Suggestions on Managing mixed (NT - Unix) environments

We are in process of implementing 11.5.5 Our Applications instances are on Unix however, we are looking for advice on what is the most effective manner of testing/moving customized forms and reports between the NT GUI environment where they are modified and Unix. We have reviewed the applications developer/customization guides but any other input would be GREATLY appreciated!

There is no direct methodology, it all depends on your own confidance / skill etc.
You need to identify operating system (OS) specific customisations that need porting. This includes all components such as calling batch scripts that may be OS dependant. Once you have isoltaed these and aligned to developer 2000 you should be OK.

Need suggestion on how to implement UNIX SSH connector for various server

Hi everyone,
We have various unix servers like ubantu, redhat and mandrake . each unix type have serveral machines around 50+ each.
I want to have one resource object for each server type
ex: ubantu, redhat, mandrake.
User will select on the server type and this will bring all itresources under this type.
Also when we install the connector it gives us one schedule task for group and user reconciliation. If i plan to have one RO for each of the server type what should I do to have one schedule task for each server type
How difficult it would be to implement this? any guidance on how to proceed with this?
Thanks,
asat

Hope that this could help you.

Best Practice for managing variables for multiple environments

I am very new to Java WebDynPro and have a question
concerning our deployments to Sandbox, Development, QA,
and Production environments.
What is the 'best practice' that people use so that if
you have information specific to each environment you
don't hard-code it in your Java WebDynPro code.
I could put the value in a properties file, but how do I
make that variant? Otherwise I'd still have to make a
change for each environment to the property file and
re-deploy. I know there are some configurations on the
Portal but am not sure if that will work in my instance.
For example, I have a URL that varies based on my
environment. I don't want to hard-code and re-compile
for each environment. I'd prefer to get that
information on the fly by knowing which environment I'm
running in and load the appropriate URL.
So far the only thing I've found that is close to
telling me where I'm running is by using a Parameter Map
but the 'key' in the map is the URL not the value and I
suspect there's a cleaner way to get something like that.
I used Eclipse's autosense in Netweaver to discover some
of the things available in my web context.
Here's the code I used to get that map:
TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameterMap();
In the forum is an example that gets the IP address of
the site you're serving from. It sounds like it is going
to be or has been deprecated (it worked on my system
right now) and I would really rather have something like
the DNS name, not something like an IP that could change.
Here's that code:
String remoteHost = TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getWebContextAdapter().getHttpServletRequest().getRemoteHost();
Thanks in advance for any clues you can throw my way -
Greg

Hi Greg:
I suggest you that checks the "Software Change Managment Guide", in this guide you can find an explication of the best practices to work with a development infrastructure.
this is the link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/83/74c4ce0ed93b4abc6144aafaa1130f/frameset.htm
Now if you can gets the ip of your server or the name of your site you can do the next thing:
HttpServletRequest request = ((IWebContextAdapter) WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter()).getHttpServletRequest();
String server_name = request.getServerName();
String remote_address = request.getRemoteAddr()
String remote_host = request.getRemoteHost()
Only you should export the servlet.jar in your project properties > Build Path > Libraries.
Good Luck

Managing a remote unix box with OSX server apps...

Aside from running an OSX server, I am in charge of maintaining an external, SUN unix server from my Mac, and I hate using line commands, esp. with how jaded I've become using the nice tools for managing the Mac server. For now I use terminal in order to change passwords, set permissions and so on as the sudo user on the unix box, and use rbrowser to edit cron jobs.
So, my question is, is there a way to get the OSX server admin tool to think the unix box is an OSX server? And if not, is there a graphical interface to maintain the server (it's running Apache too)? Rbrowser is cool and all, but doesn't let me use sudo for making chnages.
Thanks for any help.
Greg

Bummer about not having the Mac feel on SUN. Life can't always be perfect.
As far as the Webmin, no, haven't heard of it, but it sounds cool. The trick would be getting a huge client like SD County to let us buy it, then go through all the hoops and red tape to get it installed. Most likely their answer would be "Well, what have you been using this whole time and why isn't that good enough now all of a sudden?".
So for the time being, I'l have to be happy using RBrowser for file transfers between the test and production servers (beats the pants off of typing scp -p -i over and over again) and editing cron scripts. Too bad it doesn't provide sudo for changing passwords, groups, and so forth.
I'm this close to having the perfect work environment (the office I work in was all Windows with Dell laptops...until now).

