8i: delete db w/ dbassists leave files; should it?

Have Oracle 8.1.5.0.0 installed on RedHat 6.0.
Created database instance TEST (and tried to put the data files
in /db/oradata rather than ($ORACLE_BASE=/db/ora/)oradata [see
other post].
Tried using "dbassist" to delete the database. It proceeded
without complaint but left several files/directories for TEST.
I'm not sure if its a bug or a feature but here's what it left
behind:
all the files usally in "/db/ora/admin/test/" are still there.
just the directory "/db/oradata/test"; the data files are gone.
all the files/links usually in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs:
initTEST.ora link
lkTEST
orapwTEST
all the files usually in $ORACLE_HOME/install for "test".
I can see where the files in $ORACLE_HOME/install might be
retained (IF you can use them to recreate the database) but I
think the rest are all "missed" and need to be removed by hand
(to avoid confusion and problems if/when "test" recreated).
Comments appreciated.

  • Input file should be deleted only after the output file is successful.

    Hi Experts,
    Could you pleas solve the below issue.
                           In  a file to file scenario, the input file will be picked from a directory location and after processing output file will be placed in the output directory location specified in the receiver communication channel.
    In the sender communication channel for the scenario mentioned above, if the processing mode is given as delete, the input file will be delete as soon as the file was successfully read by the adapter, but this will not ensure that the file processing is complete and the output file is being created.
    If we have a scenario in such as way that the input file should be deleted from the input folder only if the complete process is successful and the output is generated. how can we achieve this functionality?.
    And one more thing if we got the successful output the output file should be placed in one folder. and the if the output file is having errors it should be placed in other folder.

    Hi,
    In Receiver communication channel I have used the below command in Run Operating System
    .And I have kept the processing mode of sender communication channel as test.
    cmd.exe: /C "del /Leela/test.xml"
    You are running the comman line program configured in the receiver File Adapter,but in command line you mentioned the Sender File Folder , So i guess it's not getting processed.
    Try this:
    Try to run the command line in the Sender File Adapter Side
    "Place this in " --> Run OS Command After Message Processing.
    Hope this would work and get in parrallel with u r requirement.
    regards

  • Duplicates in iTunes:  Should I delete the Purchased AAC Audio file?

    I show two different file types and sometimes 3.  Sometimes it will say MP3, which I assume is one that came from a CD or something.  If I need to delete duplicates, should I delete the "Purchased AAC Audio file"  or delete the "AAC Audio File".  What's the difference?

    "Purchased AAC Audio" refers to files that came from the iTunes Store.  "AAC Audio" refers to files in AAC format that came from some other source, such as ripping a CD, or doing a conversion with iTunes.
    If you only want to keep one file, it does not really matter which one you delete.

  • Files should be deleted after applying patches

    Hi,
    after applying support Packages  successfully, which files should be deleted from the OS level.
    i mean the files allocated on
    /usr/sap/trans/data
    /usr/sap/trans/cofiles
    /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in
    and so on
    Thanks

    Hi Sherrif,
    After you have done support package import in all systems of the landscape I guess you can delete these files. Before that it may not be such a good idea.The document here gives the recommendation for data files at least:

  • My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

    My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

    There are several nice programs that can help you figure out what's on your computer - OmniDiskSweep, WhatSize, and DaisyDisk are the three I like. If you've had your computer for a while - and especially if this isn't your first Mac and you've been migrating from one computer to another, one of these programs can help you find files you didn't know your computer still had. For example, when I was trying to shed files to fit int a 256GB SSD, I discovered I had nearly 1GB of files in my Application Support folder belonging to programs I no longer used.
    Other than that, your easy choice are music, video, and photos. They tend to be the big files. A movie will generally be at least 1.25GB, for example.

  • Can't delete, rename or unlock a file

    My wife (running 10.8.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro July 2012) changed the name of a downloading file seconds before the download completed.  She now has a 15.6 Mb .mp3 file on her desktop which can't be played (I have tried MPEG Streamclip as well as Quicktime), deleted ("The operation can't be completed because one or more required items can't be found. (Error code -43)"), renamed, unlocked or have its permissions changed.  The information window looks like this:
    Sometimes these "ghost files" can be cleared by relaunching Finder - didn't work, neither did a restart.  I used Disk Utility to check the Hard Drive - OK - and correct permissions - lots of changes but not to this file.  I tried changing permissions on her desktop folder using "apply to all" but that didn't work.  I tried using the command "chflags -R nouchg" in terminal but that didn't work either (found in another discussion) probably because dragging the file to terminal only inserted the name and not the full path to the file.  I then tried restoring my wife's desktop file from Time Machine. That removed all the files from her desktop except the errant file without replacing them because Time Machine skipped that step because the permission were incorrect.  I spent 3 hours copying the deleted files back manually from the Time Machine Back up.
    In the course of copying from Time Machine, I noticed that the back up copy of the errant file on Time Machine was behaving properly, so I copied it back to Desktop hoping that it would simply replace the errant file.  Instead, I got two copies of the errant file which now both behave normally:
    changed to but when I renamed one of the files, the other lost its properties and went back to being untouchable.
    One solution would be to start up from Time Machine (as a network disc - I believe this is possible but haven't done it), completely reformat the Hard Drive and then restore my wife's Hard Drive from the Time Machine back up.  This seems like a lengthy and risky procedure just to get rid of this annoying file.
    Any other ideas?

    The following will delete that file immediately, no questions asked:
    Pay attention to these directions very carefully, and use at your own risk. One typo (an extra space inserted) could destroy your entire installation. Be absolutely certain that when you enter this command it looks EXACTLY the same for spaces and case (excepting the Chinese characters) as it does here.
    Open Terminal.app in Applications>Utilities and enter
    sudo rm -rf
    Important, leave a space after the -rf and drag the problem file into the Terminal window, which should then appear as:
    sudo rm -rf /Users/el/Desktop/xxx.mp3 (with the three Chinese characters replacing the xxx)
    There are single spaces only between sudo and rm, between rm and -rf and between -rf and /Users....  (It is possible, but not likely, that the Chinese characters may appear with spaces, including a backslash \ after the file is dragged into Terminal).
    Hit enter/return, whereupon you will be asked for your admin password, which won't appear in any form as you type it in. (If you have never used the sudo prefix before in Terminal, you will get a warning. Ignore it and proceed anyway.) Then hit return again. The file should be gone from the Desktop.
    If you like, you can do everything here up until hitting enter/return, then post back with resulting command in Terminal copied and pasted before proceeding, so I can check that it's looking OK.

  • How to delete multiple old ITUNES LIBRARY files safely ?

    I'd like to clean up my Itunes LIBRARY files, but don't know what's safe to do and not to do. (I have Itunes 8.1 / OSX10.4.11)
    MY QUESTION IS TWOFOLD :
    (1) how do I create a new Itunes library file now with today's date; and
    (2) how do I delete multiple (old) Itunes library files, without risking the loss of what I've got ?
    This all stems from exploring Itunes as a result of a problem I had today... when trying to import mp3's from my terrabyte drive, after about 150 successful mp3 track imports, Itunes froze and everything else on my MAC froze as well (constant spinning colored wheel). After many failed attempts to force quit Itunes, I turned off my MBPro. On restarting, Itunes tooks ages to "import" files. Eventually Itunes opened but with only half of my original tunes (1500+ songs 8.11GB) and had nothing from today's import.
    I found a post suggesting to hold down OPTION while starting Itunes. Then I selected a file from my hard drive > me > music > Itunes > "Itune library" with the most recent date and shezam, Itunes once again has all my songs, as before. Nothing I imported from the terrabyte drive today appears however, but no matter.
    In my "Itunes" file there appear MULTIPLE Itunes libraries ! such as Itunes library, Itunes Library (damaged), and as well a folder called "Previous Itunes Libraries" which itself contains multiple Itunes Library files and multiple "previous Itunes Library files" with dates back to 2007. These I want to clean up and delete .... should I ? ... Can I ?
    I really could use some words of wisdom from the wise ! Thanks in advance

    Whenever you install a new version of iTunes and run it teh first time, iTunes will create a backup of the current iTunes library file and copy it into \Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes libraries, then update the iTunes library file in \Music\iTunes\ for the current version of iTunes.

