ZFD2 - ZFD3.2 Upgrade - Same tree, different server...

I'm currently running ZFD2 on a Netware 4.11 server.
This particular server is also my master replica in a mixed tree with 5 5.1
servers. Now, I'm looking to designate one of the 5.1 servers as the
master and retire the trusty 4.11 server. The _only_ things I'm currently
doing with ZFD2 are simple application objects and User policies for
Windows 2000 machines (and XP, although it doesn't work right on those,
hence the need to upgrade :-). So, we're under an SLA and I could easily
install ZFD4 but I'd rather move only to ZFD3.2 and install the latest
support pack in order to avoid a major eDirectory overhaul. I have rather
limited time and not much room for error (that's news, eh?). I have the
ZFD3.2 media and I would like to install this on one of my 5.1 servers,
BUT.... what ramifications will this have on the old ZFD2? Will I need to
_remove_ either the old 4.11 server or the old Zen install prior to
installing ZFD3.2, or can I just go ahead and do it? Let the pieces fall
where they may?
I know I've folded a lot of questions into one post, but maybe some kind
soul can guide me in the direction. Thanks!

  • Can i upgrade exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 on same small business server 2008 machine?

    Hi,

    Now I need to upgrade exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 on same small business server 2008 standard edition.
    I already tried to upgrade but not successful.
    can i upgrade exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 on same small business server 2008 machine or any alternate through which it is possible.
    Please share any MS article if it not possible.

    Hi Arun,
    Its really great that you want to move and upgrade old Exchange to new Exchange server. The manual steps and guide is already recommended to you.
    Moreover, I would like to recommend you to use an automated tool to upgrade your Exchange server 2007 to exchange 2013.  I have tried and test tool to do Exchange Migration 2007 to 2013. You can follow the link 
    http://www.exchange2007to2013migration.exchangemigrationtool.com/. It will also help you to do Intra-Cross forest migration if you required.
    Hopefully my recommendation will surely help you.
    Thanks,

  • Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue.

    Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue. Help

    For anyone following this thread, I've found a solution to my problem. Turns out that a cute widget called FishTank appears to be the culprit. With it running in Dashboard (even when I don't see Dashboard) the Screensaver and Sleep functions don't work. I turned it off, not because I'm clever, just because I tired of it, and voilà, Screensaver and Sleep are now working. It can stay in my widgets list without any problem, it just can't be turned on. I'm going to delete it anyway, however.
    Hope this points the way to solutions for some of the rest of you!
    Cheers!

  • Deploying Javabeans on a different server such as JBoss

    Hi
    I have got a very simple bean, taken from sun site. The bean works fine when it is deployed on the j2ee server that comes with the jdk. But when i move the code over to a different server such as JBoss i get a null pointer exception on the page. On the server it states
    "Unable to lookup home: TheConverter ejb/TheConverter not found in defaultWebApp"
    Has someone had the same problem and also how did they fix it
    Thanks

    It will depend on how you're looking up the resource in your web app.
    For JBoss your web application will need a jboss-web.xml file in its WEB-INF directory. This file will indicate to the web container where it will find the named resource in the JNDI tree. You should check on the JBoss forums for a better example but I imagine it would something like this:
    <jboss-web>
      <context-root>/</context-root>
      <ejb-ref>
        <!-- The EJB will be available here in the local JNDI tree -->
        <ejb-ref-name>ejb/TheConverter</ejb-ref-name>
        <!-- Where the EJB is deployed in the global JNDI tree -->
        <jndi-name>ejb/TheConverter</jndi-name>
      </ejb-ref>
    </jboss-web>You'll also need a jboss.xml file in your EJB JAR (in the META-INF directory) that tells JBoss where to deploy the EJB. Again, not sure about this so check on the JBoss site.
    <jboss>
      <enterprise-beans>
        <session>
          <ejb-name>TheConverterEJB</ejb-name>
          <jndi-name>ejb/TheConverter</jndi-name>
          <configuration-name>Standard Stateless SessionBean</configuration-name>
        </session>
      </enterprise-beans>
    </jboss>You may need to change some of the names I've used to match your existing deployment descriptors.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error message upgrading Sun One Web Server

    We currently use Sun One Web Server SP 4. I have a RSA Cleartrust Agent to install that specifies SP 5. I downloaded SP 7. When I try to install it I receive the following message - "A previous release of the Web Server has been detected in the server root. Please select a different server root." I tried stoppping all the services, then installing, same result. The documentation says to run the install, it would detect the previous version and install. Do I have to uninstall the previous version? I do not want to do that. Thanks in advance.

