Experience with NIO client servers

Dear Forum
I am going to build a xml socket server and would like to use NIO rather than multi threadeding.
What the server will do is accept client connections and run them on their own thread, these clients will then be able to send/recieve data in xml and also make simple queries to a mysql database.
I have developed a similar system using conventional thread methods but not with NIO, the main problem that I have is i cannot see an example where a client connects a new thread is started for that client and then its reference is stored on the server allowing messages to be sent by iterating through the client vector. Is this the same for NIO?
Any suggestions or pearls of wisdom would be great..
Thankyou..

If your application is basically multithreaded you are better off using the stream based sockets. If you insist on using NIO, I've posted information on multiple threads and NIO in Taming the NIO Circus. You biggest problems will come from the fact that interestOps and register block if a select is active. This forces you do do those all from the thread that does the select. You need to use a queue. Also NIO doesn't support SSL at present, maybe in 1.5.

Experiences with Sun T2000 servers on SAP systems

Hello,
We are currently involved in a project to migrate our SAP systems from a Windows 2003 to a Solaris 10 platform. Our application server layer will be based on Sun T2000 servers for both ABAP and Java stacks.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone using T2000s in the application server layer to understand their perception of the performance of these systems.
Thanks in advance,
Brendan Byrne

We have actually solved the issues sourrounding performance on sun multi threaded servers.
What you need to do is create a 'Zone' on the solaris server and then allocate resources to the zone.
Then sap seems to fly.
This is fully supported by the way.
Just set this up with NW7 on a T2000 and some T5120's
Basically what occurs is that you setup SAP on one zone.
You then allocate the full 64cpus to this zone, as well as the 32/64gb of ram.
SAP runs as one thread within the zone, but the zone then allocates this thread across all the cpus.
Works like a dream,
Regards

Problem using CORBA clients with RMI/EJB servers..!!!???

Hi,
I have a question on using EJB / or RMI servers with CORBA clients using
RMI-IIOP transport, which in theory should work, but in practice has few
glitches.
Basically, I have implemented a very simple server, StockTreader, which
looks up for a symbol and returns a 'Stock' object. In the first example, I
simplified the 'Stock' object to be a mere java.lang.String, so that lookup
would simply return the 'synbol'.
Then I have implemented the above, as an RMI-IIOP server (case 1) and a
CORBA server (case 2) with respective clients, and the pair of
client-servers work fine as long as they are CORBA-to-CORBA and RMI-to-RMI.
But the problem arises when I tried using the RMI server (via IIOP) with the
CORBA client, when the client tries to narrow the object ref obtained from
the naming service into the CORBA idl defined type (StockTrader) it ends up
with a class cast exception.
This is what I did to achieve the above results:
[1] Define an RMI interface StockTrader.java (extending java.rmi.Remote)
with the method,
public String lookup( String symbol) throws RMIException;
[2] Implement the StorckTrader interface (on a PortableRemoteObject derived
class, to make it IIOP compliant), and then the server to register the stock
trader with COS Naming service as follows:
String homeName =....
StockTraderImpl trader =new StockTraderImpl();
System.out.println("binding obj <" homeName ">...");
java.util.Hashtable ht =new java.util.Hashtable();
ht.put("java.naming.factory.initial", args[2]);
ht.put("java.naming.provider.url", args[3]);
Context ctx =new InitialContext(ht);
ctx.rebind(homeName, trader);
[3] Generate the RMI-IIOP skeletons for the Implementation class,
rmic -iiop stock.StockTraderImpl
[4] generate the IDL for the RMI interface,
rmic -idl stock.StockTraderImpl
[5] Generate IDL stubs for the CORBA client,
idlj -v -fclient -emitAll StockTraderImpl.idl
[6] Write the client to use the IDL-defined stock trader,
String serverName =args[0];
String symList =args[1];
StockClient client =new StockClient();
System.out.println("init orb...");
ORB orb =ORB.init(args, null);
System.out.println("resolve init name service...");
org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef
=orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService");
NamingContext naming =NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef);
... define a naming component etc...
org.omg.CORBA.Object obj =naming.resolve(...);
System.out.println("narrow objRef: " obj.getClass() ": " +obj);
StockTrader trader =StockTraderHelper.narrow(obj);
[7] Compile all the classes using Java 1.2.2
[8] start tnameserv (naming service), then the server to register the RMI
server obj
[9] Run the CORBA client, passing it the COSNaming service ref name (with
which the server obj is registered)
The CORBA client successfully finds the server obj ref in the naming
service, the operation StockTraderHelper.narrow() fails in the segment
below, with a class cast exception:
org.omg.CORBA.Object obj =naming.resolve(...);
StockTrader trader =StockTraderHelper.narrow(obj);
The <obj> returned by naming service turns out to be of the type;
class com.sun.rmi.iiop.CDRInputStream$1
This is of the same type when stock trader object is registered in a CORBA
server (as opposed to an RMI server), but works correctly with no casting
excpetions..
Any ideas / hints very welcome.
thanks in advance,
-hari

On the contrary... all that is being said is that we needed to provide clearer examples/documentation in the 5.1.0 release. There will be no difference between the product as found in the service pack and the product found in the 5.1.1. That is, the only substantive will be that 5.1.1 will also
include the examples.

With reference to your and other messages, it appears that one should not

not now. In other words, support for real-life CORBA clients is not an

We currently publish an IDL example, even though the IDL programmingmodel in Java is completely non-functional, in anticipation of the support
needs for uses who need to use IDL to talk to the Weblogic server,
generically. This example illustrates the simplest connectivity; it does not
address how
to integrate CORBA and EJB, a broad topic, fraught with peril, imo. I'llnote in passing that, to my knowledge, none of the other vendors attempt
this topic either, a point which is telling if all the less happy to hear.
For the record then, what is missing from our distribution wrt RMI-IIOPare a RMI-IIOP example, an EJB-IIOP example, an EJB-C++. In this you are
correct; better examples are forth coming.
Still, I would not call our RMI-IIOP implementation fragile. I would saythat customers have an understandably hard time accepting that the IDL
programming model is busted; busted in the sense that there are no C++
libraries to support the EJB model, and busted in the sense that there is
simply no
support in Java for an IDL interface to an EJB. Weblogic has nothing to doit being busted, although we are trying to help our customers deal with it
in productive ways.
For the moment, what there is is a RMI (over IIOP) programming model, aninherently Java to Java programming model, and true to that, we accept and
dispatch IIOP request into RMI server objects. The way I look at it is this:
it's just a protocol, like HTTP, or JRMP; it's not IDL and it has
practically nothing to do with CORBA.

Eduardo,
Can you give us more details about the comment below:

implementation. We
don't need a "HelloWorld" example, we need a concrete serious example(fully
tested and seriously documented) that works so that we can get a betteridea
on how to integrate CORBA and EJB.

Please post request to the news group...
As I said, you must separate the idl related classes (class files and
java
files) from the rmi classes... in the rmic step, you must set a newtarget
(as you did), emit the java files into that directory (it's not clearyou
did this), then remove all the rmi class files from the class path... ifyou
need to compile more classes at that point, copy the java files to theidl
directly is you must, but you can not share the types in any way.
I fear that as soon as the call to narrow succeeds, the remainingapplication will fail to work correctly because it is too difficult otuse
an idl client in java to work.

Hi Eduardo,
Thanks for the help. That is the way I compiled my CORBA client, by
separating the IDL-generated stubs from the RMI ones, but still I
get a
CORBA.BAD_PARAM upon narrowing the client proxy to the interfacetype.
Here's what I did;
+ Define the RMI interfaces, in this case a StockTrader interface.
+ Implement RMI interface by extendingjavax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject
making
it IIOP compliant
+ Implemnnt an RMI server, and compile using JDK1.2.2
+ use the RMI implementation to generate CORBA idl, using RMI-IIOPplugin
utility rmic;
rmic -idl -noValueMethods -always -d idl stock.StockTraderImpl
+ generate Java mappings to the IDL generated above, using RMI-IIOPplugin
util,
idlj -v -fclient -emitAll -tf src stocks\StockTrader.idl
This creates source for the package stock and also
org.omg.CORBA.*
package, presumably IIOP type marshalling
+ compile all classes generated above using JDK1.2.2
+ Implement client (CORBA) using the classes generated above, NOTthe
RMI
proxies.
+ start RMI server, with stockTrader server obj
+ start tnameserv
+ start CORBA client
Then the client errors when trying to narrow the obj ref from the
naming
service, into the CORBA IDL defined interface using,
org.omg.CORBA.Object obj =naming.resolve(nn);
StockTrader trader =StockTraderHelper.narrow(obj); // THIS
ERRORS..!!!
throwing a CORBA.BAD_PARAM exception.
any ideas..?

Please see the post on june 26, re Errors compiling... somewherein
there,
I suspect, you are referring to the rmi class file when you are
obliged
to
completely segregate these from the idl class files.

Working with NIO and non-NIO sockets

Hello,
Trying to write a network manager kind of program where the client initiates a number of connections to different servers. Need to manage these connections through the life time of the session ( time the client is connected to the server). The client connections originate from a single machine, the servers are geographically distributed and about 1 to 5 connections between each client and server.
I have tried and example NIO client/server application and it works fine. I have tried the KnockKnock client/server example it works. But when I try to use the NIO client with the multithreaded knockknock server, the socket connection goes through okay. However the data written to socket channel on the client(NIO) side doesn't seem to reach the server(non-NIO). I can't change the servers since they already exist in the field. I am just trying to write the manager application to manage them.
Basically I am trying to avoid writing a multithreaded socket connection management program.
Thanks for any input.

