Structure Suggestions for International Sites
The current CQ implementation suggests that you lay out international sites by language.
So you have your main site foo and beneath it would be en, de, es to represent all the different languages that the site would be in. Once you really start to get international this structure starts to fall apart. Spanish in Spain is different then the Spanish in Mexico and the French in Africa is different then the French spoken in Canada.
So we are considering a structure as follows:
content/foo
ca
en
fr
mxes
eses
Any feedback from others over their implementations, pro's and con's would be appreciated.

Hi Jason,
you can name the site whatever you want. To my knowledge importat thing in terms of multi-language support is the site language specified in properties. You may not see the difference in built-in languages (de, fr, es, ...) but once you try to switch to something that is not there out of the box and use the translator to manage keywords you will see the difference. If you have issues with EN-UK and US and others I would go with structure that Rudy pointed out
/Site
/English(US)
/English(Canada)
and it is up to you if you use short iso codes or longer description. Just make sure that you specify the site language in site properties (advanced tab)
Hope this helps a little.

DNS Setting for internal sites
Hello -
I've had terrible problems with my internet connection recently. No internet connection = no DNS (using Google) and therefore I can't even access sites which are hosted within my own network.
Could anyone talk me through adding DNS references to internal sites on SLS ?
My set up :
ADSL modem (bridge mode) into Airport Express which runs DHCP / NAT
SLS connected to Airport which has DNS server already running.
changeip -checkhostname returns
Primary address = 10.0.1.2
Current HostName = xx.xxx.ltd.uk
DNS HostName = xx.xxx.ltd.uk (changed these entries)
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
My domain name is registered with an external supplier - and set to point to my static IP address.
Thanks for any help !
AndrewOne thing that did help me though - and this may be obvious to you, but I had problems with Server admin crashing. Changing the DNS server in network preferences on the server itself and the client I was working on to a public DNS helped. Guess that should be pretty obvious though.
If things get wonky, I usually try to run Server Admin directly on the target server box.
Am I safe to reference the DNS server on the client now as dns.mydomain.com ? ie - if that is where the client is getting it's DNS references from, how does it know where dns.mydomain.com points to before it looks it up ?!
DNS servers are referenced by IP address, not by host name. Until the DNS server is available, the DNS names won't work; a bootstrapping problem.
As for testing the server, you can use the dig command to test.
+dig @ip.addr.dns.server whatever+
Also - I am using an Airport Base Station for DHCP / NAT - but can't see how I can specify a DNS server so that all clients receive it automatically ? (This is fine for clients that don't leave the office, but a pain for laptops)

