Re: Developer Studio issue
Funny, I had the same issue last week. I had to uninstall Java 6 to meet security requirement but even after modifying the config file for Dev Studio it was still looking for that jre6 directory. I ended up uninstalling Java 7 and re-installing it to the jr6 directory as a quick fix so that I wasn't stranded without my tools. I don't know what the root cause of the issue is and I quickly gave up searching my registry for jre6 as it was in a large number of entries. I had even tried reinstalling Dev Studio after removing Java 6 but it's still looking for that jre6 path for some reason.

Re: Developer Studio issue
We have been using symbolic links and pointing installers to those instead of the actual Java install directories. Similar to what you said about installing to ../jre instead of ../jre7 or ../jre6. We let the installer installed in the path it wants (except for changing to D:) and then created a ../jre and/or ../jdk symbolic link. If we update Java from 6 to 7 we just need to update the symlink. Windows example: mklink /J D:\Program Files\Java\jre D:\Program Files\Java\jre7 It creates a junction (like a shortcut that apps can use) called D:\Program Files\Java\jre that points to the jre7 directory.

Re: Developer Studio issue
Great tip Jason, I've used hard and soft links in Linux before but hadn't done so in Windows before today. I was able to create both the junction you suggested as well as one joining jre6 to jre7 so that any existing programs that insist on looking for jre6 can work and I can still let Java install to its default directory. Now when version 8 rolls around I just need to update those two junctions and I should be good to go. I also remembered that the Data Import tool stopped working with the same error for not being able to find the jre6 path on my machine. I had updated my path variable as well as the ini file for Data Import as well so who knows where the pointer to jre6 is buried for these programs. -Rick ___ Rick Westbrock QMX Support Services From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Jason Miller Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 10:11 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Developer Studio issue ** We have been using symbolic links and pointing installers to those instead of the actual Java install directories.

Not that I condone the practice, but I understand how it's doing it...this goes back to the discussion regarding how to parse a qualification. The 'dev studio way' is how ARInside has always parsed the qualification. It takes the left and right operand and puts brackets around them, then it parses again, and puts brackets around left and right again, over and over till it hits the individual qualifications. it's significantly 'easier' from a programming standpoint to do that than it is to do it the way Admin tool used to do itbut I agree it makes it significantly harder to read. I would say we need to open defects against the DevStudio and get it fixed. _ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Guillaume Rheault Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 8:03 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Developer Studio issue - auto grouping of qualification criteria ** DevStudio is a great revolutionary tool compared to the good ol' Admin tool, but there is something that the Admin Tool is better at, by not doing it: the automatic grouping of qualification statements. Let me explain. When setting a qualification, whether for an active link , filter or table field qualification, or any qualification, DevStudio over groups the statements to the point where it is harder to see what it is. So for instance in the Admin tool, you can have this qualification: (('Field 1' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 2' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 3' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 4' != $NULL$)) OR ('Field 5' != $NULL$) In DevStudio, this becomes: 'Field 1' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 2' != $NULL$)) AND ('Field 3' != $NULL$)) AND ('Field 4' != $NULL$)) OR ('Field 5' != $NULL$) Notice the extra brackets. This qualification is very simple, but as you can see it is more difficult to figure it out in DevStudio than the Admin tool because of the extra brackets. With complex qualifications, this becomes a real annoyance that really gets in the way of the developer, specially because the auto-grouping is done even before saving the active link, filter, table field, etc. This problem is magnified when dealing with the ITSM workflow, to the point that I find myself copying and pasting qualifications in Notepad to strip the extra brackets to be able to understand the qualification this is not good.

Re: Developer Studio issue - auto grouping of qualification criteria
I'll agree with that and take it a step further. I want it to only show the brackets that I put there and not take them out or add new ones. They could do that by simply storing the qualification text as well as its internal representation.

Hi, I agree, but why settle for the way AR Admin did it? I think that ALL unnecessary brackets should be removed. I want to see brackets only where they make a difference! The normal way: ('Field 1' != $NULL$ AND 'Field 2' != $NULL$ AND 'Field 3' != $NULL$ AND 'Field 4' != $NULL$) OR 'Field 5' != $NULL$ AR Admin: (('Field 1' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 2' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 3' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 4' != $NULL$)) OR ('Field 5' != $NULL$) DevStudio: 'Field 1' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 2' != $NULL$)) AND ('Field 3' != $NULL$)) AND ('Field 4' != $NULL$)) OR ('Field 5' != $NULL$) Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se Products from RRR Scandinavia: * RRR|License - Not enough Remedy licenses?

The 'dev studio way' is how ARInside has always parsed the qualification.

Let me explain. When setting a qualification, whether for an active link , filter or table field qualification, or any qualification, DevStudio over groups the statements to the point where it is harder to see what it is. So for instance in the Admin tool, you can have this qualification: (('Field 1' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 2' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 3' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 4' != $NULL$)) OR ('Field 5' != $NULL$) In DevStudio, this becomes: 'Field 1' != $NULL$) AND ('Field 2' != $NULL$)) AND ('Field 3' != $NULL$)) AND ('Field 4' != $NULL$)) OR ('Field 5' != $NULL$) Notice the extra brackets. This qualification is very simple, but as you can see it is more difficult to figure it out in DevStudio than the Admin tool because of the extra brackets. With complex qualifications, this becomes a real annoyance that really gets in the way of the developer, specially because the auto-grouping is done even before saving the active link, filter, table field, etc. This problem is magnified when dealing with the ITSM workflow, to the point that I find myself copying and pasting qualifications in Notepad to strip the extra brackets to be able to understand the qualification this is not good. This problem really needs to be fixed, or at least provide the end user with the option to turn this feature on or off. IMO, it should be off, so DevStudio behaves the same way As the Admin tool by default. So far it seems there is no option to turn this off, but if somebody knows a way, please let us know Guillaume _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: Where the Answers Are_ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: Where the Answers Are -- This message was scanned by ESVA and is believed to be clean. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: Where the Answers Are
