Email engine question

2013-06-07 Thread Frex Popo
Hello everyone,
 
We imported a CA certificate to the keystore (this was done by the unix amin 
team):
 
keytool -import -v -alias myserver -file mycert.cer -keystore cacerts
 
Before I start testing the eamil engine I performed a quick test with openssl 
client and get the following errors.
 
$ openssl s_client -crlf -connect pop3.server.com:995 -starttls pop3
CONNECTED(0004)
depth=0 /CN=pop3.server.com
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
verify return:1
depth=0 /CN=pop3.server.com
verify error:num=27:certificate not trusted
verify return:1
depth=0 /CN=pop3.server.com
verify error:num=21:unable to verify the first certificate
verify return:1
---
Any clues as to what the problem could be?
Also in the email engine start up script the Java Home is pointing to 
/usr/ar/common/Sun/jdk/jdk1.6.0_10
 
JAVA_DIR=/usr/ar/common/Sun/jdk/jdk1.6.0_10
 
Should the keystore file be copied to the security folder under this file 
system for the email engine to be to read it?
 
/usr/ar/common/Sun/jdk/jdk1.5.0_16/jre/lib/security/cacerts
 
Any thoughts on this will be very much appreciated.

Hi,
The cert should be installed into the default Java JRE keystore that the
email engine is using.

Cheers

6.3 upgrade options?

2013-06-07 Thread Dave Barber
All,

We have a legacy Remedy 6.3 application, and since we upgraded all of our
clients to 7.6.04 for our primary incident applications (server soon to be
upgraded, its currently on 7.0.1) we've experienced some  unexpected
behaviour (client crashing).

There are a few options - take the application on the 6.3 platform to the
primary incident platform, drop the application for something out of the
box (ie. SRM) or in the shorter term upgrade the server from Remedy 6.3

Database is Oracle 9, I'm thinking that in the shorter term a sensible
approach would be to upgrade the 6.3 install to 7.0.1.

Shouldn't be any issues with this, should there?  No application changes,
licensing shouldn't be an issue.  Just a quick install of 7.0.1, shouldn't
take long  :)

Regards

Dave

Re: 6.3 upgrade options?

2013-06-07 Thread Grooms, Frederick W
Just to be clear ...  This is a version 6.3 Remedy application (like ITSM, DRM, 
...) running on a 7.0.1 ARS Server against an Oracle 9 database and the 7.6.04 
client is crashing?

What patch version of the 7.6.04 client are you running?

I'm not sure if upgrading the application from 6.3 to 7.01 will change what may 
be crashing the client (but others on the list may know better about the 
canned applications from Remedy).

Re: 6.3 upgrade options?

2013-06-07 Thread Drew Shuller
Dave, this is an interesting thread because we're having the exact same
issues: 6.3 legacy app, upgraded ms db to 2008, upgraded server o/s to 2008
32-bit and ARS to 7.5, the user client to 7.5 and then to 7.6.04 running XP
SP3 compatibility.

Before the upgrade, certain user tools were crashing when a display-only
form ran workflow that presented the users with a dialog box that let them
choose which assignment group to show in a table on the form. That issue
was solved when we upgraded ARS and the user tool.

Other issues popped up where some workflow was causing the user tool to run
extremely slow for 15 minutes. It was intermittent but one person on the
help desk would experience this when setting up a ticket and selecting
certain menus. It was never the same and I never ran it down. Finally, it
cratered his pc. I attributed it to a combination between a tweaked DoD o/s
image and a p/c that was on it's way out anyway. As of now, he was the only
one experiencing the problem.

If you have the time, I would upgrade everything to something less ancient
:-), stopping at 7.6.04 if you must have the user too. Or...get everything
working on the mid-tier, which you'll have to do at some point in the
future anyway.

Sorry I can't solve your problems, but maybe this information will help in
some way.

Re: 6.3 upgrade options?

