11g client questions about Server Explorer lookup functionality

At my job we are looking to replace another sql developer tool with ODT but there appears to be some bugs in the system still. Maybe I could get some help with these issues. We are currently using VS2005.
First of re-opening a connection after it has timed out is painful. The only way I have found to reconnect (besides restarting VS) is to close the connection, open the connection and then go to modify connection and say OK, but that procedure is not 100%.
Second in package bodies when double clicking on a procedure in the body it may or may not take your cursor to that selected procedure. I have been trying to figure out what the conditions are that will allow this lookup to work correctly I have even re-created existing packages with the ODT package wizard and it will still not focus on the selected procedure.
Another thing I dont really like is that is the package body is broken you don't know it just by looking at the package tree, you have to explode the package spec to see the body with the red x. It would be nice if the body broke it would break the spec for easy scan for broken packages.
One more request for a feature and I'm done. I wish there was a Find that would work with the server Explorer where I could say I want all the EMP table references and it would give me all of the views, procedures, packages where that table is used. This is one of the popular functions with our current sql developer tool and would be nice to it in ODT.
I am really excited about this product and can't wait to see what features are added next.

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback! See below for my comments:

Glad you are looking into ODT. However, keep in mind that it is not a 100% replacement for Oracle SQL Developer which has more features. ODT is geared towards the Visual Studio developer. You should still have a look at Oracle SQL Developer as well, in case it suits you better.
First of re-opening a connection after it has timed out is painful. The only way I have found to reconnect (besides restarting VS) is to close the connection, open the connection and then go to modify connection and say OK, but that procedure is not 100%.
In general with any Oracle application, when a connection times out you generally have to close and then reopen the connection to get going again. So what you are seeing is expected. I guess we could try to automate this for you, set via an options page. But, a better question is - how come the connections are timing out so often? Maybe you should discuss with your DBA if the timeouts are set unreasonably. Or even better, if you manage the database, just turn off the connection time out.
Second in package bodies when double clicking on a procedure in the body it may or may not take your cursor to that selected procedure. I have been trying to figure out what the conditions are that will allow this lookup to work correctly I have even re-created existing packages with the ODT package wizard and it will still not focus on the selected procedure.I have heard this being reported but I haven't been able to reproduce it myself. It always works for me. Can you attach a create script to this thread that could let me reproduce it?

That's an interesting suggestion - a top level icon to indicate that something in the package is broken, the spec or the body. In Oracle a package is really two pieces, the spec and body and we are trying to portray it as one thing.
One more request for a feature and I'm done. I wish there was a Find that would work with the server Explorer where I could say I want all the EMP table references and it would give me all of the views, procedures, packages where that table is used.

I am really excited about this product and can't wait to see what features are added next.One of the biggest new features is Performance Analyzer. The tricky part of Perf Analyzer is to get enough database activity to generate helpful reccommendations. But once you do, I think it is a great feature.

Few questions about "city explorer"

- I noticed it can tell me where the metro is, but could nokia maps + city explorer tell me what line should i take in the metro and which station i should go out?
- Does it all require data transfering while i'm walking, or can i donwload it all before, where i have wifi? (like nokia map-loader)
- same question about the guides...
Thank's!

You can find most of the answers here - or to links to the answers -

I haven't used the Explorer accelerated for a long time, but as far as I remember in rsddstat i think you can identify the explorer usage from the user id, but not sure - try and see.
You can also run all your BIA indexes at the same time if you want to, the algorithm takes care of the table locks and switch to other index
Querysnap shot index is a SNAPSHOT of the data at the time of the index - it will never change unless you re-run the query and index it. Regular BWA indexes gets updated when you load data to underlying cubes and run BWA rollups/change runs. The querysnap shot data will not change. I like them if my query output miliions of lines - such as ZCUSTOMER. With query snapshot, you can put all of them to explorer for customer segmentation etc purposes

[Solved] A note and question about slow hostname lookups

I reinstalled Arch recently and the first thing I noticed was slow resolve times on hostname lookups. This didn't happen on all webpages but did on about 50% of them. This also happened on downloads from pacman %100 percent of the time. I have done a good bit of research and most of the points led to nssswich. One website said to try using this in nsswitch.conf:
hosts: files[NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue] dns [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return] nis
With this it appears (after about 20 minutes of testing) that firefox lookups are again behaving normal again. However, pacman is still having slow lookups (about 30 seconds for each package). Does anyone know what could be the problem here. I dont' know much about nsswitch or how it could be the problem. Is there a way to help return pacman to regular lookup times?

Oracle 11g Client for Windows Server 2008 Relase2 Operating Stystem

Hi,
I am having a server with Operating System as Windows Server 2008 R2 version 64 - bit.
I am using SSRS 2008 which is 64 bit, for retreiving the data from Oracle (which is 11g - 32 bit), I am unable to create data source for Oracle.
I had installed ODAC Components of Oracle 11.1.0.7.20 on the server, but still I am getting the following error:
"The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine."
Does any one know how to install Oracle Client 11g on Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating system?

