Database layout crashes appleworks

good morning. I am using AW 6.2.9 on an iBook G4 w/ OS 10.4.11.
In one of my databases, one layout crashes the program whenever I try to view it in layout mode. I can see in it Browse, and I can see every other layout in both browse and layout. Obviously, it worked at when I first created the layout, so I'm not sure what happened. I've tried creating a new duplicate layout, but it crashes too (but not a new blank one). So other than recreating the whole layout from scratch, can anyone advise why this might be happening and how it can be resolved. Thanks!

Have you added any objects to the layout? The layout editing mode is actually a draw environment & it's possible an added object is corrupt. I don't know how you would be able to delete objects if you can't view it, so I think you might have to recreate it. One thing to try, before going through that, is to save the database as an AppleWorks 5 document & then open this AppleWorks 5 document in AppleWorks 6. There is the slight possibility that this will strip the corruption. You do not need to have AppleWorks 5 to do this.

Planning Layout crashes when another excel is open

Hi All,
The planning layout crashes when another excel sheet is open other than BPS layout. It gives me following type of error:
In the initialization phase of the planning function you selected, the system found settings, which could possibly lead to problems and which are not immediately obvious. For example, it could be that the current selection conditions do not match the settings of a data slice.
Have anybody encountered this type of error before? Please reply ASAP as this is very critical issue being faced by the users.

We follow up this issue with SAP and we got following reply from them:
it is a general problem from Excel, to be unable to work properly in
2 or more instances in parallel. The problem was already discussed with
Microsoft - the result was that there exist no solution for that. The
problem is a restriction due to the OLE functionality from Microsoft.
More information about you can find in note 176642.
My suggestions:
- Do not use Excel if you are using TA BPS0.
- Could you change the layout from Excel to ALV-Grid?
- It is possible to use Office Web Component (OWC)?
- Create a web interface based application using OWC in BPS_WB.
- see note 632333
Unfortunately I am not able to give you more support in this case - we
have no influence on the Excel Instance - it is an Microsoft issue.

Database Sudden Crash

Hi All,
My DB Version: 10.2.0
OS Version: Windows Server 2003
During Normal Working Suddenly DB Crash and the error in log file is like that
Errors in file c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\tsi\bdump\tsi_dbw0_7608.trc:
ORA-01242: data file suffered media failure: database in NOARCHIVELOG mode

OSD-04008: WriteFile() failure, unable to write to file
O/S-Error: (OS 33) The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.
Can anyone tell me what is the reason of this happening.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/intro008.htm#sthref96 explains why an I/O error triggers an database instance crash in your case:
>
If the instance cannot write to a datafile other than those in the preceding list, then the result depends on whether the database is running in ARCHIVELOG mode or not.
In ARCHIVELOG mode, the database records an error in the database writer trace file and takes the affected datafile offline. (All other datafiles in the tablespace containing this datafile remain online.) You can then rectify the underlying problem and restore and recover the affected tablespace.
In NOARCHIVELOG mode, the database writer background process DBWR fails, and the instance fails, the cause of the problem determines the required response. If the problem is temporary (for example, a disk controller was powered off), then crash recovery usually can be performed using the online redo log files. In such situations, the instance can be restarted without resorting to media recovery. However, if a datafile is damaged, then you must restore a consistent backup of the entire database.

I'm not sure that is hardware related: maybe you have an anti virus executable reading this database file ?

Help!! database keeps crashing

I've been working on this problem for 4 months. The database keeps crashing randomly. Sometimes it would not produce any error in the alert log and sometimes it would give me multiple ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [ACCESS_VIOLATION] [unable_to_trans_pc] [PC:0x77FCB491] [ADDR:0x38] [UNABLE_TO_WRITE] [].
I'm starting to think it is backup exec 11d using rman that is causing the problem. I also heard that running rman with backup exec can strain the database.
What else can I look at?
Is ADDM a good method to use to diagnostic this problem and how do i access it?

