Problem with changing hostname

At work, I got a new Mac but seems that it was on display (turned on) at the store where it was bought from. This means that some minor low level setting are still there (even though when I started it, it showed me the welcome wizard).
The problem is that even though I changed my computer's name from the Sharing preferences pane to WorkEthaMac, Leopard still thinks that its url is something-else.my-company.com. I can still access my mac from inside the company's network using workethamac.local but whenever I go to Web Sharing in the Sharing pane, it states that the url is something-else.my-company.com and the same is returned when I do hostname in the terminal.
This means that I cannot access my mac from outside the network using workethamac.my-company.com which totally *****.
Should I create a /etc/hostname (my linux colleague's idea) or is there another way to actually change my hostname?

I have tried this several times (mostly in the morning before I boot my mac) and I get a lot of text but none of it comes close to something-else or workethamac.
The only thing that I get that's close to a hostname are 2 urls:
A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
NSTLD.VERISIGN-GRS.COM.

Having problem with change of name in the datagrid Coding

I am having problem with changing the name of the datagrid header text name for one of the data either in the flash file or the php file.
The thing is i want to change the Course_Name to Course Name that has no underscore so that it will look nicer in the datagrid but if I change it in the php file like SELECT Course_Name as 'Course Name' ....., it will not turn out in the datagrid when I CTRL ENTER the flash file but the others like Price,description and display is shown.
There is no problem with my php code but I do not know how to change the Course_Name into Course Name so please help me resolve this error that I am having.
This is my flash code
function goCourse(e : MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(5);
refreshResponder = new Responder (refreshSuccess, onFault);
connection = new NetConnection ();
connection.connect (gateway);
dataDG.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, gridItemSelected);
refreshData (true);
function gridItemSelected (e: Event): void {
ID = e.target.selectedItem.ID;
courseTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Course_Name;
priceTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Price;
descTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Description;
private function getParams () {
var param: Object = new Object ();
param.ID = ID;
param.Course_Name = courseTxt.text;
param.Price = priceTxt.text;
param.Description = descTxt.text;
return param;
private function refreshData (refresh: Boolean): void {
if (refresh)
connection.call ("Course.viewCourse", refreshResponder);
private function refreshSuccess (result: Object): void {
dataDG.dataProvider = RecordSetDP.toDataProvider (result);
dataDG.columns = ["Course_Name","Price","Description","Display"];
private function onFault (fault: Object): void {
trace (String (fault.description));
This is my php file code.
function viewCourse()
$this->connect();
$sql = "SELECT Course_Name,Price,Description,Display
FROM coursetb";
return mysql_query($sql,$this->_connection);

i don't see where you're calling your php file in your code, but change 'Course Name' to 'Course_Name' (or vice-versa) there.

Problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6

Hi there,
I am having some problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6 in windows.
1. In Bridge CS3 (Windows XP), most of the time with most of the files, there is no problem. But I found that in some files, the Label does not get changed. I usually change Label by right clicking on the picture, then Label and select any Label. When I do so in those files, nothing happens. But when I rename the file by changing or adding just a single character, then it works. And if I again rename to original name, it still works. But without renaming the Label does not change. Again this does not happen with all pictures, but occationally with some. We usually receive pictures from different clients for editing purpose.
2. In Bridge CS6 (Windows 7), if you create lot of Path using Pen tool in Photoshop for the purpose of removing background, you save the file, close, and change Label in Bridge, again open the file in Photoshop, you see no Path in the Path Pallette. So that means, changing Label works, but it removes the Path from the file. But if there is small amount of path, then no prboblem. But if there is lot of path, like you need to create for a necklace to remove background, then the problem arises.
I am using Bridge for a purpose where it is very helpful so I really need to use Bridge, and Labeling feature is the most important to me, but after feaguring out this problem, I am really tensed as to whether or not I will find a solution to this. So any help, guidance will really be appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance for any solution.
Best regards

I have re-checked the issue and I found that the problem is with JPG file.
I wasn't even aware you could save a path to a jpeg file (always use PSD because of wanting to keep the Alpha Channel, jpeg only can contain 1 layer and no alpha channels and/or transparency).
However I tried it on a file with a simple path and one with a complex path. It seems indeed you have found a bug. The simple path is no problem but the more complex path is indeed disappearing.
It is not only label but also rate or adding IPTC in the description field. The moment metadata is saved to this jpeg file and reopened the earlier present work path of a more complex path is gone.
Despite the fact that to my opinion a jpeg is not the most suitable file format for saving a work path this should not happen. If a work path is saved to a jpeg then it should be kept saved after just altering metadata in Bridge.
It still is the same behavior in Bridge CC because that is what I use. Don't know when it started but it still needs to be repaired

