Bug using Status History value in filter Run If?

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I'm pretty sure it's a bug, but wanted to see if anyone has any insight or has seen this before. Here's a simplified version of the situation: I've got a Case form with a 'Status' that can be set to "Draft", "Open", or "Closed". Users can't change the

The ar.conf settings will not solve your error. You need to find which form you are getting the error against (and which field since the error may not be because of the Request_ID field) This is where the SQL logs are very useful Fred -Original Message- From: Action Request System dis

Sort of along the same lines… At some point one of the consultants that graced us with their presence used Demo to install something. At some point afterwards, we actually gave Demo a password. We see a lot of “Demo” failed logins now. How do I determine what used Demo without a password so

Didn’t sound like this was a person’s, well, person record – was just the login. I think the bigger issue you’ll encounter is if/when you switch the login ID anything that currently runs with this ID may break. If you have a handle on anything that is running under this ID and can change it

All, I am in agreement to not use a person's name and to use service accounts. The problem is, I am stuck with a system where a person changed the Demo login name to their own person's name. I assume that they thought it was easier than creating their own privileged account. Can the login nam

Question … do you need the data with real-time updates? We have a couple of tables used for querying against that are refreshed once a day (using a Perl Script to pull the remote database and insert into a table in our Oracle). We then have a View Form in ARS to use the data in our system. Fre

Two other reasons to not use an individual’s login: 1. When the person leaves the company or transfers to another department/division their account either be locked or permissions changes which would break your install. 2. Security audits. In many cases if someone has left the comp

Not everyone gets overly concerned about ‘security’ when it comes to the Demo password in a Remedy environment. I personally don’t think it should be a personal login – so even if you don’t want it to be Demo (which I’ve always found a bit hokey anyway) I would make it a system acct / login.

Hi, To get a continous series you have to set two parameters in version 7.6.04 and forward: # ar.cfg/conf Next-ID-Commit:F Next-ID-Block-Size:1 Luckily, you can set Next-ID-Block-Size on each form. So you can have it set to 50 in general, but 1 for the forms where you need to keep your series int
