I think it would be a good thing for BMC to present this information, however it's pretty obvious that they do use at least some of their own products if you've logged into their support site (custom ARS apps and RKM), and when I was working a contract in their Houston office a number of years a

Yeah, I entered a call with BMC Support just this week and they told me to install Patch 5. Fortunately, the only thing I patched was the Email Engine, but it would be nice if BMC stopped trying to be the next Microsoft when it comes to quality. Shawn Pierson From: Action Request System discu

I've been thinking about this sort of thing lately, and I think that it's not necessarily a bad move from a corporate perspective, despite my personal desire to continue using WUT. 1) Web services are the present and future of integrations, at least in the near term. Older APIs and such shoul

Since I'm not a lawyer or auditor I won't go into my perception of the details, but I can give you some general information. The ITSM system itself is a source of record for things pertaining to your financial systems despite it not really being a financial system itself. For example, if someo

I think the lack of responses to this says volumes. We’ve been struggling with this topic and it seems that there is no real standard in defining services either from an ITIL perspective or from a BMC perspective. Of course, this is just like all other things ITIL, in particular the CMDB. In

Kevin, I just upgraded from 7.1 to 7.5 in a similar environment to you, and used the Patch 4 installer directly. In fact, prior installers of 7.5 turned out to be complete junk, so I would highly suggest avoiding them. The only post-install issues I experienced is that the Approval and Assignm

This may be more of a solution without a question anymore, but I just upgraded to CMDB 7.6 Patch 1 from 2.1. The CI Viewer and Atrium Core Console didn't work at all, and I couldn't find anything wrong. My coworker was also testing it, and wanted to see if it worked locally on the Mid Tier ser

We are using Analytics and it's good, but setting up the "Reporting" from the ITSM applications that are Crystal Reports isn't documented well and isn't as straight forward as setting up BMC Analytics. I'm hoping that one day BMC replaces all of their ITSM reports with it, but for now you have

Too bad BMC is so focused on moving things to Flash (CI Viewer, Flashboards, etc) and Apple seems to have a problem with Adobe. It's cool that the Kinetic apps work, but I think I'll be waiting for a Windows or Android based equivalent that costs $200 and is capable of things like copy and past

I would suggest talking to management before doing anything. Based on your previous emails, it sounds like they want to do away with Tomcat altogether rather than allowing you to use IIS/Jakarta/Tomcat. I would make sure that they understand Remedy's Mid Tier can't be converted to ASP at all.
