Connecting MDM to multiple instances of XI

Hi All,
does anyone know if it is a) possible and b) sensible to connect a single instance of MDM to multiple instances of XI?
We have two regional XI instances set-up, but a single MDM instance being planned - I guess the question I'm asking is, can we use the single MDM instance to manage the data for all the client systems we have attached to both instances of XI??? (e.g. region 1 R/3, region 2 R/3, region 1 BW, region 2 BW etc).
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
Cheers
Tim.

Hi Tim,
I guess this is possible. If you set-up syndication, you will need to ensure you use different ports/folders for each of the XI systems and then configure XI to fetch the files from the folder assigned to them.
I think you could also verify if one XI could be the primary one, routing information to the other box if needed.
Regards,
Dirk

  • Multiple instances of one app of the same name

    Hello,
    we have few FMS/AMS servers, versions 4, 4.5 and 5, running some kind of internet TV tubes on them.
    Each tube is supposed to run as unique instance of a Tube app, with unique settings for publishing to CDN (Akamai).
    Sometimes following scenario happens: We reload the stream via administration console or administration API with use of reloadApp command, instance starts closing sequence, even triggers onAppStop event. But as the new instance starts, the old process wakes up again and lives together with the new one - when I check then throught administration API with use of getActiveInstances command, it shows me more instance of the same name as result - for example:
    -<data>
    <_0>tv_app/tube25</_0>
    <_1>tv_app/tube2</_1>
    <_2>tv_app/tube21</_2>
    <_3>tv_app/tube2</_3>
    <_4>tv_app/tube2</_4>
    </data>
    From logs I can see that each of that instances runs under different process ID (x pid column).
    This is quite unpreffered behaviour, as with the same connection settings the multiple instances steals the connection to CDN entry point from each other which causes problems and unpredictable behaviour...
    I have following questions related to this:
    1. - Why the onAppStop is triggered when using reloadApp and unloadApp commands or buttons in admin console, when documentation says that this event should not be triggered on these ocassions (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/ssaslr/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7 edfSSASLR.2.3.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7fe2SSASLR.2.3)
    2. - How is it possible that system runs more instances of the same app with the same name? How to avoid such behaviour?
    I already noticed following aspects to have influence on the possibility to run multiple instance with the same name and got rid of them but problem still persists:
    - case sensivity of app name (one client connects to TV_app/tube2 and other connects to tv_app/tube2)
    - using false as return value in onAppStop event handler - when reloaded, new instance is started but the old one persists
    I am very eager to hear some explanation or clarification of such logic as it comes to me as some kind of internal bug as I have found everywhere that the instances names should be always unique....
    Thanks

    I just want to note that my recommendations led my clients to purchase more than 5 licences of FMIS/AMIS througt the time.
    As I see how low is the passion to react to any problem on Adobe side, I would have probably changed my mind.
    This is really pain in the *** as any call to adobe official contact (taken on mind that to find one is a big quest by itself) lead just to reply "pay nasty amount for our consultancy Sir!" and it does not look any better here....
    I am no novice on FMS/AMS platform, working with it more than 6 years throught many projects and I would not ask for some stupid questions which could be solved just by looking to documentation or could be solved by some performance eperience.
    I am really upset for this :/

  • Contribute multiple instances of the same connection appear on login/start screen

    I am administering a series of sub-websites under one primary umbrella.
    - The Primary Umbrella site does not run under the Contribute Publishing Server
    - The secondary (child) sites are managed by the Contribute Publishing Server
    - We recently added a user to several of these subsites
    - After we added the user, we've had a problem with other user profiles.
    - Multiple instances of the same connection will appear upon login on the start screen ( about:startscreen ). However the user seems to only be able to credential to one of them, not both.
    I have gone into the user profile directory within Windows directory structure and removed both site dirs. However when restarting and reconnecting, both appear again.
    Anyone else have this issue and what is the remedy and fix?

    I tried to add a screenshot, however it would not let me upload.
    I get: An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again.

