Apache closed connection while updating ITSM
by Juan Manuel Clavero Almirón 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

Hello, I was upgrading ITSM (from 3.0.5 to 3.1.5) using AdminPackageManager but Apache closed connection. Afterwards, ITSM appeared upgraded but all its submodules not (ITSM was in 3.1.5, ITSM-Core and others where in 3.0.5). Anyone has any clue as to why it happened and how to prevent it? Kind regards, Juan Clavero

I need to close about 25,000 tickets all with the same email address. I was hoping to do this within the MySQL Workbench or at the command line. Can anyone assist me in executing this command?

Fehlermeldung nach Update auf 3.1.10

Hi ! seit Update auf 3.1.10 können keine Telefon-tickets mehr erstelt werden. Im Log erscheint folgender Fehler. Sep 25 15:46:08 support-test OTRS-CGI-68[16271]: [Error][Kernel::System::DynamicField::DynamicFieldUpdate][Line:356]: Need ID! Ich habe im Admin-Handbuch gelesen, dass aus den FreetextFelder jetzt Dynamische Felder geworden sind. Wir hatten Freetextfelder im Einsatz, wenn ich im ADMIN-Bereich unter "Dynamic Fields" gucke, wird mir nichts angezeigt. Hätten die alten FreetextFelder nicht migriert werden müssen ?! Oder muss ich noch an anderer Stelle etwas aktivieren ?! Jeder Tip ist gern genommen. Steffi

SLA tied to Priority
by Derek Kiely 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hi, I am currently looking for a way to automatically tie Priority to SLA. If I update the priority of a ticket then I want to SLA to also be changed. Is this possible? I have seen people mention that it can be done via genericagent.pm does anyone have an example of how to do it this way? What I am trying to achieve is the following: Services: Standard, Premium and Premium Plus. SLA: 1 hour update, 2 hour update, 4 hour update, 24 hour update. So if I have a ticket that is created by a customer with Service = Standard and the Ticket Priority = P5 then the SLA =24 hour update, If I increase the priority to P1 then SLA should automatically =1 hour update. Thanks in advance for your help. Derek Kiely

Migrating Free Fields from OTRS2 to OTRS3
by Zhang, Shuai 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

I defined some free fields in my OTRS Helpdesk 2.4. After I upgrading to 3.1, only fields like 'Due Date' are properly translated. Everything else are in Z_Deprecated, how do I use them as before? And any way to translated them? Do I need to manual add them to dynamic fields one by one?

Re: [otrs] Customer field won't populate in new tickets
by Mark Dissington 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Just a quick update on this as I found some time to do some in-depth digging. It _was_ an issue with themes, but almost impossible to track down. Back in the dim and distant past (otrs 2.4.x) we did indeed have our own themes. But after upgrading to 3.0.x the default theme was much better so we just decided to use it instead and never bothered with our own anymore and it was removed - however, some user accounts still had the old theme referenced against their accounts in the DB, but, and it's a BIG but, in the user preferences screen in the GUI (both Admin GUI and the users own preferences page) the Theme dropdown not only showed the user's Frontend theme as being the Standard one - it didn't even have the entry for the old theme in the dropdown list - there was no way to tell that the Standard theme wasn't selected on the accounts with the issue as it was the only one shown. I had to manually go through the user_preferences table and change every user's UserTheme entry to "Standard" manually using SQL. I suppose the real issue is that the GUI didn't display in the user's preferences the actual value set in the DB, rather just a pre-populated list of currently valid themes - so there was no way to tell that an invalid Theme was chosen without looking at the data in the DB directly. Anyway, fixed now.

Problems with group of email
by Carlos Ribas 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

Hello all, I set up my system to automatically respond to the customer when a new ticket is created. It works if the customer uses its own email (eg customer(a)company.com) but it does not work using a group of email (eg noc(a)company.com or support(a)company.com) I can´t understand what happens. Anybody knows why I can´t use group of email? Best regards, ------------------------------- Carlos Eduardo Ribas

OTRSMasterSlave won't work with old master-slave relations
by Juan Manuel Clavero Almirón 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

Hi all, I don't know if there's any MasterSlave list or forum going on, so I've decided to send this here. Sorry if it's not convenient and gladly would receive any URL or email to post or send this email to. We are currently using OTRS 3.0 on our production environment and I'm testing OTRS 3.1 upgrade on a test system (with production data). I've been having problems with MasterSlave upgrade. I've followed the steps in http://forums.otterhub.org/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=15497, but they didn't seem to work for me, so I'll tell the problems I had and how I solved them: - Dynamic Field was not properly upgraded: there is a Dynamic Field created by the OTRS 3.1 upgrade script, called 'TicketFreeText12', named 'MasterSlave', but it was invalid and didn't match value in MasterSlave::DynamicField + Solved via SQL, because there was a problem defining an empty Possible Value via Sysconfig. + UPDATE dynamic_field SET name='MasterSlave', label='MasterSlave', valid_id=1 WHERE id='24'; - Old Master Slave relations (those created in 3.0 environment) were no longer recognized. + It seemed to be because the dynamic field value of the slaved ticket now stores the ticketnumber of the master ticket. + I've solved using the attached script. It will gather all the old slave ticket and try to re-slave them to the first target of a Parent-Child link which happens to be a Master Ticket. + I know is not a perfect solution, but we don't have much links between tickets, most slave tickets have just one Parent-Child relation and, of those that have more than one Parent-Child relation, normally only one of them would be master, so it pretty much keeps everything together. + Of course, if you have this problem, your situation may vary and you should customize and test in a test environment before applying to a production system. Kind regards, Juan Clavero
