Newbie clustering question / multicasting

Hi,
          Wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction. I want to run
          Weblogic in a cluster. My sticking point seems to be the multicasting
          aspect. I have three boxes with 192.168.1.xxx address. They connect to a
          Netopia SDSL router so I can connect to the Internet. I have 1 WAN IP and 2
          useable public IPs so I can map each of the three IPs to each of my three
          boxes. Been trying to read up on multicasting. From weblogic documentation
          I need a multicast address. Is it correct that this address would be the
          address of my router? But I don't think my router supports multicasting
          since it's just a cheap dsl router. Is there anything I can do to get
          around this problem?
          Thanks.

Correction to my previous post. The multicast addresses can only be in the
          range 224.0.0.1 to 239.255.255.255. The 192.168.1.xxx addresses are fine for
          the machines.

General place for newbie datamodeler questions?

With the production release of SQL Developer Data Modeler I'd assume that this forum will draw a bunch of new users. Is there a better place to ask some pretty simple, newbie like questions that won't bother the more seasoned members?
For instance, I am working in a Rails environment, which has some stringent naming conventions, one of which is that all of the primary key columns are numeric and called "id", with the foreign key linked columns called <table_name>_id. When engineering a logical model to a relational model, the added foreign key columns are all "id#". Is there a way I can define a naming rule to keep me from having to redo the relation column names?
Also, we have a standard set of columns (mostly Rails related) which appear in every table. Can I define a generation rule which automatically includes these tables?
Thanks

Thank you. I will try changing that setting.
IS there a setting which tells the relational model to automatically create pk and fk indexes? I haven't seen one, and manually setting them up is a tedious task. --sw

Newbie script question... consecutive numbers with update.

complete newbie type question... this is also my first post. ( I am using CS3)
does anyone have a script which can make it so I can add numbers into the text consecutively.
for example, if this is my text "the big fat dog sat on the very wide mat, but was then displaced by a unfriendly cat."
and I wanted to place a number 1, number 2, 3, etc at points in the text so it read, "the big fat dog1 sat on the very wide mat2, but was then displaced by a unfriendly cat3." but later wanted to add another number and have later numbers update themselves, so the text then said, "the big fat dog1 sat on the very wide mat2, but was then displaced3 by a unfriendly cat.4".
by inserting the three, the previous three became four.
Has anyone got something which might be useful in this regard.
Many thanks
Steve

i wanted to avoid footnotes as they leave a bar at the bottom of each page.
i wanted a script to do something similar to footnotes but not much further.
does anyone have just a simple script that can do what I asked?

Newbie XSan question - authenticating a computer from XSan Admin

Hello - I have a very newbie XSan question!
I have 2 computers that connect to an XSan. 1 I am having no problems with. The other I am unable to connect with.
When I look in XSan Admin the 2nd computer (the one that is not working) is not authenticated.
So I click on it and choose Authenticate. I enter what I know is an Admin username and password for the computer I am attempting to connect. The dot next to the computers IP turns green with 3 dots in it and then it turns gray again. It just does not connect.
What is the problem?
Is it licensing?
Thanks
Taj

You need a different license ID for each machine, plus the admin machine. Do you have that?

Newbie Labview Question: Array of clusters

1: i am a student
2: this is not homework or a graded project
3: I'm a pretty capable programmer, but that's in text-based languages. ;-)
I have a sensor feed which contains 4 channels. I need to leave all 4 channels active, but I want to select one of them to graph at any given time. The data from the NI driver for the hardware comes as a 1x4 array of 2-element clusters.
Normally, I'd just index to the desired element in the 1x4 array, and feed that cluster to the appropriate graphing tool, but I'm missing something. I swiped a display element from the NI driver example VI's, but any time I insert blocks between the data feed and the graph I get "bad connection" errors.
I've been googling and book-looking for several days now, to no avail, I'd appreciate any help in this question.
in the image at ( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4286123/LabviewHelp.jpg ), what block do i need to insert into the highlighted wire to be able to select and graph only one of the 4 data channels, controlled by an integer source?
Many thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use the Index Array funtion found in the Array palette. Wire in the index number of the waveform you wish to display.

