also.. not sure what form you are trying to do this is on, but in ITSM:INC you 
have 'Prod Name' and 'Resolution Prod Name'.In ITSM:CHG you have 
'z1D_Status' as well as 'Status'
my Dev Studio keeps crashing so I can check the exact names..

Lastly, is it not ideal to do this with a filter instead?

Stupid Rookie Question Time.

I have an active link that fires on Modify.

The qualification is:

('Product Name' = $NULL$) AND ('Status' = "Completed")

Or

('Status' = "Completed") AND ('Product Name' = $NULL$)

Send an error message so that the product name will get filled in.

The error comes up even after the product name has been filled in.  It did not 
matter which way I set my qualification.  I have done this kind of AL many 
times and never had this kind of problem...

Any suggestions?

Re: Simple PD process

2015-11-09 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Hi Raj,
ARS/ITSM/PD 9.0

I tried to submit various screenshots through here but was unable to. I'll 
describe the process since it is simple.

I have an SRD that requires manager approval. After approved, and email should 
go out to a static email address with just the requester's userID.  Then, the 
SR should close (we don't need a fulfillment request such as WO or INC).
That's it..

Thanks,
Marcelo

Subject: Simple PD process

**
Hello List,
I have a simple PD issue.  I'll preface my email with "this is the first 
process I've created with PD"

What I'm trying to do is create a simple process that, after approval, it sends 
an email, then closes the request. No need for a WO, CHG, or INC.. just send 
the email and close the Service Request.

The first process was very simple; with only 2 tasks:
I have an initiation task that captures some data. This task has "Set field" 
actions.
The next task as 2 actions: one for send email and one for "update request".
(the request gets approved by the requester's manager - per the SRD - which has 
an 'Approval Type" = "Manager"

This works great, except that the request isn't closed after the email is sent. 
(although now after playing with the pre and post statuses, the approval 
doesn't happen).



The second process I tried was:

1.  Initiation task (captures data)
2.  Task #2 gets supervisors name based on data captured
3.  Decision task (supervisor approval)
4.  Rejected action
5.  Approved: send email
6.  Close service request

The process stops at the supervisor approval task. So there must be a problem 
here.



I've also tried using 3 tasks but the request hangs at "send email" task.


Having never used this tool; I have some questions. Can you use SRM approvals 
and PD process, for SRDs? Or the approval has to be done via the PD process? If 
so, what are the steps to configure approvals via PD.
Thanks in advance,
Marcelo

SRDs to map to printers

2015-06-24 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Hello Iron Developers,
Has anyone created SRDs to map to printers?

For example, a new employee comes onboard and needs to map to a couple printers 
on his/her floor. The SRD would ask a series of questions to find out what 
printer they want to map to (i.e.: building\floor\printer), this will in turn 
display details of that printer,  then on submit would map to that printer.. 
similar to using startrun\\printservername\printerqueue

*All printers use the same \\printservername..

The twist: we are in a development freeze. So, I can only use what's in the 
mystery basket :), which is ITSM - SRM/INC/CHG/SLM/EE etc..  nothing custom.

Thoughts??

MM

It is a two step procedure that you should be able to do with AI. First create 
the Change then have the AI process query the file with the list of CIs to 
create the Change association records by validating the CI exist in the CMDB 
and pulling the field value, I think it is the recon ID to create the

Hello all,

we are trying to automate the creation of monthly server patching thru a script 
via SCCM. the script is working and the changes are getting created. for this 
integration we used email to Remedy to form CHG:ChangeInterface_Create.

the issue we face is that only one CI can be passed to this form when the 
change is created. we are trying to pass several hundred CIs all at one. Using 
a template is not an option as the list of CIs may change from month to month.

I don’t see the workflow in Dev Studio to handle this.. just want to confirm. 
also, what other options are there to explore? I've seen web services, but 
that’s for the same form CHG:ChangeInterface_Create

incident template will be consumed by the “Rule Base Email Engine” to create an

have a tab for tasks… huh? Shouldn’t it have a tab for tasks??

Ideally I would of liked for the RBE to create 3 incidents from one email. But

create an SRM request that was tied to a PDT that created 3 incidents.. would 
be perfect. ☺

Thank you - maybe that's why I could find info on the PROMPT option.

I'm having a tough time testing my options. There seems to be a lag between 
when I modify workflow and when the workflow actually behaves differently. This 
is after I clear MT cache AND even after restarting Tomcat.  This is an RoD 
environment (not sure it plays a part). Not sure what is causing the lag

Thanks again

Approval Process notifications

2014-11-21 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Happy Friday ARSList,

ITSM/SRM 8.1
I have been asked to disable the approval request email that goes out to our 
executive team from SRM.  Our SRM currently uses 2 approval processes, one is 
OOB Service Request - Management Chain and the other is a custom approval 
process used with 2 specific SRDs.
The Management Chain approval process is the one most used. At a high level, it 
sends an approval request to that person's manager. The manager 
approves/rejects and the SRD creates an incident/or closes the SR.  Now, I have 
to disable the approval request email only when it goes out to our executive 
team (let's say this is about 8-10 people) - but only for this particular 
process (SR - Management Chain). No problem I think, go into the AP Admin 
console, search for the process, open the Notification tab, and exclude the 
UserIDs in the Qualification line. No go.
I open Dev Studio and see that AP:Notify-...xxx filter gets updated, but in 
the filter log, all the AP:Notify filters are skipped. Not sure why.
So, I have a working OOB approval process and a custom approval that are both 
working fine. I just need to disable the approval email request for the OOB 
process for a group of people.
I've been looking thru the ARS Admin guide but no luck.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Marcelo

ticket. ..

Well, when set to resolved, a timer initiates that will cause the system to 
automatically close the ticket after a number of days that you can configure 
(5, 10, 15, whatever # of days).

In the meantime, the customer is sent a notification that the ticket is 
resolved and they should confirm the resolution. You can even add to the 
notification that the ticket will auto-close in x days to *remind* the 
customer.

If they DO contact you within the time period and say the problem persists, 
then you can re-open from resolved (as it hasn't auto-closed yet).

