Installation of EHP4 - Has anyone got this working

Hi All;
I know that SAP will not like to hear this, but the installation of EPH4 using Solution Manager is a frustrating exercise in futility. I have been trying to install EHP4 for over 2 months now and it keeps failing. I have an open HIGH ticket with SAP and they have moved me forward in the installation process due to Bugs in their tools, but once I get 1 bug resolved I quickly hit another one. SAP Support keeps bouncing me all over the place. I feel like I am dealing with a Beta product rather then a General release solution. Furthermore, SAP's support sense of urgency is completely different then their customer base. I have also had our SAP account manager in to express my frustration and while sympathetic to my situation, he acknowledges there is little he can do.
My latest issue is similar to this link:
Re: EHP4 Error in PREPARE_JSPM_QUEUE
Specifically, I have gotten over the ABAP installation and now I am in the JSPM portion. The installation fails on the PREPARE_JSPM_QUEUE phase with the error:

I don't know why we are getting these warning messages since the Kernel files (non-unicode for the ABAP portion) and Unicode for the Java stack are in the /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in subdirectory.
SAP has been in my Solution Manager and confirms everything is setup ok. We have a Linux Red Hat EL 5.0 64 bit Application server that has been successfully upgraded from SAP 4.7 x 110 to SAP ECC 6.0 EHP1.
Our Database server is also Linux Red Hat EL 5.0 64 bit running Oracle 10.2.0.4. Our system is vanillia. We are an IT shop so we lots of knowledgable people in the company and can response to SAP requests quickly (which are slow in coming).
I am also wondering if this warning message is causing any problems. SAP has confirmed that our parameter settings are correct but I wonder since I am getting this message.

Hi NIraj;
Thank you for the prompt reply. In MOPZ I have selected the NON UNICODE portion of the Kernel. Here is a portion of the XML file. I believe this is the area that specifies the NON UNICODE Kernel upgrade. These files are in the /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in directory. Any other ideas?

JSTL Has anyone got this working successfully

Has anyone gotten JSTL or any third party tags to work successfully if so how? I will award points for good answers

Basically you can not work with jstl within sap portal. However, if you are willing to do some work, here is what i did:
At first you have to understand the problem, so here a brief snippet of the generated java source
             try {
                          int _jspx_eval_hbj_page_2 = _jspx_th_hbj_page_2.doStartTag();
                          if (_jspx_eval_hbj_page_2 == Tag.EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE)
                            throw new JspTagException("Since tag handler class com.sapportals.htmlb.taglib.PageTag implements BodyTag, it can't return Tag.EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE");
                           if (_jspx_eval_hbj_page_2 != Tag.SKIP_BODY) {
                             try {
                               if (_jspx_eval_hbj_page_2 != Tag.EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE) {
                                 out = pageContext.pushBody();
                                 _jspx_th_hbj_page_2.setBodyContent((BodyContent) out);
snip some parts
                         } finally {
                              if (_jspx_eval_hbj_page_2 != Tag.EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE)
                                   out = pageContext.popBody();
                    if (_jspx_th_hbj_page_2.doEndTag() == Tag.SKIP_PAGE)
                         return;
               } finally {
                 _jspx_th_hbj_page_2.getBodyContent().close();
                 _jspx_th_hbj_page_2.release();
The generated code is bad and not foolproof:
1. sap wrongly assumes that EVERY tag implements BodyTag. This is just not the case
2. If, for whatever reasons, doStart() throws an exception, the finally block will call getBodyContent().close(), and throw an NullPointerException...
Basically i had to write wrappers of my own, that implemented BodyTag and replace the used classes in the tld-file to point my wrapper classes.
Because of the deficiencies in doStart() your wrapper must not ever return null upon calls to getBodyContent(), even if it has not been initialized.
Of course, this wont get you anywhere near reading your resource bundles within a tag, but thats another story.

