Activatable server with GUI?

Hi,
I wonder if an activatable server may have a GUI.
In what an environment is the server started? Can it
contact a display?
Thank you,
wiedkla

Hi,
let me make a guess:
the execution environment is inherited from either
rmid or rmiregistry.
Am I right?
Have fun,
Klaus

Problem client/server with GUI

I have a problem with a project im working on. I have a main method that has an infinite loop but before it enters the loop, i draw the GUI. I put a simple print statement and found that it goes through the loop once. Can someone help me to figure out why the file does not send. I tried running this code without the GUI and the file sends.
here is the code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
          final String PATH = "/home/dford/Desktop/";
          ClientGUI display = new ClientGUI();
          try{
               Download[] download = new Download[5];
               int downloadIndex = 0;
               ServerSocket welcomeSocket = new ServerSocket(9876);
               while(true)
                    try{
                         Socket connectionSocket = welcomeSocket.accept();
                         if(downloadIndex < 5)
                              download[downloadIndex++] = new Download(connectionSocket,
                                                                                 3334,
                                                                                 PATH + "snake.c");
                    catch(Exception e){}
                    System.out.println("Got here");
                    for(int i=0; i<downloadIndex; i++){
                         while(download.hasMore()){
                              download[i].getNext();
          catch(Exception e){
               System.err.println(e);
     }**And im trieing not to use Threads, but if i have to please let me know.

How to use webmail address book on Mac Mini Server with Lion Server.

I have a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server installed; the webmail is setup and working but I can not get the address book to work.
I have followed an instruction from this website on how to activate the address book icon in webmail but can not add any addresses. Is there something that needs to be activatied before it will work?

No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.

Replace KMS server with same-named server

I need to replace my KMS server (win2008r2) with a new server (win2012r2), but with the original server’s name.
This is my plan:
      Shutdown the current KMS server and remove it from AD, WINS & DNS
      Rename the new server with the old server’s name
      I have already added the VAMT role to the win2k12 server, but not configured it
Install our KMS VL & run the office 2013 volume license pack on the new server
Does anyone see any problems with this plan?
Do I need to uninstall the KMS key from the original server first?
What kinds of issues will the users see before the 25 client activations happen?
Thanks!

This is fine.
KMS is resolved via a DNS Service record: _vlmcs._tcp.<domainname>
Whenever you are finished installing KMS on the new server, ensure the SRV record is correct.
NOTE: Remember the new KMS server will not start to activate clients until the thresholds are met. (5 servers or 25 clients)

How to manage J2EE Container with GUI?

I have used Oracle9i J2EE Container for 6 months. I have managed via command-line (on Win2000). It's not convenient for admin the server. I searched for the documents about manage with GUI, admin tool or Enterprise Manager but I found a few document on Oracle website that didn't help me too much.
Does anybody suggest me about any admin tool or how to use + configure Enterprise Manager or where to find rich documents?
Thank you so much

Narong,
Enterprise Manager is available with Oracle9iAS Release 2 and OC4J is a managed component withiin Oracle9iAS. You have to download Oracle9iAS Release 2 from OTN(may be just J2EE Webcache edition) if you want to use the GUI tool.
You can use the following link to download Oracle9iAS Release2 http://otn.oracle.com/software/htdocs/devlic.html?/software/products/ias/htdocs/winsoft.html

Run OpenMQ Server with Unlimited Consume Messages.

Hi,
I am starting OpenMQ server using imqbrokerd file. After 24 hrs it don't allow any messages because destination property i.e. maxNumMsgs=100000.
I want to start OpenMQ server with unlimited consumed messages i.e. maxNumMsgs=-1.
How can i do that? I don't want to open admin gui & change the destination properties manually.
I want to know the way to start OpenMQ server with unlimited consumed messages i.e. maxNumMsgs=-1
Is it possible to pass this information at the time of startup?
With regards,
Pawan Modi

Hi,
I found the solution to my problem. Change the value for these variables as shown below in default.properties file at <MQ_HOME>/lib/props/broker/
imq.autocreate.destination.maxNumMsgs=-1
imq.autocreate.destination.maxTotalMsgBytes=-1
imq.autocreate.destination.maxNumProducers=-1
imq.autocreate.destination.maxBytesPerMsg=-1
Restart MQ server these changes will come in to effect.
Thanks & regards,
Pawan Modi

Client-Server side GUI programming

for information but there are some parts that i didnt understand and wait for your help
i m trying to build an online-help(live chat) system so when people press the start chat button a java page will appear but i wonder how this will connect to the person who is on server side

I mean when user press the chat button the online help supporter will be informed somebody wants to speak with him and they will start a chat
how can i do something like that
any help would be usefull thanks

Below is an example of a client/server program.
It shows how the server listens for multiple clients.
* TriviaServerMulti.java
* Created on May 12, 2005
package server;
* @author johnz
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Random;
* This TriviaServer can handle multiple clientSockets simultaneously
* This is accomplished by:
* - listening for incoming clientSocket request in endless loop
* - spawning a new TriviaServer for each incoming request
* Client connects to server with:
* telnet <ip_address> <port>
*     <ip_address> = IP address of server
* <port> = port of server
* In this case the port is 4413 , but server can listen on any port
* If server runs on the same PC as client use IP_addess = localhost
* The server reads file
* Note: a production server needs to handle start, stop and status commands

Activatable server's and windows nt logoff

Hi,
I have developed an activatable server which is supposed to always be running. The rmid and rmiregistry is installed as services using the xyntservice tool. rmid and rmiregistry are started with the -xrs option to prevent them from closing upon logoff.
The activatable server supports two methods. Start and stop. Upon installation of the server its started. All works well and the server is running ok. Thanks to the wonderfull activation api it is even restarted if the host is restarted.
My problem is that the activatable server is closing down upon nt logoff. I have no problem restarting it from a client using the start method but its annoying since I want it to always be running - other applications in the network relies on it running!
Someone got any clues?

