Re: Open Window Action over Mid-Tier

2008-05-01 Thread Anesh A Kurian
Hi David,

 

Thanks for the input I shall try both the options. 2nd option sounds
more feasible, but if I need to have any On Open or On Close mapping
then I have to use Dialog option itself and this doesn't have Target
Location.

I shall keep you posted on the same.

Hi Anesh

 

I understand your issue.  This is similar to a situation where someone
has 2 sessions of the User tool running - opening a dialog on one does
not prevent access to the other user tool session.  I think you have 2
options:

 

1)   Implement some sort of workflow based record locking to prevent
the same record being opened twice concurrently.  This will not prevent
access to other browser windows, but should stop changes being made to
the same record.  Misi at RRR has an example of record-locking workflow

2)   Try to change your application so it only uses one browser
window.  There is an option for Window Open actions called Target
Location.  If this is set to New it will open a new browser window.  If
it is set to Current it should re-use the current browser window.  So if
you change the Target Location for all your open window actions to
Current, you should never have more than one browser window in use.

David,

 

Sorry I missed out on some more info. Yes when the Dialog opens the
parent window cannot be accessed. The scenario I have is a dialog is
opened and parent form is inaccessible now, but if there is another open
window opening a form from the dialog then the pervious parent form
becomes accessible. This is the case I am facing a problem with. Is
there any workflow or option where I can keep forms at various tree
level disabled till the most recently opened form is closed.

 

Thanks and regards,

Q: Underlying Specifics - Data Connection

2008-05-01 Thread Craig Carter
We've been experiencing an intermittent connection error for the past
couple of years and it is something we really need to try to resolve.
By intermittent, the application works great for everyone most of the
time but occasionally, the following error pops up:

 

Unable to set up a data connection, which is preventing the application
from working correctly. (ARERR 9351)

 

We're behind some firewalls and this pops up in a browser session while
performing a save and/or performing a retrieval of information.  Our
midtier is located a couple thousand miles away from our database server
and the midtier and database are set to use a specific port.  Our
assumption is that at that moment, there is a brief connectivity problem
that causes this-especially since it appears more often at certain
offsite locations that at others.

 

We have submitted a ticket to BMC since the error guide simply adds An
internal error occurred during a back channel request from the browser
to the mid tier server.

 

I'm basically looking for anyone who might have more information on what
underlying problem would cause this specific message?  What kind of back
channel request?  It is related to something specific that we could
possible code around?

 

Any ideas are appreciated.  I'll be turning on all of the logs and
looking for an answer but wanted to tap the combined expertise for
possible remedies...

Using Midtier v7.0.1 P5 as listed below (database and midtier on same
version).  Majority of users are using Internet Explorer 7.

 

The additional info in the error guide seems to indicate a problem
between the user's web browser and the midtier and not between the
midtier and database.  I'm having them clear their cache, cookies,
forms, etc, and checking their Java settings and Objects.

Thank you for your reply.  To answer your questions:

Re:What version of Crystal are the reports created in?

Re: Did you recently upgrade from a lower version of ARS?
Not quite a year ago we upgraded from 6.3 to 7.1

Re:What kind of a/l action are you using to initiate the reports, macro or open

Open Window.

Re: In tools/options/advanced do you have ODBC user Underscores  checked?
Yes

Re: Is the ODBC driver configured for ARS?
Yes. (Reports for other forms display OK.)

Re: Have you cleared cache?
We cleared the cache for the IT:Request form.  There isn't any cache for the 
reports.


Re: On the c drive in common files there is a business object folder that needs 
to be cleared (would have to check my notes, sorry for vagueness).
We don't have a C:\Common Files folder, but please tell us more.  This could be

Re: V7 ARDBC Vendor form LDAP query

This should work but you will need to use the global catalog port (3268 
IIRC) rather than the default LDAP port (389).  Also, when specifying the 
BaseDN in the plugin config form, start with a specific user and modify it 
via the vendor form properties later.  If you just point to the root of 
the tree you’ll probably get a timeout when trying to create the vendor 
form as the plugin trawls the LDAP server collecting data.

Re: Q: Underlying Specifics - Data Connection

2008-05-01 Thread Craig Carter
Thanks for the response Sean,

 

We are not running any load balancers.  We have two configurations but
the error occurs on both:

 

Web Server A (IIS 6, asp pages)   Web Server B (IIS 6, ServletExec,
Midtier)   Firewall  Database Server

Web Server A (IIS 6, asp pages, ServletExec, Midtier)   Firewall  
Database Server

 

This occurs even in the second example where everything resides on the
same web server.  I don't believe the firewall is a problem since both
of these configurations work fine for the majority of people.  They will
be using only one of the above during their session (no crossover).

 

The Remedy forms are running inside of iframes within asp wrapper pages
so people access the web site pages via IIS and those asp pages call the
Remedy content either via direct ViewFormServlet calls or jsp redirect
files within the iframes.

 

It may be a problem between IIS and ServletExec though and it gives me
something else to look at.  I may also have to consider testing with a
different Servlet.

 

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by connecting directly to
ServletExec since it resides within IIS on the default site?  I'm no IIS
expert so any recommendations on what settings to look at/tweak would be
helpful.

Re: Q: Underlying Specifics - Data Connection

Hi Axton,

This is actually all https and the web site is anonymous access
(standard IUSR account) so ServletExec should be available to any
request.  Wouldn't all requests to ServletExec come through using the
standard https protocol?

Also, anything that blocks an http request to servlet x will cause

Craig,
I was receiving this error in a very specific repeatable situation on 7.1
(no patch) when pulling up a search menu with  2k records in it, it worked
fine in the client, but Mid-Tier gave this error when we tried to open the
menu.  Support had me turn on servlet logs in the mid-tier config and found
errors when calling a specific servlet, etc, etc, blah blah, they eventually
provided Patch 2 (server, not mid-tier) that 'fixed' this issue, but by then
I had engineered around the problem, so I haven't experienced it since, I
doubt that it's your issue, but thought I would chime in..:)

Re: Q: Underlying Specifics - Data Connection

2008-05-01 Thread Axton
Protocol is irrelevant in the case I mentioned as the xss checker I
had this experience with checked the url, not the content itself.  the
environment I worked with was very different (iPlanet, WebSphere, SSO
via netegrity, load balanced mid-tier servers, solaris, etc.).  The
important point to note is anything that sits between the client and
whatever services the request can interrupt the request:
- web server
- web server plugins (security plugins, etc.)
- servlet container plugins (isapi plugin, etc.)
- servlet container

Chances are something in the stack is failing and/or blocking the
request.  Somewhere in the logs for each piece in the stack should
provide the source of the problem.  There is some limited debugging
you can do from the client side for these types of things.  Firebug
for Firefox and Fiddler for IE come to mind.  These can at least point
you in a direction to chase.

Re: V7 ARDBC Vendor form LDAP query

2008-05-01 Thread Walters, Mark
What do you have as your Base DN for Discovery?  If this is too general you may 
find the plugin times out and will not be available.  Set this to something 
very specific – the full DN of a user for example.  Once you have created the 
vendor form you can change the base DN via the form properties vendor 
information tab.

Re: V7 ARDBC Vendor form LDAP query

 






** 
This should work but you will need to use the global catalog port (3268 IIRC) 
rather than the default LDAP port (389).  Also, when specifying the BaseDN in 
the plugin config form, start with a specific user and modify it via the vendor 
form properties later.  If you just point to the root of the tree you’ll 
probably get a timeout when trying to create the vendor form as the plugin 
trawls the LDAP server collecting data.

Escalations crashing server....

2008-05-01 Thread Mark Rushton
Hi Guys

I am having some problems with escalations calling web services As 
soon as they are enabled they crash arserverd!!!

Running :-
ARS 6.3 patch 23
AIX5.3
Oracle 9.2

This escalation is calling an external (to the company lan) web service 
but I am having a similar problem with another one calling an internally 
hosted service. Initially I thought it was all Escalations but have 
narrowed it down to those that are either calling a web service directly 
or setting a flag for a filter to call a web service. This is happening on 
a new server that was cloned - I have had some issues with this anyway

I have run every single log I can think of but still found nothing 

Where else can I look?
Anyone got any ideas please?

Cheers

Re: Crystal Report error on particular form and particular PC

2008-05-01 Thread Susan Palmer
Hi Dwayne,

We had numerous people in the same situation as you did.  And it wasn't
across the board, they could run some reports but not others.  To me it
seemed that a report with subreports caused more problems but that wasn't
consistent either.

We upgraded from 5.1.2 so we had many a/l buttons that still ran on a macro
and that appears to be a problem so we've had to change the workflow to open
window strategy.

Even after we get the user working, periodically they start getting the
errors again.  I believe it is ODBC related.  And it is generally after an
application has been installed so there must be some .dll overlap.  Although
I cannot prove that theory out, we'll go with intuition.

When we have a user like that we do a removal of the C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Business Objects folder, clearing of all cache files (we have a cool
little program that does it that our new support provider TuringSMI
provided), complete uninstall / reboot / install, reconfigure the ODBC, make
sure all options are chosen correctly etc. and then it generally will work.
(well until the next time)

I had a ticket with bmc and that went no where.  After months of logging,
hoop jumping, doing it over and over on webex, the best they could recommend
was switching from macro to open window a/l's.  Sort of works but was not a
total fix.

I hope some of  this info helps, feel free to ask questions, I may have
forgotten something.

