On site TFS server: Release Process Documentation?

We have a Visual Studio TFS 2013 on-site server (portal), with GIT client.
Our environments are simple: local PC programming, ITDEV server, UAT, PRODUCTION.
The code set is on TFS server and pulled to local PC.
I want to be able to have different code sets. For example, local=release 5 code, ITDEV=release 4 code set, UAT=release 3, PRODUCTION= release 2.
Would you happen to know please if there is standard documentation that supports what must be a pretty standard and basic process?
Stew

Hi Stew
Could you say a bit more about your setup as I'm not quite sure what your different release numbers relate to? I'm also not sure what "pulled to local PC" means.
If you are looking to do continuous delivery one of the core tenets that
exactly the same build passes through each stage of the deployment pipeline, with only configuration items changing between stages.
My blog post series
here provides a walk-through of the whole process.

Oracle9i Application Server Release 2

Oracle9i Application Server Release 2, which includes Oracle9iAS
Portal Release 3.1, is planned for the final calendar quarter of
2001.
What are the new features of 9iAS Release 2 and Portal Release
3.1?
Thank you.

The 9iAS R2 was desupported a few years ago and the link for software download has also been removed from the Oracle site.

A failure occurred while the server was processing report file

Hi All,
I keep getting this error while opening the report in Infoview, "A failure occurred while the server was processing report file".
I checked Event viewer there i have lot of errors with the same message and the source is "BusinessObject_crproc".
Please advise me what i have to do to resolve the issue.
Environment: BOXI3.1, CR2008, Windows Server 2003
Thanks
Sudharsan.

We got this error message on a report that had 5 subreports, 3 of which were based on stored procedures. The report was running fine in our Dev environment and in the CR developer, but not when we published it to another environment. The problem was caused because the stored procedures had been changed in Dev (so that they ran correctly) but these changes had not been released to the other environment. Once the scripts were run to update the stored procedures the report ran successfully. So it apepars that the problem was because the stored procedure/s the subreports were using were failing, but we only got the RCIRAS0546 error message.

Visual Studio 2012 is no longer able to interact with any TFS server

I can connect to the on-premise TFS2012 server using the instance of VS2012 installed on the server machine as well as the instance of VS2012 installed on a coworker's machine.
I was able to interact with TFS2012 using the instance of VS2012 installed on my Win7 x64 machine, but only one time. Many reboots later, both of the server itself and my machine, I haven't been able to get VS2012 to interact properly with TFS.
When I click on "Team" and select "Connect to Team Foundation Server", the "Team Explorer" VS window opens. In that window, no matter what button or link I click on, Visual
Studio won't connect to TFS or allow me to choose a TFS server.
1. Clicking on the Home icon takes me to page with two buttons: Pending Changes & settings.
Clicking on "Pending Changes" takes me to a page where I can do 3 things: click on "no workspace" (nothing happens), click on Actions -> Open Source Control Explorer (which opens an
empty Source Control Explorer Window, from which I can do nothing), click on "Settings", which shows me a page with 4 options:
Security: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Group Membership: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Source Control: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: serverName"
Process Template Manager: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null: Parameter name: tpc"
2. Clicking on the "Connect to Team Projects" icon takes me to a page where I can click on either:
"Configure Team Projects": clicking it does nothing
"Connect": clicking it does nothing
"Sign Up": opens a Visual Studio Online page on my web browser
If I instead go to File -> Source Control -> Advanced, there is only one option which appears to be working:
Change Source Control. When I click on it I get a window with a table with rows that correspond to the current solution and the projects in the current solution. ie:
Solution/Project: {item name}
Server Name: "<No Server>"
Server Binding: "<No Server>"
Connected: {gray uncheckable checkbox}
Status: "Not Controlled"
Local Binding:
Provider:
Relative path:
The buttons "Connect", "Disconnect", "Browse" are disabled. Clicking on the "Bind" button results in a window with the message "The mappings
for the solution could not be found" and two buttons: Ok and
Help. Clicking on Help results in a white window with the message:
"The 'EurekaPackage' package did not load correctly. The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:\User\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml'.
Continue to show this error message?"
Clicking "yes" open the following page on my web browser, which essentially tells me to go back to the "Change Source Control" window and unbind the project, which VS is not letting me do:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev11.query?appId=Dev11IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k%28vs.tfc.sourcecontrol.MessageConnectionManagerCantBind%29;k%28TargetFrameworkMoniker-.NETFramework
The following is an excerpt from the "ActivityLog.xml" file mentioned in the white window that appeared when I clicked on the "Help" button:

What, if anything, can I do in order to be able to get Visual Studio 2012 to interact with TFS?

I'll add that when I run devenv.exe with the flag /TFSLink, VS opens a Team Explorer window that contains the following text:
An exception was encountered while constructing the content of this frame. This information is also logged in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml".Exception details:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsShell5.LoadPackageWithContext(Guid& packageGuid, Int32 reason, Guid& context)   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Platform.WindowManagement.WindowFrame.GetPackage()   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Platform.WindowManagement.WindowFrame.ConstructContent()

[Forum FAQ] Reporting Service Point cannot be installed on a Site System Server running SQL Server 2012 SP1

Symptom: When you install Reporting Service Point role on a Site System Server running SQL Server
2012 SP1, you may encounter an issue that the Reporting Service Point role cannot be installed. The error log “srsrpMSI.log” and “srsrpsetup.log” may throw the error as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
03:32:03:764]:
MainEngineThread is returning 1618
Figure 1: Error -1
<03/03/14 03:32:03>

Figure 2: Error -2
Reason: All the two logs indicate an error return code 1618. From the KB below you may know what
the return code means.

This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

Seperate NT service for App server and Process Scheduler

Is it possible to create a separate NT service for App server and Process Schedule for the same environment? Everytime i need to shutdown either App Domain or Prcs Domain (not both) using service, it brings down both.
I could use psadmin but services run as a different user.
Please advise.

What PeopleTools release are you using? Off the top of my head, one strategy would be to use different PS_CFG_HOMEs for the App and the Process scheduler. The service points to the PS_CFG_HOME and reads the pswinsrv.cfg file to know what to start/stop. I'm not sure there is a way to override psntsrv and tell it to use a different config file, so you may need a different HOME. You could also create a script that wraps the service start/stop. It could edit/update the config file prior to stop/start and remove Process Scheduler from the config and then reinsert it later.
You could have a stop_app/start_app and stop_prcs/start_prcs script that would copy in specific versions of the pswinsrv.cfg file for what you want to do.

SCCM 2012 -OS images not transfering to DP ERROR Detail will be available when server finishes processing the message

I am having issue with some application, packages, and images pushing from my Primary SCCM server to the secondary servers and DPs.
I am thinking that the issues are all related so I am going to just talk about the image that I am having a problem with push.
The image has successfully transfered to the Primary site, and secondary sites, but it is having a problem with a DP. The error that shows up in "Content Status" says "Detail will be available when server finishes processing the
messages". All the servers are 2008 R2 server, with SCCM 2012 SP1.
I would take a look at logs for this, but I am pretty new to SCCM, and I'm not sure which log to look at for additional information.
Thank you for any help that can be provided.

The logs pointed me to an error about the Pull DP settings. I think the issue is that I have the images stored on the Primary site, and the DP does not have the Primary site in its Pull DP settings tab. I unchecked the option, and it appears to be working
now. Thank you

Phone hog links give me error message "an error occuredon the server when processing the URL

When ever I click on the links sent from phone hog.com to earn free minutes I get the following error message. "An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator" I have made several contacts with phone hog help and they claim it is my settings on my computer. However I contacted my internet provider TDS telecom and they indicated that this is a phone hog issue. I do not have any other problems with any other links I click on with this type of error message.

Hello msFit,
it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed troubleshooting. To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

Production release process using headstart.

Hello,
I am completley new to headstart. I have been given a new project to work on which has forms 9i, desginer 9i, oracle 9i AS and headstart 6.5.3.0 for 9i.
I would like to know how do I go about using headstart to generate forms. Specifically, I would like to know how do I develop using headstart and then deploy them to test and production environment. Do I need to install headstart( Middle tier and database objects ) in my production setup ?
I would highly appreciate if anybody can me a brief overview of development and production release process using headstart.
Many thanks,

Hi,
The headstart user guide probably has all the info you need. Specifically Part VI, Deploying your Applications, is just what you're looking for. You can find the user guide (along with other useful documentation in the <hsd65_home>\docs directory.

Is vsftpd included in the Oracle Enterprise Linux Server Release 5.3?

Hi there,
I have just installed Oracle Enterprise Linux server release 5.3 (Tikanga). I was trying to setup the "vsftpd" service but was unable to find it. Do you know if vsftpd is distributed along with 5.3 or do I need to install it seperately? Although there is "gssftp" and I configured the same.
In case anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I need this vsftpd thing also. Someone told me that it works as a file server right? We need to have sa centralized repository of all our Oracle Apps Documentations (BR100, MD50, Oracle Tutor, Test Scripts, TA100, etc)
How do you configured this thing as "centralized" repository?
Thanks a lot,
Ms K

Renaming TFS Server name upon migration from TFS 2010 to TFS 2012

We are migrating from TFS 2010 on existing server to TFS 2012 on new server. All components (TFS 2012, SQL 2012, SPS 2010) are directly on the new server similar to existing server (TFS 2010, SQL 2008 R2, WSS 3.0).
The new server has a new name, however the service provider that does the actual migration,
wants to rename
the new server to be same name as the name of the original existing server when it is shutdown. The rename is intended to be done using
netdom utility.
I noticed there are articles by microsoft and others that describe various issues that may arrise as
result of TFS server rename. However service provider still plans to rename based on his field experience and best practices.
What do u recommend to do in this aspect ? Why would it be necessary to rename and not use the new name (DNS can map old name as well to the new IP) ? What are the actual risks in such rename and is it worth it ?
Thank u

Hi Cathy,
Thank u for your reply.
We know that renaming the new server to the same name as the original one, is
not a must for the migration to work. The issue in question is as follows :
1. A Microsoft partner that has hands on experience in TFS migration, and planned to migrate for us, recommends to rename the new server name, to the original server name, utilizing net_dom command, and to do it during / after same procedure u
provided link to.
2. We found Microsoft documentation that cautions about renaming the server, e.g. renaming SQL server which is in our case on same machine where TFS 2012 is to be installed. However, the partner urges us to rename, explaining that net_dom should perform
the rename safely without caution risk.
Kindly let u sknow if Micorsoft considers such rename with net_dom to be a good
practice in low risk for such migration,
or better keep the new server name as it is and just map the old server name in DNS to the IP of the new server.
Thank u.

WebCenter Sites Mobility Server, SSXA and workflows

Hi all,
I am trying to evaluate if "WebCenter Sites Mobility Server" adapts to the requirements of a new project. I have been reading the documentation intensively but I have not been able to find the answers to the two questions below.
1) Is it possible to use Site Studio for External Applications with WebCenter Sites Mobility Server?
2) Is it possible to use workflows with Mobility Server so that a contributor can accept or reject changes?
Any help would be really helpful.

You can not use SSXA or SiteStudio with Mobility Server. Also deep workflow integration is not there.
You should think about Mobility Server as a preview and publishing extension of Sites. You would create and approve all your assets in WebCenter Sites the way you normally would. Mobility Server accesses those assets via REST but uses it's own pubishing model to deploy the mobile site. It's integrated to via REST and the Preview UI (which sits in the Sites container as a App next to the contributor interface). That is the extent of the integration we have today.
