Automator - Disconnect from server

Hi,
I'm working on a small automator workflow that helps me synchronizing iTunes music across 3 computers. Basically it connects to a server, uses the sync folders action to synchronize the contents and then I want to disconnect from the server.
That's the point where I'm stuck ... searched the web but couldn't find a real answer how to disconnect from a server using Automator.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

I don't have an answer for you.
Did you ever get it working?
If so I would like to shamelessly steal your workflow.
thanks
chuck

Disconnect from Server

I have a G4(MDD)that I am trying to connect to my Windows 2003 Server. The problem is that when I connect using SBM,CIFS or AFP I get a [email protected] has been disconnected. I have changed patch cables added some info into the DNS nothing seems to help. I have another G4 (MDD) with the same setting running with no problems. Im not sure what more to try. Im thinking of telling my company to buy an Xserve that would solve the problem.
Thanks for the help.
The OS on the G4 is 10.4.6

Now I understand better some of what's going on. The networking functions are fine; it's the GUI that's misleading me.
As soon as I select a server icon in the "Shared" section of the Finder sidebar, Leopard connects as "Guest" and displays the share points. Select a share point and the shared volume icon mounts on the desktop, and the triangular unmount icon appears next to the share icon in the Finder.
BUT: disconnect from server or share point, and the Finder STILL displays all share points and indicates I am still "Connected as: Guest" . . . but now there is no disconnect triangle.
Further weirdness: If I have a share point mounted, and click "Connect as" (button available in column-view), it unmounts the share, but doesn't launch the "Connect to Server" dialog.
Then, click "Connect as" again to bring up the "Connect to Server" dialog, authenticate as NON-GUEST user to an SMB share, the volume mounts, but the Finder displays "Connected as Guest"!
Even if I connect as a NON-GUEST user to a PC share using SMB in the older way -- CMD-K or "Go > Connect to Server" -- then select the newly-mounted Server icon in the Finder sidebar, the Finder tells me I am -- you "guest" it -- "Connected as Guest."
Interestingly, the Finder displays AFP connections correctly, with actual user names, and a "disconnect" button, under the server icon in the 1st Finder column; SMB connections do not.
So my issues here seem to be confusion created by miscues in the GUI -- the "Connected as Guest" indication before you've actually connected, and after you've disconnected. And for SMB connections, the additional miscues of being told you're connected as guest instead of the user account you've authenticated under, and the curious absence of a "Disconnect" button under the server icon in the 1st Finder column.
I just installed Leopard three days ago. Overall, I love it. I hope this feedback helps Apple refine some minor bumps in the user experience.

N95 - emails vanish when disconnect from server??

Hi,
I've set up my N95 to send and receive emails - its doing both even though when I "send" it says server not found but the email DID arrive at its destination..??
My other problem is that after I have downloaded emails to my phone and I then disconnect from the server - when I then goto reconnect those emails dissappear.. Is there a setting to stop this from happening?
can you help me with eithe rof those issues?
Thank you
Angela

Good luck with that. It most likely has something to do with the network, and Bridge is really not set up for network function. It works that way but Adobe says there are so many variables with networks that can not be quantified. Not sure but if Bridge does error checking like Photoshop does it could lead to what you see.

Clean way to disconnect from server?

I can't find any socket.disconnect() method (just a socket.isConnected()). What's the cleanest way to disconnect from a server? I just do a socket.close, but then i get this exception on the server:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$PeekInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$PeekInputStream.readFully(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.readShort(Unknown Sour
ce)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readStreamHeader(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)

You can send a bye message.
Once the server has that it knows that it can close the socket on its end (and it can safely ignore a reset error.)

WRT54G v6.0 Disconnects From Server After Ten Minutes

I posted this once before and somehow it got....deleted?
Anyway....here we go again. I purchased A WRT54G over the holidays. It has worked fine for me with the exception of a real estate data source (server) that I need to use for my business. I can log on and start doing my analysis just fine, but when when the ten minute mark hit....the router disconnects me. It's EXACTLY ten minutes...everytime. I've spent the better part of 20 hours on the phone with Liksys Tech Support and they have been very helpfull, but unable to help me fix this issue. They sent me a new router to replace the one I bought thinking that there was something wrong with that router. After installing the router they sent me....same problem. We opened ports, reduced the MTU to 1375, disabled security, ect... with no luck. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Actually try this...
Connect wired to your ISP provider cable/dsl modem and release/renew dhcp lease...
IP address is then assigned based on MAC address of that computer
IPCONFIG to check assigned address
Re-connect wireless router and in settings duplicate the mac address of the PC used above.
Release/renew dhcp on router and check status on router settings pages
assigned IP should be same or in relative range.
Why this may be occuring.... At least what leads to the above suggestion:
ISP providers in the mid-west region around me started assignment of Router based MAC addressing to monitored and limited bandwidth servers - IP assigned would renew into those servers as the MAC address from a router was a clear indication of mutiple PC use and bandwidth consumption.
Duplication of a desktop or wired network card on your PC into the router defused this by detection your MAC appears to be a single PC and the ISP assigns the address to standard server loads.
Try it see if this helps - keep in mind most of these hardware manufacturers use base hardware from common pools of sub-suppliers - I believe you will have just as much issue with a netgear unit.

After quit app, disconnect from server

I am running into problems launching an application (Type to Learn 3 on OS 10.4.11) that must connect to server-based data folder (Windows Server 2000) in a computer lab environment. Presently, I must select Go>Connect to Server>afp://xx.xx.xx.xxx>Connect, then launch the app. After the student quits the app, the shared data drive remains mounted. I would like for the mounted drive to automatically eject following quit app.
I have been able to create an Automator script that will Connect to the server and launch the app, but I am unable to figure out how to eject the shared drive upon quit app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am not sure that using Automator is the best option. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Hopefully I can clarify.
After the user quits the application accessing the server-based drive, I want the drive to be unmounted automatically. I do not want students to have access to the student data located within the drive.
It is possible to hide the drive from appearing in the sidebar, but I would prefer that it is unmounted to ensure data security.
So, the entire process looks something like this:
1. connect to server "drive"
2. launch app "TTL3"
3. student uses app
4. student quits app
5. "drive" unmounts
Thanks again for your assistance.

Backed up iPhone to iTunes on our computer then started the software update.

Every attempt to connect to the iPhone software update server comes back with a could not contact message. What do we do? How do we proceed?

Many thanks for your answer.

!! Query not running - disconnecting from server!!

BW GURUS!
I have 140 queries out of our Live 1 (GL1) and now we are on GL2 (Go Live 2). I transorted all the queries in here.All the config and defnition everything is normal (even for the new queries I created in GL2 NOT Transported from earlier system....It does the same thing). When I open to run a query it is kicking me out of teh srever giving the following error message.
My best guess is I miss some std setting that I need to implement in the process. It is something related to SAP exit or so.

Check your user exit code for syntax errors first. Make sure that you check all includes as well. The error below suggests that you are using a field called "I_FISCYEAR" which probably isn't defined using a

Photosmart 5520 connected to network, but keeps disconnecting from server (internet) for ePrint

I just bought a new Photosmart 5520 and love it. Everything works EXCEPT the HP ePrint service. My printer is always connected to the network, but when I connect the ePrint, it would work for no more than 10 minutes before I get the message "The printer was unable to connect to the server. Check the internet connection and try again". The thing is, the printer is ALWAYS connected to the network, but gets kicked off the internet, rendering ePrint useless. Anyone know the problem? My router is a Netgear 7550 and my ISP is Frontier. Please help

Hi deskdownstairs,
I see that you're having problems setting up ePrint. I would try the steps below.
1. Obtain your printer's IP address
a. This can be done by pressing the wireless icon on printer.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser.
3. Select the network tab at the top of the page.
4. On the left select networking.
5. Select Network Address (IP)
6. Select Manual DNS Server
a. Manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8
b. Alternate DNS Server should read. 8.8.4.4
7. Select apply you might get a warning just select okay.
Let me know how it goes.

Disconnect from Server Drive Sporadically Using Bridge

When using Adobe Bridge CS4 I keep getting disconnected to a network drive. My PC stays connected via Explorer but not in Bridge. I have to restart Bridge to get access back.

Good luck with that. It most likely has something to do with the network, and Bridge is really not set up for network function.

Disconnecting from external display changes background, disconnect server shares, inactivates desktop icons.

I have a user working on a MacBook Pro, Lion OS X 10.8.2, connected to an external display. When disconnecting from the external display the background picture changes, he can’t open documents saved to desktop, and the connection to the server shares is lost. Rebooting does not resolve the issue while it is disconnected from the external display. If he reconnects the MacBook back to the external monitor sometimes he has to reboot to get everything back to normal. It almost seems like it is logging him into a different account or profile or something like that (please excuse my messy terminology as most of our users are still using PCs). However if you look at what account is logged in, it is still the same account that he logged in with that morning. The Mac is not authenticating to the network, just connecting to server shares. Has anyone experienced this issue before and if so is there a fix for it?

The Mac has a long history of assuming that ANY adapter still present means the display is still present -- you need to remove the adapter as well as the cable, if present.
So my theory articulated above is that the disconnect is not registered correctly. This would mean that the second display is still seen as present. You could check this by invoking:
System Preferences > Displays ...
and looking for the Arrange pane (shown above) which is ONLY present when multiple displays are attached. More detailed information can be found in About this Mac > ( More info ) Graphics & Displays ...
... specifically the NAME of each attached display is shown or an indication (no display connected):

BEx Error: Automation error: Object invoked has disconnected from clients

Hi,
We have a user here that attempts to access a query in BEx (MS Excel), but receives this error message:
- Runtime error '-2147417848 (80010108)':
Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.
Any ideas.
Thanks,
John

Please go through the OSS note 857360..
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=857360&_NLANG=E
This talks about your error..
Solution
1) Replace the RFC library
librfc32.dll
on the client PC with a current version.
620: Version >= 6206.6.1938.4727 (620x.x.x.4727).
640: Version >= 6400.3.79.4740 (640x.x.x.4740).
There is a version of the 620 and 640 librfc32.dll in the attachments: and we recommend that you use Version 640 (compatible with SAPGUI 620) (see below).
620 Version: Download librfc32.rar. Rename it librfc32.exe. This file extracts itself automatically.
640 Version: Download librfc32.zip. You can use WinZip to extract this file.
Note:
It seems that newer (delivered) versions of 6.20 librfc32.dll do not contain this fix. In this case, you can also use the 6.40 librfc32.dll. For reasons of compatibility, you should use the following Microsoft DLLs that are available on the PC for this: msvcr71.dll and to be msvcp71.dll (see Note 684106).

Error during disconnect from FTP Server

Hi Everyone,
Here's my problem:
XI has stopped picking the messages from the repository of one of servers. Though, we have checked the XI system and can find no problems from the infrastructure side. The adapters also show no errors and the communication channels show no errors.
We have also checked the log viewer in XI and found the following entry:
"Error during disconnect from frtp server ABC, ignored: com.sap.xxx.adapter.file.ftp.XXXXXX: 421 Terminating Connection."
This FTP error relates to what we FTP server says, "421 service not available, remote server has closed connection."
We looked at the server side, the server is working fine.
What do you think is the error? And do we resolve this one? I'm really clueless about this..Im thinking of just restarting the J2EE engine...
Thanks,
Grace

Mary,
This question would be more relevant to the Xi forum... but on googling the error code..
http://help.globalscape.com/help/support/Error_Codes/FTP_Codes.htm
Error 421 Service not available, closing control connection.
Error 421 User limit reached
Error 421 You are not authorized to make the connection
Error 421 Max connections reached
Error 421 Max connections exceeded
Possible Solutions:
You may receive a 421 error if the FTP server you are connected to limits the total number of connections available or limits the connections available to one user. There are three things you can do:
1. Limit the number of connections to any one FTP site by selecting Tools > Global Options > Connection and set "Per site max connections / transfers" to 1 (By default it will be set to 2).
2. Remove items from the Transfer Queue. The Transfer Queue is where you see items ready for transfer, in transit, or just transferred. Sometimes the Queue Pane can become cluttered with unfinished transfers. To clear the queue, right-click inside it and choose Remove All.
Also try using an FTP manager like cuteFTP or something of that sort to see if you can open the connection - it could be related to the FTP settings...

Hope it helps....

Cannot bring up saved page, complete or HTML only, if disconnected from internet: "Server not found"

I right clicked, chose "Save Page As...", chose both HTML Only and Complete on 2 different tries. When I tried to bring the page back up when disconnected from the internet network, I receive the "Server Not Found" error page. I shouldn't have to be connected to bring a saved page back up. I've not had this happen before, and it has only happened w/ a particular page, but one which is perfectly normal. What might be the explanation and solution? Thank you.
Jeff Bowrs

I would start with seeing if the Web Browser on the G4 can get to 192.168.0.1 which should be the web server (Set Up pages) on the router.
If that does not work I would double check the cable (Use another).
If you can I would connect two computers together and see if the Self Assigned IP (169.xxx.xxx.xxx) works to eliminate the Ethernet Card.
You have no connection to the Internet.
You need to sort out where it is breaking down.
As other devices seem to get on the 'Net then it would appear to be:-
The Ethernet Port on the routing device.
The Cable itself.
The Card or Port on the Mac
