Yes, it works with both web and windows client applications. Here's the link to the info on the bmc site: http://www.bmc.com/products/proddocview/0,2832,19052_19429_125713036_167534,00.html The "Getting Started" guide on the Support Documentation site has a section called "General Workflow" that walks through the end user experience pretty well.

BMC's Desktop Capture allows customers to run essentially a recorder on their PC while recreating their problem. The advantage to the support people is they send the customer a link; the customer runs the link at their convenience; and the recording is automatically attached to the Incident Ticket. The support person and customer don't have to link up via phone or some kind of desktop sharing program. The recorder captures a lot of information, including performance and system information. So this is more than just doing a Webex recording. The end user has the comfort of running at their own time and without having an IT Technician accessing their desktop. The support person spends less time on the phone. And, if you have BMC's Application Problem Resolution product (formerly Identify), the data from the Desktop Capture can be fed in to that. If you go to bmcwebinars.webex.com <http://bmcwebinars.webex.com/> and search for "Desktop Capture", you'll see two upcoming webexes, one on March 3rd, one on March 18th, that you can register for Not sure where the Feb. 26th sign up is. Or of course you can always contact your account rep who will be happy to set up a web demo for you!

BMC will have a webinar on Feb 26. How would such a capture be of use to the Tier 1 or Tier 2 folks?

BMC is billing it as a Flight Recorder that will capture everything the user is doing in Remedy up until he or she encounters an error in the ITSM app he or she is using. Then the user forwards that capture to the Tier 2 folks who are saved "lots of time, etc." by the recording. It sounds like a loop recorder of, for instance, a minute or so of desktop activity that stops recording on an error. Actually, it sounds pretty interesting. -- Bob Rowe, Remedy Action Request System Development and Administration [email protected] "The golden rule is to test everything in the light of reason and experience, no matter from where it comes."
