  Close on your attempt to paste the code.
  Put the tag after the code as well. And I mean here the code word wrapped with {}

  Then in the text window when you write, it would look like this (without space after the Word code)
  {code}
  declare
  i the number;
  Begin
  dbms_output.put_line ('dbms_output.put_line (l_xmltype.) Extract('/HTML/DIV/table/TBODY/tr/TD[2]/text()').getStringVal ());
  end;
  {code}

  that would translate to

  declare
     i number;
  Begin
     dbms_output.put_line('dbms_output.put_line(l_xmltype.extract('/html/div/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/text()').getStringVal());
  end;
  

  The text in the first example has the same size of spacing as the second example HTML cache multiple spaces, so they are different.

• Select dbms_metadata.get_dependent_ddl fails with ORA-31604 still exist for the object

  Hello

  In the DEPENDENCIES of DBA, I can see that I have (seen here) according to some a table objects:

  -SQL > select type, name

  -2 from dba_dependencies where REFERENCED_OWNER = upper ('stuff')

  --3 and REFERENCED_name = upper ('st_tab') and type = "VIEW";

  -NAME OF THE OWNER TYPE

  If I make a direct call on dbms_metadata.get_ddl ('DISPLAY', 'STTAB_4MV_VW', 'STUFF'), it works fine.

  Everyone has seen this behavior before? (tried this code on 10g and 11g)

  Thank you very much.

  Kind regards

  SEB

  For some objects, it works (triggers, index), but for others (views, procedures, packages), it still fails with ORA 31604.

  Exactly! That's what he should do. Dependent on DOF is for objects that are actually part of the table.

  If I make a direct call on dbms_metadata.get_ddl ('DISPLAY', 'STTAB_4MV_VW', 'STUFF'), it works fine.

  Exactly! That's how you get the DDL for views and other types of distinct objects. Provide you with the type of object as the first parameter.

  Everyone has seen this behavior before? (tried this code on 10g and 11g)

  Sure! This is a normal behavior.

  See chapter doc DBMS_METADATA packages and Types

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/AppDev.111/b28419/d_metada.htm#i1019414

  Notes on use

  • These functions allow you to extract metadata for objects with a single call. They encapsulate calls to OPEN , SET_FILTER , and so on. The function you use depends on the characteristics of the type of object and if you want the DDL or XML.

  • • GET_xxxis used to fetch named objects, especially schema objects (tables, views).

    • GET_DEPENDENT_xxxis used to extract dependent objects (audits, grants of the object).
    • GET_GRANTED_xxxis used to retrieve issued objects (System of subsidies, scholarships of role).
  • For certain types of objects, you can use more than one function. For example, you can use GET_xxx to fetch a name index, or GET_DEPENDENT_xxx to fetch the same index by specifying the table on which it is defined.

  See also table 74-11 in this doc for a table showing the types of objects.

• Binds the exportXFAData(); method for the saveAs event

  I have an XFA form that was built with LiveCycle and I try to write javascript to Adobe who will export the form data to an XML file whenever a user manually saves the file in Acrobat. Preferably, this feature is easily sharable, because I have clients who need to have this ability.

  I'm a novice, but it seems that the interactive objects are grey and so I can not add a custom button. That's why I hope to link the exportXFAData(); method for the saveAs event. When a user does CTRL + S or file > save (sub)... the XML should be exported to the desktop.

  It seems that I have to use the exportXFAData() or exportAsXFDF() method.  I found something that says: " it is a very simple process to do this, use the method saveAs Doc object... " and copy the following code:

  
  

  this.saveAs ("/ c/temp/test.xml", "com.adobe.acrobat.xml - 1-00");

  I do not know where to write this code, or if it must be adapted (not to mention that the path) to accomplish what I asked above.

  Thank you very much,

  
  

  
  

  Carl

  
  

  It does not export form data, as far as I know, but another schema. There is a different method for acroforms export but I don't know for XFA forms. You should check the reference XFA JavaScript, not google.

  The example you found is not in any way binding to the SaveAs event. Rather, it uses a special feature of the document.saveAs method that allows you to save/export other formats instead of PDF, such as file options > save as. The code generally added to a button, but do not work (see below). I don't know if you can run this in an event WillSave or similar, that; s a separate exercise.

