• A friend's XP user and in a care home for now & about to use a "dongle" Mi-Fi for its banking services

  Hello

  How to secure my friend uses the Windows XP for its banking services while she is in a nursing home? (This could be short term or permanent, unknown still.) She has not used the Toshiba laptop to come to 6 months. I don't know if it uses Norton or MacAfee, but it is certainly one of those who, for the security of the computer or if it is still up-to-date. She madeall her banking online as she was unable to leave the House for 3 years before its passage from 4 months in the hospital. The social worker arranged so that she could 'buy' a dongle MI-fi of 3G to use to access the internet (the social worker did not know that was what she had bought) so she can pay for her care. He has not been in place, but that nobody had heard of a MI-Fi, but I received a lot of help on that my service provider forum on wide band/phone who understand a little better now. Any suggestion security would be very welcome.

  The laptop is still loaded up during his stay in the hospital and used it for about an hour when it came out in April only to be re-admitted 7 hours later due to a fall.

  Your friend probably should buy a device for 'mobile broadband' rather than a 'MiFi'-, but your description of "MiFi dongle" suggests that it is perhaps what she actually still.

  A MiFi device is a wireless router that connects to the Internet via cell phone.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiFi because it creates a wifi "hotspot" anyone with wifi capability can connect to it unless it is configured with a strong password WPA2.  Most of MiFi devices must support WPA2, but computer XP your friend may or may not.  If your friend's computer does not support WPA2, use WPA.  Do not use WEP and never set up an unsecured wireless connection.

  The alternative to a MiFi device is a mobile broadband that connects directly to the computer with the USB and acts as a direct connection to the Internet via the cell phone network.  See, for example, http://store.virginmedia.com/virgin-media-mobile/mobile-broadband/mobile-broadband.html

  Mobile broadband is more secure than MiFi because it does not use a wireless connection.  This may seem a little confusing, because it is, of course, wireless, but in terms of connections of the computer, "wireless" means a particular technology.  The distinction is similar to a 'wireless phone' that you can run on your home but needs to be to have a "borne" connected to your ordinary phone wire and a 'mobile' (what we call 'mobile phone' to the United States) telephone that connects wireless everywhere.

  As much as the computer itself is concerned, your friend probably evolve into a laptop with Windows 7 or Windows 8.  I understand that it is an additional expense, but Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and will make it more vulnerable to attack no matter how it is connected to the Internet.

• IKM SQL for Hyperion Essbase (metadata) - problem when you dial the name of the Member

  Hello world
  
  I need to load the metadata to Essbase to a relational database.
  Essbase: 9.3, Oracle 9i, ODI 10.1.3.5.0
  I have a dimensional table contains the data in the Scenario dimension. The table has 3 columns: code, alias, consolidation.
  Example of 2 lines:
  Effective law-
  BDG budget-
  
  I created a rule file load_scn.rul to update the scenario dimension in my essbase cube and at the launch of the console of administration services it does not work. Each Member has his alias and it is sign of such consolidation as specified in the table.
  
  In ODI
  I created an essbase data store, a data store for my table and an interface. The interface uses the knowledge "IKM SQL for Hyperion Essbase (metadata)" module and the load_scn.rul of State of charge.
  When I run the interface, it will end successfully, but when I check the Essbase outline, the two members were loaded with the name of name of Member composed of all 3 columns in the table dimensional as a single string line!
  I have a member named ' law, real, + "and another called ' bdg, budget,-'."
  Members have no alias and peacebuilding is the default ('+') and not '-' as shown in the dimensional table.
  
  Has anyone of you had this problem? If so, how to solve it?
  
  Any help will be very appreciated!
  Daniela

  Sounds like in the rule under load in the IKM options you have to have the separator rules comma value and data > defined in the tab, replace it with commas in the rule of data source properties.

  See you soon

• Configuration of SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition for vCenter Server 5.1

  Greetings to all seasons.

  Kind of a newbie here. That's my lab environment.

  I have always used the vCenter Server install Simple option that also installs the shipped Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Express edition.

