Lost and configuration management in WLC

The administration of WLC is lost and we feel the need to boot the WLC to recover the administration once made the reload the WLC loses all the mac-address filter, passwords, and users of visits created in the captive portal

The controller does not have a password recovery mechanism. If you use WCS to manage the controller,
you should be able to access the controller from WCS and create a new admin user without logging into
the controller itself. If you have not saved the configuration on the controller after deleting the user, then
rebooting (power cycling) the controller should bring it back up with the deleted user still in the system.
If you do not have the default admin account or another user account with which you can log in, your
only option is to default the controller to factory settings and reconfigure it from scratch or reload the
previously saved configuration.(You have to have access
through the console port, reboot the controller, and break into the bootloader as the system
boots up.
The system then gives you five options. Select 5. Clear Configuration first. This is the only
option that resets the password, which means you need to reconfigure the rest of the box
again. Then, select 1. Run primary image to boot up the
system again.)

Version and Configuration Management in Oracle Portal

Hello ...
How is version and configuration management applied to real-life, large Oracle Portal applications, where e. g. both development, test, and production environments are used?
The build-in version management in Oracle Portal is inadequate for such environments.
Any suggestions, opinions, ... on this matter would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Poul

In my opinion, Portal has a lot of work to do in terms of configuration and change management. If you are using Portal as an application platform, as opposed to KM, you are better of developing java portlets, so that you can use the SCM with JDeveloper and stay away from the application components. If you do want to use the components, then application export/import is the only way. You can setup your own procedures for handling the exported files (version etc).
You don't really version KM apps. Content is meant to be posted and otherwise administered by content area admins and users. It is not a "application", that must be change managed. There are versioning features available at the item level, which is adequate (but by no means a complete versioning system. Use iFS if you want that).
I have heard quite a few horror stories about exporting and importing content areas.
A 3-system Portal landscape, in my opinon, is overkill and trying to fit an existing approach to a new tool. A test/dev and a production Portal might be more palatable to the IT budget.

Oracle Change and Configuration Management packs

Hi,
We are looking at implementing the Oracle Change and Configuration Management packs.
I would be very interested to hear from anybosy who is currently using these packs.
I have done some preliminary tests, and am getting what seems like a very simple error, but i am at a loss as to how to fix it.
Will respond to replies with exact error and scenario.
thanks in advance.

Hi Nayab,
We are looking to implement the change and configuration management packs, to automate our change control.
As part of my initial testing i have the following scenario...
I have three database (namely TEST_DB, QA_DB and PROD_DB) all configured and manageable in EM.
I have create a sample test schema in TEST_DB with tables, views, sequences, procedures and triggers.
Using EM, i am able to transfer the sample schema (with all objects) from the TEST_DB to the PROD_DB.
If i manually create the sample schema in the QA_DB, i am able to transfer the sample schema from the QA_DB to the PROD_DBm using EM.
When i try to transfer the sample schema from the TEST_DB to the QA_DB i get an error in the synchronization phase.
The capturing of the baseline, and the dictionary comparison phase complete successfully, but when i do the synchronization phase, i get
the follwing error...
SQL> ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Process ID: 0
Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
This seems strange because, it must have been able to see the destination database for it to complete the dictionary comparison phase, so
i cannot understand now why it cannot connect to the destination database to complete the synchronization phase.
any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Version control and configuration management

How is version control and configuration management done for iPlanet6 web
and app servers?

I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you are asking. Neither iWS or
iAS have built in version control or configuration management. But
pretty much everyone integrates them with version control or SCM in some
way. Ranging from the complex (say integrating iAS and Interwoven) to
the simplistic (using CVS to track HTML documents or source code).

Integration Services 2012 - Parameters and configuration management

Our organization has implemented the project deployment model and it works great! It helps has helped us standardize deployment and configuration management. The big plus for us is the fact that we can now run reports on all SSIS
package configurations. There is one challenge though that we have come across. We haven’t found a good way to reuse the same ssis package while passing different parameters from different jobs and still be able to keep the configured parameter
values for each job documented in SSIDB; if you configure each job to pass different parameter values to the same package, the parameters are actually saved under the the job step’s command. The challenge is that there isn’t a clean way to retrieve
those parameters from msdb, unless someone out there has been able to? We need to retrieve the configured values to be able to build a report on all jobs and packages which contain all configured values. This makes our jobs easier when troubleshooting
a problem.
The only work around we have found is to simply create two different packages, one for each job. I have a problem with not being able to reuse a package from a conceptual stand point. I am sure there is someone out there that has come up with a
good solution. Can you please share it?
thank you,
Juan.

Forte and Configuration Management tools

Hello everybody,
We are starting here a project with Forte. It will involve about 15
developers on two sites one in France and one in Germany.
Among other starting tasks, we have been considering using a Configuration
Manager tool connected to Forte. With the Configuration Manager we want to
do version control of the developed code.
Thus we have been experimenting various simple solutions to make backup /
recovery using the plans / workspaces / repositories of Forte using simple
techniques (FSCRIPT scripts + UNIX scripts). It has not been so obvious to
go around the checks that FORTE makes when it "compiles" a plan and when it
"integrates", assuming the public interfaces of some code have changed.
We came to the conclusion that restoring an old "version" of the code of an
application is almost every time a significative task which involves system
administration. One clean way to do it (at least the one we have identified)
requires the creation of a new repository, its loading with the version to
be restored, and from now on developers must use that repository. This
implies that an overall coherent set of code is restored, in fact the entire
application under development. No piecewise restore of let say just a
project, or a class. The backup is simply made by exporting a workspace that
includes the top most plan of our application, and thus automatically all
the supplier plans.
I have read in some articles that there are some experience somewhere of
using Forte with some CM tools of the market; furthermore is it true that
version 3 of Forte will come (link to ?) real and exhaustive functionalities
for CM ?
We have experience here on CCC which has been used on "classical"
development projects. We have some knowledge on ClearCase.
Among other things I expect from a CM tool :
* the ability to see the differences between the various versions of a piece
of code (here a module, there a "plan"), so "what has changed".
* management of checkout : who has checked out what and when.
In addition, cooperation between a CM tool and Forte needs that the CM takes
over some functions of Forte (eg, checkout, integrate, import). Is there a
way to hook "exits" into the Forte workshops ? These exists could then be
shell scripts linking with the CM tool.
I am very interested in discussing the matter more in detail.
best regards,

How to install and configure management agents on Tru64 Cluster

We are busy rolling out the Oracle 10g Grid Control to our enterprise and one of our targets is a two-node Tru64 cluster with shared file systems, i.e., each node can see (read/write) the file systems concurrently. Trucluster software is responsible for the clustering management.
On node1 we have a set of databases each with its own dedicated listener; the same for node2. Each cluster managed service set has its own logical hostname. For example, we have on node1:
db1 (database)
listener-db1 (listener for db1)
node-db1 (logical hostname for db1 service)
Upon switchover or failover, the database and listener are brought up on node2 and we need to cater for this in our management agent configuration. I am trying to work out how we install and configure the management agents in such a configuration. Has anyone done this or does anyone know how to set up the agents suitably?
I have already installed the agent on one of the nodes - that worked fine, and I have even managed to start another agent up using the installed software home on the other node using "agentca -f"

You the Cluster type of configuration. It is documented in the install guide you have

Please clarify license about server managed and configuration manager client ML system center 2012

Could clarify why managed servers License required ,already we bought the configuration manager client ML License ? We are planing to buy system center operation manager 2012

Hello,
if you wants planing to Monitoring your AD with Exchange Server and you have only one physical Server with for example 2 CPUs and 2 VMs, you need to purchase the System Center Standard 2012 R2 SML for Monitoring your Server environement. However, if
your AD is a datacenter or for example 4 x Windows Server Standard with 8 VMs than, you need to purchase the System Center datacenter SML.
the System Center SML is licensed per physical Server: one license up to two physical CPUs. if you have for 2 physical Hosts with 2 CPUs each, you need to purchase two System Center licenses.
the only difference between Standard and datacenter is only about virtualization rights
for System Center Operation Manager for your Clients Desktop, you need to purchase the System Center Client Management Suite includes: Operation Manager; Services Manager; Data Protection Manager and Orchestrator.

Development or Deployment Configuration Management

Forte Users:
I have been using Forte for awhile and have experienced various levels
of pleasure and pain with regard to configuration management. I have
been witness to various strategies for keeping things clean and smooth.
I was at Forte Forum to hear talk and witness some products to help
address issue, but still have only a foggy notion about how to do things
in the here and now.
My request is to gather from some outside chatter and see what other
people are doing. How are people safely managing repositories and
classes in the development environment? Once deployed? Is there a daily
or weekly practice or checklist that addesses configuration issues? Are
people putting together automated processes?
We are actually working to integrate with PVCS today to take care of
some things, but I am really interested in knowing what is working out
there without special tools. Please reply with any insight that may be
shared.
Thanks in advance.

**Any opinions you might see up above are surely mine and USAA has
nothing to do with them.**

don't underestimate the need for cm. someone should find the time to
set the ground rules now. otherwise it's going to be a huge mess later
on. here are some things to consider:
o determine your application's package structure.
o determine your development environment's directory structure (e.g.
classes in ~/apps/classes, source in ~/apps/src ...).
o take the time to stub-out the interfaces between the different
layers of the application and your ejbs. this is really important if
you've vertically separated programming tasks and will allow each team
to write their stuff without regard to other teams. as each team
completes their slice they should fit together seamlessly as long as
the interface hasn't changed. this will take some time up-front, but
it's definitely worth it.
o if you really need to share files (veps...) setup a shared dir or
something. if you're going to share these types of files, the second
point is critical.

MDT integrated with Configuration manager

Hi Team,
Just wondering if it is suggested not to open or use MDT console workbench once its been integrated with configuration manager?
I been using it for a while and never faced any issues. I believe it should be fine to use the MDT and configuration manager both even after they been integrated. I generally use MDT workbench for building image and then use Configuration
manager MDT based TS to deploy it. I don't see any technical risk. Any advice\best practice? Thanks.
Regards,

There should be no problem opening up the MDT console on a machine with ConfigMgr installed, they are separate programs.

Asset Configuration Management

HI,
Could anybody please help me with what is "Asset Configuration Management" in SAP.
Any information on the same ould be appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi,
Its purpose is to reduce the implementation effort and to meet the concrete requirements of your enterprise in the best possible manner. The Asset Management building block can be integrated into existing system landscapes, and can also be used when setting up new systems.
Asset Management is a subledger accounting for general ledger accounting, and is used to manage and document in detail the activities in the fixed assets. The FI-AA system allows you to update the depreciation and the changes to the asset balance sheet value of Asset Management in the general ledger accounting of the SAP ECC System. Different additional cost accounting account assignments can also be made for these activities.
Below functions are peformed in this.
Maintenance of master data for inspection plans, for example, the creation of catalogs and selected sets
General Quality Management Customizing for PP-PI, MM and SD
Customizing for SD including inspection type 06 for returns without a task list, and only with defect recording. The SD Customizing also contains settings for the notification type complaints
Main activities
Master data
Asset transactions
Direct capitalization
Periodic processing
The processing of tangible assets allows the development of fixed assets to be represented and documented for accounting purposes.
Depreciation can be transferred directly to FI Financial Accounting and to cost center accounting.
Please refer below documentation- Asset management and configuration management.

System Center - Service Manager Connecting with Configuration Manager

Hi,
I have System Center 2012 R2 - Service Manager and Configuration Manager (CM) installed, and i have created a connector from Service Manager (SM) to CM which imports data from CM. the question that i have is that is there two way communication
of the data between SM and CM.
Second question that i have is if i have created some change request in the SM, will it show up in the CM as what needs to be completed.
Thanks

wow, that's a big question.
Service Manager is a representational object database. there are objects in the database that represent objects in your environment. Most things in service manager are either Work Items (incident, change request, service request, etc) or config items (servers,
databases, software, users, domains, printers, locations, budget centers, purchase orders, workstations, hard drives, network cards, switches, business services, etc). there are a few other classifications, but for now, lets just deal with those two.
there are also relationships between those objects, showing how those objects interconnect. For instance, say i report a problem. in the database, the user config item object that represents me is related to the incident work item object that represents
my issue by the relationship System.WorkItemAffectedUser, Affected User.
the advantage of this approach is twofold: first, the Affect user on an incident isn't just a text field, it's actually the full object that represents me. so you can click on me and see everything about me that the system knows, and follow other relationships
to see my manager, etc. Second, because everything is related to the full object, i don't need to duplicate any info on the incident, just reference the related object.
So to address your first question, it does everything your IT environment does, assuming you tell it about it.
to your second question, it has whatever information you tell it. Here is where Connectors come into play. the AD connectors can get you Users, Computers, Printers, etc. the Config Manager connector will get you detailed systems info, hardware, and
software (if you have Asset Intelligence turned on). the Ops Manager will get you a lot more info about the systems, Service Maps, health state, etc. And then there's
Provance makes a lot of money selling the DMP to let Orgs import data from vendors. not to mention their Asset lifecycle stuff, or Cireson's for that matter.
TL;DR - a lot.

When converting over to HTTPS and PKI for clients, not all actions are available in configuration manager cpl

I'm not exactly sure which forum heading this should go under so if this isn't correct please let me know or move it on my behalf.
So I am trying to setup Internet Based Client Management in SCCM 2012 R2 and have come across a few articles on how to do so. I think I have mostly gotten it to work but I seem to be having a client issue when deploying new machines. My already
deployed servers seem to have picked up the PKI setting no problem. In the past when I would deploy a new windows client everything would be fine. When i converted over to PKI in my test environment I am now having issues when I go to deploy a
new windows client. I don't get all of the Actions listed in the Configuration Manager control panel. All I have are Discovery Data Collection, Machine Policy Retrieval and Eval, User Policy Retrieval and Eval, and Windows Installer Source list Update
Cycles, before all of them would populate no problem. I have let this machine sit here for several hours and nothing has changed yet. It does say PKI for client certificate. Sometimes when I would deploy new machines it would say NONE for
Client certificate. In my production environment it says self-signed. I have found if i uninstall the client and re-install the client it does populate all of the cycles but I don't understand why it is not working on deployment.
Ok so maybe not all the time that when i reinstall the client it fixes it. I just did an uninstall and reinstall on a test client and all it has under actions are machine and user policy cycles.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I think SCCM client installed before the GPO applied, so you don't a certificate available when it is required.
You can export and import the certificate by using MDT integration, try this blog for PKI part:
