USB connectivity software for Oracle - oracle

We are searching for USB connectivity software to connect with an Oracle database using Oracle Advanced Security Network Encryption algorithms.
We have a software package that requires a USB connection with handheld mobile devices to upload data from scanned activity. We are not able to connect via wireless, wireless telephony, or Bluetooth technology.
The software vendor provided a connection package developed by a third party vendor, that works on development databases, but not on production with network encryption activated. To date, neither the software company nor the third party vendor is able to provide a solution.
My question is: Does anyone know of software that can provide a USB connection between a mobile handheld device and an Oracle database with Network Encryption activated?
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Facing issue while trying to record a mobile native application using Loadrunner with VPN

I'm facing an issue while trying to record a mobile native application using Loadrunner (Remote application via Loadrunner proxy).
I am using a client provided laptop / mobile devices for testing.
Initially, I was not able to record the mobile app via LR proxy using the client's laptop, but I was able to do the recording using my personal laptop. After raising tickets and having multiple sessions with the helpdesk team, we figured out that we are able to record the mobile app by disabling the VPN on the client laptop, but fail when the VPN is enabled (as the IP address is being changed to the VPN network).
Disabling the VPN is against the client security policy and I don't even have the admin rights to disable it.
As suggested by the helpdesk team, I have tried installing pulse secure and connecting the mobile device to the VPN (so that the mobile and laptop would be under the same client network), but it failed to record.
Network team wouldn't work on the issue as it is not related to network elements (routers, switches and firewalls, etc.), but to the user end-point.
I am not able to do recording with Jmeter or capture traffic using Fiddler as well with the VPN being connected in the laptop. All of the mentioned tools were able to do the recording from my personal laptop.
We are now stuck without any option to proceed further.
Please comment if anyone has faced the issue or has insights on the next steps that I need to approach this.

Thingworx client for windows 10

I want to gather some information from a windows 10 machine over the internet using the thingworx platform.
Here's a scenario:
Admin logs into thingworx app
Exisiting or new computer (windows 10 ) is added (serial number computer)
Thingworx platform creates a thing based on a created template
User receives application key which will be entered on a client which is installed on the computer
Client is started based on event and sends data to thingworx platform
Communication is secured
Is there a best practice or even a client available / open source or Licence based which relieves the headache of security etc.?
Yes, alwaysOn is used mostly as web socket protocol for communication between devices & ThingWorx platform. Apart from these one case also use MQTT.
If you want to use for Demo/Academic Purpose then use Thingworx Academic Simulator. I have been using it for Testing many scenarios.

HPE mobile center server configuration

I need to install the HPE Mobile Center Connector on my local pc without any server just for a trial with UFT. can anyone advice what should i give in the Mobile center IP Address? since server port is by default: 8080
If you want to test mobile with UFT you need to have a mobile center server installed.
The Mobile Center Connector is not used by UFT, it's just a way to connect mobile devices to the MC server without physically connecting the device to the server machine. You should think of the connector as a way to extend the MC server. UFT connects to the server and can see all devices connected to the server (either physically or via connector) so if you don't have a server machine the connector has no meaning.
You can install the MC sever on a virtual machine if this helps.
You can install MC all in one which includes server + connector. It's supported for both Windows & Linux.
There is a trial version so you can test it with UFT.
If you want to try out Mobile testing with UFT, there is a free resource that you can use:
https://marketplace.microfocus.com/appdelivery/content/uft-mobile-add-in-for-local-device
More info from Micro Focus marketplace:
"This “add-in” acts as a connector between UFT and the mobile devices connected directly to the UFT machine. In just a few steps, UFT users can start designing and running mobile app and web tests on one local mobile device at a time without purchasing an additional license. Whether you work in Retail, Telecom, Finance, or other adjacent industries, the UFT Mobile Add-in for Local Devices is a great fit for testers who need to:
Execute their omnichannel content strategy using the same script for desktop and mobile web content
Support mobile testing in organisations that do not have a lab management solution in place
Run mobile tests without needing a new tool for mobile only"

Check if Firefox OS is connected to WiFi for privileged apps

Is there a way for a privileged Firefox OS app to detect if the WiFi is connected to a network? I am aware of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Settings but that API is only for certified apps. All I need to do is detect whether the phone is connected to a network or is not connected.
You need to use the Network Info API, which provides you with values about the bandwidth (Mb/s estimate) and if the current connection is metered (mobile data vs Wifi).
metered should be enough to tell if the user is on wifi. There is no need to read the Settings! This API is even accessible for web apps.
Check the window.navigator.onLine property

Detect name of computer that a WP7 is connected to via the USB cable

From this question I know it is possible to send data from a WP7 to the computer is connected via WCF service. I have a solution set up to this and it works quite well. The only problem is I must either hard code the name of the host computer or allow the user to configure it on the device themselves.
I would prefer to have this happen automatically, so is there a way to detect the name of the computer that the WP7 is connected to.
No, there is no way to query information about the host machine from within your app.
There would be a large potential security hole if an app could query information about the PC it was connected to.
