saw this..

as far as SLM --   SLM works around the model you have created or installed
(COTS).. so yes SLM works with what ever you ingested

I have not integrated this.

HBSS events normally go to the Enterprise console like McAfee, CounterACT,
RSA Archer, etc..
The console then communicats to the Remedy system via some plugin (theirs
not BMC normally) and injects the ticket.
SIEM also would be another example with BEM/SIM / Patrol, etc..

Vendor specific..
Sometimes BMC does have the connector as well..

As far as I know and seen, Variables (Popped up) is not possible.
the only way is the choose field, =; value in the form under the report
console.
you can create "pre configured reports" and put them out there on the
console as a menu.

There are ways to give them prebuilt Query's in the form as well, which
might help.

NOT RESOLVED:: BMC  prestack out of box install,  UDDI did not work, cause
it was not installed.. 8.1.01  -- so I installed Atrium core 8.1.2 on

figure out what is wrong with it.. they are struggling.. it shows no signs
of being bad except in the logs.

Re: MSSQL server name / Instance name issue

2014-08-05 Thread patrick zandi
I have tried   host,   host\named instancehost\named
instance:0,porthost\named instance,port
host
then instance name

going insane..

I can login with ssms, and I can query db no problem

but the login is as   hostname(or IP)\named instance,port

name-W12-SQL-1\REMEDY,1435
8.1.01  does not like it with or without port (cause port is in the line
below)...

I actually built a server (8 of them) and after installation we had to
change the ar.conf to hostname,port
or they would not run.. I think someone at the Engineering area missed a
step... but this was for a SQL Cluster..
it would let you install, but not bounce..now this one will not let me
install..

Re: MSSQL server name / Instance name issue

2014-08-05 Thread patrick zandi
2012 os, 2012 sql server  (multiple instances) I am using a name instance
called remedy.
Checking... ssms connects fine with the  ip\remedy  in the hostname  or
hostname\remedy which is the named instance name no problem.
logged on to the sql server I see the port 1435 coming in from the ip of
the remedy server (SSMS) not because of remedy install.

shows the format:  but it appears remedy does not follow it?   also the
drop down never works, but I guessed that was another bug.

Re: MSSQL server name / Instance name issue

2014-08-05 Thread patrick zandi
Lets start with the environment:
When logging into MSSQL server management studio I use the following
settings.
Servername : name-w12-sql-1\remedy
instance name : remedy

with sa password and Voila.. no problems.
if I view connection properties it says:
Server name:: name-w12-sql-1/remedy,1435
instance name:: remedy

With 2012 sql server you can create seperate instances within itself.  hope
that makes sense.

Re: MSSQL server name / Instance name issue

2014-08-05 Thread patrick zandi
but if I take the slash out and put it into the instance name it fails as
well.
DB Information:
Hostname or IP :: Hostname IP
instance name : blank --- invalid instance

if
Hostname or IP :: Hostname IP
instance name : remedy
is says "Instance name remedy is not validfor host ip/port "
"Detected the sql server instance name-w12-sql-1\remedy for the host ip
/port 1435 "

It tells you what it should be but cannot accept it..

QQ: MSSQL server name / Instance name issue

2014-08-05 Thread patrick zandi
I am sure I am just missing the obvious today..

Win: 2012 - connecting to an instance of the 2012 sql server
Servername ::  NAME-W12-SQL-1\REMEDY,1435(mssql connection settings)
Instance name :: remedy
SA password it says::

   - The instance name *REMEDY *is not valid for the host *NAME-w12-sql-1*
   /​ port *1435*
   -Detected the SQLServer instance *NAME-W12-SQL-1\​ REMEDY* for the
   host *dtg-w12-sql-1* /​ port *1435*

*So I put in the following::*
 hostname NAME-W12-SQL-1\REMEDY
Instance name : remedy
System installer says:

   - he installer is unable to resolve NAME-w12-sql-1\​REMEDY into an IP
   address.Clients cannot communicate to the Server unless they can resolve
   into an IP address

If I put in the IP address \ REMEDY is says same thing.


I know it is something silly, it must be the fly on my nose (too close).










if I put in NAME-W12-SQL-1  (it says it should be the above)

do I need to create some sort of Alias? like in the /etc/hosts?
or registry? for it to get accepted.

Looks like another Sales deal   head bowing

Duud, if the product does what it suppose to do, it will sell it self.
if the sales is there to convince the Techies a company needs to buy
something.
Well... Wrong Audience Wrong focus... Just go out a buy a Q&A and the the
stinkin sales manager to sit and wait till it is done cooking and when Q&A
is happy, then tell the sales guy Go!  in the meantime sit down and color!
IMHO

Re: Slightly OT: Connecting SQL*Plus client to an Oracle Database..

