Create many SIA with only one installation issue

Hi,
I want create many CMS linked to corresponding SIA in one install.
For sample, we have:
PRG -->CMS 6400
TST -->CMS 6500
In the install, The SIA for PRG is autolmatically created.
After this, I have created a new database in Mysql for TST.
I have used command for create a new SIA :
./addnode.sh -name SIATST -siaport 6411 -cms boxi:6400 -user Administrator -password PRG
I have launched the command :
./cmsdbsetup and respond the name of the new SIA --> SIATST
I have 'updated' the datadase info and reinitialize the database. At this time, the CMS port is asked and I have respond 6500.
Like explain at the end of the tool, I have launched the command:
./ccm.sh -updateobjects -cms boxi:6500
After start the SIATST, I can connect to the CMS:6500 and all services is connected to the port 6500 (in the command line -ns boxi:6500).
Unluckily, the <node> name SIATST is always present in SIAPRG (cms on 6400) but on failed to start.
I have tried to remove this by command:
./removenode.sh -name SIAPRG -cms boxi:6400 -username Administrator -password PRG
I have the error:
Logging on to boxi:6400 as user Administrator with secEnterprise authentication...
The SIA on this machine with the name SIATST doesn't exist in the cluster you are connected to.
In the 'Server' tab in the CCM interface, I have always this node information and all services linked.
It's possible to remove this SIATST on SIAPRG ?
This procedure is good for wanted solution ?
Thanks
Gilles

Why two primary that is 'coz geographically based server support and workstation. You can think it as a data center to data center split.
That doesn't make sense and aren't valid reasons for 2012 (not that you can necessarily change it now).
This line jumps out at me in the log file though: "An MP exists on this machine".
That looks like the system you are installing on previously had an MP on it. I would delete the ccm namespace in WMI, cleanup all reference to ccm and Configuratin Manager from the registry, and then try again.

How to connect many devices with only one FW800 port in iMac?

Hi,
I am upgrading to a new Intel iMac from a 2004 vintage Dual2.0GHz PowerMac. I currently have 8x d2 Quadra drives chained by FW800, and 2x Iomega drives connected vis FW400 hub which also connects HD cams.
My questions is that with only one FW800 port in iMac, I think my devices connectivity is the following?
(1) Get a FW 800 hub (I can only find 2 port ones at the Apple store and BestBuy)
(2) Connect the d2 Quadras to one port of the FW800 hub
(3) Get a FW 800 to FW 400 cable
(4) Connect my 6 port FW400 hub to the 2nd port of the FW800 hub
Thanks for reviewing this solution, and I would also appreciate other suggestions or hear about your experiences if you have a similar set-up.
Will

In addition to your listed considerations, you should consider the following.
Many storage needs do not required FireWire 800 speed. For example, USB 2.0 works fine for your Time Machine backup drive. If you are just storing user data such as your iPhoto or iTunes media files, USB 2.0 is more than fast enough. So, as much as possible, if any of those external drives have USB 2.0 connections and the data storage does not need FireWire 800 speed, offload as much as possible to USB 2.0. I used to be a +FireWire snob+, but since getting an Intel iMac, I find that USB 2.0 works quite well for most data storage purposes.
There are new hard drives that are power efficient and as large as 2TB. Consolidate your data storage needs onto a smaller number of very large drives, partitioned as needed. This will make your setup more reliable (smaller number drives), and save reduce power consumption. If any of your current externals are SATA, you can probably replace the existing drive with an extra large one.
So, I think you setup should be, extra large FireWire 800 drive connected to the FireWire 800 port directly. Using a 9-pin to 6-pin cable, connect the FireWire 400 hub. Connect any non-storage FireWire 400 devices there. Do some data transfer testing to make sure having the 400 hub there on the chain does not cause the 800 connection to slow down.
Connect other drives as needed using USB 2.0, existing or new. Retire the smaller of your external drives.

Creating a class with only one method in it

Do you think it is worth creating a class if you only have one method in it?
Or do you think i should just put it in the class that contains the main method?
Just wondering.
Thank you.

lol, what does it depend on.
The class i am talking about, is to register new
customers, A class is typically a noun in your problem description - so the class could be Customer, or maybe Registry. But "register new customers" is an action, so this should be a method, and it should belong to whatever class in your system you think should have the responsibility to register new custromers.
a pretty major part of the application.
But is it really required to have it's own class?
If it still depends, what does it depend on?

