<rant> Hym... An enhancement request to continue receiving what we have had for the last 3 (or 4?) versions of the software? I wonder if we will see the day that an enhancement request needs to be submitted to TRY to get something like the Set Field action back into the product?
Maybe someone could request (likely via an enhancment request) that ALL removals of features be documented in the Release notes? (That is exactly something that a customer should not have to ask for.) BMC corporate appears to be moving in a strange direction when: Their purchased products do not include samples to demonstrate to the users how BMC thinks said product could be used. I really hope that the removal of the sample configuration data now requires an asterisk on the product marketing that indicates that after a fully successful install the software REQUIRES configuration before it will be functional. (Functionality being defined as being able to demonstrate all listed features of the product.) AND/OR Their tech support group is unable, or unwilling, to ship out a simple set of exported data files for their customers to use as a starting point for such a routine question. Or if BMC would prefer, take the time to walk the CUSTOMERS through the entire "basic setup" over the phone so that the CUSTOMER can actually use the product that they purchased in a way that is consistent with the marketing promises for said product. </rant> -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....

Going through the process of configuring the data is a good way of learning how this new application works - the only way at present. So, since Remedy gave us lemons, I'm making lemonade.

I don't select the DSL (definitive software library) in Incident and Problem, because in another installation it spends a lot of time. Is could be the reason? or ITSM v7 is sample less. Is anyone have a sample info, I would appreciate it. Thanks.. Pedro Cardoso R. MEXICO
