Hi Fred,
Yes, you're so right. Only, in our case, the client is not willing to create 3
virtual RHEL instances from the physical server. They give a reason that their
vendor support costs will then become three-fold.

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

Hi,

If I install 3 AR Servers on one physical server on 3 ports connected to one

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.

If done properly, the rpc port mapper could work on all interfaces for all

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.

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:
*SEL
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.

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 suc

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

Yeah, things start to get funny when you surpass the varchar limit

It was a very strange hallway conversation. Someone put an idea out that using

You can put a reverse proxy (Apache/mod_proxy, etc.) in a DMZ and have it

You can put a mid-tier/web server in a DMZ and allow it to talk to the

I would not put an ARServer in the DMZ.
I would not expose an ARServer to the internet.