Helios,
It is wonderful that you are polite and encouraging to new people.
While you are responding, could you explicitly direct people to use the correct forum. This has at least 2 benefits:
1) Ensures that the person gets the widest possible amount of assistance;
2) Ensures that the rest of us do not need to waste time on improperly placed questions.
I suggest 'explicitly' since some people do not get the hint, and keep returning to the original thread.
This thread belongs in 'Database - General' or 'Database - Install'.

Question about cursors in a function and how to return the results

Hi all,
Some tech info:
I'm using Oracle 11G database and APEX 4.0.2.00.06
I use three cursors in a function. My function is called in an APEX standard report, like this by example:
SELECT fnc_exp(tab.arg1, tab,arg2) FROM table_exp tab;
My question is: how can I return the values calculated from my function to a standard APEX report? Before, this function was used like this by Oracle Forms to fetch the cursors in the right table columns:
open c_a;
fetch c_a into :loc.arg1;
close c_a;
open c_b;
fetch c_b into :loc.arg2, :loc.arg3, :loc.arg4, :loc.arg5;
close c_b;
Thanks for your advices!
Maybe my solution is not right, if you have better ideas, please suggest :)
PS: If you need more details, please ask which you need.

Hi,
I don't think you can do exactly like that in APEX.
Go for a pipelined function if you want the value be returned from the function.

Few questions about Satellite A300D-14P functionality

I have model Satellite A300D-14P for one month. Warranty 2 yrs. I have few questions, and asking for help, and suggestions what I should do?
*My camera quality * is VERY poor, Only with very much light on, I can get generally ok picture quality. Indoor, beside turned on both options, night mode or backlight compensation I hardly can see my face, very dark and poor quality. Second problem is blue led light, it is annoying because half of picture is always blue, somehow that light taking half picture which is always blue:((( I used notebook model from L300 series ( cheaper than mine) with same camera and that blue light, it is working perfectly :(
*Battery life and start up Vista OS*? ??In power save mode hardly 1.5h ??? Just surfing and nothing else....I asked Toshiba support here in Serbia about that and they told me that it is normal, and measuring of battery life (2, ...h) by specifications, is when my display is off and computer don't do anything ??? They also told me that normal start up time for Vista OS is around 1.45min maybe more???
If I install win XP is it possible to get battery life longer?
Do I need to go in Toshiba service or what?
Thank you very much and sorry if I am boring :))))
Nikola

Hay Nikola
You are not boring at all and welcome on this forum.
I don't know where to start. ;).
I have Satellite A300-1LI in front of me and I use it about a month now. Start-up time is very interesting theme and with right configuration you can optimise it and make it much shorter as with factory setting. Please read one very interesting thread about it under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
Do the same with your Satellite and I hope you will be satisfied.
Battery running time? I must say that information about two hours is realistic and I can confirm it. The same on my Satellite. But to be honest for mobile computing it is OK. I have changed several notebooks and just business notebook Tecra has had linger battery running time. What you can do is to check Toshiba support site and pick up info about more powerful battery. I am not sure but you can use Battery Pack (Li-Ion, 9 Cell, 6000mAh).
About cam I cannot say much. On my Satellite it works OK and I am satisfied. OK the quality is not the same like on good external webcams but for integrated cam it is OK.
If you are not satisfied try to talk with nearest service or try to compare it with some other Satellite by your local dealer.
So Nikola, if you have more questions please post again.

SQL 2008 R2 standard reports - question about server dashboard and what it refers to as "adhoc" queries

So I have started looking at some of the standard reports available with SSMS and in particular, the "server dashboard". One thing that caught my attention were the charts that referred to "adhoc" queries. I wondered how
those were being defined, and as I expected, they are most likely those statements not in a stored procedure. This was answered in
this thread.
On a particular server Im interested in, this % value is well over 50% and the primary applications that interact with the databases on this system are Microsoft based products such as Dynamics and another commercial application which I know uses hundreds
of stored procedures. Now, Im sure there are some sql statements being used, possibly "dynamic" type sql, by these applications, but would the metrics really be skewed this far?
What these charts tell me, with the "adhoc" statement types pushing CPU and Disk I/O % this far, is that there is a BUNCH of these statements being run against the various databases. The disk I/O might be a bit off since I only recently
added dozens of missing indexes, but my question is this:
With the "adhoc" type statements taking up this much of the CPU and Disk resources, can we say that there are likely a lot of these going on ? I suppose one way to find out is to launch profiler and listen in while there is moderate
to heavy user activity.
Thoughts?

