10G datapump and external tab on XP

Hi,
A. I used expdp to extract a table data & metadata;
B. I successfully created a DIR & gave associated GRANTS.
C. I successfully created an external using oracle_datapump access driver on the step A dump (a desc cmd is OK).
D. I issue a select * from ext_tab, and got :
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-06512: at line 1
A log is generated with contents :
LOG file opened at 10/02/04 11:03:56
KUP-11010: unable to open at least one dump file for load
I have 10.1.0.2 on XP SP1.
Could anyone help ?
Thank u in advance.
Bernie.

Thanks for your reply.
I am always logged on as the XP administrator (since I do not know how to make a shared-install - i.e., shared among different users/logins on the same local PC; O.U.I does not accept blanks in the install dir path, making it impossible to install in the ...\All Users\... path).
By the way, the log file is properly generated at the dump location.
Any idea ?

How can I enable the center mouse click to open and close tabs in Firefox and Chrome?

I have a MacBook Pro Model A1261 purchased in 2009. On my other mac at work (and my PC) I can center click to open a link in a new tab while in Chrome or FireFox, and also to close a tab by clicking on it in the tabs at the top. I am using an external USB mouse on my MacBook Pro and when I click the center scroll wheel it brings up the dashboard. I looked in the settings but wasn't able to find a way to change that setting for the center button to open and close tabs in my web browser. Is there a way? Please help!

You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
* browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
* browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge

Please Help - Time Capsule and External hard drive Issues

Recently, I switched from Comcast to AT&T uverse as my internet provider and I started experiencing problems.
(1) I have a 4th generation Apple Time Capsule which I am using as my router.
(2) Connected to the Apple Time Capsule - USB - is an external hard drive (not for backup with Time Machine.)
(3) I have a 2011 Macbook pro which I use to access my file on my time capsule and external hard drive.
(4) I had been using my AT&T portable Hotspot from my cell phone to get internet access on my MacBook pro from remote locations to gain access to my external hard drive which is attached to the time capsule.
(5) On August 2, 2014, I switched from Comcast to AT&T and had the AT&T turn off the router function. (I have been using the router from my apple time capsule)
(6) Under Network I switched to bridge mode.
(7) And since August 2, 2014 my time capsule has not been backup.
THE PROBLEM - I need to be able to use the hotspot function from my cell phone to gain access on the external hard drive using my MacBook Pro which I was able to do before. Now it is showing time capsule under finder but unable to connect.
Do I need to reset my Time Capsule since I have a new service provider. Everything else works fine - meaning able to get internet signal but unable to access my external hard drive and backup my time capsule. Please HELP.

(5) On August 2, 2014, I switched from Comcast to AT&T and had the AT&T turn off the router function. (I have been using the router from my apple time capsule)
(6) Under Network I switched to bridge mode.
(7) And since August 2, 2014 my time capsule has not been backup.
If you got ATT to turn off router function in their modem..
Then 6. is wrong.. You cannot have the Network switched to bridge mode..
You must have it set to dhcp and nat.
That is also why you cannot backup.. the TC is off the network.
Please change back to router mode in the TC.
Ensure the internet tab shows dhcp and you create a wireless network.
Then power down the TC... power down the ATT modem.. wait about 20min (you can try 5min.. but it might not be long enough).
Power up the ATT modem.. wait 2min for things to flash lights in de right blinkin order.. then start the TC.
Open the airport utility and make sure your TC captured the public IP and is now working as the router.
That should fix that end of it.. the hotspot end??
Tell us what happens.

About time capsule and external hard disk

I have got rMBP. I also have got time capsule. External WD hard disk is connected to time capsule.
I have got 3 users in my rMBP:
(1) Admin : Administrator
(2) User A : I normally do all my work from this user.
(3) User B: I recently added this new user.
Here, using Finder tabs, User A can see time capsule and External WD hard disk. But, Admin and User B cannot. I also want User B to have the ability to see WD hard disk (and time capsule). For User B and Admin, time capsule does show up, but it shows as not connected. How can I provide User B the ability to see External WD hard disk (since User B needs to store large different files there)? Any permission issue on hard disk?
(Amazingly backup does take place automatically even if I am connected as User B or Admin).
I will appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

Hi,
hi emma, and welcome to discussions
Once the external HD is turned on my Time Capsule is not longer recognized. I can't connect to Time Capsule and make any backups. It is also no longer appearing in the Airport settings.
you could try a power cycle on your devices. turn off modem, TC, and HD for, say, 10 minutes. turn the modem back on for 2 minutes, followed by the HD, followed by the TC.
then go airport utility > manual setup > disks. see if your HD is showing beneath the TC

ICal server and external invitations via 3rd party mail server

Hi everyone,
OS 10.6.5 Server:
Services running
AFP
DNS
iCal
Open Directory
Push Notification
We are currently testing iCal server and have configured it to send out invites via our mail server (which is running on a different server) by creating the com.apple.calendarserver user on our mail server.
Email notifications are then configured under the Enable Email Invitations tab in the iCal service of Server Admin as follows:
IMAP
Email address: [email protected]
Incoming server: mail.mytest.com
Port: 143 (not using SSL)
Username: com.apple.calendarserver
Password: secret
SMTP: mail.mytest.com
Port: 25 (not using SSL)
Server requires authentication
Username: com.apple.calendarserver
Password: secret
My test OD users are able to send out invites both internally to other iCal users and externally via email.
So for example, I invite someone to a meeting and enter their gmail address ([email protected]), the invitation goes out correctly - when I log into gmail I see the invitation.
When responding to the invitation (clicking Yes), the mail server receives the response from gmail and the iCal server collects the message via IMAP.
However, the iCal server doesn't seem to parse the received email correctly as I get the following error in the iCal error logs:

I have set a rule on our mail server to bypass any spam filtering for all messages sent to the [email protected] address, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
Does anyone else have this working ? Any ideas ?
Many thanks

The issue is not "user authorization". The issue is that the 3rd-party service does not accept all incoming relay requests unless there is authentication with a registered account (which we have). This protects the 3rd-party service from becoming the relaying host for the universe's spoofed and anonymous spam. My deduction is that there is no mechanism in UTL_MAIL to designate not only the 3rd-party ip-address:port (by-passing the local sendmail server) but also providing the username:password for the account there for authentication.
Plan A: I have attempted to follow directions for client-side SMTP Authentication for Relaying on the sendmail.org site.
I have not been successful in completing a simple mailx interactive test, much less completing a UTL_MAIL configuration.
I am scouring the user universe for someone who has put all the pieces together successfully and can advise. . . .
Edited by: StevenInTallyFl on Mar 26, 2010 3:50 PM
to clarify that I cannot get from UTL_MAIL to 3rd-party IP directly

Singl/Multiple Server Oracle 10g DB and AS- Advantages and DisAdvantages

Hi Friends,
I am using Application1 using Oracle 10g Application Server and Oracle 10g database.
Now i planned to use Application2 using Oracle 10g AS and Oracle 10g DB
I need to know what will be the Advantages and Disadvantages if i have the schema for Application2 in the existing Oracle 10g DB / having it in another Oracle 10g DB Server
sameway what will be the advantages and disadvantages if i have the Application2 regsiterd in existing Oracle 10g AS(Multiple OC4J Instance) / having it in another Oracle 10g AS Server.
Regards

