Create a snapshot from simulation

Hi,
There is a business requirement to create a simulation basing on a snapshot.
As far as I know it is not possible in standard. Is there some easy way to achieve
that functionality? Otherwise a lot of coding needed?
Thank you.

Since the title states the question the otherway around and the topic is interessting for my problem i'm posting a question in this existing thread.
Is it possible to create a snapshot from a simulation?
The bussines requires the option to validate a simulation. Since a simulation can be changed we would like to take a snapshot from the simulation, use the snapshot as validation and if necessary implement the business requirements back into a new simulation version.
If making a snapshot from a simulation is not possbile, do you have any other solutions to have a non changable version of a simulation?
thanks a lot in advance
Bram

Can I create a snapshot from view?

I am using Oracle 9iLite Server for my application on Pocket PC 2002 based PDA. Because my oracle center database table is very large for creating a snapshot and it will take a long time to sync. I want to create a view based the large table then using the view to create the snapshot. Can i succeed in doing it?

A snapshot or view is also not ordered.
And I don't think that you only want to have each time the same
70 lines, or ?

Create a snapshot from a movie clip

I have put the 2 sec video clip into an iMovie event. I wish to select a part of the clip and produce a photo. How do I proceed?

From version 10.0.6 you can share a single frame by positioning the playhead at the desired location in the timeline and selecting File - Share - Image. A window opens asking you to choose a location for the still jpeg file.

How to create a btrfs snapshot from the actual state?

Hi all,
i would like to create a backup via a snapshot from my root volume. How can i create a snapshot from the actual state of my partition and mount it again?
best regards :>

Long time ago but it could be usefull for someone else.
Create snapshot of whole disk on btrfs:
$sudo btrfsctl -s /mnt/snapshot/`date +%F` /
Delete snapshot (don't try to delete it with "btrfsctl -D", it won't work yet):
$sudo btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/snapshot/2011-06-19/
Also usefull could be to create subvolumes for snapshoting. This create testvolume directory with subvolume in /mnt.
$sudo btrfsctl -S testvolume /mnt/

How to cancel email notification from snapshot and simulation

Hi,
We've activated workflow template WS28700001 so that email notification can be triggered when task release. Meanwhile we are using snapshot and simulation at the same time. But when saving sanpshot or simulation the tasks which have status of released also trigger email nofitication. How to cancel this notification of snapshot and simulation?
Regards.

Hi Ravi
I have added a Container Element(version) in workflow template WS28700001 and set a workflow start condition as follows.
&Task.Version& = ' '

How do I create a Snapshot without testing query?

I'm working in an environment where the connection to the database server is done through a VPN that is sometimes broken and I have to wait for some time until it is restored. Other times, the database server is just down and in maintenance.
In the meantime, I have to work with Director installed in a local virtual machine in my laptop.
So, now I'm trying to develop some EDQ processes when there is no connection to the database, I'm unable to save snapshots because they require a test to occur (clicking in the Test button) before saving them, even if I'm providing a full SQL query to snapshot. I think it's because Director needs to know stuff like the data types of the columns to initialize properly the fields in the process.
The problem is that I can't stop working just because there is no VPN. I should be able to create the processes and test them later when connection to the database is restored. I can do a lot of stuff (I can even copy-paste snapshots!) but I can't change nor create new ones, and that blocks me constantly.
How can I do a snapshot save without database connection and have Director asking me the datatypes instead of trying to guess them from a "Test"?

Hi,
You can't create a snapshot without a connection to the database. A connection is needed when a snapshot definition is created in order to retrieve the column names and data types. As a solution to your problem, why not use data interfaces? Create a data interface that is of the required shape and refer to this in your processes (instead of the snapshot). You can then create mappings to different sources of data, e.g. snapshots, reference data, etc. You can test your processes when you're offline using a reference data mapping.