Refer to Metalink note 466370.1.
Snippet:Symptoms
These errors were encountered and the DB crashed.:
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [ACCESS_VIOLATION] [unable_to_trans_pc]
[PC:0x7C34126B] [ADDR:0x0] [UNABLE_TO_WRITE] []
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:CreateThread failed with status: 8
ORA-27301: OS failure message: Not enough storage is available to process this command.
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: ssthrddcr.
You may observe this in the trace file.:
"Current SQL information unavailable - no SGA."
Changes
This could be triggered by hardware issues or an increase in volume or by day to day operations.
Cause
Insufficient memory
Solution
Ensure that the existing memory is functioning properly.
If there is no hardware issue, then you have simply run out of available memory and you need to purchase more.
Check your OS log for hardware errors.

Thanks guys. I'm still trying to learn the programs mentioned. For a person who knows nothing about databases FileMaker was pretty easy to work with. The downside was that it doesn't work with images so well. I was thinking of testing Smart Catalog an extension for InDesign by WoodWing next. Or maybe XCatalog or InCatalog. I'm not too sure Portfolio is right for me, it's great if I wanted to catalog my products with metadata - like a inventory list - but I don't. I want to take the product information from a access/excell file, import it into some type of a catalog program where i can design the layout then save the file as a PDF so I can send it to get professionally printed.
The extension for InDesign might be my best bet, especially since I'm a tad familiar with it. Or Quark, I haven't tried it yet but it seems promising. Thanks for all the suggestions - I'd be lost without all your help.

Database instance crashes when running expdp

Hi,
I have oracle 10.2.0.4 running on AIX.
when i try to run expdp as below...
expdp system/pwd directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR2 tables=TOAD_PLAN_TABLE dumpfile=test.dmp
i get an error as..
UDE-00008: operation generated ORACLE error 22303
OCI-22303: type "SYS"."KU$_STATUS1020" not found
and the database instance crashes.
I tried increasing the shared_memory_pool, checking the read, write permissions on the directory. but every single time i run the expdp, the instance crashes.
But when i try to run the exp for the same table, it runs fine.
Can someone help me resolve this so i can use the expdp feature.
Thanks.
Philip.

I could not find anything proper w.r.t the datapump failure.
is there a package or something i need to install in the database for the expdp to work.
or do i have to install any libraries for the datapump to work.
Thanks.

Mimic Database/Server crash

Guys,
What is the best way to mimic Database/Server crash to test the backup and recovery strategy?
Thanks

Unplug the server. I'm not joking, that's the way I do it on my laptop (on which I installed Oracle). If you want a more elegant way, a "shutdown abort" is exactly like an instance crash.

Proper database layout

I'm looking for some advice on setting up a database with regards to the log files and data files. I come from a SQL Server background and figure some of the basic ideas will follow across to Oracle.
In SQL Server, I would create two partitions on the system, a RAID 1 for my operating system, SQL Server 2005, the master database, and the log files for my user databases. The second would be a RAID 5 partition for the data files for my user databases and nothing more. I assume this is what you'd do in Oracle as well. Is that accurate?
Also, is there a database/schema in Oracle similar to the master database in SQL Server? Is it advisable to move that off to a faster partition in Oracle as it is in SQL Server?
Any information regarding best practices for database layout is greatly appreciated.

the master database in SQL Server is nothing but the SYSTEM tablespace in Oracle which contains all the dictionary and all other database related information. Going with LOCAL MANAGED TABLESPACE and with SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO are best for automatic management of space. Users tablespace must be created separate from SYSTEM tablespace to relieve contention in database.

Translating Microsoft Works 4.5 Database Files to Appleworks 6 format

Hi,
Having recently moved to Mac from Windows I am trying to transfer files from my old machine to my Mac mini. As I have thousands of files in Window format that I hope to use on my Mac I spent the money to purchase a copy of MacLinkPlus V. 15.
Happily when I attempted to translate word processing files created in Word 97 to Appleworks 6.2.9 all went well. But when I attempted to translate database files created in Microsoft Works 4.5 I ran into trouble!
To whit, after "adding" the MS Works database file to MacLink Plus I click on translate but when the translation settings window open there is no AppleWorks 6 database file format to select. I tried selecting AppleWorks 2.1, 3.0 but after the translation is done there is just a bunch of disorganized text in the destination file.
Given that the program claims to support MS Works 4.5 I was at a loss as to why this was happening so I contacted the MacLinkPlus help desk to find out what I should do. Initially they said that MacLinkPlus does not support Microsoft Works 4.5 file translation. But when I checked the link they supplied to supported formats Microsoft Works 4.5 database files were clearly shown as being fully supported.
When I pointed this out to them they next asked if I was sure I had Appleworks on my computer..... What can one say to a question like that, especially when it is asked in broken English?
Does anyone out there have any idea what is going on here? Is there a way to get MacLinkPlus to do what the company says it will do, i.e. translate my Microsoft Works database files to Appleworks 6 format? If not, what would folks suggest as a work around method of getting these database files into the Appleworks 6 database?
Thanks,
Winston
PS For anyone interested in the quality of support at MacLinkPlus I offer the following message I recieved from their Help Desk:
"MacLinkPlus only support AppleWorks 6 for word processing or spreadsheet files. Because you are dealing with a database file you are only able to choose from those formats. To see the full list of file formats that MacLinkPlus supports, please view this page:"
http://www.dataviz.com/products/maclinkplus/mlp_xlators.html
Note: When I clicked on the above link this is what I found:
DOS and Windows Database Formats
ClarisWorks 1.0, 3.x, 4.0
Comma Separated Values (Write only)
dBase (DBF) II, III, IV
FoxBASE/FoxPro
MS Works for Windows 2.0, 3.0, 4.5, 95
Tab Text (Write only)
WordPerfect Works 2.0

Thanks for the tips I guess that I will try to export the database files in tab delimited format and paste them into a database that I create in Appleworks 6. I can't say that I am looking forward to this, but it would appear I have no choice.
At this point in time I would have to say that my foray into the Mac World has been a most unpleasant experience. In truth when you add this difficulty to the many others I've had with my Mac I have had more computer problems in the past 3 months than in the prior 8 years with Windows.
By the way, I heard back from MacLinkPlus today and they had this to say:
Hi Winston,
The reason you don't have AppleWorks 6 listed as an option in MacLinkPlus, is because when it comes to Databases, MaclinkPlus only supports these formats:
AppleWorks 5.0
AppleWorks 6.0 (Read Only)
ClarisWorks 1.0, 2.x, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0
Excel 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 98, 2001, X, 2004
MS Works 2.0, 3.0, 4.0
SYLK (Read Only)
AppleWorks (Apple II) 2.1, 3.0
So, it is not going to give you AppleWorks 6 as an option because when Dealing with Database files, AppleWorks 6 isnot supported.
So what you can do, is choose either AppleWorks 2 or 3, convert the file.
Then try to use AppleWorks 6 to open it with.
AppleWorks 6 may not recognize such an old file though.
Here is my reply:
Dear Annya,
I must admit that I am still confused regarding all this. In your most recent e-mail you say that MacLinkPlus does not recognise Microsoft Works 4.5 database files but on your website it says that it does.
I tried your work around and Appleworks 6 refused to open the database file translated into Appleworks 2, 3 so it would now appear that I am not going to be able to use MacLinkPlus to translate the files.
While your offer for a refund on the MacLinkPlus was appreciated, I am out a great deal more than the purchase price of MacLinkPlus because of this. Simply put I would never have purchased my Mac mini computer in the first place if my visit to your website had not left me confident that your software would allow me access to my old database files.
To say that I am dissappointed would be quite an understatement and I certainly hope that your company rewrites the material on its own website in an effort to make clear that MacLinkPlus can not translate Microsoft Works database files.
In the mean time, know anybody looking for an almost brand new MacIntosh computer?
With regrets,
Winston

Database Connection Crash after using PFCG

When I modify a profile in the PFCG, and then Save and Generate the authorizations SOMETIMES I lose the connection with the Dabatase, and its crash, then I have to restart the SAP instance or use the startdb command.
My database is DB2 v9.5 with the latest Fixpack (FP4SAP) in a HP-UX 11.23 platform.
I also have another 2 instances in the same server, but I think that arent the problem because if I stop them, the error persist
The error that SAP tells me is:
<SID>: SAP System Message
Connection with database lost, session terminated
Please help me with this issue,
If someone need more info to help me, please ask for it.
Thanks in advance.
Sebastian Succini

Hello Sebastian,
As previously suggested you can check the db2diag.log, found in the DIAGPATH dbm cfg parameter, for entries during the timeframe when the crash occurs. Also check your syslog for any errors during that time. This will give you some indication for a possible cause of the crash. If your database is crashing you should open a Customer Message with SAP. This needs further investigation that is beyond the scope of this Forum.

Adam

Can't get rid of border in database layout

I am creating labels from a database for the Cub Scouts. The database field is surrounded by a thin black border. I can change the thickness of the border, but I cannot get rid of it with the "no line" option. Is it possible?
Appleworks 6.2.9; label has gradient background; font color black.

Dalgor2 wrote:
It turns out that the layout mode puts a border in but that border disappears when in browse mode. I wish they didn't do that as it is confusing, but all is right with the world.
The border around field frames in Layout is to let you see where they are, a very useful feature. The same borders also appear in Browse for individual fields when you place the insertion point in the field. This is also useful, as it initially shows what part of the field contents will be visible when the insertion point is NOT in the field.

How to improve the printing quality of pictures, printing a database layout

I have a database that contains also pictures in multimedia containers. If I print a layout containing a picture, the quality of the picture is really bad! Pixeled with big pixels.
Is there a possibility to get better prints?
The pictures are JPEGs of reasonable size.
The picture in the layout on the screen looks MUCH better.
Printing to an PDF and viewing this on the screen is equally bad.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm guessing that your images are JPEGs. AppleWorks changes the resolution of all graphic formats except PICT to 72 dpi. There are a couple of things you can do improve the print quality of images.
1. Turn on Fractional Character widths in Preferences > General > Topic: Text. This is a text setting, but it does improve the print quality of images.
2. Open the image in Preview or GraphicConverter & Save As... a PICT to use in AppleWorks.
PICT is generally the best format to use for inserting or pasting into AppleWorks. I find the resulting graphic can be resized somewhat & the resulting saved AW file is much smaller than if using JPEG or TIFF.

Database Layout problem

Appleworks 6.0, I'm trying to print a database with only SOME of the existing fields, using specific search criteria. I've saved the searches, created a new layout with only the fields I want to see, but it is only visible in "browse" mode . . . when I try to switch the new layout to "list mode" it shows ALL of the fields!
What am I missing please? THANKS!
Neil
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

"List" mode is a specific layout that includes all of the fields, and places them in a spreadsheet-like grid. Your only options are the widths of the columns, the heights of the rows, and the order of the columns.
For a page that displayes only some of the fields, you must create a new layout that contains only those fields. If you want its appearance to be similar to List view, choose a "Columnar Report" as the type of layout to create.
Regards,
Barry

Liquid Layout crashing InDesign CS6

I was using liquid layout - pinning a graphic- and when I tried to resize, the whole program crashed.   Every time I try to resize - on any page in the doc, it crashes the program.
InDesign CS6.   Liquid page rule: controlled by master [which is object based].   Objects move with page.
I've tried everything, for hours now.   I have no idea why it was fine, then all the sudden it's broken.
Very frustrated.

How would you go about exporting your alternate layout alone for print?
