Re: Getting errors when creating a View Form

2011-09-12 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Marc,

 

We are using quite a few view forms although none of them are SQL Server
only Oracle based tables with our Remedy also using an Oracle database.
However your dba may be able to help set this up - have you tried
creating a synonym in the remedy schema that points to the table you
want to reference?

 

We have done similar setup for other applications in the reverse
direction with Oracle tables referenced as if they are part of SQL
Server database this approach should work the other way around but may
require some setup/work on the Oracle side for access to SQL Server as
the Oracle methods for this are not as straightforward as the reverse
with SQL Server access to Oracle objects.


Take Care,

Debra

Subject: Getting errors when creating a View Form

 

** ARServer 7.1, patch 1 
Admin Tool,, 7.1 patch 11 
SQL 2008 

We are attempting to create our first View Form, SQL database to a
Oracle database, but we can not create the form. I am pretty sure our
problem is the syntax of the table that I am putting in the field before
I press Load. The Admin Tool appears to be looking for sysobjects,
instead of the Linked Server. The examples in the documentation are
poor. 

Admin Tool error message: 
Failure during SQL operation to the database :
PAEHOWUD351.ASSETCENTER.AC_REMEDY_ASSETLOOKUP_VIEW (ARERR 552). 

SQL log error message:

We are able to query the Linked Server from SQL Studio. I am able to
create a view on the SQL server that looks at the Linked Server and
create the View Form using that view, but when I run a selection from
the View Form, it takes 50+ seconds. 

Can anyone provide the syntax that should be put in as the table we want
to be pointing to? Again, the documentation is not very clear. 

Thank you in advance.

Re: Un-expected Filter/Filter Guide Processing when errors occur....

2011-07-01 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Thanks Thad!

 

Actually I'm not using a specific error handler filter not sure what
that would be.

My next filter checks if the number of rows updated by the Push is 1
(via the LASTCOUNT value) if it is not 1 I do a Message action of type
Error to alert the user.

The filter log shows this error caused the current filter guide to stop
processing steps and all my push changes are not applied to the
database.

However the next filter guide called gets called but only the Set fields
and Run Process action actually does anything the other Push fields
action is not applied.

 

Below is excerpt from the filter log where this happens.

** 

Debra,

 

You say:  If any of the push actions fail a subsequent filter does the
following

 

Are you using an Error Handler filter to process the fail condition?
If so, once your error handler filter handles the error, the system
considers the error handled and processing continues as if there were no
error.  Phasing is also affected.  Check the Workflow Objects guide for
details (I only 7.1 docs handy, so I don't have a page # for your
version).

 

Hope that helps,

Thad

Hi Everyone!



Hoping folks on the list with more experience might be able to explain
unexpected filter processing behavior I am seeing.

We are using 7.0 version

 

Here is an overview of how my workflow is setup

 

1 - Filter 1A fires on Modify on Form_A - Note this filter name is using
thte `! syntax for override filter phasing.

 Actions are in this:

Set fields

Call Guide 2A using server-side table loop

Call Guide 2B

 

Filter 2A - seems to work as expected (based on review of filter log).
It calls several filters that loop thru table entries again using `!
syntax.  Each entry in the table results in a Push field action to two
forms B  C.  If any of the push actions fail a subsequent filter does
the following 

1 - Run Process command to run unix script to add entry to log
server file

   2 -   Message action of type Error is reported to end-user

As expected after this error occurs none of the push field changes are
applied to the database - this is what I want to happen J

 

However after the error occurs the top level filter still calls Guide 2B
(I see this in the filter log after the error is logged) however the
actions in the Guide are not fully executed  but the one a Run Process
action on a unix shell command does execute but after this runs the next
actions which are Set/Push fields are not executed.

 

Any ideas why my 2nd Call Guide action would execute after the first
Guide called produces an error - my expectation was that if the first
Guide produced an error the filter that called the guide would stop
processing all together and the 2nd Guide would not be executed at all.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

Debra

Any experiences using Run Process Application-Release-Pending with Filters/Filter Guides and `!

