Linking Remedy and RT3

Hi.

Parts of our company use Remedy and our branch uses RT3 as issue-trackers.
Now I have to check if a linking between Remedy and one or mor
RT3-Queues ist possible.
Perhaps via Mail like a mail-link between 2 Queues on different RT3
Installations.

Has someone done this before or any hints?

With kind regards,
Holger Baust

Horst,

We do something like that. We have a production job scheduler that runs day
and night. When a job abends or ends in error, we have it send an email to a
specific Queue, but different Queues for different sets of job. Each job has
an email address where it can send emails. That way, a GL job that abends
goes to the GL Queue and an AP job that abends goes to the AP Queue.

Then, we set up a user in RT to be the “From” Email address of the job
scheduler and give it rights to access the system. We set up those Queues to
allow all privileged to “CreateTickets”, all other privileges are per
group/role. Viola’, we have have an email ticket for every job that abends
and RT sends notification tickets to the people responsible for tickets in
those Queues.

You might be able to do the same kind of thing with Remedy.

Hope this helps.

We link some of our RT tickets with trouble ticket systems at other
organizations by using a ticket-specific email addresses and adopting
the subject of any auto-response (for which you need ticket-specific
addresses because some ticketing systems completely replace the incoming
subject line). We also changed RT’s mail behavior to more closely match
that of a regular mail client (no more Reply-To:, no automatic resending
of all incoming replies). In general, this is sufficient to create
foreign tickets which are linked to RT tickets on our side.

Anything more elaborate (such as automatic mirroring of queue contents)
will be quite difficult, I fear.
