Hi, Requirement When user enters a value in a field in Remedy form and press Enter,pull matching records from an external system and display them in a table field. External System:Telecordia Granite/Oracle Additional information 1.The matching records can be many records(50-100) 2.Direct interaction with external system database is not supported. 3.Not required to store returned matching records in Remedy system. Proposed solution I proposed view form based solution,but the external team is not supporting it. Please help me if you know any other solution for this requirement.Thanks.

Re: Please help me
Hi Robin, Is there a specific reason for not supporting the View Form? You could use the APIs as Mahendra suggested, or you could create a stored procedure on your ARSystem database to pull the data into a temporary table and have a view form of that. Performance won't be a good as a View Form of the external table but if only 50-100 records then it may be acceptable.

Re: Please help me
Hi Robin, As per your requirement, I would suggest remedy Web Services. Case Study - 1. When user will hit enter on field, push entry record in one of the custom form lets say A 2. Write consume third party web service (Telecordia Granite/Oracle) on form A with the help of filter. 3. As Web service consume result - you can create single or multiple records in second staging form say B Please refer BMC Third Party Integration Guide for more details. 4. Create table field on form which will visible to end user i.e where end user hit enter. 5. Point table field to Form B and refresh it using same workflow. This is very convinient way in such requirement as stated above. I hope this will help you.

Re: Please help me
Hi, Anything using the C or Java API is supported from the servers standpoint. The .net-api is a wrapper around a supported API, so if your program manages to submit records, the submitted record will be a supported record. If the .net-api lacks functionality, which you would quickly find out. There is no guarantee that it will be added. There is also no guarantee of new versions. Old (current) versions of the API will work against newer servers. At least two major releases will work, but probably a lot more than two versions.

Re: Please help me
Robin, I would suggest to create a vendor form to fetch records from external source, you will have to write your own ardbc plugin (c or java and you must implement GetListEntryWithFields in plugin). Once vendor form is in place , write an active link that executes on enter and performs set field action. For active link set field action, read the data from this vendor form and select option to display list for multiple record match. regards Ranjit On Thu, 7/4/13, Robin Mathew robi...@rediffmail.com wrote: Subject: Please help me To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Date: Thursday, July 4, 2013, 2:04 PM Hi, Requirement When user enters a value in a field in Remedy form and press Enter,pull matching records from an external system and display them in a table field.

Issues with Filter processing infinite looping - Please help!
Hi Everyone, I have been asked to implement a feature that has me stumped and wanted to see what others might do to implement the following workflow 1) Parent form has a status field and can have many child records 2)Child form also has a status field with similar options Part 1 - User wants to have child records' status updated if Parent is set to a certain status value. Since there are a couple intermediate tests to perform on this I implemented it using Filter that calls a Filter Guide. Part 2 - User wants Parent status updated if all the child records have been updated to a certain status value - so if the last child record is updated to status value then the parent should be updated. Again implemented via Filter that calls filter guide. Here is where there are problems if this workflow fires and updates the parent record the workflow for part 1 will fire and the loop begins. I tried to use the value of the $GUIDE$ property to prevent the loop but no success. Any suggestions?

Re: Issues with Filter processing infinite looping - Please help!
Two forms, two filters. You need to disqualify the firing of the second filter when you do the push. Push a flag to the parent form when you perform the update (from the filter on the child form), then qualify the filter on the parent form that pushes to the child form to not fire when that flag is present. This is most commonly implemented using a field named 'Command' or something similar. All you need to pass that flag is a display only field where you can put it.

Re: Issues with Filter processing infinite looping - Please help!
Debra, I have this type of thing all the time..what I do is have a 'updateFrom' flag on both forms. If the update is coming from the Child guide, have the push include the from field. Then exclude updates coming from the child form in your parent form guide run-if.this will prevent the parent from firing when you don't want it to, and you do the same on the parent-child call to prevent the child from trying to update the parent.

Re: Urgent please help! how to refresh table using filters
Please explain better what you are doing. If you are using email to update an ARS table directly you cannot fire a filter since this is an API call.

Re: Urgent please help! how to refresh table using filters
It almost sounds like she has a table field but referring to it as a just a table and back end table is the form the table field is referencing. The way I am reading it she already has the filter guide firing but it is not looping how she expects. If this is the case, and you are using all ARS functionality (table field vs. back end SQL table directly), there is no need to refresh the table field in a filter guide/loop. ARS is smart enough to know how to handle it. A table field is more or less a UI component. The ability to do filter loops was added later (version 6.0 I think) and my belief is ARS uses the table field definition to build the SQL query to get the record set for a filter guide loop. Please describe the issue you are experiencing so we can better help you. My wild guess is that you are doing a push fields with the data in the table field and may need to override filter phasing with *`!* at the end of the filter name. Just a guess with what little we have to work with. Jason On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 3:55 PM, Roger Justice rjust2...@aol.com wrote: ** Please explain better what you are doing.

