Automator and online database

I have access to an Oracle student information system database and I have to do repetitive tasks such as changing the # of seats available in a class for a particular semester. Under 10.5, I created several Automator workflows (combined with AppleScripts) to do this. They don't work under 10.6. Sample: activate TextWrangler, get the class record number from a list (text file), bring the Oracle window to the front, paste the number into a field, back to TextWrangler to get the # of seats, back to the Oracle DB, move to the attendance field, paste the number, save, and back to the beginning, repeat. This worked fine in Leopard, but not in Snow Leopard.
Sometimes the paste doesn't even work! What's up? Do I need to "downgrade " to 10.5?
Thanks.

according to your requirement, i think your best bet is SharePoint Online(Office 365). You can get the access services features over there...You don't need to setup the SharePoint farm & no need to extra OS DB Server and SharePoint licensing.
Good thing, free trial available for SharePoint Online, you can test it.
here is tech-net, which will give you details about SharePoint online and comparison between different subscription level.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sharepoint-online-service-description.aspx
here is good blog to configure the Access Services with SharePoint Online:http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-access/archive/2012/07/30/get-started-with-access-2013.aspx
Second Option is On premises SharePoint deployment. For this keep in mind you need Hardware and software licensing and full time SharePoint person to keep these system up. you need a public facing infrastructure because you have user outside your company.You
want to use Access Services, which required SharePoint Enterprise.
here is hardware & software requirement.

My preferences allow pop-ups and yet when I try to generate a letterfrom an online database I'm using for work, FifreFox "prevents po-ups from this site" Why?

I need to access an online database to generate letters for an assigned project. I click on the appropriate link to generate letters, the file is conveyed to my downloads, and I open it using Adobe to create a pdf. This worked fine for the first 5 letters. When I tried to generate the 6th, a yellow banner appeared informing me that "FireFox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window" which prevented me from getting the letter into downloads to open in Adobe. Even though I don't have the pop-up blocker on, I clicked on preferences and found the site in question already listed as allowed. Why is this happening? How can I continue my work?

* Go to your concerned website
* Right-click empty space within the page and click '''View Page Info'''
* In the '''Page Info''' window, select the '''Permissions''' panel
* Under '''Load Images''' , '''Open Pop-up windows''', '''Set Cookies''' -> place/Remove Checkmark from '''Use Default''' and change the setting to '''Allow'''
* Close the Page Info window
Check and tell if its working.

Crystal Reports 2008 - automation and scheduling

Hey there Crystal Reports experts... please answer this question:
I've been evaluating the Crystal Reports 2008 package (client package) and have been able to generate some nice summary reports form our SQL database using summary pages which have multiple (up to 4) embedded sub-reports in them. I think it's doing what I need it to, but my next hurdle is to automate the summary report for 100+ different customers of ours. The criteria which changes for each customer is a table value in each subreport as well as the date range for the data on the report. I also need to have the title in the report header of each customer, change to reflect the different customer name and date range.
Is there a way to automate this with the standard Crystal Reports 2008 version? I've found a few 3rd party applications online that take care of the Crystal Report automation and scheduling as well as conditional data selection at the same time... is that what I need to use if we don't have ther server version of Crystal, or can I automate it using just the standard 2008 client version??

Hi,
Yes, you need the CR 2008 client license to create the reports and then the server license to distribute the reports.
CR Server 2008 is a single server reporting solution for distributing Crystal Reports only. BOE is a full BI server that can be scaled beyond a single server solution. In addition to just reporting it has other capabilities such as ad hoc query and analysis, dashboarding/scorecarding, etc.
CR Server 2008 currently does not include the "Publishing" functionality yet. Therefore, if you schedule the report to email, all users will see the exact same report. BOE XI 3.1 does have "Publishing" which lets you burst the report so that through a single schedule, each user only sees their slice of the data for that report. You can still use CR Server to accomplish something similar, but it would require you to setup an individual schedule per every customer where each schedule is configured to only return the appropriate data for that customer. This would require a little more effort to setup and maintain.

Logical Database design and physical database implementation

Hi
I am an ORACLE DBA basically and we started a proactive server dashboard portal ,which basically reports all aspects of our infrastructure (Dev,QA and Prod,performance,capacity,number of servers,No of CPU,decomissioned date,OS level,Database patch level) etc..
This has to be done entirely by our DBA team as this is not externally funded project.Now i was asked to do " Logical Database design and physical Database
implementation"
Even though i know roughly what's that mean(like designing whole set of tables in star schema format) ,i have never done this before.
In my mind i have a rough set of tables that can be used but again i think there is lot of engineering involved in this area to make sure that we do it properly.
I am wondering you guys might be having some recommendations for me in the sense where to start?are there any documents online , are there any book on this topic?Are there any documents which explain this phenomena with examples ?
Also exactly what is the difference between logical database design vs physical database implementation
Thanks and Regards

Logical database design is the process of taking a business or conceptual data model (often described in the form of an Entity-Relationship Diagram) and transforming that into a logical representation of that model using the specific semantics of the database management system. In the case of an RDBMS such as Oracle, this representation would be in the form of definitions of relational tables, primary, unique and foreign key constraints and the appropriate column data types supported by the RDBMS.
Physical database implementation is the process of taking the logical database design and translating that into the actual DDL statements supported by the target RDBMS that will create the database objects in a target RDBMS database. This will generally include specific physical implementation details such as the specification of tablespaces, use of specialised indexing (bitmap, clustered etc), partitioning, compression and anything else that relates to how data will actually be physically stored inside the database.
It sounds like you already have a physical implementation? If so, you can reverse engineer this implementation into a design tool such as SQL Developer Data Modeller. This will create a logical design by examining the contents of the Oracle data dictionary. Even if you don't have an existing database, Data Modeller is a good tool to use as a starting point for logical and even conceptual/business models.
If you want to read anything about logical design, "An Introduction to Database Systems" by Date is always a good starting point. "Database Systems - A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation and Management" by Connolly & Begg is also an excellent reference.

Flex Mobile Application with online database

Hi,
I would like to create a Flex Mobile Application but this one have to be read/connect to a online database ?
I don't found any tuto or infos about that...
Could you please tell me if it's possible and if yes, how to do that
Thanks in advance !

I don't understand one thing...
There are different type to do a connection between Flex and PHP.
Which one is the best ?
1. With AMF (Flex : service-config.xml, RemoteObject) (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/crud_flex_php_zend.html)
2. With Zend Framework (Flex : Callresponder, Time,...) already included in Flash Builder 4.5 (http://devzone.zend.com/1701/flex-and-zend-framework_part-1/)
3. With Zend Server and Flash Builder 4.5 with PHP (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash-builder/articles/flashbuilder-php-part1.html)
It's three differents approach but in 2 & 3, it's auto configured with Flex.. however to do a connection between Flex Mobile & PHP (online), I have to use the solution 1
So, if somebody can help me to explain and understand the difference between that.
thanks

BI OnDemand with SAP B1 Online Database

Hi Experts,
Can BI OnDemand [(bi.ondemand.com) |bi.ondemand.com] work on SAP B1 Online Database (OLTP Database) and even on multiple database? if yes then how?

"Datasets" are something different than the Advanced version of BIOD. There are 3 editions of BIOD, and I'll try to clarify each...
BIOD Personal Edition. This is limited to 3 users. You can upload RPT (manually or with Desktop Publisher) or saved-data Webi. You can also upload and explore spreadsheet data (file-based dataset).
BIOD Essential Edition. This is limited to however many users a customer wishes to license. It also has the ability to create a centrally-administered organization with groups of users given permissions to specific folders of data. It can do everything the Personal Edition can do, plus you can create a dataset from SalesForce.com queries (SFDC-based datasets).
BIOD Advanced Edition. This can do everything the Essential Edition can do. Plus, it has a development environment for creating cloud-based data warehouse, ETL jobs, and a Universe. Additionally, you can create datasets based on a Universe. But the only reason you need to do that is if the user wants to use Explorer in addition to RPT and Webi. Today, we cannot Explore data directly from the Universe/Warehouse. That is a limitation we intend to fix this year.
If a customer has SFDC data AND is an Advance Edition cusotmer, they can take advantage of the Accelerator, which basically automates the creation of the warehouse, ETL job, and Universe for SFDC data. For more information on that, see this link: https://resources.ondemand.com/biod/help/SF_accelerator_getting_started.html. We do have an "evaulation" of the accelerator that people can try for free on a limited-time basis. However, if they want to use it permanently, they need to buy Advanced Edition of BIOD.

Access vs. SQL Server for online database

I have a client who insisted on using Access for his online
database because he wanted to be able to download it quickly and
easily to be able to manipulate data on his end. However, after
importing about 20 thousand records into his existing database,
he's not happy with the speed at which it's now processing searches
- the search criteria and underlying queries are very complicated
to begin with. We had the SQL Server discussion previously, but he
wanted to keep it in Access. So, my question is...how much faster
can SQL Server process data over Microsoft Access? Will the results
be significant enough to justify converting the database to SQL
Server? Would his data process faster if he was on a dedicated
server instead of a shared server? Thanks!

If you can get away with using 3 digit zip code areas for
some of your partners, that might cut down on the total number of
records in your database. Also, in addition to indexing, indexing,
indexing, be aware that the "distinct" keyword is a pretty big
resource hog as well. Might be best to stay away from that one.
Not sure if I remember if Access supports stored procedures
or not, but any queries that you can precompile on the database
side will speed things up a bit.
Of course, you could just explain to him that downloading a
20,000 record access file, waiting for it to finish, editing it,
uploading it back to the server, and waiting for it to finish is
not exactly a very effective work flow. You could switch everything
over to MS SQL and then just give him a bound data grid into the
data in CF if he really wants to manipulate the records like that.
But then again, I know how these things go. My
condolences.

Consistent Backup Of Online Database

Hi
How can I take consistent backup of online database.
If I open database in read only mode and take RMAN backup + Full Cold Backup from operating system commands.
Did the above backups will be consistent?
If yes please advise how to alter the status of system to read only.
Wishes
Jawad

Cold backups are known to be a consistent backups , while Hot Backups are not considerd as conssistent backups, you required archivelogs to make them consistent . I am bit strange that you are using two backup methods . I would suggest you to use Hot Backups , if you have production database , otherwise cold backups will do the trick for you .

Best way to do batch update of an online database

We have a periodic process which will do batch update of the online database. I would like to have some advice on what is the best way to avoid this operation affecting cache.
We have multiple environments using shared cache, so the total cache size is pretty big. Each environment on average refresh once a day. Some are pretty big in the DB size but not necessary have high traffic, and thus doesn't have high count in the cache. I am wondering if I do a refresh (basically lots of puts) to the db, will the affect the cache? if so, is there a way to not affect the cache?
If there is a way to disable caching of the LN at environment level, that should also work for us as we a 1st tier object cache.
Also, I would like to cleanup the log at the end of the batch update. Will the cleanup process block the reader threads which are set at read_uncommitted?
Thanks!

Josh,
It is possible to use a base API Cursor (with the CacheMode configured) to write entities in a destination EntityStore after reading them from a source EntityStore. The idea is to read the entities using a DPL cursor from the source store, and then use the binding of the destination store to convert the entities to DatabaseEntry objects, and finally store the DatabaseEntry objects using a base API cursor from the destination store.
import com.sleepycat.je.CacheMode;
import com.sleepycat.je.Cursor;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.OperationStatus;
import com.sleepycat.persist.PrimaryIndex;
import com.sleepycat.persist.EntityCursor;
    PrimaryIndex srcIndex = ... // index of source store
    PrimaryIndex destIndex = ... // index of destination store
    EntityCursor<MyEntity> srcCursor = srcIndex.entities();
    Cursor destCursor = destIndex.getDatabase().openCursor(null, null);
    destCursor.setCacheMode(CacheMode.UNCHANGED);
    EntityBinding<MyEntity> destBinding = destIndex.getEntityBinding();
    DatabaseEntry key = new DatabaseEntry();
    DatabaseEntry data = new DatabaseEntry();
    for (MyEntity e : srcCursor) {
        destBinding.objectToKey(e, key);
        destBinding.objectToData(e, data);
        OperationStatus status = destCursor.put(key, data);
        assert status == OperationStatus.SUCCESS;
    destCursor.close();
    srcCursor.close();Please let me know if you have questions.
Obviously, this would be a lot easier if there were an EntityCursor.put method, so that the CacheMode could be set on the EntityCursor. I'll file an enhancement request to add such a method.

Regular Expressions on an online database

Hi everyone, I'm kinda new so if what I'm about to ask seems crazy bear with me.
What kind of issues would be involved with using a regular expression to search an online database?
The Site says that Java 1.4 now supports a great deal of regex functions but I'm wondering would it be possible to type a regex into some control and for t to evaluate this against what's in the Database?
Am I making sense?
Thanks everyone,
Robin Spiteri.

Normally you access a database via JDBC & SQL. So the question is whether SQL supports regular expressions; this has nothing to do with java (any version). As far as I know regexps are not part of standard SQL although this might not be true for all SQL databases --> I think you cannot use regexps directly to query a database.
If the database you're using supports regexps, and you are really sure that this will be "THE" database, and the system won't change, you can of course included regexps in the SQL, but that'll make it difficult to move to another database
What you definitely can do is loop through the resultset and kick out the records you don't want, e.g.
while(rs.next()) {
if(!matchMyRegExp(rs.getString(1))) {
// loop if reg exp is not matched
continue;
// do something
}This should work on any database, but at the cost of transferring more data than needed from the db to the application.

Offline and Online Procedure

Hi,
I am new in OC, can any body tell me What is difference in Offline and Online Procedure and how we create it .

Hi Daniel,
Now that your O/S is working fine. You will have to install your SAP system in the installation screen choose hom sys copy or db-backup, native method.
Then once installed. Restore either your offline backup or your online backup. If you are using a offline backup to restore you can bring up the sap system directly after the restore.
If you are using an online backup you will also have to apply the sap logs before you can bring up your database.
For the restoration procedure you can use both SQL Query or you can do it via the SQL Server enterprise manager.
For hom sys copy guides - check the url http://service.sap.com/systemcopy
This will work. Please award points if useful.
Thanks, Dibya

Connecting app with online database

Hello,
I have a problem and I'm hoping that you can help me solving it. I want to connect an online database with my windows phone app. The database would have some data which I want to display in the app, users will be able to rate stuff that are in the
database and add some stuff in it. So my problem is that I don't know which database is the best for me to use, a free and a simple one would be great.
Thank you in advance
Otavio

Hi Otavio,
According to your description, you want to public your database content, share and collect content from client apps. You will need to build a virtual machine on
cloud service, install database instance on it, and use
RESTful service to public
CRUD operations. Unfortunately, there is no free version of cloud service. You can use your favor search engine to find more cloud service if you want.
Another option is to use local database, such as
sqlite. It’s free but you will need to do more work on data synchronization.

Working with an online database

Hi,
I would like to know what differences I have to account for when using an online database (with JDBC), rather than a local one? Are there any security issues? Can I connect to the online database and use it in the same way that I would do with a local database, or is it much more complicated?
thanks ..

There is no difference in the jdbc code when you connect to a local database as compared to when you conntect to an online db (like an Oracle Server running on a remote machine).
When loading the driver you just have to make sure that you load it with the right settings.
Driver driver = (Driver) Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("user", "scott");
p.put("password", "tiger");
Connection con = driver.connect("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:sid1", p);
If you want to connect to a remote machine read the machine name (or IP address) and port from an configuration file rather than hard coding it.
hope this helps.
regards,
Abhishek.

SMB and ONline backup

Hi,
In Our R/3 environment, online backup is consisting with archived logs.
Online Backup = DB Files + archived logs
When getting the SMB backup and Online Backup (BRBACKUP), will that going to backup "Online Redo Logs"
(Not Offline Redo logs - archived logs)
When checking the logfile (Online backup) in /oracle/PRD/sapbackup/beejdgaz.anf , it shows the online redologs files also. (Just show, Not saying it is backing up)
But when checking through DP, it is not mentioning that , Online Redo logs are backing up!
I just want to know , for SMB and Online backups will that include Online REDO logs? Is it possible to backup these Online Redo Logs. Since they are currently in use
regards,

Hi,
we are using:
brbackup -t online -d util_file -c -m all -u
brbackup issues below commands which will switch your online logs to offline.
Switching to next online redo log file for database instance <SID> ...
Switch to next online redo log file for database instance <SID> successful
ARCHIVE LOG LIST after backup for database instance <SID>
online logs to offline.
That means, when time of getting the backup, current online redo logs will be taken in to offline mode. (As archived redo logs) ?
then those archived logs will be backing up.
Is that the way that happens.
