Hi Aman,

What does it mean by rollback here? So if I would kick in really big transaction and Oracle is shutting down, it will be rolling back my transcton? I don't think so. > My transaction info would be cleared immediately. Is there any way that I can see this happening ?
Aman....Take a look in the Oracle Docs:
- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/start.htm#sthref589
Immediate database shutdown proceeds with the following conditions:
- No new connections are allowed, nor are new transactions allowed to be started, after the statement is issued.
- Any uncommitted transactions are rolled back. (If long uncommitted transactions exist, this method of shutdown might not complete quickly, despite its name.)
- Oracle Database does not wait for users currently connected to the database to disconnect. The database implicitly rolls back active transactions and disconnects all connected users.
The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery procedures.
Transactional database shutdown proceeds with the following conditions:
- No new connections are allowed, nor are new transactions allowed to be started, after the statement is issued.
- After all transactions have completed, any client still connected to the instance is disconnected.
- At this point, the instance shuts down just as it would when a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE statement is submitted.
The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery procedures.
A transactional shutdown prevents clients from losing work, and at the same time, does not require all users to log off.

8.1.5.-automate database shutdown:hepl needed

I have tried to setup the automate database shutdown by following Oracle Manual. When rebooting the Unix system(sun solaris 2.6), nothing could be recorded in the alert logfile. After manually starting up the database, alert logfile indicated always a crash recovery during the process.
Any suggestion will be appreciated on above problem!

Hi,
Below is the information from orclALRT.log:
There's a write/open error. At July 21, 21:00PM our backup is start to run.
Is it because the backup software locked some oracle's files ?
But after the error, the next morning July 22 the ORACLE instance is started with no error, even though user can't connect to the database.
TIA

Random shutdown problem on G5 dual 2.3 GHz w/OS 10.4.7

Hello,
I’m using a dual 2.3 GHz G5, and it’s been working flawlessly since I bought it about a year ago. Until yesterday, I was running OS 10.4.5. Yesterday I upgraded to 10.4.7, and as soon as I booted up after the install, I started having a maddening problem with my computer randomly shutting down. (Not sleeping, but a complete power down.)
At first, the shutdown would happen immediately after powering up; my computer wouldn’t even make it to the blue progress bar. I zapped the PRAM and tried something I found online about unplugging the computer for 15 seconds, then plugging it back in. It now boots up, and I can log in, but the computer still shuts down randomly.
There seems to be no pattern to the shutdowns. I tried taxing the processor by opening and resampling huge Photoshop files while lots of other apps were open, and things were fine. Then it would conk out while I was composing an email.
I’ve heard of this random shutdown problem affecting Macbooks, but I have yet to find anything about G5 towers and OS 10.4.7. Does anyone have any info/advice?
Many thanks.
G5 dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.5 GB RAM, 250 GB HD
G5 dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.5 GB RAM, 250 GB HD

Thanks for the advice. I did check the system.log in Console and found the following altert:
PMU FORCED SHUTDOWN, CAUSE = -122
Now, since my computer is just over a year old, and since this problem happened immediately after applying the 10.4.7 OS update, I found it hard to believe that my hardware could be responsible. After 2 days of troubleshooting, I was stumped; after a 2-hour service call, so was Apple tech support. I ended up doing an archive and install back down to 10.4.5, and all is well.
I tested this issue on other machines running 10.4.7 and had no problems. It seems that the following specific combination of elements triggered the problem:
• PowerMac G5 dual 2.3 GHz (dual 1.8 machines did not exhibit the same problem)
• OS 10.4.7
• Logging in with Open Directory/Active Directory mobile profiles
• iTunes 7
Bottom line: if you’re using a dual 2.3 GHz PowerMac with mobile OD/AD profiles, do not update to 10.4.7, and steer clear of iTunes 7, at least until there is a patch update available.
(And Apple wants to be taken seriously in the enterprise market?)

Database termination Problem

Hi every body ..plz help me on this..
We are facing database termination problem in ECC6 production syste.
Database: Oracle 10.2, O/S: Windows 2003. Spam :27, SP level 13.
Error is:
Errors in file f:\oracle\p02\saptrace\background\p02_ckpt_6520.trc:

Hi,
Have a look at below snote which actually speaks about the oracle error codes
Snote : 546006
within the Snote it says :-
" If you cannot access a database file (for instance a data file, control file or RedoLog) for whatever reason, an ORA-270xx appears. The actual cause comes from additional error messages (usually in the operating system) that occur on ORA-270xx. "
And as per your last update
" ORA-00206: error in writing (block 3, # blocks 1) of control file
ORA-00202: control file: 'D:\ORACLE\P02\ORIGLOGB\CNTRL\CNTRLP02.DBF' "
i think there is problem accessing the database control file. Hence you are facing the above problem.
I think if you recreate your control file i think, it should resolve the problem.
Hope it will be helpful to resolve your problem.

