corrupted control file?

• Corrupt the control file

  Hello
  I try to simulate recovery scenarios. My Oracle database 11g is configured with two control files. I stopped the database and a corrupt control files by editing with random characters using a hex editor. When I started the database, everything is going like nothing happened. No warning, no errors, in Enterprise Manager the State control of the file is VALID. I opened the control file, but it is still published (so it has not been automatically replaced by the good, which is not a good thing anyway).
  Why is this happening? The system is unable to warn me if one of the control files is corrupt?
  
  Thank you

  Maybe you just edited a part that Oracle doesn't care much in normal conditions of use? Check the v$ archived_log, maybe you'll see your changes?

• Control file corruption

  Hello
  
  I use Oracle 11.2.0.1 server in windows 7 as my test environment. All my control files have corrupted and I have a physical backup of controlfile who was taken in the morning.

• Corrupt block is detected in the control file

  Hi all
  
  I have a scenario where I have set up regional advisory councils active / standby and I managed archive redo logs applied to sleep - everything was ok
  
  Versions - Oracle 11g R2, RHEL 5
  
  Scenario 1:
  Perfectly redo application log on the work of sleep when I don't create our software application tables using sql on the primary scripts until AFTER the stages of CAR/Dataguard completed successfully.
  
  
  
  Scenario 2:
  Redo log application does not work when I'm not running our sql scripts until I take a RMAN backup of the primary to be duplicated in the Standby
  
  Everything comes in the day before after the rman duplicate, archive logs is transferred, but now they are not applied.
  
  I see the ORA-00227: Corrupt block is detected in the control file: (block 1, block # 1) in the journal alerts when I put on standby in Recovery Mode
  
  My theory is that somehow our sql scripts are breaking my rman backups when I run them before creating a primary RMAN backup to load on Standby - I just need someone to indicate whether there is a possibility of their experience, if so I will contact the support of Oracle to continue the investigation. It's my first time working on CARS DG etc.

• strategy of redo and control files

  Excuse my ignorance in this area (not oracle or a DBA), but from a risk perspective, I read his best practices for storing a redundant copy of recovery logs and control files on a separate disk / server - for redundancy.

  However, if the server is a server database physical, with local storage (in which case files of database and the oracle software resides), no configuration of cluster if the server dies a sudden death, then what exactly are the newspapers redundant recovery and control of files will save you of? Is it to minimize the loss of data, or else (told you I wasn't a DBA or Oracle guru). If you back up your recovery connects dialy then I don't know what exactly the redundant copies really are for/record you leave?

  So if the server dies (and the storage is still ok) and then transport the storage to another server and you are in business again. Multiplexing or not does not change your ability to use another server.

  In a disaster situation, where you lose the server and the storage is also lost, so you have to go to a backup and multiplexing saves you from what it is because the backup has only 1 copy of the controlfile and archivelogs.

  If you get a logical corruption (IE a bug in the software) with controlfiles multiplex, then you're still screwed because all controlfiles are physical copies of each other, so all controlfiles have the same corruption. In this case, you must go to a good backup of the controlfile.

  Multiplexing allows you to save when you get corruption Physics (due to the corruption of storage) of your command multiplex or multiplex redo logs file, and so you can use the good copy of the file control or redo logs to continue without losing the validated data.

  Looks like your scene preclone directory is not correct (corrupted), and I think that it is because preclone does not run successfully.

  Either you follow the steps described in the following notes to change the existing to a new undo tablespace or run preclone and copy the files again.

• Placing the control in a custom control file

  Hi all

  I'm new to LabView and have a simple question. I customize an example of LV for my purpose. There is a custom control used in the example file. I'm setting up a new (combobox) control and want to place this control in the file of custom control so that I can move on to various sub - vi for various purposes (e.g. initialization).

  Chart attached shows the ComboBox (Model DUT) on a front panel and custom control file (TestStand UI Data.ctl). My questions are the following:

  1. What are these symbols with the pink arrow (that is the button stop/restart, etc...) in the TestStand UI Data.ctl file? (see attached diagram). They are symbol of data type of references?

  2. How can I place my combobox was forced TO model in the file of custom control so that I can pass through the different slot control file - vi? I tried to do a right-click on the control and use create-> constant or reference, but they don't it has not changed the pink arrow symbol element.

  I hope someone can help solve my problems. Thanks in advance.

