ODBC Server lock database and site goes in timeout

My configuration:
Coldfusion Enterprise 9.0.1 32 bit on Windows Server 2008 Web Edition 64 bit, 4Gb Ram, 2 Xeon processors
The sites using Microsoft Access Database, randomlly, go in timeout. This is due to the fact that "ODBC Server" lock the database (in the db folder there are the .ldb file). If I restart the "ODBC Server" service, the database is released and the site works. Do you have any idea how to resolve this issue?

The log file is:
02/06 09:08:15 Error [jrpp-1210] - File not found: /csv/_foto_pup.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\HostingSpaces\andrea.guarda\associazioni.csv.vda.it\wwwroot\csv\_foto_pup.cfm''

> How do you temporarily overcome the problem for now, restart CF ODBC services?
Yes, i have enabled the server monitor with timeout alerts configured, when i recieve a mail, i restart the ODBC server and all works fine for 4-5 days.
>When CF has stopped talking the ACCESS datasource does the ODBCAD32 panel still verify OK?
Yes odbcad32 works fine. In the server the version of microsoft Access Driver is 14.00.4670 (Office 2010), this can be a problem?

    Hi,
    This is configuration issue.
    Have you added the loop back interface ip of router on to AAA server as a AAA client?
    Are the shared key same on both router and aaa?
    If both the above are fine the remove the entire aaa configuration and apply them frsh as below.
    no aaa new mode
    enable password ***********
    username admin privilege 15 password *********

  • Apps locked / frozen and on going to setting and rest it asks for pass code. Use standard one that I use all the time and it states 1 failed attempt. I have not forgotten pass ode as I use it 20 times a day. Over 70 years of age so make the response simpl

    The 3 apps required updating but they have frozen. Did not realise this until Candy Crush froze. Went to reset and it asked for pass code. I entered standard code and it stated one failed attempt. I may be over 70 years of age but have not forgotten pass code!! I hope that the solution is simple!!

  • SQL Plus and ODBC w/different database types

    In order to connect to Oracle lite, we go through ODBC in SQL Plus (ex:login/pw@ODBC:polite)
    Can I utilize this method to connect SQL Plus to a SQL Server 7 database and from there run the COPY TO command to copy data into my Oracle database? If so, what do I need to install to make this work? Is there a specific version of SQL Plus that this works with?

    examples:
    - optimizer_mode is 'RULE' when I select using SQL*Plus and 'CHOOSE' when I use SQL*Plus Worksheet.
    - large_pool_size is 32Mb when I select using SQL*Plus and 108Mb when I use SQL*Plus Worksheet.
    etc.

  • RMAN, RAC, NFS, and server lock ups

    Good day. My environment is:
    --a 2-node RAC
    --Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.3
    --RHEL 5.1
    The goal is to use RMAN to push backups to a shared NFS mount (on a different server). Both nodes will have access to this location (in the event one node goes down, the other can still run backups). Easy, right?
    Wrong.
    I've tried every NFS mount option in the book. Most work just fine, some don't. When I use the recommended NFS mount options:
    rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp, vers=3,timeo=600, actimeo=0
    or
    rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,noac,forcedirectio, vers=3,suid
    The mount works normally. I can "ls" and "mkdir" and "touch" and "vi" and "cp" files back and forth from the NFS backup location to the RAC node all day long. No problems. However, when I try to do almost anything in RMAN which requires writing to the NFS backup location such as the command "backup archive all delete input;" (or even things as simple as a Crosscheck or RMAN configuration change which writes any changes back to the autobackup ControlFile) the node locks up. There are no errors (or if there are, I don't know where to find them), even when I use RMAN log.
    Just to recap: I run a Crosscheck (or any RMAN process that writes to the NFS backup location), the node will lock up, and I can let it sit for a day, inaccessible, with CRSCTL on the other node saying it's offline, and the node will never come out of a "frozen" state. It cannot be pinged or connected to.
    I think I can safely rule out NFS mount options at this point.
    I understand (after extensive reading of MOS docs and testing) that RAC RMAN can and does suffer from inefficient I/O when writing to an NFS mount. I don't think that's the culprit either. The autobackup ControlFile is not that big and I cannot see how running a simple Crosscheck would lock an entire node.
    I am hoping someone has encountered this in the past and hopefully it's just a simple misconfiguration somewhere.

