Composer View service

Quick question for anyone just getting started with the rest of the notice.  Why in the world I have to install the service View Composer vCenter Server?  Why it cannot reside on the dedicated server View Manager/broker?  I try to keep my vCenter servers lean and mean that, since they are increasingly important to Virtual Infrastructure these days.  Certainly, if I had the choice I would have a server vCenter separated only for the VDI environment, but this is not always an option in some environments.  And despite everything, vCenter is still important (more so in fact) in a VDI implementation in a situation of standard server virtualization, so service after service to add is not something I like to do.  It seems to me that it is just a simple web service to listen and communicate with the Linked Clone, data base, but why he can't do it all of the broker and connect to vCenter via standard API?

Note, I know that VMware requires this configuration, but I am looking for the technical reasons why this is necessary if anyone knows.  Google and the search of these forums is not helped me a lot.

In essence, a design decision to keep simple setup, i.e. in a perspective View Manager it is to connect to an active "View Composer" vCenter server or not.  Technically there is no reason why the Server View Composer could not live on a separate server (or potentially co-exist on the Manager to display server), but currently it is not taken in charge or configurable.

Thank you

  • Migrate DB composer view existing to a new server of DB

    I need to move our current database view composer from its current location (oldserver1) to a new location (newserver1), while maintaining the existing View composer service. It of just a matter of the DB Backup, restore to a new location, create a new ODBC and then change the settings for the DB composer within the view administrator? The function of composer should not need to be back in place, right? In addition, composer uses the port 18443 by default, but the new database uses port 1433 and it's the last DB that will need to be migrated to the new server (that is, there are other DBs residing on newserver1).

    So that you do not move the service shouldn't you need to reinstall or change anything within the opinion as the configuration for the service views.     The 18443 is see how connect to the service not the database, so you should not change this either.

  • Account domain for the composer display Service Administrator

    The administration and guide of the wizard to create an automated dekstop pool with linked cloning technology all have two other press information of the domain administrator rights.

    The administration guide says:

    "View Composer requires the credentials of the account domain user with the required level of authority for the administration of the area to add systems to a domain. While you can use an administrator account to domain existing for this role, it is strongly recommended that your Active Directory administrator to create a special user account for this purpose. »

    While the wizard says:

    "In order to join workstations to a domain, QuickPrep requires domain administrator".

    in the drop-down domain administrator account. QuickPrep can also run

    scripts on power - off and after the creation of new jobs or a reorganization or

    Refresh event. Home (located on the computer Virtual Parent) paths for scripts".

    So far, I created a service without rights of domain administrator account, but the right to link computers don't field. In vain the deployment of office in the display manager.

    Should the service account really have FULL domain admin rights? The problem is that no major company would create a service with full domain name account as mention in the wizard vmware admin rights. Or do I need more rights (perhaps creating OU in Active Directory)?

    You don't need full administrator. The account must have both create and delete computer objects ACE. The following steps should help you. This should also be applied to the correct level OR if you have organizational units

    Grant "Create computer objects" and 'Delete computer objects' entries (ACE) to the user access control

  • Field Service dispatcher cannot view service requests

    Hello

    I have installation just a new test instance of EBS 12.1.1. with the Vision demonstration database.

    When I use representative responsibility of Field service, I'm able to search service requests and create them without a problem. But when I use the field Service Dispatcher responsibility, I'm not able to search for service requests as LOV has 0 records. When you create a new service request, I'm not able to select a Type of Service that the LOV is empty.

    Is this a bug or is missing of any installation?

    You must add a startup splash screen image that is the size of the screen of the iPhone 5. You may need to google for more details, I have at hand. But it is how the iOS device knows what is the size of the usable screen. Then your application fills the screen correctly.

    I am currently deployment of VMWare view for the first time in a test environment and have hit a problem I have not been able to get around despite several searches on google and trial and error.

    Hoping that someone here could suggest something.

    View the VMWare versions are all 6.0.1.

    vCenter is on a device.

    VMWare view connection manager is on a 2012 R2 VM server.

    VMWare view dial is on a separate server 2012 R2 VM.

    I have a 2012 SQL on a separate server 2012 R2 VM Server installation.

    SQL databases have been set up for the composer to be able to reach it, it uses ODBC 64-bit via SQL Server Native Client 11.0.

    I tried troubleshooting by exchanging 32-bit, but this is not connected, it seems so 64 bit is correct.

    I have a windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition VM under my Golden image. There are VMWare tools on it and the VMWare agent on it.

    The virtual ipconfig/release performed top machine, he was then stop and a snapshot taken as my source.

    The problem is that when I go to deploy a pool of offices, I get the above error.

    If I connect to the VM created via vCenter readers persistent and temporary show very well.

    Based on the error, I tried different settings such as change the path for the reader of DVD VMs of D: to Z:, spread unique persistence and the temporary disks on multiple data-stores or data stores and even remove the drive of DVD of VMs completely. I have also looked at newspapers under composer view but find nothing to explain the behavior.

    SQL Server seems to work for configuration through the error logs and virtual machines are created and added to AD as expected.

    I must point out that the virtual machines are as linked clones.

    Can anyone offer a clue as to the cause or something, I can check it please, did everything I can think and Googling the error does not come to the top with something useful so far.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sorry if I'm not clear, English is not my mother tongue.

    vCenter doesn't have to be in a domain. In fact, I even use the VCSA for centuries (new version, this is exactly what need you since the limitations are parties) should not be part of a domain.

    Composer should not find itself in a field no more. You can install local MSDB (SQL Express is very good even for its huge pods but given the huge pods must already have a database server some part...) with the SQL account for authentication, no need to be in a field here.

    Security Server cannot be in a field.

    Server connection MUST be in a domain. It is mandatory, that you can not install even if you are not.

    You'll also need a domain account for the composer to be able to add computers to the domain.

    This is what it takes, now, you put it in the right place in the display configuration. When you declare your vCenter, for example, you only need to set the accounts needed to communicate with vCenter with sufficient rights (and rights should apply to the ROOT level, not at the level of DATA Center), with the composer with sufficient rights as well (in general, you will use the composer server's local administrator account). To properly configure the composer, you must also declare the area you are going to compose, it's where things can go wrong because the composer must be able to resolve this area, so my advice is to add the domain DNS server (most of the time, DC) as a local for the resolution of domain DNS. Then, you will need the domain account to be able to compose this area;

  • No server found view composer

    I think that the solution to the problem can be simple, but I'm not find clue in the documentation I see.

    I'll put up a view view environment 4.5. I have a vCenter server, SQL Server on the same environment as View Composer and Connection manager. There are no firewall in the environment or enabled on the operating system of these machines. The View Composer and the connection manager are on the same VM.

    Problem: When I try to add the vcenter Server, it throws the following error "no composer view server Found. Either a bad port has been entered or a network connection error occurred", as shown in figure below.

    My research in VMTN and Internet, has pointed out to me that the problem may be with configurations of network or administrator rights, but as mentioned before all these machines are on the same VLAN and there is no firewall. Also I use a single user from the administrator of domain for all these machines., (this is a laboratory environment, this is why we can afford to do).

    Your suggestions are very appreciated.

    Thank you.

    The composer of the view must be installed on the vCenter server and not on the display connection server.

    Any ideas why view composer agent is not listed.

    Looks like you mixed up View Client and Agent of the view.

    .. When I run the installer of VMware-viewclient - 4.5.0 - 293049

    from the guide (step 1)

    To start the Agent display installation program, double-click on the installation file.
