Create new validation

I want to create a new validation for custom fields that would check the
format of a date. Where would I add this?

Hi RT Users,

I get a very strange error at the Links Section of a ticket (and also if i
use the links Tab)

This Ticket has a Refered by Link from RTFM and it was merged into another
ticket. I have tried to reproduce this error, but no luck… It only occurs
from time to time.

The error:

This is in RT 3.6.

Hi Torsten,

I ran into this last week (RT 3.4.5), and wasn’t able to find much on Google or the list archives about it. It does seem to come up when people are trying to do different things.

In our situation, it was the result of the following:

  1. Two tickets were created for the same issue (customer double-submitted it)
  2. A link was created between them (“Depends on/Depended on by”)
  3. The link was removed
  4. One was deleted, and subsequently purged from the database with RTx::Shredder

With the database in this state, trying to load the ticket that hadn’t been deleted resulted in the error you describe. My solution was to restore the deleted ticket using the dumpfile created by rtx-shredder’s --sqldump switch, and set its status to “rejected” so that it isn’t automatically purged by our nightly rtx-shredder job.

I’m not sure if we could’ve done anything else (removed the link transaction(s) from the database perhaps? I didn’t try this because I’d rather add unnecessary data than delete anything), or if this is a bug or an unavoidable consequence of using RTx::Shredder to purge our database of spam (there is plenty). The bottom line, for us, was that the two tickets should’ve been merged, as they were both from a legitimate customer. Deleting one was the incorrect solution.

Sincerely,
Frank Pater

Hi Frank,

We didn’t delete something, but we merged to tickets and one of them had a
referer to RTFM. It drives me crazy, that i can’t reproduce this and i’m
also stepping in the dark, because i can’t figure out the way the steps
where done, because the Extract Article from the Ticket to the RTFM
generates no History Entry…

Hopefully Jesse or someone else has an idea or solution.

Yep, fix is in 3.4-RELEASE branch and would be part of 3.4.6.

Best regards, Ruslan.

Torsten, I’ve uploaded Shredder-0.04 that has fix for this bug. Really

Best regards, Ruslan.

Hi Ruslan,

Cool, a new shredder release, but i don’t use the shredder at our productive
system, the only thing that happen was a ticket merge after or before they
have liked to the RTFM.

No shreddered ticket at all :wink:

Torsten

Heh. Anyway the error happens when a link point to an object that doesn’t exist.On 5/28/06, Torsten Brumm torsten.brumm@kuehne-nagel.com wrote:

Torsten, I’ve uploaded Shredder-0.04 that has fix for this

RT doesn’t show links to deleted tickets and do it very deep
in the core and shredder was biten by this. So in result you

I’m not sure if we could’ve done anything else (removed the
link transaction(s) from the database perhaps? I didn’t try
this because I’d rather add unnecessary data than delete
anything), or if this is a bug or an unavoidable consequence
of using RTx::Shredder to purge our database of spam (there
is plenty). The bottom line, for us, was that the two tickets
should’ve been merged, as they were both from a legitimate
customer. Deleting one was the incorrect solution.

Hi RT Users,

I get a very strange error at the Links Section of a ticket (and
also if i use the links Tab)

This Ticket has a Refered by Link from RTFM and it was
merged into
another ticket. I have tried to reproduce this error, but
no luck…
It only occurs from time to time.
