Migrate NW Server with Root Master, CA, and DA Running On It

It looks like I am finally going to start moving our old NW environment over to OES. When we looked at doing this before, it seemed very difficult to move the services in my title over to OES. From what I can tell now though from the docs and forum postings, the process is much smoother. We have three NW65 servers at our data center and one NW65 at each of our 16 remote sites. All are completely patched and running under VMware vSphere for the most part. A few are still running on physical servers, but will soon be moved over.
I would like to start by migrating our main server that is running iPrint for the main site, the CA, the SLPDA, and holds the Master replica of [root]. That particular server was originally 4.10, then 4.11, 5.0, 6.0, and then 6.5 (various migrations and hardware refreshes since about 1996.) It was the first NDS server that was installed in our organization.
I would use the migui tool to move the services and then transfer the server ID to OES. Any tips, gotchas, or things in particular to look at when doing this process? The docs don't go into much detail on these specific services that are critical to eDirectory and SLP to continue functioning properly.
Thanks,
Jason

I did pretty much exactly what you want to do and it worked fine for me.
Check my signature for the process and I've got a separate article for migrating the SLPDA (there's no actual migration tool, you have to do it by hand).
Alternatively you can setup everything from scratch and then move the CA if you want.
I just didn't want to have to deal with changing IP's, etc. plus our Novell Clients have hard-coded DA's in their config because Sun Solaris (at the time) wasn't capable of giving out the slpd options correctly.

Having issues with custom master pages and device channels

I'm working in Sharepoint 2013 and am attempting to create a custom master page that is to be used by mobile devices. I have created an html file and a custom css file that includes snippets from the design manager. The file appears to preview fine in a
browser from Microsoft Web Expression. I have loaded the html file into sharepoint via design manager, so the master file is there as well. The css files are in the style library for the site collection and I have created a device channel including user agent
strings for iphones going back to the iPhone 4 and operating systems going back to iOS 6. I have obviously assigned my custom "mobile" master for that device channel and I have turned off mobile browsing. However when I open the site on my phone
it shows the normal full desktop view and not my custom master. I will include my html code, my css and a screenshot of my device channel below. Please help!

Hi,
The issue is likely not your HTML Master Page but your user agent string. Try a user agent string of just "iphone". To test your master page, you could also set the user agent to "MSIE", which should cause this master page to load for
any version of IE. This will help you debug the master page as well in your normal browser.

Oracle Mobile Server with SQLLite/Berkeley Db and dbsql

Hi all,
i am not sure if i am correct here but hopefully i am.
In the past we have had Oracle Mobile Server with Oracle Lite.
We decided to switch to new mobile Server because oracle webtogo is not longer supported and incompatible with windows 7. My administrator did migration of mobile server but migration utility reported that the available applications are incompatible.
So I decided to create a completely New Publication with a Java application. The new Publication contains only one publication Item. For the first tests I simply wanted to spool out the data contained in my local database.
In bin directory of sqlite folder i can find a utility named "dbsql". I understood it in this way that I can attach to an existing database file and take a look into that database.
If i call dbsql.exe BerkeleyTest all seems to be ok. But if i try to select some data from that file i only get the errormessage that databse is in wrong format or encrypted. What am i doing wrong there?
Am I right that the sql interface (I need that interface because I dont want to rewrite dataaccesslayer of my app) is only available in sqlite but not on "BerkeleyDb"?
Is anyone here to help me a little bit with my problem here?
Regards!
Martin

I do not know much about Oracle Mobile Server with Oracle Lite, does it use SQLite or BDB? I do know that databases created by SQLite cannot be read by Berkeley DB SQL (of which dbsql.exe is part of), and databases created by Berkeley DB SQL cannot be read by SQLite. Also, databases created by Berkeley DB outside of the SQL API cannot be read by the BDB SQL API. You can open BDB SQL databases with BDB outside of the SQL API, but I would not recommend that outside of a few BDB utilities described in the documentation. So if your BerkeleyTest database was created by SQLite or BDB outside of the SQL API, then it makes sense that dbsql.exe is returning an error when trying to read it.
Calling dbsql.exe BerkeleyTest does not open the database, that happens when the first operation is performed on it, which is why you did not get an error until you tried to select something.

