Re: BMC Remedy Product Documentation Filenames

Is there anyway to get a direct link or instructions on how to find
the bulk zip? One of my big gripes is how difficult it is to find
anything on BMCs website -- even when you know the file that you
want.

Thanks  Regards,

 the master index.   If you download those files and put them all in the

 Hi, David Easter and Fellow Listers:

 I'm sure this question has been posed before.  I've noticed that for at
 least the past year that all of the product document PDFs have numbers
 for filenames.  Although, I will always have a preference for the dark
 ages of books, I've adapted to the PDF format.

 In previous versions I liked the convenience of using the Master Index
 to search for a topic, click on the topic result, and auto-open the
 related product pdf on the exact page of the topic.  This feature no
 longer works because all of the references in the Master Index are now
 invalid.

 Do you know if there are any plans to change the file name format to
 match the titles in the Master Index in the near future?

 Thank you as always for listening
 Michelle

ITSM 5 status history q

2007-10-08 Thread Barber, Dave
All,
 
I'm sure I'm going to have a major d'oh! moment on this one.
 
This is on the v5 apps - which field is the status history stored in?
Thats the time set to new/assigned/wip/pending/resolved/closed?  I
haven't had to look into this field for years.  Got a user wanting a
time it takes to resolve a ticket ... minus the time it was at pending.
Its probably not going to be accurate at all, but what the user wants,
the user gets, albeit with a warning of the potentially dubious accuracy
of the data.

ARSystem 7.1 / Itanium

2007-10-08 Thread Kevin Murray
HI All,

Long'ish shot given how new 7.1 is.but:

1) Are you running ARSystem 7.1 on the Itanium platform (OS: HP 11i v2
or v3) through the ARIES emulator today?
2) If so, Is it your Production environment or not? How has it
performed so far using bespoke app or (any) OOTB application? Do you
do any benchmarking before the move? and what were the results (if
your permitted to share)
3) If not currently on an Itanium platform, Does your organisation
have plans to go to it in the short-term (6 mths)?

Any comments in this space welcome.

Thanks In Advance,
Kevin

Re: Attention people licensing 7.1 on a Linux server

2007-10-08 Thread Moore, Chris
Hey David- thanks for the follow-up.

 

We don't have a defect ID.  The tech we were on the phone with included
a note he would be looking into the issue.  Here is the work note he put
in after our webex:

 

Phone Call - Outbound to BOB MILLER 

Held a Webex with Bob Miller, Charles and Chris. Charles and Chris are
the engineers while Bob is the project manager.

 

Charles showed me the error he was getting whenever he applied the
licenses using the User Tool. He told me that they were getting this
error regardless of the license they tried to apply. Sudipta from the
licensing support team had provided them a temporary license and even
this one did not work. This was a new Red Hat Linux server, where they
installed AR Server 7.1. I told Chris that I was able to successfully
applied a license on a Redhat Linux, but I had used the Admin on 7.0.1
tool to do this. He said he had tried the Admin tool on 6.3 an dhad
gotten the same error. He then quicly installed the 7.0.1 Admin tool and
applied the license and sure enough it worked! He then went and applied
the permanant non-expiring license and that also worked just fine.
Interesting!!

 

They were happy in getting the server license, there were a couple more
questions and I told them I would provide them information on the
following issues.

1. On the Admin licenses window (form), why does the format show 6.0?
What does this mean?

2. Why doesn't the 7.1 User tool work for applying the license? I was
going to try it and see if I got the same error.

 

Get back to them with these answers.

 

The issue number was ISS03180336.  If you got it to work using the 7.1
user client then I suppose we still have an issue that could be specific
to us, but with a work around of using the older admin tool.

FYI, I followed up with development on this issue and we couldn't
duplicate it in house.  Adding or upgrading a valid license (i.e. not
expired) through the Administration Console to an AR System 7.1.00
server running on Linux worked just fine. 

