Confluence server plugin not working in data center - confluence

I have made a plugin for Confluence v7.13.7. It is working absolutely fine in the Confluence server which is set up locally on my machine. But, when I tried installing the plugin in the client’s instance who is also using the same Confluence version 7.13.7 but using the data center version, the plugin got installed but not giving any result upon hitting the API endpoint.
Is this possible that a plugin can work in a server edition but cannot work in the data center? If this can happen, what are the possible reasons for this?

Please refer to https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/developing-apps-for-atlassian-data-center-products/ to learn the difference of apps for DC. Most features will work the same it DC as in Server, but as it uses several nodes, you have to think how to transfer the same objects between them

Confluence migration from cloud to server

We have migrated a space from cloud instance to server instance,in cloud instance we were using "Plantuml diagrams for confluence" but in server we are using "Confluence PlantUML Plugin" .so macro name are different in both cloud and server ,so macro name for cloud is "plantumlcloud" but for server it is "plantuml".so ,in pages after migration it is showing "plantumlcloud" not a valid macro ,kindly help to resolve.
In general, migration of confluence spaces to another application which is not running the same plugins will cause any functionality of that plugin to break.
If you migrate hosting platforms, and have the equivalent version of the plugin for your new platform, created by the same developer, in most cases you will retain functionality, however there will often be differences between versions.
These differences are found especially when downgrading, and moving from cloud to server is a very definite example of a downgrade, as cloud will always run the latest version.
In general I would reccomend against a migration from cloud to server, and when it must be done, time should be spent to ensure compatability with all plugins, and migration guides and plans should be made and followed.
As commented by #tgdavies, there seems to be an equivelent version of the plugin you were using on cloud, so hopefully that can resolve your issue.

How to access Atlassian cloud?

I have a huge wiki on redmine and I want to move it to confluence. I found this project https://github.com/vile/redmine2confluence-wiki that would do the job since Atlassian doesn't support this functionality. My problem is that I don't know how to run the script on Confluence server since I am using their cloud. Can anyone guide me ?
The majority of the process should be run on your redmine environment provided it has internet access & has python installed.
The last step cannot be performed for Confluence Cloud
Here's the part (at the end) which confirms this:
This will result in a script called fix-author.sql to be run on the Confluence server.
Being cloud, you don't have access to the underlying Confluence server or the database for that matter.

How to get started with vSphere 6.0 and set up the web client?

Linked from here
I've been tasked with setting up some VMs. I've been given some admin details but no further guidance. The server is a fresh install.
My problem is that I'm on Linux/OSX and don't want to run Windows aside from setting up after which I hope to be able to manage things through the web client.
I think there is an ESXi installation. This would be Version 6. How do I set up the web client?
I've installed vSphere Client on a local Windows VM.. not sure what to do with it though.
The documentation is pretty awful and there hasn't been much useful info on the net. I'm really stuck as I didn't set these up and haven't used servers like this before, so I have no context or understanding of the VMWare ecosystem beyond using a virtual machine locally! (even then I've preferred Virtualbox)
Any advice would be amazing
p.s accessing https://[ipaddress]/vsphere-client does not work. Produces a blank browser page... with no html served as an error
If you have the name of the server on which the VMs are stored, type this into the URL of a web browser then it gives you management options or alternatively use this login screen:

Unable to integrate CQ5.6.1 with Site Catalyst

I'm having difficulty in integrating AEM 5.6.1 with Site Catalyst. It allows me to connect in the configuration successfully, but does not work on the framework setup.
I've followed the standard procedure to connect AEM to SC and it accepts my login in the configuration, but fails on the framework set up with the browser message 'We were not able to login to SiteCatalyst. Please check your credentials and try again.'. Behind the scenes in the server log;
12.12.2014 14:10:06.967 *WARN* [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 [1418393406764] POST /libs/cq/analytics/sitecatalyst/service.json HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.analytics.sitecatalyst.impl.SitecatalystHttpClientImpl Data center 'https://api3.omniture.com/admin/1.3/rest/' responded with errors {"error":{"code":500,"message":"Internal Server Error"}}
12.12.2014 14:10:06.967 *ERROR* [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 [1418393406764] POST /libs/cq/analytics/sitecatalyst/service.json HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.analytics.sitecatalyst.impl.servlets.SitecatalystServlet Call to SiteCatalyst method 'Company.GetReportSuites' failed com.day.cq.analytics.sitecatalyst.SitecatalystException: not authenticated
I've tried accessing via the API Explorer and it works.
I've tried the troubleshooting guide without success.
I can log in to Site Catalyst, I'm an admin, I am in the web services access group.
I've tried using a clean install of CQ5.6.1 with geometrixx - it doesn't work either.
I've tried this from a server and from a localhost/dev machine with the same results. No proxy. I've even tried using the shared secret as the password but then it doesn't connect at all, and fails on the configuration screen.
What might cause this to fail?
If it doesn't work with a fresh install and Geometrixx, then it's probably an Adobe bug. That's typically the first thing support will ask you about.
I would also verify using Geometrixx Outdoors, or a more recent demo site, on your fresh install, just to ensure it's not an outdated ClientLib issue.
I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but honestly, I would approach the integration differently. I've worked with the AEM-SC framework and it's buggy at best. It's very finicky, it doesn't REALLY work the way the documentation claims, and it requires that you're very specific about what Clientlibs are on the page.
Moving forward, I think using Adobe Dynamic Tag Manager is the better approach, for many reasons. My understanding is that it's Adobe's recommendation as well. I'd consider moving to that. In AEM 5.6.1, you'll have to customize your integration with DTM, but it's not very hard.
Solution: Add a property on the configuration node for sitecatalyst: (eg. /etc/cloudservices/sitecatalyst/my-sc-configuration)
server=https://api.omniture.com/admin/1.2/rest/
it also seems to work with newer API versions such as https://api3.omniture.com/admin/1.3/rest/
It would appear that for 5.6.1 it ignores the OSGi configuration, at least for the configuration screens. With this extra property, the framework page loads without error and allows selection of the RSID.

Azure deployment versions

I will try to make it simplify. I am using windows azure cloud to host our web services and databases. and these web services are accessible via URL: "https://server.mydomain.com"
now we made a few major changes to our model and hence web services as a whole. This breaks the API interface for older users. Now we want to deploy the latest version on URL: "https://server.mydomain.com/v2" so that old users can still access the older version.
I searched around SO and other resources but i couldnt find a definite answer how to deploy new version without messing up the old version.
Anything in right direction will be helpful.
In one of the projects I was working on, we built in a versioning scheme on top of our Web API. We used this tutorial to get started. I would recommend starting there.
Sorry for the generic answer, if you post some more specifics I will make some updates.
I'd suggest to deploy separate cloud service and use "v2.server.mydomain.com"
