Configure OEL 6.4 from Server mode to Desktop Mode

I have installed the OEL 6.4 in server mode, and now sucessfully using it. I have installed the Oracle databases on it for testing purpose.
Can you please guide me, if i can configure it in Desktop mode. I do not want to re-install it.
As per my understanding, i need to install some GUI packages for this, but not sure..what is the exact method.
Can you please guide me to configure it from Server mode to Desktop mode(GUI).
Regards,
-DBATurn

You mean how to install the Gnome graphical desktop environment?
Copying the following to the Terminal prompt or console as root should do, and give you a similar desktop like in the previous OL release version:
yum groupinstall "X Window System" Desktop "General Purpose Desktop" \
"Graphical Administration Tools" "Legacy X Window System compatibility" \
system-config-lvm
To test it, type:
init 5
Or to make the change permanent, modify /etc/inittab.
sed -i 's|id:3:initdefault:|id:5:initdefault:|g' /etc/inittab
shutdown -r now

  • Work on FCP from server??

    I wonder if there is any possible for all projects (FCP, Motion, DVDSP) leave in server at work and I can pull projects out from server to my desktop at home. Like I don't have to go to work to get some files and bring to home. Possible? What kind of server? Xserve? Will that work?

    Well, anything on that server will have to be downloaded to your computer before you work on it. You cannot use a remote server like this to just access the media...if that is what you are asking. No, you cannot.
    You need to have the footage directly accessable to your machine via hard drive or LOCAL AREA NETWORK...not internet server.

  • Project stuck in Desktop mode(?) ?

    Opened a current project and a box appeared stating "cannot open in edit mode, opening in desktop mode". I cannot export from this mode, how do i get back to edit mode?

    Desktop mode is simply a customization of the sequence settings.  Functionally it's no different than using a preset.
    So...why can't you export?

  • VTP from server to client mode

    Hi,
    I have couple switches setup in VTP server mode. All of them have the same VTP revision number, but most of them should be in VTP client mode.
    Will switching some of them (but the one I really want to have in VTP server mode) into VTP client mode have negative impact on the network? I do know that if you change a switch (with the highest rev #) from client mode to server mode I could end up with problems. However, in my case it will be switching them from server to client mode with all of them with the same Rev #.
    Thanks for the help

    Hello,
    change the switches in question to VTP transparent mode first, and then to client mode, that will reset the revision and prevent any possible conflicts.
    In addition, in case you need to change the root switch as well, in general the VTP server switch should also be the root for your VLANs. You can set the switch as root by configuring it as:
    spanning-tree vlan x priority 0

  • No alerts from AAE after configured Solman as central Alert Server

    Hi all,
    i have configured a Solution Manager system to act as a central alert servcer for our PI landscape. We are using PI 7.1 ehp 1.
    I changed the required nodes in the exchange profile and created the PIRWBUSER in the solution manager system. After restarting the J2EE engine of the PI system the alert rules are no created on solutiuon manager and alerts which occur in the integration engine are raised in the solution manager system. However alerts which are raised in the AAE are not forwarded.
    When i check the application log in NWA I see the follwing error, whenever an alert should have been raised:
    No central monitor defined in RWB.
    Thrown:

    In ABAP the connection CentralMonitoringServer-XIAlerts is configured correctly as alerts from the IE engine are working. I suppose I missed some configuration in the java stack. Can somebody help me on that?

    Hi Lukas,
    I think the problem is caused by differenet drivers for the CAN communication.
    NI provides two driver for CAN: NI-CAN and NI-XNET.
    NI-CAN is the outdated driver which is not longer used by new hardware. NI replaced the NI-CAN driver with NI-XNET some years ago, which supports CAN, LIN and the FLEXRAY communication protocol.
    You wrote:
    In order to fix this problem I have formatted my PXI and I have installed the following SW from the iPC:
    3. NI_CAN 2.7.3
    NI CAN is the outdated driver. I think that you should try to install NI-XNET instead of NI-CAN on your PXI-System, to get rid of the error message.

