Complete removal of some management packs? (not disable, but removal)

Hi all,
We are using Oracle Standard Edition 10g database.
As far as I know there are some options that don't belong in Standard Edition without proper licenses such as:
*Application Server Configuration and Diagnostics Pack
*Database Configuration
*Diagnostics and Tuning pack
Can you please point me to an document where it is described how these can be completely removed (not just disabled from EM Database Control -> Setup - Management packs) - thus removing all v$iews and pl/sql packages, etc...
Appreciate your help in advance!

Maybe there's a way to do this with Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) runInstaller. We ran into the same issue with completely removing plugins and this command satisfied our needs.
I have not tried this yet personally.

  • Exchange Server 2013 Management Pack - not reporting Operations Manager 2012

    Hi,
    We've installed the Exchange 2013 Management Pack into SCOM2012 but nothing seems to be reporting back. There nothing in Organization Status or Server Health.
    The Agent is installed on the Exchange Server. There are Event ID's on the Exchange server of 20070; 21006 & 21016
    The server itself is showing as Healthy under Agent Managed.
    Is there any other configuration that needs to be done on either SCOM or the Exchange Server?
    Thanks
    Stephen

    Hi Stephen, 
    Have you figured out how to get the management pack working on your environment?
    While I was doing some maintenance on exchange, I've restarted the server and then restarted SCOM monitoring agent service and it worked.
    I know that this isn't a fix but it's how to got it working...
    Hope this help

  • My IPAD is not disabled but I have forgotten the passcode to get in. How do I get it?

    My IPAD is not disabled but I have forgotten the passcode to get in. How do I get it?

    iOS: Device disabled after entering wrong passcode

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode
    http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/a/Iphone-Recovery-Mode.htm
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    I using mozilla firefox so long times but it just get problem today because i can't type in english words but i can type in thai and some buttons is not english but it's other alphbets that i can't read and it's happening with yahoo and friendster and not sure for other website
    == today ==

    Same problem with the mouse, but with the mouse I can leave the cursor in place in the text field and move to the keyboard to type. As long as the cursor is in the field it stays editable.
    The problem with the pen is it's in my hand all of the time. I just flip it up under my thumb against my palm to type. So, as soon as I move the pen, the field goes away and I can't type in it. Hoping this is making sense.
    My tablet does have the touch function too, and I just found out I can use my finger to tap in the text field, then type. I guess that'll be my solution since I prefer not to leave a mouse set up on this iMac.
    I'm thinking now that this is just a problem with the pen itself, and nothing to do with iPhoto. So glad to have this figured out! I really like iPhoto '11! So much easier for me, a simple P&S gal, than Aperture 3. I use iPhoto Library Manager too and love it!
    Thanks so much! Debbie

    Hi Shero89,
    Thanks for the answer.  I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet.  I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that.  Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software.  I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems.  One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.

  • AlwaysOn Management Pack not functioning - SCOM 2007R2

    Hi all
    I am a DBA but am new to SCOM and have been trying to get the AlwaysOn Management pack to work.  I manually installed some agents on the 2 boxes I want to manage and can see they are being monitored in the inventory.
    The management pack was already pre-installed by another employee but when I looked into the Administration > Management Packs and clicked on Import I could see that for that particular pack the AlwaysOn features were not installed.  Thinking this
    was the reason why it was not working I installed them.
    I can now see when I go to Discovered Inventory and Change Target Type the AlwaysOn components however they are not monitoring anything.  The only one with an entry is the AlwaysOn seed which shows the 2 boxes, but in a not monitored state.
    Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get this to work?
    Many thanks

    Is the SQL DBEngine discovered and do you see discovered databases on the server. I suspect you do as it seems to have discovered the Always On components but just want to check.
    Also have you enabled the Agent Proxy setting - Admininstration, Agent Managed, double click - security tab.
    Have you run through page 43 onwards from the guide:

  • F4140 not working. cant remove, software says it's not installed but then wont re-install

    The printer isn't working so I want to remove and re-install BUT the printer is not in Add/Remove Programs (I have XP).  I downloaded the complete install package and tried to uninstall it that way, but the unistall program says nothing is installed.  So I tried to install it but it says the software is already installed and doesn't install anything. I am really stuck this time.  I wish HP had a "cleaner" utility because obviously the registry or something is out of synch.  Please HELP!

    Hey there,
    Here is how you can uninstall using the scrubber that is built into the software. I included both options on how to access the scrubber. Just choose whatever option is easiest for you.
    Option 1: From Original installation CD:
    1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
    2. Open My Computer, and then right click on the CD drive and chose open
    3. Open folder Util
    4. Open folder CCC
    5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
    6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
    7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
    8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    9. Download the full feature software and drivers
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-64285-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
    Option 2: If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
    1. Type %temp% in the run field
    2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
    3. Open folder Util
    4. Open folder CCC
    5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
    6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
    7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
    8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player

  • Remote manager is not running but it is running as per DC

    I have installed remote manager on windows 2008 R2 server recently to create exchange mail boxes. And I followed the instructions given in oracle documentation while installing this remote manager.
    Windows 2008 server R2 is a 64 bit OS so installed 64 bit java version in it. OIM version is 9.1.0.
    As we are trying to SSL connection to the remote machince, imported certificates on both OIM server and also on remote machine.
    But when I try to provision exchange account for a user, the creation of mail box is getting failed at the task "CheckRemoteManager Connection" saying "Remote manager is not running". But in design console it says that the remote manager is running.
    Here is the response from the task:
    Response: Exchange remote manager not running
    Response Description: Check if Remote Manager parameters are entered correctly
    When I bypass the task "checkRemoterManager Connection" in the adatper "Create mail box" then I am getting the below error.

