[SOLVED] List of configuration files of a package.

Some files belonging to a package are treated as configuration files (management of *.pacnew and *.pacsave). How can I have the list of files belonging to a package that pacman consider as configuration files?
[Edited] @tomk: Thanks, didn't have in mind that I had to insist with the -i option -:)

For installed packages only - pacman -Qii <pkgname> .
Ref: man pacman, "QUERY OPTIONS", -i, --info

List of configuration files copied to non-global zone

I understand that when a non-global zone is installed, the zone installation process uses "pristine" copies of quite a few configurable files (/etc/profile, /etc/syslog.conf, etc..) instead of the files which are configured in the global zone. Does anyone know exactly which configuration files are copied from their "pristine" versions instead of the files actually used by the global zone? Is there a list of all of these files somewhere? Where are the "pristine" versions kept in the global zone?
Thank you.

Where all information concerning specific packages is being kept. Namely /var/sadm/pkg.

What are the configuration files ( list them) in DCM repository

DCM Reference Guide says that Configuration information for OHS,OC4J, OC4j applications,OPMN,JAZN are stored in repository. Can any one give me the list of configuration files it is storing? Or How to list them.

Yes. What appears in the Finder as a singel file is really a bundle of files.
But what are they?
I can't tell you exactly - but I'm sure there's data there that allows iMovie to undo things you've already done, references the event clips used in the movie, thumbnails, backups, transitions you've used - that kind of thing.
I deleted them on a junk project and so no ill effect, though I didn't check all the things you can do with a project.
Even so, I'd restrict that kind of experimentation to junk projects.
Regardless of whether it's safe to delete them, I'd like to know what they are.
Fair question. I wish I could tell you more.

Reset config files for a package

According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … save_Files I have this situation in my config files:
original = X, current = Y, new = X
Is there a way to set current config files of package to X and save Y as .pacsave OR install X as .pacnew and leave Y in place without removing package?
Last edited by Evgeniuz (2012-03-12 22:00:00)

I'm not positive I'm understanding you right, but if I am and you are talking about basically backing up a package's config file, it is pretty simple. I believe the .pacnew and .pacsave refers to changes in the makeup of a package in general, not its config file.
To change back to the original config and save the modified version you can just add .backup or anything onto the end of the file that you don't want to use right now . Then, you just need to save the file that you want to use as the config file with wthe filename of the configuration file for that package (so the same but w/o the .backup).
Sorry if I am misunderstanding you and you really did mean .pacnew or .pacsave and not config files. Or if I am totally wrong but that is my understanding of config files and I know it has worked for me in multiple instances.

"dtutil", how to tell which configuration file for packages using after deployment?

Hello All,
Trying to achieve this feature,
Using DOS command to automatic my deployment process--glad I found dtutil. However, it doesnt give you any chance to identify which configuration file to be used by SSIS packages after deployment.
Deployment Method: file deployment
Configuration sued: XML file and SQL Table. IN XML file, it tells which DB connection for packages to look up the configuration table.
Who can share some thoughts on this?
Derek

It is NOT about sequence.
It is about how to point which configuration file to be used by deployed packages as during the "dtutil.exe"
deployment, you dont have chance to identify which physical location confg files to be used.
Derek
That you do only at the time of execution of packages. By default it uses configuration settings created at design time within the package. If you want to override it, you can use \Configfile switch of dtexec for that. You can also set explicit values for
properties using /SET switch

See this to understand how configs are applied in runtime
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141682(v=sql.105).aspx

The configuration file did not contain well formed AppV configuration XML - When using Office 2013 ODT package

All,
I'm experiencing an issue where when using the Office 2013 package pulled down from ODT, that if I try to change the locations of either InfoPath Filler 2013 or Publisher 2013 from the default of Microsoft Office 2013 then I receive the message "The
configuration file did not contain well formed AppV configuration XML. Please check the management server event log for more information". If I check Applications and Services\Microsoft\AppV\Server-Management\Admin the error displayed there is "An
error was encountered parsing dynamic configuration file '0'. However I am able to change the shortcut location for all other applications except the above 2. I've tried redownloading the files using the ODT and also changing the version number (so far I've
tried both the 15.0.4631.1002 and 15.0.4659.1001 with the same result).
As all I'm interested in so far is having a package which contains Visio and Project I've tried following the article to exclude all the other Office elements:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_ExcludeAppElement. However the package looks to be the same and when I load it into the management console all the options and elements to Office 2013 are available like they were before
when I hadn't set the exclude tags so I'm not sure whether the ExcludeApp parameters actually work correctly.
This then brings me onto the 3rd issue I've experienced. I have a group for the Visio users and I've set custom security for them to have Visio delivered to them but not Project and then a seperate group for just Project users who will have Project delivered
to them but not have Visio. When testing this sometimes seems to work but other times it seems to trip out and a user just in the Project or Visio group will get all of the Office 2013 applications and under the default location of Microsoft Office 2013. When
trying to spot correlation with this it appears random and can happen to any user on any device. We have sequenced a few applications ourselves where different parts are needed for different users and we have successfully managed this using different security
groups for different applications, just as I'm trying here with Office 2013.
Has anyone else experienced the issue with the "did not contain well formed XML" as at the start of the post and how were you able to resolve this? Also has anyone any advice on how to troubleshoot the issue with the security seeming to trip out
and publish all applications within a package to a user regardless of whether they are in the correct group or not?
The management / publishing servers are 5.0.1224.0 which is SP1 HF4 and the clients are on SP2 HF5.
Thanks

Nicke,
The config files are UTF-8. I did find the same article as yourself, however when searching for the value ‘TakeoverExtensionPointsFrom46=’ within either of the configuration.xml files that text isn’t found.
No sinister reason not to share the file used, just it’s the same structure as referenced in the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn745895(v=office.15).aspx. The only difference being that I’m using ProPlusVolume and I’ve set a version number (which is the October
2014 update). I’ve even looked to follow the above example as closely as possible in just using the ExcludeApp ID of Access and InfoPath, just to try and prove the process. However I still get the usual full package. The version of the Click-to-Run setup.exe
I’m using is 15.0.4623.1001, so later than the version specified at the end of that article which is 15.0.4619.1000. Where can I expect to see the elements excluded? Will it be when loading the package into the management console or would it just not appear
on the machine when delivered?
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="C:\OfficeDeploymentToolV2" Version="15.0.4659.1001" OfficeClientEdition="32">
    <Product ID="ProPlusVolume">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
    </Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
3). We’ve not used global publishing in our environment yet so I will try that. I’ve set both GlobalRefreshEnabled and GlobalRefreshOnLogon to True and when using the command Get-AppvPublishingServer on the client I’m testing with I can see this is pulled
through correctly. I’ve also added the client name to the AD group used to grant access to the package and it is published. However nothing is pulling through onto the Client, so are there any steps I’ve missed or misinterpreted when looking to set this up?
I guess the global publishing is there to keep in with licensing for Office being per device? On a slight aside, as Windows licensing is being changed to allow per user licensing
http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-to-make-per-user-windows-licensing-available-to-enterprise-customers-7000035401/ does anyone know if there are any plans to allow for Office / Project / Visio licenses to go per user as well? We’re a volume license customer
rather than subscription based so I think a lot of the options to selectively deploy Visio and Project are excluded for us.
Dan,
Ok that explains why the security could be tripping out then and leading to this result. As above I’ll try with global publishing and see how I get on.
From what I’ve read / watched I think only one Office 2013 package can be published to a machine, so we would be unable to have a separate package for Visio and a separate package for Project and then attempt to deliver
them both together. If a user wanted both Project and Visio then I guess we’d need to have a combined Project and Visio package to cover than scenario, but then 2 more separate Project and Visio packages for those who would only want either Project and Visio
(I think).
The scenario we’re looking at is to see whether we are able to deliver Project and / or Visio to different users through an AppV package and this will then cover users on XenApp or on fat clients. Only a small proportion of our
users will need access to Project and / or Visio so therefore we’d only have a small amount of Project and Visio licenses.
However from what I’ve tested up to this point and from what I’ve picked up from Forum posts / watched on TechEd sessions is that as publishing is Global and is unable to use different security groups for different elements of the
suite, then using Office through AppV is only suitable if you will be delivering the whole suite (including Project and Visio) to all of your users. So in a scenario where you’d only want certain elements to be delivered to a handful of users then you’d need
to keep with traditional ESD methods to have this installed onto fat clients and steer clear of XenApp. If wanting to install to XenApp then a lockdown tool like AppSense or AppLocker would also need to be brought into the equation.
Is my understanding above correct or have I missed some options / methods?
If the full Office package is always delivered but a company only has Office licenses and no Project and Visio licenses for all its users, how do they stop Project and Visio being delivered and being available? Or again if you have
this use case is the AppV method one which will be unsuitable?
Thanks

When Deploying SSIS Packages to SQL Server using SSMS Import feature, is the package configuration file deployed at the same time?

Hello, everyone,
I have an SSIS package with a XML package configuration file. I deployed it to the sql server using the import feature in SSMS (in Stored Packages, right click MSDB, select Import, select the package to deploy in file system). My question is
Is the XML package configuration file also deployed? If so, which folder is it stored so that I can change the values in it? If not, is setting up the Configuration tab when scheduling a agent job the way to go manually bring the configuration file in?
Your help and information is much appreciated.
Regards

Thank you Arthur for your reply. I appreciate it.
A followup questions:
I used direct setting for the configuration file path on C:\. But it needs to be on D:\ on the remote server. I can't create the D:\ path because I don't have D:\ drive on my computer (I understand I could use indirect setting to change the path in the remote
server. But that's not the concern here).
My question is: since the configuration is not deployed, can I make it up by setting up the Configurations in creating the agent job step? That is, copy the configuration file to the D:\ drive on the remote server, in Configurations tab, add the configuration
file on D:\ to the configuration. Will it work? Will the package still look for the original config file on C:\? and if it doesn't find it there, will it cause any error?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards

How to control which Configuration File a package Opens with in MS Visual Studio 2008 ?

When running our jobs, I know which Configuration File is being used, as it's specified in the path.
But when opening SSIS Jobs in MS Visual Studio, lets say there is four different Config files.
How do you control which one is used when you are working with the job in Visual Studio?
For example in the above screen, you can 'Add' or 'Edit' or 'Remove' Configurations but you can seem to say
"Reload this package with x Configuration", or "Select this particular one at the moment" for instance?

The configuration file mentioned last in the above screen is the one loaded last and the values of this file are applied. You can specify the sequence of the file with the arrow buttons on the right in case if you want a different config file to be loaded
in development and then change them back when you are deploying the package as a job.

[Solved] List AUR packages installed and only AUR packages.

Here's a good one. Thought this would be easy but thought it over and then looked around a bit and haven't found anything. There's might just be an easy way to do this that will make me *bonk* my head in the morning but I haven't found it yet. I'm looking to be able to just list the packages I have installed from AUR and not any that I have gotten from the official repos. I've checked out some utilities in AUR (like AURcheck) but as far as I can tell they just look for AUR updates. Anyone know of a way to do this?

@Ghost, I would have used packup but I had a couple downgraded packages and I wanted to be able to troubleshoot it.

Single XML configuration file for all the SSIS packages(including parent and child packages)

Hi
I have some 16 ssis packages. source Db and destination Db for these packages are common. I am calling these child packages in a master package.
I want to use only one XML config file for this master.
How do i use same for all child packages?
and can i do it with parent package variable?

I created a master package with a variable master, and in value i have entered the configuration file path.
Hi vjp dinu,
You should create variables in the parent package to pass values to variables in each child package rather than pass the file path of the XML Configurations file of the parent package.
As Visakh mentioned, you can achieve your goal by creating corresponding variables in the parent package for each child package, and enable Package Configurations for the parent package so that you can control the values through the XML Configurations file
for the variables of the parent package.
Supposing there is a variable FilePath in child package 1, a variable ServerName in child package 2, then, we need to create two variables pFilePath, pServerName in the parent package. After configuring the Parent package variable in each child package (e.g.
mapping pFilePath to FilePath, pServerName to ServerName), you can enable XML Configurations for the parent package, and expose the value property for both pFilePath and pServerName variables. In this way, you can modify the XML Configurations file of the
parent package and the specified values will passed to the child packages.

Package Configuration Files Not loading SSIS 2012

I've migrated an SSIS 2008 project to SSIS 2012 that uses xml configuration files. When I execute the first package through the IDE, the values in the config file are not populating variables as they did in SSIS 2008. I've enabled Package Configurations
and added the config files and not sure what I could be doing wrong. Could anyone offer any suggestions.
Thanks

Someone else migrated it for me before I had vs2012 installed. So I decided I would try migrating it myself. Now the config files are loading. When I migrated it there was an option for ignore config files that was checked. I unchecked it. Could that have
been the problem?
I just have one more issue now...Whenever I open the solution, it loads the config files, but two passwords are encrypted. For some reason it tries to login to the database when I load the package. This didn't occur in SSIS 2008. Do you know of any way to
disable this? I get about 2 failures before I'm locked out of the db.
Thanks

