Creating aliases for a server in DNS

Hello,
We are developping a BI solution. We have 4 different environments/domains : development, test and acceptance and production. The servernames differ in each environment. For example the server in development is called SRVDEV10 while the server
in test is called SRVTEST21. The full names will be like SRVDEV10.development.local and SRVTEST21.test.local
Now I would like that the network administrators to create a DNS alias called BI_Server.
If I am in the development environment BI_Server should point to SRVDEV10 and if I am in the test environment BI_Server should point to SRVTEST21.
Is something possible ? Should they make aliases like BI_Server.development.local : SRVDEV10.development.local and BI_Server.test.local : SRVTEST21.test.local. Those domains are seperated and it should normally not possible to go directly from development
to test. It is also internal used and not accessable from the outside (internet)
Of course I can modify the hosts file but I don't want that.
What do you think ?

Hi Constantijn,
According to your description, you want to create a DNS alias and point the alias to different servers. The issue is more related to Windows Server DNS, I would like to recommend you post the question in the Windows Server forums at
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=windowsserver . It is appropriate and more assists will assist you.
However, if you need to configure hostname alias for SQL Server instance, you can review the steps in this following blog.

Is there a way to create aliases for formulas without using other cells?

I have long formulas in certain cells, that consist of a bunch of smaller formulas that I re-use in multiple cells. Is there a way to create an alias for a formula (or create my own function) that I can then piece together into one big formula? I think I can use another cell to drop the formula in, but that just clutters up the spreadsheet.

David,
it looks like you can't define own formulas or create aliases for formulas.

Urgent: How to list all alias for a server throw DNS query?

Hi
Is there anyone know how to list all alias for a server by asking the network DNS. Is that possible?
It doesn't work with InetAddress it return a single result.
Best regard

InetAddress will not get you the aliases, but you can certainly find all the different IP addresses for a specific host name using the getAllByName() method.
You won't be able to get the aliases since those IP addresses (assuming there are more than 1) will all be cached as mapping to the name you passed to the getAllByName() method and you can't clear the map cache until the JVM exits.
So your best hope is to get a list of IP's and either exit your app and restart with a new mode, or save them to a file for another app to read.

Do I need to install Oracle database 12c on PC to create tables for Weblogic server

Hi,
I am new to WebLogic and I am following a book Java EE Development
with Eclipse published by PACKT Publishing to learn Java EE. I have installed Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse
on the PC and I am able to log into the WebLogic Server
Administration Console and set up a Data Source. However the next step is to create
tables for the database. The book says that the tables can be
created using SQL script run from the SQL command line.
I cannot see any way of inputting SQL script into the WebLogic
Server Admistration Console. Aslo there is no SQL Command line
in DOS.
I have put a previous question on the Oracle Forum about the above and I was advised to use SQL Plus
to create the tables for the weblogic server but no mention was made of installing Oracle database.
I have downloaded InstantClient SQL Plus and Instantclient Basic on a PC and
put the files into the same directory C:\SQLPlus but now I am having a problem in that it is
looking for a username and password when I run the sqlplus.exe file.
Now I assume that I need to have an installation of Oracle databse on the
PC so as to be able to use SQL Plus. Am I correct in this or can I create tables for the
datasource in weblogic without an Oracle database?
Thanks in advance for your help. Brian

You should install it separately and also need to change the OBIEE's user.sh to tell it where is your Oracle client installed.

Error while creating connection for Application server in Jdeveloper

Hi,
I am trying to create a new connection for my weblogic server from JDeveloper
I am using weblogic 6.1
The error is :javax.naming.AuthenticationException [Root exception is java.lang.SecurityException : attemting to add an object which is not an instance 0f java.security.Principal to a subject's Principal set
I am currectly passing my userID and password. but still it is giving the above exception.
Please advise me.
With thanks
Murthy

