Flash Archive HTTP retrieval method

Hello, could anybody explain me why size restriction is there for HTTP flash method for flar archives? HTTP method can be used only for archives < 2GB. I would like to know why and how to split an archive > 2 GB. Thanks a lot for every reply.

What does the
"layered flash" mean, Andrew? cpio? it means standard flash archives, but splitted into parts
let me explain
for example:
1st flash archive - solaris os
2nd archive - some applications
3rd archive - oracle db
when you make archive, you include there only some directories and files you need, so in this case we have more flexibility

  • Retrieving image using HTTP GET method?

    I want to send a image to a client browser. My servlet's HTML response to the client browser contains the <img src="..."> tag. The client browser uses the HTTP GET method to call my servlet's DoGet method, and I must transfer the desired image to the client browser in this DoGet method at servlet. Now, the problem is that, what should be the source URL in the image(img) tag that is present in my servlet response to client?
    For eg: the img tag should be like this
    <img src="http://<hostname>:<portname>/<servletname>/...?[var1=value1]">
    Now at the ellipsis that you see in the above source URI, I want to write the type of image file (something.jpg) ,so the browser knows what kind of image file it is.
    To sum it up...how to get the image using DoGet method and <img src="...">
    Regards,
    Amit

    To give you a better idea on what's happening, read the RFC:
    (HTTP/1.0) http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/rfc1945.html
    (HTTP/1.1 - compressed data)
    http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html
    If you for example execute the command by telnetting to port 80 on a server:
    GET http://somewhere.com/some.jpg HTTP/1.0<cr>
    <cr>You will get this header:
    Trying 217.22.64.73...

    Escape character is '^]'.

    A webserver usually maintains a list of file extensions by which it will determine the correct MIME type to emit, when a resource is retrieved.
    The browser reads the header, and decides what to do with it, in combination with (X)HTML markup.

  • Question regarding flash archives

    Quick question to all
    Is there a maximum size a flash archive can be when being used by jumpstart over NFS?

    For Solaris10 11/06 Release:
    "The default copy method that is used when you create a Solaris Flash archive is the cpio utility. Individual file sizes cannot be over 4 Gbytes. If you have large individual files, you can create an archive with the pax copy method. The flarcreate command with the -L pax option uses the pax utility to create an archive without limitations on individual file sizes. Individual file sizes can be greater than 4 Gbytes."
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-6398
    This info for other versions/releases will be in install guide.

  • Creating a layered flash archive in Solaris 9

    I have set up a Solaris 9 install server (jumpstart) and now I would like to make it possible to use a flash archive to install different types of machines quicker. I have understood that you can do this by using layered archives, but I haven't found out how you create those. I have made a minimal install archive and I would like to create various different archives to add to that one, with different combinations for different machines. How do I create an archive that will add a web server to a minimal (Core) installation, for example?

  • ERROR: Archive found, but is not a valid Flash archive

    Hello,
    I have created flash archive file and tried to install a new server using it. Both servers are exactly the same type of servers.
    While installing I get the following message:
    ERROR: Archive found, but is not a valid Flash archive
    The message appears despite the method of installation: http, ftp, nfs.
    The source server is using Solaris 10 10/08 (the latest).
    Did anybody faced similar problem ?

  • Creating Standby server ---- Flash archive/Alternate Boot Environment.

    Dear All,
    I want to patch upgrade the Centralized login server which holds more than 200 users. To avoid this production outage during the downtime of upgradation, we are planning to create all the logins and application in the alternate server manually. But i feel (lazy) hesitate to create logins and copy the applications in the statndby server. Since "chpasswd" is not in solaris, i can't copy the /etc/passwd & shadow file to standby server.
    So i have the plan to achieve this by
    i) creating flash archive of existing login server
    ii) Creating Alternate boot environment in the standby server and flash restore the archive in it.
    Whether the above mentioned plan is achievable, how to create the entire flash archive of solaris os?? and how to deploy it in the alternate boot environment.?
    Regards,
    Siva

    Done, I've given the same path in Standby Database [datafiles, controlfiles] as it has been given in the Primary Database.
    MoreOver, I m manually switching logfiles at primary database [alter system switch logfile] they are copied and applied sucessfully at standby database. But the archived files that I have copied with cold backup are not applied yet. Infact they are not retrieved executing the below query.
    select name, applied from v$archived_log;
    How can I apply those archived logs? [archives that copied with cold backup]
    Regards.

  • Errors when attempting to Jumpstart install a flash archive: Solaris10_u8

    I pretty familiar with Jumpstart. I am attempting to use the new feature in Solaris10_u8 (10/2009) where you can do a flash archive install for zfs root systems.
    I first built a machine the way I wanted it, and applied all patches. Then I ran flarcreate to get my new image. Copied the new image to an HTTP server.
    Then I changed my rules/profile file to this time install the flash archive. Here is what my new profile looks like:
    install_type flash_install
    archive_location http://nas02.clark-communications.com/solaris/solaris10_u8/flash/sol101009flar
    partitioning explicit
    pool rpool auto auto auto mirror c0d0s0 c1d0s0
    The jumpstart install begins fine.
    At some point in the install, I see this:
         Extracted 1632.03 MB ( 90% of 1797.45 MB archive)
    cannot receive new filesystem stream: invalid stream (checksum mismatch)
         Extracted 1633.03 MB ( 90% of 1797.45 MB archive)
    The extraction continues. Later on, I see this:
    ERROR: Could not stop the extraction
    ERROR: Could not extract Flash archive
    ERROR: Flash installation failed
    Solaris installation program exited.
    And the installation fails/stops.
    What am I doing wrong, how do I fix this?

    I've tried this both ways- using Solairs 10 update 6 at least, installing a fash archive created on a zfs-root system to a ufs filesystem AND ainstalling a flash archive from a ufs based root onto a zfs filesystem both failed with odd errors similar to what you experienced. I have not tried this again with either update 7 or update 8, but I believe you will encounter the same problem.
    As far as I've seen so far- if the flash was created on a zfs root- you have to extract it to a zfs root filesystem, and if the original was ufs, you can only extract it to a ufs filesystem.

  • Inserting flash into HTTP

    I have been trying to insert flash file but I keep getting error messages that
    Not Found
    The requested URL /annimations/Snow.html was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    I firstly publish flash into both swf and http files.
    Then, I opened view source of the http file and pasted the code onto the dreamwaever file.
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0" width="700" height="500" id="Snow" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
    <param name="movie" value="Snow.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <embed src="Snow.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="700" height="500" name="Snow" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>
    In addition, I deleted code that swfobject.registerObject(FlashID) on the http file.
    The dreamweaver gave an error message that the code swfobject.registerObject(FlashID) can cause error when downloading the flash.
    Finally all http, swf and flash files were uploaded.
    But I still got the error message above.
    In the past, I managed to upload flash using the method above, although I did not get any message regarding swfobject.registerObject(FlashID).
    Could someone help me and point out what went wrong?

    Based on the error message the problem has to do with an html file, not an swf file.

  • How to call HTTP Post Method URL in SOA 10g

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where i need to call a HTTP Post Method, I have a URL, if i hit it in the browser, i am getting the response details. I know there is a HTTP Binding Adapter in 11g, but we are on 10g. Can anyone please let me know whether we can do it in 10g and how ?
    Thanks Always

    You will need to write the WSDL by yourself. Just make sure you have the end point detail, operation name(if required) and the schema available to write the WSDL.

  • Missing option to change HTTP request method on iView level

    Dear all,
    I am trying to implement an iView using the ApplicationIntegrator. Unfortunately I am getting the error message "Request Method POST is not allowed". I found this nice weblog where you have the option on the iView level to change the HTTP request method to "GET". Unfortunately I do not have this parameter.
    I am on EP6.0 SP 9.
    I really appreciate your help and will reward points.
    Thanks,
    Jens

    I'm not sure I fully follow what the problem is, or I'm misreading the issue.
    Just to be clear, you are in Active Directory Domains & Trusts console, you did a click on "Active Directory Domains and Trusts," and then you are saying on the left pane you are not seeing the "Raise Forest Functional Level"
    option, such as the following screenshot shows?
    I assume there is currently only one domain in the forest.
    Was there at any time another domain that was removed, such as a child domain or an additional domain tree, there was removed?
    What's the Schema version? To find it, run this without the quotes:
    "dsquery * cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=domainname,dc=local -scope base -attr objectVersion"
    Schema Version Matrix:
    ============================
    Version 13 = Windows Server 2000
    Version 30 = Windows Server 2003 RTM, Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2
    Version 31 = Windows Server 2003 R2
    Version 44 = Windows Server 2008
    Version 47 = Windows Server 2008 R2
    Version 56 = Windows Server 2012 RTM
    Version 69 = Windows Server 2012 R2

  • Flash archive to zone?

    Is there a way to take a flar from a solaris 10 physical machine and install it into a zone of another machine (also solaris 10)? I see the migration software for solaris 8 to a container, but not solaris 10 to container.

    redhat_123 wrote:
    Even if we have a whole root zone, extracting a flash archive wouldnt help. We really need to wait for Sun to provide a native P2V for Sol10. There would be work arounds, but not going to be supported by Sun.I'm not sure there's value in P2V for Solaris 10. IMO that would be handled just by building the zone and migrating what you've got to the zone.
    I'm sure I'm missing something here... the question is what.

  • Solaris 8 container install problem using Ultra 60 flash archive

    Hi

    It just sits at the WARNING doing nothing.
    I connected to the container console using "zlogin -C f714clone" but this just gives me a blank screen with no output and unable to do anything.
    I used a different archive from a V120 and had no problems.
    Is there something I need to configure for a Ultra 60.
    Thanks in advance.
    Steve.

    I got this to work. It seems, for whatever reason, that it doesn't like the '-u' flag for an Ultra 60. I installed using '-p' instead and it was fine, it even came up with the new IP I had assinged.
