UWC change in config files

Hello ,
I have JES 05 Q4 installed.
I deployed, Communications Express (UWC) in the web server.
I did some changes in the configuration file "/opt/SUNWuwc/WEB-INF/config/uwcconfig.properties".
I want the change to take effect. I restarted the web server, but it didn't take the change.
How to make the change effective?
Thanks

i guess, u need to do the following
/opt/SUNWics5/sbin/stop-cal
/opt/SUNWics5/sbin/start-cal
hope this helps

Dashboard grouping without change in Config files

Hi Experts,
This has been asked many times,
To group the dashboards , we need to create the required dashboards under the same Group folder and need to ensure that the entry in the config file is set correctly.
Now here my problem starts ,
Lets consider that the concerned entry in the config file has been set to default which is I think 15.
Test Dashboard should have Three dashboards tagged as drop down for Test Dashboard,i.e when user clicks on Test dashboard he should see
Test-->
A
B
C
Now my problem is when someone who has access to more than 15 dashboards logs in , he sees the drop down menu dashboards but when a user who has access to let say 10 dashboards then he does not sees the required dashboards grouped but the individual dashboards appear separately i.e A B C.
I don't want to make any change in Config file now, is there anyway we can achieve this.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but I don't have any occurrence of the mentioned entry at all.
Still for some users I can see the grouping work while for some the grouping does not works. I am really wondering about this happening.
As per Oracle Presentation Administration Guide
"Oracle Business Intelligence typically displays the names of individual dashboards across the top of
the screen. To minimize the amount of screen space used for this, when there are more than 15
dashboard names to display, Oracle Business Intelligence creates a drop-down list from which users can choose the dashboard to view."
I don't think this requires a entry, having a entry is important only when you want to control the number of dashboards after which the drop down should work.
I would really like to know if anyone else has faced this issue before.
If anyone has any suggestion or can throw some light on this, it would be really helpful.
Thanks,

How can i change about:config file ? where is it saved ?

I see that it is impossible to start private browsing and navigate url in this private browsing programmaticaly.
So it seems like this may be a solution for me.
Which file does hold about:config ? So i can change it to start private browsing as default with a software and when done revert it to back.
Thanks.

Prefs that do not have the default value have their modified value stored in the prefs.js file in the Firefox profile folder.
You can create a user.js file with this line to make Firefox start in Private Browsing mode.
*user_pref("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", true);
Firefox read the user.js file on every start, so as long as this file is present then Firefox will start in Private Browsing mode.<br />
You can either move (copy) or rename this file to enable and disable it.

SPA122 Timezone Change via Config File

Hi,
I have been modifying the default XML cfg file that is created by the config compiler for the SPA112/122. Everything has been going smoothly apart from the time settings. On the SPA122 the config reads as follows:
<Time_Setup>
<Time_Zone>-08 1 1</Time_Zone>
<Auto_Adjust_Clock>1</Auto_Adjust_Clock>
<Time_Server_Mode>manual</Time_Server_Mode>
<Time_Server>europe.pool.ntp.org</Time_Server>
<Resync_Timer>3600</Resync_Timer>
<Auto_Recovery_System_Time>0</Auto_Recovery_System_Time>
<Time_Mode>1</Time_Mode>
</Time_Setup>
Now the "-08 1 1" under the timezone entry is for US Pacific Time, so GMT -08. I need to make the entry GMT 0 for UK time. I have tried a few different strings but these get ignored everytime. Does anyone know the options you have under this entry or what to set for UK time?
Best regards
Rob

Try to set the GMT 0 in the web GUI and get the xml config using this special url:
http://SPAIPaddress/admin/config.xml
In this way you can find the exact value used by SPA.
Regards.

I was infected by a virus and this changed proxy config to 127.0.0.1:64727, i removed the virus, but every time i start firefox i find the proxy configuration made by the virus.is there any config file i can change ?

I was infected by a virus (i can't remember the virus name). Antivirus removed it, but i think it changed some config file on FF, 'cause every time i try to restart it , i find it configured to use proxy 127.0.0.1:64727. I change every time the config, i also tried to change the config on the about:config and set network.proxy.type 5 , no port and no network proxy (so it's all on default) . I changed the config on the gui, i removed the config from windows registry ( IE and chrome start normally, with no proxy), but every time i restart FF i find the proxy config there. How can i fix it ?

I had the same problem.
Solution
'''Clear Virus First'''
-clear virus using either anti-virus or manually going into task manager and figuring out which processes are bad.
-If the manual way, go through each process in task manager and right click to "open file location". Depending on where it is located and the name of the process, you can google the process name online to see if it is bad.
-Delete the bad process file and as added security, create a folder using the name of the process so the file can't be recreated later. (example: If I had a virus "3dcr.exe" in folder c:\user, then delete "3dcr.exe" and create a new folder c:\user\3dcr.exe\ )
'''Fix Proxy Settings'''
-If your browser points an proxy server and you can't change the settings because every restart of firefox returns the settings back (even after changing in about:config or prefs.js or options>advanced>network>settings). The answer is to uninstall firefox with all its user preferences and the reinstall it.
*I know it is a bit brute force, but it was the only method I found to work. Just be sure to save your bookmarks first.