HI
In JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0,
1. Click on the tab for the Connections navigator.
2. Right click on Application Server and select New Application Server Connection.
3. Enter a descriptive name for the new connection, and select the appropriate connection type from the drop down list. Click Next.
4. Specify oc4jadmin for User Name, then enter the oc4jadmin password. Click Next.
5. Select Single Instance for Connect To, then provide the host name where BPEL is installed, the OPMN port number, and the OC4J instance name (the default for 10.1.3.1 is oc4j_soa). Click Next.
6. Click Test Connection. If you have been successful, you should see "Success!"
7. Now, right click on Integration Server and select New Integration Server Connection.
8. Specify a connection name and click Next.
9. In the drop down list by Application Server, select the Application Server Connection you just created. Again, specify the host name where BPEL is installed and the port number. This port number will be the same that you specified for the Integration Server Connection to the home OC4J container. Click Next.
10. Test the connection. You should see something like:
Application Server: OK
BPEL Process Manager Server: OK
ESB Server: OK
11. Now, return to the Applications navigator, and try to redeploy your process using the Integration Server Connection just created. (It is possible that you will have to close JDeveloper and then reopen it for this to work.)

Creating Repository for JCO Server

Hi all,
I have seen examples that we have to build the repository manually in the jco server codes .
e.g.
MetaData fmeta = new JCO.MetaData("STFC_CONNECTION");
        fmeta.addInfo("REQUTEXT", JCO.TYPE_CHAR, 255, 0, 0, JCO.IMPORT_PARAMETER, null);
        fmeta.addInfo("ECHOTEXT", JCO.TYPE_CHAR, 255, 0, 0, JCO.EXPORT_PARAMETER, null);
        fmeta.addInfo("RESPTEXT", JCO.TYPE_CHAR, 255, 0, 0, JCO.EXPORT_PARAMETER, null);
        repository.addFunctionInterfaceToCache(fmeta);
I would like to know is there anyway to access the structures of from SAP to build the repository in my jco server ? Such that i do not need to define this manually.
Deeply appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Seems like there are examples provided in JCO 2.x and JCo 3.x zip package.

How to create aliases for the terminal

I have set up an alias I frequently use when working on the command line and I'd like to change it now but I can't find the file where I set it up.
I googled a bit and found some people saying it must be in either .bash_profile or ~/.bashrc but I don't have either of those files in my home directory.
So basically how do I go about finding out where I have initially set up this alias so that I can modify it?

Solved my own question. It turns out you can also use .profile to define aliases :-)

Creating ODBC DSN for SQL Server in LINUX

Hi All,
I am getting probelms in creating DSN for SQL server. I have created an entry in odbc.ini file under ODBC sources and provided the SQL server detiails as follows

Can you please help in fixing this issue.I am not sure of the Drivers and the descrition that I am using are correct or not.
Please let me know the process of creating the DSN for SQL server in LINUX and also how can we check the available drivers in LINUX?
Thank You in advance,
S1r1

OBIEE does all of its data retrieval from the server. Your server needs to be able to query all of the data sources that you define.
The client is irrelevant here, it's just a web browser consuming data that the BI Server returns to it.
So yes you need to define connectivity from your Linux server to your SQL Server box.
The Systems Requirements doc (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf) details DataDirect ODBC drivers that are provided for non-Widows connectivity to SQL Server

Creating aliases to backup media

Hello all-
Is there an easy way to create aliases for a folder and all its contents (including nested folders and its contents)?
We are trying to devise a way to organize our backup disks. We want to have the availability to search the aliases of those backups via spotlight without having to physically load the backup media.
I'd like a searchable "database" (made of aliases that mirror the file directory of the backups temselves) that lives on my local hard drive. So doing a search in spotlight would point to a file that lives on "backup disk #4".
Is this doable?
thanks!

G5 2.5 quad, 4 gigs RAM,GeForce 6800, decklink HD pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Another possibility is to use a programme to index
the removable media (backup CD's etc.) which is
searchable even when the media is not present. Once
such is Media Indexer

Thanks so much for the tip. This comes close to what I would like to achieve although I wish the resulting index was searchable via finder (not necessarily via spotlight).

