Re: Mixing best-practice and base-development in 7.6.04...

BPCU is a one-time tool for upgrading to 7.6.04. After upgrading to 7.6.04 
working in Best Practice Customization (BPC) mode will ensure that 
customization happen through custom\overlay objects.


The confusion raised because of this:

From the original query of this thread we thought user, after successfully 
upgrading to 7.6.05, is trying to customize out of the box objects. However 
instead of using BPC mode to create custom objects, Base mode was used. Hence 
user wanted to convert base object to custom.

For this last step, I mentioned convert them to custom objects using BPCU and 
insisted that BPC mode must be used for all customization.


But later on, after exchange of few mails it turned out that use case is as 
follows:

-User has developed their own application i.e. they are not customizing any 
out of the box applications. And.

-To add new features to their application they first customize it in BPC 
mode.

-When all changes seems correct they want all customizations to be merged 
back to base application.

Here overlay feature is not used for customization purposes but instead for 
keeping base objects safe until new features are done.

If BMC is going to expect us to make regular use of the BPCU to perform object 
management tasks that really _should_ have been included in the Developer

then they are going to have to vastly improve their documentation of it, get

provide clear descriptions of the processes that will require you to go back 
and use the BPCU, exactly how to use it (syntax, syntax, syntax), and how to 
clean up after it since it produces a large number of spurious overlays and

Hi,

 I saw this, but Save-as would require a new name. And if it is a form,
 actl-in-guide or fliter-in-guide, the relationships will be lost.

To convert a base object to custom object, without renaming and reattaching all 
the workflow objects, one must use BPCU to achieve it. Directly modifying 
definition files would not be correct\reliable option.


 When I have tested everything, I want to merge it together, to give me a new 
 version of my base application.

I am not able to understand your above you case. When you say merge it to give 
a new version of base application do you mean that you want to merge custom 
changes to base application? If yes, then what will you gain from it?

There are only three basic rules of overlays that everyone must stick to, if 
they want their application not to be affected by future upgrades i.e. if they 
want their customizations to be retained in future upgrades without any manual 
intervention or with minimal intervention:

1) Always modify objects in Developer Studio under Best Practice Customization 
Mode. You must never modify any objects in Base Mode. Base Mode is provided 
only to see base objects and not to modify them.

2) If you want a new object then it has to be custom. Custom objects neither 
provide any new functionalities nor take away any existing ones. It is just a 
flag to then server to say I am a custom object and not a out of the box 
object. Nothing more nor less.

3) If you want to modify existing base objects

AIE instance name mismatch after DB sync up activity

2011-03-30 Thread rmduser
Hi,

Version specs: ARS 7.5 patch4, CMDB Atrium 7.6patch1, ITSM 7.0.3 patch9

 
I had performed a DB sync activity on Remedy Server by taking a dump of
production env. database  pointing it on to test env.

 
The test  prod env are on separate servers (with different hostnames).

 
After DB sync, the AIE instance name of the 'production env' shows , when I
access AIE console of test environment. 

 
Although, the AIE service name is still the same of test env. (services.msc)

 
how can I change it back to the previous instance name (test env hostname).

 
Any help.

 
Thanks in advance.

That seems extreamly high, 177 files.

I have migrated many systems and I dont think I have modified that many.
What command line did you use to get that value? Are you ignoring log

**********Help with ARWARN [8911] ************

2011-03-30 Thread Enslin Van Blerk - MWEB
Hi everyone

I require some assistance please.

Scenario:
Regular Form

I have a Display Only form with two Character fields(varchar(3000)) Employee 
and Access ID. I have an Add button which will execute the Active Link which 
in turn will make use of the push fields action that will create an entry in a 
Regular form with the Push Field If condition of  ( $AccessID$ = 
'Request_ID_ServiceCAT') AND ( $Employee$ = 'Employee') [Create if No request 
match] and [Do Nothing if Any request match]. I also push the values from the 
Display form to the Regular form. 
Field Name: Value:
Request_ID_ServiceCAT   AccessID
EmployeeEmployee

*   The first time I run it, it works and create the entry in the Regular 
Form.
*   If I try to add the same entry with the same values in 
Request_ID_ServiceCAT and Employee it gives met the following message.
 ARWARN [8911] Some of the fields have been truncated from the 
results list because the total length of the fields and separators is greater 
than the maximum allowed 


Looking at the logs I cannot see why it gives me this particular message. 
Looking at the logs, every time I get the message(ARWARN [8911]) it does not 
try to write to another table either or what I can see in the logs.  Any help 
will be appreciated.

Thanks

Subject: **Help with ARWARN [8911] 

Hi everyone

I require some assistance please.

