Problem in starting OIM after moving it to isolated n/w and configuring AD

We have moved the machine where OIM was installed to an isolated n/w and then configured Active Directory on it.
But now we are unable to start OIM on it.
We are getting an error, Network adapter could not establish the connection.
Since the IP address of the machine has changed to 10.66.184.170, we have made the required changes in OIM_HOME\xellerate\config\xlconfig.xml file of OIM.
And JBOSS_HOME\server\default\deploy\xell-ds.xml file of JBoss.
Any pointers to the issue would be helpful.

Have you done any changes in Weblogic Admin Console ?
Login into Weblogic Console and see what it shows for "Undo All Changes" and "Activate Changes" button.
If "Activate Changes" in enabled then click on that and try to restart.

Problem in starting services after rebooting the sap server.

Hi ,
I got a problem in starting SAP services files in SAP BI system on windows 2003 server. Whenever I reboot the system all sap services failed to start throw a message u201CCould not start SAPBDJ_00 service on local computer. Error 1069: The service did not start due to login failure".
This is the common message for every sap service SAP<SID>_00,SAPOSCOLL,SAPCMSr.01,SAPSMD_98. Until unless I maintain ./SAPservice<SID> password externally by going through service.msc and g to properties of particular service and g to logon option to maintain password manually to fix this.
./SAPService<SID> user is no locked and password maintained properly also I tried to change the service user to SIDADM user and restarted the server however getting the same problem.
Could not find any fixes in internet so please help me to fix this issue.
Regards,
Vinod

Hi Sunil,
we are in midde of BI implementation. last week we built the DEv box and Updated kernel and suport packs and restarted then i observerved this issue. I have already tried to change the SIDADm user but intially after changing the user service will start and once you restart the server then the issues appear again.
The password which i am using was the one set during the installation.
Please suggest.

Vinod

Problem while starting OIM 11g

hi
Could u please help me with the problem that I have with starting up my macbook pro?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

AFTER MOVING, I NO LONGER HAVE SOUND AND IT NO LONGER RECOGNISES USB DEVICES

After moving, my usb devices are no longer registering and mac pro believes it has no speakers. I have installed all updates, switched on and off and checked system preferences for sound. Any suggestions?

yeah-a few. repair permissions, do a SMU reset, click on the sound on the top of your screen while holding down the option key. that should bring up a list of all sound inputs and outputs . Also, mess around with Audio MIDI (it's there somewhere). Something might have gotten messed up or set incorrectly.
this is just a start, though....
definitely not an expert

How do you restore your playlists on iTunes after moving data to external hard drive and the playlists are deleted?

after moving everything to an external hard drive, is there a way to restore the playlists you've already created if they're not there anymore?

If you moved the iTunes folder to your external drive, you moved the iTunes library file - iTunes Library.itl, which is in that folder.
You need to tell iTunes where it is, start iTunes with the shift key held down and iTunes should ask you to choose a library.

Problems with starting Windows after Boot Camp was installed on a Win-PC

Hi,
i have a very interesting problem for the MacComunity (haha -.-). The problem is: after I have installed Boot Camp from my Snow Leopard DVD on my Windows PC (not my iMac); I can not start the system. In the Boot Camp System where i can set the system to start with, there was only the Boot Camp System available (not Vista). However, the system installs some Vista-Updates and some Updates from Apple Software Update (iTunes 9.2, Quicktime 7, Safari 5, Airport 5, Boot Camp 3.1) on my PC.
Everything was all right but after I have restarted the System nothing happend. the System freezed when the boot-Screen (Intel Logo) appears. The Systemkeyboard was not detected. It only detects a n external apple Keyboard. There are some reactions when I press the keys, but the Monitory is frozen, anyway. What can I do?

Sounds like a lesson in there: don't wait to put OS X on an external drive that is usually off line.
Rush to a store or on-line and get a UPS of the 1500VA sort (APC RS would be nice, or SMART UPS 1000VA).
The directory of the drives could be corrupt.
I have all my equipment, modem, routers, the works, but we had a bad storm and one port on the router/modem is out (the one I used, the modem seems to be okay) and I am worried that the UPS's line filter for DSL in is also 'compromised.'
Storms and power outages can wRECK or cuase havoc.
It sounds like you need to map out bad sectors maybe (zero all in Disk Utility) perhaps. The directory, volume blocks, or even journal file, got scrambled. However, because no test can find it means - to me - it could be the "non user partitions" rather than OS X partition etc. Hence, zero the drive or just reformat it in full.
Why have you not ever with these outages, just continued to live w/o one? I wouldn't just shutdown, I would unplug if a storm approaches.
PS: SMC Reset button is under drive bay #4. Give it a 5-10 seconds depress.

Problem with starting database after aborting backup

Hello,
I have following problem. I tried to do my first backup with EM. I switch my database to ARCHIVELOG mode then set location for archive redo logs to recovery flash area. Then EM asked me to make a backup. I accidentally clicked button refresh. After that I had to click "ok" few times and when I wanted to start database again I had a problem.
EM shows "Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance" and Agent Connection to Instance issues ORA-12528. I tried LSNRCTL>stop and LSNRCTL>start but it didn't resolve my problem.
In SQL Plus I can open the database but I can't mount it.
Any ideas???
I'm using Oracle 11.1.0.6.0.
Best,
Simon

In SQL Plus I can open the database but I can't mount it.This statement makes NO sense.
In order for the DB to be OPEN, first it needs to be able to MOUNT it,
using sqlplus along with CUT & PASTE show us what you do & how Oracle responds.

Problems With Starting Up After Power Failure

Hi Everyone,
I'm having the strangest problem booting up (or rather, not being able to boot up) after a power outage in my neighborhood last night. What's more, it's the second night in a row that it's happened and has blocked my ability to boot into my two main drives. I installed OSX on a separate internal drive so that I can access them and they seem to be all right and have all the information on them which is good.
Here's what happened: Two nights ago my computer was on and we had a power outage which turned my computer off, of course. I don't have it set to restart after something like this so I tried to restart it in the morning. The blue progress bar makes it about a quarter of the way across and stops. I have the same OS on another drive so I started up with the Option key and chose that and everything was fine. However, the next night the exact same thing happened and I couldn't boot into that drive the following morning either so I had to install a fresh version of OSX on another drive just to get into my computer. I've used Drive Utility, Drive Warrior, Drive Genius and TechTool Deluxe to check the drives and they all say there's nothing wrong. I've tried to reset the PRAM but still can't boot up into those drives which were on when we had the outage. I have unplugged everything and nothing else in the house seems to be effected. Any suggestions? I've had many power outages over the years with my Mac on but never have I ever experienced something like this, and on both drives too! As always, any help will be greatly appreciated and needless to say, I'm turning my computer off tonight before I go to bed!

Problems with focus traversal after moving to j2sdk_1.4.1_02

Hi,
Just moved to j2sdk_1.4.1_02 and we are having problems where
focus stays on wrong UI component e.g. a user(user2) is taking edit/write permissions from another user(user1) that has write permissions. User1 is told that they will lose write permissions in
the next 15 minutes ( information dialog displayed on their screen ) while at the same time on user2's window a text label is updated
every 5 seconds to say how long before they will have write permissions,
however, the information dialog displayed on user1 hangs and
the user can't remove this dialog. Control seems to stay with user2.
This used to work with the previous java version we used.
Hope someone can help,
Thanks

Didn't say what version you came FROM, but I'm guessing if
you're having focus related problems it was from PRIOR to 1.4
when focus handling was revamped.
You probably need to make sure you are using requestFocusInWindow()
everywhere instead of requestFocus().
Check here and possibly search for 1.4 and KeyboardFocusManager
for new focus handling tutorials.

Problem with missing files after moving folders around

Hi,
I keep my music files manually organized. This is mostly because I have a LOT of music and I don't want to take up all the space on my MBP HD. So my music is split up between 2 external drives and the MBP drive.
I was moving around some folders since I wanted to reorganize my music folders, and iTunes can't seem to find the files anymore, and in order to fix it I see I need to find each and every file I moved (which is really not practical).
I tried editing the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file, but it seems to get rebuilt from some other place where this information is stored.
I also tried putting aliases in the old folders' locations pointing to the new ones (iTunes kept saying the files are missing)
Is there any way to simplify the process of moving folders?? This is really strange that such a feature is missing.
Thanks
Yaron

If you have the 'keep' option enabled and let iTunes do the work - take a sound track album as an example - that has various artists and you didn't tell iTunes that the album was a compilation album - then iTunes will put all the tunes into into the iTunes Music folder as Artist>Album>Song - if you have the compilation option enabled for the tunes on that same album - iTunes will nest it as iTunes Music>Compilation>Album>Song. This helps reduce the clutter in the iTunes Music folder with a thousand artists and only one tune for that artist.
With the 'keep' option selected iTunes will move tunes automatically within the iTunes Music folder. Since iTunes moved the files it can keep track of the links.
To create a second library launch iTunes with the 'option' key down and follow the dialog box instructions. I have a 'Master iTunes Library' on my internal HD and several ext HD's with other libraries which I give unique names i.e.: Really Big Music. I give the library data base file its' own unique name so I don't accidentally erase the wrong file. I also keep all the files that you would normally see for an iTunes library on the ext HD (iTunes library. .xml, art work etc.,). If you are into lots of movies and TV Shows you could create a library on and ext HD with only video content and name it accordingly. You would keep all the files for that library including the library 'management' files on the ext HD in the same nesting as you would find on your internal HD.
This strategy works for me. I tried to manage the files by myself at one point and just had to many problems so I decided to not fight City Hall and go with the flow and it works for me.

Problems with design view after moving to new imac

Moved CS4 Dreamweaver from my Mac Mini intel duo to a new i5 Imac last night: suddenly design view is not showing various CSS styles, especially certain links.
For example, instead of this:
HOME | ABOUT | CONTACT | HELP
it will show this in design view:
|||
Meanwhile, in a browser live on the web, everything is fine.
I did a fresh install of dreamweaver CS4 last night from original install disks to new i5 Imac.
Help!

Culprit is the classic MS Windows font ARIEL. I installed it one at a time from two different sources (a 1999 TT build and a 2001 TT build) and both immediately caused problems, particularly in Dreamweaver with vanishing text in design view for any fonts setting sassigned the "ariel, helvetica sans serif family").
Since problem only is happening on the 2011 i5 Imac (but not on my old Mac Mini 1.6 or emac G4) I will guess the dilemma resides with fontbook or something peculiar to font management on the iMac.
Removing font of course solved all problems.

Problem to start iMac after 10.4.11 update please help

Hi Everyone
My iMac suddenly unprovoked not working after I downloaded the latest OS X 10.4.11 update from apple.com.
After downloaded successfully, I double clicked the file to update, but nothing happened, the computer seemed not respond anything, so I logged out, but still not responding. I waited for almost 30 minutes I force switched off iMac by holding down the switch button.
Then I tried to switch it back on that normally iMac would run fine, but it stuck again remained as the starting screen, a white background with an Apple logo in the middle and a circle spinning displays loading, but wait forever and nothing happens.
How can I start my Mac as I am a new user of Macs? Is there another way?
Thanks.

Hi
Just in case you are in the same situation & haven't already wiped your files then read this:
I was pointed in this direction (see link below) when the same thing happened to me & I have managed to retreive all of my data using another mac that has OS X & a firewire cable.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1246278&tstart=0
Here is some more info as well here from me to try to help to explain things as at first I couldn't make head nor tail of what I was supposed to do:
Make sure the mac that works is switched on & that your mac that will not start up properly is switched off. Connect the 2 computers using a firewire cable & then switch the mac that will not start up properly on while holding the 't' key down.
After a while a symbol will bounce around on your mac & the mac that works ok that you are connected to should show your hard disk on it's desktop (a bit like when you plug a camera or a phone or an i-pod in). The you can retrieve what you need to save off your hard disk (by dragging it onto the computer that works) & back it up. This may take some time but at least you will have waht you need
Then AND ONLY ONCE YOUR DATA IS SAFE you can erase & re-install your system software.
To do this you should eject your hard drive from the computer you are using to rescue your data (i.e. like when you eject a cd/phone/i-pod etc.)
Then you can restart your mac (the one that has frozen) and then immediately put your mac OS X installation dvd (the one that came when you got your mac) press c while it starts and then say install. You will need to also go to options & click erase & install. This will format your computer & erase everything off it so like I said make sure your data is safe first on another computer or even better onto disk.
I hope this is as helpful as I found it when I was told the same information earlier...
