Using WCS to compare WLC configurations

Hi all,
I have a number of controllers which have been individually administrered and as a result the configurations are no longer uniform. Is there a WCS feature which will allow me to compare differences between the controller configs?
Many thanks
Rhodri

Under WCS
Configuration Audit : controller-audit
Reports > Report Launch Pad > Compliance > Configuration Audit >
You can run reports on configurations.
Not sure if you can diff between controllers, but you can diff between WCS values and the controller(s)
The controller to controller diffs can be easily scripted via expect script

WLC configuration Backup with WCS

Hi,
What kind of backup is done with the configuration Backup Task in the WCS Administration.
Is this a backup of the actual running config on the WLC or is it the saved (startup) config on the controller?
Is there a way to view/edit a configuration backup from the controller?
Can I create a task on the WCS to do a cyclic/automatic save configuration to flash?
Regards Christian

the configuration backup is for the controllers
and the files live wherever you specified the tftp server location on install of WCS.
The WLC backup is the running config from when the backup was completed.
go to your tftproot directory to view the config
If you are running a rev that outputs in xml format AND you are not encrypting it on the WLC.
I would not try editing the file. The hash will be altered and the config backup file will be useless.
You want WCS to be able to run the command 'save config' on each controller? How handy are you with tcl scripting?

Wireless Design - WLC Configuration

Soon to be working on a design for a Wireless installation across one of our buildings. The wireless survery has been completed, and we'll be installing 175 APs, across the 3 floors of the
building.
With regards to the back-end WLC setup, I have a few queries around the WLC configuration. We're looking at implementing the 4400 series of devices, and due to us having nearly 200 APs, we'll need at least 2 x 4404 or 4 x 4402 - I'm assuming its simpler to have fewer devices to make management simpler.
Also, looking at the Cisco reference material, they recommend that a 4404 can support up to 100 APs, with regards configuring the ports on the box, would I need to configure LAG across the WLC
ports in order for it to accomodate all of the Access Points. If we were to go with a scenario of using 2 x 4404 devices, would we be in a position whereby if we lost a Controller, we'd lose
all of the Access Points associated with that Controller? In order for us to have full resiliency, we'd need an additional 4404 controller for the APs to failover on too?
From a licensing perspective, we'll be purchasing a licence to cover 200 APs.
TIA

Do you think that the phone carrier change the Android OS kernel and removed the proxy setting option before they sell it to consumers? If it's so why would they do such thing?
As far as I'm aware, no. Phone carriers don't care about wi-fi proxy. They won't make any money if they do and they equally won't make money if they don't. This "proxy" issue came straight from the developers of the Android OS themselves. It's been highlighted since day one of the Android release. This is why some browsers have incorporated proxy settings to their application because the Android OS developers are not interested to fix this shortfall.
RE: iPhone and iPad users if you use Windows proxy server and intergrated Windows authentication is enabled the credential should not be prompted for user if it's already entered in their devices.
Unfortunately, I don't have the details with me right now but I'll try to see if I still have this information when I go back to work.

Using WCS without AP

I did some searching but couldnt find what i was looking for so figured i would ask for help.
We use our WCS to deploy software and config on our WLC's (approx 100)
We don't need to manage/monitor the Access Points on our WCS only the WLC are needed.
Is there a way to not have the AP add on a WCS when you add a WLC ?
If not is there another Cisco tools wich can do the job ? Manage centraly only WLC (without the AP) ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmmm... Its like this.. The time we add the WLC to the WCS , all the AP will get added.. on top of that.. when we upgrade the WLC code, the AP registered to the WLC wil also reload the gets the latest software version as well..
Wat i meant was.. instead of monitoring the WLC from the WCS u can use SNMP and SNMP WALK..
In case if you want to upgrade the WLC using WCS then we need the WCS but we cannot opt out APs though..

WCS does need WLC or can works with stands alone APs

Hi all, I'm student and curently reading about WCS capacity. I would know if WCS requier AP to pass through a WLC to work with WCS or if WCS can work with multiple "stand alone" APs (without any WLC)
Thanks.

