Smart IT troubleshooting

This topic contains troubleshooting tips for issues you might encounter in Smart IT.

Troubleshooting information for provider action

Filter log: You should check the filter log to ensure that the back-end filter is executed. In server group environment, Filter Log should be enabled on all AR System server (AR System Management Console > AR System Server Group Console > Logs > Logs Management).

Console log: You can check the Console log to see the fields that have changed while executing the provider action. When any expression is executed, the smartit/app/?debug-1 parameter in the URL displays the result in the Console. You can view the browser console log from the Developer Tools by pressing the F12 function key.

For more information on AR server logs, see Analyzing logs.  

Smartit log: You can check the smartit log for any other error, like provider error. 

BMC Helix ITSM filter: You can also check the filter that you have created while performing the steps documented in the Configuring-provider-actions-in-Smart-IT.

iCloud configuration is not enabled for Smart IT provisioning profile

Open your Smart IT provisioning profile in a text editor. Search com.apple.developer.icloud-container-identifiers key. It should have identifier that you have created under the iCloud containers on Apple development portal. If it is not there, then see the To create an iCloud container section in the Preparing-to-re-sign-and-rebrand-Smart-IT-on-Apple-iOS. 

Bundle identifier is wrong

You need to check the bundle identifier mentioned in the configuration tab of the re-signing project. Also, check the bundle identifier in the entitlement files.

Check your Membership information section in the Apple developer portal. It should have your program type information. The Program Type should be Apple Developer Enterprise Program.

BMC Digital Workplace service request is not found in Smart IT

While searching BMC Digital Workplace Catalog service request in Smart IT, if you cannot find it in Smart IT, search the service request in the SBE:Request vendor form. If the service request is not available in the vendor form, that means that service request does not exist. Search by service request ID or by name. In the vendor form, % search does not work.

In case of test connection failure in the SBE:ConnectionConfig form of BMC Helix ITSM, check the following log file to find out the failure reason:

Added custom fields to Asset View are not visible in Smart IT

• If a field is a part of the AST:Attributes form and if it exists in the AST:BaseElement form as well as in any other asset class (like AST:Printer), it becomes available for customization only for the Generic Area in Smart IT and not for the Type-Specific Area.

• If you have created a required field in the AST:Attributes form, you need to ensure that it is either present in all the asset classes or there is a mechanism set up for the default value.

Failure in adding a new style in the Knowledge Template Style

While adding a new style, in the Additional CSS Styling, the limit is set as 255 on the database table column. If it crosses this limit, you get the following error:

Error while displaying the primary contact for an asset

After creating an asset and associating it to a user with any role relationship in Smart IT, if the login ID of this person is removed by using the Change to Non Support or Remove Login ID option in the CTM:People form in Mid Tier, the primary contact field shows the following error on refreshing the asset in Smart IT:

Workaround: In Mid Tier, open the CTM:People form, and search for the person whose login ID was removed. Delete the asset relationship from the people profile and add it again.

Error in the incident view widget configuration

If you remove the Affected Service widget, add the Service member field, and save the view, after opening an Incident, if you type a search text on the Service field, it does not return any response.

Workaround:

1. Create a new regular character field (for example, NewDataSetID) on HPD:Help Desk form.
2. Use this field in the Menu qualification in place of the current display-only field.
3. Bring the above field in the Incident View in Smart IT, and set properties hidden=true & set value =‘BMC.ASSET’.

In BMC Helix ITSM, as you have changed the menu qualification to use the new character field, the value needs to be populated by using the active link/filter.
