Change Snapshot controlfile name

We are using RAC.
When I try to chage the location of snapshot controlfile location,connecting to both catalog and target database(as sys) to a locaton shared by all the instance using
RMAN> configure snapshot controlfile name to '/oracle/test_flash/ASYST/backupset/p1/snapcf_ASYST.f';
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of configure command at 09/01/2013 02:23:12

ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
But when I connect to the target database as sys and execute the below, the location of the controlfile chaged
SYS@ASYST1 > EXECUTE SYS.DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.CFILESETSNAPSHOTNAME('/oracle/test_flash/ASYST/backupset/p1/snapcf_ASYST.f');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
What is the difference between the two ?

It seems that the *supported* method of the RMAN command line attempts to create the snapshot controlfile while the *unsupported* method of the PLSQL API doesn't attempt to do so.
Which would you rather use, one that is supported or one that is not documented, not supported ?

Snapshot controlfile

Hi folks,
what is the difference between snapshot control file and backup control file ?
Thanks & regards.

Hi,,
For example:
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO ‘/oracle/ora10g/dbs/snapcf_test11g.f’
RMAN needs a snapshot control file when resynchronizing with the recovery catalog or taking a backup of the current control file. The default location is platform specific and depends on the Oracle home of each target database. In Linux environment it locates in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory. You can change its location with this configuration.
For example:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO ‘%F’
By default, RMAN automatically names control file backups and saves them into FRA. To configure RMAN to write control file backups to the specific directory: %F will generate a unique filename likes c-‘IIIIIIIIII- YYYYMMDD-QQ’ . Here ‘IIIIIIIIII’ is DBID, ‘YYYYMMDD’ is date and ‘QQ’ is hexadecimal id. You can also backup controlfile to specific location.
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO ‘ora_home/oradata/cf_%F’;
Thank you

Determine location of snapshot controlfile

Hi,
Do you know how to determine the location of the snapshot controlfile, whatever your rman version is?
In 9i and 10g, I can do RMAN> show snapshot controlfile name;I wonder if this is possible in RMAN8i, since the show command does not exist.
I found out the X$ table where it is stored, x$kccfn and an internal query done by Oracle, select fnnam from x$kccdi di ,x$kccfn fn where ((di.disfp=fn.fnnum and bitand(di.diflg,8192)=8192) and fn.fntyp=0);, which provides the correct answer.
But it is not too much easy :-( Is there a recommended way to check it in 8i?
Regards + Thanks

Can I change TimeMachine volume name for local snapshots?

Hi all,
I had a problem with my hard drive and after restoring the volume, where TimeMachine stores local snapshots, has a strange name (some autogenerated text). Is it possible to specify the volume name explicitly?
Thank you
Regards
Marcel

I think so, just as you can change any volume name.
CLick on the title and type in the box to have a new name. You may have to reelect that volume using TM's preference pane.

How to change the SID name in the server

hi all,
i installed oracle 10g R1 on windows 2003 server. i gave an sid and created a database. the database is new and there is no data in the db. now i want to change the SID name of the database. pls help me in doing this.
regards,
nagarjuna

Hi,
Just a notice: SID and DBNAME are two different things. But the usual practice is to have SID = DBNAME, so let me assume you want to change both SID and DBNAME.
Either you can do it manually by recreating the controlfile as orawiss suggests. You may discover some challenges around the way (for instance, for the command CREATE CONTROLFILE SET "new_dbname" to work, you have do delete or rename the old controlfiles first).
Or, you can change it easier by using nid utility. The detailed howto and all implications can be found on:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10825/dbnewid.htm
Basically:
SQL> create pfile from spfile;
SQL> shutdown immediate;
nid TARGET=sys/password@oldname DBNAME=newname
copy the initoldname.ora to initnewname.ora and edit the DB_NAME parameter to reflect the new name
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> create spfile from pfile;
SQL>startup mount;
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Then don't forget to generate new password file for the new dbname (using orapw) and make changes in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora if needed.
Just make sure, the database has been properly shut down before changing the db_name either manualy by recreating controlfile or by the newid utility, as the renamed database has to be opened with resetlogs - making any crash recover of improperly shut down database impossible.
Kind regards,
Martin

