Check services availability

Hi all,
it there any implementation to check the OBIEE services availability?
There is any service down, (e.g. BI Servers is down), I would like to hide the OBIEE login page and show another message board let the users know
"The OBIEE is not available. Please visit again later or contact the administrator"
Is it possible to develop a web application to monitor the OBIEE services and show the corresponding message above?
Thank you!

Hi,
Have you check user resource status:
$GRID_HOME/crsctl stat res -t
If crsd.bin can not start any of the above agents properly, user resources may not come up. A common cause of agent failure is that the log file or log directory for the agents don't have proper ownership or permissions.
Best regards,
Rafi.

Forms Services availability checking for BIGIP Load Balancer

We are load balancing across a number of 10.1.2.2 Forms servers using a BIGIP load balancer. Currently our load balancing is done based on which server has the "least connections" to the BIGIP. So far we have been using the following test URL to allow BIGIP to check the availability of the Forms Services on each server.
http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status
This works well however it only checks through to the HTTP level within Forms Services. We encountered a problem when the Forms Services failed to work on a particular server however the above URL showed that everything was OK. The effect of this was that all new users attempting to login were directed to the failed server as this server had the "least number of connections".
After raising an SR with Oracle they advised that the forking of runtime processes had probably failed and this was not detectable by the load balancer with the above URL. So they have recommended a number of options for checking the status of the Forms Services. These are:
a) http://server:port/forms/frmservlet
This loads the default Form and therefore by definition tests the forking of runtime processes. However BIGIP is unable to automatically process the information to distinguish whether the service is up or down. Oracle recommended that if using this method we would need to customise BIGIP to handle the various FRM-xxxx error codes.
b) http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?userid=scott/tiger@YOURDB&form=yourtestform.
fmx
Even more thorough would be to actual log on to the database using a test form as above.
My question is does anyone out there have experience in checking Forms Services availability using these last two methods as I'm not sure how to customize the load balancer so that it can handle the output of these URLs. Also when using the original URL is it normal to load balance using a "least connections" method or do people out there use a different algorithm.
Thanks for any help/advise that you can give.
Regards,
Philippe

Well SR followed up and it looks like the only course of action is to use the standard HTTP check: http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status ...
... unless that is you want to do some serious customisation. Oracle don't support any other form of checking.
I'm guessing from the lack of responses to this thread that this hasn't been an issue for anybody else ... ???
Any thoughts/suggestions really welcome as we go into production in 4 weeks.
a) What do people recommend for load balancing Forms ... least connection, round robin ... ?
b) Do people use http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status or have some of you used something else?
Thanks,

Any service available on net to check valid email addresses?jwenting, help.

Is there any 100% reliable service available on net to check the valid email address so that the mail should not get bounced back if sent to the email id.
According to jwenting in previous topic, there is one service. Here are his quotes.
Spammers would love to have such a
service. Just send random combinations to that
service at a rate of a hundred thousand a minute and
you have in a few hours a complete list of all
working addresses on the net.
Good enough that you can repeat the process before
every run and you're never getting bounces again.Could anybody explain what is meant by this?

He's saying "No there is no such service". It would provide yet another haven for crappy spammers.

Alessandro, I'm experiencing almost the same kind of error as described before. However, in my case trx SLDCHECK (executed from the XI server and from the SAP application system) also generates errors. The error Im getting is as follows:
Testing SLD API
An exception has ocurred
Description: Exception in SLD Client: AbapaSLDRequestHandler.ping() server connection *** failed ***
Summary: Connection to SLD does not work
=> Check SLD function and configurations
I have to say that the SLD home page from Integration Builder works correctly and when SLDCHECK is executed the browser opens the correct url and loads the page.
I have followed all congiguration steps (maintain SLD details with trx SLDAPICUST, maintain HTTP and TCP/IP destinations, activate XI services, etc..) mentioned in the SAP documentation, however the problem persists.
Thanks in adavnce for any feedback!
Thanks, Roberto

Testing Forms Services availability with Hardware Load Balancer

I have posted a question about load balancing to a group of application services running Forms Services here on the Forms forum but have had no reply:
Forms Services availability checking for BIGIP Load Balancer
My basic questions are:
a) What do people recommend for load balancing Forms ... least connection, round robin ... ?
b) Do people use http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?ifcmd=status or have some of you used something else?
My reason for the question is we had a Forms Services failure that was not detected by the ifcmd servlet as the HTTP side of things was still working. This meant that the BIGIP load balancer sent everything to the failed server as it had the least connections. So basically no-one could logon.
I've raised an SR with Oracle but they recommend the standard URL above. Has anyone else had a problem like this and if so were you able to fix it?
Regards,
Philippe

Unable to check for available downloads.

I've been getting the message, "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." all September long and I'm not sure how to fix it.
I've been told by iTunes support that it should be up within 24 hours but it's been over 500 hours so far.
I've been told maybe my iTunes is out of date but I have the most recent.
I've also been told it's my ISP/ net connection but I have no problems downloading some things.
I have had 40 items unable to be downloaded for a while and that annoyed me but tonight I tried downloading 5 more songs and then I had to accept a new 'Terms of Service' so I did and then those 5 ended up with the 5 others in some kind of file purgatory.
Not sure how much this could help but iTunes Support doesn't seem to care and they just told me to ask here instead of them.

And how do you check each pending download? My download screen has absolutely nothing on it. At the bottom of it there is "16 iTunes Downloads Available." I click on the download button next to it and get the same error: "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." Help, I just bought an app I'm dying to play on my iPod!

Hi Sam,
In BBP_PD, enter BUS object as BUS2121, enter object id as SC number. Go to the details of the cart by selecting the hyperlink. Once you are inside the cart, I checked the workflow doing the following:
-- choose 'Services for Objects' (top left icon).

Overview' -> 'Display Workflow Log' ->'Technical Details' (Shift + F9)
Can you check the same?

Not the normal "unable to check for available downloads"

This is my problem: I had my iTunes running for about a week now, during which i have purchased passes and music. These are the regular items that would be updated daily. The thing is i have not been able to get iTunes to get the updates(there have have been an outstanding of 10 of these) and i have not been able to download my music either... It's not a firewall problem because i still can download and receive podcast. I have check automatic settings as well as attempting manual updating, neither works providing "Unable to check for available downloads." I attempt downloading the updates through the email links... which shows that i have updates but when loaded the iTunes nothing happens. This is ongoing for the past 48+ hours.... Please help?

I have the same problem, going on five days and 8 backed-up downloads.
I contacted them and they have not been able to help me even though they've tried.
I am pretty much 99% sure it's not my computer/internet/firewall that is the problem. I didn't change anything and this suddenly happened.
msconfig showed no conflicts and diagnostics ran clean.
I am very frustrated.
I have checked elsewhere and one online forum said that a digital booklet might be holding up the queue. Have customer service delete it and reinstate it to the back of your queue. I don't think I have a booklet downloading (I'm really not sure) but I DO know SOMETHING is holding my DLs up. I'll edit this again to let you know if that was the problem. I just sent them another message.

How to measure Lync Service Availability?

Hi there
I need to understand how others measure Lync service availability? I have following setup in my environemnt where I have:
1x Lync front end server
1x Lync Persistent Chat server
1x SQL instance
2x Lync Edge server (redundant)
1x Lync Mediation server (not yet in place)
There are many values monitored over the monitoring but does anyone have any idea how to bring all these unstructured data into a meaningfull service availability?
Your help/proposals are very welcome.

agmah

Hi AGMAH,
If you want to see service status of computers run Lync Server in your topology, you can check it in Lync Server Control Panel.

TV Shows Season Pass New Episodes Gone from Check for Available Downloads

I was informed today from iTunes Support that new episodes that become available will no longer come through the Store > Check for Available Downloads option in iTunes. If you notice in your email alerts for the new episode's availability, it now says the new episode is found in your Purchased items in Itunes in the Cloud.
I was also told that if I checked the options "show iTunes Purchases in the Cloud" in iTunes > Preferences > Store tab, that I could just see the new episodes in my Library under TV Shows. I used to have this option and could access the new episodes and download them this way, but that option is now GONE as well from iTunes. I am awaiting feedback from my Senior Support Rep as to what is wrong there.
I have been simply going to the iTunes Store > Purchased > TV Shows and clicking the "Not on this computer" option in the upper right. I have to go show by show and click "Download" or "Download All". I have almost 15 Season Passes at any one time. This is a completely horrible way of downloading them.
When the new episodes were evailable via the "Check for Available Downloads" Option, I had my iMac scheduled to restart every morning around 4am Central. That was about 2 hours after the date/time stamp of the email notifications. Since iTunes was always set to start at login, it would automatically check for available downloads, and then download all the new episodes. I then had a cloning process scheduled that would clone my primary iTunes Media drive to a backup iTunes Media drive. That way if one fails I always have an up to date copy.
This new method totally screws up how slick this whole process worked. I understand streaming and the cloud is the direction they are taking here, but this is completely an about face. I want the new episodes available locally. I want it downloaded when I am asleep and always available locally when I want to watch. That way I dont have to worry about my internet availability. Storm can knockout my internet. The construction down the road can cut the optical cable. I may loose my internet due to a problem with the ISP. Having the files locally allows me to watch them worry free, buffer free, and when I want to.
I urge those who are annoyed by this change to provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I really hope this decision to remove this functionality is not a sign to come. Next I will be downloading each song one by one when I buy an album because I can just stream it in the cloud.
I love my Apple products and servies. But this totally makes me hate them right now.

I am so angry right now I can not even see straight. So the "Show iTunes Purchases Option" out of the blue showed up in iTunes this morning. I dont know if a reboot fixed it or what. But the attached screen shows the lack of that feature along with the iTunes version.
So I am not freaking crazy. So I turned it on this morning to pick up 3 new episodes. I get home tonigth and sit down on my couch with my Apple TV ready to roll... and it has completely screwed my "watched" vs "unwatched" episodes. I come to my iTunes library on my iMac and sure enough TV Shows and Movies I know I have not watched or started are marked as watched.
I have not watched a single episode of The Following Season 1, and it basically shows I have watched all but the latest 4 shows. I have not watched the last several episodes of Revenge, and it says I have not watched only the last episode. I am guessing as to where I left off, but it looks like Episode 13 was the last episode I watched and iTunes said I had only not watched Episode 19. Vikings Season 1 - I have not watched a single show, but it shows I have watched all but the last 2 episodes, 8 & 9.
Movies - I have bought and downloaded many movies that I have not watched as of yet. For instance: Django Unchainted, and all 3 Matrix Movies. I have watched a couple of the Matrix movies but not all the way through. But I had gone back and marked them as "unwatched" Everything else I had not even touched to hit play or nothing. These are all purchases.
I hunted down all the episodes and movies I knew I had not watched... which took me quite a while... and then when I close and re-open iTunes and at least the watched/unwatched TV shows stayed as I marked them. This was not the case when this feature was first rolled out with iTunes 11. That is exactly why I never used this feature in the first place. Time will tell if it remains stable with the watch/unwatched situation.
Regardless, I am so tired of taking time out of my day and writing iTunes support and giving Apple feedback so they can perhaps look into it and see if its a larger issue than just my library. So they can also maybe realize that some of us actually love their product and want to see them continue to working awesome, slick, and incredible. But as someone who is looking at 8 active season passes.... I may never buy a season pass from iTunes again. The reason why EVERYONE still has a TV antenna and/or cable is because the basic concept of how you watch the programming DOESNT CHANGE. They should take this feedback simply as TV shows are not like Movies and Music. TV shows happen weekly. Having a consistent and repeatable process to get the shows and watch them each week is paramount.
I am usually very good with change and enhancements. But this one.... has completely made me an irate Apple Customer.

I can't seem to download anything on my iTunes when I use Check for available downloads. I have preorders that I can't download cos it just says 'iTunes store temporarily unavailable' even tho when I actually go on iTunes itself it work fine..

I've been in contact with Apple support team regarding this issue. I have about 9 items available for download(preorders mostly) but it's not listed under download. When I click on Check for available download, a message with 'iTunes temporarily unavailable' appears but when I go to the iTunes store itself, its working just fine. I've already been charged twice for the same movie which Apple have kindly refunded me for one of them but I still haven't managed to download that movie yet. Apple says its a problem with my computer and given me all sort of ways to rectify the issue and still no hope. Everything else seems to work just fine including the actual iTunes store, wifi syncing and cable syncing etc. Can somebody help me with this if you know how to solve this problem or if you've had the same issue now or before?
I am using the latest Software updates on my iTunes and these 9 items were purchased whilst on this new updates

Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart your computer, launch iTunes.
Click Store > Check for Available Downloads...

