Jabber 9.1 Windows - 3 simple questions

Hi,
Jabber 9.1 for Windows
CUPs 8.6.4
Q1. Computer & Phone Control
User logs on to Jabber client from own PC - only has 'computer' control for phone. Does not have option to switch to desk phone. When user logs on to another PC with Jabber client installed, deskphone is enabled and option to switch to computer is not available. Would this have anything to do with the a webcam installed on users own PC ?
Q2. Phone Screen Pop - Suppress ?
Is is possible to suppress the Jabber client popping the phone screen to the front on a per user basis, some like it some don't. Is there a keyboard shortcut to minimise this screen or where will I find keyboard shortcuts for Jabber for Wins ?
Q3. Webex & Incoming call on Jabber
When using Webex, some callers still ring through, all Webex particpants can see who is ringing. Is there a way to suppress this, other than busy out the phone ie to VM when on a presentation ?

All good questions.
1. The webcam should not impact this. Start by looking at Help > Server Health and seeing what's different. The softphone comprises of a TFTP download followed by SIP registration to CUCM while deskphone control requires a CTI connection to CUCM. If it was the same user on different computers I would start by disabling firewall/HIDS software to see whether they could be playing a roll. If that doesn't get you there then it's likely time for a TAC case unless you want to take a stab at reading the logs yourself.
2-3. Not to my knowledge though I have heard this from others. I have heard others ask for the do-not-take-focus request before but suppressing toast (while logical) is a new one. Both of these are reasonable enhancement requests. You could raise them on the Collaboration User Group, where product management generally pays attention, to see if they are already being tracked. If not the only process for an official Product Enhancement Request would be through your Cisco AM.
Please remember to rate helpful responses and identify helpful or correct answers.

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

The registry method does not work with 8.1. I found this out the hard way. Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

No Jabber client for Windows Phone 8.1

Can you advise on when a Jabber client for Windows Phone 8.1 will be released?

Load Balancing Directory Servers with Access Manager - Simple questions

Hi.
We are in the process of configuring 2 Access Manager instances (servers) accessing the same logical LDAP repository (comprising physically of two Directory Servers working together with Multi-Master Replication configured and tested) For doing this, we are following guide number 819-6258.
The guide uses BigIP load balancer for load balancing the directory servers. However, we intend to use Directory Proxy Server. Since we faced some (unresolved) issues last time that we used DPS, there are some simple questions that I would be very grateful to have answers to:
1. The guide, in section 3.2.10 (To configure Access Manager 1 with the Directory Server load balancer), talks about making changes at 4 places, and replacing the existing entry (hostname and port) with the load balancer's hostname and port (assuming that the load balancer has already been configured). It says that changes need not be made on Access Manager 2 since the LDAPs are in replication, and hence changes will be replicated at all places. However, the guide also states that changes have to be made in two files, namely AMConfig.properties, and the serverconfig.xml file. But these changes will not be reflected on Access Manager 2, since these files are local on each machine.
Question 1. Do changes have to be made in AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml files on the other machine hosting Access Manager 2?
Question 2: What is the purpose of putting these values here? Specifically, what is achieved by specifying the Directory server host and port in AMConfig.properties, as well as in serverconfig.xml?
Question 3. In the HTTP console, there is the option of specifying multiple primary LDAP servers, as well as multiple secondary LDAP servers. What is the purpose of these? Are secondary servers attempted when none of the list in the primary list are accessible? Also, if there are multiple entries in the primary server list, are they accessed in a round robin fashion (hereby providing rudimentary load balancing), or are other servers accessed only when the one mentioned first is not reachable etc.?
2. Since I do not have a load balancer setup yet, I tried the following deviation to the above, which, according to me, should have worked. If viewed in the HTTP console, LDAP / Membership / MSISDN and Policy configuration all pointed to the DS on host 1. When I changed all these to point to the directory server on host 2 (and made AMConfig.properties and serverconfig.xml on host 1 point to DS of host 2 as well), things should have worked fine, but apparently Access manager 1 could not be started. Error from Webserver:

In effect, AM on 1 did not start. On rolling back the changes, things again worked like previously.
Will be really grateful for any help / insight / experience on dealing with the above.
Thanks!

