ADO Database Connection: Need help with correct syntax for 'Execute' Method

My server Windows 2008R2 taking more than 30 hours to complete backup
so next backup getting fail
is there any option to set start backup after 24 hours if previous backup complete

I have a script that I am trying to cobble together, but I am stuck at attempting to execute an SQL query against and ADO connection. My code is as follows:Powershell $FQDNUpper = $Computer.ToUpper() + ".domain.dn1.dn2" $FQDNLower = $Computer.ToLower() + ".domain.dn1.dn2" $shell = New-Object -ComObject "Wscript.Shell" # for use later in script $cnn = New-Object -ComObject "ADODB.Connection" $cnn.ConnectionString = "Connection_String" $cnn.Open() $query = "SELECT CAST(ID AS nvarchar(50)) ID FROM Machine WHERE Name=$FQDNUpper AND Role = 0" $rs = $cnn.Execute($query,' ',1) #If statement that will qualify if $FQDNUpper returned anything else try $FQDNLowerWhen executing the code I receive an error:
PowershellArgument: '2' should be a System.Management.Automation.PSReference. Use [ref].At line:9 char:5+ $rs = $cnn.Execute($query,' ',1)+ ...

Need help with correction inscript for duplication on regular basis

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Win 2008 R2. We have Archive mode enabled and no rman catalog is used. I have a requirement where i have to duplicate prod sevrer on regular basis to development server.
I have created few batch files so that the entire process in automated. Stored all the scripts in c:\script\clone\ directory.+
I have taken the backup copy of password and spfile from prod server and copied to the development server in same location.
These are the scripts i run in order:
*1_clone.bat*
set ORACLE_SID=orcl
sqlplus / as sysdba @c:\script\clone\2_test.bat
*2_test.bat*
shutdown immediate
startup nomount
host rman target sys/oracle@live nocatalog auxiliary / @c:\script\clone\3_rman.rcv
*3_rman.rcv*
run {
allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk;
duplicate target database to ORCL NOFILENAMECHECK;
exit
When the duplication process in about to finish, i get below error:
contents of memory script:
shutdown clone;
startup clone nomount;
executing Memory Script
RMAN-03002: failure of duplicate DB command at 07/31/2012 08:02:21
RMAN-03015: error occured in stored script memory script
RMAN-06136: Oracle error from auxiliary database: ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation
Recovery Manager complete
SQL>
When i press exit, this window closes and i can run the alter database open resetlogs;+ command from a new sql prompt. I check online and some suggest there might be a window open with system user connected. Please suggest any changes in the script.
Best Regards,

Hello;
Having another session with system user will cause rman to throw this error. For example another session used to start up database in nomount mode still being active.
Duriing the cloning process the rman session needs to be exclusively connected to the auxiliary instance (no other session are allowed).

Need help with e4x syntax for children in ADG TreeView column

I would like to display Hierarchical XML data as a treeView
in a ADG control. I can bind the first (parent) level of my XML to
the ADG using a HierarchicalData Dataprovider, but I can't figure
out the syntax to get the children.
The attached code shows the function where the XML is
received, and evaluated one level deep. The var "eventdefs" is the
..Group nodes of the XML, and the declaration of the ADG. The ADG
binds the eventdefs as hierarchical data, and specifies one column
with the datafield as @eventgroup. This works fine and shows the
top level nodes.
I have specified Event as the childrenfield, but I don't see
anything in the data grid - nor do I understand how to specify a
different value of datafield for the second level of nodes.
I want to show the value of the attribute "eventgroup" on
parent nodes, and show the value of the attribute "description"
next to the child nodes. Can this be specified in the mxml? Or do I
need a label function, or something else?
TIA!
Here is my XML document:
<list>
<Group eventgroup="">
<Event uniqueid="63" description="Error:enter valid Email
Address " displayorderingroup="60" displayorder="86" />
<Event uniqueid="64" description="Error:unable to find
account for email address " displayorderingroup="61"
displayorder="87" />
</Group>
<Group eventgroup="CEP Events">
<Event uniqueid="244" description="CEP:EveryHit; "
displayorderingroup="242" displayorder="253" />
</Group>
</list>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable("eventDefsChanged")]
private var _eventDefs:Object;
public function set eventDefs(m:Object):void
// We expect m to be a XML document, with "Group" as the
name of the highest level (parent) nodes
_eventDefs = m..Group;
adg_es.dataProvider = eventDefs;
adg_es.validateNow();
dispatchEvent( new Event( "eventDefsChanged" ) );

Need help with correct setup for SuiteLink - Get ACE error message 7078

When I enable SuiteLink via:
ace_set_mode( g_ah, ACE_MODE_ENABLE_SUITELINK, TRUE );
ace_set_file( g_ah, ACE_DIR_SUITELINK, "D:
PW
201108
SuiteLink" );
ace_set_file( g_ah, ACE_DIR_NAME_PARSING_FILES, (char*)"D:
PW
201108
ncoalink");
Right after
ace_open( g_ah );
I get the following ACE error: 7078
where the description is: an incompatible version of the name parsing library required to run was found.
1) I'm not entirely sure where ACE_DIR_NAME_PARSING_FILES should be pointing to. We don't use NCOA but the documention says both SuiteLink and NCOALink use the same parsing files.
Inside NCOALink\ there is parsing.dct with a datestamp of 1/13/2009 which seems old.
I am running ACE800cRev5, just downloaded the July 2011 directories. ace32.dll version 8.4.5.0
Thanks!

Michael,
A regular ACE job with Suitlink enabled would also use the same parsing files located in ncoalink\. The parsing.dct included with my ACE 8.00c.05 is also dated 1/13/2009.
I have little expertise with ACE RAPID, but I would guess that ACE_DIR_NAME_PARSING_FILES should also be set ncoalink\

Brandon

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??

Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

Need help with correcting the select statement

I have two tables mkt & error.
The fields of mkt are
app_id (xxx)
c_mkt_id
app_mkt_id
The fields of error table are
mkt_id
intr_id (its in format xxx.yyy or xxx)
xyz
abc
pqr
I have to select * fields from error table such that
->mkt.app_id = error.intr_id (here i am using combination of sbstr & instr to get the part before "." if present)
->mkt.c_mkt_id=error.mkt_id
Where ever the above two conditions match i have to replace the mkt_id field in my select * from error table query with the
app_mkt_id field from mkt table. If the above two condtions dont match my select * from error table should return the original mkt_id present in the error table.
I have presently developed a query(*) which selects the app_mkt_id from mkt table where ever the two conditions match.
How should i go about using this to get my actual requirement.
(*)=select app_mkt_id from mkt where app_id in (select case when case_when=1 then substr(intr_id, 1, instr(intr_id,'.')-1) else substr(intr_id, 1) end from (select intr_id, case when instr(intr_id,'.',1)=0 then 0 else 1 end case_when from error)) and
c_mkt_id in (select mkt_id from error)

you wrote:
(*)=select app_mkt_id from mkt where ....What is this?
If you are writing PL/SQL the syntax is:
SELECT ....
INTO ....
FROM ....
WHERE ....This seems to be school work and thus you really need to puzzle this out for yourself.

Beginner needs help with gotoAndPlay syntax

Hello out there.
I am modifying a Flash template which I downloaded recently
The following code has been placed on a symbol which is defined as a button.
on (release) {
_root.link = 3;
_root.gates.gotoAndPlay ("s1");
I interpret this code to mean that _root.gates is the instance name which is located in the root timeline and it will move the play head to the frame labeled s1 in the gates instance which I assume is a movie clip.
How do I locate the gates instance in the flash file. I have looked at every symbol in the entire flash file and none of them have instance names.
Please help if you can. Thanks

You've probably narrowed it down to being an object from the library. Now you need to see if it is either on the stage or is loaded dynamically.
If you right click on the object in the library and select Linkage..., you'll be able to see if it might be loaded dynamically. In order to load it dynamically, in the Liinkage panel it will need to have the Export for Actionscript option checked (and one other) and will have an Identifier defined for it. This identifier is what will be used to pull it from the library via actionscript (using the attachMovie method).
If it doesn't have things in the Linkage established as I've described, then it likely lives on the stage. If you are unable to find it, then it may be on a masked layer, or it may be set invisible on the timeline, or it may have a blank first frame which would make it appear as a mere dot on the stage if selected.
Now, regardless of whether you find how it's added to the stage, if your intention is to edit this object in some way, You don't necessarily have to figure out the details of how its added to the stage. To check if the object in the library is the one you want to edit, edit it in some simple way so that you can tell if the item you edit is the item you want edited. If it is, then do the editing you intend.

You can simplify it a little by factoring out the date differences:WITH got_d     AS
     SELECT     qty
     ,     TRUNC ( dt
          - ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MON')

     FROM table1
     WHERE     dt     >= ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MON')
                    , -1
     AND dt     < TRUNC (SYSDATE) + 1
SELECT     SUM (CASE WHEN d = 1 THEN qty END)     AS day_1
,     SUM (CASE WHEN d = 2 THEN qty END)     AS day_2
,     SUM (CASE WHEN d = 62 THEN qty END)     AS day_62

Need help with installing Windows for the bar exam

I need to retake the bar exam in Feb 2011 and I've decided to switch to typing. I am trying to figure out what Windows I need (the software says XP is fine but is that even available anymore)- so can someone walk me through this process? I've partioned my hard drive with the default 5GB but should it be more?
I'm looking at buying Windows- is XP okay or should I shell out for 7-i.e. is one more compatible with Macs?
And then finally, in the installation instructions they mention that I need my Mac OS disc for the process- is that the snow leopard disc or something else? My discs are in storage right now so should I wait until I get them before starting this process or can I get replacements if I accidentally threw them out in moving?
Sorry for all the questions, but well, I'm racing to get everything done and I want to make sure I don't crash my system halfway through the exam!

You don't need Boot Camp, but even XP will have a lot of stuff to update from after the install, and that takes temp space. Just as your Mac shows 5-10GB there is add'l hidden space used.
Apple's 'requirements' has gotten others in trouble and I was pretty sure it was more like 10GB. Plus a lot of XP discs are now SP3.
XP out of the box but connected to the net is just waiting for malware, average is 15 minutes to be infected. 7 is better and just in case you need it again.
System Builder can come in 32 or 64-bit but XP is 32-bit only.
VirtualBox by Oracle is a free VM.
1GB for one program actually seems like a lot, or is that RAM requirement?

Not exactly iweb - need help with a graphic for my site

This doesn't fit anywhere so dumping it here. I drew by hand a graphic I want to use with iweb to put on my site as my site's logo. Main problem is that getting the background transparent isn't working well as when it was scanned the scanner didn't back the background "pure" white. I have tried adjusting the whitepoint and setting the color depth down, but still no good. I don't know a ton about graphic program use. I have an older copy of graphic converter that came on this powerbook when i got it. I would be fine having the graphic loose the marker look and have solid fill colors - just I am not good enough with computer drawing tools to do it on the computer! So I either need to get a volunteer to help me out, or some help with some detailed instructions to get this to work out... (also I am broke so no cost/shareware is only option here)
many thanks!!!!
I can get you a scanned jpg of the pic if needed.

THANK YOU/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png so the tolerance makes it not care so much about the gradations in color? what else is tolerence good for?
I have a cleaner copy now after someone suggested GIMP, so played with it last night - though couldn't figure out transparency - that was clear on converter- just not cooperative till these wonderful directions.
So now I know how to do it without messing with the pic, and with messing with it - both good lessons and got a bit brighter color out of the deal.
many thanks for the straightforward and clear directions, they worked perfectly/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png extra strars for you/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

Need performance! - Need help with Server Architecture for SSAS on Azure VM

I would like to build 100% Azure VM base solution. We can install as many as needed.
I have large amount data in DW. (100GB-1000GB)
I would like to provide PowerView reports in SharePoints.
I would like to have report data be as real time as possible. (Min data is updated once in 2 hours)
These are requirements:
-SharePoint 2013
-PowerView
-SSAS OLAP Cube
-SQL Server DW&Staging DB (Currently DW&Staging on same server)
I need help specially what can be done with SSAS to meet requirements? Should be installed to own application server? Possible to install multiple SSAS? SSRS needs own server?
I appreciate also links to server topology diagrams.
Kenny_I

I assume you mean 100GB-1000GB (not 1000TB) right?
For Sharepoint I would refer to the sizing guide for diagrams and sizing:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758647(v=office.15).aspx
SSRS (and Power View) will run in the SharePoint farm on a SharePoint app server potentially with other SharePoint services.
I would definitely put SSAS on a dedicated server for a cube that size. Depending on how well your data compresses, there may not be a VM in Azure with enough RAM to put your model into a Tabular SSAS model. I would prototype it with a subset of data to see
how well it compresses. You can always use a Multidimensional model as a fallback.
Depending on how much processing the SSAS model impacts user queries (since it is happening during the day) you could build an SSAS processing server and a separate SSAS query server and run the XMLA Synchronize command to copy the cube incrementally from processing
to query servers.
Does that help?

Need help with user ID for this forum

I have problem that I can't seem to get resolved online which involves my Apple Support user ID... Sorry to post this here, but I don't know where to go for help.
I have been a member of the apple community for a long time (since 2002) but my login ID and user ID seem to have been disconnected. Happened when I tried to sign in once and had all kinds of problems. Now I've created a new user ID but would like my old one back. I've tried several times to get my original user ID back, but there seems to be no way to get it back... If I sign up for the user ID, it tells me that it is taken (because its mine).
Can you help me? Is there a real person I can contact who can help me?
Thanks for any support.
