 Hello Listers,

 I'm working on a client requirement:
 People relationship on a child CI needs to be updated when a custom checkbox
 is filled out. I searched through previous posts and my filter and filter
 guide is based on a previous post on this forum:

 Filter OutsideLoopCG has a call guide action to call filter guide
 OutsideGuide.
 Filter guide OutsideGuide includes filters OutsideLoopFilter1 and
 InsideLoopCG.
 Filter InsideLoopCG calls filter guide InsideGuide.

 From the logs, I can see that each row on the Relationships table loops
 through each entry in the People table. However, only the last entry in the
 People table gets pushed through.

 I even postfix two special characters ( `! ) on the filters within the
 filter guide. But somehow only the last entry on the People table is pushed.
 Did I missed something? Your input is highly appreciated.

 Thanks!
 Tina

If I remember right you needed to set temp fields to the values of the
columns you wanted to push and push the temp fields instead.

Re: Filter Guide Loop within a Loop

2009-07-29 Thread Ben Chernys
That was a bug in an Active Link Table Loop (calling another guide) and the
work-around was indeed to set the row's data into temporary DO fields rather
than referencing the column field directly.  This bug was in the User Tool.
It seems to have been fixed in the 7.1 User Tool.  It may also have been
related to a table field using qualifications from a column in another table
field.

While there is nothing to prevent a bug with the same consequences occurring
in a filter loop, the chances are pretty slim as the code is completely
different - though indeed the coding style may be similar.

Logging will be your best bet to figure out what's going on.  It always is.

Cheers
Ben

Re: ARSystem Server 7.5 Installation Successful but not started

2009-07-29 Thread Carey Matthew Black
Kali,

I have not see those errors before, but here is my guess.

Maybe the installer did a poor job of updating the script with local values?

I would check the contents of the
_server_install_location_/bin/arsystem script. See if you can find the
string CHANGE_CONFDIR in that file. If you can... then well... it
seems wrong to me.


Also verify that the armonitor.conf file looks ok. (normally in a
places like /etc/arsystem/_your_hostname_/armonitor.conf)
  You looking for what script(s) armonitor is starting.
  Verify that the arserverd process exists where armonitor.conf says
it should.

HTH. Good luck.

Re: Perl Question

2009-07-29 Thread Joseph Kasell
Carey,

Appreciate the info.  I knew about the ARSPerl site and went there for
assistance on the install and also to look at code examples.  That and this
board have been very helpful...especially of late.  We have an initiative
to push more people into using Remedy here, which is great.  The only bad
thing is that we also had a reorg and I lost one of my developers, so I
have been having to do more with less.  It's been quite the challenge.

Thanks again!

You will find some help for ARSPerl on ARSList.
However you may find more help on the ARSPerl mailing list(s) too.
  https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/arsperl-users

Hope that helps some in the future. :)

Just to be clear, if the question is ARS related then ARSList is a
good place to ask it.(Even if your actual problem is a Perl/Java
issue. If it is directly ARS related.. then bring in on. :) ) However
there are also more specialized places to ask detailed niche ARS
questions too. (ARSPerl's list is only one of the other more specific
ARS sites that I can think of.)

Re: SSRS AR ODBC Compatibility

We are currently using SSRS in SQL 2000 against our Remedy 6.3 database.
We stopped using Crystal because, being a Microsoft shop, the powers
that be wanted to use Microsoft's SSRS. I don't do that report
developing because we already had individuals trained in SSRS but there
are a number of reports currently being generated. I do not know how
they are connecting to the database so I cannot say whether or not it is

Re: SSRS AR ODBC Compatibility

2009-07-29 Thread Craig Carter
We've been using SSRS for years with AR System.  Although we don't use the 
ARODBC driver, I don't see any reason why you couldn't--we just chose not to so 
we don't have to worry about Remedy permissions affecting our report content.  
Our report access is controlled via Windows authentication and roles so we 
don't need our reports filtering data based on Remedy permissions.  You will 
want to set up a read-only login within the database to use with your report 
connection.

We used SSRS version 2000 (AR v6x) and are now running v2005 against AR v7x 
without any problems.  We just use the standard SQL connection.  If you are 
making a direct connection to the database and pulling report data, how can it 
not be compatible?  What they are probably telling you is they do not provide 
support for it so you are on your own.  Personally, it's a very easy product to 
use, has real nice flexibility and capability especially considering it is free 
with your SQL Server license.  We use it both on the web and on the back-end 
via direct URL calls and usually render the reports automatically in PDF or 
Excel format.  You can also have the report come up in the reporting interface 
for them to enter/select parameters.  There is only one instance where we use 
Crystal Reports and that is where we need fully-justified text which SSRS does 
not yet support.  Since it is a User Tool report, the included Crystal DLL 
supports that.  Everywhere else (over 150 reports) is all SSRS.

One thing you will need to do if you do not use the ARODBC driver is to create 
a set of functions for date conversions, etc.  We have a set we developed to go 
back and forth between integer and various date formats.  You will also need to 
convert any attribute menus and status fields to their clear-text values.  We 
do some of that within the report query (SQL statement) and some within the 
reports using IIF.  We've also stressed the use of character menus versus 
attribute menus in all new development to simplify report delivery.  I 
recommend you use the ARODBC driver initially because it is less work and you 
don't need to perform all of the extra conversions within SQL, the report, or 
using functions/stored procedures.  We did use the ARODBC driver initially and 
it did work.

SW00299842 Disposition (In QA) Fixed AR System 7.1 Server Workflow

problem with server side table loop using filter guide

SW00215315 Disposition (Verified) Fixed AR System 6.00.01 Server
problem with server side table loop using filter guide
Performance 
I have a problem where I am using filter guides to loop through server-side
table fields.  There are 2 loops (i.e. an inner loop nested within an outer
loop).
The outer loop on a table in Form A does a push-fields to create a record
in Form B. 

I'm implementing this in 7.1. The 7.1 defect doesn't seem to apply to my
requirement but SW00259718 for v7.01 seems like a fit. Have anyone
successfully implemented an inner loop nested without an outer loop in v7.1?

Also, what does Disposition = Verified, Resolution = Fixed mean? Does this
mean it's included in a patch?

Thanks.

Re: Blocking request for editing by another user

2009-07-29 Thread Opela, Gary L CTR USAF AFMC 72 CS/SCBAH
Create a field on the form, and a button.

The button will show Lock/Unlock.

The basic premise will be that users can lock or unlock a ticket. If a
ticket is unlocked, then the button will display Lock. If the ticket is
locked, then button will display Unlock.

If a user hits the Lock button, then their userid and a timestamp is
placed in the field, then a commit changes is done. Now, they have
control of the ticket.

If the next user comes in and opens the same ticket, workflow that runs
on window open or loaded will check to see if that field is empty. If it
is not, and if the current user is not the user in the field, then
remedy knows the ticket is locked, and will present the user a message
to inform them that XXX has locked this ticket on YYY date/time. The
active link will also change most/all of the fields to read only.

You will also need to have a group of people that can force an unlock,
in the event someone has gone home leaving a ticket locked. You might
also create an escalation that will go through each night and unlock
tickets that have been locked for XXX number of days. Also, whenever a
ticket is moved into your terminal status, be it fixed, resolved,
closed, whatever, then you will need to unlock it so your normal
workflow that works with closed tickets will work properly.

Yup,

Sorry about that - Yahoo had a problem at that time and kept prompting me that 
the message was not sent with a resend button that I clicked about 4 times 
before it finally sent but it looks like it accepted all the 4 or 5 other

Re: Filter Guide Loop within a Loop

Yes, i see it's performing the push actions out of phase and for each entry
in the Relationship tab, it does a push to the 3 different People entries I
have in the AST:AssetPeople form. And the outer loop goes through each row
in the Relationship table and the inner loop does a table walk in the People
table. Only thing is the last entry in the People table gets pushed through
in the Child CIs.

 Hello Listers,
 
 I'm working on a client requirement: 
 People relationship on a child CI needs to be updated when a custom 
 checkbox is filled out. I searched through previous posts and my 
 filter and filter guide is based on a previous post on this forum:
 
 Filter OutsideLoopCG has a call guide action to call filter guide 
 OutsideGuide.
 Filter guide OutsideGuide includes filters OutsideLoopFilter1 and 
 InsideLoopCG.
 Filter InsideLoopCG calls filter guide InsideGuide. 
 
 From the logs, I can see that each row on the Relationships table 
 loops through each entry in the People table. However, only the last 
 entry in the People table gets pushed through.
 
 I even postfix two special characters ( `! ) on the filters within the 
 filter guide. But somehow only the last entry on the People table is 
 pushed.
 Did I missed something? Your input is highly appreciated. 
 
 Thanks!
 Tina

Re: Blocking request for editing by another user

2009-07-29 Thread Rick Cook
No. The standard way is that multiple people can check out copies of the 
original. The problem with that is that the first person to save changes to 
their copy updates the original without updating the other copies. 

That means that subsequent users saving their copies will see a message asking 
them if they want to basically overwrite the first person's changes with their 
own. I think you already see the potential problems with that. 

My personal preference would be to work on the business practices around 
assignments and group memberships to minimize the incidence of duplicate 
modifiers of the same record.

Hello Andrey,

Set up a flag that gets updated with a direct SQL with the LoginID of the 
person who first opened the ticket, the moment the first person opens the 
ticket for editing, and display a warning that the ticket is being edited by 
another user if some other user opens the same ticket..

Reset this flag to null the  moment the first user closes or saves the ticket.

That may be the quickest and dirtiest way of doing it.

I quite often, as suggested by other posters, pull the values I want out of
column and set them into DO fields, then do the push from those fields
instead of the columns, if that doesn't do what you are expecting, you may
have a logic problem in your workflow.

but we want to make sure that this issue is resolved before we upgrade

server and not any other ITSM applications since we do not use them.
We are currently on AIX 5.3 and Oracle 10g.

Storing MSDN licenses in the CMDB

2009-07-29 Thread Pierson, Shawn
Good morning,

We're working on getting client software into the CMDB, including tracking 
licenses and contracts in Asset Management.  The problem is that we have run 
into a situation that doesn't quite fit into what we are trying to do.

Here's the scenario.  Let's say we own 200 Visio 2007 licenses, and have that 
on its own Contract with a license key or keys that we use for that.  
Everything works fine, and we have our processes in place to maintain that data.

The issue starts when we bring MSDN into play.  According to the MSDN 
agreement, each person that holds an MSDN contract has the right to install one 
copy of Visio 2007, amongst many other applications.  Obviously, the people who 
have MSDN licenses have admin rights to their PCs so they can install Visio at 
will.  When we run our audits, the discovery software just knows that Visio 
2007 is installed, not that it appears to be a part of MSDN.  So that one MSDN 
licensed version of Visio 2007 causes us to appear to be out of compliance with 
Microsoft.

My thought was to create separate contracts for MSDN, but it is impractical 
because you would have to create one contract for each piece of software that 
each MSDN user can potentially install.  So there is an overabundance of data.  
Then, there is no way to force the user to tie the CI of Visio that is on their 
machine to the MSDN Visio 2007 for Shawn Pierson contract, and if they don't 
manually tie it, the system will probably just attach them to the primary 
contract.

How do you all deal with tracking MSDN licenses?  Is there a simple way that I 
just haven't seen yet?

Thanks,

Shawn Pierson

We see that error all the time when we are shutting down the ARS

Re: Storing MSDN licenses in the CMDB

2009-07-29 Thread Rick Cook
Shawn, what if you made MSDN a separate software package or suite, which
would then contain separate Visio, etc. products.  You might have to create
separate products in the DSL for MSDN and non-MSDN, if they don't exist
already.

Might also have to add an attribute to track a user's MSDN
eligibility/membership, but that doesn't seem very complex.

 **  Good morning,

 We’re working on getting client software into the CMDB, including tracking
 licenses and contracts in Asset Management.  The problem is that we have run
 into a situation that doesn’t quite fit into what we are trying to do.

 Here’s the scenario.  Let’s say we own 200 Visio 2007 licenses, and have
 that on its own Contract with a license key or keys that we use for that.
 Everything works fine, and we have our processes in place to maintain that
 data.

 The issue starts when we bring MSDN into play.  According to the MSDN
 agreement, each person that holds an MSDN contract has the right to install
 one copy of Visio 2007, amongst many other applications.  Obviously, the
 people who have MSDN licenses have admin rights to their PCs so they can
 install Visio at will.  When we run our audits, the discovery software just
 knows that Visio 2007 is installed, not that it appears to be a part of
 MSDN.  So that one MSDN licensed version of Visio 2007 causes us to appear
 to be out of compliance with Microsoft.

 My thought was to create separate contracts for MSDN, but it is impractical
 because you would have to create one contract for each piece of software
 that each MSDN user can potentially install.  So there is an overabundance
 of data.  Then, there is no way to force the user to tie the CI of Visio
 that is on their machine to the “MSDN Visio 2007 for Shawn Pierson”
 contract, and if they don’t manually tie it, the system will probably just
 attach them to the primary contract.

 How do you all deal with tracking MSDN licenses?  Is there a simple way
 that I just haven’t seen yet?

 Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

We keep seeing the below error in our arerror.log.  We have already verified
that we have enough memory allocated and we have increased our thread
counts.  BMC technical support cannot seem to help us and
we have done everything that was suggested in forums.   We have
upgraded 3 test servers from 6.3 to 7.1 and all of them are displaying
the same error.   There are no other errors showing up in our
armonitor.logs either.  We are not seeing any issues while logged in, but we
want to make sure that this issue is resolved before we upgrade
our production server.   We know that ARERR 8747 is also a false
error so that is not helping us either.  We have only upgraded the server
and not any other ITSM applications since we do not use them.
We are currently on AIX 5.3 and Oracle 10g.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Disable Red X

2009-07-29 Thread Brittain, Mark
Hi All,

Is there a way to disable the close window X in the upper right corner of  a 
dialog?

Depending one of several sets of criteria, when a ticket is closed, a dialog 
window opens asking a series of Yes/No questions before they can save the 
ticket. Problem is the users are using the X in the upper right hand corner to 
close the dialog window which breaks the workflow.

Because of the many criteria's used I really don't want to have to add a field 
like Questions Answered since it might conflict with those users who don't 
need to answer the questions.

Hello Andrey,

Set up a flag that gets updated with a direct SQL with the LoginID of the
person who first opened the ticket, the moment the first person opens the
ticket for editing, and display a warning that the ticket is being edited
by another user if some other user opens the same ticket..

Reset this flag to null the  moment the first user closes or saves the
ticket.

That may be the quickest and dirtiest way of doing it.

Re: Trying to use BackChannel (AR Mid-Tier v7.0)

2009-07-29 Thread grenadaguy
Thanks for the encouragement, I am indeed tempted to raise it with the server
administrators via a different route as a result. My first attempt via my
manager who has some degree of responsibility with the system just got
stonewalled - I suspect that Web Services aren't used within the
organisation at present and they have no inclination to do so.

Before doing so, I tried 2 things, one was to use HelpDesk_Modify_Service to
see if doing a subseqent modify after create would activate the incident
somehow. The response I got to this was ARERR [8961] Required element
expected in the input XML document (actually the element mentioned:
Categorization_Tier_1 was present). This led me to the discussion in
http://www.mail-archive.com/arslist@arslist.org/msg43177.html which is on
similar lines to the issue Harry described.

I also tried making a number of fields in the original
HelpDesk_Submit_Service empty and found only Status and Action needed to be
there to get a response with the incident number. Not sure what to conclude
from this apart that nothing can be inferred about the completeness or
otherwise of the fully populated request I was originally testing with.

Mark,

Not exactly broken, your code to open the ticket from the
HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WS form could be perfect.   But if your
HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WS form was a copy of the
HPD_IncidentInterface_Create with some tweaking for the Web Service,
then it is going to look for an entry in the Operational Catalog Setup
form.

Yes, I believe that you are stuck until you get help from someone with
administrative access.  It may be all you need is have them create an
entry in the Operational Catalog Setup form and your done. And I think
there is a good chance of that because you have confirmation that an
interface record was created.

If further diagnoses is needed, the Remedy admin will have to do some
filter and active link logging to see at which point the creation of the
HPD:Helpedsk record fails.

Personally, I find it amazing and admirable that you have gone to this
extent to come up with your solution. I'm happy when someone has done a
tenth of the work you have toward defining what they want and working on
a solution.  Hopefully your admin/developer/support person feels the
same way and helps you finish this off quickly.

From the user's desktop, single-right-click on any blank spot.
Single-left-click on Properties
Single-left-click on Settings
Single-left-click on Advanced

If the DPI Settings isn't Normal Size (96 DPI) change it to Normal size.

You'll probably have to reboot.

Performance 
I have a problem where I am using filter guides to loop through server-side
table fields.  There are 2 loops (i.e. an inner loop nested within an outer
loop).
The outer loop on a table in Form A does a push-fields to create a record
in Form B. 

I'm implementing this in 7.1. The 7.1 defect doesn't seem to apply to my
requirement but SW00259718 for v7.01 seems like a fit. Have anyone
successfully implemented an inner loop nested without an outer loop in v7.1?

mean it's included in a patch?

 Filter OutsideLoopCG has a call guide action to call filter guide

 Filter guide OutsideGuide includes filters OutsideLoopFilter1 and
 InsideLoopCG.
 Filter InsideLoopCG calls filter guide InsideGuide.

 From the logs, I can see that each row on the Relationships table loops
 through each entry in the People table. However, only the last entry in
 the
 People table gets pushed through.

 I even postfix two special characters ( `! ) on the filters within the
 filter guide. But somehow only the last entry on the People table is
 pushed.
 Did I missed something? Your input is highly appreciated.

Re: Upgrade issues with 7.1

I turned off logging and then deleted the arerror.log.  I then

 Yes, I agree with Fredrick, turn off your workflow logging (filter, api,
 etc) and then restart...I would not expect that error if you don't have
 logging turned on at startup/shutdown...

 We see that error all the time when we are shutting down the ARS binaries.
 It is due to the fact that the thread that does the logging is closed before
 the other threads.  Stop the app and delete the arerror.log file.  When you
 restart the app check if you still receive the error.

 Hi Everyone,

 We keep seeing the below error in our arerror.log.  We have already verified

 we have done everything that was suggested in forums.   We have
 upgraded 3 test servers from 6.3 to 7.1 and all of them are displaying

 We are currently on AIX 5.3 and Oracle 10g.

 Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Getting the Request ID for a web service on submit

2009-07-29 Thread Jason Miller
Getting the Request ID for a web service on submit



We have an appliance that sends notifications to IP phones using Cisco UCM
via a web service from Remedy to the appliance.  The issue we are running
into is that the web service call is done in a set fields action and the
Request ID is not available in phase 1 on create.  There is no issue calling
the web service during a modify.



The options I have considered are:



1.   Set the web service filter to only fire on modify and doing a push
field to the record that was just created to trigger web service.  I don’t
want to retrigger all of the other filters that just fired when the request
was submitted.



2.   We could push the record to another form that would call the web
service.  This isn’t too much trouble but I would like to avoid building a
form just for this (even though it could be reused as a web service
interface form).



3.   Create an escalation that will set the flag field, triggering the
web service call after the ticket is created.  Again this would fire all of
the filters just to send the info to the appliance, we already have a ton of
escalations I don’t want to add another one if we don’t have to, and there
would a delay in the notification being sent.



How are other people handing sending the Request ID to a web service on
submit?  So far option 2 is looking like the best one.



Thanks,
Jason

If you add a display only field to the form, push a value to that field, as in 
option 1, and then have your web service filter trigger on that field being 
set, you could avoid having all your other filters fire again.  You'd have to 
update the other filters to not fire if that new DO field is set, but it would 
still be doable, and you'd avoid having to create another form.

Hi All,

Is there a way to disable the close window X in the upper right corner of  a 
dialog?

Depending one of several sets of criteria, when a ticket is closed, a dialog 
window opens asking a series of Yes/No questions before they can save the 
ticket. Problem is the users are using the X in the upper right hand corner to 
close the dialog window which breaks the workflow.

Because of the many criteria's used I really don't want to have to add a field 
like Questions Answered since it might conflict with those users who don't 
need to answer the questions.

Re: Install Asset onto a working Incident/Problem/Change system?

