Provisioning Manager Business Edition on Linux

Has anyone successfully installed and configured the Linux Version of Provisioning manager that came with the BE6000 8.6 bundle?
I can get the IP/Network config done using the Quick Start Guide, but then the guide references logging in with admin, and doing root_enable, then setup SSL Certificate. Anybody knows what the missing/correct steps are to get this up and running.
Thanks.

Thanks Andrew - fortunately I didn't have to re-install. Just changed the last 6 digits of the MAC to 11:11:11 and the web interface loads.
The documentation I have been using for this install is lacking, especially for a non-Linux head like myself.

Redundancy for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 8.0.

Hi,
Is there redundancy for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 8.0.
Can I deploy more than one server at a site for redundancy?
Thanks
Mudassir

No. UCM-BE is a single-server solution. You can use CME in SRST mode for survivability if the server is offline.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition

Hi,
As per my understanding this is only one server solution and you can not have more than one server i.e no sub only Pub. Is this correct?
Thanks
Ati

Hi Ati,
You are most correct :) This is is "single server" solution for small to medium sized businesses up to 500 users. It comes packaged with Unity Connection for Voicemail.
Here is a clip;
"Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition is an easy-to-manage solution that combines voice, video, mobility, and messaging on a single server to simplify system administration and reduce hardware and operating expenses. This solution provides cost-effective deployment options for medium-sized organizations with smaller IT staffs that require all the advanced capabilities of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly Cisco Unified CallManager), Cisco Unity Connection, Cisco Unified Mobility (formerly Cisco Unified MobilityManager), and integrated management on a single server to expedite migration to unified communications."
From this good doc;

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 6000

Hello there,
I have been scouring everywhere for SRND and how this actually works. I know from the past that CUCMBE as an appliance worked alone, not Pub and Sub as the normal CUCM deployment, however hass this changed on the CUCMBE 6K on ESXi?
Quesion are as above, and
If this is a standalone i.e. a Publisher, when deployed on 2 x ESXi Servers, the app is balanced over the two virtual machines?
If it is PUB/SUB set up, then again balance them across the two VM Servers, or one in each?
Unity, is this embedded in CUCMBE 6K as it used to be, or is it a "dumbed" down model which would be a standalone appliance?
Any pointers would be great!
Cheers.

B6K is merely a marketing term with some bundled pricing, it is up to 5 UC applications loaded on a UCS C-series server, you can have 1 or 2 CUCM servers, UCXN, CER, UCCX, Provisioning Manger. If you need more you can get 2 B6Ks and split the load across them.

Migration Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1 to Cisco Small Business Edition 5000

Hello,
I want to know two things:
1) I want to know if I have 1000 dlu. how many licenses would be in the new licenses for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business edtition? Because i have Cisco Ip Communicator, Cisco Personal Communicator, Video Advantage and unified Messaging.
2)To migrate data from my current CUCM what tool should I use? DMA?
Thanks

I can't assist on #1 but #2 is pretty much a regular upgrade. The only CUCMBE before having the 3 flavors we have now, has turned into the 5K option.
There's no DMA as that's from Windows to Linux. It's either DRS (EXACT same source and destination version) or BAT.

Business Edition 6K Solution request

8Hi, guys
I have a doubt related to a solution that I want to deploy
Here is the scenario.
My company wants to offer services...communications services, and we are thinking a lot about the price of the equipments.
So, in order to avoid the clients to buy the entire solution, we are thinking about deploy a SINGLE solution on my office, and, as we have fiber connectivity to the customers, we would ONLY deploy at their end endpoints and PoE Switches (if needed).
So we are thinking about a single appliance and it is: Business Edition 6000 that is a single UCS where all communications are integrated.
Is this solution affordable for this issue??
How we can we sepate the traffic from distinct customers?
As BE6K comes with 1000 user licenses, is it possible to do somthing like this:
From 1-100 my office
From 101-500 customer A
From 501-900 customer B
From 901-1000 customer C
And, as configure partitions and CSS's in order to avoid that they (the customers) call each other and at the end, send to them only the Billing for EXTERNAL CALLS only.
Any help on this?
Regards
Edson Vuma