[SOLVED] Resetting config files from a package

Suppose I modify a file called /etc/examplefile.conf from a package example-package.
What is the easiest / most elegant way to reset this file? Reset = restore the file to its original, removing my modifications.
This[1] topic discusses this, but it is two years old. I would say the "best" solution there was the one suggested in #7:
you could move the config file first then reinstall.
But I'm not sure if this is safe. For a dummy example, removing /etc/pacman.conf then reinstalling pacman wouldn't probably be a good idea (I suspect this wouldn't work).
OBS.: Getting the original file from the package from the cache is an obvious solution, but I'm searching for a simpler (more direct) way to do this (a bash/zsh one-liner would be sufficient, for example).

[solved] trying to figure out BASH configuration files

I am trying to figure out where to properly place commands in the many stated/existing BASH configuration files —reading the wiki and the man page I see there are what at first glance are too many files:
from: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual … rtup-Files
invoked as an interactive login shell or with --login:
1. executes /etc/profile
2. executes-first-one-of-the-following: ~/.bash_profile
2. executes-first-one-of-the-following: ~/.bash_login
2. executes-first-one-of-the-following: ~/.profile
from: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bash#Configuration
configuration file sourcing order at startup ... by default in arch:
/etc/profile (indirectly) sources /etc/bash.bashrc
/etc/skel/.bash_profile (which users are encouraged to copy to ~/.bash_profile) sources ~/.bashrc
which means that /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc will be executed for all interactive shells whether they are login shells or not
It isn't clear to me what exactly means file#1 "indirectly sources" file#2: including ? append target file ? use file#2 instead of file#1 ?
It isn't clear either if ~/.bash_login and/or ~/.bash_logout are ignored (or not) in arch
so /etc/profile should be the (preferred) system-wide configuration file ?
so ~/.bash_profile should be the (preferred) user-specific configuration file ?
If so, does it means I should delete /etc/bash.bashrc (this is where I currently have system-wide commands) in favor of (ie: moving the content to) /etc/profile ?

I am fully aware of what the wiki is stating —I even included the link in my first post. The problem is not that I am not aware of what it is stating, it is just I don't understand it and thus my post to begin with. More precisely; this highlighted line:
Note: /etc/bash.bashrc is non-standard, only some distributions like Arch Linux have this included because packagers have added a -DSYS_BASHRC="/etc/bash.bashrc" flag at compilation time, in order to have a system bashrc file.
which clearly states /etc/bach.bashrc is non-standard was the first hint to me that these files were legacy/going-to-be-deprecated/something-like-this (my assumption) in favor of newer (my assumption) /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile
Maybe I am asking some obvious question (this is why I am asking it in the newbie corner) but please, have in mind that for someone coming from the Windows world some things/concepts are totally alien at first sight, for eg: in Windows you start Powershell and you have one (only one) place to set your configuration options and the like. Here I am offered with:
• 2 possible system-wide files: /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc
• 2 possible user-specific files: ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc
• 1 possible user-specific files: ~/.bash_login (and ~/.bash_logout)
... so I have (at least) 5 different places to execute commands upon login.
I was carefully reading all the files present on my current installation and now I understand what "indirectly sourced" means: including (if the file is present just insert it here)
I still don't understand what commands should be placed in which file; for eg: system-wide aliases should be placed in /etc/profile or in /etc/bash.bashrc ?
One more time, I am not a rocket-scientist nor I am a dummy, but the wiki just states file precedence without offering any details as best practices or something like that and just figure out: that for such a basic-thing I am getting different answers from two users (someone with 6000+ posts) ... either one: or the wiki is not clear or this thing is a little more complex than it seems at first sight ... just my thought.
Anyway, needless to say, thank you both for your time and patience.

[SOLVED] -Qkk shows "no mtree file" for all packages

When running pacman -Qkk after the upgrade to 4.1.0, I am now getting "no mtree file" for all packages on my system. These errors did not occur prior to the upgrade, and I upgraded no other packages. Does this indicate breakage? How should I fix this?

I looked at the libalpm source for information about mtrees, it looks like they are used to provide package integrity validation, but it's possible I'm wrong since I only read a small part of the code on mtrees. I'd appreciate information about what they are and what issues lacking them could cause.
