Notice: Inventory Channel Maintenance

/Inventory Channel Maintenance
Date : 11th December 2007
Start Time: 0800 EST
End Time : 1200 EST/
Description of Maintenance:
The Inventory Channel will undergo an upgrade Tuesday 11th December
2007 from 0800 EST to 1200 EST. The Inventory Channel Service will be
available during the maintenance. Idle sessions will be disconnected
and users will need to login again. Users may also experience a 1 hour
delay in receiving invitation email notifications./

I wouldn't give access to ALL, as even if there is only limited information now, it might not in the future. Best to give the subnet your management workstations will be running the registration client from, as the tags don't care whom they give the info to.

RMAN Channel is a communication pipeline between a RMAN executable and a target or auxiliary database.
To manually allocate a Maintenance channel in preparation for issuing a CHANGE, DELETE,or CROSSCHECK command. Note that if you use CONFIGURE to set up automatic channels, then RMAN can use these automatic channels for maintenance operations; you do not have to manually allocate them.

Inventory cube maintenance

Hi,
We are using the inventory cube 0IC_C03 for the past 3 years and we have about 100 million records. We have a few reports running off the cube. Now because of the hugh amount of data the query execution takes a very long time approx 20mins.
Are there any performance tuning measures I can take to speed up the query execution? Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi Morpheus;
You can do the compression manually (Manage InfoCube -> Collapse and Select the "With zero Elimination" or in the process chain.
However, performance problems of reports make me raise several questions:
- Did you check the database performance of tables? (RSRV -> Tests in Transaction RSRV -> All Elementary Tests -> Database -> Database Information about InfoProvider Tables -> Your Cube..). If you have in one dimension more than 30% that dimension is given you problems. Try to use the maximun number of dimensions possible and define the most heavy as "Line item dimension" (for material for example".
- Are you using "heavy" characteristics in your cube like material document, sales or purchasing documents? If yes, can't they be remove? The number of records will decrease a lot. You can also track it using DSO.
- Also, check the number of data that is transfered and added to your cube. (usually when transfered is lower that added you need to know why this appends and figger out a way to this doesn't occur).
- Check also the SP used. Higher SP allows higher performance in report execution.
- Finally, check if isn^t possible add more filters in the query and if "fix" filters are in the global area of filters and not in the "local" area.
Regards;
Ricardo

NOTICE OF PLANNED MAINTENANCE: 19-APR-2008

To serve you better, we are making some improvements. An outage is scheduled for Saturday, April 19, 2008 from 12:00 a.m. (midnight) to 7:00 a.m. PDT (07:00-14:00 UTC). During this time, you will not be able to access sites requiring Sun Online Account login or registration. You will be able to visit sites with features that do not require login. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Note: If you have logged in or registered this week, you will not be affected by the outage.

John,
Thank you for the correction. I am working on my stuttering problem, but sometimes it manifests itself in my finger tips, when it should not.
Maybe I have been typing too many Dutch names, like Harm Millaard, and got carried away... ?
I greatly appreciate your editing work, but have to admit that I have no $ to pay you for your efforts - sorry.
Hunt

Notice of Planned Maintenance Saturday July 19 2008

To serve you better, we are making some improvements.
An outage is scheduled for Saturday, July 19, 2008 from 05:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. PDT
(12:30-18:30 UTC ).
During this time, you may not be able to create or update a Sun Online Account.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

Prior to this Increase Capacity for Outbound Network Calls update, my Azure websites experienced occasional connection attempt failed errors as posted
here. Since this update the errors stopped but starting on 12/30/14, these errors started up again"
"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond [IP]:80"
It occurs when attempting to consume an external web service over HTTP. This issue is not reproducible on our local environments nor did it occur with our previous shared hosting provider. On Azure, the same web service call can result in this error or will
return a response successfully. There doesn't appear to be any pattern as to why the same call would work one time but not another.
Please review and resolve as before. Thanks.

ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE sbt

what are the scenarios that we have to use the below statement.
RMAN> ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE sbt;

first you have to understand why we allocate channel for rman..it crates a session to target database,To manually allocate a channel, which is a connection between RMAN and a database instance. Each connection initiates an Oracle server session on the target or auxiliary instance: this server session performs the work of backing up, restoring, or recovering backup sets and copies.
Restrictions and Usage of this command
Execute this command only at the RMAN prompt. This command cannot be used within a RUN block.
The target instance must be started.
Do not specify a channel ID.
You cannot allocate a maintenance channel to a shared session.
You cannot prefix ORA_ to a channel name. RMAN reserves channel names beginning with the ORA_ prefix for its own use.
Manually allocated channels (maintenance or normal channels) and automatic channels based on configured settings are never mixed. To perform maintenance on both disk and SBT simultaneously using manually allocated maintenance channels, you must allocate both SBT and DISK channels explicitly.
If you use ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE, then RMAN uses the following convention for channel naming: ORA_MAINT_devicetype_n, where devicetype refers to DISK or sbt and n refers to the channel number. For example, RMAN uses these names for two manually allocated disk channels:
ORA_MAINT_DISK_1
ORA_MAINT_DISK_2
You can allocate multiple maintenance channels for a single job, but you should only use this feature in these situations:
o
To allow crosschecking or deletion of all backup pieces or proxy copies, both on disk and tape, with a single command
o
To make crosschecking and deleting work correctly in an Oracle Real Application Clusters configuration in which each backup piece or proxy copy exists only on one node
here is some example of this command you should check this..
Deleting a Backup Set: Example This example deletes backup sets from tape created more than a week ago:
ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE sbt;
DELETE NOPROMPT BACKUP OF DATABASE COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-7';
Crosschecking Archived Logs: Example This example crosschecks all archived logs on disk and tape. For disk, the preconfigured disk channel is used; for tape, an SBT channel is allocated manually. If the logs are not found, then RMAN marks them as EXPIRED in the repository:
ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE sbt;
CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
Crosschecking on Multiple Nodes of an Oracle Real Application Clusters Configuration: Example In this example, you perform a crosscheck of backups on two nodes of an Oracle Real Application Clusters configuration, where each node has access to a subset of backups. It is assumed here that all backups are accessible by at least one of the two nodes used in the crosscheck. Any backups not accessible from at least one of the nodes are marked EXPIRED after the crosscheck.
ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE DISK CONNECT 'SYS/change_on_install@inst1';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE DISK CONNECT 'SYS/change_on_install@inst2';

OOS b-channel

On my syslog I notice this kind of error on E1 b-channel:
%CCM_CALLMANAGER-CALLMANAGER 3-BChannelOOS
I also notice that:
- I have an OOS b-channel from Real Time Monitoring Tool.
- if I disconnect the E1 cable from the router and then I connect the cable, the b-channel becomes idle
Reading the Cisco documentation it is recommended to contact the TAC.
Meanwhile anyone could help me?
Thanks
dna

The explanation for your syslog message is " The B-channel indicated by this alarm has gone out of service. Some of the more common reasons for a B-channel to go out of service include: Taking the channel out of service intentionally to perform maintenance on either the near- or far-end; MGCP gateway returns an error code 501 or 510 for a MGCP command sent from Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM); MGCP gateway doesn't respond to an MGCP command sent by Unified CM three times; a speed and duplex mismatch exists on the Ethernet port between Unified CM and the MGCP gateway"
Recommended action:
Check the Unified CM advanced service parameter, Change B-channel Maintenance Status to determine if the B-channel has been taken out of service intentionally; Check the Q.931 trace for PRI SERVICE message to determine whether a PSTN provider has taken the B-channel out of service; Reset the MGCP gateway; Check the speed and duplex settings on the Ethernet port.

B-channel oos and protocol error 510

Dear all,
I have some some issue couple of days ago. The telephony system of my client worked well and suddenly the cannot make external calls via E1. I checked the config and for me it seems to be ok. When I checked the SDL file, I can see the B channel out of service error message following by the
"MGCP PROTOCOL ERROR: <S1/SU1/DS1-0/[email protected]> CRCX error code: 510". They have A CUCM 6.0 and Cisco 2821 as gateway with 12.4 (25f) advance IP service IOS.
I perform the following actions without success:
-From the CUCM in the advance service I forced the Bchannel to bring it in service,
- no mgcp/mgcp, -reboot the CUCM and the Gateway,
-reset the controller throug CUCM,... in vain.
They contacted telco and has confirm that everything seems to be ok. Find below the information that can help you to undestand better

Thanks for your help

The explanation for your syslog message is " The B-channel indicated by this alarm has gone out of service. Some of the more common reasons for a B-channel to go out of service include: Taking the channel out of service intentionally to perform maintenance on either the near- or far-end; MGCP gateway returns an error code 501 or 510 for a MGCP command sent from Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM); MGCP gateway doesn't respond to an MGCP command sent by Unified CM three times; a speed and duplex mismatch exists on the Ethernet port between Unified CM and the MGCP gateway"
Recommended action:
Check the Unified CM advanced service parameter, Change B-channel Maintenance Status to determine if the B-channel has been taken out of service intentionally; Check the Q.931 trace for PRI SERVICE message to determine whether a PSTN provider has taken the B-channel out of service; Reset the MGCP gateway; Check the speed and duplex settings on the Ethernet port.

Certain Maintenance Plan not getting scheduled in the background job

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an issue here.
A weekly background job (RISTRA20) runs every weekend and schedules the maintenance plans.
But we have noticed that some maintenance plans are not getting scheduled. i.e no orders or schedule is getting generated.
When I run IP30 manually for these plans then the schedule gets generated and orders get called.
I have checked up the background job and it is running fine.
Also, i have noticed a similarity in all these plans which are not getting scheduled. There schedule has been restarted (through IP10) at somepoint or the other.
But i don't see any direct impact of this?
Can any of you provide some help on this?? Points will be rewarded.
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Saini

Hi Narender,
Thanks for replying.
The message number for 'Groups don't match' is ME303.
I think this does not have anything to do with the restart as i have done further investigation.
Whenever I run IP30 with sortfield input as AS02*, i get the error as mentioned above for a certain number of maintenance plans while the remaining plans get scheduled.
If i run IP30 for any other sort fields, it runs fine and i don't encounter the error
mentioned above.
If you send me ur email address, i could forward you screen-shots of the issue.

BBC America HD Channel Not Available

I'm seeing a notice on channel 689 for BBC America HD that the channel isn't available, but I can view the SD version on 189. Anyone else having this problem? I used the in home agent and it didn't report any outages.

Thanks, tns. Tried rebooting and I guess I'll have to try the dreaded reset and lose my settings. I may wait a day or so to see if I get lucky and it fixes itself. Appreciate you letting me know it's working for you. Anyone on VHO 2 having problems (Florida)?

Why do premium movie channels alter the widescreen aspect ratio?

Why do channels like HBO HD and Cinemax HD change the aspect ratio of movies? I have seen movies that I own on dvd or blu-ray that are 2:35:1 or 2:40:1 aspect ratio (meaning very wide and you see some thin black bars at the top and bottom of your screen) but when they are broadcast on these movie channels it looks like the films are partially panned & scanned down to a 1:85:1 ratio (not as wide and the bars are gone).
This is really stupid, and the movies are not being shown in their full widescreen orginal presentation. What do they have to gain by cutting off parts of the picture? I have noticed some channels like showtime don't do this, but most do. Obviously this isn't verizons doing its the channel providers, but it's annoying.
And what's with all the logos all over the premium channels nowadays? These are paid channels the screen should be clear of any and all logos and any add overlays. If I want to know the channel and rating I'm watching I'll just press the guide button, it's overkill.

They do this for the OnDemand movies as well. I agree...it is VERY annoying. There is NO reason for it. Sure,there are some people out there who want their screen filled, but they can always use the ZOOM button to do that. It's a terrible practice and I never watch movies on channels that crop them (and am cancelling the channels that do it when my contract bundle expires). The only channels that show movies in the correct ratios are SHOWTIME, THE MOVIE CHANNEL, and HDNet MOVIES. (EPIX shows old movies in OAR but crop newer films.)
The others, Notably HBO that started this practice, do occassionally show OAR. But usually only when the director specifically had in his agreement that his picture would only be so displayed when marked to TV channels.

Lost channel settings in group properties and blending options when switching to or from 16bit

I recently noticed that Channels-settings in both Group Properties and Blending Options are lost when changing a file from 8bit to 16bit and vice versa.
Could someone please verify if the behaviour is the same on their set-up?

I moved it to the enduring forum. According to: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lost_channel_settings_in_group_prope rties_and_blending_options_when_switching_to_or_from_16bit
the behavior is now correct with CS6.

Search has incorrect channel numbers

We were just upgraded to the new channel lineup today (Southeastern PA). When I do a search, I notice the channels, particularly for HD still show the old channel numbers. Do you know how I can update to get the new HD channel numberss for the shows search on in the search? I have tried resetting the box by unplugging, waiting, and plugging back in.
Thanks,
Jim

Just to add a few notes to the previous post you mentioned that your clients drop when you associate to 'those'devices. Does this suggest that you have other AP's as well?
It almost sounds like you are roaming between subnets.
I hate to ask, but you do have all your AP's on the same subnet, right?
I apologize in advance but given what I have seen over the years, that unfortunately, is a legitimate question.
When you did the site survey to determine where the AP's would go, what antennas you would use, and what power and channel settings would be, what was the threshold for the datarate? I got popped once because I wasn't aware that older Symbol scanners transmit Data at 1 and 2 Mbps. I was locking the AP at 11Mbps to control my cell sizes.
That became quite apparent rather quickly. Multipath is another issue you need to consider as well.
I would consider a walkthrough with some Airmagnet to see if you are having any of these issues and possibly schedule a re-survey using same vendor gear.

Credit for Missing Channels

I am highly upset and I just spoke with a supervisor by the name of Braxton {edited for privacy}. I have not received over 100 channels since my account has been set up in april or may of 2014. I work full time, a business owner, full time student and a mother. I do not have time to go through 200 channels to make sure each channel is working. I noticed one channel said unavailable; bt this was the first time I ever had Verizon, so I was like ok no big deal. A month or so later I noticed the same channel stated unavailable, this is a channel I am subscribed to in my package. In October, I had sum time and went through all the channels I was supposed to have and noticed I did not have over 100 channels n which I called to report the situation. As of yesterday I had trouble shooting done again in which my box was reset 3 xs again. The tech agent (Braxton stated he could not give me the rep's name) stated this was a verizon issue and they would send an agent immediatedly to my home. He also mentioned for me to contact customer service and I would get a partial credit back from when I had service installed and also free premium channels. The technician came over today switch the box and it stil was not giving me channels then he switched out the main verizon box in my shed. He stated my box installed was a bad box. I called back to customer service, the customer service rep stated they could give me free HBO for a year which I am grateful for and then when I mentioned the credit as mentioned to me from the tech rep, the agent mentioned they could only do a partial for 3 months. I asked for the supervisor and he said they can only do three months. This is rediculous if I was not able to receive all the channels I have been paying for all these months. I was told that I could get a partial credit from when my service was installed because Verizon installed a bad cable box which should have been checked before the inital technician left. This is not my fault and I have no reason to lie about this situation. I would like the amount of credit that I am due. I have been on the phone with customer service/tech support approx. 6 hours or more due to this situation which is taking time and money away from me and my family. I will also be writing to Verizon Communications. How would you feel if you are paying hundrends of dollars for service you haven't received?

RAP and MAPs change the channel and Radio Role

I have a WLC 2504 with version AIR-CT2500-K9-7-5-102-0, LAPs are AIR-CAP2602E-A-K9
I set serveral LAPs for working in mesh mode, I set three Bridge Group Name, the first group has one Root AP and three MAPS working in channel 157, every MAP has a switch connected to its ethernet port.
the second group has 2 LAPs one Root and one MAP, all working in channel 48. The MAP is connected to a switch.
the third group has 2 LAPs, one root and one MAP, all working in channel 149. The MAP is connected to a switch.
The issue is the next:
At the beginnig every LAPs were associated to its bridge group and in the channel defined but suddenly all LAPs of group 1 move to channel 48 (second group) includind the ROOT AP. This happend after the switch that connect to the RAP was disconnect from LAN.
In order the associate once again LAPs of the first group to the channel I defined previously I connected RAP to the switch once again I notice the channel shown was 48 and in downlink role mode.I change to channel 157 reset the LAP and wait several minutes; after the first reset the RAP remains in channel
48 (it must be 157), I reset once again and wait severeal minutes. Finally the RAP was up and working in channel 157.
After this I reset the MAPs that corresponde to BGN 1 , after severasl minutes finally just one MAPs for BGN 1 was show in the correct channel and in the correct Radio role, I have to reset several times the other MAPs until they were shown in the channel I set previously and in the correct radio role.
I would like to know the reason the RAP and MAP move to a differente channel eventhough I define de Bridge Group Name in every one and the specific channel.
regards

Hi scott ,
Thanks for your explanation, very clear.
In my scenario every RAP connet to a switch where I define VLANs and specific VLANs are allow to pass. If RAP and MAP join to a different RAP (different BGN)
it will allow to pass traffic or maybe don't allow traffic I needs to . That's why I worry about the keep the MAPs join to the correct RAP and the RAP keep in the BGN and channel set previously.
is there any option to this avoid this issue?
Thanks a lot for your time
regards
