ARListers:

We've recently upgraded from the following:
ARSystem 7.1.00 Build 200708221849
Atrium 2.1.00 Patch 5
AIE 7.1.00 Patch 006
Asset Mgmt 7.0.03
OS - MS Windows Server 2003 Std Edition SP2
DB - MS SQL Server 9.0.5266

To the following:
ARSystem 7.6.04 Patch 4
Atrium 7.6.04 Patch 4
AIE 7.6.04 Patch 4
Asset Mgmt 7.6.04 Patch 4
OS - MS Windows Server 2008 R2 Std
DB - MS SQL Server 10.50.4270

When we performed the upgrade, we performed many steps, but in simple terms, we 
installed ARSystem, then a couple of patches of Asset to enable the 
installation of Atrium, then Atrium, then Asset Mgmt, and then, because AIE 
didn't work correctly (fields were missing on the EIE:MappingInfo form), BMC 
Support directed us to uninstall and reinstall just AIE.  After we did that, 
data exchanges seemed to work, and most of them still do, but unfortunately, 
all relationship data exchanges where we do not Restrict to DatasetId in the 
mapping do not work.  

The following is an excerpt from the log showing normal counts (when it was 
running before the upgrade):
[Tue Apr 23 2013 20:39:33.4100] - <TID: 001> <STATE > Session statistics: 
Relationship class requests: 3077, Class1-Class2 requests: 3707
[Tue Apr 23 2013 20:39:33.4100] - <TID: 001> <STATE > Session statistics: 
Requests added: 0, updated: 3076, deleted: 1, errors: 0, warnings: 0

The following is an excerpt from the first run of this same exchange after the 
upgrade:
[Thu May 02 2013 08:10:26.2530] - <TID: 001> <STATE > Session statistics: 
Relationship class requests: 6152, Class1-Class2 requests: 3597, ByPassed: 0 
Class1 Records
[Thu May 02 2013 08:10:26.2530] - <TID: 001> <STATE > Session statistics: 
Requests added: 0, updated: 0, ByPassed: 0, deleted: 6152, errors: 0, warnings: 
0 ,ignored: 0

The following is an excerpt from the next run of that same exchange (all 
subsequent runs have similar counts):
[Mon May 06 2013 13:09:06.1220] - <TID: 001> <STATE > Session statistics: 
Relationship class requests: 0, Class1-Class2 requests: 3610, ByPassed: 0 
Class1 Records
[Mon May 06 2013 13:09:06.1220] - <TID: 001> <STATE > Session statistics: 
Requests added: 0, updated: 0, ByPassed: 0, deleted: 0, errors: 0, warnings: 0 
,ignored: 0


I've entered an issue with BMC, but they/we still can't determine what to do to 
get exchanges like this to work.  I did spend some time with an Atrium expert 
on a webex, and he explained that we're not doing things the way he would do 
them, but it would be a significant change to our design.  Our goal is to 
somehow get these data exchanges to work, but he didn't have an explanation for 
this immediate issue.  He did say, maybe that having the data on a flat file 
than in a database table might help.  I did try that, but unfortunately, got 
the same results (did not create the relationships).  

Mapping details:
Relationship source = External Data Store
Direction = External Data into CMDB
External Data Store = SqlServer
Table Name = dbo.Application_Server
Restrict to DatasetId = NULL
If a record is deleted from source = Mark as deleted
Namespace = BMC.CORE
Relationship Class Name = BMC_Dependency
Primary Class = BMC_ComputerSystem
Secondary Class = BMC_Application


If anyone has encountered similar behavior, please let me know what you did to 
fix it.  I can supply more details.  

Thanks!
