Confused About iCal with Server

Hi,
Our office has just added a server and now our iCal calenders look very different. I have three categories on my calendar list. First there is "Calendars", which has Work, Home, and Training Classes in it. Then there is" Xserve.Local", which has a calendar for me in it. Lastly there is a section called "Delegates", which has calenders for everyone in the office, including the same calendar for me that appears under "XServe.Local".
Before the server came, I could enter private events and set alarms for them. Now everything I add seems to be visible to everyone in the office. Do I still have a local calendar? How do I access it?
MultiMacs

I think the first method is mostly for calendars shared via mobileme. I don't know if it will even work for google. I would suggest using the method recommended by google. it works for me.

Question about VPN with Server 2012

I am a programmer, but I know enough about network and server configs to be slightly dangerous when it comes to configurations.
My task today was to try to setup VPN access at our office. We have a 2012R2 standard server that was not doing anything (not even on), so I decided it would be the perfect machine for the job.
To make this as short as possible, we are a real small office, 3 guys. We have a high end (although consumer grade) router that is not a VPN end point, but does support VPN tunneling through its firewall. Router is DHCP server, however most workstations
and servers in the office are setup with statics.
I got everything to work (pats self on back) to allow me to create a new VPN connection from an outside Windows client machine, and everything worked as I wanted it to, except for machine name resolution. I understand this is due to limitations in NetBIOS
and how that all works. I found an article about setting up a WINS server, and once I did that, it resolved my issue and I was able to connect to shares or RDP to machines by name instead of by local IP address.
So I came here to ask this:
1) The WINS server method required me to manually add each machine/IP I wanted to register. I am not sure why this is, but I am thinking it has to do with the server not acting as the DHCP/DNS server (or maybe this is just how WINS works?). This isn't a
HUGE deal, but it would be nice if I didn't have to manually manage this list. If Windows clients on the local network here can broadcast and see all available network machines, why can't the WINS server make the same network crawl automatically?
2) In reading about the WINS server, most people said it was a relic and one should use DNS instead. I am looking for more information on this, to see if this is something I should consider or worry about.
3) Would I make my life easier if I made the 2012 server both DHCP and DNS server and removed those tasks from the router?
A side note if it matters, we are NOT on a domain here, just a loose set of workgroup machines. We find that setting up a whole DC and adding all these machines and accounts to a domain is counter productive for us, because we are such a small shop here,
with nothing to restrict from each other, and we find that adding a domain into the picture complicates things more than it simplifies things. Of course unless someone can make a case why we should just move to being on a DC.

Hi,
There have the Browser Elections procedure when you use WINS service, but the WINS service in domain environment and workgroup environment have the different Browser Election.
By default, all domain controllers in a domain are browser servers.
You can refer the following KB to understand the procedure:
Browser Elections
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959896.aspx
How Computer Browser Service Works
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737661(v=ws.10).aspx
Description of the Microsoft Computer Browser Service
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188001
If you install a WINS server the WINS server will handles name registration requests from WINS clients, register their names and IP addresses, and responds to NetBIOS name
queries submitted by clients, returning the IP address of a queried name if it is listed in the server database.
WINS provides the following benefits for administering your TCP/IP-based network:
A dynamic name-to-address database that maintains support for computer name registration and resolution.
Centralized management of the name-to-address database, alleviating the need for managing Lmhosts files.
Reduction of NetBIOS-based broadcast traffic on subnets, by permitting clients to query WINS servers to directly locate remote systems.
Support for earlier Microsoft® Windows® and NetBIOS-based clients on your network, permitting these types of clients to browse lists for remote Windows domains without requiring
a local domain controller to be present on each subnet.
Support for DNS-based clients by enabling those clients to locate NetBIOS resources when WINS lookup integration is implemented.

Confused about licensing with JDev and components

Ok, now I'm very confused.
JDev is free and ADF Faces go to OS but I dont understand what can I deploy and what I cant.
Could some one explain what can I deploy for free and what not,
Regards.

If you are talking specifically about ADF Faces - the version that Oracle provides is part of the overall ADF framework which is free for deployment on the Oracle Application Server and costs money on other servers.
You can pick up the distribution that Apache will provide from the ADF Faces components that we contributed to them - and then you can use those components for Free on any server.
Oracle ADF (the drag and drop data binding and the TopLink or ADF BC components) is again free on Oracle AS, and costs money to deploy on other servers.
And JDeveloper itself is free.

