Checking for RTMFP failure due to a firewall

When a firewall blocks UDP and hence RTMFP, I believe the NetStream.Connect.Closed event is fired on the NetConnection object after a 90 second timeout. For any application, it's important to detect this condition to alert the user of the problem, and advise him/her to allow UDP.
Two questions:
1. The same event is fired for a stream that's closed by normal usage (e.g. by a user closing the browser window). Is there a reason why a different event name is not used to help distinguish the 'bad' event from the 'good' one?
2. It doesn't look like the 90 second period is configurable. Does it really take that long to try punching through the firewall, and realize it can't be done?
I'd really appreciate any response. If there's a good way to detect a firewall issue, it would be very useful to all developers using RTMFP.

1) when the other end closes the browser, there's barely enough time to send the abrupt session close messages on all RTMFP sessions, so there's definitely no time for the multiple round-trips that would be necessary to reliably transmit some kind of "i'm shutting down now" message, wait for acknowledgements, and then shut down the sessions. at the end that's still running, the abrupt session close is indistinguishable at the RTMFP level from many other error conditions, including the "i never got a session up in the first place" case. at the application level, you could certainly make a note of whether data had ever been received and change your interpretation of the NetStream close event.
2) the 90 second timeout is not configurable, and is a worst-case try-really-hard period for trying to get communications working. if your application doesn't need to try that hard, you can set a timer in ActionScript for a shorter time, and if it fires before you get connected you can abort.

Checking for downloads failure, no error message

So I've rented a movie from the itunes store, and it tells me that I have 1 iTunes Download Available. However, when I click the download button in the downlaods window, the checking for downlaods bar comes up, and then just disappears, reverting to the usual apple logo. Any help with why this is and how I can fix it?
To specify, I'm connected through a University network, and my flatmate who is connected through precisely the same network can downlaod iTunes rentals just fine.

SQL Server Browser service group does not exists. Check for earlier failures in the setup. during sql express 2008 R2 setup

Hello,
I have an issue while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. When I was installing SQL Server, I occurred an error message as shown in the figure.
I have followed couple of links as in
this and
this links but it did not fix the issue. Can anyone help me on this issue?
Regards
Gaurav

Hi gauravroondhe2306,
According to your description, you fail to install SQL Server 2008 R2 express with the error that SQL Server Browser service group does not exist. Please help to post SQL Server setup error log for analysis. By default, SQL Server setup summary and detail
logs are located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Based on my research, this issue could occur when you install SQL Server on a Domain Controller, or the machine's name has been changed and the browser service group is named with the original machine's name.
To troubleshoot the issue, you could follow the solutions below.
1.Use SQL Server 2008 R2 Best Practice Analyzer to detect if SQL Server is installed on a domain controller. If SQL Server is installed on a domain controller, please demote your machine from being a domain controller and install the SQL Server again since
it is not recommended to install SQL Server on a domain controller.
2.Check if the name of local user group matches the machine's current name. If it doesn't match, please change the name of the local user group accordingly, and install SQL Server again. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:

Code Inspector/ATC checks for VKOS/VKOI object types

Dear Experts,
I found a strange behavior while executing CI checks on a transport request. TR contained only IMG Activity objects (Object Type VKOS/VKOI). After CI checks it gave errors "Recognized dead code". There is no coding for these kind of object type, I don't know where it was able to find the dead code. On debugging I found that, it is trying to populate Program name concatenatinv " SAPIC " and the object type. ( SAPICVKO). But there is no such program existing. It then gives "Recognized dead code" error.
Has anyone faced such error before? I guess this is error in the standard program.
Thank you.

Other language NUnit test frameworks similar to ABAP Unit (AUnit) commonly have project extensions for storing test results. These are useful for the unit level regression (did a new change break any existing functions). History of test results, help narrow down the nature of a current failure by answering the question of 'When did this break?' or when did it last pass? In systems dependent upon outside components the history can provide a pattern for occasional failures due to factors outside the system under test.
I see that ABAP unit test results can be added into the Code Inspector under the Check Variant.
1. Is it common or recomended to use the Code Inspector (SCI) to store AUnit test results?
2. Is it common or recomended to use Code Inspector Object variants to collect individual AUnit tests for a regresssion style 'TestSuite'?
3. What reporting or tools exists for Code Inspector history?
4. Is Application Logging the better spot for AUnit results history?

Firefox "check for add-on updates" checks even when not selected, request website list for firewall blocking purposes

I work for the Tech Department in a school district. Our student computers are locked down and all settings are reset after a restart. We have set firefox to always allow all add-ons to run and to never check for updates (we update them on a schedule we control). However, since the latest release, we have been prompted after EVERY flash AND EVERY java update that they are out of date and need to be updated. Having the students click on this every time for every affected webpage is no longer an option. We are also not interested in white-listing pages individually; instead, we would like to prevent firefox from finding the update server to prevent any further prompts.
Please provide me with all of the websites/web addresses that "check for add-on updates" uses so we can block them at the firewall level.
Thanks

Part of the problem may be the recent flurry of required updates to FlashPlayer. As I understand it Mozilla took the exceptional step of blocklisting some of those FlashPlayer versions after fixes were released because there were known exploits in the wild.
* See the blocklist
* And flashplayers bulletins https://helpx.adobe.com/security.html#flashplayer
Possibly you are having difficulty in keeping the software updated and so seeing valid warnings from Firefox. You appear (System info aside) to be posting using Firefox 34. The current Release is Fx35.0.1
Possibly it would be worth you considering using Firefox ESR, that still has regular updates including backported critical security fixes, but the major version stays the same for longer and there are less frequent feature changes.

