Database opens as read only

I have installed the application of mine to the my computer and the other computer that are running on Windows 7 64 bit and all of the function are worked fine (adding the data to the database through system, delete a single data or clear all of the data from
the database through system, edit the data in the database through system and look at whether the user has correct login username and password from the database through system).
But, when I installed the application of mine to the other computer that are running on Windows 7 32 bit, all of the functions not worked (object reference not set to the instance of the object when I want to adding the data to the database), but the user can
login to the system (look at whether the user has correct login username and password from the database through system), but all of the functions except that (login to the system), are not worked, and when I open the database, the database has been opened
as read-only. This problem has been bugged me, because I have been searching what's is the problem and cannot find the problem at all.
Anyone know what is the problem? Is it the operating system that restricted the database to be accessed by 64 bit only?
Thank you very much!
Your answer much appreciated!

Hi,
Change the database to
Read-write mode.

Database open for read-only access ORACLE

while building a universe with a dblink betweens oracle databases, i try to create a derived table in the form
select field1 from table@db_to_db2
but i get the following message:
Exception: DBD, ORA-16000: database open for read-only acces State N/A.
I understand the statement "Set Transaction for read only" must be set before any transaction during the session, but still dont know how to trigger it in bo universe designer.
Can someone know how to solve it?

I suggest you fill-in the BEGIN_SQL parameter on the Universe to turn on the read-only transaction.
Here is an excerpt from the Universe Designer guide:
The BEGIN_SQL parameter allows you to prefix SQL statements with the same parameters each time a SQL statement is generated.
1. Open the "Universe Parameters" dialog box in Designer.
2. Click the Parameter tab.
3. In the "Parameter" list, select the BEGIN_SQL parameter and enter the
appropriate prefix commands.
4. Save the settings.
5. Save the universe.

Access Database Opens in Read Only for Users

I just moved an Access Database to a new server (from Server 2003 to Server 2012). From the server, using Office 2010, I can open the database without issue but, if a user try's to open the same database from either a shortcut or mapped with Office 2010,
they get the message that the database is Read Only. Did I miss a step in moving the database to the new server? Thanks

Hi,
Did your user get the error message "You are trying to open a read-only database..."? If it was, please try the following method:
On the desktop, double-click My Computer.
Locate the Microsoft Access database that you moved.
Right-click the database name, and then click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, clear the Read-only check box under
Attributes.
Click OK to apply the change.
Open your database in Access.

Database Open in Read Only Mode

Hi
I would like to open database in read only mode
like
SQL> startup mount
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY
this will open database for read only mode for all user
i want to give read write access on database to one user
any idea how i can proccess
Thanks
Chetan

Hi,
Alter database open read only;
this should work fine and everything will be in read only mode. Hence if any auditing is going on and audit_trial=db then it fails to open the database in read only mode.
If you want to control only users to stop writing to it, you may remove tablespace quotas for those users. Also, you may control them through grants. Remove any current grants assigned to them or to roles through which the grants are assigned.
Several ways to do this. If you tell us the particular scenario then we might help in getting a solution.

Hi
Object can become invalid, if the underlying objects are dropped/invalidated.
So even if you create or validate the underlying objects these objects by themself do not become valid. You have to either make them valid or you should use it atleast one time as select/desc or any other query so that Oracle implicitly make it valid.
Your source datatabase has valid synonym because after dropping/creating you must have selected that synonym atleast one, but this selection procedure would be after you copied your data to the target database.

Generating EXPLAIN PLAN on a database which is opened in READ-ONLY mode

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10.2.0.3 version.
If my database is opened in READ-ONLY mode, means no insert/update/delete operations are permitted here.
While generating EXPLAIN PLAN for any SQL, it does entries in PLAN_TABLE. But my database is opened in READ-ONLY mode, means no inserts can happen.
So how can I generate EXPLAIN PLAN for my SQL in this condition?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
oratest

You can always do: "explain plan into some_table@remote_database" to avoid inserting into the local database. Unfortunately 10g added a sequence fetch to the "explain plan" code, and this is where the call would fail if you tried this remote approach on your version.
Here's an idea I haven't tested. If you set up a database link from your production database to the read-only database, you could then do an "explain plan" in the production database for the SQL statement by changing every object reference in the SQL statement to "object@readonlydatabase". In most cases this will allow the optimizer to recognise the statement as "fully remote" and get the optimizer on the readonly database to create the execution plan - which would then be written to the production database.

It is possible to apply redo while the standby is open in read only mode ?

Hi,
I am using Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0)
Step 1: Two node RAC is Configured.
Step 2: One node Data Guard RAC is configured.( i,e Standby is one node RAC).
Primary:

Standby:

OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL
READ ONLY WITH APPLY PHYSICAL STANDBY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY
Question:
I have not purchased active dataguard license.
In my case In Data Guard RAC it is possible to apply redo while the database is open in read only mode?

