The amendments are not expected to be replaced by "restore database; recover the database; » ?

Hello

I just have to experience.

I create a test table and some inserted rows. The I took a full backup of the database more archivelog. Then I insert more than a few lines in the test table. Then the database to stop and he started in the State of EDITING.

Then RMAN, I made the following two commands after connection to this database as target database:

RMAN > restore database;

RMAN > restore database;

After the success of the recovery operation, I opened the database. Then, I questioned the test table. I expected to see only the rows that have been inserted before the last full backup, but I can see all rows that were inserted into the table of this test. I am little confused - I thought that "restore and recover" a full backup will overwrite the existing State of the database. I expect that the State of data (database) will be exactly the same as it was at the full backup.

Now I think I got a bad concept, but could someone please clarify this?

Best regards

Since you did not specify a point in time recovery Oracle used the rman backup files including archivelogs and redo to roll forward to the top in its last consistent state.

Do not know what you were doing to the database before you did the recovery, but if you were to try again but to delete all data files, file archivelog and repeat then try recover again you would only see then the first set of rows.

  • CS6 HELP files are missing or are not available. How can I restore?

    When I press F1 for the help, I get a message that I need to communicate online, to access the help, which of course, I'm already. This happens on Photoshop, Illustrator and bridge under CS6. Any ideas how I can restore the help function?

    The help system is poor.  You arrive at the it of the 'Help' option in the menu bar. BUT Google search generally the results in the best results targeted for software and the version you are using. By default the Adobe software, system triggers the shotgun and gives results for versions and you have no software and it is very picky about terminology.  For example if I search Photoshop CS5 help, he talks about CS6. Nothing is as frustrating as trying to make a feature work when it is not yet present in the software, you are owner - or when the description is for Photoshop ELEMENTS and you have Photoshop Extended.

    Another example: search for "align photography" and you will get no help on 'smoothing' in aid - you must use the magic word "redress".  And when you are not using the magic word the first hit is a page, any links to the Adobe documentation. A page that calls the tool 'sovereign' tool 'Ribbon '.

    You can "refine" the help system but despite by configuring it to return data for "Photoshop CS5" and "Adobe" only he continues to insist on the provision of information about Photoshop Elements and Photoshop CS6.

    I guess what I'm saying, it is that I learned not to use the help tool and not worth to download large files because they cause frustration, and dead ends.  GOOGLE and BING are more specific.

  • Lists are not correctly displayed in the web browser

    I use robohelp 7 and I have actually two problems. First problem is if I create a < li > when I switch mode html to design mode and then back to the html view the < ol > has been replaced by a < ul >.

    Then I use the nested lists. They appear as you want in design view but when I complie the code and run it in FF or IE 8, the lists are not displayed as lists. The content of these lists is displayed just like each item in the list is a separate line. Also it will display not < dl > either.

    In this new, I believe that a descendant selector missing could be a problem. In other words, there is no rule to cover this line (one

  • Emails sent via Thunderbird are not saved on the e-mail server.

    I have a critical problem with the backup of the emails I sent to Thunderbird.

    The application works very well, that everyone sent mail is correctly saved in the folder "sent" located in the e-mail account of TB.
    The problem is that messages are not saved on the mail server associated with (in this case, pop.mail.yahoo.com), so whenever I have to reinstall the software, I lose all my outgoing emails. If I access my email on yahoo.com account and email from there, it is regularly saved in the sent folder there.

    I would be grateful if someone could
    (i) say me if it is a known problem, and if there is a way to remedy through Thunberdird server or Composition settings.
    (ii) if there is a way around the problem by saving the file 'sent' located in the Thunderbird mail folder on my HARD drive. Is it possible, after the reinstallation of the application, to paste the file sent to the Mail folder? And I want to save the "Sent.msf" file as well?

    Thank you much for the help.

    The problem is that messages are not saved on the mail server associated with (in this case, pop.mail.yahoo.com),.

    With a POP account, this is the expected behavior. Only the Inbox folder is visible on the server, all the other files are the.
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts#w_pop

    To access the other folders on the server, for example your sent folder, you need to configure your account as an IMAP account.
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts#w_imap

    so whenever I have to reinstall the software, I lose all my outgoing emails.

    You should not need to reinstall the software in the first place. And even if you do you will not lose any position, unless you deliberately remove your Thunderbird profile.
    With pop, all mail is local to your computer, including the "sent" folder.
    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

    If there is a way around the problem by saving the file 'sent' located in the Thunderbird mail folder on my HARD drive.

    In fact, you must back up the entire profile.
    _ http://KB.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird: _FAQs_:_Backing_Up_and_Restoring

    Is it possible, after the reinstallation of the application, to paste the file sent to the Mail folder?

    As said before, nothing is lost when reinstalling the application. If you want to move to a new computer by simply moving the profile.
    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Move_to_a_new_PC

    do I have to save the "Sent.msf" file as well?

    If you want to backup files individual mail, you don't need to save the *.msf files. They are just the index files and contain no mail. They are rebuild automatically when you start Thunderbird.
    In any case, to save the entire profile is the recommended method.

  • Old favorites are not compatible with the version 20 + Firefox

    General information:
    I use the old client version 3.6 given that an old utility addon author stopped update and will not work with the new revisions. Despite disabling the update featured on: config and in preferences, the browser refreshes still finished (initially I was using 3.4 and would prefer to use that, but no matter how I try I can is no longer cancel 3.6 to 3.4 even if I reinstall using an Installer 3.4). Accordingly, I had the habit of keeping a copy of my directory of firefox where it updates again without asking, she has. This could help the guy out to meet countless people who have lost their favorites because of the upgrade released this year and I hope that someone to investigate and release a patch/utility to fix the problem.

    Question:
    I checked that the most recent customer since at least version 20 and leave, are not compatible with the old bookmark JSON files. Those who have been upgraded to the latest revision not only lose their favorites, but cannot restore them either, as Firefox only returns the error message: "unable to process the Backup File.

    I confirmed that the files themselves are perfectly intact with no sign of corruption and are as expected. Restore ok old revisions of browser (in my case specifically 3.6), they will not restore the most recent customer reviews. This isn't a fault with bookmark backups, but with new clients (I guess they changed the way they store information in the JSONs at some point. I note in the code for the JSONs GUID has never been used in old revisions, but it is in the most recent revision. Maybe it's causing an incompatibility problem? You just need to adjust the client so that it looks for the GUID and if none can be found to ignore it rather than decide that the file is corrupted.

    Old JSON Code snippet: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":1306666129870000,"lastModified":1306670152435000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"placesRoot","children":[{"title":"Bookmarks Menu","id":2,"parent":1,"dateAdded":1306666129870000,"lastModified":1381254048121000,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"bookmarksMenuFolder","children":[{"title":"Recently Bookmarked","id":6,"parent":2,"annos":[{"name":"Places/SmartBookmark","flags":0,"expires":4,"mimeType":null,"type":3,"value":"RecentlyBookmarked"}],"type":"text/x-moz-place","uri":"place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&sort=12&excludeQueries=1&excludeItemIfParentHasAnnotation=livemark%2FfeedURI& maxResults = 10 & queryType = 1 "}, {'index': 1,"title":"Recent Tags", 'id': 7, 'parent': 2,"annos": [{'name':" places/SmartBookmark', 'flags': 0, 'expires': 4, 'mimeType': null, 'type': 3, 'value': 'RecentTags'}], 'type': ' text/x-moz-place', 'uri' ":" place: sort = 14 & type = 6 & maxResults = 10 & queryType = 1 ""}, {'index': 2, 'title': id '',' ': 8, 'parent': 2, 'dateAdded': 1294868015246000, 'lastModified': 1294868015246000, 'type': "text/x-moz-place-separator"}

    Solution?
    In my case, I had a copy backup of the old directory for review. To restore I opened the copy and export bookmarks as an HTML, that I restored in the most recent client. If you don't have a copy of the former client, the best thing would be to try and re-install an older revision of the customer and either make a copy of the program folder and use another copy of that you can use the new and old customers and you worry about the loss of an older revision, since you'll always have 2 copies of the former client (the one you use the one that you use to restore in the case of at level). Or export bookmarks to an HTML element, and then upgrade the client to the newest and import the HTML instead of JSON files.

    Please review and create a more simple solution to a problem of stupid incompatibility. ^_^

    There are a number of operations in the file places.sqlite which are obsolete.
    For example,.

    setItemGUID (aItemId, aGUID) obsolete since Gecko 14.0 - returns a unique global identifier for the element. This is mainly for use by extensions that synchronize data between different profiles bookmark.



    Former id snippit:
    "title": "','id': 1,"dateAdded": 1306666129870000,"
    New snippit
    {"title": "","guid": "5rkFafJ6AnRZ",""id ": 1, 'index': 0, 'dateAdded': 1396387525168000"}

    There are other identifier here has changed, I think in version 14
    «Note: the importHTMLFromFileToFolder() method has been removed in Gecko 14.0 (14.0 Firefox / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).»

