Re: [rt-users] mysql DB engine ndbdcluster

2016-12-14 Thread Mike Diehl
At the risk of picking a fight, I'd like to understand this a bit better.

As long as the database supports minimum functions, such as transactions, 
joins, datatypes, etc., why should an application care about the underlying 
storage engine?

Are you trying to imply that ndbcluster simply isn't production-ready?  If so, 
then end of conversation.

Otherwise, what are some of the issues the OP will have to look forward to?

Thanks.

Mike.

Re: [rt-users] Custom Field Search??

2016-04-12 Thread Mike Diehl
I think the original poster has a similar question to one I've been pondering.

In my case, I have a custom field in the tickets that stores SLA information.  
I would like to be able to query my tickets to see which tickets have a 
particular SLA setting and are older than a certain age.

Can this be done in the query-by-example web interface?

I hope I haven't hijacked your question.  Please forgive me if I have.

[rt-users] A few Op's questions from a new user

2016-01-18 Thread Mike Diehl
Hi all,

I've recently started using RT.  I chose it because it was written in Perl (as 
is the rest of my system) and had a lot of integration  and extension hooks.

I have it setup to automatically create users if they send email to the 
appropriate address.

My eventual goals are:

1.  Allow my customers to manage their tickets from the web.
2.  Be able to send my customers a monthly ticket summary.
3. Completely integrate RT with my normal Ops.

So, here are my questions:

1.  I would like to (somehow) keep my customer database in sync with the RT 
user database.  However, my db only has the customer information; each 
customer might have multiple users as identified by email address.  I don't 
want to do a lot of double data entry, but I don't mind coding.

2.  When I stall a ticket, I'd like to be able to set the due date at that 
time.  Right now, I do that as a separate step.  Can this be changed?

3.  If a customer opens a ticket but requests several things, what is the best 
way to track the progress of those tasks individually?  I see that I should be 
able to create associated tickets, but I don't see/understand how those get 
related and updated.  I would love some comments on how others manage this.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to your comments.