Not the greatest NIO code. The author seems unaware that closing a channel also cancels all its selection keys so he laboriously programs both operations every time he needs to close the channel. His discussion of OP_CONNECT makes little sense: the important point is that OP_CONNECT is only used in the connection phase and OP_WRITE is only used in the connected phase.
His code registers the channel for OP_WRITE as soon as the connection completes, when there is no pending data to write. This will just cause the selector to spin uselessly doing nothing. The channel should be registered with zero interest-ops and OP_WRITE should be registered when there is something to write, i.e. during the send() operation; and it should be deregistered when the write has completed successfully and there is no more data to write.

Syncing with mail client

hello
i have a xserver, where i run my mail accounts.
yesterday i bought Microsoft Outlook for Windows for 1 of my mail account users. but every time i try to setup the mail account on it, it reports an error. it reports that it doesn't understand the autharacien method the server is using. i thgought that was odd because i have set the motheds to be: kerberos, cram-md5, apop (its IMAP i´m trying to setup. and its the same settings for smtp. and my server works great in other mail clients. then i tried to also activate the method : login. in both imap and smtp. and then outlook would sync with imap. but my smtp (which had the exact same security settings would not sync with the server. now i have turned the security level up again. can this really be right, that outlook doesn't support kerberos and cram-md5????? also there was no spot like in mail you could choose method, only if it was SSL or not.

The Microsoft Office Outlook client is intended for use with Exchange Server, and (in my experience) doesn't work all that well with other mail servers.
Use the Windows Mail client or (as Windows Mail was previously known) the Outlook Express client.
If you must use the Microsoft Outlook client, I'd suggest looking for help in the Microsoft product support forums, and specifically around a connection to a generic Unix server with the Postfix and Dovecot mail services; there's nothing particularly special about the Mac OS X Server mail services here, as this is centrally about the configuration of the Office client with a mail server other than Microsoft Exchange Server.

My experience with the N97 - "my last Nokia"

Hi everyone,
I know this is a user-to-user support forum but I believe a complaint to be some sort helps users to decide whether the N97 is for them or not. Before you read on, this post will contain comparisons to competitors, so if you hate apples, feel free to ignore me! (Also I don't think users should stop harassing Nokia for what they have done to us - the more complaints the better. Igoring customers is not a very good corporate strategy. Eventually it will take them down - people buy Nokia for quality, otherwise they could buy a rip-off from ebay).
Just skimming over the posts shows me that I am not alone. So let me share my experience with Nokia and the N97. I am too tired complaining about this phone, at least I think my experience has made sure that no-one of my friends and relatives is ever going to buy a Nokia again.
When I bought the phone for then 500 pounds at the Nokia flagship store in London it seemed nice enough. Good camera, decent keyboard and features competitors could only dream of. Unfortunately, that's paperwork. For a start, the much advertised facebook application was completely disfunctional and taking into account that Nokia clearly tried to compete with the iphone (my apologies again for mentioning a competitor) frankly a lame joke. I know a firmware update has somewhat relieved the situation now, but I will come to that later.
Okay, so I have disabled the facebook application. Not a drama, surely the rest will work okay. But then after a week some of the pictures I took with the built-in camera weren't accessible anymore (broken image displayed). Again, I have another camera and I was hoping for a firmware update so I ignored it. I had now started using the joikuspot app to browse the internet on my linux box. Very nice. I started using email a lot on my phone but again was disappointed. I have a £165 ipod touch here. Without kinetic scrolling and an extremely bad UI design, by which I mean the icons and menus (ignoring the graphics flaws all the time) it is no match for the ipod, so what i did was to use joiku spot with my ipod touch. Before that firmware update the N97s browser was also still buggy so I used joikuspot for that too. I was now down to using my £500 smartphone as a wireless modem. What a shame. But I was still hoping for some kind of magic update.
Then finally, I found out about the firmware update. I had to open my phone, check the serial and visit the Nokia website. Unfortunately, the Ovi software and drivers supplied with the phone did not recognize my N97 properly. Something which I think was fixed with the firmware update (anyone seeing a circular dependency here? ) Furthermore, the built-in firmware update over 3G seemed to be disabled. So I made the journey back to the flagship store in London, explaining the problem. I was greeted by an extremly rude employee. Well, I think that's not really his fault, I guess he was just sick of all the complaints. Anyways, I told him that the 3G update was not working and he started to be really patronizing telling me that I wouldn't listen to him (he said it was "working" but "disabled"). Maybe I should have told him that I am a software engineer and that in 99.9% of the cases in which we disable a feature, the reason is that it is "not working". Anyways, he kindly allowed me to use one of their machines to update the firmware "at my own risk", which worked. At no point I have received an apology for the fact that I have paid Nokia £500 to beta-test their products.
Now of course, the firmware update has succeeded, but is all fine? Far from it.... As many report on this forum the N97s battery meter is faulty. Countless times, my phone has just literally died overnight. It even forgets time and date! This is more than bad - every phone I have had so far complained about a draining battery well in advance. I had to dig out my old phone to serve as an alarm clock again - the fact that the alarm clock itself is unreliable is a alltogether different matter... One time the battery died during the day - after doing nothing for 4 hours in my sports bag (started with 1 bar down). When I had to make a call that day, for the first time in I don't know how many years I had to use a telephone box. Progress?!
The firmware update has also barely improved the email client - just a few ui glitches solved. However, the biggest issue at the moment seems to be the weird memory organization. When I buy a phone I don't want to deal with something like the c drive problem. Reinstalling applications on the 32gb partition helps somewhat but why didn't Nokia do that in the first place? Has this phone never been tested?The phone is still way too slow.
I can't comment on the iplayer app - says it needs wlan to work. But the youtube player has crashed every time i used it. And by crashing I mean it took down the whole phone with it. I admit that my ipod crashed a few times too - in just under a year (~3 times). But the reset was straightforward every time. With the N97, the only thing that seems to help is to take the battery out!
Before I forget, the N97 doesn't even work as a phone. In a 30 minute conversation, the call got dropped 4 times. I don't know whether it was because of a calibration issue with the proximity sensor or a more serious problem, all I know is that this is unacceptable!
I am sick of the phone and Nokia's service. The joikuspot app ran out and asks me to pay... I have paid £500 pounds for the bloody phone already. The adobe reader asks me to pay... (somehow it ran out without me even using it). Maybe you see why I am getting angry now - the only use case that actually put the N97 on top of my old phone was gone. What infuriated me even more, is that Nokia bundles this software with the phone. It cannot actually be deinstalled! It just sits there merrily and takes up my hard drive space.
Last but not least, I have written to Nokia already, but not received a response! This is a Nokia forum with Nokia employees following the posts. I would be very, very, very grateful if Nokia could give me a refund. However, with them not even acknowledging the various problems I somehow don't see that coming. I'll probably have to sell it with a massive loss on ebay.
Cheers,
Will
P.s.: I have all the same small issues as the other guys here - slider lock at the side not working etc. You are not alone... Has anyone complained about the music player? I have 16gb of music on the phone and scrolling is impossible! The Symbian OS is so obviously not built for a touch screen that it hurts. Of course they don't put much music on the phones in the Nokia store so people only find out when they get home...

