This documentation supports the 9.1 version of Remedy Action Request System.
This section describes the system-defined forms that are loaded during BMC Remedy AR System installation. Those forms that have web views are saved with the locale of en_US. If you need a web view of the form in another locale, open the web view of the form on a computer set to the locale you require, and save it. Some of these forms, called system forms, that are required for baseline BMC Remedy AR System functionality are maintained by the BMC Remedy AR System server. If a system form does not exist when the server starts, it restores the form from a file. System forms are marked in the table.
Required by applications to register their versions and other necessary information, and get the unique identification (GUID) on that server at the time of installation. This information is used by other applications for communication.
+ Used for queuing processes and requests. This form works with the Dispatcher thread, which routes requests to the appropriate queues. The Dispatcher wakes up the process that the Application Pending request indicates requires execution. For more information about the Dispatcher thread, see Remedy AR System server architecture and scalability.
Used to monitor and analyze the performance of your deployable applications and forms.
For deployable applications, logs entry, filter, and escalation statistics for all forms participating in the application statistics. Also logs application licensing statistics.
For forms, logs entry, filter, and escalation statistics.
+ Verifies or changes application and form statistics logging settings.
+ Defines the development state (such as Test or Production) for a deployable application. You can edit the entries in this form in the user client or create workflow that acts on this form to change the application's state. Changing the state changes the access permissions to the application (and to objects owned by the application) according to the role-group mappings defined for each state in the Roles form. See Working with deployable application states for more information about application states.
AR System Message Catalog + Enables administrators to provide localized versions of error messages, help text, menus, and other text strings displayed to users in applications that are customized by locale. The use of this form can be enabled or disabled. See Localizing BMC Remedy AR System applications for how to use this form.

AR System Server Group Operation Ranking + Stores the ranking of servers for operation ownership within a server group. This form is loaded only when the BMC Remedy AR System server is configured to be a member of a server group.
Used to run the Assignment Engine. For more information, see the Assigning requests with the Assignment Engine.
+ + Used by the integration between BMC Remedy AR System and the BMC Atrium Web Services Registry. For more information, see the Registering a web service.
+ Contains alerts that are sent to users. If a notify action of a filter or escalation sends an alert, the alert text and reference is stored in this form. For more information, see the Alert Events form.
Provides a web view with an alert list field already created. You can add this form to your web-based applications for viewing lists of alerts in a browser.
+ + + + + + + Used to define periods of availability and unavailability, workdays, and holidays to calculate business schedules. For more information, see Business Time introduction.
+ Holds the currency codes that are available on a server. Each code can be activated or inactivated by checking the Active field on the form. Activating a currency code makes it available to the clients.
+ Contains localized labels that override the currency codes in the menus associated with currency fields in browsers.
+ Queried by clients to retrieve overridden currency labels. There is no interaction with this join form.
+ Holds the ratios for converting one currency to another. This form can include ratios for both conversion directions (for example, from USD to Euro and from Euro to USD) because these conversion rates are sometimes different. This form can store current and historical conversion rates.
Used to set up a data visualization module to display graphical data in a field on a form. For more information, see Data visualization fields.
+ Defines and maintains parameter and data control values for a specific distributed mapping.
+ Maintains a queue of pending distributed transfers, updates, returns, and deletes.
+ Maintains a queue of failed pending distributed operations. Includes information about the error that caused the failure.