On the c drive in common files there is a business

We have this and similar problem periodically.  For
a while it was rampant.  Personally I believe it is
ODBC related since the installation of some little
non-related tool we use can cause running CR to act
up like this.

that at others.

 

We have submitted a ticket to BMC since the error guide simply adds An
internal error occurred during a back channel request from the browser to
the mid tier server.

 

I'm basically looking for anyone who might have more information on what
underlying problem would cause this specific message?  What kind of back
channel request?  It is related to something specific that we could possible
code around?

 

Any ideas are appreciated.  I'll be turning on all of the logs and looking
for an answer but wanted to tap the combined expertise for possible
remedies.

Hi Guys 

I am having some problems with escalations calling web services As
soon as they are enabled they crash arserverd!!! 

Running :- 
ARS 6.3 patch 23 
AIX5.3 
Oracle 9.2 

This escalation is calling an external (to the company lan) web service
but I am having a similar problem with another one calling an internally
hosted service. Initially I thought it was all Escalations but have
narrowed it down to those that are either calling a web service directly
or setting a flag for a filter to call a web service. This is happening
on a new server that was cloned - I have had some issues with this
anyway 

I have run every single log I can think of but still found nothing 

Where else can I look? 
Anyone got any ideas please?

I guess the point I was trying to make, but did a bad job of it was that
the error occurred as a result of an error with communication between
the Mid-Tier and the Remedy server, and the mid-tier logs showed the
error...:)

Thanks-I was just getting ready to turn max logging on and see what I
could find.  I can't duplicate it myself so I have to rely on someone
else to run the test each time I tweak something.

 

We don't have any large menus but there are some queries happening to
pull back the request id, etc.  The weird thing is this only happens to
some of the people some of the time and works perfectly fine for others
using the same exact workflow and forms (including me) which makes it
real hard to nail down.

Craig,

I was receiving this error in a very specific repeatable situation on
7.1 (no patch) when pulling up a search menu with  2k records in it, it
worked fine in the client, but Mid-Tier gave this error when we tried to
open the menu.  Support had me turn on servlet logs in the mid-tier
config and found errors when calling a specific servlet, etc, etc, blah
blah, they eventually provided Patch 2 (server, not mid-tier) that
'fixed' this issue, but by then I had engineered around the problem, so
I haven't experienced it since, I doubt that it's your issue, but
thought I would chime in..:)

We've been experiencing an intermittent connection error for the past
couple of years and it is something we really need to try to resolve.
By intermittent, the application works great for everyone most of the
time but occasionally, the following error pops up:

 

Unable to set up a data connection, which is preventing the application
from working correctly. (ARERR 9351)

 

We're behind some firewalls and this pops up in a browser session while
performing a save and/or performing a retrieval of information.  Our
midtier is located a couple thousand miles away from our database server
and the midtier and database are set to use a specific port.  Our
assumption is that at that moment, there is a brief connectivity problem
that causes this-especially since it appears more often at certain
offsite locations that at others.

 

We have submitted a ticket to BMC since the error guide simply adds An

If you are looking at group notifications in ITSM 5.5/5.6, I think they
are all generated from within the API, and there is no place you can
touch workflow that will affect that process.  I have not seen the error
you are reporting on users except where Full Name was identical, and I
don't remember if that was in a group notification or an individual one,
but we had problems with groups that had similar names, and had to add a
prefix to one to distinguish between them properly. BTW, watch out for
BMC Remedy developed code that tries to match on Full Name, ludicrous as
that seems (and is) - there is still code in ITSM 7 that tries to do
that!!

Re: Crystal Report error on particular form and particular PC

2008-05-01 Thread Jennifer Meyer
I seem to recall one of my clients experiencing something similar when I was at 
STI.  If I recall correctly, they had several versions of Crystal reports: 9, 
10 and 11 in their shop, and the workstations that were experiencing the issue 
had either multiple versions installed on their machine or had upgraded, 
causing an issue with a DLL file.  I recall BMC support sending me a file to 
replace the DLL with, but this was two years and three contracts ago, so I 
don't recall specifics, but you may want to look at the crpe32.dll.  I've seen 
a variety of problems with it over the years.

Hi Dwayne,

We had numerous people in the same situation as you did.  And it wasn't
across the board, they could run some reports but not others.  To me it
seemed that a report with subreports caused more problems but that wasn't
consistent either.

We upgraded from 5.1.2 so we had many a/l buttons that still ran on a macro
and that appears to be a problem so we've had to change the workflow to ope=
n
window strategy.

Even after we get the user working, periodically they start getting the
errors again.  I believe it is ODBC related.  And it is generally after an
application has been installed so there must be some .dll overlap.  Althoug=
h
I cannot prove that theory out, we'll go with intuition.

