Yup :-) I think that was when I first learnt the use of archgid..
Unfortunately we found it out at a customer that didn't have a separate
development server.. Fortunately for them though, they had very few
customizations that were lost and were able to redo it within a few days..
And they still didn't bother to invest in a development server after that..
Go figure..

David,
There was one version, I think when moving from 4 to 4.5 or somewhere
thereabouts, where Remedy Engineering accidently used the starting
non-reserved range 536,xxx,xxx that messed up some customizations that were
done using that starting non reserved field ID's. Since that time my
personal preference was never to use that, even if it is a trim field (line,
box, text) you are creating.. Until then I happily used that range for those
kind of fields. With the introduction of shared workflow, choosing your
field ID's became even more important even for some trim fields like text
fields..
So my personal preference was to use the 800,xxx,xxx to 999,999,999 range
but I see nothing wrong with starting from 600,xxx,xxx...
Choosing this higher number deliberately, you can almost guarantee yourself
that an accidental intrusion by BMC Softwares engineers on the 536,xxx,xxx
in any future patches or releases will not impact your customization.. There
is hardly a chance they would use the 600,xxx,xxx to 999,999,999 range
deliberately..
Cheers
Joe

Is starting at 600,000,000 just a convention people in the ARS community
have chosen, or is there a real risk of running into a problem by starting
at the 536,xxx,xxx range the system will use by default if you're creating a
new form?
According to KA315200, a field range of 536870913 to 2147483647 can be used
for ARS 7.1 and 7.5.

"I seem to recall that 600,000,000 to 999,999,999 is reserved for custom

We roll our own and use that range.

Yeah, I meant 600 million. I still have trouble counting to 5 so numbers
larger
than that stump me. :)

Huh. I suspect it's the number of digits in your ID that's causing the
issue. I
seem to recall that 600,000,000 to 999,999,999 is reserved for custom
development. Field IDs 599,999,999 and below are for BMC's use, but I
don't
recall anything about using IDs above 1,000,000,000.

Subject: "Outside of Reserved Range" warning?
Hello Listers,
ARS 7.6.03
MS SQL Server 2005
VMWare Windows 2003 Enterprise
I've been working in the Dev Studio for a while and I keep getting the
following response when I create fields.
"You have specified an id for the following fields which is outside the
BMC
reserved range. Do you want to continue?"
I could see a warning for creating a field inside the range of reserved
field ids
but outside?
Is there a config setting in Dev Studio to stop this message?
The field ids that I use are all between 1,587,700,000 and 1,587,711,199
Thanks,
---
