An interesting situation

This is interesting. I'm attempting to download the
orafw firewire drivers for RedHat Linux. After going
through the download page and clicking on 'I Accept',
the next page that comes up basically says - Sorry, but
you may have received this in error if using a browser
other than Internet Explorer or Netscape. Neither of
these browsers currently ship with RedHat Linux. Well,
you get the picture - I really would like the download, but
I cannot download it with the OS that it is intended for.
Is there another location from which to download?
Thanks for your time.
Greg Mekkes

Update - found a machine with Netscape and tried again,
but the result is the same. Is there a direct ftp site?

Quite interesting situation....

Hey guys, so I have an older LGA 775 Intel processor for my desktop and I am having a little situation: Modern computer monitors do not work. I have tried using a workstation graphics card (Quadro 600) and I have tried using a consumer graphics card (NVidia
8400) along with DVI cables, VGA cables, mini display port, display port, cable adapters, and I have had no luck on my Dell 4k monitor I just purchased for Christmas nor my Plasma television. I have had some luck on my plasma but the only way I can see my
computer screen on my plasma is if I have my old monitor connected to the same video card. While my old monitor and my plasma are connected to the same video card, the plasma works, but as soon as I disconnect my older monitor, the plasma video output shuts
down.
I want to be able to just use my plasma as my display or my 4k monitor as my main display, but I am not having any luck. Yes, I have made sure all drivers and firmware's are up to date as well.
please provide me some feedback, I want to get this resolved!

Hi Andy,
Please refer to your graphics card manufacturers and make sure that Max resolution and GPU specification are supporting for 4K Resolutions.
4096x2160 (4K), 3840x2160 (4K UHD)
Meanwhile, since there are a few compatibility issues about NVIDIA software and DELL 4k monitors , please check the issues with manufacturers too.
About your plasma TV, I suppose you were using digital import such as HDMI port of your TV, when you use your TV as a monitor, the Plug and Play of your graphic card might be a problem. When your TV plug in, graphic card will read the best setting for that
device, but when the setting suddenly changed, the TV connection might be Interrupted.
Please try to set your TV to primary monitor in Windows screen resolution setting by right clicking desktop.
Boot your computer in this order:
Turn your TV on
Set your TV import channel to HDMI or any channel you want
Boot your computer
You might not change your screen settings when you are using your TV as primary monitor

Interesting Situation Between LR and Bridge

I was finishing up a job which I had started in ACR, and needed to create two sub-folders, so I did it in Bridge. When finished, I wanted to see how LR Slide Show looked, but when I opened that same folder of originals in LR, there was no sub-folders! I opened and closed LR, rechecked in Bridge and Explorere, there were indeed the sub-folders, but not in LR. To complicate matters, I opened a folder of images created long before I started the free trial, which included subfolders, and they were all present in LR.
The solution was to re-import the folder for which I created the subs. Seems rather silly, imo.If you have a folder that both LR and Bridge see, and create sub-folders in Bridge, LR will not see them.
While I am at it, why do I need to double import a set of images before LR will acknowledge their presence? You can imagine my frustration at the first day when I dutifully imported the images, after finding out I had to use the Import command, but still no files showing in LR. Only after clicking Import again on the same images did they show up in LR.
Look, I have a fistfull of folders in my G drive. Bridge finds them, just by finding the drive. LR doesn't.
It's beginning to look like a deal breaker for me, except I can really use the database. I need total bi directionality. No favored path between them, no one-way streets!

I still would like to know what happened to the .xmp files along the way. It's also interesting that there are two processes out there that, along the way, drop the .xmp's and one of them is a photoediting program!
Go figure!
Ok, after writing the above, I thought: "No, that's not right. Go back and check".
So I did, and things got worse! I picked, in LR, an image that hadn't been tweaked. It came up saying "The file named xxxx_258 is off line or missing". All the menus in develop are greyed out. Yet in Explorer, there it is, big as life and clicking on it opened it in ACR. Now the tutorial Geoff linked to in the basic tutorial made the point that the files are not in LR (they aren't in Bridge either) but they are in the OS. Just open Windows Explorer and you will see them (paraphrasing here). Yep, they are, Bridge finds it, it opens in ACR right from Explorer, but LR says it is off line.
Instant insanity!
And yes, the .xmp files are all there, from LR and from ACR. In Explorer.
But wait! There's more!
I found out that LR will NOT necessarily open a file which was tweaked in ACR and read the sidecar and apply it. What I did was to open another folder with no adjustments to any file present. I tweaked the first image in LR, the second in ACR. Sure enough, ACR did not see the LR with it's tweaks. It ignored the side car. However, this time, LR did not see the ACR file either. LR ignored the side car, just as ACR did. Yet, go back to an ACR file before installing LR, and LR reads those images and includes the side car.
Now these images, like all of them so far, have been uploaded from a card reader, using Bridge as the path. Might that have something to do with it? I'll try an upload using Explorer and see.
Steps to reproduce the findings:
Find a folder of images which haven't been tweaked. Open A in LR, make a noticeable adjustment. Open B next in ACR do the same thing. Compare the set first in LR and in Bridge.
Expectations: In LR, both A and B are seen adjusted. In Bridge , only B will look adjusted. Result, neither sees the other's adjustments.

Interesting Situation Regarding OLE

Hi professional
I have two blocks on my form

One interesting situation when using hint

Hi All,
I have a SQL looks like
select
from
where column in (select /*+ unnest*/ column
from ....
where
I noticed that both unnest and no_unnest hint would lead to good execution plan. But if I removed the hint, the plan changed dramatically and this SQL would run much longer.
My question is unnest and no_unnest seem to be exculsive to each other. Why did both of them work here ?
Does anybody have some idea?
Best regards,
Leon

My question is unnest and no_unnest seem to be exculsive to each other. Why did both of them work here ?I would wonder the same thing.
I am thinking that the query transformations in each case - UNNEST, NO_UNNEST, and without both - are all different. One is probably more efficient than another but I can't tell from what you have posted so far.
What are the execution plans in each case?

An interesting situation with XML

Hi,
I have an XML from where my application receive data. Now, at
runtime using back end tachnology, i am updating the XML file. and
i want to see the changes will reflect in running application..?
I am not sure is it possible or not ?
But, still if any one can help !!

reload your xml using a changing query string so the xml file
is not retrieved from your browser's cache.

Interesting situation, iPhone 5 stolen.

Problem is I had just had this iPhone switched out with an old one because the screen on the old phone had shattered. This phone was on the restore screen, but I didnt have wifi. The phone was never restored. My questions are;
1.What could someone who came upon my phone do from this screen?
2.Could they wipe it and use it as their own?
3.Could they restore from their own apple ID with my sims card in there?
4.Would they have to restore my iCloud to move forward, meaning I could catch them on Find my iPhone?
Something I have conflicting opinions on, I called a couple of apple stores and spoke to geniuses, one said the serial number could only help if the theif tried to pawn it, one said I could call Verizon and give them the serial number, report it missing, and it would be rendered useless to the thief. Anyone know the truth?

1) Restore it
2) Yes
3) Yes. They would likely remove your SIM and replace with their own.
4) No. They can restore and use as their own.
You would have to Ask Verizon if they have ablacklist ofr stolen phones. They cannot render it useless, but they could put it on a list so that the thief could not sign up for Verizon wireless service using the stolen iphone.

Interesting PCD bug? Runaway process creating objects?

Currently, we are on EP 6 sp 16. We have had a very interesting situation occur with our development portal at random times. Not always, but every so often, the following happens. We will either copy an oobject (for instance an iView) to another folder or change the id on an object. As we step through the wizard on the final step where it should complete the action, it will sit at 50% complete and just flash over and over....50%....over and over....after several minutes, it will error out. You would think that nothing happened, but what actually happens is that it makes THOUSANDS of copies of the object...naming them like myiview_0, myiview_1, myiview_10, myiview_100, myiview_1000, myiview_2, myiview_20....and on and on. And yes, there will be thousands made. As you can guess, it is VERY annoying. Luckily our folder layout makes it easy to simply go delete the whole folder with all the multiple copies, but had we not done that.....geeez....lots of work. What is worse is that sometimes, you can't actually see all the duplicate objects until the portal is restarted (I found this out, because they showed when I tried to create a package but not in the PCD in content admin). They actually are invisible in the PCD!
Sooooo anyone else run across this? Any idea why this might be happening?

Well...no one seemed to be having the same problem. We have not found the root cause, but thankfully, using the PCD Inspector tool makes it MUCH easier to delete all the "corrupt" objects (though it is still time consuming as each "hiccup" creats about 30 pages of bad objects). I will just mark this one up to one of those portal "oddities". =)

Interesting test case

Hi,
I played a little on my test machine and get interesting results so if someone could explain me what happens here I would be grateful.
It is obvious that some data corruption happened but still interesting situation.
OS: Linux 32bit
Oracle: 10.2.0.2.0
TEST CASE:
1. Created tablespace and one table in that tablespace:
SQL> create tablespace test_tbs datafile '/oradata/tbs01.dbf' size 75M autoextend on next 10M maxsize 512M;
Tablespace created.
SQL> create table objtab tablespace test_tbs as select * from dba_objects where 1=2;
Table created.
2. Made two more copies of tbs01.dbf datafile:
SQL> !cp tbs01.dbf tbs02.dbf
SQL> !cp tbs01.dbf tbs03.dbf
3. Insert some rows into table objtab:
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> /
50417 rows created.
SQL> /
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select count(*) from objtab;
COUNT(*)
151251
4. Deleted tbs01.dbf:
SQL> !rm tbs01.dbf
5. Insert still works:
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
6. Renamed tbs02.dbf to tbs01.dbf:
SQL> !mv tbs02.dbf tbs01.dbf
7. Inserted new rows:
SQL> select count(*) from objtab;
COUNT(*)
302502
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
8. Check size of datafile:
SQL> !du -hs tbs01.dbf
*96M tbs01.dbf*
SQL> select count(*) from objtab;
COUNT(*)
756255
9. Deleted datafile tbs01.dbf and renamed tbs03.dbf to tbs01.dbf:
SQL> !rm tbs01.dbf
SQL> !mv tbs03.dbf tbs01.dbf
10. Insert more rows and executed "alter system checkpoint":
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> insert into objtab select * from dba_objects;
50417 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> alter system checkpoint;
System altered.
SQL> select count(*) from objtab;
COUNT(*)
907506
11. When I check the size of tbs01.dbf it is smaller then before despite of more rows I inserted. How come? Where are all this rows stored?
SQL> !du -hs tbs01.dbf
*86M tbs01.dbf*
12. Now try to offline tablespace and then I get errors in alertlog:
SQL> alter tablespace test_tbs offline normal;
alter tablespace test_tbs offline normal

Hi Uwe,
as I said before my intention was to understand behavior of Oracle and Linux in scenario like this.
I thought about what will happen if some Linux admin by mistake moves live datafile to another location and after 5-10 mins, when he realizes his mistake, he moves the datafile to old (original) location.
Will Oracle notice some errors in alert log? (In my test case I didn't receive any message in alert log)
How will I know (as a DBA) what was done with this datafile if Linux admin does not say anything to me?
Is any damage made to datbase ? (Probably)
etc...
When I am on my test machine I like to do all kind of stuff and try anything that comes on my mind. It isn't important to me if this scenario has any connection to real world problems. I enjoy doing this so I like to spend some of my time on this test cases.
Anyway thanks for your comment.
Regards,
Marko

Interesting ACE URL Header & Load-balance & SSL on 2 VIPs

Hi There
I have an interesting situation that I am trying to solve. I have 4 websites, each one with SSL Off-Loading on the ACE on the outside. All FOUR websites run on a single server on the inside, but each website is using a different port number for differentiation. Also, they are currently only available on TWO IPs on the outside! I know.....it's a mare!
So, RSERVER = SERVER = 192.168.0.1
Each website has SSL Certs on the outside. https://website1.abc.com - https://website4.abc.com
But, DNS is only bound to 2 IPs on the outside, as that is all we have available currently, until we free up more IPs.
OUTSIDE:
website1.abc.com = 172.16.0.1:443
website2.abc.com = 172.16.0.1:443
website3.abc.com = 172.16.0.2:443
website4.abc.com = 172.16.0.2:443
On the server we have:
INSIDE: 192.168.0.1
SERVER:8001 = website1.abc.com
SERVER:8002 = website2.abc.com
SERVER:8003 = website3.abc.com
SERVER:8004 = website4.abc.com
So, in a nutshell what I need to do is:
Terminate SSL for each website, then match the HTTP header, and pass it to the SERVER on the right port. Sounds easy enough.
But, I am struggling like hell. The VIPs (Wirtual IPs on the OUTSIDE are causing me grief) My steps seem to be breaking my ruleset. Individually they all work, but once I tie them to the VIPs on the outside, it seems to stop. The first site in each CM (class-map) match in the PM (Profile-Map) works but the subsequent site just breaks.
I would post my config, but right now I have sooooooooooooo many variations, it looks like a dog's breakfast.
Can anyone give advice on the process flow to follow to get this to work. My issue is arround the VIPs mainly. To be honest, I don't really care about Load-Balancing right now. That will come later when more servers are added to mix. And then we might have to do inbound NAT too to the Server Farm, but that can wait! :-o
I have created a HEADER map for the headers, individual SERVER FARMS for each port on the RSERVER, ACLs matching the VIPs inbound on 443, CLASS-MAPs matching the HEADER and applying to SFARM, POLICY MAPS matching the CMAPs and doing Load-Balancing with SSL-PROXYs for the SSL headers. SERVICE-POLICY tieing it all together on Interface.
But .... things are going hey-wire.
So, steps are:
RSERVER
SFARMs = RSERVER:PORTs
ACLs = VIPs
CMAP = HEADER = URL
LB PMAP = HEADER CMAP & SFARM
PMAP MULITM = ACL CMAP + LB PMAP & SSL-Proxy
SVC-POL = PMAP MULTIM

Hi Surya
Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say it ca only handle 2 certs. Can you elaborate please?
It would appear to me that you can actually only bind one cert to an IP, based on using a VIP address for the server farm as per the CM in the PM. I can hack out the irrelevant bits tomorrow and post what I have done thus far. I have played with multiple lines of code and various ways of trying to do this, but the end result is that it appears once I have the CM set per VIP I can only set one SSL-Proxy, and so only one cert. If I use multiple CMs, as per the MultiMatch policy, it matches the first CM against the VIP and doesn't appear to move on as per the HTTP Header. If any of that makes sense?

Application registered with shared services registry 11.1.2.1 - interesting

Here is an interesting situation.
Our HFM application has 4 to 5 AD groups in shared services. All groups are ok except one group which keeps dropping out of shared services. Hence the users loggin in from that domain couldnt connect and get the message in the subject.
Any clues guys?

I've come across a similar issue on 9.3.1
I dont know the exact techinal details but the hyperion system account that was used to log onto the domain we were having issues with kept getting locked out for some reason.
When the system account got locked out it couldn't access the AD and all users on that AD lost access.
When we got that account unlocked by the AD team all users got full access back

QT screen too large to resize! The impossible situation...

On the basic Quicktime 7 (not Pro), I have received a movie larger than my 17" widescreen mac. This leads to an interesting situation: I can't access the controls and I can't accress the resizing zone of the screen in the bottom right corner because both of them are off the visible screen... any idea on how to resize the window if one is not able to move the screen around to access the bottom?
Thanks

Found it... Vew => Half size did the trick!

Transfer Upgrade situation

I have an interesting situation for an upgrade transfer.
Phone A: Feature phone whose contract expired about a month ago. No data plan was req'd at time of contract.
Phone B (Me): Smartphone due for upgrade in Oct. 2012. $20 Unlimited data plan included at time of contract.
The owner of Phone A does not wish to upgrade her phone at this time, and wants to give me (Phone B) her upgrade. As a feature phone, if she got a new contract on the same phone it would require the current $15 data plan for feature phones.
So my question is: If I were to have her upgrade transferred to my phone, would I be able to keep my (Phone B) unlimited data plan until the end of my contract, and would she (Phone A) be able to extend her contract without incurring the current $15 Data charges?
I was talking to an employee at the verizon store to replace my broken phone with an older smartphone and it sounded to me like it could be the case that we could keep the same plans. (This was just what I gathered, I could be wrong,)
If anyone has any input it would be appreciated!
Thanks,

(I plan to upgrade to an iPhone 4S if that changes any part of this.)

You could use the upgrade eligibility of Phone A to get the iPhone4S - it MAY need to be temporarily activated on line A (but if doen in store, it may be able to be activated directly to your line). The contract on Line A would be extended, but since the phone would not change, the plan would remain the same.
And yes, you can activate the iPhone 4S on your line and keep your unlimited data plan.

Uncommon situation

Hello all. Hopefully someone can enlighten me on what to expect when i return this mobile phone as i imagine this may be an uncommon occurance. Heres my situation. I added a line to my ATT account. I am within ATT's buyer remorse no ETF cancellation period and am going to cancel the added line of service. I am outside of Best Buys return for a full refund timeframe which i am fine with. I understand that policy. I only have a couple of days to cancel the added line of service before i have to pay etf. Seeing as how i am outside of the refund period i am willing to forfeit any refund from best buy. My main concern is cancelling this added line. ATT customer support told me all I should have to do is bring the device into the store and tell them I would like to cancel service on that line and that Best Buy needs to call ATT since they may not be able see the account notes that state i am within the timeframe they require one to be to avoid ETF. Seeing as how essentially Best Buy will owe me nothing I dont see why this would be a problem. Can anyone confirm this?

Hello Tony_D-
I have to admit up front that I am not sure I understand exactly what you are asking, but I will attempt to answer this best that I can. You certainly bring up an interesting situation.
If you are outside 14 days from your date of purchase, we would be unable to return the phone based on our Return & Exchange Promise located here. I’m not really sure why AT&T would direct you to us simply to cancel service if you are still within their non-early termination fee period. It would seem to me that it would be easier for them to do without a middle man.
Based on the information you are providing, AT&T should be able to help you with this more effectively, but please feel free to contact any of our Best Buy Mobile locations, either free-standing or within a greater Best Buy store for more assistance.
Thanks for connecting with us!

Battery situation

I have an interesting situation. I take my 3GS off the
charger. The battery shows 100% with the plug showing.
It then immediately goes down to 99%.
If I then reboot the phone it goes back up to
100% and seems to discharge normally.
This has happened multiple times.
Anyone else seeing this? Do I have a bad battery?

I used an original 2G for close to two years. It was always on charge when possible, and the lowest charge level was about 50%. The battery is still great (unit is still in use) after that time.
Doing the same with my 3GS: If I'm near AC and have a charger I charge it; ditto when driving.
Phil
