Getting Started

Hi, I'm running a free cloud version to test it out and when I go to integration > email the smtp and pop3 account settings tests run successfully, but I'm unable to save any of the incoming and outgoing email settings... clicking ok or apply doesn't do anything. So secondly, rather than add a new entry to the list, I tried to modify the default, but I'm also unable to save any of the settings. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi, SysAid was removed a while back by a previous employee however we have a certification authority running on a server which I want to decommission and it is running as SERVERNAME-CA-SysAid I wondered whether this was a default installation configuration and is just left over from a previous engineers cleanup attempt? Its providing certificates to the devices in Trusted Root Certification Authority as well as Intermediate Certification Authority. wasnt sure where to put this question within the forums

Hi I have copied the SysAid SQL DB from the old server to the new & have run the installation & got to the point of "initializing the main users account", however it always fails I have tried to look at the conf files and tried resetting on the old server then copying the DB across again but to no avail What do you do if you have done these as has anyone else had these issues?

Hello, I was trying to download the version 20.2.15 https://www.sysaid.com/product/on-premise/latest-release?utm_source=SysAid-Product&utm_medium=after-login-message&utm_campaign=on-premise-upgrade-1020-advisory-alert after receiving a link when I opened the application today. What do I need to do to be able to download the updated version? Also in our case we have version 18.1.54.b3 that was first installed in November 2019. Based on the above link we would could only upgrade to version 20 if we have version 19. Since we have version 18, what do we need to do to be able to upgrade to version 20.2. Please note we are currently using the free version. Thanks, Roger

Hi there, I read that by default attachment are saved in a table inside the database. We would like to change this and save attachments in a folder outside the database. Is it possible to enable saving attachments, which are part of an SR, to a custom folder location? I did found a tweak to a configuration file which enables saving attachments outside of the database but to a certain folder of the Sysaid installation. Is it possible to change the location where the attachments are saved? Kind regards, Thimo Verveer

Is there a way to remove SysAid agent form all PC 's? Researching I found a thread saying self-destruct in 2017, but nothing further. I am trying to avoid going to all PC'c and uninstalling SysAid agent manually. Or does SYSaid after a period of time as mentioned in the self destruct actually uninstall itself?

Good day I'm trying to install Sysaid for windows with Mysql v8 I get sysaid exception while checking configuration: Could not create connection to database server when trying to connect to the database. Kindly assist Thanks Wikus

We have not upgraded SysAid in a while, and are still on v15.2 on a Linux machine. Based on information from support, I know that I have to upgrade to v16 as a first step. I have extracted the sp_linux_16_3.18.bin file to the server. When I run it and am asked to provide the server root directory, the entry that I provide is not accepted. Based on where my logs and my current activation.xml file are located, my server root should be at /sysaid/apache-tomcat-7/webapps/ROOT. However, I always get this response: sed: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:] The server root dir: Cannot find SysAid Server root directory Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi All, I have currently setup our SLA's for ticket closure and was hoping the community could help me configure some SLA's to manage ticket response times. We would like to set SLA's/Timers for tickets that are left in the "New" Status, these targets would then be met and ignored as soon as the Status is changed to any of our other available ones. The time frame will need to be different depending on which Priority is set to each ticket. How would be best to configure this? Many Thanks, Mathew R

Has anyone had any luck branding the SysAid Password Self Service Wizard? I'm looking to change the colors to match our website branding and change the logo to match John

Anyone successfully using LetsEncrypt to secure their SysAid instance with SSL? I believe I'm about 85% from getting this working. I've followed these instructions, but I have to actually get the certificate first. To process the CSR, LE requires to verify domain ownership. One method of doing that is to put some files into the root of the web server so the LE service can read them. I'm using Windows Server 2012R2 to run SysAid v20.2.14 b4 Edu Pro with Apache/Tomcat 9.0.35. Where exactly would the root of the Web server be in this case? IIS, ...\SysAidServer\tomcat, ...\SysAidServer\ROOT? TIA
