Re: OT: Update of free RRR|Chive data migration tool

2009-09-23 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

That should be a simple enough thing to implement. It is a spearated
option to ARSetSchema(), which makes it isolated. The ARAuditInfoStruct
also seems stable enough between versions.

What about Archive and Audit Forms? You can not merge data into these
forms, making them impossible copy data to.

The only solution I can think of is to disassociate the Archive/Audit-Form
first, and then reassociate it. It is harder to do, but quite straight
forward.

Any thoughts on this?

 Hi Misi,

 I love rrrChive. I was wondering if you already have, or are
 considering, an option to disable form auditing during a sync. I know
 you have features for disabling workflow and indexing but would a
 similar feature to disable auditing be a useful addition?

 I am saying that having just had an error syncing a form where it
 reports a missing column in the audit form.

Hi Misi,

How about having an option to disassociate/associate with an optional
sync of the related audit records? This would be the best scenario for
me. Can it be done easily?  It would make a great product even better
if you could do that.

One thing most users wouldn't want is for the sync to be slowed down
or broken by generating lots of useless audit records that then need
to be cleared or overwritten by the real ones.

Re: Question around Remedy Web Services

2009-09-23 Thread Carey Matthew Black
Duy,

AR System has had the ability to call a published web service ( form
some external application ) for years. ( started in v6.0? ) However,
there are a few technical restrictions. The best starting point is
that AR System was designed around the optional Web Services
Description Language (WSDL) as the starting point. So if your NMS has
a WSDL for a Web Service that is publishes then AR System has a good
shot at being able to Push data to your NMS with very little effort
to integrate the two systems.

However, there are other options too.

AR System has always been a very open platform. As a developer you
have quiet a bit of access to build integrations to and from AR
System. In this case you need the How to integrate 'from' AR System.
details.

You have all of the following as Push options from AR System.

1) Fork a process
Which comes in two flavors:
   1a) Fork a process and do not wait for the response (AKA: Run Process action)
   1b) Fork a process and wait for a response (AKA: SetField action
with $PROCESS$ value for a field)

2) ARFilter Plugin (ARF API) (Again a SetField action)
   This allows you to write to any API code and pass values into the
ARF Plugin with a SetField action.
   It also allows your API code to return as many values (I have not
seen a limit yet) as you need too as well.
   If your NMS System has a C or Java API and it's Web Service does
not have a WSDL (or you can not figure out how to make a WSDL for it.)
then this may be a good option. ( If you know how to program in C
and/or Java.)

3) If the NMS can support receiving and processing email as an
integration point then you also could send an email (formatted to the
NMS's requirements) to send the message back to the NMS too.

4) Any obviously the Web Services consumption option that we already mentioned.

5) AR System lets to Log to file a transaction record and then you
can have an external log parser do the work to pass along the
information to the external system.

6) Write to a local DB table and let something pole or trigger based
on that tables data.

7) I have even seen examples of people using the AR System Alert
clients to be a kind of out bound signal to a custom developed daemon.
The custom daemon then uses whatever API/integration the remote side
needs to use to be told what it needs to be told.

And I think that I am still missing a few options too ( Maybe
others from ARSList can help add to that list.)

 What we’re trying to do is integrate our network monitoring system with our 
 remedy system forms.



 1.   Alarms will arrive into our NMS system, certain alarms then to be 
 replicated into a remedy alarms table. We can do this by publishing the

 2.   From remedy,  a user will then create a fault ticket and relate the

 3.   On creation of the fault ticket we need to then pass the fault

 Hope this explains it better.



 Chintan, thank you for your comments. I did read up the integration notes and 
 how remedy can consume a web service. But i believe it describes how we can 
 retrieve data from the web service into remedy forms, i would like to push 
 data from remedy forms via web services to our NMS application.

 Hi Duy,

 Can you elaborate more on process flow?

 I am assuming there are 2 parts to this
 1. Able to push data from a remedy form.
 2. Update a record within another application consuming an external web 
 service.


 From app A you can push data to app B through Push Fields action, and at 
 the same time you can trigger a filter on Modify on App B to consume data 
 from an external webservice (Set Fields--Set fields from Web-Service). 
 You need to have a WSDL file of external app. Once, you Load WSDL, map the 
 input and output parameters and Remedy will take care from thereon.


 Thanks

Hi Duy,

Can you elaborate more on process flow?

