A question from a newbie:create user failed.

Hi,there.
I am a newbie on oracle database,and now I meet a question.It is said in the book that you can use:
create user username
identified by password;
to create a user.But when I test:
create user test1
identified by test1;
the system returns:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
How does this happen?

It looks just like it.Thank you very much.
And then I can't do any practices on this chapter.
Edited by: 944775 on 2012-7-5 下午11:42Why not? If you are doing "practices on this chapter", I would assume you have your own database to practice on. If that is the case, you - own - the database. You cana be sysdba and grant whatever privileges you want.
And if this isn't your own practice database, why not? See http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/category/opinion/

  • Question from a Newbie wireless user

    Please excuse the naivete of this question. I'm completely ignorant on everything pertaining to wireless internet. My old Powerbook 400mHz G4 Titanium has never had wireless of any kind until this week when I bought a PCMCIA wireless adapter. Never used wireless, don't know anything about it.
    I started following the instructions on the PCM adapter this morning to get it all set up. I plan to toggle back and forth between wired internet at home and the wireless adapter when I'm out on the road.
    I was surprised when I saw the window where I enter my settings that there were no less than ten different internet services flying around the room in my house! I guess I have a lot of wireless neighbors and I could easily access their bandwidth.
    I imagine the same would go when I'm in town sitting in the library. They welcome you to use their internet access, but it's in a busy end of town and I'm sure I'll see numerous services available there too.
    So I'm clueless on this topic. Again, I've never used wireless internet before - but I've read about these guys who've been arrested in front of coffee houses for stealing bandwidth at WiFi hotspots when they weren't paying customers.
    What's the deal with sitting in your living room and using your neighbor's internet access? I know it's not ethical and we should all get our own, but what are legalities? And say I hopped on to someone's internet access +quite accidentally+...how does one get caught if you do it quietly? And have people actually gotten into trouble beyond these two guys that made national news?
    I guess my main question is exactly how careful do I need to be to set the correct access service when there are ten immediately available in a public place? Can I just click on whatever signal is strongest and log on without fear of being caught?
    I hope somebody knowledgeable can set me straight on this.
    Thanks.
    -JOHN
    ps. Here's the news item on these guys stealing wireless internet access:

    You may find this technical article I've written helps you:
    http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/wireless.html
    It is fairly long, but it was originally written in response to some questions from a non-technical friend, and so I've tried to keep it as straightforward as possible.

  • May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

    May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

    Or you can actived the right button on your magic mouse and click on they icon in the dock. then you select "stop" and it's out of your dock.

  • OIM Create User fails from Console :

    Hi ,
    I have a fresh copy of OIM 11.1.1.5 which has LDAP sync enabled.
    I am creating a user from the console but it fails with the error message : Unable to get LDAP connection,and the root cause is - Failed to get connection due to initialization error with the pool : Failed to initialize and start UCP Pool.
    Anyknows whats causing this and how to get over this error.
    Any help or pointers will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    One thing I realize is that while connecting to OVD from ODSM and creating the necessary adapters for LDAP Sync, it refuses to connect on default non ssl port 6501. Keeps saying Not a Valid Connection. While it connects while I use the Admin SSL Port 8901 using which the adapters were created.
    Wondering if this has got to do with the errors...

  • Create user fails when used from SOAP UI

    Hello,
    I am using SOAP UI to create users using the Web services available in EBS.
    I am using the following URL: http://<server>:<port>/webservices/SOAProvider/plsql/fnd_user_pkg/
    I am able to create user when I use <load:X_UNENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD>pa55w0rd</load:X_UNENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD> in the SOAP Request.
    However, when I use <load:X_ENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD>pa55w0rd</load:X_ENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD>, the user creation fails with the following error:

  • Miscellaneous - Questions from a Newbie

    I just got my iPhone this week and some questions popped up. I know that some of them might fit better in other categories than "basics"...
    1. Sync with Outlook - I was under the impression that the iPhone syncs up with Outlook but:
    a) How can you mark an Outlook Appointment as "privat" so not everyone in your company who has access to you calender can read it?
    b) Why are no documents synced, which are in a Calender Appointment save in Notes? (The Text in Notes will sync, but no PDFs for example...)
    c) When I reply to an E-Mail, the info that an when I replyed is not saved in Outlook
    d) in Outlook I can mark e-mails with priorities... this is not shown on the iPhone
    e) can the Auto-reply or Out-of-the-Office message set or changed from the iPhone?
    2. Mail
    a) I have differnt E-Mail accounts and would like to use different signitures for each account... the is an App, but thats too complicated. Is there a way to have an automated signature for each acount (this should be a basic feature!!!)
    b) Can I save e-mail attachments in specific folders? (eg a word doc)
    3. Media
    a) How can i created different Folders in the photoalbum, so I can sort them and don't have to scroll for ages...
    b) Can I get access to the Folders on the iPhone, so I can copy (for example Music) for differnt sources to the iPhone?
    c) Is there another Sync programm than iTunes?
    d) Can I delete Apps which I don't use (eg. Weather, Stockmarket...), but which are allready installed when i bought it
    4. Sounds and Alerts
    a) Can i create my own ringtones (eg an mp3)?
    b) Can I add other alert sounds (for E-mails for example)
    c) How can I change sounds for different Events (New Mail, Alert...)?
    5. Connectivity
    a) Can I sync the iPhone over bluetooth?
    b) Can I use the iPhone as a modem for my laptop? how?
    c) If stolen, can I remotely delete it or search it via GPS?
    6. Battery
    a) is it normal that when you use push mail and make a couple of calls a day the battery only last for max. 20 hours?
    Thats the first lot of question from week one... Thanks in advance for replys and the awaiting answers
    Axl

    I can answer some of them:
    Is there a way to have an automated signature for each acount (this should be a basic feature!!!)
    No
    b) Can I save e-mail attachments in specific folders? (eg a word doc)
    No. You can't save attachments - just view them
    b) Can I get access to the Folders on the iPhone, so I can copy (for example Music) for differnt sources to the iPhone?
    No. The iPhone cannot be directly accessed like a hard disk. There are third-party apps that allow this to a certain degree, but you can't add Media to the iPhone via this method.
    c) Is there another Sync programm than iTunes?
    Not really. There's some that may do some features, but not a complete replacement for it. What's wrong with iTunes?
    d) Can I delete Apps which I don't use (eg. Weather, Stockmarket...),
    No. But you can move them to a different Home screen.
    a) How can i created different Folders in the photoalbum, so I can sort them and don't have to scroll for ages...
    http://www.question-defense.com/2009/08/15/how-to-create-photo-albums-on-your-ip hone-on-a-windows-xp-computer/
    a) Can i create my own ringtones (eg an mp3)?
    Yes. Google "create iPhone ringtone" for a variety of options
    a) Can I sync the iPhone over bluetooth?
    No.
    b) Can I use the iPhone as a modem for my laptop? how?
    Yes, although it depends where you are. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
    c) If stolen, can I remotely delete it or search it via GPS?
    Yes. See MobileMe's "Find My iPhone" feature:
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/iphone.html
    a) is it normal that when you use push mail and make a couple of calls a day the battery only last for max. 20 hours?
    Quite possibly. Battery life seems to be reduced in the latest firmware and lots of people are awaiting a fix from Apple.

