32-bit shell emulation for ALL patching of middle tier?

In the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and Middle Tier April2009 Cirtical Update Patch 8298235, I found the following statement:
On Linux x86-64 computers, always use 32-bit shell emulation. Use the following command before running the installer and any other Oracle Application Server commands or scripts:
linux32 bash
I have seen the requirement for 32-bit emulation in individual steps in a patching or upgrade before, but this is the first time that I have found such an all-encompusing statement. I have never run into a problem that I know of running opatch in 64-bit mode.
What is the real meaning of the above statement and, if it really means ALWAYS, what possible problems might occur if 32-bit mode has not been used in all patching.

Hussein,
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm still a little confused. When installing r12 rup6 and upgrading to 11g there was lots of patching. Whenever the specific doumentation stated that linux32 was required, it was used. I only found this when actually running the Xwindows universal installer, and then even when installing 11g software. However, all other patching (lots) of the application tier using opatch was done without using linux32. We did download and install the latest 64-bit version of opatch. None of the patches produced any errors. Is this the correct thing to be doing? If not, what should be done to correct the problem? How might any problem manefest itself.
The statements in 564174.1 and in Patch 8298235 say "all commands and scripts". What does this really include? starting up services? autoconfig? etc. or is the only real worry when something is being compiled?
Also, your answer implies that if you have the 64-bit version of opatch you don't need to worry about linux32.

Requesting 64-bit Shell Extension DLL

Adobe support website states that Adobe Acrobat Pro is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and Acrobat X Pro, and I am missing the PDF tab from the file properties dialog box. This is because Explorer is a 64-bit program (since it is running on Windows Vista 64-bit). But if I do the same within the Open dialog box in Acrobat Pro I can see the PDF tab.
In Windows Explorer:
Open Windows Explorer (Win+E)
Navigate to Desktop.
Right click on a PDF file.
Click Properties.
See fi you can see the PDF tab in the dialog box that appears. If you are on 64-bit Windows Vista (maybe even Windows 7) you will not see this option.
However, in Adobe Acrobat X Pro:
Open Acrobat X Pro.
Click File, then Open (Ctrl+O).
Navigate to Desktop.
Right click on a PDF file.
Click Properties.
Now you should be able to see the PDF tab in the file properties dialog box. Why it appears in Acrobat Pro but not when viewing the same dialog box from Explorer is because Acrobat Pro is a 32-bit software.
The change I want to see is that the PDF tab will be visible, regardless of if you are viewing it from within the Open dialog box in Acrobat Pro or from Window Explorer. You need to either provide a fully functional and full featured 64-bit version of Acrobat Pro, or you need to provide a working 64-bit Shell Extension for compatibility with 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Explorer, and keep Acrobat Pro as 32-bit only.

JGreatness,
I could tell you, but I'd rather put the pressure on Oracle to deliver a 21st Century product. If you pay for maintenance, then you can log in and place an enhancement request.
Now, if you don't care about support, then you can run the 32-bit application on Windows 2008R2 with a little tweaking. The main issue is with the printing to PDF. You need a couple of 64-bit DLL files for the Amyuni PDF printer. The files and associated installation instructions used to be available in the knowledgebase, but were later pulled.
The best you can do for now and still receive support is stick with 32-bit and maximize your application and Java memory settings. I don't think the WebLogic option will gain you anything, as the 'tested configurations' document only lists 32-bit Windows as the host operating system, regardless if you use JBOSS or WebLogic. Speculating, I would say the main issue revolves around 64-bit Java, not the operating system or web application. If Oracle is going to continue to utilize the JDK and Java elements and deliver a 64-bit product, then they will have to convert all Java objects to 64-bit. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, the executable service file they provide is 32-bit and would need to be converted.
Sadly, they only provide support for what was, at one time, the most common platform among many CM shops. We need more options, but that increases Oracle's development and support costs. I would prefer to lose the Microsoft Office dependency for letter templates and log exports and run the whole thing on 64-bit Linux, but we can't have everything.
As noted in a previous post, I suppose you could go ahead and get the DLL's via a purchase from Amyuni.
I don't know if we could post the DLL's and instructions on the Yahoo message board.

