Solaris 10 svc:/milestone/single-user timeout during patch run

Hello all,
when doing a patch run (Oct 07 baseline) on a Solaris 10 client the machine rebooted into single user as per normal. However the time for the patches to be applied in single user took so long the single-user milestone timed out and the machine went into maintenance mode. The machine did continue to complete the rest of the patch run. Anyone else seen this and have a work around? I don't really want to blanket increase the service timeout. Selected console output below..

Hi, yes I see it all the time and it's normal and in fact documented in the release notes:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-0428/6nc5u3kou?l=en&a=view#smftimeout
One workaround is to ignore it and not do anything! In fact I think that is the preferred workaround.
Another question, just out of curiosity, what does your "postpatch" Post action script do? Just wondering if it might be something useful for other sites too?

SMF and multi-user service not running

Hi,
I have an issue with several services not starting ...
As you can see, the multi-user services is "offline*" And it remains like this...
I've recently patched the system hoping it would resolve this issue, but no luck. Restarting the server does not help.
# svcs | grep multi-user
offline 14:14:21 svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
offline* 14:14:53 svc:/milestone/multi-user:default
# svcs -xv
svc:/milestone/multi-user:default (multi-user milestone)
State: offline since Wed Dec 05 14:14:53 2007
Reason: Start method is running.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-C4
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M init
See: /var/svc/log/milestone-multi-user:default.log
Impact: 6 dependent services are not running:

svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default
svc:/system/basicreg:default
svc:/system/zones:default
svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default
svc:/application/cde-printinfo:default
I've tried to enable the services above manually, but had no luck.
Thanks.

Reason: Start method is running.The start method of milestone/multi-user is responsible for (among other things), running all the /etc/rc2.d scripts. If you've placed a startup script in there and it's hanging, you'll see this behavior. From memory, I think there's a 30 minute timeout before it gives up and continues.
During the problem period, you probably want to do a 'ps -ef | grep rc' and look for any rc scripts running. That will probably point to a startup script hanging.
DarrenThanks Darren,
That was the problem. A hung script in rc2.d/
What is odd, is that this script is the same on many of our machines and no problems have been found until now. Thanks for your help. Killing that processes made everything start properly.

Sendmail dependency for multi-user milestone

I am currently setting up a CommuniGate mailserver on a Solaris 10 box . Starting the new service is hampered by sendmail running on the smtp port.
My question regards disabling sendmail services so that CommuniGate can do its own thing. The sendmail service is shown as a dependency for the multi-user milestone:
svcs -l multi-user

I've read the sections on dependency groupings (i.e. optional_all/none) but I'm still confused regarding the real links between services.
thanks for any clarification.....docm

If I disable sendmail, will the multi-user milestone
croak on startup? I'm reluctant to just try it, since
I'm working on a remote machine without console

On this machine....

Trying to access Lion server remote using multi-user access, but from a legacy Leopard system

Just purchased a mini server running Lion, and got screen sharing working fine from my legacy system (32-bit so Leopard only). However, I would like to run in multi-user mode, so someone can use the Lion system and another person can access their own account, from the older Leopard system, at the same time. Using multi-user rather than screen sharing. But Leopard does not have the option on the Finder/Share Screen command, the pop-up window to select screen sharing or new virtual session. So, is there a way still to run a new virtual session from a remote client running Leopard? Since the multi-user capability resides on the Lion server, it should be possible, but how, without the pop-up menu?

Hi. A JDBC connection pool is a set of identical, interchangeable, pre-made
connections, and the controls to make sure only one user uses a particular
connection at any one time. If you want to have different DBMS users, you can
have a separate pool for each DBMS user, which may contain as many or few
connections as you want. Some applications has a pool for the accounting
applications, and another for the sales applications etc. Some do have a
separate pool for john, jane, joe etc, each with one connection. Pools
can be created and destroyed dynamically using the dynamic pool API.

Enterprise User and Multi Thread Server

Hi,
We are going to build a system which uses a configuration:

Enterprise User
Multi Thread Server
Client apps accesses db over JDBC/SSL
Could some please share experience about issues regarding
using Enterprise User and Multi Thread Server ?
Is MTS transparant for Enterprise User authentication ?

