ANI Server fails to start
This problem occurs when you:
Start ANI Server, the server is up for sometime and shuts down with RC as -2 and Info as ANI Server failed to load from the database.
Workaround:
Stop the Daemon Manager. Re-initialize ANI database and start the daemons.
Enter the following command to reinitialize ANI database:
/opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl /opt/CSCOpx/bin/dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=ani dmprefix=ANI
You should not be using this interface to start any CiscoWorks services. Your statup parameters look okay. Either your ANI database is corrupt, or your transaction log is corrupt.
First, set the CiscoWorks Daemon Manager service to Manual, and reboot the server. When the server reboots, delete NMSROOT\databases\ani\ani.log if it exists. Then run:
NMSROOT\objects\db\win32\dbsrv9 -f NMSROOT\databases\ani\ani.db
After that, set the Daemon Manager service back to Automatic, and reboot again. See if the ANI database engine starts. If not, you will need to reinitialize your ANI database with the command:
NMSROOT\bin\perl NMSROOT\bin\dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=ani dmprefix=ANI
/* Style Definitions */
table.MsoNormalTable
{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";
mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;
mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;
mso-style-noshow:yes;
mso-style-parent:"";
mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;
mso-para-margin:0cm;
mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;
mso-pagination:widow-orphan;
font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman";
mso-ansi-language:#0400;
mso-fareast-language:#0400;
mso-bidi-language:#0400;}
We have done reinitializing:
1. Delete NMSROOT\databases\ani\ani.log
NMSROOT\objects\db\win32\dbsrv10 -f NMSROOT\databases\ani\ani.db
After that done
NMSROOT\bin\perl NMSROOT\bin\dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=ani dmprefix=ANI
After reinitializing ANI database took 1 hour to start, output of pdshow command was
INFO: Daemon manager is processing other tasks in the queue. Please try again later.
In RME there is another problem:
JRM Service could be down. Check whether JRM services are running .
Tried to resolve by reinitializingRME
NMSROOT\bin\perl.exe NMSROOT\bin\dbRestoreOrig.pl dsn=rmeng dmprefix=RME
But did not help.
We are attaching some log files...
Thanks in advance...

You are most likely seeing a port conflict between LMS and the Windows RM service. You can either shutdown the Windows Remote Management service, then restart Daemon Manager, or do the following:
* Shutdown Daemon Manager
* Remove ctmregistry* from NMSROOT/MDC/tomcat/webapps/rme/WEB-INF/lib.
* With Windows Remote Management still running, restart Daemon Manager, and EssentialsDM should skip tcp/47001 because it is already in use.

Lync 2010 to 2013 Migration DB issue, central management database.

Hello ,
During Lync 2010 to 2013 migration , on my back end database for Lync 2013 I previously created there data base instances on my lync 2013 BE , (RTC,MON, ARC) THERE DIFFERENT ISTNACE using sql server enterprise 2012 .
Now I want to finish the migration by moving the central management server to the lync server 2013.
my question now I tried to create a new DB instance and I face some issue related the space on the server .
can I use any of the existing isnatce which I created before for the (RTC,MON, ARC) or can I sue the default instance which is created by default with sql 2012 server installation .to install the central management database.
do I need a spate instance ? for the new central management store on my lync server 2013
Thanks
MK

Creating new Data Source Error - Database connection Failed

Successfully installed and configured 11.1.1.3.0. Planning and Essbase dev.
Went to Workspace > Administer > Classing Planning Administration > Manage Data Sources > Create Data Source.
Entered all info about the application database , etc. Getting error "The database connection failed" (I was able to connect with no problem during the install)
SQL server 2005 is on the same physical server.
The diagnostic tool shows database connection passed for planning. A new database was created for the new application.
The server event viewer shows these errors.
"Login failed for user 'xxx-hyperion'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
Group Policy Error "The client-side extension could not apply computer policy settings for 'Default Domain Policy {xxx}' because it failed with error code '0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified.' See trace file for more details. "
The Group Policy client-side extension Group Policy Services failed to execute. Please look for any errors reported earlier by that extension.
Any help is appreciated.

Datasource for the application.
I have created a sql db for this planning application (my datasource). See my first message for more details.
When you create a new planning application, you need to associate it with a data source. Since this is a new install, I don't have any data sources available yet.
So, "To create, edit or delete data sources, click Manage Data Source."
This page lets you validate your connection to the database and essbase server. My essbase server connection validates! The database connection does not validate after I enter all the relevant information.
SCREEN INFO BELOW
Fields displayed with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Data Source Name *:
Data Source Description:
Select Database Platform
Microsoft SQL Server
Application Database
Server * :
Port * :
Database *:
User *:
Password *:
Click "Validate Database Connection"
ERROR ---> Database connection failed.
So it does not let me create a data source for my new planning application, so I cannot create a new planning application.
Thanks in advance.

Issue while installing WCS using omii.ini: Database ping failed

Hi,
I am trying to install WCS on local linux VM. I am following the document 'Oracle WebCenter Sites: Installing on Oracle WebLogic Application Server".
Following are the things I have been able to do successfully:
Install Oracle DB, create a database and then create a user for this database
Install WebLogic server, create domain, create admin server, managed server, and finally create a datasource. THe datasource connection to the DB created in step 1 above is successfull.
I downloaded the WCS installer from Oracle Website 'WebCenterSites_11.1.1.6_bp1'. I am installing using silent installer using omii.ini file.
During installation, on receiving the prompt to install CS and CAS applications, I installed them successfully via WebLogic console.
I tested the URL 'http://localhost:7001/cs/HelloCS' and it showed me the Oracle WCS 11g page.
Now, when I go back to the wcs installation terminal and hit Enter, it gives following error:
[2013-07-11 01:32:21.861][CS.INSTALL][INFO] 1. If your platform requires you to manually deploy the Sites application, deploy Sites now. Otherwise, continue with step 2 2.

It looks like DB ping is getting failed.
But I am not sure how to resolve this error.
Please help. I am pasting the content of my bea_omii.ini file that I have used. (Please view as HTML, as formatting is getting lost on this page.)
Do let me know if any other information is required from my end.

Thanks for your reply Yct.
I got the ping issue resolved today, there was an issue in the data source. Finally I was able to complete the installation successfully.
But there is one more issue now. After completing the installation, I am trying to access the URL to get to the WCS login page, but with no success.
Below, I am mentioning few URLs that I tried, and the outcome:
http://localhost:7001/cs/HelloCS , This URL gives me a page with some static content messages like 'Welcome to Oracle WebCenter Sites 11gR1'. Then there are some text lines in blue color. I think this page is working as expected.
http://localhost:7001/cs/login , this URL automatically gets redirected to the URL 'http://localhost:7003/cas/login?service=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A7001%2Fcs%2Fwem%2Ffatwire%2Fwem%2FWelcome' and I get an error message 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:7003.'
http://localhost:7001/cas/login, this takes me to login page, where when I enter fwadmin@xceladmin credentials, I am taken to JASIG Central Authentication Service page, which is again static, and I can't do anything on this page
http://localhost:7001/cs/Satellite?c=Page&cid=1327351719456&pagename=avisports%2FPage%2FHomeLayout1 , this takes me to the Avisports site, which is functional
http://localhost:7001/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=FirstSiteII%2FFSIILayout&cid=1124747609916&pagename=FSIIWrapper, this takes me to he FirstSit page, which is again functional
Issue: I am not getting the main login page, where I would get 3 sites(Avisports/FirstsiteII) in the dropdown.
Looks like there is something wrong going on.

How to "roll back" the model if a database update fails

I'd like to know if there's a way to "roll back" the model (the values in the managed beans) if a service call to a database fails during the Invoke Application phase. My understanding of the JSF lifecycle is that the values in the model are updated before a service call to a database would happen. If the database update operation fails, it seems to me that the data in the model and the database would be inconsistent.
For example, say I have a ridiculously simple application that updates a names database. The fields are id, last name, first name. The application has a simple view that allows the user to update a name in the database. The user updates the last name field for a particular record from "Doe" to "Smith" and clicks "submit". The request goes through the lifecycle, the model values are updated from the web form during the Update Model Values phase, then the call to update the database fails during the Invoke Applications phase (the database connection failed). When the Render Response phase completes, the UI would display an error message where I put <h:messages> but the last name value in the UI would show "Smith" instead of "Doe". Is there something I can do to roll the model value back to "Doe" if the database call fails?
I know that I could redirect to a technical error page, but I'd like to avoid it unless it is the best thing to do.
I'd appreciate any advice you can offer.
Thanks.

How can I determine what sites are being referenced within Central Admin Upgrade and Migration Manage Databases Upgrade Status?

When I go to Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration > Manage Databases Upgrade Status, I have 2 content databases which have the status:
Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded.
How can I determine which sites are not completely upgraded?

Manage Databases Upgrade Status will provide you all active and offline DB details, you can get same result
using below PowerShell cmdlet.
Get-SPDatabase and Get-SPContentDatabase will provide all active database/Content DB in Farm which include Service application db, central admin DB.
Get-SPDatabase | Format-Table Name, ID
Coming back to your question, if you find that there are some site are not completely upgraded then run below command and understand the cause if issue on specific DB.
Test-SPContentDatabase WSS_ContentDB_Name
If you find any missing file issue in DB then resolve these issue to upgrade content database.
(verify all customizations referenced within the content database are also installed in the web application. This cmdlet can be issued
against a content database currently attached to the farm, or a content database that is not connected to the farm )
Use the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
to resume a failed database upgrade or begin a build-to-build database upgrade against a SharePoint content database
Upgrade-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content

Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control is not working properly

Hello!
I have a problem with Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control, the web console. When I open the browser, instead of showing the login window, it shows the window where three arrows, the database instance, the listener, and the conection, that are red and down.
However they are working correctly, the database is up and working, but the EM doesn't show anything else.
Is there a way to make it work again?
Thanks!

The Enterprise Manager has lost sync with the database.
The only way I know to do this remotely is to tell the OEM to shut down and/or bring up the database - twice. It'll try and fail and perhaps eventually reset it's pointers.
I'd really like Oracle to create a 're-sync to actual state' URL ... there must be an easy way, such as flushing the collected metrics or something.

Metadata Manager Repository configuration failed

Hello,
I am tring to install Metadata Manager. I am running BOE XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.5. I am installing "SBOP Metadata Management XI 3.1 (12.1) on Windows". My database is a local install of MS SQL Server 2005.
I get all the way through the install process and the following error message pops up:
Metadata Management Repository configuration failed with the following error.
The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
SQLSTATE=08S01, SQLCODE=0.
Utility failed with code 4.
You need to re-run the installer again.
Once I click the "OK" button, the install reverses and uninstalls everything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Scott

how are you specifying the SQL Server 2005 server name in the repository configuration screen ?
are you able to ping the machine where SQL Server is running ?
you have to give the Machine Name or IP address in the Repository connection screen, don't give machine\instanceName

Please help!
Samnang.

Hi SSamnang,
According to your description, you come across the error that the specific account already exists. Please help to share the complete error log in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20150102_161500\SSCRuntime_Cpu32_1.log. You could
use google drive to upload the error log following the steps in the article:
https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2424368?hl=en
From the exception help link, we notice that, the issue could be due to that an attempt fails to install SQL Server Native Client on a computer where SQL Server Native Client is already installed.
I recommend you to check if there is already an existing SQL Server Native Client on your computer. If there is an existing one, you could uninstall it and install SQL Server again.
In addition, there is a similar thread for reference:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dc31bffd-c9e2-4630-b5d7-9252b03c24fe/sql-2008-r2-management-tools-install-fails-the-specified-account-already-exists?forum=sqltools.

How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB

How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB?
We have setup a DR environment with a standalone Primary server and a standalone Physical Standby server on RHEL Linux 6.4. Now our application team would like to know:
When the primary DB server is crashed, the standy DB server will takeover the role of primary DB through the DataGuard fast failover. As the applications are connected by the primary DB IP before,currently the physical DB is used as a different IP or listener. If this is happened, they need to stop their application servers and re-configure their connection so the they coonect the new DB server, they cannot tolerate these workaround.
Whether does oracle have the better solution for this so that the application can automatically know the role's transition and change to the new IP without re-confige any connection and shutdown their application?
Oracle support provides us the answer as following:
==================================================================
Applications connected to a primary database can transparently failover to the new primary database upon an Oracle Data Guard role transition. Integration with Fast Application Notification (FAN) provides fast failover for integrated clients.
After a failover, the broker publishes Fast Application Notification (FAN) events. These FAN events can be used in the following ways:
Applications can use FAN without programmatic changes if they use one of these Oracle integrated database clients: Oracle Database JDBC, Oracle Database Oracle Call Interface (OCI), and Oracle Data Provider for .NET ( ODP.NET). These clients can be configured for Fast Connection Failover (FCF) to automatically connect to a new primary database after a failover.
JAVA applications can use FAN programmatically by using the JDBC FAN application programming interface to subscribe to FAN events and to execute event handling actions upon the receipt of an event.
FAN server-side callouts can be configured on the database tier.
FAN events are published using Oracle Notification Services (ONS) and Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ).
=======================================================================================
Who has the experience and the related documentation or other solutions? we don't have the concept of about FAN.
Thank very much in advance.

Hi mesbeg,
Thanks alot.
For example, there is an application JBOSS server connecting the DB, we just added another datasource and put the standby IP into the configuration file except adding a service on DB side like this following:

        <datasources>

'Database logon failed (LO 26603) - Please HELP ME!

Hi everybody...
i need your help for an authentication issue whit LIVE OFFICE connections from Xcelsius2008 to Crystal Report Server 2008.
I've just connected other reports data in Xcelsius2008 but generating the SWF sometimes the SWFs can not logon and refresh the live office objects (ex. Crosstabs).
The error message is the following:
'Database logon failed (LO 26603)'
During the SWF's generation in Xcelsius (Live Office), it requires me the authentication to Logon in the Database, if I insert the correct authentication, Xcelsius refreshes the data (downloaded by CRServer) but before that it shows the Preview, it requires the authentication for Crystal Report Server 2008;
in this windows i select:
Sys: ServerName
User: Admin
Password: Password
Autentication: Enterprise
After this step, for some SWFs the data are refreshed and it works correctly, other times it shows the same error: 'Database logon failed (LO 26603)'
May you explain me why for some "live office connections" i have this problem and other times not?

Hi
    There is a known issue for live office database logon credentials in Xcelsius 2008 Release note document.
    "A Live Office-enabled SWF file using a Crystal Report that requires
database logon credentials will fail to refresh. This occurs because the
SWF file does not prompt the user for database logon credentials, even
if required by the report.
    To ensure the data is refreshed properly, the SWF file and the Crystal
Report must be saved to the same BusinessObjects Enterprise system.
A BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator must then enter the report's
database logon information in the Central Management Console so that
credentials are not required when the report is refreshed."
Woud you please check your LO and see whether it is the reason some work well and some not?
BR,
Sammi

HPCM - Manage Database not creating outline in Essbase application

Hi,
I've created the HPCM application from EPM 11.1.2.1 and I have also created the Stages, POV , Drivers and assignments but I cannot do data entry since the Essbase cube outline itself is not created.
I've gone to Manage Database -> "Deploy Now" several times to no avail . The Application and the Database gets created in Essbase but when I open the outline it is Blank!
My taskflow keeps showing the Status as "Done" but result variable as "Failed". Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong here? Or is there any setting/configuration in HPCM or Essbase that I need to set before I Deploy the HPCM application Calulation database and Reporting database?
Below is the Taskflow message I get :
Taskflow Participant Summary

Hi,
I've got the solution. To solve this problem, you would need to configure the registry of the PC where HPCM client is installed with:
TcpTimedWaitDelay
Registry key=HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Data type=REG_DWORD
Default value=0xF0 (240 seconds = 4 minutes)
Valid values=0x1E to 0x12C (30 to 300 seconds)
MaxUserPort
Registry key=HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Data type= REG_DWORD
Default value=20000
Valid values= 5,000 to 65,534 (port numbers)
In order to do this , you would have to do the following :
1. Create a new REG_DWORD value named TcpTimedWaitDelay. Set the value to decimal 30, which is Hex 0x0000001e. This value sets the wait time to 30 seconds.
2. Create a new REG_DWORD value named MaxUserPort. Set this value to at least decimal 32768 or 65534.
3. Create a new REG_DWORD value named MaxFreeTcbs. Set the value to decimal 6250. (The default is 2000 so you are basically tripling this value.).
4. Reboot the machine for the new settings to take effect.

Jonathan
