Cisco Works directory structure

All,
We installed CW on our server and it was working for a short while but I believe we installed it wrongly. It's been setup on a win 2003 server with a 36GB disk for C drive and a 146GB disk for the E drive, but we've had numerous problems doing this. Our LAN is quite small with about 250 switches, 150 Cisco 877's and a few other cisco devices but our NMS is broken...possibly due to the disk sizing.
We are going to be installing Windows Server 2008 on the server but I'm a bit unsure what directory structure to use, we were running an older version of LMS and when we upgraded to 3.2 we started getting problems.
I've searched cisco.com for documentation to advise what is the best way in respect to drive sizes and directory structures but have had no joy.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Thomas.

Hi ,
You can Installed Ciscoworks on Any Drive where you have Maximum Space available.
Below is the Prerequists for LMS 3.2 Installation :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/prereq.html
I think you have Enough space available so Disk space should not be a problem!!!

Below are the thing that you need to take care of during the Installation.
1.       1.You should be logged in as a LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR account.
2.       2. Only the Essential windows program and services should be checked on the Server for DEP. See the attached Image:
3.       3. Have the TEMP and TMP variables set with a short length. It is required because the normal default variables sometimes exceeds 32bit character length and have the installed hampered which uses command prompt at the background to invoke various tasks (they should be made sort such as C:\WINDOWS\TEMP and C:\WINDOWS\TMP):
4.       4. Please have almost all the 3rd party software’s services disabled till the time updates/install is in progress, specially Avti-Virus programs.
I hope this wil help !!!

How to create a tree based on directory structure

I want to create a hierarchical tree in Forms 6i based upon a file system directory structure (similar to Windows Explorer). How can I populate a tree with this information, is there something that I can call or write that would return the file system structure in a format that I can populate my tree?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is there any way to specify a URL in the servlet-mapping that doesn't need to be in the directory structure?

          I migrated from WebLogic 5.1 to 7.0.2 Something I used to have set-up in 5.1 no
          longer
          works.
          I am using the weblogic.servlet.FileServlet and have the URL "/cxedocs/" mapped
          to this
          servlet. So whenever the URL http://localhost:7001/cxedocs/en_US/index.html
          is used it would use the docHome associated with the /cxedocs/ URL and then append
          the "en_US/index.html" on to it. So let's say d:\temp\en_US\index.html
          But now for WL 7.0.2 it appears that the URL also needs to be in the directory
          structure.
          So it now takes the docHome "d:\temp" adds the URL "/cxedocs/" and then appends
          the
          rest - so d:\temp\cxedocs\en_US\index.html.
          I can't require that the "cxedocs" directory be there. Is there anyway to map
          a certain URL
          without requiring it in the directory structure. I looked at virtual directory
          mapping too but
          it still seemed to require this.
          Any help would be appreciated!
          Thanks!

          I opened up a case with support on this. After some research they came back with
          that
          NO there is no way to do this. In 6.0 it was changed to follow the spec which
          restricts this.
          The URL must be part of the directory path.

I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac. The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder

I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac. The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto. I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing. Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??

iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread

How can I get the working directory of a project from an Annotation Processor in Java

I am writing an annotation processor in Java and in this annotation processor I want to be able to find a file in the Project hierarchy of the project on which I am using this annotation processor. Through the annotation I can pass in the path of the file I am searching for relative to the project root but i cannot retrieve the project's working directory.
Let's say that the processor is MyCustomProcessor and I am using it on the project MyProject. I want to be able to access(read) a file (a properties file) from the project structure of MyProject from the "process" method of MyCustomProcessor.
I have read this link Eclipse - Annotation processor, get project path but when I use their solution I get a null returned from the StandardJavaFileManager.getLocation(StandardLocation.SOURCE_PATH) call.
Some more details regarding the implementation:
MyAnnotationProcessor:
@SupportedAnnotationTypes(value = {"MyAnnotation" })
@SupportedSourceVersion(RELEASE_6)
public class MyCustomProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {
@Override public boolean process(final Set<? extends TypeElement> annotations, final RoundEnvironment roundEnv) {
for (final Element element : roundEnv.getElementsAnnotatedWith(MyAnnotation.class)) {

More details about the testing and development environment: Eclipse Kepler, JRE 1.7.
If you need more details just ask.

There is an identical post with an answer located at this link.

Directory structure after upgrade to iPhoto 6

After upgrading to iPhoto 6, it appears that my photos were copied from the old, date-based structure into a new directory structure, but the old structure was left behind.
What is the layout of the new structure, and can the remaining old structure be discarded at this point?
Thanks for any insight you might be able to offer...

The new structure organizes photos into Originals and Modified folders. There is a third folder called Data that contains thumbnails created for the photos (smaller pictures used for better performance). These three are essential for iPhoto 6 to work.
Each folder contains a folder for each year (a year folder is created if you have even one photo from that year, e.g. a photo from 4/3/2004 will create a folder called "2004" and any other photos from that year will then be placed within it.
Every import creates a serially numbered Roll folder within the year folder. So if you import photos including IMG_234.jpg from 4/3/2004, for example, the location of IMG_234.jpg will be:
iPhoto Library/Originals/2004/Roll 1/IMG_234.jpg
And Roll 1 will have other photos imported in the same session. If you modify the photo within iPhoto (enhance, retouch, etc), the modified copy will exist in:
iPhoto Library/Modified/2004/Roll 1/IMG_234.jpg
The Data folder will contain a thumbnail for the image in the same path as the Originals:
iPhoto Library/Data/2004/Roll 1/IMG_234.jpg
So inside the iPhoto Library folder, you will see some files and those three folders with their sub-structure folders. Other things within the top level of the iPhoto Library folder, are leftovers from the previous structure - such as a folder called "2004" or "2005" that ISN'T inside Originals, Data, or Modified folders.
PhillyPhan's advice is sage. Don't mess with the insides of the iPhoto Library. However, I did verify on my own system after I upgraded, that year folders at the top level of the iPhoto Library are from previous versions of iPhoto. So you could move those, and those only, to a separate folder on your HD. I moved those off to a DVD-ROM and haven't seen problems since.
Remember: Don't touch any files, and don't touch anything within Data, Originals, and Modified folders.

Directory structure mirroring

I have my mp3:s neatly organized in a directory structure on
my disk. There's where I'd like to add and remove albums,
and would like the itunes music library to automatically
update when I make changes.
I.e. if I add albums on my disk, I'd like them to appear in itunes (and on the ipod when syncing).
And if I remove albums from my disk I'd like them to
automatically disappear form itunes and the ipod.
Can I make Itunes work like this? I dont like to make all
changes twice, i.e. deleting both from the disk and then in
itunes. This gets especially irritating when moving many
albums.
Ideas? Cheers / Tom

You need to create a form and assign it to the reconciliation process. In the form, you need waveset.organization set to where you want the user objects placed. By default, waveset.organization is set to just "Top". You can get the DN, parse it into a list and write the xml code to use the list to place each in a different virtual organization.
Start off simple, say create a container called Top:newusers. Take a copy of Empty Form and save it as orgEmpty Form or something. Define a field waveset.organization and just set its value to "Top:newusers". Then in the resource, set the reconciliation form to your new form.
Try this, once you see new ids show up in Top:newusers, you then can enhance the logic to be more sophisticated in placing objects. That is, parse the DN into a list and walk the list for a IDM waveset.organization value.
BTW, a good question to ask prospective IDM so called experts. Of 8 or so, I only met one that new how to do this efficiently.

Directory Structure Changes in iPhoto

Hi,
I have noticed that since iPhoto 09, directories have stopped being created for each event. Instead some random initial directory is created (sometimes just a date) and the event names are obviously then just being kept in a database. Now I already know that the iPhoto directory structure contains "no user serviceable parts" etc.. but i do like to backup my photos to a remote file server (yeah i use timecapsule too, but this is for offsite backups) and would prefer that the directory structure is somewhat sensible *just in case* (horror) i lost my iPhoto database.
With iPhoto 09 i'm going to left with a bunch of random directories and file names.
Any way to have this behave as it used to in iPhoto 08?
Thanks

Any way to have this behave as it used to in iPhoto 08?
No
You can backup by dragging the iPhoto library to the external drive or using a clone or backup program (I use Carbon Copy Cloner - http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
If you are "backing up" by copying parts of the iPhoto library you are not getting a backup of the library - you need to copy the entire library as a single entity or clone it or use an incremental backup program that works with iPhoto

Directory structure for servlets and webservices in one application

hi,
Can any one help me for creating servlets and webservices in one
application and deploying in Jboss 4.2.0.
I want to know exactly what is the directory structure for creating this
application and what are the additional .xml files for deploying this application.
if any one know this answere please tell the answere.

I figured out a solution - it's a problem of policies. In detail: Server1's codebase entry (file:) refers to the class directory of Server1's project. In the simple case of only Client1, which has no codebase entry, it works fine without a file permission on the side of Server1. In the complex case of Client1+Server2, which has to have a codebase entry (file:) refering to the class directory of the Server2's project on a separate machine, for exactly the same method call from Client1 to Server1 a file permission entry on the side of Server1 is needed for Server1's class directory. But WHY ???
It seems to be a little confusing with the codebase entries, many of the posts are contrary to others and to my personal experiences. Some comments given by Adrian Colley throw a little light upon some aspects. Is there anybody, who can explain the whole topic, when, why, and which part of RMI application deals with codebase entries, also in case of not dynamic code downloading ? May be there is also a reference into the java docs, which I didn't found up to now.
Thanks in advance

Directory structure support and sluggish touch screen

I bought a Zen X Fi2. My expectations were high since I already had a creative some years ago. (I was quite pleased with the performance and sound quality etc)
However I am a bit dissapointed with Zen XFi2- The touch screen is not very successful. The scroll function does not work at a satisfactory level and sometimes (when I want to scroll), it makes a "selection" rather than "scrolling".
Also it does not support browsing with directory structure. For those people (like me) who are quite used to drag and drop type of copying for mp3 files, it is really a pain to re arrange all the songs for ID3 tag information.
I believe these two issues are software issues and can be improved by new firmware upgrade.
I also want to take this opportunity to tell that the software (interface software) that comes with the device is totally crap- I have never seen a software that tries to control the user rather than the user controlling the software. An ideal interface software for such a device should be the one which allows user to choose the songs from any directory, drag and drop into the device.
I was going to return my Zen however after playing around for a few days, I somewhat get used to its sluggish touch screen behaviour and accepted ID3 tag browsing (which still gives me a lot of problem) so right now I am gonna keep it.
May be software developpers can work on touch screen improvement, adding the support for directory structure browsing (as well as ID3 tag browser) and work on interface software a bit more ?
Thanks
Best Regards

This is indeed interesting because when you say "I don't have the problems you mentioned" I believe you also refer to the sensitivity of the touch screen. This makes me ask the question if my item has some problems. Since I do not have any means of cross checking this (apparently there is no other Zen XFi2 around me) may be I should ask you this question: "When you want to browse among albums for example, you wipe your finger across the screen so the screen rolls down; can you have it fluently like in an IPOD touch?- or does it not recognize immediately and you have to do it again sometimes?"
As for the volume button- I do indeed agree. For devices like this one; having physical buttons for at least volume, mute, stop/pause is a "must"! Choosing, browsing or starting a song is not a big deal however muting, stopping or changing the volume may be needed instantly from time to time. It is very unpractical to browse for volume, find it and adjust it!
Also may I add that for such a nice device, there should be a remote control on the headphone/earphone cable and should employ at least stop/play/mute/volume/forward/reverse buttons. I mean think about it for a while- why would you want to take use this device- apparently not to watch movies at home! You take it with you and listen to music, while cycling, jogging, skiing, roller blading etc. It is so difficult taking out the device from your pocket, browsing for volume button and turning up and down the volume (while cycling for example!) or skipping to next song with one touch!
Cheers

