ITSM 5.0.6 Patch 3 Release

The following issues have been fixed in the Patch-5.0.6.3 0701 release:
45192 Email listener is no longer updating the LastMod Date time on Incident when linking an email after 506. In 506 an issue with email listener creating multiple updates to BPE. A new XSLT is provided which search and incident, create a new email object, link the email to incident. Previously, Email Listener, creates an email object, find an incident, and link incident to email. See Attached xslt.
48935 Searching via the AssociatedItemSelector bring a popup window with the results duplicated after the 20th result.
31193 Session time out and user is locked in License manager with a named License

Session times out and causes a GPF in the Smart Client for many users

The users then cannot get back into the application due to the license is used up by that user and not released with a named license file. Similar to 34087.
34087 License server Hangs and does not release named License on App Server. A new named license conflict handling is added: User ABC logged in with a Named User account, Account1. Now, while still logging, ABC wants to log in again with the same named user.

The application should pop up a dialog box asking whether or not ABC wants to log off the existing session. If yes, the Account1 will be logged off. If no, ABC can't log in.
50362 NotesBody text field is limited to a size of 2000 with Oracle database. This is known limitation Oracle varchar size. Admin now allows NotesBody be changed from text to memo field without losing data.
48089 When reducing the size of a text field, if data resides in the text field whose length is greater than the value the text field is changed to, it renders an error, and drops all data from the table
50288 Some of data (Operating System, Model) from InventoryItem is not being copied to InventoryItemSnapshot when OOB QuickActions "Create Inventory Snapshot" is run.
40771 Today Function does not work in Search Center. Fixed in content. When comparing date with Today Function, must use Date Only modifier. See attached screenshot.

41920 Error in Dashboard part chart as column 1

Create a Dashboard part (chart)

Use Assignment as base Business Object

Use a query Status <> 'Closed' And Team = Current User Team

Group the Chart by Assignee

Drill down to the Grid only

Select default for everything else

In ITSM, create an assignment to a team only (may require slight modification to make the Owner field on the Task.Assignment object not required)

In the Chart created above the first column says "Column1" (basically saying there is no data to display) When you click to drill down to the grid, no data displays even though there is records for the object
49999 Link option on tabs do not respect search constraint set up in tab container properties

[Steps to Reproduce]

1. Open Application Admin

2. New definition set

3. Go to Problem>>Views>>Problem (layout)

4. Open container properties of Incident tab

5. Set validation constraints to limit incidents based on incident.owner = problem.owner.

6. Stop services

7. Commit definition set

8. Open ITSM as Problem Manager role.

9. Make sure you have incidents owned by a specific user, otherwise create one.

10. Create new problem and set owner to same user as step #9.

11. Go to Incident tab and click on the Link button.

[Result]

Expected behavior: You should get only a list of the incidents owned by the problem owner.

Actual behavior: You get list of ALL incidents in DB.
46665 Enhancement - Ability to clear out definition cache in local disk when content upgrade is performed on ITSM server ( i.e. release). Now you can run a command in Admin to clear the definition cache. See attach document on how to clear cache.
43401 Email listener will not attach attachments if outlook is set to Plain Text.

If outlook settings have the Original message as attachment when doing a reply or a forward and the format is plain text, when the email listener creates the Email record, it will not include the original email as an attachment.

Rich Text and HTML work fine.
30151 When dashboard grid resets, scroll position is lost (drill down from 2nd tab and return)

1) Create a dashboard grid that displays a large number or records (several hundred, at least.) Set the grid to refresh about once a minute.

2) Display your grid. Start scrolling down through the grid to view the entries. Scroll about half way.

3) Wait for the grid to refresh.

Your scroll position is reset to the top of the grid.
47512 File Messaging is not working for the Journal.Notes Object. An xml file that associates a Journal.Note to an Incident works when transferred through the Data Import Link, but when using File messaging, the file goes through processing, but is not created. A sample xml file is attached.
30051 Detail Screens Selection

Running a detail screen selection activated by a category drop down references a specific member of a group object (same as out-of-the-box incident detail).

When an option in the drop down is chosen, the corresponding detail screen is created in the detail grid. If another option in the drop down is chosen, the gird does not update, and then if the form is selected in the grid a JIT debugger error message occurs.
50918 Business rules trigger multiple times based on the number of new windows that have been opened.

Steps to reproduce:

2 Open multiple windows (Ctrl-W)

3. On the last window open (or any window), change the status to trigger the business rule.

4. The business rule will execute for each window that was opened.
50003 Enhancement - Retrieve expanded attributes from Emails through FSMT Service Email Listener

Modify the Foundation FSMT Email listener to obtain the "SenderID" attribute as well as the "From" attribute from inbound emails.

This will allow customer to identify that Email approval responses were send on behalf of another person, or were sent by the individual.
44988 Error received when double-clicking an Incident from the dashboard. Key already exists. Parameter name: Key.
50058 Quick Actions when used against group only run for first item.

Known issue in patch with workaround

51770

Issue - If you create a new definition set and then open an existing definition, not everything changes (new field not added to form) are included.

Workaround - If you open definition set directly (w/o opening new definition set first), all changes are included.


51771

Issue - When you change location of service for FSMT from localhost to another server, it does not stick.

Workaround - Location of FSMT service can only be on the same server as the application server.

Workaround for Oracle Views in ITSM 5.04-5.06

In ITSM (versions from 5.04 and 5.06) the linking of external data to Oracle views is problematic (eg. you are able to see the view but no columns are presented to add, even though they exist). Below is a work around if you need to connect an Oracle view in as an External Data source.

1. Create a new definition set.
2. Create an Object (just a Standard or Validation Business Object depending on your requirements), and define all the fields that WILL appear in your database view (i.e. Mimic the structure of the view you wish to connect in an ITSM table)
3. Make sure the view does not exist in the database – drop it if necessary,
4. Commit your definition set. The system will create a table in the database.
5. Directly in the database (i.e. connect to the database with a tool such as Toad etc. not through the ITSM administrator ), drop the table.
6. Directly in the database (i.e. connect to the database with a tool such as Toad etc. not through the ITSM administrator ), create the view with the same name and in the same table space as the table that was created through ITSM administrator in Step 2 (remembering that capitalization is important in Oracle systems).
7. The system will now use the view as if it were a table, and will operate normally.

Important points:

1. If there are any changes to the format of the object in Administrator, the commit will fail, because it will try to drop the table (which doesn't exist because it is a view)
2. You will need to 2 SQL scripts – one to run before a commit, one to run after.
1. The first will drop the View, and create a table with the same structure as the view.
2. The second will drop the table and recreate the view.
3. Adjust the security for the new object that you've created so that no user can update or add to this table to prevent errors in the tool
   
4. All fields in the table must be replicated in the view, this includes RecId, LastModDateTime, LastModBy, CreatedDateTime and CreatedBy
