To setup new siebel testing environment in windows

Hi all,
I am new to siebel server administation.
Planning to setup current Siebel development setup in new test environment. Whether it is possible to setup new test environment same like development. If yes, for this what are files required from development environment? Please help on this.
Thanks,
sj

1. install siebel
2. compare the components and copy and create any custom components from Dev (dont forget to compare the parameters ex. max tasks, min tasks, config file etc)
3. copy these files from Dev
siebsrvr/object/enu/siebel_sia.srf (or siebel.srf depends on which version siebel you are trying to setup)
siebsrvr/webtempl/*anyCustomerWebtemplCreatedinDev*
siebsrvr/webmaster/enu/files
siebsrvr/webmaster/enu/images
compare the default parameters for eapps.cfg on both the servers.
the directory structure I have shown is from solaris, but this should be similar in windows except for "\".

Is there any best practice for printer configuration for test environment?

My Oracle ebs test environment has a scheduled refresh period where it will be refreshed with production test data and configuration time to time for BA, Dev to work on their enhancement.
However, all the printer configurations are still pointing to production ones after refreshed, which means whenever there is a testing on-going, the doc / label / invoices will be printed to production printer.
May I know if there is a way to globally change all the printer setup for the test environment, so that nothing will be directly to production?... Please assist.
(currently, the only way is to change one by one and only if you are aware of it...)
In case your organization has any other strategy on this matter, pls share also... Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.If you do not want to use same printers then you have to it to point to the (TEST/BA Printers) after you are done with Rapid Clone. Any new printers need to be added manually (just the same way you defined you PROD printers) -- Rapid Clone Documentation Resources For Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
If you want to edit the configuration, you could use FNDLOAD to download printers definition from the source instance, update the ldt file and use FNDLOAD to upload printers definitions.

Test environment SNC

We want to setup first a test environment between SAP CUA and a Sap client (Microsoft ILM).
The requirement in our organization is that the network traffic is secure and encrypted.
So to test if SNC is the solution we need to test this in our landscape.
My question is if you can provide me with a demo/test SNC library so we can test.

Hi AndrZegers ,
This is Supply Network collaboration (SNC) forum and your query looks like more of security.
You can post your query in security forum.

SCOM 2012 SP1 Test environment - "New View" is greyed out?

I'm new to SCOM....
I just created a SCOM 2012 SP1 test environment, but for some reason the "New View" button is greyed out. (I attached a screenshot)
I can't figure out why and it pretty frustrating. I'm assuming it is a permissions issue, but I can't figure out how to get this feature enabled.
any assitance is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The "New View" is greyed out if you try to create a new View in a sealed Management Pack.
You can create a new View only in unsealed Management Pack's inside the console.

Test environment setup

I want to create a test environment to test imports from another LDAP platform into a near replica of my current AD. What is the best way to do this, create a domain in my current forest, or create a new forest/domain structure? If new forest/domain, does
it need to be on a unique separate subnet?

How to move new container to TEST environment from DEV

Hi,
I have added new container choosing option as copy from existing container (Financial_Oracle 11_5_10)
Now container named as DEV_Finance, modifed source system parameters.
coming to Execution plan :
I have modifed existing execution plan Finance_Oracle 11_5_10 ( removed subject areas of Finance and added subject areas of DEV_Finance)
Please guide me what needs to be moved to TEST environment.
Containers : Financial_Oracle 11_5_10 and DEV_Finance or ONLY DEV_Finance
Execution Plan : how we will export no idea
Regards,
sp

Hi
In Tools->Dac Repository Management click on export and select the container you want to export.I think
as your custom container is still referencing original container except for the parameters changed............so u need to export both of them...by selecting both of them in the check box....hope this helps

Installing second domain for forms testing environment?

Hi!
I've a physical windows server for running my forms applications (11.1). On installing fusion middleware suite I created a domain with the assistant. Further more another assistent configured my forms server into this domain.
The problem is that I've no forms testing environment. So the idea was to create another domain for testing and setup a second forms server in this new testing domain. The pysical machine has enough power to server both domains.
Is this a supported configuration and can it be done with the assistants?
Thanks
Markus

I wouldn't say that the additional administration effort is much or bad. I also don't agree 100% that the dev instance don't influence the prod instance when both are hosted on the same server.
When hosting both instances on one server and one oracle home you will always be on the same patchset on the OS and Oracle side.
Consider you are encountering a bug in forms when developing a new feature which is fixed in a one-off patch. To test this one-off patch in dev you most certainly will have to take down the production instance too as both of them will access the same Oracle Home and Middleware Home. Same thing is for OS patches. If you are seperating dev and prod instances on different machines you have the possibility to test your configurations proper on your test machine without influencing production.
This will guarantee you that you have always a tested environment in production.
Think about scalability: developers tend to make boo-boos while developing new things. One forms session <can> take down a whole machine (I have seen that and I have done that - on a development machine). If this happens on a development machine you have 10 angry developers which can be calmed down with a sixpack beer; 100+ people plus the managment which should be working with the software you developed are not tranquilized so easy when they cannot work for 20 minutes because of a infinite loop in development ;).
I agree that you might have additional license costs; but if memory serves Oracle VM and Oracle Enterprise Linux have no additional license costs which breaks down the costs to OFMW 11g. And I am not too sure if you have to pay (the full price) for development instances (I am a developer, not a sales person). But this is best discussed with your oracle sales representative.
Again, this is just my opinion; maybe someone else can give you more input.
cheers

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

Use of DataGuard in a testing environement

Hi all,
whenever an incident occurs on our production system, we import a dump from our production database into our test database to reproduce the incident and to find a solution for the issue.
Taking a dump and import this into a test database takes several hours.
Now I'm thinking about a solution using DataGuard to speed up this scenario. It is quiet important for us to solve production incidents as soon as possible (banking environement).
So I think about the following:
DB PROD => master
DB TEST1 => standby
When an incident occurs I want to
- remove DB TEST1 from DataGuard and use this DB as an independent DB where we can reproduce the incident.
- add a new stand by to DataGuard to have a test DB for the next incidents
Does anyone use DataGuard in the same manner or does anyone can tell me if this would be a possible way?
Many thanks in advance fpr your support.
Andreas

Its a thought, but its not the best use of Data Guard (in my humble opinion). When I think Data Guard I think:
Recovery Plan
Read-only services
Minimize downtime
You are looking for a quick way to refresh your test environment and I believe RMAN Duplicate might be a better answer. You can have everything setup in advance just like Data Guard.
If you do decide to use Data Guard for this sooner or later you will probably trash your standby setup and have to use RMAN Duplicate to fix it.
However if your database is really huge it might be a great idea to have the standby the way you say with a short delay on apply on the standby end.

German Umlauts OK in Test Environment, Question Marks (??) in production

Hi Sun Forums,
I have a simple Java application that uses JFrame for a window, a JTextArea for console output. While running my application in test mode (that is, run locally within Eclipse development environment) the software properly handles all German Umlauts in the JTextArea (also using Log4J to write the same output to file-- that too is OK). In fact, the application is flawless from this perspective.
However, when I deploy the application to multiple environments, the Umlauts are displayed as ??. Deployment is destined for Mac OS X (10.4/10.5) and Windows-based computers. (XP, Vista) with a requirement of Java 1.5 at the minimum.
On the test computer (Mac OS X 10.5), the test environment is OK, but running the application as a runnable jar, german umlauts become question marks ??. I use Jar Bundler on Mac to produce an application object, and Launch4J to build a Windows executables.
I am setting the default encoding to UTF-8 at the start of my app. Other international characters treated OK after deployment (e, a with accents). It seems to be localized to german umlaut type characters where the app fails.
I have encoded my source files as UTF-8 in Eclipse. I am having a hard time understanding what the root cause is. I suspect it is the default encoding on the computer the software is running on. If this is true, then how do I force the application to honor german umlauts?
Thanks very much,

So you start with a string called "input"; where did that come from? As far as we know, it could already have been corrupted. ByteBuffer inputBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap( input.getBytes() ); Here you convert the string to to a byte array using the default encoding. You say you've set the default to UTF-8, but how do you know it worked on the customer's machine? When we advise you not to rely on the default encoding, we don't mean you should override that system property, we mean you should always specify the encoding in your code. There's a getBytes() method that lets you do that.
CharBuffer data = utf8charset.decode( inputBuffer ); Now you decode the byte[] that you think is UTF-8, as UTF-8. If getBytes() did in fact encode the string as UTF-8, this is a wash; you just wasted a lot of time and ended up with the exact same string you started with. On the other hand, if getBytes() used something other than UTF-8, you've just created a load of garbage. ByteBuffer outputBuffer = iso88591charset.encode( data );Next you create yet another byte array, this time using the ISO-8859-1 encoding. If the string was valid to begin with, and the previous steps didn't corrupt it, there could be characters in it that can't be encoded in ISO-8859-1. Those characters will be lost.
byte[] outputData = outputBuffer.array();
return new String( outputData ); Finally, you decode the byte[] once more, this time using the default encoding. As with getBytes(), there's a String constructor that lets you specify the encoding, but it doesn't really matter. For the previous steps to have worked, the default had to be UTF-8. That means you have a byte[] that's encoded as ISO-8859-1 and you're decoding it as UTF-8. What's wrong with this picture?
This whole sequence makes no sense anyway; at best, it's a huge waste of clock cycles. It looks like you're trying to change the encoding of the string, which is impossible. No matter what platform it runs on, Java always uses the same encoding for strings. That encoding is UTF-16, but you don't really need to know that. You should only have to deal with character encodings when your app communicates with something outside itself, like a network or a file system.
What's the real problem you're trying to solve?

Exchange Server 2010 SP3 test environment - email flow to/from internet

Today I set up test environment for Exchange Server 2010 SP3 - domain controller running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Exchange Server 2010 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and client computer running Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 with Outlook Pro 2010 x64. These
machines are VMs on vSphere 5.0 cluster made of 4 esxi 5.0 hosts.
I have three years of experience in working with Exchange Server 2010 in my production environment but until recently I have not had enough resources to build a test environment. Does "testing" Exchange Server 2010 infrastructure have
a real life purpose considering the fact that only internal email flow is possible since authoritative SMTP accepted domain is not hosted anywhere thus not visible to outside world. This limited email flow combined with absence of possibility to test
ActiveSync, Outlook Anywhere, OWA from WAN, . . . really hurt and make Exchange Server rare technology that can not be tested completely before introducing something new into the production. Services that are not possible to test from the outside world are
useless and whole point of Exchange-like technologies is availability from anywhere and from whatever device.

I set up Internet Send Connector (by default this type of send connector uses DNS MX records to route email automatically). Having sent an email to my gmail account I did not receive it and in transport logs I saw that mx record was found successfully
but there is the following line:
2014-08-05T20:39:51.942Z,Internet Connector,08D17F000FE36010,1,,2a00:1450:4013:c01::1b:25,*,,"Failed to connect. Error Code: 10051, Error Message: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network 2a00:1450:4013:c01::1b:25"
I tried also to send an email to my production email address (we have Symantec Messaging Gateway which is used as a smart host (antispam,antimalware,content filter appliance)) but then error is:
2014-08-05T20:50:08.395Z,Internet Connector,08D17F000FE36019,1,,91.238.7.10:25,*,,"Failed to connect. Error Code: 10061, Error Message: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 91.238.7.10:25"
Telnet from test exchange to 91.238.7.10 on port 25 also is not working.

QALoad and Siebel testing automation

I'm working on a project where we would like to use QALoad, the customer's standard, with Siebel. So far, we've been able to easily record a simple script where the user creates a new record and saves it. The saved script can be run without any error messages. However, no new record is created.
Has anyone ever used QALoad with Siebel and can they reach out through this forum or by sending me an email at [email protected]
Thanks,
Marc

Adobe's been offputtingly silent on the subject. Anyone
interested should check this thread on flexcoders (
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/66918),
which goes into some detail about the license restrictions on the
mx.automation package; a few other alternatives are also discussed.
Marc, from a cursory overview it looks to me like
TestComplete would only be able to simulate keyboard and mouse
events when dealing with the Flash Player--is that true? That can
lead to a pretty brittle automated test environment, because simple
layout changes (which aren't bugs) can really mess up a bunch of
test scripts.

Siebel Testing. Cookie handling, cookie load balancing and authentication.

We are delivering a PoC in a big Siebel customer and we are finding some issues.
Environment information is:
- Siebel testing, version 8.
- NTLM Windows authentication.
     When we create a Siebel Load script, recording works fine. Replaying the script, after adding the Authentication function, does not work
     When we create a Web Load Script with the same structure and business process, after adding the Authentication function, it works.
     Looking at the difference between Web and Siebel scripts, only difference are a couple of cookies that Web script considers and Siebel does not. This two cookies are added in the second call of the NTLM handshake requests (two requests with 401 http code and a final with a 200 http code). The application, in the first NTLM handshake request, ask the browser to add a couple of cookies that the browser (and OLT in a web load script) add. Siebel load script does not add/handle this cookies.
     Accordingly, the script works with web module but does not work with Siebel module.
Right now we only have two options to make Siebel work:
- Change the DNS address to point to a single node for the application, instead of pointing to the load balancing service. This way, cookies are not needed and the script does not fail.
- Add the cookies by hand. This way, cookie content is "hardcoded" and, so, it will not be useful for load balancing purposes, which lead us to previous bullet. Load testing using Siebel will not work load balanced.
I added a web script (works fine with no tweaking) and a Siebel script executed with normal configuration (does not work) and workaround (avoiding the load balancing cookies- it works).
Many thanks for the help,
Iván.

Álex,
Thank you a lot, I will call you related to other issue also. Thanks for the kind help!.
IMHO, it works or not depending on cookies added for load balancing. Siebel module does not specifically add these cookies, while web module does. If you delete the cookies from the web module, it stops working, so I guess the cookies are making/breaking the script.
I will send you the scripts, so you can have a look.
Thanks,
Iván.

How to setup Forms 9i runtime environment?

How to setup Forms 9i runtime environment?
I developed a test form and I am getting "Page cannot be displayed" error when I run the form.
Steps I followed to run the form...
1. Started OC4J Instance
< Dos Window opened and contained data " Oracle 9iAS (9.0.2.0.0) containers for J2EE initialized >
2. I Run my test form.
< In the IE browser got "Page cannot be displayed" error.
In DOS Window I got the following message ...
FormsServlet init():
ConfigFileName: null
testMode false >
Do I need to setup something else???
Please advise.

My guess then would be that the problem is that you get:
ConfigFileName: null in the OC4J log window. This should actually point to a config file for the Forms server : formsweb.cfg.
Are you running the OC4J that came with Oracle9iDS?
What happens if you try the following URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/forms90/f90servlet
I don't know why it is not configured for you. might be worth a reinstall.
