Re: Older Business time process broken by patch 020? (U)

2007-02-23 Thread Shellman, David
There is a big issue with share and patch 20 for Solaris (oracle backend).  
It's a remnant of the default password issue if you have changed the system 
password.  You will be prompted for the new password and everything runs ok.  
When complete the ar.conf file gets rewritten and it includes the default 
password.  The system will not restart until the password is reset at the 
database level.

Soif you do the file replacement method...or the Share option...and it
doesn't do any of these changes...are you running patch 20?  What are these
changes in a patch release, are they required for patch 20 to function

Using the installer on patch 20 to upgrade (at least the windows

changes in the Report Creator app that have caused an issue.

I have had conflicting responses from support on whether this is OK or not.
My only gripe is that the changes that are made during the upgrade should be
reflected in the Readme files.  They are not.

I have had conflicting responses from support on whether the Share Option

As you know, most of us do prefer the file replacement method for this very

We found out the hard way that the OS on our server and desktops had not

Re: Older Business time process broken by patch 020? (U)

2007-02-23 Thread Lucero, Michelle - IST contractor
We're running Patch 20 in Dev.

The 44 core forms will be replaced as if you are doing an installation.
Your data will be kept intact.
We had a minor customization on the FB:Variable query field where we
increased the size from 255 to 1000.  That was lost, but no big deal.
We simply put it back.  I don't think we customized any other ARS core
form.

The changes that have occurred to the forms during the "upgrade" have
nothing to do with DST.  Or, I should say aren't necessary.
 
There might be one exception.  All of the filters for Business Time
Workdays were updated with the upgrade time.  But, I don't know what
exactly changed.  I still need to compare dev P20 to prod P8 filter by
filter to see if I can find what changed.

Note:
of the forms that were updated; not all related workflow was updated.
Here are some of the forms that have workflow that was 'touched' or
updated during the upgrade.

Group
User
ARDB LDAP Configuration
Home Page
AR System Email Mailbox Configuration
Sample classes (who cares right)
Business Time Workdays
..and a couple of Report menus.

Thanks,
Michelle

Re: Older Business time process broken by patch 020? (U)

2007-02-23 Thread Ray Gellenbeck
  To clarify (and to restate the followup posting I made on the 
originally-quoted thread by me)...
   
  Patch 020 DOES impact some Solaris/Oracle servers, but does not completely 
BREAK the functionality.
   
  here is what happens, and happened on everyone one of our servers (dev and 
production)...
   
  Evidently, the upgrade works fine, but corrupts two forms or their associated 
linkage in the process.
   
  1.  Installation of 6.03.00 patch 020 takes place without incident.
  2.  Install the "test" def file posted in the original message (simply files 
a filter upon submission of a ticket that performs a calculation using the 
Business Time Dif function).
  3.  Run a test by submitting a record.
  4.  On our servers, every time, submission of that record, and the subsequent 
filter action involving the business time calculation, caused an error/failure.
  5.  Solution (from Remedy support): backup the data in the 2 business time 
calculation forms (Business Time Workday and Business Time Holiday).
  6.  Drop/delete both forms completely (and, of course, associated workflow in 
doing so).
  7.  Re-import clean versions of both forms and related workflow from a def 
file supplied by Remedy Support.
  8.  Re-import records to the two forms via import tool
  9.  Re-run test (all our servers passed).  Issue solved.
   
  Our environment: Solaris 8 (dev lab included a Solaris 9), Oracle 9i (9.2.0).
   
  Hope this helps anyone else who runs into this.

FYI...



This appears to also be a bug in Application-Bus-Time-Add and
Application-Bus-Time-Subtract on 6.3 patch 20. After initially reading
this email I assumed it only applied to Application-Bus-Time-Diff, but I
did my own testing and all three of these functions are an hour off if
you use a timestamp that falls in the new DST range.



We've opened a ticket with BMC on this but haven't heard anything yet.
This will be a huge problem for us.



On a slightly related note - Email Engine patch 20 will generate
outbound emails with timestamps that are an hour off if you include
timestamp fields within the body of your emails. You might want to be
aware of that as well.

** WARNING: We (BMC support eng and I) believe we may have found a new
issue with the latest patch (020). In fixing the DST bug, they may have
affected (broke) an older process.

