Init.ora setting not effective after shutdown/startup

Hi there,
I've set optimizer_features_enable = 8.1.7 (both lower caps and upper caps) in init.ora
After shutting down oracle and starting up again,
show parameter opt still shows 9.2.0
SQL> show parameter opt
NAME TYPE VALUE
filesystemio_options string asynch
object_cache_optimal_size integer 102400
optimizer_dynamic_sampling integer 1
optimizer_features_enable string 9.2.0
optimizer_index_caching integer 0
optimizer_index_cost_adj integer 100
optimizer_max_permutations integer 2000
optimizer_mode string CHOOSE
I've to change other parameters e.g. shared_pool_size in the same init.ora file and it's effective after shutdown/restart.
Please advise how to set optimizer_features_enable.

9.x has something called SPFILE also...
SQL> show parameter spfile
If it shows a file name value, something like spfilesid.ora, changes to init.ora would make not much difference :)

Reconstruct problems after shutdown / startup

Yesterday we had an air conditioning outage in our data center, so I had to shutdown our iMS system. I forgot to do a stop-msg on the mail server, so it apparently did not get shut down very cleanly. When I booted back up later in the day, I had to run fsck on the data partition (which is on an external disk array) many times before it would boot up successfully.
I was able to start up the messaging server fine, but I monitored the logs and found errors like this one (from the imap log):
[30/Jul/2006:22:00:02 -0500] opal imapd[813]: Store Error: Unable to get quota root user/sch736: Unknown code ____ 248
[30/Jul/2006:22:00:02 -0500] opal imapd[813]: Store Error: Unable to add new mailbox entry user/sch736: System I/O error. Administrator, check server log for details.
[30/Jul/2006:22:00:02 -0500] opal imapd[813]: Store Error: Unable to auto create mailbox user/sch736: System I/O error. Administrator, check server log for details.
I was getting similar errors all over the place, so I decided to rebuild the mboxlist.
running reconstruct -r -f doesn't do anything at all
reconstruct -m gives me the following:
partition primary is at /opt/luminis/iplanet/server5/msg-opal/store/partition/primary
user/aab753: fixed quota root usage
user/abm909: cannot fix quota root usage: I/O error
and puts the following in the default log:
[31/Jul/2006:08:52:47 -0500] opal reconstruct[25053]: General Notice: ./reconstruct -m
[31/Jul/2006:08:52:47 -0500] opal reconstruct[25053]: Store Critical: Unable to open index file for user/aab753/School/Comm 170 group: No such file or directory

reconstruct -n -r runs for a while but then dies at
user/abm909/Sent
and puts the following in default log
[31/Jul/2006:08:57:02 -0500] opal reconstruct[25066]: General Notice: ./reconstruct -n -r
[31/Jul/2006:08:57:11 -0500] opal reconstruct[25066]: Store Critical: Mailbox database error: folder.db: page 2204 doesn't exist, create flag not set
I also was receiving the following error while running reconstruct -r
cannot fix quota root usage: I/O error
but I think that is because I had copied the files out of the mboxutil folder at the time.
Any ideas on how to fix what's going on?
Thanks,
Greg

HI Jay,
Sorry I disappeared for a while. This server is part
of a SunGard Higher Education Luminis install, so I
was dealing with their support for a while trying to
get things resolved.I understand.
>
We got things working ok by following your steps from
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=53262
&messageID=204166
A. stop the messaging server. Confirm that ALL
processes related to Messaging are stopped. Use ps
-ef, and grep for the path it's installed in. Kill -9
any processes that are still there.
B. Remove all contents of the mboxlist directory.
C. Start the server up. It will work normally, but
users will only have access to INBOX folders.
D. Run reconstruct -m to fix folder access.
However, after doing that, some users were getting
the following error in the Luminis IMAP client:
[error: We could not load the Email Center because
one of the folders
was invalid. Error given was: MailException: type=2
(EXCEPTION_InvalidFolder), description: Error getting
subfolder, Sent ]
And some users can get in fine, but are missing their
personal subfolders.
So they had me run these steps:
1) Stop the messaging server in its entirety
(./stop-msg and check for related processes to make
sure they've stopped running. On NT/Windows 2000,
if they're set to start up automatically change them
to Manual in the Services control panel)
) Make a backup of the store directory, as well as
the msg-instance/store/mboxlist folder contents. It
is recommended you copy the contents of mboxlist out
to an easily accessible backup directory -- if later
required to restore from backup, this will make the
mboxlist folder readily available instead of having
to do a full restore.
3) run reconstruct -m
4) run a script to move all store.idx to
store.idx.old -- See the steps below on how to do
this.
5) start up store by doing:
./start-msg store
and wait until store posted all transactions in the
mboxlist/log.* files -- sometimes this may take 1-2
hours, because it has to go through every transaction
that hasn't completed the update on the mailbox
database
6) run reconstruct -r
7) stop-msg store
8) backup and move out the contents of
iplanet/server5/msg-instance/store/mboxlist to a
place we can get back to later
9) run reconstruct -m again
10) ran "start-msg store" and let it complete, once
again - this usually doesn't take as long unless new
transactions were posted
11) start the rest of the messaging server processes
-- by running ./start-msg, and let it ignore the
store process since that is already running, or start
up all other services manually (i.e., pop, http,
imap, etc)
Which I did, until step 9, when it gave me the
following error:
reconstruct: cannot list quota roots: System I/O
error. Administrator, check server log for details
So I started the messaging server and then
reconstruct -m ran successfully, but we're back in
the exact same boat with the same users having the
same problems.
I can fix the users getting the IMAP error by moving
all the store.idx files and doing a recontruct -r on
the user. However, I don't know who all is affected
and don't really want to do that one by one.
I don't know how to fix the subfolder problem.Each folder has a store.idx file.
reconstruct -r -f may fix all the problems at one go. If not, parse the log files for affected users, and remove store.idx files, and reconstruct.
You MAY need to apply some later hotfix/patch, as some work has been done in the reconstruct area. I don't remember exactly what version you're on.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide. I
hope I am giving you good information to go off of.

Desktop setting not saving after system update

Hi All,
I did a system wide update including the changing the kernel from 2.6.25 to 2.6.28 and now I cannot change my desktop setting.
that is, my desktop background picture and font size is not saving. First I could not shutdown and i read the forum where
it was suggested to downgrade from hal-0.5.11-7 to hal-0.5.11-4. and that work for me. but my system
not saving my desktop setting. I have the "automatically save session on logout" check.
I am using xfce4 as my DM
any help please.

hi,
check your home folder permissions. open up your /home/ right click on your username folder click properties and in permissions dialog check that owner can view/edit files and then check something like apply to all subfolders and files

Toggle Full Keyboard Access is Not Working after Shutdown/Reboot

Hi,
I'm yet another keyboard maniac and somehow as above subject was keep re-occured every time after enabled it, I've turn it on full keyboard access in system preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. All seemed to be good before I shutdown or reboot my macbook pro. I could access all the dialogs and windows. After a reboot or shutdown, all the dialogs from any other apps can still be accessed via keyboard except one single window, the shutdown window (both from hitting apple->shutdown and control+eject.) I have to toggle control+f1 or control+f7 every freaking time in order to enabled keyboard access to shutdown/reboot. I've tried "defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode" in terminal and it returned 3 which is "Full Keyboard Access ON and All controls" even after a fresh reboot:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
3
+++++++++
But when I'm using sudoer to check the result was set to "0" means disable:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
Password:
0
+++++++++
So what I do for the workaround/fix is by the set value to enabled it using root access level or sudoer:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleKeyboardUIMode -int 3
+++++++++
Once done do reboot your Mac & check the result in Terminal should shows as below:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
3
=========
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
3
+++++++++
So it's fixed for my issue. If anyone have better suggestion or the proper method please share.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All, Mac Pro 2008 will not start after shutdown straight from sleep! Help!

WILL A NEW LOGIC BOARD SOLVE MY PROBLEM?
My early 2008 Mac Pro (2.8, 8-core 22 gigs ram) was shutting down from sleep both when I activated it, and then later by itself. Recently it refused to turn on, shuts down after about 3 seconds, light goes off, fans stop.
Took it in and they replaced the GPU card and PSU. Things were great ... for two weeks. Then suddenly the same symptoms, but at an accelerated rate of occurance. After a day, it did not power on at all save the three seconds of startup fans.
Took it in again. They AGAIN replace the known-faulty ATI Radeon HD2600 XT cards (two), the ones Apple have agreed to replace up to July 2011.
Well got the machine back and she worked like a charm... for two weeks. Same thing now. By the way all checks of hardware, ram, disk drives - extensively have come up OK.
Does anyone have any advice, or have the same problem?
If it is the logic board, is it worth it to replace or when things go south like this is it better to cut your losses as more and more will likely go wrong?
Would appreciate any feedback.
Many thanks

We can't help with your question. How would we know what has gone wrong with your hardware? We don't have access to your machine.
I would take it back, or send it in, to Apple Repair.
I hope you have AppleCare!

Conditional Format Icon Sets not Displaying after SharePoint Update

We have a SharePoint 2013 site, and after we applied the update below, the conditional formatting for our primary dashboard no longer appears in Excel Services. We have three different versions of the file and all have been
affected. I have tried removing all of the conditional formatting, and re-applying it, but it does not work.
If the files are opened in Excel, they look perfect. A blank, new file with the same conditional formatting rules work fine.
Any thoughts on how to correct the issue??

Hi Barbara,
According to your description, my understanding is that the icon sets cannot be displayed in Excel files after installing SharePoint 2013 October CU.
The link to download the SharePoint 2013 October CU is not correct, it is October CU for SharePoint 2010.
I recommend to check the build number of your database to see if the right October CU for SharePoint 2013 is installed.
Here is the link of October CU for SharePoint 2013:

PT880 Bios Setting Not Correct After Bios Flash

Hey guys. Flashed bios from 1.1 to beta 1.5 and am now experiencing this problem. I get the message Bios settings not correct. After loading defaults all I get is my monitor going in to "sleep" mode. The only way to get PC to post is to clear the CMOS jumper. I find it odd that my PC booted to Windows fine with 1.1 and now this problem. The reason I flashed to beta is because I have a 2.4a prescott and heard that the beta is more compatible. Any ideas?

I am running at 3.06 right now. Dont ask me what I did.. it just started accepting my OC changes in bios. The only thing I did was install core center and play a bit. After finding that it sucked I uninstalled it. Went into bios and upped my FSB in 5mhz increments. I also loaded optimized defaults first disabling the dynamic OC and the usual settings and changed vcore to 1.425. I still cant get past 3.06, when I try higher, the PC restarts when trying to load windows. Ive tried bumping vcore in increments to 1.5, Northbridge up two notches, AGP at 1.7, RAM at 1.75 all with no luck. I dont want to get too gready but as my temps idle at 40C I feel I have more room to work with. I am going to try and manually enter my mem timings if I can find them and see what happens.
Another thing I've found. When you change the FSB in the bios and it does not boot, wait a while and see what happens. For me about a minute later it finally rebooted and posted but the FSB setting went back to default. You may not have to clear cmos if you wait long enough.
Good point about letting it sit----and then it will finally reboot after about a minute----back to FSB 200---this worked for me a couple of times.
In Bios-----one of the tricks I did was to set the DDR to 466 and 500 and then see how that affected other bios settings----without going ahead and posting.
It showed me that it jumped up my voltages on AGP, VDIMM and Northbridge (and I think soutbridge as well)
Anyway----went back into bios and reset the DDR to 400----1:1----then raised all those voltages---then set my FSB up to about 230. That was really about the highest I could get with any stability. And that just doesn't cut it with a 2.4c which I've known to easily overclock to around 3.2 on an 875 or 865 board.
That's why I think a 3.0c is a good chip for this VERY inexpensive board. At 230 FSB You are doing 3.45 Mghtz which ain't too shappy
Best timings for me were Cas 2.5 4,4,8 and changing the Vlink settings really did nothing that I could tell for performance or stability.
Good Luck----let's us know how it turns out-----John

Partial Delivery Per Item Setting Not Effective

Hi,
Any help greatly appreciated.
We have a business requirement whereby sales orders may be partially shipped but the sales order lines themselves MUST be shipped complete.
Therefore we have set the customer master record accordingly ie Partial Delivery Per Item = C ( Only complete delivery allowed)
This setting is indeed copied into the sales order but the availability check seems to ignore it. Instead it proposes a delivery schedule ie 100 qty del tomorrow, balance in 2 weeks.
I would expect that the availability WOULD NOT split the qty like this instead propose the complete qty in 2 weeks.
I could probably get round this by making the message an error during delivery creation, but I would really like the sales order to behave as expected and make an intelligent 'promise'
Am I missing something somewhere?
Please help.
Regards
Guy

Hi,
You can try the following setting;
In SPRO -> SD -> Basic functions -> availability check and TOR -> Availabity check -> Availability check with ATP logic or against planning -> Define default settings. The t.code is OVZJ.
Here for your sales area, under Availabitlity check rule column, you can assign value B and try.

Equium A300D-16C. not booting after shutdown.

Please, this is a problem i seem not to understand. I have been using my Equium A300d-16c laptop without no problem for over a year until yesterday's evening. i was installing a software(nokia PC suite) which prompted for a restart. the shutting down was normal and for it to restart was a problem. it displays nothing but a blank screen. It is evident it does not boot as when i press the power button it goes of immediately. Only the power indicator is on. Another thing i notice is that the DVD-ROM reads any disc put inside but there is no display of any sort.
My first reaction was that it may be overheating, so i cleaned the cooling vents and blew away dusts from all compartments. but still the problem persists. Please i seek to know what may be the problem before taking it to for repairs. Help Needed. Thanks.

Thanks. There is nothing displayed on the screen. it does not seem to boot into anything, as the powere goes off immediately when the power button is pressed. I have tried to change the ram modules, but still the same problem. i dont know what kind of hardware failure could cause this as it was working fine untill the shutdown. Thanks for the concern.

Browser Language Setting not effective in Application Module

I am using "LANGUAGE = SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','LANG')" in WHERE clause to fetch List data based on User's Language. I saw this in JDev 11g's Fusion Order Demo sample.
It seems that i always get data where LANGUAGE='US', as my AM's locale is always set to en_US. If i set my browser to have "fr" (French) Language, i see that UI Hints for Entity based view objects are displayed in French , but the List data keeps coming back in English.
I also kept some debug statements in prepareSession of AM and i see that "ADFContext.getCurrent().getEnvironment().getRequestLocale()" changes as per Browser Language , but "session.getLocale()" is always set to en_US. If I change AM configuration for jbo.default.language and jbo.default.country , then "session.getLocale()" is changed accordingly. Shouldn't this Locale change based on what user's browser is configured.?

When I change font size using ctl + the settingis not saved after shutdown.

I have poor eye sight .A site I visit daily to read is easier with larger font. I use ctl + to enlarge t6he font but when I shut down my computer and the next time I go to the site it is back to normal. I have noticed that the "SAVE AND QUIT " option is no longer available.

You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

External emails not received after shutdown of Exchange 2010 in coexistence with Exchange 2013

I have exchange 2013 and exchange 2010 in coexistence mode. All mailboxes have been moved to Exchange 2013 and firewall/spamfilters already pointed to Exchange 2013 CAS server. I can receive/send from and to external addresses, however when I shutted down
the Exchange 2010 all incoming external mails were not received. What could be the cause?

Start by re-checking how the device that takes the traffic from the external MX IP to internal is configured.
Sniff the traffic to ensure that it is hitting 2013 directly.

# Example INIT.ORA file
# This file is provided by Oracle Corporation to help you customize

# are discussed, and example settings given.
# Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
# For parameters that require different values in different size
# installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
# and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
# installation size will have three settings, each one commented
# according to installation size.
# Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
# three scenarious provided in this file:
# -------Installation/Database Size------
# SMALL MEDIUM LARGE
# Block 2K 4500K 6800K 17000K
# Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K
# To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
# all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
# of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
# This way, when you change a public
# parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
# necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many
# parameters. For example, if you choose to use private rollback segments,

There are strange things in the file you posted, are you sure that's your init.ora ? where did you find it ?
Moreover, you use "cat" to list the file, but you name "c:\dir" the directory : what is your OS ?
Furthermore, if you use directories, then you don't need to set utl_file_dir in init.ora, and directories don't show up within parameters, you can see them by
SQL> select * from all_directories;

Language setting not loaded in Oracle 9i

I am using Oracle 9i. I've set nls_language=english and nls_date_language=english in init.ora and I've used 'show parameter' to verify that both parameters are set to English. Then I type select to_char(sysdate, 'mon') and I find the date is still not English. But If I use 'alter session set nls_language=English' and then I try again I find the date is English. Why does the parameter in init.ora has no effect?

perhaps you set it in the init but can be that your database is started with spfile.
I am almost sure that it is your case.
ensure that the database is started with init file so:
SQL> startup pfile=<path>/initSID.ora
