Developing Forms using server f60desm using a Mac client running X11

Hi,
You would think that this would work, but sadly I get the old generic error that forms likes to throw:
FRM-91111: Internal Error: window system startup failure.
FRM-10039: Unable to start up the Form Builder.
Yes, I have DISPLAY, NLS_LANG, FORMS60_PATH, etc. set correctly and I can run things like xclock, xterm, etc.. When I use a Windows PC running Exceed, I can get f60desm to work, so it's not the server.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?
Antony.

If you've ever seen my posts before, you'll notice that I always answer my own questions! :)
Turns out the quartz window manager that comes with OSX is a bit crap. Well, it works with most things but not Oracle motif products!
So I basically installed "fink" which is a package installer tool (then FinkCommander which is a GUI front end for it). Then I used fink to install other window managers, ie- icewm or fvwm. Then I start X (from terminal), then the window manager (from another terminal), do all the usual setup (xauth, or xhost <server hostname>, telnet to server, set DISPLAY then run f60desm) and it works!
I can now say I can do all my development on a Mac! JDeveloper works fine, OAF JDeveloper works fine, BPEL JDeveloper works fine and now Forms/Reports running from the server works fine! Goodbye PC! :)

I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable

I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable for this file." If I highlight any other folder of photos the previews are all there. What is the likely reason for these previews being unavailable? JohnnyCam

What camera took these RAW photos?
Did you use any Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer's hard disk?

Two-Way SSL does not work until "Use Server Certs" is selected on client

We have a web service application and a client application. Both applications are deployed in WebLogic 10.3. The web service application is secured by Two-Way SSL. When the client attempts to access the service, we got the following error logs on the server side:
<Dec 8, 2009 3:25:42 PM EST> <Warning> <Security> <BEA-090508> <Certificate chain received from ... was incomplete.>
CertPathTrustManagerUtils.certificateCallback: certPathValStype = 0
CertPathTrustManagerUtils.certificateCallback: validateErr = 4
CertPathTrustManagerUtils.certificateCallback: returning false because of built-in SSL validation errors
We got the same error even if the WebLogic 10.3 domain on the client side uses the same identity and trust keystores as the server side.
The problem was solved when we selected Environment -> Servers -> <server> -> SSL, expanded "Advanced" and selected "Use Server Certs". Could anyone tell me what "Use Server Certs" does to make the difference?
Another question is how we can invoke this web service in a Java application since "Use Server Certs" solution only works for web application deployed in weblogic.

"Use Server Certs" means that a client application running within Weblogic will use the WL managed server's identity certificate as its client certificate. Otherwise, the client application is responsible for selecting the keystore, and presenting the certificate as part of the handshake.
This is a great feature in 9 & 10; client SSL was much more difficult in WL 8.
If you are using a standalone client application to invoke anything over 2-way SSL, you are responsible for presenting the certificate. For instance, if you invoke the page from your browser, your browser can maintain client certificates and you'll get a popup to select which cert to use.

Why does IPhoto create duplicates of photos and graphics that is on my Mac when I import Photostream. I started out with 4000 photos now I have almost 28,000. I am using new Ipad and the Mac is running Mountain Lion

Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library? I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC. I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos. The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor. I am using IPhoto 11.

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

OS X 10.4/5 Server with PC and Mac Clients - Advice Appreciated

I have inherited a OS X 10.4 server and a user base of about 15 fulltime PC users, 10 fulltime Mac users, 10 printers.
This thread will likely contain a LOT of questions as time goes on.
1. Should I set the PCs to Workgroup or Domain? As I have so many users I would prefer a domain setup but am not sure how that works with the OSX server.
2. Is it worth it to upgrade to 10.5? As the processor is a G5 I cannot go to Snow Leopard.
Thanks!

1: Domain definitely. Run Open Directory. Keep in mind you WILL NOT be able to support and run Group Policy extensions for the Windows Machines. I highly suggest you run Parallels or VMWare (if this is on a Mac Pro or XServe Intel machine) and run Windows Server 2008 or Small Business Server 2008 to manage the Windows Machines.
If you do not have a Mac Pro or XServe, or cannot afford to upgrade to a Mac Pro, then I would build a server class PC to run Windows Server or Small Business Server 2008. You can then lock down your Windows machines, run Exchange for collaboration (including push e-mail to iPhones, Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices), provide group policy and run WSUS to update your windows machines automatically.
Trying to patch the windows machines will be a royal pain in the butt without using Windows Software Update Services (part of Windows Server). You will also want an enterprise grade security solution that runs off of Windows Server, such as Trend Micro's Worry Free Business Security 6.1, to content filter, provide anti-virus and anti-malware security and spam filtering. You can use a web based console to check on virus scans, provide security lockdowns etc. There is NO enterprise grade security system that runs the web console off of Mac OS X Server at this time. There are plenty of clients (Trend Micro, Internet Security Barrier, Sophus etc), but no way to control the anti-virus clients on the Windows machines from the Mac server.
You can use your current mail, or if you go with Small Business Server you can run Exchange which is way more capable that the very limited mail capability in OSX Server 10.411. I ran 10.4 server until two months ago at my work, where we upgraded to 10.6.
Group Policy, which is similar to Workgroup Manager Server Preferences, will allow you to lock down and secure your windows machines. You can lock the screen, send software updates, provide firewall preferences etc. This requires Windows Server.
10.5 is totally worth the upgrade. It adds RADIUS support (you can secure and lock down your VPN connections with XAUTH and your wifi access points to require a username and password, rather than just a password), it provides MUCH improved Software Update Services (10.4 Software Update Server is severely limited; it also cannot upgrade 10.5 or 10.6 clients. 10.5 SUS can update 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 clients).
If you upgrade to OSX Server 10.5 you want to do a full bootable backup of the boot drive to an external Firewire drive. You can use CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! to accomplish this. You can then attempt an upgrade, and if it screws up you can then restore the machine and plan to do a clean install and migrate your settings from the 10.4 install.

Can I use Lion server to push updates to my mac clients

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if I can run Lion server and use my clients (OS X ranging from 10.5 to 10.7) to pull updates from this server instead from Apple. Is it easy to setup Mac Update server?
Thanks,

There is a simple way for unmanaged clients.
To point an unmanaged client to your update server, enter the following command in terminal:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://<your_server>:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
(replace <your_server> with the dns name of your update server. If the unmanaged client runs snowleopard or leopard, adjust the url accordingly. For snowleopard clients, remove the "lion-" part. For leopard clients, remove the "lion-snowleopard-" part

Deploy Developer Forms

hello
i´m having problems with deploying Developer Forms in Portal
problem 1:
i try to create a new url portlet in portal to display the developer form. i paste the link i got when running it from form builder (http://marpolas.marpol.si:8888/forms90/f90servlet?config=delavec1). i have the oc4j instance from forms developer running
when running the portlet i get the error:
load: class oracle.forms.engine.Main not found
any ideas?
problem 2:
i would like to have oc4j instance running forms inside portal, now i have to run the oc4j instance from Forms Developer to get my Forms working.
is the a nice step by step guide to create a new oc4j instance for forms?
Thanks in advance
Marjan

Hi
Are you able to run the forms, if you give the URL Directly in the browser http://marpolas.marpol.si:8888/forms90/f90servlet?config=delavec1
I think it if working independently, then it should work in the portlet too as this portlet is just having a link for the URL.

Using Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8) to host web sites on LAN

I would like to know how to use a Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8 ML) to host web sites on my home network (LAN).
I am developing web sites and previously (before ML) I used my Mac Pro to 'host' the sites I was developing to test them out before publishing them to my hosting package. That was when I was using 10.7 Lion and theer was an option in the System Preferences to turn web sharing on.
I have since upgraded my Mac client to 10.8 ML and have configured it to do the same - even though there is no System Preferences option for web sharing any more.
I also have a Mac Mini running on my LAN and its been upgraded to OSX Server 10.8.
Im now trying to configure it to host the web sites I am developing but with no success.
I thought it was just a matter of adding them as sites in the Server's Websites panel (see screen shot)
but so far Ive had no success.
On my Mac client I can simply add a folder in the Sites directory and then open the web site by putting http://myhost/~myuser/name-of-folder and it will load the default file in the folder e.g. index.html
How do I achieve the 'same thing' on OSX Server?

Hi Johnfromglenver,
There are no Mac drivers for the HP Officejet K60 printer. Therefore it is not compatible with the Mac operating systems. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl.

I hope this information helps.

Using ms office 2008 for mac home & student edition with snow leopard serv

Hi all,
I have a very particular question.
I have a new small business starting up and we want to make full use of leopard and snow leopard server in our infrastructure. We also want to use os x for all our client machines.
We want to use ms office 2008 for mac as our main offfice software but i believe we don't need all the uses or festures of the business edtion and i need to seek good advice and clarity on this.
We won't ever use any microsoft exchange servers but instead willl use the apple mail servers and all the other apple server services.
My question is, based on the fact that we will have an all apple mac os x backend and client frontend but want to use the ms office for mac as our business software, and also based on the fact that we wont use the "Build your Brand clip art, Build your skills by lynda.com, the Remote Desktop for mac 2, the Microsoft Exchange Server Support and the Microsoft Windows sharepoint services support, do we really need to go for the business edition? Can we not just use the home and student edition and get the same functionality using everything else apart form what we listed as we wont need these?
The other question is, the Entourage 2008, Web services Edition, will this work with an apple backend instead of ms exchange server?
Kind regards and thanks for your wise advice,
Neil Watson

Thanks, Kurt--I understand now.
One reason I was alarmed was that evidently when the tech installed Office 2008, something went awry with either the key installer or the key code, because when I finished the first two updates (12.1 and 12.2), I tried to open Entourage to see if the problem I'd been having was resolved. Instead of opening, Office gave me a message that my product key was invalid! I did find the product key, and called the tech, who will come by to see what's wrong (he's an honest guy, so I'm sure it's a legitimate error of some kind, not a pirated copy). But the thought of installing two pages of updates and maybe running into the same glitch every time made me blanch. So I'm glad to know that Microsoft is still doing Service Packs for 2008!

How to Open a Word document using Developer Forms

Hi Buddies,
Can anybody help me out in this regard.
My requirement is like this.
In my developer Forms Screen i have one button named resume.
if i click that button then that particular persons resume has to be opened which is MsWord file(.DOC)located in server(Which is the database server).
So we have to launch the word with the required document using the Forms built-ins. The document path will be stored in my database.
Quick response will be appreciated.
Thanks in Anticipation
Regards
Kiran Kumar Jasti

This is a confused and confusing issue. There are no quick fixes. Bear in mind the following points:
Word is a client program. It can only open documents that can be seen from a client PC. If you cannot see your database server's directories from a client PC (and I would hope you can't) you cannot open that document.
what you are left with is creating a copy of that document, transporting it to the client realm, and then overwriting it back on the server after your user has finished with it (if they're editing).
there are many different ways of doing this, but they will probably involve writing an API in VisualBasic or Java. Alternatively you might look at Oracle's IFS.
This is not the right forum for a detailed solution - try the Developer forum (or IFS if that floats your boat).
Good luck, APC

SSIS Package developed in SQL Server 2008 R2 Using BIDS 2008 is not working in SQL Server 2012

I am working in a Product based company.
We have given a Pre-requisites to our customers like SQL Server version should be 2008 or later.
I have developed and deployed my SSIS package in SQL Server 2008 R2 with BIDS 2008.
I have used "Script Component" in my package.
We will take only DTSX package file to the customer places and run using SQL Agent Job daily.
Who are all(Customer Environments) using SQL 2008 or R2 my package is running fine.
Who are all(Customer Environments) using SQL 2012, I am facing the below issue
The component metadata for “Script Component, clsid {874F7595-FB5F-4OFF-9BAF-FBFF825OE3EF}” could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
Still the same package is running fine for some of the customers having SQL 2012.
I am getting the above error only for few customers.
Can someone please guide me how to proceed on this. Is there any solution to go without upgrading the package to SQL 2012. Because we need to maintain only one package for all customers

Hi Katherine,
I am just using the script component only for generating Identity column purpose. I will get the maximum count from the table and using this count value as Input (JurisCount in my below code) for script component and increment the counter for new records.
Finally I am mapping the Script component output value (JurisKey in my below code) to Key column of the table. That's all I am doing with Script Component.
Here is my Simple .net code
/* Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Component
* Write scripts using Microsoft Visual C# 2008.
* ScriptMain is the entry point class of the script.*/
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper;
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.SSISScriptComponentEntryPointAttribute]
public class ScriptMain : UserComponent
public override void PreExecute()
base.PreExecute();
Add your code here for preprocessing or remove if not needed
public override void PostExecute()
base.PostExecute();
Add your code here for postprocessing or remove if not needed
You can set read/write variables here, for example:
Variables.MyIntVar = 100
int counter = 0;
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
if (counter == 0)
counter = Convert.ToInt32(Row.JurisCount);
Row.JurisKey = counter;
counter = counter + 1;
