PowerCLI vSphere set-annotation - vsphere

I am able to set notes in annotation with below PowerCLI vSphere.
Input: serverdetails.txt
name,notes
Server 1, This is an application server : .Net
Command:
Import-Csv "C:\temp\serverdetails.txt" | %{ Set-Vm -Name $.Name -Description $.Name -Confirm:$false }
Current Output in annotation i get is as below, complete content in one line.
This is an application server : .Net
However, i need below output in annotation (in two lines):
Line 1: This is an application server
Line 2: .Net

That's not really how the notes field operates, it's more designed around displaying information in the multi-VM view where multi-line output wouldn't work.
If you're looking for something that can display multiple lines, in an prescriptive manner, look at using Tags or even Annotations/Custom Attributes.

PowerShell conversion attempted with .NET class

I've read a few similar Q&As regarding PS and type conversions, but as far as I can see they're not the same situations.
I am attempting to use RMO classes in a Powershell script, but for some reason it thinks a conversion to the same type is necessary and fails to do so.
The code in question is basically:
$conn = New-Object "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection" #($server, $dbUsernm, $dbPasswd);
$publicationDb = New-Object "Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ReplicationDatabase"
$publicationDb.Name = $dbName;
$publicationDb.ConnectionContext = $conn;
(A similar type error occurs if I try to use the two-argument constructor.)
The error is:
Exception setting "ConnectionContext": "Cannot convert the "(..snip..)" value of type
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection" to type "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection"."
So what's going on here? It's clearly trying to convert to the same data types. These aren't defined in PowerShell scripts so shouldn't it be able to track the type? I've also tried casting the variable to [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection] in its declaration and/or in the calls / member set, to no avail.
In case it is relevant, I'm loading the RMO classes this way (which appears to be the only working method, even though from what I understand LoadWithPartialName is deprecated):
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.RMO")
which says:
GAC Version Location
--- ------- --------
True v4.0.30319 C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SqlServer.RMO\v4.0_14.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91\...
Does that mean it's v4.x of that class, or that it's a .NET 4.x class? If it is a .NET 4.x class, is that relevant in any way i.e. is that a problem for Powershell?
TLDR: Summary of troubleshooting: #Keilaron had executed an Import-Module SqlServer earlier on in the PowerShell session which caused the odd behavior.
Personally, I wasn't satisfied that a simple restart of the PowerShell session fixed the issue, as this kind of error shouldn't happen. When I did some further digging, I think I discovered the root cause, and discovered that this is a bigger issue that could be easily missed.
First, the code to replicate the discovered behavior:
Import-Module SqlServer
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.RMO")
$server = 'MyServer'
$dbuser = 'sa'
$dbPasswd = '1234'
$conn = New-Object "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection" #($server, $dbUser, $dbPasswd);
$publicationDb = New-Object "Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ReplicationDatabase"
$publicationDb.Name = 'RandomDatabase'
$publicationDb.ConnectionContext = $conn;
Two key things happen:
The Import-Module SqlServer loads the SqlServer .dll's included with the module, and not the GAC installed modules. This is by design, as the the module is not dependent on SQL Server being installed.
The Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo.dll is not a part of, or loaded with the SqlServer module, as there are no Replication commands in the SqlServer module. So to use the Replication commands, we have to manually load that .dll ourselves.
The two .dll's that we care about that the Import-Module SqlServer transparently imported were the two connection dependent .dll's from the SqlServer PowerShell module location:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile('C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\SqlServer\Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll')
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile('C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\SqlServer\Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlClrProvider.dll')
--> Note: These .dll's were imported as 64 bit .dll's.
The RMO .dll that we had to manually import, come from the GAC, but essentially come from:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo.dll"
Note: This is a 32 bit .dll. This is why we couldn't convert a "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection" to type "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection". Even though they are the same "type", as in name, their different bitness causes them to be incompatible.

Passing command line arguments to spark submit through zeppelin web ui

I want to configure the zeppeline spark interpreter. I would like to pass --conf "spark.cassandra.connection.host=<ip>" --conf "spark.cassandra.input.split.size_in_mb=32" and --jars $(echo /home/sysadmin/ApacheSpark/jar/*.jar | tr ' ' ',') option to spark submit through my zeppelin ui interpreter.
How can I pass them?
Since I have many cassandra machines, I would like to create multiple spark interpreter and therefore do not want to add the configuration in the zeppelin-env file as stated here.
You can use inline configuration to do that which is pretty easy and intuitive.
e.g.
%spark.conf
spark.jars. jar1,jar2
spark.cassandra.connection.host <ip>
spark.cassandra.input.split.size_in_mb 32

Loading .owl files in marklogic

Is it possible to load .owl files using mlcp?
I tried with -input_file_type rdf but it gives error as below:
bin/mlcp.sh import -host localhost -port 9010 -username uname
-password pwd -mode local -input_file_path /home/user/semantics/data -input_file_type rdf -input_file_pattern '.*.owl'
FATAL contentpump.RDFReader: dbpedia1.owl: Element or attribute do not
match QName production: QName::=(NCName':')?NCName. FATAL
contentpump.RDFReader: dbpedia2.owl: Element or attribute do not match
QName production: QName::=(NCName':')?NCName.
What am I missing here ?
MarkLogic documentation lists the supported triples file formats:
.rdf
.ttl
.json
.n3
.nt
.nq
.trig
Maybe you convert your .owl file to one of those formats, at which point you could use MLCP to load it. I tried plugging your example into a format converter, but that didn't work. Perhaps it's because we only have a snippet here.
MarkLogic should be able to process .owl files, but I think Joshua is right that MarkLogic is expecting .owl files to contain RDF/XML. You can also see that from the list of Mimetypes in the Admin interface. It lists the .owl extension as 'application/owl+xml', and RDF/XML seems to be the more common serialization of OWL.
Might just be that if you rename the file to .nt that it works..
HTH!

Can't Execute Query in MSSQL using JDBC in XPages

I am using a JDBC Microsoft SQL driver in an xpage to get data from MS SQL server
The driver is installed using an update site and it is loaded successfully into the OSGI
I have also added a sqlserver.jdbc containing credentials to the webcontent\webinf\jdbc folder in the application
When I try to access the sql tables using #JdbcDbColumn it is working fine
var con=#JdbcGetConnection("sqlserver");
#JdbcDbColumn(con,"PrTr","Descr")
But when I try to execute a query like this
var con=#JdbcGetConnection("sqlserver");
var query="SELECT * FROM PrTr";
var rs=#JdbcExecuteQuery(con,query);
....
I get a stack trace error (on line 3) with lots of error lines, the lines that stand out are these
com.ibm.jscript.InterpretException: Script interpreter error, line=4,
col=8: Error while executing function '#JdbcExecuteQuery'
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
I have also tried to connect a view panel to a JDBCQuery data source but then I only get a 500 error wihtout a stacktrace
The SQL server is not on the same windows server as the xpages
in the stacktrace/tracelog there was one line that looked like this
java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(AccessController.java:362)
But not sure if it is an error or only informational and if it is related to the query. i.e if there is a security problem.
I need help to understand why I can do the #JDBCDbColumn but not the #JDBCExecuteQuery
btw I just checked the SQLLog and do not see any entries related to my queries
Here is the full stacktrace

I came across this problem some time ago with column names being upper cased for a method in Extension Library code -> How to get XPages and JSON to not put variable names in Uppercase
I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but may be worth investigating.
To find out if it's a security issue you could allow all permissions to Java. Create a java.pol file in the jvm/lib/ext/ folder, and add this:
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
(don't forget to restart the server when you're done)
I've done custom JDBC connections by including the correct driver Jar file to the database and I needed to do this to get it work.

FreeRadius dictionary loading

I'm trying to load a dictionary that comes in with Debian Squeeze. Unfortunately radius-client library fails on some included file with:
rc_read_dictionary: unknown Vendor-Id encrypt=1 on line 7 of dictionary /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.compat
The line is
ATTRIBUTE Password 2 string encrypt=1
Freeradius is installed from the package, so I assume this should work just fine... What could be the problem here?
Late answer, but it still might help others, I got bit by a related issue.
You're getting that error because you're trying to use a dictionary file designed for the FreeRADIUS server. The client library "freeradius-client" is not 100% compatible with that format. Specifically, in your case, it cannot handle the encrypt=1 property of the attribute.
The reason for the complaint about an unknown Vendor-Id is another incompatibility between FreeRADIUS server and the freeradius-client library. FreeRADIUS server expects dictionary files with vendor specific attributes (VSAs) like the following:
VENDOR Cisco 9
BEGIN-VENDOR Cisco
ATTRIBUTE Cisco-AVPair 1 string
ATTRIBUTE Cisco-NAS-Port 2 string
...
END-VENDOR Cisco
The freeradius-client library however can only parse VSAs in the following form:
VENDOR Cisco 9
ATTRIBUTE Cisco-AVPair 1 string vendor=Cisco
ATTRIBUTE Cisco-NAS-Port 2 string vendor=Cisco
The above is true for FreeRADIUS server v2.1.x and freeradius-client v1.1.6.
