Do I need to create loopback IP address on servers when using LD?

Beside ASLB mode, do I need to create loopback IP address for the servers when using Local Director?
Understand LD does not use NAT for IP address, so the server may drop the packet when it sees the packet's destination is not for its own IP.
And how to set the loopback IP on Windows servers? I can only create the secondary IP under the ethernet NIC configuration, and this always cause the two web servers to complain about duplicated IP address.

The case of the loopbacks depends on whether you run LDIR in dispatched mode or directed mode.
Directed mode is a form of NAT where the LDIR changes the destination IP address in the incoming packet to that of the real server chosen.
Dispatched mode is sort of like 'Layer 2 NAT' or 'MAC NAT', because the LDIR changes the destination MAC address but not the destination IP address. For the server to actually pick up a packet adressed to an IP address not configured on the ingress interface, it will need to have this address configured somewhere else, and this is where the loopback adapter comes into play.
It is true that with ASLB, you need to run dispatched mode. This is due to how the rewrite is implemented on the C6K (which is needed for ASLB).
Regarding the Windows configuration, you need to install the loopback adapter. How this is done depends on the Windows version, but basically you need to install the driver manually, as if you had added a physical adapter to the machine and were to manually install a driver. You'll find the loopback adapter under the 'hardware' manufacturer Microsoft in the Add Hardware configuration dialog. When the new 'hardware' has been installed, you can configure an IP address on it like any other NIC.
So to answer your question: No you do not *need* to use loopbacks when using LDIR, but this depends on the LDIR configuration.

Hello Roli,
If your requirement is to launch Transaction IW52 after clicking apply button then you can use Transaction Launcher tool in CRM to integrate to CRM WebClient UI.

We can't do darker, but try Shift-O to cycle through other colours.

Need to create temp account if you don't use Migration Assistant first?

I don't have access to my old iMac right now, so I've gone ahead and created a main account on my new one. When I'm ready to bring over stuff from my old computer, do I need to create a temporary account first on my new iMac? I've heard that unless I do that, Migration Assistant won't bring over the info into my main account but rather will create an entirely separate account with all the old info.

I have never used Migration Assistant with an Erase and Install, as I have never had 2 computers running at the same time. I always migrate things manually one at a time from my backup external hard drive using the "Import" and "Export" functions under "File". I don't know about the network settings--I just generally set them up anew with the Network Assistant. I don't know about a .Mac account since I don't have one, but I imagine you could do something similar. I like to just start off with only the the address book and Safari Bookmarks and be sure everything is working properly before importing other files, and then I just bring those in one at a time. If you have a good backup of everything, you should be able to import anything you want after an Erase and Install. But it is essential to have a good and complete backup of everything important to you.
Good luck!

SSRS adhoc (2005/2008) - Need to create Report Model (.smdl file) for adhoc using Stored procedure

Hi All,
I need to create Report Models using stored procedures. But whenever I am going to create data sources for same, I am just getting tables and views to use. Please see the screenshot below:
Is there any way out to create data source based on stored procedure? Please help.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Kumud

Hi Kumud,
As per my understanding, it is not support to create a Datasource View (DSV) using stored procedures.
In a DataSource View, only views, tables or named queries can be used. We can use stored procedures in a query. No parameterized queries, parameterized stored procedures or parameterized UDFs can be used in a DSV named query. You can try to using below approach
to achieve what you are require:
To build views in our relational source and add the views to the datasource view to proceed with modelling.
There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

Why can't a new folder be created within my user home directory when using 'Save As' in Mountain Lion?

Hi,
So I want to create a new folder within my main user home directory (not the root directory) just for my developer-related files? I can do this from Finder, although it does prompt me for my password to do so. However, when using 'Save As' from any app, the 'New Folder' button is greyed out when I select my user home directory. So I have to create the folder in Finder then Save As.
Is this normal behavior? Is OSX discouraging me from adding things to my user home directory by making it less convenient? Is there a good reason it would be discouraging me from creating new folders there? If not, is there a setting that I can change to allow the creation of new folders from the Save As prompt?
Thanks for your help,
B

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

If i want to create and print address labels should i use contacts or a spreadsheet

I am new MAC user. I want to create a separate contact and address list for my Christmas card list. Should I use contacts or should I create a spreadsheet and do a mail merge? I am thinking Contacts should be easier to manage and maintain.
Thanks
Missy

As long as your contacts are in reasonable order and represent the people to be shown on mailing labels, I think you will find Contacts a much easier way to handle this. Starting with Office 2010 for Windows and probably carrying on to Office 2011:Mac, MS changed Mail Merge somehow and I now find it much less intuitive to use and you will have your futility exercised!
I maintain the computers for a small museum where I volunteer and used to do all the mailing label in Office 2007:Win. Then someone decided to upgrade the computers to Office 2010:Win and it now takes me three times as much time and three times the amount of ruined label pages to get what I can do at home on Office 2008:Mac in a few minutes.
If your list need a lot of editing--especially mailing format changes--you may be better off with the spreadsheet.

