MySQL 5.0 Standard distribution is not working with Xsan on my Xserve.

Hello,
until now we have always used on our Xservers the MySQL 5.0 Standard distribution downloadable from www.mysql.com (thus not the MySQL 4.1 that is shipped with Mac OS X 10.4 Server) with its datadir located on an internal disk of the Xserve. Since we have recently set up our Xsan we should now migrate the MySQL datadir to a directory on our 4 Tb Xsan volume, but doing so MySQL 5.0 no longer starts and even a myisamchk complains that the FYI tables are not MyIsam tables (but they are, I just copied the whole "local" datadir to the Xsan volume).
I then tried to configure the "standard" MySQL 4.1 that Apple ships with Mac OS X Server so that it uses the datadir on the Xsan volume and it starts with no problems, but we need MySQL 5.0! The problem seems to be therefore an incompatibility between the MySQLCOM distribution and the Xsan volumes.
Our setup is: an Xserve G5 dual 2 GHz running Mac OS X 10.4.8 and Xsan 1.4.1, MySQL 5.0.26,.
I wish to know if anyone else has encountered similar problems and how this has been eventually fixed.
Thank you, Fabrizio

Well, we actually have quite a few reasons to host the MySQL data on Xsan:
- concurrent access: among other data, the Xsan should also store some MySQL databases actually used by a single web server hosting many virtual hosts and user-managed folders that we want to "split" on two Xserves for both load balancing and failover purposes. The idea is to keep the configuration for all virtual hosts and user folders on both servers activating only one half of them per server, so that in case one server fails the other can easily take its place.
- space: we have more than 4TB on Xsan, versus the 250 GB mirrored disks of the Xserve. Our databases actually occupy few gigabytes, but they will surely grow in the future.
- money: our company paid more than 100.000 euros for 14 Xserve, 2 Xserve Raid units and 10 Xsan licenses, and we want to use them as much as possible.
- database: performance is not a big concern for us while affordability is mandatory. BTW, one of the larger and most frequently used databases is composed by large blobs of data (it's used to store PDF files).
We purchased all these Apple server products because we always loved Macs and their OS: I still think that Mac OS X is the perfect OS for desktops/notebooks and Mac OS X Server/Xsan running on the Xserve platform are a good and relatively cheap choice for video editing and HPC. But while time goes by and more and more (often inexplicable) problems occur on our Xservers under stress, I also guess that the Apple server line is not the better choice for what we need to do: web hosting, email and authentication services, DHCP, network traffic analysis, and so on, for a big university.
We had always used Sun servers with Solaris up to few years ago and they never gave us a single problem after many years of use (and misuse), then Mac OS X 10.0.4 was relased...

Standard datasource do not work with Delta DTP

Hi,
0MAT_PLANT datasource is connected to an infoobject and a datastore
object. The DTP into the infoobject manage the delta but the delta dtp is not supported for the Datastore transformation.
The following message occure:
"Update mode 'Construct Opening Status' is usually not permitted for updating a DataStore object. With the update modes 'Initialization of the Delta Process', and 'Delta Update', whether an update to a DataStore object update is permitted depends on the delta process,."
When i create a specific extractor i do not face the problem.
Is it possible to use delta DTP to populate datastore with datasource using E delta process?
thanks for your help,

Hi Viermont,
Did you check the OSS Note: 973475 - No delta extraction for materials in ODS object
Symptom
During the delta extraction of data for the following DataSources, the system issues error message RSM1 113 ('Cannot update DataSource &1 to a DataStore object').
0MATERIAL_ATTR
0ARTICLE_ATTR
0MAT_PLANT_ATTR
0ART_PLANT_ATTR
0MAT_SALES_ATTR
0ART_SALES_ATTR
0MAT_ST_LOC_ATTR
0ART_ST_LOC_ATTR
In update mode, you want to update the DataSources with delta procedure E to an ODS object as the data target.
Other terms
RSM1 113, RSM1113, RSM1(113), ODS, delta procedure E, roosource
Reason and Prerequisites
The ODS object update is not permitted with delta procedure E for the 'Initialization of the delta method' and 'Delta update' update modes .
Solution
Carry out the following steps for the 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR or 0ART_PLANT_ATTR DataSources (for customers using the industry solution retail).
Carry out the same steps for the other DataSources, but use the following program in step 1:
0MATERIAL_ATTR or 0ARTICLE_ATTR --> Z0MATERIAL_ATTR_UPDATE
0MAT_SALES_ATTR or 0ART_SALES_ATTR --> Z0MAT_SALES_ATTR_UPDATE
0MAT_ST_LOC_ATTR or 0ART_ST_LOC_ATTR --> Z0MAT_ST_LOC_ATTR_UPDATE
1. Implement the attached Z0MAT_PLANT_ATTR_UPDATE program and execute it in your OLTP system.
2. Use transaction RSA5 to activate the 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR or 0ART_PLANT_ATTR DataSource in your OLTP system. Open the following nodes:
SAP-R/3 -> LO -> LO-IO
Select the 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR or 0ART_PLANT_ATTR DataSource and choose 'Activate DataSources'.
3. You can use transaction RSA2 to check the 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR or 0ART_PLANT_ATTR DataSource. The delta procedure should be NEWE.
4. Replicate the DataSource in the BW system.
To do this, call the Administrator Workbench in the BW system and display the DataSources for the relevant source system. Find the DataSource in the DataSource overview and replicate it.

Dynamic Distribution Groups not working with Office365 Mailboxes

Ok so my problem is this. I am creating new dynamic distribution lists based on office location with the option to look at the notes section in AD and add an additional office if a user needs to be on both lists.
We have recently started using Office365 for some users and they need to get the emails too.
When I create the group initially using:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "Location-London UK" -OrganizationalUnit "domain.net/Groups/Email Groups/Locations" -RecipientContainer "domain.net/Our Users" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientType -eq 'MailUser') -or (RecipientType
-eq 'UserMailbox') -and (Office -eq 'London') -or (Notes -eq 'London')}
It creates the group limiting to the Accounts with London as their office but it includes every Office365 mailbox we have also.
There is a DDG in our EMC for an office in Hong Kong but I am not aware of who created it.
Its filter says:
((((((RecipientType -eq 'MailUser') -or (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox'))) -and (Office -eq 'HongKong'))) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'MailboxPlan')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue
-eq 'DiscoveryMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'ArbitrationMailbox')))
This group includes only the users with Hong Kong as well as Office365 users with Hong Kong as their office location
Ive tried to recreate this DG but cant as using Powershell still makes groups with the Office265 users in them.
The only way ive successfully created a London DG is by using ADSIedit to copy the msExchQueryFilter from Hong Kong to London and change the Office Name to London
Any help would be appreciated

For your recipient filter, use the following:
{((RecipientType -eq 'MailUser') -or (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox')) -and
((Office -eq 'London') -or (Notes -eq 'London'))}
See if that works ... that's effectively how the Hong Kong one is built. Make sure you get the extra parentheses (I bolded them), they should make the difference.

PreparedStatement not working with Oracle

Hi All,
I am using preparedStatement in my JDBC code to fetch/insert values from oracle9i database.
I am checking condition like if a given record does not exist then insert it else update it.
First time it works when there is no row in database, however for subsequent run it's not able to return me the result though that row exist in database and this resulting in DuplicateKeyException becuase it try to create the row in db again.
The code is working fine for MySQL DB2 and SQLServer but doesn't work in case oracle 9i
Here is mycode
//problem is here 1st time it works next time it is not retunring true though record is there in DB.
if(isItemExist("1","CORP"))
updateItem("1","CORP","DESC1");
else
insertItem("1","CORP","DESC1");
public boolean isItemExist(String itemid, String storeid)
String FIND_SQL = "SELECT item_desc from item where item_id = ? and store_id = ? ";
c = utils.getConnection();
ps = c.prepareStatement();
int i = 1;
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
rs = ps.executeQuery();
if(rs.next()){
     return true;
utils.close(c, ps, rs);
else{
     return false;
utils.close(c, ps, rs);
public void createItem(String itemid, String storeid, String item_desc)
String INSERT_SQL = "INSERT INTO item(item_id,store_id,item_desc)values(?, ?, ?)";
c = utils.getConnection();
ps = c.prepareStatement();
int i = 1;
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, item_desc);
ps.executeUpdate();
utils.close(c, ps, null);
public void updateItem(String itemid, String storeid, String item_desc)
String INSERT_SQL = "UPDATE item SET item_desc = ?, store_id=? WHERE item_id = ?";
c = utils.getConnection();
ps = c.prepareStatement();
int i = 1;
ps.setString(i++, item_desc);
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
ps.executeUpdate();
utils.close(c, ps, null);
Kindly suggest what's wrong with code. because same code works with other databse like SQL Server, MySQL but it is not working with oracle9i.