OT: Urgent please help! how to refresh table using filters
Just for fun I ran a log to see if my theory is correct. These two (MS) SQL statements were issued right after the Call Guide was issued. SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T1296 WHERE ((T1296.C536870915 = 'Application Accounts') AND (T1296.C536870916 = 0) AND ('ID9C2B20524153EZ5ZTQv6PtoAFVUV' = T1296.C600017002) AND ((T1296.C536870914 LIKE '%%' ) OR (0 != 0)) AND (T1296.C600010001 IS NOT NULL)) ORDER BY 1 ASC SELECT TOP 1001 T1296.C1,C536870914,C600010101 FROM T1296 WHERE ((T1296.C536870915 = 'Application Accounts') AND (T1296.C536870916 = 0) AND ('ID9C2B20524153EZ5ZTQv6PtoAFVUV' = T1296.C600017002) AND ((T1296.C536870914 LIKE '%%' ) OR (0 != 0)) AND (T1296.C600010001 IS NOT NULL)) ORDER BY C536870914 ASC, 1 ASC I thought the *LIKE '%%'* was kind of odd until I looked at the table field qualification: ('Menu Name' = Application Accounts) AND ('Status-Resource' = Active) AND ($GUID$ = 'Parent Request ID-WARDD') AND (('Menu Item' LIKE ((% + $SystemSearch$) + %)) OR ($SystemSearch$ = )) AND ('chkSelectedAccount-WARDD' != $NULL$) The table field works with a character field to limit results based on a keyword, purely for UI purposes. I use the same UI table field in the filter loop. According to my theory it makes complete sense but never thought about it in this context and I didn't consider it when I build the table field query.

Re: Interview Questions - Please help
Hi Ram, I know this subject kind of went into several directions. Folks here generally are very helpful. The topic seems to have struck a chord with many of us. Your list of questions runs from very basic questions about Remedy to some pretty complex ones (even a few that are pretty open ended and can be answered in different ways). I think a couple of folks kind of summed it up when they spoke about knowing the answer to the questions below vs being able to apply the knowledge in the system. I took the liberty of going to www.google.com and running the first few questions from your list. You can find some good info if you look at the links that deal with Remedy when doing that. Here's the first few to get you started: 1 What is the difference between an Active Link and a Filter? source = http://remedy.gatech.edu/documentation/remedyguide512.pdf While active links reside and execute on the client, filters live and execute only on the server. Filters exist mainly to enforce business rules and do some other useful things. 2 What is a (Remedy) .def file used for Source: https://eits.uga.edu/remedy/admin/definition.htm Remedy definition files contain workflow information needed to create forms, filter, active links, and other things that make the application (such as the Client Service Request) run. 3 What is a (Remedy) .arx file Source: http://service-it-remedy.web.cern.ch/service-it-remedy/clients/aruser/Reports15.html Use this file type to export requests that you might need to use in other AR System forms. This file type is compatible with Remedy Import. If you have Remedy Import installed, you can import the data from the .arx file into another AR System form 4 Who is Doug Mueller Source: http://www.bmc.com/thought-leadership/42415082.html\ Doug Mueller, BMC CTO for the Service Management Business Unit, is a co-founder of Remedy® and is involved with product architecture/ development of Action Request System® and applications Hopefully you get the idea - one word of caution - We all know there is alot of information out there - depending on your level of expertise, you may want to consult with numerous sources to verify what you are reading. I think if you first research these items and have more specific questions folks here will be more than happy to guide you through the system. It's also going to be difficult to understand the answers to some of the more complex questions without a system to practice / work on - Good Luck On Fri, 18 Jun 2010 17:06:31 +0530, Ram Rudra rambabu.ru...@gssamerica.com wrote: I am going to face an interview Joe.

As many have already said... If you are applying for a Remedy position, if you don't already know the answers to some of the more basic questions on the list you provided, you should pick up the Remedy manuals and read them.

Re: Interview Questions - Please help
Ok...I'll give you one of the more obscure ones because we needed to use this the other day ourselves 33) When you use archgid command line utility? You would use the chgid utility when you need to change any internal remedy ID representation for any reason...the native UI does not provide the ability to do this...you can change the ID of forms, fields, etc. This utility will also go through the data dictionary and update all references to that field ID in workflow, etc. Significantly easier than tracking everything down yourself and modifying manually. I wish you luck in your endeavors in the Remedy worldthere are several questions on that list that you yourself should be able to answer with 2 years experience. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Ram Rudra Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 9:16 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Interview Questions - Please help Past 2 years.

Ok, since no one responded to my question earlier, I decided to go investigate this myself to get the answer. The `! at the end of a filter or AL, will make ALL actions fire in Phase 1, even actions that would normally fire in Phase 3.

Rootuja, Don't you think you should learn a bit more about Ram's situation before making such an accusation? I didn't know anything about Remedy when I took this job ten years ago, and they knew it and apparently figured I was worth training. If Ram is trying to pass himself off as an experienced developer when he isn't, then he deserves a kick in the you-know-what. But there is nothing wrong with learning what you can about a product before applying for a job.

Re: Interview Questions - Please help
Hello Ram, I appreciate your attempt to be 'proactive' in preparation for your interview, but the approach you selected, would perhaps be the worst way you prepare for an interview - preparing a bullet list of expected technical questions and mailing it to the most popular and well known forum in the industry. What are the chances that the interviewer might have seen your post here? Around or maybe higher than 50%?? Technical questions will be asked - no doubt about that, but preparing a cheat sheet and asking around for help on answering them is no way of preparing for an interview and still be completely honest about yourself and what you know. That would perhaps be the most dishonest approach to it, and you might have already lost half your chance of succeeding at your interview, if your interviewer has seen or heard of this post. If you were preparing this sheet from your own knowledge and past experiences and then composing the answers yourself so that you do not fumble at the interview on things you already know, that's another thing, although I don't see why someone who already knows his stuff would need to do that - maybe someone who has a slight language problem.. But even then, a smart interviewer can easily see the difference between someone who has a language problem and someone who does or does not know his stuff.. Most smart technical interviewers cross question.. What is the difference between an AL and Filter.. You already got a few answers to that.. having answered that cross questions could be why an AL why not a Filter or vice versa.. Or where are filters stored. How are If and Else actions stored? How is an AL or a Filter related to its schema? How would you pull a list of all the AL's or Filters attached to a form if you were asked to query the database for that list... These are just a crude example of a cross questions I might ask as a tech interviewer on just your first question, progressing a little from a simple cross question to more complicated ones... How well would you do at them?? And I am not even a professional interviewer - done it just a few times.. I'm not discouraging you from your interview but encouraging you to be more honest with yourself, learn while you work with the product, gain that knowledge through experience and not a cheat sheet.. This is a very small industry where everyone knows everyone and you do not want to tarnish your reputation by misrepresenting yourself and attempt to be someone that you are not.. Having said all this, good luck with your interview, prepare yourself with what you got to say about yourself, your past projects, your past milestones, achievements, and why hiring you would be the best business decision of the hour that interview might have made for that company...

BTW, I generally direct folks to the documentation section of Support Central vs. downloading the doc from EPD. For a few reasons: 1. Products only show up on EPD if you have them under your contract. Support Central shows all products - regardless of whether you own them or not 2. You can URL link directly to documents - but not to files on EPD. 3. Navigation is a little easier to get to the Doc section vs. moving all the way through EPD and then downloading the zip file.

Re: Interview Questions - Please help- Rant
Without knowing the truth/motivation of the original poster, I would very gently point out that it is quite possible that someone has been asked to hire a Remedy developer without really knowing what that is. I say this only because in an earlier life, I worked in HR at a major university. It was not uncommon for me to have to conduct interviews with people about positions I knew little about. I would have to ask the people who were currently in those jobs for questions and answers that I could ask that would help me weed out folks before I sent them on to the hiring managers (who hopefully knew a hell of a lot more than I do). A particular case comes to mind where I and 2 others were asked to re-interview plumbers. A Master plumber had been hired, but it was suggested that the only reason he had been hired was that he had 2 brothers (also plumbers) working in that department. It was up to us to interview these folks and make a decision based on there technical skills who was the best for the job (it was only recently that I learned how to use a plunger!) I did quite a bit of research prior to the interviews so that I could ask intelligent questions, and understand if I was getting an intelligent answer back! If someone is just trying to put together a cheat sheet, trust me, their ignorance will come shining through!

Re: Interview Questions - Please help
I was in an interview one time when the person asking the questions was actually thumbing through the developer handbook. About 15 minutes in, I told him to call me back when he got done studying. On the flip side, I had a very keen manager not ask a single technical question - he had already spoken with other folks in the industry that knew me - so he had a darn good idea what I could do.

Re: Interview Questions - Please help
If LJ will allow me... My wife used to work in HR circles for hiring of technical personnel. She tells me the following concerning employment law here in the United States: - it is actually not illegal to ask questions about age, race, gender, marital status, etc; - but it IS ILLEGAL TO ACTUALL USE SUCH INFORMATION during the hiring decision (unless hiring authority can prove such answers are related to the job!). Trouble is: once a person has obtained ANY information, how do you prove that information was NOT used? Therefore, most HR departments enforce a policy: DO NOT ASK!!! And, such a 'know/did-not-know' criteria can be applied to technology questions as well, making a really meaningful (and fully legal!) screening of an employee for a technology post quite challenging, especially here in the US.

