Problems getting ODBC SQL Interface to work for Essbase 11.1.1.3

Hi folks.
We're running Essbase 11.1.1.3 on Linux (32 bit) and I want to use the ODBC SQL Interface to load fact data.
We have run the SQL Interface install .sh script successfully, then restarted the Essbase agent, and have modified the ODBC.ini file to use the Oracle Wire Protocol driver.
I enter the SQL query in the rule Data Prep Editor in EAS (File | Open SQL) and when I hit "OK/Retrieve" I get the error "Failed to Establish Connection with SQL Database Server."
The application log file says:
ODBC Layer Error: [S1000] ==> [[DataDirect][ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol driver]TNS-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified]
[Wed Oct 6 15:31:26 2010]Local/appx/Plan1/username/Info(1021014)

Any suggestions?

Have you followed the info here :- How to define a relational data source in (odbc.ini) V11 Essbase?
You don't need to run Inst-SQL.sh

Problem getting subsonic web interface to work

I posted this in the subsonic forums and have not received any reply.
I had Subsonic running nicely on Debian, but I have now switched my server OS to Arch. I installed the package in the AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35954), which is based on the standalone version of subsonic, but I have not been able to connect to the web interface once the server is started.
The variables in subsonic.sh look like this:
SUBSONIC_HOME=/var/subsonic
SUBSONIC_HOST=127.0.0.1
SUBSONIC_PORT=4040
SUBSONIC_HTTPS_PORT=4041
SUBSONIC_CONTEXT_PATH=/

SUBSONIC_DEFAULT_MUSIC_FOLDER=/var/subsonic/music
SUBSONIC_DEFAULT_PODCAST_FOLDER=/var/subsonic/podcasts
SUBSONIC_DEFAULT_PLAYLIST_FOLDER=/var/subsonic/playlists
I have what I believe are suitable permissions on all of the needed folders:

When I run the subsonic.sh script, I get this:

But 'lsof -i' shows no ports are actually open for subsonic and when I try to go to the server on port 4040 in a browser, it won't load the page. I can't access the web interface either on the server itself or on my laptop. I have also tried the secure port with no joy.
I have added 'java: ALL' and 'subsonic: ALL' lines to hosts.allow. Not sure whether or not this is necessary.

Problems getting vCAC 6.2 to work correctly. Security related.

Hi Everyone,
I am setting up a quick n dirty VCAC 6.2 test lab and am hitting a problem that has been annoying me for a good few days and I hope someone can help. To give a bit of background I did the following to set up the infrastructure (above and beyond having a working vCenter 6 installation)
Installed a SQL 2014 standalone box and IAAS box using Window 2012 R2
Installed the authentication appliance.
Installed the VRA appliance from OVF
Installed the Orchestrator appliance
All were installed from latest available on VMwares website. I then installed the pre req script to configure the IAAS pre reqs. Then installation went through ok (Although it took a while ) The problem is when I come to login I keep getting errors about connection broken/resets.
Looking in the IAAS event viewer I get the following error:
An TLS 1.2 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server. The SSL connection request has failed.
I understand that the issue is more or less related to the fact that the encryption type is not supported. So my question is.. What is the easy and straight forward to fix this ? Crypto functions are not my forte!

Stuart

Hi,
I also have a rt73 chip - edimax EW-7318UG.
I used this package from aur :
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
and now I have the module. Maybe it will work for you as well.
My problem seems to be setting up the interface. I can set it up to run manually - using ifconfig and iwconfig but it seems I can't load the network on startup. I keep getting this response form the startup network script :
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device rausb0 ; Network is down.
I have to run manually each time :
[root@fort etc]# ifconfig rausb0 up
[root@fort etc]# iwconfig rausb0 essid mikahome
[root@fort etc]# dhcpcd rausb0
Anyone knows if this can be automated?

Still does not work. I have allow MSDSTC in my firewall list.
Hi dudskie,
Have you try to use DTCTester or DTCPing to verify MSDTC functionality over the network? Please refer to the following article:
Troubleshooting Problems with MSDTC:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561924.aspx
Use the DTCTester utility to verify transaction support between two computers if SQL Server is installed on one of the computers. The DTCTester utility uses ODBC to verify transaction support against a SQL Server database. For more information about
DTCTester see How to Use DTCTester Tool.
Use DTCPing to verify transaction support between two computers if SQL Server is not installed on either computer. The DTCPing tool must be run on both the client and server computer and is a good alternative to the DTCTester utility when SQL Server
is not installed on either computer. For more information about DTCPing, see
How to troubleshoot MS DTC firewall issues.

Hope this helps.

Problem getting RESTful web service reference working with header value

Hi,
I posted this on Apex Listener forum but since I am not sure problem is with my Application RESTful web service reference or a Listener issue, I am posting here as well:
I am on Apex 4.2.2 and Listener 2.1 and the listener is on WEblogic.
I succeeded to get a RESTful web service working in an application with no header to obtain a full set of data. The data set is very large, so I am now just trying to set up a web service to get a set of data based on a student ID.
I followed the examples shown in the RESTful web service module of SQL Workshop and set up a handler of this type:
https://ourweblogicserver/apex/bnr/ace/students/course_grades/{stid}
The test for this handler succeeded both for JSON output and CSV output in the Workshop test environment.
However, when I try it from a Web Service Reference that I created for my application following what looked like the same approach used on the example video, I get NO data back. If I put a 'stid' directly into a URL of a web browser and do the basic authentication I get the data!!
This is what I have for the Web service reference:
https://ourweblogicserver/apex/bnr/ace/students/course_grades/{stid}
Basic auth set to Yes -- and this is working -- I am able to authenticate
HTTP method Get
output format Text
no response Xpath
no response namespace
defaults for new record and parameter delimiter
NO REST input parameters
Output set for all the fields in the data set queried (same set of data as in my rest service which does not have any http header)
REST HTTP Header : Name stid
I there something I am missing. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this further.
I also tried exactly following the example shown on the Oracle Video for RESTFul web services at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkCvd6P8_OU
and I can't get the 2nd example to work either-- where the header has the bind variable parameter.
Pat

I was able to resolve the problem -- in the latest version of the RESTful web service that I created, I had left out the creation of the Header Parameter bind variable. Once I did that everything works fine!! I was able to test in the application and got the record of an individual student.
Thanks,
PM

Problems getting rt73 wireless dongles to work

Wireless USB: Belkin F5D7050 Ver. 3000 (rt73 chipset)
Wireless USB: D-Link DWL-G122 Rev. C1 (rt73 chipset)
Router: Linksys WRT54G (B+G Channel 8 DHCP Enabled WPA TKIP)
Kernel: 2.6.20-ARCH
CPU: Athlon XP 2200+ 1.8ghz
At the moment I have the Belkin device working fine under the latest ndiswrapper for a certain amount of time until websites will stop resolving after a while with the only way to fix it being to reboot or go downstairs and reset the router. I don't care too much which dongle I get working although I would prefer the Belkin since I already have that working in Windows. Obviously I'm only plugging them in one at a time. I've tried multiple combinations in my resolv.conf and followed numerous guides to make sure my network profiles and wpa_supplicant are set up right although I can post them for you to check. I couldn't find a working .sys file for the D-Link device under ndiswrapper so basically what I am trying to say is ndiswrapper is out of the question and need to get native drivers working. They are both editions which have an rt73 chipset even though some devices with the same model use 2500. I looked it up and the Ubuntu wiki incidentally uses both these devices as an example so I know for sure that they should work with RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6 tar.
I have followed the steps in the Arch Wiki guide carefully. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RT73_Wireless
However when I cd to the module directory after making the required modifications and do a make as root I get errors which is disappointing as by all accounts I have read so far it should work. I get errors compiling the RT73_CVS_Daily package as well but I think that was something to do with incompatibility with SMP and the need for a kernel recompile. The Arch Wiki method seems my best bet still. Here is the error I am getting on compilation anyway:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-ARCH/build SUBDIRS=/home/joe/unsorted/drivers/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6/Module modules

What could this mean? Looking over it I've just spotted a permission denied in there even though I'm running it as root so now I'm wondering if there is some sort of resource conflict because ndiswrapper is still loaded in memory. I really don't understand why this wouldn't work. This is way above my skills so please help.

Problem getting a wireless connection to work

Well after some enormous help from ArchForum - i managed to get my new laptop's netcard running.
Its a IBM X60S with the intel Chipset. but not I'm trying to get connection to my networks around me - But It will not work.
Normally i have used the KDE WIFImanager to do this - But now its just blinks off on constantly - súddenly its gonbe and then its back - I have ONCE been able to connect to the network - But didn' t get an IP adress.
So since is gonna to be my work computer - I would really like to get this working as quicly as possible but I do not know how - and cannot see the problem. So here I go. I using IPW3945 and added it to rc.conf Modules= IPW3945 - and daemons IPW3945d (But should this evt. be before or after network
I didn' t have anything else speciel in the rc.conf and can scan and find my network - but not able to connect to it or anything ...
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
eth2="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth2)
But not what so ever normally I hvae and 128bWEP crypt on the network - BUT do an iwlist eth2 keys shows only 40 & 104bits?? Isn't it strange??
eth2 2 key sizes : 40, 104bits
4 keys available :
[1]: 9096-4A0E-3965-137A-CACB-DEC6-9D (104 bits)
[2]: off
[3]: off
[4]: off
Current Transmit Key: [1]
Security mode:open
the funny thing in dmesg:

The funny part - i'm sitting with a IBM R51 rigth next to and all works fine here - and the signal is ultimativ and no problem getting an IPadress or anything.
EDIT: I have now several times getting connected to the network - but not at any times been able to get an IPaddress - even though both machines have the same setup - and should get the IPaddress from the router. The old IBM gets it - but not the X60s.
It seems like the asking for the DHCP - don't get on at all - In the routers log I cannot see if the card is asking for an IP - And should mean that it happend all the way.
Hopefully someone can help me further on with this ??? So than I'm able to cone further with this machine

Well -
Is there difference between some off the networks ??
I mean in my Router thereś 3 options:
64 - 128 -256 Bits crypto
But with IPW3945 there only 2 :
40 - 104 Bits.
So whats the difference and can you make something difference ? and is it possible to connect in other way to the accesspoints.
Normally on each and every else IBM i have used IPW2200 and works just normally with kde WIFI manager.
The only way i can connet to the accesspoint is without any WEP and with an static IP ???
This cannot be the way!!!!

Problem with validateRegExp (problem with IE and chrome but works for firefox)

Hi everyone,
I have a simple af:inputText with an af:validateRegExp in it with pattern "([^$%# ]+([ ]*[^$%# ]+)*)$".
Now when I enter a very big value in this inputText and finally add a space to it, it gives a proper validation exception in Mozilla FireFox.
But when I run the same thing in IE/ Chrome the screen hangs and after some time page not responding exception comes. What it is observed in chrome is that after a very long time it gives the proper validation exception even if page not responding error has come earlier. Has anyone faced such kind of problem earlier? Is there any solution for this?
{code}
<af:inputText label="Label 1"
                      binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_datePOC.it1}"
                      id="it1" maximumLength="120">
          <af:validateRegExp pattern="([^$%# ]+([ ]*[^$%# ]+)*)$"/>
        </af:inputText>
{code}

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your reply. I tried checking this pattern in java as well using an validator, in that case the thread got sucked for a bigger length string. So I guess the problem is with expression only. But I dont get one thing, if the problem would have been with expression it shouldnt have worked for smaller length string. But in this case it is working fine with a smaller length string.

SQL*Plus assignment works for 8i but not 9i

We have scripts that connect to each database on the box and perform database tasks nightly. The scripts first set the environment then connects to each database with SQL*Plus. This works for 8i but fails in the recently created 9i environment.
Because the SQL*Plus connection appears in many areas in the scripts, we assign the following connection string to a variable:
SQLPLUS="/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba'"
Export SQLPLUS
echo "$SQLPLUS"
(This echo out correctly: /usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba')
It fails when the script calls the assigned variable:
$SQLPLUS <<-EOF
with the following error:
Usage: SQLPLUS [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
where <option> ::= -H | -V | [ [-L] [-M <o>] [-R <n>] [-S] ]
<logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_string>] | / | /NOLOG
<start> ::= @<URI>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
"-H" displays the SQL*Plus version banner and usage syntax
"-V" displays the SQL*Plus version banner
"-L" attempts log on just once
"-M <o>" uses HTML markup options <o>
"-R <n>" uses restricted mode <n>
"-S" uses silent mode
However, if I remove the SQLPLUS variable assignment and changed all occurrence of
$SQLPLUS <<-EOF to
/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba' <<-EOF
Then the script runs successfully. But this solution is cumbersome.
Any ideas as to how to have the script work with assigning the SQLPLUS variable????
Any help is appreciated

I has an immediate suspicion it might be related to the issue
mentioned in
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/sub_var2.html#2_7
but this proved wrong: the SP2-306 still occurs in the latest
SQL*Plus.
I wonder what version of 8i you had working? With an old SQL*Plus
8.1.7.0 my connection failed the same as in 9.2 and 10i.
My solution was to do:
SQLPLUS='sqlplus -s'
UNPW='/ as sysdba'
$SQLPLUS "$UNPW" <<EOF
EOFThis worked in 9.2.0.5, 10.1.0.2 and 8.1.7.0.
One common security risk on UNIX remains: putting the username and
password on the command line. On some systems a "ps" command will
show the password to any user. If OS authentication cannot be used
for connection, perhaps putting the username/password in the SQL
script may be more secure?
A final note is that in SQL*Plus 10g, no quotes are needed around
AS SYSDBA, i.e.
sqlplus / as sysdba works from the OS prompt, whereas in 9.2 you need to do

Holding down a key to get accent choices has quit working for me.

It was working day before yesterday. In the interests of complete information, it no longer works for me at all. Not in Pages, Text Edit, Mail, Safari, or Notes. Is there a system wide master switch? The keyboard commands do work. Option+ e then e gives me é, which is what I want, and turning on the French keyboard works, but what happened to the hold down option?
Thanks, Owen

This Terminal command will activate the feature of holding down the e key to get this menu:
In the Terminal enter
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true
followed by the Enter or Return key.
The downside is that disables the ability to hold down those particular keys for multiple entires.

Problems! MS SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC.

In Dos-promt ill got only this message: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
What is wrong and is there someone that can help me out?
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC and set the path like this in the system, advance, environment variable:
.;D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msbase.jar;D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msutil.jar;D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\mssqlserver.jar
This is the source code i use to test the connection:
import java.sql.*;
public class Exercise2_1 {
static String driver = ("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
static String url= "jdbc:microsoft:MinTest;ah;modeerf";//sqlserver://H:1433;user=ah;password=modeerf";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
     Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
     System.out.println("Loaded driver");
     Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
     System.out.println("Connected to database");
     conn.close();
     System.out.println("Closed connection");
catch (Throwable e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage()); }

You printed the error message associated with the exception but didn't print the type of the exception. com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver was probably a ClassNotFoundException meaning that the VM couldn't find the jars.
You say you put the jars in the path. They should actually be in the class path. Either set the CLASSPATH environment variable or pass it in to the Java VM via the -cp option.
One more thing. Seeing as the paths that you installed the JDBC driver into contain spaces you may need to put quotes around the path names or use the MSDOS short names for those directories.

Problem getting laserjet 3055 scanner to work

I run windows XP with service pack 3. I recently bought a second hand laserjet 3055. I downloaded the latest drivers from the hp website and it duly installed them. Printer works fine. But my scanning software will not work with the scanner. When I try pressing the scan button it says waiting for PC. Scan to button says not set up on PC. My scanning software recognises the scanner but it will not connect. Any ideas?.... Help!

I am havign huge problems getting itunes 11.1.4 working on my windows 7 laptop. I have run itunes for some years, and regularly updated it when prompted. I have followed many of the suggestions e.g. uninstalling reinstalling, etc

I have spent hours trying to get itunes working on my laptop.
The only functinoality I crave is to be able to get pictures off my iphone 5 (which has the latest ios installed.), as almost all other functinoality of itunes I find painful beyond belief. It has the worst ergonomics I think of any software I have ever used, which is bizarely at odds with the mobile decvices, which by and large work quite nicely (indeed, why I bought them!)
My laptop runs windows 7. It has all the latest microsoft updates installed (I am religious about this: it always has had.)
I have run itunes on this machine for some years, regularly updating when I am prompted to.
A few days back i was prompted to update to 11.1.4
It failed to install badly. whatever I try at some point during the install process the installer just hangs, or never terminates.
All communication between computer and iphone functionality has been lost.
Nothing eles on my machine is behaving oddly. slowly etc. it is only apple stuff that isn't working.
I googled and found a lot of recurring themes on apple forums:
So far I have tried:
uninstalling / reinstalling. (hangs during installation).
Restarting the machine between uninstall and reinstall.
Searching and removing any directories/ contents related to apple, after the uninstall, prior to machine reboot.
I have even used iobit uninstaller, as removing apple software as you know is almost impossible (ever tried disabbling the quicktime updater that runs at startup? it's like a virus !!)
I have removed all apple software incl quicktime.
I have tried the microsoft software installer fixit link often posted to.
i have tried unpacking the apple installation file, using the latest version of winrar, to try installing one at a time.
I have found the installation is very very very slow (it looks as though it hangs, but i leave it running in the background, after 15-20 minutes, the status starts advancing for example). so far I have managed to install the first few components up to applesoftware update,msi, and they seem to need to be run multiple times.
(this last one took about 40 minutes).
I have been very careful to install / uninstall the software components int eh "prescribed" order.
I have tried each step multiple times, rebooting the machine numerous times, cleaning temp folders (with ccleaner) etc.
I ave tried installing when my virus checker AVG is disabled.
(i have virus checked the machine with AVG and malware bytes, I have the latest microsft security essential updates installed.)
I ahve tried stopping apple services (as suggested in one of the apple forum posts).
As you can gather I'm seriously tearing my hair out.
I presume there is some kind of generic bug in this installer: as a friend had exactly the same problem on sunday night, with a different machine, running windows 7, and a couple of her colleagues at work has had the self same problem over the weekend, though none of them seem to have gone to the lengths I have yet !
I tried doing a system restore, but my machine seems to have lunched all previous system restore points, so I can't . Arrrrrgggg !
Is an older version of itunes available so i can install that instead ?
What should I do next ?
