Can two datasources point to the same database?

Can two unique datasource names point to the same MS Access Database?

I got handed a directory of files to set up two coldfusion sites on a new server. What I have is two websites which both have a gallery page with identical contents, see Jembetat.com and SaharaAfricanGallery.com. In the the files I got in the Jembetat directory I have a single database "jembetat.mdb", in SahraAfricanGallery directory I have two databases "jembet.mdb" and "sahara.mdb" The Jembetat site refers to a dsn titled "Jembetat_accesscf_jembetat" pointing to the "jembetat.mdb" and the sahara site to a dsn titled "sahara20049216_accesscf_jembetat". Interestingly enough I believe all three databases are identical. Currently I am pointing the jembetat dsn to the jembetat database in the sahara directory and the sahara dsn to the sahara database in the sahara directory. In my mind however if the client makes a change on one website then he would have to manually change it on the other unless I point poth dsn to the same directory.

Two different WCS instances, pointing to the same database

Hi,
for some unknown reason that came from the architecture fellows, I need to install 02 instances of WCS pointing to the same database server. I mean, both instances would need to "share" the database. They don't want a cluster schema because they need to have the option to deploy the app in one instance and, if wverything is ok, deploy to the remaining instance.
Do you know if such architecture is possible? I did the installation of one instance(instance A), but when trying to install the instance B referring to A's database, I get a ton of errors.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Regards,
Vinicius

Hi,
This is not the way Sites has been designed. Each instance should have their own schema and repository unless the two instances work as a Sites cluster.
So what you're trying to achieve is not possible using your approach. What I could suggest is to install two separate instances on its own, create the necessary data model, asset configurations, templates, etc. in one instance and replicate it to the other instance by publishing it to the other instance using real-time publish. If you use LDAP or any other supported directory server you would be able to use a singe directory for both sites instances.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SHARING MY LIBRARY WITH MY SON. WHAT I DID WIAS CREATED A LIBRARY FOR HIS USE ONLY. IN ITUNES CLICK--FILE--NEW PLAYLIST AND THIS SHOULD ADD AN UNTILED PLAY LIST IN YOUR SIDE BAR. CLICK ON IT AND RENAME IT. HE CAN KEEP ALL OF HIS MUSIC IN THIS LIBRARY. SELECT ALL OF HIS MUSIC FROM YOUR LIBRARY AND DRAG IT INTO HIS. ONCE THIS IS DONE YOU CAN THEN REMOVE HIS SONS FROM YOU PLAY LIST. MAKE SURE YOU ONE REMOVE IT FROM YOUR PLAY LIST AND NOT DELETE THE FILE.

Can two iTunes accounts share the same appleTV simultaneously ?

can two iTunes accounts share the same appleTV simultaneously ?

This should help:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder, but you can place the music elsewhere if you change the access permissions manually (don't start tinkering with permissions unless you're confident you know what you're doing and can reverse things if they get messed up).

Can two Palm devices use the same Hot Sync ID?

Can two Palm devices share the same Hot Sync ID using the same desktop? I presently owe a Treo 700p with a lot of purchased software. I'm considering buying a Palm TX handheld and would like to use both devices using the same Hot Sync ID. Is this possible and should there be any synchronization issues if they are syncing to the same desktop?

You will be assured of unpredictable device behavior, random crashes, spontaneous resets, and other delights described in one of the boxes in the Read This First flyer if you sync two very different device models (phone vs. PDA, different screen sizes, etc.) to the same Hotsync ID on the same computer.
This can be done but you will have to treat each sync as an Upgrade, rename the Backup folder, and reinstall third-party applications, reset your preferences, basically the entire process involving multiple syncs every time you sync. I don't think the headache involved is worth it.
Suggest you decide which third-party apps you want on your second device and get an additional licence and registration from the developers.

Two 9IAS pointing to the same orgin database !!

Hello Guys,
I need to setup such way that
two 9IAS machines will be pointing to
the same origin machine (i.e third m/c) !!!
By doubt is what are products we need to install in the second machine !!!
Let us say in the first machine, I install the following products
Oracle9ias database cache
oracle 9ias forms and reports services
oracle http server in non-ssl mode
oracle 9ias web cache
oracle 9ias portal
oracle 9ias discoverer
oracle management server
Let me guess, what should be install in second machine
Oracle9ias database cache - yes
oracle 9ias forms and reports services - yes
oracle http server in non-ssl mode - yes
oracle 9ias web cache - yes
oracle 9ias portal - no
oracle 9ias discoverer - yes
oracle management server - yes
Please let me know whether my jugement is right or not !!!
I am only scared whether the original products(i.e first machine) will
get updated !!!
Thanks for your time !!!

kishore, I don't see any problem installing iAS on two different machines, if that's what you mean. Whatever you install on the 'second' machine will not affect the first. Since they have the different oraInventory location.

