IStore - evaluation store setup question

We are trying to build evaluation Store (0$ priced items) and integrate with OM by creating orders in entered status instead of creating in booked status. This
store is open for B2C users along with regular store.If I set the ASO: Default Order state at the responsibility level (IBE_CUSTOMER) , then B2C users cannot buy the items from regular store (NON 0$ store). What would be the best way to achieve this. What are the setups required for this from iStore and OC/OM modules.
I would really appreciate your help.

To activate your iPod so you can use it you need (per Apple's 4G spec page):
System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10 or later
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.
It says you need an internet connection for activation.
You can't use the iPod before it is activated.
Can't you find a computer to use for activation? Just do not sync to that computer since that creates problems when you connect to another computer.

  • OER Atrifacts Store Setup and Configuration for CVS.

    Hello,
    My question is related to proper configuration of a CVS based Artifact Store in Oracle Enterprise Repository.
    I've attempted to configure a CVS Artifact Store from within OER's Asset Editor (as described on page 27 of the OER Configuration Guide & pages 92-93 of the OER Admin Guide.) I have also ensured that this new Artifact Store is selected in the dropdown for the Submission Upload Artifact Store system setting on the OER Admin page. However, my configuration settings for the Store appear to be incorrect and I haven't found a CVS example that has been thorough enough to infer the proper settings.
    So I'm hoping someone can assist me who has been through configuring a CVS Artifact Store for OER. I'll try to provide detailed information below with the hope that it may be of assistance.
    First, analogous CVS settings that are configured for my standard CVS plug-in in Oracle Workshop. These settings are for the pserver protocol, but I think they will provide some value to someone who has experience in configuring a CVS Artifact Store.
    The standard Eclipse CVS plug-in settings for our enterprise repository location:
    Connection Type: pserver
    User: sampleuser
    Password: Pa55wd
    Host: dev003
    Repository Path: /cvs/Integration
    This translates to repository location --> :pserver:sampleuser:Pa55wd@dev003:/cvs/Integration
    (Which is the root of our enterprise CVS repository)
    Now…within this repository location above there is a module (Development/OER-POC) that is located in:
    /cvs/Integration/Development/OER-POC
    …and checked out into a project called "Sandbox" located in the default workspace in Oracle Workshop.
    Additionally, within the organization we also have HTTP access to CVS. This previous example XSD I just mentioned has an HTTP URI of:
    http://dev003:8080/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/Development/OER-POC/src/schemas/ExtOfAddrRef/v1/ExtOfAddrRef.xsd?cvsroot=Integration
    Now as I have attempted to properly set up the configuration for the OER Artifact Store I have "translated" the above information into the following entries on the Artifact Store setup screen:
    Name: CVS Enterprise Store
    Type: Raw SCM
    Hostname: dev003
    SCM Location: Integration (??? Not sure if this has been inferred correctly. If not what should be specified here.)
    SCM Type: CVS
    Download Path URI Suffix: cvsroot=Integration (??? Not sure if this correct based in previous information?)
    Download Path URI: (??? Not sure what should be specified here. I have inferred several logical options but they have not worked.)
    Finally, when I referenced page 62 of the ORE Core Registrars Guide PDF the "Additional Development documentation" link (http://devwiki.flashline.com/index.php/B02831) states:
    • "All files from an SCM will be URL addressable. The SCM (or a third party) must provide a way to get a particular file based on a URL. In other words, we are not going to use any client libraries to write code that will retrieve us a file from an SCM. "
    • "Added concept of a 'download path' to an artifact store. For example, consider our development environment. Eclipse will have SCM information (i.e. cvs.flashline.com), eclipse/cvs project information (i.e. projects/framework/modules/com.flashline.geneva.rbac), and file/cvs file information (i.e. /code/com/flashline/geneva/rbac/base/RoleContextPersistBroker.java?rev=1.66). Using this info, a fileinfo's uri can be set. The artifact store will then allow us to specify a download base path such as http://cvs.flashline.com/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/."
    To conclude my questions are:
    1) Based on the comments in the Registrar's Guide it seems clear that the intent of an Artifact Store is purely for the support of downloading the physical artifact that corresponds to an OER asset. I would conclude that "Raw SCM" based Artifact Stores do not intend to support direct check-ins for the various SCM systems. (rather assets/artifacts in Eclipse would be manually checked in from within the IDE environment). If someone could confirm whether this is correct that would be much appreciated.
    2) Based on the information I supplied for the example enterprise CVS repository...what would the appropriate settings be for these fields on the Artifact Store setup screen:
    a) SCM Location
    b) Download Path URI Suffix
    c) Download Path URI
    3) Since the "CVS" SCM Type does NOT specify fields for username and password (unlike when you select other potential SCM Types in the Store setup screen); how should one handle credentials in CVS repositories?
    Thanks in advance to any assistance.
    ~Todd

