Database gets into hanging position

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 10G R2 on windows.Size of all the dbf file gets increase suddenly due to insertion of huge data. But size on disk gets full and my database gets into hang position. So someone please suggest me the solution for this ? Or how can i compress the datafiles?

This problem seems to be a fuzzy assumption. Oracle must have returned an error for any problem. What is your db's role for you and how much is it important. If you are using this for development purpose the I would suggest you to recreate db with more manageable design/options. eg keep autoextend off and purge unusable data regularly.

  • Need to get into Oracle 8i database and don't have credentials

    I need to get into an old Oracle 8i database running on Windows 2000 server. I have very limited experience with Oracle. No one who worked with this system is still employed by the company. I'm in the admin & Oracle DBA groups and have tried using
    sqlplus <username>/<password> as sysdba
    but I get TNS:protocol adaptor error. Oracle services are all running. If I could get in and export the data to a SQL Server machine, I'd be ok. Can anybody assist?
    Thank you!

    You must be using Remote Desktop of Mickeysoft to connect to the server.
    You need to start a cmd window and issue
    set local=<servicename in tnsnames.ora>
    sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    and this should work.

  • Now RAID BIOS Hangs-Can't get into it!!

    Folks - On a new build, the BIOS (v1.6) on my Neo4-F worked fine. I was trying to get Windows to not lose missing nt___ files. I kept deleting arrays and trying new array configs, reloading windows (yes, loading the RAID drivers with F6), but Windows still wouldn't load due to missing dll's.  Now when I set the RAID SATA settings in the BIOS, save & exit, on the reload it hangs at the Nvidia RAID ROM BIOS screen "Detecting array..." and won't go any further. So I have to power down, reset the CMOS to get the BIOS back.  If I go in and reset the SATA RAID drives, it'll do the same thing, otherwise if I don't set the RAID, it'll go on to load Windows as normal.  What happened and how can I get into the RAID BIOS again???  Thanks 

    Try having just one connected and boot . (do a cmos clear also ) .
    You can also leave the drive powered , and just insert/remove the sata cable when system is running .
    Just don't plug/unplug the HDs power connector while system is powered on.
    Sometimes the raid hangs if the drive order has been reversed (the raid mirror is confused whats drive #1) .So you should also try switching the drives on the connected sata ports .
     

  • Can not do many downloads, or get into many sites

    I can not get into yahoo email or facebook. I can not download Internet Explorer 9, Adobe Flash (newest one) and others. What is soooooooo wrong. Please help me I have been at this ALL day long.
    [email protected] is the only thing I can get into, I could not for hours, but finally got 2 where I could.

    Here's what you want to do.
    Upgrade iPhoto 11 to the latest version.
    Open the Library with it.
    Then open the Library with the latest version of Aperture.
    No importing as the latest versions of both apps can use the same Library.
    I noted this:
    We tried to update the library to iPhoto 11 on the new iMac, and that hangs. 
    Try rebuild the Library:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Now I've really done it.  I need help with iPhoto as I can't get into it at all.

    I sent a request earlier regarding my MacBook Pro.  I was trying to set up both computers so that I could network, mainly wanted to send my photos from the iMac (running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '08).  After some trials I got the two computers so that they appeared to be networked.  I set system preferences so that PICTURES was what would be shared between the iMac and the MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto '11).
    I had both computers set to recognize each other, the passwords worked, and I thought that was it until I was ready to move my photos from the iMac to the MacBook Pro.  Before I knew what was going on, the MacBook got busy on its own and informed me that it was busy and that iPhotos had to do some updating because the photos (which I then assumed were the ones on the iMac) were too old as they were.  It took some time, during which I noticed that when it got to the point of updating faces there were a couple of faces I didn't think I had seen in my MacBook photos.  I let it finish what it was doing.
    HERE IS MY PROBLEM:  When it finally got finished I couldn't see any new photos on the MacBook, so I went to the iMac to see what had been done there.  Big surprise!  When I went to open iPhotos I got the message "The iPhone Library is locked, on a locked disc, or you do not have permission to make a change to it."  No matter what I tried I couldn't get into it, so I don't know whether I have photos any more or not.  
    As luck would have it, my extended warranty for technical help expired in June 2011!

