Re: Identify an incident that originated from SRM

2008-11-07 Thread Savant, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the upper right-hand corner of the Incident, you should see a 'View Service 
Request' link on those entries that came from an SR.  Of course if you've set 
the system parameter that generates SR's for Incident submission, they'll all 
have this but if you haven't, it should work for you.

Re: mid-tier "Service Unavailable"

2008-11-05 Thread Savant, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We used these steps when we encountered the same problem on 7.1 patch 3:

1.  Make sure you can browse localhost; if you can't, check:
a.   the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to make sure it 
has an entry with the server's IP/localhost
b.  under IIS Admin/web site/ISAPI Filters, make sure Jakarta 
redirector is up
c.  if it becomes necessary to test the status of IIS, you can 
enable port 8080 and use Tomcat to check localhost (this effectively bypasses 
IIS); edit the server.xml file under D:\Program Files\Apache Software 
Foundation\Tomcat-5.5.17\conf as follows and then restart Tomcat:

I did a simple install on a windows2003 server of

7.1 patch 5 and Tomcat (IIS as the web server).



When I try to get to the config.sys page I get "Service Unavailable".



This looks like it could be permissions, but where?



Any other causes (I have tried searching ARSlist and following old

Advice from 6.3, BMC knowledge base etc.). ?

Re: problems w/jakarta for mid tier on 64-bit W2003 Enterprise

2008-10-21 Thread Savant, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Matt:

Thanks for the assistance, it is much appreciated.  I followed the steps you 
outlined but although Jakarta was loaded with the p005 'upgrade', it still 
didn't appear as an ISAPI Filter for the web site.  In the past, we've added it 
manually but another ARSLister had previously pointed a step from the 
installation guide that does this for you:

4.  From the command window, run the following command:
cscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\iisext.vbs /AddFile "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi 
Redirector\bin\isapi_redirect.dll" 1 jakarta 1 jakarta
This step adds and enables the Jakarta Isapi Redirector web service extension.

Unfortunately, we get an odd error from running this command: "Error while 
configuring application or extension.  You were not connected because a 
duplicate name exists on the network.  Go to System in Control Panel to change 
the computer name and try again.".  I'm running it down with our server folks 
because it makes no sense.

Thanks. - Don

Donald,



It sounds like you're on the right path with this.  You do need to set IIS
to run as 32-bit and get the asp.net updated.  However, you should be
loading a newer version of MT, IMHO.  Try this: go to Add/Remove Programs
and uninstall both Tomcat and the Jakarta ISAPI Redirector (not Mid-Tier).
Go to Windows Explorer and delete the d:\program files\apache. folder and
sub-folders.  Now, run the ARS 7.1 patch005 MT Installer.  Choose IIS and
Tomcat, and 'reinstall' your MT.  It should reinstall both the Jakarta and
Tomcat for you.  You'll get Tomcat 5.5.25, which is now bundled with
patch004 and patch005.



I've used the above method several times on Windows 2003 x64 with success,
but it would not work if the IIS had not been changed to 32-bit and
restarted first.



Good luck!



Matt Reinfeldt

So far, we've been unable to bring the Mid Tier up using Jakarta on our new
64-bit W2003 Enterprise server.  We've been working with Support for a week
now, they're pointing to Jakarta as the problem.  Here's what we've tried so
far:



- successfully loaded ARS 7.1 p002 on MS Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Edition, 64-bit to D:/Program Files, received no errors.



- ran the command that enables 32-bit mode:  cscript
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET
W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1



- found the ARSList post re: D:/Program Files vs. D:/Program Files (x86) but
according to Support, the Mid Tier is registered as a 32-bit application so
Windows knows how to deal with it.



- ran the command that installs the 32-bit version of asp.net to clear the
ISAPI filter error:
%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i



- downloaded fresh copies of Tomcat and Jakarta directly overriding those
provided during the Remedy install.  Tried both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
of Jakarta.



- Mid Tier simply won't come up under IIS using Jakarta Redirector.  We
turned on logging, the debug log shows: jk_isapi_plugin.c (1417): [/arsys]
is not a servlet url.



- Able to use Mid Tier under Tomcat without issue, but we must use IIS.



- Loaded ServletExec, Mid Tier works under this as well so it may an option,
albeit an expensive one.



If anyone has run into a similar problem, any insights would be most
appreciated.  Thanks. - Don

One other item worth mentioning: Support is adamant that they will not 
officially support the database copy method.  You can do it and they will still 
provide support, but if the underlying root cause of the problem turns out to 
be a direct result of the database copy, they will NOT provide a fix.  They did 
say that they would ask Engineering what it would take to make it officially 
supported, but nothing has come of it yet.

  What I had done was entered a few Navigation categories and before adding
SRD's felt the need to modify some of the Navigational Categories..



  After modifying them, where the first tier was changed, it dupliacted two
sets of the first tier, one containing all the older subcategories, and the
other containing the newly entered subcategories..



  Where is this list of Service Categories being read from? I know the
navigational categories is where you configure them, but obviously its not

If the environment is a mix and match, it is possible to import the
Navigational Categories, Work Order Templates and Task templates but not the
SRD's, PDTS and AOTs. (Ref: Page 324 of SRM 2.2 Admin Guide)

In our case, it was ITSP 3 Request Management to ITSM SRM 2.2. We had to
manually create AOT's and associate the Work Order Template to the AOT, then
create PDT and SRD.

There have been problems getting good answers from the SRM support
team, but if you persist you'll get some help.

You can auto-assign an SR to a group, but as far as I can tell, it's the
Org group instead of the Support group. See the Service Request tab in the
Service Request Definition form.

>From there, the SR should round-robin (for example) auto-assign to a
individual. This doesn't work in our system because I forgot to apply
Patch 001 when I installed SRM. It's a listed bug, where the assignee
field doesn't get filled. I'll apply the patch and report back.

