Re: Map http://midtierservername to a midtier URL such as http://midtierservername/arsys/home?

2007-10-12 Thread L. J. Head
I have a default.asp file sitting in the root of my web server with the
following in the head section

meta http-equiv=REFRESH content=0;
URL=http://server/arsys/home

the content=0 tells it to wait 0 seconds before doing the redirect...so when
my users go to

http://server
they immediately get redirected to
http://server/arsys/home

I have IIS 6, Tomcat 5.5.17 w
This is for web server/jsp engine gurus.

I have IIS 6, Tomcat 5.5.17 with Midtier 7.0.1. 

I tried messing with IIS's configuration so that http://midtierserver name
would map to something like http://midtierservername/arsys/home, so people
wouldn't have to type a long URL. Couldn't get it done.

IIS's virtual mapping wants me to pick a folder to map to not a URL like
above. Also, it wants an alias to map to, so even if I could get it done,
looks like the URL will look like, http://midtierservername/aliasname.

I see iisstart.htm file in the default directory, which contains the error
message that's displayed when I type http://midtierserver. Wondering if
there's any trick I can play with this file to have it redirect to
http://midtierservername/arsys/home or any other midtier URL.

Any thoughts?

TIA.

Re: w3wp.exe pegs CPU randomly - ARS 6.3

2007-10-12 Thread L. J. Head
Are you running ITSM?...this sounds like the Mid-Tier caching itself the
first time someone access the app in the morning...if I'm not mistaken 6.3
Mid-tier will clear it's cache of unused items during down periods
(overnight)...and the first person to request the page will get a delay
while it's caching.  If this is the case...then a properly configured 7.1
mid-tier should alleviate your issues as 7.1 has persistent cache
capabilities.

Subject: w3wp.exe pegs CPU randomly - ARS 6.3

Hello list,
Calling all Win 2003 Remedy geeks.  We are having production problems on our
win 2003, ARS 6.3 patch 14 mid-tier server.
Below is an email from my system administrator describing the problem.  If
anyone has any ideas, we would sure appreciate it.
Julie

I manage the server instances for our ARS team which are the
following:

Mid-tier:  W2K3/IIS6.0/ServletExec 5.0/ARS 6.3 - VMware
Application:  W2K3/ARS 6.3 - VMware
Database:  Oracle 9i on AIX 5.3.x

Anyway, I'm seeing the w3wp peg the CPU on the mid-tier almost every
morning, rendering the web server inoperable (even for static html
rendering).  If I temporarily remove the ServletExec ISAPI filter, static
html rendering is fine and CPU utilization is normal.  Re- insert the filter
and perform an iisreset - the same behavior occurs.

If I wait about 15-20 minutes (this problem occurs almost daily at 6:30 so
customers aren't complaining yet) the problem clears itself out and
everything is working fine.  If I monkey with it (iisresets, rebooting, etc)
the problem perpetuates itself even longer.

We're moving towards a ARS 7.1 install on new infrastructure, so I'm hoping
this will fix it - but in the meantime if anyone has run into this (and
possibly fixed it) any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Subject: v7.1 and the User/Group/Role forms w/ new stuff ( Standard
WebServices, strange workflow...)

All,

I have started to look at a clean install (no existing db) of v7.1 in some
detail and I have found a few interesting things.

Has anyone noticed the OOB Web Services that are in the base Server?

I see three Public (Group access) web services:
  User
  Roles
  Group

The form permission for the forms are as such:
  User: Public(hidden)
  Group: Administrator (only)
  Roles: Administrator (only)

So the User Web Service and the form it points at (User) are Publicly
accessible.

However User's field 1 only has one group with access to it.  Drum
role AssigneeGroupAccess. (No I did not stutter.) Which turns out to
be 'Group ID' = 60988. ( Field 2 and 4 no longer have access to the records
unless their 'Login Names' are added to the 'Dynamic Group Access' (field ID
60988) field.

Ok.. so the data should be safe by default. However this construct raises a
few questions for me too...


I wonder if the installer does the super smart thing and reviews the
permissions on field 1 on the User form before the changes and adjust the
permissions on the field 1 and/or the data in 'Dynamic Group Access' after
the changes? Or maybe it will just stomp on the User form (like it has in
previous upgrades and trash the customizations that customers have made to
the permissions? (and then leave the existing data totally unaccessible to
anyone except admin?)

Has anyone attempted to upgrade an existing server to v7.1 and have had
customizations to the permissions on the form/fields? (Any one know if the
customizations were stepped on or maintained?)


OH.. and the 'Status' field actually has two values now.
(Current(0), and Disabled(1)) And there is an OOB filter
(User:SetUserStatusCurrent) that test for ( 'Status' = 20) AND 
So I doubt that filter will ever be true. :( Maybe some of the OOB apps add
more 'Status' values to the User form?)

Just wondering

BMC only creates customer training for each major release. The assumption is
that if you know 7.0 then the content of the release notes and manuals for
7.1 should be sufficient to deal with the few changes. It isn't a major
retooling of your knowledge. There is a PPT that covers what is new in AR
System 7.1, CMDB 2.1 and Atrium Integration 7.1 which includes screen shots
and such. It is posted on BMC Developer Network ( developer.bmc.com) but

Just install an unlicensed version of remedy. I think it allows you up to

hone your remedy development skills, so you benefit in your job as well.

Now, if you are deploying/selling this application to end users, I'm not

not going to be the only one using it, then this might not work.

I suppose you could delete old records?  I guess that begs refinement of the
max record limit on an unlicensed Remedy install.

Is it 2000 records at any given time, or 2000 records for the entire

Perhaps you should give more requirements.  You mentioned that you want
something like ARS, but don't really care about ITSM or any specific type of
module.  It sounds like you're wanting to build custom database driven
applications, right?  If so, rather than looking at something like Remedy,
you'd be better off finding a traditional development language that has a
good interface to build forms and back end workflow.
I don't know of any as easy as Remedy, but .NET would be a good option for
something similar.

