Connecting to a File Storage

Hello,
We will be using the File Storage as a storage, what are the ways to connect to it from UCM (we already have the 11G instance installed and configured).
Someone mentioned that:
'This can be configured later and I believe is by default. Just make sure you do not enable the FileStore Component in UCM'
What is the proper way to point to the File Storage (without using FileStore Component), for example if we have "directoryname"/ucmdocs?
Thanks!

Hi
With File Store Provider you have the following 2 options :
1. File system based storage .
2. DB based storage .
For 1 you will need to create a partition on UCM Administration - File Store Administration where in the location of the content storage will be defined . This can be a location outside the UCM default ones or shared location on SAN , NAS etc .
DB Storage means that the contents as whole will be stored in DB and all the queries will be run for retrieving the contents on the db side when searching from UCM.
So when these configurations are completed UCM knows where to look for the contents when user is searching for .
Thanks

POA Losing Connection with Remote File Storage for Libraries

(Netware 6.5 SP8)(Groupwise 8.0.2 HP2)
Shortly after we installed Service Pack 2 users started reporting blank documents opening from the libraries. Couldn't see any errors occurring on logs or any server issues.
Running 4 separate libraries, largest has around 100,000 active documents.
Problem was fixed by restarting POA. Happens randomly everyday or every second day.
Have made no system changes or setting changes that might affect it. Have just applied HP2 hoping this would fix the issue, but to no avail.
Is anyone experiencing anything similar, any help appreciated.

Check if the indexing is running well. Check the nightly logs.

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network? Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.

Ok.. gottcha
The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
Factory reset universal
Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
SMB://10.0.1.2
Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

A way to qeury Azure File Storage direct from Automation?

Hello.
I am trying to create a runbook that will query a list of files in Azure File Storage. This works fine from a powershell prompt on an Azure VM, but it appears the same methods in Azure Automation return different objects:
Sample code to just list the files in a given folder:
workflow Get-AzureFileStorageInfo
# Get Azure File Storage Name and Key
$storageName = Get-AutomationVariable -Name 'File Storage Name'
$storageKey = Get-AutomationVariable -Name 'File Storage Key'
# Get subscription and certificate information
$subscriptionName = Get-AutomationVariable -Name "Subscription Name"
$connection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name "Azure Connection"
$certificate = Get-AutomationCertificate -Name $connection.AutomationCertificateName
# Set the current subscription
Set-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName $subscriptionName -SubscriptionId $connection.SubscriptionID -Certificate $certificate
Select-AzureSubscription -Current $subscriptionName
# get azure file storage context and share object
#$ctx = New-AzureStorageContext $StorageName $StorageKey
$s = Get-AzureStorageShare -Name $StorageName
# get list of files from Azure File Storage
Write-Output "Files in the DEMO folder..."
$DemoFiles = Get-AzureStorageFile -Share $s -Path "DEMO"
Write-Output $DemoFiles
I get this error when I run it:
6/02/2015 4:54:34 PM, Error: Get-AzureStorageShare : Cannot bind parameter 'Context'. Cannot convert the
"Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Common.Storage.AzureStorageContext" value of type
"Deserialized.Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Common.Storage.AzureStorageContext" to type
"Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Common.Storage.AzureStorageContext".
At Get-AzureFileStorageInfo:25 char:25
+
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-AzureStorageShare], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :
CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.Storage.File.Cmdlet.GetAzureStorageShare
I am obviously calling it wrong from Azure Automation. Is there sample code online somewhere that can demo the right way to call it? Thanks!
Matt

Perfect. That worked! Thanks!
For others who might be following this I made the change as shown below:
workflow Get-AzureFileStorageInfo
# Get Azure File Storage Name and Key
$storageName = Get-AutomationVariable -Name 'File Storage Name'
$storageKey = Get-AutomationVariable -Name 'File Storage Key'
# Get subscription and certificate information
$subscriptionName = Get-AutomationVariable -Name "Subscription Name"
$connection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name "Azure Connection"
$certificate = Get-AutomationCertificate -Name $connection.AutomationCertificateName
# Set the current subscription
Set-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName $subscriptionName -SubscriptionId $connection.SubscriptionID -Certificate $certificate
Select-AzureSubscription -Current $subscriptionName
InlineScript {
# get azure file storage context and share object
$ctx = New-AzureStorageContext $Using:StorageName $Using:StorageKey
$s = Get-AzureStorageShare -Context $ctx
# get list of files from Azure
Write-Output "Files in the DEMO folder..."
$DemoFiles = Get-AzureStorageFile -Share $s -Path "DEMO"
Write-Output $DemoFiles

How to connect to Azure Files (preview) share?

I enabled Azure Files preview.
I follow this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/12/introducing-microsoft-azure-file-service.aspx
I created new storage account called loremipsum. Using powershell, I created new storage share called loremipsum-01. Called
New-AzureStorageDirectory command to test create directory. It succeeded.
I went to command prompt and called this command:
net use z: \\loremipsum.file.core.windows.net\loremipsum-01 /u:loremipsum blablablablablablamyaccesskey==
Result:
System error 64.
Network name is undefined.
How should I connect to this share, so I can use it as mapped folder in explorer?

Cannot refresh table - test connection works fine but refresh gives "We couldn't refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server." error.

I'm having some difficulty updating a table in my powerpivot data model. The data for the table is stored in a local excel file; if I go to
Existing Connections select the connection and do a test then everything is successful. When however I try to refresh that particular table I get the following error:
"We couldn’t refresh the connection. Please go to existing connections and verify they connect to the file or server."
In the past I had this and it was an authentication issue, the files are stored on SharePoint and I wasn't logged in to Sharepoint - I have however checked this and it can't be the issue because I have other tables linked to other excel files in the same
location that are refreshing without issue. Can anyone think of what may be causing it?
I have even tried creating a new local excel with the same data, added it to the data model and then tried a refresh and I I get exactly the same issue.
Are there any known issues with refreshing data from an Excel file if, after the initial import, you add columns to the table in the excel file I was wondering if this might contribute?
Thanks

Hi Maracles,
Thanks for your post.
From your description, I tried to reproduce this issue on my test environment. However, everything is fine for me. Could you please post the specific version of SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel?
You can try to use a trace file to troubleshoot errors in PowerPivot. If this issue still persists, please try to reinstall SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel to see if this helps.

How do I get rid of files that only show up on my iPod, but not on my computer when connected? These files appeared after I reconnected my iPod to my computer, and appear to be music files linked to a website.

I purchased an album on itunes and everything was fine. Then when I reconnected my ipod and it did some autosync (which I have it set up to do manual sync) it added every single song a second time, but apparently they are some sort of internet file, that will only play when I have internet connection. These files won't show up through my computer at all and I can't figure out a way to delete them directly from my ipod either. It's incredibly annoying as when I try to listen the album it plays through two songs, then automatically quits playing when it gets to these phantom files...

This is not an itunes question at all.
Try posting in a more appropriate forum.

Can I use one 2tb external hard drive for time capsule and file storage?

I would like to use time capsule, but also keep the hard drive on my desktop for file storage. Can I do this?

Apple advises against doing that.
Any data stored on the disk that Time Machine is backing up to can not be backed up.
Plus the data outside of the Time Machine backup database cause problems when Time Machine starts cleaned up old backups to recover space for new backups.
For these reason it is advised that the Time Capsule disk be used for one or the other but not both.

.tdm file storage vi's slow editing vi's

I am developing software using Labview 8.5 and have recently added some file storage vi's for the .tdm format for use in DIAdem 10.2. Upon using the open storage, set file properties, write channel group, write channel, and close storage vi's, the editing has become extremely slow - for any operation I try to perform there is a 10-15seconds delay before it occurs. If I remove the .tdm vi's from my diagram then the editing goes back to normal and changes/operations occur almost instantaneously as expected. My project is not large as far as I am concerned (Front panel - 121k, block diagram=1538k, code=0.2k, data=957k, total=2617k, total vi size on disk=389k)
I saw a similar post to the .tdm storage vi's causing this to occur back in 2005 and was supposed to have been on the fix list but it does not appear that it has 3 years later. I am sure many others are using these vi's so not sure what I may have done differently to cause the editing to slow down so much.
Anyone with ideas and fix would be greatly appreciated as I cannot afford to sit around 10-15 seconds for every step of my developement.

Yes, sometimes Storage VIs are slow. But They are Express VIs, supplying the easy configuration for users. If you feel they are too slow, I suggest that you can use TDMS files instead.

Windows user can no longer connect to my File Sharing IP address

Hello,
Since updating to OS X 10.4.9, Windows users can no longer connect to my file sharing IP address.
I have had no problems when I was using 10.4.8, and I have re-checked both the Windows computer and my Mac to make sure that the file sharing connection should be possible.
I think this may be some sort of firewall / security issue (?) in that the 10.4.9 update has downloaded something which now "hides" my Mac at this IP address. I am unsure how to resolve this problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Much obliged, in advance.

Can the Mac connect to the PC?
Have you checked the Workgroup is the same on the Mac
in Directory Access>CIS/SMB?
Have you tried turning off the Firewall for a test?
Has the IP changed?
Hello!
Thank you for the suggestive questions above. I haven't "tested" any of them because I simply became exasperated with the "change" in 10.4.9 and went back to system 10.4.8
Of course, now everything is right with the world and I can once again have my Windows computer connect to my Mac.
Thank you for taking the time in trying to help me -- much obliged.

In Aperture 3.4.1, I am not able to connect with referenced files on a network

Specifically, the referenced files reside on my iMac and I am attempting to connect to them from my MBP. They appear in red in the dialogue box. While I know this has been a long standing issue in other versions, I was hoping it had been solved by now. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Azure File Storage - Creating a directory at the root level using REST

I have a Xamarin / iOS project, and looking to use Azure File Share as a back-end.
With that in mind, I'm playing around with the REST API and have generally got things working with (a) Blobs and (b) Account-level access to Files.
Specifically, I can successfully request a list of File Shares, so I have the general call structure worked out.
However, I'm stumped about the exact incantation necessary to create a new directory at the root level of a share.
I've tried the following three variants, but all result in Forbidden - Server failed to authenticate the request
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare/subdirname1
request.Query: ?restype=directory
string to sign: PUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:07:25 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare/subdirname1\nrestype:directory
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare/subdirname1/
request.Query: ?restype=directory
string to sign: PUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:07:58 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare/subdirname1/\nrestype:directory
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare//subdirname1
request.Query: ?restype=directory
string to sign: PUT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:06:16 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare//subdirname1\nrestype:directory
I did note that trying to get the contents of an (empty) root directory doesn't behave quite the way I'd expect
request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
request.AbsolutePath: /myshare/
request.Query: ?resttype=directory&comp=list
string to sign: GET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:23:17 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare/\ncomp:list\nrestype:directory
Authenticates OK, but generates FAILURE BadRequest - The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.
Which is different behaviour from pulling the list of blobs from an empty container (returns 200 with an empty xml list of blobs.
I've been through the File Service REST API document (dn167006) and found the azurestoragesamples on codeplex, but the former is unclear on working with the root level and the latter is from 2011 and predates File Storage.
Any insights?

First, thank you for the quick response and the suggestion about looking at the response content for the string to sign being used. I wasn't aware of that and obviously it's a fantastic resource for figuring this kind of stuff out.
And what it immediately revealed is it wasn't some subtle oddity in my construction of the STS, it was that I was doing a client.GetAsync(...) and not a client.PutAsync(...). DOH!
With that sorted, it was trivial to fix.
In terms of the List Directories and Files, though, there's still a problem.
FAILURE BadRequest - The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.
   request.Host: myaccount.file.core.windows.net
   request.AbsolutePath: /myshare
   request.Query: ?resttype=directory&comp=list
   urlQuery: myshare?resttype=directory&comp=list
   string to sign: GET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nx-ms-date:Sun, 30 Nov 2014 18:40:04 GMT\nx-ms-version:2014-02-14\n/myaccount/myshare\ncomp:list\nresttype:directory
The response XML is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Error>
   <Code>InvalidUri</Code>
   <Message>The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.\nRequestId:33d61aed-001a-0020-0cbd-51aea8000000\nTime:2014-11-30T18:40:04.9712797Z</Message>
   <UriPath>/myshare</UriPath>
</Error>
I originally thought it might be because the share was empty. However, I'm targeting the same share in which I created (apparently successfully) the subdirectory.
So I'm still confuzzled on that.

CCM 2.0 - Files Storage for high volume of files

Hi all,
I have seen in one message the following information:
<i>1. Files storage.
My point is that I think you've created a virtual folder on the SRM Server in SICF, which means that all your files are stored internally in the database, and not physically on the server.
The most simple way is to create a physical folder on the server OS, and then create analias in SICF to this folder. You then will be abble to load in mass the pictures on the server using FTP, or network Share.</i>
I want to upload images in the Catalog (CCM 2.0) and in my case I have high volume of files. Where is the best place to stored this data, in the database or in the server?
And if it is in the server, how I can create an alias?
Many thanks!!
Regards

Hi ,
What we had done for image upload for CCM 2.0 was like this:
1. in SE80 go to MIME repository -> drill down to services -> bc /sap/bsp - >Create a personal folder
2. Import your image .jpeg in this folder.
3. Derive an URL with the structue : server name/domain name/services/file name
4. test this URL in IE browser ,it should open the picture in IE for you.
5. then paste this URL in the characteristic 'image' of an item in master catalog in CAT
with this in EBP we could see the photos of the items.

Mac not able to connect to SMB File Server

I'm having an issue with a Mac trying to connect to our file server. It was working before our company move but once we moved into our new building it stopped working. Our network settings stayed exactly the same except our router and firewall. It seems to me like it's a DNS issue because I am able to ping the server with the IP but when using the hostname is where it fails and also trys to ping an incorrect address. Our network is 192.168.X.X and it's trying to ping 69.60.X.X which seems like a outside address. I am able to ping the DNS server and seems to connect to computers with in the network but just not our File Server.

You will need to delete the keyboard from the other Mac. Simply disconnecting it leaves it still paired with the first Mac.
