IFS Unix or NT 4.0.

Is iFS fully functional with NT4.0?
(1) Are there known bugs on NT server 4.0
that can affect iFS from being fully functional?
(2) Which enviroment is ideal for iFS?
Unix or NT 4.0.
Please, let me know because the answer to this question will have large financial repercussions on my company.
Thanks, in advance...
Elvis...

1. Ifs is fully support on both NT and Unix (Sun Solaris today) other Unix Platforms are forthcoming.
2. iFS runs on both Unix and NT. It was architected to be platform agnostic. Which platform makes most sense for you buisness is a decision only you can make based on your knowledge of your business requirements, your proposed deployed architecture, the skill sets you have available in house, the investments you want to make etc. At this point the iFS Team would not be able to make specific recomendations as to which platform you should use to host the iFS Server.

Mapping iFS on UNIX to WIN2K

Is it possible to map iFS running on unix (Solaris) to WIN2K client? What do you use for //<server_name>? I don't see anything through Network Neigborhood or search.

I switched to a Windows 98 client and still cannot find the iFS server (running on Solaris box). Is there any additional configuration on the iFS unix server which needs to be done to get a Windows client to find it through the browser? All processes are running with the default install parameters.

Fix many web access problems with IFS 9.0.1 on Solaris (and other OS's)...

When the installation is done according to the documentation,
web access does not work because the scripts that add entries to
the jserv.properties file add duplicate references to
wrapper.env and wrapper.classpath. Look at the jserv.properties
file below and look at the remarked-out (#) lines of the
duplicate references. For example, look at the references to the
wrapper.env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Oracle, please note this bug so the web access problems are
minimized when the product is intstalled.
Thank you,

File Adapter to iSeries IFS "Configured source directory does not exist"

Good day, All
We are using PI 7.1
I need the PI file adapter to pull a file off of an iSeries(AS400) IFS folder directory.
I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from the PI server C and D drives.
I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from other network drives.
But the iSeries IFS folder keeps coming back "does not exist".
I've configured the Source Directory with / and with \ and it doesn't help.
I am able to navigate to the folder while logged into the PI server as the server admin.
I've tried mapping a drive on the server to the IFS folder but that doesn't work either.
Please help!!!
I've wasted too much time trying different settings on this already.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

Dear Chad,
Please go through the following SDN link :
- Configured source directory .... does not exist was suppressed
give the write permisson to the directory for everyone group and check if that helps.
Also, kindly go through the following links :
1) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/TroubleshootingtheFile+Adapter (point 2)
2) Not able to read files from Windows directory to Unix Server using NFS
which might give some hints in solving your issue.

SMTP in iFS question

I installed iFS 1.1 on Oracle 8.1.7. Setup the SMTP server on the default port. Did NOT setup IMAP (port conflict). If I understand correctly, this should allow inbound mail to be stored into iFS (and maybe even forwarded?), but would not allow the iFS folder to be used by a mail client. How do I actually try this? How do I send a mail message to the SCOTT user?

You might try using 'mail' on UNIX to generate a message to a user account in Oracle iFS via SendMail.

IFS Versioning through Command Line

I am no Java developer and am utilising the command line utilities to store/move/copy documents around in iFS. You seem to be able to cater for most operations but I cannot seem to find how to switch versioning on for a document once it has been stored. I assume you must be able to do it using ifssetattr?
Anyone have any suggestions (with examples, if poss?)
Thanks
Chris

Mark,
Thanks for the info - now I know why I can't seem to find it! Unfortunately using Webui isn't really an option. I am pretty familiar with the Web and Windows interfaces but I am looking to impliment a batch process that automatically takes documents that are ftp'd into Unix filestore and creates the appropriate folders, stores the documents, applies the correct ACL, etc., all in real time.
As mentioned previously I have no experience of Java but plenty of experience of hacking other bits of code. I can obviously retrieve a document id into a JSV using command line utilities. Am I being naive in assuming that it would only require a simple piece of Java to be produced (with document id supplied as a parameter) to be able to accomplish this?
Thanks
Chris

Its not portable through platforms as Java.
But correct me if i'm wrong.
Also just one remark to avoid confusion:
There is no Database Server included in

We currently have around 950,000 files stored on an NTFS file system. It has become a hassle to maintain and backup. We expect the number of files to grow at a pace of 150,000 per year.
These files need to be accessable by UNIX and NT. We currently are using NFS to do that for UNIX access to the files.
iFS sounds like an interesting solution to our problem. It would allow the SMB and NFS access we need. We would run iFS on Solaris. My questions are:
1. How reliable is iFS? It is stable, does it have any issues with data corruption?
2. Can iFS handle this many files efficiently?
3. What are your experiences with iFS in general?
4. Does Oracle seem committed to iFS in the future?
Any feedback is really appreciated. Please post here or you can email me at [email protected]
Thanks all!

Hi,
Just to let you know that I have just managed to successfully tether the MOFI3500-3GN 4G/LTE to an iPhone 5 running iOS8 using USB.
This was in the UK.
Solution was to upgrade the MOFI firmware to the latest version, then "upgrade" it again to the iPhone specific firmware.
After that it was just a case of plugging it in and turning on, off and then on the hotspot, "trusting" the router at the appropriate juncture.