  Don't forget to read the XFA JavaScript document for this method since it will have security restrictions designed to stop incorporating any kind of back up/export to a file - because think havoc if a PDF file that you have downloaded begins to silently save/export the files to your computer. Do not try to use acroform rather documentation! And I see that what you quoted DC Acrobat SDK Documentation applies to the acroforms.

  For more specific help, I suggest the LiveCycle Designer forum. We are dealing here Acroforms.

  Published by: user11211037 on December 6, 2009 00:54

  Syntax and Description

  SCHEMAS = schema_name [,...]

  If you have the IMP_FULL_DATABASE role, you can use this parameter to perform a schema mode import by specifying one single schema other than your own or a list of schemas to import. First, schemas were created (if they do not already exist), including the system and the role of subsidies, the history of password and so on. Then all the objects contained in the imported patterns. Unprivileged users can only specify their own schemas. In this case, no information about the schema definition is imported, only the objects it contains.

  Hope you are clear.

• Cannot activate Windows 8 error "the Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not to own pieces."

  Original title: invalid product key :(

  Today, I tried to load my computer and was faced with the blue screen error short story that my hard drive some how became corrupt and had no partition. Fortunately, I had a friend who told me step by step how to solve this problem using my hard drive in my brothers pc. When it came to reinstalling windows I booted the computer directly from my windows disc 8 and when I tried to activate the key once I was ready to I received an error Code: 0xC004F061Description: The Software Licensing service determind that specified only usable product key for the upgrade not for own pieces. Means that I can not use the key I bought and must buy a new one? It seems really unfair because I've already spent money on the upgrade.

  You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

  If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• Invalid configuration for the device 3

  Hi all

  I have set up a lab nested with three hosts esxi and two warehouses of data connected with the Microsoft iscsi target server. I know nested vm is not supported, but I'm trying to implement this workshop because I support a real VMware environment and I wish I could test some things before I break anything, so it's important. I get this error when you try to create a virtual machine "invalid configuration for the device 3.  Someone knows how can I know where is the problem?

  Thank you

  I think I can find the answer, it seems that it could be a windows problem causing data corruption. Somehow I created a VM but get all kinds of error trying to create an another VM.  Iscsi targets set up using windows server 2012 and it seems that there is a fix from Microsoft below which deals with corruption LUNs in windows 2012.  I have not yet tested, but this seems to be the right direction. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2908783

• DEU-00014: invalid value for the setting, "include".

  Hi, I need to do an export of paintings from a schema and a particular query executed will apply to all the specified tables in "INCLUDE = TABLE: '('TBL1', 'TBL2') IN' in the command expdp.»
  
  Now, I get the question in this setting INCLUDE. I have about 200 paintings to be included and I add this parameter INCLUDE in a separate parameter with all table names 200 file in Informatics and with the help of this parameter file in the expdp command.
  
  Error message I get:
  DEU-00014: invalid value for the setting, "include".
  
  When I use the same process for 2 tables, this works very well. I think that there is a limit to the number of characters that can be used in the INCLUDE parameter. If so, then how do I use expdp to select only those 200 tables of 500 paintings in my diagram. I'd appreciate any help on this. Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm sure that the limit is 4000 characters, but there are fairly simple workaround.

  Create the table my_tabs (a varchar2 (30));
  insert into my_tabs values ('your_table_name');
  Repeat this step for each of your 200 tables

  include = TABLE: "in ((SELECT from MY_TABS)) '"

  You may need to mess you with the quote, but the value you were using is just an expression. It is only by using a different expression.

• I need to create a table of contents in iPages but I want only one word for the title, not the line of holes. Or, how can I change the contents of the table? Thank you!

  I need to create a table of contents in iPages but I want only one word for the title, not the line of holes. Or, how can I change the contents of the table? Thank you!

  Yes, you can have a one word title, by assigning a paragraph style title to this one word. No, you cannot change the text in a Table of contents, but you can change paragraph style font attributes (line) and add for example, a head of points between the types of OCD paragraph and page numbers. No part of the table of contents will not provide hyperlinks in exported PDF documents.

  When you look up in the menu bar, you can see the word iPages, or simply Pages. There is no product of iPages.

That means that I have to load Vista on the new hard drive, and then update? Both for the end user (paying customer) hostile.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
