Script to redirect a Application to secondary server if primary server is not available in a .ini file

Hi Team,
I want to write a script in the .ini file of an excel add-in on the users windows system , where if the primary server is not available it should automatically redirect to the secondary server.
Can someone help me in this?

Hi Jrv,
As I said its an Add-in (Twuploader) in excel which uses a ini file to connect to a server. I want the addin to connect to another available server when the primary is not available. This is the ini file content below:
[TradeWeb]
Host=Server1
Port=8002
User=abcd
[Upload]
AutoMode=N
UserInt=5
[Toolbar]
Visible=Y
Row=26
Pos=1
Top=-32000
Left=-32000
Let me know how to edit this ini file so that if Server1 is unavailable it should connect server2.

Installed SQL Reporting Services 2012 on SharePoint 2013 Server. SQL Reporting Service not available In the list of runnning services or new service applications

Hi I'm trying to setup SQL reporting services in a SharePoint 2013 farm consisting of:
4 WFE's
4 App Servers (NLB Central Admin x 4 servers)
4 App Severs for SSRS (Light limited SharePoint services running)
I've installed SSRS 2012 SP1 by following the guide (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492276.aspx) on one of the SSRS SharePoint 2013 servers and ensuring Reporting Services - SharePoint and Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products is selected.
All completed without errors and I have even upgraded to SP2 for troubleshooting but no joy.
I've then gone into SharePoint Central Admin and I cannot see SQL Reporting Service available In the list of runnning services on the server I have just installed SSRS on and going to manage service applications I cannot see in the new dropdown menu SQL
Reporting Services.
I have ran the following commands in the SHarePoint management shell:
Install-SPRSService and Install-SPRSSeviceProxy
and
get-spserviceinstance -all |where {$_.TypeName -like "SQL Server Reporting*"} | Start-SPServiceInstance
The reply was that the service was already online on the server.
So in powershell all seems ok but it does not appear in central administration.
I have also moved Central Administration to the SSRS SharePoint server too.
Any other suggestions? Here is the same problem but in SP2010 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/6a21cc05-1f9b-49ad-a9bb-44aa5b3ce312/action?threadDisplayName=after-installing-sql-reporting-services-service-for-sharepoint-2012-service-is-not-in-the-list-of)
In my lab environment of a 4 server SP2013 farm it worked immediately when i installed it on the app server (CA host) so I dont think it is my install strategy.
I guess my next attempt is to install SSRS on an app server with central administration hosted.
Thanks

I had the same issue on 2 different environments.
I had 2 application servers. One had Central Administration. I installed SSRS on the other one and it never appeared in the Service Applications in SharePoint.
When I also provisioned Central Administration on the other application server and went to the service applications using Central Admin on that server, the SSRS service application was there.
Since then I always install SSRS on the server which hosts Central Admin. No issues then.

CM2012 secondary server to primary server database sync

Hi friends,
I want to measure the secondary server database to primary server database traffic? How often it gets replicated and how to measure what exactly is getting replicated.
Background work done:
I did measure using perfmon and found that sec server to primary is ~900MB/hr
I did look at the sp and tables for global_proxy tables and the data is getting replicated from primary to secondary.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Torsten Thalnk you, we are seeing very abnormal traffic between our secondary ( in which ~4000 clients are reporting) to primary server database(again primary server db in remote, individual box and not with SMS provider). I am trying to find which
table/file replication is behind the very high traffic. Any lead will be great help. P.s : it is not the file replication issue since file replication from secondary server going to primary server SMS provider box. also, I am planning to look SQL perspective
and trying to find out SQL replication and broker service point of view the replication data. Basically, I need to find out exact data - files or tables or ? And their sizes. So I will know if our updates scan cycles/hardware inventory/CI/state messages or
some other thing is aggressive which can be tuned to reduce this traffic which is impacting WAN link Thank you in advance

IChat server admin Service Running, status not available

X-Serve running 10.6.8
I noticed the other day thaat when I look at the iChat service in Server Admin, I observed the following:
iChat service is: Running
Start Time: Not Available
Domain: Not Available
Client Connections: Not Available
The log screen says No Log Files exist
I have seen similar screens when there was a slight lag in server admin gathering information to display on screen. This stays this way indefinately. The service is working as far as I can tell, IE people can log in, add each other, and chat. A log file is in fact being used and updated (/var/jabberd/message_archive/)
I noticed this because I was trying to autobuddy.sh, I script I use often to update when I add new users to the organization so they show up in everyones group list. I attempted to stop the service from the command line using:
#:serveradmin stop jabber
#:jabber: state = RUNNING
and was never able to stop iChat. The system behaves the same after a reboot. I am not sure what to do, or what the actual problem is. The only thing besides a reboot that I tried was a permission repair from within the OS.
In the log below I removed some user specific information because they are user names for users on my network. This server and service is internal only.
the console logs I have this:

Any help on what might be going on or a push in a direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Well I searched the forums here and I found some similar issues, however the fix's I was directed too did not resolve the problem.
I did notice this today after reading a post regarding the use of the .local domain name, and fixing that fixes this issue:
When i selected my server on the left hand side of server admin, click on settings at the top (the gear) then on Network, I see:
Ethernet 1 (eth0) IPv4 192.1.1.4 Aphrodite.local
I am not sure where the .local is coming from. This is an internal server and has been configured with a FQDN for 2 years now, aphrodite.cotaoil.net. On the server, the only other place I see the .local, is in system preferences, sharing, at the top it has my fqdn, but when I click on edit, it has a local host field that says Aphrodite, with a .local greyed out after, or ghosted.
When I use the command changeip -checkhostname I recieve:
changeip -checkhostname
Primary address = 192.1.1.4
Current HostName = aphrodite.cotaoil.net
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
dirserv:success = "success"
the hostname not available message is new (well I know at some point in the not too distant past I did not have this message) so I am not sure if an update broke this or not but basically I am not sure where to go from here.
The DNS settings are set the same as they were when I originally set up the server. Reviewing DNS logs, I do not see anything abnormal.
additionally when I run scutil i get:
aphrodite:~ root# scutil --get LocalHostName
Aphrodite
aphrodite:~ root# scutil --get ComputerName
Aphrodite.cotaoil.net
I am a little stumped as to where to go from here. I believe based on some other posts Ive read that this may have something to do with why I cannot see any iChat status and am recieving the dreaded "detailed service status not available until network configuration completed"
Thanks for any and all thoughts. Currently reviewing Hoffs tutorials, but I used combined Hoff tutorials and apple server guides when originally set up the server. Please let me know what I did wrong (besides my internal IP range)

Server Admin says Web service Not Available

The service status indicator is dark grey (not the dimmed grey of a service being off), and even the Settings view switch button is not showing.
However, Apache is running and serving just fine.
I had someone install Tomcat 5.0.28 today (using port :8080), and I really think that's related as the problem wasn't present until after this. This person unfortunately removed the built-in Tomcat and installed Tomcat 5 in its place (which we'll move tomorrow), but I'm wondering if there's some config settings or something that could be causing a conflict?
Or, maybe there's another reason altogether. What would make Server Admin think Apache is not even available, when in fact it is actually running just fine.
Thx for any ideas...

CIMC on C210 server throws Error 2001: Service not available message

I am trying to configure vmware on a brand new C210 server for the first time and the directions say to access the CIMC and load the vmware media. Sounds easy enough except every time I go to the CIMC webpage I recieve an " error 2001: Service not available" message on every page I go to and none of the server info fields are populated. If I try to make any changes and save my settings the same message pops up and no changes are saved. Almost like the CIMC doesn't recognize the server or hardware. I ran the host update utility just now and upgraded the firmware for everything to the latest version but still no progress. Anyone have this happen or know how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Jess

I got it working on one of the servers, and havent tried the same solutions on any other server.
What i did was manually adding an IP adress to the management IP, then save the config before rebooting. After rebooting i put it back to get IP from DHCP, and saved the config. After a secound reboot i was able to use the mangement interface without the 2001 error.
I'm not sure if it will work on the rest of the servers, but it's worth a try

BPEL gets deployed on SOA server successfully but it is not available

Hi, I go to http://localhost:7001/em and click on SOA folder in the left panel. I can clearly see the soa_infra(soa_server1) under the SOA folder. There is a default partition under the soa_infra on which I deploy a BPEL application as a jar file (This jar file is generated by the JDeveloper.) The BPEL deploys successfully on the soa_server1 without any issues or error messages. The log file confirms that the BPEL got deployed successfully. Under the default partition on the left panel I can see the name of the BPEL now. I click on the BPEL name and look at the detail page. Over there, the "Test" tab is disabled. There are no instances or faults. Also under the "component Metrics" section, I don't see anything but a message: "Unavailable". I am already spending 3 days trying to find out what may be wrong and resolve the issue but I haven't been successful. Please help! Thanks.

Hi 952205, I start the soa_server1 manually right after I bring up the weblogic. In EM console (localhost:7001/em), I can see the soa_server1 is in "Running" state. There is an error message that comes up when I start the weblogic. It says something about the messaging server and I am not sure if it is related to the problem that I have: "<Error> <oracle.sdp.messaging.client> <SDP-25503> <Unable to connect to the messaging server.
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to lookup 'OraSDPM.ejb/sdpmessagingserver/MessagingStoreRemote' didn't find subcontext 'OraSDPM'. Resolved ''; remaining name 'OraSDPM/ejb/sdpmessagingserver/MessagingStoreRemote'"
I basically need to test the BPEL and currently the "Test" tab is disabled.

SharePoint Server 2013 farm software updates not available in SCCM

At my current customer, we are currently switching over to SCCM for all Software Update Management.
For now, the only issue we are experiencing is that we do not receive SharePoint updates on our SharePoint Server 2013 farm. With WSUS we can detect these, but they are not listed in SCCM. We sync directly with Windows Update.
It are specifically the updates that are marked as "farm-deployment", as you can see in example in this image.:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gI8Ew7RlY0g/VPqM0QUn6oI/AAAAAAAAIDQ/S1Ufp0x-mSU/s1600/windows%2Bupdate%2Bincludes%2Bsharepoint%2B2013%2Bpatches.png
In the SUP properties, we have enabled the Office 2013 product and all classifications besides "Tools".
Am I missing something?

I could see these SharePoint updates in my SCCM console.
N.B. the question was about "farm-deployment" updates specifically.
Can you please post a screen-shot showing these updates in the SCCM-console?
This is from WSUS:

Got the axect same problem. HELP!!! Using me.com still tho. But I want to use mail again!!!
UPDATE!!!
Okay, it is working now. I removed my account in Mail and upgraded to iCloud. Now it is working.

Server Description, Domain, WorkGroup information "Not Available"?

Hi Everyone,
Not that this is causing an issue with the performance of a couple of our servers (but more so for reporting of these servers via tools such as SCCM), I have a few servers which are showing the Computer Description and Workgroup or Domain values as "Not
Available".
Please see screenshot for more information
Has anyone else come across this sort of issue? If so, how was this resolved?
Thanks in Advance,
Simon

@Simon,
I've not personally come across this issue, but it seems likely that an access-denied situation might cause this.
e.g., "something" is blocking or has removed permissions to the registry keys or WMI class where this information is stored.
Perhaps in WMI: Win32_OperatingSystem.Description, and, Win32_NTDomain.Description, or, Win32_ComputerSystem.Workgroup ?
What do you get, if you execute: systeminfo
Or: SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe

Xserve stopped responding as primary server

we are using this server as primary server and rely on Dyndns as secondary server for a couple of domain names. We are doing so since 2 years.
Since yesterday the primary server suddenly stopped responding to hostname requests, even though nothing has been changed at all on our side, nor on our data-centre side.
Domain name is not expired and is still correctly registered. Any idea where the problem might be? (server side or not?)

some update: if we replace the records of aliases with 'machine' records then it works. this seem to be the case w/ all domains/records hosted on this server. We have no clue as to why the aliases suddenly stopped working.

Active Directory server is not available

i have just setup and started testing a new exchange 2007 on my network. we did not have a exchange before, so this is a new install.
my domain, xxx.com is a windows 2000 native AD. the exchange 2007 is a win 2003 sp1 x64, it is also a DC and has all roles assigned to it
in my network i have
dc01 win2000 sp4 dc (gc)
dc02 win2000 sp4 dc (gc)
exch01 win 2003 sp1 dc, rid, pdc, fmso, gc, infrastucture and naming
the install went well, and i have been testing it for the past 2 weeks this dummy accounts. test smtp connectors, etc. all was working fine. to the point that i have started planing the migration of the users
today i did some mods to IIS for a owa free SSL from startcom (as well as the root CAs). i have remove it since.
i now get the following errors when i start the console, or shell. :
Active Directory server exch01.xxx.com is not available. Error message: A local error occurred.
It was running command 'get-ExchangeAdministrator'.
The following error(s) were reported while loading topology information:

HELP.. i have no idea what it does not like.
exbpa does not report anything, i even get it to connect to the exch01 for it AD access.
Any ideas??
Thanks

(over all i like what i have been seeing in ex2007)

i think that you might be confusing "AD user account" and "profile". you DO NOT delete administrator from your AD Users and Computers. you only delete the Profile (\documents and settings\administrator folder). you can NOT do this while you are logged on using the administrator account.
be sure to backup any data in your my documents and any favorites
create another user that is in the domain admin group of your active directory, log on with that account and verify that the exchange tools works. then follow this to remove the profile.
>1). Logon the Exchange server by using another admin account.
>2). Open Control Panel, select System.
>3). Select Advanced tab and click the Settings button of User Profile.
>4). Delete the Profile of user which encounters this issue.
>5). Click OK.
>6). Restart the server and logon it by using Administrator account.
>
once this is done, logon with your administrator account and try the tools again, they should work.tn

Network Drives not available in Applications?

Hi,
I have a mcabook pro running leopard and another mac on my network that is not. This other mac has my firewire drive hooked up to it and all my files are saved there. I can access the other computer and drive just fine through the finder but when I am in an application the other computer and the drive are not available when I am trying to open or save a file. Can anyone help? Is there a way to add an icon for my other computer to the dock or to my desktop?

That's a large part of the problem. You have more than one font manager on your Mac. If you're not using Font Book, delete it. Then you need to reset its orphaned database so OS X stops trying to control which fonts are, or aren't active according to that data.
To remove Font Book from the hard drive, follow these steps:
1) Open Font Book, and then its preferences. Uncheck the box for "Alert me if system fonts change". Close the preferences and shut down Font Book. Put the Font Book application in the trash and delete it.
2) Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding it until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will reset Font Book's database and clear the cache files in your user account. The main goal in this step is to remove the orphaned Font Book database from the hard drive. With the Font Book application no longer on the hard drive, a new one cannot be created. Which is what we want.
3) Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Server side redirect with 4.5.1 and Netscape Enterprise Server

          Is it possible to have a servlet running under WL 4.5.1 to perform a server
          side redirect ala CGI?
          Here's my config:
          web server: Netscape Enterprise Server 3.6 on solaris, with weblogic
          plugin
          servlet runner: WL 4.5.1 on different host from ES.
          Here's what I want to happen:
          1) HTTP GET from browser to enterprise server
          2) forwarded by plugin to servlet
          3) servlet logs some activity to an application log file, and sends a
          server side redirect to enterprise server
          4) Enterprise server returns the file identified by the rediect directly
          to the client.
          This is possible with enterprise server and CGI, because the ES CGI code
          checks the return stream from the CGI program for "Location: <some url>". If
          it see's that, it tries to locally resolve that URL as the client had asked
          directly for that URL. I think this would only be possible with WL if the WL
          NSAPI plug in supported a server side redirect feature. Anyone know status
          of that? Or might ES support something like this depending on the order of
          the objects in obj.conf?
          Here's what I've tried in the servlet:
          res.setHeader("Location:", location);
          res.setContentType("magnus-internal/redirect");
          res.setStatus(302);
          This just sends an HTTP tempoary new location to the client for a client
          side redirect. Client side redirect is not desirable because it doubles the
          HTTP traffic.
          Another option would be to read the file I want to redirect to from inside
          the servlet and return it from the servlet, but that is not desirable
          because I want to have ES serve the file - thats it's job, it caches, less
          network traffic (between our servers), etc.
          Server side redirect is very useful feature and not that uncommon for web
          applications, so if WL does not support it now, I will probably put in a new
          feature request.
          Thanks for your help

Why not just use the proxy servlet to redirect to your netscape server? That
          does it on the server side!
