AFP not releasing users client

We have a problem with our client (MacPro) which is using Leopard 10.5.7 (client).
We are using this Mac as a 'server' for our other Macs and MacBooks (total 7). They connect true Apple filesharing and mount several volumes from our 'client server MacPro).
The problem:
After some time we get the message that there are more connections then 10 to this MacPro.
We are having 7 Macs. So how is that possible?
We found a terminal command: netstat -f inet -n | grep ".548 "
And yes, there are more then 10 connections to this MacPro.
We think that this MacPro is holding the idle connections for a time and not releasing AFP connections. Of course after some (long) time they will be out.
Question: does anyone know a workaround for this problem?
Is it possible to disconnect idle connections from the list?
And is it a bug?
Peter Tollenaar

I have been researching your issue and I can only find references to OSX Server.
with AFP connections even when a user is idle they can be disconnected from the server but the server caches the connection so that the client can automatically reconnect. eg if a mac sleeps it can reconnect to the server when it wakes automatically.
I presume the AppleFileServer in leopard client does a similar thing as the AppleFileServer on my leopard server is the same version that is running on Leopard Client.
In leopard server you use the serveradmin command to configure the AFP server properties.
In leoapard client there is no built in preference panel you can use to configure this setting.
However if you use MacPilot from Koingo software you have many functions including configuring the advanced features of the apple file server. You can download and use this software free of charge for a trial period.
In the General tab of the MacPilot toolbar scroll down to Sharing(Server) and experiment with changing the 'Reconnect Flag' to 'None'.
I am unable to test this at my end so cannot guarantee that this is the fix.
Make a back up of /Library/Preferencs/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist on the server before you make any changes.

AFP not letting users log in

AFP is not allowing the Open Directory users to authenticate and access the server of you use Go to Server. From the Finder sidebar it will work.

I have the same problem. AFP seems to be unresponsive... the service acts in a strange way...
Look how the server reacts at the following commands:
sh-3.2# serveradmin status afp
afp:state = "STOPPED"
sh-3.2# serveradmin start afp
afp:state = "STOPPED"
afp:status = 0
sh-3.2# serveradmin status afp
afp:state = "STOPPED"
sh-3.2# serveradmin start afp
bind(): Address already in use
com.apple.AppleFileServer: Already loaded
afp:state = "STOPPED"
afp:status = 0
sh-3.2# serveradmin status afp
afp:state = "STOPPED"
AFP takes an unusual amount of time to reports a "RUNNING" state and it can take several minutes to the client to get prompted with an authentication window.
I realized that, even if you try to connect to the server using the IP address, you need to have a working DNS service (that resolves the server hostname to the client) to get a near-instant response from the AFP server.
I don't really understand why, because after analyzing the network traffic, the client doesn't seem to query the DNS server to resolve the IP address of the AFP server...
From the sidebar, we can click on connect as and enter our credentials immediately, but we face the same waiting time before we can see the share points.

Restrict documents from being assigned to a BOM while status is not release

Hi,
I need certain documents to be restricted while they are still 'In preparation' status.
Currently eventhough the status is not released, user can assign a document to a BOM.
I am sure i am missing something. Let me know if anyone has done this. We are not using ECM at this stage.
Regards,
Edi

Hi,
You can do this via workaround of authorization matrix.
1. Create two users: Creator, Approver & Assigner
2. Creator will not have authorization to release the document as well as to assign the document to BOM. Authorization to release the document can be prevented by authorization object C_DRAW_STA. The authorization of object linkage is controlled by object C_DRAD_OBJ
3. Approver will have authorization to release the document.
4. finally assigner will have only document to access the change document when it is released and only then he/she will be able to assign the object linkage.
Or you can go for BASi/User exit at the time of save to control the same.
Thanks

User does not exist in client 900,

Hi All,
I am getting a user mapping error in my Fixpack1 setup and I have looked all over and cant see where I am going wrong.
The error I see in SRUTIL on my SCL is: User ess\domass does not exist in client 900
I have checked and completed the setup: /IWFND/WSS_SETUP and am sure my WS Security options are correct.
I configured the user mapping using SIMGH but had to update the entrys in SM30 but VUSREXTID looks to be set with the correct mapping of the problem account: SharePoint::ess\domass
I have checked in SE16 and table /IWFND/V_C_ISSUR has the correct Sharepoint config: SHAREPOINT_INT - SharePoint - CN=SharePoint Security Token Service, OU=SharePoint, O=Microsoft, C=US
The settings in LDAP are correct and I am connecting to my ADS OK.
I have checked the ISSUERH field in table USREXTID and that does have data inside it but when I delete that data as instructed from other SDN posts this does not make a difference to my connection.
Is there something else I can check?
Many Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
I haven't seen this error before. It almost sounds like the user mapping is by-passed all together.
There is one more place you should check. Go to SAML2 and verify the following:
Trusted provider tab --> Secure Token Service --> select SharePoint --> Identity Federation tab:
Here you should have one entry called 'Unspecified' and the setting for 'Details of NameID Format' should be set to 'Mapping in USEREXTID table'.
Cheers, Alex

User should not release the PR which is created by him

Hi
We didnu2019t use work flow functionality for PR Release. So same user can create PR and release the same PR in our system. Our requirement is user should not release the PR which is created by him. I would like to put this control in system.
How can I achieve this requirement?
Thanks
Jeny

Hi Ravi
Thanks for your reply. but they need to have authroization for PR release . bec they are eligble to release PR as per delegation of authroity. but they should not release their own PR . they can relase other's PR within their level.

LOGFF triger does not execute when clients terminated abnormally

Here is a triger for LOGOFF:
create or replace TRIGGER scott.before_logoff_trg
before LOGoff ON database
declare
If clients exit normally, it is executed( just delete some rows from a table). But if clients crashed, this triger will not be executed.
Is there any way I can execute some pl/sql code when a client log off normally or abnormally?

Antares wrote:
My application want to do this:
1. Client A can insert rows into a table, and client B can read them at the same time. So I think client A must commit his changes.
2. Later, client A can decide to keep or discard changes from the time he connected to Oracle. If he want to discard, all rows inserted should be deleted; If he want to keep, all rows should be inserted to another table. He must choose to keep or discard changes, so there should no rows for him in that table at last.
3. If client A crashed, the rows he inserted can not be deleted. There is no opportunity to do this.
PS: Many client can log in Oracle using same Oracle user name.
These inserted rows are "server side resource" owned by one client. It should be cleared when clients log off normally or abnormally.
I want something just like DBMS_LOCK. I think locks owned by one client could be released when the client log off normally or abnormally.What a very odd requirement. Why would you require a client "B" to be able to see what client "A" has inserted if client "A" is not yet ready to commit business-wise to that inserted data?
1. You're right client A would have to commit inserted rows for client B to see them.
2. Why is client A choosing to discard rows that he was already happy for client B to see? What if client B is acting upon those rows? That would suggest that client B can take action upon something that is not yet truly committed in the business process. This sounds like a serious flaw in the business process and hence the database design.
3. If client A crashes, how is anything supposed to know about that? Client A can't send a signal/message to say "I've crashed" and just because client A hasn't performed activity doesn't necessarily mean that it's crashed, so how does anything know client A has crashed? As previously mentioned, the database server doesn't call out to all clients to check they are alive, that's not the way client server architecture works. Server's don't talk out to clients.... it's clients that talk in to servers.
If there were any logical reason for trying to implement something as bizarre as the above, the closest thing you could have would probably be some sort of "keep alive" signal that client A sends periodically, whether that's through the client application automatically sending something to the database on a timer or whether it's an interactive thing with the user so that they have a countdown timer or something on the screen and have to perform some activity on the client to indicate that they are still alive. Then you'd have something running periodically on the database as a scheduled job, to check for any "clients" that haven't sent their "keep alive" signal in time and remove any data from the intermediate table related to that client. Of course there's a potential delay (determined by your implementation) between a client crashing (or user being inactive) and the associated data getting deleted, but that's the price you pay for implementing something so unusual.

Crystal Report Viewer Not Releasing Oracle Database Connections

I have a very simple vb.net 3.5 web application that uses the Crystal Report viewer 2008 to open a report. My requirements are as follows:
1. Reports are built by another company and provided to us and used in a web environment
2. All reports contain parameter fields
3. The web application must be generic enough that a report can be added to a list and the user simply selects the report and provides database login information. The Crystal report viewer with handle the request for parameter values and prompt the user for their values.
4. All reports connect to an Oracle 10g server.
The above requirements have been meet and we have an extremely simple web application that runs the reports. It is working very well other than the crystal report viewer is not releasing the database connections. This is bad because the credentials are on a per user basis and that same user must login to a different oracle application simultaneously. They are being denied access because the credentials are already in use. We do not have control nor influence over the policies in use on the Oracle server. Ideally we would like to control the Crystal Report viewer so that it closes connections after use.
The web application code is:
Private Sub viewReports_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
If Not IsPostBack Then
ConfigureCrystalReport()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReport()
'Load the Crystal Report viewer with a report.
Try
Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(Session("reportname"))
crViewer.ReportSource = reportPath
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(Server.MapPath(Session("reportname")) & "
" & ex.Message.ToString & "
" & ex.StackTrace.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Can anyone shed some light on this topic? Thank you

Hello, Timothy;
By default, having the report in session will hold it open for 20 minutes.
If you create the report as a ReportDocument object you can take it out of session and release it more efficiently. That will release the connection.
    Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
        If (Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") Is Nothing) Then
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = New ReportDocument()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Load(Server.MapPath("Hierarchical Grouping.rpt"))
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = hierarchicalGroupingReport
        Else
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = CType(Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport"), ReportDocument)
        End If
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = hierarchicalGroupingReport
    End Sub
In the Form Unload of the Viewer:
            'Take the report out of session
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = Nothing
            Session.Contents.Remove("hierarchicalGroupingReport")
            'Clean up the ReportDocument object
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Close
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Dispose()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = Nothing
            GC.Collect()

Sending an email from Lotus Notes release 5.0.4a

I need to write java code for sending an email from Lotus Notes release 5.0.4a.
Initially, I tried using Lotus Domino Toolkit for java, but the current release, "Lotus Domino ToolKit for Java/Corba release 5.0.8" is not compatible with the notes client/server we are using(5.0.4a).
Now, I am trying to use "Lotus Domino Toolkit 2.1" which supports notes version 5.0.3 and higher, but I couldnot find out how to use it to send email.
Is there are other way in which we can connect to Lotus Notes for sending email. I cannot use SMTP as the Lotus Notes administrator is afraid of security issues so there is no possibility that I can connect to Domino server using java mail API by enabling SMTP on the Domino server.
I would be thankful if somebody can help me to do this.

First off - This is very "off topic"
The Domino SMTP server is not hard to lock down. Any Notes Admin worth his/her salt should know how to do it. Try to persuade them to run the SMTP stuff using name and password authentication only, or restrict access to an IP address range. This is all easy stuff.
Otherwise DIIOP/CORBA is one way to go. If your toolkit jar files don't work with the server then try using the ones on the server. Look in %noteshome%\data\domino\java for the ncso.jar file.
This works for me on an AS/400 java VM to WinNT/Linux Domino servers of various versions.
How to create an email using this method is again not difficult. All you really need is a blank database template. You have to create a document with certain fields in it (all documented) and then save it. That's all there is to it.
Word of warning DIIOP is not very rapid and careless coding can create problems. Ensure that once you have finished a session you make sure you close it else you will have continual connection problems.
Try searching around the domino/notes groups on how to actually do this.

