Hi, Thanks for the response. The reason I want to do this is :
We're building an interface between 2 remote Helpdesk Systems. Ticket data is going to be exchanged. When we receive ticket data from the remote system, it has to be processed before it is finally updated into HPD:Helpdesk. If Remedy service fails or a "timeout due to a busy server" occurs in the midst of processing, there would be unprocessed records lying in the temporary table. I was wondering how we could restart processing when remedy is restarted. Thanks Radhika Direct : +44 20718 20262 Extn : 20262 PS : I just found out that the submission transaction (made by the 3rd Party integrator which sits between the 2 helpdesk systems) itself would be rolled back if Remedy service fails during processing. That means there would never be unprocessed records. Makes my life easy. I hope it really works that way. However, armonitor.cfg seems a good idea. I'll remember that. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Carey Matthew Black Sent: 05 September, 2006 2:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Workflow to fire on every restart of Remedy Radhika, While I am not sure what you are trying to achieve. However, based on the stated requirement I would consider something along the following path... Add a line to your armonitor.cfg config file to run a command line program to do a submit(or modify) of a record in the form of interest. I would suggest that you look at the driver, or JavaDriver program. You could also write your own API client too. For the windows env you might need to actually implement a Windows Service to make this a clean solution too. (You may find that the process is called several times (4 times in less than 30 seconds immediately following start up.) then not called anymore. Ref: ConfigGuide-630.pdf page: 310. (Yea I know you said 5.1.2, but the same should apply to that version, I just do not have those docs loaded anymore.) But some questions for you about what your really trying to do... About the form in question: ) How many data records are there in this form? ) What value are you setting this field to? (a timestamp?) ) Are you trying to do something with respect to Server Clustering? Their might be easier ways to achieve whatever it is that your trying to do. However, you did not describe what that really is. Good luck. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap.... Pick two.