How to install oracle workflow middle tier in 10.2.0.4 64 bits

Hi all !
i've installed oracle workflow middle tier several times using oracle 10g companion CD release 1, 32 bits.
Database has been upgraded to 10gR2 (10.2.0.4) and operating system upgraded to windows 2008 enterprise 64 bits.
I've downloaded oracle companion CD 10.2.0.4 64 bits but there is no option for installing Oracle Workflow Middle Tier :(
How should i proceed to install oracle workflow middle tier for 10.2.0.4 in an 64 bits operating system?

Any feedback, please?

Can Apple fix the 12 bit audio problem once and for all?

I have had persistent audio problems from I Life V3 all the way up to I Life 06. Sometimes it is synch issues. Sometimes it is audio dropping out. I have been through the various forums and applied the various remedies with some successs, some failure. The basic problem is that I have an extensive quantity of Mini DV tapes dating back to 1997, most recorded with 12 bit sound (prior to 2002). Apple's basic stance has been, you must use 16 bit sound or I Movie and/or I DVD won't work and . And proposes awkward workarounds. Basically placing the onus on it's own consumers. Why can't 12 bit sound support be included in I DVD 06 and these persistent audio issues put to rest once and for all? Is there some overwhelming technical reason why it cannot be done?

I don't know about overwhelming, but the DVD specification (which was not developed by Apple) calls for the audio to be sampled at 16-bit/48KHz (I think you might also be able to use 96KHz as well). This is what the software expects. If you choose to use another sample rate then the software may or may not be able to "fix" it in post. The real problem is that many camcorder manufactures set the audio to 12-bit by default.

Sound works for all programs in Windows 7 (64-bit) except iTunes (64-bit) which stopped working after months of working fine.

Sound works fine for all programs on Windows 7 (64-bit) except recently 64-bit iTunes just stopped working. I believe the sound stopped right after downloading the 10.5.1.42 version of iTunes.

Sir,
I had the same problem with itunes 10.5 with creative labs sound card. The only way I could solve it was to use the built in sound on my video card. But needless to say I have a very high end video card, I have the NVIDIA GTX 580. And after I used the sound on my video card everything worked great.

Windows 7 64-bit Webcam Drivers for dv5t-1000

I have to say, the dv5t has been rock solid and performs admirably for the 3+ years that I've had it. In terms of operation it is nearly perfect.
Here's my problem. I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Everything works except for the webcam. It is not detected as an unknown device. To the OS, it appears that it just doesn't exist.
Here's what I have tried:
Installing all the drivers for 32 bit and 64 bit Vista and Win 7 that could possibly related to the webcam to include various iterations of "HP MediaSmart Webcam Software" current, past and old versions for all the related dv5t models. The software will not install due to no detected webcam. I did get version 2.2 to install and it runs but you can't do anything due to no webcam being detected.
Then, I went to the Intel website to ensure I had the most current chipset offered. According to Intel, everything was valid or current except my wired NIC. I updated that. Still, to no avail.
I have done numerous hardware scans and still no detection of webcam. I have all the latest patches from Microsoft and HP where applicable.
I tried to look up the actual manufacturer to the webcam for a model number and work backwards from there, but I was unable to find any info on that.
Contacting customer support didn't yeild any results. (they have been great in the past, btw)
I tried seaching in the HP forums and across the internet. In the forums there are others that do and don't have the same problem but it wasn't clear which flavor of dv5t they had. I tried the solutions offered in the forum but still nothing. The internet didn't get results on this issue either.
The webcam did work with Vista Home 32, the OS that orginally shipped with the laptop and i have tried those drivers too.
If I had to guess the is just some disparity between the OS, webcam or motherboard.
Please, if you have a solution, post and share the wealth.
Really, I am satisfied with the dv5t as it's the only model of that type at the time to offer a 16 x 9 screen (all others were 13 x 8 and WOW what a difference).
Anything definitive to resolve this would be great.
Thank you in advance for your time on this.
This question was solved.

If DM cannot see it you cannot install a driver, not sure why that hardware will not get detected.

Exporting incoming email address by date range for all mailboxes

I run a Small Business 2011 Standard server using Exchange 2010 for a small municipality. A public records request was made for all email address that emailed any employee of that city between 1-1-2013 and 3-6-2014 . There are about 160,000 emails
for that date range but how can I just export a log of the senders email address with a time stamp? Thank you in advanced for any help you can give.
I should add that All logging is at defaults values
I found a "work around", I have a Barracuda Message Archiver, I did a search of the date range and exported it to CSV, then imported it in to Excel and just deleted the extra data.
Thanks for the fast replies

Good point, Belinda. If you have that time period within your log retention, then you should be able to do something with the Exchange Shell. This is a bit rough but could serve your purpose:
#--- This finds the email addresses of the users whose city is set to Sydney.
$Sydmbx = Get-ADUser -Filter {City -eq "Sydney"} -Properties homemdb, proxyaddresses | ?{$_.homemdb -ne $null}
$Sydmbx | %{$Sydaddresses += $_.Proxyaddresses}
$Sydaddresses = $Sydaddresses.TrimStart("SMTP:")
$Sydaddresses = $Sydaddresses.TrimStart("smtp:")
#--- Enter your HT servers here
$ExchServ = @("exch01", "exch02")
#--- This creates an object which lists senders who have sent to our recipient addresses, the timestamp and messageid.
$Report =@()
foreach ($server in $ExchServ){
foreach ($addy in $Sydaddresses){
$sentmail = Get-MessageTrackingLog -Server $server -Recipients $addy -Start "01/01/2013 12:00:00 AM" -End "06/03/2014 2:00:00 PM" -EventID Deliver -ResultSize Unlimited
$sentmail | foreach{
$Trackobj = New-Object PSObject
$Trackobj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Recipient" -Value $addy
$Trackobj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Timestamp" -Value $_.Timestamp
$Trackobj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Sender" -Value $_.Sender
$Trackobj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "MessageID" -Value $_.MessageID
$Report += $Trackobj
$Report
You can change the location to suit yourself as long as you populate "City" in AD and the server names with your own servers.

SCSI Emulation for IDE Tape Devices

Linux has a nifty driver called ide-scsi.o, an SCSI emulation for IDE devices, that allows SCSI commands to sent to IDE devices. These IDE devices (CDROM, tape drives, etc...) appear as SCSI devices.
Does Solaris have something similiar?
Thanks,
Quang

with kernel 2.6 you don't need anymore scsi emulation for cd burning, i do that, on the bootloader ( lilo is what i use) i add at the append line this --> hdc=ide-cd , and that's all, maybe even that is not needed, not sure. If you want to test if that works open a shell and type --> cdrecord --dev=ATAPI --scanbus
It should show your burner.
For k3b you maybe need to run the setup program first, and make sure your cdrdao is uptodate.

Wanted: shell command for disabling shutdowns

Hi @ all,
I'm administering a little workgroup. Unfortunately most of them shut down their machines before going home.
I found a way diabling the shutdown possibility (click on shutdown button doesnt invoke anything) by using Onyx.
But I would like to diable this functions for all users without the need of installing Onyx on each and every machine.
I'm certain that there must be a shell command, but I just wasnt able to google it up.
Thanks for any help in advance
joh

Consider this link: http://bit.ly/bPiNDF
Granted, it's for 10.5, but it should remain viable. I shouldn't need to remind you to test this on a non-production system first =)
Just remember that even if you DO manage to make it very difficult for users to shutdown the system, users are very persistent, and you may soon find machines that are shutdown via the cord being pulled from the wall.
It may be better to issue a policy that states that shutting down their machine is "wrong" or something to that effect.

For all those who waited for it..

As of today Dutch software developers Sloof Lirpa are releasing their Android emulator for Windows Phone. This great app will run any Android 4.x compatible app and give all you windows Phone users access to the vast number of games, tools and gizzmos from the Google Play store.
A spokes person from Google announced they were thrilled to see Windows Phone users come into the fold and als announced because of this they decided to no longer stall and block their services to Windows Phone. Full and unrestriced access to Mps, gmail and other services would be available immidiately.
So there it is, Sloof Lirpa to the rescue!

Yeah, I figured by slipping that in as a Dutch developer you'd probably not spot it that quick..
Now let's see how many will actually still bite by not bothering to read te comments..
Click on the blue Star Icon below if my advice has helped you or press the 'Accept As Solution' link if I solved your problem..

I will give $100 to the person who can solve this problem once and for all.