Two folders pointing to the same document

Hi,
can two KM folders point to the same document?
for e.g.
say I have two users 1) a business person 2) a technical person.
I have two folder structures 1) a technical structure 2) a business structure with each having access to the all the folders structures.
say tech folder structure has a folder called ep and business folder structure has a folder called client1. The technical person uploads a document of client1 project that is related to ep in the ep folder that is part of the technical strucure.
How do I make it possible to access the document in both the folders(ep and client1)? I don't want redundant documents as it can cause the changes not to get reflected.

Hi,
You can do that using taxonomies. You upload the document, assign metadata and then by mean TREX index is classified.
You create KM Navigation Iviews to point these taxonomies folders.
You can read about taxonomies: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/6c/5145b1d1de11d6b2cc00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm

OBI 11g and OBI 10g pointing to the same database

Hi guys!
I have a questions. On my PROD server I've installed database and OBI 10g. I want to install now OBI 11G on a separate machine and point repository to the same database.
Is it possible? Will it cause any problems?
With regards,
PsmakR

Hi,
Should not be an issue. When you install 11g, it will create few default schemas, provide your prod db details so that obiee related schemas will reside in prod db.
You should not have any issue in migration.

Two ifs schemas on the same database?

Can I use two different ifs schemas on the same oracle DB for two different IFS instances on two different machines? I don't want to run two databases due to memory issues, but I wanted to run two different ifs schemas (one for development/testing, and one for production). Are there any issues associated with this?

I am not aware of any iFS-specific issues if you are running the database on a separate machine from your middle-tier iFS boxes.
But you will have the standard problems of having one database for development and production (e.g. if you need to bring down the development database for any reason, you impact the production database, since they're the same).
The only problem I can think of related to iFS is that you will be sharing one Context queue, so that if you have any documents loading in from your development environment which cause problems in the queue, your production iFS will suffer.

Can two iCal users edit the same published/shared calendar

Can two iCal users (obviously different mobileMe accounts) edit the same published/shared calendar? I want to have a calendar running which we can both edit remotely but for it to be synced so we both know what each other is doing. Maybe I can share it on my iDisk somehow? I have searched but could not find an answer so I am sorry if this has been covered already !

There is now way to do this using standard MobileMe and iCal. What you could is both share your calendars so that both of you can read each other's calendar.
If you want both to have read-write access to a calendar you will need to use third party software or set up a Google calendar where both of you have read-write access to the calendar.

Can two apple IDs share the same library?

Mac newbie here needs some advice...
I just got a new iMac and have created separate accounts for my husband and me on it. We used to share an apple ID for music, but now I'd like for us to have our own apple IDs especially with the iCloud capabilities I don't want my iPhone stuff going to his Mac account, etc. Problem is that all his music is in my library and he doesn't want to have to re-buy it again. So I figured out that I can share my music library with his account on the iMac, and I have him signed in to iTunes with his separate Apple ID... good so far... but what's going to happen when he buys something? Will it go into my library (as some sort of combined one), or into a separate one?
The other issue I encountered is that when I went to enable automatic synchronization across devices for him, I got a message saying that it was already logged in with another apple ID (I'm assuming it was referring to mine?). That's not good.
I want us both to have totally separate IDs etc, especially for iCloud backups etc, but I wanted to be able to share music libraries. Is that possible? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there. You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password. In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).

Can TWO Editors Work On The SAME Project Separately ??

Have Premier CS3 on XP
We have a heavy edit this week for a film festival.
Can one editor work on part 1 on one PC machine...and another editor work on part 2 on a mac...and then somehow... be able to transfer the mac timeline over to the PC machine for final work.
What special gottcha tricks do I need to know???
We can get both editors to use the same clip names. They will be on different drives...but the same structure...the same directories and filenames exactly on each drive. The Mac version would copy the master clips folder im thinking. Both machines...same raw materials.
Im just concerned that we may forget to do an important step... and not be able to successfully bring all the edit timeline pieces over so they point correctly.
Thanks for your critical tips and tricks
Susan

