Form customizations and management packs

Is there any way to determine if an out of the box form such as Incident has been modified in any way using the authoring tool and if so, can you determine which management pack the changes were saved in?
I would like to modify a form but I don't know if the person that was maintaining SM before me did anything with it and if so, where the changes are stored.

Just thought I would provide an update since there was so much time put into this thread. I exported the management pack I have been trying to open with the Authoring Tool and using Notepad, found and removed the following:
      <Reference Alias="CustomMicrosoft_SystemCenter_ServiceManager_ChangeRequestActionLog">
        <ID>Microsoft.SystemCenter.ServiceManager.ChangeRequestActionLog</ID>
        <Version>7.5.2017.6</Version>
        <PublicKeyToken>31bf3856ad364e35</PublicKeyToken>
Imported the MP back into SM and then exported again and was able to successfully open the MP with the Authoring Tool. Doing this in test of course and have no idea what else references the above or why it's there. It's unfortunate the MP is not available
so you can just point the Authoring Tool at it but it also proves this was the last major road block.
I suppose it could be possible to make your form update and before importing, manually put the above back in the MP before importing but that would be a pain and prone to error at some point.
After making my change to the form and saving the changes, I imported the MP back in and received 54 of the following warnings:
Unsealed management packs should not contain type definitions. The element WorkItemGroup.3bb30997a36a4bd0889515981829573a of type ManagementPackClass found in an unsealed management pack.
I don't think this has anything to do with the change I made. I believe these issues existed before I removed the reference to the MP but you just could not see them because you could never open the MP with the Authoring Tool.

Required Trigger To be Oracle Application Forms Customization and its order

Hi All,
I am new to oracle application forms customization.
Can you please answer following?
What are the triggers required to be overrided for forms customization in oracle appliocation?
What is the order of trigger event occurrs when forms comes up in Oracle application?
Thanks
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
There are a number of triggers in Oracle forms. They are basically 4 types
1. Form level
2. Block Level
3. Record Level
4. Item Level
Again there are subclassifications.
The firing sequence depends on your action. If you make a change in an item and save the item level triggers fire for the item you changed. Then the record level triggers fire. However if you are click in an item(you are technically navigating to the item) the record level(when new record instance-WNRI) fires and then the item level trigger(when-new-item-instance WNII) fires.
So it depends on the situation. Look in the forms tool help sections. The have some good discussions there.
Now to 'override' triggers. I am assuming you plan to extend oracle standard forms. The best way to do this is use the CUSTOM.pll. Oracle forms call this .pll in various triggers such as WNRI, WNII etc. You can add your logic here and it will take effect and will be upgrade safe. Nowadays they have forms personalization. Take a look at this also to determine the best way.
You may want to read the Application developers guide from metalink and they have a good discussion there on forms customization. It also talks about the CUSTOM.pll
The scope of forms is huge and you would be better of taking a
1. Forms course
2. quick look through the forms section of the developer's guide and understand the concepts
3. Honing on the customizations you want to do and start working on that specific component.
4. Look in Metalink which has a lot of info on forms and forms forums.
This is actually a Framework forum which deals with Web applications :-)
Thanks

Create multiple management packs and groups

Hi,
I wonder if it is a way to create a lots of Groups and management packs automatically/scripted.
My problem is that I have a list with about 200 services that I need to setup monitoring for.
The monitoring are simple, its just if the service are started or stopped.
I need to have one management pack and one group for each service.
Like this:
The monitor monitors the service "workstation" if its started or stopped.
The monitor needs to be created in a management pack with this name: "Custom-Service-workstation"
The agents that I want to monitor this on need to be members of the group "Group-Custom-Service-workstation"
Please, please help me with this.

You may refer to the following blog for

Looking for a SQL query to get all the possible Alert Messages from the Rules in a Management Pack

For reporting, I'm looking to get a SQL query of all the possible Alert Messages for Rules configured in a Management Pack (not necessarily the ones that have thrown alerts). I can do this for Monitors, but not for Rules.
The configured alert messages for the Management Pack Monitors
go like this: ManagementPack > MonitorView> RuleModule > RuleModule.Alert Message > Localized Text
The configured alert messages for the Management Pack Rules
should go something like this, but there is a missing link: ManagementPack > RuleView > RuleModule > ? Missing Link ? > Localized Text
The Rules are tied to the Module, but I don't see a connection from the RulesModule to the Alert Message that I see in the LocalizedText. The Rule names do not always equal the Alert name.
Can someone provide the missing link?

