Attaching Second Pool to Trusted Application for Cisco VCS

I have completed the Cisco VCS to Lync 2013 integration found here but needless to say, the guide
is very much lacking in clarity on the Lync end and doesn't take larger deployments into consideration; or I'm just missing something.
Most of the document thinks of Lync as a single pool entity but in my case, we have two pools on campus.  My question is as follows:
Can I use DNS to trick the Lync topology builder into thinking there is an alternate device that can be assigned to a trusted application?

Integration and communication between Lync 2013 and Cisco Voice Communication Server, in conjunction with Cisco Tandberg room units.  
I wasn't aware of the change taking place site wide and assumed that since the application lists and only accepts my Pool1 as a next hop that the static line between the two could only travel server to server (pool).
Video initiation works from Pool1 to Cisco and vice versa.  Video integration between Pool2 and Cisco will only initialize if started by the Cisco endpoint dialing said Lync client.  Presence information (provided by Jabber) works for users in
Lync Pool1 but not in Pool2.

  • Connection Pooling in Java Application for interacting with Websphere MQ

    - i/p address : 10.1.11.10

    - Queue Manager Name : qMngr
    - Queue Name (client will put the message) : toServerQ
    - Queue Name (client will get the message) : fromServerQ
    - I have developed the web application in Tomcat web server 5.5 using MQ base classes for accessing the Websphere MQ.
    - Since it is web application there can be atleast 25 request at time.
    i.e. when client#1 request data from queue he must get data related to client#1 only not other than client#1.

    How can I achieve this using base classes.
    2> While retrieving (getting) the message for particular request how can I identify the response message.
    i.e. when client#1 request data from queue he must get data related to client#1 only not other than client#1.      
    because In above scenario there are separate queues for getting the message and putting the message.
    I have read the tutorial on connection pulling but I am little confused.
    i.e. default connection pool and MQSimpleConnectionManager.

    Can you tell us whether the swing application that you are referring could be used by multiple client machines at the sametime ??
    If yes my advice for you would be a costly affair yet effective.
    Think of seperating your DAO layer from the swing client and you can make an attempt to make a centralized tier where DAO and business services are handled (also ensure that we you use connection pooling with a good tranaction support for building that tier).
    Think of publishing those as services either by using remoting tehnologies like RMI,Burlap, Hessian or as a Webservice.
    All you'd do is implementing respective client in the swing or client application which you are referring to..
    (if you things are too wierd and what is the best solution to go about the below url offers a good solution
    [http://tuscany.apache.org/]
    And in doing this you'd ensure there is not toomuch load on the Database and you'd have a centralized location where you can start tracing the problem.My guess would be that since the OP said that they have a server that they do in fact have a server.

  • IP application for Cisco IP Phones - Banner Ad Rotator

    Looking for an application to advertise on the Cisco IP Phones running Call Manager at a Hotel. Has anyone found anything or use a Banner Ad Rotator on the phones?

    While the CCM simulator works for really simple things, you'll often find the need to access information available only on a real call-manager so running a virtual machine with a real system is preferable.
    And once you have the app up and running on the IP Communicator (contact your Cisco ACM to get one), you need a physical phone to continue testing because there's a difference between the IP Communicator and physical phones and you need to make sure you have your app tested on the actual hardphone (preferably with the load that the customer uses though things have gotten a lot better in that area.. if the customer has a halfway up-to-date phone load then you should be fine).

  • C# attaching SQL Database table to application for publish.

    Alright i finished app but i realised because entire app work on SQL Database table with @"Data Source=localhost\SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=DataPodataka2;Integrated Security=True" connection string like this,it won't work on client computer?...Any
    suggestion?

    This is a credential issue or the database isn't allowing SQL connections.  I would first start and make sure you can connect to database using SQL Server Management Studio and perform a simply query of database to make sure everything is working properly. 
    You can check also to make sure the SQL Service is running.  Then repeat with VS application to make sure that starting SSMS didn't fix the issue.Using Integrated Security = True indicates that you are using a Windows Credential for the database. 
    So you have to make sure that the SQL Database is also setup to use windows Credentials and the login account your are using for VS application is part of the SQL Server Group Account for windows authentication.

  • Why do we need the "Trusted Application" in 11.1.2.1?

    Hello,
    We're upgrading from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1. In the process of testing I've discovered that for our CORPLOAD group users cannot see the HFM reports in 11.1.2.1 unless we add the "trusted application" role.
    This is not the case in our current production (9.3.1). Does anyone have any idea why?
    Regards
    Dave
    FYI the roles assigned to Reporting and Analysis are:
    - analyst
    - data source publisher
    - personal page publisher
    -provisioning manager (this is new as well).
    - report designer
    - trusted application
    For reference the help says that trusted application means, but I don't understand what it means:
    "Enables credentialed client-server communication of Interactive Reporting database connection files (.oce extension) that encapsulate connectivity, database type, network address, and database user name information"

    Hi
    I tried to replace with other working environment but we have only one 11.1.2.2 environment where as all the other servers are on 11.1.2.1 ( where I cannot find the adf folder itself).
    The only option that left out would be to modify this xml. Have taken the backup, can you please tell me if this is the port defined ?
    In planning,the xml file looks like below,
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>

    ignore my last post.. I didn't properly read the source code.
    Anyway, I got g.711 streaming to work. I started out using the AVTransmit2 sample, but set the audio output format to what is used in the source code posted here. I've also applied the same codec chain described above, and that was it.
    I could never get streaming to work using the first RTP streaming method described in the JMF Programmers guide (and this is the method used in the source posted above), but using the RTPManager, things work just fine.

  • Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
    I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
    For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
    Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
    I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
    I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
    I created an Automator action that does two things:
    gets the selected Finder items
    opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
    I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
    I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
    So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

    Help! I'm unable to open a received attachment. it is a docx file. My computer tells me that there isn't a default application to open this file. Can anyone give me a step by step to set up a default???

    Welcome to the forums!
    The default application for that file is Microsoft Word 2008.
    Mac users using Word 2004 who receive a Word 2008 for Mac, (or Word 2007 for Windows) document, will not be albe to read this without having the Open XML Converter installed, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
    Go to this page:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
    and click on the right under Most Popular, 'Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0'
    This opens a window at the bottom of the page. Scroll that to the bottom and click on English.dmg, and it will download for you as a disk image, which can be installed in the usual way.
    After installation you can open and read .xml formatted Word 2008 documents in Word 2004.

    Hi,
    I’m trying to use the Cisco webdialer Servlet to make a central application for making phone call’s. When I’m using an normal enduser, I’m able to make a call without any problems. When the end user is configured with multiple Controlled Devices, I can select one of the phones and make a call.
    Because I’m making a central application, I don't like to use an normal enduser (ldap). Therefore I tried to use an ‘application user’. I configured the controlled devices (same phones as the with the normal enduser)and gave the application user permission for the standard CCM end user.
    I checked everything, but I’m not able to get any information about the controlled phones. When I use the normal WebDialer http page, the authentication works fine, but I don’t see the any (controlled) phones.
    Does anyone know if its possible to use an application user in the WebDialer?
    Regards,
    Theo

    There are two different database tables - applicationuserdevicemap and enduserdevicemap.  Those tables store the association relationship between users and devices.
    I guess Web Dialer only looks into enduserdevicemap table.

  • Advice and Internet Software Applications for iBook G3?

