I would like to have two separate Parse servers (configured with a different app ID) connect to the same mongodb, so they can see the same set of users, so that I can create 2 different apps that share the same userbase.
Is this something Parse would support? Are there any expected conflicts or config caveats? I was unable to find info about this on Parse's github..
thanks
There's nothing to do, besides setting the database URL option to the same value on both servers, and that your database is accessible from both servers.
I'm not sure why you would need two different applicationId's as you want the same data and likely, logic running on both apps.
No, Parse Server does not support sharing classes between applications.
What you could do is have one of the instances or maybe a third one handle authentication and store your user information. I am pretty sure this would mean you will have to manually set user info on your requests and objects to save on the other two instances.
Another option is for each of the instances have an afterSave hook on the user class that saves and updates the info at the other instance. This seems easier to do and maintain.
I would choose the second option.

My company decided to migrate to the Oracle Fusion Middleware, and we are starting to use the Oracle Webcenter components, especially the WCC (v11.1).
We can access our documents via 2 different entry points :
http://server:port_1/wcc
http://server:port_2/cs (and this URL is also accessed via RIDC)
The GUI are very different from one app to the other, but the main functionalities seem to be the same on both of them : I can browse, view, download stored documents, I have access to the metadata, I can do an advanced search or upload a file...
Why does Oracle provide 2 webapps to manage the content ? Why are these URLs on 2 different Weblogic servers (or domains) ? Should we use one address rather than the other ?
Thank you.
They are simply two different GUIs. Some functionality is available in one that may not be available in the other.
Use whatever interface best fits your needs (including what user's may prefer).
/cs/ is for the native (original) UI.
/wcc/ is for the new(ish) ADF WebUI. Also see this blog post.
Let me explain in more detail:
1st: I'm running endeca 3.1, so Endeca Server here refers to 3.0's Data Domain.
I'm required to use an Endeca Server currently present on Endeca (Downloaded a Demo VM). All the info on it, including, groups, attributes and data, must be merged into out Endeca Server. (It can also be the other way around, i could merge my Endeca Server into this one.)
So far, i've tried to do the following:
1) Clone the Endeca Server
2) use the putCollection sconfig operation to create a collection on it with the same name i have on mine.
3) Load configurations using the LoadCollection & LoadAttributes graphs from OEID POC Template 3.1. I point to the new collection on the Configuration.xls file.
This is where i encounter an issue. The LoadAttributes graph gets a T/O message from the server's WS. Then the config WSDL becomes inaccesible for a while. I can't go beyond this point.
I've been able to load data into the collection, but i need to load the attributes first.
THanks in advance for your replies.

There are a few techniques.
Have you tried exporting the data domain and then importing it?
You can use the endeca-cmd tools to export to a file, and then import from that file. This would enable you to add 2 datastores into one server.
If you want to combine 2 datastores then that is a different question.
The simplest approach in 3.1 if the data collections are small. Extract then as CSV (via a data-table), convert to XLS and add them via self provisioning into separate collections within a single data store. If you are running in the VM this is potentially the easiest approach.
This can also be done using Integrator.
You don't need to load the attributes unless you are using multi-value types. You can call against the conversation web-service to extract data and then load it using 'bulk-load' I would not worry too much about creating the attributes unless this becomes essential due to their type or complexity. If you cannot call against the conversation web-service, then again extract as csv and load using Integrator.
I am new to this so forgive me for not understanding the lingo.
I have been using rackspace cloud control panel to build multiple virtual servers, i use them for maybe a couple of hours then i delete them. I need these servers to all have specific and unique names such as: "server1, server2, server3, etc." I also need them to have a specific password unlike the randomly generated password that is assigned by default.
I have been creating each individual server manually (based on an image that's set up) then I have to go back and reset the password andreboot all of them. Doing each one manually is a bit time consuming and I'm sure there is an easier way. Please help me figure this out.
I've been doing some searching but I haven't found anything too relevant to my problem on top of that I'm not too familiar with programming and such.
Basically what I'm looking to do is automatically create these servers with their appropriate names and passwords already built in from the start. I'm not sure if some sort of "API" is the answer, or if there's some sort of script that can be written, or both.
Any assistance is much appreciated.
thanks,
Chris
On my BizTalk server I use several different credentials to connect to internal and external systems. There is an upcoming task to change the passwords for a lot of systems and I'm searching for a solution to simplify this task on my BizTalk server.
Is there a way that I could adjust the File/FTP adapters to extract the information from an XML file so that I can change it only in the XML file and everything will be updated or is there an alternative that I could use such as PowerShell?
Did someone else had this task as well?
I rather don't want to create a custom adapter but if there is no alternative I will go for that one. Using dynamic credentials for the send port can be solved with Orchestration but I need this as well for the receive port.
You can export the bindings of all your applications. All the passwords for the FTP and File Adapter will be masked out with a series off * (asterisks).
You could then edit your binding down to just those ports you want to update, replace the masked out passwords with the correct passwords, and when you want the passwords changed, import them.
Unfortunately unless you have already prepared tokenised binding files the above is a manual effort.
I was going to recommend that you take a look at Enterprise Single Sign-On, but on second thoughts, I think you probably just need to 'bite the bullet' and make the change in the various Adapters.
ESSO would be beneficial if you have a single Adapter with multiple endpoints/credentials, but I infer from your question that isn't the case (i.e. you're not just using a single adapter). I also don't think re-writing the adapters to include functionality to read usernames/passwords from file is feasible IMHO - just changing the passwords would be much faster, by an order of weeks or months ;-)
One option that is available to you however, depending on which direction the adapter is being used: if you need to change credentials on Send Adapters, you should consider setting usernames/passwords at runtime via the various Adapter Property Schemas (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa560564.aspx for the FTP Adapter Properties for example). You could then easily create an encoding Send Pipeline Component that reads an Xml file containing credentials and updates the message context properties accordingly, the message would then be send with the appropriate credentials to the required endpoint.
There is also the option of using ESSO as your (encrypted) config store instead of Xml files / database etc. Richard Seroter has a really good post on this from way back in 2007 (its still perfectly valid tho.)
I have a mdb file hosted on my site http://www.simplyfy.co.in/db/dbfile.mdb. I am developing an application which will be running on multiple machines and will contact the mdb file via internet. I am not sure how do i go about it as building the connection string for an online connection. Any help?
You do not - not at all, not even a little bit, want to expose a .MDB file directly over the internet. You really, really do not want to do this.
There are two reasons and I'll start with second, even if it works - and since it needs to be able to create a .ldb file if its not read only I'm not sure it will - it is liable to be horribly slow. Multi-user MDB can be bad enough over a local network.
The other reason is security, assuming it works at all you're going to really struggle to make this even vaguely safe.
Broadly speaking what you need to do is to create a web service that runs on your site that provides an secured API that your client applications can use to access your database - this gives you two benefits: 1) its much more secure (you're not exposing webspace with write permissions) and 2) it gives you the ability to change the back end data store if required without affecting the clients. There are various possibilities for implementing this but it will depend on the tools you have/are comfortable with.
I think it is possible to access the same way that access a local file, simply using the URL as Data Source. That is, the connection string looks like:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;User ID=...;Data Source=http://www.simplyfy.co.in/db/dbfile.mdb;Mode=..., etc