  • Local connection multiple instance

    Hi,
    I have used local connection between an action script 3 and action script 2 file which is working correctly.
    But when we open application in multiple tabs of browser it shows error that the "file is already connected". Is there any way to open the multiple instance of the object.
    Thanks,
    Amit

    No, you cannot have multiple connection with the same name. If each tab represents unrelated sets of SWFs - you will need to figure out a way to create random dynamic connection names and make all swfs aware of this name. Depending on your architecture this dynamic name may be delivered via JavaScript or, is SWFs are served on the same page and you have controls over page serving - supply it as page url variable which is read by SWFs. In both cases you will need ExternalInterface capacities.

    The only observations are that the backup drive is deemed too small and the quite long list of diagnostic reports dated between  Jan 18, 2015 (which I believe is the day I upgraded to Yosemite) & today the latest Yosemite update was installed on Jan 28, 2015
    Any further assistance will be appreciated

  • Multiple instance of same mac on network

    Hello,
    Running OS X Yosemite, I've noticed multiple instances of the same mac appearing on my home network.  Has anyone else encountered this and know of a way to fix it?  Currently, I have to try more than one instance before I find the "correct" icon to connect.

    10.10.1, when I posted. Last night I installed 10.10.2.  It got hung up on the "Restarting..." (w/App Store logo) screen for over 2 hrs, so I let it run overnight.  It was still stuck in the morning so I just shut it down.  After restarting, everything looks fine (cautiously optimistic)!  There is only ONE instance on the network!!   I read some tips in other forums and the simplest one I used, which wouldn't do more harm than good, was to turn off my air printer during the reboot.  I am good for now and will repost if the problem returns. William Lloyd how long since you updated have you been multiple-instance-free?

  • Best practice for multiple instances of the same BEX query

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering what's the best way to use multiple instances of the same BEX query. Let me explain what I mean:
    I have a dashboard with different queries feeding different period of time such as: week to date, month to date and so on. One query for each since it is based on a user exit.
    For each query I want to show different data in different sections of my dashboard. Per example: sales per directors or sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week and the like.I tried to connect a simple bar chart via a direct connection but with no success due to the multiple lines generated by the addition of the sales director, customer group, week number and so on.
    My question is about the way to connect the different queries efficiently in order to show the different data while avoiding multiple useless lines.
    The image above shows the query browser where, per example, for a Month to date query there will be mutiple line for each week as well as one line for each director. If, for two different components, I want to show data per week and data per director or other representation what is the best practice:
    Add another instance of the same query and only put the week information and another one will only the director info?
    Should I bind those to the excel file and use formulas to make final calculations?
    Will there be a performance issues for adding different instances of the same query
    I have 6 different queries (read 6 user exit that filters time via user exit).
    Depending on the best practices there might be 4 instances for each for a total of 24 instances in the query browser.
    I hope my question is clear enough, if not please do not hesitate I'll clarify as much as possible.
    Regards,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
    You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
    Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
    Hope this Helps!!!
    Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

  • Problem:Multiple instances of the same applet on a webpage...

    I have an applet which connects to a server to read an XML-file.
    I use Doucument to parse the XML-file like this:
    String xmlurl="http://www.somesite.com/somexmlpage.php";
    Document d =DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(xmlurl);
    (...read the XML-file...)
    This works fine.
    However, I need multiple instances of the same applet running at the same time on the same webpage.
    Now, with multiple applets running at the same time the parsing no loger works. If one applet is doing some parsing and a taskswitch takes place to let another applet run, the applet which is interrupted is not able to continue the parsing as it looses its "incoming data" when another applet reads from the server.
    How can different applets affect each other like this?
    And how can I fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help!!

    However, I need multiple instances of the same applet running at the same time on the same webpage.
    Why? But okay.Because the the different applets show information about different items.
    Now, with multiple applets running at the same time the parsing no loger works. If one applet is doing some parsing and a
    taskswitch takes place to let another applet run, the applet which is interrupted is not able to continue the
    parsing as it looses its "incoming data" when another applet reads from the server.
    How did you determine that's what's happening?By printing out debuginformation.
    Each applet prints out a message (System.out.println) when it creates an instance of Document (ie. connects to the server) and the applet also prints out XML-information as the XML-file is processed.
    But, actually, I was a bit quick in my first post; The applet doesen't neccesarily loose its "incoming data", but the parser looses the data it is parsing. I can download the data from the server first, and then start parsing it. If a taskswitch happens while one applet is parsing, it looses its data, even if the data is allready downloaded.
    I see this since I see another applet making a printout, and when first applet starts again, the parser has lost track of its data.
    It works fine if only one applet is running. And everything is fine until the next applets starts; I can see this from the printout.
    Again, the appet prints out data as it parses the document. I see the next applet starting to work, and when the first one continues parsing again the printout shows that data is no longer there. It happens everytime the runtime switches to another applet, and it never happens if just one applet is running.
    Googeling a little tells me that DocumentBuilder.parse() isn't thread-safe, but this shouldn't have anything to do with it, should it?
    Each applet is a separate process, and not different threads in the same process, aren't they? (Not sure how the runtime treats multiple applets...)And secondly, the applets create their own instance of Document anyways.

  • How to configure multiple instances in CF9

    I'm having a few issues with a couple of our staging servers that are running multiple instances of CF9, and I'm not sure if they're set up correctly. I have CF9 Enterprise multiserver installed and I created 4 additional instances using the Instance Manager. I also created a specific jvm for each one to use and reregistered each service to use the custom jvm. In Apache I added the following to each vhost (changing the serverstore and port):
    <IfModule mod_jrun22.c>
        JRunConfig Serverstore "C:/JRun4/lib/wsconfig/muffin/jrunserver.store"
        JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51000
    </IfModule>
    However, when the service is stopped for one of the sites, instead of getting the JRun 500 error it will instead return a CF error or the site will still come up. But if I stop the main CF server service it will kill all the sites.
    So it seems that all the instances are still tied to the main service. Is there something I'm missing here or something that wasn't configured correctly?
    I used this guide when setting it all up. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf364104-7fc4 .html
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks again for the help, I think we're getting closer
    So I added all the instances to the wsconfig.properties file and they all show up when I run the wsconfig.exe.

  • Problem with multiple instances of shared printers being installed on client computers when the spooler service is started

    Hello,
    We have Windows Server 2012 and clients using Windows 8.  We've been having some printer problems for awhile now that I haven't been able to figure out for the life of me.  The main problem is the fact that printers are installed on computers automatically
    once the drivers are installed.  The side-effect of multiple instances of each printer showing up is very annoying but I suspect fixing the initial problem will resolve this secondary one.
    Here is the rundown:
    We add the shared printers on logon to the clients using the GPO thus installing the drivers locally.
    Whenever the spooler on the client is restarted with the drivers installed, all of the
    shared printers that were previously installed get duplicated 5 more times (for a total of 6 instances of each shared printer) on the "Devices and Printers" page.  This happens
    all the time.
    Removing them only fixes the issue temporarily, as soon as the spooler or computer is restarted, it seems these shared printers are somehow found on the network and the duplicates return.
    Two of these printers are located on different clients, installed locally and shared while the other three are all installed on a server and shared through it.  The issue is the same on all of them.
    Cleaning the spooler completely (registry and files from C:\system32\spool) fixes the issue temporarily as well since, as soon as the drivers are reinstalled, the issue occurs again.
    I've tried many things (disabling the GPO, editing the GPO, printer shares, registry, etc.) and searched tirelessly online for a cause and solution but I'm stumped.  Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this problem and how to resolve it?
    Thanks for your time!
    Update #1: I just tried adding the NoNetCrawling option in the registry found in this article -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320138/en-us
    I couldn't find the same for Windows 8 unfortunately.  I also tried disabling network discovery and all other sharing options to no avail.
    Update #2: I tried isolating the computer to a different subnet and restarting the spooler and, sure enough, the issue didn't occur.  This proves that the issue is network share related.  Also, as soon as I change the IP back to the regular domain
    subnet one, the multiple printer instances re-appeared again.
    Update #3: I just tried doing the same thing but on the server where the printers are installed and shared and, sure enough, despite being in a different subnet, the issue occurred.  This leads me to believe there is a setting on this server at fault.
     Question is, which one?

