WCS WLC Config Files

I am finding it difficult to locate the backup config files for my controllers on the WCS server. Can someone tell me the file extension and the file folder where these files are saved so I can verify they are getting saved? This seems to be more complicated to find than it needs to be.

When WCS was installed it asked you for a folder name where to store these files. Go to Admin--Settings--Server Settings and you will see the drive and folder name. Look in these .. Should be under TFTP folder

Can't find WCS/WLC log files

i'm using a WCS to manage two 4404 controllers, i tried to sync the two controllers with the WCS. the first one worked fine the second failed with the message to view the logs. but i can't find any mention of a failure on eiter the WCS or the controller.
any ideas where i can find the detail of the error message so that i can look at sorting the failure out.
Many thanks,
Adam

TFTP 'configuration update' from 5508 WLC fails stating reason as '%Error: Config file transfer failed – Unknown error –refer to log'

Dear Experts,
I have two WLCs and other management devices as part of same subnet. I am able to upload ‘configs’ from all the devices on to my TFTP server. However when I am attempting to do the same from one of my WLC, it is failing consistently stating error message as:
‘%Error: Config file transfer failed – Unknown error –refer to log
Has anyone else too faced the same issue and how would we overcome this? Any specific debug that could help get more details on it?
Though the error message says, refer to log but still I don’t see anything that gets reflected in ‘Monitor logs’ which is related to ‘configuration file’ upload failure.
WLC code: 7.4.100.0
PFA as the error snippet.
Thanks and Regards,
Adnan

Hi Kaneswaran,
Just a soft reboot helped me solved the problem :). Still I am on 7.4 and facing no issues after this.
Apologies for coming too late to respond. Getting a down time window was not that easy and so was much delayed to try soft reload. I am still on 7.4 and facing no issue.
Glad that in your case it starting working all of a sudden. Could you please verify from 'show tech-support' to confirm if by chance your WLC had undergone any crash that could have caused the WLC to reload and thus accidently fixing the issue :)
Best Regards,
Muhammed Adnan

Loading config file does not remove prior configuration?

After factory defaulting the Cisco 2504 WLC, I go to through the wizard for initial config then log into the web interface and download my 'full' config file to the controller. After the reboot I upload the config file to my PC and compare it to the original file, but it does not match.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Follow these guidelines when working with configuration files:
Any CLI with an invalid value is filtered out and set to default by the XML validation engine. Validation occurs during bootup. A configuration may be rejected if the validation fails. A configuration may fail if you have an invalid CLI. For example, if you have a CLI where you try to configure a WLAN without adding appropriate commands to add the WLAN.
A configuration may be rejected if the dependencies are not addressed. For example, if you try to configure dependent parameters without using the add command. The XML validation may succeed but the configuration download infrastructure will immediately reject the configuration with no validation errors.
An invalid configuration can be verified by using the show invalid-config command. The show invalid-config command reports the configuration that is rejected by the controller either as part of download process or by XML validation infrastructure.

Backing up a WLC config

I have several WLC's in our enviornment and one WCS managing them. I use Orion to monitor and backup the configs to all our devices, which stores all them all in a organized database in txt format, this way I can simply cut and paste the config back into a device when needed, however I have tried to backup our WLC in the same manner and have been unsuccesful in every attempt.
Does anyone know of a way to backup all WLC configs in txt format using Orion?

Text backups generally don't work with WLC's in my experience. I back up my controllers via WCS. The difference is that Orion is probably doing something like a "show run", which doesn't give you everything you need to restore a controller to a previous state. WCS makes the same kind of XML backups that would be created if you used the web management interface on the controller to create a backup. The XML backups are pretty much one stop shopping for everything you need to get a controller back up and running (although you should always test your backup process).

Comment a CLI config file

Hi,
Could someone confirm if there is an equivalency of the router's exclamation mark on WLC CLI to put comments on a config file?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Marc

There is not an option to put comments on the configu file of the WLC's.
Thanks,

"Unable to open config file" Error when starting tomcat

hi all,
Here is the output from two of the log files when I start tomcat4 on my linux box. I have configured the mod_jk on the tomcat side.
From the output of the second log file, it seems that the ajp13 worker I defined was started successfully. What I don't understand is the following:
1) In catalina.out, where des the line 'Unable to open config file' come from? Which config file?
2) Tomcat4 is supposed to generate a mod_jk.conf automatically, but I don't see any file generated in 'conf/auto/'.
Content of 'catalina.out'

I have all those files too.
I think the 'config file' mentioned in the error log is the mod_jk.conf.
On Jason Hunter's tomcat4 guide, it says don't use the tomcat4 RPM to installed. What is the difference bettween the RPM version and the tar.gz version? The only difference I can think of is that in the RPM version, the conf directory is in the 'etc/tomcat4/conf'. Could it be the reason that tomcat4 cannot read the config file? But it has no problem reading the server.xml though.

Jabber for windows 9.2.1 - InitialPhoneSelection doesn't work if configuration is in custom config file

Hi,
my customer wanted set InitialPhoneSelection to deskphone mode, when users firs run Jabber for Windows (ver. 9.2.1).
I created custom config (configurationfile=jabber-config-deskphone.xml) but it doesn't work.
Policies>
<InitialPhoneSelection>deskphone</InitialPhoneSelection>
</Policies>
I tested it couple times and at the end I tried put configuration to default jabber-config.xml and ... this functionality start working...
Could you check guys if you have same problem with custom config file? I think that it is bug. Maybe other option don't work in custom config file.
Thanks a lot
Pavel

Hi Pavel,
This setting is only when the client is installed and started by the user for the first time. After that the client will save the user preference (what was the phone selection when the user exited the client) and use it in subsequent logins.
Having said that, can you please specify in details how exactly you did your tests or maybe test again taking the above into consideration ?
Thanks,
Christos

SQL Agent Job failing - not using credentials in the config file for Data source

Hi
We have an SSIS pkg, that is secheduled as SQL Agent job using proxy account. The pkg contanins data source for connecting different SQL servers and the proxy account do not have access to the external DBs. The data source credentials are stored in the Config
file.
Why the job is not using the credentials in the config file and try to use the proxy account and failing.
Do the proxy account need access to all the external dbs in the pkg, and then what is the purpose of the config file.
I am sorry, i am not SSIS person trying to understand. If any one can explain tha will be great!!
Thank you!

HttpBinding not working when HttpHandler tag is present in web.config file

Hi,
I tried to add a WCF service in WCF Test Client using HttpBinding. But I couldn't add the service. I got the below error.
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost/Services/PostOffice.svc/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.
The request failed with an empty response.
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost/Services/PostOffice.svc'.
The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
I removed the below code in the Web.Config, later I was able to add the WCF service to the WCF test client.
<httpHandlers>
<add type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpHandler, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" path="Telerik.ReportViewer.axd" verb="*" validate="true" />
</httpHandlers>
I'm not sure with the above code. Could you please let me what is the reason behind it and what is the use of above code and if I remove it how does it affect my application.
Thanks in advance.
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep Pinniti,
Please try to add the following config in your config file:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
The validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" will allow us to keep our httpHandlers section populated without throwing an error. And I have tested in my side,
it works fine.

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.

Please help me out in creating an object from it.
Thanks,
Hiranmayee

It's one of those things you usually start from the other end.
IE with a class and then serialise / deserialize to xml.
Because you have a namespace in there:
<settings version="1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.counterpath.com/cps">
I think you will find linq to xml will have issues with that.
You could still use xpath to pick data out of there and there's been a thread on the c# forum recently which is relevent:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/2dc0581e-f2fd-4fd3-89ee-e59280c398e6/read-xml?forum=csharpgeneral
Why do you want to turn that into an object?
By the way.
This isn't a wpf question and you should probably have posted it on the c# forum.
Hope that helps.

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ?

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ? Please help me as its urgent.THanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jay,
SSIS can only recognize the absolute path of a XML Configuration file, the relative path is not supported. Furthermore, if the XML Configuration file is already generated, we can use the Environment variable package configuration type instead so that
SSIS runtime automatically looks for the configuration file from the path defined in the environment variable. This is convenient when we need to deploy a package to different environment. We only need to define the environment variable for package configurations
once on each server, and then the variable can be used by all the packages on this server.

How to add shortcuts to user Start Menu and Taskbar or Desktop with using Microsoft Office 2013 Config file.

Hello,
How can i add the shortcuts for Office 2013 feature (Word, excel, ext) to the users taskbar or desktop with using config.xml file while installing the Microsoft Office 2013 from SCCM?
I know how to do that with OCT, but i have another problem if i use OCT. So i have to do it with Config.file, but i don't know which code can i write on config.xml file to create shortcut on desktop or taskbar...
Regards,

Hi
There is a known issue about
changing the shortcut location for an Office 2013 application:
When you try to change the shortcut locations for Office 2013 applications in the Office Customization Tool (OCT), you receive the following error message:
Invalid start in folder. Please try again.
Then, you add the Start in location for Office 2013 and run a customized installation. When you double-click the shortcuts that are displayed on the desktop, Configure shortcuts does
not work and you receive the following error message:
Sorry, we couldn’t find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?
To work around this issue, type a single open bracket ([) in the Start in
field.
In addition, refer to the link below on "Configure shortcuts" in OCT:
