CDE File Manager - associated file

I am not familiar with Solaris.
Now I have SunOS 5.8, and login into CDE (common desktop environment).
I run File Manager, then I can see iconic pictures at the left.
If I double-click a file, it will open the related application.
The action taken when you open an icon depends on the type of icon.
For example, opening a data file usually starts the Text Editor, opening a HTML file starts the Netscape.
It is just like associated file at File Explorer of Windows 2000.
How does it work? Can I change the associated file?
Regards,
Vicky

For server Eagle-PROD-Instance, the Node Manager associated with machine

I have a wlst script that creates a domain and a managed server. I associate the server with a machine that's attached to a node manager. It creates the managed server fine but when I try and start it I get this error
For server Eagle-PROD-Instance, the Node Manager associated with machine Eagle-Machine is not reachable.
All of the servers selected are currently in a state which is incompatible with this operation or are not associated with a running Node Manager or you are not authorized to perform the action requested. No action will be performed.
The machine is associated with the Node Manager and the NM is running. I can start the managed server from the command line, but not from the admin console
This is the script, am I missing something?
Thanks

Actually the cert is coming from your Dev machine but it is sending the Prod cert.
What cert is used by your admin server ? It should match the host name.
So your Dev machine is apparently using a copy of the prod cert / keystore rather than using its own DEV cert. It's not clear from your post whether this is the nodemanager using the wrong cert, or the managed server. So both should be checked.
The managed servers need to be using a cert that matches their host name. If you have a managed server on VM-BEA-DEV, then the cert needs to be CN=VM-BEA-DEV. You can also use a load-balancer CN name in the cert if you have the cluster's HTTP values set to match.
In your nodemanager.properties, are you explicitly accessing keystores, such as with:
KeyStores=CustomIdentityAndJavaStandardTrust
CustomIdentityAlias=some_alias
CustomIdentityKeyStoreFileName=some_path_to_keystore
CustomIdentityKeyStorePassPhrase={3DES}...
CustomIdentityKeyStoreType=jks
CustomIdentityPrivateKeyPassPhrase={3DES}
In my multi-machine clusters, I have multiple certificates such as:
admin machine1:
has a cert for use by the admin server and NM that matches the host name ( with node manager.properties entries such as the above )
has a 2nd cert that matches the load-balancer name for the cluster - used by the managed servers
all other machines:
has a cert for use by NM that matches the host name ( with node manager.properties entries such as the above )
has a 2nd cert that matches the load-balancer name for the cluster - used by the managed servers

For server the Node Manager associated with machine is not reachable

Hello all,
I am getting this error, when i start my Managed Server which is in shutdown state
For server SAA-Dev-1, the Node Manager associated with machine vm-bea-dev is not reachable.
All of the servers selected are currently in a state which is incompatible with this operation or are not associated with a running Node Manager. No action will be performed.
The configuration details are
i am using weblogic 9.2 MP3 version in windows 2k3 server.
It has a machine vm-bea-dev, a cluster cluster-saa-dev, to which both the managed servers saa-dev-1 and saa-dev-2 are assigned. There are 3 applications deployed onto managed Server 1 and 1 for managed Server 2.
Managed Server 1 is in shutdown state, and when i start the server, it gives the error specified below
For server SAA-Dev-1, the Node Manager associated with machine vm-bea-dev is not reachable.
All of the servers selected are currently in a state which is incompatible with this operation or are not associated with a running Node Manager. No action will be performed.
The same for Managed Server 2 too, and this server is in Admin State, i dont know how it went into that state.
Can somebody please help me reslove it.
Thanks in advance

Managed association commit order

I am in the process of implementing a managed association for
a person with many addresses. The association seems to work for all
my test cases, except when I create a person with an address (at
the same time). It attempts to create the address before the
person, which means the foreign key to the person isn't set since
the person hasn't been created. If I save the person first (without
an address) and then add the address, it works as expected. Updates
and deletes also work.
I have setup the following:
- In the data-management-config.xml I have a destination for
the person with a one-to-many reference to the address.
- The address and person classes both have the [Managed] tag.
- A DataService for the person points to the person
destination.
I have stepped through the save in debug mode, and can see
that after the commit() command on the person DataService there is
a "call" variable that contains an array of
mx.data.messages.DataMessages. The first position of the array
points the address destination (the child), and the second points
to the person destination (the parent).
How do I get the parent destination to go first?

Yes, TopLink documentation says nothing about that and I can test it. But even if all my unit tests say all that the registration order is the UoW commit order, it can be by chance and not a real guaranty.
So no other information or idea about my question ?