  Now, I do an eval of vSphere 5.1 and I want to manually configure a database server using the Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.

  I know how to install the database server and it works. But I do not know how exactly set up a database for vCenter Server.

  I looked at the guide Configuration / Installation of vSphere and I don't seem to be able to follow the preparation vCenter Server databases section, because I'm not a person to the database. Y at - it any other guide or a blog, I can follow? I searched a lot and found everything I was looking for. Thought I would ask here.

  Here are the virtual machines I have.

  Lab - DC1 (domain controller)

  Lab - DC2 (domain controller)

  Lab-SQL1 (SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition)

  Lab-SQL2 (SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise - subsequently configure failover clustering)

  Lab-VC1(vCenter Server 1)

  Any help is appreciated!

  Happy holidays.  Here is a link to another site with a nice installation guide for SQL 2008 for VMware.  Version 4.x, published in lonesysadmin.net was very helpful, so I'm sure that the 5.x update (have not read through it again) must be all too packed with useful tips.

• OutOfMemoryError: Limit superior GC exceeded when loading directly the source using IKM sql for sql. Growing ODI_MAX_HEAP do not solve the problem.

  OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit at execution a loading interface directly sql for sql with no work table.

  I get the error message: error: exception OutOfMemoryError: higher GC limit exceeded when executing an interface making a direct using IKM SQL for SQL command load Append, source a 150millions lines table.

  I have increased the ODI_MAX_HEAP and the interface run longer and failed. I'm already at: ODI_MAX_HEAP = 12560 m I tested with ODI_MAX_HEAP = 52560 m and still error.

  I am following up to the memory of the server and I still have available memory...

  Apart from the problem of memory I know that this type of load should be possible because the step of data load on LKM SQL to Oracle is able to load the work table $ CAN. Ideally, I want to emulate this behavior by using SQL for SQL IKM.

  1 - What is the right path to follow here? (change the parameters of memory or modify the IKM?)

  
  

  2 - ideas on how to solve the OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded error? (GC means Garbage Collector)

  Execution of the IKM interface in the Simulator generates this code:

  Load (Source) command:

  Select

  source - tbl.col1 COL1,

  source - tbl.col2 COL2,

  source-tbl. "' COL3 ' COL3

  of public.source - tbl AS source-tbl

  where

  (1 = 1)

  Default command (Destination):

  insert into the source-tbl

  (

  col1,

  col2,

  COL3

  )

  values

  (

  : COL1,.

  : COL2.

  : COL3

  )

  My experience is very limited with ODI so I don't know about changing the code to the KMs

  Thanks in advance.

  Find a work around the error of generals limit exceeded GC:

  -in my case I was running without the IDE so that changes made to the odiparams.sh were not useful.

  -This means that I need to change the JVM settings to:

  $ODI_HOME/oracledi/client/odi/bin/odi.conf

  AddVMOption - XX: MaxPermSize = NNNNM

  $$ODI_HOME/oracledi/client/ide/bin/ide.conf

  AddVMOption - XmxNNNNM

  AddVMOption - XmsNNNNM

  Where NNNN is a higher value.

• Can I use acrobat 7.0 pro for enterprise SME?

  Hello

  We want to use acrobat 7.0 pro in our company. The link is https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?pid=2026489 & e = cs2_downloads where I downloaded.

  I read the license for this term. I found no political license for small business. This product is free for anyone?

  Please answer to me.

  Thank you!

  -Matthew-

  you are welcome, but no, acrobat 7 cannot legally be used by users not allowed for awhile.

  and while there are adobe non-courants trial versions available to some versions for acrobat, version 8 is the oldest available trial version.  so you can legally download and use (for 30 days) without license acrobat versions 8, 9, X and the current version XI.

  acrobat 7 pro software that adobe makes available is legal to use by the owners of license acrobat 7.  It is not legal to use for 30 days, or any other period (limited or otherwise), to unauthorized users.

• Deployment of SQL Server 2008 Enterprise (64-bit)

  Is it possible to deploy SQL Server 2008 Enterprise (64-bit) on the virtual machine (using vmware workstation 8) running windows server 2003 as a guest operating system?

  Since then, Miicrosoft says "SQL Server 2008 is supported in environments of VMS running on the Hyper-V role in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise and data center."

  If necessary please refer to the following link http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506 (SQL.100) .aspx

  Grateful for your help!

  For the test, you can use the Windows 2008 R2 trial version. Tracks for 180 days. I don't remember that you actually have a Windows 2003 64 biit as a trial version. So I am doing all my tests with the final tests of Microsoft (Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 and the application server).

• Can not see the package body in SQL Developer version 3.1

  Hello
  
  Have walked the boards and google for that matter for some time now. I think I found the problem, but would like to if there is a work around.
  
  Problem:
  I'm unable to view packages, procs, VIEWS DOF, etc. of other users. When one of my colleagues use Toad, with the EXACT same connection ID and the parameter, they are indeed able to see all the source code...
  
  What I found:
  Looking around, apparently Toad and SQL Dev work in different ways. Toad a use apparently DBA_SOURCE and DBA_OBJECTS to generate everything.
  SQL Dev using package META_DATA to retrieve everything. In addition, in order to use the package meta_data, I need the catalog of grant role, or something like that.
  
  
  Is it possible to set up the SQL Developer to use the same method as the toad to get the code? It is a fact that I WILL NOT receive the catalogue by the DBA permission... I can write the
  Select the text from DBA_SOURCE where OWNER = 'OWNER' and NAME = 'OBJECT NAME';
  
  But I would rather just be able to use the nodes in the tree and click on the objects to generate all this. Anyone know of any setting for this?

  Hello

  No doubt Developer SQL wants to be competitive with the Toad, but in terms of raising red flags on the inconsistencies in the basic features, any difference from SQL * Plus would be more surprising than Toad.

  DBA_SOURCE and DBA_OBJECTS are synonymous publicly available in any standard Oracle installation, but you also get to PICK ANY DICTIONARY to get the maximum benefit from them. Which will display the code in the schema of another user without having a privilege explicit (such as EXECUTE) on a function/procedure/package.

  If you already have privileges (SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, or EXECUTE or DEBUG on specific executable objects), and the Code tab is empty, you will need to provide a test case, according to Vadim.

  With respect to cases where the SQL Developer uses DBMS_METADATA, my understanding is that the API relies on the SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE privilege, if a user has or otherwise have a granted privilege explicitly on an object. Developers like to use this API in the extent possible instead to write a script that could break or need maintenance to deal with future versions of the Oracle database.

  I have no idea how works the Toad, and probably I should not speculate, but here's a scenario that might explain the case you mention without that user of connection with one of the above privileges. Let's say that the client software of Toad calls a PL/SQL package that selects from DBA_SOURCE and is installed in a pattern that has the privilege to CHOOSE ANY DICTIONARY. All users of Toad are granted EXECUTE on this package and therefore inherit SELECT ANY DICTIONARY in the execution of the package. It will work, but at the cost of complicating the installation of Toad. Also, he is not giving them a precise control of metadata security administrator.

• SQL for FLEX on the Internet

  Hi all
  
  I'm looking for some advice on technology I should look for the SQL Server 2008 database in my Adobe Air application. I'm not a programmer by trade, but some experience in VB, c# and now Actionscript/MXML & .NET. I get really well up to now with Flex Builder but have reached the stage where I need to retrieve data from a SQL Internet box. I had limited success with WSDL, return the single variables but experience a known bug in Flex trying to generate the required classes to pull in the tables .NET data or data sets. According to the following criteria, can someone tell me areas/technologies that I should look at?
  
