Subversion serving multiple repositories with systemd startup

Hello.
I'm trying to set up a simple svn server, serving multiple repositories.
I was able to correctly set up single repository using guide from archwiki, now I'm trying to serve multiple repositories.
I've modified the /etc/conf.d/svnserve file to point to parent directory of those repositories, so instead of
-r /path/to/repos/repo1
it reads
-r /path/to/repos
However when I try to start subversion I get the following output
? svnserve.service
Loaded: error (Reason: Is a directory)
Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2014-11-20 21:17:01 CET; 18min ago
Main PID: 24680 (code=killed, signal=TERM)
Now, when I try to start svnserve from shell, using this command
svnserve -d -r /path/to/repos
it starts normally and I am able to access all repositories. Adding and removing -d in /etc/conf.d/svnserve has no effect on error message.
Any thoughts?

The problem has been solved.
The error message:
Loaded: error (Reason: Is a directory)
came from systemctl, specifically from /etc/systemd/system/svnserve.service being a directory.
The fix was to remove that directory
sudo rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/svnserve.service
and enabling/starting svnserve
systemctl enable svnserve
systemctl start svnserve
Hope this will help someone having similar problem.

  • How to handle multiple repositories with 11g

    Hi all,
    this question probably is easy but is right that the only way to manage multiple repositories is to have multiple BIEE 11g installation?
    With old 10g with OC4J having multiple installation was quite simple, but here with all weblogic environment is becoming more complex.
    I have two branches in my organisation, each one has 3 different environments: test, preproduction and production with a different repository for each one of course.
    As I have to meet also High Availabilty requirements I have deployed a two different 2nodes cluster. One cluster has 4 envs and the other one just 2 prods.
    All is installed but I still trying to understand or to find a way just to share some resources as for example weblogic server... may a single weblogic installation manage more BI domains?
    Thanks
    Stefano

    Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I come from a BusinessObjects background where you can have as many universes (metadata layers) as you want on your server. I'm trying to figure out a way to replicate that scenario with OBIEE. We have some databases that are so completely unrelated that it doesn't make sense to me to have them all in one big repository, but I don't want to have multiple servers either.

    Hi,
    Calling function in general is a costly query. And definitely joining with a function 5 times in not an efficient one.
    1. You can populate the results for all parameters in a CTE or table variable or temporary table and join (instead of funtion) for different parameters
    2. Looks like you want fetch the IDs falling to different indicators for the same @Refdate. You can try something like this
    WITH CTE
    AS
    SELECT
    T1.Id ,T1.ColINT_1, T1.ColNVARCHAR_1 collate DATABASE_DEFAULT as ColNVARCHAR_1 ,T1.ColNVARCHAR_2 ,T1.ColSMALLDATETIME_1, T1.ColDECIMAL_1, T1.ColDECIMAL_1, T4.Name
    FROM TABLE2 T2
    JOIN TABLE3 T3
    ON T2.COLFKT3 = T3.Id
    AND T3.ReferenceDate = @RefDate
    AND T3.State != 'Deleted'
    JOIN TABLE4 T4
    ON T2.COLFKT4 = T4.Id AND T4.Name=@indicator
    JOIN TABLE1 T1
    ON T2.COLFKT1=T1.Id
    SELECT * FROM CTE WHERE Name = 'ID#1_0#INDICATOR_X' AND Name = 'ID#1_0#INDICATOR_Y' AND Name = 'ID#1_0#INDICATOR_Z' AND Name = 'ID#1_0#INDICATOR_W' AND Name = 'ID#1_0#INDICATOR_A' AND ReferenceDate = @RefDate.
    Or you can even simplify more depends on your requirement.

  • Multiple repositories in 1 bi server ...with PS catalog....in OBIEE 11g

    Any body attempted to do this ? Having multiple repositories in 1 biserver....with multiple webcatalog used in 2 PS on same machine. This doesn't seem to work in OBIEE11g. Analytics.ear contains lots of new deployment descriptors for web.xml in 11g.

    We did exactly what was stated for 11g. The below 2 urls were used to do it 11g . we have 2 urls
    http://xxxx:9704/analytics (default rep ,catalog)
    http://xxxxx:9704/analytics_appa ( 2nd rep and catalog)
    We can see repositories are loaded online but when we access sometimes it goes to the wrong rpd/webcatalog. Some caching or something is going on from browser.
    Any body attempted this setup ? We have opened a ticket with oracle but no good response.
    Thanks

  • Usage Tracking for BI Server Hosting Multiple Repositories

    Hi all,
    I've got my BI Server hosting two repositories:
    [ REPOSITORY ]
    DemoApp1 = DemoApp1.rpd, DEFAULT;
    DemoApp2 = DemoApp2.rpd;
    And started two Presentation Services connecting to these two repositories respectively, and two web front-ends at /analytics and /analytics2 to display the two different catalogs.
    Next, I enabled usage tracking with direct insert to the following physical table:
    PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME = "OBIEEREP".""."OBIEEREP"."S_NQ_ACCT" ;
    CONNECTION_POOL = "OBIEEREP"."Connection Pool" ;
    Both repositories has the above physical table and connection pool defined. In DemoApp1.rpd, "OBIEEREP"."Connection Pool" points to a database OBIEEDB1, and in DemoApp2.rpd, it points to a database OBIEEDB2.
    But then the problem occurs. All usage tracking data are inserted to OBIEEDB1 only, no matter which web front-end they are from. I tried removing the "DEFAULT" from NQSConfig.ini, but this doesn't help.
    Is there any way to configure BI Server to insert usage tracking data from /analytics to OBIEEDB1, and those from /analytics2 to OBIEEDB2?
    Thanks very much!!!

    HI Kaphenda,
    That's probably just a side-effect of having two repositories. Keep in mind that having multiple repositories and multiple presentation servers is not support by Oracle, so they were not on the hook to modify the Usage Tracking algorithm to write to two different databases. It seems to me like they either didn't anticipate this scenario, or they didn't want to program for this scenario.
    I don't think you have too many options in terms of making OBIEE insert the traffic logs into the appropriate database. However, once the data has been inserted, you can do just about anything you want to it in terms of ETL, triggers, materialized views, etc.
    Here's what I would recommend:
    1) Have the OBIEE usage tracking information logged into a neutral schema.
    2) Write a materialized view in database 1: CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW S_NQ_ACCT AS SELECT * from S_NQ_ACCT@NEUTRAL_SERVER WHERE REPOSITORY_NAME = 'DemoApp1'
    3) Write a materialized view in database 2: CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW S_NQ_ACCT AS SELECT * from S_NQ_ACCT@NEUTRAL_SERVER WHERE REPOSITORY_NAME = 'DemoApp2'
    You can specify the refresh frequency of these materialized views to be as frequent as you want. The great thing about this strategy is that you get the best of all worlds. Each database has the traffic information broken down by their personal RPD. But the neutral schema can provide Global reporting across both repositories which can be very valuable itself.
    Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
    Best regards,
    -Joe

  • SRM MDM with Multiple Repositories and required S&A.

    Hello everyone,
    We are in the planning process to migrate from CCM to MDM. Our current environment has two separate customers running on two separate SAP clients in SRM 5.0 using the internal CCM (one SAP SRM instance, 2 separate SAP clients).
    In MDM it seems the concept of SAP client does not exist but the concept of an MDM Repository. I was thinking that by creating two dfifferent repositories (one for each customer) it would substitue the concept of the internal CCM on each SAP client.
    Can we have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers with the required S&A?
    That is, customer A will logon to MDM to maintain only A's repository. Customer A must not be allowed to access B's repository and viceversa.
    Also, Repository A would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client A, and Repository B would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client B.
    The intention is that each customer will have their own electronic catalog.
    Thank you.
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    The answer to your question is yes, it is possible to have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers (that intend to have different electronic catalogs).
    In fact, I think this would be the best way to separate: 1. data sets, 2. access.
    1. Each MDM repository carries its own data set (like SAP client)
    2. Each MDM repository has its own security (users/passwords, roles, etc.)
    Another consideration (relates to point 1) is bringing data from SAP client (e.g. product master, contracts). Since you have two different SAP clients, managing replicated data from both of them in one MDM repository would be a form of suicide.
    You can have multiple repositories on one MDM server. A common case is when you have a staging (master) repository, and a production (slave) repository. The slave repository is what you show to searching end users; the master repository is for data loads. You synchronize the slave repository with any changes from the master at such time when you're sure the master is good to publish.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Serguei

  • How to start dhclient with systemd at startup? [SOLVED]

    I have eth0 connected to DHCP server and want to use dhclient instead of dhcpcd. How can I start dhclient with systemd? Is there something similar to
    systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth0
    Last edited by mpelikan (2012-12-18 13:43:28)

    dhcpcd comes in package with completed systemd unit (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.service and /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]) by package developer, but dhclient doesn't.
    mpelikan, you should write your own systemd unit for dhclient for yourself using
    1) dhcpcd units as example
    2) wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … vice_files
    3) man page for dhclient to get the right options
    Also I'm sure I saw somewhere an example of dhclient unit but I can't find it now. Anyway, it was not working out-of-box in Arch.
    I've done this previously but then I've realized disadvantages of dhclient (so I've removed it).
    Firstly, I didn't like how it's working in daemon-mode after some testing.
    Secondly, it depends on deprecated net-tools.
    You should try dhcpcd. If it doesn't work, you can make it work by editing configuration files / kernel options (like switching off IPv6 if you think you have an issues with it) or adding some parameters.

  • Mounting multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point on another server

    We have a requirement where in we have multiple solaris servers and each solaris server has a directory with the same name.
    The files in these directories will be different.
    These same name directories on multiple severs has to be mounted to a single directory on another sever.
    We are planning to use NFS, but it seems we can not mount multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point using NFS, and we need to create multiple mount points.
    Is there any way we can achieve this so that all the directories can be mounted to a single mount point?

    You can try to mount all these mount points via NFS in one additional server and then export this new tree again via NFS to all your servers.
    No sure if this works. If this works, then you will have in this case just an additional level in the tree.

  • Selecting a repository when multiple repositories are available

    Hi,
    We are trying to configure access to multiple repositories. We have Two entries in NQSConfig.INI:
    [ REPOSITORY ]
    Repo1 = Repository1.rpd, DEFAULT;
    Repo2 = Repository2.rpd;
    However, there doesn't seem to be any way to select which repository to use when you login. I only see the Subject Areas of Repo1, I can't access anything in Repo2. Is there any configuration files that need to be modify to support the selection of the repository?
    Thanks,
    Stephane.

    Our client needed 3 repositories set up, which dictates 1 Presentation server per repository.
    Here's what I did:
    Installed OAS and OBI (full install) to a single location (Oracle HTTP is not running, but is installed in a separate DMZ with a FW between):
    $HOME/10.1.3.1
    $HOME/OracleBI
    $HOME/OracleBIData
    copied all the repositories to OracleBI/server/Repository.
    Pointed to the repositories in NQSConfig.INI
    All normal, so far... here's the tricky part:
    I created 3 new Virtual IPs and bound them to the physical interface on the server.
    Navigated to OracleBIData/web/config
    copied instanceconfig.xml to:
    - instanceconfig_APP1.xml
    - instanceconfig_APP2.xml
    - instanceconfig_APP3.xml
    where APP# is the name of my apps.
    Modified each instanceconfig_APP#.xml to add:
    <Listener address="VIP1" port="9710">
    where VIP1 is one of the virtual IPs assigned to the server (one VIP per app, so APP1 gets VIP1, APP2 gets VIP2, etc.).
    This allows the same presentation install to start multiple servers (almost).
    The next mod:
    in OracleBI/setup, I copied run-saw.sh to run-all-saw.sh
    The check to see if a sawserver is already running is a crappy one - it just runs:
    ps -ef | grep "user" | grep sawserv
    or something similar, which is garbage, since there is really no reason that the same user can't start multiple Presentation servers on different ports and/or IPs.
    so - I modified run-all-saw.sh... here's a snippet of the "start)" section of the case statement (near the bottom of the script):
    elif test "$pid" ; then
    # Commented echo "Oracle BI Presentation Services is already running."
    echo "Oracle BI Java Host startup initiated."
    echo "Please check '${javahost_logfile}' for Oracle BI Java Host startup details."
    echo "Please go to the '${SADATADIR}/web/log/javahost' directory for Oracle BI Java Host log files."
    start_javahost
    # Added the next line to force a start of the saw server
    start_saw
    ----End Snippet----
    So that forces the saw server to try and start, even if it finds a saw server already running (sure, there are other ways to make that a cleaner check, but I wanted to be minimally invasive for maintenance/upgrade purposes).
    Now, the last step:
    in the $HOME, I created 4 scripts:
    start_saw_APP1.sh
    start_saw_APP2.sh
    start_saw_APP3.sh
    start_saw_ALL.sh
    The start_saw_ALL.sh is the simplest... it just calls the other 3 script in order from APP1 to APP3, with a sleep 5 command in between:
    ----Begin start_saw_ALL.sh----
    $HOME/start_saw_APP1.sh
    sleep 5
    $HOME/start_saw_APP2.sh
    sleep 5
    $HOME/start_saw_APP3.sh
    ----End start_saw_ALL.sh----
    The sleep command gives the presentation server ample time to read the .xml file before slamming in the next file in the list. I tried without the sleep lines, and only the last server instance started up. You might need to adjust these to longer times if you experience issues...
    The start_saw_APP1.sh script is:
    ----Begin start_saw_APP1.sh----
    cp $HOME/OracleBIData/web/config/instanceconfig_APP1.xml $HOME/OracleBIData/web/config/instanceconfig.xml
    $HOME/OracleBI/setup/run-all-saw.sh
    ----End start_saw_APP1.sh----
    so when I start all three, I can do netstat -a | grep 9710, and I see:
    VIP1.9710 LISTENING
    VIP2.9710 LISTENING
    VIP3.9710 LISTENING
    On the Oracle HTTP Server, I deployed the analytics.war to APP1, APP2, APP3, and modified those web.xmls to point to their respective VIP:9710 addresses (APP1's web.xml uses VIP1:9710, APP2 uses VIP2, etc.).
    This allows ONLY port 9710 to be opened in the firewall from the DMZ to the internal network, and only ports 7777 and 4443 external.
    Nice and secure, and doesn't require maintaining one Presentation install per application.
    The instanceconfig.xml is the ONLY thing that is holding us back from using multiple repositories in the same instance... if the instanceconfig.xml was allowed to contain multiple Server Instance tags, this wouldn't be an issue (I tried that too, it doesn't work).
    I'm working on a way to shut down one instance at a time - that issue revolves around the same "idiot check" that the start process does to see if more than one Presentation server is running. For now, I'm just using run-saw.sh stop, which brings down all 3 instances.
    Good luck everyone... happy to answer any questions you might have. I would imagine that a similar setup would work just find on Windows server - I know you can bind multiple IPs to a single NIC, so you should be in the same boat.
    Cheers!

  • [SOLVED] Share Multiple Directories With Samba On Arch Linux and XP

    Hello,
    I have had the worst luck so far with Samba, which is far more likely because of an error on my part than on Samba's.
    I can only seem to share one directory regardless of how I setup my smb.conf. And worse yet, if I mess with Samba, smb.conf, after the first time I set it up it doesn't work again until I reinstall my OS. Now I'm sure that reinstalling isn't the only option, but I haven't figured out how to make it work again any other way. I've tried uninstalling it, deleting it from the cache, deleting /etc/samba and so on, still can't connect to it from XP when I reinstall it.
    I'm running Arch64 and I want to share some directories with a laptop running Windows XP.
    I want to share my home folder, but have it accessible from XP only by me, share my mother's home folder, and have it accessible on XP only by her (well actually I guess it needs to be accessible by both, since i'm the admin), share my media-server (a collection of five hard drives where I store movies and such), and have it read/write by both of us. And finally share /srv so I can work on that from the XP computer as well. I think that's all. And I would like to share printers between the two computers. I would also like to access XP files from here.
    I've always been able to get the media-server to share, but that's it, nothing else. And it doesn't always work right. It doesn't seem to want to follow sym links, but like I say if I mess with it it will stop working all together. So I'm not sure what to do.
    A thought was to instead make a /media/samba-share directory and share that, and inside it have symlinks to my home, media-server, etc. However, that will only work if samba will follow symlinks for me.
    Here is the smb.conf I am planning to use at the moment:
    # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

    Now I wouldn't think I would need to list my home and mom's home seperately, but since [homes] has never worked for me in the past i thought i would give it a try. Does this look like something that would do what I am wanting?
    Otherwise I would delete [homes], [media-server], [theavataroftime], [christina], and [server] and replace them with just [samba-share] with all those as symlinks inside that directory as before mentioned.
    Anyway, thanks for the help. Any good guide on this matter would be appreciated, I have looked at several, but more can't hurt . Networking isn't my thing so to speak, so please be specific in any explanations. Thanks again.

    Well it seems that my trouble all started when I began using the 'printable = yes' option for shares. Since I removed that the troubles seem to have left me.
    Does anyone know why that is listed as on option in smb.conf here:
    # A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in
    # the "staff" group
    ;[public]
    ; comment = Public Stuff
    ; path = /home/samba
    ; public = yes
    ; writable = yes
    ; printable = no
    ; write list = @staff
    As well as in a few other examples if it doesn't work? I seen the example and assumed that option was needed to print from those shared directories.
    Also, it seems that the comma is not needed between the 'valid users' names.
    Also, I guess it wasn't Windows XP's fault either but rather my own ignorance. I like the idea of blaming Windows better though.....
    I hope this servers to help others to aviod my mistakes.

  • Multiple problems with Mail

    Here is the setup:
    iMac Intel running 10.4.8
    Mail 2.1.1
    seperate user accounts, each with their own email address
    email is valornet.com (local ISP), set up to download to Mail
    Multiple problems with one of the user accounts (not affecting the others):
    1. Multiple copies in the inbox of the same message. These are brand new, not a week old as some other threads have mentioned. When I go to Preferences/Accounts/Advanced I have already clicked the "Remove Now" button, also the "Remove copy from server..." is checked.
    2. Mail will not stop retrieving new mail. The circle thing next to the Inbox on the left just keeps spinning, and spinning, and spinning...
    3. Cannot quit Mail. Have to go in Activity Monitor and Force Quit.
    4. My trash folder is gone.
    If anyone can help me clean up this mess, I would appreciate it.

    permissions), as described here:

    OpenedAttachments.plist
    SmartMailboxes.plist
    and the following folders:
    Mailboxes
    [email protected]
    Signatures
    The Mailboxes folder has two more folders inside:

    Outbox.mbox
    The POP-... folder has the following folders inside:
    Deleted Messages.mbox
    Drafts.mbox
    INBOX.mbox

    and one file:

    Incidentally, I now have 9 copies of the same email in my inbox and 7 copies of another. They are multiplying like rabbits!
