Auto maintenance?

Is there some more info I could read about this mystery?
Ive heard you need to let your mac on for a night and osx will do maintenance by itself. Pretty cool but what does it do exactly? And how can I monitor this process?
thx

Auto maintenance of user cost center authorizations

Greetings All,
In NetWeaver 2004s we recently added cost center expense/commitment reporting in BI. Now we want to automatically maintain user authorizations to determine which cost centers people have access to. Can you please point me in the right direction? Many thanks!
Regards,
Den

If you have some data set from where you can evalulate which values to assign to which user, you can do it using 'Generation of Analysis Authorization' Concept.:

Automatic Maintenance Mode SCOM 2012

What I'm trying to do is get an alert based on a shutdown event to trigger a script that then puts the server into maintenance mode. I've seen a few solutions to this for 2007, but this is the only one I've seen for 2012.
https://overcast.azurewebsites.net/2013/11/auto-maintenance-mode-with-scom-2012/
Basically, an alert is set up to watch for the shutdown event, which then uses a command channel to execute the script. The main significant part of that is the use of the ManagedEntityDisplayName parameter in the command channel to pass the server
name to the script. If I run the script from a command prompt and pass the FQDN of the server to it as a parameter, it works like a charm. But when I use SCOM to run it through the command channel, the server never gets put into
mm. For troubleshooting, I had it write a couple things to a log file.
When I run it from the command prompt, the log file contains the hostname I'm passing it for the ManagedEntity parameter in line 4, and the Instance that is returned from line 6 and it all works.
When I run it with the command channel in SCOM, it again writes out the ManagedEntity parameter as the hostname, so that part seems to work the same. But the Instance is returned to the log file as an empty line and then of course the server doesn't
go into MM. So it seems like something is different between me passing the FQDN as a parameter from the command line, and the command channel passing the ManagedEntity parameter from SCOM. Even though they both get written to the log file as the
hostname of the server. Any idea what I'm missing?
Param($ManagedEntityDisplayName)
$startTime = [DateTime]::Now
$endTime = $startTime.AddMinutes(15)
"Managed Entity is $managedentitydisplayname" |out-file log.txt
import-module OperationsManager
$Instance = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Name $ManagedEntityDisplayName
"Instance is $Instance" | Out-File log.txt -Append
Start-SCOMMaintenanceMode -Instance $Instance -EndTime $endTime

Hi
What version of Power shell are you using on your management server? The I suspect the issue might be that when you run it doesn't actually load "import-module
OperationsManager" when scom runs it. So when you execute any scom command and save it into a variable it will always be empty.
To test if this is the issue run this
Param($ManagedEntityDisplayName)
$startTime = [DateTime]::Now
$endTime = $startTime.AddMinutes(15)
"Managed Entity is $managedentitydisplayname" |out-file log.txt
import-module OperationsManager
$SCOMConnection = Get-SCOMManagementGroupConnection
"Connection is $SCOMConnection" | Out-File log.txt -Append
$SCOMAgent = Get-SCOMAgent -name $ManagedEntityDisplayName
"SCOMAgent is $SCOMAgent" | Out-File log.txt -Append
If you don't get anything for these variables looks like the Import module is the issue.
I suggest the following:
Adding the full file path location to the module (might just not be registered correctly)
see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd878350(v=vs.85).aspx
If the above doesn't fix the issue re installing the console might be needed
see: http://thoughtsonopsmgr.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/om12-sp1-operations-manager-shell-fails.html
What version of Power shell are you also running on your Management server/s? If you are running v4 you might also need to include credentials when making a connection to the management server:
see: http://blogs.technet.com/b/robcost/archive/2008/05/01/powershell-tip-storing-and-using-password-credentials.aspx
So your after you import the Operations manager module you need
New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection -ComputerName "localhost" -Credential (Get-Credential WOODGROVE\Administrator)
see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh920188(v=sc.20).aspx
Also how many management servers do you have? If you have more that 1 don't forget to place a copy of the script in the same location on each MS.
Thanks Martin

Slow mac mini

Mac Mini G4, 1.33 GHz 512 MB OS 10.4.11
Has suddenly begun slowing down when I have been loading web
pages. This occurred a day or two after I installed Apple's Sept. 15
Security Upgrade.
Also, I found a drop-down message in my network
preferences that said "Your network settings have
been changed by another application." This drop-down would not go
away, preventing me from accessing any of my system preferences, a
problem noted by many others in the discussions here. Based on
advice found in the discussions here, I managed to delete the drop-down message after much hair-pulling, but I am now left with a computer that has slowed
by about 20 percent.
I have had a tech do cleaning,repairing, and troubleshooting with no appreciable improvement inweb-loading speeds. Do you have an answer for me? Are there others experiencing this slowdown after the Sept. 15 Security Upgrade?
Would uninstalling my Sept. 15 upgrade bring my system back to is
earlier speeds? Help!

