Startup Notes

Here are the some notes out of many Start-up entrepreneurs interviews and from their failed stories...

• Every start-up savvy must read all the articles listed here http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html
• thehackernews.com or Google it on hacker news.... Post the product / idea here and get the early feed back and work on it.
• Try out and fail..
• Never work in isolation, Do frequent release of the product have early user access and pay attention to users feedback. It's okey to be crappy but fix the damn thing.
• Research the idea in targeted market segment.
• Getting priorities right..Logo is not important :) Build and Ship.
• Write content and share with right audience and market your self.
• Customer feedback is extremely important. Let them talk and listen to them.

How do you turn your mind into the type that startup ideas form in unconsciously? 

(1) Learn a lot about things that matter, then 

(2) work on problems that interest you 

(3) with people you like and respect. The third part, incidentally, is how you get co-founders at the same time as the idea.

(4) Look for a Startup Mentor, You need one who can guide you in all aspects right from Decisions, Marketing and Customer handling etc..

java.lang.Out OfMemoryError

Unveiling the java.lang.Out OfMemoryError
— When we encounter a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, we often find that Java heap dumps, along with other artifacts, are generated by the Java Virtual Machine. If you feel like jumping right into a Java heap dump when you get a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, don’t worry, it’s a normal thought. You may be able to discover something serendipitously, but it’s not always the best idea to analyze Java heap dumps, depending on the situation you are facing. We first need to investigate the root cause of the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.

XHOST Setup on Ubuntu

It is mandatory to set-up XHOST in order to run any installation through UI, for Instance Oracle installation. If XHOST is not configured property Ubuntu will not trigger any UI installer window.

How to Set-up:

Edit default users bashrc file (Under user Home directory)

sirishg@ubuntu:~$ vi .bashrc

Add the following lines,

xhost local:<username>

Example:

#### Sirish Changes Start ####
echo Adding xhost for users sterling, oracle and sirishg

xhost local:sterling
xhost local:oracle
xhost local:sirishg

echo Adding xhost for users Done!
#### Sirish Changes End ####

Avoid duplicate file processing in Sterling File Gateway (SFG)

The actual error we see in the logs is just the way SFTP in SI detects
duplicate files and since you have the option in the
mailbox.properties set to:

disallowDuplicateMessages=false

This means that duplicate files are allowed and therefore SFG
processed those duplicate uploads.

So the partner should investigate why did their application trigger a
duplicate upload of the same file.

If you want to avoid duplicate uploads, you should consider setting
the option disallowDuplicateMessages to true in both nodes, this will
stop SI from accepting duplicate files.

If you want to make that change, you will need to modify\create your
customer_overrides.properties on both nodes and add the following
line:
mailbox.disallowDuplicateMessages=true

Both nodes need to be restarted for the change to take effect.

Attach multiple SSH Authorized User Key to Sterling File Gateway (SFG) Profile

Multiple source systems can talk to one Sterling Integrator SFTP server and the Authorized User Key for the remote servers could be different. The limitation with SFG is we can’t attach multiple Authorized user key to SFG profile, if we edit the profile SFG will list all the user profiles in drop down it mean we can select only One.

To overcome this problem  DO NOT attach SSH Authorized User Keys from SFG instead go to Sterling Integrator Dashboard and edit the SFG Profile User there is page to attach multiple SSH Authorized User  Keys to one user.

SI Dashboard > Account > User Accounts > Account Name (Search on Account Name), Edit the user and assign multiple SSH Authorized User Keys. 

Setting up SSH public/private keys

​Setting up SSH public/private keys

SSH (Secure Shell) can be set up with public/private key pairs so that you don't have to type the password each time. Because SSH is the transport for other services such as SCP (secure copy), SFTP (secure file transfer), and other services (CVS, etc), this can be very convenient and save you a lot of typing.​

     

SSH Version 2

​On the local machine, type the BOLD part. The non-bold part is what you might see as output or prompt.

• Step 1:
  % ssh-keygen -t dsa
  Generating public/private dsa key pair.
  Enter file in which to save the key (~/.ssh/id_dsa): (just type return)
  Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): (just type return)
  Enter same passphrase again: (just type return)
  Your identification has been saved in ~/.ssh/id_dsa
  Your public key has been saved in ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
  The key fingerprint is:
  Some really long string
  %
• Step 2:
  Then, paste the content of the local ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub file into the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote host.
• RSA instead of DSA
  • If you want something strong, you could try
    % ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
  • Instead of the names id_dsa and id_dsa.pub, it will be id_rsa and id_rsa.pub , etc.
  • The rest of the steps are identical.

That's it!
FAQ:

• Q: I follow the exact steps, but ssh still ask me for my password!
• A: Check your remote .ssh directory. It should have only your own read/write/access permission (octal 700)
  % chmod 700 ~/.ssh

​

SSH Version 1

• Step 1:
  % cd ~/.ssh
  % ssh-keygen -t rsa1
  Generating public/private rsa1 key pair.
  Enter file in which to save the key (~/.ssh/identity): (just type return)
  Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): (just type return) Enter same passphrase again: (just type return)
  Your identification has been saved in ~/.ssh/identity
  Your public key has been saved in ~/.ssh/identity.pub
  The key fingerprint is:
  Some really long string
  %
• Step 2:
  Then, paste content of the local ~/.ssh/identity.pub file into the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote host.

​ Configure External Databases to IBM Sterling B2B Integrator

We can add multiple

​​

external databases to IBM Sterling B2B Integrator. To add custom database need to do the following things,

1. Stop IBM Sterling B2B Integrator
2. Navigate to SI_INSTALL_DIR\properties and edit jdbc_customer.properties.in and add the below properties.
3. Run setupfiles.bat/sh (SI_INSTALL_DIR\bin\setupfiles.bat/sh)
4. Start IBM Sterling B2B Integrator

Question

Can I use AD (Active Directory) Logins in Sterling B2B Integrator to communicate with SQL Server?

Answer

Active Directory logins cannot be used for Sterling B2B Integrator and SQL Server. The jdbc driver Sterling B2B Integrator uses does not allow using AD accounts. SQL Server accounts must be used.
