Re: 7.5 download problems?

2009-01-20 Thread Remedy Maniac

hi,

the CM states the following:
On UNIX and Linux, BMC has found the following clients (supplied from 
the vendor) to operate properly

with AR System
· Sybase : 64-bit Sybase 12.5.3 database client (a.k.a. OpenClient 
12.5.1.x)


This is the client I mean.
Of course, I understood the Remedy clients are Windows based only.

To draw you a simple picture of what I meant:
you have a Sybase database somewhere. You install the Remedy 7.5 on one 
box. This box is then the client to the server.
From that client you need to use something compatible/able/capable of 
talking to the database. This is the case for every RDBMS which works in 
a client-server environment.


So could you possibly check with your teams and give me an appropriate 
answer to my question ?

Many thanks in advance
Serouche

Because of internal processes, different deliverables of the

There is a link from EPD to the individual documentation, however.  The

Re: 7.5 download problems?

2009-01-20 Thread Walters, Mark
There are two supported databases for ARS on the Linux platform - Oracle and 
IBM DB2.  There is no arserverd for Linux that can connect to a Sybase database 
- local or remote.

If you want to use a Sybase database you have the choice of running ARS on 
Solaris, HPUX or AIX.

I hope that helps.

Re: 7.5 download problems?

2009-01-20 Thread Easter, David
Mark is correct.
 
The note is there because BMC moved the UNIX and Linux AR System server to 
64-bit in AR System 7.5.00.  Windows is still 32-bit.  Thus when running on 
UNIX or Linux, a 64-bit DB client is needed for DB communication whereas on 
Windows, the 32-bit client continues to be needed.  The note is not intended to 
represent specific configurations, as that is covered above in the table.
 
The document should be read top to bottom.  So first the table indicates what 
is supported.  Below that are notes that provide any specifics about the 
configurations supported.  So if the table does not indicate support, the notes 
below would not modify that statement.
 
So more explicitly stated, connecting to a Sybase DB is not supported by AR 
System if AR System is running on Linux.  Note that it wasn't supported on 
Linux in AR System 7.1.00 either, so this is not a change.

Re: 7.5 download problems?

2009-01-19 Thread Easter, David
Sybase is not supported on Linux.  It is supported on the following (as per the 
matrix):
 
Platform

Minimum Operating System version

Sybase ASE 12.5.3 

Solaris 9, IBM AIX 5L 5.3, HP-UX 11iv2

 
Note that these represent minimum OS and DB versions that are supported.
 
Not sure what you meant about the client, but clients (i.e. Dev Studio and 
Remedy User) are only supported on Windows based platforms:
 

 

Minimum Operating System Version

AR System Clients

Windows Vista (32-bit only), XP (32 bit only)

AR System User Tool

AR System Developer Studio

Windows 2003  (32 or x64)

AR System Developer Studio

** many thanks for this answer Ian.
I now got the Matrix.
Something which is unclear: is Sybase on Linux supported?
My understanding is that the answer for the client part is : Yes.
But I don't get the point for the server side.
Would anybody have more infos on this point?
Many thanks in advance

Serouche,

David Easter said on Friday (take a look in the ARSlist Archive):

Because of internal processes, different deliverables of the 
release come out at different times of the day (or days).  So the EPD is up, 
but the documentation section in Support Central has not yet been activated.  
There is a link from EPD to the individual documentation, however.  The 
compatibility page update is also lagging a little.  Everything should be 
available through normal channels by end of day Monday if things continue to go 
well.

Hope this helps,

Ian

Re: 7.5 download problems?

2009-01-19 Thread Rick Westbrock
I tried repeatedly to download the zip files today with no success. Our
proxy server which scans archives for viruses etc. reported a file type
mismatch so from my side it looks like at least one of the files may be
corrupt on the BMC side; the file with the client software reported that
it downloaded but it was a 0k file. I went back a couple of hours ago
and after clicking on the link to download my browser just kept chugging
away and never started the download; that happened from two different
machines on my side so I assumed that there was a problem on the BMC
side. Maybe they are getting hammered with download requests today and
the servers can't keep up.

Has anyone else successfully downloaded the full 7.5 server/suite yet? 

Both a colleague and I have downloaded 7.5, only to find a corrupt .zip

Re: 7.5 download problems?

2009-01-19 Thread Easter, David
While I'm obviously on the inside, I was able to download the client
software zip file for English - Microsoft Windows/NT version of AR
System 7.5.00 successfully from the EPD site.  From that zip file, I was
able to install both the Remedy User client and the Dev Studio client.
i.e. this file:
 
AR System Clients: User, Alert, Developer Studio, Data Import Version
7.5.00 - Windows
outbind://108/epd/faces/download.jsp?ein=97064ersln=88698pvsn=LP757.7
.5.00 
 
If that is the same file you're trying to download, I would say it's not
a corrupted zip file.  Perhaps it is, as mentioned, an issue of the
download site itself.