Problem with package and directory structure

Please... I need help with a directory/package structure that I don't understand
why it is not working...
I want to create a custom login SWF which several other SWF movies will use in case they need some kind of login logic (in this case it is a login logic... but the problem doesn't have anything to do with that logic...)
I have created a FLA movie (LOGIN.FLA) and two helper classes (MAINLOGIN.AS and MAINLOGINEVENT.AS)... they are all under the same directory, for example:
c:\
     abc\
          def\
               ghi\
                    login
In LOGIN.FLA, I have included the source path, c:\abc (for example).
MAINLOGIN.AS and MAINLOGINEVENT.AS, have both a package like:
     package def.ghi.login
MainLogin class uses MainLoginEvent (it dispatches events of that type)... but I don't have to import anything as all 3files are in the same directory...
LOGIN.FLA has its class defined as def.ghi.login.MainLogin
And that's all... now comes the problem:
1. If I leave everything as described and try to publis LOGIN.FLA, it throws error 5001 ("The name of the package def.ghi.login.MainLoginEvent doesn't reflect....) for class MainLoginEvent... don't understand why... it is placed exactly as MainLogin and has the same package definition!
2. I have tried several other options, but when I get the SWF to get published, then, the problem comes when trying to use this SWF from another movie:
The way to publish LOGIN.FLA with no errors is: MAINLOGIN.AS and MAINLOGINEVENT.AS with empty package definition ("package" alone...) and LOGIN.FLA with class MainLogin (not def.ghi.login.MainLogin)... LOGIN.FLA doesn't have to include source path to c;\abc in this case. This way, I can publish LOGIN and get LOGIN.SWF.
The problem now is how to use this information from another Movieclip... I want to be able to use and receive events of type MainLoginEvent but can't (it gives error 5001 again, on MainLoginEvent, saying that the name of the package '' doesnt' reflect....)... If I include the path to c:\abc\def\ghi\login on the FLA, then it gives errors in MainLogin when trying to use a class of its library...
Basically, the problem here is that, the movie which wants to use the LOGIN.SWF, is in c:\abc\def, and it is including the source path c:\abc, so if I import def.ghi.login.*
it is when it throws error 5001 (I understand why, but I dont know how to fix it...), but if I dont import def.ghi.login.* then I can't use MainLogin nor MainLoginEvent...
What is the good way of doing this kind of structure... mainly it is creating a SWF, which can be used from other SWF's and which can dispatch events, which the container SWF will capture...
If anyone can please give me a hint... THANK YOU!

Hi kglad , I don't understand the first point... "don't use absolute paths"... I'm not using them (or I don't understand what you mean).
For the second one... the structure is like:
c:\
     abc\
          def\
               LOGINCONTAINER.FLA
               ghi\
                    login\
                         LOGIN.FLA
                         MAINLOGIN.AS
                         MAINLOGINEVENT.AS
In LOGIN.FLA, I include the source path c:\abc, so MAINLOGIN.AS and MAINLOGINEVENT.AS have a package of "def.ghi.login", and the class for LOGIN.FLA is "def.ghi.login.MainLogin"... when trying to publish LOGIN.FLA, Flash throws error 5001 for MAINLOGINEVENT...¿?
What I want to get is a SWF (LOGIN.SWF), which can be loaded from any other SWF (in this example, LOGINCONTAINER.SWF). LOGINCONTAINER.FLA, has a class path "c:\abc" (the same as the other LOGIN.FLA, because of the directory structure), and it has to be able to receive events of type MAINLOGINEVENT... that is why it has to do an import of "import def.ghi.login.*" (for example)
Any idea of why it is not working (or how to organize it correctly)?
Thank you

Data guard: OMF and directory structure

hi everybody,
i guess this problem is not too complicated, but maybe i´m missing something.
assumption:
- 10.2.0.4
- data guard with physical standby (primary: node_a, standby: node_b)
- primary db_unique_name=primary, standby db_unique_name=standby
- using OMF, primary db_create_file_dest=<myDir>/oradata
- standby_file_management is set to AUTO
- want to use same directory structure for data files on both nodes (<myDir>/oradata/PRIMARY/)
data guard is working as expected so far, data files on both nodes are created in <myDir>/oradata/PRIMARY/datafile/
next assumption:
- failover is initiated
- physical standby is recreated on former primary node (node_a)
from now on, data files are created in <myDir>/oradata/STANDBY/datafile/, old data files remain in <myDir>/oradata/PRIMARY/datafile/.
is there a way to avoid a second directory (and still use the benefits of OMF)? at least at the current standby node it´s possible to avoid this by setting db_file_name_convert, but what about the new primary?
thanks for your input,
peter
Edited by: priffert on Sep 14, 2009 3:07 AM

I have a similar setup with the exception that I'm using ASM for datafiles. The issue I'm having with OMF is that if I create a datafile within a disk group that is not in the location specified by db_create_file_dest then on the standby it's created in the db_create_file_dest. Apparently this will not give me the ability to maintain the exact configuration on both primary and standby without requiring modification after role changes.

Changing file name and directory structure for use outside of iPhoto

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to get iPhoto to name the files from my library to reflect the names that I've given the files in iPhoto. I'm thinking along the lines of iTunes, where its possible to chose in the preferences how the files are named, and there is some logical directory structure, such as "Artist/Album/01 - Track 1.mp3". These file names are updated to reflect any changes made in iTunes.
I've heard the argument that I shouldn't ever want to do anything with the files themselves because iPhoto can do everything I would ever want to do, but I want to organize the files so that not all of my organizational work is lost if I decide to stop using iPhoto and transition to a different system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

Adrian
No it's not possible.
You can rename the files before bringing them into iPhoto, you can rename them with the titles on Export (Use the File -> Export command, it gives you the option to use the title and filename) but when it's inside iPhoto you cannot rename the files.
However, all is not entirely lost. Using Film Rolls (View -> Film Rolls) you can move pics between rolls, name rolls, create rolls and so on, as long as you do this in the iPhoto Window, and these changes will be reflected in the iPhoto Library Folder.
If at some point you decide to chuck iPhoto then (if the new app won't read iPhoto database files) you can simply export each album you've created to a Folder (using the File -> Export command as I suggest above), this, along with exporting slideshows will preserve your organisational efforts.
The iTunes database has a rather simple job to do: track a file and it's assorted metadata. iPhoto, on the other hand, tracks a file and it's assorted metadata, plus a Modified version, plus a thumbnail. If you consider what happens when you edit a pic, for instance - Copy Original, perform edit, save modified version, remove Original Thumbnail and then create new one - you can see it's a rather more complex job.
Finally, the standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. Any changes you make must be made in the iPhoto Window.
Need more info? by all means post again.

