Hello Listers,

ARS 4.03
NT 4.0 Server SP6
MS SQL 7.0

I am trying to import a definition file that was created as server independent. It definitely is, I checked the file. When I import it I get the fully qualified domain name in all of the ALs. I added Server-Name: mtn-hotline to my ar.cfg file and I even made sure that the server_cache table only had one entry and it reads mtn-hotline. What I'd like to know is where Remedy gets the domain name. All ALs have mtn-hotline.local.domain.com as the server name. The pulldowns in the ALs do show the short name, but then I would have to rebuild almost 300 ALs. Not good. I could add the short name to the def file in place of the "@" but that's not good either. I don't want to have to edit these files before I import.
I am part of an NT domain and the TCP/IP setting has the short name in the hostname field.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
TIA,

Remember the digit infront/this holds the length of the servername) of the
servername.

ie:
...17\here_is_my_server

..should be..
...1\@

Hi John

In version 4.0.3, to force the server to import a def file using the short
host name you need to open the Network Control panel, select protocols,
TCP/IP and open its properties. You've probably got domain information
entered here. Remove it, then perform your import.

You can reinstate the domain name if you need it after the import. Version
4.5.* seems better at this as the server reference is stored as @ and will
display as whichever hostname you connect to the server as.

I have been calling Remedy support on this issue all year long and they have
not been able to help me. I have had to redo all my workflow whenever I do
an import. Very frustrating.

If anyone does know of a solution for this I would be greatly interested as
well.

I am currently working on a PERL script that uses the DBI module with DBD
for Oracle on ARS V4.02. I intend to clean a system at the database level.
One cheat is to have the same number of characters in the new server name as
the old. We stick to 7. I've done most of it, I'm just working on how to
do the LONG columns.

If anyone has done this I'd appreciate the code. It'll save my poor over
worked brain from having to read to much treeware.

Must get back to it.....

Thanks for the info.
I ended up doing a search/replace and put in the 11/mtn-hotline in place of 1/@.
of course it worked but it's a step I wanted to leave out.
Maybe when I upgrade . . .

Be careful though. I've found that the server name can be broken over

I'm OK. I'm importing the Data Manager That I downloaded from ESP or Allremedy or Mainhelpdesk or somebody . . .

All I have to do is change the 1\@ to 11\mtn-hotline. But thanks for the warning Tony (and Jarl). When I move from the test server to production I will keep an eye out for this.

Is your server name different from you SQL or remedy server name. And also
is your server a BDC. I know that itshould not be a PDC or a BDC.

I have had production and development servers on BDCs and PDCs for three
years with no problem at all - BUT - the Remedy servers have their own
domain that only I (and they) log in to. I do NOT currently intend to mix
Remedy and Active Directory, however; after several months of observing the
level of activity on my three Win2K AD servers, I will put Remedy on Win2K
member servers only. I suspect that you are being warned against putting
Remedy on a domain controller that has a production user authentication
load, and I would not recommend that either.

In my experience the determining factor on server naming for imported
definitions has been how you log in to the admin tool (and how you installed
Remedy in the first place)! We have always used the FQDN (fully qualified
domain name) here due to long-standing problems with the UNIX-based static
naming services still in use on our campus, and always enter the FQDN during
installations, imports, administration, and everyday use. Consistent use of
the FQDN has consistently kept us out of trouble here, although I know
others have tried to operate totally on the short name. I could be
completely mistaken on the mechanics of this, but we have yet to see server
name as a problem for our Windows, Solaris, ARWeb, or RemedyWeb clients.