When we have a user like that we do a removal of the C:\Program Files\Commo=
n
Files\Business Objects folder, clearing of all cache files (we have a cool
little program that does it that our new support provider TuringSMI
provided), complete uninstall / reboot / install, reconfigure the ODBC, mak=
e
sure all options are chosen correctly etc. and then it generally will work.
(well until the next time)

I had a ticket with bmc and that went no where.  After months of logging,
hoop jumping, doing it over and over on webex, the best they could recommen=
d
was switching from macro to open window a/l's.  Sort of works but was not a
total fix.

I hope some of  this info helps, feel free to ask questions, I may have
forgotten something.

Hi Dwayne,
 
What version of Crystal are the reports created in?
Did you recently upgrade from a lower version of
ARS?
What kind of a/l action are you using to initiate
the reports, macro or open window?

We have this and similar problem periodically.  For
a while it was rampant.  Personally I believe it is
ODBC related since the installation of some little
non-related tool we use can cause running CR to act
up like this.

Re: Mid-Tier 7.1.00 Patch 002 - Performance

2008-05-01 Thread Mike Gould
Hi Michelle and Christopher,

Not sure if this helps but I'm also seeing very slow performance with my
development Mid-Tier 7.1.00 (No Patch) against our production ARS 7.0.01
Patch 003 server.

I performed the two following tests:

1.  Searched on HPD:Help Desk (Incident) using our production Mid-Tier
7.0.01 Patch 004 against our production ARS 7.0.01 Patch 003 server
Results list of 2154, selecting a record yields a lag time of ~2 to 3
seconds
Results list of 20, selecting a record yields a lag time of ~1 to 2 seconds.


2.  Searched on HPD:Help Desk (Incident) using our development Mid-Tier
7.1.00 (No Patch) against our production ARS 7.0.01 Patch 003 server
Results list of 2154, selecting a record yields a lag time of ~29 seconds!!!

Results list of 20, selecting a record yields a lag time of ~4 seconds.

I'll be upgrading our development Mid-Tier to 7.1.00 Patch 002 to hopefully
fix an unrelated CI Viewer problem but it doesn't appear I should expect
great improvements in the overall performance.

One other concern I have with Mid-Tier 7.1.00.00x is the black screen every
time a record is selected in the results list, at least when using XP/IE7.
Hopefully that's fixed soon since it's a major show stopper for me along
with the slow performance.  Although it sounds like that behavior
doesn't happen with Safari, which I think I'll be downloading now

 Safari changes Incident records in 1 to 1.5 seconds  Firefox is more

Re: Organizational classifications (ITSM 7.x)

2008-05-01 Thread Jennifer Meyer
This is the one I was alluding to:

I came up with one way last year that I thought was kind of innovative, and it 
fits the V/N/N methodology. It only works in conjunction with a Product 
Catalog, and works best when information about the user's Assets are available, 
but it goes like a question/statement from a user:
I need you to $Category 1$ the $Category 2$ on my $Category 3$.
I need you to Upgrade the Hardware on my Desktop.
I need you to Install Software on my Laptop.
I need you to Disable an Account on my Server.
The best part is that by keeping them very generic, the lists were only about 
5-6 items each, which made selecting them a snap. Specific details about the 
Category 2 OR 3 (whichever was considered to need the most detail) were 
contained in the Product Categorization fields.

Rick,

I've found what you refer to, but I think I'm not seeing the whole
conversation.  I see your reply to Tony:

I've been waiting for Remedy to say that explicitly in their ITSM migration
docs when they come out, but I suspect you're right.

Rick

I've followed that thread to it's end with Chris Rom's explanation as well.
I'm wondering if Jennifer is alluding to a more in-depth discussion that I'm
not seeing?

Thank you for all of your help.

Bruce

 Hello list.



 We have finally begun our upgrade from ARS 5.1.2/ITSM 5.6 to ARS
 7.1/ITSM7.0.  I am beginning the configuration of the new version on our
 development system.  I am at the point of creating the classifications and
 want to involve the groups that work the tickets to create the
 classifications they feel most comfortable with using, however I have been
 unable to find definitions or even examples of organizational
 classifications that they can understand or expand on.  Can anyone point me
 in the right direction to find decent examples or clear definitions that you
 may have used?



 Thanks,

Is there anyone have the same issue that I am having described below.?

We are in ARS 7.0.1 patch 2

OS Sun Solaris

Database Oracle 9.2.0.8.0

 

Every time we try to create a vendor form it's give me an error below

The AR System Plug-In server is not responding.  Cannot connect to the
system at this time.  Contact your AR System Administrator for assistance. :
RPC: Timed out (ARERR 8939).

 

I talked to our vendor whose suggestion was  to do the following below and
we have done all of it but still no improvement.

 

There are several ways to work around this problem. 

1. You can add the following line to the ar.cfg/ar.conf file:

 

Server-Plugin-Default-Timeout: 500

 

This increases the Plug-in Server timeout theshold. Although this may
prevent the ARERR 8939 from occuring, all it is really doing is providing
more time for the Plug-in Server before issuing the error.

