Cluster and Windows Service

I have three machines running weblogic 6.0 in a cluster. One of the machine is an administration server. I wish to set Weblogic as a Windows service on each machine. The problem is managed servers can't start up until the administration server is fully started. Does this mean I have to start the administration server first and wait until it is fully started before I start the managed servers?

Hi,
I am not quiet understanding your question, could you clarify your question, as far as I know, an answer file is an XML-based file that contains setting definitions and values
to use during Windows Setup. In an answer file, you specify various setup options, including how to partition disks, the location of the Windows image to install, and the product key to apply. You can also specify values that apply to the Windows installation,
such as names of user accounts, display settings, and Internet Explorer favorites. The answer file for Setup is typically called Unattend.xml.

Diff b/w Web service and window service

What is the difference between web service and window service, whether the both are same or not, Give some explain about that each one and give some examples also.

An XML Web service is a component that implements program
logic and provides functionality for diseparate
applications. These applications use standard protocols,
such as HTTP, XML, and SOAP, to access the functionality.
XML Web services use XML-based messaging to send and
receive data, which enables heterogeneous applications to
interoperate with each other. You can use XML Web services
to integrate applications that are written in different
programming languages and deployed on different platforms.
In addition, you can deploy XML Web services within an
intranet as well as on the Internet. While the Internet
brings users closer to organizations, XML Web services
allow organizations to integrate their applications.
A Windows service starts much before any user logs in to
the system (if it has been setup to start at boot up
process). A Windows service can also be setup in such a way
that it requires a user to start it manually ? the ultimate
customization!
Windows services run as background processes. These
applications do not have a user interface, which makes them
ideal for tasks that do not require any user interaction.
You can install a Windows service on any server or computer
that is running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows NT.
You can also specify a Windows service to run in the
security context of a specific user account that is
different from the logged on user account or the default
computer account. For example, you can create a Windows
service to monitor performance counter data and react to
threshold values in a database.

Problems with ShutdownHook and Windows Service

Hi friends,
I am facing a problem with the ShutdownHook when a Java program is run as a Windows Service. In the program I am having a Daemon Thread which will be run in an infinite while loop accoridng to a boolean variable. I have a shutdown hook also which sets the boolean variable so that the Daemon Thread will be stopped gracefully. When i am using Ctrl-C the shutdown Hook is started and the Thread is stopped gracefully.
Later i have made my program as a Windows Service using a utility Java Service Wrapper. But when i stop the service though the Services Window the ShutdownHook is not getting called. I was not able to fnd out why it is happening like that.
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Drmetz
If you are waiting on a reply it could be some time, as this is the *Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier* forum and few here know about Windows, parallels MacBooks or the Tiger OS.
Mac's cover a wide field.
You could try reposting in this forum which would be your best best I think.

Cluster and Content services

Hi,
    In our environment, we have two nodes in a cluster with Content services runnin on both the cluster nodes.
     One of the process, which is configured to have watched folder end point. This process reads the document from watched folder and stores the same
     in specified content space structure. When it is stored in content space we store the node id of the same for future reference.
     Now we have run into a situation where content from watched folder is read by Cluster Node A and stored it in Content Space under content services
running on Cluster Node A. Now say after 5 mins we need to retrieve the same content but this time the process to read the content from content space runs on Node B.
Content is read using retrieveContent service by passing node id which we have stored earlier but some reason it is not able to find the content.
Does Livecycle automatically synchronises the cluster nodes for content and how often does it happen?
Any suggestion on how to get around this issue.
Regards,
Vik

For content services in cluster, content is stored at a shared location which can be accessed by each node. Only indexes for this content is synchronized across cluster nodes. Please make sure that content storage root directory is a shared and accessible location for all nodes in the cluster.
Could you please perform a quick test?
1. Go to http://node1:port/contentspace and add a content here.
2. Now go to http://node2:port/contentspace and verify that you can see the content added.
Thanks,
Pankaj Parashar

Cluster and ASM services doesnt start automatically

Hi,
I have configured a 2 node 10g RAC environment (rac, rac2) in RHEL 4 through vmware.
However the cluster services and ASM services do not come up automatically after server reboot. I have to manually bring it up using ./srvctl command.
[root@rac2 bin]# ./crs_stat -t
Name          Type     Target     State     Host
ora....SM1.asm     application     ONLINE     UNKNOWN     rac

ora.rac2.vip     application     ONLINE     ONLINE     rac2
Could someone please guide me as to how these services can be brought up automatically upon every reboot?