2013-06-07 Thread Dave Barber
Our current environments :
6.3 server running in-house applications against an Oracle 9 database
(circa 100 concurrent users)
7.0.1 patch 012 server running in-house applications against an Oracle 10
database - this is the one being upgraded to 7.6.04 (1400 concurrent users)
7.5 server running ITSM (Change) and CMDB

We've upgraded the clients to 7.6.04 (patch 004 - the latest and final
version) and for most people its okay, but for a few (including me on
occasion) when accessing the 6.3 applications the 7.6.04 client is crashing.

Due to its size and use, we wouldn't be able to allocate the time to
upgrade to 7.6.04, and I'm not even sure if our hardware is up to the job
(its old, very old).  We'd likely also have to upgrade the database (don't
think Oracle 9 is supported on 7.6.04).

It would be good if we could upgrade to 7.6.04, but realistically with the
size of the application (and other potential changes in our organisation)
just migrating to a later server may be sufficient to stop the clients from
crashing - especially when we've demonstrated no issues between the 7.6.04
client and our current 7.0.1 server  applications.

Drew - my manager determined something similar with certain menu types on
6.3 that the 7.6.04 user tool just didn't like.  But sadly that only seems
like part of the solution, and as we know it isn't going to be fixed.

Mid tier is another issue entirely.  We have it in place for the ootb
applications, no-one uses it.  I'm not sure why, maybe they just like the
WUT :)

Re: 6.3 upgrade options?

2013-06-07 Thread Campbell, Paul (Paul)
I have seen issues where the Windows User tool crashes as well, I seem to see 
it more when doing GUI related activates, like clicking in a field, or trying 
to click and drag to select the value in a field, and doing a copy to new and 
clicking in a field to change data. The User tool just disappears, no error, 
nothing in the Event logs, nothing, just exits.  I am thinking it is something 
with my 7.6.04 WUT and a MSVC dll compatibility.  We are a 100% custom app 
shop, no OOTB box apps.  It only happens to me, but on 2 different machines.  
Trying to figure out what is causing this is causing me more than a few gray 
hairs since it seems to happen at the worse times.

Variable Task Template Types

2013-06-07 Thread RozzT
Hi Remedy Crew!

We've created a variable task template with the template type = Global.  

Problem:
The variable selection is not clearing-out.

For instance: 
Working several CRQs that use the Group Task Template with the variable task.
After entering the first CRQ, choosing the variable, the next CRQ that uses the 
same Group Task Template with the variable task, contains the previous variable 
selection.

Thoughts?
We're using Remedy 7.6.04

Thanks

with that Go To If Action, it's definitely supposed to be skip.

Re: 6.3 upgrade options?

2013-06-07 Thread William Rentfrow
There's been at least twice where I've seen instances where a mis-matched 
client and AR server version caused crashes.  Usually it was the server that 
crashed though due to an out-of-date API call being made from the client.

I would try to get everything versioned as closely as possible.

I have seen issues where the Windows User tool crashes as well, I seem to see 
it more when doing GUI related activates, like clicking in a field, or trying 
to click and drag to select the value in a field, and doing a copy to new and 
clicking in a field to change data. The User tool just disappears, no error, 
nothing in the Event logs, nothing, just exits.  I am thinking it is something 
with my 7.6.04 WUT and a MSVC dll compatibility.  We are a 100% custom app 
shop, no OOTB box apps.  It only happens to me, but on 2 different machines.  
Trying to figure out what is causing this is causing me more than a few gray 
hairs since it seems to happen at the worse times.

All,

We have a legacy Remedy 6.3 application, and since we upgraded all of our 
clients to 7.6.04 for our primary incident applications (server soon to be 
upgraded, its currently on 7.0.1) we've experienced some  unexpected 
behaviour (client crashing).
There are a few options - take the application on the 6.3 platform to the 
primary incident platform, drop the application for something out of the box 
(ie. SRM) or in the shorter term upgrade the server from Remedy 6.3
Database is Oracle 9, I'm thinking that in the shorter term a sensible approach 
would be to upgrade the 6.3 install to 7.0.1.
Shouldn't be any issues with this, should there?  No application changes, 
licensing shouldn't be an issue.  Just a quick install of 7.0.1, shouldn't take 
long  :)

Re: 6.3 upgrade options?

2013-06-07 Thread Dave Barber
All currently desktops are 32 bit (XP SP3).

Getting everything on the same version would be a mammoth task - we have
applications running on
- 4.5 (thats some serious legacy stuff that will not die)
- 6.3
- 7.0.1 (due the 7.6.04 upgrade)
- 7.5

One part of our desktop refresh is to rationalise the applications - we've
had 6.3, 7, 7.5 and 7.6.4 clients available and cutting that down to one
seemed like such a good idea ... it was only after we told people to
upgrade that we started to experience problems (with 6.3).  All others are
fine - 7, 7.5 and 7.6.4 work perfectly with the 7.6.4 client.

Re: 6.3 upgrade options?

2013-06-07 Thread Dave Barber
The grey hairs are coming along in leaps and bounds here, which is why I
casually suggested to management that we upgrade the 6.3 server to
something that we know tends to work with the 7.6.04 client.

4.5 is the server that needs to be decomissioned, resetting a password on
there causes every client after v7 to crash.

Re: Variable Task Template Types

2013-06-07 Thread kunal das
Variables are pieces of data (for example, in a change request or an entry
in the
parent object) that are passed to and from task groups and tasks, and into
flows in
TMS. Variable data can be generated automatically, or it can be supplied
manually by resources working on the task.

You creates variable templates that are used for mapping in to or out of
fields. Then, during the execution stage, these variables exchange data
between the task group, task, or flow at runtime.

Any task, task group, or flow can access any variable value. If no value
exists for a
variable, its value is returned as NULL.

If you have associated a Task Group -- Task Template -- Variable then
that Variable will always show in that Task Template for the Task Group
when using multiple times in a Change request.

For Example: The Variable you have mapped that is showing in the Data tab
of the Task that filed will be seen same for all the Tasks when using in a
Change Request.

Hope this helps.

I read that in the documentation too - so looks like workflow is needed to 
clear that selection after the Task is closed.

Random - Incidents Created by Incoming Email - Cannot relate a Task

2013-06-07 Thread Hennigan, Sandra
Windows 2008 r2
Oracle 11g
ARS 8.1
ITSM 8.1

I have an interesting one -

With ITSM 8.1, incoming email create functions are out of the box and work very 
well.

Except. Randomly, an Incident created by Incoming Email does not allow a user 
to relate a Task. This error is displayed:

The incident number is required for this function to work. To generate an 
incident number, select a customer. (ARERR 45281)

The Incident does have an Incident ID (and an Entry ID). Other then relating a 
Task/Task Group or AdHoc task, the Incident can be worked thru resolution; all 
other updates work including incoming email that adds a Work Info..

The common differences between incoming email Incidents that allow relating 
Tasks and those that do not - these fields are not set:
Status-PPL
Direct Contact fields

Re-associating the Customer does not set these fields on the Incident.
No ARERROR.log entry at submit time.

The People Records contain the data; some of a user’s incoming email submit 
Incidents allow for Task relate without error.

Incoming out of the box rules have not been changed.

Other than write it off to being random, any ideas what to check?

Thank you,

No need to stop/restart.  Remedy doesn't actively have the file open, so
all you need to do is rename it and a new one will be created next time
it's needed.

OT: Laptop/Hardware questions

2013-06-07 Thread Scott Barr
To all you road warriors and non-road warriors alike.

 

Which brands / models have you been using and where have you been purchasing
them?  I have always been a desktop kinda guy but am in the market for a
decent laptop.

 

It'll be running the usual productivity software like Office, etc.  As well
as a SQL Server, ARS, Mid-Tier etc.

