Re: [otrs] 3.1.7 Upgrade problem

2012-10-08 Thread Martin Gruner
Hi Steve,

the UPGRADING file has a section on this:

18) Custom free field default value event handler
-

If you used the event handler
Ticket::EventModulePost###TicketFreeFieldDefault (not active by default),
you'll need to migrate its configuration to the new setting
Ticket::EventModulePost###TicketDynamicFieldDefault.

The configuration of this is slightly different; where you had to
specify a Counter indicating the TicketFreeText
number previously, now you need to specify the name of the
DynamicField (for migrated fields, this will be
DynamicField_TicketFreeKey$Counter and
DynamicField_TicketFreeText$Counter. You need two separate entries now
if you want to set both the key and the text field.

Please check the mentioned settings. The old one should be deactivated
and migrated to the new module.

Best regards, mg

[otrs] Receiving mail's with .msg attachments

2012-10-08 Thread Steve Hall
All,

As part of some workflow, we need to be able to receive an e-mail, which 
contains another e-mail as an attachment.

When OTRS receives this it is taking the original .msg file and stripping it 
into two .txt files

This would be be too bad, but we loose the headers from the original attached 
e-mail which are required for diagnostic purposes.

Any way around this?

Steve

(we 'are still investigating) the process otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl
crash, now we stopped running this script during the backup and solved
the problem.

And in my case, I use procmail which has none of these issues and
receives mail instantly into OTRS.

[otrs] otrs auto merge feature

2012-10-08 Thread Neil Simpson
Hi,

We are using a "drop" system for mails that we want in otrs, if there's an
email chain of 5 emails however and then you drop them all into otrs, you
get 5 new tickets, not one ticket with 5 articles which is what i'd like as
they all have same subject and relate to same issue.  i know otrs like's to
match by OTRS number but is there no way for it to check subject line
aswell?

thanks

Well, it DOES check the subject line - for the OTRS ticket # that would 
associate those emails. Does the subject line contain that?

Otherwise is there some unique identifier that OTRS could use to tell they were 
associated? You could try to scan for it in the postmaster input, but there has 
to be some unique identifier that ties the issues together that OTRS can be 
programmed to find.

the unique identifier is the subject of the email. but without any otrs
number as these emails are all outside of otrs until i drag them in
together. it needs to say "ohh here are 5 emails with the same subject, i
will merge them into one ticket, 5 articles" but currently it says "ohh
here are 5 emails without any otrs number, i will create a new ticket for
each" which then means everyone gets 5 "new ticket" notifications for what
is essentially only 1 issue and an Agent has to then merge the 5 together.

Re: [otrs] otrs auto merge feature

2012-10-08 Thread David Boyes
the unique identifier is the subject of the email.
There are a lot of ugly failure and/or race condition scenarios here. What 
would happen if another agent dropped in an email from another customer that 
happened to have the same subject line while you were dropping a batch in? 
Would you want that email incorporated into the same ticket as well? Somehow, I 
don't think that's what you want to happen, but that would be the result.
You're going to have to create something else in each email that indicates that 
the multiple messages are somehow associated, either a custom header or 
manipulating the subject line in some special way outside OTRS. What implements 
your "drop box"? Is there a way that a script could be run when an item is 
dropped into the folder? If so, you could generate a unique id that would be 
applied to all messages dropped until it received a message with a special 
subject line that indicated a batch was complete and then obtained a OTRS 
ticket # and appended the messages to that ticket. Also, what should happen if 
another agent decides to do the same thing at the same time? Does every agent 
get a separate drop folder?
Short of that, I don't think there's a viable way to do what you want to do out 
of the box. Incoming messages are individual transactions, and OTRS can't read 
your mind. Somehow you have to link them together in a consistent way, and that 
would involve a lot of custom code outside OTRS, maybe like this idea:
If you have MS OneNote, look at how MS did the Send to OneNote button in 
Outlook. You'd have to write something like that, but you'd still have to have 
a unique identifier better than just the subject line.

Not quite true David, like I commented, try enabling SearchInReferences.

OTRS can do some "intelligent" things, enabling that option tells OTRS
to read the email headers and look for the in-replyto and references
headers and match those with existing tickets, so aslong as the emails
are all part of the same trail then the in-replyto/references should
allow OTRS to pin them together. We use this function to mop up CC'd
emails that don't contain the ticket number in the subject.

Re: [otrs] otrs auto merge feature

2012-10-08 Thread David Boyes
> Not quite true David, like I commented, try enabling SearchInReferences.

I have. It still misses fairly frequently (at least for us), which is why I 
didn't mention it. But, that may be a function of our customer base often 
having very old MUA/MTAs that don't reliably implement a lot of the newer mail 
headers in consistently useful ways. We have to have a 100% solution.

SearchInReferences relies a lot on things out of your control (eg the algorithm 
that generates message ids at the sending MTA). It's a partial solution, but 
not a complete one.  It also doesn't really address the race conditions of 
multiple agents dropping into the same folder from different customers. 

Maybe a better approach would be to write something that you use to post 
process a private folder for each agent on an IMAP server (eg, dump a copy of 
all the related messages into a subfolder, then run a separate app that opened 
a OTRS ticket, iterated through the folder items posting them to that ticket # 
and deleting them from the folder).  All further correspondence is then done 
via OTRS (key point -- otherwise your statistics are going to get progressively 
more useless over time because OTRS can't measure response times, etc for stuff 
submitted this way). 

That should be fairly easy to write with the Perl IMAP library and the Perl 
SOAP library, and would be fairly easily to make work against any IMAP server 
implementation. Could be fairly easily batched if you used subfolders for each 
group of messages (schedule it in cron or something).
