calctime.exe)was failing. I disabled it and was able to squash the error.
What ramifications it caused is still being worked on.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

Brian,

You are probably really busy right now...

Just a few suggestion, and if you find the time to write to list then great,
if not, good luck I hope you find your solution.

1) Do you use ARTIME?
2) Does any workflow at all do calculations?
3) Since Remedy patches are well known for introducing more bugs than the
fix (hello, patch 817) and from what I see, ARS 3.0.1 running on NT doesn't
need any patches, maybe you could try reverting to your previous executable
on a test machine (if you have one).

I'll be monitoring the list for some time yet. I'm on until 0800 EST....
grim, I know...

It was a filter that calculated closed time (running Remedy's calctime.exe).
I was disabled the filter and the modifications/closing of the ticket
completed without error. What ramifications it has down the down, is yet to
be seen.

AR Client: 3.2.1 Patch 702
AR Server: 3.0.1 Patch 424
File Server: NT 4.0 SP5
SQL: MS SQL 6.5

Thanks and a happy New Year to you!!!!

Brian

Brain,

I know you must be very busy now. I hope my suggestion doesn't sound too
silly...

1. Turn on the filter log to pin point the broken workflow.
2. You didn't mention your client version. Try with the later 3x client.
i.e.
3.2.1 Patch 858. I don't know it is competable with 3.0.1 or not. You may
also
turn on the Active Link log in 3.2 and up.
3. Upgrade your artime from Remedy support web

I hope you can resolve your problem soon. I am still waiting for the Y2K
rollover in west coast. Good Luck.....

I received this same error when trying to move a ticket status from Pending to
Resolved. I found two filters (HPD:HPD-SetAutoCloseTime and
HPD:HPD-CalcHoursToResolve) that were using artime. Both of the $PROCESS$ calls
to artime failed to return values to the appropriate field (nothing was returned
at all, they received $NULL$ values, causing ARERR 350 in a later calculation).
The same $PROCESS$ call done on the command line, however, returned the correct
value.

Also, all email notifications since 1/1/2000 10:00 AM (the time we restarted AR)
have failed to be sent. Users get the popup screen saying that the notification
has been sent via email, the AR Server logs show the notification being sent,
however, the actual sendmail logs show that NOTHING has been sent.

After a few hours of reading through the logs and trying various test cases and
solutions, I got frustrated and just shut AR down and restarted it. BAM!
Problem solved (hopefully) for both ARERR 350 and the email situation. Whether
this problem was Y2K related still needs to be determined.

Here's what I did:

- Shutdown AR
- Freed all memory segments and semaphores used by AR (using the unsupported
utility arshrmem)
- Restarted AR

You might want to reenable your filter and follow the above process. Hope this
helps.


Solaris 2.6
AR Server 3.2.1 patch 689
