Possible FileVault2 issue?

I have just setup another Mac with FileVault2 and hit what might be bug but before I report this officially to Apple I wanted to see if anyone else has seen something similar.
The Mac in question is running Mavericks 10.9.4 and is bound to an Open Directory system and the user account is configured and created as a portable-home-directory type account but without admin level privileges. I logged in as that user and turned on FileVault2. This worked and triggered an automated reboot to begin the encryption process. I then logged in again as that (non-admin) user and re-opened the FileVault settings as I then wanted to enable an additional user to be able to login via the initial FileVault2 login screen, this additional user is an admin level user. However this attempt failed returning an error saying that admin level user could not be added to FileVault2.
After trying this several times, with multiple reboots, and things like first logging in as the enabled (non-admin) user, logging out and then being able to login as the admin level user but still not being able to enable the admin user, and also decrypting and trying the same sequence from scratch, I have discovered that I had to at least temporarily make the initial (non-admin) user an admin user and was then able to enable successfully the other user account. I could then return the initial user to non-admin level.
It therefore seems that you have to use an enabled admin level user to enable other users, even though you can otherwise unlock the setting (padlock) with the second account. I would therefore classify this as a bug. Anyone else seen something like this?

John,
I just today turned on FileVault2 on my late 2013 MBP with 10.9.4 bound to OD. The computer basically has two users, one is the local admin and the second is a networked user with PHD and no admin privileges.
In my set up, I had to use admin privileges to even access the FileVault settings (locked). So my approach wasn't exactly the same as your as I used the local admin to encrypt the drive and I did not add the regular user to the allowed list. While everything seemed to set up ok, I wanted to ensure file syncing of the PHD still worked. Looking at that, I discovered the syncing seems to have stopped yesterday (I may have goofed during a test of something else), which was before I activated FileVault. So, I decided to turn FileVault off in order to focus on fixing the PHD synchronization. I was able to turn FileVault off from the non admin user's account but I had to enter the admin's credentials.
I'm not sure that helps, but I perhaps it gives you a data point. Personally, I cannot think of a situation where I'd want a regular user to be able to change the FileVault settings.

V3.6.3 Crash Today - Possible Plugin Issue?

Re: v3.6.3 Crash Today - Possible Plugin Issue?
Ref: (a) Crash ID bp-cb196f96-dd38-44d7-bffb-778a22100531.
(b) https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
This user really does not know whether a plugin is involved here, but also, cannot rule that out. And exploring the Plugin Check page with its limited information, has found the following significant issue un-addressed, and thus, mysterious to him.
Please, consider adding to the Plugin Check page, ref. (b), an explanation on this question>> What must one do, i.e., perform what steps, to update a plugin? I.e, is it infallibly sufficient to download & to run the download? Is updating a fully automated process for all plugins?, or even for some plugins? E.g., does updating an Adobe plugin ever require uninstalling the old plugin first (as does updating the Adobe Reader program, and Acrobat, etc.)? How shall the general user of Firefox know precisely what he/she should perform in this regard, when it is well known that the Adobe updates sites generally fail to recognize and advise the user on the question of whether to uninstall first. We see it in forums, that many of us general users have encountered install failures with Adobe updates, and (1) have found that Adobe updates usually do not work well if installed over the old version, and (2) have found that uninstalling Adobe apps often does not go smoothly and fails to complete the job, leaving vulnerable exe's or dll's hanging around to frustrate our subsequent updating. And, Adobe is not the only offender in this way. A frank and helpful mention of this issue would save much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and if uninstallation is a good idea, please explain how to Uninstall a Plugin, because plugins generally lack an Uninstall button in the Add-ons window of Firefox. And, this begs the question, is it desirable to Disable a plugin, before running the updating installation file? Or is there "no benefit" if Disabled first? Please try to write up these aspects plainly. Ideally, from this user's perspective, placement of this ought to be a few sentences directly on the Plugin Check page. Your consideration and adoption of this suggestion is respectfully requested, and it will be much appreciated.

''You can disable plugins here: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
See also Troubleshooting plugins
Plugins provide a way to use other program to embed content. so you have to go to the program that adds a plugin and check the options (preferences) to disable the plugin.''
Anyone knowledgeable, please comment.
Thanx for suggesting the Disable button, cor-el, but my question addressed Uninstall of Plug-ins. This was due to the now-recognized problem which afflicts Adobe update patches, that the patch doesn't go well unless the old version is Uninstalled first; thus requiring a clean installation of the fully updated application.
It is my understanding that the Disable button does not necessarily uninstall the old files. When I was unaware of this consistently occurring property of Adobe's patches, I had more than one case of Adobe Reader and Acrobat failing to update completely, causing hours of fruitless troubleshooting, and this continued with the most recent patches to Adobe Reader, the one updating it to v9.3.2, as well as earlier ones. Therefore, it seems not unreasonable to expect that the Shockwave Flash plugin that is now flagged as vulnerable again (v10.0.45.2), needs to be Uninstalled before updating.
Is there no dependable method for Uninstalling plugins?
If not, then one wonders, why not? Is there a reason why Mozilla designs Plugins to be different from Extensions in this regard?

Possible Cascade Issue on 11.1.1.3?

I searched all forums for possible Cascade issues on the add-in and am not finding out anything. We're also up-to date with on the Essbase patches (server and client).
The issue arises when trying to cascade, a spreadsheet is generated but is empty. Likewise, if I select 'One Workbook, Separate sheets', the same thing happens.
We're on office 2007.
many thanks,

Hi Siva,
I think that these are questions that you should ask on the Infrastructure space since the guys there have way much more knowledge on installations. Additionally, I would suggest to discuss these questions with a consultant who is going to have broader understanding of your requirements.
Regarding question number 1, generally speaking version 11.1.2.3 is considered to be an improved and more stable version of 11.2.2.2.
Regarding question number 3, you need to provide more details like number of users per tool, number of concurrent users, volume of data per tool, requirements for High Availability or Disaster recovery etc…

Thanos

"Possible precedence issue with control flow operator"

Hi guys
I have following Problem:
Yesterday I made a distribution update from debian wheezy to debian jessie.
Since then I got a problem with a plugin which I'm using for Icinga a monitoring system.
When I run it, I got the error that there is an "Undefined subroutine".
I read on google that I can fix it, with reinstalling the vsphere SDK, but the installation stuck at "CPAN is downloading and installing pre-requisite Perl module "SOAP::Lite"".
I can skip this step with Ctrl+C and at the end it says "This installer has successfully installed...".
But when I run the Plugin I get the error message "Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/share/perl/5.20/VMware/VICommon.pm line 2147." and the whole plugin stucks.
I tried the following step which I found in this forum and the error message doesn't appear, but the plugin still stucks...
Re: VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.5.0-1384587 broken with perl 5.20
I have also Perl 5.20.2...
Can you guys help me?
Vinzenz

Ok I could fix it...
I changed the line 2147 to
return (defined $user_agent->cookie_jar and
$user_agent->cookie_jar->as_string ne '');
And this time I waited for a long time and I get a error message that there is a problem with SOAP.
The solution was to downgrade Net-HTTP and libwww-perl with following commands:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
o conf urllist push http://backpan.perl.org
install GAAS/Net-HTTP-6.03.tar.gz
install GAAS/libwww-perl-6.03-tar.gz
The second Command loads older releases to the urllist.
Thx for your help and I hope I could help others with the same problem.

Possible DNS issue with AirPort Express basestation?

Hi all -
Up until recently my Airport Express has been working great. This past weekend I started noticing that website browsing became slow, and some websites would not come up at all (e.g. popular sites like wordpress.org).
Otherwise my internet connection works fine (email works, browsing for the most part is normal for all computers on the network, pc and mac).
I read that this could be a possible DNS issue. I unplugged the AE basestation and plugged my Powerbook directly into my cable modem and was able to get to all websites that I couldn't get to while using the AE. That, and browsing was a heck of a lot faster (it seemed).
Can anyone help me out and point me to a specific setting on the AE that I can toggle, correct, whatever, to solve this (possible) DNS issue?
Thanks!
Jeff

Dear Henry, Thanks for your reply, and we are sorry for having intruded upon the wrong thread with our troubles. Perhaps you could point us to the most pertinent thread. Further pushing credulity Might you assist us further?... We have checked every floor in the building and no new equip has been added, though I can't speculate on the 'hood at large. We added a Time Capsule to the mix hoping that might bring back some stability and speed, but results aren't very promising so far. perhaps you might point us to a resource for professional help, or web sites that may help us define and implement something beyond the ad hoc system we have currently. We have read through the Apple docs regarding Designing Networks, and though informative they don't necessarily explain the nuances / consequences of different configurations, for instance, that WDS will adversely affect net speed. Thanks in advance for your input (should you wish to assist). If you are so inclined I can provide the snap shot of our list of hardware. And again apologies if we are in the wrong place.

