Change the SYS & SYSTEM Oracle passwords with BRTOOLS, any concerns ?

Hello, I would like to change both the SYS and SYSTEM Oracle passwords with BRTOOLS :
(1) Can I use BRTOOLS to change them, or, I have to change them through SQLPlus ?
(2) Any concerns, will this password change affect my SAP normal operations ?
(3) Do I need to re-start the whole SAP UNIX system when I complete the password changing ?
(4) Or changing these 2 passwords is totally an Oracle RDBMS issue, it will not have any effect on SAP ?

But I failed. I was going to change the password of SYSTEM, but why SAP asked me to enter the password of SAPDEV ?
Why ? OK, then I entered the SAPDEV password (it is the same as SYSTEM's old password).
Then, I called SQLPlus and entered login name : SYSTEM, but why its correct password was still the old one, the new one failed. Why ?
I just wanted to change the password of SYSTEM, why it was related to SAPDEV ?

Oracle SYS/SYSTEM shared passwords

Unfortunately we have a requirement not to have the sys/system passwords shared even among the DBA staff. Someone mentioned an Oracle article which details not having shared passwords. The problem is that security perceives this issue as a threat. I have argued until I am blue in the face that these two accounts are needed by the dba team. Does anyone have any information on this subject to pass along? Things that worked and even those that didnt? The real issue comes into play when you start looking at cron jobs on the oracle account which have most of the privileged passwords visible.
Thanks!

You could argue that with me - a DBA - until you are blue in the face and you would still loose. You DO NOT need the sys and system accounts to do your job as a DBA.
Here is what we do...
1. create a role, or set of roles something like DBA_SENIOR, DBA_SECURITY, DBA_USERADMIN, etc. Give them all of the privileges they need for their specific jobs.
2. create user accounts for each DBA - we use externally identified but they need not be.
3. grant each DBA his appropriate role.
4. create a password file.
5. grant sysdba to the DBAs - so that they can become SYS on those times when it is the only way to do what needs to be done.
6. give sys and system impossible passwords.
7. DO NOT grant DBA role to anyone.
Now you have met the requirement and your dba's can do their jobs. And if you create scripts, then it is easy to make this routine for whenever you create a database.

Changing the 'SYS' password question ?

Is it possible to change the password for 'SYS' without changing the 'REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE' from shared ?

NO
conn sys as sysdba
SQL> conn sys as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "SYS"
SQL> alter user sys identified by password;
User altered.
BUT IF UR remote_login_passwordfile IS SHARED
THEN U CANT ABLE TO CHANGE THE SYS PASSWORD
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28046: Password change for SYS disallowed

Interface getting failed after changing the Business system to that service

Hello All,
Our Env... is XI 3.0 and this is related to produciton env.
Based on our client requirment to change the business system from client 871 to 100 for one of the R3 system which is reciever type(rfc).
After doing all the necessary changes , that particular service is getting failed and in the CC monitoring for that service I can see the log as "RFC_ERROR_LOGIN_FAILURE" mandate 871 (earlier client) does not exist in the system.
The steps which I have followed to change the Business system.
1>I loged into the SLD of PRD system and clicked on businsess landscape .then i have clicked on the specified system to be changed (RY1 ) and then clicked on change mode and selected the required client (100) and saved the settings.
2>I have logged into ID(Integration Directory) and selected the service (RY1) which need to be changed .Under service -->Adaper specific -->compare sld configurations and then clicked on apply changes.
3>Now selected that communication channel of service (RY1) RFCRecieverR3 and changed the client 871 to 100 and the password of user XIRFCUSER ...
Then i saved the changes and after that i have activated that interface.
After that when i logged into CC monitoring and viewed that service channels and see the following errors:
Receiver channel 'RFCReceiverR3' for party '', service 'RY1'
Error can not instantiate RfcPool caused by:
com.sap.aii.af.rfc.RfcAdapterException: error initializing RfcClientPool:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.repository.RfcRepositoryException: can not connect to destination system due to: com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (103) RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: Mandante 871 não existente no sistema (selecionar mandante existente)
Can any one help me out of this situation , and i need to fix this ASAP as this is production system.
Awaiting for your reply.
Best Regards
Rakesh Reddy

Hello Nisar
Thanks for the update,
Let me say few points about this particular problem:
1>The interface "XX" from XI sends data to two systems( R3 -->RP1 & RY1), some thing like branched (same data is passed to both the reciever systems).
And the second RY1 is copy of First system RP1 (Production sys) which is used for data loading purpose and every week there will be a refresh from First sys (RP1) to Second(RY1).
2>Now the first sys(RP1) is recieving the data successfully from XI , and the second one (RY1) is getting failed .And this started after changing the Business system 871 to 100 .
3>As mentioned by you , I have checked all the points mentioned
    i)In SM59 for XI (ABAP part) two rfc's are maintained (LCRSAPRFC & SAPSLDAPI) and the test connection is also fine...But I did not find these two connections in reciever systems(RP1 & RY1 too).
   ii)In reciever system RY1 ,when i went to RZ70 , i did not noticed any special settings and SLD Bridge :Gateway Information is not maitained over there .and the same thing in other reciever system(RP1) , with this can we confirm that there is nothing wrong in RZ70 settings.
   iii)In SLDAPICUST at recievers end for both systems nothing is mantained , where as in XI system all the details are maintained(Host name,port, user & password).
I have translated the error log into english from the CC monitoring for this interface which is in portuguese language .
It says that:
RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: 871 Mandante not in the system (select principal existing)
Kindly advise me what to do ..for fixing this problem(this is pretty urgent and it is production env...)..
If any information required , I can provide that.
Best Regards

Changing the source system in QA

Hello All,
I just wanted a quick opinion from your experience on the following issue:
We have a ECC Dev client 20 connected to BI Dev client 20
Similarly we have ECC QA 120 connected to BI QA 120
But due to some reason we now want to connect a new ECC QA client 150 to BI QA 120 and take out ECC QA 120 totally(120 is wiped off).
I already have a lot of development transported to BI QA where the source system is ECC 120. Now if 120 dies and we pull the data from 150, what are the pitfalls to watch for?
Like all my Master data objects , DSO and Cubes still point to ECC QA client 120 but now the "actual" source system is going to be ECC QA 150.
Points,
Gaurav

You need to replicate all the data sources in BI from QA 150 and change the source system assignment to 150 instead of 120.
Also, you need to reinitilase delta for delta enabled extractors.
Two things to watch out:
1. If you dont have source system identifier, then if you happen to get records with same key, then it will overwrite. This applies to both master and transaction data.
2. For transaction data that is not delta enables, there may be a possibiltiy with which the records will get duplicated. So, better to delete the old requests before reload the data from QA150.

If I change the apple id and password to a new apple id will it erase my phone?

if I change the apple id and password to a new apple id will it erase my phone?
A friend of mine has a phone that is set up on someone else's apple id. We want to change it to his new apple id and keep all the info on the phone. and back up to icloud.
I am thinking if I just change the apple id account it will back up the phone on the new account?
Am afraid that it may erase everything?

No, but why are you changing your Apple ID? Any apps and other content that you have purchased are forever tied to that Apple ID and you will have to purchase them all again.
To erase the phone for use with another Apple ID, follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Recent software upgrade has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook, and diary items no longer upload from my iPhone. I've tried a to fix it and seem to have made things worse. What is the best way to get the two devices in sync ?

Recent software upgrades has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook and items entered on my iPhone are no longer uploaded to my macbook. I've tried to fix it and seem to have made things worse, my iPhone now has a long list of calanders that I don't want and can't delete and nothing is uploading to my macbook.

You need to look at Mac's iTunes, check  > System Preferences > iCloud.
If you use iCloud for Calendar, Contacts then turn off those items in iTunes, Info tab with your iPhone connected and selected.

     <tr><td class="t6Body">#BODY#</td></tr>
     </table>     option style="font-size:1.2em; color:#CC00CC; font-family:Verdana" inserted
     and then change in the template for the report region the Option
     Edit Region->User Interface -> Template to "MenueReport".
     I see a new color but NO font-size will be changed!
- I have changed the query to     SELECT ' <font size="4">' || rt_name as x, rt_nr FROM report_types order by rt_nr     But there is NO change of font size, and the Tag <font size= .. is deprecated.
Used Version is Apex apex_030200 with Firefox 3.5.5 Windows.
After all this failed attempts, i have no idea how to change the font for page to a larger size.
Can anyone help me and explain how to change the font size in Apex for a Radiogroupe?
Thanks in advanced
Dieter

Assign a [static region ID|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/ui.htm#sthref1438] to the region containing the radiogroup.
Place the following code in the HTML Header page property, replacing static-region-id with the ID given to the region:
<style type="text/css">
#static-region-id label {
font-size:1.2em;
</style>after that how do we need to call this css
and does it need to be called within the Region HTML table cell attributes of a region or in the HTML Form Element Attributes of the radio group items
>
CSS isn't "called". Learn how [themes, templates|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/themes.htm#CJABAEIE] and CSS are used to control the appearance of APEX applications.

How to change the Source system from ONE DataSource?

Hi,
I'm trying to change a DataSource's source system (active with dtp and transfer rules), but it's not possible to do it in change mode because the field 'Source Sytem' is not enabled. I know I can use the BDLS transaction but I understand that this is for change all Datasources and I only want to change one of all.
Thanks for your help

Hi Marcel,
As I understand apart from file and web services all other data sources are replicated from underlying source system. BDLS transaction is used to change the source system but in case of system copy activity and it is necessary because the data sources points to old source system.
In your case as I understand you will have to replicate the current data source directly from underlying source system and then build the rest of the flow. May I know how you have got this single data source for which the source system is different?

Is changing the name of Oracle JDBC Driver JAR legally valid?

Hi,
I understand that it is legally fine to bundle Oracle JDBC driver JAR along with the applications. However, is it also legally OK to change that JAR name and then bundle it with the applications? Information on any legal implications which may need to be addressed is highly appreciated. I read through the licensing information and following is some excerpt:
You may not:
+<...>+
- remove or modify any program markings or any notice of our proprietary rights;*
I'm thinking if changing the JAR name either removes or modifies any program markings...
Thanks in advance...
============================================================================
Original post said "is it also legally OK to change that JAR"; now it is edited as "is it also legally OK to change that JAR *name*"

2. I suspect the agreement allows you to rejar the classes. Which allow you to put it in any jar that you want.
As with the other poster I don't see the point either.
