Can't read ELF header

I got this error while installing an Oracle upgrade patch (Oracle 9.2.0.8) on the file oemevent. It happened only on one machine. I I eventually allowed the install to finish after telling it to ignore the corrupted file, and copied a good oemevent from the other server I was installing on. These are both Sunfire V480s, Solaris 9, same patch level, same Oracle version. Oracle support says everything points to an OS file corruption problem. While the database is working fine at this point - oemevent is part of a package I don't normally use - I would like to find out why I had this problem. Is there any way to do this? I saved the corrupted file, here's the ls -l for comparison:
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 3292528 Mar 7 19:53 oemevent
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 350356 Mar 6 20:07 oemevent.corrupt
Thanks,
Harry

I got it. Saw this tread:

  • How can i read header text?

    how can i read header text?
    ie, i want to read two values that are stored as header text in purchase order.
    how can i retrieve that values?

    Hi,
    The long texts of a document are stored in a encrypted format in the STXH and STXL tables, where STXH stores the header information of the
    long text like TDOBJECT, which indicates which text object the long text belongs to, TDID which indicates the Text ID and TDNAME which is
    the actual name of the long text.
    As these texts are stored in a encrypted format, the text cannot be read using a SELECT statement. You will have to use the function READ_TEXT. The easiest way of getting to know the parameter values is to go to a document, open the long text in a full screen mode. For example, when you wan to see the long text for a Purchase order, go to transaction ME23n. Assume, you want to see the parameters for the Header Text. In the first Tab Strip Control, click on the Texts tab and select the Header Text node on the left hand side, which will display the text on the right hand side. Now, double click on the text editor on the right hand side. This will open the text in the full screen mode. In the menu Go To --> Header, you should be able to see the values for all the three parameters we discussed above. We will have to do the same thing for whichever text parameters we want to see.
    TREC-TDSPRAS = SY-LANGU.
    TREC-TDID = 'ECCS'.
    TREC-TDOBJECT = 'ZECCS'.
    TREC-TDNAME = Z_ACCOUNT.
    CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

  • Can't read content but heads

    I've ordered some electric newspapers from some certain website. I can receive them all, but I can only read some of them, the others are with heads(sender, receiver subject.....) but content. I've tried to contact the publisher and he replied "the format of our electronic newspaper is only designed for Outlook......." Can I change some settings in Mail to let me be able to read all electric newspaper completely? Thank you very much.

  • Pacman "invalid ELF header"

    hello,
    today i tried to install archlinux on my notebook. I followed the guide provided on the wiki.
    I installed the base system and established an internet connection.
    Unfortunately my pacman won't work. If i try to start it, the following error appears:
    pacman: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libbz2.so.1.0: invalid ELF header
    I have no idea how to fix this. Can you please help me?
    Thx geometr

    No, i installed the i686. There didn't appear any problems during the whole installation process.
    Any further ideas? Or would you suggest to set it up again?
    Thx so far.

  • [SOLVED] Massive upgrade broke my system (invalid ELF header)

    Hi,
    Today I decided to upgrade my system (last time i upgraded was 1 or 2 months ago), but now I can't login.
    I use gdm and I tried to login in both KDE and Gnome, with the same error:
    /usr/bin/ssh-agent: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libkafs.so.0: invalid ELF header
    When I was upgrading my system I noticed the following error for the packages 'pango', 'gconf', 'zsh', 'ktorrent':
    /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libotp.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start
    /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libkasf.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start
    /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start
    /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libMrm.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start

    /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libQtDesignerComponents.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start
    This error message is also coming when i use pacman.
    Note that I have an another bug (maybe related to this one), I installed 'xsane' and 'libjpeg' (required by xsane), then I ran into lot of troubles: lot of applications didn't start (amarok, pgadmin, xsane...) so I had to ""fix"" this by symlinking libjpeg,62.
    I hope we can solve this mess.
    Tell me if you need more information

    Well, there still a problem, with readline.
    When I'm unable to use pacman nor to start postgres, i've got this error:
    /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I alreadey tried to re-install readline, but it did solve the problem.
    Any suggestion?

  • Windows Easy Transfer (WET) Issues with External Hard Drive - "Can't read from the source file or disk"

    I work for Office Depot, in the tech department. Basically, one of our associates was supposed to do a data backup, and re-install Windows 7, then transfer the files back. He used Windows Easy Transfer and compacted everything into a 163 GB file. 
    Now comes the hard part. When we try to put it back on his computer ((drag-and-drop to the desktop) which has been wiped back to factory settings using the recovery partition), it stops at 79.5 GB remaining (you know how it doesn't give you a % of completion,
    it just shows how many GB are remaining) and then says "Can't read from the source file or disk" and gives you an option to try again, or cancel. It gets hung up on the same point each time.
    Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the contents on the drive are his wife's architect blueprints and interior design stuff, along with wedding photos, etc, which are the only copies they have. On top of those, they have court documents and other
    important files that we are unable to access now.
    I wasn't involved with this transfer, so I'm trying to clean up the mess as best I can. I remembered that the customer's wife was Russian, and had some files typed with a Russian keyboard, so on and so forth. I wonder if that's the issue? If not, I really
    have no idea how to manually extract things from a ".mig" file, or how to diagnose what area is potentially corrupted.
    In light of this situation, we tried using "Recuva" to recover the files post-wipe, but everything was corrupted or unable to be opened, and it also extracted and recovered all of the "useless" photos, such as the skype logos, up and
    down arrows for browsers, etc (it was 160,000+ photos).
    Trying to avoid a potential lawsuit, unhappy customer, and costing the company lots of money to see if professionals can get into this external hard drive.
    Other relevant information:
    We used a Toshiba 500 GB (465 GB) external hard drive.
    Customer's computer is an HP Pavilion P6000 Series (Model No. p6520y) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.
    Any other information that is needed can be provided, thanks in advance, and hopefully we can find a solution to this issue quickly!
    -John

    I think there's a lack of understanding somewhere.
    "If you even can't start the process, please unplug it from your new PC. Then head back to your new computer and plug
    the external drive back in to your new computer. "
    Unplug from new, head back to new, plug it back in? That doesn't make much sense! Haha.
    I knew what you meant though, somewhat. When I search through the drives after clicking yes (Has windows easy transfer
    already saved your files blah blah blah) I click on the transfer file and it says "Windows Easy Transfer could not open the file".
    Rather than drag-and-drop the file to the desktop, I now tried to double-click on the file itself while it was plugged
    into the computer. It opened, and it started transferring until it was about 70% completed, and then an error popped up saying "WET can't open the easy transfer file, make sure your USB device is plugged in or check your internet connection". 
    I checked, and the USB hard drive's light wasn't on. Now, I unplug it and plug it back in, and the light comes back on,
    so I click Retry, and it resets the bar back to nothing and says "Transfer time: 1 minute".
    Rather than continue trying, I clicked "Cancel" instead of Retry, and it says "Your transfer did not complete successfully."
    It says to click "view report" for more information, but there's no "view report button".
    At the moment, I am scanning the External Drive for bad sectors using the check disk tool in properties. It's frozen
    at "0 USN bytes processed".

    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
    Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
    Do you have any suggestions?

  • How to read file header/open filein binary mode

    i am using FileConnenction API to read from a file. how can i open a file in binary mode so that i can read file header. In other words i want to open a file in binary mode.

    You can always try looking at the [Header Signatures|http://www.techpathways.com/uploads/headersig.txt]. But it would probably be easier to adjust your application so it doesn't have to guess.

  • How can I add a header/footer to a document?

    I am using Adobe X Standard, version 10.1.2 and everything I am reading tells me to go to tools>pages>Header & Footer>Add Header & Footer, but once I click on tools to the left, the only options I have are export and create pdf files and send files. There is no tools option in the tool bar on the top. File, edit, view, window & help are my only options. How can I add a header/footer to a document?!

    What you describe tends to indicate that you're using Reader, not Acrobat. If you do have Acrobat installed, make sure you're using it and not Reader.

  • I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user.  Among the surprises:
    - it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
    - it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
    - it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
    There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
    -mail merge
    -meaningful Applescript/Services support
    -non-contiguous text selection
    -ability to set defaul zoom
    -ability to see comments while editing
    -ability to print comments
    -ability to read RTF files
    -ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
    These about about 90 other features are gone.
    Then there are the bugs.  Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers.  Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
    Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system.  Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!).  Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.

  • How can I modify the header quoting a reply?

    I hate the standard header for quoting original message in replies ("On <date> <someone> wrote")
    I like the standard header for forwarding ("original message"/ "Date" / "From" / "To")
    How can I get the same header for replies?

    In '''Thunderbird, Tools|Add-ons|Extensions''' - it really isn't there? You didn't look in Firefox by mistake? ;-)
    I'm a bit wary of this add-on. I've only ever used it in an all-english environment, so I can't comment on any adverse effects on alternative locale settings. I found it rather prone to quoting the wrong message body, and it didn't always honour my header settings. :-(
    I suspect you can set the "standard header" via the Config Editor. I can't recall mine ever using the format you describe, so that is empirical evidence that it can be changed, though maybe my aborted test of this add-on changed it for me.
    Look for ''mailnews.reply_header_authorwrote'' and related config entries.

    Try to install win 2003 server software, do the fresh installation of oracle software, now copy the datafiles and controlfiles to same locations as you did on winxp.
    get back to us, if still not out of the woods. I still doubt that a simple restore would do the trick, since you doing it across different platforms, might be I can be wrong, but this is what I personally feel, you not able to start the database on winxp.

  • Oops. Can I read my byte stream files with missing headers?

    My fault, I know, but I wrote out an 1D array of numbers to a file using the simple Write File vi, not realising that a header would have been a good idea at the time. Now I can't read them back in because LabVIEW doesn't know what they are, and trying to put the original array element (Dbl Precision Number) on the Byte Stream Type of Read File doesn't work.
    So, is there any way that I can insert an appropriate header back into the beginning of the file so that I can then read them in successfully?
    (No, unfortunately I can't regenerate the data. Believe me, I would if I could!)
    Thanks,
    Riggy

    I suppose you used the Write File function from the File I/O pallette since there is no Write File VI?
    If that is the case your file should be exactly 8*N bytes long, if the array had N elements of type DBL.
    You can simply read back you data with the 'Read characters from File' VI (from the File I/O pallette) and then typecast the read string to a 1D array of DBL. (typecast is the first icon in the 'Advanced--Data Manipulation' pallette.

  • How can I see the heading of a column, whilst at the bottom of a document?

    I'm doing a long list of expenses, and the headings are at the top of columns. Now I've filled in many rows, I have to go up and down the page to see the heading make sure that I fill the correct column in. Is there a way of splitting a document across the middle (or something like this) so that I can always see the heading at the top of the column even though i am way down the page?
    thanks so much - Nigel

    Hello
    There is a really simple workaround
    Duplicate your table and, in the copy, remove every rows minus row 1 thru 7.
    You will be able to leave the new table (name it "header7" for instance) at the top of your screen
    and put the main one just under it.
    Doing that, you will be able to scroll in the main table.
    If the contents of the seven top rows may be modified.
    Replace the contents of the cells in header7 by a formula looking like that:
    A1 =mainTable :: A1
    So the changes in row 1 thru 7 in mainTable will be reported in header7.
