10g Streams with 9i and 8i DBs

In one of the messages on this forum it was stated that Streams 9i supported Oracle 8i v6 databases and above. Does that still hold true with 10g Streams?

were do i find document 131299.1.??? fairly new to oracle in general sorry...if u could post a link in it would be great...

  • Problem in using socket streams with encryption and decryption

    Hi,
    I am developing a client/server program with encryption and decryption at both end. While sending a message from client it should be encrypted and at the receiving end(server) it should be decrypted and vice versa.
    But while doing so i got a problem if i use both encryption and decryption at both ends. But If i use only encryption at one (only outputstream) and decryption at other end(only inputstream) there is no problem.
    Here is client/server pair of programs in which i am encrypting the outputstream of the socket in client side and decrypting the inputstream of the socket in server side.

    **** I know that the CInput tries to read some header stuff thats why i used two threads for input and output.
    Waiting for the reply.
    Thank you.

    Do not ever post your code unless requested to. It is very annoying.
    Try testing what key is being used. Just to test this out, build a copy of your program and loop the input and outputs together. Have them print the data stream onto the screen or a text file. Compare the 1st Output and the 2nd Output and the 1st Input with the 2nd Input and then do a static test of the chipher with sample data (same data which was outputted), then do another cipher test with the ciphertext created by the first test.
    Everything should match - if it does not then follow the steps below.
    Case 1: IO Loops do not match
    Case 2: IO Loops match, but ciphertext 1st run does not match loop
    Case 3: IO Loops match, 1st ciphertext 1st run matches, but 2nd run does not
    Case 4: IO Loops match, both chiphertext runs do not match anything
    Case 5: Ciphertext runs do not match eachother when decrypted correctly (outside of the test program)
    Problems associated with the cases above:
    Case 1: Private Key is changing on either side (likely the sender - output channel)
    Case 2: Public Key is changing on either side (likely the sender - output channel)
    Case 3: Private Key changed on receiver - input channel
    Case 4: PKI failure, causing private key and public key mismatch only after a good combination was used
    Case 5: Same as Case 4

  • Direct streaming with samba and DLNA/UPNP capable players

    Hello,
    I have mediatomb running on my server which streams media to my PS3. However, I would like to do the same with my arch machines, but I can't find any players or plugins with upnp functionality. Amarok, AFAIK, doesn't have such capability. Although I always prefered this method for watching media, now I really need it because playing through samba is impossible. When I try to play media from samba shares, all players download the content locally and then start playing it (unless I mount the samba share, sth I would like to avoid). The same happens with every file, pdfs, rtfs, etc - the file is downloaded locally and then opens in its application. There was a hack for mplayer that allowed direct streaming, but now it doesn't work (changing the "exec" value in the gmplayer.desktop file and adding the %F parameter). Maybe there is a hack for Dolphin that changes this behaviour?

    even wrote:For share folders you can use ushare. It works fine with dlna and upnp. But doesnt have a GUI, only config files and a daemon. Works with ps3 and xbox360.
    Well, what I actually need is a UPnP media renderer or player. Mediatomb is a UPnP server, similar to ushare, and I am very happy with it.

  • Need example of the use of AQ Streams with JMS and no JNDI

    This question may be a stretch, but help me if you can.
    I do not have Oracle Internet Directory, but I do have 10g database and queues created.
    I would like to use plain JMS 1.1 wherever is that possible, but I understand that I will need to use Oracle AQjmsFactory to get to the connection and queue objects.
    Does anyone has any examples on how to do this. When I use patches of examples that oracle provides I get NullPointerException.
    Thank you,

    We started with the sample encoder and receiver available
    here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/broadcast_receiver.html
    Great article and sample apps!
    We were broadcasting and receiving within an hour.
    Then we integrated the necessary AS into our own custom
    encoders and players.
    Good luck!

  • Need help with setting up a stream with FMLE and FMS

    Hi guys!
    I'm new to this stuff, so i would love if you could guide me, and/or tell me if what i'm trying to do is even possible.
    This is what i'm trying to do:
    I am currently working on a project for Narvik University College in Norway. We are experimenting with remote control of some lab equipment. We want to stream live video from the lab for the students to see.
    So..
    I want to set up a stream from my webcam that can be accessed through a webpage by anyone (with minimal delay)
    This is what i understand i have to do:
    Use FMLE to connect to the webcam, and connect FMLE to FMS, and somehow get this out on my webpage.
    It's the Flash Media Server bit i don't understand. How do i go about to get this out on my webpage? Do I have to use a Flash Streaming service like Onyxservers to do this, or can i do this part myself? If yes, how complicated is this?
    Best Regards
    Daniel Bjørkman
    Narvik University College

    OK, i have now managed to set up the Flash Media Server and made a simple flash application that shows the stream.
    But now, everything is local, and if i want to embed the stream on the webpage, i guess it can't be local.
    The source in the flash application is "rtmp://localhost/live/livestream" and shows the webcam when i open the .html file (with the flash video embedded) on this computer. What should the source look like when i embed the flash file in a webpage that is not on this computer?

  • Video Streaming with JSP and JMF.

