VPN stops working unless stop and start service

Hello all - Im am a novice at servers & triyign hard to learn them. I have a mac mini 2010 with most up to date software and up to date OSX Lion Server running. The VPN worked great when i set it up in the begninning. But then I would notice it would stop, I would go check and all settings were the same as before, no different settings just like when it worked , but it just would not work at all unless I stopped the service and started it again. Then it worked fine, but only for a few days. Now it will not work for more than a day tops. Im not sure what to do. I need the VPN so I can use it when i am out and about on my work laptop to have secure internet VPN connection. Please let me know any thoughts or ideas.

I would suggest having your magsafe adapter checked out by a genius my Mid 07 macbook's magsafe had thoes symptoms and it ended up being due to one of the pins springs had gotten warn and it wasnt making proper contact. It never caused damage to my macbook but i had to shell out $50 for a replacement adapter.
or if you have a friend or family member with a compatable magsafe adapter give it a try see if you have the same symptoms or if it goes away

Stop and Start Services

Hi All,
We are stopping and starting the services for daily backup. Is it advisable to stop and start services.
Because client wants to stop the services before taking the backup anf start the services after backup.
In this scenario, what services do we need to stop for backup process.
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Saichand,
Thanks for the response.
Do u have any idea on the below:
Our scenario is the below:
We have a daily back of BI folders and Loading data from ERP to 10g database.
We logged in with remote desktop user A from ABC system to BI system and We created a batch file to start and stop all the BI the services and scheduled this batch file using windows schedule tasks. These batch files will stop the BI services and after 30 minutes another batch file will load data into the database, after 2 hours start services batch file will start the BI services.
When we open the BI Dashboards in the morning, all the dashboards and reports are working fine. But when I login to BI system, OC4J windows is not visible and dashboards are not coming and when we check the logs, LOGs says OC4J is running.
Please suggest us the solution.

Kumar

Automate OBIEE stop and start services.

Hi All,
We are using OBIEE10.1.3.4 version on windows envorinment.In Production instead of doing manual start and stop services we need to automate one batch file that batch file has to bounce all the OBIEE services.And we need one batch file for clear all the cache enties.
can u advice me how to make this batch files .
Thanks,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,
Create a file PurgeAllCache.sql and add the SAPurgeAllCache ODBC Function in it.
{call SAPurgeAllCache()};
And save this file in a directory (for instance OracleBI_Home\Cache).
Then from a command dos, call nqcmd with this statement :
OracleBI_Home\server\Bin\nqcmd.exe -d AnalyticsWeb -u Administrator -p Password
-s "OracleBI_Home\Cache\PurgeAllCache.sql" -o "OracleBI_Home\Cache\PurgeAllCache.log"
It will purge your all cache entries..

Task created to stop and start Health service not working.

We have multiple servers being grayed out so we created a task to stop and start the health service on SCOM 2007 R2. We have created two tasks one to stop and another task to start. The STOP task works but the START tasks keeps running but there is no result
as well as when i check in Services.msc it is still stopped. Below are the screen shots .
Task created to STOP the health service which is running.
Screen shot of service start task creation which is NOT working
The same was created for another service windows audio. Which worked for both stop and stop (Created separate tasks).
We also tried the recycle health service and chche which is also failing.
Can any one please help. The issue is on both SCOM 2007R2 and 2012 R2 both. Is there any other way to touch the health service.
We are facing the issue only with Healthservice.

Hi All,
Thank you for all your answers.
@ dktoa -
You are right we have to concentrate on the servers to determine why do they go grey (all in one site). But before we do that i felt i find a temporary solution. Then go deep investigation to solve the issue.
@Yan LI: As per the likn provided above you. I overrided the servers but still the health services were not starting or restarting. When i created a custom group and added the servers to that group in that site and then enabled the override on Restart
Health Service for a specific group and pointed towards that group then it worked.
Thanks All.

How may I automatically stop and start Mail services at a set time please

Hi folks. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to automatically stop and start Mail services (or any other services) at a set time please in Leopard Server? Is there a script someone has created which might help?
Cheers, David ( a realy newbie when it comes to administering OS X server)

launchd works through a series of XML documents that define tasks to run, either at launch, on a time schedule, in response to network events, etc.
So you'll need to create two .plists - one to start the mail server and one to stop it. They should be saved in /Library/LaunchDaemons. I'd suggest something like:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>local.postfix.stop</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
    <string>stop</string>
    <string>mail</string>
  </array>
  <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
  <dict>
    <key>Hour</key>
    <integer>1</integer>
    <key>Minute</key>
    <integer>00</integer>
  </dict>
</dict>
</plist>
and /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.start.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple
.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>local.postfix.start</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>/usr/sbin/serveradmin</string>
    <string>start</string>
    <string>mail</string>
  </array>
  <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
  <dict>
    <key>Hour</key>
    <integer>4</integer>
    <key>Minute</key>
    <integer>00</integer>
  </dict>
</dict>
</plist>
You'll need to either use launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.postfix.stop (or start) to load the tasks, or reboot your server.
I'm curious, though, as to why you want to do this. Mail is typically one of the services that people want to run 24/7 so they don't miss out on any emails (even though SMTP can tolerate this). Why do you want to shut yours down?

Stop and Start Essbase 11.1.2.2 services

Hi All
How to stop and start essbase 1.1.2.2 services? Do I just stop and start OPMN service? Or got to start menu and Oracle EPM System and Essbase to stop and start? Will both work?
Thanks

Yes you can just stop and start the OPMN service, the start menu option will do pretty much the same thing, for more information have a read of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_1112200/ch12s02s08.html

This really looks like a problem, kindly let me know the following...
- The O/S version & the web server with the service pack
- What method are you using to start & stop the application & web

Music stopping and starting, huge gaps between songs

I listen to music via Match daily. Beginning last month I've been experiencing music stopping and starting, big gaps between tracks, and clunky behavior in general. It's comes and goes but over the last week it's been terrible. Is anyone experiencing this? I have tried re-initializing match on my iPhone but it doesn't seem to work.

Go to Edit > Preferences > Playback. Turn off crossfading if enabled...
iTunes will attempt to play tracks that were recorded gaplessly without adding an artifical gap, it won't attempt to remove the gaps between tracks that were there in the original recording, unless you've enabled crossfade. You can't make it add gaps to what should be gapless transitons on the album. If you really need this you could make a playlist and include blank mp3s as a separator.

Sound stops and starts with x-fi titanium pci e

I am going nuts with this problem and creative support is not much help atm, so I have been troubleshooting myself. Whats going on is my sound stops, starts, and stutters a lot. It is pretty bad when I play music files but it is absolutely horrible when I watch videos like on CNN or YOU TUBE. It is like a old vinyl record skipping, except when this gets off a stutter, it races to where it should be on the time line. Also my creative console does not work right. I cannot use the equalizer, as the custom, rock, pop music select is greyed out and the box is checked to use the equlaizer. It also disappears when I click on a few tabs, like between speakers, bass, equalizer..then its just gone and I have to click the shortcut again to get it back.
What I have done so far is un-install everything, and do a clean boot, then re-install and I have the same problems. Though I downloaded the creative console beta(2.6.49) and it seemed to have fixed my issues with that. But downloading the new drivers (2.7.8) does not fix the stopping and starting.
Any suggestions?
I should mention I use klipsitch speakers..2.1, I don't have surround sound anymore.
Customer service had me run a registry cleaner and use it to uninstall everything creative. I used CCleaner, then used direct links to download drivers...again...(2.7.8) and a creative console(2.6.35)..guess what? It didn't work, same problems, though I downloaded and re-installed the beta for the creative console(2.6.49) and now it works fine. I also did all this under a clean boot..again.

Check if "Play Stereo Mix using Digital Output" is checked in the Console launcher in Settings/Digital IO.