    We have deployed a brand new Active Directory domain for a customer. ALL the servers without exception are Windows 2012 R2 and all clients are Windows 8.1 32bit VDI clients.
    The issue that we have is around network printers. 
    We are deploying 4 printers  from a Windows 2012 R2 Server via the print management/Deploy Printer and assigning that to a GPO. The printers are deployed to the Computers which should mean that the users get all 4 printers which they then should be allowed
    to set their default and personal settings for that printer.
    Our printers are deployed like this:
    1. Created security group
    2. Assigned VDI computers to the security group
    3. Created GPO to reflect security group
    4. Modify GPO to do security filtering based on computer group membership
    5. Deployed 4 x printers through Print Management to the GPO on a per machine basis
    However, on the users Devices and Printers screen we are not seeing the 4 printers. For some users
    they see duplicates of all 4 printers so e.g they can have upwards of 8 or more. Other users have no printers displayed whatsoever. The next time they log off or restart they then have a different amount of printers displayed.
    If they try and set the default then it will set and the next time they check the default may have moved to another printer even without logging off or back on.
    Now, where this gets strange is within an application such as MS Word 2013 or Notepad if they use the file and print menu the printers will be listed, even if the user has no printers displayed in Devices and Printers. If the users selects a printer then they
    can then print OK.
    If we check HKCU\Printers||Connections then the CORRECT 4 printers are showing as to what is being deployed via the GPO so I know that the Windows 8.1 terminals are receiving the correct printers from the GPO.
    To try and correct this over the course of the week we have deployed the printers via Group Policy Preferences to the user and then the PC to no avail. Currently we are using the Print management\Deployed Printers to deploy all 4 printers to the computer via
    the Computer GPO.
    I believe that this issue is related to the display somehow in Devices and Printers rather than a GPO or print server issue as we can see via the registry the clients are receiving the 4 correct mentioned printers as shown in the registry. 
    FYI: We only have around 30 users and all users are getting this problem. All users are receiving the same GPO's and have the same few apps installed, Office 2013, Adobe Reader etc.
    What we want is for the computers to receive all 4 printers. All users should be able to use all 4 printers but the user should be able to select their particular default, depending where they are located or what they are printing that particular day. Their
    particular default should persist after reboot. (We have 2 x Copiers and 2 x HP Laserjets) All users have redirected documents and desktop but the rest of the profile is on the VDI and persists after their reboot. The profile is not roaming as the user is
    assigned a particular VDI.
    After a week of scratching our heads with this we are open to suggestions and any would be appreciated.
    We have tried following the issues on this thread to no avail either as they still return.

  • Multiple instances of mplayer with jack

    "_R_ealtime software mixing ?!?! wtf thats awesome--actually im not a studio junkie, i just need sound on one of them"
    i understand that the casual nature of my involvement with jackd suggests a less-than-appropriate level of respect and diligence for what this almighty app is capable of serving up.  i just need to level audio volume on multiple instances of mplayer with software mixing (my sound card is cheap).
    all my jackd configs are vanilla from the wiki as stated below.  if anyone has another solution or a request for information in regard to this solution please reply.  as always, thanks in advance
    --here is some err... background
    i have a some files that i would like to run with mplayer and a video file [with its own audio] that i would like to run concurrently.  it should be possible to use jackd to let one instance of mplayer show video with no sound while permitting the audio from the other instance to play at arbitrary volume.  without jack, i cannot control sound independantly since both instances seem to use the same device (PCM0).  furthermore i have found that starting multiple instances of mplayer leads to weird artifacts which persist after all running instances of mplayer concurrent with artifact appearance have been closed. 
    so i installed jack-audio-connection-kit following the wiki verbatim.  then i installed qjackctl.  starting jackd as root and qjackctl with sudo allowed me to see the first instance of mplayer but not the second.
    what is the difference between running mplayer through alsa and running mplayer through jack through alsa (not sure if the objects are accurately laid out there but whatever)?  the wiki basically provides an out of the box solution for software mixing a bunch of inputs (i have friends who do sound professionally though not with linux and im envisioning way more complicated stuff than my humble pair of mplayers

    If you run one file with '-ao null' and the other one with '-vo null' you can manipulate them independently, there's no sound mixing involved, it just allows you "to add visuals to an audio feed spontaneously". They can both be run with 'af scaletempo' to speed up / slow down etc.
    Hmm, wonder if that's what the OP was looking for?

  • Multiple instances of Crystal Reports Viewer possible in WPF?

    Hi, I've dragged and dropped three Crystal Reports Viewer controls on my WPF application. The goal is to be able to select up to 3 reports from a listbox and click run to generate the reports simultaneously. When I select just one report, it works fine. However when I select multiple reports it throws errors (object not found, etc). It seems there is a problem with multiple threads. Is it possible to have multiple instances of the Crystal Report Viewer display reports simultaneously? I am using version 13.0.9.1312 from the link below along with VS2013 C# WPF.
    SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
    Thanks,
    Syed

    I was able to quickly cobble together a two viewer app that looks like this:
    The code is like this:
    Public Sub New()
            ' This call is required by the designer.
            InitializeComponent()
            ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
            Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            crReportDocument.Load("C:\tests\formulas.rpt")
            CrystalReportsViewer1.ViewerCore.ReportSource = crReportDocument
            Dim crReportDocument2 As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            crReportDocument2.Load("C:\tests\report1.rpt")
            CrystalReportsViewer2.ViewerCore.ReportSource = crReportDocument2
        End Sub
    For more details see the document WPF Project Using the Crystal Reports WPF Viewer in 8 Easy Steps
    Now a couple of things to keep in mind;
    1) The report engine is based on 3 Concurrent Processor License (CPL) model. Meaning you can process at most three reports at the same time. In my test, doing the above code for four reports worked, but the reports are very, very simple - and with saved data. What a "real" world reports will do, I am not sure. I do know that in a web app, the reports are queued up until one report is done and thus a CPL is freed up. You will also need to keep in mind any database connection limits, etc.
    2) There is also a Print Job limit. This by default is set to 75. In a nutshell, almost anything done with a report is a Print Job. E.g.; paging, zooming, drilling, searching, etc., etc. In addition subreports are considered to be Print Jobs. Thus a report with one subreport in a detail section that returns a thousand rows of data and therefore running 1000 subreports will error out.
    You can read more about Print Job limits here:

    Which seems to be the problem here? Why can't i connect to the 11g instance using sqlplus?. I don't think it is related to enviroment since access can be done using local naming service.

    PD: i did not replace scripts on /usr/local/bin when installing 11g.

    Both databases are running including :
    - listener 1521 for 10g and 1525 for 11g-
    An unnecessary complication that achieves nothing. A single listener, using the default name LISTENER and the default port 1521 is quite capable of -- WAS DESIGNED TO -- service multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. In a multi-version environment, you'll want to use the listener from the highest version.

    What was the setting of ORACLE_SID when you did this?

    Which seems to be the problem here? Why can't i connect to the 11g instance using sqlplus?. I don't think it is related to enviroment since access can be done using local naming service.Regardless of what you think, It is absolutely, 100% related to your environment settings.
    >
    Please help ...!repeat your above demo, but with this modification
    id
    cat /etc/oratab
    env |grep ORA | sort
    echo $PATH
    sqlplus / as sysdbaIn a multi-db environment, you need to always set your environment before trying to work with any database. The easiest way is to use the oracle utility 'oraenv'
    oracle:orcl$ . oraenv
    ORACLE_SID = [orcl] ? dwsbx
    The Oracle base for ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 is /u01/app/oracle
    oracle:dwsbx$ echo $ORACLE_SID
    dwsbx
    oracle:dwsbx$Notice the command is 'dot space oraenv'

    PD: i did not replace scripts on /usr/local/bin when installing 11g.

  • CF8, Multiple instances, archiving

    I have a CF7 server installed as a stand alone installation.
    I have installed CF8 on the same box with the built-in web server,
    and multiserver. My developers want the multiple instances so they
    can use Subversion, versioning software.
    I am trying to understand how I can setup instances and only
    have to change one setting so that all instances change without
    having to manually make the change on each instance.
    I have archived all of the settings in a J2EE EAR. I setup my
    first instance and used that EAR. The only files it put in that
    server folder were the jrun files, no cfusion-ear. When I tried to
    open the instance website or run the CFAdmin from within the
    instance it fails. When I install it without using the EAR then the
    install puts the cfusion-ear in the server folder and the website
    works and the cfadmin works.
    When I use the Web Server Configuration and connect the
    instance with and IIS website then all I get when I try to bring up
    the website or CFAdmin from within the Instance is the error that
    ACL's are failing.
    Who can I talk to that would answer my hundred's of questions
    regarding what I am doing with Instances?

    No problem now. I finally figured out how to make all of this
    work on 1 box. I have CF7 running along side of CF8. CF7 is using
    the external web server and CF8 is using multiserver with the
    built-in web server.
    I have CF7 running as it always has and CF8 running with 10
    instances, each with their own web site.
    My problem turned out to be the permissions on the jrun4
    folder. As soon as I replicated the ACL's on JRUN4 that I had on
    CFUSIONMX7 then everything worked.
    I think these permissions must be documented somewhere but I
    sure couldn't find them.

  • Can we have Multiple Instance on same Node in Oracle 10g RAC

    Hi All,
    I am planning to implement the RAC in Oracle 10g.Before that i have one doubt regarding RAC.
    My question is "Can we create multiple Instance on Same node(Server) ?"
    is it possible.
    Any ideas or thoughts would be apperciable.
    Thanks in Advance.

    This is where it is important to keep the separation between 'database' and 'instance'.
    A database is the set of files that contains the data (and the redo, control files, etc). A database does nothing by itself, other than take up lots of disk space.
    An instance is theCPU cycles (running software) and the memory to control the database.
    In Oracle RAC, you can have as many instances controlling one database [at the same time] as you want (within reason). Each instance must be able to access the disk(s) that contains the database.
    These multiple instances can be on the same computer (effectively taking up a lot of server memory and CPU for nothing) or they can be on separate computers.
    If they are on separate computers, the disk subsystems must be able to be shared across computers - this is occasionally done using operating system clusterware and is the main reason why clusterware is required at all. (This is also the toughest part of the pre-requisites in setting up a RAC and is very vendor dependent unless you use ASM.)
    These instances need a communication connection to coordinate their work (usually a separate network card for each computer) so they do not corrupt the disk when they are trying to access the same file, and possibly the same block, at the same time.
    In a RAC configuration, instances can be added, started, running, stopped and removed independent of each other (allowing a lot of high availability) or can be started and stopped as a group.
    Each instance gets it's own SID, which is in no way any different than a non-RAC SID. It's just the name of a service that can be invoked. The neat thing is that the SID
    a) helps the DBA keep things straight by lettiung us talk about 'instance A' (the Oracle software to be running over on computer A) vs 'instance B' when starting, stopping and managing;
    b) helps the application by providing targets that can be listed in the TNSNAMES.ORA [against one service alias], which is used by ORacle Networking to provide automated load balance or failover (instance/SID a is not available, I guess I'll try the next in the list)
    Hope that helps the concept level a bit.
