12 month export options

Hello, I have customer that is still running Oracle 8, on HP B.11.11 on a U 9000/800 system... Yea, I know.
But I've been tasked with trying to build a disaster recovery option for them. They gave me a system that has less capacity than the production system..... Yea, I know.
The problem I'm running into, is tools like datapump and equivalent that would make this easy, weren't available back in this version apparently.
So I've been researching and the best I've found is to use standard export with two possible options.
A) flashback_time
B) query
My question is, flashback_time appears to be used to grab a specific timestamp. I didn't see any documentation that would allow a timestamp range. is it possible?
Otherwise, the query MIGHT work, but it doesn't make me feel confident that it would capture everything.
Which of those two would be the better solution, or is there something better I don't know about, or am not thinking about?
...besides the obvious of having the customer get with the times and update/upgrade. ;)
Thanks.

So here's the full deal.
The customer has a 90G database. They don't want to spend a penny on anything. Literally.
They won't buy any additional options for the database at this time....trust me, I'm fighting with them about it. There really isn't much of a time based response SLA to be honest. Again,it's best effort.
They have a DR system to fail over to. It used to send nightly full exports to the DR. But the primary DB has out grown it. The irony is that the retention plan is rediculous for what they are willing to pay for
...have to save EVERYTHING...forever.
As far as what I'm trying to accomplish, I'm trying to offer them a best effort DR solution with what I have to work with.
In the event that the primary server dies, I want to have at least one year worth of data stored on the DR box.

  • QT 7 Pro (Windows) missing WMV export option?  It's in QT/Mac...

    Bought QT Pro for my wife's XP computer, so she can convert small .mov files from textbook-bundled CDs to .avi/cinepak or wmv so that powerpoint can import them natively, and she can give them to teaching assistants to use in class sections. The exported file, when properties are viewed, has the exact same specs and codec as an avi file that plays fine within powerpoint. WMV plays them fine standalone.
    Except, using the Window QT 7 pro, the converted .avi files will play within powerpoint (2003). It thinks it can read the avi (powerpoint will import them) and the slide shows the preview, but things just goes blank when you attempt to play. No error messages, no sound, no disk activity.
    If I put the original .mov on my Mac, and export it with QT Pro, I have WMV 9 audio and video export formats available. QT Pro 7 Windows, has only mp4 (no formats of which are readable natively in powerpoint) and other non-useful formats, not including WMV9. It's just not there. avi w/cinepak/InterVideo etc. also fail to be properly formatted- they don't play in powerpoint.
    What gives? The Windows version of QT Pro can't export to WMV format, the only one that goes natively into powerpoint?
    The mp4 might be playable if I update to the latest directX, but you can't count on everyone having that, while WMV just works. And the Mac version actually works?
    Granted powerpoint isn't the best thing but it is clear to me that the QT-exported avi is not properly formatted. And wy is there no WMV option- it's not ghosted as if the file was wont bit depth or or something for the format, it's just not an option when exporting from the Windows version of QT Pro.
    If I wanted to et her up with ffmpegX and make this complicated, I could have. Buying the QT Pro was supposed to make it easy.
    Thoughts?

    sorry for typos, to make it clear, .avi files converted by QT 7 Pro Windows from .mov do NOT play in Powerpoint 2003, although they do import. The video codec and audio are same settings as .avi files that DO import (and were not converted by QT).
    Performing a conversion to WMV9 format on my Mac QT Pro 7 imports fine into Windows powerpoint. There is not a WMV export option on the Windows QT pro.
    I'd prefer to have WMV export but would settle for .avi it it would import and play as I need it to.
    The converted .avi file plays fine in Windows Media Player under XP. Just not in Powerpoint.
    Office and XP updates are very recent, within 2 months for sure.
    Thanks for help.

  • Problems in Limiting Export option in Web Analysis shortcut menu options

    Hi everyone,
    i'm trying to limit the shortcut menù option in Web Analysis studio following the instructions in the WA 9.3.1 user guide: "Limiting Web Analysis Studio Shortcut Menu Options" page 293. Exactly i would hyde the Export to some users (an user with Viewer and Expoler permissions).
    The problem is that the solution does not work.
    Resuming:
    First, I have created the WAMenu.xml file, with restrictions for the roles: Viewer and Explorer (using the same tags of the Sample XML File in the guide)
    Second, I have modified the WebAnalysis.properties file removing the # ahead this two lines:
    "WAStudioMenuControl= C:/Hyperion/Analyzer/conf/WAMenu.xml
    ModuleName=WebAnalysisStudio"
    and modified the path with the correct location of the XML file.
    At last, i have restart the services regarding Workspace and Web Analysis.
    But, it does not work. The user can still see the export options in the shortcut menu..I don't understand what is wrong..
    I really hope that someone can help me!!

