File Servers in Multiple locations

HI All,
We have seven sites and each location have the Windows 2003 File Servers, Tape drive and offsite Backup service.
So what is the best practice to reduce the cost and give better solutions to users.
Also need to backup and easy to maintain. Total Data across sites are 5 TB
As
Virtualize workload on your ROBO locations and run file server within a VM. Use free VEEAM to backup it. And use free built-in Hyper-V Replica to move data ROBO -> primary data center. Use tape vaulting on a single location (primary site).
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

Roaming profile in multiple servers and multiple locations

I am planning to keep our roaming profile in Primary Domain Controller and when it fails it has to get the profile from Child Domain Controller. The child dc can be in the same location or in any branch location.
Could I have the configuration steps?
I am using 2008 server r2.
Thank you.
Firozali.

Hi Firozali,
>>I am planning to keep our roaming profile in Primary Domain Controller and when it fails it has to get the profile from Child Domain Controller
As far as I know, we can change the storage location of roaming user profiles from one server to another server. However, we can’t automatically failover the storage location
of roaming user profiles.
Regarding how to configure roaming user profiles, the following article can be referred to for more information.

How to upload multiple files into a server location at a single time

Hi All,
In my application i need to send multiple files from a particular page into the server location. In this page there will be an option to upload a file and after selecting the file , we will have an option asking if we were interested to send another file. It works just similar to google mail where we can multiple files at the same time. Right now though i had coded the uploading files concept i am facing some problems when trying to upload multiple files. All the files are being appended to a single file but i want them to be placed as different files at the specified location. Plz help me in this regard...
Thanks in advance................,,

Hi,
i am sending the code in my prg. Have a look at it.
var multi_selector = new MultiSelector( document.getElementById( 'files_list' ),3);
In the above line i am specyfying that the maximum no. of files to be uploaded is 3. So if i upload less than 3 files, the program doesn't work and is not reading the uploaded files. If i upload 3 files it works fine. So please suggest me how to make this work irrespective of the no. of files uploaded using apache commons.
My code is as follows:
<form action="./servlet/Sample" method = "post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     
     <input id="my_file_element" type="file" name="file_1" >
     <input type="submit" name="submit1" value="submit">
</form>
Files:

<div id="files_list"></div>
<script>
     
     var multi_selector = new MultiSelector( document.getElementById( 'files_list' ),3);
     
     multi_selector.addElement( document.getElementById( 'my_file_element' ) );
</script>

Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations

Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations
Part one:-
Gather information from desktop to get brand names and week numbers from the folders
Excluding folders on desktop beginning with "2" or "Hot"
Not sure about the list of folders
but I have got this bit to work with
set folderPath to "Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Desktop:DIVA_WK30_PSD" --<<this would be gained from the items on the desktop
set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, ":"}
set folderName to last text item of folderPath
set my text item delimiters to "_WK"
set FolderEndName to last text item of folderName
set brandName to first text item of folderName
set my text item delimiters to "_PSD"
set weekNumber to first text item of FolderEndName
set my text item delimiters to oldTID
After running this I have enough information to create folders in multiple locations, (i need to know where they are so that photoshop can later save them in those multiple locations
So I need the following folders created
Locally
Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber
Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName
Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR" --(Set path for Later)PathA
Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR"--(Set path for Later)PathB
Network
Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber
Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR" --(Set path for Later)PathC
Volumes:GEN:Website_Images --(no need to create folder just set path)PathD
FTP (Still as a normal Volume) So like another Network
Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber
Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand
Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR" --(Set path for Later)PathE
Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR" --(Set path for Later)PathF
I like to think that is end of Part 1
Part 2
Take the images (PSD's) from those folders relevant to the Brand then possibly run more applescript that opens flattens and then saves it in the locations above.
For example….
An image in folder DIVA_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it DivaProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:DIVA_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
Then from the next folder
An image in folder Free_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it FreeProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:Free_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
The photoshop applescript i'm hoping will be easier as it should be a clearer step by step process without any if's and but's
Now for the coffee!!

Now to the other part, where each folder was created (and those that already existed) how do I set them as varibles?
For example,
set localBrandFolder_High_Res to my getFolderPath(brandName & "_WK" & weekNumber & "_HR", localBrandFolder)
This line was used to create more than one folder as it ran though the folders on the desktop. The next part is I will need to reference them to save files to them.
You can use a records
Examples
if you want the path of localBrandFolder_High_Res of "Diva", if "Diva" is the second folder of the Desktop
You get the path with this : localBrandFolder_High_Res of record 2 of myRecords
if you want the path of localWeekFolder in the first folder of the Desktop
You get the path with this : localWeekFolder of record 1 of myRecords
Here is the script
set myRecords to {}
set dtF to paragraphs of (do shell script "ls -F ~/Desktop | grep '/' | cut -d'/' -f1")
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in dtF
    set this_item to item i of dtF

Delete multiple files from multiple locations using config file

Hello All,
I am fairly new to .net and I have to make a windows application to delete files older than 90 days from multi ple locations. these multiple locations cant be hard coded and have to be configurable, also the number of days to delete the files have to be
configurable.
I think the answer to this would be an app.config file. but dont know how to use the same.
can anyone tell me about this and if possible help me out with a code snippet.?

Add settings like picture below. Add the string by press the double dot icon.
The use the code below
static void Main(string[] args)
int deleteDays = Properties.Settings.Default.DeleteDays;
StringCollection folders = Properties.Settings.Default.Folders;
foreach (string folder in folders)
DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(folder);
FileSystemInfo[] deleleteFiles = info.EnumerateFiles()
.Where(x => x.LastWriteTime < DateTime.Today.AddDays(deleteDays))
.ToArray() ;
foreach(FileSystemInfo file in deleleteFiles)
File.Delete(file.FullName);

I want my file adapter to poll multiple locations in soa 10g

Hi All
I had a requirement that "I want my file adapter to poll multiple locations in soa 10g".I came to know that in soa 11g it is possible.
I want this to be done in soa 10g.
plz help me.
thanks,

You can have pick activity and have separate ftp adapter for each folder, but you will be using the same jndi in all pick activity.
In that way you can have multiple ftp adapter but uses the same jndi by increasing the performance.
User will be configured to a home location, example as below.
say a ftp user "adminuser" is configured to a default folder c:/ftp_files
You can create multiple folders under the same folder like below.
c:/ftp_files/location_a
location_b
location_c
location_d
For each location have a separate ftp adatper, but all of them uses the same jndi while defining the path you have to change according to the above folder.
Let me know how this goes.

File sharing across multiple user accounts on the same machine

Hello,
I try to figure out how multiple users (my wife and I) on the same mac can have equal access to files on the local drive without granting that access to all users on that machine or even the rest of the world.
My research sofar hasn't come up with a satisfying solution. Here are the solutions that I am looking at:
1. Enable a permission system that ensures access to both users in all cases (file/directory creation, copy and move).
I only found a suitable solution for creating and copying files/directories but not for moving them.
See the following articles for reference:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20787617#20787617 Setting up a shared structure that works e.g. for iPhoto Library but not for moving files to and from
https://discussions.apple.com/message/4005647#4005647 Helpful information on POSIX Permissions, ACL's an Permission inheritance
This would be my first choice if I can get around the problem of moving files...
2. Disk Image
Create a disk image which ignores persmissions and set permissions for the file that contains the image instead.
Read this article to get further details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
This solution will work but has a few disadvatages:
There's no mutual access from multiple user accounts since an image may only be mounted by one user at a time.
One has to create a startup script that mounts the image upon login which would create a first come first serve for access to the image content.
3. Using a file sharing protocol (e.g. afp or smb) locally.
The idea behind it is to have a server providing the files mutually to multiple users one the same machine. At them moment this seems to be the most promising approach to me.
Unfortunately I can get acces from another machine but not from the same machine. Has anyone ever tried to access the file sharing (afp or smb) from the same machine on which the server is located?
Has anyone got some helpful hints for me?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but you didn't specify details, and it was worth checking whether or not you had overlooked this approach.
The problem you're having (as I suppose you already know) is that any new disk item inherits the permissions of the folder it is originally created in in. These permissions (sensibly enough) need owner or administrator permission to change once they've been established; that will happen when you copy a file to a new location (because that's essentially creating a new file) but not when you move it. any of the following would work:
changing the permissions on newly created files for both users so that they all explicitly give r/w access to a particular group.
writing a droplet that would change the permissions of files dropped on it and move them programmatically to the shared folder
set up a folder action or launchd job that would watch the shared folder and automatically convert permissions on files placed in it.
The last would be the approach I would take, but... which appeals to you?

Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty. I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion. Help??

Suddenly my event library in iMovie 11 is empty. I have tried deleting the plist, importing clips from multiple locations (to see if they show up in the library), re-installing iMovie, and re-installing Mountain Lion.
I was working on a project, when all of a sudden the event library went blank. There are no devices showing in the left column, only "last import" and "aperture videos". There are no video clips in the editing window. I have "Show: All Clips" selected. I've tried "group events by disk".
When I have a Project open, it plays just fine. There are no yellow triangles saying "source clip is missing". Yet, again...nothing is in the event library large editing window. So, it seems the data is still there, but invisible. This is true with all the projects, and all the external devices I've experimented by plugging in to see if their video clips show up in the event library.
I have tried to import new movies, and iMovie responds as normal...looking like it's importing, then "generating thumbnails", then it makes the "ding" signalling that the import is complete...but nothing shows in the event library. I've tried importing movies from the harddrive, from quicktime, and from an external drive.
I have searched the forums, and found many users with a similar, but not the same, problem. For them, it seems the "go to users-library-preferences and delete iMovie plist" has solved their problem. This didn't work for me.
I uninstalled/reinstalled iMovie, I even have re-installed Mountain Lion (from a last-ditch effort suggestion from Apple technician).
HERE'S AN INTERESTING DETAIL: After almost 5 hours on the phone with Apple, I decided to cut my losses and take my project to another Mac I have. I'm working on a project, for work, that is critical that it's completed by tonight (whoops), and all my video is on an external drive. So, I plug in the external drive to Mac #2, open iMovie, and everything is looking fine. I continue importing some files I was converting, through Wondershare, and suddenly (whether or not this has to do with the importing, I'm not sure), the SAME THING happened to Mac #2!!!! I can't believe this.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Have you ever heard of this happening? Could it have to do with the files I'm importing???
I apologize if my language is confusing. Obviously, I'm not an Apple genius-person! I hope I've provided all the information you need.
Mac #1 is a 27" desktop, mid-2012, software up-to-date. Mac #2 is a 24" desktop, about 4 years old, OSX 10.7.5

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

Can I export using a single dump directory to multiple locations in oracle

I'm trying to do a full database export using expdp utility in oracle 10g. I have a single dump directory that is mapped to a particular file location say /export/dump. I don't want the entire dump file to be stored in the above path. Instead I want the dump to be distributed among multiple files. I know that this can be done using FILESIZE parameter which will distribute the contents to multiple files according to the size we have specified.
My problems comes here, I want to export my data to multiple locations, the path is different than what I mentioned above, say /first/dump. Now my question is should I create multiple dump directories for each location before exporting or can I omit directory attribute in expdp and specify the complete path in the FILE parameter itself.

No. EXPDP needs the server component LOGICAL DIRECTORY. If you don't specify the directory, it will go to the default EXPDP path which will be mostly /rdbms/log. It's defined by the parameters DATA_PUMP_DIR.
You will have to specify directory attribute if you want to point your dumpfile to go to any specific location and you cannot give the directory path in the file name in EXPDP (unlike conventional exp)

Can we control order of cycling when use same access key in multiple locations

Hi,
I'm using Jdev 11.1.1.6, IE 9, Firefox 24.0.
I have created simple jspx page having two buttons, named Add and Close. Close button has got access key as C. When click on Add button I'm calling a <af:popup> and that popup contains two buttons Submit and Cancel. Cancel button has got access key as C. Basically in one jspx file I have got two button using same access key. At runtime those buttons will display one in page and one in popup.
In IE: it works fine. When I do access key on popup it will close down the popup.
In Firefox: it will first focus to the button on the page. When I access the same key for the second time it will set the focus to button on popup and will not execute the action.
If I'm using different letters it will perform the action in firefox and IE both. In my requirement I need to use the same letter.
I read in oracle documentation "If the same accessKey appears in multiple locations in the same page of output, the rendering user agent will cycle among the elements accessed by the similar keys.". So it seems to be an expected behaviour.
My question is: Can we control the order of cycling. i.e. If we do access key on popup, can we first focus on the button in popup instead of button on the page in firefox.?
Greatly appreciate your ideas.
Thanks.

Hi,
unfortunately yes, the cycling behavior is up to the browser.

Can you use a publishing profile to deploy to multiple locations?

Is there a way to deploy my web app to multiple locations? Right now I am using a publishing profile (example below) and tried to use MSDeploy to deploy to my server and then just to a network location by having multiple PropertyGroup attributes.
Without creating two builds (one to deploy to the server and a second to the file system) how can I do this? The code below doesn't cause any errors but it only uses the last PropertyGroup.
Any suggestions?

FDM integration script for multiple locations

Hi,
I have a slight problem with FDM integration script (SQL integration).
From what I've understood and tested within one FDM-application (tablespace) I'm not able to have multiple integration scripts. This because the integration script needs to be named SQLIntegration.uss, otherwise there will be an error.
I have multiple locations within one FDM-application where I would like to use an integration script. Due to the above mentioned naming "bug", I need to include all my locations' integration information in one script. As imagined this is not a solution that easy to maintain or easy to read.
- Is there a workaround for the name-bug?
- Can I call a function within the main function? I tried without any success, but maybe you would have a solution.
Any input would be beneficial

user10757003 wrote:
Not sure what you mean when you say you rename the file and you get the error.
Is this a new integration script you have created and cut / pasted the existing integration script contents? If so, did you remember to change the SQLINTEGRATION = TRUE statement at the end of the script to the new integration script name? this might be the reason why you get the 'Import Successful' popup and the Import error dropdown.What I mean is that scripts are name xxx.uss abc.uss. This should be fairly clear.
Now I have the SQLIntegration.uss, if I change the name of the script to SQLIntegration1.uss or any name. The script will not work. And I receive one error and one success message as stated above.
Note: I'm not changing the content or anything else inside the script.

Broadcast To Multiple Locations?

Trying to output to multiple servers - tried launching multiple window of FMLE - but get an error message with the second broadcast attempt. Any ideas?

Do you want to publish different input source to multiple locations or same input source to multiple locations. If its former then invoking multiple FMLE's wont be good idea - you can go for Multi-point publish feature of FMS (if its just two servers and one is kinda back up server - then you use backup URL of FMLE).
If its latter then please check that when you invoke second FMLE - whether input source is defined - i mean check if there is valid device for Video.

Sync two 10.6 file servers

Hi everyone,
this might be a very basic question, but I haven’t seen a good guide on how to accomplish this, hence the question.
I would like to use 2 absolutely identical file servers (no other services, only AFP) with one of them being a backup that is not in use unless the first one crashes, burns, gets stolen, etc. The servers will be a Mac mini Server each with both having a 12 TB FireWire RAID attached. They need to be in separate locations, but Gigabit Ethernet is available to connect them.
In order to be clear: I thought of syncing both the system and the data on the RAID.
Do you have any recommendations on how to best accomplish this? Is there a best practice? Is rsync what I need here?
Thanks
Björn

There are many, many elements to your question and synching the data is the least (and easiest?) part of the equation.
For one, what's your failover model? Do you want the failover to happen instantly, with no disruption to the users? or do you mind if the users get disconnected and have to reconnect to their shares?
Or maybe you want failover to only happen manually? (i.e. only when you know the primary server is going to be down for a while). This is common because the cost of failback (i.e. resynching the 'backup' data to the primary server) is time consuming and could take longer than the primary server would be offline, anyway - if it'll take 2 hours to sync your data back then there's no point in failing over if your server is going to be back in 10 minutes.
Then there's the volume of data and, more importantly, the rate of change. Even if you have 10TB of data there may be only a few megabytes of data that changes daily and needs to be kept in sync. That wil ave a big impact on your replication strategy.
While on that subject, how much tolerance do you have for the servers being out of sync? If you need them to be real-time then you don't have the equipment for this - real-time replication of filesystems is a tricky (and expensive) task. If you want to sync daily, or even a few times a day, then that's easier, with the cost being a few hours' lost work should an unexpected failover happen. That may or may not be viable for you.
Either way I would not recommend Retrospect for this (or even for regular backups). A simple rsync shell script can replicate the data between two servers, it's largely an issue of frequency and volume that you have to consider.