Has anyone got iFS working in Tomcat ?

iFS 1.1.9
We have a urgent need to get iFS running in a Servlet 2.2 container and OC4J does not support iFS yet. I know this is not supported but has anyone got iFS working in Tomcat ? If so, pls do me a BIG favour by letting me have your config files, such as
- server.xml
- <tomcat home>\conf\web.xml
- web.xml for the tomcat context)
- wrapper.properties (if you are using tomcat as an NT service)
- tomcat-apache.conf (or equivalent)
- <oracle home>/apache/apache/conf/httd.conf
- A listing of relevant environment variables (by doing a "set>env.lis" or similar)
- and any other files you might think is relevant
Thanks a million in advance.
null

iFS 1.1.9 / Oracle 8.1.7 / Tomcat 4.0.1 / Windows 2000
After several hours of fiddling around with the configuration
files, I finally got the iFS up and running on my test machine.
Briefly here's what I did:
1) create application directories
<tomcat_home>/ifs/files/WEB-INF/classes
<tomcat_home>/ifs/files/WEB-INF/lib
2) Add the following to <tomcat_home>/conf/server.xml:
<Context path="/ifs/files" docBase="ifs/files"
debug="0" reloadable="true">

<Environment name="ORACLE_HOME" type="java.lang.String"
value="oracle_home"/>
<Environment name="ORACLE_SID" type="java.lang.String"
value="sid"/>
<Environment name="LD_LIBRARY_PATH" type="java.lang.String"
value="oracle_home/lib:oracle_home/ctx/lib"/>
<Environment name="NLS_LANG" type="java.lang.String"
value=".UTF8"/>
</Context>
Please replace oracle_home with your installation directory and
fill in your SID as well.
3) create <tomcat_home>/<tomcat_home>/ifs/files/WEB-INF/web.xml
with the following definitions:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>oracle-jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.jsp.JspServlet</servlet-class>

tomcat_home and ifs_home must be replaced with your installation
directories.
4) Copy the iFS and Oracle JARs to the locations specified in
web.xml
You may choose either the applications lib directory or the more
general tomcat_home/lib for that purpose.
One hint on libraries: Tomcat will ignore ZIP files, you have to
use JAR. I renamed Oracle's classes12.zip to classes12.jar for
that reason.
5) Create settings.jar
This was the most tricky part. I packed everything under
ifs_home/settings into the file settings.zip, renamed this to
settings.jar and moved it to the WEB-INF/lib directory. Seems a
bit of a kludge to me, anyone with a better solution is welcome.
6) Start tomcat
7) try http://yourtomcathost:8080/ifs/files/index.html
You should see the ifs login screen then.
One word about the application environment. In this
configuration every user class has to go into
<tomcat_home>/ifs/files/WEB-INF/classes, the
ifs_home/user_classes is of no use here. And don't try to set
the classpath within catalina.bat, tomcat will completely ignore
this setting.
Finally, I know that this environment is not supported but as
long as the iFS servlet meets the standards, every standard
compliant servlet engine should do the job.
Good luck

Back to Mac - Has anyone got it working?

I've hooked my laptop up to another ISP and i can't see my desktop in the Shared Section. When i'm on the same network I can see the desktop, share the screen and all that fun stuff. Has anyone got it working? Could it be my network configuration?

I had a read through the manual that came with Leopard last night and was a little dissapointed to read this part in regard to Back to My Mac:
With your .Mac membership, an internet connection, and Back to My Mac and sharing services turned on, you can access any of your computers from anywhere on the internet."
Sounds like you might need a .Mac account for Back to My Mac. I think you can do the same kind of thing with iChat though so i guess you can still take control of someones Mac over the net to help them fix a problem. But you may need .Mac account to, for example, access your home computer from your work computer.
I could be completely wrong and im certain someone will point this out if i am wrong. Im still getting to grips with all the new features here.

Tomcat 5.5 issues, has anyone got JSF working with tomcat 5.5 yet?

Hi,
Firstly I'm wondering if anyone has got JSF 1.1 working with tomcat 5.5 yet.
I'm trying to move from tomcat 5.0.25 to 5.5.4 and my JSF webapps have not liked the move at all.
The classpath doesn't seem to be a problem as I have all the .jars that are required in the classpath of tomcat just like before.
I see the error log in stdout.log (catalina.out on linux) have been reduced to only show the precise error. Or at least is seems at lot easier to read.
My error is simply
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
SEVERE: Context startup failed due to previous errors
I reverted back to using the examples provided like jsf-guessNumber and the car-demo but neither of these will start-up.
This issue seems to have occurred to lots of other people previously but I couldn't find a particular fix or direct compatability issue with tomcat.
Has anyone encountered this before?

