Hi Ron, Yes you are on the right track. You can just have the flag set by script instead of escalation and rest is same. As for the other options you are wondering to keep filters as it is or put the logic into the script, it is about the balance between performance gain and maintainability of

Hi Vamsi, I am liking option 1 below which you and Fredrick suggested. I am not a java or perl guy, but I'm sure I could find one here to work with. Question on this; the escalations that are firing are basically setting a flag field, (which in some cases is just the status field). That flag fie

Hi Axton, Good question. The server team has stated that they have frequent problems with this server. It often will just hang and requires a restart. Also, escalations tend to bottleneck and run behind for things like notifications. On the Database side,. DBA maintains that the database is n

I am curious what you were seeing on the original Windows escalation server that led you to believe that the server could not handle the load. Generally, the bottleneck for escalations is the database, especially when you start setting up lots of escalation pools. Axton Grams On Thu, Jun 14, 201

Ron, Remedy has escalations feature to support recurring tasks, it can be used to certain extent for bulk or mass updates. But the tool is not very scalable if you are talking about very bulky jobs or too many recurring jobs. Though I have not seen many people reaching to this extreme but every

Hi Vamsi Yes, BMC does raise concern in regards to the mixed OS. But they have not yet told us that is not supported. I agree that it would be best to be on the same OS. If we get good results with running escalations on Solaris, the plan is to eventually move all our ARs to Solaris. Yes, we a

The cleanest way you can do this is by using server group feature, from your description it seems you are already using that feature. I have worked on Windows,Solaris , Linux environments. But your scenario is tricky, as you are mixing windows arservers with solaris arserver. I have not seen

You could probably add some version of $SERVER$ = "hostname" into your escalation qualifications - therefore pinning the escalation to run on the "named server". -John -John On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 7:26 AM, Ron Tavares wrote: > ** > > Good Morning Listers, > > > > *The Problem:* > > We hav

Good Morning Listers, *The Problem:* We have lots of escalation traffic running on our system, which causes our current Windows Escalation server to be over-taxed. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to run escalations on more than one server at any given time. *Solution Attempted