SSRS 2012, SQL Server 2012. Problem with changing database

Hi all!
I have a problem with changing database for SSRS.
I have a SSRS 2012 and SQL Server 2012. These programs is on WIndows Server 2012.
I need to link SSRS to the new database instance. For this I run SSRS Configeration Manager, open tab Database, click Change Database. Then I choose option "Choose an existing report server database", click Next, write the server name, test
connection (it's successed) and push Next again. Then I see this error message:
Error
The feature: "Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
OK
I'm confused, cause I have compatible versions of programs and THIS error.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

Hi Kirill,
From the error message, we can know that the issue may be caused by incorrect editions of SQL Server for report data sources are used as the Report Server Database.
When creating a report server database, please be aware that not all editions of SQL Server can be used to host the database. So we should make sure that we have used the correct database as the
Report Server Database. For more details, please refer to the “Report Server Database Server Edition Requirements” section in the following document:

Hope this helps.

I've got a problem with changing the payment information !!
when I change them and I followed the instruction , and when I click done
it says " for assistance, contact iTunes support at " the link " . and nothing
change , so what should I do ?

Hi Bart,
The description of the field VBKD-BSTKD will appear in sales order (VA01/02/03) Header Order data tab.
If you notice the text for below one it is PO Number where Number starts with upper-case N and it iis not the one which you changed.
Also this is a hyperlink to sales header order data screen.
You need to enhance the code via sales exit to fix this.

Still need help with changing hostname on Solaris 10

Hello.
I have some difficulties with changing host name of my computer.
It is DHCP Client.
AS I understand there are the following steps that I have to do:
1. Edit the /etc/default/dhcpagent file and change the line that reads the following:
#REQUEST_HOSTNAME=no
to
REQUEST_HOSTNAME=no
2. There are two empty /etc/hostname files: hostname and hostname6.
Do I have just to put there hostname?
3. /etc/hosts has what I need to change.
4. I was unable to find /etc/nodename. Do I have to create it? What properties should contain this file?
5. hostname <new hostname>
In previous time when I tried to change host name with Management Console my system crashed, I changed: /etc/hosts, but it didn't work.
Thank you.

Hello.
Using DHCP you may really have problems changing the hostname.
The fact is: The DNS server may assign your machine a host name which has nothing to do with the host name you sent to the DHCP server. Depending on the server (typically DHCP and DNS server are the same machine) nothing will really work. (This is the case with my configuration where the servers are located on a DSL router.)
I solved the problem the following way:
* I created two host names (MyMachine and MyMachineNet) in the /etc/hosts file (Solaris 10 and newer: /etc/inet/ipnodes must be changed, too.)
* "MyMachine" is 127.0.0.1 (localhost):
127.0.0.1 localhost MyMachine
192.168.178.100 MyMachineNet* I assigned the name "MyMachineNet" to the network interface in /etc/hostname.networkcard.
* I use DHCP
The computer name (in /etc/nodename) is "MyMachine". Some programs (e.g. Gnome !) establish a TCP/IP connection to "MyMachine" instead of "localhost" (I do not understand why). These programs are now satisfied because the host name "MyMachine" represents 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
I know that there is a switch that tells Solaris to take the machine name from DHCP/DNS instead of /etc/nodename. Unfortunately I forgot where it is.

10.5.3 problem with changing computer name

Having an issue with computer naming after 10.5.3. Here is the issue:
New Leopard install, fresh
Installed all updates, including the 10.5.3 update
Change the computer name in System Preferences\Sharing
The new name is reflected in Computer Name field
The new name is also reflected as the Local Hostname under Edit
Rebooted the machine
Look at System Preferences\Sharing\Service and none of the services reflect the new computer name\local hostname, the old computer name is listed for each service
Click on the Edit button and deleted the Local Hostname, left it blank and clicked OK
Now the new Local Hostname is listed for each service
Open a Terminal window and the old computer name is listed at the prompt
Reboot the machine
Open a Terminal window and the old computer name is listed at the prompt
Not being a Unix guru, I assume there may be a way to modify the computer name some other way than through the GUI. I sure hope so cause the new patch that was supposed to fix an issue with computer names appears to have created a new bug.