Clock problem and shutdown problem! Are they related?

Having a problem with my Dual 2 GHz Power Mac G5
A few days ago I noticed that my clock was not showing in the menu bar in the upper right corner of my desktop.
I went into System Preferences and went to Date & Time. Under the clock tab “Show Date and Time in Menu Bar” the box was not checked off. I checked it off and went to the “Date and Time” tab. The date and time was correct. I then checked the box “Click the lock to prevent further changes” to lock it. The date and time did not show up in the menu bar. I then went back to the tab “Show Date and Time in Menu Bar” and the box I checked was not checked off even thought the lock was still locked.
I then moved my cursor up to the menu bar in the upper right corner to see what would happen and the spinning beach ball started up but only for the original icons such as Bluetooth, Mobile Me (which I do not use), Time Machine, Spaces (doesn’t indicated the number when I switch Spaces, etc. The icons Norton Anti Virus and Tech Tool Pro in the menu bar are okay.
Also, when I attempt to shut down my computer the system clears the icons from my desktop except for a picture I have on my desktop and I get a gray wheel spinning and the system just hangs until I press and hold the on/off switch. I don’t know if the clock and shutdown problems are related.
The only new software I loaded recently was Skype with Logitech WebCam for the Mac and Quicken 2007 (Had a problem with Quicken 2006). They both are working okay.
And ideas on why I cannot get my clock to show up and my computer to shutdown?

You may have to consider a new post in the Hardware forum area for the computer
model and build/year; if there is a possibility of some basis the matter could be in
the machine and not the software running within it.
Your last two/three posts are in the Leopard 10.5(.8) forum area and do indicate
some kind of problem where troubleshooting the computer to discover if the matter
at hand would be either hardware or software based, may be the way to go.
The link to the 10.6 Snow Leopard forum won't be of help if your computer is a
PPC-based G5 tower, or other older pre-Intel configuration. And I remember
your earlier questions about the iMac G4 and some other issues in the past.
You may ask the moderators to put your post in a new thread of its own, in the
Leopard 10.5 area; so as to not 'piggy-back' another topic; even though some
of the odd issues you've had seem similar to this OP's topic line and appear to
be in the same general series of hardware. {The question here seems valid.}
The routine suggestions to check, test, verify, and perhaps repair or replace
the system; save a bootable clone to suitable external standalone device if
testing a suspect computer's viability is recommended; and the basics if not
already tried to help isolate the issue(s) as you've posted elsewhere, may be
of some help to try and do; so in that matter, a new thread of your own is best
for your own directed feedback. Since this kind of advice applies to most any
situation, including troubleshooting what may be hardware or software, I'm
adding my two and three-tenths cents worth here.
Your original included Apple Hardware Test may be of some help, in the process
of elimination; but is not conclusive, so other methods would be also suggested.
Some ideas appear to cover the same ground. However, system corruption or
disc failure can also manifest itself in odd ways & affect things indirectly for a time.

So, at the risk of inadvertently alienating the OP, I am posting this as
a general help to following readers at some later time; and it may not
be too simple for a refresh course.
Some software issues can be resolved by repairing disk permissions,
and re-applying the last OS X update Combo file over the same one
already in the system; or if not up-to-date already, check & repair all
the general items and then apply the last Combo update.
A too-full hard disk drive can compromise the system integrity, so that
is a matter of course to keep up on what resources exist and remain
for the OS X to function correctly and for apps to multi-task together.
However that works out...
Good luck & happy computing!

Are the replacement Heatsinks fixing people's Random Shutdown problems?

Is the replacement heatsink (the shorter one) still the method of choice from Apple for fixing Random Shutdown problems?
Is it working for people who've had it done recently?

Does this max out the CPU?
Yes. People who advocate this are testing to see if it's possible to induce a "random" shut down.
Why would anyone want to do that?
Good question. I've seen two reasons put forward: (a) It's better to make it happen now yourself rather let it strike out of the blue at some later date (and if running this test doesn't induce RSDs you can feel confident that your computer is probably immune); (b) If you take your MacBook to an Apple Store it could be useful for demonstrating to an Apple "genius" that your computer has the problem, especially if your shutdowns are infrequent.
(personally, I don't agree with (a))

