What backend database are you running? And what version of ARS? I've been told that either 7.0.1 or 7.1 (can't remember which) will support transactional replication. So for example you could setup SQL Server replication on the tables you want to keep in sync. I plan to do this for our separate reporting server some day. That may not fit your needs if you only want some transferred and not all. But it should be more efficient and reliable than DSO if you simply need to copy all ticket data. Web services might work well for you. Although I would worry about how it would handle high volumes. I haven't been down that road with Remedy's web services but I've seen others that simply weren't a good fit for high volume interfaces. Chad Hall 501-342-2650

My customer cannot use DSO due to port and encryption level restrictions. Currently, we are using a solution provided to us by another group. This solution uses IBM WebSphere MQ and a product called ARSXML (not be to confused with ARXML, ARSXML is a product by N-Tuition, a Remedy partner out of Germany). This solution has some design pitfalls (on the ARSXML side) that are proving to be a challenge to overcome. So we want to see what other options out there might exist. One thought that was brought up several years back with this customer was to design and build a solution on Remedy Web Services, transferring tickets through SOAP, Mid-Tier to Mid-Tier. I believe they had a design prototype back then, but I was not involved in it, nor does anything exist of it. Has anyone done this, or some other solution that they could share? Any ideas or input anyone has is much appreciated...
