Shockwave MSI Problem and Flash name changes

Hi
1) The Shockwave 10 MSI is not suitable for easy
redeployment. It does not
detect itself correctly when added to an MSI as a nested
product. This means
that unless I manually detect it
and Flash it causes a 1713 error on installation.
Whilst I know that nested MSIs are not the prefered method of
redeployment
according to microsofts guidlines. It is the only way to
achieve such and
allow easy network deployment through Group Policy.
The reason being that you cannot invoke a second MSIExec
outside of the UI
Sequence and Group Policy Deployments do not have a UI
Sequence becuase they
are silent.
I know we could request that the network administrators
install shockwave
seperately, but our clients are schools and the network techs
are often not
very knowledgable about modern networks.
2) Why have you changed your policy of the naming of flash
from simply
Flash.ocx with a version number to a new name for every
single version. This
has broken our detection mechanism and is now leading to 1904
errors becuase
our installer is trying to register an older version of flash
(Basically we
use theWindows Installer standard mechanism of signitures to
detect the
presence of an application and then filter by version) . The
detection
strategy you describe on your site is fine for use in a web
browser but does
not seem feasible within the windows installer engine. At
least not as far
as I can tell.
Is there a registry entry or some file which is guaranteed to
both not
change over time and which will show the version installed?
kind regards
Stephen Whipp.

Quintino,
You can programatically open connecitons to Shared Variables. This allows you to decide at runtime the IP address, lib name and SV name you wish to connect to. I've attached a vi snippet the demonstrats an Action Engine to handle the connection to a SV named "Parameters".
I normally store the cRIO_Settings in a .INI file that is easy to modify.

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

Skype Account contact list and skype name changed

Hi!
I have been actively using my skype account again lately and one time last week when I signed in, I just cannot. My username and password are correct. And so what I did was to reset my password. I was able to reset my password through my email and when I signed in to Skype, I found out that my skype account was "hacked", I think. My skype name, profile photo and contact list changed into somebody else's account.
I just want to ask what has happened to my account? Why did that happened? The username and contact list that appears to my account, I think, was leggit and not an act of hacking. Could it be possibly that our accounts switched?

Hi, DaisyrieDumali, and welcome to the Community,
Your report reads to me like your account was compromised (hacked). If you still have control of it, sign on to the account dashboard and change your account's registered e-mail address to something else, and then change the password.
Also, as a proactive measure, ensure your computer's software and patches are updated, and run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware program using the most recent virus signature files available.
If you have lost access to your account, you may need to create a new account to use so you can contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover the first account. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of lingering problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.

OS X Server clients can't login after IP renumber and domain Name change

I can not seem to get the logins working again on my OS X server (10.9.4 w/ server 3.1.2 on a 1 yr old. MacMini) after I needed to renumber the IP and change the domain name. I destroyed the Open Directory server, recreated it and created one test account. If I log in to the client with a local account I can connect to the server (Go>Connect To Server) from the client using my newly created account, but when I try to login to the server using the same network account login I get the "shaking head" response immediately. I have rebound the server to this client and it says that network accounts are available, but seem to be at a loss to understand why it won't let me login...
The only error message I see in any of the logs is the following:
(AFP Error Log:) Sep 15 20:21:47 isis.mydomain.com AppleFileServer[3032] <Info>: major error <1>: No credentials were supplied, or the credentials were unavailable or inaccessible.
I'm not sure what credentials it is referring to. I created a self signed certificate that I am using with OD, could that be the one?

Many Open Directory problems can be resolved by taking the following steps. Test after each one, and back up all data before making any changes.
1. The OD master must have a static IP address on the local network, not a dynamic address.
2. You must have a working DNS service, and the server's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. Change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
3. The primary DNS server used by the server must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.
4. Follow these instructions to rebuild the Kerberos configuration on the master.
5. If you use authenticated binding, check the validity of the master's certificate. The common name must match the hostname and domain name. Deselecting and then reselecting the certificate in Server.app has been reported to have an effect in some cases. Otherwise delete all certificates and create new ones.
6. Unbind and then rebind the clients in the Users & Groups preference pane. Use the fully-qualified domain name of the master.
7. Reboot the master and the clients.
8. Don't log in to the server with a network user's account.
9. Disable any internal firewalls in use, including third-party "security" software.
10. If you've created any replica servers, delete them.
11. As a last resort, export all OD users. In the Open Directory pane of Server, delete the OD server. Then recreate it and import the users. Ensure that the UID's are in the 1001+ range.

Communicate with cRIO when IP Address and DNS Name changes over Network Variables

I am developing a LabVIEW software for an European Project using cRIO-9074 and RT Application Reployment to update all cRIO devices with the last version.
To communicate with the cRIO devices I have also developed some applications that are outside cRIO on LabVIEW Project that uses Network Variables to Read/Write to the devices.
When I am developing the software, everything works just fine because the LabVIEW Project knows the IP Address on my cRIO device. However, when I use RTAD to install the software and then my applications outside the LabVIEW Project, the aplications are, not always able to find the device when the IP address changes.
I have tried to replace the IP Address with the DNS Name but no success. When I change the router that is connected to the cRIO, the DNS Name also changes.
With this, my question is how can I solve this sistematic problem? Should I change any configuration on MAX, in LabVIEW Project and/or in the applications to be able to always find the cRIO? Is it possible to have a field on the application to insert the IP Address of the device to connect? If yes, how can I do this?
Best regards,

Form name and Program name change

Hi
I have created a smartform and a driver prog & saved them in 2 requests. Now i want to change the name of both but dont want to chnage the request numbers . Please advice how can i do that.
Thanks & Regards,
Preeti

Hi
You can't rename the form name.
So create a new form and copy the old form into the new one.
Assign the New program and form in the NACE tcode or at some other point.
While creating a new form , it will ask for a request assign the same old request in which old form is there.
similarly you can rename the Program to new one and add into the same request of old program. and release the request and use
if you want you can delete the old form name and program name from the request also.
Reward points if useful

Droid ERIS Problems and needing to change to a new phone

I have upgraded to the Droid Eris early this year around March, now at the time Verizon only had the Motorola DROId and the ERIS. I read reviews on the Eris and for the most part they were fair to good most people complained about it beingslow and freezing. So with that in mind I went to the Verizon store to upgrade mainly because my LG DARE just was going bad. I was told of the ANDROID update 2.1 that was supposed to fix a lot of the problems that the ERIS was having. My ERIS had all of those problems and then some.So I waited and waited 2.1 dropped and the phone got worse freezing issues, calls to people I didn't call, and slow performance. I read all the tips to help like app killer downloads going into "settings" and kill the running apps. But with all that this phone still kept getting the SAME problem.So I have contacted Verizon several times and of cource I get the standard "You have a 1 year warranty to replace the phone with the same phone" so after that I decided to go back to Verizon and change out the phone with another ERIS. It came within 3-5 days and I started it up and the same problems happened again. It's like I never turned in my other ERIS. This is very frustrating now I know I had 30 days to return
my phone If I was dissatisfied, but I was led to believe that the android 2.1 update would fix my phone but it hasn't. And exchanging my phone hasn't helped either. So I am VERY DISSATISFIED with this phone! I need a solution I would like to return this phone and upgrade it to the DROID X mainly because the reviews and most customers I've talked to say that it's a better phone. I don't feel I should have to pay full retail price nor do I want to ad another line to my bill. I would like to pay the 2 year contract price of $199 with the difference taken out of my return of the ERIS. I've been a loyal customer with Verizon ever since they were CELLULAR ONE! I've never missed a bill or had a late payment. I think that I should be an acception for this because Verizon know that the ERIS is not a good phone they don't even carry it in the store anymore.
Someone let me know something.

Why are my file and folder names changing randomly? (Appending Dates)

Recently Finder has taken to randomly (it seems) appending the date to various folder and file names. For example today I dragged a file from Destop into Documents folder and the file name changed immediately after the move:
From: wedding-invite.pdf
To: wedding-invite 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013.pdf
This has happed to folder names as well with different amounts of replication and different dates (usually today's date or document creation date). It happens to some files and folders but not to others. Those that it does happen to have no UNDO trail for the particular action (like Undo Move for example).
Very frustrating - any assistance would be appreciated.
I am running nothiong special (I do run Google Drive on my iMac). Also Time Machine.

