Re: Server group alias in notification web URL
Hi, I tried changing the server name in ar.conf today on our test system so that Server-Name=GroupAlias and Server-Connect-Name=Hostname, as suggested. The result was that upon restarting the system, the server doesn't seem to recognize it's server license...ouch. Here are the errors I got: (ARNOTE 27) (ARWARN 42) (ARERR 337) (multiple times) (ARERR 4554) (multiple times) (ARERR 9755) (ARERR 9858) (from CMDB) Since I'm doing all this just to get a functioning link in notification messages, I'm now thinking about going with the dirty solution, that is using a filter on Email Messages and changing the URL...

Re: Server group alias in notification web URL
Is your url not working because the domain is showing up? I had this issue and i went to the server information form and clicked surpress domain name but there are notifications that still embed the domain. Other option is to add the correct url with the variable for the ticket to the sys:notification record.

Re: Server group alias in notification web URL
Michael, Check out BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.6.04 Configuration Guide, page 125. I think this is what you are looking for. Add the URL of your AR server group (e.g. http://server group name/arsys) Email Notifications Web Path Specifies the base URL that appears in email notifications. If this field is left blank, the Default Web Path is used. (The Email Notifications Web Path field is available because the Default Web Path is specified for other applications like Flashboards, and it might be different from the mid tier web path for opening requests in a notification.) If your company has multiple domains, use a fully qualified path name. AR System Administration: Server Information form-Advanced tab Regards, Mike.

Re: Server group alias in notification web URL
Mike, I already changed that parameter on both servers, but it doesn't affect the URL generated for notifications (I didn't restart the system though, because changing the default web path doesn't require a restart either). From what I read in the server group config guide, I think that the correct solution to this issue would be to change the server names in ar.conf as suggested by Jason.

Re: Server group alias in notification web URL
Michael, You can refe white paper on server group for more detail on what LJ is suggeting Page 12-13 Ravi Rai Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:06:35 -0600 From: lj.longwing@mda.mil Subject: Re: Server group alias in notification web URL To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Michael, The server sends the notification out as it 'knows itself'so if it knows itself via name1 instead of the group alias...that is what you will get. You should be able to configure both servers in the group to know themselves as the group name, and use the Server-Connect-Name for the server group node specific stuff (that's how I've set it up in the past) Or you could use the email replace filter as previously suggested. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Nau, Michael Sent: Monday, June 25, 2012 8:21 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Server group alias in notification web URL ** Hi List, we have two servers running ARS 7.0.01 as a group, and one MidTier server running V7.5. On SYS:Notification Messages I have configured Incident Assignment Notifications to include both an artask attachment for fullclient users and a web URL for midtier users. The server parameter in the web URK always points to the alias of the first server of the group. Since our midtier only knows the group alias, users who click on the link are getting an error message. How can I tell the servers to use the group alias in the web URL? Here's an example of the web URL the server is sending (I masked the server name): https://remedy/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=NTE%3aNotifierserver=xeid=NTS12961712 Regards, Michael _attend WWRUG12 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: Where the Answers Are_ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are
