RE: [Ext] Help with Escalation on how to Run on Last Record, Only

2018-06-22 Thread Champagne, Susan 
Thank you to all of you for your great suggestions…I really do appreciate it. 
For now, I’m going to rely on the “Recovery” settings on the BMC Remedy Email 
Engine service to restart the service in the event it should stop. In the 
meantime, I will spend some time going through each of your ideas and see what 
I can come up with.

Thanks again,

Susan

In the past I created a process that would send out an email that would create 
a record in another form.  This method tested outbound/inbound email.  The 
process would excercise 4 mail accounts that were setup for incoming email.  It 
would also provide us with health info on the email servers.

The outbound email would contain a GUID.  When the inbound email was received, 
a filter would set the status field of the record in the sending form to 
Received that using the GUID.  An escalation would run every 20 minutes 
checking the Status field.  If any records matched, an SMS would be sent to the 
admins.

You don’t mention if your using ITSM or custom apps, but here’s another way to 
skin the cat which will work if you’re using any kind of console that displays 
assigned tickets. It will work without a console, but would require “somebody” 
monitoring for new helpdesk tickets in some manner.



Have the escalation run as you described. If it finds a match, create a new 
helpdesk ticket for the issue and assign it to your Remedy 
support/administrator team during business hours and maybe your service desk 
group if it’s after hours. Once it pops up on the console, then somebody will 
see it and can take action.



If you want to add some spice to the recipe, get the list of email messages 
meeting the criteria in a table, have the escalation do a table walk using a 
filter guide and you can accomplish the same thing AND get a count of the 
number of messages meeting the criteria, thus adding some sense of urgency to 
the ticket.



Just some thoughts.

Susan,

Even if the escalation fired and ran, if the email engine service is down I am 
thinking the notification would only queue and not send until the mail engine 
service was online again. Do you use any monitoring tools in-house like scom or 
zabbix? We have had success using those to monitor a service and if the service 
stops, the team is notified and it isn’t dependent on ARS services for delivery 
of the alert that something has gone wrong.

Hi folks, 

I’m hoping one of you will be able to assist me with what I’m trying to 
accomplish. 



My goal is to have Remedy send a notification message to the Service Desk 
whenever our e-mail service stops running. I’m working on an escalation where 
the Primary Form is “AR System Email Messages”. My problem is with the Run If 
Qualification. Here’s what I’ve got so far: 



Run If Qualification 

(‘Send Message’ = “Yes”) AND (($TIMESTAM$ - ‘Create Date’) > 300) 



What I wanted to do was to add a condition to have the escalation only check 
the last record on the form, in order to prevent multiple messages being sent. 
From my research I found some hits indicating I could use something like “ 
(‘Email ID’ = “MAX (‘Email ID’))”, but this isn’t working when I try to add it 
to the qualification. 



I’m using Developer Studio Version 9.1.03 with Remedy AR System 9.1. 



Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. 



Thank you, 

Susan

Re: [Ext] Help with Escalation on how to Run on Last Record, Only

2018-06-18 Thread Jason Miller 
What I have done in the past is to create an configuration form where there
is a single configuration record for each escalation I wanted to only run
on one record.  Basically you create a form that stores your configuration
with a status (allows you to easily "turn off" this escalation record) and
some unique identifier the Run If of your escalations looks for.

Let's call our form "SHR:Escalations". In this example have one record in
the form with the Name (can use Short Description field if you would like)
"CHECK_4_PENDING_EMAIL". You then create an escalation against the
SHR:Escalations form with the Run If:  'Status' = "Enabled" and 'Name' = "
CHECK_4_PENDING_EMAIL"

When you escalation fires (once) it performs a modification to this
configuration record (you could use a Display Only field and not modify the
record) which then kicks off a filter that will go look for matching AR
System Email Messages records (your Run If in your original email) and if
there is a match set a field with some data from that transaction (like Email
ID of a matching record, let's call the field zTmpPendingEmail_ID).

One thing to note if   zTmpPendingEmail_ID  is a regular field, since it is
very likely that same Email Messages record will be found by the Set Fields
after the email engine stops sending mail, the transaction will only be
different the first time the escalation runs (after the email engine stops
sending email). You may or may not want this (example only notify people
once when the system stopped sending email). If you want to notify people
each time the escalation runs after the email engine stops sending email
you can use something like $Email ID$  + "_" + $TIMESTAMP$ in your Set
Fields.

You then have a filter(s) with Run If like   'Status' = "Enabled" AND
'Name' = "CHECK_4_PENDING_EMAIL" AND 'DB.zTmpPendingEmail_ID'  != '
zTmpPendingEmail_ID'  that do whatever you want. You could call a
script to send an email from the OS instead of using the Email Engine.

When I have used this setup in the past to address the email engine not
sending email, I found restarting the email engine would usually take care
of the issue so there was no manual intervention needed.  You can look at
this tread for an example batch file that will restart the email engine
(Windows) and there is also at least one other idea that uses a .vbs script
to monitor email:  https://mailman.rrr.se/arslist/1103/msg00794.html

The other thing I have see is a scheduled SQL job runs every few minutes
that basically does the same thing, looking for older email messages
records that have not been sent, and then sends a notification via the DB's
mail system.

RE: [Ext] Help with Escalation on how to Run on Last Record, Only

2018-06-18 Thread Mckinnish, Randy via ARSList 
Susan,
Even if the escalation fired and ran, if the email engine service is down I am 
thinking the notification would only queue and not send until the mail engine 
service was online again. Do you use any monitoring tools in-house like scom or 
zabbix? We have had success using those to monitor a service and if the service 
stops, the team is notified and it isn’t dependent on ARS services for delivery 
of the alert that something has gone wrong.

Thanks

Hi folks,
I’m hoping one of you will be able to assist me with what I’m trying to 
accomplish.

My goal is to have Remedy send a notification message to the Service Desk 
whenever our e-mail service stops running. I’m working on an escalation where 
the Primary Form is “AR System Email Messages”. My problem is with the Run If 
Qualification. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

Run If Qualification
(‘Send Message’ = “Yes”) AND (($TIMESTAM$ - ‘Create Date’) > 300)

What I wanted to do was to add a condition to have the escalation only check 
the last record on the form, in order to prevent multiple messages being sent. 
From my research I found some hits indicating I could use something like “ 
(‘Email ID’ = “MAX (‘Email ID’))”, but this isn’t working when I try to add it 
to the qualification.

I’m using Developer Studio Version 9.1.03 with Remedy AR System 9.1.

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Susan