I would have to ask the people who were currently in those jobs for questions and answers that I could ask that would help me weed out folks before I sent them on to the hiring managers (who hopefully knew a hell of a lot more than I do). A particular case comes to mind where I and 2 others were asked to re-interview plumbers. A Master plumber had been hired, but it was suggested that the only reason he had been hired was that he had 2 brothers (also plumbers) working in that department. It was up to us to interview these folks and make a decision based on there technical skills who was the best for the job (it was only recently that I learned how to use a plunger!) I did quite a bit of research prior to the interviews so that I could ask intelligent questions, and understand if I was getting an intelligent answer back!

Re: Interview Questions - Please help
Ah Ok, well I'll answer the first one then you just need 33 more replies. The simple answer is that an Active Link is client side code whereas a Filter is server side code. An active link is triggered by the end user interacting with the application, for example using a button, selecting a menu or diplaying an entry. A filter is triggered by an action on the server, whether through a submission, modification, deletion, merge or returning an entry. In addition to Active Links and Filters there are Escalations which can trigger server side code, or interact directly based on a timed schedule. Hi Matt, I want answers only.

Re: Interview Questions - Please help
Memory check (I think I'm over thinking this) What about Phase 3 actions in a filter? For some odd reason I was thinking that the `! only worked for phase 2 actions like push fields. Yet then I started thinking that no, it worked for Run Process and Notifications too. Which is it? I can't remember (and yes I'm being lazy by not looking it up in the doco). Maybe a better question would be to have someone describe the different phases and the different items that normally occur in them. Also, Rather than having just a list of questions that can be answered in a few words or 1 sentence and the answers easily looked up and memorized. Instead look at asking them about the projects they've worked on, how they went, the challenges they faced and how they overcame them. The other thing you may want to think about is a gradual increase in difficulty of questions. If they answer X well, then ask Y which would be a little harder, then ask Z which would be a little harder than Y, and so on. And if they can answer some of the more difficult questions, then asking about T, B, and H tables may be a waste of time, as they would most likely already know that.

Ram, Are you the interviewer or the interviewee? If you are the interviewer, I doubt you will be able to sufficiently evaluate a candidate just by knowing the answers. My current manager has stopped doing any part of the technical interview because he realizes that his employees are better equipped. If you are on the receiving end of these questions, memorizing the answers will not help you as I will find you out in about 5 minutes. I recently had a candidate who knew the filter phasing a bit too well. After a couple of more questions I realized that he had memorized every aspect of phasing, probably because it is such a common question. We have also come up with a technical test where you sit in front of the tools and have to create a little application. Those who know their stuff finish in less than 20 minutes and those that don't take a long time. It is a great differentiator.

Re: Interview Questions - Please help
Asking DDE questions at this point is pointless. DDE does not work in browsers so any DDE-related development simply will not work in Remedy 8x and above.

Re: CMDB upgrade to 7.6 failure, please help
When this happened to me at the same place during the upgrade as you report it was due to the hostname pointing to a public IP.

Re: CMDB upgrade to 7.6 failure, please help
Anne, Besides increasing the timings in the script, since you are on Unix, set the max open files etc to unlimited. I remember having a similar problem with the startup of the AR Server, during an install and doing these two things resolved the problem.. This is done using the admin utility ulimit. A random google search gave me this - I haven't read the article but thought I'd post an example.. You could research a bit more about ulimit settings for your version of Linux - generally its the same for almost all versions - but just in case.. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/condorg/linux_scalability.html Joe -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org]on Behalf Of Ramey, Anne Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 1:50 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: CMDB upgrade to 7.6 failure, please help That is the fix I found as well.

Re: CMDB upgrade to 7.6 failure, please help
Adding ssc 2 2 7200 After the init in the problem file appears to have solved that issue (using the pause setting for the install). I'm past that point in this install attempt.

I have run the below command on USER Form C:\Program Files\AR System\serverarreload -a MyAdmin -p password -u User -f -d The above command successfully reloaded all the user entries in the cache. Here are my questions - 1) Can we have any log file during arreload command runs with all the details? 2) Can we run arreload command for a single user? How? 3) Do I require restarting any of the Remedy services after running arreload command? I have run the below command on GROUP Form C:\Program Files\AR System\serverarreload -a MyAdmin -p password -u Group -f -d Giving error as below Updating 'target' server -- localhost Verifying Admin access to server Deleting existing group cache entries on localhost Reloading groups Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Group does not exist on server (ARERR 318) Any help?

When Frank advised the command arreload -a Admin -p password -g 1 -l 1 to indicate the license type, I would think the proper parameter would be L for License.

When reloading the Admin user you need to tell the group number 1 as well as the license type. Something like the following: arreload -a Admin -p password -g 1 -l 1 On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 7:17 PM, Ram Rudra rambabu.ru...@gssamerica.com
