The “Problem Steps Recorder“, which is part of Windows 7 and higher, seems to be a useful tool to document the steps for recreating a software problem etc. You can start it by running the command “psr”.

Asus AICharger replacement for Linux
Some time ago I described how to get more power to your USB ports on your Asus mainboard (e.g. to charge your iPad). Unfortunatley this Asus AICharger tool is only available for Windows. However there is a solution for Linux too. See this post here and some more discussions here.

Microsoft ärgert einen langjährigen, zahlenden Kunden

Die einzige Lösung, die MS dazu einfällt: Schicken Sie uns ihre Original-CD. Nun, mache ich. Auf die Gefahr hin, dass ich nachher gar nichts mehr in der Hand habe. Dann gibt es aber richtig Ärger. So werden zahlende Kunden vergrault, wärend die Raubkopierer mit irgendwelchen Patches munter ihre Kopie weiter ungestört nutzen.

Step-by-Step Applying CR1 for IBM Connections 4.5 with Connections Content Manager ( CCM )
Ok, now it is officially published. With these instructions an update of IBM Connections 4.5 including Connections COntent Manager to CR1 should no longer be a big problem 🙂
IBM Connections 4.5 CR1 Upgrade: Missing scripts
If you are missing the files “updateJVMArgs.py” and “ccmUpdate.sh” resp “ccmUpdate.bat” aftre you installed IBM Connections 4.5 CR1, then you might have forgotten one step.
After unpacking the ZIP file with all CR1 fixes you find one additional ZIP file “45-CR1-CCM-OPTIONAL-UPDATE-UNZIP-AND-PLACE-JAR-IN-FIXES-DIRECTORY.zip” which also need to be unzipped.
The resulting fix “LO75060-IC4500-CR01-CCM.jar” also needs to be installed with the Connections update manager.
Afterwards the missing files should be available in the ” /opt/IBM/Connections/addons/ccm/ccmDomainTool/” directory.
IBM Connections: Error running “setupCmdLine.sh”
While running the setupCmdLine.sh script to set your Websphere environment variables you get the error: “dirname: invalid option — ‘b'”.
This might happen if you start the script (as described in the documentation) from the directory “/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/”. If you instead run it from the Deployment manager profile, then it should work:
. /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin/setupCmdLine.sh
Do not forget the leading “. ” in front of the command!
You may check that the variables are set correctly by running
echo $WAS_HOME
This variable should now be set to you WAS install directory (e.g. “/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer”)
