Need clarification on working of different type of locks.

Hi,
I was reading about the table locks in oracle documentation but get some confused with their working. Like I have read following section-
ROW SHARE ROW SHARE permits concurrent access to the locked table but prohibits users from locking the entire table for exclusive access. ROW SHARE is synonymous with SHARE UPDATE, which is included for compatibility with earlier versions of Oracle Database.
ROW EXCLUSIVE ROW EXCLUSIVE is the same as ROW SHARE, but it also prohibits locking in SHARE mode. ROW EXCLUSIVE locks are automatically obtained when updating, inserting, or deleting.
SHARE UPDATE See ROW SHARE.
SHARE SHARE permits concurrent queries but prohibits updates to the locked table.
SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE is used to look at a whole table and to allow others to look at rows in the table but to prohibit others from locking the table in SHARE mode or from updating rows.
EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE permits queries on the locked table but prohibits any other activity on it.
After reading this, I get confused about working of every type of lock. Can anyone make clear to me, what is the difference between them?
Thanks in advance,
Sachin Jaiswal

You never did provide any info about what what it was about the LOCKs you had trouble understanding so that it might help others.

  • Problems working with different types of aggregation in two facts table

    Hello every Body!! Greetings from Brazil..
    At fisrt I'd like to say that I've tried to find some thead with the same problem, but I've foud no answere. That is why I'm typing this new post.
    Here we go ...
    I've a Fact table with one metric and two degenerate dimensions..
    For exemple:
    Invoice_number
    Puschase_Date
    Purchase_Value$
    When I model it at Business Model Mapping, I used the Aggregation's type below:
    Invoice_number - None
    Puschase_Date - None
    Purchase_Value - Sum
    So far it works fine at Answeres area.. Since I use only values from this Fact..
    But... if I try to join values from two different Facts Table (both of them sharing the same Dimensions) and the Second Fact has an aggregated value, it does'nt work... I get 'null' as values (metrics) of the second Fact Table...
    I think that it is caused because I'm working whith different types of aggregation, but I don't know the solution.
    By the wat, the second Fact I've told has only one metric, aggregated whith 'SUM'.
    Is there a solution? Any hint?
    Tks.
    Vettore

    int x = (int)(7 + 3.0 / 4.0 * 2); //the variable will do the math bracket first. then the va type will still be an int because int was never changed.
    Following the standard order of operations, 3.0/4.0 will result in a double, then 2 will be converted to a double before being multiplied to the result, then 7 is converted to a double before being added to the result, and then the (int) cast will force a conversion
    back to an int.
    Console.WriteLine((1 + 1) / 2 * 3); // 1 + 1 will be done first then 1 / 2 then * by 3
    Correct.
    I THINK THATS ALL WRONG ^ =/ like the comments

  • Help needed - setting password policies for different types of accounts

    Hello,
    We have a situation where we have different types of users created on a solaris server. We have regular users, admins, functional accounts and device accounts. Of course solaris does not differentiate between regular user and other types, i think. The default password policy applies to all the users on the server. I want to configure different policy for different types of user accounts. Is it possible? The difference between the accounts on our side is
    Regular user accounts - 8 digit numbers ( 00667265) - expire password every 90 days
    Functional accounts - 8 digits starting with F ( F0253466) - do not expire, but password length must be 10-12 and complex
    Device Accounts - 8 digits starting with Z ( Z2367249) - do not expire, but password length must be 12 and complex - like upper case, lower case, number, special chars etc.
    Is it possible to set up different password policies, is so how?

    The password expiration policy is pretty easy, it can be set on a per account basis when the account is created. I'm not aware of a simple way to define a complexity policy for groups of accounts but the policy is enforced using pam, so you should be able to write a pam module which would enforce your complexity policy. The pam manual page would be a reasonable starting point for learning about pam.

  • Need clarification regarding Work status rule

    Hi All,
    I have a work state "Submitted" which is controlled by "owner".
    My work status is driven by following dimensions in the application:
    u2022Entity  - Owner dimension
    u2022Category
    u2022Time
    Entity hierarchy is as follows : A
                                                      |____B
                                                      |____C
    Now considering that user is owner of member "A", I set the work status to "Submitted". (Note: B and C does not have any owner)
    It gives error "controlled by rule has been violated".
    On the other side, one of the document tells states that "If the user is acting as an owner and the selected member has no parent, the user also acts as a manager (top hierarchy), they can select a work status controlled by "Owner", "Manager" or "Both"".
    Going by this rule, in the scenario which i have explained above, it should set the work status as "submitted". But it is throwing error.
    Kindly clarify if my understanding is wrong.

    Hi,
    The problem is arising because as per the setup, only the owner can change the work state to submitted. However, there are no owners for the child members.
    You can try changing the setting to manager. If you login as owner of A, then you will be able to change the work state of A (since you are your own manager because A is the top node) and you will be able to change B and C also (since you are the manager).
    Alternatively, you need to maintain the same user as the owner of B and C.
    You have rightly indicated the statement "If the user is acting as an owner and the selected member has no parent, the user also acts as a manager (top hierarchy), they can select a work status controlled by "Owner", "Manager" or "Both"".
    However, if you take a look at this statement, this is valid if the setting is manager. But in your case, the setting is owner. And there are no owners of the children.
    Hope this helps.

  • Polling File having different type

    Hi,
    I have a use case where i need to read file having different type of delimiter data eg :
    Abc,123,xyz
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    This seems doable with nxsd. In our case, each row seems to be a different type of record and you can handle this case using a sequence of elements (one for each record type).
    For example,
    <schema...>
    <element name="terminated">
      <complexType>
        <sequence>
          <element name="record1" type="tns:record_type1"/>
          <element name="record2" type="tns:record_type2"/>
          <element name="record3" type="tns:record_type3"/>
        </sequence>
      </complexType>
    </element>
    <complexType name="record_type1">
       <sequence>
              <element name="elem1" type="string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy=","/>
              <element name="elem2" type="string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy=","/>
               <element name="elem3" type="string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy="${eol}"/> 
       </sequence>
    </complexType>
    <complexType name="record_type2">
    <sequence>
              <element name="elem1" type="string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy=";"/>
              <element name="elem2" type="string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy=","/>
               <element name="elem3" type="string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy="${eol}"/> 
       </sequence>

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

  • HT204382 What do I need to down load to make Quick Time play different types of files, like mPeg etc?

    I'm new to this site and to my REfurbished 13" Mac Book Pro. I really love this note book! IO wish I had gotten the REtina Display now. I passed on it because It didn't have a lot of storage space. But what was I thinking....I don't want to fill this note book with hundreds of Albums and load my nearly 5000 photos onto it. I wouldn't want to slow it down by having to wait for it to load all the data everytime I turned it on.
    I tried to down load a file from a trusted friend, the Quick Time Player icon appeared in the Dock when I opened the down loadopened. Along with it, a message of sorts came up saying I need to download something else to make this file open/play. Any idea what I should get to make the Quick Time Player able to play more different types of files/clips?

  • I need clarification regarding REFERENCE TYPES and CASTING.