I am assuming there are 2 parts to this
1. Able to push data from a remedy form.
2. Update a record within another application consuming an external 
web service.



From app A you can push data to app B through Push Fields action, 
and at the same time you can trigger a filter on Modify on App B to 
consume data from an external webservice (Set Fields--Set fields 
from Web-Service). You need to have a WSDL file of external app. 
Once, you Load WSDL, map the input and output parameters and Remedy 
will take care from thereon.



Thanks
Chintan

Re: Question around Remedy Web Services

2009-09-23 Thread LJ Longwing
Duy Do,
A common misconception with webservices is that you can't 'push' to the web
service.  A setfields action consuming a web service IS a push.  You provide
input, they provide output, plain and simple.  If your NMS System supports
web services (publishes a WSDL), then you can consume that web service with
any information you need to provide to them in the input mapping, and they
provide 'results' in the output mapping.  As Carey mentioned, there are
nearly limitless integrations that you can make via the various options that
he mentioned.  The most 'in vogue' at the moment is webservices.

Hi,

 

For clarification and bit of background:

 

What we're trying to do is integrate our network monitoring system with our
remedy system forms.

 

1.   Alarms will arrive into our NMS system, certain alarms then to be
replicated into a remedy alarms table. We can do this by publishing the
remedy alarms form and the NMS system should be able to send a SOAP request
to create a record. The NMS system will send through the Alarm ID which is
unique.

 

2.   From remedy,  a user will then create a fault ticket and relate the
newly created alarms from the NMS system.

 

3.   On creation of the fault ticket we need to then pass the fault
ticket id back to the related alarm record that is in the NMS system. THIS
IS WHAT I NEED ASSISTANCE WITH.

 

Hope this explains it better.

 

Chintan, thank you for your comments. I did read up the integration notes
and how remedy can consume a web service. But i believe it describes how we
can retrieve data from the web service into remedy forms, i would like to
push data from remedy forms via web services to our NMS application.

 

Thank you,

 

Duy Do

Duy,

AR System has had the ability to call a published web service ( form
some external application ) for years. ( started in v6.0? ) However,
there are a few technical restrictions. The best starting point is
that AR System was designed around the optional Web Services
Description Language (WSDL) as the starting point. So if your NMS has
a WSDL for a Web Service that is publishes then AR System has a good
shot at being able to Push data to your NMS with very little effort
to integrate the two systems.

However, there are other options too.

AR System has always been a very open platform. As a developer you
have quiet a bit of access to build integrations to and from AR
System. In this case you need the How to integrate 'from' AR System.
details.

You have all of the following as Push options from AR System.

1) Fork a process
Which comes in two flavors:
   1a) Fork a process and do not wait for the response (AKA: Run Process action)
   1b) Fork a process and wait for a response (AKA: SetField action
with $PROCESS$ value for a field)

2) ARFilter Plugin (ARF API) (Again a SetField action)
   This allows you to write to any API code and pass values into the
ARF Plugin with a SetField action.
   It also allows your API code to return as many values (I have not
seen a limit yet) as you need too as well.
   If your NMS System has a C or Java API and it's Web Service does
not have a WSDL (or you can not figure out how to make a WSDL for it.)
then this may be a good option. ( If you know how to program in C
and/or Java.)

3) If the NMS can support receiving and processing email as an
integration point then you also could send an email (formatted to the
NMS's requirements) to send the message back to the NMS too.

4) Any obviously the Web Services consumption option that we already mentioned.

5) AR System lets to Log to file a transaction record and then you
can have an external log parser do the work to pass along the
information to the external system.

6) Write to a local DB table and let something poll or trigger based
on that tables data.

7) I have even seen examples of people using the AR System Alert
clients to be a kind of out bound signal to a custom developed daemon.
The custom daemon then uses whatever API/integration the remote side
needs to use to be told what it needs to be told.

And I think that I am still missing a few options too ( Maybe
others from ARSList can help add to that list.)

I know other companies are competing for preferred choice status.

All,
 
As long-time fans and supporters of Remedy and the ARSList, we're looking
forward to WWRUG in Vegas. Dan, Joel, Phil, and Lenny have done an excellent
job organizing the conference. We're happy to be sponsoring not just because
it helps Aeroprise but because we're proud to give back to the community
that has done so much for us. With that said, it has come to our attention
that many of you are fashionably late registering.
 
