IFS assyst

For the past couple of versions now I’ve been unable to run dbArchive.  This did used to work. When I try to connect, I get:E:\_Axios\dbArchive>run##############################################################  Welcome to Archive Events Utility - version V104.50.0.0##############################################################        Archive Events Utility - version V104.50.0.0                        - Database Login##############################################################database.type: mssqldatabase.host: vmsqlappsuksd01database.instance: assystdatabase.dbName: assyst_testdatabase.userName: saException in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/axiossystems/assyst/archiveProcessor/common/DatabaseInfo        at com.axiossystems.assyst.dbArchive.common.DBConnectionInfo.toDatabaseInfo(DBConnectionInfo.java:175)        at com.axiossystems.assyst.dbArchive.operati

Good morning,I spoke with IFS this morning and they confirmed that their customers who use Kerberos to authenticate AD users to assyst are reporting that users can no longer access the application after some Windows Server 2019 updates were applied.Has anyone here who uses Kerberos to authenticate users to assyst (pass-through authentication) experienced problems after Win Server 2019 updates being applied to the server?We will be attempting to rollback the updates.  I have also checked the krb5.conf and it appears to be correct.  I removed older encryption types.As a workaround, I have set up an alternate assyst app server that is using Database authentication to allow users to continue to use the application.Anyone else having this problem?  We are on assyst 10 SP7.5 but IFS has told me that it affects all versions.

Hello All, Is it possible to create a Custom Lookup on an assystNET form using Contact User as the single-select-lookup but have the Default Value Expression as the user who is currently logged in?

Hi,Is there an expression, logic or way on how to exclude a single item from a look up filter expression within a custom form via the customizer in Assyst ?assyst Version: assyst10 SP7.5Build:  12183 Date built: 04 August 2020 09:40:59 Please advise.

Hi,I have a Single Line string custom filed on a logging form, and would like to add a Validation Expression that stops a user entering 000000 or 123456.I’m able to write an expression that allows only 000000, but not able to write an expression that doesn’t allow that combination of numbers.Has anyone had any luck writing this kind of validation expression?Thanks in advance

It would be useful for “OR “ and “IN” functions could be used in expressions. For example within customiser forms, a visibility expression of: $W("Lookup Field 1")="Value1" OR $W("Lookup Field 2")="Value2" Thus negating the need for the creation of multiple fields to perform the same function.Anyone else think so? Please upvote :)

We wondered if anyone else in the community was planning on upgrading when 11.6.x is released? We’d love to get more of an idea of what other institutions are doing - do you like to keep up to the minute or take a more slow gradual approach?

We’re working with an organisation that’s interested in the ITOM suite. We have a question raised during a technical deep dive relating to the SKU information we keep in ITOM against each Software License. In ITOM, we have the fields for SKU information (SKU code, downgrade rights, software assurance etc) – however none of this is auto-populated from the current version of the Software Dictionary.In the short-term, has anyone created a reconciliation report to address this or experienced a way to get this SKU information into ITOM without the manual effort?Thanks

I’ve created a user alias and need to restrict some of the service catalogues.  I created a customized homepage in assystNET to show only the service offering they will need.  (this is all because of privacy issues) I’d like to remove the view of the services within the menu but if I can’t remove just one option, the whole menu is fine.  It should be based on the user alias I created.  Is there a way to do that?  If so, how?

Just upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 (and now to 11.5), and it looks like the built in images are not working in the portal. It looks like all images are still loading from the assystimages folder on the server, which we are trying to move away from. Have tried many things, including what looks to be a related KB article, but I have not had any luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hello!We have released assyst 11.6 to the world! It’s available now for all customers via the CDN. You can find more information about the release as well as video overviews of the new functionality in the following post.Release notes are available here:Feel free to let us know what you think of both the release and the video overviews.Cheers,Robert​​​​​

We’ve been experimenting with the API and we’re wondering if there is an example of a POST request for an Event. The documentation on https://wiki.axiossystems.com/assyst11-3Wiki/index.php/Integrations:assystREST#Requests shows what the format of the request would look like but not all the required fields. I have looked through the resource schema on to find what fields are mandatory on events, every single field under events has a minOccurs attribute so that leads me to believe that none of the fields are mandatory? It would help our understanding to see an example of a POST request for an event with all of the mandatory fields. Where could we find one for reference

Hello all, we are looking into integrating Assyst with our Identity Management solution. The purpose is to use APIs from Assyst to do the following: Create contact, Create Assystuser, assign user to role. add user to team.  Can anyone point out where to find documentation on such APIs? Thank you 