Bash CDE file manager problem

I have the following problem:
I use the CDE and the bash shell. If I start a bash terminal from the file manager file menu, the environment variables are not set correctly. The entries made in the file /etc/profile are just ignored.
However, the following works correctly:
-if I start the bash terminal from the CDE toolbar
or
-if I use the bourne shell (both variants file manager and CDE toolbar work)
It seems that the file manager is not receiving the correct environment information from the CDE.
Thanks for any help.

CDE File Manager - dtfile

Ive installed Solaris8 for x86 on a PIII 450MHZ PC.
Everything seems to run fine except for the file manager.
When the file manager in CDE is used CPU usage goes to 100% the file list doesnt appear and the system is very sluggish. To recover I have to do a ps -e | grep dtfile and kill those processes, usually 2 or 3. The file manager
is useless so far. Are there any patches ( Ive installed the latest patch cluster) that specifically alleviate this problem or is it a configuration issue.

CDE Window Manager configuration problem (Sol 8)

Hi
I have a strange problem with CDE. After having a proper PC instalation done, as I log in the CDE I get black background and only 2 windows ( a kind of help window and the File Manager) The windows don't have title bars, cannot be moved ot whatever. Now, I seems to me that the window manager failed to start. Since I'm new to Solaris, can anybody give me a hint where I can find the configuration scripts and error logs.
Thanks
Val

if it were me I'd check /var/dt/Xerrors (Xservers log file)
$HOME/.dt/errorlog & startlogs for clues ... this is where CDE would log
problems.
However you mentioned PC so I'll assume you are using ReflectionsX,
Exceed
or similar, all come with a log file and trace utility via the Xconfig
screen
which maybe worth your while looking into ?
As to the window manager failing to start .... the process is called
dtlogin
and on the Solaris server you should see one parent process + 1 child per
remote display if things are working correctly.
Gotcha's : most likely problems are caused by either Fonts - check PC
Xemulation log files or hostname resolution problems.

Broken Cisco Unity / Unified Communications Manager association

We have several Cisco Unity Connection users with the following status in their profiles:
"This user's association to the co-resident Cisco Unified Communications Manager user has been broken.
Please Click Here to reassociate the orphaned user."
Clicking on the reassociation button does not show any of the users with broken associations, just a few resource users.
Is there any way to reassociate these users with CUCM without having to delete them in Unity Connection along with their mailboxes?

These are the steps I took to resolve the issue. I was particularly concerned about users losing saved messages in their voicemail. The posted solution did not give much detail on what to do.
1) Create a new user in CUCM. For example, I have a user called 'John Doe' in the system. I created a new one called 'John Doe2'.
2) After creating the user I associated 'John Doe2' to the phone in use by 'John Doe'. Then I set the Primary Extension as needed for that user. Hit the 'Save' button and verify that the 'Create Cisco Unity User' option shows up in the drop-down box in the right hand corner.
3) Log into Cisco Unity Connection Administration, and select 'John Doe'. Click on the link to re-associate and select 'John Doe2'. This links the Unity user to the CUCM user.
4) Log back into CUCM and select 'John Doe' from the user list. Remove all device associations from the user. Hit Save, then delete the user.
5) Select 'John Doe2' and rename the user as 'John Doe'.
These steps fixed my problem. I had to do it for all the users whose association was broken. One note to make is that the voicemail PIN is automatically reset to the default I believe, which is 0000. Other than that voicemail continues to work normally and users don't have to redo their greetings and such.

For that number of sections, you may want to consider leveraging an MVC framework like Mate ( http://mate.asfusion.com/ ). Mate (and, in general, most MVC frameworks) is more about application structure than application layout, but it provides some really useful guidelines for organizing your code for maintainability and testability.

Problem with opening files in CDE

Hi!
I have a problem with CDE. When I login as a normal user (not root) I can not open any file in my home directory or in its subfolders using dtfile (CDE File Manager).
When I double click on a text file I get the following error message:
The request to service this action has failed for the following reason:
TT_DESKTOP_ENOENT No such file or directory.
However I am able to read the file with a cat/pico command. It is also possible to open it from Text Editor. => The file exists.
PS. It might be a problem with automonting /export/home/user to /home/user, but I am not sure. I did not meet this problem in previous versions of Solaris.
SYSTEM USED: Solaris 10 x86 / CDE 1.6
Please help!

To test the automount hypothesis, you could create
a new user with a home directory someplace completely different and NFS-free, like /opt
useradd -m -d /opt/testuser -s /bin/bash testuser
passwd testuser
Then login to CDE as the user.
It does sound like there's something broken with $HOME/.dt
cheers

Importing freedesktop file associations into various file managers

I love light FMs that don't rely on HAL (or rather, don't rely on it AND don't make me mess around with XML files to get them working). But file associations in most of them are a pain.
- ROX makes you set up associations one by one
- So does tuxcmd, as far as I can tell
- Emelfm2 comes with assocations, but doesn't pay attention to what you have installed
- XFE is probably the best, it lets you associate various broad types of files (audio, video, etc.) with an application... But unusual filetypes still need to be associated manually.
My thought is: the .desktop files are already there, in /usr/share/applications. Can I import associations from those?
ROX I already know can do that, albeit in a kind of crippled fashion, with perl-mime-info. That doesn't seem to work for the other three though.
If I had to guess, I'd say XFE didn't support importing associations, since it makes things the least painful. Tuxcmd I'm not sure about, I'd think it would given that it starts out with all of two associations, generic file and generic directory...
Emelfm2 on the other hand appears to have some way of importing .desktop file info. However, the website is down and Google's cached version won't load, so that's all I know.
Does anyone know more about dealing with .desktop files in the above FMs?

You could take a look at mimeo (for opening files) and mimeman (for managing associations).
Mimeman lets you set associations (including defaults) using globbing and regexes so you can avoid most manual work. Mimeo respects associations set by mimeman as well as those in .desktop files. If you can get your file manager to use mimeo for everything then you should be able to get consistent behavior.
Mimeo also supports an arbitrary association list that is based on argument strings rather than mimetypes, which allows it to open e.g. URLs.

How to design Flat file for loading attribute dimension in a planning application

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement to extract attribute dimensions from an essbase application and load it to another planning application. I have a dimension called Program and two attribute dimensions Sales Manager, Accounts manager associated with Program dimension in Essbase application. I will Extract these dimensions using Essbase outline extractor. After Extracting the attribute dimensions I have to load these dimensions to planning applications using outline load utility. Kindly guide me how to design the flat file for loading attribute dimensions in planning application.
Thanks and Regards
SC

You could dig through the docs and try to figure out the file format manually, or you could do this the easy way. Simply use the Outline Load Utility to export your attribute dimension from Planning. The export file format is the same as the import file format. You might have to manually add a couple of test members to your attribute dimension so that your export file has some content. Then simply update the file you exported, and import it.
(I am assuming you have already manually created the Attribute dimension in Planning, and that you simply need to add members to it.)
Hope this helps,
- Jake

When is Photoshop going to support RAW files for the new Nikon D750?

When is Photoshop going to support RAW files for the new Nikon D750?

You can always monitor the forum for announcements. My experience has been that I have been automatically notified when the official updates are available. I'm using Photoshop CS6, and the application manager associated with that program always notifies me when there is an update available. You can go ahead and install the release candidate now, and still install the official release when it comes.

After I do Node Manager nmConnect(...) I can no longer start a managed svr

I am running 10.3.2 on both windown and redhat
I have a domain with AdminServer and one managed server.
I can start AdminServer from the shell with startWebLogic.cmd
I can log into the web based 'console'
I can go to Environment -> Servers and start/shutdown the managed server.
If I use WLST and...
connect('user', 'pass', 't3://localhost:7001')
nmEnroll('fullPathToDomainDir')
I am still OK, I can still use the console to start and stop the managed server and I can so WLST start('managedSever')
I stop running the AdminServer from the shell - it is no longer running.
Now, I want to start the AdminServer with Node Manager, so (with WLST)...
nmConnect('user','pass','localhost','5556','domainName)
I get the error...
'Cannot connect to Node Manager: Access to domain 'domainname' for user 'user' denied
As suggested elsewhere, I go and edit nm_password.properties and change the hashed user/pass to
username=user
password=pass
I go back to WLST, now nmConnect works!!!
I can then do..
nmStart('AdminServer')
The AdminServer start, I go to the web console, and I try to start the managed server, I get...
'For server managedServer, the Node Manager associated with machine machineName is not reachable'
So it looks like the re-hashed password from nmConnect(...), while it works for WLST, it no longer works for the console.
Bottom line, I can get either get the console to start the managed server (if I do WLST connect(...) + nmEnroll(...)) or I can get WLST to start the servers (if I reset nm_password.properties and do nmConnect), but I can not get WLST to start the AdminServer and have the AdminSever console start the managed server.
I know for a fact that others have run into this, but in the threads I found, the thread stops before a soluton is posted.
Anyone know about this issue?
Regards

There are a couple of things you need to keep in mind:
-- There is one and only one valid username / passwrod for connecting to the node manager.
-- When you use nmEnroll, the username / password placed in the nm_password.properties file is taken from the admin server, hashed an placed in the nm_password file.
-- When you edit the nm_password.properties, and place the line "enter in username=user / password='pass',", in clear text, you have over ridden the U/P \thje admin server knows.
That is why you have a situation, oen of the two works but never both at the same time.
What you need to do is:
-- Log in to the WL Console.
-- in the Domain Tree, click at teh root level, which is the domain name.
-- Under the security tab, under advanced there is a node manager username / password.
-- Click on "Lock and edit", and change those to match what you are using through WLST.
-- Activate changes.
-- Just to make sure all is well, use nmEnroll to re enroll the node manager again , this way the nm_password.properties file will be set up correctly.
Now, both the WL Console should be able to talk to the node manager as well as nmConnect('user','pass','localhost','5556','domainName) would succeed.
Also, if you want to use node manager to start /servers, make sure you edit the file ( $WL_HOME/common/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties) and change the line
StartScriptEnabled=false
to
StartScriptEnabled=true
This will ensure all the proper class paths and properties etc needed are set up when using the node manager.
You would need to bounce the node manager for this change t take effect
Hope this helps.

Installer, application manager and camera raw plug in issues

Hi - I need help.
I'm running on Windows 7. I have just upgraded Photoshop to CS5.5 from CS4 (on my laptop not a creative cloud version). I have since uninstalled Photoshop CS4. I was trying to install the camera raw plug in 6.7.1 but it would not install and I got a message saying that the application manager was damaged and to download it again. I have downloaded the application manager file but cannot install it. I am getting the "installer failed to initilize" message. I've read through the forums on this and cannot find a solution.
I have extracted the file so I am not trying to open a zip file. I have downloaded a second time to a different location and tried installing again while logged into creative cloud but got the same message. I saw the comment about deleting the Adobe/OOBE folder and trying again but was wary about doing this as I don't know what this folder is. Can someone tell me what this is and why I would delete it?
I don't think I had this issue before I uninstalled CS4. I think I had already downloaded a camera raw plug in for that version. So I am wondering if deleting CS4 caused the issue.
I then downloaded CS6 cloud version thinking that perhaps I would get application manager installed correctly within that. I have now been able to install the camera raw plug in and this is now working in CS5.5 but strangely still cannot run the setup.exe for the application manager (So perhaps it is just a problem with Installer?).
Can someone tell me if application manager is just relevant for cloud based products or is it required for desktop versions as well? Could creative cloud be interferring with my desktop version? Where can I find the application manager files? If I uninstall CS6 will I have the same problem with application manager not working in future? I do not really want to use a cloud based version (CS6) and don't want to keep unnecessary programs on my laptop.I signed up to Creative Cloud when both desktop and cloud versions were supported and may not continue when my subscription expires.
To fix this problem without CS6 do I need to reinstall CS5.5? (To do this I will have to reinstall CS4 as it was an upgrade version). Would just reinstalling CS4 fix the problem? Can I just reinstall the application manager part of either of these or is there a simpler solution?
Thanks in advance as I am not super tecchie and am running out of ideas.

Hi
I have Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection but have only installed Photoshop and Bridge ( this includes files associated with that install). Since installing that I have also installed Photoshop 6 (with Bridge etc).
The issue I had in Photoshop 5.5 was I was unable to read files from Canon EOS 5D Mark 2. I was trying to install the camera raw plug in 6.7.1 to fix this. I got a message saying that the application manager was damaged and to download it again. I downloaded the application manager file (adobe application manager 8) but couldn't install it. I got an "installer failed to initilize" message.
So I downloaded CS6 to see if that would fix the application manager issue. I have now been able to install the camera raw plug 6.7.1 and this is now working in CS5.5. So the initial problem is fixed for now but what I want to know is -
- Is the Application Manager associated with the version or does it stand alone as a separate file?
- If I now uninstall Photoshop 6 will the Application Manager uninstall also, or will it continue to work in 5.5?
- What is the best way to uninstall version 6 - should I do this through Application Manager not Windows Control Panel? I cannot see where to do this.
The Adobe site says to start AAM by :
Choose Help > Updates in a Creative Suite 5 product.
Double-click PDApp.exe in the following locations: Windows 64 bit: \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\
If I chose Help in Photoshop 5.5 - the update option is greyed out and not available.
If I follow the second option I get the Creative Cloud Application Manager (version 9) offering me updates for version Photoshop 6 only.
How can I find out if I have a working Application manager for 5.5?
What is the best way to uninstall version 6?
You are right I have found folders / files which need to be cleaned up from CS4 eg: plug ins and a lot of empty folders. What is the best way to clean up these - can I just delete them in Windows Explorer?
Sorry this is long - I am learning as I go
