How to Remove a bad mailbox server and add new mailbox server to DAG and copy mailboxes over

DAG
2- cas - VM
2- mbx- physical blade (mbx1, mbx2)
5- mailbox databases
OS: Win 2008 SP2
Exchange 2010SP3
Storage: Tegile Disk jbod Luns
We have bad disks on mbx1. our plan is to get a new blade to replace the bad one named mbx3. we need to do this asap since we are running on 1 server without failover capability
How can I safely:
1. Add a new mailbox server to the DAG
2. Copy\Move the databases from the old (passive) server to the new server
3. Remove the bad mailbox server from DAG

You'll want to make sure that the new server is on all the same networks that the server you are removing is on, specifically networks that are DAG networks. Also, you'll want to avoid using Windows Network Load Balancing on the new mailbox server
since it will be part of the DAG. Also, just as you did with the current DAG members, ensure that the disk drive letters match the existing disks that hold databases & logs. Other than that, it's as simple as you have stated.
1.) Once you have the new mbx server built & configured with the mailbox role, you can use:
Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup "Name of DAG" | Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer "Name of New MBX Server"
2.) Add the databases to the new DAG member:
Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy "name of database" -MailboxServer "name of new DAG member" -ActivationPreference "[you decide based on the server replacing mbx1]"
3.) Once your databases are Mounted and/or Healthy on the new DAG member, you'll want to remove the databases from the "bad" server (make sure they are all passive on the server first):
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopy "SERVER\Database" | Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy
4.) Once all of the databases are removed from the "bad" DAG member, remove him from the DAG:
Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup "Name of DAG" | Remove-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer "Name of old MBX Server"
Before you pull the blade, uninstall Exchange Server gracefully, as this will save you AD & Exchange headaches later on.

There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

Extprocs and the new Exadata server

Our product, Symyx Direct, is a data cartridge. It implements a domain index by means of callouts to an external procedure library.
Customers pose queries such as:
SELECT MOLID FROM MOLECULES WHERE SSS(CTAB,’c=c-c=c@1’)=1;
The table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE MOLECULES (MOLID VARCHAR2(12) PRIMARY KEY, CTAB BLOB);
CREATE INDEX MOLIX ON MOLECULE(CTAB) INDEXTYPE IS C$MDLICHEM60.MXIXMDL;
The indextype MXIXMDL has operators associated with it, including SSS.
The definition of SSS involves extensible index calls to a .DLL (windows) or .SO (unix) that implements the search by calling Oracle OCI routines.
Since external procedures are called by the Oracle optimizer and run as a subprocess of the Oracle shadow task (unix) or thread in oracle.exe(windows) that is running the user’s Oracle session, how would this interact with the new Oracle Exadata Server? Would our cartridge product have to run in each low-level database cell inside the exadata server, or will this run at a higher level?

Anders,
That does not sound to hard ---
I will look into that.
Thanks!

Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID. (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes. If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

Hi, I have recently bought a new laptop and when I went to add new songs to my iphone and ipods and there is no music there when i signed into my account on itunes. How do I get it on there?

Copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

EM - Delete Existing Tracking ID and add New Tracking ID

Hello Everyone
I am working on u201CDual Tracking IDu201D issue for EM Project.
Issue: Current design, when Users change Tracking ID (Inbound Delivery Bill of Lading #), In Event Management, we have both Old and New Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO).
Solution: Users / Business Requested to Update Existing Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO) in EM. Anytime in EM, we will have only NEW value of YTRACK_NO.
For the same, I modified FM in ECC and Config (Rules) in EM.
Added Tracking References in Event Message FM whenever there is change in Tracking No.
Replace Existing Tracking ID YTRACK_NO with new Value
 ls_trackreferences-evtcnt = lv_evtcnt.
 ls_trackreferences-refcod = 'YTRACK_NO'.
 ls_trackreferences-refid = <ls_xlikp>-bolnr.
 ls_trackreferences-refusage = 'T'.
 ls_trackreferences-action = 'A'.
 APPEND ls_trackreferences TO lt_trackreferences.
Configuration / Rules in EM:
For YIDN_CHANGED_TRAC Activity:
Iu2019ve added Task12 u2013 Delete Tracking u2013 Activity TRACKING_ID_REMOVE
TASK 15 u2013 Added Tracking ID u2013 Activity TRACKING_ID_SET
Once the FM and Config is completed,
When I change Existing Inbound Delivery BOL #, I see TRACKING ID (YTRACK_NO) is deleted from Tracking ID Tab for Inbound Delivery EH but new Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO) is not added either.
I checked SLG1 ( logs) and I see Activity is Triggered and RC = 0. Donu2019t see any errors either.
I see entry in /saptrx/evm_ref ( New Tracking ID) table.
Any thoughts?
Any help is appreciated.
PS:
u2022 Once the Event Messages is posted, If I do Reprocess Event Messages (Manually), interestingly New Tracking ID is getting added to EH.
u2022 Also if post Event Messages through BADI (/SAPTRX/BAPI_EH_ADDEVENTMSG_02) in EM (manually) , it works Perfectly (Deletes and Adds new Tracking ID)

you sign in on apple website and then you can add or remove any account..