Function Module not released yet. Has anybody used them in their programs?

Hi
I am trying to use the barcode functionality during a goods movement 101 (using MIGO). As we donu2019t have any control of SAPu2019s barcode functionality thru configuration in MIGO I have developed a custom popup and I am calling this in a BADI implementation MB_MIGO_BADI. Once the user enters the barcode then I call Function module ARCHIV_BARCODE_GLOBAL to save the barcode to the standard tables.
This Function module is not released to the customers and it was last changed on 11/12/2004.
My question is should I be using this Function module in my BADI implementation even though it is not released (does not have a release date) ?. Has anyone of have used a unreleased Function module in your programs?.
Additionally I need this info
I am using ECC 5.0. If anyone of you is using ECC 6.0 or higher can you please check and let me know if this FM ARCHIV_BARCODE_GLOBAL is released or not or when was it last changed.
Please advice me at you earlist
Thanks of your time

Hi,
We are not using the above FM. But I can give some Info from ECC 6.0.
In ECC 6.0 the above FM is realeased for customers.

How can I allow a user (client) to choose a local image file (on his hard d

How can I allow a user (client) to choose a local image file (on his hard drive) and modify it using an applet from his browser ? I am trying to develop a web page that enables the user to choose an Image file, manipulate the image using a java applet, and display the results.
Using Java�s �JFileChooser� does not work when called from a browser, probably due to security privileges issues. On the other hand, I can choose and upload any file using a JavaScript form:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="process.asp">
<INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="file1"><BR>
�
It seems that I can choose an image file with a Java script form and process an image with an applet. How can I choose a file AND process it locally ?
(I do not wish to upload the file to the server using JavaScript form and then back to the client�s applet for processing since it will be a tremendous waste of resources).
Will appreciate any solution.
Thanks !
( my email is: [email protected] )

"Using Java�s �JFileChooser� does not work when called from a browser, probably due to security privileges issues. "
You can do this if you sign the applet...

OIM 11g using too much memory and not releasing it when shutting down

Hello,
we have a problem with OIM 11g using too much memory (about 5gb) and it's not releasing it at shutdown (4gb still used).
We are using a VM with RedHat Linux 5.6. Originally we had 4gb RAM + 2gb swap file. We installed Admin Server, OAM, OIM and SOA on that machine but quickly realised we couldn't run all 4 programs at once in 6gb. AdminServer could run with 2 other products, but it was a tight fit in memory.
So we increased the RAM to 8gb (still 2gb swap file). But then our problem occured : I start the Admin Server (2.7gb total memory used), then OAM (4.6gb total memory used) and then OIM. After it started the server is now using 9.6gb of memory (~300mb of free memory) ! The problem gets even better : after I shut down everything (OIM, OAM, admin server) the "top" command show that there is still 4gb of memory used even tho nothing else is running on the server ! There is absolutely no other process (other than root stuff) running and no other users connected to the machine. After a reboot, it shows 400mb of memory used. I tried restarting the programs and it did the same thing.
Our intuition is that there might be a memory leak or some bug in OIM that might use up almost all the free memory and it's not releasing it upon shutdown. It might have been there before we increased the memory but have not noticed it since memory was already tight.
Anyone encountered the same problem ? Any idea ? Any suggestion to narrow down the problem ?
Thank you

You can adjust the memory settings for WLS by editing the setSOADomainEnv.sh file that can be found in your /middleware/user_projects/domains/<domain>/bin/ folder. There is an argument called PORT_MEM_ARGS which is used to set your Java memory arguments. This way you can decrease/increase the amount of memory used by each managed server.
I usually type "ps -ef | grep oracle" to see what processes are running by the oracle user. This way the output doesn't get cluttered with root processes.