2014-07-09 Thread patrick zandi
IF you are using the ORACE_RAC we have found some additional settings in
the TNSNAMES.ora need to be applied AND you have some additional settings
you have to modify in the SLM module, due to the fact that remedy wrote the
code to do it static like  name:sid:table  or something like that...

hope that helps some.

you need to set your ORACLE_HOME variable / your ORACLE_SID and your
ORACLE_UNIQUE variable.
then the application should work.

I think we figured it out...
security folks found a vulnerability  with the  " "  in the registry
settings for executable..

Another possible solution for Error 1076:



Go to Registry > HKEY LOCAL MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Services
-> BMC Remedy Action System Server service Check the ImagePath where
amonitor.exe is defined in double quotes "C:\Program Files (x86)\BMC
Software\ARSystem\armonitor.exe"

If this is double-quoted, please remove quotes and restart the ARServer
services.

issue with mssql connections

2014-06-07 Thread patrick zandi
ENV  2008 r2 64 bit server
Server is VM  with ARS 8.1.01.001 actively running fine against a MSSQL
cluster.

All of a sudden all systems stopped working

so we tried a fresh install, and now (after if was working for months) a
bug/error where during the install it creates the instance on the cluster
using a unique port 700 lets say, and then it restarts the ARS application
and starts connecting to 1433 ?
What in the World --- support is almost non resistant.  I opened a Critical
ticket but is is being thrown under the bus.

Any Idea's

Question:  BMC Does not even reference using the mssql client... and is
there a way to tell the application to use the client, just wondering.

8.1.01.001 Patches -- Issue

2014-05-08 Thread patrick zandi
Ran into a issue this week and here is the problem and resolution

Problem ::

ARS 8.1.01 -- attempting to apply ARS patch 001  and it will not work.. it
says no product selected and fails.
It worked on another system...  The P001 SRM, and Atrium did work... however

Solution::
ENV  variable not in system --
BMC_AR_SYSTEM_HOME = PATH-TO-ARSYSTEM folder

Patch runs...

Potential Fix action if this does not work::
Copy ARSystemInstalledConfiguration.xml file from a working server and
replace same file on the non-working server.  Modify the file with the
correct server name entries.  Rerun the installation.

Re: BMC Remedy and Flash

2014-03-19 Thread patrick zandi
Joe help me understand the downtime with a server group scenario.

If you have 3 web servers (which can rotate each out and be patched, os and
application wise - then rotated back in), and have 3 Servers is a server
group (which again be pulled patched, upgraded, OS patched and put back
into group) one at a time..  All the servers in the group are connected to
the SQL Cluster / oracle RAC .. I still see no outages, vice a bomb or
something physical/network related.
DR is the fail over to a completely redundant system in a different
location, where either data replication was going on, or the DSO was turned
to active to a live system, which is the case of the bomb/tornado/911
instance.

licenses question (minimum install) ITSM

2014-02-18 Thread patrick zandi
So we bought ITSM but the install instructions say you need (20 licenses
for each module).
Does that mean that purchasing ITSM you get free 20 licenses?  This must
have been covered before...

Any where would that information be published.

Re: arserverd binding to 0.0.0.0

it apparently does not think it has a nic, or have a default address.  Need
to ensure that the address is up and operational and functioning prior to
install.

Re: [EXTERNAL] reporting methods for ARS 8.1

2014-02-13 Thread patrick zandi
EXACTLY !!! BMC will fall if people cannot use reporting products that are
security compliant, and people have to create their own reporting
solutions. Here at HP we are actually creating all the Query's the BOA
server does but more efficiently: unfortunately it is hand jammed, and not
easily configurable.  -- We have customers who want these auto web based
reporting but BMC cannot keep up "Engineering" wise with SAP (which is a
sad discussion in general), and then give us BIRT 2.5 version -- with no
upward direction or "Engineering" again.  If they are worried about money
and cost of the Engineering then soon they will not have to worry about the
money at all. Security is Paramount, Reporting is for those Bean counters..
and Bean counters come up with the cash. Great discussion.. thanks for the
updates..   By the Way.. what is the deal with spoon?   We are starting to
play..

2014-02-11 Thread patrick zandi
There are 4 strategies for reporting : CR, BOA, Birt, Adhoc that I know of
- an yes I could create my own with a UT Custom.

Of those it appears most are old  and or have security issues - old java::

business objects xi 3.1 crystal reports 2011 -- Requires 2008 Max 32 bit
only, and is old and some newer JAVA versions do not run with it (which
makes it insecure) and at some places they will not allow it to run - due
to security risk (it is really old)

Analytics: while the 7.6.04 version and 8.0 version can be installed you
can only us certain versions of JAVA and some of those are EOL -- or you
pay for extended support. you cannot run dynamic reports either, from the
mid-tier it is a on demand version (login to web client or login to server
and use thick client). You can email and post to sharepoint on a timed
basis.