Process name Application-Bus-Time-Diff appears to now be broken.

If you want to test the process yourself, I have included the def file
here. simply copy the block of code below and paste it into a notepad
file. If you open the form +SS:Test, enter any characters into the
character field and hit save, the process attempts to perform a
calculation. On our 6.0.1 servers, it passed. On a 6.03.00 patch 020
server, it results in a popup "ARERROR [639] No Workday form could be
found on the server"

very reason, but the completeness of the files just wasn't that
trustworthy this time around.

Well, BMC was right on this one. Patch 20 actually did fix the DST
issues. We found out the hard way that the OS on our server and desktops
had not been patched like we thought they had. Everything works fine as
long as the OS (server & desktop), AR Server, AR User, and Java have all

Re: Older Business time process broken by patch 020? (U)

2007-02-23 Thread Ray Gellenbeck
To clarify (and to restate the followup posting I made on the originally-quoted 
thread by me)...
   
  Patch 020 DOES impact some Solaris/Oracle servers, but does not completely 
BREAK the functionality.
   
  here is what happens, and happened on everyone one of our servers (dev and 
production)...
   
  Evidently, the upgrade works fine, but corrupts two forms or their associated 
linkage in the process.
   
  1.  Installation of 6.03.00 patch 020 takes place without incident.
  2.  Install the "test" def file posted in the original message (simply files 
a filter upon submission of a ticket that performs a calculation using the 
Business Time Dif function).
  3.  Run a test by submitting a record.
  4.  On our servers, every time, submission of that record, and the subsequent 
filter action involving the business time calculation, caused an error/failure.
  5.  Solution (from Remedy support): backup the data in the 2 business time 
calculation forms (Business Time Workday and Business Time Holiday).
  6.  Drop/delete both forms completely (and, of course, associated workflow in 
doing so).
  7.  Re-import clean versions of both forms and related workflow from a def 
file supplied by Remedy Support.
  8.  Re-import records to the two forms via import tool
  9.  Re-run test (all our servers passed).  Issue solved.
   
  Our environment: Solaris 8 (dev lab included a Solaris 9), Oracle 9i (9.2.0).
   
  Hope this helps anyone else who runs into this.

file. If you open the form +SS:Test, enter any characters into the
character field and hit save, the process attempts to perform a
calculation. On our 6.0.1 servers, it passed. On a 6.03.00 patch 020
server, it results in a popup "ARERROR [639] No Workday form could be
found on the server"

Good luck, and if anyone else out there has run into this, PLEASE let me

Re: Older Business time process broken by patch 020? (U)

2007-02-23 Thread Hall Chad - chahal
Well, BMC was right on this one. Patch 20 actually did fix the DST
issues. We found out the hard way that the OS on our server and desktops
had not been patched like we thought they had. Everything works fine as
long as the OS (server & desktop), AR Server, AR User, and Java have all
been patched.

So, sorry for the false alarm on this one...

Very interesting.  I brought this up to Remedy Support and was told,
"There are no open DST issues with Application-Bus-Time and Patch 20 and
currently there are no open defects related to this"

FYI...

 

This appears to also be a bug in Application-Bus-Time-Add and
Application-Bus-Time-Subtract on 6.3 patch 20. After initially reading
this email I assumed it only applied to Application-Bus-Time-Diff, but I
did my own testing and all three of these functions are an hour off if
you use a timestamp that falls in the new DST range.

 

We've opened a ticket with BMC on this but haven't heard anything yet.
This will be a huge problem for us.

 

On a slightly related note - Email Engine patch 20 will generate

Older Business time process broken by patch 020?

2007-02-01 Thread Ray Gellenbeck
WARNING: We (BMC support eng and I) believe we may have found a new issue with 
the latest patch (020). In fixing the DST bug, they may have affected (broke) 
an older process.

Process name Application-Bus-Time-Diff appears to now be broken.

If you want to test the process yourself, I have included the def file here. 
simply copy the block of code below and paste it into a notepad file. If you 
open the form +SS:Test, enter any characters into the character field and hit 
save, the process attempts to perform a calculation. On our 6.0.1 servers, it 
passed. On a 6.03.00 patch 020 server, it results in a popup "ARERROR [639] No 
Workday form could be found on the server"

Good luck, and if anyone else out there has run into this, PLEASE let me know 
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