2011-06-28 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

I am working a new function in our custom app (ARS 7.0) that involves
somewhat complex filter processing - at least for me J

 

Basically when a user updates a record's status to a certain value a
filter is run that calls a Filter Guide which has several filters some
of these also call filter guides that are in most cases doing table loop
processing.  These filters will push new records into a new transaction
form - these records will need to processed at the end of the filter
guide.   My approach was to have the final filters do the following
steps to process the transactions added during the previous filter guide
steps

1)Call Run Process Application-Release-Pending

2)Call a final Filter Guide which would do a table loop on a table
based on the transaction form records just added.

 

Does anyone have any experience using the Application-Release-Pending
command?

Any suggestions for how to use and/or best method to troubleshoot?

 

Also I have named the filters in my guides that are doing the push
fields to the transaction table with a `! prefix to try to ensure the
pushed records are available later in the workflow of the filter guide.
However not sure how the `! would work when it's a filter that is part
of a fairly involved filter guide process.

 

My results are unexpected - I would have expected either no rows to be
processed from the table loop or all rows but instead the loop processed
one row from the table when I added the Run Process
Application-Release-Pending and also processed one row when I removed
the Run Process action.

 

Thanks

Debra

Data validation checks when user uses the Modify All option in the client

2011-06-14 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

We're using ARS 7.0 all custom code system.

 

In the past I have pretty much not allowed user's to use the modify ALL
option however I have a new feature where there is a strong request to
allow this option.

Unfortunately I am having some challenges getting workflow that would do
data validation to work when more than one record is modified.

I believe filters are probably the only option to that is workable
(instead of active links) but even in this case some of my On Modify
filters do not see to catch data validation issues in all cases.  Part
of the workflow involves setting some fields via queries to other forms
to verify existing data.

 

Does anyone have any suggested best practices for handling this type of
process?

 

Thanks

Debra

I agree with Fred filters really are the only option I can see working.

However, has anyone ever seen a case where set fields doesn't seem to work

Do you know if any issue with how fields are set - via SQL query vs. regular 
form query?

Filters are the only way to go to validate data during Modify All.  All Set 
Fields used to pull in data (needed for validation) should also be in the 
Filters.

Issues with Filter processing infinite looping - Please help!

2011-05-23 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

I have been asked to implement a feature that has me stumped and wanted
to see what others might do to implement the following workflow

 

1) Parent form has a status field and can have many child records

2)Child form also has a status field with similar options

 

Part 1 - User wants to have child records' status updated if Parent is
set to a certain status value.  Since there are a couple intermediate
tests to perform on this I implemented it using Filter that calls a
Filter Guide.

 

Part 2 - User wants Parent status updated if all the child records have
been updated to a certain status value - so if the last child record is
updated to status value then the parent should be updated.  Again
implemented via Filter that calls filter guide.  Here is where there are
problems if this workflow fires and updates the parent record the
workflow for part 1 will fire and the loop begins.

 

I tried to use the value of the $GUIDE$ property to prevent the loop but
no success.  

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Strange behavior using $GUIDE$ value in Filter Run If Condition

2011-05-20 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

We are using ARS 7.0.01

 

I am attempting to use the $GUIDE$ key word for the first time in order
to prevent circular looping on some filter guides I am developing.

 

However when I use the test $GUIDE$ = $NULL$ in my filter's run if
condition and there is no Guide involved the test fails when it should
not!!

If I replace the test with $GUIDE$= this seems to work but doesn't
seem like most robust test!

 

Has anyone else experienced this behavior - this seems like a simple
test that should work so not sure what I am missing!

Basic question on Web Services Setup and Submitter field

2011-03-22 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

I am very new to Remedy Web Services doing a Proof-of-Concept for our
department to see if we want to use this feature.

Remedy 7.0.01 

Solaris

 

I have created some sample web-services on a test form and have
successfully been able to create, set and get records using web-services
calls to Remedy.

 

However I have not figured out a good way to prevent the Submitter field
from being included in the wsdl xml for create/set operations.  I don't
want external consumers of the web-service to see this field as it would
be automatically set.  I was able to make the field optional but
whenever I try to delete it from the mapping for the web service it does
not get removed.

