Dynamic Host Name -- Roadrunner

I have a linux box that I would like to install Oracle 8i on for development purposes. I use this PC from home connecting to the internet using Roadrunner.
The problem comes in that Roadrunner assigns me a dynamic server name/address each time I log on. Will this be a problem with the Oracle install? Can I assign a server name like 'localhost' or something to get around this problem?
Also, the install docs require two mount points. Forgive me, I'm fairly new to Linux and totally new to Oracle. Can I just create a couple of directories here for the Oracle apps and data. I just rebuilt my Linux box to give me an Oracle-sized swap and I'd prefer not reinstalling again to create my mount points.
Thanks!

Well, to answer my own questions...and maybe yours.
Apparently the Linux hostname doesn't matter to Oracle. I've logged in with two hostnames and Oracle is quite happy to run under any hostname. With Sybase I had to specify a hostname and 'localhost' was suggested to get around the dynamic naming with dhcp.
And second, the mount points are not necessary to the installation. You just need to specify $ORACLE_HOME in accord with the instructions. Oracle apparently just needs a place to install the software and create the databases. This, I'm sure, is not optimal, but it does work.
Frankly, I'm just happy to have it running after fiddling around for three days.
BTW, I'm running Linux-Mandrake 7.0 (stock kernel) and created a swap partition of 3 times my physical memory (128MB).

Dynamic host name in action link

Hi All,
Is there a way to create the dynamic host name in the url in the action link for dashboard? I have tried to use the repository variable to store the hostname from the server in the navigate to webpage. However, the action link is showing the error when I tried to place repository variable in the navigation to webpage in action link. We do not want to manually change the hostname for each migration .
@{biServer.variables['hostname']}:7001\analytics
Thanks,

Thanks Srini,
I was trying to use the variable value in url of the Action link ( Navigation to webpage). The variable value works inside the report or go url .

How to set dynamic host name in the URL of a URL iView?

Hello,
I am using a standard URL iView that points to some J2EE app I've written and deployed on the same server.
I would like to set the host name to be a dynamic one, this way I won't need to change the iView URL when transporting it from one portal to another. As far as I know the system for a URL iView only controls authorizations but cannot replace the full URL set in the iView.
Any idea who can this be achieved?
Roy

Hi Mrityunjay,
forced URL at runtime will require me to call the URL iView from another iView that I will need to code (setting the URL in the Request object). If I did all this I might as well call it from this iView already.
I would like to do it with no further developments. I would have thought that SAP has constants that can be plugged in the URL for this type of thing, i.e. $hostname...
Rgds,
Roy

Dynamic Global Host Name!!!

Hello Everybody!
I have Time Capsule 2TB, and i have an issue about it, which its how to connect to it via internet?
i know that i must have mobileme account and to be added to advanced in the airport utility.
then i have to setup the Dynamic Global Host Name, this is my problem?
how can i get the Dynamic Global host Name?
Is it from ISP?
is it supported by some regions? or all over the countries?
if so, is it supported in Egypt?
i gave a try and i contact my ISP (Vodafone) but they didnt hear anything or even know anything about the Dynamic Global Host Name. If from ISP, what could i tell them to understand me?
because when i asked about DGHN, no one understand me.
Thank you for your help,
Sincerely,,,

That sounds backwards. The public IP address 196.168.0.4 is administered out of Mauritius, which should make what you see a WAN address. An IP address 10.0.1.1 is a "private" IP address, which you'd expect to see in a LAN behind a NATting router.
(Back to My Mac isn't working properly because you may have more than one device on your network providing Network Address Translation (NAT). Try disabling NAT on one of the devices )
As it says, that means that you are behind multiple layers of routers providing translation of network addresses. Can you tell what WAN address is being assigned to your ADSL modem/router? I'd still try to put that device into "bridge" mode.

Clearing Host Name from Dynamic DNS set up - Home ...

I changed my DNS provider due to poor performance. Since then I have been trying to change the host name and it stays with the original. Do I have to rest teh home hub back to default settings and set it up again?
If so this is very poor...!

Oh and that is "reset the hub"

Cannot resolve host names on local network

It is a local network with router, few Windows computers with shared drives and one Mac.
Windows shares appear correctly in SHARED and can be used without any problems, like iTunes and iPhoto libraries are on those shared drives and work properly, even if ip address of those computers would change.
BUT - if I am trying to use VNC and connect to hostname:port, it says that server is not specified. If I try to ping hostname it says Unknown host.
At the same time, similar ping from Windows computer work without any problems.
It could be possible that router does not support something standard and communicates with Windows using something windows-specific, but what confuses me is that I can see computer names resolved in the finder already! Also, as I said iTunes and iPhoto can work with shared files on dynamic ip's which would be not possible if host names would be not resolved.
Thanks.

Domain Name Resolution for local IP addresses require a Local DNS server running on your network.
Bonjour names will resolve without a Local DNS server. So this is why iTunes and iPhoto works as they use bonjour technology.
A bonjour name ends in .local so in your macs sharing preferences you give the mac a name of imac its bonjour address is imac.local
Other than that you are best giving your devices fixed IP address and adding there hostnames to your hosts file.
the contents of /etc/hosts on your mac would look like
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
so at the above that you could add for example
192.168.1.5 mypc
192.168.1.6 myprinter
Then you could ping 192.168.1.5 by
ping mypc
So would have to add these entries to each hosts file on every computer on your lan.
Or you could setup a local dns server and give each computer on your LAN a fully qualified domain name.

WRT150N host name lookup problem

When I try to access a computer on my LAN using the host name I get a unknown host message. When I use the computer's dynamically obtained ip address it works fine.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make a WRT150N router resolve the host name. My old router used to doit, but i can figure out how to make the WRT150N do it.

