SLAs attached but not started .

2014-02-20 Thread Suresh Loganathan
Hi Team,

I am facing an issue with SLM.We have created the SLA for Change
Management. Here, the SLA`s are attached but not started.

Have written the qualification as

start- Change request Status = 3 ie., planning in progress.
stop- Change request Status = 4 ie., school dule for review.

Goal and Hours as 100 and 50.

Can you please help to fix this issue.

Regards,

Suresh Loganathan.

You can put a reverse proxy (Apache/mod_proxy, etc.) in a DMZ and have it
act as a middle man.
You can put a mid-tier/web server in a DMZ and allow it to talk to the
ARServer on an internal network.
I would not put an ARServer in the DMZ.
I would not expose an ARServer to the internet.

All,

It was a very strange hallway conversation. Someone put an idea out that using 
some magic with SSO and then they can have access to the system.

Currently the only access is internally, either local on our net or via VPN 
(and using SSO or a fixed password)

Also if someone knows of any doc that shows how to put (or the Architecture) on 
the safe way of pushing it out there, please let me know. Like maybe just 
pushing SRM.

Thanks,

Howard

Good morning, afternoon and evening all,

I just got asked if there was a way to access our Remedy/ITSM system outside of 
the corporate network, if there are no parts (i.e. mid-tiers) in the DMZ.  They 
are thinking that they can use some magic with SSO and federation to do this. 
We are using the JSS plugin (which is great) for our ITSM 7.6.4. system.

So my first answer is no, one would need to have a mid-tier (or even an 
arserver) on a box in the DMZ and then give a method to access that system or 
open a firewall port (not very safe).

However, as I get older I have started to ask if I might be wrong., maybe 
someone else has found a way to do this. So is there some method where one 
could access the system if they were not on the corporate network (and a 
firewall was blocking access to the system inside the network).

Also I remember a doc, that BMC produced, that showed how to build out a system 
that would have external access. So if someone has an idea what it might be. 
Let me know.
As always take care and be well,

Couple things -- using the login in the URL - is probably a bad idea.
(Multiple reasons)
(See my last post about poking around on MidTier)

Kinetic Calendar can do what you are asking:
http://demo.kineticdata.com/kineticCalendar/calendar?id=sample_scheduled_changes

Take the above URL -- put it in an iFrame ... smile. (Also will work on Mobile)

BTW - Kinetic Calendar can show any Remedy data in a Calendar - so some
good examples might be to show assets that are "expiring" this month, or
times your ITSM ticket has been touched or ???.

ADV Re: [arslist] Questing on accessing our Remedy/ITSM system outside of the corporate network

2014-02-20 Thread John Sundberg
One sort of "danger" in bringing midtier externally is that midtier can
give you a lot of access to things ... if you have the correct login.

If the goal is to expose "some capability" externally - you might want to
consider the most excellent software from Kinetic Data - where you have
full control of exactly what is provided.
Google: most excellent software from Kinetic Data
I just did that - it lists us #1 :)

So - say -- you want to expose the ability for somebody to "comment" on
their ITSM ticket they called in about -- and that is the only functionality
you make available ... you can do that with Kinetic.

Midtier makes everything available that you have permission to -- but
sometimes that is more than you want to make available.

Kinetic's approach is the opposite -- you only expose what you tell the
system to expose.

+/- for both approaches.

Come to KEG - learn about the Kinetic chewy goodness:

Party on!!!

Either within our DEV environment which we have just upgraded to SP5, the mid 
tier running Version 7.6.04 SP5 201401161615 Hotfix and within our Production 
environment running SP4 with mid tier running Version 7.6.04 SP4 201312261406 
Hotfix, when you open an Incident and go an expand any work notes created 
against that Incident we are seeing text encapsulated between html tags...

They are however not present in thw work info history.  Wasn't present before

Re: Questing on accessing our Remedy/ITSM system outside of the corporate network

2014-02-20 Thread Jason Miller
Yup, same here.  We had a little internal rift internally between a few
teems.  Team X decided that servers didn't need to be placed in the DMZ to
expose to the outside world; they would just proxy to the LAN via F5 load
balancer.  Team Y said no thank you, we should not have servers that are
exposed to the world inside the main LAN.  So it is possible but you may
need to consider if it is a good idea or even acceptable practice.

