Is all the content for BMC Remedy ITSM in this space?

The documentation for BMC Remedy ITSM Suite is split between multiple spaces, so a space-level search performed in the box in the left navigation pane does not search all the documentation for this release. The following spaces also document this release:

I’d like a PDF of just selected information. How can I do that?

The BMC Online Technical Documentation portal gives you the ability to generate PDF and Microsoft Word documents of single pages, and to create PDF exports of multiple pages in a space.

Creating PDF and Word exports

You can create a PDF of a page or a set of pages. (Non-English page exports are not supported.) You can also create a Word document of the current page.

To export to PDF or Word

From the Tools menu in the upper-right, select a format:
- Export to Word to export the current page to Word format
- Export to PDF to export the current page or a set of pages to PDF
If exporting to PDF, select what you want to export:
- Only this page to export the current page
- This page and its children to export a set of pages
For example, selecting This page and its children from the home page exports the entire space to PDF.

XML and HTML exports

If you require an export in XML or HTML format, contact us.

Depending on the number of topics included in the export, it might take several minutes to create the PDF. Once the export is complete, you can download the PDF.

it states ' Is all the content for BMC Remedy ITSM 8.1 in this space?' - this should be 9.1

after logging in and when I hover over 'Share' the wording reads 'Share this content with other users (s)' which should really read "Share this content with other users (Type 's')" to be consistent with the other icons. same with every page on BMC docs.

under release notes and notices there is a note that states "For example, if you are upgrading from version 7.6.04, review the release notes for versions 8.0, 8.1, and 9.0." - this needs to be updated to incorporate 9.1, also there is no link on the 9.0 like there is with 8.0, 8.1

I would like to see an 'uninstalling' section here where it is explained how to uninstall various ITSM 9.1 components, there are uninstaller folders and executables in installation directories (such as UninstallAtriumCore, UninstallITSMSuite) which can be run it appears but these aren't explained in any bmc docs that I can see. (searches for 'uninstall', 'uninstalling' return nothing) even if it just a short FAQ section that says contact bmc for assistance uninstalling and what to do/not to do, order of uninstall, showing examples, dependencies of uninstalling, etc explaining best ways to approach this I believe would be beneficial to bmc docs.

  it would be nice if the time was taken on documentation as it initially was by explaining everything, fields on forms and purposes, as well as screen shots. that was much more helpful than today where you click a link then click a link for more information only to click another link and so on and so on ...

  Hello Colin,
  Thank you for your feedback.
  Installation and uninstallation information in provided in the BMC Remedy ITSM Deployment 9.1 online documentation. The Uninstalling application components section in that documentation provides the procedures for uninstalling BMC Remedy ITSM application components.
  I also added a relevant link and labels in the Installing topic in this documentation, to help direct users to the correct uninstallation topic.
  Additionally, I have forwarded your suggestions to provide additional information around the order of uninstallation and dependencies to the writers who handle the deployment documentation. They will work on adding the required information as appropriate.

  Bhakti

Question on scenario- upgrading from 7.5 to 9.1-- TRB tickets from 7.5 are accessible in 9.1- if changes are made to the tickets in the 9.1 environment (IE they are hard closed) and then we revert back to 7.5 will those changes carry over? Or will the tickets be as they were in 7.5 before the attempted upgrade?

  Hi Ashley,
  
  I will check with the SMEs and get back to you on this.

  Hi Ashley Teague,
  After upgrading to 9.1 from an older version and making changes to the older tickets (tickets created in your 7.5 environment), if you revert to 7.5, the changes made to the tickets in the 9.1 environment are carried over to the 7.5 environment. However, there might be data access issues. In 9.1, ticket data access is tied to support group. In the older versions, ticket data access is based on the company permissions.

  Sirisha

Hello. I am submitting a suggestion (request.) Please route it to the appropriate office. On our BMC Account login page, there is an option to "Remember Me." However there is no option to "Keep Me Logged In." Request that this option be added. As it is now, during each and every session that we want to make a comment or ask a question we have to log in. But, 99% of the people who use ITSM should be people who use a dedicated computer, not a shared computer. There's just no way that this isn't the case. It is entirely logical and reasonable to provide this option. I see it as being illogical not to provide the option. Request this option. Please forward. Thank you very much, Jerome Walker (Jerry)
