Can an ARD computer database be stored in a central, shared location?

I would like to have the database of ARD computers made available to many users simultaneously. I do not want to have to have my own personal administrative laptop computer always available so that other users can get computer lists from it. Is there is way to put the ARD database in some central location so that these users can get to it? I am trying to avoid having every user of ARD having to discover and organize client computers. I am also trying to avoid installing a centralized ARD computer just to deal with computer lists.

I obviously know litte about ARD. Let me rephrase my question: Currently, we use Altiris to remotely manage our Windows workstations. It provides remote management, as well as package creation and delivery. I know that ARD does not do package creation. Other products are available for that; e.g., Apple's PackageMaker, FileWave's FileMagic. I just want to be able, along with a large staff, to manage Macintosh workstations remotely. I don't want everyone on staff to have to build his or her own database of Mac workstations. We have around 3,000 of them distributed over 60+ buildings in our 30,000+ student school district. Altiris holds a centralized database of workstation information which is used to remotely manage these workstations. We get to this management with a console client loaded on a Citrix terminal server. Is anything like this available from ARD? I realize that I'm probably talking "apples and oranges" here. I probably need a paradigm shift. Any ideas would be welcome.

Can 2 diff itunes in one household have one central music location?

Hi everyone,
my husband and I each have iTunes on their (Win based) computers. (it syncs with our phones, outlook, etc).
currently, our music library is divided between the two computers - which is not ideal...
i was hoping to move all the music to one location, that we could both access and play.
any ideas on how to do this?
thank you!

Is it possible to have a phone line connected to a Mac Mini (OS X10.8.2) so you can use your computer with Parallels (Windows xp) to dial into a modem to download data being collected and stored at the remote location?

Hi, do you mean a real Dial-up Modem as in the old days?
As I recall, the Apple USB Modem won't work in 64 bit OSes, but there are others that will, I think this is one of them...

How can I set my database instance to start in OPEN mode after my computer

Hi all,
Sometime, I have to reboot my computer. After it rebooted, my instance is automaticaly executed. But, my database is not set to the OPEN mode (automaticaly). On some development computers, my status is set to OPEN after a reboot. On some computers, the local database is set to the IDLE instance.
How can I set my database instance to start in OPEN mode after my computer has rebooted?
Thank your for any help.

but i could not run command emctl start dbconsolor lsnrctl..
What error you are getting? If you are not able to run both of them then the ORACLE_HOME is not set properly.
i set oracle_home and oracle_sid in thereWhere? Is it set in your user variable part of system variable. It is good to set it in the system variable, so that it will be common for all the users who use the system.
To check whether the variable is set or not go to the command prompt and type
setIf you see your ORACLE_HOME variable then it is set or else not.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

How can I use two database in Dataset in SSRS?

Hi,
I am using one query to generate my SSRS report. In that query I am using subquery. Now I am pulling data from multiple tales.
DB used in sub query is different than the rest of the tables DB.(So total I am using 2 DB(Database))
So I see that in SSRS, I can connect query(In DataSet Properties) to one DATA_SOURCE only, how can I use other database which is I used in sub-query?
I have to move this SSRS into PROD and I can't hard code that sub-query's DB name in my query.
Please give me suggestion. Thanks!!
Vicky

In SSRS 2008 R2 you can use the Lookup function (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210531.aspx ) and LookupSet function (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee240819.aspx
Depending on your security set up, you can reference a table in a second database on the same server using a three part name: database.schema.table. This is more likely to work for you if you wrap your SQL command in a stored procedure.

How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox?

How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox? I have exported the Firefox bookmarks from my old PC into a [Windows 8] folder on my new PC.
When I use the Firefox import facility, it will only import one bookmark at a time - and then it bookmarks all the main pages on the bookmarked website, not just the one which I originally bookmarked. It also does not import the information stored in the bookmark tag.

Sure thing.

How can I convert a Database Handle from TestStand to LabVIEW?

I want to use a Database Handle (already created in TestStand by an Open Database step) in a LabVIEW-VI (called from TestStand) to connect it with the "Connection Reference" input of the "Easy SQL.vi"? If I use a directly connection via the "TestStand - Get Property Value (Number).vi" I get back the error message 4101 in LabVIEW. How can I convert the Database Handle?

