You removed it from the inbound mapping?  Did you also remove it from
the qualifications?  And is your server set up to allow unqualified
searches?

Re: Mid-Tier Caching Endeavors

2012-03-14 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

That is interesting to hear.

There are plans to install SP3 here, but this will probably be a while
before they get to it.

I guess that way to match a users group-mask against the cache will still
work the same way. In other words it will still strip away any None-groups
before doing the matching.

 I'd be curious to know what you see with this in SP3, since as near as I
 can tell it made significant changes to how the mid-tier ehcache handles
 users and groups, and changed prefetch from push to pull.

 Subject: Mid-Tier Caching Endeavors

 Hi all Mid-Tier Admins!

 I have had a series of frustrating issues with Mid-Tier 7.6.04 SP2
 caching, that I think I have now come to grips with.

 What I did was to create a Group (STUGUN) and a Role (STUGUN) to be used
 in customization of the application Remedy Incident Management. The role
 granted access to a set of ACTLs.

 What happened was that Mid-Tier failed to recache things sometimes, and
 some users with this group (STUGUN) got access to the ACTLs, and some did
 not.

 The same user could get different results depending on which Mid-Tier he
 accessed.

 My error, I think, is that the STUGUN-Group was set defined as a
 None-Group.

 As it was mapped to a Role, it worked fine to assign permission to it, and
 it also worked fine in Remedy User.

 When Mid-Tier does its caching, it will create a unique Group-combination
 based on each users unique combination of Groups.

 For example if a user belongs to:

 20213 = Service Request User (Change)

 10001 = STUGUN (None, this is my group)

 20003 = Incident User (Change)

 2 = General Access (Change)

 20032 = Asset Viewer (Change)

 100021 = 100021 (None) - this is a Support Group

 The Unique combination here will be ;2;20003;20032;20213; where the
 two groups with Group-Type None has been stripped out.

 This is because None-groups should not be able to change access in any
 way, except for row-level-access, but that is calculated in another way.

 So depending on if the first User with the unique permission map
 ;2;20003;20032;20213; belonged to my STUGUN-group or not, the cached
 file included/excluded permission to thos STUGUN-Active-Links!

 SOLUTION: Change the None-Group to View or Change

 CONCLUSION: Never map a None-Group to a Role

 Please let me know if my deductions seems flawed in any way!

Hi, Mo. If they have to acknowledge the information, then it really can't be 
read only, right? You can have a question (your disclaimer) and an answer 
(their acknowledgement) but then not do anything with it. You don't have to map 
it to the back end fullfillment form.

You could add a few more to that jar that I can think at the top of my head...

#15 Select appropriate Refresh Option for menus depending on their use (On 
Connect, On Open, 15 Minute Intervals).
#16 Use Active Link or Filter Guides where possible.
#17 Refresh your table fields only when necessary  use appropriate chunks sizes
#18 Design Flashboard variables carefully.
#19 Use Computed or Dynamic groups where possible... I’m guessing this does 
impact performance too??

I’m sure there are other performance related AR System related parameters 
Might be a good idea to compile a good list more relevant to our current 
versions..

RESOLVED: Web Service GetList issue

The issue is resolved. We were sending the incorrect qualification. 
The correct qualification is

s0:Qualification'DeviceException'=Yes/s0:Qualification
 
And incorrect qualification we were sending

s0:DeviceExceptionYes/s0:DeviceException

Also, I was able to remove startRecord and maxLimit parameters from Input 
Mapping successfully.

Service Calls and $PROCESS$ Application-Copy-Field-Value

2012-03-14 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

I am doing a service-call with a Request ID specified, as I need access to
the database values.

The problem is that I adding values to a Display-Only-field with $PROCESS$
Application-Copy-Field-Value, and all field values are NULL.

The reason is that the system only brings up database values from fields
that I actually access within any of my filters, and by using
Application-Copy-Field-Value I am using values the AR Server are unaware
of...

I tried to bring in my request with Set-Fields from the form in question
where ('1' = $1$) while checking the Matching-IDs checkbox. The
unfortunate result was that the Display-Only-fields originally sent to the
Service-Call was NULLed out.

I even tried to fake a push-fields that never really pushed, but the
system was too smart to fall for that one.

Does anyone have any suggestions, less creating one Set-Fields ('1' = $1$)
per form where I do this, where I specify all non-display-only fields in
each form...

