Mysql syntax errors

Good morning.

I have been getting emails from new tickets using the SQL statement published on the kace support site. It 'seems' to work but I click 'View Ticket Search Results' I receive an error which I am not sure I understand enough to resolve on my own. 

Here is the error and if anyone has some suggestions, I am very interested... 

mysql error: [1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '= /* complete history*/ JOIN HD_TICKET_CHANGE H ON H.HD_TICKET_I' at line 41]

The SQL statement is below

Thanks in advance,

 HD_TICKET.ID AS TICKNUM, -- $ticknum

  • I found that there is a warning on KB https://support.software.dell.com/kb/SOL111222
    which states that if you run the 'View Ticket Search Results', you will throw that error - jbowes 8 years ago
  • I copied the SQL statement for the version 6.0 or newer and it doesn't email a ticket at all - jbowes 8 years ago

I don't know how fussy the SQL parser is in your situation but I can't help noticing that all the comments (I presume they're comments...) have a space before the closing "*/" except for the one you mention.

This rule uses the <CHANGE_ID> variable that is only available when a rule runs. KACE substitutes the ID of the change at runtime allowing the rule to access the most recent change on the ticket. In your rule it is used on this line:
JOIN HD_TICKET_CHANGE C ON C.HD_TICKET_ID = HD_TICKET.ID
AND C.ID=<CHANGE_ID>
The <CHANGE_ID> doesn't appear in your post above (I'm hoping it appears here) because it looks like an HTML tag. Double check that it is there in the KACE rule, though.

This variable is the reason that you can't use the View Ticket Search Results link to test the rule because it only gets populated when a ticket is saved.
