Remedy Search

Clay avatarWe all know and love Remedy. And the web interface makes things even more clumsy…

But I’ve finally discovered how to write the query which shows all of my unresolved cases:

  1. Go to http://remedy.freedom.com/arsys/home
  2. Log in
  3. Click ‘Search Cases’
  4. Click ‘Advanced Search’
  5. Type the following into the box on the bottom of the screen and click ‘Search’:

('Assignee' = "Clay Leeds") AND ('Status' < "Resolved")

Of course you’ll want to change “Clay Leeds” to your own name, unless you want to see what’s on my plate…

I recommend the command is formatted exactly like the above, or it won’t work:

  • single quotes around query attributes
  • double quotes around query values
  • ALL CAPS for ‘AND’ boolean

This is handy, so I can pare down my list of tickets.

Enjoy!

bash history & completion tips

This is an oldie… bind the up and down arrow keys to searching `bash` history:

UPDATE:

The post below shows the old method… Here’s an updated version:


# make bash autocomplete with up arrow
bind '"\e[A":history-search-backward'
bind '"\e[B":history-search-forward'

# make tab cycle through commands instead of listing
bind '"\t":menu-complete'

Type this into vi ~/.bash_profile, and in place of

<up>

type control + v, then up arrow. In place of

<down>

type control + v then down arrow. (Control V tells vi to put the next character in the doc, rather than just moving up when you press up arrow etc.)


bind '"<up>":history-search-backward'
bind '"<down>":history-search-forward'

Then close all Terminal windows, and quit the app, then open Terminal again and you should have the feature.

also…

PS, don’t forget to add these to your .inputrc while you’re at it:
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set completion-ignore-case on