"READ ONLY WITH APPLY" in V$DATABASE.OPEN_MODE means Active Data Guard is enabled.
Oracle code cannot check if you have the right license: it is up to you to know which license you have for your database environments.

MS Access 2007 opening in read only for a client

Hi all,
I have a client that is using a shared database with 6 other people in their office. He is the first one to move to Windows 7.
He can open the database without any problem, but it opens as read only. I've seen others with similar issues in this and other forums. I wondered if there are solutions out there for this?

Hi,
The error is because either the primary database or the secondary database is configured as read only and the callback to create the secondary keys is null. A quick glance of the code, it appears as if you did not set up the secondary database correctly. In the Getting Started Guide for JAVA API chap 10, we have detailed information on what needs to be done as well as a code example. Please refer to http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/gsg/JAVA/index.html and look for Chap 10.

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How can I solve this problem?

When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text. How do I solve this problem? I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

Dear Sara
Thank you very much for sending the converted file. Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful). I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK". However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before. I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images. Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian." Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!

Judith.

GPO settings - documents in sharepoint 2007 sometimes open in read-only mode - needs IE reset to fix

Hi,
We've got an intranet running on SharePoint 2007.
We also enforce alot of group policies to our users.
But there is a problem that keeps reoccuring:
On random moments, when a user tries to edit a document on any random document library in SP 2007, it gets opened in read-only mode.
The only temporary fix we found for this is resetting the IE settings in Internet Options -> 'tab' advanced -> Reset IE settings... and pressing Reset.
We think it is some GPO setting that we have malconfigured or forgot to configure and we hope that someone could point us in a direction to troubleshoot or even solve this.
Thanks in advance for reading and providing help.

Hello,
I also suspect that there might be issue with IE plug-in so could you confirm that? you can also tell su what plug-in you see in IE.

SP2013 and Project 2013 - project files open in read-only mode with no options to edit only Save As

Hi all,
Environment:
SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4420.1017) RTM
Windows 8 - Project 2013 (15.0.4433.1506) 32Bit
Issue details:
When opening .mpp files stored within SharePoint they are opened successfully within Project 2013 however they are opened in Read-Only mode with no options to edit/check out only Save As. The
same outcome is experienced if you click the document link within SharePoint or you chose to edit from the document menu.
Opening the file through windows explorer also opens only in read-only mode.
To date we’ve tested the following
Windows 7 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 8 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 7 – Office 2013 = opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Windows 8 – Office 2013 – opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Current thinking is that it is an issue with either the SharePoint Office Documents Class ActiveX control or Project 2013 itself interacting with SharePoint 2013.
We have tested this in multiple SP2013 environments with the same outcomes.
The workaround therefore is to save locally and then upload again which is not ideal.
Unable to find an exact issue match to this.
Any help with this appreciated.

Hi Dan,
For us after investigating this further it was found that using the document menu to edit or checkout and then edit results in the project file being opened in read-only mode.
The same issue was present for Visio files.
Using the FILES ribbon menu results in the document being opened in edit mode successfully in both Project and Visio.
Please note that we found that this issue only exists within document libraries where checkout is required to edit which was our case. If checkout is not required the document
menu can also be used as expected.
Cheers,
Dan

Word 2007 - documents open in read only mode

Got a couple of users who are getting this issue. When they want to open some documents from a file share, it opens as read only (this is random) - comes up with a prompt saying that this file is locked for editing by another user. If they close
it, wait a few minutes then it opens fine and they can edit it. It has nothing to do with permissions and no one else has this document open.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.
Anything is welcome at this point.
And yes, I did try both through PowerShell and through the Unlocker and the behavior is pretty much the same. If the item is checked in, there is no trace that it is locked, if I Check it Out (the only thing I can really do with it) it shows as "LongTerm"
but then throws the same exception
Unlocking...
Error occurred. Details:

Document will only open in read-only mode

I created a .pdf document from a Word document in Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.1. When I open the .pdf it will only open in read-only mode. I want to change the security settings to prevent editing before I send it out but the File>Properties>Security>>Security Method is greyed out and set to "No Security." I have tried certifying and signing the document and even placing in a secure envelope with no luck.
Help.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Dave.
From MS Word, I am choosing Save as Adobe PDF. In the Save window I reviewed the "Options..." and found PDF Options including
Convert document information (checked)
Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file (not checked)
Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF (checked)
Apply Security (not checked)
Create Bookmarks (checked)
Convert Comments (not checked)
I checkmarked Apply Security and attempted to save the document, however, received the following error:
PDFMaker cannot apply security when PDF/X or PDF/A compliant job option is selected.
I do not have the Create PDF/A-1a:2005 compliant file box checked so I'm not sure why I'm getting that error.
