Store full

I am a novice Weblogic user and I wrote some code to add messages to a queue - unfortunately a loop was involved and this appears to have filled the store, to the extent that the server will no longer start cleanly, see part of dos window below.
Can i clear out this data, delete and recreate the store (with exsisting example data) or do I have to reinstall the application?.
Many thanks Terry Bennett

I think it is likely that you are using the Pointbase database as a JDBC store for your JMS messages. Pointbase has an evaluation license that comes with WLS that allows it to grow up to 30mb. Once it exceeds that limit, you need to get a license from DataMirror/IBM to keep using that database:
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/integration/dm/
Are you using the OOTB WebLogic example domain? If the messages in the store are not important for you, and you would rather just get the server up and running again, it's probably easier to use a file store instead of a JDBC store for your JMS messages. If you want to use a JDBC store, then you may want to consider a production quality database instead of the evaluation edition of Pointbase.
You could either create a new domain with the Configuration Wizard - easier
or edit your current domain to not use Pointbase - more advanced
So if you can tell us what your goal is
Whether or not the messages needs to saved
How to came to use this particular domain (created it yourself or from samples)
then we can give you some better advice.

6230i 'record store full' when it isn't

When I download emails I get 'record store full' message. I have deleted all messages and all pitures. When I go to 'e-mail storage' it shows me that my inbox has zero messages, but it says that my inbox is 73% full! All other folders are empty. I have removed the card, sim, battery etc and restarted - no difference. Is this a hardware problem?
PS This used to work fine till yesterday - I always use my phone to download emails.

I have now solved the problem which suddenly apeared a few weeks ago. I backed up the entire phone using PC-suite having first saved all my contacts on the SIM card. (I don't trust the contacts management in PC-suite.)
I then had the phone software upgraded by my local dealer. I now have: nokia 6230i V 03.88 vs before V 03.70, 28 jul 06 RM-72, GSM P1.1
I then restored from the backup and got most of it back. Some minor problem with display etc settings. I also lost the email settings but I could download from my mail provider and it now works. The key seems to be that my inbox setting which before shoved 0 messages but 31% utilisation now is back to 0%.
Cheers JATO

App store / full content?

following the categories in the itunes store /app store (for iphone/kids/kids between 6-8) I can only find a very few apps/games ("the best new apps and games) the result: is about 28 att all. how can I get the full content of all available apps?
thanks

Yes, you do.

App Store - Full screen preview.

How do I view an app screenshot in full screen? I've just updated to ios 6. I noticed you could tap the screenshot for a larger view in the previews but when I tap nothing happens.

Has this feature been removed?

Full production refresh to development systems and Charm?

Hi SDN Community,
Where I work we have a policy of refreshing the development systems (ECC, CRM, APO, BI, SRM) on an annual basis with full production system data, HR data is subsequently wiped clean from the development system.
For each of our systems we have a development system, a QA system and a production system.
The decision to do these full refreshes was taken to ensure that developers and configurers can do decent testing in the Dev environments - prior to transporting to our QA system - to ensure that we have a reasonably stable QA system. Prior to the refreshes - QA was considered too unstable by our business to be used as a good test platform - the full D refreshes solved this problem.
We have recently installed SAP Charm (Change request management) which is a solution manager based product that manages the transportation of objects in change requests - attached to maintenance cycles.
During our first development system refresh we discovered that all open Charm projects (maintenance cycles) were placed into an unuseable status due to the refresh. This means we had to rebuild all of the Charm projects after the refresh - which took a considerable amount of time + resources and delayed project work. We don't want to be in this situation again for our next refresh.
SAPs response to us has been that they have no other customer that does full Development system refreshes - and also has Charm. I wonder if this is accurate, I think what SAP are saying is that they don't have many Charm customers... Is refreshing Development so uncommon?
We are considering products like SAPs TDMS - and alternatives (eg gold client) - but most of these appear a little immature - for refreshing complex system landscapes - such as ours and keeping everything in synch after the refresh.
My questions to SDN -
What do you do - do you do full refreshes to your D systems?
If not - what are the arguments against refreshing D systems (is this considered bad practice)?
Are there any other Charm customers out there in a similar situation to us?
How do you manage the stability of your QA environments and stop the transport into QA systems of untested changes - if your D systems are not similar to you production system
(note we have some 300 active users in just our ECC development system)?
Any suggestions / recommendations as to how to best proceed would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks in advance,
Julian Phillips

Thanks Naushad for your reply,
I wonder if D refreshes are less common - more due to the additional hardware costs incurred (disk space needed to store full production data is usually pretty large) to do them - than due to avoiding disrupting development - probably a bit of both.
I did not mention this - but in our refresh we do reimport all transports that we open prior to the refresh - which used to solve our problems - in terms of restoring active changes - but with SAPs Charm system - this approach does not work as the Charm projects are left in an inconsistent status.
We are now leaning towards introducing a 4th set of systems into our landscape - so that we have the following platforms:
Development ---> Pre QA ---> QA ---> Production
This approach will allow us to keep both the Pre QA and QA systems refreshed every 6 months or so - and our new Dev system - we will refresh very infrequently (every 5 years perhaps) if at all. We will tie the Charm system to our new development - and this system will then not be impacted by refreshes. This approach means additional hardware cost - but as it happens we have a few spare boxes - so this maybe our best bet.
The core reason for our refresh is so that we will be able to preserve the stability of our QA test platform - which for us is the critical factor here. If QA has poorly tested work in it - we run a higher risk of disrupting other testing and also of this poorly tested work reaching production.
When we used to have a development system as you described and just the single QA box - we experienced frequent instability in our QA box - due to poorly tested working reaching it - and this delayed numerous projects.
Does anyone else have a 4 box setup like this? Anyone else encountered this on an SAP project anywhere? Pros / Cons of this approach?

Can I restore cache files to full res?

I somehow deleted a folder from my system months ago that I now need. I can't find the folder anywhere in my hard drive or backup, but I can find the cache files. Is there anything I can do with those?

If I understand it correctly, if you have Bridge set to store full sized previews in cache, then it stores a JPG the full size of the image. If you zoom in to '100%/actual pixel size' with the Bridge viewer, then you do indeed see a representation of a full res of any particular image. But AFAIK you can only access the cache via Bridge. You can't go in with My Documents, and pull out a single JPG.
This also presupposes that the Bridge cache keeps a copy of deleted documents. I can just imagine the outcry on sites like this, if it was discovered that Bridge was that sloppy with cache file managment! So I suspect that you are out of luck, in that respect at least.
But you mention a back up, so the files were stored in two locations prior to being deleted? That doubles the chance of a file recovery program finding them. I'm guessing that you have tried the Recycle Bin, or whatever Mac systems use?

There are several workstations that send .STR files to the Inventory
Service (Leaf->Root) that causes Storer in Root DB server to stop. It says
"..will retry" but it never does that. So, I have to manually stop the Inv
Service & db, remove the "corrupt" .STR file from the
\ZENworks\ScanDir\DBDir\temp folder, and start the db and InvService again.
Then the process continues until the next "corrupt" .STR file. They seem to
be Full Scan files according to the size of them.
Question: What can be wrong? How can make Storer just to skip those corrupt
..STR files?

Marcus, thanx for the quick answer (the weekend is over, back to work...),
but the fact of the TID does not match. Anyway, I think I should still try
that fix (have to try something...). Why those programs are not public? Is
there a way to make Storer to skip bad .STR files? That would be handy in
the future if any new problems occurs. What do ya think, should I try to
remove those problem workstations from the root database? Would that
correct (I mean delete and then recreate) the faulty tables in database if
the TID is right?
P.S. How do ya check if the Sybase DB is healthy, I mean the the way you
check DS with DSRepair...?

Upgraded from ZFD3.2 SP3 - ZFD 6.5 SP1, can't store inventory

I've recently upgraded my test server from ZFD 3.2 SP3 running on Netware
OES (NW 6.5.3 w/eDir 8.7.3.5). Everything appears to be working except
inventory. When it goes to store the .STR file, it give the following
error - Storer: started storing ....
Error in parsing xxxx.str due to other exception.
Storer: Full scan will be initiated.
We have tried it from a XP SP1 workstation running Novell Client 4.90 SP2
and from a workstion with both Novell Client 4.90 SP2 and the ZFD Mgmt
Agent. Both give the same results.
Have recreated the workstation inventory policy and deleted all workstation
objects. Newly imported workstations still give the error.
Inventory is not getting stored in the database. Any ideas?

Why Do Verizon Store Personnel ask for phone no., last 4 of SS and password?

On Friday Dec. 20, 2013, I went in to a Verizon Premium Retailer in Glendale, CA to explore a smart phone that would do well for an active person. A sturdy phone. I was asked for my phone no., social security last 4 digits and the password for my account. All this in a store full of people close by to hear. I think the sales routine for store personnel should be first to explore what the customer wants and collect info privately. She refused to help me unless I called Verizon for my password. The password could be something a customer enters on a keypad so its kept confidential. My visit to this store resulted in my walking out because the other person working there told me I could not speak with them as I was speaking. I just wanted to explore possibilities of a phone and service. I was told I wasn't behaving right for her. I was shocked at this rude come back to me when the other girl was entering in my drivers license info from my ID. I asked for my ID back upon being spoken to this way. The girl delayed in giving it to me. I then left, saying nothing except have a nice day. She then yelled at me Merry Christmas and I said the same (not yelling) back to her as I exited. It was a very strange customer service experience at this store. This staff is not trained to be customer friendly and find solutions to customers who come in to spend money in their store. I'm sure I'm not the only person who would question giving up all this personal data. Why so much ?
I can only think that she didn't like my frustration with the several steps to get into my account and didn't want to move on to show me a brochure or a sheet of paper with the basics. She was not going to help me with any information on Verizon Wireless services unless I gave up all this personal information so everyone could hear it. Wrong. She had no business telling me about my behavior. I was just asking for information on available phones and plans. It was an awful experience to be spoken to that way by this person. I'm further concerned by the fact that my driver's license info has now likely been compromised.
Is it my appearance she didn't like? Her customer service to me was going to be her way or no way.
I want the manager to know about this and I want an apology. I still do not have my questions answered about a new phone and service.

cindyholly,
We appreciate your feedback. I understand you want to keep your account information secure and we definitely want that as well; we make every effort to do this. You are asked to verify this information to ensure you are the account holder or the authorized member on the account. This is done to prevent unauthorized changes to your account and to ensure you are eligible for the new smartphone you have been thinking about. I can assure none of the information provided has been compromised.
However, this does not mean you should have had a bad experience, we truly apologize for that. We strive to provide you only with the best customer service and I regret to see this was not the case. We can definitely submit this feedback to ensure it’s addressed. What store was this at?
Lastly, I want to make sure all your questions are answered. Here are our new plans http://vz.to/1hX6IBf and our top of the line new phones http://vz.to/19dnbMP . Please let us know what questions you have.

Can I store and retrieve .html documents to iPad memory card?

I have not purchased an iPad yet. I am trying to see if it will fit my business needs.
I want to use the iPad for business, so that I can demo web sites that I build, to potential customers. I know, I won't always been in range of a wireless signal. Can I store the .HTML files to the memory card, so that I can call them up and browse them using Safari, where they could be accessed and look the same as if I was accessing the web real-time?
I also own an iMac.

The simple answer is maybe. The iPad natively reads HTML files that are email attachments. Thorough Good Reader you can read HTML and safari web archive files.
The problems is going to be in displaying images that are online if you're not connected. There are some site builder apps for the iPad. You can search "HTML" in the apps store. Look carefully. Most offer a safari prieview but might not store images locally.
A possible option is an app like Offline Pages (Freeware) that can store full pages and images for offline browsing.

