Database accidently started with lower version binary.

We recently upgraded and patched a version 9206 database to 9208. However, after this was done the database was bounced and accidently started with the 9206 binary and it has been running this way for a couple of weeks. My fix is to shut the database down as 9206, reset the environment to 9208 and restart. Is that all I need to do? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Mike. Just to clarify. The database was a 9208 database at the end of the upgrade. The upgrade to 9208 completed successfully and then I applied the AprCPU2008 patch.
When we upgrade databases we install a brand new binary patched to the level we want to upgrade to. Then we open the database, in migrate mode, using the new binary and run the catpatch and utlrp. So for a short time I have both the 9208 and 9206 binaries available.
What happened is that the server the database was on, in a Veritas cluster, was patched the next day. The Veritas resource setting for startup had not yet been changed to use 9208, so when the database came back up after the server patching Veritas used the 9206 OracleHome and binary to start the database.
So is my fix. "Just shutdown the database using the 9206 binary change the database environment to use the 9208 binary and restart and be done with it." valid. So I really have a 9208 database that was started with a 9206 OracleHome. Hopefully that makes sense.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
My home and office have different version each.

Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

Capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac.

Knwoing the database was started with which pfile/spfile

hello to everyone,
Actually, a question that crossed my mind and I wondered if it's possible in Oracle.
For an already started database, is there a way to know the database was started with which pfile/spfile? Is there a view that tells this for example.
Many thnx.
H Hiruya

If spfile parameter is null, then you can look for a
pfile with the name convention of
init<ORACLE_SID>.ora.Yes, you can, but that won't tell you anything about which pfile was used to start the instance. I can just as easily type:
startup pfile=/my/pfile/that/does/not/conform/to/any/naming/standard
There's no way to definitively determine which pfile was used to start an instance.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Clients upgraded with CU3 still shown with lower version from SCCM console

Hello,
A couple of months ago, I upgraded all my clients with CU3.
As I still have about 2% of clients not shown as upgraded to CU3 when I look in the console, I started to investigate on client side. It appears those clients properly got the upgrade. From control panel, I can see the CU3 version is displayed.
Any idea why the version is not correctly reported from the console ?
Regards.

The client should provide that information after a heartbeat discovery. Could it be that those clients missed a few heartbeats? If so, trigger them and the information should update.

Log in as the root user
vi /etc/oratab
$ORACLE_SID are not allowed.
orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y
change the directory to /etc/init.d
Create a file called dbora, and copy the following lines into this file:
vi dbora
#! /bin/sh -x
# Change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the correct Oracle home
# directory for your installation.
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
# Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the
# oracle owner at your site.
ORACLE=oracle
PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
HOST=`hostname`
PLATFORM=`uname`
export ORACLE_HOME PATH
if [ ! "$2" = "ORA_DB" ] ; then
if [ "$PLATFORM" = "HP-UX" ] ; then
remsh $HOST -l $ORACLE -n "$0 $1 ORA_DB"

Change the group of the dbora file to the OSDBA group (typically dba), and set the permissions to 750:
# chgrp dba dbora
# chmod 750 dbora
Create symbolic links to the dbora script in the appropriate run-level script directories as follows.
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K01dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
after done these changes i restarted my system but the database is not started automatically.....

'Downgrade' iTunes - Library does not open with lower version

I am working with Vector Works 11.5 which requires Quicktime 6.5.1 (it also works with 7.4.3.1). I upgraded my iTunes to the latest version and Vector Works couldn't deal with it. I had to remove Quicktime and reinstall an older version to comply with my Vector Works.
The new version of iTunes obviously couldn't work with the older Quicktime and I installed an older iTunes as well.
My problem now is that I am not able to open iTunes, because the file iTunes Library.itl, which I assume to be the music library can not be read. Is there a way to 'downgrade' the whole setup or to reset the library? I've tried older libraries in the music folder, but that did not solve the problem.
Thanks for any help,
jessie

Rename the current library, open iTunes, and drag the folder containing the old library into the open iTunes window. This will not preserve ratings, playcounts, and other metadata.

Saving for Other Users with lower versions of Adobe

I have created a form using Adobe Designer 7 that I am sending to other users. These other users have a mix of older versions of Adobe (5 & 6) and less powerful versions (Reader and Standard). They have not been able to open the form, much less use it. How can I save my file so that they are able to open the form and use it?

Forms designed with Acrobat 6 and below are called "Acro Forms". Forms designed with Form Designer 6 and Acrobat Professional 7 's Form designer are "XFA forms".
Acro Forms will still be supported for some time, but the reality is that XFA forms will be what is used in all future releases. XFA forms do have advantages, such as XML, and data packages. Just take a look at the Designer. Much more simple than Acrobat.

TS3276 how do i rebuild the database when starting up Mail version 5.2?

Having real problems with Mail. Sent a large attachment earlier today which is now in a 'Recovered Message' folder. Since then I can't send or receive any emails from any account, ie BT Yahoo, via Mail, although I can do this from the internet at BT Yahoo. A friend suggested 'rebuilding the database' by holding down certain keys at launch of Mail. Will this work and if so what are the keys to hold down?
Many thanks

You can rebuild your mailbox by selecting the mailbox and then selecting the menu item "Mailbox >> Rebuild".
You can optimize your mailbox by "vacuuming" the databases too (huge improvement). Open Termina.app and use:
*/usr/bin/sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum*
Personally, I do it with AppleScript:
*tell application "System Events"*
*set mailIsRunning to (name of processes) contains "Mail"*
*end tell*
*if mailIsRunning then tell application "Mail" to quit*
*do shell script "/usr/bin/sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/'Envelope Index' vacuum"*
*if mailIsRunning then tell application "Mail" to activate*

Getting started with trial version of Adobe XI

I downloaded the trial version of Adobe XI. Once installed I attempted to convert a PDF document into a Word document by clicking on the "tools" as instructed in the tutorial. I then chose convert to "Microsoft Work" and clicked on "convert". A box then popped up asking me to purchase a year long subscription to be unlimited downloads. I don't want to make that purchase and the pop up box asking that I purchase the subscription will not go away nor and when I click on "convert" again, it does nothing.

What do you mean by "Adobe XI"?
You seem to be mixing up two entirely different ways to go from PDF to Word, because you have elements of both of them in your question.
