SD6+ won't start anymore after upgraded OS to Win2k3!
Hi, Our production Service Desk 6 Plus won't start anymore after we upgraded the OS from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003. The service starts 'ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus' then comes the a windows 'Starting the Manage Engine ServiceDesk Plus service' until 'Loading Server Container' then the window disappear and the service is stopped again!? We are getting the following error in wrapper.log: INFO | jvm 1 | 2007/11/05 14:01:17 | Could not create connection; - nested throwable: (java.sql.SQLException:
LDAP and eDirectory Authentication
Hi All, Our organisation is considering implementing either the ServiceDesk Plus Professional or ServiceDesk Plus Enterprise ITIL Edition for our service desk management system. We are running Novell eDirectory, so the only factor preventing us from implementing ServiceDesk Plus is the lack of integration with LDAP and eDirectory authentication. Other posts on the forum said that the LDAP and eDirectory feature would be considered after the ServiceDesk Plus ITIL release. Now that this has been released
OnHold status doesn't stop escalation
Hi there! I'm using SDP 7 Professional. When a request in put OnHold, the timer status is supposed to stop. However: 1) Escalation mails are sent during the OnHold status (as if the timer didn't stop) 2) Request expiration date is not recalculated when request returns to Open 3) But requests don't expire when OnHold (as if the timer really stopped) Is this normal? I'm more concerned with the fact that escalation mails are sent even when the request is put OnHold. Thanks!
Asset fields missing when creating resource reports
Hi there! I want to create reports about my assets. I go to reports, click "New Custom Report", choose "Tabular Reports" type, select "Resources" module and click "Proceed to Report Wizard". Now in "Available Columns" not all asset fields are available (e.g. Asset Serial No). How can I make an asset report using any asset field as a column? Thanks!
Scanned Software
On version 7 (SD+) I noticed some Microsoft Products reports back the Licence Key and Product ID, which is great. But we have many of software such as Adobe, CA, Citrix and other common software were the licence and product information is not included. Is there an add on or a change that can be made to get this Info. If Not, when you change a product type to Managed, how to you add the Product ID manually.

Any tips on scanning laptops?
Hello, Does anyone have any recommended procedures to periodically scan laptops. They can be often disconnected from the local network or turned off, making scanning via active directory not work. Still, it would be VERY useful to periodically scan them. This must often come up and I hope someone has already figured out some bright ways to deal with this. Ben
Question about database table
I just noticed that the aaaaccsession table in the database, which contains information about end-user login sessions, is massive, currently at 367,148 rows in our system. I have watched the progress during backups, and it takes a very long time to dump this table into a backup file. Is it really necessary to keep a record of every login session back to the time the software was first installed? I am wondering if I can safely delete some or all of the session records (since we don't really need them)
Monitors
I have created an IT asset called monitor and imported a load of monitor assets in to it. The only way I can see to attach them to a computer or user is with add relationship. Is this correct? I have a monitor now that has dies and want to remove its relationship but can't see any way to do that! Thanks Richard

New announcement with Canadian French keyboard layout
Good day, I think I found a bug ... When i'm trying to create a new announcement in SD+7, in the announcement content box I can't seem to type an "@". The key sequence to create an @ sign using a Canadian French keyboard layout is 'Alt or Alt-Char' + 2 which does increase the size of the text instead of typing the character. This shortcut would have to be modified to something different in a way to avoid conflict. Thanks
Possibility to automatically update the subject of tickets via business rule
We see an interesting usage of the subject customization to make intercommunication with other helpdesk (of suppliers or customers). IT could be fine to have a business rule that force the fact to update the ticket subject on some specific conditions with the one coming from specific sources. In this way for example, it could be possible to make two helpdesk sync between them maintaining on the subject both helpdesk id. Actually is possible to edit the subject manually on every ticket. It could be

Feature request forum or Roadmap ?
Nothing unusual but I'm a little confused as to whether the forum feature request section http://forums.adventnet.com/viewforum.php?f=92 or the roadmap section http://roadmap.manageengine.com/index.php?category=SupportCenterPlus should be used. Which is read and taken note of most, both by the end users and Adventnet? Thanks, Andy

SD+ crashes after every schedule backup job failure
Hi, After my scheduled backup job fails, my SD+ 7.0 server crashes. I get the following error log in an email: Dear Admin, ServiceDesk Plus database seems to be corrupted, So please contact your database Administrator [OR] servicedesk support for further assistance to recover your data forward this mail and support file(s) to support@servicedeskplus.com java.sql.SQLException: TDS Protocol error: Invalid packet type 0xd1 at net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.TdsCore.nextToken(TdsCore.java:2284) at net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.TdsCore.getNextRow(TdsCore.java:761)
Custom filter view testing for nothing
We have been putting together some custom views but have hit a snag on one of them. We have a numeric field in which we put a case reference number if the job is being handled by a third party. I can create a view where the filter tests for a figure, i.e. "is not 0", but I cannot get the reverse to work, i.e. "is 0" or similar. This shows no results. So I can filter to show all of the jobs that are with the third party, but I can't filter the reverse way around, jobs that are still with us. Any thoughts
Does SD+ integrate with Exchange

Mobile Devices or API for client to interface
1. Is there a plan to test ServiceDesk Plus on mobile devices or to create a separate versions for mobile devices? The mobile devices do not have same capabilities as desktop internet users. 2. Is there an API for ServiceDesk Plus where clients/users can interface with the software and program modules to perform special tasks? If so, which programming language or scripts do we use?
