How to change the severity level of raised case?

Please add this question on FAQ and answer this question.

Hi,

I've added this question to the Case Mangement FAQ: https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-38673

I don't see any "Report a Problem" links on any of the pages in the CP. Can you clarify where I should report problems with a particular web page?

Hi,

I've updated the document with accurate instructions for how to report a problem. This procedure has changed with the recent portal upgrade.

Does exist a case managment   system opensource ?

Yes "RT" is one of them.

As everyone know there are many versions of RedHat OS. Can you help me choose the right version for me (I'm new to RedHat, therefore some links for books to learn will be essential for me). I want it to learn for personal use & perhaps for my career (up-coming programmer). Hope it's enough to help.

Thanks in advance,
Joseph.

Hi Joseph,

We have many experienced users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux active in the RHEL group here on the customer portal. Why not start a discussion there and ask about useful resources and books to learn from? https://access.redhat.com/groups/red-hat-enterprise-linux

Question 's 1) I was still concerned that nothing there says when to utilize which subscription? What exactly does one physical and 4 virtual mean? 2) Does it depend on whose hyper-visor you are using? VMware, Hyper-V, SUSE Linux's hyper-visor or Red Hat's own hyper-visor?

Hi, may i know how to solve "WFLYJCA0040: failed to invoke operation: WFLYJCA0042: failed to match pool. Check JndiName: java:jboss/datasources/test" please?

What i need?

I need setup oracle database in JBoss EAP 7.2.0.GA version.(Note: it worked fine when i use Jboss EAP7.1)

What i did?

I have added ojdbc6.jar in \jbosshome\modules\com\oracle\ojdbc6\main. Here is my module.xml in \jbosshome\modules\com\oracle\ojdbc6\main

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="com.oracle.ojdbc6">
  <resources>
    <resource-root path="ojdbc6.jar"/>
  </resources>
   <dependencies>
     <module name="javax.api"/>
     <!-- <module name="javax.transaction.api"/> -->
   </dependencies>
</module>

and standalone.xml

 <datasource jta="true" jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/test" pool-name="TEST" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">
    <connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:SID</connection-url> 
    <driver>oracle</driver>
    <security>
        <user-name></user-name>
        <password></password>
    </security>
    <statement>
        <prepared-statement-cache-size>32</prepared-statement-cache-size>
    </statement>
</datasource>

<driver name="oracle" module="com.oracle.ojdbc6">
    <xa-datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</xa-datasource-class>
</driver>

Did i miss something? I got error when run "test connection" in management console

ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (External Management Request Threads -- 1) WFLYCTL0013: Operation ("test-connection-in-pool") failed - address: ([ ("subsystem" => "datasources"), ("data-source" => "TEST") ]) - failure description: "WFLYJCA0040: failed to invoke operation: WFLYJCA0042: failed to match pool. Check JndiName: java:jboss/datasources/test"

I solved it by changing setting from to as below:

<driver name="oracle" module="com.oracle.ojdbc6">
   <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</driver-class>
</driver>

This version of the specification seems to be more stringent.

How do I accept Redhat's Terms and Conditions ?

I'm sorry to hear of your problem, Mr. Tsang.  You may try logging out of the Red Hat Customer Portal, clearing your browser's cache & cookies, and then logging back in. If that does not present the terms and conditions to you for acceptance, you should also try this direct link:  https://www.redhat.com/wapps/tnc/ackrequired?site=candlepin&event=signOn. If that also fails, please contact Red Hat Support.  (US toll-free number is 888-GO-REDHAT [888-467-3342].)