Re: FYI...SQL in Set Fields MUST begin with "SELECT"

2014-02-20 Thread Charlie Lotridge
Yeah, things start to get funny when you surpass the varchar limit
(typically 4000 chars) and head into LOB territory.  Maybe it had something
to do with that.

I've never used such a large query in a Set Fields, so I don't think I've
ever seen this issue.

Re: FYI...SQL in Set Fields MUST begin with "SELECT"

2014-02-20 Thread Joe D'Souza
I've once hit a limitation wherein a long SQL command (which ran perfectly
on the SQL client) didn't work within the SQL Set Fields action and returned
an error (do not recall what error as this was many years ago). So since
then I have tried to limit my use of SQL in Set Fields only if the number of
fields you are returning back are few. I do not know if this limitation is
now not an issue. If I recall right, I hit this limitation in a very early
release of 7.0 and I recall testing it on 6.3 and found that to be true on
that version too.

 

If I recall right, the limitation was not because of the number of fields
being returned, but the actual string length of the SQL statement.

Interesting, thanks for this info.

 

I suppose this could be what's going on, but I'd think it would be more
appropriate for ARS to error if the SQL violates some rules, rather than
operate as if the query returned no results.  It's misleading.  Also, the
documentation mentions nothing about any such rules.

 

That Jaspersoft doc mentions that the SQL "should start with SELECT" and
"cannot have comments".  And while Remedy seems to be adhering to the first
part of this, it's not adhering to the second: I was able to insert comments
both as separate lines, and at the end of lines, and it works correctly.

one before.  It turns out that if you're using SQL to pull data back for a
Set Fields action, it must begin with the SELECT keyword, or it won't return
any results.

 

For example, if you have a Set Fields with this SQL:

 

SELECT name

FROM arschema

 

it'll work fine.  But if you insert a comment before it:

 

-- Comment

SELECT name

FROM arschema

 

or even

 

/* Comment */ SELECT name

FROM arschema

 

the Set Fields will operate as if "No Request Match" (i.e. it'll display the
No Match error, or set the target fields to NULL, depending upon how you've

What's interesting here is that the SQL in these queries is syntactically
correct and they're submitted to the database by ARS without any error.  If
you submit the SQL manually (through SQL Plus or SQL Server Management

though, Remedy doesn't know how to deal with it if it doesn't begin with the

I only just discovered this because I was attempting to use a query
containing a WITH clause in SQL Server to create a Common Table Expression
to flatten out a recursive data structure.  Using the WITH clause, which
MUST be first in the query (and can't be contained in a subquery) is the
only way to do this in a single query.

 

Of course, the work-around is to create a view containing the CTE, which is
what I ultimately had to do.  It's just a less convenient solution.

 

Anyway, just something interesting I just discovered.

It also depends on what they want access outside the network.   If it is for 
employees (who happen to be outside the office) then they can VPN into your

I have a question for the LIST.

Can you bring up the 8.1 calendar from with a different web page, sort 
of like a web part. I tried to use the test drive BMC has, but it keeps 
coming up to the home page. Basically I just want ot have a link on a 
web page that brings up the calendar using a direct URL. I would verify 
this on our 8.1 but I do not have access to it yet. I would provide the 
login in the URL.

Re: Rif: Direct access URL used in email notification - AR 7.6

2014-02-20 Thread Jason Miller
In ITSM 8.1 I was able to make slight changes versions of both those URLs
work.

I wasn't able to get the first one to work with either the the field name
or field label (I didn't bother trying with URL encoded special charters in
field label attempt).  I changed the Incident Number reference to use the
field ID and it worked fine.

The second URL worked just fine when I put in our server info and an
Incident number that exists in our system.

