OS X Updates through Remote

Hi there.
There are about 35+ Mac's on our network.
I have Remote Desktop enabled on all of them, and have an admin account on all of them.
Is there some way to do a Remote OS X Update like once a week or month?
One so that it runs in the background so the user does not see it?
Or is there a way to do it, even without the background update?
I really just want to do this remotely, no matter how? Any suggestions?

FYI, the command Templeton mentioned is in the Miscellaneous Templates in the Send Unix Command window if you're running ARD 3.x.
Note that many updates, particularly those to Mac OS X, require that the system be restarted after the update is installed, so though the user won't see the update itself occurring, there will be some disruption. You might want to consider scheduling the update for an off time - nighttime or such - so you don't disrupt your users. The ARD administration app needs to be running for scheduled tasks to run.
Regards.

Software Update through UNIX command

Hey all,
Just a quick question regarding Software Update through Remote Desktop.
I'm running the UNIX command softwareupdate -i -a but it hang. I'm guessing it's due to our proxy, and that we have to login to the proxy server in order for the system to continue fetching the updates.
Basically, what I'm asking is if there is a way to bypass this, i.e. a command to follow the systemupdate -i -a command which will log me into the proxy?
Cheers,
Nick

Hi.
I tried the command:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://ip.address.of.server:8088/

Rep argument is not a dictionary

his home computer is not updating in office computer. what ever he creates, he is attaching them through email and come back to office and working.
can anyone please help to resolve this problem.? if you need more details I will update it.

To update my remote oracle server through e mail

Sri
you can do with some SMTP programming like that one available in VisuaBasic. you can read the mail from an inbox
from a mail account of an SMTP SERVER. Then you may try to update the remote database.
Well i have mentioned VB as i heard it long back from my GURUJI that it is possible thru SMTP programming in VB
using the socket controls etc,.
Please check it out in some visuabasic forum sites and ask some VB Gurus.

Update openquery remote table with join

Hi All,
I have a problem with OPENQUERY update on remote table. I've googled for days, and can't solve the problem.
Here is the problem:
Local server MS SQL 2005.
Remote server: MySQL.
The linked server is communicating through MySQL ODBC 5.1
I created the following code for update (tried many other version too, this is the last one):
update openquery(Remoteserver,'select products_id, products_price, products_last_modified, products_stock from products1')
set
products_price=A.products_price,
products_stock=A.products_stock,
products_last_modified=getdate()
FROM
(select * from vi_products_update) AS A INNER JOIN
openquery(octopus, 'select products_id from products1')AS B
ON A.products_id=B.products_id
When I run the query the columns are updated with the same value, for each record. It looks the value is the first which match the criteria. Each (remote and local) table has as primary key products_id. In this example I used as result set for local a view, but I have the same result if I use a table.
the products_last_modified column is updated in order, and if I update for e.g. the products_price with a constant that is ok too. The problem should be somewhere with join, but I can' get it where.
THX for any help

Hi
Did you ever solve this problem
I have the same issue trying to update many rown in a MySQL table from SQL2005 using the syntax below,

(select * from VTM_TOD_Rate) as V inner join
openquery(DEV,'select id, `desc` from todLocationGroups') as K
ON K.id = V.TOD_LG_ID
but i get this error
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "KAYOTE_DEV" returned message "Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed since it was last read.".
Msg 7343, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "KAYOTE_DEV" could not UPDATE table "[MSDASQL]". The rowset was using optimistic concurrency and the value of a column has been changed after the containing row was last fetched or resynchronized.

Updating A Remote Database Copy

I have a SqlExpress DB on my server. I have a remote copy for security/backup reasons. Because the DB file(and .bak file) is about 2 Gb, it take a while to copy the whole thing to the remote machine. I believe there is a way to use the log file to simply update my remote copy ratherr than copying whole files, but I don't know what this process is called to research it. I have Brust's book on Sql Programming, but I have not found what I am looking for in there. Can anyone tell me where I should be looking and what this process is called?
thanks,
Steve

You have several options. You can create your full backup of your target database and restore the backup to the instance of sql express. If you are restoring an instance of sql 2005 to sql express you can specify WITH STANDBY. This leaves the database in read only mode, which means it is a viable option for a reporting source. If you are running different versions than WITH STANDBY is not an option for you and you must restore WITH RECOVERY or WITH NO RECOVERY.
Code Snippet
RESTORE DATABASE databasename
FROM DISK = 'c:\path.bak'
WITH STANDBY = 'c:\standby.txt'
Now you can schedule the restoration of the log backups and/or differential backups. Since sql express does not ship with sql server agent you can either do this using the version of sql that you are restoring by using a linked server and distributed query or you can create a batch file and schedule this with Task Scheduler using sqlcmd.
Code Snippet
RESTORE LOG databasename
FROM DISK = 'c:\path.trn
WITH STANDBY = 'c:\standby.txt'
This creates a "warm" stand by for you along with a reporting solution. I utilize this method with our regular backup routine that provides the ability to remove load on our production servers by utilizing the backup as a reporting solution along with populating our data warehouse. The regularly scheduled backups sit on separate physical drives outside of the production server so the disk I/O of the restoration is is also transparent to the production environment.
The same process can be implemented using log shipping for sql editions of workgroup or greater. Log shipping provides a very similar process, but it is configured through a wizard, and in sql 2005 is actually an ssis package.
I utilize a clr function that returns the most recent t-log file and path to restore each hour. If this code interests you let me know and I will post it.

Sending the UNIX command to install updates over Remote Desktop returns No Updates Available, but they appear when I manually check in the App Store. Why?

We use profile manager to set the URL for the Software Updates on a server inhouse, and the clients see the updates when I open the app store on their iMac, but when I try to send the update command to all Macs through Remote Desktop, RD is returning that there are no updates available.
And here's a log message:
Mar 20 09:45:17 Alisas-iMac kernel[0]: BUG in process suhelperd[261]: over-released legacy external boost assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy-external)
Mar 20 09:45:17 --- last message repeated 11 times ---
Why does this happen? Do we really have to manually update each client or is there something wrong?

Update exisiting remote in MDM!!

Hi All,
Is there any way to update the exisitng remote key. I have a scenario in which I need to re-import the existing record in data manager. The record has already a remote key.I would like to change/update this remote key value, without a different value.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
So I would like to replace the dummy value of the remote key generated with the external value entered. Is there a workaround for this?
I would say here when you are syndicating records for this particular account groups it should not be syndicated with that remote system. Create a New Remote System Say (Dummy system) in Console. Set this qualifed Range for all such Particular account groups for which you want alphanumeric key. Now after syndicating records out of MDM. when you right click on record and see Edit Key Mapping.
You will find details as below:
RemoteSystem Key
Dummy system 1234
During PI, you will do message mapping where you map to target System Say ABC if it has source structure (file out of MDM through Syndicator) as ABC or Dummy system with target structure ABC. Here you will give condition if either of this Remote system (ABC or Dummy system {should be replaced with ABC}) comes then PI should map it to Target system ABC.
On the other hand, when you actually re-import this record with alphanumeric key that time select remote system as actual target system say ABC not dummy system. So after this when you will see Edit Key mapping you will have two records for this particular record.
RemoteSystem Key
Dummy system 1234
ABC 123BDF45YU (Alphanumeric) with required target system.
So either you can delete remote system (Dummy system) & remote key (1234) manually using data manager or keep it there which will not effect or independent of remote system ABC and your purpose of that existing remote system(ABC) with Alphanumeric key will be served.

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

Performing multiple updates through a grid

I'm pretty green as far as Dynpro goes so please forgive me if this is an easy one.
Basically I have a table (grid) which allows a user to view and edit pricing information.
The data is retrieved and updated through .NET web services.
The pricing values are edited through an InputField contained in one of the columns of the grid. This InputField is, in turn, bound to a property in the response from the web service in my view context.
Lets say a user edits one price, hits the down arrow on the keyboard and edits another field and then hits Enter.
Somehow, I need to identify in my "OnEnter" event handler, exactly which rows were edited so I can then pass the pertainent data to the web service for processing.
I don't think I can use the typical "getLeadSelected" and "isMultiSelected" scenario that you would for deleting a row.
I really don't want to have to create a separate view for editing individual grid lines one at a time and relegate the grid to being a simple read only selection control.
Any suggestions?
-Sheldon

