configuration management Questions

When I navigate to http://inwpiccm02:8080/harweb I get the following error:
Can't get hDB from pool. Check your 'harweb.cfg' and restart your servlet server.<br>java.lang.NullPointerException

SCM Version: r12.1.3

$JAVA_HOME:C:\Program Files\Java\jre7

Error log:
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6 is not supported by this driver. Use the sqljdbc4.jar class library, which provides support for JDBC 4.0.

I am sure I am using the correct db credentials.

Any ideas? THanks

We use Synergy 7.1 on Windows PC.

Do you know if there is a tool to merge word documents (parallel versions) within Synergy ? (msword supertype is binary)

Thank you for your help !

Can somebody tell me who uses Harvest? What corporations? I know AT&T, K-Mart use it.

Thanks!

New synergy 7.1 db created for testing, we created custom Process and Process rules based on Synergy's default Process/Process rules (valid and working in other production databases). Now, if I want to create a new project, then I am not able to select any purpose (It shows blank), the message displayed is "No valid purposes for this release", but when I find Process/Process rules, everything is displayed correctly. Even in the Releases, the purposes are correctly set and visible. The problem occurs when I try to create the project.

Please suggest what might be the problem !

We have an environment made of of Web Servers (Windows 2003). We use something called "provisioning" to populate a farm of web servers that are used by the customer/user.

In my promotion process, we have the normal types of environments we are all used to have: development, QA (testing environment), and a production environment... with some others environments like a training environment and a production (duplicate) environment... (plus of course, a backup environment. All the latter environments are (and should be) equaled to production.

As CM, I am responsible for promoting "TESTED" code to the production environment. Previously (before having the provisioning software) I used to manually promote code to 10 to 15 web servers. Now, I all I have access to is 1 server that is used as a staging server. I promote code to it, and the systems people will create an image of the box, and then populate the Production environment using the provisional software to push it.

The problem I have is that I am unable to go into those systems that are being populated to perform audits, or just to verify code is there and verify things don't change. It's like I have lost control. All I have access to is the staging server.

This is all NEW to us. We are just trying to follow NIST requirements and the like. So, maybe this has just gone a little too far. I myself believe that the only people that should have access to these systems are the System folks and CM. But they don't think CM needs to go in there.

What is the consensus out there in the real world (I say real world because I work for DOL)? In my experience, CM should be able to know and manage the Production Baseline which includes all systems. As it currently is I don't know what is on those systems...

Can someone share some ideas? Am I seeking to be a "control" freak? LOL!!!

I am running a query that returns multiple rows using HSQL. I only want the most current row so I added a group by statement and a MAX statement for the date/time. In problem resolution I have found that the group by is working but the MAX statement is giving me an error. Any ideas?

Query below

select harenvironment.environmentname,
harstate.statename,
harpackage.packagename,
harallusers.username,
harallusers.realname,
haritems.itemobjid,
haritems.itemname,
harpathfullname.pathfullname,
max(harversions.creationtime)

Inner Join harpathfullname

The cost of Rational ClearCase licensing combined with the complexities of UCM and MultiSite have forced us to look at alternative tools. We have five locations over 3 continents with a mix of UCM, base ClearCase, and MultiSite implementations. Through discussions with CM folks at our sibling subsidiary companies we have narrowed the options to SVN or Perforce.

Could somebody please give their opinions on how these tools stack up against ClearCase?

I was after some feedback on how far the CMDB concept has been adopted in the earlier stages of the product/system/programe/project lifecycle, i.e. between the initial Bid Stage, through Requirements, Analysis, Design, Development, Integration, Test, to say into a definitive media library (DML or DSL) prior to delivery to the Operational environment.

I would like to know whether there are any organisations out there trying to implement this and if so on which tools and perhaps how far/well this has been achieved.

I am not interested at the moment in knowing what is happening in the operational phases of the lifecycle because I know there is CMDB coverage there.

I have performance problem with ClearCase over VPN.

I don't see problem with dynamic views on AIX. However, rebase/deliver for snapshot views on windows over VPN is extremely slow.

I would be interested in hearing if anyone's having the same issue and what are the solution.

Currently we are using cleracase version 8.

I am getting a network connection lost error during the rebase for windows snapshot view. It resumed and said rebase completed.

However, there some files were not updated with the latest change. When the developer try to rebase recommended again, it says currently it's up-to-date.

How to bring the lost changes or force rebase again?
