It's a secret patch only those in good terms with BMC
can have their hands on.

Ok, kidding. I don't know why this issue is not
prominently listed on release notes and patches
database, but I got it only after opening a ticket
with BMC. I hesitate to post their URL here, so if you
need the patch, please email me privately or ask BMC.
You can say you want "ViewLabelFix" patch for ITSM 7.

The patch comes in a zipped file that looks like the
strangest creature I have seen in a while. Whole bunch
of exe, dll, xml etc files. It uses the driver API
program and has aimport.exe and many other exe, dll
and xmls etc. The patch is triggered by a windows
batch file. Not knowing what this patch is doing, I am
very weary of applying it.

I will likely fix the issues manually. Create a new
view without "/" and change known Active Links that
reference the offending view to use this view instead.


And then hope that there are no more Active Links I
missed. If I do miss some, they will work ok on Remedy
User, because I will still have the view, but not on
the web.

Browsing the directory structure of the patch zip, it
appears these are the forms that are fixed:

CFG_Broadcast
CFG_Generic_Catalog_Setup
PCT_Product_Catalog_Setup
CFG_Service_Catalog_Setup

Interestingly, I don't see form
"PBM:KnownError/KDBAssoc Search" anywhere. This form's
view names are ok, but the form name itself has a
slash and doens't open properly in browser. Wondering
if they have missed other forms as well.
