Linux Turns 25 years old today. Live long and prosper.

linux

Linux will turn 25 years old on August 25, the day Linus Torvalds sent out his fateful message asking for help with a new operating system. “I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things),” he wrote in the comp.os.minix message board. And the rest, as they say, is history

IBM Verse, SmartCloud Notes web, and Microsoft Internet Explorer

From an IBM email received today:

As we first advised in December of 2015, Microsoft has confirmed they no longer support versions of Internet Explorer® older than the current version (Microsoft Internet Explorer® 11). We continue to allow access to our services for these non-supported versions, but effective September 24, 2016, an anticipated update to our Verse and SmartCloud Notes web applications will cause users accessing the service with un-supported browsers (versions previous to Internet Explorer® 11) to encounter issues such a missing controls (reply, forward, or other formatting tools) and other functional issues.

We encourage our clients to take immediate action by notifying their users and assisting any who use legacy versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer® to upgrade immediately.

Restart VM Host using command line

One VM Server does not work today and the VMWare vSphere client was not an option form me today. Several restrictions including bad internet connection using my cellphone.

The solution was using ssh to VMWare host an then using the command line to power off and then power on the VM.

List the inventory ID of the virtual machine with the command:
vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms |grep <vm name>

Note: The first column of the output shows the vmid.
Check the power state of the virtual machine with the command:
vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate <vmid>
Power-on the virtual machine with the command:
vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on <vmid>

IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5 CF12 removes the Apache Axis library from the classpath

Due to security vulnerabilities in the Apache Axis V1.x libraries, IBM is removing the Axis JAR file from IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5 effective with Cumulative Fix 12. There is no product code that uses this library, but it has been on the classpath since the initial 8.5.0.0 release.
The specific JAR to be removed is “axis.jar.”

The only exposure here is the chance that custom code, in either a custom theme or a custom portlet, would be using classes from this library. If there is no custom code in your Portal installation that is using these classes, then you will have no problems. If there is custom code in your Portal installation that is using these classes, then you will see ClassNotFoundException in the log files and will see some functional problems with that code.

How to reset the seqNum for SmartCloud Integration Server

Today i am working on a customer (after migrating 5000 users from Exchange), and i try to submit another file to integration server. Integration Server is an option to modify users on SmartCloud using text files. The file name must be <contract>_PRV_seqNum.csv

I created several TDI Assembly lines and i am using UNIX epoch time as seqNum. When submit a file i got an error “This sequence number must be greater than xxx.” I found that the customer submit a file using another kind of sequence, so i need to reset the seqNum.

How i do that? Just send a file with <contract>_PRV_9223372036854775807.csv.

After the number 9223372036854775807 the integration server reset the counter and the epoch as a sequence number works again.
