| − | Sounds like it's working for me... But IpDiscover discovers nothing when launched by SME OCS' Agent. There must be a problem here!

| − | When you delete a package, ocs complains, but it deletes the files anyway, document later
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | Stefen
| + | 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! |

| |
| − | 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?

| | ==www/ocs/install.php bugs== | | ==www/ocs/install.php bugs== |
| − | ''ocsagent.exe'' is not needed if you plan to use the Agent as a service... | + | A problem was found in the default imported database. This ends with some ''alter'' errors. This can be fixed by refreshing the web page. |
| | | | |
| − | This file allows you to make inventories of computers '''without''' having the Agent installed.
| + | I took a look on ocsweb database with phpmyadmin before and after using install.php |
| | | | |
| − | Once installed in ocs, you can use the standalone executable ''OCSLogon.exe'' to inventory a single computer without having to install the service (better control for logon scripts and think of what you can do with a simple USB key!)
| + | I noticed that a lot of tables' ''engine type'' were ''MyISAM'' and after using install.php their type was ''InnoDB''! |
| | | | |
| − | First, you need to import the file in the database. Go to www/ocs/install.php and relaunch the install (this is harmless) '''with an mysql admin account''' (I use phpmyadmin so this is ''admin'')
| + | 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! |
| | | | |
| − | After a 1st warning, refresh and the agent.exe should import itself in mysql database. Not sure about what is does, the only thing I've noticed is that ocsweb's database grows of 1.5MB after this!!! So I guess the file is imported in mysql, this is really strange but it do the job!
| + | Help needed! |
| | | | |
| − | Once imported, the file should be deletable...
| + | Cool34000 |
| | + | ---- |
| | | | |
| − | I think the 1st error screen can be fixed, maybe with raising the good value, mysql tries to import 1.5MB, this is huge!
| + | =wiki page= |
| | | | |
| − | =RPM 1-6=
| |
| − | Job already done:
| |
| − | - Removed useless MySQL custom-template
| |
| − | - Removed ocsagent.exe and guide.pdf
| |
| − | - Upload limit fixed
| |
| − | - 'MaxUpload' DB entry added to set dynamically max upload file size (default still at 10M)
| |
| − | - Events moved to domain-modify
| |
| − | - 2 new 'url' types added for ocs' virtual locations
| |
| − | - Uninstall script now also deletes new DB values + logs + old inventories
| |
| − | - Improved Apache templates to allow adding aliases for both web interfaces
| |
| − | - RPM runs silently :'(
| |
| | | | |
| − | SN - excellent !
| |
| | | | |
| − | SN - didn't you need ocsagent.exe ?
| + | ==5.3.2 Deployment menu== |
| | | | |
| − | SG - I tryed to import this file directly in the DB, but can't re-import it then... :'(
| + | there must be a lot of ways this could be used, |
| | + | why make everyone think of them themselves when it could be spelled out |
| | | | |
| − | SG - It was a long time ago, can't remember the error.
| + | this could be a new page, [[:Application deployment]] |
| | | | |
| − | SN - should the default be 100M, say to allow for openoffice
| + | this could include other ways to deploy, eg using netlogon.bat |
| | | | |
| − | SG - I really don't know... This is why I let 10M as this is SME default, and this can be changed via the DB...
| + | others can work on this cool34000 has done enough |
| | | | |
| − | SG - Do you know any impact on security on stability or problems that we could come across with large values?

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==dependencies==
| |
| − | change the install method to install the perl dependencies that are available from existing repos.
| |

| − | Then you can reduce the number of perl rpms in your download the less you are responsible for the better

| − | Is this just a doc issue or do I need to change the Requires?
| + | Here's the way I've always used OCS... First I import the standard ''ocsagent.exe'' in MySQL. |
| | | | |
| − | All needed deps are should be in ''extras'' and mostly in ''dag''
| + | 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) |
| | | | |
| − | Here's the actual list of Requires in the .spec file (edit if needed):
| + | It is so fast to use against the need of installing the Agent: put OcsLogon.exe in a share folder and simply launch it with a one command line batch script each time a session is opened. |

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!

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