 

Do you have a defect number logged against your issue?  I'd like to
ensure that the information you posted applies to all customers or
perhaps identify that this was a unique situation for you.

I also saw your previous post about this issue.  We had the same issue
you described with the key is not valid for this server followed by
the BMC Software hereby grants licensee... messages except we are
running Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2005.  It turned out that
when we purged our license from our old 6.3 server, the new license
generated for our 7.1 server showed the Number of Licenses as 3.  BMC
Support regenerated our license key with Number of Licenses as 1 and
it worked just fine.

We've had an issue open with BMC for a couple of weeks now because we
could not get a license applied on our Red Hat 5 server.  As you know,
you have to use the User tool to apply licenses in 7.1.  We'd input the
information, get a warning that the key was not valid for the server,
then a conformation that BMC herby grants use of... making it look
like it was accepted.

 

We found out it wasn't when we tried to install Incident and the def
file for City was failing because of the 2000 max record limitation.

 

BMC sent a few different keys, none of which worked.  

 

Today, a BMC rep asked if we had tried using the admin tool to apply the
licenses.  I told him I had tried our 6.3 admin tool and got the same
error.  He said he had done it with the 7.0.1 admin tool and it worked,
so we downloaded it and they took.

 

Apparently there is some sort of bug with Linux servers and the user
tool licensing.  If anyone is planning to upgrade to 7.1 on a Linux
server,

Are the field label and DB name the same for Assigned Group?  If they
are different you will want to make sure to use the DB name in the table
qualification.  The label name will work if searching from the form
itself but you need the DB name for the table qualification.  Try
copying the search string to the table qualification and see if it
works.  Hope that makes sense.

Re: Incident Management installation failure

2007-10-08 Thread Joe D'Souza
Siraj,

Make sure you have your development cache mode turned on before you kick
your install. If I am not mistaken someone else had this issue where the
files were seen but the installation reported errors similar to you, and it
turned out to be that problem.

If that isn't your problem, another potential issue could be permissions on
these files. Is this a non root install and does the user that is being used
to run the installation have sufficient permissions to the directories under
/apps/Remedy/tt1bv and its sub directories?

No double quotes around the entire qual; use the field db name and not
the field label in the qual.  Looks like you are using the field
label, probably because you created the qual using the advanced search
bar.

  I am trying to have a table populate based on a drop-down field selection.



  I have created a temp field (zTmpHiddenTableQual) to hold the qualification
 statement.

  This field gets set by an active link that fires when making a selection
 from a drop-down menu.

  The active link is firing and the qualification statement is getting set
 into the temp field.

  The second action on the active link does a change field that refreshes the
 table.



  I have the table properties qualification set like this:  EXTERNAL(
 $zTmpHiddenTableQual$)



  The value in the zTmpHiddenTableQual field does contain a valid
 qualification statement, but the table is blank.



  The value in the zTmpHiddenTableQual is : '*Assigned Group' = SIA_Config,
 which if pasted in the advanced qualification bar for the referenced form
 returns the values as expected.



  I thought I was setting up the way the documentation descibed, but I

2007-10-08 Thread Dave.ARSList
Hello lsiters,

Our users can create new tickets without any errors but when they try to
open an existing ticket, the get the error:

Caught exception :'t.LoadResultsList' is null or not an object error.

We are on ARS 7.0.01 Patch 003 with Tomcat midtier. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Dave.

Re: What's New 7.1?

2007-10-08 Thread Kelly Deaver
BMC only creates customer training for each major release. The assumption is 
that if you know 7.0 then the content of the release notes and manuals for 7.1 
should be sufficient to deal with the few changes. It isn't a major retooling 
of your knowledge. There is a PPT that covers what is new in AR System 7.1, 
CMDB 2.1 and Atrium Integration 7.1 which includes screen shots and such. It is 
posted on BMC Developer Network ( developer.bmc.com) but there is technical 
difficulty with a router today so I can't give you the URL. I'll send it as 
soon as I can get it.

