Getting Error :- Only one instance of COBRAS Export can be running at a time

Hi All,
I was checking the Briefcase Mode help file and it mentions for Unity Conection
that COBRAS will run multiple instances of itself – if you schedule multiple backups to fire up at the same time they will all run at the same time.
However if I schedule multiple backups to fire at the same time then I get the error :- "Only one instance of COBRAS Export can be running at a time".
This also happens if the COBRAS windows is left open and the scheduled backup starts in the background.
http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/General/COBRAS/Help/COBRAS_Briefcase/COBRAS_Briefcase.htm#_Toc276653845
I am not sure if I am making a mistake in understanding the statement :- "COBRAS will run multiple instances of itself – if you schedule multiple backups to fire up at the same time" or do we need to add any switch like lot of other application need like /m etc in the field of the scheduled backups as I see as /silent switch for process to run in background automatically but none for multiple instances.
I am attaching the screen shots of the errors I got when
A.) I scheduled 2 backups to run at the same time and the COBRAS application window was open "COBRASExportCUC7.exe" was running  and no backup took place and got errors for both the scheduled backups.
And
B.) I scheduled 2 backups to run at the same time and the COBRAS application window was closed off and "COBRASExportCUC7.exe" was not running and one of the scheduled backups started to work and the other one gave error and didn't work
Unity Connection in use :- Version 8.0.3.20000-18
Cobras Export :- Version 1.0 Build 76
Please Suggest.

Yeah, I’m of two minds on that – on the one hand it’s bad style to have a scheduled application popping dialog boxes (especially if you’re running as an account you don’t log in as regularly) – one the other hand I did have some sites go a while not noticing backups were failing (due to a UNC not flying any longer after a server reconfig) – folks can be bad about checking log files or the event log for issues.  A pop up would pretty much guarantee they’d notice on next login at any rate.
I think I may stitch in email notifications in COBRAS Export in the same way they’re in the User Data Dump so failures of scheduled backups would be noticed right away (big, bright email in your box saying “failed!” would do it). 
Either way, I’ll update the help and make sure it fails quietly for now when I update some other items on the site middle of next week.
Thanks for the report.

  • Allowing only ONE instance of a PDF to be open

    I'm trying to work out a new system for proofreading and commenting in our business using the Comment and Markup tools in Acrobat 8 Professional. I'd like to allow multiple users on a network to interact and markup a PDF easily. I'd like to make it so that one of two things can happen:
    a) Only one instance of a PDF can be opened at once on the same network. That is to say, if a user on one computer opens a PDF, another user on the network on a different computer cannot open that same PDF at all, until the first user has closed it. Also, I'm not sure if the functionality for this would be implemented in Acrobat or the operating system (Mac OS X 10.6, to be precise).
    b) Multiple users can open a PDF simultaneously, and markups and comments from all users are somehow saved.
    I'm sure it's more of a possibility for a) to happen, but perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway, I hope there is a solution out there! Thanks for all your help!

    George,
    Thank you for your helpful reply. It does appear that Shared Reviews is capable of providing our business exactly what we need in this regard. I have found that Acrobat 8 does support Shared Reviews, but it only does so with Network Folder locations and WebDAV folders as locations for comment servers. I know how to get to the process to set up Shared Reviews, but not how to designate or set up a folder as a comment server using Network Folders or WebDAV. Unless you just so happen to know about that process as well, I will post a new thread, since the problem of finding a solution has been solved, but the new problem of implementing it has risen.
    Although using Acrobat X Pro to share PDFs and collaborate automatically using Acrobat.com sounds mighty tempting...

  • PAR iView: Only one instance need to be opened by a user in a portal sessio

    Hi All,
      Please  let us know how to enforce only one instance of PAR iView is opened at a given time for a user.
    Regards,
    Gangadharayya.
    For Eg: let us say We have created PAR iview <b>A</b>. Once user <b>U</b> logs in to portal and opens A by clcking on iView link(Let us say that it opens in New Window).
            If U clicks once again on A iView link now , it is opening in one more new window.
           How to stop this scenario i.e. when user tries to open A once again, it should clsoe previous window or SOMETHING LIKE THAT

    Hi,
    How do you link to IView ? If you link with html like
    <a href="http://www.sap.com" target="_blank">SAP</a>
    try to use a target parameter
    <a href="http://www.sap.com" target="sap">SAP</a>
    If you link in this way,
    First time user clicks link,
    It opens new window
    If user clicks the link second time it just refreshes previous opened window.
    Regards
    Abdul.

  • Instead of creating multiple Instances I want to create only one Instance.

    Hi Everyone
    Good morning, How are you.
    I have a requirement to transfer files from one location to another location, I am able to do this successfully using FTP Adapters.
    I have some Issues please help any one.
    1) When I deployed my process it is creating one instance for one file transfer, Suppose If I have 50 files in my Get
    directory, After deploy the process 50 instances are creating and 50 Email generating saying files are not tranfered successfully.
    Instead of creating 50 Instances I want to create only one Instance.
    2) When files are not transferd it will fire error mail saying that not success (I want to display all file names(not tranfered files) in my mail , i.e whatever files are not tranfered, need to diplay in mail).
    3) And I am not able to transfer 0 size files, But in BPEL Console Instance is creating for 0 size file also and I am getting Email for success... and In put directory 0 size file is not showing. (Instance is creating and Success Email coming but file is not exists in Put directory)
    Please help me.

  • Only one instance in a RAC will start at a time

    All:
    I have a 4 node Oracle RAC running on RHEL AS 4 64 bit. 10.2.0.1 64 Bit
    This DB was running just fine last week.
    Now all of a sudden only one instance will start.
    In the alert log I get an ORA-1102
    crsctl shows everything good
    srvctl show all node apps running
    srvctl shows all ASM instances running
    When the second instance starts the alert log shows the reconfiguration taking place.
    Then the second instance will die after getting an ORA-1102.
    I have tried deleting and re-adding all the instances with DBCA.
    ocrcheck comes back fine on all nodes.
    I have another RAC on the same set of HP Blades that is still hunky dorey so I don't know what is going on.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    check the value of cluster_database parameter
    it should be TRUE on all instances, also post ur alert log and trace file.
    Thanks

  • How to restrict only one instance of web service running at a time

    Hi All,
    Have a requirement to ensure that only one instance of java web service is active at any point of time.
    Using Application Server 10.1.3.4. Not the soa suite.
    Thanks
    Saikrishna

    Thanks for the reply..
    I have a java web service that pulls up some files produced periodically from remote machine and uploads them to some doc mgmt system and then update the database that what files are uplaoded successfully so that during next run it will ignore those files.
    so, if my web service executes second time before completion of first run. It would pick files that were already processed by first run since the first run might have not updated the databse yet.
    Thanks

  • Best way to have only one  instance of an object in web application.

    Hello,
    I defined a class that provides services to my web application: subscribes user, check if user already subscrubed etc. The objects don't need to save any session information. So it is like a Stateless Session Bean (from what I've read about Session beans).
    The webapp is small and I don't want to use EJBs.
    What would be the best way to have one instance of the above class in my webapp ?
    Would making the class static be a good method ? Using a factory ?
    Is there a way to put in web.xml something that asks the container to instantiate an object that is not a servlet and place it in Application scope, so that I cann retrieve it whenever required in my app ?
    Other suggestions ?
    Thank you,
    Vlad.

    Hi
    The best way to have only one instance is use the singleton pattern. The idea is : the class has a private
    contructor, a public static method that returns an instance of this object and a static member that is false if not any instance and true if there si an instance.
    To obtain one instance you can do some like
    MyObject ob=MyObject.getIntance();
    this method inspect the static member and returns null if true. If false set to true and return the object
    via the private constructor.

    Hi
    Something has probably changed on the protected server side that affects the DPM agent. In some cases the DCOM configuration could change. Look at this blogpost and verify your DPMRA DCOM object.
    http://robertanddpm.blogspot.com/2010/08/dpm-ra-rights.html
    If this doesn't do the trick try reinstall the agent.

    Whenever you post formatted text (such as query output) on this site, type these 6 characters:
