Basic networking query

How do I check if a given server is responding at a given port #?? when I telnet to that port it responds well.
Any other indications for that I could look for?
Thanks
anand

You can run netstat on the server to see what its listening for.

Setting up a pretty basic network AP extreme + 2 AP Express: tech advice

I have got this network to function for quite sometime but since a couple of days the LED light flashes repeatedly 5 times yellow and one persistent green. In AP Utility I get "wds error" and the dot changes color also in software.
The network I want to get going is - I guess - pretty basic. As main station, connected to the internet thru an ADSL-modem I have the AP Extreme. SInce I live in 2 stories flat and I need a max signal from one floor to the other (to stream music to a Slimdevices' Transporter) I thought I'd be using one AP Express as a link between the Extreme and the remotest AP Express, which turn feeds the Transporter. I should add: the Extreme BS is more than sufficient to provide for one floor (where I have 1 Powermac and 2 laps (1 Dell + 1 PB G4) so - if appropriate - one AP Express can be dedicated to just relaying the signal. I have had all this to work but now suddenly it starts ******** which is why I have to reevaluate my configuration = Extreme as basesation and the 2 Express-units as "WDS remotes".
My Qs are: How should I configure the different units? Esp the "middleman"; as relay??? For optimum signal: could I - or even SHOULD I - have both Express units set up as "WDS remotes"

Thanks for all patience. I reread the link you provided. After fiddling around with this some additional Qs pop up. I've set one as relay and the one serving my Transporter as remote. In APU looking at the Main station, ie The AP Extreme, under WDS there is a small window where you can add "remotes". In that window I should only add the actual WDS Remote, not the WDS Relay-unit, or??
In my 1st trial with the Relay/Remote setup I had added the relay - only - to that list, then I became aware of that tab stating "WDS Remotes" so I changed it around as described above. Now I get a flashing yellow on the Main and a "WDS Error" further explained as "This base station is set up to be part of a WDS network, but no WDS peers can be found".

Problems with basic spatial query

I'm trying to learn Oracle Spatial working with 11g R2 and with 3D georeferenced data (specifically data describing buildings in a city).
But I'm having trouble getting a basic query to work on my dataset (it works for the book example), and I'm trying to do it exactly the way it's done in the Spatial Developer's Guide for 11g.
To learn how spatial queries work, I set up the cola_markets tables used in the documentation, made the appropriate manual entry in the user_sdo_geom_metadata view and created the index. Having done that, I can run the following simple query (as well as the others in the manual) on the book tables:
SELECT SDO_GEOM.SDO_DISTANCE(c_b.shape, c_d.shape, 0.005)
FROM cola_markets c_b, cola_markets c_d
WHERE c_b.name = 'cola_b' AND c_d.name = 'cola_d';
but when I try to do the same thing on my own tables (created from citygml data), I get an error. There is the difference that the data is 3D, and the index was created without any PARAMETERS ( ... ), hence is just 2D. But still I don't get why the following query doesn't work:
SELECT SDO_GEOM.SDO_DISTANCE(c_w.envelope, c_b.envelope, 0.0005)
FROM cityobject c_w,
cityobject c_b
WHERE c_w.id = 50025
AND c_b.id = 50018;
The id's for the buildings are valid, and I used the same tolerance used by the software that set up the database.
Here's the error I get in SQL developer:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.Exception: 54535
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_3GL", line 637
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1973
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1990
29532. 00000 - "Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: %s"
*Cause: A Java exception or error was signaled and could not be
resolved by the Java code.
*Action: Modify Java code, if this behavior is not intended.
So, thinking it might have something to do with the fact that it's a Java interface, I also tried running it from SQL/PL command line and get essentially the same thing:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
java.lang.Exception: 54535
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_3GL", line 637
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1973
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1990
Any ideas why this isn't working?

Hi,-
There are many ways to model a building with our open 3D data model:
Please note that each polygon can be any planar surface as long as you dont use
shortcut definitions like axis-aligned box as Siva mentioned. We dont allow curved surfaces in 3D.
Gtype 3003 can be composite surface which means each polygon should be connected to another polygon with an edge. Etype must be then 1006. You can have as many polygons as possible as long as they are connected.
Gtype 3003 can also be a single polygon. But, this will not be able to model a building.
As you pointed out, maybe it is the footprint of the building.
You can also model building with gtype 3008 which is simple or composite solid.
Etype 1007 means it is simple solid and etype 1008 means it is composite solid.
Composite solid has one or more solids which has at least one full or partial common surface in between.
In your case with single polygon, you can use sdo_util.extrude as follows to make
3D buildings. The surfaces created will be on the out-side surface of the building.
You will not have walls inside the building when you use this following function:
SELECT SDO_UTIL.EXTRUDE(

Basic Spatial Query

Hi guys,
I am currently developing a java applet to display telecommunication sites taken from an Oracle 8.1.6 DB. The company I work for also happens to have the spatial cartridge which I intend to use to overlay a country map over my plottings. I have imported the map data into a table, and I can view the GEOLOC information as a huge stream of longs and lats via a simple SELECT query in SQLPLUS - so the data has been imported correctly.
I have tried to digest huge articles on querying spatial information - however, unfortunately being an Oracle novice, it has left me quite dazzled.
Basically all I want to do is take from my spatial table a list of long and lat coordinates (in double format) in a specific physical area, so that I can display them from there.
I'd appreciate any help that anyone could give.

Hi David,
There are a few things you will have to do in order to get this to work quickly.
1) You will have to insert data into the user_sdo_geom_metadata field so Oracle Spatial can know some information about the data you've created (table name, spatial column name, information about upper and lower bounds as well as tolerance for each dimension.
2) You'll need to create a spatial index on the data.
3) You'll need to analyze the spatial index table.
4) Then you can query the data. You'll have to decide whether you need exact answers (using the sdo_relate operator) or approximate answers based only on the index (sdo_filter operator).
There is too much information required to put it all here, but I'll include a few samples.
to insert data into user_sdo_geom_metadata:
insert into user_sdo_geom_metadata values ('TABLE_NAME','GEOMETRY_COLUMN_NAME',
mdsys.sdo_dim_array(mdsys.sdo_dim_element('X',-180.0,180,0.00000005),
mdsys.sdo_dim_element('Y',-90,90,0.00000005)),NULL);
commit;
In the above example, TABLE_NAME is the name of the table with your geometry column, then the geometry column name, then the dimarray has attributes in it associated with each of two dimensions (two dimensional data is stored here), the first dimension has a lower bound of -180, and upper bound of 180, and a tolerance or 0.00000005 (the decimal precision of your data, with a 5 appended), the second dimension has the info supplied, and the last null means there is no coordinate system stored with the data. I'd suggest if you are a newbie to leave it as NULL, then ease into coordinate systems once you get more experience.
2) create the index
create index table_name_sidx
on table_name(geometry_column_name)
indextype is mdsys.spatial_index
parameters('sdo_level=x');
where x is usually a number between 6 and 14 based on the type of data you have. There is a lot to say about this, but I can't say it here.
3) analyze the spatial index table:
from sql*plus, run the following statements:
set head off
spool analyze_it.sql
select ' analyze table ' | | sdo_index_table | | ' estimate statistics sample 32 percent;'
from user_sdo_index_metadata order by sdo_index_table;
spool off;
@analyze_it.sql
4) execute a query based on an area of interest:
this statement will return all geometries that have any interaction with a query window specified by a rectangle with bounds
2,2, 10,2, 10,10, 2,10, 2,2
SELECT geometry_column_name
FROM table_name
where sdo_relate (geometry_column_name,
mdsys.sdo_geometry(2003,NULL, NULL
mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array(1,1003,1),
mdsys.sdo_ordinate_array (2,2, 10,2, 10,10, 2,10, 2,2)),
'mask=anyinteract querytype=window'
= 'TRUE';
You will have to dig more into each of these subject to understand them.
Hope this helps,

Solaris 10 basic network tutorial

Hi there,
I have a solaris 10 machine and a windows xp machine.
I have them linked up with a cross over cable.
I have set the IP on the windows machine to 192.168.0.100 on a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
What i cannot seem to fathom (although i did manage it on linux, somehow) is how to configure the solaris machine.
Does anyone know of a good BASIC tutorial on how i can get the two machine networked. Basically, i would like to get ftp and telnet working between the machines.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
dmesg a system message log viewer.
It will tell you the 'instance name' of your network
card, but a whole lot else about devices and
boot histories.
So you need to run it, pipe the output into
a grep (search) for network, and pipe the
result of that into a grep for pci. I'm using your
network card will be some kind of PCI card
Here's what I get:
# dmesg | grep -i network | grep pci
Feb 7 19:13:59 ten genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@1,1 (hme0) online
hme0 is therefore my interface name.
'hme' is the driver name, '0' is the first one.
# man hme
gives you the scarey driver details.
So I need to have /etc/hostname.hme0 in order
to have a hostname. Only one line in the file,
only one word in it -- the same as the hostname
you supplied in /etc/hosts.
On sparc, the drivers include hme, qfe, eri and le.
On x86, they include bcme and ibprb.
An x86 box with a one broadcom network card
will have bcme0.

Can someone quickly spot the syntax error in this basic XML query?

I'm very new to SQL/XML and I'm using this query in the basic HR schema provided by Oracle in the 10g Express Edition Database.
I'm getting the "ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis" message when I run the following query, but the parenthesis all seem to match up:
SELECT
XMLELEMENT ("EMPLOYEES",
XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT ("DEPARTMENTS",
XMLELEMENT ("Department", department_name),
(SELECT
XMLELEMENT ("EMPLOYEE",
XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT ("Empno", employee_id),
XMLELEMENT ("Job", job_id),
XMLELEMENT ("FirstName", first_name),
XMLELEMENT ("LastName", last_name),
XMLELEMENT ("Email", email),
XMLELEMENT ("Phone", phone_number)))
AS result
FROM employees
WHERE employees.department_id = departments.department_id)))
AS result
FROM departments)

You do have the correct number of parenthesis, just the last one is in the wrong spot. Here is the corrected version. I moved the trailing ) to before "AS result"
SELECT
XMLELEMENT ("EMPLOYEES",
XMLAGG(
    XMLELEMENT ("DEPARTMENTS",
      XMLELEMENT ("Department", department_name),
      (SELECT
         XMLELEMENT ("EMPLOYEE",

Basic Network Monitoring for Cisco Operation Manager 2012

Hello,
Please bear with me as i'm new the Operations Manager 2012 world. I've just installed operations manager 2012 in our environment and i've setup a network management point. I've discovered my networking gear which is primarily cisco equipment. The devices
are appearing as CERTIFIED. It appears that they are HEALTHY however in most cases i'm getting some arbitrary monitors. I have a 6509 switch where memory and processor appear to be being monitored out of the box. I'm receiving alerts and everything.
My question is how do I turn on monitoring for other discovered components. I seem to understand I can make SNMP monitors under the authoring pane if i know the OID. That sounds like it'd be tedious work for such a simple and basic monitor. However I was
under the impression I would be able to monitor a lot of these components with a simple click of a button. Is this not the case? I'm primarily interested in monitoring the state and performance of particular interfaces as well as the state of the power supplies
in our switches. Is there a guide that explains the basic principles of this. What are my options?
Thanks!
-Brandon

Hi,
You will need to edit the discovery and broaden the range. You may use recursive discovery.
Recursive discovery will try to discover any other network devices it knows about through its Address Routing Protocol (ARP) table, its IP address table, or the topology Management Information Block (MIB) to grow the network map and present all applicable
devices to you for monitoring.
You can also filter out devices that you don't want to be discovered by using properties such as the device type, name, and object identifier (OID). This is a handy option if you wanted to quickly discover all the network devices in your network except,
a small number or some with a specific criteria.
In really large networks with a lot of network devices, keep in mind that there is a default limit of 1500 network devices that can be discovered recursively. You can of course tweak this limit to suit your environment if you wish, but for most people, this
won't be needed.
More details, please go through the article below:

Basic WLAN query

This is my second week with the N95 and so far so good. I have posted one query on this forum and had a fantastic response.
I am interested in being able to connect the phone to my home PC to transfer files use the internet access and possibly stream music and video (not sure about that) from the pc to the phone. I have read several topics about connecting the N95 to a home wlan but these all appear to involve a router and a 'proper' network. All I have is one PC running xp media centre with a built in wireless adaptor.
I wondered if I would be able to connect the phone to the PC to do any or all of the above.
I have never set up a network at home and am not sure if this is even possible.
I would be grateful for any assistance.
Thanks

