What is the different between JMS Client for sonicMQ 4.0 and sonicMQ 6.1?

hi everybody,
I'm currently in big crisis and hope somebody out there
can give me some guidance.
We have a JMS client developed by an ex-colleague. The jms client was
developed specifically for SonicMQ 4.0. Recently, we are upgrading to
SonicMQ 6.1 and thus, we re-compile his code. Before re-compiling his
code, we had put sonic_Client.jar and sonic_Crypto.jar in the library
directory. There was no error.
We were able to startup our receiver client without error. The receiver
subscribed to the SonicMQ server 6.1 successfully. We could see it in the
SonicMQ Management console. However, when we send a topic, the
receiver client does not consume. All of us had been working day and night
to find out the answer but no progress until now.
We have a couple of properties file and I think, jmsconnect.properties file is
the one been used. This is the content:
# Must enter value if JNDIURL below, is not specified
BROKER=mssonq:2506
JNDIURL=
MODETYPE=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
TOPICCONNECTIONFACTORY=
QUEUECONNECTIONFACTORY=
The previous version that was developed by my ex-colleague is still running
fine in the current production server.
Please let me know if the jmsconnect.properties is correct or wrong. By the
way, what are the major code changes required for jms client that was
meant for SonicMQ 4.0 to get it upgraded for SonicMQ 6.1.
Any help will really appreciate.
thanks & regards,
Kenny

Error when SDM JDBC driver for Oracle

When deploying the JDBC driver for Oracle on PI 7.0, I failed to achive. I got the following trace information from SDM.
After checking the system directory structure, I found that very interesting thing. First I downloaded aii_af_jmsproviderlib.sda from the directory of ../SAP AG/0/3.0...and zip oracle jdbc driver into it, and I deployed the sda file with SDM back to the system with the option update deployed SDAs that hava any version. Curious the sda file was put into another directory of ../SAP AG/1/3.0... a new directory which was just created during the deployment.
This never happen before and is this the reason why deploy failed.

Problem with SDA Deployment for JMS drivers for Tibco EMS

Hi,
I was trying to deploy the latest JMS driver files for TIBCO EMS 6.0.1.
I have followed all the procedure that was given in the note 1138877 and also referred the following article
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00b4a020-4ae6-2c10-5a95-fed4ad9a4b60?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true and followed the step given in that.
But got the following error
Details Message(s):
Messages for component sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.lib:

As per the error message it is mentioning about a missing jar file, but I have added all the required jar file in the sda and updated the same in the provider.xml.
So just wanted to make sure if I have missed anything.
Other thing what i wanted to mention here is, while adding the jar file to the default com.sap.aii.adapter.lib.sda file, there was a jar file named "com.sap.aii.adapter.lib_api.jar", I deleted this and added the updated Jar files for the EMS 6.0.1 drivers, Is this correct or do we need to have this com.sap.aii.adapter.lib_api.jar file as well in addition to the required driver files.
Please let me know your thoughts and if I have missed anything.
Thanks for the help

How can I use one external hard drive for both Time Machine and iPhoto Library?

I have been using a 1 TG LaCie external hard drive for Time Machine backups. My (older) Mac has 160 GB and is almost full. I would like to move my iPhoto Library to the external hard drive, but I've heard Time Machine doesn't share one space well. Should I
1. create another partition (but will this erase what I've already saved) with Disk Utility? *I am running Snow Leopard*
2. create another volume to use for iPhoto, and if so, should the two volumes be of equal size?
3. leave it with one partition and move the iPhoto Library to the same partition with Time Machine back ups?
I know I don't need the entire 1 TG for back up of 160 GBs. Please advise the best path to take. Thank you!

You are getting incorrect information from your ASP. If you look at drive specifications the heat generated is no different for high vs low capacity drives.
I have upgraded the internal drive in my iMac 2007 with a 3TB Hitachi drive without any heat issues or other problems.
Larger hard drives have higher density platters so to access any given amount data the drives travel a shorter distance. Higher capacity drives should therefore run cooler than lower density drives because the drive spends less time spinning to access data.

