Maintenance Features Request
It would be nice to see a few features that would facilitate the day to day system administration. These are 1: Schedule a daily backup with option to ftp the file to a server 2: removal of log files older than n months / days (logs are getting very big) 3: compressing remaining log files older n days 4: archiving data older n month or giving a time span. 5: add functionality for archieving or removing historical data Any plans to provide such functionality?
Java Script Errors ver5.5
I am getting a few java scipt errors with version 5.5 Basically all pages display an error (indicated in the browser lower left bottom) but opening the Request Page from the tab shows the following message. Exception occurred when executing post invoke script setSearchTitle('Search','Go') Msg: Object expected. cant give version 5.5. to users that way. Did also restart browsers. IE6
BUG: Putting a 'z' (lower case) into the ticket description
Okay, here's a REALLY weird bug. If you create a NEW ticket with a letter 'z' as the leading character (either by email submission or by typing it into the description field of a ticket) you get an error. If it was sent by email, if the first character has a lower case z, it will NOT create a ticket. If it was submitted by web... typing a lower case 'z' (anywhere) gives the error seen in the attached screenshot. Any more really weird surprises? :-) Justin
Stack Overflow at line: 1706
I am trying to add an asset to SD+ 5500. When setting the acquisition date, I try and select a date from 2005 and I get the error message Stack Overflow at line: 1706 3 times. I also get the error message on expiry date if I select a date outside 2006. Any Ideas?
Type Software Maintenance

CPU running at 100% for Java after trying to open Solution
Hi, my CPU is running at 200% (100% but 2 CPS) for the Java Process and the system responds very slowly. I noticed that after clicking on the Solutions Tab the CPU utilization remains at 100%. The solutions page itself does not load anymore and there must be a bug in it. We allocated 512mb of shared memory to service desk. it is the only application running on the LINUX, Fedora C5 server and I have changed the memory allocation for java in the run.sh Xms256m/Xmx512mb. Need to fix this urgently. Thanks
Close a request
Hi, I am trying to test trial version on SD+ 5.5. I have some questions about the access permissions. I make a role name call "SDhotline" which has "View", "Add" access level. When one member of this group made a request, I suppose the hotline can't Edit and Close the request. But when he/she go to "Actions"=>"Enter Resolution" which has "Save and Close" button to let him close this log... Please help. On the other hand, Is there any change management product or method on SD+ Thanks for help. Alan.
Firefox browser unable to type text into Reply the Requester
With this new version (5500), I'm unable (in Firefox) to type in any text in the Reply (to the requester) details section of the screen. I had other problems in other details entry screens on occasion. Can this be rectified? I've never had problems like this in prior versions of SD+ Justin
Did not mean to spam
When writing my post Purchase Order & Contract Management Show Stoppers, I got an error. I didn't realize that I submitted three times. I am currently running IE 7.0 Beta 3. Please see attached error message. Again sorry about that, Justin B.
Cannot Delete Status
Is there a way to delete a Status. We have defined a status but no longer wish to use it anymore. The status is not used in any request anymore, but I guess its referenced somewhere int the request History, hence I get an error message when trying to delete the status. Thanks Alex
Technician login and Active Directory
I am currently evaluating your servicedesk plus and i have a question about the login. I can see that the system will allow you to use AD as authentication method for login, but when you do use that the user is logged in as a requestor, the admin is logged in as the admin. Is there any way to tell the system that certain users are technicians, without the techs having to remeber another username/password just for SD+ ? thanks
solutions database and closing
I am just testing the entering resolutions into the latest release of Service Desk and notice that we can now enter a resolution and close. That is fantastic and is something I and my team have wanted for a long time. THe minor issue i have noticed is that there is not the option to save to include resolution in the resolutions database and close at the same time. Could this be included? Perhaps just a tick box?? thanks PEter