Hi,
please try below powershell code to find the corresponding management pack for specific alert:
$Alert = get-scomalert | where {$_.Name -like 'Agent Proxy Not Enabled*'} | select -first 1
If ($alert.IsMonitorAlert -eq "True") {
write-host "Ths is a monitor-generated alert"
get-scommonitor -ID $Alert.MonitoringRuleID | select Enabled, DisplayName, ManagementPack
else
write-host "This is a rule-generated alert"
get-scomrule -ID $Alert.MonitoringRuleID | select Enabled, DisplayName, ManagementPack
In addition, please also refer to the below link:

Management packs and upgrades

I am new to my position and to Service Manager. I can see such great potential of what Service Manager can do and how easy it could be to work with it however my company is afraid to make changes. They have said that not to far in the past
they did some customization and when they did the upgrade to 2012 r2 they lost everything - data included. They couldn't give me quite enough details as those that performed the task are no longer here. It went along the lines of a technician built management
packs that customized the screens. When they did the upgrade the management packs could no longer be used which resulted in them not being able to bring forward the data. They say they worked with Microsoft on the issue. From what I have been reading
this just doesn't sound like something that could happen in this extreme. However, they are now adamant that we cannot customize anything because of this. They want to use the system however people are miserable with it as out of the box just doesn't
fit what they need. How can I convince them that customization is not evil and precautions can be taken when upgrading where everything does not have to be redone?

You're dealing with psychology. Your company had a bad experience and now don't even want to risk that bad experience again.
It would definitely help to know what the heck your previous technicians did that could screw up Service Manager _that_ bad..especially if they were only customizing screens (I assume they were extending or creating forms).
But.. for some general advice on how to keep customizations "safe" and maybe calm your manager's fears, these are the guidelines I follow:
If your customizations include creating your own classes or relationships, always keep them in separate sealed management packs. Data warehouse extensions should also be kept in separate sealed MPs.
Console tasks, custom forms/form extensions, should generally be kept in their own management packs (sealed or unsealed).
Workflow rules, templates, and notification templates should be generally kept in their own unsealed management packs (so they can be easily modified from the console).
Since this is an extensible system, you should be doing regular backups of the Service Manager database. That way if someone messes something up really bad, you can always restore from a backup and lose maybe a day's worth of data.
Lastly, and most importantly, Service Manager is meant to be extended. Microsoft builds platforms. They don't build programs that can do everything. They build programs that can be _made_ to do everything. Every company is different..each has their
own flare for process, their own take on how a program should work. Service Manager is flexible enough to allow you to introduce your own flare and your own take on things. Instead of adapting your processes to Service Manager, you can adapt Service Manager
to your processes.
The downside, of course, is that with flexibility comes risk. Folks who extend these programs should be pretty familiar with how the underlying platform works. But if you take necessary precautions (follow the guidelines, do regular backups, etc) you can
reduce the risk significantly.
That's just my 2 cents :)

Sealed and unsealed management pack in scom ?

Dear all ,
What is Difference between sealed and unsealed management pack in scom?
I know like override alert can not be saved in sealed MP , is there any thing else ?
Sengo.

Hi,
A sealed management pack is a binary file that cannot be edited. An unsealed management pack is an XML file that can be edited. Sealed management packs should have an .mp extension, while unsealed management packs should have an .xml extension.
In general, management packs obtained from an application or hardware device vendor are sealed.
Although you cannot change the settings in a sealed management pack, you can still customize the applied settings of a management pack after it is imported by using overrides or by creating additional settings such as rules, monitors, and tasks that supersede
the management pack's default settings. All customizations that you create are saved to a separate management pack file.
Management packs can only reference another management pack if the management pack that is referenced is sealed

Management Packs and direct connected agents (without SCOM)

Hi Guys,
It´s possible to install and use Management Packs (such as SharePoint Management pack) without SCOM? I mean, collect sharepoint management data using MP and send it to azure operational insights directly (using Monitoring agent only)?
Thanks and Best Regards
Hélio Sá Moreira
Chief Technology Officer

