Pentaho - PAC (Pentaho Administration Console) last version - pentaho

Does anybody know what is the last version of PAC (Pentaho Administration Console)? I couldn't find the .start-pac.sh from new versions of Pentaho.

PAC no longer exists. Last version was 4.x, I believe. Since 5.0 onwards (most current version is 9.0), you access the admin features by choosing the Administration perspective from the user console (the standard web interface). Of course, you need admin privileges to have access to it.
Perspectives are chosen from the selector near the upper left corner of the window.

How install previous version of SAP HANA Client?

I have the latest SAP HANA Client version: 2.14, downloaded from there: https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#hanatools
But I want to download a previous one, the 2.8.
How can I do it?
Thanks in advance,
Agustin
The previous versions are available in the Software Downloads section (see below screenshot).
You must have a S-User (credentials linked to the SAP license granted to your company to access the Support Web site).
EDIT: older versions are not publicly available as explained by an SAP employee here in September 2022:
"if you need the complete SAP Client installation of a particular version from the history, then indeed you need to get it from SAP Marketplace using your S-user."
Here is the list of possible downloads in the SAP Support Web site (I selected the downloads for Windows X64):

How to get access to a TIWApplication from other computers

I am using Intraweb version 14.0.0 on C++Builder 10.2 Tokyo.
I have constructed a test application using TIWServerController and TIWApplication.
When I run the application it shows the controls on the web browser, but I am not being able to get access to the same application using another web browser window of the same kind.
How can I use IntraWeb to serve the same application to several users from different locations of the same local network ?
Thank you very much.
Jayme Jeffman
I have found the problem. The version of IntraWeb (14.00) which was added to C++Builder 10.2 Tokyo community edition does not work the same way as it does on the paid version which has the 14.2.10 attached to the paid edition of C++Builder.
I have asked to a collegue of mine who has the paid edition to build the same test application I have made and everything is now working fine. Including the port number that now is always the same set in the IWServerController instead of start each time with a new one.

How do you go from the Old Portal to the New Portal in Azure?

How do I navigate from the Old Azure Dashboard to the New Azure Dashboard?
SQL Azure has a new, default front-end user interface and an older version. I have been able to navigate to the older version UI but now I do not know how to get back to the newer version so that I can add some t-sql commands on my database.
This is how the older UI (the one I am stuck on) looks:
look at the bottom of your screenshot, the first hyperlink on the leftmost says: "Visit the Preview Portal"

Registry permissions problem

I need to install an application (SQL Server Denali, but this is irrelevant) and during the installation, I have a lot of problems with registry... a lot of pop-ups appear telling that i dont have permissions to modify that key of the registry.
I'm administration but seems that with some keys i dont have permission and i have to modify permissions manually. The problem is that there is a lot of registers giving problems.
What can I do? How can i add full control to all the keys of the registry?
I have Windows 7 64bits
Thanks
What's your OS on which you are trying to install?
I have seen security features on Windows 2008 and Windows 7 (which is good but can be annoying as seen by you on popups for permissions). Even though the local user is as administrator with which you are trying to install, on these systems its best to right click and choose "Run as Administrator"
Also you can choose to lower the security level on "user account control settings" (click on start menu button in Windows 7 / 2008) and in the search bar type uac, and lower the security to never notify and bring it back up after the installation.
Hope this helps...

System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7

I have a web site that I developed on Vista using Vb.net9. It makes a connection to Oracle. for the connection I use System.Data.OracleClient. It works fine on my machine, and our test server, but it does not work on the production server. We installed the Oracle Client 11 on the server. The error is System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7
We've tried, making a console app that opens the connection, connection runs fine, opens, displays a message and all is well there.
Then we make a simple web form, put it in the directory of the program, just a button, opens the connection, try..catch, grabs error, same error.
The console app was running under an Administrator, web site running under iwam. Is it possible that iwam has a different path?
I've run into this error dozens of times:
Cause
Security permissions were not properly set when the Oracle client was installed on Windows with NTFS. The result of this is that content of the ORACLE_HOME directory is not visible to Authenticated Users on the machine; this causes an error while the System.Data.OracleClient is communicating with the Oracle Connectivity software from ASP.NET using Authenticated User privileges.
Solution
To fix the problem you have to give the Authenticated Users group privilege to the Oracle Home directory.
Log on to Windows as a user with Administrator privileges.
Start Windows Explorer and navigate to the ORACLE_HOME folder.
Choose properties on the ORACLE_HOME folder.
Click the Security tab of the Properties window.
Click on Authenticated Users item in the Name list.
Un-check the Read and Execute box in the Permissions list under the Allow column.
Re-check the Read and Execute box under the Allow column.
Click the Advanced button and in the Permission Entries verify that Authenticated Users are listed with permission: Read & Execute, and Apply To: This folder, subfolders and files. If not, edit that line and make sure that Apply To drop-down box is set to This folder, subfolders and files. This should already be set properly but it is important that you verify it.
Click the OK button until you close out all of the security properties windows. The cursor may present the hour glass for a few seconds as it applies the permissions you just changed to all subfolders and files.
Reboot, to assure that the changes have taken effect.
Try your application again.
The author of this post (now deleted post) suggests checking your C:\Windows\System32 folder to make sure that the oci.dll exists there. Copying in the file from the Oracle home directory solved this problem for me.
Update 1: It is possible for different users to have different path. But its not the likely problem here. There is more chance that the user that the iwam user doesn't have permission to the oracle client directory.
Update 0: Its suppose to work. Check for environment variable ( That are needed to find the oracle client and tnsnames.ora ). Also, Maybe you have a 32/64 bit issues. Also, consider using the Oracle Data Provider for .NET ( search for odp.net)
Oracle Client version 11 cannot connect to 8i databases. You will need a client in version 10 at most.
When we first moved over to Vista with Oracle 10g, we experienced this issue when we installed the Oracle client on our Vista boxes, even when we were running with admin privileges during install.
Oracle brought out a new version of the 10g client (10.2.0.3) that was Vista compatible.
I do believe that this was after 11g was released, so it is possible that there is a 'Vista compatible' version for 11g also.
Why not use this: dotConnect for Oracle (formerly known as OraDirect .NET)?
It can be configured to not require an Oracle Client at all.
We have been using this in both Windows Services and ASP.NET Web Services and it works like a charm.
For me, the issue was some plugin in my Visual Studio started forcing my application into x64 64bit mode, so the Oracle driver wasn't being found as I had Oracle 32bit installed.
So if you are having this issue, try running Visual Studio in safemode (devenv /safemode).
I could find that it was looking in SYSWOW64 for the ic.dll file by using the ProcMon app by SysInternals/Microsoft.
Update: For me it was the Telerik JustTrace product that was causing the issue, it was probably hooking in and affecting the runtime version somehow to do tracing.
Update2: It's not just JustTrace causing an issue, JustMock is causing the same processor mode issue. JustMock is easier to fix though: Click JustMock-> Disable Profiler and then my web app's oracle driver runs in the correct CPU mode. This might be fixed by Telerik in the future.
