Thanks, everyone, yes, I'm familiar with RBE, but no, we're not using it (if I remember, it wasn't quite mature enough yet or didn't work with all modules. I need to revisit its capabilities). rp On 10/22/2014 7:50 PM, Raj wrote: ** If memory serves me well, This is related to RBE - Rule

That's as in REMEDY.ARF.HTML2TEXT, so I know that it's a filter plugin, but if the server can't connect to this plugin, what functionality can I expect to have lost? Thanks, rp ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archiv

William, It feels like what you are seeing is not a VM vs. physical issue, but an issue about how FTS works and the requirements about configuration to allow scaling and proper behavior. FTS is very FILE SYSTEM intensive. All the indexing of the files and the searching of the indexes is file s

I looked and did not see one and decided to ask here before I create an "Idea". My wish is that BMC could look at the applications you own and allow you to click on everything you want to patch/upgrade and then click on another link and have it give you an install package that is specific to you

Are you guys who are running VM's using Full Text Search? We've never really gotten that working. We always had the same issue - we'd index stuff, it would work, and the indexes would get corrupted within a few days. BMC wanted us to go to independent physical drives but we have all VM's. We
