IFS assyst

We are pleased to announce that assyst 25R1 SU2 is now available to download from our CDN.   Within this release, Miniconda has been completely removed from the assyst installer, eliminating any dependency on Conda for AI Server installation. This change was implemented due to recent licensing updates from Anaconda Inc. If you use the AI Server, IFS recommends upgrading to a version of assyst that no longer relies on Miniconda (assyst 24R2 SU6 or assyst 25R1 SU2 and later). This release also contains a fix for P16802. The release notes can be viewed here

Hi all,How can I find the name of the fields I need to reference in ETM via dot notation? For example, if I am in a datamapper where the assyst Resource is Event I would reference the outbound value of the Event id as outbound,self.id. If I want to reference the status I would use outbound.self.eventStatusEnum. This is not obvious to me. I would think it would be outbound.self.status or something similar. What I am looking for is a reference guide or any way to find every attribute of every object.Thanks.Trevor

Hi everyone,i just started to create my own BiRT report templates by using the latest Version of BiRT 4,20. After some try an error i created a report template which works in the BiRT editor.When i upload the template file to the Assyst report section i get an “invalid File” error message. I also tried to edit an IFS distributed report-template whith no success. Here i get some different error messages like “file is invalid for the report wizard, a minimum of one filter parameter is needed”. When  i edit the file in the BiRT editor and try to save it i get a hint that this fiel was created with an earlier verison of BiRT.Does anyone have an idear how i can create a working template for assyst? Or which version of BiRT i need to create a compatible reportfile? thanks & kind regardsDaniel

Hi!I am having some difficulties trying to get the Base64 value from attachments uploaded to Assyst when working from within an ETM data mapper. I’m currently working in IPaaS 1.8 and Assyst 24R2.The issue I’m trying to solve is for an ETM channel to automatically trigger when a new event is created in a specific service offering, and for ETM to then use the event and its uploaded CSV attachment as input for triggering a specialized import.To facilitate this, I’ve created a serialized-CSV-to-JSON mapping function, that works of output from common.decodeBase64ToString so that I can feed this resulting JSON onwards to this specialized data mappers that performs the assyst import.The destination, channel, common.decodeBase64ToString, CSV→JSON parsing function, and subsequent import all work as expecte

I have a question regarding the use of the Event Monitor in assyst 11.8.3 or later.Is there a way to capture the Selected Answer on a ticket that has one or more approvals?In other words, if a ticket goes through multiple approval steps, how can I identify which answer was chosen via the Event Monitor?

Hello. We have a custom field added to our Contact User form for job title. There is a requirement to add the value of the job title to the info zone for the affected user and reporting user, but I am unable to determine if custom fields can be used in the Contact User Field Definitions System Parameter. Contact User form: We’d like the value to appear here:  Can anyone let me know if they have been able to configure custom field values to be visible on the info zone, or if this is even possible.  Thank you.  Duncan  

I have a problem with the Assyst Web homepage -  when I configure the layout and add monitors or reports, everything looks fine. However, after I reload the page or leave the homepage and return - I can’t see any of the reports or monitors. Assyst remembers the layout and what I placed in each panel, but instead of the content I only see a grey background with “EVENT MONITOR” or “REPORT” in the panel header. We’re running Assyst on-premise -  version 24R2 SU3 and I have full administrator permissions. Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

Does ETM/IPaaS support mTLS authentication? The context for this question is the creation of an ETM HTTP source channel and/or HTTP Request Mappers that we wish to authenticate to a suppliers kafka REST proxy. This proxy has a preferred authentication scheme of utilizing mTLS to securely authorize our supplier to our network, and vice versa. The use of passwords is possible, but is less secure and triggers higher levels of scrutiny during risk assessment, and is thus as a general rule not a preferred method.I can only find information about the use of certificates for OAuth, and its lack of inclusion under Authentication would hint at mTLS not being supported. I’m however asking in case there’s something I’ve missed or misunderstood in the possibilities present

The context for this inquiry is a close partner/supplier who uses Kafka as a message broker, and they have a desire to use it to send and recieve event information for events that should be mirrored in their ITSMs and our Assyst without also having to set up a Kafka REST Proxy unless absolutely necessary.AssystETM utilizes ActiveMQ as its message bus and can be set up to consume messages from other ActiveMQ message buses than the dedicated assyst one. However, a pull based message broker such as kafka does not seem to be mentioned in the wiki.I don’t have high hopes this is possible out of the box as of now, and it sounds ill-advised for us to try adding a Kafka client OSGi bundle to IPaaS ourselves😅. That being said, is this something that has been tested or done before, or is native support for using Kafka or another message broker something that is in the works or has been considered?Native support for Kafka sounds like something that could be a common u

Hi all, I am trying to reference an incident (Event) in ETM via the Event Ref and Event Type field (I cannot use the Event ID) but ETM keeps throwing an error … The database and the wiki appear to show the int 4 as a valid value. The domain model refers to getEventTypeEnum. Can anyone tell me what is causing this error?Thanks!Trevor

I’m using ETM 1.10.0 and assyst 11.8.4Within the ETM I want to have additional affected users added to an event after it’s created.  (We’re using the Destination process to feed details in the ETM after the event is created.)The mapper resource is set the Event, and I use ‘Record to Update’ to search for the event.  However, although the ETM datamapper gets the correct additional users to add, the result is always ‘No update needed’.This is the only update required on the mapper.  Is there something else I need to select, or some way to force the update, please?

