• Installing Oracle - RPM problem

  Hello guys,.

  When I install my oracle database, I have some problems with RPM, for example:

• Oracle ADF: Problem with display with component LOV selectManyChoice/CheckBox values

  Hi all

  I use Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.7. I want to use the selectManyChoice component in my requirement. When you use the same thing, I have observed that selectMany components as a component of selectManyChoice/selectManyCheckBox are not filling LOV VO values in drop-down list. Instead it displays the value VO destination attribute values.

  For example,.

  I have EmpVO and DeptVO. Now, I want to join LOV "DepartmentId" attribute of EmpVO using DeptVO as sourceVO. After this operation, if I drag and attribute DepartmentId of Drop EmpVO as consisting of selectOneChoice , when running, we will be able to see DepartmentName from drop down list I chose DepartmentName as attribute and departmentId as ListAttribute in LOV.

  To create the SelectManyChoice link, if I drag and drop the EmpVO instance to the page, we can find SelectManyChoice option under the "Multiple Sélection" option. As soon as the SelectManyChoice option, we will be able to see the window of EditListingBinding as shown below where we are asked to map baseAttr and displayattribute for this component. This means that he has not considered LOV which we show you. To view Department name in the drop-down list, we can select departmentVO instance 'Source database', while in the Base and display attribute we can map the DepartmentId and departmentName. By doing this, we can achieve my schenario for display in the menu dropdown. The problem is that this element of will will bind with DepartmentVOIterator and no matter what I select component selectMany, I take and wherever I need to set the value on the target attribute programmatically.

  

  Is there a declarative way to display the selectMany component that uses LOV as a source in the view of value in drop-down list? Please suggest.

  Thanks in advance.

  Praveen.

  Hi William,.

  Thank you for your response. one who shared is related to the display of values such as MultiSelect component. But my requirement is to have combination of InputText and SelectManyChoice so that the user will have two entry key in place. So whenever we enter the code value in InputText, the corresponding value in the SelectManyChoice box should be checked [some]. This combination both annd InputText SelectManyChoice I need to create a component.

  I created the component as described below.

  I created DeclarativeComponent which is having an InputText and component SelectManyChoice. Component of SelectManyChoice I'm filling ViewObject value programmatically. On the selection of any value in the drop-down list SelectManyChoice value changeListener I get selected value and conversion Stringg and affecting InputText to show the selected value. Also in reverse ie. case, whenever I enter the correct value in the InputText, valueChangeEvent, I am taking and convert these values to the list and setting the value property of SelectManyChoice in order to make the selection.

  And to make this component as a single component, I used contentStyle = ' width: 0px "to hide the box InputText of SelectManyChoice as shown below.

  

  Thank you, regards,

  Praveen.

• On the use of PIVOT problem

  Hi all.

  I use of Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 and the following query:

  SELECT *.

  Of

  (SELECT code_combination_id, period_name, nvl (sum (begin_balance_dr + period_net_dr - begin_balance_cr - period_net_cr), 0))

  I always get the error "Missing key word".

  Can someone please give me a hand on this?

  Octavio

  Hello

  because your statement is not complete, missing the PIVOT 'FOR' clause.

  that is to say:

  Select * from)

  Select times_purchased, state_code

  customers t

  )

  Pivot

  (

  Count (state_code)

• Oracle performance problem

  Oracle: 11.2 EE.
  OS: RHEL 5.x
  Storage: VNX SAN.
  
  We have tried to identify a problem of performance for our ETL process before going live.
  We use external tables with data extraction and loading pump.
  
  On server 1 (Dual Core QA)
  Our etl process runs 15% faster.
  
  On the server 2 (Quad Core Production)
  
  Our test includes the creation of a database in production and by running the etl process. We moved the Lun containing production data files for testing and using the same init.ora files, we have brought to the top of the database on server1. We find that server1 performs much faster than on server2.
  We even passed on the HBA from one server to another, to eliminate any problem of connectivity with the material. Even with that, we are at a time where server2 running slower than server 1.
  
  We have reduced to the following in the AWR report (do not know how to post the report as a whole). It seems that the readings are much faster on the server 1 Server 2.

  Hello

  I saw cela previously, where, from a CPU more fast speed of the slowest to the although it causes many, unique process threaded to operate more slowly. You do not have as much energy for this simple to use threaded process. Even if she was not maxing out the CPU before, it could be present on this single thread.

  It is not really the answer but if everyhting else is the same and I mean identical, then it must be the only change and, therefore, the culprit. In this case, you will need to parallelise the process.

  See you soon,.