To start the list, for me some of the advantages are:
Same DB:
- less overhead and wasted CPU Cycles (therefore potentially lower license fees)
- easier maintenance (backup, recovery)
- easier tuning (fewer conflicting external environments asking for same resources)
- Oracle is designed for this, allows use of Resource Manager
- technically RAC is a clustered 'same DB'
Same AS:
- less overhead and wasted CPU Cycles (therefore potentially lower license fees)
- easier maintenance (backup, recovery)
- easier tuning (fewer conflicting external environments asking for same resources)
- Oracle is designed for this, use AS clustering
Different DB:
- separate maintenance (patch, upgrade) cycles for different SLA
- easier tuning (isolate tuning to one app)
- easier security (most developers have no idea about Oracle security and make merge impossible)
Different AS:
- separate maintenance (patch, upgrade) cycles for different SLA
- easier tuning (isolate tuning to one app)
- easier security (most developers have no idea about security)

"Files" and other tabs not visible for document library after script editor webpart is added

I created a document library and uploaded a few documents to ti. On the ribbon, I could see both "Files" and "Library" tabs. I then added a Script Editor webpart to this page because I needed to run some javascript on this
page. Now, when I go to that document library page (AllItems.aspx) then I don't see the Files and Library tab. My guess is that this is because these tabs are context sensitive so they only appear when Sharepoint knows you're working with a document
library and since now I have both the webpart that shows the document library and the Script editor webpart, that context is not there. If I click somewhere on the page close to the actual list of documents, then the Files and Library tabs reappear since
now Sharepoint knows that I'm working with a document library. Is there any way aroudn this? We don't want to have to ask our customer to click somewhere on the screen in order to get access to these tabs. I'm not sure why Sharepoint would
be confused by the Script editor webpart. It is not visible so when the page is not in edit more, you can't even see that Script editor. So, my question is: is there any way to:
- either find some other way of using javascript on this page (maybe external javascript file with some link to it on the page?
- or, some way to force the Fiels and Library tabs to be visible no matter what (i.e. despite having the Script editor webpart on the page).
I also experienced this issue when I wanted to insert some customized text on the same page that had a document library. For example, I created a document library and then on the AllItems.aspx page I inserted a content editor webpart so that I can
show some text at the top. That also caused the Files and Library tabs to disappear.
thanks,

Hi,
I understand Files/Libraray tab disappear after you add web parts to a document library, once you click somewhere in library list, it will appear again.
This is by design. As workaround, please try to use SharePoint Desginer to edit Allitems page of document library instead of using script web part.

Hide and show tab canvas

Is it possible to disable all the tabs in a tab canvas in Forms 10g?
I am developing a new form in Forms 10g. Problem is with hiding and showing tab canvases.
I have a main canvas and a tab canvas.
In the when-new-form-instance I need to hide the two tabs. I have a list item that has two values. Based on the value chosen in the list I need to show the tab canvas. How can I do it. I tried hide_view and show_view. It gives me an error FRM-41053. Cannot find canvas Invalid ID.
Help is appreciated. Thaks in advance

What is Internal and External format in data source

Hi friends,
can any body explain me about Internal format and External format
while we creating datas0ource. on what basis we choose these.
could any plz explain me.
Thanks in advance,
Thanks and Regards,
Madhavi

Hi Madhavi,
In BW the Internal Format of data is different then external format (the one we use in general) for example date is stored in the format as "YYYYMMDD".
Now if you are loading some data in BW where the Format is different than YYYYMMDD then you have to convert it using Conversion Routines.
Please go to SE37 and put CONVER and you can find a lot of conversion routines , alternatively you can go to infoobject and in General tab you can use F4 help dropdown for various conversion routines available in BW.
Hope it Helps
Thanks

History, Downloads and previous tabs wiped out upon re-boot

I have looked at all of the posts on this but none of the solutions proposed works. As long as I do not reboot my computer, the history and tabs are retained. As soon as I reboot, everything (downloads, tabs, history) gets wiped out. This just started a few days ago so the question is, what has changed? How do I figure out what has triggered this problem?

To my knowledge, Firefox doesn't do any different kind of clean-up when you restart your computer compared with when you close and restart Firefox in between Windows boots.
If the problem is limited to Windows restarts, I suspect that some external software might be involved. For example, software that cleans up personal data or software used to "sandbox" your browser so that it can't store settings directly on the hard drive. Do either of those sound like potential factors on your system?
Do you know what the IOBit Apps Toolbar extension is for? One description I saw in a search was some kind of adware. If that just showed up recently, it could be that some "free" software you installed includes unexpected or unwanted components and may be affecting Firefox. At a minimum I suggest disabling that extension here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
You might consider making additional backups of your settings folder. This would capture the last state of your history/bookmarks file (places.sqlite) and open tabs (sessionstore.js) so that if necessary you could restore them. Depending on what is clearing these files, you might need to store them externally (e.g., on a USB flash drive or in cloud storage). These might help:
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/febe/ (for latest version, see the versions page: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/febe/versions/]) (I haven't tried this add-on myself)

External tab fileds getting populated

thanks a lot for all your inputs.the issue was resolved-there was one setting in Plant Maintenance "default values for task list data and profile assignemtns" where you can in turn maintain an External Profile and in this external profile the values defaulted had been maintained.the config settings are done for Plant and Order Type combination and there was one setting with all the values defaulted ++++.that created the problem
thanks for all the concerns.

How to share my mac and external hdd?

Hey
I was wondering about something.
I have a mac at home, with an external HDD connected. Is there some way that i can get access to the mac HDD and external HDD through the web from another computer (probably a PC)? The thing is that i often can't bring my MacBook with me, and therefore has to access some files from remote access. I have had a look on several guides, but they don't solve the problem, as i don't have the "FTP-sharing" tab in System Preferences -> Sharing.
Any way to solve this? Btw, my mac is connected to a pretty fast broadband, so the connection is no problem.

Non-Web Server Publishing Rule for Internal and External

Hi there,
I have a problem with my TMG and publishing SSH for Internal and External users to an internal Server.
Network:
Internal Network
SSH Server, 10.10.10.25
Internal DNS record "ssh.domain.com" pointing to 10.10.10.254
TMG Server, 10.10.10.254/192.168.0.254
External Network
External DNS record "ssh.domain.com pointing to 192.168.0.254
I want my users (internal AND external) using their SSH client to connect to ssh.domain.com and TMG to forward the request to the SSH server. Note that internal clients and the SSH server are in the same network.
I have created a custom "SSH Server" protocol with inbound TCP for port 22 and created a Non-Web Server publishing rule.
Traffic Tab: SSH Server Protocol
From Tab: Internal, External
To Tab: 10.10.10.25, original client
Networks Tabs: Internal, External
External users cann connect without a problem, all fine here. Internal users get a timout. The TMG Log says: Denied Connection (Default Rule,
The policy rules do not allow the user request) and doesn´t recognize this is an inbound request. The log gives me dest IP 10.10.10.254 and protocol SSH and not 10.10.10.25 and SSH Server.
I read a lot of networking rules and NAT/Routing, tried a bit but never got a success.
Can you help me fix or working around this and tell me whats going on there and if there a limitations in TMG I don´t know yet?
Regards,
Sascha

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that request was denied by the TMG rules so the request from the internal users
could not be forwarded to the SSH server. I would appreciate it if you can post the logs to us and the results of running ipconfig/all on the TMG server.
In addition, maybe you can change the firewall policy only from
External and add another firewall policy for the internal user to see if the issue persists.

Datapumps and Imp/Exp

what is the primary difference between datapumps and imp/exp utilities?
Thank you

The 10g Utilities manual lists the new capabilities that Data Pump provides over imp/exp:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#i1010248
That is a pretty complete list. The original exp/imp chapter mentions two things that should be fairy obvious:
You need to use the original imp to import dump files generated by the original exp.
You need to use exp to generate files that can be read by imp on earlier (pre-10) versions of Oracle.
Last but not least, many of us have become accustomed to writing to and reading from named pipes with exp and imp. This is a popular way to compress or pipe across rsh/ssh on the fly. Unfortunately, this is impossible with Data Pump! I would say that is among the most strenuous complaints I hear about Data Pump.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems n

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.