HT1725 When I click on a Movie I get the following "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu." Then get err = 11111

iTunes quit unexpectedly during the download of a movie. When I click on that movie now I get the following message: "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu."
I follow the instructions, but the download still doesn't resume - err = 11111
Any advice?

Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon. Click those and you get an error message about connecting to iTunes, etc. as described in the article I linked to above.
It gets stranger than this. If I install a completely NEW app, the 6 that are stuck mid-update heal themselves and appear with the new version only, however now completely different apps (Hold Em for instance - which I did not update and didn't need an update) will not launch "app name Cannot Launch" message comes up.
Agh!

"Unable to check for available downloads" since upgrade to 8.1

It appears a number of people are having this problem but are all under different headings...
I can purchases new music/items and have them download right away, but it appears anything that was waiting for me to download prior to the upgrade to 8.1 is stuck somewhere. When checking for Downloads (no matter which way you do it) I get an error that says "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable."
Troubleshooting guides suggest ensuring your firewall is allowing all permissions appropriately... I even turned them to "ask for permission" so that I would know it was trying. No luck.
When is Apple going to recognize there's a problem? If I can purchase new items and get them to download right away, clearly there is no issue with ISP or Firewall.

Having the same issue. I even downloaded a rental last night to have it disappear this morning and it says I have purchased the rental but never downloaded it. I have played with all network settings include as open as possible and no luck.

Use of 'Item' Check box available in 'Additional Authorization Creator'

What is the use of the 'Item' Check box available in 'Additional
Authorization Creator' document?
B1 Help States that:
Item
Defines the object as an item rather than a form.
Permissions set to form apply to all its subordinates. Permissions set to an item do not apply to the parent form.
My requirement is as follows:
I want to restrict a particular user from accessing the 'Logistics' tab
of the Purchase order.
1. I opened the 'Additional Authorization Creator' and added the 'PO
Logistics Tab' in the description window.
2. In the Forms Ids, i have mentioned as '114' (Form Id of Logistic
Tab)
3. Now I went to the authorizations screen and in the
UserAuthorization, I selected ''PO Logistics Tab' and set this to 'No
Authorization' for user named 'Raman'.
4. When I logged inwith user 'Raman', still I could access
the 'Logistics Tab' of the PO.
Please explain me the significace of 'Item' Check box available
in 'Additional Authorization Creator' document.

Hi Shridharan,
The Item option does not refer to the "items" like "fields, buttons, grids or tabs" but it refers to other forms which might have a parent form.
There is also a note which states that the authorizations for the above items vannot be created via the "additional Authorization window"
The text of the note is :
Symptom
When defining authorizations for specific item (field, button,
checkbox...) by using the Additional Authorization Creator, these
authorizations are actually not applied, and the user can work as if
these additional authorizations were not created.
Other terms
Additional Authorization Creator, Item, Field, Form
Reason and Prerequisites
FAQ
Solution
By definition, the Additional Authorization Creator is designed to
enable the creation of additional authorizations on form (window) level
only and not for item (field) level. Therefore, the additional
authorization that were created for single items have no meaning.

I cannot access any of my old purchases. Movies, mainly. It has nothing to do with authorized accounts, I've checked for available downloads a thousands times over. They simply do not exist any longer.

Well, this has been going on for a long time and I've had my absolute fill of it tonight.
I have purchased a large collection of movies from iTunes that for mainly the reason that I have a new computer, my old films no longer exist as downloaded iTunes videos. That being said, I know I should be able to download purchased films as long as they're still on the iTunes store. I cannot download any of them. Tonight I decided to buy a collection that should have allowed me to download all three films (which I had previously owned, but got sick of trying to find a solution to why I cannot redownload them). So tonight, I purchase this collection of three films, downloads the frst one. Theres absolutely no sign of the second or third film and when I select Check for available purchases it says all available purchases have been downloaded.
If this was true, 25+ movies would be available to download, least to say the two missing from tonights purchase (which I have purchased in the past as well).
My account is authorized, everything is alright with my account and I have tried multiple suggestions and am completely lost. Apple support is giving me the run-around.
What do I do?

Nevermind. I finally found a third party answer and will post it for anyone else with my problem.
