Peoplesoft Change assistant File server options

Hi All,
I am pretty new to change assistant, I am configuring Change assistant and it seems my configuration are in correct. CA is able to find app/web,database not able to find my File server.
I am using Peopletools version -8.52.12, Detailed steps given below,
Tools, Options, Environment Management
Clikc -(View) Opens -Environment Management hub summary for the environments.
Its shows
Database Name- DBXYAB
File Server- No
Database Server- Yes
Application Server- Yes
Web server- Yes
Is there a way to find, what the issue will be and trouble shooting tips, if any.

Given your stated configuration, it should identify the machine running CA as the file server. Worst case, you just have to manually copy files into the file server from the zip file. This is only necessary for your own development purposes. The app and process scheduler servers will use the versions deployed to ps_app_home/ps_home.

Can any folks provide a link to download PeopleSoft Change Assistant template for upgrade PeopleTools 8.49 to 8.50 ?
Thanks.

Small office file server options

Hi all,
I'm having a nightmare getting decent answers from the web and businesses about this, so thought I'd try the forum..
Here is our situation,
We are a small business with 2 mac mini's, 2 macbook laptops and another macbook pro laptop who is remote. (the remote laptop is not a deal breaker)
We are beginning to have a nightmare with file storage, everyone is saving their own work to their own workstation and it's becoming difficult to share files etc.
Basically, our requirements for a solution are:
- Sensible file server, allowing all on-site computers to use the server as a main file storage
- Something I can back all computers up with from time machine
- Useful to restrict certain users to certain files
- Useful to have external access to files when off site and via the likes of iPad etc.
I've looked in a NAS Raid drive and the OsX Lion Server and also the Time capsule and am just so confused at what to buy.
Although the calendar sharing options etc. on the server would be useful, we can also do this via icloud. It's mainly the file access that is such a problem.
I wonder whether a time capsule would be good enough as a file server - which we then back up to the cloud to secure the data.
I really need a definitive answers here as buying a server is a significant investment.
Please help!
Thanks

Time Capsule could be enough for your small business at the moment. But don't you want to look into the future a bit as well? Time Capsule is for sale with 2 and 3TB hard disks which will be really enough right now but upgrading the disk won't be easy (or won't work at all) .
A Mac Mini Server + Thunderbold external hard disk is much more expensive but you're more secure in the future. Diskspace is easily upgraded if nessersary and you're also having the power of OSX Lion Server on your Mac Mini Server.
I want to leave it here and will be awaiting your reply. How much do you want to spend?

After change the file access option 'No Access', I cannot start up my iMac. Only blue screen!

Hi experts,
I really need help.
I have several user accounts in my iMac G5.
Some reason - I don't know why I did - I went into the 'get info' of the Mac hard drive, and change the permission to the hard drive from 'Read and Write' 'to 'No Access' for the one of the user accounts.
After that, I switched the user as the one I just changed 'No Access'. But I couldn't do any action in that user space, like opening finder, starting any program.
So I re-started the computer and since then, I only see the blue screen (no arrow no nothing.).
I tried booting with Safe Mode, but still only show blue screen.
I tried booting with single user mode, still blue screen.
I can start up with the disk but couldn't restore the HD since there is no time point at all that I can go back.
What should I do? Please help me~

I tried booting with single user mode, still blue screen.
Changing permissions an a user account should not cause single user mode to fail. You changed permissions on something else. Could you provide more info on the folder you changed?
Some reason - I don't know why I did - I went into the 'get info' of the Mac hard drive, and change the permission to the hard drive from 'Read and Write' 'to 'No Access' for the one of the user accounts.
This is a little confusing. We need to know what folder you changed.
You might try Disk Utility repair permissions. Here is how to get into Disk Utility from the startup disk.
You can also get into the Terminal. Notice terminal is on the pull down. Check permissions on the root directory
mac $ ls -ld /
drwxrwxr-t   51 root admin    1K Dec 31 1969 /
mac $
verify & repair your startup drive
To verify & repair you file system on the startup drive, you will need to run disk utility from you installation DVD.
This article will tell you how to get to disk utility. Once in a disk utility, you can go and attempt to recover the disk.

How to run disk utility from your startup DVD.
Insert your startup DVD into your reader. Power down your machine. Hold down to the c key. Power on your machine. This will bootup your startup DVD.
This will bring you to a panel asking you for your language. Pick your language.
You you come to the Install Mac OS panel. Do not install.
Click on Utilities menu item. This will give you a pulldown list of utilities.
Click on the disk utility.
You are now in disk utility. Pick your disk. Click on repair it should be on the lower right of the panel.
Once the repair completes successfully, you should update your permissions.
Verify a disk
As an alternative, you can verify that the filesystem on the disk is correct. You will not be able to repair the file system.
I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Start up disk utility. On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.
Click on your startup disk.
Click on the First Aid Tab.
Click on verify.
Hopefully your disk will verify. If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk Utility from there to attempt to repair your file-system.

ADVICE REQ: File Server Options for Small Workgroup

Some friends of mine work at my local Newspaper. They have about 8 Macs with 4-5 of them doing Indesign and Photoshop work on files stored on a server. Right now they currently have an 800 MHz G4 with an external Firewire hard drived shared via the free SharePoints software. Performance is acceptable to them but today the firewire drive decided not to mount so they were hooped. I got it back up and running for them but they are wondering if they should be considering a new server.
Can anyone make any recommendations? Basically, they store ALL of their working files on the server volume - Indesign Documents, Digital Photos, ad layouts, everything. They do not use the server for anything else other than common storage. As I said, speed is not really as much of an issue as reliability.
For what they're doing, I'm guessing they don't need an Xserve or Mac Pro and probably don't even need to run OS X Server since they're getting by just find with the client version and the freeware SharePoints software. But, I would appreciate your advice.
Thanks,
Larry Jorgenson

Kevin,
They are running Retrospect backing up the Firewire Drive to another Firewire drive every night. On Monday, they swap the backup drive out with another and take it offsite. In case of a fire, they would lose maximum one week of data. In case of a hardware failure, they would lose less than 24 hours. For them, I think this is a pretty good strategy. I already had to restore their data from a backup about 1 year ago so I know they appreciate the need to have a functional backup system.
Thanks,
Larry

Extreme as File Server vs. Mac Mini G4

Hello all,
I have an iMac 24" 2008 and a Macbook White 2010 which I use for work both at home and away. I have all my work files and databases on an external hard disk plugged into the Airport Extreme as a file server. I can also access this when away from home using Macbook and MobileMe. I also have an Airport Express to extend the network at home. Currently reaching 8.4MB speeds on a 10mb connection over wireless.
Recently the iMac has been taking it's time to connect to the HD to such an extent that I get frustrated and pull the HD from the Airport and plug it direct into the iMac just so I can work. The Macbook doesn't seem to have a problem connecting to it.
I also have an old Mac Mini G4 which I tried to use as a file server before but found it slow also.
Given the choice, what would you opt for? Mac Mini again as server or Airport Extreme with HD? The HD I use is a portable Maxtor 160Gb but I also have a Lacie Starck 1tb that I currently have plugged into the iMac as a Time Machine.
I just want a simple file server option with fast access!!!

RAID is not backup. Software RAID and hardware RAID are the same thing operation wise. The only difference is that you need your Mac Mini to do the managing and controlling of the RAID array as opposed to the dedicated RAID controller with the hardware option. With 2 drives on your server, you usually have 2 RAID choices -- Stripe (Raid 0) or Mirror (Raid 1). If you set up your Mini with software RAID 1, then what this does is whenever your first drive is being written with data, the second drive is mirrored with the same data. In the event of a boot drive failure, you can still boot from your second drive. You can achieve the same thing somewhat with Carbon Copy Cloner, but it is not as seamless as RAID 1. Raid 0 stripe mode essentially doubles your hard drive throughput, but because the Sandy Bridge Intel Core i series chip is a powerful and efficient CPU, there won't be a huge latency lag associated with previous software RAID setup.
Dual Core vs Quad Core is really dependent on software used. If you use Handbrake a lot which takes advantage of the multi-core of the Quad Core, then Quad will be faster than Dual Core. However, some Mac software are not multi-core aware. In this case, a fast Dual Core with Turbo Boost engaged will be FASTER than a Quad of a slower clock speed in single process type application, but the newer Core i5 can run up to 4 threads, simulating somewhat 4 virtual cores, so really it is application and usage dependent.
I recently purchased a Mac Mini Core i5 2.3Ghz to deal with more HD video work and upgraded it to take a second SSD drive. It is way cheaper than the Apple BTO option, plus I get to choose which fast SSD drive I want in. With a SSD drive installed, the Mini just flies. The Mini did not dissappoint me with iMovie 11 and editing plus finalizing. For the cost to performance and power usage aspect, the Mini with Core i5/i7 option is a viable path.

On A Budget - Options for Using a File Server.

Hi - I have this relatively old 2008R2 file server (8GB memory and 25TB disk) I'd like to use as file storage for a SQL Server VM. The network is a 1GB switched configuration. The VM resides on relatively new hardware (Server 2012, SAS) but doesn't
have a lot of disk. I'd like to make a bunch of the file server space available for SQL Server Data (2008R2) - its a small network (10 users) that we want to load a bunch of glob data indexed by a few keywords as reference. Kind of like a
GIS database. My first thought is to create fixed vhdx file on the file server via Hyper-V manager, but this takes days to initialize for the size I'm thinking of (10TB). I created an expanding disk and it was pretty quick to create. I copied
a 4GB file over the net to the mounted (from the Hyper-V Host) vhdx file and it went pretty fast. I thought about using the iSCSI trick to attach it to the SQL VM (turning the file server into a SAN sort of?), but I'm wondering if this is overkill.
I'm just looking for a few suggestions. There is a lot of stuff out there, some of it conflicting, about storage configuration.
Thanks

Yes, upgrading....
I need to emphasize the budget thing. I will look into the iSCSI option. The VM is Server 2012.
We might be able to convert the 2008 server to Windows 8. It doesn't really do anything besides file shares and security is not a concern as we are not connected. Is that an option? Win8 supports SMB 3 I understand.
Yes you can do that. But... Older desktop versions of Windows were limited on amount of TCP connections they could handle obviously affecting usability and performance as a server. Not sure what's accurate for Windows 8 as MSFT has been changing this policy
back and forth all the time )) Check within MSFT licensing specialists before you do that.
P.S. I'd spawn FreeBSD or openSUSE with a Samba instead of a desktop version of Windows OS being used as a file server. IMHO.

How do we change the Login userID to login to a file server

Hi guys,
i've been trying to find a way to change the login name when i am connected to a file server. see attached screenshoot.
In this case, i am logged in as "bssuser". do you guys know where i can change the username and password for this?
Thx

Thanks, Kmancer, but no option for "iCloud", only Defaults, Recents, or Camera. I have latest Mac Air and latest OSX 10.8.5 so options may be different.

Changed laptops, now iTunes can't find my music on my file server

Ok, here's what happened when I recently switched laptops
- I use iTunes to point to the music I store on my file server via a network share (WinXP)
- I manually manage my iTunes folders
- I took the \My Documents\My Music\iTunes directory from my old laptop and copied it to the same location to my new laptop
- Installed iTunes 9 on the new laptop
- When iTunes9 loaded on the new laptop ALMOST all music files in my library loaded with an exclamation point indicating that it couldn't locate the file (even though the file locations never changed)
Ok... so here's the problem. I have over 20,000 songs with ratings information and if I just re-add all the files from the network share to the iTunes library again then it looks like I'd lose those ratings.
The only way that I can see to fix things is to individually point iTunes to the network share location of the file for each file... YUCK!
Is there a script or something I can write to tell it to find these files, or at least copy the ID3 tags to the duplicated songs that I re-added from the network share.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Something is different in the paths to the files....hence itunes cannot find them.
Sound like you know about the ITL file, which is why you copied it over.
What you can do is look in its companion XML file to see the paths itunes thinks it should be using.
If your XML is really big, open it using WordPad instead of NotePad. About the 10th line down is the itunes preference setting for the itunes folder:
key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/K:/iTunes%20Music/</string>
On my system it's K:/iTunes Music
The %20 just indicates a space.
Then each song will have its own path
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/K:/iTunes%20Music/Cowboy%20Junkies/The%20Trinity%20Session/07%2 0200%20More%20Miles.mp3</string>
Now....can you see ANYTHING funny in one of those song paths?Is there an extra space, a different user name, anything different than what you could browse to in Windows Explorer?

Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Illustrator's font is different for some reason and hard to read, I need to change it so i can read all the tabs and file names. Like file, edit, options, type, select, effects..... swatches, layers.. every tab is in a different font that is hard to read

Illustrator's tabs are all in a different font that I can read.
I need to know how to change it so I can get back to a steady workflow.
For example..
File, edit, options, type, select, effects, view, windows, help..... pathfinder, layers, swatches, stroke, and the file name (all the tabs)
are all in a different font, I don't know how it got changed but now it is different.
This is a shared computer so someone might have changes it on accident but I'm not sure.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Feature request - option to turn off confirmation of changing a file extension

Dear Microsoft, please can you add an option to Explorer to disable the very annoying prompt that asks if you want to change a file's extension? For example, change test.txt to test.dat. You are asked to confirm the extension change. Change test.dat back to test.txt, you are asked to confirm the extension change.
Please let us turn this off!
Thank you...

I'd like to add a "me three". It's a minor inconvenience - until you've had to click "okay" for the nth time, after changing a .txt to a .bat, or whatever it might be that I'm doing at the time. It's none of the operating system's business what I choose
to call my files.

Changing server options

How can I changer server options on my i5? It appears to be different than previous models. There are no Advanced settings.

How does ATT like you to configure the SMTP (outgoing mail) server? In particular, what is the port that is used?
When I first upgraded to Mountain Lion, one of my email account's outgoing (SMTP) server stopped working. I played around for a while and finally I found that setting the port manually instead of using "default" got things working again. As far as I can remember this happened (for this particular account) on all devices in my household. Of which there are many.
I used one of the default port numbers, 587, I just didn't use the default button. Sort of like black magic, I know. Especially since other accounts I have use the default port just fine.
This may not help you at all. But it won't hurt to try. You get there via Mail, Preferences, Accounts, Outgoing Mail Server, Edit SMTP server list, Advanced.

How can I change the file download time using Adobe Send? Adobe SendNow had a lot more options.

There isn't a feature in Adobe Send for setting and end-date for a file's availability. At any time, you can Unshare the file, however.
