Problem with provisioning and external SQL server connection

I am configuring IPAM 2012 R2 on a our management server. Completed the first step by enabling the feature. No issues.
Now I am on the Provisioning IPAM step. I get to the Configure Database step...
I choose Microsoft SQL server,
What should those values be in the Server name and Database name fields. Instructions show fqdn or ip address but that doesnt seem to be working for me.
I get the following error at the end of the Provisioning IPAM wizard,
IPAM Deployment failed with the following error.
Failed to connect to database server. Check the database name, connectivity and remote access.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)
You can restart this provisioning wizard from the IPAM overview page.
From the management server I have tested the SQL Connection with a udl file. I used myServer\myInstance and it works. It reports that I have made the Connection to the server and database with the sql credentials i have provided.
Thanks

Ran
into a problem with connecting to the DB on the SQL server from the IPAM server. The Dba and I checked the target SQL instance was enabled TCP and listening on a valid TCP port. SQL server was set to use port 1443 for incoming connections.
IPAM was set by default to use 1433.
Also used
netstat-n to identify issue and verified 1443 on SQL server was
being used. Made the correction under the IPAM provisioning wizard and connected to the database. Fixed.
Important note I was able to connect to the database with a .udlfile
without any issues
Also note that 2012 R2 IPAM only supports 2012 SQL Enterprise. Why?

Problems with printer and external HD connected via Time Capsule with Windo

Hello everyone!
In January I bought an iMac 27 "(OS version: OS X 10.6.2) and a week ago a Time Capsule 1TB.
I connected the iMac and a laptop with Windows XP SP3 both via ethernet to the TC, and to the USB port of the TC a USB hub to which I connected a Canon iP4200 and a LACIE 500GB HARD DISK.
I reformatted the hard disk file system to Lacie Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and installed MacDrive 8 in the laptop.
Now (after formatting the HD), with the iMac everything works: internet connection via ethernet or wireless, printing via ethernet or wireless as well as hard disk connection via ethernet or wireless.
Laptop, instead, is only able to connect to the internet via ethernet or wireless while it isn't able to see and use printer and external hard drive, even though I installed AirPort Utility for Windows!
The laptop also detects the AirPort disk of the TC but if I enter the (correct) password I get an error message!..
Please, somebody help me, I do not know what to do!
Thanks

Have you run Bonjour on the Win PC's? Do a search on the support page and there's a description on getting things up and running from a WinPC in a Mac environment.

Problem with scanning - printer display shows "Server connection error"

My printer has been working great and I have had no problems with scanning. But two days ago, all of a succen I rec'd message "server connection error". I tried to send to email as well as computer. Got the same message. As usual, I don't recall any action on my part that could have caused this problem. The copying and printing functions work fine. Detailed advice to someone technically challenged will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Problem with "Database Gateway for SQL Server"

Hello,
i am testing the different technologies for connecting an oracle database with a sql-server database.
The way using 10g-generic-connectivity with ODBC works fine, but the 11g-DG4MSQL makes problems.
Environment:
Server PEGASUS (32bit Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2) with Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0

On PEGASUS i have installed the gateway in a new oracle home directory:

At first your configuration is not really correct.
=====================================================
In the LISTENER.ORA from 10g, you must only refer to the database and hsodbc 10g
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = INTEGRAT)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = INTEGRAT)
(SID_DESC =

(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1521))
===========================================================
Then you have to create a new listener (new name) in the gateway oracle_home on a different port than instance database:
D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\network\admin\listener.ora
SID_LIST_LISTENERGTW =
(SID_LIST =

LISTENERGTW=
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pegasus.cursor.de)(PORT = 1522))
To start it, use the command below:
D:\oracle\product\11.1.0\tg_1\bin\LSNRCTL start listenergtw
===========================================================
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora:
match the DG4MSQL with the listener on 1522 port
HSODBC match with binary10g on listener 1521 port
MSSQLDG =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEGASUS)(PORT = 1522))
(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = DG4MSQL))
(HS = OK)
MSSQL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEGASUS)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = MSSQLTEST))

Try to configure and let me know your feedback

Problem using JDBC and MS SQL Server

I got a problem trying to acces a database on my SQL Server. I created the table and my connection seems ok, but when i try to get some data from a table, this happens (see below).

here's the code that i used to access the db with:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection

Statement stm = conn.createStatement();
String query = "Select * from players where teamnr = " + nr +
" order by squadnr";
ResultSet rs = stm.executeQuery(query);
any help is more than welcome
tnx
Jo

If all the tables are in the same database, you can use
Connection.setCatalog("db-name")
to change the current database. But the suggestion to include the database name in the SQL statement is safer, because you do not need to worry about changing the database at the right point.

CFMX7 and Local SQL Server Connections

I recently upgraded from CF5 to CFMX7. All went well, but I
am now not able to access SQL Server DBs on the local Machine.
When I Verify the Datasource via CF Admin, I am getting the
following error.
Connection verification failed for data source: lo_db_laptop
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket.
Connection refused: connect
These Datasources were working fine in CF5, and have not been
changed since migration.
Has anyone experienced similar issues? Any suggestions as to
what may be causing this?
Many Thanks in advance

Hi dimaint, thanks for your reply.
The datasources are created via ODBC Administrator as a
System DSN. They are working fine via ODBC Data Source
Administrator. And they were fine via CF5 before upgrading to MX7.
This is the case for Datasources that existed prior to
upgrade, as well as any created post upgrade.
I'm not specifying the username and password when creating or
connecting to the Data Sources. Datasources are configured with
Windows Authentication.
Thanks again

Problem with Sensitive ResultSet in SQL Server 2000

Hi,
I am trying to use SCROLL_SENSITIVE and CONCUR_UPDATABLE ResultSet accessing SQL Server 2000. I am using JDK 1.3 and supported JDBC driver. When I tried to insert a row, I got the following message:
sp_cursor: The cursor identifier value provided (0) is not valid
Is there any setting in SQL Server that I need to configure or do I miss something in my code?
Thanks,
Andi Setiyadi
Here are my codes:
cs = connection.prepareCall("{call sp_deptInfo (?,?,?)}", ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
cs.setInt(1, 0);
cs.setString(2, "");
cs.setString(3, "name/orderbyid");
rs = cs.executeQuery();
rs.last();
int rows = rs.getRow();
rs.afterLast();
rs.moveToInsertRow();
rs.updateInt(1, rows + 1);
rs.updateInt(2, Integer.parseInt(parentDept));
rs.updateString(3, newDept);
rs.updateInt(4, 1);
rs.insertRow();

I am getting the resultset by calling a stored procedure. I am not changing the stored procedure itself.Database drivers create 'connections' and 'statements' which match the SQL that you pass it. You are passing it a stored proc. The only information that it has is on a stored proc. It doesn't matter where the stored proc got its info from. The stored proc doesn't return tables and indexes into tables. It returns a result set (that is what your code suggests.) That is all the information that the driver has.
Consider your stored proc might return this
select * from mytable where ....
But it could also do this
select 'value1', 'value2', ... from dual
On the java side it isn't not going to know which of the above that you did. Nor should it. And you can't update/insert into that second example.
Or at least that is how I look at it.
Your code looks like it is trying to 'update' the result set that a stored proc returned. And I simply don't see how that is possible. Or even why anyone would want to do it.

Problem with T400 and external monitor (1920x1200 resolution)

Hi there
My laptop:
ThinkPad T400 2767-C99* (graphics is: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 256MB / X4500MHD (Switchable Graphics)), OS is WinXP
I just installed the newest video driver from the lenovo page (which also installs "ATI catalyst")
Externale Monitor:
I just bought a Samsung SyncMaster 2443FW, 24" TFT monitor with maximum resolution 1920x1200
Problem:
Monitor works great with my newer T400s and my old Acer laptop. However, with my T400 (described above), I can't make the monitor use the 1920x1200 resolution. However, all the other resolutions look ugly so I need it to work with 1920x120
- If i change the resolution by rightclicking on the Windows XP desktop (and then properties=>settings) and set the screen resolution there to 1920x1200, then my monitor only used a lower resoltion (1440x900) and I get a scrolling effect as I move my pointer across the screen
- if I use ATI catalyst software to set the resolution, I can only chose smaller resolutions (it does no go up to 1920x1200)
Questions
Is that a hardware (maybe the graphic card does not support 1920x1200) or a software problem (maybe some problem with the driver) or just a matter of setting?
What can I do?
Help would be very much appreaciated!

Thank you for your answer.
I have already installed the newsest drivers from Lenovo. I don't really see why I should install a non-official driver. I am convinced that it must work somehow with the official driver.
Kind regards
there are plenty of instances where the official driver have glitches... just look around the forum to find instances of which.... while official drivers maybe better in most instances, there are always the odd case where it doesn't work as well as it should. If they perfectly out of box, then there would never need to be multiple revisions and updates.

Problems with TIMESTAMP Field from SQL Server

OBIEE 11g
Hi All,
I want to convert data into OBIEE that is coming from a TIMESTAMP field in SQL Server Database. So in SQL Server field has data like '9/20/2012 12:05:08 AM'. I have first changed the datatype in physical layer to DATETIME and then in BMM I do a CAST(<DATE_FIELD> AS DATE). On the frontend when I use this column the error I get back is [nQSError: 59030] Illegal data type conversion from source type: VARBINARY to target type: TIMESTAMP. (HY000). Does anyone know a workaround or solution.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Guys,
None of the solutions you mentioned have worked unfortunately. I have a date column and another column that holds user id. I basically want to do a count of all the user id's where that particular date column is NULL. I have checked in the physical layer and the date column in question is coming from SQL Server as a TIMESTAMP datatype. So I initially did not change anything and brought the column in as is but that did not work out. I then tried to change the datatype in the physical layer to DATETIME and then also DATE. After changing the datatype in the physical layer in the BMM I would do a CAST(<date column> as DATE) and this still did not work. I then tried to just change the datatype to DATETIME and DATE without doing the CAST in the BMM and this still did not work. Not too sure what to do now.

install issues, your support personnel are trained not to provide any reasonable help with even minor questions and concerns helping to make sure your trial experiences are progress and successful, your product support Mgrs show lack luster concern if you
need some technical direction. The first thing that is asked is do you have a support contract or credit card for this session. Now, if I am evaluating products a support contract should not be necessary as you should want customers to have good
outcomes with their trials.
I have been trying to configure test servers with the above mentioned products for the past 6 days with no success. Each install is different and the configurations some times work and some times they don't. I reach out for help in your forums,
etc., and am still at square one.
This frustrating and breeds a lack of confidence in your organization. When Bill Gates was in charge I experienced none of the nonsense today.
I have identified bugs and issues to your product teams and they gladly accept these. But when help is needed...it is send us an email type attitude. I have 8 8 core servers running windows 2008 server R2 slated for upgrading to windows
2012 server, and more after that. If I don't get the trial software to work, the upgrades are terminated.
Please give me some help or you will loose me as a customer, and customers that I installed systems for.

Hi again Alan,
Thanks for the reply, i have however not been able to find any viable hotfix from MS addressing this problem so far. I only found the QFE for 2008 R2, but this is not applicable in my enviroment.
Sadly, we are experiencing the same issue with the 2008 R2 server as print server now. So the problem seems to be with the 2012 R2 RDS servers.
We have been able to narrow it down to a probable cause though:
The issue seems to be the cause of Client Side Rendering, even if it is disabled on the shared printers. We are seeing heavy bloating in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider
The same printers are listed multiple times in subkeys for each user-SID.
The print server is listed twice under the 'Servers' key, once with just the hostname and once with the fqdn. Benath these two many of the printers are also listed multiple times.
Consequences are that printers are showing as clones for the users and they cannot set them as default printer. If they remove the printer manually, it just reappears. Setting a delete on the shared printer through GPP does not work either.
The only manual workaround we have found working is to delete the entire "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider" key on the
terminal server in question, and then restart the print spooler. This fixes the problem for the user, but once they start logging off and on again, the bloating of the registry is at it once more - and the problems following with it.
In an enviroment with 70+ printers and 15 RDS servers, spread on 3 different farms, it's not a good solution though.
Any ideas?

Sync Problems With Ipod and External HDD

Ive just got a new 4G ipod after returing it because of HDD problems and when i try to sync with itunes, it manages to sync a random number of songs (ill get to that later) often about a 100 and the says "Ipod could not be written or read from". The thing is that i use an Lacie 80Gb External USB 2.0 Powered Harddrive as my Music library. Also it seems not to be USB timeout because ive tried to power both the External HDD and Ipod with an external powered USB 2.0 Hub. Ive found out that the number of songs that syncs each time depends on the songs, because it seems that some songs cannot just be copied (ive tried to copy them through finder and it dosent work either, but moving and/or deleting them works) and they arent in anyway different(what i know of) to the songs that manages to be synced to the ipod. None of the songs have any kind of DRM restrictions.
Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Use An External USB 2.0 powered HDD as main media storage

Ive had it on my Ibook before and then moved it to the HDD because of Space Shortage, and then just added as ive aquired more music. Idon't Really Remeber but i think it worked before without any hiccups. oh well otherwise i can just delete those files because theyre only single files here and there. but its quite irritating because they don't seem to have any kind of corruption.

Firefox problems with slow and unreliable dialup internet connection

I have a slow an unreliable dialup internet connection. This is all that is available in my area -- no form of 'broadband' internet is available, not even satelight (I have too many trees in the way).
What happens is that due to the poor quality of the analog telephone system (very old and poorly maintained copper cables), my modem drops the internet connection from time to time -- it *usually* dials back, but sometimes I have to manually restart the connection. Because the the connection is so slow, it takes a long time to completely load pages and if the connection is lost in the middle of loading a page, Firefox seems to become 'confused' and even if I stop loading the page and then try to reload it, it does not do so. I have an external modem, so I can watch the blinking lights, so I know when data is being transfered (I also have a connection monitor feature as part of my dialup connection software which shows a bar chart of data transfers over the dialip connection).
I *seems* like what is happening is that Firefox has open network connections that become 'void' when the connection is lost and then reconnected and Firefox attempts to re-cycle these connections. Or else it has 'worker threads' that have become confused or wedged.
Are there settings that I can set (eg with 'about:config') to deal with these issues?

Maybe it helps if you toggle the File > Work Offline setting on/off.
You can also try to reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Problem with itunes and external hard drive

I've have recently downloaded the newest version of itunes, I also have an external hard drive with 40gbs of music on.
When I open itunes preferences and set library to an external one, none of my music copies to itunes.
I have tried to individually copy music folders to itunes, but my whole mac freeze's
Any advice please?

Problem with iTunes and external drive

I moved my files to an external hard drive months ago but apparently forgot to uncheck the auto synch button. It seems that I just managed to copy them all back to my computer hard drive where I now only have 6gb. Since I originally moved the files I have put some movies and a little music on the computer and have iPad files in the mix. How to I get it all synched so that I know I have everything and then delete it from my hard drive?
I then would like to add some new CDs to the IPod, but do not want them stored on my computer drive, just external drive.
Please feel free to treat me like I am clueless because I am. Once I burned my entire Cd collection and moved it I have not done anything else with iTunes except buy the occasional app.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I was trying to follow directions on another post which did not seem to fit so I began trying random things. Very bad idea!

Nevermind. I figured it out.