• Configuration of the database link Oracle/MySQL problems

  I watched everything I could find on the mistakes I see but I am still at a loss. Basically, I created a link between a DB oracle database (11.2.0.2.0, 64-bit) running on linux and a mysql DB (5.0.45 64) also under linux. The version of the mysql ODBC driver is 5.1.8 - 1 (64-bit) and the version of unixODBC is 2.2.11 - 7.1 (also 64 bit). isql can connect and provides correct results.

  as number of columns is affected, it could be a problem with your odbc manager/odbc is not not fully 64 - bit compatible driver. You don't have compile the ODBC driver manager / ODBC driver manually or did you use a precompiled version?

  Most of the rivers pre-compiled follow the 32-bit ODBC standard rather than 64-bit. To support full 64-bit, you must ensure
  CFLAGS = ""-DBUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE ""
  and
  CFLAGS = ""-DBUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE ""
  are used to compile a 64-bit driver.

  As an alternative, you can specify in your file init Bridge: HS_FDS_SQLLEN_INTERPRETATION = 32
  forcing 64-bit DG4ODBC not to use the standard 64-bit ODBC and follow the 32-bit declarations.

• Oracle 10g - problem with "DELETE from TABLE WHERE ID in (1,2,3)" (use cfqueryparam)

  Hello, everyone.

  I have problems with executing a DELETE statement on an Oracle 10 g server.

  DELETE 
  FROM tableA
  WHERE ID in (1,2,3)
  

  If there is only a single ID for the IN clause, it works.  But if more than one ID is provided, I get an error message "SQL command" not correctly completed.  Here's the query as CF:

  DELETE 
  FROM TRAINING
  WHERE userID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#trim(form.userID)#">
       AND TRAINING_ID in <cfqueryparam value="#form.trainingIDs#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" list="yes">
  

  Someone at - it works with Oracle that can help me with this?  I'm a developer experienced in MS - SQL; Oracle is new to me.

  Thank you

  ^_^

  So much worse... a colleague just told me I should always use parentheses around the values in the IN clause.

• Oracle export problem

  Oracle AIX 5.2 9.2
  
  While performing a full export, during the process, I get the error message below.
  
  exp userid = system / * file=/dump/dump.dmp log=/dump/dump.log full = y buffer = 5000000
  
  EXP-00002: error in writing to the export file
  EXP-00002: error writing export fileerror closing export file /dump/dump.dmp
  EXP-00000: export completed unsuccessfully
  
  Now, I tried to export this unique table and this works, if the table is not the issue. So I thought it might be the formidable problem of gig 2 Unix, but then I realized the step export fails, the dump file is already at 63,88 Go.
  I can also confirm that I am not short of space where I'm export dumping and I also check the ulimit Unix which is
  
  Time (seconds) unlimited
  Leader (Blocks) unlimited
  Data (KBytes) unlimited
  Stack (KBytes) 32768
  Memory (KBytes) unlimited
  Coredump (Blocks) 2097151
  Nofiles (descriptors) 2000
  
  Any ideas?

  Hello
  If the export fails when the file is 63,88 GB, there maybe a 64 GB limit.
  I could not find any information related to the export file size limit, but it may be related to operating system or Oracle (data files are limited to 4 M * block_size, i.e. 64GB if the block_size is 16K).

  Try exporting to more than one file:

  exp userid=system/ file=/dump/dump1.dmp,/dump/dump2.dmp,/dump/dump3.dmp filesize=60G log=/dump/dump.log full=y buffer=5000000

• Oracle password problem

  I inherrited an application that uses a 8.1.7 database that is running on an old server which is soon to be decommissioned. So, I tried to that move on a supported version of Oracle running on a server more up-to-date. The problem I have is that the app uses MicroSoft IIS to connect to a schema with a password is encoded in a dll, despite trying various password crackers available via the web site of Pete Finnigans hard, I couldn't crack this. I could go from 8.1.7 to 10g release 1, if it wasn't for the fact that I don't have 10g release 1 and it can no longer be download from OTN, nor do I have the installation for 8.1.7 kit. This leaves me with legacy import and export, could someone please correct me if my interpretation is correct, in that: -.
  
  1. to perform any kind of import to the destination schema must exist first
  
  2 import into an existing schema does not reset the password of this schema to what it was in the source database.

• Backup.bat Oracle Xe problem

  Hello.
  
  I'm a complete novice when it comes to the Oracle.
  I have Oracle Xe installed on my laptop.
  This laptop is running wth Microsoft XP Professional SP2 applied.
  It works, I connected with the SQLdeveloper tool.
  I've created tables, users, views, synonyms and inserted data.
  The SQL world turns very well now.
  
  But I am a novice and a fool.
  I would like to back up my data when I goof, I can restore.
  I tried to back up two different ways.
  Neither have worked.
  An answer for either would be great.
  An answer for both would be fantastic!
  
