Re: javascript syntax to set a Remedy field for timezone offset (help please!)

2017-04-17 Thread Lyndsay Reese
If anyone else is presented with this requirement, here is how to do it:
Add the following to the form view "Web Header Content":





function getTimeOffset()

{

var d = new Date();

return (d.getTimezoneOffset());

}




Then, create an Active Link with the following Run Process command line
(where "887470919" is your custom integer field ID):

javascript document.getElementById('arid_WIN_2_887470919').value =
getTimeOffset();


Flush cache and you're all set!

javascript syntax to set a Remedy field for timezone offset (help please!)

2017-04-12 Thread Lyndsay Reese
Could someone please help me with syntax here? I am not familiar with
javascript at all, but I need to run this javascript to grab the timezone
offset: (new Date().getTimezoneOffset());

Here is the syntax I'm currently using in the Run Process of the Active
Link to put the value into a Remedy field (which results in the "Function
not supported (ARERR 9369) Error):
javascript:F(885580926).S(new Date().getTimezoneOffset());
It seems like the function SHOULD be supported, as they do something
similar with an active link in this OOB Active Link:
RKM:KBI:SearchResults_GetCurrChunk
Run Process command:
javascript:F(302258823).S(new IntegerType(F(302258813).mChunkPage));

Thank you in advance!

How to set timezone offset from browser using javascript?

2016-11-29 Thread Lyndsay Reese
Hello,
I am trying to get the Time zone offset (or even just the Time zone for
that matter) from the browser using $PROCESS$ in a set fields on an Active
link on window loaded.  The problem is, I don't know javascript and can't
think of another way to do this without it.  I am trying to keep this
dynamic, rather than pulling a static time zone from the User Preference
form and looking up the offset in the Time Zone form. I was given the below
javascript command, but get the error below when I try to call it in the
set fields. Can anyone help me out with the syntax?  TIA!

Field:
ClientTimezoneOffset__c

Value:
$PROCESS$ javascript:var d = new Date();var n = d.getTimezoneOffset('
$ClientTimezoneOffset__c$')

Error on Window Loaded:
"Caught exception : Unable to get property 'match' of undefined or null
reference";

Thank you,
Lyndsay

Re: Unable to select rows in table fields from mobile devices 8.1

2015-05-13 Thread Lyndsay Reese
Thanks all. We did look at SmartIT, however we had to scrap that idea
because it does not allow the removal of fields that we aren't using (the
one we have built is VERY minimal by request). Has anyone solved the issue
of row selection from a mobile device?

 Lyndsay,



 have you looked at the Smart IT native mobile apps for iOS and Android?

 These give you a very flexible, easy to use Ticket Console showing
 incident data from your Remedy ITSM 8.1 system, and it does support certain
 bulk actions.

 Users can also actively view and updates incidents from those mobile apps.



 Smart IT is covered by your standard Remedy Service Desk / Suite user
 licenses, so no extra purchase needed.



 You can download a sample version from app stores, if you want to try it
 out.

 Hello ARSListers,

 We have been asked to create a simple view of the Incident Management
 Console that our users can access from their mobile devices and perform a
 limited number of functions.  I've created the view and it displays
 correctly, however, we are unable to select any rows in the table fields
 from touch screen devices. I opened a ticket with BMC and they advised that
 this would require customization, but were unable to explain what would
 be needed (other than to recommend BMC Professional Services). We cannot
 buy any additional products or services to accomplish this task and I am
 happy to do the work myself, if I know what needs to be done. Has anyone
 else tackled such a request without the help of 3rd party applications? If
 so, what is the best way to go about this?  Thank you in advance.

Re: RRR|Chive vs. DDM

2014-10-08 Thread Lyndsay Reese
The documentation on the RRRchive download shows 7.6.04. Is it definitely
8.1 compatible?
On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 3:56 PM, Misi Mladoniczky m...@rrr.se wrote:

 Hi,

 I will only touch the specific question about DDM vs RRR|Chive.

 DDM was not really designed to copy the amount of data in a complete
 system.

 RRR|Chive has better delta migration functionality, and will delete/restore
 tickets as appropriate.

 Copying all records of a big system takes days or weeks through the API.
 But
 the final Delta transfer using RRR|Chive should not take more than a few
 hours.

 Using RRR|Chive you need to understand which data you want to skip.

 I just had a client going from 7.6 to 8.1 doing this. They were quite big.
 The
 downtime was 3 hours for the cut-over.

  Hi Lyndsay,
 
  A bit over a year ago I architected  implemented the data migration for
 my
  client at the time, which involved an upgrade from 7.1 to 8.1, and a
  migration of the data from Oracle to SQL Server.  Like you, we only
 wanted
  to migrate a subset of the data and leave a whole bunch of garbage
 behind.
 
  This custom solution had a Remedy based control and configuration
  application along with a .NET executable. The control  config app was
 used
  pretty simply to describe which forms we were interested in migrating
 along
  with connection and authentication info. The exe then used this info to
  affect the data transfer.
 
  Unlike other Remedy based data migration tools out there, this solution
 did
  NOT transfer the data through the Remedy servers, but instead used the
 ARS
  data dictionary info about each of the required forms to dynamically
  construct SQL statements which affected the data transfers through a
  database link between the legacy and new DBs (e.g. SELECT INTO and UPDATE
  FROM type statements).  It was very fast.
 
  If you don't find another solution and are interested, I'd be happy to
  provide more details about how this thing worked.

  I am in need of a good data migration tool to get all of our current

 our
  full prod db to the new server and then upgrading it, as it has had its
 own

  Therefore, the servers are not identical. The new server is built,
  customized, and UAT tested. We do have a development server where we
 took a
  db copy of prod, upgraded it to 8.1.01 (to match versions with the new
  server) and now we need to migrate the data. I've never used RRR|Chive
 or
  DDM. Is one better than the other for this type of migration?
 
 
 
  Thanks in advance for any thoughts/opinions/suggestions

Last Name customer search requires 3 characters instead of 2

2014-08-14 Thread Lyndsay Reese
Hello listers,
We have our customer search set to match based on last name, which OOB
requires you to enter at least 3 characters before the hover with the
matching results will appear. However, we have MANY customers who have
valid last names of exactly 2 characters. While I know that users can hit
ENTER in the customer field and do a search that way, our users would like
to be able to just type in the 2-letter last name and have it appear in the
hover, without that added step. This would save them a lot of time and
frustration. Is there a setting someplace where we can change this?

Thank you,
Lyndsay

Thanks LJ. I had a brain fart (I was modifying the Last Name field

the 'auto-complete after keystrokes' on the right field!

 I believe that is configured in the 'type ahead' setting for the field in
