ANN: Agile Infrastructure

The industry speaks positively about agile methods for software development
(http://www.agilealliance.org) but hasn't yet applied those principles to
the folks who do networking and infrastructure. It is overdue and I will
take the first shot at some things that can make them more agile:
1.. Keep network and infrastructure architecture to a minimum yet
sufficient
Develop organization-wide standards using an agile Enterprise Architecture
approach for each area of the infrastructure including the network, data
center, desktops, etc. Develop the future state of your enterprise
architecture by making sure that you have only one of a particular type. For
example, today you may have Windows NT and a 100Base T network, where
tomorrow you may be running PDAs on 802.11b.
2.. Maintain centralized control with decentralized operations
Centralized control allows one to control costs, architecture and
deployment standards. Decentralized operations simply mean that it does not
matter where your IT people are located. This works in remote locations and
outsourcing arrangements as well. Support personnel should always be placed
as close as possible to the end customer.
3.. Keep the mainframe holy and worship it daily
In the age of distributed computing, disciplines are more important than
ever. Some non-agile organizations have tried to migrate the mainframe
discipline to client/server and browser based paradigms and have failed
miserably. The disciplines found on the mainframe need to be customized and
streamlined. The vast majority of mainframers grew up with useful methods
for capacity planning, disaster recovery and had extensive change
management. Today we need these time proven practices more than ever without
of course the bureacracy.
4.. Measure everything as you cannot manage what you do not measure
In the days of the mainframe, they could measure everything related to
their infrastructure and could tell you their system availability and other
system qualities. Today, we do not collect these metrics under the guise
that we are too busy. If an organization, calculates their uptime and holds
people accountable the staff will figure out a way to run the systems more
efficiently.
5.. All production systems are equal in the eyes of architects
The vast majority of enterprises today have mainframes, pc's, servers,
pda's and so on and have taken non-agile approaches by organizing support
groups around them. An agile organization will refer to these groups as
simply "technical support" and make sure its staff is cross-trained on as
many platforms as each can handle. Separating support along technologies
results in inefficiencies, political problems, poor communications and piss
poor morale. Reorganize based on maximizing efficiency and utilization not
technology.
6.. Worship users and give them praise
The number one problem with failed projects is the lack of communication.
Being agile requires one to prefer human interaction over processes. If your
IT folks would rather string cable or play with VI then failure itself is
wired. In many shops the communications issue is even more systemic in that
they cannot adequately communication with their own peers. In the days of
the mainframe, it was obvious who did what to whom. In distributed
architectures, everything is spread across disparate tiers, technologies and
even locations. The team should use agile methods and process that instill
communication between IT and customers as well as amongst the various IT
silos. This should be incorporated as part of the job description for all IT
personnel.
7.. Spread joy to people in foreign lands
Many wise dinosaurs from the days when mainframes were king, sat in their
lofty ivory towers meditating on how the world should be. The only time they
would interact with common business folk is when the help desk would summon
them with an usual problem. In other words, being reactionary was status
quo.Todays economy requires IT to walk with the great unwashed and
communicate with their users. Simply, IT needs to shmooze, sell and stand on
their soapbox selling their wares. This is the first step in real
reengineering.
With this thought in mind, I have created a new Yahoo Group to discuss
agile methods in the networking and infrastructure discipline. Check out