Thanks,
Your info pointed me into the right directions. I now realize that I need to pass -Xrs to the environment starting my server. This can probably be done as you describe below but I simply pass -C-Xrs as option to rmid. In my case this is sufficient.
Supply your own
ActivationGroupDesc.CommandEnvironment, specifying the
appropriate command line to start a service (I don't
know what that is, sorry), rather than just letting it
start java.exe by itself as it normally would.

Building new server with old home folders

I have a dying 10.5.5 server with OD that is in dire need of a rebuild. I am going to install 10.5.8 unlimited on a new machine and create all the same user accounts(names) in WGM, I then want to re-link all the old home folders to the new accounts.
Is this as simple as naming the new accounts identically as the old ones and then making the home folder location the same as the old?
Will I need to do anything regarding permissions on the old home folders etc??

Hi,
I have had to do the same thing many times what with server upgrades, crashes etc and I have found the most effective way is as follows:
1. Create the OD on the new machine and create the accounts making sure that the shortnames are the same so that the home folder names match in the new location.
2 as root user (type su - in terminal and put in the root password)use rsync in the terminal to copy the old folders to the new location eg:
rsync -av --progress [email protected]:/Volumes/userdata/homefolders/ /Volumes/userdata/homefolders/
That could take some time but it is better than using a gui as it can tend to corrupt a few things.
NOW, you will find that there are permissions issues if the user ID's have changed accross servers so I always run a little script to correct this. I will explain how to do it in the terminal in case you may be baffled by the terminal, my apologies if you already know this but it may help someone else.
open terminal and type: vi permissions.sh
you will then be in a vi editing window. Press I (thats an Eye not an Ell)to start editing and type in the following (adjust for your own environment)
for i in /Volumes/userdata/homefolders/*
do
u=`echo $i | cut -d/ -f5`
chown -R $u /Volumes/userdata/homefolders/$u
done
Now press ESC to get out of editing mode and type : x (without the space in between, edited to remove smiley) and hit return to exit and save.
back in the terminal window type chmod 777 permissions.sh (this makes the script executable)
Now you should be ready to run the script which will effectively take the name of each folder and change the ownership of everything in said folder to the new user and rectify any permissions issues.
type: ./permissions.sh
You should be sorted now.
Alternatively you can try Passenger. http://macinmind.com/?pid=2&progid=1&subpid=1 which can do all of the above but I find it quicker to do it manually.
I do use passenger for bulk account creation though, admins best friend.
Hope I never lost the plot there and that it helps someone on their way

Server Admin GUI not displaying complete information

Recently, the Server Admin GUI stopped displaying complete information for one of our servers. It works fine for the other.
All servers are set up very much the same, other than one is an Xserve and one is a G5 tower. The one giving the grief is the G5 tower.
Server Admin is version 10.4.7 and was working fine until a few days ago.
When I click on the computer name (or IP) in the "Computers and Services" list, then look at any of the tabs > "Overview" "Logs" "System" "Graphs" or "Update" no information is retrieved. With the exception of Hard Drive capacity.
All other services (Web, VPN, Mail) report all info without problems.
Weird, hey? Any thoughts appreciated.

Well it pretty easy. I've taken out the code that is unused so you can see what is going on.
import javax.swing.* ;
public class Shareddilog extends JDialog
public static void main(String[] args)
Shareddilog s=new Shareddilog();
s.show();
}This is the only code that is executed in your program. It created a JDialog and then shows it. What you want to do, I imagine, is to put all the GUI stuff in your constructor and make sure you call pack() on it before you are done.

Hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection

Setup a home file/Media server with no internet access

Hi,
I have a home network with a wifi router connected to an Adsl modem. I try to setup a new server (macbook pro with Yosemite as OS) which will be only used as file and media server for my local network.
I DO NOT want this server to have access to out of my local network and no one out of my local network could access it. in other words, it has to be isolated as a local server with no incoming/outgoing access from out of my local network.
I should mention that this server can be accessed by other family members and they can setup other applications without my awareness... and I do not want to manually deny each access request (in or out) in the server's firewall and I am not always behind the server. I want to be sure that "all access" from/to out of my local network are denied.
my local network dhcp rang is 192.168.10.10 to 192.168.10.20 and I have a firewall on the router and one on this server (little snitch).
I have no idea how to do this, how to configure IPs out of my local network in the firewalls etc...
I would appreciate if anyone can help me (I have a limited knowledge about networking)
Many thanks
Bye

Thanks for your reply ChuckBing.
Unfortunately I had already copied the instructions I found in the Sun documentaion to the letter and it still needed access to the internet. In the end I solved the problem by pointing the iepluginurl to a non existent file and putting a URL, pointing to an offline JRE executable on the server, as the message that appears when the applet cannot be loaded. The clients then have the choice of downloading the JRE or installing it online by clicking on the URL.
Thanks anyway.

SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013

We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server.
Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one?
Old Server:
SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
New Server:
Server 2012
Exchange 2013
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Dave,
It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
you in the past).
For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model. In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration.
You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration. But the high points are in here. If it looks
like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain. Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
Hopefully this info answered your original question.
Cheers,
