Rolling out updates automatically to clients?

Hi all,
I am curious other than JNLP/WebStart which we will not be using, how anyone has automated the process of updates to clients? In our case, we have a central JBoss j2ee server. We may need to update the code at some point, roll out new mbeans, etc. We also need to update each client that connects to it. In fact, our clients run a java service that every 5 minutes connects to the J2EE server to check if any updates of data exist for it to handle. What we want to know is if its possible to roll out an update automatically in some manner such that the jave service can shut down, be updated, then restarted? Has anyone done something like this?
Thanks.

Hi Pal. I have visited your other thread talking about the classloader thing.
I am interested in knowing that.. i know this is not the right place. I was looking for your emailID but cudnt actually find it.
What i want to know is :
I am running one webApp on Weblogic Application Server. I want to trace all the activities happening thru that application like, which class is being calle now, which method of which class, what heap memory, memory leaks etc and the SQL Queries being processed through JDBC.
I am trying to look for the solutions thru various ways. I am interested in knowing thru ClassLoader concept. Is it possible to trace all the classloaders in the runnung APP server or?? can we make one Classloader which can act parent to all the classloaders etc. I mn how can i proceed about it.
If doing such thing is possible can u guide me to a proper Address ? or you can help me with something.
Let me know.

Windows Updates constantly failing and reverting after SCCM 2012 R2 pushes out updates

Hi folks,
I wonder could anyone help me with a strange problem I am having!
We use SCCM 2012 R2 and I am trying to roll out updates to a Windows 2008 R2 Standard 64 bit server.
When I deploy the updates to the server they get to the server and install but during the reboot it says Windows Modules Installer for a while then shows the failure configuring Windows Updates, reverting changes screen.
I’ve tried the suggestions of disabling 'Windows Management Instrumentation' and 'Windows Modules Installer' and renaming the repository folder but still no joy.
If I use Windows Update to install the updates the updates do go on but then when I add it to the collection in SCCM to push out the patches it sees the server as if the updates aren’t installed and begins doing the installs.
After the patches installs using SCCM and when the server is rebooted it goes back into the loop of saying Windows Modules Installer and reverts the updates and strips out the patches again.
I was hoping that when the Windows Updates were installed via Windows Update and once I put the server into the collection to push out the updates to the server it would have shown that the updates are already installed on the server and show that server
as being compliant in SCCM but unfortunately that isn’t happening.
It sights a couple of errors in the Setup event logs on the offending server: -
For multiple patches - Package KBXXXXXXX failed to be changed to the Installed state. Status: 0x80070643
For multiple patches - Initiating changes for package KBXXXXXXX. Current state is Invalid Resolved. Target state is Installed. Client id: WindowsUpdateAgent.
After doing some research,
0x80070643 refers to a .Net Framework issue so I’ve ran a .Net Repair tool but that didn’t work either so I’m running out of ideas so any help would be greatly appreciated on how I can get this sever updated using SCCM and showing as compliant.
Thanks,
Bonemister

Hi Torsten,
Thanks for your reply!
I was afraid you were going to say that as it just doesn't make sense that when I install the update using Windows Update via the Ire-nternet and when the install and re-scan no updates are required. It is only when I ask SCCM to check for patches
that it sees updates are missing and installed the updates before the OS reverts when.
Is there a way in SCCM to remove the record of what patches have been installed onto a particular server? I tried deleted the server out of SCCM then applying the Windows Updates via the web then added the server back into SCCM and see did it pick
up the newly installed updates on the server.
The thing is I don't think that WindowsUpdate.log will show any failures as Windows update is showing as no more updates required. It is just when SCCM installs that patches that the problem happens so that is what is leading me to think it is an SCCM
problem.
My main goal is to get the updates into the server and for it so show as complient!
I'll check back through the even logs again. Are they any SCCM logs that show patches failing to install and why?
Thanks again,
Bonemister

Hi,
Every Roll-out of SAP modules is similar based on the functionalities required for each of the countries or employee groups rolled out to.
some of the Key things for E-recruitment Roll-out are-
1) Processes are defined and documented in the Blueprint already which have been developed and tested.
2) If there is any country specific changes, like language, external candidates profile, application wizard process, questionnaire.
3) Recuiter should ensure to use appropriate process templates respective to the various roll-out specifics
4) The project would be executed in the ASAP methodlofy with Regression testing of critical processes currently in process.
5) Functional and Technical resources would be required based on the scope changed with the developed/ already implemented e-Rec solution. Basis and security are required from the server maintenance, assigning roles, performance testing and for updates if any to TREX
In a nut-shell, ensure you are combining and harmonising the Client specific processes with SAP standard functionalities for effecient maintenance and exploring various functionalities linked to MSS.

Roll out requirements of SAP in European countries

Dear All,
We are in the process of rolling out SAP to our client's European business units based on our US based global template. Is there any documented procedural steps one must follow so that we do not miss any of the statutory/Legal requirements and some country specific functionality (config, reports etc) ?
We are presently looking for the countries Po, Hu, Be, Ru, Sp, It & UK. We are currently looking at country specific best practices baseline packages in Sap services Marketplace but if anyone can provide an exhaustive list of activities based on their past implementations, it'll be very much helpful.
Warm regards,
Kingsuk Mukherjee

a common requirement in all countries of the European union is Intrastat trade reporting.
And even it is common in EU countries, it can slightly vary from country to country, and Italy the most complicated in this regard.
For Russia you should implement the country version
for Belgium there is special OSS note "how to setup Belgium company code"
(and an umbrella is needed in Belgium, not a legal requirement, but a personal. I never had a worse whether anywhere else than the year I worked in Belgium)
You should do you fit/gap analysis on site to see whats missing.
It is always surprising especially if you have 2 companies in one country, they have different "legal" requirments. Just had it today. we are merging SAP systems, and both systems have a company in Italy.

Design doucments for new roll out

Hi ,
I wanted to know some information about roll out project
Wen the client is going for a new roll out do we need to create seperate Business Design Document or can we use the old design document by adding information related to the new roll out
Is there any specific standard or will it be client specific
Please let me know ASAP
Regards
Pavan

You need to create New Documents w.r.to the Old Documents..
As these are Project Documents and they are needed for Auditing purpose..
which is specific to the Roll out Project and all these are Client confidential docs..

Roll out client certificate from Windows

Hi,
We have recently begun using Macs in our Windows Enviroment and are having problems with our wireless. It is 802.1x with Network Policy Server as RADIUS. To connect you need correct user credentials and machine certificate that is rolled out through GPO.
Is there a way to roll out the certificate to our Macs also? If it's necessary to connect them to our domain, that isn't a problem.
The Macs are running Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
//Robert

You can use the Profile Manager feature of OS X Server, and create a profile that retrieves a certificate via SCEP or RPC from your CA. This profile can then be downloaded or pushed to Mac clients that are enrolled in the profile manager.

A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard). Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.

A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard). Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything. Both the suggestion from HP and Apple, it's making me crazy I've spent most of time trying to fix it.

You tried exactly what ?
I most of the time would start with the same Apple Printer Support page tech articles
OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion systems will have the necessary printing software already installed, or will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper. Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
Make sure the printer model is listed in Printer and scanner software, which is a comprehensive list of all printer models that have compatible software for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.

Problem using agent-update.bin to roll out SunMC agents

Greetings,
I want to use agent-update.bin to roll out SUNMC agents to solaris 9 and 10 hosts. I use the es-agentupdate.sh tool to create the installation package and the seed file on the SunMC server in /var/opt/SUNWsymon/agentupdate.
I copy the binary /opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/agent-update.bin to the root on a test server.
I run the following commands - each fails - unable to find the seed file. Can anyone suggest an -f argument which might work as I need the rollout to occur without user intervention to enter secrets.
./agent-update.bin -s oranc1 -r 8080 -p DPI_BasicAgent -f seed-file
or
./agent-update.bin -s oranc1 -r 8080 -p DPI_BasicAgent -f ./seed-file
or
./agent-update.bin -s oranc1 -r 8080 -p DPI_BasicAgent -f /var/opt/SUNWsymon/agentupdate/seed-file
Standard out from the last of these commands is as follows:
sbin_archive downloaded
SUNWessmu package installed
Running InstallClient : /tmp/agentupdate/DPI_BasicAgent/bin/sparc-sun-solaris/InstallClient -s oranc1 -p 8080 -u DPI_BasicAgent/upgrade-policy_sparc.xml -f /var/opt/SUNWsymon/agentupdate/seed-file

Thanks in advance for your help
Tony

Greetings Mike,
I copied the seed-file from my SUNMC server to the host being updated and put it in the same directory as agent-update.bin. Ran the following:
./agent-update.bin -s oranc1 -r 8080 -p DPI_BasicAgent -s ./seed-file
The result is:
Error: getting sbin_archive
Web server is listening on port 8080 and accessible through a browser. Agent package directory name and seedfile name are OK.
any additonal help appreciated.

Stopping Services when rolling out NAL Update

I am trying to roll out a newer version of McAfee software. Before NAL
can successfully install the update I need to turn off the McAfee
services that are already running.
Is there an easy way to have the NAL turn off the services?

For McAfee, we use the McAfee Installation Designer to build an
MSI-based (with Setup.exe) install. From there I build a simple
application object that launches setup.exe with /qb /i in the
parameters. Combined with the script I mentioned in the previous post I
now have an app object I can re-run against any machine having problems
with McAfee; it removes McAfee then re-installs it using the installer
McAfee provided.
I try to use the snapshot tool as little as possible. If an installer
has command-line options for a silent install I use a simple app object
to launch the installer for that app. Keeping away from snapshots
reduces my dependence on ZENworks, or any specific deployment vendor.
If I make a "deployment tool agnostic" installer, I can move that to any
deployment tool and not have to reinvent anything. If my shop were to
abandon ZENworks and go with something else, I now have to rebuild all
my snapshot'd apps using the new tool.
Along this line of thought, now that my shop is moving to ZENworks 6.5,
I have access to the InstallShield AdminStudio (comes with Zen 6.5)
which has tools that take the pain our of manipulating MSI packages. I
recently attended the Zen 6.5 ATT class and it was highly recommended to
start using MSIs anywhere you could.
If you haven't yet stumbled across it, www.appdeploy.com is a great
resource for building silent installs (I have no affiliation with
AppDeploy).
Enjoy!

Why must I upgrade RIGHT NOW or quit CC when an update rolls out?

After the umteenth iteration of this, I'm growing very tired of being FORCED to update my creative cloud manager every single time an update rolls out. I come from a an IT strategic background that strongely believes in not changing smoothly running setups until the most opportune time (between projects), and this is necessitating mid-project version changing.
What is changing so frequently with that app manager service? Why is it so critical that I be up to date that you force the exiting of the service rather than let it run one version back? Please consider changing this policy as it is disruptive to professional workflow, though, admittedly, the app manager itself isn't likely to cause a project jeaopardizing problem as much as, say, after effects or premiere are. THe more significant issue may simply be that it's annoying me and the staff here when it seems pretty much every time we ever click that CC icon, we have to sit through an update.

I agree. Sick of this kind of blackmail from Adobe.

N91 2.10 SW rolling out now in Updater

Hi
SW 2.10 seems to be now rolling out in NSU (I suspect it will probably take about 2 weeks to get to all countries and operators like 2.00 did).
I bet this resolves the issue with some 3rd party applications not running, sms slow down etc
I loaded it and actually bought the BestTaskman (because so many people talked about it) and it works (its a good app too). I never owned it before so I cant say it fixed it but it works now.
Its a bit of a hassle loading each time but on the positive side we can keep getting new updates and new features some times (like WDRM)
music101

Wow.. Nokia is really rolling.. but i must highlight..
If your phone is doing fine then there is absolutely no need for the updates.. i hope some of the bigger stalwarts would agree.
I am running the 2.00.052 version.. and the phone seems to be in perfect working mode.. no hassles whatsoever with videos or the slow sms.. in one of my previous posts i had mentioned that once i press send the msg leaves the phone within 6 seconds, which is pretty OK if not fast enough..
But knowing myself, i would upgrade it to 2.10.xxx also hahahahhaha.. just a thought...

I haven't even heard of anyone who's seen it yet. Probably that one guy in Hamilton NV with spotty internet access who can't post that he received it
Just kidding. They usually start small to make sure that it's not bricking peoples devices before starting "mass" rollouts.
