Hi,

We are currently writing end user documentation for RT, and it would
really help to see what has been done before. If you care to share ;-)

Many Thanks,

One of the problems is that any ticket that is closed but responded to  
is also owned by the first person to respond. So even if the logout  
code cleared any tickets they owned, more worried about tickets that  
become owned when they aren't there.

[rt-users] RTIR status?

2008-01-14 Thread The Anarcat
Hello!

What's the word on RTIR these days?

We're running RT 3.6.3 now and we're wondering wether it is still
maintained, as the latest official release (1.0.5) is already almost 4
years old (april 2004) and requires RT >3.0. I'm aware of the 1.1.5
"preview release" (2 years old, "RT 3.4 integration") and "RTIR M3"
(seems to be a redesign of some sort, requires the RT 3.7 dev version).

So where do I go from here? What is the experience of the people here
with RTIR?

The only thing I could find about it (apart from the initial powerpoint
presentations) is this comment:

http://lists.sans.org/pipermail/unisog/2005-December/025653.html

which is not really encouraging...

What we need:

 1. Business::SLA management: some people/queues/tickets need to be
 treated within X days. I know we can do that with Queues but it's only
 the priority and I can't apply it to people.
 2. the integrated Whois client is really nice
 3. Proper integration with RT: our current, working, RT install must
 not be disrupted
 4. The "investigations" in RTIR are also interesting...

Bref, what do you guys think? Is RTIR still alive?

You might want to use a different template for the "onCreate" scrip.

Tom,

If you can put them all in one group, or if they are already in
groups that only have "takers" as members, then list the group(s) in the
Watchers: "CC" of the appropriate queues. Then all you need do is create
a notification scrip for "OnCreate" to "Notify CC's". That would work.
How do you plan to maintain the membership of this "Takers" group?


Hi,

I see what you mean now, If I removed the following global script;
"  (no value)
On Correspond Notify Requestors and Ccs with template Correspondence"

And replaced it with the following;
"  (no value)
On Correspond Notify Requestors with template Correspondence"
and
"  (no value)
On Create Notify cs with template Correspondence"

And added my "project A group" to the watchers list for "project A
queue", then the CC list would only be notified of new tickets, and not
get all the correspondence!!!

I guess I was hoping not to mess with the default watchers CC list - but
 as I have not plans to use it currently, that makes for a neat solution.

(I think I have got that correctly?)

Thanks,

Tom Hodder

Re: [rt-users] Exporting request contents

2008-01-14 Thread Todd Chapman
Stick with text. If you hack RT to export ticket history ( I have ) you will
quickly run into excel size limits, such as the number of characters that
can be stored in a cell.

Here's how I hacked RT so that I could get ticket history in search results
so that they could be exported:

In
/opt/rt3/local/html/Callbacks/myCompnay/Elements/RT__Ticket/ColumnMap/ColumnMap:

$COLUMN_MAP->{AllCorrespondence} = {
title => 'All Correspondence',
attribute => 'AllCorrespondence',
value => sub { return $_[0]->AllCorrespondence },
};

In Ticket_Local.pm:

sub AllCorrespondenceTransactions {

my $self = shift;
my $role = shift;

my $transactions = $self->Transactions;
$transactions->Limit( SUBCLAUSE => 'type', FIELD => 'Type', VALUE=>
'Create' );
$transactions->Limit( SUBCLAUSE => 'type', FIELD => 'Type', VALUE=>
'Correspond', ENTRYAGGREGATOR => 'OR' );

if ( $role eq 'Requestor' ) {
my $requestor_group = $self->Requestors;
my $users = $requestor_group->UserMembersObj;
while ( my $user = $users->Next ) {
$transactions->Limit( SUBCLAUSE => 'requestors', FIELD =>
'Creator',
  VALUE => $user->PrincipalId,
ENTRYAGGREGATOR => 'OR' );
}
}
elsif ( $role eq 'Owner' ) {
$transactions->Limit( FIELD => 'Creator', VALUE =>
$self->OwnerObj->PrincipalId, ENTRYAGGREGATOR => 'AND' );
}

return $transactions;;

}

sub AllCorrespondence {

my $self = shift;
my $role = shift;

my $transactions = $self->AllCorrespondenceTransactions($role);

my $string = '';

while ( my $t = $transactions->Next ) {
$string .= "\n\n" . formatted($t);
}

return $string;

}

sub formatted {

my $transaction = shift;
return '' unless $transaction;

my $string = '## On ' . $transaction->CreatedObj->AsString . ' ' .
$transaction->CreatorObj->EmailAddress . " wrote:\n\n";
$string .= $transaction->Content;

return $string;

}

Hi,

We are using RT 3.2.3 on Red Hat 9. We would like export the existing
data in a text or excel file. To do this, we have tried using the Query
builder. We are able to export the data but we could not find the field
to export ticket history ( ie. communication captured during the life

If somebody knows how to capture the ticket history then please let me
know.

Thanks in Advance

Re: [rt-users] Customer Service Workflow

2008-01-14 Thread Steve Cochran


Yep, we have shifts, and not everyone works every day. Tracking how  
many tickets are resolved is something the powers that be want.


I'm just looking for the easiest way to make sure that no one has to  
go looking for tickets to steal from users that went home or are out  
for the day because they were re-opened by responses from users.


I was thinking the 9pm cron job could just reset any owned, open  
tickets in our general queue to be unowned.

Are you sure there's no case in which tracking the ticket handler is  
useful? (some employers tend to award their staff with some bonuses  
if they do their work in a timely and productive basis).

If I get it right, you are going to reset ownership at 9pm. each day.

There might be another solution, namely sessions. RT keeps track of  
currently logged in users via %session tied hash, along with HTTP  
cookies.
You might try to patch lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm (if I recall  
correctly) or some autohandler to update some (non-persistent,  
obviously) session parameter (preferably, $session{CurrentUser} 
{LastActivity}) each time the user makes HTTP request with his cookie.
When you have user's last activity time, you might apply some  
assumptions, probably based on amortized analysis: if a user was  
online 5 minutes ago, he is probably still online.
It isn't as hard as it sounds. I wonder why Best Practical doesn't  
register last activities at their RT releases...

Re: [rt-users] multiple apache instances per one RT database

2008-01-14 Thread Kenneth Marshall
Viktor,

You can run multiple front-ends against the same backend
database. We are use the apache rotatelogs program to avoid
the problem that you are experiencing with the SIGHUP or SIGUSR1
causing the web process to grow in size. You might want to give
it a try.

Cheers,
Ken
