Re: OT: What was the first ARS app you built?

2014-11-14 Thread Joe Castleman
I can't recall the first app that I built -- I inherited several on the
same system which I had already been using as a help desk agent.

Our call center signed up one ISP after another as clients, and they each
needed a Remedy app.  (They weren't ISPs, per se -- this was back in
dial-up days and they were reselling ISP service as some MLM tool.  Our
sales force apparently kept going after them.)  After I had done 3 or 4 of
these, I finally made a boilerplate app, so when the project manager said
that we were supporting a new ISP starting tomorrow, I could make edits
directly in the DEF file and have a new app in an hour or less.  (However,
it seemed that the urgency with which these needed to go into production
strongly correlated with the likelihood that the project never actually
went live at all.)

Weirdest app I built was so our call center could take calls from a wealthy
family, e.g. the children reporting that an appliance was broken.  We'd log
a ticket and dispatch the household staff.

It was a bit of a culture shock when I changed companies, and went from
supporting corporate clients to government clients.  When dealing with the
former there was very little (if anything) in the way of documentation or
change management.

Currently I work with an all-custom AR system -- and for that I am
extremely grateful. Although some of the schemas are 20 years old, which
means Remedy was still fairly new when they started.

Happy Friday,

Joe Castleman

 The very nature of custom means — if you are not happy - you do something
 about it.
 Therefore - movement towards happy.

 There is a lot of old code still in use that we as n00bs created before we

Hi,

On the different side I recall a Feed The Fish application.

The Sales department got a goldfish bowl and had problems remembering to feed
the fish. The application required that you signed off on feeding the fish,
and if this was not done the Sales Department got notified, followed by the
Sales Manager and finally the CEO :-)

The CEO had me turn the notifications off eventually, and some time later the
fish died :-(

Another one was the Day Labourers as Garbage Collectors application. The
single person using the application called each of the Garbage Collector
Companies each day to understand their need for the following day, including
blacklisting of individuals if something did not work out. It produced salary
reports and invoices for some 50 people, and was written in 16 hours. They
used a server with flat file database in Demo mode, which meant a limit of
the flat file size for each form. I went there once a year to clear out
records so they could continue their work.

The first thing I built at a customer site in 1995 was a call centre telephony
integration which tracked who was logged in to the switch and who was logged
in to Remedy.

It included screen-pop on incoming calls, answer-button, signing in/out of the
switch and a list of logged in users and their status.

 I thought I would start a side topic from the how fast could that be?
 thread.  We have seen more and more out of the box ITSM installs in
 recent years and custom development appears to be less prevalent.  Many of
 us started out building anything and everything under the sun.

 For me, I had just switch from working in an aerospace fabrication shop to
 my first IT job at a help desk.  About 6 months in I became very interested
 in what else Remedy could do.  As I learned more about what Remedy could do
 I really wished we would of had it at the job I had left.

 So with that my first app was one geared around running a fab shop.  The
 app tracked customers, jobs/parts, equipment and staff.  It could associate
 what machine a part is in and who is working on it.  Also it could show the
 status of a machine so planners didn't schedule a job in a machine that was
 down for maintenance.  Also you could not schedule machinists to a job if
 they were on vacation.

 It probably also had things like an email to the worker when a job/part was
 assigned to them.  I have been trying to find the definition in recent
 years.  I am sure I would get a kick out of how I built things back then.

My first app was a rebuild of a custom HelpDesk we used internallyit was on 
3.2...had tons of bells and whistles and did many things that tons of systems 
I've worked on since didn't do...was a healthy team and experience to start off 
my Remedy career...wow, it's been a long time.

 We have seen more and more out of the box ITSM installs in recent years and 
custom development appears to be less prevalent.  Many of us started out 
building anything and everything under the sun.

For me, I had just switch from working in an aerospace fabrication shop to my 
first IT job at a help desk.  About 6 months in I became very interested in 
what else Remedy could do.  As I learned more about what Remedy could do I 
really wished we would of had it at the job I had left.

So with that my first app was one geared around running a fab shop.  The app 
tracked customers, jobs/parts, equipment and staff.  It could associate what 
machine a part is in and who is working on it.  Also it could show the status 
of a machine so planners didn't schedule a job in a machine that was down for 
maintenance.  Also you could not schedule machinists to a job if they were on 
vacation.

It probably also had things like an email to the worker when a job/part was 
assigned to them.  I have been trying to find the definition in recent years.  
I am sure I would get a kick out of how I built things back then.

OT: What was the first ARS app you built?

2014-11-12 Thread Joel Sender
Not my first app, but the most ‘different’,

Before I got married in 1989 I wrote a wedding guest app.

Parent form (aka ‘schema’) of invitations, responses, gifts received,  thank 
you notes sent.

Child form had attendees (multiple per invitation), food order and table 
assignment.

The table assignment report  got printed the most for the ‘revisions’ …
