ZPM: Need help understanding the quirks of ZPM

Does anyone have a successful implementation of ZPM in ZCM 10.3.3 running smoothly. I have been struggling with this product since December 2010, and need a little guidance around all of the quirkiness that exists.
So far I have found these elements that are inconsistent:
1. Mandatory Baselines with alot of patches to apply will spawn remediate.exe sessions in parallel. There is a hard breakpoint to only allow 4 simultaneous sessions, however sometimes, the patches don't apply at all.
2. When applying patches Windows Installer 4.5 and/or MS07 - 69, I watch it try to apply all 9 versions of the various types of patch, however the patch never successfully installs. Very strange. I assume this behavior could exist among other random patches. The patch client does not report back to the server that it failed. However, it orders the reboot to occur.
3. There is a strange coorelation between the analyze.exe and the remediate.exe if they are running together. Sometimes, the remediate.exe will spawn chaotically if the analyze.exe is processing as well. This occurs if a load block of patches are lined up for deployment.
4. The Graphs in the Patch Management system don't make any sense. I have 522 devices, and only 40 devices are reported on?
My main concern is that I do not have a guaranteed process in place that will ensure patch success. I need the following things to occur:
1. If a patch is successful, I need the server to know that it is successful. :)
2. If the patch fails, I need to see that it fails, I need the debug mechanism in the zmd-messages log to explain why it failed, so that it can be remedied.
3. I would like someday that the mandatory baseline feature works properly, and doesn't go crazy with spawning issues, because low-memory machines freeze up from all the memory allocations that occur.
If anyone is out there who successfully uses this product, please let me know, because I need to steering guidance, because the controls are not obvious on how to work them, and I would hate to abandon ship, if there are some good smart workarounds that are known.
HELP! :)

Need help understanding the device association

So I've been trying to understand the logic for the device association for iTunes in the Cloud, but I just don't get it, and hope someone here can shed some light on it for me. Just to clarify, I'm not talking about the computer authorization (5 computers pr account), but the max 10 devices associated pr account for automatic download and previous purchases.
I have two Apple IDs, two computers and two iOS devices. I've tured OFF automatic download on all devices since I don't want all apps to be downloaded to all devices and I want to manage that myself, but I've been downloading previous purchases on all the devices from iCloud. When I view my account overview I see that one accout is assosicated with one of my computers, but nothing else. The other account is associated with my iPad but nothing else. The "problem" is that I can download previous purchases from both accounts from both the iPad and the computer i mentioned. If I understand the device association description correctly, this should not have been possible(?) I should only be able to download previously purchased apps from the account the device is associated with right? I've also downloaded previously purchased apps from my other computer and iPhone as well without them being associated with any of the accounts.
Don't get me wrong - I'm glad I can do this, but I'm just trying to understand how the devices get associated? I don't want any of my devices to end up in a 90 day quarantine, so it would be nice to know how to avoid this.
Thanks!

Probably not of any help but my understanding was the same as yours i.e. if you turn on automatic downloads, use iTunes match or re-download past purchases then that computer or device becomes associated with that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
But I've seen other people post the same experience as you have, so it's not clear to me when it does or doesn't start an association. When people ask how to get content that their partner/spouse has bought onto their device I usually suggest that they copy it from computer to computer (e.g. via a flash drive) and add it to their iTunes and sync it as opposed to re-downloading it due to the potential 90 day association.

I need help understanding the concept of Java...

Hello, this is my first post. I'm new to Java as well as programming, and I;m really having problems understanding the whole concept of classes, methods, arguments, parameters, constructors and so forth....can someone please explain this in baby terms....like a class is a big box and a method is something inside the box, or out!!!
thanks

Hi,
It looks you know nothing about programming. :)
Java is a very nice and easy programming language.
The best for you is to start programming to read a book
"Thinking in Java", Bruce Eckel. You can find it on the internet or download it from www.BruceEckel.com, or find it on www.filesearch.ru. This book will give you everything about Java. And then take any book what you like and go ahead. Practice, Practice and Practice!
Good luck!

Need help understanding the local caching of jnlp when creating it via jsp

I'm trying to deploy an app via Web Start. I have occasions when I need to pass arguments, so I'm using JSP to create the JNLP and optionally write arguments.
I need some help in figuring out how to cover my different use cases with as few different jnlps as possible and am confused about the local cacheing logic.
Use 1
Initial install: I pass an init=yes url param which writes a preferences file <argument> to be passed to my app. I don't want this argument cached in my jnlp, as this will overwrite the user's preferences on subsequent launches.
Use 2
Subsequent offline launches: no url params passed.
Use 3
Launch via html link (in a CMS): passes a file=<filename> url param which creates a file <argument> for my app to open. Again, I don't want this argument cached, otherwise launching from, say, the desktop shortcut will reopen this file.
Can anyone explain how best to cover these three use cases?
TIA!

Did you solve this cache problem? I have a similar issue where I don't want it to use the arguments over again...