I'm not even kidding, dude. We can do PayPay, I'll mail you a check, whatever you want. That is how frustrating this is, that is how badly I want it fixed, and that is how much overtime I've worked lately thanks to being shorthanded at my place of biz-nass. I'm an hombre of my word, so if you actually come up with a solution that works, the cheddar will be yours. Okay let's hit it.
It's the skipping thing. First 10-12 seconds of a song - every song - will play fine, then iTunes skips, stutters, and basically does the god **** hokey pokey and shakes it all about. It happens most notably with songs that I double-click to play, but I'm pretty much noticing it on any song now after a transition is made. I've been using iTunes for ages and this didn't happen until the upgrade to 7.3. I have poured over these forums for nearly a week, tried every solution offered (even offered one of my own that actually worked for maybe four days before the whole thing started up again) and NOTHING. To save us all some time, here's what I've tried:
- Downgrading. I'll admit I didn't do this correctly at first. I didn't remove everything according to the support guidelines, but I went down to version 6.05 and that did nothing to quell the skipping. I upgraded back up to 7.3 because hey, why not, and attempted the remaining trial fixes. I have since removed both iTunes and Quicktime, step my step according the the guidelines, and not only have I downgraded to my current running version of 7.2, I put both of the programs on my F drive (as opposed to the default C drive), my gigantic bonus internal drive where I typically keep nothing but my giganto music library. I thought putting the app on the same drive as the music might fix things. I thought wrong. Dead wrong. Dead diddly dum iddly wrong.
- Quicktime settings. My settings for Quicktime have always been in safe mode with the output size at 16 bits. So when I saw this "fix" I just rolled my eyes. I used to have that dealio back in the dizzle when iTunes would just get all static-y and skip when I'd open other programs or even just minimize it, so that fix worked for that, but it's nothing compared to this. In simpler terms, that fix is like Superman, and this skipping? The kryptonite. Actually that's probably not a great metaphor, but we've got a ways to go and this is going to get mucho boring if I don't throw some chuckles out there. Ready for fix three? Giddy up!
- Turn off cross-fade? It's never been on. I never really got the appeal of that, and also I think it resulted in some minor skipping back in the d. I also attempted similar fixes like turning off the equalizer, messing with the volume, closing last.fm, REMOVING an old album art retrieval program from back before iTunes got its **** together with album art, ANYTHING that might interfere with playback was turned off, removed, b-slapped, and sent crying home to its moms. Nada.
- Recreating my library. This was the fix I offered someone else, because it actually did the trick for a few days. After an entire night spent reimporting 73 gigs worth of music, it played fine, but I did lose a ton of album art, playcounts, etc, so you can imagine how ****** I was when this wound up not being a permanent fix. I was beyond ******. I was livid. But I was taught in the dojos of my youth to channel my anger into productivity, and instead of sculpting a lovely bonsai tree, I set out to fix this pup once and for all.
- That darn anti-virus! This was the final fix I tried, even though I wasn't using any of the culprit programs listed in the forums as causes of the skipping, and even those offering this as a solution confessed it was pretty hit or miss. But having tried everything else, having resorted to playing my music on MediaMonkey of all things, I figured I'd give it a shot. I used (reason for the past-tense forthcoming) AVG Anti-Virus, Lavasoft AdAware and something called Spyware Doctor that I think just came bundled with XP. I removed all of them. I had just done a virus scan recently to see if that's what was causing this, so I figured I'd be okay until I could redownload them after this fix wound up not working. And it didn't work, so there's that.
There may be a couple of fixes I've tried that I'm forgetting now, since I'm delirious after spending practically every night for the past week trying to fix this problem, while my girlf, Heather, sits and laughs at me while watching Clark and Michael on her MacBook. In fact, she's laughing at the $100 offer as I type this, but I assure you, if you offer a solution that works, the money is as good as yours. If you come up with a workable solution, I'll have to test and make sure it isn't temporary like the recreating my library thing, but I won't leave you hanging once I'm satisfied that it's fixed for good. I know it's unorthodox, perhaps illegal in some states, but I'm desperate here, peeps. The ball is in your court, and I beg you not to give up the rock.
Gateway E-2000 Windows XP