Back again,
Allright well after a little thought I concluded that this issue had to be some to do with the classpath and the changes between the two tomcat versions.
I had a look at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
and noticed that tomcat 5.5 leaves out some important .jar as they are only needed for java 1.4.
-------------------- EXTRACT ------------------------
Installing the compatibility package will add the following to the list, which are
needed when running on J2SE 1.4:
* jmx.jar (Java Management Extensions API 1.2 or later)
* xercesImpl.jar (Xerces XML Parser, version 2.6.2 or later)
--------------------END EXTRACT ------------------------
Therefore I tried putting xercexImpl.jar back onto the tomcat classpath and JSF works once again.
Ah what a relief.

SGD and AquaConnect - Has anyone had this working?

Hiya there,
A while ago I set up SGD as a test system and have more recently configured it to show a few desktops as well as single applications, e.g Windows, UNIX and Linux desktops.
I have a Mac Xserve running a trial version of Aqua Connect to allow users to RDP from their Windows machine to the Mac. I would like to offer this as an extra desktop via my SGD and have been told by Oracle that this is not a supported OS under SGD and that I should ask on the forums...hence my post!
I need to know how to configure it in SGD to allow it to see the Xserve. I have got a little way there in that I can make the SGD give a login prompt but then when I enter the crendentials, it gets stuck in a loop. This is the SGD making this login box appear, not the Mac.
Basically I need to know what to configure the Launch tab under Applications. E.g what the application command, arguments etc will need to be set too.
Has anyone out there ever got this working and is able to offer me a little bit of advice/help at all?
Many thanks in advance,
Best Wishes,
Donna

Probably memory fragmentation. While on the Home screen double-press the HOME button. Then swipe the screen image of each open app up to close the app. When all of the apps have been closed press HOME again, then reset the phone by holding HOME and SLEEP at the same time until an Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

RegisterAlarm - has anyone got this to work?

I'm trying to get the registerAlarm function to work on a real phone, but it only works one time. I want the Midlet to be executed once every 30 sec, but after the first reschedule it stops rescheduling.
Does anyone have a clue on what's wrong? I do everything according to the book as far as I know.
I've looked everywhere, and have not been able to find anyone that actually has got this to work. Is it a bug in Midp 2.0? Does registerAlarm work more than once?
Below is some of my code that SHOULD work (<My midlet...> is replaced with the full name of my midlet class)
protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {
try {
//some code...
destroyApp(false);
} catch (Exception e) {}
protected void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) throws MIDletStateChangeException {
try {
scheduleAlarm(30000);
notifyDestroyed();
} catch (Exception e) {}
protected void scheduleAlarm(long nextAlarmTime) throws ClassNotFoundException,ConnectionNotFoundException, SecurityException {
long nextAlarm = new Date().getTime()+nextAlarmTime;
try {
long t = PushRegistry.registerAlarm("<My midlet...>", nextAlarm);
} catch (Exception e) {}
}

...even starting the Midlet manually to force a rescheduled task won't work, but what is strange, is that if I turn the phone completely off and back on again, I can get it to work one more time.
I'm confused.

E4200 + Vigor 120 ADSL Modem. Has anyone got this to work?

Hi. I am in the UK. I am using the Vigor 120 in its out of the box configuration which passes a PPPoA connection through as a PPPoE giving the router complete control. It works perfectly with my old DLink DIR 635 cable router.
The E4200 cannot get an IP address from my ISP. I have tried many hard resets.
Has anyone actually got these two working together with an ISP that uses PPPoA as it's native standard. If so could you let me know the modem and router settings you used.
Many thanks.

Hi, I'm Not in the UK but have the Draytek vigor120 and LinksysE4200 set up,
Don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure the UK and the New Zealand(where I am) have the same firmware.
What I did was plug the draytek into the wall jack then I plugged the ethernet cable into my computer for a time,
When plugged in launch your browser, navigate to 192.168.1.1(default unless you've changed it) then there should be a page there called Internet options with a PPPoa option, make sure it is configured PPPoA, enter your logon info(optional, doesn't make a difference uless you plan to use the draytek by itself sometimes) then select passthrough on WAN link(or something similar) which is located down the bottom of that page (will grey out pretty much all options, then save it.
Unplug the ethernet from the computer and plug it into the E4200(still connected to the WAN port of the draytek) then plug a ethernet cable(second one) from a computer into port 1. navigate to 192.168.1.1(default for linksys) and select PPPoE out of the options at the top of the page, then fill in your ISP details such as the username and password, click save and then test it(should work-did for me at least)
dont forget to change the wireless security to manual as the defualt is not very secure, think about a MAC address filter if you dont have a huge number of electronics connecting to it.

