Re: New Task Creation

Yes that is correct. But how about the other behaviors I have observed. It 
should have been thrown a warning message, that is not coming. It is taking the 
users to Login Page.

New Task Creation

2016-12-05 Thread Madhu V
Hi ,

Is anyone aware , why there is a restriction on opening a TMS:Task in new 
mode?. I could see there is an active link(TMS:SHR:PreventDirectCreate) which 
Closes the Window when we try to open a form in New Mode. 

There are few things happenings as I noticed.

1> Ideally there should have been a Warning message in prompt bar "Message 
[45105] This form cannot be opened in new mode." But same is not displayed to 
the User.

2> Sometimes User has been routed to Landing Console or Request Entry Console 
though there is no Home Page set in AR System User Preferences form

3> Weird thing is most of the Users are being sent back to Login Page of Remedy.

We are in ARS 8.1 and ITSM 7.6.04. Please let me know if you come across with 
any answer.

Regards
Madhu

Service Action and Set Field Scenario

2016-04-19 Thread Madhu V
Hi,

I am basically confused on the purpose of using Service action instead of usual 
Set field action.

Example, while I type something on Assignee field and hit 'Enter' (i.e return 
action), there are some active links written with service action to get the 
other details of Assignee. I have understood Service action triggers the 
filters who fire on Service Execution options and the behind logic is to get 
the other details through these filters. My question is instead of Service 
action, Set field action could have been used to get these Data. What is the 
purpose of using Service action here??

Can you please make me understand this ??

Authentication Strings in WSDL as Secure Strings

2016-02-18 Thread Madhu V
Hi,
 
We have an integration of BMC Remedy 8.1v with an home grown .Net Application 
through Webservices. The third party application has found Vulnerability in the 
WSDL and have recommended us to make the Password as an SecureString. The WSDL 
generates the Authentication string (Username/Password) automatically and he 
developers will not have any control over this. Is there any option to make 
these Authentication strings are SecureStrings.

Records with Group ID '-1' in AR System Current License Usage Form.

2016-02-03 Thread Madhu V
Hi,
 
In the AR system Current License Usage Form there are few users assigned with 
Group ID '-1'.
 
There is no group exists in the group form with this Group ID. We actually have 
floating licenses distributed with License Pools and users are usually been 
listed with License Pool Group IDs.  Can any one please explain me why there 
are records with Group ID '-1'

Re: Records with Group ID '-1' in AR System Current License Usage Form.

2016-02-03 Thread Madhu V
Hi ,

Thanks for your response.

There is a role called CMDB RE User with Group ID -1. But as for our 
application is concerned CMDB part is not being used and the users who are 
assigned with this group ID -1 are not CMDB system users (like , AR Escalator). 
We can notice some around 20+ users are been assigned with Group ID -1 in the 
form.

@Durga , We do not have such unassigned Licenses. All the licenses are being 
distributed to the license Pools already.

Frequent Session is invalid or timed out- ARERR (9201) issues to Users.

2016-01-31 Thread Madhu V
Hi,

Users are facing frequent session timeout issues i.e ARERR (9201) - Session is 
invalid or timed out in our Remedy Application. The issue is randomly occurring 
across all the geographies of our Organization.

Few Details:

> We are in ARS , ITSM 8.1 SP1 version. 
Midtier Version : 8.1.SP02 Patch 001 201511101452 Hotfix

> We have 8 mid-tier servers and 8 application servers (server Group 
> environment).

> Mid-tier servers and AR Servers are both load balanced (F5 Load Balancer).

> The Load Balancer which exists between the client and mid-tier servers (LB 1) 
> has a Cookie based persistence with no sticky session timeout set.

> The Load Balancer which exists between Mid-Tier Servers and AR Server (LB 2 ) 
> has no persistence type set as per the initial recommendations.

> From the Fiddler Logs captured from the affected Users, we found out that the 
> LB 1 (between client and Mid-Tier Servers) switches the users to multiple

> We have checked with our LB team along with our findings from the fiddler

Can someone please suggest, whether the currently set configurations at Load 
balancer end are fine ?

Do we need to recommend anything to Load Balancer team? 

Please help.

2016-01-31 Thread Madhu V
Hi Rob,


Currently the Web facing Load Balancer is not having any session time out set 
and it is having persistence of type Cookie based. We are aware that if the 
Load Balancer has set any time out value it will be in seconds and should have 
greater value than the value set at Mid-Tier config page which is currently set 
as 20 minutes. 

Could you please tell us, whether do we need to set any sticky session value at 
this Web facing Load Balancer ?

Re: Impact of Removing the defined OTB indexes from a form

Recently while troubleshooting performance issues on our Production system,
our DBA team has identified some unused indexes on T2356 (HPD:Help Desk

 Well - if it is a unique index - you will make swiss cheese of your system.

 I would suggest - don’t delete the index.

 I will ask you a question in return:

 What benefits do you see in removing an OTB index?

 Hello Madhu,

 Please check the below given BMC published KA link regarding info on DB
 Replication.

 *Knowledge Article ID:*  KA317702


 https://kb.bmc.com/infocenter/index?page=contentid=KA317702actp=searchviewlocale=en_USsearchid=1429027171548

 Also you will find below note in DB reference guide published for ARS
 7.6.04

 NOTE
 In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, when the underlying database table is marked
 for
 database replication, you cannot change the field length. If you try to do
 so, the
 ALTER TABLE command returns this error: Cannot rename the table because
 it is published for replication. (SQL Server 15051). To resolve this,
 turn off database replication, change the field size, and then turn
 database
 replication on. For more information, see the Microsoft SQL Server
 documentation.

 https://kb.bmc.com/infocenter/index?page=contentid=KA371443actp=searchviewlocale=en_USsearchid=1429027171548

 This will help you to understand the issues/errors which are faced when
 the replication is ON

 Thanks.