This really seems to be a bug to me. If you use
Application-Copy-Field-Value in a Service-Call, it should trigger on that
and bring it up from the database...

Escalation to delete values?

2012-03-14 Thread richard....@bwc.state.oh.us
I normally do the infrastructure tasks but now I want to move
into being able to work with forms, filters, escalations, etc. What
I want to do is to use an escalation to delete a huge amount of
server statistics entries from a system. Is it possible to use an
escalation to do this? If so, how do I specify to delete all the
values from the server statistics form? I'm new at this so
assume I'm a total newbie. Anyone who has an exported
def file of how you actually did it would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: Performance Tuning

2012-03-14 Thread Joe Martin D'Souza
Nice! I’ve done better.. I’ve crashed servers :-)

We shouldn’t forget about tweaking the DB.

Often many leave the DB at default settings. This in my opinion could never be 
optimal settings. For e.g. the MS-SQL server had its default packet sizes 
during the version 6.5 days at 4096 K. I recall even a recent version of MS-SQL 
(I think 2005) had the same packet size as default. I wouldn’t be surprised if 
the latest and greatest version has the same size too.. Network speeds have 
grown 10 times more with better physical network resources. Application sizes 
have grown significantly too.. Processing powers on CPU’s and server memories 
have quadrupled over the past 10 years.. I’m not a DBA but I’m certain 
parameters like packet size, server memory etc. ought to be looked at and 
tweaked to take advantage of greater  available resources.

#15 Select appropriate Refresh Option for menus depending on their use (On 
Connect, On Open, 15 Minute Intervals).
#16 Use Active Link or Filter Guides where possible.
#17 Refresh your table fields only when necessary  use appropriate chunks 
sizes
#18 Design Flashboard variables carefully.
#19 Use Computed or Dynamic groups where possible... I’m guessing this does

I’m sure there are other performance related AR System related

perl soap lite examples

2012-03-14 Thread Andrew C Goodall
For anymore who is interested these are some Perl SOAP::Lite examples

Small but important CORRECTION

Application-Query-Delete-Entry form name Qualification required to retrieve 
entries to delete

I forgot to type form name on the second option..

You could have an escalation run on a control form if you are using the second 
option, which will be a lot quicker than the first individual delete, if it is 
possible to generate a query that would match all the entries that you require

You might also consider using the form's archiving function. Go to
Form--Form Properties and set the Archiving to "Delete from
Source". Then you set a qualification and a time, just like an
escalation. In fact, my Server Statistics form already has
archiving setup to move records to another form-- you might want to
check this in any case to disable it and make sure you are really
deleting the records. There might be a ton of additional ancient
records in the Server Statistics Archive form, for instance. . .

  We're rolling out an app for staff that normally don't use Remedy, and a
  usability concern is browser pop-up blockers.   (I know the login page
 warns
  about pop-ups, but I've seen it ignored  I've done it myself.)  This is a
  rather detailed Remedy form, and if they get a pop-up  have to reload the
  page, the user input is lost.
 
  I took out message actions from my workflow to avoid this, but there are
  still Required fields:  if left blank, they use a pop-up box.
 
  Does anyone have a creative way for getting around this for required
 fields?
  Maybe some trick where the fields are not really required on the database

I hid the submit button  most of the menu items for that form, and since I had 
a custom button for submit/modify already, this worked out fine.

 

Thanks!

Do not forget to disable the change flag on every field that gets a value 
(hidden field or otherwise), else the default form submit button will get 
enabled. It may also be a good idea to hide the form bar, so that button is not 
visible, in which case it is not necessary to turn off the change flag on 
fields...

Hi Ian,

 

The issue would be stopping things before I hit a submit or modify action, I 
think – because then the system will generate a pop-up (on 7.5).

 

So, like Joe suggested, I think I’ll try a custom submit/modify button and 
display the text/color like you mention if the needed fields are null.  This 
avoids any submit or modify action actually being initiated until the needed 
fields are filled in.  I guess I could even leave the fields as Required and do 
this.

 

Thanks guys,

David

David,

One way to avoid pop-ups could be as follows:

  a.. parse the form on submit and check if any of the required fields are 
blank 
  b.. if so, make a hidden warning text field visible saying something like 
please enter required data 
  c.. change the label colour on the fields that are required.
Would that fit the bill?

You might also consider using the form's archiving function.  Go to Form--Form 
Properties and set the Archiving to Delete from Source.  Then you set a 
qualification and a time, just like an escalation.In fact, my Server 
Statistics form already has archiving setup to move records to another form-- 
you might want to check this in any case to disable it and make sure you are 
really deleting the records.  There might be a ton of additional ancient 
records in the Server Statistics Archive form, for instance. . .

No problem. Sorry for blasting the arslist, the blocked attachment
emails kept coming from scanmailale...@ecolab.com so I assumed that was
the arslist attachment scanning process.

A few years back it took me quite a bit of time to figure out this
process, with a lot of help from google. Stumbling across SOAP::Lite and
understanding the difference between calling the WSDL Vs AXIS Soap
Address were the keys.  

I hope these samples are helpful to someone else who has the same need.
I just happened to have an internal request from our Netcool folks today
for these perl samples which prompted me to think of the arslist
community too. :)

invalid relational operator exception from QualifierInfo

2012-03-14 Thread Anthony Jurado Jr
Hi,

I have a Java program which uses getListEntry().   I use a QualifierInfo
object to create the qualification for getListEntry.  The qualification
looks like this:

  QualifierInfo qualifier = remedyConn.parseQualification(arForm,
'Associated Asset' = \atl01a\);

Which results in this exception:
CreateRemedyTicket.getSchema ARExceptionERROR (552): Failure during
SQL operation to the database; ORA-00920: invalid relational operator
ERROR (552): Failure during SQL operation to the database; ORA-00920:
invalid relational operator
at com.bmc.arsys.api.ProxyJRpcBase.verifyStatus(Unknown Source)
at com.bmc.arsys.api.ProxyJRpcBase.a(Unknown Source)
at com.bmc.arsys.api.ProxyJRpcBase.arCall(Unknown Source)

at com.bmc.arsys.api.ARServerUser.getListEntry(Unknown Source)
 at CreateRemedyTicket.init(CreateRemedyTicket.java:42)
at CreateRemedyTicket.main(CreateRemedyTicket.java:94)

Oddly, if I change the equal sign to LIKE the query works:

QualifierInfo qualifier = remedyConn.parseQualification(arForm,
'Associated Asset' LIKE \atl01a\);  // works

I have other qualifiers for different fields on the same form in which use
the equal sign with no problem.  E.g.:

QualifierInfo qualifier = remedyConn.parseQualification(arForm,
'Summary' = \System Down\);  // works

The properties for the Summary and Associated Asset are the same with the
following two exceptions:

Entry Mode is Required for the Summary field (which works as expected) and
optional for the Associated Asset (which doesn't work).
Input Length is 254 for the Summary field and 0 for the Associated Asset
field.

I would appreciate any suggestions!

Re: Performance Tuning

2012-03-14 Thread Jose Huerta
About the recommendation of using AL instead of Filters to increase
performance, I know that BMC recommends it, but I think that is a big
mistake. In fact it can increase performance, but at the price of degrading
the business logic layer. I can explain it with an example: Tell a Java
developer to move the business logic code from the server to javascript to
free server resources. Just this morning I published a post that contains
this point of view, what a coincidence!

Re: Performance Tuning

2012-03-14 Thread Axton
The things that slow down applications the most are the work the database
has to do and the chatter on the network.  Both of these things can be
address 90% through application design.

What do I mean by application design?  In it's simplest form, I mean the
way you store and reference data.  There are things that a person can do
to make the presentation nice, but you pay a price for those conveniences.

In relation to the database, applications that push lots of data around are
going to be inherently slower than applications that do not push lots of
data around.  The easiest way to address this is to store information only
once, and read/reference it from that single location.

In relation to the network, applications that talk back and forth a lot are
going to be inherently slower than applications that perform all their work
in a single request/response pair (the ideal scenario).  Active links that
set fields, table field refreshes, reading menu values, images embedded in
your forms, etc. all require a trip to the server and back.  Each active
link or form objects that performs one of these operations requires a round
trip.  The more round trips you have the slower things will be.

There are limitations to what Remedy can and can not do natively to address
these 2 items.  Workflow, join forms, etc. can only take you so far, and to
remove the hurdles that Remedy can not address natively requires that you
work outside Remedy.  Some things that commonly come up in this category
include:
- database tuning (how you store data, how you configure the database, the
disk configuration or storage subsystem characteristics)
- data access [one trip to do it all] (join forms only give a limited set
of capabilities, to extend beyond that you need to look into other things:
plugins, database views, etc.)

At the end of the day, the decision that has to be made is
the trade-off between visual characteristics (capabilities) and
performance.  Everyone will fall in a different location with respect to
these two competing interests.  One has to keep in mind that the balance
chosen, once implemented, can not be easily changed.  This is why it is
critically important to define the goals before the design.

Those are the things that can have the most drastic impact to the
performance of your system, though it is not something that can be
addressed with applications that already exist.

My arserver is never close to 100% utilization; in fact it is rarely above
10% utilization.  I don't see that the arserver needs the work to be
offloaded.  What I do see is that those 60 round trips to the server to
load a form increases the page load time by 20 seconds.

Ah, I am following you now.  Instead of having multiple sets of redundant
Active Links (say to refresh a set of tables) for different actions, put
one set in a guide and then you just need individual ALs to call the guide
instead of duplicating the action ALs for different conditions.  Basically
make  subroutines.

Re: Performance Tuning

2012-03-14 Thread Axton
As far as the work is concerned, the net cost of the operations is the
same, when using an active link guide versus an active link, to perform
some set of actions.  The difference should be negligible.

Now, if you could somehow send one request to the arserver and retrieve the
data for all the table fields at once, that would be a different story.  It
would also be a different story if the javascript used asynchronous calls
to refresh the table fields.  The active link processing is serial though;
this is why the output to the logs is serial and why the request/response
pairs are serial.

I think it would be a grand change if they could extend the active link
processing (and subsequently, the javascript used to emulate the active
link processing) to break down the workflow and make a determination on
when synchronous/asynchronous calls could be used.  I would even take the
ability to manually specify which calls are asynchronous and which are
synchronous (where the branching in the execution can occur) and define the
synchronization points in the workflow.  This change would go a long way on
the performance of the applications and it would let you have the best of
both worlds (visual characteristics and performance).

Yes in regular programing sense it’s a sub-routine. Makes the application light 
weight. Its not the hardest hitter of them all when performance tuning an app, 
but it does help in the end. It probably accounts to trimming down the size of 
the app by at least 5% if not more..

Re: Performance Tuning

2012-03-14 Thread Randeep Atwal
If you refresh multiple tables via one active link, it now treats them as one 
roundtrip between client and server, verified with fiddler.

I believe this is 7.6.4 forward, there are good opportunities for some 
optimization if you see multiple refreshes on unrelated tables (order of 
refreshes cannot be controlled when this is done)

Subject: Re: Performance Tuning

As far as the work is concerned, the net cost of the operations is the
same, when using an active link guide versus an active link, to perform
some set of actions.  The difference should be negligible.

Now, if you could somehow send one request to the arserver and retrieve the
data for all the table fields at once, that would be a different story.  It
would also be a different story if the javascript used asynchronous calls
to refresh the table fields.  The active link processing is serial though;
this is why the output to the logs is serial and why the request/response
pairs are serial.

I think it would be a grand change if they could extend the active link
processing (and subsequently, the javascript used to emulate the active
link processing) to break down the workflow and make a determination on
when synchronous/asynchronous calls could be used.  I would even take the
ability to manually specify which calls are asynchronous and which are
synchronous (where the branching in the execution can occur) and define the
synchronization points in the workflow.  This change would go a long way on
the performance of the applications and it would let you have the best of
both worlds (visual characteristics and performance).

 Does anyone know where I can find a Performance Tuning guide or white
 paper for the following AR System Server versions?

 

 7.1 and 7.6.04.

 

 I have gone through the Optimizing and Troubleshooting Guide for both
 versions but I thought there was a more detailed Performance Tuning guide
 out there somewhere. I have gone through BMCs documentation for both
 versions and have search the BMC Communities and have not found

BMC White Paper 85503 Performance Tuning for Business Service Management is a 
good starting point.

FTS Plugin issues in 7.6.04

2012-03-14 Thread Nathan Aker
Anyone else experiencing major issues with the FTS plugin in 7.6.04?   We have 
been battling continual issues with the FTS plugin in all 3 of our environments 
since upgrading to 7.6.04. The errors are typically some derivative of error 
in plugin: ARSYS.ARF.FTS with different iterations of additional log 
information to accompany it.   Our FTS results sporadically either display no 
matches, or the user gets an error when searching.

In my testing last Oct-Nov applying SP2 to an SP1 system consistently hosed the 
FTS plugin, and the only solution support came up with was to wait for SP3.  
I have not seen SP3 do it on three servers so far, and am scheduled to apply it 
to production this month.