  1. back-end server - currently a single Windows Server 2008 Standard with IIS and SQL 2008 Standard. Intention is to separate and to provide the redunancy using a pair clustered SQL boxes and separated from the IIS servers to host the SOAP services.
  2. customer - running Adobe Air, must authenticate using a username that is stored locally. The authentication server should also carry out inspections on the IP address of the client.
  3. all communications between the client and the server must be secured.
  4. on the first connection to the server, the client will be forced to read in about 10 small tables, the more important that with up to about 500 lines of string variables (that is, no data of big picture / binary worry)
  5. Subsequently, the customer will have to check-in for updates as often as possible - at least once every 15 seconds. Updates would often be 0-10 lines and never more than 200.
  6. the potential to evolve up to nearly 2,000 customers.
  
  If you have any questions please ask away. From what I've read so far, WSDL can be slow and inappropriate. I've seen Enterprise Services mentioned but not really sure what is even. Must do more reading.
  
  Any help and advice, reading etc URLs greatly appreciated.
  
  Thanks in advance, Dustin.

  Consider the data encoding in AMF format before sending to the client. This point compares several approaches to data communication, the best performance was achieved with the AMF (Select "Flex AMF - 5000 lines" menu drop-down):
  http://www.jamesward.com/census/
  "The reference of the Flex AMF makes a RemoteObject request to the server to 5000 lines. The server serializes the data in the format of the AMF. Financial market authority are a format of binary object for ActionScript objects in the Virtual Machine Flash. The customer gets the data of the AMF over HTTP, he shoves in memory, then updates the DataGrid with the 5000 lines. The DataGrid control supports client-side sorting.

  Results:
  On all points of reference AMF is by far the fastest and smallest through the wire. There is almost no time analysis because the objects are already as objects (instead of XML or another representation of object based text). Render time is also extremely fast due to the Flash, Mozilla Tamarin JIT had VM. If you try the sort you will again see the performance of the virtual machine. Note that sorting is faster in the reference of the AMF in the E4X reference because the objects are of type objects rather than objects XML."

  This message contains the benefits of AMF and the code example:

  I use Oracle SQL Developer

  I know very well of this tool.

  The packet header and body are two separate objects and must be compiled separately. I suspect that the package body is somehow have included in package header and Developer SQL tries to compile all of these at once. You must understand how to compile the header first, then the body. Your code compiles if I use sqlplus. I had to first create the table, so I have included a slash (/) after the packet header and the other after that body. The slash tells sql more to run the buffer (in this case, to compile the object).

  SQL> create table campo (cod number);
  
  Table created.
  
  SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE
    2  PACKAGE CAMPO_PACK AS

  If I remove the slash after the package header, sql more trying to compile all this at once, and I get the same error you get:

• Casting table PL/SQL for the type of existing table and back ref cursor

  Hello
  
  
  
  I have the problem of casting a pl/sql table for the type of an existing table and turning the ref cursor to the application. Casting a ref cursor back and number of pl/sql table works well.
  
  
  
  Declarant
  
  < strong > TYPE type_table_name IS TABLE OF THE package_name.table_name%ROWTYPE; < facilities >
  
  within the stored procedure, fill in a table of this type temp_table_name and returning the ref cursor help
  
  < strong > results OPEN to SELECT * FROM TABLE (CAST (temp_table_name AS type_table_name)); < facilities >
  
  generates an error. type_table_name is unknown in this distribution. According to me, this happens because of the declaration of the type locally.
  
  
  
  Statement type_table_name inside the package specification does not work neither. Incredible, cast to the said dbms_sql.number_table to specify ref cursor back and dbms_sql package works very well!
  
  
  
  < strong > CREATE TYPE type_table_name IS TABLE OF THE package_name.table_name%ROWTYPE; < facilities > deals without any error but creates an invalid type complain a reference to package_name.table_name
  
  
  
  I don't want to declare every column in the table in type_table_name, because any change the table_name table would result in an inconsistent type_table_name.
  
  
  
  Thanks in advance!

  In any case you are right that there is a problem around anchorage (or maintaining) types of objects persistent to match the table structures, they may represent.

  In the case you describe, you might be better off just open the refcursor immediately the using one of the techniques described in the http://www.williamrobertson.net/documents/comma-separated.html to manage the delimited list.

  In the more general case where the line of treatment is necessary, you may make the pipeline functions.