Change rpool dataset name

Can I change the dataset name for a root pool? When I built the system I modified the default dataset name to something less confusing. Now it need to change and rebuilding the system is not an option.
Is this possible w/o damaging the system?
Thanks

You can rename the dataset using:
# zfs rename rpool/ROOT/server-foo rpool/ROOT/app-server
From the zfs(1M) man page:
     zfs rename filesystem|volume|snapshot
     filesystem|volume|snapshot
     zfs rename [-p] filesystem|volume filesystem|volume
         Renames the given dataset. The new target can be located
         anywhere in the ZFS hierarchy, with the exception of
         snapshots. Snapshots can only be renamed within the
         parent file system or volume. When renaming a snapshot,
         the parent file system of the snapshot does not need to
         be specified as part of the second argument. Renamed
         file systems can inherit new mount points, in which case
         they are unmounted and remounted at the new mount point.
         -p
             Creates all the   nonexistent   parent   datasets.
             Datasets created in this manner are automatically
             mounted according to the mountpoint property inher-
             ited from their parent.
     zfs rename -r snapshot snapshot
         Recursively rename the snapshots of all descendent
         datasets. Snapshots are the only dataset that can be
         renamed recursively.You'll need to ensure the application is down so the umount works. Alternatively you can keep the current dataset name and change the mountpoint using 'zfs set mountpoint=/app-server rpool/ROOT/app-server'
Am I indeed in the wrong forum?Yes. There isn't currently a dedicated ZFS forum so it's best to use the Solaris 10 or Solaris 11 forums. If you have a support contract there IS a dedicated ZFS area on http://communities.oracle.com

We have an itunes account on our desktop and my kids have it on their ipod and iphone. I went in and changed our user name from my old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my new one and now either of my kids can access the itunes store..

We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
Can this be fixed??

Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.

How can I change my user name? Someone else is using "phammm" my user name. At this point I cannot sign in with my email address and change my name. Help!

# Right click on page and select '''Page Info''' form context menu.
# On last tab ('''Security''') there is '''View saved passwords''' button, click it and delete all saved passwords for this page.

Unable to change group text name or add person to some group texts in iOS 8

I really like the ability to change group text names as it helps me separate work group texts from personal especially when I have coworkers that have separate business phones. I'm unable to change the name of some group texts as the option is not there when I go into details. I'm also unable to add contact to the same group texts that I'm unable to change the name on. Is this a glitch or am I missing something?

Hi CaliWingsFan,
If you are having issues with renaming and adding users to group texts, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

Hello,
At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
Thanks,
- Josh
<Email Edited By Host>

I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
(The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

How can i change the screen name in my icould account?

my Apple ID used to have my Dad's name because of the billing issues.. now is changed again to have my name, but i keep seeing that my account on icloud.com still says my dad's name, so if i try to send an email through there it says my dad's name and my email address instead of my name...
how can i change the name that appears linked to my icloud account? (note that as i already sayd my Apple ID has my name now, i jsut want to know why is not my name in my icloud account?)
thank you,

I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.

How can I change the "short name" of my account?

I want to change the short name of my account because when my dad bought this computer for me he set up the account with his name as the short name and it has been bothering me ever since.
When I go to system preferences and then accounts my account is listed and when I click on it under password I am able to change my name, but not my short name because it is greyed out and cannot be clicked. Is there any way to change the short name on my account? I can't even delete my account and make a new one because the account delete button is greyed out when I click on my account.
Also, I went to my home folder and changed that from my dad's name to my name. This has reset every program on my computer to default settings! For example when I open my Safari browser a message pops up saying a keychain cannot be found to store Safari and asks me if I want to restore default settings.
So pretty much I've tried to change the short name on my administrative account, I reset everything to default settings and my short name is still my father's name. Can anyone help me out here?

Try this.
Or you could just create a new account and delete the old one.