  • NW2004s EP create user fails; error in persistence

    I am trying to create user and add roles, however whenever I attempt to save, I get an error message that states there is an error in persistence, please contact administrator.
    Has anyone seen this error before?
    Thanks,
    JR

    Hi All,
    I had the similar problem while creating users. I was able to create users in ABAP but not in JAVA.When I logged into UME using J2EE_ADMIN, and tried creating a user it gave an error.
    "Error occured in the Persistence, Contact your administrator"
    I found a solution for the error.
    Check the roles for SAPJSF user on the ABAP
    system
    If the role assigned is SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO change it to SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION.
    Restart your SAP Server and try whether u get the same error.
    If the situation persists,
    Check dataSourceConfiguration XML file in configtool.
    Refer SAP Note 718383 for the procedure.
    Read the following link for details before making any changes: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/81/0e0f61b566dc44bbb4055b3ccd25be/frameset.htm

  • Time Machine question from an ex Windows user

    Simple question that sounds stupid but I just wanted to be sure. I'm new to Mac OS so bear with me on this
    Let's say I install a program and I want to be rid of completely or it causes some issues, if I use Time Machine to go back to before I installed it will all of the folders/directories that the program created be gone or will it just pull the icon?

    There is another way of using Time Machine that I don't think Camelot has mentioned. He is talking about using the in-system interface to flip back and forth in time and restoring individual files, but what you, metalrocker, originally asked was if you could go back to before you installed your program, and you can.
    First, a warning. Doing what I describe below will put your entire computer back the way it was before you installed the program you are having issues with. All documents, files, e-mails (if stored locally) will go back to what they were before. You can still get newer ones from your time machine, though.
    Second, the concept: Go find the DVDs that came with your computer. The first one is all you need, also called Mac OS X Install DVD. Put that into your computer. Now shut the computer down. When it starts back up, hold the C key pressed. This will make the computer start from the DVD. Starting up will be noticably slower from the DVD. You will eventually get a few questions about language, and you have to agree to a user license. Stop after that. You do NOT want to reinstall the operating system. Instead, look at the menu on the top of the screen. There should be one item called Utilities. On that menu, there should be an item called "Restore from Time Machine" or something similar. THAT function WILL bring your entire system back the way it was at a selected date and time.
    Normally this is only used if you messed something up really bad, or if you had computer problems on one machine so serious that you decided to switch to a new computer, but wanted all the stuff from your old one... from before the troubles began.
    Of course, this alternative is serious overkill if all you wanted was to remove a program. Most of the time, I just chuck the App icon out, and possibly take a look into your user Library/Application Support folder, to see if the application put anything in there, and if so, throw that out too.
    There IS yet another method - there IS such a thing as uninstalling a program. It is usually not necessary, and rarely recommended, but if anyone wants to hear more about it, and is a little handy with the Terminal, give me a shout.

  • Pages DTP questions from a newbie

    Hello. I'm new to Pages 'page layout' but have used other low-end DTP products on Windows (Serif's PagePlus was pretty good). I'm under pressure to complete a document but can't seem to figure some things out. I hope someone can help with these questions.
    1. Is it possible to 'autofit' text into a text box. With a fixed document I find it difficult to fine tune the last page so that the text and images fit OK. In other applications I think the software was able to fine tune the font size so as to include all the text of to avoid clipping a word or two.
    2. Can I permanently 'lock' design and text elements together, so that they will always move, and maybe even change size together. At least I'm thinking of e.g. a photo with its caption. I know I can select both and for that time move them together, but I can't see a way to make that relationship permanent. Can I permanently lock them together? Can I 'lock' a complete page?
    3. Is it possible to use a 'reference' to an image held elsewhere on my hard disk? Ideally I'd like to be able to have my Pages document reflect changes (e.g. colour adjustments) to the master source image. For example in Serif PagePlus it would only 'embed' images below a certain size, and bigger images were just 'linked' to in the master DTP document.
    4. Is there any Apple or third-party application that can convert a Pages DTP document into a web page?
    Thanks.

