Why use a server

Why would I need server?

I apologise.  I pasted the wrong URL and now it's too late to edit that post.  The URL I meant to paste was
https://www.apple.com/uk/osx/server/features/
It's a list of the server features.  Without Server you can still do File Sharing and Web Serving on a small scale easily, but the other things would all require a lot of technical knowledge.
Huh.  They don't mention web serving on that page for some reason.

  • Why use app server and EJB?

    we have a project about Component-based Library for Business Information Systems.
    We have chosen Point-Of-Sales System as the type of our system.
    why do we need to use app server and EJB?
    Hope can have replies soon. Thanks so much!

    Well, you don't need to. You might want to because transaction management is important for point-of-sales and app server/EJB gives you that for 'almost nothing'.

  • Why do we use exchange server ?

    Hi All,
    I know it is very silly question here, but I am completely unaware about exchange server. 
    I have gone through many articles but it did not clear me the exact concept. Please let me know exactly Why do we use exchange server ? and why it is mostly used with share point email configuration for domain specific mails ?
    Any help is appreciable.
    Thanks,
    C Mahone

    Hi there,
    Exchange server is your email server.  It is very important in your domain and business servers.  I can't say why it is used with SharePoint, I thought those are different servers, but you do want an Exchange server in your domain.
    If you use something else, like Office 365, then you don' t need an Exchange server, but if not, yes,it is important, cause email is a vital business aspect.

  • Why to use SQL Server's native backup facilities, not other backup solution?

    I've been asked in my company: why to use SQL Server’s native backup facilities? Instead, they currently rely on other backup software, like Backup Exec, BrightStor, or even Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager. Those solutions let the
    company manage all of its backups—including SQL Server—in a single place, whereas SQL Server’s native backup abilities only apply to SQL Server.
    So what does SQL Server native backup facility give us more to be forced to use it?

    Satish and Pawan ... thanks but, a backup solution is just there. they don't need to pay anything. even though, having a backup solution that backup everything on the server, like files, software.. etc is needed regardless if you have SQL Server databases
    or not, and if it does database backup it would be even better and more complete as a backup solution. So sorry your answer is not an enough reason that will force me to leave that complete backup solution and use the SQL Server backup tools specifically to
    backup databases.  
    Olaf ... thanks as well. But I was just counting a number of solutions that i think they are related to backup things. yet I believe that Symantec backup exec does backup for SQL Server database, ain't?! what I understood from the link that you gave me,
    that some backup applications (if not all) use SQL Server backup facilities to do database backup, is what I understood correct? if yes then the question will be, is there any situation or reasons that force me to use SQL Server backup tools even if I have
    those backup solution (that some of them in the backgroud they are using SQL Server backup facilities)? does SQL Server backup tool give me more capabilities in backing up databases than what I find in backup solutions?
    The answer is NO, as of now you get all these features in 3rd party native backups...
    So in nutshell Microsoft never forces you to use SQL Servers Native backup -----The only reason why you get native backup featues is since SQL Server is an Enterprise Solution MS provide you all features in-built within the bundle so that you don't have
    to purchase any other license (incase you\your company doesn't have one already)

  • Why do I get error 1031 when using vi server to call an exported vi?

    I'm trying to call a vi that is inside an exe using vi server.
    For some reason I keep getting error 1031 "VI Reference type does not match VI connector pane" from the open vi reference primitive.
    However:
    If I statically link to the vi using the same type specifier, it works just fine.
    I've attach 2 code capture screen shots.  One shows the original code that generates the 1031 error.  The other shows calling it directly locally and that code executes with no problem.
    Oh and also, if I don't connect the type input I can open a reference to the remote vi and interact with it.
    I've also attached a code capture screen shot as well.
    So it appears that the vi server connection to the exe is not transferring the VI reference type correctly??  Has anyone had any experience with this?
    I have no idea why this is happening.  Anyone have any thoughts? 
    I'm using LV2009SP1 by the way.

    When you are trying to call into an executable, LabVIEW will not necessarily know what type it is. You are getting this error because you cannot use a strict type definition in certain cases, this being one of them. Some cases will require you to use a strict type definition due to their architecture but again, due to the structure of your applications, you can't use the strict type definition. Your other two examples use the correct passive types and therefore do not get the error. Hope this answers your questions!

  • How can I create a Pooled VDI infraestructure using Win server 2012 as VM image?

    Hello
    I have followed the "usual" way to build a pooled VDI desktop using Win7 or Win8 with success, but it fails when I use an image of Win Server 2012 as VM instead. 
    Am I overlooking something?  Should I need to prepare the image in a different way? (Sysprep differently?)
    Thanks

    Dear Ryan
    I think the point is other than committing a breach of licensing.  I have a legitimate need to use a pooled server system, which incidentally is not going to be end user.
    The "economy" of the proposed structure can make a more efficient use of the equipment.
    This is an excerpt of the MS VDI Q&A:
    Do I need to pay for Windows VDA if I use Windows Server as a client operating system in my virtual machine?
    OR
    I’ve heard that I can avoid paying for Windows VDA by using Windows Server as my VDI desktop OS. Is this true?
    Running a Windows Server®
    OS as the desktop in the datacenter does not require Windows VDA, but there are many reasons why a server OS should not be used as a desktop, especially in the datacenter:
    The user experience with servers as the desktop is very different from using a Windows client.
    Many applications for end users were written for a client OS and not a server OS. Each of your applications would need to be retested to ensure compatibility with a server OS. Additionally, most vendors
    do not offer support for client applications running on servers.
    Clients and servers are on different patch cycles, adding to management complexity.
    Most of the VDI ecosystem will support the Windows client in the datacenter, not server OS’s.
    However, if you do decide to run a server OS as the desktop, please note that you will need to pay a Remote Desktop Services Client Access License (RDS-CAL) to correctly license that scenario.

  • Out of memory using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3

    Hi,
    I just installed both Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3. The server I am using has 4 gigabytes of memory installed, and windows shows that to be the actual physical memory on the server. The paging file is 8 gigabytes for a total of 12 gigabytes of virtual memory.
    Using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I create a new database using default values. After verifying the installation worked OK (database started, queries ran), I attempted to change some of the memory parameters and was able to start the database using about 1.4 gigabytes of total SGA, with the O/S using about .3 gigabytes for a total of 1.7 gigabytes. I then attempted to change the buffer cache + 1 gigabyte for a total of 2 gigabytes. Now the database will not start and I get an out of memory error ora-27102 with an additional O/S memory error of "O/S Error: (OS 8) Not enough storage is available to process this command".
    So, I have two problems:
    1) With 4 gigabytes installed, and the O/S using only about 300 megabytes, why isn't Oracle able to take advantage of the memory on this machine past the 1.7 gigabytes (as reported by Windows task manager).
    2) How do I change the spfile memory parameters so the database will start using spfile? I can start the database pointing to a pfile with lesser memory parameters, but I don't know how to effect change on the spfile, since I cannot start with the spfile.
    Both these technologies (9.2.0.3 and Server 2003) are new to me, so any insight would be appreciated!
    HERE ARE THE SPFILE PARAMETERS THAT WORKED:
    SGA (M)
    Shared Pool=104

    Java Pool=64

    CREATE SPFILE
    Purpose
    Use the CREATE SPFILE statement to create a server parameter file from a client-side initialization parameter file. Server parameter files are binary files that exist only on the server and are called from client locations to start up the database.
    Server parameter files let you make persistent changes to individual parameters. When you use a server parameter file, you can specify in an ALTER SYSTEM SET parameter statement that the new parameter value should be persistent. This means that the new value applies not only in the current instance, but also to any instances that are started up subsequently. Traditional client-side parameter files do not let you make persistent changes to parameter values. Because they are located on the server, these files allow for automatic database tuning by Oracle and for backup by Recovery Manager (RMAN).
    To use a server parameter file when starting up the database, you must create it from a traditional text initialization parameter file using the CREATE SPFILE statement.
    All instances in an Real Application Clusters environment must use the same server parameter file. However, when otherwise permitted, individual instances can have different settings of the same parameter within this one file. Instance-specific parameter definitions are specified as SID.parameter = value, where SID is the instance identifier.
    The method of starting up the database with a server parameter file depends on whether you create a default or nondefault server parameter file. Please refer to "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for examples of how to use server parameter files.
    See Also:
    CREATE PFILE for information on creating a regular text parameter file from a binary server parameter file
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for information on pre-Oracle9i initialization parameter files and Oracle9i server parameter files
    Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Administration for information on using server parameter files in a Real Application Clusters environment
    Prerequisites
    You must have the SYSDBA or the SYSOPER system privilege to execute this statement. You can execute this statement before or after instance startup. However, if you have already started an instance using spfile_name, you cannot specify the same spfile_name in this statement.
    Syntax
    create_spfile::=
    Text description of create_spfile
    Semantics
    spfile_name
    This clause lets you specify a name for the server parameter file you are creating.
    If you do not specify spfile_name, Oracle uses the platform-specific default server parameter filename. If spfile_name already exists on the server, this statement will overwrite it. When using a default server parameter file, you start up the database without referring to the file by name.
    If you do specify spfile_name, you are creating a nondefault server parameter file. In this case, to start up the database, you must first create a single-line traditional parameter file that points to the server parameter file, and then name the single-line file in your STARTUP command.
    See Also:
    "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for information on starting up the database with default and nondefault server parameter files
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for Windows (or other appropriate operating system specific documentation) for default parameter file names
    pfile_name
    Specify the traditional initialization parameter file from which you want to create a server parameter file.
    If you specify pfile_name, the parameter file must reside on the server. If it does not reside in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system, you must specify the full path.
    If you do not specify pfile_name, Oracle looks in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system for the default parameter filename, and uses that file. If that file does not exist in the expected directory, Oracle returns an error.
    Note:
    In a Real Application Clusters environment, you must first combine all instance parameter files into one file before specifying it in this statement to create a server parameter file. For information on accomplishing this step, see Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Setup and Configuration.
    Examples
    Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples
    The following example creates a default server parameter file from a client initialization parameter file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    Note:
    Typically you will need to specify the full path and filename for parameter files on your operating system. Please refer to your Oracle operating system documentation for path information.
    When you create a default server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database using that server parameter file by using the SQL*Plus command STARTUP without the PFILE parameter, as follows:
    STARTUP
    The following example creates a nondefault server parameter file s_params.ora from a client initialization file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE = 's_params.ora'
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    When you create a nondefault server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database by first creating a traditional parameter file containing the following single line:
    spfile = 's_params.ora'
    The name of this parameter file must comply with the naming conventions of your operating system. You then use the single-line parameter file in the STARTUP command. The following example shows how to start up the database, assuming that the single-line parameter file is named new_param.ora:
    STARTUP PFILE=new_param.ora

  • Enterprise Search using Sharepoint Server 2007 + SAP R/3

    Hi experts,
    I want to achieve an enterprise search using SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS).
    SharePoint includes the BDC (business data catalog) which allows you to communicate with the SAP System.
    I read in the Microsoft whitepapers that thereu2019s a need for a web application server 6.40.
    So here is the problem:
    We have SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 with WAS 6.20. We donu2019t want to change or upgrade the SAP system.
    There are ways to connect the WAS to the R/3 system e.g. RFC.
    But does this still work for search in SharePoint?
    Did anybody already deal with this problem?
    Any other ideas connecting SharePoint to SAP in this scenario?
    Best regards
    Philipp Detemple

    > and having requirement to upgrade OS version from B.11 to B.23. Currently server is hosting SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
    So you upgrade HP-UX 11.11 to HP-UX 11.23?
    > I have tried to serach SAP service market place for PAM, but could not find specific information on version upgrade from B.11 to B.23
    Yes - because there is no HP-UX 23.x, only 11.23 and 11.31. For the version overview check
    Note 939891 - HP-UX: End of Support Dates
    Note 1075118 - SAP on HP-UX: FAQ
    > My Questioin is: If we copy system as it is to new host and if we keep the same Kernel Patch 196, will it work fine or give issue?
    It will work.
    > So even if I got for latest patch 304 which is released on 16.11.2009, still the OS version for which it built is B.11, so if we have B.23, will it work? I would not see the possibilities of kernel upgrade at this stage.
    Why no possibility for a kernel upgrade if you install a new server?
    > so with same kernel will it work? What else I need to check for the migration and make sure that everything works fine on new server.

  • When Starting OC4J, why the report server doesn't start automatically? !!

    Dear All,
    I have DS 10g on my system and I start the OC4J when I have to run either forms or reports.
    But when I attend to start the do the following command from the form:
    WEB.SHOWDOCUMENT(..../getjobid<jobid>?server=<servername>...), I have an error: FRM-41213: Unable to connect to the report server <servername>.
    I noticed that if I run the following URL:http://<server>:.../reports/rwservlet, it gives me a list of command, but the server still not running..But if I add any command to the above URL like for example "getserverinfo" or "showjobs" then the server is started. Now, and after the command, if we return back and we run the report from the form, the report will run successfully.

  • Use Mail Server as "In-Between" mail server/router

    To start with, I am still a fairly inexperienced user as far as Mac OS X Server is concerned. That's why I have a simple, maybe even stupid question, compared to all the professional ones here.
    I'd like to use Mail Server for incoming and outgoing emails to be saved on our (Mac OS X 10.6) server and to have a copy sent to our ISP (or vice versa). Is this at all possible with Mail Server?? If yes, how?

    First of all, there is NO SUCH thing as a stupid question. We all started at the beginning at one point. (sometimes I feel like I am still there)
    If I understand your question correctly, yes, it is easy to do.
    In Server Admin, click on Mail in the services pane on the left hand side.
    Then click on Settings, General
    and then tick the box that says, Copy all Mail to:
    Input the ISP mail address you want a copy of all your mail to go to in the box.
    Your mail will go to only one server at a time, however, based on the priority you set in DNS MX records. So it's either you host it, or your ISP hosts it. Not both (well, you can make one the back up for the other in case the primary can't be reached).
    If I didn't understand your request, please explain and I will try to help.

  • Why use go:title etc...

    I've just seen this in the meta data of a website:
    <meta property="og:title" content="foobar...
    There's loads of them… go:description… go:audio… go:keywords… and so on
    Apparently it's to do with open graph and Facebook which I don't fully understand, but why use it and what are the advantages? I've googled it, but I'm finding little ore than what I already mentioned. Just wondering if anybody here knew a little more detail than the info I've found.
    Thanks.
    Mat

    From this page - Facebook Content Sharing Best Practices
    I read:
    Use proper Open Graph tags
    Open Graph tags are included in your page’s HTML and allow the Facebook Crawler to generate previews when your content is shared on Facebook.
    We give examples below, but the basic Open Graph tags you should implement are:
    og:title – The title of your article, excluding any branding.
    og:site_name - The name of your website. Not the URL, but the name. (i.e. "IMDb" not "imdb.com".)
    og:url – This URL serves as the unique identifier for your post. It should match your canonical URL used for SEO, and it should not include any session variables, user identifying parameters, or counters. If you use this improperly, likes and shares will not be aggregated for this URL and will be spread across all of the variations of the URL. 
    og:description – A detailed description of the piece of content, usually between 2 and 4 sentences. This tag is technically optional, but can improve the rate at which links are read and shared.
    etc.

    Do you use header caching? It can accelerate remote imap access, but is disabled by default. Also playing with imap_idle (yes, if server supports), imap_keepalive (low) and timeout (high) may produce nice results.
    i've tried everything (always caching, and setting various imap_* options).  trust me.  it's funny, it wasn't bad at first, then one day i'd hit j/k and 3 seconds later the indicator would move... that's when i set up offlineimap.

  • Connect Non-SAP Oracle db (32bit) in sql 2005 (64 bit) using linked server

    Hi,
    I am connecting Oracle 10g database from SQL 2005 using linked server, in which i get the error
    "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE".
    OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE" returned message "Oracle client and networking components

    SAP Server with sql 2005 db is in 64 bit server / Windows 2003
    Non-SAP Oracle 10g is in 32 bit windows 2003 server.
    i have installed Oracle 64 bit client in the SAP Server and also copied the 64 bit version of dboraslib.dll to the DIR_LIBRARY path. I am able to view the oracle tables in the oracle client.
    But, when i create the linked server, it gives the above error.
    If i install 32 bit version of Oracle client in the SAP Server, i am able to create the linked server in the db level, but, it says "Work Process restarted, session terminated" message in the Z program in SAP.
    The same works in the test environment where both are 32 bit servers. problem is when SAP server is in 64 bit and non sap is in 32 bit.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks and Regards,

    check the workprocess traces for errors (and/or SM21). It seems that the system is "not aware" that an Oracle client is installed.
    64bit programs can´t load 32bit libraries/DLLs that´s why the workprocess dumps when you use the 32bit client.

  • Using Vi server in real time application

    HI
    I am  using PXIe( 4330, 6363 and 4353) devices and I want to have executable file for the calibration program  ( AI,AO verification procedure and so on). So I think is necessary to have 2 programs for each 'verification procedure', one under host (executable file) and one under target (real time application).  in host program (exe file) I used VI server to call Real time application. There are some problems that I am phasing.
    First I can’t select the channels which the reason is abvious because my host program is under my computer not under target, but I do not know what is the solution?
     and second is, error number 7 occurred. which says : the path file is not correct , or the file is removed... 
    As I mentioned my goal is to have an executable file which contains Real Time application. Please specify If there are other ways to do that. I do not know wether the way I am doing is correct or is somethig impossible ?!!!!!!!

    Hi 
    there is no specific reason why I call vi dynamically, as I said I try to generate executable file which contains real time application, but before that I need to run host vi too see if it works or not. I did what you advised and I have same error still. I think there must be something wrong with path address and vi server, but I address .rtexe file or target vi to my host and for both I have error. 
    I have attached the projects here.and I have followed this example :
