LDAP Replication and Indexing on DS5.1SP4

Dear experts,
>
We are helping customer to setup a replica directory server that we will replicate data from a master directory server. The master directory server contains 13GB data with index built. We found that search operation failed even we initialized data from master to replica. We need to rebuild index in replica node in order to make search operations work. We have several questions would seek for some help.
1. Is it a must to rebuild index at replica node after initializing data from master ldap console?
2. If indexes are created in consumer node before initialize consumer, do we need to rebuild indexes after consumer initialization?
3. If we export data (db2ldif -r) from master and import data (ldif2db) to replica, do we need to rebuild index at replica node in order to make ldapsearch work?
4. Which one is the best practice?
Any help would be appreciated. Thx.
Kindly regards,
AY

Hi
1. If the index was configured prior to the initialization, it does not need to be rebuilt. However, DS 5.1(SP4) is a pretty old version of DS and there might still be some bug in the indexing code (I know some got fixed in 5.2patch2 or 3).
2. No you shouldn't.
3. No you do not need.
4. Best practice is to configure the Consumer replica before initializing. This should bring the Consumer replica up to date and fully operational.
Another best practice is to use the most recent version of Directory Server (6.0).

Messaging services with ldap replication

using JES2004_q2
Every single component is working fine. Now I am trying to establish the replication with other LDAP for user data. To achieve this I deleted the current ou=People and ou=Groups under my default domain o=xyz.com. And created and initialized NewSubsuffix with the same data for ou=people and ou=Groups under the o=xyz.com on configuration>data.
Replication is working fine with other ldap and as well the search. But messaging is not. On imsimta test come out �5.1.1 unknown or illegal alises� but I can see the user entry in search also I can see the entry msg-admin-test.xyz.com-20040824154024Z, which is required to host the domain and run the messaging services.
Any idea why messaging is not working?

As I indicated replication and search for user entry is working fine as we can see all attributes for entry.
Acess logs at directory server is like that when I try to run ./imsimta test

I know Configuration data is tricking. After deleting the ou=People and ou=Groups under o=xyz.com I can see these ou but once I created these as subsuffix under o=xyz.com I can see the entry for ou=People and Ou=Groups with all the intialized entries under Directory tab > o=xyz.com

Filtered aci and indexing

Hi,
I have a filter ACI:
(target = ldap:///dc=example,dc=com) (targetscope = subtree) (targetfilter="(!(customAttribute=true))")
(targetattr="cn || givenname || sn || title")(version 3.0; acl "aaa Publish name info"; allow (read, compare, search) (userdn =
"ldap:///anyone") and (ip = "192.168.1.1") ;)
Do I have to make "customAttribute" an indexed entry for performance reasons?
I don't want to slow down DS due to the evaluation of this aci.
best regards,
Giannis

Hi,
We're working with ds 5.1 and set up an ACI:
(targetattr = "*")
(target =
"ldap:///ou=HongKong,ou=vpnaccess,dc=test,dc=com")
(version 3.0;
acl "HKAdminACI";
allow (all)
(groupdn = "ldap:///cn=HKAdminG, ou=administrators,
ou=vpnaccess,dc=test,dc=com")
This allows access to only one ou in our tree. When
the user in this group logs into the console they can
search for other objects and view only a limited
amount of attibutes through Users and Groups. We
want this group to view the dn of every object so
they know where they reside in our Directory Tree.
Does anyone know how we can do this?I am not sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish here.
Just two comments:
- the placement of the ACI is important (i.e. the entry holding this ACI). If you place the above ACI into ou=HongKong,ou=vpnaccess,dc=test,dc=com, then you don't even need to use the target keyword
- you probably don't need "all" rights to allow users to search that tree
We tried to add this group to "Set Access
Permissions" on the directory itself under Server
Group and this gave the group full rights to the
whole tree.It's not a surprise, since "all" allows this. For more information about ACIs, refer to the Managing Access Control chapter of the Administrator's Guide (http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5606-10/acl.htm#997355)

IDM in multi-master LDAP Replication

Hi,
We got two functional SUN Java Directory Server in multi-master replication setup. Both server have their own IDM's.
When I change password/uid from any IDM , straightaway changes get done on both LDAP servers and I can see changes on another IDM.
Problem is when I create new user from IDM of one server, user doesn't show up in second server IDM unless I run manually Accounts-->Load from resource.
Even full reconciliation doesn't pickup the new user on that IDM. What need to be done so IDM picks new users straight away in multi-master setup.
Thanks,
Farhan

Any help guys? Whey IDM is not getting update when I add/delete new user in Directory Server. I have to do Load from Resource to get new entries everytime.
And If I delete any user from LDAP, it still stays in IDM.

What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords?

What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords? Any advantages to using one over the other? Do they appear differently in the generated index?
RH9.0.2.271
I'm using Webhelp

Hi there
When you create a RoboHelp project you end up with many different ancillary files that are used to store different bits of information. Many of these files bear the name you assigned to the project at the time you created it. The index file has the project name and it ends with a .HHK file extension. (HHK meaning HTML Help Keywords)
Generally, unless you change RoboHelp's settings, you add keywords to this file and associate topics to the keywords via the Index pod. At the time you compile a CHM or generate other types of output, the file is consulted and the index is built.
As I said earlier, the default is to add keywords to the Index file until you configure RoboHelp to add the keywords to the topics themselves. Once you change this, any keyword added will become a META tag in the topic code. If your keyword is BOFFO, the META tag would look like this:
<meta name="MS-HKWD" content="BOFFO" />
When the help is compiled or generated, the Index (.HHK) file is consulted as normal, but any topics containing keywords added in this manner are also added to the Index you end up with. From the appearance perspective, the end user woudn't know the difference or be able to tell. Heck, if all you ever did was interact with the Index pod, you, as an author wouldn't know either. Well, other than the fact that the icons appear differently.
Operationally, keywords added to the topics themselves may hold an advantage in that if you were to import these topics into other projects, the Index keywords would already be present.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Different b/w index rebuild and index rebuild online

hi..guys could u plz tel me difference between index rebuild and index rebuild online

There is no difference in both the commands. Both will rebuild the index structure from the scratch.But in the first case with only Rebuild, as long as the index, its temporary segment is not prepared and merged together, index is not available for the other users for use. The Online clause makes the index available for others even while being rebuild.
Rebuilding index online has the same concept of creating them online to some extent,

Questions on replication and h/w load balancer

          Why does h/w load balancer have to support passive cookies and inspect them to
          dispatch the request to the primary server first? If we have in-memory replication
          and if h/w loadbalancer just dispatches the http request from the client to any
          of the weblogic servers in the cluster wouldnt this work?
          Is it to pin the session to the creator server to minimize the chance of replication
          misses due to n/w issues, member server slow speed, buffer overwrite etc.
          -Shiraz


Yes, and previous to 6.1 (?) if the request showed up at the wrong server it
          would fail.

DB02 view is empty on Table and Index analyses DB2 9.7 after system copy

Dear All,
I did the Quality refresh by System copy export/import method. ECC6 on HP-UX DB29.7.
After Import Runstats status n Db02 for Table and Index analysis was empty and all value showing '-1'. Eventhough
a) all standard backgrnd job scheduled in sm36
b) Automatic runstats are enabled in db2 parameters
c) Reorgchk all scheduled periodically from db13 and already ran twice.
4) 'reorgchk update statistics on table all' was also ran on db2 level.
but Run stats staus in db02 was not getting updated. Its empty.
Please suggest.
Regards
Vinay

Hi Deepak,
Yes, that is possible (but only offline backup). But for the new features like reclaimable tablespace (to lower the high watermark)
it's better to export/import with systemcopy.
Also with systemcopy you can use index compression.
After backup and restore you can have also reclaimable tablespace, but you have to create new tablespaces
and then work with db6conv and online table move to move one tablespace online to the new one.
Best regards,
Joachim

