  • Delpoy EJB using command prompt, with Weblgoic 6.0

    Hi,
    I would like to know , how to deploy an EJB , from command prompt on BEA's Weblogic server 6.0.
    Thanks & Regards

    I have weblogic 5.1, but the sentence probably is equal. Try this:
    1- Open your command prompt
    2- Go to weblogic directory (ex.: c:\weblogic)
    3- Run setEnv (this put the weblogic classpath in your dos session)
    4- Run the sentence:

  • Start SQL Server in single user mode with parameter -m doesn't work well

    As you can see, I'm still able to connect with sqlcmd prompt to SQL Server. According production doc of SQL Server 2014, it should not be conncting by sqlcmd. it shall only be connected by SSMS.
    below the original doc on msdn:
    Start SQL Server in Single-User Mode
    Provide Feedback
    Under certain circumstances, you may have to start an instance of SQL Server
    in single-user mode by using the startup option -m. For
    example, you may want to change server configuration options or recover a
    damaged master database or other system database. Both actions require starting
    an instance of SQL Server in single-user mode.
    Starting SQL Server in single-user mode enables any member of the computer's
    local Administrators group to connect to the instance of SQL Server as a member
    of the sysadmin fixed server role. For more information, see Connect to
    SQL Server When System Administrators Are Locked
    Out.
    When you start an instance of SQL Server in single-user mode, note the
    following:
    Only one user can connect to the server.
    The CHECKPOINT process is not executed. By default, it is executed
    automatically at startup.
    Note
    Stop the SQL Server Agent service before connecting to an instance of SQL
    Server in single-user mode; otherwise, the SQL Server Agent service uses the
    connection, thereby blocking it.
    When you start an instance of SQL Server in single-user mode, SQL Server
    Management Studio can connect to SQL Server. Object Explorer in Management
    Studio might fail because it requires more than one connection for some
    operations. To manage SQL Server in single-user mode, execute Transact-SQL
    statements by connecting only through the Query Editor in Management Studio, or
    use the
    sqlcmd utility.
    When you use the -m option with sqlcmd or
    Management Studio, you can limit the connections to a specified client
    application. For example, -m"sqlcmd" limits connections to a
    single connection and that connection must identify itself as the
    sqlcmd client program. Use this option when you are starting
    SQL Server in single-user mode and an unknown client application is taking the
    only available connection. To connect through the Query Editor in Management
    Studio, use -m"Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - Query".
    Shawn

    Hi Shawn Xiao,
    For starting SQL Server instance in single user mode, we can add –m; parameter in SQL Server Configuration Manager, also we can run CMD with ‘Run as administrator’ and input the following statement.
    NET START MSSQLSERVER /m
    I do a test in SQL Server 2014 Express version, after starting SQL with Single User Mode, SQL Server will only accept one connection. If you connect to SQL Server with a user account, the following error will occur.
    Login failed for user ‘domain\username’. Reason: Server is in single user mode. Only one administrator can connect at this time.
    However, in your situation, you can connect to SQL Server and run T-SQL statement successfully, it can be due to connection with the administrator account in your sqlcmd.
    For more information, you can review the following article.

  • How to print pdf file in SQL Server Reporting services report using command prompt?

    Is there a way to automatically print a SQL Server Reporting services report on command prompt? For eg: We can save a pdf file using rs.exe utility. I want to print a pdf using rs.exe utility. Is it possible? I don't want to install any 3rd party software.

    Thanks Simon for replying to my question.
    In oracle form, there is oracle command to print the report from command prompt with the help of rwrun.exe
    e.g: rwrun.exe   REPORT="D:\Test\REP_25\MLA.REP" DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER" P_FORMNAME="MLA.FMX" P_SPRACHE="E" P_SPRACHE_NR2="1" P_WHERE_BEDINGUNG="order by land_nr" USERID="test/test.world" PSV_NAME="PSV_DEMO" PSV_JOB_ID="PS$9583" RECURSIVE_LOAD="NO"
    BATCH="YES" NONBLOCKSQL="NO" ARRAYSIZE="1" PARAMFORM="NO" ERRFILE="c:\temp\psv16.tmp"<
    and to save the report we just need to change DESNAME="c:\temp\OC_100001349.pdf" DESTYPE="FILE" in above command instead of DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER".
    DESNAME and DESTYPE are the input parameters of the respective report.
    In SSRS, we can run the file from the command prompt and save it.
    rs -i "C:\Users\pujarswa\Documents\reports\new\LoadReport.rss" -s ww2004760:80/ReportServer_MSSQL -v fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"
    -v reportPath="/TipsReport/LoadListTabular" -t -v format="PDF" -v LandNr=4 -u ap\swati -p test@# -e Exec2005
    But we cannot use same command for printing as you said we need to create another script for printing files.
    I have gone through the links but I dont want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader exe for printing because client it may not have Adobe Acrobat Reader on their machine.
    Also I want to pass a input parameter as type="Printer" to my report which will print directly for me and same I can acheive in command prompt passing type="Printer" fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"

    Hi,
    Good Afternoon :).  Need your help in resolving one of the issue with SQL Server 2012.
    Today, we kept one of the database in the Single User mode and wanted to bring back to Multi User mode.  But we are getting the below error.  There are no user sessions connected to this database which are blocking each other.  I see multiple

  • Server settings for remote Server in Flash Builder 4.5 Premium

    Has anyone figured this out? Seems like everyone is talking about FlashBuilder that comes with PHP and that doesn't help me. So I'm still having trouble moving my mobile app to a remote server and I have FlashBuilder 4.5 Premium without PHP.
    I have created a PHP project outside of Flash Builder and then I have connected to it using the Data/Service tab, but then it ask for the server information and that is where I'm having the issues.
    It works create with the setting like this.
    MAC:
    Server Options
    Web Root: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs
    Root URL: http://localhost/
    But when you try to export a release build or just like to test it, and insert your server settings.
    Server Options
    Web Root: /home/username/domain_name/
    Root URL: http://mydomain.com
    It doesn't Validate which in turn won't let the project work. Also it would be nice to put the remote server in there for testing instead of just for release builds. Any one have an answer. Every tutorial or explanation shows localhost.
    thanks

    Hello guys,
    I have found a solution: In ZendFramework/library/Zend/Amf/Response/Http.php  linenumber 59:
    $ssl = $_SERVER['HTTPS']; is given an error.
    I did this:
    $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'off';
    $ssl = $_SERVER['HTTPS'];
    So add this line....
    And it works...
    Hope it works for you too.
    Ooh, and don't forget to follow the instruction of TweenOut.

  • Set up site server on a remote server (was: remote server)

    I* gave up on trying to hook up to a data base I have spent days trying to set up a site server on a remote server. The only way I can connect is with a custom ftp i make in the cpanel. Then for example if i try to go live, the url it tries is the ftp url. I have worked with all types of servers both remote and local I wonder if dw knows what a server actually is. Why in the hell do they make it so complicated? Step by step instructions on how to set them up. The wikis are useless..Windows 7 Dreamweaver cs6..

    I have spent days trying to set up a site server on a remote server.
    You don't set up a site server on a remote server. It is already there.
    You don't FTP to a database.
    I realize you are frustrated, but now we need to start with square one. answer the following:
    Did you install a webserver, such as XAMPP on your local computer?
    Are you trying to use Dreamweaver server extensions (data binding)?
    After setting up the webserver, what do you see when you type "localhost" in a browser address bar?

  • Boot mac mini server into single-user mode?

    I've got a mac mini server (one of the ones with no optical drive) and I'm trying to boot it into single-user mode. I hit the power button and hold down the command (apple, splat) key and the 'S' key simultaneously ---- until it boots up to a login prompt rather than a black screen with white text and a unix command prompt...
    Is there some magic different on this particular machine to get to single-user?

    Hi, I wonder if anyone helped you out. I'm new here so here goes. I just bought a mac mini, but not the server. I had finished my new install and then I rebooted and got a black screen, since i have a wireless Apple keyboard, I cannot log into the computer by using commands, like Command-S. And Yes, you are using the right command, that hasn't changed.
    Your problem may be the same as mine, are you using a wireless keyboard, because if you are, it seems that the Bluetooth doesn't have time to install its software while we are trying to log into the system. Thus, as we reboot, we are holding down they keys but that won't help us because the Bluetooth software doesn't have time to do its thing, in the background.
    That is a huge problem because I don't have any other keyboard, but if you have access to a keyboard, get one and plug it into the back of your Mac mini and then you should be all set.
    Does this make sense? Let me know if this helps. I have no idea what to do because now I have a brand new computer with a serious screen with the you must reboot your system in many languages, and when one gets this it is not a good sign.

  • Server going to Single User mode

    Hi guys,
    I am having a database which we refresh every night with same back up where it is used for testing purposes. we will refresh the database thorough job. every time it refreshes it goes to single user mode, I should manually go and change the process using
    following steps:
    1) to execute sp_dboption
    sp_dboption 'testdb01', 'single user', 'FALSE';
     go
    2) to retrieve client session per database
    select d.name, d.dbid, spid, login_time, nt_domain, nt_username, loginame
      from sysprocesses p inner join sysdatabases d on p.dbid = d.dbid
     where d.name = 'testdb01'
    go
    3) kill the particular session
    kill 51
    go
    4)Now I can ‘remove’ the database from Sinlge user mode.
    exec sp_dboption 'testdb01', 'single user', 'FALSE'
    go
    Is there any way to write a query  in which if the session goes to single user mode  kill that session and start the restore process again? can you guys  help in implementing that code.
    thanks,
    aravind.

    i got one solution. I added the below script above the restore step process and in the restore store procedure i removed this statement "SINGLE_USER  WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE".
    Declare @name as varchar(15)
    Declare @spid as varchar(4)
    Declare sess_curs CURSOR
    for select d.name, spid
      from sysprocesses p inner join sysdatabases d on p.dbid = d.dbid
     where d.name = 'Test_DB'
    OPEN sess_curs
    FETCH NEXT FROM sess_curs into @name,@spid
        While @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
            BEGIN
                EXEC('KILL '+ @spid)
                FETCH NEXT FROM sess_curs into @name,@spid
            END
        CLOSE sess_curs
        DEALLOCATE sess_curs
        Exec sp_dboption 'Test_DB', 'single user', 'FALSE'

  • Start vm linux Guests in single-user mode

    Hi -
    I have OBIEE vm template installed and everything is OK, I forgot the roor password for this guest, (ovsroot) is not working I think I've changed it. One option is to start this guest in single-user mode, I tried but you can't see the console until the system is starting services which is a late phase to run linux single command on boot prompt. Please advice how can change my root password using single-user mode.
    thanks in advance

    Sorry, but I am not sure I am getting this right, where should I add 'single console=xvc0', if you mean the guest, as I mentioned in my post I don't know the root password and I can't logon. please kindly if you can add more detailed steps.When you boot your guest using xm create -c vm.cfg, it will immediately connect you to the console of the guest. That will show you the GRUB boot menu. You then need to edit the kernel boot line exactly the same way you would a physical server. In order to boot into single-user mode, you need to add the parameter single to the boot line. Along with that parameter, you also need console=xvc0 so that the guest uses the connected console to show you the boot process and allows you access to the single-user shell. If you do not use this parameter, you'll need to determine the VNC port used by the guest and used VNC to connect to the console instead.

  • IMac G5 only starts up in Single-User Mode

    I am using an iMac G5 with the lastest version of Tiger.
    I was trying to make a my.cnf file for MySQL for it to start logging queries, however was having some trouble doing so. After restarting MySQL a few times it would not start up any more, so I tried restarting the computer.
    After doing this Personal Web Sharing (httpd) would say that it was running although would not serve pages. So I tried restarting httpd which got it running properly, however I still had the same problem with MySQL, where it would not start running (the Preference pane would not respond when clicking "Start".)
    So I tried restarting again. Now my iMac will only boot into single-user mode.
    I read somewhere about modifying the boot-args, however have not had a chance to try it yet. I don't see why this would do anything however, as I'm not sure why that would have been changed in the first place?
    Has anyone heard of a similar instance, which is possibly related to MySQL?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

I was able to boot this mac up in Target Disk mode and copy the file into the /etc/ directory from a backup through another Mac and now it's working fine, thank G-d!

  • MBP starts up in Single User Mode by default..

    I restarted the machine because the trackpad was acting up. After file vault reclaimed unused disk space, the computer restarted with a black screen with "localhost :/ root#" in the upper left screen. I know very little unix so please forgive my lack of lingo.
    How can I possibly get back to the graphical multi user login? I have tried to restart in safe mode and from the install dvd but they just bring me back to the "localhost :/ root#" black screen. I have also restarted holding down the option key to select a drive, which I set to my drive name, and same thing-- Apple logo on a grey screen, spinning gear, then black screen localhost :/ root#. Only thing I havent tried that im aware of is target mode, but my other computer (Rev A. iMac) which is the machine I am writng this from is on OS 9 with no fire wire and just a 4g drive.
    So I need some advice if you have any. Hardware appears fine save for the trackpad and button being touchy. Apple has already replaced my swelling battery. They told me the new mbp's have a barrier between the the battery and trackpad assembly, (a prior neglected, inherent design flaw).
    I do have a new USB external hd. Is there any way to login my home folder and completely copy the home folder contents to it in single user mode? If I could do this, I would at least be able to keep my itunes librarys, playlists, keychain data, mail, etc.. Thanks in advance for any help any of you may have
