Drive Redirection virtual channel hangs when copying a file from server to client over RDP 8.1

Problem Summary:
A UTF-8 without BOM Web RoE XML file output from a line of business application will not drag and drop copy nor copy/paste from a Server 2012 R2 RD Session Host running RD Gateway to a Windows 7 Remote Desktop client over an RDP 8.1 connection and the Drive
Redirection virtual channel hangs. The same issue affects a test client/server with only Remote Desktop enabled on the server.
Other files copy with no issue. See below for more info.
Environment:
Server 2012 R2 Standard v6.3.9600 Build 9600
the production server runs RDS Session Host and RD Gateway roles (on the same server). BUT,
the issue can be reproduced on a test machine running this OS with simply Remote Desktop enabled for Remote Administration
Windows 7 Pro w SP1v6.1.7601 SP1 Build 7601 running updates to support RDP 8.1
More Information:
-the file is a UTF-8 w/o BOM (Byte Order Marker) file containing XML data and has a .BLK extension. It is a Web Record of Employment (RoE) data file exported from the Maestro accounting application.
-the XML file that does not copy does successfully validate against CRA's validation XML Schema for Web RoE files
-Video redirection is NOT AFFECTED and continues to work
-the Drive Redirection virtual channel can be re-established by disconnecting/reconnecting
-when the copy fails, a file is created on the client and is a similar size to the original. However, the contents are incomplete. The file appears blank but CTRL-A shows whitespace
-we can copy the contents into a file created with Notepad and then that file, which used to copy, will then NOT copy
-the issue affects another Server 2012 R2 test installation, not just the production server
-it also affects other client Win7 Pro systems against affected server
-the issue is uni-directional i.e. copy fails server to client but succeeds client to server
-I don't notice any event log entries at the time I attempt to copy the file.
What DOES WORK
-downgrading to RDP 7.1 on the client WORKS
-modifying the file > 2 characters -- either changing existing characters or adding characters (CRLFs) WORKS
-compressing the file WORKS e.g. to a ZIP file
-copying OTHER files of smaller, same, and larger sizes WORKS
What DOES NOT WORK?
-changing the name and/or extension does not work
-copying and pasting affected content into a text file that used to have different content and did copy before, then does not work
-Disabling SMB3 and SMB2 does not work
-modifying TCP auto-tuning does not work
-disabling WinFW on both client and server does not work
As noted above, if I modify the affected file to sanitize it's contents, it will work, so it's not much help. I'm going to try to get a sample file exported that I can upload since I can't give you the original.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Kevin

Hi Dharmesh,
Thanks for your reply!
The issue does seem to affect multiple users. I'm not fully clear on whether it's multiple users and the same employee's file, but I suspect so.
The issue happens with a specific XML file and I've since determined that it seems to affect the exported RoE XML file for one employee (record?) in the software. Other employees appear to work.
The biggest issue is that there's limited support from the vendor in this scenario. Their app is supported on 2012 R2 RDS.
What I can't quite wrap my head around are
why does it work in RDP 7.1 but not 8.1? What differences between the two for drive redirection would have it work in 7.1 and not 8.1?
when I examine the affected file, it really doesn't appear any different than one that works. I used Notepad++ and it shows the encoding as the same and there doesn't appear to be any invalid characters in the affected file. I wondered
if there was some string of characters that was being misinterpreted by RDP or some other operation and blocked somehow but besides having disabled AV and firewall software on both ends, I'm not sure what else I could change to test that further
Since it seems to affect only the one employee's XML file AND since modifying that file to change details in order to post it online would then make that file able to be copied, it seems I won't be able to post a sample. Too bad.

Datafiles Mismatch in production & disaster recovery server

Datafiles Mismatch in production & disaster recovery server though everything in sync
We performed all the necessary prerequisites & processes related to DRS switchover successfully also our DRS server is constantly updated through logs application in mount state whan we opened DRS database in mount state it opened successfully however when we issued command
Recover database
It dumped with foll errors:
ora-01122 database file 162 failed verification check
ora-01110 data file 162 </oracle/R3P/sapdata7/r3p*****.data>
ora-01251 unknown file header version read for file 162
as I do not remember the exact name now
However upon comparing the same file at production(which was now in shutdown state) the file sizes were mismatching so we went ahead to copy the datafile from production to DRS in database shutdown state at DRS through RCP utitlity of AIX 5.3 since our Operating system is AIX 5.3
Though this remote copy was success
we again started database in mount state & issued command
Recover database
But still it dump the same error but now for another datafile in DRS
I mean I would appreciate if somebody could point out that despite our DRS was constantly being updated through our Production in terms of continuous log application before this activity logs were sync in both the systems also origlos,mirrorlogs & controlfiles were pulled from production system as it is infact the whole structure was as replica of production system , then why did datafile sizes mismatch??

SAP version :- 4.7

I am in a process of DR Planning.
My present setup :
O/S : HP-UX 11.31
SAP ECC 6
Oracle 10g Database.
I know about dataguard and i have implemnted same on our other application but not for SAP.
I have ame doubts and I request you to please guide me for the same.
1. SAP License key -- it required hardware key. So will i have to generate license key another hardware key i.e. for machine where standby database.
2. Database on standby site will be in manage recovery mode. Will I have to make any changes or any other file realted to SAP on standby host ? (some i know such as I upgrade SAP kernal, same i have to upgrade at standby host)
Will you give me some link related to document for DR

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro (2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need to purchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro(2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need topurchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

The OS disks that are shipped with a particular product
are set up so that tey will only install on that product.
It will install on any Mini of that exact vintage, but that
is all.
This is to prevent people from doing exactly what you
are trying to do. The license for OSX shipped with any
is only valid for that product. Also, Snow Leopard,
including Server, is only permitted to be run on one
computer at a time. Bottom line, unlike Lion, legally
you cannot install the same copy on multiple
computers unless some "family pack" or site license
is purchased.
Yes, you need to purchase another copy.
The copy of Snow Leopard license is here:

System copy EP on SQL Server

Hi,
I am trying to perfom system copy from an EP Netweaver 7.0 SR3 production system to a development system.
My production system is a Java only, High Availability system with SQL server.
I have finished the export process using the sapinst tool and I have created a folder EXPORT which I copied to the new server (target system). In the target system (not high availability) I have prepared the OS (windows) and I have installed SQL server. I started sapinst selecting system copy - target system - central system - based on AS Java - central system from sapinst.
After few steps the procedure prompts for "Migration Export" media. I enter the path of the folder that I have copied erlier but I get the following error:
You entered: X:\IMPORT\JAVA Found the label SAP:JMIG:700:::* but need the label SAP:MIGJDMP:700:::*
Onother question that I have is:
Do I have to install the SAP EP first in target systme using normal procedure and then to use the system copy procedure in target system?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
As per SAP Note 151603 :Note 151603 - Copying an SQL Server database,
For Java or ABAP + Java systems that are based on NetWeaver technology lower than Version 7.10,
you must first export parts of the Java source system. For this, you must use the delivered SAP installation master DVD
of your installed SAP release. The export of the Java part into a file is then created using the option 'system copy'.
Have you used the same IM, which is corresponding to your Installed SAP EP release ?

Bhavik G. Shroff

RMAN copy datafile replicated to standby?

10.2.0.3 - standby is physical
I want to rman move datafile from ASM/DATA0 to ASM/DATA1.
STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT is AUTO
So something like this
#rman> copy '/DATA0/file.dbf' to '/DATA1/new_file.dbf';
switch to copy new_file.dbf';
Where, why, what , when , how in the standby server.
1) Will the 'file copy' and 'switch to' be replicated to the standby site automatically??
2) Will I have to replicate the commands of 'file copy' and 'switch to' the standby.
The tablespace/datafile must be offlined which is fine but the database cannot be down.

First conferm me?
1. Your Physical Standby on Normal File System or ASM for ASM Primary?
U have to use parameter on standby side:
db_file_name_convert parameter ='+ASM/DATA0','+ASM/DATA1

How to copy file to another server from database using FTP in oracle

How to copy file to another server from database using FTP in oracle.
Please do the needfaul.

Not to mention that some FTP servers can return more than one return message per operation whereas others may return one message for the same operation.I had the problem using the LIST command to determine if a file exists on the server. Cannot be determined via the FTP server's return code. Which means parsing and checking the text response from the server to the command. And this vary from server to server.
But the basics were quite easy to code. The entire package is 500 lines, includes comments and blank lines for formatting, and supports the basic FTP client command set. Not really a complex piece of software to write - but I found that many developers seem to think that writing network socket software is complex. Not really the case...Mine's a big larger, but incorporates functionality similar to what Chris provided in his, such as being able to use SQL to query a remote file using pipelined functions, or functionality to write the results of a query directly to a remove file.

