Hi, Michiel: Remedy Tech Support and I are still working this issue.
They've asked me to install ARAdmin 6.3, patch 17. I'll be testing a data import in a few minutes. I'll keep you posted. Thanks, Michelle -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michiel Beijen Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 6:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fallback Mapping - Does it work in 6.3 In the release notes there is only one thing that points to Import and actually it is listed under "Server" SW00235418 fix memory leak in ARImport I think you have logged SW00244816 - is this correct? This is still marked as "Work In Progress". We'll wait, I guess.