    But more likely the former is Netscape format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra.../aa753582%28VS.85%29.aspx

    I tried this however: I installed the old version (3.5) and updated to the current version. All my favorites were there. I had to check the updates and could not skip certain steps of 3.5 to 3.6 for example. He then went from 3.6 to 12, then with todays update went straight to 30. They're all here. However nothing is perfect, backup is recommended as well.

    Back to your question, makes it easier for backward compatibility, my hypothesis is that they changed with the updates and ignored some versions. Saved profiles or places.sqlite files may be missing this change because the format changes in the update?

    My suggestion would be filing a bug at this request, providing a few cases where this would be necessary. Currently only the current version of Firefox is supported, which can leave us to the work around that you are currently using.

  • Why the proxy settings are not respected

    I set up SSH as a proxy server on my laptop when I'm on a public network and configure Firefox to use the proxy by completing the manual Proxy config.

    If SSH doesn't work, I get this error message as expected: "the proxy server refuses connections" when I try to access any website EXCEPT Google.

    Searches on Google and access Google.com still works, even when the proxy server is not up. That seems broken.

    When the proxy server IS up, Google searches do not appear to use it.

    Google is my default search provider. If I try to access Bing, Firefox is behaving as expected (no access when proxy is out, throw up debugging indicating new connections when the proxy is up). If I change from Bing to be default search provider, the behavior of the two remains the same (proxy will use Bing, Google does not work).

    Why access to Google (and only Google?) ignore the proxy settings? Are there other sites of 'magic' that would also ignore the proxy? I use the proxy because I want to protect my internet traffic when I'm on public networks, if Firefox can randomly ignore them for some sites but not others, how can I trust him?

    My configuration problem. I realized that any site that uses https worked, while others are not.

    Somehow the "use this proxy server for all protocols" got unchecked. Audit, it solves the problem.

  • ArraytoChannels error 'cannot be added because the channels of the target are not all the same length.

    Hello!

    After the end of my second day of test error, I put this question on the table:

    I use ArraytoChannels function to store ADO recordsets as strings. What is strange, is that for the first Recordset, it works; but for the next time through the loop, it always fails with the error message 'cannot be added because the channels of the target are not all the same length.

    the RowData sizes and the ChannelNames are equal,

    both spend the isarray = true test,

    I change the order of the ChannelNames,.

  • Put option on the page does not work in the Easy Print VI Panel, controls tabs are not displayed

    Found two problems with the screw of report generation:

    (1) in the Panel of VI feel easy (report generation) or the Documentation.vi, the layout options don't work (dug in the sub - VI and found that they are not connected to anything).

    (2) If you have the controls or the lights in a tab control and try to use the Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi with the option to include controls in the report, they do not appear. The only indications/commands that appear are those that are displayed on all tabs (that is to say, to create a control and move it over the tab control so that it appears on every page).  There's a Subvi (Expand_control_ref_with_nested_controls.vi) which is called to handle the nested controls (IE, grapes, berries, etc...), but it should have a case to handle the controls tab.

    Hey Sajosie,

    Dig into the Sub - VI you are right in saying that the Options available to the user input is not connected to anything for most cases. However, in the case of failure to "Quick Print" Layout Options are used to change the layout of the report. In help for this VI, he mentions that this entry is ignored for the report "Standard reports" and "HTML" options However, it does mention that this ignorance of Layout Options is expected for the 'word' or 'Excel' reports.

    Especially regarding the controls and indicators in the report which appear on the tab controls, I can make a product suggestion to do this kind of design more compatible with the mere impression VI Panel façade or Documentation.

  • Why files are not deleted in research appearing in the trash?

    SHIFT + delete deletes the files selected without moving them to the trash. You will need to use data recovery software to recover these files.

    When a file is deleted in this way, it is actually marked as unused space on your hard drive. Windows can replace the files during normal use, making them unrecoverable. It is therefore important to use your computer as little as possible until what they are retrieved. There are several data recovery on the strong programs - do a search on the web for them.

    Hi subhshy001,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

    Try this if you do not have

    Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

    If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

    Follow these steps:

    Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

    (1) open: Start Menu ,.
    (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
    (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

    There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

    Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

    OR

    Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

    If the steps above do not work then:

    You can scan your computer for malware.

    You can download, install and update anti-malware free of your favorite search engine and find malware.
