AW: ARServer group and the ports that require load balancing
George, IMHO this is the relevant part of the documentation. Specifying plug-in server aliases (Step 4e) When you specify a common AR System server alias, AR System uses the alias name to connect to the plug-in server. When the AR System server is connecting to its local plug-in server, the connection will not be successful if the server name resolves to anything other than the local server. To route connections successfully in an environment where the server name resolves to a load balancer, you must define plug-in server aliases. The purpose of this step is to designate the local server as the host, not to change the name of the plug-in. To specify plug-in server aliases Add an alias definition for each loaded plug-in to the configuration file, using the plug-in name specified in the plug-in definition. Use the following format, substituting the alias name, plug-in name, host name, and optional port number: Server-Plugin-Alias: plug-in_alias_name plug-in_real_name host_name[:port_number] The AR System server connects to the plug-in server using host host_name at port port_number when the AR System server communicates with the plugin_ alias_name plug-in. Host host_name must resolve to the local AR System server, and the port number is specified if the plug-in server is listening on a particular port. The following definition is a typical example: Server-Plugin-Alias: ARSYS.ARDBC.REPORT ARSYS.ARDBC.REPORT myserver:2020 For more information about Server-Plugin-Alias, see “ar.conf (ar.cfg)” on page 248. We have a similar setup and solved this problem in a different way. We added the following line to /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 itsm.telekom.de itsm.telekom.de is configured as common server alias in ar.conf which is used to connect to the plugin server.

AW: SUBSTRC using 3rd parameter
Andreas, this is a known problem if you're using a non-English Client. Put a space after 0. SUBSTRC($Version$, 0 , STRSTRC($Version$, .)-1) The problem is, that the Admintool treats the second parameter as a number with a decimal separator and expects a number after the comma. So you can also write SUBSTRC($Version$, 0,0, STRSTRC($Version$, .)-1) If you were using an english client your decimal separator is a . (dot) and you won't have this problem This is what BMC suggests in the admintool help. Specifying arguments that use a comma as a decimal separator Specifying arguments that use a comma as a decimal separator (as is the case in a German locale, for example) requires special consideration for the following functions: * LPAD * RPAD * MAX * MIN * SUBSTR To specify an argument that uses a comma as a decimal separator 1. Use a hidden, read-only field, and assign a default value to it. 2. Use the appropriate field keywords as arguments. For example, instead of using SUBSTR($Character Field$, 56, 65) use SUBSTR($Character Field$, $Integer1$, $Integer2$) where Integer1 and Integer2 are hidden, read-only fields with default values of 56 and 65 assigned to them, respectively. The following table lists the functions you can use in a Set Fields action. IMHO this is a very crazy workaround for this problem.

Re: Upgrading to SQL 2005
Rafael, We're going through the same process now. We recently upgraded our development and test servers w/o issue, and plan to do the same on production late this month. No reinstall of the ARSystem is needed. Like anything else, it is strongly advised to perform a complete backup of your system in the event something goes wrong. And if you can perform the upgrade in a lab environment, this will give you a good idea of how long your outage time will be. Based on what we've seen, we're budgeting about a two-hour outage of our production server. Your mileage may vary.

I was able to use some temporary display only fields to do the work (since I didn't want to add any fields to the form) on the HPD:Help Desk form (plus a couple of filters) but when I tried to create a field in SRM to capture the data and pass it on to Incident, I got nothing but errors (ARERR 311 to be exact). So I worked with BMC to find out why. It turns out that not only do you have to configure SRM to use a specific field on the Incident form, which is fairly not straightforward, you have to update the HPD:Help Desk staging form (which sits between SRM and HPD:Help Desk) and update a Filter that pushes the staging form data to Incident. Needless to say, none of this is documented. And (shocker!) BMC doesn't even follow its own recommendations when it comes to staging forms or filter creation (they have the Matching IDs option for a reason). So, to make it less painful for the next person, I wrote it all up in a little document which I would like to attach to this post. But I can't.