Late 2013 13"MBP-Shutdown Problem

I was having shutdown problems with my Late 2013 MBP 13"-the MBP would go to the gray screen and the small pinwheel would progress to different hash marks every 3-5 seconds, the machine would not shutdown at all, it was stalled, so I called Apple and we trouble shot. During our troubleshooting adventure it dawned on me that the problem could be related to my Antivirus Software-Intego. So I went ahead and disabled the real-time scanner and...viola, it shutdown with no problem. So I am letting people know that as of currently, Intego's real time scanner could cause issues during shutdown. I placed it on a scheduled scan and placed everything else on; no issues now.
So my only question would be; I have the same antivirus software on my early 2012 15" MBP with no issues. Though, I do remember having very slow shutdowns for sometime and then it seemed to resolve itself. The major difference in these two machines appears to be, besides the retina displays, the mechanical HDD vs SSD. My 15" (early 2012) has two Mech. HDD while the new 13" has of course SSD. I am thinking the antivirus software isn't handling the SSD appropriately.
Any-how, I just wanted to give a quick (though detailed) heads up.

OK, I messed around with this issue over the weekend. Here's what I did:
1. Used iPad 3 until I have run battery down to about 50%
2. Plug in to left USB port on Late 2013 rMBP. Battery icon starts displaying "flip-flop" behavior.
3. Replug into right side USB....no problem, all behaving well.
4. Tried plugging in my iPhone 4s into same cable on left USB port, no problem.
5. Replug iPhone into right side USB....again no problem, all behaving well.
Here's where it got interesting:
6. Exchange charging cable for a newer cable with the smaller-sized 30-pin dock connector.
7. Plug iPad into left USB port...and viola! Battery charging icon is steady...no "flip-flop"!
8. Replug into right side USB....no problem there either, all seems normal.
I have no idea what's going on, but this seemed to have solved prolem. BTW, the older cable, when plugged into wall charger, charges the iPad just fine.
Hope this helps someone else with this problem.

Shutdown problems

I tried updating to 10.5.6 this evening (I should have read these forums first to be forewarned...but anyway..). I was prompted to restart and ever since I have had difficulty shutting down. All icons, the dock, desktop and menu bars switch off (as usual) and the screen goes to blue and just sits there. The HD is spinning and the screen goes from a light blue to a slightly darker shade of that blue and the cursor shows up on the screen as well. But the computer just doesn't shut down.
Is there a way to force shutdown (other than holding the power button down)??
Also, what can I do to help fix the problem.

I ran disk utility and no apparent problems came up.
I then went hunting in other threads for clues and found a link to the Apple download updates page which gave me an idea.....
Since my shutdown problems started when I was prompted to restart for the 10.5.6 update I thought to re-install the 10.5.5 update.
This seems to have worked. No idea why 10.5.6 would lock up the shutdown process but at least I get a clean shutdown now.
Anyone have a similar issue??

Immediate HELP in Tomcat 5 to Postgresql 7.4 database connectivity problem

Hi,
I failed to connect Tomcat 5.0.24 with Postgresql
7.4.2. The files created by me and the changes i had
made in the existing files are rates.jsp,
conversionDAO.java, web.xml and server.xml. The error
message on the top of the rest of it was "The value of
useBean class attribute converter.conversionDAO is
invalid". So far I found out that the coding for
database connectivity purpose in conversionDAO.java
cause the error. Another thing is Postgresql jdbc
driver is required to set in the CLASSPATH for the
java file to access the Postgresql database. I don't
know where should I put it in Tomcat for web
application. Anyway, I put it in
$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib according the book i
refered. I do the database connectivity coding refer
to the Tomcat Kick Start book from Sams Publishing.
Below are the coding involved, please show me the

Standby database recovery problems....

HP-UX 11.23
oracle 10.2.0.2
I know that this has been discussed quite a bit. I've spent a number of hours on this forum alone today just reading through the search hits. I've tried some of the 'tricks' that have been described in the threads. But I'm still getting the same error....
My standby database lost connectivity with my primary, and stopped receiving logs. I got no notification, because my scripts were not set up to catch this event...
The retention policy on my primary is 30 days of archive logs. After that, they are deleted. (I don't agree with it, but not my call)
The standby got more than 30 days out of sync, so I decided to just refresh the whole standby.
Since cold backups are not an option, I did an alter system checkpoint to flush all archive logs. Then I issued a complete hot backup.
Once completed, I went ahead and created a fresh standby control file, as well as a fresh backup control file. In that exact order.
I transferred all db files, archive logs, and control files over to the standby.
I ran the commands:
startup nomount;
(SUCCESSFUL)
alter database mount standby database;
(SUCCESSFUL)
recover standby database;
I let it run through all the archive log files until it errored saying it couldn't find "X" file being the next sequence that wasn't in the directory. Which to my understanding, is normal...time to quit recovery.
When I entered cancel, I get the following error.
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
ORA-00279: change 7313561157126 generated at 12/17/2008 19:01:02 needed for

ORA-00278: log file '/oraarch/swesc/1_13728_640853326.arc' no longer needed for
this recovery
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
CANCEL
ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/ora1/oradata/peregrine/system01.dbf'
So my understanding of this is that it means that you still need to apply logs.
So I grabbed the logs that had been auto created during the time that I was rebuilding everything and applied them.
Same errors.
I'm at a loss here. How can it still be out of sync? Is there a way to force it to a specific sequence so that I can successfully open it and then shut it down to complete the sequence?
Thanks.