  • What files should I transfer back to a clean install of mountain lion?

    Hi,
    I have a 2.4 GHz core 2 duo running snow leopard. I want to upgrade to mountain lion but want to start with a clean install. i have everything backed up on an external hard drive. My questions are this: what files should I transfer over from 10.6.8 while leaving the old junk behind. I will reinstall only the compatible apps later.
    My second question should I use migration assistant or set-up assistant? I can't seem to find the necessary tutorial that is straight forward for this.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you're doing a clean install, which usually isn't necessary, then you want to bring over as little as possible. You can use Migration Manager in Setup Assistant to bring over your Accounts if there are no problems there. (If there are it probably accounts for the issues you're having and you'll need to troubleshoot your Home folder.)
    You'll probably want to leave settings behind. Applications you already said you would install later.
    The reason to run Migration Manager on the Setup Assistant is becuase after that it tends to create a second Home folder, which is not helpful.
    Be sure you have a good backup before you begin.

  • I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back

    I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back pronto! I just updated my iPad without a computer and it had the file there. I need to know how to get back the file very quickly.
    thx in advance

    Thne unfortunately, your document is gone. You can restore lost or deleted documents from backups if you have backups - and as long as the backup contains the document - but if you did not copy the file to your computer - or backup the iPad, the document is gone.
    You really should start backup up your iPad. You can sign up for a free 5GB iCloud account right on the iPad and then you can use iCloud for backing up. You can do it right on the iPad.

  • Accidently deleted both my itunes library files

    I accidently deleted both my itunes library files and because I restored them back from my recycle bin I seem to have managed to overwrite them with empty files, I still have all my music files that i can import back in to my itunes but how do i get my playlists back? The only place they are stored is on my ipod. I have never been able to do a backup becuse you have to do one to disk and don't seem to have the option to back up to a hard drive and since havn't found any disks that store 160gb i haven't ever been able to backup itunes.  I have a portable hard drive and have all my music backed up to it but not a backup that contains the playlists, does anyone know how to get them back

    Each time you restart iTunes it assumes that all the tracks are where it thinks they are. The exclamation marks only show up if iTunes attempts to do something with the files and cannot find them.
    Possible causes are that you or some third party tool like WIndows Media Player have moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive they live on has changed drive letters. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you might be able to reconnect iTunes to them using my FindTracks script. To start with test it out on a handful of tracks that show up as missing in action. If it can find & repair the links to those throw larger selections at it until everything is connected.

  • Is it safe to leave file sharing enabled?

    I have a wireless network (Belkin Essentials wireless router, a Buffalo Tech PCMCIA card in my TiBook (which emulates an Airport Extreme card), and an Asus USB wireless adapter in both my G5 iMac and my old Blue&White G3), OS 10.4.10 with the firewall enabled in each computer and WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK) security enabled on the router. That being said, is it safe to leave file sharing enabled on each of the computers on my home network or should I disable file sharing when I'm not transfering files between my computers?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply. It is handy to have file sharing enabled all the time.

  • Re: camera connection kit- I uploaded pictures using the sandisk connection, clicked on 10 pics to delete and ALL of my files were deleted from the sandisk! Is there any way to recover these pics?

    Re: camera connection kit- I uploaded pictures using the sandisk connection, clicked on 10 pics to delete and ALL of my files were deleted from the sandisk! Is there any way to recover these pics?

    Kevin-
    You say you uploaded the pictures to the iPad?  Then they should still be there, and you can copy them to your computer through iTunes.
    There are utility programs for a computer that can recover deleted files from hard drives, and they may work for camera memory cards as well.  I've used DiskWarrior for Macintosh to recover pictures from an SD card before.

    Hi,
    If u want a frequent deletion this approach to delete a record from a file will havee unnecesary copy of records from one file to another and deletion of one file and renaming activities.
    Instead what u can do is Add and field del_flag to ur record structure.
    If u want to delete the record from a file just mark this del_flag as 'X'.
    While processing u can have a loop like
    loop at it_XXX where del_flag <> 'X'.
    endloop.
    This will logically delete the record.
    When u r to finish the application at that time only perform this copying / deleting / and renaing activity
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