If they do not recontact you within the time period, the system automatically 
closes the ticket and you don't have resolved tickets sitting around forever.

If they contact you after the resolved time limit expired and the ticket was 
auto-closed, then they *truly* need to open a new ticket. This should not be an 
issue as the new ticket can be related to the original and/or even *created* 
from the original.

All of the above is available OUT OF THE BOX without any 
Dev-Studio/Development customization required, in the current version of Remedy 
ITSM.

The alternative is that you have tickets sitting around in a resolved state 
potentially forever, forgotten and buried wy down in the results lists of 
years gone by.

Besides, if there are more than x days between occurrences with no issues in 
between, is it truly the same incident or a (wholly separate, or recurring, or 
related) incident? Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't... I'm not sure of your 
situation...

At some point, the business should be able to declare a ticket closed. Period. 
Fini. Done. I see no compelling business reason to re-open a closed ticket 
when you can leave them in resolved with ample opportunity for the customer 
to confirm and re-open within a *reasonable* amount of time.

So, given all of the above, can you share the reason why your customer *must* 
be allowed to re-open a closed ticket?

Thanks!

I believe that you must open a new ticket and related it to the closed ticket. 
That helps build a history and provides impetus to possibly create a Problem

I assume that you plan on re-opening the ticket by exporting to an ARX file, 
massaging the data and importing back into the system but I can’t tell you what 
side-effects that might cause.

For a start, if the image has the border, you probably want

Re: Add Search Task to landing Console Application List

This was posted yesterday:: Should help you get there


Subject: Re: Make Hidden or Disable some elements of the Application List Menu


These entry points are Activelink Guides and can be seen in Developer Studio. 
 Just search for names containing entrypoint and you'll get most of the 
standard ones.  The form to which the entry point leads is typically the 
Primary Form for the guide.



Disabling these should remove the entry point for all users.



On the other hand, you could also overlay the ALG and add permissions so that 
only Administrators can see them.  Then, they would be invisible for the bulk 
of users, but I'm not sure if that situation applies for your organization.

Re: Table Column Data Alignment issue

2014-01-28 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Have you tried to reset the preferences on the table after making your changes?

I've seen this with other tables in ITSM, but it hasn't bother me enough to 
persue it.
As a workaround, have you tried to add spaces to the text in the header to make 
the column width a bit wider, thus giving more space between the values in the 
rows.

Hi all,

I have several (list type) tables that contain columns that contain integer 
values.  As stated in the documentation, these default to being right-aligned.  
However, when there is any left-aligned value in the column immediately to the 
right, the data becomes nearly unreadable.  This is especially true if that 
left-aligned data itself displays numerically (e.g. timestamps).

I've tried setting the Data Alignment property for these columns to both Left 
and Center, but it seems to have no effect - the numeric data remains 
right-aligned.

Am I missing something?  Is there something else I need to do to affect the 
alignment adjustment?

Note that just for kicks I tried setting the alignment of a character type 
column (which defaults to left) to right-alignment, but this also has no 
effect.  So the problem I'm having is not restricted to integer columns.

On the other hand, changing the alignment of the headers seems to work just 
fine.

Re: HPD:INC:NTCustConfirm_851_SetTag in ITSM 8.1

2014-01-16 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Under Incident Rules, there is an option to set Create Request on Submit. Try 
selecting No to see if that meets the criteria of the filter in question.

We are new to SRM (8.1), but we found out that when an support agent updates 
the work info of a ticket and marks it public, it is supposed to mark the SR as 
needs attention for the customer to see, this is not happening.
Also, annoying ARWARN message when updating items in your cart. The message is 
something about completion date must be later than the expected date.



In Change Mgmt module 8.1

1. When a change is rejected, the Change Manager is not notified, but the 
Change Coordinator is. Check filter CHG:CRQ:NotifyOnRejectApproval-CA__o

2. They've done some funky stuff with risk calculations also.. for us at 
least, broke how derived risk factors are taken into account into change risk 
ranking.

3. On the CRQ:Infrastructure Change form, the approval table seems to have 
a mind of its own and displays (or not), what it wishes.


We've been running ITSM 8.1 for a few months now. In my opinion, the new 
features are nice, although runs slower than 7.6.04.


Good luck

**
Good morning,

I think we've identified our first defect with ITSM 8.1 in our user testing 
phase.  It looks like the filter above isn't firing, so the customers are not 
being notified.  The cause appears to be the Run If portion.  Here's what we 
see in 8.1:

('Status'  Resolved) AND ('z1D Char01' != $NULL$) AND ('SRInstanceID' = 
NA) AND ('Created_From_flag' != Request) AND ('SRID' = $NULL$) AND 
(('Flag_Create_Request' = No) OR ('Flag_Create_Request' = $NULL$))

Here's the Run If in 7.6.4:

('Status'  Resolved) AND ('z1D Char01' != $NULL$) AND ('SRInstanceID' = 
NA) AND ('Created_From_flag' != Request) AND ('SRID' = $NULL$)

That extra stuff with the 'Flag_Create_Request' field seems to be the problem, 
but I don't really know what that is used for.  Has anyone else run into this, 
and if so, what is the solution?  My testing fix was to create an overlay and 
set the Run If to be the same as 7.6.4.  If it also helps, we have SRM which 
probably has some bearing on the ITSM notifications that go out.

Thanks,

I can't open the RBE:Rule form in New Mode via Internet Exploder, therefore I

the log isn't capturing anything.  Any help appreciated.

Question for you all.

Is there a way I can set something up to say... go into a work log (diary 
field) and search for a word or phrase and then spit out a report?

Re: RemedyOnDemand

2013-11-04 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
RoD customers are assigned a BMC Customer Success Manager. They should meet 
regularly (if not once a month) with their customers.  that said, your customer 
should know who their CSM is.  The CSM should be able to fetch this info for 
you. Additionally, BMC tracks all custom changes as they need to go thru their 
CAB meetings/process. Therefore, you may be able to find what has been done by 
looking at closed support cases for your customer.

If BMC customized before go-live of RoD, then they should have provided your 
customer with such documentation. The go-live docs I've seen from BMC do not 
include the level of detail you are searching for.  If it was a partner, then 
yes, they do provide you with such details.

Good luck,

Marcelo Martinez

BMC did some automation for the Customer and there is no documentation.  
Instead of rebuilding the workflow - it would be good to see the changes BMC 
made.  Started reviewing the filters, AL, etc...
The Manager only knows the Account person.  The Manager stated each time she 
speaks with BMC regarding the technical changes - she speaks with different 
people.

Hi Kathy,

What workflow changes you are exactly referring to. If it is the customization 
done by BMC professional services then yes all documentations are handed over.

In ROD customers initiate the customizations they want to do and hire BMC 
partners or BMC PS to do that.

If any customization is introduced by BMC as an additional functionality or 
offering over and above standard product, customer is informed about the 
details and functionality but solution design may not be provided for that.

Aditya

When BMC makes custom code changes for a Customer, do they provide 
documentation of the changes made to the system? (i.e. workflow)

Hi,

ARS 8.1/Atrium 8.1/ITSM 8.1

When creating a CRQ, when I review the approvals that are generated (CRQWork 
Detail tabApprover table field), I find an approver present that shouldn't be.

That is, there are numerous approvers at specific phases that should be there 
(and there are APR:Approver Lookup mappings to support them), but there is one 
approver that shouldn't be there.  I've searched the mappings for that 
approver, but none support the change class or approval phase for this 
particular CRQ.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,

Rick

Also check for AR System Email Messages.

Do a search for outgoing messages that may contain an error, or, that has Send 
Message = Yes.

You may also want to search for sent emails.. perhaps the ones you are looking 
for have been sent but the config of the mailbox is no longer valid?? Double 
check the mailboxes configurations

Hi,



Check your email Engine Logs, and check that Email Engine is running.



If all else fails, I usually create a debug version of Email Engine that I run 
from the command line to see what actually happens. How to do this is detailed 
in the Email Engine PDF.



You basically copy the startup script of today to an 
emailstartdebug.bat/emailddebug.sh version, and then add a -Dmail.debug=true to 
the startup.



Then run the debug script from the command line.



Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se



 I have Remedy user 7.6/Developer 8.



 I set up several filters for notifications when a ticket is created,

 closed, or reassigned. They all have been working fine until here

 recently. I had the guys that work on the server to reset the remedy -

 mail exchange server. He said nothing seemed wrong with it. Usually

 when they do reset the server when receive all of our notifications 
 immediately afterwards.



 I tested my notification by setting a filter to set field in our

 transaction diary to capture when a ticket was opened. I created a

 ticket and bam...it fired off correct according to the transaction

 diary but I still didn't receive the notification through email that

 the ticket was created. Any ideas???

One of the things about Oracle with 3999 varchar is that you have to make sure 
it is resolving as BYTES rather than CHAR.  The type of behavior you are 
describing can happen when the distinction is not made in Oracle by your DBA.  
There may be other issues like the field length in the staging form, or 
intermediary out-of-the-box workflow that triggers before the workflow that 
pushes the value to the appropriate staging forms.  But have your Oracle DBA 
check the following parameter:

NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=BYTE

It is often set to CHAR, which would be a mistake and it can cause corruptive 
data issues.  Hopefully that isn't the case, but if it is, have him/her change 
it to BYTE as soon as possible.

Good luck!

Hi everyone,
We've started receiving incoming emails from a customer.  The email engine 
retrieves them and I see the full message in the AR Email Messages form.  The 
template in the email contains the form (staging form) that the message should 
populate.  And it does populate the staging form, mostly.
The description field does not populate completely in the staging form.  It 
does in the Messages form.  If there is a 'return' in the description, in the 
staging form no data appears after the 'return'.
I have a support ticket in but no solution in the last week.  I've suggested to 
the customer to use br in their tickets that are populating the template that 
comes to us but it was not received well.  We do plan on testing that Tuesday.
We have been receiving automated incoming tickets from some internal systems 
for years but those all have single line descriptions so there is no 'return' 
to deal with, so I don't know if it was working the same on v7.5.
The field itself is a 4000 char field.  Nothing else special about it.  Full 
permissions for anyone to write.  The user that is contained in the template 
has full basic permissions, fixed license.
I take the info in the staging form record, create a HT retrieving additional 
information from a Site record to make a complete HT record.  Since the staging 
form record doesn't have the full description there's no opportunity to try and 
manipulate the 'returns' with workflow.
It's almost as if the email engine itself is truncating the contents.
Has anyone seen this also?  What was the solution?  Any help would be 
appreciated.

For fields that can contain a return character I think you need to use a

Tour template would have
! Short Description!: [$$ some text return character
Some more text. $$]
The information between [$$ $$] gets submitted to the specified field returns, 
new lines and all.

Tauf, sorry, I should have explained in more detail.

In the past, we've used the format below to send auto generated emails (from 
SQL, Lotus Notes, etc.) to Remedy and create incidents. Is the ID needed? Maybe 
not... that's just how we've used it in the past.
What I am looking into is the same functionality but for Changes.  SCCM will 
send an email to Remedy and create a change request. what I don't know is how 
will the workflow handle associating CIs.. 300-400 CIs to one change.  Could we 
use other methods? Possibly, but wanted to test this one for now.

Claire et al,

Sorry, I should have mentioned this sooner. The truth is that I have actually 
been in fascinating breakout sessions since this morning, and this is the first 
time I have slowed down a little! Let me put on my reporter hat.

The big news from BMC is that the next BMC User Event will be held the week 
of October 13, 2014, at The Swan and Dolphin resort in Orlando, Florida. 
Details, such as the scope and focus of the meeting, are still in the planning 
stages. The announcement was made at WWRUG13 by BMC CEO Bob Beauchamp during 
the opening Keynote presentation.

We probably should defer to BMC for announcements about content, audience, 
themes, subject matter and all the other creative things that happen at a 
conference like this, but should you hear of anything before me, please pass it 
along! I'll do the same :-)

That's the big news for a year from now, and a lot will happen just this week 
alone at WWRUG. And now back to this year's conference Networking session 
with ample lubrication starts in an hour or so

Subject: Regarding Risk in Change Management 7.0.3

Here's a little gem I found in my collection of docs that has to do with Risk 
and how it is calculated and derived in CHM 7.0.3. Enjoy the read everyone!:

*   In the Derived Risk Factors Template for the Risk Factor Type option 
Derived Rating  there are 5 choices available in the Field Name list (Change 
Assignee, Change Implementer, Change Manager, Operational CTI, Support Group 
Name) and for Risk Factor Type option Derived there is 1 choice available (CI 
Priority).
*   On the Infrastructure Change form, Risk Level and the Risk Info button 
will be hidden when the change record has a status value of Implementation in 
Progress or later.
*   On the Infrastructure Change form, the View Risk Report navigation item 
will be hidden on New and Search windows
*   Risk Level 1 is the low value and Risk Level 5 the high value, to use 
the computed value of risk set the Risk Level field to NULL and save the change 
record.
*   Risk Weight contains % values of (20/40/60/80/100).
*   The formula for computing risk is as follows:  if RF1, RF2 and RF3 are 
the risk levels of three risk factors associated with the change, and if w1, w2 
and w3 are the respective weightings for the risk levels, total risk (Risk 
Level) is computed using the following formula:
RF1*w1 + RF2*w2 + RF3*w3
---
w1 + w2 + w3

This version of the formula is used rather than just taking the % weightings 
alone since the sum of the weights is not required to be 100. This formula 
ensures that each risk factor contributes the specified fraction (weight) to 
the overall Risk Level.

Note that if only a single risk factor is associated with the change, its 
effective weighting is 100% regardless of its actual specified weight.

*   High performance rating corresponds to a low risk value and vice versa. 
 In other words, if a Change Manager had a performance rating of 5 (highest) 
and weighted at 100%, the Risk Level corresponding to this rating is Risk Level 
1 (lowest risk).
*   The performance rating given to a change request is used for 
computations starting only when the next change request is submitted.  The 
performance rating given to a change request does not affect its own Risk Level.
*   Certain updates to child records will be rolled back if closing without 
saving. In Risk Determine, if child template entries are created (via Add) or 
deleted (via Delete), closing the Risk Determine entry without saving will 
restore the entry to its prior state.  Any modifications made to child entries 
opened via the View button will not be rolled back.  This includes setting the 
status of a child entry to Delete, which will cause it to be immediately 
deleted.
*   A similar mechanism has been implemented for Risk Factors Template and 
Answer Choices (risk menu items). Additions and Deletions can be rolled back.
*   Risk Factors Template has a Menu Sequence field in the Answer Choices 
section.  Menu items in the Risk Questions dialog will be sorted on this field.
*   The button Add/Modify in Risk Factors Template allows the Answer 
Choice entry selected in the table to be modified in place.  Risk Value and 
Menu Sequence can be modified in-place.  Modifying Menu Label will add a new 
menu entry.  To actually modify the label, the entry will need to deleted and 
re-created.
*   Question Sequence and Menu Sequence fields are automatically set to the 
next applicable integer when the Question Template form is opened.

Not sure I fully understood your requirements.. but this may help

123 = groupID of your Service Desk


Start when: ('Status' = New AND $\GROUPS$ LIKE %123%) OR ('Status' = 
New AND ‘Assigned Group' = Service Desk/Operations)
Stop When: ('Status' = In Progress) OR ('Status History.In Progress.TIME' !=

I want to track performance for the Incident and the Service Desk. The Service

willing to change any of the Statements as long as I can measure that time and 
execute alerts when that does not happen to the Service Desk Manager. I welcome

Normally the Start When would greater than or equal to assigned. Also whay are 
you including the Service Desk, do you want to track them or the Incident? The 
same question for you second qualification why are you only tracking a group 
and not the Incident.


There are two ways to track an Incident OOTB, Response and Resolution. You need 
to determine if the response is for the Service Desk. THe most important answer 
is that by making the changes I am suggesting will allow the SLM to work and 
the other information you are trying to control will be repotable.

Admittedly I am new to working with the backend of Remedy. Started using the 
product in 1993 but recently I fired up the SLM Module (Version 7.5). I have 
been able to get Business time to work and have actual SLA and OLA commitments 
working. I have looked at the SLM Dashboard and it now seems to be working. 
This is all in a Development environment. Email alerts take place as intended 
and overall I am pleased with the results. But now the bad news, it seems that 
when the Service Desk or other support group do a direct assignment to another 
support group that the OLC or SLC measurements become detached and the triggers 
do not fire off saying the condition has been met. Only when status changes do 
the correct triggers fire. Admittedly I am a rookie in this space and probably 
have mucked things up but I sure would appreciate some guidance in what is 
wrong. Here is how I have configured the measurements (This all relates to the 
Service Desk:

Start When: Assigned Group' = Service Desk/OperationsAND 'Status' = 
Assigned – By default the Incident record goes to the Service Desk but their 
process is to assign directly to another group if they know who it is. When 
they assign directly the SLC “Detaches. When it is reassigned to them the 
trigger starts again. If the Service Desk acknowledges the Incident by changing 
the status from assign to another status and saves the Incident the SLC is “Met.

Stop When: 'Status' = PendingOR 'Status' = In ProgressOR 'Status' = 
ClosedOR 'Status' = ResolvedOR'Assigned Group' != Service Desk/Operations 
– the trigger works for the status change but will not work for when the 
Assigned Group is not the Service Desk.

What did I miss here – I really do not have anyone who knows Remedy at my 
company so I am looking for other resources.

Thanks for any help you can give – I know I have made a bone head mistake 
somewhere. I did read the manuals though.

Hello Listers,
I am wondering if there is any functionality in Remedy that can flag (or send

I'll try to elaborate a little. We have well established monthly maintenance 
windows in change management. These windows are expected to be used when system 
outages are eminent. We have heavily communicated these windows to our end user 
community. Now, this does not prevent an IT team from performing changes 
outside of these windows IF they communicate to their end users about the 
outage. Occasionally, we will have a change request that conflicts with 
activities happening on the business side, get some push back and IT will have 
to postpone the change. the process is pretty is well established and accepted.

I've been asked by IT management if there is a way to flag certain timeframes 
in Remedy as cautionary so that changes to be scheduled during these 
timeframes are scrutinized more. For example month end closing or midyear 
budgetary review. I am wondering if the change calendar has any such 
functionality, or if time segments could be utilized (or ???). Basically what 
they want is check with business group X if performing changes with outages 
during this time period.  The business unit may or may not be OK with the 
requested changes. we don't currently have services defined, therefore we 
cannot tie changes to services for business approval - and we don't use 
business approvals; only approvals within IT dept.  ideas are welcomed.

When you go to the Home Page (Landing Console) if you have the Incident Console

And you set the application preferences to: Assigned To All My Groups
Nothing shows up when a person logs in.
Yet if you reselect the View by: they do show up.
Assigned to me seems to work fine.
Searching the net looks like others have had this issue to.

Does anyone know if there is already a defect for this or a fix for it?

Another issue we ran into was with the owner group. By default, our help desk 
owns all incidents. When they would try to view their tickets in the INC 
console, they would see ALL incidents, not just theirs.
just something else you may want to check in 8.1

we will be moving to 8.x next month - hopefully.

We had an issue like that Marcelo,

It was a while ago but I am pretty sure it was becasue of an issue with 
Application Preferences.  For the affected users go to Application Preferences 
- Incident Management tab, under the overview colsole section look at the Role 
field and see if it is set to Assignee. When the Show field is set to Assigned 
to My Selected Groups or Assigned to all my groups Assignee is not a valid 
entry. We changed it to Assigned Group for the users and it resolved the issue.

I'm currently looking at it in 8.1 and there still looks to be some issues in 
this area as the fields populate with an ID and not a name in some cases.

SLA behavior funk

2013-03-07 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Hello list,
ARS/ITSM 7.6.04
I have a case where OLAs are not behaving properly. In this case, an incident 
was submitted as a medium service request, but after review I changed it to a 
medium service restoration. When I did that, I would expect that the request 
OLAs would detach and the restoration OLAs would attach.  What I'm seeing is 
that only one of the request OLAs is being detached.  Additionally, I'm not 
used to seeing the Detached OLAs stick around..

I have configured 4 target groups. One for each: restoration response, 
restoration resolution, request response, request resolution.  Each contains 
Low, Medium, High, Critical service targets.



In ITSM 7.0.03, when an incident was changed from Medium to Low, the Medium 
targets would disappear and the Low targets would appear. Same goes for 
when the incident was changed from request to restoration.

There are 2 issues with the sample above. First is that the incident now 
appears to have missed a target when it did not. Second, is that since there 
are 3 OLAs attached to this incident it will skew reporting.

Thanks,
Marcelo Martinez

For those of you who were at WWRUG12, you heard Doug mention that he was going

The procedure was actually two operations. The minor one occurred and went fine.

The Major one is tomorrow, Thursday March 7th. Doug is already in Dallas 
undergoing tests (Medical, not Remedy certifications).

I would like to ask everyone to send Doug some collective good will, prayer to 
the deity of your choice, Karma, positive meditation,
bottles of Guinness. Actually I have promised him a keg of it ☺

He has also asked me to say the following:
“I just don't want to see the ARSList stray too far from the technical 
discussion on my account.”

So as the Founder and administrator of the ARSlist, I ask you to please phrase 
any posts to the list about this as a technical discussion, for example:
“Best wishes to Doug and hope his active links continue to fire running 
processes on the Server, how does one do that again?”.

I kid, humour is important, the operation is serious, but is expected to go 
well.
Doug went to Dallas because that is where the surgeon that did the first 
operation went,
and we do expect him to celebrate the success at WWRUG13 this year.

BMC Mobility for ITSM

2013-01-15 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Anyone know if BMC is looking to come out with an app for windows 8 
smartphones? My company may implement these as the corp standard and the 
question was asked. Support told me that there is currently no support for 
windows 8 phones.. just thought someone on the list may know more on this topic.
thx

SLM 7.6.04

2012-12-11 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Hello list,
In our old system (ARS7.1/ITSM7.0.03), we could easily identify which 
incidents breach one service target or both. SLM status was either Service 
Target Breached or All Service Targets Breached.

In 7.6.04, there is just Service Targets Breached.  There is no way of 
identifying which ones missed just one target unless you open each incident.

In our environment we have only 2 targets, response and resolution (one each 
for Low, Med, High, Critical). Very basic targets.. just based on Priority.

I need to provide a report of which incidents missed 1 target versus both 
targets. I've been looking at the SLM:Measurement form, but results are not 
consistent.

Any ideas? Thanks,
Marcelo Martinez

Thanks Shashidhar,
This is more what I was looking for. I've also noticed that there is missed 
as well as Missed goal, not sure why the difference.
Also, in some case there are more than 2 entries attached - ie. When a ticket 
is changed from low to medium. I remember in 7.0.03 I had to create an SLA 
group... this may still be the case.

Thanks,
Marcelo

** Hi Marcelo,

If I could answer to your question, There are two forms where you can find the 
type of SLA breach. For incidents its HPD:Help Desk_SLA and for change its 
CHG:Infrastructure Change_SLA. The fields in this form are hidden, you can do 
an advance search as per your requirement, can fetch the results. Create a 
report template so as to include these fields : SLM status, Measurement Status, 
Goal Char and Goal type. From these four fields it is possible to differentiate 
the Response and Resolution SLAs.

Note: Measurement Status will be 'Met' or 'Missed'. Two entries will be 
returned for a single ticket, one for Response and other for resolution.

Hope this helps you

Shashidhar

HPD:IncidentInterface_Create

2012-12-05 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Hello List,

We currently upgraded to 7.6.04. since then, some of our automated incident 
tickets are not being created correctly. The notes field is not bringing over 
all the text.

We have an EDI system that sends emails to ARS when an error occurs. the email 
is parsed by the HPD:IncidentInterface_Create form. The incidents are being 
created. However, the notes field does not contain all of the info being sent 
via the email.

Below is parts of the email that  EDI is sending. The details section contains 
multiple lines with returns and extra spaces, which I thought would cause the 
issue. The thing is.. this worked well in ARS7.1/ITSM7.0.03. I'm looking thru 
the BMC communities but haven't been able to find anything. Has anyone seen 
this behavior and have you been able to remedy it?

are emails listed that Send Message: Sent and Date Sent: a date.

Really don't want to turn off the email engine if I don't have to do so. What

I would be careful with modifying field 1 on the OOB stuff.  Validate that your

Group is blank.  Also, check your execution order on your workflow.  The other 
thing you want to make sure is that people do not have Unrestricted Access.  
This will give them access to pretty much everything.

Hello List,
I need your help. In our previous ARS 7.1/ITSM 7.0.03, I had an escalation that 
ran against the HPD:Help Desk form every few hours and looked for a specific 
support group assignment (ie. Assigned Group = HR Group). If the HR Group was 
the assigned support group, then it would do a set fields action and change 
fieldID 112 (Assignee Groups) to a particular group (ie 100300).  All 
members of the HR Group were part of the 100300 group; everyone else was 
not. This action allowed only members of the HR Group to be able to see 
incident tickets assigned to them.
If at any point the HR group reassigned the incident to any other team, a 
field, which fires on modify, would set fieldID 112 back to the original 
16 (group everyone is part of).

Now, we are moving to 7.6.04. I have created the 300 group and added members, 
escalation, and filter. But members NOT in the 300 group are still able to see 
incidents which have Assignee Groups = 100300.
My understanding is that EntryID (field ID 1) gets its permissions from 
Assignee Groups (field ID 112). I have verified my workflow and field ID 112 is 
being set correctly.
I have flushed cache and restarted ARS.. to no avail. I've read the docs and as 
I understand this should work. -As it did in 7.0.03.

Am I missing something here? Is 16 being set somewhere else? And is 
EntryID permissions any different than what they used to be?

Thanks and good weekend,

Marcelo Martinez

Re: Modifying Field 112

2012-11-19 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
The reason I used an escalation was for the very reason you mentioned. Users 
normally call the help desk will all issues (including HR). If the help desk 
enters a ticket and assigns it to the HR Group, they will get an error after 
submit because they no longer have permissions to the ticket. Not a very clean. 
But, I do like your idea of the 2 filters.
I have not noticed the escalation degrade the performance of the system. At 
least in my old 7.0.03 system... we will see in 7.6.04 once I get it working.

I have made field 112 visible, and have verified that only the HR Group ID # is 
displayed in the field - not the Op Company that the group belongs to.  Now I 
have not yet checked on the Vendor Assignee Groups.

Thank you Brian

Marcelo,

You need to validate what is actually stored in field 112.  Why are you using a 
escalation?  It seems that this would put an unnecessary load on the system and 
may not have your desired results.  I would setup a filter that fires on the 
save button, which will set Vendor Assignee Group to $NULL$ and Assignee Group 
to the Group ID of your Support Group.  You want to use the Support Group and 
not the Operating Company the Support Group belongs to.  I would set the 
execution order high.  There are multiple modifications when a ticket is saved 
and they will overwrite your workflow if the execution order is not set right.  
Keep in mind that Tasks and Worklog entries inherit the ticket permissions, so 
you want to make sure the right values are getting pushed there.  The only 
issue you might run into is if you have other groups open up tickets for your 
HR group.  By setting field 112 on the filter action you will need to also add 
the submitter to field 112 or errors will pop up for the user submitting the 
ticket.  You can setup another filter to remove the submitter, say once HR puts 
the ticket in progress.

16 (group everyone is part of).

Now, we are moving to 7.6.04. I have created the 300 group and added members, 
escalation, and filter. But members NOT in the 300 group are still able to see 
incidents which have Assignee Groups = 100300.
My understanding is that EntryID (field ID 1) gets its permissions from 
Assignee Groups (field ID 112). I have verified my workflow and field ID 112 is 
being set correctly.
I have flushed cache and restarted ARS.. to no avail. I've read the docs and as 
I understand this should work. -As it did in 7.0.03.

Am I missing something here? Is 16 being set somewhere else? And is 
EntryID permissions any different than what they used to be?

Thanks and good weekend,

Marcelo Martinez

Modifying Field 112

2012-11-16 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Hello List,
I need your help. In our previous ARS 7.1/ITSM 7.0.03, I had an escalation that 
ran against the HPD:Help Desk form every few hours and looked for a specific 
support group assignment (ie. Assigned Group = HR Group). If the HR Group was 
the assigned support group, then it would do a set fields action and change 
fieldID 112 (Assignee Groups) to a particular group (ie 100300).  All 
members of the HR Group were part of the 100300 group; everyone else was 
not. This action allowed only members of the HR Group to be able to see 
incident tickets assigned to them.
If at any point the HR group reassigned the incident to any other team, a 
field, which fires on modify, would set fieldID 112 back to the original 
16 (group everyone is part of).

Now, we are moving to 7.6.04. I have created the 300 group and added members, 
escalation, and filter. But members NOT in the 300 group are still able to see 
incidents which have Assignee Groups = 100300.
My understanding is that EntryID (field ID 1) gets its permissions from 
Assignee Groups (field ID 112). I have verified my workflow and field ID 112 is 
being set correctly.
I have flushed cache and restarted ARS.. to no avail. I've read the docs and as 
I understand this should work. -As it did in 7.0.03.

Am I missing something here? Is 16 being set somewhere else? And is

RBE - notify assignee of work info update from customer

2012-11-06 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Hello again List,

We have implemented Remedy's RBE engine; so far so good. I am looking into 
building a notification to the assignee when the work log is updated by the 
customer. In short, when the customer replies back to the email sent from 
within Remedy.
I've seen in the RBE that there is a 
actionnotifyassigneetrue/actionnotifyassignee action, but I don't know if 
that causes any action to happen. And if so, any workflow to fire.  The 
screenshot below shows the action. Is anyone successfully using this action? Or 
did you just create your own notification event?


Thanks

Comparing to the registration could be misleading since many people are

I just counted the number of votes again.
Using raw numbers of the number of registrations on the list,
1% voted. In other words, under 50 votes.

Let’s see if we beat that on comments about keeping it before you
get too excited about it returning.

The only reason I am ending it is because I think the level of voting reflects 
the level of interest;
and reflects that the arslist and participation in it is now for the most part 
taken for granted.

Activity on, and interest in, the actual list has not grown in the last couple 
of years, but certainly has not diminished either!

Keep Calm, Carry On.

As I told LJ and the others in our midnight on discussion:
IF there is a really big, and by big I mean say, 10% of the list,
That sends emails or creates a really long thread about continuing it,
I might be convinced to bring it back.

But with 2.5% voting, although they usually reach the right conclusion,
It says to me that the ARSlist is a commodity now and there isn’t that much 
interest in
The Award.

To Clarify and somewhat repeat what I said at the conference:

There is no longer a separate session for the ARSlist Awards, it is part of an 
opening session dedicated to all awards

The ARSlist carries on, and for now as “just an email list”

Doing some Awards related to the ARSlist carries on
The ARSlist MVP Award  is now retired
I will be doing the 20th Anniversary of the ARSlist next year.

Twinkies and Hawaii shirts have a life of their own.
I will be throwing a wrinkle into that next year as well ☺

We have the following:
1) Page to pager (command line run process)
2) Text Message to Cell Phone (email)
3) Email to Exchange email address

2 and 3 work and 1 does not.  It works if we do it by itself.

Any ideas?  Switch order?

Subject: Re: query help

Marcelo,

The key topic here is that you are saying the form is a VENDOR FORM.

Being a vendor form, the AR System passes the qualification criteria on to the
plugin code that was written.  That code is responsible for performing the
query and doing the processing.

So, the question is  Does that code have logic that supports the NOT
operation?

Is this a vendor form supplied by BMC or one that a partner has written, or one
that your company has written?

Once you determine that, then you know where to go to get the answer about
whether the code supports the NOT operation.

As you can see, the operation and the syntax does indeed work (all permutations
of the syntax as any parenthesis are extra in this simple query) when you are
going to a regular form.  That is because the NOT operation is fully supported
for regular and view forms by the AR System server.


What you will find in this situation (OK, I am only 99.9548694% sure that this
is what you will find) is that the code of the vendor form does not support
the NOT operation at all or is not doing something correctly for it in the
case of this query.

I hope this helps point things in the right direction,

Doug Mueller

attributes is 'physicalDeliveryOfficeName' , some users have the value in this 
field as ABC/123 or ABC or AAA-123\123.  On this field, I only want to extract 
what is to the left of the /. 
Therefore, I used the string:
SUBSTR($physicalDeliveryOfficeName$, 0, STRSTR($physicalDeliveryOfficeName$,  
/) - 1)

This query works fine, except when there is no / , then I don't get that 
record.

Thanks everyone.

Your example does work querying the incident form, etc. But does not work on my

'field1' is a character field... 

'field1' LIKE %/%   -- works and returns the expected results. But I want the

Norm,
The problem is that with 7.6.4, the age old representation of @ as server is
somehow changing to * in the definitions.  In the case of AL's with Direct
SQL actions, it is causing an issue.  The 7.6.4 Dev Studio (all versions
that I have tested) convert the reference to 'server' to *, and then fail to
work with the clientsthe fix we have found is to export to an XML,
change the * to an @, and re-import the workflow.  This 'fixes' the workflow
until someone else modifies the same workflow again with the Dev
Studio...the procedure must be done againbut an export of the workflow
and import into another server still works.

Subject: active link not working after import

Remedy 7.6.0.4, Oracle 11g

Using the midtier interface, a user performing any operation that uses and
active link generates an error - cannot establish a network connection to
the AR system server

This error occurs when an active link that executes a SQL programmed command
is altered.  It is inconvenient to have to re-construct many active links.
This error also occurs when one of these active links is exported from one
server to another (eg. from our dev to test server).  There are too many
types of these active links to manually adjust during a release.

As time goes on we are using this functionality more, so more of our code
will break without us knowing about it until someone tries to use the
portions of the program that use it.

In our setup ARS server, midtier and Oracle db are all on the same host.

What is causing this issue and how do I address it?

Re: Outgoing email address rejection list

Subject: Outgoing email address rejection list

**
Going out to the email gurus -

I need to pull out standard email notifications to certain email addresses.  I 
have created a rejection list form and put in filters that check the 'To' 
address of outgoing emails against this list.  The mechanism I have tried so 
far is to set the 'Send Message' field to No (0) and jumping to 999 to short 
circuit any other processing.  This workflow is running, 'Send Message' is set 
to 0, and no other workflow in the filter log touches the field after that, yet 
when I check the entry, 'Send Message' is set to Send (1).  Note I am on ARS 
7.1, patch 009.

Is there some background process associated with the Email Engine that is 
interfering?  Alternately, is there another mechanism I can use to prevent a 
message from being sent during the submit?  (Trying to catch it before then 
would be significantly more difficult, involving multiple sets of code.)

Re: Age old debate - categorizations

2011-09-22 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Rick,
I am interested in reading your whitepaper. I will go look for it.

We started (from BMC's recommendation) verb-noun-noun schema... then switched 
to noun-noun-verb (again per BMC's recommendation).  A few months ago @ one of 
the training sessions I attended, the recommendation (from BMC) was I want to 
  on my __.

I always wondered how BMC really intended the Tiers to work.. after all, they 
must have built the canned reports around a few of the category structures.. 
no? There must be a reason why Tier 1 is mandatory but not Tier 2 or 3...  many 
questions, that I never got an answer for.

BTW, ITSM 7.6.04 --- IMO, BMC has steered away from heavy use of the 
categorization, instead, they rely more on services, no?

Now to go look for that doc... (Thanks Rick!)

 This topic comes up every once and awhile on arslist. I talked to a few

 to see if we can have people submit 5 examples of operational categorization
 for Incident Management they use and why they chose the method. In the end
 we should end up with a pretty decent list that people can use when trying
 to define categorizations.