    Have you followed all the steps properly ?
    Have you imported Certificate as mentioned in the document ?
    Try with restarting the OIM Server
    Make sure your RM is running
    Try to telnet RM from OIM machine.

  • I have deleted podcasts in itunes, but how do I remove them completely from my 4s?  Not unsubscribe, but REMOVE, I have deleted podcasts in itunes, but how do I remove them completely from my 4s?  Not unsubscribe, but REMOVE

    OK, so I have gone into iTunes on my desktop computer and completely deleted podcasts that I no longer want.  I synced my phone (4S) but the podcasts are still showing on my phone.  I am already unsubscribed, but I want to totally DELETE them.  Why is this so hard?
    Also, why doesn't Apple bring back the right-click delete option in iTunes?

    Under "My Podcasts" swipe down to reveal a search bar, to the left will be an "EDIT" button. Press and delete the ones you want. I agree it's not very intuitive, should just be like any app, hold down and either move or delete.

  • Some images do not load, but only on certain browsers

    I have a really weird problem, I posted my web site and it appeared to work just fine with Safari, Explorer and Firefox. However, certain AOL browsers do not see some images. I can repeat the problem on the latest AOL client for Mac on two of my Macs here. My father inlaw says some of his friends cant see the images either (i am waiting for more info back from him, they all use Windows, so I think the problem is more than the Mac client).
    The problem only appears when you try to load a photo page, it just loads the background and not the pictures. All other images load OK on pages that are not photo pages, and as they are all '.PNG' I cant see what the difference would be.
    If anyone has a variety of browsers (especially AOL Mac) and can confirm this odd behaviour I would appreciate it. The page appears to complete loading, and doesn't show any broken links or errors - the pictures are just not there!
    The main area is http://www.david-andrews.com/Wedding/Intro.html
    If you select one of the wedding albums at the top of the above page then on certain browsers the images don't load. (I only found a problem with AOL on a Mac so far, but my father inlaw's friends don't have Macs). The Macs I tried both had Java script turned on etc.
    Thanks for your help, any advice greatly appreciated.

    Can't repeat the problem here.
    I saw a post from Quicktimekirk about punctuation in picture names. iWeb will have trouble with picture files if there is any kind of punctuation in the names. I would look up his posts and see what he's got to say about it.

  • FF5: Some sites will not load, but no error messages

    I'm using Firefox 5 on Windows Vista Home SP1.
    Since I upgraded to FF5, some sites either simply will not load. No error messages are given - the green circle icon in the tab just keep spinning.
    There's two pages that I visit daily that this happens to (though there are other pages).
    For the page http://diablo.incgamers.com, on the bottom left of the page it says "Read ssl.gstatic.com".
    The other page is http://www.jewelrydod.com but there's no message like the other page.
    Both of those sites load properly in Chrome and in IE.
    The pages also do not load in Firefox in Safe Mode.

  • Some numbers docs not opening but requesting app update

    As the picture shows, and the title suggests, when trying to open some docs in numbers I recieve a request to update the app.  No update is available.
    This is on both my iPhone 4s and iPad 3.  Both are running up to date software.  It also happens in pages too.
    I have iCloud work installed on my Win 7 laptop, and only noticed this since iCloud work was released just after ios8 was.
    I have reinstalled pages as well.  Any ideas what I can do here?
    Thanks!

    Really surprised there was no response from the community on that one, but not a big deal.  I just had to reset passwords all over the place. 
    But now I've got some other weirdness, possibly iCloud related.  I did a repair permissions and Pages was able to open docs from iCloud.  But now it's happening again.  I can't open from iCloud and I tried downloading from iCloud through  a browser but Pages still won't open the docs.  I decided to try signing out of iCloud and that just sucked up all processes, system ground to a halt while signing out was supposedly going on.  I had to force quit everythig else and still it didnt complete signing out.  I was able to restart
    But now i have to reauthenticate with iCloud and its another 15 minutes gettig everything back in sync.  This is miserable.  I was able to open a Pages doc finally.   :(

  • Time Machine: is it possible to leave some data on time machine, but remove it from my mac?

    At the moment I have around 60gb of photos on my 250gb macbook pro, which I have been told is slowing it down. I would love to have it somewhere safe away from my mac but I'm scared to use an external hard drive because of many horror stories I've heard.
    I'm currently in the process of backing up my photos online (snapfish), so when I do eventually man up and transfer them to a hard drive there will be a back up there, too.
    I have a WD My Book 1tb hard drive for mac that I use with time machine. However I was wondering whether I could keep using it for time machine, but delete the photos off my mac and  keep them on the hard drive only, somehow?
    If not, can anyone reccommend a relatively inexpensive external hard drive for mac (500gb-1tb) to store my photos? How do others back up important data, is it common to keep two hard drives?
    Thanks in advance.

    markwmsn is right.Time Machine is only a rolling backup system, not an archive system. If you have data that should never be deleted, do not rely on Time Machine because old data will be purged eventually.
    I am not sure why you feel Time Machine is safer than a "scary" external hard drive, since the Time Machine backup is on...an external hard drive.
    Here's what the professional photographers do, since their lives rely on not losing photos. At least two backups on external media, with at least one offsite. Having at least two exact copies of the photo archive is how photographers get around the very real fear of hard drive death. It means that you can survive the loss of both your original and one backup drive simultaneously, because there will still be one more backup out there. Because while hard drives do fail, there isn't any other type of backup media that's so easy and fast to update. So you use redundancy to mitigate any failures and then stop worrying about it.
    The other solution that is used is online storage through companies like Crashplan or Carbonite. They guarantee your data won't be deleted because they maintain redundant backups themselves.
    Of course you can combine hard drive and online cloud backups, and then your data can survive almost anything that doesn't take out civilization itself.
