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

Re: OT: Update of free RRR|Chive data migration tool
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
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.) -- Carey Matthew Black BMC Remedy AR System Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap Pick two.

Here is a link to a webpage: http://www.kenhamady.com/form17.shtml The developer gives you the Code examples to create a set of integrated formulas that do this: 1. Adding/Subtracting Business Days 2. find the number of business days between two dates 3. Calculate business hours 4.

Re: Question around Remedy Web Services
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. _ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Duy Do Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 11:33 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Question around Remedy Web Services ** 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.

I don't automatically support everyone named Dan, but in this case I would like to thank Dan, and Aeroprise for their support.

I know other companies are competing for preferred choice status.

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.

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.

Re: how to append date along with a file name
Are you defining the filename in your escalation through a set fields? If so you could do this. [filename] + $DATE$ + .[file extension] Eg myfile_ + $DATE$ + .doc Ed From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of kiran Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 2:30 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: how to append date along with a file name ** Hi, I have a requirement to update the current date along with a file name which is updated by remedy(through escalations) ie each time the escalation runs, a new file with the new date should be created without merely updating the exisring file. ars 6.3 Any help will be greatly appreciated Regards, Kiran _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: Where the Answers Are_ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: Where the Answers Are
Export to html/text file
Hi listers, I have a char field that its content is a html code. I am showing this content as a page in a view field to the user, but the user would like to have the option of saving this report in a file (html) and/or printing this report.

Re: Export to html/text file
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.

Authenticating Remedy users using Kerberos??
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. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: Where the Answers Are

Re: AlarmPoint system for ITSM 7
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.

Web Service Get Operation
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]
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! -Paul -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Misi Mladoniczky Sent: Friday, September 18, 2009 10:23 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG 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.

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
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.

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

Re: Business Objects 3.1 (BOXI 3.1) Support
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. -David J.

Re: BMC Password Management
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). regards Stuart Schon Team Manager, Remedy Solutions FUJITSU AUSTRALIA LIMITED Level 4, 320 Pitt Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia T +61 2 9844 0596 M +61 439 475 240 stuart.sc...@au.fujitsu.com mailto:tracy.mccorm...@au.fujitsu.com www.au.fujitsu.com P Please consider the environment before printing this email.

Re: BMC Password Management
Hello All, I am new to the list. I need to implement a notification filter off of the HPD:Help Desk form that utilized the VIP status. Anyone have any suggestions. I have tried creating a custom filter, utilizing the notify If Action. However, the notifications are never received. Here is my current qualification: ('DB.VIP != Yes) AND ('VIP' = Yes) This is set to only use the HPD: Help Desk form, and it's only set to perform the If Action on submit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a very high profile request and I need to implement ASAP.

Re: Standard Encryption that comes free with AR Server: Not active by default?
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. -- Carey Matthew Black BMC Remedy AR System Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap Pick two.

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.

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.

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.

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.
