Time Machine AFP shares for client machines

I have migrated a Mac Mini from 10.6 Server to 10.7 Server. This is my own internal mail server etc so it is not too critical.
I have a DROBO connected to the mini and the DROBO has been partitioned into 4 partitions. Three of the partitions are shares which I used for the Time Machine (TM) backups on my MBP, my wife's iMac and the mini server. The fourth partition was for shared files. All this worked well in 10.6 but it seems broken with 10.7. I did this so I could limit how much space was available for each client machine's TM backup.
First in the Server.app the TM service I though was just for the server but it seems that once you specify this it created a shared folder which serves as a target for client machine backups. There doesn't seem to be a way of designating specific shares for different client machines.
Second, the shares that I used in 10.6 are still there and permissions are correct but even though I can connect to the share via the finder, TM on a client (MBP running 10.7) looks like it stalls during the preparing backup phase then fails.
If you cannot specify individual shares for client TM backups this is huge step backwards! With little or no documentation and a ludicrous dumbing down of the Server management interface I can't see 10.7 server as anything but a toy. Not to mention the switch from MySQL and removal of pptp VPNs this product is just half baked. Sorry but the more I use 10.7 server the less I like it.

Well, it appears to be working. I used the "Connect To Server" option from the "Go" menu of the Finder and connected via IP address. The Mini is set up with a static IP. I'm not sure if it is working consistently, yet. I got one good Time Machine backup so far.
I do seem to be experiencing some inconsistent network behavior as far as seeing the Mini on the network via my Lion machines. It seems to drop off the Finder sidebar for no apparent reason. Will post another update later.

"(also, my profile says that I'm running OS X 10.4.6, but I'm not really sure, that's just what one of the disks has written on it that came with my used and very cheap machine "
Click on the blue Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose About this Mac. That will tell you what your OS version is and what amount of RAM you have. The "More Info" button in the pop-up screen will give you the Apple System Profiler application and that will give you whole bunches of information on the drive space used etc.

Regarding Merant ODBC Driver for Client Machine.

Dear All,
We have installed Oracle BI Apps.
Environment:
Machine 1 : OBIEE , DAC Server, Informatica Server.
Machine 2: DAC client(by copying DAC folder from Machine 1), Informatica Client.
I have copied the DAC folder from Machine 1 and paste it to Machine 2 and then configure the bat file.
Now when i am creating ODBC connect in Client machine, we dont have Merant ODBC driver in that, and it is available in Server machine...
So my query is how to get the Merant ODBC driver in Client Machine ?

Hi Damon,
Thanks for your reply......
Damon few weeks before you have told me that we can download the ERP from e-delivery/oracle .com.
I went through the site and found there are so many applications of Peoplesoft.
So we are planning to download this"http://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/Download/get_form?egroup_aru_number=8888395 " application from this link" PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Management System and Campus Solutions 9.0 (CD)"
So, i will request you please have a look to the application and confirm can we use this application for Oracle BI apps and will this application have dummy data so that we can see Pre-Built Dashboards and Reports.
If its not valid ERP then please provide us the link as well as the ERP name so that we can work on the same.

How can I display the front panel of the dinamically loaded VI on the cliente computer, the VI dinamically loaded contains files, I want to see the files that the server machine has, in the client machine

I can successfully view and control a VI remotly. However, the remote VI dinamically loads another VI, this VI loaded dinamically is a VI that allows open others VIs, I want to see the files that contains the server machine, in the client machine, but the front panel of the dinamic VI appears only on the server and not on the client, How can I display the fron panel with the files of the server machine of the dinamically loaded VI on the client computer?

I down loaded your files but could use some instructions on what needs run.
It seems that you are so close yet so far. You need to get the data on the server machine over to the client. I generally do this by doing a call by reference (on the client machine) of a VI that is served by the server. THe VI that executes on the server should pass the data you want to diplay via one of its output terminals. You can simply wire from this terminal (back on the client again) to an indicator of your choosing.
Now theorectically, I do not think that there is anything that prevents use from getting the control refnum of the actual indicator (on the server) of the indicator that has the data, and read its "Value" using a property node. I have never tried this idea but it seems t
hat all of the parts are there. You will need to know the name of the VI that holds the data as well as the indicator's name. You will also have to serve all VI's. This is not a good idea.

How to find Machine Id of a Client Machine.

hi
Is there any way to find MAC ID of a Client Side Machine. because IP_ADDRESS is not Satisfying all the Security requirements.
Please Provide me the Solution or if this type of Thead is already exists in the Forum then Pls Provide me the Link.

As Faust said - this is not possible in Oracle PL/SQL (not supported). The only alternative is to write a custom function to obtain the Mac address.
Such a function will need to be in Java or created as an external procedure (a DLL in Windows or Shared Object lib on Unix).
However - even if you code such a function how can it obtain the Mac address? The external process or Java procedure cannot obtain or access the TCP socket handle that Oracle uses for that client session.
If I'm not mistaken, when dealing with a shared server process, it will not even know what the handle is - as the communication part with the client session is handled by the dispatcher processes. Which means (if I'm correct with this assumption) that the shared server session has no TCP socket handle at all to reference.
Let's assume I'm wrong and in both cases the socket handle exists in the Oracle server - how do you get Oracle to pass that to a Java proc or an external proc? There is no variable available in PL/SQL or SQL that allows you access to that session's client socket handle.
I do not see a feasible solution for what you want to do. The best would be to record this at two levels. At firewall level record Mac address, IP address and time - in Oracle record IP address and time - combine these two logs for marrying the one with the other.

How do I use pots on my client machine to change values, from the field, on my server machine and all other client machines?

I am using Lookout 4.5, build 12, and I am having a problem concerning pots. I have data tables created for the different size sewer stations my system monitors. For each station, there are setpoints for starting and stopping of the pumps. I want to be able to change the setpoints for a station on the client file using a pot and have it change on all other machines running Lookout. I did this in 3.8 using DDE, but I don't want to use DDE anymore.
I created a pot on the client file and URL'ed it to a pot on the server. On the server I created a table with a generic member "A" named "Lead Setp" and then created a member "A1" named
"C5_1LeadSetp" then a member "A2" named "C3_1LeadSetp" and so on....
In this table I connected the generic member "A" to the Pot I created on the server, and I connected A1 to its corresponding setpoint signal coming in from the field.
On the client file I connected (in the table similar to the one on the server but with all signals for the station) the "A1" member to the setpoint signal coming in from the field, and I connected the "A" member to the Pot I created on the client file which is URL'ed to the pot on the server file.
But, when I change the value of the pot on the client file, only the pot on the server and the "A" member in the table on the server change to the value of the pot on the client. The "A1" member whose screen I am changing the values from on the client does not change! This is the last thing I have to do and my file will be completely converted to 4.0. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for any responses..

Hi Jason,
If I understood your task correctly, you want to change the Setpoints on the Server DataTable using Pots from different clients. And also reflect these changes on the clients locally.
You correctly remoted the Pots on the Clients to the corresponding Pots on the Server. However, you do not need tables on your clients. All you need is Expressions on each client to the particular cell of the Clients.
So, to summarize: On the Server, the Pots write to the DataTable. And since the Pots on the Clients are remoted to these Pots on the Server, you can affect any change using these Pots. Because of the common remote source (Server Pots, i.e.) all of these Pots will always be in sync. Finally, to get the Setpoints on the Clients, just insert Expressio
ns to the Server's DataTable.
I am attaching a simple example (exmpl.zip) which does this. There are three processes -- My_Server, My_Client1, and My_Client2. I had them setup on the same machine so the paths are all process relative, but you can always change those to computer relative or absolute and move the client processes to diff machines.
Hope this helps.
Rgds,
Khalid

Different afp shares for different network cards (NIC)

Hi,
I have a machine sharing via two connections on two separate physical connectors.
One is restricted to LAN, the other is allowed to use the internet connection.
How do I set up shares only available on the LAN connection?
Thanks

Sorry it took me so long to answer, I've been busy lately....I've found a solution to the problem I mentioned, and just in case anyone has similar problems in the future, I'll shortly describe what happened.
As Caseyw suggested, it was necessary to enable both network cards through the Measurement and Automation Explorer. The cause of the connections malfunction was actually that I wasn't using the "right" protocol for the Modbus communication, which ran on the secondary adapter. The solution was to use the URL protocol with the correct path on the field, addressing the right IP address. To avoid making this post a mixture of topics, I won't elaborate futher, but I got the gist of it, so if anyone is having similar problems whether it is working with several network cards or with Modbus communication protocols, feel free to contact me, I'll be glad to help.
Thanks

First time to order part for client unit on gsx.need help.

Hi!
My first time to order part on gsx for a customer.I need a hand.

1. It's a normal default setting for the bios screen to show the logo. I personally don't like it, so I turned it off. You can access it in the "Advanced BIOS" page of the bios.
2. Something must be in error to have the system stop booting. The bios only stops on errors. I wouldn't be overly concerned yet though. Default settings on the board make it stop on all errors. It should give you a reason why it's stopping so look at the screen when it stops and tells you to hit F1. That should give you an idea of what needs fixing.
3. Just turn off the RAID function. It's in the "Integrated Peripherals" screen.
4. Could be any number of reasons, checking your memory would be a good first step. As to Windows only seeing it as 131GB, that's probably because you installed with an older version of Windows XP, before SP1. Back then it couldn't see drives bigger then around 139GB. Install SP2 and you shouldn't have a problem. Just make sure that your BIOS sees it as 186GB. That's what 200GB drives usually show up as.

Unable to connect report to database on client machine

I am using C# and Visual Studio 2010 with several Crystal Reports embedded into my application as resources. This is a Windows application running on Vista. I am trying to connect to a SQL Server database. I created the reports using the design wizard in VS. I am allowing for the server and database name to be changed at runtime through values stored in the project manifest.
As experienced by hundreds of other frustrated developers, my reports run fine on my development machine but fail on my client machine. On the client machine I am prompted with a database login window. The server name is properly populated with the server name pulled from the ...exe.config file. The database name is blank and the field is disabled. The integrated security checkbox is not checked. I am programatically providing the server name, the database name and specifying integrated security to be true using sample code I found on this forum. See below.
I reviewed the Troubleshooting Guide to Database Connectivity Issue with Crystal Reports in Visual Studio .NET Applications. Accordingly, I am running the SP1 for Visual Studio 2010 on my development machine and the most recent runtime module on the client machine.
Here is my application code.

Hello,
Install the MS SQL Server Client tools on your PC and when setting location use the MS SQL Native 10 client as your database driver.
Only one MS supports for Server 2008, there is a MS Kbase on this, you can't use MDAC version of the SQL Client engine.
Then update your app to use RAS and search in this forum on ReplaceConnection_click and you'll find my sample code on how to set location to use the new DB server and connection properties.
If that doesn't work then try hard coding the log on info rather than using variables. At the same time, unfortunately SQL Express doesn't have the Management Console, you want to watch the server using Profiler to see what your app is actually sending to the Server. If you have a full version of SQL 2008 then you can monitor what is going on. If not then you'll ahve to find some other tool you can use.
Try ODBC, you can enable ODBC Trace to see is all other options are not available.
If that doesn't work post to MS's forum and ask them why you connection info isn't working.
Thank you
Don

Logging query with information about ip client machine address

Halo,
One of our most important requirements is logging user query (physical to database and logical) with following informations:
- USER
- SQL QUERY TEXT (logical/physical)
- DATE and TIME executing query
- IP ADDRESS client machine (or name of client machine) (this is very important information)
We have following configuration:
- BI Server with Presentation Servicess on one machine (AIX)
- Web server on second machine (BEA Weblogic 9)
I've tested [USAGE_TRACKING] mechanism but thera are three problems with it:
1. in S_NQ_ACCT in field NODE_ID is always written the same information: name of Web Server - WebLogic
2. in S_NQ_ACCT are storages only logical queries.
3. Length of field QUERY_TEXT is 1024. I'm sure that in many cases it'll be to short.
I've tested USER_LOG too (that logs to NQQuery.log file) but there are also some problems:
1. there is no information about ip client machine but is information about physical and logical queries and other necessary informations
2. oracle recommends turn off this mechanism on production system.
I've tested PRESENTATION SERVICESS log (it is configured at logconfig.xml file)
1. In file is information about ip client machine
2. In file are written only logical queries (this is big problem we also need physical queries)
Do you have some idea how to resolve my problem?
Regards

hi, you can use the sys_context function, like this:
select sys_context('userenv','current_user'),
     sys_context('userenv','os_user'),
     sys_context('userenv','host'),
     sys_context('userenv','ip_address'),
     sys_context('userenv','instance'),
     sys_context('userenv','sessionid'),
     sys_context('userenv','terminal')
from dual;
Is this what you 're looking for?

Or use your client application (whatever it is) to read in the file.

PACKAGE PLSQL to control client machine

Hi,
Is there a PLSQL package ( JAVA encapsulated I thing ) to get some informations of client machine or print on client machine using IP address of the machine and/or printer.
Thanks a lot
Romeo.

What client information?
Remember that the database is a server. It can service any number of very different clients. It can be Delphi, Java, Powerbuilder or C# clients.. or command line clients like SQL*Plus... or developer clients like TOAD, Tora, SQL-Developer... and these clients can be running on Windows, Linux, Unix, Apple Mac.. and they can be using TCP, IPX or even LU6.2.
Or the client could be a server.. like a Jboss or Weblogic server.. or another database server.
Etc.
Do the server need to know anything about the client in order to service the client? The server gets a SQL from a Powerbuilder app on Windows send via TCP. Does this SQL look different from a SQL from a SQL*Plus command line tool on an IBM mainframe, send via LU6.2?
SQL is SQL. PL/SQL is PL/SQL. And that is what the Oracle server receives and executes. All clients are equal in the eyes of the Oracle server.
Given this, why would the server need information about the client and why? The Oracle server session (shadow process) that services a client does not need to know anything about the client. No need.
Even so, when the Oracle client connects, the connection string (from the client) contains some data about the client. This is added to the connection string by the client's Oracle driver (and of course, can be spoofed). This includes information like executable name, o/s user name and so on.
When the Listener hands off the connection to Oracle (either by starting a dedicated server process or talking to a dispatcher process), it passes this connection data along. This is stored by these processes in the SGA - and can be viewed using the V$SESSION virtual view.
Client data such as the following is stored as a 'for your information only':
- Client Operating system client user name
- Client Operating system client process ID
- Client Operating system machine name
- Client Operating system terminal name
- Client Operating system program name
The USERENV context can be used to get the client's IP address and Hostname, e.g.
select SYS_CONTEXT( 'USERENV', 'HOST' ), SYS_CONTEXT( 'USERENV', 'IP_ADDRESS' ) from dual
That in a nutshell is what client info is kept by an Oracle server process.
As for PL/SQL code in Oracle using this data..? Yes, it can be useful as long as one remember that the client supplied it, and could have been lying. The data is untrusted data.
As for using this data to make a connection to the client? Not a good idea. This changes the PL/SQL code into a client, and the client into a server. This can be problematic ito firewalls, network connectivity, security and so on.
For example, for the PL/SQL to use the client's printer, the code will need to know what type of network shared printer it is. The PL/SQL code may very likely need to authenticate against the client (or a Windows Domain Controller) to access that client's printer.
This makes the complexity of the PL/SQL (or Java stored procs) all the more complexed.
Why?
Surely it is the client application's responsibility and job to serve as interface between the database and the client platform! It is the application's job to take data from the database server and present that to the client. As a graph, shiny table with pretty colours.. or as a printout on the local printer.

AFP Shares dissapears randomly

Hi,
I have the following problem: I have an XServer with Mac OS X 10.6.4 and a Mac Book Pro as client. Sometimes the AFP shares not working. The Calendar server also not working. All other services (mail, internet, vpn etc.) is working fine. After a time the AFP shares and the calendar is working again without doing something.
Sometimes a reboot of the client also helps but not always. The CIFS shares on parallels works fine.
I have found some topics with a similar problem on Airport Extreme but this seems to be a spinning down problem with the harddisk. On the server I can access local everything without a problem.
Does anybody knows a solution?
Best greetings
David

We've also been suffering with disappearing AFP and SMB shares. Some shares will remain up -- possibly the less used ones? Still struggling to figure out the pattern.
Initially, this was just on a Mini running OSXS 10.6.3, but later also appeared on a XServer (2008) using a Drobo RAID over FW 800 (possibly relevant). Haven't been able to shake loose from it yet, although the 10.6.5 update seems to of mostly fixed the Mini at least.
Sometimes restarting AFP will work. Sometimes rebooting will work. But not always. Guess we'll have to keep looking....
Simon.