Need help understanding the various speaker set

I must admit to never having used anything but a 2 speaker setup with a sub. I was using an altec set with 4 speakers and a sub, tho i only used it as stereo. This is where i'm confused. What was that...a 5. Thats what i believe it's called. The description doesn't fit because i see there are also 4. sets. So if a 4. means 4 speakers and a sub, what is a 5.....5 speakers and a sub? Thats wouldn't seem balance with an odd number of speakers.
So as you can see i'm totally in the dark about all this and need a explanation as to what the . represents (the sub?) and the difference between 5. and 4..
Another question...i now have the logitech 2. Z-2200's. I'm sorta wishing now that i'd gotten some 5.'s or whatever 4 speakers and a sub is called. last nite i hooked up the old altecs to the rear channel so that i had a full 5. setup, tho of course the very different sounding different speakers on the rear channel probably held back the full potential of the sound. Anyway, i listened to some mucic with this setup and played UT2004 with it. As to the sound for the game, that was nice but nothing to write home about. But the music listening was great. So can anyone suggest a good sounding set of PC speakers to match the logitech's sound quality. I 'm talking about a simple 2 speaker set, no sub, just to hook up to the rear channel. Doesn't have to match the logitech's tonal curve, just it's level of quality, or at least fairly close to it. I'd just use the altecs but they sounded literally /4 as good as the logitechs.

I guess i wasn't clear...i wrote the post at work and was rushed, plus since then i've figured out what the x.x sytem refers to exactly.
I just bought a 2. logitech system and already have a 4. ste of altecs. I love the logitechs and have no intention of getting something else, especially considering i just got em a week ago. but i tried using the altecs with the sub off and only 2 speakers as the rear speakers to simulate a 4. setup. I really like it and therefore decided to get another good set of 2.0 to use as rears only along with the logitechs to have 4. as i now have with the altecs because the altechs sound crappy. So what i really want to know is if anyone makes a good 2.0 set. I since found a few, but the good ones are as much as my logitec 2. system because there are only a very few good 2.0's made. So my only choice i've found so far is an altec set.
The other thing i was wondering is how to get the 4. setup to work correctly because there is no 4. in speaker setup in ctpanel. i saw a thread that showed a download that will allow 4., but i was going to lunch and didn't have time to read it fully. So i'm gonna go check it out right now and see if the download applies to my card.

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
Thanks,
Wei

Hi Hussein,
Thank you for the response.
Application release is 11.5.10.
Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH

The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

You aren't addressing anyone from Apple here. This is a user forum.
You might want to call a neaby Apple store to see if they have a free class you could attend.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

Need help regarding the location of Exchange 2013 Logs for parsing

Hi, I am trying to create reports based on the logs that are created on my exchange server. I am using
exchange 2013. My problem is that I cannot handle every log, and instead want specific types of logs.
I need help finding the specific locations of the following types of logs (If they even exist), so that I can parse them and use them effectively:
Audit Logs (Mailbox logons, Mailbox permission changes, Mailbox property changes,
Exchange store changes)
Mail Report Logs (Mailbox size and growth, Mailbox storage growth, Enabled users, Expired and Soon-to-Expire Mailboxes)
Exchange Traffic Reports (Details on size and amount of messages sent and recieved, Internet traffic [to and from], Traffic between exchange users)
I understand this might sound like a huge undertaking, but any help that can be provided would be appreciated.
Again, I need information on the locations of these types of logs on the exchange server, so that I can parse them. Collecting them all and searching through them is not practical for my available resources.
Thanks,
Matt

Audit Logs (Mailbox logons, Mailbox permission
changes, Mailbox property changes, Exchange
store changes) ---- these are two type of logs, 1. mailbox audit logs and that is stored in each mailbox under dumpster
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff461930(v=exchg.150).aspx however you need to
enable
it for individual mailboxes... 2. admin audit log, this is stored into a system mailbox dumpster.... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335052(v=exchg.141).aspx
Mail Report Logs (Mailbox size and growth, Mailbox
storage growth, Enabled users, Expired and Soon-to-Expire Mailboxes) ---- there isn't any specific log for this, you would need to create some time of script to collect this every day for you and store it somewhere... This is a good start... http://www.stevieg.org/2011/06/exchange-environment-report/
Exchange Traffic Reports (Details on size and
amount of messages sent and recieved, Internet traffic [to and from], Traffic between exchange users) ----- This you can get from message tracking log... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124375(v=exchg.150).aspx

Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.

Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.
Anytime I select Vibrance to adjust the color of an image. The whole image turns Pink in the highlights when the slider is moved from "0" to - or + in value. Can the Vibrance tool be reset to prevent this from happening? When this happens I cn not make adjustments...just turns Pink.
Thanks,
GD

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, that does reset to “0” and the Pink does disappear.
But as soon as I move the slider +1 or -1 or higher the image turns Pink in all of the highlights again, rather than adjusting the overall color.

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been tol...

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range. I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins). Didn't work.
thanks

What router are you using? Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS (not the WRT54GS).
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.
