Re: REstrict user to certain forms

2009-04-07 Thread Jarl Grøneng
You should not use active links to restrict access to forms, since
active links run on the clients.

Use the already implemented permissions methods in Remedy like groups,
permissions on fields and forms, and so one...

Jarl

 Listers,



  I would like to restrict a user to only certain forms on a server
 without having to write an AL for every form to check the user.  I would
 want this user to be a restricted read.  Any suggestions ?

 Thanks,

AW: ARServer group and the ports that require load balancing

2009-04-07 Thread Conny Martin
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.

** Guys,

Wondering if you can help me out.

We've got an issue with the Plug-in server running within a high available 
environment of Remedy (2 Midtiers, 2 AR Servers, 2 DB Servers) with each tier 
separated by a firewall.   There is one load balancer in front of the midtier 
servers and another in front of the AR Servers.   So, basically the AR Servers 
are running within a Server Group.

When we try to open up a Remedy form, such as the Server Information form, we 
get an error saying : 

ARERR [8939] The AR System Plug-In server is not responding. Cannot connect to 
the system at this time. Contact your AR System Administrator for assistance. :

Currently the only port that is load balanced is the TCP port that the users 
access the AR Servers by.

Should we also need to load balance the Plug-In port? (9000)?

All help is appreciated.

You probably need to review the BMC documents about plugins behind a VIP

SUBSTRC using 3rd parameter

2009-04-07 Thread Andreas Munch
Hey everyone

ARS 6.03.00
MSSQL 2005

Problem:

Actually this proberbly is a novice question, but...

I'm trying to remove the .'s from the ARS Version information, pushing it to 
a Form containing users client version. This version information comes as a 
string eg. 6.03.00 or 7.1.00. For comparison of client versions I need to 
remove the .'s from then string ending up with only digits which I then can 
assign to an integer field.

I'm using then command (for the first part) SUBSTRC($Version$, 0, 
STRSTRC($Version$, .)-1) but are getting an error message as: Unexpected 
character (ARERR 2291) zIntVersionMajor  [Assign line error at position 29]. 
If I'm trying to only provide the two first parameters I'm not getting the 
error message, but the third one is the error trigger. Trying to do other stuff 
it seems like I'm not allowed to use the 3rd parameter.

What can be then mistake I'm doing while using the SUBSTRC function with all 3 
parameters causing then error message?

AW: SUBSTRC using 3rd parameter

2009-04-07 Thread Conny Martin
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.

Multiple AR Servers in Mid-Tier Config

2009-04-07 Thread Satya Gandhi
Hi Listers,

I have multiple AR servers in a group and I need all these AR Servers along
with the server group name be updated in the MidTier AR Server settings.

When I add all three servers + the server group and I login to access the
applications, on the Home Page, I see all applications links appearing 4
times, once for each server.

How do i avoid this? I was told this has been discussed in the ARS List
earlier and I cant access the list from my work network.

We are running ARS 7.1 p6. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: Upgrading to SQL 2005

2009-04-07 Thread Joseph Kasell
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.

Re: Multiple AR Servers in Mid-Tier Config

2009-04-07 Thread LJ Longwing
Do a search through the docs for 'AppSubset', this should help you figure
out how to limit to a single server on the home page.  Otherwise, you could
limit the scope of what they see via preference records, or you could only
have one server name on the midtier server.

Subject: Multiple AR Servers in Mid-Tier Config


** 
Hi Listers,
 
I have multiple AR servers in a group and I need all these AR Servers along
with the server group name be updated in the MidTier AR Server settings.
 
When I add all three servers + the server group and I login to access the
applications, on the Home Page, I see all applications links appearing 4
times, once for each server.
 
How do i avoid this? I was told this has been discussed in the ARS List
earlier and I cant access the list from my work network.
 
We are running ARS 7.1 p6. Can someone point me in the right direction?
 
Regards
 
Satya

 I recently was tasked to add an Asset Tag field to SRM that would ask the 
 User for his Asset Tag and then pass the data to the Incident and create a 
 relationship to the affected asset (if there is one) on the Relationships 
 Tab. 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. So if 
 anyone else out there would like a copy of the Word doc, let me know.

how to define access to Assignee Group

2009-04-07 Thread Remedy Maniac

dear listers,

I am trying to build an access based on individual basis.
i.e: the user can access any ticket as soon as s/he is either the 
Submitter or in the CC list field found in the ticket itself (= there is 
a character field used to cc some people)

So i created a character field with id 112 named Assignee Group
I've built a workflow which reads the User form and set the field 112 to 
the login name of the $USER$

the Request-ID field is readable by the field id 112
This later is correctly updated base on the login found in the User form
But then I keep getting the following message:
You cannot translate the group name in the Group List or Assignee Group 
Field. :

Assignee Group (ARWARN 9305)

Can anyone help on solving this issue?
Thank you
Serouche

Re: how to define access to Assignee Group

2009-04-07 Thread Grooms, Frederick W
Actually according to the 6.3 Basic manual (starting on page 104) you
can place a user NAME (not login) or group ID in Field 112.  Since
RemedyManiac is still on 6.0 it may have only accepted group IDs then.

Anne,

This is a known issue with Remedy.  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.

to anyone?  I've seen it happen when tasks are not assigned and the solution 
was very simple (just assign it.)  This may or may not be your issue, but I 
would check that first if you haven't already.

Has anyone seen something like this (ITSM 7.0):
We've had a couple of instances recently where there were a sequence of ad-hoc 
tasks on a change.  We'll get a user saying that they can't access a given task 
and what it is is that all the previous tasks are closed, but the rest are all 
in staged status.  Nothing we can do seems to cause these to activate.  We have 
theorized that someone is changing the sequence after the first one has been 
activated, but we're not sure.

Re: AR Inside with 7.5

2009-04-07 Thread support

Dear list,

The Document functionality of ARSmarts is currently in an advanced phase 
of development.  We plan a beta program sometime in May.


The Document feature produces an HTML documentation of AR System 
objects.  It includes the cross-references. It works with cascading 
style sheets to allow users to modify the layout, put their logo in the 
header, ...


ARS7.5 will be supported.
//
The Document feature will be available from a number of places within 
ARSmarts.  You will have the possibility to document selected AR System 
objects, obviously.  You will also have the possibility to document the 
result of Search operations, the result of Compare operations, .


We'll post a call for beta testers on the list when the beta program starts.

Best regards.

Greg,

ARInside was built with an older API and likely does not recognize
a lot of
the information that it's pulling in from your 7.5.x server... I,
unfortunately, would not trust it, nor expect it to work, against
a 7.5.x

Just my thoughts,

Did you also accept the defaults of where to install the database on the

I had this issue when trying to create the database in any location other than 
the default location but once I successfully completed the installation (of all

Re: Multiple AR Servers in Mid-Tier Config

2009-04-07 Thread Lyle Taylor
Just out of curiosity, why do you need all three servers added to the mid-tier 
configuration?  Normally, if you have the server group behind a load balancer, 
you only need to have the mid-tier point to the load balancer and let it 
redirect traffic to the 3 backend servers.

AUTHENTICATE PLAIN not working with Exchange 2007

2009-04-07 Thread Mitchell, Sharon N. (MSFC-IS30)[SAIC]
We just upgraded our dev server (and email engine) to 7.1 patch 6.  We also 
installed JRE 1.5.0_18.  Now we are changing our incoming email configuration 
(using IMAP with SSL required) to point to our Exchange 2007 server.  It was 
working with Exchange 2003, but now it’s not with Exchange 2007.  Here’s part 
of the debug file:

DEBUG: getProvider() returning

It looks like it’s not working because it uses AUTHENICATE PLAIN and Exchange 
2007 doesn’t accept that (found that on a java sun forum).  It says the work 
around is to disable AUTH PLAIN by using this command:


prop.put(mail.imap.auth.plain.disable, true);


My question is – where do you put this command?  Is it on the Exchange server 
or the Remedy server?  Remedy support says it should be changed on the Exchange 
server and our email guys say it should be changed on the Remedy server.   If 
Remedy server, exactly where does it go?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: Word doc view

2009-04-07 Thread Jason Miller
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.

on my remedy form, there is a drop-down list field which has some predefined
value, Remedy system also has predefined value like (clear).