    Locked disk issue:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    When I close Firefox and then come back to it later a box comes up that says it's already running. It says to close Firefox first but when I hit close nothing happens and the box comes up again. I have to shut down my computer and restart to get into Firefox again. If I can't get this fixed I will start using someone else. Someone told me a way to close Firefox but I forgot what they said.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a couple of months ago

    Hello Brian.
    You don't need to restart your computer to open Firefox again: you just need to close it manually through your application manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC in Processes tab). Anyway, hopefully this support article is what you need:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs
    What's probably happening is that you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Getting session hang When calling Function from SQL query

    Hi All,
    I am using Oracle 8.1.7.4.0. I have a fucntion in a Package and I am calling it from the SQL query. When I am firing the query my oracle session is going to hang position and I am not able to any thing. I have to kill the session.
    But this same thing is working fine in Oracle 9.i.
    There are no out parameter and no DML, DDL and DCL statement in this fucntion.
    Could you please get back me what is the problem on it.
    Regards
    SUN

    Check why your session hangs.
    Just a few ideas:
    * Blocking locks?
    * Endless loop?
    * Performance (maybe it is just slow in orac8i and you have to wait a bit longer). Check the execution plans of the SQL statements in your function.
    * Don't use a function, but direct SQL, it is faster in both versions.

  • FI_GL LOAD GETTING INTO SHORTDUMP  "SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC"

    Hi Experts,
        We have FI_GL  DTP load from datasource PSA to  DSO, this was loading sucessfully till 25 of JUNE. From 28 th of June this load is getting into short dump "SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC"but surprisingly when i repeat this step the load getting successfull.  please let me know how can i stop this Shortdump in future.
    thanks in advance
    please see the below deatiled shortdump message.
    Runtime Errors         SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC
    Exception              CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
    Date and Time          07.07.2010 04:15:51
         Short text
              The ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert results in duplicate database records.
         What happened?
              Error in the ABAP Application Program
              The current ABAP program "SAPLSDDO" had to be terminated because it has
              come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
         What can you do?
              Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
              To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
              administrator.
              Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
              at and manage termination messages, and you can also
              keep them for a long time.
         Error analysis
              An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
              The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was not caught
               in
              procedure "DD_DTEL_SET_PUT" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
               clause.
              Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
              exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
              The reason for the exception is:
              If you use an ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert to insert a record in
              the database and that record already exists with the same key,
              this results in a termination.
              (With an ABAP/4 Open SQL single record insert in the same error
              situation, processing does not terminate, but SY-SUBRC is set to 4.)
         How to correct the error
              Use an ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert only if you are sure that none of
              the records passed already exists in the database.
              If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
              find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
              If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
              keywords:
              "SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC" "CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB"
              "SAPLSDDO" or "LSDDOU08"
              "DD_DTEL_SET_PUT"
              If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
              notification to SAP, include the following information:
              1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
                 To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
              (Unconverted)".
              2. Corresponding system log
                 Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
                 Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
              after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
              (Unconverted)".
              3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
              program: The source code of the program
                 In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
              Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
              4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
              actions and input led to the error.
              The exception must either be prevented, caught within proedure
              "DD_DTEL_SET_PUT" "(FUNCTION)", or its possible occurrence must be declared in
               the
              RAISING clause of the procedure.