How to set up a mail server with a private DNS and relay over a public mail

How to set up the mail server that we can send and pick up emails inside and outside?
Our private network has the DNS name dnsname1.private.
We have our privat DNS Server and he can forward requests to outside over our router.
Our public emails are hosted by an internet provider. This dns name is dnsname2.com and dnsname2.org.
How we have to set up our mail server that we can pick up our emails from our public dnsname2.com?
And when we write an email how we have to set up it that the dnsname is dansname2.com and not dnsname1.private?

If you want to move your mailservice to your own (internal) server, start by making sure you can recieve traffic on port TCP 25 (SMTP). Some ISPs blocks this port, especially on "non business" connections.
Can you send mail from your LAN directly to where your mail is hosted using port 25 TCP or do you have to relay via your ISP?
You have a static public IP?

Project Server 2010 - Error 20010 with a master project and 3 sub-projects during publication

Hi,
Here is the situation :
One master project with three sub projects.
Sub projects are really similar (Same ressources and nearly same tasks but only the first contain real work for now).
Sub projects got no sub projects nor links between projects.
The owner of the master project got read rights through projects permissions on sub projects.
Sub projects are link in "read only".
We applied Project Server 2010 SP2 last week end and the issue appeared monday.
Here are the symptoms :
When we link only one sub project (Doesn't matter which one), the owner can publish, no problems.
With 2 sub projects, the error may occur.
With 3 sub projects, the error always occurs.
With admin rights, the error doesn't occur.
Here is the error :
ID : 20010 (0x4E2A)
Description : You don't have required permissions to perform the action (Average traduction)
Detail : <detail><errinfo><general><class name="Project"><error id="20010" name="GeneralSecurityAccessDenied" uid="19515c1d-2624-466f-953a-b7fc67337b81"/></class></general></errinfo></detail>
I'm unable to determine which sub project is the culprit, if there is one, as it's working when I link only one of them.
Thanks for your time !

Fylim --
If the project manager in question does not need to edit any of the three projects, the PM does not need to have Read/Write access to any of the three projects. Because you said that the PM needs to set links in all three projects, this means that
the PM will be editing all three projects. In order to edit the three projects, the PM must have Read/Write access to all three. Setting cross-project links constitutes editing of the projects, which is why the PM must have Read/Write permission.
Make sense?
Regarding SP2, I am not aware that this would change anything, but I could be wrong. The reality is that regardless of which SP you have applied to Microsoft Project and Project Server 2010, the PM in this situation MUST have Read/Write access to the
projects that he/she needs to edit with cross-project links. Hope this helps.

Mac Mini file server with 10.5.8 and folder permissions

Our office has a Mac Mini we use as a file server. We each connect over our network with a common user. All of the folders we use are on the root. When one creates a subfolder, the permissions on the new folder are read only. One has to go on to the mini and reset the permissions rw- for 'everyone' then all is well. Is there a way to create a user which we would use to connect from our own mac that will be allowed to create folders with rw- permissions?

If you are using the Go menu "Connect to Server" and logging in with a generic Server User-name and password, the permissions of any files you create should be those of the Server User with which you logged in.
If you are just clicking on a sidebar item and using the Finder WITHOUT logging in as a unique User on the Server, the files you create will be owned by the Creator (not the generic Server User) and follow the Creator's permissions.
I find I am sometimes already connected as a guest, and the login dialog does not come up. If I want specific permissions on the Server, I need to eject the Server drive and Connect to Server again. This time I get the login dialog and can enter the username I desire.

Issues with loading master data and hierarchy from BI InfoObject

Hi,
I was successful with loading the master data from BI InfoObject. It copies the text node as well but it discards the space I have in the technical name when it copies it to BPC. For example if my Text Node technical ID is "NODE 1" it copies it as "NODE1" on BPC side because of which my hierarchy load fails as it is not able to find "NODE 1".
What is the reason it deletes the space from technical ID? and how can I resolve this issue?
Do we have a provision to write a ABAP exit where I can check?
(PS: If i manuallay enter space on my BPC dimension the hierarchy loads successfully)
Thanks in advance,
Diksha.

Hi,
You can check this in start routine which can be called from Transformation file using BADI.

Will photoshop elements work with Cut master print and cut software

Has anyone used photoshop for heat transfer design?

Hello again.
I am quite new to the program myself but over the last few weeks editing one particular image I have found that this program will do practically anything I want. I just persevere through each frustration and eventually figure it out. I just wish it were easier to remember what I did to get the result...oh wait, there is a way for that too lol.
I believe you will find it best to have your image on its own layer.
As for the rulers, check to see if it is turned on, I believe that choice would be under the tab at the top labeled VIEW? Not in front of puter right now so not sure exactly.
Also, you might want to check your settings for many of this type of feature in the PREFERENCES area.
Please let us know your progress. Good luck!

How do i remove osx server from my mac mini and just run mac osx lion

i don'r wish to run osx server just osx lion. how do i remove the server software?

One possibility is to obtain the DMG for OS X Lion, boot from it and reinstall the client version.
In my past experience, you'll keep the OS X Lion Server recovery partition, but you will most definitely be running OS X Lion without the server software deployed.
(I'm not sure if you can uninstall the Server software from a Mac Mini Server -- this appears to be integrated with the OS)

Please help me get my laptop back someone has cracked the master password and is running multiple operating systems which I have no access to

Okay so I am not a computer expert by any means and have no clue how to fix my system. My father worked for intel for over 20 years as an engineer I asked him to restore my laptop to its original factory state and instead he cracked the master password
installed multiple operating systems and made himself the administrator or domain controller. Many features and options I do not have access to so reading the trouble shooting and going through the steps always leads me to a dead end. The laptop is TOSHIBA
SATELLITE L875D-S7332 a6 VISION AMD WINDOWS 8. As far as I can see my profile is actual running a version of windows 7. I do see reference to a windows 8RT windows 2003 windows vista wow64 and 32 I don't know what all that means I would just like to know how
wipe everything and get back to the factory condition I bought it in. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated

Do you have Win 7 installation disk? If yes, then go ahead and format the laptop if you don't need any data. If you need the data it it, then copy the same to USB disk and format it. Removing OS and deleting these things will anyhow keep some remains on
HDD. TO get the speed and performance back, you might need a fresh installation.

Very disappointed with Motorola Razr M AND VZW Run Around

I got the Motorola Razr M last December. I picked the Motorola M because it was a nice compact size without compromising screen size and Motorolas are very durable phone....or so I thought. I have had nothing but problems with this model phone. I am on my 6th replacement. I have had software problems and hardware problems. Two "certified" replacement phones have had hardware defects upon being sent out to me. The rest have had numerous software problems. Verizon has been good about sending out replacement phones since I was under my 1 year manufacturers warranty..until this week when I asked if i could get a different phone sent out since this models seems to have so many problems. I got a major run around and no follow up by a "management supervisor" who told me she would work directly with me to resolve the situation...she even gave me her direct number but ended up not being her number when I tried to call back. I am not pleased with the way VZW has decided to handle this as I have been a loyal customer for 11 years. I do blame the reps...I know they are doing their jobs with the boundaries that are set for them. I just want a phone to work for the remainder of my contract with VZW. I even tried to contact Motorola and they said since I bought the phone through VZW I had to work with VZW for replacements. SO VERY FRUSTRATING!

You have actually helped me with a decision that has been driving me crazy for the past week. I do not need nor do I want all or most of the above you mentioned. Heck I hardly use half of that stuff on my home computer or I-pad. I will definately stay with my basic phones that I can get calls, texts and take pictures. Thanks again.

Combining LVOOP DVR with Asynchronous Dynamic Dispatch and Preserve Run-Time Class

OK, the title sounds like a cornucopia of LVOOP terms. But there's a reason. This is in a way an extension of THIS thread.
What I'm doing recently is creating a LVOOP approach to loading Completely Asynchronous UI elements into subpanels. This I have combined with a global repository for the objects (which are essentially singletons with a UI functionality) which are shared via DVR, thus eliminating a lot of synchronisation headaches).
This means that I can ahve a universal framework for launching the UI elements into a subpanel. The changes made on the Object there are automatically reflected in the global repository.
So far so good.
What I don't like too much is a combination of two seemingly awkward code constructs I need in order to keep things running.
Weird construct 1:
I have defined a "Launch UI" function in my parent class which is Dynamic Dispatch (Allowing each object to take care of launching its own UI). This takes a parent object DVR as a second input which I make sure is of the exact same type as the object type being invoked by using the code shown below. The ACTUAL Type of both inputs to the launch VI within the IPE are identical. This is guaranteed because I require each new class to override this function.
Here I pass the DVR from outside the IPE to the "Launch" VI but the Object obtained within the IPE retains information required for DD thus ensuring that the VI called for launching the UI is identical to the ACTUAL object type in the DVR. This works OK and by placing this weird construct WITHIN the parent class, abuse is minimised, it works fine and seems to have no major side-effects.
So now we have a VI running asynchronously in the background which belongs to a specific object but has a DVR which it *thinks* is of a Parent Type but, because of the steps taken earlier, is actually of the same type as the object itself.
In order to make use of the functionality defined in this actual object type, I need to continuously re-interpret the Object within the IPE as shown below. Otherwise only the Parent functionality is available.
If I am accessing only methods of the parent class, then the Preserve functionality is not needed.
Is there a more elegant way to do this? I find the net result of this code and type-juggling to be really useful and much easier to manage than the non-DVR route since the synchronisation issues disappear. By making the IPE usage near-atomic we remove the chances of deadlock.
All editing done in the UI of the asynchronous VI is reflected automatically in any subsequent usage of the DVR. Even if the DVRs are not shared between VIs, this makes (for me) the headache of synchronisation easier. If you start expanding this beyond the limits of a single VI, the benefits in Synchronisation become really huge. You can even have multiple UI objects operating on the same data in the background without extra synchronisation needs. The only synchronisation required is a global "Data updated" for the object in question whereby the UI elements simply update their indicators and controls from the DVR again. This is trivial.
Thus I am convinced that the net result of this is very beneficial.
My question is if there's a better, safer or more "official" way to do this?
I was about to start a new Idea for combining the "Preserve Run time Class" and the DVR Terminal of the IPE so that the casting is done automatically. We could then have a double input to the IPE, the DVR (of base type) plus the ACTUAL Type of the object but of course returning an error if the types are incompatible. It would be like an "Imposter" DVR input for the IPE which allows a re-interpretation of the object type.
Would all of this go away if we allowed Dynamic Dispatch to work with DVRs? Probably.

You guys rock!
I didn't even think of casting the DVR like that. Kinds stupid of me but I never would have thought it would work. Cool.
Also, Yeah, the limitation of no IPE in the Launch VI was one I spotted quite early on. this is why my Launch VI also doesn't accept more data than is absolutely neccessara because a DVR access in that VI will of course cause a lockup. I have the system so far now that I can have a SINGLE Launch VI (Which is NOT overridden, so the limitation refers to only a single VI now which is certainly better.
So again guys, thanks for helping out an old newbie. I've been around for quite a while, have made many posts but I love the way I just keep learning from others in the Forum. This is just why I absolutely LOVE it here.