Business Edition 6000 is a packaged solution that consists of the following foundational elements:
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
IM & Presence
Cisco Unity® Connection
Cisco Prime Provisioning
Cisco UC Virtualization Hypervisor
Cisco Unified Computing System C200 M2/C220 M3 Rack-mount server.
Following applications can be optionally added to Cisco Business Edition 6000 solution.
Cisco Unified Contact Center Express
Cisco Unified Attendant Consoles
Cisco Emergency Responder
Cisco Telepresence Video Communication Server (Supported only with UCS C220 M3)
Cisco Paging Server

This document outlines instructions how to install Oracle XE under Ubuntu 11.10.
Ubuntu or Debian based Linux is not on the list of supported operation systems according to the Oracle documentation at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18802/toc.htm. You may want to consider virtualization software like Oracle Virtualbox and install Oracle Enterprise Linux as a free and professional alternative to installing XE under Ubuntu. You can also download pre-build virtual machines that include Oracle XE. You can browse http://otn.oracle.com/community/developer-vm for more information.

h4. 11) History
h4. 12) References
h2. 1) Install Linux Ubuntu
The following assumes you have installed Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop Edition for AMD 64-bit, or upgraded from a previous version. Keep in mind that Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition is only available for 64-bit architecture. It is not necessarily a requirement, but I would not bother to install Oracle 11gR2 XE on a system with less than 2 GB of RAM installed. You can download Ubuntu for free at: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu and install it using the default settings provided.
You can apply the latest OS patch-sets by clicking the power button icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen and selecting "Updates available..."
h2. 2) Remote Terminal
You will need command line access to perform the installation tasks. Select the top "Dash Home" button of the Unity toolbar and enter the word "terminal", or use CTRL-ALT-t. If you prefer to open a remote terminal session use SSH. Ubuntu does not come with a secure shell login by default. To install it, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install openssh-serverYou cannot login as root unless you set a root password using the "sudo passwd root" command. However, you can get root user access using the "sudo" command, which requires only to re-enter the password of your personal account. Access to "sudo" is controlled by the /etc/sudoers file.
The best way to establish a remote command line session as root is to login with your personal account, e.g.: ssh [email protected], and then type "sudo su -" to become root, or use "sudo <command>" to execute individual commands. If your account does not have "sudo" access you can login as root using "su - root", but will need to know the root password.
h2. 3) Install Additional Software
Oracle 11g Express Edition requires additional software that is not installed by default:
sudo apt-get install alien libaio1 unixodbch2. 4) Managing Swap Space
Oracle demands that the minimum swap space for Oracle Database XE is 2 GB (2095100 KB) or twice the size of RAM, whichever is lesser. Enter the following shell command to verify your swap space:
cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i swap
SwapCached:            0 kB
SwapTotal:       2095100 kB
SwapFree:        2095100 kBYou can increase available swap space by using a swap file as long as disk space permits. The advantage of a swap file versus a swap partition is flexible space management because you can add or delete swap space on demand as necessary. The following will create and enable an additional 1 GB swap file at system startup, located in the /home directory:
Login as root:
sudo su -Enter the following commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
mkswap /home/swapfile
swapon /home/swapfile
swapon -aCreate a backup of the original "fstab" file and add the new swap file:
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup_`date +%N`
echo '/home/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstabExit from root and verify the new swap space:
exit
swapon -s
Filename                    Type          Size     Used     Priority
/dev/sda5                               partition     2095100     0     -1
/home/swapfile                          file          1048572     0     -2Swap space is not a substitute for installed RAM. Swap space is a safeguard that allows the system to move idle processes to disk before the OOM killer will begin to terminate processes in order to free up enough real memory to keep the system operational. The general rule for sizing the swap space depends on the size of installed RAM. If your system has less then 4 GB of RAM the swap space should usually be at least twice this size. If you have more than 8 GB of RAM installed you may consider to use an equal size as swap space. The more RAM you have installed, the less likely you are going to run into memory starvation, and the less likely you are going to need swap space, unless you have a bad process.
h2. 5) Modify Kernel Parameters
Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition requires the following Kernel parameters. Enter the commands exactly as shown:
Login as root:
sudo su -Cut & paste the following directly into a command shell (not a text editor):
cat > /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf <<-EOF
# Oracle 11g XE kernel parameters
fs.file-max=6815744
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=9000 65500
kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
# kernel.shmmax=429496729
kernel.shmmax=107374183
EOFLoad and verify the new kernel parameters:
service procps start
sudo sysctl -q fs.file-max
sudo sysctl -q kernel.shmmax
sudo sysctl -q net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range
sudo sysctl -q kernel.sem The SHMMAX kernel parameter defines the upper memory limit of a process. It is a safeguard to stop a bad process from using all memory and causing RAM starvation. The Linux default is 32 MB. The official Oracle XE installation documentation suggests a value of 4 GB -1 bytes (429496729). Since Oracle 11g XE has a 1 GB memory limit, a smaller footprint will be a better safeguard for the complete system. Setting the SHMMAX parameter to 107374183 will be sufficient.
h2. 6) Oracle Home Directory
At the time of this writing, Enterprise Linux 6 is not supported for Oracle database yet. It is therefore not possible to confirm Oracle ext4 filesystem compatibility, which is default in Ubuntu 11. According to various information, ext4 may cause a performance problem for Oracle 11g database. The following will show you how to add a ext3 partition to your existing setup.
h3. 6.a) Resize the Root Partition
Provided you have sufficient free disk space, you should be able to resize the root partition to create an extra ext3 filesystem. Considering the 11 GB user datafile limit of the Express Edition, 18 GB should be more than enough.
You can use the free Gparted Live CD to shrink your startup volume. Gparted downloads are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable. When burning the CD, pay attention to burn the raw .iso image and not the possibly "mounted" image. If you are using a virtual machine like Oracle Virtualbox, you can mount the .iso image directly. There are going to be a few prompts when the system starts from the CD, but you can press Return to accept the defaults.
When the Gparted window appears:
- Select your ext4 root partition, usually /dev/sda1
- Select the "Resize/Move" button from the toolbar.
- Enter 18000 into the "Free space following" field and press the Return key.
Be careful not not change the start of the partition!
- Click the "Resize/Move" of the dialog and then then the "Apply" toolbar button.
The process may take several minutes - do not abandon it!
- Select the new unallocated free space of ~ 18 GB and push the "New" button.
- Set the file system to "ext3" and label it "oraclexe" and click the "Add" button.
Be sure to label it oraclexe, otherwise the follow-up instructions will fail.
- Finally select "Apply from the toolbar to apply the changes.
- Quit "Gparted", select "Exit" from the desktop and choose "Reboot" to restart the system.
{code}
After the system has restarted, open a terminal command shell.
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Backup "fstab" and add the UUID of the partition. The "tr" command remove the quotes:
{code}
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_`date +%N`
uuid=`blkid | grep oraclexe | awk '{print $3}'`
uuid=`echo $uuid | tr -d '\042'`
echo $uuid
echo "$uuid /u01 ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1" >> /etc/fstab
{code}
The UUID is a unique number and should look similar to:
{code}
UUID=d1db753e-b5dd-4a4c-a61e-259c69867b58
{code}
Restart the system:
{code}
reboot
{code}
Verify the success:
{code}
df -h /u01
{code}
h3. 6.b) Setup External Storage
If you prefer to setup an external drive to install Oracle XE, beware that it can be a fatal mistake to make an entry in /etc/fstab to automount your external storage device. An unavailable device in /etc/fstab will prevent a system startup and prompt for appropriate actions at the console.
The following is an example of how to prepare an external storage device to be used for Oracle 11g, including a script to automatically mount an external drive at system startup without the disadvantages of /etc/fstab. The script will also take into consideration that a device name might shift if you attach additional devices.
To find out which USB devices are connected:
{code}
sudo parted -l
{code}
Look for the device that matches your USB storage. For example: /dev/sdb1
{code}
Model: USB 2.0 Flash Disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 2064MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start   End     Size    File system Name     Flags
1      20.5kB 1929MB 1929MB hfs+         mystick
{code}
Initialize the device using ext3 filesystem - this will erase all data. The "-c" option will check for bad blocks (read-only), "-L" is the volume label:
{code}
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
sudo mkfs.ext3 -c -L oraclexe /dev/sdb1
{code}
Install the pmount distribution package:
{code}
sudo apt-get install pmount
{code}
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Cut & paste the following into the command prompt (not a text editor):
{code}
cat > /etc/init.d/oracle-mount <<-EOF
#! /bin/sh

h2. 7) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
Oracle 11gR2 XE under Ubuntu 11.10 will result in "ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not support on this system" either at Oracle database startup or during the initial installation. Ubuntu 11.10 uses a new version of the "systemd" system and session manager and has migrated away from /dev/shm and other common directories in favor of /run.
There are several ways how to address the problem. You can either enable /dev/shm shared memory, or change the default memory management of Oracle 11g from AMM (Automatic Memory Management) to ASMM (Automatic Shared Memory Management) as it was in used the previous 10g version. Since AMM is one of the new features of 11g, the following will show you how to make to make AMM work.

h2. 8) Installing Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition
The final release version of Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition can be downloaded for free at http://otn.oracle.com/database/express-edition/downloads. The software should automatically downloaded into the "Downloads" folder of your home directory.
Enter the following commands to unpack the installer:
{code}
cd ~/Downloads
unzip oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
{code}
The Debian Linux based package management of Ubuntu is not compatible with the Red Hat package manager. The Oracle installer needs to be converted using the following commands:
{code}
cd ~/Downloads/Disk1
sudo alien --to-deb --scripts oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
(This may take a few minutes)
rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
{code}
The following needs to be set for compatibility:
{code}
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
sudo mkdir /var/lock/subsys
{code}
Ubuntu uses different tools to manage services and system startup scripts. The "chkconfig" tool required by the Oracle installer is not available in Ubuntu. The following will create a file to simulate the "chkconfig" tool.
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Copy & paste the following *directly* into the command prompt to create a file:
{code}
cat > /sbin/chkconfig <<-EOF
#!/bin/bash

sudo dpkg --install ./oracle-xe_11.2.0-2_amd64.deb
(This may take a couple of minutes)
{code}
Run the configuration script to create (clone) the database and follow the screen. Accept the default answers, including "y" to startup the database automatically, or modify as required.
{code}
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
(This can take a few minutes - the installation completed successfully.)
{code}
To verify success, the procedure should end showing:
{code}
Starting Oracle Net Listener...Done
Configuring database...Done
Starting Oracle Database 11g Express Edition instance...Done
Installation completed successfully.
{code}
Set a password for the Oracle account:
{code}
sudo passwd oracle
{code}
h2. 9) Post-Installation
In order to use sqlplus and other tools, the Oracle account requires specific environment variables. The following will set these variables automatically at every Oracle login:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Copy the default account skeleton files and add the Oracle env script to .profile:
{code}
cp /etc/skel/.bash_logout ./
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ./
cp /etc/skel/.profile ./
echo "" >>./.profile
echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
{code}
By default, the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface is only available at the local server, but not remotely. The following will enable remote logins:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and execute the following:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);
exit
{code}
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/admin.112/e18585/toc.htm for more information.
h3. a) Unity desktop configurations
The Oracle XE menu under the previous Gnome Classic desktop shows several useful scripts to backup the database, start and stop the database, etc. Under the Unity based desktop this menu is not available. You can either switch to the Gnome Classic desktop as outlined in chapter 2, or perform the following steps to modify and copy the scripts as outlined below. The start and stop database scripts will also be modified to perform a progress feedback.
Login as user root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Convert desktop files:
{code}
cd /usr/share/applications
sed -i 's/Categories.*/Categories=Database;Office;Development;/g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/MultipleArgs/X-MultipleArgs/g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/MimeType.*/MimeType=application\/x-database/g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/.png//g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-startdb.desktop
sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-stopdb.desktop
{code}
Exit root:
{code}
exit
{code}
Login as user Oracle:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Modify database start and stop scripts:
{code}
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/scripts
cp startdb.sh start.sh_orig
cp stopdb.sh stopdb.sh_orig
sed -i 's/>.*//g' startdb.sh
sed -i 's/>.*//g' stopdb.sh
{code}
You will need SYSDBA privileges and set Oracle environment variables in order to use your regular user account.
Login to your regular user account:
{code}
su - dude
{code}
Enter the folowing command:
{code}
sudo usermod -a -G dba dude
{code}
Then update your profile to automatically set the necessary Oracle environment variables:
{code}
echo "" >>./.profile
echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
{code}
Update your Desktop folder to contain useful Oracle XE scripts:
{code}
cp /usr/share/applications/oraclexe* ~/Desktop
chmod 750 ~/Desktop/oraclexe*
{code}
To verify success re-login and try "sqlplus":
{code}
su - oracle
sqlplus / as sysdba
{code}
h2. 10) Tips and Troubleshooting
h3. 10. a) Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application
Error: Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application. Specify a different port.This error happens after a previously unsuccessful configuration attempt using /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure script. The script was able to start the Listener process, but most likely failed to continue to clone the database, e.g. ORA-00845. The following should correct the problem:
Determine the oracle listener process that is already running:
{code}
$ ps -ef | grep oracle
{code}
Your output should be similar to:
{code}
oracle   19789     1 0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/tnslsnr
{code}
Then kill the process, using the appropriate process id, for instance:
{code}
$ sudo kill -9 19789
{code}
h3. 10.b) cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directory
Starting Oracle Net Listener...touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directoryThis error occurs when you run /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure, but failed the preinstallation step to create the /var//lock/subsys directory as outlined in chapter 8.
h3. 10.c) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system See chapter 7 to enable /dev/shm and verify free space available in /run/shm
h3. 10.d) Apex ADMIN password
According to the Oracle documentation, the password for the INTERNAL and ADMIN Oracle Application Express user accounts is initially the same as the SYS and SYSTEM administrative user accounts. Well, I tried several times without success. To reset the Apex Admin password:
Login as user oracle:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
{code}
At the SQL prompt, type the following to be prompted to change the password:
{code}
SQL> @?/apex/apxxepwd.sql
exit
{code}
When done, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
Workspace: Internal
Username: ADMIN
Password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
I will prompt you to reset the password:
old password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
new password: final_password
You can also login as the Apex Admin using http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_admin
h3. 10.e) SYS and SYSTEM password
Use the following commands to reset the SYS and SYSTEM passwords if necessary:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and type the following at the SQL prompt:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter user sys identified by "password" account unlock;
SQL> alter user system identified by "password" account unlock;
SQL> exit
{code}
h3. 10.f) Uninstall Oracle 11g XE
The following will completely uninstall and remove Oracle 11g XE:
Open a terminal seesion and login as user root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Enter the following:
{code}
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
dpkg --purge oracle-xe
rm -r /u01/app
rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
update-rc.d -f oracle-xe remove
update-rc.d -f oracle-mount remove
update-rc.d -f oracle-shm remove
{code}
h3. 10.g) Reconfigure Oracle 11g XE
Type the following commands in a terminal window:
{code}
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
sudo rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
{code}
h3. 10.h) Gnome Classic desktop
Ubuntu 11 moved from the Gnome Classic desktop to Unity and removed the "Ubuntu Classic" login option. Unity was designed to make more efficient use of space given a limited screen size and touch screens. If you prefer to use the Gnome Classic desktop, enter the following into a terminal window:
{code}
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
{code}
To log into the Gnome Classic desktop, select the "Gearwheel" at the login screen and select "Gnome Classic".
h3. 10.i) Unix vi cursor keys
The instructions in this tutorial do not require the use of any text editor. However, if you would like use the backspace and cursor keys in the "vi-editor", the following needs to be installed:
{code}
sudo apt-get install vim
{code}
h3. 10.j) Backup Database
In order to perform an online database backup using the supplied "Backup Database" script, the database needs to run in Archive-Log mode. This can be setup using the following commands:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> shutdown immediate
SQL> startup mount
SQL> alter database archivelog;
SQL> alter database open;
SQL> exit
{code}

Excellent Blog. Thank You
Small clarification on Step **6) Oracle Home Directory, ...a) Resize the Root Partition**
Ubuntu 11.10 has Gparted available as a Ubuntu software download, DONT use that while trying the above step, instead download the ISO file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ gparted-live-0.12.0-5.iso (124.6 MB)
Burn that ISO file on a Blank DVD, reboot the Ubuntu , during startup select Boot from DVD Option if not already selected. this will take to Boot Menu Options of Gparted Live then select the first menu option, and this allows to do further action such as Re-sizing .
and once you have chosen and executed step a) . do NOT run step b) also that is "Setup External Storage"
I hope this minor clarification can avoid some confusion

Any suggestions on creating a new user account please? (thinpad x61 tablet, Vista Business edition)

I would appreciate any suggestions on creating/editing the user account on my second-hand thinkpad X61 tablet (running Vista Business) edition. I bought the laptop from ebay in Germany/Austria. When I switched it on, there were no options to create or edit a username. I have completed all the updates (Lenavo and Windows). I tried the following to add a new administrative account:
1, Control Panel then selecting User Accounts. A screen appears for a second and then disappears.
2. I have also tried typing in sysdm.cpl in the command prompt,
None of the above worked, as the screen does not appear at all. I have also tried allowing the automatic updates on, that does not work either. I was wondering if this is managed by the Think Vantage system. Not sure if this is relevant, the Vista Business language was set in German and I added a language pack via Vistalizator to turn it into English.
Any help with this issue would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
Have you tried running the Local Users and Groups Manager (filename: LUSRMGR.MSC) to create a new user? If so, were you able to create additional accounts through it?

Personal Edition for Linux

The personal edition of Oracle database server is only available for the Windows platform. Given the Oracle's increased platform support and even having their own version of Linux, is there any plan making personal edition available for the Linux OS as well ?
this is not a technical question - or using XE or using OTN license for development - etc, I am simply asking if Personal Edition become available for the Linux platform. (having a 64bit and/or 32bit 11gR2 personal edition running under X distro of Linux - for example).
Maybe an Oracle employee can answer.
thank you.

All of the various editions available are free to download and use for personal learning.Personal Edition is for business usage.
Personal Edition is a kind of "substract" of Enterprise Edition, same components, same core, except the license terms are very differents (the usage for business), and installation type is available only for Windows. An SR won't help for that.
Find out more in the installation type of the Installation Guide :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15681/install.htm#CIHFJICE
It has been discussed many times over here, enhancement request already submitted multiple times, suggested multiple times here or there :

Control functions available in Manage Business Partner

Dear Friends,
We all know that in Manage Business partner option one can perform multiple activities like
1. Create Business Partner
2. Edit Business Partner
3. Create Employee for Business Partner and so on...
Now is there any way or authorization object by which we can control these activities?
What I mean is, User A should only be able to use "create Employee for business Partner" option from Manage Business Partner screen and not other options. Is it possible?
Can we control this via authorization object?
There has to be some standard solution.
Regards,
Sandeep

Atul,
Thanks for your inputs.
Basically this is definitely required by the business to have a good control over the various activities involved in Manage Business Partner transaction.
Business scenario that we are mapping is creating a Business Partner in SRM from accepted ROS suppliers.
Once the prospective supplier has been accepted in screen supplier, user needs to transfer the accepted supplier from ROS to SRM client via Manage Business Partner and create a Business Partner in SRM client.
We would not like to give entire business Manage Business Partner transaction access to the person who only creates the SRM BP from ROS supplier. The Authorization needs to be control further apart from just transaction BBPMAININT.
We did check the try to control authorization via object B_BUPA_RLT for "Business Partner: BP Roles" and S_TCODE - "Transaction Code Check at Transaction Start", but it seems not working as desired.
I guess there has to be some standard solution other than Template Change with Z Authorization object control.
Has anyone come across this requirement before?
Regards,
Sandeep