Re: Mid-Tier

2007-10-04 Thread L. J. Head
One of the main advantages I have seen at my current job is the fact that
when you go to upgrade the 'clients' you have one to upgrade...the mid-tier
server.  If you have a client install base then you need to worry about SMS
(or some other package distribution mechanism).
Another is the consistent client...most places use a standardized

Andy,

I don't think what you said is true - ( 'AssignedConfigTech' !=  $NULL$ )
AND ( 'DB.AssignedConfigTech' != 'TR.AssignedConfigTech')

If I am reading the statement correctly, the filter should not fire unless
the 'AssignedConfigTech' is changed. 

If you really want to fire the filter when 'AssignedConfigTech' is changed,
your condition should be:
( 'TR.AssignedConfigTech' !=  $NULL$ ) AND ('TR.AssignedConfigTech' != ) 

Gurus, correct me if this is wrong.

Re: BMC Maintenance

2007-10-02 Thread L. J. Head
I believe BMC works on an 'all or nothing' concept
 
If you use the product, then it must be included in the list of things that
are supported.
 
Now...here is a question for you...do they expect you to continue paying
support for that product after they no longer support it?or are they
willing to drop the support price off of your contract once they no longer
support the product?

I have a question on maintenance. We own several products one being SMS
Discovery service which is now retired by BMC. They will provide support for
the next year but will not provide any more upgrades. That being the case I
wished to exclude it from our annual maintenance agreement. I am being told
that I must fill out a purge agreement which states the following:

2. 3 CUSTOMER agrees that, once the License Purge has been completed,
CUSTOMER has no right to use the original Product on the Current System.

Now I thought when you buy a software license you own the license and can
not be forced to pay maintenance for it. BMC is saying that I must pay
maintenance for every one of their products that we have installed. This
sounds very wrong to me. I understand we are not entitled to any support but
we own the license and should be able to use the product. Right now our
support maintenance has lapsed while I try to resolve this issue.

Subject: Why does this set fields action fail?

** 

Hey everyone-

 

Hopefully this will be a simple question for someone!

 

I made a display only form to act as sort of a QM control panel.  There is a
form on our system called AllTickets which contains basic information on all
types of tickets- ID, Summary, Status, etc.

 

The form I made has a table and 2 character fields with menus that
correspond to fields on AllTickets.  The idea is that users can select an
item from the menu and get a list of all records on AllTickets that match.  

Once the user chooses a menu item, an active link sets a hidden field
(mdwAllTicketQualification/mdwAllTicketQualificationRelease) for a
qualification for the table.  The table qualification is 

 

(EXTERNAL( $mdwAllTicketQualification$)) AND (EXTERNAL(
$mdwAllTicketQualificationRelease$)) AND ( 'mdwLISTTicketNumber' LIKE ( QM
+  % )) AND ( 'mdwLISTStatus' !=  Closed ) AND ( 'mdwLISTStatus' !=
Resolved ) AND ( 'mdwLISTStatus' !=  Rejected ) AND ( 'mdwLISTStatus' !=
Canceled )

 

This works fine if I use an exact match: 'Product' LIKE $Product$ or
'Release' LIKE $Release$.  However, we have a product called Classified.
There are several versions, stored as Classifieds 2.x for example, so I want
to be able to use wildcards.

 

If I paste 'Product' LIKE $Product$ + % directly into
mdwAllTicketQualification, it does what I want it to do and returns all
records that start with Classifieds, but if I try and get an active link to
set 'Product' LIKE $Product$ + % into the field, I get an error that
says Data values are not appropriate for arithmetic operation.

 

Apparently it's treating the % like a literal character.  What do I have to
do to get that string set into the field?

 

I hope this is clear- let me know if you need clarification on the process.

 

Thanks,
Chris

What you are trying to do is a request that people have had for table fields
for quite a long time...to have the ability to make them unique.  Currently
I believe the only way to accomplish this would be to create a DB View

** 
Maybe it's too early in the day but I can't get my head wrapped around a
problem.
A group here needs to keep track of when records in a form gets modified.
They want to be able to search for a date range and come up with the records
modified in that date range. Simple enough. The problem I run into is if a
record gets updated a month ago, then it gets updated today. If they do
their time search for the records that were updated a month ago, it wont
show in that list.
So I created a table, every time the record gets modified it pushes to a new
table and creates a timestamp record. Created a join form between the parent
and the timestamp form. Works great except I can't get it to show me only
unique records. So if a record gets modified twice in a time period, when
they do their search on my join, it will show two of that record.
Am I going about this the wrong way?

Hello All,

I am trying to fix a problem with the Solution Summary field on the
Helpdesk form.   The admin before thought he could make that field
unlimited characters so he set the data input length to 0 under 
the database tab on field properties.  Since he did that, he cannot
use
that field or the possible solutions button.   We now get an
ORA-00932
error.

So I decided to duplicate the problem on the test server and see 
if I could delete the field and recreate it.  I imported the 
good bad helpdesk form onto the test server.  I tried to delete 
the field but it will not let me.  So then I just hid the field 
and created a new one.  When I save the form, on the admin tool 
it shows that its saves, but it only did it on one view 
regardless that its set to go on all views.  I made the changes
again on each individual form and it saves
somewhat reluctantly.   Well when I open the helpdesk form on the
user
client it doesnt' show the change.

When I look in the ARERRR.log, I show a bunch of errors that state 
Failure during SQL opreation on the database (ARERR 552) ORA-00904:
C12312312: invalid identifier errors for serveral fields on the
helpdesk form.   It seems as if the Oracle database and the Remedy
server are not connecting correctly.  I just can't figure out 
how to fix this now.

Any help or advice?

7.1 DB Restore

2007-09-28 Thread L. J. Head
Ok...here is a new oneI think it is anyway

with the 6.x world when syncing our environments we would take DB from
Server A (usually prod) and restore it to another DB for Dev, Test, Etc.
Now that in 7.1 licensing is stored in the DB instead of a file on the
serverwhen I perform this restore in our new environment...do I need to
re-apply licenses?

L.J.

I would think so... but here is an idea (Untested...)

How about you apply all of your license to all of your servers in the
progression?