Create a Graph with only one set of data? Threw serial

I feel this is a simple question, but I am over thinking it. I am trying to make a program that takes data that is sent threw serial Rs232 from a device, and put that data both into a file and display a live graph of the data (saving the graph would also be great). The devise is strait forward it gives me data when it is don't making the test. After it has the data is sends it and it is always in this form, (ignore Quotes) "[ 122.8 PSI ]' where "122.8" will always be 5 characters and the decimal point stays the same.
I would like to take Ex. 122.8 and plot that on y and use the line number from the text file as the x value. How can this be achieved?
Currently I am displaying the values in a list because I can't figure the graph out. But attached is my messy code and a sample of data that gets sent.
P.S.. The data list can get as long as 2000 or more.
side question... when the program is built into an EXE when using serial, can the user change what port?

Well, that's called Rube Golberg code.
All that you have to do is convert the string to a numeric (i.e. a single Scan From String not your match pattern functions) and wire it to a chart. The chart's x axis by default will increment by 1 with each sample written so reading the x axis from file is silly. Be sure to set the chart history. Since you are already writing the data to file, why write it again? Either write the full string or just the value. Your second while loop becomes unnecessary and if for some reason you needed it, it would only record the very last value.
Don't open the file with each iteration. Place that outside the loop.
You might want to take the free LabVIEW tutorials.

Load balancing with only one Real Server on CSM

Other than create a VSERVER with only one real server in it - is there a way of load balancing when you have only one real server now and may be additional servers to be added later?

the only way is to use the vserver.

Issue with only one client - The client version 5.00.7958.1000 does not match the MP version 5.00.7711.0000. The client will not be installed.

Below issue is with only one client in that untrusted domain. So boundary is not the issue.
Env -
mydom.com has SCCM PRI site (MP, DP as well).
Client is in untrusted forest.
Please help.

Create multiple portal instances with only one database?

Can someone create multiple portal instances with only one database?
If so, how is this done, just by running the portal configuration wizard?
How are most people running with multiple developers working on portal? Do they share a portal instance, or create their own?
Thank you very much!
Phillip

i'm currently using 9ias rel 2(9.0.2) and i have install one infrastructure and two mid tier, hoping that this will create two portal, but it didn't. Can you please tell me how to do create two portal within one server.
thanks and regards;

Renewed my subscription with the Sun app, was charged £0.69 but app won't load seem that I am not the only one having issue with this app. How can I claim my money back?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time

I recently bought a MacBook Pro, and I figured it would be pretty simple to move my iPhone to sync with iTunes on the Mac from iTunes on my pc, afterall it is the same program and both are designed for the iPhone.
I have been successful in getting the Contacts and Calendar to sync, but the Music, Applications, Video and a few other things give me this message when I check the sync box:
"The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase the iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
Obviously, I don't want to erase everything. Actually, I don't care about Music, Videos, Podcasts or Ringtones as I don't have any, but I do care about Photos and Applications. Actually Photos I can reload too, but I don't want to loose the apps I have purchased with the iTunes App Store.
I even tried going back to the PC and unchecking the Sync boxes on it, hoping this might disassociate it from the phone, but now even on that PC I get the same message.
How do I disconnect phone from the old iTunes and be able to sync it to the new iTunes? This should be simple right?

I made an appointment with a Mac Genius and I will say that while it was better than getting to talk to India on a poor quality phone call it was just about as helpful. Sure she was cute and friendly, but I left without my issue resolved and was surprised that I didn't even get a followup from anyone asking about my experience (hence my venting here)
Anyway, I found a solution for my issue here: http://tinyfish.net/2008/07/18/how-to-sync-iphone-with-multiple-computers/
This is a real solution to the issue, and has the benefit that I can do this to as many machines as I need and sync at any of them instead of just one. Hopefully, Apple doesn't delete my response since it truly is the answer to the problem and others might be looking for the same solution.

Why won't my iMessage work with only one contact in my phone all my other iMessages send and they just got an iphone but all their iMessages are sending also. I've tried restarting my phone, deleting messages, contact, restarting network

Multiple events per date with only one photo each - Unwanted

I have the eyefi wireless sd card in my camera and it is setup to transmit my photos into iphoto automatically, which it does. However, the problem arises in that iphoto creates multiple events for the same date each containing only one photo. I would prefer that iphoto create individual events per date and have the multiples of that date's photos within. I thought I had the settings configured to do so as I have preferences set for autosplit events one per day but I still see events such as - July 3, 2008 - July 3, 2008 - July 3, 2008 - each with only one photo inside.
I am wondering if it is something in iphoto's settings or the way in which eyefi transmits the photos into iphoto.
Any thoughts?

I do not have a WiFi connection to my camera so can not test but am just guessing
I can think of two possibilities
- 1 - if you are taking the photos with the WiFi connected then each time you snap a photo it may be being sent which would be looked at as a new import and therefore create a new event - to stop this I believe you would have to not have a full time WiFi connection to your camera or somehow set the camera to send batched - not each one - iPhoto will take each batch into and follow the rules for making events for that batch even if you camera is sending many batches of One photo
- 2 - You have the preference for making batches set to one every two hours and there is a long time between photos - I'm guessing that #1 is more likely

SQL Server 2012 Undetected Deadlock in a table with only one row

We have migrated our SQL 2000 Enterprise Database to SQL 2012 Enterprise few days ago.
This is our main database, so most of the applications access it.
The day after the migration, when users started to run tasks, the database access started to experiment a total failure.
That is, all processes in the SQL 2k12 database were in lock with each other. This is a commom case of deadlock, but the Database Engine was unable to detect it.
After some research, we found that the applications were trying to access a very simple table with only one row. This table has a number that is restarted every day and is used to number all the transactions made against the system. So, client
applications start a new transaction, get the current number, increment it by one and commit the transaction.
The only solution we found was to kill all user processes in SQL Server every time this situation occurs (no more than 5 minutes when all clients are accessing the database).
No client application was changed in this migration and this process was working very well for the last 10 years.
The problem is that SQL 2k12 is unable to handle this situation compared to SQL 2k.
It seems to occurs with other tables too, but as this is an "entry table" the problem occurs with it first.
I have searched internet and some suggest some workarounds like using table hints to completely lock the table at the begining of the transaction, but it can't be used to other tables.
Does anyone have heard this to be a problem with SQL 2k12? Is there any fixes to make SQL 2k12 as good as SQL 2k?

First off re: "Unfortunatelly, this can't be used in production environment as exclusive table lock would serialize the accesses to tables and there will be other tables that will suffer with this problem."
This is incorrect.
Using a table to generate sequence numbers like this is a bad idea exactly because the access must be serialized. Since you can't switch to a SEQUENCE object, which is the correct solution, the _entire goal_ of this exercise to find a way to properly
serialize access to this table. Using exclusive locking will not be necessary for all the tables; just for the single-row table used for generating sequence values with a cursor.
I converted the sample program to VB.NET:
Public Class Form1
Private mbCancel As Boolean = False
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim soConn As ADODB.Connection
Dim soRst As ADODB.Recordset

mbCancel = False
Do

End With
' Start a new transaction

With soRst
.ActiveConnection = soConn
.CursorLocation = ADODB.CursorLocationEnum.adUseServer
.CursorType = ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenForwardOnly
.LockType = ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockPessimistic
.Open("SELECT * FROM dbo.ControlNumTest")
End With
With soRst
sdData = .Fields!UltData.Value ' Read the last Date (LOCK INFO 1: See comments bello
slValue = .Fields!UltNum.Value ' Read the last Number
If sdData <> Date.Now.Date Then ' Date has changed?
sdData = Date.Now.Date

End If
.Fields!UltData.Value = sdData ' Update data
.Fields!UltNum.Value = slValue + 1 ' Next number
End With
Call soRst.Update()
Call soRst.Close()
' Ends the transaction
Call soConn.CommitTrans()
Call soConn.Close()
soRst = Nothing
soConn = Nothing
txtUltNum.Text = slValue + 1 ' Display the last number
Application.DoEvents()
slDelay = Int(((Rnd * 250) + 100) / 100) * 100
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(slDelay)
Loop While mbCancel = False
If mbCancel = True Then
Call MsgBox("The test was canceled")
End If
Exit Sub
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
mbCancel = True
End Sub
End Class
And created the table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ControlNumTest](
[UltData] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[UltNum] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_CorreioNumTeste] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[UltData] Asc
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = on, FILLFACTOR = 80) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
go insert into ControlNumTest values (cast(getdate()as date),1)
Then ran 3 copies of the program and generated the deadlock:

It's the S lock that comes from the cursor read that's the villian here. U locks are compatible with S locks, so one session gets a U lock and another gets an S lock. But then the session with an S needs a U, and the session with a U needs an
X. Deadlock.
I'm not sure what kind of locks were taken by this cursor code on SQL 2000, but on SQL 2012, this code is absolutely broken and should deadlock.
The right way to fix this code is to add (UPDLOCK,SERIALIZABLE) to the cursor
.Open("SELECT * FROM dbo.ControlNumTest with (updlock,serializable)")
So each session reads the table with a restrictive lock, and you don't mix S, U and X locks in this transaction. This resolves the deadlock, but requires a code change.
I tried several things that didn't require a code, which did not resolve the deadlock;
1) setting ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS=OFF ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS=OFF
2) SERIALIZABLE isolation level
3) Switching OleDB providers from SQLOLEDB to SQLNCLI11
Then I replaced the table with a view containing a lock hint:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ControlNumTest_t](
[UltData] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[UltNum] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_CorreioNumTeste] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[UltData] Asc
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = on, FILLFACTOR = 80) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
go
create view ControlNumTest as
select * from ControlNumTest_t with (tablockx)
Which, at least in my limited testing, resovlved the deadlock without any client code change.

Counting (interneal timebase)events with only one counter

Hello,
i am using a PXI-6115 card. This card is external clocked with 8 MHz. But I want to measure only about every second. So I divided the external clock with the internal counter 0. This works fine.
Now my problem. Now I want to know the external clock rate. Is it possible to build a pulse period measurement with only one counter??
I thinking of counting internal timebase- pulses with counter 1 and to start and stop the counter 1 by the output of counter 0.
Is this possible and how??
Thanks for help, Ruediger

Yes, there's a way to measure pulse periods with a single counter. The trick is to perform a buffered period measurement and sum the periods. The size of the buffer will determine the quantization/roundoff error.
The source of this error is that you have no control over the initial phase relationship of your external clock and your internal timebase. There's a nominal ratio between the two frequencies, and you'd start by expecting ratio * (buffer size) total cycles counted.
However, your actual count must be an integer, so you'll get either the next-highest or next-lowest integer, but you can't predict or control which one.
Example: If you collect 1 period at 8 MHz using the internal 20 MHz timebase, you'll capture either 2 or 3 e
dges from your timebase, implying a measured frequency of either 10 MHz or 6.6667 MHz.
If you collect 1001 periods, you'll capture a total of 2502 or 2503 timebase edges, implying a measured frequency of either 8.0016 MHz or 7.9984 MHz.
Notes:
1. In many cases, you can set up for buffered event counting, using the internal 20 MHz clock as a source and your external 8 MHz as a gate.
The advantage is that the buffered values already represent cumulative time so you don't need to sum them.
A disadvantage would be that the internal 24-bit counter value will roll-over in less than 1 second at 20 MHz. I typically capture periods and then sum in software because I can convert to floating point between capture and sum if necessary to produce both high-resolution and long duration measurements.
2. You should typically ignore the very first value in the buffer and work only with the others. If you want to capture 1001 legitimate periods, size the buffer for at least 1002

SQL query to retrieve families with only one generation from a family db

Hi,
I need to write an SQL query that would select families with only one generation ((which means a person - or a married couple - with kids) or (a person - or a married couple - with parents but no kids)) from a database containing families. The simplified db structure is:
person:
id - int, primary key
siblings:
id
parent_id
kid_id
marriage
id:
husband_id
wife_id
Could anyone please help me? I dont really have any idea how to accomplish that...

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Assuming that siblings (despite its name) contains only parent-child relationships, and that the parent_id could be either the mother or the father:
WITH     got_tree     AS
     SELECT     CONNECT_BY_ROOT s.parent_id     AS root_id
     ,     LEVEL                     AS lvl
     FROM          siblings     s
     LEFT OUTER JOIN     marriage     m     ON     s.parent_id     IN ( m.husband_id
                                                        , m.wife_id
     START WITH     parent_id     NOT IN     ( SELECT kid_id
                                           FROM        siblings
     CONNECT BY     s.parent_id     IN ( PRIOR m.husband_id
                            , PRIOR m.wife_id
                            , PRIOR kid_id
SELECT       root_id
FROM       got_tree
GROUP BY root_id
HAVING       MAX (lvl)     <= 2
;This will get a list of parents who may or may not have children, but who do not have either parents or grandchildren.
To get their spouses and children (if any) you will have to join this result set to all the other tables. At that point, you can eliminate poeple who do not have ancestors themselves, but are married to people who have more than one generation of ancestors.
The details of how to do that depend on the details of your tables. If you'd like help, then post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for all tables) and the results you want from that data.

