Re: 'field' != 'DB.field'

2012-12-04 Thread Jiri Pospisil
Raj,

You mentioned API update and from the condition you suggested below, it looks 
like the update in fact sets the field value to zero length character, i.e. “”.
That in my experience is different from NULL value, which would explain why 
your filter is firing.
Also looking at your logic in the filter, to me it seems that the second set 
field will always result in saying value changes from “new value” to “new 
value” as I cannot see where the old value would come from.

Hope this helps

** Thanks Dale. Based on lot of discussions on this topic, I decided not to 
involve TR to avoid any complexities.(In-spite of benefits of using TR)
but looks like I would have to give that a try.

Also, I was thinking to try something like below:
('field' != 'DB.field') AND ('field' != )

** Hi,
I have gone through various discussions on 'field' != 'DB.field' on the forum 
here but still little confused.
Currently, we have a code 'field' != 'DB.field' and looks like it tracks all 
changes to the field.
It is even tracking null value change as well.
For Example, I am updating Audit log something like value changed from A to B.
But I do see entries of value changed from  to  

Would this Run If qual in filter also tracks when a null is pushed to this 
field from API.
My understanding is when a null is pushed, field has a transaction value of 
null but which is = to DB.field, then why is this filter firing?
Did anyone encounter such a case?
As I would like to stop logging value changed from  to   in the audit, as it 
is of no use.
Pl advise.

Re: 'field' != 'DB.field'

Hi,

The string you suggested tracks ALL changes, regardless of API or client:
'field' != 'DB.field'

If you want to skip the situation where a field is set to NULL, just do:
'field' != 'DB.field' AND 'field' != $NULL$

My recommendation is actually to NEVER use the 'TR.field' value, except in
very rare circumstances. And definitely not if you are looking for changes
to a field. 'TR.field' has NOTHING to do with changes.

New command line tool RRR|MenuToNav added

2012-12-04 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

This tool converts your old-style forms with Menu Bars for starting
Active-Links to the new Horizontal Navigation field supported by Mid-Tier.

I am not sure exactly how much of a problem this is for you, but I had a
situation with a custom application with some 400 forms, where it turned
out that 87 of them had Menu Bar items, and many of them in multiple
views. The total number of Menu Bar items was 933.

To reduce the manual work of deleting these 933 fields and adding some new
buttons manually to trigger the underlying Active-Links, I decided to
create a tool to automate the process.

Sample execution:
rrrMenuToNav.exe -i menubar400forms.def -o navigation87forms.def

I think that further explanation might be superfluous...

Hi,

Good to hear that there were some interest out there. But I guess if it
solves a problem for me, there should be other candidates.

I should add that after I imported my 87 converted forms, I had to go in
and place the Horizontal Navigation field at a suitable position in the
form. So there is still some manual work left for you to do...

Hi Jason. To answer your question, we're about to switch over to ITSM after
the new year. Upgrading the 6.3 server is a band-aid to make sure that our
servers are DoD compliant. 7.5 is the first version that BMC says will run
on something greater than 2003.

 Jiri,

  

 Regarding the logic in the filters, Raj said:

  

 “Firing this filter on modify with RUN IF as 'field' != 'DB.field', three 
 sets fields, 1st set fields - setting the new value to tmp field.

 2nd set fields - entry in Audit log - Value changed from $field$ to $tmp$ 
 3rd set field - clearing the tmp field.”

  

 I think it depends on if he’s setting the value from “current transaction” 
 or from the “server” (same form matching on request id) as to whether he 
 gets the new or old value in $tmp$.  If from the “server”, then it should 
 work, though the audit should actually read “Value changed from $tmp$ to 
 $field$” instead of the other way around.  At least that works for me.

Unless you are doing some other work the $NULL$ will look like “” to a human 
(but not to a system)

‘field’ != ‘DB.field’ should produce the following results:   

   FieldDB.FieldResult of  ‘Field’ != ‘DB.field’   
   NULL NULLTRUE   
   “”   NULLFALSE   
   SomeText NULLFALSE   

As data is stored in the database the ARS system converts strings of 0 length 
(empty strings, aka “” ) to NULL.  

Off the top of my head …
Since you want to treat “” the same as NULL you may want to use a Run-If 
something like

( ‘field’ != ‘DB.field’ ) AND (NOT (( ‘field’ = “” ) AND ( ‘DB.field’ = $NULL$ 
)))

Re: 'field' != 'DB.field'

2012-12-04 Thread Ben Chernys
Oops.  You’ve got a syntax and semantic error in your expression.  You need 
quotes and the last and should be an or.  A single value is hardly likely to be 
NULL and “”.

 

(  field  !=  DB.field  ) AND (NOT ((  field  = “”) OR (  DB.field  = $NULL$ )))

 

I know it’s just a typo J

 

The API program should not be inserting a zero length string but rather the 
“ARValueStruct” of type NULL.

 

I’m not sure what dev studio does with that expression though.  It may convert 
the “” to $NULL$.  

Meta-Update certainly considers them equivalent in expressions, assignments, 
and queries.

Raj,

You mentioned API update and from the condition you suggested below, it looks 
like the update in fact sets the field value to zero length character, i.e.   . 

That in my experience is different from NULL value, which would explain why 
your filter is firing.

Also looking at your logic in the filter, to me it seems that the second set 
field will always result in saying value changes from  new value  to  new value 
 as I cannot see where the old value would come from.

Hope this helps

Re: Using a BIRT Editor to Create or Modify Web Reports

2012-12-04 Thread Easter, David
There are currently no short term plans to support later versions.

I do not expect that later versions will work since the editor version is 
limited by the version of the embedded engine.  Later editors will potentially 
insert constructs that are not recognized by the AR System web reporting engine 
- thus later editors are not supported.

If/when the version of the embedded engine is updated to a later version, I 
expect that an equivalent version of the editor would be supported.

If you have complicated reporting needs, BMC recommends considering the BMC 
Analytics product - which is designed to fulfill the business needs of 
customers with mature reporting requirements.

I hate Outlook at times as I had double quotes in what I sent.

 

And actually I wanted the AND as I was specifically looking to exclude the case 
where the field from the API program was the empty string (double quotes) AND 
the database was a NULL.  With an OR the filter would skip logging to the audit 
trail a case of  setting the field from NULL to anything

 

 (  field  !=  DB.field  ) AND (NOT ((  field  = “”) OR (  DB.field  = 
$NULL$ )))   

 ( “X”  != $NULL$ ) AND (NOT ((  “X”  = “”) OR ( $NULL$  = $NULL$ )))   

 ( TRUE ) AND (NOT (( FALSE ) OR ( TRUE )))

 ( TRUE ) AND (NOT ( TRUE ))

 

You are correct that the API should use the NULL but you can’t always rely on 
other people to program the same way

Oops.  You’ve got a syntax and semantic error in your expression.  You need 
quotes and the last and should be an or.  A single value is hardly likely to be 
NULL and “”.

 

(  field  !=  DB.field  ) AND (NOT ((  field  = “”) OR (  DB.field  = $NULL$ )))

 

I know it’s just a typo J

 

The API program should not be inserting a zero length string but rather the 
“ARValueStruct” of type NULL.

 

I’m not sure what dev studio does with that expression though.  It may convert 
the “” to $NULL$.  

Meta-Update certainly considers them equivalent in expressions, assignments, 
and queries.

Unless you are doing some other work the $NULL$ will look liketo a human 
(but not to a system)

 

field  !=  DB.field  should produce the following results:   

 

   Field DB.Field   Result of   Field  !=  
DB.field

  NULL  NULL TRUE   

  Empty string   NULL FALSE   

  SomeTextNULL FALSE   

 

As data is stored in the database the ARS system converts strings of 0 length 
(empty strings, aka) to NULL.  

 

Off the top of my head  

Since you want to treatthe same as NULL you may want to use a Run-If 
something like

 

(  field  !=  DB.field  ) AND (NOT ((  field  =) AND (  DB.field  = $NULL$ 
)))

8.0.0 SP1 now 8.1.00 - deferred to CY2013

2012-12-04 Thread Easter, David
Hi All,

  For those that hadn't yet figured it out, 8.0.0 SP1 was not released as 
originally planned in November.  Wanted to informally let everyone know that 
the content that was in 8.0.0 SP1 has been reclassified as a minor release, 
8.1.00.  With the change in classification, the release will go through a short 
release validation cycle and has been delayed out to 1HCY2013.  This version 
change applies to ITSM Suite applications, AR System and Atrium Core.