if(isItemExist("1","CORP"))
updateItem("1","CORP","DESC1");
else
insertItem("1","CORP","DESC1");
String FIND_SQL = "SELECT item_desc from item where item_id = ? and store_id = ? ";
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
String INSERT_SQL = "INSERT INTO item(item_id,store_id,item_desc)values(?, ?, ?)";
ps.setString(i++, itemid);
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, item_desc);
String INSERT_SQL = "UPDATE item SET item_desc = ?, store_id=? WHERE item_id = ?";
ps.setString(i++, item_desc);
ps.setString(i++, storeid);
ps.setString(i++, itemid);My first guess, looking at the above snippets, would be that the item_id field is a number and not a string and so you should be calling ps.setInt instead of ps.setString when setting that parameter.
This is only a guess, however, since you have not posted what the actual error is, which will probably give a hint to what the actual error is.

Database Mail not working with SQL Server Agent

I'm running SQL Server 2005 Standard edition 64 bit with SP2 on a 64 bit machine.
Database mail does not work with SQL Server Agent. When I configure SQL Server Agent to use database mail the test email button is greyed out and inactive therefore I cannot send emails using operators or for jub success failure etc.
I've read that there was supposed to be a fix for this with SP1 but I have SP2 and still receive the same problem. Please can somebody help as I do not wish to use SQL Mail as a work around due to this becomming redundant in future versions of SQL Server.
Kind Regards

The problems solved
steps:
1)we create a mail profile at at Managment->Database Mail ,of SQL Managment
2)we set this account as "default" at Managment->Database Mail -> Configure Database Mail -> Manage profile security
3)At tab "Alert System" of SQL Server Agent properties , we check the "Enable mail profile" , Mail System=Database Mail, Mail profile = "the profile we already create"
4)we create a new operator at "Operators" of sql agent, where at "notification options" -> "Email name" we put the mail where we want to sent the agent the mails at failured job
5)We go at a specific job, at tab "Notifications" ,we check the "email" check box and then we choose the operator we just create, at the text box next to check box.
I hope not to forget something
Thank You all for the help

Line-in not working with new driv

Has anyone else had issues with the line-in jack not working with new drivers? Is there a way to get it to work??Very frustrated. Is there a link to the beta drivers, they worked better for me then the new one.

The line input on the mini requires a 'line-level' signal, so the only microphones that work are ones that have an amplified output. Standard mics don't generate enough voltage to drive the mini's amplifiers.
That's the reason the mics work with the Griffin device (it has an amplifier) but not the mini directly.

Line-in not working with microphone?

Line-in not working with microphone.
I have Mac Mini Intel 1.83 GHz with 10.4.8
I have tried plugging 3 microphones into the line-input on the back, also on my wife's Mac Mini (same model, os), but I cannot get to record into the Mac.
I've been into System Prefs and set input to Line In and slid the Input Volume to high, but nothing.
I know the Microphones work because if I plug them into a Griffin USB/mini jack adaptor and do it that way by selecting iMic USB audio system from the Input in System Prefs all works fine.
But I need to use the mic with the Line-In.
Any ideas why this is not working?

Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers

Product: Zenworks for Desktops 7Sp1 and Zenworks For Server/TED 7Sp1HP5
Subject: Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers ,
all on Linux
Description: We have an exiting environment with 6 ZfS Servers and now we
brought up a new Server for another location. I configured all same as on
the other Server and the new one created all NAL-Apps at the new location.
But in the Application Site list on the golden App is this Application
missing. So I clicked on the Link up site list on the Distribution Screen
in C1. On ApplicationSite list the App from the new location is missing.
So I removed all and added the new from the new location and now i see all
in the application site list.When I install an app on the client on the
new location NAL is connecting alway th the same (wrong location-server
and i get an msi error 1612 or id=53272 with path=\Wrong serverpath to
file.
I looked on the other tab on C1 at the golden app an I see the backlinks
are going to all other servers without the new one. Software installation
on other locations are ok
Regards

Andreas,
I forgot to mention that you can also set the loging level on the Distributor and the Subscriber to 6. to do this at the Zenworks Server Management prompt type "setconsolelevel 6" if you want to capture this to the log file ted.log then use "setfilelevel 6"
Next delete the Distribution from the Subscriber and then re-push the channel.
What we are looking for here in the log is the creation of the object and the linking information about the gold object. it should look like this (not the failure part ;-))) )
In this excerpt you will see the entry
Golden App =
This should be were the link is to
You can check this both ways in the Golden App and in the Distributed Application.
Here is a log from me that shows this info as an example of what you should be looking for.

[rxvt-unicode]pseudo-transparency not working with Awesome WM (solved)

Hi all,
first of all, let me tell you that I googled about this problem, I read the Archwiki, the rxvt FAQ and several threads in multiple forums but nothing that I found actually worked.
I'm using Awesome WM and OpenBox and my rxvt is the standard rxvt-unicode from the repos.
Since an update, rxvt is not transparent anymore (I was using pseudo-transparency). Actually, transparency works with OpenBox but it does not work with Awesome WM. I find it very weird.
I tried increasing the shading value in .Xdefaults as suggested in an other thread in this form but it did not help at all. I thought the problem was that I needed libafterimage so I installed it but then, how to use it?
Does someone have any idea about this? I'd be very thankfull!
Last edited by Sherwood51 (2011-01-18 17:04:37)

And how exactly did you get it to work with feh ? I keep failing to get pseudo-transparency.
My theme.lua has this:
awsetbg -f -u feh path/to/wallpaper
and I also tried this:
feh --bg-scale path/to/wallpaper
and in Xdefaults:
URxvt*background 0
URxvt*depth 24 ( doesn't work with 32 either )
URxvt*inheritPixmap true
URxvt*transparent true
EDIT:
I got cairo working ( finally ), so I have true transparency, so don't mind my post.

Why will iPod touch not work with beosound 8?

We have 2 ipod touch. One has just updated to version 5.1.1 and does not work with the Beosound 8. The other has the older version and works with beosound8. Is this update the problem?Any suggestions?

Yu can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
Sometimes iOS updates break compatibility with accessorities.
Have you contacted the manufacturer/went to their support site?

Fusion might be a bit less feature rich, but it seems they are more complaint. Also Apple sells Fusion and likely uses it themselves.
Both are excellent of course.

Captivate 8 content not working with screen readers

My Adobe Captivate 8 published content is not working with any of the screen readers I have tested: JAWS, Mac Voice Over, and Windows Narrator. It is a simple launch page with 6 buttons used to launch additional CBTs.
I have been over and over the content in the help topic for this and cannot find any reason to think I am not doing this right:
[ ] https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/creating-accessible-projects.html
I have added accessibility text for the slide, I have tried adding the accessibility text for the buttons, have turned on accessibility in my publish settings, I have even tried just adding a text caption sitting on the slide with the text I want read by the screenreader - none of it works.
I have searched the forums and it appears others have this issue as well. The latest forum post was having to do with Captivate 7 - where the poster followed up stating Adobe Support recognized this as a "bug". Does screen reader accessibility work in Captivate 8 or not?
Is there anyone out there who has produced content that works with a screen reader?! If so, please tell me what the secret is!!

I've been able to get a screen reader to read parts of a Captivate 8 presentation using the HTML5 output (but NOT the .swf output). I tested using NVDA.
However - they keyboard accessibility does not seem to be functioning correctly. I can tab through buttons and such - but hitting enter on any of the buttons (play, forward, backward, closed captions, audio) does not work.
Overall - doesn't seem that Captivate 8 is as "accessible" as Adobe is claiming. Much of what they claim should work - does not.
CP8 is certainly no where near WCAG 2.0 "AA" standards (which unfortunately is where i need things to be).

MySQL 5.0 Standard distribution is not working with Xsan on my Xserve.
