Monitoring services without description?

Hi all
I've made a setup similar to the one described in the below article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/brianwren/archive/2008/03/07/using-wildcards-with-the-windows-service-template.aspx
Basically I'm monitoring a lot of services and some of these services does not have a description. So when it queries for the description every 5 minutes and the value is null, we get an event id warning 31876 on all our servers. With the text:
Data item returned no information for parameter '$Data/Property[@Name='Description']$'
This usually indicates that the query is incorrect.
What would be the best workaround to this issue? I've thought of a few myself, but am unsure of the consequences and implementation:
Edit the discovery rule to not request the description field. Is it needed? I can't see the information anywhere on our alerts, can I?
Edit the discovery rule to check if the description contains data, if it does return this and if it doesn't return some default value such as "None". Is this even possible? I would need help with the code as I don't expect I can just use an if/else
solution.
Edit the actual services to have a description. I don't like this approach, but if the others have downsides then this might be what I need to do. Any good articles on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for any help you can provide :-)

Hi Sridhar
Thank you for replying to my post. I hope you will elaborate a bit for my better understanding of the issue. I've seen in the management pack you can set if a property has key=true or false. What exactly does this mean? Is key a sort of required value?
You write that I can just change it to fetch the DisplayName instead. This causes me to conclude that I could just aswell completely remove the line as I then assume it's not used for anything. Or would there be any issues with this approach?
So I would delete:
        <Setting>
          <Name>$MPElement[Name="MicrosoftSystemCenterNTServiceLibrary!Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService"]/Description$</Name>
          <Value>$Data/Property[@Name='Description']$</Value>
        </Setting>
EDIT: I just read up on key properties. So from what I understand a key property is what SCOM uses to check if it already has an object discovered, by comparing the key properties of discovered objects with already existing objects. So if you set a key property
to always be a default value for various services, SCOM would assume all discovered services was one and the same. But with a non-key property, you can set it to whatever as SCOM doesn't compare it to existing objects. Is this correctly understood?

BI 4.1 monitoring service disabled

Hello,
An error occurs when I want to go to monitoring part of the CMC : "monitoring service is disabled. Only tests are available".
I stop and restart monitoring service without success.
We have a BI 4.1 SP04.
Do you have an idea to solve this issue ?
Thanks for your help.
Antoine

Hi,
Are you using the default Derby DB for monitoring or switched to Audit database in CMC > Applications > Monitoring Application > Properties.
Check attached links.

How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file?

How can we send only one message to a WCF service at a time? How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file? Can we do it by Host throttling?

Hi Pawan,
You need to use WCF-Custom adapter and add the ServiceThrottlingBehavior service behavior to a WCF-Custom Locations.
ServiceThrottlingBehavior.MaxConcurrentCalls - Gets or sets a value that specifies the maximum number of messages actively processing across a ServiceHost. The MaxConcurrentCalls property specifies the maximum number of messages actively
processing across a ServiceHost object. Each channel can have one pending message that does not count against the value of MaxConcurrentCalls until WCF begins to process it.

What function does the APS service: Web Intelligence Monitoring Service perform?

When creating an Adaptive Processing Server, one of the services that can be selected is: Web Intelligence Monitoring Service. What exactly is this service monitoring?
Is it monitoring the APS itself when chosen? Or as the name implies, is it monitoring Web Intelligence Processing Servers?
Under properties, there are configuration options for this server ( i.e. Enable Monitoring checkbox ). Are there any best practices when this service should be selected for an APS or not?
Thanks

Swapnil and Shwetabh, thanks for your replies.
Using the Monitoring Service as an example, I know:
- If the Monitoring Service is running on an APS, then Monitoring ( under CMC ) will work
- if the Monitoring Service is NOT running on an APS, then Monitoring ( under CMC ) will NOT work
For Web Intelligence Monitoring Service,
- if this is running on any APS, when benefit do we get? Are there monitoring logs it creates anywhere?
- if this is NOT running on any APS, what are we missing?
In our environment we have followed APS best practices ( as per link Swapnil refereneced ) and have split services across multiple Adaptive Processing Servers. We have 2 nodes clustered together with a total of 16 different Adaptive Processing Servers of which 12 have the Web Intelligence Monitoring Service. In addtion, we are running 5 instances of the Web Intelligence Processing Server across both nodes. Without understanding what purpose the Web Intelligence Monitoring Service serves, I find it difficult to determine how many of our APS should have the Web Intelligence Monitoring Service.
If we only have 5 Web Intelligence Processing Servers, does it make sense to have 12 APS with the Web Intelligence Monitoring Service?
Thanks

Registry Monitor service signficantly impacting startup performance

Hi,
I've observed that the ThinkVantage Registry Monitor service significantly impairs Windows startup performance, and (I believe) completely unnecessarily so. I'm using Rescue and Recovery version 4.21.0016 in a fully updated Win XP SP3.
Between tvt_reg_monitor_svc itself, the accompanying anti-virus process overhead, and their disk access, the system is practically unusable for a couple minutes and "laggy" in anything requiring disk reads for many minutes after that. If at the first opportunity, however, I lower the CPU priority of the tvt_reg_monitor_svc.exe process to Below Normal, the system is instantly responsive again and the startup process completes pretty quickly. tvt_reg_monitor_svc gets all its work done, but does so without creating an I/O bottleneck on the system during the already disk-intensive startup process.
Why does tvt_reg_monitor_svc run with Normal priority? Please improve system performance, at startup in particular, by making tvt_reg_monitor_svc run with reduced CPU priority.
Thanks for your consideration.

Hello,
Have you tried excluding the ThinkVantage Registry Monitor service from being scanned by the antivirus software? If so, did that provide any noticeable improvement in performance?

Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services

Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services
Is there a way to update a common external dictionary used by many services without migrating each and every service that uses the dictionary. I have updated the table in the database and the external dictionary in our Development Environment. The external dictionary is used by many services. When I migrate the changed service to TEST/STAGE/PROD environments (NOTE: the table has been updated in the TEST/STAGE/PROD Databases), only the changed service is having the external dictionary updated. All other services that use the same external dictionary are NOT updated. I have the following questions
Is it possible to migrate dictionaries so that all the services which are using that dictionary are updated?
If the first one is not possible, Is there any other way to update the external dictionary without migrating all the services that use dictionary?

dont think so but I could be wrong
as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers but there
are times when I use headset so I bought this one
or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

IDOC - PO Creation using a service without master record

I can not find the field to populate the cost center when i create a PO using a service without master data (buy using Material Group) via transaction WE19.
The accounting information is present on "E1BPMEPOACCOUNT" segment, but the cost center and G/L Account in this segment were not recognized by IDOC because this segment is used to populate Account Assignment tab on Item Detail Level and my problem appear one step before when after I populate the service tab at Item Detail Level and press .
In few words I didn´t find the correct field to populate the cost center on Basic type "PORDCR101".
I tried populate the field COSTCENTER on the segment "E1BPMEPOACCOUNT" but didn´t work.
Maybe is there another basic type to use in this specific case?
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
In the inbound side create a new entry in WE57 tcode.. with the functio mdoule as "IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS", basic type "ORDERS05", extn< specify the extn u created at outbound side>, message type "ORDERS". Now see if it is working.

What's a good 3 bureau monitoring service???

Morning All, Whats a good 4 bureau monitoring services that gives you access to your scores, and allows you to view your three credit reports on a daily basis? I have USAA Credit Monitoring premium, and it's changing and will only allow me to pull my report once a month starting in 45 days. I like to pull it daily to see what's been updated, what my utilization is, and if there's been and changes at all. Can anyone recommend a product for me? I was looking at the myFICO 3-bureau report for $24.95, and thats what I currently pay and would like to stay in that price range as well. Thanks for the help.

I agree Credit Check Total is excellent. I had the 7 day trial and I continued the membership and I got the 14.97 as well. They are giving your true fico scores. Is that it? just call within 7 days when you try to cancel they will make you an offer? is it just for 1 month or every month 14.95? Many people have reported that they are offered the $14.97 deal for two years when calling to cancel. I went about it slightly different. I called when I was about 4 or 5 days into the 7 day trial period, explained that I really liked the product, but thought that $30/mo was too high. Immediately, the rep that I spoke to stated that she could lower it to $14.97/mo for two years. It appears it is simply there for the asking. The rep also stated that it is likely that after the two years there would be other discounts available, but obviously could not guarantee it. I like what I see with CreditCheck Total so far. I am receiving alerts, Experian updates each day, as well as the ability to have a 3-bureau report with FICO 8 scores, three times a month. Appears to be a very good deal. The only thing I have not figured out yet is if any unused 3B reports carryover to the following month, or if we lose them.

Use-Case for Business Services (Service Without Party) in SAP XI

Hi,
I have a synchronous scenario where I am calling a web Service from SAP R/3 via SAP XI. I have designed the Integration Scenario in the Integration Repository, where I created an A2A role for the R/3 System and a B2B Role for the Web Service. For the Web Service Party in the Integration Directory I use a Business Service unterneath 'Service without Party' as the party for the Web Service is unknown.
I realized that I cannot assign the Business Service to the defined Web Service Role when I want to use the Integrationscenario-Configurator. This only works when I ceate a Party and create the Business Service underneath this Party.
I understand that this makes sense when I am having a B2B communication like in this case although I don't have a real external Party for the Web Service.
But I don't understand for which cases I would create a Business Service underneath the 'Service without Party' as internal Systems are known and can be set-up as Business Systems in the SLD.
Does anybody have such a case where I use an 'Internal' Business Service? And is there any way that I can use such a Business Service in the Business Integrationscenario-Configurator?
Thanks in advance.
Alex

Hi,
for creatting a communication channel you will have to have either the Business system, Business service.
For file systems which are generally just servers come under Business service. This is one of the place where you use Business service.

Business Service Without Party in Integration Scenrio Configurator

Hi everybody
I am stucking in a small issue but do not found a related thread.
Can anybody explain me, why I cannot assign a "Business Service" of typ "Service without Party" to an Application Component? I am try to configure my integration Process and call in the directory Tools --> Transfer Integration Scenario from Integration Repository. In the following Configurator I can only assign Business Systems from SLD or Services with a Party depending on the settings of the Application Component in the Repository (Flag "External Party with B2B Communication"). If you configure the scenario manually it is possible to involve Business Services without party. But I would like to make use of the Wizard and my Customer has a lot of Systems maintained as Business services.
Any suggestions?
Regards Oliver

Hi,
I have not done this type of task before.. but from the given links
see the below information was in the above first link
The following steps are then only required if the application component has at least one connection to a B2B component.
       3.      On the Business Services for B2B tab page, enter the business service that you want to use for B2B communication.
The integration process service that is already entered on the Integration Process Service for A2A tab page is then assigned to this business service.
B2B Component...
       1.      On the Business Services for B2B tab page, assign the business services.
Use the input help () to select the business services.
       2.      If you want to create a new business service, choose Create Business Service ().
To assign multiple services simultaneously, choose Input Help () in the toolbar of the table (only when assigning business services and business system services).

Using Service without party in Inbound Idoc scenario

Hi Guys,
Can we use a Service Without Party in an inboud Idoc scenario? I want to create a Business Service without party and use it as a sender service. For the Adapter Specific Identfiers for this service I want to put any arbitrary value for the logical system for Idoc adapter (as there is no business system defined in SLD for this, we cannot get the logical system name from there). Would this work while the Idoc adapter tries to resolve the Sender Service? Would this arbitrary value from the Adapter Specific Identifier be taken for SNDPRN in the Idoc control header?
Regards,
Suddha

Hi,
You can use Business system or Business Service (Service without Party).
If you use Business system then there will be direct linking with SLD while in case of Business Service you will have to manually add the Interfaces to the Business service.
But in case of IDOC sender since communication channel is not required so you can use Business service as well.

Check Printing AP Service Invoice description

Hi Experts,
I have a client who wants their Check Stubs to have the details of the AP Service Invoices description (PCH1.Dscription) to print.
Is there a way I can get this field in the PLD of the Check? I saw in other threads that you can use Ctrl & Alt, but this is not supported by SAP. I would not like to use this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Marli

Hi
Normally the template for the checks does not have the direct relation with the Invoice that created it, but it is related with the payment.
What you can try is create a Formatted Search (FMS) to bring that information in a User defined Field U(UDF).

can we Monitoring Services Installed on Oracle apllication Server using Tivoli ITCAM for J2EE.

Hi All,
Finlly got rid of the problem by incuding ' loaderRef="oracle.tasks.loader" ' in my taskdef tag.
Earlier it was
<taskdef resource="oracle/antlib.xml" uri="antlib:oracle" >
<classpath>
     <pathelement location="${oracle.home}/j2ee/utilities/ant-oracle-classes.jar" />
     <pathelement location="${oc4j.home}/lib/javax88.jar" />

     <pathelement location="${oc4j.home}/lib/bcel.jar" />
</classpath>
</taskdef>
Now it is

Activating iPhone service without a computer

Okay, so here's the deal: I bought my iPhone 3G back in October 2008. I cancelled my service due to being unable to make payments. I would like to reactivate it again. Only problem is that I have no regular access to a computer or my own personal iTunes. I have a lot of data (music, videos, etc) that I would like to keep. What are my options for reactivating my service without losing any data or syncing it to iTunes (reactivating or signing up for new service is not an issue.)

You should be able to visit the shop of your country's iPhone carrier and have it re-activated for use without any issues. They would be able to activate it there.

ThinkVantage Registry Monitor Service consuming too much CPU!

My X200 Tablet is often in an unusable stable for 10~20 minutes after a reboot or a wakeup from a sleep/hibernation state. I noticed it's mainly because CPU is busy with the ThinkVantage Registry Monitor Service.
I noticed that although the CPU usage of "tvt_reg_monitor_svc.exe" is often <10%, another process "System" is often taking >80% CPU when "tvt_reg_monitor_svc.exe" is running. "System" CPU usage immediately comes down when "tvt_reg_monitor_svc.exe" is killed. Is it a kind of camouflage? Thanks!
I was not able to disabling the registry monitor service completely either. Although I can stop and disable it in the Services control panel, it will automatically come back to life after a reboot. I heard that it may be because some other lenovo services, such as the Fingerprint Server, Rescue & Recovery, may need the Registry monitor service.
Anyone know how can I continue to use RnR and the fingerprint service but keep the annoying Registry Monitor service disabled? I'd like to use the fingerprint reader for convenience, and use RnR for saving data too! (my laptop, half a year old, crashed once already, and RnR saved my data!) Or, how to make the Registry Monitor use less CPU?
BTW, my X200 tablet is running Windows XP SP3, and currently up-to-date using both lenovo's "ThinkVantage System Update" and microsoft's "Windows Update".
Thanks!

Hi,
this situation was fixed by one patch, so please try to install following patch, if this fixes your situation too:
