Recommended development-machine spec: seeking opinions

All,
My current laptop has problems running these newfangled development tools,
so I think it's time to upgrade.
I'd be grateful for any opinions on exactly what spec of machine I need to
ensure I don't get wound up waiting for it to respond!
The one (Win2K) machine is supposed to fulfil all my development requirements, so
I guess it'll be concurrently running JDev 9i using BC4J against an 8i or 9i
database server, with Internet Explorer v5+ and maybe the odd Windows app.
BTW: I've read that the minimum requirements are a PIII 500 with >256MB ram, but
IIRC I also read a review that said JDev was extremely slow on
a PIII 500 with 512Meg.
Thanks for any advice!

Hi Michael,
I would bump RAM up a little bit.
I just ran a test on CPU and Memory usage on my machine using the W2K Server Task Manager. It's not as scientific as some would like but here are my real-world results using the IMB machine described above.
At the beggining of the test, Oracle 9iAS and 9iDB were running as services using default configurations and memory usage was at 440 MB and CPU was at 5%. I then started JDeveloper 9.02 which briefly pegged CPU and memory usage climbed to 612 MB. I then built a Business Components Package (BC4J Model) based upon 12 tables in my 9iDB which took 45 seconds, memory usage jumped 628 MB and CPU was pegged for most of that time. Then I used BC4J-JSP Wizard to create a Business Components Application (BC4J-JSP) based upon the Business Components Package I just built. This took 23 seconds, memory remained at 628 MB and CPU was again pegged. Then I compile both BC4J model and BC4J-JSP app with took 35 seconds, memory jumped to 653 MB and again CPU was pegged. I then started the BC4J-JSP app within JDeveloper using the imbedded OC4J server which took 45 seconds come up with IE5.5, memory usage climbed to 695 MB. Lastly I test the BC4J-JSP app by selecting "MyTable Browse" (one of the choices from the BC4J-JSP app) which took 10 seconds to start, memory jumped to 705 MB and CPU never pegged.

Clone a development machine taking old references

Hi,
We have clone or copied image of one virtual development machine. my intention was that i don't need to configure machine and also web application again and i can have multiple development environments.
But when i try to cretae one new site collection in one of web application in new iamge. this new site collection is not opening and giving 503 error.
i verified and found that the new site collection i create is in old environment, so new machine's sharepoint still refering old machine.
can you please let me know how i can change reference. it is singleeton machine with database on same server.
Thanks,
Heerak

Cloning is not supported for SharePoint by Microsoft. It can be achived but there will be lots of challenges especially when you have both the Environment running.
503 usually comes when application pool is stopped, check the application pool on the clone server IIS and make sure it is started.
check you Alternat Access Mapping - make sure it points to the new clone server.
on CA, go to system settings --> manage servers in farm --> check the SQL server for configuration database, it must be pointing to the old server, create a SQL alias and point it to the clone serevr.
but the best i'd recommend , copy
and move all the databases to the new SQL server
install the sharepoint and conncet to the configuration database using SQL alias.
you 'll ge a new environment with same settings as old one and same data, you just might have to change some AAM settings.
hope it helps !
Thanks, Noddy

Report using charts not work on non-development machine

Post Author: ftsoft
CA Forum: .NET
using visual studio report uses charts. works fine on development machine when I move the web app to a test machine which does NOT contain visual studio, the chart report does not worknote: other reports which only display data records work fine. the space where the charts should be displayed contain the following two lines CrystalReportViewer - CrystalReportViewer1 Error: Fail to render the page. any help would be appreciated

Solution suggested worked for me.
On my test server Crystal was trying to use the c:\temp directory to write the temporary images, my report always ran ok on the test server. On the live server CRW was running under with the ASPNET account and / or my own user account.
I ran FileMon and filtered on the aspnet_wp.exe process across both servers and ran the application up to the point of generating the issue. The FileMon output from the test server showed no issues we as the output from FileMon off the live server showed an access denied message.
I gave access right to the relevant accounts on the relevant folders on the live server and the report ran fine.

Delete the existing sharepoint farm it is a development machinie and re create again in same server

Hi
i want to
delete the existing sharepoint farm it is a development machinie and re create again in same server.
because i am facing issues to configure user profile service,
the user profile syncronisation service starting and after some time its stopped.
while i am reading http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups.aspx
in current farm i given ip address for sql server while installing sharepoint
you have not used a Fully Qualified Domain Name or IP Address when specifying
the SQL Server when running the SharePoint Configuration Wizard (PSConfig). Using either is strongly discouraged,
if i recreate the farm is it creates new databases in sql srver?
adil

1. Uninstall any custom / third party solutions deployed in server.
2. from central admin, delete web applications along with DB.
3. delete all service applications.
4. From the program settings, un-install sharepoint.
5. Go to SQL and delete if any DB from SP is left.
6. Uninstall SQL, if you see any issue.
These are high level reverse steps of the installation.

Development machine

Hello OTN Members,
I have a server box on win NT and Oracle 8.1.6, Portal 3.0 installed on it. I am planning to install Forms Developer 6i. My question is can I install form Developer 6i and forms Server on to this same box and for the development purpose can I access this site from some other machine by giving the URL like we can do for Portal. Or do I have to install form Developer on the development machine and forms server on this server box ?
I would like to know if somebody has come across with this kind of situation and would appreciate an urgent reply.
Thanks in advance....

Crystal Reports runtime info (including CR 11.5) is listed [here|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0]. The developer help file also contains good info on runtime distribution.
Note that CR XI r2 is not supported with .NET 2008. See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsassemblyversionsandVisualStudio+.NET] wiki for more details.

J2SE or J2EE on development machine

Hi,
I am a newbie trying to find my way in the java SDK environment. I just read the part in the BO SDK development guide about setting up the development machine.
However, some things are not very clear to me:
Our BO XI R2 server is running with Apache Tomcat. On my development machine (which is on another computer than the BO server) I downloaded the Eclipse IDE. For this I need a Java installation.
1. Do I need to download the Java J2SE or the J2EE from the Sun website on my development machine ?
2. In the development guide they speak about deploying the JAR files. Do I need to copy the JAR files from the BO server on my development PC ?
3. Set up your web application: must this be done on the development machine or on the Tomcat installed on the BO server ??
Thanks for helping me out.
Regards
Sofie

Hello Sofie,
-As per your description, you are using kind of a distributed environment where your Application server is on one machine and your Business Objects Enterprise is on a separate machine.
Following are the answers of your questions :
1)Do I need to download the Java J2SE or the J2EE from the Sun website on my development machine ?
>
As far as executing a application from remote machine is concerned, I am not getting why you want to install Java.This is because Java is also get installed when you install Businees objects Enterprise(BOE).And this can be seen by going to the default installation directory of BOE.
However if it is asking you to install Java,you can install it from Sun site.Make sure that Java version that you are going to install should be compatible with your BOE.
2)In the development guide they speak about deploying the JAR files. Do I need to copy the JAR files from the BO server on my development PC ?
>
Yes.You have to copy all the JAR files from the location where you have installed BOE.
Go to the path : BOEInstallationDirectory/Program Files/Business Objects/common/3.5/Java/lib and copy all the JAR files.You need to paste these JAR files inside lib directory of your client machine where your application is residing on.
3)Set up your web application: must this be done on the development machine or on the Tomcat installed on the BO server ??
>
If you are using distributed environment, you can install Tomcat on client machine to connect it with server machine.
Just make sure that there are no connectivity issues.This could be checked by typing following URL on client machine:
http://servermachinename:8080
Hit the above URL and determine if connectivity is done properly or not.

