Yes, but it may be fixed in a later patch. I'm currently on 6.3 system so I can't check, but I remember some users pointed that out to me when we were on that version/patch. I recommend searching BMC's website for a related bug or better still through the release notes for the latest patch to

John, actually I was able to do reporting with version 11. I think Kathy that the issue might possibly be due with the ODBC driver. When I had a similar problem, I'm pretty sure it was because I had a user embedded in my ODBC. Try clearing out any such information, or if that doesn't work, try

I've seen weirdness with some other applications as well when on the 2nd display. I think if the application works, great, but if it doesn't then you need to just move it back to primary. Personally, most applications work well enough that I don't think its that big a problem. Ben

Re: Question: Active Link - Checking Table - ITSM 7

2008-05-30 Thread Benedetto Cantatore
Off the top of my head, I think that you do a direct sql that would return the same results that the table would and then do a set field command using the value of lastcount. I think that would give you a number and you can build workflow to check if the value is greater than 0. Ben Cantatore

Jase, I think I had a similar problem like yours long ago, my memory is a bit hazy. I think what the problem ended up being was specific records missing a history. So when you attempted to report on those incidents, it choked. I recommend that you run the search in the usertool, and then

You really don't want to be bleeding edge unless you're like me and didn't have a choice. I tried implementing 7.0 back in Oct 2006 and we were fighting the bugs along with our inexperience with a vastly different product. So unless you enjoy pain, I'd recommend upgrading to a stable version.