  I can connect to the database through sqlplus than any of several users:
  the user of the system that was installed during the installation,
  the human resources user that was installed during the installation,
  the northwind user that I place.
  
  (#1).
  I looked online and found information on rman.
  I can start rman from the command prompt.
  But I can't the ' connect target / "(according to the instructions online)
  I get an "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" error.
  I tried "target xe", "target", "target system@xe" and so on.
  I created a user with all privileges checked.
  It gives me the same error.
  Help!
  
  (#2).
  There is a backup.bat file included with Oracle Xe.
  I ran that and got errors saying that "Settings\Temp\backup_rmanlog.sql" was not planned.
  I assumed it was because of the value of TEMP.
  I copied backup.bat to dmhup.bat and made changes to it.
  I have saved the current value of TEMP and TMP.
  I put the TEMP and TMP to C:\Temp
  I made that C:\Temp exist and that it can write.
  I ran my script.
  Now, he waits for a while, and then returns the following error message:
  ==================== ERROR =============================
  The backup of the database failed.
  Unknown log mode: SP2-0640:.
  Log file is SP2-0640:.
  ==================== ERROR =============================
  Press a key to continue...
  
  When I look in the log in C:\Temp files all say "SP2-0640: not connected.
  All .sql files begin with ' connect / as sysdba;
  It seems to me that this connection is the problem.
  Help!
  
  It seems that two backups are facing problems of connection.
  I looked at the Xe admin page and I have no sysdba user.
  There is a sys user, but I am reluctant to change the password.
  The database works now, and I don't want to break!
  
  I know I am doing something stupid here.
  Can you tell me what it is please?
  
  Thank you
  
  Dan Hunter

  Hmm,
  Is your user member of the local administrator group account? If this isn't the case, then you can not connect without specifying a password - you will need to connect like this:

  sqlplus SYS/password@XE AS SYSDBA
  

  RMAN, you will need to do it like this:

  rman target SYS/password@XE
  

  If you have the right keys in your registry, you need not specify ORACLE_SID. Those would be under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE. But I advise you to install a client appropriate Oracle, in this way, you can configure the service names to connect to all your instances Oracle server, the remote and.

  As for not being able to install Linux - there is no need to install it as your main operating system. You're better off installing XE (prefer the universal version) on a virtual machine (I use VirtualBox on my laptop, it's free and works very well) with Centos 5.3 (free clone of RHEL). Then simply install SQL Developer on your Windows operating system (no need to install a client, JDBC does the trick) and you have everything you need. RMAN is accessible from the command line on Linux guest - ensure just a Bug in the script of /etc/init.d/oracle-xe - proposed solution How to correctly set the user oracle Linux environment in order to get a better experience out of it.
  I do not have access to a virtual machine that is running a Windows XP client right now - we'll see what results you get out of these operating instructions.
  Believe me, by installing and running Oracle are ALWAYS painful for a novice. And a few versions back it was harder.
  Kind regards

  As you can see, it says not sufficient privileges and asks me to enter a user name and password.
  I get the same thing on a Windows XP Professional 32 bit or install a Windows XP Home Edition.
  While I was able to connect with the sqlplus command, RMAN will not connect.
  I did not find RMAN to connect using > ANY< userid="" or="" password="">
  In fact, just flat RMAN tells me to bend!

  I noticed your comment about the ORACLE_SID.
  I see that in my environment variables.
  That's what I see on the XP Pro 64 machine:

  I'll try setting ORACLE_SID XE and see what makes a difference.
  No, error messages, and results.
  Tried it on XP Pro 32, same results machine.

  I worked on AIX, UNIX, and Linux in the past.
  I know some differences in the environments.
  Tell me if it works on Linux isn't really the same as saying that it works under XP.

  You have a virtual of Windows XP machine?
  You can try installing Oracle XE here?
  RMAN or sqlplus connect by using the same commands?
  Or are there additional things that need to be done?

  My machine Windows XP 64 is not Windows XP 64 of my choice.
  I need the following Oracle's SOA and in need of SUSE, Redhat Enterprise Edition or Windows.
  Since I did not "have a copy of SUSE, who was going out.
  It wouldn't install in Fedora 7, 8, 9 or 10.
  I've tried, believe me, I tried!
  I tried to install Redhat Enterprise, but he simply didn't like my hardware.
  I've never seen electronic hair balls of this color, size or consistency in my life.
  I found myself in the land of Microsoft.
  And the SOA installation failed with an error with a bad version of PSAPI.dll being installed.

  Having said that, during this process I learned a lot about Windows and Oracle.

  I am installing OracleXEuniv.exe version 10.2.1015
  Downloaded directly from Oracle's web site.

  I want to thank you for your help.