I will send links for a couple of other articles by Private Message.
Steps that may be safe for an IT department may not be recommended for the average reader of this forum.

ClickOnce Programmatic deployment checks for updates if there is a failure in the middle of an update

Hi,
I am using ClickOnce deployment APIs in C#.
The application is checked not to "Check for updates". Unfortunately, due to some slow internet connectivity issues the deployments sometimes fail.
When such a scenarios happens, the next time the application is restarted it will prompt the "There was an update" dialog even though the Project ClickOnce settings are set not to check for updates.
I couldn't find any solutions or documentation. Any help would be appreciated!
This is my code:
if (IsUpdated())
nextProgress = 0;
logger.Info("Found new version! UPDATING...");
applicationDeployment.UpdateAsync();
// We use this instead of applicationDeployment.CheckForUpdate(false) because applicationDeployment.CheckForUpdate(false)
// Is limited to a few hundred calls only (Microsoft BUG: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winformssetup/thread/d9183f7e-f5c7-46d0-8bb4-411ad923976c)
int checkUpdateError = 0;
private DateTime _lastCheck = DateTime.MinValue;
public bool IsUpdated()
try
var customVersionUrl = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CustomVersionUrl"];
var manifestFile = GetIfModifiedtSince(customVersionUrl != null ? customVersionUrl : TBXConfigurationManager.Settings["VersionURL"], _lastCheck);
if (manifestFile != string.Empty)
var xdoc = XDocument.Parse(manifestFile);
XNamespace nsSys = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1";
var version = new Version(xdoc.Descendants(nsSys + "assemblyIdentity").First().Attribute("version").Value);
_lastCheck = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(-10);
if (version != ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion)
// update application
return true;
checkUpdateError = 0;

Hi uriab,
As you said that, you have something wrong when you update the Version of application. Due to the network, I'm afraid you have missing something important for the updation version.
I suggest you uninstall the older version, then reinstall the lastest version from the server.
And also here is a MSDN article about How to Check for Application Updates Programmatically Using the ClickOnce Deployment API.

TS1492 When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.

When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.

If you're really using iTunes 7.0 you are very far behind the current version - maybe it is trying to connect to a decomissioned server. In fact I am kind of surprised it will run on a Macbook Air. Are you sure you are running iTunes 7?

I recently reinstalled Acrobat 8.1 after a crash. I wanted to check for updates but encountered the message that no internet connection was found, to check the internet settings or the firewall. There are no issues with either. Obviously, I have an internet connection. How do I resolve this issue?

Hello Coldwater Card,
Please try the following steps and let us know if this fix your issue :
Operating system hosts files map host names to IP addresses. An incorrectly configured hosts file can affect your computer's ability to connect to Adobe's activation servers.
Follow these steps to see if there is a problem with your hosts file and to reset it if necessary.
Click this link.
If you see two Adobe logos, then you have access to the activation servers. Try activating or starting your software.
Still have problems? Go to the next step.
Start an internet browser, such as Firefox or Internet Explorer, and go to:
CS5.5: https://activate.adobe.com/test
CS6 and later: https://lm.licenses.adobe.com/gdf/status.jsp
If you see a test successful message (see screenshots below), then you have access to the activation servers. Try activating or starting your software.
CS5.5: Test successful
CS6 and later: Test successful
Still have problems? Proceed to Step 3. Reset the hosts file.
Reset the hosts file:
NOTE: You may have to disable you security software to modify your hosts file.
Windows
Choose Start > Run, type %systemroot% \system32\drivers\etc, and then press Enter.
Right-click the hosts file and select Open. Select Notepad for the application to open the hosts file.
Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file ashosts.backup, and then click OK.
Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
Save and close the file.
Mac OS
Log in as an administrator to edit the hosts file in Mac OS.
In a Finder window, choose Go > Go To Folder.
Type /etc.
Select the hosts file and open it.
Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file ashosts.backup, and then click OK.
Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
Save and close the file.

How do I turn off Firefox checking for updates (I am fed up with Firefox continually asking to update when I don't want to due to previous bad experiences)

I would like to turn off firefox checking for updates
I don't want to update due to previous bad experiences with updates (version 4 and version 5)
I am frustrated by being reminded on a daily basis to update when I don't want to

Use
*'''Firefox button -> Options -> |Advanced | -> |Update|''' and uncheck the update option, or opt to ask first.
* see [[Options window - Advanced panel#w_update-tab]]_update-tab
* and to downgrade
**[[installing a previous version of Firefox]]
** and the download itself [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
Also note that currently
* firefox 3.6 is still supported, and has had recent security updates
* plans are to continue supporting it despite any comment on the download page
**(not sure how long for but see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2011-09-07#Questions.2C_Comments.2C_FYI ) confirming continuing support for Firefox 3.6
* Firefox 3.6 has updated with security fixes, so is I think now 3.6.22 ; but it is NOT currently trying to upgrade its users to the current firefox release (Firefox 6)

How to check for impacts due to upgrade

We are plannining to upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6..How to check for impacts on FTP'S,shell scripts and RFC's etc due to the assesment..Please suggest

Hi,
FTP's and Shell scripts are OS dependant not SAP or Database dependant so there will be no change at all unless you upgrade OS too. RFC's are not afected as per guides, notes and my experience.
I´m doing an upgrade from 4.6C to 6.0 with connections with at least 10 systems and none of them had an issue during tests
Good luck
