[rt-users] Call external webservice after all scrips/transactions are done?

[Daniel Schwager]

Hi,

I would like to call (inside my scrip) a external webservice 
(synchronization-trigger to our Kanban tool). 

This call should be done 
- one time only, 
- after all RT transactions/scrips are done (so, the ticket is "stable" 
and will not change anymore)

I don't know how to write my scrip "Custom condition", "stage" (normal/batch). 
How could this condition looks like?

Best regards
Danny

Re: [rt-users] Queues, surveys for agents, and forms

[Loïc Cadoret]

Hi Geico,

Well everythings is set or created with the Web interface, so I would 
say that it is simple as a clic to create a new queue. It is totally 
possible to move ticket from one queue to an other (the ticket number 
does not change). You can also link tickets (create dependancies for 
your tickets, etc). And that thanks to the web interface so it is very 
user-friendly. You can also set different rights to your users according 
to the queue the ticket is attached from.


As I said in my previous answer, you should install it on a Virtual 
Machine (best practical is supported by almost all linux distributions) 
to test it (install is quite simple and some how to exist on the 
internet depending of what distrib you use to use).

Thanks Loic!

I am glad to hear that it is easy to do so. But precisely **how** is 
the question. Does it go into the config file as a new block?


That said, is it possible to move tickets between queues (ensuring 
that the ticket number does not change)? That functionality is 
essential as very often as a request courses through the system, it 
has to go from one office to another (and the only person who can 
decide where it goes next is the agent in the office sending it).

Hi Geico,

1. Is there some documentation on how to set up multiple queues?
Our university has several different offices that need separate
queues, and while allusions are made to queues and associated
lifecycles, I could not find much on how to set up independent
queues in the first place.

> I'm not sure to understand correctly your question. In RT, you
can create multiple queue (I guess one by office) very easily.
Each queue is independant (it has it own correspond address,
admin, user rights, custom fields and scripts) and you can set
them as you want to correspondant with what want to do.

2. We plan to use user surveys on each ticket to generate
performance information on agents. Typically, each ticket will be
handled by multiple agents. Is there a way for the customer to
give different ratings to different agents?

> I don't think that this feature exists by default in Request
Tracker, maybe an external plugin can do the job. A way to do it
is to use Custom fields in your queue. For exemple, you create a
custom field by agent with the rates that can be given as values
of the custom field. Maybe someone else will give you a much
better solution.

3. How do I set up forms for common tasks?

> Do you mean that you would like to create php form wich will
create a ticket by submiting it ? If yes, then yes it is totaly
possible.

I think that it would be a very good idea to install Request
Tracket on a test VM in order to test this solution and get more
familiar with its functionalities.
You can find RT doc here : https://www.bestpractical.com/docs/rt/4.2/

Hope it helped you,

I have not yet deployed RT, and am spending time studying it
before I do so.

There are many questions at this stage, but beyond what I have

I realize that I need to go deeper into the documentation (and
I have to a first pass, read all that is included the user
manual for 4.2.10, so simply RTFM will not be a helpful
response), but I find myself faced with these unaddressed
questions.

Please bear with a newbie here and feel free to point me to
the right documentation.

Thanks.

Re: [rt-users] Upgraded 4.0.0 with RTFM 2.0 to RT 4.2 - can RTFM be removed?

[Giuseppe Sollazzo]

Hi all,

is there anyone who has had the same issue or has any suggestion?

Or should I remove RTFM from 4.0.0 and then repeat the migration?


Thanks,

Giuseppe

Subject: [rt-users] Upgraded 4.0.0 with RTFM 2.0 to RT 4.2 - can RTFM be 
removed?


Dear list,

we have upgrade our 4.0.0 to the latest 4.2, which includes an article 
functionality and currently testing it (it's a clone of our live system).


On our 4.0.0, we had RTFM version 2.0 installed (although we never really used 
it, nor configured it) and the installation guide says this is not compatible 
with the auto-upgrade script. I proceeded with the 4.0.0->4.2 upgrade anyway, 
thinking the RTFM would just be left behind.


However, the Articles section doesn't quite work (see screenshot with "content" 
not being editable, which is a clear symptom of us never having configured RTFM 
for use), so I suspect RTFM files are affecting the functionality.

Is there a quick fix? I don't mind losing the RTFM 2.0 content to be honest.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Kind regards

Hi,

If you give the other groups that need to move tickets into other queues
the CreateTicket and SeeQueue rights for those queues, they will show up
in their dropdown box and they can pass tickets to those queues. They
will not see the tickets in those queues. We do this often. Make sure
you do this with groups and group permissions to keep it managable.

Ken

Hi Marc,

You can create actions and conditions in Flat files ( See
http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/WriteCustomAction#From_.22User_Defined.22_to_a_module
)

I don't believe you can do this with templates though.

A sidenote too you still have to add relevant entries to the database in
order to use Conditions and Actions in Scrips.

Hi Marc,

If you are using PostgreSQL, you can use a file foreign data wrapper to
map a file to a DB table. I do not know what other DBs support that as
well.
