Simple JNDI not working with Parallels VM - pentaho

We use JNDI connections for all of our jobs.
I recently upgraded to a new Macbook pro and now, none of my jobs/transformations using JNDI work. All fail with a "No suitable driver found" error.
This is really weird since the /lib subdirectory has the necessary JAR files. I put them there. I made sure my jdbc.properties file is correctly located in /Volumes/C/data-integration-5.3/simple-jndi.
Even after I copied the simple-jndi directory to /Volumes/C/ and to /Volumes/C/.pentaho, the problem remains. "No suitable driver found" error.
The problem exists with multiple JDBC drivers (Oracle, MySQL and Postgres), not just one. Where should the simple-jndi directory be located???
My laptop runs OS X Yosemite with Parallels software for MS Windows 7 pro emulation.

Make sure you have ojdbc7.jar accessible.

Solved it.
My VM user id was not a domain user id . Only local. After my helpdesk guy fixed it, I am now able to use JNDI without problem.
Weird but it works.

Can I use the Remote Platform option in Netbeans from Windows 10?

I am trying to use my computer with windows 10 installed so that I can build and compile jar files but test them remotely on my raspberry pi4 down the hall. This method worked fine when I was using a linux (Ubuntu) laptop, but unfortunately...the laptop broke, and now I'm installing linux on another computer...and in the meantime, I would like to continue working. I have Apache Netbeans 12.3, java version 16, and here are the specifics of what is happening: I can go into manage platforms, I can set up a remote platform, and can test it...and the connection tests out successfully. However, when I go to File->ProjectProperties and select Categories->Run, in the drop-down box where you can usually select the platforms you have established....there are no options--it just offers Project Platform. Maybe it's a windows thing? A priviledge thing? I can't find the answer...thanks in advance.
This is the screen where the problem exists. The arrow points towards the drop down menu that won't drop down and acts like no other Platform has been defined.
By downgrading the JDK to JDK11, I was able to select newly existing Remote Platforms in Netbeans in the File->ProjectProperties window, under the Run category, as detailed in the picture above.

Pentaho 5: Repository connection window not showing up

I am able to open a Pentaho version 5 Spoon session on my new laptop but when I clicked on Tools -> Repository -> Connect, nothing comes up (no connection window).
However, I am using the same executable on my old laptop and there its working without any issues. I have also downloaded a fresh executable of version 5 on my new laptop but it didn't work as well. I am wondering what could be causing this.
Any pointers will be very helpful.
Thanks.
As suggested by #Working Hard.. in the comments, I installed jdk8 (I was using jdk10 earlier) and created a new environment variable PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME as explained in the below URL and added the path accordingly.

Apache Tomcat 8.5 . Error: Service terminated with service specific error incorrect function

i have installed apache tomcat 8.5 one month ago with java 1.8 on Windows Server 2008 and it works ok.
now the service is stopped and i'm not able to restart it from apache configuration or Windows Services . It is always stopped.
i got the following error: "service terminated with service specific error incorrect function".
ther error in Windows Event viewer does not saying nothing more:
even its details tab:
What can i do?
I was trying to install Apache Tomcat/8.5.31 as Windows service and i was also facing the same error.
For me what finally worked was following these steps. Go to Tomcat installation directory's bin folder. You will see two EXEs (tomcat8.exe and tomcat8w.exe). tomcat8w.exe is a GUI application for monitoring and configuring Tomcat services. Double-click it and then go to Java tab
1) Enable the check box for Use default
2) In Java Classpath: section, specify the path to bootstrap.jar and tomcat-juli.jar. These should be present in your tomcat installation's bin directory itself:
<path_to_tomcat_installation>\bin\bootstrap.jar;<path_to_tomcat_installation>\bin\tomcat-juli.jar
To get more help, you may check the log at the following location provided you installed your Tomcat as Windows service using default LogPath option as described in the documentation: %SystemRoot%\System32\LogFiles\Apache
UPDATE: In another recent installation, i noticed that despite having configuration settings exactly similar to another working setup, i was still getting Incorrect function error under System log in Event Viewer. This time, i had to uncheck the Use default option and had to explicitly provide path to jvm.dll as shown below:
Java Classpath setting was still required as explained above.
Currently I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter running Tomcat 9 & had the same problem. This happened after I ran Windows updates & restarted the Server.
Error messages below. (The blanked out text is my private data.)
Error showed when attempting to start the service.
Error in System Event Log
The following steps fixed the issue...
Navigate to your tomcat9w.exe Location: \Tomcat9\bin\
Right click your tomcat9w.exe and select Run as administrator.
Select the Java tab. Select Use default, Apply, & OK
Start your service.
Note: I unchecked the "Use default" box after I was able to get the service running correctly. Because I wanted to retain my existing configuration. Going forward the service has continued to work correctly.
Hope this helps!
I was also facing some issue with Tomcat 9 and Java 13 (tried all previously mentioned solutions but nothing worked). When I downgraded it to Java 11 and Pointed the jvm.dll from JDK 11 my issue got fixed (or Use Default if JAVA_HOME is set to Java 11).
In my case the only way I could get it to work, was to go to the "Startup" tab and change "Mode" from "JVM" to "Java". After that, it started fine and was able to confirm that by visiting the localhost.
(Definitely not an expert)
I fixed this issue by (re)installing Java. I was using the Java SDK downloaded by IntelliJ. Although I was able to direct Tomcat to that download during installation, it returned this "error service terminated" message at runtime. Instead I installed Java SDK directly from Oracle, Tomcat found the installation immediately during installation (I didn't need to point it), and this error disappeared.
It's possible the Java installation by IntelliJ was incomplete somehow and is the underlying cause of the problem, but I am definitely not an expert.
I fixed the issue by reinstalling Tomcat:
Search the Command Prompt icon
Right-click on it
Select Run as administrator
Change the folder to the bin folder of Tomcat
Execute appserver uninstall
Execute appserver install
It solved my problem.
I followed the below steps to fix the the above issue. it may help if someone still face the same.
Step 1. opened the installation directory : tomcat9w.exe Location: \Tomcat9\bin\
Step 2. Browsed the Jvm.dll path under "Java Tab" in Tomcat where it has installed
Step 3. Run the service but still faced same.
Step 4. then, Opened ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\bin>startup.bat --> entered.
Finally it got fixed .