Has anyone got this problem

Has anyone else got this problem? I Can't open to see my photo's

Double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar, close the Photos app by tapping & holding until it starts to wiggle, tap the red minus sign. Tap the home button when finished. See if doing that fixes things.

Has anyone tried this work-around?

This suggestion for returning Front Row to Lion has been around for a couple of months. Has anyone actually had any luck with it?
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/21/front-row-for-mac-os-x-lion/

Front Row Fix for Lion - Yes I just tried it and it works - Very Simple! Yea!

Front Row in Lion. Has anyone got it working with iTunes 10.5 yet?

I've got it working with pics and movies by using the method in the link below, but not with the library in iTunes 10.5.
http://www.cultofmac.com/106874/use-front-row-in-os-x-lion-video-how-to/

Yes I know. I'm very annoyed that Apple have dropped Front Row from Lion, it removes quite a bit of functionality from my iMac. I use it a lot. I've tried Plex, but don't like it at all.

[Solved] KDE 4.4 Knetworkmanager, has anyone got this to work yet?

Been trying to get knetworkmanager working on KDE 4.4 and haven't got it to work yet. Well initially it did work. Here's the steps I did.
1) Had network running '/etc/rc.d/network start
2) Installed 'kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement'
3) Commented out interfaces in '/etc/rc.conf' and defined dhcp:
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !eth1 !wlan0)
4) Set hostname in '/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf':
[main]
plugins = keyfile
[keyfile]
hostname = pavilion
5) Added 'networkmanager' to daemon array in '/etc/rc.conf'
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng crond alsa hal kdm dnsmasq networkmanager cups netfs)
6) Added 'network' group to user:
gpasswd -a gen2ly network
7) Stopped network '/etc/rc.d/network stop'
8) Brought down interfaces 'ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig wlan0 down'
9) Started networkmanager
/etc/rc.d/networkmanager start
10) Started networkmanager applet (seems to me it was already started but I guess not??)
11) Got connected to network.
After reboot however, the networkmanager applet is telling me 'Unmanaged' when I rollover it, and when I click it it says 'Network Management disabled'. I've tried a couple things (like un-commenting the network devices on the interfaces line and restarting) to no effect. Doesn't seem I'm able to get it up again. Anyone else had luck with this? Did I miss something?

Ah, anti-destin that is exactly what was needed to be done. ... Thank you! Threw be off a bit, it did .
Off-topic somewhere here now, Ok, a good deal off-topic.. looking at the wiki page for configuring I think the wiki under section, 'Disable interfaces' is erroneous. Does NetworkManager really parse rc.conf? I can't think of any reason it would need to. I'm thinking that NetworkManager would naturally scan and then do dhcp on wired, followed by wireless. And for those that do a static ip, they can configure the applet. To test, I put this in my rc.conf:
#eth0="dhcp"
#eth1="dhcp"
#wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !eth1 !wlan0)
And it worked fine. I'm thinking I could erase them and not have a problem.

CF9 and Amazon S3 - Has anyone got this to work?

I've now sorted my other issues and thanks to everyone who helped me with them - I've now moved on to trying to create a set of services that will connect to the S3 cloud and post and retrieve pdf files in our buckets - We need to be able to supply vast amounts of files to client and the cost of that currently is exorbitant in server disk space compared to with using the cloud
I've searched all over the net and picked up a number of ways of doing this - None of which seem to be able to generate the correct signature- I'm currently using the cf_hmac stuff from Adobe
This is my code
<cfobject component="AmazonWebServices.amazons3" name="amazonS3">
<cfset s3ServiceKeys = structNew()/>
<cfset s3ServiceKeys.accessKey = "<MyKey>"/>
<cfset s3ServiceKeys.secret = "<MySecretKey>"/>

<cfset s3serviceKeys.pdfContentType = "application/pdf"/>
<cfset s3serviceKeys.gifContentType = "image/gif"/>
<cfset s3serviceKeys.jpegContentType = "image/jpeg"/>
<cfset s3serviceKeys.requestType = "cname"/>
<cfset deliverDir = "<MyDeliverDir>"/>
<cfset s3Service = amazonS3.init(awsKey="#s3ServiceKeys.accessKey#",awsSecret="#s3ServiceKeys.secret#")/>
<cfdirectory action="list" directory="#deliverDir#" name="TheFileList" sort="dateLastModified" recurse="no" type="file">
<cfoutput query="TheFileList">
<cfset result = s3Service.putFileOnS3(localFilePath="#deliverDir#\#TheFileList.name#",
                                      contentType="#s3serviceKeys.pdfContentType#",

I don't appear to have any problems with what is being passed in - just the signature that is being created - All the code I've found is for earlier than CF9 and I'm therefore wondering if something has changed - although its more likely that I'm doing something I shouldn't be
I need to be able to get stuff up there programatically before I start creating URL's so - this is a big first step to overcome

I've actually found a work around for this problem - I took the Amazon S3 Library for Rest in Java http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=132&categoryID=47 and compiled the files below com into a jar - Which was dropped into the coldfusion server/lib
I then used the examples to build the following coldfusion function
<cffunction name="putFileOnS3" access="public" returntype="any">
        <cfargument name="localFilePath" type="string" required="true" />
        <cfargument name="contentType" type="string" required="true" />
        <cfargument name="bucket" type="string" required="true" />
        <cfargument name="objectKey" type="string" required="true" />
        <cffile action="read"
            file="#localFilePath#"
            variable="content" />
        <cfscript>
            s3conn = CreateObject("java", "com.amazon.s3.AWSAuthConnection");
            s3conn.init("#variables.awsKey#","#variables.awsSecret#");
            s3object = CreateObject("java", "com.amazon.s3.S3Object");
            s3object.init(content.GetBytes());
            headers = createObject("java","java.util.TreeMap");
            contentTypeArray[1] = "#contentType#";
            headers.put("Content-Type",contentTypeArray);
            response = s3conn.put(bucket, objectKey, s3object, headers).connection.getResponseMessage();
            return response;
        </cfscript>
    </cffunction>
Which works perfectly - At last - I've just got to build the rest of the suite now so that we can upload, delete, create URLs etc
Very relieved I found a work around and part of me is very pleased that good old Java provided the solution having spent 9 years as a Java programmer before starting work in Coldfusion

WRT54G V8 and VPN Has ANYONE got this to work

Standard Windows XP SP2 VPN connection.
Default router settings Firmware version 8.0.2
Get the dreaded 619 error.
Worked fine with my old (albeit slow) Netgear router
Using a wired connection to the router.
Internet connection is Charter Cable (Motorola Surfboard 5100)
ANy ideas HOW to make this work

Error 619: -
1. The port was disconnected ,.When using VPN to access a remote network, W2K clients mat get above errors but not win9x and ME clients. This issue occurs because the VPN server hasn't registered in Active Directory.
2.You get this message when connecting via cable modems, dial up DOESN'T have any issues.
Resolution: -
1) This problem most likely is secure issue such as unsecured password. So, check the settings.
2) It could be the hardware issue. Try to re-setup the device or download the new driver or just reset the devices such as modem and router.
3) Reapply the service pack
4) If the RRAS is in a domain network, add the VPN to the appropriate group. To do this, go to Active Directory Users and Computers>domain name>Users, double-click the RAS and IAS Servers security group. Select the members and add the VPN server to this group. 2) Type netsh ras add registeredserver at a command prompt (registeredserver is vpn server name), and then press ENTER.
5) If the router is connectijg to a modem and setup DHCP to receive IP from the modem, you may try to assign static IP to the WAN port on the router.

Has anyone got iSight working when a firewire drive is connected?

I have tried numerous drives but they all stop iSight working. For sure I would not have bought it had I known this. It will work if I disconnect all drives. Irony is that the internal is so slow that I run off a firewire.

I have had problems with connecting an external firewire hard drive and isight camera at the same time. I have problems copying or reading files off my hard drive when my isight camera is connected at the same time. Just the other day, I forgot to disconnect my isight camera when I hooked up my external hard drive to view some old family photos that I scanned in and saved to that hard drive months ago. I kept getting a message that the files could not be read and had an error message. I thought that I had lost all the photos or had not scanned them properly or that my hard drive was going bad. Luckily I remembered that there is a firewire problem when my isight is connected and I disconnected the camera and was able to open the files. It would be nice if Apple could address this problem. I also have problems copying files to my idisk on occassion when my isight camera is connected. It tends to be slow and sometimes the wheel spins for a very long time. Also have noticed that when I copy large number of files at one time to a CD that things seem to never work right. I have learned to copy files in smaller lots and this seems to help.
I love my isight camera and it is so much better than my ibot camera, but wish they could fix the issues with the firewire.