I had to install Dell Wireless 1702 WiFi +
Bluetooth Driver
The wireless adapter was defined by this driver, however, the Bluetooth still has an exclamation mark in front of it, and when the Dell WLAN and Bluetooth client installation finished, a pop up message said that Windows couldn't install the device
well, although there was a folder added in documents folder named 'Bluetooth Folder'
Yes, the Bluetooth was named with 'Generic Bluetooth adapter' before installing 'Driver above'. However, after installing the driver above, the Bluetooth adapter named with ' Dell wireless 1702 Bluetooth v3.0". But as you see it's
still not working will.
The sceen shot shows the device manger before installing Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver
These screen shots shows the device manger after installing Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver
I've lit windows detect the operating program for this device on the internet, it said "Windows has detected that the operating program of this device is up to date. As this screenshot shows.
What should I do because nothing lift to try? If you have a look at the ninth drivers in my previous message, you will see that no other drivers for Bluetooth lift.
Also, I have tried to install Intel
Centrino Wireless-N 1030 WiFi Driver
But I have been told that "the installation is blocked', This package of installation cannot be installed on your system' I don't know what this
means, is it because Dell Wireless 1702 WiFi +
Bluetooth Driver is being installed
Could you please take some of your preciout time out to read carefully my points below to finish this problem?
first:
Yes, if you had a look at my first post, you would have seen that I really have downloaded and installed the drivers suitable for bluetooth, which was only Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver, which made the bluetooth recognized by Windows 7(64Bit). However, the bluetooth in the device manager still has an exclamation mark as it is shown in the device manager.
I don't have any other drviers which can do more than the what Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver did because I have tried all the drivers listed under 'Network', exept the what are for Etherent.
Yes, when I have tried adding the bluetooth between two laptops(Mohammad and Nasreen). the bluetooth was added for both laptops as you see in these screenshots below:
The Bluetooth devices of Nasreen's laptop whose bluetooth is having some problems in Device mangage.
The Bluetooth devices of Mohammad's laptop whosse Bluetooh is defined well in device manager.
But there is still problem in the device managre as shown in the screenshot listed before.
Second: (Important) That when I want to send files or recieving between two bluetooth added in either laptop, I could send them. Also, when I open the Mohammad's bluetooth added in Nansreen's laptop( screenshot
below), I can show what is inside it.
However, when I open the the Nasreen's bluetooth addd in Mohammad's laptop, I noticed no reponse at all because as you see that disconnected is written in fornt "Nasreen-Pc" as this screenshot:
Although sometimes Nasreen-Pc gets connected as screenshot below, but I am still not able to open the Bluetooth folder of Nasreen-pc from Mohammad-pc. When trying to do that, no response is there.
In other times, Nasreen-pc gets connected for a while, but it comes back disconnected.
Third:: I noticed that the name of Laptop whose Bluetooth was added listed in 'My computer' for the laptop whose Bluetooth is having some problems in the device manager.(First Screen shot below) However,
the name of the laptop whose Bluetooth is having problems wasn't listed on other laptop's "my computer"(Second Screen shot below)
Finally: : when I clicked "right-click" on "Nasreen-PC" and then clicking on "detecting and troublshooting issues", I found that windows informed me that :
But which driver should I reinstall because I have already installed the Dell
Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver almost twice?
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Certain driver packages contain drivers from some of the essential services only and for additional services, separate drivers must be installed. Additionally, the service is installed only if a compatible device is installed (or paired).
Therefore, you are seeing the error.
If you are using the Bluetooth L2CAP Interface and Bluetooth Remote Control services and not able to install the services, you can try unpairing the device, restart the PC, pair the device and then check. If that too fails, you need to install a suitable
driver, sometimes even other OEM drivers solve the issue. You can Bing/Google about this. You can also contact Dell Support for more information.
Balaji Kundalam
Thanks a lot,
I really didn't understand what you mean with in your first part the service is installed only if a compatible device is installed (or paired).
The Bluetooth is integrated with
the laptop, then where other services will come from, all service are related to Bluetooth.
If there are some additional services not related to Bluetooth,
then how can I either let them functioning well or disable them in order to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark
on the name of my laptop in the Device and printers.
Also, I really have installed a
BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) for HP which really defined the same Bluetooth issue,
Device manager after installing the entire setup of driver BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) on HP laptop
but when trying to install the same
BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) on Dell, I faced the error below, although there is an icon for Bluetooth in
the system tray. Also, the Bluetooth is integrated as
you have seen in the device manager.
You didn't answer me: Third:: I noticed that the name of Laptop whose Bluetooth was added listed in 'My computer' for the laptop whose
Bluetooth is having some problems in the device manager.(First Screen shot below) However, the name of the laptop whose Bluetooth is having problems wasn't listed on other laptop's "my computer"(Second Screen shot below)
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Tiger OSX Driver for eMagic AMT-8 - AMT no longer seen in AudioMidi

