Thanks Rick. 

 

NOTE:  if this is doable and I just don't know how....anyone...anyone..beuller?

 

So, last night I sent in a request for enhancement.

 

When you have multiple phases in a single activelink or filter, it would be helpful when trying to troubleshoot a step, to click something like a check mark that would allow us to disable that particular phase in the link/filter....for example...

 

ActiveLink/Filter Name:  Active Link do something

Form:                           Some Form

Execute On:                 On Submit

Run If:                          $DATE$ = "07/01/2020"

 

If Action:

   Set Fields

   Change

   Message

 

so you fire off the activelink and see problems, and maybe you don't know which of the steps is causing the problem...it would be nice to "remark" (like in SQL, when you can put two -- in front of line of code and its ignored) one of the If Actions.  Today, you have to delete a step just to test something or make a copy of the activelink, disable the one you are running, remove the blah blah blah....

 

I hope this makes sense?!

Rick and All,

David Easter, a BMC product manager, hosted a luncheon on Thursday of
BUW.  The goal was to generate feedback about the enhancement process
(he is endeavoring to fix alot of broken processes, and made no excuses
for past problems).  However, another hot topic was how to enhance the
current toolset (Admin tool, RDP, etc.  Well, ok, so I brought this up
in conversation with him later!)

I mentioned to him how well Mastersuite works, how poorly RDP *works?*,
and mentioned a few other tools that are really handy (Panacea Workflow
studio, AR Utilities, etc).  He was very receptive and encouraged
everyone to submit enhancement requests for RDP.

I would encourage any interested parties to submit enhancement requests
for tasks that you would like future tools to accomplish.  Maybe things
like finding a string in enabled active links only, and replacing said
string with another string ($GROUPS$ LIKE "abc" becomes $GROUPS$ LIKE
"123").  Or adding and removing columns to the Admin tool. Or
including something like ARCHGID in a common client tool (Admin tool,
RDP, etc).  The list is endless.

David is very easy going, and listens well, so I'd strike while the
irons hot.

hth,

Rick