I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

How to give Common Background color for all JPanels in My Swing application

Hi All,
I am developing a swing application using The Swing Application Framework(SAF)(JSR 296). I this application i have multiple JPanel's embedded in a JTabbedPane. In this way i have three JTabbedPane embedded in a JFrame.
Now is there any way to set a common background color for the all the JPanel's available in the application??
I have tried using UIManager.put("Panel.background",new Color.PINK);. But it did not work.
Also let me know if SAF has some inbuilt method or way to do this.
Your inputs are valuable.
Thanks in Advance,
Nishanth.C

It is not the fault of NetBeans' GUI builder, JPanels are opaque by default, I mean whether you use Netbeans or not.Thank you!
I stand corrected (which is short for +"I jumped red-eyed on my feet and rushed to create an SSCCE to demonstrate that JPanels are... mmm... oh well, they are opaque by default... ;-[]"+)
NetBeans's definitely innocent then, and indeed using it would be an advantage (ctrl-click all JPanels in a form and edit the common opaque property to false) over manually coding
To handle this it would be better idea to make a subclass of JPanel and override isOpaque() to return false. Then use this 'Trasparent Panel' for all the panels where ever transparency is required.I beg to differ. From a design standpoint, I'd find it terrible (in the pejorative sense of the word) to design a subclass to inconsistently override a getter whereas the standard API already exposes the property (both get and set) for what it's meant: specify whether the panel is opaque.
Leveraging this subclass would mean changing all lines where a would-be-transparent JPanel is currently instantiated, and instantiate the subclass instead.
If you're editing all such lines anyway, you might as well change the explicit new JPanel() for a call to a factory method createTransparentJPanel(); this latter could, at the programmer's discretion, implement transparency whichever way makes the programmer's life easier (subclass if he pleases, although that makes me shudder, or simply call thePanel.setOpaque(false) before returning the panel). That way the "transparency" code is centralized in a single easy to maintain location.
I had to read the code for that latter's UI classes to find out the keys to use (+Panel.background+, Label.foreground, etc.), as I happened to not find this info in an authoritative document - I see that you seem to know thoses keys, may I ask you where you got them from?
One of best utilities I got from this forum, written by camickr makes getting these keys and their values very easy. You can get it from his blog [(->link)|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/]
Definitely. I bit a pair of knucles off when discovered it monthes after cumbersomely traversing the BasicL&F code...
Still, it is a matter-of-fact approach (and this time I don't mean that to sound pejorative), that works if you can test the result for a given JDK version and L&F, but doesn't guarantee that these keys are there to stand - an observation, but not a specification.
Thanks TBM for highlighting this blog entry, that's the best keys list device I have found so far, but the questions still holds as to what specifies the keys.

Open ports for all in LAN

Hi, a few days ago I bought a wireless router WRT160n. I want to ask how to open some port for all in LAN(3 clients). For example all in LAN have PeerToPeer application for torrents. I want to open port for example 20202 for all. Now I open port from menu Applications & Gaming->Single Port Forwarding, but I must set port for each user IP address.
Can somebody tell me how to open port for all in LAN without to config for each computer?
Thanks in advance.

Hi gv. I read more about UPnP and the WRT160n User Guide. In section Administration>managment int wrote that UPnP is Enabled by default in my router it is corect. I Setup mu PeerToPeer(eMule) TCP/UDP ports to 20202 and check option "Use UPnP to setup ports". I test and close this port on my router configuration for my computer on "Single Port Forwarding", but in eMule the port is still block. Can you explain why it did not work. For UPnP it says that if Enable it allow users with Windows ME and XP automatically to gonfigure Router ports
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards.

Performance Problems with "For all Entries" and a big internal table

We have big Performance Problems with following Statement:
SELECT * FROM zeedmt_zmon INTO TABLE gt_zmon_help
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN gt_zmon_help
    WHERE
    status = 'IAI200' AND
    logdat IN gs_dat AND
    ztrack = gt_zmon_help-ztrack.
In the internal table gt_zmon_help are over 1000000 entries.
Anyone an Idea how to improve the Performance?
Thank you!

You can't expect miracles. With over a million entries in your itab any select is going to take a bit of time. Do you really need all these records in the itab? How many records is the select bringing back? I'm assuming that you have got and are using indexes on your ZEEDMT_ZMON table.
In this situation, I'd first of all try to think of another way of running the query and restricting the amount of data, but if this were not possible I'd just run it in the background and accept that it is going to take a long time.

I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:
