Adpatch default log file names-Raghuram Kotnana

Does using of adpatch default log file names during patching makes it difficult to keep an accurate record of your patch history ?

It does make it difficult when you apply many patches and all are logged in the same patch log file. If you encounter issues applying patches while using the default adpatch.log name, it would be also harder to find the proper entries to grep and share with Oracle support.
I would suggest you use the same patch driver name for the log file and replace .drv with .log (i.e. u<patch number>.log).
Details about applied patches from your instance can be found in the tables in (Important tables used by and updated by ADPATCH utility (Doc ID 1520703.1)).
You can also refer to eTRM website for details about each table -- http://etrm.oracle.com/

Joe,
I presume you are trying to build Oracle BDB and not bsd as you have mentioned.
Yes, the error message you are getting is for not having the CC compiler in your system or the path isn't set. Check in the /usr/vac/bin directory if you have one in your system. You might find both xlc and cc compiler there. Set this directory to your path so that 'configure' can see it.

Excel 2010 missing default suggested file name in Save As dialog box

I’m using Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 (32 bit). When I open a certain file which produces the following message: "A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates", and then go to “Save As” (or “Save”) the
file, the default suggested file name is missing (blank). This didn't occur in previous versions of Excel.
In previous versions, Excel would automatically populate the original file name in to the File Name field.
I have searched all over the net, looking for a way to change Excel so that it will once again populate the file name in this situation.
To reproduce:
Create a new blank workbook
save as type “Web Page”, (i.e. File name: “Blank Example.html”)
Close workbook
In windows, rename file from .html to .xls (i.e. rename “Blank Example.html” to “Blank Example.xls”)
In Excel open renamed file (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”) and click “Yes” when prompted with the “A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates” message.
Do a “Save As” and you will notice that the File Name is blank. In previous versions, this field would contain the current workbook file name
(i.e. “Blank Example.xls”)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jaynet,
In order to re-produce this, you need to answer "yes" to the rename file prompt and then continue with step 5 (above).
The reason for this is not an exercise in futility - I assure you. At my work and elsewhere, when web developers have created features to permit the end user to save web data in Excel format, often times the Excel files are saved locally in Excel's
html format (but with the .xls
extension).
(I actually prefer the .xls
extension, because it is easier to just double-click the file to open in Excel, rather than to select the open-with and then select Excel. a file with the .html extension will default open in your default browser. Now, I could change my default program
for the .html extension, but that would only solve a part of the problem and would not really address the bigger issue and that being that Microsoft changed a behavior in Excel and may not even be aware that it was a much used feature. )
To continue, when I go to open the resulting Excel file, I am prompted with the message that the file type does not match the extension (which is fine and not bothersome to me). It's at this point when I go to save the file that I get really annoyed.
In previous versions of Excel, the default file name would be pre-filled with the current name of the file and the default file type would state that it is a Web html file. I would just change the file type to Excel Workbook and hit enter to save.
I would be prompted with "Are you sure you want to overwrite your existing file?" message and I would click "yes" and that would be that.
However, in Excel 2010, because the default file name is blank, I then need to re-type the name into the field to save the file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How to using variable in log file name on ODI 10.1.3.5?

Hi,
how can i put a my variable into my log file name?
now I use this syntax --> ExRate_<%=odiRef.getSysDate("MMddyyHHmm")%>.log.
But I have a variable for example #server, the value = "oracleProd" and i want to put the variable value into my log file name.
so the result that i want to get is --> ExRate_oracleProd_<%=odiRef.getSysDate("MMddyyHHmm")%>.log
so how can I apply the variable value to my log file name? I try using odiRef.getSessionVarList(#Month) but it didn't work.
Thanks.
Regards,
chris
Edited by: 877142 on Aug 3, 2011 9:36 PM

hi,
You can by
ExRate-#server-<%=odiRef.getSysDate("MMddyyHHmm")%>.log
Note that I have changed the underscores to dashes. This is because ODI will assume that this is a wildcard/escape character.
Hope this helps!!

Export dump file and log file name as sysdate in script

Hi to All,
Can anybody help me to give logical backup export dump file namd log file name is as contain sysdate in its name so that we can Uniquelly identified it.
Regards
DXB_DBA

On windows it gets a bit hairy as there really is no clean and nice way of doing it.There are a couple of options.
1. If you can rely on dateformat not changing, you can use a static substring expression. For example, the following might work w/ finnish locale echo %date:~3,2%%date:~6,2%%date:~9,4%Similarly, when you know the dateformat you can tokenize the output of 'date /t' and discard the tokens you don't want.
2. You can set dateformat to your liking and then just use %date% in your script
3. You can run a "SELECT to_char(sysdate,..." into a file and then read that file in your script.
4. Simon Sheppard also has a solution you could use as a basis. I have a slight issue with the approach, but that could just be me.
5. Use gnuwin32 or similar ;)
Also note that %date% env var is set automatically from w2k onwards, so some of the solutions might not work w/ older versions.

Shell Script to grep Job File name and Log File name from crontab -l

Hello,
I am new to shell scripting. I need to write a shell script where i can grep the name of file ie. .sh file and log file from crontab -l.
#51 18 * * * /home/oracle/refresh/refresh_ug634.sh > /home/oracle/refresh/refresh_ug634.sh.log 2>&1
#40 17 * * * /home/oracle/refresh/refresh_ux634.sh > /home/oracle/refresh/refresh_ux634.sh.log 2>&1
In crontab -l, there are many jobs, i need to grep job name like 'refresh_ug634.sh' and corresponding log name like 'refresh_ug634.sh.log '.
I am thinking of making a universal script that can grep job name, log name and hostname for one server.
Then, suppose i modify the refresh_ug634.sh script and call that universal script and echo those values when the script gets executed.
Please can anyone help.
All i need to do is have footer in all the scripts running in crontab in one server.
job file name
log file name
hostname
Please suggest if any better solution. Thanks.