That is fun and all but doesn't speak to your authentication issue.  Are
you already logged in when opening the URL?  Your existing session should
be used (unless you are in some kind of private browsing mode).  If you are
not already logged in then you should be presented with the login page and
once logged in be sent to the proper request (validated URLs this way too).

Just to confirm there are no issues going to
https://MidtierServer/arsysand logging in?  I am having thinking of
any reason why a URL without any
username/password parameters would throw an authentication failed message.

Re: FYI...SQL in Set Fields MUST begin with "SELECT"

2014-02-20 Thread Charlie Lotridge
LJ, the doc indeed does say that there's no syntax checking, and I did
chase it down the rabbit hole insofar as to do a SQL log to confirm that
ARS thinks it's submitting the SQL to the DB.  Just to make sure, I then
cut & pasted that same SQL from the SQL log and into a query window and
executed it - it worked just as expected.

Shawn, WRT stored procedures, the
docsays
"A
stored procedure with a Set Fields action executes all its commands but
does *not* return a value."  If your stored procedure returns a result set
you'd like to use in a Set Fields then, again, the solution here would be
to wrap the call to the stored procedure in a SQL view and call that.  And,
again, it's a less convenient solution.

 I use quite a lot of SQL in my workflow, yet somehow never discovered
 this one before.  It turns out that if you're using SQL to pull data back
 for a Set Fields action, it must begin with the SELECT keyword, or it won't
 return any results.

 For example, if you have a Set Fields with this SQL:

 *SELECT name*
 *FROM arschema*

 it'll work fine.  But if you insert a comment before it:

 *-- Comment*
 *SELECT name*
 *FROM arschema*

 or even

 */* Comment */ SELECT name*
 *FROM arschema*

 the Set Fields will operate as if "No Request Match" (i.e. it'll
 display the No Match error, or set the target fields to NULL, depending
 upon how you've got it configured).

 What's interesting here is that the SQL in these queries is
 syntactically correct and they're submitted to the database by ARS without
 any error.  If you submit the SQL manually (through SQL Plus or SQL Server
 Management Studio, etc), it works correctly and returns the expected data.
  Apparently, though, Remedy doesn't know how to deal with it if it doesn't
 begin with the keyword SELECT.

 I only just discovered this because I was attempting to use a query
 containing a WITH clause in SQL Server to create a Common Table Expression
 to flatten out a recursive data structure.  Using the WITH clause, which
 MUST be first in the query (and can't be contained in a subquery) is the
 only way to do this in a single query.

 Of course, the work-around is to create a view containing the CTE,
 which is what I ultimately had to do.  It's just a less convenient 
 solution.

 Anyway, just something interesting I just discovered.

Re: Email link server alias

2014-02-20 Thread LJ LongWing
I typically add it as a legitimate DNS Alias, although, for a Mid-Tier
perspective, the only thing that matters is that the Mid-Tier knows what
app server to connect to for that name, and that the app server knows
itself by that name...beyond that, it doesn't matter much if it's a dns or
a host file entry.

Regarding adding the old server name in, yes...by default this'll give you
duplicate entries (if you point the old name via host file to new app
server)but reading up on this article should help avoid this problem

the interesting thing is that what I remember of the docs state that Remedy
does no syntax checking of your SQL to determine if it's accurate, it
trusts you to do that.  And because of that, I must wonder if you traced

Re: FYI...SQL in Set Fields MUST begin with "SELECT"

2014-02-20 Thread Pierson, Shawn
Many organizations build stored procedures for complex queries that you can 
execute instead of plain select statements because that SQL may be shared 
between multiple applications and it's easier to maintain in one place.  Do you 
know if this limitation (that I haven't seen any documentation on) would prefer 
execution of stored procedures?

I think there are security requirements for web applications and one of the
requirements is to prevent SQL injection.  Not sure, but perhaps Remedy is
using something of this sort with the midtier.

I ran into something similar with iReports and Jaspersoft when I was

FYI...SQL in Set Fields MUST begin with "SELECT"

2014-02-20 Thread Charlie Lotridge
I use quite a lot of SQL in my workflow, yet somehow never discovered this
one before.  It turns out that if you're using SQL to pull data back for a
Set Fields action, it must begin with the SELECT keyword, or it won't
return any results.

For example, if you have a Set Fields with this SQL:

*SELECT name*
*FROM arschema*

it'll work fine.  But if you insert a comment before it:

*-- Comment*
*SELECT name*
*FROM arschema*

or even

*/* Comment */ SELECT name*
*FROM arschema*

the Set Fields will operate as if "No Request Match" (i.e. it'll display
the No Match error, or set the target fields to NULL, depending upon how
you've got it configured).

What's interesting here is that the SQL in these queries is syntactically
correct and they're submitted to the database by ARS without any error.  If
you submit the SQL manually (through SQL Plus or SQL Server Management
Studio, etc), it works correctly and returns the expected data.
 Apparently, though, Remedy doesn't know how to deal with it if it doesn't
begin with the keyword SELECT.

I only just discovered this because I was attempting to use a query
containing a WITH clause in SQL Server to create a Common Table Expression
to flatten out a recursive data structure.  Using the WITH clause, which
MUST be first in the query (and can't be contained in a subquery) is the
only way to do this in a single query.

Of course, the work-around is to create a view containing the CTE, which is
what I ultimately had to do.  It's just a less convenient solution.

Anyway, just something interesting I just discovered.

Re: Clearing data (set to NULL) in Asset Management

Thanks Lisa, I really don't have anything I'm reconciling through that data 
set.  I've got integrations but they are going through other datasets I've 
created.   The Sandbox really seems to be doing me more harm than good.

Chris,

You are correct that the Deter If NULL setting is causing this.  In my opinion, 
if you don't have anything that you are reconciling or
normalizing, I don't think you would need the Sandbox.   But someone may
have a different opinion in that area.

Re: Clearing data (set to NULL) in Asset Management

2014-02-20 Thread Janie Sprenger
Not sure it's because you have the Sandbox enabled but it could be due to
having a matching Recon ID record in a 2nd dataset.

Not sure which fields you are running into but I noticed there's workflow
that sets the Status back to Deployed when I set the status to Delete in
the BMC.ASSET dataset from the Asset form when there is a secondary dataset
that contains a matching Recon ID to the record I'm working on.

I'm on 8.1 and don't remember this happening in prior versions, not saying
it didn't happen - I just don't remember running into it.

I've also noticed that when I use the DSM dataset to automatically create
relationships for searches in the Atrium Core (this auto creates CIs and
relationships in the DSM dataset), then I definitely run into this problem.

Maybe do a search on Base Element with the Recon ID and see how many
matches you have.

RESOLVED: SQL Error when Refreshing Incident Console

2014-02-20 Thread Tommy Morris
Our Oracle DBA turned Plan Stability off and the error no longer returns. He 
said that we will leave Plan Stability off until Oracle fixes a bug in that 
utility but performance will be impacted because the queries will run 
erratically. I asked when they turned Plan Stability on and was told that it 
has been running for a long time with no issue. I am thinking that if there is 
a bug in the utility then maybe there have been issues with performance already.

Subject: SQL Error when Refreshing Incident Console

**
I am receiving "ARERR [552] The SQL database operation failed. : ORA-38141: SQL 
plan baseline SYS_SQL_PLAN_19c5fd83b7bfd1e7 does not exist" when refreshing the 
Incident Console. When the Console first opens and the table refreshes it 
returns the error, when I hit the Refresh icon it returns. However, if I select 
Open (under Incident Counts) then the table refreshes fine.
This is only affecting Incident Console and is present in both in User Tool and 
mid-Tier.

Re: EXTERNAL: Re: ARS 6.3 import question

2014-02-20 Thread Reiser, John J
Warren,
I tried it with the Data Import tool 8.1 and even though the CRs were not 
visible in the .csv file when viewed with notepad it imported multiple lines to 
the field in question.
So if an upgrade is in your future it looks like it will work then.

Thank you,

I would convert it to an ARX format

The difference between CSV and ARX is not that great.  In ARX the line break is 
\n in the text.  The separator is a space instead of a comma.  (and there is a 
couple of extra header lines)

I have been batting this around for a bit.  I feel like I've done this before, 
but I can't seem to figure it out.

I've got a .csv file that needs to be imported into remedy.  I'm using the 
arimport tool.

It's a straightforward file with one exception.  One row has a line break in 
each entry.  It is VERY important that this be maintained in the exact same 
format it is being entered.

For example, an entry may say:

"Functional  Role iPhone
 replace blackberry"

It must be placed into the field so that a check can be run against it in an 
attempt to find a previous entry.  The problem that I am having is that the 
import tool is treating the line break as the end of the entry.  It then jumps 
to the next line (replace blackberry) and attempts to treat it as a separate 
entry.

Any ideas on how I can handle this.  I suspect that the .xml format is my 
answer, if so, any idea how I can (easily) convert the file?

Thanks in advance!

Re: arserverd binding to 0.0.0.0

If done properly, the rpc port mapper could work on all interfaces for all
3 servers.  I say "could" because it's probably not been proven/done, but
in theory it should work.

You could setup redirection using iptables to achieve what you want. Each
server would effectively be listening on all ip addresses on different
ports, but the redirection would redirect things as desired.

https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/ars81/Installing+multiple+instances+of+BMC+Remedy+AR+System+on+one+computer

They don't indicate that you can't put multiple servers on the same server
into a server group...but I'm confused as to why you would want to.

If you want one TCP Port on one Server with 3 IP's, just install 1 server,
and it works like that.
If you want three different instances, all on one port for three different
IP's, you could do as was suggested with virtual machines, but you said you
don't want that.

I really can't fathom why you would want 3 installs on the same server, 3
different ports, and all pointed to the same DBcould you explain
further?

Re: arserverd binding to 0.0.0.0

Hi,

Today I tried that. 

If I install 3 AR Servers on one physical server on 3 ports connected to one 
database, it only works if they're not part of a server group.

If I add the 3 AR Servers in one physical server into a server group, the 
Remedy service refuses to start. Can you please suggest a way to handle this?

Hi List,

How can I make the arserverd executable listen on a given, specific IP Address 
and not on 0.0.0.0?

By default, arserverd binds to the interface 0.0.0.0. My RHEL 6.4 server has 5 
IP Addresses. I want it to bind only to one of the 5 IP Addresses that I 
mention in armonitor.conf.

armonitor.conf:
/apps/tim/ar/timw0/bin/arserverd.sh -s dc5chw-000 -i /apps/tim/ar/timw0 -l 
/etc/arsystem/dc5chw-000

In this line, the server name is mentioned as dc5chw-000. I want arserverd to 
bind only to this IP Address. How can I achieve this?

2014-02-20 Thread Narayanan, Radhika
Hi List,

Environment: ARS 8.1, RHEL 6.4

When I install ARServer, by default , the armonitor.conf gets placed in 
/etc/arsystem//armonitor.conf

Is it possible to move the armonitor.conf to a folder of my choice? The 
arsystem startup script appears to have a hard-coded reference to 
/etc/arsystem//armonitor.conf. Can I modify this to another path ?

Thanks

 Hi Pietro,







 you have to build an url

 like this in your email text,



 
http://REMEDYWEBPROD.intranet.servizi:8080/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?server=remedyprod.intranet.servizi&form=WRBorsaitaliana&mode=Modify&qual=%27Entry_ID%27%3D%22$yourtiketid$%22+AND+%27Cod+UO%27%3D%2207165%22








 In notify action you can

 also check the 'Web URL' option.

 da:"Action

 Request System discussion list(ARSList)"

 















 Hi Folks,



 I am currently trying to implement a hard link in an email

 notification to the



 incident number from a custom on submit response

 notification filter.



 Question:



 Can someone provide me with a working example that provides

 this



 functionality? Have a url link to an incident in an email

 response...



 I have tried the following on my server and I can get to the

 incident form but



 I can't get to the incident number.. as it tells me No

 matching requests (or no



 permission to requests) for qualification criteria. (ARWARN

 9296)







 Pietro.