[stow] perl problem: Possible precedence issue

Hi there,
It came with the last perl update that I am no longer able to run stow.
I already reinstalled the package but it still fails with the following error:
Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Stow.pm line 1736.
Does someone know how to fix this issue?
Thank you!

It looks like it's just a warning that doesn't actually affect how it runs. Anyway, I know almost nothing about Perl, but this patch silences the warning:

Reporting Services Point - possibly permissions issue

I'm having a really hard time configuring a working reporting services point in my test SCCM 2012 R2 environment and was hoping someone might be able to help me work out what's gone wrong.
My servers are WS2008 R2. SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed on the primary site server and holds the site database. I installed SSRS onto a separate site server and added it as a reporting services point. This worked, and I see the list of
reports in the SCCM admin console. However, when I try to run a report - either from the console or via web browser - I get this message:
The default value expression for the report parameter 'usertokensids' contains an error. There are no logon servers available to service the logon request. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)
   at Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ServerReportSoapProxy.OnSoapException(SoapException e)
   at Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.Internal.Soap.ReportingServices2005.Execution.RSExecutionConnection.ProxyMethodInvocation.Execute[TReturn](RSExecutionConnection connection, ProxyMethod`1 initialMethod, ProxyMethod`1 retryMethod)

   at Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ServerReport.SetParameters(IEnumerable`1 parameters)
   at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.SrsReporting.ReportViewerWindowsForms.SetParameterValues_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
SMSAdminUI.log shows this message:
[25, PID:3096][06/12/2014 11:24:05] :[fqdnofprimaryserver] : The request failed with HTTP status 503: Server Error.
Now, the reason I think this is a permissions issue is because srsrp.log on the Reporting Point server shows this:
(!) Error retrieving folders - [Login failed for user 'domain\reportingservercomputername$'.].
(I've removed the actual name here, obviously.)
I'm really puzzled about what's going on here, what is trying to authenticate with the SSRS server's machine credentials, and what for. Looking in SQL Server Management Studio on the primary site server which hosts the SQL database, I can see that
the account has a login listed and it has its default schema listed as DBO. On the SSRS server, in Reporting Services Configuration Manager, the Report Server Service Account is set to a dedicated domain user account. The Current Report Server
Database Credential is set to my own Windows login using Current User - Integrated Security - I can't seem to get it to accept the dedicated user account.
Can anyone help me figure out what's gone wrong and how I fix it, please? I'm by no means a SQL person, and I'm at my wit's end with this!
Thanks,
M

The plot thickens.
The SSRS server has these:
"The report server has detected a possible denial of service attack. The report server is dropping requests for service from the IP address 192.168.113.163" (this is the IP address of the primary site system, which hosts the SQL database)
and then
"Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database"
The primary site system, meanwhile, has got thousands of these:
"Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\SSRSSERVERNAME$'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: 192.168.113.164]" (that's the IP of the SSRS server)
The Windows firewall is off for both systems. They're on an isolated test network. I still don't understand where the setting is that tells it to make SQL queries using the SSRS server's machine account, rather than the dedicated service account
I created.
Any more ideas? Thanks for your help so far - I really appreciate it!

Possible permissions issue - i used migration assistant from a backup and now i have multiple issues

Hi everyone,
I'd say my techie skills are low to medium so bare that in mind and be gentle with me
So 20" dual core died on Friday. poss psu issue which i will fix in due course. In a fit of extravagance I decided this message from beyond the grave from MR JObs was telling me to buy a new quad core on Saturday morning.
Because old imac was dead i used time machine back up via "migration assistant"
intially it could see the back ups but then seemed to spring to life after 20 mins
Got message saying not all content had transferred but reckon most did except for some safari stuff ( paswords etc).
Then i started to get issues with permissions i think.... asked me for passwords every time i tried to move files between folders or to trash or do pretty much anything.
read something about permissions conflicts when migrating from another admin/home account from and old imac
That when i started to activate my over "confident with technolgy" gene - i set HD permission to owned by "me" instead of system and then applied to all enclosed items
oops
now getting lots of dodgy messages eg every driver on the make brings up eeor message sayuing it was incorrectly installed
ran permissions repair - 25 mins later loads of unexpected acls have been corrected though not all -
still getting error messages about a few which i tracked down manually one by one and, sure enough, are still showing as owned by "me" and not system. Corrected them
Noticed at this point all other .kext files in same loaction have two permissions rows for "system in "get info" window = is this the root of my problem since using migration assitant?
still having issues
software updates won't install via the "software update" function but was able to install a couple of them myself direct from apple website.
back ups won;t back up to drive assigned - just keeps saying T|ime machine could not complete the back up even though there is space on freshly formatted external drive
so guys ..
have just created an unholy mess?
should i reassign "system" as owner for everything and then change foders such as documents and music etc to be owned by "me" or is that tooo simplistic?
should i wait till my old mac is brought back to life and re-do my migration ( since deleted the existing back up from old imac so thats not an option)
should i blame it all on apple and get them to sort it out under warrenty
or should i run naked down the street shouting wibble...
all help gratefully received . MY experience of apple products has been seamless over the years until now and I can't help think I have done some thing bad the wife will never forgive me for
HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may not have created a mess, it's possible you simply don't know where your data is after migrating. Had you followed the Setup Assistant's on-screen prompts when you initially turned on your new system you would be running just fine by now. My guess is you haven't been exposed to Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips.
Migration Assistant (MA) and Setup Assistant (SA) are cousins, similar but different. The primary difference is MA creates a new user account which can be confusing to some users. If you successfuly migrated then log out of your existing using account and you should see the new user account. Log into that account then you should see the migrated data. If you do then use Pondini's Transferring files from one User Account to another.
However if you have totally made of mess out of things then I'd start over, this time using the Setup Assistant Tips beginning where he discusses Second Chance.

Possible network issues preventing successful application data transfer?

Hello all.
We are having a few issues with a specific set up here at work involving Oracle 11, and Oracle 9 databases and I was hoping someone with a fair idea of how Oracle configurations work when it comes to network connectivity and data transfer would mind sharing their opinion on the matter.
First off, a bit of background. I'm a network security engineer by trade and my experience when it comes to the application side of things, specifically databases is inherently weak; so I apologise if my terminology or logic is slightly off here.
Basically what I'm trying to determine is where a fault lies between our users using a terminal server and a remote Oracle SQL database that should service their requests.
The problem lies wherein the user will utilise the 'sqlplus' application invoked from a Windows command prompt window, and expect to be able login and query a database. I believe we have two versions available to use, version 9 which is not actually in production but able to be used for testing and version 11 which is active in production.
When accessing Oracle 11 servers will hang where we expect to see a successful connection followed by a healthy looking "SQL>" prompt data transfer appears to stall as follows:
C:\>sqlplus username/[email protected]
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Sep 22 18:12:17 2010
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
*hangs here*If we try on the Oracle 9 setup things look fine initially:
C:\>sqlplus username/[email protected]
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Sep 22 18:19:20 2010
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - ProductionHowever once connected to the Oracle 9 box; if we run a query similar to:
sqlplus username/[email protected]
select * from <database> where rownum < 10;This will again hang.
That said however, if we try and run a query similar to:
sqlplus username/[email protected]
select * from <database> where rownum < 5;This will return 4 rows of usable data, without issue.
Our systems engineer provided me with a SQLNET trace from the server side and believes he's identified where it occurs:

# HANG OCCURS HERE
# Need to <CTRL C> twice to kill
#I've tried searching the net for similar occurrences of some of the interesting looking trace data but there appears to be limited information available, none of which is terribly helpful.
What I'm really after is either someone who has had this issue before, or someone who can better interpret the error output from the trace files and perhaps give me an idea of what's causing it to occur. Specifically whether that error text above relates to a failed connection on the underlying network connectivity side of things or whether it may be something on a higher level within the application layers. We have done packet dumps on firewalls to check the traffic as it traverses the firewall but there are no anomalies that I can see which may be contributing to the issue at hand.
I have organised for some testing to occur within the next 24 hours as there is a Cisco ASA Firewall that sits in the network path that is performing inspection on packets travelling through it. The inspection for SQLNET specifically is disabled, but we intend to enable this once more for testing to see whether it makes a difference. I'm not entirely confident it will however, and until we do get a chance to test any constructive input or alternate ideas will be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to cover as many bases as possible here.
Cheers,
Josh.

So some further testing doesn't show anything interesting. But that said here's a look at a TCP Dump for the Oracle 11 session that hangs:

I can get the Oracle 9 queries to hang if I select over 7 rows (8 being the point at which it dies).
So I can run
Sqlplus user/[email protected]
Select * from <blah> where rownum < 7;Over and over again, as many times as I like without issue.
But!.. As soon as I run
Sqlplus user/[email protected]
Select * from <blah> where rownum < 8;The session will hang, and from a network perspective there are no packets being transferred in either direction. It looks exactly like the Oracle 11 session in that the session is still ESTABLISHED from a client perspective but no data is flowing in either direction..
Does anyone have any idea why '8' is the magic number that would be causing it to hang? I'm really stuggling to see from a network perspective how this may be occuring, as above the TCPDump looks clean.
Unfortunately I don't have access do a dump on the client/server itself however, just on the network path. I guess that may be where we need to be looking next.
Thanks for the ideas so far all, much appreciated.

Possible GPU Issues With Camera Raw 6.6

Over the past day on my Windows 7 x64 workstation I've done some updates. Specifically:
The Adobe updater brought in Camera Raw 6.6, replacing 6.5.
I updated the to the ATI Catalyst 11.12 display driver version from previous version 11.11.
I allowed Windows Update to apply the dozen or so changes that were pending.
I was just doing some OpenGL testing with Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 x64 and I noticed that under some conditions I saw Photoshop drop out of OpenGL acceleration. Specifically, when I opened a Canon 5D Mark II image through Camera Raw I saw subsequent operations stop using OpenGL acceleration even though the checkmark remained in the [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing box in Edit - Preferences - Performance.
What I did to determine whether OpenGL acceleration was enabled was this: Select the Zoom Tool, then click and hold the left mouse button on the image. When OpenGL is enabled, I see a smooth increase in zoom. When it goes disabled, I see only a jump in zoom level after letting up the mouse button. Also, the [ ] Scrubby Zoom box gets grayed out. As I mentioned, even in this condition, a check of Edit - Preferences - Performance still shows OpenGL enabled.
Just as a control, I saved the converted file as a PSD, and every time I opened THAT file (with a fresh copy of PS CS5 running) and did the same operations I could not reproduce the failure. The difference being I did not run Camera Raw.
Since I wasn't specifically looking for issues with Camera Raw, I am not sure that the problem occurred every time I did run Camera Raw. I do know that when I open images from my own camera (40D; I do not own a 5D Mark II) that the problem doesn't seem to occur. Notably I always open my image from Camera Raw to the largest possible pixel size - 6144 x 4096, as I did with the 5D Mark II image, so it's not an obvious size difference that's leading to the issue. Given other comments of late, I'm wondering if it could be a specific issue with conversions of files from 5D Mark II.
Nor am I sure whether any of the above updates caused it - it might done this before; I don't regularly convert 5D Mark II images. I DO think I would have noticed Photoshop reverting to GDI operation before, since I just noticed it pretty easily, but I'm not completely sure of that either. I do use OpenGL-specific features (such as right-click brush sizing) pretty often.
I'm trying now to find a set of steps with which to reliably reproduce the problem now, and will advise.
-Noel

Figures. Now I can't reproduce the problem at all, even after an hour of testing. It probably had nothing to do with Camera Raw.
I wonder if there are latent GPU status indicators and config values stored by Photoshop based on its specific environment that might not be right for the first run (or first few runs) after a display driver update. Hm....

Running Total Issue or Possibly Formula Issue in Crystal Reports 9

Post Author: Jeffs23
CA Forum: Formula
My issue involves two formula's - @TotalTime and @Converted Time and a Running Total (RTotal0).
@TotalTime{Data.ApptTime}/60@Converted Timenumbervar x := {#RTotal0};totext(truncate(x),0,"")" Hrs "totext(remainder(x,truncate(x))*60,0,"") + " Mins"Running Total (RTotal0)
Field to Summarize - @TotalTime
Type of Summary - sum
Under Evaluate Section:
"Use a Formula":
onfirstrecord or
{Data.ResourceStart} <> previous({Data.ResourceStart}) or
{Data.Resource} <> previous({Data.Resource})
) and
minimum({Data.ApptKind},{Data.ResourceStart}) = 1 AND
maximum({Data.Column},{Data.ResourceStart}) >= '1'
Reset on change of field {Data.Resource}
A little background:My report deals with a Doctors schedule. In the doctors schedule, a appointment is booked and is by default placed into Column 1. It always defaults to Column 1. If the provider elects to double book their time and schedule another patient at the exact same time, the second appointment hits column 2. It expands in essence. It is possible to have up to 4 appointments in one time slot. This is why we wait forever at the Doctors office - appointments get overbooked because patients cancel or no show frequently and the provider would rather have the patients wait then risk no appointment at all. My Client wants the "TOTAL TIME" a provider was "scheduled" to see patients, not the time they actually saw the patients. So if the Provider was scheduled to see patients from 8 am to noon and had patients doublebooked for every time slot, I only want to report the overall time he saw patients regardless of the doublebooking, triplebooking or quadruplebooking. So the total time for my example should be 4 hours not 8 hours. The good news is this is painfully close to being correct! What is currently happening, is if the schedule contains more than 1 facility the time calculates wrong. I think my issue may be in the running Total but not 100% sure. I need it to calculate time on each facility - {Data.Facility}.