 

Any suggestions?

officially supported but was wondering if anyone knows of any workaround
for using this platform.

 

Here are some details I received from the user.  We are using remedy
version 7.0.01.

1.  I'm using Windows  7 Ultimate
7600.16695.amd64fre.win7_gdr.101026-1503.   
2.  Remedy driver was installed per the installation instructions 
3.  On 64 bit Windows, using 64 bit ODBC, can't even configure the
driver or add a datasource using it (it doesn't even show up on the add
datasource list).  Attempting to configure the driver produces error
The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver
and the Application

4.  Using c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe, can configure the driver
and even test it successfully, however, on 32-bit Office, get error
unable to obtain list of tables from the datasource when trying to
access Remedy AR ODBC.  On 64-bit Office, get error The specified DSN
contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and the
Application when trying to access the datasource.



All of my users on 32-bit windows platforms have no issues using the
driver to query remedy data from excel!

 

Thanks

Debra

I recently posted a similar question and was referred to a very useful
KB article which allowed me to get Web Services running successfully.

 

Look for KM-00024940 KB article while the topic says for Solaris I
would expect that much of the steps would apply to AIX as well!

This happens mostly when plugin is not installed properly or ARSystem

Check  ar.cfg file for

ServerName:PortNo

 

Check pluginsvr_config.xml file for plugin 
ARSYS.ARF.WEBSERVICE

 

If its missing in both place, you would like to rerun the installer as

I do all my views on the ARS views exclusively.  These can be quite
complex and include SQL functions, queries, processing of those queries,
unions,  sub views, etc.  

 

I think it's a lot better than basing in on the Txxx ( Cxx) fields.
The simple fact that your source SQL uses terms like T1982 and C91818165
makes it very ugly to maintain.  A view on a view (especially the one
that ARS creates) is NO problem and NO trouble.   If there is any
performance issues with a complex view there are lots of database things
you could do (like instantiated views as a worst case, simple indexes as
needed on the ARS tables through the ARS developer tool).

 

That being said, you could make a complicated view where you derive the
T number from arschema and the C number from arfield etc.  But why
bother?  Again, the SQL source will be more complex and harder to
maintain.

 

The ARS view is one to one with the underlying T table.  There is no
performance penalty for using it and the large benefit of an
understandable SQL source.

Thanks everyone for your input.  

 

The 3 columns were just to show what a view of the view looked like.  I
actually need the view to have about 20 columns.  We are creating a DB
Link so that this data can be imported into a Data Warehouse for heavy
duty reporting capabilities.  We usually don't like our DB links to go
straight to the T tables, so we are creating a view.  The reason why
we are not using the AR SYSTEM created view is because we need to
normalize some of the data and create new fields etc (that I don't
want/need in an actual form).  I guess I could still create a self-join
form, but I think I like creating views better.

 

But I will not be creating a view on top of a view.  Sounds like
trouble

 

If we do a migration (which we are actually going to be doing in the
next couple of months - we are getting a new production server), I'll
just have to copy and recreate the views if the T # for the tables
change correct?

 

Thanks everyone!

** Also with regards to maintainability, if you are migrating code
through various environments to get to production, the T# for that form
isn't guaranteed to be the same.  It most likely is, but it depends on
how tortured your migration process is (or was, before you started
working somewhere *sigh*).  The schema id doesn't come along in a *.def
file.

Have you considered keeping it all in Remedy, and just creating a
self-join form with only those three fields showing?  You'll end up with
an Oracle view anyway if you need it for outside integrations or
whatever, and you don't have to worry about maintaining stuff at the DB
level.

I've found that it's best not to create or alter objects in the ars

Question on using Email Subject Line text with Inbound Email processing

2011-01-25 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

I am doing a POC for use of Remedy Inbound email for external customers
to submit requests and have a question.

We are using:

Remedy 7.0.01

Solaris

Oracle 10g

 

I have successfully setup an MBOX on Solaris and have inbound emails
being successfully parsed and submitting records into a test form.

 

However I would like to be able to take the Subject line value of the
user's email message and pass this value into one of my form fields.

