BUG in TEST DRIVE ias installation routine

After scuccesfully installation of the TEST DRIVE PII version the
installation leave the destination
directory blank.
The bug is knwon in this newsgroup.
My tip:
Go to http://iplanet.subscribnet.com/
download the real version (SP3 is brand new) and then you can use the
license key for the test case.
But you need a registered access.
This installation routine works fine without problems with IP adresse or
other else.
Good Look Bobys,

Hi,
This was a known issue with iAS installation on Windows-2000 and the solution was to set the "Primary DNS suffix". Please see my posting on how to "<a href="http://softwareforum.sun.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=181&RPAGEID=304&HOID=50B5000000080000006B630000&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_0=_24_%24_6_&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_S=0&UCATEGORY_0=_28_%24_6_24_&UCATEGORY_S=0">Set the Primary DNS suffix</a>".
Hope this will help, please feel free to ask further questions.
Sanjeev.

  • Why the LDAP server does not accept any connection upon the installation of iPlanet Application Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Test Drive Phase II

    "I am carrying my tests under W2000 with all the default installation options. I've checked the user ID (admin), password and port are correct. However, I was not able to start the Netscape Console and also, the kregedit exited with messages:

    (previously submitted to Portal Services/Wireless)

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if there are known issues with iAS test drive and Windows 2000 howevere I would like to help you in cracking the error.
    The GXBIND error appears only when the iAS is not able to communicate with the directory server. In our case, let us proceed by the following...
    1. Check if the directory server is running. Verify this by checking the services and look for an entry for directory server and it must look something like
    "Netscape Directory Server 4.1 (machine name)" and the status is started.
    2. Next, if you are not able to start the console of directory server, then you must check if the directory administrative server is running. This is also verified with the services and look for the entry...
    "Netscape Administration Server 4.2" and the status is started.
    3. Next, if both of the above are running, then you need to login to directory server console by using cn=Directory Server and issuing the password. If you are able to login successfully then, iAS will work, if not, then rectify the problem with directory server and I'm sure iAS will work.
    4. If you have forgotten the password for cn=Directory Manager, then there is a work around for fixing the password in directory server and iAS.
    Please let the outcome once you have done this.

  • Test Drive installation

    So by looking at the forums the test drive system seems to be installed by running the install.sh script on ISO image.
    Does not appear we need to run sapinst as normal install correct?
    The files are all there in /sapmnt and /usr/sap.
    When i run startsap scs00 or r3 get no profiles found when trying startdb get the wrong version binary.
    I totally saw that it required 64 bit hardware but tried it anyway on 32 bit.

    I totally saw that it required 64 bit hardware but tried it anyway on 32 bit.
    you can´t run 64bit binaries on a 32bit OS.

  • New Mac Mini + Office 2004 Test Drive

    Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but I'll give it a shot...
    I bought a new Mac Mini a few weeks ago. I just downloaded a Word document from my e-mail and it opened up Office 2004 Test Drive automatically... I agreed to the User Agreement, opened up my Word document, yada yada...
    Now, however, it bugs me that this is trial software and I have 30 days to evaluate it. Thing is I actually own Office 2004 and just never got around to installing it on my Mac Mini yet...
    So what is the proper way to install it? Do I need to remove Office Test Drive 2004 first, or do I just run the installer off the Office 2004 DVD? What are the proper steps I need to take?
    Thank you,
    Keith

    Remove MS Office Test Drive
    On your hard disk, open Microsoft Office 2004 folder that contains the Test Drive. Any documents you saved in the Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive should be moved somewhere in your documents folder.
    In the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, double-click "Remove Office". In the Results window, choose Microsoft Office 2004 (including Test Drive) and then click "continue" and follow the prompts.

  • How to create a new connection from SAPGUI to Test drive?

