Integration Pack Connector settings wiped and replaced

Greetings all,
I've just experienced a rather concerning issue and have hit a bit of a dead-end trying to identify the root cause.
We have Orchestrator 2012 R2 with several 3rd party integration packs from codeplex such as ones for Sharepoint, AD, Config Manager etc.
Sharepoint IP - http://orchestrator.codeplex.com/releases/view/75877
The other night several runbooks stopped working and we found that ALL of the Integration Pack configuration settings for our SharePoint IP had been completely wiped and two completely unknown entries configured there instead.
From what I can tell, "ybusa.net" refers to YellowBook, which isn't even remotely related to us. The username and Sharepoint site URL are also completely unknown to us. The closest I reference I can find is that Yellowbook is mentioned a few times
as a reference customer for Opalis, and this codeplex post - http://scorch.codeplex.com/discussions/455038
I tried searching the sourcecode of the Sharepoint integration pack but could find no reference to ybusa or YellowBook.
The best guess I can come up with is that an integration pack we are using was written by someone while they were working for Yellowbook, and somehow there is a bit of "default" configuration data buried in the IP or a common binary somewhere that
was triggered somehow and caused this to happen.
It was not the only IP that had configuration settings lost and replaced with strange "default" entries, but not all of the IP's were affected (e.g. official Microsoft ones). So I was wondering if there is a connection between the author of the
impacted IP's and YellowBook.
We were able to restore the database to a point just before the change happened and everything is now back to normal, but as we can find no trigger, cause or connection to why it happened at all, this is now making us rather nervous about the fact it may
happen again.
We've been using these same IP's for quite some time now (>6 months) and there also have been no updates of SCORCH or any Integration packs performed in quite some time.
Any thoughts or suggestions that might help solve this mystery would be most welcome.
Regards,
Scott.

We have a answer - almost forgot to post a follow up about what happened.
The most important thing I learned from this is that importing Configuration configurations will entirely replace any config data that is already present for an Integration Pack.
The culprit was in fact the import of the "SC2012 Solution Runbook Examples" which also applies settings across several Integration Packs.
http://orchestrator.codeplex.com/releases/view/86195
Digging through that code you can see the references to YellowBook.
A colleague has been testing export and import of his own runbooks (which I had checked and cleared as OK), but somewhere along the way he selected the Solutions one. At the time he didn't realise as it imported into a test sub folder that was being frequently
deleted and re-created. He has now been banished to the DEV environment pending a rigorous re-education program :)
So from this I now know:
We have a pretty good DR capability for Orchestrator
Importing has "Global Configurations" enabled by default and will REPLACE all existing config data for matching IPs. The documentation guides I've written for the people here say to unselect the import of Global configurations. That unfortunately
is no protection against Orchestrators desire to make it enabled by default
even more about the Orchestrator DB schema and how to follow the internal object GUIDs to find all the connections they have to each other
Orchestrator still has many many quirks that really need Microsoft to spend some time improving on
Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions.

  • DWCC2014.1 - When Inserting an Image, all code is wiped and replaced with HTML framework containing an iFrame

    I recently upgraded to DW CC 2014.1 on my Mac - which caused me a number of issues. But the one I'm facing right now is very strange.
    Whenever I try to insert an image - either via the shortcut, or through the top level dropdown dialogue - when the file browser comes up, all of my HTML code disappears, to be replaced with a starter template and an iframe. This happens about 90% of the time - but it sometimes works correctly, and I can't figure out why it does work that 10%.
    Usually, I can just cancel the file browser and Undo to get my code back. But occasionally that doesn't work (and neither does Revert), and I have to close the document and re-open to my last save.
    Here's what appears when my code vanishes:
    Anybody know what's happening here? I don't use any specially created shortcuts. I've run into several issues with 2014.1 that have impacted my productivity, and it's getting increasingly frustrating.

    I am experiencing the same issue.
    Environment: Mac Pro 6,1/OS X 10.9.5/DreamWeaver CC 2014.1 6947 Build
    Relevant software: DefaultFolder X 4.6.10 (16690)
    Steps:
    1) Position cursor on its own line in Code panel of Split View.
    2) Press Cmd+Option+I [OR] select Insert > Image > Image
    3) Navigate to image using file browser
    4) Click OK
    5) Repeat the above steps to insert a second image
    Result with DefaultFolder X active:
    1) The first insert completes as expected [OR] all HTML code between opening and closing body tags disappears, and a frame tag with a source attribute pointing to the file itself is inserted after the closing head tag
    2) For subsequent inserts:
    If the first insert completed as expected: If the cursor is indented from farthest-left,  all HTML code between opening and closing body tags disappears, and a frame tag with a source attribute pointing to the file selected in the first insert appears after the closing head tag. If the cursor is not indented, *most* subsequent attempts will reproduce the issue
    If the first insert produced the issue: all subsequent inserts will reproduce the issue, and the frame source will be the file itself
    Result with DefaultFolder X disabled:
    1) The first insert completes as expected [OR] all HTML code between opening and closing body tags disappears, and a frame tag with a source attribute pointing to the file itself is inserted after the closing head tag
    2) For subsequent inserts:
    If the first insert completed as expected: If the cursor is indented from farthest-left,  all HTML code between opening and closing body tags disappears, and a frame tag with a source attribute pointing to the file itself, no matter what file is selected in the file browser dialog, appears after the closing head tag. If the cursor is not indented, *most* subsequent attempts will reproduce the issue

    Hi,
    Where can I get the software ORACLE PROJECT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION PACK FOR PRIMAVERA P6 and Oracle E-Business Suite?
    Suggest me.
    Regards,
    Mini

    It should be possible. However I will suggest you get in touch with your local sales representative for clarifying licensing policy. It may require you to purchase full license of AIA foundation pack and SOA suite.
    Oracle is expected to release new PIP solution for P6 and R12. You may want to wait for that. Search the forum and you will find lot of threads with details.

  • My settings vanished and are replaced by another user's settings from another windows login. how do I get my settings back? Thunderbird also affected!

    My daughter and I have separate windows logins on the same computer. We both use Firefox. Today, when my daughter logged off and I logged on, all of my settings (persona, bookmarks, history, etc) were gone and replaced with hers. My settings are correct in Internet Explorer but Firefox and Thunderbird are using her settings all of the sudden. How do I get my settings back? I have lost all of my emails and everything.

    You have something else on that PC that keeps installing that Yahoo crap, it sure as hell isn't Mozilla. Google is and always has been Mozilla's partner for search engines.

  • How do I locate 5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01 and what does it mean?

    I am just wondering how I can locate this ~5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01~ what is it and what are profiles...on mozilla I have someone remotly doing things to my computer I didn't sign up for,

    1. This is where your main Profile folder is located:
    C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    2. Secondary location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Local Settings\Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    No, don't delete that folder or the files in it. Those files would be re-created the next time you open Firefox. Those files are necessary.
    3. Firefox put that file there, so it knows its' there. Delete it and Firefox will download that data all over again, and put it back in that folder.
    4. Bookmarks are stored in the '''places.sqlite''' file in the main Profile folder, since the Firefox 3 versions.
    Some of those files have been moved around from one major version of Firefox to the next to improve various aspects of "performance" and also to minimize file size for automated personal data backup purposes & for roaming Profiles in a large network setting. The urlclassifier file can get to be quite large, which could really screw-up roaming Profiles on a network server.

  • Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

    Specs:
    iMac 10.8.5
    3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
    I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
    Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
    I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
    It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
    When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
    I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
    When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
    Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
    It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
    Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
    So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
    But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
    This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
    I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
    But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
    While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
    This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
    When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
    I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
    I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
    On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
    Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
    Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
    To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
    Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
    two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
    I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
    When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
    I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
    A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
    I deleted it immediately.
    Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username. 
    So I brought my mac back to the store.
    Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
    I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
    I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
    So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
    PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
    Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • VMWare Integration Pack SOAP Problems when trying to Runbook Tester

    All,
    I am hoping somebody out there can give me some help and hopefully a resolution to my problem.
    For several weeks now, I have been successfully using the VMware Integration Pack in Orchestrator. However, as I tried to make my Runbook's more user friendly by replacing fields with variables I encountered a problem.
    When I now try to run my Runbook via the Runbook Tester when I start to step through I get the following error when I either try to step through the Clone Windows VM or left click on the Icon. (Actually this error occurs for all Integration Pack Objects). 
    ---- THE ERROR BELOW ----
    Details:
    Required parameter password is missing
    while parsing call information for method Login at line 1, column 218
    while parsing SOAP body at line 1, column 207
    while parsing SOAP envelope at line 1, column 38
    while parsing HTTP request for method login an object of type vim.SessionManager at line 1, column 0
    Exception: IntegrationPackException Target site: ServiceBase.Design
    Stack trace at
    Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.VIQIK.ServiceBase.Design(IActivityDesigner designer)
    ---- End Of Error--------------
    So steps to resolve this issue so far.
    1-  Remove and redeploy IP Pack
    2 - Remove Orchestrator Database and Redeploy Database
    3 - Uninstall and re-install Orchestrator
    4 - Restart Servers
    The problem is that when you actually look at the property pages in the Runbook Designer  it talks correctly to the VSphere Server, and you can alter them, but it still won't run.
    The firewall is off, and the VI Client talks to the VCentre server.
    And I have looked in the Runbook Tester logs but it doesn't seem to show any errors.
    So can anybody shine a light on where to look for the problem or how to debug it.
    Cheers
    Alixx

    Hi Frank,
    you should be able to use Variables and Published Data in the Integration Pack for VMWare vSphere.
    If you use a Variable or Published Data in the connection setting you experience an error while designing the Runbook. Use here the Name (one Name) of the connection setting you specified for  VMWare vSphere.
    Make sure, you use the up-to-date version of this IP, until today:

  • Integration pack to create user from template

    Does anybody know if the Orchestrator 2012 Sp1  active directory integration pack has a way to create user from a template?
    I believe there is a create user but not from a template.
    Thanks
    Lance
    Thanks Lance

    Hi Lance,
    you are right. There's no "Create User from template" or "Copy User" Activity in the Integration pack for Active Directory in System Center SP1 or R2.
    Perhaps, you can use "Get User" to get some settings from the template and subscribe the results to "Create User" Activity.
