Hi friends,
Can any body tell me how to this.when ever we give a print a spool number will be created.we can give this spool number to rstxpdft4 program and we can convert it into pdf.
how to put this pdf into application layer as a unix file.is it possible to do that.

Handling Oracle RAC Failover at the application layer

Hi All,
I am currently researching best practices for handling oracle RAC failover at the application layer since transactional statements (INSERT,UPDATE and DELETE) are not handled transparently. So I have few questions for the community:
1. In case of a node failure would I need to roll back all of transactional statements that are part of the transaction or would I have to re-execute the one that failed only?
2. Does things change with XA 2 phase commit transactions?
Any input and/or architecture suggestions would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Dmitriy Frolov

Hi,
the Oracle RAC stack works very vell on its own, without the need of a third party clusterware. It will be aware of failures on the nodes.
Database will be using ASM or RAW or NFS devices for Shared storage.
Oracle Clusterware can also be configured to monitor your applications and to a failover to other nodes.
However if you need a shared filesystem for your own applications, then you will have to use QFS or similar (which again than requires Sun Cluster).
See: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/clusterware/index.html

Adding APEX as Application Layer on my Current Application

Hi All
I'm starting to explore APEX as a development platform. I have an application using packages and tables for the business logic.
Currently it was working within EBS using forms.
I now want to move this to APEX basically changing the application layer from forms to APEX.
The packages work for all the Creation, Updating and Deleting. There are also views.
From what I have been playing around with I am looking at this approach and would like input as to if its viable.
I need a report that behaves like a form. This will be based on a view to bring data.
From this report form the user will be able to update the data and if he want to insert it should open a new line.
All the validation I want the package to do as well as the inserting and updating.
So is there a best way of doing this and also does anyone have any suggestions as to how.
Would I create a blank page and build it from the ground up for each form or maybe start with either a form or report page and then customize it.
Thanks
Hilton

Hi Hilton,
you can use tabular forms for this:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/bldapp_frm.htm#BCEECEFA
If you want for all to be cleaner in APEX, you can create instead of trigger over your view that uses your package API for DML.

Controlling Application Layer Firewall from Command Line Not Working

We are trying to manage the OS X Application Layer Firewall for Mountain Lion from the command-line. We have several hundred Macs that we need to manage and it isn't possible to have someone log in to each one to modify settings. We have used socketfilterfw in the past, and can still use it to add items but we can't seem to manage it at all. We are also having issues trying to remove certain items although it appears we can still add items.
When we try to block or unblock the feedback we get is that the item has been configured however when we do a list the item attributes haven't changed.
When we try to verify if the item has been signed we get an error Killed: 9
When we try to sign an item we get the same error, Killed: 9
With one item specifically, when we try to remove it we get a Segmentation Fault 11 although we can add that same item just fine.
It should be noted that doing all of this through the GUI works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to manage the firewall from te command-line that works? Has socketfilterfw been depricated and replaced by something else? Is this just a bug? I am placing the same information in a bugreport but just wanted to check with the co

It's a known issue that apparently hasn't been fixed. Not a high priority for Apple Engineering, it seems.

Application layer security

hi
i m doing my project based upon APPLICATION LAYER SECURITY. however i dont hav enough knowledge boou it.Can anyone guide me how to go about this.

What do you mean by Application Layer Security?

Abt application layer

in sap R/3 wich one of these allocates the resources in application layer?
1.work process
2.dynpro manager
3.dispatcher
4.roll area

Hi,
Dispatcher allocates work processes to get the work done. There are different types of work processes like Dialog, Background, Spool, Enqueue etc... So, depending upon the requirement, dispatcher allocates a free work process.

Check application layer

hi friends i want checking packets when sending over my network but i want checking in the application layer my purpose that i want checking and know which protocol opened in application layer like http or smtp....etc?when i using raw socket
and ip protocoltype
thank you for your help

Hi zryan,
Your question is not clear enough.
If you want to use create client for transporting HTTP or SMTP messages, you can utilize these built-in classes in .Net Framework:
WebClient,
HttpWebRequest Class
SmtpClient Class
If you mean you want to intercept the network messages using C# code, please note the topic in this thread:
Contributors: How to avoid aiding
the development of malicious code
.Net Framework doesn't contain built-in objects for you to automatically detect the protocol of the network message.

Application Layer VPN

Apple states that OSX Mavericks has a new "Application Layer VPN" feature. Is this something that can be configured by users? For example, can I set up a VPN only for Safari?

The VPN-IPSec is a technology that let you access to your private network through Internet or an unsecured network. It works at network layer. Before you access to your private network you have to set up a tunnel IPSec.
Regarding SSL there is an interesting link : SSL: Introduction to Secure Sockets Layer
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns340/ns394/ns50/ns140/networking_solutions_white_paper09186a0080136858.shtml
With SSL you have secure access to a WEB server (which can be located on Internet) without setting up a tunnel VPN.
I hope this helps.

Application layer inspection and MPF

Why create other policy map when only once policy map can be used on any interfaces? Why not just use the default policy and add to it? I am trying to understand the application layer inspection and the MPF.

Hi,
The default policy will not give you many options due to the "match default-inspection-traffic" in the default class map.
At the end of it the number of policy maps or usuage or default policy map with additions really depends on user and his/her requirement.

