I know there was a defect released as a hotfix that resolves the hard return in 
the Title (which is being fed from the Summary).  I am not certain why it would 
work on the User tool though.  I suggest you patch your RKM install and see if 
the issue still exists.

I discovered a bug 
when using the Incident Management 7.02 integration with BMC Knowledge 
Management 7.2.
 
Not sure if others 
out there have RKM 7.2 but here is how you can replicate the 
bug:
 
1.  Open an 
incident in the Remedy User client that has at least one carriage return in the 
Summary field, Notes field, or Resolution field
2.  Click on 
the button "Create Knowledge Base Entry" on the Resolution tab of the 
incident.
 
At this point you 
should notice that the contents of your Incident are populated into the RKM web 
article window correctly.
 
Now follow these 
steps when logged into your Mid Tier:
 
1.  Open the 
same incident you opened before in the Remedy User client
2.  Click on 
the "Create Knowledge Base Entry" on the Resolution tab of the 
incident.
 
You should notice 
that the contents of the incident are NOT populated into the RKM web article 
window.
 
I was able to verify 
this with certainty.
 
It seems to be an 
issue with the REPLACE command used in the active link 
KMS:HD:Create_KB_Solution.
In this active link, 
there is a Push fields action that pushes to the KMS:DataExchange form and 
pushes xml coding and other data from the incident to a "Data" field on this 
form.
Inside the Value 
being passed to the Data field you can see there are various REPLACE commands 
that try to replace a carriage return with a "<BR>".
 
This workflow 
apparently works fine with a incident with carriage returns if fired from the 
Remedy User tool but not for the Mid Tier.
 
Am I going crazy or 
is this clearly a server or application issue?
 
ARS 7.01 patch

Mid Tier 7.1 patch

Management 7.02.00.1417
