Suggestions for setting up a server.

Hi,
can some one suggest me where i can get a cheap Sun workstation/server to setup a server in my home.
I want to do some workaround on it.
basically a simple server to host a website
thanks in advance.
Jay

As far as new, the Ultra 20 is a good deal. If you want to go cheaper for new, check out the HCL and build your own.
Or, surf the used equip. places for a Blade 150, sometimes they can be had for quite reasonable and they're still usable (but not as fast as newer systems)!

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.

Fnd_profile.save for setting APPS_FRAMEWORK_AGENT on server level

Hi,
i can set APPS_FRAMEWORK_AGENT on user level using " result := fnd_profile.save('APPS_FRAMEWORK_AGENT',URL,'USER',usr.user_id); "
but this "result := fnd_profile.save('APPS_FRAMEWORK_AGENT',URL,'SERVER',Node_id); " does not work for setting it on server level.
Help from anyone will be much appreciated.

What is the error you are getting when you try to set at server level?

HT201320 Any suggestions for setting up a telusplanet (server) email account on iphone 4s? Nothing seems to work.

I have been trying to set up Telus email account on my Iphone 4s with no success. Pop3 account on telusplanet server. Any suggestion?

This was by far the best tutorial I found for setting up my own personal mail server:
http://workaround.org/ispmail/squeeze
I couldn't recommend it enough. There are a few quirks in places with the version differences but some reading around will sort you out.
It's written in a very Archlinux style and explains the concept fantastically.

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, Syd

Hi 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

Need a suggestion for setting up a reimbursement program with an annual cap

Can anyone recommend or have an idea on the best way to handle an employee program which provides for $250 in reimbursements for eligible expenses under the program? A few facts about the program:
1- There is an annual $250 cap per employee
2- The $250 does not need to be used all at once
3- Employee's pay for services themselves first and then submit receipts to HR on a quarterly basis for reimbursement
3- Because expenses do not need to be used all at once, the set up must be able to track expenses for the entire year through a cumulative balance
4- The $250 is subject to payroll taxes (though we are not using Oracle Payroll)
Currently, the entire program is being managed via an excel spreadsheet but we would like to automate the program in Oracle. Ideally, we would like for employees to enter their expenses via Oracle iExpense. However, the system would need to be be able to recognize when an employee is over the annual limit, throw a message to the employee letting them know they are over the annual cap, and only allow the remaining balance to be processed in the expense report.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Barbara

Hmm, if you are not using Oracle Payroll, what are you using for payroll? I am wondering why you could not use your payroll system, whatever it is, to handle this reimbursement program.
Well, you may want to talk to Oracle support about how to handle this in Oracle iExpense. You can certainly handle advances for Expense Reports. You would then apply the advance to the expense report items. The catch is I don't think you can stop expense item entry after the adavance is satisfied. You would have to set up a work flow process of some kind to have the expense reports reviewed and only approve expenses that are applied to the advance, is what I am thinking. Not your ideal solution, but something to think about. It could be the Oracle folks might know of a sneaky way to handle this. What you are trying to do is unusual. Employee advances are common, but the idea of not being able to exceed the advance amount is what unusual about this. Normally you will accept any expenses over the advance amount and reimburse the employee for those extra amounts not advanced.
Good luck.

2K8 - Best practice for setting the DNS server list on a DC/DNS server for an interface

We have been referencing the article
"DNS: DNS servers on <adapter name> should include their own IP addresses on their interface lists of DNS servers"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378900%28WS.10%29.aspx but there are some parts that are a bit confusing. In particular is this statement
"The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. However, if the DNS server is also a domain
controller and it points only to itself for name resolution, it can become an island and fail to replicate with other domain controllers. For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller.
The loopback address should be configured only as a secondary or tertiary DNS server on a domain controller.”
The paragraph switches from using the term "its own IP address" to "loopback" address. This is confusing becasuse technically they are not the same. Loppback addresses are 127.0.0.1 through 127.255.255.255. The resolution section then
goes on and adds the "loopback address" 127.0.0.1 to the list of DNS servers for each interface.
In the past we always setup DCs to use their own IP address as the primary DNS server, not 127.0.0.1. Based on my experience and reading the article I am under the impression we could use the following setup.
Primary DNS: Locally assigned IP of the DC (i.e. 192.168.1.5)
Secondary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Tertiary DNS: 127.0.0.1
I guess the secondary and tertiary addresses could be swapped based on the article. Is there a document that provides clearer guidance on how to setup the DNS server list properly on Windows 2008 R2 DC/DNS servers? I have seen some other discussions
that talk about the pros and cons of using another DC/DNS as the Primary. MS should have clear guidance on this somewhere.

Actually, my suggestion, which seems to be the mostly agreed method, is:
Primary DNS: Locally assigned IP of the DC (i.e. 192.168.1.5)
Secondary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Tertiary DNS: empty
The tertiary more than likely won't be hit, (besides it being superfluous and the list will reset back to the first one) due to the client side resolver algorithm time out process, as I mentioned earlier. Here's a full explanation on how
it works and why:
This article discusses:
WINS NetBIOS, Browser Service, Disabling NetBIOS, & Direct Hosted SMB (DirectSMB).
The DNS Client Side Resolver algorithm.
If one DC or DNS goes down, does a client logon to another DC?
DNS Forwarders Algorithm and multiple DNS addresses (if you've configured more than one forwarders)

I agree with this proposed solution as well:
Primary DNS: Locally assigned IP of the DC (i.e. 192.168.1.5)
Secondary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Tertiary DNS: empty
One thing to note, in this configuration the Best Practice Analyzer will throw the error:
The network adapter Local Area Connection 2 does not list the loopback IP address as a DNS server, or it is configured as the first entry.
Even if you add the loopback address as a Tertiary DNS address the error will still appear. The only way I've seen this error eliminated is to add the loopback address as the second entry in DNS, so:
Primary DNS: The assigned IP of another DC (i.e. 192.168.1.6)
Secondary DNS: 127.0.0.1
Tertiary DNS: empty
I'm not comfortable not having the local DC/DNS address listed so I'm going with the solution Ace offers.

Walk thru for setting up X-server or VNC on solaris 9

I have a solaris 9 box which i am trying to setup x-server or better still VNC server on, I am having no joy at all and all the doco that i seem to read on it is very cryptic or it more for a redhat distro. Are there any walk throughs for this online? or is anyone willing to step me through it themselves??? any help would be great

I used it a lot on Solaris. Give some examples of the problems you are having. What is showing up in your log file in the .vnc subdirectory. Is anything showing up in ~/.xsession-errors ? I don't believe there should be anything showing up in this log.
It may be something as simple as you haven't specified a windowmanager correctly.
This is what I do. I use fluxbox on all my servers - it, well, rocks :)
In my .profile, I have the following enviornment variable defined:
DEFAULT_WM=fluxbox
export DEFAULT_WM
I sometimes play with other window managers and this allows me to change window managers at login.
In my .xinitrc, I have the following:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
In my .vnc subdirectory, I move the default xstartup to something like xstartup-ORIG and then create a symbolic link to ~/.xinitrc.
Assuming I have fluxbox (or whatever WM I plan to use) installed and setup correctly, running 'vncserver -depth 24"' works graphs.
I obviously run vncpasswd prior to running vncserver to setup the vncpasswd - but I think this is unnecessary these days as I think vncserver takes care of checking for that now. Old habits die hard.

Need urgent Help for setting up iCal Server

I will move the iCal portion here, maybe I will get some help.
Okay first my setup:
Two XServe with the latest 10.5 (one is the backup)
Six Mac Pros with Leopard
Three Macbook Pros with Snow Leopard
All Macs are on an Windows 2003 Active Directory network. Also we have our accounts locally (on each workstation and laptop).
*So I have installed the advanced settings for the Server OS.
*Created a account for every user on the server
*The FTP, Web (for the local webpage), Open Directory and iCal services are on. (iCal would only activate with Open Directory service??)
*The iCal server destination (for the calendars) are on a separate drive with +Ignore Permissions+
Still can not link a account through iCal with the server!
Could somebody give me a walkthrough how to setup the iCal server?
Oh yeah another issue I had I can't get the calendaring checkbox in the user account to stick! Is this just a bug?

Hi Umesh,
I would not use the repository on a database that was cloned. In my experience this leads to problems.
A better way is to clone the database and then create a new repository on the clone:
1. export the repository on the windows server to an mdl file
2. unregister all target users on solaris
3. drop the repository on solarais
4. create a new repository on solaris
5. Import the data from the mdl file you exported in step 1
6. register target users
7. configure and register the locations
This way requires some manual work, but I do not see another way.

Carsten.

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.

Setting up DR Server

Dear Sir,
Please send me steps for setting o DR Server for ECC 5 with oracle 9.2 database.

Hi Ketan,
I hope you might have gone through the document provided by Orkun Gedik. Here are the highlevel steps involved in setting up DR.
1. Install the SAP R/3 system in a similar hardware
2. Backup the PRD DB (offline backup)
3. Stop the application and DB in the DR site
4. Restore the backup in DR using BRRESTORE
5. Create a standby controlfile in PRD and copy the same to the controlfile locations in DR
6. Start the DB at the DR site in the standby mode
7. Copy the archive logs (you can either do this manually or automate the same usnig oracle dataguard)
8. Apply/recover the archive logs in the DR (ongoing process).
Hope this helps.

Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.

Hi to all.
Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
We are using Oracle9iAS.
Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
We managed to run
-ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
-ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
-update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
-commit;
But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
this..
SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
1402 rows updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
We tried to startup the database..it gives us this error..
SQL> startup
ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
So, we tried to shutdown again..
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted
I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?
Best Wishes,
Rushdan Md Saad.

Patchsets could be obtained (only) from http://metalink.oracle.com
You need to have valid CSI for access.

Suggestion for a setting

hey i m Saad Kazi.i have an idea for setting in all iphones today i am using My iPhone i turn it off to change my sim.when i restart the phone after installing the sim,there comes an option that says iPhone required your password after restart.no apps is workin uptil i entered my password.This setting give me idea if their password required for startup the phone,similarly if there a setting through which password is also required to turn off the phone(whenever the phone is manually poweredoff it required password)is a very good ide.for example month ago my friends some how hide my phone to prank me In university.when i ask for my phone they say they don't see it and when I tried to call it from other cellphone they switch off the phone so that i think that my phone is thieft or steal.well I got my phone after a huge treat.....so from here i got the idea for a setting option to password required for turnoff the phone manually.it can also helps in tracking because tracking required network and powered off can't connect to internet.simply This is my iPhone it only turned off or on only upon my wish.please think about my suggestion whenever you are making new iOS.....thanks an iphone lover ❤️❤️