This Newbie Has Questions

Hi there. I am a newbie to Apple. I purchased the iBook last month and of course, when the MacBook (which had the features I wanted) came out, I rushed out and got one and I'm very pleased with my purchase - but I have a few "newbie" questions:
1) Printing on a PC based Linksys seems to be a nightmare. I can't get anything printed on the shared HP 2600N and HP1012 printers. I literally have to disconnect them from the PC and plug the USB directly to my MacBook to print. It seems like there should be a better, easier and MacFriendly way of doing this - anyone have an easy solution?
2) I'm going to purchase Windows XP so I can run my windows programs on this computer. Does anyone have any pre-installation advice?
3) I have a blackberry device that worked fine with my iBook, but does not work with my MacBook - any suggestions or is there a software compatibility patch?
4) I transferred everything from my old Mac to my new Mac with no problem. How can I migrate my contacts from Entourage to the Address Book?
5) I notice that sometimes the MacBook "stalls" or doesn't work fast in some functions...is it just me - I expect the machine to jump quickly...but sometimes I get that annoying pinwheel when opening programs.
Thanks for your help!

The problem is probably a driver issue.

You may need to use a third-party driver such as the HPIJS drivers or the Gimp-Print drivers, but this is not the case with all printers.
2) I'm going to purchase Windows XP so I can run my
windows programs on this computer. Does anyone have
any pre-installation advice?
Ensure you get a full version (not an upgrade version) and it comes with XP SP2 already.
Do not install Boot Camp on a critical machine and make regular backups of your data, this is beta software and there are bugs and issues.

Are these Universal or PPC only applications?

How To: CF11 Clustering without Multicast (AWS)

This week I've been working on getting clustering setup for a client. Initially we were using CF10 with the latest patches. Ideally we wanted non-sticky load balancing with session replication. We want really high availability with the option to reboot a server at any time and not have to wait for session draining or lose customers if a node goes down. Adam Cameron points out that there is an issue with CF10 and not having an option to turn on session replication Adam Cameron's CFML Blog: Problem with session replication with CF10 clustering. Trying various fixes I could not get the session to replicate we moved to CF11 which restores that issue. There is a bug open for CF10 with some weird responses but I never saw any sort of fix for this.
CF11 as noted solves this odd issue, so I thought we were in the clear. Following the limited cluster setup guides found online there is some manual configuration to do on the remote instance. First, I am not sure if the default cfusion instance just can't be used as a member of a cluster but I had a hard time ever getting it to work. So both the local and remote instance use new CF11 instances created from within the Instance Manager. The instructions Adobe ColdFusion 10 * Enabling clustering for load balancing and failover are mostly correct in that you have to copy the <cluster> node to the remote instance. One issue pointed out in a few places is that the cluster block has to actually go IN the <host> node and not after it. CF10, CF11 and maybe even CF9 put the block (and the documents suggest putting the block) after the </host> tag which, in my experience, does not work.
After everything was configured and I started up my test I could not get the remote node to respond at all. Looking in the cf error log I constantly saw this line:
INFO: Manager [/]: skipping state transfer. No members active in cluster group.
Digging in to the tomcat clustering discussions this basically means the cluster couldn't find the remote instance. By default CF uses the multicast cluster support in tomcat and doesn't have an option to do anything different. Researching this found that AWS does not support broadcast nor multicast in EC2. Further research showed how tomcat could be configured for static cluster member configuration and so I modified the server.xml files to match and viola, cluster with session replication. Using the ELB on AWS we have sticky sessions disabled (basically round-robin style requests) and the requests bounce evenly between the instance members. The session id's, however, stay the same on each page load even though the request is going to a different host.
So here is what the cluster node of the server.xml looks like:
<Cluster className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster" channelSendOptions="8" channelStartOptions="3">
        <Manager notifyListenersOnReplication="true" expireSessionsOnShutdown="false" className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager"/>
        <Channel className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.GroupChannel">
          
          <Receiver port="4001" autoBind="100" address="auto" selectorTimeout="5000" maxThreads="6" className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.NioReceiver"/>
          <Sender className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.ReplicationTransmitter">
            <Transport className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.PooledParallelSender"/>
          </Sender>
          <Interceptor className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.TcpPingInterceptor"/> 
          <Interceptor className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.TcpFailureDetector"/>
          <Interceptor className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.MessageDispatch15Interceptor"/>
      <Interceptor className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.StaticMembershipInterceptor">
                <Member className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.StaticMember"
                  port="4002"
                  host="172.31.33.220"
                  domain="delta-static"
                  uniqueId="{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}"
                />
          </Interceptor>
        </Channel>
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.ReplicationValve" filter=""/>
        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteBinderValve"/>
        <ClusterListener className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener"/>
        <ClusterListener className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.ClusterSessionListener"/>
      </Cluster>
You can see the <membership> node is commented out (this is the multicast function). The TcpPingInterceptor is added and the StaticMembershipInterceptor is added. The reciever port on this instance is 4001 and the remote instance is 4002 so the interceptor uses 4002 on this instance to contact the remote host and vice-versa. In other words the remote instance will use the same <cluster> node with the ports switch and the host IP address changed on the static interceptor. The uniqueID then rotates on each member going from {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15} to {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,0}
Of course each additional member to the cluster will mean manual changes to each existing member (to add additional static interceptors) but that seems a small price to pay to not have to move our entire environment off AWS.

Hope I am not hijacking your excellent post.
Some details to add for findings on AWS EC2 environment.

Newbie wireless question (slightly off-topic)

I didn't want to post this here as it's not entirely an Airport-specific question. I posted this to the iBook forums, but nobody there has answered so my apologies if this is not welcome here. (Any moderators can remove it if that's the case.)
I've been using computers extensively for over a decade, but I'm a total newbie to wifi. I just set up a wireless network in my house and would appreciate some advice/feedback.
My main concerns are whether or not my network is reasonably secure. I know there is no such thing as perfect security, but I don't know if what I've done is good enough or not.
I don't have an Airport base station, but I do have a D-Link Airplus G and an Airport card in my iBook. I have WEP set up on the router and I have enabled MAC filtering, listing only my desktop and my iBook, excluding all others from the network.
I'm fairly certain that nobody in my neighborhood is going to get into my machines this way or be able to sniff my network data stream, but am I right in assuming that nobody can "piggyback" on my Internet connection too? Presumably, if everyone but my own machines are MAC-filtered and kept out, then the Internet connection is also protected. Is that how it works?

WEP and MAC filtering are better than nothing, but you can do better. These are my suggestions:
1. Use WPA with a pre-shared key (PSK) and TKIP encryption on your Netgear router, along with an alphanumeric passphrase of at least eight characters not found in any dictionary. The equivalent setting on your Mac is "WPA Personal". Unlike WEP security (which an expert can crack in under half an hour), WPA security is currently unhackable by any practical means as long as you use a non-dictionary passphrase. One last point - WPA security requires all your wireless Macs to be running MacOS 10.3 or newer.
2. MAC filtering is (these days) essentially useless as a wireless security method. Using "packet sniffing" of traffic on your wireless network to find out what MAC addresses are used by computers on your network, and a PC that allows its MAC address to be cloned so that it is identical to the MAC address of one your own wireless computers (which is possible with most PC wireless network adapters) even an amateur hacker can defeat MAC address filtering in minutes.
By the way - I don't think your posted message here is off topic. In my opinion, the Airport discussion forums are the best place to post any questions related to usage of wireless networks. Questions of this nature are virtually never specific to any Mac model.

IronPort Clustering questions

Hello all,
I have some questions about clustering in Ironport:
Actually I have one IronPort C150 in "Standalone mode" with an ip adress who takes the mail flow (192.168.1.34)
We received a second Ironport for setup a cluster configuration between them.
My question are :
1) What happen for the mail flow if the first IronPort ( 192.168.1.34) move to a cluster configuration ?
I have to configure a virtual address to be same of the original ip adress mail flow (192.168.1.34) or the cluster takes the original configuration of the first IronPort ?
2) If one Ironport Fail, the second IronPort automatically takes the mail? or i have to reconfigure manually the ip address ?
Thanks for your help.
PS: Sorry for my english

I agree with your thoughts on MX records. The biggest benefit to using a load balancer is with the management. Once you start getting a large number of hosts in an MX record you start running into problems with senders correctly resolving your MX records due to inproper DNS configuration on the internet (UDP vs TCP). Standing up a large number of hosts behind some load balancers is one potential solution. This of course comes with its own set of challenges.
I'm still using MX records, but at some point will need to look at having multiple machines behind each host in my MX records to cut down on the size of the returned record.
I just wish I could get all of my application developers to write their apps to understand MX records. Load balancers have worked well for my outbound environment where most applications are pointing at a host name instead of an MX record.

Newbie saving question in Illustrator

I know this is a newbie question. I designed a logo in Illustrator. Is there a way to save just the logo for exporting into other applications (ie Pagemaker or Photoshop) without having the white artboard?
Thanks
Brad

I don't know Pagemaker but with Photoshop I simply select all, copy and then paste in Photoshop - transparency will be maintained. If you paste as a Smart Object you retain the ability to edit the Illustrator artwork in Illustrator and update the PS file.

OAS Clustering question

Hi
I have a question here, if I would like to create file-based repository cluster for 2 nodes(J2EE container and web cache) 10.1.2.0.2, what should I do first?
1. create the cluster and join the 2 nodes then deploy my oc4j application?
2. deploy my oc4j application to both nodes then cluster them up?
My target : load-balancing

You may wish to create the clusters first and then deploy your application.
The following link would help if you are using 10gR2.

Broker clustering question

In our current setup, we have a few brokers clustered together without a master broker. These brokers serve the same client applications and therefore should have the same set of topics/destinations. My question is should I create these topics on each of the broker or should I just create them on one of the brokers and let JMS provider service to replicate these topics on all other brokers when they are clustered? I have created these topics on the broker before I put it to the cluster and I have seen some strange behaviours with the cluster and I'm not sure if it's related. Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance for your feedbacks.

Currently we created all the destinations on the broker before we added it to the cluster. These destinations are the same as the ones that are already created on all of the brokers on the cluster. Will that confuse JMS service provider because it will try to forward the information to all the brokers in the cluster? We saw messages stuck on ACTIVE subscribers. We saw messages got lost. We saw messages went through for a few hours and a subscriber became INACTIVE for no reasons. I'm not sure if these are related, but I have no ideas where to look.
Is there any reason why you cannot use a master broker?We didn't want to use a master broker because our requirements didn't allow us to have a single point failure. With a designated master node, and if that node dies, will the cluster still function? Another reason is because we have a pre-defined set of destinations and connection factories on all of the brokers, we don't think a master node will be neccessary. Is it correct?
Thanks.

Dumb newbie hardware question! :)

Hi folks,
I'm new to the world of the blackberry and am just about to take the plunge with an unlocked sim-free BB Bold to use in the UK on Vodafone. I have read about the software differences between BIS and BES and would be going for a BIS set-up. My dumb newbie question is does the hardware come in BES and BIS versions or not?
Many thanks in advance and feel free to mock my foolishness
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hello, about BIS and BES it's explained on the website but it's clear that if someone sums it up for you it will be easier...
so BES is a type of contract between a company and Blackberry. The company IT buy computers, put Blackberry servers, and buy a fleet of Blackberry Devices for the people in the company to use them and get email through the Blackberry servers.
BIS is a type of contract between a common person and a carrier. The consumer goes to the carrier, and buys a Blackberry device, and a BIS plan that will enable him/her to :
phone/sms/mms
receive emails that have been configured on the BIS site
do data things if you subscribe to (like browse the web)
You can buy a Blackberry from a carrier that has a deal with RIM (the company that sells Blackberries). Or you can buy a blackberry alone, and then go and contact a carrier that has a deal with RIM.
phone/sms/mms
receive emails that have been configured on the BIS site
do data things if you subscribe to (like browse the web)

NEWBIE SOA Question:Appl Development for SOA

This question may have been answered elsewhere; if so, my apologies.
As a newbie to SOA, I am trying to wrap my head around the question of how app. development for SOA differs from traditional models. For example, non-SOA environments there are few external considerations when coding a process,
but in SOA environments, I understand everything is a service.
Can someone provide a few code snippets as to how they would look in each environment?
I have read through several documents on SOA and have done the SOA tutorial, etc. but I have yet to see a side-by-side comparison of application code in SOA and non-SOA environments.
How would an architect plan the translation and mapping of business objectives and functional requirements into a technical solution for SOA, architecting the SOA solution ?
I would really appreciate any pointers (links to articles, etc.) in this direction. Thank you.

Hello Gordon,
SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) - as the name indicates, it's design is based on services. SOA is another integration technique which is used for small scale integration. SOA is an approach to have software resources in an enterprise available and discoverable on network as well defined services. Each service would achieve a predefined business objective and perform discrete units of work. The services are independent and do not depend on the context or state of the other services. They work within distributed systems architecture.
Few links which may help you in understanding SOA and it's design patterns -

Newb HD questions...?

I'm a newb to HD and we've just got funding for a HD camera. The boss bought a Panasonic AG-HMC150P.
The question is about recording mode, in "p" or "i". Currently it is set for 1080/60i, its top setting. But it has a 1080/30p too.
Our products will be made to view on a TV screen ntsc, and a computer screen.
Is the "i" setting the best for us? ie: is there any advantage in us using the 30p setting?
Also, I have FCP6 and a colleague has FCP5 on a less powerful machine.
Whats the best way to hand him newly captured HD footage? Is it to render it out using H264 on my machine before passing it over?
We are hoping funding for software upgrade/machine will come soon for him.

Well, the short answer is "i" (interlaced) is only for display on older CRT "tube" televisions. "p" (progressive) is for display on computers and flat screen televisions. Typically you should try to stay progressive these days. 60i can be useful if you are going to slow-mo any shoots.
Do NOT convert your files to H.264 to send to another edit. H.264 is not a good codec for editing, use it for distribution of edited material only.
For sharing with FCP5 on a slower computer, consider using DVCProHD.