PURPOSE
This document explains how to copy a Portal database schema from a database to another database.
It allows restoring the Portal repository and the OID security associated with Portal.
It can be used to go in production by copying physically a database from a development portal to a production environment and avoid to use the export/import utilities of Portal.
This note:
uses the export/import on the database level
allows the export/import to be done between different platforms
The script are Unix based and for the BASH shell. They can be adapted for other platforms.
For the persons familiar with this technics in Portal 9.0.2, there is a list of the main differences with Portal 9.0.2 at the end of the note.
These scripts are based on the experience of a lot of persons in Portal 902.
The scripts are attached to the note. Download them here: Attachment 276688.1:1 : exp_schema_904.zip
A new version of the script was written in Perl. You can also download them, here: Attachment 276688.1:2 : exp_schema_904_v2.zip. They do exactly the same than the bash ones. But they have the advantage of working on all platforms.
SCOPE & APPLICATION
This document is intented for Portal administrators. For using this note, you need basic DBA skills.
This notes is for Portal 9.0.4.x only. The notes for Portal 9.0.2 are :
Note 228516.1 : How to copy (export/import) Portal database schemas of IAS 9.0.2 to another database
Note 217187.1 : How to restore a cold backup of a Portal IAS 9.0.2 on another machine
The note for Portal 10.1.2 is:
Note 330391.1 : How to copy (export/import) Portal database schemas of IAS 10.1.2 to another databaseMethod
The method that we will follow in the document is the following one:
Export:
- export of the 4 portal schemas of a database (DEV / development)
- export the LDAP OID users and groups (optional)
Install a new machine with fresh IAS installation (PROD / production)
Import:
- delete the new and empty portal schema on PROD
- import the schemas in the production database in place of the deleted schemas
- import the LDAP OID users and groups (optional)
- modify the configuration such that the infrastructure uses the portal repository of the backup
- modify the configuration such that the portal repository uses the OID, webcache and SSO of the new infrastructure
The export and the import are divided in several steps. All of these steps are included in 2 sample scripts:
export : exp_portal_schema.sh
import : imp_portal_schema.sh
In the 2 scripts, all the steps are runned in one shot. It is just an example. Depending of the configuration and circonstance, all the steps can be runned independently.
Convention
Development (DEV) is the name of the machine where resides the copied database
Production (PROD) is the name of the machine where the database is copied
Prerequisite
Some prerequisite first.
A. Environment variables
To run the import/export, you will need 3 environment variables. In the given scripts, they are defined in 'portal_env.sh'
SYS_PASSWORD - the password of user sys in the Portal database
IAS_PASSWORD - the password of IAS
ORACLE_HOME - the ORACLE_HOME of the midtier
The rest of the settings are found automatically by reading the iasconfig.xml file and querying the OID. It is done in 'portal_automatic_env.sh'. I wish to write a note on iasconfig.xml and the way to transform it in usefull environment variables. But it is not done yet. In the meanwhile, you can read the old 902 doc, that explains the meaning of most variables :
< Note 223438.1 : Shell script to find your portal passwords, settings and place them in environment variables on Unix >
B. Definition: Cutter database
A 'Cutter Database' is the term used to designate a Database created by RepCA or OUI and that contains all the schemas used by a IAS 9.0.4 infrastructure. Even if in most cases, several schemas are not used.
In Portal 9.0.4, the option to install only the portal repository in an empty database has been removed. It has been replaced by RepCA, a tool that creates an infrastructure database. Inside all the infrastucture database schemas, there are the portal schemas.
This does not stop people to use 2 databases for running portal. One for OID and one for Portal. But in comparison with Portal 9.0.2, all schemas exist in both databases even if some are not used.
The main idea of Cutter database is to have only 1 database type. And in the future, simplify the upgrades of customer installation
For an installation where Portal and OID/SSO are in 2 separate databases, it looks like this
Portal 9.0.2 Portal 9.0.4
Infrastructure database
(INFRA_SID)
The infrastructure contains:
- OID (used)
- OEM (used)
- Single Sign-on / orasso (used)
- Portal (not used)
The infrastructure contains:
- OID (used)
- OEM (used)
- Single Sign-on / orasso (used)
- Portal (not used)
Portal database
(PORTAL_SID)
The custom Portal database contains:
- Portal (used)
The custom Portal database (is also an infrastructure):
- OID (not used)
- OEM (not used)
- Single Sign-on / orasso (not used)
- Portal (used)
Whatever, the note will suppose there is only one single database. But it works also for 2 databases installation like the one explained above.
C. Directory structure.
The sample scripts given inside this note will be explained in the next paragraphs. But first, the scripts are done to use a directory structure that helps to classify the files.
Here is a list of important files used during the process of export/import:
File Name
Description
exp_portal_schema.sh
Sample script that exports all the data needed from a development machine
imp_portal_schema.sh
Sample script that import all the data into a production machine
portal_env.sh
Script that defines the env variable specific to your system (to configure)
portal_automatic_env.sh
Helper script to get all the rest of the Portal settings automatically
xsl
Directory containing all the XSL files (helper scripts)
del_authpassword.xsl
Helper script to remove the authpassword tags in the DSML files
portal_env_unix.sql
Helper script to get Portal settings from the iasconfig.xml file
exp_data
Directory containing all the exported data
portal_exp.dmp
export on the database level of the portal, portal_app, ... database schemas
iasconfig.xml
copy the name of iasconfig.xml of the midtier of DEV. Used to get the hostname and port of Webcache
portal_users.xml
export from LDAP of the OID users used by Portal (optional)
portal_groups.xml export from LDAP of the OID groups used by Portal (optional)
imp_log
Directory containing several spool and logs files generated during the import
import.log Log file generated when running the imp command
ptlconfig.log
Log generated by ptlconfig when rewiring portal to the infrastructure.
Some other spool files.
D. Known limitations
The scripts given in this note have the following known limitations:
It does not copy the data stored in the SSO schema: external applications definitions and the passwords stored for them.
See in the post steps: SSO migration to know how to do.
The ssomig command resides in the Infrastructure Oracle home. And all commands of Portal in the Midtier home. And practically, these 2 Oracle homes are most of the time not on the same machine. This is the reason.
The export of the users in OID exports from the default user location:
ldapsearch .... -b "cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com"
This is not 100% correct. The users are by default stored in something like "cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com". So, if the users are stored in the default location, it works. But if this location (user install base) is customized, it does not work.
The reason is that such settings means that the LDAP most of the time highly customized. And I prefer that the administrator to copy the real LDAP himself. The right command will probably depend of the customer case. So, I prefered not to take the risk..
orclCommonNicknameAttribute must match in the Target and Source OID .
The orclCommonNicknameAttribute must match on both the source and target OID. By default this attribute is set to "uid", so if this has been changed, it must be changed in both systems.
Reference Note 282698.1
Migration of custom Java portlets.
The script migrates all the data of Portal stored in the database. If you have custom java portlet deployed in your development machine, you will need to copy them in the production system.
Step 1 - Export in Development (DEV)
To export a full Portal installation to another machine, you need to follow 3 steps:
Export at the database level the portal schemas + related schemas
Get the midtier hostname and port of DEV
Export of the users and groups with LDAPSEARCH in 2 XML files
A script combining all the steps is available here.
A. Export the 4 portals schemas (DEV)
You need to export 3 types of database schemas:
The 4 portal schemas created by default by the portal installation :
portal,
portal_app,
portal_demo,
portal_public
The schemas where your custom database portlets / providers resides (if any)
- The custom schemas you have created for storing your portlet / provider code
The schemas where your custom tables resides. (if any)
- Your custom schemas accessed by portal and containing only data (tables, views ...)
You can get an approximate list of the schemas: default portal schemas (1) and database portlets schemas (2) with this query.
SELECT USERNAME, DEFAULT_TABLESPACE, TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE
FROM DBA_USERS
WHERE USERNAME IN (user, user||'_PUBLIC', user||'_DEMO', user||'_APP')
OR USERNAME IN (SELECT DISTINCT OWNER FROM WWAPP_APPLICATION$ WHERE NAME != 'WWV_SYSTEM');
It still misses your custom schemas containing data only (3).
We will export the 4 schemas and your custom ones in an export file with the user sys.
Please, use a command like this one
exp userid="'sys/change_on_install@dev as sysdba'" file=portal_exp.dmp grants=y log=portal_exp.log owner=(portal,portal_app,portal_demo,portal_public)The result is a dump file: 'portal_exp.dmp'. If you are using a database 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2, the database of the exp/imp dump file has changed. Please read this.
B. Hostname and port
For the URL to access the portal, you need the 2 following infos to run the script 'imp_portal_schema.sh below :
Webcache hostname
Webcache listen port
These values are contained in the iasconfig.xml file of the midtier.
iasconfig.xml
<IASConfig XSDVersion="1.0">
<IASInstance Name="ias904.dev.dev_domain.com" Host="dev.dev_domain.com" Version="9.0.4">
<OIDComponent AdminPassword="@BfgIaXrX1jYsifcgEhwxciglM+pXod0dNw==" AdminDN="cn=orcladmin" SSLEnabled="false" LDAPPort="3060"/>
<WebCacheComponent AdminPort="4037" ListenPort="7782" InvalidationPort="4038" InvalidationUsername="invalidator" InvalidationPassword="@BR9LXXoXbvW1iH/IEFb2rqBrxSu11LuSdg==" SSLEnabled="false"/>
<EMComponent ConsoleHTTPPort="1813" SSLEnabled="false"/>
</IASInstance>
<PortalInstance DADLocation="/pls/portal" SchemaUsername="portal" SchemaPassword="@BR9LXXoXbvW1c5ZkK8t3KJJivRb0Uus9og==" ConnectString="cn=asdb,cn=oraclecontext">
<WebCacheDependency ContainerType="IASInstance" Name="ias904.dev.dev_domain.com"/>
<OIDDependency ContainerType="IASInstance" Name="ias904.dev.dev_domain.com"/>
<EMDependency ContainerType="IASInstance" Name="ias904.dev.dev_domain.com"/>
</PortalInstance>
</IASConfig>
It corresponds to a portal URL like this:
http://dev.dev_domain.com:7782/pls/portalThe script exp_portal_schema.sh copy the iasconfig.xml file in the exp_data directory.
C. Export the security: users and groups (optional)
If you use other Single Sing-On uses than the portal user, you probably need to restore the full security, the users and groups stored in OID on the production machine. 5 steps need to be executed for this operation:
Export the OID entries with LDAPSEARCH
Before to import, change the domain in the generated file (optional)
Before to import, remove the 'authpassword' attributes from the generated files
Import them with LDAPADD
Update the GUID/DN of the groups in portal tables
Part 1 - LDAPSEARCH
The typical commands to do this operation look like this:
ldapsearch -h $OID_HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -X -b "cn=portal.040127.1384,cn=groups,dc=dev_domain,dc=com" -s sub "objectclass=*" > portal_group.xml
ldapsearch -h $OID_HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -X -D "cn=orcladmin" -w $IAS_PASSWORD -b "cn=users,dc=dev_domain,dc=com" -s sub "objectclass=inetorgperson" > portal_users.xmlTake care about the following points
The groups are stored in a LDAP directory containing the date of installation
( in this example: portal.040127.1384,cn=groups,dc=dev_domain,dc=com )
If the domain of dev and prod is different, the exported files contains the name of the development domain in the form of 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com' in a lot of place. The domain name needs to be replaced by the production domain name everywhere in the files.
Ldapsearch uses the option '- X '. It it to export to DSML files (XML). It avoids a problem related with common LDAP files, LDIF files. LDIF files are wrapped at 78 characters. The wrapping to 78 characters make difficult to change the domain name contained in the LDIF files. XML files are not wrapped and do not have this problem.
A sample script to export the 2 XML files is given here in : step 3 - export the users and groups (optional) of the export script.
Part 2 : change the domain in the DSML files
If the domain of dev and prod is different, the exported files contains the name of the development domain in the form of 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com' in a lot of place. The domain name need to be replaced by the production domain name everywhere in the files.
To do this, we can use these commands:
cat exp_data/portal_groups.xml | sed -e "s/$DEV_DN/$PROD_DN/" > imp_log/portal_groups.xml
cat exp_data/portal_users.xml | sed -e "s/$DEV_DN/$PROD_DN/" > imp_log/temp_users.xml
Part 3 : Remove the authpassword attribute
The export of all attributes from the all users has also exported an automatically generated attribute in OID called 'authpassword'.
'authpassword' is a list automatically generated passwords for several types of application. But mostly, it can not be imported. Also, there is no option in ldapsearch (that I know) that allows removing an attribute. In place of giving to the ldapsearch command the list of all the attributes that is very long, without 'authpassword', we will remove the attribute after the export.
For that we will use the fact that the DSML files are XML files. There is a XSLT in the Oracle IAS, in the executable '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/xml'. XSLT is a standard specification of the internet consortium W3C to transform a XML file with the help of a XSL file.
Here is the XSL file to remove the authpassword tag.
del_autpassword.xsl

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xml:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="*|@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="attr">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@name='authpassword;oid'">
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@name='authpassword;orclcommonpwd'">
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And the command to make the transfomation:
xml -f -s del_authpassword.xsl -o imp_log/portal_users.xml imp_log/temp_users.xmlWhere :
imp_log/portal_users.xml is the final file without authpassword tags
imp_log/temp_users.xml is the input file with the authpassword tags that can not be imported.
Part 4 : LDAPADD
The typical commands to do this operation look like this:
ldapadd -h $OID_HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w $IAS_PASSWORD -c -X portal_group.xml
ldapadd -h $OID_HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w $IAS_PASSWORD -c -X portal_users.xmlTake care about the following points
Ldapadd uses the option ' -c '. Existing users/groups are generating an error. The option -c allows continuing and ignoring these errors. Whatever, the errors should be checked to see if it is just existing entries.
A sample script to import the 2 XML files given in the step 5 - import the users and groups (optional) of the import script.
Part 5 : Update the GUID/DN
In Portal 9.0.4, the update of the GUID is taken care by PTLCONFIG during the import. (Import step 7)
D. Example script for export
Here is a example script that combines the 3 steps.
Depending of you need, you will :
or execute all the steps
or just execute the 1rst one (export of the database users). It will be enough you just want to login with the portal user on the production instance.
if your portal repository resides in a database 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2, please read this
you can download all the scripts here, Attachment 276688.1:1
Do not forget to modify the script to your need and mostly add the list of users like explained in point A above.