I'd need sample data in order to test this, of course.

Importing m2t into iMovie with only one conversion

Ok, so m2t files have been beaten to death in these forums, but I'm still puzzled. Here's my situation. I have a Canon HV20 and only replay the tape once to avoid wear and save time (really?). So I capture to m2ts. Fine. Now I'd like to be able to use these in iMovie with only one conversion. I can convert the stream to a framed (QT) format like AIC. But I'd like to do this just once. Meaning, when I convert clip.m2t to clip.mov I'd like to drag this to iMovie and have iMovie just "copy" an not import/convert. Can I convert to a format where I can just drag to the media folder in the given iMovie project?
For those watching. My toolchain is
1. rewind the tape
2. capture with HDVsplit (win), DVHScap (mac), or whatever
3. split/clip the m2t files with HDVsplit (win) or MPEGstremclip (mac/win), or HDVxDV (mac) and leave as m2t
4. convert the m2t clips I want in my movie to QT+AIC
5. import these QT+AIC .mov clips into iMovie
6. edit
I'd like to optimize 4 and 5. (And by the way, someone should port HDVsplit to mac.)
Thanks,
WL

MPEG Streamclip allows you to export as QuickTime with Apple Intermediate Codec (also QT Player can do this but I prefer MPEG Streamclip for these tasks). I think you should set the resolution to 1440x1080 because that's what iMovie uses internally for 1080i.
I did a quick test and iMovie seems to accept such AIC-encoded .mov files directly to its Media folder. But run some tests through your complete workflow before trusting this will work!
Ok this was helpful. If I take 1440x1080 QT/AIC output from MPEGstreamclip, I can efficiently copy the file in the project. Works like a charm and looks great in iMovie. (I can also now take the 1920x1080 QT/AIC output from streamclip and do the same; not sure what change there. I did a test on a 1:24 length mpeg-2 stream. The 1440x1080 with and without deinterlacing were 700MB and 600MB respectively, while the 1920x1080 is at 800MB. So it makes sense to do 1440x1080 since iMovie handles it fine.)
In summary (hope this helps someone), here's what I do:
0a. Macbook with iMovie HD
0b. LaCie macos formated external drive drive (hfs+)
0c. Canon HV20 filmed at 1080i (not sure what do with the 24p cinemode)
1. use DVHScap (mac) to capture the stream from the HV20. This gives file.m2t, for example. This can be viewed with VLC, for example. (on windows use HDVsplit to capture). Copy the m2t file to the external drive.
2. now use MPEGstreamclip to disect the m2t file. use the 'i' and 'o' to mark inputs and outputs and then "save as". Save this as file_clip.ts for example. The .ts is the same as an .m2t file, so save it as either.
3. now you should have 1 or more file_clip.ts depending on how many times you do step 1 and 2.
4. use MPEGstreamclip in batch mode to take the file_clip.ts or m2t files and "export to Quicktime". Select Apple Intermediate Codec as the type compression type. Yank the quality up to 100%. Select 1400x1080 (4:3) as the frame size and click "deinterlace video" (my opinion on the deinterlacing). Save the movie on the external drive as file_clip.mov.
5. now start a new iMovie HD project and save the project to the external drive. Quit iMovie. open-apple-click on the myproject.iMovieProject to "show package contents". After this you can move your file_clip.mov files to the media directory under this package. A move is best since copy does an actual copy. Move just moves a pointer.
6. start up iMovie and view the trash can when prompted ("Some stray files were found in the project...."). Now drag the trash files to the clips area in iMovie.
7. now edit.
This is a nice approach for a couple of reasons. The .m2t files are great storage formats. The conversion from mpeg-2 stream (m2t) to a framed format like QT+AIC (mov) is done +only once+. And the quality is maintained. Also, I can do this all to an external harddrive, which is nice since I'm limited on my macbook.
I don't have HD gear. Currently I archive SD DV to tape and to big harddisks. In the future I would like to continue to archive HD content in its native compressed (non-AIC) form. Obviously this works via DVHScap, right?
Yes. The m2t files are a great archival format. The 1:25 long clip above was only 275MB while the framed formats were 3 times that. The stream saves differences so it's a lot more efficient (but you don't have frames for editing). VLC is also quick as quick for viewing these. DVHScap never drops any packets (mpeg-2) when capture (for me at least). HDVsplit is also great, but only for windows. HDVxDX also worked like a charm.
Well anyway, thanks for the chatter.