Move Exchange 2010 Server from AD Server to a new Member Server

Hi All,
I would like to get some suggestion on a particular task which i have presently , In my organisation i have a Exchange Server 2010 installed on Win2008 R2 DC (FSMO role Holder), also i got a ADC on Win2003 R2 Server for the same Domain , My
task is to move Exchange 2010 from DC to a new Member server without loosing mail boxes and present configuration ,Kindly guide me with the steps to achieve this task easly
Thanks & Regards
Sameer

Hi Sameer and thanks for posting. Its good that you are moving exchange server from DC, because installing exchange server on DC its not recommended. To get the job done: 1.Install exchange server on the new Member server. (You can spread the roles on
the different servers if you are in the enterprise level organization.) 2.Create MailBox Databases according to your management style. 3.Move the mailboxes from DC server to the new Exchange server. 4.Move System Mailboxes to New server. 5.I would move FSMOs
to the ADC and shut down the old exchange for a week. 6.If everything was alright uninstall old exchange and move FSMOs back. I hope this helps. Farhad

Why "New Item" in ribbon and "Add new item" in xsllistview link to different form

Hi all,
I have a question. I have a list with two new forms, one is created in SPD the other one is created in InfoPath (both forms are created by developer).
I don't know why the new form link to different page when I click "New Item" in ribbon and "Add new item" in list view.
1. Will open new form that created in InfoPath when click on "New Item" in ribbon.
2. Will open new form that created in SPD when click on "Add new item" in list view.

One way to do this would be to hold the urls for the pages you need to display in a table. You could then build the links as one of the columns of a report using some fancy SQL. 
 
Or you could make a simple function to return the correct link based on the relevant parameters: 
 
create or replace function get_url (p_criteria in varchar2) return varchar2 
is 
lv_url varchar2(500); 
begin 
if p_criteria = 'Personal' then 
lv_url := 'http://host:port/pls/portal/etc...'; 
end if; 
etc... 
return '&LT;a href="' || lv_url || '"&GT;' || p_criteria || '&LT;/a&GT;'; 
end; 
 
Your report could then include the function as one of the columns in your report. 
Not very elegant but it should do the job.

My laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!

my laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!
Please help!

Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you.

Nsert/Update and Add Column at the same Table and at the "same" Time

Hello,
I want Insert/Update and Add Column at the same Table and at the "same" Time but in different sessions.
Example:
At first the "insert/update" statement:
Insert into TestTable (Testid,Value) values (1,5105);
After that the "add" statement:
Alter table TestTable add TestColumn number;
- sadly now I get the message: ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified
"insert/update" statement:
Insert into TestTable (Testid,Value) values (2,1135);
After that the execute commit.
I don't know when the first session set the commit statement so I want that the DB the "Alter Table..." statement execute if it's possible.
If it's possible I want to save a repeat loop with the "Alter Table..." statemtent.
Thanks for ideas

Well I want to walk in the rain without and umbrella and still stay dry, but it ain't gonna happen.
You can't run a DDL statement against a table with transactions pending. Session 2 has to wait until session commits or rollbacks (or until the session is killed). That's just the way it is.
This makes sense if you think about it. The data dictionary has to be consistent across all sessions. If session 2 was allowed to change the table structure whilst session 1 has a pending transaction then the database is in an inconsistent state. This is easier to see if you consider the reverse situation - the ALTER TABLE statement run by session 2 does a DROP COLUMN TESTID rather than adding a column: now what should happen to session 1's INSERT statement? You have retrospectively invalidated a statement that was perfectly legal when it was executed.
If it's possible I want to save a repeat loop with the "Alter Table..." statemtent.Fnord.

You originally posted on a thread that really wasn't related to your problem, so I branched the discussion.
Check the Windows System Event Viewer to see the details of the crash, most importantly the name of the faulting module.
Most crashes on Open or Save are due to OS bugs (especially on MacOS) or bugs in third party extensions to the OS open and save dialogs.

That didn't answer either of my questions.
What are you trying to sign into using Safari?
Did you change the email on your existing Apple ID or create a new Apple ID?
What "app button" are you talking about?