Connecting hp 8508a vector voltmeter with agilent 82357a usb/gpib converter

Hello
For my experiment, I need to connect to a HP 8508A vector voltmeter by using an agilent 82357A usb/gpib converter. I have a serious problem about communicating with my device using NI-VISA. I tried to do the steps indicated at following links which were indicated at the forum posts by people using 82357A:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F7C187DBF09EBE1186256F550065BD32?OpenDocument,
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/3B3626D9C1F999218625694200791AD7?OpenDocument,
http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5990-3731EN.pdf?cmpid=1273CN.
The version of MAX is 4.3.0f0 and i am using labview 8.5 with NI-VISA 8.2. I am trying to configure my 82357A using agilent io libraries suite 14.1.
First, I tried to configure my usb/gpib controller using agilent connection expert and set the visa interface id to GPIB6 and connect to the 82357A without any problems. Then I connect this gpib converter to my vector voltmeter. The gpib adress of the voltmeter was 6(gpib address of the interface converter was 10) so visa address GPIB6::6::INSTR was assigned to voltmeter by connection expert. I tried to connect to the voltmeter from the connection expert by using the agilent interactive IO. Send *IDN? command and took the proper response from the voltmeter. The voltmeter went into remote mode and I tried to read the voltage values by using the FETCH? command of the device and got the voltage properly which means I successfully connected to the device.Then I went to MAX and enabled the NIVISATulip.dll and restarted the MAX. Then I went back to agilent connection expert and checked the box: "use agilent 488 library where possible" for side-by-side communication between the NI and agilent visa. By the way agilent visa was installed as the secondary library. Then when I went back to MAX, I start to see the voltmeter under miscellaneous VISA resources with the address GPIB6::6::INSTR. But the problem started here. When I tried to send commands from MAX to voltmeter with the "open visa test panel" I encountered an error which exactly says:"unable to open session to GPIB6::6::INSTR, return status code:0xBFFF009E, status name:VI_ERROR_LIBRARY_NFOUND, a code library required by VISA couldn't be located or loaded." As I said before i enabled the libraries of agilent 488 from the options of the agilent connection expert. When I went back to connection expert and unchecked the box for using agilent 488 libraries nothing changed. Also when I went to NI-VISA interactive control I couldn't see my device under the tab of VISA I/O.
I tried to read some posts from this forum. People are using this usb/gpib converter successfully without any problems by performing the steps I have done. I have some questions about possible subtle points specific to my application.
First question is according to the manual of the voltmeter(this is an old device by the way from 1988):"vector voltmeter is capable of remote operation via the HP-IB which is HP's implementation of IEEE standard 488.1 "So, what I understand from this sentence is my device is communicating remotely with IEEE standard 488.1 and not 488.2 Does it make any problem? What kind of modifications should I do to my setup for overcoming this if it creates any problems? As I said before I was communicating with device very properly from the agilent connection expert. In manual there is also a sentence like "HP-IB commands used in the vector voltmeter conform to the standards set by document IEEE 488.2 1987."
Second question is should I install newer versions of agilent io libraries suite or MAX or NI-VISA. I wrote the versions I am using before are they compatible? Where can I install newer versions? As I know the newest version of the agilent io libraries suite is 15.1 or 2. Is is compatible with 82357a?(maybe I should ask this question to agilent people)
Third question I don't remember how I did it but agilent visa is indicated as secondary visa resource in agilent connection expert(I think I did it while installing agilent io libraries suite.) . How can I switch between NI and agilent visa as primary visa resource? Do you think think this will help?
I terribly need measurements from this set up and really appreciate your help if possible.
Sincerely
Caglar Yavuz, University of Michigan,Ann Arbor,EECS department.

