The filter would be a good idea but in our situation we are using BMC Analytics for reporting, which goes directly against the database via a SQL driver rather than through the Remedy ODBC driver. It also has what Business Objects calls a derived table for permissions that I may need to modify

Multi-tenancy isn’t really designed in such a way that it could be used for this because we had to basically give everyone “Unrestricted Access”. Unfortunately, multi-tenancy is pretty useless if you’re using SRM unless you’re a big fan of creating duplicates of every single thing that is

That’s a pretty good idea. I had two others that I could do as a “last resort” if for some reason setting the row-level security didn’t work the way I expect. One is to create a field that only the assigned group has access to called “Confidential Notes” or something like that, but your idea

Thanks for the suggestion, John. The image does not have a border. The image was uploaded to SRM via the Service Request Marketing Slide Management page. I'm asking if anyone with SRM experience has run into this issue and how they went about fixing it. Thanks, Marcelo -Original

BMC should have made upgrades easier - Customers loosing interests

Hi List, BMC made the upgrade process so complex that customer are scared to upgrade to new versions. Upgrade is eating almost a year to move to 8.1 with data migrations and all integrations. In the past we used to upgrade on the existing server only which was easy but there was a risk in

Marcelo- I think if you can show source code in your browser and snip out the section that is displaying the image in question that someone on the list would better be able to help you figure out a solution. There has to be some sort of formatting applied that is causing the blue border (it

I know we are talking about Remedy vs ServiceNow, what about other large apps like PeopleSoft or SAP. Not one to defend the BMC upgrade process, but as we know customization or integrations always throw a wrench in to any upgrade. I do wonder how the zero downtime upgrade works with

If it were easy to do, people like us wouldn't have jobs. You have to keep in mind that with Service Now your customizations are done with Java, not a nice GUI like ARS. When Service Now promises you a Zero Down Time migration we all know that there is still the long implementation path to work

I'll step in to defend BMC in this regard, acknowledging that I've had issues with various decisions that BMC has made in the past. However, we are running ITSM 8.1 in production, and it was a lot easier than going to 7.6.4 from an earlier hybrid 7.x version that we had. To be clear, with

I have seen the service now UI, they have everything on singe UI say user access, import and export, workflow development. UI is mot attractive and its very clumsy. Its very though for the non programmers to develop workflows or do customizations as at some point you need to know java
