ITSM 7.6 Email From
Hi All, Is there a way to configure multiple FROM addresses? I have the requirement to use different FROM addresses depending on the customer and the situation. As far as I can tell there are two filters used by the Notification Engine to send outgoing emails. This seems to leave me with the option of only having one FROM address configured either in the filter or defaulting to the mailbox. I am hoping that I can configure the FROM as custom or default depending on the customer and/or situation.

Re: Wrong escalation execution time
There's one other thing that can be really vexing when dealing with this problem. Let's decide you go multi-threaded. You put your escalation that needs to run every minute on a new pool (thread) of #4. You set some of the others to 1, 2, and 3. But...if you leave ANY of the escalations undeclared for which pool they should use, they still CAN use #4, and mess up your escalation. I've seen that happen quite a few times. So basically - if you are going to define a pool for one escalation - you might as well do it for ALL of the escalations.

Re: API:Only Data field names and Ids
Sweety, As I don't use the .NET, I can't give direct help, but in the Java version, there in a way to specify which attributes of a field you want to pull back, with the default being 'all'...if all you are looking for is those 3 attributes, but you are pulling back ALL attributes of all fields, needless to say, you are pulling back WAY more data than you want, so if you can figure out how to limit the attributes returned to the 3 you are looking for, it'll greatly increase your performance. Now, relating to the 'label', this is also a field attribute, but is part of an attribute map, because there is 1 label for each view of the form, based on the ID's of the views, so, you will need to do a 'for' within your current for loop to pull out each of the labels, and likely store those in an array, hash, etc, but the information should be available in what you are already pulling back.

Re: Wrong escalation execution time
I thought undeclared escalations went into pool 1 by default as well. That being said I would agree that if you are going to the trouble to create separate pools it would be worth the effort IMO to analyze all your escalations and parse them out into separate pools based on scheduled execution time and expected run time to prevent bottlenecks.

Re: Wrong escalation execution time
I think there was a bug that was fixed, but I can’t remember which patch Of course the documentation doesn’t really cover this (It mentions Escalations assigned to a pool with no thread, but not Escalations not assigned to any pool when multiple pools are defined) Escalations can be assigned to pools so the escalations from each pool run in parallel on separate threads within the escalation queue. To use escalation pools, you must first configure multiple threads for the escalation queue as described in AR System server queues. If you assign an escalation to a pool that has no thread configured, the escalation is run by the first thread.

Why don't people realize that if they looked at the email it has the requirements to unsubscribe in it? I never understand that. I take that as someone thinking they are more important than someone else. I mean it isn't like people are just harvesting email addresses and adding them to the list.

Run Process fails without error message
Got a head-scratcher here: Env: ARS 8.1.1, custom (e.g. SIMPLE) application on Win 2008 server. A filter executes a RUN PROCESS that issues an OS command that writes a PDF file. Everything was working fine for weeks, but this AM it failed. Filter logs show the command, but no results. To debug, the OS command was changed to ‘COPY file1 to file2’ This failed as well, again, without a log entry. We rebooted the server, without making any other changes, and now it is working. We replaced the COPY command with the original command, and it, too, is working. ALSO, this same server will sometimes fail to run ARPLUGINs (logging in shows an error), and a reboot fixes it, too. Has anyone else seen this strange behavior? My only workaround is to reboot every night.

If it is a VM WIN 2008 server it sounds normal (yes, my bias against VMs is showing again). Others can comment about it being WIN and that LINUX or other UNIX survives processes better.

Re: Run Process fails without error message
As much as I would like to jump on Dan's band wagon...I can't. I have countless Windows VM's running for MANY years with countless run-processes executing constantly with no issues as you have described. This is going to take quite a bit of troubleshooting to figure out what's going on So...you say a reboot, are you talking about an OS level reboot, or an application level reboot (restart the windows service). What happens if you just do an app restart, instead of an OS reboot This is an important difference, and it says a lot about what might be wrong On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 3:47 PM, arslist arsl...@danielbloom.ca wrote: ** If it is a VM WIN 2008 server it sounds normal (yes, my bias against VMs is showing again).

Re: Run Process fails without error message
Believe it or not, most of the problems I have had running Remedy in a VM are directly related to the Host not allocating sufficient resources, or having too many VM's and not enough resources to go around. I have also had a weird 'random reboot' scenario where all VM's on a host are rebooted when the host is running AMD processorsthis is apparently confirmed by VMWare as a processor problem, and the 'ball' is in AMD's court to get it fixedbeyond those issues, I haven't had problems running Remedy app servers in a VM...in fact...believe it or not, my current Production DB is a VM as well :) On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 8:24 PM, arslist arsl...@danielbloom.ca wrote: ** I am glad you said no issues as he has described about the VMs. I would not believe you if you said without issues.