  • Migrating SSO to a different server

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle SSO on Oracle HTTP server.
    AS requirement, we need to be moving to a different server with different IP, but out domain names will remain same.
    Do we need to re-request the SSO credentials again? Or simply performing the steps (cleartext, and apobfuscate) again on the new server with the old details will get this going?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, using dsmig is a supported method of migrating schema. However, dsmig requires local disk access to both the old instance and the new instace. Often times during migrations the new DS instance is on a new or different piece of hardware. In those cases to use dsmig you would have to either tar up the old instance, copy and un-tar it somewhere on the new system or, I suppose, you could set up a temporary NFS mount to the old system. I find either of these to be more work than is necessary. I almost always resort to a manual migration process as I know I am in control of everything being migrated. Sun does support the manual method as well and it is documented at:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2762/dsmanual?a=view
    The section specifically on manually migrating schema is at:

  • Trigger Between two DB located on different Server

    Hi Everyone,
    According to my project requirement I need your help to create a trigger on one table employee of my 10g DB located on server 172.128.1.62, which will trigger for any Delete, Update and Insert and update the same on its duplicate table located on different server(172.128.1.201).
    Eg:
    Table EMPLOYEE (on 172.128.1.62) refer as A
    SrNo        E_Name      Salary
    1             Fizzz           5000
    2             Albert        8000
    3             John          6500
    Table EMPLOYEE (on 172.128.1.201) refer as B
    SrNo        E_Name      Salary
    1             Fizzz           5000
    2             Albert        8000
    3             John          6500
    Now If I update table A and change salary of John from 6500 to 7000 and delete Employee Fizzz from table A
    Then I need a trigger to get fired and update the same in table B
    After table A updated table B should look like:
    Table EMPLOYEE (on 172.128.1.201) refer as B
    SrNo        E_Name      Salary
    1             Albert        8000
    2             John          7000
    I already scratch my head but did not find anything, Now this is became very critical requirement, Please somebody help me to achieve this task.
    Thank you very much,
    Fizzz. Edited by: Fizzz on Sep 22, 2011 4:36 PM

    I would not consider doing it myself with triggers. It will practically be guaranteed that at some point in time your data in B will by out of sync with A.
    There are several methods of doing replication. At least two technologies can be chosen from:
    [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10706/toc.htm]Advanced replication
    [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10705/toc.htm]Streams replication
    Both can be setup in various ways ranging from simple two-database one-way replication that refreshes periodically (for example a fast refreshable materialized view) to multi-database multi-way replication of complete schemas.
    We have had success with relatively simple materialized views for one-way replication of tables from one database to another. Read chapter 3 in the Advanced replication guide ;-)

  • Xml file not loading from different server

    Hi,
    I have a simple flash banner that is pulling a number from an xml file on a different server. When it gets to the frame where the number should be it just says "transferring data from eckul.com" and will not actually pull in the number. Unfortunately I can't put the files on the same servers. Any help would be much appreciated, below are the links and the xml code I'm using followed by the action script. Cheers
    http://www.sainters.net/newsletters/2010/flash_test_membership2.html
    http://www.eckul.com/number.xml
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <inventors>
        <person>
            <name>892</name>
            </inventors>
    function loadXML(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
    _root.inventor = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
    _root.comments = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
    name_txt.text = _root.inventor;
    comment_txt.text = _root.comments;
    } else {
      trace("file not loaded!");
    xmlData = new XML();
    xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
    xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
    xmlData.load("http://www.eckul.com/number.xml");

    so, in frame 1 of your fla before you execute that cross-domain load method, use:
    System.security.loadPolicyFile("http:www.yourcrossdomain.com/subdirectoriesIfNeeded/crossd omain2.xml");
    where the following (crossdomain.xml) is in www.yourcrossdomain.com's root (IF you want to allow allow subdirectory policy files):
    <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
    <cross-domain-policy>
    <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
    </cross-domain-policy>
    and in the subdirectory (and its descendents) that you want to allow access put crossdomain2.xml:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
    <cross-domain-policy>

  • File not getting created in a different server

    My requirement.
    I have written a code in the BI system and now need to write an empty file (say a.done)in a directory /interfaces of PI system.
    I wrote using open data set and close data set however the file (a.done) is not getting created in the PI system even though the directory /interfaces exist.
    When I give any directory of that of BI system ,the file(a.done) is getting created i.e the file is getting created on the same server and not on the different server.
    Is there any function module or any other way for the file to get generated in the PI system.

  • Dealing with two email accounts that use the same SMTP (outgoing) server

    Folks:
    re:   mail.app  5.2 (MacOS 10.7.4) with respect to POP accounts only
    I've read this thread multiple times, spent many hours experimenting, and my web searches haven't come up with any more useful help.
    How do you persuade mail.app to accept settings for two similar, but distinct email accounts that use the same SMTP (outgoing) server?   Say, the accounts are "blue.example.com" and "[email protected]". These have different user names and passwords.   The SMTP server is "smtp.example.com". 
    I think this is the appearance of success: the SMTP Server List (as seen in edit-the SMTP-Server-List mode) shows:
    Server Name                   In Use By Account
        smtp.example.com      [email protected], [email protected]
    (Description column omitted for brevity.  And of course, mail.app doesn't show the little envelope icons.)
    But I cannot reliably achieve this result.   When I select the SMTP server from the list for the second account --as suggested in the above-referenced thread--- I see the credentials (user name and password) for the first.  Should I overwrite them?  No, I don't think so -- I think that will break the first account.   I feel mail.app should present me with empty credentials boxes instead.  Maybe this happens -- sometimes.  But I can't see how to make it happen.  Am I simply overlooking something?
    A slightly different way of asking about this issue:   Suppose  I manage to do a proper setup for the two accounts and they work.  Then I change the password for "[email protected]" on the server. What is a reliable way of reaching the SMTP credentials for that account to make the edit?  Same question for "[email protected]"?    Even when I successfully attach two accounts to one SMTP server, I seem only able to reach the first listed one to make changes. (In this case, "blue.example.com").
    It is possible I'm missing something incredibly obvious...    I know the credentials for each account are distinct, but maybe mail.app copies them from the POP (incoming) settings.   Nah, that can't be, can it?   Or what?
    Maybe I'm seeing bizarre things due to scrambled mail.app preferences.  I've seen it before on other apps: delete the current preference file, get an auto-generated fresh one, and sanity returns. But with mail.app, with the prospect of losing years of emails --yeah, I've done it--  I'm extremely reluctant to mess around.
    Suggestions, please.
    TIA
    Message was edited by: Hen3ry  to clean up the table a little and add a parenthetical explanation.

    OK, I'm convinced.   The mail.app UI is BROKEN -- in my primary user account.  Such that it cannot reliably select an outgoing server for editing.
    I created a new user account and installed some relevant example accounts in mail.app in that account.  No problem. Well, a bit obscure, but still fully logical and reliable selection of individual SMTP accounts for editing.
    For the sake of clarity, I think it is best to mark this "answered" and repost, focusing on the symptoms and asking how one might go about repairing the problem.  So I'll do that.

  • How to Check Images File Exist? in different server

    Hi,
    I have 10 different coldfusion server.
    for example 9 server is for the web application site - for
    example
    http://myserverone/studentweb
    the other one is for images website, just for displaying
    student picture - for example
    http://myserverimage/studentpicture.
    the purpose of this website is to display student picture
    that i store as gif files.
    from my studentweb website i will call the images from
    studentpicture website as source for my image placeholder.
    for example this is my code i'm calling form
    http://myserverone/studentweb
    website:
    <img src="
    http://myserverimage/studentpicture/#studentnumber#.gif"
    alt="" name="studentpicture" width="160" height="200">
    my problem is, if there is no specific student picture in my
    studentpicture website, then the placeholder will display an X (
    mean the images not found )
    how do i prevent the X to display?
    how do i using coldfusion or any kind of way to check if the
    images exist on that website ( different server ), so if the images
    is not found, i can display a default images? i can do this if i'm
    calling the website in the same server, but not using a different
    server.
    this is like using other website images for your own personal
    website and sometimes the owner delete the images from their
    website, and i want to display my own images if that images been
    removed from the source website.
    anyone have done this before?
    thanks for suggestion and guide...

    1. Use CFHTTP with method="HEAD".
    2. See, if the HTTP status code is 200.
    The head-method is of course more efficient, as it doesn't
    need to "get" the message body. However, a status code of 200 is
    possible even when the requested image file is no longer on the
    server.

  • Why do we use RMAN DUPLICATE for cloning DB on a different server ?

    DB version : 11.2.0.2, 10.2.0.5
    I want to create a clone of my Production DB in a test server. In the past, I have taken hot backup of this production DB and restored and recovered it in a different server using plain RMAN commands.
    After restoring the control file , mounting the DB and cataloging the backup pieces in the test server , I run
    run {
    restore database ;
    recover database until time <time> ;
    alter database open resetlogs ;
    }In OTN , i came across long running discussions like
    RMAN duplicate database
    where they are trying to restore and recover using DUPLICATE command as shown below.
    run
    duplicate target database to RBS
    nofilenamecheck
    pfile=/tmp/aux.ora;
    Can't they just use plain RMAN restore and recover commands as I did ? What advantage does RMAN DUPLICATE have over the plain commands ?

    RMAN DUPLICATE is designed to give to clone database a new database name and new database identifier:
    >
    If you copy a database with operating system utilities instead of the DUPLICATE command, then the DBID of the copied database remains the same as the original database. To register the copy database in the same recovery catalog with the original, you must change the DBID with the DBNEWID utility (see Oracle Database Utilities). In contrast, the DUPLICATE command automatically assigns the duplicate database a different DBID so that it can be registered in the same recovery catalog as the source database.

  • Mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password from active directory recently after we upgraded to windows 2008 server.

    after upgraded to windows 2008 server, our  mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password anymore. How can I re-bind the wiki server to the AD again? thanks in advance.

    Solved it by deleting the user and creating a new one with the same userID.
    Maybe it occured because I marked the "user has to change password after first login" box when resetting the password but didn't yet allow him to do so in the webpages menu?!?

  • Has anyone put the RAR Background Job Spool on a different server?

    We are on GRC 5.3 SP 13.
    Has anyone put the RAR Background Job Spool File Location (assigned in the Miscellaneous configuration section) on a server different than the one that the GRC Frontend/Java system is on?
    I currently have it assigned to a folder on the GRC server, but it is running out of space.  I am having a problem getting the users to delete old reports as they say they need to keep them for internal Audit controls.  They are also resisting downloading the reports (more work for them).  I have been told that we cannot easily increase the file space on the GRC server (would basically have to purchase more storage and rebuild the server).
    I was thinking about moving the folder over to our virtual storage area, were file size can be more easily expanded.  I haven't found any documentation that says the folder has to be on the GRC server, but I also haven't seen any examples of where it has been put on a different server.
    Has anyone done this, and did you run into any problems?
    Thanks.

    Hello Bob,
    I got your point. Probably there's no recommendation about this, because the recomended practise is to delete or archive the spools as suggested in note : Note 1511027 - Periodic clean up of spool files
    If you have a requirement to keep these files "online", I think the option to save them to a network drive is fine. I haven't tried it for this specific scenario. You have to take into account:
    - Specific user to connect to FileServer
    - Availability of the FileServer. If the FS is down, the RAR job will cancel.
    - Performance. I mean, write to a local disk is not the same to write to a network drive. This point is very difficult to measure,   because it depends on a lot of things like network speed, server load, etc.
    Maybe someone has already implemented it and gives you more hints.
    Cheers,
    Diego.

  • Recovering a datafile from backup in different server

    Hi All,
    I usually take hot backup of datafiles to different server like this because i dont have enough space in same server. I
    SQL> alter tablespace XXXX begin backup;
    host scp /bu1/oradaTA/XXXXX/XXXXX [email protected]:/db1dw/oradata/backup/dec2010/XXXX
    alter tablespace OPS end backup;
    If i want to recover the datafile can i normally do the offline drop of that datafile and copy the datafile from backup which is in differnet server thorugh scp and make the datafile online??? and the database is in archivelog mode but i dont care abt the log files. i just need to recover the datafile as it was from last backup.
    or do we need to use any recover datafile commands?? if need to use any recover datafile command from where it will recover the datafile??
    i dont have any scripts for backup or recovery , i just take manual scp of the datafiles.
    Help plzz, thanks in advance.....

    SQL> alter tablespace XXXX begin backup;
    host scp /bu1/oradaTA/XXXXX/XXXXX [email protected]:/db1dw/oradata/backup/dec2010/XXXX
    alter tablespace OPS end backup;What is the version you are using? is it 9i if not you can peform backup at database level instead of tablespace level.
    If i want to recover the datafile can i normally do the offline drop of that datafile and copy the datafile from backup which is in differnet server thorugh scp and make the datafile online??? and the database is in archivelog mode but i dont care abt the log files. i just need to recover the datafile as it was from last backup.Why offline drop to recover? Are you sure what are you doing?
    or do we need to use any recover datafile commands?? if need to use any recover datafile command from where it will recover the datafile??1) alter system switch logfile;
    2) select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log;
    For Ex:
    Sequence -- 100
    3) alter database begin backup;
    4) copy all the datafiles to another server(bcoz you not have space in same server)
    5) alter database end backup;
    6) select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log;
    For Ex:
    Sequence -- 110
    Then copy these generated 10 archives to new server also.