Application layer

Is there any function module to get the name of the directory when we pass Logical path.
I ll describe..........in T code : FILE
       -> we give Logical FIle path Defination as ZYINTERFACE(for eg)
       -> then assign physical path to logical paths
        -> in this step we give Logical path : ZYInterface(for eg)
                                         Syntax Grp : unix
                                         Physical path : /usr/sap/tmp/<FILENAME>
in this case if i pass 'Zyinterface' in this case i want the output as '/usr/sap/tmp/'.
Can u please name the function module to get this and also sample code if possible ?
Thanks in Advance..........

hi reddy,
using AL11 u can view the directories in appl layer, using cg3z u can travsfer file from presentation to application layer.

Is this possible Same client diffrent application layer

Hi experts ;
I have a question. We use Sap; diffrent companys same client. Can we work companys data layers same and applications and programs diffrent layer. Is this possible ?
Regards
İrfan.

>We use Sap; diffrent companys same client.
Peep - thanks for playing
Using the same client for different companies is a very bad idea.
> Can we work companys data layers same and applications and programs diffrent layer. Is this possible ?
Yes, use different clients. That's what they are used for.
Or do you want to have both companies to share their data but use different programs on it?
That would be a even more questionable request...

IPS and application layer firewalls

Hi all, can anyone explain to me what an IPS does that a layer 7 application firewall does not, i need to know the biggest differences?
also what can an IPS do for me in simple terms?

Hi Carl,
AN IPS is basically deep packet inspection for all protocols generally found on a network. So, for example an IPS is looking for all malicious traffic that relates to an attack, usually by a specific 'signature' or a pattern of traffic. They go over an above a firewall by fully inspecting all traffic flows and alerting on suspect traffic that represents a possible attack/vulnerability.
With respect to an Application Firewall, this could relate to two different things. For example, the ASA has application inspection which basically means it can drill down into the protocol and check that HTTP request/response headers are RFC compliant, as well as FTP etc. We can also drill down and ensure that SMTP exchanges are as they should be. But if there is data embedded into the actual 'payload' then the ASA is not designed to check for this. That would be an IPS.
There is however a 'Web Application Firewall' or WAF which takes this even further (ACE WAF) as this is specifically looking for attacks and vulnerabilities relating purely to Web Applications. So the 'WAF' learns the web application/login forms/Parameters etc and therefore can stop attacks such as Cross Site Scripting and SQL Injection.
It depends on the environment and what you are exactly trying to secure :-)
I hope this helps!
Thanks
Andy

Need Help to Prevent DDOS at application layer to protect Web server ?

Please guide the solutions for DDOS attack. I am facing this attack and after some investigation I found some details what is up against me
Here are some details of the attack which is most similar in my situation.
In considering the ramifications of a slow denial of service attack against particular services, rather than flooding networks, a concept emerged that would allow a single machine to take down another machine's web server with minimal bandwidth and side effects on unrelated services and ports. The ideal situation for many denial of service attacks is where all other services remain intact but the webserver itself is completely inaccessible. Slowloris was born from this concept, and is therefore relatively very stealthy compared to most flooding tools.
Slowloris holds connections open by sending partial HTTP requests. It continues to send subsequent headers at regular intervals to keep the sockets from closing. In this way webservers can be quickly tied up. In particular, servers that have threading will tend to be vulnerable, by virtue of the fact that they attempt to limit the amount of threading they'll allow. Slowloris must wait for all the sockets to become available before it's successful at consuming them, so if it's a high traffic website, it may take a while for the site to free up it's sockets. So while you may be unable to see the website from your vantage point, others may still be able to see it until all sockets are freed by them and consumed by Slowloris. This is because other users of the system must finish their requests before the sockets become available for Slowloris to consume. If others re-initiate their connections in that brief time-period they'll still be able to see the site. So it's a bit of a race condition, but one that Slowloris will eventually always win - and sooner than later.
Slowloris also has a few stealth features built into it. Firstly, it can be changed to send different host headers, if your target is a virtual host and logs are stored seperately per virtual host. But most importantly, while the attack is underway, the log file won't be written until the request is completed. So you can keep a server down for minutes at a time without a single log file entry showing up to warn someone who might watching in that instant. Of course once your attack stops or once the session gets shut down there will be several hundred 400 errors in the web server logs. That's unavoidable as Slowloris sits today, although it may be possible to turn them into 200 OK messages instead by completing a valid request, but Slowloris doesn't yet do that.
Please suggest any solutions with product that can help to prevent this problem with some guidance of the feature of that product to specifically prevent this type of attack. I already a many cisco devices like ASA, IPS, Cisco guard etc. just need some guidance
An early response requested and it will be highly appreciated.

Hello Haseen
Any tool will have some sort of trend/chracterstic that can be used to filter or throttle it out. Take skype for an example; even with all its complexity vendors managed to find days to detect it on the network and take corrective actions. However its always a catch-up game, developers continually work to make their applications or protocols more stealthy and the vendors have to keep up with this challenge.
So you would need to understand this trend/chracterstic of the attack, and then filter out using an access control mechanism, IMHO the most appropriate would be a web application firewall (WAF), Cisco used to have one but I think it is EOS soon:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9586/index.html
F5 Networks have their ASM module:
http://www.f5.com/products/big-ip/application-security-manager.html
Other vendors also have some good tools.
Please rate if you find the applications helpful.
