We need to confirm that ipdiscover works when the smeserver is the forced client.

There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!

==ipdiscover bug==
 +
===ipdiscover on SME===
 +
IpDiscover is not working on SME. Please use another agent to ipdiscover your networks at the moment.
  
−
I Tried the following:
+
I've opened a [http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5684#p5684 thread] on OCS forum.
−
ipdiscover eth0 10
 
−
{{Note box|''Usage : ipdiscover [iface name] [latency in ms]''}}
 
  
−
Here's what I got on my server:
+
Let's hope the next version will come out soon!

This script used by the web interface do not seem to work too.

</IPDISCOVER>

Sounds like it's working for me... But IpDiscover discovers nothing when launched by SME OCS' Agent. There must be a problem here!
 
  
−
Windows Agent don't have this problem...
+
First thing to do is to change the password in this file...
 +
...
 +
my $dbhost = 'localhost';
 +
my $dbuser = 'ocs';
 +
my $dbpwd = 'ocs'; <==
 +
my $db = 'ocsweb';
 +
my $dbp = '3306';
 +
The password should be dynamical as this is a perl script. We need to use esmith::ConfigDB or something else to retrieve this value... I was unable to handle that.

Also a problem, the script cannot be executed. I try to add script handler for .pl but it didn't worked... Not sure about how this is working, if someone can help, please do!

==deletion bug==
 
−
When you delete a package, ocs complains, but it deletes the files anyway, document later

The only way I was able to reproduce an error on package deletion is when I refreshed the page (as files were already removed, I got an error)

Could you be more clear on this bug? How did it happened?

ERROR: Can't delete directory /opt/inventory/ocs/download/1194511477
+
A problem was found in the default imported database. This ends with some ''alter'' errors. This can be fixed by refreshing the web page.

I have documented that you can ignore the error, maybe i should say if you see the error you can ignore?

I took a look on ocsweb database with phpmyadmin before and after using install.php

I noticed that a lot of tables' ''engine type'' were ''MyISAM'' and after using install.php their type was ''InnoDB''!

==Upload size limit bug==
+
So I tried to export a new database (this time with extended parameters), but this new database don't import in ocsweb database: it ends with errors trying to create the 1st table!
−
Must document that on the Wiki:
 
−
Max allowed packet value is set to 50M with a custom-template by the RPM.
 
−
This should allow to upload comfortable package size.
 
  
−
I didn't test to upload such file size to confirm this is working as expected...
+
Help needed!
−
=> can we really upload files greater than 10MB?
 
−
=> if yes, what happens at 50.1MB (just curious lol)
 
−
=> impact of setting such large value on the server?
 
−
=> create a DB entry in ocs to set this value and improve the custom-template to allow dynamic changes? This can't be bad!  
 
−
=> lower this value maybe?

known bugs

There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!

ipdiscover bug

ipdiscover on SME

IpDiscover is not working on SME. Please use another agent to ipdiscover your networks at the moment.

I've opened a thread on OCS forum.

Let's hope the next version will come out soon!

ipdiscover-util.pl

This script used by the web interface do not seem to work too.

First thing to do is to change the password in this file... 

...
my $dbhost = 'localhost';
my $dbuser = 'ocs';
my $dbpwd = 'ocs'; <==
my $db = 'ocsweb';
my $dbp = '3306';

The password should be dynamical as this is a perl script. We need to use esmith::ConfigDB or something else to retrieve this value... I was unable to handle that.

Also a problem, the script cannot be executed. I try to add script handler for .pl but it didn't worked... Not sure about how this is working, if someone can help, please do!

www/ocs/install.php bugs

A problem was found in the default imported database. This ends with some alter errors. This can be fixed by refreshing the web page.

I took a look on ocsweb database with phpmyadmin before and after using install.php

I noticed that a lot of tables' engine type were MyISAM and after using install.php their type was InnoDB!

So I tried to export a new database (this time with extended parameters), but this new database don't import in ocsweb database: it ends with errors trying to create the 1st table!

Help needed!

Cool34000

wiki page

5.3.2 Deployment menu

there must be a lot of ways this could be used, why make everyone think of them themselves when it could be spelled out

this could be a new page, Application deployment

this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat

others can work on this cool34000 has done enough

Stefen

Here's the way I've always used OCS... First I import the standard ocsagent.exe in MySQL.

I don't like to install a service when it's not needed, so I use the standalone executable. I also don't use OCS deployment feature (I'm using GPOs for that)

@echo off
\\server\share\mydomain.com.exe /np /debug /tag:my_tag

That's all!

Of course, more can be done...

  • Install the Agent silently in a script
  • Use GPOs (deploy, install, update)
  • Create your own ocsagent.exe

People need to read the guide! It's well documented.

If someone can take some time to document that, it would be nice!
