Otherwise, the OOTB workflow handles group notifications a little differently 
 than individual notifications.  Individual notifications (e.g., Customer, 
 Assignee, etc.) are processed immediately - so you'll immediately see the 
 notification record for that individual when you perform an action on a 
 record that generates a notification.  However, for group notifications, it 
 does it in two steps.  First it creates an initial entry for the group, and 
 then an escalation (maybe SYS:NPC:IM1-TriggerGroupNTG) takes care of 
 processing the group notifications to generate the individual notifications.  
 That may be why you weren't seeing it in your log files - if you didn't wait 
 long enough, the escalation may not have fired before you turned off logging.

 Sorry for not providing more detail - I'm trying to be quick writing this 
 while hoping that the general information will help steer you in the right 
 direction.  If any of this doesn't make sense, let me know.

 Group,

 We have created some custom workflow and notifications outside of the

 We want to take advantage of the user notification preferences as part
 of this.  I turned logging on for the ootb notification process.  I
 see that for group notifications, a notify record is created for each

 the notification should be sent.
 For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to create a record for

 I looked over the log file for longer than I want to admit.  I cannot

 Not sure about change, but the theory is correct.

 Create a new notification template in sys:notification messages

 Create two filters in the 800 range (at least that's the number used in 
 incident) against the Change form. One looks up to see if the template and 
 notification event exists (for the expedited and emergency changes only) and 
 the other writes the data to nte:sys-nt process control. The rest should just

 Hello All,
 I am working on implementing new notifications for change management. The 
 purpose of the notification would be alert the change mgmt team when an 
 emergency or expedited change is entered into the system.
 From what I've seen, it looks like I have to create a new notification event 
 on many of the NTE forms, is this correct? The forms I've identified are the 
 following:
 NTE:CFG-Notification Events
 NTE:LoadCFGNotificationEvents
 NTE:Notifier
 NTE:Notifier Log
 NTE:SYS-Define NT Events
 NTE:SYS-Group NT Control
 NTE:SYS-Individual NT Control
 NTE:SYS-NT Process Control

 Additionally, I have to create 2 filters. One filter to set a value when the 
 change is expedited or emergency. The second filter reads the value and calls 
 the notification process.

 Also, I have to create a new notification message in SYS:Notification 
 Messages that the notification process will use for sending the emails.

 Can someone verify that my theory is correct?

 Thank you,

Here is one obvious one that I am sure you did, but the only thing I
can think of: Close all instances of the User Tool that you are logged

Without a restart, the tool does not know that new objects are there.
This would only help you if you had the user tool running while
installing the software.

Re: ARS 7.5 Installer

I did some testing with the 7.5 patch 001 WUT installer.  Since we
have installed the 7.1 WUT to c:\program files\Remedy, I was looking
to be able to upgrade/update the existing install.  The installer,
both manual and scripted, allow you to specify an installation
directory.  What you DO NOT have the option of omitting is the User
sub-directory that is appended and installed to.  So, if I tell the
7.5 installer to install the WUT to c:\program files\Remedy (to
upgrade the existing install), it will install to c:\program files
\Remedy\User and leave me with both the 7.1 and 7.5 installs.  I have
not tested with the 7.5 patch 003 installer yet, but I would assume it
behaves the same way.  This is going to be an issue for us when we

 the installer issued a drop command for the database (normal behavior), and

 RANT

 Is it just me, or are any of you having problems with the new ARS 7.5 
 monolithic installer?  It is an all or nothing kind of approach that makes 
 upgrades and repairs a lot more hazardous and unreliable since you can no 
 longer work on just the one problem service (AREmail is the primary culprit 
 here) without running an install against the entire ARS system.  In 7.1 and 
 earlier we have always had trouble with the AREmail module - it is one of the 
 services that seldom upgraded correctly, usually losing its ability to 
 connect to MAPI properly and requiring you to uninstall it, wipe all traces 
 of it from the file system and registry, and reinstall it.  I haven't figured 
 out any way to do that with the monolithic suite installer without touching 
 the entire installation.  Someone somewhere must have thought that a single 
 suite installer would be simpler to work with, but in practice it makes a 
 nightmare out of troubleshooting and reinstalling a particular problem 
 service (and AREMail after 4.x has always been a problem service - witness 
 the open issue I have had with our production AREmail system crashing on 7.1 
 since June 2008, still unresolved).  It also means that any run of the 
 installer takes WAY longer since you have to go through every dialog even 
 though 90% are irrelevant to what you want to do, and reenter passwords all 
 along the way for things you didn't need to work on, or now they will STOP 
 working.  The suite installer might make sense for a new install of a fresh 
 system - ONCE.  After that, you still need individual service 
 uninstall-reinstall capability.

 Part of my frustration is from trying to troubleshoot two 7.5 systems, one 
 upgraded from 7.1 and one a fresh install, neither of which can successfully 
 run the AREmail service and send out mail.

 The same complaint applies when working on a web server, but you are 
 generally in a more limited environment with only mid-tier and flashboards 
 installed.  Upgrading the 7.x mid-tier by installer historically trashes your 
 integration to crystal reports, making it necessary to uninstall it and 
 install a fresh instance in order to get it working again.  The monolithic 
 installer gets in the way here too, just not as much (and not as high-risk) 
 because only mid-tier and flashboards are typically on the web server.

 /RANT

 BTW, the 7.5 installer still prompts for account, password, and domain for 
 Email like it always did (5.x, 6.x, 7.0, 7.1), but no longer concatenates 
 domain\account to use when creating the Remedy Email Engine service (so it 
 fails to do so in our environment).   You have to enter the account in the 
 form domain\account in order for the 

No Such Field ID error when loading custom form

2009-10-28 Thread jham36
I am getting a strange error message when opening a custom form.  No
Such Field ID.  The error comes from Internet Explorer.  Behind that
message is another error stating that there was an Internet Explorer
script error.  This form has a vertical nav bar and some flashboards,
tables and character fields.  It is a display only console type form.
I was originally getting this error on an earlier version of this
custom form that had no flashboards.  I figured that a new form would
eliminate the error.  All fields on the new version of the form were
created new.  To make things worse (or better, I'm not sure), the
error is not reproducible.  It seems to happen randomly.  I may get it
two days in a row, then not see it for a week.  I compared the
referenced html file from when I get the error to one that is created
when there is no error.  They are identical and do not have anywhere
near the 425 lines that the error shows.  What the html file shows is
the nav bar menu items.  The only way to get control back of the user
Tool is to go to task manager and kill the aruser.exe process. Support
has been unable to help so far.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

 The quick installation guide is located on the BMC Support Web as well as the

 You will need a current support contract to access the necessary areas on the

Re: Active link that works in the user tool not working on Mid-tier

2009-09-22 Thread jham36
If you are using the $Groups$ keyword, you may need to use $\GROUPS$
instead.  this will prevent it from being parsed until it is needed.
I am assuming 'Group List' is a field on your form, or are you looking
at the User Form?
ALso try this:
( 'Group List' LIKE  % + 486 + % ) AND ( 'Full Name' LIKE
( $Short Description$ +  % ))

It seems like the system supports it if you created it using the Admin

  The 2nd action in the filter is to empty the field, so by the time the phase

 Good morning,
  
 After a few weeks of struggling to get in contact with someone (I escalated 
 this to upper I.T. management to see if they would fare any better) today we 
 discovered that our BMC sales rep is no longer with the company.  Nobody 
 notified us, his emails just
 bounced back, his phone numbers gave errors, and there was no indication that 
 we no longer had a sales rep.
  
 Is this a common occurrence with BMC now?  Based on the difficulties we’ve 
 had dealing with BMC both from the training side, the support side and now 
 from the sales side, I’m wondering what the future is of the company.  I 
 haven’t heard any rumors of either
 BMC being looked at for a purchase by a larger company or of BMC looking to 
 sell off Remedy, but they don’t seem to be acting like a company that seeks 
 to grow their software sales or maintain existing customers. 
  
 Is my company the only one having these types of issues or is this a 
 widespread problem?
  
 Oh, and a P.S. – Despite these problems, some vendors are even worse.  There 
 is another application I support where the tickets are closed out without the 
 vendor ever even responding to me, and where it appears they lost any record 
 of us paying them for
 support.  I know there is much worse than what BMC is doing right now, but 
 the Remedy suite is my bread and butter and I want to see it grow rather than 
 decline due to bad corporate decisions.
  
 Thanks,

 Subject: Re: Encouraging Float License Users to Log Off When Inactive

 I have often wondered if you could.

 Create an active link (on interval) that prompts the user for a kind
 of session timeout. Say every hour with a dialog asking: Are you
 still there?. (with yes/no buttons) Then have a second on interval
 active link on the dialog that would timeout the dialog in 30 seconds.

 If the 30 second timeout Active Link gets to run then the No button is
 pushed.

 If the No button is pushed then this happens.

 1) Send an Event to all open forms and have workflow clear the change
 flag on all windows.
 2) log the user out with the Special Run Process PERFORM-ACTION-EXIT-APP

 If the Yes button is pushed then this happens.

 1) close the dialog.

 Now this could be more fancy if you want to also have a display only
 Date/Time field where other workflow keeps updating the timestamp in
 the field and the session timeout active link could run more
 frequently than every 30 minutes too. (Then it could look to see if
 the field's value is = ($TIMESTAMP $ - 3600) and have an accuracy of
 say.. 5 minutes+/- instead of prompting every 30 minutes regardless of
 activity.) And obviously you would need to decide what is enough
 activity to trigger the update of the timestamp value by adding a set
 field action to the (hopefully already existing) active links that the
 user is triggering.

 It seems like it should work in my head.
 Has anyone tried to implement this (or something like it) as a
 possible solution?

 James,

 Did you attempt to startup the server with the startup logs turned on? You 
 will need to add the -t switch to the startup in the armonitor.conf file and 
 restart the server. Add -t just before the -i switch so it should read like:

 InstallDir\arserver.exe -t -i etc etc etc...

 The startup logs that will be then generated in the bin directory of the AR 
 System installation may tell you where the startup crashes.. I am not sure if 
 this is documented on the current releases but this used to be an 
 undocumented feature.

 Remove the -t flag later when you do not require it..

 Having got the startup log you will know at what point the server crashes..

 Cheers

 Listers,

 I upgraded our test environment from ARS 7.5 patch 1 to 7.5 patch 2 last 
 week.  The installer failed when trying to restart the arserver towards the 
 end of the install.  The only error I can see in the armonitor log file is:
 Failure occurred during execl() (ARERR 33)

 The install log does not show any errors until it fails to restart the server.
 I have verified that the armonitor.cfg file looks correct and even restored a 
 backup copy just to make sure.
 Support has been unable to make any progress on this issue.

 Thanks,
