Subject: Re: Change from Tomcat to IIS - how?

With version 7.1 you get the option when installing the mid-tier to use IIS, 
Tomcat alone or Apache and Tomcat or some other Web Server/Servlet engine 
combination. I presume the same is true for 7.5 and 7.6.

When installing with IIS the installer adds an ISAPI dll into IIS this services 
the redirection from IIS to Tomcat for those pages that IIS does not know about 
i.e. .jsp. Its all very straightforward. Once installed you can use it directly 
without additional fiddling. There are some things you can tune which I would 
suggest you use.

To use HTTPS on IIS install a script that traps the page not found message on 
HTTP and issue the redirect, there is loads of examples on the web.

The question should really be why use IIS at all - Tomcat can be configured to 
accept HTTPS and encrypt the channel, also IIS/Tomcat is the worst combo for 
performance. Tomcat alone outperforms the combo by up to 20%.

How does ARSetEntry work ? (Java ARS 5.1)

2010-03-24 Thread Thibaut Barrère
Hello,

I'm using a fairly old version of ARS (5.1) and I'm not really fluent
with ARS, despite reading a good part of the javadoc. Is there anyone
able to confirm how I should proceed to update one or two fields in a
given record ?

The doc seems to imply I should use Proxy.ARSetEntry:

public void ARSetEntry(ARServerUser context, Entry entry, Timestamp
ts, int option)

If I create an Entry with the correct ID and schema, and items just
for the fields I want to update, will it do what I need ? I want to
ensure I won't delete the non-specified fields. As well I have no idea
of what I just put as 'option'.

thanks for any hint!

Hello,

My advice is to use http://www.newatlanta.com/ with IIS. 
We are using here - Internal. Win 2003, Midtier 7.1 patch 008

For extern use we have Linux, Midtier 7.1 patch 008.

Bing,

Business is business anywhere, USA, Europe, India, China, Africa, Oceania,

And everywhere, business still tends to be the same, the top guys don¹t
really care about anyone else, as long as the shareholders (i.e. themselves)

Remember also that constitution in most capitalist countries allow for

2010-03-24 Thread Pierson, Shawn
I would suggest talking to management before doing anything.  Based on your 
previous emails, it sounds like they want to do away with Tomcat altogether 
rather than allowing you to use IIS/Jakarta/Tomcat.  I would make sure that 
they understand Remedy's Mid Tier can't be converted to ASP at all.

Re: Service-now.com

2010-03-24 Thread Rick Cook
Julio, your comments are appreciated, but capitalism isn't really the issue
here, deliberately fraudulent activities by individuals are, and those are
NOT allowed by at least the laws in the U.S. (I won't speak for countries
whose monetary laws I don't know).  While John Moores and Fred Luddy were
not jailed or fined for the fraud at Peregrine, most of the other Peregrine
executives were.  Not all corporate leaders operate in a manner that shows a
lack of care about their people - most of us have worked for some who did
and some who didn't.  Living a life based on integrity and caring about
people is not a national or cultural thing as much as it is a personal one.
Either one has and does those things, or one doesn't.  It is their choice.

Since I believe a case could be made that Moores and possibly Luddy could or
should have known about the fraud, and at very least looked the other way
while reaping the benefits of selling their stock at artificially inflated
values to the eventual detriment of their employees and outside
shareholders, that shows a level of integrity and care of others that I am
not comfortable working with.  BTW, some of that money, from Moores at
least, is what was used to start Service-Now.  Maybe I'm wrong about these
guys.  Fred may have just been a techie out of his depth who trusted the
wrong people, something that he admits to having a history of doing.  But it
would be foolish to ignore documented actions simply because I either don't
wish to see them, or prefer to attribute personal choices to a larger
mindset.

 Bing,

 Like Rick put so very well “everyone is entitled to their opinion” but – no

 business as any US company.
 Business is business anywhere, USA, Europe, India, China, Africa, Oceania,
 etc.
 And everywhere, business still tends to be the same, the top guys don’t
 really care about anyone else, as long as the shareholders (i.e. themselves)
 make money.
 Remember also that constitution in most capitalist countries allow for
 companies to virtually do *anything *they want to protect shareholders’
 interests. Did I stress *anything*?

 Just read the link and came away with a different impression.

 John Moores co-founded BMC in 1980, was a venture capital investor in
 Peregrine in 1981, and co-founded JMI Equity in 1992.  JMI is one of
 multiple venture capital groups investing in Service-Now.  John Moores is
 not a principal at Service Now.

 I've also meet with Fred Luddy, co-founder of Service-Now, via telephone
 and visited Service-Now's headquarters in Solano Beach.  (And they are
 indeed right ON the beach.)  If you think Fred is flying high and scooping
 up tons of other people's money, think again.  Visit their facility and see
 how modestly the company operates.

 My hat goes off to Fred and his brother for doing what American business
 does best -- take an idea, find investors, start a company, create jobs,
 then work like hell to make it a success.  I believe they are deserving of
 our respect, not our criticism.

With version 7.1 you get the option when installing the mid-tier to use
IIS, Tomcat alone or Apache and Tomcat or some other Web Server/Servlet
engine combination. I presume the same is true for 7.5 and 7.6.

When installing with IIS the installer adds an ISAPI dll into IIS this
services the redirection from IIS to Tomcat for those pages that IIS
does not know about i.e. .jsp. Its all very straightforward. Once
installed you can use it directly without additional fiddling. There are
some things you can tune which I would suggest you use.

To use HTTPS on IIS install a script that traps the page not found
message on HTTP and issue the redirect, there is loads of examples on
the web.

The question should really be why use IIS at all - Tomcat can be
configured to accept HTTPS and encrypt the channel, also IIS/Tomcat is
the worst combo for performance. Tomcat alone outperforms the combo by
up to 20%.

Re: How does ARSetEntry work ? (Java ARS 5.1)

2010-03-24 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi,

If your underlying entry-object only contains the field/value-pairs you
want to set, you will be fine.

The ARSetEntry-function is designed to allow updates of changed fields only.

If you pass field123=NULL to ARSetEntry, it will clear this field. If you
do not pass field123, nothing will happen to that field.

 Hello,

 I'm using a fairly old version of ARS (5.1) and I'm not really fluent
 with ARS, despite reading a good part of the javadoc. Is there anyone
 able to confirm how I should proceed to update one or two fields in a
 given record ?

 The doc seems to imply I should use Proxy.ARSetEntry:

 public void ARSetEntry(ARServerUser context, Entry entry, Timestamp
 ts, int option)

 If I create an Entry with the correct ID and schema, and items just
 for the fields I want to update, will it do what I need ? I want to
 ensure I won't delete the non-specified fields. As well I have no idea
 of what I just put as 'option'.

 thanks for any hint!

Re: 7.5 Installation Problems (of course!)

When we tried to install 7.5 p3 on our Dev Server we were given the error 
that we needed to change the Registry NS_Lang setting to 
AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8 (it's currently AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252)

When we changed this registry setting a bunch of our forms disappeared 
because (we think) there were views on these forms local language settings.  So 
we deleted all of these views, updated the registry and we are still having a 
problem with one of our forms.

So we ran a csscan and nothing came back with any errors.  Ran the conversion 
on the database and then changed the registry and we are STILL having a problem 
with a Display only form that has about 30 views on it.  The views don't have 
any Locales set, but each of them is for a different language.  (so the German 
view would have instructions in all the text boxes in German for example).

This form will eventually be getting rid of all the views so all the data, text 
boxes, etc, is going to be data driven, but for now, why do you think it's 
giving us a problem?

OT: new tool RRR|ArxToHTML added

2010-03-24 Thread Misi Mladoniczky
Hi All,

I have added a free utility for converting ARX-files into something we
humans can read.