Normally all services will start automatically, I am not sure how you installed and configured your RAC.
Here i am giving all options.
Option1:-
Re: CRS auto-start
Option2:-
See the below links.
http://jaffardba.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-startup-rac-database-services.html
http://www.dannorris.com/2009/03/12/start-database-services-automatically-after-instance-startup/
Option3:-
if you simply want to start the service upon server reboot, put srvctl
command in rc.local script under /etc directory.
Hope this solves your issue.

Question about oradim and windows services

Hello.
I have a db instance on my W-XP Pro machine that was created with this command:
oradim -new -sid <my_sid> -startmode m -pfile <my_pfile>
Since the creation I only used to need to start the windows service in order to work with the db.
I decided to delete the instance.
oradim -delete -sid <my_sid>
Afterwards I recreated the instance:
oradim -new -sid <my_sid> -startmode m -pfile <my_pfile>
And now I have this strange situation:
First I need to start the windows service (although it does not startup the db) and then starting the db with sqlplus.
Would it be possible restoring to the initial situation?
Thanks in advance.

Did you tried changing the database startup as Auto
oradim -edit -sid <my_sid> -startmode auto -SRVCSTART
systemThanks.
Although the above solution is working ok, I am also trying your solution but it seems there must be a syntax error:
D:\>oradim -edit -sid <my_sid> -startmode auto -SRVCSTART system
DIM-00036: Ha introducido una opci¾n no vßlida para el comando -DELETE
D:\>oradim -edit -sid <my_sid> -startmode a -SRVCSTART system
DIM-00003: Falta un argumento para el parßmetro
(I am sorry but I do not understand all the oradim options).

Clean access rules and Windows service pack 3

I am having a small issue with our Clean Access Manager blocking any Windows XP computer that has service pack 3 installed. The main failure it is giving in the reports is this
Failed Checks:
pc_Windows-XP-SP2, Registry Check [\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CSDVersion contains Service Pack 2]
pc_Windows-XP-SP1, Registry Check [\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CSDVersion contains Service Pack 1]
The key that is there when sp3 is installed is this:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CSDVersion contains Service Pack 3
I have verified that pc_Windows-XP-SP1 and pc_Windows-XP-SP2 are there as well as created a check for service pack 3 eric_pc_Windows-XP-SP3 and added the check to the rules governing windows updates for XP pro/home and windows media edition. But for some reason they are not taking effect. The CAM is running version 4.1.3.1 and the the CAA is version 4.1.3.2. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Eric

It looks like there is a problem with the ODBC driver of Olite. I tried to see the configuration parameters in the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator but when I click on the Configure button, the window closes and nothing appears. When I use another program (Aqua Data Studio) to query the Olite DB, everything works fine as long as I use basic queries without a "where" clause. When I use a "where" clause, windows opens a message box complaining about memory access error from the "olsv2040.exe", which is the Olite windows service, and it stops the service.
There is also this error message when I launch the SOA Suite and it comes to the part of loading the BPEL processes:

A file transaction.log is missing. It's strange because when I installed the SOA Suite, it never complained about the installation of the files. How can I re-install this file or generate it without installing the whole SOA Suite?
I am sorry if my message is too long, but all these problems are related to the Olite DB. Is there a way to re-install the ODBC drivers and the service without re-installing the whole SOA Suite?
Any would be greatly appreciated.
Amir

Ok, after having installed the Oracle XE database and configured the data-sources of the BPEL PM. I still had the same error message complaining about invalid column number. I changed the code and put directly the connection pool:
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)_initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/BPELServerDataSource");
Connection con = dataSource.getConnection();
Statement stmt1 = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet rs1 = stmt1.executeQuery("SELECT cikey, process_id FROM admin_list_cx WHERE index_1='"+deployedId+"'");
And now it works! The row is found and no error. I am wondering, is there a problem with my code (it worked with the former BPEL PM API 10.1.2) or is there a problem with the function listInstancesByIndex of the Locator object or something else (look at the Exception trace). Did somebody successfuly used this method of locating processe's instance using the index_1 parameter with the 10.1.3 API?
Cheers.

WCF and Windows service

Hello. Please, can somebody advise me? I create WCF library that realizes endpoint net-pipe for job with external WCF.I placed lib in Windows Service. But I dont know how to make data exchange from library without usage of WCF client-server mechanism.
How can I put or get data from running WCF service? for example I want to register WCF errors in Eventlog or give parameters to service for transfer them for clients connected to WCF. Thanks a lot

Thanks.
In my project i need to create Silverlight or WPF client for industrial monitoring in my plant in the real time. For this I would like to use duplex channel in wcf service on the my OPC client
I have two objects in my Windows Service project. One object is OPC client and database client. If i create this object in code - everything works good. Another object is WCF service library with net.pipe binding for external connection to this service.
Ok. I define in my code:
// window service class
public partial class SyncSiemensService : ServiceBase
        private OpcServiceClass opcServer = new OpcServiceClass();
        public SyncSiemensService()
            InitializeComponent();
        protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
                  // OPC client- database client object
                  opcServer.Start();
                 // WCF interface for external communication
                 // with this windows service
                  using (ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(DuplexPipeWcfService)))
                                 host.Open();
                                 eventLog.WriteEntry("<Bla-Bla-Bla", EventLogEntryType.Information);
WCF service
        [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
        void GetActValuesFromLine(string line);
string line - external data FOR opc object
and his callback
    public interface IDuplexPipeWcfServiceCallback

Software Update Point and Windows Services

Hello,
I am using SCCM to manage updates, so I am curious if I can disable the service for Windows Update and the updates will still install from SCCM. From what I can tell I can, but want to be sure. Problem we are having is Even with the GPO set to disable Automatic
Updates, computers are still reaching out to Microsoft. I verified the change is taking place by checking HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Update\AU and see the NoAutoUpdate DWORD set to 0x...1(1). On the machines under the Windows Update I see that
Automatic Update is disabled.
My thought is I can disable Windows Update/Automatic Update and this communication will stop. What problems do I expose myself to by doing this?

Thanks for the sites, very easy to understand and cleared the mud some. So I am not controlling the WSUS server in GPO, I am letting the SCCM Agent modify the local policy so that it points to the Primary server, which also has WSUS installed. Also from
the reading, Windows Update/Automatic Update is necessary for SUP.
I don't know what to do to stop the communication to Microsoft's update services. Our LAN/WAN group has gone as far as blocking the IPs being used on the Client PC subnets, but the communication is still happening for some reason.

They are seeing it at app level as ms-update, if that means something to someone else. It is a client in SCCM 2012 too, and I don't have the option to allow Microsoft Updates if the DP doesn't have the updates on it.

Audigy 2 and Windows Service Pack 2 Prob

Hi , well my problem is with the game Nascar 2003 season.
To start off with I have updated every possible driver I can think of.
The problem is when I hit the escape key to get out of the car it makes a screeching noise and the screen goes blue with white broken-up vertical lines ( like the mattrix). Then it goes blank and reboots.
I have tried all sorts of things, like I can put any other soundcard in and the problem goes away. I started removing programs. no help..then I removed SP2 and the problem went away.
So I decide to do a clean install of windows and went out and bought Ghost for a easy system restore
And again no problem untill SP2 is installed.
Also this is the only problem I am having and its only with this one game.
Thanks for any input.

Your problem has nothing to do with SP2. Just take a look in the forums and you will find TONS of similair problems with Audigy cards.
Before you ask Creative for anwers, I will give you a few, they will give you:
Did you install the latest drivers?
Did you try moving the Soundcard to a different PCI slot?
The problem is probably your graphics card, have you tried replacing it's
Is your PC in the vicinity of a MicroWave oven?
Have you disabled your onboard soundcard?
Have you rebooted your PC?
Have you tried the soundcard in another PC?
Are you living near a nuclear powerplant?
Is your PC running hot?
The problem is your third party speakset! Have you tried the Creative ones?

Iplanet 4.16 and windows service pack 4

Is anyone aware of any issues I might encounter by installing service pack 4 to the server?
Thanks!

Logically I don't think it will cause any issue, anyway PC Server is cheap you can always test it up on a test server.
Older iPlanet (Netscape) Directory Server 4.X has been a very stable product so far from what I have experienced.

Crsctl stop and windows

Hi. all.
I tried to stop a RAC database installed on 32-bit windows 2003 server.
I run the followings:
1. srvctl stop instance -d rac -i rac1
2. srvctl stop nodeapps -n nodename
Until now, everything is fine.
Howerver, when I was trying to stop clusterware by "crsctl stop crs",
cluster-related windows services is not going to down.
Here is the log, when I issued "crsctl stop crs".
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>crsctl stop crs
Stopping resources.
Successfully stopped CRS resources
Stopping CSSD.
Shutting down CSS daemon.
Shutdown request successfully issued.
I can see the followings in service window.
OracleCRService is now successfully down.
OracleCSService is now going down, but not down.
OracleEVMService is now going up , but not up.
What happened? Is it useful to run "crsctl start/stop crs"
on 32-bit windows 2003 Server??
Thanks in advance. Have a good day.
Best Regards.

Not sure above is right way to check status of CRS.
Try following to get clear picture
go to CRS_HOME/bin ( like cd c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs\bin) and run
crs_stat -v ( For detail )
crs_stat -t ( for Table format)

Excel Automation with Interop - Windows Service - Microsoft Excel cannot access the file

I have a windows console application, which automates Excel. In our scenario the application gets called from a Windows Service. If the console app is executed directly everything works fine. If the console app is executed through the Win Service, we get
the following error when trying to open the excel file:
Unhandled exception Occured : 'Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'bla.xls'. There are several possible reasons:
The file name or path does not exist.
The file is being used by another program.
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.'.'
The code snippet used to open the file:
xlApp = new Application();xlApp.Visible = false;xlApp.UserControl = false;xlApp.Application.ScreenUpdating = false;xlApp.DisplayAlerts = false;xlWorkbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open( Filename: filePath, UpdateLinks: 2, IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended: true, Editable: false);
The console app and windows service are running on a Win Server 2008 64-bit OS with Excel 2013 32-bit installed. The service is running with a special user account, which has all the right permissions on accessed files and folders. The excel process is also
started with the same account (I cheched that one).
I already tried to do the following, but to no avail:
Run excel.exe /automation -> worked fine
Created the folders and also gave full control to the account under which the service is run (even gave full control to Everyone)
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
Configured DCOM
Excel Application -> Identity -> Specific user account
Excel Application -> Identity -> Interactive User
Excel Application -> Security -> Launch permissions -> Everyone full control
Several combinations of the above
So I really am stuck with this problem right now. Any input on this is appreciated.

Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office
may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side.
If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution.
You can read more about that in the

Questions about Windows services on a OS X 10.3 server

Hi! I'm wanting to configure an OS X 10.3 server to participate in a Windows workgroup so I can share a directory on the server that the Windows machine can use as a backup drive, of sorts. I've got only ONE Windows box in an all-Mac network. The ultimate goal is to provide an automated backup solution for the Windows machine. I would like the Windows user to copy their files to the server so the scheduled Backup running on the server will backup their files, along with the rest of the files that are backed up to iDisk.
So, I'm thinking I can use the Windows service on the OS X server to provide the backup directory/folder the Windows machine will map to a local windows drive, making it easy to copy files to the target backup area.
I've got AFP, OpenDirectory (I think), and Windows service as the only services running on the OS X server. I've got the Windows service setup as a standalone server with the correct workgroup name and the Windows machine is setup with the same workgroup as the server. The Windows machine is running Windows XP.
I've got the Windows service setup to act as the workgroup browse master and I do NOT have WINS enabled.
Now for my questions:
When I view the workgroup on the server in the "Network" area of Finder, I see nothing. When I view the workgroup on the Windows machine, I only see the Windows machine. On the server, I turned on the Windows service log and noticed only SMBD was starting, not NMBD. I presume this is why the server can't "see" the Windows machine and vice-versa, correct?
I've read the following threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2358362&#2358362
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4132419&#4132419
and it looks like I need to create an account for the Windows user on the OS X server and I'm thinking I need to use the "Workgroup Manager" for that, right?
There are no passwords for the Windows accounts that would be connecting to the same backup area on the server. Will I be able to create accounts without passwords on the server for these users or will I be required to specify a password for when the Windows machine connects to the server?
This is my first time configuring an OS X server like this so please excuse my elementary questions.
Thanks!
Peace...

You need to make sure the shortname in workgroup manager is the same as the logon name when you create the drive on the PC.
Personally i'd do it all over IP. On the PC goto Run, and type \\ip address of server\sharename. It should then ask for a UN/PW, this is what you've entered into workgroup manager, and should be the shortname.
That should then give you the drive.
To map it so its always there when they log-in, goto my computer and map network drive, making sure you click the link that says 'use a different account to connect'
