OBIEE Analytics URL with fully qualified machine name

Hi All,
I have issue with analytics URL, Analytics URL works fine if it is in this form: [<machine-name>:9704/analytics], but for EBS integration purpose, i need to give fully qualified name like:
[<machine-name>.<domain-name>.<com>:9704/analytics]. It is displaying a note saying:
"you are not currently signed in to Oracle BI Server
If you have already signed in, your connection might have timed out, or a communications or server error may have occured"
Should i do anything extra, to access analytics via fully qualified machine name.
Thanks,
Sreekanth Jala

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, the problem was with IP Address entry i gave in hosts file.
For linux the convention was: <IP Address> <space> <host-name.domain-name.com> <space> <host-name>
I followed the same convention for windows which resulted in this error, for windows it is simply:
<IP Address> <space> <host-name.domain-name.com>
After i corrected this in hosts file, this error was not coming.
Thanks,

Problem connecting through RFC with fully qualified domain name

I am using the .NET Connector and RFC to call a BAPI
I use a fully qualified domain name in the form <DOMAIN>\<HOST>
The RFC seems to have problems with this form of address. It produces the following execption in my .NET code.

Hi Mirco,
additional to my first reply, open a shell window and type
<b>
ping <computername>
</b>
or
<b>
ping -a <ipaddress>
</b>
so you should get the full qualified name for the host.

Fun with fully-qualified class names

In Java, AFAIK, there are three forms of fully-qualified class names:
1) the name you get from Class.getName(), e.g. java.lang.String
2) the name that the VM spec defines as appropriate for (e.g.) constant pool info, e.g. java/lang/String
3) the type name as we see it in bytecode viewers, or in JNI signatures, e.g. Ljava/lang/String;
Here's where it gets fun. I work in CA's Wily division, where we do bytecode instrumentation for app performance management. That is, our code needs to actually insert data into constant pools, and (for obvious reasons, like avoiding VerifyErrors) that data needs to follow type specifications exactly. For the above String example, that works just fine, exactly as specified in the JVMSpec, for JVMs up to 1.5. In 1.6, however, the JNI-ish format is also accepted, that is, I can use Ljava/lang/String; in the constant pool.
Curious.
It gets better. For String[] arrays, I don't know what the "specified" format is -- the JVMSpec is silent on the subject of arrays. I do know that I CANNOT use java/lang/String[], but for 1.5 and 1,6, I CAN use [Ljava/lang/String; -- an apparent contradiction.
Any VM expert wanna chime in on the subject? What IS the proper format for array types in the constant pool, and why does 1.6 tolerate a seemingly-improper format for scalar Objects?

The -link and -linkoffline options enable the documents to link to other API documentation
generated in separate runs of javadoc. Linkoffline is usually the one you want.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/tooldocs/win32/javadoc.html#linkoffline
With 1.4.0, you can also choose to omit the package name even if -link or -linkoffline
is not used by using -noqualifier.

Modifying Portal URL to use Fully Qualified Domain Name

Hi,
We have a portal that I can access now by using the URL 'invsrvr001:50000/irj/portal'. We would need the URL to use the fully qualified domain name such as 'invsrvr001.company.com:50000/irj/portal'. Towards that end we added the profile paramter 'icm/host_name_full' with parameter value 'invsrvr001.company.com' and restarted the server. After the we tried to login to the portal using 'invsrvr001.company.com:50000/irj/portal' but the system displayed 'The page cannot be displayed' error.
What else needs to be done so as to use the fully quailified domain name?
Do I name to change the computer name from 'INVSRVR001' to 'INVSRVR001.COMPANY.COM'?
Regards
ND

Ok, if you want to use FQDN including your domain extention (host.domain.com) you need to include your host into the domain.
Also your PDC should be doing the time of DNS server so check that.
This should solve your issue, please close the thread.

Register system to SLD with fully qualified name

Anybody know how to register the host name for an abap system to the SLD so it uses the fully qualified DNS name? According to the help files in the SLD, it say's: "By default, host names in SLD are written lower case without any network domain"
Our SAP servers are in:
ex.) abc.domain.com
Our desktops are in:
ex.) def.domain.com
So, when developers try to register their local NWDS to the SLD, they cannot reach it. The only solution is for them to add the SAP Server domain (dx.domain.com) into their local tcp/ip settings on their desktop.
Does anybody else have this same issue? Any suggestions on how we can use a FQ DNS name for SLD registration?
-Dave

Sorry for the confusion. I think I may have mis-worded my own question. It was a Friday!
Want I meant to say was, our developers' local JCo connections fail when they try to make a connection to an SAP system listed in the SLD. This is because the two machines (pc and SAP server) reside in different domains.
SAP Servers are in abc.domain.com
Desktop computers are in def.domain.com
The only way for the JCo connection to work from their desktop, is if the developer adds "abc.domain.com" into the tcp/ip settings on their desktop.
If we could register the SAP system in the SLD as a Fully Qualified Name, I think the problem would disappear.

>how can I correct this alert?
Fix your DNS.
This non-fatal error is Apache's way of telling you that it can't work out the hostname of the machine it's running on.
It uses reverse DNS to determine this information. If you don't have a reverse DNS entry for your server's IP address, this is what you get.
Fix your DNS and the alert will go away, or just ignore it.

Ip address to fully qualified domain name

Dear friends, I am unable to get the correct fully qualified domain name from IP address. Please help. I have already spent more than a day searching for the solution on these forums and on google. So now only option remaining is help from you friends.
I think I need to explain my set up first.
The machine runs on Solaris8 & is part of corporate intranet. Java version 1.4.2. I am just a developer (cannot touch networking) and here is what I know about its network set up.
The machine has a network alias ("bluesky"). So when I access it thru telnet using VPN, the command line shows "bluesky" at the prompt. There are at least two domain names that lead to this machine. One is bluesky.XXX.com and another is somesubdomain.yyy.com.
I have a piece of existing Java code that produces the IP number of this
machine. I want to convert it to its domain name (either bluesky.xxx.com or the other one).
When I connect by VPN to the network and use nslookup against the IP on my XP laptop, it displays the full domain (somesubdomain.yyy.com). When I do the same thing after I join the intranet directly (not thru VPN), it again shows the full domain, but the different one bluesky.xxx.com.
Some of the code I tried:
Try 1:
String ip = "";//valid IP here
InetAddress ia = InetAddress.getByName(ip);
String hostname1 = ia.getCanonicalHostName();
String hostname2 = ia.getHostName();When I connect to intranet (without VPN) and run the above code on my laptop, hostname1 and hostname2 both generate "bluesky.xxx.com". This is what I want.
But when I run the code on the remote machine, both strings are only
"bluesky". When I run the code on my laptop after logging into the network using VPN, both produce the second fully qualified domain name. That would also be OK for me if I can get it on remote machine.
Try 2:
I added the following line before the above code (based on forum search).
System.setProperty("sun.net.spi.nameservice.provider.1", "dns,sun");The result was same as Try1.
Try 3:
InetAddress[] iaa = InetAddress.getAllByName(ip);
for(int i=0;i<iaa.length;i++){
System.out.println(iaa.getCanonicalHostName());
System.out.println(iaa[i].getHostName());
When ran on laptop, it iterates only once (I expected it to iterate twice) and produces bluesky.xxx.com for both println statements.
On remote machine, it again produces only "bluesky".
It's getting frustating. Please help. Thanks.

Following could be the reason
When you are running the InetAddress api's to get the domain name on your laptop (windows machine), It is not hitting the DNS server. It is just returning the domian name what is mention in the Laptop configuration. If you are making a security check based on that, then anyone can spoof up his domain name locally and get the desired domain.
When you run the application at some remote machine, it actually resolves the ip address with DNS server.
You may want to use the following code to hit DNS server all the time. But with this I have a issue. I am not able to get the domain when I am on VPN. I have to find the exact reason for this issue.
private static String domainFmReverseDNS(String hostIp) throws IOException
//Record opt = null;
Resolver res = new ExtendedResolver();
Name name = new Name(getReversedIP(hostIp)+ ".in-addr.arpa");
short type = Type.PTR;
short dclass = DClass.IN;
Record rec = Record.newRecord(name, type, dclass);
Message query = Message.newQuery(rec);
Message response = res.send(query);
Record[] answers = response.getSectionArray(Section.ANSWER);
if (answers.length == 0)
System.out.println("reverseDns did not find anything");
return ("NotFound");
else
System.out.println("reverseDns found the value :-)");
return answers[0].rdataToString();
private static String getReversedIP(String ip)
StringTokenizer st = new java.util.StringTokenizer(ip, ".");
String reversedIp=st.nextToken();
while ( st.hasMoreTokens())
reversedIp = st.nextToken()+"."+reversedIp;
return reversedIp;
}

Fully Qualified Host Name

We Have installed Oracle 10g AS and Later Configure it by Changing the Canonical setting to "Off" from Status "On" in the httpd.conf file in apache Directory. so that we can access our application by ip address in place of host name.
After that whenever i tried to to log on to the single sign on it gives error "SSO Failure ........." However it shows in the address bar that the sing on was successfull but the URL same as that fully qualified host name.
now if i change the Host name to the IP everything goes on well
Could anyone please help me to Resolve the issue
Thanks in Advance

Later Configure it by Changing the Canonical setting to "Off" from Status "On" in the httpd.conf file in apache Directory. so that we can access our application by ip address in place of host name.Oracle's AS and related software is heavily dependant on the FQDN (fully-qualified domain name, or how you seem to be referring to the "host name") and how the browser refers to the AS in many places: not just SSO, but Portal, the IAS-Console, and many pieces-parts that support them. I would seriously suggest considering alternatives to trying to refer to the AS by its IP address, especially because the IP address is allowed to change, but oftentimes the hostname is not! That can only become confusing if the IP-address of the machine ever changes. :( I am also very confident that you will have serious issues allowing users outside of your system to use the Oracle Reports that you are developing.
If you are simply developing a J2EE application that refers users to the Oracle Reports servlet, I would highly recommend finding a solution which uses the FQDN of the system rather than its IP address.

Fully Qualified Host Name does not work

Hello,
I've EP 7 with Usage Types AS Java, EPC, EP, BI Java, BP-ERP & XSS.
I am using fully qualified hostname by means of making entries in hosts file at OS level. I've also set icm/host_name_full parameter correctly.
Now when I enter URL as http://<fully qualified hostname>:<port>/irj/portal I am able to login to the system but after which if I try to navigate through any links under Employee Self-Service and Manager Self-Service for e.g. Employee Self-Service --> Benifits and Payment --> Request Claims, nothing happens. neither it throws any error nor does any page is displayed.
Same thing when I try without using fully qualified hostname like http://<hostname>:<port>/irj/portal it works absolutely fine.
I have done same settings as described above on my development as well as production system where it works absolutely fine with fully qualified hostname.

Kashyap

Hi
if you are using proxy try adding your domain name in your proxy exceptions list
Internet Options ->Connections ->Lan Settings->Proxy Server ->Advanced->Exceptions . try adding your host name to that list
hope it will work.

How to set-up Fully Qualified Domain Name in WIN2k3?

Dear Experts,
Admin, please rederict if this is the wrong forum.
I need to set up a FQDN for our one host demo system running on Windows Server 2k3. How do I set it up (without compromizing our system)? On this host we have ECC 6.0 and GRC running.
We don't have a registred domain.
Kind Regards,
Vit Vesely

Hi,
Set your domain name as FQDN (fully qualified domain name.)
1) start the transaction RZ10.
2) select INSTANCE Profile name where your server name is given.
3) Select Extended Maintenance.
4) Click on change button.
5) Change parameter icm/host_name_full to FQDN
6) Copy your settings with new version number.
7) Activate that version.
8) Restart your WAS (Transaction code SMICM -> Administration Menu).
Check that the following services are active in your ICF setting (transaction code SICF)
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/system
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/public/bc
/def ault_host/sap/public/bc
/default_host/sap/public/bc/ur
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/public
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/public/bc
/defaul t_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/system
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/htmlb
Set Request Hanlder Class, add Standard Class provided by SAP to default\sap\bc\bsp\sap service. Right click on default\sap\bc\bsp\sap service service.
Now select display service, go to Handler Tag, and add the class CL_HTTP_EXT_BSP, which is a default HTTP request handler class.

Fully Qualified Domain Name - required ??

Hi,
We are implementing SAP in a 3 system landscape with AIX.
All these systems are not in a domain at the moment, but they are networked.
Is it completely necessary to have these systems in a Windows / Unix domain to run the systems? What basic settings would be necessary to go-live?
I have made changes in the /etc/hosts file to include domain (for example: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gilsaped gilsaped.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com). What else is required to make our portal system URL to be called with the fully qualified domain name?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Abdul

What else is required to make our portal system URL to be called with the fully qualified domain name?
Besides the hosts file entry you will also require a DNS entry.

Fully qualified domain name in EP 6.4 configuration

Hi guys,
I've got some problems with using fully qualified domain names (FQDN) while getting to Portal.
Having EP installed and running properly, I've installed, on my MS Windows 2003 Server (on which my EP is running), DNS to provide FQDN.
Until this my EP worked properly (I get to my portal main page using host name without FQDN - http://<host>:<port>/irj).
After installing DNS and configuring new domain my EP runs properly when I get via simple hostname, but I've noticed, that it isn't working properly, when I try to get via url with FQDN.
The FQDN is correctly recognized on sysop level (ping...) - the problem is surely in EP configuration.
The most common symptom is an empty HTTP page or a portal page containing some interface elements, but without content.
Who knows what I have to change in my EP configuration?
I will be thanful for any help.
Best regards,
Marcin

Hi Chung,
Thanks for advice.
Actually, in my case, problem was in IE internet settings.
The solution was adding host name to the host list in in "local intranet" setting (tabpage Security).

Fully Qualified Host Name for XI Repository etc?

Hi everybody!
How do I get XI 3.0 to generate a URL for the IB:Repository and Directory, for example, with a fully qualified host name, instead of just http://sap2:50000/...? I already implemented Note 773830, but it hasn't helped. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Hi,
I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
Clean the solution
Shut down Visual Studio 2010
Open Visual Studio 2010
Rebuild the solution
Package the project2
et voila the package is generated!
This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
no longer be hanging onto something.
Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
6. The error seems to occur in
CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

Hi
Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents to
c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
Now, the error seems to be related to
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
<metaData>
<type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
<importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
</metaData>
<data>
<properties>
<property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
<property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
</properties>
</data>
</webPart>
</webParts>
.... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.