This can be useful for archiving purposes, or when you want to bring some
offline data with you on the road.

The result is an index-file with the result-list of your export data, as
well as details and attachments for each record. You can drill-down from
the index-file to the record-details.

This is the simplest way to run the tool:
C:\...rrrArxToHTML -a problem.arx -d problem.def -t problem

You will get a problem-folder created with an index.html-file, and a
sub-folders for each problem in the arx-file.

The def-file, containing the problem-form, is used in order to get correct

Hi All,

I have added a free utility for converting ARX-files into something we
humans can read.

This can be useful for archiving purposes, or when you want to bring some
offline data with you on the road.

The result is an index-file with the result-list of your export data, as
well as details and attachments for each record. You can drill-down from the
index-file to the record-details.

This is the simplest way to run the tool:
C:\...rrrArxToHTML -a problem.arx -d problem.def -t problem

You will get a problem-folder created with an index.html-file, and a
sub-folders for each problem in the arx-file.

The def-file, containing the problem-form, is used in order to get correct
representation of selection-field-values, as well as grouping fields by
pages and tab-order, etc.

Problems with arserver starting

2010-03-24 Thread Mayfield, Andy L.
We upgraded to new hardware for our test server.
We installed Windows 2008 and MSSQL 2007.
Installed ARS 7.5 Patch 004
Everything is working correctly at this point.

We then loaded the database from our production server, which is running:
Windows 2003 and MSSQL 2007.

Everything was working fine on the new test server, until you restart the 
server.
Now anytime you restart the server we see the following errors in the arerr.log

It's as though there's a timing issue between the arserver and the SQL DB.

Any ideas?

So -- if you were to run this - and produce a bunch of HTML -- then  
hook it to your web-server -- then use Lucene to crawl it -- you sort

Hi John,

Good idea!

I guess I should add some CSS-support to make it easier to drop the files
onto a web server...

Another idea would be to allow shortcuts to Mid-Tier from the

All these servers are having independent Remedy application running as of

Is it possible to merge it in a single console are show them? At the same

Hi,

You can download it and use it however you like.

This tool does not connect to anything, so It should be safe enough, and
easy to box in.

You can always run it on an external hardware if you can bring your
arx/def-file with you.

The resulting HTML-files are extremely simple, contain no javascript etc.

 Hi Misi,

 I work in a company that has as many rules as red tapes..

 Can I download this tool and use it by myself, just for optimizing my
 codes?

 We don't have permissions to use softwares which aren't from the
 company.. I mean... which are unknown by the company.

 Thanks!
 I think converting arx data to html using ArxToHtml is could be pretty

 P.S.: I've decided to ask because we've already prohibited to make use of

Re: Change from Tomcat to IIS - how?

2010-03-24 Thread Differ, Alfred W CTR NAVSEA, 210
Right.  This lets IIS take on the authentication work up front and then pass 
requests through the Jakarta ISAPI plugin to Tomcat where the mid-tier is 
installed as a web-app.

It's not hard to learn how to do this.  If you reinstall the mid-tier the 
installer should take care of it for you.  I didn't do that here.  Instead I 
just put the plugin in place and then stepped into the IIS configuration tool 
and wrote the rest in.  I had to learn a bit about filters to do it.

I would suggest talking to management before doing anything.  Based on your 
previous emails, it sounds like they want to do away with Tomcat altogether 
rather than allowing you to use IIS/Jakarta/Tomcat.  I would make sure that 
they understand Remedy's Mid Tier can't be converted to ASP at all.

Subject: Re: Change from Tomcat to IIS - how?

With version 7.1 you get the option when installing the mid-tier to use IIS, 
Tomcat alone or Apache and Tomcat or some other Web Server/Servlet engine 
combination. I presume the same is true for 7.5 and 7.6.

