An old report gets reprinted every day
Hello all,
We have an application that based on Oracle Reports and Forms.
Now, one of the old reports, originally printed 6 months ago, gets reprinted every day.
We don't have any ideas why. No one on purpose does it
I was wondering if any of you have experienced the same issue.
Thank you, Sonya
By report you very likely mean report output, or report result?
If so, looks like the report has been scheduled to run every day, and the start date was set 6 month ahead. Someone's error, or something. See your application manual on how to schedule / unschedule / view scheduled reports.

Speed getting lower every day since adsl2+ upgrade
Background : My router has always from day 1 been switched off at 11pm at night and turned back on at 7am in the morning. With adsl max I consistently had a download speed of 850Kb/s
2 weeks ago my line was upgraded after a phone call to BT, initially everything was great, speeds were not much better for the first coupld of days (950Kb/s) but then shot up to 1250Kb/s for a few days. Since then however my line has been getting slower every day. Today is the worst and I am now getting 690Kb/s.
I know I'm going to get the usual "leave router connected for 3 day" answer of someone, but what does this achieve ? If my line says connected at 6.5Mbps and I leave it on for 3 days solid does that mean 3 days of being stuck at that speed or does the line recalculate connection speed at certain intervals ?

Thats my line stats as it stands , down from 11Mbps connection a week ago . Cannot connect to the main socket as where the line comes in the house is just a blank faceplate with a cable coming out the bottom into a smaller box then out and accross the room to the only phone socket in the property.
At this rate I would have been better staying on my old package instead of being made to take out a new contract at less favourable terms.Nothing but a phone connected to the line. The sky box has never been connected to the line as last year when we got a Sky HD box slowed the connection right down.
As for the router being on for the 10 days, no one ever said that to me. The only reason I know that turning it off daily could be a negative was through this forum.
As for my original question. If I now leave the router on permanately does it reconfigure the connection istelf or does it have to be reset every now and then. Very frustrating going from 850Kb/s on adslmax to 1200+ then down to sub 700.
I am unable to run a speed test at the moment , but with only the homehub connected to the master socket the results look like much the same , The hub seems to be connecting at bang on 6.5Mbs every time so I assume the line has been set to this by the DLM ? How long on ADSL 2 does it take to work its way back up ? I ran a speed test earlier today and I belive my IP profile was 5.85 or some such , why would it be set so low when the line was happy at 10+ last week ?

Since downloading firefox my computer has been getting infected every day
Have had this laptop since December 2010. Never had any problem with infiltrations. Everyone said Firefox was better than Internet Explorer. Don't know if it is a coincidence but since I started using Firefox, my computer has been getting infected every day. Have ESET Smart Security 4 and it will clean some of the files but shows error when cleaning others. Is there something I can do?

I'm not familiar with those. Can you try a supplemental scanner/cleaner for a second opinion and possible better luck with removal? These two tools are highly regarded:

Hi,
my Satellite A500 getting hot every day and shut down every second day.
Where is the vault and what can i do?
Greeting
SchaumiHi
Try to clean the cooling ventilators using a compressed air spray.
Dust and debris inside the fans might prevent the air from circulation which leads to higher temperature.
You should also use the Toshiba graphic card drivers instead of any other drivers from any 3rd party pages. The drivers from Toshiba page contains an GPU overheating protection which other drivers dont. -

Dynamic date parameters for a scheduled report that runs every day
I have a report that has input parameters for a start date and
end date. The report will be scheduled to run once a day at a
scheduled time. I need the report to automatically set the start
date and end dates when the report runs at the scheduled time.
When the report runs at the scheduled time, the end date needs
to be set to that time and the start date needs to be set to 24
hrs before the end date. I want the start and end dates to roll
forward automatically when the scheduled report runs each day. I
don't want any user intervention to change the start and end
dates every day. How can I do this in a report ?
Also, since the report is scheduled to run each day, I want the
output to be saved to a unique file name each time the report is
run as each day's report will report on the data only for that
day. How can I get the report to save to a unique file name
automatically each day ? Again, I don't want any user
intervention where they would set the output file name manually.Try adding the following in the beforereport or beforepform
trigger, before the RETURN clause (TRUNC gets rid of the time
component of the date):
:p_date_from := TRUNC(sysdate) - 1;
:p_date_to := TRUNC(sysdate);
:desname := 'REPORT'||TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY')||'.txt'

The solution is to have the logic board replaced, but that will be at your expense.
A temporary solution is to download this application which will allow you to disengage the discrete GPU and run only on the integrated one. Graphics performance will be degraded.

So here is what I found and what I did to try to alleviate the RAM eating upgrade named Yosemite. This guy has helped quite a few people, you can read all the comments and I gave it several tries this morning.
Oct 23, 2014 10:59 AM
I post this hoping to help those users who, like me, are experiencing high CPU usage and massive memory leaking with OS X core services and apps, leading to slow performance and battery drain.
I've tried everything mentioned, but found the right combination of steps to follow. I've tried this with seven different Apple computers, including mine, and has worked well so far. I applied this method yesterday to give these process a 24 hour window to fail again, so far everything good.
First step: disconnect any external or secondary monitors, if any is present. The video memory allocation leak can also happen if you have a system with an integrated card, like Intel, with no external monitors attached.
Second step: Shut down your machine and enter Safe Mode (press shift once you turn on your computer again, more info below). Once you're there, fix your disk permissions.
Guide of how to access Safe Mode: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Third step: From Safe Mode turn off your machine again and reset your System Management Controller (SMC). There are different methods, depending on machine, to do this. To know what method applies to yours read the following guide.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Fourth step: Once your machine completes a full boot after resetting the SMC turn it off again and reset your PRAM (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, BUT THE PREVIOUS ONES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THIS ONE TO WORK). The PRAM stores small bits of data that indicate our Apple computer how to interact with the devices connected to it, including monitors and video cards. It also affects software.
To reset it you should hold the OPTION, COMMAND, P and R keys in your keyboard immediately after turning on your machine again.You'll hear the start up chime, continue pressing the keys until the machine boots and the chime starts A SECOND TIME, then release. IF YOUR YOSEMITE INSTALLATION LOCKS UP AT A BLACK SCREEN AFTER THIS, DONT PANIC! It's normal, just turn off your computer and let it boot again.
More info about PRAM: OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Voila, reconnect your external displays and enjoy your system.