I had some minor issues with my formulas and Running Total so I modified them alittle:
@TotalTime
If {Data.ApptTime} = 0 then 0else {Data.ApptTime}
@Converted Time
If {#RTotal0} = 0 then "--"else ToText(Truncate({#RTotal0}/60),0,"") + " Hour(s), " + ToText(Remainder({#RTotal0},60),0,"") + " Min(s)"
My running total stayed the same.......

Some fake sample data:
Resource = Francis, William MD
Facility 1: River Oaks Main Clinic
Facility 2: Western Medical Hospital
Date of Service = 10/25/2007
From 7:15 am to 11:45 am, Patients were treated at Facility 1: River Oaks Main Clinic *** (total time = 4 hours 30 min)
From 12:15 pm to 1:00 pm, Patients were treated at Facility 2: Western Medical Hospital *** (total time = 45 min)
From 1:00 pm to 3:15 pm, Patients were treated at Facility 1: River Oaks Main Clinic *** (total time = 2 Hours 15 min)
The report should tell me Total time at River Oaks Main Clinic = 6 Hours 45 min and 45 min for Western Medical Hospital. What it currently is doing, is reporting the 6 Hours 45 min on the River Oaks Main Clinic and 7 Hours 30 min on the Western Medical Hospital. The time for this facility should be 45 minutes, yet its taking the full provider time and throwing it into this second facility. I am assuming its because the Running total tells it "Reset on change of field {Data.Resource}". Somehow, I need it to evaluate on both the Resource and the Facility. Any suggestions?

Possible JGROUP Issue - Looking for recoomendations

Customer analyzed a heap dump taken on custom application...this heap dump was taken just before they ran into memory issues on this instance.
Please provide recommendations....
Observations:
1.     Total heap size is about 1.6GB.
2.     Out of this, 620MB is occupied by 35 instances of org.jgroups.stack.NakReceiverWindow … the number 35 looks to correspond to the number of application instances. Looks like JGroups is creating this object for each instance is it communicating with.
3.     Almost all of the space within a NakReceiverWindow object is occupied by delivered_msgs, which is a TreeMap object. There are 20K to 50K delivered messages within each NakReceiverWindow.
Analysis:
1.     It would make sense if JGroups was the cause of OOM errors because these errors started to happen more frequently after customer added more app instances. More instances mean more intercommunication between nodes, more NakReceiverWindow objects …
2.     This happens sporadically
Any ideas ?

Hi 818689,
I would be quite interested to review this Heap Dump but you did most of the analysis work already.
The question to ask with these types of issues is whats the trigger(s)?
You seem to have identify it: vertical scaling. Adding more instances within a cluster means each of the cluster node objects must be replicated across the other cluster members. However, as overall platform traffic/load remain unchanged, the impact on the Java Heap footprint should be minimal (client session overall remain unchanged). Still, depending on how your application is leveraging the JGroup caching service, a static Java heap footprint increase is to be expected post vertical scaling exercise.
ex: if your application is using a static caching object with footprint of 20MB, then replication across all your 35 cluster nodes means in-memory footprint requirement for full redudancy is 35x20 = 700MB.
What type of object is replicated across your cluster?
This is why I normally recommend to my clients to be careful with vertical scaling and to avoid cluster replication (Http Session, EJB objects etc.) with more than 20 nodes, again this is case by case depending of the application behaviour and footprint. You may also want to analyse the other Java Heap contributor but the recent vertical scaling appear to be the trigger, root cause being JGroup object replication across all 35 node members.
Recommendations:
- Analyse the other 1gig of Java Heap for any other major contributor
- Try to take few Heap Dump snapshots (depending of ur JDK version) and see if JGroup object is growing (leak) over time or fairly static
- If footprint cannot be reduced, then you may have to consider increasing your Java Heap (proper caution as this will add overhead to GC process) to give you enough buffer; assuming you are not facing any Java Heap memory leak
- Look at JGroup tuning and possiblity persisting the replication node objects on the disk. This would reduce your Java heap footprint but at performance cost of loading/unmarshalling the object from disk to memory
- Another approach would be to breakdown your cluster in half down to maximum of 15-20 replication nodes. This approach would still provide you with full redundancy and keep your Java Heap at a reasonable size

ODBC-datasource generating ORA-12154 (possible listener issue)