 Examples



 Incident - Application - Error

 Request - Password - Reset

 Request - Question - How-To

 Event - System - Approaching Threshold

 Inquiry - Suspicious Activity - Malicious Code



 I've used this approach to allow for reporting and setting business rules
 per ITIL process (incident, request, event, and security management). Tier
 2 is for the what under each process and lines up with an organizations
 services, technical areas, and key support areas. Tier 3 is a simplified
 explanation of the issue the user is calling about.



 I continually try to come up with different ways to simplify the
 categorization, so that it is useful to the business, but also easy enough
 for the Service Desk people to quickly chose the right categorization for
 the ticket. I really appreciate everyone's input and insight. I know this
 is always a burning issue for new Remedy admin/developers to seasoned.

ARERR [552] - SQL Error 402

2011-09-19 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Receiving the following error.
I'm trying to run an ad-hoc report in INC module and am receiving this error. 
The error is not specific to any field on the INC form I am trying to report on.



After I click OK,  I receive the following Warning


I am the assignee on the incident. I can modify the incident. I am INC Master.
My help desk agents and other IT users can run ad-hoc reports against this form.
This issues does not happen when I try to report from any other forms..
Has anyone seen this?

Issue may be isolated to my ID/my machine..

Thanks,

Looks like the issue only appears to happen when I try to ad-hoc report on an

the issue does not happen.

Re: 7.6.04 sp1 server specs

2011-07-21 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
I would also be interested to hear from others running production systems on 
VMs. My company is pushing hard for all new systems to be on VMs; but something 
about sharing resources and bandwidth I do not like.

I am running a 7.6.04 64bit POC setup on VMs and it is as fast as molasses 
(with a user load of 1).

I just upgraded my dev server to ITSM 7.6.04 sp1 on a VM box with 2

   We are running SQL 2008 on it's own server.

This setup is really slow so it concerns me what would happen if I move

I'm curious what others are using that are running a production version

Are you experiencing any response issues?  
What type of hardware setup are you using?

Re: Jumps in Incident ID numbers

2011-07-21 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Just an idea here.. What IF...

You create a custom form with some fields you'd like to capture. Then create 
workflow to fire when [TR.IncidentID*+ =! $NULL$ ] and have it populate those 
fields on your custom form. You could capture user / timestamp / etc fields..

I have not tried this - don't know if it would work

 Anything that tries to open a new ticket generates a new Incident ID, then if 
 the transaction is abandoned that ID is considered consumed and the Next ID 
 is incremented.  On ITSM 7.0 this occurred if you selected the Customer in 
 the ticketing form; in 7.6.04 it occurs when you open a new Incident (or 
 other) form, so the skipping of numbers will just get worse from here on 
 out.

 Subject: Jumps in Incident ID numbers

 Hi all,

 ITSM  server 7.6.03
 Linux 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5
 Oracle 11g

 I am opening a ticket with Remedy support on this, but was wondering
 if anyone had seen this before.  We are getting constant jumps in
 Incident ID numbers.  For example:

 (Last 3 tickets created less than 5 minutes apart)

 INC00029396
 INC00029399
 INC00029401

 This is constant, and sometimes the jumps between numbers is random,
 sometimes its 1, then 3, then 2, then 10, then 27, it bounces all over
 the place.

 Next Request ID Block size is set to 1 on the Configuration tab of the
 Server Information form.

 There is no Next Request ID Block size on:

 HPD:Help Desk
 HPD:CFG Ticket Num Generator

 Also, except for very minor customizations like a field name, or
 adding a field to the IM console, this is OOTB.

 Anyone seen this, or have any ideas?

 thanks!

Re: How to rollback the changes once we depolyed on the server?

2011-06-02 Thread Martinez, Marcelo A
Doesn't 7.1 migrator keep a copy of the original workflow prior to it being 
modified? Maybe migratory has some fall back capabilities.. 
But as patchsk said, usually you document every detail in your change ticket. 
and test, test, test.. so you won't have to back out. :)

There is no easy automatic way.
Incase of a mass release db restore is an ideal option.
But for small and medium releases it is not an ideal option.
Usually you create a change ticket per feature.
And document the workflow being touched on each change ticket and
attach the backup instructions with the code.
You can refer that during the rollback.
If you really  need to automate then you end up creating custom
scripts, I do not think not many people do that.

Subject: User Client 7.6.3  7.6.4sp1: Tabs, Tables,  Printing

Greetings list!

We are (still) upgrading from our 6.0.3 Remedy server to a brand new (Ok-
not that new...) 7.6.3 Remedy server. We encountered a new issue that I
can't figure out or find in the Archives (spent about 30 minutes, but not
really even sure what to look for).

This new issue that we found is that, when trying to print the record
details, if a Table field was displayed within a tab of a Page field and
refreshed to show its corresponding data, then the printout would repeat
the table over the upper left corner of the details, in addition to where
the table belongs under the tab. The only way around this (that we can find)
is to Print Preview first. The strange part is that it doesn't occur with
ALL tab/table combinations (and we can't figure out why).

For example, the form in question has 14 tabs (3 hidden). The first tab has
3 small tables, and various other tabs have between 1-4 tables. When Tabs 1
or 11 are selected and printed, they print just fine, everytime, without
fail. When any of the other tabs that have information are printed, they
print the double tables everytime without fail. I tried duplicating the
properties of both the tabs and the tables from those that work to those
that don't, but it has no effect. Using a development form, I tried to
recreate the conditions of the tables that work, but always failed (except 1
time, which I haven't been able to reproduce). It seems that it is only an
issue when there is a Tab/Table combination in play (we have many other
custom forms as well, without tabs, that have no issues what-so-ever).

We have even tried using 7.6.4 sp1 against our test server running the 7.6.3
server (as this combination resolved a number of other issues we were
having, like strange characters when copying/pasting, and an error that
occurs when a user chooses to accept the consequences of updating a record
after another user has since the last Get time). All results are the same-
we can't get rid of this ghost table image.

Any ideas?

Enviroment 1:
Remedy Server 6.0.3
Remedy Client 7.6.3

Enviroment 2:
Remedy Server 6.0.3
Remedy Client 7.6.4 sp1

Enviroment 3:
Remedy Server 7.6.3
Remedy Client 7.6.4 sp1

Thanks soo much in advance for any possible assistance!
