==upload size limit==
 
Max allowed packet value is locked at 10M by default on SME.
 
Let's delete the mysql custom-template in the future RPM!
 
 
We can modify this value to only affect the ocs directory.
 
 
Add the following lines to Apache template:
 
<Directory /opt/inventory/ocs/ocsreports>
 
..
 
php_admin_value post_max_size $ocs{'MaxUpload'}
 
php_admin_value upload_max_filesize $ocs{'MaxUpload'}
 
Apply changes:
 
config setprop ocs MaxUpload xxM
 
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith condrestart
 
Default value: 10M
 
 
==aliases==
 
Future RPM will allow to add aliases using 'URL' value to ocs and glpi
 
{
 
  if (exists $foo{'URL'})
 
  { $OUT .= "Alias  /$foo{'URL'}  /opt/foo\n"; }
 
}
 
 
==RPM is not a chatroom==
 
Less chat in the install output, just say look at the renamed wiki page
 
 
==events==
 
Don't use signal-event my-own-event: just give all the commands, or use an existing one, we could use domain-modify

Here's the future createlinks perl script:
 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
use esmith::Build::CreateLinks qw(:all);
 
 
# Templates to adjust
 
templates2events("/etc/e-smith/sql/init/80ocs_mysql.sql",          qw(domain-modify post-upgrade ));
 
templates2events("/etc/e-smith/sql/init/82glpi_mysql.sql",        qw(domain-modify post-upgrade ));
 
templates2events("/etc/e-smith/sql/init/84ocs-glpi.sql",          qw(domain-modify post-upgrade ));
 
templates2events("/etc/ocsinventory-agent/ocsinv.conf",            qw(domain-modify post-upgrade ));
 
templates2events("/opt/inventory/glpi/config/config_db.php",      qw(domain-modify post-upgrade ));
 
templates2events("/opt/inventory/ocs/ocsreports/dbconfig.inc.php", qw(domain-modify post-upgrade ));
 
# Services to restart
 
safe_symlink("start",          "root/etc/e-smith/events/domain-modify/services2adjust/mysql.init");
 
Apache is already expanded and restarted by event ''domain-modify'' so I removed these useless lines... Events are also available when calling a ''post-upgrade''. I based this on how SME handles webmail and also what I've found in other SPRMs...
 
 
 
How I handle SME integration:
 
80ocs_mysql.sql  => create/update ocs  database+user+password
 
82glpi_mysql.sql => create/update glpi database+user+password
 
84ocs-glpi.sql  => apply ocs' password in glpi database
 
ocsinv.conf      => apply Agent config
 
config_db.php    => MySQL DB passwords
 
dbconfig.inc.php => MySQL DB passwords
 
{{Warning box|These templates allow to restore the good password when using www/ocs/install.php (used for web interface updates!!!)}}
 
{{Note box|These templates also ensures that if ocs password changes, it will be updated in glpi MySQL database!!!}}
 
{{Note box|These templates are working for RPM install, RPM updates and everyday use :-)}}

==save bandwidth==
 
Create a separate RPM with the ''ocsagent.exe'' and ''guide.pdf'' and make it a dependency of the main RPM...
 
 
Or maybe not?
 
 
=> files deleted in the tarball, this is 1.5MB + 6MB
 
 
=> ocsagent.exe needs to be installed anyway with www/ocs/install.php
 
 
People should download latest client and put ocsagent.exe in www/ocs/files
 
 
Will document this later
 
 
=> figured out why the guide.pdf is needed: there a link to it the web interface...
 
 
People can download this file... Or not, let's warn that the help page won't be accessible in OCS!
 
 
I think there is no need to put them as requires. I can put the guide.pdf in my folder and give the link in the wiki.
 
 
==MySQL init scripts ==
 
/etc/e-smith/sql/init/* should only be used one to create the db table, then it is deleted
 
httpd.conf and php.ini are in standard events (and are we still changing php.ini?)
 
which only leaves three fragments to document in the rare case that something changes

Yes, all that goes in /etc/e-smith/sql/init/ is dropped after a successful importation. I know that, I use it this way:
 
*3 templates to dynamically create the DB+User+Password and change OCS' password in GLPI' database. These templates are harmless if re-expanded...
 
 
*2 databases (one for ocs, one for glpi). They are imported ONLY ON NEW INSTALL. These 2 databases are dropped once imported (no need to keep them!)... It also allows me to import the right GLPI database according to ''$LANG''
 
 
So when the RPM runs:
 
* 3 files loaded on RPM updates
 
* 5 files loaded on RPM install
 
Take a look on their name when all 5 files are put in /etc/e-smith/sql/init/ once expanded

==new accounts==
 
2 'url' accounts types will be created for ocs:
 
root/etc/e-smith/db/accounts/defaults/ocsinterface
 
root/etc/e-smith/db/accounts/defaults/ocsinventory
 
These virtual locations are used by ocs server-side.

known bugs

There are still some bugs in this RPM... Help us to fix them!

ipdiscover bug

We need to confirm that ipdiscover works when the smeserver is the forced client.

I Tried the following:

ipdiscover eth0 10
Important.png Note:
Usage : ipdiscover [iface name] [latency in ms]


Here's what I got on my server:

<IPDISCOVER>
<H>192.168.0.100<M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00100.mydomain.com</N></H>
<H>192.168.0.253<M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00253.mydomain.com</N></H>
<H>192.168.0.254<M>00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx</M><N>pc-00254.mydomain.com</N></H>
</IPDISCOVER>

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

Windows Agent don't have this problem...

deployment deletion bug

When you delete a package, ocs complains, but it deletes the files anyway, document later

Stefen


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?

Cool34000


add a package, deploy > activate > click on the red X

ERROR: Can't delete directory /opt/inventory/ocs/download/1194511477

I have documented that you can ignore the error, maybe i should say if you see the error you can ignore?

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)

future RPM

What will be fixed in next RPM release...

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

yum localinstall smeserver-inventory-tools* --enablerepo=?
