Adding a standalone instance to a farm

We have 2 application servers running 10g.
The first server I have created a farm (new file based repository). I have added that servers instance to the farm.
What I want to do is add the other application server instance to the farm.
When I issue this command either manually or through iasconsole, I get this error:
Command: dcmctl joinFarm -r myrephost.mydomain.com:7100
ADMN-202501
Base Exception:
The exception 202001, has occurred in the cache layer of the persistence manager on the Oracle Application Server Instance "myrephostInstance.myrephost.mydomain.com",
"An exception has occurred while accessing DCM repository. Please refer to the accompanying base exception for more details.
Resolution:
check the details of the base exception.
Base Exception:
The exception 202504, has occurred in the cache layer of the persistence manager
"No network connection to [192.168.2.8:7152, pos=2, uid=0, name=, pri=0]".
Now I'm executing this command from the standalone instance that I want to be added to the farm. The ip is 192.168.2.8. The machines are on the same switch, so there is network connectivity because I can ssh, smb, etc. I guess the real question is, how does it pick port 7152? I know my dcmCache.xml states the following:
<port lower="7120" upper="7179"/>
So I guess it just picks a port in between? I cannot telnet from my repository machine to the machine i want to add to the farm via any of those ports. I dont see anything from "netstat -natp" running except dcm-daemon on port 7100.
I cannot find one single person that has this issue based on forums, yahoo, google, etc. Anyone know where I can look for more guidance?
Thanks so much

I guess a way around this..and a really better approach is to create a database-based repository. Although, my oracle database doesnt have a dcm schema. Does anyone know if i can export a file-based repository to a database-based repository or how would i go about created a database-based repository for the first time ?

  • Change standalone instance server name in EM Console.

    I am looking for a way to change the standalone instance name in OEM. The standalone instances are found under the farm. I need to change the servername to servername.domainname. I looked at the targets.xml file, it is for changing opmn components not the servernames as they display in the farm. I am using EM 10.1.2 on Windows 2003. I did change the hosts file but how does EM pick up the changes? Any ideas? Thanks.

  • How do you use only one plugin in Logic for multiple guitar tracks? I want to only use one instance of Pod Farm and run all my guitar tracks through that one instance.

    I want to be able to use only one instance of Pod Farm for my guitars, and have all of my guitar tracks run through it while I'm recording.

    What he said. Or here is a similar approach with a picture.
    1. Press the SEND button on every stereo (or mono) guitar track you want to send through the effect. Then select a free bus.
    2. Make sure you turn up the amount of send (in db). Holding alt while leftclicking on this circle sets the send level to 0 db wich is good.
    3. Open the mixer (Cmd+2). Please see that I here have turned the output off from the stereo guitar track. That way the only output will be the BUS, in your case the AmpTrack bus where all your guitars will pass through. If you want both the original guitar sound AND the Ampfarm effect then just set all outputs on your guitar tracks to Stereo Out, like the AmpF Bus track is set in my picture.
    4. Insert your AmpFarm plugin here. I don´t have that plug so I inserted Waves Renes Axe for demo purpose.
    Adjust the volume/effect of every guitartrack by turning the circle input shown as 2. in my picture.
    I now see that you mentioned Pod Farm, not AmpFarm. But I guess it´s the same trick.
    Have fun.

  • Error while adding a WFE to a Sharepoint farm

    Hi,
    I am getting an error while trying to add a WFE to a sharepoint farm.
    Below is the script I am running in the WFE server
    Connect-SPConfigurationDatabase
    -DatabaseServer $DBServer -DatabaseName
    $DBName -Passphrase (ConvertTo-SecureString $PassPhrase

    I had done a lot of other tests to check whether the connection between the WFE and sharepoint farm is valid or not. For eg:
    - Was able to create a configuration database in sharepoint farm from WFE server using New-SPConfigurationDatabase script. By this I was able to setup central admin in WFE.
    The only problem is I am not able to connect to an existing configuration database. Please help.

    Yes I tried adding in SQL alias and executed the sharepoint wizard, but I am still getting the same error.