Unix sql script

hi,
I need some help if possible
I have the folloiwng script
select count(*) from dba_users where account_status !='OPEN'
and username not in (
'PROD_HCUST_HK',
'MDSYS',
'SCOTT',
'WMSYS',
'CTXSYS',
'ANONYMOUS',
'OUTLN',
'MGMT_VIEW',
'SI_INFORMTN_SCHEMA',
'ORDSYS',
'EXFSYS',
'DMSYS',
'ORACLE_OCM',
'TSMSYS',
'MDDATA',
'DIP',
'SYSMAN',
'XDB',
'ORDPLUGINS',
'OLAPSYS'
;normally the result of count(*) will be '0'
I need to wrap this in a unix script to be able to then get a result so that I can if the value of count(*) is > 0 then I can get an alert from grid control.
regards
Alan

Hi Alan,
One way I do this is using a shell script to run an .sql file with your code in it. i.e. have a file called selectAll.sql with whatever query you want to run and then I use a shell script in the following fashion.
The SQL that I use selects one column per row.
This is a /bin/bash script that is run as root, hence the su - oracle stuff
MEDIA=`su - oracle -c ". ~/.bash_profile; sqlplus username/password@database @/u01/sql/selectAll -S | grep ':' | grep -v 'Connected' | grep -v 'SQL'"`
#Use newline as separator
OIFS=$IFS
IFS=;
#print one line per MIB variable
for text in $MEDIA; do
echo $text | sed s/\://
doneHope this helps,
Conor

IFs on Solaris/8.1.6

I am trying to run the final script ifssetup as root after installing and configuring iFS this is the error that I am receiving.
lbdev-db-1 4# ifssetup
Setting up iFS jws directory
Enter the password for the iFS schema named ifssys: ifssys
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
Invalid password specified or Oracle 8i database not running.
Some control files need to be updated with the iFS schema
password to bring up the iFS Java Web Server. Please rerun
/usr/local/server/oracle/product/8.1.6/ifs/bin/ifsjwssetup with the correct iFS
schema password to use JWS.

// If Oracle has been initialized, then on some operating systems,

Tyson,
After you login as root, do an env to verify that your Oracle environment variables are set correctly. It sounds like the ORACLE_SID is not set.
I login as the oracle unix user, then do a 'su'. This will retain your environment so you can start all the services as root.
Hope this helps.

Users migration from ifs 9.0.1 to ifs 9.0.2

I have 2 installations of ifs:
1) IFS 9.0.1.0.0 on Linux RH 7.1 (iAS) and Solaris (db)
2) IFS 9.0.2.0.0 on Linux RH Advanced Server 2.1 (Infrastructure and iAS on the same machine)
On installation 1 I've some 50 users, which I want to migrate on installation 2. I tried with ifsexportusers/ifsimportusers (and ifsexportcontent/ifsimportcontent), but when I tried to reimport on installation 2 the ExportSet created with installation 1, I received:
IFS-47003: ClassObject (ACCESSCONTROLLIST) has a different number of attributes on import system than in ExportSet. Correct and try again.
With ifsmgr I can see that ACLs in 9.0.2 have an attribute which is not present in 9.0.1 ACLs: COMPONENTACLS (datatype: PUBLICOBJECT_ARRAY): I think therefore that I cannot resolve this problem if I don't change the attributes in 9.0.1 (add), or in 9.0.2 (delete), but I think this is a bit unsafe...
Do you Know another easy and fast way to migrate users? (Yes, I can recreate users and copy their documents manually, but this is a very slow and error prone way).
Thanks, bye.
Angelo

Angelo,
You shouldn't eb using the ifs export/import for migration we don't support using export/import on diffrent versions. Did you check the installation guide it explains how to upgrade from 901 to 902.

Accessing IFS from Solaris

It seems strange to me but it appears the only systems you can't access iFS is unix filesystems.
Its seems strange to me that I can't access an iFS database from a unix machine.... Is this the case? BTW> I need filesystem access, not ftp/web/etc.
Thanks.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Alan (Oracle):
IFS does not currently support NFS (which is the native Unix file system protocol).
This is an important future direction for us.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Any idea which release this will be in?

IFS storage doubt......

Hi,
I am just going through the iFS documents. admin and config document discuss things like loading the files, starting and stopping the agents and ifssys oracle schema and ifs_ views on the database side. my doubt is , for eg, when u move a word document from the local drive to the iFS folder what exactly is happening?. is the file going to be stored in the designated directory in the unix box/nt shared drive. or the file is parsed and stored in some basic tables with blob/clob objects?. or the database tables with bfile col point to the file sytstem file?.
Thanks,
Palani.

The IFS folder is really a "view" of the Database. When the file is uploaded to the IFS Folder, it will be stored inside the Database.
Thank You
Brian

Setting IFS Windows share (O drive ) to read-only

Hi
I was wondering what is required to make the Windows node (O drive) read only for all users when they access it from Windows Explorer.
Is it just a question of, in IFS Manager, setting the Node(myserver:53141) to the ACL "Protected"?
Any help will be most welcome.
Thanks
Hugo

Is your host on a Windows machine or a Linux/Unix machine? If the later perhaps you could use SMB for your Windows mounts and map all users to an account that was restricted to read-only. This way users could use WebDAV for full priviledge access but the O:\ mounts (by Samba) would be read-only.
If your server is Windows, I'm not sure how to fool Windows but perhaps some Windows guru can tell us.
