Re: Application Tab Won't Fly back In

2014-04-30 Thread Trez Moreland
We had the same problem in SP4 before the fix was available.  So we added an 
Active Link to the AL Guide SHR:LHP:FormOpen to activate on selection of 
item/Application from the flyout App List and hide the flyout.  Glad they've 
applied a fix!

Architecture for ARS 7.6.04 ITSM7.6.04 - 32bit vs 64bit OS

2012-11-19 Thread Trez Moreland -DoIT-
Hi all:


I have a question about 32bit v. 64bit OS in a 3-tier architecture for ARS
7.6.04  ITSM 7.6.04 (Asset Management only).3


Our current PRD environment is an ARS 7.6.04 SP2 on a Win2003Server 32bit
OS with a SQL Server 2005 DB.  DB, Application, and Mid-Tier all on one
server for a small environment with no approximately 50 concurrent users.
 Our service ticketing application is 100% custom built.


I have installed a development ennvironment ARS, CMDB, and ITSM (Asset
Only) 7.6.04 SP3 on a single Win2008 32 bit server to to learn the ITSM
Administration and Asset Management Admin  User functionality - all seems
to be working OK with only a few minor glitches.


We're currently planning a PRD implementation involving a three-tier
architecture with separate for DB (SQL2008 64bit), Application, and
Midtier.  Our Server Team is wondering if we can make do with a single
Win2012 64-bit OS for the DB and two Win 2008 32 bit servers for Mid-Tier
and Application functions.


Not being a networking or OS expert, (just a lonely applicaiton admin) my
initial understanding of the differences in the two OS's leads me to
believe I should be making a case for a homogeneous server architecture.  I
think that any performance enhancements resluting from movement to a 64-bit
OS on the DB Server would be nullified by the slower performance of a 32bit
Mid-Tier server.   And, I would think the larger file and app sizes
associated with the CMDB and the Mid-Tier processing should realize greater
processing improvements in a 64bit environment.   It may be that in a small
environment such as ours, the differences would not be so great.  But I
could use some assistance getting my head around the concepts so I can make
the appropriate recommendations.


Any feedback on these considerations?

Regards,
Trez

2012-08-16 Thread Trez Moreland
I recently had that problem ... I had to install ARS 7.6.04 SP2 then CMDB 
7.6.04 SP2 then ITSM 7.6.04 SP2 then upgrade ARS to SP3.
You may have to do the same.

Re: Crystal Reports Options

Hi:

We've been using MS SSRS for several years now without incident for the same 
reasons as Andrew.

We use Microsoft SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) - you develop
reports in MS Visual Studio using the business intelligence module (a
component of MS SQL Management studio) and publish to the SSRS web site
for users to subscribe and export data into various formats.

This was the cheapest option for us since we already owned SSRS and had
the report developer skills to do so - however this option requires more
SQL knowledge and remedy db schema experience.

ITSM 7.6.4

Looking for input on using a Crystal Reports Server instead of SAP
BusinessObjects Enterprise (BOXI).

What we really want is just the ability to view a Crytal report in the
midtier. Both products have a ton more functionalty than we will ever
use but CRS appears to be the smaller (cheaper) of the two products.

Are there any other alternatives?

TIA

Frank.

Re: Blocking Users from PRD Server for Testing After Upgrade

2011-09-22 Thread Trez Moreland
Thanks Ken  LJ!  

I should be able to use the workflow method pretty quickly (have a PRD upgrade 
coming up next week) and start planning to possible work with LJ's suggestion 
in the future!  It seems no matter how much I've planned and instructed users 
in the past there's always some bonehead who'd making updates immediately 
following a PRD upgrade but before testing is completed ... I'd just like to 
have better control this time.

Thanks again - You guys rock!

Re: Blocking Users from PRD Server for Testing After Upgrade

2011-09-21 Thread Trez Moreland
Thanks Ken  Frederick for the quick reply.  Good ideas!

I have a fairly small test group about (8 testers) - problem is - some of my 
user base authenticates via LDAP and a smaller # (about 25) use Remedy 
authentication w/password management.   Someone suggested using a combination 
approach.  The suggestion was that I consider exporting user data for those who 
authenticate via Remedy (user name  password ), turn off LDAP completely, 
delete password for Remedy authenticaters, assign testers passwords in User 
form, complete testing, then import the passwords back into the User form.  
Worst case would be about 20 users could potentially have to change their 
passwords ... Makes me a little nervous though.  

Any thoughts?

Blocking Users from PRD Server for Testing After Upgrade

2011-09-20 Thread Trez Moreland
Hi All:

ARS 7.1 
SQL2005 
Win2003 on VMWare Virtual Environment

We’re doing a PRD upgrade next week (ARS 7.1 to 7.6.04 SP1) and we’d like to 
block users from connecting while we perform some testing of custom apps.  
Problem is – we can’t leave the AR Server in Admin mode because we need users 
from specific Assignee Groups to perform the tests.  

I’m throwing the question at our network and security admins – but thought I’d 
ask the ARSLIST group the question first.  Any insight into the best way to 
blocks all but a specific group of test users?

Thanks,
Trez Moreland