If you build simpserv with -t, and set MIN and MAXDISPATCHTHREADS, you
should have an example of a multithreaded server.

10.6.2 SMB - QB 2005 PC won't run in Multi User

Hi there,
This is a pretty specific issue but i'll throw this out anyway.
I setup a brand new 10.6.2 server alongside our old 10.4.11 server.
I cloned the contents of the "shared data" from the old box to the new one.
We have had the SMB service running for Quickbooks 2005 running on 2 PCs (Xp Pro clients), shared via QB's "Multi User" mode.
The new server's SMB share, identical in permissions etc to the old one, will not allow QB to open the file in Multi User mode. It gives an error to the effect of "Your company file has been damaged". My attempts to repair the QB file had no effect.
If I copy the same company file back onto our old Tiger Server's SMB share, it works fine. I assume this is simply a difference in Samba versions, but I have no idea how to troubleshoot it.
I obviously have a workaround for now, but it's less than ideal to have an entire Xserve on to share a Quickbooks file.
Any insight would be appreciated.
~p

Bumped into this article; I'll post back after i give it a shot.
http://edoceo.com/liber/network-samba-quickbooks
The gist of it:
"the directories that will be the root of the share must be owned by the group that the users who will access are in and they must be able to write"

Set Database Back to Multi User from Single User

I am using SharePoint Services 3.0 (SP1) with default configuration options, which installs the Microsoft##SSEE instance of SQL to my local C:\ drive.
While attempting to relocate the files to another drive, I set one of the databases (as recommended) to Single User by using the SQL Server Management Express tool.
I cannot now reset that database to Multi User, even by executing the query
exec sp_dboption 'database_name', 'single user', ''FALSE'
again by using the Management Express Tool.
Can someone please help, in plain english???? Thanks

I have similar issue.
I have took backup of WSUS (Windows Server 2002 R2) Windows internal database using SQL Server 2008 Management Studio and restored on Windows Server 2012 R2 Server.
Now SUSDB database was in Single User mode. I have tried ALTER DATABASE <<Database Name>> SET MULTI_USER WITH NO_WAIT and i'm getting blow error.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
How i can change it Multi User?

File structure and Multi-user access/control

Hi All
Currently evaluating RH. Our plan is to use RH HTML with RoboServer and either SourceSafe or Team Foundation for source control. We will be producing the "printed" manual (PDF) and publishing online help (hopefully html via RH server) from the single source layout
Given that we will edit content in RH's XHTML editor, I'm not clear on when we should create new files or the granularity of multi-user access. We have 17 apps and I plan to use a master project and merging (because we need to link to related topics in other apps).
I'm really not sure what should constitute a file in RH. First off, is access controlled at the file level?
I want to have multiple authors editing the same manual at the same time, so do I need to break the manual into multiple small files (currently it's a single word doc)?
If I do break it into multiple files, what's the best approach: 1 file per topic (or is this a requirement)?
Finally, when I come to generate the PDF, will the files be combined. (i.e. can I have different page-breaks than I have in the RH project)?
Any pointers greatly appreciated
Regards
Mark

Hi,
First off, is access controlled at the file level?
Not sure what you mean by that. In source control, you can check in/out ever file independent. Sometimes dependent files will be automatically checked out, for instance images used in the css when you check out the style sheet.
I want to have multiple authors editing the same manual at the same time, so do I need to break the manual into multiple small files (currently it's a single word doc)?
That be the idea. Anyway, it's not a good idea to have an entire RoboHelp project in a single topic. You probably want to cut up your contents into the small chunck: topics.
If I do break it into multiple files, what's the best approach: 1 file per topic (or is this a requirement)?
In RoboHelp a topic is a HTML file. RoboHelp doesn't force you to split up content into one or more topics. If you are creating help for the web, you want the information to be organized in relatively small chunck so users can quickly scan through it.
Finally, when I come to generate the PDF, will the files be combined. (i.e. can I have different page-breaks than I have in the RH project)?
Not sure what you mean by page breaks. As RoboHelp creates HTML files, there are no page breaks such as in paper manuals. When you create a PDF, you combine the topics you need into a single document.
If a PDF is required for you, you may want to consider not using RoboHelp for your sources. A PDF created by RoboHelp is useful for internal use, but it never seems to get good enough to give to customers. Personally, when a PDF version of a manual is required, I create the manual in FrameMaker and link or import the book into RoboHelp. You can also link Word documents, so you may want to play around with that before deciding whether to use Word, RoboHelp or FrameMaker for your source.

Multi user application control data access

Dear all,
i am using Oracle Developer Suite 10g and database 10g, windows xp plate form.
i want to develop multi user application regarding education.
i have two questions.
1. i take a start from creating an HR database which have 30 tables.
this database has 10 users.
the users will log on from their own schema.
how they will access the HR schema?
should i create a public synonym for each table in the HR Schema?
or should i create a view for each table in each user schema?
or should i grant select,insert,update etc to each user on HR schema?
2. i want to control the data access for each user.
i.e. every student could access his own academic record. each teacher access his own related record, the manager the owner and so on.
how to accompolish this task? oracle roles are not sufficient for this purpose.
Your help is highly appriciated.

How about you start with the basic stuff, like the 2 days developers guide:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/to_toc?pathname=appdev.112/e10766/toc.htm
and make it to the advanced developers guide:

and work your way through the concepts manual:

and everything else which sounds interesting to you in here:

As for your first question this should be covered here:

Aperture as a Multi-User Digital Asset Management Tool

Does anyone have any experience using Aperture in a multi-user environment? I'm trying to compare it to Cumulus by Canto which is designed as a multi-user tool.
I realize that each user would have a copy of Aperture on their Mac, but are there other issues that are not such as multi-variable searching capabilities of one versus the other. My gut tells me that Cumulus is more robust and can handle much larger libraries as well as all types of digital data and can search within document such as InDesign for a particular image.
Thanks
--Mitch

There is no possible way you can use Cumulus and
actually save money.
I don’t expect to save money. I expect to save time finding info, and avoiding duplication of almost everything we have
Stepping into digital asset management is a far bigger
issue than your boss can imagine. Try not to take this
personally, but your initial question about using
Aperture as an enterprise or workgroup DAM suggests you
have no idea what you're suggesting or possibly getting
into. Canto is all smoke and mirrors unless you can
afford the training and have dedicated, competent and
engaged support personnel.
Nothing taken personally. The question was asked because management is promoting Aperture as the end-all and be-all of imagement, whereas I’m looking for a tool to manage all our documents
Before you go much further, you need to understand
databases and you need to understand that DAM's return
on investment is not about saving money, it's about
preventing the spending of money; a huge difference and
there are few mgrs who can parse that difference from
the sales hype. Buy a copy of "The DAM Book" and try to
get someone to explain databases, cataloging
applications and server-based storage to you.
I understand databases quite well, but I will get a copy of the book you mentioned. I am running an Xserve in my environment, so I do understand servers and OS X Server.
I wish you tremendous luck and hope your experiences
are better than most of the Canto customers I have ever
met, including me. You just have no idea how expensively
wrong your decision to employ Cumulus could turn out to
be. Not that it's a bad product (although we thoroughly
despise it); it's sold as a miracle. Cumulus is a
supremely complex (not necessarily complicated),
over-designed and totally un-Macintosh application.
What version of Cumulus are you using, and why are you so unhappy with it? May I contact you off line to discuss this?
Thanks for the reply

Multi-threaded server programming

Hello, I meet a problem and don't know how to solve it: I have created a multi-threaded server program which receives multiple users from their own PCs. The server program receives users'commands and echo it back to all users who are currently connecting to my server. I store every clientSocket connecting to my server into a vector. My question is: how the server broadcasts a user command to other users? And how the server knows to which user he will echo the command to since the hostName and port number are the same to every user currently connecting to my server? Thanks a lot.

You should look at extending the Socket class to encorporate user details. Either use what peter suggested or make the user pass a username (or something) when they connect.
When you want to broadcast to all users just enumerate through your vector and send each one the command. If you mean the user performs a task on their application and you want to produce the same results in all the other users apps then its down to you to code it. When user1 clicks on a button the app must send a command (eg. a string) to the server which sends the same string to all other users. When the user receives this string it performs some task.
Is that what you mean?
Ted.