Should work OK, as long as you're using the same media source for both platforms/projects. In other words, you need to be working with something like DV AVIs or QT DV MOVs with both. One platform will suffer because it's not as tuned to work with the other platform's media, but it's doable. You could capture the same media to each platforms native media (DV AVI on PC, QT DV MOV on Mac), but relinking once you transfer from Mac to PC will be a nightmare. If you're working with something like P2 MXF, though, this will be a breeze--just point to the proper directory and everything will be fine. This is a major benefit of PPro's native handling of such media, IMO.
You could also copy the media over, wholesale, from Mac to PC--I think this is what you're saying now that I'm reading your post again. I'm guessing that in this case, both machines would NOT be working with the same material originally, correct? Just note that you may have file system incompatibilities going from Mac to PC. Mac uses the HFS file system, whereas your PC is probably using NTFS. FAT32 is common to both systems (can be read/written on each) but you're limited in supported file sizes to less than 4GB. If you've got an HFS-formatted external drive you'd be moving to the PC, I recommend
HFS Explorer. It will allow you to mount and extract data from your HFS-formatted disc on the PC. There is also MacDrive, which is more tightly integrated with PC (disks show up as native filesystems in Explorer) but it's not free. Time might be an issue, though, and MacDrive might be the better option. There is a free limited trial, I believe.
Beyond that, just import the Mac-generated project into the PC-generated project, and relink your files. BE SURE TO DO THIS ON A COPY OF YOUR PC PROJECT, just in case the unthinkable happens. From there, the projects should be successfully merged, and you can proceed with final assembly. I would suggest keeping your additional timeline items to a minimum in the Mac project (ie. audio, graphics, titles, etc) just to eliminate possible transfer headaches. I really don't think you'll face an issue, but it could wreck your day if something goes haywire.
Finally, and most importantly, test this out if you value your sanity. This is not something you want to simply "hope" works without any sort of field trial. This should work perfectly well, but I assume to responsibility if it does not!
Good luck...

Hello gdufour,
Actually i've got this configuration:
1.) One serverfarm (farm1).
2.) In this serverfarm, i have two real servers des1 and des2.
3.) The real servers are using VIP 10.24.16.10.
4.) The loadbalance is roundrobin using http with headers.
I want to have:
1.) One new server (a.b.c.d), it can be in the same subnett.
2.) This server don't know if can belong to serverfarm farm1.
2.) When i reach to http://index/url/url1, this has to be to VIP 10.24.16.10.
3.) When i reach the link, the VIP 10.24.16.10 redirect to server a.b.c.d.
4.) When the server a.b.c.d down, the serverfarm farm1 have to take the load of the url.
Is posible this configuration?
Thank you.
Best Regards

Can CF and ASP Access the Same Database?

Hello. I'm about to go into beta with a ColdFusion 8 site I
just wrote, and I've just realized there could be a problem I
haven't anticipated. There's another site, written in ASP, which
will accessing the same data at the same time. The data are in
FoxPro for DOS, which (if I have the terminology right) is a 'file
server' database. Both my site and the ASP site will be accessing
it through ODBC. I will be accessing it on a read only basis, and I
believe the ASP site accesses it read only as well. However, other
employees in the company are constantly accessing it read/write.
The ASP site has been already up and running for some time,
and the office manager (it's a small company) finds that he is able
to avoid conflicts by first stopping the ASP server each morning,
then starting FoxPro, then re-starting the ASP server. (I do not
mean the IIS server, but a little EXE written by the ASP
programmer, which puts up its own little window with 'start' and
'stop' buttons on it.)
However, I find that on my own PC, using the free Developer
version of ColdFusion and accessing my site as localhost, if a DBF
(database file) is opened in FoxPro (even if no one is currently
writing to it), then my CF web site cannot access it, and vice
versa. That is, if I start FoxPro first and open the DBF of
interest, my web site can't access that DBF. And conversely, if I
access it first via my web site, then FoxPro can't access it. In
other words, the solution which works for the office manager and
his ASP site does not work for me with CF on my local PC.
Will matters be different in their system, where I will be
installing my site tomorrow, along with the Standard version of CF
8? If it matters, the FoxPro data and the Web server will be
different boxes linked by a network. The operating system is
Windows 2003 if I recall correctly.
Should I be saying 'Oops!' right about now?
I can probably come up with a workaround by having FoxPro
write a record to an alternate DBF every time the DBF of interest
to my site is updated, but will I have to do this?
Thanks for your help.

Not much that can be done to make the database robust and
handle
simultaneous transactions. But you could wrap all your CFML
that
accesses this resource in named <cflock ...> tags so
that they are
single threaded, thus restricting CF to one access at at
time. Then
wrap all of this up in a <cftry><cfcatch...>
blocks to gracefully handle
when the database is locked up by some other user/process.
You will still have many times when the CF application will
not be able
to access the resource do to locking issues, but it will
handle this
gracefully and not just FAIL.
Of course this will have serious performance, throughput and
scalability
consequences. But I suspect if you are using something like
FoxPro you
are not building an application expected to handle heavy
load.
