As Jason says the ARS server 9.0 is Java but there is still an arserver.exe which is just a wrapper to launch the Java process – it’s the equivalent of the arsystem script on Linux. If you look at the armonitor.cfg you will see it runs the arserver.exe

There are still a few C plugins left but the AR System as of v9 is Java. I don't think you should even see an arserver.exe process anymore because are server is now running in a JVM. At least I don't remember seeing arserver.exe. My observations and others I have talked to is that the memory consumption is a bit higher but I don't think outrageously so. On a slight side note, some of our ITSM environments (mostly non-prod) would tend to hang because of a Java plugin locking out new logins (and sometimes other things). I had started (a bad) habit of running 'taskkill /S <serverame> /IM java.exe' to quickly kill the plugins and allow the system to start functioning again. The first time I did that against a v9 system, while tailing armonitor.log and arerror.log, it took me a minute to figure out why AR Server was restarting. Then I had that ah ha moment, "oh yeah, AR Server is Java now."

Instead there is a java.exe that allocates approx. 2GB RAM now. Is this a step on the road to "pure Java ARS"? If you have a monitoring on memory consumption of arserver.exe you now need an additional rule that monitors the memory consumption of this java.exe. Additionally if you want to separate your installation into different tomcats you can have at least 4: - Midtier default on http port 8080 - SmartReporting e.g. http port 8081 - Atrium CMDB WS (AXIS) e.g. http port 8082 - MyIT and SmartIT e.g. http port 8083 Regards Rüdiger "Adams, Peter" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> hat am 20. Mai 2015 um 18:24 geschrieben: Remedy ITSM 9.0 release is certainly a bit more platform centric, if we leave Smart IT/MyIT out of the discussion for a second. The platform modernization is a huge investment into the future of Remedy. But there are a number of enhancements that are very relevant for the Service Desk for customers that use the mid-tier based UI. For example: • Smart Reporting – the amazing new in-app reporting and dashboard technology that of course applies also to incident management (incl. many ootb reports). • New application-level archiving allows customers to implement continuous archiving based on business policy, thus reducing e.g. the number of active incidents in the system. This will improve performance, search results, etc. – aside from being more compliant with data retention policies. • FTS enhancements have significantly improved search performance, incl. when searching incidents and knowledge (more than 10 times in some cases). New FTS architecture also improves high-availability. • RESTful API for Remedy that allows to more easily access the incident management data. So, those enhancements were not necessarily in the core Incident Management form/process, but very relevant to Service Desk personas and to the way how they work. And all of this available to Remedy ITSM users without any additional license fees. What enhancements you’d like to see for the incident management form/process? The Modern Service Desk is certainly something that BMC cares about very much, and I Of course you can also post any suggestions for enhancements as Ideas in the BMC Remedy ITSM community<https://communities.bmc.com/community/bmcdn/bmc_it_service_support/incident_and_problem_process_management/content?filterID=contentstatus%5bpublished%5d~objecttype~objecttype%5bidea%5d>.

Consider SmartIT an alternative interface to ITSM as compared to the standard mid-tier interface if you will. I believe a new version of SmartIT was released along with the latest release of ITSM 9 but I am not positive on that. SmartIT only works with the ITSM suite so it won’t help if you are just running AR System custom applications (no matter what version). -Rick From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Saji Philip Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2015 12:06 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Remedy 9 ** Not sure if anyone knows.