Scenario:
Regular Form

I have a Display Only form with two Character fields(varchar(3000)) Employee 
and Access ID. I have an Add button which will execute the Active Link which 
in turn will make use of the push fields action that will create an entry in a 
Regular form with the Push Field If condition of  ( $AccessID$ = 
'Request_ID_ServiceCAT') AND ( $Employee$ = 'Employee') [Create if No request 
match] and [Do Nothing if Any request match]. I also push the values from the 
Display form to the Regular form. 
Field Name: Value:
Request_ID_ServiceCAT   AccessID
EmployeeEmployee

*   The first time I run it, it works and create the entry in the Regular 
Form.
*   If I try to add the same entry with the same values in 
Request_ID_ServiceCAT and Employee it gives met the following message.
 ARWARN [8911] Some of the fields have been truncated from the 
results list because the total length of the fields and separators is greater 
than the maximum allowed 


Looking at the logs I cannot see why it gives me this particular message. 
Looking at the logs, every time I get the message(ARWARN [8911]) it does not 
try to write to another table either or what I can see in the logs.  Any help 
will be appreciated.

Thanks
Enslin

I checked the form names involved are EIE:ApplicationSettings,
EIE:BackuploadFlag

Out of these,ApplicationSettings form has some 'encrypted password' field
also, if I only change the instance name/internal instance name kinds of
fields, will that suffice?

 Hi All,



 I’m having a problem with DS where when I modify the layout of a radio
 button, it changes the height to 14 pixels, which cuts off the lower portion
 of the radio button.  The height property for the field is grayed out, so I
 can’t adjust it back to something reasonable.  Has anyone else had this
 problem?  Any idea how to fix it?



 Thanks,

Re: AIE instance name mismatch after DB sync up activity

2011-03-30 Thread Thad Esser
These are Oracle select statements, but they will show you the fields/forms
for AIE that have server references.  I have done multiple database
refreshes back to our dev environments, and used SQL UPDATE versions of
these to set the server references.  In doing so, I've never had a problem
with passwords for AIE.

//From data Exchange:
  SELECT ZTMPINSTANCEALIAS, AR_SERVER, INSTANCE_NAME FROM
EIE_DATAEXCHANGE;
//Application Path
  SELECT APPLICATION_PATH FROM EIE_APPLICATIONSETTINGS;
//BackupLoadFlag
  SELECT HOST, INTERNAL_INSTANCE_NAME, INSTANCENAME FROM
EIE_BACKUPLOADFLAG;


Hopefully that helps some.
Thad
P.S.  I just noticed that you are on a later version ARS and CMDB than we
are, so the above might not be comprehensive.

Can't modify Asset in production data set - Submitter Mode Locked error

AR Server Set to Submitter Mode = Locked
 
I tried to modify a CI in my production dataset and ran into a the following 
error: 
 
ARERR [371] You cannot change the value of the Submitter field --
the Submitter Mode of the system is configured to be locked : 2

The preceding message occurred during the execution of active link 
ASI:SHR:GenericSave_003_CreateModify_EnabledSandBox_SomethingInSandbox --

This was on a CI that had been Normalized and Reconciled.   I checked the 
workflow logs and the AL in question is executing a push fields action that 
matches all field ID's.   I would suppose that since the $SUBMITTER$ value was 
NOT me the Submitter Mode Locked logic is firing.   
 
Has anyone else run into this?  Seems like a significant bug to me, since it 
wouldn't allow Support Users to update CI's for which they are configured as

Re: Can't modify Asset in production data set - Submitter Mode Locked error

2011-03-30 Thread LJ LongWing
Chris,

I run in Locked mode as well.and while I don't run OOTB apps, what you will
likely want to look for is something that is setting 2 to something..likely
$USER$ on the screen.this would likely be an AL on window open or
something..the 'all fields' doesn't cause this problem unless you are in
fact trying to modify an existing entry and change the value in field 2..so
look for something that's changing it between open and button press to save
it.in this scenario you don't of course want that to change.correct the
workflow that's causing it to change, and submit a defect to BMC if you find
that something is.because it certainly shouldn't be.

When I have trouble with default field height (radio button or character

set it back to 1.  That usually works.

A discussion of the overlay feature of AR System 7.6.4

2011-03-30 Thread Mueller, Doug
Everyone,

There have been a number of threads that have been running on the list over
the past couple of weeks that all revolve around the new overlay feature of
7.6.4.

The goal of this note is not to try and address every specific issue or to
argue one way or the other on every given topic.  It is to put forth the basic
ideas and philosophy for this feature.

To start, overall we are having customers have a very good experience with the
feature.  It is working.  It is delivering the capability that it is designed
for.  It is indeed keeping user customizations separate from original
definitions and the applications are running correctly with the definitions in
place.  I think that after reading through all the comments and notes that
folks have posted on issues or concerns about this feature you will find that
ALL of them are about issues on the definition side and that there have not
been any issues reported from the execution side or about the run-time
capability of the system.  In addition, there have not been any issues from
users (OK, we have received a few polish and efficiency of use enhancement
requests) who are coming into the feature new without a history.  However,
there have been some issues on the converting into side -- some because of
issues and some because of not approaching the feature correctly.

