How to configure profile manager in Maverics when DNS is externally managed?

Are there any guides to configuring Profile Manager as a MDM?
Here is my story.
Recently installed Mac mini at a school where the DNS is externally managed by the Education departments IT group. Upgraded to Maverics and installed Server app. Configured profile manager to the point where we could generate a trust profile and enrolment profile. Doesn't work because there is no DNS entry for Mac mini server. Create entry but need to change host name and computer name and local machine name to match entry. Suddenly profile manager not working at all. Delete server app and it's configuration file in ~/Library/. Reinstall. Now Profile manager won't even activate. Speak to Apple on phone, run various commands to reinitialise Open Directory and reset profile manager. To no avail. Apple say to reinstall Mavericks, Server and try again.
Funny thing is I got profile manager to work as an MDM in a test environment, but changing DNS after doing so much configuration seems to have made a real mess of things. Vowing to make a time machine backup as soon as Mavericks re-installs.
Anyone know of any guides other than the one on krypted.com, which appears to be for the previous version of Profile Manager.

In general, either your OS X Server box has a DNS translation for its address, or it doesn't.
If you don't have valid DNS, you will have problems with various services, as DNS is fundamental to distributed authentication and encryption, among other uses.
OS X Server doesn't recover well from installations that start off with DNS errors, and the wipe and reinstallation suggested by Apple is usually easier than resolving the various issues that tend to arise within the configurations of the various services.
If your server doesn't have a valid DNS translation, then either add the DNS translation into your organization's local DNS environment, or work to retrain or replace the folks that are unwilling or unable to administer and to properly maintain local DNS services, or (far less desirably) configure and start your own parallel DNS services. There are other options, of course.
I'd escalate this discussion to management, and let them sort this out — at its core, this very likely isn't a technical issue.

How to configure a pop up message when creating an appraisal?

Hi All,
I have a question.
When the supervisor creates an appraisal for an employee, the supervisor is obligated to create Objectives for the employee but creating Competencies are only optional for executives (people group). When the supervisor has finished creating the appraisal and wants to review it, he will need to click on a Continue button.
When the continue button is pressed, a warning pop up message will appear if the competencies created was null. As it is only a warning pop up message the supervisor can just click ok and continue to the review page.
Now I am needed to configure this pop up message for the appraisal creation page and I would like to know how do I go about in searching for it? Should it be in the OAF java files or is the pop up message can be configured using personalization? I just want to know how to search for the configuration of this pop up message. Thank you
regards,
Ilham

Hi Sheela,
Though you made 'Dataline' field as mandatory, system will throw an error message and will put MOUSE CURSOR on that missing field. So ultimately user would come to know that a particular field is missing.
And in SAP there would be lots of mandatory fields and it's really not feasible to put pop-up messages for such requirements and that too in transactions like CMR.
Tell user that system will automatically put MOUSE CURSOR on a particular mandatory field anytime anybody misses to maintain it. As a SAP consultant, your job is to convince the user with such standard functions.
If at all you want to put pop-up message for it, then you need to go for User Exit development.
Revert back if any further issue.

Anup

How to configure netboot across vlans/DHCP when already a windows bootp server in the mix?

Hi All,
We just moved to multiple VLAN's for our Mac's in a mostly WIndows environment. DHCP option 66 points to a Windows Deployment Server & option 67 to the WDS file.
I've tried "sudo bless –netboot –server bsdp://10.2.0.1" on a client but get "Netboot scheme bspd not supported on EFI systems".
I can get changes to the DHCP scopes if needed -except for the boot server, so I was thinking using something like using DHCP Vendor Class Identifier to specify a different bootp server but have no clues how...
Any ideas?
Cheers
Steve

You might check out the "How to boot across subnets" page at <http://afp548.com/mactips/>. It has a bunch of info.

Hi Jay SenSharma,
Thanks for your immediate response.
I saw your URL links, But in your link give the recursive deployment using wlst. But my question is how to configure the oracle weblogic library files into Admin server & Managed Servers by using the wls.jar file through wlst script to create the new domain.
But if create the new domain by using GUI mode then we manually give the admin server port number & managed servers port number and name.
By default the library files are configured with the Admin server in GUI mode. But the Managed server the Library files are not configured with the Managed servers. Then we manually select all the library files to the corresponding managed servers. Then only the applications are deployed into the corresponding managed server.

How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

Hi,Guys
I wrote an application server(daemon process) to talk with oracle server
continuous which used oracle9 OCCI lib, each 5 min it executes the procedure
on the DB server.
Now I have come cross a problem:
If the network is blocked, app server will blocked at occi call and would
never pass, and no exception was catched :-(
for e.g.
1. Oracle server reboot without shutdown oracle process
2. udp broadcast message storm blocked the connection between app server and
oracle DB.
I consider maybe it's because OCCI using the blocking mode of connection
that caused this problem.
How can I interrupt the blocking call when call timeout?

Manage the timeout using a separate thread. When the timeout happens, issue a break on the OCCI connection. There is no direct way as of now. You need to do this to break a OCCI connection.
retrieve the OCI handle from the OCCI handle (e.g. using Connection::getOCIServer or Connection::getOCIServiceContext methods) and issue a OCIBreak on it. Do not forget to allocate a error handle which should be passed to OCIBreak call.

How to configure content mgmt

Any idea how to configure content Mgmnt service to store it to external server?
we have documentum which we have configured but the only problem is the version management doesnt work and if we give a name we cannot change it later...
Any help would be appreciated...
DM Server is only for storing inside sap right..
We need DM service or CM service???

George ,
You can configure Documentum content repository as a external content server to store DIR originals.
You need to install Documentum content services for SAP before you can configure the SAP system.
You need to define a content repository entry for the external content server inthe Content management service .You also need to define a Content category for the content repository you created.
Hope this resolve your issue.

How to import Lion Server VPN Configuration Profile into Profile Manager

Greetings All,
I'm working on configuring a Lion Server VPN (10.7.2) and I hit the following road block. I succesfully started the VPN server and profile manager. In fact, if I download the built-in "everyone" profile that has the pre-configured VPN to device such as an iPad things work just fine. However, I'd like to create other profiles with the same VPN configuration info so I can delegate more specifically to different groups and users. I was hoping I could simply import the VPN configuration profile that I saved in the Server dashboard when I setup the VPN service into profile manager somehow. The reason I'm going this route is because every time I try to just re-make the VPN profile it doesn't want to work. I'm not sure why, but I figure why re-invent the wheel if I don't have too. Any suggestions?

After a lot of investigating I haven't found a way to do this, I'm assuming it cannot be done.

Configuring the default configuration profile for Profile Manager

Hello folks,
I would like to edit the default configuration profile served by Profile Manger. As far as I understand the only thing I can configure from the Server.app is the name of the profile. The settings for the different services provided by the server (such Mail, Messages, etc.) are automatically chosen by Server.app. When logging as an administrator on the Profile Manager webapp, I can go to "Groups", choose "Everyone", go to "Settings" to review the different payloads. However, almost none of the settings are editable. You can read "This payload is configured using the Server app" on the top of the various panels.
So my question is: How do you use Server to tweek those payloads? Can this be done using the serveradmin command line tool?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards

Problem when we created the managed server to configure different ports.

I am trying to configure different ports for admin console and my communication service as we can’t share admin port to the outside world.
So that only admin can access admin console using admin port.
And out side clients can access my webapplication using different port.
For this i have created the managed server in weblogic.and I deployed the application on managed server.
Now admin server is running on 8001 port and my Communication Service application is running on 7001 port.
But when I tried to configure MBeans related to myCommunicationServiceApplication those were disapper on admin console. And the other wlng services are appearing on admin console.
1. Since my application deployed on managed server MBeans registration happened from myapplication hence it’s disappear on admin console.
Now If I want to configure Mbeans (related to my communication service) how can I configure it?
2. My communication service using configurationStore module and other wlng services.
When I tried to start my application on managed server I got the below error:
<Apr 28, 2009 12:22:44 PM IST> <Error> <Deployer> <BEA-149231> <dscp11166.TechMahindra.com> <Unable to set the activation state to true for the application 'wlng_nt_qualcomm_active_mediation [Version=1.0]'.
com.bea.wlcp.wlng.api.storage.configuration.ConfigurationException: Configuration store module is not available.
3. I tried to target all wlngResources to manged server by editing config.xml file.
Then all wlng services disappears on admin console. If this is the case how can I configure container/account services on wlng?
I have created the Basicweblogic domain.
Below is the config.xml for reference.
"QualcommServer" is managed server name.
Can any one please suggest me how to configure this kind of scenarios?

How to configure oracle listener profile for multiple oracle database

Hi,
I am going to install solution manager system in the same server of ERP EHP4 on Windows. Both DB are oracle.
I'd like to know how to configure listener in this kind of envirnmonent.
a. use two listener and different ports
b. use same listener but different ports
c. use same listener and same port
Which is the correct mothed?
And, after installation, there seem three set of profiles of listten, one for ERP, one for SLM, and the other for OS?(%windir%system32), which one is functional?
Please advise.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Alex

Hi,
standard installation is creating new configs for listener for each instance.
I would recommend to use one listener per each instance.
YOU CAN NOT HAVE one port number for two differnet systems!
If you want to use one listener than you must adapt tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and ensure that both systems will use different port numbers.
For example PORT= 15<system number>

i configured grc 10 system successfully. I created one user: GR_AR_APP001 and assign following roles:
SAP_GRAC_ACCESS_APPROVER
SAP_GRAC_ACCESS_REQUEST_ADMIN
SAP_GRC_FN_BASE
SAP_GRC_FN_NUSINESS_USER
and I maintained GR_AR_APP001 in access control owners as "POINT OF CONTACT", "SECURITY LEAD" and "WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR"
but when i am creating access request for new user and defining MANAGER under user details tab as GR_AR_APP001.
the user GR_AR_APP001 is not receiving any request for APPROVE or REJECT in his WORK INBOX.