The TestStand database step types use the CVI SQL Toolkit to talk to databases. The handle that you are referencing is an internal memory location and not a actual handle that you can directly use. Currently as implemented the handle that is stored in a numeric TestStand property for the connection and the SQL statement are the handle values returned from the CVI SQL Toolkit. So for the connection handle, you could call the CVI SQL Toolkit function
DBGetConnectionAttribute (
int Connection_Handle,
tDBConnectionAttr Attribute,
void *Value);
and get the CVI CAObjHandle reference. With this you could then call the CVI ActiveX function
CA_GetInterfaceFromObjHandle(
CAObjHandle Object_Handle,
const IID *Interface_Id,
int Force_AddRef,
void *Inte
rface_Ptr,
int *Did_AddRef);
to get the actual ActiveX interface reference. This would have to be converted into a LabVIEW reference.
You may want to consider just using LabVIEW to open a new parallel reference only using the toolkit.

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Oracle Enterprise Manager can't connect to database after installation

Hello, I have a problem with Enterprise Manager. I installed Oracle 10g and the patch 10.2.0.2. After install, I could connect to database from SqlPlus without problems, but when I try to connect from AllPrograms - Oracle - DatabaseControl or since the Web browser with http://servername:1158/em nothing happen. I reviewed the status of dbconsole with emctl status dbconsole but the status is running. I recreated the repository with emca -deconfig.......-repos drop and emca -config ...... -repos create , but nothing happened. I reviewed some threads in this forum, but I didn't find the solution. Finally I could connect from the browser but with http://localhost:1158/em. Do you help me how can I connect from Database Control, because the operators in Computer Center should monitor the instance since there, and when I want to connect since my own PC how can do it?
Thanks for your help and excuse my English, I am from Bogotá Colombia.
Sincerely Rubén

Hi,
Check the network connectivity between db server and pc from where u want to access em.
Check the listener service.
Check firewall settings, it should be off.

How can I combine two databases, from two computers, to have one combined database of messages?

My old XP computer recently died and I had to build a new Windows 8.1 machine. While I was down I used a laptop as a temporary replacement. Now my new machine is running fine and receiving e-mail, but I now have two databases--one on the new machine and one on the laptop. Both are based on a recent backup, so they are lengthy--except that the new machine's database has a hole in it for the period I was on the laptop and the laptop's database also has gaps. How can I combine two databases into one that includes the messages from both machines?
Thanks in advance,
profsimonie

Thanks for your reply. My profile folder did not contain any MBOX files. I found them in another folder on another drive. The Import-Export tools simply transferred each folder to the current one as a sub-folder. Then I had to use ctrl-a to select everything in the folder and move them manually to the current folder (such as inbox). Then I could use the other utility you mentioned to remove the duplicates. This had to be done, one folder at a time, to combine each folder. It worked, but I had about thirty-five folders to deal with. The whole process took most of two days to complete. I wish there was a simple way to blend everything together in one action, but I could not find an add-on that would do this.

How can I get Connection(Database Connection)on my backing bean

hello guys!
How can I get the Database Connection on my managed bean?
I want to use this connection for my reports.
thanks a lot!
alvin

Alvin,
You can access the data provider through ADF the binding. The data provider represents the business service you use. Once you have a handle to this you can get the connection.
You don't mention the business service, so I cannot help you more than this. If it is ADF BC, have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/toc.htm and the stored procedure section. Steve Muench explains a trick to access the "real" JDBC connect used by ADF BC

Sending Long Raw Data to Oracle database through Stored Procedure

Hi,
I am trying to push data to Oracle 9i database through Stored Procedure via thin driver. It is going smoothly upto 29411 bytes. But it is not accepting for 53843 bytes and giving following error :
java.sql.SQLException: Data size bigger than max size for this type: 53843
Is it thin driver limitation? Can I solve it by using OCI driver? Or is there any other approach?
I tried creating connection pool in weblogic 7.0 through OCI driver. But I am not able to configure it. Is there any special way of configuration.
Quick response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sanjiv

It happens to me. But I am using CMP of Weblogic 7. If you write your own jdbc code, the following link may be helpful.