    Hello user642477,
    I'm facing the same problem.
    It seems to me that the Oracles's guide line don't give enough information. I'll try to fixed it and whether I'm able to do so far I'll be in touch...
    By the way, how could you browse to the link: http://devwiki.flashline.com/index.php/B02831? When I try it so a page cannot be displayed message is displayed.

  • LoginModule with JAAS, setup question for Frank Nimphius

    Hi Frank,
    i am trying to use a custom LoginModule in conjuction with the setup procedure in your "J2EE Security in Oracle ADF Web Applications" white paper. Have you done this before? can you provide roadmap for additional/alternate setup steps needed to use a LoginModule?
    this is my original post from early this week:
    JAAS Setup question
    thanks,
    brenden

    Brenden,
    please refer to the OC4J security documentation which si a part of the Oracle Application Server documentation that can be looked up online here on OTN. Custom LoginModule configurations require OC4J 9.0.4. In addition, this feature also only works with the jazn-data.xml provider and not with OID.
    From the perspective of this whitepaper, the LoginModule will be used by the OC4J container to authenticate users and thus should not require any change in teh paper.
    I haven't yet had the time created an example and document that showcases how to do this. Hopefully christmas will give me some rest to look into this.

  • Workflow Admin Signature Evidence Store Setup

    Hi All,
    We usually purge/truncate workflow history tables periodically for performance reasons. But, business requirements dictate we maintain the proof of approval for some transactions as long as seven years. For this we came to know that oracle provided Signature evidence store setup. Please provide if you any body detailed steps to achieve this
    Thanks in Advance,

    !0.1.2 and 10.1.3 releases don't have a tool to maintain user-properties.xml file.
    You can use any xml editor or tool to edit that file manually. The file contains extended user/role properties which JAZN security provider (Oracle JAAS implementation) does not support in aforementioned AS releases. However BPEL 11.1.1 release relay on new security framework , Java Platform Security Suite(JPS)) which address that issue. IdentityMenagment from JPS would allow to specify all user properties extensions.

  • How to migrate from a standard store setup in a splitted store (msg - idx) setup

    How can I migrate from a standard store setup in a splitted setup described in
    https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite/Best+Practices+for+Messaging+Server+and+ZFS
    can a 'reconstruct' run do the migration or have I do a
    imsbackup - imsrestore ?

    If your new setup would use the same filesystem layout as the old one (i.e. directory paths to the files would be the same when your migration is complete) you can just copy the existing store into the new structure, rename the old store directory into some other name, and mount the new hierarchy instead of it (zfs set mountpoint=...). The CommSuite Wiki also includes pages on more complex migrations, such as splitting the user populace into several stores (on different storage) and/or separate mailhosts. That generally requires that you lock the user in LDAP (perhaps deferring his incoming mail for later processing into the new location), migrate his mailbox, rewrite the pointers from LDAP, reenable account. The devil is in the details, for both methods. For the latter, see Wiki; for the former I'll elaborate a bit here
    1) To avoid any surprises, you should stop the messaging services before making the filesystem switch, finalize the data migration (probably with prepared data already mostly correct in the new hierarchy before you shut down the server, just resync'ing the recent changes into new structure), make the switch and reenable the server. If this is a lightly-used server which can tolerate some downtime - good for you If it is a production server, you should schedule some time when it is not very used so you can shut it down, and try to be fast - so perhaps practice on a test system or a clone first.
    I'd strongly recommend taking this adventure in small reversible steps, using snapshots and backups, and renaming old files and directories instead of removing them - until you're sure it all works, at least.
    2) If your current setup already includes a message store on ZFS, and it is large enough for size to be a problem, you can save some time and space by tricks that lead to direct re-use of existing files as if they are the dataset with a prepopulated message store.
    * If this is a single dataset with lots of irrelevant data (i.e. one dataset for the messaging local zone root with everything in it, from OS to mailboxes) you can try zfs-cloning a snapshot of the existing filesystem and moving the message files to that clone's root (eradicating all irrelevant directories and files on the clone). Likewise, you'd remove the mailbox files on the original system (when the time is right, and after sync-ing).
    * If this is already a dedicated store dataset which contains the directories like dbdata/    mboxlist/  partition/ session/   and which you want to split further to store just some files (indices, databases) separately, you might find it easier to just make new filesystem datasets with proper recordsizes and relocate these files there, and move the partition/primary to the remaining dataset's root, as above. In our setups, the other directories only take up a few megabytes and are not worth the hassle of cloning - which you can also do for larger setups (i.e. make 4 clones and make different data at each one's root). Either way, when you're done, you can and should make sure that these datasets can mount properly into the hierarchy, yielding the pathnames you need.
    3) You might also look into separating the various log-file directories into datasets, perhaps with gzip-9 compression. In fact, to reduce needed IOPS and disk space at expense of available CPU-time, you might use lightweight compression (lzjb) on all messaging data, and gzip on WORM data sets - local zone, but not global OS, roots; logs; etc. Structured databases might better be left without compression, especially if you use reduced record sizes - they might just not compress enough to make a difference, just burning CPU cycles. Though you could look into "zle" compression which would eliminate strings of null bytes only - there's lots of these in fresh database files.
    4) If you need to recompress the data as suggested in point (3), or if you migrate from some other storage to ZFS, rsync may be your friend (at least, if your systems don't rely on ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs - in that case you're limited to Solaris tar or cpio, or perhaps to very recent rsync versions which claim ACL support). Namely, I'd suggest "rsync -acvPHK --delete-after $SRC/ $DST/" with maybe some more flags added for your needs. This would retain the hardlink structure which Messaging server uses a lot, and with "-c" it verifies file contents to make sure you've copied everything over (i.e. if a file changes without touching the timestamp).
    Also, if you were busy preparing the new data hierarchy with a running server, you'd need to rsync old data to new while the services are down. Note that reading and comparing the two structures can take considerable time - translating to downtime for the services.
    Note that if you migrate from ZFS to ZFS (splitting as described in (2)), you might benefit from "zfs diff" if your ZFS version supports it - this *should* report all ofjects that changes since the named snapshot, and you can try to parse and feed this to rsync or some other migration tool.
    Hope this helps and you don't nuke your system,
    //Jim Klimov

  • Mac Pro Hard Drive Setup Question

    Mr. FedEx brought me my Mac Pro today and I'm getting ready to set it up. I'm migrating from a PowerBook G4 17 inch and got the Mac Pro 3.0 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and four 500 GB hard drives. I figure I should do a freash install of Aperture instead of using the Migration Wizard. The question for the night is, how should I handle the four hard drives? Out of the box I see four seperate hard drives labled Macintosh HD. For Aperture, should I use software raid across all four drives or only three leaving the OS drive by itselft for applications?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Sure you can... I got a Raid 0 on two 300Gb drives on my boot drive... They host the OS and my apps.
    The trick is that its got to be a fresh install. You boot with your hardware giag disk and in the menu you have the disk utility. Create the RAID setup and then quit. You can now boot the disk with the OS install and it will recognize it as such.
    Now - a few things to consider. Next version of OS X has Time Machine that that expects a volume (a disk, the whole disk) for it to work. So it would be cool if you find out about it and sort of prepare for it.
    Having said that I would Raid0 two pairs and Raid1 the two. This is called Raid 1+0 or Raid 10. Its a good compromise but if drive 1 AND 3 fail then there is no backup. I would also get an external firewire disk (say 300Gb or 500Gb) and use it as a vault. But that is because I can't think of running the machine with a full backup of what I got, still not a perfect solution.
    The way I got it is using Raid 0 on my OS and Apps (600Gb) with an external Firewire disk for backup. (no Raid 0 - so there is no statistical odds to beat)
    Apeture has two drives. Two Firewire 800 (1Tb) drives, one the library and the other is the vault. The vault also stores the deleted images, so you will have to clean every now and then or it will grow faster than your library.