    Hi,
    This error due to that you are inserting duplicate records into DSO Key fields.
    Check your record in PSA and remove duplicate reocrds from PSA and try to run transformation again or you need to change primary key of your DSO to fit PSA data.
    Thank you,

  • Depth buffering; getting the Z position of a point on a 3D triangle

    Greetings.
    I'm creating a 3D library (if that's what you call them) on my own, and this is all about:
    Defining the triangles with three Vector3D instances.
    Transforming them with the transform.matrix3D property of a Sprite instance.
    Calculating and assigning the w property of each Vector3D instance and project().
    Draw the triangles out with the Graphics instance, according to the x, y properties of the projected Vector3D instances.
    There they go, and I'm trying to use the depth buffering (or z buffering) to my library. According to the information I read and as I comprehend (including Wikipedia, results from Google search), depth buffering can solve the problems of intersecting polygons and triangles. And the algorithm works like this:
    For each polygon, calculate the Z position of each pixel it occupies after being rendered.
    Compare the current Z position of the pixel with the already existing one in the depth buffer.If the one in the buffer is larger than the current one (that is, the current one being nearer to the viewer) then replace the pixel (color) of that in the depth buffer with the current pixel.
    Draw the pixels out.
    Please point out any mistake I made in the my-way-of understanding how the depth buffering works, thank you.
    I'm now having problem about the "calculating the Z position" of each pixel.
    As three points define a plane, I tried using this algorithm by Paul Brouke and then get the Z position with X and Y positions, along with a, b, c, and d parameters previously calculated with the three Vector3D instances that define a triangle, by this simple calculation:
    z = (-ax-by-d) / c
    But it did not work. Instead, the triangles were distorted.
    Is there any other rather simple way to get depth buffering working? If yes, I appreciate usages of simple words to explain simple codes. If not, then... I hope you can help me in some way.
    Thanks again.

  • Changed my AD password now cant get into enable !!!

    Hi
    Changed my AD password and now i cannot get into the enable side of the cisco switches on our network (we have no routers).
    Looking on the logs for the ACS v4.2 I can see the following -
    On TACACS+ Accounting you can see the connections which have worked - it the initial tty connections -
    When i look in the failed attempts i see the following -
    Auth failed -  External  DB user invalid or bad password  or on another occasion internal error
    or EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed due to unknown CAcertificate during SSL handshake.
    Anyone seen this before ?
    Steve

    Steve,
    Just out of curiosity can you verify your user account in ACS and make sure that the enable password is set to use external database?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to the bing website and reset related user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • Can't get into text application (Curve 8520)

    Hi. When I use the trackball to highlight the text icon and then press the it to open the application, all that happens is that the trackball stops working until I press the red "hang up" button. In any case I can't get into my texts. Any ideas?
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Good luck!

  • Newbie question - Is it worth getting into SAP ?

    Seeing as this is still the only forum where a "Post New Thread" button is locatable, here's my opening question.
    I understand it takes study, certification and some years of experience to become a sought-after commodity in SAP.
    As an underpaid (never above $A40K) and under-employed IT worker over the past ten years, I've noticed that every time a SAP job is advertised, the salary is quite impressive. The most recent position, for a SAP Consultant, offered $A120K.
    To those of you who have been SAPping for a few years :
    Are you and your skills in demand in the job marketplace ?
    Do you receive reasonable or high pay ?
    What combination of study and experience (and connections ?) did it take to reach your current position ?
    For someone with broad IT experience, do you consider SAP worth getting into and, if so, by what route do you recommend entry ?
    That'll do for a start

    hi andrew,
    Are you and your skills in demand in the job marketplace ?
    Yes, SAP is hot these days, and will be for some years to come.
    Do you receive reasonable or high pay ?
    When compared to other fields and technical domains, the answer is yes.
    What combination of study and experience (and connections ?) did it take to reach your current position ?
    You need to have reasonable amount of IT exposure (which you have....!!!!) and a working expeirence in the functional domain is a must to rise. Technical expertise would boost your career great guns. Though after 2- 4 years in SAP , it is preferable to be a functional guy.
    For someone with broad IT experience, do you consider SAP worth getting into and, if so, by what route do you recommend entry ?
    Yes, it depends upon your type of IT experience. IF you have a good functional experience (say in domains like manufacturing, sales, or finance) pick up  a functional module study hard go for certification, and you are there in SAP world.
    With technical expertise you  need to have good ABAP knowledge, and with netweaver these days JAVA would also do, but with SAP having abap knowledge always helps.
    Same route here, study hard and go for certification and gian hands on experience.....and you are there to rock...!!!!
    Hope this answers your questions, Do reward
