Always Connected Client

Hi Experts,
I am getting started with the Netweaver Mobile - always connected
is there any client to install on my PDA .... isn't it the same as occasionally connected or it is different??
please clear it to me

Hi Ahmed,
Occasionally connected clients and Always connected clients are different. 
Always connected clients enables the users to directly access the business application online using mobile devices such as pocket PCs and Blackberry wireless handhelds.
You can refer the below link to get more details on always connected clients.

  • In 2 Node RAC clients always connect to Node 2...

    Dear all,
    I have installed RAC 10gR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux Version 4 Update 5. ASM as storage option on iscsi shared storage.
    In Enterprise Manager I can see 2 instance are UP! i can connect to oracle from any one of the node. All services are running fine on both nodes.
    But when i connect to RAC database from any client machine it always connect to the second node where database instance BSS2 is running and never connects to BSS1.
    I use this query to check which instance:
    SELECT
    instance_name
    , host_name
    , NULL AS failover_type
    , NULL AS failover_method
    , NULL AS failed_over
    FROM v$instance
    UNION
    SELECT
    NULL
    , NULL
    , failove_type
    , failover_method
    , failed_over
    FROM v$session
    WHERE username = 'SYSTEM';
    My tnsnames.ora contains the following entry:
    ORA_DEVP, ora_devp.world =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.63)(PORT = 1521))

    (METHOD = BASIC)
    (RETRIES = 180)
    (DELAY = 5)
    I dont know why id do not connect to Node 1. RAC is running but the very basic feature is missing in my configuration. Kindly help.
    Regards, Imran

    Well, looking at this query more connections are on node 2 while very few are on node 1. Maybe this is because of instance load balancing BUT clinets are connecting to both nodes.
    Thanks Jonathan.
    Another thing is that i can not establish Transfer Application Failover (TAF) between the node, like if i am connected to node 2 from a client machine and when i stop instance running on node 2 and again try to run query from client it lost connection. Infact it should have transfered to node 1 instance.
    Following is the entry on my tnsnames.ora file on both node (same on both nodes)

  • Solution Always Connected with BlackBerry (by browser)

    Hi, i've got a client that want an always connected solution and Blackberry mobile.
    Iu2019ve read some information and Iu2019ve some doubts:
          - Can be implemented with SAP PI (web services) and web dynpros?
          - Do I need a Blackberry Enterprise Server in an always connected solution? Do I need Sap NW MI or only a java instance?
          - If is an always connected solution, can you send me an example of an architecture with BlackBerry?
          - Can I program, with this solution, an initial screen where the user log in and then access to his allowed transactions?
          - Can be also implemented on the ERP java instance and publish on PI as web services?
    Thanks and Regards

    waiting for the reply , thanks in advance,
    Sorry to respond that your post is vague.
    Did you do a reset to factory?  It takes a day or a few days for a BB10 device to finish sync'ing and indexing and so forth after a wipe or an OS reinstall or upgrade.   If performance is subpar, give it another day to see if it improves.
    On the last, I may not understand.  I believe you are saying you are connecting to the device with Link and the computer mounts  the microSD card as a drive but not the device's onboard memory.  Do you have mass storage mode enabled?   If so, disable mass storage mode and try again.

  • Cannot open dashboard from connected client to restore a single file

    I have a small business network with an existing Server 2008 R2 domain controller.  In order to backup all the client machines with an experience something like windows home server I recently purchased a new server with windows server 2012 r2 and
    installed the essentials role.
    I'm able to connect client machines (running windows 7) to the new server and get them to backup.  I assume (but have not yet tested) that I would be able to do a full image restore by creating a client restore bootable usb key and booting a client from
    that, but first I'd like to be able to browse the files in a client backup and restore a single file rather than the full image.  It seems that the only way to do that is to run the dashboard as a remoteapp from the client, but when I try that I get this
    error:
    I thought that I might need to add the remote desktop services role.  So I tried doing that and publishing the dashboard as a remoteapp, but the error still appears.  Even if that fixed the problem, though, I would be concerned that would mean we
    needed RDS CALs for each client which seems like overkill just for the ability to restore a single file from a backup.
    So, is there any other way to get to the dashboard or otherwise restore files onto a client?  
    Thanks.

  • Remote Desktop Connection Client 9.3.9600 unable to connect to Server 2012 RDS via Gateway

    Hi,
    I have a Windows Sever 2012 R2 RDS environment with two Gateways servers configured in high availability mode (RD Web Access, RD Gateway, RD Connection Broker roles installed) and four Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS Session Hosts. The servers are all running
    the most recent public server updates. With this configuration I when connecting externally using a Windows 7 computer with the older Remote Desktop Connection client (6.1.7601) I am able to connect without any problems however when I try connecting with a
    newer client from a computer running Windows 8.1 and the 9.3.9600 client I am unable to connect. 
    At the moment a NAT rule is configured to pass 80/443 traffic to only one of the RDS gateway servers, I've removed our load balancer from the configuration for the moment to reduce the complexity. 
    No error is generated by the client when it tries to connect it just stops trying to connect after a while.
    On the Gateways servers event logs for 
    Things I have looked into so far.
    - I've double and triple checked the RDS configuration and checked it against one of my other clients configurations that is working and they are identical. 
    - Connecting from an older client version works fine.
    I'm not sure what else can be checked does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    1. What entries are you seeing in the RD Gateway's log?  Event Viewer\ Applications and Services Logs\ Microsoft\ Windows\ TerminalServices-Gateway
    2. How come you are not forwarding UDP port 3391 in addition to TCP port 443?  It should work without UDP, but you will not have UDP support which is one of the benefits of RDP 8.0/8.1.
    3. Are there any non-default group policy settings being applied to the servers and/or client PCs?  To be clear, I'm asking if any changes have been made to the default local and domain security policies, group policy objects, new GPOs that may have
    been added, etc., that are applicable to the servers and or client PCs.

  • How to get the information like IP address,Host name of connected clients v

    Hi Every one,
    I want to get the information like (IP Address,Hostname,Active sessions , Database Server….etc) of the connected clients
    via V$Views(ORACLE).
    And then I like to load these infromation into a table “Client_Table”.
    Could some one give me suggestion that which V$ views/method I use in order to get the above information and then
    how to load these information into a table “Client_table”?
    Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

  • How to Install VPN and how to connect client Application server

    Hi All,
    Could any one tell me. How to connect Client's Application server and How to Install VPN. Thanks in advance.......
    Thanks  & regards
    Vardhan

    where r u working?
    ask your help desk to give the URL link to down load vpn
    after downloading install it, its just like a wizard
    you need to give your userid and password , and secureid number
    secureid is a small device which displays a number(say a 6 digit number ) this number is keeps on changing for every one minitue.
    you need to enter the number which is displaing while you are trying to connect to vpn.
    in the middle of connecting to vpn if your secureid number changed , you need to login once again by the same procedure

  • My simple chat server does not send messages to connected clients

    Hi!
    I´m developing a chat server. But I can not get it work. My client seems to make a connection to it, but my server does not send the welcome message it is supposed to send when a client connects. Why not?
    removedEdited by: Roxxor on Nov 24, 2008 10:36 AM

    Ok, I solved my previous problem and now I have got a new really annoying one.
    This is a broadcasting server which meand it can handle multiple clients and when one client sends a message to the server, the server should broadcast the message to all connected clients. It almost works, except that the server just sends the message back to the last connected client. The last connected client seems to steal the PrintStream() from the other clients. How can I solve that?

  • Always connect to Airport Extreme

    I've got the following setup:
    - One Airport Extreme in my living room connected to the internet
    - One Airport Express next to it for Airtunes (set to join the Airport Extreme's network)
    - One Airport Express in my study (set to extend the Airport Extreme's network)
    When I'm in my bedroom (on the far end of my house), my iPhone can barely connect to the Extreme. So that's why I bought another express to extend the network. This works great.
    But now my iMac (located in my study) is always connecting to this Airport Express. Probably because it is right besides it. The internet speeds are about 10mbps when my iMac is connected through the Express, and 40-45mbps when it is connecting to the Extreme. So the connection to the Airport itself may be better, but the actual internet connection is a lot worse!
    Is there any way to force my iMac to connect the the Airport Extreme? Or maybe someone has another solution?