Ended up solving this one today.   Wasn't too bad once I got a good handle on tranversing the Context and using the .isChangedByClient() property. (Like I said, I'm pretty new to Dynpro)
For completeness I am including my solution with this post. (sorry for the exceedingly long names)
public void onActionUpdatePricing(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionUpdatePricing(ServerEvent)
     //Find out how many records we have
    int n = wdContext.nodeRequest_EmployeeSalesServicesSoap_getAllProductPrices().nodeProductPrice_Response().nodeProductPrice_Result().size();
     // create an instance of the update web service class
     Request_EmployeeSalesServicesSoap_updatePrice reqUpdPrice = new Request_EmployeeSalesServicesSoap_updatePrice();
     wdContext.nodeRequest_EmployeeSalesServicesSoap_updatePrice().bind(reqUpdPrice);
     //temporary storage for a single element as we iterate through them
    IWDNodeElement PriceElement;
     for (int i = 0; i <= n - 1; i++)
          //Get an element
          PriceElement = wdContext.nodeRequest_EmployeeSalesServicesSoap_getAllProductPrices().nodeProductPrice_Response().nodeProductPrice_Result().getElementAt(i);
          //Check to see if it has been modified
          if (PriceElement.isChangedByClient())
               //If it has been modified then call the update function in the component controller. This
               // method will, in turn, call the web service class with the appropriate parameters
               // TO DO: error checking for update failure.
               wdThis.wdGetMainmenuController().UpdatePrice(Integer.parseInt(PriceElement.getAttributeAsText("priceID")),Float.parseFloat(PriceElement.getAttributeAsText("productSellingPrice")));
     //After we are done updating, reset the Context changed bit for all items
     wdContext.getContext().resetChangedByClient();
    //@@end

True about updates through a view

hi frds
i just need the right answer for the choices mentioned below with explanation
plz help me
What is true about updates through a view?
A. You cannot update a view with group functions.
B. When you update a view group functions are automatically computed.
C. When you update a view only the constraints on the underlying table will be in effect.
D. When you update a view the constraints on the views always override the constraints on the underlying tables.

And a very tricky only it is.
Peter, you are correct that view constraints are not enforced in the sense of PKs and FKS, but there are two other view constraints that are enforced.
SQL> CREATE TABLE t AS
2 SELECT rownum id, object_name
3 FROM all_objects
4 WHERE rownum < 11;
Table created.
SQL> CREATE VIEW t_read AS
2 SELECT * FROM t
3 WITH READ ONLY;
View created.
SQL> CREATE VIEW t_check AS
2 SELECT * FROM t
3 WHERE mod(id,2) = 0
4 WITH CHECK OPTION;
View created.
SQL> CREATE VIEW t_nocheck AS
2 SELECT * FROM t
3 WHERE MOD(id, 2) = 0;
View created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t_read VALUES (100, 'READ ONLY');
INSERT INTO t_read VALUES (100, 'READ ONLY')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01733: virtual column not allowed here
SQL> INSERT INTO t_check VALUES (100, 'EVEN ID');
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t_check VALUES (101, 'ODD ID');
INSERT INTO t_check VALUES (101, 'ODD ID')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01402: view WITH CHECK OPTION where-clause violation
SQL> INSERT INTO t_nocheck VALUES(100, 'EVEN ID');
1 row created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t_nocheck VALUES(101, 'ODD ID');
1 row created.
SQL> UPDATE t_check SET id = 201
2 WHERE id = 2;
UPDATE t_check SET id = 201
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01402: view WITH CHECK OPTION where-clause violation
SQL> UPDATE t_nocheck SET id = 201
2 WHERE id = 2;
1 row updated.The WITH READ ONLY constraint bars all changes to the view. The WITH CHECK OPTION stops any changes that would make the record invisible to the view. It is essentially a CHECK constraint on the view.

Updates for Remote Desktop via App Store Software Update

Hello, and Happy Thanksgiving. On a computer running Mavericks, I installed Apple Remote Desktop 3.5 from the disk (not from the App Store.) On it's first startup, I was greeted with the message "The Remote Desktop Administrator software must be upgraded on this computer." I downloaded and installed the 3.7 update manually from http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1565. However, I view this as a "Band-Aid", and not a fix. How would I recieve future updates for Remote Desktop from Software Update within the Mac App Store?

Hi ya.. just to let everyone know Apple UK Senior Tech support are aware of this error message that we are all getting as from today and are on the case....

Error when updating through "Role import"

Hi all
I get this error when I update through Home > Authentication > SAP > Role Import:
"An error occurred while communicating with the CMS.
The following error message was returned:
Error occurred in CSAPSecHttpRolePage::OnCommitRoles. Return value = -2147213817 (0x80041e07)j Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
Does this mean that I have duplicate users or groups? If this is the case, how come I get the error even if I remove all roles, update, and then add a role and update again? Then everything should have been cleared?
And the funny part is that the import of users seems to work, because I can log on to the InfoView using SAP authentication... But I don't like this error, and would like to get rid of it.
Best regards,
Martin Søgaard

Hi Sogaard,
when you remove all roles can you verify that all the user groups and users are being removed from the system ?
after removing the roles could you also delete the entitlement system and re-create it ?
