Pros & Cons for having multiple AS for the same VRF

Hi,
I just wonder if there is any added value of having mutiple private AS numbers for a single VRF, compared to the usual practise of having one single AS for the entire enterprise network of a give customer. The solution provider is setting a requirement for having 3 AS numbers to connect to the MPLS IP-VPN, one AS for Primary Data Center, and one for Disaster Recovery Center and one for all the 1,000+ branaches.
Appreciate your input.

Hi,
I don't see any benefit for using three different AS number. Only benefit is we need not to use as-override (or allowas-in)
if having three different AS.
I worked for on Provider who was not much strong in processes and was not having automated tool to configure customer links, i mean everything was manual. I see many times that though customer requested to use as-ovveride at provider link
people generally forget to configure the same and at time of testing the usual fault was missing this command at provider end.
But if your provider is standard ( in terms of processes) then You can use only one AS number. This is what i experienced. technically i dont see much benefit in having three different AS.

What's the problem with having multiple users with the same UID?

I've got three edit systems connected to the SAN using open directory off our server.
I want all edit systems to have read/write access to everything created. I don't need to protect anything from any of the systems. With all three systems logged on using the same user, I never have to change permissions.
The other cool thing about this is that Final Cut Pro will let me know if someone else is modifying a project that I have open with the warning:
“The project "projectName" has been modified externally. If another user is working on it, saving will overwrite their changes. Do you still want to save?”
This sounds great, right?
RED FLAG!!!! Apple gives the warning in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302450
"You should not allow two users with the same UID to access an Xsan volume at the same time."
So why is it bad to have two (or more) users with the same UID?
I can see that in some situations it means that you can't prevent people from read/write privileges. But I don't want to restrict privileges.
What am I missing? With all of these warnings, it seems like if I do this my edit systems could all explode or something. Please help me understand the potential ramifications of having three users have the same UID.

Hi Russell,
1) If you have OD set up and "editor" has UID 1111, then when they log in to any machine that's bound to OD as editor, they will get UID 1111. Therefore, there won't be any of these permission errors. This is typically the recommended approach.
2) I assume you mean "You'd prefer to not using open directory?" Whatever the case, OD isn't mandatory with Xsan -- it's just that with multiple user accounts, managing them centrally tends to be easier. For 3 or 4 accounts and 3 or 4 machines maybe it's no big deal. If you go larger, it could get a lot more complicated. That said, if you set it up such that each machine has the exact same set of users (as you said, Mary = UID 502, Fred = UID 503, William = UID 504), then you can do what you want. Mary can log in from multiple machines at the same time, and in general you won't have permissions problems. Of course, if you try and read and write the same file from multiple workstations at the same time, you will get file locking issues, which will prohibit somebody from successfully writing the file.
File locking issues are different from general permissions errors. The former basically says "hey, someone else is editing this file. Therefore I won't let you edit it right now... you can read it if you want though." Permissions means somebody saves it, and Xsan thinks you saved it and own the file, when you really don't.

Pros & Cons of having multiple web applications under one EAR project

Could anybody let me know what are the advantages and disadvantages of having multiple web applications under one single EAR project?

Either this is homework, in which case, do it yourself, or you already think you have some pros for doing this. Share with us

Having multiple CAs share the same private key

We are developing a system which implements an HA cluster across two separate geographical locations.
Each site will have several Windows Server 2012 machines and at least one DC, and we basically have to do a master-master replication between the two sites.
The entire system will be under a single domain.
We will be deploying AD CS since some of our sub-systems need certificates,
but we want to limit the variety certificate to just one (i.e. we want all CAs to issue identical certificates).
To do that, we have to setup AD CS so that all the DCs (both intra-site and inter-site) share the same private key.
Is it possible to have all DCs in a domain to share a single private key?
This article on TechNet suggests that we can do it within a cluster,
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742450%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
but we are not sure if we can do it across different sites.
Any advice and comments are highly appreciated.
Wanko

Hi Wanko,
Its not much clear what you mean by "DCs to have single private key".
However as per the article it indicates that you can use the same (SAN) certificate on both servers (nodes) of the cluster, the certificate SN will be the common clustername.
This is common when you are using clustering or load-balanced system which requires you to have a common name, but individual nodes.
Basically if you want to use single private key for the HA nodes, use the same certificate across all the nodes, that would be generated on the first node(generally). You don't need to issue identical certificates(this will not work as per my understanding)
CA First Node: Export the Cert
On the Welcome page of the CA Backup Wizard, click Next. Select
Private key and CA certificate, and provide a directory name where you want to temporarily store the CA certificate and optionally the key. Click
Next.
Provide a password to protect the CA key, click Next, and then click
Finish.
CA Second Node: Import the Cert
Open the Certificates snap-in for the computer account.
In the console tree, double-click Certificates (Local Computer), and click
Personal.
On the Action menu, click All Tasks, and then click
Import to open the Certificate Import Wizard. Click Next.
Enter the file name of the CA certificate that was previously created on the first node, and click
Next. If you click Browse to find the certificate, change the file type to
Personal Information Exchange (*.pfx,*.p12).
Type the password that you have previously used to protect the private key. The password is required even if there is no private key in the .pfx file. Do not mark this key as exportable. Click
Next.
Place the certificate in the Personal certificate store, and click
Next. To complete the certificate import process, click
Finish, and then click OK.
Secondly I don't get what do you mean by: "we basically have to do a master-master replication between the two sites."
Please note a Cluster can only run a single instance of Certificate Services. A failover cluster of any size can be used to provide a high availability environment for certificate services. However, Microsoft does not support more than one instance
of certificate services on a cluster.