    We are currently in the process of migrating out vmware infrastructure from HP to UCS.  We are utilizing the Virtual Connect Adapters for the project.  With the migration we also plan on implementing the cisco nexus v1000 in our environment.  I have demo equipment setup and have had a chance to install a test environment, but still have a few design questions.
    When implementing the new setup, what is a good base setup for the virtual connect adapters with the v1000?  How many Nics should I dedicate?  Right now I run 6 nics per server (2 console, 2 Virtual Machines, and 2 Vmotion).  Is this a setup I should continue with going forward?  The only other thing I am looking to implement is another set of nics for nfs access.  In a previous setup at a different job, we had 10 nics per server (2 console, 4 virtual machines, 2 vmotion and 2 iSCSI).  Is there any kind of standard for this setup?
    The reason I am asking is I want to get the most out of my vmware environment as we will be looking to migrate Tier 1 app servers once we get everything up and running.
    Thanks for the help!

    Tim,
    Migrating from HP Virtual Connect (VC) -> UCS might change your network design slightly, for the better of course .  Not sure if you're using 1G or 10G VC modules but I'll respond as if you've using 10G modules because this is what UCS will provide. VC modules provide a 10G interface that you can logically chop up into a max of 4 host vNIC interfaces totaling 10G. Though it's handy to divide a single 10G interfaces into virtual NICs for Service Console, VMotion, iSCSI etc, this creates the opportunity for wasted bandwidth.  The logical NICs VC creates provides a max limit of bandwidth to the adapter.  For example if create a 2GB interface for your host to use for vMotion, then 2G of your 10G pipe is wastes when there's no vMotions taking place!
    UCS & 1000v offer a different solution in terms of bandwidth utilization by means of QoS.  We feel it's more appropriate to specifiy a "minimum" bandwidth guarantee rather than a hard upper limit - leading to wasted pipe.  Depending on which UCS blade and mezz card option you have, the # of adapters you can present to the Host varies.  B200 blades can support one mezz card (with 2 x 10G interfaces) while the B250 and B440 are full width blades and support 2 Mezz cards.  In terms of Mezz cards now, there's the Intel/Emulex/Qlogic/Broamcom/Cisco VIC options.  In my opinion the M81KR (VIC) is best suited for virtualized environments as you can present up to 56 virtual interfaces to the host, each having various levels of QoS applied.  When you roll the 1000v into the mix you have a lethal combination of adding some of the new QoS features that automatically match traffic types such as Service Console, iSCSI, VMotion etc.  See this thread for a list/explanation of new features coming in the next verison of 1000v due out in a couple weeks https://www.myciscocommunity.com/message/61580#61580
    Before you think about design too much, tell us what blades & adapters you're using and we can offer some suggestions for setting them up in the best configuration for your virtual infrastructure.
    Regards,
    Robert

  • New Mac Pro setup questions..

    Hi,
    Just pulled the trigger on a Mac Pro 3gh, 4gb, ATI 1900. I am going to that from a dual 1.42 quicksilver and had some questions.
    It seems migration assistant may not be the best way to go. Is this true, should I reinstall everything? Is it possible to drag and drop apps to the new machine?
    Is it possible to get mail info from another machine to the new one? I have an iMac at home that I have been using Mail with and would like all the email addresses on the new machine at work. My old setup, I was still using Enterouge (sp) and would like to use Mail like at home.

    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

  • New W530 setup questions...