 

2. Change the Page Size to something smaller like 1000

 

During discovery, data is returned from the LDAP database in chunks.

This is affectively changing the chunk size.

 

3. Change the BaseDN in the ARDBC LDAP Configuration form to someting more
specific

 

The BaseDN tells the Plug-in Server where in the LDAP database to start
looking for data. LDAP databases are organized in a tree structure.

Having a BaseDN near the root structure will mean that it finds all the data
contained within resulting in a lengthy discovery process. If a BaseDN
closer to the location of the data is used, then there is less information
to process and discovery is faster.

 

4. Don't use the Vendor form wizard to create the vendor form.

 

 

After this our vendor have suggested to upgrade the LDAP plugin to patch 3 .
still having the same issue.

 

 

Thanks

issue we may want not go directly to MT 7.1 on the new web server.

From: *Michelle L* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 10:17 AM
To: arslist@arslist.org


**
Hello, Friends:

Anyone else experience this slowness on Mid-Tier 7.1.00 Patch 002?.  It's
quite noticeable.

We've noticed an interesting thing on Mid-Tier 7.1.00 Patch 002 (on both
Apache Tomcat and Servlet Exec).
It doesn't seem to matter what if the version of the ARS Server is 6.3 or
7.1.0, the culprit seems to be this version of Mid-Tier (7.1.00 Patch 002)
When *selecting an item* from a results list of let's say 1000+ records, the
response time between record selections is roughly 6.87 - 12.18 seconds
When* selecting an item* from the results list of about 200 records (same
form), the response time between record selections is 1.02 seconds.
(Selecting an item refers to a single click on the results list)

For these we used SHR:People and performed a search using the same
qualification in each environment.

*I performed a search on SHR:People using a Mid-Tier 7.1.00 Patch 002
against an ARS 6.3 Patch 23 server*
Mid-Tier 7.1.00 Patch 002  ARS 6.3 (SHR:People)
Results list of 3300+, selecting a record yields a lag time of about  6.87
seconds
Results list of 73 , selecting a record  yields a lag time of 1.02 seconds

*I performed a search on SHR:People using a Mid-Tier 6.3.0 Patch 20 against
the same  ARS 6.3 Patch 23 server*
Mid-Tier 6.3.0 Patch 20 -- ARS 6.3 P23 (SHR:People)
Results list of 3300+, selecting a record yields a lag time of about 0.61
seconds
Results list of 73, selecting a record yields a lag time of 0.59


*I performed a search on SHR:People using a Mid-Tier 7.0.1 Patch 004 against
the same ARS 6.3 Patch 23 server*
Mid-Tier 7.0.1 patch 004 -- ARS 6.3 P23 SHR:People
Results list of 3300+, selecting a record yields a lag time of 0.53 seconds
Results list of 73, selecting a record yields a lag time of 0.50 seconds

*I performed a search on CTM:People (yeah I know its different) using a
Mid-Tier 7.1.00 Patch 002 against ARS 7.1.0 Patch 002*
Results list of 1000+, selecting a record yields a lag time of 12.18 seconds
Results list of 2, selecting a record yields a lag time of 1.87 seconds.

Every bit of this points to an issue with Mid-Tier 7.1.00 Patch 002, whether
it is pointing at a 6.3 server or a 7.1.0 patch 002 server.  And as I
mentioned before the behavior is consistent no matter what form's results
list we are selecting an entry from.

Anyone?
Thanks,
Michelle

** I guess so... when I open a list of all Incidents (726 records) and click
on any one of them, anywhere in the list, it blacks out - then displays the
record in 7 seconds consistently.  It was about 6 seconds on a returned list
of 1000 of the 142,869 records in CTM:People.

Did you measure faster times for mid-tier 7.1.00.001 or 7.1.00??  I'm not
sure that they were any faster, and even if they were, I need the corrected
Safari 3.x compatibility and persistent prefetch file that survives tomcat
crashes that are in patch 002 more than I need better speed.  It would
certainly point to something that needs to be improved in 7.1.00.003 or 004.

Re: Mid-Tier 7.1.00 Patch 002 - Performance

2008-05-01 Thread Frank Caruso
We are currently testing MT 7.1 p2 (Apache Tomcat) against a 6.3 sever
(Solaris/Sybase). Both Firefox and IE both are much slower than our
production setup which is MT 6.3 p2. Black windows and slow time moving from
one record to the next.

I would agree that Safari is by far faster than Firefox and IE on MT v7.1
p2. Minimal delay switching records and no black windows.

 ** Hi Michelle and Christopher,

 Not sure if this helps but I'm also seeing very slow performance with my
 development Mid-Tier 7.1.00 (No Patch) against our production ARS 7.0.01
 Patch 003 server.

