Or, like making > users admins, am I thinking about this the wrong way round? Thanks! You can add groups on a queue level of global. On a queue level you can only add a subset of rights of that of a global group but the way you add groups is the same. Goto Admin/Queues and select a queue, goto the group rights tab and when the page with rights appear you can ADD GROUP on the bottom left. Start typing a new name to add a ne group and assign right to that group from the 3 tabs on the left. Put some users into that group and they should only be able to do what has been assign to that queue. Watch out for rights you add globally to predefined groups. If you add SuperUser to Everyone you can't revoke that right on a lower level!. The way I test is either by using the extension BecomeUser or to have two browsers open, one with the admin interface and one with a user in the groups I'm doing admin on. Refreshing the page in the latter is enough to see the effect of rights added or removed in the admin one. You can use the groups to make them watchers on a queue and then they will receive email. What probably will work is to have two sets of groups, one for notifications and one for access, like IT_Admin_Access vs IT_Admin_Notif. I have gone for the single group variant. I have partitioned access/notification mostly into 3 parts, _Admin, _User, _Extern, so for a queue of IT I have 3 groups: * IT_Admin contains the people who can do almost anything in this queue, add/remove people, rights, except system rights etc * IT_User contains the people doing the actual work on tickets, so they can change their on dashboards/searches/profile etc * IT_Extern contains the few people outside of our org that need access to the tickets their org has made and where SelfService isn't enough, they see for example no comments, no tickets in other queues, can't change much You can add rights to these 3 groups on 3 different levels: Global, Queue and Group level then add then to the queue under Group Rights and under Watchers where I add the _Admin and _User as AdminCC's and the _Extern as CC roles so that the external orgs don't see our internal (Comment) communication. Hope this clears things up, a little. If not let us know and we'll try to help.

We are running rt with a couple of extensions but none of them should be touching something in that part of the code. Something related to this, namely PreviewScrips. If you reply/comment to a large message body then apache will log a 414 and there will be no text in the Scrips and Recipients block. Looking at the apache logs shows a very large GET request which looks like an URL encoded block of text which is 8000 chars. Shouldn't PreviewScrips use POST instead of GET because of the possible large amount of text?

In 4.2 BP introduced the concept of CustomFieldGrouping where you can
add CFs to other metadata blocks like Dates or People thats why
ShowSummary is different.
Could it be that the configuration variable todo wiht CF-Grouping has
been modified (incorrectly)??

So there is atleast one CF that should be visible.

This should show some fields if I'm correct but doesn't which if true I

You could trace the records mentioned back to the various tables in the

problems you're having.

Possible but it could be hidden or it could be obvious.
If its done well than the customisation should be done in the
/opt/rt4/local/ tree and it would survive updates. Now its probably not
a plugin so you could skip looking at the plugins folder but you never
know. Do you run plugins?
Anything in the 'lib' or 'html' folder may overrule the same file from
/opt/rt4/{lib|html} and anything in the callback folder can add/overrule
parts or anything using the callback mechanism built into RT
So is anything in it in the old system?
If it isn't done nicely then things get tricky. Source files can be
altered directly and finding them could involve getting a diff between
whats installed now and how a pristine installed tree looks like.
Looking at modified dates might also be a way to find diffs.
Lets see how far we get this time :-)

Goto the top menu: Admin/CustomFields/Select Make sure you have ticket CFs displayed (Only show custom fields for Field) Select one that is visible in the old system. Now select 'Applies to' from the top right menu There it should show you whether that CF is globally visible or only for selected queues and a list of unselected queues. Another route would be to select Admin/Queues/Select, select the queue where your CFs aren't visible anymore and then Select 'Custom Fields' from the top right menu.

I don't know if the MySQL or PostGRESQL data changes > formats in minor releases. Could someone clarify? I just upgrade from 4.0.23 with a couple of extensions to 4.4 and haven't had any major problems and the upgrade consisted of moving the database to a dedicated db server and RT to a dedicated webserver. It used to be an all in one VM. Thats more or less the same situation you're in. I installed a fresh postgres-9.3 server, imported my old database into it, installed a new webserver, installed rt-4.4.0 and ran 'make upgrade', ran the upgrade database steps, see documentation, and told it I came from 4.0.23 and wanted to end at 4.4. Upgrade went OK except for a few minor things. - being one of the first to try I hit a documentation bug. Should be solved now. - had external auth (AD) so needed to fix the users table - forgot the root password so had to reset it to something known, google is your friend - had the third party AssetTracker but wanted the BP one so had to manually convert quite a bit of the database Thats the problem spot: if you have extensions which interact with the base product beyond just visually then, but you should always do that, test , test and test. In my case: linking from tickets/articles to the old assets causes display artifacts if you don't have the extension installed. Most extensions don't have these problems and if you know your extensions well you can guess whether it will work or not. Read the UPGRADING documentation. SLA is core now, Assets are, ExternalAuth is. So don't reinstall those extensions anymore. Anything else depends on the original authors whether it will work with 4.4.

[rt-users] Add entries to TYPEMAP
Hi All, We are in the process of upgrading our RT install from 4.0.23 to 4.4.0 but have been putting this off because of the extension AssetTracker that we're using. The last couple of weeks I have been looking at an upgrade path and I think I have found a way to upgrade our instance. A test conversion seems to be working fine after the standard RT upgrade path, coupled with a number of database upgrades to get our AssetTracker metadata moved over to RT::Assets. Using the Import::CSV to get the data over. There is a small bug in that extension. It has been made compatible with RT-4.4.0 but it still uses rtxassets/rtxcatalog instead of assets/catalogs tables :-( Now to the question I have: AssetTracker uses a couple of extra LinkTypes (Runs/RunsOn/ComponentOf/HasComponent) and I can convert these to Parent/Child or DependsOn/DependantON links but I have been wondering how much trouble it would be to add those types to the Link TYPEMAP, and besides adding them if there would be a need for code to handle these. Anyone who can/is willing to comment on that idea?

Don't drop the users table. I just did a test upgrade from 4.0.23 to 4.4.0 and we're using ExternalAuth too.

If they enter their requests in a structured way then you could parse it and automatically create tickets. We use a modified version from the wiki which splits a request in components and makes depends on tickets from it. Ex: This is the body of the parent ticket which will get split into multiple tasks. - This would be the subject of task one And this would be the body of task one. Can span multiple lines if you wish. - This would be the subject of task two And ofcourse the body - - This would be the subject of task two.one and the body. Regards, Joop

If you were using Oracle I would say that Oracle is caching sequence numbers and that would be the reason for the jumps, although the jumps would only be 10 or 20 numbers, from memory thus not sure. Maybe MySQL is also caching and thus it will skip a certain amount of numbers. Joop

Look at the definition of the LINKS to to find what is being violated. This means that you already have a row with abc.com and trying to create a second one from an old example.com.

Maybe someone on the list who has complex ticket routing is willing to explain how to do that, in general terms or with specific code, anyone?? Regards, Joop

I can guarantee that for any particular phrase, there exists one transaction on the ticket which does not contain that phrase -- thus always matching all tickets. Running the query from the statementlog and modifying as described (adding a not) does what it needs todo, exclude all tickets that have that phrase in it. This is using Pg as a backend.

I have looked in the wiki and the mailing list archive and see a lot about AD issues but not his... or I don't know enough to know what I am looking for yet.

Is the situation that plain AD users are not real RT user accounts by default? Read etc/RT_Config, either on the server you installed RT on or on the bestpractical.com site Our situation is that of an IT HelpDesk for a large facility. Hundreds of plain AD users should be able to submit tickets and do unprivileged RT actions. A much smaller group of folks, the HelpDesk folks, need to be able to do the real RT work: assign tickets, move them into queues, etc. I have another unrelated newbie setup question as well. I work for a large facility and again my main focus is replacing an ancient ticket system in my group. I can easily imagine that over time other departments/groups in the facility may want their own RT services. Are there docs that can tell me what to do now to prepare for multi-department use? Should each unit have their own install config? Can one instance service multiple units with undoubtedly unique needs? I think so, create groups and queues and assign the correct rights.

[rt-users] RT-Assets-Import-CSV surprises
Hi All, Still trying out new things :-) Found another thing which I think is a shortcut in the documentation. Quoting one of the examples: Set( $AssetsImportUniqueCF, 'Service Tag' ); Set( %AssetsImportFieldMapping, # 'RT custom field name' = 'CSV field name' 'Service Tag'= 'serviceTag', 'Location' = 'building', 'Serial #' = 'serialNo', 'Catalog'= \'Hardware', ); As I see it both Location and Serial # are Asset CustomFields and not one of the basic fields like id,Name,Description. Using this as an example I tried to import our UPS Catalog which looks like the following: id,Name,Description,Status,Type,UPS Batt replaced,UPS Firmware revision,UPS Serial Number 553,wag-ups1,APC SmartUPS 3000,production,BackupPower,2005-08-17,666.6.l,JS0534006874 With the following config part it will import the assets but not the last 3 columns which are the CF's of this type. Set( $AssetsImportUniqueCF, undef ); Set( %AssetsImportFieldMapping, # 'RT custom field name' = 'CSV field name' 'id' = 'id', 'Name' = 'Name', 'Description' = 'Description', 'Catalog' =\'BackupPower', 'UPS Batt replaced' = 'UPS Batt replaced', 'UPS Firmware revision' = 'UPS Firmware revision', 'UPS Serial Number' = 'UPS Serial Number', ); Looking at the output of debug shows that it sees the last 3 columns but it doesn't do anything with it. Putting some prints in CSV.pm and looking at the code I found out that the config should read: Set( $AssetsImportUniqueCF, undef ); Set( %AssetsImportFieldMapping, # 'RT custom field name' = 'CSV field name' 'id' = 'id', 'Name' = 'Name', 'Description' = 'Description', 'Catalog' =\'BackupPower', 'CF.UPS Batt replaced' = 'UPS Batt replaced', 'CF.UPS Firmware revision' = 'UPS Firmware revision', 'CF.UPS Serial Number' = 'UPS Serial Number', ); Running the importer with --update will indeed now update the last 3 columns.

I'm using 4.0.5 and use the subject tag available at the queue level. Tag of general is Helpdesk and the tag for network operations is NOC when a ticket is moved from general its subject tag changes to NOC #xyz Joop -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

[rt-users] ServiceBusinessHours issue with more then one definition.
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up ServiceBusinessHours.
For some reason it doesn't seem to work, when I have more definitions.
Is seems to only use the Default.
Set( %ServiceBusinessHours,
'Default' = {
1 = { Name = 'Monday', Start = '9:00', End =
'18:00' },
2 = { Name = 'Tuesday', Start = '9:00', End =
'18:00' },
holidays = [qw(2012-10-22 2012-10-23 2012-10-29)],
},
'DEF1' = {
1 = { Name = 'Monday', Start = '9:00', End =
'17:30' },
2 = { Name = 'Tuesday', Start = '9:00', End =
'17:30' },
3 = { Name = 'Wednesday', Start = '9:00', End =
'17:30' },
holidays = [qw(2012-10-22 2012-10-24 2012-10-29)],
},
'DEF2' = {
1 = { Name = 'Monday', Start = '9:00', End =
'13:30' },
2 = { Name = 'Tuesday', Start = '9:00', End =
'13:30' },
3 = { Name = 'Wednesday', Start = '9:00', End =
'13:30' },
holidays = [qw(2012-10-21 2012-10-24 2012-10-29)],
},
);
In the CPAN file on
http://search.cpan.org/~tsibley/RT-Extension-SLA-0.07/lib/RT/Extension/SLA.pm#Configuring_business_hours
I cant find where the keywords, in my case DEF1, DEF2, etc reference
to. I assume it's to a group.
I want to accomplish the following.
To have more ServiceBusinessHours settings, for different countries
with different timezones, holidays and business hours.
I'm using Request Tracker 4.0.6 and RT-Extension-SLA-0.07.
Regards,
Joop.

I assume it's to a group. Not groups but queues. If you start reading at the top of the Configuration setting, it mentions queues, but perhaps not as prominently as it could: https://metacpan.org/module/RT::Extension::SLA#CONFIGURATION I tested it against queues but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe my configuration isn't correct. This is a test configuration.
