Re: Mid-Tier Caching Endeavors
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. Christopher Strauss, Ph.D. Call Tracking Administration Manager University of North Texas Computing IT Center http://itsm.unt.edu/ -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Misi Mladoniczky Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 8:30 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG 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?

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

Re: Performance Tuning
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.

Re: Escalation to delete values?
** 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. :) Regards, Andrew Goodall Software Engineer 2 | Development Services | jcpenney . www.jcp.com -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Misi Mladoniczky Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 2:15 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: perl soap lite examples Hi, Thank you Andrew.

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.ProxyJRpc.ARGetListEntry(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! thanks in advance, Tony Jurado Release Manager, Services Engineering IBM Security Services ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are

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.

Re: Performance Tuning
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.

Re: Performance Tuning
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.

Re: Performance Tuning
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.

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).

Re: Performance Tuning
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..

If you refresh multiple tables via one active link, it now treats them as one roundtrip between client and server, verified with fiddler.

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..

FTS Plugin issues in 7.6.04
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.

Re: FTS Plugin issues in 7.6.04
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.
