  • 1.  Post Upgrade From SDM 12.9 to SDM 17.1.0.11 Attach Event BHVEVTATTACH Macros Not Firing

    Posted Oct 08, 2021 05:49 AM
    Hello,

    During the testing phase of our SDM 12.9 to SDM 17.1.0.11 upgrade, we have detected that "Attach Event" macros (Code = BHVEVTATTACH) are not firing.

    There is nothing obvious within the stdlog even with pdm_logstat -n animator_nxd verbose and or pdm_logstat -a 0 set.

    We have tried following Events are not not firing in CA Service Desk Manager and dropping all rows within [mdb].[dbo].[anima]. 

    I've tried creating a new Attach Event in 17.1.0.11 but the issue remains. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot further?

    Thanks
    Stuart

    Hi Stuart,

    Any reason you upgraded to r17.1, when it just went EOS on 30 Sep 2021?

    https://community.broadcom.com/enterprisesoftware/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=3f5a001c-684a-4334-926e-8ab0120a82b1&CommunityKey=e2cd3188-49bc-4f38-88f1-74260f56fa66&tab=digestviewer#bm3f5a001c-684a-4334-926e-8ab0120a82b1

    I would suggest you upgrade the current r17.1_RU11 to r17.2 or r17.3 and apply the latest RU on top of the base upgraded supported version. If the problem still persist, then log a support case for further investigation.

    Issue/Introduction


    After ServiceDesk  17.3 environment was upgraded to 17.3.0.1, the events that should be attached to the ticket with Attach Event Macros no longer run.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create an Event with name: abcEvent
    Object Type : Request/Incident/Problem
    Delay Time: 00:00:30
    Condition : Req. Status = Open
    Repeat Delay Time : 00:00:00


    2. Create a macro with details:
    Symbol : abcMacro_to_attach_abcEvent
    Object Type : Request/Incident/Problem
    Macro Type: Attach Event
    Event : abcEvent (The one created in step1)


    3. Create another macro with details:
    Symbol : zAction on True
    Object Type : Request/Incident/Problem
    Macro Type : Action
    Macro Code : logf(SIGNIFICANT,"---> true
    action");


    4. Open Init activity notification
    Update the event with "abcEvent"


    5. Try to create R/I/P ticket.


    Result:  We see the event does not gets attached.
    Expected result: When abcEvent triggers, it need to attach the same event "abcEvent".
