Modify the initrd.gz file on Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd

We are having issues with the Dell Optiplex 755 model with our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd but we found the issue.
By remming (using the # symbol) out certain lines in the install.s file we are able to successfully intall the Zen Partition To test this out we ran manual from the Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd and copied the install.s from the Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd onto the Zen Partition and we modified the few lines in the install.s file (using the # symbol as mentioned earlier) and the ran install.s from the hard drive and it worked great! Running install.s from the Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd however generates errors.
Here's the problem, we need to incorporate the changes to the install.s file into our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd.
Now the install.s is located in the initrd.gz file, and the initrd.gz file is located at the root of our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd (bootcd.iso was copied from SYS:\Public\Zenworks\Imaging).
We normally use the Slackware 10.2 Linux to compile drivers for our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd box as it uses the kernel 2.4.31 which is the kernel of our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd.
How can we modify the install.s in the initrd.gz, and then include the new initrd.gz file which is located at the root of our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd?
Also, does other files such as isolinux.cfg have to be factored in as well?
We read some documentation on Novell's support but it keeps referring to initrd and not initrd.gz, also in the documentation I read it states that initrd is located in the /boot/loader on the bootcd, but we don't have these directories on our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd and we don't have initrd but we do have initrd.gz at the root of our Zenworks 4.01 ir7 bootcd as mentioned previously. We used our Slackware 10.2 Linux box to follow this documentation link below.
Here's the link to the document we were doing for Netware 6.5 SP2 and earlier, we didn't use the Zenworks 7 approach:

  • Problems modifying the httpd.conf file

    We are running Flash Media Server 4.5 on Windows Server 2008. We want to move the vod folder which by default is in webroot. We create a new vod folder and then modify the httpd.conf file so that it points to the new vod location. We then stop and restart the Flash Media Server service. However, the server acts like the old paths are cached somewhere in the system. Videos in the new vod folder do not work. Videos in the old vod folder open even though the httpd.conf file was modified.
    We made sure that the client browsers on which we tested this had their cache cleared.
    Anyone have any ideas what might be going on here?

    Thanks for your reply! I tried restarting the FMSHttpd service separately. Still encountering this issue, however.
    Here's what we are doing:
    1. We create a new vod folder.
    2. We modify the httpd.conf file in Flash Media folder -> Apache2.2 -> conf so that it points to the new vod location. For example, we make a modification to HttpStreamingContentPath like the following:
    <IfModule jithttp_module>
    <Location /hds-vod>
        HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true
        HttpStreamingContentPath "..\..\[new vod folder]"
        HttpStreamingJITConfAllowed true
        JitFmsDirPath ".."
        Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
    # Uncomment the following directives to enable encryption
    # for this location.
    #   EncryptionScope server
    #   ProtectionScheme phds
    </Location>
    </IfModule>
    3. We restart the FMSHttpd service.
    After doing this, we find that the path to the old vod folder is still working. Videos in the new vod folder don't open as expected.
    Are there any other steps that we should be taking? Many thanks for any help.

  • Modifying the directory of file events

    Hi, This is my first post.  I apologize if my post is confusing.
    I have been looking all over for a way to modify the file events after the import from BO 6.5 into XI 3.1 automatically.
    I have about 1400 events to modify the directory they refer to.  Our current set up does not allow us to point to the current directory since we have to have the events trigger instead of having a watcher system. 
    Has anyone used a java SDK to automate moving the events from
    server1\events_name to
    server2\events_name.
    It would just go through all the events and replace server1 with server2.
    Thank You in Advance for any help

    This code will trigger all the events in the 'repository'.  Can someone help modify this to change the server directory?  I believe that all that needs to be altered is this section.
    //Go through each event returned and add it to the table
                   for (int lIdx = 0; lIdx < lInfoObjects.size(); lIdx++)
                        //Retrieve the current event object
                        IEvent oEvent = (IEvent)lInfoObjects.get(lIdx);
                        IUserEvent lUserEvent = (IUserEvent) oEvent.getEventInterface();
                        lUserEvent.trigger();
    I think what needs to be replaced is lUserEvent.trigger(); with something that will modify the SI_FEATURES section of the event.  I am not sure how to get the current SI_FEATURES -> SI_FEATURES -> SI_FILE and replace with a different directory.
    Like *
    server_name1\sources_closed\event_name1* to *
    server_name2\sources_closed\event_name1*
    Below is code from this example:
    import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException;
    import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.CrystalEnterprise;

    import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.event.IEvent;
    import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.event.IUserEvent;
    public class triggerEvent {

                   //Logon to Enterprise
                   lEnterpriseSession = lSessionMgr.logon(lUser, lPWD, lCMS, lSecurity);
                   //Retrieve the InfoStore object from the Enterprise Session

                                     "WHERE  SI_KIND = 'Event' " +
                                     "ORDER BY SI_NAME";

  • How can I modify the "All My files" search criteria?

    Heres my issue: I LOVE the new "All My Files" feature in 10.7... however.. I would like to limit some of the search criteria (which I know goes against its purpose to some degree)... "All My Files" shows every file by kind on my computer, unfortunately it also shows erroneous files in the /Developer folder that I do not care about at all nor are they "mine". 
    So I have noticed that I can "edit" the "All My Files" property and that it simply seems to be a "saved search" that they put into the Finder side bar... but how do I then say dont include this folder?

    Finder > Preferences > Sidebar
    Put a checkmark in the box beside "All My Files".

  • A way to modify the ResultProcessing.cfg file outside of TestStand?

    All,
    I'm looking for a way to change the style sheet path one time (not hard code it in NI_ReportGenerator.seq), would anyone know of a way how to do it with a vi or something to that affect?  The goal is to initially setup a tester (remotely, I will not be on site to set this), but not hard code them to this one stylesheet.
    I'm using TestStand 2012
    Thanks,
    Bill
    John 3:16

    The file is an xml text file. If your style sheet values are sufficiently distinct, it shouldn't be too hard to just find and replace the text.
    The file is also a TestStand ProperyObjectFile. ResultProcessing.c has code that modifies it using the TestStand API. However, that requires TestStand to be installed and is not nearly as simple as finding and replacing a text string.

  • I am not able to modify the text in pdf output file using pdf editor

    Hi,
    We have upgrade the xml 5.6.1 in server level. After upgrading this, we are not able to modify the pdf output file. Previously we used to modify text and delete text in pdf file which is generated by oracle Application. As of now we cann't upgrade higher version. Can you suggest what to do?.

    Check the xdo configuration file option in the user guides. There should be options that allow / disallow modifying text specifically. If you are in EBS, you should be able to change the configuration file options from the XML Publisher Administrator UI.

  • Modify the file.

    the actual problem is there is a text file in following kind of entries in each line
    <string>, starting point, ending point.
    eg. "this is a file" , 10, 20.
    now i want to calculate the length of the string and add to starting point and check with ending point if it is false then update the ending point with actual value.
    I know the way to change the value(using the string tokenizer).
    my question is this lines are in txt1.txt. How can i modify the values within the same file? Should i go for two files ... reading the values from one file and writing to the other values including the changing values or is there any way to modify the same text file.

    Either read the entire file in and rewrite it (depends on how large the file is)
    OR
    Write a temp file then copy that file over the target file. (of course after you've closed the original file.

  • How to modify the "To Print" Steps in the Print the Report Dialog box

    From the Crystal Reports Viewer Toolbar, when selecting the Print option,
    a 'Print the Report' Dialog box opens. Is it possible to modify the 'To Print' steps?
    We tried modifying  (commenting-out the To Print steps) in strings_en.js and export.js, but
    when running, the changes do not show up.
    We are using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008, Crystal Reports Viewer Version=10.5.3700.0
    Thank you.

    A warning 1st. Modifying the export.js file is not supported and may lead to all kinds of issues. Also, as soon as somebody else installs an app on that machine, the js files will get overwritten and thus removing your changes.
    Second, I do not think the print dialog is defined in a JS file. In CR 10 I think we built our own print dialog and there is no control over it (e.g.; no exposed APIs).
    I think your best bet will be to create a printer dialog as per your requirements and  launch it from your our own print button.

  • Cannot run the bcp_extract.bat  file OMWB created

    Hello Everyone,
    I am working on transferring data offline using the OMWB.
    In OMWB ORACLE Model pane, i selected a user schema object, a table, and i chose Object<Generate SQL*Loader script.
    Now that i was able to find my bcp_extract.bat file, i copied the contents of the directory where OMWB generated the data unload scripts onto the computer that my source database, SQL SERVER 7, is installed.
    Per OMWB documentation, I modified the bcp_extract.bat file to include the source database Server Name. And I did remove the angle brackets as well. I double clicked the bcp_extract.bat file and a command window poped up and went down immediately. No data file was generated nor anything was added to the sql_load_script.bat file in the Oracle directory that was creatd by the Generate SQL*Loader Scripts.
    Is there any other information that i need to modify/add in order to be able to run the bcp_extract.bat file. In fact, i thought about adding the password after -P switch and see if i can run the file, but after adding the password i still could not get the bcp_extract.bat file running.
    I appreciate if someone can help me out to get the bcp_extract.bat file running.
    Thank you so much!

  • Modify the default "No portal roles are assigned..." message iView

    Hi,
    When a user with no roles assigned is trying to access the EP6 SP9 portal, he/she is facing a warning message:
    "No portal roles are assigned for this user.If this problem persists, contact your system administrator."
    accompanied by a 'log off' link.
    Is it somehow possible to change the look and feel and/or behaviour of this message?
    For instance, we would like the message appearance to be more 'friendly' and with a link where they can find further assistance, etc.
    With best regards,
    Robin

    The window for logoff is part of the masterhead. So i think you can modify the masterhead pasr file for that.
    Its location is at...
    usr/sap/<instance>/JC00/J2EE/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/root/web-inf/deployment/pcd.
    In this folder you can find the com.sap.portal.masterhead.par.bak
    this file can be imported to your developer studio and can be editted and uploaded.
    hope this helps

  • Does Java have an object model for the actual .java files?

    OK, you know how you can use the Document Object Model (DOM) in JavaScript or PHP to access and modify specific parts of an HTML document? Is there anything similar for .java files? Can I load a .java file into some kind of Java Code Object Model (JCOM?) and then manipulate that code as if it were an object.
    Note: I am not asking how to instantiate and use a regular object as defined by the .java file. I am wondering about modifying the actual .java file itself as an object that represents the actual text of the code in the .java file.

    Not the code, per se, but the classes they define... Yessum, most certainly: ASM, among others.
    Also Google [java parser|http://www.google.com.au/search?q=java+parser]... one of them might do what you're after.
    So, one would parse the Java code into XML using one of these many and
    varied parsers, then access that XML via the DOM? Well, I guess a two