    1 and 3 I fully understand, but I'm not clear about your explanation in 2. For example if I place a photo in a layout and then add a caption beneath it, are you saying that there is some way I can 'lock' them so that they behave as a unit?
    Probably a limitation on my side, but I don't seem to understand what you want to do :
    1) are you asking if a frame with a photograph and a frame with a caption for the photograph can be grouped, and that the grouped frames can be automatically moved if more material is added above the group in continuous single column mode (wordprocessing mode), or
    2) are you asking if the frame with a photograph and the frame with the caption for the photograph can be grouped and can be automatically moved if more material is added above the group in discontinuous multiple column mode (layout mode)?
    The problem lies in the way the problem is posed, so to speak. While you would want (1) because in continuous single column mode there is no concept of fixed co-ordinates for frames, you would not want (2) precisely because in discontinous multiple column mode there are fixed co-ordinates for frames.
    A story that starts in a frame on page 3 might skip page 4 and continue in a frame on page 5. If the positions of the frames you defined did not preserve their fixed positions, the concept of flowing copy from one frame/column to another frame/column would not work.
    There appear to be problems in Word for Macintosh 2008. If I understand the MacWorld review roughly right, and I may not have done so, then the behaviour is still that of wordprocessor when the application is used in layout mode, and that would have to be a bug (not that Pages does not have its fair share of those, of course).
    "The first time I ran into any limitations in Word was when I started to add floating objects—such as pictures and callout text around which text flows. For starters, its image-editing tools aren’t very good. More significantly, when I changed a column of text, the floating objects in it refused to stay in place. Instead they moved around as if tied to the text they were originally placed next to, destroying my layout. If I selected all the text in a document and deleted it or replaced it with text from the Clipboard, floating objects within the original text disappeared, too. In other words, if you make any major changes to a document after inserting floating objects, you’ll probably need to completely re-create your layout."

  • Simple question from jsp newbie

    Hi friends,
    I am learning jsp now. Reading documents and implementing simple applications. But i want to ask a question that is opposite to my logic.
    Now, i am a textfield control on jsp as textField1. I have created this control from Palette. in java code i am writing "textbox1." but there is no action, no intellisense while pressing ctrl + space.
    How the control is accessing from java code? Maybe my logic with visual studio .net. but i want to learn jsp logic.
    Thanks.

  • Organizational questions from a new iPhoto user

    Hello,
    I recently purchased iPhoto in hopes that it will help me view my photos easily. I have a large (about 3,000) existing photo collection. I keep this collection very organized, and all photos are in a folder hierarchy of the form 'Year->Month->Day'. The name of each photo begins with the date, such as '2007-01-17 Trees.jpg'. My questions about iPhoto in relation to my existing photos are as follows:
    1) If I allow iPhoto to copy my photos, how does iPhoto organize the photos? Do I have any control over this organization or the file naming convention used? Will iPhoto recreate an intelligible directory structure with useful file names, or will all my subsequently imported photos be labeled as "PIC2315..." in a random directory structure?
    2) Can I make it such that iPhoto imports my photos and takes the date from the first characters of the file name, and the picture title from the subsequent portion of the file name?
    3) Not all of the dates in the metadata accurately reflect the date the photo was taken (some are old photos that were scanned in, some taken before digital cameras had extensive metadata), but the dates used at the beginning of the file names are accurate. Can I use iPhoto to update the date stamp on the photos in my library? Otherwise, the 'organize by date' option is not very useful.
    4) Is there any way to move the iPhoto library folder? It looks like, as with iTunes, iPhoto locates its library folder in a conspicuous location, whereas I feel that these files should be relegated to a more discrete location, like the Library folder (in my opinion, the 'pictures' folder should be reserved for images; data files should be stored elsewhere). This is not a big issue, more of an annoyance that Apple imposes its organizational conventions on me without my consent.
    Advice on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
    Adrian
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    Hi Adrian
    1) If I allow iPhoto to copy my photos, how does iPhoto organize the photos
    Here's how the iPhoto Library Folder is organised:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    To your specific questions:
    Do I have any control over this organization
    No. The exception is if you take responsibility for the File Management (In the Preferences, Advanced Pane, Uncheck Copy Files to the iPhoto Library Folder...) That way you can leave your files untouched in your file structure. However, if you do this when you delete a file from iPhoto you will need to delete it from the Finder by hand. Not the case if you let iPhoto do the file management.
    Will iPhoto recreate an intelligible directory structure with useful file names, or will all my subsequently imported photos be labeled as "PIC2315..." in a random directory structure?
    Yes it will, the files will be in rolls that can be named via the iPhoto Window and which names will be reflected in the Finder. The Pictures will be named as per the file name.
    I'm guessing that all of this is so that you can easily and quickly find a file if you need it. However, you're missing the point of iPhoto. It's a Photo Organiser. The idea is you import your pics into it, they are stored (in full view) in the Finder and then everything you need to do can be done via the iPhoto Window. Organise them, arrange them into albums (infinitely more flexible than your current folders - a single pic can be in any number of albums or slideshows, can be in Smart Albums, can be easily edited in external editors and exported easily.) Want to find a file? There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    2) Can I make it such that iPhoto imports my photos and takes the date from the first characters of the file name, and the picture title from the subsequent portion of the file name?
    No, it will take the date from the EXIF data. However you can edit the date, title etc. from the Info window (the wee 'i' bottom left hand corner.) I think that answers your next question as well.
    4. You can put the iPhoto Library Folder anywhere you like, on an external disk, in another place on your HD, whatever. Apple aren't forcing you to do anything. (You can do the same with iTunes too). However, remember the iPhoto Library Folder contains Data and images.
    One thing to remember is the standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    iPhoto is a very good app, reliable and very flexible. But you do have to work with it. All the work you've done on your folders you can recreate in the iPhoto Window (just drag the folders to the Source Window where they will be imported into Albums). Think of it as a Front End to your photo collection. Up to now you've been using the Finder as a front end, iPhoto is a lot more flexible.
    Feel free to ask more if you want further clarification or info.