Should I use .INI or .XML config files on cRIO?

I'm looking to make a configuration file for an application running on a cRIO-9022. It will contain a small amount of configuration data (like numeric offsets, file paths, and IP addresses). I have 2 questions:
1) Which file format should I use (.ini or .xml)? I have used .INI in the past because it is human readable/configurable with notepad, but it seems like .xml is becoming the new standard
2) I would like to be able to modify config parameters on the PC that connects to the cRIO. What is the best way to modify the config file if it is stored on the cRIO hard disk (FTP the file to PC, make changes, FTP back? Network Streams?)

Thanks for the info.
Any clever ways of accessing and changing the Config File data from a LV application running on a PC that doesn't require manually editing the file? I want the operator to just be able to click a button that says "cRIO Config", open a dialog, and change the values from there.
uhm.... Yes!
In This Post I show a bit of my hand on just exactly what I keep in a ini.config file (wel,l 1 section of a config file) It would be nearly idiotic of me to not provide a Config editer since there are numerous Enum type defs in the delimited value for each key. so since I, as the developer, know what sections (and possibly keys) are there I can read the file and load them to indicators on a config editor GUI.
I've actually done this two ways-
1) a seperate app that only "admin Engineers" know the location of "Launch Config editor.exe.
2) In the application referanced above I have a button that opens a MODAL panel to edit the file (remember- I know what is in the file). Users need permissions (Users- Passwords and permissions are kept in a config file, of course!) to even display the "Edit Sequence" button. but the "super user" can edit the step parameters.
HINT: one of these "Steps" loads a xml file to expose telnet commands and config for the uP on the DUT. I expect the firmware on the Linux DUT will change in the future and did not want to rebuild my app whenever a typo was fixed in a command line tool. BUT, since there are "special characters" that do not fit nicely into a .ini I exposed the telnet commands and line ends IP address and the login script in a xml file.
I know this did not directly answer your question! but It should provide some food for thought.
If you can share your data structure- I can be more specific.

Advice on config file

Hi guys and gals. I currently use a config.ini file for all my database set up (URL, driver manager, etc). My application is made up of two JAR files, one for the server-side, one for the client. I have put my config file in with my JAR and call it like so:
InputStream is = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("com/dmsltd/rmi/config.ini");
As you can see I have put it into the rmi package of my application. Is this a sensible place? I am starting to think not. Would it make more sense to have the config.ini file outside my JAR file? The reason I ask is what if the network administartor at a site decides to change the IP address of a machine, or decides to use a different port number for RMI calls...this would require changing the config file + re-archiving. If the config file was called from outside the JAR, all that would need to be changed would be the config file.
If anyone can steer me in the best direction, I would be ever so grateful.

I suspect I wouldn't be able to use the ClassLoader to access a file from outside the JAR file. Not so, the technique you used there should find the file anywhere in your classpath. So it doesn't have to be in a JAR file, it could be in a directory in your classpath.

Makepkg, upgrade and config-files

Hello,
At the moment I work on a package for the programm "vdr". Without any start-parameters (in this case: -c /etc/vdr) vdr save and load its config files in the folder /mnt/vdr-recordings.
In the future i would like to use the start-parameter (-c /etc/vdr). With this parameter vdr loads its config files from /etc/vdr.
vdr creates some default config files during the make process. Afterwards I copy the files from /mnt/vdr-recordings to /etc/vdr.
This work fine
Now my problem: ;-)
If I want to update vdr with a new version (pacman -U vdr-1.3.35-2.tar.gz), pacman overwrite all config files in /etc/vdr, although I changed the config files after installing vdr the first time.
According to the pacman manual pages, pacman should decide not to overwrite the file, if I have changed the installed ones (in /etc/vdr)
And finally the question ;-)
Is there any way to declare the config files in /etc/vdr as "true config files" and handle it, like pacman should do it?

You need to use the backup field.
List the config files you don't want pacman to overwrite:
backup=(etc/vdr/configfile1 etc/vdr/configfile2)
And do not put the leading / because it won't work.

[SOLVED] All input devices off through synaptics config file

Hello guys,
It seems that while I was experimenting with synaptics configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf) I turned all input devices off, and as you may assume I can't change this.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
I was trying to use an live CD and change the config files but I realized that are read-only files.
Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you for your answer WonderWoofy,
I tried to switch to a tty but it is not possible, it seems to me that the keyboard is not even active as well as the touchpad or connected usb mouse's.
Is there a way to start Arch directly without X, maybe modifying something at the GRUB sequence or during loading of the services an so son?
How can I do it?
Thank you.

