You may also need to run: PERFORM-ACTION-REFRESH-PREFERENCE <flag> Refreshes the preferences for BMC Remedy User. The flag options are: . 1-Saves all modified preferences from BMC Remedy User to the preference server, and then reloads from the preference server. . 0-Discards all modified preferences in BMC Remedy User and reloads from the preference server.

This is for infrequent users who do not have the WUT installed. They will have Floating licenses and access to a robust view of the form. Other users (customers) get a limited view for submit only of a helpdesk request. I have two arservers running on one Mid Tier server. I've configured the Mid Tier to use the production server as a preference server. Does that mean workflow on the development server will not update the User Preference record? Thanks, --- John J.

Are they native or Web, do you have your server configured to require a preference server and have that configured properly in your Mid Tier? -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Reiser, John J Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 10:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Run Process SET-Preference ** Hello Listers, ARS 7.1 Patch 004 MS SQL 2005 Midtier 7.1 I'm trying to control the VUI of a form using the User Preference form and $GROUPS$ keyword. I have two views (main and web) and a permissions group (HD Staff) that should see the "main" view. I have an Active Link that checks the $VUI$ = "web" and $GROUPS$ LIKE "%HD Staff%" on window open. The If action is a RUN PROCESS of PERFORM-ACTION-SET-PREFERENCE 20117 main. According to the docs this should change the keyword $VUI$ to hold the value "main" and push "main" to the AR System User Preference form for that $USER$. The second If action is an Open Window action in search mode with the View value set to Clear. This works as expected for opening the form in the proper view (VUI) but does not push the value "main" to the AR System User Preference form. I found the post from Doug Mueller calling out this process and decided to try it out. I was hoping this Run Process would be useful in updating User Preferences for certain groups and for the control of views when dealing with customers vs. staff entering requests. Thanks, --- John J.