    Hi,
    I have installed Sap Netweaver Test drive on a linux virtual machine (windows host). The installation was successful and I was able to start the instance (application server and the database), yet I don't know how to create a new connection from my SAPGUI client (7.20) to this server. The static IP address of the server is 192.168.1.160.
    I entered the following values for my new connection entry
    Description: SAP Netweaver
    Application server: 192.168.1.160
    Instance number: 01
    System ID: DB2
    SAProuter: /H/192.168.1.160/S/3201/H/
    But it does not work. Any idea about the values needed  for creating a new entry?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Running "Flex test drive" - Got error while attempting to connect to data service

    Hi,
    I'm a Flex / Flash builder beginner. I downloaded the 60 days evaluation, and started to run the "Flex test drive" :
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/testdrive.html
    My configuration :
    XP SP3 PRO french edition
    Tomcat 6.0
    My local Eclipse :eclipse-jee-helios-SR2-win32 (but also got the issue on the Flash Builder Eclipse, which version is 3.4.0 (Generation ID M20090211-1700)
    Flash Builder 4 with Eclipse plug-in
    All on same PC
    The Test Drive proposes examples in three technologies : Cold Fusion, PHP and Java. I'm doing the Java examples.
    Installation of Flash Builder, as well as step 1 of the Test Drive (Build the user interface) went fine. I could run the project, which at the end of step 1 correctly displayed the UI in my browser.
    Only one problem, I don't know if it is relevant for the rest of this post : I first got an error, saying that ports 8080, 8005 and 8009, requested by Tomcat, where used. After a short Google search, I fixed it by changing these ports to 8081, 8006, and 8010, in the Tomcat 6.0\conf\server.xml file.
    The Test drive second step is "Connect to data". I found some discrepancies between the Test Drive doc, and what is displayed in Flash Builder. The Test Drive says :
    "Use the Data menu and the Service Wizard to create a service for your application server. For ColdFusion and Java, specify the service file you put on your application server earlier (see Figure 9 for a PHP example). For Java, select the No password required check box, select the employeeService destination, and change the service package to services.employeeservice."
    --> But there is no "No password required check box".
    Also, when running the "Connect to data/service..." wizard, it was not at first completely clear what to choose. The proposed choices were :
    BlazeDS
    ColdFusion
    HTTP
    LCDS
    PHP
    Web Service
    XML
    Since all others choices, when tried, declared to be unconsistent with my project's server type, I finally selected "Web Service".
    In the next wizard's form, according to the Test Drive indications, I specified the URI of my EmployeeService class : C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\testdrive\WEB-INF\classes\services\EmployeeService.class
    That defined correctly the other fields.
    But when pressing the "Next >" button, Flash Builder issued the following error message :
    English translation : Unable to extract operations and entities from specified WSDL. Reason : an error occured while instrospecting the service.
    And the full error text is :
    An error occured while instrospecting the service. WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing 'file:/C:/Program%20Files/Apache%20Software%20Foundation/Tomcat%206.0/webapps/testdrive/W EB-INF/classes/services/EmployeeService.class'.: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.
    It is usually relatively easy to find fixes through Google searches, but this time, it didn't work. So here I am, expecting a bunch of wise answers from all the nice Flex / FB gurus that I'm sure haunt this forum .
    Thanks and best regards.
    Marc.

    For those who would have the same problem, here is how I could eventually fix it.
    Since the Flex Test Drive is sometimes out of sync with flash builder 4, I recreated a project using other help pages on Adobe site :
    Entry point :
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08- 7ffd.html
    As suggested, I used the New Project wizard to create a new project, with :
    Application server type : J2EE
    Check the radio button "Use remote object access service : BlazeDS"
    Then, as indicated in following pages (section "Accessing BlazeDS")... :
    file:///C:/Mes%20documents%20C/Commun/Developpement/Documentation/HT-Tracks/AccessingData/ help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-668f02f4120d422cf08-7ffe.ht ml#WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-19a3f0e0122be55e1b7-8000
    ...I selected the "Data / Connect to Data/Services..." menu option, which started the Data/service connection wizard.
    There, I selected a BlazeDS (and not Web Services) service type, and everything went fine.
    Suggestion to adobe staff : maybe it would be useful to update the Flex Test Drive to reflect Flash Builder 4 ?
    Very nice product anyway, so far, congratulations...
    Rgds

  • Office Test Drive: relaunching the initial Entourage setup?

    I have been playing about with the Office Test Drive--does anyone know how to run the initial setup that Entourage performs on its first launch, again? I was testing the import of an old database; now that I see it works well I want to trash that database and rerun the initial setup again, but there is no option to do so that I can find.
    1. "Import" does not work as it won't allow me to select from the Office Identities or Main Identity or Database folder/files. (I want to do this from a backup of the database and not from a program itself. This worked on the initial setup but does not seem to want to work in the "Import" command.)
    2. I cannot seem to trash the old identity; when I drag it to the trash it goes into the trash but the trash will not allow me to empty it as it says the Database is in use.
    3. Holding down the option key upon launching Entourage worked once--it went to launch Database Utility but quit unexpectedly, and when I launched Entourage it was wiped clean and gave me the "new import" option, but I wasn't prepared to install the new database at that moment and now launching Entourage again does not give me that option. Also, when I have tried that trick again--holding down the option key during the lauch of Entourage--Database Utility launches correctly now! It does not "wipe clean" the program this time.
    Should I delete the Office Test Drive and reinstall a new copy? I found it on Mactopia; I'm just worried that the computer will detect that I'm reinstalling Test Drive and refuse to allow it. (I still have 30 days left of the Test Drive as it stands now.)
    Any other suggestions?

    It doesn't make sense to me that you would have a
    problem like this. I have bought 2 iMacs this year.
    One of them was about 7 weeks old when I got it and
    my installation of the test drive worked just fine.
    Bought a 3 month old e Mac last year and used the
    test drive for 30 days while awaiting delivery of my
    full version of Office.
    It has nothing to do with the date the software was
    installed but from the date it was first opened.
    Wierd problem. Did you buy this Mac new?
    yes brand new, from the apple store online at apple.com,, I talked to some guy on the apple help chat thing and he said my machine was manufactured on 10/22/05 I ordered it 11/28/05. Anyway I did trash it lastnight and am going to try and reinstall it it. The tech suggested it then he said he didnt think it would work lol. I also downloaded the program suggested and it works well also.. so either way Im covered now.

  • Microsoft office test drive - Expired??

    Hi there. I bought an emac about 2 months ago, and it had 'microsoft office 2004 for mac test drive' which is supposed to be a 30 day free test drive. But as soon as i tried to open it it said it had expired!
    I rang up the store and the lady said to drag it to the trash, then re-install it by using my grey 'Mac OS X install Disc'
    But when i use the disk and go to 'Optional Installs' i get to the 'custom install' page and there is no 'microsoft office test drive' to tick. under applications it only has iLife, iTunes and about 6 others.
    Anyone out there who could help me?

  • Is it possible to use Oracle instead of DB2 with Netweaver Test-drive 2004?

    Dear all,
    Recently I ordered on SAP Knowledge shop the Netweaver Test-Drive 2004 DVD (the 32-bit version for Linux (Red Hat Enterprise)).
    Before the installation I had already installed Oracle Enterprise 11g (Release 2). However the DVD installed both AS and DB2.
    What I would like to ask is that is it possible to use my already installed Oracle database with Netweaver and
    remove DB2 from hard disk?
    Kind Regards,

  • Installed MS Office for Mac, after uninstalling test drive, still reg to TD

    I installed MS Office for Mac 2004 this morning, after being very careful to uninstall the test drive version, after reading about problems it causes not to do so. I followed the instructions to uninstall, emptied the trash after, did the installation, updates, etc. But when I look at the "about" section of word, etc, it shows that the product is licensed to "Office 2004 Test Drive User". I did fill in the info on name, address, etc, and the "test version" watermarks that I was seeing on excel spreadsheets pre-installation are gone now. I have rebooted the machine. Do I need to register each application separately? Did I miss something in the uninstall?
    Also, after installing the new Office, I had problems accessing the internet from accounts other than the one from which I'd done the installation. I asked about that in the internet related subforum here, thought I had it fixed, but it's been inconsistent, seems to work on-and-off in the different accounts. Did the accessing of the net during the course of the install knock something out of place?

    I installed office after deleting test drive. Registration is fine. Microsoft creates a user pref folder for each user account. This will be activated with your individual pref. the first time you open one of the office programs. It will be different/reset for each user on the computer. So it is possible that different users would experience different problems connecting to the internet. I copied my users pref and library folder over from my powerbook to the imac and all of my settings seem to work just fine on the new imac.
    My suggestion would be to uninstall all versions of office on your imac and then reinstall office 2004. Be sure to do this in an administrator account and to repair permissions before and after install.
    Good luck!

