Running OS X Client on Xserve

We have a need for the server class hardware in an Xserve, but no need for the extras that come with OS X server. As we continue to upgrade to new versions of OS X, we'd rather not pay for server upgrades since we don't use the features.
Assuming I can live without Server Monitor and other OS X server features, are there any pitfalls to running OS X client on an Xserve? Is it even possible, and would apple support it?
Thanks!

Odd question. Can it be done now? Mostly yes. (Search the forums for various previous discussions; getting the LOM working is the usual "fun" here.) Given that the box arrives with Mac OS X Server, you will have that software. I don't know that you can get an Xserve box without Mac OS X Server. When you eventually get around to deciding if you want to upgrade to whatever follows Snow Leopard (and if you want to upgrade and not replace the box), only then will we have a shot of answering the question that you've asked.

Running Windows 2003 Server on Xserve Intel with BootCamp?

Well...
This sounds like awfully bad idea, but one of our clients needs to run Windows 2003 Server for a certain project in their organisation. Fundings for the new hardware is available. Windows-compatible hardware!
The idea here is to get fundings for a new Xserve, run it with Windows 2003 Server in the project and then keep the delicious hardware for free when the project ends. A PC-server would be thrown out of a window in this 100% Mac-centric department.
Windows 2003 Server runs smoothly on a MacPro with Boot Camp and Parallels Desktop. What about the XServe Intel?

Schuckert-
Greetings.
Are you in a position to test the configuration for a while? If so then I vote do it. If not, you could buy a copy of OSX Server and install it on a Mac Pro and try running your software on the XServe platform.
However, depending on your relationship with this client, I would have them sign a release based upon the beta-ness of the software.
A lot of us here are not in a position to give such things a try-just yet. Too busy trying to make things transition smoothly on the accepted configurations.
Although I will say that I suppose a client will eventually pose the question to me (:>)

Though you can initiate the binary from your client side but for the file creation, there is no other way but to store it on the server side. So your best bet would be to get some space free on the server side of yours.

Running a J2EE client on a Remote machine

How do you run a J2EE client application on a remote machine?

and what about running on remote client .
the things i know is , ok leave i am pasting a client which is on different machine (i.e not on the machine on which the server is ) copy
1. the client jar file which is return when u deploy the beans .
* Remember to add jar path in the class path
2. client class / java file on the remote client
and then run the client
for eg . client code
change Properties 's prop accoding to u
import javax.ejb.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import java.rmi.*;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
import java.util.*;
public class TestClient {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
     System.out.println("IDFactory");
     Properties prop = new Properties();
     /* prop.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost","192.168.10.5");
     prop.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort","1050");
     prop.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://192.168.10.5:1050");
     prop.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
     InitialContext initial = new InitialContext(prop);
     Object objref = initial.lookup("TimeReport/Data/TestHome");
     TestHome home = (TestHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref,TestHome.class);
     System.out.println("looking up IDFactory Session Bean");
     Test TestRemote = home.create();
     System.out.println("IDFactory Created ");
     long roleID = TestRemote.getID("TR_ROLE","Role_ID");
     System.out.println("RoleID is " + roleID);
     TestRemote.remove();
     } catch (Exception ex)
     System.err.println("Caught an unexpected exception!" + ex.getMessage());

Running Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install on PC

On Unix I am able to run Oracle 9i client code against an Oracle 10g install by setting ORACLE_HOME to the Oracle 10g install location and then creating a symbolic link (example: ln -fs libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so.9.0).
On PC (in particular XP SP2) I want to do something similar without using "junctions" or "junction points". Is there a way to set an environment variable or ini file to have my 9i client code point to the right libraries? I keep getting an error saying that my client code will not run due to "orasql9.dll" not being found. The "orasql10.dll" is installed on my machine.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

You might want to check metalink doc,
Client / Server / Interoperability Support Between Different Oracle Versions
Doc ID: Note:207303.1
Even your application built on 9i, doesn't mean it will not work with 10g database. From what I can see, running 9i executable under 10g installation to create mixed blood breed will do more harm than good. Not only it's not supported but also the outcome is unpredictable.

Opening a text file in server from an applet running in the client

Friends,
I want to open a text file in the server(The server machine uses tomcat 4.1.12 server)from an applet running in the client machine;
The applet invokes a servlet that opens the text file;this text file is opened in the server machine; but I want it to be opened in the client machine where the applet is running.
Plese help me to get around this.

You can open the textfile on the servlet and then send the information to the client (applet) as stirngs. The must then applet convert the stirngs into some object or simply display the information in someway. But then the text file that you are opening must be stored in some relevant tomcat directory e.g. on the server. If you want to open a file on the clients computer, you get into signed applets.

Running JavaFX as client and connecting though Database

Hello,
I am searching for the feasibility of JavaFX for a client.I want to run JavaFX on client machine(can be multiple clients) and through some middle layer I want to connect it through database server etc.
How is this possible.?

I guess you find plenty of samples in the net on how to use a WebService from a pure Java client.If one knows to look for the JAX-RS (reference implementation: Jersey) or JAX-WS (reference implementation: Metro) APIs.

Add-on won't run on some clients

As soon as an add-on users de DI SDK, it crashes at startup on some systems and I don't know why.
I'm using the DI Basic Operations example that came with the SDK. I build it, and used the SAP B1 SDK setup .NET Wizard to create the installer and licence file. The istallation goes fine, but the addon itself crashes. with a useless "the program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" error message (see below)
I also tried other ways to run the add-on (among others directly from visual studio or from the command line, with the developer licence number as argument) but allways with the same result. At one system all goes well, at the other a crash occurs even before the debugging can start.
I have no idea what this error message is trying to tell me:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): COM object with CLSID {A355004F-AAB4-41D3-BDE0-7EAED1ED5FFF} is either not valid or not registered.

   at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
Most of the time however, I get a much less helpfull error saying there was some unidentified illegal operation.
Something that is possibly related is a problem with the references. On a PC where the add-on crashes I don't have the SAP DI as reference in the .NET and COM tabs, only the SAP UI. When I open an example the DI reference is reporting an error (not found) , but when I add the reference as a file, all is well. (The project now compiles with no errors or warnings, it still crashes when I start it.
The problem already occured when only SBO was installed (which should be sufficient to run the add-on? You don't need to have the SDK installed I presume). I installed the SDK and later even Visual Studio, but this didn't help.
I've reinstalled SBO several times (I even deleted the sbo program files directory before installing SBO again) but this didn't change anything.
(I'm using 2004a)
Does anyone know what could cause this problem?

I know that, but that didn't help.
Is there any way to find out which versions of the DI API a SBO client is currently using?
We've re-installed the clients and DI API using the shared folder on the server, but that didn't help. (maybe some old dll was locked and couldn't be removed (without any notice of that happening) and is still being used?)
One system indeed didn't have the DI API installed and the problem was solved a bit (my own plug-in now works fine, but the "DI basic operations" example of the SDK crashes when connecting to a company database.)
We've now got 3 machines running my add-on without any problems (the server and 2 notebooks) and 1 notebook who won't run my add-on at all.
The DI basic operations Example of the SDK won't run on any of the notebooks, only on the server.
On one notebook it crashes when I click "choose company DB" (which should give me a list of available companies) on the other notebook it crashes when I try to connect to a (any) specific company database and on the third notebook it gives an empty list and won't connect to anything (but doesn't crahs)
this is all 100% reproducable.
All machines run the SBO client and UI add-ons perfectly, only the DI seems to cause problems.
another weird problem that might be related, is that I need to compile my add-on as "debug". When I compile it as "release", it won't run on any of the notebooks, only on the server.

Significant difference in response times for same query running on Windows client vs database server

I have a query which is taking a long time to return the results using the Oracle client.
When I run this query on our database server (Unix/Solaris) it completes in 80 seconds.
When I run the same query on a Windows client it completes in 47 minutes.
Ideally I would like to get a response time equivalent on the Windows client to what I get when running this on the database server.
In both cases the query plans are the same.
The query and plan is shown below :
{code}
SQL> explain plan
2 set statement_id = 'SLOW'
3 for
4 SELECT DISTINCT /*+ FIRST_ROWS(503) */ objecttype.id_object
5 FROM documents objecttype WHERE objecttype.id_type_definition = 'duotA9'
6 ;
Explained.
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display('PLAN_TABLE','SLOW','TYPICAL'));
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
| Id | Operation          | Name      | Rows | Bytes |TempSpc| Cost (%CPU)|
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT   |           | 2852K|    46M|       | 69851   (1)|
|   1 | HASH UNIQUE       |           | 2852K|    46M|   153M| 69851   (1)|
|* 2 |   TABLE ACCESS FULL| DOCUMENTS | 2852K|    46M|       | 54063   (1)|
{code}
Are there are configuration changes that can be done on the Oracle client or database to improve the response times for the query when it is running from the client?
The version on the database server is 10.2.0.1.0
The version of the oracle client is also 10.2.0.1.0
I am happy to provide any further information if required.
Thank you in advance.

I have a query which is taking a long time to return the results using the Oracle client.
When I run this query on our database server (Unix/Solaris) it completes in 80 seconds.
When I run the same query on a Windows client it completes in 47 minutes.
There are NO queries that 'run' on a client. Queries ALWAYS run within the database server.
A client can choose when to FETCH query results. In sql developer (or toad) I can choose to get 10 rows at a time. Until I choose to get the next set of 10 rows NO rows will be returned from the server to the client; That query might NEVER complete.
You may get the same results depending on the client you are using. Post your question in a forum for whatever client you are using.

P & L Report using Report Painter does not run in PRD client ( time out)

Hi SAP Gurus
We created a P & L Statement on the basis of GLPCT table. We incorporated Accounts groups from a financial statemen version using KE5B in profit center accounting.
Report contains Account groups as well as profit centre group.
It takes around 5- 10 minutes to run in DEV client but in PRD it takes a lot of time and times out after a while.
Any suggestions....??
Regards
Satish

Hi Satish,
Use all the Index fields(Profit-center-based index) which are active for the table GLPCT in the Selection screen of the report and use maximum selection criteria.The processing time will improve to some extent.
~Andrew
Good you got the solution from the Basis Team, probably they might have increased the processing time limit of the report.But to increase the efficiency of the program the above will work.

Can I run a Unique Clients and Users Summary report customized by both floor area and SSID?

In Cisco Prime, can I run a Unique Clients and Users Summary report customized by both floor area and SSID?

Allright guys. I appreciate the quick responses. I've worked a lot in CR however i am not understanding the solution so I'd appreciate if you can dumb it down for me. If i understand it correctly you guys are suggesting to make a formula, that either return my group by string (which is a formula in my report) or the Quantity. I tried writing a formula like this
if ({@param} = 1 then
GroupName ({@GroupBy})
else
{NetPNL.GrossAfterAdj}
but it seems like CR does not allow you to return 2 different data types. Even if it had worked i would not know what to do from there. Can anyone please dumb it down for me. To make my situation more clear below is an example of how my data is..
MN 100
MN 200
MN 50
CA 300
CA 500
when the data shows in the report, its grouped by state, so it comes out like
MN 350
CA 800
I want the users to decide whether they want it sorted by state (ascending)
CA 800
MN 350
or Total quantity (asc)
MN 350
CA 800