I'm posted an image of Aperture corruption, fresh this morning:
http://lemon.soju.co.uk/2008/06/05/would-you-trust-your-photos-to-an-application -that-does-this/
- New iMac 3.06GHz Dual Core, 4GB Memory, NVidia 512MB (received Sunday 1st June 2008)
- 10.5.2 upgraded to 10.5.3, then Aperture 2.1 trial installed
- First import of 40GB of photos, left to run overnight
- When trying to use this morning, Aperture screens were corrupt and it refused to shut down. I had to power off then boot back into Mac OS X. When I restarted Aperture it worked, but it still seemed to have problems taking over the machine - eg, I wasn't able to send mail from Gmail within VMWare Fusion until I closed down Aperture. I never have problems with VMWare Fusion.

Problem with changes and visualization in the forms

I have a problem with forms, the problem is the next, I do a modification in the database with a update or with form and in other station no visualized the change. The other station need close the form and open for visualize the modification.
Why I have this problem

I am not sure what you mean. Are you saying that after one form changes and commits data, it is not visible on the other user's screen?
If that is the problem, unfortunately, that is the way Forms works. A form must re-query the data to see changes on the database. If your form must close and re-open, then you should create a trigger in your form to re-query the same data.
I hope this helps.

Problem with change capture

HI,
we've a problem with the Change Capture in the DAC's Execution Plan.
We've cretead a new data model but we want to reuse the image table and the Change Capture process, so we've perfomed the following step:
1) create the mapping SDE e SIL for the new tables of datamodel in Informatica Power Center
2) register these mapping in the DAC
3) create a subject areas and associate these tasks to this
4) create execution plan including "change capture" and "change capture sync"
5) execute our "execution plan"
the problem is the following:
from the Execute -> Current Run Tab -> task
we can see that execution time of change capture is 0
from the Execute -> Current Run Tab -> task details
there aren't any change capture details
So, our image table are empty.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Antonello.

HI Antonello,
I am also having the same issue like you. I have created a new execution plan in DAC 101341 and ran it. It seems like the task Change Capture For Siebel OLTP completed in 0 seconds and there are no details for that particular task. Can you please let me know if you have resolved this issue? Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Ravi

Problem with change bank information on ESS

Dear All,
I have a problem with the bank details, like when the user is changing the bank details, its throwing an error " Bank key value begda endda has a grouping value of "01" instead of "" ".
Thanks

Yogesh,
RPUFIXDS should solve the mostly inconsistencies (PSHRD-GPRVL field)
RPUFACEVIEKN align the field VIEKN to the feature IVWID for the ESS service
RPUFACECPRFN adjust T582G from T582A-CPRFN
If your refer to CCURE PC_UI indicator in T77S0, you should activate it only if you're using concurrent employment
Look for N06_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_US.doc ([link|http://help.sap.com/bp_hcmv1600/BBLibrary/Documentation/N06_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_US.doc]), and read 2.3.7.5 Removing Inconsistencies in Employee Data for a full explanation about this issue.

I can't see a message from my union because of problems with changed adress for pop-upwindows and some other issue

Hi,
I'm from Sweden and I'm having problems with a website my union has. I have been able to see messages from them before but they've changed their adress and on the site they tell people they have to put the new adress on the approved list for pop-up windows. I have done so but it's still not working. Maybe I've done it wrong, I don't know but it's annoying as hell that I can't see the messages they send.
I really need help with this.

Strange problem with changing external links site-wide

Hi, i'm having a problem that i just cant work out; i'll describe whats happening and would greatly apriciate any help anyone can give.
when i type in an external/absolute link in dreamweaver sidewide change link function i keep getting a message saying it cant find any links with that name ("no links to.....found".
i've tried creating a simple link in my index.html like http://google.com then searching for that so i know its there and dreamweaver still tells me that http://google.com, www.google.com, /google.com and every other variation i can think of doesnt exist. In addition to that when i search for broken links and click external links to try changing them there, the search function finds the links i'm looking for and lets me type in the new link i want but when i hit enter it reverts to the old link.
at first i thought it was a problem with my copy of dreamweaver but i downloaded my site to a hard drive and tried on my uni computers copy of dw cs3 and cs4 with the same outcome.
i have about 1000 of the particular link in my site that i need to change and really dont want to do this manually, if anyone could help i'd be extremely grateful.
thanks, Andy

note: although it seems straight forward i also followed youtube guides on defining my site and changing the links to make sure i hadnt missed something obvious.
although it still maybe something obvious i just cant see it and i've been googling to find out if other people have had this problem but couldnt find anything

Problem after changing hostname

I wanted to change my hostname so i followed the following instruction, as given by one of the members in this forum
Edit /etc/hostconfig.
Add the following line:
HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME
where $HOSTNAME is the hostname you want to set.
That change will take effect after a reboot.
If you want the hostname to show up at the prompt,
add a line similar to the following one to your
.bash_profile:
PS1='\h:\w \u\$ '
where \h is the hostname, \w is the working directory
of the current user and \u is the name of the current
user.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FOR THE NEW PROBLEM
I did what was suggested, and things have gone wrong. I made the changes and booted the computer.This is what i am getting now:
localhost:/root# CSRHIDTransitionDriver::stop
IOBluetoothHCIController::start Idle Timer Stopped.
Now i dont know what to do, i booted the system from the cd, went to terminal and thought of changing the hostconfig file, again (back to original), however, there is no vi or any editor available.
When ever i boot the system i presented with a root prompt. I went to /etc and tried to remove HOSTNAME=$XXX, but the system is not allowing me to make any changes.
What can i do now? Please guide. I will appreciate a quick response as i whole of my research work is in my laptop

Hello, Thanks for giving me directions.
1) Ok if its not clear to you, then i will explain again.
I wanted to change the hostname of my computer since whenever i open a terminal i use to get as command prompt like myfullname@somealphanumericcharacters. So i wanted to change the alphanumericcharacters. I was suggested to go to /etc and add HOSTNAME=$something. I did that (using sudo), rebooted the system and i am getting the following message:
localhost:/root#CSHIDTransitionDrivers::stop
IOBluetoothHCIContrller::start Idle Timer Stopped.
and when i hit enter i am given a root prompt:
localhost:/root#. I thought since i am root i can change the /etc file. So i tired using vi but i am given following msg:E483: Can't get temp file name(twice) Hit Enter to continue.
when i hit return, vi open the file and when i try to remove the entery i am given the following msg: Warning changing a read only file,E303: Unable to open swap file for hostconfig, recovery impossible.
I tried to change the permissions, using chmod, but i cant, same msg: file is read only.
I can see all my datafiles, but can't access them. DOnt understand if i am root why cant i make changes.
Furhter, while doing reboot, pressed Command+V, lots of things which dont make sense to me, however, i did find the following:
CSRHIDTransitionDriver::probr:-v
CSRHIDTransitionDriver::start before command
/etc/rc:line 14: XXXX unbound variable (XXX is the hostname i wanted to add, this is what i added to hostconfig file)
Paril8 18:28:04 launchd: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to single user mode.
I went checked/etc/rc, was not able to find the variable XXX.
I tried what you suggested, cd /Volumes/Macintosh HD. But i am not able to change anything. if i try vi, it is not recognized. SO this is all i got. Please help

Problem with Change Document FM - Not all fields are tracked in CDPOS

Hello everybody,
Using transaction SCDO and following necessary steps described in forum, I have created a change document ZFBR to track changes of a table ZFBR. The problem is, the generated FM ZFBR_WRITE_DOCUMENT does not track changes of some fields of the table (inserts are always ok, problem is with updates). After some debugging I realized that the FM DDIF_NAMETAB_GET was returning the table DFIES_TAB where the LOGFLAG was empty for some fields (which are not tracked) so that changes of these fields were not visible in table CDPOS. However, fields with LOGFLAG = 'X' are tracked succesfully (changes are visible in table CDPOS).
I did not specify any fields to be get logged or not during the steps in SCDO (can we do such a specification anywhere?), does anyone know why the field LOGFLAG has the value '' (space)?
Best regards;
Ozcan.

Hi again,
The problem has been solved.
The data elements used in a table are the reason for the problem I have described above. When displaying the details of a data element, under tab "Further Characteristics" , the "Change Document" checkbox has to be selected to enable change document tracking. I have copied the problematic data elements with Z prefix and made the necessary enabling. I have replaced the data elements with their Z equivalents.
Best regards.
Ozcan.