WCS can work with standalone APs that you can add in WCS.
Nevertheless the configuration options are limited.
The configuration guide is a good resource for more information.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html
Also you can get an evaluation license for WCS for 60 days for 20 APs.
You can download the software and play with it as well:

How can I use the hardware compare feature of the 6551 card to trigger scripts

I can dynamically and seamlessly generate different waveforms by triggering different scriptTriggers that drive one or more of the 4 PFI lines. However, I need to evaluate a channel at a specific location or locations set by a script marker in real-time and generate a different waveform stored in on-board memory based on the result of the evaluation. I have attempted to use the hardware compare feature without any success. I am trying to dynamically respond to an I2C device based on the ACKs or NACK response of the device under test. Can the 6551 card accomplish this? Has anyone successfully tested an I2C or SMBus communication stream with 6551 card?

Hello,
I can understand why hardware compare did not work out for you application. Hardware compare uses a signal that was generated to make a digital pattern and then waits a few clock cycles before acquiring the signal that needs to be compared to the digital pattern.
I would look into using a script trigger to evaluate the channel value, where the script structure controls when it is evaluated. Please note that script triggers will need to be cleared after they are detected for reasserting. Some script syntax actually clear the script trigger and then use a wait until script trigger structure. Please refer to the HS DIO Help for documentation on Common Scripting Use Cases.
Please provide us with further details about your application. The more information, the better! I was not too clear on what you where wanting to evaluate and where is it coming from.
I would also like to mention that National Instruments has a NI USB 8451 which is capable of I2C communication.

How to use a custom comparator in a TableSorter?

Hi,
I want to use a custom comparator for sorting a table by a specific column.
As you possibly know, the constructor for the TableSorter class looks like this:
TableSorter(IWDTable table, IWDAction sortAction, Map comparators);
As Map is an Interface I chose Hashmap as comparator container. So, I use the put(Key, Value) method to insert my own comparator into the Hashmap in order to deliver this Object to the TableSorter constructor.
But there is an essential problem:
I assume, that the column which is to be associated with my comparator is determined by the key of the Map object from the TableSorter constructor.
Presuming this, <u>what should the map key be/look like?</u>
An Integer counted from the columns? The column header as String? Whatever? Or am I on the wrong way?
PS:
Hours of search did not lead me to some kind of documentation or javadoc of the TableSorter class! This can't be, does someone have a link please?
Thanks a lot for any help.

(sorry Mrutyun, this did not help.)
Ok, I solved it; let me share it with you:
public class ExampleView
        public static void wdDoModifyView(IPrivateExampleView wdThis, IPrivateExampleView.IContextNode wdContext, com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDView view, boolean firstTime)
                 * A custom Comparator class is used for sorting by Severity.
                 * An Object of it is delivered to an object of a Map class to be delivered to the TableSorter constructor.
                 * The Map class consists of key-value pairs, and the TableSorter must accept the Key of it
                 * because he uses it to assign the mapped Comparator to the column of the table to be sorted!
                 * And this is done with the ID of the Element, which shall be sorted with the Comparator, used as Map Key.
                 * All other columns of the assigned tables will be sorted by default Comparators.
                IWDTable table = (IWDTable) view.getElement("[TableName]");
                HashMap tableComps = new HashMap();
                tableComps.put(view.getElement("[ColumnName]").getId(), new MyComp(wdContext.currentExampleElement())); //The map key value I looked for is the ID of the Element of the Column!
                wdContext.current/*yourContextNode*/Element().setTableSort(
                        new TableSorter(table, wdThis.wdGetSortTableRowAction(),
                                tableComps)); //Insert HashMap with the new Comparator
        public void onActionSortTableRow(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
        //@@begin onActionSortTableRow(ServerEvent)
                        wdContext.currentConfigurationElement().getTableSort().sort(wdEvent, wdContext.nodeOpenIncident());
        //@@end
As you see, the Column which is to be sorted by the custom Comparator "MyComp", is clearly assigned to it. Thus, is will only be used when sorting by this column is done.
The "inActionSort" method is as usual.
My Comparator sorts a column which contains variables of a "SimpleType" with an enumeration. (If you need help with this, feel free to write me.) To achieve this, the Comparator needs to know what this SimpleType consists of. That's why I deliver this Element per Constructor to it.
public class MyComp implements Comparator
     MappedNodeElement element;
     public SeverityComp(I/*one*/Element element)
          this.element = element;
     public SeverityComp(I/*another*/Element element)
          this.element = element;
     public int compare(Object severity1, Object severity2)
Because MappedNodeElement is such abstract, it can be used by several different Tables, provided they use the same SimpleType.
Concerning my quest for this resolution, I hope this is helpful.

When to use abstract class compared to interface

hi
can some one plase advise me when to use abstract class compared to interface?
Example will be appreciated...

So an abstract class can carry implementation. This can be used to formulate a rule of thumb as to when to use it over an interface.
If you have a so called type specialization relationship between the subtypes and the supertype then they're likely to benefit from shared implementation provided by the supertype, so use class (abstract or concrete) extension in this case. Type specialization is when the supertype represents a general concept like Fruit and the subtypes are specialized forms of that like Apple and Banana.
Another common kind of relationship is called type expansion. In this case the subtypes are unlikely to have any use of implementation provided by the supertype, so use interface implementation. Type expansion is when the supertype represents a specific character the subtypes take on. For example Apple and Bicycle ure unrelated in the type specialization sense but still can share a common character like Comparable. The subtypes have been expanded to include the supertype character, namely the ability to be compared.

Using expression to compare Calendar object

Hi,
I wonder if anyone has experience to use expression to compare Calendar object. Here is my case:
Application {
Calendar applicationDate;
What I want is something like:
expression.get("applicationDate").between(startDate, endDate);
But it is seems not working this way.
Any clue?
Thanks
Hao

What error are you getting, in general this should work, however the Calendar will be printed/bound as a java.sql.Timestamp.
If you require to use java.sql.Date if you just want the date portion of the Calendar.
If your mapping for applicationDate sets the fieldClassification (i.e. is a TypeConversionMapping), then TopLink will automatically convert the Calendar value in the expression to the correct date type.

F400917: The current configuration is not valid for this feature. This feature cannot be used until you correct the configuration.

Hello,
We recently changed to TFS as our bug tracking system and trying to understand how to change the existing states of Bug\Add new states. We installed TFS 2013 Update 4 and followed below process to change state values. For example, I would like to change
Bug State value of "Done" to "Closed",
1. witadmin exportwitd /collection:"http://MyServer:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection" /p:MyProject /n:Bug /f:C:\TFS\bug.xml
2. Replace all values of "Done" to Closed
3. witadmin importwitd /collection:"http://MyServer:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection" /p:MyProject /f:C:\TFS\bug.xml
Then we see below error in Work -> Backlog
TF400917: The current configuration is not valid for this feature. This feature cannot be used until you correct the configuration.
Learn about how to correct your configuration
Details about the validation error appear below:
The following element contains an error: RequirementBacklog/States. TF401098: This element defines the states for work items that appear on your backlog. The state configuration is incorrect. Each work item on this backlog must have one state with the type
'Complete'. The following work item type does not have any state with the type 'Complete': Bug.
The following element contains an error: BugWorkItems/BugWorkItems. TF400506: This element defines the states for work items that represent Bugs or Defects. Each state must exist in at least one of the work item types that are defined in: BugWorkItems.
The following states do not exist in any of the work item types: Done.
Tried export, made changes to ProcessConfig file for Bug states and imported. Still same issue.
Please suggest on how to proceed with customization of Bug states\values in TFS 2013 Update 4

Compare Portal configuration...Please guide

Hello All,
I need to compare Portal configuration between portal dev and qas servers.
Have extracted the following configs:
1. KM
2. PCD
3. J2EE
Questions:
-> KM - Following blogs KM transports: Part II & KM transports: Part III, the KM export file is generated with ConfigCM extension. I did try changing the extension from ConfigCM to ConfigfArchieve but I an unable to open the file either way.
Any guidance on this please.
-> PCD - Have exported entire PCD contents into this .epa file. How do I open this file?
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks,
Ritu

The EPA file is a WinRAR/ZIP file.
Comparing configurations is non-trivial, and you will have some challenges! There are often SIDs and instance numbers scattered through the config..

You can check all these out via the Web Part Maintenance Page. After the PageName.aspx, add ?contents=1 and you'll get a list of the webparts that are open and published on the page.
You can't do too much here but you can reset the parts that you think might be causing the problems.
