Re: PDICT -- Abydos -- installer problems

2012-07-04 Thread Tom Kerman
You need to run PDICT after installing it, using the desktop shortcut.

PDICT will then install the Process Designer Integration forms  workflow after 
obtaining the remedy server login details from you.

If PDICT is running slowly, this may be due to a server that is running near 
capacity in terms of memory. Restarting the AR service before running PDICT may 
help.

The process designer install guide explains this in more detail (available from 
Programs -BMC Software-Process Designer 8.

Hope this helps.

It can take some time for the Core Application step to complete, particularly 
if the server is running close to its memory limits.

What error did you get for the Solaris Server?

I just stopped at section 72 and did nothing for hours.. HOURS !!
then I cancelled, it and restarted it.. It got past step 72 and then hung
somewhere else.. for hours..
So I figure it is not ready for prime time.. I am thinking .. and since we
are the Q+A for BMC, I will just log it..

Have you run the server install yet?
This is the part that installs the ARID plugin, and needs to be run on the AR 
server (assuming it is windows based) If it is UNIX, this needs to be done 
manually as per the install guide.

I did not realize that this had a client, and configuration agent, *and a
server install*.. just to do SRM..

Re: PDICT -- Abydos -- installer problems

2012-07-03 Thread Scott Philben
I am having similar issues in that the installer (C:\Software Install\Process 
Designer 8.3.02\ProcessDesignerInstallAndConfig_8.3.02\PDICT\setup.exe) runs, 
it puts an icon on my desktop and then stops. The icon points to:

C:\Program Files\BMC Software\Process Designer 8\Integration and Configuration 
Tool\

but there is nothing executable in that directory, just a jar file and the lib 
and Resources directories.

So then I ran the C:\Software 
Install\ProcessDesignerServer_8.3.02\Server\setup.exe and that seemed to have 
done something (it even put some entries in my ar.cfg file).

Not really sure what to do with it, however.

Maybe I am just not cut out for this Process Designer stuff. 

I'll bet the next version gets rid of all these problems.



** ARS Server :
7.6.04 SP3 
Oracle 11.i
-
Why trying to use the PDICT I am not getting very far installing.. it takes 
forever. 
Does anyone actually have this working ?  I just would like to know it can 
happen..