No, because Operations manager MPs have discoveries of objects and monitors to calculate state and groups that need to be calculated by a management server.... all things that today OpInsights doesn't do, as OpInsights is not SCOM.
But you can collect your logs from those workloads and run your own intelligence (in the form of searches) against them i.e.
Monitoring SQL Backup Failures with Azure Operational Insights Search and Dashboards
IIS Management Pack Event-Alerting Rules’s OpInsights Searches Equivalents
The two approaches are not opposed, but complementary: SCOM is not meant to keep a very big data volume in the on-premises databases, and a lot of its alerting and intelligence that happens down at the AGENT level. This is performant, but lacks correlation
capabilities, since you can easily get duplicate alerts from multiple agents.
In Operational Insights we look at volumes of data to aid with rich troubleshooting scenarios, investigations and deep dives (often following up from a SCOM alert) allowing to span across all that data.
Check what other data sources other customers are asking to bring in Operational Insights
http://feedback.azure.com/forums/267889-azure-operational-insights/category/88086-log-management-and-log-collection-policy
Hope that helps,

Apex and the Oracle Change Management Pack

Hi everyone
I'm looking for some feedback from anyone that has used the Oracle Change Management Pack (CMP) with an Apex development (or is it really only for Oracle Apps)?
Could the CMP be used against the APEX_04000 schema to sync a Dev environment with Test and Production? If so, this would nicely lead into an Agile approach to development, even perhaps Continuous Deployment :)
I'm concerned that I can't find anything on the web about Apex and the CMP, so I suspect it can't be done :(
Any comments gratefully recieved.
Shunt

You are going to have to provide a lot more information for anyone to help you from the basic ... like in what version ... to the specific ... what functionality do you want?
In general none of the "packs" run any code not in the database in the form of built-in packages. For example much of the functionality of OEM Grid is implenented in DBMS_ADVISOR, DBMS_MONITOR, DBMS_SERVER_ALERT, etc.
But without specific questions no specific answer is possible.
You can find demos of the above referenced packages here:

It takes me a lof of time to comprehend the sentence you write. Cause I am a Chinese. My poor English.
I have to say "you are genius". I used to use the indesign CS2. There is no GREP function in CS2. When I get the new script, I do not know how to use it. Just when I saw the

Thanks so much. It seems I have to relearn the advanced Indesign.

Do we need both management Pack and ADP for monitoring SOA suite 11g

Hi,
Do we need to Both management pack and ADP (OCAMM) Application Dependancy and Performance for monitoring SOA Suite 11g.
I was creating a monitoring template for SOA Composite and SOA Infrastructure and wanted to know if I need to install additional ( management packs, ADP and Middleware Plugins ) packs to get an effective template.

A management pack generally refers to the set of pages in EM Grid/Cloud Control which provide functionality for a given set of target types. Since EM Grid Control 11g, the ADP functionality has been part of the Grid Control release and the pages licensed via the Management Pack Plus for SOA or the SOA Management Pack EE.
To populate the ADP pages with data, additional steps must be performed in order to deploy an ADP manager and ADP agents. Doing this is optional, depending on whether or not you require the additional capability that those pages provide.
ADP data, however, are collected and stored separately from the core GC/CC metrics and are not related to the monitoring template functionality.

Different service packs in admin server and managed server

Hi,
Has anybody successfully used a WebLogic 6.1 SP1 managed server that
connects to a WebLogic 6.1 SP 2 admin server?
BEA's docs claim:
"The Administration Server must be running the same version of
WebLogic Server as the Managed Servers in its domain. The
Administration Server must also have the same or later service pack
installed as the Managed Servers in its domain. For example, the
Administration Server could be running version 6.1, Service Pack 2
while the Managed Servers are running version 6.1, Service Pack 1."
This is precisely what we want to do, but it's not working. In this
case, we need to run the admin server and managed server on the same
machine, but we need the managed server to run SP 1 to work around a
bug in SP 2. So to our initial installation of WebLogic 6.1 SP 2,
where I run the admin server, I added a second installation, this time
WebLogic 6.1 SP 1, with a different BEA_HOME. When I start the
managed server from this second installation, I can see from the logs
that it is starting up correctly as 6.1 SP 1. But then it fails with
a ClassCastException when connecting to the admin server (I have
included the stack trace below). This seems typical of version
compatibility problems I've had when I've tried connecting to a server
with a client of a different version.
But in this case, you are supposed to be able to have the managed
server with a lower service pack. Does this work for anybody? Has
anybody encountered the problem I'm having? Note that the servers are
not clustered, if that makes any difference, and we have a custom
security realm in addition to the default file realm (though "system"
of course is in the default file realm).
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jim Doyle