Best Practice of copying Production to Development

Hi everyone. My management would like some documentation on the Best Practice of copying Production systems to Development.
1. In the past, we've setup the clients and connections/interfaces and shrink the database by deleting unneeded production data. Now that there is note 130906, saving the ABAP versions may be easier.
2. Every two or three years we copy our BIW Production to Development. This is also labor intensive to set up the development system again with source systems.
3. We've copied our PI 70 system to a sandbox, and again this is labor intensive to reset the PI object names, since the system names are imbedded in the object names.
4. I've done java systems to, so I'm not to concerned about these.
5. There is talk of copying the following Production systems to Development systems - SLD, PI 7.1, Solution Manager, SAP R/3, BIW, MII...some of these make sense, others we question if it is worth it.
As a note, we copy our SAP R/3 Production instance to our QA environment about twice a year and to another QA system monthly. We also copy our CRM Production to our QA environment twice a year and BIW Production to QA environment once a year. We can leverage what we know about copying to PRD to QA, but we want to give them alternatives about copying PRD to DEV.
We'd like to use SAP's TDMS to move data from PRD to DEV. But unfortunately, that project has not gotten management attention as being a high priority (yet).
Rather than take my word for it, is there any SAP provided documentation that would give my management a set of alternatives on their desire to copy our Production systems to Development.
Thanks...Scott B.

From a E2E200 perspective SAP recommends the following landscape:
Maint = Dev -> QA -> Pre-Prod -> Prod
N+1 = Dev2 -> QA2 -> Pre-Prod -> Prod
Maint is all object versions to remain ideally the same versions, and only transports to fix a short dumping Prod system. N+1 is where you have implementation/upgrade projects worked on and allow you import the entire project of transports.
Another consideration, when you restore a Prod system to a Dev or new Dev system; you are destroying all of your version info which means your developers can't view or revert changes for the objects.

Switcover production to DR and DR to production in SAP server

Dear All,
How I switch over production to DR and DR to production in SAP server R3 server?

Hello Manas,
Are the PRD and DR in a cluster?
If the DR has a different hostname you may need to check the following notes:

Moving the mailbox database copy from one exchange server to another exchange server 2010 DAG

Hello Team
is it possible to the move the passive copy of database and logs from one server to another exchange server in the same DAG with out removing and deleting the mailbox database copies in exchange 2010
normaly procedure is
Remove the mailbox database copies and manually delete the .edb files and logs from the physical location and re-add the mailbox database copy to the new server in the DAG.
is that any way to achieve to move the passive database copy to another exchange 2010 server in the same DAG ?

From your note, you appear to have a two-member DAG (with a server hosting your active database, and a second hosting the passive copy), and you want to move your passive database copy from the current passive server to another. Your note
about what "the normal procedure is" isn't 100% correct - there are many ways to handle this task, and all can be considered "normal". Why not just add the third server to the DAG and
add a database copy on that third server? Once it is fully seeded, you can remove the current passive copy. This way, you never lose your redundancy.
Yes i can add the third and fourth serve in DAG , but i cannot add the mailbox database copies to the 3rd and 4th mailbox server in DAG as am using RTM version of exchange 2010 which is allowing to have only 5 database inclding mailbox datbase copies
and also currently my lab setup is two member dag (with a server hosting your active database,
and a second hosting the passive copy) in the same site named SITE A
and recently i have created new SITE B and included the 3rd and 4th DAG members in the same DAG
i want the mailbox database copies from the mailbox server database in SITE A to
Mailbox server database in SITE B as passive copy
That is why i want to move the mailbox database without deleting / removing it manually
Hope you understand my situation!

Leave a copy of messages on server?

OSX6.8, Macmail 4.6 running in IMAP. How do I setup to leave a copy of messages on server, so that I can also read the emails on my iPhone? In POP I think there was an option in Prefs>account>Advance. With IMAP, it is replaced with "Keep Copies for offline viewing".
Thanks,
Tom

Never mind... I had a "rule" in Mac Mail moving thing to a folder "On My Mac" and when the rule moved the item on the Mac Pro it was causing the server to (correctly and logically) erase it. All better now :-)

Existing EPM Suit ( Hyperion HFM, HPM , Essbase) and give us the training.
I would like to know whether is there any process where we can do the Clonning of the Oracle EPM Suit
11.1.2.1 from production to Test Server. ?
Currently they are Using
Windows Server 2008 R2 - HFM HPM Essbase
