    from Chris Hackett (CA) to Everyone:

    Welcome if anyone has any questions please ask them now! Thanks

    from Chris Hackett (CA) to Everyone:

    Anyone have any questions for the team!

    from Sam Grace to Everyone:

    @ Chris:  Good Morning Chris.  My team and I are in the process of performing 3 installations:  CA EEM / CA Process Automation / CA Service Catalog.  As we have installed EEM and PA, we are now installing and configuring SC.  As a best practice, are there any recommendations (check list) of actions that can be taken or need to be taken next?

    from Alex Perretti (CA) to Everyone:

    @Sam are you referring to steps specific to the Service Catalog install, or the solution as a whole?

    from Sam Grace to Everyone:

    Really the solution as a whole

    from Alex Perretti (CA) to Everyone:

    @Sam there is some good information on the Docops website that provides details on planning.

    from Alex Perretti (CA) to Everyone:

    https://docops.ca.com/ca-service-management/14-1/en/implementing/implementing-ca-service-management-14-1

    from Alex Perretti (CA) to Everyone:

    @Sam it seems you are already going in a proper direction with what you've installed so far.

    from Sam Grace to Everyone:

    Ok, thank you Alex.  My team and I will review the link that you sent to us.

    from Avneesh Bhatnagar (CA) to Everyone:

    @Everyone, We are about to start the hands on customer validation for CA Service Management upcoming release code named 'Hampi' in next couple of weeks, stay tuned for community announcement for the same and please do register, if you haven't already, to participate in the program.

    from Chris Hackett (CA) to Everyone:

    Anyone else have a question for the team!

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    how is the mobile app working for everybody? we have several issues

    from Sam Grace to Everyone:

    @Avneesh:  We are just now installing SC 14.1.  Would the code upgrade "Hampi" be applicable for our team?

    from Sam Grace to Everyone:

    @Stephanie:  We are not utilizing the mobile app for our environment as of the time being.

    from Avneesh Bhatnagar (CA) to Everyone:

    @Sam the Hampi validation is primarily focused on the new L1 Analyst interface and not so much on the business user so the catalog part of the solution will not be impacted much

    from Avneesh Bhatnagar (CA) to Everyone:

    @Stephaine there is a mobile app refresh coming out soon watch out for that will contain some of the customer issues reported on the mobile app

    from Jason to Everyone:

    Hello, i've a question about LDAP integration with SDM. It's possible that in the integration SDM takes the supervisor of an user from ldap and fills that in the supervisor field of the contact in SDM?

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    where can i find more information about the mobile app refresh to see if it addresses our issues

    from Avneesh Bhatnagar (CA) to Everyone:

    @Stephaine there will be an announcement on communities to that affect soon

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    thanks.

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    do you have a date yet for the announcement?

    from Avneesh Bhatnagar (CA) to Everyone:

    @Stephanie not exact date yet, but you can expect that as soon as sometime next week

    from Jon Israel to Everyone:

    @Jason - I believe this can be done via the LDAP.mod file which maps the fields between LDAP and SDM.

    from Jon Israel to Everyone:

    @Jason - my mistake, it would be the ldap.maj file under bopcfg/majic directory

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    great thanks

    from Jason to Everyone:

    Ok, thanks Jon. I'll test that.

    from Chris Hackett (CA) to Everyone:

    Any other questions for the team today

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    does anyone have their mobile app opened to the outside world? and if so what is your configuration and what ports ahve to be opened

    from Rajeev Kumar (CA) to Everyone:

    @Stephanie - That's a great question. The product team would also be interested in understanding how different customers have implemented the mobile app access. Considering the low participation in the Office Hours today, you may want to put that question in the CA Service Management Community though.

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    are there any new updates coming out for USS

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    is anyone seeing the delayed server response error more since upgrading to 14.1

    from Rajeev Kumar (CA) to Everyone:

    @Staphanie - 14.1.02 had some enhancements for USS. Nothing planned around USS for the next release ('Hampi') where the focus is on Level-1 Analyst experience.

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    ok. we have cum2 installed.

    from Jason to Everyone:

    stephanie that happens to me

    from Chris Hackett (CA) to Everyone:

    Any last questions before we wrap up today!

    from Jason to Everyone:

    happened*

    from Paul (CA) to Everyone:

    @Stephanie - does the error occur during the same time each day?  Does it happen when performing certain functions within CA SDM?

    from stephanie to Everyone:

    this week it has happened when i am customizing scoreboard and not at the same time during the day

    from Rajeev Kumar (CA) to Everyone:

    @Stephanie - Please keep an eye and report back to CA Support if the server response error persists.

    from Paul (CA) to Everyone:

    @Stephanie - CA Support would need to take a look at your configuration in more detail.  There might be some performance configuration tuning that can be done.

    from Chris Hackett (CA) to Everyone:

    Thank you everyone for joining. Have agreat day! Please visit us in the communities.

    Thanks for sharing Chris!

     

    Skimming through I see Jason asked about updating the supervisor field on contacts with the manager attribute in AD.  This process needs a bit of extra work to setup as the data is stored as an ldap_dn value in AD.  An extra sql query will need to be run to convert the data to a contact_uuid.

     

    Perhaps someone can forward the following thread to Jason. I can't tell who the poster was based off the first name!

    Thanks Grant! Looking at the attendance list I think the Jason in question could be JasonLLM. Jason let us know if this is you and if so if the information Grant is providing helps you.

    Regards,

    Chris