Package and Directory Structure

Hello --
I work in a group that supports 3 web sites. (b2b, b2c, b2e)
We're just beginning to develop Java in-house and
currently using Solaris and JDK 1.2.x.
I need to propose a package and directory structure strategy.
The "reverse the domain name" guideline makes sense to me.
My first thoughts are: ("classes" dir could be created anywhere)
classes/com/ppco/b2X/ <--- for .java and .class files (development)
lib/ <--- for b2X JAR files (ready for test or production)
util/ <--- for our utility classes like DBAccessor
lib/ <--- for our JAR files
sun/ <--- for classes like com.sun.mail pkg
lib/ <--- for JAR files like mail.jar
org/ <--- for classes in org.omg.CORBA pkg
lib/ <--- for JAR files
We need to handle 3rd party classes.
Development would be done in the b2X tree and JAR files would
be installed the lib/ dir for testing and release to production.
Does anyone have recommendations or experiences to share ?
Are there some things to avoid ?
Thanks !
Al

Hello Al,
you are on the right track. A typical convention I follow is:
<project>
bin - for startup scripts, etc. to run your application
build - for build scripts (not necessary if you build using your IDE. See below.)
classes - for my compiled classes
lib - for my 3rd party libraries
src - for my source code
test - for my test code (see http://junit.org/ )
That's the project hierarchy. The src (i.e. the package heirarchy) structure is another story.
As you say, you start with the reverse domain name. This is to give your packages a unique namespace. After that, your best guide is practice. Packages can be larger or smaller, depending on your coding practices. Usually you would have these (exact names may differ), plus others:
com/ppco/client
com/ppco/server
com/ppco/common
com/ppco/db
I think your break down of sun, org, etc. is a bit too much. If you would like to do so, however, I recommend you do the separation under /lib. This way, the top level project directory is not polluted by the different types of libraries in use.

From build above: I would suggest you always build your release distribution directly with the JDK, not using any IDE compiler. This is because Sun's JDK is the reference implementation, thus, any compatibility issues are not yours.
An easy way to achieve this is by using ANT (see http://jakarta.apache.ort/ant/ ).

Import already existing directory structure into DFS namespace?

Hi all,
I'm planning to migrate three file servers to a single DFS namespace and after reading the official docs and numerous blog posts I'm still unsure about the right way to do it.
The "main" server already has a share with a complex directory structure, called \\server1\team, and that share shall become the root of the new DFS namespace, lets call it \\domain.local\team.
Part of that already existing directory structure is this folder: \\server1\team\admin\communication\archive. The folder "archive" contains thousands of files in numerous folders and shall become a dfs link to another share \\server2\archive. But
before I can create the folder "archive" as a dfs link I have to create the folder "admin" in the dfs hierarchy of course, then below that the folder "communication"
Question: When I try to create a folder "admin" in the dfs namespace, I get the error message "the folder cannot be created in the namespace. The file exists."
Ok, the folder "admin" indeed exists, but how can I "import" this branch of the existing directory hierarchy into the dfs namespace?
Do I have to rename the existing folder "admin" to e.g. "admin2", then create the dfs folder "admin" and move the complete directory structure below "admin2" to "admin"? Or can I simply make the existing folder
"admin" a dfs folder?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Christoph

Mandy, thanks for your feedback!
I have to describe my problem more precisely: creating the root of the new DFS namespace is *not* the problem. This worked for me exactly as you expained it. The problem appears when I try to create a folder below that root in the DFS namespace. If that
folder already exists in the share you cannot choose how to handle security settings but you get an error message, and that's it.
This may be helpfull to explain what I want to achieve:
Old structure:
\\server1\team - folder admin - subfolder "archive" - lots of subfolders and files
Now I want to move all files and folders from "archive" to \\server2\archive and link this share into the new DFS namespace, so that our users don't notice any change when they access that archive folder.
new structure:
1. Create DFS namespace root: \\domain.local\team -> \\server1\team   (works!)
            |
2. Create folder admin (problem!)
            |
3. Create subfolder "archive" -> \\server2\archive (not possible becaues "admin" couldn't be created)
I could perhaps create a DFS namespace with the root \\server1\team\admin\archive and link that to \\server2\archive, but I would like to avoid creating a new namespace for each share which from \\server2 which I mount into some subfolder of \\server1\team...
Thanks for reading.
Regards
Christoph
