Checking for EXECUTE priviledges on any Procedure or Function

Hi All,
I know that the table DBA_SYS_PRIVS can be used to check the priviledges for any object.
But after querying the view, I could see the priviledges on diff packages and other tables but could not find any Procedure or Function name ( Standalone or packaged) in the view.
Where else could I find the same?
Having execute priviledge on compelte package means having same on its contents( procs,functions etc)..is this right?
Rgds,
Aashish S.

Aashish,
You have object privileges (CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE and system privileges (ALTER SYSTEM, ALTER USER). They serve different purposed.
DBA_SYS_PRIVS is for system privileges only.
You can not have seen privileges on packages, at least not EXECUTE privileges.
These are in DBA_TAB_PRIVS.
Packages are granted at the package level.

I am looking for a (free, ideally) virus scan/check for my MacBook Pro -- any suggestions?

Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in everyemail attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

How to check if column_ name is used by any procedure ,package ,function

Hello
Help Is greatly appreciated .
Kindly please let me know for the folllwoing:
How to check if column_ name is used by any procedure ,package ,function ,trigger or in any dataabse objects

>
How to check if column_ name is used by any procedure ,package ,function ,trigger or in any dataabse objects
>
In general you can't. Code can always exist outside the database and it is always possible that you have dynamic code and there is no way to find references like that if used by dynamic code. That dynamic code reference could be based on a query stored in a table.
And there is no way of knowing if external code (e.g. a Java app) references that column.
Another issue is that a column could exist in multiple schemas and in multiple objects of different types in those schemas. So a global DB search for 'MY_COLUMN' might turn up references in multiple schemas and you may only care about one schema.
Unfortunately a reference to 'MY_COLUMN' in code could refer to many different objects or to an object in different schemas so how would you resolve those? Especially if you take synonyms into account which can ponit about anywhere.
Why don't you tell us what it is you are really trying to do?
Are you trying to find the references to a particular column? Why? Are you planning on removing/renaming the column? If so then the simplest way is to remove/rename the column and see what objects become invalid. Those invalid objects will have become invalid because that column is no longer available.
As suggested you can use DBA_SOURCE for references in code that use the standard names. But for tables/views you need to use all_tab_columns. And for dynamic code or client code (e.g. a Java application) there is no way.

Can i create any procedure or function inside a oracle reserve package?

Hi!
Can i create any procedure or function inside a oracle reserve package. Suppose, I want to create a function called x in the dbms_output package. Can i do that? Or can i extend the features of this package and create/derived a function from it like we extend any class in JAVA. I'm not sure - whether this is at all possible. I'll be waiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.
Satyaki De.

No, but you can write a wrapper package and use that instead of using the Built-In package directly. So, instead of calling DBMS_OUTPUT, you call your own Package.

ITunes refuses to check for App updates! Any idea why?

I'm having what seems to be a strange problem. I have iTunes 11.0.1, with apps I have downloaded on my machine. Regardless of an iPad, iPod or iPhone attached, clicking on the "Check for Updates" button will NOT work. At all. I get app update alerts on my devices when they are not connected, but never on my Mac, running 10.6.8.
Does anyone have an explanation for this?
And before you give simpleton answers, I don't have "Pregnancy tracker" in my apps, the computer is authorized for my AppleID, and it is irrelevant whether an iDevice is connected. The iTunes app simply refuses to check when I click the button.

The "check for update" button isn't for your apps. It's for your iOS version.
If you want to update apps, select the "apps" entry in your library, and you'll see the "# updates available" button, if you have updates.

Override the storage section check for manual entries

Hi All,
I am facing a issue on Storage section search.While creating To system is giving correct Storage section according t the settings but if I would like to change the storage section to different storage section system is not giving any error message.It is giving only warning message check your enteries.
So I would like know is there is config settings to avoid another storage section selcetion which are not assignned storage search indicator.
I have checked in help.sap.com .I following information .
To set up the strategy for storage sections, see the section on activating storage section searches under Strategies in the Warehouse Management IMG documentation.
If storage section checking is active for the storage type, then the system searches in the storage type only for those empty storage bins in storage sections that have been allowed for the material being put away. When you are creating a transfer order and manually enter a storage bin, then the system checks whether the bin is in a storage section that is allowed for the material.
*You can also make an entry in customizing that permits you to override the section check for manual entries.*_
Can please advice me inorder activate the config for override the section check for manual entries or any warning message.
Thanks & regards,
Srikanth

HI,
Thanks for your reply.
I want Error message.

How to remove Help - About - "Check for updates"

I need to disable completelly all update possibilities from Firefox 4 installation and this is still something that I have not been able to remove.
inside omni.jar I have found similar configuration files that have been working also in prevoius FF versions and have been able to remove update tab completelly from Tools - Options -> Advanced but I have not been able to remove this update button from FF.
I thought that I found correct file to change:
"omni.jar\chrome\browser\content\browser -> aboutdialog.xul" but modifying that does not affect at all to this About - check for updates button.
Any ideas? I have tried to check other files also for this, but have not yet found anything, unfortunately...

A possibility is to use CSS code in userChrome.css or create an extension that adds this code.
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#updateBox { display:none !important; }</nowiki></pre>

Hello
If you just want to be able to find out what rollback segments there are, you can query dba_rollback_segs, which will give you all sorts of info about rollback segments.
Is that what you need or is it more involved?

Check for disabled cookies

I need to be able to check if cookies are enabled or disabled on the server side using JAVA. On the client side, it is easy to check for disabled cookies, but we need that functionality on the server side.

It is a though one and not very easily accomplished.
Conceptual idea on how to do it:
Server sends page to user and gives it an cookie.
The page contains generated unique URL's.
As soon as the user clicks on a link. Assemble information from the user by checking incoming cookie and the URL. If the cookie does not exist or does not conform to the one sent for the unique URL, user has them disabled or fooling them via proxy-server of some sort.
Voila - now you know if they got cookies enabled or not!
Don't think there is another way. Some web servers do this by automatic to keep track of sessions and some don't. Check manual for your server.
Pros:
Seamless transition for cookie based servers
Cons:
Strange URL's for the user
Might need URL rewriting for all code
User must traverse one way or another through 2 pages
Generated pages has to be used. Static HTML is a bit hard for this purpose.

Peter Norell

Error while using DB Adapter in BPEL[Calling a procedure or function]

Whats the Issue? Is the issue with the procedure or the BPEL process? Please help me out. I am stuck in this

Hi,
According to your message you have selected your procedure, but looks like the procedure is not having any reply or response parameter with it.
Have you executed the procedure separately from SQL editor and see whether you are able to get the response or not ?
If you get response, then how many columns are you getting ?
Check the column names are matching with the schema file generated by adapter and see whether those column names are available as elements in .xsd file.
Example provided below..
In the below link, check the section "9.7 Stored Procedure and Function Support"
