assyst General

We are using 7 Windows Servers with assyst Server installed behind an F5 load balancer for a maximum of 200 concurrend assystWEB and 30 concurrent assystNET users.We also have another server running assystServer, IPaaS and Search Server. This one is not used by normal users.Since upgrading to Assyst 11.6.1 last Friday we’ve been experiencing some “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded” on the 7 servers behind the load balancer which leads to the JVM restarting and all sessions on that server being killed.This doesn’t happen on all the servers and is irregular.We had all the JVMs for assyst Server configured to 6GB of memory as recommended by IFS on the Wiki. We decided to up the limit to 8GB which seems to be working for now but our JVM monitoring shows spikes to nearly 8GB which if reached would probably make it restart again. According to the wiki page from before we should need 50MB per user but we have way higher memory usage.Has anyone be experiencing similar incr

Why version 11.6.2 is no longer available for download?

In an effort to have our analysts use the Resolved action rather than Close, we decided to remove the Close action for their Service Departments. When doing so, the Log As New option disappears. We then added the action back, but set it to not show up in the pop up, only in the Other actions. This still does not allow the Log As New to work. We understand the way the Log As New works, that the original ticket will be closed as part of the process, but why does the Close action have to actually be on the pop-up menu for Log As New to work? The Service Department has access to the Close action, just not on the pop up menu.     

Because we use custom fields in our forms, the Description in the Info Zone doesn’t show any of the entered details (see below).  Is there a way to allow the custom fields to be shown, like the Details tab, please? ThanksSteven

Hi,I’ve implemented a service offering with a simple form (without a process), while trying to submit the form on assystNET I receive the following generic error:  The strange thing is that from assystWEB I can open the request without any error.I’ve already checked the permissions for the alias, eventual filters inside the form, the import profile, the CSG but everything seems fine. Do you have any clue about this? 

Hi All,We have a requirement where we are creating a Service Request from ETM.We are able to create a Service Request but the issue is we are not able to check the checkbox for Bundled Service Offering. We want to submit the Parent and Bundled Service Requests together.Please help.Thanks & Regards,Manish Verma

We have Knowledge Procedures which were working fine in older versions.Recently, when we moved to 11.5 and we added tile color and tile image to Knowledge Procedures. Everything looks fine but as soon as we click on “View Draft”, all the sections get cleared out. All the information like text, images gets wiped out in below Sections of Knowledge Procedure:Problem Solution Environment Cause.Did anyone face this issue and have any solution? Thanks & Regards,Manish Verma

Hi there, I was wondering if it was possible to include the link of the event in question in an Action Template? I’ve tried many things but it does not seem to work for different reasons. Here are some things that I have tried:Pasting the link in the template’s description and modifying the link’s event id with the current [EVENT_ID] value. Using the Action Template’s built-in text formatting URL. For the link here I used the same formatting as in #1. Is there a way to do this?

Question 1: While populating “Shared field” of a Service Request from ETM, we are getting below error:DatamapperConfigurationException - Type doesn't contain custom field custom.RESOURCE NAME1 Note: Normal Custom Fields are working fine.Question 2: How to skip dependent fields from ETM? Example “Field_2” will appear on when value selected in “Field_1” is “YES”. In ETM, how can we write this condition that “Field_2 will be populated only when “Field_1” is YES? 

Hi all,  Within a datamapper is it possible to know when the last record is being processed?Thanks.T

Hi, is there an expression/logic within assyst customizer to have a field that lets you select specific dates within a set period and also be able to select dates/times after a specific time and date. For example, we want our users to only be able to select any date/time 12 days after the current day of filling out a form. Is this possible ?

When attempting to log into Assyst at  /assystweb/application.do we are seeing a 20 delay before getting the login screen. Once past that it works fine.  Logging on to  /assystnet/#homepage does not have a delay, it’s pretty much immediate. 

While updating Event Builders from ETM, not able to find usage field under “Record to update”.Is there any work around? Example:There are 2 Event Builders with everything same except usage. How can we discontinue Event Builder with particular “usage”?

Is there a way to hard delete discontinued Event Builders? We are trying to do that from ETM but getting Privileges Error:You are not permitted to perform this action. Type: PrivilegeException.

I am trying to embed a knowledge procedure. When trying to access the iframe properties on the embed media element in the Formatted Text Editor it shows the regular browser context instead of the assyst one. Enable Formatted Text Editor Context Menu is enabled in preferences, context menu for images work correctly as expected, but not for embed media.I have tried using width and height settings in the iframe tag, but it appears those don’t take effect when it is saved I noticed the summary of browser limitations hasn’t been updated or fixed since 11.3, is iframe properties not possible except for on videos or is this a browser limitation?Formatted Text Editor Toolbar - assyst11-6Wiki (axiossystems.com)

 Hi, I wanted to know whether there is any restriction on the visibility of bundle services on mobile app. The bundles under “Computer Services and Support” are not visible on mobile. But they are visible on desktop as expected.   Your early response is appreciated.Thank you in advance.

We have a requirement where we don’t want to generate a task when Parent Problem Item’s and it’s related Item’s responsible SVD is either VND WIPRO CM or VND WIPRO SD. We are using below expression in workflow, but it is not working as expected. It is checking only Parent Problem Item’s Responsible SVD and not it’s related Item’s Responsible SVD. combine($new.itemA.relations.relatedItem.servDept.shortCode,if($new.itemA.servDept.shortCode in ("VND WIPRO CM",”VND WIPRO SD”),$NO_VALUE,$new.itemA.servDept.shortCode)) Please help us in fixing this issue.

Is there a way to use wild cards in workflow expressions?Example:Current Expression: if($new.itemA.servDept.shortCode = "My Test SVD",$NO_VALUE,”SVD2”)Requirement: We want the result should be “$NO_VALUE” when SVD shortcode has “Test”.Something like below:if($new.itemA.servDept.shortCode like "%Test%",$NO_VALUE,”SVD2”)

Hi, We have an ADExport.csv file which overnight imports users into Assyst via ETM. Sometimes, a user fails to import so we manually have to import that user via ETM. I’ve written a basic PowerShell script which prompts us to enter in the Email address of the user that has failed to import. Once the email address has been entered, the script then searches for that user in the ADExport.csv file. Once the user is found in the file, it copies the following file headers into a new .csv file: "sAMAccountName","userPrincipalName","SID","GivenName","Description","sn","physicalDeliveryOfficeName","Department","mail","telephoneNumber","userAccountControl","MobilePhone","Manager","ManagerName","ManagersAMAccountName","extensionAttribute11","DistinguishedName" The script then copies the users info found in the ADExport.csv file then pastes it into the new .csv file created above. I’ve confirmed each header has the correct info assigned.When I import the new .csv into ETM, it shows the following e

Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to report on the last logon date for assyst users?If there is no way to do this, could it be considered as an enhancement for a future release?

Hi all,I have an input file with multiple records containing a remarks field.  I need to update the same, existing Remarks (Description) field in the CMDB with all of these values.  The Remarks field already has existing data.  Call it  “Test Data”.  But I can only get the last record in the input file to append to remarks.  So, I have ...Record 1:  “This is my note one.”Record 2:  “This is my note two.”Record 3:  “This is my note three.”It will retain the original value but only copies the last record.  It shows up as this “Test Data.  This is my note three.”I’ve tried messing with outbound.remarks and outbound.self.remarks but I cannot get it to work.Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!T

Hi everyone, When processing an ETM input file with multiple records is it possible to kick off a a datamapper only once after the last record is processed? Thanks!

Good morning all, I am looking to add an alert or pop up message to an existing Assyst Incident so that when the next analyst opens this request they will get a prompt to alert me. To be specific this is for asset management and I am waiting on a specific component to come in. We have a lot of staff involved so rather than trying to alert everyone I am hoping there is a way to have a message pop up when this item comes in and they try to update or close the Incident. I am relatively new to Assyst so any help would be greatly appreciated.
