AR System 8.1: Why is the BMC AREA LDAP plugin not working?

2013-03-15 Thread John Baker
Hello When installing AR System 8.1, you may expect to be able to carry on using the BMC AREA LDAP plugin. It appears BMC have switched on the AtriumSSO AREA plugin by default, and would prefer you ran this product to achieve what the AREA LDAP plugin does without the overhead of extra

if it can be done for last week or last month. Use this as a qualifier to find tickets logged in the last 30 days - or $DATE$ but I always use $TIMESTAMP$ for no particular reason. 'Reported Date+' $TIMESTAMP$ - (30*24*60*60)

Hi John, In 8.1 the default LDAP plugins are based on Java plugins but they are not the AtriumSSO ones. What you are basically doing here is disabling the newer Java plugin for AREA so that it falls back to the C plugin. The java plugin is actually arealdapplugin81_build001.jar which is

Thanks for the responses. There are various reasons why mgmt doesn't want to handle this in-house, although I am fairly certain that's what we'll end up doing (along the lines of what Ken suggested). I need to present the options, though, so thanks David for the Mailgun recommendation, and to

AR System 8.1: Why is the BMC AREA LDAP plugin not working?

2013-03-15 Thread John Baker
Curt Yes, it makes perfect sense to move everything over to Java plugins on the Java plugin server. But I guess if one has been staring at the arplugin log for a decade, and has become accustomed to the C plugin, it could be confusing to look elsewhere. I also agree that it's better to look

And keep in mind that in January, your previous month query has to account for the change in year as well as the change in month. Analytics has some variables built in to the Universe for every important date field that make this kind of calculation really easy, but to do it manually? It's

If you have a copy of Crystal Reports Designer (or whatever the current name is for the desktop tool) you might be able to save the query in the report and then call the RPT file from Remedy. I know for sure it can do the current week/month but it's been a few years (and I don't have the tool
