Where do I find, "What's New" in ARS 9.1?
TIA
Hello Brian,
Click Release notes and notices on this page to expand the tab. The details in this tab summarizes the enhancements added in this release.
You can also find the enhancements listed on 9.1.00 enhancements topics.

Thank you, Prachi.
Just curious...why does the pdf file header read "...BladeLogic Confidential." in the upper right hand corner for the BMC Remedy Action Request System 9.1m document?
Hello Nilaja,
The PDF is restricted only to registered customers. Hence the copyright statement.
Thanks,
Prachi
That response didn't really address the concern. Allow me to readjust the question: Why does a Remedy Action Request System document have BladeLogic in the header. I nor any of my comrades were really concerned about the coyright statement. Clearly, that's a BMC issue.
It just seemed odd that the documentation reflects an entirely different product line. We found this phenomenon in other Remedy pdf documents as well. We thought, perhaps it was a copy & paste mistake or maybe even hint of a potential merge of the product lines in the future.
Do you happen to know or should we direct the question elsewhere?
Hello Nilaja,
Apologize for a late reply to this comment.
The BladeLogic statement in the documentation is a legal requirement. The legal department has given this directive. The BladeLogic statement appears on the documentation of all the products of BMC Software.

Vaijayanti
Where do I find developer guides for Remedy 9.1?
For example, in 7.6 I used the following document: BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.6.04 Workflow Objects Guide.pdf
Where is this located for version 9.1?
Thank you,
Bruce Wilson
Hello Bruce,
Starting from BMC Remedy AR System version 8.0, we provide online documentation. We no longer provide product guides.
The content related to Workflow is documented under the Developing an application section. Here is the link to the topic - Defining workflow to automate processes.
To find the desired content, you can also perform a search using the search box on the upper right corner of the page.
The PDFs and videos topic also provides ready-made PDF that contains all the topics in this space.

You are correct. The REST API was introduced in BMC Remedy AR System version 9.0.

HI team,
In the COMPATIBILITY website, IE9 is supported for ARS V9.1 above, but IE10 is not, IE11 is Support.
In the PDF of AR server V9.1 compatibility matrix, IE11 is the minimum browser version.
One of them should be wrong, I suspect the message in web site is wrong,That make no sense IE10 is not supported but IE9 is spported.
Could you please check it?

Hi - where can i get information with details on restart sequence for a server group environment ?
Thanks
Hello Mpumelelo,
You can start any service that is independent in any order. The only constraint is to start the dependent services first. You can refer to the following sequence for starting the services. Follow the reverse order to stop the services:
Starting services:
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Anagha
Hi Mpumi
Anagha sent the sequence on one particular server. So, in addition to this, in a server group, I've learnt that the above sequence must be carried out as follows: - When stopping your services, it must be done on the Admin/Primary Server last. - When starting your services, it must be done on the Admin/Primary Server first ... and these services must be running before you start up the services on any subsequent servers.
Hope this helps. Kind Regards Mel