hi ! the nokia n97 is a really an amazing device. It keeps up to the promise of live online 24 x 7. I discovered it and wanted to share. Still there are some unanswered questions and if any vetran could help would really appreciate.
i am an user from India. and have the n97 for about 3-4 weeks now. Practically I have been living online 24 x 7 as The list of unexpected issues that a nokia n97 offers seems unending, some of which i am narrating have made me scout on the web to try n search answers.Not that i will be able to action information you provide instantly. My new phone has gone for reparis(sic), so once its back can do that & will acknowledge your replies.
My Quests:
1. First things first! How to request for & get refunds for a Nokia Phone in India.
2. Is there a touch querty as an input method? like windows mobile ? Request Know How. I now seem to agree to the feedback on one of the blogs.. that nokia designers feel that the average size of user hands would be that of big people & fingers like a japaneese teen. The physical keyboard does not seem to offer any additional functions other than text input !
3. Predictive text where in the touch screen menu, the words dont get auto completed. This increases the number of taps/input strokes. Is the n97 intelligent & learn words from sms, contacts, emails. my blackberry does so. Request Know How & any options to edit custom dictionary. Auto Punctuation ? Am i expecting too much already ?
4. Single hand use of phone impractical using touch pad t9. Entering alphanumerics on the physical querty is a nightmare... Request Know how on tips & tricks.
5. Green tick yes or v button on top left of the text input screen. friendly again only for big handed people. Could this have been at bottom right. Is alternate screen for text input touch t9 available? Requested Know how.
6. Unnecessary taps additional taps alomost in all menus...for eg.. sending a biz card from n97 requires 5 taps... in the other mobile phone systems it can be done in 3 taps. Requested Knowhow for shortcuts.
7. Can In a nokia we get a view of the entire events as single thread.... No Provision for search display against keywords upon I can get call logs, messages - Here in Nokia, no search filters / advanced search and all searches results plotted to applications vs person/events. Requested Know How if it can be done like blackberry / windows mobile.
8. Copy & Paste across applications. eg. Select text from web page copy n paste on message application.... possible on Nokia...? Requested Know How
9. Call& Event Logs e.g Missed calls. If there are 5 missed calls the log will show the last called time only. In most other mobile systems Blackberry, windows each event is logged against a user. Requested know how on how this is handled in Nokia.
10. Lag in picture display upon call. Number displays first and after few seconds lag the pic pops up. Is this normal & acceptable ? Other windows / rim devices show it instantly.
11. When will Nokia enable usage of Native clients like google talk, yahoo like blackberry, iphone ? Any know how on possibility of release. Any equal alternatives suggested for n97. Tried Nimbuzz, Fring, Ebuddy. Miss the chat message notification icon on home screen, notification on the chat messaging icon, sound, breathing lights.
12. Is there any planning for better email client? Likely Release dates?
13. The Java App for GMAIL on blackberry shows an indicator on icon in addition to customised alert setting tone & breathing light for new messages. Retreiving Emails is consistent & auto on other devices. The Nokia Does not seem to auto refresh + No Notification. How is it handled on Nokia ?
14. Can user friendliness be something where we can do actions with a contact or on contacts screen single view... e.g see contact on google map, Help on contacts screen/n97 help, lookup contact on server, filter by category. new address, new group, view, edit, delete, activity log (incl sms, mms, email, calls), call, sms, mms, email, send as attachment, send as im, add a custom ring tone, add picture, options - sort by, separators, sync settings, actions, switch
applications, exit. We have seen it on inexpensive phones. is it possible to be done on Nokia?
SOME OF MY STILL UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS Post upgrade to ver 12. Did you also face similar bugs/issues?
15. Contacts inaccessible – “Memory Full Error”. No other applications were active at the time of the error. Just unable to reach any of my 3500 contacts through the contacts options & do anything.
16. Pbk2 error upon selecting contacts in the messaging application.
17. Audio Delay upon receiving a call. No Sound upon connection of incoming call. Especially if picked up too fast.
18. Shows as searching for network constantly many times a day. We have 2 n97s & observed that both n97 almost have similar timing of network loss. Whereas, our other devices like blackberry do not show any weak signal signs.
19. GPS Lock. Keeps searching for GPS locks constantly i.e Drops connection to GPS network frequently.
20. Unpredictive battery talk time, standby & required Charge time.
21. Voice inaudible at other end, when using loudspeaker & especially during calls from moving vehicle.
22. Camera:
a. Picture clarity issues. Secondary camera highly pixelated. Primary camera shows light flooding on pictures. Clarity Missing.
b. Erroneous Time stamp on images.
c.Lens Cover Started to show minor scratch pressure.
23. Ovi Suite recommends erroneous updates for E.g Maps 3
24. Text Input touch t9 screen freezes / Hangs, especially when entering special characters like period(.), comma(,), exclamation (!) etc
25. Selectively & at random contact Name not displayed on Caller ID (sometimes)
26. Selectively Message & Message delivery display number, instead of stored contact names.
27. Sync Issue, All contacts not synced always.

