Anyone use Oracle Privileged Account Manager with OEM

Our security folks are pushing us to lock the "oracle" account and use OPAM. Have others done this? Is it possible?
What they are hoping we do is create a named account, and only su into oracle if need be. I realise these doesnt audit much of anything .. but alas..
If we lock "oracle" - can OEM pull passwords from OPAM? I think thats what they are looking for us to do. OPAM would rotate passwords and such. We as dbas should never need to know the oracle password.
I could be totally off on this ..
Anyone gone down this road before?
Daryl

Hi,
I want to check did you start the any service before running the security store? Go with create option as you are created different domain for OPAM.
Let me know.
Regards,
Ari

MAke sure you have not set ANY environment variable related to Oracle / BEA / Java / LD_library path. Use the following script to unset / set the initial settings:
#!/bin/sh
unset ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64
unset CLASSPATH JAVA_HOME

Has anyone used "Final Cut Library Manager" with FCP X 10.1?

I've just noticed this inexpensive app which looks interesting.
http://www.arcticwhiteness.com/finalcutlibrarymanager/
Has anyone used it?
Comments?

I assume you are referring to Event Manager which I also found extremely good.
On the face of it, this looks rather like EM's successor plus a more "FCP X" looking interface.
At first sight it promises to be a "must have" app, but it's only by using it that its true worth and any potential flaws will be revealed.
What's good is that you can download the demo version (not quite fully functional) to try out before you buy.

Is anyone using JVC ProHD clip manager with premier pro?

i recently purchased a JVC GY-HM150U camcorder (my 1st experience with JVC) and am trying to figure out how to use their ProHd clip manager software to get recorded clips imported into premier. i can do it one clip at a time, but it is pretty darn cumbersome; there must be a better way?

I disagree. Any advantage AVCHD has in visual quality over bitrate quotient is not worth the computing overhead for RT editing. I've not used Panasonic AVCCAM cameras in particular, but general implementation of AVCHD is not very flexible with resolutions and framerates, like shooting 720p 60. And the cameras that do offer more settings options go outside of the AVCHD standard into propreitary implementations that have spotty support.
* edit - It looks like I was wrong about 720 60p being non-standard for AVCHD. I guess it is just non-standard on the several Cannon Vixia models I have used, including my own. One of the Vixias we have at work uses h.264 in an .mp4 wrapper for 720 at either 4 or 9 mbps.
My main gripe with AVCHD is its RT performance as a native source in Premiere. I edit multiple AVCHD and Cannon XF projects each week. Using Premiere CS5.03 on a six core i7 980 with a GTX 480, Projects using AVCHD take about 3x long to export than comparable projects that are using Cannon's XF codec (similar to XDcam 25-50mbps). Also, on several systems properly configured systems, ie. -core i5 2500k, i7 2600k, i7 980, CS5x & CS6x, 12gb to 32GB memory, GTX cards, CS5x & CS6x,.... on each system the XF codec projects invariable run smoother than AVCHD projects. The AVCHD project's timelines are more prone to random choppiness and bugginess. With AVCHD, even if the sequence matches the source footage properly, there is still a yellow line above footage on the timeline, meaning playback will play by rendering each frame for preview in mpeg I-frame just before the CTI reaches it. The HD mpeg2 employed with Sony XDcam, Cannon XF, and JVC's XDcam EX variant will not have a yellow line above the footage on the timeline and will not need to render preview frames for display.
The advantage of the simple HD codec becomes more apparent as the projects become more complex, like when adding video fx or multiple video streams. When editing in Premiere's multicam panel gui, the AVCHD footage looks awful compared to Cannon XF. Also, you need a much more power system to do multi-camera editing with AVCHD.
There is not a debate on whether AVCHD has better quality/bitrate. If one were using higher bitrate intermediate footage like a FCP or Avid workflow, then AVCHD would be a better aquisition choice. However when editing native footage in Premiere, while AVCHD works, HD mpeg footage offers a faster, smoother and more stable editing experience. This comes into play even more when your computer hasn't really enough muscle for AVCHD.

When to consider Using Oracle Grants Accounting Over Oracle Projects Acct?

Hello Experts / Dina,
Could you please help me in understanding the situation where I must use Oracle grants Accounting rather than Oracle Project Accounting?
I mean what is the driving feature of Oracle Grants Accounting which is missing in Oracle Project Accounting.
Also if I implement Oracle Grants Accounting then is it possible for me to setup oracle project accounting ( costing / billing ) under same environment ? If Yes it is possible to implement under same Environment then is it possible to setup BOTH under same operating Unit?
Please help.....
Thanks
:-)

Hi Samba,
I believe that the document Dean refers to is found in this MOS note:-
Project Managment & Grants Accounting Are Certified To Work In Same Operating Unit [ID 878214.1]
To address some other points:-
1) Grants Accounting (GMS) uses many of the same database objects as Project Accounting (PA). The best way to think of it is as a "customisation" of Project Accounting; albeit one that has been created by Oracle. For example, when a new grant is created (called an Award, stored in GMS_AWARDS_ALL) a supporting record is also automatically created in PA_PROJECTS_ALL
2) Because of 1), Grants Accounting and Project Accounting cannot be implemented and used independently within the same Operating Unit; Grants is built on Projects. However, some Projects features can still be used directly, such as elements of Project Management as described by the above document
3) Grants tends to only be used within the higher education, research and public sectors. Organisations within these industries typically have complex project funding structures, and have a requirement for tight budgetary control enforced by the system. Grants provides functionality to cater for both of these requirements, better than Projects does on its own. This does of course come at a price; by implementing Grants there are some Projects features that are not available
Please mark if useful / answered. Project (EU) Ltd has a wealth of experience implementing Grants and Projects; we are the first partner globally to have been recognised by Oracle as specialist Oracle Projects implementation experts. Please see our blog for more information or get in touch if you need any further assistance.

Ask timesten 11.2 Using Oracle Clusterware to Manage Active Standby Pair

Using Oracle Clusterware to Manage Active Standby Pairs
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13085_01/doc/timesten.1121/e13072/cluster.htm#CCHCFAAD
What is that mean ?
I have to use Share Storage for... Oracle Clusterware?
I think right?... or wrong ?
Can I have VIP on Master node, and then master down... standby will active with VIP, right ?

A TimesTen A/S pair is a replicated configuation where a pair of TimesTen datastores, usually located on different machines, act in many ways as a single unit. The active master can process both queries and DML (insert/update/delete) while the standby master can only process queries (think of this as a little like Active Dataguard). Applications that run on the same machine as one of the TT datastores can connect to it via the very high performance 'direct mode' while applications running on other machines can access the datastores in client/server mode. There is a clearly defined procedure for failing over if the active master fails (which involves promoting the standby master to active) and for recovering a failed store back to the correct role. Direct mode applications must failover with the datastore whereas for client/server applications the connection(s) need to be failed over. The basic A/S pair replication mechanism has been available since TimesTen 6.0. The replication configuration is defined via special SQL syntax and monitoring and management (failover control etc.) is performed by way of built-in procedure calls. However, in TT 6.0 and 7.0 the actual monitoring and management of the A/S pair, including failover, is left for the user to implement themselvses or via some custom integration with an external cluster manager.
TimesTen 11g adds two major new capabilities:
1. Automatic client connection failover for client/server connections. Think of this as very similar to Oracle DB TAF and FAN. This does not require VIPs or Clusterware since it is implemented completely within TimesTen. However it works very well when used in onjunction with Clusterware.
2. A deep integration between TimesTen and Oracle Clusterware. All aspects of Timesten A/S pair definition, deployment, management and recovery are handled by Clusterware. There is just a single configuration file and a single TimesTen utility (ttCWAdmin) involved. Of course you need a properly configured Clusterware setup first which will require some form of shared storage (for OCR and voting disks) but TT storage (checkpoint and log files) does not need to be on shared storage. Setting up TT for use with Clusterware is very quick and easy (maybe 30 minutes the first time you do it and much quicker thereafter once you know what you are doing). From then on Clusterware will manage all aspects of failover and recovery completely automatically. VIPs are not required but can be used if desired e.g. for application failover purposes. Clusterware can also manage the failover of direct mode applications. Also, you can define automated backup cycles and spare nodes that can be used if a node suffers some permanent failure. The Clusterware integration offers very rich functionality but also very fast failover (typically just a few seconds in my testing).
Hope that helps clarify.
Chris

Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)) I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

And which device to buy for travel? As far as I know other smartphone platforms even don't have an update facility like AppStore. And by the way what are your criteria for the perfect travel phone? I would place being able to use it in other countries (world phone), having easy access to internet and email and ability to remotely sync Contacts and Calendar on top of my list. All of which iPhone is capable like few other phones.
I'm sorry, John, but your statement seems like utter nonsense and is misleading for others. First being able to update apps doesn't cross my mind as a main functionality for travel. Second I was just travelling to SC and easily installed a new app from iPhone and updated an existing one. In your case I believe there's a mishap with AppStore. Probably you have a false update notification. Just compare versions of the apps you have with the versions of the same apps AppStore shows. I bet version are same. That's why it doesn't let you install.
If you want to sync your iPhone Contacts and Calendar (which seems more like a genuine travel requirement) you can do it via MobileMe or Yahoo and few other similar web services.

Anyone using kmymoney personal finance management system?

anyone using kmymoney personal finance management system on a mini?

The ability to retrieve a set of distinct values (across all nodes) for a given Property Definition is not a built-in capability.
However, you can add this capability, like this:
- find an external storage location for storing this data (basically a 1:m relationship from String propDef to propDefValue) -- see below for some ideas.
First, process existing nodes:
- for each property definition on the specified type:
- retrieve all nodes of that type (by iterating, or by query)
- for each node of that type:
- retrieve the property value
- check if the property value is in the external storage location; if not, add it
- end for
- end for
Once this is complete, you only need to process new nodes:
- when node of the specified type is added, for each property definition:
- check if the property value is in the external storage location; if not, add it.
You can construct your drop-down list from the external storage data.
Several ideas for the external storage location:
- unrestricted property choices on the associated PropertyDefinition on the ObjectClass.
- database table
- content nodes of a new type.

I decompiled HttpClient and ConsoleClientImpl and this is what I found --- The following URL is what is constructed,
http://localhost:80/esb/j_security_check and these parameters are passed as POST - j_username=oc4jadmin&j_password=welcome1
I tried
http://localhost:80/esb/j_security_check?j_username=oc4jadmin&j_password=welcome1
and got 404 error.
However, this exercise confirmed that hostname=localhost and port=80 is just fine.. the problem seems to lie somewhere else