Birt is using version 2.5 (but newer versions 4.5? I think is out) but BMC
is only compatible with 2.5

Adhoc: yup just a bunch of data points.

BMC : appears weak for either integration or continued reporting with
models that are forward looking and security conscience. CR 2013 is out but
cannot use it.

Am I incorrect in some of these observations?  Could someone tell me that
CR 3.1 is passing their NESSUS scans and JAVA can be 1.7.X or 1.8.X ?  How
about  CR 2013 server -- is there any future that BMC will allow reporting
from this?  How are people handling the WEB and press a button to get
reports?  Birt?

Just asking...

reporting methods for ARS 8.1

2014-02-10 Thread patrick zandi
CR 2008 server (old and most likely not security compliant) -- is there
anything newer that is compatible?

Analytics (that cannot do reports from the web like CR just
email/sharepoint - and login)  and is close to not being security compliant
(JAVA VERSIONS).

BIRT (older version 2.5 -- but not the latest ) Again security problems?

Adhoc (yuk)

Anyone got any good answers?

Re: Oracle to MSSQL

2014-01-17 Thread patrick zandi
There are special indexes to build (we do that for you for all new indexes
and you have to do a cleanup

script to convert any existing indexes to the new type) for indexed
searches to work and with the right
settings of options all other comparison operations work.

Do I request those scripts from BMC or is in the docs and installation
package already?

Re: CMDB 8.1 Status bug?

2014-01-16 Thread patrick zandi
Yeah :: another bug:: do not uninstall the application Web services: (BMC
said too to fix an issue with integrator) -- now we are stuck.

one application (the uninstaller) says the application is not installed,
the installer application says "it is already installed"... so which is
it..
BMC is having major issues around the UDM stuff. with my system.

Re: BO and Analytics

2014-01-07 Thread patrick zandi
I believe they do the same things, however it is who is using the
application that makes the diff...
ANA is basically analytical reporting -- it can email and post to
sharepoint reports.. as well. (nice feature)..
ARS 8.1 can also do the Adhoc, and Bert reports by time as well.. CR is for
reporting with pretty formats.. etc Like ANA but does not email or
sharepoint them.
Also CR can be used on the web for web based reporting as well.
There are alot of minor differences, but with CR developer you can also
just create an RPT and plop it into the report form and anyone can use it
with the usertool.. Crystal reports viewer application (desktop app) can
use it too...
just depends who and for what are you using it.

IMHO

Re: BMC Analytics

2014-01-07 Thread patrick zandi
you mean do comparisons and delta's between to differing types of
systems... not that I know of. (I might be wrong, but I cannot remember
seeing that).

but you could import the CSV file to a form inside remedy ARS and then do
any reporting system can do that. -- just a thought..

Analytics is for like a Analyst wanting specific details.  12K foot level
reporting
If you need heavy reporting, then I would recommend you stick with CR
custom creations (putting them into the report form), or get CR Server...

IMHO

8.1 SP2 == JAVA question

2013-11-27 Thread patrick zandi
Hey'a all
ENV:Solaris 10, Oracle 11.2.0.3

If I run the arsystem on the JAVA 1.5.0_51 and JAVA 1.6.0_43 version all
works great
If I attempt to use the JAVA 1.7.0_45 -- it fails horribly..
with the Errors below : contacted BMC they said it is not compatible with
1.7 ..

YET:: my ars 7.1 P11  will run on 1.7.0_45, and 1.6.0_43, and 1.5.0_51

Almost seems like we are going backward...

1.6.0_ > 43 is paid support now
1.5.0_ >51 is paid support now
--- so you have to have Extended support to get the 8.1 system working to
Oracle.

Is this a Gimmick?   Seems very odd that the latest will not run with the
1.7
1.8 is almost released and is in RC4 I think...

Perl script runs == but not under a run process

2013-11-14 Thread patrick zandi
We suddenly are getting an error never seen before..
this is a long standing peice of code that suddenly for some strange reason
started failing.

Run process /folder/file.pl "xx" "yy"
Perl script runs fine, however the system ARS 7.1 does not appear to run it
anymore.
we added to the filter a command line of   date >> before.txt   date
>> after.txt
before and after dot txt show up.. so we know the filter should have
executed the perl script.

The perl script does an import into the system a .xls file into the
arssystem

Remember the perscript works and has not changed.

AR Fork is showing the process 1 with exit code of 0x0

AR Fork is showing the process 2 with exit code of 0x89

AR Fork is showing the process 3 with exit code of 0x0


any hints out there..

Re: 7.6.04 ver switch from 32 bit to 64 bit

2013-10-11 Thread patrick zandi
I had a thought.. this might be a time to do a server group...
Build a fresh box -- 64bit, add as a server group
Rebuild Original box -- add back in to server group.
Make one the Admin / integration /  Reconcil server  the other main
customer --

no outages, and now you have redundancy / failover

Just a thought.