It's like you just walked into a hardware store and asked where they keep the fresh produce.
I will point out one thing about your question. You are assuming every entry in the crontab has exactly the same format. consider this crontab:

00 6 * * * /u01/scripts/myscript03 >/u01/logs/myscript3.lisThe variations are endless.
When you get to an appropriate forum (this on is not it) it will be helpful to explain your business requirement, not just your proposed technical solution.

Different log file name in the Control file of SQL Loader

Dear all,
I get every day 3 log files with ftp from a Solaris Server to a Windows 2000 Server machine. In this Windows machine, we have an Oracle Database 9.2. These log files are in the following format: in<date>.log i.e. in20070429.log.
I would like to load this log file's data to an Oracle table every day and I would like to use SQL Loader for this job.
The problem is that the log file name is different every day.
How can I give this variable log file name in the Control file, which is used for the SQL Loader?
file.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\gbal\in<date>.log'
APPEND INTO TABLE CHAT_SL
FIELDS TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(SL1 DATE "Mon DD, YYYY HH:MI:SS FF3AM",
SL2 char,
SL3 DATE "Mon DD, YYYY HH:MI:SS FF3AM",
SL4 char,
SL5 char,
SL6 char,
SL7 char,
SL8 char,
SL9 char,
SL10 char,
SL11 char,
SL12 char,
SL13 char,
SL14 char,
SL15 char)
Do you have any better idea about this issue?
I thought of renaming the log file to an instant name, such as in.log, but how can I distinguish the desired log file, from the other two?
Thank you very much in advance.

I don't have a direct solution for your problem.
However if you invoke the SQL loader from an Oracle stored procedure, it is possible to dynamically set control\log file.

Change default pdf file name

Hi,all
How can I change a default pdf file name from unknown.pdf to something else?
Regards,
Michael
Edited by: Michael Beilin on Feb 6, 2008 9:47 AM

HI Michael,
Yes you can do that,
Just do something like
     IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("PdfSource");
     ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
     IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;
     binaryType.setFileName("TravelRequest.pdf"); // Set file name
     binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF); // set the mime type
for example in the doInit() before providing the file for download

Apache2 log file names

I'm running Mac OS X Server 10.6.4, and have 3 web sites that all resolve to the same IP number. All is working just fine except for naming the log files. I'd like to have separate files for each virtual site; that is, traffic to example1.com should go to /var/log/apache2/example1_access)log, traffic to example2.com should go to /var/log/apache2/example2accesslog, etc. I set this up in server admin, but the names of the actual log files are something like example1accesslog.1287014400 and example2accesslog.1286409600.
This causes problems in having my web usage program finding the correct file. Can anyone point me to relevant documentation on how to solve this problem?

The timestamps on the files are related to the fact you have log file rotation turned on.
As for how to solve it that depends a lot on the analytics program you're using, which you omit to mention.
You could turn off the log file rotation, but then you'd have issues with ever-growing log files
You could rename the logs files yourself
You could teach the analytics program to understand your log file names (this is the approach I'd take - rotating logs is VERY common and I can't think there's an analytics that doesn't handle it)

Is it possible to change the default PDF file name from 'LabVIEW Document.pdf'?

My application uses the 'Automatically print front panel every time VI completes execution' functionality to print front panels. When I have my printer set to 'Adobe PDF', a dialog pops up and the default file name is 'LabVIEW Document.pdf'. Is there a way to programatically set the name to something other than 'LabVIEW Document.pdf'?
I've already found a solution that manipulates the Windows registry, and I'm looking for another option.
Brent

Do a search, as this question has come up before. The solution centered on not using the Adobe PDF printer driver but one that is intelligent.

Force InDesign to default .indd file name to match .indt name

Hi
I work for a photography company that uses dozens of InDesign .indt templates to create customised .indd documents and then PDFs for printing. Employees access the templates from a local server, and then save the .indd file with a specific name in another location. So far, so normal.
Now, it's critical that the .indd file be named correctly in order for our printing software to recognise it. At the moment the default file name for a given .indd in the 'save as' dialogue will be something like 'Untitled-36.indd', which we have to very carefully change to the appropriate name for the rip to read it.
The .indt files already have the appropriate name, so is there a way to force InDesign to save the .indd with the same name as its parent template by default, rather than 'Untitled-XX.indd' like it does now? It might seem trivial, but it would actually save us a lot of time, not to mention the print errors, if this were possible.
We're running CS6 on Windows 7 machines, and accessing the templates and saving documents to a Linux server.
Thanks!
Ryan.

You cannot change the behavior for naming when saving from templates.
There is no structural difference between a .indt file and a .indd. the different extension simply triggers a default opening method: .indd opens as original and for safety (so you don't accidentally overwrite them with content) .indt files open by default as untitled copies. IF and it's a big IF, your people can be counted on to never hit Save (only Save AS), and always to navigate to new folders to save the documents, then saving the templates as .indd (and you can just change the extension on existing ones) would preserve the names. Marking these "templates" as read-only should add a layer of safety.
