Can Crystal Reports, Explorer, and Dashboards co-exist happily on the same server?

Hi All,
We are currently using BO 4.1 SP2. We have two servers: the main borep server that hosts the BI platform, and a second server that only has Explorer on it just now. We want to install CRE and Dashboards on the Explorer server (on our DEV infrastructure) so we can play around with those tools.
Are there any know issues with this approach?
Thanks everyone!!

Thanks Dell, very useful indeed!
Are you sure there is no server component to CR4E? There is a certainly a Crystal application available within BI Launchpad. When I launch it, it pops open a window prompting me to download a crystal for enterprise file with the extension BCPL. Browsing this forum, it seems that you get this message if you've not installed C4E on the borep server.
So I'm not sure what the inbuilt Crystal app is for - only for viewing but not designing reports within Launchpad?
Any ideas?
Thanks again!

Can BO XI and CE 10 be installed on the same server?

We are preparing to upgrade our existing CE 10 to BO XI; however, we were unable to obtain a test server and will need to install it on the same server that CE 10 resides on (our development server). I heard that both versions could not reside on the same server and I need this confirmed by a SME. Thank you. ~emoreno

Tim,
I'm not sure that my question was answered. I just need to know whether CE10 and BO XI can be installed on the same server? I have a development server (not a VM) with CE 10 and another customer wants to install BO XI on the same server. I heard through other sources that BO XI and CE 10 cannot reside on the same server. I need to know if this statement is accurate? If BO XI cannot reside on the same server as CE 10, then our contracted vendor will have to provide t this customer with a different server. I need this information confirmed in order to notify my management.
Thanks...EMoreno

Can VMS 2.1 and LMS 2.1 be installed in same server?

Dear all,
May I know can VMS 2.1 and LMS 2.1 be installed in same server? If so, how about the sequence of installation? If LMS 2.1 is already installed on the server, do I need to install the VMS Common Services? Thanks
Gary

Hi,
In VMS 2.1 bundle, RME and Security Monitoring Center are included. As I know, RME can receive syslog from switch/router/PIX and Security Monitoring Center can receive syslog from PIX. If I install these two applications on the same server, will there be problems about the syslog receive? Will the syslog messages mix-up? Thanks

Can i share music and photos between two users on the same machine?

How can I share my music and photos between two users on the same machine?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

Can BO 5.1.8 and BOXI R2 be installed on the same server?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if BO 5.1.6 and BOXI R2 can be installed on the same server, provided that the hardware is sized to cope with both environments?

Fernando,
Business Objects does not recommend that two different versions of our software be installed on the same server.

How Can I create a cluster of two instances running on the same server?

Hello,
I can't find how to create a cluster or even a failover rule for my two instances running on the same server ODSEE 11gR1.
Could you please help?
Thanks,

Hello,
Clustering (intended as Sun Cluster, Veritas Cluster, etc... ) IS NOT SUPPORTED since 7.0:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20295_01/pdf/821-1216.pdf [page 20]
and, based on my own experience, is the WORST way of achieving high availability of an LDAP Directory Service and an almost GRANTED way to get replication issues in your topology (lock, split, re-init, etc...).
Please use instead the 'application-level' clustering that you get out of the box with the Multi-Master Replication.

Create dev and test instances of Apex on the same server and database

I have a dev and prod instances of Apex on different servers. I want a test instance on the same server as the dev instance.
I am using workspace export/import so all instance workspaces have the same workspace id. The application ID is the same on each instance, in the same workspace. This allows pages to be exported/imported in the differenct instances.
My question is (I am sure it is obvious) can I have more than one instances of Apex on the same database (dev and test) and have each instance have identical Workspace IDs, etc.
Sam

Hi Sam,
But you can have more than one database on the same server.
What we do is create a separate database for each APEX versions we are supporting (we still have a customer using APEX 2.0).
All the databases are accessed with the same APACHE config. All you have to do is change the DAD and have a separate dad for each database (i.e. each APEX versions).
ex : /pls/apex_dev /pls/apex_test
This way , I can run different APEX versions on the same server.

BI and ECC 6.0 installation in the same server

Hello SAP Experts,
I am given a task of installing BI 7.0 and ECC 6.0 in the same server. Can someone suggest me of what are all the Do's and Don'ts in this scenario and what is the hardware requirements.
Thanks & Regards
Vanitha

Hi,
For installing BI, you have to install Netweaver.
You already have ECC 6.0 in the System.
As a part of BI system, you will be extracting data from ECC Ssytem and loading in BW System.
Hence if your requireement is like data is loaed in the the BW System every one hour, it will slow down the ECC System.
In future you may need to do some OS patch update, database patch update which is not required in ECC, but it will effect both systems
I have not seen any scenario where OLTP and OLAP System are in the same box
But if you are just doing for learning purpose and you are doing it in your sand box , that should be fine

Can't play music and be on old network at the same time?

I just want to use this device to play music and connect to my original wireless network. I assume since I'm not using an Airport Extreme to connect to the internet then I can't get the Airport Express to connect either. I can't listen to music and be online at the same time the way it is currently configured. Is there another way to set this up so I can connect to my airport on itunes and play music while being on my other wireless network?

Try Doing a hard Reset your Express and go through the setup procedure again.
This time making sure your joining your existing network.

Can't a BufferedReader and a BufferedWriter be open at the same time?

To the experienced:
I am writing a class to selectively extract data from an Excel file, and write out to a plain text file. I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.
It works fine and writes out the output file as expected when reading data from the spreadsheet and directly writing to the output file.
However, I need to convert the data in one of the columns based on a conversion table. The conversion table is a plain text file that has two columns separated by a space. I read in the conversion table using a BufferedReader and put it in a HashMap for use. However, once the Buffered Reader and the HashMap are introduced, the BufferedWriter does not work any more.
The way the class works is that, the main() method (not shown here) reads data from the Excel sheet into a List, and then calls the method showExcelData() (as shown below) to write out data from the List to a plain text file.
When the green color code was not added, the output file was written to the disk fine. A sample line from the output file is:
JOHN:DOE:11223344:12345:20110824By adding the green code, I expect it to output the line as:
JOHN:DOE:11223344:STUDENT:20110824The problem is, after the green code is added, the output file the program writes to the disk is zero size.
I added the System.out.println() lines for troubleshooting. These lines show that the BufferedWriter out is not null, and the conversion is actually taking place. But out.write() simply does not work. Commenting out the green code, the program is working again - of course, without date conversion for that column.
There must be something wrong but I can not see where it is wrong.
Your help is very much appreciated!

Hi, All,
This posting is at the bottom of the stack. Quite a few more postings were added on top of this and solved, and now I reach back to this one.
The main problems are:
1. Close the I/O buffer after finishing using it. Otherwise the data in the buffer do not get flushed to the file on the disk. I think that is the cause of the problem of getting zero sized output file.
2. Do not count on Excel to stop at a blank cell by using Ctrl-down / Ctrl-up. The file I am processing is produced by some reporting program which, I think, instead of skipping the cell, puts a zero-sized string in it. Obviously, Excel does not stop at such cells. I had checked the columns using the Ctrl-down/Ctrl-up key and through that column did not have blank cells. Sharp-eyed gimbal2 spotted the problem, and led me to re-inspect the column by using up/down arrow keys instead, and found the blank cells. Such empty strings are used in my code as key in searching the map (String role = liveMap.get(titleCode).toUpperCase();) and caused the problem.
And the lesson is, when doing some quick and dirty tests, do not get too quick and too dirty, which can end up slower rather than faster.
Many thank to all of you for giving me the helping hand!

HT4437 Can't get iTunes and monitor mirroring to work at the same time.

When I turn on my airplay on itunes it turns off the airplay from my monitor. I don't know how I've done it before but I sometimes can't play itunes and have it mirror my screen at the same time so I can use the visualizer. Whenever I turn one on, the other shuts off. I've done it before. Is there a specific sequence you need to run itunes and have the mirroring work too?

How can I keep left- and right-aligned paragraphs together on the same line?

I am currently trying to typeset a menu. Basically, I want the Dish Title to be left-aligned and the Price right-aligned — but on the same line. I can achieve the effect by typing in a shift+tab after the Dish Title text and then inserting the price, but I would rather have two distinct paragraphs styles, so that I can adjust them globally to see what looks good. I can achieve the effect by adjusting the Price character baseline of the price and moving it up, but then if I need to make any price changes, I find it a pain trying to get the cursor in the right place in situations where a baseline is substantially altered.
Back in the old days (in Ventura!!), I could just remove the line break after the "Dish Title" style and the "Price" would move up to the same line, but I can't seem to be able to do this in CS6.
Any ideas?

Please show some examples. It's easier to help you.
If I understand right, use a paragraph style with a right aligned tab and nested styles and grep styles. That's extremly flexible.
Have fun

Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

Findings:
Currently, Windows 2012 R2 AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
the roles until it works. This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
This blog needs serious revision:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system. They refunded my money for the support call.
For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
use it).
I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you need any other assistance?
Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