I realize if you're on this list you're probably either attending, lobbying
to attend, or disappointed having tried. So this may fall on deaf ears but
consider it an appeal just the same. To help get you (or management) over
the edge, here are three reasons to attend WWRUG (none of which must stay in
Vegas - perhaps three of those in a separate email):
 
1. Five days that will advance your career years - just ask anyone who has
attended past RUGs.
2. There's no better way to build internal support for Remedy - the ideas
and relationships you'll walk away with are priceless.
3. The keynote speaker will wear a Hawaiian shirt and hiking boots - need I
say more?
 
The Remedy developer community has been vibrant, supportive, and quirky
through so much for so many years. For all of our benefit, do your best to
attend and let's keep it that way for many years to come.
 
Hope to see you there!

Change 7.0.02 Patch 004

The goal is to upgrade to:
Asset 7.0.03 Patch 009
Change 7.0.03 Patch 009


1)
Does CMDB need to be upgraded to version 2.1, or can 2.0.1 be used?

2)
Does the patch 009 also update CMDB?

3)
Can 7.0.03 Patch 009 be applied, and then this add all changes since
7.0.02 Patch 004, or does we need to install additional patches?



Next step; AR 7.5 and CMDB 7.5...

...And you've installed the web service plugin.

Consuming a web service (via the set fields as mentioned below) uses only
that plugin, and doesn't depend on the mid-tier at all.

Also, be aware there are settings (both in the admin tool/dev studio and on
the AR server itself) that allow you to define a proxy server if needed.

Yes, as long as your external BizTalk server does web services, and the
wsdl
they provide is in a format that Remedy can read properly.

...And you've installed the web service plugin.

Consuming a web service (via the set fields as mentioned below) uses only
that plugin, and doesn't depend on the mid-tier at all.

Also, be aware there are settings (both in the admin tool/dev studio and on
the AR server itself) that allow you to define a proxy server if needed.

Duy,As everyone in list has mentioned, you will need to have NMS app create a WSDL file.The way we do it (for #3) is1. Write a Java web-service client for external app's(like NMS) WSDL, package it as a JAR and deploy it on server.2. From Remedy, we have a filter that performs a RUN PROCESS and call this JAR.3. That JAR takes parameters (in your case like $FAULT ID$ $ALARM ID$)and calls Web-Service and updates external app.I have not tried this doing from Remedy.Carey, you have brought up some very good options that I wasn't aware of.

Hi, 

  

For clarification and bit of background: 

  

What we’re trying to do is integrate our network
monitoring system with our remedy system forms. 

  

1.
Alarms will arrive into our NMS system, certain alarms then to
be replicated into a remedy alarms table. We can do this by publishing the
remedy alarms form and the NMS system should be able to send a SOAP request to
create a record. The NMS system will send through the Alarm ID which is unique. 

  

2.
From remedy, a user will then create a fault ticket and
relate the newly created alarms from the NMS system. 

  

3.
On creation of the fault ticket we need to then pass the fault
ticket id back to the related alarm record that is in the NMS system. THIS IS
WHAT I NEED ASSISTANCE WITH. 

  

Hope this explains it better. 

  

Chintan, thank you for your comments. I did read up the
integration notes and how remedy can consume a web service. But i believe it
describes how we can retrieve data from the web service into remedy forms, i would
like to push data from remedy forms via web services to our NMS application. 

  

Thank you, 

  

Duy Do

  Hi Duy,
  
  Can you elaborate more on process flow?
  
  I am assuming there are 2 parts to this
  1. Able to push data from a remedy form.
  2. Update a record within another application consuming an external web
  service.
  
  
  From app A you can push data to app B through "Push Fields" action,
  and at the same time you can trigger a filter on "Modify" on App B
  to consume data from an external webservice ("Set
  Fields"--"Set fields from Web-Service"). You need to have
  a WSDL file of external app. Once, you "Load" WSDL, map the input
  and output parameters and Remedy will take care from thereon.

You could do a run process passing in the record that contains the html in a
char field.  Then have the program log into remedy, pull that field and dump
its contents to a file.  You could then either email that file to the user
or re-attach it to the record in question (attachment field) and then use
normal Remedy workflow to give them the file.

Authenticating Remedy users using Kerberos??

2009-09-23 Thread Rabi Tripathi
Hi folks,
Has anyone done a setup where Remedy users are authenticated directly by 
Kerberos, without having LDAP in the middle?

I know Remedy talking to LDAP talking to Kerberos has been done, but I've been 
asked to take LDAP out of the picture.

Integration guide (looked at v 7.5) does mention Kerberos, in the same sentence 
as LDAP, but I haven't found much info on how to do this with Kerberos. I have 
ARS 6.3, by the way, but I can go to a higher version.

With Kerberos APIs and Remedy's AREA APIs it should be doable. Both client and 
server side code will be needed, because the way Remedy's authentication is 
architected, the client can't vouch for the ID of the user; that's done by the 
AREA plugin at the server side, so it seems that on the client side the 
authentication should happen and the resulting ticket is what's passed to 
AREA plugin, which is then what gets verified there.

Thanks in advance.

Re: AlarmPoint system for ITSM 7

2009-09-23 Thread Tony Worthington
Chris -

We use two IBM xSeries 3850's with 8 cpu's each.  Each has a T1 card, 
connected to a fractional T1 (8 channels each.)  Your hardware will be 
determined by load (clearly) and connectivity requirements (the T1 cards 
are full length.)  AlarmPoint has a sizing spreadsheet they can walk 
through with you to size cpu/disk/memory.  Our servers are beefy enough to 
support both the notification server component, and the web front end.  AP 
recommends that they be split, but we've had no issues.

Our integration is somewhat custom, due to the fact we launched our 
project over a year ago (prior to some of their ootb integrations) and had 
some very specific requirements.  My understanding is that they have both 
ootb SD and CM integrations available today.

Feel free to contact me off-list if you need further details on topics 
such as telecom connectivity, paging methods, and DR/HA options.

No, it is not.  Sorry I omitted that from my original email.  It does live 
on the same physical hardware (AIX) as the Remedy and RKM db's although 
they are each in their own instance (Oracle 10gR2)

** Chris - 

We use two IBM xSeries 3850's with 8 cpu's each.  Each has a T1 card, 
connected to a fractional T1 (8 channels each.)  Your hardware will be 
determined by load (clearly) and connectivity requirements (the T1 cards 
are full length.)  AlarmPoint has a sizing spreadsheet they can walk 
through with you to size cpu/disk/memory.  Our servers are beefy enough to 
support both the notification server component, and the web front end.  AP 
recommends that they be split, but we've had no issues. 

Our integration is somewhat custom, due to the fact we launched our 
project over a year ago (prior to some of their ootb integrations) and had 
some very specific requirements.  My understanding is that they have both 
ootb SD and CM integrations available today. 

Feel free to contact me off-list if you need further details on topics 
such as telecom connectivity, paging methods, and DR/HA options.

Re: ITSM, CMDB and patches...

2009-09-23 Thread Peter Romain
Hi Jarl,

The latest patch for CMDB 2.0.1 is recommended but you don't need to
upgrade to 2.1 (yet).

The patch does not update the CMDB but does patch a few issues.

You need to run patch 7 then patch 9. Patch 7 took ~12 hours on a
production system I updated last weekend.

Have you got the patch 7  9 readme's?

Cheers

Peter


 Hi,

 Current implementation:


 AR System 7.01
 CMDB 2.0.1 Patch 3
 Asset 7.0.02 Patch 004
 Change 7.0.02 Patch 004

 The goal is to upgrade to:
 Asset 7.0.03 Patch 009
 Change 7.0.03 Patch 009


 1)
 Does CMDB need to be upgraded to version 2.1, or can 2.0.1 be used?

 2)
 Does the patch 009 also update CMDB?

 3)
 Can 7.0.03 Patch 009 be applied, and then this add all changes since
 7.0.02 Patch 004, or does we need to install additional patches?



 Next step; AR 7.5 and CMDB 7.5...


 Regards,
 Jarl

Business Objects 3.1 (BOXI 3.1) Support

2009-09-23 Thread bruce sisk
Hello,

I am trying to nail down support for Business Objects XI 3.1...

According to the compat matrix Business Analytics 2.5.01 installs BOXI 3.1  
however, the ARS 7.5 matrix says it is not supported.

So...anyone from BMC want to clarify?  In order to distribute reports over the 
web on ARS 7.5 do I have to buy BMC Analytics??  Will there be a patch\upgrade 
to ARS to work with BOXI 3.1 or higher...in case I can't afford BMC Analytics.

Web Service Get Operation

2009-09-23 Thread Nall, Roger
Hello All,

ARS 7.1 patch4
Win2003
SQL2000

I have created a web service for another system to consume. There are three 
operations in the web service; Create, Set, Get. This web service will be 
called from a .net web page. Users can create on or many records at a time from 
the web page. Can I assume that the web service will have to be called for each 
record?

When using the Get operation users will need to get list of records that are 
assigned to them. I have created one element in the Input for the Get. This 
element I have called Qualification. The web site will pass me the User Name 
and Password of the user and the qualification i.e.; 'Assigned To' = user. 
There are seven fields in the output of the Get operation. The developer on the 
.net side is having trouble getting the data back. He seems to think he will 
need to call the web service seven times for each record that exists. He bases 
this on the fact that when he tried to use the web service to retrieve one 
record he only saw the first column in the output. He has asked me if there is 
any way to pass all of the data in one record in one element in the web 
service. As I am not that familiar with this technology so I am not sure how to 
answer him.

When using the Set operation they will be 'approving' several records at a time 
from a web site. Again, I assume they will have to call the web service for 
each record. Finally, can someone explain the difference between the Get and 
Get List operation? Thanks in advanced for any help.

Re: Major 6.3 Migration Project [Resolved]

2009-09-23 Thread Paul Blasquez
Thanks to everyone to replied to this!  Especially LJ and Misi, for pointing me 
towards RRR|Chive, which is a great utility.

It's definitely looking like I will be doing the tedious route, so I will now 
spend my time importing, fixing, and testing.  Hopefully my eyes won't cross 
and my hair doesn't fall out before I'm done. :)

Thanks again!

Subject: Re: Major 6.3 Migration Project

Hi,

A good thing with RRR|Chive, or rather the ARAPI, is that it will handle
the character conversion automatically.

Another thing with an upgrade, is that it usually brings havoc to the
layout of forms it changes. Therefore I think it best to use the forms
supplied with the new version, and then customize them to your need. In
most cases, I think that you have to change the prmissions of some forms
and possibly fields. You may want to hide a couple of system-forms and you
may want to mess around with permissions on the User-form to suit your
needs.

Using a def-file to migrate the application is good. You will then clean
your possibly very old applications to fit into the new version. If you do
a db-copy/upgrade, you may be left with a lot of historical errors caused
by ARAdmin-bugs or version incompatibilities.

By using the SYNC-mode of RRR|Chive, you can run your new system parralel
and do testing/restoration on the new system until you are satisified.

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

Products from RRR Scandinavia:
* RRR|License - Not enough Remedy licenses? Save money by optimizing.
* RRR|Log - Performance issues or elusive bugs? Analyze your Remedy logs.
* RRR|Translator - Manage and automate your language translations.
Find these products, and many free tools and utilities, at http://rrr.se.

 Assumptions I am making:
 - You are running custom applications (not sla, itsm, cs, crm, etc.)
 - You do not have any external api's (plugins, external binaries
 compiled for Solaris) on the ar servers
 -

 I would go with something along these lines:

 1. Build the new 7.5 servers:
   1. Install the prerequisite software (db client, java, etc.)
   2. Install ARS 7.5, point it at an empty database that uses the
 AL32UTF8 character set
1. Install subsystems in use (email, approval, etc.)
   3. [1] Manually apply your form/field/permission changes to the core
 forms and grab a def
   4. [2] You will need a load balancer, get it set up properly, get
 the server group set up properly
 2. Migration preparation
   1. Install the 64-bit 10g oracle client on the old arserver(s)
   2. Empty the contents of the new db instance
 3. Migration:
   1. Upgrade the existing 6.3 server to 7.5
 1. Perform a minimal installation (ARServer only)
   2. Stop AR on the new and old servers
   3. Convert the db character set/transport the data
 1. Empty the temp new database with AL32UTF8 character set
 2. Exported (exp utility) the data from original database (source)
 with the source character set
 3. Copy the dump to the new server
 4. Import (imp utility) the data into the new
 database(destination) with character set AL32UTF8
   4. Perform the upgrade installer for other core ar components
 (email, fb, approval, etc.)
 4. Post-migration
   1. Set up oracle data guard

 Footnotes:
 1. A better option would be to update your applications so they do not
 rely on (any) changes to the core forms prior to the migration.
 2. Load Balancer: You will require a hardware load balancer (BigIP,
 etc.) in front of the ARServers:
 - Enable session persistence based on the source ip address

 Special Notes:
 1. Do perform this operation in a non-production environment prior to
 upgrading production and verify it works.  Also, during this time, if
 you run into workflow problems, generate the defs necessary to apply
 to an upgraded system so that you can use them during your upgrade.