 

I have read over the Email Admin Guide and also searched BMC Remedy KB
but didn't find any tips that would advise me how I might take values
stored in the Email message form and have them passed to the destination
form when a Submit action is parsed and processed.

 

I am a complete newbie for this feature so any pointers are much
appreciated.

 

Thanks

Debra

Setting up web serivces on ARS existing server

2010-12-28 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

We are running ARS 7.0.01 on Solaris with Mid-tier and want to try out

However I believe when our server was installed (a few years back) the
web-services plug-in was not installed.

see any of the expected forms in the system for web services and the
ar.conf file doesn't list any web-service plug-in.

 

2 - The install documentation doesn't give a lot of help on adding a
plug-in to an existing system.   I have to be careful not to mess up our
development server as its used by several teams.  Does anyone have
suggestions on how to install/add this plug-in with minimal risk to the
existing system?

I did check the websvc70.jar file located in my server bin but this file does 
not contain the class that is reported in the error.
Also I don't have any of the settings or files you mention below 
ARF-Java-Class-Path is not in my ar.conf file anywhere and I don't have a file 
called pluginsvr_config.xml anywhere where my ars files are installed - perhaps 
these items are only setup if you install specific plug-ins during the install 
process.

It is probably looking for websvc70.jar (since you are on ARS 7.0) and should 
be defined on a ARF-Java-Class-Path line in the ar.conf.  The file may be 
there, just the line missing in the conf.

If you have the ar_install script look in it for  ARF-Java-Class-Path.  It 
should tell you what needs to be on that line
   i.e.   
  less ar_install   
   /ARF-Java-Class-Path

There is also a pluginsvr/pluginsvr_config.xml file that has a 
ARSYS.ARF.WEBSERVICE section.  Make sure the path in there is correct.

doesn't list any web-service plug-in.

2 - The install documentation doesn't give a lot of help on adding a plug-in to 
an existing system.   I have to be careful not to mess up our development 
server as its used by several teams.  Does anyone have suggestions on how to 
install/add this plug-in with minimal risk to the existing system? 

Thanks
Debra

Re: Upgrade AR server to 7.5P007 from 7.01

2010-11-23 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Andrew,

 

Please let me know how this goes.  We're pretty much in the same spot
running 7.0 with 100% custom app and looking to plan for an upgrade to
7.5 or 7.6.

 

Good Luck!

Subject: Upgrade AR server to 7.5P007 from 7.01

 

** Hi,

 

It seems the upgrading is straightforward, but I want to check with the
list for sure.

We're planning to do the upgrade our server from AR 7.01 to latest AR
7.5 P007 for our Remedy homegrown application. There is no CMDB or ITSM
suites.

 

Is it just a mater of running the installer 7.5 P007 on our server, or
we have to do that in steps, first upgrade server to 7.1,  then 7.5?

 

Thanks,

AF

Is there any way (other than creating a view or permissions) to not only
hide a field via the field properties, but to hide these fields to keep
people from adding them to reports as well.

 

I have hidden temp fields and I don't want the customer to choose these
fields when creating reports (there would be no reason for them to).  

 

I think the answer is that there is no other way, but just wanted to
make sure.

Issues with Spanish Language Characters in ARS

2010-10-18 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

We have recently added an office in Mexico and are having some issues
with Spanish language characters not being displayed/saved correctly in
our Remedy client/DB.

 

Here is overview of system info:

 

Remedy ARS 7.0.01

Oracle 10g

Oracle NLS_CHARACTERSET  is WE8MSWIN1252

Solaris OS

 

I am able to manually insert Spanish characters into tables in the db
and the data is correct.  

When a user types in data in a Remedy form the characters are shown
correctly during entry but once the data is saved the characters become
question marks and are not saved into the database as the correct value.

 

I checked the ARS server settings and I don't think there is anything
there to change for this.

 

My experience with databases suggests changing the database client
environment settings for the ARS server  at startup but wanted to get
confirmation that this would be the proper approach/best practice.  Most
likely the oracle NLS_LANG and etc environment settings would be the
ones I would change!

 

Thanks for your feedback.

Debra

Advanced Query formulas on Date field types vs. Datetime types

2010-08-24 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

We're on Remedy 7.0.

 

A user came to be with a problem that I never really thought about
before and I can't seem to find a good solution.

 

We have some forms that use Date datatype for some fields instead of
Datetime date types.

 

For Datetime data type we have many users that do advanced search
queries like this for example searching for anything 7 days or more in
the future.

 

Mydate = $TIMESTAMP$ + (24*7*60*60) 

 

For Date datatypes this type of syntax does not work no records are
returned.  You can use the constant value $TIMESTAMP$ or $DATE$ but not
do any math with it.

Does anyone have any ideas how this might be accomplished with an
Advanced query?   The other area where this might be needed/used is for
a Table field qualification but I think if the advanced query can work
so can the table qualification.

 

Thanks for any tips you might have!


Debra

** Hi Kevin,
Yes... Company B is a customer and they also use Remedy. So they want to
be able to send us email updates to valid INC's on our side.
The problem is they have a INC on their side for the same issue they
created with us. So their Subject line says INC1234 - Update, etc.
INC1234 on our side is a closed invalid INC totally unrelated to their
company and their issue. My answer was We HAVE to have the correct INC
number for Remedy to correctly find and update the valid INC on our
side.We don't care what THEIR INC number is. As long as they send us
invalid INC numbers, Remedy can't read their minds. If Company B can't
send us the correct INC #, then I am stuck. GIGO - right? :-)

This is a weird one: I work for Company A, Company B  also uses Remedy

The Filter on AR System Email messages sees the INC number from Company

My answer was - Don't do that and mgmt says that is an unacceptable

Has anyone else run across this situation in the past?

Methods to display PopUp window on mutliple user's client screen without using Remedy Alert client

2010-06-28 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi Everyone,

 

We're using Remedy 7.0.

 

I can't think of a way to do this but perhaps some of you Remedy Gurus
may have a solution.

 

My user's want to see a popup message window displayed for all members
of their group when a new record is added to a specific form.

We are not using Remedy Alert client (which could do this) does anyone
know any other method to make this happen - I can't see any way to do
this.

 

My plan-B was to suggest an email notification but this is not really
what they are asking for.

 

Thanks

Debra

Re: Difference between DATE and DATE/TIME

Eric,

Remedy Date fields are Julian date.  I have used this oracle function to
cover this type of data to a date value.  Just use the 'J' flag with
oracle TO_DATE function.

TO_DATE(REQUESTED_DATE,'J') AS REQ_DATE

Hope this helps!

Hi, listers.

Does anyone know how DATE is stored in AR System database (Oracle)?

I understand DATE/TIME type filed is stored as seconds since 1/1/1970,
but 
what about DATE type field?

I am trying to create a view in Oracle using the following formula:

new_time(to_date('01/01/1970 00:00:00','MM/DD/ HH24:MI:SS')+
(t_schemaid.c_column_num/(60*60*24)),'GMT','CDT') My_Date_Time

If the filed is of DATE/TIME data type, the formula works perfectly.  
However, if the filed is of DATE data type, it gives the wrong Date.


Thanks,
Eric

Using Remedy Keyword Constants with ARSPerl Module ars_MergeEntry API

2010-06-10 Thread Anderson Debra (PRN)
Hi,

 

I am new to using Remedy Perl ARSPerl Module and am trying to figure out
how to pass in values equivalent to $TIMESTAMP$ or $SERVERTIMESTAMP$
keywords to a merge function.

 

Here is a snippet of my code but the constants do not evaluate and I end
up with invalid date values in the merged (updated) record.

 

$ar_result = ars_MergeEntry($connection,$store_schema,4,

$fldid_store_id,$store_id,

$fldid_latitude,$latitude,

$fldid_longitude,$longitude,

$fldid_geocode_update_date,AR_KEYWORD_SERVERTIMESTAMP,

$fldid_modified_date,AR_KEYWORD_SERVERTIMESTAMP,

$fldid_modified_by, $modified_by);

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Debra