EDSPermissionError(-14120) problems with LDAP, SSL and Directory Utility

Hello everyone,
Apologies for the repost but I think I may have made a mistake by posting this originally in the Installation, Setup and Migration forum instead of the Open Directory forum. At least I think that may be why I didn't receive any responses.
Anyway, I've been trying to get my head around Open Directory and SSL as they are implemented in Mac OS X Server 10.5 Leopard, and have been having a few issues. I would like to set up a secure internal infrastructure based around a local Certificate Authority that signs certificates for other internal services like LDAP, email, websites, etc.
I only have one Mac OS X Server and it is kind of a small office so I have gone against best practice and simply made it a CA (through Keychain Utility). I then generated a self-signed SSL certificate through Server Admin, and used the "Generate CSR" option to create a Certificate Signing Request. This went fine, but I did have some problems signing it with the CA, because the server documentation suggested that once I signed it it would pop open a Mail message containing the ASCII version of the signed certificate - it did not, and it took me a loooong time to realize that I could simply export the copy of the signed certificate it put in my local Keychain on the server as a PEM file and paste this back into the "Add Signed or Renewed Certificate from Certificate Authority" dialog box in Server Admin. Hopefully this can be fixed in a forthcoming patch, but I thought I would mention it here in case anyone else is stuck on this issue.
Once I did this I was able to use this certificate in the web server on the same machine and sure enough I was able to connect to it with with clients who had installed the CA certificate in their system Keychains without getting any error messages - very cool.
However, I haven't had quite as much luck getting it going with LDAP/Open Directory. I installed the certificate there as well, but have run into a number of problems. At first I could not get clients (also running 10.5.2) to talk to the server at all over SSL, receiving an error in Directory Utility that the server did not support SSL. I eventually discovered that the problem seemed to lie in the fact that the OpenLDAP implementation on Leopard is not tied in with the system Keychain, necessitating some command-line voodoo to install a copy of the CA cert in a local directory and point /etc/openldap/ldap.conf at it, as documented here: http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20071203011158936
This allowed me to do an ldapsearch command over SSL, and seemingly turn SSL on on clients that were previously bound to the directory, and additionally allowed me to run Directory Utility on new clients and put in the server name with the SSL box checked and begin to go through the process of binding. Once this seemed to work, I turned off all plaintext LDAP communication and locked down the service by checking the "Enable authenticated directory binding," "Require authenticated binding," "Disable clear text passwords," and "Encrypt all packets" options in Server Admin. However, I am now running into a new problem, specifically that I cannot successfully bind a local account to a directory account over SSL.
Here's what happens:
1) I run Directory Utility, (or it auto-runs) and add a server, typing in the DNS name and clicking the SSL box.
2) I get asked to authenticate, and type in user credentials, including computer name (incidentally, should this be a FQDN or just a hostname?)
3) Provided I put admin credentials in here and not user-level credentials, I get taken to the "Do you want to set up Mail, VPN, etc.?" box that normally appears when you autodiscover or connect to an Open Directory server.
4) I click through, and am asked for a username and password on the server, as well as the password for my local account.
5) When I put this information in, I get a popup with the dreaded "eDSPermissionError(-14120)" and it fails.
Checking the logs in Server Admin reveals nothing special, and while I have seen a couple other threads on this error and various other binding problems:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5967023
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5982070
these have not solved the problem. In the Open Directory user name field I am putting the short username. I have tried putting [email protected] and the user's longname but this fails by saying the account does not exist. For some reason it does seem to work if I bind it to the initial admin account I created, but no other user accounts.
If I turn all the encryption stuff off I am able to join just fine, so I am suspecting that the error may lie in some other "under the hood" piece of software that doesn't get the CA trust settings from the Keychain or the ldap.conf file, but I'm stymied as to which piece of software this might be. Does anyone have any clues on what I might be able to do here?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hard to tell what is happening without looking at the application
source, knowing what OS & hardware you're using etc. You might want to
try running with different JVM versions to see if it's actually the VM
that is the problem. If you have a support contract with BEA you could
ask support to help you diagnose this.

