Robert: I started a design and it's along the lines of your suggestion. I will have a server side code that's invoked with two parameters thru a simple URL. This code will take these parameters and then work as a Web Service client...and consume a ARS Web Service, passing the parameters to ARS.

Rabi, Very sorry for the late reply.. So many emails from the ARS list sometimes I just skim over them because I'm up to my neck in work. Any device can look at a PHP web page as all that is outputted from the server is HTML. PHP is only ran on the server. Now, I haven't used websphere before

All: I need to provide blackberry users ability to receive an email from ARS, from which they should be able to, through some easy means, provide a Yes/No answer back to ARS. Obvious solution is to have them reply to the email with YES or NO text or some other unique string and parse the email in

The problem with the mid-tier and mobile devices that I've experienced is that most mobile devices won't support the java on the web page fully. This is because of the browser on most mobile devices. Instead of creating the page through Remedy, I would either stick with the e-mail option (since

UNCLASSIFIED It depends on your goal, on what you want the Yes/No response to do. Remedy doesn't care whether the email is sent from a PC or Blackberry mailbox so you could use the functionality of the AREmail Engine and create workflow using incoming messages. The workflow can be dependent on

If your BB environment is set up to use web access, I would recommend constructing a truncated view of the approval screen, and send them that. If not, perhaps if your emails asking for approval had three URLs embedded in them - one for Yes, one for No, and perhaps one for Need more Info, those

Rabi, If you want an OTB solution, I think Kinetic Survey may have something for you. I'm pretty sure one of the features of Kinetic Survey was to send a email with embedded method of replying to a survey which could be a Yes/No kind of a survey you want to send. I remember seeing a demo on this

Rabi, The way I did it here was to create a web app. This assumes that your BlackBerry can access a web app, which in turn can access your ARS system. When the email is created in Remedy workflow inserts a hidden URL into the top of the email. The URL is not visible in Outlook (our email