Geny motion failed to import OVA

Suddenly, i lost all Geny motion emulators (maybe after upgrading to Geny motion 2.2, not sure) and when ever i download a new virtual machine or emulator i get the "failed to import OVA" error and i can't use the virtual machines i downloaded at all in Geny motion, however they work in virtual box!
and i have cleared the cache and deleted old OVAs and re-downloaded other emulators again and again, but it's no use!
any clue what's going on?
is there a way to re-import emulators i already downloaded by Geny motion to Geny motion again instead of keeping downloading new emulators and getting the same error?
I solved the problem for myself. In my case, I had the same problem after defragmenting my computer. Deleting the ova and deploying files did not work (neither did reinstalling help). Solved it by clearing the cache in the app itself:
Settings>Misc>Cache Usage>Clear Cache
Try to see if that helps. If it doesn't then I can't help.
So I upgraded to the latest version of Genymotion 2.6.0. Tried to install the new Virtual Devices and I got the same error.
I tried to clear the cache as suggested above but it didn't help instead it removed the downloaded .ova file of the device and I had to download again.
I checked for update on VirtualBox and it shows that you're on the latest build. I checked the version and it showed 4.2.x.
Checked the latest version on the site and damn... It was version 5.0 available on the website.
Upgraded the VirtualBox to the latest 5.0 and here you go... Everything was back in place and my Genymotion Virtual Device was imported and is running fine.
So do check the versions of VirtualBox and see if it is the latest available on the website.
Deleting the Genymotion cached .ova file, deleting the corrupted deployed image, redownloading the image, and reinstalling it addressed the issue for me.
Note that the deployed images are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/deployed
the cached ova files are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/ova
this link : Unable to create Genymotion Virtual Device
Update :
Settings>Misc>Cache Usage>Clear Cache
Try to upgrade VirtualBox to the latest release, this solved the problem for me.
UPDATE
Some VirtualBox version are not compatibles with genymotion: review FAQ Genymotions in https://www.genymotion.com/help/desktop/faq/#compatible-virtualbox-versions
If you see the log file of Genimotions you'll find this:
VBoxManage.exe: error: 'Linux_64' is not a valid Guest OS type
The problem is the version of Virtual Box, I thought I had the last version (4.2) because virtual box said me that it was the lastest version, but it wasn't true: The last version actually is 5.0.20
I've installed the last version (5.0.20), and ova is ok
If you're using Windows:
The folder left after uninstallation is located at:
C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Local\Genymobile\Genymotion\
Before proceeding, in the OVA folder, save the ova files in there if you do not want to redownload the images all over again.
Clear the Genymotion cache, and then uninstall Genymotion (and Oracle VBOX if needed)
Remove the whole Genymotion folder in the above path
Reinstall genymotion and VirtualBox
Copy back the ova files into the ova folder.
Re-add the virtual device accordingly (the ova files name should be identifiable easily enough)
Genymotion will then verify the integrity of the stuffs and should now works fine.
I just Run Genymotion with Administrator right (run as Administrator)! It work perfect!
I had the same issue and also tried deleting the Genymotion cached .ova file and old images but to no avail.
To get my Genymotion working again in my environment I completely uninstalled VirtualBox and Genymotion using the TrashMe app to ensure no trace was left on my system. You can achieve the same result with the free app App Cleaner.
I then completely deleted the ~/.Genymobile directory as this seems to get left behind when deleting/uninstalling Genymotion. I think this is the only thing I did differently this time.
I then re-downloaded the latest versions of VirtualBox and Genymotion and installed them in that order. (Versions at time of writing: VB - 4.3.13 r93733 / GM - 2.2.2)
I then launched Genymotion, connected to my account, added a new device and I am now back up and running.
Hopefully that helps..
I encountered this error when my hard drive was almost full. It looked like it had enough space for the emulator, but Genymotion still failed with failed to import eva
Solved by freeing up a couple Gigs on disk.
Updating VirtualBox to the latest version, Worked for me
I deleted all the virtual devices and cleared Cache. After that I added the device again. Worked for me.
I had the same problem, I fixed it with uninstalling, reinstalling and running Gennymotion with Admin rights. Make sure you not upgrade Oracle VM and use the one you installed with Genymotion. Also at installing Genymotion make sure you reinstall VM too. It should work, I lost my devices too and this method only solve the OVA problem. If you run the virtual device and get an error, reboot computer, if you didn't do after installing Oracle VM. Hope it helped.
it turns for me I restored the system from the backup
Click geny settings->virtualbox tab, have to correct the folder to keep the VM
I had deleted /Users//.Genymobile/ directory and Genimotion started work fine
make sure you choose the correct android sdk
in Linux
just delete
home/user/.config/Genymobile/Genymotion.conf
and it's work
I downloaded ova that match with version i want (example android 5)

then add ova file to genymotion

Can't launch JBoss7 from Eclipse Indigo

I can't figure out where I am going wrong. I have Eclipse Indigo, JBoss 7.1, JBoss Tools installed. I have this configuration working on my Windows7 64-bit system. I am attempting to set up a co-worker's Windows XP 32-bit machine with the same configuration but am not able to get the server to launch. I have configured the server but when I attempt to start the server, I get an error indicating that it was unable to start the server but there is no specific error listed.
I am able to start JBoss from the command prompt using the standalone.bat file.
I am able to configure the standalone.xml file from within Eclipse. I have confirmed this by checking the file in the standalone/configuration directory.
When I attempt to publish the project from within Eclipse, it does not publish.
Nothing gets written to server.log
The startup parameters match what I have on my computer.
I can't figure out what I am missing. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Edit:
I have done some more checking. I am able to publish to the server and I am able to start the server (with the published application) fine from the command prompt. That part works. When I attempt to start the server from within Eclipse it gives me "Server JBoss 7.1 Runtime Server failed to start." It never writes anything to the console tab in Eclipse either so I can't tell why it is failing to start.
Also in the Servers tab, there is an entry called "Server Details". When I expand that entry, it says "Not Connected".
The answer to my problem is that Eclipse had be configured to use the java JDK, not the JRE. As soon as I switched over to use the JDK it started working fine. For some reason JBoss will start under 64-bit windows with the JRE but under 32-bit you need to use the JDK. I found the answer here: https://community.jboss.org/thread/169097
