SFO Airport Free WiFi and an Android Samsung S4

So you might have found it annoying
that your fuzzy new Android phone/tablet doesn’t like to connect to WiFi in certain places with the terms and conditions to accept before allowing you to connect.
For me and my Samsung S4 Mini, it turned out to be a minor issue with Chrome’s pop up blocking.

After getting the usual error page like this: [SSL CONNECTION ERROR]

or this [WEB PAGE NOT AVAILABLE]

I opened another window and happened to be on the flysfo.com

website going through the Samsung instructions when I noticed the page suddenly changed and up popped the Accept Terms and Conditions page.
Accepted it and off I went on SFO Free WiFi (yea.)
You’ll also notice the screenshot shows the gateway address for their portal service: http://216.9.98.194/guest
– hitting that link may have helped, too.

Oracle OpenWorld 2014 Networking Opportunity Events #OOW14

Where I can keep track of the special events (note: these are not “parties” as so many people are misled to believe) at OOW.  To attend one of these events:

1. You’re registered as an OpenWorld Attendee.
2. You’re either a prospect, customer, or goodwill contact for the host. That means you actually contact the host and ask to attend before OOW.
3. You visit the host’s booth at OpenWorld in order to pick up whatever is required for entry and get to know what the host actually does.
4. Do not just show up at the event and attempt to “crash” it – just spend your time at a regular OOW reception the same evening and you’ll still get plenty of party time.

Do you believe there is a difference in strength between attraction and avoidance? Or to put it a colloquial way, which would win in a fight, being attracted to something/someone or avoiding it/them? Let’s take a look at some of the attributes of each and see how your own values line-up.

Attraction, as every similar form of influence, has both a positive and negative nature. The positive seems almost obvious, being a form of emotional enrichment and satisfaction. The negative qualities might be that attraction can negate objectivity and perspective. You can really like something that turns out to be really bad for you, or having a fondness for someone, which is either not returned in-kind (unrequited love, for example).  Attraction could be considered a way of breaking away from patterns or repeating behavior, or conversely becoming stuck or addicted to the same — all because of the emotional triggers involved.

What about avoidance? At a number of levels, avoiding something or someone is related to safety and self-preservation. Avoidance triggers the “fight or flight” responses. We can become driven by preferences, which can block awareness or create limits in many ways. We might avoid foods, avoid traffic, and avoid confrontation to only become limited in our tastes, isolated from collective activities, and form barriers to our interactions with others. If left unchecked, avoidance can develop into fear, which has its own dire consequences.

Both attraction and avoidance are behaviors triggered by perceptions.  Ultimately it is the action you take as the result of a perception that determines the positive or negative result. Do you realize that for someone to argue with you, they must care about you enough to want to influence your opinion? That’s a form of attraction, even though you may wish to avoid the argument.

At my work, my group often wonders why we receive so many of the service requests that seem completely out-of-scope for our group’s responsibilities. Then I noticed, we tend to be really quick and redirect the requests to the appropriate specialists, and don’t tend to let a lot of requests pile up in our queues. Our group is perceived to be able to handle the redirections gracefully, and even though we complain about having to do it, it turns out assignment to our group is the path of least resistance for the service operators.  When assigned to other groups, the requests either get ignored (avoidance), or await for a customer to follow up before action is taken. Ours is handling everything efficiently, even though the only incentive (attraction) to us is to keep our waiting queue clean.

Enlightenment is often attributed with a greater awareness of the truth, reality or absolute nature (jpn. Shinnyo.) And inside this awareness, even the most basic ideas of good and bad are discovered to be also triggered by perception. In nurturing your mind to begin to see as-is, where-is, what-is instead of only seeing attractive and avoidable things, events and people, you start becoming aware of many things, including how diversity and uniqueness, are at the same time bound by identicality and commonality. Every rock, stone and pebble, regardless of size, shape or substance, can also simply be called a “rock.”

How many other adjectives are similarly driven by perceptions?

• Good and Bad/evil
• Right and Wrong
• Tasty and Yucky
• Best and Worst
• Friend and Foe
• Like and Dislike
• Famous and Anonymous
• Opportunity and Misfortune

As you continue along your life’s path with open eyes, mind and heart, think about what you perceive through your senses. Remember that we’ve had thousands of years of reminders about this same concept whether you called it The Law of Analogy, Positive Mental Attitude or are assessing Your Life IQ. You may discover one day that The Path is simply wherever you place your next step.

Which one is stronger? It all depends on your perception.

R12.2.3 / R12.2.x Oracle e-Business Suite – Resetting the WebLogic Password

…because occasionally you either forget it (or in my case, a technology patch reset it to something I wasn’t sure about.)

There are 2 basic routes:

---

The “short” process – re-run the post-clone config (adcfgclone.pl):

# Have to remove the existing FMW home because it will re-unzip a new one from the clone staging archive
applptch@aburpaofinm01 $> cd /u01/fs2
applptch@aburpaofinm01 $> ls
EBSapps  FMW_Home  inst
applptch@aburpaofinm01 $> ls -latr
total 24
drwxrwxr-x  8 applptch oinstall 4096 May  8 21:49 ..
drwxr-xr-x  5 applptch oinstall 4096 May  9 12:33 EBSapps
drwxr-xr-x  3 applptch oinstall 4096 Jul 16 15:30 inst
drwxr-xr-x  6 applptch oinstall 4096 Jul 16 15:41 .
drwxr-x— 13 applptch oinstall 4096 Jul 16 16:16 FMW_Home
applptch@aburpaofinm01 $> rm -rf FMW_HOME_BAK
# Check that the Oracle Homes are not in the OraInventory
# Or you will receive the error:
# Below Oracle Homes are already registered in the global inventory:
#/u01/fs2/FMW_Home/Oracle_EBS-app1
#/u01/fs2/FMW_Home/webtier
#/u01/fs2/FMW_Home/oracle_common
#
# Exiting Cloning…
#
# Ensure that the above Oracle Homes are unregistered from the global inventory “/u01/oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml” and re-run adcfgclone.pl script
vi /u01/oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml
# and remove the <HOME> through </HOME> entries for the 3 listed entries
# Begin the clone – needs the APPS password
applptch@aburpaofinm01 $> cd $COMMON_TOP/clone/bin
applptch@aburpaofinm01 $> perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier

---

The “long” process – by manually manipulating the admin account in the /u01/<fs#>/FMW_Home:

# Verify your Weblogic Environment home
applptch@aburpaofinm01 $> set | grep EBS

EBS_DOMAIN_HOME=/u01/fs2/FMW_Home/user_projects/domains/EBS_domain_PTCHARMK

# Stop Weblogic
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstpall.sh apps/$APPS_PW
Weblogic Password: [anything because you don’t know it]

# Set your environment
cd $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/bin
. setDomainEnv.sh

# Remove the existing LDIFT’s, boot.properties and LDAP directory
rm -rf $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/security/DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift ; \
rm -rf $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties ; \
rm -rf $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/oacore_server?/security/boot.properties ; \
rm -rf $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/forms_server?/security/boot.properties ; \
rm -rf $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/oafm_server?/security/boot.properties ; \
rm -rf $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/forms-c4ws_server?/security/boot.properties ; \
rm -rf $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/oaea_server?/security/boot.properties ; \
rm -rf $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/data/nodemanager/boot.properties ; \
rm -rf $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap

# Start AdminServer from command line manually
cd $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME ;\
startWebLogic.sh

# Enter new credentials as above
<Sep 16, 2014 4:58:09 PM PDT> <Info> <Security> <BEA-090065> <Getting boot identity from user.>
Enter username to boot WebLogic server:weblogic
Enter password to boot WebLogic server:

Change NodeManager password

Log in to the WebLogic Administration console.
Click the Lock & Edit button.
In the left panel, click on the EBS Domain link.
Select the Security tab.
Click on the ‘Advanced’ link.
Edit the ‘Node Manager password’ field and set it to the new WebLogic Server password. The password should be same as set in Step 3.
Edit the ‘Confirm NodeManager Password’ field and set it to the new WebLogic Server password. The password should be same as set in Step 3.
Save and activate the changes.

Shut down AdminServer from the console. For the first time, AdminServer has to be stopped from the Admin console. Follow these steps:

Log in to the WebLogic Administration console.
Shut down AdminServer.

Shut down NodeManager using the normal AD script.

$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adnodemgrctl.sh stop

Copy the boot.properties file for all managed servers.

cp $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/data/nodemanager/boot.properties \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/oacore_server?/security/boot.properties  \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/forms_server?/security/boot.properties  \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/oafm_server?/security/boot.properties  \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/forms-c4ws_server?/security/boot.properties  \
$EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/oaea_server?/security/boot.properties

The EBS WebLogic Server domain password has now been changed, and all servers can now be started using the normal AD scripts.

To start AdminServer:

$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adadminsrvctl.sh start

# Start it all back up again
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstrtal.sh apps/$APPS_PW
Weblogic Password: [weblogic pwd]

Now your password change is complete (or at least you can get back into your Admin Console).

# Clone the working result from the run filesystem to the patch filesystem
$ adop phase=fs_clone
