As part of an infrastructure upgrade we are Upgrading our instance of UCM clearcase and moving to new servers.
We currently have an Admin PVOB and all the project PVOBS are linked to the Admin Pvob and the Vobs linked to their PVOB.
When moving to the new VOB server will this hierarchy have to be moved big bang to ensure the admin pvob is consistent or could some sort of phased migration approach be used. Does anyone have a recommended approach?
You should be able to move the PVob first, stating with the Admin one.
(provided both servers are up, and the second one is accessible from the first one)
The official documentation only mentions:
If you use UCM and are moving a PVOB and one or more component VOBs, move the PVOB first, and then move the component VOBs.
From there, you should follow "Moving Vob".
The other approach is to use (for older ClearCase 7.x) Multisite to move/replicate vobs/pvobs.

while setting up a basic 1 x NGINX load-balancer in front of 2 backends, I ended up in what it is clear to me to be a bug: the cron of this Certified App cannot be edited:
As you can see, in this particular App the cron file is owned by root:root and doesn't have the extended attribute (the plus on the right of permissions) necessary for the file to be edited also by the logged in user (nginx in this case).
All other certified apps allow instead the main login user to have crontabs, even though I found the permissions of each file vary a lot.
I've stumbled on https://github.com/jelastic/jem/blob/master/etc/jelastic/export.conf and it seems the file to go for proposing a bugfix, but it's last update if Aug-2016, so I guess Jelastic had closed much of its source code.
How can we contribute to Certified App source code?
indeed it is a bug as cron file of nginx user isn't editable in a balancer template, by design in has to be.
As for exports.conf - this file left for backwards comparability, but no more used.
The problem will be definitely fixed in latest templates, as for existing containers - we would like to apply a patch to fix them, if you provide us more details about hosting service provider you are using - we will help with that.
As for contribution to certified templates, all the images are publicly available on Docker Hub, you can create your own version of template based on existing one if you build a docker image and in your Dockerfile you specify
"from jelastic/nginxbalancer" as a base, then you can do any modifications to the filesystem. Next step will be just to replace existing balancer with your custom one.
Anyway, let's start with fix of existing containers.
Many thanks for finding out the bug!
What creates the profiles under {install_dir}/IBM/WebSphere/Appserver/profiles
I'm working on RHEL. Installed WAS 7 and WebSphere Commerce. All of this is scripted given to me by others.
At some point a folder gets created under profiles. However, I must have done something to mess this up, because on subsequent attempts to repeat this on new servers the folder doesn't get created.
WebSphere application server profiles are created and managed either using IBM Profile Management Tool (PMT) GUI or the command line version, manageProfiles in the bin dir. More general infomation about profiles can be found in this IBM KnowledgeCenter topic.
Found the answer. This is WAS meets Commerce. So the WAS "profile" gets created when Commerce creates what it calls an "instance". On my system, this is performed within the script:
{scripts}/IBM_WCS/instance_Creation.sh
Whether that comes from the vendor or is an invention of my predecessor, I have no idea. But once I got that to run, the profile appeared.
We have a need to amalgamate 2 clearcase servers with everything then residing on one of them.
Clearcase Version 7.1.2.6 FL5 & Schema 54
Both instances have their own Admin PVOB.
How do we move and amalgamate the PVOBS or reestablish the correct links once the vobs are moved?
Is this possible?
It depends if the servers have the same architecture or not.
The general idea is to follow the Administration Guide (for CC 7.1.2) describing how to move VOB (and PVob) from one server to another.
The different scenario are described here.
I want to migrate the data from one Plone instance to another. I am new to Plone.
Any URLs or steps for migration are really appreciated.
When you want to move a complete instance, you need to copy over the same data as you would back up.
That means you'll need to copy over:
The Data.fs object storage file
The blobstorage directory
All your customizations and installed packages, beyond Plone.
See the Plone FAQ and Backing up (and restoring) a Plone instance.
We are looking to create a test TFS 2010 server based on our live instance.
One method which has been suggested is to clone the Team Project Collection (TPC) onto to another server - as detailed in this existing answer but I think there are a few additional steps?
In order to get the cloned TPC's GUID reset, I take it we would have to first reattach the cloned TPC in the admin console on the original server then detach, move and reattach on to test Server/TFS instance.
We are not running Sharepoint/WSS but would there be additional config work required on the test server with SSRS - in order for new projects to be created against the cloned TPC?
Are there additional using diffrent AD accounts for services or can all of that be resolved within the admin console on the new server?
Both servers will running on VMWare and on the same domain but different AD accounts would be used on the two servers to help prevent any unwanted interactions between the TFS instances.
I will recommended convert your TFS to virtual environment P2V using SCVMM, see this article,