Ramy, you should be aware that the change doesn't really "fix" anything, it 
only turns the message off.  If the message needs to display in the future, it 
won't be able to.  Support wanted us to do the same thing but we said they

Re: ARWARN [66] the query matched more than the maximum number of entries specified for retrieval

2008-08-11 Thread Savant, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I believe this is a known bug.  Support pointed us to SW00298917 "Push Field in 
Filter generates ARWARN [66] if option "Modify First Matching Request" is 
chosen", details are below.  They told us it would be fixed in 7.5 but we 
pushed for a patch/hotfix to 7.1 since it's still a supported version.  The 
defect shows Status = Closed and we were told it's underway, but as for when 
we'll see it...

1. DROP/BUILD BUG OCCURS IN (IF PRE-RELEASE)
ARS - 7.1.0 p3
User and Admin - 7.1.0 p3

2. STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Create Filter that does a Push Fields to another form.
- Have the "If Any Requests Match" option set to "Modify First Matching Request"
- Trigger the filter.

3. ACTUAL RESULTS:
 A Warning will appear in the User Tool. The record still gets modified, but 
the message shouldn't appear.

ARWARN [66] The query matched more than the maximum number of entries specified 
for retrieval

4. EXPECTED RESULTS:
No warning message should appear. The issue doesn't appear to occur with an 
Active Link.

Runmacro for export in an escalation

2008-07-15 Thread Suster, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm attempting to use the runmacro command from an escalation to do an export.  
I've followed the Integrating with Plug-ins and Third-Party Products guide as 
best I can.  The command simply doesn't work in the escalation.  When I run it 
from a command window in Windows I get the following error:  
DTS:CMDB-SDS:Transactions is not a regular form and is not processed.  The 
listed form is a regular form, however.  The command as written:

runmacro -o 
"D:\Remedy\SDS_File_Exchange\SDS_nightly_batch_data\cmdb2sdsnew.csv" -d 
"D:\Remedy\SDS_File_Exchange\Macros" -x ms-res-devrm -e "expxcmdb.arq" -U 
 -P  -s "DTS:CMDB-SDS:Transactions" -t csv


Any input is appreciated.  Thank you.

system properties, advanced, environment variables area and NOT
someplace

AR System 7.0.1 Patch 7???

2008-05-02 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I searched the archives and didn't find any information or posts about Patch 7 
for 7.0.1.  

I'm looking for any feedback on possible problems from anyone who has installed 
patch 7.  Primarily  looking  for  feedback on Windows 2003/MS SQL 2000 & 
Mid-Tier, but any platform feed back would be helpful.

"Pierson, Shawn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Davin,

You gave me some ideas, although I still haven't resolved the issue.

Currently, we are authenticating against AD for the username and
passwords.  We have multiple ways people can log into the system, and we
want the User Tool to allow people to authenticate with their domain
password, while the Mid Tier will automatically log in based on their
domain credentials with SSO.

Also, by not using the "Cross-reference blank password" option, I get
ARERROR 623 and the AuthString value still gets passed.  When I have it
enabled, I get the 8908 message and the authstring is passed.

I might take some of the other suggestions in that other people have
given as far as seeing examples of other JSP pages that do
authentication.  I'm not sure if I'm having this much difficulty because
of something in my environment or if I am too dense at the moment.  It's
probably a combination of the two, so thanks for your help.  If you have
any other ideas I'll be glad to try to them out.

Thanks,

Subject: Re: IIS remoteuser for Single-Sign On

Jiri, is another term for the token an NTLM hash? Just curious.

Shawn, unless I have this wrong, in the context of Remedy
authentication, I belive what you are getting from your SSO in the
AuthString parameter would correspond to the 4th field on the OOB login
screen ("Authentication"). Typically this is unused, except in cases
where it might be needed to specify a domain or other information when
configuring AREA LDAP login. In the AREA LDAP Configuration form, the
contents of AuthString can be passed into the LDAP search base using the
syntax $\AUTHSTRING$, for example. I don't know why you have data there,
but you can probably ignore it.

In your case, how is authentication supposed to be handled on the
server? In the context of Midtier using IWA, normally you would not then
go to the AD/LDAP server, because a valid IWA login is implicity
trusted, so instead you would simply connect the user using a server
side AREA plugin.

When you ran plugin logging did you see the failed authentication
attempt there? Does that shed any light?

Hope that helps,
Davin

HELP: Reports not Running

2008-05-01 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
AR 7.0.1 Patch 2
Mid-Tier Patch 5
Win Srv 2003
MSSQL 2000
Crystal Enterprise 10

Our reports from the Reports Form stopped running this morning, they were 
running fine yesterday.  We are hoping someone may have experienced this before 
and knows of a fix.  These are ARSystem Reports and Crystal Reports.

On the Client there are no errors being generated or displayed.  When the 
report is run the cursor goes to an hourglass for a second or two and returns 
to normal with nothing else happening.  The client continues to function as 
normal.

On the Mid-Tier the report generates an ARERR 9246;
"Error during processing: ARERR [9246] Cannot find report
[Ljava.lang.String;@83d8be of type null for form {2} on server {3}.
Please see your administrator"

All AR System functions appear to be normal, the only thing affected is 
reporting.  There are no errors being reported in the AR logs, System logs or 
the SQL logs.  Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Re: BMC Support RFE Document

2008-04-22 Thread Savant, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Although rumors of said document persist, we have not yet been told to use it 
(our last submission was 4/15).

But if it's unavoidable, why not at least provide an automated form to collect 
the information?  And perhaps a 'voting' mechanism so that others could 
champion their favorites?

Personally, I think they could do a better job of translating customer 
requirements into an actual RFE; shifting the burden to us will undoubtedly 
lead to fewer, albeit more significant, submissions but with varying degrees of 
thoroughness.  Perhaps they're being bombarded and simply want to sift out 
those truly interested in improving the product.  Either, it's more work for us.

I don't really want to start a flame war about BMC Support, but I have a
question about RFEs.