Re: ARSystem 7.1 / Itanium

2007-10-08 Thread Shyam Attavar

Kevin,

Not sure I can answer your questions. But following was the thought process 
we had when we were considering moving to Itanium platform with HP 11i v2 a 
few months back:
- First, the support for this platform through an emulator, which in our 
opinion is not the best option from a performance perspective, especially in 
a production environment.
- Second, the complete new architecture of the Itanium platform (and its 
idiosyncrasies) + the support model for HP-UX not being the first tier from 
an OS perspective by BMC-Remedy
- Third, lack of skill set (being developed as I write this email) in our IT 
department for supporting applications in an Itanium environment.


Hence our decision to move to split architecture with Linux Cluster on the 
back-end for the Oracle Database, Windows 2003 Server for Remedy Server and 
Linux servers with load balancer for our mid-tier. We have been live on this 
for a few weeks and are very happy with the overall performance and HW 
configurations we chose for our setup.


HTH,

HI All,

Long'ish shot given how new 7.1 is.but:

1) Are you running ARSystem 7.1 on the Itanium platform (OS: HP 11i v2
or v3) through the ARIES emulator today?
2) If so, Is it your Production environment or not? How has it
performed so far using bespoke app or (any) OOTB application? Do you
do any benchmarking before the move? and what were the results (if
your permitted to share)
3) If not currently on an Itanium platform, Does your organisation
have plans to go to it in the short-term (6 mths)?

Any comments in this space welcome.

Thanks In Advance,
Kevin

** 
Michelle, glad to see you back on the list - I've missed you! 
 
Actually, if you're referring to recent patches like 7.0.1 p4, there was a 
documented bug on that very issue - a more recent version actually fixes 
the links and uses document names.  Not sure if that takes care of the 
version you're trying to use, but at least BMC is aware of the problem.

Hi, David Easter and Fellow Listers: 

I'm sure this question has been posed before.  I've noticed that for at 
least the past year that all of the product document PDFs have numbers for 
filenames.  Although, I will always have a preference for the dark ages of 
books, I've adapted to the PDF format. 

In previous versions I liked the convenience of using the Master Index to 
search for a topic, click on the topic result, and auto-open the related 
product pdf on the exact page of the topic.  This feature no longer works 
because all of the references in the Master Index are now invalid. 

Do you know if there are any plans to change the file name format to match 
the titles in the Master Index in the near future? 

Thank you as always for listening 
Michelle

HD 6.0 - Open Search in Modify Window not Results List

2007-10-08 Thread Sanford, Claire
On my old Remedy Helpdesk 4.03, when you had a chg:change window open in
search mode, and put in the Case ID and hit return, it would open a
new window with just the form you requested.  This was accomplished
using a macro from what I can tell.   CHG:CHG-ShowChange02

In the new Remedy Helpdesk 6.0, when you have a chg:change window open
in search mode, and put in the Case ID and hit return, it will open a
results list window with the form open below the list and no search
window open in the background.  

My users are complaining.  They want just the form to open up in a new
modify window with the search window still open behind it.

long, I have forgotten how.

Hello,
You could make an active link that does an Open Window action in a New
window.  It looks like the current workflow does a
PERFORM-ACTION-APPLY to run the search, so you may need to disable
that.

2007-10-08 Thread Rick Cook
Claire, there should be an open window command that you can tweak.  The nice
thing about them is that you can specify what type of window you want to
open, and whether you want results, details, or both displayed.

Turn on your AL logs, perform the action, and you should see which
workflow you need to look at.

You will have to disable the AL's that currently do what they are doing and
create your own AL's to open a new window in a modify mode by passing the
qualification where 'Request ID' = $Request ID$ if found - else a no match

Re: BMC Support -- A note from BMC

2007-10-08 Thread strauss
Thanks for the update on support, Doug.  It's nice to know you all are
keeping a finger on the pulse of your ARS community - David Easter's
presence on the list has been particularly beneficial to all.

While we are on the topic of the SupportWeb, are we ever going to see
the Remedy Knowledge Management product appear there as a supported
product, i.e. with the latest patches (see ISS03150692) and technical
bulletins/defect reports.  Since every version of it released over the
last several years has required large amounts of post-install cleanup,
either of erroneous files, incorrect field lengths, or conflicting api
files, etc., it is very hard to support when NONE of that is kept on the
SupportWeb.  The problems go way beyond the few customer advisories that
have been sporadically posted over in the documentation section, and
change significantly between releases.  No patch has ever appeared in
the Remedy Heritage Products download site, which is where I would
expect them to be.  The last patch support sent me in July they
apparently should NOT have, and it is still partially installed on one
of my environments.  It just seems as if this product is treated like
the red-headed stepchild of BMC, and that is unfortunate.  Even the ITSM
patches like to wipe out the hand-customization that it still requires
to integrate it with Incident and Problem Management. The people in that
unit are very knowledgeable, and have gone to great lengths in the past
to walk me through all of the manual fixes required, but that
information is not on supportweb, nor are their patches, nor is there
any indication that the ITSM developers consider it an integrated
application. If it is not on your list of support issues, please put it
there.

Try doing the Echo without a batch file.  A run process action of:

That's strange. I have had the output of ipconfig /all dumped to a field
with no problems..

 

Are you using the $PROCESS$ action of a set field to dump the value?

Joe,

I created the character field with 5 rows.  After further
testing I realized that it stopped writing to the file once it reached
the first space.  That tells me that it doesn't treat the character
field as a single input parameter, but rather looks at spaces as a
delimiter between multiple input parameters.  I'm debating whether to
create a loop inside the batch file that reads all input parameters and
reconstructs the file.

Make the character field as a multi-line field.. that might
work.

Norm,
Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried it, but I ran into a slight
problem.
Only one line in the character field was written to file.
Everything
past the first carriage return was lost.  Any suggestions to
write it
all at once without parsing the character field at the carriage
returns
and appending to the file?

Fred,

Thanks for your help.  I tried the Echo command previously without
success.  The command failed for me because I was missing the %ComSpec%
/c portion at the beginning.  Its working great now and I can get rid of
my batch file.

I believe your problem is because you are using a batch file

 

Since you are using an Active LInk I take it that you are wanting the
file written on the client PC.

 

Try doing the Echo without a batch file.  A run process action of:
%ComSpec% /c Echo $Character Field$  c:\temp\findme.txt

Maybe I over-simplified my test...

 

I have a Run Process Active Link action with the following string for

Something is setting the Submitter field to NULL while pushing information
to the SHR:Consolidated form. Filters modify value in the consolidated form,
so take a filter log to see what is trying to set the Submitter field to

Message not In catalog

2007-10-08 Thread Frank Caruso
On our production server only users are getting Message not in catalog:
Message number 623. These are actually users who do not have access to
Remedy. This happens in both the User tool and MidTier. I have checked all
of the other servers and the appropriate text for a 623 is displayed. I also
checked the arsystem.cat file on each server and all of them are the same
size, time stamp and location. I tried searching the file for the error
number but it appears to be a binary file.

Any thoughts on to resolve why I am not getting the text of the message
returned to the end users?

Capture HTML Source from a View Field

2007-10-08 Thread Mark Latta
Listers,

 

Has anyone tried to capture the contents of a View Field in Remedy?
Ideally I would like to capture the HTML text/source without having to
resort to an external process.  Setting a character field to the view
field only captures the URL.

arsystem.cat uses an approach to internationalization for message
catalogs.  Make sure that the locale on the server (LC_x env vars) for
the user that runs arserverd matches the location of the arsystem.cat
file.