    Ok, So I did it late last night, or technically early this morning... I went and bought a Refurbished MacBook - Black 2.0GHz Core Duo with 512mb RAM (in 2x265 sticks which I am replacing with 2x1gb sticks purchased from TigerDirect at the same time) 80gb HDD, Superdrive, Built-in iSight, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and Airport Extreme. Basically the same as the new ones that they are selling except it is only a Core Duo and not Core2 Duo... Will get my AppleCare from LA Company (thanks Ronda for the link, they have great prices) in a month or 2 after testing out the MacBook and making sure I won't need to send it back...
    Anyways, this post is not supposed to be about the bragging of the new laptop (due to arrive Tue or Wed, heh), but about finding some good mac software (hopefully freeware or shareware) to use for internet stuff on my old iBook G3, which I am giving to my roommate to use (he will use his desktop for most of his heavy speed/memory/graphics needs and the ibook as an extra mobile internet tool). Basically, he used to use a mac when he was married (an old power pc with OS9 on it) but once he moved out and got the big D, has used windows XP since then, and has never seen OSX at all I don't think, so he definitely hasn't used it before.
    He mainly likes to browse web sites and use IRC (he uses mIRC) and watches the free streaming videos from sites like Yahoo... He seemed unsure whether he would find use of it (the ibook), but I am thinking it's because he doesn't know how much better it can be with OSX (10.2.8) than OS9...
    So I am asking for help in a way to show some nice simple ways he could work it into his routine (while still using the desktop pc) and have it not be a hassle to "learn" and find programs he wants to use (in comparison to ones he has for windows). Again, this will be for lighter applications because of the 500 MHz speed (has 576mb RAM).
    He (unlike me) does not use Mozilla Firefox and therefore does not use its extentions and themes and other add-ons, but sticks to IE7 (which is crazy), but I think it is more out of laziness to try something new and to have to go and add on the extentions (compared to if they are built-in to the browser). So since I never had much experience using the different web browsers for mac, which ones would be most like IE, I know Firefox is available for macs, are there any that are simple basic, but could have things added on to it or customized more (yes, I know I am describing Firefox)?
    Also, if wanting to use an application for music, but you wanted it to be smaller than the size of iTunes (and not need as much memory while running it), is there one you would say to go for? Any good mac IRC programs (not messenger things but specific to the IRC protocol)? Ones that have additional scripts you can run for them (he is really into that, he uses Excursion 9.5 alot too)?
    I do not want to throw the iBook at him and say here, use it, and walk away, and I also don't want to go and show him every little thing that it does, but want to just find some programs that he might actually use on it right away, and ease himself into using the ibook on a regular basis (I would install everthing for him, and set up all the system preferences and if he actually keeps on using the ibook, I will give him little "lessons" on how to change things, install stuff etc). I threw myself into my ibook as that is what I tend to do with anything electronic and tech like (I am the biggest tech geek around), but I know that alot of others can't do the same and need to slowly learn how to swim in the mac pool, with those floaty arm band things and floating kickboards and all...
    Any advise on how to do this for someone that I know would end up loving the ibook and OSX for more basic stuff, but just needs that gentle nudge in the right direction and the right kind of software to make him feel comfortable using it, would be greatly appreciated.
    And yes, if he doesn't want to use it after that nudge, I will back off and take it back to sell (or just have a 3rd laptop hanging around, but then I will feel like the old lady with an apartment full of laptops -and other lonely tech gear).

    Some people use VLC for watching video, but, in my experience, you are not going to get good streaming video on a 500 MHz iBook.
    Shut down all other applications and maybe even restart the iBook before trying to watch YouTube or whatever. I've not had much success with it. (You are talking about a 5½-year-old computer, after all.)
    I don't even know what IRC is. It sounds like it's a chat client? If so, iChat works great for me. It uses the AIM protocol.
    I would stick with Apple applications. I prefer Safari as my web browser, but Firefox would probably be my second choice. Camino is good. Other browsers out there are iCab, Opera, and OmniWeb, and I may be forgetting some of them. Safari is the one that comes with OS X, and it's my pick over all the others. Once he gets used to tabbed browsing, he will wonder what he ever saw in Explorer (and I was a die-hard Internet Explorer fan, too).
    I know of no better music app for a Mac than iTunes. Just so simple.

  • Internet security applications for XP - which one?

    I'm about to do boot camp and add XP. Once I've turn the machine into a windows PC I'll need to have some anti-virus, firewall and all that. Don't trust XP's own offering.
    Which is the most compatible internet security application when using Boot Camp and/or VMware Fusion? Has anyone got an 'avoid this' recommendation?
    Thanks for any ideas.

    For 10 yrs I've said, "avoid Norton" but I have to admit that Norton Internet Security 2008 really is good, a complete ground-up rewrite and works very well and I'm not even aware it is there unless I want to. Working.
    AVG Suite was annoying, in your face, and why I had to find a replacement. It just bogs system down and always asking or telling you and wants to put a notification up (which goes away after 30 seconds).

    Disable the e-mail scanning function during installation (Custom
    Installation on some AV apps.) as it provides no additional protection.

    Some experts believe that scanning incoming and outgoing mail causes e-mail file corruption.

    A-S applications - for non-viral malware.
    The effectiveness of an individual A-S scanners can be wide-ranging and
    oftentimes a collection of scanners is best. There isn't one software that
    cleans and immunizes you against everything. That's why you need multiple
    products to do the job i.e. overlap their coverage - one may catch what
    another may miss, (grab'em all).

    "...Windows Defender did excel in behavior-based protection, which detects
    changes to key areas of the system without having to know anything about
    the actual threat."
    A clarification on the terminology: the word "malware" is short for
    "malicious software." Most Anti-Virus applications detect many types of
    malware such as viruses, worms, trojans, etc.
    What AV applications usually don't detect is "non-viral" malware, and the
    term "non-viral malware" is normally used to refer to things like spyware
    and adware.