thanks for the help.
I have a cable modem it has no extra lan sockets and no wifi the only wifi is an adaptor in the pc.
As for the other question I dont think there are any static ip addresses.
What i have is just a pc pluged into a cable modem and a wifi adaptor.
I am not at home at present and do not have any other info.
Thanks again
I can see a way of getting the setup that you have working technically, but not sure if the N95 can communicate in the way I am about to describe.
What you would have to do is have the WiFi adapter permanently plugged into your PC which would then act as a router (you would have to install Internet Connection Sharing on your PC which is hopefully running XP !). You would then assign a static IP address (i.e. it always stays the same) to your N95 and the WiFi interface on your PC which would then route onto the internet for you. You would also have to have some form of DNS resolution so the phone knows what IP address a website maps to.
Definitely do-able but messy, as you have to have your PC on in order for the phone to access WiFi, and not sure how UPnP would treat the whole setup (which lets you do the sharing bit). If you're not on a budget, then I would strongly recommend that you get the setup that I have as well as a previous poster, nhharm has, which is as follows.
Purchase an integrated WiFi Cable router/firewall device which has UPnP functionality (they're very common). You configure the router to talk to your cable provider and then plug your PC into the router. (Make sure your PC is fully patched for all Windows patches as there are security loopholes in the generic Microsoft UPnP release). Then enable UPnP and WiFi on your router and your phone will then be able to access the internet directly without talking to your PC. Once you get UPnP working you will then be able to share files, and use the other functionality that UPnP provides (you will also need an additional application supplied on the N95 CD - I hope you didn't throw it away !)
I've just described the broad strokes of what you'll need to do to get it working. Now you need to decide which methodology you want to use (which will probably be dependent on budget !) and then I can talk you through the next stage as much as I can, as I suspect you'll need some help along the way.
By The Way - if you choose the first option (using Internet Connection Sharing) I'll try to help but I've never used this so it'll be the blind leading the blind

Edward

Basic media query

This is driving me to distraction, can anybody tell me why the extremely basic coding does not show correctly in the Multiscreen view for mobile.:
The CSS:
@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
.container {
          width: 500px;
.content {
          float: left;
          width: 235px;
          margin-top: 0px;
          margin-right: 15px;
          margin-bottom: 0px;
          margin-left: 0px;
          background-color: #900;
          height: 40px;
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 320px) {
          .container {width: auto;}
          .content {
                    float:none;
                    margin: 0;
                    width: auto;
and the html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="basic_mobile.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen">
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="content"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Despite the media screen query canceling the Float it refuses to sit on on top of the other in the browser.
Apologies for the basic nature of this but it is a sticking point.

Hi
Not certain what you mean when you say,"shouldn't the two divs still stop floating though in the smaller browser window?", as the position of the divs are on the left by default in a browser, so they may give the impression of floating left, (try float right).
Insert some text into the content div.

Is there a way to use locations to do more than just basic network config?

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out if the network location can be used to do more than just the basics. For example, is there a way to automatically connect to network drives when I'm at a particular location? Trying to connect to them all the time (as a login item for example) makes the computer slow down whenever I'm at a different location. Also, is there a way to change the default printer or even sharing of pictures or music? It doesn't make sense to have a default printer something that's not available anymore at my new location, right?
What would be the best way to automatize all this (if it's not already supported?)
Many thanks in advance,
Adrian

You can create many calendars. Here's the tip:
Example: you have 1 son and 1 daughter.
In iCloud ( https://www.icloud.com )
Create 1 calendar called Son ( Choose a color to tell them apart )
Create 1 calendar called Daughter ( Ditto )
Create 1 calendar called Kids
Since you are the creator, you get to see all calendars combined.
Send invitations to each of them
Son gets Son and Kids calendars
Daughter gets Daughter and Kids calendars
So if there an event for Son, just put in that calendar
If it's for both then enter it in the Kids calendar
Likewise for daughter.

Basic networking help

I know this is a basic question but can anyone point me to a guide or tutorial that will help me setup a network between two macs.
I have a AirPort Extreme able iBook G4 and Powerbook G4(my roommate and I) and we are wanting to be able to do three things. It is also wise to note that we are using a Netgear WGR614 v.4 wireless router. We have it set up now that we can both connect to the internet wirelessly and wired without any problems.
I will start here by saying we BOTH have our firewalls off under the 'sharing' folder in Sys Prefs
We want now to be able to transfer files amongst ourselves, browse each others iTunes music, maybe even connect to one anothers printer. In the past we managed to exchange a file through our Public folder's "Drop Box". This took us awhile to sort out what to do and got it to work by chance, then next time tried to do it again and it wouldn't work. Also as it is now I can open my finder and click "Networks" and see and alias to her computer, but I cannot connect it says the ip is incorrect or does not exist. Finally if we both have iTunes open, we can see each others computer listed but cannot connect to one another, odd thing is when either of us is at school on that network we can both see other people's computers and listen to their music, so our settings must be set up right.
So is there a walkthrough, tutorial or guide that may resolve my problems? I have tried a few searches on the net as well as the mac site and nothing has been helpful yet.
re-cap. want to share files across local network. itunes browsing, and printer sharing.
Thanks in advance
mad-elph

The File Sharing information can be found in KB 106461, Mac OS X: About File Sharing.
KB 93365, Finding and Listening to Shared iTunes Music Libraries
For Printer Sharing, on the Mac connected to the printer via USB open the Sharing preference pane and enable Printer Sharing.