 Server Groups: Server groups will make the following operations
 easier, but is not required to run an HA arrangement with AR:
 - Object cache synchronization across all nodes
 - Subsystem failover between nodes (e.g., escalations)

 DR Failover: There are many approaches to this; the choice usually
 depends on the size of your wallet and the practices currently
 implemented for dr:
 - Using Oracle DG, the db should be available at the time you need to fail
 over
 - You should be able to image the AR VM's in the DR with a near mirror
 image of the production hosts (hostname can/may vary)
   - This can be done on the fly during a dr or maintained separately
 - You will need to create a runbook of the operations required to
 perform a failover in the event you do not have any type of automated
 failover in place.  Tasks would include things like:
   - dns changes
   - fail over db to standby server
   - bring up ar servers


Re: Web Service Get Operation

2009-09-23 Thread Grooms, Frederick W
Questions in order (almost)...

Yes the Create operation will have to be called for each individual record they 
want to create.

The difference between Get and Get List is Get returns 1 record and Get List 
returns a set of records.  You will want to use a Get List to return the list 
of records for a qualification.  I recommend you structure your result in the 
following manner:
   Root   
 Grouping Element (whatever you want to call it)  
   Field 1   
   Field 2   
   Field 3   
   Field 4   
   Field 5   
   Field 6   
   Field 7   

Map the form to the Grouping Element instead of Root and set the MaxOccurs to 
unbounded.  The reason for the Grouping Element is that you can only have 1 
Root element in an XML so this way you will return multiple rows.

Yes the Set operation will have to be called for each individual record they 
want to create.

Fred

Standard Encryption that comes free with AR Server: Not active by default?

2009-09-23 Thread Rabi Tripathi
The release notes for Encryption product says that standard encryption for 
communication between remedy client and server comes free with purchase of AR 
Server, and that the encryption logic is built into the standard executables 
for servers/clients. 

As opposed to premium and performance level of encryptions, which need to 
be paid for, licensed and installed separately.

On reading the doc, it appears that the free standard level of encryption 
that everybody gets for free is NOT enabled by default, unless you take the 
time to add this and other related lines in ar.conf:
Encrypt-Public-Key-Algorithm: 4

Did I get this right?

If I did, has anybody enabled the standard encryption and found any 
significant changes in performance of any client?

Thanks.

Re: Business Objects 3.1 (BOXI 3.1) Support

2009-09-23 Thread Easter, David
BOXI 3.1 is not supported by AR System 7.5.00.  

This is due to, as stated in the compatibility matrix, a backwards 
compatibility issue introduced by SAP that made it technically infeasible at 
the time of the 7.5.00 release to support both BOXI R2 and BOXI 3.x in the same 
release.  BMC is planning to work around this issue in the next scheduled 
release of AR System so that BOXI 3.x can be supported.

Re: BMC Password Management

2009-09-23 Thread Schon, Stuart
Works well, easy to turn on, if you have large number of users then it
may take some time to sweep through all users.

 

One thing that we did not like was that warnings of and expiry of
password was sent out as a email to all users (in our case 20K) not as a
dialog when they log on - this was considered spam and generated
considerable consternation. We worked with BMC to disable all
notifications - the only thing they see now is when the password needs
reseting. the password reset dialog appears when they log in asking them
to change password, this happens every 30 days.

 

We also added a requirement to include a number in the password - this
was straightforward (though there is an error in the documentation so
check the syntax).

Re: Standard Encryption that comes free with AR Server: Not active by default?

2009-09-23 Thread Carey Matthew Black
Rabi,

You are mostly correct.
However the setting that you need to set is this one:

Encrypt-Security-Policy:2

2 is the default = Encryption between the client and server is disabled.

You need to set it to zero or one.

0: Encryption between the client and server is allowed, but not required.
1: Encryption between the client and server is required; unencrypted
communication is not allowed.


You may also want to set other related settings too. (including the
one you indicated.)
These are a few of the settings to consider. (And their default values
based on v6.3 docs)

Encrypt-Security-Policy: 2
Encrypt-Public-Key-Expire: 86400
Encrypt-Symmetric-Data-Key-Expire: 2700
Encrypt-Public-Key-Algorithm: 4
Encrypt-Data-Encryption-Algorithm: 0

HTH.

 If I did, has anybody enabled the standard encryption and found any 
 significant changes in performance of any client?

 Thanks.

Re: Business Objects 3.1 (BOXI 3.1) Support

buyingBMC Analytics will not get you reports in AR System over the web. BOXI that comes with BMC Analytics is for use with BMC Analytics ONLY. You can't use it as your Crystal Report Server for the web. The version that comes with BMC Analytics isBusiness Objects Professional. Professional limits use to ONE BO module in this case, Analytics. To use with multiple modules (analytics and reporting) you have to purchase the upgrade to BO Premium from SAP. Or just buy Crystal Reports module and don't have Analytics.

Re: ITSM, CMDB and patches...

2009-09-23 Thread Jarl Grøneng
Hi,

Yes, got the 7 and 9 patch readme, it takes some time to get trough it...

Found thet cmdb 2.1 require AR Server 7.1

Thanks,

2009/9/23 Peter Romain p.romain.arsl...@parsolutions.co.uk:
 Hi Jarl,

 The latest patch for CMDB 2.0.1 is recommended but you don't need to
 upgrade to 2.1 (yet).

 The patch does not update the CMDB but does patch a few issues.

 You need to run patch 7 then patch 9. Patch 7 took ~12 hours on a
 production system I updated last weekend.

 Have you got the patch 7  9 readme's?

 Cheers

 Peter


 Hi,

 Current implementation:


 AR System 7.01
 CMDB 2.0.1 Patch 3
 Asset 7.0.02 Patch 004
 Change 7.0.02 Patch 004

 The goal is to upgrade to:
 Asset 7.0.03 Patch 009
 Change 7.0.03 Patch 009


 1)
 Does CMDB need to be upgraded to version 2.1, or can 2.0.1 be used?

 2)
 Does the patch 009 also update CMDB?

 3)
 Can 7.0.03 Patch 009 be applied, and then this add all changes since
 7.0.02 Patch 004, or does we need to install additional patches?



 Next step; AR 7.5 and CMDB 7.5...


 Regards,
 Jarl

Re: Question around Remedy Web Services

Hi,

 

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.definitely numerous options that we 
will need to consider.

Duy,

As everyone in list has mentioned, you will need to have NMS app create a WSDL 
file.

The way we do it (for #3) is
1. Write a Java web-service client for external app's(like NMS) WSDL, package 
it as a JAR and deploy it on server.
2. From Remedy, we have a filter that performs a RUN PROCESS and call this JAR.
3.  That JAR takes  parameters (in your case like $FAULT ID$ $ALARM ID$)and 
calls Web-Service and updates external app.

I have not tried this doing from Remedy.

Carey, you have brought up some very good options that I wasn't aware of. You 
Rock!

Thanks
Chintan.

Hi,

 

For clarification and bit of background:

 

What we’re trying to do is integrate our network monitoring system with our 
remedy system forms.

 

1.   Alarms will arrive into our NMS system, certain alarms then to be 
replicated into a remedy alarms table. We can do this by publishing the remedy 
alarms form and the NMS system should be able to send a SOAP request to create 
a record. The NMS system will send through the Alarm ID which is unique.

 

2.   From remedy,  a user will then create a fault ticket and relate the 
newly created alarms from the NMS system.

 

3.   On creation of the fault ticket we need to then pass the fault ticket 
id back to the related alarm record that is in the NMS system. THIS IS WHAT I 
NEED ASSISTANCE WITH.

 

Hope this explains it better.

 

Chintan, thank you for your comments. I did read up the integration notes and 
how remedy can consume a web service. But i believe it describes how we can 
retrieve data from the web service into remedy forms, i would like to push data 
from remedy forms via web services to our NMS application.

 

Thank you,

 

Duy Do

Hi Duy,

Can you elaborate more on process flow?

I am assuming there are 2 parts to this
1. Able to push data from a remedy form.
2. Update a record within another application consuming an external web service.


From app A you can push data to app B through Push Fields action, and at the 
same time you can trigger a filter on Modify on App B to consume data from 
an external webservice (Set Fields--Set fields from Web-Service). You 
need to have a WSDL file of external app. Once, you Load WSDL, map the input 
and output parameters and Remedy will take care from thereon.


Thanks
Chintan

Hi,

 

One of our requirements is to be able to push data from a remedy form and 
update a record within another application consuming an external web service.

 

Firstly is this possible and does anyone know where i can find a white paper 
discussing this type of integration?

 

Thank you in advance,