 I performed the two following tests:

 1.  Searched on HPD:Help Desk (Incident) using our production Mid-Tier
 7.0.01 Patch 004 against our production ARS 7.0.01 Patch 003 server
 Results list of 2154, selecting a record yields a lag time of ~2 to 3
 seconds
 Results list of 20, selecting a record yields a lag time of ~1 to
 2 seconds.

 2.  Searched on HPD:Help Desk (Incident) using our development Mid-Tier
 7.1.00 (No Patch) against our production ARS 7.0.01 Patch 003 server
 Results list of 2154, selecting a record yields a lag time of ~29
 seconds!!!
 Results list of 20, selecting a record yields a lag time of ~4 seconds.

 I'll be upgrading our development Mid-Tier to 7.1.00 Patch 002 to
 hopefully fix an unrelated CI Viewer problem but it doesn't appear I should
 expect great improvements in the overall performance.

 One other concern I have with Mid-Tier 7.1.00.00x is the black screen
 every time a record is selected in the results list, at least when using
 XP/IE7.  Hopefully that's fixed soon since it's a major show stopper for me
 along with the slow performance.  Although it sounds like that behavior
 doesn't happen with Safari, which I think I'll be downloading now

  You piqued my curiosity enough to pollute my XP box with new installs
  of Safari and Firefox.  The results were almost the same as on the
  MacBook Pro, only Firefox was twice as slow as it had been on the Mac.
  Safari changes Incident records in 1 to 1.5 seconds  Firefox is more
  like 11 or 12 seconds. Even after flushing all of the temporary files
  from IE 7 it still hits at 7 seconds.  Go Safari!!

Re: Crystal Report error on particular form and particular PC - SOLVED sort of

2008-05-01 Thread Dwayne Martin
Hi Susan,

I should have mentioned a point that didn't seem important at the time, but 
turned out to be the key.  The user installed Remedy WUT as PC Administrator, 
but was running as PC User.  (Lots of our people are doing that as a security 
precaution.)

She did try renaming the Business Objects file, but it didn't help.

So she re-installed the WUT as Administrator and ran it as Administrator and 
the problem went away.  Probably the PC User didn't have permission to some 
folder or object.  Unfortunately, she has destroyed the evidence so I have no 
way of tracking down the problem.

Thank you for your suggestions and info.  I'll keep a copy of your emails in 
case this happens again.

Dwayne

   Hi Dwayne,

   We had numerous people in the same situation as you
   did.  And it wasn't  across the board, they could
   run some reports but not others.  To me it seemed
   that a report with subreports caused more problems
   but that wasn't consistent either.

   We upgraded from 5.1.2 so we had many a/l buttons
   that still ran on a macro and that appears to be a
   problem so we've had to change the workflow to open
   window strategy.

   Even after we get the user working, periodically
   they start getting the errors again.  I believe it
   is ODBC related.  And it is generally after an
   application has been installed so there must be some
   .dll overlap.  Although I cannot prove that theory
   out, we'll go with intuition.

   When we have a user like that we do a removal of the
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects
   folder, clearing of all cache files (we have a cool
   little program that does it that our new support
   provider TuringSMI provided), complete uninstall /
   reboot / install, reconfigure the ODBC, make sure
   all options are chosen correctly etc. and then it
   generally will work. (well until the next time)

   I had a ticket with bmc and that went no where. 
   After months of logging, hoop jumping, doing it over
   and over on webex, the best they could recommend was
   switching from macro to open window a/l's.  Sort of
   works but was not a total fix.

   I hope some of  this info helps, feel free to ask
   questions, I may have forgotten something.

The AR System Plug-In server is not responding.  Cannot connect to the
system at this time.  Contact your AR System Administrator for
assistance. :
RPC: Timed out (ARERR 8939).

 

I talked to our vendor whose suggestion was  to do the following below
and
we have done all of it but still no improvement.

 

There are several ways to work around this problem. 

1. You can add the following line to the ar.cfg/ar.conf file:

 

Server-Plugin-Default-Timeout: 500

 

This increases the Plug-in Server timeout theshold. Although this may
prevent the ARERR 8939 from occuring, all it is really doing is
providing
more time for the Plug-in Server before issuing the error.

 

2. Change the Page Size to something smaller like 1000

 

During discovery, data is returned from the LDAP database in chunks.

This is affectively changing the chunk size.

 

3. Change the BaseDN in the ARDBC LDAP Configuration form to someting
more
specific

 

The BaseDN tells the Plug-in Server where in the LDAP database to start
looking for data. LDAP databases are organized in a tree structure.

Having a BaseDN near the root structure will mean that it finds all the
data
contained within resulting in a lengthy discovery process. If a
BaseDN
closer to the location of the data is used, then there is less
information
to process and discovery is faster.