Hello,
Adhoc queries are DML statements with not parameterization. Sometimes users use this statements, and sometimes these statements come from applications.
Use Query #2 on the following link to identify those adhoc queries:
http://mssqlfun.com/2013/04/08/dmv-5-queries-runing-are-adhoc-or-proc-single-or-multi-use-sys-dm_exec_cached_plans/
Identify if those adhoc queries belong to specific users or applications.
One of the options you have to deal with is is the following configuration option:
sp_CONFIGURE 'show advanced options',1
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_CONFIGURE ‘optimize for ad hoc workloads’,1
RECONFIGURE
GO
Hope this helps.

Question about the Ni-DAQ function used in VB

thanks for the previous answer first!
I found that my computer has not installed the Measurement Stduio. When i wanna add module with file nidaq.bas, it shows nothing. Therefore, i download this file and nidaqcns.inc file from the web. Then i add them into VB project.
When i use the function, as i don't how to use them. I just simply copy the "AI_Change_Parameter (deviceNumber, channel, paramID, paramValue)" and see the effect. But it states that "invalid outside procedure". Thereafter, i try just input 1 instead. same statement arouse.
So, my question is how to use them, because i don't have the example.
Thank you very much

It's hard to say for sure without seeing some code, but it sounds like you might be calling the function outside of a subroutine or function. Please verify that the call to AI_Change_Parameter is in a subroutine or function and if you're still getting the error, please post the code that's causing the error. Thanks.

Question about "server"

I am looking to put all of my media on a "server". I currently have an iMac that I seem to never have on at the right time. I have the opportunity to get a "nettop" with an Intel Atom D410 with 1GB of RAM and XP. Is this powerful enough to a) run iTunes 10.1 and b) to stream HD video. Is the computer responsible for playing the HD video, or is it more about streaming the video and the aTV decoding it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

A quick question about the htmldb_item.checkbox function

I know many posts about checkbox have been posted, yet I couldn't find the answer after some searches.
I have something like:
select
htmldb_item.checkbox(1, col_name)
from...
What I need is to have is the the heading of the checkbox column same as what the wizard does. I mean you can 'check all' with that. If I put a string after the right parentheses, I got that string rendered as the name of the checkbox column, which was not I want.
I couldn't find the answer from the document, neither from the how-to.
Thanks in advance.

I couldn't find the answer from the document, neither

If this is not what you want I don't understand exactly what it is that you're attempting. Perhaps some elucidation would be in order?

Question about server (element) joining dispatcher

Hi Experts-
   I have two implementations of EP6 SP2 on two separate servers.
   For database server, one uses Oracle 9i and the other uses SQL Server 2000.
   Something different happens on these two server when I run the "go.bat" files from dispatcher and then the server.
   In the case of Oracle, when both the "go.bat" files have loaded sucessfully, the dispatcher windows shows the text ">Element 1234567890 joined". [1234567890 being an example]
   In the case of MS SQL2K, when both the "go.bat" files have loaded sucessfully, nothing happens. The dispatcher windows does not show the text ">Element 1234567890 joined". [1234567890 being an example]
   In both these cases, EP runs fine (and intriguingly) similar.
   What is the cause for this difference? Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks,
- Vik.

That is odd that you do not have joined under SQL 2000. I am running an EP6 portal under SQL 2000 and the Joined shows up for me. If you run the go.bat from the dispatcher directory you should definitely get this message although it may take several minutes

QUestion about the Explorer for Data Files on Zen X

I would like to put some of my school document files and architectural drawings onto the Zen Xtra as a Hard Dri've, but do I need to install the CD that came with it before I can actually put files onto it's

Hey,
Unfortunately, the Zen does not show up as a dri've when you plug it into the computer (it's not just the xtra, the touch doesn't either), I understand the plight that you're going through. You will need to use the intallation disk to install Nomad Explorer because you can do a transfer like that. I shows up as an item in my computer, Once it finds the player there will be a music folder and a data folder, just open the data folder and drag and drop. Hope this hel
ps.
I have a school laptop where all my files are but unfortunately I don't have admin rights so I can't intall the software/drivers so I use my home network and cds as well as my flash dri've to move any new files over to my home desktop to transfer to my zen. It works well for a weekly backup, that sort of thing...Sorry but you'll have to use the install disk. As long as your an admin, no prob.
Wilco
Note: if you don't have the install disk visit Nomadworld.com and you can download Nomad ExplorerMessage Edited by wilco99 on 0-9-2005 09:54 PM

Question about exporting FBL3N data in Pivot table format

Dear all
I have a question about the "exporting file" function of ECC 6.0.
We started to use ECC 6.0 system, and it appears that we are no longer able to export "FBL3N data" to a local PC in pivot table format.
Is there a way to do it?
We used to be able to do so when the system is 4.6.
I appreciate your support!
Kind regards

Dear:
You can do that. Execute report FBL3N with desired GL account in it. After when report has been executed right click on it. There will be an option Spread Sheet. Select all available format. In drill down select 08 (Excel in existing XXL format) and press OK. There you will get pivot table option for downloading., Hope this will help you resolve your query.
Regards