Thanks! I found this on the folder actions setup:

Time Machine and computer name change

I just recently reinstalled the operator system after a computer crash when i did so changed the computer name and now when i go into time machine to restore the settings it only shows up as one sparse disc image.
i have found that when i can mount it manually but the files are not usable and when i mount it with time machine the history does not appear.

Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

Hard Drive and Computer Name changes on Network

We have 3 computers in our office: One G4 and two G5 (one with Panther and one with Leopard).
There was confusion on the network because all the drive where called « HD MacIntosh ».
I changed the names of all the computers in SHARING, I manually renamed all the hard drives by selecting the text under the hard drive icons:
The old G4 has 2 hard drives (New G4, Old G4) and the two other computers' hard drives are called G5 Carole and G5 Stephen.
Still, when I connect from one computer to another I STILL SEE « HD MACINTOSH » where I should see the new name I gave!!!
What I am doing wrong?

Hi pitou-
Did you try rebooting everything including network hardware?

Question about RAC 10g on server running AIX and domain name changes

We have several 10g clusters running on IBM p-Series AIX servers, and our company is changing the domain name for our network. I am concerned that if we do not change the domain names in the TNSNAMES.ora file and also the /etc/hosts file on each server, the cluster will no longer function. We are using CRS (version 10.2.0.3) and ASM within each cluster.
Does anyone know where I can find information about changing the domain name that was set up as part of the CRS and database installs for RAC? Does anyone have experience doing this, and would be willing to share a few insights? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

You may be able to use the VIPCA utility for RAC to change or modify the public and private settings for your domain names on AIX. Also, the Oracle 10g DBCA "Database Configuration Assistant" should be of use to change your settings for your RAC environment.
Also, see here for a good IBM Redbook that covers Oracle 10g RAC on AIX platforms:

Class and Object name change in the universe designer

Hello Experts
I have a confusion , I am just wondering if I devlop a bobj universe, lets say, based on SQL database and change the name of the class and object during the creation of the universe, will that fetch the data from d/base properly while running a query / report. Although universe class and object has different names than database now but the records are the same. Do we need to point the object to d/base object in some kind of different or special way .
To make my question more simple, In d/base table name is "Employee" whereas on universe side I create a class name "Staff" and at the same time field name in the database is "Emploee ID" whereas in the universe I named it "Badge number".
Please advise if that will make any difference while I run the query or Is there any kind of complication on the universe side that I should expect which I am not familiar with.
I would apprecite your response.
Best Regards

Hello experts,
Let me rephrase the issue with exact scenario.
I have a table names "REGION" with fields region id, region and country id.
I have another table name REGION_SLINE with fields SL_id, region id and Sales_revenue.
I created an equi join between these two tables based on region id field and checked the cardinality which is ok.
Now when I try to create a report based on sales revenue per customer ( "customer's first name" is an other field on CUSTOMER table), I dont get any result in the report and get a message that "No data to reterive"
Also please note that when I run a report which is sales revenue per region id, I get the result, seem slike these two tables REGION and REGION_SLINE can generate the report but sales revenue per customer report is not generated because customer first name is a field of another table.
I was just wondering if I need to write some kind of where clause in the object properties of region id which is used to create equi joon link.
I woulld appreciate your response.
Regards

Link between reports and universes and universe name change

I want to change a universe name.
What is the impact on my WebI reports and DeskI reports ?
Is it risky ? Will the link between reports and universes be saved ?
Does someone know how the link between reports and universes works for WebI reports and DeskI reports ?
Thanks

Hello Umberto,
I recommend to post this query to the [WEBI|SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence; and [DESKI|SAP BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence; forums.
These forums are monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Webi and Deski queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

The Universe name is stored within the data context of the report so the report (deski and webi) refer to a Universe.
Changing the name of that Universe has a very bad effect: the reports usually stop working!
In order to change the name, you must manually visit each report and change the Universe associated with EACH QUERY IN EACH REPORT!! It can be done, but it is time consuming. And you'll need both Universe names in the CMS until you're done