Caglar,
The documents you mention ahould include the proper prcedure for using this hardware in LabVIEW. Here are my recommendations:
The version of NI-VISA you mentioned is not valid. The most recent version is 4.6.2. I would recommend ugrading if you do not have this version. After the upgrade,ensure that tulip is enabled as well as the other settings and see if this helps.
When talking about the instrument, the biggest concern that usually is relevant with 488.1 is that it will not respond to *IDN?. In your case, it looks like it does, and should work as 488.2 is backwards compatible. It seems to me, the issue is still with the 82357A, and we have not yet reached the voltmeter.
In order for NI-VISA to work with your device, NI-VISA must be the primary visa driver.
Hope this helps, let us know how the upgrade turns out. If you continue to have issues, take some screenshots of the preferences in MAX and upload them on the forum.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
OASIS Enterprise Key Management Infrastructure (EKMI) TC
Name
OASIS Enterprise Key Management Infrastructure (EKMI) TC
Statement of Purpose
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology has been around for more than a
decade, and many companies have adopted it to solve specific problems in the
area of public-key cryptography. Public-key cryptography has been embedded in
some of the most popular tools -- web clients and servers, VPN clients and
servers, mail user agents, office productivity tools and many industry-specific
applications -- and underlies many mission-critical environments today.
Additionally, there are many commercial and open-source implementations of PKI
software products available in the market today. However, many companies across
the world have recognized that PKI by itself, is not a solution.
There is also the perception that most standards in PKI have already been
established by ISO and the PKIX (IETF), and most companies are in
operations-mode with their PKIs -- just using it, and adopting it to other
business uses within their organizations. Consequently, there is not much left
to architect and design in the PKI community.
Simultaneously, there is a new interest on the part of many companies in the
management of symmetric keys used for encrypting sensitive data in their
computing infrastructure. While symmetric keys have been traditionally managed
by applications doing their own encryption and decryption, there is no
architecture or protocol that provides for symmetric key management services
across applications, operating systems, databases, etc. While there are many
industry standards around protocols for the life-cycle management of asymmetric
(or public/private) keys -- PKCS10, PKCS7, CRMF, CMS, etc. -- however, there is
no standard that describes how applications may request similar life-cycle
services for symmetric keys, from a server and how public-key cryptography may
be used to provide such services.
Key management needs to be addressed by enterprises in its entirety -- for both
symmetric and asymmetric keys. While each type of technology will require
specific protocols, controls and management disciplines, there is sufficient
common ground in the discipline justifying the approach to look at
key-management as a whole, rather than in parts. Therefore, this TC will
address the following:
Scope
A) The TC will create use-case(s) that describe how and where
the protocols it intends to create, will be used;
B) The TC will define symmetric key management protocols,
including those for:
1. Requesting a new or existing symmetric key from a server;
2. Requesting policy information from a server related to caching of keys on the
client;
3. Sending a symmetric key to a requestor, based on a request;
4. Sending policy information to a requestor, based on a request;
5. Other protocol pairs as deemed necessary.
C) To ensure cross-implementation interoperability, the TC will create a test
suite (as described under 'Deliverables' below) that will allow different
implementations of this protocol to be certified against the OASIS standard
(when ratified);
D) The TC will provide guidance on how a symmetric key-management infrastructure
may be secured using asymmetric keys, using secure and generally accepted
practices;
E) Where appropriate, and in conjunction with other standards organizations that
focus on disciplines outside the purview of OASIS, the TC will provide input on
how such enterprise key-management infrastructures may be managed, operated and
audited;
F) The TC may conduct other activities that educate users about, and promote,
securing sensitive data with appropriate cryptography, and the use of proper
key-management techniques and disciplines to ensure appropriate protection of
the infrastructure.
List of Deliverables
1. XSchema Definitions (XSD) of the request and response protocols (by August
2007) 2. A Test Suite of conformance clauses and sample transmitted keys and
content that allows for clients and servers to be tested for conformance to the
defined protocol (by December 2007)
3. Documentation that explains the communication protocol (by August 2007)
4. Documentation that provides guidelines for how an EKMI may be built,
operated, secured and audited (by December 2007)
5. Resources that promote enterprise-level key-management: white papers,
seminars, samples, and information for developer and public use. (beginning
August 2007, continuing at least through 2008)
Anticipated Audiences:
Any company or organization that has a need for managing cryptographic keys
across applications, databases, operating systems and devices, yet desires
centralized policy-driven management of all cryptographic keys in the
enterprise. Retail, health-care, government, education, finance - every industry
has a need to protect the confidentiality of sensitive data. The TC's
deliverables will provide an industry standard for protecting sensitive
information across these, and other, industries.
Security services vendors and integrators should be able to fulfill their use
cases with the TC's key management methodologies.
Members of the OASIS PKI TC should be very interested in this new TC, since the
goals of this TC potentially may fulfill some of the goals in the charter of the
PKI TC.
Language:
English
IPR Policy:
Royalty Free on Limited Terms under the OASIS IPR Policy
Additional Non-normative information regarding the start-up of the TC:
a. Identification of similar or applicable work:
The proposers are unaware of any similar work being carried on in this exact
area. However, this TC intends to leverage the products of, and seek liaison
with, a number of other existing projects that may interoperate with or provide
functionality to the EKMI TC's planned outputs, including:
OASIS Web Services Security TC
OASIS Web Services Trust TC
W3C XMLSignature and XMLEncryption protocols and working group
OASIS Digital Signature Services TC
OASIS Public Key Infrastructure TC
OASIS XACML TC (and other methods for providing granular access-control
permissions that may be consumed or enforced by symmetic key management)
b. Anticipated contributions:

Comparaison convertisseur Ethernet/IEEE 488 Agilent et National Instrument

Bonjour,
Dans un de mes appareils j'integre un contrôleur NI NAT 7210 pour la communication IEEE488.
J'ai effectué des essais de communication avec des convertisseurs de la marque Agilent et NI et je rencontre les problèmes suivants :
- Avec convertisseur NI GPIB-ENET/1000 : ça fonctionne parfaitement à l’identique d’une carte PCI-GPIB,
- Avec convertisseur Agilent E5810A : ça fonctionne de façon aléatoire : les commandes passent de temps en temps.
La réponse d’agilent sur le sujet a été la suivante :
L’usine s’appuie sur le fait que nous avons écrit cette norme et la respectons totalement ; parallèlement, nous ne permettons aucune liberté dans l’utilisation de la communication en GPIB là où NI est plus souple.
Pourriez vous me donner votre avis sur les trames que j’ai enregistré à l’aide de ma carte PCI-GPIB+.
Merci d'avance.

AAM 6.2 All - Download Error (U44M1I216) updating Adobe CSXS Infrastructure CS6

I'm a CS6 Cloud subscriber running Win7 32-bit and have been having the general 'Download Error/Update Failed' issue with AAM since 12/15/2012. I spent a couple of hours on the Live Chat line with an Adobe support person during which I downloaded and used the Cleaner; downloaded and installed the AAM 6.2 All package but continued to have the same issue 'Download Error/Update Filed' since.
I believe that I made progress this morning after reading a post on the boards from a direct licensed user with a different AAM issue. I used the Help/Update function of one of my CS applications which brought up an instance of AAM which, unlike the 'normal' System Tray version of AAM, didn't immediately go to the 'Download Error/Update Failed' state. This instance of AAM presents both an About and Preferences buttons. I pressed the Preferences button and this next screen showed the list of my applications and had both a Cancel and OK buttons.
When I pressed the OK button, I got to another screen with the list of my applications and About, Preferences and Update buttons. In addition to the list of my applications, each application had both a checkbox and an list expose button. When I pressed the list expose button for each of my applications, I got a complete list of the updates - at the 'package/version level - that AAM 6.2 ALL was attempting to install on my machine in order to maintain all of my applications.
I used that list to go to the Updates page on Adobe to find each of the listed package/version combo's that were listed by AAM 6.2:
17-Feb-2013   5:56:04a          2,473   Adobe Audition CS6 5.0.2 02-17-2013.log.gz

17-Feb-2013   5:38:10a          2,135   Adobe Prelude CS6 1.0.3 02-17-2013.log.gz
I downloaded and installed each of those update packages, one by one, and wittled down the list of packages that AAM sensed as needing to be updated down to just the 'Adobe CSXS Infrastructure CS6' package - needed by both Photoshop and Prelude.
I used the CSXS Infrastructure CS6 install log file - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers - to confirm that the installation of the specific version that I had found was successful and it was:
02/17/13 07:01:30:198 | [INFO] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 4576 | Successfully installed 1 component:
02/17/13 07:01:30:198 | [INFO] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 4576 | - Adobe CSXS Infrastructure CS6_3.0.1_AdobeCSXSInfrastructure3-mul
I assume that there must be a later update to the Adobe CSXS Infrastructure CS6 package that isn't yet posted on the general Update site for direct down load. When I try to use the application specific instance of AAM to do the update of both Photoshop and Prelude with the version of CSXS that it senses is needed, I get the U44M1I216 error code in the AAM log.
Does anyone know if there is a later version of CSXS that is being called for? If so, do you have a link to where on the update site I can download it for direct update?
Thanks,
Frank