Let me know the Firmware you are using on WRT150N?
Try uploding the latest firmware on the website 1.01.9 ....

How can IC WebClient determine the host name for free seating?

Hi,
I want to determine the host name at CRM application server by ICI interface for free seating scenario.

To run a public VPN server, you need to do the following:
1. Give the gateway either a static external address or a dynamic DNS name. The latter must be a DNS record on a public DNS registrar, not on the server itself. Also in the latter case, you must run a background process to keep the DNS record up to date when your IP address changes.
2. Give the VPN server a static address on the local network.
3. Forward external UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 (for L2TP) and TCP port 1723 (for PPTP) to the corresponding ports on the VPN server.
4. Configure any firewall in use to pass this traffic.

During the Solaris installation process, you told it what the hostname was going to be and that you wanted that environment to exist with a dynamic IP address instead of a specific address that you desired.
When Solaris boots it broadcasts that hostname and waits for a DHCP server to be quasi-intelligent enough to award an IP address based upon a pre-configured list inside that DHCP server.   Hostname ABC would always get IP address 123 on subnet rst, hostname DEF would always get IP address 456 on subnet xyz, and so on and so on.
That's the fundamental process for proper (and thus secure) DHCP.
All your other environments (Windows, Debian, Ubuntu) are what might be thought of as "hacked for convenience" to get around that sort of network configuration. They take the lazy way to exist. That partial networking setup is good enough for a home network but would be miserably insecure in a corporate environment. Those choices are operating environments that are nice for end-user desktops but aren't Enterprise Class.
My suggestion?
Review the IP address range in your Netgear router's setup.
It is likely something like 192.169.0.1 through 192.168.0.50 and can be customized.
You probably don't have 50 devices on your network and probably will never have 50 simultaneous devices on your network.
... just do a reconfigure reboot and set your Solaris to use a static IP of 192.068.0.45
Then reboot and I predict your issue that prompted this forum thread will be gone.
That's how I've done it at home for many years, even when installing Solaris to bare metal (no virtualization).

Getting the server Host name in Action Script?

I would like to
be able to read a variable / function and have the result be
"domain.com"
Thanks

Naming workstations - setting host name

I would like to know if there is a way to set host names for multiple
computers once I re-image them with the same base image. I was thinking I
could create a bunch of reg keys something like "lab1-01", "lab1-02" etc.
and register computers in the lab as per their physical location.
It seems though that all their host names will remain the same as per the
original one of the base image. I then can not remote via the host name
unlike with Zen 7 when I could do that in ConsoleOne which did not rely on
host names I believe. So ideally I would like to have an easy way to
populate host names ( and maybe computer names, too ) during registration,
is that at all possible ?
Andrew

I am pretty sure that ZCM 10 also has a policy or setting, which if I
remember is not enabled by default, which will rename the device names
if the workstation name changes.
Here it is ...
Configuration | Device Management | Registration
At the bottom is a section called "Device Dynamic Rename", with t a
checkbox for "Enable automatic renaming of devices". Here is what the
help file says:
Device Dynamic Rename
The Device Dynamic Rename panel lets you enable devices to be renamed,
if necessary, whenever they refresh their registration information. A
device might need to be renamed for the following reasons:
The naming template being applied to the device has changed.
A different naming template (for example, a folder naming
template rather than the Management Zone naming template) is now being
applied to the device.
Because a devices GUID and not its name is used for all relationships
with other ZENworks objects (folders, groups, bundles, policies, and so
forth), renaming the device does not affect anything other than the name
that is displayed in ZENworks Control Center.
You can define this setting at two levels:
Management Zone: The setting is inherited by all devices.
Device Folder: The setting is inherited by all devices contained
within the folder or its subfolders. Overrides the Management Zone setting.
NOTE:If you are configuring the setting on a device folder, you need to
click Override settings before you can modify the setting.

What is exactly "host name"?

Hi there again everyone!
I am being asked to give my host name, it is part of a tutorial for making custom ftp-only accounts on OS X.
I was wondering, is it .. My computer's name?
Perhaps more info would be needed to understand my situation, so here is the link with the tutorial:
http://www.ldml.com/services/support/macosx/ftpUserCreate.html
I am at the "NAT?" section, to get around NATs problem, and it says:
Add the line "advertise all <host>" where <host> is either the host name or external IP address for the FTP server.
Since I have a dynamic IP adress, I though just putting my host name could work, but I wanted to be sure what it was exactly before going further.
If after all it's about domain name (?) or the adress, I've made up an account at DynDNS, and got an adress for my computer which is: nikkormat.kicks-***.net
I though maybe it was asking this adress?
Great thanks in advance for help! I am really stuck at this steps.. :P

Hope this helps.
Definition of: host name
The logical name assigned to a computer. On the Web, most hosts are named WWW; for example, www.mycompany.com. If a site is composed of several hosts, they might be given different names such as support.mycompany.com and sales.mycompany.com. SUPPORT and SALES are the host names, MYCOMPANY the subdomain name, and COM is the top-level domain name.

Log4j - dynamic file name

Hi
I hava some servers that use log4j to log in shared folder.
i want that every server will create his own log file with his host name.
I'm using log4j.xml to configure the appender and I want to use variable to create dynamic file name.
Could it passible?
Here is my appender:
     <appender name="traceFile" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
          <param name="file" value="C:/temp/traceLog.log" />
          <param name="MaxFileSize" value="1000KB" />
          
          <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10" />
          <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
               <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %p %t %m%n" />
          </layout>
     </appender>
tnx Yaniv

And what happens to your distributed enterprise system when that shared folder is not available?
