MPLS in the Enterprise
Has any had any experience with using MPLS in the Enterprise? I would like to use MPLS to segment the different parts of my network. I basically have 4 different user bases at remote locations and several others including development in the corporate areas. I would like to use MPLS between all of my sites and basically have my current router act as the PE with the different interfaces be different sudo customers. Then once I have this set up I can use a firewall to touch each MPLS vrf to redistribute networks to the other networks so it appears that it is one big network but I then would have a single location to be able to administer policy and rules as to who can talk to who. I would like to hear if any one has done this and what problems and or benefits they received from doing this approach. I know it may seem like over kill but it would give me a definitive answer to say yes an out break of a virus on one segment would not be able to affect another vrf if they rules and what not were in place.
Hi there,
we run three sites with a pair of 7200 PE's at each site. This allows us to get our security partioned networks to all three sites very cost effectively.
But beware, setting up basic VPN's is relatively easy compared to setting up tunnels and traffic engineering.

Need some honest opinions about Campus VPNs - MPLS in the Enterprise
Our organization is considering the new Cisco Campus VPN model for one of our new research facilities (~1000 people). They are suggesting a Layer 3 MPLS-iBGP-VPN Core and Distribution Layer (between the PEs) and Layer 2 at the Access. This seems unnecessarily complex and rather difficult to manage. We're going to end up with anywhere from 30-50 VRFs, and we'll end up having to place 6500s w/Sup 720s everywhere (even at the Access). This sounds like overkill to me. Thoughts?
It basically reads like I wrote a paper describing what I've been thinking about. ;)
So I guess that means I like the architecture as a general rule. My question to some degree still stands regarding what it is you want and what you need for your environment.
If you really need the kind of services afforded by this design, then there's not much else you can do that's scalable.
However, I noticed when the Superverisor 32 came out that it mentioned future MPLS support. I don't know what timeframe the necessary software will come out in (or if it's out already), but depending on the timeframe for your implementation it may be possible for them to coincide in some beneficial way. That would certainly save you rather a lot of money I suspect, as the Sup32s are quite a bit less expensive than the Sup720s (particularly if you're considering having two in each chassis for redundancy). Like I said, I have no idea about availability, but it may be something to consider if you can weasel some dates out of your Cisco salesman (or woman). -
MPLS scenario for enterprise/banks
Dear All,
I know mpls is good for SPs but how can we implement and justify mpls for an enterprise/banks with branches over 1k.
Is there any existing "private" mpls based enterprise network implemented for such a scenario and how is it justified besides using fast switching which cef can also achieve.HI, [Pls Rate if HELPS]
Justify the MPLS VPN as scenario:
VPN services can be offered based on two major models:
Overlay VPNs, in which the service provider provides virtual point-to-point links between customer sites
Peer-to-peer VPNs, in which the service provider participates in the customer routing
About Overlay VPN's:
=====================
VPN is implemented with IP-over-IP tunnels:
Tunnels are established with GRE or IPSec.
GRE is simpler (and quicker); IPSec provides authentication and security.
VPN is implemented with PPP-over-IP tunnels.
Usually used in access environments (dialup, digital subscriber line).
Service provider infrastructure appears as point-to-point links to customer routes.
Routing protocols run directly between customer routers.
Service provider does not see customer routes and is responsible only for providing point-to-point transport of customer data.
About Peer to Peer VPN's:
===========================
The only difference is: Here the Service Provider participates in the Customer Routing. PE Router exchanges Customer routers through the core network.
How to treat VPN's:
=====================
Here you need to consider every branch router as CE ie., Spoke Router but not the application itself. If the application are hosted only @ HO means access will be easy.
If the applications are hosted @ various offices using of RD & RT Values in MPLS-VPN will help a lot in implementation.
How to Implement:
==================
You can implement using pure MPLS-VPN Services. The HUB can be implented and all SPoke are treated as CE Routers. The IPSec session are to be established as said before.
The SP will implement the VRF with FRD & RT Values. The same will be imported @ spoke locations to access the Servers @ HO.
Hope I am Informative.

Airprint in the Enterprise across subnets [Solution]
This is a message to help folks figure out how to setup
Airprint across wired/wireless subnets. Hopefully it will help a few people.
Airprint was designed to work with Bonjour on a local subnet/broadcast domain.
To print in the enterprise where we have wired/wireless infrastructure,
we need to use a DNS server to find the printer resources
Assumptions:
Our internal domain is: foocompany.com
We create a new subdomain: bonjour.foocompany.com
Creating a new subdomain allows up to apply DNS views so we can show print/bonjour services in
close proximity of the user.
You have a CUPS printer server (linux/apple) running at printserver.bonjour.foocompany.com
1. Setup a DNS server
If you setting up a test domain server, you can setup forwarding to your primary production server.
This way all DNS queries continue to work
In your named.conf file setup forwarding
options {
forwarders { YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR; YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR2; };
forward first;
allow-query-cache { any; }; // Allow client queries from other subnet to query from cache
Create a new zone, "bonjour.foocompany.com"
zone "bonjour.foocompany.com." { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.home"; };
zone "foocompany.com" { type forward; forward only; forwarders { YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR; YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR2; }; };
Create the following entries to support bonjour browsing
#=======DNS====Begin======
lb.dns-sd.udp IN PTR @

2. Setup CUPS
Add printers to the CUPS server.
Enable access to the printer queue from remote machines,
GUI: "System->Admin->Printing->Server->Server Setting: Allow printing from the internet"
Also make sure the following lines are present in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
# Allow remote access
Port 631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
AccessLog syslog
AccessLogLevel all
LogLevel debug
MaxLogSize 0

# Enable printer sharing and shared printers.
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all
BrowseRemoteProtocols CUPS
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS dnssd
BrowseProtocols all
DefaultAuthType Basic
3. Change iPAD configs
Add your DNS server as the first DNS server in the network settting page.
Add "bonjour.foocompany.com" to the DNS domains to search
4. Test printing
Open up Photos application.
Select a picture
Select "Send To->Print"
Select "Printer", now a list of printer names should show up as defined in the DNS server
Select a printer and hit "Print"
Fast task switch to Print Center to verify print job is being sent

email: [email protected]Update for ios 8:
With ios 8 it appears that _printer and _ipp are no longer equivalent. For this to work it looks like you have to use _ipp._tcp
Also - the underscore characters are important and they are missing from the example above.
Last - you can use the "note" field to add a second line that is displayed in smaller text below the printer name in ios 8.
Here is an updated template:

I'm Galit from the QE team of VIN.
All the things that you've described are correct.
It is actually an edge case where the only VM, that the manual App can be managed from its Map view, was removed from the App.
The Manual App management is as designed, and may be changed in the future.
There are 2 ways to overcome this situation:
1.You can, as you stated, create another Manual App with similar name and remain with the "Zombie App".
2. To run a specific command that will remove the Zombie App from the DB.
Please note that option no. 2 involves using an API that we do not publish.
If you would like to use option no. 2 contact me in private and we will see about supplying the relevant commands to run in order to delete the "zombie" application.
Thanks,
Galit Gutman -
BW Workbook as an iView in the Enterprise Portal
I keeping getting a dialog box asking to select the appropriate program to open the workbook. When I select .xls it opens, and it shows the parameters I entered and not the workbook. The customer is on NW04 Stack 11.
I followed ever step on help.sap.com site as listed below.
BW workbooks are MS Excel workbooks with one or more embedded BW queries. You are able to display these workbooks in the Enterprise Portal as iViews.
Features
Workbooks are displayed in a separate MS Excel window. Opening workbooks within the Web browser window is not possible for technical reasons.
BW workbooks require the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW front end.
SAP recommends that you use BEx Web applications in the Enterprise Portal that run completely in the Web browser.
You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the BW Web application context menu as an alternative to using a local installation of the BW front end if you require Excel functions. See Context Menu Functions and Exporting as a CSV File/Excel 2000 File.
An iView with a workbook can be generated using the Portal Content Studio or Role Upload. For more information, see Generating Content from SAP BW for the Enterprise Portal.
The iViews are of type SAP Transaction iView and have the code link com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction.
The most important properties are System, Transaction (TCODE) and ApplicationParameter.
·The System property contains the alias on the BW system (see Creating BW Systems in the Portal).
·The transaction code for every workbook is RRMXP.
·The value WBID= is in the ApplicationParameter property.
You can determine the workbook ID with the BEx Analyzer:
a. Open the desired workbook.
b. In the BEx toolbar, choose ® OLAP Functions for Active Cells ® Properties. The Information tab page contains the Workbook ID (Server).
Note that with BW workbooks as an iView, the AutoStart property contains the value True (process first screen) and the GuiType property contains the value WinGui.
Anyone have a solution for this to work?
Thanks,
-EliDear Rasmesh,
Please try to do this suggestion:
3. How can I use SAP Application Integrator to access SAP transactions?
There are two different ways to use the SAP Application Integrator transaction iView. In both cases please use a URL like 'irj://com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction' followed by your custom parameters like '?System=DEV&TCode=SE38&GuiType=WinGui &WinGui_Type=Shortcut&OkCode=SHOP'.
The parameters are:
System [mandatory]
TCode [mandatory]
GuiType (=WinGui / WebGui / JavaGui) [mandatory]
WinGui_Type (=Shortcut ..if you want to launch the GUI in a new window)
OkCode (The OkCode that you would like to be executed after the transcation is called by SAP GUI.)
ApplicationParameter (Pass these values to your screen fields which needs to be be separated by
AutoStart (true / false)
UseSPO1 (true / false)
For a complete list of parameters please consult http://help.sap.com.

Branding bar in the Enterprise Portal
Hi,
All the requirements is to build of the header bar (branding bar) in the Enterprise Portal.
Currently when I click in left nav , the SAP EP Links open up in new window.
These pages do not have any Company Branding header on the top.
I am required to put Branding header on these EP Pages and call them on to MOSS UI.
Plz refer the solution to me.
Thanks,Dear Sanjay ,
Please clarify the below points so that we can understand exactly what issue you are facing .
1. " requirements is to build of the header bar (branding bar)" --- Are you referring to the portal MastHead ?
(typically mastheadincludes -- welcome "name of user who logs in " , Branding Image - horizontal image bar, help , log off n personalize button"
2. "when I click in left nav , the SAP EP Links open up in new window. "
In the left Navigation what are you clicking , what exactly is opening in a new window .
Kind Regards,

I'm partner in a small company with 7 employees. We are all Mac fans and would like to be able to work collaboratively with our Macs. I originally came from a Windows work-environment where I got to know Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint. Both products designed for the enterprise with collaboration in mind.
What can a small company like us, with a limited budget, do to get the following (prioritized)?
1. Filesharing (shared common drive)
- It is important that the individual user can access the files while offline and then later sync with the common drive.
- This should also handle situations where two people accidentally work on the same file simultaneously.
- It would be nice if it was possible to set access restrictions on certain folders that only management had access to.
2. *Calendar sharing*
- Employees should be able to see other peoples calendars so they know when to book meetings etc.
- I guess this could be done with some kind of CalDAV service?
3. *Common Address Book*
- I guess this could be done with some kind of LDAP service?
We already have a bunch of FreeBSD servers running that could handle some of these things I guess - But I would like a solution that was easy/quick to implement and maintain so I could focus on my business.I am an IT manager in a similar situation. However, I have shelled out the thousands to upgrade everything to the latest OS with my xserve running 10.5.5, and users running 10.5.5 or 10.5.6. Spotlight is totally useless. I have talked to tech "supportless" several times - no help. I have installed and reinstalled 10.5 on the server, reformatted drives, copied and deleted hundreds of gigs of data, done all kinds of terminal commands that were supposed to fix it, but it still just doesn't work. I wish Apple would stop coming out with new stuff for a while and fix this basic computer function. For now I use "Better Search". Better Search is Freeware from http://www.fornextsoft.com. Its ok - at least it finds stuff, but it is still not 100% accurate sometimes.

Stopping the Enterprise Manager Console (Oracle 10g on SuSE 9.1)
I'm trying to stop the Enterprise Manager Console by issuing the command:
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/emctl stop dbconsole
Unfortunately, the command fails to stop the EM Console. Here's the output I get:

failed.
The only way I can stop the EM Console (and related services--i.e., emagent) is to kill its process.
Everything (Listener, DB Instance, EM Console) starts fine. I can stop the Listener and DB Instance without any problems. It's just the EM Console shutdown that doesn't happen cleanly.
Has anyone else encountered the same condition? If so, what was the solution?
Here's my operating environment:

Confused if i need the enterprise DPS along with enterprise license from Apple
Do I need to buy the Enterprise DPS if I already have a Enterprise developers license with Apple? I want to develope in-house apps with indesign but everywhere i read no body gives a straight answer.
I have "creative cloud membership" which includes a single edition DPS already so I have single edition DPS now. I want to build an app using indesign and dps but host it on my own server. Can I do this with my single edition along with my enterprise developer licnese from Apple? Or do I have to buy the enterprise DPS to go along with my enterprise developers license from Apple?
thank you for your time
DarianYou will need an Enterprise DPS account along with the Enterprise Apple account. There is nothing ambiguous about this.
And you really need to read Apple’s license very carefully about private distribution. They are very strict about anything not going through the app strore. -
Error ORA-12560 prompts when trying to log in to the Enterprise Manager
Hi all,
I am a newbie to Oracle.
Just installed the Oracle 9i Database Enterprise Edition (9.0.1) into Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. Problem is encountered when trying to log in to the Enterprise Manager Standalone mode using either system/oracle or scott/tiger as credentials. Error "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" prompts.
I tried to check with some configuration and see whether the services are started. Services of "OracleOraHome90TNSListener" and "OracleServiceORCL" have been started and the database exists in the dedicated directory. Environment variables of "ORACLE_HOME" and "ORACLE_SID" have been added manually as the SID is set to orcl, which I just follow what the instruction manual has stated. Moreover, I can't get access using command prompt typing "svrmgrl"; error returned stating " 'svrmgrl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
Another information is that there is no domain set in my server. Just a server with a name being assigned in a workgroup.
Hence, would you mind please advice me what to do in order to get access into the Enterprise Manager? It's quite an urgent task.
A million thx in advance!
Best Regards,
KarenHi Jigneshrp,
Thanks for your reply.
It is checked that the listener is running and TNS name service exists. Following your advice, I did create a new listener and another name service and use them, but the same error turns out when trying to log in to the Enterprise Manager again.
Additional information to take note for is that while reconfiguring the existing listener or creating a new listener, a mesage prompts stating "The information provided for this listener is currently in use by other software on this computer. You can proceed with the configuration as it is, but it will not be possible to start this listener until the conflict is resolved. Would you like to continue with the continue with the configuration anyway? Yes/No".
As for the reconfiguration or the new creation of TNS names service, when I am trying to test for the connection, the results in the details pane states that "Connecting... ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. The test did not succeed...."
Would you mind pls advice me on these?
Furthermore, there exist 2 questions I am wondering is that it is stated in the instruction manual that prior to the installation, a static IP should be specified for it instead of the DHCP one; hence, I wanna ask after the complete insallation, is it that the server should be running in the network, i.e. allow it to get connected with the outside network?
2nd question is that can Oracle 9i Database Server Standard Edition (9.0.1) be installed under a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and just a Window XP Professional?
Thanks for your reply.
Best Regards,

How to bind an IIS to the enterprise portal installed on a linux machine
Dear all,
I am very new to the topic of Enterprise Portal.
Our intention is, to develop .NET IViews and deploy them in the Enterprise Portal.
The Enterprise Portal Server is set up on a linux machine.
The Guy who did install the Portal Server, has no idea how to "integrate" the Microsoft IIS to the Portal.
After deploying my .net Component, i tried to view this component in the portal (by right clicking the mouse on the Component in in the .NET Solutions Explorer).
This gives me the following error:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occured while processing a request for:
iView:N/A
Component Name: N/A
Could not find portal application com.sap.portal.dotnet.framework.
Exception id: 02:06.......
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
I think that this has something in common with integrating the IIS on the Linux Machine, and maybe additionaly installing the pdk.net on the IIS webserver machine which should be used.
Thank you for your help.
RegardsHi,
Welcome to the world of Enterprise portal
Seems to me like you are trying to use the PDK for .NET. If so - Please read the overview section in the documentation to get a general idea of how it works (for example - IIS is not used at all!).
See the Visual Studio integrated help or click this https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/dotnet/index.htm
there go to "Getting Started" and mostly "Overview".
Anyway, It seems like the problem is that you didn't deploy the 2 required SDA's to the portal. You should also take a look at the "installation and configuration" guide. Download it here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/dotnet.sdn?contenttype=url&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/pdk for .net administrator guides.zip
Good luck,
Ofer