Management Pack Templates - Unix/Linux Service template error

Hello,
When I try to run this template I get the following error.
The Page [Microsoft.SystemCenter.CrossPlatform.UI.Authoring.ServiceTemplate.ServiceStateProbePage] in the assembly [Microsoft.SystemCenter.CrossPlatform.UI.Authoring] could not be loaded. Please make sure that hte account you are running under has
sufficient privileges to load the given assembly, or the management pack that defines this page is installed or hte assembly containing the page is in hte path of the executable or that the page derives from known Operations Manager page type.
I tried this from my Computer and the Management server with the same result. My account is in the Ops Admin role and I have no issues creating any of the other templates.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Just I case anyone else runs across this.
The Online Catalogue UNIX/Linux MPs are only for SCOM 2007 R2. With SCOM 2012 and above we went with Management Pack Bundles [MPBs] and the Online Catalogue does not support them. To get the latest MPs and agents for UNIX/Linux on SCOM 2012 you need to go
to the Microsoft Download Center and search for "System Center 2012 Monitoring Pack for UNIX and Linux Operating Systems". The current release is UR2 which can be found here -->
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29696
This release includes the following:
4/9/2013 - Update release - version 7.4.4119.0 - includes agents with version: 1.4.1-270
The Microsoft.Unix.Service.Library.mp is installed by default with SP1 and we don't expect it to be uninstalled. The Update Releases [UR] only contain MP/Bs that have changed so Rob is correct in that the only place you will find this MP is with the SCOM
2012 SP1 RTM release.

How To Restore Audigy Platinum ex Surround Mixer EAX Default Environments, e

Does anyone know how to restore the default Surround Mixer Environments (such as Cathedral, Ballroom, etc.), Advanced EQ, and Special Effects without doing a reinstall of all the Creative software?
Some unknown application on my system is somehow "deleting" those default items and none of them appear in the Surround Mixer. The Surround Mixer itself works, only the default EAX items are missing.
If I knew what files/links that information was being stored in I could make sure my backup includes those items. Having to go back and reinstall from the CD and then applying all the updates is getting to be a real nuisance, especially since I haven't determined yet what is causing the problem.

I had a similar problem with XP Home/Audigy Platinum Ext - some inputs on the Li've Dri've not showing up in Sonar 4, Li've Dri've MIDI ports not working at all. I had to reinstall the card from scratch three times before it all got back to normal (because I did not fully unistall the drivers !) Sorry, I don't know the cause of this problem, but in my case reinstallation cured it.
Good luck.

Are there suggestions for managing Multiple VMWare Fusion systems sharing files with a MacBook? Suppose I have enough ram for 3 servers to share files.

Suppose I have enough ram for 2 or three VMWare fusion systems to that could benefit from file sharing. Is it possible to configiure each VMWare funsion instance to have a common read only file share on my desktop and a common read/write area on on my desktop?
This would allow me to extend the power and mustle of my Mac Book Air, Retina Display system to its best advantage. Whether native Mac processing or speciality linux or Windows systems as needed.
I am having trouble allowing more than one system to share the same read only and the same read/write areas so that software does the file locking and merge controls. Even if these do not share a common read/write area, it would be truly handy for drive space management for them to share a common read only area.
Thanks for your thoughtful input.

It really denpends on the os running in the vm and what the permissions are set to on those shares.
I run a few vms on both a mac at home and windows at work and all other computers in my home or at work can connect to the vms without any problems. Even multiple computer at the same time.
It also depends on how you have set the vm up for networking. If you are setting it up as nat, instead of bridged, that can also cause problems access it from multiple system. With nat the vm is on its own network branch.

Solution Manager best practices about environments

Hello,
we intend to use Solution Manager 4.0.
My question : I wonder whether we need to have a single instance a SM (production) or whether we need to have multiple instances (one development SM where developments and customizing will be performed and one production SM populated with transport requests coming from the development SM) ?
What are the best practices ?
Thank you.
Regards,
Fabrice

Dear Fabrice,
In principle you donot need to have 2 instances of Solution Manager. 1 Instance is sufficient enough for monitoring all the Satellite Systems.
However if you intending to have Customized ABAP on Solution Manager then it might be a good idea to do so in an different client in the same instance keeping the client as an development client.
Most of the customizing in Solution Manager is non transportable hence it should be directly done in the productive client.
Hope this answers your queries.
Regards
Amit

Operations Manager 2012 R2 Unix/Linux agents installation

Hi!
I want to monitor some Linux (RH6) servers with Operations manager 2012 R2. I successfully imported necessary management packs… and then I’m lost. I cannot discover Linux clients
from console. And I can’t find good guidance how to deploy and manage Linux clients. Can anyone direct me to any step-by-step guidance?
And, do I need certificates on SCOM and on Linux clients?
Thanks,
UV

To discover and monitor linux client, you can refer to below link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230722.aspx
For Importing Management of linux (RH6), you will need to download management of linux from below link

Localization: Best practice suggestions Apps with mixed UI and Content languages?

I am trying to write a simple Universal app that can be easily localized to different UI languages. But the app also needs to display content that is determined by user settings. For example I would like the app UI to display in the users region (English,
Russian, etc.) while at the same time having fields on the page whose strings are coming from other resources (Latin "la"? , Spanish, etc.).
The samples are pretty good about how to setup resources with respect to the UI ( e.g. Strings/en-us/Resources.resw ) but not what to do if you want to also be able to draw strings from a different language. When the words in the content fields show in Latin
I don't want the UI to also be in Latin.
Suggestions on best way to do this?
Thanks,
-Tom19

Hi Tom19,
I did not receive the email notification on my mailbox for your reply, that's weird. Sorry for the late response.
Basically we have the best practice documentation for you:
Creating and retrieving resources in Windows Store apps also
Quickstart: Using string resources, take a look at the documentations to see if these helps.

Suggestion - media manager to stream video out to the internet

I have heard and seen posting about upcoming beta where one would be able to use media manager to stream video from their PC to the STB in their houses. Cool, needed but sort of expected ....
what I am really interested is to actually be able to view the content of my DVR when I am remote from home. I would like with a browser to connect home and be able to view the show I missed.
Now that will be cool .... (its kind of Slinbox service)

It'll happen, I'm sure. Eventually, we'll be able to even watch Video On Demand on Verizon Wireless cell phones, and when we get home we can seamlessly transfer the streaming video from the phone to the STB/TV thanks to the Verizon One.
Thank you,

4.6.18/19 and chroot on unix environments

Hello
Looks like BDB is caching names (and paths) of it's databases somewhere (in cache files __db* probably). This started to happen with 4.6.18.
This makes a problems when opening database, doing chroot() and making some operations on db.
Is there a way to stop caching database paths in bdb 4.6 and get the same behaviour as it was in 4.5.20?
Using db from inside and outside of chroot() makes nasty problems happen like DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND etc.

The code I'm trying to get working is quite huge (rpm package manager) so I'll describe what I figured out for now.
So suppose that you have directory where BDB database lives (db files + __db.XX files in the same directory):
/level1/superdir/database/
We open (dbenv->open()) that database, do something on it and close() but without calling remove(). So now we have nicely closed database but __db.XX files are still there.
Now we chroot() into /level1/ and run our program again. Since we chrooted /level1/ is now our new root directory. BDB lives in /superdir/database/ now.
So we open() /superdir/database/ and... BDB tries to open still old /level1/superdir/database/ path instead of just /superdir/database/ (after chroot path).
BDB 4.5 was working without problems with such scheme. BDB 4.6 has problems with it.
What can I do about that to get 4.5 behaviour back?
Current bdb 4.6 behaviour means that location of database directory cannot be changed without requirement to rm __db.XXX files. BDB 4.5 behaviour was nicer.
