Constantly failing Server.App and open snoop

Hello everybody,
since Server.App has up until now never delivered the promised results (I did everything I possibly could find in thousands articels, discussions etc.), I wanted to share the output of the opensnoop command boiled down to the "-1" not only because this is an Error (error - according to manpage) it's the only docmented of how many error-codes?!
What you see below is the output of only a view seconds running the opensnoop-command. In my opinon (even though you see certain lines reoccurring) this is way to much output!
server:~ serveradmin$ sudo opensnoop -n servermgrd_devicemgr | grep "\-1"

Didn't Lion server store things within Server.app? I thought for example Profile Manager data was stored in there.
I largely skipped Lion, due to various issues.   OS X Server 3 stores most of its configuration and data files in /Library/Server (and a few other spots), and the contents of those areas are preserved — you're basically (and unintentionally) following the usual reinstallation sequence.
Get your system backups going, too.
To verify your local host name and local DNS are correct and no changes are required, launch Terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities and issue the harmless diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
That'll require an administrative password for the sudo, might display a one-time message for the sudo, some configuration data as available, and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are issues with the network or DNS configuration.

  • No permission to access the server app and Timemachine Backup failed

    Problem:
    Mac Mini Server late 2009 running OSX Server 10.6xx for years without any problem,
    upgrading to Mavericks Server in Dec. 2013, running perfectly for 6 month.
    No Hardware issues.
    Last week i inadvertently deleted some (or most?) accounts (user and others), using the gui of the server app (and too much wine for myself).
    After that i couldn’t login the app anymore, because it needs administrator rights (which were deleted).
    This all caused problems by accessing some of the running services (e.g. Calendar, Adressbook, Wiki, Mail)
    No matter - TimeMachine always did a fine backup job, i thought.
    I restarted the machine using „command - r“, selected Recovery from TM-Backup and so on.
    But after recovering and restarting the OS always hangs on reboot.
    Ok - now i can do a clean install etc.
    But has anyone any idea how to get back all the data of the services and the user accounts etc., using the corresponding parts of the Time Machine backup only? (Only local accounts, no network accounts/no open directory)

    After reading one similar post, I've solve the problem.
    It seems that I have to enable 'read and write' permission on

  • Synch problem - Server.app and Workgroup-Manager

    Hello everybody,
    I have been having troubles with this OS X Server from the very beginning - I even went through the hassle of a complete new installation - Server.app failed from the very begining.
    I found something new today. Take the Network-Accounts or Groups (it is an Open Directory Master)  and view them in Server.App and in Workgroup-Manager to compare entries. Every group in Workgroup-Manager is visible in Server.App as well - BUT - the members of a group (visible in WM) aren't showing up in the respective group if viewed at through Server.App?! What is going on here?

  • I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.

    I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.

    I previously downloaded a trial version of Adobe Pro and had used it the last 30 days. Today I just clicked on the link from my purchase confirmation and downloaded some type of installer. Once I clicked on the installer and gave it permission to do whatever it needed to do, it just sort of stalled. I am running Mac OS Yosemite. I thought Yosemitie might be part of the problem because it has given me occasional problems with Word and some other programs. 

  • Radius, Server App, and Airport Extreme (not visible)

    In the help system online it states "In the Server app sidebar, select your AirPort device. The AirPort device is listed in the Hardware section of the sidebar.  If you want users to log in to your wireless network with their user account credentials, select “Allow user name and password login over Wi-Fi".  Well, that is nice, but nothing I can do allows it to show up in the hardware section of the sidebar!  Now I have configured it through the "Server Admin" tool, but it is kind of frustrating that all of the documentation points to the Server App and right clicking on the Airport device...  Thoughts?  Is there something I missed on the Airport configuration to allow it to be seen by the Server App?

    Your Airport Device has to have the right configuration to show up in the server.app sidebar. Otherwhise server.app can´t manage the airport device.
    Here is an support page where you can find out how the configuration has to be, if you want to manage your airport device with server.app: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Server/10.7/en/t_ManageAirPort.html

  • Print the Server, App and Db in Excel

    Is there anyway to get essbase to place the server, application, and database name on an excel sheet? I would imagine something like a function in the vba commands would be perfect. I happen to have a great deal of data spread accross a variety of servers, applications, and databases (for a variety of reasons) and it would often be helpful to know exactly the source of a given report.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    It is definitely possible using the Essbase API, but unfortunately I don't think there is a way to extract this information using only the Essbase Excel VBA Toolkit. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong)For the API you will want to first use the VBA Toolkit function EssVGetHctxFromSheet to get the Essbase context handle. Next you will want to use EsbGetActive to return the Application and Database names. Finally you will want to use EsbGetApplicationInfo to return the Server name. Let me know if you have any further questions or have any problems using these functions,- Jay---------------------------Jay NishSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity SystemsEmail: [email protected]: www.claritysystems.com---Message Posted by trainoj   3/19/02 14:22---Is there anyway to get essbase to place the server, application, and database name on an excel sheet?

  • Is there a way to have separate permissions between Server app and Profile manager?

    I'm running OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite) with Server app 4.0 installed.
    I am a System Administrator for a University. I want to give our college techs the ability to manage Profile Manager, but if I grant them Admin rights on the Apple server they will also have access to the Server app, if they have the server app installed on their computer.
    Is there a way to limit access to the Server app, but allow certain individuals admin right to Profile Manager?

  • About DPS (mutifolio + Entitlement server) App and AppStore approuval

    Hi,
    We are building a Mutlifolio+Entitlement application to be distributed for free throught the Apple AppStore.
    When getting the app, customers without user/password won't be able to see any folios until they get appropriate credentials.
    In this case the folios are to be published as "retail" in order to be managed by the entitlement server (right?)
    Do I have to create inApp purchase in this application even if the folios to be shared are free ?
    thanks

    Only create in-app purchase for retail content and not for free content but entitlement only applies to retail folios. Once customer with sign in with their credentials they can download entitled content.
    You also need to make these available for in-app purchase, so also configure the in-app purchase product IDs within iTunesConnect.

  • Ilustrator CC update fails, yet app and CC report up to date

    Illustrator CC on Windows 7 64 bit, fully patched. Today I got a message from the Creative Cloud systray app that updates were available, so I opted to Update all.
    The Illustrator CC showed up as 'failed', and when I restarted the PC, the CC systray app, made no mention of Illustrator having been successfully updated (unlike Indesign etc).
    The CC app no longer offers an Illustrator update (suggesting that the update HAD installed ok) and [Help, Update] says I am up to date.
    Yet, looking at [Help, About], Illustrator shows as 17.0.0 - suggesting that no such update has been effected.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You're fine there has not been a point release on Illustrator 17.0.0 is correct the updates are small bug fixes which will actually be a different build version not a different point release.
    The updates are small bug fixes and performance and security fixes not anything major.
    There has been no point releases for any of the apps only new builds.
    17.0.0 is correct.

  • Tabbing Through Apps AND Open Documents???????

    Hi all. Quick question.
    I live by the CMD + Tab shortcut for Mac OS, I love it, it saves me a lot of time. Heres my question:
    Is there a way to use the CMD + Tab shortcut to not only tab through applications but to also tab through open documents??
    For instance, If I have have multiple Microsoft Word (or any application with more than one document open) files up and I want to tab through them, what is the shortcut for that??
    Thanks for any input!

  • After installing a new APP and open it, the title "NEW" next to the app name won't disappear

    Hello,
    Two days ago, I just made a clean Windows 8.1 installation.
    Since yesterday evening I have encountered this kind of issue where the title "NEW" next to the app name will just not dissapear after clicking on it.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Thank you for any solutions!

    Hi,
    Based on my research, it may be caused by the registry key corrupted.
    I suggest we try the following command to check if it works.
    1.Open an elevated command prompt: press Win+X, then click Command Prompt(Admin),and press Enter.
    2.At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    Meanwhile, please try the following troubleshooter tool to test it.

  • Is there a difference between server apps and Servlets?

    I am trying to figure out if I should write a server application or a servlet and I am trying to get some info on both.

    Thanks for the responses, they make sense based on what I've read so far.
    So let's say you have a server application as opposed to a servlet for a web application. How do you tell the application that you want it to do something? Is it standard practice these days to put the server-side code on a webserver, even if this isn't for a web application, and then have the entry point into the server-side code be a class that extends GenericServlet? Or is it more common (or better, or whatever) to have a server process (like a crontab job) start a Java program that sets up a ServerSocket?
    I'm learning the servlet stuff now, but I'm experiencing the same frustrations I have all along when learning various aspects of Java: even the best books tend to focus on one or two ways of doing things, and figuring out if it's the best way to do what I want to do is difficult, since the other ways aren't dealt with all that much and hardly any comparisons are made.
    Thanks for the input,