Can anyone here tell me where to find the driver for the AMT-8? It seems "missing" from the Apple and Emagic websites. AudioMidi is still not seeing the interface although "About this Mac" sees it just fine.
Also, no driver for it in the Library like my other interfaces.
All previous links to the driver are no longer valid.
Thanks!

That link to the Apple site I've looked at a hundred times. You know, if I look one more time MAYBE it will be there this time. The ONLY one I've seen on there that is close is the Unitor Command software, but that's not quite it. Is it hiding in one of the other 3 folders and I'm just too blind to see it?
If you can email it to me that would be great. Just use the: "[email protected]" address so that I can grab it on the road easier.
Thanks Much!

Where can I download a Windows 7 64bit driver for the hp CDDVDW TS-L633N on my cpq60-615DX

EDIT --
I neglected to say that I tried updating the driver from the Device Manager device window and the result was a message saying it could not find a newer driver, that the one installed was correct.
Another EDIT
I also did not say that I have uninstalled the device, through Device Manager. Upon restarting the system, the drive was found and software installed but the problem remains.
Original message follows:
System: CPQ60-615DX

In the process of installing some Roxio software, Creator 9, an unusable driver, are part of one, was installed. Now the device is not working.
When I didn't see on the list of devices on Windows Explorer, I went to Device Manager and found that it was flagged with the "problem" icon (exclamation point on a yellow background).
The General Tab Device Status box contains"

It appears that the Creator install installed part of the driver but not one that functions. It might be a problem with Windows 7 or the fact that this install is 64 bits.
I have searched the HP site and can't find a driver for the device. When I look at the list of drivers available for this system, the optical drive is not shown.
I downloaded and installed the HP driver search program - or whatever it is called - and ran it. There were no devices listed on "Optical Drive" tab when I looked at the results - it could not "see" the drive.
I realize that what I need is probably a generic driver from MS, that's why one is not shown on the HP site, but how do I go about finding the right one for this device?
Is there a generic "one size fits all" driver for Windows 7 which can drive this device?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

Can I format and use a Hard Drive for my mac if removed from a Desk Top PC

Hi All,
I wondered if you can help with some advise. I have a mackbook and love it, will never go back to pc. But, I have a desk top pc with a fairly sizable Hard Drive in it. Even though I also have a WD external Hard Drive for my macbook back up, would I be able to use my old desk top hard drive if I found a case for it to make it an 2nd external hard drive?
Would I be able to format it for use with my mac? Or is it the bin for all the hardware?
Thanking you in advance.
Matt

It'd work just fine. Apple uses pretty much the exact same parts every other computer maker does. The one exception is now they have a temp sensor cable connection built onto drives. Before they just stuck a little plastic clip on them at a specific spot. Other than that, it's no different from any other SATA drive you might buy at the likes of Best Buy or NewEgg. So as long as you partition the drive into a format readable by Mac OS X, there shouldn't be any problems.

How to format an external drive for mac AND pc use

i want to format my external drive so i can use it on my mac and on pc's as well. i've gathered that the MS-DOS format is the way to go. my question is this: would this create any problems for my mac then?
can i partion one part for ms-dos and part for macos extended?
cheers
-j-

MS-DOS format (or FAT32) will be fine for both Mac and PC. However there is a 4GB file size limit with FAT32.
You could use a dual partition, however the HFS+ partition would not be readable by the PC unless you installed the third party MacDrive.
Look at this page for more information on a dual partition drive for Mac and Windows.

I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now. In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want. TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.