So likely DB progression would be Prod to Test. So you apply all of your
Test keys on Production as well. That way when you move the DB to Test all
the keys are already there. (And the prod keys should be
ignored.)

And similarly if Dev is moved to Test then you would also apply Test's keys
on Dev too. (But I would think this type of a DB move would be rare if ever
done.)

But I think you get the idea.

Tony,

I would look at the client active links logs (and if you can Server
side API/SQL logs) to see if your actually facing a DB issue. Maybe
there is some workflow doing a search that is not as well indexed as
it should be and the DB is swapping the table out of active memory and
needing to shuffle things around or do a table scan?

Such problems have a way of just happening due to data growth or an
increase in volume of user activities over time.

Yes, I know that the application redeployment retains the perms - but I'm
trying to avoid having to re-deploy an entire application just because one
form was updated, and I am holding to a (probably vain) hope that it might
retain the perms if it already found them on the destination server.
Importing the form changes and THEN re-deploying the entire app. doesn't
sound like the improvement in the process that I'm looking for, since I
could achieve the same effect by just re-deploying in the first place. 
 
I guess what I'm saying is that I would expect that the initial installation
of a DA should be via deployment, due to the fact that the forms and
possibly the roles do not exist on the destination server, not to mention
potential licensing issues.  I mean, that encapsulation is the whole point
of the DA.  But why couldn't changes to the DA be migrated relative to what
already exists on the destination server?  If I already successfully
deployed it, and have the licenses for it, why do I have to brute force an
entire application redeployment just because 10% of it was modified?

Re: Migrating/Importing forms from Deployable apps

2007-09-25 Thread L. J. Head
You almost got itmove form, move container, re-move form.  This has been
one of those 'trial and error' things...the problem lies here...container A
knows that form is a member of it...if you just update the container...the
container b can't say that the form is a member of it because the form
doesn't existbut if you move the form then the container denies
ownership (in a manner of speaking)...so the form must first exist on server
b for the container to accept ownership...then you re-import form onto
server b and the container no longer balks about it not belonging to it...so
it lets you import with the permissions you have set.

Hi David

This is not related to your temp file problem, but is something you may wish
to note.  The Status field in the User form is changed in version 7.1 as
part of the password expiry process to have more than just Active as a
value.  Adding your new delete status may cause you a problem when you
upgrade to 7.1.

Just something to be aware of.

Interesting.  It doesn't time out on the newest install.  Only on our
production server.  We made a change on the User form but it was
minimal.  Only added Delete to Status field and changed it from a Radio
Button to a Drop Down List.

I have log files to send off to Support.  We'll see what they have to

OK, let me see if I have it now.  What you're saying, L.J, is that if the
form that resides within the DA already exists with the proper DA roles on
the destination server, that I don't have to redeploy the application to
update that form?  That importing the form normally will allow the role/form
relationship to continue as it was?

Hmmm - that's not what I've seen.  If I try to import a new form into a
deployable application where that form doesn't exist, the roles/permissions
get stripped.  If I then add the form into the application, and re-import
the def file of the single form, it then retains the permissions.

 

I would guess that you could create a dummy form on the target server with
the same name, add it to the DA, then import the def file of the real form
with the same name and it would retain the permissions.

Re: How to get the form and field names?

2007-09-21 Thread L. J. Head
I created a view in the Db with this sql

CREATE VIEW dbo.ExistingFields
AS
SELECT CAST(RTRIM(CAST(f.schemaId AS char)) + '' +
RTRIM(CAST(RIGHT(f.fieldId, 6) AS char)) AS int) AS RequestID, a.name AS
Form, a.schemaId AS FormID, 
  f.fieldName, f.fieldId, f.fieldType, f.datatype,
f.fOption, f.createMode, f.defaultValue
FROM dbo.arschema a INNER JOIN
  dbo.field f ON a.schemaId = f.schemaId

I then imported this view form on top of it.  This allows me to lookup
fields and field ID's by form name or ID along with some basic attributes
about them...all of the cast for the request ID field is an attempt to make
a 15 char unique ID for the request ID.  Hope it's helpful to you

Re: Quick upgrade question about v6.3 patch 22 (Solaris/Sybase)

2007-09-21 Thread L. J. Head
Well Carey, while I haven't performed the patch you are referring to (on
Solaris at least) I'm going to say that you don't need to execute this
script.  The reason being is that the update of the Db is only necessary
when going from one version to another.  When applying patches to an
existing version the only things that are patched are libs and executables.
While it certainly shouldn't hurt anything for you to run the script I do
not believe you need to.  It is my understanding that the 'upgrade' first
checks to see what version you are already running...if it finds that you
are already running the same version as the version you are upgrading to
then it simply exits and performs no changes.

I have downloaded all of the individual files. (We like to patch with files
instead of the installers.) I have read the docs in the download. However
there is an extra file that looks ... well ...
important...

specifically

/smbu_patches//ars/6.3/patch022/server/solaris/syb_db/arupsyb

I this file is only mentioned once in the Server-ReadMe.doc as a file
that was updated. No instructions on how to use it, or where to put it.

So ... I grabbed the installer for Solaris and looked at the ar_install
file. It looks like this is actually a program that is used to upgrade the
DB.

So... my question(s) become...
  Should I do nothing with this file? (What does not happen because of that
choice?)
  Should I apply the files, start the Server and run the arupsyb script
manually? (Run it before I apply the files?)

FWIW: All DB's appear to have an arup[syb|ora|inf|db2] file. So I really
only need to hear from someone who has applied patch 22 via the By Files
method.

I hope that someone out there has manually applied patch 22 to a server and
already has an answer for this. If not then I guess I will have to ask Tech
Support.

Thanks for the feedback. You might be 100% correct. But if that is the
case... then why include that file in the files set for the users?
Sure it should be part of the installer, but part of the patched files
lists?


* I see at least a bug in the patch docs, or the files distributed.
(take your pick)
* I think I could be seeing a bug in the patch by files process.
I am concerned that things like field sizes, or new fields were
added/changed on Core forms for the server. (and that arupsyb is what
would make those changes for us.)

I guess I will have to ask TechSupport about it I wonder how long it
will take to get a good answer from them?..  Time will tell..