The script is done to run from the midtier.
Step 2 - Install IAS in a new machine (PROD)
A. Installation
This note does not distinguish if Portal is sharing the same database than Single-Sign On and OID. For simplicity, I will speak only about 1 database. But I could also create a second infrastructure database just for the portal repository. This way is better for production system, because the Portal repository is only product used in the 2nd database. Having 2 separate databases allows taking easily backup of the portal repository.
On the production machine, you need to install a fresh install of IAS 9.0.4. Take care to use :
the same IAS patchset 9.0.4.1, 9.0.4.2, ...on the middle-tier and infrastruture than in development
and same characterset than in development (or UTF8)
The result will be 2 ORACLE_HOMES and 1 infrastructure database:
the ORACLE_HOME of the infrastructure (SID:infra904)
the ORACLE_HOME of the midtier (SID:ias904)
an infrastructure database (SID:asdb)
The empty new Portal install should work fine before to go to the next step.
B. About tablespaces (optional)
The size of the tablespace of the production should match the one of the Developement machine. If not, the tablespace will autoextend. It is not really a concern, but it is slow. You should modify the tablespaces for to have as much space on prod and dev.
Also, it is safer to check that there is enough free space on the hard disk to import in the database.
To modify the tablespace size, you can use Oracle Entreprise Manager console,
On Unix, . oraenv
infra904oemapp dbastudio
On NT Start/ Programs/ Oracle Application server - infra904 / Enterprise Manager Console
Launch standalone
Choose the portal database (typically asdb.domain.com)
Connect with a DBA user, sys or system
Click Storage/Tablespaces
Change the size of the PORTAL, PORTAL_DOC, PORTAL_LOGS, PORTAL_IDX tablespaces
C. Backup
It could be a good idea to take a backup of the MIDTIER and INFRASTRUCTURE Oracle Homes at that point to allow retesting the import process if it fails for any reason as much as you want without needing to reinstall everything.
Step 3 - Import in production (on PROD)
The following script is a sample of an Unix script that combines all the steps to import a portal repository to the production machine.
To import a portal reporistory and his users and group in OID, you need to do 8 things:
Stop the midtier to avoid errors while dropping the portal schema
SQL*Plus with Portal
Drop the 4 default portal schemas
Create the portal users with the same passwords than the just deleted users and give them grants (you need to create your own custom shemas too if you have some).
Import the dump file
Import the users and groups into OID (optional)
SQL*Plus with SYS : Post import changes
Recompile everything in the database
Reassign the imported jobs to portal
SQL*Plus with Portal : Post import changes
Recreate the Portal intermedia indexes
Correct an import errror on wwsrc_preference$
Make additional post import changes, by updating some portal tables, and replacing the development hostname, port or domain by the production ones.
Rewire the portal repository with ptlconfig -dad portal
Restart the midtier
Here is a sample script to do this on Unix. You will need to adapt the script to your needs.

Each step can generate his own errors due to a lot of factors. It is better to run the import step by step the first time.
Do not forget to check the output of log files created during the various steps of the import:
imp_log/drop_create_user.log
Spool when dropping and recreating the portal users
imp_log/import.log Import log file when importing the portal_exp.dmp file
imp_log/sys_post_changes.log
Spool when making post changes with SYS
imp_log/portal_post_changes.log
Spool when making post changes with PORTAL
imp_log/ptlconfig.log
Log file of ptconfig when rewiring the midtier
Step 4 - Test
A. Check the log files
B. Test the website and see if it works fine.
Step 5 - take a backup
Take a backup of all ORACLE_HOME and DATABASES to prevent all hardware problems. You need to copy:
All the files of the 2 ORACLE_HOME
And all the database files.
Step 6 - Additional steps
Here are some additional steps.
SSO external application ( that are part of the orasso schema and not imported yet )
Page URL items ( they seems to store the full URL ) - included in imp_portal_schema.sh
Web Providers ( the URL needs to be changed ) - included in imp_portal_schema.sh
Text items edited with the RTF editor in IE and containing links - included in imp_portal_schema.sh
Most of them are taken care by the "step 8 - post import changes". Except the first one.
1. SSO import
This script imports only Portal and the users/groups of OID. Not the list of the external application contained in the orasso user.
In Portal 9.0.4, there is a script called SSOMIG that resides in $INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin and allows to move :
Definitions and user data for external applications
Registration URLs and tokens for partner applications
Connection information used by OracleAS Discoverer to access various data sources
See:
Oracle® Application Server Single Sign-On Administrator's Guide 10g (9.0.4) Part Number B10851-01
14. Exporting and Importing Data
2. Page items: the page URL items store the full URL.
This is Bug 2661805 fixed in Portal 9.0.2.6.
This following work-around is implemented in post import step of imp_portal_schema.sh
-- page url items
update wwv_things
set title_link=replace( title_link, 'dev.dev_domain.com:7778', 'prod.prod_domain.com:7778' )
where title_link like '%$DEV_HOSTNAME:$DEV_PORT%'
2. Web Providers
The URL to the Web providers needs also change. Like for the Page items, they contain the full path of the webserver.
Or you can get the list of the URLs to change with this query
select name, http_url from PORTAL.WWPRO_PROVIDERS$ where http_url like '%';
This following work-around is implemented in post import step of imp_portal_schema.sh
-- web providers
update wwpro_providers$
set http_url=replace( http_url, 'dev.dev_domain.com:7778', 'prod.prod_domain.com:7778' )
where http_url like '%$DEV_HOSTNAME:$DEV_PORT%'
4. The production and development machine do not share the same domain
If the domain of the production and the development are not the same, the DN (name in LDAP) of all users needs to change.
Let's say from
dc=dev_domain,dc=com -> dc=prod_domain,dc=com
1. before to upload the ldif files. All the strings in the 2 ldifs files that contain 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com', have to be replaced by 'dc=prod_domain,dc=com'
2. in the wwsec_group$ and wwsec_person$ tables in portal, the DN need to change too.
This following work-around is implemented in post import step of imp_portal_schema.sh
-- groups (dn)
update wwsec_group$
set dn=replace( dn, 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com', 'dc=prod_domain,dc=com' )
update wwsec_group$
set dn_hash = wwsec_api_private.get_dn_hash( dn )
-- users (dn)
update wwsec_person$
set dn=replace( dn, 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com', 'dc=prod_domain,dc=com' )
update wwsec_person$
set dn_hash = wwsec_api_private.get_dn_hash( dn)
5. Text items with HTML links
Sometimes people stores full URL inside their text items, it happens mostly when they use link with the RichText Editor in IE .
This following work-around is implemented in post import step in imp_portal_schema.sh
-- html links created by the RTF editor inside text items
update wwv_text
set text=replace( text, 'dev.dev_domain.com:7778', 'prod.prod_domain.com:7778' )
where text like '%$DEV_HOSTNAME:$DEV_PORT%'
6. OID Custom password policy
It happens quite often that the people change the password policy of the OID server. The reason is that with the default policy, the password expires after 60 days. If so, do not forget to make the same changes in the new installation.
PROBLEMS
1. Import log has some errors
A. EXP-00091 -Exporting questionable statistics
You can ignore this error.
B. IMP-00017 - WWSRC_PREFERENCE$
When importing, there is one import error:
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 921:
"ALTER TABLE "WWSRC_PREFERENCE$" ADD "
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 921 encountered
ORA-00921: unexpected end of SQL commandThe primary key is not created. You can create it with this commmand
in SQL*Plus with the user portal.. Then readd the missing VPD policy.
alter table "WWSRC_PREFERENCE$" add constraint wwsrc_preference_pk
primary key (subscriber_id, id)
using index wwsrc_preference_idx1
begin
DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY ('', 'WWSRC_PREFERENCE$', 'WEBDB_VPD_POLICY',
'', 'webdb_vpd_sec', 'select, insert, update, delete', TRUE,
static_policy=>true);
end ;
Step 8 in the script "imp_portal_schema.sh" take care of this. This can also possibly be solved by the
C. IMP-00017 - WWDAV$ASL
. importing table "WWDAV$ASL"
Note: table contains ROWID column, values may be obsolete 113 rows importedThis error is normal, the table really contains a ROWID column.
D. IMP-00041 - Warning: object created with compilation warnings
This error is normal too. The packages giving these error have
dependencies on package not yet imported. A recompilation is done
after the import.
E. ldapadd error 'cannot add add entries containing authpasswords'
# ldap_add: DSA is unwilling to perform
# ldap_add: additional info: You cannot add entries containing authpasswords.
"authpasswords" are automatically generated values from the real password of the user stored in userpassword. These values do not have to be exported from ldap.
In the import script, I remove the additional tag with a XSL stylesheet 'del_authpassword.xsl'. See above.
F. IMP-00017: WWSTO_SESSION$
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 2298:
"ALTER TABLE "WWSTO_SESSION$" ENABLE CONSTRAINT "WWSTO_SESS_FK1""
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 2298 encountered
ORA-02298: cannot validate (PORTAL.WWSTO_SESS_FK1) - parent keys not found
Here is a work-around for the problem. I will normally integrate it in a next version of the scripts.
SQL> delete from WWSTO_SESSION_DATA$;
7690 rows deleted.
SQL> delete from WWSTO_SESSION$;
1073 rows deleted.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> ALTER TABLE "WWSTO_SESSION$" ENABLE CONSTRAINT "WWSTO_SESS_FK1";
Table altered.
G. IMP-00017 - ORACLE error 1 - DBMS_JOB.ISUBMIT
This error can appear during the import when the import database is not empty and is already customized for some reasons. For example, you export from an infrastructure and you import in a database with a lot of other programs that uses jobs. And unhappily the same job id.
Due to the way the export/import of jobs is done, the jobs keeps their id after the import. And they may conflict.
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 1: "BEGIN DBMS_JOB.ISUBMIT(JOB=>42,WHAT=>'begin execute immediate " "''begin wwutl_cache_sys.process_background_inval; end;'' ; exc" "eption when others then wwlog_api.log(p_domain=> ''utl'', " " p_subdomain=>''cache'', p_name=>''background'', " " p_action=>''process_background_inval'', p_information => ''E" "rror in process_background_inval ''|| sqlerrm);end;', NEXT_DATE=" ">TO_DATE('2004-08-19:17:32:16','YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS'),INTERVAL=>'SYSDATE " "+ 60/(24*60)',NO_PARSE=>TRUE); END;"
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 1 encountered ORA-00001: unique constraint (SYS.I_JOB_JOB) violated
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_JOB", line 97 ORA-06512: at line 1
Solutions:
1. use a fresh installed database,
2. Due that the jobs conflicting are different because it happens only in custom installation, there is no clear rule. But you can
recreate the jobs lost after the import with other_ids
and/or change the job id of the other program before to import. This type of commands can help you (you need to do it with SYS)
select * from dba_jobs;
update dba_jobs set job=99 where job=52;
commit
2. Import in a RAC environment
Be aware of the Bug 2479882 when the portal database is in a RAC database.
Bug 2479882 : NEEDED TO BOUNCE DB NODES AFTER INSTALLING PORTAL 9.0.2 IN RAC NODE3. Intermedia
After importing a environment, the intermedia indexes are invalid. To correct the error you need to run in SQL*Plus with Portal
start $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/wws/inctxgrn.sql
start $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/wws/ctxcrind.sql
But $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/wws/inctxgrn.sql is missing in IAS 9.0.4.0. This is Bug 3536937. Fixed in 9041. The missing scripts are contained in the downloadable zip file (exp_schema904.zip : Attachment 276688.1:1 ), directory sql. This means that practically in 9040, you have to run
start sql/inctxgrn.sql
start $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/wws/ctxcrind.sql
In the import script, it is done in the step 6 - recreate Portal Intermedia indexes.
You can not WA the problem without the scripts. Running ctxcrind.sql alone does not work. You will have this error:
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWERR_API_EXCEPTION", line 164
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWV_CONTEXT", line 1035
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWERR_API_EXCEPTION", line 164
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWV_CONTEXT", line 476
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-12603: CTXSYS does not own user datastore procedure: WWSBR_THING_CTX_69
ORA-06512: at line 13
4. ptlconfig
If you try to run ptlconfig simply after an import you will get an error:
Problem processing Portal instance: Configuring HTTP server settings : Installing cache data : SQL exception: ERROR: ORA-23421: job number 32 is not a job in the job queue
This is because the import done by user SYS has imported the PORTAL jobs to the SYS schema in place of portal. The solution is to run
update dba_jobs set LOG_USER='PORTAL', PRIV_USER='PORTAL' where schema_user='PORTAL';
In the import script, it is done in the step 8 - post import changes.
5. WWC-41417 - invalid credentials.
When you try to login you get:
Unexpected error encountered in wwsec_app_priv.process_signon (User-Defined Exception) (WWC-41417)
An exception was raised when accessing the Oracle Internet Directory: 49: Invalid credentials
Details
Error:Operation: dbms_ldap.simple_bind_s
OID host: machine.domain.com
OID port number: 4032
Entry DN: orclApplicationCommonName=PORTAL,cn=Portal,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext. (WWC-41743)Solution:
- run secupoid.sql
- rerun ptlconfig
This problem has been seen after using ptlasst in place of ptlconfig.
6. EXP-003 with a database 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2
In fact, the DB format of imp/exp has changed in 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2. The EXP-3 error only occurs when the export from the 9.2.0.5.0 or 10.1.0.2.0 database is done with a lower release export utility, e.g. 9.2.0.4.0.
Due to the way this note is written, the imp/exp utility used is the one of the midtier (9014), if your portal resides in a 9.2.0.5 database, it will not work. To work-around the problem, there are 2 solutions:
Change the script so that it uses the exp and imp command of database.
Make a change to the 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2 database to make them compatible with previous version. The change is to modify a database internal view before to export/import the data.
A work-around is given in Bug 3784697
1. Make a note of the export definition of exu9tne from
$OH/rdbms/admin/catexp.sql
2. Copy this to a new file and add "UNION ALL select * from sys.exu9tneb" to the end of the definition
3. Run this as sys against the DB to be exported.
4. Export as required
5. Put back the original definition of exu9tne
eg: For 9204 the workaround view would be:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW exu9tne (
tsno, fileno, blockno, length) AS
SELECT ts#, segfile#, segblock#, length
FROM sys.uet$
WHERE ext# = 1
UNION ALL
select * from sys.exu9tneb
7. EXP-00006: INTERNAL INCONSISTENCY ERROR
This is Bug 2906613.
The work-around given in this bug is the following:
- create the following view, connected as sys, before running export:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW exu8con (
objid, owner, ownerid, tname, type, cname,
cno, condition, condlength, enabled, defer,
sqlver, iname) AS
SELECT o.obj#, u.name, c.owner#, o.name,
decode(cd.type#, 11, 7, cd.type#),
c.name, c.con#, cd.condition, cd.condlength,
NVL(cd.enabled, 0), NVL(cd.defer, 0),
sv.sql_version, NVL(oi.name, '')
FROM sys.obj$ o, sys.user$ u, sys.con$ c,
sys.cdef$ cd, sys.exu816sqv sv, sys.obj$ oi
WHERE u.user# = c.owner# AND
o.obj# = cd.obj# AND
cd.con# = c.con# AND
cd.spare1 = sv.version# (+) AND
cd.enabled = oi.obj# (+) AND
NOT EXISTS (
SELECT owner, name
FROM sys.noexp$ ne
WHERE ne.owner = u.name AND
ne.name = o.name AND
ne.obj_type = 2)
The modification of exu8con simply adds support for a constraint type that had not previously been supported by this view. There is no negative impact.
8. WWSBR_DOC_CTX_54 is invalid
After the recompilation of the package, one package remains invalid (in sys_post_changes.log):
INVALID_OBJECT_AFTER
1
select owner, object_name from all_objects where status='INVALID'
CTXSYS WWSBR_DOC_CTX_54
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure WWSBR_DOC_CTX_54
(rid in rowid, bilob in out NOCOPY blob)
is begin PORTAL.WWSBR_CTX_PROCS.DOC_CTX(rid,bilob);end;
This object is not used anymore by portal. The error can be ignored. The procedure can be removed too. This is Bug 3559731.
9. You do not have permission to perform this operation. (WWC-44131)
It seems that there are problems if
- groups on the production machine are not residing in the default place in OID,
- and that the group creation base and group search base where changed.
After this, the cloning of the repository work without problem. But it seems that the command 'ptlconfig -dad portal' does not reset the GUID and DN of the groups correctly. I have not checked this yet.
The solution seems to use the script given in the 9.0.2 Note 228516.1. And run group_sec.sql to reset all the DN and GUID in the copied instance.
10. Invalid Java objects when exporting from a 9.x database and importing in a 10g database
If you export from a 9.x database and import in a 10g database, after running utlrp.sql, 18 Java objects will be invalid.
select object_name, object_type from user_objects where status='INVALID'

