Thoughts on deployment & updating settings in prod...

Hi All,
Newbie here.
If i deploy across environments with .EAR files built on dev box, then when an eWay setting (servername\port for e.g.) changes in Production do i have to rebuild on dev box, and re-deploy to Production?
Is there anyway of just updating the setting without having to go back to dev box & re-build whole application?
What are the best practices here to ensure corect version gets re-built in dev for re-depoyment to Prod?
I know there is version control, but i remember a Sun person also talking about coping the released project into it's own "Build" folder in the ent. desginer to avoid confusion/mistakes.
Any & all thoughts & opions welcome.
Cheers,
Ken

Jim,
The iPod preferences are automatically specific to the iPod. So, if you connect your iPod and assign it preferences, and then your wife connects hers and assigns different preferences, iTunes will treat each iPod differently. Easy as that

  • What is the best way to deploy/update custom security realm classes to WLS 6.0?

    From the WLS 6.0 console, I see that I can specify the Java class that
    implements my custom security realm but I am wondering what is the best way
    to deploy/update this code. I don't see a way to do this from the console.
    Does this mean that I have to manually copy the class files over that
    implement my custom security realm?

    Thanks Danut,
    A jar file seems to be a good way to package it up but it sounds like it
    still needs to be manually copied to each Weblogic server install directory
    post-installation and whenever it is updated. I thought it would be nice to
    be able to deploy/update the custom security realm by uploading it through
    the Console just as you can with web applications and EJBs.

    You have to have your Custom Realm class in the class path. I usually havea
    jar file with all the Custom Realm classes and that jar I copy it in thelib
    folder. Then I modify "startWebLogic.cmd" and I add to the classpath
    ".\lib\CustomRealm.jar"
    set
    CLASSPATH=.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;.\lib\CustomRealm.jar;
    >
    Be aware that in order to have you custom realm besides creating thecustom
    realm using the console you also have to create a custom caching andchoose
    that one as your default caching realm.
    Here is how the security settings are looking in my "config.xml"
    <CustomRealm Name="CustomRealm"
    RealmClassName="Custom.appserver.weblogic.security.CustomRealm"/>
    <CachingRealm BasicRealm="CustomRealm" CacheCaseSensitive="true"
    Name="CustomCachingRealm"/>
    <Realm CachingRealm="CustomCachingRealm" FileRealm="wl_default_file_realm"

  • Allow users to manage and change Automatic Update settings

    Server SBS 2011 SP 1
    Couldn't find a thread that helped. Hoping to get some light on my situation.
    The client has users who they'd like to have full control of their client PCs Windows Automatic Updates. The users would like to go into Control Panel and check updates at will, set times for auto updates to their liking. I haven't found the appropriate
    GPO setting to allow users to change update settings. 
    Is that possible? Will creating an OU without a linked GPO and blocking inheritance provide the answer? 
    Thanks ALL!

    the dedicated SBS forums might bet better for your question (since SBS can be finicky about some settings)
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=sbsserver
    It will likely depend upon how the implementation is currently setup (there could be various things in place, in a customised fashion).
    Basically, when using GPO to deploy WUAgent settings for WSUS, the user interface for WU is disabled for the end-user - this is how classic domain GP works, and is intended to work. (i.e. if the domain admin deploys a setting, end-users are unable to change
    that)
    You may be able to easily identify the relevant domain GPO that is delivering this setting, but you would (presumably) want to only change the single setting relating to AUOptions, and leave the other settings as they currently are (i.e. continue to use
    WSUS to serve the update approvals and update files/patches.
    Creating a new OU and not linking/inheriting, may cause other unintended effects/complexity.
    (it might be the only way to achieve your goal, but analysing which GPOs are carrying which settings, and then which GPOs you *do* need to be linked/inherited, will be an important step)

  • Programatically change automatic update settings

    Is there a way to remotely modify the automatic update settings for a corporate-wide deployment of Adobe Reader? We currently push updates from management software, but have some workstations that attempt to automatically install updates. It presents the user with the window to allow it install the updates, but they do not have the authority to do so. It is simple enough to say no and they get their files, but the window pop-up generates support calls. We just need a way to push out a change to disable the automatic update for all workstations to eliminate the problem.

    Does anyone know the registry key in XI? There is a 11.0 folder, but no
    FeatureLockDown below it. Has it moved or do we need to create it and then
    create the bUpdater key?

  • Patch Bundle Deploy Remediation settings

    Got ZPM up and running and seems to be working OK on a test machine, just got a few quick qu's on behaviours when deploying updates:
    If I select a group of patches and want to use this as a baseline for all my machines am I best in using
    a) a static group \ folder
    b) applicable devices
    I don't really like the idea of "All non-patched" as it gives me no control over what goes on so leaving that out as an option. I've noticed if I do "applicable devices" the Bundle filters out some of the patches (ones it knows are already on the machine?) but if I do a Folder \ Group every patch is listed as an Install action. Chances are I need to use option a) to be sure I'm catching every machine so will ZPM just skip updates in the Install phase if they're on the machine already?
    Also when setting the Mandatory Baseline settings what I want to achieve is to allow the user to have full control over the reboot process i.e. they can reboot now, reboot later (snooze) or not reboot at all so my first guess on the settings was this:
    Suppress Reboot: YES
    Allow User to cancel: YES
    Time to show dialog before reboot: 120
    Allow User to snooze: YES
    When deploying some patches I saw a box slide out from the system tray but it disappeared before I could do anything with it (hence setting the above to 120 seconds). Question is do any of the options override each other e.g. if I set the dialog to 120 will that auto reboot even though I've allowed user to suppress it?

    I am also interested in the best process to accomplish patch deployment. I have noticed that some patches tend to fail due to a variety of issues. Once the patch has been deployed whether it fails or not it is considered deployed and a Verify or redeployment of the patch is required to patch things up.
    As far as a baseline setup this will provide several options that from my understanding are unrelated to each other. ie a "Snooze" setting of 120 seconds is not the same as a force reboot setting. This setup also doesn't seem to have any effect for the settings that are used for Patch deployment outside of the baseline setup. So if you deploy to a group or set of devices the settings listed in the baseline settings do not hold true to the patch bundles settings.
    I too like the idea of baseline setup for specific dynamic groups and have played with them on specific groups. I haven't seen any major issues but have also heard the horror stories and remarks not to use baselines in this way.
    Here is what I have done so far. I assign the patch bundles by month to the dynamic group (ie Windows 7). The end user notify settings are setup so that I add my departments information to the reboot notice that scrolls up near the system tray. I setup a allow user to snooze for the 120 seconds and force a reboot after 10 hours. This gives my end user a full days work before the device must be rebooted. Only complaint I have had from my end users is that the pop-up seems to be to persistent and they had wished for a far less notification time say once every few hours.
    I am looking for a better way to deploy patch's then I currently have. I would like to have patch's deploy out if they have failed before. I always looked at the baseline as that way but with Novell documentation stating not to do this I have moved away from this deployment type. I would like to have Critical MS patch's deploy out and have a way to verify that the patch is deployed and if not redeploy automatically.
    The largest issue I have with patch deployment is that the large part of my deployment are student computers. So if the patch process in place takes longer then a half hour then the chance is extremely great that the laptop will either be place in sleep/hibernation mode or shutdown completely. Keeping the patch bundles to a small deployment seems to be the best way to go but I have had major issues with Patch deployment showing a successful deployment only to have the patch's for that device to show a non-patched. From what I can see from another post this is a known issue with a workaround.

  • I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

    I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

    oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities.  If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that,  and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running.  if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
    good luck

  • Camera Raw 7.2 "Updating Settings" slow!

    Hello,
    Since updating to CR 7.2, and when copying and pasting develop settings from one DNG image to another, there's now a rather pesky slow pop-up dialog "Camera Raw | Updating Settings." It's REALLY REALLY SLOW to update the DNG images compared to CR 7.1 (about 7-10 seconds per image), and it's definitely slower than CR 6.x. It really impacts my workflow. I cannot understand why Adobe would push out an update that HUGELY slows down the CR workflow!
    Does anyone else notice this or is it just my setup? (I've rebooted, recreated DNG files, etc., but this workflow-stopping dialog still pops up and users must wait for it to complete.)
    I'm running on a Win 7-x64 machine with 8MB RAM (although CR 7.1 worked fine in this regard, as far as I can remember).
    Does anyone know how to go back to CR 7.1?

