Hi, I am currently running on ITSM Version 7.6.03 on Linux OS Version 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5. I want to upgrade Linux to Version 3.9.3 or above. Does anyone knows whether this Linux Version 3.9.3 will make any impact on Remedy or ITSM Services 7.6.03. Also is there any document from BMC which mentions

No , RHEL 3.9.3 is supported for 7603 ITSM. However it is advisable to have File System and database backup beforehand. Regards, Kiran H From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Sagar Valse Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 2:06 PM To: arslist@AR

Hi Misi, The last time we did that process we imported forms/objects to the new server and did use rrrChive for the data. The issue was that the forms changed table ID on the new server which caused issues with other programs accessing Remedy. Is there a way to get the forms over there without

You may be confusing client version and database server versions. I believe 7.5 requires the 10g client, the database can be 11g with no problems. You can have multiple client versions (just like you can have multiple versions of Java). Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)

Hi, I know of no good way to do that, except importing the forms in such an order that the numbers stay the same. Maybe a tool can be created for that... In any event, it seems wrong to build stuff that depends on the table numbers. You should try to use the database-Views, the API or similar to

BMC does have the archgid utility which allows you to change the ID number if a form. One thing to remember is since you are coming from a Solaris SPARC system to a Linux i386 system is you can't just copy the oracle data files over. You have to do some sort of export/query then import operati

You can't convert a non-Unicode ARS database to a Unicode one - which is what I think you're suggesting using the steps below. You'll need a clean install of 8.1/Unicode and some sort of migration of data. If you check back through the archives there are various threads which go into the detai

Well, and that's because we put the new 11g database right on the linux server and the dba did the 10g to 11g conversion at that time. Maybe he needed to that unicode conversion in a separate place first. On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 11:17 AM, Susan Palmer wrote: > Hi Mark, > > The unicode conversion