Update to the above, incase anyone is reading:
We setup a similar setup in Windows, and it worked. Here is a detailed account of what was done:
1. Host 1: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST1:389)
2. Host 2: Start installer, install automatically, chose Directory server, Directory Administration server, Directory Proxy server, Web server, Access Manager.
All installed, and worked fine. (AMConfig.properties, serverconfig.xml, and the info in LDAP service, all pointed to HOST2:389)
3. Host 1: Started replication. Set to Master
4. Host 2: Started replication. Set to Master
5. Host 1: Setup replication agreement to Host 2
6. Host 2: Setup replication agreement to Host 1
7. Initiated the remote replica from Host 1 ----> Host 2
Note that since default installation uses abc.....xyz as the encryption key, setting this to same was not an issue.
9. Started webserver for Host 1 and logged into AM as amadmin.
10. Added Host 2 FQDN in DNS Aliases / Realms
11. Added http://HOST2_FQDN:80 in the Platform server (instance) list.
12. Started Host 2 webserver. Logged in AM on Host 2, things worked fine.
At this stage, note the following:
a) Host 1:
AMConfig.properties file has
com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host1_FQDN
and
com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
serverconfig.xml has:
<Server name="Server1" host="host1_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
b) Host 2:
AMConfig.properties file has
com.iplanet.am.directory.host=host2_FQDN
and
com.iplanet.am.directory.port=389
serverconfig.xml has:
<Server name="Server1" host="host2_FQDN" port="389" type="SIMPLE" />
c) If one logs into AM, and checks LDAP servers for LDAP / Policy Configuration / Membership etc services, they all contain Host2_FQDN:389 (which makes sense, since replica 2 was initialized from 1)
Returning back to the configuations:
13. On Host 1, login into the Admin server console of the Directory server. Navigate to the DPS, and confgure the following:
a) Network Group
b) LDAP servers
c) Load Balancing
d) Change Group
e) Action on-bind
f) Allow all actions (permit modification / deletion etc.).
g) any other configuations required - Am willing to give detailed steps if someone needs them to help me / themselves! :)
So now, we have DPS configured and running on Host1:489, and distributing load to DS1 and DS2 on a 50:50 basis.
14. Now, log into AM on Host 1, and instead of Host1_fqdn:389 (for DS) in the following places, specify Host1_fqdn:489 (for the DPS)--
LDAP Authentication
MSISDN server
Membership Service
Policy configuation.
Verified that this propagated to the Policy Configuration service and the LDAP authentication service that are already registered with the default organization.
15. Log out of AM. Following the documentation, modify directory.host and directory.port in AMConfig.properties to point to Host 1_FQDN and 489 respectively. Make this change in AMConfig.properties of both Host 1 as well as 2.
16. Edit serverconfig.xml on both hosts, and instead of they pointing to their local directory servers, point both to host1_FQDN:489
17. When you start the webserver, it will refuse to start. Will spew errors such as:

Success!
The server https-host1_FQDN has started up.
The server infact, didn't start up (nothing even listening on 58080).
However, if AMConfig.properties is left as it originally was, and only serverconfig.xml files were changed as mentioned above, web servers started fine, and things worked all okay. (Alright, except for some glitches when viewed in /amconsole. If /amserver/console is accessed, all is good. Can this mean that all is still not well? I am not sure).
So far so good. Now comes the sad part. When the same is done on Solaris 9, things dont work. You continue to get the above error, OR the following error, and the web server will refuse to start:
Differences in Solaris and Windows are as follows:
1. Windows hosts have 1 IP and hostname. Solaris hosts have 3 IPs and hostnames (for DS, DPS, and webserver).
No other difference from an architectural perspective.
Any help / insight on why the above is not working (and why the hell does the documentation seem so sketchy / insecure / incorrect).
Thanks a bunch!

Simple question .... how to add photos to the body of my EMAILS -Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird

Simple question - How do I add photos to the body of my emails . But instead of the answer - Found 1000 results for How do I add photos to my emails for Thunderbird. There are answers that don't apply at all to the question in anyway. Why does it have to be so hard to get a simple answer to a simple question?
Thunderbird is acting much like Microsoft, the every reason I dumping MS Live Mail.

First of all, much help for Thunderbird refers to menus which may not be visible. It would help you and us if you have your menus and toolbars visible.
http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/13_Menus_in_Thunderbird.html
So, open a write window. Enable its menu and toolbar(s).
Now do you see an "Insert" option?
If not, you may be set to compose in plain text, which does not support embedded images.
'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select account}|Composition & Addressing''' and ensure "Compose messages in HTML format" is ticked. If it wasn't already ticked, go back to composing a message. Any better now?
Once you have HTML composition mode going, you can use '''Insert|Image''' or various permutations of copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop into your message body.
A manual, of sorts: http://en.flossmanuals.net/thunderbird/composing-messages/

A very very very simple question

Hi guys,
I have a very simple question and standard but I cant find anywhere...
I have two dateTime variables, i need to calculate difference between this dates in days, thats it.
I tried all functions and tried without success a Java Embed task but I couldnt retrieve this objects as java.util.Date so I couldnt calculate exactly the difference in days like this pure java code:
(dataVencimento.getTime() - dataReferencia.getTime()) / 86400000L)
can you help me this?

Hi Jose
Just see if these alternate approaches works. I know there may be lot like this and you may be lucky to find out simple out of box solution itself. If you want to solve this issue and move ahead, gives these approaches a shot.
1. Create a very simple standalone WebService that takes 2 input date elements (can be of Date type or String type. If string type, convert to date in your java code). Create a simple operation like getDaysBetween(firstDate, secondDate). In the generated webservice impl class, use the java code apis (refer earlier link for usage), and get the difference. Return this value. NOW, invoke this WebService in your BPEL Process, and pass your 2 inputs (if the bpel payload elemetns are date object or string objects of date), and get output, and then use this output in your continuing bpel process.
2. This approach, I did a long back. When we insert any expression using XPath, in that editor window on bottom right side, we see many categories and for each category we see list of functions we can use, like for String, we can use concat etc. I vaguely remember reading somewhere, that we can add our own custom functions also in this section. So explore this direction and see if you can add your own function and then use that fucntion with your 2 input dates.
I have not given solution to your problem, but may be these directions can help you move ahead. Or something along these lines.
Thanks

HT4753 I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

It's actually even easier than using Save As to see the full path to the currently open document. Just do a "Secondary click" on the document title in its window's title bar.
Like you, I relied upon Save As my whole life to check a file's location and considered it a must-have capability. Turns out it's even faster to use the single-click method to reveal the full path to the open document. It displays the entire path to the current document starting from the level of your Mac, and works for files stored on drives as well as iCloud.
If you're not sure how to do a secondary click, go into System Preferences, select Trackpad, Point & Click to find the current preference for secondary click on your Mac. If you happen to have a mouse with more than one button, it's probably the right button. As a trackpad user, I check the box to "Click or tap with two fingers," so a simple two finger tap on the title of an open document reveals its full path. This feature actually has been around for a very long time.
Note that this is not the same thing as the Autosave and Versions menu, which is exposed using a little drop down triangle to the right of the title. There is no visual clue for the presence of this feature - you just have to know it's there, probably because this feature goes all the way back to pre-OS X days.

Simple question - which HD to chose?

Not necessarily. I have one (in the "Pro" line) without any such problem.
With many drives, if you completely erase and reformat it, without loading any of the software that comes with it, those problems are unlikely.
Some will respond to the +Put the hard disk(s) to sleep . . .+ option in System Preferences > Energy Saver, some don't.
Some WDs, however, come with "spin down" programming that's near-impossible to remove.
Well it was certainly the case on 3 FreeAgent drives that I know of, and it was a well known problem that Seagate did nothing about. The drives would spin-down after a short time and cause a fairly long delay anytime drive access was needed.This was a hardware issue and nothing to do with the disk format. seagate provided drive manager software for Windows but not Mac.
I suppose the issue has been resolved in later drives but the point is not to assume that any old external drive is suitable for use with OS X.

A few simple questions

Hi, the company I work for will soon be doing some work with OS X server and in an effort to familiarise myself with the software I have set it up at my home on an old blue and white G3 (sadly the best hardware I have to spare right now).
I would like to configure the server to share the internet, serve web pages and an FTP server and a few other basic tasks, but I keep running into trouble, and would appreciate some feedback on these simple questions. My setup is as follows:
Sympatico connection via ethernet DSL modem (server connects via PPPoE)
2nd NIC on server connected to a 5 port switch
Powermac G5 and Windows XP workstations (currently only testing with XP box)
I have been unable to get the server to share the internet connection, the DHCP server does not seem to be serving IPs (although if I map a static address it works) but either way I cannot browse.
My questions are:
Will this setup work with the server connecting via PPPoE or does it require a static IP from my ISP?
Do I have to configure DNS or can I just enter my ISP's DNS IPs instead?
Is there anyway to return the server configuration to default settings? I tried using Gateway Setup Assistant which didn't work, and I'm worried that it's dropped in some settings I'm not aware of.
I've done some reading on here and while I understand it's easier to let a $50 Dlink router handle NAT I'd like to understand this so I can better advise my client.
Many thanks in advance,
Toby