 

4. Don't use the Vendor form wizard to create the vendor form.

 

 

After this our vendor have suggested to upgrade the LDAP plugin to patch
3 .
still having the same issue.

 

 

Thanks

Has JAVA been upgraded recently? We are running 6.3 here and upgraded JAVA
and had a similar error, where the Plug-in wouldn't start. It actually
cleared the configuration in the AREA LDAP form. We installed the earlier
version of JAVA and it fixed the issue.

SLM Status not changing when using HPD:IncidentInterface_Create

2008-05-01 Thread William Rentfrow
Vital Stats:
AR Server 7.1 patch 001 for Solaris
IM 7.03
SLM 7.1
 
We have a small custom integrations.  Some filters fire on the AR System
Email Messages and push data to a staging form.  This form then formats
the data and uses the HPD:IncidentInterface_Create to create the
Incident.
 
This all works well.  It's simple, fast and reliable.  However, now
we've added SLM in the mix.  When the Incident is created the Service
Targets attach to the Incident correctly but for some reason the SLM
Status field never gets updated.  It is stuck at No Service Target
Assigned.
 
Is there something special you have to do to get the SLM module to work
correctly when using HPD:IncidentInterface_Create?  I haven't found any
documentation dealing with this...

Re: SLM Status not changing when using HPD:IncidentInterface_Create

2008-05-01 Thread strauss
That might be an error in the so-called integration between SLM and
your version of Incident Mgmt, or in how your service targets are
defined versus your customers.  We are creating our Incidents through
Kinetic Request, which uses HPD:IncidentInterface_Create to generate
requests, and as long as the customer selected for the Incident is one
for whom a service target is active (in our case, the UNT Customer
company), the service targets are attaching and the SLM Status is
correct.  It is normal for Incidents created with a support staff
customer account (from one of the over 20 operational companies) to have
No Service Target Assigned since no service targets are active for
those companies.

 

As a side note, since the Kinetic request generated incidents are set to
Reported Source = Web, they are left at Response = No and the Incident
Response service target remains active. Using one of several other
reported sources, including the default of Phone (I think - we changed
it), will cause a new incident to be created as already Responded, and
that service target as met on Submit. We changed the default to Other,
which has the same effect as Web.

I do not know of any products for integrating Remedy and Lawson.  We have
built our own integrations in house.  Remedy automatically create accounts
for self service users (this is probably more of the Lawson HR piece
though).  Remedy creates a csv file and uses sftp to upload it to the Lawson
server.  From there they have a job on the Lawson server that processes the
files and creates the accounts.

We are also in the beginning stages of integrate Remedy, Lawson and a custom
software ordering intranet page to automate ordering of approved software.
Since we are still in the planning phases I don't have many details
regarding this integration at this time.

What is it you are looking to accomplish from this integration?

Re: Remedy Integration Available ?

2008-05-01 Thread Gidd
Jason,
 
From what I am told, the latest version of Lawson supports XML so if this is
the case I may have
a solution for my client.  They are looking to potentially integrate Lawson
and Asset Ordering/PO 
processes to/from our  mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] solution 
but nothing firm
yet and still in a planning stage.
 
I also tripped over Cast Iron Systems (appliance) that has hardware/firmware
that provides an 
integration point.  http://www.castiron.com/integration-solutions/lawson/
Just wondering if anyone
has used this ?
 
Thanks for the help.
 
 
Regards...Gidd

Hi Guys 

I am having some problems with escalations calling web services As
soon as they are enabled they crash arserverd!!! 

Running :- 
ARS 6.3 patch 23 
AIX5.3 
Oracle 9.2 

This escalation is calling an external (to the company lan) web service
but I am having a similar problem with another one calling an internally
hosted service. Initially I thought it was all Escalations but have
narrowed it down to those that are either calling a web service directly
or setting a flag for a filter to call a web service. This is happening
on a new server that was cloned - I have had some issues with this
anyway 

I have run every single log I can think of but still found nothing 

Where else can I look? 
Anyone got any ideas please? 

Cheers

** 

That might be an error in the so-called integration between SLM and
your version of Incident Mgmt, or in how your service targets are
defined versus your customers.  We are creating our Incidents through
Kinetic Request, which uses HPD:IncidentInterface_Create to generate
requests, and as long as the customer selected for the Incident is one
for whom a service target is active (in our case, the UNT Customer
company), the service targets are attaching and the SLM Status is
correct.  It is normal for Incidents created with a support staff
customer account (from one of the over 20 operational companies) to have
No Service Target Assigned since no service targets are active for
those companies.

 

As a side note, since the Kinetic request generated incidents are set to
Reported Source = Web, they are left at Response = No and the Incident
Response service target remains active. Using one of several other
reported sources, including the default of Phone (I think - we changed
it), will cause a new incident to be created as already Responded, and
that service target as met on Submit. We changed the default to Other,
which has the same effect as Web.