Need help creating a bootable dvd for solaris 9 using windows

Ok, I am using windows XP, I have 2 hard drives in my computer and want to load Solaris 9 on my other hard drive. I have downloaded the ziped ISO files from sun.com, I have extracted them (sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-c, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-d, and sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-e) Now what? I burned them to a DVD but its not booting to them (I have checked my boot sequence) I figured I would have to make a bootable DVD but I don't know how. All the instructions I am finding are for doing it in Solaris 9. Can someone please give me instructions on what I need to do now that I have downloaded the files or point me to a site that already has the instructions? Also I have Nero 7 Essentials as my DVD burning software.
Thanks

Copy all unzipped pieces into one directory (sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b etc... all 5 pieces)
take command prompt and goto that directory and run the below command
copy /b sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-c + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-d + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-e sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso.iso
It will create sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso.iso file.
Using any DVD Burner software (e.g. Nero 7 or later), Burn the newly ceated image ( sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso.iso) do "Burn Image" (NOT a DATA DVD/CD)

I am having trouble sending bulk emails (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account using group names created from my address book. I use Mail on my I-Mac. When I try to send out a bulk email, the message shows up that my server can't send them, etc.

I am having trouble sending bulk emails from a Mail Group (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account. They come back saying the server can't recognize the data and try again with selected server or try later or edit message, all of which I have attempted a number of times, including re-booting the computer. I am wondering if there is something wrong in my Address Book? I have check Apple Preferences, and Mail Preferences and all seems in order. I can send to any of the individual addresses, but not in a group.
Thanks for your help.

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

I have Mavericks on my MacBook Pro and need to create an iDVD but it freezes when I try to open it. Also same with iMovie (8.0.6)??

Can't open either my version of iDVD (and seems Apple no longer has iDVD??) or iMovie (8.0.6) with my MacBook Pro with Mavericks? Is it not possible to create DVDs anymore with Mavericks, which is what I want to do? Creating DVDs with iDVD was what I do most?? Any help with these issues?
Thanks
Hal

Allen, Thanks for answering. When I try this, I get nowhere:
In the Finder, click the Go menu and choose Home.
Open the Library folder and then the Preferences folder.
Remove the "com.apple.x.plist" file, where "x" should be replaced with the iLife application you are troubleshooting (for example, "com.apple.iphoto.plist" or "com.apple.imovie8.plist").
Remove receipts and reinstall iLife applications
I cant find either the Library or Preferences folders. Are they invisible and somewhere else?
I search with Spot Light for them, I also do not find them....
Advice?
Thanks,
Hal

Need help creating smooth graphic with transparency for web use

I have created a logo that is mostly white with white text and will appear over a textured background image. The logo contains text that I've converted to outlines. I've tried saving it as both a .gif and a .png, but when it's imported into iWeb, the outline of the graphic looks jagged and rastered. When viewed in Photoshop, it looks OK as a .png, but not great as the .gif.
I've tried saving it out as RGB, indexed color and greyscale, using PhotoShops "save for web" function or just saving it as 72dpi myself. I don't know how to get the edges to remain smooth. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you J - here's the weird thing. I actually HAD saved it as a PNG24, and it looked fine on my machine. When I sent it to my client, who used it on his iWeb page, it looks jagged.
After I got your answer, I went to his iWeb page and downloaded the same background image he's using and imported it into a Dreamweaver page on my machine, and placed the same PNG logo over top - it looks as crisp and clean as a whistle. I have to assume that something's happening when he imports it into iWeb. Since I know zero about iWeb, I guess I will have to post another question on their forum, unless anyone knows what could be causing this.

Creating additional folders on iphone 3Gs when using a pop3 account

I want to add additional folders in my pop3 mail account. The default only gives me inbox, drafts, sent and trash. Can anyone advise how to create additional folders???

Not possible with a POP account. Only supported for IMAP or MS Exchange accounts, and even then the other folders need to be created elsewhere (on a computer or web-based mail client), but they can be used on the phone.