It is entirely possible to run what you describe, but it's hard to tell what state it's in now (and therefore what changes are needed to make it work).
In general, the steps you should follow are:
1) Get the public network side working so the server can talk to the outside world.
2) Get the private network working between the server and the clients.
3) Run gateway assistant, or manually configure the various parts using Server Admin.
The system shouldn't care whether you're using PPPoE, DHCP, static addresses, or even dialup for the public link, so that's not an issue, and neither should DNS.
Other things to check include the firewall on the server (turn it off during this setup to make sure it's not just a firewall configuration issue).
Also, make sure you're using different subnets on the public and private networks, e.g. don't try to have the server hand out public IP addresses to the clients - that won't work.
Check that your basic network connectivity (e.g. ping) works between the various systems on the network. if the clients can't ping the gateway system then they're not going to go anywhere.

Javac : command not found ?? A simple question.

Hello.
I need to somehow tell linux where to find javac so that I don't need
to type in /usr/local/jdk1.4/javac HelloWorldApp.java every time I need
to run javac. I have seen how to do this in windows but I don't know how to do it in Linux
I know it's a simple question, I'm just new to Linux.
Your help is appreciated.

The answer depends on the shell you use.
The default on linux is bash, so do this: In your home directory there is a file with the name .bashrc. Commands in that file are performed every time you start the shell.
In that file, add the command "export PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.4/bin:$PATH". Then "source .bashrc" so that the change takes effect. You can verify that the directory has been added with "echo $PATH".
If you want to set the path for all users and not just yourself, make the change in the system startup files. This depends on your distro; the right file might be /etc/profile or /etc/profile.local or /etc/bashrc.

Simple Question-Deleting Finder Prefs

I have not been able to shut my macbook down properly. I keep getting the message that "Logout has timed out because Application 'Finder' failed to quit." Someone on the discussion boards suggested deleting the finder prefs and listed:
"Your Account/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist"
"Your Account/library/preferences/com.sidebarlists.plist"
Following these changes, it was suggested to relaunch the Finder through Force Quit window ...
an to then try logging out ...
My question is how to delete the Finder preferences listed above. I have tried and can not figure it out. Sorry for the simple question. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Open a Finder window. Under PLACES in the sidebar, there should be a "home" icon with your user name. Click in that. That's "Your Account" from your post.
Now find the folder called "Library." Double-click on it.
Now find "Preferences." Double-click on it.
Now find the file called "com.apple.finder.plist" and drag it to the Trash. Do the same with the other file. Empty the Trash.
Then go to the Apple menu and select Force Quit... Select Finder and click on Relaunch button.

2. isn't this setting determined by the carrier? So it's not a setting in the phone, but when you call in to your voicemail you can change your options?

Snap function in CS4 After Effect (simple Question)

Windows 7 Ultimate
After Effect CS4
Gentlemen .
A very simple question, since i am more of a Premiere person, it seems like I am stuck with this problem and the problem is
In Premiere its called "Snap" its a tool or function that automatically finds the connecting or starting or ending of a clip.
For example if I have 3 channels of video and I have many cuts, by dragging the edge of a video , it tells or shows me when they are connected
I tried to search , all I find is "Snap to Guides" which in not doing what I want .
If you need more explanation, plz let me know , else hope you can help.
Thanks.
Btw. in Premiere the Snap looks like a "Magnet"

To help you with that we need to know something about your composition settings and the settings you picked in the output module. Anything else would just be a guess. My guess is that you're using some HD footage from a non square pixel aspect ratio format and rendering to the same size. If you pick a square pixel HD format (1080 or 720 both have square pixel frame sizes in the default composition settings) and you put your HDV, DVCProHD, AVCHD, Mpeg non square footage in a square pixel comp it will fit and render out correctly.

Simple Question - what are workbooks/sheets?

I just have a simple question. What are workbooks/worksheets? I read this words in several whitepapers but cant get an answer. I dont have Oracle Discoverer, i just have to make an simple overview of this product for school. Please help me, it stresses me, dont have much time left :( thx If you have use excel and know what's an excel wokbook and excel sheet, then you know the answer. If you Don't, then a workbook it's a sheet container. And sheets are each of the reports/queries that you have in a workbook.
And from the Discoverer manual, in the Glossary:
Workbook: "One or more sheets created and saved together. Each sheet is displayed in a sepa-rate tab in the workbook."
sheet : "A tab in the workbook window. A sheet displays the results of one or more queries."
Hope this helps