Hi,
I am trying to configure ao ODBC-datasoure from a client (using instant client 11.2) to a 11.2g Oracle DB server. The database listener is configured to use a non standard port 1700 in this case.
There is a firewall between the client and the server which is configured to allow connections to the database server on the specified port, when I use telnet from the client to the server, the connection opens on this port, but when I try to test the odbc-datasource I have configured ig et the error ORA-12154.
The link below outlines the details of the error:
http://ora-12154.ora-code.com/
To the context should be added, that there is no problem to use SQL Plus from a computer behind the firewall to connect to the database server using the TNS name that is being used in the ODBC-datasource.
I have tried to configure the odbc-datasource using both a tns_names.ora file, and also directly in the odbc-datasource using //[ip address] : [port]/TNS_NAME. Both ways of configuring the odbc-datasource generates the same error. I am currently suspecting that the error might be due to some sort of connection redirection on the part of the tns listener on the database server which triggers the firewall to terminate the connection. Could this be the case?
Does anyone have any suggestions what this error might be caused by. Any suggestions on how to continue my troubleshooting would also be valueble. Further, what kind of configuration would need to be inplace, on the tns-listener / database server side to make this sort of configuration to work.
Finally, I should also ask that I have tested the same ODBC-datasource configuration in a test system without any firewall inbetween, and that configuration works fine, so there seems to be no problem with the client software configuration per se.
Any help is apprichated.

I managed to solve this issue myself.
Since there seems to be some problem locating the server I added "HOSTNAME" to the following line in the SQLNET.ORA file on the server:
names.directory_path = (HOSTNAME,TNSNAMES)
This solved the issue by using the following syntax in the ODBC Configuration:
TNS Service Name: [ip-address]:[port]/[TNS NAME]
Where the TNS_NAME should be that of the TNS_NAME for the database defined in the TNSNAMES_ORA at the server. Note that this value is case sensetivetnsnames.ora is ONLY used by the client side application. It is the tns complement to the local 'hosts' file. It is used by the CLIENT to resolve an alias (tns net service name) to a host (ultimately an ip), port, and service name. Your assertion that the tns_name should be ... hmm, now that I read that again, are you saying that the tnsnames entry on the client should match the one in the tnsnames file on the server? If so, yes and no. There is no technical requirement that they match. It is simply that it is usually assumed that the one on the server is correct and may be used as a model for what to do on the client. The server - acting as a server - doesn't even use the tnsnames.ora file. It exists on the server only to support any client process that may happen to be running on the same box as the db.
Maybe this will help you understand the connections
=================================
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
This error means one thing, and one thing only. The client could not find the specified entry in the tnsnames.ora file being used.
As a follow-on to that statement, remember that when you use a dblink, the database in which the link is defined is acting as a client to the database that is the target of the link. So in this case, the tnsnames.ora file on the host of your source should have an entry for your target db, as defined in the db_link.
And for the umpteenth time ... this error has NOTHING to do with the status of a listener. The connection request never got far enough to reach a listener. If anyone tells you to check a listener in response to ora-12154, they are not paying attention, or do not understand how TNS works. This error is the equivalent of not being able to place a telephone call because you don't know the number of the party you want to reach. You wouldn't debug that situation by going to the other guy's house and testing his telephone, or by going to the phone company and testing the switchboard. And you don't debug a ORA-12154 by checking the listener. If I had a top ten list of "Incredibly Simple Concepts (tm)" that should be burned into the brain of everyone who claims to be an Oracle DBA, it would include "ORA-12154 Has Nothing To Do With The Listener".
=================================
A couple of important points.
First, the listener is a server side only process. It's entire purpose in life is to receive requests for connections to databases and set up those connections. Once the connection is established, the listener is out of the picture. It creates the connection. It doesn't sustain the connection. One listener, with the default name of LISTENER, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners or to name the listener as if it belongs to a particular database. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.
Additional notes on the listener: One listener is capable of listening on multiple ports. But please notice that it is the listener using these ports, not the database instance. You can't bind a specific listener port to a specific db instance. Similarly, one listener is capable of listnening on multiple IP addresses (in the case of a server with multiple NICs) But just like the port, you can't bind a specific ip address to a specific db instance.
Second, the tnsnames.ora file is a client side issue. It's purpose is for address resolution - the tns equivalent of the 'hosts' file further down the network stack. The only reason it exists on a host machine is because that machine can also run client processes.
Assume you have the following in your tnsnames.ora:
larry =
(DESCRIPTION =
 (ADDRESS_LIST =
 (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
 (CONNECT_DATA =
 (SERVICE_NAME = curley)
)Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@larrytns will look in your tnsnames.ora for an entry called 'larry'. Finding it, tns sends a request through the normal network stack to (PORT = 1521) on (HOST = myhost) using (PROTOCOL = TCP), asking for a connection to (SERVICE_NAME = curley).
Where is (HOST = myhost) on the network? When the request gets passed from tns to the next layer in the network stack, the name 'myhost' will get resolved to an IP address, either via a local 'hosts' file, via DNS, or possibly other less used mechanisms. You can also hard-code the ip address (HOST = 123.456.789.101) in the tnsnames.ora.
Next, the standard networking process delivers the message to port 1521 on myhost. Hopefully, there is a listener on myhost configured to listen on port 1521, and that listener knows about SERVICE_NAME = curley. If so, the listener will spawn a server process to act as the intermediary between your client and the database instance. Communication to the server process will be on a randomly selected available port. At that point the listener is out of the process and continues to user port 1521 to await other connection requests.
What can go wrong?
First, there may not be an entry for 'larry' in your tnsnames. In that case you get "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" No need to go looking for a problem on the host, with the listener, etc. If you can't place a telephone call because you don't know the number (can't find your telephone directory (tnsnames.ora) or can't find the party you are looking for listed in it (no entry for larry)) you don't look for problems at the telephone switchboard.
Maybe the entry for larry was found, but myhost couldn't be resolved to an IP address (say there was no entry for myhost in the local hosts file). This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe there was an entry for myserver in the local hosts file, but it specified a bad IP address. This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe the IP was good, but there is no listener running: "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, but it is listening on a different port. "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, it is listening on the specified port, but doesn't know about SERVICE_NAME = curley. "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"
Third: If the client is on the same machine as the db instance, it is possible to connect without referencing tnsnames and without going through the listener.
Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
$> sqlplus scott/tigertns will attempt to establish an IPC connection to the db instance. How does it know the name of the instance? It uses the current value of the enviornment variable ORACLE_SID. So...
$> export ORACLE_SID=fred
$> sqlplus scott/tigerIt will attempt to connect to the instance known as "fred". If there is no such instance, it will, of course, fail. Also, if there is no value set for ORACLE_SID, the connect will fail.
check executing instances to get the SID

ERROR:
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specifiedOk, that is how we get from the client connection request to the listener. What about the listener's part of all this?
The listener is very simple. It's job is to listen for connection requests and make the connection (server process) between the client and the database instance. Once that connection is made, the listener is out of the picture. If you were to kill the listener, all existing connections would continue. The listener is configured with the listener.ora file, but if that file doesn't exist, the listener is quite capable of starting up with all default values. One common mistake with the listner configuration is to specify "HOST=localhost" or "HOST=127.0.01". This is a NONROUTABLE ip address. LOCALHOST and ip address 127.0.0.1 always mean "this machine on which I am sitting". So, all computers are known as "localhost" or "127.0.0.1". If you specify this address, the listener will only be capable of receiving requests from the machine on which it is running. If you specified that address in your tnsnames file - on a remote client machine - the request would be routed to the machine on which the requesting client resides. Probably not what you want.

Qosmio F20 - Display problem, possible driver issue

Good afternoon,
I am in posession of a Qosmio F20 type notebook, which belongs to a friend. She told me that the screen went all matrix like then was just blank. She claims not to have installed any software or updates recently.
When it is turned on, the Qosmio logo on a black background appears, then a black screen with lots of white lines vertically down it appears. It then brings up the Windows XP logo, but this time with green lines appearing vertically down the screen, a bit matrix style I guess! After this the screen goes completely blank, and the laptop will either reboot itself, or occasionaly I can hear it boot into windows.
I can enter into safe mode and view everything fine. If I uninstall the driver, it works fine and boots in as normal, then prompts me for a display driver. As soon as I install the driver which I have downloaded from the Toshiba website (NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600), and reboot, the same problem occurs. If I install the driver then choose not to reboot, it is ok. But as soon as I go into display settings and try and change anything, the screen goes instantly blank again.
I tried rolling back to an older driver which was dated 29/08/2005 v7.8.9.2, but still the same problem.
Can anyone suggest a possible solution for this? Or is there an issue with this driver that I am not aware of? The OS is Windows XP Media Center SP2. It has been working fine until yesterday morning apparently.
Many thanks

Hi
Hmm... really bad situation. As far as I know the warranty cannot be exchanged after an hardware problem.
The motherboard replacement is not cheap! You will have to spend a lot of money to get the motherboard replaced.
As you know, the board is a most expensive notebook part!
Anyway, I presume only the authorized service provider would be able to replace the board and to help you.
Contact the guys in your country adn explain the situation:
