Problems distinguish between OEM and GRID in documentation

Hi all,
I know, probably mine is an annoying question, but I really find difficult to distinguish the topis related to OEM and GRID. I have to configure the OEM dbconsole for a cluster, forcing a virtual IP, but I go lost in documentation (metalink too) because is quite impossible to have a clear and definitive guide to OEM NO GRID.
Is anyone able to point me to an exhaustive documentation??
Any help will be appreciated.
thank you very much

You are right, there's no specific DBConsole documentation. Standalone DBConsole is installed and configured by utility 'emca'. On metalink there's a comprehensive description of this utility,including for clustered environments.

Distinguishing between topics and queues

          Hi,
          I have a generic piece of code that takes a javax.jms.Destination that does different
          things depending if the destination is a queue or a topic.
          The problem is that it seems that destinations in Weblogic implement both queue
          and topic:
          instanceof queue <new_JMSTopic_1>
          queue name: <new_JMSTopic_1>
          weblogic.jms.common.InvalidDestinationException: Destination must be a queue,
          ne
          w_JMSTopic_1
          at weblogic.jms.common.Destination.checkDestinationType(Destination.java
          :113)
          at weblogic.jms.client.JMSSession.createBrowser(JMSSession.java:1516)
          at weblogic.jms.client.JMSSession.createBrowser(JMSSession.java:1500)
          at Test.run(Test.java:100)
          at Test.main(Test.java:311)
          Is there anyway for me to programatically distinguish between queues and topics
          as there seems not to be any javadoc on weblogic.jms.common.Destination and instanceof
          does not work? I would prefer not to rely on exceptions.
          I'm using Weblogic 8.1 sp2.
          Thanks

I have tried using different headphones, but problem still persists. I am not sure wheather this is a hardware or software issue..PLEASE HELP!!

What's the difference between OEM and standart licensing of VMware vSphere for users?

Good day,
Could you please explain me,
What's the difference between OEM and standart licensing of VMware vSphere for users?

The difference is usually the support you get. With OEM versions you'll often get support from the OEM and not from VMware directly.

Distinguishing between CSV and Excel file formats

I am trying to distinguish between CSV and Excel files. Most of the files I need to process are CSV, but some have been opened and re-saved in Excel format. I know about the Excel toolbox available, but haven't used it yet.
I need to be able to open a spreadsheet file regardless of if it is in CSV or Excel format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are two example files, one CSV and one Excel. Both have .XLS file extensions.
Attachments:
20-4-XLS.xls ‏21 KB
20-5-CSV.xls ‏8 KB

Hi Paul,
I think the matter is not the extention (xls or csv or whatever) but the format of the data written in your file.
To see what I mean, open the xls file you posted with notepad... What does it look like ?
You have tobe sure of the format of the file you want to read so that you can develop an appropriate VI... if you want to be able to read different type of data format, do a test before reading the file and then use an appropriate routine for each format.
Hope this helps you...
BTW, to read the one named CSV, a simple "read from spreadsheet file" VI will do the job

Distinguish between AW5 and 6 in script

I'm trying to create an application in Automator to automate the conversion of AW to iWork. I'm using one of Yvan's scripts to convert AW6 to iWork successfully. The only step remaining is to convert to AW6 from 5, something that shouldn't be too hard since all it has to do is open and save. However, I can't find a good way to distinguish between AW5 and 6. In his script, I believe Yvan does this here:
on AWtoAW6(leCheminOriginal_UniText) -- leCheminOriginal_UniText est Unicode text
          local leFichier, flag, nf, l, nouveauChemin
          set leFichier to leCheminOriginal_UniText as alias
          try
                    tell application "AppleWorks 6.2.9"
activate
open leFichier
                              set nf to name of document 1
                              if nf contains v6 then
                                        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to v6
                                        set l to text items of nf
                                        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
                                        set nf to l as text
                              end if
                              if nf does not end with ".cwk" then set nf to nf & ".cwk"
                              set nouveauChemin to cheminDeStockage & nf
                              tell application "System Events"
                                        if exists (file nouveauChemin) then set name of file nouveauChemin to (text 1 thru -(2 + (length of "cwk")) of nf) & my horoDateur(modification date of file nouveauChemin) & ".cwk" (* name stamped *)
make new file at end of folder cheminDeStockage with properties {name:nf, file creator:"BOBO", file type:fileType}
                              end tell
                              set leFichier to nouveauChemin as alias
save document 1 in leFichier
close document 1
                    end tell -- AppleWorks 6
          on error
                    set rapport to rapport & msg96 & nouveauChemin & return
          end try
end AWtoAW6
But I'm not sure. What I need is a script that opens, checks if it's an AW5 file, if it is opens and saves in AW6, and then proceeds to open my other script that can do the