30. SMS Logs Not updated. e.g any sms sent before storing a contact.... after storing or adding
contact the number does not get automatically updated to the name. It reflects the number still in the logs.
31. Picture caller... The face is half cut ..Looks weird on most images... as the number is not transparent. In landscape mode there is enough space on the screen to put up the answer or reject buttons and displaying the numbers.

thanks in advance for your time to stop & read. Pls do send any information that you think will be useful to me for making the n97 do some work.
NEW additions:
(tested on another n97)
33. Predictive Text :
Usage for auto word completion only on physical keyboard, when the Dpad down key is used it throws up options but the way the scroll is designed you can see the full word and one makes mistakes.
34. another strange behaviour is on the text input... this was on an email i was trying to reply. the stylus touch will paste the last keyed in word !! we wonder why.
35. and while showing off the second n97 we have (again 3-4 weeks old) - we were asked how much did we pay for this second hand unit - 50% off .. apparently the comment as the surface has got scratched very badly.
i hope the info is good use to others who want to take the risk of buying this device

Unable to install security updates via WSUS on Windows 2008 client servers

When I try install to install updates on Windows 2008 client servers I get the error : Code 80244019 Windows Update encountered an unknown error
After running the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool I get the result : GetFileVersion(szEngineDir,&susVersion) failed with hr=0x80070002 The system cannot find the file specified.
On a Windows 2003 server the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool shows no error message. So I guess the problem seems to be specificly related to Windows 2008 servers.
The client server has been integrated into a WSUS console version 3.2.7600.226 runnning on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2.
Thanks in advance for the help in resolving this issue.