11. Import : IMP-00003: ORACLE error 30510 encountered
When importing Portal 9.0.4.x, it could be that the import of the database side produces an error ORA-30510.The new perl script work-around the issue in the portal_post_import.sql script. But not the BASH scripts. If you use the BASH scripts, after the import, please run this command manually in SQL*Plus logged as portal.

12. Exporting from a 9.0.1 database and import in a 9.2.0.5+ or 10g DB
It could be that when exporting from a 9.0.1 database to a 10g database that the java classes do not get compiled correctly. The following errors are seen
ORA-29534: referenced object PORTAL.oracle/net/www/proto/https/HttpsURLConnection could not be resolved

Main Differences with Portal 9.0.2
For the persons used to this technics in Portal 9.0.2, you could be interested to read the main differences with the same note for Portal 9.0.2
Portal 9.0.2
Portal 9.0.4
Cutter database
Portal 9.0.2 can be part of an infrastructure database or in a custom external database.
In Portal 9.0.2, the portal schema is imported in an empty database.
Portal 9.0.4 can only be installed in a 'Cutter database', a database created with RepCA or OUI containing always OID, DCM and so on...
In Portal 9.0.4, the portal schema is imported in an 'Cutter database' (new)
group_sec.sql
group_sec.sql is used to correct the GUIDs of OID stored in Portal
ptlconfig -dad portal -oid is used to correct the GUIDs of OID stored in Portal (new)
1 script
The import / export are divided by several steps with several scripts
The import script is done in one step
Additional steps are included in the script
This requires to know the hostname and port of the original development machine. (new)
Import
The steps are:
creation of an empty database
creation of the users with password=username
import
The steps are:
creation of an IAS 10g infrastructure DB (repca or OUI)
deletion of new portal schemas (new)
creation of the users with the same password than the schemas just dropped.
import
DAD
The dad needed to be changed
The passwords are not changed, the dad does not need to be changed.
Bugs
In portal 9.0.2, 2 bugs were workarounded by change_host.sh
In Portal 9.0.4, some tables additional tables needs to be updated manually before to run ptlasst. This is #Bug:3762961#.
export of LDAP
The export is done in LDIF files. If the prod and the dev have different domain, it is quite difficult to change the domain name in these file due to the line wrapping at 78 characters.
The export is done in XML files, in the DSML format (new). It is a lot easier to change the XML files if the domain name is different from PROD to DEV.
Download
You have to cut and paste the scripts
The scripts are attached to the note. Just donwload them.
Rewiring
9.0.2 uses ptlasst.
ptlasst.csh -mode MIDTIER -i custom -s $PORTAL_USER -sp $PORTAL_PASSWORD -c $PORTAL_HOSTNAME:$PORTAL_DB_PORT:$PORTAL_SERVICE_NAME -sdad $PORTAL_DAD -o orasso -op $ORASSO_PASSWORD -odad orasso -host $MIDTIER_HOSTNAME -port $MIDTIER_HTTP_PORT -ldap_h $INFRA_HOSTNAME -ldap_p $OID_PORT -ldap_w $IAS_PASSWORD -pwd $IAS_PASSWORD -sso_c $INFRA_HOSTNAME:$INFRA_DB_PORT:$INFRA_SERVICE_NAME -sso_h $INFRA_HOSTNAME -sso_p $INFRA_HTTP_PORT -ultrasearch -oh $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME -mc false -mi true -chost $MIDTIER_HOSTNAME -cport_i $WEBCACHE_INV_PORT -cport_a $WEBCACHE_ADM_PORT -wc_i_pwd $IAS_PASSWORD -emhost $INFRA_HOSTNAME -emport $EM_PORT -pa orasso_pa -pap $ORASSO_PA_PASSWORD -ps orasso_ps -pp $ORASSO_PS_PASSWORD -iasname $IAS_NAME -verbose -portal_only
9.0.4 uses ptlconfig (new)
ptlconfig -dad portal
Environment variables
A lot of environment variables are needed
Just 3 environment variables are needed:
- password of SYS
- password of IAS,
- ORACLE_HOME of the Midtier
All the rest is found in iasconfig.xml and LDAP (new)
TO DO
- Check if the orclcommonapplication name fits SID.hostname
- Check what gives the import of a portal30 upgraded schema inside a schema named portal
- Explain how to copy the portal*.dbf files in place of export/import and the limitation of tra

Why does this class not read and write at same time???

I had another thread where i was trying to combine two class files together
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5146796
I managed to do it myself but when i run the file it does not work right. If i write a file then try and open the file it says there are no records in the file, but if i close the gui down and open the file everything get read in as normal can anybody tell me why?

Sure you can read and write at the same time. But normally you would be reading from one place and writing to another place.
I rather regret avoiding the OP's earlier post asking how to combine two classes. I looked at the two classes posted and realized the best thing to do was actually to break them into more classes. But I also realized it was going to be a big job explaining why and how, and I just don't have the patience for that sort of thing.
So now we have a Big Ball Of Tar™ and I feel partly responsible.

Windows 7 install stops at "CD/DVD driver not found"

When trying to install Windows 7 with boot camp, all goes well until it stops and gives me the "CD/DVD driver not found". I have a mid 2010 Mac Pro with a 500 GB SSD drive. I have burned a DVD at 1X from a iso file.
Thanks

Can you verify the MD5/SHA1 of the DVD with the ISO using OS X 'openssl md5' or the M$ FCIV tool? The source of your ISO should be able to provide MD5/SHA1.
OS X Example
openssl md5 ~/Desktop/GRMCPRXVOL_EN_DVD.cdr
MD5(/Users/MyName/Desktop/GRMCPRXVOL_EN_DVD.cdr)= 977f4f0f1400be91855789213e07b031

External hard drive for my Mac and PC

I recently bought a 15in MBP. I have been using an external hard drive to store my music using a PC's itunes. When I connected it to my MBP it didnt recognize it. So i put everything back on to my PC, and used the now empty hard drive as the device for my Time Machine. No when I connect the external hard drive to the PC, it doesnt recognize it. So now I cant transfer my music back onto my external hard drive and use it with my MBP. I need help!!!
Will I have to buy an all new external hard drive to put my music on and then use it for my MBP? Do I have to buy a specific brand and will it have to be formateed for Mac initially. If so, will it work on a PC? I just need advice.

For both the PC and Mac to recognise the hard drive, it has to be formatted as FAT or FAT32. Macs can read, but not write NTFS drives (which is the standard format for PC/Windows Vista/7); Windows can't read or write Mac OS formatted drives (which is what Time Machine requires)
Empty the drive, and reformat it in Windows as FAT32. There are some limitations: FAT32 won't allow an individual file large than 2GB, which may a problem if you store full movies in iTunes. But it will work.
If you're not happy to do that, there is software such as Macdrive for Windows that illl allow Win machines to deal with Mac formatted drives. I guess there are equivalents for the Mac to write to NTFS too

Moving photos and music from iPod to Mac

I have a MacBook and my hard drive just died. I was wondering if I could move my photos and music that are currently on my iPod back on to my mac's new hard drive. I had the box in iTunes checked that said store full resoultion photos on iPod after enabling disk use, but I currently don't have disc use enabled. Could I enable it and then sync the photos and music back?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Changing to manual will also enable the iPod for disc use: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