I recently submitted an Issue to BMC to request an enhancement to Change
Management.  It's a pretty straight forward request (I asked for the
Work Info to be able to be updated on Closed Change Requests) and
thought it would follow the process all other RFEs had in the past,
where the Support person opens the request with engineering for me.
Unfortunately, I was given a *FOUR PAGE* document and told to fill it
out before they would be able to look at my request.

So my question is this:  How many of you have had to fill out that four
page document for an RFE?

Keep in mind that the template is four pages, and the actual end result
could be much larger.  There is a section on the Word document titled
"Story" where you are supposed to write a story about the change you
would like to see.  If it is indeed standard now to write a story to
submit an RFE, I need to choose between "Goldilocks and the three CAB
approvers" or something more modern like "The DougMueller Code".

Questions: ETL options for Remedy?

2008-04-08 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My reporting team is looking to create a small reporting warehouse
with data pulled from Remedy production.  We're using ARS 7.01 patch 5
on MS SQL Server 2005.

We've spent quite a bit of time looking at our options and I wanted to
pose a few questions to those of you on the list who are using ETL
tools with Remedy.  The questions are around unlimited-text fields and
date translation.

A little background: Our first choice was to use MS SQL Integration
Services, utilizing the AR ODBC driver to avoid T-table translation.
Problem is, those jobs hang on unlimited-text fields (Description,
Worklog, Audit Message, etc.).  The problem definitely seems to be
SSIS and Remedy ODBC, since the same queries work in Access and
Crystal.  After going up the support chain we were reminded that SSIS
was unsupported, while Access and Crystal were.  So we've run into a
dead end here.

So our remaining options seem to be:

A) AR ODBC for the small fields and straight SQL for large fields (no-
go)

B) Use straight SQL against t-tables for everything (would like to
avoid if possible)

C) Use Access or some other AR ODBC-compatible tool as an intermediate
step to populate the data. (ugh)

So my questions would be:

1: Is anyone else selecting unlimited-text fields such as Worklog
using the AR ODBC driver?  Have you run into any problems with rows
that have large amounts of text?  Have you found a workaround?

2: If you use straight SQL to pull Remedy data, how do you handle the
translation of date/time fields?  (The nice thing about AR ODBC is it
handles Daylight Savings Time conversions for us.)  This is
particularly a problem with the Worklog field which has dates embedded
in the text.

3: Are there any other simple and cost-effective ETL tools you
recommend for Remedy?

Any comments are greatly appreciated!

2008-03-18 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yes, this refers to SQL Server 2005 Integration Services.  We're using
ARS 7.01 patch 5.

We created several SSIS packages to populate a data warehouse with
several Remedy tables (HPD:Helpdesk, CHG:Task, SHR:Audit, etc.) on a
nightly basis. These are very simple jobs with no transformations
involved.  We're using DataReader Source and connecting through the
Remedy ODBC driver to get the data, then saving it to a SQL table on
our reporting server.

For the most part these have worked fine, but we've run into a problem
with text fields such as Description, Worklog and Audit Message.  When
there is too much texts in any of these fields (several paragraphs,
not sure of the exact size), the SSIS job simply hangs when selecting
the data.  The step
will turn yellow and the status bar reads "[DTS.Pipeline] Information:
Execute phase is beginning."  But it stays that way until I stop the
job.  We can select these fields if they contain a small amount of
text.  But the job chokes when we add a few K of text to those same
fields.  The text fields are being transferred as DT_TEXT or DT_NTEXT.

In terms of the troubleshooting we've done:

  - The same SELECT statement works fine on the same machine when
using MS Access or Crystal Reports, with both apps using the Remedy
ODBC driver and same user credentials as the SSIS package.

  - We've verified that the "DataReader Source" connection works fine
when selecting large text fields from other databases.

  - We've turned off validation (though the package validates fine)
and increased the buffer size in SSIS, with no luck.  Logging is no
help either.

  - We've verified we can SELECT the same text fields by querying the
T tables directly and not using Remedy's ODBC driver.

  - We're created the package from scratch on another machine with no
luck.

At this rate we're sort of dead in the water.  Any insights or
recommendations would be much appreciated...

SSIS and Large Fields, importing large fields issues

2008-03-17 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We're seeing issues when moving (copying) data to our data warehouse
when it comes upon a work log field where there is a LOT of data it
hangs, the job never completes.  We can cancel it and it doesn't
error, it just waits.

Anyone seeing this issue with SSIS and custom (Remedy) ODBC drivers.
I found this thread that validates that this isn't just our problem.
Unfortunately, there is no resolution in the thread or elsewhere that
I could find.

http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1497581&SiteID=17

Do you have a support contract and contact for Remedy that we could
open a ticket with regarding this issue?  I would believe that they
may have seen this with other customers and may even have an updated
driver that works around SSIS's limitations.

I'll make an inquiry with Microsoft with regards to this issue and see
if there is a workaround within SSIS or a hotfix in the works.

If those two paths are dead-ends then there are alternatives outside
of SSIS that we could explore using.

Re: Forcing Different Form Views

2008-03-10 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Andy,
I have created an AL for each group which needs a different view and then 
assigned group permissions to the group which needs that particular view.  
Since execution is limited to the group which the AL is assigned this clearly 
defines which form view is opened by which group.  The only exclusion I account 
for is in the run if statement to ensure that the proper view was opened for 
the administrator group.

HTHs,

Re: IM installation error - Urgent help Please!

We had a similar problem loading SRM 2.1 and support said it was a bug.
The workaround was to modify the corresponding entry in
SHARE:Application_Properties, that's what the installer checks.  But I
would be very cautious given that the versioning is quite specific.

We're in the process of acquiring/building SRM 2.1 and so far, it's been
working pretty much as expected.  A few bugs here and there and some
questions about functional design.  Also, it's a bit cumbersome to
configure but that's because there's a lot of flexibility in the tool
that you may or may not need.  Overall, we're satisfied (ask me again

We have it set up but have numerous issues.  It is an upgrade from SRM
2.0.

First, it seems the email confirmation to end user on the SRM:Request
form doesn't send out.
Second, out of the box question/answer values don't push to the work
order level.
Third, the Work Order audit log shows the wrong column as modified by
(Always showing the submitter of the original request no matter who
changes it) <- this I fixed by changing the column to the proper field
but BMC says it is working as designed..

Those are the quick ones that I've found in our environment.
Plus all the custom forms we created in 2.0 doesn't work in 2.1 as it
says Application is not licensed.
It actually didn't work when we exported the def file and imported
into prod.  Yes we have a valid license.  We had to recreate all the
custom forms again.

Anyone else having issues with SRM 2.1?

Activating an AR System to Vendor Data Exchange (EIE Again) via Workflow

2008-01-10 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ARS 7.0.1 patch 6
Remedy Link for SQL Server 7.0.1 patch 5 (EIE service on another Win
2K3 box)
Windows 2003 SP2
SQL Server 2000 SP4 (separate hardware)

So in reading the EIE admin guide, it tells me that I can trigger an
AR System to Vendor data exchange by creating a new record in the
Application Pending form. Very cool, this is what I've been looking
for now that I've been able to upgrade Remedy Link for SQL Server to
7.0.1.

The guide tells me to create a record in the Application pending form
like this (quoting):

"In the Other Short field, type the key or the AR System request ID
for the record that you want to include in the data exchange, or
invoke all records configured for a data exchange using one or more of
the parameters inTable 6-1."

So to test this, I created a new record in the Application Pending
form with "-r 0213688|0213232" in the Other Short
field (quotes added for readability).  I waited patiently for the
request to get picked up, and in watching the data exchange's debug
log, a bulk exchange was triggered instead of the single record I
thought I specified. So I stopped the EIE service and deleted this AP
record.

So to see what else might be needed, I used eiexfer.exe to create an
Application Pending record for the same request ID for the same data
exchange. The AP record that was created had a few more fields filled
out.

Category = EIE
Command = the name of the data exchange
Form = the instance name of the EIE service
Source ID = New
Tag = On Scheduled Interval
Other Short = same as above

When this request was picked up, it also activated a bulk data
exchange, so I stopped EIE and deleted this AP record.

Next (and this is all I've done so far), I manually created an AP
record with all of the data immediately above, but I added "-s
" (again, quotes for readability) to the Other Short
field, since the EIE admin guide specified that the -s option is
required for single records.  This AP record also triggered a bulk
exchange.

I have submitted a ticket with BMC, but I usually get better answers
here anyway.

Thanks, everyone.

Mike

Remedy Link for SQL Server (EIE) Function Syntax

2008-01-10 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Quick question since the EIE admin guide isn't any help.

What's the syntax for using EIE functions in data mappings? I have the
Last Modified By field on SHARE:Contact mapped to a field in my
external vendor database and the column in my vendor database is
limited to 20 characters, so I want to use the LEFT() function to
truncate the value coming from Remedy.

I inserted the left function using the rules dialog on the
EIE:DataMapping form, which resulted in a mapping of

function|left(Last Modified By, 20)

However, EIE doesn't like this. Here's from the data exchange debug
log:

Yes, it is true that you need a CR Server for reporting on the web but
the
CI Viewer is not a Crystal Report.  Yes, we have changed the 'Default

I don't have information to the contrary...mostly because I don't use

One

The only step I can recommend would be to see if you can figure out
where
the HTTP references are. One way to do that might be to connect to your
mid-tier using a browser over HTTPS then go to a form that uses the CI
Viewer. When you get the error try to view the source of the page and
search
for HTTP:// 

 

Once you find those it may lead in the direction of the badly behaving

Generating ticket request number after push fields.

2007-12-10 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello All,

I built a custom form and when a user hits save on the form, I have a
filter that fires with a push fields action to send all the data from
the custom form into the Change Form.

Now they "higher ups", want a way to get the Change ticket number into
the custom form.  They also want any changes made in the Change form
to push back to the matching custom ticket number.

Is this something just as simple as another push fields filter? How
would I match the request ID's together since I'm not even sure what
the change number is because it doesn't give a pop up window with the
change ticket number after saving the custom ticket?

Appreciate any  help you can give me.

Re: How can I display User parameters on Crystal Report

2007-12-10 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bruce,
  We currently have a couple of reports that we do this with.  The general 
principal is to collect the users report parameters and then push those 
parameters into a temp field on the record(s) which will be displayed in the 
report.  After the report is executed we do another push field back to the form 
to delete the report parameters from the temp fields.
   
  
  For what it's worth, we have always had to rework reports after an upgrade or 
migration to get the to work.  There have been several reports which we have 
had to abandon because they worked once and we could never get them to work 
again.  BMC/Remedy Tech. Support always points the finger to our server 
configuration, but will never provide a solid configuation which will work.  
The cavet to all of this is that we run 98% of our applications on the Mid Tier 
with 30+ Crystal Reports available for users.
   
  Crystal Reports integration into ARS is absolutely one of the worst areas of 
integration for ARS.  One would think that after YEARS of customers and 
developers complaining about the integration process and problems that 
BMC/Remedy would actually try to resolve the issue.  I have no love for Crystal 
Reports, but I have seen implementations of Crystal Reports in applications 
that are far better than what BMC had done with ARS.  Even Microsoft has had 
decent reporting in Access for over a decade now.  One would think that during 
this time BMC/Remedy would be able to provide an integrated report tool that 
was actually usable.

  Having fought the gritty never-ending battle to produce Crystal Reports that

starting to wonder if I would be better off using SQL Server Reporting Services

  Realizing I can’t [currently] just pass parameters to a Crystal Report and

  Does anyone have any success stories they’d like to share using Reporting

Excute Active Link in Microsoft Automation program

2007-11-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi All


Here is my scenario:

One display only form, it is a control panel face to normal user. And
many active link will active after user input values in this form.
One of them is, user input a "last name", press "enter", the other
field including "last name", "first name", will be got from other
information normal form.

I'm trying build a VB program using ARUSER.tlb to do this.
I do not know how to excute active link in this program. And I only
find there is method OpenGuide but NO excuteActiveLink. So, I build
one guide just fire one active link with code as below,
{
   Set ARForm = App.OpenForm(SessionId, strServer,
"Employee_ControlPanel", ARSubmit, True)
   Set LastName = ARForm.GetField("Last Name")
   LastName.Value = Text1.Text
   ARForm.GiveFieldFocus ("Last Name")
   Call App.OpenGuide(SessionId, "test", strServer)
   ARForm.Submit
}
The problem is "Call App.OpenGuide(SessionId, "test", strServer)"
sentence will open new form, the "last name" value will be
blank


Any body could help me? Or tell me another way to archive this
automation task.

Please help

Re: New installation of Mid-Tier displays only blank page

2007-11-19 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Probably not the fix for you as you mention just a blank screen, but may be
worth checking...


*Symptom: "Page not found" errors on Mid Tier 7.x installation with MS IIS
and Tomcat*
You might have a problem after you install BMC Remedy Mid Tier 7.0.01 using
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) with the Tomcat application
server. You may discover that when you attempt to open a form or
configuration tool page that "page not found" errors appear in your browser.


Solution

Make sure that the Tomcat filter is properly added.

If the filter is not added properly or if you reinstalled Tomcat, add the
filter manually as follows:

   1. Open IIS Manager.
   2. Select your web site under Web Sites.
   3. On the Action menu, click Properties.
   4. In the properties dialog box, click the ISAPI Filters tab, then
   click Add to open the Add/Edit Filter Properties dialog box.
   5. In the Filter name box, type jakarta.
   6. In the Executable box, type C:\Program Files\Apache Software
   Foundation\Jakarta Isapi Redirector\bin\isapi_redirect.dll or browse
   to the file.
   7. Click OK to close the Add/Edit Filter Properties dialog box, and
   click OK again to close the web site properties dialog box.
   8. Stop and restart the web server.

Re: How AR System ODBC Data Source Driver is reset when the status report option in Helpdesk application is used

2007-11-09 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you are using a Preference Server, the "AR System User Preference" form 
"Advanced" tab has an "ODBC Use Undersocres" setting.  The system will use the 
setting to control the ODBC if the user is calling the Preference Server.  If 
your not using a Preference Server you may have to set the Use Underscore in 
the report and in your ODBC settings.

the ODBC config.  I never checked if it was resetting the underscores.

 How AR System ODBC Data Source Driver is reset when the status report option 
in Helpdesk application is used 


 
 
 
 
**  
Hello Everyone, 
  
When a user is in the Remedy user Helpdesk application there is a menu item 
named "Shortcut" that allows to print a status history of a case. The user 
receives an error "Error occurred generating report. (ARERR 1658).  One of 
solutions to resolve this error is to change the configuration in the AR System 
ODBC Setup to check "Use underscores" option. The problem is that this 
configuration gets reset when the user clicks on the "Shortcut" menu item to 
print a status history of a case. I am trying to find if Crystal reports is 
recreating the AR System ODBC driver or what is resetting this driver and 
making it loose my last configuration. 
  
Environment - Windows server 2003 - Remedy Ar System 6.3 - Helpdesk 5.6 -

Thank you.

Notification Group in ITSM 7?

2007-11-08 Thread Monroe, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm just starting to learn ITSM version 7 but am currently using version
5. In version 5 you could create a general notification group.  The
Contracts forms then had a notification group field that we used to
notify these groups when a contract was expiring.  In version 7 did they
do away with notification groups?  If so, does anyone know the reasoning
behind this decision?  How are you supposed to create a group just for
notification purposes in version 7(i.e. the group can only be used for
contract notifications and not for Help Desk Requests or Change
Requests)?   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Like Bing Crosby, 
I'm dreaming, but not of a White Christmas.  I'm dreaming of a single set 
of forms and workflow that I would use to control all of my notifications.  
Originally, my co-worker and I envisioned a single system for ALL 
notifications, 
regardless of the form.  Realizing that was quite the undertaking, we're 
limiting it to one form right now: HPD:HelpDesk.

 

The idea is "Send 
xxx notification to y based on criteria a, b, and c (and possibly d 
through z)."  I can see a few different ways of doing this - has anyone 
already done it?

 

Thanks,

Re: Using regular forms for data storage ONLY?

2007-11-08 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We did this on a some custom applications and converted them back to standard 
forms.   It is much easier and cleaner to deal directly with the regular forms 
when creating, modifying and searching for records.  If you use Mid Tier, the 
regular forms allow you to take advantage of the Mid Tier functionality for 
menus and search results.

The primary issues with this are, as you pointed out, more coding of workflow 
and an increase in coding for simple field additions or removal.  If you go 
this route you need extremely good documentation on your workflow since 
adding/removing a field will affect all workflow which does validation, 
creation, or modification of data.  Depending upon the size of the application 
this can be fairly simple or very complex.  

For data validation you will still want to use filters and possibly and 
escalation or two.  Since filters and escalations have to run against regular 
forms you will not be able to use your regular forms for JUST data storage.

Over all I would recommend using the regular forms as much as possible and only 
using dialog forms where absolutely needed.  Each type of form in ARS has a 
purpose and the system has been optimized to utilize each type in a specific 
way.  Yes, you can use the forms in different ways, but you gain development 
and maintenance overhead when trying to force them into new roles.

Re: Printing incidents from the web

2007-11-08 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The problem is that there is almost no advanced layout features on the internal 
Remedy report functionality.  The internal reports are pretty limited in layout 
and generating a report with any aesthetic qualities.  If you want a report for 
customer consumption with any type of organized layout you have to use Crystal. 
 

Remedy's reporting focus has always been on the client web reporting has always 
been a struggle.  I agree that you should not have these variances between the 
Client and Mid Tier, but unfortunately if you want nicely formatted web reports 
you have to buy Business Objects web software.  

There are other companies which have report tools which will work with Remedy.  
However, you are still in the same boat with having to buy it and getting all 
the software to play nicely together.  Of course Remedy's standby line is, if 
you want reports to work we highly recommend Business Objects Crystal Reports.

I know this isn't helpful, but it may give you some idea of the issues involved 
with web reporting.  Based on the focus of Mid Tier development hopefully there 
will be better options coming in the future.  I know that there have been 
several Software Issue tickets which deal with Mid Tier reporting that have 
been on hold since version 6.3.  We can only hope that these issues were placed 
on hold because they were developing new reporting functionality for the web, 
and not because they felt that web reporting wasn't as important as client 
reporting.

Melissa,
Yes, when running Mid Tier you need to have a Crystal Web or Crystal Enterprise 
running, either on the Mid Tier server or on a seperate server.  There are 
various configuration settings in the AR Config utility for Mid Tier which tell 
it how to access Crystal to service the report.  ARS 7 is compatable with the 
new Crystal Web software and is probably the direction I would recommend 
investigating.  We currently run Crystal Enterpise 10, and while we get most of 
what we need from it we have had issues with it.

We are running ITSM 7 and ARS 7.0.1.

It appears that crystal reports (or some other web reporting tool) is
required when printing an incident from the web.  When you click the
print button from the user tool, a Crystal report comes up.  When you
click the same button from the web, an error "Error during processing:
ARERR [9260] Repor tlocation is missing from report settings
configuration page.  Please see your administrator."

Anyone know how to get around this?  We do not have a report tool

Dwayne,
I'm not saying that this is your error but we currently have an open support 
issue with a software defect number SW00280014 directly related to generating a 
Crystal Report on the Mid Tier from an AL which seems similar to your issue.  
According Remedy Tech. this issue has been around since 6.3 and is still 
present in 7.0.1.  Here is the detail information on our issue.  It may be 
worth it to check with support and see if your issue could be related to this 
defect. If it is related then it would certainly help get the defect resolution 
elevated.

ARSystem 7.0.1 Patch 4
Mid-Tier 7.0.1 Patch 4
MSSQL 2000
Win Srv 2003 
Crystal Enterprise 10

An ActiveLink which generates a report of type Crystal causes an error when a 
Qualification contains a datetime field compared to the 10/18/2007 10:52:47 AM 
keyword when executed on the Mid-Tier. (example:  'datetimefield' > 10/18/2007 
10:52:47 AM).

The report in question has been verified against the database, executes 
correctly with the activelink when the date comparison is removed from the 
Qualification field, runs from the Remedy Report Selection Console, runs when 
executed directly from a web browser, runs from the report function of the User 
Tool.  ActiveLink logging shows successful activelink processing (i.e. 
activelink log shows no errors).  Data for the date field has been manually 
validated and the field contains valid data for all records.

TR vs DB value for SLA action

2007-11-01 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi All,

I just need to confirm something.  We have a ton of SLA actions firing
on our server.  One of them is not working properly, but I figured out
that it was because there were not enough qualifications in the stop
actions.

Here is the scenerio.   I have a group that wants to stop  the SLA
when the ticket gets reassigned out of their queue.   Do I want to add
'TR.Assigned To Group' != 'Assigned To Group'?

Or do I want to do 'TR.Assigned To Group' != "DB.Assigned To Group"

Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: SLM - Pay to upgrade from SLA - Anybody fight this and win?

2007-10-31 Thread Savant, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Jack:

We were in the same position earlier this year but lost the battle.  As
our sales rep explained it, they discontinued the older product (SLA
6.0) and were no longer going to upgrade or support it.  To appease our
complaining, they offered us the new product (SLM 7.0) at zero cost - we
just had to pay the difference in maintenance for the balance of our
annual contract (i.e. the difference between the unused portion of SLA
maintenance and the pro-rated expense for the new product).  It's my
understanding that this was a "one-time" offer that had to be processed
by June 30, 2007.

Note that none of the above mentions functionality or features, it was
simply a product direction decision.  If I were you, I would question my
sales rep as to why they didn't work with you to take advantage of the
"one-time" offer.  Even though you weren't ready to move to 7.x at that
time, it obviously would have to been to your advantage to process the
SLA to SLM migration before June '07.

I'm sure that you'll find that BMC/Remedy no longer uses BEST practices.  In 
order to be fully ITIL V.3 compliant they now use GOOD practices. Good 
practices doesn't quite make since to me but guess they had to find a name for 
it.

I do have to admit that after I raised hell at support and my program manager 
raised hell at sales our support has improved.  Not sure if this is just luck 
or if we finally got through to someone.  Probably tagged my person data entry

Benjamin,
 
You are confusing a company that "preaches" best practice with one that 
actually "utilizes" best practice in their own support mechanism. Practice what 
you preach is NOT one of the BMC/Remedy tenants.sadly.
 
Another example is reporting. "Best practice" says that you allow customers to 
be somewhat self sufficient and provide them the ability to do some reporting 
on their tickets/issues. Does BMC allow any type of reporting on outstanding 
support issues. No they do not. They sell a product with 100+ embedded reports 
because, "that's what customers need", but do not implement any type of 
reporting for their internal customers.
 
I'm sure that the members of this list can come up with numerous other examples 
where the practice doesn't measure up to the preaching. Self reporting is just 
one of my pet peeves.

Dear List (David Easter are you listening),
 

 
I’d like to know how many of you out there have a size limit on a field named 
“Details” and/or “Description”?  What is the “best practice” for a size limit 
on the “Details” field?  In my mind, this field should be a 0-length 
(unlimited) field such that a person can input as many characters as it takes 
(within database constraints for a character field) to make a _detailed_ 
description of the problem.  I can understand a limit on a “Summary” or “Brief 
Description” field for reporting purposes.
 
Apparently the folks running the BMC Remedy Support site feel that 254 
characters are sufficient for a _detailed_ description.  Further, if you exceed 
this limit, do you get descriptive feedback as to why you couldn’t save your 
ticket?  NO.  “Unable to setup data connection which is preventing this 
application from working correctly”.  What is that?  
 

 
Sorry to rant here, but after typing up a nice detailed description of a 
problem, I get an error message on trying to save my ticket.  After butchering 
my response, I can finally save the ticket, but it now nowhere near reflects 
what I wanted to say and have to resort to several sequential ticket updates.

Mid-Tier/ServletExec

2007-10-29 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has ever received the below errors when
installing Mid-Tier.  We are on version 6.3 unix/oracle platform and
we are installing the mid-tier on the same server.


I appreciate any help since I cannot find anything close to this on
bmc.com and their customer support is not being very helpful.

Oddly enough, we were installing servlet as root.   When I looked at
our box, I couldn't see the files it was trying to access.  Its not
completing the install at all and we have tried both non-root and root
and getting the same thing.

Thanks for the input.

Saji,
Active Link errors for this type of thing are great as it gives immediate
user feedback and users don't waste their time filling out the form before
a filter informs them that they can't submit a ticket. However, it's always
good practice to back up your active link error with a filter error also.

We use an Active Link that fires on Window Open with the qualification

If you are not a member of the appropriate group (based on the criteria

You could just create a filter for that form.  The "execute on" would be
"Submit" and the run if section would be 'Group' = "xxx" (whatever the
group number is of the deskside support is).  The Action could then be
an Error Message that says "You do not have the permission to create new
tickets" or something like that.  

 

I do this on display forms when people try to click on the "new" button.

Create a filter that executes on Submit and checks for Group membership in
your special group. If this returns true, then return an error that
membership in this group prevents submitting tickets.

Re: Midtier error; ARERR 9215

2007-10-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Troy,
We fought with something along these lines when we upgraded to 7.x.  There is 
an authentication error which is present in the 7.0 software, we upgraded to 
7.0.1 patch 4 which resolved the issue.  However, 7.0.1 P4 has a few issues of 
it's own.  

Things we have found so far, timestamp qualifications for Crystal Reports 
generated in an active link cause a Crystal Reports formula error, and the 
delete button on the alert list is only visible to administrators. Both of 
these issues have confirmed bug reports and will hopefully be resolved with 
Patch 5.

Users are being presented with the login screen, when
they try to login, they see ARERR 9215.  The Mid-tier

Not a lot of reading material out there on this one. 
I know a lot of others have seen this, how did you get

RESOLVED: Help with ARERR 552

2007-10-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
First, Thank you to everyone who responded,  Your thoughts and input helped in 
determining what to do and what not to do.  
Interestingly enough, we did modify our user form which upgraded correctly, 
however we did not modify the group form which did not upgrade correctly.

A.  Since we were dealing with the Group form we did not feel it was safe to 
delete the form and risk not being able to get back into the system.

B.  We could have imported the valid Def from the installation folder and then 
used the arcache command to create a new administrator group, which would have 
enabled us to get into the system and then import our groups.

We chose not to execute either of these options since there was some risk of 
not being able to recover the system, a low risk but still a risk.

The steps we took to correct this issue were as follows:
1. Identified the columns in the database which were being reported as errors. 
(C120, C121, and C179)
2. Verified that the columns were not in the T table and were not applicable to 
the H and C tables.
3. Verified each of the column description entries in the corresponding field_* 
and view_* tables
(In our case all of the related tables contained valid entries for the 
missing fields)
4. Scheduled a system outage with our users.
5. Shut down the AR System service and backed up the database
6. Created the column entries in the T table
7. Identified and corrected default data for these fields and the default AR 
Groups.

8. Called BMC and told them to close the ticket, because we have taken care of 
the problem ourselves.

We had a similar problem with the User form after upgrading to 7.1.
  Support asked if we had customized our User form, which we had.  They
 said to back up the data, download a fresh form definition, and delete and
 re-import the form and data.  That sounded scarey to us.

Instead we looked at the message and queried the db for the fieldname
 of the column in question.  Then we copied and deleted that field, saved
 the form, pasted the field back into the form and saved again.  We
 kept doing that till we no longer got the message.  That seems to have
 fixed the problem.

Apparently you are not supposed to customize the User or Group form,
 but we customized ours six years ago before we knew about the rule.

Re: Help with ARERR 552

2007-10-19 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Unfortunately, all of our 7.0.1 backups have this problem, since it occurred 
during the upgrade process.  Our previous version db backups are two weeks old 
and loosing that much data is not an option, not too mention the amount of post 
upgrade work we have done during the last two weeks to accommodate for 7.0.1 
idiosyncrasies.   

This is one we have to fight  through, I was hoping that there would have been 
someone who has had this happen and knew of a fix.  Seems like BMC/Remedy would 
have some type of DB tool which could validate and correct the DB structure if 
problems were found during the validation,  I guess that would be WAY too much 
to ask for though. I would even be happy if the Admin tool, which is more than 
happy to tell you there is a problem with the form, would perform the 
correction on save or at least give you the option of performing the correction.

Looks like I get to learn more about the Remedy DB structure than I wanted too. 
 I'll have to study up over the weekend and go in Monday to perform brain 
surgery.

Thanks,
Dave

 **  You will loose access to your  system to do anything further if you

 Restoring your last known good  backup of the database is your best and 
fastest option. Any other option would  be very time consuming (attempts to 
build the T table by altering it to include  the missing columns etc..). Not 
impossible but might take even an expert Remedy  developer a lot more than 15 
or 20 minutes that restoring a DB backup would  take..