Ceartion of User Defined Field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES

Hi Experts,
I want to create User Defined Field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES.But while creating the UDF from User Defined Field-Management unable to find the table for it.Write now My Client are using SAP B1 2007 Ptach-08.Is there any way out to create user defined field in EXCHANGE RATE AND INDEXES.
Plz help me out on this issue.
with regards,
Pankaj K and Kamlesh N

Pankaj,
When you do the Manage User Fields area to define a UDF, all the possible areas where UDF's can be created in B1 is listed. You would be able to create UDF's only on these.

Table files and Index files 2GB on Windows 2003 Server SP2 32-bit

I'm new to Oracle and I've ran into the problem where my Table files and Index files are > 2GB. I have an Oracle instance running version 10.2.0.3.0. I have a number of tables file and index files that have a current files size of 1.99GB. My Oracle crashes about three times a week because of a "Write Fault/Failure. I've detemined that the RDBM is trying to write a index or table files > 2GB. When this occurs it crashes.
I've been reading the Oracle knowledge base that it suggest that there is a fix or release of Oracle 10g to resolve this problem. However, I've been unable to locate any fix or release to address my issue. Does such a fix or release exist? How do I address this issue? I'm from the world of MS SQL and IBM DB2 and we don't have this issue. I am running and NTFS files system. Could this be issue be related to an Windows Fix?
Surely Oracle can handel databases > 2GB.
Thanks in advance for any help.

After reading your response it appears that my real problem has to do with checking pointing. I've included below a copy of the error message:

Best practice for PK and indexes?

Dear All,
What is the best practice for making Primary Key and indexes? Should we keep them in the same tablespace as table or should we create a seperate tableapce for all indexes and Primary Key? Please note I am talking about a table that has 21milion rows at the moment and increasing 10k to 20k rows daily. This table is also heavily involved in daily reports and causing slow performance. Currently the complete table with all associated objects such as indexes and PK is stored in one seperate tablespace. If my way is right then please advise me how can I improve the performance of retrival or DML operation on this table?
Thanks in advance..

Well, thanks for valueable advices... I am using Oracle 8i and let me tell you exact problem...
My billing database has two major tables having almost 21 millions rows each... one has collection data and other one for invoices... many reports are showing the data with the joining of Customer + Collection + Invoices tables.
There are 5 common fields in between invoices(reading) and collection tables
YEAR, MONTH, AREA_CODE, CONS_CODE, BILL_TYPE(adtl)
My one of batch process has following update and it is VERY VERY SLOW:
UPDATE reading r
SET bamount (SELECT sum(camount)
FROM collection cl
WHERE r.ryear = cl.byear
AND r.rmonth = cl.bmonth
AND r.area_code = cl.area_code
AND r.cons_code = cl.cons_code
AND r.adtl = cl.adtl)
WHERE area_code = 1
tentatively area_code(1) is having 20,000 consumers
each consuemr may have 72 invoices and against these invoices it may have 200 rows in collection tables (system have provision to record partial payment against one invoice)
NOTE: Please note presently my process is based on cursors so the above query runs for one consumer at one time but just for giving an idea I have made it for whole area.
Mr. Yingkuan, can you please tell me how can I check that the table' statistics is not current and how can I make it current. Is it really effect performance?

'unable to connect' and index.php

Hi.
I am developing a Web Site and index.php is my point of entry.
Document Root     Library/WebServer/Documents
so my path is:       Library/WebServer/Documents/dwwdSite
httpd.conf file is modified to add index.php and have it listed first.
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex   index.php   index.html
<IfModule>
Troubleshooting:
I was using Netbeans IDE and when I ran index.php it opened in the browser.
When I launched 'any' of my index.php files from Netbeans IDE, they opened correctly in the brower
I am NOW using DreamweaverCC and when I run the index.php Error Message ' Unable to Connect'.
For the last 2 days I have been working on this and I am completely stuck.
This morning I thought of another way to test the 'unable to connect' error.
I decided to copy this same file into Netbeans IDE and I NOW get the same Error Message ' Unable to Connect'
when running index.php from Netbeans.
Somehow, my settings are not correctly configured anymore.
Here are my screenshots from Dreamweaver > manage sites.
I believe that this is a rather simple fix that I am somehow not seeing.
Maybe some can spot some mistake.
I appreciate your help and explanation.

Hi Sudarshan.
You have been very kind and very clear in your explanation.
One of the very best that I have ever communicated with on this forum !
I have checked many, many things.
I wanted to make certain that I killed apache and restarted it.
I do not think it is RUNNING at all.
1.
myNameMacBookPro:~ myName$ pwd
/Users/myName
2.
myNameMacBookPro:~ myName$ ps -ax | grep http
1892 ttys000    0:00.00 grep http
3.
myNameMacBookPro: myName$ hostname

5.
myNameMacBookPro:apache2 myName$ sudo nano httpd.conf
myNameMacBookPro:apache2 myName$ sudo apachectl -k restart
Syntax error on line 1 of /private/etc/apache2/users/myNameBU.conf:

httpd not running, trying to start
myNameMacBookPro:apache2 myName$
6.
The above code may be a hint at part of the problem.
I created myNameBU.conf as a backup when I was editing the file.
QUESTION. Why is /private/etc/apache2/users/myNameBU.conf:
being referenced above ?
7.
I scanned my ports from preferences and found these two which I believe are what you stated they should be.
port 80 is html
port 8080 is html-alt
8.
I have modified this line and tried it both ways restarting apachectl each time.
AllowOverride None
AllowOverride All
9.
And here is a part of my httpd.conf.
excerpts.
httpd.conf
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for
# running httpd, as with most system services.
User _www

# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that

# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

I took a look at this too.
usr/bin
#path to httpd binary including options if necessary
HTTPD = "usr/sgin/httpd"
# pick up any environmental variables if test - f /usr/sbin/envvars; then ./usr/sbin/envvars
fi
STATUSURL = "http://localhost:80/server-status

Just a reminder.
I started writing .php scripts with Netbeans IDE.
The programs ran: I got output in the brower. Things worked just fine !
I started writing .php scripts with DreamweaverCC.
The programs NEVER ran.
I have always gotten 'Unable to Connect"
Firefox/Safari can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.'

QUESTION.
At one point I was on the phone with a member of the Adobe Technical Support Team.
They connect to my desktop (only) remotely. I am very cautious about this.
Could something have been inadvertently changed when they did this ?
They do need to connect through a PORT - yes ?
This is very frustrating and I am loosing days of work.
I want to get back to Web Development
I love Adobe products but this should not be such a huge obstacle.
When I called Technical support (after much troubleshooting individually and on this forum)
the fellow told me that the ONLY support FTP - not LOCALHOST.
This makes no sense. People develop 'locally' then put it ftp it in the production stage.
Again, I appreciate your assistance.

Conforming and Indexing Errors, Media Pending, Audio won't play in timeline

I'm working on a desktop PC which is running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and Adobe Premiere Pro (version CS5.5). It's currently utilizing a second gen. 3.4Ghz i7 2600 processor, 16GB of 1600Mhz RAM, 64GB solid-state drive and a ASUS P8Z68-V Intel Z68 Motherboard with onboard audio (Realtek ALC892 chipset) and onboard video. My problem is this:
The conforming and indexing of all of my imported media never seems to finish regardless of how many times I reopen the project file and wait for it. On the lower right-hand portion of the screen, next to the conforming/indexing progress bar, is a little red "X". When clicked, it pops up with a list of errors that read: "An unexpected error occurred while performing a conform action on the following file...". As a result, my audio channels have no waveform and during playback there are no audible tones or levels. On some video clips there's just text that reads "Media Pending". This only appears to happen with project files that I saved on external hard drives, and I suspect it has something to do with the Media Cache Files folder and how Premiere Pro locates these conform/index files. I've also encountered this problem in CS3 and CS4.
I have a few questions:
1) How do I avoid error messages in regards to indexing and conforming
2) How do you know when indexing/conforming has completed itself? (there doesn't seem to be a progress log or a list of commands/executions)
3) Indexing and conforming appears to be an automatic process, but is there a way to do it manually?
4) What's the best way to setup your media cache files when you click EDIT > PREFERENCES > MEDIA?
5) If I have approximately 1 hour of footage, what's an average wait time for conforming/indexing? What about 5 hours of footage? 10?
6) Adobe recommends not editing until the conforming and indexing has completed itself-- how important is this?
7) Sometimes it appears as though the conforming and indexing has finished, but then I still have problems with playback. Do I have to reopen the project for it to continue with the conforming/indexing progress? I've already determined that the video file I'm working with is intact and free of any corruption.
I'm fine with having to wait for a project to conform and index, but it never seems to complete itself! Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Harm filled in pretty much all the salient details, but I'll do another pass here.
1) How do I avoid error messages in regards to indexing and conforming
Two parts here. One, conforming only happens for certain media files, ie the ones where performance is critical and we can't depend on extracting the audio fast enough for realtime playback. That's basically anything in an .mpeg wrapper, or AVCHD material. So if you edit XDCAM HD/EX or P2, or RED, or even AVIs or QT, those formats don't require audio conforming.
If you're stuck editing AVCHD or MPEG2, then it needs to conform. But, that being said, you shouldn't be getting errors in the first place. I think it's related to your external drives. More below...
2) How do you know when indexing/conforming has completed itself? (there doesn't seem to be a progress log or a list of commands/executions)
Nope, you have a progress status bar indicating which file it's working on. If there's an error, it shows up in the events panel.
3) Indexing and conforming appears to be an automatic process, but is there a way to do it manually?
No.
4) What's the best way to setup your media cache files when you click EDIT > PREFERENCES > MEDIA?
While some people like having the check box for having the conform files beside the media, I hate it. Yes, it means that if you move the project to a different system & reopen, it means that you potentially can avoid recreating CFA files, but I find the drive littering not worth it. I much prefer having setting the Media prefs to point to a specific media drive. Usually a raid, if available. Definitely not an external drive that you disconnect & walk away with. If you don't have a permanent raid on your system, then preferably a dedicated internal drive for media (think along the lines as your Photoshop 'scratch disk'). Failing that, leave it on your C: drive, although with a 64 Gig SSD, you probably don't have much room for transient temporaries.
5) If I have approximately 1 hour of footage, what's an average wait time for conforming/indexing? What about 5 hours of footage? 10?
Like Harm said. Totally dependant on the media container & the speed of your drive i/o. The conforming is iterating through the entire file & pulling audio data, so it's not CPU intensive, it's all i/o.
6) Adobe recommends not editing until the conforming and indexing has completed itself-- how important is this?
If you're trying to play/scrub while conforming, it's going to be pokey. Esp. if you're trying to access the file that's actively being conformd. As I just said, we're hitting the files for all the audio. The i/o is being saturated already, so unless you have a stellar raid, you don't have much headroom.
7) Sometimes it appears as though the conforming and indexing has finished, but then I still have problems with playback. Do I have to reopen the project for it to continue with the conforming/indexing progress? I've already determined that the video file I'm working with is intact and free of any corruption.
You should be good to go. Sounds like there's something else at play here.
Okay, back to what I think is wrong: you don't mention what kind of external drives you're using. You're making a bad assumption that blowing away conformed files & doing a reconform is buggy - I doubt it, as that's the same process that happened when you initially brought in the files. I've blown away my media cache folder multiple times and have never seen failures on reconform. So it's got to be one of two things: either a read error from the source when attempting to pull the audio, or a write error to the destination. Now I don't know where you currently are pointing the media cache directory, or what your source drive is, so I can only speculate.
My suggestion is to do some elimination. Copy one of the files that failed on you to your C drive, & target your media cache directory also to C:. Pick a new project, import your copied file, confirm that it conforms correctly & behaves. Then, try to use the same clip from your external drive, keeping the media cache to C:. If that's still good, then try targeting another (local/internal) drive as your media cache target; close/restart, then import the clip from C:, and then import the clip from your external drive. This troubleshooting should give us something.
PS, if you're trying to edit from external USB drives, good luck. I find it a major PITA that I avoid as much as possible. Firewire isn't much better. I know some people do it successfully, but I think it's a road fraught with peril. These devices are generally not designed for heavy duty I/O and a flaky connection or drive is nothing but pain.
Cheers