    My NFS line in /etc/fstab is (these options are for supporting 11.2.0.3, 11.1.0.7, and 10.2.0.4/5 simultaneously): server.domain:/NFS_Export /backup nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp,actimeo=0,vers=3,timeo=600 0 0
    Before you installed GI, did you by chance do a yum update? I've encountered a similar issue which ended up being due to mkinitrd creating a corrupted kernel; mkinitrd is invoked during the GI installation when the ADVM drivers are added and in my case mkinitrd created a new kernel prior to the new kernel being installed. Second to that, make sure you have the matching kernel headers to your kernel version. If they are different then you could probably get away with just creating a new kernel with mkinitrd and relinking GI/RDBMS homes, but be prepared to wipe GI and reinstall.

  • Multiple content databases and Project Sites

    Hi,
    I am in the process of migrating our Project 2007 PWA + Project Workspaces data to Project 2010.  Our PWA site and the Project Workspaces are in a single content DB (2007) and I am trying to work out what I should do when I migrate it.  Our content
    DB is about 150GB which I believe is around the maximum that it should be.
    I am unsure about a couple of things.
    1. In SharePoint, you can assign multiple content DBs to a single web application, but each Site Collection will only live in a single content DB.  Given that all of the Project Sites are actually just sub-sites of a single Site Collection I cannot see
    a way to ever split them up into multiple content DBs.  Am I missing something?
    2. There is another post in this forum talking about whether to split PWA and Project Sites into different content DBs (and therefore Site Collections) with Project 2010 or not.  Even though I have read it I am still unclear as to whether or not I should
    do this and what the actual pros and cons are.
    Thanks in advance for the replies.
    Cheers,
    David

    All,
    The requester wants more than 1 Site Collection for Project Sites and he wants more than 1 content database for each site collection. Neither of which apparently SharePoint can do. However,
    for large numbers of Projects and associated Project Sites this will almost certainly be a necessity.
    The Suggestion was that the PWA site collection and Project Sites site collection could be different and hence on different databases (even web apps). Fine. But not helpful, really, since that
    only gets us to two site collections.  One very small and one that will potentially grow very large, too large.
    What appears to also have been suggested was to create a separate site collection for very large project sites.
    While this approach could work, it is administration intense and is bound to have issues related to PWA navigation, etc...and certainly not part of the Project Server 2010 PWA automatic Site
    Creation methodology.  It also is after the fact and not really scalable.  it would be possibe, but tricky to do this after the fact - moving it from one site collection to another - and then reset the URL in PWA Server Settings,
    could be done.
    I would suggest something similar, but a bit more pragmatic...Thanks Bruce!
    Create 1 new Site Collection for Project Sites (same web app) in a new content DB - use script.
    Setup PWA to provision all new Project Sites to that new site collection.  Maintains automatic site provisioning.
    Monitor
    the size of the DB, when it reaches a reasonable limit (? 50GB ?) - repeat this process, create another site collection in a new DB - but
    change the PWA provisioning settings to have all new sites go to the new (next) site collection.  Existing sites will still be found (keep the site collections in the same web app for continuity) and can have content added (I guess up
    to a point - monitor).  Repeat as needed.
    Another way I can conceive of is to create a fixed set of a small number of site collections (in the same web app) and manage the Project Site creation manually selecting which
    project site goes against which site collection. Division along some logical boundary such as Departments makes sense. But other divisions may be used. This could scale by simply adding more site collections at each department (HR-2), should any given department's
    DB grow too big. Then all the logically related Project Sites will hang off the site collection selected and be part of that database for that site collection for that "department" let's say.
    just a variation of the above solution.  Monitoring the DB size is key in both cases.
    There may of course be caveats to any approach other than OOTB and all in 1 site collection, around navigation, web parts, solution starters, etc...some of which are addressed elsewhere. Of
    course, this is admin intensive but retains automatic provisioning for new sites. I believe it would work and meet the requirements for smaller DB's and multiple Site collections for PWA Project Sites and scale to thousands of project sites.
    Thanks,
    Eric S.

  • Are Adobe promoting the alternatives to Database and Server Behaviours

    The apparently disastrous depreciation of Database and Server Behaviours in Dreaweaver CC seem to have left a nasty taste in the mouth for many users. I am not a very experienced web developer, to the point where I cringe when describing myself as such, and I assume, possibly naively, that if Adobe have made them optional now, that there is an alternative; if not, the decision seems dimwitted in the extreme, and I did not expect that to be the case with a company who's software I have admired and found useful for so long.
    So, assuming there is an alternative method to create dynamic data driven websites in Dreamweaver, can people please suggest what they are, and possibly point me towards the Adobe support and tutorials that encourage and explain their use. It must be in Adobe's interest to to get Dreamweaver's users to adopt the new technologies, and, at the moment, I cannot believe there is no adequate alternative.
    I have seen many complaints about the depreciation of the support, but no one seems to be saying "don't use those, this is what you need to do the job". If anyone can do that for me, it would be greatly appreciated, and I imagine others would also benefit.
    And if the alternatives are inadequate, then perhaps we could discuss how to get Adobe to repair a broken product.

    Rob Hecker2 wrote:
    As the web has evolved it makes sense that websites are no longer created by one person using one tool (DreamWeaver).
    I agree with you there, depending at what level you are. A large design company will have specialists in all areas whilst a small one man set up will not. These small one-man band businesses usually attract low paying clients who will not have a budget to employ 'specialists' which is where DW server behaviours fitted in perfectly. Although it's benefited me enormously by learning how to manually connect and query databases I still think it was and is pretty lazy on the part of Adobe NOT to update the behaviours which were an important part of the program for many.  3rd party developers have produced extensions at a considerable cost, over and above what it costs to run DW. They quickly rolled out these extensions when it became clear Adobe had decided to upset many of its customers by not including any alternative in CC/CC 2014 - so don't tell me it would have taken many hours development and financial resources which Adobe just could not afford. That's bollocks. This is purely a decision by some wanker at top level in Adobe that is probably smoking crack and don't know their *** from their elbow, or what their customers really want.
    Rob Hecker2 wrote:
    It always seemed to me that by adding support for PHP/MySQL at all, Adobe was just going to frustrate people.
    NO, the frustration is that Adobe introduce components and then doesn't develop them any further preferring to introduce a bag of dog poo into their programs like fluid grids instead of concentrating on what they do best.

    PHP programmers do not use Dreamweaver for PHP Development. I recall a questionnaire on a website where the question was "What tools do you use for PHP development?" Dreamweaver was not even on the list of choices.
    Serious php developers don't  - you're right - but for those who don't program php/mysql on a daily or even weekly basis, but occasionally have the need for it, they do. Most websites can benefit from having a backend database these days and at a time when databases are main stream Adobe decide to ditch what was a premium attraction of the software, completely senseless decision. A few years ago when static sites were main stream Macromedia were ahead of the game an introduced the Server Behaviours. I guess the top brass in charge at the time (Macromedia) weren't smoking crack all day and instead listening to what their customers wanted.

  • Cannot perform a clean install of CF 10 - ODBC Agent and ODBC Server are not in Services - Win2k8 R2

    I've tried to perform a clean install on a Win2k8 R2 x64 server several times and I can't seem to get it to install.
    I was upgrading from CF 9, which took several attempts. I eventually got CF 10 working and running with the latest updates. But the server would only run for about 15 minutes and everything would come to a screaching hault. ColdFusion pages would fail to load with no error. The pages would hang and wait for the server to respond, which it never did. Restarting IIS would fix the problem.
    I have about 20 CF sites on the machine. I came accross an article that talked about pool sizes, etc. I ended up trying a few things with the Web Server Configuration Tool, and as I was adding/deleting servers, I got an error that some application unexpectedly quit, but it wasn't the wsconfig tool. This happened about 3 times as I was deleting servers that I had previously added. Then I tried loading the CF Admin and I got a 500.0 internal server error.
    So I bit the bullet and figured I would start all over again. I uninstalled CF 10... now there's nothing on the machine. Re-installed CF 10, and I get the same 500.0 Internal Server Error. I uninstalled, restarted, installed... same thing. Then I found an error in the event viewer that reads:
    The description for Event ID 0 from source ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
    If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
    The following information was included with the event:
    ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server error: 0
    StartServiceCtrlDispatcher Error!
    Then I found out that neither the ColdFusion 10 ODBC Agent or the ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server have been installed... at least they're not showing up in the list of services. msconfig also shows that they don't exist at all. I tried reinstalling several times and I can't get them to show up.
    PS: It's 6:15 AM and I've been working on this since 10 PM last night. I NEED HELP! Thanks!

    Hello,
    Once you move your application from any prior version of ColdFusion to ColdFusion 10, you will have to tune your application, as the architecture changed from JRun to Tomcat.
    You can refer to the article http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/tuning-coldfusion-10-iis-connector-configuration for parameters, that needs to be tuned appropriately to make CF connector works flawlessly.
    Hope this helps

  • If RH Server's database goes down, does RH Server go down also?

    Hi experts. I've a couple RH Server questions:
    Supposing RH Server's database fails, or at least it's connection to the database fails. What would be the consequences. That is, would RH Server crash and not serve up anything. Or, would it simply be that reports are no longer accessible, etc.
    Has anyone used RH Server (installed on a Win 7 system) connected to a SQL Server Express instance (installed on another Win 7 system to spread CPU load).
    My IT Manager is very leery of the free database option (for performance/reliability reasons), but there's no way we're going to spend almost 20K$ on SQL Server or Oracle DB. So, I'd like to allay his concerns about the SQL Service Express option.
    Thanks in advance.
    -Kurt

    Rh Server *is* a database-driven application and as such it requires a database be up and working for both serving content as well as reporting.
    Your IT person raises good points. I have used the "SQL Express" version without issues. As your IT person already knows, there are certain Microsoft connection and size limitations on its use. Otherwise it would be better than Access and assuming it fits the other DB/OS combination requirements I noted in the links above.
    Unless something has changed, the open-source Apache Tomcat Server itself does not support "Load Balancing" and so I don't think you can "spread the CPU load". Although I am not that network savvy, so a call to Adobe support (asking to be escalated for Rh Server-specific assistance) to verify this would be a good idea. That said, I know organizations that have set up "fault tolerance" configurations to their satisfaction (but can't be more specific than that.)

  • Oracle 9I Database, and Mobile Server install history

    Dear Oracle technical representative:
    This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
    I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
    The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
    Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

    TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
    Installation problems are highlighted in red.
    Installation sequence/history:
         1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
         2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
              Computer name YGGDRASILL
              Host name = YGGDRASILL
              Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
              Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
         3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
         4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
         5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
         6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.          
         7. Installed MDAC 2.6
         8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
         9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
    According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
         10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
              Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
              Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
              Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
              Port = 2030
              SID = FIA
              SYSTEM Password = phwphw
              SYS Password = phwphw
              SCOTT Password = phwphw
              DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
              tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
              a. CD 1 of 3 load
                   1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
              b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
              c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
                   HTTP Server URLs
                        http://7778
                        https://4443
         12. Evaluation of install success begins.
              a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
              When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?          
              b. All other services start correctly.
              c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
                   FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
                   (DESCRIPTION =
                   (ADDRESS_LIST =
                   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill)(PORT = 1521))
                   (CONNECT_DATA =
                   (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                   (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
              I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
              d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
                   FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
                   (DESCRIPTION =
                   (ADDRESS_LIST =
                   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
                   (CONNECT_DATA =
                   (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                   (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
         13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
         14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
         15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
    At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
    It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
         16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
              a. File locations Screen
                   Name: = OraLite501               
                   Path: = D:\OraLite501
              b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
              c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
                   Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
                   Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                        It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
                   Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
              d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
              e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
              f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
              g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
                   Database System password:
                        Password = phwphw
              h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
                   Schema Name: fiafield
                   Password : fiafield
              i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
         j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
         k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
              1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
              2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
              3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
              4. OracleServiceFIA is started
              5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
              6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
              7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
         l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
              http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
         When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
         m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
         n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.