Command return code of 255 (65280) during Grid Infrastructure Installation

I am trying to create a 2-node RAC 11gR2. I am using OEL 5 Update 4. I am using NFS as shared storage. The time on both node is same. Both nodes have 4GB RAM each. Following is my IP settings from /etc/hosts on both nodes:
[oracle@vis ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.

App-V 5 Full Infrastructure Apps take long time to stream to the client

Hi was wondering if anyone has the same issue as i am or knows a fix for this, below is my problem and the troubleshooting i have done.
Overview of problem
App-V 5 apps delivered via App-V 5 full infrastructure take a long time to stream to the client and this means the user has to wait if they try and run an application before it has streamed to the client. Users sometimes have to
wait 2 or 3 minutes for an application to stream and this is about 40 times slower than basic SMB and HTTP transfer tests show the system is capable of (see performance results below).
App-V 4.6 apps delivered via App-V 4.6 full infrastructure and HTTP streaming are fine.
Overview of environment
App-V 5.0 SP1 Full Infrastructure.
App-V servers are running Server 2012 on Hyper-V 3 or ESX 5.1 with 2 x vCPU and 4GB RAM.
SQL servers are a SQL 2012 cluster.
Separate servers for SQL, management, publishing, content and reporting.
Management, Publishing and Content servers have two servers per role and NLB to provide load balancing. So 7 servers (2 x Man, 2 x Pub, 2 x Content, 1 x Reporting)
Two further sites with 2 x Pub and 2 x Content each. All publishing servers pointed at the load balance address for management.
Content delivered via HTTP
Clients are physical desktops and laptops running Windows 7 SP1 x86 and Windows 8 x86
App-V client is 5.0SP1
Clients are pointed at their nearest publishing server NLB via a script which looks up the client IP address and uses PowerShell to configure the publishing server
Content is streamed from the nearest content server NLB by setting the PackageSourceRoot to the nearest content NLB (via the same PowerShell script above).
App-V apps delivered per-user via AD group. One AD group per application. Approximately 200 App-V apps published so far - will eventually reach 400 as we sequence more. About 9000 users.
Analysis performed so far
Servers not heavily loaded. CPU averages 5%. Lots of RAM free. Very low disk IO. Problem also occurs out-of-hours so we are 99.9% certain that server resources are not a cause.
Streaming performance is the same from all 6 content servers and all 3 NLB addresses (tested by changing the value of PackageSourceRoot). Wireshark used to confirm packages are really streaming from the correct location, enforcing
our belief that the problem isn't at the server end (unless all 6 servers are affected).
Streaming via both HTTP and SMB2.1 is approximately the same (tested by changing the value of PackageSourceRoot between http://xxxx and \\server\AppVContent).
Wireshark used to confirm we really are using the protocol we think we are using.
All clients exhibit the same behaviour. Issue reported by many users. 5 test PCs chosen at random at all 3 sites confirmed to have the slow streaming problem.
Slow streaming from both Hyper-V and VMware ESX servers.
Client not heavily loaded.
Affects all App-V apps although it obviously affects the larger ones more.
All App-V apps have a Feature Block 1 setup.
If we copy the ".appv" file from the server to the client via either HTTP or SMB then it's reasonably quick (up to 480Mb/s). So we don't believe the network or servers are at fault. For example:
We can copy a 149MB .appv file via SMB from the content server to the client in 5 seconds.
We copy HTTP download the .appv file from the content server using IE on the client in 5 seconds.
But if you ask the App-V 5 client to fully download the sequence then it takes 2 - 3 minutes.
The App-V 4.6 client takes about 8 - 10 seconds to fully download a similar sized application.
App-V 5 publishing works fine - when a new user logs on they get their list of application straight away, it's just the streaming which is slow.
Once the App-V app has streamed locally it runs fine and with a decent performance.
Looking at a Wireshark trace of the streaming you can see that the slow performance is due to the transfer stopping and starting a lot. You only notice this when you zoom into the performance graph a fair bit.
Each time the HTTP server stops sending traffic, it doesn't start again until the client sends a "TCP Window update". Each "stop" is of a different length, but just taking a few from the middle I get 0.06s, 0.11s,
0.13s wasted etc.
I can see that it's the client stopping the transfer by reducing its advertised TCP Window Size. I'll provide an example:
Server sends 9 x 1514 bytes. Client responds with an ACK and a Window size of 54016 bytes (256x211)
Server sends 11 x 1514 bytes. Client responds with an ACK and a Window size of 37888 bytes (256x148)
Server sends 10 x 1514 bytes. Client responds with an ACK and a Window size of 23296 bytes (256x91)
Server sends 15 x 1514 bytes. Client responds with an ACK and a Window size of 1280 bytes (5 x 256)
Server stops sending (I'm guessing because the client advertised Window size was less than a single packet's worth of bytes)
<0.1 seconds passes>
Client sends a "TCP Window Update" re-advertising a TCP window size of 65536 (256x256).
Server starts transmitting again
So the way I see this is that the App-V 5 client is controlling the transfer speed by utilising TCP Window flow control. The trace was taken at the client end so there's no room for anything on the network to be fiddling with flow
control (and we've confirmed there are no traffic shapers in the loop).
We've also tried streaming directly from the local client by copying some App-V 5 apps down to the client, creating a SMB share on the client and changing PackageSourceRoot to \\localhost\AppVContent (i.e. so we are streaming directly
from the client to the client - to remove the network from the equation) and there is only an improvement of 5 to 10 seconds. So we know it's nothing to do with the network or the servers.
We've tried turning off TCP auto-tuning on the client with:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
and turning off TCP chimney offloading (which is off anyway because the NIC doesn't support it and Netstat -t output shows "InHost" for offload state for all connections) with:
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
and nothing has improved.
So we've now focussed on the extraction of the .appv (ZIP) file on the client.
Using Windows Explorer it takes 75 seconds to extract the ZIP file
Using 7ZIP it takes 9 seconds to extract the ZIP file
Yeah we've always known that the Explorer ZIP engine is terrible. That's why we use 7ZIP or WinRAR on our clients.
So we've started to wonder if the problem with the slow App-V 5 streaming is because the client is downloading the .appv file and extracting it as it goes along in a single thread. If the App-V 5 client is using the same terrible
ZIP engine that Explorer does then that would explain the slow performance. The "download" appears to take a long time because the client is using TCP flow control to slow the transfer since it's extracting the .appv file using a very slow ZIP engine
and it's all in a single thread.

Guys,
Just wanted to give you a brief update basically close this thread as Answered.
We had submitted 4 App-V 5 Bugs to Microsoft and these were reproducible and an explanation was given on work around to them. Microsoft
sent down a App-v developer to have a look at our problems. They said they will try and include the Bug fixes in SP2 which should be out in a few weeks or they will definitely be included in SP3.
In regards to the slow streaming it all came down to the Disk IO.
We found that you could simply enable "Turn off
Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device", then start streaming the app and then disable "Turn
off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" immediately after
(we don't want to leave it on) and that basically fixed the issue.
But a normal user would not have permissions to do
this, so a code was written to enable and disable this option.
Apology for not going in detail, like my opening thread, its very late.
but if you would like a detailed analysis please message me.
I would like to Thank the Talented Consultant who designed and implemented are App-V infrastructure who found the bugs and created all
the work around and who also emailed the detailed analysis of the problems to Microsoft that got them interested.
Simon Bond from Ultima Business Solutions.
Thank you

New Development - No Infrastructure!

We have moved into a new development and did have an engineer visit scheduled for yesterday to install our new line. The appointment was between 1-6pm, I called at 3pm and was told he was coming, I then call again at 5.15pm and was told the engineer wouldn't be coming. The reason was that additional work needed to be done at the exchange.
I then went with the building site manager and we inspected the BT ducting that surrounds my property. To my surprise there was absolutely no BT infrastructure at all in any of the ducts...no wonder the engineer couldn't install our line!
Today I have spent over 2 hours trying to speak to someone, 6 calls, 2 supervisors and got absolutely nowhere! All the call agents were hard to understand due to their very strong Indian accent. I've now had to open a complaint both over the phone and just now online.
I've believe that the 'New Building Site Development Team' needed to visit the site to install the core infrastructure. I've tried to make contact with them and failed, I've tried to escalate the issue and failed, I've tried to speak to someone senior enough to understand my problem....once again I've failed.
I'm literally lost for words at the customer service, not to mention angry for wasting a days holiday and even more upset that we will now have to spend over £400 a month on child care as we can't work from home.
If anyone can help me I'd be really grateful.

Just to clarify, this is not the builders responsibility.
The house itself has been cabled with the normal house points and cabling with a terminating "white" cable poking out the front of the house, all ready for the engineer to connect to. The onsite ducting and BT Manholes have all been installed, either by a contractor of Openreach or Bovis (if they are an approved installer). The only people who are allowed to install cabling within a BT duct is BT or a part of BT like Openreach, unless you seek Wayleave permission. I know this as I project manage 'dark fibre' installations across private estates.
Bovis themselves completed their work and gave BT permission to install infrastructure over 2 months ago. I confirmed this with both the site manager and Bovis headoffice.
After all my calls yesterday, I decided to phone BT Business as I know they are UK based, the person I spoke to was more useful and did give me the number for the 'New Estates Team' (0800 616866) - however when I called them I was told they can't deal with end users and I need to speak to my ISP...which is interesting as that's BT who I've so far spent 5 hours trying to communicate with.
I then tried to call Openreach but once again they won't speak to end users...
So the current position is;
1) I have no phone line
2) The estate has no BT infrastrucutre
3) I have complained via Twitter (36hrs response time) and the normal complaint channel (72hrs reponse time)
4) 5 Hours worth of calls (at a cost to me)
5) 1 days holiday taken for no reason
6) The additional cost of childcare (approx £150 a week)
7) Having to work in the office until midnight most evenings
8) I had to spend another 45mins talking to the accounts team, as they'd tried to take directdebit for the service!
The average time to actually get to speak to an 'agent' is 12mins, then 4-5mins to verify details, then 3mins for them to read the screen, then 3mins of them mumbling in an extrememly hard to hear accent. Eventually you explain the situation again, they pause, carry on with their script, you ask to speak to a supervisor...they also can't help.
There is without a doubt a problem in the process for getting a new estate setup, I really hope that somehow, via some method I manage to speak to someone who can help!

Communication problem with agilent 34401a

Hi all,
I' m using Labview 8.2 and visa 4.2.
I 've connected my agilent 34401a and it is recognized, I see it in agilent connection expert and manage to communicate with it. (query *IDN?)
But I get a problem when I want to use the control_mode vi. (remote or local).
the error is displayed just after the Visa Read function (Vi below)
I don't understand why. I use the RS 232 connection and it is correctly configured in the devices manager.
Anyone can help me ?
Thanks,
Romain

Sorry,
I've forgotten the Vi.
Now it's OK
Thanks

Rack mount kits doesn't fit the depth of Agilent rack

I have a PXI 1085 Chassis which I want to mount in an Agilent rack. I purchased the front and rear rack mount kits, the height and width are great, but the depth of my rack doesn’t allow me to use both the front and rear rack mount kits. Is there some kind of adapter I can buy which will extend the rear rack mount so that it can reach the back?

Hi Chall,
Unfortuantely we only offer the kits for a certain size range. If this does not fit your rack then you will have to create a custom rack mount.

How to create a directory for JSPs under infrastructure "root"?

Hi,
I'm not very familiar with Oracle 10gAS, but someone else got it configured and running on a Solaris 9 system, so my terminology may not be correct...
We now have an "infrastructure" website (at port 7777) and an "ias" website (at port 8000).
Right now, under the "infrastructure" website, we have the following applications:
- sso
- oiddas
These all are "under" an OC4J instance called "OC4J_SECURITY".
I need to somehow configure things so that I have a directory directly under the "root" of the "infrastructure" website (e.g., at http://<host>:7777/myjspdirectory) where I can run some JSPs. For example, I want to be able to put a JSP named "foo.jsp" and be able to access it at http://<host>:7777/myjspdirectory/foo.jsp.
Is there a SIMPLE way to do this? If there is, can someone provide the specific steps (e.g., which directories, and files I need to create/modify)?
It's not a "full" web application, so I don't want to have to create a WAR, etc.
So far, I think that I need to add some "MountOc4j" lines to the mod_oc4j.conf file:
Oc4jMount /myjspdirectory OC4J_SECURITY
Oc4jMount /myjspdirectory/* OC4J_SECURITY
But, after that I'm kind of lost :(...
Is the only way to create a full WAR and then try to deploy it?
Sorry if my question is somewhat confused, but I guess I am :(...
Thanks in advance,
Jim

qlin,
Ok, thanks.
I've been working on creating a WAR the last several hours. I don't have 10g AS here at home, so I've been testing the deployment of the WAR on Tomcat.
If the WAR deploys all right in something like Tomcat, will it deploy correctly in 10g AS also?
Are there any "gotchas" that I should be aware of ahead of deploying the WAR on 10g AS?
Also, I have a bunch of JSPs, but in the the web.xml that I'm using in my testing, it seems to work even though I don't list all of the JSPs. Here's what I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
<web-app>
     <servlet>
          <servlet-name>foo1</servlet-name>
          <jsp-file>foo1.jsp</jsp-file>
     </servlet>
     <display-name>WhatEverNameYouWantDisplayed</display-name>
     <description>replace this with a short description</description>
     <welcome-file-list>
          <welcome-file>foo.html</welcome-file>
     </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
Is that (only including one pair of <servlet-name> and <jsp-file> tags all right, or do I have to include a pair of tags for EACH JSP?
Other than the above, hopefully things will go all right tomorrow... I'm going to have to undo the edits that I did manually on mod_oc4j.conf (the Mount...) and in server.xml before I try the WAR deploy, I think, right?

Discoverer Plus associate with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure

Hi Everyone,
I just install the Oracle BI (v 10.1.2.0.2) into my 2003 server so I could use the Discoverer Plus and Viewer. This is a stand alone BI installation (I guess, I have little knowledge about Discoverer plus or Oracle AS).
My question is how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report.
and where to find the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure (or How do I know I have the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure?)
I read the Oracle BI Discoverer Configuration Guide, and it tell me to associate the Oracle BI with the Oracle Application Server Infrastructure to deploy the Discoverer. so I went to the BI Application Server Control page, the Infrastructure section, the Identity Management to configure the Internet Directory, so I could I have the public connection, but it didn't work.
Also do I real need the Oracle AS Infrastructure to make the Discoverer Plus work?
Thanks in advance

Hi Kevin,
Oracle AS Infrastructure is needed only if you are implementing SSO for Discoverer or using Public connection .
Else only Oracle AS Middle tier is sufficient to work with Discoverer Plus .
Regarding "how could I connect the Discoverer plus to my ODS database, so I could create report or view report"
You need to create the End User Layer (EUL) and then grant privilege to the EUL to users who will be creating the report .
Thanks,

Hi, I have just deploy Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 in a virtual appliance (Vmware Esxi 5.1). Console is ok & setup is also completed. but there is no NCS application. only app is shwoing: NCSPNP
Cannot access from https also.
Please suggest how to Starting Prime Infrastructure Serve

From what you describe, it sounds like you have installed the Plug and Play (PNP) ova image. You need to install the Prime Infrastructure image.