When I try install to install updates on Windows 2008 client servers I get the error : Code 80244019 Windows Update encountered an unknown error
The 0x80244019 error is an HTTP 404 error and when encountered trying to "install updates", which really occurs when trying to
download the update files so that the updates can be installed, is almost always a function of the desired file having been manually deleted from the WSUS server. The file that should be there for the needed update, isn't, but it used to be.
If all of the clients are getting this error on all updates, then that's a function of the content store on the WSUS server being missing, in the wrong place, or configured with the wrong ACLs.
After running the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool I get the result : GetFileVersion(szEngineDir,&susVersion) failed with hr=0x80070002
This result is inconclusive, and not really relevant. The CDT is 32-bit only and can't be used on 64-bit systems. Plus, we already know the client is talking to the WSUS server -- you've reported the error code -- so the Client Diagnostic Tool will
tell us nothing of use at this point (even if it did work on 64-bit systems).
On a Windows 2003 server the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool shows no error message.
Cool. It works on a 32-bit system.
So I guess the problem seems to be specificly related to Windows 2008 servers.
No... BUT... allow me to make an example of this for just a moment, and forgive me for that.
This is a great example of arriving at the wrong conclusion, caused by not considering ALL of the differences, as well as the scope and capability of the diagnostics performed. The error is not because one is '2003' and the other '2008; the error is because
one is 'x86' and the other is (obviously) 'x64'. And, in either case, diagnosing the client was wasted effort because the client is already working. (It got a real HTTP error message from the WSUS server.)
Now, we need to get some real diagnostic information to find out why you're getting this error code. :-)
Please post the actual entries from the WindowsUpdate.log where this error code appears, plus a hundred lines prior, and let's get some context around the error code, and the exact update that's involved in this issue.

Problem with Updating clients with UNIX command

Hi.
Until this day, I used to update all our 50 client macs by manually logging in as administrator via ARD and choosing Software Update from the apple menu, this works always and I use our own servers SUS so the downloading is really fast. Still, this clearly is time consuming and annoying when you have this many clients. I have now done some search and I know I could do this by sending unix command to clients using ARD. First I had problems with running the command, then I noticed I need to run this as root. Then it "works".
Works, not quite. It starts to run, and I can see all the output. I have tried this with few clients and the results are confusing. The following is an output from one client I send the command "softwareupdate -i -r"

Registering updated components…
And thats it, it stops there. Few clients completed the task, but the output says that they skipped the installation of all updates. In the case above, there is some skipping too, and I don't know what it means. Yesterday I left one client to this part where its Registering updated components.... , and today when I came in, it's still there, and the task is still running. When I update the clients with the Software Update from apple menu, it takes usually 10 minutes max to complete the whole process, download and install. After I restarted the same client and ran the manual Software Update from apple menu, it shows the same updates, it didn't do anything???
Am I doing something wrong with the command?

I am having the same issue. I send the unix command to some test clients to install all updates. The process never finishes and stays at "Registering updated companents....". (See screen shot)
I have manually restarted some of the clients after waiting a very long time. All updates seem to have been installed. I am wondering why the task hangs at this point. I want to be able to ran ASU with this Unix method on the 450+ macs that I manage at work, but it scares me that the task never seems to finish.

Anyone got experience with Filemaker and Mac OSX v10.4 on a G5

I am in the transition period from PPC to Intel, and installation of Aperture. My main box is an Apple G5 DP running OSX 10.3.9 and I have the upgrade software to go to OS 10.4+ but have not yet installed it. I also have a recent Intel MacBook Pro running 10.4.9.
Problem I'm experiencing is not unusual. If I run the current OS I cant run Aperture in the G5. If I upgrade the OS I suspect I will 'leave behind' some of the other software I rely on.
My query is about one main piece of software I use - Filemaker Pro 5.5 which runs a database I created handling my analog image collection, client info, deliveries and invoices, accounts etc. It works cleanly and quickly and allows great flexiblity in preparing material for output.
I downloaded the trial of Filemaker Pro 9 and it didn't like my old database when I tried to import it into the Intel laptop, and many functions seemed to have gone awol in the conversion to the newer software.
I cant experiment with this in the G5 as Filemaker is a key management tool in my work and any complications I need to overcome will impact seriously on my work.
So my question is - anyone got any experience with Filemaker in G5's - if I go to OSX10.4 upwards on this non-Intel machine will Filemaker V5.5 still run? And if not, are there any ways around this - eg using Classic environment?

*"I go to OSX10.4 upwards on this non-Intel machine will Filemaker V5.5 still run?"*
Yes

OS X 10.10.1 Apple Mail reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers

Apple Mail(8.1) reliability issue with Virgin Mail Servers on my iMac and Laptop Pro with the new Yosemite update! Spent 1.5hrs with the virgin team (thought we solved it by changing from Auto to one minute update) only to find on return I still have an issue with Mail! On the iMac the account opens and I see all the mail arriving. When I switch over and the back, days of recent mail have disappeared?
If I search for one I saw, It is found?
On the Laptop Pro, its similar, but it also has a problem remembering the outgoing port no matter how often I save it keeps going back to port 143 and this makes the send fail each time?
Will I have to move to another mail client or is their a fix coming?

The last version of Mail for Tiger is v2.1.3 & there won't be any updates/upgrades.
You might try the freeware mail app Thunderbird. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ It's newer than Mail for Tiger.

MY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH CHAT AND VISION

In my personal e-mail I received publicity inviting me to purchase a Skype credit gift card. I thought it was a nice offer and I happened to have a friend that had the need and could use such a gift. I procedeed to purchase a $10 dollar gift card, I did the transaction from Colombia and sent it to my friend in the US. Shortly after the purchase I received a message warning me that my order was being under security scrutiny. I found it unexpected and unjustified (Is my $10 dollar order a security risk of some sort?), but I thought that maybe it was because it was an international order, and I understand the need for security in online transactions, so I decided to not worry, trusting in the spotless service that I have had from Skype up to that point. At that moment I noticed that the one providing the service was no Skype but Chat And Vision (whose website, by the way, looks far less friendly than Skype's).
Then I received an Email telling me that the order has been rejected. No justification, no explanation. Just a politely worded but most unhelpful and uninformative e-mail. It made a point of telling me that they didn't retain the payment, yet my card was charged and no refund has been made so far. I replied the e-mail asking for a reason, and how to get a refund. I received the automated reply telling me that somebody would contact me the next day. It's been a day and no reply so far.
Searching online I found mine was only one in a long list of blunders and poor service from Chat And Vision. The complains on forums and online outnumber the claims of good service. Mine is a very small case compared to other complains I have read about. It was a small purchase for a smal amount, but it turned into an unexpectedly unpleasant experience for something that should have been a simple purchase ( Am I really such a security risk that I can't be allowed to place an order for a gift card?)
In the end I feel that I was snared into a trap with that offer. I trusted, I paid, didn't receive the goods, haven't yet received the refund, my friend really needed that gift and had to do without, which caused him inconvenience, my high regard from Skype has been tarnished, and I'll hesitate to make new purchases of Skype services in the future, if they keep being powered by Chat And Vision.

Some updates: I received two e-mails from Chat And Vision, regarding my two questions as to why my order was rejected and how to get my money back. These are the answers:
The first one (Ticket ID: PBF-650-80186), says: "Thank you for your email. Firstly, apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused to you. Unfortunately, due to security reasons I am unable to divulge this information. However, should you wish to make another purchase with us again, we will try to process your new order instead".
Polite but uninformative. Notice that beyond an unfocused general apology it does not acknowledge any problem nor does pledge any improvement, just a vague statement that they may allow me to use it's service again if I choose to try (not exactly reasuring).
A second answer to a second e-mail says: (Ticket ID: SVN-701-71147) "Thank you for your email, please be assured the money will be refunded back to you."
That's all. Again polite but no useful information, just a vague assurance of refund, somehow, someday into the indefinite future. If it happens I'll post it here but I'm not holding my breath.
Reading other answers from Chat and Vision posted online here and on other forums dealing with their service, there appears to be a pattern of politeness, vageness, refusal to acknowledge problems and absence of a pledge to improve. Their costumer care seems designed to placate the user without promising to get better, and is so devoid of helpul attitude that it makes me believe that their messages are redacted by a software program, and consumer complains never reach any administrative person. I might be wrong but the doubt has been sown which is a shame. Up until now I was very vocal on my praise for skype, recomending it to family and friends as a very useful and good service, but this experience with Chat and Vision, and my discovery of their costumer service history online, has set me thinking about looking for alternatives to Skype, and certainly has dissuaded me to recomend Skype to anyone ever again,or at least while their sales are still managed by Chat And Vision, or at least while Chat and Vision continues its customer service attitude, polite on the surface but haughty and unhelpful underneath.
If there are new updates I might post them here, but for now I will not pursue the matter further since the amount involved was small and I see no point in sending more e-mails to Chat and Vision. I just feel bitter that the great service that I felt was Skype has ben tarnished by this experience. Just some final thoughts:
I do not complain that my order was scrutinized by security reasons, I understand the risk of illegal activity on online transactions, and the need of online companies to be careful, but the process Chat and Vision used seemed overly unconcerned for the confort of the consumer. It took around a full day for my order to be scrutinized and then rejected, which did let me for a long time in the dark not knowing if my gift would reach the friend I wanted to give it to. This is 2014, does Chat and Vision not have the tecnology to do a better and faster process? Do they scrutinize online orders by hand? I have read more cases similar to mine here on this forum, which to me implies that Chat and Vision are overly and unnecessary zealous on their security procesess. ( Also it is jarring that they seem to consider their clients to be criminals, for no reason at all and with no opportunity to contest the charge.)
If they are going to reject a transaction on security reasons, why not do it before the payment is processed, not after, which can be stressful to the consumer that gave the money and didn't receive what was advertised, for no real reason. Seems to me there is a mistake in the way the system is set, or there is a clear disdain of what the client might think or feel.
I think that's all. Thank you if you went all the way thru this overly long rant. If you are a consummer beware that when you buy services from Skype, you are not buying from Skype but from somebody else and that somebody else does not have a spotless record. If you are an administrative person from Skype or Chat and vision, I hope you eventually prove me wrong about your unconcern for the welfare of the consumer. My experience so far is not encouraging but that may change.
Have a good one.