Different disk space alarms for development machines vs. production machines

In vCOps 5.8 I used attribute packages to differentiate between production and development machines on alerting and monitoring for disk space alarms. So if a production machine reached 95% utilization on a drive it would generate an alarm. I set this up in an attributed package and assigned it to production machines. I had a different attribute package assigned to development machines that would not create an alarm. So when a production machine exceeded the 95% threshold I would get an email indicating I needed to take action. I also had some different attribute packages assigned to some production machines that have chronically high disk space usage, but never reach the 100% utilization. These wouldn't alarm at the 95% threshold but maybe at the 99% threshold. In vROps I seem to have lost this ability which I'm not thrilled about. It doesn't appear that you can set different monitoring thresholds for different machines. So now after migrating to vROps I get alarms for development machines. Is there anyway to setup different monitoring thresholds for different machines. I know I could just put a development machine into permanent maintenance mode, but that doesn't really help me out with the ability to set different thresholds for production machines.

Hi, rgcda.
> Are you saying that I need to create new symptom definitions that I want to assign to development machines and then enable them in this specific policy in the Override Alert / Symptom Definitions?
When you define a symptom that triggers over 95% of disk space usage, the default threshold value of the symptom will be 95.
But if you want different threshold value of 99% for your development machines group with the same symptom definition,
you don't have to define another duplicated symptom but just override(modify) the threshold value of original symptom to 99 in the policy edit screen.
In other words, single symptom definition can have different threshold values in each policy.
> Also for alert notifications would I have to create a new alert definition and enable it in is this specific policy?
Nope, you do not have to create a new alert in this case.
If a symptom threshold value changes via policy override, alerts which have that symptom will fire at different threshold value accordingly.
> If I would have different symptom definitions for the same object are you saying I have to make the change in the KB you mentioned?
For instance if I want the C drive to be a critical alarm when it reaches 95% on this machine and a critical when it reached 99% on a different machine.
Nope, as you see in the above example, applying different threshold value to each machine can be done regardless of the metric you use is instanced or not.
The KB is about treating a metric that has many instances for a machine and you may need it for disk space usage.

Ho-Sung.

DIY Machine Spec Approval

My plan is to build my next PC myself (first time!). Here's what I've picked.
I know there are some sticky notes on machine specs, but I can't seem to find them.
I currently use Premeire Elements 7 for SD editing. But I'd like to make sure my machine will be somewhat future-proof and allow HD AVCHD editing with PRE10 - I can definitely see that coming. Maybe even if I win the lotto one day, I'd like to do HD AVCHD editing with Premiere Pro, maybe even using a Mercury-supported CUDA card.
CPU: Intel i7-2600
Mobo: Asus P8H67-V (4 Dual Channel slots of DDR3 1333/1066, (4) SATA 3GB HD, (2) SATA 6GB HD, UEFI BIOS)
PS: Seasonic M12II 520 (520 Watts)
CPU Fan: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus
Memory: Crucial 16GB ("Ballistic Sport", DDR3 SDRAM 1600), 2 x 8GB, Dual Channel
Video Card: None - I'll use the CPU's built-in graphics - I heard they're supposed to be pretty good
OS: Win7 64-bit
HD1: WD Caviar Black 500GB SATA 6GB 7200RPM
HD2: WB 1TB SATA 3GB 7200 RPM
HD3: WB 1TB SATA 3GB 7200 RPM
RAID: The mobo supports SATA RAID 0/1/5/10, but I don't have any plans to do RAID right now.
One thing that seems odd is the memory: I've picked the Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (#BLS2KIT8G3D1609DS1S00), which is $150 for 2x8GB DDR3. However, its speed is 1600 but my mobo only supports 1333/1066... that's OK, right? If I pick Crucial memory that matches my 1333 mobo speed, that would would be #CT102464BA1339 - but at $99 for 8GB, that would be $200 for 16GB whereas the Ballistix is only $150. Why is the slower memory more expensive? Is there something about the Ballistix memory I should know?
Also, my plan eliminates the possiblity of overclocking. I'm wondering if overclocking would buy me anything in the real world - I've never done this but from what I read it makes your CPU run hotter and can cause stability issues. Not sure what the performance gains would be, but I would not want to trade stability for speed. On the other hand, if the CPU cooler would mitigate any stability problems, I could go for the i7-2600K and a Z86 mobo for maybe $40 more.

Jeff, thanks for the thoughts.
Re: RAM...
I hadn't heard about that 12GB usability. Mostly I was just loading up on memory because every PC I've ever bought I ended up adding more RAM after the fact. My chosen mobo has 4 slots and dual channel, so whatever I get, I'd probably go for a pair of something, i.e. (2) 4GB or (2) 8GB.
Frankly, I'm a little stuck on memory.
On one hand, it seems fairly simple: get the cheapest (decent) memory and plop it in. On the other hand, there's a lot of options with brand, speed, and latency... do they have any real-word effect? I have no plans of overclocking.
For example,
8GB of Corsiar Vengeance (2 x 4GB) RAM is $50. Speed = 1600, Cas Latency = 9, Timing = 9-9-9-24.
16GB of Corsair Vengeance (2 x 8GB) RAM is $150. Speed=1600, Cas Latency = 10, Timing = 10-10-10-27.
So looking at the 8GB kit, I think: I could either do 8GB for $50, or double up (i.e. 4 x 4GB) and get 16GB for $100. For a $50 difference, that seems worth it.
But then I read a few things that basically said that all other things being equal, 2 DIMMs is better than 4 DIMMs just because of the coordination between the chips. Plus if I use 4 DIMMs I've used up all my mobo slots - if I ever wanted to add more memory (for Windows 11) I'd have to throw away perfectly good memory to free up slots.
So then I think, well the 16GB should use 2 x 8GB. But doing so means going from 8GB (2 x 4GB) to 16GB (2 x 8GB) is a difference of $100 instead of $50. Maybe that's not worth it. Plus from what I know about latency, less = better, so are the 8GB DIMMs actually slower than the 4GB DIMMs?
Arrgh!
Re: Video Card
For my initial build when funds are tight (i.e. my better half is watching closely ), I planned on just using the CPU GPU.
I looked up the GTX 560 and was pleasantly surprised to see that I could get an EVGA version for $190. That certainly makes the memory argument more compelling... a $50 memory savings won't do much toward getting me a GTX560, but $100 does!
So let me ask you this: Premiere Pro says it supports the GTX285/470/570/580 for GPU acceleration. The GTX560 looks like it has CUDA, so is that one of the cards that I could just tweak a config file and have Premiere Pro support it (albeit unofficially)?
I don't have Premiere Pro currently, but that's in my future plans, too.

Correct No. of Accounts and their Privileges for Installing SharePoint 2013 Developer Machine

Hi Dear SharePoint 2013 Experts,
I request you to kindly guide like; the Correct No. of Accounts and their Privileges for Installing SharePoint 2013 Developer Machine. Is there any step by step blog or Video on "Installing SharePoint 2013 Developer Machine".
Tried Installing ALL in one single Virtual Machine using account spDeveloper (which is a Member of "Administrators" and "Domain Admins" Group(s). Any kind of SharePoint Web-Application and/or Sites (Developer-Site, Team-Site, ....) can
be created including MySites and Intranet Sites.
But when tried creating SharePoint App Project in Visual Studio 2013 and deploying, stuck here with 2 weird Issues like;
1. This task requires the application to have elevated permission
2. Error occurred in deployment step 'Install App for SharePoint': The System Account can not perform this action
If Visual Studio 2013 is run NORMALLY (WITHOUT 'As Administrator'), it throws above 1st error - "This task requires the application to have elevated permission"
Because of the above 1st Issue, if the Visual Studio 2013 is run 'AS ADMINISTRATOR', it again throws an error (2nd error) - "Error occurred in deployment step 'Install App for SharePoint': The System Account can not perform this action"
How to over cum this "chicken and egg problem"??

Cannot setup windows 10 machine as developer machine

I have just installed build 10074 and VS2015 RC on a new machine (not VM) and I am trying to start porting some of my phone and tablet apps to Windows 10 Universal. On starting VS2015 I get the message that the computer is not a development machine, and
that I should switch it by going to Settings-Update and Security-For Developers but when I click on For Developers the Settings Panel closes and the machine has not been switched.
This stops me from getting a developer license, and doing any development.is this a bug? Will it be corrected ASAP?

