Installation directory structure - help needed

Hi,
we are looking to install a cluster of weblogic servers, based on a SAN network.
We are looking for advice on what the best practise is for the installation within
directories /opt/bea/...etc for the various components: product, configuration,
application, jar, ear, etc.
Can anyone provide some good pointers of what they have used?
thanks

  • Problem in retreiving directory structure, code needs correction

    hello there
    I am trying to fetch the directory structure of a particular directory in a way that the structure of subdirectories is also displayed.
    I have the following code:
    CODE:
    import java.io.*;
    public class FetchDir2
    static File dirStruct[][] = new File[300][100]; //stores the directory structure at a particular level
    static Integer pastIndex[] = new Integer[300]; //Stores index upto which a particular level has been scanned

  • EMU 1212m installation problems! Help needed!

    Hello everyone. Hopefully someone can help me out, getting my 1212m back to working.
    A month ago, I bought a new computer and I put a EMU 1212m into it. It worked fine, until some other audio devices had bad drivers and made windows crash so many times, I decided to format my hard disk and install XP over again. Well, that worked out fine, computer is running very smoothly but I cant install my 1212m anymore. Windows does find new hardware, which it names "multimedia-audiocontroller, pci slot xx, etc" in the device manager. When I start the EMU setup from the original CD, it says "setup has not detected any supported hardware on your computer" and it closes down right away.
    I already tried this:
    - multiple installation CD's
    - multiple EMU drivers (internet, etc)
    - chancing PCI slots
    - disabling on-board sound via Bios
    - cleaning up registery settings from earlier installation attemps.
    - manually select the drivers on the installation CD. It installes the drivers and then Windows says: this device will not start.
    I can try whatever I want, but the message keeps on showing up everytime I start a setup. I don't know which actions to take next, so I desperately need some advice here.
    any help will be much appreciated!
    thanks,
    Hugo

    I just bought a 1212M and have had similar problems. I assumed the website drivers would be newer than those on the accompanying CD as is the case with most products -- WRONG! I got the same symptoms you describe with the internet drivers, only when I used the CD did it work -- and to my amazement, the CD drivers seems to be newer than the internet downloads (excluding the 2.0 beta drivers of course).
    Another complication I had was that I left my perfectly working X-Fi in the computer while installing the 1212M .... the drivers seem to confuse the two cards, which doesn't help. In fairness, the Emu documentation does warn about this, however I eventually got both to work together. If you have a second soundcard in the same computer, even one built into the motherboard, disable it and see if that helps. The Creative (SoundBlaster) drivers are notoriously hard to uninstall cleanly, so if necessary follow Martin Walker's excellent advice over at Sound On Sound (http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar0...pcmusician.htm).

  • Case structure help needed~

    Hi guys, i am running into some problem trying to output multiple data source into one single indicator, i have attached a screen shot of my schematic below. let's to refer to it...
    i need to run the big case structure after condition is met, but once it is met it will also need to check for certain condition, like '21' and '31' (i have many more) and display whatever constant that is to be displayed, but after i wired it up, it says wire connects to a undirected tunnel. is there is way to wire this sort of logic? i already tried it for quite sometimes, but still couldn't get it to work...
    Thanks in advance for all your help~

    Simmy,
    1st) Please do not use variables if not really neccessary
    2nd) Think of the wires in LabVIEW just like wires in electronics. Connecting two sources lead to a short. In your case, the short is not obvious since LV didn't typify the outputtunnel from the lower case structure.... which is strange to me, but for usage just as bad as a short....If you like to create a string "21" out of "2" and "1", you have to concatenate the two strings "2" and "1".
    hope this helps,
    Norbert

  • Creating Extractor Structure Help needed

    I m looking to create a custom datasource with function module (without delta)in rso2.

    can anybody tell me how to create extract structure
    Any document(s) for whole process will be appreciated.
    thankx in adv.
    regards,
    San!

    San,
    Check this:
    In this field you have the name of the type to which the component is assigned.
    The following cases are possible:
    A screen element is assigned to the component.
    A structure is assigned to the component.
    A table type is assigned to the component.
    The component references a class or an interface, or it has a generic reference to ANY, OBJECT, or DATA.
    The field component type is not filled. The data type, number of positions, and, if required, the decimal places are specified directly after the pushbutton Predefined type has been selected. In this case, the field component type remains empty.
    To find out which type is assigned to a component, refer to the field data type.
    Thanks

  • Directory Structure

    I just created a network installer for Q4 Release.  We have Developers, Full, and Debug licenses.  The DVDs were copied to the VLM computer's harddrive.  When I created the Debug configuration, the Network Installer reported the the DVDs did not have to be modified and would copy them directly.  When the network installed was done, it did not create the directory structure similiar to what the help file below shows.
    LabVIEW 8.0
    \_SourceFiles
    \Fourth Floor Engineering
    \Client
    vlmclient.exe
    other files
    setup.exe
    \Applications Group
    \Client
    vlmclient.exe
    other files
    setup.exe
    Figure 1. Network Installer Directory Structure
    I would have expected
    LabView 8.6
        \Source Files
        \Debug
            \Client
               vlmclient.exe
             setup.exe
    Only the \DISK1, \DISK2, \DISK3, \DISK4 were created.  The vlmclient.exe was not created.
    Paul 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you were creating the VLI, did you get a popup message that said the source did not need modification? If you saw that popup, that means VLM was not pointed to a valid source file location, which will cause a direct copy of the files with no additions.
    If you select a valid source location, you should not see that message and the Product Name field should automatically populate. If you are using the Dev Suite or Platform DVDs, you will need to follow the steps in the KnowledgeBase article I refered to in my previous post.
    Here is an example of what copying the installer directory could look like if you just copy the LabVIEW 8.6 Platform DVD 1:
    LabVIEW 8.6 Platform DVD 1\_SourceFiles
                                                            \(the _SourceFiles directory will contain a copy of DVD 1)
                                                    \LV PDS (License Set name)
                                                            \setup.exe
                                                            \Client
                                                                     \vlmclient.exe (as well as some other vlm files)
    On the client machine, you would want to run "setup.exe" to begin the installation.

    Looks like very difficult and inform you mgmt about the drawbacks of running olderv ersions
    may be you can try something like this but i dont know whether it is supported or not
    db_file_name_convert=['/dev/vx/dsk/suportaldg/oracle3','/dev/vx/dsk/suportaldg/STDBY/oracle3']
    db_file_name_convert=['/dev/vx/dsk/suportaldg/oracle4','/dev/vx/dsk/suportaldg/STDBY/oracle4']

  • New Custom OAF project - Directory structure

    Hello,
    I am a newbie to the OAF. I am trying to set up a totally new custom OAF project (using Jdeveloper 9i)
    In our current directory structure under $JAVA_TOP, there is no folder/directory for custom projects. Is there a recommended standard directory structure that needs to be used for custom projects/applications? or is it advisable to set up a new directory and the children directories underneath? If new directory needs to be set up what is the logical structure? Can any one provide an example?
    Thanks,

    Thank you Gyan for the feedback. One last question about the directory structure:
    We have a custom schema in our current Oracle Apps DB (let us say 'zz'). As far as I know there is no specific responsibility associated to this schema. In the current non-OAF prod world, we develop custom forms/reports based of the tables in that schema 'zz'. We tend to think of this schema as a custom module. Eventhough there is no specific responsibility associated to this schema, forms/reports developed of this, would be registered to relavent module. ie., AP, GL, FL, PN etc.
    If I want to use the tables from that schema and build OAF projects/pages, would my directory structure be still the same as I mentioned before but with zz as the module? i.e, $JAVA_TOP/xx/oracle/apps/zz/?
    Thanks,

  • I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac.  The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder

I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto.  I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing.  Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??
    Mitch

    iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
    You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
    How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread

  • Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris 8

    Hey,
    Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.

    I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

  • Is there any way to specify a URL in the servlet-mapping that doesn't need to be in the directory structure?

              I migrated from WebLogic 5.1 to 7.0.2 Something I used to have set-up in 5.1 no
              longer
              works.
              I am using the weblogic.servlet.FileServlet and have the URL "/cxedocs/" mapped
              to this
              servlet. So whenever the URL http://localhost:7001/cxedocs/en_US/index.html
              is used it would use the docHome associated with the /cxedocs/ URL and then append
              the "en_US/index.html" on to it. So let's say d:\temp\en_US\index.html
              But now for WL 7.0.2 it appears that the URL also needs to be in the directory
              structure.
              So it now takes the docHome "d:\temp" adds the URL "/cxedocs/" and then appends
              the
              rest - so d:\temp\cxedocs\en_US\index.html.
              I can't require that the "cxedocs" directory be there. Is there anyway to map
              a certain URL
              without requiring it in the directory structure. I looked at virtual directory
              mapping too but
              it still seemed to require this.
              Any help would be appreciated!
              Thanks!
              -Lori
              

              I opened up a case with support on this. After some research they came back with
              that
              NO there is no way to do this. In 6.0 it was changed to follow the spec which
              restricts this.
              The URL must be part of the directory path.

  • Installation Directory BO/InstallData/InstallCache/ needs a lot of space

    HI together,
    maybe someone of you know a solution?
    We have installed a BO4.0 Enterprise Server, and we installed a lot of patches since now.
    The installation directory (BO/InstallData/InstallCache/) needs now a lot of space.
    Is it possible to reorganise this directory or is it possible to delete some files?
    Thanks in advance
    David

    Hi David Bartuli,
    Run Disk Cleanup you will get some space.
    Right click the drive Select Properties. Click Disk Cleanup....
    If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use Disk Cleanup. It removes temporary files, empties the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of system files and other items that you no longer need.

  • Question re: Blaze DS Directory Structure Following Turnkey Installation

    Hello. I've been building client-side apps with flex for a while and have started getting into backend development.
    I have read up a fair bit on blaze ds and have downloaded the turnkey installation and successfully ran a few of the samples...but i have a couple of questions re: the directory structure if someone could help...i unzipped the turnkey into Blaze_ds folder on the desktop...
    a) .........\Blaze_ds\tomcat\webapps\blazeds\WEB-INF  - could u please explain the concept of the WEB-INF directory and the folders inside it (flex, src, classes, lib, etc.)
    b) ......... \Blaze_ds\tomcat\webapps\samples - there are all the samples in here (eg. testdrive-chat, testdrive-101, dashboard, etc.)...and there is also a WEB-INF and META-INF folders...just wondering why there isn't WEB-INF/META-INF inside each sample folder
    Finally, can someone also let me know the concept of localhost and the port number 8400 and are there any good books on blaze ds?
    thx!

    There's really not much difference. In some cases, you might already have a web application you are using so you could just copy the contents of the blazeds web app into your existing web application.
    Application servers can host more than one web application and a Flex application that uses BlazeDS can be deployed on a different web app than the one where BlazeDS is running or a different server entirely so it really just depends how you want to set things up.
    Hope I'm not just making things more confusing for you. . .