Thanks OrionNet. Great info!!
Here is the response.
OrionNet wrote:
select * from v$archive_gap

and all the logs got applied

I had to change change this as it complained about "not a single-group group function
I changed it by adding group by applied to the end...
NO ROWS SELECTED
Then you should try activating standby database

IF successfull, then perform followin

I thought that in a primary/standby scenario, thiat this action would automatically shut down the primary. I can't have that.

Need more info - same spontaneous shutdown problem...

I'm using a very trustworthy 2.5 year-old T500 running Vista SP2 32-bit and my laptop has begun to have the same spontaneous shutdown problems as other users who've written here. I suspect it's overheating. I normally use my T500 on a docking station, which may or may not exacerbate an overheating issue.
I want to address this problem to ensure that I can continue to progress on my PhD dissertation (!) without crises, so I have taken some of the steps previously recommended for this problem here on this board. I installed TPFC today to begin monitoring CPU temperature and it appears that it runs between 55 and 65 C. Other temps listed are lower. I also made necessary adjustments in Power Settings to maximize fan speed and allow CPU speed to float. I also removed the battery so I'm using AC power with no battery/recharging processes to add to the problem, though I'm not certain that last part will make any difference.
I want to also clean the fan since I'm sure it's probably dirty after 2.5 years of continous use in my house. How can I take my laptop apart to clean the cooling fan? Or is this something I should take it to a repair shop to accomplish?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

No, my machine is not under warranty any longer. I agree, if it was, there's no way I'd risk voiding it by tearing it apart myself.
Thanks for causing me to double check. I DO have a few months of warranty left, so this baby is going to a professional! I could probalby do it myself, but why risk it?

Anybody knows which can be the problem?
Thanks a lot
Carlos

Hi Shriraj,
ensure that the installation path is correct. I only put /urs/sap/<SID> and you must put /usr/sap/<SID>/DV***/.
In my case with that the setup returns all in green.
I hope it helps you

SIMPLE Database Design Problem !

Mapping is a big problem for many complex applications.
So what happens if we put all the tables into one table called ENTITY?
I have more than 300 attributeTypes.And there will be lots of null values in the records of that single table as every entityType uses the same table.
Other than wasting space if I put a clustered index on my entityType coloumn in that table.What kind of performance penalties to I get?
Definition of the table
ENTITY
EntityID > uniqueidentifier
EntityType > Tells the entityTypeName
Name >
LastName >
CompanyName > 300 attributeTypes
OppurtunityPeriod >
PS:There is also another table called RELATION that points the relations between entities.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
check the coloumn with WHERE _entityType='PERSON'
as there is is clustered index on entityType...there
is NO performance decrease.
there is also a clustered index on RELATION table on
relationType
when we say WHERE _entityType ='PERSON' or
WHERE relationType='CONTACTMECHANISM'.
it scans the clustered index first.it acts like a
table as it is physically ordered.I was thinking in terms of using several conditions in the same select, such as
WHERE _entityType ='PERSON'
AND LastName LIKE 'A%' In your case you have to use at least two indices, and since your clustered index comes first ...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Have you ever thought of using constraints in your
modell? How would you realize those?
...in fact we did.We have arranged the generic object
model in an object database.The knowledge information
is held in the object database.So your relational database is used only as a "simple" storage, everything has go through your object database.
But the data schema is held in the RDBMS with code
generation that creates a schema to hold data.If you think that this approach makes sense, why not.
But in able to have a efficent mapping and a good
performance we have thought about building only one
table.The problem is we know we are losing some space
but the thing is harddisk is much cheaper than RAM
and CPU.So our trade off concerated on the storage
cost.But I still wonder if there is a point that I
have missed in terms performance?Just test your approach by using sufficiently data - only you know how many records you have to store in your modell.
PS: it is not wise effective using generic object
models also in object databases as CPU cost is a lot
when u are holding the data.I don't know if I'd have taken your approach - using two database systems to hold data and business logic.
PS2: RDBMS is a value based system where object
databases are identity based.we are trying to be in
the gray area of both worlds.Like I wrote: if your approach works and scales to the required size, why not? I would assume that you did a load test with your approach.
What I would question though is that your discussing a "SIMPLE Database Design" problem. I don't see anything simple in your approach when it comes to implementation.
