Changing the UID & GID  after CRS, ASM, RDBMS  software has been installed

I have 10 servers with inconsistent UID’s & GID’s, all running a single node cluster setup (11.22.0.3). I am wanting to make ALL of these servers consistent and can do so with a simple command run as root
find / -uid oracle –exec chown 777 {} \;
find / -gid oracle –exec chgrp 777 {} \;
I am really trying to do this without reinstalling software all over the place. But, I can not get Oracle support to sanction this.
Any ideas from you folks???

I'll buy standardizing ... that part I got.
I would be glad to dispute that this has anything to do with "best practice" as defined by any reasonable measure.
As to manageability ... thumbs down there too. As an Oracle DBA UID and GID should be invisible to you. So I'm really interested in the specifics of what "pain" you are actually feeling.
Simply put ... if you worked for me ... I'd tell you go to find some real work to do unless you could point to something concrete that would have a positive effect on productivity.
And then, of course, we could endlessly debate why Oracle doesn't support what you want but that, to me at least, is secondary.

    You can do this with Acrobat, but, as Claudio says, it's not possible in Adobe Reader.

  • HT4623 How long should the restart take after the software has been installed?

    Its already been an hour and the bar is barely moving

    Same here on two Macs, a Mid 2012 MBPro Retina/SSD and a Mid-2011 27" iMac. I waited two hours for the "Restarting" dialog to disappear on the MBPro and then I forced a shutdown and restarted. That worked and did not cause any apparent problems. I went to bed last night with the "Restarting" dialog on the iMac and it was still there this morning. I forced a restart and it, too, seems OK.
    My guess is you should expect this to go on forever, or until you force a restart.
    This is why I do SuperDuper backups of my machines before updating the OS, and I disconnect the backup drives before updating.

  • Dropdowns and many buttons disabled in PWA 2007 after Microsoft Project Professional 2010 has been installed

    Hi Team,
    I have Microsoft Project professional 2007 installed and also using PWA for 2007.
    I recently installed Microsoft Project Professional 2010, and since the time i installed 2010 all the button in PWA 2007 have been disabled.
    1. I could not select a project from "Project Center"
    2. I could not select resources from "Manage Resources"
    3. I could not select dropdowns in the project properties even if the project is selected.
    ALl the other team members are able to use both without any issues.
    I also uninstalled IE8 browser and re-installed, that didn't help.
    I could use PWA normally after 2010 is uninstalled.
    Please suggest a solution for this.

    Try running a repair on Project Professional 2007. You always have to do this after installing a newer version of project. Always run a repair on the previous version. What's happening is that PWA is not seeing 2007 on your machine because 2010 overwrote
    some of the shared objects.

  • In Pages 5.1 how do I change the default spacing after a paragraph? I used to be able to do this with the inspector. I no longer see the option.

    In pages 5.1 I was wondering how to change the line spacing after a paragraph.

    This is from the online Pages Help . You have the option to the Help in your Pages Help menu
    Adjust line spacing
    You can adjust the spacing between lines in a paragraph, and change the amount of space before or after a paragraph.
    Click in the paragraph whose spacing you want to change, or select one or more paragraphs.
    In the Text pane of the Format inspector, click Style.
    Click the disclosure triangle next to Spacing, then choose an option from the pop-up menu:
    Lines: Choose when the distance between ascenders (parts of letters that extend to the top of the line) and descenders (parts of letters that extend below the line) should stay the same. The space between lines is proportional to the font size.
    At least: Choose when the distance between lines should remain fixed (but not to overlap if the text gets large).The distance from one line to the next will never be less than the value you set, but it may be larger for larger fonts to prevent overlapping text lines.
    Exactly: The distance between the baselines.
    Between: The value you set increases the space between the lines, instead of increasing the height of the lines. By contrast, double-spacing doubles the height of each line.
    Click the arrows next to the spacing field to set the amount of space for the option you chose.
    To adjust the amount of space before and after the selected paragraph, click the arrows for Before Paragraph and After Paragraph

  • How to change the Data sources after deploying the application ??

    Hi All,
    i want to know how to change the Data sources after deploying the application to the application server ???
    I'm using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0)

    Can you access the Enrprise Manager website of the target Application Server from your location? If so, you can change the datasource in it. If not, yo can bundle the datasource definition in your archive and use that one instead of the one configured in the target OC4J container. Or this will just be the responsability of your customer: whenever you send a new WAR file, they have to modify the datasource if needed and deploy the application?

  • Changing the language in After Effects cs5

    Hello, I'm trying to change the language in After Effects cs5 from German to English on a mac (10.8.5 osx). I've tried going to package contents/resources/AMTlanguages and changing de_DE to en_US  but when I restart it and enter the serial number it says its incorrect for this product. I was able to change photoshop without any trouble but does anyone know if AE has a language specific license? help please and thank you!

    Any standalone retail package is language specific as dictated by the serial number and installer. Lucky for you, you can easily set AE to English by creating a file called ae_force_english.txt in your user profile's documents folder. the file doesn't need to contain anything, it just needs to be present and named properly.

    This indicates an action taken by the adaptive firewall built into the OS - it's blocking some client based on the rules defined.
    You should look a little deeper at the logs to see what traffic is coming into your machine, especially traffic you don't expect. I'd also look to block the services you don't need - do you really need FTP for example? it's a prime target for hackers and wouldn't surprise me if the af is reacting to the remote user trying to exploit the FTP server.

    How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
    We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information.  However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data  in the field which we have this edit.  Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting.  any idea how we can get around this issue?

    You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

  • 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.