When installing with IIS the installer adds an ISAPI dll into IIS this services 
the redirection from IIS to Tomcat for those pages that IIS does not know about 
i.e. .jsp. Its all very straightforward. Once installed you can use it directly 
without additional fiddling. There are some things you can tune which I would 
suggest you use.

To use HTTPS on IIS install a script that traps the page not found message on 
HTTP and issue the redirect, there is loads of examples on the web.

The question should really be why use IIS at all - Tomcat can be configured to 
accept HTTPS and encrypt the channel, also IIS/Tomcat is the worst combo for 
performance. Tomcat alone outperforms the combo by up to 20%.

You can use something like Jakarta to hand off the connection from IIS to 
Tomcat.  We do this as part of our SSO.  Incoming requests are picked up by IIS 
on port 80 and handed off to Tomcat on port 8080.  You could likely due the 
same thing with HTTPS.

This sounds like you probably need to enable 32-bit applications in IIS.  There 
are recent threads on this topic that will likely answer the question, 
including the steps needed to enable it.  If you search the arslist archives,

Users can't see certain forms when client running as User

2010-03-24 Thread Martin, Dwayne
Hi Everyone,
We have an old PC (Dell optiplex 260 XP) that various users have been using to 
log into Remedy for years.  Remedy was running as system Administrator.  For 
security we downgraded the machine to run as User.  As soon as we did, certain 
users were unable to see certain Remedy forms.  They could see the form listed 
in the object list, but when they clicked on it, nothing happened.  We could 
not find anything that either the users or the forms have in common.  One of 
the people who couldn't see the forms was running as Remedy Administrator, so 
it can't be a permission issue.  All the people who couldn't see the forms 
could not see the same forms.
When we set the computer back to running as Administrator, the problem went 
away.
Anybody have any idea what is going on and why?

Re: Problems with arserver starting

2010-03-24 Thread Tommy Morris
Andy, go into your ar.cfg and set the db-password manually. The
encryption key doesn't pass between servers but once you connect the
first thing you will want to do is go into the Database Tab on the
Server Information form and set the password there again. The next
restart will set your db-password back into an encrypted value in ar.cfg

We upgraded to new hardware for our test server.

Everything is working correctly at this point.

We then loaded the database from our production server, which is

Everything was working fine on the new test server, until you restart

Just a thought. Ex: you have server A,B,C
You could probably write dblinks to the incident forms in b,c in
server a.
Then create view forms on server a for server b,c with those db links.
And use these view forms to create a join of Incident form on A,
viewform_B, viewform_C, and then use this Join form  in the table
field to display incidents on all servers.

Re: Users can't see certain forms when client running as User SOLVED

2010-03-24 Thread Martin, Dwayne
Thanks, Frederick,

Our local PC guru came to a similar conclusion and fixed it.  I'll quote him:
**
Found several files the user did not have Write access to.  Granted Modify, 
Read  Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, and Write permissions to the logged 
in Windows user for the following directories.  

%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AR Systems\home
%ProgramFiles%\AR System\User

The second folder may not be necessary but was done because the options showed 
the user accessing/writing to a .LOG file in that folder.

CI Name - Computer Systems

2010-03-24 Thread Greg Donalson
Hi everyone,

We currently have the CMDB installed, but are not using it to its greatest 
potential.  We are only manually imported and updating the CI's as people see 
fit.  The initial owner of this process had the Tag Number and the CI Name as 
the same thing - the tag number of the CI.  Nice to have duplicate data!

They now would like to change the CI Name to be something more meaningful:
1. As we are on 7.0 and it shows the CI Name in the CI Viewer
2. Because virtual machines do not have tag numbers

What is everyone else using as the CI Name in the Computer Systems form?

Thanks!

Re: CI Name - Computer Systems

2010-03-24 Thread Lyle Taylor
In my last position, we used the machine's name in DNS as the CI name.  That 
way, people see the CI in the way they're using to seeing it everywhere else.  
The important thing to note, if you do that, is that CIs really ought to have a 
unique identifier that stays with that CI forever and never changes.  For 
physical servers, that might be your Tag Number.  In our case, I used the CI ID 
field and wrote workflow that would auto-generate a new value for all new CIs, 
and we never changed it after that.  You could potentially put the Tag Number 
in that field, and then create another class of Tag Numbers that you assigned 
to VMs to handle that scenario.  You could format it in such a way that it's 
obvious whether it's a Tag Number for a physical system or a virtual one for 
VMs.

One big caveat with using names, though, is that names can change (hence one of 
the reasons for needing another unique ID to refer to the CIs, especially if 
you're going to refer to them from external systems), and you need to be extra 
careful with reconciliation rules (if you write any of your own), and may need 
to modify OOB ones, since it will by default match first on name.

 Hi All,

 I have added a free utility for converting ARX-files into something we
 humans can read.

 This can be useful for archiving purposes, or when you want to bring
 some
 offline data with you on the road.

 The result is an index-file with the result-list of your export data, as
 well as details and attachments for each record. You can drill-down
 from the
 index-file to the record-details.

 This is the simplest way to run the tool:
 C:\...rrrArxToHTML -a problem.arx -d problem.def -t problem

 You will get a problem-folder created with an index.html-file, and a
 sub-folders for each problem in the arx-file.

 The def-file, containing the problem-form, is used in order to get
 correct
 representation of selection-field-values, as well as grouping fields by
 pages and tab-order, etc.

 Download the tool from: https://www.rrr.se/cgi/tools/main#rrrArxToHTML

 usage: rrrArxToHTML -a data.arx
 [ -d form.def ]
 [ -t targetdir ]
 [ -l index.html ]
 [ -fse { iso-8859-1 | latin1 | utf-8 | cp850 } ] [ -e { iso-8859-1 |

Re: CI Name - Computer Systems

2010-03-24 Thread Marsh, Lee
We adopted the following naming conventions for CI's:

Introduction

BMC Remedy ITSM / Atrium CMDB systems have a need for unique names to use in 
identifying each instance of a configuration item.  The convention needed to be 
separate from the network name so as to include configuration item that were 
not network addressable.  It also needed to cover soft assets such as software 
licenses, process documents, and services.  

General Format:

The general format for the Item name is CCC-A.  The CCC represents a 2-3 
character functional group code identify general type of configuration item.  
The A9 is the format of the asset tag including a single alpha-character 
followed by a 5 digit number.  If the item does not have or warrant an asset 
tag the alpha-character of X will be used with a 5 digit sequentially 
generated number.  The X9 generated number need only be unique for the CCC 
class of the object.  

Generally each instance will also have another unique identifier to associate 
with the item name such as serial number or license number.  Also each 
addressable device will have attributes that capture the network device name 
and/or address (IP).  The attributes and associated date values collected will 
be dependent upon the Configuration Item Class as defined in the BMC Atrium 
CMDB Common Data Model This is different than the functional group that is part 
of the name but related in that several classes may belong to a functional 
group.

Initial Functional Group Codes:

The following functional group codes will be used.
CS = Computer System
MON = Monitor (monitor, projector)
PRT = Printer
PHD = Peripheral Device or System Component (drive, scanner, digitizer, 
etc)
DSL = Definitive SW (license) 
SRV = Service
DOC = Document
PRC = Process (document)
EQP = Equipment (other office equipment, copies, bindery)
BINV = Bulk (Consumables and Supplies)
INV-BLD = Inventory Locations (where BLD is the Site Code)  


This has served us well so far in allowing us to track configuration items, 
primarily through asset management.
If you need more details or discussion regarding some of the considerations 
that went into building this naming convention, please let me know.

Hope this helps,
Lee Marsh

Limiting Permissions on the Incident Management Form

2010-03-24 Thread Arner, Todd
Hello Listers,
I received a request from our management wanting to limit the access of
a particular type of Incidents to two specific groups.  Currently any
one with Incident user permissions can search the Incident form and see
any Incident entered.  We want to keep this functionality for the
majority of Incidents but limit the permissions to our Security and
Service Center for certain Incidents.  Has anyone else had to do
something similar?  I have a couple of ideas on how to do this but just
wanted to get others input to see if I am missing a better way to
handle.

followed by a 5 digit number.  If the item does not have or warrant an asset 
tag the alpha-character of X will be used with a 5 digit sequentially 
generated number.  The X9 generated number need only be unique for the CCC 
class of the object.

Generally each instance will also have another unique identifier to associate 
with the item name such as serial number or license number.  Also each 
addressable device will have attributes that capture the network device name 
and/or address (IP).  The attributes and associated date values collected will 
be dependent upon the Configuration Item Class as defined in the BMC Atrium 
CMDB Common Data Model This is different than the functional group that is part 
of the name but related in that several classes may belong to a functional 
group.

Initial Functional Group Codes:

The following functional group codes will be used.
CS = Computer System
MON = Monitor (monitor, projector)
PRT = Printer
PHD = Peripheral Device or System Component (drive, scanner, digitizer, 
etc)
DSL = Definitive SW (license)
SRV = Service
DOC = Document
PRC = Process (document)
EQP = Equipment (other office equipment, copies, bindery)
BINV = Bulk (Consumables and Supplies)
INV-BLD = Inventory Locations (where BLD is the Site Code)


This has served us well so far in allowing us to track configuration items, 
primarily through asset management.
If you need more details or discussion regarding some of the considerations 
that went into building this naming convention, please let me know.

Hope this helps,
Lee Marsh

Subject: CI Name - Computer Systems

Hi everyone,

We currently have the CMDB installed, but are not using it to its greatest 
potential.  We are only manually imported and updating the CI's as people see 
fit.  The initial owner of this process had the Tag Number and the CI Name as 
the same thing - the tag number of the CI.  Nice to have duplicate data!

They now would like to change the CI Name to be something more meaningful:
1. As we are on 7.0 and it shows the CI Name in the CI Viewer 2. Because 
virtual machines do not have tag numbers

What is everyone else using as the CI Name in the Computer Systems form?

Thanks!

Greg

Re: Limiting Permissions on the Incident Management Form

2010-03-24 Thread Roger Justice
7.5 extended the functionality to allow support groups that could not see a 
company to see an Incident for a company that their support group is assigned 
to. The only way I have seen what you have requested is to create a new company 
and restrict all other support users to only the old company and let the

Hello Listers, 
I received a request from our management wanting to limit the access of a

Incident user permissions can search the Incident form and see any Incident

limit the permissions to our Security and Service Center for certain Incidents. 
 Has anyone else had to do something similar?  I have a couple of ideas on how

 Hi All,

 I have added a free utility for converting ARX-files into something we
 humans can read.

 This can be useful for archiving purposes, or when you want to bring
 some
 offline data with you on the road.

 The result is an index-file with the result-list of your export data,
 as
 well as details and attachments for each record. You can drill-down
 from the
 index-file to the record-details.

 This is the simplest way to run the tool:
 C:\...rrrArxToHTML -a problem.arx -d problem.def -t problem

 You will get a problem-folder created with an index.html-file, and a
 sub-folders for each problem in the arx-file.

 The def-file, containing the problem-form, is used in order to get
 correct
 representation of selection-field-values, as well as grouping fields by
 pages and tab-order, etc.

 Download the tool from: https://www.rrr.se/cgi/tools/main#rrrArxToHTML

 usage: rrrArxToHTML -a data.arx
 [ -d form.def ]
 [ -t targetdir ]
 [ -l index.html ]
 [ -fse { iso-8859-1 | latin1 | utf-8 | cp850 } ] [ -e { iso-8859-1 |
 latin1

arinside but I can get the def. So using something like this is  
non intrusive in a closed and classified arena... I was just hoping.   
Thanks anyways

 Well...

 I think that would be something to incorporate in ARInside.

 It is not hard to fill out the C-structures with data from a def- 
 file. It is just a lot of hard work to get it complete and version 
 independent...

 Misi,

 Good idea.

 I would create a template file with placeholders for fields.

 Some sort of

 rrrhtmlprep -d ... which would create a template file.

 Then a person could modify that file.
 -add css references
 -add javascript
 blah blah


 Then rrrarxtohtml -d  -template  -- would use the template 
 to create the files.



 Also -- if somebody would prefer to open the ticket in MidTier or 
 some other strategy -- they could do that by modifying the template 
 before generation.


 Again -- a great project.

 Thanks for your most excellent work Misi.

 Hi John,

 Good idea!

 I guess I should add some CSS-support to make it easier to drop the 
 files onto a web server...

 Another idea would be to allow shortcuts to Mid-Tier from the

 Very slick.


 So -- if you were to run this - and produce a bunch of HTML -- then 
 hook it to your web-server -- then use Lucene to crawl it -- you 
 sort of end up with a knowledgebase (sorta).


 That would be a fun project.

 Subject: OT: new tool RRR|ArxToHTML added

 Hi All,

 I have added a free utility for converting ARX-files into  
 something we
 humans can read.

 This can be useful for archiving purposes, or when you want to  
 bring
 some
 offline data with you on the road.

 The result is an index-file with the result-list of your export  
 data,
 as
 well as details and attachments for each record. You can drill-down
 from the
 index-file to the record-details.

 This is the simplest way to run the tool:
 C:\...rrrArxToHTML -a problem.arx -d problem.def -t problem

 You will get a problem-folder created with an index.html-file,  
 and a
 sub-folders for each problem in the arx-file.

 The def-file, containing the problem-form, is used in order to get
 correct
 representation of selection-field-values, as well as grouping  
 fields by
 pages and tab-order, etc.

 Download the tool from: https://www.rrr.se/cgi/tools/main#rrrArxToHTML

 usage: rrrArxToHTML -a data.arx
 [ -d form.def ]
 [ -t targetdir ]
 [ -l index.html ]
 [ -fse { iso-8859-1 | latin1 | utf-8 | cp850 } ] [ -e  
 { iso-8859-1 |
 latin1
 | utf-8 } ] [ -f formname ] [ -glf id1,id2,id3 | ALL ] [ -vui {
 viewname | viewid | DB } ] [ -hide id1,id2,id3 | ALL ] [ - 
 show {
 id1,id2,id3 | ALL } ] [ -sort { TAB | YX | XY | ID | NAME |  
 DBNAME |
 ARX }
 ] [ -suppressnull ] [ -maxrows n ] [ -silent ]

ARS 7.5 Consuming a Web Service that requires AD Authentication

2010-03-24 Thread Jason Miller
Hello List,

We are working to consume a LANDesk web service to bring in asset
information into the our CMDB (7.6).  We are encountering an issue with
authenticating to the LD server.  They are using Windows integrated
authentication to secure access the web service.  We have tried using
domain\username with no luck.

Can Remedy use more than just basic authentication to consume a web
service?  I am sure somebody has come up against this before.

Thanks,
Jason

Review the XML document and you see the ID is on the document. There is a 
command line import tool this might help.

Re: RKM Document Migration from Dev to production

2010-03-24 Thread Lyle Taylor
To really do it, you probably need to manually rename the files and edit them 
with the document ID that you want them to have.  You will probably also have 
to update the RKM database to increase the next document ID to a number greater 
than the last article that you will be adding from dev (I'm not sure where that 
field is off the top of my head, though - and I would probably do that before 
you start editing and renaming files to ensure that you don't get new articles 
added in production with a document number that you were going to use for your 
dev articles).  Then I think you can probably just throw the documents in the 
Published directory (or whatever it's named) and then reindex your articles for 
them to get picked up and included in search results.