Confusion about development vs server (client) runtimes

I built some reports using Crystal XI for a client at their offices.
They asked that I write a program to help automate the running of those reports. They don't have visual studio, so I developed the program on my laptop. I have visual studio 2008. I also recently installed the trial version of crystal 2008.
The reports are not embedded in the app. The app is simply there to run reports that exist on the server where the same report must be generated multiple times using different parameters.
The code in the app which references the report looks like so:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument report = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
report.Load(Properties.Settings.Default.ReportPath + Properties.Settings.Default.CTIReportName);
My project of course has a reference to the crystal assemblies, which I assume were installed with the trial version of crystal 2008.
Trying to run the application on their box results in the failure to load crystaldecisions.windows.forms, etc, which I suppose is because their assemblies are not the same version as mine.
Is there any way to get this to work, or does my development machine have to have the same version of crystal installed as their production machine? I'm thinking the best way might be for me to install visual studio on their box just to re-add the referenecs and compile the app, but having to do this seems silly.

I discovered that the downloadable Crystal XI R2 demo has the same assemblies as Crystal XI R1 used by my client, so this solved my issue.

How JavaFX can communicate with server?

What is about communications with server from my JavaFX applet? Nowhere here found any of turorial or info how to support this thing. I need to develope web application, where my javaFX web app will not only makes different animations but should communicate with server very much. What approach to use in this case? Will we see here good example of how this could be managed?For now I see only client side stand-alone application.

There are examples of JavaFX programs using Web services in the mentioned samples. For example [LocalSearch: Location-Based Coffee Shop Search With Yahoo Webservices|http://www.javafx.com/samples/LocalSearch/index.html], [Shopping Service: Accessing Yahoo's Shopping API from JavaFX|http://www.javafx.com/samples/ShoppingService/index.html], [Weather Widget: Getting Weather Forecast from Yahoo!|http://www.javafx.com/samples/WeatherWidget/index.html], and some others.

New Server 2012 R2 server to take over for 2008 R2 - confused about alias necessity

Hello,
Have Server 2008 R2 running in a small environment (35 users). It was time to get new hardware and it has been setup with Server 2012 R2. Already promoted to DC and running DNS. Ready to transfer FSMO roles over to the 2012 R2 server.
My concern/confusion comes here:
Users have network drives mapped to old server (i.e.
\\dc1\share)
New servername is for instance "dc2"
Do I demote dc1, remove it from the environment and create an alias named dc1 pointing to dc2, thus, networked drives and network printer shares continue to work, or is there a better way to do this?
thanks

imho just update mapped drives using gpo and that's all
if you have just one server for all stuff, don't demote old one , keep 2 servers alive (if you can, I don't know, maybe you need give old one away) and you will have redundancy. Then if you got 2 servers do DFS shares (shares will have names not bind
to servers name so you can add, replace server's with no problems and have redundancy of shared folders too)

HT3529 I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off? I can usually send the message, but often do not receive messages until I either have wifi or turn cellular on.

I am confused about messaging. Shouldn't I be able to send and receive messages with cellular data off and without wifi? I can send the message but often do not receive messages from others, iPhone or other, until I turn on cellular or wifi.

Depends on the type of Message.
SMS messages will send and receive with data off. and while you can guarantee you send using SMS you cannot guarantee that whoever replies to you does also. They may be replying thorugh iMessage if they are using iPhones.
However Android should be sending through SMS.
You can turn off iMessage if you want to, though people with limtied SMS text messaging in their plans may not appreciate it, and stop messaging you.

Outlook clients with SL server and ICAL/Addressbook server

Hi!
I have a customer intrested in replacing their old SSB 2003 server with an SL server. I wonder if this combo can accommodate their calendaring needs.
- They need to view eachothers calendars side by side in outlook
- They need to have shared calendars with read/write access
- Central store for contacts
They want the experience to closely reassemble Outlook/Exchange, but are prepared to make some changes in working methods if nessecary.
Is this even possible or are they forced to move to a new SBS 2008 server instead? They are only 7 in the office, so doing witout an expensive SBS 2008 server would save them around 5000$ in investments.

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

I'm confused... My iPod is about full with just over 1500 songs??

Can someone please help me? I am new to all of this MP3 player business, but I am confused about my 5th gen iPod. I bought the 16gb instead of 8 so I could have lots of songs, but still tape my lectures at school. I have only ~1500 songs, but it is just about full. When I bought it, it said it holds about 4000 songs. Did I do something wrong? All I did was pop a CD into my computer, iTunes downloaded the info, and then I synced my iPod. Is there a reason I don't even have half of what I should have?
Please help.
Thank you.

Which format do you encode your tracks (e.g. MP3, AIFF, Apple Lossless, etc.) and for the compressed ones, at what bit rate (e.g. 128, 160, etc.)? And are a lot of your songs long ones?
Encoding and bit rate both effect file size. Apple's estimates on how many songs your iPod can hold are based on 128 kbps AAC files that average something like 3 or 4 minutes (I forget which). Long songs, higher bit rates, and other formats (AIFF, WAV, and Apple Lossless in particular) will result in much larger file sizes and more space taken up by your library.

Synching ical with coworker ical

Looking to synch my ical with my business partners. Help Please

Hey DorseyHolme,
Check out the following instructions, they'll go through how to use iCal with your business partners by publishing and subscribing:
Mac Basics: iCal (OS X Lion and earlier)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2513
Publish your calendar
To make your calendar available to others, choose Publish from the Calendar menu. In the resulting dialog, type a name for your calendar in the top field, choose to publish it on your own server from the "Publish on" pop-up menu, select any of the other options you want, and then click Publish.
When iCal finishes publishing, a dialog opens and displays the URL for your calendar—be sure to write this information down.
Subscribe to other calendars
You can use iCal to subscribe to someone's published calendar, such as a family member, your work team, or a publicly available iCal schedule.
If you have an iCloud account set up in iCal, you can choose to add the subscribed calendar to that account. You can then view the subscribed calendar in iCal as well as in the Calendar app on your iOS 5 or later devices that have been configured for iCloud. This works without having to resubscribe to the calendar.
In iCal, choose Calendar > Subscribe.
Enter the web address for the calendar you want to subscribe to, and then click Subscribe.
Type a name for the calendar in the Name field and choose a calendar color from the adjacent pop-up menu.
If you have an iCloud account, choose whether you want the calendar to be located only on your Mac or on your iCloud account. If you want to view a subscription calendar in iCal and in the Calendar app on devices with iOS 5 or later without resubscribing to the calendar, choose your iCloud account.
If you want to receive any reminders or attachments, or hear any alarms associated with the calendar, deselect the appropriate Remove checkboxes.
If you want iCal to update your copy of this calendar when changes to it are published on the Internet, choose the update frequency from the “Auto- refresh” pop-up menu.
Click OK.
The calendar you subscribed to appears in your Calendars pop-up list under the heading "Subscriptions." To make changes to the calendar, click Calendars, select the calendar, and then choose Edit > Get Info.Notes
Subscriptions that you manually add on iOS devices will not push to iCloud; you need to subscribe to calendars using iCal on OS X to push those subscriptions to your other devices and computers.
icloud.com and Microsoft Outlook will not display subscribed calendars pushed to iCloud.
Find more information about using iCloud with calendar subscriptions.
All the best,
David

Confusion about recovery

Hi ,
I am new to the DBA field and I have a confusion about recovery.
The confusion is if a database is in noarchivelog mode can a database be recovered from commited changes that were there in the redo log files ?
If I provide the path name of the redo log files while using recover database using cancel will it work at all given that the database is in noarchivelog mode ?
Please help to clear my doubts..

Oracle can use the Online Redo Logs for Recovery. Normally this happens in the case of Instance Recovery (e.g. from a server crash or shutdown abort) -- where the datafiles are not restored from a prior backup.
If you restore datafiles from a prior backup, you are doing a media recovery. In NOARCHIVELOG mode, you could not have run a backup with the database OPEN, so the backup would have been run with the database SHUTDOWN or MOUNTed. At the subsequent startup, transactions would be in the online redo logs only until LGWR does a "wrap around" and overwrites the first redo log used after the startup. It is only within this window that transactions are in the redo logs.+
Remember that LGWR uses a "round-robin" algorithm to cycle through the online redo logs. So, if the Online Redo Log that was CURRENT at the time of the backup has been overwritten, you cannot use the Online Redo Logs for a RECOVERy+._
You must also ensure that there are no NOLOGGING operations !!
One thing that you might trip up on is the behaviour of CTAS. A "CREATE TABLE AS SELECT" is, by default LOGGING in an ARCHIVELOG database. However, it is automatically a Direct Path operation in a NOARCHIVELOG database ! So the blocks for such a table would be "corrupt" if you attempt a recovery from the Online Redo Log as the row inserts are not captured.

Confusion about Kodo and JCA

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about Kodo's Connection Architecture strategy. It is my understanding that
PMF's can be built to use the connection architecture. Along this line, one would configure the
ConnectionFactory or ConnectionFactoryName, and possibly the ConnectionFactory2 and
ConnectionFactory2Name properties in a PMF. The result of the PMF implementation supporting the
connection architecture is nice integration with the application servers in terms of security,
transaction, and connection management. One can lookup in JNDI a reference to a Kodo PMF that
supports datastore transactions or to another one that supports optimistic transactions or to
another one that supports NTR, and with proper settings of the transactional properties and suitable
application code, one's sesson bean will work.
But from what I can see of Kodo's JDOPersistenceManagerFactory class, it, itself, implements the
ManagedConnectionFactory interface, meaning, I think, that this class is resource adaptor. And that
the part that confuses me. Why would Kodo be a resource adaptor? I thought it used a resource
adaptor, which I think is the same thing as a connection factory.
Anyway, I'm puzzled, and I'm hoping that someone could straighten me out.
David Ezzio

David-
The fact that Kodo can integrate into an application server as a
Resource Adaptor, and section 3.2.2 of the specification that says that
the PersistentManagerFactory should be able to utilize a Resource
Adaptor to obtain connections to the data store are two separate issues.
We implement Kodo itself as a Resource Adaptor in order to provide ease
of integration into recent application servers. Your confusion is
understandable, since we do not actually yet support the use of Resource
Adaptors as the Connection Factories as per section 3.2.2.
Does that make sense?

I'm a bit confused about standby log files

Hi all,
I'm a bit confused about something and wondering if someone can explain.
I have a Primary database that ships logs to a Logical Standby database.
Everything appears to be working properly. If I check the v$archived_log table in the Primary and compare it to the dba_logstdby_log view in the Logical Standby, I'm seeing that logs are being applied.
On the logical standby, I have the following configured for log_archive_dest_n parameters:
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/u01/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_2='LOCATION=/u02/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_3='LOCATION=/u03/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_4='SERVICE=PNX8A_WDC ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_WDC'
*.log_archive_dest_5='LOCATION=/u01/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_6='LOCATION=/u02/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_7='LOCATION=/u03/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
Here is my confusion now. Before converting from a Physical standby database to a Logical Standby database, I was under the impression that I needed the standby logs (i.e. log_archive_dest_5, 6 and 7 above) because a Physical Standby database would receive the redo from the primary and write it into the standby logs before applying the redo in the standby logs to the Physical standby database.
I've now converted to a Logical Standby database. What's happening is that the standby logs are accumulating in the directory pointed to by log_archive_dest_6 above (/u02/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1). They do not appear to be getting cleaned up by the database.
In the Logical Standby database I do have STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT parameter set to AUTO. Can anyone explain to me why standby log files would continue to accumulate and how I can get the Logical Standby database to remove them after they are no longer needed on the LSB db?
Thanks in advance.

I assume you mean in your question, why on the standby database I am using three standby log locations (i.e. log_archive_dest_5, 6, and 7)?
If that is your question, my answer is that I just figured more than one location would be safer but I could be wrong about this. Can you tell me if only one location should be sufficient for the standby logs? The more I think of this, that is probably correct because I assume that Log Transport services will re-request the log from the Primary database if there is some kind of error at the standby location with the standby log. Is this correct?As simple configure as below. Why more multiple destinations for standby?

Swamped and confused about products

Hi guys,
I am new to Oracle middleware products. After looking at a few articles, I am swamped and confused about those products, WebCenter (WC), Content Server (CS), Universal Content Management (UCM).
1. WC has a built-in content database, part of Oracle database. CS also stores contents into Oracle database. Then what are differences between two types of content storage? Can I build WebCenter with Content Server as the content storage?
2. WebCenter provides management functions on content. So does UCM. Users could contribute, review and release contents to web via both. Then what are differences between two types of content management? What more does UMC provide than the built-in content management in WC.
3. Content Server needs a third-party web server (port:80) to publish its content. WebCenter Suite seems use Oracle HTTP Server (port:7777) to render web pages. Is it possible to integrate those two on one web server? Why is Oracle HTTP Server using a weird port?
4. JDeveloper has the built-in OC4J container. But how can JDeveloper access or interact with Content Server or WC content database? Site Studio can access Content Server directly but only provides very limited portlet or ajax components. If I want to store web pages, static or dynamic, into WC and/or CS, which tool should I use?
Can anybody help me with them? Or please point me to the right direction. I really appreciate it.
thanks,
Chen