I hope to hear from anyone even to knock me in the head, lol. Thanks in advance and I'll be around trying to figure this out.1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

So, a while ago I decided to get a SSD and upgrade to 4GB of RAM when I was still using Snow Leopard. Great investment, totally worth it. Well, for a while. Boot times were good at first. But they got sluggish. So of course I decided to upgrade to Mountain Lion because that would speed up my mac, right? Wrong. It takes my computer ten seconds from the time I push the power button to respond and begin booting. It takes anywhere from one to two and a half minutes to get to the login screen. On the login screen it won't respond to any input from keyboard, trackpad, or mouse for ten seconds more. When I type in my password, it's another thirty seconds to a minute before the spinning beach ball of death disappears and what should be my desktop appears. Instead I'm greeted by my desktop picture and nothing else. One to one and a half minutes later, my desktop, dock, and menu bar are all there in front of me. But we're not out of the woods yet. It takes about two or three more minutes before my computer becomes even remotely usable- if I just start clicking I'll get the beach ball of death and have to wait longer, watching my once-swift Google Chrome browser bounce endlessly up and down, never opening.
TL;DR: It takes way too long for my computer to start up given its specifications.
You might be poised at your keyboard right now, telling me to repair disk permissions, clear caches, reset PRAM and SMC, etc... but I've already done that. I have about 75GB free space on my solid state drive, so that's not an issue. I've used Onyx and CleanMyMac2 to clean up anything that could be causing the problem, and it hasn't fixed slow boot times and general sluggishness.
I've scoured the forums far and wide to find the answer that will transform my computer into the speed-demon it once was. That is why I have turned to you, dear internet, to aid me in my quest.
I'm not a digital dummy- I can follow just about any advice you give me if you're clear enough in explaining steps required. The OP in almost every thread I've visited thus far was clueless and simply needed routine maintenace or a hardware upgrade to fix the problem, and I know that can't be the issue... so what can?
(PS I did select the SSD as my startup disk after installing it)

Why am I getting updates every day to the same three apps?
For the past week, each day I log in to the internet on my iMac (OS 10.8.5), my Creative Cloud app notifies me that updates are available to the same three apps: Photoshop CC, InDesign CS6, and InDesign CC. (Each day, I duly authorize the updates, and they are reported successfully installed.) Is this because there are actually new changes each day to these applications? Or is Creative Cloud app not recognizing that previous changes have already been made?
Thanks for your thoughts on this issue. I do NOT use any type of system
optimization utilities. Here are a few more details about my situation,
including the results of using an alternative admin user.
In looking at the "what's new" details provided for each application
"needing" an update in the CC app (on my iMac), I notice that the version
of the Photoshop CC update is 14.2, the same as the version of PS CC on my
computer. But for Illustrator CC, the update version is 17.1.0, the version
according to the Finder "Info" is 17.0.0, but when I actually open
Illustrator CC and check "About Illustrator", version 17.1.0 is indicated.
Now I'm really confused! It looks like the version information visible to
the Finder, at least, isn't being changed during the update process. Could
this indicate where the problem is?
Looking under "info" in the Finder for the Adobe applications, I notice
that the "Owner" of all the Adobe applicationsPS CC, ID CC, etc.is
"root (0)", the "Group" is "admin (80)". Many, but not all, of non-Adobe
applications on my iMac have the "Owner" as "harryhull (502)", "Group" as
"admin (80)". Could this have any bearing on the issue?
In the CC app, under Preferences>Apps, I have chosen "[Macintosh
HD]/Applications", which is where all these, and my non-Adobe, applications
reside.
OK, when I use an alternative admin user account and then I log in to CC,
ALL the Adobe applications are shown as up to date. Under the CC app's
Preferences for Apps, I left location as "default location". When I check
Finder "Info" for Illustrator CC, it still shows as v. 17.0.0. When I log
out of that user and back in to my normal user account, the CC app shows
the same apps as needing updates.
Any further thoughts? -
Are Apple stores really getting shipments every day?
I have tried for the last three days to reserve a device online. But I have waited till 12AM so that I can go online and reserve one. For the last three days I could not find a device to reserve. When I go to Apple store, they seem to have a recorded sentence in their heads, they all tell me to go online at 12AM and reserve your device. This is real crap...IMHO.
So what is your technical support issue for this forum? No offense, but you sound like a spoiled child who isn't getting his or her gratification instantly.
As we are USERS here, like you, we would have absolutely no way to know when the Apple stores are getting shipments.
Best,

Call logs getting erased every day
After a recent software update my call logs are remaining only for one and a half day.Earlier i used to have the call logs for more than a month.I went to a service center guy who told me there is a bug in the software update which is causing this and there is a team working on it.I dont know how true it is.I get a lot of calls and i cant store a lot of those numbers because they are not useful to me much later.Can someone please help
I'm in a huge problem... My E72 is set to log 30 days but it only logs 1000 entries which is not enough for me so my oldest entries get deleted after approximately 22-23 days...
Can anyone from Nokia confirm this? Is S60v3 log limited to 1000 entries? It happened before and it happens also with the newest 051.xxx firmware.
How to resolve this? Cut back on phone usage?! -