We fought with them for months to get it on the bug list since it was intermittent problem. Here is the article from their knowledge base. It includes the defect tracking ID so you can keep up with it. Hope this helps. Tasks are not always going from Staged to Pending or Assigned. When this happens, unable to manually get the task's status off of Staged. Details Self Help Document ID: 20007471 Type: Problem Solution Top of Form Problem Have Change Requests with multiple tasks in sequence. Intermittently, some tasks will get stuck in Staged status. The previous task was closed, but workflow failed to change the Status of the next one in sequence to become Assigned or Pending. Attempts to manually change the Status in the task after this happens generates an error. In this situation, unable to work the task and close. Need help to get the Status corrected, off of Staged. Product BMC Remedy Change Management Application (version 7.0.03) patch 8 Environment Server: Windows Server 2003; Client: Windows XP; HW: Pentium Pro; Language: English-USA; Database: Oracle; Solution There is a hidden field associated with the TMS:Task form, State (10003019). This field must be set to Active for the task to allow a status change. For some reason, the OOB workflow has been found to intermittently fail in setting this. The exact cause is still under evaluation. The defect related to this is SW00316007. In-house testing of a simple active link which pushes the value of Active to this field for the task in question has succeeded in triggering the other OOB workflow to advance the status of the task. For example: One way to accomplish this would be to create a new form with a character field and a button. The character field is populated with the ID of the task that needs to be moved from Staged, expl - TAS13. Pressing the button will trigger an active link to search the TMS:Task form for the matching task record (a Push If action). When found, it will push to the field, State, a value of Active. This action should trigger the other out of box workflow to then change the Status of the task to either Pending or Assigned. NOTE: Be sure to have proper backups when trying custom workflow in case it is found necessary to restore to original state.

Re: AR Inside with 7.5

AUTHENTICATE PLAIN not working with Exchange 2007

Re: Word doc view
What may work better than using a Word doc is to use an html document or web page. It is lighter weight and a bit more standard that Office (users do not need Office or Office Viewer to see the text). Also you have better control over centering the text int the view field. A bit more advanced would be to dynamically build/manipulate the html based with record data. Then you could show a scrolling marquee, etc. Jason On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 12:19 PM, John Kelley john.kel...@dunkinbrands.comwrote: Hi All I have a view field that I would like to display a word doc.

Re: serialize webservice response error:The string '' is not a valid AllXsd value.
The .NET framework for working with web services creates a class that represents the web service for use in your application. Selection fields (or dates or other numerical fields) get represented by numbers, DateTimes, or enums which can't be null in .NET, because they are value types and not reference types. As a result, any time you try to retrieve a record that has NULL in one of those fields, you will get an error. The work around we found was to manually edit the WSDL after you create the web service and change the type of all of those fields to a string. String is a reference type and can be null, so you will no longer get the error. If you need to work with the values in the correct data type in your .NET code, you can convert the string to the desired data type after retrieving it from the web service and then work with it that way.

Re: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN not working with Exchange 2007
Well, on the Exchange 2007 server there is a setting under Server Configuration – Pop3 and IMAP – IMAP4 – Authentication tab – Logon Method that on my server defaulted to “Secure Login. A TLS connection is required for the client to authenticate to the server.” That is probably what your server has too, and when I monitor my aremail mailboxes from Outlook Express over IMAP, I have to use the SSL required checkboxes and SSL port in Advanced properties for the mailbox in Outlook Express in order for it to connect. I never ran into this with the sending mail client because I install Outlook 2007 and use MAPI, which uses a domain user for the mailbox, and the ARemail service actually runs under that same domain account. Outlook by default will make an encrypted connection to the Exchange server. The configuration on the Exchange server can also be changed in the dialog that I mentioned above to: “Plain text login (Basic authentication). No TLS connection is required for the client to authenticate to the server.” –OR- “Plain text authentication logon (integrated Windows authentication). No TLS connection is required for the client to authenticate to the server.” It looks like Exchange 2007 IMAP authentication can be set to two different plain text methods at the server-level, but your email admins will have to approve and perform that task. I have never had to change anything on the ARS side since I have always used MAPI with a mail client and mailbox profile installed on the AR server.