  • Can't get some LCDS ES Test Drive samples to work in Tomcat

    I can't get many of the Sample Test Drive examples included
    with Livecycle Data Services ES 2.5.1 to work properly with Tomcat
    (both version 5.5.25 and 6.0.14). I've tried both on Windows XP SP2
    and Mac OSX (10.4), but I get the same errors on both platforms. I
    can however get the Sample Test Drive from LCDS to work fine with
    the JRun server on Windows (included with the Windows version of
    LCDS). I've setup the JRun server in a similar fashion as Tomcat
    (see my steps below) and everything works fine. I haven't been as
    successful with Tomcat. Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong
    with my Tomcat setup?
    I am using Java 1.5.0.
    Here are the error messages I get when trying out the LCDS
    Test Drive examples on Tomcat:

    Samples 2, 6 and 7 work fine.
    Here are the steps I took to setup Tomcat. I've tried this on
    both MacOSX and WinXP:
    1. Download and extract Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org (I've
    tried both version 5.5.25 and 6.0.14)
    2. Install Livecycle Data Services ES 2.5.1 and copy
    flex.war, flex-admin.war and samples.war to [tomcat-root]/webapps/
    3. Prepare tomcat for Livecycle Data Services by following
    the instructions here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/lcds_installation.html
    3a. Add Java Open Transaction Manager (JOTM) from
    http://jotm.objectweb.org/.
    Copy the JAR files from [jotm-root]/lib to
    [tomcat-root]/common/lib/.
    3b. Create a context file for your web application and
    register JOTM using the Transaction element, e.g. for the samples
    WAR create a [tomcat-root]/conf/Catalina/localhost/samples.xml file
    and add the following lines:
    <Context docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/samples"
    privileged="true"
    antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false">
    <Transaction
    factory="org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory"
    jotm.timeout="60"/>
    </Context>
    3c. Increase the maximum memory to at least 512MB. For
    Tomcat, this is achieved by specifying the maximum heap size for
    the JVM in the JAVA_OPTS variable in [tomcat-root]/bin/catalina.sh:
    -Xmx512m
    4. Run the tomcat server ([tomcat-root]/bin/startup.sh for
    Mac OS or [tomcat-root]\bin\startup.bat for WinXP) which extracts
    the 3 .war files into their respective directories in
    [tomcat-root]/webapps/
    5. Goto the Samples Test Drive in your web browser at
    http://localhost:8080/samples/testdrive/

    Thanks Leif,
    Yes, set it to the location jndi path.
    A piece of info is that the 903 oc4j release notes states that global conn pooling doesn't
    work. Infering that the j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml data sources aren't pooled or ??
    I just tested so called local connection pooling, where I edited the data-sources.xml that
    gets packaged in the ear, to include the min/max params and re-ran my test.
    Still, the AM creates a new conn, it's to a new socket, and closes the conn when done. Causing
    each conn to not be pooled, rather opened then closed to the DB box. As verified with lsof and
    netstat, checking the ephemeral port # on the DB box side, always changes, meaning it's a
    new socket and not an old pooled conn socket.
    ???? What the heck??
    Surely if the AM conn check out / return code works properly, OC4J's pooling JDBC driver would
    pool and not close the socket??
    Has anywone gotten JDBC Datasource connections in BC4J to actually be pooled under OC4J??
    Since I couldn't get this to work in my early 902 oc4j testing, and now can't get it to work
    still under 903 OC4J, either it's my config or BC4J AM's code or OC4J?
    Any thoughts on how to figure out what's not configed correctly or has a bug?
    Thanks, curt

  • Uninstalling MS Office test Drive

    I am trying to uninstall MS Offic Test Drive as I am using NeoOffice now. Every time I try and open a document it tries to use MS Word - which is annoying....
    Anyway...
    I tried to use the "Remove Office" utility and it looked like it was working - it saw the test drive, started removing files and then stopped b/c I was in a non-admin account. I logged into my admin account and tried the same thing and now the Remove Office is not finding any installs of the software - but I can see then - click on them and it starts opening the trial.
    Weird...
    So, is there another way to get rid of this?
    Thanks,
    Rebecca

    Try this app to clean up unwanted programs it finds the files that can be removed http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32740 but always check they dont have an uninstaller program first, MSOffice does but doesnt seem to remove the associated files. Mitch

  • Remove office test drive

    How do i remove the office 2004 test drive from my computer? I tried using the remove office app included in the folder but it says it has no office files on the computer? How can i remove this folder and its apps? just move to trash? and it will delete all the files associated with office, like preference files and stuff?

    if you have never used the test drive then simply drag the entire folder to the Trash and empty. if you have used the test drive then you must first use the uninstaller. For more help on uninstalling see:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