Recommend development environment for Adobe Drive 4

Looking at what is needed for Adobe Drive 4 and I wonder what the recommended development environment is.
Would this suffice:
Adobe Drive 4 SDK
OSX 10.7
Eclipse Juno 4.2 64Bit
JDK 1.6 64bit
Or should I be looking at 32bit versions?
And should I follow what was in the documentation which was older version, 3.6 of Eclipse for instance?

Please take 32 bit application to set up you dev environment, especially, make sure JDK 1.6 32 bit is used.
Regarding Eclipse, 3.6 is recommended

Running DAQ-9188 with LV13 runs great on developing machine not on target machine

Hi
Running DAQ-9188 with LV13 runs great on developing machine, built exe, transferred to new machine and I cannot get the values to update. Front panel opens everything looks good but no updated values, and no errors. Can someone help? Thanks.

Looks like others are pointing you in the right direction let me just add a few things.
You must have a project to build an EXE. You add VIs to the project and then under the Build Specifications in the project you can right click and create a new EXE build. Here you must specify what the top level VI is which is the thing that gets ran when you run the EXE.
After that you need to make an installer. To do this go back to the project, and right click Build Specifications but this time make a build for the Installer. Here you need to say what things to include in the installer. You can choose to include the EXE you built earlier. In addition to that under the "Additional Installers" section you can choose to add other installers. The default one selected will be the run-time engine. That thing you went and downloaded.
Other things you'll need depend on what is in your EXE. Did you use DAQmx? Then you'll need to include it in the additional installers. Did you use XNET? Include it. Did you use Report Generation? Internet Connectivity Toolkit? Vision? VISA? etc.
It is some times hard to know what to include that's why in 2013 NI added a feature to try to can for things you used and include them.
Including these things will balloon the installer. Expect several GBs for the installer if you used DAQmx and other things. Once these are installed on a new machine you can make an update installer that doesn't include these things, and just includes the updated EXE.

Recommended development tools and ways to setup a dev env

I am also very new to javacard/smartcard development. So I was wondering if anyone out there can provide some guidance on what are the recommended tools that people use and how to set up a useful dev env.
I am very familiar with eclipse, and would like to know what tools are available with that IDE? Do I use JCOP or not? Open card framework vs using the api in jdk6.
It seems many of the tools mentioned in this forum are very dated and sometimes hard to obtain.

on which Operating system are your DEV, TST and PRD?
This sample is for UNIX/LINUX:
check that all of your DEV, TST and PRD have at least 3 Spool-Workprozesses
select a Spooling System which runs on UNIX/LINUX (in this sample I will use PRISMATnet from OCE which is also called Xprint within SIEMENS, you could also use Unispool from Hollandhouse or HP OutputManager former DAZEL from HP or ........or ......as well)
I suggest your PRD has the most powerfull Hardware, install here Xprint-Master / PRISMAnet-Master.
On DEV and TST install Xprint-Client / PRISMAnet-Client.
On PRISMAnet-Master, setup all your printers like networkprinters (IP-Address and Queuename) or BSD Printers on Windows-Printserver or..... or......, connect all your clients to Master and ALL your printers are available on all SAP Systemes like DEV, TST and PRD. You need to administer ALL your printers only on one machine (for details see the PRISMAnet/Xprint Documentation).
In SAP check in Transaktion "rz10" on each DEV, TST and PRD to have the correct "rspo" parameters for "PRISMAnet", then implement all your printers with "HostSpoolAccessMethod" "L". You could implement your printers on DEV and afterwards use report "rspoxdev" to export all printers into an ASCII-File. Use this file and again ABAP-report "rspoxdev" to import all your printers to TST and PRD.
You could automate this printer "export/import" with a batch and a variant to be done every 24h or so, what means you have all printers on all DEV, TST and PRD within 24hours but need to maintain only on DEV.
You do NOT need to have your Master on PRD, you could also have a seperate Server for the Master, but do not forget to setup a Client then on PRD and cpnnetc to master.
If you have questions please post here