Request for Comments and Experiences with Streams Advanced Queuing

Hi,
I would like to get some feedback about what your experiences with Streams Advanced Queuing. What do you like about it? What don't you like? How do you use it? What features would you love to see in it? Please post to the forums. Thanks!

I love the new homeless Instant Client! I wish we had it years ago. Some comments:
1) The MS ODBC administrator GPF's (blows up) when trying to configure a new data source using the new Oracle IC drivers. Have to hand-edit the registry.
2) I heartily agree with the request that the new client install without requiring the normal Oracle installer. It's just too bloated for easy deployment. I'd rather hand install the files than to have to use that. Also, .zip not .jar please.
3) Need better documentation on the connection string options. It took me 3 weeks to figure out that what used to be scott/tiger@mydb is now scott/[email protected]:1524/mydb.xxx.yyy (it's looking for the GLOBAL_NAME, not the SID and TNSPING won't show you that! Doh!)
4) Please let us specify a range of ports (e.g. :1521-1524) and let it figure out where the SID is on that machine. We move ours around and don't want to update hundreds of clients with hardcoded command lines.
5) Maximum backward compatibility, please! It's not easy moving all those Oracle apps to 8.1.7.4+ databases, yet, but my old OCI client programs should not have to care. I don't want to have 2 SQL*net driver stacks on my PC's.
Thanks -- I'll be watching for new features.

Problem making modified WCF web service operation compatible with old client

Hi,
I am trying to make a modified version of a a WCF web service work with old clients. The method signature looks like:
[OperationContract]
itemList GetItemList(getItemList param);
I am adding elements to the "getItemList" class which should be optional. The class is generated from XSD schema with xsd.exe (this means we are using schema-first design). The new element is:
<element name="itemOwner" type="string" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0">      </element>
and the new generated code in the getItemList class becomes:
private string itemOwnerField;
public string itemOwner
get {return this.itemOwnerField;}
set {this.itemOwnerField = value; }
When I look at the new WSDL it has:
<xs:element name="itemOwnerField" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
Now I was expecting the old client to still be able to call the new client, since the new field is nillable. The client has a service reference to the old version of the web service so it uses a C# stub. When the old client tries to invoke the new service,
I get error:
The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message: There was an error while trying to deserialize parameter http://tempuri.org/:param. The InnerException message was 'Error in line 1 position 754. 'Element' 'itemIDField' from namespace
'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/ServerBaseAPI' is not expected. Expecting element 'itemOwnerField'.'. Please see InnerException for more details.
My interpretation is that the server side of the new service cannot deserialize the incoming message since it expects it to contain itemOwnerField. Why it that, when it is nillable according to the WSDL? What can I do to solve or work around the problem?

Hi gaor.mawell,
The nillable attribute is a special attribute in the XML Schema instance namespace that provides an interoperable way to explicitly represent a null value. The receiving end can interpret these as
null, zero, and null, respectively. There is no guarantee that a third-party deserializer can make the correct interpretation, which is why this pattern is not recommended. The
DataContractSerializer class always selects the correct interpretation for missing values. So have you tried to use the DataMember's
IsRequired property? this
DataMember's
IsRequired property tells the serialization engine whether the value of itemOwnerField must be presented in the underlying XML.
For more information, please try to refer to the this artcle:

Re: experiences with printing using Word/DDE sought

DDE is not that reliable. Try using OLE. We are using OLE to talk to
Lotus Word and its working out OK.

Subject: experiences with printing using Word/DDE sought
Hi Forte Users,
We are trying to merge and print forms using FORTE-DDE- Ms Word connectivity
and would like to know if any of you have had any experience in doing this. We
will be printing both from the client as well as from a batch operation.
What we essentially want to be doing is to be able to return a status from
Word to FORTE if any operation failed within MS Word, such as printer not
online, paper jam or out-of-paper, etc. Any other experiences or
problem/pitfalls would be appreciated as well.
Thanks for the Help,

The CP1525 does allow you to print envelopes.There are two trays that can be used. I will describe only using the lower tray. Normally this tray is used for standard paper. To use it for letter envelopes, you need to pull out the tray and then make some changes. Take out all of the paper. There are blue-colored paper supporters. Two are used for the width of regular papers. Slide it toward the center so that it will handle the envelope with the top toward the left side. Put the envelope in with the printable side up and the top towards the left side. Slide the blue paper holders so they touch the top and bottom. Then push the envelope all the way toward the back and then move the single blue paper holder at the front so that it is against the envelope. You are ready to print as far as the printer.
I have to select properties for the printer. I indicate that I am printing an envelope. I also had to indicate landscape. I also had to move the print areas to fit where I want them to be. Then I added my address and the address to where they are going. I am not sure that I got everything but this should work well.
I did not do this, but you can use both trays with one that holds a number of pages and the other for a number of envelopes.