Directory structure suggestions, for keeping tidy classpath
Suggestions for setting up my directory (learning area, devel area etc.)
ok, so this classpath thing seems to have the potential to make a real mess�can anyone suggest how I might alter my directory to limit the numberof additions I have to make to my classpath variable?
presently I have a directory off of my root for the various books I use:
C:\jJavaJunkYard < txtbook
C:\jTextBookDL < txtbook
C:\jJavaCoreFundamentals < txtbook
C:\jTheJavaTutorial < txtbook
C:\jThinkingInJava < txtbook
C:\jJavaHowTo < txtbook
C:\jDevl << java development area
C:\jdk14 << java exe & doc
C:\jdkLanguageSpecDoc << java lang specifications
and of course under each txtbook, I have
ch1, ch2,ch3� etc.
how can I set up my directory so that my classpath does not get too messy?that idea kinda scares me... i have probably thousands
of files...
but if no one else bothers to answer...
you'll get the dukes...
thank you for bothering to answerThousands of files? Are these separate classes which you have created? If so you should consider organizing these files by package. (I hope I am understanding your question as you meant it).
Use the package statement, eg.
package com.accuchekinc.pc5250;to tell the compile where to put the class.
Use the import statement, eg
import com.accuchekinc.pc5250;to retrieve the class by another class which uses it.
Then you only have to make sure that "com" is in one of the folders in the class path statement.
I wholeheartedly agree with the previous suggestion that you use the -classpath (or -cp) parameter of javac.exe and java.exe to establish unique sets of class paths per project.
Good luck. I've been watching your topic for ideas a well. -
Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1 for Internal Order
Hi,
During Internal order settlement through KO88 I am getting this error as :
Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1
Diagnosis :
During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters). Cost element 430500 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure K1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a settlement cost element.
Procedure :
Possible solutions are as follows:
o If the posting under cost element 430500 was made to the sender because of an incorrect entry, and you can reverse the posting, and do not need to update the allocation structure. You only need to reverse the incorrectly assigned posting before repeating the settlement. Exception: For an investment measure with a line item settlement, you need to extend the allocation structure, even after the reversal.
o If the posting was made correctly, you can do the following:
a) You can assign a different allocation structure to the sender: In the master data maintenance for the sender, choose
"Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters" and then enter a different allocation structure. If necessary, also check whether the correct allocation structure is entered in the settlement profile. The allocation structure is defaulted in the settlement profile when you create sender master data or when you maintain the settlement rule.
- You can update allocation structure K1
The same configuration in Development Server there is no error but problem occurs in Quality server. Here the process is Internal Order creation - Creation of Reservation through MB21- Goods Issue against reservation through MB1A and finally settlement through KO88. During settlement this error occur. In configuration setting of allocation structure under Internal Order I have mentioned only revenue settlement (as per business) against assignments. Under source mentioned cost element group and under settlement cost elment Receiver Cat is "CTR" and tick "By Cost Element".
During MB1A i.e, goods issue accounting entry is generated as
81(Dr). 430500 Constimptuion Saprae and Stores
99(Cr). 310411 Inventory Machinery and Spare.
During settlement this debit figure should credit. But not allowiing to credit. Even in configuration under settlement cost element if I remove the tick of "By cost element" and mention secondary gl account whose cost element category is 21, still showing the same error in QA server. What may be the probabale solution ? Even if i remove allocation structure K1 from settlement profile 20 still same error exist. How this link gets during settlment inspite of removing allocation structure from settlement profile...
NB.. COPA is not implemented in our company. So PA structure should not arrise here....
Thanks & regards,
Samrat
Edited by: Samrat Roy on Aug 30, 2010 7:28 PMHi Samrat,
The issue is very simple.. Cost element 430500 is posted in your IO...
While settling you have 2 options... Either you can credit the original GL account 430500.. This happens when you tick "By Cost element".. This you have done already...
2nd option is not to tick "By Cost element" and assign a secondary cost ele category 21...
But for any of these options to work, you have to include GL 430500 in the "source"... The above 2 options apply only to those GL accounts which are mentioned in the "Source".... for rest of the GL accounts, system gives this error
Include 430500 in your "source" cost ele group.. Error will be resolved

Suggestions for redirecting site during maintenance
We currently have a custom web application running under an OC4J instance within the application server of Oracle Collaboration Suite.
Since our application is "live" 24/7 we are looking for the best way to post user-friendly message during times when we need to update code and restart the OC4J instance. In other words, we would like to post an "Application Unavailable Due to Scheduled Maintenance " message during the time of our upgrades.
We tried to deploy a maintenance page to another OC4J instance with the same context-root as the application. The idea was to shut down the application's OC4J instance and start the maintenance page OC4J instance during times of scheduled maintenance. However, the application server gets confused by the fact that two OC4J instances have the same context-root and crashes.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.Middaymag
Since my post yesterday I think I figured out a way to make the Web Server redirect work. I was attempting to redirect on a 500 error by using an .htaccess file. This actually worked fine for pages that were not redirected to oc4j but not for ones that were.
However, turns out you can specifiy global error pages directly in the httpd.conf file (probably this is obvious to Apache gurus -- I am clearly NOT one). Here is what works for me:
- In httpd.conf I added a line like this: "ErrorDocument 500 /custom500.html"
- in the web root I put my custom500.html
- Restarted the web server
That's it. Now whenever the OC4J instance is down, the system correctly redirects to my custom page. This solution does have a couple limitations which may be obvious but I will mention anyway:
1. The web server has to stay up -- Out scripts that bring the system down for maintenence currently stop everything including the web server so we will have to change them -- no big deal.
2. You can't serve dynamic content. My error page is static HTML in the web root. I guess having said that, there is no reason you couldn't redirect to another OC4J instance if you had a need to serve up dynamic content -- I don't need that.
Hope this helps!

Revert my allowing smtp sasl for external site
Our version is 6.3
Previously we've set the smtp relaying from outside if they could authenticate
the tcp_auth channel was set as follows:
tcp_auth smtp mx single_sys mustsaslserver missingrecipientpolicy 4
and the tcp_local like this:
tcp_local smtp mx single_sys remotehost inner switchchannel identnonenumeric sub
dirs 20 maxjobs 7 pool SMTP_POOL maytlsserver maysaslserver saslswitchchannel
tcp_auth missingrecipientpolicy 0 loopcheck
Now we want to disable smtp connection from outside (to prevent mail relaying cos someone might
guess the password of some users) even with authentication
I tried to change the tcp_auth
to look like this
tcp_auth smtp mx single_sys nosasl nosaslserver missingrecipientpolicy 4
But this didn't work for me ( I tried from outside site to send mail using smtp authentication
and still I was allowed)
Could someone enlighten me on how to take off smtp auth altogether
(I could even take off for internal site as well)
Thanks in advanceYou don't really want to "disable smtp connection from outside", do you? That would mean not receiving any mail from outside.
If you just want to disable SMTP authentication from the outside, then remove "maysaslserver" and "saslswitchchannel tcp_auth" from the tcp_local channel. Those are how SMTP connections coming from outside are allowed to authenticate and then switched to be coming from the tcp_auth channel instead of tcp_local.
You probably have the same issue with the tcp_submit channel, which would normally be messages coming in on port 587. But removing those from the tcp_submit channel would also mean your local users cannot authenticate. Alternatively, you could use your firewall to block connections to port 587 from outside or accomplish similar with the PORT_ACCESS mapping table.
But I really question the wisdom of this whole line of thought. SMTP authentication is a good thing. It improves your overall security. Of course if users have easily guessable passwords, that is a password policy issue. -

You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

No structure could be determined for internal activity
Hi,
When i do the cost estimates (CK11n) for a Finished good, i get the error 'No structure could be determined for internal activity XYZ (Cost Center: ABC)'.
I have maintained prices for the activity & cost center combination in KP26.
Is there any other place i need to check?
Please advise.
Thanks in Advance,
SafiHi,
You need to check if the activity rates are maintained for the Cost center and Activities combination in KP26.
While running the cost estimates (CK11n) go to the itemization view (F6) and verify that the activity costs for the material are Not zero (This would be now Zero for the cost center and activity combination-when error is displayed).
Thanks,

Error CK 694 No structure could be determined for internal activity
Hi everybody
When I do confirmation, I have an error like this: CK 694 No structure could be determined for internal activity
In KP26, I defined plan price for Exactly Cost center and activity, Price indication is 3.
In costing variance
In OPL1, Actual Cost for Activity I choose 1. Plan Price...
In OKTZ, I define Cost Element in Cost Component Structure
I don't use Activity Group.
I don't know how to fix this error. Does anybody help me ? Please
Thanks.
QuangDDDear,
CK11N check the cost component structure for this material
Check whether secondary cost element is assined to that activity.If it is assigned then check cost component structure in IMG where that secondary cost element is assigned or not.

|Short Text |
| No roll storage space of length 1753104 available for internal storage. |
|What happened? |
| Each transaction requires some main memory space to process |
| application data. If the operating system cannot provide any more |
| space, the transaction is terminated. |
|What can you do? |
| |
| Try to find out (e.g. by targetted data selection) whether the |
| transaction will run with less main memory. |
| |
| If there is a temporary bottleneck, execute the transaction again. |
| - |
| |
| If the error persists, ask your system administrator to check the |
| following profile parameters: |
| |
| o ztta/roll_area (1.000.000 - 15.000.000) |
| Classic roll area per user and internal mode |
| usual amount of roll area per user and internal mode |
| o ztta/roll_extension (10.000.000 - 500.000.000) |
| Amount of memory per user in extended memory (EM) |
| o abap/heap_area_total (100.000.000 - 1.500.000.000) |
| Amount of memory (malloc) for all users of an application |
| server. If several background processes are running on |
| one server, temporary bottlenecks may occur. |
| Of course, the amount of memory (in bytes) must also be |
| available on the machine (main memory or file system swap). |
| Caution: |
| The operating system must be set up so that there is also |
| enough memory for each process. Usually, the maximum address |
| space is too small. |
| Ask your hardware manufacturer or your competence center |
| about this. |
| In this case, consult your hardware vendor |
| abap/heap_area_dia: (10.000.000 - 1.000.000.000) |
| Restriction of memory allocated to the heap with malloc |
| for each dialog process. |
| Parameters for background processes: |
| abap/heap_area_nondia: (10.000.000 - 1.000.000.000) |
| Restriction of memory allocated to the heap with malloc |
| for each background process. |
| Other memory-relevant parameters are: |
| em/initial_size_MB: (35-1200) |
| Extended memory area from which all users of an |
| application server can satisfy their memory requirement. |
| Note which actions and input led to the error. |

Suggestions for setting up external storage for video editing please?
I am just starting up as a one-man video-editing business, using a 24 inch iMac running Snow Leopard, with Final Cut Studio. I have realised I'll need an external hard drive for HD footage, and I also need to get some back-up solution in place. Looking for speedy i/o, I would like to connect via the ethernet port (if only eSata was included in the iMac, eh!)
I've been planning to get a Drobo, but looking around the forums I see that people say it's too slow for using as a working drive to keep all my source footage, so I've been looking at the G-tech 4 Tb, as it says it is designed for media-content production. Does anyone know if I could use two of the drives for working from and two as back up? Or would it be better to keep back-up entirely seperate, and get a Drobo for that for the G-tech to back up to?
But I am also wondering whether a Mac Mini could be a worthwhile addition to this set up? I find myself sitting around waiting for rendering to complete on clips in my timeline (not to mention exporting to Quicktime conversion!), and I wondered if I put a Mac mini with Xserve installed (Apple store offers this with two 500gb hard drives inside), maybe I could farm the rendering out to the mini while I get on with editing on my iMac? That would require two installations of FCP, which I thought was allowed, but just today in a forum I saw that one would have to be a laptop... anyone have any suggestions for getting rendering done without stopping FCP from doing other things simultaneously?
Also I don't know if that arrangement is even feasible... I see all these things like Xsan and Artbox... as a one workstation editing suite, does FCP handle all the dataflows for external working drive and external back ups okay without having to introduce more controllers?
And can anyone explain to me how I could set up an ethernet connection to an external hard drive, or does that require the extra controllers mentioned above? I've seen it said that you can do it via ethernet, but haven't seen how you can actually go about doing it.
Thanks for overlooking my newbie quality, any answers received with humble gratitude!
Cheers, SydHi there,
as NLEdit said, there will be loads of answers to this.
IMO i'd avoid drobo like the plague. G tech drives have served me incredibly well working on a huge variety of broadcast projects (just over the water from you in Bristol), I've had no probs with FW800 when using DVCproHD, pro res is ok, sometimes a little slow with multiple layers and of course it eats up storage space. so I'd go for 2 4tb drives, keep the backup one in a different location.
one tip that has saved me countless times is to format them as follows:-
mac os extended (not journalled)
create 2 partitions
partition 1 - make this small (1gig) and call it "drive a - do not use"
partition 2 - the rest of available storage and call "drive a"
this is because the boot sector of the drive is within the first partition and with this method if it goes down it can be re erased without losing all your footage.
If you call your backup drive the exact same name and have the exact same folder structure, you will not have to relink if you get a problem.
Ignore getting a mac mini for rendering, won't help at all in FCP. instead I would make every attempt you can at buying a mac pro rather than an imac. much more expansion/speed possibilities and a more robust solution.
best of luck

LDAP design question for multiple sites
LDAP design question for multiple sites
I'm planning to implement the Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 2005Q1 for replacing the NIS.
Currently we have 3 sites with different NIS domains.
Since the NFS over the WAN connection is very unreliable, I would like to implement as follows:
1. 3 LDAP servers + replica for each sites.
2. Single username and password for every end user cross those 3 sites.
3. Different auto_master, auto_home and auto_local maps for three sites. So when user login to different site, the password is the same but the home directory is different (local).
So the questions are
1. Should I need to have 3 domains for LDAP?
2. If yes for question 1, then how can I keep the username password sync for three domains? If no for question 1, then what is the DIT (Directory Infrastructure Tree) or directory structure I should use?
3. How to make auto map work on LDAP as well as mount local home directory?
I really appreciate that some LDAP experta can light me up on this project.Thanks for your information.
My current environment has 3 sites with 3 different NIS domainname: SiteA: A.com, SiteB:B.A.com, SiteC:C.A.com (A.com is our company domainname).
So everytime I add a new user account and I need to create on three NIS domains separately. Also, the password is out of sync if user change the password on one site.
I would like to migrate NIS to LDAP.
I want to have single username and password for each user on 3 sites. However, the home directory is on local NFS filer.
Say for userA, his home directory is /user/userA in passwd file/map. On location X, his home directory will mount FilerX:/vol/user/userA,
On location Y, userA's home directory will mount FilerY:/vol/user/userA.
So the mount drive is determined by auto_user map in NIS.
In other words, there will be 3 different auto_user maps in 3 different LDAP servers.
So userA login hostX in location X will mount home directory on local FilerX, and login hostY in location Y will mount home directory on local FilerY.
But the username and password will be the same on three sites.
That'd my goal.
Some LDAP expert suggest me the MMR (Multiple-Master-Replication). But I still no quite sure how to do MMR.
It would be appreciated if some LDAP guru can give me some guideline at start point.

Suggestions for PSE 11 Organizer
Greetings from a new member. Not sure how to post some usability suggestions for PSE 11 Organizer, but here goes... I realize others have already posted similar comments, which triggered further discussions. However, my intent is just to bring these simple, but to me important, suggestions to the attention of the developers of PSE 11.
I have used PSE on Windows XP starting with PSE 4, then PSE 7, and very recently PSE 11. Earlier this year, I switched to a Mac OS X system and transferred my photos and PSE 11 catalog to PSE 11 on the Mac. I followed the backup/restore instructions on the PSE support site and am mostly quite happy with the results. However, I’m disappointed that the following usability features of PSE 7 organizer are missing in PSE 11 organizer (on both Windows and OS X). Note that I plan to use PSE on OS X exclusively from now on.
In PSE 7, when right clicking on one or more selected photos, the popup menu listed “View photos in full screen”, but it no longer does so in PSE 11. Although Full Screen is available on the View menu, having it on the popup would be even more useful.
In both PSE 7 and PSE 11, that same right-click popup menu lets you REMOVE selected photos from an album. It would be great if the popup menu would also let you ADD selected photos to an existing album.
In PSE 7, I could display the album list simultaneously with folder hierarchy/tree view (there was no folder list view in PSE 7). In PSE 11, the album list is visible only with folder list view. This makes it impossible to drag photos to an album from folder hierarchy view. Please fix PSE to display the album list simultaneously with folder hierarchy view.
I suggest that the default folder view be folder hierarchy (not folder list). Or even better, let the user choose the default folder view in Preferences.
Starting with PSE 4, I organized my thousands of photos in several main folders and hundreds of subfolders. Many subfolders have the same name, and frequently the subfolder name is a date. Because the PSE 11 folder list view doesn’t show the hierarchical context, folder list view is just clutter and completely useless for me. As recommended in other posts, I do intend to start using tags/events/places and other suggested ways to organize my photos. However, this will be in addition to (not instead of) using folders. I like organizing my photos in folders, just as I like organizing my other files (text, spreadsheet, etc.) in folders. Also, categorizing photos via tags, places, events, etc. is not equivalent to, and does not replace, using folders. For me, categorizing in this manner is an additional usability feature to using folders.
Thanks for listening...My own answer will be about :

The fact is that the Organizer has been built historically on a database to manage keywords and categories with some additional tools to enable folder browsing and managing. Note that for other types of applications like word processors or spreadsheets, you have the same choice with using keywords or folder structures.
So, where are we in version 12 ? From what I am reading today, I'll risk a few guesses.
- I am convinced that most people relying like you on folder organization don't use the Organizer or have given up using it.
- A great part of the critiques about the Organizer come about people not understanding the idea of catalogs and categories/keywords (I know that is not your case)
- Anoter great part of the critiques is that the implementation of folder organizing in Elements has aliways been lame and buggy.
What's new in PSE12 is that the folder view has been completely rebuilt. And the result is perceived differently depending on your camp : database or folders...
- For Folder tenants, the result is two-sided. They are happy to have the folder view with all trees back - They don't see the point of the folder list - They are not happy with the new interface based on new categories (people, events...) - They miss the link between albums and folders as you have mentionned
- For database tenants, the main advantage is that a lot of bugs have been corrected and that they can use the folders view and folder list as a secondary tool for organizing. The folder list (a feature I had requested) is a great tool for those wanting to migrate from a folder organization to a database one. Usually, the folder names are significant and enable very fast keywording and constitute a powerful search tool.
- For both camps, the common grudge is the loss of alphanumerical sort order in folder view. I don't care personnally, but I think it's necessary for people working on scans.
So, my wish is that the next version of the Organizer can satisfy people like you,so that much more people use and are happy with the Organizer
Maybe you are looking for
