APPL_TOP directory from SQL?

Hi all
Is there SQL that can be run that returns the APPL_TOP directory reliably acrross 11iR12?
I've tried using dbms_system.get_env('APPL_TOP',:APPL_TOP); but that doesn't work on my 11i instance.
Or if there's a way to get this from Java that would also be fine.
Thanks

but R12 returns multiple rows on my Vision instance.

as for me for r12
row - for instance
for example, i have 3 instances, say DEV1, TEST1, PROD1 then result have 3 rows
APPL_TOP     /r12/DEV1/apps/apps_st/appl
APPL_TOP     /r12/TEST1/apps/apps_st/appl
APPL_TOP     /r12/PROD1/apps/apps_st/appl

File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
Thanks

I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

Migrating from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

Hello,
I am a newbie to Oracle 10g and haven't really worked with Oracle since 8i. I have been tasked to migrate all of our databases and tables to Oracle 10g. I need a little help getting started or pointed in the right direction on how to copy all that data from SQL Server to Oracle 10g. I know that Oracle has an Import/Export Utility, but don't know if it can do what I need. Can some one help point me in the direction I need?
Thanks, Marion

You need to download both the Oracle Migration Workbench core tool and the SQL Server 2000 plugin (SQLserver2k.jar). You copy the plugin into the plugin directory, after you unzip the Oracle Migration workbench main.
The tool comes with release notes and a user guide, that explains the necessary setup and migration process.

Database restore from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 for SBO 2005B

Hi Everyone,
I am facing some problems in regards to the restore of SBO Database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
Let me explain you the problem.
See I am using SAP B1 2005B with patch level 38 in my laptop with SQL 2000. I have made an company in this and done work in it as a production company and now I want to restore this company in the server which has SQL 2005. How to do it.
I have taken a backup in my laptop from SAP B1 Server Suite Manager which has SQL 2000 and sucessfully backed up but when I am trying to restore in the server which has SQL 2005 I am getting the following error in SQL 2005 in server :-
Restore failed for Server 'DXBAP001'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\SBO_DCHAR.mdf" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please let me know the solution for it.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Kawish Junaid Mazhari

Hi,
In SQL 2005 create a database and name as the 200 one was (though any name would do). when you create the database note the location of the .mdb and .ldf file.
once this had created right click on your new database > tasks > restore database
in the new window select from device and point it to your .bak file created from your 2000 system, ensure you put a tick in the restore box on the new line.
in the options tab tick overwrite database, and, change the file locations in the restore as directory to the file locations of the new database. the file names must be the same too.
you can change the original file names after the restore.
that should do the trick.
thanks,
mike

Migration on active directory from 2003 to 2008 and SharePoint error Cannot connect to the configuration database.

Hi all,
In advance i`m thankful for your help,
I come across a problem while migrating the Active Directory from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2,
SharePoint 2010 is getting this error Cannot connect to the configuration database. The same goes for the Administrative page,
Nothing is change in the MySql database, same log in, same server name, i guess it have something to do with the SharePoint Farm,
My question is will reinstalling the SharePoint do the job? Or is there an easy way to get back on my old track?
I`ve try to sync users... no good

Verify that SharePoint is using the correct IP address for the SQL server. To do this, run the ping command on the Windows SharePoint Services server.
Verify that the SharePoint server is obtaining the correct IP address for the SQL server from DNS. To do this, run the
nslookup command from the SharePoint Server.
Make sure that there are no incorrect entries for the SQL server. To do this, examine the Hosts file on the SharePoint server. This file is in the following location:
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts
On the SharePoint server, look for SQL client aliases. To do this, follow these steps: Click
Start, click Run, and then type cliconfg in the
open box.
Click the Alias tab. By default, there are no SQL client aliases. If you have any aliases for the SQL server, verify that they are correct, or remove them.

Hiya,
I don't think it is necessary to reinstall.
You should just confirm that your basic infrastructure is working.
1: On the SharePoint server, open cmd and write ping <SQL server name>
2: On the SharePoint server, open cmd and write nslookup <SQL server name>
Basically the steps outlined here, is the best way to start:

How to open notepad from sql prompt?

Hi to all
can anyone please let me know how to open notepad from sql prompt.
I tried ed command but message appears " Cannot create save file "afiedt.buf"
thanks in advance

user13480742 wrote:

Create a SQL folder on your desktop (in your documents folder, or whatever desktop location you have read and write access to).
Change the +Working Directory+ of the SQL*Plus shortcut to this SQL folder you have created (via editing the properties of the shortcut).
Launch SQL*Plus via that shortcut.
It will now run from that SQL directory. This means that it will have read and write access to the current directory (allowing it to create the +afiedt.buf+ file for example). It also means that you can save your SQL scripts in this directory and execute these from the SQL*Plus command line, without having to specify a path.

There is a new feature in version 1.2.1 of the migration
workbench that will generate the BCP and SQL Loader scripts for
you.
Right mouse click on the 'Tables' component group in the Oracle
Model UI tree and click 'Generate Data Migrate Script...'.
This will place the scripts in the Log directory you have
specified in the Tools -> Options menu. Go to the Logging tab and
enter a valid value for 'Log file directory'.
The data move scripts will be located in the 'Log file
directory'\SQLServer6 directory.

Creating User Acct's in Open Directory from External Source

Hello,
I am trying to find a way to automate the creation of user accounts in OpenDirectory. I have a MS SQL database that has the usernames and passwords in it now, and I'm looking to export those out of there and have an automatic way to create matching accounts in the OpenDirectory service on OSX Server.
Gary

It's unfortunate that there's no better way to do this. We're using ssh with a pre-shared key to our Open Directory server to run a script which runs dsimport to create the accounts on the Open Directory.
This works fine for importing/creating accounts, but it doesn't help us change passwords that we are pushing down to Open Directory from our metadirectory solution.
Here's the python we use to generate the dsimport entries:
dsimport_base = '0x0A 0x5C 0x3A 0x2C dsRecTypeStandard:Users 11 dsAttrTypeStandard:RecordName dsAttrTypeStandard:GeneratedUID dsAttrTypeStandard:AuthMethod dsAttrTypeStandard:Password dsAttrTypeStandard:UniqueID dsAttrTypeStan\
dard:PrimaryGroupID dsAttrTypeStandard:RealName dsAttrTypeStandard:UserShell dsAttrTypeStandard:HomeDirectory dsAttrTypeStandard:EMailAddress dsAttrTypeNative:postOfficeBox'
dsimport_entry = '%s:%s:dsAuthMethodStandard\\:dsAuthClearText:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:Ganymede managed [%s]'
params = (obj.Username,
obj.Global_UID,
obj.Password.plaintext,
obj.UID,
self.getPrimaryGID(obj),
obj.Full_Name,
obj.Login_Shell,
'/Users/' + obj.Username,
obj.Username + '@arlut.utexas.edu',
obj._oid)
new_entry = dsimport_base + '\n' + dsimport_entry % tuple([str(value).replace(':', '\\:') for value in params]) + '\n' # not handling signature aliases yet
and here's the Perl that is run on the far end of the ssh pipeline which
reads the list of 'new_entry' lines generated by our Python:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# This script receives files on STDIN and runs dsimport on them.
# Jonathan Abbey
# 22 October 2009
use File::Temp qw/ tempfile tempdir /;
$adminuser = 'diradmin';
$adminpass = 'seekret';
($fh, $filename) = tempfile();
@users = ();
while () {
if (/^([^0][^:]+):/) {
push(@users, $1);
print $_;
print $fh $_;
close($fh);
system('/usr/bin/dsimport', '-g', $filename, '/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1', 'O', '-u', $adminuser, '-p', $adminpass, '-v');
unlink($filename);
foreach $user (@users) {
system('/usr/bin/pwpolicy', '-a', $adminuser, '-p', $adminpass, '-u', $user, '-setpolicy', 'canModifyPasswordforSelf=0');
We've been trying to use kadmin to change passwords, but it seems flaky, with occasional 'policy reject' complaints breaking the sync.

Please guide me how do i do this.Do not like the sound of the architecture you are using for this. Scripts? Scripts for Oracle should be limited to installing s/w.
Writing any kind of Oracle application using scripts, is questionable ito design, robustness, flexibility, security and so on.
Wanting to use console commands from a SQL cursor? That sounds even more broken and wrong. If you want to do o/s calls, it should be done carefully and securely from PL/SQL code.
And PL/SQL code should be inside the database - not outside in some script.
As for copying files. Realise that SQL and PL/SQL code executes on the server inside an Oracle server process. This does not have access to your client's file system and directories.

Hi All,

Blob includes Images, text and docs.

One thing you can do if its sql 2012 or later is to load the blob data to FileTable created in database. Then you would be able to physically browse to directory it points and see all files in its native format.

Query based Report (Reports From SQL Query)

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with a report. I need your help.
I am creating a Report From SQL Query (Portal) with some arguments passed at runtime. I am able to view the output, if the query returns few rows ( arount 1000 rows). But for some inputs it needs to generate >15000 records, at this point the page is getting time out (i think!) and showing error page. I am able to execute query from the SQL Plus console ot using TOAD editor. Here the query is not taking more that 2 mins time to show the result.
If i am executing from Portal i observed that, once i give the appropriate input and hit submit button a new oracle process is getting created for the query on UNIX (I am usign "TOP" command to check processes). The browser page will be shown error page after 5 minutes (i am assuming session time out!) , but on the backend the process will be executed for more than 30 mins.
Can i increase a timeout of portal page, how i can do this?
The data returned as a result of the query is sized more than 10 MB. Is caching this much data is possible by the browser page? is the returned data is creating any problem here.
Please help me to find appropriate reasone for the failure?

Can you post the URL that is giving you the page not found error ? I am not sure if I can be of much help though.
In order to increase your chances to get a reply you should also post your question in the Portal Forum - Oracle Application Server Portal
