Configuration of Lab Management in TFS

1.After configured Lab Management in TFS,can I set automation generic plan in MTM(contains Roles,Data Diagnostics etc) ?What is the role of Lab Management
configuration in automation.

Hi,
If you want to use SCVMM lab environment, you need to configure lab management in TFS admin console.
If you just want to use Standard lab environment, you don’t need to configure lab management in TFS admin console.
After you create a lab environment, you could configure automatically test setting (e.g. Data Diagnostics)
There are many roles for machine when create lab environment, you could base on test setting (data diagnostics) to specify roles.
There is a link that can help you:

VM's resetting after deploying a configuration in Lab Manager 4.0.4

H iGuys,
Got a problem which i can't figure out. I have imported some VM's into our Lab Manager 4.0.4 setup and put them into the VM templates area (5 VM's in total, 2x windows 2008, 2 x windows 2003, and a unix). I then deploy them to ensure that they have imported ok, and they are fine, the static IP's are still in place as they should be, services start, and everything is fine.
So I then create a fenced configuration with the VM's in it, and deploy that configuration. when the VM's come up the windows 2008/windows 7 VM's run a windows configuration setup, and reboot again. When allthe VM's are up, they have all lost their static IP settings , and have been replaced by DHCP IP's.
I've now tried this with 2 VM sets and it does the same. I don't understand why the VM's work perfectly in the VM Templates, but as soon as i put them into a configuration they change.
Has anyone else seen this we have another setup in the the US on the same version of Lab Manager and the VM's work fine.
Mike

so here is the workflow difference you are seeing.
If you go from VM template to Workspace Configuration, it is "more normal" to perform guest customization. You'll also get a new MAC address and UUID in the VM. So be aware there are changes being made, and you'll have to re-configure network at minimum to use the assigned IP with fencing.
HOWEVER ... there is an easier method.
If you have several VMs in a pre-defined config that you want to use over and over ... That's what the Library is for. Made a configuration, save to library.
When you clone from Library to Workspace, Guest Customization is NOT performed as the Configuration is pre-defined and configured. The Fencing will automatically accomodate the existing IP structure and you don't have to modify the VMs at all.
This also saves you from having to build a configuration each time, and you can copy Some or All of a Library item to your workspace.

TF255317 When trying to set up Lab Management

My attempts are connecting TFS with SCVMM for Lab Management have been futile. What is frustrating is that the error message I receive is completely undocumented.
TFS Version: 2013 Update 2
SCVMM Version: 2012 R2
Windows Server Version (on both VMs): 2012 R2
TFSService account is part of the SCVMM Administators group
Ports 8100-8103 are allowed between the TFS Application Tier and the SCVMM Server. In fact, I can use the VMM Console installed on the TFS App Tier to connect to the SCVMM Server without issue. To clarify, I do not get an error when I try to establish a
connection to the SCVMM server from the TFS server using the VMM Console. However, when trying to "Configure" the Lab Management piece, I am faced with the error below (error code is elusive to Google [and Bing], and the description is very non-specific)
TF255317: Team Foundation Server cannot contact the following Virtual Machine Manager Server: '<correct servername>'. Make sure SCVMM is running, that the SCVMM server is available on the network, and that you can connect to the SCVMM server using
the SCVMM Administrator Console.
The only hit for this error code is from a MichaelKing facing the same issue back in 2012. Unfortunately, that person doesn't get any response as he's posting his question in a thread about a completely different issue.

Hi Reza,
I am trying to involve someone to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience and thanks for your understanding.

Undeploy all VM in lab manager 4.0

hi
is there a way to undeploy all VMs in lab manager vs going through each VM and undeploy individually? basically i want all VMs undeployed at the end of the day.
I read i can do this by disabling the pool and then i can undeploy. is this the best way of doing this?

You can undeploy all configurations at the datastore, organization, or resource pool level if you are a global administrator. Go to resources, one of the tabs for the resources types I listed, mouse of the name of the resource and select Undeploy.
The drawback to doing it this way is that all the configurations actually do an "undeploy - save state" and will write all memory to the hard drive so you'll need to make sure you have enough free space for that.
Otherwise you could do it via the API's by getting all configs and doing an undeploy - discard state.

Lab Manager 3 reports - SQL Queries - looking for some help

Hi Everyone
Our management has asked for metrics on the use of Lab Manager so I started looking around and noticed that none of the 3rd party tools support Lab Manager. I started to poke around the SQL database and managed to extract some info however my SQL knowledge is very limited. I am wondering if anyone out there has written their own queries or can help me sort some things out.
I thought I would start a community thread as i'm sure I am not the only one out there looking to do this.
This first query gives you the usernames and deploys in order
SELECT *
FROM Jobs
WHERE (starttime > '02/01/2007') AND (object NOT LIKE 'VirtualRouter%') AND (operation LIKE 'JOB_Deploy') AND (object_type_full = 'Virtual Machine') and (status <> 3)
This query gives you the daily deployments per organization
SELECT convert(char(10), starttime, 101) as MonthYear, count(operation) as Deployments, bucket_name AS Organization
FROM Jobs
WHERE (operation LIKE 'JOB_Deploy')AND starttime BETWEEN '12/01/2006' AND '12/01/2009' AND (status <>3)
GROUP BY convert(char(10), starttime, 101),bucket_name
ORDER BY MonthYear
This last query shows total deployments listed by username (someone helped me with this)
SELECT U.username, COUNT(J.job_id) AS Deploys
FROM Jobs J INNER JOIN
Usr U ON J.user_id = U.user_id
WHERE (J.object_type_full = 'Virtual Machine') AND (J.operation = 'JOB_Deploy') AND (starttime BETWEEN '12/01/2006' AND '12/01/2009')
GROUP BY U.username
I would like to know how to get some of the following:
Top 10 Users (Query 3 lists the total deployments per user but i don't know how to have it display this)
number of images created monthly (VM Templates / Workspace Configurations)
number of images captured to the library monthly
Biggest VMs
Number of logins daily (to Lab Manager)
Top 10 images checked out
Images not used in x days
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Stage Manager vs. Lab Manager

It would be nice to have someone from VMware CLEARLY define the technical differences between the two products. There is plenty of marketing babble about how they are meant for different situations, but that doesn't tell us the real differences. I think I have a good understanding of the two, however I would like to see this from VMware. It is easy to find material regarding the differences from say VMware Server vs. ESX why not these two products.
Thanks,
Sticky

Dear Ian,
Yes, a combination of Lab Manager and Stage Manager will fit your needs in an internal Dev/QA/Test/Demo environment. We at VMware are developing a whitepaper on using these two products together and you can expect it to be published in the near future.
Typically development labs and pre-production environments are not mixed in an IT environment since the former contains virtual machines that can be customized for developer needs and the latter needs to comply with strict IT policies. As you know, Lab Manager targets at needs in development labs and Stage Manager targets at pre-production environments. We see Lab Manager and Stage Manager being utilized in separate infrastructures. That being said, Lab Manager and Stage Manager manages different servers. The Agent software of each product needs to be installed on the managed servers, yet you cannot install both Agents on the same server. It is possible to have the servers sharing the same VI datastore (a LUN in a SAN), yet you might want to keep the datastores separate for these two products for easier management.
The paper will tell you more about how to configure resource pools, etc. Please stay tuned.
Regards,
Desmond

Help me configure Change request management !!!

Dear friends,
I am Going to Configure Change request Management, so just to ensure that the configuration is not erronous, i would need Expert advise..
Just want to know Clear few things before i proceed..
I am also refering SPRO and related notes
Scenario :
I have two SYSTEMS SAP ECC 6.0 with System id R03 and Soluiton manager with SYSTEM id SOL,
R03 has 3 clients, 300 600 700..
In R03 300 is the development client, 600 is quality client, 700 is the production client.
SOL has 2 clients, 100, 200
With 200 as the production client.
Q.1) Do i have to configure CHARM in both the client (100 and 200 of SOLMAN).
Q.2) Initially I had tried to set CHARM in client 100 of solman, but later on realized that it has to be set up in client 200.
When i logon to client 200 and Execute IMG activity Spro-> sap soltion manger->basic settings-> sap solution manager system->activate integration with change request management.
Then by default it take the previous client ( client 100) as the change request management client.
( as we know there are three steps in the above activity ), the other activity are executed properly, only prblem being that the default client is always set to 100, which should not be the case).
I do get the prompt saying ( "The change request clent is set to clent 100, do u want to change to client 200, on clicking yes, still it is always set the same client 100 as charm client ")
Plz let me know what do i do to set the change request client to 200??
Q.3) Regarding TMS, we have local domain controller in solman and local domain in R3.
We are planing to establish domain links between the two systems( ie both the domain controllers) ??
Is this the right strategy ??
Any other method that u can recommend ??
Q.4)One of the IMG activity says, Generate Destinations to client 000 of all the domain controllers..
Whenever i do this these, destinations are created with errors, i am not able to create trusted RFC destinations without errors.
When i logon to satellite domain controler and excecute sm59 there are 2 destinations created Trusted and BACK.
These destinations works well,
but when i logon to Solman, got to sm59 , when i test the TMW and TRUSTED rfc destinations i test these destinations using Remote Logon i get error,
" no authorization to logon as trusted system"
I went thru one note which recomended Kernel upgrades to solve the problem,
I r3 my kernel relaese is 700 with patch level 56, the note recomends to apply patch 80, did u have these problems??
what is your kernel patch levels in sateliite and solman systems.
Q.5) TO be able to raise tickets from R3 to solman we create RFC destinations.
We also create RFC destinations to client 000 of all the sateliite system,
dont u think these RFC destinations might interfere with each other??
Q.6) Is there anyone who has successfully configured CHARM. Can you plz share the configuration documents with me..
Please note :
All the contributors would be handesomely rewarded with points .

Hi,
Check this
Note 128447 - Trusted/Trusting Systems
For your Q4.
Q3.)
Establishing Domain link - That's the right way. Go ahead.
These are the steps.
1.Define Transport Routes for System Landscape
assign exactly one development system to a production system, and that these two systems are connected by exactly one unique transport track. If a development system and a production system are connected by more than one transport track, this may lead to inconsistencies within the transport distribution. This type of transport configuration cannot be supported by Change Request Management, and may cause inconsistencies within the tools involved.
2. Activate Extended Transport Control
The CTC parameter should be '1'
3.Configure Transport Strategy
Deactivate the QA Approval.
4. Activate Trusted Services.
5.Activate Domain Links.
You have to activate domain link between systems.
6. Generate RFC Destinations to Client 000
Hope this helps.
feel free to revert back.

Configuration of Incident Management in CRM IC Web Client

Hi,
Can anyone give me the procedure for configuring the incident management in IC Web UI and what are the pre-req for configuration
Thanks,

Hi ,
You can try two things:
1. Find a standard business role(in tx crmc_ui_profile) that has the links as you need
2. Create a custom business role by copying from some standard business roles that has all the links you have mentioned and more, then remove unwanted links from the ui profile
You might need to configure the navigation bar profile using transaction crmc_ui_nblinks.

Configuration for Transaction Management

 Hi,
 I am working with Weblogic Server SP1. I am facing a problem in configuring for
 Transaction Management.
 I have a session EJB say SEJB and two entity EJB say EEJB1 and EEJB2. EEJB1 is
 for the parent table
 and EEJB2 is for the child table.
 I have two records in the database REC1 and REC2.
 REC2 has dependencies and cannot be deleted, while REC1 can be deleted.
 In weblogic-ejb-jar.xml I have configured as follows:
 <weblogic-enterprise-bean>
 <ejb-name>SEJB</ejb-name>
 <stateless-session-descriptor>
 <pool>
 <max-beans-in-free-pool>300</max-beans-in-free-pool>
 <initial-beans-in-free-pool>150</initial-beans-in-free-pool>
 </pool>
 </stateless-session-descriptor>
 <reference-descriptor>
 <ejb-reference-description>
 <ejb-ref-name>EEJB</ejb-ref-name>
 <jndi-name>EEJBean</jndi-name>
 </ejb-reference-description>
 </reference-descriptor>
 <jndi-name>SEJBn</jndi-name>
 </weblogic-enterprise-bean>
 Further, in ejb-jar.xml I have set up the <trans-attribute> as RequiresNew for
 Session Bean while Supports
 for the EEJB. Something like this:...
 <container-transaction>
 <method>
 <ejb-name>SEJB</ejb-name>
 <method-intf>Remote</method-intf>
 <method-name>*</method-name>
 </method>
 <trans-attribute>RequiresNew</trans-attribute>
 </container-transaction>
 In spite of this setting, when, through the client, I am selecting the two records
 REC1 and REC2 at the same
 time and deleting them, REC1 gets deleted while REC2 does not and gives a TransactionRollbackException.
 Ideally, since both are part of a single transaction, both should have been rolled
 back.
 Please suggest if I am missing on some kind of configuration parameter or setting.
 I'll be more than
 happy to provide some more details to get the problem solved.
 I can also be reached at [email protected]
 Thanks in advance,
 Regards,
 Rishi
