Uses for Invocation Service

Is the Invocation Service meant to be used for general purpose concurrency? If members of an Invocation write how would I commit or rollback?

Hi Gary,
     I'm not sure what you are asking.
     The invocation service is used for doing clustered invocations, for example, invoking an agent on one or more servers in the cluster.
     The cache services are the ones that are transactional.
     Now, you can do things with the cache from the agents executing in the invocation service (that is quite common).
     Does that help explain it? Please clarify the question if it doesn't.
     Peace,

The server farm account should not be used for other services

I have created a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm. I only used the Farm Configuration Wizard to create the Search Service Application, all other aspects of the Farm was created using PowerShell.
The SharePoint Health Analyzer is reporting the following error:
Title: The server farm account should not be used for other services.
Severity: 1 - Error
Category: Security
Explanation: DOMAIN\FARM_ACCOUNT, the account used for the SharePoint timer service and the central administration site, is highly privileged and should not be used for any other services on any machines in the server farm. The following services were
found to use this account: Distributed Cache Service(Windows Service)
Remedy: Browse to
http://centraladminsite:port/_admin/FarmCredentialManagement.aspx and change the account used for the services listed in the explanation. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142685".
Now I understand how to change the account used to run the Distributed Cache Service, but my query is what account should I use in the least privelage model? I have setup the following 6 accounts as per TechNet guidelines (Link)
and am not sure if one of these accounts should be used or if another account is required:
SQL Server service account
Setup user account
Server farm account
SharePoint Server Search service account
Default content access account
Application pool identity
After reviewing the TechNet article again, I don't fully understand the section titled "Service application accounts". Is the article advising me to create a seperate account for each row in the table? e.g. 1 account for Business Data Connectivity
Service, a different account for "Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service", another account for "App management" and another account for "Distributed Cache", so 4 extra accounts if I choose to install all of these services
within the Farm?
Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?

Inder: Yes, It is suggested to have multiple service account for each service application. This increases security and dependencyof 1 account on multiple Service applications. Like below
SQL Server service
Local System account (default)
Setup user
Member of the Administrators group on the local computer
Server farm
Network Service (default)
No manual configuration is necessary.
SharePoint Server Search Service
By default, this account runs as the Local System account.
If you want to crawl remote content by changing the default content access account or by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account. If you do not change this account to a domain user account, you cannot change the default content access account
to a domain user account or add crawl rules to crawl this content. This restriction is designed to prevent elevation of privilege for any other process running as the Local System account.
Default Content Access
No manual configuration is necessary if this account is only crawling local farm content. If you want to crawl remote content by using crawl rules, change this to a domain user account, and apply the requirements listed for a server farm.
Content Access
Same requirement as the default content access account.
Profile import Default Access
Same requirements as server farm.
Excel Services Unattended Service
Must be a domain user account.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263445%28v=office.15%29.aspx
Also, what does the article mean when it says "Plan one set of an application pool and proxy group for each service application that you plan to implement."? How do I go about doing this?
Inder: Each service account has a application pool and you can plan to use same application pool for multiple
service accounts if required. These application pool are then consumed by proxy connection
of each service application. On service application pool, you can see all the service applications and its proxy connection.

Exporting a List to Excel to use for Excel Services WebPart (not working)

Hey everyone, here's the scenario. I'm trying to export a list to excel and save it to a library. All the connections are saved. Now. I want that excel file to render as a web part. When I make a change on the list and try to refresh the data connection
I get the error below. Please help
AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY

Hi,
I did a test as the followings:
Create a list, and add some items into it.
Export the list into a Excel file, then upload the excel file to a library.
When I opened the file via Excel service, I saw the a yellow warning about unsupported features.
Then I created a wiki page, and add Excel Web Access web part and connect the web part to the excel file.
When I refresh all data conections, nothing happened.
From the article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms496823.aspx (they are similar with SharePoint 2013)
SharePoint lists are not supported for Excel service. So, it may cause this issue.
I suggest you click "Open in Excel" to open the file in Excel application, then refresh the data connection, and save back to SharePoint. Then after you refresh the page, the data of the Excel Web Access web part will refresh.
Thanks,
Wendy

Is there a standard competency catalog available in Oracle Fusion TM that can be used for IT Services Organizations?

We are planning to build a competency catalogue to be used in our company, which is an IT services organization. Is there a standard competency catalogue available in HCM which can be used by IT Services organization? Or should it be built from scratch using place holders available in HCM?

Is the database on the server with the Niagara chipset ? If so, there are known performance issues for this combination. See MOS Doc 781763.1 (Migration from fast single threaded CPU machine to CMT UltraSPARC T1 and T2 results in increased CPU reporting) for details.
Bottom line, the Niagara chipset is not recommended for database servers - they are fine for application or web servers.

Which service type to use for Proxy Service

I have a question regarding a Proxy service.
I have a need for a local (transport local) Proxy service which is called by another proxy service.
It is a synchronous service which has an XML incoming message and an XML outgoing message.
I have the following questions:
- Does it make a difference in performance when I choose a WSDL webservice or a Messaging service?
- Which one would you choose and why?
Thanx

Does it make a difference in performance when I choose a WSDL webservice or a Messaging service?Hardly there would be any difference.
Which one would you choose and why?I would choose XML type messaging type proxy because input and output are XML messages. I won't choose WSDL web-service because it should be used in case of SOAP packagaing only (in web-service context, to enable SOAP and WS support) to mock a web-service which has a WSDL (and a XSD) associated with it.

ESB: Invoking HTTP/S using SOAP Invocation service

I have a requirement to call a secured web service (SSL using mutual/client-server authentication) using Oracle ESB. I could not find any documentation regarding configuring the ESB server with the public key.
I did find documentation for BPEL [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28982/security.htm#CHDDIEHD]. Could someone point me to something similar for ESB
On a related note, can I secure any of my services on ESB without using OWSM?
Regards,
DK

Answering my own question, the instructions given for BPEL are applicable for ESB as well.
Essentially the same keystore is used by both. No additional configuration is neccessary if ESB has to invoke secured web services.

IPad 1 SIM use for 4G service?

I will probably be able to answer this Friday when I get the new iPad but I was wondering if anyone knows anything or if anyone familiar with AT&T could help.
I have an iPad 1 with 3G service provided by AT&T.
Will I be able to simply swap out the SIM card from my iPad 1 into the new iPad and get 4G LTE service?
Or do I need to use the specific SIM card that comes with the new iPad?

Answer:
You have to use the SIM card included with the New iPad 3 if you want 4G LTE service.
But it's really easy to activate it. Go to the cellular data section in Settings, and just follow the logical prompts. You'll select that you already have an iPad plan, log in, and it will transfer your account to your new iPad 3; the plan will automatically upgrade to LTE and you can keep your previous plan on the same cycle.

How many PVDM4 can be used in 44xx for IP services?

The PVDM4 Q&A says:
Q. Where are the PVDM4 DSPs installed?
A. Unlike previous generations of PVDM2 and PVDM3 DSP modules, the PVDM4 modules are installed directly on the T1/E1 NIM. Depending on the number of channels required, the appropriate DSP module is installed on the NIM.
For IP services such as transcoding and conferencing, the PVDM4 DSP module can be installed on the motherboard of the 4451-X ISR platform.
What it does not tell: when I am in need for more than one PVDM4 DSP module (more than 256) for IP services, can I install the additional one on dummy NIM modules and use the PVDM4 module on the NIM modules also for IP services?

Yes, resources not used in the NIM can be used for IP services

Look for: components used for Service Brokerage (CSB) for mobile networks

Hey Anthony,
Yes, a lot to read, thanks for reading though!
For the External Web Services, since I have it set to fe-pool.domain.local right now, I figure this is as simple as flipping it to fe-pool.domain.com within Topology Builder | Enterprise Edition Front End Pools | Edit properties | Web services?
After which, I assume I will need to create a new host A record for fe-pool.domain.com, pointing to the Pub IP 1.2.3.4 I have set up to forward directly onto my FE Server of 18.20? I am a bit of confused as to how this external web service is contacted,
does the mobile app use lyncdiscover.domain.com to find this information? In other words, does the lyncdiscover allow the mobile app to get inside the topology, the topology reports to the mobile app that "Hey, fe-pool.domain.com is going to be your External
web service as defined in the topology" ? If its just that easy this should be a quick change.
As for your next question, on the F5 level I'm pretty certain it is just set to take any packets coming in from pub IP 1.2.3.4 : 80 or 8080, or 443, or 4443, to allow it to go to that FE server IP on any of those ports. I don't believe it is actually taking
a 443 packet, and converting it into a 4443 destination. Also note, I am forcing lyncdiscover to use port 80, instead of 443 because I am unable to get a new pub cert with the lyncdiscover SAN.
As for the domain user, it is simply just my single user and I am flipping the SIP domain in the control panel within the user properties. domain.com and domain.local are both configured SIP domains in my topology, however i have domain.com as the default.

Invocation service only processing on a single node (Coherence 3.4).

I'm trying to run a task on each node using the invocation service. The task should return a list of report files from each node.
The service is setup as follows:
 <invocation-scheme>
 <scheme-name>agents</scheme-name>
 <service-name>agents</service-name>
 <serializer>com.tangosol.io.DefaultSerializer</serializer>
 </invocation-scheme>
And accessed as follows, using the deprecated getInvocationService method:
 InvocationService service = CacheFactory.getInvocationService("agents");
 Map<Member, List<String>> reportQuery = service.query(new ReportFilesnameAgent(), null);
When I access it in this way, the ReportFilesnameAgent only runs on a single node, despite the following listing both cluster nodes:
 Set memberSet = service.getCluster().getMemberSet();
I even tried to force it to run on all nodes by passing the member set to the query method, but this made no difference:
 Map<Member, List<String>> reportQuery = service.query(new ReportFilesnameAgent(), memberSet);
If I access the service using the recommended (non-deprecated) method:
 InvocationService service = (InvocationService) CacheFactory.getService("agents");
Coherences throws the following:
 Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing scheme for service: "agents"
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance,
Cormac.

Using iPod location services to find my way round new places

I like to use location services with map apps (such as OffMaps and MapsWithMe) to help me find my way around new places.
I understand that the information ipod uses for location services, the positions of various wifi transmitters, is stored in an Apple database and that the location result is likely to be very approximate. My problem is that I cant figure out how and when the relevant data arrives in my ipod. Typically it seems that when in a new town, during my first wander round the place, the ipod does not know where it is - locations will not be shown on these map apps. On subsequent travels through the town iPod does seem to know where it is and displays its location on the maps quite nicely. (But by then of course I too know my way around and so don't need theiPod;s assistance so much to help figure out where I am.)
So my questions are
1) At what point does the ipod get to store the crucial location information? I'm wondering for instance whether the ipod remembers the SSIDs as it encounters them, but only learns about their locations when it is next connected to the internet?
2) I'd like to know how much of this information the iPod can remember and for how long is it remembered. (If I go back to a place visited last year will any of the previously "learnt" locations be remembered by the iPod. I may well have forgotten my way round the place by then and the iPod's help would be useful)
3) Is it possible to "teach" the ipod about known wifi locations in a particular geographical area before visiting the area. That would be a tremendous boon to me.

Good questions. However, I have never seen or heard about any information from Apple about how the iPod (and wifi-only iPad) really determine location. I am waiting for answers from other users.

Which FM/BAPI is used for creating repair orders

Hi,
Please tell me which FM / BAPI is used for creating service notifications,Repair/Service order and Delivery Docs.How to find out??
Please someone help me.
Thanks,

For service notification you can try using this.
'BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE'

Why would you use a managed service account rather than a virtual account in SQL Server 2012?

In SQL Server 2012, service accounts are created as
virtual accounts (VAs), as described
here, as opposed to
managed service accounts (MSAs).
The important differences I can see for these, based on the descriptions:
MSAs are domain accounts, VAs are local accounts
MSAs use automagic password management handled by AD, VAs have no passwords
in a Kerberos context, MSAs register SPNs automatically, VAs do not
Are there any other differences? If Kerberos is not in use, why would a DBA ever prefer an MSA?
UPDATE:
Another user has noted a
possible contradiction in the MS docs concerning VAs:
The virtual account is auto-managed, and the virtual account can access the network
in a domain environment.
versus
Virtual accounts cannot be authenticated to a remote location. All virtual accounts
use the permission of machine account. Provision the machine account in the format
<domain_name>\<computer_name>$.
What is the "machine account"? How/when/why does it get "provisioned"? What is the difference between "accessing the network in a domain environment" and "authenticating to a remote location [in a domain environment]"?

Hi,
“Virtual accounts cannot be authenticated to a remote location. All virtual accounts use the permission of machine account. Provision the machine account in the format <domain_name>\<computer_name>$.”
“The virtual account is auto-managed, and the virtual account can access the network in a domain environment. If the default value is used for the service accounts during SQL Server setup on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, a virtual account
using the instance name as the service name is used, in the format NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>”
Per the above description, they are two concepts and not conflict with each other.
As you understand, virtual account access network resources by using the credentials of the computer account. Generally, computer account will not be granted permission unless giving the computer account permission on the shared folder manually.
Thanks.

Clarification on services-config.xml files for RemoteObject services

I am currently preparing an AMFPHP environment for exchanging
data with Flex and AIR applications. I can connect to the services
via Netconnection, but using RemoteObject won't work.
Documentation for the necessary configuration files
(services-config.xml, remoting-config.xml and the like) is, um,
sparse and seems to be slightly incorrect or misleading at times.
So I'm looking for clarification about
changes in the syntax of services-config.xml · in
examples for Flex 2.01, there are "class" attributes with values
beginning with "flex.", in Flex 3 examples the attribute name has
changed to "type", values beginning with "flex." have mostly
vanished and been replaced with similar looking values beginning
with "mx.". Are "flex." and "mx." prefixes interchangable?
correct syntax for linking other files into
services-config.xml · the livedocs state that Adobe
prefers linking files into services-config.xml (using something
like <service-include file-path="remoting-config.xml"/>)
instead of defining all service parameters there. But in the
example from the Flex 2.01 livedocs, the root element of the
service-config.xml file is <services> instead of
<services-config>. Assuming that <services> is meant as
a
child of the <services-config> root element, there
seems to be a mandatory <service> child element missing.
That's either intended, illogical, and misleading, or simply
erroneous.
which classes are still valid in Flex 3, which have changed?
· Most of the examples for using RemoteObjects out there are
for FlexBuilder 2 (e.g.
here)
and don't seem to work with FlexBuilder 3 Beta 2. But there is no
statement to be found in the Flex 3 documentation about what has
changed.
a meaningful example for services-config.xml · In the
Flex 3 Beta 2 documentation here are plenty of references to using
services-config.xml, as I can find even information about the
ServerConfig class in the ActionScript 3 Language Reference, a sort
of wrapper class for the information provided in
service-config.xml, but there is no information about what
constitutes a
working service-config.xml configuration (which XML tags of
what names containing what attributes need to be present).
As I'd really like to create cutting-edge Flex and AIR OCC
applications, I'm eager to have those ambiguities clarified.
Best regards,
Cathness

From the docs it looks like this is used for web services as
well:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/dataservices_config_100_3.html#260186
If this isn't the right config file, which file should I be
looking at?

Fix for excessive data usage for "mapping services"?

I'm experiencing a problem where my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.2 (though I saw this problem with 7.1.1 as well) uses huge amounts of cellular data (500 MB+) while sitting idle. Looking at usage in the Cellular section of settings reveals that the data is being used for "mapping services" under system services. I've turned off location services for all but a very few apps that truly require it. I've also turned off background refresh for all apps, cellular data for most apps and system services, as well as turning off the frequent locations feature. Unfortunately, even after making these changes, the problem occurs. Some searching does reveal a few other people reporting this (e.g. here). Unfortunately, I haven't found any reports of working solutions.
I'm traveling in Africa, and using relatively expensive prepaid data, so this problem is actually costing me real money, having used up 2 GB (~$60). If anyone has seen this and discovered a real fix, I would love to hear about it!

I had the same problem. Mapping Services used 1G of data over night while I was sleeping. My location services are turned off and anything else that could use mapping services. I reported the problem to Vodacom (Network service provider in South Africa) and they told me they had numerous complaints regarding this and they are going to refund my money, BUT they cannot tell me how to solve the problem going forward. Vodacom advised that Apple are upgrading their maps from Google Maps to their own iMaps application and that is why the data is being depleted in the background. This makes no sense to me though. How can they take data from customers to upgrade their systems. Very frustrating.
My next step is to go into the apple store and see if they can do anything. If I happen to find a solution from apple I will be sure to let you know!
