Connectivity Requirements for BI-A

Hi,
Does anyone have any information on what the network connectivity requirements are to connect the BI-A appliance to the BW instance please?

Gigabit Ethernet, (if that's what you would like to know).

IME connection requirements for ASA-SSM module

I am looking into monitoring an IPS device at a remote site over the internet. I would like to install IME at my main site and have IME connect to the SSM module at the remote site over the internet. Can anyone offer advice on the TCP ports required (is it simply tcp 443) and if this is advisable? Any ideas on how much traffic this would generate over the internet connection?
My thoughts are that I could create a static translation on the ASA for the IP address of the management interface of the SSM module and restrict access through the ASA to my main site public IP address.
Any assistance is much appreciated.

Hi,
All you need is to open up TCP/443 for the IME to be able to successfully connect. So, you can have a static for the SSMs management IP address on TCP port 443 and put in an access-list entry to allow that traffic.
I am not really sure of how much traffic this will take up but it should not be much.
Hope this helps. let me know how it goes!!
Thanks and Regards,

FRM-10060: Database connection required for retrieveing referenced objects

Hi,
When I open a form, I get this error. This form is referencing a form stored in the database for some item properties. How do I get find out which item is being referenced from the database?. This is quite a big form with lots of blocks & canvases.
Thanks

after pressing OK connect to the database.
I think, Check for the pre-form trigger code.
The objects used in the pre-form trigger might be referenced by the database.

DB connect no data found is rfc connection required

Hi Gurus,
I want to retrieve data from oracle database, i have all the table with data in it, but through the source system i.e db connect it does not display any contents of the table, it says no data found, the installation was all done perfecttly fine, i can read the table fields but i am not able to read the data from the table. what could be the problem.
Is an RFC connection required for this db connect to retrieve the data from oracle. or else what is the issue. Can anyone please help me out on this, I already posted long back on this still no reply on it. From the osss notes it allgives information about the intallation but it there is no data found then it does not give any information onthis. Can anyone please help me out on this.
Thanks,
Hem

Hi Hem,
You want to retrieve data from Oracle Database using BW and you are having a problem?
Try isolation technique to solve your problem.
Try to use third party softwares e.g. MS Excel. Retrieve data from Oracle using MSExcel. If MSExcel can retrieve data then you can conclude:
a.) The network connection to Oracle is fine.
b.) Oracle is up and running and is able to serve data from your specified table.
RFC Connection is not required. RFC is only useful for SAP to SAP communication. This connection uses a different technique and uses a different driver to communicate. SAP provided DB Connect Engine. A similar approach as what Microsoft's OLEDB is doing. This to make a transparent connection between various database systems. (whether MSSQL, Oracle, MSACCESS, SYBASE etc.)
As part of isolation technique, are you sure you are accessing the correct table? Try to access other tables. If you can access data of different tables then something is wrong with the table you want to access.
Have you check authorization issues? Are you allowed to extract data?
Hope I have helped. If I did, please grant points...

Requirements for Creative Suite 4

We have a Apple iMac G4/1.0, w/ OS X upgrade & an added 1GB RAM. Do you think we have the minimum requirements for Creative Suite 4?

Hello Sgtgold30 and welcome to discussions,
" Do you think we have the minimum requirements for Creative Suite 4? "
I doubt that buying, installing and using this software is going to be a pleasing experience on that particular Mac. The following " specs " are pasted from the Adobe website...
Mac OS
PowerPC® G5 or multicore Intel® processor
Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4
Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue® Server
1GB of RAM or more recommended
10.3GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional hard-disk space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on flash-based storage devices)
1,024x768 display (1,280x800 recommended) with 16-bit video card
Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0
DVD-ROM drive
QuickTime 7.4.5 software required for multimedia features
Broadband Internet connection required for online services
It might just work. It might take hours and hours to work though.
Regards.

HT4106 I have a camera connection kit for my ipad 2. Can this kit be used with my new ipad air?... If so what adapter is required please

Camera connection kit for ipad 2. Can this kit be used with ipad air and if so what adapter(s) are required please

You can try the 30 pin to lightning adapter but I'm not sure if that'll work. So if you get it to experiment, make sure you can return it. Apple does sell a SD to lightning adapter for the newer devices. So that should be a sure bet. The main downside is that your 30 pin camera kit came with both USB and SD for 29 and now the USB adapter is 19 and the SD adapter 29, so more expensive.
You may want to look into third party adapters, but make sure you use a reputable manufacturer (ie not a cheap no-name off amazon) because iOS7 brought with it software that looks for a signed chip in the adapter. And a chip is 'signed' when a company gets apple's permission to make accessories. I would suggest sticking with companies like Belkin, Kensington and Targus. They seem to be of a better reputation when making things and would have a signed chip.

Program ID Required for RFC Connection

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a RFC Connection betwen SAP BI and SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services). In SM59 screen i'm unable to get the appropriate Program ID required for the connection. Could someone please help me in knowing how to get it.

Yogesh,
While creating TCP\IP type RFC destination, when you select Radio button "Registered server program", there you have to provide Program Id there. So for your information:
Program Id is a string which can be anything even your name.
i know only R3 and XI integration and in that case you will make your RFC communication channel active first with a program Id(ant thing) and with logon credentials of other system + gateway host and service.
then use that program id in RFC destination and test it.
If get empty request then RFC destination is ok.

Alok

Requirements for participants - must they have Acrobat Connect Pro for meetings?

I am soon participating in a "eLearning" program and we have been told that the meetings are within "Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Meeting".
It is not clearly stated anywhere if I need to subscribe and have this program installed myself or if it is actually only the host that needs the program.
Is having Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Meeting installed/subscribed a requirement for the participants?
Thanks for any help - hope Adobe will state this much clearer on their webpages in the future.

All the techical requirements for joining a meeting are listed here: Adobe Connect system requirements, web conferencing, Mac | Adobe Connect
Basically you need to have Flash Player 11.2 or newer.

Unity Connections 8.6.x - Independent-persistent disk requirement for VM?

Does anyone know why Unity Connections has a requirement for it's vDisks to be set to independant-persistant mode? I don't see this requirement for any other UC application and would prefer to not set it in this mode as it prevents us for taking a snapshot when the machine is shutdown. I know that snapshots are not officially supported, but it is a great back-out plan in the case of doing maintenance off hours and deleting the snapshot before using the VM in production.
Expanation of Independent Disks:
Independent Disks are not affected by snapshots.
Persistent - Changes are immediately and permanently written to the disk.
Where I found the Cisco requirements:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/requirements/8xcucsysreqs.html
"All virtual disks assigned to the Connection virtual machine must be configured in independent-persistent mode, which provides the best storage performance."

Yea I also noticed that the OVA did not apply this setting. I have turned this on manually as this document states it is a requirement. Just wondering if this requirement has been droped at some point since that secton of the document was last modified June 9th 2011. I can't seem to find the requirement anywhere else beside this document and it is not stated anywhere that it was dropped.

Connection pool for ldap

Hi
My application is an interface to ldap directory. I have not used any ldap open source api to retrieve data from ldap. I have written connection pool that will help the application to connect to the ldap. It's working fine, but it's creating threads which are not invited.
ConnectionPool class takes care of the connection storage and creation, while Housekeeping thread relases these connection when idle after a given time.
Can someone please help in finding the problem in the code that creates additional threads.

Hi,
As the connection pool implmentation has the bug of not extending more than the min size, workaround I use is MIN_CONN=100 and MAX_CONN=101,and just waiting for the bug to get fixed. (using Netscape SDK for java4.0)