Re: Multiple AR Servers in Mid-Tier Config
OK, I see. If I were you, I'd be inclined push back. If I need to log into a specific server in the server group, I use the User tool. For other normal work, I use the normal mid-tier that everyone else uses which is just configured for the server group alias. If the only specific server they want to log into is the admin server, another option might be to stand up a separate mid-tier instance that is configured to only hit the admin server, then only publish that URL to people who should be allowed to use it. That way, you don't need to introduce customizations due to people wanting to connect to a specific server.

Overview Console Custom Forms
Hello Listers, I've read numerous threads regarding the SHR:OverviewConsole and how to add additional fields from the existing ITSM 7 application forms to it, but am struggling with trying to add my own custom form into the console. The desired result would be to see open requests that include the out of the box ITSM 7 forms like Incidents, Tasks, Infrastructure Changes, and my custom form. I created new entries in SHR:ARDBC_OverviewConsoleTemplate and field mappings in SHR:ARDBCFields. After I would restart the ARServer, I would get an RPC timeout regarding the plugin server. Removing my custom form entries resolved this. Has anyone else had experience with this?

Re: serialize webservice response error:The string '' is not a valid AllXsd value.

Re: Installing Secondary Server in Server Group
Hello, I am in the same predicament as you are now. I'm setting up a server group with a shared DB. Everything is working well, but I'm a little bit lost on what to do with the other applications.

Re: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN not working with Exchange 2007
Fred, Thank you!!! I added this to the debug file first, and it immediately received and processed the two emails that were stuck in the inbox. I sent another email to the dev server, added this to the emailstart.bat file and it worked too. However, when I send an email to the server (with the email engine running), it still gets stuck in the inbox. Even when I restart the email engine service, it stays in the inbox. I can run the emailstart (or debug) batch file, and the email is then received/processed. This is great progress… but any ideas on how to make this work all the time?? Another thing, and maybe I’m missing something….when I restart the email engine service, the stderr file is still showing Authentication failed error, but when I run the debug batch file, the error is not there ??

Re: Multiple AR Servers in Mid-Tier Config
Satya, That doesn't sound right. If your server group is set up right, the URL generated for the CI viewer shouldn't contain the name of the specific server they've logged into but rather the server group alias. I've never had a problem accessing the CI viewer when logged into a specific server in our server group. When you log into the different servers in your server group and look at the AR System Administration: Server Information form, you should see the same value specified in the Server Name Alias field on the Platform tab and the Server Group Name field on the Advanced tab. Both of them should be set to the name of your server group. Your ar.cfg file should contain something like this: Server-Name: server_group_name Server-Connect-Name: specific_server_name (e.g., hostname) Domain-Name: domain_name (e.g., mycompany.com) Server-Group-Member: T You may not need the Domain-Name line depending on your environment.

I'm not quite sure about Windows, but I think I remember coming across a whitepaper for this exact same thing. Sorry but I do not have it with me right now.

Tina Good morning, I am beginning to set up the second server that will then be configured in a server group. The primary server is up and running as follows: Windows 2003 Server Oracle 10 DB (remote) ARS 7.1 P6 - including email, approval, assignment, flashboards CMDB 2.1 P4 AIE 7.1 P4 ITSM 7.0.3 P7 SLM 7.1 P1 I have successfully installed ARS 7.1 P6 (server only) on the secondary server using the shared DB option. This is working as well. My next steps are the various other components: email, approval, etc. Sadly, I have found very little in the way of instructions on this. Some components have more than others...very inconsistent. My question is...does BMC or somebody have a comprehensive white paper or instruction set that addresses installation of the other components like email.

Re: Installing Secondary Server in Server Group
This is exactly what I needed. Thanks for pointing this out, Lyle. :-) The ITSM Installation guide does talk about installing the applications to a server group starting on page 52. http://www.bmc.com/supportu/documents/72/45/87245/87245.pdf Lyle -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of tina flores Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 4:37 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Installing Secondary Server in Server Group Hi Joe, I'm doing the install in Windows environment.

Problem with EXTERNAL() in search menu
Howdy, I have a problem using the EXTERNAL() operator in a search menu qualification. I set up my qualification like this: 'Status' = Active AND (EXTERNAL($536870930$)) AND (EXTERNAL($536870931$)) AND (EXTERNAL($536870934$)) Yesterday when I tested this, it worked. (At least, that's how I remember it.) Right now, when I open the same menu, the same menu's qualification now looks like this: ($7$ = Active ) AND (EXTERNAL('536870930')) AND (EXTERNAL('536870931')) AND (EXTERNAL('536870934')) Note that the single-quotes around 'Status' have changed to dollar signs (i.e. field ID for the current form), while my other fields' dollar signs have changed to single quotes. Obviously the menu no longer works as I had intended. If it makes any difference, the dollar sign fields refer to display-only fields on a display-only form. Note also that the exact same qualification works in a table field on the same display-only form. I have tried re-writing my qualification and saving it again, but now it changes every time I open it back up. Any ideas what is making this change, and why?

Re: Problem with EXTERNAL() in search menu
Bill, I think your qualification needs to be structured as follows: ('Status' = Active) AND (EXTERNAL('536870930')) AND (EXTERNAL('536870931')) AND (EXTERNAL('536870934')) Note: No Dollar Signs HTH Leonard Neely Column Technologies -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Bill Bookers Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 5:22 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Problem with EXTERNAL() in search menu Howdy, I have a problem using the EXTERNAL() operator in a search menu qualification.

Prod ARS 7.0.1 p006 cannot consume a webservice
hi all, we are having a critical Production issue regarding Remedy consuming a webservice and was hoping someone here can help us. we are using ARS 7.0.1 p006 MT 7.0.1 p006 AR Admin 7.0.1 p006 we have a filter that we created in a Dev server sometime ago that consumes an external webservice. this works just fine and now we are ready to move this filter to Production. we did and lo and behold, the filter does not work. no problems with permission, proxy settings and all, but we keep getting issues: 1) takes too long for the call to respond when the filter is fired. 2) when it does respond, we get either: a) timeout error on the database (the database takes too long to respond) b) ARERR [9130] An exception occurred from the WebService class : Unknown Error as a test, I created a filter that calls to a public webservice found in the BMC Developer Network http://ws.cdyne.com/ip2geo/ip2geo.asmx?wsdl and mapped the input and output fields to our test form in production. then I created a record on the form that fires a filter calling that webservice. I tested this same script in our devel server and I can consume that same webservice just fine. but errors out in production. our filter log shows this: Checking IP2Geo (500) -- Passed -- perform actions 0: Set Fields -- this is where the web service is called */Stop filter processing An exception occurred from the WebService class Unknown Error Error while performing filter action we did a arplugin log compare at both times and here's what we saw: we noticed that on our Dev, the line: FINE URL Auth User = null FINE URL Auth Password = hidden is not getting called (does not appear in the log), while in Prod this appears in the log. another significant difference is that when the web service is called, the logs show: DEV – it used ROOT as the element FINE soapInputDocument = ROOT xmlns=urn:IP2Geo xmlns:ns1=http:// ws.cdyne.com/IP2Geo xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema; xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; ns1:ipAddress206.190.60.37/ns1:ipAddress ns1:licenseKey/ /ROOT while in: PROD – there is an appended text “ns0:” before ROOT FINE soapInputDocument = ns0:ROOT xmlns:ns0=urn:IP2Geo xmlns:ns1=http://ws.cdyne.com/IP2Geo; xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/ 2001/XMLSchema xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance; ns1:ipAddress149.122.21.107/ns1:ipAddress ns1:licenseKey/ /ns0:ROOT can this difference be the root cause on why the exact same filter calling the same webservice on different servers (with the same ARS version, patch, OS, DB, Mid-Tier) is giving us different results on our Production server compared to our Devel server? does anyone have any idea on what could be causing this on our Production server? any help is greatly appreciated!!! ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: Where the Answers Are
