The code was not lost - it was transferred to others within BMC. However, I don't know that those individuals watch the ARSList. I'll softly suggest that they consider doing so.

He has been pretty responsive in the past to issues brought up. Might want to go through the BMCDN, though, as he probably monitors that more than the ARSList.

Note, however, that the .NET API is not officially supported, so you will probably need to contact the actual developer of the API rather than BMC. I believe it is a BMC employee, so your e-mail will still go to BMC, but you would not go through the normal support channel. I believe the developer contact information is included with the readme or similar that is included with the download.

I would suspect there is a bug in the api. But to troubleshoot this I would modify the program to pull a single 'sample' AL instead of all of them....this sample would be a copy of one of the ones it's having problems with. Then I would start making basic mods to the al, remove the run if qual, change its fire on conditions, remove actions one at a time, etc till I found the offending item. Then I would strip the AL down to just that condition causing the fault and submit a ticket to BMC (or the support structure that supports the VB API, if any) listing the code used and a def of the object causing the issue..... I have had to do this SEVERAL times for the Java API...it typically takes them 2-3 patches before they actually fix the API bugs, but they do typically eventually get fixed....till then you hafta modify your program to avoid the many potholes laying around. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG<mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG>] On Behalf Of Grooms, Frederick W Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 9:36 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG<mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> Subject: Re: ARAPI.NET<http://arapi.net/> 7.5.xxx Sending this for Paul ...