Multiple Output Medium for vendors in Manage Business Partner

Hi,
I'm trying to put more than one output medium in Manage Business Partner for a Vendor, Transaction BBPMAININT.
But unable to do so.
1. I would need assisstance that is it right to have multiple output medium for a Vendor functionally?
2. How do i achieve it.
Waiting for a quick response,
Regards,
Neha Misra.
Edited by: Neha Misra on Mar 28, 2008 1:18 PM

You can maintain Alternate Vendor Contact for the Vendors in the transaction BP; The Purchaser here after can choose which one to use during a particular time of the ordering the purchase order. This will be possible for the purchaser at the time of creating the purchase order in the Basic Data Tab - Alternate Vendor Contacts.
For every vendor contact you will need to have a default medium for output; which will be used to send the PO to the vendor.
Please reward points if found useful.

Strategy Management Business Process Scenarios in English language

Hi,
Can anybody (in SAP organisation itself , hopefully) help in providing the English version of the file Strategy Management Business Process Scenarios (DE)?
This file is currently available in German only at the service marketplace under SSM 7.5.
Thanks.
With regards,
Milan.

Milan,
The reason that the German version was on the Service Marketplace is because it is currently in production and not available until October.
I was able to go to implementationcontent.sap.com/bpr
- Clicked on SAP BusinessObjects Strategy Management
- Click Strategy Execution
- Click Strategy Management 7.5
- Click BUSINESS PROCESSES
- New window opens with Scenario "Strategy Validation"
- On the Documentation Tab you should see "Display Document"
- Clicking on Display Document opens a new window with the doc
The difficulty with being internal, is that I may have different authorization levels than you and so can't guarantee that this will work for you, but it is there right now in English. And I should mention that it took a long time for the new window with Document Tab to open, again your experience may be different, but be patient.
Regards,
Bob

Manage the repository in linux OBIEE 11gR2

Hello friends, I can help with this question please.
How I can manage my repository on Linux? Because administration tool is not in Linux.
Thanks before hand.
Edited by: 790431 on 12-01-2011 02:42 PM

the latest version available is 11.1.1.3.0 as far as I see for both Linux and Windows.
So just install the windows version and connect your admin tool to the Linux box or work with the rpd locally and transfer it to Linux.
I know this is not nice, but the only way to work with Linux. There are some command line tools that work with repository files (at least they were on 10g), but I doubt you could really work with them instead of Admintool.
Cheers,
Knut

New to Business Edition, can I get a walkthrough on importing?

Hello, I'm brand new to Postalsoft Business Edition and wondering if anyone would be as kind as to give me a call and walk me through the import process?
I've been able to import files into the software but there's got to be an easier way than having to assign fields everytime. We have dbase files that can have over 100 fields and this seems really cumbersome.
Thank you much.
Donn
Edited by: Kendra Vangundy on May 25, 2011 7:30 AM --- Please do not list phone numbers or email addresses on the forum. Thanks!

Donn,
When creating a new file in Postalsoft, if the data to be used is a database (.dbf) file, browse for the file to open it in the new file as follows. Importing will not be necessary.
1. Select File > New
2. Under Document Name, enter a unique name with .mdf extension
3. Under Data File, click Browse
4. Highlight the database file (.dbf extension)
5. Click Open
6. Click Use Existing Data File
7. Click Next
8. Click Finish
Note: This option cannot be used if the data is anything other than a .dbf (database file).
This should work for you.

Business Edition 6k gateway config lost

Hello all,
I have just received a cisco business edition 6k and was working on the gateway IOS.
I come to a point where I have changed the gateway original configuration and currently not able to communicate from my connected Laptop to the ESX host.
I am guessing the bridge setting is broken and I am not able to connect to the ESX main server and the host.
does anyone still have the original Setting on his gateway to share with me so I can compare with mine please.
thanks in advanced.

Hi iboboewfs,
if you are able to access the BE6K's CIMC, then in Configure Management Network > IP Configuration, you can change the ESXi's Default GW.
Hope this helps.
