assyst General

I started to play more with Expressions in the various tasks created in a process.That is very cool ! 😎However, I was wondering how can I insert some “guidance” information into the triggered tasks ? Or maybe there is a way to copy the parent’s “suggested actions” content in the description ?What would be the best method to use in this context ?thanks in advance !p.s. in assyst v11.5.3

We are in the process of copying the production database (11.4) and putting into our Development environment (11.8) - after going through the Database update to get the schema up-to-date, we go through the commands.  After doing the commands, shutdown the Karaf command window, starting up IPaaS, we cannot get into AssystETM.Has anyone else had this issue?

I’m trying to narrow down an issue that I was have happening for a certain type of ItemAId - to do this, I was trying to use csgId - but using this query:https://<server>:<port>/assystREST/v2/events?csgId=145Results with this:Invalid Lookup Parameter: csgId So I guess my question is to how to find the valid lookup parameters? 

Context Overarching goal Some examples:  Too much information Not enough information: Questions, and request for input Having read the Installation:LoggingContextFilter and the Installation:Useful Server Logging Configurations wiki articles, I’m still coming up short in regards to what I want to achieve.  ContextI am asking from the context of a multi-server environment, with several assystEnterprise servers, each running in their separate windows VMs, with a load balanced URL facing our users, and our technicians. I am trying to address some issues in regards to the %JBOSS_HOME%/standalone/log/server.log and how the logging of certain normal or foreseeable events caused by our users or IT-staff causes massive entries in the server.log. Having the added noise of errors from normal and foreseeable behavior in the main log file adds extra complexity and increases the time spent noticing patterns and determining the cause of reported issues. On the other hand, some error messages are n

Good day,We’ve been looking to import data into custom fields on Items. The wiki is very, very detailed for the Data Mapper, but there does not appear to be an example of how to update the value of a shared field (let alone, in our case, a single lookup field).Below is what we had come up with. assystETM recognizes our custom Item field, RESOLUTION-PROGRESS, but we do not know how to tell it to import the data for that field, as there are no fields to specify this. Clearly, we are missing something.  Can anyone give us a hint or direct us to an example for updating custom item fields? Really appreciate it,...Donovan

We are facing an issue with an existing SLA Expression. The old expression ($SUPPLIER = <Some Value>) was checking for Event’s Supplier and was taking some action if Supplier is a particular value. This expression $SUPPLIER is not working in our latest version of assyst (11.7.4). Please help us with a replacement expression to check an event’s Supplier.   

Looking for assistance with an assyst task - assyst user expression.We have a custom field doing an assyst user single select lookup. The expression I would need is to call the selected assyst users contact user manager as the assyst user for the task to go to. Example: custom field lookup; assyst userdecision task goes to assyst user of the manager value of the selected assyst users contact user valueMitch OC contact user manager definition of Jason BCustom Lookup: assyst user selected is Mitch OC; decision task assyst user expression to be Jason BI cannot find a way to make this work on current available expression examples in wiki or otherwise

I’m looking for a method of getting a Data Range of the loggedDate but cannot figure it out.  I’ve seen this post and tried to follow the example, but it doesn’t work for me in 11.8.1 - ?itemBId=0&loggedDate=2024-07-10T00:00:00Z;2024-07-11T00:00:00Z When I do this search, I find X amount that is below the 10,000 limit, but it includes all the dates from 7/10 to end of time. Another subject is there a way to page the results, currently I’m limited on 10,000 and would like to get all the results back in one shot. 

Hi, when my process in the process desiger had two back to back automated decisions followed by a normal task, it threw an error saying the task has already started and it wouldn't allow the first decision ticket to be closed. I had to add a normal task and automatically close it in between the decisions to make the process work. Do you know why this error was happening?  

Hi all, We (rightly or potentially wrongly) ask multiple questions in the “question” field on tasks in some of our processes , has anyone found a way to force a line break for the detail? Just reading all the questions in one long sentence looks rubbish! Thanks in advance :-) 

Hi, is there a Process designer “How-to” training or online guide with basic examples available somewhere on how to create new basic workflow process including a couple stages and a decision task ?P.s. I am aware of the Workflow Theory - assyst11-5Wiki (axiossystems.com),but when it’s time to start building one, where one should start ? Create the stages ?there are also other components that needs to be added to the system before creating new workflow process, for example, new Event Categories, Process Categories, actions types often need to be created prior to start building a new process from scratch. So I am looking at a guide hat would help us determine what should be created from scratch and waht could be reused in the existing system, etc… thanks

I wanted to know if IFS Assyst can integrate with Microsoft Sentinel or any other SIEM solutions to be able to create tickets automatically for security alerts or incidents? If yes, then what all methods are available for the integration.

​I’m working on a possible hunch of an issue I’m having.  I want to use the API to update all the service offerings to a new value for the Default Item B.  I’ve tried to do a post with the this:{"resolvingParameters" : [{"parameterValue": "REPORT AN ISSUE WITH EMAIL","parameterName": "shortCode"}],"customEntityDefinitionId":322,"defaultItemBId":0,"name":"Report an Issue with Email","defaultItemAId":145,"defaultSeriousnessId":19,"defaultCategoryId":73,"shortCode":"REPORT AN ISSUE WITH EMAIL","defaultPriorityId":3,"defaultDepartmentId":587,"parentServiceId":1726,"defaultRoomId":1,"defaultAssignedServDeptId":1}Which results in this:{   "type": "ObjectInUseException",   "message": "The requested resource cannot be created as its identifier is already in use.",   "messageKey": "rest.exceptions.ObjectInUseException",   "diagnostic": "could not execute batch, (Cause exception: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.serv_off' with unique index 'serv_off2_ux'. The duplicate key value is

Has anyone been able to pull the Rich Remarks event description from the parent ticket into a Task.I’ve tried the following in the Task: But that only gives me the following:  

On AssystWEB 11.8.1 (On Prem) when trying to access the Search “My Team’s Open Events”, it has the spinning icon, then ends up with a blank page. Through IFS support, they wanted me to verify the user had any “CSG’s (Restricted to)” populated, if so to remove them and try again.  Which allowed the search to work. Now the question is why having 1+ CSG’s specified for the user doesn’t allow the search to work?  The CSG of 3W is extra, even without it, it still returns a blank page. With all the above CSG removed, log back into AssystWEB, it now works:  Going into the query, there is no CSG for it… This is a new install of AssystWEB 11.8.1 that we are currently testing.  I think majority of the issues we have is result of this issue…   

In version 11.8.1, we are trying to assign internal user, but get the error in the subject.  I don’t quite understand “receive events of this type”. I’m thinking this is some type of setup, but digging through the items, I don’t see of how this would be configured.  

Is it possible to hide the Progress bar entirely in AssystNet for Service Offerings with an attached Process? In addition, is it possible to leave the Progress Bar, but mark certain stages in Process Designer to not be showing in AssystNet? We have some very long processes, with sub processes, that the end user really doesn’t need to worry about or have visibility to.

I’m working on the install of the Assyst Web Server and our first setup with the External Message System.  I believe I have everything up an going, but posting this to the community in hopes someone might have an answer.  Once the log settles down, at the bottom are these errors.  I don’t know if this is some missing configuration OR just something to “ignore”.  2024-02-26 14:09:27,531 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 381) WFLYCTL0013: Operation ("read-resource-description") failed - address: ([    ("subsystem" => "resource-adapters"),    ("resource-adapter" => "assystMessagingSystem"),    ("connection-definitions" => "ActiveMQConnectionFactoryPool"),    ("statistics" => "extended")]) - failure description: "WFLYCTL0030: No resource definition is registered for address [    (\"subsystem\" => \"resource-adapters\"),    (\"resource-adapter\" => \"assystMessagingSystem\"),    (\"connection-definitions\" => \"ActiveMQCo

Hi,I’m using Assyst 11.3.7 and I am looking for some definitive info on how the response to an incident is measured. I have seen cases where the response time is time stamped at the marking of Resolved when lots of activities took place before that. I have searched he help but can’t find anything that defines this Is there are particular action the user should take to ensure that Response has been timestamped correctly?Thanks

We have a requirement to fetch what all Cost Centers are linked to Contact User Query Profiles.Don’t see any DMW or DB table that gives such relation.

We want to apply Lookup Filter Expression on Job Title Field based on CSG. Something like below:select UserRole.Id from usr_role as UserRole where UserRole.csg.shortCode=’XYZ’; But this expression is failing. Please help in fixing this.

We have to synchronize Incidents with our suppliers ITSM-System; alas, the supplier’s Summary only supports 100 characters. Is it possible to restrict the field length in assyst? 

Assyst v11.5.2SmartMail v1.12.5 We are developing a new process in assyst that all starts with a new custom logging form within assystNet. The users completes the questions and then has to attach a document before being able to submit the request. After the request has been logged, the attachment(s) that the user has attached to the request needs to be attached to an email that is sent externally. How can I automate this please by using AP rules and SmartMail without someone having to manually trigger this by taking a specific action and select the attachment? The aim is to automate as much of this manual process as possible

Hi all, Within my ETM import I am checking to see if there is a Linked Item Group associated with an Incident (Event). If not it will create one. This is working as expected. Then I am trying to link an Item to the Linked Item Group but it fails with the error “You are not permitted to perform this action. Type: PrivilegeException.”.mapAndPost Assyst REST Exception: Error invoking create on linkedItem with body.The ID I am using is an Admin ID and I use the same one to create items and Products within the same import channel / datamapper with no issue. I have confirmed the linked Item Group was successfully created and can be referenced via the Id and that the item exists and can be referenced via the Short Code. See images below.Can anyone think of a reason this would fail? Am I missing another required field upon creation that may cause a privilege error?Thanks for your assistance!Trevor