  Yours,

  You do want to overwrite the "custom controls" that are part of LabVIEW.  However, you can create your own "custom" by a fall control, say, TestStand UI Data.ctl on your diagram, right click and choose Open Type Def (who opens the definition OR one you do want not change), make some additions or changes, then do a file/save under and save it in your project file with a custom name, that you make up.

  These pink arrow symbols are references - you can find them by looking in the Refnum palette.  I'm not sure what they are references to, however.

  As a suggestion, rather than send us just a picture with circled items, send the actual control so that we can watch and maybe tell you more details.

• Corrupt CAB file

  I am trying to install Windows Media Player 11 and make me an error message saing I have insufficient disk space to Exchange files or have a corrupted .cab file.  I don't have a problem with low disk space, so I think it has to do with the CAB file.  Also I am not able to install other programs beside the media player and need to update my drivers.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition.
  It's the exact error I get installing Media Player
  "Extraction of file failed. It is probably caused by low memory (low disk space for swap files) or corrupted Cabinet file. »

  Navigate to the click on the right from my computer to the disc, and then select Properties tools.   Run scandisk and fix all errors.   Then run Defrag.

  Then, if the source of Media Player is a DVD: wash the disc with warm water with a drop of washing dishes hand liwuid. Rinse with plenty of hot water and dry with a clean, lint cloth. If this is fropm a file DL, re - download.

  Restart and try again.

• Outlook Express - repair/restoration of corrupted DBX files

  Hello

  I recently lost a number of local folders in my Outlook Express (OE) I found in the store DBX. However OE does not read/open them very probably because they are corrupt. It is apparently a common problem.

  I searched and found a few tools that claim to repair/recover corrupted DBX and I tried three demo versions. None of them were able to repair corrupt DBX files. One of the tools has been honest enough to admit that some files may be irremediably, and he provided a full scan of the drive that found a number of lost/deleted messages, some of which were originally in the records the of OE that I had lost. Although no no trouble so far, no cost using the versions demo.

  A number of experts suggested a tool called DBXPRESS claiming to recover the corrupted DBX files. Unfortunately, no demo version is available as proof of effectiveness before buy you.

  Are repairable corrupted DBX files, as claimed by the softwar ecompanies and if so, how, and with what software?
  As it is a common and potentially disastrous problem, not Microsoft should be persuaded to provide a radical solution to avoid a manual tedious backup process.

  All views / advice is much appreciated.

  Concerning

  Paul

  Outlook Express is an e-mail and news client supplied with Internet Explorer. Outlook Express is a different application from MS Outlook. The two programs do not share a common code base, but share a common architectural philosophy. Outlook Express uses the Windows address book to store contact information and integrates tightly with it. Microsoft Internet Mail and News was a freeware e-mail and news client and ancestor of Outlook Express.

  The executable file of Outlook Express, msimn.exe, is a remnant of the era Internet Mail and News. Internet Mail and News managed only plain text and rich text email ( RTF), lack of HTML e-mail message.

  Outlook Express has been subject to a number of problems which can corrupt its files database, especially when the database increases volume due to the increase in number of stored emails and during compaction of the database.

  The dbx file Corruption can occur due to these reasons:

  1 MSIMN has caused an IPF in module Msoe.dll.

  2 MSIMN caused a page fault in module Msoe.dll at address.

  3 outlook Express could not be started. It cannot be installed correctly. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you're not out of memory.

  4 outlook Express could not be started because Msoe.dll could not be initialized. Outlook Express is not installed properly.

  Outlook Express stores e-mail messages in the databases that have a .dbx file extension. Each folder in Outlook Express (same subfolders) has a database that are associated with; so if you have 20 folders you have twenty databases. The databases have the same name files so the Inbox folder has a database called Inbox.dbx.

  In these cases over corruption is probably in the file "Folders.dbx". It's the main index more of the entirety of the record Store and without it, Outlook Express is unable to do anything, in this case, the only solution is to delete the file corrupted in the storage folder. This will allow Outlook Express to start and to build a new "Folders.dbx" by re-indexing of all the DBX files it finds in the storage folder.

  For lost information, follow these steps:

  1. recreate your e-mail folders hierarchy by dragging files in place in the list of folders. Note that any folder that you've created to group sub files but that does not itself contain messages will not appear in the list of the files and must be recreated.

  2 re - download the list of groups of discussion of each news account.

  3 reset your subscribed discussion groups and re-download the messages.

  4. set options on IMAP folder synchronization and newsgroup.

  5. modify a message rule that moves or copies the messages in folders other than the Inbox.

  Here are the steps from which you can return the loss of information. And if your information not recovered again then it could be a serious problem. In this case, go for the recovery software to recover your data from dbx files. I can send you a link that can surely help you recover your lost data. Try this link:

  Good bye.

• After 13 updated both the system rebooted and now as he begins to install XP it autorestarts. It will not recover to the last known good config and delivers a message of corrupted config file.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Frank

  You will share exactly what the message of the corrupt config file says?  My crystal ball takes off the second Wednesday of each month.
  If your system reboots continuously, the next time the system reboots, start tapping the F8 key until you see the menu Boot Options Advanced XP.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  This will display the error message that you don't see when the system restarts.  This is what Windows is supposed to do when there a failure - it is supposed to automatically restart.  The error you see on the screen has your clues...

  If you do not see the menu Options start Advancded or you do not have to turn it off automatic restart on option system in the list of choices, you need to try again until you do.  Start typing the F8 key earlier and more frequently as your system begins to come alive.  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again.
  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)
  ?
  Most of the time (in recent memory) when there is a problem after installing Microsoft updates, the problem is because the computer was somehow afflicted before/when updates have been installed and updates simply bring to the surface a problem that was not evident before.
  If the last thing people remember is to install the updates from MS, it's am understandable reaction in some way involve updates for updating the post problems when things don't work properly afterwards and especially during the next reboot.
  Another reaction is to try to remember all of the updates you have installed and somehow uninstall the updates one of the XP Recovery Console until you find one who is 'responsible '.  Unless you noted all issues of update, it would be more difficult, but not impossible.  It is unlikely that practical or useful advice in most situations, but you can of course try it.
  Security updates sometimes holes patch XP and when security holes are patched (and XP is "tighter"), affliction can no longer do what is done, things to happen are no longer allowed to happen as a result of the strengthening of security, the system has now a new problem (especially when it initializes more) , and it seems that install updates broken system while in fact, it's just a coincidence.
  Another thing that can happen is that the Microsoft updates will change or update certain critical files on the XP system.  Depending on what your software antivirus or antimalware software is, these programs can interpret the new or updated files to day as being a threat or somehow infected and quarantine (effectively delete) files it thinks are wary.
  The next time you restart your system, you'll have some sort of a problem, or you do not start if the files are missing.  Once more, the problem is not with the updates, it's another condition on your system with your antivirus or antimalware programs you beautiful little (they could be aware of what like the new look of Microsoft files).
  You may have seen some or heard talk about some of these kinds of people, but not too intellectually stimulating general or scenarios of error after update:
  NTLDR is missing or corrupt, ntdetect.com is missing or damaged, ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged, hal.dll is missing or corrupt, etc.
  These types of errors are usually very easy to fix, but if you don't know what's happening, the temptation is to do a repair installation, or if none of these kinds of things are really necessary, completely reinstall your XP.  I have never done a system restore, a repair install or reinstalled XP in my life to solve any problem (but I did the process for practice).  These things are simply not options with me.
  Given that Microsoft sends many updates on the second Tuesday of each month (they call it "Patch Tuesday"), this means that the or to the second Wednesday of each month there is an increase of 'problems' in the field - in particular the types of problems "my computer does not start after you install the updates from Microsoft.  That day is also known as "exploit Wednesday".
  You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_Tuesday
  It is likely that if you have a problem like this or after the installation of MS updates, someone else has also had the same problem and understood what to do about it.  A problem here, is that no one knows what is your problem.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• Corrupted FAT file

  Found a way to retrieve all THE data before formatting.  Years ago I bought Get Back Data (FAT 32) of http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-downloads.htm

  I have installed the software, robbed the disk and after reading and diganosed everything (about 25 minutes), I managed to copy on my local disk.

  In the case where someone crosses it, it worked great.

  I opened outlook a few days ago and received the error msg telling you that the .pst file is damaged and you need to run the Inbox Repair tool.  When I clicked 'OK' she keeps just for Outlook.  I tried the tool and could not find even with checked hidden files.  I stumbled upon a 3rd party recovery tool and he ran b/c it is 'free '.  I was joking b/c they wanted $130 after getting all my files and I don't know actually, they recovered their.  I then tried to find scanpst.exe on my installation diskettes file, but I have not found them.  Then I downloaded the scanpst.exe online file and tried to run.  I get an error message immediately and it won't work.  I looked at hundreds of forums and posts, and nothing works.