  • Adding listeners for instances on other frames

    I'm trying to create a very standard menu, the type where there are links on each page that links to each other. So far I've put each menu page on a separate frame (total around 35 frames), and each link as its own instance/class. Originally I planned to create an array containing all the links like this:
    var menuLinks:Array =
                                //Main menu - frame 1
                                menuRightSide.newStoryLink,
                                menuRightSide.continueStoryLink,
                                menuRightSide.selectChapterLink,
                                menuRightSide.optionsLink,
                                menuRightSide.charactersLink,
                                menuRightSide.aboutLink,
                                //chapters menu - frame 2
                                menuRightSide.chapter1,
                                menuRightSide.chapter2,
                                menuRightSide.chapter3,
                                menuRightSide.chapter4,
                                menuRightSide.chapter5,

                                menuRightSide.char4,
                                menuRightSide.char5,
                                menuRightSide.char6,
                                //options - frame 4
                                menuRightSide.languageLink,
                                menuRightSide.costumeLink,
                                //function links - these exist on MULTIPLE frames/pages, eg options, characters, chapters all have backToMainLink
                                menuRightSide.backToMainLink,
                                menuRightSide.backToCharLink,
                                menuRightSide.backToOptionsLink,
                                menuRightSide.backToCostumeLink,
                                ]; //create array of links for menus
                currentPage = "main_menu";
                for each (var links:MovieClip in menuLinks)
                    links.buttonMode = true; //set links to behave like button
                    links.mouseChildren = false; //mouse over does not affect this instance's children
                    links.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onOver);
                    links.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onOut);
                    links.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

                    TweenMax.to(e.target, 1, {glowFilter:{color:0xFFFFFF, alpha:1, blurX:10, blurY:10}}); //glow effect
                function onOut(e:MouseEvent):void //remove glow on link on mouse out
                    TweenMax.to(e.target, 1, {glowFilter:{color:0xFFFFFF, alpha:0, blurX:0, blurY:0, remove:true}}); //remove glow
                function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void

                        TweenLite.to(menuRightSide, 0.2, {alpha:1, delay:0.2});
    Basically adding listener for every link, then simply telling AS what to do when I click the link regardless of what page I'm currently on.
    However the problem is I realized listeners can't be added for links that exist on other frames other than frame 1, because they're null I think until AS flips to that frame.
    So does anyone have an idea on how I should code this? Another challenge is some links (the ones at the bottom of the array) exist on MULTIPLE frames, but perform the exact same thing regardless of which page it was clicked on.
    Thanks.

    I arranged them on separate frames because that way I know exactly what's on each page. If I simply list out all the links on one frame, then it gets extremely messy visually.
    So if I want to add listeners on other frames, how would I do that? I know the pseudo-code:
    on frame 1:
    for (each link on frame 1) {
    link.addEventListener()
    on frame 2:
    for (each link on frame 2) {
    link.addEventListener()
    ... etc
    function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void
                    currentPage = e.target.name;
                    if (e.target.name == "newStoryLink") {
                        delegate.beginStory();
                    } else if (e.target.name == "continueStoryLink") {
                        //do something else

  • Cluster cannot be added to this instance - Performance Manager

    Hi, I installed an instance of Performance Manager and added two clusters to it. For whatever reason I had to ditch the Performance Manager VM and re-deploy it. Now that I have a new instance, I cannot add the clusters to it. Yes, I should have removed them before I destroyed the first instance, but I didn't. How can I tell the clusters that they are no longer being managed by the old instance of Performance Manager? The documentation says to ignore the warning, but alas that is not possible, it will not let you add them. Error: Cluster <xxx> is currently managed by the following instance of OnCommand Performance Manager: URL:                       https://<xxx.xxx.com>:443System ID:          <uuid-here> Managing a cluster with multiple instances of the same application will impact the performance of the cluster. You must remove cluster <xxx> from the instance of OnCommand Performance Manager above before adding it to this instance of OnCommand Performance Manager. Thanks

  • Adding thousands of instances of a movie clip

    I am trying to add around 20,000 instances of a single small

    slowly, so I would like to know if there is a way to preload it?
    The class that adds the movie clip library symbol (World) is not
    the document class, nor is it referenced from the document class. I

  • Adding a Dialog instance to a live production database.

    We are adding a number of new App servers to a ECC6 7.0 Live production database but we don't have enough confidence in the in the information in InstGui and install guide that it will not over write the /sapmnt/SID/exe of the running CI.
    Has anyone done this and is just down to not selecting the unpack Kernel and oracle client check boxes in the Parameter Summary?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    >If parameters are set correctly it shouldn't ask you to unpack exe files.
    >DI should get all exe files from CI and it will do the same copy again whenever it gets restarted.
    Well, yes if only, the DI use the same kernel as the CI...
    For example we run our ECC6 production system with a CI on Windows 2003 64 Itanium and the DI on Windows 2003 x86_64.

  • Adding a database instance target.

    Hello,
    Now That I have OEM grid control install I want to add a database instance to monitor.
    So in The OEM console I went to TARGETS -> DATABASES ->ADD.
    I enter the database host ip.
    (The database is install in a different machine from OEM).
    Error message "Host - Unable to find the host name entered."
    This means that it can´t find the machine or the agent?
    ping to the machime works.
    (The database installed is the 10g R2 enterprise edition so the agent is already installed right? )
    I can deploy an agent using the console but I think the agent is already there.
    Thanks in advance for the help

  • Adding many flash instances. Performance issues?

    I had a general question about adding many flash embeds on a
    page. I have a page with 12 transparent, non-animating swf files,
    ech showing a single static images and each roughly 20k in size.
    But my concern is that on slower machines this might be taxing on
    the CPU, cause memory issues, maybe page loading issues...?
    Any thoughts on this or other concerns?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this. Which browser (and version) are you using? My question was as much about the performance of Flash player in a 64 bit environment as it was about the video playback hardware performance. I'm sceptical of the shared video memory and throughput performance of the Intel-based 4500HD graphics package in my laptop. I'm worried that it might not be sufficient for full-screen flash video playback, or for large external displays, so I'm trying to explain the poor platback performance that I'm seeing, and hopefully show that it's not the fault of the video HW.
    Which video HW do you have in your dell?
    Thanks

  • Adding 2 domains to a SharePoint FArm

    Hi,
    I have a SharePoint 2010 ( 2- tier farm) have 2 domains - Domain A & Domain B...both reside in the same forest and there is trust enabled between the domains.
    in the SharePoint web App - site..I am able to add users from Domain A but not for Domain B.
    I tried this commands
    stsadm -o setapppassword -password <yourkey>
    and this command
    stsadm -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv domain:domainB.local -url
    http://
    did an iisreset....still not able to find users from domain B.
    Please help me here , what am I missing, any help would be appreciated !

    You don't need or want to use the setapppassword option, as you are using trusted domains it
    isn't required.
    The second command is closer however your syntax is wrong.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc263460(v=office.12).aspx
    stsadm –o setproperty –pn peoplepicker-searchadforests –pv <list of forests or domains> -url <WebApp>
    The list of forests/domains should be a semi-colon separated list of all the domains to search. I assume that your 'http://' actually included
    the url to the web application? You are also missing the quotation marks in your script.
    Can you copy and paste the command you are using into a response, then change the sensitive bits of the URL and domain?

  • Adding a subform instance

    Being relatively new to anything more complex than simple drop down lists and hiding fields, I am attempting to allow a button to insert another copy (unlimited times) of a specific subform.  I keep running into "you have reached the maximum number of items allowed." when using the preview option.  I have searched in multiple places for trying to resolve this.  I am attaching the generic form if anyone can help.  Thanks.

    The flowed subform indicates that it will take all objects that it encounters and flow them on the page from top to bottom. Positioned content means that you can place objects in a subform and it will maintain their X.Y position within the subform space. So if you place your content within a positioned subform (to retain the X,Y positions, then place the positioned within a flowed subform then the flowed subform will move th eposition to the left side of the page but your objects will remain relative to the positioned subform. So make sure your positioned subform is the width of the page.
    Make sense?
    There is a good example of the architecture that you shoudl follow in the samples that ship with Designer. Have a look at the Dynamic Interactive Purchae Order located in this loaction in the Designer install folder:
