• Shell script to start a Terminal session with environment from

  Hi all
  
  I installed 12.1.1 on OEL 5.
  As I install it with a single user, I will need to switch between the application and db layer.
  I would like to create two scripts, one that opens a Terminal Services session and the env app of the sources file and another that opens the Terminal Server session and the env sources db file.
  
  Someone has he done something like this before?
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  In this case, you can create two files env (one called apps.env and the other a db.env called) under the home directory of the user (for example, / home/oracle), and in each file env you source the env to application/database file. So, every time you login, you have the source of the two files manually to set the variables approx.

  Thank you

• How can I reproduce a field in JavaScript, including its action script?

  Hello

  I saw ways to reproduce effectively the value of a field in JavaScript.  The following code is from a JavaScript for Acrobat API document:

  f = this.getField ("myField");

  for (var I in f) {}

  try {}

  If (typeof f [i]! = 'function') / / do not list the field methods

  Console.println (I + ': ' + f [i])

  } catch (e) {} / / an exception occurs when we get a property that

  } / / does not apply to this type of field.

  With the exception of all the scripts that could be associated with the field, I think that the code actually gives the variable "f" a copy of the field "MyField" - with all of its properties and values.  At this point how would I be able to get a copy of all the scripts in action the field?  I want to go to a certain extent, where I could possibly add them to the field 'f'  Is it possible to do this?

  Thank you for your time and consideration,

  Mike

  PS: I use Acrobat Pro XI for the development.
  

  No, you can not what actions/scripts are attached to field (events) with JavaScript triggers.

• vCenter alarms and calling a powershell script

  OK, I'm missing something or I'm doing something incredibly stupid.

  I created a simple powershell script that starts a pre-defined VM. I tested it in PowerGUI, it works fine, no problems so far.

  Now all I want to do is set an alarm to ANOTHER VM of vCenter, such that if the virtual machine goes down (power of the off state), the script above is called and "failover" VM is started.

  I set up the alarm with a "run a script" action, the script is: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe C:\SCRIPTS\FAILOVER.ps1" (including the quotes).

  And you guessed it: the script does not run. I'm sure that it doesn't, because the part of the script creates a log file, and this file is not creaed (it IS created when I run the PowerGUI script).

  What I am doing wrong? How can I get the alarm to hit my script?

  Thank you!

  I've never managed to run a PS script this way or the other.

  But I found a workaround.

  You can start your PS script indirectly via a BAT or CMD file.

  That's what I set in the value field

  c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\Scripts\alarmscript.bat
  

  And the BAT file contained this

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsolefile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows\vim.psc1" -Command C:\Scripts\Test-Alarm.ps1
  

  In the example script I used

  Get-VIToolkitVersion | Out-File "C:\Scripts\PSOut.log" -Append
  Get-PSSnapin | Out-File  "C:\Scripts\PSOut.log" -Append
  

• start the workflow in webviews - XMLHttpTransport error: 500 Internal Server Error trying to contact vCenter

  Hey all,.

  I use the latest version of vCO (5.5.2.1951762)

  I have a deployment workflow that works well at the start of the customer of vCO with vSphere Web Client.

  When I try to run the same workflow of a webview (on order as well as the default weboperator), I get the following error message as soon as I try to enlarge the vCenter in the tree to select an object for an attribute:

  : Error XMLHttpTransport: 500 Internal Server Error(type: error) "err".

  
  

  I also tried some other workflows, which generate drop down menus for the selection of the model with a set of predefined objects VC:VirtualMachine. As soon as I start the workflow, I get the same error.

  It doesn't matter whether the workflow runs as dialogue or not.
  

  
  
  So basically vCO doesn't seem to be able to browse the inventory of server vCenter or something.

  Tried to run the workflow with normal users as well as users who belong to the group admin vCO.

  Attached /var/log/vmware/vco/app-server/server.log log file.

  Any idea?

• Start a workflow context VmFolder

  Hey,.

  I created a workflow customized to deploy virtual machines and allowed him as an action context for Clusters, the VmFolders and data warehouses.

  When I run the workflow in the client vSphere on a Cluster, the Cluster-input parameter is on the cluster where I ran the context menu. It goes the same for the data store.

  Only when I start the workflow by right-clicking a VmFolder, the parameter with the type VC:VmFolder does not get filled.

  No idea why? Is this a bug?

  Thank you

  Tim

  Hi Tim,.

  Yes, it's a bug (or, to be precise, not fully implemented implementation of features). I fixed it a week ago. The fix will be included in future releases - 6.0 and 5.5U3.

• 'Command' in vCenter alarm

  Hi all

  We are recently receving bunch of vCPU alerts. We want to take these courses of the time period. So, I want to save the info to a database alert.

  I came to know the "run command" in vCenter alarm, which is great. I am able to run the powershell script example using that.

  I wonder if someone can help me on passing the parameters (green, red, metric, vCenterServer name etc.) script powershell is on my vCenterServer. I don't know that there should be a way. Any thoughts or ideas?

  My goal is to send the alarm information to the powershell script and then insert these data in databases so that we can have a story and that you can query easily.

  Thus, whenever there is a generated vCPU alert, powershell script will be executed and insert database values.

  Please let me know if there is a better way to do it.

  Thanks in advance,

  Rajesh.

  I think that the reasoning behind this folderpath and set the AppData environment variables is explained by Carter in step 1.

  These alarm scripts will run under the account of the vCenter Service service, and does not the vCenter uses environment variables.

  The non-existent folder is just a new folder you have to create yourself.

  Can you try to add a Start-Transcript (beginning of the script) and Stop-Transcript (end of the script) to your script?

  This will give you a log of what the script does.

• vCenter alarms & SNMP Trap

  Gang-

  I try to get my vCenter alarms to send traps SNMP for SNMP Manager/receiver so we can automatically open the service tickets based on certain types of vCenter alarms.  I have loaded MIB and OID translate for VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIBs.

  Everything goes well and using the free utility TrapReceiver I'm able to test receive interrupts.

  Here's my problem...

  I don't know how vCenter is differentiate the name of alarm vCenter in trap data.  Some vCenter alarms/traps, I want my ticket system to open lower or higher priority tickets, so I need to figure out how vCenter translated the alarm at the "vmwVpxdObjValue" into the trap.  Unfortunately I can't find any information on how to translate this value and I don't want to wait for all my events to trigger production, just to get a sample, so I don't know what to expect.

  Any ideas?

  VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIB

  vpxdAlarmInfo

  notification

  OID - 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.3.0.203

  Thank you

  Well shoot - that isn't quite right either.

  Seems that if it is a fault of the alarm system, the TRAP will leverage the value of $alarm.extensiondata.info.systemname as the beginning of the vmwVpxdObjectValue data.

  If it is a user/custom alarm, it seems to refer to the value of $alarm.extensiondata.info.name.

  I have to have a script that includes both.

• Curl call to start the workflow with the Type of table / Composite

  Hello I'm trying to start a workflow with an array type / Composite.

  I'm using curl to make the call and post fields look like this when you send just a string:

  'value ':

  {

  "chain": {"value": "test"}

  },

  "type": "string",.

  "name':"vm. "

• That starts a workflow?

  Hello
  
  We want to determine what events or user's activities to start workflows. This question can be interpreted in many ways, so for example, what form button causes workflow POAPPRV to start? We would like to determine for a long list of workflow that gave me.
  
  Is it possible to determine this?
  
  Thank you

  The workflow engine API that start the workflow can be found below.

  1 wf_engine. StartProcess()
  The syntax is less than
  StartProcess procedure
  (itemtype in varchar2,
  ItemKey in varchar2);

  ItemType is the name of the workflow that you listed for example: POAPPRV.

  2 wf_engine. LaunchProcess()
  The syntax is less than

  procedure LaunchProcess
  (itemtype in varchar2,
  ItemKey in varchar2,
  process in varchar2 default ",
  Take in varchar2 default ",
  owner in varchar2 default ");

  ItemType is the name of the workflow that you listed for example: POAPPRV.

  You can learn about events that will launch the workflow listed as follows.
  In fact the event subscriber that has the type of action as "Send the event message to a workflow process" will launch the workflow.
  You can find the subscription to events that will launch the workflow using query below
  Select * from wf_active_subscriptions_v where wf_process_type = 'WFERROR.
  wf_process_type - is the name of the process that will be launched

  You should run this query for each of the elements of the workflow

• Action Script code to restart the application air at regular intervals

  I hope that someone more versed in the action script 3 for air can help me!

  who's going to restart the application after a certain period of time (say 5 minutes), if it has not interacted with that is the screen has not affected?

  I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this

  You can call a function when the idle time is 5 minutes and function reset everything that is appropriate for your application:

  var fiveMin:int = 5 * 60 * 1000;

  var: timer = new Timer(fiveMin,0);

  timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, resetAppF);

  Timer.Start ();

  this.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, resetTimerF);

  function resetTimerF(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  Timer.Reset ();

  Timer.Start ();

  }

  function resetAppF(e:TimerEvent):void {}

  do all reset your app

  }