**DIV { MARGIN:0px;}Yes,we do have a backup of the pre-upgrade 
database (we still have the pre-upgradedatabase server in pristine 
condition).  While restoring the databasewould provide a means to recover 
the data in the Group form, it would notresolve the error with the 7.01 
Group form.  While it would be possibleto recover the Group form data and 
then delete the current Group form andReimport a valid Group form, I'm not 
sure that it is possible to delete theGroup form and maintain an 
operational system.

Like you, we had thisoccur on a test upgrade to 7.0 to the User form.  The 
end result was,because it was a test upgrade, to dump the system and redo 
the upgradeprocess.  However, with 7.0 this happened every time we tried 
theupgrade, thus the wait for 7.0.1 for the upgrade.  During testing with   
 7.0.1 this error did not occur, so we thought we were out of the woods on
it.

Re: Help with ARERR 552

2007-10-19 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sorry I miss read as importing the form instead of importing the database 
table.  

I'm not sure that this would be a solution since the pre-upgrade table is a 
5.1.2 format table and the 7.0.1 table contains a different structure, I'd 
still be missing these fields in the T table.  I'm not sure that the AR 
database would be capable of dealing with this any better than it can deal with 
the fields not being in the T table to start with.  While it may be possible to 
do a fresh installation of a 7.0.1 system and then move the clean T table over 
to to my production system, it is possible that there may be other problems 
with the Group schema.  If I'm having problems with the T table what other 
parts of the schema may be corrupt?  

The production system has been running on 7.0.1 for a couple of weeks now so 
dropping back to the pre-upgrade database is not an option.  Unfortunately, we 
did not need to modify any of our groups until now so the error did not appear 
until after we were beyond our commit point with the new software.

Thanks for the input, anything I get here is better than what I am getting from 
BMC at this point.

Thanks,
Dave

Deleting the Group Form is not advised. If you are not comfortable with the 
option I suggested then you need to import this form. You may try exporting the 
Group Form from any running AR System and then importing the same in the 
current box. Well the database style was what we did once when we came across 
the similar error, not exactly the same but some what similar.


 

Again.. please take a database back, proactively, before continuing with 
any of the steps as advised.

Like you, we had this occur on a test upgrade to 7.0 to the User form.  The end 
result was, because it was a test upgrade, to dump the system and redo the 
upgrade process.  However, with 7.0 this happened every time we tried the 
upgrade, thus the wait for 
7.0.1 for the upgrade.  During testing with 7.0.1 this error did not occur, so 
we thought we were out of the woods on it.

2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to

3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a
few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a

7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move

8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

Re: CTM:People large data imports

2007-10-15 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
William,
Since a GUID is simply a way of generating a unique identifier, then you
should be able to create a GUID yourself. There is no validation of a GUID
to check for a particular format. For instance, if you are stating that
through direct SQL loads you can generate the Request ID (which must be
unique), then you could also use that same Request ID for the GUID (after
all, it is a unique ID and it would be unique across forms).

I think the process you have described raises many more questions that are
not covered here. If we assume you have those items covered and the only
thing holding you back from the direct sql process is the GUID, then there
is certainly a way to get around that issue.

Subject: CTM:People large data imports


On my current project we will have to import about 1,000,000 CTM:People
records every week (give or take).  These will be "new" records every
time because the only unique identifier we have from the external
systems is an identifier like SSN that we can't put into our system
(that's a policy decision).  We're checking on ways to do updates but
it's still messy due to the item below.
 
The actual import is going to be automatic and should follow this
process:
 
1.) Escalation deletes all relevant CTM:People records
2.) File is automatically put on the Remedy server with people
information
3.) Escalation fires a Run Process that imports the data into a staging
form.
4.) Escalation fires and sets a flag field to "Process Now" on all
records in the staging form
5.) Filter on "modify" on the staging form pushes to CTM:People
 
Here's the problem - we're using decent hardware running on Solaris 9,
etc - yet the push to CTM:People takes 1.5 seconds per record due to all
of the validation that takes place.
 
I have to do 1,000,000 records a week - and there are only 604,800
seconds in a weekalso, it appears using direct SQL loads won't work
due to all of the back end set fields (I can get around all of those
except the GUID - which could be set by another escalation.and then
we are back at this same problem).
 
If you've done large data imports to CTM:People I'd really like to know
how you went about loading the data efficiently.

Looking for advice on DSL and 7.x Product Categorizations

2007-10-12 Thread Savant, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Listers:

It would seem that in loading the DSL data, we're forced to use the
associated out-of-the-box Product Categorizations of
'Software/Application/Third Party' and 'Software/Operating System/Third
Party'.  Since Product is not available when configuring Assignment
rules, such broad categorizations make it nearly impossible to single
out support groups for routing without redundantly populating
Operational Categorizations.  We've thought about disabling all DSL
entries, then reactivating and recategorizing only those we need, but
that would seem to be an extremely time consuming task.  We're also
concerned that future DSL data patches would overwrite our updates.
Perhaps populating the DSL ourselves is a better approach?  For those of
you using BMC's DSL data, how do you handle this?

Many thanks!

Dan states that there are in excess of 3000 registered users. We'll round that

Let's say 50% of those registered users are inactive. Now we're at 1500.
Let's say another 50% of those users are as you describedoccasional users 
and never glance at the list until the need arises. Now were down to 750. 
Of those, 50% are in the hospital and have been unable to use a computer in the

Of those 375, surely there are enough dedicated users to get 150 votes.

I think we've failed to recognize that the composition of the arslisters is 
different than it used to be.  Just like bmc is changing the applications to be 
'non-development' OOB applications we may have many listers that do not read 
the list on a regular basis.  They send an email if they have an issue, get the 
answer, and then don't come back until they have another question. 
 
I go through the arslist emails every day.  I find it therapeutic to know 
others have far more issues than I do and more importantly to learn about 
things I may never come across.  I may not remember all of it off hand but I 
know I've seen something about it and can find it later. 
 
Maybe core arslisters have to adjust their expectations of the list.
