Startup and shutdown scripts for Oracle R12 in Windows XP
I have successfully installed R12.1.1 in Windows XP and connected to the Vision with no problems. But after restarting my PC, I am unable to restart (I don't know how to restart) services.I see the other threads that talk about the same scripts in Linux environment.
If anyone knows - how to start and stop the services of R12 in the Windows environment, please let us know.
Thank you.

Problem of startup and shutdown classes
Hello
I'm starting a demon when starting the server.
I have defined start and stop classes and deployed the .jar as a shared library (from JDeveloper)
But when he starts throws ClassNotFoundException.
What else is missing?
I am using weblogic 10.3.
Thanks in advanceThere are various options available as the...
Option-1). Make a pot of your startup and shutdown classes and then put them in the
\lib Or
Option-2). you will find in your servers as 'startWebLogic.cmd' or 'startWebLogic.sh"variable Classpath StartScript... you can add it
Example: part of above Script code
Set DOMAIN_HOME = C:\bea103\user_projects\domains\7001_Domain
for %% in ('DOMAIN_HOME %'), set DOMAIN_HOME = %% ~ fsi
Call "% DOMAIN_HOME%\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd" % *.
Set JAVA_HOME = c:\bea103\jrockit_160_05
Set SAVE_JAVA_OPTIONS = % JAVA_OPTIONS
Set SAVE_CLASSPATH = % CLASSPATH; C:\MyJars\myStartupAndShutDown.jar;
Or
Option-3). in "setDomainEnv.sh"(UnixBased OS) or "setDomainEnv.cmd' (WINDOWS)".the PRE_CLASSPATH=C:\MyJars\myStartupAndShutDown.jar value;

original title: background logon of windows vista I do not see this background image instead, I see a solid blue color during startup and shutdown
I use a laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit sp2
After turning on the computer laptop, I get a prompt to enter the password at this point, I would usually get a background image and the same background image appeared when I stopped
I do not see this background image instead, I see a blue solid color when you start and stop as the background image has been replaced by a blue color

You can try the steps and check if you are able to see the background on the logon screen.
a. Click Start, and then type gpedit.msc
b. navigate to Computer Configuration and go to administrative templates and go to System.
c. go to connection and set the "bottom always use custom logon" to activate.
d. create a folder named C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds
e. put the file you want, and then name it backgroundDefault.jpg
f. check your other background for the dimensioning of the info files -
Why must we cygwin for Apps R12 on windows?
Hello
Can anyone shed some light
-Why must we cygwin for Apps R12 on windows?
What kind of activities need cygwin to R12 Apps.
-sasiHi Sasi;
You must use mkstoolkit or cywgwin to join coz of windows EBS from to can run some perl and can also use a command like kill, ps, ls etc... Also need level apps this program allows to compile something inside.
Please see:
The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU for Microsoft Windows tools. They run thanks to the Cygwin library which provides the POSIX system calls and wait for these programs.
With these tools installed, it is possible to write console Windows or GUI applications that make use of significant parts of the POSIX API. As a result, it is possible to easily port many Unix programs without the need for any significant changes in their source code. This includes the configuration and most GNU software available (including the packages included with the Cygwin development tools themselves) as well as many BSD tools and packages (including OpenSSH). Even if the development tools are little or not useful to you, you can have an interest in the many standard POSIX utilities provided with the package. It can be used among the Unix shells provided like bash, tcsh or zsh, as well as the standard Windows shell if you owe for a sad reason.

Automation of database startup and shutdown of AIX for several databases
Hi I'm 9i running two databases with oracle different holmes on an AIX server.
Now to implement the automation of start and stop database, I found the oracle on http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/post-inst.htm#i1035384 documentation.
I'm not sure about step 3
3. Add the dbstart script in the file/etc/inittab:
# mkitab ' oradb:2:wait: / bin/su oradb - c | ' / $ORACLE_HOMES/bin/dbstart.
For example my ORACLE_HOME for the 01 database is /ora_01/product/9.2
and the ORACLE_HOME for the 02 database is /ora_02/product/9.2
I have 2 entries in the initab?
mkitab ' oradb:2:wait: / bin/su oradb-c|/ora_01/product/9.2/bin/dbstart.
mkitab ' oradb:2:wait: / bin/su oradb-c|/ora_02/product/9.2/bin/dbstart.
Thank youHi br00klynZ00
No doubt dumm, just stupid answers.
Yes, we should do as root. You are a substitute to oracle ' su - oracle ' so no worries.
Can we consider this question as answered? ;-)