 

I have a pretty decent idea of what I am looking for and its been a while
since I have started one of those threads and I thought I'd see what
everyone else thought.   Thoughts on CPU/RAM/Screen/Battery
Life/Expandability/Keyboard/Options/Looks/Manufacturer Support//warranty
are all equally relevant.  

 

Drives are/can be interchangeable and can be compared purely on stats but am
curious about your experiences with these as well but has anyone tried one
of the hybrid drives yet?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178340 

 

I am pretty sure I'll end up with something that has a quad core i7 ,
expanded to 6GB+ RAM and an SSD (or SSD/spinner combo).

 

Has anyone tried loading everything up on a Surface Pro yet?  With only 4GB
RAM I can't see it working all _that_ well with a full ARS install on it.
But with an SSD and a well-tuned install it may not be all that bad swapping
to disk etc.  Thoughts? (asking more out of curiosity than anything else)

 

Thank you!

 to disk etc…  Thoughts? (asking more out of curiosity than anything else)
  
 Thank you!

Re: OT: Laptop/Hardware questions

2013-06-07 Thread Tauf Chowdhury
I did a lot of research and ended up with a Sony S series 15. It was
really light, came with an extra sheet battery, quad core i7, 16g ram, blu
ray, and a 1080p screen. The free PS3 was nice too! Also, going to a Sony
store will get you better discounts. I can run a VM with all modules for
ITSM, Analytics, etc.

To all you road warriors and non-road warriors alike…



Which brands / models have you been using and where have you been
purchasing them?  I have always been a desktop kinda guy but am in the
market for a decent laptop.



It’ll be running the usual productivity software like Office, etc…  As well
as a SQL Server, ARS, Mid-Tier etc…



I have a pretty decent idea of what I am looking for and its been a while
since I have started “one of those threads” and I thought I’d see what
everyone else thought.   Thoughts on CPU/RAM/Screen/Battery
Life/Expandability/Keyboard/Options/Looks/Manufacturer Support//warranty
are all equally relevant.



Drives are/can be interchangeable and can be compared purely on stats but
am curious about your experiences with these as well but has anyone tried
one of the hybrid drives yet?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178340



I am pretty sure I’ll end up with something that has a quad core i7 ,
expanded to 6GB+ RAM and an SSD (or SSD/spinner combo).



Has anyone tried loading everything up on a Surface Pro yet?  With only 4GB
RAM I can’t see it working all _*that*_ well with a full ARS install on it…
 But with an SSD and a well-tuned install it may not be all that bad
swapping to disk etc…  Thoughts? (asking more out of curiosity than
anything else)



Thank you!

Re: Creating a new arerror.log file

2013-06-07 Thread Dinesh Kumar
 Adding one more option 

1. Open the error log file
2. Cut and past logs it in new file
3. save the empty error log file
4. Now the logs are cleaned in error logs.

Thanks,
Dinesh kumar

 It's definitely behavior I experienced with arerror.log.  It probably got
 fixed several versions ago and I never noticed.  Either that or I ran into
 a buggy deployment at one point and it shaped my habits for the last decade.

 Thanks.

 Steve,
 I can't say when it changed...all I can say is that ever since I have
 been an admin of a server, I've been doing monthly backups of the files and
 archiving them off and never had that problem.

 I HAVE had that problem with files generated on the 'Logging' tab of the
 Server Admin Consoleare you sure you aren't confusing the two?


 On Fri, Jun 7, 2013 at 1:25 PM, Steve Kallestad st...@tabtonic.comwrote:

 When did this change?

 It used to be that if you deleted the arerror.log file no new entries
 would be created until after a restart.

 Granted, I originally noticed that in the '90s...

 No need to stop/restart.  Remedy doesn't actively have the file open,
 so all you need to do is rename it and a new one will be created next time
 it's needed.

 Good afternoon everyone. Our arerror.log form is taking up a lot of
 space and I'd like to start a new one. Would I stop the server, rename the
 arrerror.log to .old, and then restart the server?