AR Server 7.1 patch 001 for Solaris

IM 7.03

SLM 7.1

 

We have a small custom integrations.  Some filters fire on the AR System
Email Messages and push data to a staging form.  This form then formats
the data and uses the HPD:IncidentInterface_Create to create the
Incident.

 

This all works well.  It's simple, fast and reliable.  However, now
we've added SLM in the mix.  When the Incident is created the Service
Targets attach to the Incident correctly but for some reason the SLM
Status field never gets updated.  It is stuck at No Service Target
Assigned.

 

Is there something special you have to do to get the SLM module to work
correctly when using HPD:IncidentInterface_Create?  I haven't found any
documentation dealing with this...

Re: V7 ARDBC Vendor form LDAP query






What do you have as your Base DN for Discovery?  If this is too general 
you may find the plugin times out and will not be available.  Set this to 
something very specific – the full DN of a user for example.  Once you 
have created the vendor form you can change the base DN via the form

** 
This should work but you will need to use the global catalog port (3268 
IIRC) rather than the default LDAP port (389).  Also, when specifying the 
BaseDN in the plugin config form, start with a specific user and modify it 
via the vendor form properties later.  If you just point to the root of 
the tree you’ll probably get a timeout when trying to create the vendor 
form as the plugin trawls the LDAP server collecting data.

Mid-Tier 7.0.1 patch 005.
All that is displayed when a report is run is:

Re: Remedy Integration Available ?

2008-05-01 Thread William H. Will Du Chene
I dunno... Getting cuffed along side of the melon just plain smarts -
unless, of course, you're Klingon and sharpen the fangs by hand because
you think that pain is fun. :-p

Now if you had mentioned something about chowing down an animal that went
'moo', optionally has grill marks and is preferably still bleeding a
bit...




 Slapped could be good ;)
 FYI - MN people -- care to get together for a Sushi lunch some time - just
 for fun?

 Email me if interested.

 I don't have an integration for Lawson - but their headquarters are
 about
 400 yards away -- I could go ask the receptionist :)

Re: Timezone info in date/time fields

2008-05-01 Thread PARIJ, Arkadi (Arkadi)
Hi Fred,

Thanks for your reply.

However, my question is more related to the display format of the
date/time field and whether it is possible to include not only date and
time information but timezone of the client as well.

 

Regards,

 

Arkadi

No, because the date and time are displayed in the timezone of the
person viewing the data.

 

i.e.  A person viewing the diary data in New York would see (assuming a
5 hour offset from your GMT examle ;)

Hi All,

Is there a way to configure WUT to set the date/time format to include
the timezone information?

 

For example, currently the timestamp and user name in a Diary field are
displayed as follows:

04/10/2008 14:36:20 AR_ESCALATOR

 

The preferred format would be:

04/10/2008 14:36:20 GMT AR_ESCALATOR

 

Thanks.

 

Arkadi

OC LA RUG - Save the Date - June 12, 2008

2008-05-01 Thread Cindy Harrison
Please note the date shoud be June 12.  My original message said June 6 in
the subject area.

Thank you!

Hello OC LA RUG Members:

This is just a short note to advise you that we are currently planning our
next meeting for June 12, 2008.  We are still finalizing the presentation
schedule, and wanted to poll all of you to find out what type of
presentations you would be interested in attending at the next meeting.

One option that has been discussed is that one of our active members has
recently rolled out Remedy Service Desk and Change Management v7.  Would
any other members be interested in learning how they were to bridge the
gap between the IT and the business?

If not that topic, do any of you have a topic that you would like to
present to the group?

Also, does anyone have a particular vendor that they would like to jsbr
present?

Please let me know before May 9, so that there is time to arrange the
meeting.

Best Regards,

Cindy Harrison

Re: Timezone info in date/time fields

2008-05-01 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi!

Diary-dates and any date/time-field is stored timezone agnostic. The
timezone on the cliend decides how it is displayed.

If you store the date/time in a character fields on the client (using an
Active Link), it will keep the local time. The time-field should work in
the same way.

If you store the hour-portion in an integer-field, you may be able to
calculate the time difference between the client and the server using
filters. I have not tried it myself thought.

Active-Link:
  Set-Fields:
ClientModifyDateTime = $TIMESTAMP$
  Set-Fields:
ClientModifyHour = HOUR($ClientModifyDateTime$)
Filter:
  Set-Fields:
ServerModifyHour = HOUR($ClientModifyDateTime$)
  Set-Fields:
ClientTimezoneOffset = $ServerModifyHour$ - $ClientModifyHour$
Filter: ('ClientTimezoneOffset' = -12)
  Set-Fields:
ClientTimezoneOffset = $ClientTimezoneOffset$ + 24

Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se/sv/