What I want to do in this note is to walk through the intention of how the
feature is intended to be used and to provide clarity and one voice
(subject to update if I make a mistake but that would just be a correction to
still provide a single position/answer from BMC) about the feature and its
intended use.  During this discussion, I hope to address the themes (if not
the specific point items) from the various thread that have been posted on the
list recently.



The goal of the feature is to allow you to isolate out-of-the-box application
definitions from your enhancements/customizations.  This is accomplished by
putting definitions into two layers -- a base layer for out-of-the-box and
an overlay layer for both changes to out-of-the-box definitions and for new
definitions custom to your site.  In addition, to put infrastructure in place
in the system to assist you with following the rules and to prevent you from
changes that will cause upgrade issues or produce incompatibilities going
forward into the future.  The result of this is better understanding of the
application changes and extensions made and the ability to dramatically improve
the upgrade, and subsequent recustomize, operation.

All out-of-the-box definitions are loaded into the base layer.  This works
effectively for all BMC applications -- new and old versions.  Your changes
and customizations are in another layer and will not be touched by the changes
in the BMC applications yet all changes to the BMC applications will show
through for every object except where you have explicitly changed them for your
own requirements.

This feature is not a dev to production feature.  The purpose is not to
make test changes and then promote to base.  Base is the out of the box
application and you should not change it.  Overlay is your changes.  There
should not be a need to move something from overlay to base in the use of
this feature in its intended use case.

As with any feature, it is important to understand the parameters of the
feature and what it is intended to be used for.  Use outside those parameters
often does not work like expected.

The interaction through Dev Studio is generally effective and is working well
for customers.  There are a few things that are showing up where we can make
things more efficient (like allowing you to overlay a field and us helping by
overlaying the form automatically if it is not already overlaid rather than
making you overlay the form first and then the field).

The one area where there has been some confusion is the area of converting into
the use of the feature in an existing environment.  This is an important
area.  Originally, there was a discussion about how much we could help here and
concern that we could not get 100% right so maybe we shouldn't do anything other
than document how you convert.  But, we decided that this wasn't enough so we
built a conversion utility (BPCU) to provide that conversion assistance.  It
cannot be 100% perfect but we did run tests on a number of large customer
environments during development and resolved the vast majority of issues so
that it was converting those environments (and they were large ones with
various levels of the applications and various levels of customization)
effectively with minimal manual cleanup needed.

This leads to point #1 -- the use of the overlay feature is optional.  You do
not have to use it.  You can set the configuration of the system into base mode,
leave everything in base mode, not use overlays at all.  The sytem will perform
EXACTLY like it always had from a definition perspective.  All your definitions
are in the same layer.  You

When I have trouble with default field height (radio button or character 
field), I find it helpful to temporarily set the height to 2 lines, then set 
it back to 1.  That usually works.

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with DS where when I modify the layout of a radio 
button, it changes the height to 14 pixels, which cuts off the lower portion 
of the radio button.  The height property for the field is grayed out, so I 
can't adjust it back to something reasonable.  Has anyone else had this 
problem?  Any idea how to fix it?


Thanks,

I do not recall seeing it on 7.6.03 but then I was working on that version for 
a very short time before stepping up to 7.6.04. I’ll try it on 7.6.04 and let 
you guys know if that problem still exists but I could swear it was fixed after 
some of the initial patches of 7.5.

This warning can be ignored.  It simply means that the administrator defined 
Query Result List Fields are such that it exceeds 254 characters.

You can either reduce that set of data using the Admin tool or DevStudio, add a 
Suppress-warnings 8911 line to ar.conf , or simply ignore it.

Hi everyone

I require some assistance please.

Scenario:
Regular Form

I have a Display Only form with two Character fields(varchar(3000)) Employee 
and Access ID. I have an Add button which will execute the Active Link which 
in turn will make use of the push fields action that will create an entry in a 
Regular form with the Push Field If condition of  ( $AccessID$ = 
'Request_ID_ServiceCAT') AND ( $Employee$ = 'Employee') [Create if No request 
match] and [Do Nothing if Any request match]. I also push the values from the 
Display form to the Regular form. 
Field Name: Value:
Request_ID_ServiceCAT   AccessID
EmployeeEmployee

*   The first time I run it, it works and create the entry in the Regular 
Form.
*   If I try to add the same entry with the same values in 
Request_ID_ServiceCAT and Employee it gives met the following message.
 ARWARN [8911] Some of the fields have been truncated from the 
results list because the total length of the fields and separators is greater 
than the maximum allowed 


Looking at the logs I cannot see why it gives me this particular message. 
Looking at the logs, every time I get the message(ARWARN [8911]) it does not 
try to write to another table either or what I can see in the logs.  Any help 
will be appreciated.

Thanks