    Hi. I have this problem. I'm projecting (not building yet) a system. In this system i have a Local Computer, a server, and a Web Page (JSP). The Local Computer is going to capture video from a WebCam with JMF. This videos is going to be passed to the server by RTP Control. A Web Page (JSP) is gonna acess the server to get this video and show it (Real Time Streaming).
    My doubt is, how I can do that on JSP ? How i can get the video from server (remebering that this one is getting the video from the local computer) and show it in my page ?

    no one ????

    It is possible to disable the upload of photos to photostream from selected devices like an iPhone?  I like the idea of photoshare, but don't like that it automatically uploads all of my phone's pics to my iPhoto on my shared Mac at home.

  • I've reinstalled my MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) using a different apple ID, and now I can't install any iLife apps. In the app store it comes up with "Accept" and then tells me It can't accept from my user ID. How can I fix this or get iLife back?

    Mostly explained in the title. My dad gave me his MacBook, and I went ahead and wiped all of his stuff by using the recovery partition to wipe/reinstall OSX Lion. In the setup I used a new apple ID and now I can't get iLife apps. I'm relatively new to how apple works its purchases, so I'm not sure what's up. Is it that my computer has a unique ID set to the first apple ID used on it, and if so, how can I get this reset to my ID? I'm planning to get an iPhone 5 soon so I'd like to be able to use photo stream with iPhoto and try out Guitar Band.
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • How can I read a binary file stream with many data type, as with AcqKnowledge physio binary data file?

    I would like to read in and write physiological data files which were saved by BioPac�s AcqKnowledge 3.8.1 software, in conjunction with their MP150 acquisition system. To start with, I�d like to write a converter from different physiodata file format into the AcqKnowledge binary file format for version 3.5 � 3.7 (including 3.7.3). It will allow us to read different file format into an analysis package which can only read in file written by AcqKnowledge version 3.5 � 3.7 (including 3.7.3).
    I attempted to write a reader following the Application Note AS156 entitled �AcqKnowledge File Format for PC with Windows� (see http://biopac.com/AppNotes/ app156Fi
    leFormat/FileFormat.htm ). Note the link for the Mac File format is very instructive too - it is presented in a different style and might make sense to some people with C library like look (http://biopac.com/AppNotes/ app155macffmt/macff.htm).
    I guess the problem I had was that I could not manage to read all the different byte data stream with File.vi. This is easy in C but I did not get very far in LabView 7.0. Also, I was a little unsure which LabView data types correspond to int, char , short, long, double, byte, RGB and Rect. And, since it is for PC I am also assuming the data to be written as �little endian� integer, and thus I also used byte swap vi.
    Two samples *.acq binary files are attach to this post to the list. Demo.acq is for version 3.7-3.7.2, while SCR_EKGtest1b.acq was recorded and saved with AcqKnowledge 3.8.1, which version number is 41.
    I would be grateful if you someone could explain how to handle such binary file stream with LabView and send an example to i
    llustrate it.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    The reading of double is also straight forward : just use a dble float wired to the type cast node, after inverting the string (indian conversion).
    See the attached example.
    The measure of skin thickness is based on OCT (optical coherent tomography = interferometry) : an optical fiber system send and received light emitted to/back from the skin at a few centimeter distance. A profile of skin structure is then computed from the optical signal.

    One more step...
    short are U16 integer
    double are double precision float
    bool seem to be 2 bytes (= U16)
    char are string (variable length)
    rgb are U16 integer, with high order byte = 0
    rect should be 4 x U16 (top, left, bottom, right)

  • Creating a report with user and lastlogintime

    Hello,
    I need to create a report to show the users and their lastlogintime.
    How can this be accomplished?
    We have OIM 10g integrated with OAM and OID.
    Thanks
    Khanh

    Hi,
    Yes, It should be possible if your OAM is storing user's session.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e15478/session.htm#CHDDAGHI
    Try to make some SQL queries using OAM DB and execute those queries using BI publisher to generate the reports.
    Just check whether OOTB OAM reports includes any such kind of reports.

  • Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

    We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
    I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
    Thanks.

    If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
    this is only a sample of how to do it
    RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
    --first we allocate the channel default channel.
    RMAN>RUN
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
    SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    STARTUP MOUNT;
    BACKUP DATABASE;
    SHUTDOWN
    }then once you have it, you can do what you want.
    It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.
    Bye Alessandro

  • Does managing Oracle 10g RAC with ASM require full root access?

    We currently have three entirely separate support areas, Unix, Storage and DBA. We're now considering using Oracle 10g RAC with ASM and as part of the assessment trying to work out if we can still draw similar support boundaries. I know that installing RAC and configuring ASM requires root access but will DBA continue to need root access to manage & support RAC? If so, does anyone know if the commands they need can be RBAC'd or if we just need to share root access going forwards. I've had a look at a number of docs including http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/toc.htm. which is fairly informative but none of them seem to mention the requirement for root access on Solaris. I'm guessing they just assume that it's available, but that's not generally the case in our environment.
    All advice / info welcome!

    I would have thought that the only reason you would need root access once RAC and ASM had been set up would be to add more disks to the ASM configuration. This would be needed to change the ownership on the raw LUNs or to make additions to metasets (SVM/Oban) or diskgroups (VxVM/CVM). Beyond that, I can't imagine needing root access.
    I'm sure others will chime in if they can think of other reasons!
    Regards,
    Tim
