Oracle Server Account
 

You will need to get an account on the Oracle server.

Server= mcsdb1.sci.csueastbay.edu ( or mcsdb2.sci.csueastbay.edu ---see your account information emailed to you)

You will be given tablespace on the Oracle DB instance cs1db (or csdb2 --see account information emailed to you)

You can look for and download free SQLPlus application. Or use Navicat or free Toad --GUI database mangement tools. (search for them on web-- use what you like)

SQLPlus

  • program you download to your machine that lets you remotely connect (via telnet protocol...invisible to you), to the Oracle DB instance cs1db into your account.
  • You use SQL commands to manipulate your tablespace.
  • YOU CAN RUN SQLPlus from EBOX
    • /apps/oracle/OraHome1/bin/sqlplus  login@mcsdb2 (or whatever your sid is)
    • will prompt for your password
    • now you have command-line interface to type your commands in
  • ALTERNATIVELY --if not tnsnames.ora file
    • sqlplus login/pasword@host:port/SID
    • sqlplus login/pasword@mcsdb1.sci.csueastbay.edu:1521/MCSDB1
  • TO Download the SQLPlus and necessary configuration information:
    • ftp://bell.telecom.csuhayward.edu/APPS/Oracle/Windows/Sql%20Plus3.3/
      1. Read the ReadME file
      2. Retrieve the sqlplus.zip file and unzip and install
      3. UPDATE your tnsnames.ora file approapriately to reflect a cs1db instance!!!! So that it also points to the host = pizza.mcs.csuhayward.edu (or 134.154.14.22)
  • Once you have followed the directions to install SQLPlus.
      1. Launch SQLPlus application from your machine. You will get the following login/connect window. You should enter you UserName, Password and the Host String = cs1db






      2. If you are successfull in connecting you will see the following kind of message:
      3. You are now ready at the SQL> prompt to enter in your desired SQL commands.
      4. SQL COMMAND TO ALTER YOUR PASSWORD!!!!!!!!
        SQL> alter user your_user_name identified by new_password;

         

Ebox.SCI Server Account

In this case we are sharing tomcat access through the hot deployment directory. The following outlines the steps you need to take to deploy a WAR (servlets and jsps):

1) upload (or work there) your code to your directory in your ebox.sci account.

2) compile code on ebox.sci and make sure file permissions all 755.  Then create war file on ebox.sci.  No go to  step 4. Use your lastname in the basename of your war file: example for me Project1_Grewe.war
Suppose the file is called NameOfWar.war

3) Change directories into hot deployment directory
cd /opt/acpache/tomcat/webapps
newgrp tomcat (prior to this Richard/admin must have in a group folder make your login part of this group)

4) cp ~login/whatever/NameOfWar.war . This copies over your WAR file into the current tomcat hot deployment directory

5) wait some time for it to autodeploy (2 minutes)

6) Execute your servlet/jsp or whatever http://ebox.sci.csueastbay.edu:8080/NameOfWar/your_individual_files

Ebox Server Account
 

You will need to get an account on the Ebox machine.

name = ebox.mcs.csuhayward.edu

If you have problems with the server, you may email the department administrator of ebox, Richard Uhler, ruhler@csuhayward.edu

HTML

  • create a subdirectory named public_html
  • place all of your HTML files in your public_html directory. This directory and any sub-directories should be of mode rwxr-xr-x
  • you can as desired make sub-directories inside of your public_html directory and I encourage you to do so for each project,etc.
  • The url leading up to your main public_html directory will be http://ebox.mcs..csuhayward.edu/~login

Java Servlets, Java Server Pages, Applets

  • place all of your files in your public_html directory on Ebox.
  • you can as desired make sub-directories inside of your public_html directory and I encourage you to do so for each project,etc.
  • see HOWTO follow directions for TOMCAT to deploy a servlet (referred to as a webapp) (note: be careful to download the sample web.xml file and not view,copy and paste it!!!)
  • A .login file you can use to setup your environment for compiling for Servlets .login file (place in your main directory, is an ASCII file)
  • About how to post JSPs see HOWTO follow directions for TOMCAT to deploy a servlet (referred to as a webapp)

Puzzle Server

 

This is our J2EE server (glassfish) we will be using experiementally as the EJB container.

We are sharing what normally would be controlled by one person (or small group) so you must be very conservative in your actions.

(location of a JDK /opt/glassfishv3/jdk/bin/version 1.6.0_20 ) (user glassfish / passwd glassfishpw)

admin page is http://puzzle.mcs.csueastbay.edu:4848/

username:admin

passwd:grewepw

docs are in http://puzzle.mcs.csueastbay.edu

  • located in  /opt/local/apache_1.3.41.64bit/htdocs

start server with ~glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1

  •  passwd glassfishpw

stop server with ~glassfish/bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1

NetMeeting
 

What is IT?

This is a MicroSoft product that you can use for VideoConferencing. It has the following capabilities:

  • Video/Audio Conferencing - one to one
    • to use audio must have microphone and speakers
    • to send video must have a camera (can recieve video without this).
    • NOTE: to be able to do with multiple people you must have additionally some Conference server software installed and use this. NetMeeting 3 does not support video or audio between more than one other person at one time unless you use a MCU (Multipoint Control Unit). WhitePine's MeetingPoint server is one of the better known MCU's. You can see some examples of MCUs at http://www.cuseemeworld.com . Also, see more about MCUs

ALL OTHER FEATURES YOU CAN DO WITH groups of people.

  • Whiteboard:
    • Load local files
    • Draw
  • Text Chat
  • File Transfer (while in call or meeting)
  • Remote Desktop Sharing: where you can give control of your desktop to other(s) in call/meeting.

 

Resources

 

WARNINGS AND TIPS:

  1. YOU MUST download NetMeeting 3.* (or greater) as it can not communicate with older versions of NetMeeting!!!
  2. How to find your IP address in NetMeeting 3? Go to the "Help" menu and select "About." Your IP address is in the dialog box that comes up.
  3. What is the dial pad for in NetMeeting 3? The dial pad is for calling through a Gateway/Gatekeeper.
  4. Can I use a fake e-mail address in NetMeeting's options? What are the pros/cons to doing this? Yes, you can put a fake e-mail address into NetMeeting's options, but just be aware that: 1.No one will be able to write you back if your call doesn't go through. 2.People won't be able to find you on the ILS servers. For instance, everyone knows my e-mail address is rscoble@fawcette.com so if I use a "fake" e-mail address of myfakeid@fawcette.com or something worse, then no one will be able to find me by using my real e-mail address. 3.In some instances the ILS server won't allow you on without entering a correct e-mail address.
  5. How to make a call:
    • You must know the other person's IP address or they must be on a NetMeeting ILS server and then you can request to speak with them by finding them in the directory.

    Calling someone in the ILS server Directory

    Finding someone to call in an ILS server is fairly easy once you've entered the ILS server that you think someone is on that you want to call. You just click on the "Find Someone in a Directory" button and then search the Microsoft Internet Directory.

    To call someone in an ILS server you just double-click on them. It's pretty easy.

    Calling someone Directly

    Simply go for a New call and type in their IP address.

    Hosting a Meeting

    How do I host a meeting? TWO OPTIONS

    1.Just tell others to call you directly at a specific time. You must give them an IP address (or be on an ILS server).

    2.Use the new "Host Meeting" functionality in the call menu.
