Re: Email Error

2010-03-29 Thread Lyle Taylor
Are any e-mails getting sent out successfully? My first thought is that it may be having issues connecting to the mail server, or the connection is getting reset before the e-mail engine expects, so when it tries to go and do some next action, the connection is no longer valid. Lyle

Re: Change Manager - Change Implementor

I agree with Christopher; SOD is not specified by ITIL and so doesn't necessarily need to be enforced by default by the application supporting the processes. SOD is a policy decision. That said, it would be nice if Change Management had the ability to support policies like this. And that

This sounds like you probably need to enable 32-bit applications in IIS. There are recent threads on this topic that will likely answer the question, including the steps needed to enable it. If you search the arslist archives, you should be able to find them. Lyle From: Action Request

Re: CI Name - Computer Systems

2010-03-24 Thread Lyle Taylor
In my last position, we used the machine's name in DNS as the CI name. That way, people see the CI in the way they're using to seeing it everywhere else. The important thing to note, if you do that, is that CIs really ought to have a unique identifier that stays with that CI forever and never

Re: RKM Document Migration from Dev to production

2010-03-24 Thread Lyle Taylor
To really do it, you probably need to manually rename the files and edit them with the document ID that you want them to have. You will probably also have to update the RKM database to increase the next document ID to a number greater than the last article that you will be adding from dev (I'm

Copying the DB over could be a good first start. Just make sure that you don’t have any changes in development that you don’t want to lose, because you will then have a perfect copy of production (data, forms and workflow), not just a copy of production data. If you’ve never done it before,

Re: Mid-Tier on IIS 6.0 with Tomcat JSP - issue with jsp redirects

2010-03-23 Thread Lyle Taylor
IIS doesn't do JSP by default, AFIK, so I would expect that you would either need to move them to a folder under Tomcat (so that Tomcat can process them), or convert them to something that IIS does know how to handle. The suggestion to convert them to ASP might be the easiest if they are

Re: Date/Time Error 9376

2010-03-23 Thread Lyle Taylor
I've had issues with people in different locales trying to submit records. What was odd was that they didn't always have to change a date for it to cause issues - a field would have a date in it, in the format that Remedy displayed it in, and then it would complain that the date was in the

I would highly recommend building a dev environment. Setting up reconciliation jobs is not necessarily an easy task and is very error prone. Also, depending on how Discovery gets data into your production database, you may be able to have it feed both environments. If Remedy is pulling data

Retriving the application name for a form

2010-03-12 Thread Lyle Taylor
Hi all, Does anyone know of a way to determine what application a given form belongs to using the Remedy API? So far, the best I've come up with is to pull a list of all the applications and then pull a list of forms for each application and then load that into a lookup data structure. That

This sounds like a browser caching issue to me - like it's mixing old and new javascript. I would recommend having the user log out, flush their browser's cache (delete temporary internet files) and log in again and try again. I think you general see errors similar to this most often after

Yep, I noticed that too. That's a nasty omission IMO. In our case, adding an index took it down to subsecond query times when viewing the audit log. Lyle From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Matt Reinfeldt Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010