2009-07-29 Thread Charles Baldi
An update.  Apparently there were some fundamental errors during the
original install of Incident that were not caught and corrected by that
team.  These errors were specifically in the area of integration with
Asset/CMDB.  The BMC-supported direction is a ground-up rebuild, which we
are doing.

So, not a trivial solution but we have a plan.  Thanks to those who helped.

 This is a development system, but we are prepping for an Asset install into

 I wonder if it is the authentication between the CMDB processes and
 ARServer.  Any thoughts?  Pending feedback from BMC, I will be trying to
 poke things with cmdbdriver to see if I get a different response.  I will
 also try re-applying CMDB 2.1 patch 4 again to.  I have good backups so
 getting to a known state is not a problem.

 The SHR:Schema Names is not a meta data table so the AR System server

 all because the AST:BaseElement form does not exist.  I cannot find a def

 built from the CMDB through the Sync Asset UI process (cmdbdriver) which is

 The contents of your Share Application Properties form may be prompting

 If you choose the route to clear those entries, I would suggest that

   So when I try to install Asset, I get 60 failed objects under the
 ast component and the culprit appears to be that the system is unable to
 create AST:BaseElement.  If I try to force the creation using Sync Asset 
 UI,
 I get the cryptic logs:

 Start processing of form AST:BaseElement

 Will fetch display infor for form AST:BaseElement
 Will make the new Form AST:BaseElement that is an inner join on
 BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement
 Failed to create Form for: AST:BaseElement
 Form does not exist on server
 AST:BaseElement

 Of course the AST:BaseElement does not exist, that is why I am creating
 it!  Has anyone seen this before or have suggestions on how to fix this?

 - I am logged-in as Demo with proper (administrator) privs
 - I confirm that Demo can create forms
 - I tried forcing things by creating a fake AST:BaseElement form

 I still get the can't create message.  Have a call in with BMC but no

Hi All - I am trying to save a search on my Mid Tier client but the Searches
button is not displaying.

 

On my mid tier config screen I have my ARS server in the Preference
Server(s), Data Visualization Module Server(s), Homepage Server, 
Authentication Server.  They all say the same server name.  I have verified
that the AR System Searches Preference is installed.

 

What else do I need to do to make this button show up?

aradmin entry and  select from it. When I use the exact same permissions
on the Production server the 
aradmin choice is now not visible in the selections on the left pane of

Error 4918 in Modify action reply

2009-07-29 Thread James Rubarth-Lay
I am setting up HTML formatted Assignment notification messages 
(Notification Message Tag=HPD-INC-GroupAssignment) in ITSM. Although the 
reply message contains the Request ID label/value pair, the Email Engine 
is returning error 4918 Missing Action Parameter with Appended Text 
Request ID. The action is Modify. I have tried this using Outlook 
2003, Outlook 2007 and OWA as mail clients.


The intent is to set field 'z1D Action' in form HPD:IncidentInterface to 
ASSIGN. A custom filter will handle setting the incident to In 
Progress and assign it to the support staff member who responds.


Any idea why a Modify action is returning an error?

Messages form in response to message generated by notification engine:

2.  The user is not modifying any field values, adding new actions, or 
modifying existing actions when replying to the email that contains the 
modify action, nor is th Modify key modified.

3.  The security key is valid.
4.  The incoming mailbox is configured to allow modifications. I have

Hi All,

 

Is there a way to disable the close window X in the upper right corner
of  a dialog?

 

Depending one of several sets of criteria, when a ticket is closed, a
dialog window opens asking a series of Yes/No questions before they can
save the ticket. Problem is the users are using the X in the upper right
hand corner to close the dialog window which breaks the workflow.

 

Because of the many criteria's used I really don't want to have to add a
field like Questions Answered since it might conflict with those users
who don't need to answer the questions.

that team.  These errors were specifically in the area of

Yes, same errors when importing manually.  Fundamentally these are  
all because the AST:BaseElement form does not exist.  I cannot find  
a def file that imports this and I believe that is because it is  
expected to be built from the CMDB through the Sync Asset UI process

2009-07-29 Thread Wilson, Harry
Since you mentioned the preference server, these are the first two
places I would look.

1) From User, check tools\options\display to be sure they have not
changed the font for a field or two.  (I have had users do this).

2) From the form AR System User Preference, check that the user does not
values on the display tab or if you are using values on this page, that
they have the same values as everyone else.  Twice, I have ended up with
values in those normally blank fields (blank for us, anyway).

From the user's desktop, single-right-click on any blank spot.
Single-left-click on Properties

Single-left-click on Advanced
Single-left-click on General tab
If the DPI Settings isn't Normal Size (96 DPI) change it to Normal

 Yes, same errors when importing manually.  Fundamentally these are  
 all because the AST:BaseElement form does not exist.  I cannot find  
 a def file that imports this and I believe that is because it is  
 expected to be built from the CMDB through the Sync Asset UI process  
 (cmdbdriver) which is failing to create the form.

 Good suggestion, but the installer is not failing.  It completes

 So when I try to install Asset, I get 60 failed objects under the

 unable to create AST:BaseElement.  If I try to force the creation  
 using Sync Asset UI, I get the cryptic logs:

 Of course the AST:BaseElement does not exist, that is why I am

A Verified disposition means that the resolution provided by Dev was verified

Fixed, though, means it's a code fix.  

Verified does not, itself, specify in what delivery vehicle the resolution 
will be provided.  Your BMC Support person would have additional information on 
the target release for the resolution since (at this time) it isn't published

many times the next major, minor or maintenance release of AR System.  Patches

problem with server side table loop using filter guide

SW00215315 Disposition (Verified) Fixed AR System 6.00.01 Server
problem with server side table loop using filter guide
Performance 
I have a problem where I am using filter guides to loop through server-side
table fields.  There are 2 loops (i.e. an inner loop nested within an outer
loop).
The outer loop on a table in Form A does a push-fields to create a record
in Form B. 

I'm implementing this in 7.1. The 7.1 defect doesn't seem to apply to my
requirement but SW00259718 for v7.01 seems like a fit. Have anyone
successfully implemented an inner loop nested without an outer loop in v7.1?

Also, what does Disposition = Verified, Resolution = Fixed mean? Does this
mean it's included in a patch?

Thanks.

 Hello Listers,

 I'm working on a client requirement:
 People relationship on a child CI needs to be updated when a custom
 checkbox
 is filled out. I searched through previous posts and my filter and filter
 guide is based on a previous post on this forum:

 Filter OutsideLoopCG has a call guide action to call filter guide
 OutsideGuide.
 Filter guide OutsideGuide includes filters OutsideLoopFilter1 and
 InsideLoopCG.
 Filter InsideLoopCG calls filter guide InsideGuide.

 From the logs, I can see that each row on the Relationships table loops
 through each entry in the People table. However, only the last entry in
 the
 People table gets pushed through.

 I even postfix two special characters ( `! ) on the filters within the
 filter guide. But somehow only the last entry on the People table is
 pushed.
 Did I missed something? Your input is highly appreciated.

 Thanks!
 Tina

Re: Install Asset onto a working Incident/Problem/Change system?

2009-07-29 Thread Charles Baldi
No, it appears that the errors were not seen and dealt with.  My suspicion
is that since the apps were installed on a non C: drive that the TEMP/TMP
ENV variables were not set to point to the install disk and some components
failed.  That's the best I can tell from what logs remain.  I'm surprised
that there weren't more obvious operational failures.

ITSM 7.1, Incident form, dialogs, and hidden menu bar menus

2009-07-29 Thread Phillips, Richard I CTR USA
ITSM 7.1

I'm familiar with Users selecting a value from a menu bar menu on a
regular form, and having an A/L fire.  

How does an A/L fire when the menu bar menu is hidden, and the form is a
dialog?

Here's my scenario:  When a user selects an Incident template to create
an INC, the following A/L fires:

HPD:INC:SelectTemplate_110_SetDescription

It executes on Button/Menu Item 'z3Btn Select Template'.

'z3Btn Select Template' is not a button, but appears to be a menu bar
item.  It's associated with HPD:Helpdesk dialog views only (but dialog
windows have no menu bars).  

Additionally, 'z3Btn Select Template' is 'not in any view'.  The only
HPD:Helpdesk form views with menu bar menus have them hidden, but
enabled.

How does this A/L get fired?

Thanks,

Rick