  I can't further comment on the content in a public forum, but for those that 
attended WWRUG2012 and saw my presentation, it's that content still.

  As you're probably seen, patches are being released against 8.0.00 to address 
critical defects in the short term.

Re: Does $VUI$ work in 7.6.04?

Thanks for the info everyone. I should have provided more details on my issue. 

I am setting a bunch of fields through an active link that fires on window 
load. In the Run If qualification for the active link I put $VUI$ = View Movie 
View. I assumed that this would only fire the active link if the form view 
equaled View Movie View. 

It didn't work, so to test I created a character field and set its default 
value to $VUI$ to see what was being populated. It appears blank. So maybe I

 Hi,

 The string you suggested tracks ALL changes, regardless of API or client:
 'field' != 'DB.field'

 If you want to skip the situation where a field is set to NULL, just do:
 'field' != 'DB.field' AND 'field' != $NULL$

 My recommendation is actually to NEVER use the 'TR.field' value, except in
 very rare circumstances. And definitely not if you are looking for changes
 to a field. 'TR.field' has NOTHING to do with changes.

  Hi,
  I have gone through various discussions on 'field' != 'DB.field' on the
  forum here but still little confused.
  Currently, we have a code 'field' != 'DB.field' and looks like it tracks
  all changes to the field.
  It is even tracking null value change as well.
  For Example, I am updating Audit log something like value changed from A
  to B.
  But I do see entries of value changed from  to  
 
  Would this Run If qual in filter also tracks when a null is pushed to
 this
  field from API.
  My understanding is when a null is pushed, field has a transaction value
  of
  null but which is = to DB.field, then why is this filter firing?
  Did anyone encounter such a case?
  As I would like to stop logging value changed from  to   in the audit,
  as
  it is of no use.
  Pl advise.
  Thanks,
  Raj

Try this, create an AL that fires on the same condition, and have it display a

LJ,

I was able to see the View Movie View in the message. I still don't 
understand why it doesn't show up in the character field when I set it as the 
default value. 

So now my issue is, I don't want to set a field with the value, the whole point 
was to be able to put the $VUI$ = View Movie View in the AL qualification, so 
it only ran and set fields if in the View Movie View view. The reason being, 
if someone is on the Default Admin View I want the user to be able to search, 
and setting the fields with the AL is keeping a user from being able to search.

Notify with Work Info

2012-12-04 Thread Brittain, Mark
HI All,

I need to do a push field to a custom form and run a notify filter when a work 
info update is made in the HPD:Help Desk or CHG: Infrastructure Change forms. I 
have an active link (EO:0) that does the push but the 'z1D_Note' data is not 
included in the push.

Depending if you save, use the save button or the add button, there are a 
number of active link guides that handle and the call guide active links also 
have EO:0.  I could change the EO of the call guides to 1 or put my active link 
in the guides. Not sure what the best approach would be to handle this and not 
break something else.

ARS 7.6.04 PS3
ITSM 7.6.04 SP2

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Elry,

 

You could also look into JasperSoft as a solution.  It allows for dashboards, 
scheduled reports, ad-hoc reports, report distribution (via email), etc.  It 
can also be integrated into Remedy, so that you can launch reports from within 
your applications, and/or display them in the application.

 

If you’d like more information, contact me off-list, please.

 

Thanks,

 

Matt R.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Using a BIRT Editor to Create or Modify Web Reports

2012-12-04 Thread Stroud, Natalie K
Analytics is a separate product – and I’ll warn you, the licensing is a bit 
pricy.  Analytics comes with the ITSM universe by default.  If you wanted to 
run reports that pull info from both ITSM and a custom Remedy app, you’d need 
to customize the ITSM universe to include your custom apps.  If you truly 
didn’t need ITSM data for reports, then I expect you’d need to build a separate 
universe and I have no idea how complicated a procedure that might be.

I would also recommend doing some research on what versions of AR System 
Analytics can link to.  I’m thinking that we’ve had to either upgrade our 
Analytics in parallel with another upgrade we did (couldn’t say offhand whether 
that was AR System or ITSM) or else delay upgrading Analytics in order to 
ensure compatibility with our existing system.

Good luck!

Re: AR System ITSM Upgrades (we are WAY behind)

2012-12-04 Thread Mary C.
Thanks, Christopher.  I had forgotten that you said you HAD to upgrade SLM, 
which makes sense.  I'm not sure what we are going to do in that regard because 
I would really like to do clean installs  then migrate data after reading your 
posts.  

I can understand why that approach won't work for SLM, but our Service Targets 
are really simple.  I think if we build new servers from scratch, then create 
new Service Targets, then transfer incidents, we might get good SLA data.  Our 
Service Targets are on Incident only, for Resolution and are based on the 
Customer Company, which never changes.  And they are based on the Report Date 
field, which won't change, so I think the Due Date/Time will be computed 
correctly.  I am getting ready to set up some simple tests now to transfer 
incidents from a 7.x server to 7.x server just to see if the SLA's on the 
target server compute the due date correctly

I have database views to read the old SLM measurement data for reports, so I 
could copy those into tables in the new database and then create reports 
unioning the old SLM measurements for closed incidents to the new SLM 
measurment data I hope

I really appreciate all your input!

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Using a BIRT Editor to Create or Modify Web Reports

Check out Yurbi at www.yurbi.com it supports ITSM as well as Custom ARS
applications and any other database, csv, excel, or API source you have
data.   It's in the breed of modern self-service, agile BI tools and comes
without all the upfront and ongoing costs associated with Business Objects
and older, legacy BI tools.

http://www.yurbi.com/solutions/bmc-itsm-remedy/

For the custom app you mention,  Yurbi Community is free for 1 data source,
 so you could have 2 users use Yurbi to build an unlimited number of
reports and dashboards and share up to 5 of those for absolutely free.

Disclosure:  I work for 5000fish the company behind Yurbi,

thanks,

David

 I suspect that price will be an issue for us.  End of year - not much
 funds remaining.

 Analytics is a separate product – and I’ll warn you, the licensing is a
 bit pricy.  Analytics comes with the ITSM universe by default.  If you
 wanted to run reports that pull info from both ITSM and a custom Remedy
 app, you’d need to customize the ITSM universe to include your custom
 apps.  If you truly didn’t need ITSM data for reports, then I expect you’d
 need to build a separate universe and I have no idea how complicated a
 procedure that might be.



 I would also recommend doing some research on what versions of AR System
 Analytics can link to.  I’m thinking that we’ve had to either upgrade our
 Analytics in parallel with another upgrade we did (couldn’t say offhand
 whether that was AR System or ITSM) or else delay upgrading Analytics in
 order to ensure compatibility with our existing system.



 Good luck!

 Should they contact the local Sales Rep for a price on Business
 Analytics, or is this a product that comes with ARS.

 I suppose it could.  It comes with a Business Objects universe tailored
 to BMC Remedy applications but when you purchase the Premium upgrade (which
 is required to integrate with the Mid-Tier anyway), you get the
 entitlements to all the features within Business Objects Premium
 Enterprise.  From there you could create your own custom reports with AR
 System as the data source, I’d expect.

 Hi David...

 *Can BMC Analytics be used with custom applications?*

 There are currently no short term plans to support later versions.

 I do not expect that later versions will work since the editor version is
 limited by the version of the embedded engine.  Later editors will
 potentially insert constructs that are not recognized by the AR System web
 reporting engine - thus later editors are not supported.

 If/when the version of the embedded engine is updated to a later version,
 I expect that an equivalent version of the editor would be supported.

 If you have complicated reporting needs, BMC recommends considering the
 BMC Analytics product - which is designed to fulfill the business needs of
 customers with mature reporting requirements.

ITSM install user account in Linux

2012-12-04 Thread Hodgdon, Paul
I was wondering if there is a best practice or pros/cons to which user you use 
in Linux to install the ITSM suite?  Does anyone have any recommendations?