OT-BMC's new product line, acquisition to complement business strategy

2007-10-08 Thread Sanford, Claire

BMC's new product line, acquisition to complement business strategy


By BRAD HEM
Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle 

Houston-based BMC Software announced a new product line and acquisition
today aimed at complementing the company's strategy of making
information technology operations more efficient.

Company IT departments spend more than 70 percent of their time
maintaining their technology infrastructure as opposed to finding ways
for technology to improve how it does business, according to a Forrester
Research survey.

The launch of BMC's service automation and the acquisition of Emprisa
Networks will keep the company at the top of an increasingly competitive
software niche, said Forrester Research senior analyst Evelyn Hubbert.

BMC did not release terms of the Emprisa acquisition.

The real goal here is to reduce that part of the IT budget that gets
spent just keeping the lights on, said Herb VanHook, BMC's vice
president of corporate strategy.

The service automation launch is in part the result of BMC's July
acquisition of software automation company RealOps.

Remedy Knowledge Management (RKM) 7.1 image/attachment issue

2007-10-08 Thread Watson, Benjamin A.
List,

 

I'm really perplexed on this one.  

 

First, some background information:

 

On our production web server, users reported that they could not attach
(embed) images into new RKM KB articles nor could they view any images
attached to existing articles.  This seemed to happen all of the
sudden.  The production web server is currently:

 

Windows 2003 Server Standard

IIS6/ServletExec5

MidTier 7.0.1 patch 001

RKM 7.1 build 1098

 

I recall testing this capability prior to putting it online and know for
a fact that this feature worked at one time.  What's strange is that if
using the RKM standalone interface (or via the MidTier) from the server
itself, this issue doesn't occur.

 

 

Fast-forward to now:

 

We were planning on upgrading the production server to MidTier 7.1 under
Tomcat standalone for performance reasons, possibly rendering the
subject of this e-mail moot.  I stood up a new web server on a virtual
machine as follows:

 

Windows 2003 Server Standard

MidTier 7.1 under Tomcat Standalone

RKM 7.1 build 1098 (with the assistance of Carrie R. @ BMC)

 

Life was good.  The image/attachments issue did not manifest itself at
all (from the server or other client desktops).

 

Then, I upgraded our baseline development web server on our DMZ drop
to match the environment under the virtual machine (and only proceeded
to test things locally from the server without issue).

 

Last, I build a new server (physical box) which is very similar to the
baseline and virtual servers which would be shipped to the client site
to replace the existing production server.  Upon running this new one
through the ringer, I noticed the image/attachment issue rear itself
when testing from a client machine on the network.  Unfortunately, the
server had to be shipped to meet a deadline before I could resolve the
issue.  So I still have our DMZ (which also experiences this issue) for
testing locally.

 

I've got a critical support ticket opened with BMC on this, but it
appears they took today (Columbus day) off as I haven't seen an update
to the ticket all day.  Their response last week was to try yet another
RKM WAR file (which I did), but it didn't resolve the issue.

 

From what I can tell, it appears to be a problem authenticating the user
inside the Attachment Servlet (tomcat\webapps\rkm\attachfile.jsp or
insertimage.jsp).  Both files have the following code at the top of the
file:

 

%

String strISOLocaleCode =
GlobalUtils.getInitializedLanguage(request);

ConfigLoader sysConfig = HomeFinder.getConfigLoader();

Authenticator authenticator = sysConfig.getAuthenticator();

if (!authenticator.isUserAuthenticated(request, response) ||
!authenticator.hasAccessGroup())

authenticator.denyAccess(request, response);

%

 

I suspect that the if statement always evaluates to true as I've seen
the all-too-familiar RKM Access Denied screen briefly appear in the
upload status indicator before.  However, RKM is able to authenticate
users as it allows them to log in, author documents, search, view, etc.

 

Anyone else have an issue similar to this?  Any ideas?  I've stared and
compared the working virtual server and problem physical server and can
find no glaring differences to explain it.

 

Ben