 
I created a webservice on that form, every webmethod is default.

 
Created a .Net Webservice client to call that Remedy Webservice OpGetList,
if select (clear) for that drop-down list field ( in soap response
message, that field value is empty), then I got error

The string '' is not a valid AllXsd value. when OpGetList is called.

 
I think that makes sense since  is not defined as an enumeration type for
that drop-down list field.

 
I did try to modify the default webservice to add MinOccurs=0,

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

2009-04-07 Thread Lyle Taylor
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

2009-04-07 Thread strauss
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

2009-04-07 Thread Lyle Taylor
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.

Just out of curiosity, why do you need all three servers added to the mid-tier

you only need to have the mid-tier point to the load balancer and let it

Word doc view

I have a view field that I would like to display a word doc.
I created an active link with a Set field

When the form opens it prompts me to open or save the doc.  Is there a way 
to avoid the prompt. Also is there a way to center the doc in the view

All I want to do is show some text with special formatting and color. 
Since text boxes do not have that capability, I went down the road of

Any help or workarounds would be great!

Re: how to define access to Assignee Group

Also sometimes when populating 112 or dynamic fields with workflow you have
to use the group number instead of the name.  I can't think of the specific

Overview Console Custom Forms

2009-04-07 Thread Jon Chau
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?

Thanks,
Jon

The (clear) selection on a selection list is not normally a valid

Mid-Tier) to allow the user an option to clear the value in the field.

The only values you can send are the ones you have defined in the

To clear the value in Remedy send the XML with no data in the field.

 We are now set up a load balanced Mid-Tier and AR Server environment with

 But there are admins who want to log onto the admin server in the server
 group directly and when they check the CI Viewer, it comes up; with the

 Hi Listers,



 I have multiple AR servers in a group and I need all these AR Servers along
 with the server group name be updated in the MidTier AR Server settings.



 When I add all three servers + the server group and I login to access the
 applications, on the Home Page, I see all applications links appearing 4
 times, once for each server.



 How do i avoid this? I was told this has been discussed in the ARS List
 earlier and I cant access the list from my work network.



 We are running ARS 7.1 p6. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN not working with Exchange 2007

2009-04-07 Thread Mitchell, Sharon N. (MSFC-IS30)[SAIC]
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 ??

Thanks again,
Sharon

Subject: 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.

Subject: AUTHENTICATE PLAIN not working with Exchange 2007

We just upgraded our dev server (and email engine) to 7.1 patch 6.  We also 
installed JRE 1.5.0_18.  Now we are changing our incoming email configuration 
(using IMAP with SSL required) to point to our Exchange 2007 server.  It was 
working with Exchange 2003, but now it’s not with Exchange 2007.  Here’s part 
of the debug file:

It looks like it’s not working because it uses AUTHENICATE PLAIN and Exchange 
2007 doesn’t accept that (found that on a java sun forum).  It says the work 
around is to disable AUTH PLAIN by using this command:


prop.put(mail.imap.auth.plain.disable, true);


My question is – where do you put this command?  Is it on the Exchange server 
or the Remedy server?  Remedy support says it should be changed on the Exchange 
server and our email guys say it should be changed on the Remedy server.   If 
Remedy server, exactly where does it go?

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: Multiple AR Servers in Mid-Tier Config

2009-04-07 Thread Lyle Taylor
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.

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?

Thanks in advance,

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

Subject: 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?

Prod ARS 7.0.1 p006 cannot consume a webservice

2009-04-07 Thread Elinore AR
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!!!
