    Hi Tom,

    A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. The firewall blocks the information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or passed through depends on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3 includes firewall software.

  • Discover the State of the agent (16) composer initialization error: impossible to activate the license of the software (expected 1650 seconds)

    Hello

    I have problem in View 4.5. When I create the new office with Windows 7 32 bit pool, pool automatic, floating, connected clone, fast prep. After the deployment of Windows 7 machines they had to customize report. After a few minutes's status has changed error (error state View Composer agent initialization (16): impossible to activate the license of the software (expected 1650 seconds))

    Could you please help me, where is the problem?

    I bought licenses for the view with the composer.

    My environment are:

    2 x vCenter server 4.0.0 build 258672 (windows 2008 r2 + Composer 2.5.0 - 291081)

    4 x 4 ESX u2 (2xESX by vCenter server)

    2 x display connection servers x86_64 - 4.5.0 - 293049 (Windows 2008r2) as a single environment. View environment using the server vCenter + 2 composers

    Thank you

    You have KMS license in effect for your Windows 7 Machines.  If this isn't the case, that is the question.

    You have 4 options:

    Option 1: Get KMS licenses in place for Microsoft Win7. -by far the easiest.

    Option 2: Use SYSPREP instead of QuickPrep

    Option 3: Add 1 at a time and activate the link manually clones b4 customization finishes - pain in the rear. Or be creative if it's your test env.

    Option 4: Hack the key "reg" activate this supossedly a composer. Here is the info:

    HKLMsystem/CurrentControlSet/services/vmware-viewcomposer-ga/SkipLicenseActivation to '1'.

    Of course the Win7 Office will be up to the period-eval evaluation mode expires but can be useful in a temporary unit or POC.

    The foregoing is not tested I tried it in my environment but do not know if it works because I don't want to mess with my installing any further until my POC is complete.  But it seems to work.  I found no key but went ahead and created.  Seems to work.

  • Oracle DB 11.2.0.4: Impossible to activate the table lock after having stopped it

    Hello

    I use Oracle Database 11.2.0.4.

    After reading the documentation on how to prevent unwanted table DDL statement.

    I found a way to do this in by issuing 'edit the table < table_name > disable table lock'.

    Turn it off doesn't work, however I can not re - activate.

    The error message is:

    ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified or timeout expired

    I want to activate the lock, because I need to add new columns to this table.

    I was digging on several threads that have the same problem as mine. But none of them gives any acceptable solution.

    Impossible to activate the table lock after disablng it

    ALTER table enable table lock blocking

    However, a poster responds by quoting the documentation that says: (Note: I can't find what doc says)

    'Specify the TABLE LOCK ACTIVATE to activate the table locking, allowing operations on the table DDL. All currently process transactions must commit or roll before Oracle database allows table locking. »


    By the way:

    1. the table is mine and nobody knows there are (therefore, it would be just me which undoubtedly make any DML at it, and I did not).

    2. I've disabled the lock table months ago and tried to turn it back on because I want to add the new column to the table.


    It means that I have to wait for that "ALL transactions running" happening on the current scheme being validated or cancelled?

    The table itself is located on the stops and never schema of production on which transactions take place continuously.


    Is it true that Oracle expects all execute transactions? Is it known bug?

    Why would Oracle wait as all transactions which has nothing to do with the underlying table?

    Is there no workaround solution to solve this?


    Note:

    I tried to deactivate - activate the table locking on the development database (which has less transaction) and it works fine.


    Kind regards

    Your best option might be suspended from the database. If it is an application of type OTP, it must suspend in some secinds, do your DOF, then get out. Your users should not notice. I have described the mechanism here,

    I tried to get my pre sync with Exchange and make it work properly.  I got a few different error messages along the way, but now I seem to be stuck again.  Here's what I've done so far:

    1. entered my info the new account screen.  Come on an "impossible to validate the account settings" error.  I was using the following information:

    E-mail type: Exchange (EAS)

    Email address: {My Email}

    Incoming mail server: http://{ServerName}/exchange

    Domain: {DomainName}

    User name: {my domain user name}

    Password: {password}

    2A got the 1.0.2 update and the error message I tried again, same.

    3 Configuring SSL on the exchange server and tried https rather than http.  Same error message.

    4A changed username to {domainname} \ {UserName}.  SSL certificate error received.

    5. follow-up to the steps in the forums to install the root certificate.  Now make error "your username or password is not correct". I tried to enter my password several times to check that I wasn't go bad at.

    If I take the domain name on the username back to the incapable person to validate the error of account settings.  Anyone has any ideas on what could cause this problem?

    Hi avsfan273,

    First of all, you defintely should not put the domain\\user before your user name as a field dedicated for it on the meadow. Let's get out the part and focus on the error you get when it is configured in this way. Can you post the exact error message that you receive?
