Re: [Arsperl-users] ARS Perl for Windows

[Michiel B. <mi...@be...>]

Hi all, I would like to point out there IS a compiles ppd version of ARSperl
which includes the ARS API dll files. However, because the Remedy dlls are
not open souce itself, they can not be hosted on sourceforge and I chose to
put them on the BMC Developers Network. You'd need a (free) account to
download it. Here's the link:
http://developer.bmc.com/communities/docs/DOC-5262

The 1.90 ppd you found on sourceforge does NOT include the dlls. I'd suggest
to use the 1.91 version from the BMC website.

There are no "plans" about this. It would just need someone who does it.

I probably won't do it myself, because I'm not normally using 
ActivePerl, so have no expertise about this.

Moreover, I believe that a commercially licensed Visual C++ compiler (as

You can download a ppm file from

Open the "All files -> arsperl -> 1.90" tree item and download
"ARSperl_190_701.zip", which is ARSperl 1.90 compiled against the 7.0.1 ARS

Re: [Arsperl-users] ARS Perl for Windows

[Thilo S. <thi...@ap...>]

You can download a ppm file from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/arsperl/files/

Open the "All files -> arsperl -> 1.90" tree item and download 
"ARSperl_190_701.zip", which is ARSperl 1.90 compiled against the 7.0.1 
ARS API, but should work nonetheless with a 7.1 server.

If you want to compile 1.91 yourself, you do indeed need to have the ARS 
API libraries. Those are available at

http://arswiki.org/projects/arapi

'lo listers

Need some help.

I want to install ARSPerl for Windows (XP Prof) on my PC. The only
download I find is on the net is ARSperrl-1.91.tgz.

It seems one has to have the ARS API kit installed, which I don't have.
Is there a way around this? i.e. some PPM download, or other install

Re: [Arsperl-users] Segfaults on Debian Lenny

[Thilo S. <thi...@ap...>]

You might replace line 243 of "AES.xs":

ctrl = (ARControlStruct *)safemalloc(sizeof(ARControlStruct));

by

ctrl = (ARControlStruct *)MALLOCNN(sizeof(ARControlStruct));


I don't know if this would help, but it might be worth a try.

Re: [Arsperl-users] 1.90 - Query Sort

[Thilo S. <thi...@ap...>]

The ars_GetListEntry function has those parameters too.

Moreover, if no such parameters are passed, the sort order of the form 
should indeed be used.

I once made the mistake of putting the return values from 
ars_GetListEntry into a hash, which has the effect that the sorting 
information gets lost, even if the entries are returned in the correct 
order:

%entries = ars_GetListEntry( ... );

I'm running Debian 32bit inside a Virtualbox VM with ASPerl 1.91. I'm updating config information on a server with it. Sofar no segfaults.

I'm using the OO Layer functions. I haven't tried the old way. 

An Strace of the perl script might help.

Re: [Arsperl-users] Problems writing to join tables - no entry ID to return

[Thilo S. <thi...@ap...>]

This is a problem of the underlying C API, so it cannot be fixed in ARSperl.

That being said, I've encountered this situation too. Here's how I 
worked around it:

Create a filter on "Submit" on the join form containing a "Message" 
action of type "Note". The message text should contain information which 
allows to uniquely identify the newly created entry, e.g. a previously 
generyted GUID. The message content is returned in the $ars_errstr 
variable after the ars_CreateEntry call, which can be evaluated by your 
script.

If you absolutely need the Request-ID of the created entry, that's a bit 
trickier, but can be achieved the following way:
You might push the Request-IDs of the base entries (which are known at 
the time when "push fields" is executed) to some dummy form which exists 
only for this purpose. You can then output the base IDs via a message 
filter action on the dummy form.


Regards,
Thilo

form/table.  This appears to be a systemic problem, and I'm not really
sure what to do about it.  I'm curious if anybody else has found a
solution to this.
        
        Some background: I'm our current resident ARSperl developer at
Stanford.  We use Remedy to handle our Incident Management and other
related areas, and we're starting to build a CMDB based on the same
infrastructure.  I've built up the general interface to handle all of
this, based on (at the lowest level) the ARSperl interface.

        I'm currently working on the engine to populate the BMC CMDB
product based on spec CMDBf data (this is XML, for those that don't know).
The CMDB is based very heavily on join tables; pretty much *everything*
you write to is a join table of some sort or another, and there's no
real way to work around this.  

        However, our testing has found a major problem with this: it is
impossible through the API to write directly to a join table.  Instead,
when information is offered to the join table (via ars_CreateEntry ()),
underlying work-flow creates the appropriate entries *indirectly*.  This
generally works - that is, the entries are created appropriately, both in our test
forms and in the default BMC_CMDB forms.  But the correct value is not
returned, according to the API docs:

        http://www.arsperl.org/manual/ars_CreateEntry.html

        On success, we're supposed to get a request ID.  On failure, we
get undef.  In this case, we get a *blank* request ID.  All we can really
say about this is that we can tell the difference between a failure and a
success (though in this case, it leaves us in a situation of "we know we
wrote, but we don't know *where* we wrote", which I would argue subverts
the API pretty badly).

        So - what to do about it?  I've started writing up some wrapper
code in my own libraries that, if we get a blank return code, goes out and
tries to find the entry again based on the data offered during the create
(dying if 0 or 2+ entries are found); but this doesn't seem like the right
general solution.  This seems like something that the ARSperl libraries
should take care of on its own, though I have to admit that I don't really
know how it *would* do so.

        Advice, thoughts, and code examples are welcome.  I'm more than
happy to elaborate as well.

Re: [Arsperl-users] Best Practices Question

Another method is to embed the control records for all environments in the
code, keyed to a server specific value that you can access, like hostname
or IP address.  This can make deployment much easier, as it reduces the
need to coordinate control records on the servers and the need to change
the workflow arguments.  

 

For more security (since you are embedding your passwords in a text file),
encrypt the values and pass in the encryption key (which could be the same
for each server) as a parameter as you are doing with the login
information now.  When the process runs, decrypt each value, use it, then
drop the variables.

The only thing that needed to be changed was the config files.

Good day all!

 

Like most programmers, I like to write code that is as portable across my
dev/qa/production environments as possible.  I've played with passing
arguments in workflow as well as reading control records located on each
server and each have their pluses and minuses.  How have you all handled
this in your environments when supplying the
servername/username/password/misc for the code you write?  Is there a
better way I've overlooked?

The way we have handled that here at my company is that each perl script
passes the $SERVER$ as one of the parameters.  We have an ini that's read
from each script that uses $SERVER$ as the ini file name which gives us
login, servername, etc

Re: [Arsperl-users] ars_GetListEntry

[Michiel B. <mi...@be...>]

Rusty / Steve,

The arguments for ars_GetListEntry are since AR System version 5:

ars_GetListEntry(ctrl,schema,qualifier,maxRetrieve=0,firstRetrieve=0,...)

So that explains the additional 0... I will update the documentation + the
example (which were obviously still < v5...)

Kind regards,

Please unsubscribe me from ARSPerl mailing list. Thank you. 

Re: [Arsperl-users] ars_GetListEntry

[Rusty C. <rco...@ya...>]

Steve,


It's been a while since I used ARS but the help pages for ars_GetListEntry has missed an argument, plus I've always sucked the data into a hash. Here's my code snippet.

my %entries = ars_GetListEntry($ctrl->ctrl(), $schema, $lq, 0, 0,
    [
    {columnWidth=>20, separator=>'\t', fieldId=>$ftarca{"ARCT_T_WorkReq_"}},
    ],
    $ftarca{"ARCT_T_WorkReq_"}, 2);

I've found that I always had to include the extra '0' in the call to make this work, sadly this is the simplest example I have.

Then I take those list of tickets and get the data I'm looking for

foreach my $t (sort keys %entries) {
    # Grab the fields needed per ticket.
    my %data = ars_GetEntry($ctrl->ctrl(), $schema, $t, $ftarca{"ARCT_I_Instructions"},
                            $ftarca{"ARCT_I_ActionTaken"}, $ftarca{"ARCT_I_SubmitCategory"},
                            $ftarca{"ARCT_TD_CreateDate"}, $ftarca{"ARCT_T_HCMinToComp_"},
                            $ftarca{"ARCT_TD_CreateWW"}, $ftarca{"ARCT_TD_ResolveWW"},
                            $ftarca{"ARCT_T_Region"} );

## <snip> ##

}

I'm sure there are better, more efficient ways to make this work, this is what I've done in the past.

Hope it helps,

Rusty