Having multiple nodes with the same name in JTree!!!???

Hi!
I want to be able to have folders or files with the same name in different locations in my JTree. But if I do so the last one always overwrites the previous one.
I have a vector with strings like root\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd.doc, root\aaa\bbb\eee.doc, root\aaa\ccc\fff.doc etc. In this case ccc\ddd.doc out of the first string would disapear.
In this post you can see how I add the nodes:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=54920
Is this because it adds everything in the same level or what? A solution/workaround would be much appreciated.
Tobias

Use this example...
public class TreeDemo {
private JFrame frame;
private JTree tree;
public TreeDemo (JTree tr) throws Exception {
frame=new JFrame();
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
edit=new JEditorPane();
frame.getContentPane().add frame.getContentPane().add(tr,BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.getContentPane().add(new JButton("ok"),BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.pack();
frame.show();
public static void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception
Vector v=new Vector();
v.add(0,"c:\\first\\abc");
v.add(1,"c:\\first\\abc\\word1.doc");
v.add(2,"c:\\first\\abc\\description.doc");
v.add(3,"c:\\first\\def ");
v.add(4,"c:\\first\\der\\tor1.doc");
TreeDemo html = new TreeDemo (createTree(v));
private static JTree createTree(Vector v) {
JTree tree = null;
DefaultMutableTreeNode root = null;
Iterator i = v.iterator();
String subStr;
DefaultMutableTreeNode parent=null;
root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("ROOT");
tree = new JTree(root);
parent=root;
while (i.hasNext()) {
String path = (String)i.next();
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(path,"\\");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
subStr = st.nextToken();
DefaultMutableTreeNode current=findObject(parent,subStr);
if (current==null) {
DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(subStr);
parent.add(node);
parent=node;
else {
parent=current;
parent=root;
return tree;
private static DefaultMutableTreeNode findObject(DefaultMutableTreeNode parent,String value) {
for (int i=0; i<parent.getChildCount(); i++) {
DefaultMutableTreeNode node=(DefaultMutableTreeNode)parent.getChildAt(i);
if (node.getUserObject().equals(value)) {
return node;
return null;

Input XML having multiple values in the same tag

Hi,
In my scenario, my input XML is in the following format...
<Product>
<Site_ID>A1, A2, A3</Site_ID>
<SIte_Name>ABC, XYZ, PQR</Site_Name>
</Product>
A1 corresponds to ABC
A2 corresponds to XYZ and so on...
Is there some way to retrieve values from such a source file and then map it to the target
i.e A1 ABC has to go as one record
A2 XYZ has to go as a second record and so on..
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Karen

using xslt you can retrive Site_ID values and Site_name and then you have to use your own abap logic to split the values.
for example
site_name = 'A1, A2, A3, A4' .
then you can use split site_name at ',' into table <itab>

Multiple consumers of the same Queue

In the past my use of JMS queues has been limited to a single message producer and a single consumer. I am now looking at having multiple copies of the same consumer running for load balancing and failover purposes, and this leads me to what I think is a basic question. BTW, we're running OpenMQ 4.4u1.
I have messages being produced and saved in a single queue.
I then have a consumer program whose logic is something like this:
1. Create session with no transaction and CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE.
2. Receive message from queue.
3. Do some processing with message. Repeat processing attempts multiple times, if needed, until successful.
4. Once processing is successful, acknowledge message.
Assume that I am running multiple copies of the consumer in separate JVMs (or on separate servers, for that matter).
Here are my related questions.
1. If step 3 takes a long time (e.g., several minutes) can I be sure that only one instance of the consumer will receive the message?
2. If a consumer is in step 3 and a catastrophic failure occurs (e.g., the JVM or server it is running on crashes) the message will never be acknowledged, but the session will not be shut down in an orderly fashion, either. Will the message that was received but never acknowledged eventually be delivered to another copy of the consumer?
3. If step three takes a very long time (hours or days, rather than minutes), will the broker misinterpret this as a failure of the consumer and deliver the same message to another one of the consumers?
Thank you for reading and/or responding to this question.
Bill

1. If step 3 takes a long time (e.g., several minutes) can I be sure that only one instance of the consumer will receive the message?A queue message will only be delivered and consumed by 1 consumer.
2. If a consumer is in step 3 and a catastrophic failure occurs (e.g., the JVM or server it is running on crashes) the message will never be acknowledged, but the session will not be shut down in an orderly fashion, either. Will the message that was received but never acknowledged eventually be delivered to another copy of the consumer?Yes.
3. If step three takes a very long time (hours or days, rather than minutes), will the broker misinterpret this as a failure of the consumer and deliver the same message to another one of the consumers?No, as long as the consumer's Session or Connection are intact

Open multiple occurances of the same document

We are running reader 9.1.1 and need to be able to open multipe occurances of the same document. Yes, I know how to open the same document multiple time with <window><new window> the problem with this is editing a form in one window changes it in all windows. I need to ope independant occurances or the same form. Can this be done? The /n switch will not work for this either! Hope somebody has an idea.

Simple solution, yes. Unfortunatly its not that simple... Having multiple copies of the same document posses issues when updating the document. This doucument is updated almost daily and is distibuted to many users across a network... Having to have users open multiple copies of the document creates many logistical and use issues.

Can you avoid multiple clips of the same media in a project

We have 2 suites and we sometimes work together on a common project utilising the same media.
If I want to use a sequence from the other suite I can easily import it.
The problem: it creates another folder with clips that only belong to the imported sequence.
The end result after a few imported sequences is that my final timeline has instances in it that
are from clips belonging to several different folders or bins even though the media is the same.
In summary... is there a way you can avoid having multiple clips of the same media in a project.
Makes for a very messy project when you have finished.
You've got multiple clips with the same name scattered everywhere.
Cheers

Not yet.
I'm kind of hoping this type of media management will be vastly improved in CS6, whose main new 'feature' reeeeeally needs to be outstanding network collaboration with other editors working on the same project.

Multiple formats of the same file

I'm using LR 1.2 and notice that if I have a JPG and either raw or dng of the same file in a folder LR shows one entry in the grid and "filename.dng+jpg" for the filename. If I have all three (jpg, nef, dng) it will only show the dng+jpg and treats the nef like a duplicate in the catalog if I try to import it. So:
1) Which file is being used if you make LR edits and export?
2) If you delete this entry from the catalog and disk - do you loose both files?
3) Is there a setting to show the actual individual files rather than combine them like this?
It's confusing the heck out of me.

Make sure you have "treat jpeg files next to raw files as separate photos" preference checked if you like to see the jpeg as:
1) Lightroom uses the jpeg ONLY for the very first preview. After that, everything is done using the raw file. The jpeg is basically ignored completely as the RAW is considered the original. You really only need the nef or dng file.
2) Yes
3) Yes, you have to import using the preference noted above. In this case you'll get multiple entries for the same picture but with different original files.
Lastly, for Lightroom there is no real difference between the nef and the dng as the data in it is the same. If both are present it will probably use just the dng but I have never tried it. Having multiple files with the same filename but different extension is generally a recipe for disaster not just in Lightroom.

Multiple classes in the same source file

I'm not sure what this is called, having multiple classes in the same source file. At first I thought it ws called subclassing but then I googled it and found that subclasses are just derived classes. Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
public class A {
class B {
class C {
}So first of all, what is having multiple classes in the same source file called?
Secondly, what are the advantages/disadvantages of this?
Thirdly, can you have a class completely WITHIN a class (same source file but inside the class not outside) and what are the advantages/disadvantages of this?

Advantage: You can reduce the number of source files specialy when your secondry classes are used only in the public class of the file.
Disadvantage: Normaly it make things more clear if we have one-to-one correspondance of class and source files. This make things easy when you want to find the java file of a perticuler class file. Also If you later wanted to create a seperate public class with a same name as one of those secondry classes you got lots of changes to do.
You can avoid this by creating them as nested classes
ex:-
public class MyPublicClass{
private static class MyInnerClass{
}this way the inner class will create a class file with name "MyPublicClass$MyInnerClass.class" instead of just "MyInnerClass.class"
And also if you declare the inner class as public you can access them from out side

HT204053 What are the pros and cons of 1) choosing to use the SAME Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or 2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides

All is in the title, so I repeat it below with a better identation.
What are the pros and cons of
1) choosing to use the SAME
Apple ID for iCloud services on one side, and
purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore, on the other side; or
2) to have and use two separate Apple Ids for these "two sides"?
P.S.
I have loads and loads of free podcasts in iTunes in my iMac, that are certainly more thant the 5 gigas the iCloud provides for free, so I don't want those to go to the cloud. But this is perhaps a different question...
Also need to mention that I have itunes on a mac, a pc and an iphone.
Sorry to look so silly with this question, but I don't get the "big picture".

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

I'm going to get the new iPhone 5S soon. I also have an iPad. I'm wondering is it best for each device to have the same Apple ID or should each device have a different ID? Pros? Cons? It seems like there is a conflict using iCloud for backup between the 2

Basically wondering if multiple devices should share the same ID or each to get their own. Such as, how it affects Facetime, backups to iCloud, etc. Thanks. Sorry for the long title.

Hi matrixxzero,
In my opinion, you want to use the same Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID on both devices. That is exactly what iCloud is designed for - to keep devices with the same Apple ID in sync. Your Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks, Notes, Photo Stream photos, and Documents will all be kept in sync if you have those options set up on both devices under Settings>iCloud.
Unless you have some reason to not want to have the same information on both devices, then going with a single ID on both is the way to go.
Cheers,

Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.