    Thank you Bob! I've tried this and it seemed to be working.
    Still, my iMac should be able to do this automatically. But apperently it just looks for the closest Airport, while it should be looking for the fastest connection to the base station.
    My iMac can choose between the following connections:
    - Airport Express: Which reaches a max download speeds of 10mbps
    - AEBS: 2.4 ghz: Which reaches a max download speeds of 40mbps
    - AEBS 5ghz: Which reaches a max download speeds of 50mbps
    And it chooses the absolute worst. Even when I disconnect the Airport Express, it refuses to connect to the 5GHZ connection and goes with the slower 2.4GHZ.

  • Backing up an external HD that's not always connected?

    I just bought a Time Capsule to backup my MacBook and an external HD. I've set up Time Machine to backup the MacBook and external HD. But the external HD isn't always connected to my MacBook. When Time Machine runs its hourly backups, if at that moment the external HD is not connected, it backs up just the contents of my MacBook.
    I've just started this process, rather than learn by trial and error I'm hoping some of you have already done something similar and can share your experience. I have a couple of concerns:
    1) If Time Machine backs up my MacBook (MB) and external hard drive (EHD) and then, on a second run, with the EHD disconnected, backs up only the MB, the next time a backup runs while the EHD is connected, will it have to start all over again copying all of the contents of the EHD? Or can it recognize the EHD content which is unchanged from the last time it did a backup with the EHD connected?
    2) When Time Machine runs out of space and starts deleting old backups, is there a risk that this way I could lose a backup copy of the EHD? For example suppose Time Machine backs up my MB and EHD. Then say for a couple of weeks I don't connect the EHD and meanwhile TM keeps doing backups and runs out of space. When it throws out the oldest backups, if none of the more recent ones contain data from my EHD, do I thereby lose that backup data?
    Apologies in advance if this question has already been answered elsewhere. I've tried searching for answers but all my searches on "time machine external hard drive" just turn up results about using TM to back up to an external HD or else talk about what format a drive needs to be in order to get backed up via TM.
    p.s. I use the EHD to store, among other things, my iTunes library. So in practice I rarely go more than a day of using the MacBook without turning on the EHD. Still, I'd like to understand how TM manages backing up of drives that aren't always available.
    Thanks,

    it's supposed to be smart and recognize the old backups and not redo the entire backup of the EHD in such situation. but sometimes TM does not do that for whatever reasons (=bugs). hopefully it won't affect you.

    yes, in that scenario you will loose all backups of the EHD. that's why you need to make sure that your TM drive is big enough and has plenty of space to store incremental backups so that this is unlikely to happen. and back up the external regularly.

  • Document Connection Client - Error 234882975

    Hi, I have been using the MSFT Document Connection client (version 14.3.9) on Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 to access files stored on SharePoint (on an Office 365 subscription) for several years. 
    Yesterday I had an internet outage while trying to access files via DC on SharePoint. Since then, when trying to connect to
    a particular directory, I get Error 234882975. The error occurs ONLY when trying to access the directory that I
    was uploading files to when the internet outage occurred. All other directories work just fine from the DC client. Restarting, rebooting have not effect. I fear I will never again be able to access that directory. And the directory itself on SharePoint is
    just fine; I've had to resort to using a Windows machine to get to it. Can access it from Windows with no issues.
    Does anyone know a solution to this? Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not access a particular library using the Mac OS.
    To narrow down the issue, you can use your account in other Mac OS to check whether it works.
    You can also use the other browsers to check whether the issue is related to the browsers.
    If it works, you can clear the your browser cache, then check whether it works.
    What’s more, you can back up the library then restore the library or save your library as a template, then create a new library using the template to check whether you can access it.
    As this is the forum for the SharePoint server, I recommend you can post your question to the forum for SharePoint Online:
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/154.aspx.
    More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to SharePoint Online.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • HT4199 My iphone has always connected automatically without problem to the wifi network at work, i.e.BTBusinessHub, and at home, i.e.Bthomehub. Now it tries to connect at work but doesnt manage it although it still works at home. Can anyone advise why?

    My iphone has always connected automatically and without problem to the wifi at work i.e. BTBusinesshub and at home BTHomehub but yesterday it would not connect at work. It is ok at home but again today at work it is not connecting. It appears to try but is not connecting, please help.

    You can try doing a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up - then check wifi - if that doesn't work then
    do a network reset note:  you will have to reenter wifi password again when your in range.
    settings - general - reset - reset network settings.  If that doesn't work then I would talk to your IT dept.