    Hello friends,
    My finding it finally is....there wasn't any configuration issue as I mentioned above.
    I'm using an evaluation edition of SQL Server 2008 R2; it just allows default instance (MSSQLSERVER) to be used, not a named instance. 
    The confirming test for this was...I re-installed SQL Server with all the same settings except changing from a named instance to default; once I finished applying service pack 3. I could initiate WSUS 3.0 SP2 x64 setup and point it to use this SQL server.
    WSUS setup completed without any errors. This was not happening when named instance was all configured properly. It was just not accessible from outside.
    Well this is what my finding is. For lab environment of CM2012 it suffices the need.
    Regards,
    Shahzad.

  • Unable to delete a SharePoint 2010 My Sites content Database and IIS Web Site even after changing timeout

    Hi,
    I am currently having issues with deleting a content database for mysites which has web application http://<servername>:11100. The database was migrated from sharepoint 2010, but on creating web app it timed out (was corrupt due to this).  Problem
    is I cannot delete now as I get "Request Timed Out". Even when I try just deleting the Web App or the Content Database individually. I have already updated the timeout on the Central Admin App Pool to 300. This used to work, but no joy now. Seems
    like ever since I added this My Sites Web App I am getting this problem.
    The setup is 1 Database Server (64GB), 1 Admin Server (24GB) and 3 WFE Servers (12GB each) - all VMS. System is also running PowerPivot. Central Admin is running on a WFE server. Is this setup OK for just one user? Reason I have 3 WFE is this already existed
    and App Servers will be scaled out when we start testing. Running 11 Web Applications.
    Help appreciated - any ideas?
    Thanks.
    John.
    OH - I tried to delete with powershell and it tells me it requires SHarePoint Administration Service to be running, but the problem is it is already running on the WFE with Central Admin on.

    Hi John,
    The timeout may cause this issue. But would you let me know the error message when we delete the database?
    However, you can delete the web application(my site host) and click delete database and IIS web site option.
    Also, you can try to clean cache and check if issue persists:
    Please stop SharePoint Timer Service.
    Please navigate to the cache.ini file location:                  
    Delete all the .xml file and only leave cache.ini in the file location.                  
    Edit the Cache.ini file and set it to 1.                 
     Save the Cache.ini file
      Start SharePoint Timer Service. The cache file will be created autumnally.
    Any questions, please let me know.
    Best Regards,
    Dats Luo

  • Move Exchange Server 2010 SP1 databases and log files to another partition

    My company has been running Exchange Server 2010 SP1 on virtual machine for almost three years. My colleague created this virtual machine (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) before Exchange Server installation with following partitions:
    C partition - for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 OS (size 40 GB)
    E partition - for Exchange Server 2010 SP1 databases and logs (size 410 GB)
    Those two partitions are on the same virtual hard disk "next to one another" so I can not extend C partition which gets filled up with IIS logs (when C partition free space is under 10 GB I am backing up these logs with backup software and afterwards
    deleting them thus freeing up space on C partition). I have 2 databases (along with Public Folders) and size of these databases and their logs is around 235 GB.
    Is it safe to move these databases and their logs to another partition which I would create on separate virtual hard disk for this purpose only and how much time this process might take since during this process databases
    would be dismounted and inaccessible to all users? He made big blunder in my opinion but I have to solve this.

    Yes, its safe to move the DB/Logs. You can follow the procedure mentioned in this article to do it via EMC or Shell... http://exchangeserverpro.com/move-exchange-2010-database-folder/
    But it depends on various factors on how long it is going take, like size of the database/logs, server performance, storage performance etc...
    Besides this, upgrade Exchange 2010 SP1 to SP3, SP1/SP2 aren't supported anymore! http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2014/04/09/end-of-exchange-2010-sp2-support.aspx
