Database growing and weird attributes appearing

Hello.
Our SunOne 5.2 DS database is expanding.
I ran an Export Database task from console and I see attributes like:
modifyTimestamp;adcsn-43218888000000020002;vucsn-43218888000000020002: 2005090

I have never seen names like these before.
But where might they be coming from. Apart from the PKI schema, this is a plain vanilla Directory server install on Solaris.
What worries me is the ;deleted attributes as they are filling up the database... how can they be removed automatically? (and why arent they?)
Any hints welcomed.

In a single-server scenario you will never have the old values and deleted attributes. Once you activate replication, the server starts keeping those values for as long as the changelog maxage (this aids in being able to restore other servers from backup or who were done for some period of time). Unfortunately the changelog maxage defaults to unlimited, so entries can grow very big, especially if there are multi-valued attributes.
I recommend that sites should consider setting
nsslapd-changelogmaxage under cn=changelog5,cn=config
to somewhere from 4-7 days depending on your space/recovery needs.
You will need to export/import if you want to reduce your database size.

SpamAssassin's AWL database growing and growing

I know that this is a known problem, but maybe someone has found a solution in the meantime that did not came to my attention:
I'm using the auto whitelist feature of SpamAssassin. Unfortunately I'm forced to erase the entire database from time to time, since there seems to be no auto maintenance - it grows and grows (reaches quickly 20 MB+).
Is there a way to search the AWL list for e-mail addresses used only one or two times and remove exactly these ?

Custom Search Form and custom attribute picklist?

I have a custom item type which has a custom attribute NAICS_Code. The NAICS codes are stored in a database table and the attribute is set to a list of values that is a query on that table. The attribute is associated with a custom item type as a text attribute.
Now, when I add the custom item type to a page, the NAICS Code field is a popup selector, as expected.
On a Portal page, I have the Custom Search Portlet that searches another page that contains the custom item type.
On the Custom Search Portlet, I can add the NAICS Code as an additional attribute, but the search field is a plain text box and NOT a pick list of any kind.
Can I configure the Custom Search Portlet to use associated LOVs with filter by attributes?

I'm afraid that in the version of portal you are using we don't render LOVs for LOV attributes on the search portlet.
In 10.1.2 attributes are added to the search form using a More Attributes button which simply render an empty row for the attribute details to be filled in.
In 10.1.4 this was improved considerably. Now attributes are added to the search form like they are added in the edit defaults, with a Choose Attributes link which opens a popup to select the attributes. On closing the popup the search form is re-rendered and any LOV attributes will be rendered with a combo box of available values to select from.

How to force simple tags and null attributes to appear when using SQL/XML?

Hello everybody:
I'm developing a non-schema based XMLType view.
When the XML document is generated, i noticed two things I need to manage in order to achieve the desired result:
1. Oracle generates a <tag></tag> pair for each XMLELEMENT defined; in my case, some tags need to appear as <tag/>... how do I do? Is it possible when using schema based XMLType views? Is it possible while using a non-schema approach?
2. When using XMLATTRIBUTE('' AS "attribute") or XMLATTRIBUTE(NULL AS "attribute"), no one attribute with label "attribute" and null value appears at the output; how do I force to Oracle DB to render those attributes which are with no values (needed to render those attributes as another parsing code will await for all the items)?
3. Some tip about how to route the output to an XML text disk file will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello odie_63, thanks for your reply:
Reasons why needed single tags are these two next: Needed to generate a single XML file from 50,000,000 rows, where the XML ouput matches not only row data but another default values for another elements and attributes (not from database but using strings and types with default values); by using start and end tag, the generated file is as much twice bigger than using single tags; second, needed a very precise presentation for all the document.
For generating that document, currently focus is based on using a batch process relying on Spring Batch with using a single JDBC query where a join happens between two tables. From my point of view, that approach uses: database resources, network resources, disk resources, and processing resources, including the price of making the join, sending to network, creating objects, validating, and making the file (Expending too much time generating that XML file). That processs currently is in development.
I think possibly another approach is delegating the complete generation of that file to the database using its XML capabilities. My current approach following your recomendations is to generate a clob where I will put all the XML and putting it into a table. It leads me to another issues: Considering limitations on memory, processing and disk space, needed to append a single row-as-xml into the clob as soon as possible, and putting the clob inside the field as soon as possible, or putting the clob inside the field, and appending into it as the data is generated; so How do I manage the process in order to achieve that goals?. Seen these issues aren't related to my original question, so I'll open a new post. Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks again in advance.

IPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos. If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly. I have not updated to Yosemite. I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines.

iPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos. If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly and disappear. I have not updated to Yosemite - I am still running Mavericks on an iMac. I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines. I uploaded photos and movies three days ago and all was well. Then I used the migration assistant to copy from Time Machine to a new Macbook Air and noticed blank photos. I thought it was a problem with the Macbook Air, but then I went back to the iMac to check and they were all blank as well.

what does appear after the photo "flashes"?
Have you repaired permissions? If not backup your iPhoto library and option-command launch and repair permissions - then repair the database and if needed rebuild the database
If that does not do it down iPhoto Library Manager on the iMac and use the free trial's rebuild command to create a totally new library leaving the existing one alone
Once you have the iMac working correctly then connect the two systems together (or use an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and drag the iPhoto library form the iMac to the pictures folder of the MBA (rather than migration assistant)

Current Open Cursors Count growing and growing

Current Open Cursors Count appears to be a cumulative count and always growing since instance is started.
Warning threshold of 1200 occurs quickly and regular warnings appears on OEM.
(Oracle 10.1.0.4 on RHEL4AS Linux fresh install)
The value reported on OEM correspond to:
select name,value from v$sysstat where name like '%cursors current%';
result: opened cursors current 194209
Current open cursors are not
select count(*) from v$open_cursor;
which returns a more reasonable value: 293
Any ideas about that ?
Nicolas

i have a tar opened on this .. its a bug with the database.
After finding the query that OEM runs against the db, you
will find that the stats the db is gathering at the database level are wrong .. they are cumulative. So until they patch the db, the metric in OEM is useless. Remove the warning/critical levels in the manage metric screen.
NOTE: they dont use v$open_cursors .. that would be to easy :-)

Reverse database mirroring - and is this the right approach?

Here is my scenario. I have 2 database servers, P and M, to serve our production website. P = Principal; M = Mirror.
After some time my Principal crashes. No problem, I've got M, it's been synchronizing, and it has all latest data. So I repoint my production web server to hit the Mirror. Still, all is good.
Now comes the part where I'm fuzzy, and I need to know if my understanding is correct...
The Principal comes back online, but my website is still pointing at the Mirror. I want to repoint the site back to Principal. But P now has old data. Maybe it's been down 3 days and M has 100,000 new records that don't exist in P. When P came back online,
did transaction logs begin shipping from M to P to get P back in sync? Would it do that if a Witness were in place? How does P get caught up with all latest data? Do I have to do a full backup and restore from M to P? Is there a way this can be set up to just
gracefully (or even easy manual) get P updated and synced? Can the Principal/Mirror roles be easily swapped between the 2 servers? Does that happen automatically with a Witness in place?
Thanks in advance for any help.

First, mirroring is being removed for "AlwaysOn" technology. I would not recommend using it in SQL 2012. However, if you are talking about prior versions, then...
When the failover occurs, the old mirror, now primary, attempts to send updates back to the old principal, now mirror. This is completely automatic and requires nothing manual to happen.
However, if the now mirror is down for a long period of time, the transaction log on the principal will continue to grow and grow until it is able to deliver the transactions to the mirror.
You can setup your website with a "Failover Partner=" in the connection string and the failover/failback will be completely invisible to your application.

Can I have an iTunes Library on an external HD, and have it appear under 'Shared' so I can use two library's at once?

Hey guys, here's a weird one - I have a large library on my macbook for my DJ music. Now I want to convert all my old albums to AIFF for listening purposes, and not DJing, so I don't want to cram them all into the lappy HD.
I have a NAS, which shows up as a 'Shared' Library. Can I create a library on an external Thunderbolt portable HD and have it do the same? Or will that only work on Network HD's.
I know the trick to hold Option and select your library at startup for multiple librarys, however I want to use them both at once.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply.
Basically, I want to plug in an external HD, and have it appear under 'Shared' Libraries, just like what happens when I'm connected to my NAS Server. If this is possible, of course.

File and boolean attribute on item

Hi,
I work with Oracle9iAS Portal PL/SQL API (9.0.2.6).
I define an item type (CAID = 213/ ID = 37399) with several attributes. When I try to create/modify an item I have problems with boolean attributes and file attributes.
In case of boolean attributes, I'm not able to set the value to true. I try with several values (IS_ON, True, 1) but the attribute is still set to false. Is there anything wrong with the value I assign to the attribute before creating the item ? When I try to create the item and then modifying the attribute, the value stay to false.
For the file attributes, I use the upload_blob function inside wwsbr_api and the file appear in the wwdoc_document table. I set the file attribute value with the return value of the upload_blob function.
When I call the add_item_post_upload, an error occurs (ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.NullPointerException : -29532)
Is this a bug or not ?
Thanks Eddy.

Hi Eddy:
On Friday, we put in a TAR with Oracle support about the identical problem. When editing an item using the API, the boolean attributes always reset. The values of the boolean attributes aren't even being changed. The only reason we need to set them again is the limitation of the API where you have to feed all attributes back in.
So far, Oracle has said it sounds like a bug and they want to know the exact sequence of steps to repeat it.

EAV modelling approach on database tables and how to use it in Forms Dvl

Hello,
I am dealing with two tables in data modell which are structured on EAV ( Entity-Attribute-Value ) modelling approach.
Survey( Survey# number not null,
Start_Date_Of_Survey date not null ,
End_Date_Of_Survey date null,
Sts_Of_Survey varchar2( 4 ) not null ,
Contractor_Partner# number not null, -- reference foreign key, to Partner's Table
Survey_Report CLOB ) ;
Survey# primary key of Survey.
Meta_Survey_Parameter_Register( Parameter# varchar2( 40 ) not null,
Additional_Parameter_Desc varchar2( 240 ) null,
Type_Of_Value varchar2( 60 ) not null,
Data_Type varchar2( 10 ) not null,
Unit varchar2( 10 ) null,
High_Value varchar2( 20 ) null,
Low_Value varchar2( 20 ) null );
Type_Of_Value Is restricted to : ATOMIC_VALUE, INTERVAL_VALUE_FROM_TO
Data_Type is restricted to: Date, time, number( X,Y ), varchar2,
Unit is varchar2 value not resstricted: for example: %, kg as kilo, m as meter, m/s as meter per second, null
This table is meta table so it suppose to be used as some register - static part of the schema.
Then I have table which attaches Parameters to the Survey as the association table
Survey_Parameters( Survey#, Parameter#, Value, Comment );
Primary key( Survey#, Parameter# );
I need to implement this in Forms and Reports.
My question is how to implement it to maximally make good use of Oracle forms 10g or 11g features and Oracle Reports 10g:
a) when fulfilling the survey and use of parsing rules supplied in Meta_Survey_Parameter_Register
b) at the producing as the survey report with reports
c) in data analyisis in data warehouse impementations.

Hello Craig,
Thank you Craig for your answer.
I must confess that I am also not familiar with EAV theoretical background and concept. Till recently I even did not know that this kind of problem could be placed
in theoretical background called EAV. This put smile nad releive on my mind. Because since this moment I do not feel this kind of problem as some exception or
some exceptional tools or data design ( object modelling and object databases ) suppose to be used. This way I can still counted on concepts in RDBMS databases
and applications. Well I guess so.
Let me comment and answer on your text between your lines.
I am only conceptually familiar with EAV modeling, so I don't claim to be an expert! ;-) Given the abstract way in which data is stored with EAV, I would suggest that you first create a SQL Query that will produce the desired record set.
Ok. But I guess you have in mind to transform vertical set of values to horizontal ( pivoting, transposing )?
View has cast operator that transform data type of each parameter from general ( e.g. varchar2 ) to the one that is registered in the
Meta_Parameter_Register. This way it is provided to get the survey with the list of assigned parameters in horizontal shape?
Once you have this, you can either use the Query as the source of a Database View and then base your Forms data block on this view or you can use the query in a Procedure and base your Forms data block on the procedure or lastely, you could use the query directly and base your Forms data block on the query using the "From Clause" option.
Ok, I think I understand it.
So When I have horizontal list there is challenge during
- insert
- delete
- update
operations how to handle these operations to transform to vertical operation.
This could only be done with Forms data block based on procedure and instead of triggers?
The simplest option would be to create a DB view and base your block on the view. You will not be able to update the data however. If you need to be able to change or add new data, I would suggest you use a Procedure based block. Take a look at these links for additional information on using Procedure and From Clause based blocks.
Ok Craig, sounds like it makes sense.
IT seems your suggestion is caling for some simpler example with the same characteristic of the problem.
Like two tables:
Master( Master#, ..... )
Detail( Master#, Detail#, value_low_or_just_value, value_high, data_type )
Forms: How to base a block on a FROM clause Query
Forms: How to base a data block on a Procedure
Ok,
Hope this helps,
I see your point and it makes sense , it is only the challenge to see how much of flexibility I can reach and how cheap workarounds are to preserve
the level of flexibility in the tools that are not naturally supporting EAV ( like forms and reports ).
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.
Sure...
We are on the line.
I am sure there is someone else in the community that experienced this kind of challenge.

Iphone 4s won't boot on and itunes doens't detect it when on battery. Plug it in and Apple logo appear then disappear, try to recover, but there's a 1602 error. Is it dead?

Iphone 4s won't boot on and itunes doens't detect it when on battery. Plug it in and Apple logo appear then disappear, try to recover, but there's a 1602 error. Is it dead?

Its weird, when I plug it into wall AC, I was able to boot into the home screen, but there's wifi cant turn on. Plug out the phone turn off immediately. I tried to jailbreak it with snowbreeze because someone has the same problem with his iphone 4, but snowbreeze doens't work with iphone 4s.

How can I use database constraints in entity attribute validation rules

I am interested in using database constraints to validate attributes in entity objects.
I would like to implement a JboValidatorInterface in a way that I can use an operator like "GreaterOrEqualTo" to compare with values retrieved from the database for a column associated with an entity object attribute.
I have used this pattern with success in other environments, where the user community decides the minimum value for a thing should change from x to y, and simply changing a database object also changes the validation methods of all applications which access it.
I am not certain that column constraints are the appropriate vehicle, but so far that seems to be the case.
I see that you can create a validation rule which makes comparisons against a view object attribute. I am wondering if there is a generic way to use standardized names for column constraints along with ADF hooks into properties of database columns, to avoid writing individual queries for each attribute.
Thanks in advance!!!

Jeffrey,
If you already have constraints on the underlying tables, why do you need to validate them in ADF BC? You can certainly use some framework extension classes to give the user nicely formatted error messages - see ER: ADF BC - allow custom error msgs for common exceptions (e.g. DML) for more details.
I am using this method so that anything that is enforced in the database (check constraints, foreign keys, unique constraints, etc) are not enforced in the ADF BC layer as well - after all, there's more than one way to get data into a table, and DB constraints ensure that even if data gets in through another mechanism (apart from the ADF application), it is valid. My 2 cents, of course.
Hope this helps,
John

Running Oracle database 10g and 11g on same 5 RAC nodes

Hello Gurus,
Could any body throw light if I can install and sucessfully run Oracle database 10g and 11g on the same Oracle RAC installation setup.My setup is below
Number of nodes-5
OS- windows 2003 or RHEL5
storage- DELL EMC SAN
Clusterware- oracle version11g
File system-Automatic storage management(ASM)
After I successfully setup clusterware,ASM on the nodes,I would want to install 11g database on all 5 nodes .
Then Install 10g database on only 3 of the nodes using the same clusterware.
What are your views on the same.
Also FYI... as per metalink node 220970.1(RAC: Frequently Asked Questions) one can do such a setup.
what iam looking for is practical experience if anyone has implemented this in production system,if yes any issues faced and how tough it is to support.
Thanks,
Imtiyaz

You could run an 11g database and 10g database on the same cluster as long as you use Clusterware 11g.
The administration aspect will drastically change according to the platform you run on. As of now, it appears you don't know whether it will be Linux or Windows.
It would be practical to support the same database release.
