Has anyone been able to tell whether or not this fix was incorporated in
Remedy Administrator 7.1.00 Patch 003 that came out this week?  The
xrefdll.dll says version 7.1.0.3 but created 9/3/2007, whereas the
hotfix version was 7.1.0.0 but its created date was 5/21/2008.  There
was no mention of this defect in the Patch 003 ReadMe document.

Subject: Sync Search Timeout Defect (UNCLASSIFIED)

All,

If you have ARS Version 7.1 Patch 002 of the Admin Tool, there is a
defect (SW00291500) with Sync Search. I worked with Remedy Technical
Support (RTS) to obtain a Hot Fix for this and it worked great. 

RTS tell me that if you encounter the same type of problem, a Hot Fix
can be provided. You will need to submit a Remedy Technical Support
Issue through SupportWeb to initiate. The Hot Fix I received is a new
copy of xrefdll.dll. This normally resides in the Admin directory on the
Thick client. They didn't want me to publish the .dll on the list at
this time. I think the .dll I received will work for most people because
my install is very close to OOTB.

The Symptoms of this defect are:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
1. You have full ITSM 7.0.3 Patch 007 and CMDB 2.1 Patch 002 installed
2. The Sync Search stops around a count of 42065. It completed Forms,
but it stops toward the end of the Active Links. It never gets to
Filters, Menus, etc. 
3. The Active Links it did finish do show up as you would expect under
the "Related Workflow" Tab of each field.

4. The arxref.log has entries like the following:
----------------------------------------------------
AR-XRef Version: 7.0
Removing previous detail and x-ref entries.
ERROR: ActiveLink: Business Time Segment-cmdSave_NewWithAssoc & refers
to field 98 in schema Business Time Segment; field does not exist
ERROR: ActiveLink: Business Time Segment-cmdSave_SaveModify & refers to
field 98 in schema Business Time Segment; field does not exist .
.
.
Could not find referenced schema $2000032$ on server
123.123.123.17.ERROR: ActiveLink: ReportSelection:RunAskExportFilename7
& refers to field 2000090 in schema ReportSelection: field does not
exist .
.
.
ERROR: ActiveLink: ASI:SHR:GenericSave_003_Dialog_NoSandBox & refers to
field 250000108 in schema ; field does not exit .
.
.
And many more of the same. 
-----------------------------------------------------

5. It also comes back with a specific error:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aradmin.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x7c168f1d" referenced memory at "0x0000001c". The
memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------

I just thought I'd share this because Sync Search is used everywhere. I
hope this helps someone out there. It was driving me nuts, because I was
always thinking there was something wrong with my computer.

Let's hope the new 7.5 Admin Tool has the same capability (without the
defect of course!).