Hi, Andy-
I will do my best to answer your questions. Thanks for you help.
Thanks for getting back to me.
The primary web page loading issue is: when I attempt to launch a page, it consistently pauses from 10-20 seconds or longer before a 3/4 partial page snaps up on the screen, then takes more time (often 15 seconds or more) to fully load. This did not occur before the Sept. 15 security update; I could navigate smoothly from web page to web page.
A tech cleaned my caches, reset Safari, ran MacHelp mate, checked preferences and permissions for corruption via Utility, ran auto-maintenance scripts and went to Activity Monitor to see if any
applications were putting an unusual CPU or memory load on the system during startups (none appeared to be, Safari's maximum load around 40-60 CPUs as it initially struggled to load a page).
The Mac Mini is less than three years old, and I don't run games or other memory-draining applications.
I hope this helps you help me.

SpamAssassin's AWL database growing and growing

I know that this is a known problem, but maybe someone has found a solution in the meantime that did not came to my attention:
I'm using the auto whitelist feature of SpamAssassin. Unfortunately I'm forced to erase the entire database from time to time, since there seems to be no auto maintenance - it grows and grows (reaches quickly 20 MB+).
Is there a way to search the AWL list for e-mail addresses used only one or two times and remove exactly these ?

Memory problem in Safari and IE

On some Internet pages (e.g. http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/M8_2/t007.html), Safari displays only partial images stretched to fill space allotted. On same pages, Internet Explorer displays only a portion of each image and reports that it can't display the image due to low system memory.
Trying to download an image in IE results the same small top part plus colored areas below.
I have 1 GB RAM; my free disk space is 6.24 GB. I've forced auto maintenance and purged browser caches, don't know what to do next.
Any idea what my problem might be?
Many thanks!

What version of Safari do you have? The link you provided looks OK with Safari 2.0.4 under OS X 10.4.8; it also looks OK in Firefox 1.5.0.9
Microsoft dropped any pretense of supporting Internet Explorer back around the time of OS X 10.1.5 and I wouldn't expect it to work well with any websites. If some of the sites you visit require IE, try enabling Safari's Debug menu and set the User Agent to be IE (try the MSIE 6 for Windows agent). To enable Safari’s Debug Menu, open Applications> Utilities> Terminal when Safari is closed and enter:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Restart Safari to see the Debug Menu.

The Eternal Cycle of Rebooting and Reincarnation

Hello, I just got my MacPro back and now it works fine. I edit Canon 5d Mark II footage on it, natively, H.264, 1920.
The folks at We Fix Macs had to send my MacPro to Cupertino for the bigwigs at HQ to fix my problem.
The reason I brought it in was that it insisted on engaging in an eternal cycle of rebooting every 3 minutes or so. The machine would power on properly, complete 95% of the booting process EXCEPT for the final display of the clock and other icons on the very top.
Then it would show the beloved BSOD and commence the whole process again, in an eternal cycle of reincarnation and rebooting. Very Zen and Buddhist and all that, but impossible to get any real work done.
I got it back from Apple HQ 10 days later (yesterday) with a note that it was a "software" problem. Totally helpful.
I asked what I could do to prevent its recurrence. They said to close down your programmes properly and make sure all your software is up to date.
DUH. I do all that.
I don't want to pose an "How long is my piece of string?" type question to this forum, but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced such a philosophically profound, but extremely unhelpful (from a pragmatic view of life), problem.
I don't do video games on this computer, just the Creative Suite 5, updated and current and availing myself of the kind souls on this board via the Web. So it's pretty much just the creative suite and Apple Safari that only visits Adobe sites. Pretty much a dedicated video unit.
Thanks,

Matt,
I know nothing about Mac's, except for that little logo on the top of their laptops... but when similar happens with most PC's, there is a "path," to troubleshoot. BSOD's, on a PC, are most often hardware issues, and next comes driver issues, that bork the OS. Harm Millaard has gathered a bunch of utilities for helping PC-users track down many of those hardware issues, and his tools are linked from this ARTICLE. I have zero clue, as to how much of that material would apply to a Mac - probably some, but maybe not that much.
Now, I am unplesantly surprised that you did not get more from having shipped your Mac to the Death Star, er I mean the Mother Ship...
It sounds like they are about as helpful as the Geek Squad with a PC. I would have thought it most helpful to you, had they pointed out the software conflict, and then given you a few thoughts on how to keep those conflicts from happening in the future, other than the generic, "shut things down properly." As you state, that is NOT your problem - something else is. What did they find? What did they change?
Now, when my wife's new auto does not work properly, I take it into the dealership. I do not expect them to give me a 50-page print out of exactly what was wrong (I doubt that I could understand it, and I used to do 90% of my auto maintenance), but I do want them to tell me what NOT to do, so that the problem does not surface again. That would be helpful, and they have been good at instructing me.
Good luck, and at least you got the Mac working, or at least I hope that you did.

Planning cube request status yellow

My transaction cube all the while has requests of reportable status. Now, new requests generated by planning processes are in yellow status (QM & technical).
I would like to find out how to tell what is wrong with the yellow requests or is it that this is due to auto maintenance is switched off. How to tell?
What is the impact if I switch it on as green?
Pls advice. Full Points will be awarded to the first clear answer.
Regards
Pascal Gabin

As mentioned - the yellow request is simply an open request, which means if users enter data it will go in that request.
It is important to use the Most Recent Data variable on the Request to make sure the open request gets included in any queries.
You can close the request, turning it green, and then a new open request will be created when the users enter more data. The system automatically does this whenever the row count in the Request exceeds a certain threshold (sorry - drawing a blank at the moment as to what the threshold is)

DB2 CC for unix environment

Dear Expert,
is it recommended to use DB2 control center on unix environment? Could you please refer us to the documentation or note which take this up?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rudi

SAP does not explicitly recommend the use of the db2 cc - however, I am not aware of data inconsistency due to it's use.
For earlier releases there have been SAP extensions for the cc - and still the cc may be useful if you e.g. run the DB2 auto maintenance facilities and want to influence time windows, or exclude tables from the auto_runstats.
The bottom line is, you well may use the cc - but it's not integrated into SAP. The SAP tool for DB administration is the transaction DBACOCKPIT.

Ink use while idle/ HP8620/Leave ON or OFF?

Hello: I've just purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8620 for Home use. I only print or copy a few pages per week: perhaps 5 to 10 pages per week, usually plain paper, frequently in draft mode, sometimes color/draft, ocasionally full color.Consequently, the printer sits idle much of the time. I understand that some ink is used in auto maintenance cycles to keep the print heads from drying and clogging. I also understand that most inkjet printers use very little electricity when idle, so I don't mind leaving it turned on - if that is what is best for ink economy. My question: with the above described usage, will this printer use less ink if I leave it off until needed? or would it be more ink saving to leave it on all the time? I eagerly await your reply. Also, would like to let you know that I am quite pleased with the print quality when I use the photo/best mode. I don't use this often, but I like to have the option for special occasions. Thanks!

Hi , I see by your post that you would like to know whether to leave the printer on or off. I would like to help you.
If the printer is not in use, then I would recommend turning it off, to save on power and ink. When the printer is left on, the printer will periodically run maintenance cycles that use small amounts of ink to flush the nozzles and keep them clear, if the printer isn't being used for long periods of times. Without the regular maintenance cycles the printhead may become clogged. (months at a time being turned off) HP inkjet printers have shut-down routines, where the printer parks the printhead and caps the cartridge. When the printer is turned off and when the printer has been idle for a while and it puts itself into power save mode. The printer can sit for an extended time without drying out the ink in the printhead and without harming the printer. Hope this helps. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

Upgrade Hard Disc in MBA

So I have a MBA HDD. I love it - having switched from a PC laptop, I find my self doing more pictures/video/audio than before. It is just AWESOME. I just have one small problem. I am running out of space. I run a dual boot setup with WinXP (wouldn't mind tri-booting vista) but all of this along with my photos, mp3's, and dev software (iphone sdk is 2gb - VS.net is 5 - etc) I am pretty much out of space. I would like to slap a 250gb HDD in there. I have a few concerns. First Apple in it's infinite wisdom decided to use the older PATA standard instead of SATA. I'm ok with this, but it limits my selection. Is it just a standard 2.5" laptop disk? Would anything besides my battery be affected if I chose a 5400 rpm hdd (there aren't that many high capacity 4200 PATA drives)? What does this do to my waranty? How hard of an upgrade would this be for someone who has built dozens of desktop PC's?

Dave Sawyer wrote:
how does the warranty being generally void fall within Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act.
The MMWIA does not prevent Apple, or any other manufacturer, from having a "no unauthorized modifications" clause in their warranty provisions. Many if not most manufacturers have such a provision and it's perfectly legal, at least in the US (other countries may have different laws). So Apple can indeed void your warranty if an unauthorized person opens a MacBook Air to install anything or perform any sort of service. If you want a good summary on what the MMWIA requires and does not require, look at this FTC web page.
I have a passing knowledge of the MM Act as it pertains to auto maintenance. I've always understood that the mere act of self-servicing can't void a warranty. It certainly can't void an entire warranty. In any case, the voiding of a warranty has to be related to something done improperly by the end-user or 3rd party personnel. If a speaker cable is damaged (but nothing else) all other parts must remain under warranty if the procedures were otherwise done correctly.
This was in the link you provided:
While you cannot use a tie-in sales provision, your warranty need not cover use of replacement parts, repairs, or maintenance that is inappropriate for your product. The following is an example of a permissible provision that excludes coverage of such things.
"While necessary maintenance or repairs on your AudioMundo Stereo System can be performed by any company, we recommend that you use only authorized AudioMundo dealers. Improper or incorrectly performed maintenance or repair voids this warranty."
The key is that replacement parts and service procedures must be appropriate. A compatible 1.8" PATA drive dropped into an MBA should be considered appropriate. I've read Apple's warranty terms on their CPU-based products, and it's remarkably similar.
I can understand cases where it would matter if there are modifications. One would be defacing a memory module label. The seller is the warranter. Often the seller is just reselling or using commodity parts. The warranty label is a key to who is responsible for the warranty of the memory module. The other would be the seal on an external hard drive or shield of an internal hard drive. With the internal hard drive, removing the shield/label is clearly putting it outside of its recommended environment (shielded from unfiltered air). An external hard drive is often made with commodity hard drives, and it would be difficult for a manufacturer to guarantee that it's not simply a dead hard drive that the user decided to drop in and get replaced under warranty.
This one is pretty good, and what I've heard over the years about how no manufacturer can require that upgrades be handled by authorized personnel:
http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=fd8c8b5f08b2e5155c5836e 00e7151ad&rgn=div8&view=text&node=16:1.0.1.7.74.0.45.10&idno=16
§ 700.10 Section 102(c).
(a) Section 102(c) prohibits tying arrangements that condition coverage under a written warranty on the consumer's use of an article or service identified by brand, trade, or corporate name unless that article or service is provided without charge to the consumer.
(b) Under a limited warranty that provides only for replacement of defective parts and no portion of labor charges, section 102(c) prohibits a condition that the consumer use only service (labor) identified by the warrantor to install the replacement parts. A warrantor or his designated representative may not provide parts under the warranty in a manner which impedes or precludes the choice by the consumer of the person or business to perform necessary labor to install such parts.
(c) _No warrantor may condition the continued validity of a warranty on the use of only authorized repair service and/or authorized replacement parts for non-warranty service and maintenance._ For example, provisions such as, “This warranty is void if service is performed by anyone other than an authorized ‘ABC’ dealer and all replacement parts must be genuine ‘ABC’ parts,” and the like, are prohibited where the service or parts are not covered by the warranty. These provisions violate the Act in two ways. First, they violate the section 102 (c) ban against tying arrangements. Second, such provisions are deceptive under section 110 of the Act, because _a warrantor cannot, as a matter of law, avoid liability under a written warranty where a defect is unrelated to the use by a consumer of “unauthorized” articles or service_. This does not preclude a warrantor from expressly excluding liability for defects or damage _caused by such “unauthorized” articles or service; nor does it preclude the warrantor from denying liability where the warrantor can demonstrate that the defect or damage was so caused._
In essence, a case of warranty denial must be backed up with just cause that the user or 3rd party did or used something improper.

Car care app?

i'm looking for a auto maintenance app that will tell me what reccomended maintenance needs to be done at a certain mileage automatically. know of any?

Technically, I think what you see when you navigate to maps.google.com from Safari on the iPhone is a mobile optimized version of Google Maps. So, you don't get the full interface that you see on the desktop browser. As such, I wasn't expecting that any option for send would even be available. Since it does appear though, I'm hoping that there is some way to get to the section I am interested in.
After you navigate to maps.google.com on your iPhone, do a search. Once your searchresults appear on the map, tap one of them. I've noticed that the map can be a little "touchy". Sometimes I need to tap the result more than once in order to get the first pop-up. In that pop-up will be details about the search result including the name, address, phone, "Write a review", "more info", etc links. One of the links at the bottom of the pop-up window is "Send". Once you tap that, the new window appears where you can choose where to send. This window is the one I can't scroll far enough to the left on to get to "Car". Interestingly, if you rotate from portrait to landscape, you get pretty close. You basically get a view of the whole "Send" pop-up window - except for the key area at the left where you choose between Email, Phone, Car and GPS. You have to be able to choose the appropriate category in order to get the proper fields in the Send window in order to transmit the map data to the appropriate device type. So, like I said, I can almost get there, but not quite.

IF Auto Update Statistics ENABLED in Database Design, Why we need to Update Statistics as a maintenance plan

Hi Experts,
IF Auto Update Statistics ENABLED in Database Design, Why we need to Update Statistics as a maintenance plan for Daily/weekly??
Vinai Kumar Gandla

Hi Vikki,
Many systems rely solely on SQL Server to update statistics automatically(AUTO UPDATE STATISTICS enabled), however, based on my research, large tables, tables with uneven data distributions, tables with ever-increasing keys and tables that have significant
changes in distribution often require manual statistics updates as the following explanation.
1.If a table is very big, then waiting for 20% of rows to change before SQL Server automatically updates the statistics could mean that millions of rows are modified, added or removed before it happens. Depending on the workload patterns and the data,
this could mean the optimizer is choosing a substandard execution plans long before SQL Server reaches the threshold where it invalidates statistics for a table and starts to update them automatically. In such cases, you might consider updating statistics
manually for those tables on a defined schedule (while leaving AUTO UPDATE STATISTICS enabled so that SQL Server continues to maintain statistics for other tables).
2.In cases where you know data distribution in a column is "skewed", it may be necessary to update statistics manually with a full sample, or create a set of filtered statistics in order to generate query plans of good quality. Remember,
however, that sampling with FULLSCAN can be costly for larger tables, and must be done so as not to affect production performance.
3.It is quite common to see an ascending key, such as an IDENTITY or date/time data types, used as the leading column in an index. In such cases, the statistic for the key rarely matches the actual data, unless we update the Statistic manually after
every insert.
So in the case above, we could perform manual statistics updates by
creating a maintenance plan that will run the UPDATE STATISTICS command, and update statistics on a regular schedule. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:

Table maintenance - auto-populate description field based on other field

Hello,
I have a custom table with 2 fields in it. Customer and Name. For customer field, I am using a standard customer search help. My requirement is when I search for a customer and select a customer, how can the name field be auto populated with customer name? I am looking for a best way to do this.
Thanks,
AV

hi adrian,
One method to achieve this functionality would be :
1. Find out the maintenance screen and function group of the table maintenance generator say 0001 and Z03_PRO_FN. ( u can find out by going into tables - > utilities -> tmg - to find Function group. for screen number- from TMG ->utilites->modifications->maintanence screen -> note the screen number).
2. Go to SE80 and open Z03_PRO_FN screen number 0001.
3. For field 1 - create a module in Process on Value Request Event in PAI of the maintenance screen ( Similar to any module pool program)
call the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST( In Process on Value request event of field 1 in PAI)
4. Use FM DYNP_VALUES_Update to read the value of field 1 on the screen ( Because this is before enter is pressed and field 1 on the module pool porogram would not be populated with value ) and update the field 2.

Sivaganesh