    Does anyone know how to go back to CR 7.1?
    It's almost trivial to do if you've squirreled away a copy of the prior version of the plug-in.  You just need to replace the Camera Raw.8bi file(s) with file(s) from the appropriate versions for 32 and 64 bits.
    It's a little more difficult to return to 7.1 if you haven't kept a copy, but not impossible.  In that case, seek out the Camera Raw 7.1 download online, download it, and unzip it.  Work your way into it to find the two very large files, which aren't named what they'll need to be but actually contain the plug-in files for 32 and 64 bit versions (the folders they're in identify which).
    Here are the sizes/dates on the pertinent files, and the naming convention I use to allow me to keep copies of each version of the plug-in in the folder, ready to be copied to the Camera Raw.8bi file in order to test a particular version of Camera Raw.  Photoshop must be closed down to make the copy.
    The first set listed is for the 64 bit plug-in, the second set for 32 bit.

  • Flash Player Update Settings

    Hello,
    In our department we always set Flash Player to never check for updates.
    As admins we wanted to be in control of distributing Flash to avoid any potential issues.
    There have been 3 Flash updates in the last 2 weeks so we have decided it is best to allow updates to be installed.
    We do not want to go through 100 Macs and change the setting manually one computer at a time.
    Can you assist me with how and which preference I can modify to distribute to all computers to change this setting?
    Thank you
    Stacey

    Hi Stacey,
    The update settings are stored in the mms.cfg file.  On Mac this is located at /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg
    There are a two different types of updates: Background Updates and Notification Updates:
    For Background Updates, Flash Player checks for an update once per day (this interval is not adjustable), silently in the background, and if an update is found, it automatically installs the player, silently in the background.  No user interaction is required.The mms.cfg file settings for Background Updates are:
                        AutoUpdateDisable=0
                        SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    For Notification Updates, Flash Player checks for an update, silently in the background once every 7 days (this interval is adjustable).  If an update is found, an Update Notification dialog window displays notifying the user that an update is available.  The user can either proceed with installation or dismiss the notification.  If dismissed, the process repeats itself again in 7 days. For Notification Updates, the user will be prompted to provide an Admin password to install Flash Player.  If your users do not have Admin permissions, or access to an Admin account, then Background Updates would be the better option.          Notification Updates:
                        AutoUpdateDisable=0
                        SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
    To modify the Notification Update check interval, add AutoUpdateInterval=# where # is the number of days between intervals (valid values are 0 - 30, where 0 checks every time Flash content is viewed, 1 is once per day, etc).
    An alternative option is to host the Background Updates internally, in your server.  You would download the resource file containing the updates, in the required directory structure, post this to your internal server and add an additional entry to the mms.cfg file to use your internal server.  When hosting Background Updates internally, the Notification Update workflow is disabled.  You can obtain more information on hosting Background Updates internally on page 21 of the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection.

  • RH 8 - How to retain File Update Settings

    Using RH8, integrated with FM9, when I open and close a project, the File Update Settings change for the linked FM chapters.
    Any ideas how I can prevent them from changing?
    Thanks,
    Stacy

    Sure!
    Open the File Update Settings tab on the FrameMaker Document Settings window. (Right-click on the linked Frame chapter in RoboHelp and select Properties.)
    The settings on this window are the ones that change with each opening and closing of the project.
    When I re-open a project, RH is defaulting to "preserve" many of the topics (but not all), so I have to go through and uncheck all of the topics that I want RH to update. The Help system probably has 250 topics, and with no "Select All" button, it's a lot of unchecking. Would love to preserve these settings.
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi,
    Before going any further, I would like to verify if your pc is in a domain.
    If your computer is part of a domain,  this feature may be disable via GPO by your system administrator. You may need to contact it with your IT department.
    If it is not in a domain but the issue appears, please make sure you are logging on with system administrator account. In addition, if any security program
    is installed, please temporarily disable it.
    Meanwhile, please check the GPO settings on your PC:
    1. Click Start, type “gpedit.msc” and press enter.
    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates ->
    Windows Component -> Windows Update. Make sure the states of all setting are Not Configured.
    3. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates->
    System-> Internet Communication Management-> Internet Communication settings. Make sure the state of “Turn off access to all Windows Update features” is Not Configured.
    Hope it helps.