  • A developer question from a newbie

    hi there!
    i'm trying to improve my geek skills and could use some direction from smart people like yourselves.
    all i know is some very basic html and photoshop that i learned 10yrs ago.  think of me as a young grandma in terms of ability.
    my goal is to be able to create my own website from scratch, or heck, even jazz up my posterous/ tumblr blogs.  i know, how lame/ quaint.  but we all start somewhere. 
    so, question: where to start?
    i've been thrown all these acronyms, php, mysql, css, javascript -- and then html5 and css3!  me no understand! 
    my computer genius brother tells me that i should learn the basics before learning dreamweaver...but i haven't a clue what that means.  do i take a css class?  an html5 class? 
    i'm in nyc and would ideally not like to spend a fortune on a class.  i also do want an instructed class b/c i'm definitely one of those obnoxious kids that asks a bazillion questions to clarify.  and bonus points if it's an intensive class b/c i'm impatient.  wah wah.
    many thanks,
    steph

    You have plenty of resourced available to you on line, without paying a penny.  I guess though, it depends how quickly you want to get going and how best you learn.
    If you search this forum there will be heaps of suggested links to help you brush up on the grand themes, specific techniquies and of course, Dreamweaver.  In my mind the areas that you mention are all important, interelated but quite distinct.  HTML and CSS are the building blocks of any web page, PHP/MySql are about building dynamic sites and Javascript helps add functionality and whistles and bells to the design.  You can certainly get going with HTML and CSS and then add some of the other stuff without really knowing that much about them.
    A good place to start is http://www.w3schools.com/

  • Questions from a Newbie - Please Help by Responding

    Okay, I just received a new iPod (30GB, black) as a gift and have a few questions.
    I apologize in advance for any repeat in them (with respect to being answered in other posts), but I am confused and have a headache from trying to read all of the links provided in responses, etc. I just want to understand procedures is all. I know the questions may seem trivial, but I am a complete newbie at this iPod thing.
    (1.) Could someone please explain the entire authorization/deauthorization details to me with respect to iTunes and various computers.
    Specifically, if I download a song from the iTunes store on my desktop, how do I get that same file on my laptop and then authorize my laptop to play the song? From what I gathered in reading, I have to authorize my laptop to play the iTunes song downloaded on my desktop, but I do not understand how I transfer the song to the other computer's iTune software?
    Do I burn files to a CD, disk, etc. and then transfer via that method and then authorize the songs in iTunes, so that the songs are in both places (desktop and laptop)? Could someone give me step-by-step instructions on this, or link to somewhere that does?
    (2.) Could I have different songs on my desktop versus laptop, connect my iPod to one or the other, and send the songs to the iPod? From what I read, I believe the answer to this is yes (I believe I am permitted to connect my iPod to up to 5 different computers to load music from iTunes?).
    Should I do this, do I need to authorize anything or just connect my iPod to the computer?
    Thank you in advance for any response(s) offered.
    Again, I apologize for reposting these questions, but I am having a hard time pulling everything together into a succinct answer I can follow.
    Sincerely,

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    1) There are many options. Here are some of them...
    iTunes: How to copy music between authorized computers
    Once the file is on your laptop, just play it in iTunes. iTunes will ask you for your iTunes Music Store account information and then authorize your computer.
    2) This is what you have to do...
    Using iPod with multiple computers
    Authorizing is really only for the music store and purchased songs, not for iPods and which computers they connect to.

  • Keyword questions from the newbie

    Would anyone mind helping me figure out if there are conventions for entering Keywords into pdf Metadata? I have been having a conversation on another forum about Keywords for images and there is some question in my mind as to whether I should use quotes around a term such as "plate of shrimp" or if I should just use Plate Shrimp. One poster said they were avoiding using spaces for some reason and that they use PlateShrimp.
    Anyway, am I correct in assuming that all this goes back to how google searches Metadata in pdf's and/or images??
    Does anyone know where to find some of the conventions or standards associated with this? For instance, doesn't google search the /content/ of the pdf and if so wouldn't a keyword have to be /different/ from one in the METADATA? Or ostensibly google would rank a keyword /higher/ and the other Maetadata in a pdf would be associated with Contact and/or Copyright info?
    I am a total newbie with this so I am trying to winnow things down here with a little help if possible. I've been able to find info on IPTC Metadata but my assumption is that this only relates to images.
    Thanks.

    1. Is there a "recent documents" on a Mac?
    Only under the programs you use like Pages.
    2. When I have a disc in the notebook and I pick up the computer is it normal for the disc to grind inside the unit? It sounds like a garbage disposal.
    This happens because you move the macbook and the disk is spinning. If you don't tilt it this usually is OK but tilting causes the noises your hearing and it is damaging the disk.
    3. What is the American flag in the bar at the top right of the desktop? It wasn't there yesterday.
    It is the input menu for special characters and keyboard viewer if both are turned on under system preferences. Look under International Input Menu.
    4. Can I run Final Cut Express on the Macbook without problems, or should I have gotten a Pro?
    Yes I use it and it works fine. Max out your RAM for the best results.

  • More questions from super newbie

    I figured out how to get the connection between the form and a database  So, (I am a super newbie) I am not sure how to get it to insert into the database.please links on how to do this? The data is going to a sql 2005 express database.

    Hi Jay,
    For non logistics, you mean master data tables? e.g. 0MATERIAL, 0MAT_PLANT? these objects use different approach in DELTA extraction and they are much simplier.
    These objects get DELTA Updates from Change Pointer Objects, table <b>BDCPV, CDPOS, CDHDR</b>. If you activate them both in R/3 and BW, it creates a system generated <b>MESSAGE TYPE</b> in this table. Change Pointer in R/3 is not new. They have been there for quite some time. It is used for historical purposes to determine what was the previous value of certain R/3 fields and can be use for Audit, it can even be used to transfer IDOCS to other legacy systems dependent on R/3 for master data updates and it includes BW.
    The BW function modules installed by the BW Plugin in R/3 does the extraction process.
    Hope it helps; if it did, please grant points...
    Bye,
