Attachment delete in forward ticket doesn't work.
by jverhoeff＠beckhoff.nl 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi all, We use OTRS 2.4.7 for windows. We work as following: We get a ticket request. If we don't know the answer, we forward this question to our supplier. We receive an answer from our supplier. We forward this to the customer. This works fine in most cases. Sometimes the answer from our supplier has some attachments (for example screenshots) When we forward this answer to the customer we delete sometimes an attachment (because it is not relevant for the customer or it contains the original case text with emailadres) When we delete an attachment is seems that other (second) attachment in the same ticket is not send. - Can someone confirm this behaviour? - Are there suggestions how can we solve this? Met vriendelijke groet, Gruß, Best Regards, Jurjen Verhoeff

SOAP error: no element found at line 1, column 0, byte -1 WORKAROUND
by Steve Durbin 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hi All, Trying to get the SOAP interface working on our live box (test box was fine!) and hit the following error: no element found at line 1, column 0, byte -1 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm No SOAP commands worked at all. Bit of browsing turned up the fact that this happens to others with other SOAP/XML issues and that it was reported and not answered here back in Nov 2009. Testing with a non-OTRS SOAP test program showed same error. Workaround found is to edit one of the perl library modules SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI::handle (you'll probably find it somewhere like /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/SOAP/Transport/HTTP.pm) And replace the sysread( STDIN, my $buffer, 1024 ) with read( STDIN, my $buffer, 1024 ) Doesn't appear to break anything here, but of course YMMV. Use at your own risk!

Fw: How to obtain specific stats
by Iyad Al-Hindi 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hi We are currently in the process of deploying and configuring OTRS. I wish to obtain very specific stats, meaning for example on the customer interface , one of the items is defined as password. But that includes tickets for VPN password , internet password, Sap password, etc... Is there a way for 'measuring' the number of incidents relating to each on...i.e VPN password..... internet password.....ap password, etc. Thanks in advance for your help, Iyad

HTTP 500 error when requesting json.pl on OTRS and Windows caused by perl path
by Richard Bartlett 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hi all, I'm running OTRS 2.4.7 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 with the customer back end pointing to an LDAP directory on Active Directory. Everything was working fine but when I installed the iPhoneHandle package (iPhoneHandle-0.9.4.opm via the OTS interface) all I could get (from the iPhone or a normal browser) was a 500 error. In the Apache error.log file I got; [Tue Aug 10 09:32:19 2010] [error] [client nn.nn.nn.nn] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : couldn't create child process: 720003: json.pl [Tue Aug 10 09:32:19 2010] [error] [client nn.nn.nn.nn] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : couldn't spawn child process: C:/Program Files/OTRS/OTRS/bin/cgi-bin/json.pl I checked the package and it was all showing as status OK in the package manager, I checked and the file c:\Program Files\otrs\otrs\bin\cgi-bin\json.pl exists, so assumed it was something other than the file just not being there. I checked json.pl and the first line pointing to perl was #!/usr/bin/perl -w. I compared it to my index.pl and substituted the line from there; #!C:/PROGRA~1/OTRS/StrawberryPerl/perl/bin/perl.exe -w .. and now everything is working fine. I might have been dumb not to check this first, but just in case anyone else had the error I thought I'd post it up as I'm sure everyone's dying to get the iPhone app up and working!

Problem with ticket numbering
by Ruslan 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hi! First we decided that our ticket numbers should consist of 8 digits. Then we admitted that it is too long. I tried to change Ticket::NumberGenerator::MinCounterSize: to 5, for example, but OTRS ignores old tickets and creates new ticket every time customer response us in old tickets. I restarted the web-server and OTRS. The problem persists. Is this task possible? What should I do? -- With best regards, Ruslan

OTRS 2.4 Auto Response Limit
by Bannard, Derek 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Is there a way to limit the number or auto responses that are sent out to the same e-mail address within a certain time period? How would I combat the described below issue? Here's my situation; Company A sends us a monthly notification e-mail to our OTRS inbox notifying us of an update to their software. Our OTRS send back a message to their reply address indicating a ticket has been created. So far so good... Company A's auto responder now sends back a message saying they have received our e-mail, and it will be processed. This is a generic e-mail, containing none of the e-mail we sent to them through the OTRS auto responder, so no ticket number. Our OTRS now sees this as a new incident, creates and new ticket and replies back. Now the loop begins in earnest. (Wash, rinse, repeat...)

How to Require Drop-Down Free Text Field With No Default Value
by Hugh Kelley 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

I have added a free text field in my tickets and made it mandatory (2). Values A, B, C, and D are allowed by the drop-down list. Currently, the ticket defaults to "A" and never prompts the agent to change the value (all of the types are equally common so there is not truly a "default") value. I want to force agents to examine this value before the ticket can be closed. How can I achieve this? I tried adding an additional entry like this at the top: $Self->{'TicketFreeText1'} = { '' => '-', However, OTRS accepted this '-' as a valid default value, which was not my intention. Thanks in advance for your suggestions, Hugh

Service items is not shown in ticket form
by Ferdinandus Rudijanto 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

Dear all I'm really new in OTRS. I like this application since it helps to manage the IT problems in my company. Now I just installed the ITSM modules. I saw new fields are added in the ticket form, e.g. Service and SLA. I added Services and SLAs, but when I create a ticket, I don't see the Service and SLA list of values in the combo box. I really appreciate anybody who can give the solution of this problem. Regards Rudi

how to use otrs tickets types/layouts
by Norbert Bede 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

hi, i'm little confused, because there are some fields which has own reason to use on incidents, but not usable on problems or general question ticket. I'm looking for something as record type (separate layout on the same object), where each record type should have own layout. this way informations are the same database but not influence users on fields which are not on the right place. is there somenthing similar in otrs ? norbert