Hi!I have a question about using action templates and referring to custom fields on an event logging form. TLDR: Is there an easy way to get the value and/or shortCode from a specific customField, either by making VTLs in substitution keywords, or directly in an action template? I’m lookint for something similar to how visibility expressions can refer to a custom fields, and if possible how to get a list from multi-select fields.  Some context:Today a lot of time is spent on copy-paste from Assyst to Outlook when our IT users have to send email from certain postboxes, such as when comunicating with certain suppliers.We want to recude time spent on copy-paste from Assyst by pre populating most or all of the email from data already entered into an event. In this effort, we want to make action templates that create the emails for easy copy-paste into Outlook, and this template then needs to extract some

Hello,I have a question about the use of deep linking to Assyst resources when data mapping in ETM. I’d love some feedback on my current approach,  and whether there are other approaches I haven’t considered. TL;DRIs it possible in ETM to refer to the AssystREST URL that is specified in the IPaaS/ETM installation, as to create deep linking to the same Assyst environment ETM is attached to? Are there other ways to do deep linking in Assyst ETM? BackgroundOur IT users spend a lot of time trying to find the correct menu for a given resource and waiting through load times during manual lookups. Because of this, direct links to resources are almost always preferred to use speed up the process.When working on integrations in Assyst ETM, I thus often find it helpful to add deep links to Assyst resources (e.g., specific actions, events, items), which would normally only be added as plain text shortCode during ma

Is there a way to pull Event Info into an auto generated email when you submit a ticket in assystNET and assystWEB?Currently, our “Thank you” email provides the ticket number etc. and then the Event Description (EVENT_DESC).  The issue with that is that it shows ALL questions in the form even if they were hidden and/or not filled out. The data we want to show in the email are ONLY the questions that were answered (what shows in assystNET once submitted)We just want to hide any unanswered questions in the notification email. Currently, it shows like this:[[INCIDENT DESCRIPTION\DESCRIPTION DE L'INCIDENT]]No description entered.

I have logged an idea for this, but am wondering whether anyone may have a better idea of achieving this?We have a custom logging form that has a custom item lookup, and what I would like to be able to do is provide the user with a short summary of what that item is/does. It doesn’t look like the we are able to amend the column profile that appears in the item lookup so it includes a remarks field from the CMDB, so the only way currently to achieve this is to create a caption field and manually enter the text - but for 100’s of items, this is not feasible. Ideally, what I would like to happen is when an item is selected, the next custom is a caption that is configured dynamically pull through the information stored in the remarks field of that item in the CMDB - only needing 1 caption field instead of 100’s. This currently isn’t possible, and logged an idea for this 5 months ago, still with no solution.Is anyone able to advise if there is a be

Hi, is it possible to display a read-only field in the Item Form which shows the information that is stored in supplier master data (e.g. Remarks field)? 

Hello.We are just beginning to look at using assyst Destination along with ETM to configure some integrations. I have created an ETM channel with a destination source, but the ID of the entity is not being passed through when the entity is being created.  Destination: I know that the destination is working, because when I take the action, an import is coming through to ETM. However, ETM is saying that there are 0 records to import: I have also inspected the message that is coming through ActiveMQ, and the ID is indeed included as part of the message body.  Any help would be appreciated.  assyst Version: 24R2 SU4

So I know I can get an array of the various custom fields with the following query parameter, but there is more benefit to be able to retrieve the value for a custom field by wither Short Code or custom field ID.  Is that even possible?   If so, what is the syntax to do so?returns all single select custom fields for specified event.“.../assystREST/v2/events/7430?fields=customFields.singleSelectValue”looking to return a specific custom field’s value either by ID or Short CodeThanks in advance for any help

Hi everyone,Is it possible in the Item form to compute a field directly while saving the Item, or alternatively via a trigger to the Action Processor?Here’s the scenario:We have two fields:Item End Date Item Notification DaysWe’d like to automatically calculate and keep updated a third field:Item Notification Date = Item End Date - Item Notification DaysThe Item Notification Date should be a read-only field, managed entirely by the system.Has anyone implemented something similar or found a reliable approach to achieve this?Thanks in advance!