Changing the Crystal Report dependency from 10.2 to 11.5 using config file

Hi,
We have an windows application in .net 2.0, which refers to Crystal Report 10.2 version. Now the dependency was being upgraded to 11.5. But we do not have the exact source code for the executable to change the dependency from 10.2 to 11.5.
I have installed the CR 11.5 to the testing machine and tried to open the appilcation. it failed saying CR 10.2 dlls were missing
Then I changed the .net config files to change the dependency assembly as follows
<runtime>
     <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
         <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.Shared" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
      </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
Now the application launched with out any issues. I thought the problem was sorted out.
But when I tried to generate the report, there comes the problem
During the report generation, I am getting the following error
Crystal Reports
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.
OK
I do not want to install the 10.2 redistributable in teh machine also do not want to re-compile the sources changing the dependency
Is there any way to achieve this ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Edited by: Balaji Narasimhan on Aug 3, 2009 5:28 PM

No way that I know of. I believe once you change the dependency, you will have to recompile the project. Installing CR 10.2, may get this to work, but the app will most likely use the 10.2 references. Let's see if anyone else has any ideas.

Change config file properties programatically

hi, all i have created one config file and from that file i am readindg data. Now when i click on this file it shows that this file is in read only format. Now in this same config file i want to write the data but when i try to write data by using write key function it gives me some error just like please check the permission of the file.
For this config file i canot change its permission to archive permenantly. So Is there any way to change the file permission programatically from read only archieve and again from archieve to read only.

You can change the file permissions programmatically using LabVIEW. This allows you to temporarily change the permission and modify the file before restoring the permissions to their original settings.
The Set Permission is found within the Advanced File Functions of the File I/O section of the Functions Palette.
The information below is from the Context Help.

I am receiving event ID 5189 on Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5. I experience this error across a number of servers, each of which is running only the default web site, but have 600+ applications running on the default web site. Each application

I have seen a number of posts on this error message, but my issue itself seems to differ somewhat. I am aware of a similar post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3128ee93-1319-4cc2-9257-003512caf476/event-id-5189-microsoftwindowswas?forum=exchangesvrgeneral

However, in my case, it doesn't seem that the extreme measures for this resolution are required. The error usually indicates a corrupted applicationhost.config that must be manually fixed, or otherwise the WAS service needs to be restarted, or the
server itself, etc.
In my case, the issue can usually be fixed by an application pool recycle, or at worst a stop/start. I have an application which is sensitive to recycles, and so we do not have periodic recycle events configured for this application, which is the bulk
of the applications on the servers. It seems to me that this issue is usually caused by the application being in use when there is an applicationhost.config change.
For instance, we have one application that we deploy using msdeploy. We found that when we ran an installation for this application via msdeploy, we were receiving this event, and we would subsequently get 500 errors in the application (sometimes the
application pool corresponds to that which is identified in the event log, sometimes it doesn't).    It seems like applications that were being hit at the time the applicationhost.config was modified by msdeploy were affected. In an attempt
to correct this, we moved from msdeploy to a batch file containing appcmd commands. This also did not resolve the issue.
I have another application which is installed using PowerShell commandlets. We started to notice that this script also caused the issue to occur on occasion. As I continued to identify different processes that resulted in the same issue, I came
to the conclusion that this is likely due to any change in the applicationhost.config. I assume the issue is that the applicationhost.config is modified during a read operation to the file by the application pool, or WAS service, and that the recycle
event, which corrects the issue, forces a re-read of the applicationhost.config, resolving the bad-read issue.
Has anyone else experienced this, or do you have any recommendations? My current work-around is to not install any applications during peak hours, and performing an IISRESET after installs are completed, to ensure application stability.

As an update to this issue, after doing some research, it appears the behavior is related to a new feature in IIS7 called Application Pool Isolation (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163536.aspx).
This new feature prevents cross-application spillage by isolating the configuration for each application pool in IIS. So in reality, an application pool never actually reads the applicationhost.config - that is just a master file, and each time it
is update, it triggers a change to the individual application pool configuration files, located in C:\inetpub\temp\apppools.
We did try setting Advanced Settings > Disable Recycling for Configuration Change to true, but after an IIS reset we were still able to reproduce the issue - worse actually, because in our test program, which continually hits the web
service, and also continually makes apphost.config changes, when the two events collide, the 500.19 issue precipitates; but after an additional change to the apphost.config, it seems that the additional changes will actually correct the issue (seemingly forcing
another recycle, which is also how we resolve the issue manually); after making this setting adjustment, once the 500.19 issue precipitates, additional changes to the apphost.config does not correct the problem, only a manual recycle corrects it. This
is the recycling.disallowRotationOnConfigChange property of the app pool. We also set the setting for recycling.disallowOverlappingRotation to True as well, with the same result.
We ARE able to prevent this issue by setting the C:\inetpub\temp\apppools\myapppool\myapppool.config to read-only, but for obvious reasons, this is not a desired work-around.
It seems like what is happening is that any change to the ApplicationHost.config is resulting in each of the C:\inetpub\temp\apppools temp application pool config files being updated as well, in addition to triggering an application pool recycle. It
seems to me the desired behavior would be that these files are only updated if the applicationhost.config changes are specific to that application pool - but that doesn't seem to be the behavior.
After turning on failed request tracing, I was able to narrow the error down more:

This seems to be pretty static. Trying to look into possible causes of this issue.