    Just received my W530 in the mail and I've been trying to get up to speed on all the new technology out there and how to properly setup my computer... I've tried various searches but haven't got a clear answer I don't think - here goes: 
    W530 8gb RAM (2x4), K2000, 500 gb HDD with raid option, x64 win 7, hi res screen
    I already bought a Samsung EVO SSD 250GB for the main drive which I will pickup from my US mailbox on Monday.
    The reason I bought the computer is because my 4 year old Acer just couldn't handle the intensity of PlanSwift and On-Centre digital estimating programs for construction. In addition I dabble with Chief Architect Premiere for 3D house design and the Adobe Suite to do graphics stuff for the company, etc., etc. I will likely take some CAD related courses at school as well in the future.
    My plan was to install OS and programs on the new SSD in the main bay and keep current project files on there. All misc pictures, videos and company files and other things on the HDD which would be in the UltraBay. I currently use about 180 GB and have another 250GB stored on an old laptop which I'd like to transfer over so everything is on one laptop. That one will be for internet searches in the garage for dirtbike repairs 
    Questions:
    1. Is it worth getting a 128 GB mSata drive for the OS (under $100 for Crucial)? Then have all program files on SSD in main bay and misc files on HDD in ultrabay? do I need an adapter for the ultrabay or is it already able to accept the HDD in the ultrabay? I haven't popped out the ultrabay yet to see... 
    2. I hear of using the mSata drive for Caching? Is 128 GB enough for OS and caching? When is the caching helpful? Should I use the mSata just for caching?
    3. Do I setup the computer with the OS on the HDD in the main bay and then clone/image it to the mSata drive oro SSD drive? Or do I start with the SSD in the main bay? I'm really confused on this part... 
    4. If necessary I will upgrade the RAM later - I think this is a straightforward upgrade as long as the voltages with the original RAM are the same - is this correct?
    5. I currently use a Sony KDL 40XBR8 TV as a second monitor at work - what connection should I be using to get the best display settings? I currently use an HDMI with my Acer for no particular reason. I also have an Acer 23" at home which will be replaced with another Sony or Samsung TV when we move into our new house... 
    sorry for the noob questions... I am typically really good at finding answers to my questions but i really didn't find any clear answers or they were so technical I didn't realize it was the answer to my question ;-)
    Can someone give me a practical approach to setting up my computer so I can start off right... thanks!!
    Daniel
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel
    ps can't wait to light this thing up with the SSD! It should rip pretty good... 
    | W530 | i7-3630QM | 16GB DDR3 | 128GB mSATA | 250GB 840 EVO | 500GB HDD | 1920x1080 | QUADRO K2000M |

    Hi Daniel.  When I bought my w530 I immediately installed a 256gb SSD. And now, over a year later I'm looking at getting a 256gb mSata for the boot drive. 
    1. The mSata port may only be Sata II but I figure it's not likely that I'll notice the difference.  High transfer rates are really only realized with large files and the OS is usually a large collection of very small files.  But that's just an opinion and your experience may vary.
    For an ultrabay adapter, check out newmodeus.  Quite a few forum posts mention success with this adapter versus the cheap ones from eBay.  I haven't bought one yet myself, but this is what I will get when the time comes.  (they also sell an adapter  to convert your optical drive into an external USB optical drive.)

    Also, search the forum and be aware that there are many who report problems of the w530 kicking out the ultrabay drive, but it seems better with the newmodeus adapter (as I recall; it was quite a while back when I read about it).  I haven't looked at what ncix carries for adapters but would be interested to know if you find something that works.
    And the drives shipped with the w530 come in different heights, and if it doesn't match the height of your SSD you will need rubber rails.  I still haven't ordered mine and I'm letting my drive sit in the overheight internal bay without proper support.   I just carry it very carefully.  I'm not sure of the best place to get rails, direct from Lenovo or elsewhere.  Last time I checked with Newmodeus they didn't sell just rails, but that may have changed (it was quite a while ago that I checked).
    2. Caching only helps if your OS boot partition is on a traditional harddrive.  With an SSD you won't utilize the caching as it won't be any faster (and may be slower).
    3. I would try installing direct to the mSata/SSD instead of cloning.  For a new system it's probably just as easy and less prone to issues.  Windows will take care of alignment, etc., and turning off features unnecessary for SSD (superfetch/prefetch/and all that).
    I also don't believe it necessary to install Win7 fresh.  It depends on your view.  I didn't want the hassle of tracking down a legit copy of Win7 install that I would trust, not to mention the hassle of installing it.  Instead, I made the restore DVD(s) using the Lenovo tools whlie the original harddrive was installed, then switched the drive with the new SDD and restored from the DVDs.  Then I went through and uninstalled any Lenovo software I didn't think was useful.  It's been working nicely ever since and I don't regret not starting with a fresh install.  Your experience may vary, though.
    4. Upgrading ram is very easy.  I'm not sure about specs, but if you don't match voltage and speed the system will downgrade both to the lowest common available.  You should be able to find many discussions about matching RAM voltage on the 'net.  You also would have to wait until your system arrives anyways because you don't know the specs of the RAM in advance (since Lenovo uses different suppliers).
    I'm not sure how much RAM you'd need for CAD software.  I upgraded mine to 32gb because I didn't want to find myself wishing I had more (for software development).  I think I only ever hit as high as 20gb used, and am usually around the 6-12gb mark (depends on how many VMs I have going).
    5. Sorry, I can't answer your video question.  I use the docking station with two monitors via DVI.  I haven't tried HDMI.
    Before you sell off the extra parts, make sure you don't need them for warranty coverage.  Warranty will only cover the system with original parts, so if you have to send in your system you would remove all custom parts and reinstall the originals.  I'm not sure about onsite service, if you have to revert your system or not to original specs.
    All comments I made above were in respect of Win7 Pro.  I have no idea if anything changes under Win8/8.1.
    Good luck!  I hope you enjoy your w530 as much as I do mine.

    This is on the default index.jsp page that installs with Apache Tomcat/4.1.18... at http://localhost:8080/index.jsp which maps to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ROOT\index.jsp

    The first one I tried got me the same error I am getting now.. and since I have tried different versions changing JAVA_HOME
    Right now..
    JAVA_HOME = C:\j2sdkee1.4
    CATALINA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1
    I have no idea what's going on here not having much experience in settting up web servers or java SDKs. But in order to learn the stuff I have planned to I need teh following to get up and running on Win2K.. any help is greatly appreciated.
    Java JDK 1.4.
    Tomcat servlet\JSP engine 4.0.1.
    MySQL database 3.23.46
    If I stick a standard html page in the tomcat root it will show just fine.. so I suspect the whole Java thing is buggin for some reason.

    I ended up uninstalling every java this and that.. and tomcat.
    Then installing only the j2sdk1.4.0_03 SDK.
    Then set up JAVA_HOME for all users and modified the path with full path to the bin (c:\j2sdk1.4.0_03\bin)
    Lastly I reinstalled tomcat and, voila, everything was working.
    It can be quite maddening when you THINK you did everything by the boook and something doesn't work. When you replied and confirmed that I was on the right track.. uninstalling and trying yet again became les frustrating an option.
    Thanks.
    BTW- I needed this env to do the projects in what sems to be a very interesting book.. "macromedia Flash MC application design and development" by Jessica Speigel .. published by New Riders.

  • Family Sharing Setup Question

    Currently, I'm set up where I have an Apple ID that I've been using forever in the iTunes store for music/apps/etc. All the devices in my home are signed into that ID under the iTunes store preferences. Besides that, everyone has their own Apple IDs for everything else (e.g. iMessage, Mail, iCloud backups, etc.)
    Note that as the "head user", my Apple ID is different than the ID used for iTMS.
    This setup has been working just fine for me. Is there any benefit to converting over to Family Sharing? And if so, would there be any weirdness because of how I'm currently set up?

    Hi rlogan814,
    If a member of a Family Sharing group has a redeemed gift card or store credit, those should be billed first before anything is billed against the shared organizer's card, as outlined below:
    Making purchases
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

  • Mail server setup question on mini server

    I want use Mac Mini Server as my emailserver,  I have some question here.
    Is 500G hard-disk enough for storedata? After two or three years, incase 500G already not enough for store all email data, Could I have any solution for this issue? My company has around 100 email user.
    Is Mac mini server can do 7*24job?

    Is 500G hard-disk enough for storedata?
    How long is a piece of string?
    Seriously. Who can answer that question? no one here can. It depends on way more factors than you've given us. The use of IMAP (where messages are stored on the server) vs. POP (where they're downloaded to the client) will also make a difference, as will retention policies (do you require keeping all email correspondence for 5 years? or do you not care if users delete mail immediately?)
    A good starting point, though would be to look at the average size of a user's mailbox now and extrapolate.
    For example, I think I'm a fairly heavy email user and my ~/Library/Mail directory is 5.4GB. If everyone in your company is like me then you'd need 5.4GB x 100 users, or 540GB to store all their mail.
    Most users aren't like me, though, but you'll have to determine that yourself.
    After two or three years, incase 500G already not enough for store all email data, Could I have any solution for this issue?
    Sure. You can add additional storage (e.g. via FireWire or some external mechanism) and migrate mailboxes there. You can even selectively store different user's mailboxes on different volumes. It's all possible.
    Is Mac mini server can do 7*24job?
    Sure. Many people are using the Mini 24/7. I wouldn't say it's ideal for critical systems but using mirrored disk will insulate you from the biggest problem. If this is going to be the main mail system for your company though, you need to consider other elements such as backup and failover (what to do when/if this machine crashes/explodes/is otherwise unavailable).

  • Smart family iCloud/apple id/iTunes/Apps Store setup?

    Currently, we have the following setup:
    Apple ID 1: (gen.appleid), used for:
    Mac App Store for all compurers (desktops & laptops)
    iOS App Store purchasing on Mom & Dad accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices
    Apple Developer / Apple Seed
    iTunes purchases on central OS X Server Computer including Match. This central server runsalways and can be accesses on all iOS devices for Remote, and from AppleTV. Mom and Dad thus have a full copy of their Music library on each account on each desktop
    iTunes purchases on Mom & Dad OS X accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices.
    Used as general Apple ID by Dad (e.g. find my iPhone etc)
    Used for Home Sharing
    Apple ID 2: (mom.appleid), used for:
    Nothing specific yet
    Apple ID 3: (dad.appleid), used for:
    Nothing specific yet, an not even sure it exists already
    Apple ID 3: (child1.appleid), used for:
    iOS App Store purchases of child 1, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
    iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 1
    Apple ID 4: (child4.appleid), used for:
    iOS App Store purchases of child 2, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
    iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 2 (each child has his/her separate iTunes Library with apps & music and own iOS Device(s)
    All iOS devices are synced with their owner's OSX account.
    User accounts are accounts with Portable  Home Directories so everybody can log in on any deskotp/laptop at home and away and get his/her own home directory there. Very nice, even if PHD syncing is not extremely robust.
    This is a bit of a mess.
    Mom & Dads photo's are separated, but they should be shared. There are two cameras, one used by Mom, and one by Dad and the photo's are in each account and sharing is a pain (and duplicates a lot)
    Mom & Dad keep separate full copies of the large iTunes database. These are synched/matched via the gen.appleid account, but it takes up a lot of space.The large iTunes Library has one copy on the central server and two on each desktop.
    All the other iCloud things are not used (e.g. calendar syncing etc.)
    What is a good setup and how can I get their from this setup?

    I assume you are all using one ID at the moment ([email protected]) for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime and iTunes.
    If your husband created his own ID ([email protected]) and your daughter her own ([email protected]), then you could do the following.
    iCloud. Each of you use your own address, this keeps your contacts, calendars, photos, documents etc seperate, it also gives you all your own 5GB of cloud space for this data and back ups of your devices.
    iMessage. If you want to see your daughters messages, then I'd suggest you and your daughter logs in with [email protected] and your husband with [email protected]
    FaceTime. You can't really monitor FaceTime by sharing an ID, so I'd suggest you all log in to FaceTime with your own ID's.
    iTunes & App Stores. I'd suggest you all use [email protected], that way you all have use of the existing purchases of apps, music, books etc.
    In order to share your calendars, there are two ways.
    1. You (or/and vice versa) could use the share feature in the calendar app (Tap calendars at the bottom of the calendar screen, then tap the i next to the calendar you want to share and add your husband to the shared section on the next page).
    2. You (or/and vice versa) can add [email protected] to your device as a secondary iCloud account (settings > mail, contacts, calendars), this allows you to share mail, calendars, contacts, reminders and notes, which you can enable individually as you wish.