OK, I just ran a sanity check - for my own, not the server's.  I created a

Size of Def file:  116 MB.
Max Size of tmp file in Windows/Temp:  113 MB+.  (It may have gone away

I think that somehow it's tied into the timeout due to server busy

continues to gather data but no where to report it.  The admin tool has
dropped the link and creates a 0 size def file.

I haven't had a response to my question about the timeout condition.

export process, the file would appear.

   We just moved over to the Windows environment from SUN systems.
I don't ever remember seeing anything like this on SUN.  If the system 
would have been writing a file this large in system workspace, the SUN
guys would have been all over me.

   I got a response from Support yesterday.  It's working as
designed.  I haven't ever had the admin tool time out with server busy 
error with an export of workflow before.  I also did not see (could have
missed it some where) that exporting workflow would create a huge
temporary file in a system temp directory.  If we would have known this

OK, I just ran a sanity check - for my own, not the server's.  I created a
def file of a few dozen forms.
 
Size of Def file:  116 MB.
Max Size of tmp file in Windows/Temp:  113 MB+.  (It may have gone away
before refreshing to a higher value).
 
So since I seriously doubt you have 10 GB worth of code, why are you getting
a 10 GB temp file?

Well, that still doesn't make sense, because even your DB, including all
indexes, isn't 10 GB.  Either there's some horribly inefficient design, or
there is a local issue.  I have Windows servers that don't have 10 GB of
open disk space, and I create def files for and on them all the time without
running out of space. 
 
Is this SQL, or Oracle?

From my understanding it's kind of a scratch file that is then processed
down to what comes out in the def file.  It seems to me that it 
shouldn't be that much bigger than the size of the def file that gets
created.  Worse case maybe an order of magnitude larger.

I think that somehow it's tied into the timeout due to server busy
message.  To me it looks like some kind of looping condition that 
continues to gather data but no where to report it.  The admin tool has
dropped the link and creates a 0 size def file.

I haven't had a response to my question about the timeout condition.

OK, here's what I don't get on this:  The biggest def file I have is
around 200 MB, and that's including most of ITSM 7.  How is a 10+ GB

   Here's an update on the issue.  The file size was 10 Gig and
growing rapidly.  The file was specifically tied to exporting workflow
from the admin tool.  As soon as we would cycle the service associated 
with the AR System the file would disappear.  When I would start the
export process, the file would appear.

   We just moved over to the Windows environment from SUN systems.
I don't ever remember seeing anything like this on SUN.  If the system 
would have been writing a file this large in system workspace, the SUN
guys would have been all over me.

   I got a response from Support yesterday.  It's working as
designed.  I haven't ever had the admin tool time out with server busy 
error with an export of workflow before.  I also did not see (could have
missed it some where) that exporting workflow would create a huge
temporary file in a system temp directory.  If we would have known this
before we would have setup disk space much differently.

Search menu works fine but we need distinct or you get multiple copies of
the same items in the menu.  I don't believe there is any way to do a
distinct within a search menu.  I would love to see this added as a checkbox
feature to the search menu-probably need to submit an RFE.

I knew we could use one of these other options but none of those are
elegant nor would they be instantaneous with updates to the external table
(since it's based on when the escalation runs).  I just wanted to make sure
I wasn't missing something obvious regarding vendor forms.

Re: Query/Menu from Vendor Form?

2007-09-13 Thread L. J. Head
Vendor forms are at the software level...not the DB level so you can't do
that.  You could get inventive and create a regular form, use an escalation
to scrape the records of interest out of the vendor form then use either a
search or sql menu against the actual table...but not knowing the level of
records in question I don't know if that would be feasible.  We currently do
something similar for web service calls...we make the call...insert the
returned records into a table with a unique transaction id and then use
those records for a table display...

All,

 

Does anyone know if you can perform a SQL query against a vendor form?

 

We have a vendor form pulling back LDAP data and need to build a menu
against the form.  A standard search menu pulls up duplicate values for the
field (office symbol) so we need to perform a distinct query.  We can use a
SQL menu but I haven't been able to find the vendor form for use with a
direct SQL call.  The arschema lists it as id 623/type 5 but there is no
table or view for this form that I can find (because there really is no
table).

 

Anyone know the trick to accessing the vendor form directly via SQL?

If I remember correctly with 7.x you now need to specify the Mid-Tier

When I point these v7.1 Mid-tier installs to a v7.0.1 (patch 3) ARS server
then they allow the users to authenticate and appear to be working. Of
course the rub is that the production server is v6.3 patch 20.

I did not find any thing in the known issues ... but maybe I just have not
found the correct pdf/ppt yet.


Does anyone have an explanation for error 9388 means? ( It is not in the
v7.1 error guide. GRR.)

We really want support for Safari on the client end but I do not see it in

When I point these v7.1 Mid-tier installs to a v7.0.1 (patch 3) ARS 
server then they allow the users to authenticate and appear to be 
working. Of course the rub is that the production server is v6.3 patch 
20. 

I did not find any thing in the known issues ... but maybe I just have 
not found the correct pdf/ppt yet. 


Does anyone have an explanation for error 9388 means? ( It is not in 
the v7.1 error guide. GRR.) 


BTW: 
We really want support for Safari on the client end but I do not see 
it in the compatibility matrix. 

Oh.. now I see why it is not in the compatibility matrix...

My understanding (not having my hands on a 7.1 server yet) is that you
simply tell it how many of each type of license you have purchased and it
accepts that...no keys needed

We are building a 7.1 server from scratch. I know we will have to install a
Server license.

Will we have to install the other ITSM licenses prior to installing each
product?

You say below that it will upload the  license file to the form. So how
would a clean install work?

Vincent,
 
  As Doug suggested, it is best just to leave that directory alone.  
 
 1) KEEP the directory because the arsystem.tag file is still needed 
 and deleting it removes functionality
 2) Delete the multilicense.lic file if you want because it is no 
 longer used
 3) Leave the arsystem.lic file as documentation/backup even though it 
 is no longer used and once the 7.1 or later system is installed, all 
 licenses in this file are uploaded into the new license form
 
  Best course of action is to just leave everything alone.  AR System will
just ignore the .lic files after the upgrade.  If you really need a couple
of bytes back on your file system, you can delete the multilicense.lic file.

The armonitor.conf is in /etc/arsystem/server_name... If we delete the
/et/arsystem, did the AR System server start ?

 

Did the 7.1 use the armonitor.conf or this file is obsolete or in another
location?

Joe,

 

Just to help David out a bit with a couple of answers:

 

... delete the folder /etc/arsystem/ 

 

Maybe...  how is that for a crisp, clear, consise and definitive answer!

 

We will no longer be using the arsystem.lic file or the multlicense.lic
file.  Those files are obsolete as of the

7.1 release.

 

However, there is one more file that you might have (you definitely have if
you are an ITSM customer).  It is

called arsystem.tag.  That file is still important.

 

This is a file with some licensing information for the approval server.

 

There is a form in the system that can hold the data that is in this file,
and in the future, applications will put

the data in that internal form.  For now, the system will check both the
internal form AND this file for the tag

information and will use it appropriately.  HOWEVER, the upgrade does not
copy the content of this file into

the form (because there are versions of the applications that still will
install in this file rather than the form).

 

There is no need for you to do anything, the system will still reference the
file if it is present.  Over time, all

apps will be updated to use the internal table that is now present and this
file will not be needed.  BUT, for

the interum, you need this file.

 

So, don't delete the directory if there is a .tag file in it.  You can get
rid of the two .lic files (although it is 

suggested that you keep a backup copy of arsystem.lic just in case and why
not leave it there).

 

In summary,

 

1) KEEP the directory because the arsystem.tag file is still needed and
deleting it removes functionality

2) Delete the multilicense.lic file if you want because it is no longer used

3) Leave the arsystem.lic file as documentation/backup even though it is no
longer used and once the 7.1 or

later system is installed, all licenses in this file are uploaded into
the new license form

 

 

.. shared systems...

Displaying the Licenses windows

By default, the Licenses windows are unavailable in BMC Remedy
Administrator.  Instead, when you click the items on the File  Licenses
menu, a message appears redirecting you to forms in BMC Remedy User and the
BMC Remedy Administration Console.

To use the Licenses windows in BMC Remedy Administrator, you can make them
available as follows:

1 Add a registry key value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Remedy\Remedy
Administrator with the following settings:

* Name: ShowLicenses

* Type: REG_BINARY

2 Set ShowLicenses to 1 to make the Licenses windows available. To make the
Licenses windows unavailable, set the value to 0.

Supported on Server 6.3.00?
Yes [6.3.00 features]
 
Given that, I have installed AR System Administrator 7.1.00.  I am running

File, Licenses, Manage User Licenses.  I get the following message:
This option is depreciated from BMC Remedy Administrator.  Go to BMC
Remedy User and open the corresponding option in the AR System
Administration Console.
 
Being that the server I am trying to manage licenses on is still 6.3, it
does not have an AR System Administration Console.
 
I may have missed something in the docs.  Does anyone know of a way to
manage user licenses given the following above supported combination of
Administrator and Server?

Days After Expiration before Disablement - how is a user flagged as
'disabled'?  Is this something we will be able to do with user accounts
ourselves or purely a password management thing?
New User Must Change Password - how does it know they are a new user?  Is it
be possible to set that flag manually so that they must change their

   Ooops, I mean EIE 7.1 being compatible with EIE 7.0.

   I checked the release notes, nothing about another

 To be honest I don't expect CMDB 2.1 to work with
 ITSM 7.0 without another patch. I did not download
 any CMDB 2.1 documentation yet, perhaps it is in
 the release notes?
  
 I was hoping EIE 2.1 was compatible with EIE 2.0
 and only needed an upgrade of the binaries and
 forms, guess I need to catch up with my reading as
 well :(

   The real question is not if you need CMDB 2.1.0
   to work properly with
   ARS 7.1.00, but whether or not CMDB 2.1.0 will
   work with ITSM 7.0.01
   Patch 005 or do we need to have been told to
   wait for patch 006?  Guess
   I'll find out the hard way today...  I plan to
   upgrade both 7.1 beta
   servers to 7.1 release code and see how that
   goes.  Looks like CMDB
   2.1.0 also contains a replacement for the EIE
   application, which we had
   ready for production and did not know was
   changing, so that throws
   another monkey wrench into the upgrade.

   Interesting.  The release notes for ARS 7.1
   state that CMDB 2.0.1
   requires Patch 004 to work properly with ARS
   7.1.00.  I wonder why they
   did not release it with ARS 7.1 since it is a
   required patch?  It isn't
   on supportweb.  Remind me not to try to create
   any classes in the CMDB
   until they get the patch released.

In previous versions the What's new doc gave us a detailed discussion of the
new features so we had a really good idea of how they are used instead of
simply a bulleted list.  Do we need to do a search across all documents to
get a complete picture of what each new feature means?

   Ooops, I mean EIE 7.1 being compatible with EIE 7.0.

   I checked the release notes, nothing about another
   patch for ITSM 7, so I guess somebody has to go
   first and check for the rest of us :)


   2007/9/3, Sebastiaan De Man [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 To be honest I don't expect CMDB 2.1 to work with
 ITSM 7.0 without another patch. I did not download
 any CMDB 2.1 documentation yet, perhaps it is in
 the release notes?
  
 I was hoping EIE 2.1 was compatible with EIE 2.0
 and only needed an upgrade of the binaries and
 forms, guess I need to catch up with my reading as
 well :(

   The real question is not if you need CMDB 2.1.0
   to work properly with
   ARS 7.1.00, but whether or not CMDB 2.1.0 will
   work with ITSM 7.0.01
   Patch 005 or do we need to have been told to
   wait for patch 006?  Guess
   I'll find out the hard way today...  I plan to
   upgrade both 7.1 beta
   servers to 7.1 release code and see how that
   goes.  Looks like CMDB
   2.1.0 also contains a replacement for the EIE
   application, which we had
   ready for production and did not know was
   changing, so that throws
   another monkey wrench into the upgrade.