APEX 4.2 aligning issue of Stop and Start Grid Layout item

My APEX application application is in the process of moving from 4.0 to 4.2. I am experiencing an issue with aligning (left margin justified) of Stop and Start Grid Layout items that have a border around them. Earlier I had an issue with the border itself not showing up in the 4.2 application. I was able to resolve that with a workaround by adding inline code in the CSS section of the page: #P23_OFFICE_START_TBL {width:682; border:1px solid #369; margin:5px;}. This created the border which I needed, but there are 2 Stop and Start Grid Layout items that are indented and not aligning with the border of the previous line. I have tried a number of different things but none of them have worked. This seems like a very simple issue to fix but I am having a tough time resolving it.
I tried to put the item in question in a different grid, which corrected the indention but then I lost the border around the item. It seems that the above CSS code does not work on the new grid. I also tried to put attributes such as margin-left:5px; float: left; clear: left; float: left, in the CSS code but that did not work, too.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ajay K

I deleted and added back the Stop and Start Grid Layout items not aligning properly. This worked. Apparently, the 4.0 to 4.2 upgrade did not handle/convert these items properly. Deleting and adding them back resolved the issue.

Srvctl on 11.2.0.3 does not stop and start listeners

I recently installed the Grid software under the "grid" user on RH5. Clusterware and ASM run under GRID_HOME, the single instance database runs under ORACLE_HOME. I have created 2 listeners on non-default ports (manually using entried in listener.ora) and then added to srvctl (srvctl add listerner -l LISTENER_XPT -o /app/oracle/product/dhome_1 -p "TCP:1523" -- in ORACLE_HOME.
When stopping the listener using:

Why wouldnt the Oracle user not be able to start/stop a resource from ORACLE_HOME ? Any assistance would be helpful

I just removed the listener out of the ORACLE_HOME and added it using srvctl to the GRID_HOME. Now I am able to stop and start.
Still the question, why cant oracle user start an oracle_home managed resource. But the oracle user could start and stop using lsnrctl stop/start
Below if the results from ps (note I just started listener from GRID_HOME):

SSRS Report queries begin running slowly, have to stop and start report server to restore performance

We have had a production issue crop up twice now where reports begin running slowly seemingly at random.
When this happens we can see from running SQL Profiler that the report queries are taking an extremely long time to execute. The same queries when run directly in management studio run quickly.
Initially I suspected parameter sniffing, and tried using OPTION (RECOMPILE) in the reports, as well as clearing out the particular query from the plan cache and running the SQL in SSMS to try and get a better plan etc but no amount of jiggery pokery by
me could get the queries to run any faster.
The really weird thing - is that stopping and starting the report server via the reporting services configuration manager instantly cures the problem.
I'd really love to know - why this might be? Is it something to do with the report server closing and re-opening its connections to the database? That's the only sort of thing I can think of...any ideas? Anyone? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
LucasF

Hi LucasF,
In your scenario, usually we can monitor the execution log in Report Database. If you run below query, you can get the results how long the report takes to render (TimeRendering), how long to process the report(TimeProcessing) and how long to retrieve data
from Database(TimeData). You can check the starttime and endtime to know the total time for executing a report.
SELECT TOP1000 *FROM[ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2]
More details information, please reference to similar thread below:
Steps for troubleshooting a slow SSRS 2014 server
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
In SQL Server Reporting Services, a job will be created by SQL Server Agent if any of the following processes is underway:
query execution on a remote or local database server
report processing
report rendering
To cancel a job that is running on the report server, we can cancel the job directly or reduce the report execution time-out value in the SQL Server Management Studio and then will stop query execution. Please refer to the steps below:
Open SQL Server Management Studio, and connect to "Reporting Services".
Under the Report Server node, right-click on the "Jobs" folder and select "Refresh". Then, right-click on "Jobs" again and click "Cancel All Jobs".
Right-click on the Report Server node and open the "Server Properties" dialog.
Click the "Execution" option, and set the "Limit report execution to the following number of seconds:" to a much smaller number. After this issue is resolved, this configuration should revert to the previous state.
Reference:
Managing a Running Process
Setting Time-out Values for Report and Shared Dataset Processing
In addition, we can also use the KILL Transact-SQL statement to terminate a normal connection by terminating the transactions that are associated with the specified session ID. For the details information, you can refer to:
KILL (Transact-SQL)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
