  • HP Envy 5530 question about Online versus WiFi and access by HP for ink monitoring program

    Hello

    I am new here and also back to the program monthly fresh HPs for the programme of replacement of ink as well, I tried to find the answer to my question but could not.  Then...

    My question is, as I don't have a WiFi router (used for tv, netflix etc. at all hours of the day) to use my new HP printer Envy 5530, and given that I am enrolled in the program of ink, this means that my computer itself must stay online 24/7? Or just have my WiFi on 24/7 gives the printer access, it must be monitored by HP for its ink for the monthly subscription levels to be enrolled in the program of HP ink?

    Thank you

    PhyAnnie

    Hello

    No need to be on 24/7. Whenever you turn on the printer, it will connect to HP Server you set up normally (you can print, scan, and send it to print).

    Kind regards.

  • Questions about online training

    1. what homework comes before or during classes online?

    2. how the laboratory sessions fit the class online 1 week?

    I asked VMware education but have not yet received response.

    Thank you, Tom

    I found VMware education to be quite sensitive - but to answer your question online setup and configure class is like the public class classes - before the class, you must be a professional experienced with work experience - with the server and server operating systems are there no need no prior experience virtualization, but it is useful.  The course material is laid out very well and itself is inspired by the module. There is no real duties assigned to be outside of the classroom, as laboratories are made during class, but it would be useful to review the days lesson because in general they are build on in the next day.

    The laboratories are doing during class hours, but you can access environments lab the week outside of class.

  • Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

    I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

    Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

    Lenovo ThinkPad T450

    Model: 20BV00BUS

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

    RAM: 4 GB

    Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

    Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

    Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

    A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

    I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

    This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

    The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

    Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

    Kind regards

    Hi Victor,

    I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

    We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

    To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

    Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

    (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

    Select Start,

    Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

    If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

    I hope this helps.

  • Question about the strength of password

    (do not ask questions about the recovery of the password, so please do not report this thread)

    OK, I heard that the virus can change the password on a computer.

    But if you have a password very complicated (for example, one with a lot of numbers and other things), it will be more difficult/less likely for the virus to be able to change your password?

    Yes.  A strong password is, it is more difficult to crack.  For more information, see create strong passwords on the Microsoft online safety site. Boulder computer Maven

  • Windows 7 starts questions about mac and office 2010 following an installation

    It's a long cut as short as vent. I've been miss sold a record of upgrade of windows 8 full disk-shaped, with norton and office 2010.

Until I loaded the office that I was invited to perform the update from apple in the windows software 7. Note before I installed norton, I load boot camp mac utilities according to the instructions. So, followed by all as should be. The prompt update from apple was quick time, iTunes and airport, I checked all and then updated. Then I loaded office 2010 and obtained throughout the process from the Microsoft site. On the last part of the installation, the installation failed due to a mistake of hanging iTunes. I tried again and again, I fixed the update to iTunes to add and remove the section of windows. Then, I got different errors. I decided to remove the whole score without uninstalling all programs again. When I get to the windows live, that this falls priming. I get various error messages whenever I try to start the process.

  • Small questions about Dataguard

    Hello

    I have a few questions about Dataguard. I'm new to DG, carry me so for the display of these fundamental questions:

    We plan to install Oracle 12 c to Win 2012 R2 with primary and physical intelligence on different physical servers. We are looking for HA solution, but cannot afford to license CARS. The two primary & Eve are going to be in the same data center connected via a 1 gigabit network. So I have a few questions related to it.

    (a) since both of our primary & Eve is going to be in the same data center with good connectivity. Can I assume that although Data guard is more DR solution, in our case it would be HA solution since we have no network latency.

    (b) is it safe to assume that where primary fails, then the day before can automatically take the role of primary education without any manual intervention, possibly using Dataguard broker?

    (c) so I understand that where primary breaks down, the existing connections transfer automatically from primary to standby db (most recent primary), but how my web based java application will know that more recent connections must be sent to the standby db Server (more recent primary)? I guess net Oracle has a provision to handle this? Who can be automated?

    (d) given that I have only 2 physical servers, can I deploy broker Dataguard on a normal PC (since it is a thin client) assuming the PC is kept in the data center and is online 24/7?

    (e) I was reading about the modes of Protection, account required to our current situation & infrastructure, I choose 'Maximum availability Mode' instead of 'maximum Performance '.

    (f) what is your point of view about Oracle integrated security? I hear too much on Oracle failsafe, because people generally go to a combination of CARS & dataguard for HA? We have a few additional storage that can be shared between the two servers, but I feel with literally no DG network latency can provide us HA.

    Concerning

    Learner

    (a) since both of our main & secondary is going to be in the same data center with good connectivity. Can I assume that although Data guard is more DR solution, in our case it would be HA solution since we have no network latency.

    Well it will not provide the level of HA that is RAC. RAC is a Transparent Application failover. With a physical standby, you need to apply some delay for a failover operation. You can implement the observer that can automate the failover and reduce the time.

    (b) is it safe to assume that where primary fails, then the day before can automatically take the role of primary education without any manual intervention, possibly using Dataguard broker?

    This isn't really the DG broker, but rather the observer you will need to implement. The DG broker automate failover. It will be the observer who "sees" (where its name) that the principal is down and initiate the failover process. To do this, the observer will use the DG broker, so it will be necessary.

    (c) so I understand that where primary breaks down, the existing connections transfer automatically from primary to standby db (most recent primary), but how my web based java application will know that more recent connections must be sent to the standby db Server (more recent primary)? I guess net Oracle has a provision to handle this? Who can be automated?

    You'll want to read on the QuickStart failover. http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/articles/smiley-fsfo-084973.html

    (d) given that I have only 2 physical servers, can I deploy broker Dataguard on a normal PC (since it is a thin client) assuming the PC is kept in the data center and is online 24/7?

    The DG broker is required to run on the database server. The DG broker will run on the primary and standby. I think that what you're asking really anything is if the observer can run on a PC. Yes it can. However, it is probably not a good idea. A PC will not have the internal hardware redundancy, a server can have. If the PC can fail more often than to a server. And if the gods are bad, it will fail when you most need.

    (e) I was reading about the modes of Protection, account required to our current scenario & infrastructure, I choose 'Maximum availability Mode' instead of 'maximum Performance '.

    Your choice should depend on the amount of data loss is acceptable.

    (f) what is your point of view about Oracle integrated security? I hear too much on Oracle failsafe, because people generally go to a combination of CARS & dataguard for HA? We have a few additional storage that can be shared between the two servers, but I feel with literally no DG network latency can provide us HA.

    Oracle integrated security only works on Windows with a MS Failover Cluster. Real DBAs do not have Oracle on MSFC.

  • A few questions about installing Windows on a Mac

    Hello world.

    I'm considering installing Windows on my 2006 iMac. I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with that. I know that this machine will run Windows 7 or 8, in terms of system resources, but probably doesn't have the RAM for 10.

    The girl has reached Apple Obsolescence and no longer can be upgraded to newer versions of Mac OS. Unfortunately, this also means that she can not get the latest version of iTunes and don't talk to my phone. But she still my entire library of music.

    I know that used at least iTunes is available on Windows, but I seem to remember that they took it. Y at - it an option to put my iTunes music on an iPhone 6 in a Windows environment? I don't mind if I need to convert files or otherwise work for her. I have just a few old out-of-print stuff that I really miss being able to listen to anywhere other than my office.

    I'm pretty much stuck with versions before 10, due to the RAM thing. Honestly, I haven't used Windows since around 1998, with the exception of a terminal XP at work, so I don't know much about it. Any recommendation on which version is the best? And I can buy a copy online directly from Microsoft?

    If I would be better off buying a new laptop for very cheap, it is also a possibility. But my Mac still works well, despite not being not supported for updates, and I hate wasting perfectly good material. I just don't have the money for another Mac right now.

    Hello

    Any questions on iTunes, the best place to ask the community Apple iTunes is their program, not Microsoft.

  • A question about external authentication with PHP OCI8 using a portfolio store

    Hello
    SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
    
    BANNER
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
    PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    CORE     11.2.0.1.0     Production
    TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    
    SQL> 
    OS: Linux Fedora Core 17 (x86_64)
    PHP Version: 5.4.14
    Apache version (httpd): Apache/2.2.23 (Fedora) 
    I have a question about OCI8 connection to the Oracle server via portfolio, which I understand is a good practice because we do not have to hard code the users password. I'm trying to read pages 117 and 118 of the book The Underground PHP and Oracle manual online to learn how to set up a portfolio. I proceeded by steps as explained in these two pages (except that at the end I connect, as a normal user, not a privileged user) yet, apparently PHP does not detect the user.

    Here's what I write in my script
    $connection = 
                    oci_connect 
                        (
                            "training", 
                            "", 
                            "php_ora_usr", 
                            "AL32UTF8"
                        );
    the training is the name of the user that I use in my PHP scripts to connect to the oracle database and the password is mypassword (is not true, just for the purpose of this thread :)) the code above gives me the following error:)
    Warning: oci_connect(): ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied in /var/www/html/myscript.php on line 91
    
    Fatal error: Connection step: ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied in /var/www/html/myscript.php on line 13
    But if I also provide the password which is,
    $connection = 
                    oci_connect 
                        (
                            "training", 
                            "mypassword", 
                            "php_ora_usr", 
                            "AL32UTF8"
                        );
    Obviously it works, but at the same time, this means that my wallet is not operational.

    So I'll write here, step by step, how I did according to the instructions contained in the pages 117 and 118 of the above mentioned book and I would be grateful if you could kindly tell where I made the mistake (s)

    The following text was performed under my oracle linux (so the dbagroup)

    Step 01:_
    I created and provided the password for the directory of portfolio
    mkstore -wrl /home/oracle/wallet_dir -create
    Step 02:_
    I created an entry for my oracle user that will be used in my PHP scripts to connect to oracle
    user: training
    password: mypassword
    mkstore -wrl "/home/oracle/wallet_dir" -createCredential php_ora_usr training mypassword
    I also checked that the entry was actually created for my user in the portfolio
    $ mkstore -wrl "/home/oracle/wallet_dir" -listCredential
    Oracle Secret Store Tool : Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    Copyright (c) 2004, 2009, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
    
    Enter wallet password:                
       
    List credential (index: connect_string username)
    1: php_ora_usr training
    $ 
    Step 03:_
    I added the following to my $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora
    .  .  .
    php_ora_usr = 
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVER = DEDICATED)
          (SERVICE_NAME = db02)
        )
      )
    .  .  .
    Step 04_
    I added the following to my $TNS_ADMIN/sqlnet.ora
    # sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
    
    NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
    
    ADR_BASE = /u01/app/oracle
    
    WALLET_LOCATION =
        (SOURCE =
            (METHOD = FILE)
            (METHOD_DATA =
                (DIRECTORY = /home/oracle/wallet_dir)
            )
        )
    SQLNET.WALLET_OVERRIDE = TRUE
    SSL_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION = FALSE
    SSL_VERSION = 0
    _ Step 05
    The TNS_ADMIN environment variable is already set correctly in * / etc/sysconfig/httpd * so I didn't need to do something for this step


    Step 06_
    I gave to access Apache (as root) in the directory of portfolio (in fact, it seems that the user oracle (dba) of linux also has the required privileges to grant this access to the apache)
    # setfacl -m u:apache:rx /home/oracle/wallet_dir
    # setfacl -m u:apache:r /home/oracle/wallet_dir/{cwallet.sso,ewallet.p12}
    Step 07_
    Restart Apache
    # service httpd restart
    Step 08_
    Finally make a test connection using the connection string php_ora_usr which the entry was created earlier. And the test was not successful, as indicated above
    $connection = 
                    oci_connect 
                        (
                            "training", 
                            "", 
                            "php_ora_usr", 
                            "AL32UTF8"
                        );
    The error message:
    Warning: oci_connect(): ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied in /var/www/html/myscript.php on line 91
    
    Fatal error: Connection step: ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied in /var/www/html/myscript.php on line 13
    I would appreciate it if you could kindly shed some light.

    Thanks in advance,
    Dariyoosh

    That gives a good clue to begin with. With your platform/Apache/DB, you might need different ACLs. Test directory and permissions. Check what euid your Apache runs as. Good luck.

  • Question about the need to connect every 30 days...

    I understand the need for CC programs to connect to license Adobe servers, every 30 days (or it's 99, since I have an annual license?) of re - check license status.  That said, I have a question about the timing of these connections the licence renewal.

    What happens if I happen to be disconnected so far here 30?

    With the help of Microsoft for example...  I need Visual Studio to reactivate my developers license every 30 days in order for me to develop applications Windows 8 'metro '.  If I happen to be disconnected so far here 30, I am unable to work on any apps 'metro' until I got online.  (And I don't see any way to tell him to reactivate at the beginning).

    What happens with Adobe CC?

    Suppose I have license, and I am online for 29 days.  Then, the 30th day, I find myself be in offline mode when I start one of the programs of CC.  Now what?  Does the 30-day clock 'reset' every now and then during this time, or is it really only try every 30 days, and I have to be online on that day?

  • Questions about MRI

    Hi all

    My client asked me a few questions about MRI with ecm11g, I can't find the doc online answers, could someone tell me the answer?
    1. what kind of documents can be sealed by MRI, ms office should be able to be sealed, anyway, when I right click on a file .cmd or .rar in windows Resource Manager, there is no seal on in the option list
    2. is there a way to map IRM rights with model of account group/ECM ACL / security?
    3. text search full ECM can a doc sealed (for example: a word sealed) which is stored in ecm?

    Best regards

    I don't think that there is no configuration necessary.

    Just checked in 10g (Complutense University of MADRID and MRI):
    -There is a component called IRMIntegration
    -in the section of the Administration there is a menu item that allows configuration of base between the AAU and MRI (URL, port, etc) and it also contains an indicator "Index sealed Documents" - I think that it is the little thing that does not work in your system
    -When an element is integrated, it can be assigned to a metadata field called Protection MRI, which is filled with all the contexts in which a current 'seal' user allowed to (I assume that you do not see this area in your system)

    A context to this field of filling causes an item to be sealed. My system is a little slow, so I knew when the item was GENWWW, it was even made public. Once this was done, it was already sealed (and so was his web viewable format - spdf).

    I'll also take a look if the component is available in the 11g environment.

    As I expected: the component is not available in the 11g environment

  • Dreamweaver is right for me? (also Question about Adobe courses)

    Hello!

    I am a student of five year

    who is eager to learn

    design of websites and animations.

    I already have Photoshop cs5

    but I want to learn more about the design of web sites.

    Dreamweaver is the correct program?

    I have also a question about Adobe courses (online)

    Will they go through and show you how to create websites

    with dreamweaver... Models, etc. like this stuff?
    All comments appreciated.

    Thank you

    CG

    I am rustic most qualified to answer this question, but I'll have a go at it. First of all, I admire your ambition!

    Dreamweaver is a great tool, but it will not necessarily learn you webdesign. Once you have an idea base of what happens in a website design, you'll really enjoy what DreamWeaver can do for you. I'll give you the same advice I was given when I wanted to first get into DreamWeaver and web design.

    I would really suggest some basic HTML and CSS books and use a text editor to create your first pages. Once you start to undersatnd that you do, then by all means, get a DreamWeaver training. Everyone has their own favourite titles to learn the basics, so I'll just say this is a suggestion and has helped me to start. The first head of series has been clearly written, has a good sense of humor, and helped me to get the basics. Check your libraries, shops of second hand books or other resale stores. I know you mentioned the Adobe online, but I have also used and as, Adobe Classroom in a Book series. Once I learned a particular version, I found the Missing Manual good for cutting-edge issues series and going to a new version.

    Don't be discouraged, stick with it and don't be afarid to try another book, if you don't like what I suggested. We all learn differently and what has worked for me may not work for you!
