System management API

Looking for system management API like FT-1800 CMS(Configuration Management System)
This is very important facet to develop Telco market.
Pls mail me directly. [email protected]

Not sure if the attached VI will work across various Windows OS's since it uses a powershell command and I also don't know how well the command used will work across 32/64 bit applications...But, so far this little VI I came up with is returning the software that I want to query. Hope this is usefull for others and, as always, suggestions for improvement are welcomed!

System Configuation API for Configuration Management

Hi all,
I've been toying around with the system configuration API for a little bit now and I see it as a great way for companies to use it as part of an overall configuration management utility. For example, if a customer wants to build up a new test rack with the same hardware aliases, configuration, and installed NI software then the system configuration API helps with most of this. I've already created a simple utility that can be used to query the currently installed hardware (of a local or remote system) and then programmatically rename the aliases based on a loaded configuration file or manual input. Likewise, the MAX export/import functionality can also be used. My application of this would primarily be non-RT and mostly PXI products but a good design could enable it to work for both.
So, my question to the community is actually on the side where I haven't used the System Configuration API yet which is querying the installed software on a system. The software querying functionality of the System Configuration API is really only geared towards RT targets and not Windows based controllers. I'd like to be able to export a list of installed software/drivers on an older system and then compare it with what is installed on a newer system to make it easier for customers to determine whether they have everything required. I know that the MAX export or report has a list of installed software but is parsing this the best way of retrieving installed software (It's a beast of a file)? Does anyone have a better method?
Regards,

EWS Managed API - 1. BindToItems returns ErrorAccessDenied error, 2. appointments created in one mailbox show up in others

Hi,
I know there are other questions about ErrorAccessDenied but they are not exactly describing my situation and all are pretty much old and mostly not answered so forgive me for creating my own.
Also, wall of text coming so please bear with me.
We have an application that synchronizes Exchange items into our internal systems. Items created on Exchange are stored in that system and vice versa of course with a lot of business logic and rules, etc. Application uses EWS Managed API and impersonation
to access users mailboxes. Everything works fine but now we have this one customer that has a lot of strange things going on with main 2 problems mentioned in subject.
1. To ensure both sides (Exchange and our system) are in sync we have a functionality that allows users to decide that items no longer existing on Exchange should be removed also from system database. Since in our record we store id of original Exchange
item internal system simply sends us list of those ids to confirm items still exist. What application does is a BindToItems method call with BasePropertySet.IdOnly as requested property and depending on server response we notify internal system about state
of items. There is some semi complex logic behind what exactly is done on system side but in general NoError and item returned means item exists, ErrorItemNotFound means item doesn't exist.
For this one customer suddenly we started to receive ErrorAccessDenied and ErrorBatchProcessingStopped error codes which is very strange because seconds earlier there were events read from PullSubscribtion, items read from server, items created on server
and bunch of other stuff going on which basically makes me sure that impersonation is working. For some reason during execution of this particular code ErrorAccesDenied is returned and it messes up whole BindToItems call.
But what is really strange is that for first id in list of ids we get NoError and correct item returned, for second id we get ErrorAccessDenied, and rest of responses is ErrorBatchProcessingStopped. So is it really about credentials or there is some
completely different reason AccessDenied is retuned? According to customer those items exist in user mailbox for whom those errors are showing up. It doesn't happen for all users, only for some - who have exactly the same configuration of mailboxes as rest
(according to customer).
2. For same customer another problem started to occur since 1st of January, at least that is a date when they noticed it for the first time. Again, it happens for some users and there is no scenario that would guarantee to reproduce it.
When new record is created in our system or its data change it has to be created/updated on Exchange. With same impersonation as for problem described above I simply create new item or find existing item using id provided by our system, set item properties
according to whatever was sent and save/update item on Exchange. Simple and it works in multiple installations without problems.
But this customer reports that appointments created for one user show up in other users mailboxes which I find really strange because as far as I know when I impersonate [email protected] everything I do is executed in context of this one user only. So if
I create appointment in his calendar I cannot create same appointment in userB's calendar without explicitly switching impersonation to userB. What is worth mentioning during our sync process we store on Exchange items bunch of custom properties that help
us verify whole process and do various filters, etc. All of those custom properties are visible in outlook in that design form view or whatever it is called. And I have screenshot from user that claims to have one of those "not his" appointments
and basically half of our properties is not there and some have no values while they definitely should have otherwise whole sync would fail and everything is logged as successful.
Sorry for this wall of text but I really have no idea what can causing those strange problems so I tried to describe as much as possible without breaching NDA and such stuff. We added a lot of logging around areas where impersonation is changed, Exchange
items are created/updated, etc. Logs show nothing, of course.
So, for first issue: is it possible that items were moved on Exchange in such way that user still can see them but for EWS API call we get ErrorAccessDenied? I'm not sure where exactly could be such location because if id of an item would change we should
rather get ErrorItemNotFound or even something about id being not properly formatted, right?
For second issue: is it possible that there is something running on Exchange server and does some kind of simplistic mirroring of items between mailboxes? Customer claims there are no such things on server nor user side but can it be something that non-IT
people wouldn't know? Like some kind of script that admins like to run to keep server healthy or something innocent but lethal for our scenarios? Anybody has any hints what we should even ask customer about to get closer to solution of those mysterious problems?

Were you able to figure what was going on with your first problem? we're seeing the exact same issue with one of our customers.

[svn] 2700: With the Marshal Plan, when create an instance of a manager, we need to talk to the system manager.

Revision: 2700
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-07-31 21:12:03 -0700 (Thu, 31 Jul 2008)
Log Message:
With the Marshal Plan, when create an instance of a manager, we need to talk to the system manager. Unfortunately sometimes these manager instances can be created before the Application class is created and/or before the systemManager property is set on the application. So to get the reference to the system manager from the manager instances, we can't use ApplicationGlobals.application.systemManager. We need to use SystemManagerGlobals.topLevelSystemManagers[0] instead. This property is set in the SystemManager constructor, and fortunately for us, Flash runs your root display object's constructor before anything else, even before static initializers (atleast ones not defined in SystemManager or a dependency of it).

an instance p for Point class is created like this?
Instead we can create and instance of Point class
as:
Point p = new Point();
Can any one of you explain this?Your Point() constructor doesn't throw exceptions, so there's no need to catch them. The Class.forName() and Class.getInstance() methods can throw exceptions, so it's necessary to handle them if they arise. Check out the docs for those methods, it lists what exceptions they can throw.

class?
static Point origin = new Point(0,0);
What the reason to create an instance like this
within the same class. We can create this instance of
point
class when ever we need. There doesn't seem to be any in your code, since that variable is never accessed. It could be useful if you wanted to have a Point that was shared across all instances. This is not a good example of that though.

Work Manager API in Sun Java Application Server 8.1

I am trying to build a parallel application using Work Manager api (javax.resource.spi.work.WorkManager;)
I studied the Websphere implementation of WorkManager there you need to make JNDI lookup for work manager and then use it to submit the work.
My question is if i make class which will implement the javax.resource.spi.work.WorkManager; interface and use that class to submit the work and execute it in parallel then will that class will handle the resource management and all j2ee services
Do we have separate implementation of work manager API for Sun Java Application Server 8.1 (any jar like asynch.jar in IBM websphere) so that we will just create a work manager using admin console and make JNDI lookup and use it
Please guide me

Before I start, disclaimer -- I have no knowledge of Hibernate and the following comments are based on the stack trace you have included.
I think your permissions might be set all right but you might have an error in the hibernate query. It looks like hibernate uses antlr to parse the queries. While parsing the query, antlr is encountering an exceptional condition and is trying to exit the VM (by calling System.exit()). Obviously, the hibernate code does not have that permission and therefore the exception is logged.
My guess is if you fix the query such that hibernate/antlr can parse it, you will not run into this error.
Hope this helps,

System monitoring API needed

Hi all,
I have a requirement in which I need to monitor all the system parameters like processor usage, free RAM etc. from within my java application. Is there any open source JNI based API for that? I dont know much of c/c++ and thus can't code my own. Its really urgent. So help me please.

Hi all,
What I wanted was to profile the system on which my application is running, not my own application. So I guess I cant use the JProbe. As for the managment API I am supposed to use the 1.4 version only. So I cant use those API's too. The problem is solved now. I wrote my own wrapper for the getting the all the information on the PC.
Anyway, thank you all.

Policy Manager API - The AccessGate is unable to contact any Access Servers

Hello all,
I am trying some samples to connect to OAM using policy manager api.
I have the below mentioned code
ObAccessManager am = new ObAccessManager();
ObConfig.initialize();
am.setAdmin("orcladmin", "welcome1");
But when I run this code, I get an exception saying
com.oblix.access.ObAccessException: The AccessGate is unable to contact any Access Servers.
I have included AccessServerSDK paths in PATH,CLASSPATH and OBACCESS_INSTALL_DIR variables.
and my ObAccessClient.xml file access server entry is as below
<ValNameList
xmlns="http://www.oblix.com"
ListName="server1">
<NameValPair
ParamName="host"
Value="son1891"></NameValPair>
<NameValPair
ParamName="port"
Value="6035"></NameValPair>
<NameValPair
ParamName="numOfConnections"
Value="1"></NameValPair>
</ValNameList>
I have spent a complete day on this, but still do not have a clue what is wrong.
Please help me to solve this.
Thanks
Roopa.

Ensure you have the following Env Var's set:
CLASSPATH to \AccessServerSDK\oblix\lib\jobaccess.jar
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to \AccessServerSDK\oblix\lib
OBACCESS_INSTALL_DIR to \AccessServerSDK
PATH to \AccessServerSDK\oblix\lib; \AccessServerSDK\oblix\tools
POST_CLASSPATH to \AccessServerSDK\oblix\lib\jobaccess.jar
In your AccessGate Definition, did you set the Access Management Service to On? The Communication Modes should be same for all the components. Also mind the time difference between all the systems. Anyway - May I know the objective behind the work with Policy Manager API ? Are you building a custom UI ?

EWS Managed API: Email sender name incorrect if loading properties of multiple emails and several emails have same email address (but different names)

Hi,
I have an issue using the Exchange Web Services Managed API. I'm essentially implementing an 'inbox', and am essentially using two calls:
folder.FindItems(filter, view) with the view set up with the 'idonly' property.
The returns a 'FindItemResults<>' object containing a set of items.
And then calling service.LoadPropertiesForItems(items, props), where the props contains all 'first class properties', which includes the sender details.
Now, the inbox contains several emails from the same email address but with different displaynames.
E.g. There may be one email from "Bob <[email protected]>" and another email from "Alice <[email protected]>" and another email from "Charlie <[email protected]>" etc.
The issue is that in the information that EWS returns from the call to LoadPropertiesForItems, every email ends up with the same sender name (from the first one in the list)!
i.e. When I enumerate through the returned items, the item.Sender.Name will always be"Bob" for every email where Sender.Address is [email protected]
I have debugged this with a http sniffer just to ensure that it really is the EWS coming back with this information rather than anything in the managed layer.
Is this a known issue? How can I work around this (without querying every single email for the sender name individually, as that would be too slow)?
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for the reply.
The scenario is that the client receives emails from a (3rd-party) automated system. The email address from this automated system is always "noreply@<blah.com>", while the display name is used to differentiate the actual sender.
I suspect that this kind of system will likely become more widely used, and so for us will increase in priority (obviously its a priority for our client already)!
Just for the record, if this is a known issue do you have a bug number or equivalent for it? (I tried to search but couldn't locate it).

New to System Manager - Advise needed on my requirements

Hi there!
I am very new to System Manager 2012, so I am seeking advise on how to best start my project. I read the initial part of the Getting Started guide ( http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn235548.aspx ), but System Manager is a big product so I need
to double check the direction I should take, based on my design requirements.
So here is what I am trying to achieve in two bullet points:
- I got my own monitoring system application that I can query via an API. The API is REST based (i.e. HTTP GET/POST operations) and I already wrote a Python script to query my API so I can export data and alerts from it.
- I'd like to integrate the data/alerts coming from my own monitoring application into the Microsoft System center.
Questions:
1) in the first page of the Getting Started guide, I can see I am offered the option to download several evaluation virtual hard disks (e.g. App Controller, Operation Manager, Service Manager, Orchestrator, Virtual Machine Manager). Not sure which one I
should use for what I am trying to achieve?
2) depending on the component picked in point (1), what's the best documentation link to start studying how the Microsoft application works, and how to integrate the data coming from my API?
3) is my Python script fine to run on the Microsoft Virtual Machine, in order to query my API and pass the data to the System Manager 2012?
Thanks in advance for your help, and looking forward to actively join your community!
Wally

The system center suite contains several products.
For monitoring purposes you should look into the Operations Manager product.
Have a look here for details on OpsMgr:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh509025.aspx.
These forums are specifically for Configuration Manager.

Accessing the user management API programmatically

I am looking for the officially supported method that could be used to access the user management API via "curl" for CRX:
There is a user management API described here:
http://sling.apache.org/site/managing-users-and-groups-jackrabbitusermanager.html
However, executing a command on CRX 2.2 such as:
curl -u:admin:admin http://localhost:7402/system/userManager/user.tidy.1.json
Only returns a message indicating that the contents have been redirected (without providing another URL).
Using the Content Explorer in CRX shows the list of users at: /home/users but I am not sure if a curl command could access the user list via that URL.
Any pointers on how this could be done are appreciated. This is for a partner.
Regards,
Blair

I am a co-worker of MorrellJ. I am trying to do a change password request using the Jackrabbit User Manager with the REST URL /system/userManager/user/<username>.changePassword.json. The problem I am having is that this request requires an oldPwd form param in the request. The issue is that when I am trying to do this request it is in response to the user selecting "Forgot Password" so our logic has created a random password which we then email to the user so they can use that the next time they want to login. We need to change that user's password in CRX so they can log in using it next time. Since they haven't logged in there is no session, NOT the problem. THE PROBLEMS, I don't know 1. how to use the userManager to get that user's old password, since /system/userManager/user/<username>.json doesn't appear to return the password and 2. if I could get the old password it most certainly will be encoded, some how, so I will need some decoding algorithm to pass it through in order to get the actual password to set as the oldPwd form param to my change password request. Please let me know if you require any further explanation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Sucena

Have worked it out...
In case anyone else has the same thing happening, the issue was with the external hard drive. I had read-only privileges while it was connected to my new MacBook. It's a Seagate GoFlex. Had to download the NTFS for Mac driver from their website
http://www.seagate.com/au/en/support/external-hard-drives/desktop-hard-drives/ba ckup-plus-desk/ntfs-driver-for-mac-os-master-dl/
and installed it on the laptop. Then I selected the GoFlex volume, Command I and changed the access to read and write. Problem solved.

Internal ArgumentOutOfRangeException in EWS Managed API

Dear Microsoft,
We’ve been happily using the EWS Managed API for one of our products, but recently ran into an obscure problem with it.
While forwarding e-mails always used to work flawlessly, we recently started getting the following, strange error at a client site: an ArgumentOutOfRangeException in some get_Item() method over 20 layers deep in the call stack.

The Managed API is now open source so if you go to
https://github.com/OfficeDev/ews-managed-api clone the repository and compile a version to use in debugging then reproduce your problem you should be able to work out what's going wrong.
Its looks like its having problems reading the response so you may want enable tracing
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn495632(v=exchg.150).aspx or watch the request/response with something like fiddler.

Trying to retrieve list of rooms using EWS Managed API but it returned empty collection

Hi,
I'm trying to retrieve list of rooms using EWS Managed API. Before I have tried the following code I make sure our Administrator put all the rooms in a list following link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee633471%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx.
Here is the simple code I have used :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data;
using System.Net;
using System.Security;
namespace ExchangeConsole1
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013_SP1);
service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "Password1", "domain");
service.Url = new Uri("https://email.xxxx.com/ews/exchange.asmx");
EmailMessage email = new EmailMessage(service);
EmailAddressCollection listOfRoomList = service.GetRoomLists();
// Display the individual rooms.
foreach (EmailAddress address in listOfRoomList)
Console.WriteLine("Email Address: {0}", address.Address);
service.GetRoomLists() results "Enumeration yielded no results". Could anybody help me please ?
Thanks

Enable tracing and see what the response from the server looks like. Also depending on your setup and how long ago your administrator created the list, it may take some
time to replicate.
Administrator has done it one week ago. Here is the trace response I am getting
