I don't know all of the details...but it has something to do with the name you have set as 'server name' and the methods used by the Remedy service to get the FQDN.

I've raised an issue with BMC. Now I've added the FQDN of the server in Mid-Tier AR Server registrations. But the same notification works fine in other environments (Dev & Pre-Prod). The WEB URL has got the server name instead of the ip address. Phani.

The short answer is that remedy uses it's 'fqdn' when doing these links, and there is no configuration option available to configure it, in your situation I must assume it's using the IP because it can't get the 'name.domain.com'....but in either case...you have no options to configure this. A 'workaround' to this problem was pointed out, and it ended up coming from our own Misi....but the work around is to write a filter on your AR Server Email Messages form with a qual of 'Plain Text Body' LIKE "%&server=<your problem value>&%" and have a setfield action similar to REPLACE($Plain Text Body$, "&server=<your problem value>&", "&server=<what you want it to be>&") I implemented this work around and it works very well....but I tried opening a bug on this, they gave the standard 'working as designed' spiel, so I opened an enhancement request to make it possible to specify the value in this URL...who knows if we will ever get this enhancement....so for the time being, I just have this in my 'bag of tricks'. Let me know if this does it for you. _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of HonnourPrahalladachar, PhaniRaja Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 2:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: WEB URL has IP Address in $SERVER$ ** Hi All, We have a small glitch in the ITSM 7 notification. The notifications from our ITSM 7 server is as mentioned below: < <http://mid-tierserver.com/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=NTE%3aNotifier &server=(IP Address of the Remedy Load Balancer)&eid=NTS000000396855> http://mid-tierserver.com/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=NTE%3aNotifier&; server=(IP Address of the Remedy Load Balancer)&eid=NTS000000396855> Link is expected to have the Load Balancer server name, but instead it contains the Load Balancer ip address. The hosts file in Remedy servers & mid-tier server have got the Remedy Load Balancer IP address mapped with the Remedy Load balancer name. One other thing is that in Mid-Tier configuration, Remedy Load Balancer Name is configured (not the IP Address) . If we access the URL using server= "IP address" of the Remedy Load Balancer it comes up with the message " the server is not registered".in those lines. The ServerName in the ar.cfg file is also mapped to the Remedy Load balancer Name. It will be helpful is anybody can throw light on this. We have AR service with the following configuration: ARS 7.1 Patch # 1 ITSM 7.0.3 Patch 6 Midtier 7.1 Patch 001 Windows 2003 Servers, SQL 2005 Phani.