It has the same network name. I just had to change the db password because I
never had the db password for the original dev box heh.

Something else I've tried. I opened the join form that corresponds to
T378 in the admin tool. Moved a field and saved it. Opened the support
console in the user tool and no more error. This only works for join forms I
guess though, I try and do it on a regular data form and get the error.

Creation of one of the SQL views for the form failed within the SQL

If the SQL server was brought up on another server, does that new server
have the same network name as the old server? Or is it named differently? If
it has a different name, you should use the stored procedure to rename the
SQL database...if you haven't already.

Each server needs to have a separate dns name that it can respond to so that

1) User creates a HD Case from website using the mid-tier.
2) Case worklog is updated from client in Central Standard Time. Case
Worklog shows correct CST $TIMESTAMP$ in worklog.
3) User views the worklog update from website/mid-tier, but $TIMESTAMP$ on
the mid-tier worklog shows what appears to be Pacific Standard Time, -2
Hours.
 
Has anyone else seen this? I looked all over the mid-tier for some type of
time zone configuration setting, etc.
I thought the mid-tier would look at the client time on the user's pc and
update accordingly.

One thing about Floating licensesthey aren't shared across multiple
servers.  Not unless you have a Server Group setup...and then in that case
you treat the server group as a single server...and don't need to combine
the user logs in order to get a single picture because the single server log
should be exact across all servers.  Are you in a Server Group?  If not then
you actually have a grand total of 100 per server and you wouldn't sum them
to get a total

Subject: User Logs in multi-server environment

Hi,

We're on ARS6.3 and MS SQL Server 2000

We  have 3 ARS servers with a load-balancer, and a single DB server.

We're logging our users (creating ARUSER.LOG)on each of the 3 servers.
Each of the 3 aruser.log files contain lines which include things like:
FLOAT  GRANT WRITE(9 of 100 write)
FLOAT  RELEASE(8 of 100 write)
Meaning, I guess, that 9 of our 100 licences are currently consumed; then
8...
Sometimes we get a line like:
NO WRITE FREE ...  when, presumably, all 100 licences have been taken.

We merge this data from all 3 files and collect the data in an MS Access DB

What's strange is that when we examine the number of licences consumed when
we get the NO WRITE FREE message, it can exceed 100. E.g. the last line from
Server A might say: (33 of 100 write)
Server B .. (35 of 100 write)
Server C .. (36 of 100 write)

We're pretty sure that we *don't* get more licences than the number
purchased, but wonder why the maths doesn't add up! Is ARUSER.LOG supposed
to be an exact trace of licence checkout/checkin, or is it just a snapshot
of some description?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Can send more details off-list if
anyone thinks they can help.

Thanks.

While trying to load a Web Service I am receiving the attached error. This
Web Service has been used for almost 6 months with no problems. There have
been no changes to my Remedy server that I am aware. There has been a change
to the Web Service which is why I need to re-load it so I can map the new
data values. We have changed this Web Service many times but have had no
problems. Can anyone shed some light on this one?

Re: Possible Table field Enhancement

2007-08-16 Thread L. J. Head
First off I agree with you...it would be nice to be able to do this...but
one of the complications associated with this is the fact that columns in
tables use field ID's...those field ID's are used for things like colsum and
such and wouldn't be available in these 'dynamic' tables.  The only thing
you would be able to do with these dynamic tables would be to display
information...you wouldn't be able to interact with any of the data in any
way because none of the columns exist and you wouldn't be able to write
workflow against the nonexistant columns.  I agree and have come across
several instances where this type of thing would have been useful...but with
my 'problem' defined...it makes the capability less interesting/useful

Subject: Possible Table field Enhancement


** 

Well, I don't think you can already do this, but I could see it coming in
use occasionally. I would like to have the ability to set the contents of a
table using Direct SQL and external(). This way I could dynamically build a
query string, then use external to present it to the table field. I would
like to see Direct SQL as an option in the 'Form:' field on the Table
Property tab in the admin tool. The 'Field on Form:' and the 'Field as
Column' areas would be blank, as they would just pull the list of fields
from your SQL statement. You would enter your SQL (hardcoded) or the
External() function in the current 'Qualification bar' on the Table Property
tab.

 

They do this functionality with Set Fields. You have the option to select
Direct SQL as an option to choose SQL in the 'Read Value for Field From:'
field instead of choosing a form or the current transaction. I would like to
see this mimicked in a Table field.

 

I've only needed this twice, and both times have had to identify a
work-around. I don't want to have to create an SQL view in the database
every time I need to work around this.

 

What is your input? Have you come across a situation where this would be
handy (such as when you need to join two tables)? 

 

Another solution that would have worked for me in the past is if I could
have chosen multiple remedy forms to pull in data to my table, using a join
statement in the 'Qualification bar', and going through the GUI to choose
which fields show up from each form, similar to when you create a join form.

 

The reason why I don't just create a join form to start out with is that in
remedy, you cannot create a join form of two view forms, and you can only
create joins of other remedy views. I don't want to have to go out to the
database, create my own non-remedy join of the tables from which the other
views pull from, and then point a view form on top of that join so that I
can access it in a table. Also, this would allow me to be much more flexible
in which data I present in a table. Instead of having multiple tables
layered on top of each other, I can just dynamically send them their own SQL
qualification and use only one table, just changing the contents it displays
based on the user, or based on some other options the user chooses. This
could really eliminate the need for using multiple table fields in a lot of
situations which I've seen.

Hi Kathy,
 
You can control access to attachments in two ways.  One use permissions like
any other field. Set the permissions for the Attachment Field to Submitter
to allow only the Submitter to update the field.
 
In the Attachment Pool you can adjust the functions that are displayed to
prevenet people from saving to disk or deleting the attachment as well.

** You cannot compare the file contents, but using TR you should be able to
detect that a file was attached again (if the DB value wasn't $NULL$). The

the full filename on the client. 

Also note that user cannot change the attachment from the attachment field

Re: Guided Entry

2007-07-27 Thread L. J. Head
Ok...now this is really rusty in my head...so please forgive the
cobwebs...but when Active Link Guides were first presented they were
presented for exactly what you are talking about.  Here is what I remember
of the process

1 Create Button and AL that starts the guide
2a AL does a setfield to field 1
2b message action (ensuring to check that box that says something about
displaying in prompt bar) that tells the user what to do in this field
2b wait action

Repeat step 2 for each field.  When the prompt bar checkbox is used it
displays another area of the screen (at the bottom if I remember correctly)
that displays the message.  When they are done with that field they can
either press Tab or a continue button that shows up in the prompt area.
Then it goes to the next AL, so on and so forth until either the guide is
exited (I think there is a cancel button automatically created) or you tell
it to exit guide...or it finishes all of the AL's in the guide.  It's a pain
in the ass to setup but does exactly what Robert is looking for...the
ability to provide field by field instructions.  Please let me know if this
is what you were looking for

Subject: Re: Guided Entry

Ah, that would explain things a little.  I haven't made those yet, however,
I believe what your after is the wait if-action of an active link.  I
believe how this works is that wait halts the guide allowing you to perform
some other actions.  In the wait if-action you specify the label of the
button the user will press to continue the guide.

As I am in the process of thinking this through for our own company, here's
what I got so far.

The way I kind-of figured this would work is to use the active link guide in
conjunction with a page holder.  On each page the information is organized
into sections and the user is prompted on each page what to fill out.  The
guide would be strictly used as flow control over the page holder and
instead of popping up message boxes, each page would have a text trim field
explaining the fields and the data the user is supposed to enter. The user
would simple fill out the fields on the page and click the continue button
to allow the guide to move to the next page and so on.

On an overview of the entire form, this whole page holder wizard
would be in a separate view, on the form that the wizard is on, so that as
the user is filling out the actual fields and when they save, there would be
no need for the developer to use a push fields action to push the data to
another form as they would simply need to commit changes.

After the save, or when ever the form needs to be displayed, the form would
just be re-opened to the original view that laid out all the information in
what ever way you had it the first place.

Again, this is just a rough draft I have been circling in my head for a
while now.  I think this would get you in the right direction though
=)

 Yes I have.  Basically, the form selection is where the entry will reside.
The entry point active link is the AL that is fired.  It is important to
note that by setting the entry point AL, it will override the list of active
links that you can set on the second page when creating the guide.

 Usually if I need additional workflow to fire, I'll setup two guides:
 One that is assigned the entry point active link, which in turn, calls

Hi all -
 
Is anyone aware of any way to configure shortcut keys to fire workflow or

currently working with would like to be able to press Ctrl+letter to popup
a dialog box that allows them to enter a new note on the ticket.  I'm fairly
certain there's nothing within Remedy that will do this.  But perhaps
someone has a workaround or 3rd party integration that has accomplished this
in the past?

** 
The brain trust in our Windows Admins group named our NT domain to match our
company name, and now that our company name has changed, we have to migrate
thousands of users from one domain to another.
 
The problem is that our AREA LDAP integration is referencing the old domain,
so if a user is migrated to the new domain and changes their password, they
can no longer get into Remedy (at least, not using LDAP authentication)
 
Is there a way anyone knows to set up multiple AREA LDAP configurations?  So
that, for example, if the first fails, the second can be used? Or better
yet, have the LDAP configuration be specified per user instead of the same
for all users?
 
We have ARS v6.3 patch 20, authenticating against our windows 2K domain

Re: Providing Read/Write Access Without Buying Licenses? I Doubt It

Or another 'option' they might suggest is to provide an option on submit of
'who do you want this submitted as'then create all of the records as

Subject: Providing Read/Write Access Without Buying Licenses? I Doubt It

Here's an interesting for for y'all.

We have a very good and fairly long relationship with a BMC partner that we
use for consulting/development/purchasing and, when the time comes in
November or so, we will also be using them for support instead of BMC.

First, a little background.

We use Remedy Customer Support 5.6 with a not-too-customized version of the
Customer Access Interface deployed through the mid-tier. The submitter mode
on the AR server is locked, so that customers with account using read
licenses can submit and work their own tickets through the web. However, we
have many customers that insist on using the phone for the initial
submission of an issue, and then want to work the ticket from then on
through the web. You see where I'm going with this? The customer can't
update tickets via the web if they were not the submitter, unless they have
a fixed or floating license.
Floating licenses are expensive, so we've been reluctant to go down that
road.

Our VP of support doesn't like the BMC partner that we've been using nearly
full time for the past two years (they're GREAT, BTW), so now this VP is
bringing in another consulting firm who claims that for $6400, they will
solve the customer access interface licensing problem without purchasing
any new licenses from BMC and also in a BMC approved manner.

I call B.S.

First, I find it hard to believe that BMC would allow some sort of scheme
where you can get away with not buying licenses and still give your customer
base read/write access to their tickets.

Second, how else would one run a server in locked submitter mode, while
still allowing customers to modify their tickets even if the ticket was
submitted on their behalf by a tech support agent? The first thing that
comes to mind would be to have a trigger or scheduled job or something at
the database level change the submitter column to the customer's login name
on insert of a new record. I seriously doubt that's a BMC approved
solution.

Perhaps this firm is going to suggest something like having the customer's
log in but all the actual interaction with ARS will be proxied through a
single user with a fixed license and all the necessary permissions. But even
that seems like something that BMC might balk at.

Thanks.

Mike

Subject: Submitter Mode - Locked ...Brute force?

 

Good Morning Listers,

 

We have an existing system operating with the Submitter Mode set to
Changeable.   This system has around 750 forms with a mix of Remedy and home
grown applications.  We need to change submitter mode to Locked so we can
host another custom application which must run in Submitter Mode Locked.

 

I have 3 questions!

 

1. Is there any way, other than ones that require brute force, to
determine if the original system has workflow that modifies the submitter
field?  I have set the development box to Submitter Mode locked and tried
some very limited record modification, but I don't have any testing
resources available.

 

Here's what I've tried so far on our dev system (Remedy 6.3; MS SQL Server):

*   Analyzed Advanced search results on the object_search_details form.
The selection criteria was ('Item Details' LIKE %Submitter%) AND NOT('Item
Details' LIKE %1 = 0%).  I haven't seen a problem in resulting (100 or so)
records. 

*   I've also checked the Submitter field #2 for other names it may
have. 

 

2. Are there any gotchas I should know about that might cause us problems
if/when I change the production system?

 

3. Is it safe to assume that our Remedy/BMC applications will NOT have
workflow that writes to the Submitter form?

 

I would appreciate any words of wisdom you might have for me.

 

Many thanks,

Leigh Gruber

Also I'll take a look at the filter_set.. tables too.  I know there are many

Hi Leigh,

You ought to be able to determine whether workflow modifies a Submitter
field's contents by querying the ARS database.

Run SQL queries against the filter_set, filter_push, actlink_set, and
actlink_push tables to see whether fieldId 2 (Submitter) is the object of
any set-field or push-field actions. The escalation actions are stored along
with the filter actions, so you'll get 2-for-one there.

That would not catch any direct-SQL modifications to Submitter, but I am not
certain that having submitter mode = locked prevents those anyway.

Re: Help with Run-If Qualification

2007-07-09 Thread L. J. Head
Not entirely true.  If you only look at TR.field != DB.field then any time
the value doesn't change and the DB value isn't null that evaluates to true.
The original qualification of
( 'TR.field' !=  $NULL$ ) AND ( 'TR.field' != 'DB.field'
Is one of the proper ways to check if a field is changing.  As long as you
are not looking for it changing to null

It's my understanding that a TR value only exists if it's != to the DB
value- it exists because it's different, so the qualification TR.field !=
$NULL$ is the same as TR.field != DB.field.

So ('TR.Assigned To' != $NULL$ AND 'Status' != Assigned) should work.


Also, sorry if this is obvious, but TR and DB values can onlu be checked
with filters, not Active links.

Re: Field names in a list

2007-06-29 Thread L. J. Head
ARInside does provide that information for each field...but the reason you
don't see it 'readily' available is the fact that the Field Label can be
different per view...so while the DB name is consistent if a form has 10
views it can be named 10 different things depending on which view you look
at...so it is in the DB...but it's a bit hidden...:)

Subject: Field names in a list


** 
As we all know each field in a form has at least three names, one the user
sees (user-facing), the name we see in the admin tool and the name stored in
the database. 
 
I have a manager who wants a csv file listing all the fields on a form
showing the user-facing name alongside the admin-tool name. The reason is
that users see the admin-tool name (or the database name) while putting
together reports. We have for instance, relabeled field 'Tag Number' so that
users see 'PIMS Number', but it remains 'Tag Number' in the admin tool and
Tag_Number in the database. 
 
The admin-tool and database names are easy to come by, but how can I extract
the user-facing names? Will arinside do it? I can't install anything needing
admin rights without a song-and-dance routine with computer security--that
takes weeks. If arinside or some other tool will do the trick, I can
possibly speed up that process. 
 
I've been through the database this morning looking in a MS SQL installation
on my laptop, and I do not see a table under ARSystem that holds the info I
need. For instance, Field has the name and a lot of other info, but column
fieldName is the admin-tool name. 
 
Any help would be appreciated. Is the answer obvious? Am I missing
something, as usual?
 
Thanks.

** Looking for feedback on whether the following set up would violate a
license agreement with BMC:

Putting up web sites (not MidTier) where end users can submit and update
records but the web site authenticates with the ARS server using one ID. 
This ID has been granted a Fixed license and each site will have a unique
Remedy ID attached to it. Also, it is possible that many of the users
submitting and updating tickets through these web sites will have a Remedy
login with a Floating license, however, the web sites will not use that ID
to authenticate. 

I believe that this would be a violation but cannot find anything written
from BMC that states it would.

Form Permissions Stripped

Ok...here is a situation at my current position that I can't understand.

ARS 6.3 P21
Server 2003
SQL 2000

You have an existing deployable application on server B.  On server A you
add a new form to that same deployable application.  If you then import the
new from into Server B the admin tool strips the role permissions because it
is not part of the deployable app...so you now add that new form to the
application...and re-import and all works well...so we have a chicken and
egg situation...we have a deployable application which doesn't contain the
form...and a form that doesn't exist...so we can't add it.  We contact
Remedy support about this issue and get the fabled 'functions as designed'
reply...another co-worker found an option in Migrator that tells it to bring
any 'missing' forms over with an application during migration...which seems
to work...but I can't believe they would put you in this catch 22 without a
solution...any suggestions on how this could be done without errors without
having to import things multiple times?

I understand and utilize the differences between a form def and an
application def.  I don't view deployable applications as a single unit as
you apparently do.  I may be a bit 'old fashioned' in that respect...but I
still migrate only changes and not the entire application...likely why I

L.J.,

I think your dealing with the deployable application paradigm a bit wrong.
I think of the deployable application is one logical unit. So, I am not sure
it makes any sense to move only a form (that is part of a deployable
application) from server to server. No more since than moving an Active
link, Filter or Menu either. I think you should move the application, not
parts of it.


I also suspect that your not exporting the application but your exporting
the form object(s). The difference is in the admin tool (Tools-- Export
Definitions...-- To Definition File) vs ( Tools -- Export Application)
. If you look at the two files you will see differences in the format/data.

phased out. The ARSD Community Downloads have been migrated to the new site.
Because this is a 'private viewing', please do not share the site
information with others at this time. 

Through the BMCDN, you can share experience, source code, documents, and
other technical information with peers, BMC technical staff, and BMC
partners. The BMCDN expands the BMC Software solution ecosystem, enabling
you to realize the value of Business Service Management (BSM), BMC Atrium
CMDB, BMC Remedy Action Request System, and other key initiatives.

Features and benefits of the new BMCDN include:
-   Leverage, streamline, and expand your technical capabilities around
BMC Software solutions, and increase your value to your organization
-   Jump-start IT development projects with shared code and technical
documents
-   Enhance communications via forums between peers, clients, and BMC
staff about technical ideas, best practices, and design alternatives
-   Post, retrieve, and search technical documents, including Community
Downloads