    Hi Iain,
    thanks for answering.
    Unfortunately it doesn't restrict neither in the workspace nor in the WA studio.
    I made a lot of attempts, not only with export but also with other option, and there are no changes!!
    Do you remember if you made the same steps descripted above, or there is something that i did not make (or made wrong)??
    Cheers,
    Angelo

  • IR export options and embedded HTML

    Good day,
    Apex 3.2.1.00.12, 9.2.0.8 DB, on AIX 5.3.
    I have an IR where in I use html in the SQL that defines it to format certain columns such as the below
    "<div style=""overflow:auto;height:50px;"">column value here</div>"I then define the display type as ' Standard Report Column '.
    That obviously allows me to have some "formatting" power that the IR does not give by default.
    Problem is when I do the export to a CSV I get the html markup included as the value of the column.
    Is there a way I can keep my formatting desires and export without the html included in the value ?
    Also, can I export the whole result set to CSV, not just whatever I have pagination set to ?
    I do NOT have a print server.
    Thanks for your time,
    CLG

    What export option you used.
    I am using default export option and it exports all the records on report. Not current page.
    Furthermore for your requirment I ahve done lot of test regaring same thing. But I didnt find any solution. So what I did was create my own export function for those reports and then use that.
    Thanks

  • Export options in Voyager

    I created Voyager documents for my cubes. The tool is great in terms of its ability to report data from the multiple measures and dimensions. When it comes to Export options - The export to excel is pretty clean, but it doesn't carry the formatting to the exported file. This feature is something that our users really felt was missing. Can this feature be released as a patch or part of a service pack release? Also, the export doesn't carry the title of the report to excel or PDF (print to PDF - Data).
    Thanks in Advance!!
    Harish

    To confirm:  Column formatting like display -> Name:Caption ..  .. is not being exported to excel
    please refer to Note # 1345585
    this behaviour will be enhanced in XI3.0 Sp3 - due end 2009.

  • Convert pdf to word doc-but don't have the export option.

    I want to convert a pdf (that I got from an email) into a Word doc so I can edit it the way I want to. However, for some reason now I don't have the 'Export' option in my File drop down list.
    Funny thing is, I've converted the document once already and have entirely forgotten how I did it obviously!
    I've made so many changes in my first conversion I want to start over.
    why don't I have the 'Export' option? Or ... when I do a 'save as' and chose 'word doc' it only does a copy - paste type save - where I can't make any changes. It's like it puts it into a text box or something.
    I have MSWord 2010.

    This usually happens when you're dealing with a very poor quality scanned document that doesn't have enough data for the Acrobat OCR engine to actually process.
    As for Acrobat 6.0 Pro, I don't believe the Save as Word function was introduced until version 8.0, but it's been a few years and the memory of Acrobat 6 has faded a bit.

    Hi changilainen2,
    Yes, we are following Adobe Forum!!!
    Thanks for your inputs. Actually while implementing this feature we were bit confused if it is of more importance to have these options in the Object Styles. That's why you are finding it missing from there.
    But feedback from you and some other folks, made us realize that we should have it in object styles too.
    Thanks we'll try incorporating this in the feature.

  • Universal Highest Quality Export Option?

    I am looking for a universal export option on my iMovie HD movies and iPhoto slide shows. It needs to be the highest quality that Apple TV can take while also being compatible with my iPhone. I've tried the "To AppleTV" option but that one is not compatible with the iPhone. I only want to encode once and not keep two or three different formats of my projects. TV shows and movies I get from the iTunes store are great quality on my TV and also sync to my iPhone. Why can I not accomplish the same? What am I missing? Please help.

    Can't be done. You'll want to have two exports.
    The iPhone doesn't have any "HD" options and the Apple TV does (720).
    Some (most HD versions) you buy at the iTunes Store actually download two different files (one smaller version for the iPhone and iPod). The smaller version is the one that can sync to the iPhone.

  • Report Export option on the top

    Hi In Oracle Apex reports,
    Can we have Report Export option on top and bottom simultaneously?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can't do that using any report settings as such, but you could update a report template to do that. In a report template, you can use #CSV_LINK# wherever you want the export option to appear. By default, this is underneath the report (in the "After Rows" template setting), but you could also add this in above the report (in the "Before Rows" template setting).
    When working with templates, it is always a good idea to work on a copy of an existing template - especially if the change is only for one report. In Shared Components, Templates, create a new Report Template and base this on a copy of your existing template. Once created, make the change as above and Apply Changes. Then, on your report, switch its template to your new one.