How can I create a new iCloud account for a familiy member having a new iDevice and reuse one of my aliases for it

Hi there,
I moved into iCloud from the very beginning and started with one iCloud account for me and my family, making use of email aliases for family members. Now the number of personal iDevices grows and I want to create a new and separate iCloud Account for my son. The pity is, that I reserved his full name already as alias address on my initial iCloud account. If I now delete this alias, can I create a new account with the former alias as new primary email address?
Or is there at least any transfer procedure supported for aliases between different accounts?
Thanks for your help, lauterbachj

Couldn't agree more... the folks who are getting penalized for this are the early adopters of .Mac/iCloud dating from the days when the only way to implement a "family" account was to use aliases. Now all my kids' / my wife's name aliases sit in my account, unable to move. I guess the good news is that if I delete them nobody else will get them, but this seems a pretty poor consolation.
Would it really be so difficult to implement a "move this alias to another iCloud account" option that requires the "sender" and "receiver" to exchange some sort of code to implement the transation in order to prevent fraud?

Set up Failover for Mac server hosting OD, FileSharing, and DNS

I have a 2008 Mac Pro server running Mavericks. On this server, we are hosting Open Directory with about 250 users, DNS, and File Sharing. All of the users have home directories on the server. 25 of them are using Home Sync. All of the home directories and file sharing are stored on an external RAID device connected by eSATA. The boot drive is an internal 250GB SSD.
If the server should suffer some catastrophic hardware failure, I would like to be able to restore a clone of the boot drive to another server (Mac-mini) and just move the external RAID device to the new hardware. This would give me a failover plan that could be implemented in less than an hour. So far this procedure mostly works. The Mini boots up and assumes the identity of the Pro and serves up DNS and File Sharing. The clients all find the Mini at the proper IP address by the FQDN of the original (Pro) server. However, network users are unable to authenticate with Open Directory on the new server..
Surely I'm not the first to encounter this situation. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, if there is a better scheme for having this kind of failover, I'd be glad to consider it. Virtualization might be the key to getting the kind of failover I'm looking for.
Thanks for your help.

You must have working forward and reverse name resolution.

I have 2 websites and 1 IP address for my server, how do I set the DNS up?

I am having trouble following the boards and the Server Admin instructions to make sure I can activate a website.
IP address for the Snow Leopard Server on a mac mini
Server Settings for Web has the 2 domain names listed pointing to the same IP address and same port 80.
How do I point the DNS correctly to the domain I want to respond? www.ziggythewinegal.com
If you put the IP address in a browser, it returns the default domain which is just the apache/osx server page. 64.142.85.71
If you put the first domain name in a browswer, it does the same. www.JoelQuigley.com
How do I setup the DNS to www.ziggythewinegal.com which is in the folder WebServer>ziggy>index.php ?

64.142.85.71 has an existing public DNS translation, so you'll be adding DNS CNAME (alias) records for the each of the additional hosts into your public DNS at WorldNIC DNS servers.
Your local host either isn't running DNS, or it's running local DNS. If it's running local DNS, then hopefully it's not running with the same domain name as your public DNS services; that you have an external DNS zone and an internal DNS zone, with an external DNS domain and an internal domain name. If you are running DNS locally and are using the same domain name for internal and external DNS servers, then you'll also need to add the translation for the new web sites into your local DNS server configuration.
Once the translation is added, add - as John Lockwood indicates - Sites into your web server.
The numbers of folders can vary. Different sites may or may not be in the same folder, depending on what you're doing. Multiple ttraditional static HTML web sites are probably stored in separate folders. A single site with several names can be in the same folder. A web content management system (CMS) can be stored in one folder.
If you have a firewall here (and you should), then you may need some additional steps. Particularly if you're running NAT, and don't already have rules and port-forwarding enabled on the server. Given it appears you're using mail with this server, there are likely some rules in place, though you'll need to confirm that port 80 TCP and possibly port 443 TCP are (also) being forwarded for your web services.
Here is a write-up on adding what Apple calls Sites and what Apache calls virtual hosts.