List of Manual Setup required for iSetup to work

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan from iSetup development. Based on my interaction with customers and Oracle functional experts, I had documented list of manual setups that are required for smooth loading of selection sets. I am sharing the same. Please let me know if I anyone had to enter some manual setup while using iSetup.
Understanding iSetup
iSetup is a tool to migrate and report on your configuration data. Various engineering teams from Oracle develop the APIs/Programs, which migrates the data across EBS instances. Hence all your data is validated for all business cases and data consistency is guarantied. It requires good amount of setup functional knowledge and bit of technical knowledge to use this tool.
Prerequisite setup for Instance Mapping to work
· ATG patch set level should be same across all EBS instances.
· Copy DBC files of each other EBS instances participating in migration under $FND_SECURE directory (refer note below for details).
· Edit sqlnet.ora to allow connection between DB instacnes(tcp.invited_nodes=(<source>,<central>))
· Make sure that same user name with iSetup responsibility exists in all EBS instances participating in migration.
Note:- iSetup tool is capable of connecting to multiple EBS instances. To do so, it uses dbc file information available under $FND_SECURE directory. Let us consider three instances A, B & C, where A is central instance, B is source instance and C is target instances. After copying the dbc file on all nodes, $FND_SECURE directory would look like this on each machine.
A => A.dbc, B.dbc, C.dbc
B => A.dbc, B.dbc
C => A.dbc, C.dbc
Prerequisite for registering Interface and creating Custom Selection Set
iSetup super role is mandatory to register and create custom selection set. It is not sufficient if you register API on central/source instance alone. You must register the API on all instances participating in migration/reporting.
Understanding how to access/share extracts across instances
Sharing iSetup artifacts
· Only the exact same user can access extracts, transforms, or reports across different instances.
· The “Download” capability offers a way to share extracts, transforms, and loads.
Implications for Extract/Load Management
· Option 1: Same owner across all instances
· Option 2: Same owner in Dev, Test, UAT, etc – but not Production
o Extract/Load operations in non-Production instances
o Once thoroughly tested and ready to load into Production, download to desktop and upload into Production
· Option 3: Download and upload into each instance
Security Considerations
· iSetup does not use SSH to connect between instances. It uses Concurrent Manager framework to lunch concurrent programs on source and target instances.
· iSetup does not write password to any files or tables.
· It uses JDBC connectivity obtained through standard AOL security layer
Common Incorrect Setups
· Failure to complete/verify all of the steps in “Mapping instances”
· DBC file should be copied again if EBS instance has been refreshed or autoconfig is run.
· Custom interfaces should be registered in all EBS instances. Registering it on Central/Source is not sufficient.
· Standard Concurrent Manager should up for picking up iSetup concurrent requests.
· iSetup financial and SCM modules are supported from 12.0.4 onwards.
· iSetup is not certified on RAC. However, you may still work with iSetup if you could copy the DBC file on all nodes with the same name as it had been registered through Instance Mapping screen.
Installed Languages
iSetup has limitations where it cannot Load or Report if the number and type of installed languages and DB Charset are different between Central, Source and Target instances. If your case is so, there is a workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Edit AZ_Prevalidator_1.xml to match your target instance language and DB Charset. Zip it back and upload to iSetup repository. Now, you would be able to load to target instance. You must ensure that this would not corrupt data in DB. This is considered as customization and any data issue coming out this modification is not supported.
Custom Applications
Application data is the prerequisite for the most of the Application Object Library setups such as Menus, Responsibility, and Concurrent programs. iSetup does not migrate Custom Applications as of now. So, if you have created any custom application on source instance, please manually create them on the target instance before moving Application Object Library (AOL) data.
General Foundation Selection Set
Setup objects in General foundation selection set supports filtering i.e. ability to extract specific setups. Since most of the AOL setup data such as Menus, Responsibilities and Request Groups are shipped by Oracle itself, it does not make sense to migrate all of them to target instance since they would be available on target instance. Hence, it is strongly recommended to extract only those setup objects, which are edited/added, by you to target instance. This improves the performance. iSetup uses FNDLOAD (seed data loader) to migrate most of the AOL Setups. The default behavior of FNDLOAD is given below.
Case 1 – Shipped by Oracle (Seed Data)
FNDLOAD checks last_update_date and last_updated_by columns to update a record. If it is shipped by Oracle, the default owner of the record would be Oracle and it would skip these records, which are identical. So, it won’t change last_update_by or last_updated_date columns.
Case 2 – Shipped by Oracle and customized by you
If a record were customized in source instance, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
Case 3 – Created and maintained by customers
If a record were newly added/edited in source instance by you, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date of the record in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
Profiles
HR: Business Group => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
HR: Security Profile => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
MO: Operating Unit => Set the Operating Unit name for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Operating Unit onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set if required.
Navigation path to do the above setup:
System Administrator -> Profile -> System.
Query for the above profiles and set the values accordingly.
Descriptive & Key Flex Fields
You must compile and freeze the flex field values before extracting using iSetup.
Otherwise, it would result in partial migration of data. Please verify that all the data been extracted by reporting on your extract before loading to ensure data consistency.
You can load the KFF/DFF data to target instance even the structures in both source as well as target instances are different only in the below cases.
Case 1:
Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
Target=> Loc1, Loc2, Loc3 (Mandate), Loc4, Loc5 and Loc6
If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, Loc4, then locations will be loaded to target instance without any issue. If you do not provide value for Loc3, then API will fail, as Loc3 is a mandatory field.
Case 2:
Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
Target=> Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2
If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3 and Loc4 and load data to target instance, API will fail as Loc3 and Loc4 are not there in target instance.
It is always recommended that KFF/DFF structure should be same for both source as well as target instances.
Concurrent Programs and Request Groups
Concurrent program API migrates the program definition(Definition + Parameters + Executable) only. It does not migrate physical executable files under APPL_TOP. Please use custom solution to migrate executable files. Load Concurrent Programs prior to loading Request Groups. Otherwise, associated concurrent program meta-data will not be moved even through the Request Group extract contains associated Concurrent Program definition.
Locations - Geographies
If you have any custom Geographies, iSetup does not have any API to migrate this setup. Enter them manually before loading Locations API.
Currencies Types
iSetup does not have API to migrate Currency types. Enter them manually on target instance after loading Currency API.
GL Fiscal Super user--> setup--> Currencies --> rates -- > types
Associating an Employee details to an User
The extract process does not capture employee details associated with users. So, after loading the employee data successfully on the target instance, you have to configure them again on target instance.
Accounting Setup
Make sure that all Accounting Setups that you wish to migrate are in status “Complete”. In progress or not-completed Accounting Setups would not be migrated successfully.
Note: Currently iSetup does not migrate Sub-Ledger Accounting methods (SLA). Oracle supports some default SLA methods such as Standard Accrual and Standard Cash. You may make use of these two. If you want to use your own SLA method then you need to manually create it on target instances because iSetup does not have API to migrate SLA. If a Primary Ledger associated with Secondary Ledgers using different Chart of Accounts, then mapping rules should be defined in the target instance manually. Mapping rule name should match with XML tag “SlCoaMappingName”. After that you would be able to load Accounting Setup to target instance.
Organization API - Product Foundation Selection Set
All Organizations which are defined in HR module will be extracted by this API. This API will not extract Inventory Organization, Business Group. To migrate Inventory Organization, you have to use Inventory Organization API under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. To extract Business Group, you should use Business Group API.
Inventory Organization API - Discrete Mfg & Distribution Selection Set
Inventory Organization API will extract Inventory Organization information only. You should use Inventory Parameters API to move parameters such as Accounting Information. Inventory Organization API Supports Update which means that you can update existing header level attributes of Inventory Organization on the target instance. Inventory Parameters API does not support update. To update Inventory Parameters, use Inventory Parameters Update API.
We have a known issue where Inventory Organization API migrates non process enabled organization only. If your inventory organization is process enabled, then you can migrate them by a simple workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Navigate to Organization XML and edit the XML tag <ProcessEnabledFlag>Y</ProcessEnabledFlag> to <ProcessEnabledFlag>N</ProcessEnabledFlag>. Zip it back the extract and upload to target instance. You can load the extract now. After successful completion of load, you can manually enable the flag through Form UI. We are working on this issue and update you once patch is released to metalink.
Freight Carriers API - Product Foundation Selection Set
Freight Carriers API in Product Foundation selection set requires Inventory Organization and Organization Parameters as prerequisite setup. These two APIs are available under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. Also,Freight Carriers API is available under Discrete Mfg and Distribution Selection Set with name Carriers, Methods, Carrier-ModeServ,Carrier-Org. So, use Discrete Mfg selection set to load Freight Carriers. In next rollup release Freight Carriers API would be removed from Product Foundation Selection Set.
Organization Structure Selection Set
It is highly recommended to set filter and extract and load data related to one Business Group at a time. For example, setup objects such as Locations, Legal Entities,Operating Units,Organizations and Organization Structure Versions support filter by Business Group. So, set the filter for a specific Business Group and then extract and load the data to target instance.

Appendix_
How to read logs
· Logs are very important to diagnose and troubleshoot iSetup issues. Logs contain both functional and technical errors.
· To find the log, navigate to View Detail screens of Extracts/ Transforms/Loads/Standard/Comparison Reports and click on View Log button to view the log.
· Generic Loader (FNDLOAD or Seed data loader) logs are not printed as a part of main log. To view actual log, you have to take the request_id specified in the concurrent log and search for the same in Forms Request Search Window in the instance where the request was launched.
· Functional errors are mainly due to
o Missing prerequisite data – You did not load one more perquisite API before loading the current API. Example, trying to load “Accounting Setup” without loading “Chart of Accounts” would result in this kind of error.
o Business validation failure – Setup is incorrect as per business rule. Example, Start data cannot be greater than end date.
o API does not support Update Records – If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If the API does not support update, then you would get this kind of errors.
o You unselected Update Records while launching load - If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If you do not select Update Records, then you would get this kind of errors.
Example – business validation failure
o VONAME = Branches PLSQL; KEY = BANKNAME = 'AIBC‘
o BRANCHNAME = 'AIBC'
o EXCEPTION = Please provide a unique combination of bank number, bank branch number, and country combination. The 020, 26042, KA combination already exists.
Example – business validation failure
o Tokens: VONAME = Banks PLSQL
o BANKNAME = 'OLD_ROYAL BANK OF MY INDIA'
o EXCEPTION = End date cannot be earlier than the start date
Example – missing prerequisite data.
o VONAME = Operating Unit; KEY = Name = 'CAN OU'
o Group Name = 'Setup Business Group'
o ; EXCEPTION = Message not found. Application: PER, Message Name: HR_ORG_SOB_NOT_FOUND (Set of books not found for ‘Setup Business Group’)
Example – technical or fwk error
o OAException: System Error: Procedure at Step 40
o Cause: The procedure has created an error at Step 40.
o Action: Contact your system administrator quoting the procedure and Step 40.
Example – technical or fwk error
o Number of installed languages on source and target does not match.

Lync 2013 certificate requirements for multiple SIP domains

Hi All,
I am engaged with a client in respect of a Lync 2013 implementation initially as a conferencing platform with a view to enabling EV functions (inc. PSTN conferencing) in the future. They initially need to support 30 SIP domains and eventually
around 100 SIP domains which is proving to be either not possible or severely cost prohibitive. Their current certificate provider, Thawte, can only support up to 25 SANs and have quoted them 5 figures. We tend to use GeoTrust as they are cheaper but they
appear to have a limit of 25 SANs. GoDaddy appear to support up to 100 SANs for a pretty reasonable cost. My questions are as follows:
Is there a way that I’m missing of reducing the number of SANs required on the Edge server?
Use aliases for access edge FQDNs - Supported by desktop client but not by other devices so not really workable
Don’t support XMPP federation therefore removing the need for domain name FQDNs for each SIP domain
Is there a way that I’m missing of reducing the number of SANs required on the Reverse Proxy server?
Friendly URL option 3 from this page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398287.aspx
Client auto-configuration:
i.
Don’t support mobile client auto-configuration in which case no lyncdiscover.sipdomain1.com DNS records or SANs would be required.
ii.
Support mobile client auto-configuration over HTTP only in which case CNAME records are required for each SIP domain (lyncdiscover.sipdomain1.com, etc. pointing to lyncdiscover.designateddomain.com) but no SANs are required.
iii.
Support mobile client auto-configuration over HTTPS in which case DNS records are required for each SIP domain and a SAN entry for each SIP domains is also required. This is because a DNS CNAME to another domain is not supported over
HTTPS.
If the answer to 1 and/or 2 is no, are there certificate providers that support over 100 SANs?
How do certificate requirements differ when using the Lync 2013 hosting pack? I would think that this issue is something that a hosting provider would need to overcome.
Would the Lync 2013 Hosting Pack work for this customer? The customer uses SPLA licensing so I think is eligible to use the hosting pack but not 100% sure it will work in their environment given that client connections are supposed
to all come through the Edge where their tenants will be internal and also given the requirement for an ACP for PSTN conferencing.
Many thanks,

Many thanks for the response.
I was already planning to use option 3 from the below page for simple URLs to cut down on SAN requirement.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398287.aspx
What are the security concerns for publishing autodiscover over port 80? I.e. Is this only used for the initial download of the discovery record and then HTTPS is used for authentication? This seems to be the case from the following note on the below page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh690030.aspx
Mobile device clients do not support multiple Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates from different domains. Therefore, CNAME redirection to different domains is not supported over HTTPS. For example, a DNS CNAME record for lyncdiscover.contoso.com that redirects
to an address of director.contoso.net is not supported over HTTPS.
In such a topology, a mobile device client needs to use HTTP for the first request, so that the CNAME redirection is resolved over HTTP. Subsequent requests then use HTTPS. To support this scenario, you need to configure your reverse proxy with a web publishing
rule for port 80 (HTTP).
For details, see "To create a web publishing rule for port 80" in Configuring the Reverse Proxy for Mobility. CNAME redirection to the same domain is supported over HTTPS. In this case, the destination domain's certificate covers the originating
domain.”
I don’t think SRV records for additional SIP domain access edge is a workable solution as this is not supported by some devices.
As per the below article:
http://blog.schertz.name/2012/07/lync-edge-server-best-practices/
“The recommended approach for external client Automatic Sign-In when supporting multiple SIP domains is to include a unique Access Edge FQDN for each domain name in the SAN field. This is no longer a requirement (it was in OCS) as it is possible to
create a DNS Service Locator Record (SRV) for each additional SIP domain yet have them all point back to the same original FQDN for the Access Edge service (e.g. sip.mslync.net).
This approach will trigger a security alert in Windows Lync clients which can be accepted by the user, but some other clients and devices are unable to connect when the Automatic Sign-In process returns a pair of SRV and Host (A) records which do not share
the same domain namespace. Thus it is still best practice to define a unique FQDN for each additional SIP domain and include that hostname in the external Edge certificate’s SAN field”.
===================
1. Basically the requirement is to initially provide Lync conferencing services (minus PSTN conferencing) to internal, external, federated and anonymous participants with a view to providing PSTN conferencing and therefore enterprise voice services later.
2. The customer currently supports close to 100 SMTP domains and wants to align their SIP domains with these existing domains. The structure of their business is such that “XXX IT Services” provide the IT infrastructure for a collection of companies who
fall under the XXX umbrella but are very much run as individual entities.
Question:
Would you agree that I’m going to need a SAN for every SIP domain’s access edge FQDN?
Thanks.

you have your driver jar in Tomcat\common\lib?
if so, check your classpath, it could be that.

Connection pool for big web application

hi,
i am developing an application which had more then 20 classes and each class use databases.
i made an connection bean and use it for database connectivity but as my code expand and my application run for longer time i start getting error of connection limit.
then i start using connection pool. in this i start using one connection for whole application.
now i want that my
1-whole application use that connection pool and i dont need to initialize it in different classes.
2- The main problem is that may at a time i have to connect database with different user and these connections should remain active.
my application will be used for enterprise level and remain active for months .
following is my connection pool
public class ConnectionPool implements Runnable
 private Log log=new Log();
 private String driver, url, username, password;
 private int maxConnections;
 private boolean waitIfBusy;
 private Vector availableConnections, busyConnections;
 private boolean connectionPending = false;
 public ConnectionPool(String driver, String url,String username, String password,int initialConnections, int maxConnections, boolean waitIfBusy)

 // 2) You reached maxConnections limit and waitIfBusy flag is false. Throw SQLException in such a case.
 // 3) You reached maxConnections limit and waitIfBusy flag is true. Then do the same thing as in second

 log.write(sqle.getMessage());
}i get this code from internet, in which it also mention that use following code
public class BookPool extends ConnectionPool {
private static BookPool pool = null;
private BookPool(...) {
super(...); // Call parent constructor
public static synchronized BookPool getInstance() {
if (pool == null) {
pool = new BookPool(...);
return(pool);
}if some one want to use it for whole application then use connection pool by BookPool,
now main point is i m not getting the BookPool class could some one explain it to me???
and second by using it can i connect to different users of DB at a time, if cant then how i can.
its good if some one explain it by little code.
thxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If this is a real, serious application and not just for practice, then why are you trying to write your own connection pool implementation?
You'd better use Jakarta's Commons Pool and Commons DBCP, which are widely used, well tested implementations of connection pools.
If this is a web application running in a J2EE container, you'd normally configure the connection pool in the container. The container will register the pool in JNDI and you'd look it up in JNDI from your application.
Here's some documentation on how to do that in Tomcat 5.5: JNDI Datasource HOW-TO

Printing requirements for Bi publisher report

Hi all
Can any one tell me the steps required for me to look at the setups on my server side so that i can print the reports using the bursting API.The problem is i am not able to debug the log file as there is no connection error or any other exception but still i am not able to see the documents printed.
this is part of my log file
POST /printers/u260 HTTP/1.1Host: u260:631
User-Agent: Oracle XML Publisher 5.6.3
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: application/ipp
<<<
IPP version: 10
operation id: 410
charset: utf-8
request id: 1
-- operation attrs --
[1]attributes-charset:utf-8
[1]attributes-natural-language:en-us
-- printer attrs --
-- job attrs --
From this i understood that there is no problem with the connection but some how it is not printing.
Any help will be appreciated as i am having tough time figuring out this.
Thanks

You need about 40 GB total. Also make sure that your /tmp and /var/tmp have about 2GB free in them, otherwise the installation will fail. (I can't remember the exact numbers, though.)
I agree, the system requirements do not exist anywere in any straightforward documentation. You need to read at least three different documents to piece together the requirements, and the results will still be incomplete.