    Hello all,
    I'm taking a course on the fundamental of JAVA. Everything's been going smoothly until I slammed into the the concept of CASTING and REFERENCE TYPES. Flat--out == I DON'T GET IT?
    I'm having trouble with...
    CONVERTING REFERENCE TYPES
    CASTING BETWEEN REFERENCE TYPES
    WORKING WITH REFERENCE TYPES
    I understand what's happening from an academic vantage point. I just don't understand why you'd want to convert REFERENCE TYPES? What would be an application of such an exercise?
    1. What IS a REFERENCE TYPE -- exactly?
    a. what are we referencing?
    b. type? type of what??
    for example... why would you want to do a widening conversion, a conversion of the hierarchy tree?
    I understand the concept of OBJECTS, CLASSES, METHODS and CONSTRUCTORS so far...
    I think it's the terminology that's screwing my up.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    ok... wow, thanks J.
    So--in a nutshell-- we're making it so that different
    objects:
    ie,. ford(), chevy(), honda(), lotus() and
    dealers()... so and so forth()...
    all share the resources(for lack of a better word) of
    the Auto Class? because all of those auto brand
    objects and one redically different object can be
    unrelated, correct?Um, yes and no.
    I just ran with the example you had, but that probably included too many concepts and they got muddied up.
    Yes, Chevy, Ford etc. all share the characteristics of Auto, since they're all subclasses. But that's just inheritance, and has nothing to do with casting.
    A "reference type" can loosely be described as a variable that refers to an object. (Constrasted with "primitive types" which are int, char, float, etc. and don't refer to objects--they just hold values.)
    Casting just tells the compiler that even though as far as it knows you only have a reference to some superclass, the object that reference points to will in fact be an instance of a subclass, and so treat it as such (e.g., we can now call methods that the subclass has that the superclass lacks).
    (You can also cast primitives, but one thing at a time.)
    So let's say you have class A (which extends object) and B extends A.
    A a = new B();
    B b = a; // won't compile. compiler sees the "A a" on the left of the =, not "new B()" on the right.
    B b = (B)a; // works because we're telling the compiler, "Dude, I'm seriously. This is a B.
    Note that if we had done new A() instead of new B(), it would still compile--the compiler would trust us. But at runtime, we'd get a ClassCastException, since we wouldn't actually have a B object.

  • "You have connected two terminals of different types" Index Array won't work

    So I have a 3D array finally. Now I want to index that array and display the contents of a certain element on a new array. When I index a 2D array, this method works just fine. But when I change it to 3D array, Labview gives me the following error:
    You have connected two terminals of different types. The type of the source is string. The of the sink is 1D array of string.
    So I'm assuming the 1D arry it speaks of is referring to the indicator array that the index should spout out the contents of the element I'm looking for. And the source string is the 3D array. I've tried changing the dimensions of the 1D array to match that of the source 3D array, but nothing is working yet. I've attached a pic of the problem below.

    LVerror.JPG ‏20 KB

    This might be another problem of understanding what the data represents.  You are telling the code that you have a 3D array, and you want to pull out a single element, a scalar string, by specifying the row, the column and the page to find the data.  But then you are trying to display this single item into a indicator that is a 1D array.  You are trying to display a single cell of data, into a column of data.  Either replace your 1D array with a scalar string, or when you index your array specify a row or column to display.

  • The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Outcome: Unknown Error

    Received this error (The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.) recently on a workflow that was
    working fine and no changes were made to the workflow.
    I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
    to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
    are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
    We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
    The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type. 
    The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010. 
    Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
    Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine. 
    We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect. 
    Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
    Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
    If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.

  • About virtual channel in different device and/or different type channel

    Hi all,
      I am looking for a way to write to several analog channels at the same time. In my code, I didnt' pay much attention to that, I just have them placed in the the same frame in the flat sequence such that they might be started to write simultaneously. However, sometimes they might not working perfectly. I am reading something on DAQmx and I found that there is something call virtual channel so I have put more than 1 channel into a unit (called virtual cahnnel), so I can write something to it at the same time. Here are my question
    1) what's the different between virtual channel and channel group? If I write a array of 3 elements to a channel group (consists of dev1/ao1, dev1/ao2 and dev1/ao5),  am I writing to channel group or virtual channel?
    2) can I bind different channels from different devices to form a virtual channel, e.g. dev0/ao0 dev1/ao0 dev2/ao0?
    3) can I bind different type of channel to form a virtual channel, e.g. dev0/ao0, dev0/port0/line0?
    4) last question is about synchronization on writing to a virtual channel (or channel group?) Last say I have a pulse train each pulse is separated in time by 1.2ms and total time is 122.4ms. The pulse train will be sent to dev0/ao3, and at 12ms after start send very first pulse of the train, I need to write two analog signal to dev1/ao1 and dev1/ao5. In my current code, create a flat sequence, start the task for sending the train in the first frame, put delay in second frame and delay for 12ms, write dev1/ao1 and dev1/ao5 in the third frame. For some times, this gives me acceptable timing but not always. I wonder how does it help to use virtual channel?
    In the similar situtation, what about if instead of writing to two analog channel, I write to one analog channel and one digital channel?
    Thanks.

    1) virtual channel is created per task and contains a collection of settings such as a name, a physical channel, input terminal connections, the type of measurement or generation, and can include scaling information.. A virtual group is specific to digital IO and has to deal with the way you read/write data off/to the port
    2) yes you can create a task with physical channels from multiple devices assuming they are comparable writes (ie all analog or all analog read, or all digital) but they will have the same channel characteristics (see answer above)
    3) no you cannot create a task that handle an AO and a DO from with in the same task
    4) if you created a task you are using a virtual channel. The only way to ensure timing is to use hardware timing (ie onboard sample clock of you DAQ card) otherwise the reads/writes are basically interrupts and you are at the mercy of the OS to service the interrupt request
    if you need more information please repost with more questions, include your DAQ hardware, and any code pictures to give us a better idea of what you are trying to accomplish and how you are going about it

  • How to send different type of data

    Hello, everyone,
    I am trying to send different types of data between client and server.
    For example, from server to client, I need to send some String data, using PrintWriter.println(String n); and send some other stuff using OutputStream.write(byte[] b, int x, int y). What I did is setting up a socket, then send them one by one. But it didn't work.
    I am just wondering if there is anything I need to do right after I finished sending the String data and before I start sending other stuff using OutputStream. (Because if I only send one of them, then it works; but when I send them together, then the error always happened to the second one no matter I use PrintWriter first or the OutputStream first)

    To send mixed type of data by hand allways using the same output/input stream, you could do:
    on server side
            ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
            Socket clientSocket = null;
            OutputStream out = null;
            try
                /*setup a socket*/
                serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4444);
                clientSocket = clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
                out = new BufferedOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
                /*send a byte*/
                int send1 = 3;
                out.write(send1);
                /*send a string with a line termination*/
                String send2 = "a string sample";
                out.write(send2.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"));
                out.write('\n');
            finally
                try { out.close(); }
                catch (Exception e) {}
                try { clientSocket.close(); }
                catch (Exception e) {}
                try { serverSocket.close(); }
                catch (Exception e) {}
    on client side
            Socket clientSocket = null;
            InputStream in = null;
            try
                clientSocket = new Socket("localhost", 4444);
                in = new BufferedInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
                /*receive the byte*/
                int receive1 = in.read();
                System.out.println("The received message #1 is: " + receive1);
                /*receive the string up to the line termination*/
                ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                int c;
                while (((c = in.read()) != '\n') && (c != -1))
                    baos.write(c);
                String receive2 = baos.toString("ISO-8859-1");
                System.out.println("the received message #2 is: " + receive2);
            finally
                try { in.close(); }
                catch (Exception e) {}
                try { clientSocket.close(); }
                catch (Exception e) {}

  • BPM, Workflow and Netweaver - Need Clarification

    Hi Guru,
    I am new to workflow, BPM and Netweaver.  I have several questions about those concepts.
    1. What is/are the different between workflow and webflow.  Which scenario should take workflow into consideration? Which scenario webflow can be applied to?
    2. What is/are the different between workflow and BPM.  If I am going to implement workflow in a company, do I need to implement business workflow as well as BPM?
    3. I need clarification on Netweaver platform and concept.
    4. What is/are the different between workflow in R/3 and workflow under Netweaver?
    5. If I am going to implement workflow integrated with R/3 and Outlook email, do I need to buy new wrokflow for Netweaver and Netweaver platform or alternatively, I can use business workflow module under R/3 system?
    Sorry for many questions asked. I am new to those products.  I am now working on software selection for workflow technology.  My company is going to implement new workflow to client.  Thank you very much.
    Cheers,

    Please ask only one (or closely related) questions per thread. This makes it a lot easier to get a good structure in the database of previously answered questions. While we are on the subject of previously answered questions, I think you should have a look at them....
    My suggestion is therefore:
    1. Close this thread
    2. Read the Frequently Answered Questions. Before you ask (here are many workflow answers)
    3. Search the forum.
    4. Create new threads if you have questions afterwards.

  • When I go to Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    After the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 update When I go to use Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.