I'm not sure what you mean. The files have to be saved as AW6 for the iWork apps to be able to open them.
Yvan has added all of his AppleWorks scripts to his Box.com account. He says the one you need is https://app.box.com/s/hqq9jwfi45nknjpf6d52

Distinguish between 0001 and 0006 Vendor in SRM?

Hi,
how can i distinguish between 0001 and 0006 vendors in SRM side after they have been replicated from R/3.
Regards,
Neha

Hi Muthu,
Thanks for your response.
VENMAP contains both the vendors as both the vendors are replicated from ECC.
I have found one solution:
During the replication add a piece of code in both the methods of the BADI BBP_TRANSDATA_PREP
What will the code achieve:
            From the table CT_LFA1 identify the vendors with KTOKK = '0006'
            for those vendors set CT_LFA1-SPERM = 'X'.
            This will update the table field BUT000-XBLCK with 'X'.
            Hence, this can be used in the search help to distinguish between 0001 and 0006 vendors.
           XBLCK is used for blocking vendors from any purchasing activity .
in my opinion this solution should work.
What do u say?

Neha Misra

Programmatically distinguish between running and reserved vi's

I want to programatically check whether a VI is running. I tried to use the "ExecutionState" property, but this did not work for me. My problem is that my definition of running does not match the execution state property’s definition of running:
My Definitions
·         Running = Some element of this VI is currently executing (run arrow looks like this: )
·         Reserved = This VI is a sub VI of a running VI, but this VI is not actually running (run arrow looks like this: )
·         Idle = This VI is in memory but is not running or reserved (run arrow looks like this: )
Execution State property definitions
·         Running = Some element of this VI is currently executing OR   this VI is a sub VI of a running VI (run arrow looks like this  or like this )
·         Idle = This VI is in memory but is not running (run arrow looks like this: )
Since each VI's front panel displays a running arrow when that VI is running and a reserved arrow when that VI is reserved, there must be some way to programatically distinguish between these two states. I hope that this distinction is exposed to programmers.

You should also go vote for this idea - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Need-a-way-to-visualize-VI-call-chain-hierarchy/idi-p/...
Just to expand on P@Anand's suggestion, because it is a good one - you can obtain references to all the VIs and check their state, and then open the BDs of those which are Run Top Level and manuallly inspect where the code is actually stuck.
Note that if your top level VIs are the ones which are reentrant, you will need to open a reference to the clone, and that's not listed in the All VIs In Memory property, although there are some ways around that. You can try to open N references in a loop using MyVI.vi:# as the VI name and ignore those which return an error, but you should note that the numbers don't necessarily start from 1 and that NI might close up the option to get the clone references like that.
You could also try closing the main VI to unload it and then opening a new one and looking at the Unopened SubVIs hierarchy, which should list all of the clones. I'm assuming that if the main VI is unloaded, only the clones which are still running will still be in memory, but that might change if you have classes (which don't unload) and I haven't actually tried this myself.

How can I distinguish between iMessages and SMS messages in the iOS 7's "Messages" app?

I often chat with the same contact using both services, but I just have a duplicate contact thread in the "Messages" app, which I cannot distinguish unless I go into the thread itself and check to see whether the conversation is blue or green. Is there a way to distinguish between the two services? If so, how?
If not... Apple, get on it.

Excuse me great powerful one. I will certainly deal with it and I'll try to survive. Sorry if I have troubled you, great Sir. I am not worthy of your answers.
BTW: If you would have read the Q thoroughly you would not have posted an exact same answer.
"...unless I go into the thread itself and check to see whether the conversation is blue or green. Is there a way to distinguish between the two services?"
And I got your reply saying:
"Yes, by going into the thread itself and check to see whether the conversation is blue or green."
Wow, that was heplful.

How to distinguish between enabled and disabled tasks in SSDT-BI 2012

Hi,
I've got SSDT-BI 2012 together with VS2012 installed. Simple questions: What is the difference between enabled and disabled tasks in control flow from the design/color point of view? I do see that the disabled tasks changes to grey (omg are you really kidding
me????) from black. This could be a bad joke or dream however is not.
So I'm kindly asking you to help me solve this problem. How can I change the color difference between these two options (enabled task vs disabled task)? I do not care whether the one will be yellow or pink, simply just need to be recognizable at first
look and not under long and painful examination.
Thanks for your reply. Hopefully it will be useful.
Karol.

Hi Karol,
It’s true that it only changes the font color of the task name text to grey after disabling a task in SSDT 2012. In SSDT 2010, the whole task control including icon will turn grey after it is disabled; in BIDS, the background color of the task control will
turn grey after it is disabled. These behaviors are by design. Personally, I agree with you that this behavior in SSDT 2012 is not very readable.

Problem SSO between VPN and NAC

Hello
Description of our problem : SSO doesn't work
-on the first connexion from vpn client we insert two time the login and password :one time for the client vpn and the seconde time for CAA (clean Access agent).
-although for the other connexion that succeed, we insert only one time the login and password (for vpn only) and for CAA the connexion is done automatiquely and a some hours later we reinsert two times login and password for vpn and CAA.
The following steps are done to configure Cisco NAC Appliance to work with a VPN concentrator:
Step 1 Add Default Login Page =ok
Step 2 Configure User Roles and Clean Access Requirements for your VPN users =ok
Step 3 Enable L3 Support on the CAS = ok
Step 4 Verify Discovery Host =ok (CAS IP ADDRESS 192.168.2.11)
Step 5 Add VPN Concentrator to Clean Access Server =ok (ASA IP ADDRESS 192.168.2.1)
Step 6 Make CAS the RADIUS Accounting Server for VPN Concentrator =ok
Step 7 Add Accounting Servers to the CAS (accounting server is CAM IP ADDRESS 192.168.20.10)
Step 8 Map VPN Concentrator(s) to Accounting Server(s)=ok
Step 9 Add VPN Concentrator as a Floating Device =ok
Step 10 Configure Single Sign-On (SSO) on the CAS/CAM =ok
the database for vpn authentication is cisco secure acs(192.168.1.30).
Tanks to any anybody to give us a possible solution.

Hi
I have just gone the the same issues with SSO VPN with my CAS in real-ip mode.
First thing to consider, when your testing, every time you test a user, make sure you go into the CAS or CAM and remove them as a certified device or active user before you perform your next test. I found that while I was testing that it would sometimes cache the user and I was getting successful auth attempts but due to their device being already accepted on a previous connection because the CAS was not made aware that the user had logged out correctly.
1. Make sure you have a fully functional DNS system on the inside network, I didnt realize how important it was to have forward and reverse look ups for your CAS and CAM. Make sure that all CAS and cams are listed in dns with correct domain names.
This in very important if your running your own CA certificates on cas and cam. Make sure that the CAM and CAS can resolve each other via dns. Make sure the CAM and CAS can perform reverse lookups of each other. Also make sure that when the user VPN's into your ASA that they can also perform DNS lookups and reverse lookups. If they cant perform dns look ups, you may need to temporarily allow the untrusted network full access while you resolve the DNS lookup problem on the client computer. One of the issues I had was that the VPN clients couldnt resolve internal DNS names and so the CCA agent would never auto pop-up and start the auto login process because it was trying to resolve the CAM name and also check that the CA certificate I had on the CAS was legitimate as I had used names in my certs and not IP addresses.
2. Make sure your VPN group settings on the IPSEC policy of the ASA has DNS pointing to your internal DNS server.
3. I know you already said you have done this but check to make sure that the VPN group setup on your ASA for your remote access users, has been setup with the radius accounting being directed the INSIDE interface IP address of your CAS, (if you are running your CAS in real-ip, I found that the inside interface was the only interface listening on 1813, do a 'netstat -an' on the cas to check) if your running in VGW mode then you only have 1 ip address to direct it to anyway.
Follow from step 15 in following link
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6128/products_configuration_example09186a008074d641.shtml
3. Troubleshoot and make sure that the ASA actually sends a radius accounting message to the CAS. I did this by ssh into the CAS and doing a 'tcpdump -i any src and not tcp 22'. I then logged into the VPN client and made sure that once I entered my vpn user and pass, that the ASA authenticates the vpn user and then passes a radius accounting message to the CAS informing the CAS it has allowed a new user. If you dont see this radius accounting message hit the CAS interface go back to my step 3 and resolve.
4. Finally check that you have not mistyped a shared secret somwhere, ie between CAM and ACS, Between ASA and ACS, Between ASA and CAS. I had all my users authenticate though radius on my ACS server, a number of times I got caught out by a simple typo in a shared secret.
Try these things first.
Also someone else here on the forums linked this guide to me that also helped me setup my CAS correctly.

Problem syncing between Itunes and nike plus today, June 3rd?

I normally have no trouble syncing runs between itunes and nikeplus. However, today for some reason, Itunes cannot connect with Nikeplus. I had installed the Itunes update (so now am running itunes 8), and am wondering if this could be the problem?
Has anyone else experienced this today?

Yet again, the same problem here. My Nike+ update has always worked flawlessly. However, I just updated to v8.2 and this was my first upload attempt since updating. Now it no longer works. It just produces this generic error message:
"iTunes could not connect to nikeplus.com. An unknown error occurred (-50). Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
This just looks like a generic error if there is no internet connection. However, the internet connection is fine, and I can login through my browser to nikeplus.com without any issues. It's only when attempting to upload my Nike+ data through iTunes that it doesn't work. And it all happened on my first upload attempt after updating to iTunes v8.2.

Could someone help me to clearly distinguish between SOAP and HTTP adapter?

In which scenarios we can go for HTTP adapter and when to go for SOAP adapter?

Hi Lekshmi !!
A SOAP message will be bundled inside the soap envelope.HTTP is not an adapter in adapter engine whereas soap is an adapter i.e, HTTP doesn't require a communication channel where as SOAP requires.You can send soap messages using some SOAP client.
SOAP Adapter is used to xchange SOAP messages bw remote clients and webservices....
check this link for more differences..
SOAP and HTTP adapter
When you need to Send Data to XI from a Webservice , your SOAP adapter is used.
HTTP adapter is used when you want to post a HTTP request message from a web application to XI.
How can i make use of SOAP Sender Adapter without using any tools like XML Spy etc....
XML SPy is used as a TEST tool when you are sending SOAP information to XI. TO actually send data , you need to configure a webservice and construct a SOAP request message and post the data .
we use SOAP adapter when we need to connect to remote system or use Webservices in these cases we use SOAP adapter.
HTTP Adapter is used by extenal systems to connect to Intergartin server using native HTTP Interface.
the http adapter is a service which is directly connected to integration engine. Adapter Framework (Java) isnt involved. It is much more performant than SOAP adapter.
The SOAP adapter is written in Java and is responsible for the SOAP envelope around the real XML message. You can build/remove that envelope as well in the mapping and use instead http adapter. But standard for webservices is using SOAP adapter.
Check this thread....

Shuffle problem going between 2000 and XP?

I recently got my girlfriend a shuffle and it worked fine with my computer, which is running 2000 and has the latest iTunes updates and iPod updater. The only problem I have on my computer using her Shuffle or my Nano is the amount of songs I can transfer at once (which is usually 20, 10 on shuffle).
Anyway, I'm not sure if Shuffle was the latest version out of the box or not, but it didn't need updating from my computer, unless it was automatic. She took it home to try it on her computer (running XP) and iTunes wanted to format it. I gave her the updates off the site (since she doesn't have internet) and told her to try them since I didn't think it was needed. She tried that and it still managed to screw it up. So I had her restore it and that worked, but she decided after she got it to work to plug it back in again to play with the songs and it had to be restored again and then restored a few more times after that.
So I was wondering if there was anything I can do to fix it, like uninstall everything that deals with iPod and install the version that came with Shuffle then reinstall the new version over it along with the updater? Take it away because she's apparently bad with technology and have her only deal with my computer for updating her song list? Or was there another way to make it so she won't be restoring shuffle everytime she changes computers? Since I figure it should be compatible enough to go between different versions of windows with different versions of iTunes and still work with no problems.
Windows 2000

That's probably it, since she didn't have any of the music because it was with me. From what I remember, she went around that, and used restore after she backed up all the music. But from what I remember it takes no time at all to a few minutes to restore my Nano, but the Shuffle doesn't have a screen to tell you what's going on (and I find the updater is unreliable with info sometimes).
She has told me she did the same thing about 20 times before it started to work. So she must've been restoring and thinking 'this isn't doing anything' and ripped it out and eventually gave up and let it do it's thing.
But I'll have to deal with it next time when she tries to sync it up with my iTunes, so maybe it won't be a big problem this time around.

Photosmart C4480 - Problems sharing between XP and Vista

I have my Photosmart C4480 connected via USB to my desktop which is running Windows XP. I have a home network set up between this desktop and my laptop which is running Windows Vista 32-bit. File sharing works and the computers can succesfully ping each other so no problem there.
I have the printer set to share in XP, but Vista does not see the printer on the network. I installed the printer drivers on both computers.
I know this isn't where it goes, but perhaps someone will read it. I called tech support and spent 57 minutes on the phone and got nowhere. No less than 40 minutes of the 57 were spent in complete silence. The only step the tech support rep asked me to do was to download the newest drivers on the laptop, but then told me not to install them. After 57 minutes, he sent me an e-mail containing a link to the specs for the printer. He asked me to read to him what it said next to "Connectivity" which was of course USB 2.0. I had already tried to explain once to the gentleman the difference between a wireless printer and a printer being shared over a wireless network. Clearly he never got the picture. After I read the connectivity option of USB 2.0 to the guy, he remarked that the printer could not be used on any wireless network. So frustrating. Very, very dissappointed in HP tech support.Very, very unlikely that I will purchase another HP product.
Someone please help me.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I'm going to go through this very detailed and try to assume that you have no idea what you are doing so that the directions are clear and easy for anyone to understand.
1. You need to first install the printer on the computer that it will be connected to via USB (the Windows XP computer in my example). Follow the exact instructions provided with the printer for best results. The directions are easy and clear and the steps need to be completed in the order they advise for proper installation.
2. After you have the printer installed and working correctly on the computer the printer is directly connected to via USB, use the installation CD to install all the drivers on the computer that you want to access the printer via your home network (the Windows Vista computer in my example). When you put the provided installation CD in this computer click on Install or Setup or whatever similar option you are given on the menu. When you get near the end of the installation process, the setup prompts you to either connect the printer to the computer or to proceed and finish installation without connecting. You want to finish installation without connecting the printer.
3. Now that you have all of the appropriate drivers installed on both computers you want to set up your network. On the computer that has the printer directly connected (the Windows XP computer in my case), you want to run the Network Setup Wizard in order to set up printer sharing. In Windows XP, you want to click Start >> My Network Places. This will open up the My Network Places window. In this window on the left side you should see some options under the heading "Network Tasks". Click on "Set up a home or small office network". This will open the Network Setup Wizard. You will notice that one of the bulleted items listed for what you can do with a network is "Share a printer". Follow and complete all of the steps of the Network Setup Wizard. Once you have completed this, your network should be set up and ready to go.
4. Now you want to turn on sharing for the Photosmart C4480. Once again on the computer that has the printer directly connected via USB (again, Windows XP computer in my example), you want to click Start >> Control Panel >> Printers and Faxes. In this menu you should see your newly installed Photosmart C4480 printer. Right-click on this printer and select "Properties". This will open up the HP Photosmart C4400 series Properties window. You will notice that the window has several tabs at the top. Click on the "Sharing" tab. Select "Share this printer" and give the printer a name in the "Share name:" text box. Don't make the name complicated. I used "HP-C4480" for mine. Click "OK" to close the window and save the changes.
5. You need to find out what the IP address of the computer with the printer directly connected via USB is so that we can make sure your network is set up properly and that the other computer (running Windows Vista in my example) is able to properly communicate with the Windows XP computer. On the Windows XP computer that is connected to the printer, click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt. This will open up the Command Prompt window. Type "ipconfig" and press enter. This will show you your IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. Write down your IP address. It will be a series of four number separated by three periods (for example 192.178.1.2). You can close the command prompt window now.
6. Now you need to find out what this computer's name is on the network. Click the Start button and then right-click on "My Computer" and select properties. This will open the "System Properties" window. You will notice that there are several tabs at the top of this window. Select the "Computer Name" tab. The name of this tab can vary from computer to computer, but there will be a tab named "Computer Name" or "Network Name" or something similar. Select that tab. On this tab you will see "Full computer name:" and then to the right of that will be your computer's name on the network (DESKTOP for example). Write this down. Click "OK" to close this window.
7. Now you are done on the computer that has the printer directly connected via USB. Get on your other computer (the Windows Vista computer in my example). In Windows Vista click Start >> Accessories >> Command Prompt. This will open up the Command Prompt window. Type "ping IPaddress" and press enter. Put your IP address (for example 192.178.1.2) where I typed "IPaddress". This tests the communication between the two computers and will display the results after the test is done. Hopefully it will say something like 4 packets sent, 4 packets received, 0% lost. If packets were sent but not received then you have a network problem that must be sorted out before you printer is going to work.
8. Assuming that the ping was successful, you are almost done. Close the Command Prompt window. Still on the Windows Vista computer (the computer not directly connected to the printer via USB), click Start >> Network. This will open up the "Network" window. Now your computer will search and display everything found on your network. This may take a minute or two so be patient if nothing shows up immediately. Eventually the other computer's name should be displayed (DESKTOP for example). Double click the icon above your other computer's name. This should now display a list of everything on the other computer that is shared over the network. Common things to see here are printers and a "SharedDocs" folder. You should see the HP Photosmart C4480 listed here. It will be listed under whatever name you gave to the printer in step 4 above. Right-click on the icon for the printer and select "Connect".
9. This will open up the "Windows Printer Installation" window and will say "Connecting to PRINTERNAME on COMPUTERNAME". I cannot recall exactly what happens the first time you do this, but it may prompt you for some installation and such. If so, just follow whatever steps it gives you and it should successfully connect to the printer.
10. At this point you are ready to go. You should now be able to open up Microsoft Word or any other program and print to the HP Photosmart C4480 printer from the Windows Vista computer over your network. The Photosmart C4480 will most likely not already be set as your default printer so you will have to select it from the menu on the Print window in the "Printer Name" dropdown menu. A window may open up saying that the computer is connecting to the printer when you do this. After this when you click on Print, your document should be sent over the network to the Photosmart C4480.
11. If you want to set your Photosmart C4480 as your default printer on the computer it is not directly connected to (the Windows Vista computer in my example), click on Start >> Control Panel. This will open up the Control Panel Window. Under the "Hardware and Sound" heading, click on "Printer". This will open the Printers window. You should see the "HP Photosmart 4400 series on COMPUTERNAME" icon in this window. Right-click on the icon and select "Set as Default Printer". After you do this you should see a green and white checkmark near the icon for the printer. The Photosmart C4480 is now set as the default printer on the computer and whenever you print from any application it will automatically have the Photosmart C4480 printer selected.
Hope this all made sense and solves your problems. Please post back and let me know if you get it working or if you have any other questions. I'll be more than happy to try and help!
