Using LocationServer.xml breaks share credentials

I have multiple deployment shares setup (Production, Development, International, etc.) and I am trying to use one boot environment for all. I have followed to the documentation about LocationServer.xml, removing the DeployRoot property from Bootstrap.ini,
placed the custom LocationServer.xml in \\Share$\Extra Files\Deploy\Control, added Extra Files to the PE settings, and updated the Deployment Share to create a new iso and wim. When the deployment wizard launches it correctly
displays the location wizard with the deployment shares' friendly names in the drop down list. But when I try to connect any share it prompts for credentials, which are defined in the Bootstrap.ini. I cannot find any documentation for how to define the deployment
share user credentials within the LocationServer.xml file to automate this portion. If I cannot automate the user credentials, then the LocationServer.xml function is pretty much useless for me.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Wayne C.

As a workaround you can comment out the following lines in DeployWiz_Validation.vbs
' Get the credentials and connect to the share!
oEnvironment.Item("UserID") = ""
oEnvironment.Item("UserDomain") = ""
oEnvironment.Item("UserPassword") = ""
I only comment out the userid and userdomain; this way i only need to type a password and click ok.
If you want it to be fully automated.... it looks a little tricky.  Once I get my environment up 100% I may look into this further.  Hopefully mdt 2012 will fix this; haven't had a chance to mess with the beta yet.

  • MDT 2013 and locationserver.xml prompting for credentials

    I have multiple locations we are sharing our DeploymentShare so we are using a LocationServer.xml file to pull from one of those locations.   We have everything working except that we can not get rid of the credentials prompts.
    Does anyone have a solution for that ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Have you replicated all the system folders in the Public Folder to the Exchange 2013 server, especially for the EFORMS REGISTRY folder since the Outlook will try to access this
    folder when loading and Organization Forms templates.
    Happy New Year!

  • MDT 2013 Remote Monitoring and LocationServer.xml

    I recently set up MDT remote monitoring on our main deployment server and I've noticed some odd behavior. I have two shares on the server (one for deploying Server OSes and one
    for deploying Client OSes). Oddly enough remote monitoring appears to pick up any server OS deployment just fine, but when I deploy a client OS it never picks it up. The only real difference between these two is the boot media. On the boot media for deploying
    client OSes I'm using LocationServer.xml to allow my helpdesk team to select from a list of several deployment shames. Could this be the reason why it’s not working and (assuming it is) is there any way to fix it?

    Check monitoring is enabled in the customsettings.ini of the client os share.

  • Is it possible to break an edit into small scenes, and then sew them together, but without losing quality by using the 'publish and share' options?

    Is it possible to break an edit into small scenes, and then sew them together, but without losing quality by using the 'publish and share' options?

    redflashred
    What is important here is that you know the properties of your source file(s), set the project preset to match the properties of those source files, and then export with settings as close as possible to the original. Often you can do this without noticing quality differences in the export.
    I am understanding and defining your issue as you wanting to maintain the quality of the original imported files in the export. If that is the case, the please supply the following, and I will give you a step by step
    a. What are the properties of your source files (including bitrate). Here I am looking for
    video compression
    audio compression
    frame size
    frame rate
    interlaced or progressive
    pixel aspect ratio
    file extension
    A quick way to get that type of information is knowing the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
    2. Based on that information we can set manually a project preset to match those source property.
    3. When we go to export...example Publish+Share/Computer/ and your choice and its preset, we can customize the preset selected
    under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of that preset in order to try for the best possible match between the properties of the
    original file and the properties of the export.
    But, please let us know if you also need help in trimming the original import at the Timeline level prior to export.
    Your mention of Publish+Share suggest that you are working with Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13. What is the computer operating system?
    Thanks.

  • Can you use an XML file to make Subclips for you?

    Hi everyone,
    I know this is a bit of a long-shot, but I am wondering if I can use an XML file(made after logging a few tapes, but before capture) to make subclips for me?
    Basically I have a painful project with 2 tapes i had to capture separately as 1 long individual clip each due to time-code breaks, but as i did first Log & Capture as usual (only to later find it wouldn't batch capture) i didn't want my hard work to go to waste!
    Hope I explained that clearly enough,
    Adam
    Message was edited by: Chocboy

    I'm assuming you captured using the non-controllable device setting and have the clip including TC breaks and blank areas etc.
    Try this:
    Load the clip into the Viewer and play it. Press M to set markers wherever you want them.
    If you want to give the marker a more decriptive name, press M a second time whilst the playhead is positioned on the marker. A dialog will open with text input fields. Or, click the marker in the Browser, then click the marker’s name to select it. You can now change the name.
    Drag in the Browser to select all the markers or click the first one, then shift click the last one.
    Choose Modify > Make Subclip. This will make all the subclips in one go and if you gave your markers new names, your subclips will use them.
    The subclips appear in addition to the original clip with the markers. You can rename the subclips, if you want. You can review the subclips, deleting any clips you might not need. If you do remove unused clips, you can use the Media Manager to remove your unused footage from disk, leaving the media for your remaining subclips alone.

  • Connect to SharePoint web service using the XML / Web Service connector

    Hi experts,
    I am currently trying to display my SharePoint list in Crystal Report. Therefore my plan is to use a SharePoint web service to get the data and paste them to the Crystal Report.
    Is it possible to use the "XML and Web services" connector of the Crystal Reports database expert?
    When I enter the web service URL, for instance:
    https://[url]/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?wsdl
    and click next... I have to enter the web service credentials.
    On the next page I have to enter Service, Port and Method.
    Do I have to enter the service URL again here?
    What If, there is no port? Can I leave that field empty?
    I know the methods, but where can I add the mandatory parameters?
    Thanks for any helps and comments!
    Sebastian

    Hi Ananth,
    thank you, but this document does not help at all.
    We are using Crystal Reports 2008 SP2.
    We want to use the Web Service Connector.
    What I need is more informationen about the Web service connect. For example - the connection in Microsoft InfoPath is much easier - there I don't have to enter a port and can choose the methods from a list.
    Is it possible to use the Crystal web service connector for MS SharePoint Webservices?
    Or must I use the Crystal SDK to carry out a connection?
    Best regards,
    Sebastian

  • Stop weblogic services using StartStopServices.xml parameter leaves cmd.exe

    When using the "Start > All Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > Stop BI services" function it calls the StartStopServices.cmd file. This file then references the StartStopServices.xml file using the following statement;
    <target name="stop_all" depends="set.is.stop.all, opmn.stop, wls.mgd.stop, wls.wait.mgd.shutdown, del.generated.managed.server.credentials, wls.stop, wls.wait.admin.shutdown, del.generated.admin.server.credentials">
         </target>
         <target name="set.is.stop.all">
         <property name="is.stop.all" value="true"/>
         </target
    The problem that I'm having is that when the weblogic services are successfully stopped, 2 cmd.exe windows are left open on the server. I've created a batch file to call the StartStopServices.cmd and added parameters such as
    Sleep.exe 30
    c:\windows\system32\TASKKILL.exe /F /IM cmd.exe /T
    Theoretically this should pause for a few, and then close the open cmd windows. However whenever the StartStopServices.cmd is called it closes the original command window before any statements are executed. So essentially I don't get to the taskkill or sleep parameters. I'm assuming that I need to edit the XML file somewhere to make it so it doesn't stop_all and close, but simply stops all and allows my added entries in the cmd windows to execute so ALL cmd windows are closed.
    I'm scheduling a backup using RMAN in NOARCHIVELOG mode, and need to stop the weblogic processes in order to complete this backup function. However I need to end these cmd windows otherwise over the course of time they will be cascaded everywhere. Has anybody accomplished this?

    Hope still you need a solution for your question.
    Follow these steps to achive as expected file using StartStopServices.xml, do let me know for any questions.
    File loc: MW_HOME\instances\instance3\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication
    1) I've added a new target attribute( as 'veera' to existing code) at the end of the tag
    <target name="stop_all" depends="determine.language, set.is.stop.all,find.or.get.credentials, opmn.stop, wls.mgd.stop, wls.wait.mgd.shutdown, del.generated.managed.server.credentials, wls.stop, wls.wait.admin.shutdown, del.generated.admin.server.credentials, veera">
    </target>
    2) Added new code as show below
    <target name="veera" if="wls.domain.exists" depends="wls.check.exists" description="Stop WLS">
    <echo message="Srini..." />
    <exec spawn="true" executable="cmd.exe" osfamily="windows" dir="${DOMAIN_HOME}/bin">
    <arg value="/c" />
    <arg value="taskkill /f /IM cmd.exe" />
    </exec>
    </target>

  • Dynamic User,Role,Group rather than use jazn.xml

    Hi everyone
    For Jdev 11..
    can anybody tell me how to make application wich can make user,group,role dynamically...
    rather than use jazn.xml...
    I thought if i use jazn.xml for register user and group its very static...
    I cannot make it dinamycally....
    I read OPSS and I cannot found the idea behind it...
    thanks...

    Hi,
    You can achieve this by using a sql authentication provider. It gets the users and their roles & credentials from the db tables which you can configure in WLS. In JSF, you can create a creation form based on the table (which you configured for authentication), which can be used for the users to register.
    Check out this doc for more information.

    Hi,
    Your error message are not displaying because u does not made Message-Resoucrce property file (Resource Bundle) when you make it .
    give it entry in

    <message-resources parameter="ApplicationResources" />
    and
    define key and corresponding error message to key in this ApplicationResources i.e
    #Error Resources
    label.search.ssNum=Plz Enter correct ssNum

  • How to force simple tags and null attributes to appear when using SQL/XML?

    Hello everybody:
    I'm developing a non-schema based XMLType view.
    When the XML document is generated, i noticed two things I need to manage in order to achieve the desired result:
    1. Oracle generates a <tag></tag> pair for each XMLELEMENT defined; in my case, some tags need to appear as <tag/>... how do I do? Is it possible when using schema based XMLType views? Is it possible while using a non-schema approach?
    2. When using XMLATTRIBUTE('' AS "attribute") or XMLATTRIBUTE(NULL AS "attribute"), no one attribute with label "attribute" and null value appears at the output; how do I force to Oracle DB to render those attributes which are with no values (needed to render those attributes as another parsing code will await for all the items)?
    3. Some tip about how to route the output to an XML text disk file will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello odie_63, thanks for your reply:
    Reasons why needed single tags are these two next: Needed to generate a single XML file from 50,000,000 rows, where the XML ouput matches not only row data but another default values for another elements and attributes (not from database but using strings and types with default values); by using start and end tag, the generated file is as much twice bigger than using single tags; second, needed a very precise presentation for all the document.
    For generating that document, currently focus is based on using a batch process relying on Spring Batch with using a single JDBC query where a join happens between two tables. From my point of view, that approach uses: database resources, network resources, disk resources, and processing resources, including the price of making the join, sending to network, creating objects, validating, and making the file (Expending too much time generating that XML file). That processs currently is in development.
    I think possibly another approach is delegating the complete generation of that file to the database using its XML capabilities. My current approach following your recomendations is to generate a clob where I will put all the XML and putting it into a table. It leads me to another issues: Considering limitations on memory, processing and disk space, needed to append a single row-as-xml into the clob as soon as possible, and putting the clob inside the field as soon as possible, or putting the clob inside the field, and appending into it as the data is generated; so How do I manage the process in order to achieve that goals?. Seen these issues aren't related to my original question, so I'll open a new post. Any help will be apreciated.
    Thanks again in advance.

  • Comparing video quality of AVCHD BluRay discs using Final Cut Pro Share vs Compressor

    Up front, I will admit to being a newbie when it comes to using Final Cut Studio 3 and would appreciate some feedback from the Apple forum experts.
    I have spent a lot of time trying to determine how to achieve an optimum group of Compressor 3.5.2 settings so that the playback video quality of an AVCHD BluRay disc is equal to or better than one created by using the simpler auto settings of FCPro Share, version 7.0.2.
    When using Compressor’s auto/default maximum settings, I experienced the same error message reported in:
    Error MessageDuring Creation of Blu-ray Disc in FCP and Compressor 3.5
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12073794#12073794
    I have since made some Compressor AVCHD Discs with smaller bit rate settings and compared video quality with a single FCP Share AVCHD disc.  Both seem to be equal in providing a very good video when viewed on my new Panasonic DMP BDT 310 BluRay player. However, the Compressor AVCHD discs show some motion artifacts not present with the FCPro Share version, especially when scrolling text or when objects are moving through the field of view, and visible artifacts are seen from a stationary chain link fence and other lattice work in the background of the video sample.
    My sample video used for the comparisons between Compressor and FCP Share discs is a 21 minute duration home movie, originally captured from a mini DV, Canon HV30 1080i camcorder using ProRes HQ encoding(1440x1080), and dragged into FC Pro 7.0.2 timeline where 10 chapter markers have been inserted. 
    To create an AVCHD disc using FCPro Share, Markers are used to set the IN and OUT points, Select IN to OUT from the timeline, pull down File Menu Share, Select Create BluRay from options in pop out Share pane, and designate output device along with picture files for Background, Logo, and Title options. When these are completed, click on Export.  My 21-minute video required almost two hours for encoding including about 10 minutes for burning. This accomplished on an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    To prepare this same 21-minute video for use with Compressor, I again Select IN to Out from the FCPro timeline, but this time use File Export as a QuickTime Self Contained movie including Chapter markers. Then Open Compressor, choose Create BluRay from Template pane, right click on the down arrow in the Batch window and load the QT self contained movie file. From there I went to the Inspector window and tried various combinations of bit rate settings along with Frame Encoder options such as Better or Best motion parameter controls.
    I have tried the following combinations of Bit rate settings along with varying Frame Encoder controls and burned an AVCHD disc for each example:
    Example A
    Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings OFF. Approximately 4 hours to encode although the time remaining estimator indicated a larger value of ~7 hours; not an accurate estimator at all. 
    Example B
    Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motionadaptive)” settings. Approximately 4 hours to encode, not the 13 hours that were estimated.
    Conclusion: Comparing A & B Compressor versions, Disc B showed some improvements in reducing motion artifacts over Disc A.
    Example C
    Compressor set to 13 Mbps Average and 15 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. DeInterlace was checked. Unknown hours to encode; about 8 hours done overnight..
    Conclusion: Disc C showed some minor improvements reducing motion artifacts over Disc B
    Example D
    Compressor Auto settings,i.e., 15 Mbps Average and 17 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. Approximately 12 hours to encode, done overnight. Inserted disc next morning after the overnight encoding was completed, and a few minutes later an error message pane appeared that the maximum bit rate had been exceeded.  This message was consistent with the Apple posted thread referenced above. Unfortunately the long overnight encoding was wasted.
    It seemed to me that the best Compressor settings for suppressing the motion artifacts were displayed by the disc burned in Example C, i.e.,  13/15 Ave/Max Mbps with“Better” Motion settings in the Frame Encoder.
    However, when this disc was compared to the AVCHD Disc burned using the FCPro Share, the latter still seemed much better. I do not know what the auto bit rate values are as set in FC Pro, but for me, the quality is quite good AND the motion artifacts are significantly reduced, especially evident with the scrolling text.
    Sorry about this long post, but I thought the detail would be necessary for the experts, and maybe helpful to others trying to get started in this BluRay arena.  Did I misuse Compressor?  I think the sample video exported as a self contained QT movie was the right thing to do?  Not sure where I went wrong.
    Thanks in advance for Feedback and Recommendations.  For now, I’m going to stay with the simpler process using Final Cut Pro Share function.
    BoBo

    Thank You, Brad, for responding;  glad to hear I'm not the only one having similar Compressor issues.  
    You may have hit on something.  Perhaps Compressor's use of H.264 encoding was the reason for my motion artifacts?  And perhaps Final Cut Pro Share retains the 1440x1080 quality as it burns the AVCHD BluRay disc?
    I had Toast 10 for less than 30 days a couple of years ago, and was lucky to get a refund.
    What version of Toast do you have?  Wondering if new Toast 11 has improved previous bugs, especially upgrading its Chapter text, pictures, music.  I would go back to Toast if it came close to mirroring DVD Studio Pro, or even iDVD capabilities.
    Thanks,
    BoBo

  • HOW TO: Use the XML parser in Oracle 8.1.7

    I am trying to figure out how to use the xml parser provided in oracle 8.1.7. all i want to do is parse a xml report that is defined using a schema, and place the data into the proper tables. i am totally unfamiliar with the xml parser and how it works. i have done some reading on the subject, but seem to be getting some conflicting infromation about which utilites i need and how to invoke them. can someone please tell me what utilities i need, how to invoke them, and what i need to do to get a xml document to parse and insert to a table? I would greatly appreciate any help anybody could offer. thanks.

    You can parse the XML Document with XML Parser and place the data into database using XSU(XML SQL Utility).
    Both of these are included in XDK for Java at:
    http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml/xdk_java
    The following document could also help:

  • Can I Use a XML file as Managed Resource?

    Hi,
    I have a XML file which has all employee details.
    Can I use that XML file as a Resource in IDM?
    If so please let me know the steps to do.
    Please help me in this regard.
    Thanks
    RMS

    No.
    Since the XML file you have has custom tags, there is not a way for IDM to understand it's contents.
    IDM does offer a "Simulated" resource, which is an XML based resource, but it has a defined structure. You might be able to alter your XML to match what the Simulated Resource expects, or better yet, get it into a database and use the database table adapter.