Missing Time Spent Data
I updated my helpdesk software from version 5010 to 5500 today. While looking around at the new features, I noticed that the 'Time Entry' portions of the requests that we have done both presently and in the past is gone. My IT Department keeps track of its time utilizing that data and it is imperative that we get that back somehow. We backed up our data and can go back to a prior version, however I would prefer to keep up to date with the new version. I would really appreciate some help getting my
Archiving
Could we have a request archiving feature please? Basically a second level of "closed". This would prove useful to save cluttering some of the views with cases that are so minor or maybe repeated that it is unlikely that they are relevant any more. However, keep them available in the "archive" so that they can be searched if necessary. I say this having seen how we are starting to amass similar requests for the same thing. If we can mark one definitive answer as "sticky" and let the other archive.
Email Announcements
Hi, I would like to know if it is possible or if it could be included in future releases for System Announcements to be sent via email as well as included on the interface. We have a global address list associated to one specific email address and if the announcement could be sent to that one email address as well all my users would get the announcement straight away rather than waiting till then log into the servicedesk system. Any thought would be greatly received. Many thanks, Ollie Wright.
Department head role
Hi, Can you tell me when the Department head role for requesters will be ready? I was expecting it in this latest release.
Merge doesn't assign the technician?
I could be wrong, but I noticed this morning that where a response from the user becomes orphaned from the original thread, if I merge and reply to the remerged email, the technician field in the response is empty.
Enhancement Idea?
It would be really handy to be able to change the category of a call in much the same way you can assign an engineer. From either the screen showing "Open requests" or the View Request screen rather than open it. Steve
Hebrew translation
We are interesting in translation of front-end ( requester portal only) to Hebrew Do we have any options to change it ? Thanks
technician notification not working
I keep experiencing this issue and was hoping this upgrade would resolve but did not. I also discussed with one of your techs and they did not know either. After a request is created and you email the technician assigned to the request the link that appears in the tech's inbox is not valid. Comes up with "The page cannot be displayed". The weird thing is SDP actually displays the link but when you hover your mouse over the link it displays "http:///", you can copy the link and paste in browser and
Restoring Data Hangs
When trying to restore data the RESTORE DATA IN PROGRESS window just keeps running. The window has been running for over 10 minutes. How long does a restore generally take? Am I doing something wrong? I followed all directions in the user manual. I am attempting to move the data from an old PC to a new server. Thank you, Ken W

Open and Unassigned shows On Hold as well?
I have just looked at my Open and Unassigned requests and I noticed that I am also seeing the nine requests that are ON HOLD.
DATABASE IS GONE !!
Before installing the update to 5500 i backed up the database and now when ServiceDesk starts up, it is like a fresh install. ALL MY DATA IS GONE !! why will this not restore back?? I cannot even un-install it...the data was very important and now it is all gone. Please help me get it all back !!! You guys should test this stuff before releasing it, not wait for people to tell you that it's fucked !!
Preventative
When creating a preventative, I can't seem to save it with the mode = NONE. It will save it as email or one of the other two but not with NONE. It isn't anything major.
Script Error after updating to 5.5 from v 5 hotfix 5010

Here is the message: exception occured when executing post invoke script setSearch ('Search','Go') msg : object expected. No luck unintallling the latest version as it won't let me. Anyone else run into this? Thanks.
time entries lost when merging tickets
try something like this on version Build Number : 5010 - create two tickets, add time entries to them - merge these tickets you will find that one of the time entries is lost is there any fix for this? jacek
New tickets created every 2 mins
No valid command found is the title from our email system. I have attached a copy of the request. We get them every few mins. Over the weekend we had over 3000. They only thing we can think that may be causing this is that the technicians are no longer able to be selected in the requester field. Therefore no email address is matched. Any ideas? Thanks. Michelle

When i try to import users from Active Directory Domain its shows numbers of users but it Failed to add Record. 2. 2nd thing is there is any way so that user can view his own workstation inventory which is assigned to him. Thanks Aamir
ServiceDesk will not start after Hotfix 5500
Hi I've been evaluating SD as a possible support tool. Having seen the latest hotfix deals with the old 3mb attachment limit I decided to rebuild the server and reinstall from scratch with the base build plus the hotfix. Worked fine after the main install, but after applying the hotfix the servicedesk service will not start. I had hoped this hotfix would cure the problem of HTML code appearing in emails but will have to wait and see. Can anyone please advise which logs need to be checked and what
Plain Text Option gone
There used to be a "Plain Text" option available when replying to requesters. I can no longer find this option and GroupWise 5.5 will not work correctly with your HTML emails. The message body is always empty.
Subject line in a preventative maintenance request
I set up a daily request to check some log files and I noticed that this morning the request came in as follows. Subject line: SERVICE DESK: Request ID :RCPS 301 has been added to queue $Queue Does $Queue mean unassigned, which is where it lands? Thanks
Ticket Mouseover Detail
Would it be possible to show the full request title in the details box that pops up when you mouse-over a request in the list? We use title prefixing to assist in auto-assignment which makes for a longer request title and I have to open each request to know what it's specifically talking about since I can't see the full title in the list or the mouse-over.
Upgrade - HTTP 400 Bad Request
Hi, I'm testing out ServiceDesk as we need a help desk solution for the Charity that I work for. I am running windows 2003 server and had the software working fine. Since upgrading to 5.5 I now get the HTTP 400 Bad Request in IE. I have tried clearing cookies and cache with no luck. The server has been rebooted also. I am running IE 7 Beta 3 but have tested it on 6 to no avail. Please let me know asap so I can continue evaluating your software. Many thanks, Ollie Wright

Link between software and assets - MySQL
Has anyone discovered how the software (in the softwarelist table in the database) and the assets for licenses (assetdetails table) are linked? I'm writing some custom reports, and can't find where this link is. I'd like to be able to pull out of the database a piece of software and see the number of licenses associated with it. Many thanks Jim Mills Bluestone plc
