It could be some ARImport magic that's going on. If you have \r \t \n or such in your file, ARImport might see those as special characters, they are special characters in the ARX format, but they might be treated as such when you're importing CSV. To be sure you should escape those backslashes wit

Hi Rudolf, Relational integrity is not enforced on the database level, but through workflow. That is the reason why you do not see any relationships in the database. Basically you shouldn't have to worry about the DB as it is "just" the storage that Remedy uses for it's data (it's not specified h

I'm more fluent in Java so here's an example using edplus in addition to the Remedy Java API: http://edplus.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/example/ModifyEntry.java Using this code you could query for entries where status (field id 7) is 'New' and set the status to 'Assigned' (1) like this: java -cp .

To make installing patches easier, I always install the JDK ior JRE n a directory without the patch number, for example c:\jdk\1.4.2. This way when _12 or _13 comes out you don't have to change your environment variables (which makes sense, since you're keeping the same version). On unix you'd cou

He didn't say Mid-Tier doesn't work on Vista, what he's saying that it is not a supported configuration. Mid-Tier is currently working fine on an XP system, also not supported. Saying that developers will be "unable" to develop on Vista doesn't make sense at all and is most likely not true. A WUT

You might be safe using this for upgrades as long as the patch doesn't involve changing or updating the data dictionary. The "shared" option will not touch your database, assuming that some other install or patch has already "upgraded" the db, if needed. So for installing patches, I'd always use

There's one thing that you have to know when working with this feature. If you restart the server the "reserved" block gets lost for ever. So when you start with a fresh form, and have reserved 1000 entry id's, the first entry id will be 000...1. If you restart the server 999 entry id's ar e "lost

JBoss seems like a bit of overkill for just running Mid-Tier. JBoss is an Java EE application server, while Tomcat is a servlet container only. For Mid-Tier a servlet container is sufficient. As a sidenote, for Tomcat it is not needed to install a JDK. Installing the JRE is enough to run Tomcat. I

I haven't tested this, but you can try this: Make sure the Mid-Tier has a preference server set. Login using the usertool while using the same preference server. Set the timezone using the tools->options->locale tab of the user tool settings. That should have created a prefrence record for the us

Rick, I think the misunderstanding is that all clients fire the interval at the same time. This is not true, as there is no synchronisation between clients. What could be true (I haven't verified, but I can imagine), is that there's one "queue" that handles all interval activelinks, like the esca