  • How to Configure Remote Connections To SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

    Post written June 10, 2010 and pertains to:
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on both my server and local machines: SQLX_SRV,
    SQLX_LOC
    SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio on both my server and local machines:
    MS_SRV, MS_LOC
    Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise installed on a Hyper-V VPS: WS
    SQL Server Configuration Manager on both my server and local machines:
    CMGR_SRV, CMGR_LOC
    Server Manager: SMGR
    I am connecting to my hosting server via Remote Desktop Connection: RDC
    I installed SQLX_SRV and MS_SRV on my hosting server and SQLX_LOC and MS_LOC on my local development machine.  I am able to use MS_LOC to connect to SQLX_LOC and to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV.  However I am not able to use MS_LOC to connect
    with SQLX_SRV.  Here's what I have done so far:
    SMGR -> Configuration -> Windows Firewall to turn off the Windows Firewall for Domain, Private and Public profiles.  Obviously I'll change this later, but until I can connect I want to remove as many variables as possible.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services to confirm that both SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser services were running.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS to ENABLE the Shared Memory, Named Pipes, and TCP/IP protocols and DISABLE the deprecated VIA protocol.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS -> double click TCP/IP to open the TCP/IP properties dialogue.  On the Protocol tab Enabled: Yes, Keep Alive: 30000, changed Listen All to No.  I've tried it both
    ways, but I've got six IP addresses on my server and I wanted to configure SQLEXPRESS to listen to only the first and primary IP.  On the IP Addresses tab went to IPALL and cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field. 
    For my first and primary IP Address I made sure that Enabled was Yes, I cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field, and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field.  For all other IP Addresses Enabled was set to No and I cleared both the TCP Dynamic Ports and TCP Port
    fields.
    CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services -> SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) right click and Restart.  This of course stopped and restarted my instance of SQLX_SRV enabling the TCP/IP configuration in the previous step to take effect.
    On my server, SQLX_SRV is the only instance of SQL Server running and so it's easy to hard wire it to the default port 1433.
    The instance name for both SQLX_SRV and SQLX_LOC is the default "SQLEXPRESS".  My server machine name is "SERVER1" on the EnglishBrains.com domain.  So the proper local name (local within the context of my remote server as connected via RDC) for
    my instance of SQLX_SRV would be:
    SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS 
    Note the use of a backslash NOT a forward slash. 
    Of course to connect remotely from my development machine, which is not on the same domain as my hosting server, I would need to specify the domain as well, so the SQL Server name becomes:
    SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
    I must also use SQL Server Authentication.  Before I can use such a remote connection, however, there are still several configuration steps required.  So on my server (connected via RDC) I used MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS
    for the server name and Windows Authentication.  Once connected I performed the following steps:
    MS_SRV -> right click the connected parent SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS instance node at the top -> Properties -> Security -> Server authentication: select "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode".  This will enable connections using either type
    of authentication.
    Next, leaving the Server Properties dialogue open, Connections -> check "Allow remote connections to this server" box.
    Click OK to save these changes and close the Server Properties dialogue.
    MS_SRV -> Security -> right click Logins and select "New Login...", the Login - New dialogue opens.
    On the General page Enter a name for your new login
    Select SQL Server Authorization
    Enter and confirm a password
    Uncheck Enforce password expiration
    Select the default Database and Language
    On the ServerRoles page Public will be checked, also check SysAdmin.  This is probably not a good idea and I'll uncheck this as soon as I can connect to the SQLX_SRV.
    On the User Mapping page select the databases you want your new Login to access and enter the Default Schema of "dbo".
    At the bottom of the User Mapping page you'll see the Database Roles table.  Public will be selected by default.  Also select db_Owner.  Again this is probably not a good idea, and I'll refine this once I can connect.
    On the Status page confirm that "Grant" is checked under "Permission to connect to database engine" and "Enable" is checked under "Login".
    Click OK to save all changes and close the Login - New dialogue.
    With these steps completed you should now be able to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SQL Server Authentication by supplying the name and password for your new Login.  I tried this and it worked fine.  Next I tried to use this same login
    remotely, that is I went to my local development machine and used MS_LOC to try and connect to SQLX_SRV by using
    SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
    and opting for SQL Server Authentication and supplying the name and password of my new login.
    THIS DID NOT WORK??  Instead I get the following error message:
    Cannot connect to SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS.
    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:

    For help, click:
    http://www.microsoft.com/products/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=-1
    If you follow the suggested help link, you are told:
    The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server.  This error could be caused by one of the following reasons:
    A specified SQL Server instance name is not valid.
    The TCP, or named pipes protocols are not enabled.
    The firewall on the server has refused the connection.
    The SQL Server Browser service (sqlbrowser) is not started.
    WRONG on all 4 counts!  The instance name IS valid.  Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols are enabled.  The firewall has been shut down, so it is not relevant.  Finally the SQL Server Browser IS started.
    The next thing I tried was to circumvent discovery by the SQL Browser service by using the following syntax to specify the IP address and port directly when specifying the SQL Server name.
    tcp:68.71.134.186,1433
    Using this in the Server Name field I was able to use MS_SRV to successfully connect to SQLX_SRV (using SQL Server Authentication of course) with or without the SQL Browser service running. 
    However when I tried to connect from MS_LOC to SQLX_SRV using this same login (WITH SQL Browser service running just for good measure) it does not work??  I get the following error message:
    Cannot connect to tcp:68.71.134.186,1433.
    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
    TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10060)
    For help, click:
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=10060&LinkId=20476
    If you follow the help link you are told:
    "The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could occur because either the firewall on the server has refused the connection or the server is not configured to accept remote connections."
    However, the firewall has been shut down and the server HAS been configured to accept remote connections! 
    I confirmed that i could indeed Ping to 68.71.134.186  and running NetStat -a |find /i "listening" on the server shows that the server is indeed listening at 68.71.134.186 Port 1433 -- which is why I was able to connect to SQLX_SRV using MS_SRV with
    tcp:68.71.134.186,1433 .
    IN SUMMARY: Even though I can connect to my SQLEXPRESS instance multiple ways from the server itself, I cannot connect remotely from my development machine! 
    If anyone can help me figure out why I would be very, very grateful!

    My two cents to help you out on c# code example to configure the remote sql server express.
    Hope it helps. It works, but you have to be extra carefull to read it all and setup the server configuration and netsh commands; also the port fowarding on the router.

    static void Main(string[] args)
    // this is the local sql server connection
    // 192.168.1.101\SQLEXPRESS
    // now, the configuration for remote access:
    // activate SQL SERVER BROWSER - set it to start "automatic"; then START UP
    // SQL Server Configuration Manager
    // --> SQL SERVER BROWSER -> properties -> Service -> Start Mode -> automatic -> apply
    // --> Log On -> Start -> Ok
                // netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 1433 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = all profile = CURRENT
                // netsh firewall set portopening protocol = UDP port = 1434 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = all profile = CURRENT
                // netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name = SQLPort dir = in protocol = tcp action = allow localport = 1433 remoteip = any profile = PUBLIC
                // netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name = SQLPort dir = in protocol = udp action = allow localport = 1434 remoteip = any profile = PUBLIC
    // VERY IMPORTANT FOR REMOTE ACCESS: you have to add the rules on port fowarding
    // on the router!!!
    // TCP: 1433
    // UDP: 1434
    // or just a personal port like TCP 31433/UDP 31434

  • Shrink Log file in log shipping and change the database state from Standby to No recovery mode

    Hello all,
    I have configured sql server 2008 R2 log shipping for some databases and I have two issues:
    can I shrink the log file for these databases: If I change the primary database from full to simple and shrink the log file then change it back to full recovery mode the log shipping will fail, I've seen some answers talked about using "No
    Truncate" option, but as I know this option will not affect the log file and it will shrink the data file only.
          I also can't create maintenance to reconfigure the log shipping every time I want to shrink the log file because the database size is huge and it will take time to restore in the DR site, so the reconfiguration
    is not an option :( 
    how can I change the secondary database state from Standby to No recovery mode? I tried to change it from the wizard and wait until the next restore for the transaction log backup, but the job failed and the error was: "the step failed". I need
    to do this to change the mdf and ldf file location for the secondary databases.
    can any one help?
    Thanks in advance,

    1. If you change recovery model of database in logshipping to simple and back to full Logshipping will break and logs wont be resored on Secondary server as log chain will be broken.You can shrink log file of primary database but why would you need that
    what is schedule of log backup. Frequent log backup is already taking care of log files why to shrink it and create performance load on system when log file will ultimately grow and since because instant file initilaization is not for Log files it takes time
    to grow and thus slows performace.
    You said you want to shrink as Database size is huge is it huge or does it have lots of free space. dont worry about data file free space it will eventually be utilized by SQL server when more data comes
    2. You are following wrong method changing state to no recovery would not even allow you to run select queries which you can run in Standby mode. Please refer below link to move Secondary data and log files

  • Configuring OSX 10.6.8 server for Airport.

    How do I configure OSX 10.6.8 server for Airport when only configured for ethernet? I am moving to an un-cabled and non-ethernet environment. Is it straightforward and do-able by a moderately informed amateur?

    Bridged mode — what's more commonly called an "Access Point" or an "AP" configuration — means...
    the WiFi devices are network "transparent", and function roughly analogous to a hunk of Ethernet wiring.
    the WiFi devices are not operating as IP routers.
    DHCP and the rest of your services are running directly from your OS X Server box.
    that there is no need to deal with IP subnet routing.
    little or no need to change the OS X Server configuration.
    portable devices can move among multiple local WiFi (AP/bridged) devices, without reconnecting.
    If you choose to run your WiFi as routers, you'll be dealing with all the "fun" that is multiple routers. Which is entirely possible, but an approach that requires rather more knowledge of IP.   Also that if (when?) you start using have more than one WiFi device, that clients will have to drop off and reconnect.
    I also prefer a dedicated firewall-gateway box and preferably one with VPN server capabilities, and generally not prefering to use an Airport-class device in that role, nor do I prefer to use an OS X Server box as the firewall-gateway box.  This makes the network simpler, and avoids (unintentionally) exposing ports or such outside your network due to software reconfigurations or sometimes after software installs and updates.
    I'd encourage some general homework here, and do some reading on setting up an IP network, IP routing and related. This area is usually fairly simple — once you've done a few — but it's rather more that can easily fit into a small text input box.  Apple has some related documentation here and here and here and here, and probably a few other spots.  Or get some help.

  • Multiple pdf attachments from server folder using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

    Dears,
    I am trying to build a program able to send an email with multiple pdf attachments.
    The files are stored in a folder in SAP server.
    I am able to generate a pdf file from a spool and sucessfully attach it to the email using:
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
          IMPORTING
            bin_filesize           = v_bin_filesize
          TABLES
            otf                    = job_output_info-otfdata
            doctab_archive         = it_docs
            lines                  = it_lines
          EXCEPTIONS
            err_conv_not_possible  = 1
            err_otf_mc_noendmarker = 2
            OTHERS                 = 3.
        IF sy-subrc = 0.
          LOOP AT it_lines.
            TRANSLATE it_lines USING ' ~'.
            CONCATENATE gd_buffer it_lines INTO gd_buffer.
          ENDLOOP.
          TRANSLATE gd_buffer USING '~ '.
          DO.
            it_mess_att_aux = gd_buffer.
            APPEND it_mess_att_aux.
            SHIFT gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
            IF gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
              EXIT.
            ENDIF.
          ENDDO.
        ENDIF.
    Internal table it_mess_att_aux is the parameter contents_bin of FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
    I have now 2 files on a server folder which I would like to include as well.
    I am reading the content of the pdf files in following way:
    DATA:   gd_buffer                 TYPE string,
          OPEN DATASET lv_fileserver FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
            MESSAGE e257(zmsgsd) WITH lv_fileserver.
          ELSE.
            CLEAR: it_mess_att_aux[], gd_buffer.
            DO.
              READ DATASET lv_fileserver INTO gd_buffer.
              IF sy-subrc <> 0.
                EXIT.
              ENDIF.
              APPEND gd_buffer TO it_mess_att_aux.
            ENDDO.
            APPEND LINES OF it_mess_att_aux TO it_mess_att.
    I do not understand the purpose of the statement:
            TRANSLATE it_lines USING ' ~'.
    in this context. Could anyone explain it?
    All the files are attached to email with the desired name but corrupted and with the wrong size.
    Can anyone help me build the logic to attach a pdf file from server in a email?
    Thank you in advance,
    Kind Regards,
    João Cabrita

  • Emails to/from server always bounce to some domains

    Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I've wasted 2 full days and sporadic time throughout the last 3 weeks on this.
    I recently migrated a site from Server 2003 to a new Windows Server 2008 server. Ever since the move, my emails to and from my email address bounce from the server. I've spent 3 weeks with tech support on both ends getting nowhere.
    Here's a rundown of the problem and what I've done about it:
    Problem 1: Email from my domain (call it mydomain .tld) sent to the new server (call it serverdomain .tld) always bounces
    Emails sent from mydomain .tld to serverdomain .tld get bounced back INSTANTLY with the error "550-The mail server could not deliver mail to "user@ serverdomain .tld".  The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper
    dns entries."
    Problem 2: Email from serverdomain .tld sent to mydomain .tld always bounces
    Emails sent from serverdomain .tld directly to mydomain .tld always bounce back after a 5-10 second delay with the error "550 Sender verify failed."
    All emails were sent directly from server to server using webmail interfaces.
    Possible problems/solutions I've explored:
    Spam Filtering:
    The new server's mail server (SmarterMail 2010) has spam filter bouncing disabled. No blacklists or greylists are defined.
    The server hosting my email account is a shared hosted server, so I don't have access to its spam settings, but I have been assured by their technical support that the server's IP address is not blacklisted or blocked in any way.
    Blacklist tests at MXToolBox.org all come up clean.
    SPF Records:
    I have defined an SPF (TXT) record for the domain "v=spf1 ip4:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -all", which points to the IP address of the mail server / web server. I do not have a type (SPF) record as Windows Server doesn't have an option for this type of record.
    SPF test passes without errors at www . kitterman.com/spf/validate.html. Test email through spf-test@ openspf.net returns no errors.
    Reverse Lookup:
    I have a working reverse IP set up and is confirmed by checking it at ipadmin.junkemailfilter.com/rdns.php that points back to serverdomain .tld.
    Testing through Telnet actually works:
    I followed the steps at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123686.aspx to log into the SMTP server on the new server's end and was able to successfully send an email manually to the new server, even using the same email address that keeps failing to send
    directly to the server.
    Some observations from the logs:
    When sending email from mydomain .tld to serverdomain .tld, NO LOG ENTRIES are created at serverdomain .tld. This leads me to believe something is blocking it before it ever connects to the server.
    When sending email from serverdomain .tld to mydomain .tld, the following log entries are created:

    I'm totally at a loss. This is not just blocking email to/from me, but it has blocked email to at least one other domain name as well. I can get no useful help from tech support on either end.
    (I had to put spaces in all links in this post because it wouldn't let me post links. Also, this forum crashes every single time I try to post in IE9, but works fine in FireFox. How ironic is that...)

    I can only help with Exchange, but generally speaking, that line;
    13:02:57 [60055] RSP: 550-The mail server could not deliver mail to user@ serverdomain .tld.  The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns entries.
    Mean the server checked the GAL (it's global adress book) and it refused it. It's usually a simple antispam and antirelay configuration. The strange thing is the log after, that the email is received...
    That lead me to think the antispam software/hardware is badly configured, and for a reason X, it does not block the email from passing by it's filter. So yes, their answer is correct, but that mean all email is filtered in some way, so it's not
    correct in some way too.
    Does they configured your domain alias correctly and such basic information ? I have a big doubth at this point.
    Run some wireshark to be sure the problem is not in your CIE, and after pass that to their IT's tech, if the email is sent correctly, and you receive a server answer back, then something in their config is not ok.
    Don't forget that if the packet X is sent on your WAN to their datacenter, they are responsable for the correct receiving when it enter their datacenter.
    (edited: A last point; don't forget they HAVE to run a antispam's box, as the MX is the same IP, so basicly the antispam box dispatch the email to the correct server (like check
    https://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/downloads/Setup_Guides/Barracuda_Email_Security_Service_SG_US.pdf) you will see what I mean, a list of domain and server)

  • Delete Email from Server... or Not...

    I have yet to see a single person raise the same challenge I am having with email. So, I suspect there must be a feature I am not configuring properly... or something.
    I have configured a POP email account. I want to be able to delete from the server AND just from the handheld without going back into the configuration menu. Is there a way to do this? Just looking for the flexibility to keep some emails on the server AND eliminate spam from the server so that, when I get to my email client on my laptop, on the email I chose not to delete from the server remains. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer.

    ampullae,
    There is a setting on the iPhone for POP accounts that will remove messages from the server. If you check in Settings > Mail, tap on your POP account, and go to Advanced, you will see an option to "Delete from Server." You can use the option "When removed from Inbox" so that when you move spam messages to the trash, they should be removed from the POP server. You can also set the frequency to remove deleted messages off the iPhone so that the messages you have in the trash will be deleted.
    I would highly recommend testing this process with some test messages until you find the settings that work best for you, so that you do not end up deleting important messages by mistake.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.