Model reusable SQL Oracle to create a DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle database
Hello
I have an obligation to set up a model of Oracle SQL to create the Scripts DDL/DML reusable for Oracle databases.
Only the Oracle DBA will run scripts permissions is not a problem.
The workflow for any DOF is as follows:-
(1) new table
a. check whether the table exists in the views system/admin.
b. If the table exists then give message "Table exists".
c. If the table does not exist then run DDL code
(2) add the column
a. check if the column exists for a given table of the system/admin views
b. If the column exists in the specified table.
B1. backup table.
B2. ALTER table alter column
B3. check data or execute convert dml sauvegardΘ to the new change script.
c. If the column does not exist
C1. backup table
C2. ALTER table add column
C3. Run dml to populate the column with the default value.
The DML scripts are to populate the base tables with the data required for business operations.
(3) addition of new line
a. check if the line exists by comparing the old values of each column with the new values to be added for the new record.
b. If there is, to give message line is
c. If not exists, add the new record.
(4) update existing record (we createtime columns in these tables as well as changes can be tracked)
a. check if the row exists using the primary key.
b. If there is.
B1. off the record by using the "active" column of the table
B2. Add new record with the necessary changes.
c. If does not exist, add the new record with the necessary changes.
Could you please help with some ideas that can get this done with precision?
I tried several ways, but I am not able to set up something that meets all the requirements.
Thank youIf it helps at all. Sometimes we have a requirement for a DDL statement to be rerunable and her only error if something completely unexpected happens.
It's a little monstrous, but basically, we wrap all DDL in a dynamic statement and capture errors that would indicate that the DDL script has already been run:
Here's a bit of a model:
declare w_ddl varchar2(32767); begin begin -- dbms_output.put_line('Creating table TABLE_NAME'); -- w_ddl := 'CREATE TABLE MY_SCHEMA.TABLE_NAME ( COLUMN_1 DATE NOT NULL ,COLUMN_2 VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL ,COLUMN_3 DATE )'; -- execute immediate w_ddl; -- dbms_output.put_line('Successfully created table TABLE_NAME'); -- exception when others then if sqlcode = -955 then dbms_output.put_line('Table Already exists.'); else dbms_output.put_line('creation of table TABLE_NAME failed:'); dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm); raise; end if; end; begin -- dbms_output.put_line('Creating unique primary key constraint for TABLE_NAME'); -- w_ddl := 'ALTER TABLE MY_SCHEMA.TABLE_NAME ADD ( CONSTRAINT TABLE_NAME PRIMARY KEY (TABLE_NAME_ID) USING INDEX)'; -- execute immediate w_ddl; -- dbms_output.put_line('Successfully created primary key on TABLE_NAME_ID'); -- exception when others then if sqlcode = -02264 then dbms_output.put_line('constraint already exists.'); else dbms_output.put_line('creation of primary key failed:'); dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm); raise; end if; END; <
> It works well with our scripts to autmoated and help us when we iterate through development and back in if needed test environments.
In this way, we can add the DDL statements to the deployment script and run the script again without error to set the database to the State required without having to run the newly created statement only.
Sometimes this approach translates into a creation followed a statement alter table statement to add a column, but the end result of the script is always the same, and the deployment script can be controlled at source between iterations of development that is without having to restore the ddl changes to test the modified DDL script.
hope that gives you some ideas.

My awk file (line numbers for the notes below - don't include them):
01:BEGIN { prevline = "";} 02:03:/Completed: alter database close/ {print prevline,FS,$0;}04:05:{prevline = $0;}

(2) the /search chain / line 03 search marker in the file for a stop, and then performs the requested action (print the time that was in the previous line and then this line; use FS (the field to the awk - space normally separator) as a separator
(3) on line 05 is a statement that we do on each line - is remembered in case it is the timestamp for the closure.Now, you can include several cases corner for closures by adding several models of research etc. For more information, google for examples of awk.

Satellite 2450-201: slow startup and shutdown
I HAVE A SATELLITE 2450-201 AND I RUN ON WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION, I DID A REGISTRY CLEANER EVERYBODYS USERNAME USING REGISTRY FIX 5.5
I HAVE DEFRAGED MY PC AND ALSO OPTIMIZED MY MSCONFIG STARTUP ITEMS AND EVEN THE BIOS UPDATE.
THE RESULT IS EXTREMELY FASTER WHEN I CONNECT AND ACTUALLY UNDER WINDOWS BUT THE SAME OLD VERY SLOW STOP AND START TO WHAT I DO.THE WINDOWS BAR GOING ALONG AT LEAST 15 - 20 TIMES TO HELP START!
Hello
Maybe you've connected to some external devices to slow down the start-up procedure. You can also try to disable all the hardware components you n t need (modem. IrDA). Also check out which device is defined in a first start time (I hope that the HARD drive).
For slow closing is responsible only running processes that should be forced disconnected. It all depends on your own configuration and you are using external devices.

I am able to view the file w.
How once on the test REST based Web service?
There is everything by deploying a REST Service Secuirty next note
How this only plays a role in testing the web service.
REST service security
REST Web service is secure basic authentication HTTP to the HTTP Transport level. Send any of the following in the "Authorization" header according to the basic HTTP scheme:
-Username:Passwod
-Security token.
Tip: Use connection Service to get a token of security for account taken of the user credentials.

Difference between Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition for Oracle RAC