Hyper-V creates hidden Snapshots - Howto merge

First of all, is there a possibility to give information about a bug to microsoft without paying?
As I haven't found one (which would be really NOT customerfriendly) and I hope to help others I will post my problem and solution here.
Today our productive server which is a vm on a hyper-v host ran out of hdd space which was quite confusing for us as the assigned size of the disk is much less then the space the physical disk on the host has.
The hyper-v manager didn't show any snapshots. In the filesystem we saw a vhd AND a avhd file, the avhd file being the newer one and causing the error as it took all the space left on the disk.
We do NOT know where this avhd file comes from (maybe microsoft or some of you know how this could have happened?) but here comes the solution how I managed to merge the vhd and the avhd file.
I created another snapshot. So now I had two avhd files and one vhd file. Now I also saw at least the LAST snapshot in the hyper-v manager. I deleted this last snapshot in the hyper-v-manager (DO NOT DELETE THE AVHD FILE IN THE FILESYSTEM!) and started merging
the snapshot and the vhd. In this merging process also the hidden snapshot is merged and both avhd files dissappear and diskspace is free again.
Reserve some time for the merging process - it took me about one hour.
I'm quite alarmed about that now as we are just bying a new server and wanted to use hyper-v again. Would be really helpful to know where this hidden snapshots come from and how to avoid them so we can decide if we should stick to our decision to use hyper-v.
Also I feel very unhappy with the fact that there iseems to be no possibility to contact microsoft without paying even if there seems to be a bug in their OS.
Best regards,
Tina

Hi Tina, There are a few possibilities here. The Virtual Server could have been moved from a previous Version of Hyper-v, leaving the AVHD file inplace, this wouldn't show up in the new hyper-V console.
Or some backup solutions create independent snapshots, which are using to backup online Virtual servers
Have you moved your Virtual Servers recently to new hardware ? you don't mention what version of Server your are using 2012 ? 2008R2 , 2012R2 ?.
Also if you delete a snapshot on 2008R2, the snapshot can stay there until you power off the virtual server. at which point it then automatically merges back into the original VHD.
When you delete a snapshot, the .avhd files that store the snapshot data remain in the storage location until the virtual machine is shut down, turned off, or put into a saved state. As a result, when you delete a snapshot, you will need to put
the production virtual machine into one of those states at some point to be able to complete the safe removal of the snapshot.

Creating training videos from screen captures?

Hello folks,
Is it possible to create interactive videos from a series of screen captures. I understand the preferred method is to use Captivate to record a session, however, all my software walk throughs are created in a VM and installing Captivate inside a VM is not always practical.
In the past, when I worked with RWD uPerform, I captured static screens using a really good/free tool called Gadwin screen capture. Once completed, I could add these screens into RWD, select clickable areas and RWD would do the rest by simulating clicks, motions, etc.
Is this possible in Captivate?
Thus far, my experience with Captivate involved doing direct recordings, in a manner similar to Camtasia.
Thank you.

Hi there
If you are seeking a smaller footprint (read mobile or possibly portable) version of Captivate, please request same using the Wish Form. Adobe development does pay attention to these. If enough folks request something or report a certain issue, it gains a higher priority on the list of features or fixes.
Cheers... Rick

How to create an invoice from multiple sales doc.

Hi,
how to create an invoice from multiple sales doc.
thanx,
sourav

hello, friend.
assuming that your settings in VTFA and VTFL allow, you can create 1 invoice for many sales orders or deliveries by using VF04. choose all documents that apply and click "collective billing document".
you can also click on "simulation" if you want to test if the combination is possible and the system will give you a split analysis if this is not possible.

Creating a snapshot without primary keys

Hi,
I would like to create a snapshot for a table that does not have a primary key. I've read the thread
"Re: creating snapshots without a primary key??"
from Mar 24, 2003, which seems to indicate that this is allowed if the snapshot is not updatable. However, even when I disable the "Updatable?" option, I still get the following error:
WTG-20502 Packaging Wizard Failed. 500
CONS-10032: Publication item: WTGPI_10012 cannot
be updatable, primary keys for xyz.abc not found.
BTW, the Oracle9i Lite Developer's Guide for Windows 32 is really thin in this area. In particular, the description of the Updatable feature is the following:
This check box defines the snapshot to be created
as updatable.
That description has a lot of unmet potential.
Thanks,
Tim

Hello,
If you create a snapshot that has no primary key, you have to check the option "complete refresh".
Oracle uses the primary key to track changes for the "partial refresh" option (only send changes back and forth).

Receiving zfs snapshots from remote system

Hi guys,
if you create zfs snapshots on systemA and then send them to systemB, how do you recover the snapshots from systemB back to systemA?
Thanks guys .

The same way, just do a send/receive from B to A. But that would create a new filesystem, not get you the snapshot within the original zfs back.
cheers

Grants for a procedure to create a snapshot

Hi Forum,
I'm struggling with identifiying the necessary system rights to enable a procedure to create a snapshot using execute immediate.
Is anybody aware of the grants which have to be assigned to the user owning that proc?
Thx for any help,
Juergen

Hi,
sure:
I'd like to execute a statement such as the following:
Execute Immediate ('
create materialized view test_mv
start with sysdate
next round(sysdate + 1) + 2/24
as <select-statement>');
the statement works well if I send it to the database directly but fails with error 'insufficient rights' when executed from within a proc using the above kind of statement.
I granted 'CREATE ANY SNAPSHOT' to the owner of the procedure already.
Best regards,
Juergen

Reviewing steps to create a snapshot

I am sure this is dead simple, but I cannot see how to do it.
I have just editted an image, initially by cropping, then making some general tweaks. I saved this as a Snapshot.
After some though, I decided I wanted to change the crop, so I went back to the original image, and re-cropped it. Fine, But now I wanted to re-apply some of the changes made in the Snapshot. How can I see the steps that I went through to create the snapshot? I saw Update with Current Settings on the sub-menu (right click) for the snapshot, but wasn't sure if that was what i wanted to do.
Can someone point me in the right direction pls.
Thanks

Thanks for your quick responses. What I didn't make clear in my questions was this... When I say I wanted to re-crop, I want to re-crop the original image to include a part that is not in the cropped image. Not so much include more in the crop, just re-position it. That is why I went back to the original image, as this looked to be the only way to see all of the original image.
Sorry to have not made that clear in the first place.
I guess a more ideal solution would be able to adjust a crop on a snapshot, and by adjust I mean increase, decrease, or re--position the crop.
Anyway, I think therefore, the question I should have asked is this. Having created a Snapshot, how can I reload this, so I can continue my workflow from where that snapshot finished? (This would enable me to see the steps to reach that snapshot).

MS Azure Recovery Services Agent was unable to create a snapshot - 0x186C2

Hello in the Azure Backup forum,
We use Microsoft Azure Backup on a VM in Azure. We have scheduled a backup for everyday. However, so far it has not been able to backup anything it fails with:
"Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent was unable to create a snapshot of the selected volume. Please try the operation again. If the issue persists, contact Microsoft Support. (0x186C2) "
and in the Windows event log it is found that:
Event ID 20 - volsnap:
" a volume snapshot of C:\ was interrupted - free space could not be calculated " - this has been translated from Danish.
Furthermore when I try doing a manual backup via volume shadow copy services I get the following error:
When troubleshooting and researching I find hotfixes for this type of error for Windows 2003 Server but none for Windows 2012 R2 or specifically for Microsoft Azure Backup.
Any suggestions and help will be highly appreciated :-)
Looking forward to hear from you.
Red Baron

Hi,
Please change the Shadow Copy Storage limit for the System drive to NO LIMIT and check. You may refer:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e8cac987-e3b9-4ac1-9247-a72e1f953036/was-unable-to-create-a-snapshot-of-the-selected-volume-0x186c2?forum=windowsbackup
Also, I see that in that error message it states about Free space could not be calculated. Please make sure that you have enough free space (atleast equivalent to that size of snapshot).
Regards,

How to create a snapshot?

I have the whole setup up and running for a week now, no problems. I want to create a snapshot of the VM. Do I need to shutdown Oracle and/or the VM to create a snapshot or can I create a snapshot while everything is still running?
Thanks

you can do either one. taking a snapshot while the system is UP requires additional disk space (memory size).. also after you restore from this snapshot, give the VM a few minutes to 'wake up'.. in this version of Workstation you can only have 1 snapshot, meaning that once you take the snapshot you will not be able to go back to the shipped version of the VM other than a reinstall (or you can keep a copy of the directory right after a fresh install). Version 5 of workstation allows multiple snapshot management...