Basic AD query

Hi,
I'm looking into using Power Query so that I can get up-to-date Active Directory information about our users. I want to be able to extract basic data like names, email addresses, department etc. When I query the user table in Power Query it returns the display
names of all the users but no other useful columns (it shows things like securityPrinciple and posixAccount though). Is there some simple way I can use Power Query to combine data from multiple AD tables to provide a cohesive view of all our user data?
I don't know the names of all the fields I want, so I'd rather just extract all the data and figure it out from there.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can offer any help.

When you connect to the user table, as you noted, there's a column of displayName and then a bunch of other columns. Are you familiar with the expand button? Most of the other columns in this table are links to other related tables so those columns have
a little button to the right of the column name that looks like two arrows pointed left and right. Click that and then it will let you choose which of the embedded/related columns that you want to add to your table. I expect that the user, organizationalPerson,
and person columns probably contain most of the data you want. But if you want to blow out every single column and then go from there (not good for performance but maybe easier to dig through) then just go to each column and click those expand buttons. You
should end up with a huge table of data for each user.
This is one of my favorite features in Power Query. It's a great way to dig through a data schema that you're not quite familiar with and pull in related information without worrying about joins and merges.

Basic question - querying xmltype column

Hi,
Sorry for the basic question but please could someone paste in a working 'select where' statement which will pick out only those rows containing an element with specified content.
For example, how would I return n complete XML documents as query results for a situation where 'element_1' has text content 'apples'?
This does not seem to work:
SELECT x.xml_body.extract('/root_element/element_1/text()').getStringVal()
FROM xmltable x
WHERE x.xml_body.extract('/root_element/element_1/text()').getStringVal()='apples'

Hi Paul,
The query you have given works. I tried that query in the following format and it works.
Query 1:
SELECT x.xmlcol.extract(/Employee/Name/text()').getStringVal()
FROM table_name x
WHERE x.xmlcol.extract('/Employee/Name/text()').getStringVal()='Anu'
Query 2:
SELECT extractvalue(x.xmlcol,'//Name/text()')
FROM table_name x
WHERE extractvalue(x.xmlcol,'//Name/text()')='Srini'
Both the queries work. The xml is of the following format
<Employee company="Oracle">
<Name>Anu</Name>
<Department>OTN</Department>
<Location>India</Location>
</Employee>
Can you please tell the database version on which you are working?
For more information on XMLType you can refer the XMLDB Samples located at
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/xmldb/content.html
You can also refer to the XMLType Sample present at this location
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/9i_jdbc/content.html#xmltype
to know how to work with XMLType columns.
You can get back to us if you have any more doubts.

Network query related to deployment on Azure using powershell

Hi,
Firstly, I apologize as the question may sound very naive but somehow I am not able to get clear explanation (or may be I am missing something very basic).
I have a package (.pkg) present on a remote machine (on a corporate network). I need to upload this to Azure using powershell. I write a basic Powershell script (on my local computer connected to a home network) which will upload this .pkg to a cloud service
on Azure. But first, I need to upload the .pkg to Azure storage to avoid any bandwidth issues from where the package will be picked-up. Hence, I have written a script to upload .pkg to azure storage first.
As I see, the bytes (.pkg) on my home network getting downloaded on my local machine and then it gets uploaded to blob storage (upload/download uses my home network). Is there a way/possibility where the files can just be moved/copied from that corporate
network to blob storage directly? As I get it from few others, this is how OS behaves, Is it true? Can someone please explain this?
Thanks!

Hi Deepak,
In my expression, you want to run the PowerShell Script on the remote computer in corporate network form the home network.
To manage remote computer with PowerShell, maybe you can try Windows PowerShell Web Access:
Introducing Windows PowerShell Web Access in Windows Server 8 Beta
Install and Use Windows PowerShell Web Access
Remoting Week: Non-Domain Remoting
I hope this helps.