Good day,When exporting an assystETM configuration, a zip file is created of the individual JSON files, which is convenient. When I attempt to import the zip file on a refreshed Staging server or into Production, I receive an error message, which suggests this is not supported:Failure assystETM-configurations.zip import failed. Reason: Unexpected character ('{' (code 123)): was expecting double-quote to start field name at [Source: (String)"{{= « string of high-ASCII characters » [truncated 28873 chars]; line: 1, column: 3]If I unpack the zip file, I am left with 19 individual JSON files, a number which will continue to grow. This is a big concern, as the Import dialog will not allow me to select more than one file at a time. Is there another way the configuration can be exported/imported in bulk? Thanks,…Donovan Name Version Axios assyst :: Integr

Hi,We are trying to convert an older assystEJB call that we have embedded in a LUA script. Here is the call to the getAttachments function: local attachments, err = ASSYSTEJB:getAttachments(parmTicketOrAction, parmNumber) We are trying to convert this to assystREST but it’s not working. Would someone have the correct function syntax for getAttachments in assystREST?Thank you!Martin Provost

I have a business  case where ETM channel will receive a inbound email with Parent ticket no and I need to close the last open task of that ticket so it moved to the next stage of the workflow.Just wondering if ETM data mapper can extract the last child open task number if I pass parent ticket id as parameter.

When I extract Contact User data via the assystETM DMW generation process there are eight columns where the table data is duplicated under a difference column heading in the spreadsheet.  Why is this, please, and should they both be populated with the same value when wanting to import data?The columns (Column Letter and Heading Value) are:1st Column 2nd Column L: Email M: Email Address N: Home Tele O: Home Telephone T: Office Extension V: Office Telephone Extension X: Role Short Code AB: User Role Short Code AF: Anet Licence AG: Anet License AH: Assyst User Alias Short Code BZ: User Alias Short Code BH: Middle Name BW: Surname BT: Salutation BX: Title  

Hi,I am hoping you can help importing a CSV into custom fields.  I have created a custom item form (copied from Item) with custom fields.  Using assystETM, I have created a data mapper for the custom field, but it keeps failing.  Is there a way to tell if ETM recognizes my field? 

Hello, is it posible to set personal or system-wide settings to define client filtering for "Assigned service department" and "Assigned assyst user" dialog separately from the parameter in personal settings. This is about the event logging forms.With the client filter active on service department and assyst user, it is no longer possible to find a service department or assyst user directly via Quick Search if it is in a different client than the one in the (automatically) set filter. To work around this, either uncheck the Event's client filter, or open the Search dialog and check the "Uncheck Client Filter" box. Only then will the desired search results be displayed.Deactivating the client filter in the personal settings is a technical option, but unsuitable for operation. Ensuring client match for content such as user, object and process is mandatory.Pre-assignment of the service department by the EventBuilder is not consistently possible in all cases, so that

Hi, i would like to install Action processor 1.9.8 but the software is not available in the CDN and i don’t receive any response to my request. S185553 ThanksPascale 

Hi,We are currently experiencing issues with browser caching, where assystNet users don’t see the correct homepage, offerings, layouts, formats that they should be seeing - the only way to resolve is to clear the users browser cache.This has probably started following an upgrade to 11.5.2 a few weeks ago, but wanted to post this to see if anyone else has the same issue as we are experiencing and if so how you manage/resolve that so that ALL users have their browser cache cleared?

Hopefully this is an easy one: How can I request a match on the Name of the Single Select Lookup instead of it’s Shortcode? In this example, we can match application-subdomain, a Single Select Lookup, based on Shortcode, without issue. The wiki makes reference to things like .singleSelectValue.name but I’ve not been able to figure out the appropriate code for the left-hand side of the assignment in order to perform the lookup based on the Name value of the Single Select lookup field. Are there more examples of this somewhere? Or is it always based on Shortcode and I need to use a lookup table? 😀 Thanks so much,...Donovan

It would be great to allow for sub-labels on forms. Instead of having this text pop up when the user clicks in the field, allow for a sub-label under the field name.Current option Sub Label option  

At Norfolk probably like many of you we use tasks on Service Requests for internal workings to fulfil the SR.  Whilst our staff have been communicated to the importance of using the Service Request ‘S’ for any communications with the Affected User there are times when they forget and will take the Waiting Customer Input action (which triggers an email to the Affected User with the task ref).  So ideally we would like the ability to only show the Waiting Customer Input Action on Service Requests and not tasks (not sure this is possible though).  We could obviously stop the email but its a bit of a catch 22 as at least the Customer knows we are trying to get hold of them, even if the Task Reference has no meaning to them.  Just looking for an innovative ideas or others ways of working that are out there

In the Service Designer I want to reorder the Service Link entries.  However, when I try (either by drag-and-drop or using the hotkeys) the ‘Outdated Data’ message box appears and the changes aren’t made.  Sometimes it shows that the move has been completed, but when the Service Designer is reloaded or when I log into the Self-Service Portal to see they actually aren’t.  I can reorder the Offerings without an issue.There’s no one else using the Service Designer or logged into the application (as this is being done in test at the moment) so there’s no user conflict possibility.How can the Service Links be reordered, please?Thanks
