Db2bak side effects on the database

Dear All,
I would like to know what is the impact / side effect of db2bak on the database?
Does it lock the database while running?
Moreover, if you can provide me with more ideas/ info about any other side effects would do me great.
Regards,
Scotty

I am running a stored procedure that uses getXML. I would like to know how much memory its using up. I was told to increase the java pool, but it did not help with large query of getXML. What should I monitor for getXML?
Thanks.

Side effects of the /$sync transaction

Hi!
Does anyone know is there any side effects of using the transaction code /$sync, which is cleaning up all buffers?
Personally I'm using it to refresh an ALV table, if it's structure was modified.
But it is applied only for my session's buffers and it will not harm other people and will not kick out other people from the SAP system.
Am I right?
Thank you
Tamá

It will not kick out other people, but it does clear ALL buffers, and not only yours. Therefore you should not do it yourself, but rather ask some people from basis if you can and may do it or let them do it.
help.sap.com:
command $SYNC to reset all the SAP buffers on the application server. These commands only affect the buffers of the application server on which the commands are entered. The buffers of the other application servers in the network are not affected.
Using the commands $TAB and $SYNC places an extremely large load on the system. In large systems, it could take up to one hour (depending on the access profile) for the buffer load to return to its original state. System performance is greatly impeded during this time.

Does EXPDP has any performance effect on the database ?

We are planning to run export dump expdp (11g r2) on standard edition database every hour. Full =y . It might run for about 15 minutes.
Does it has any performance effect ?
Will it slow down the database operations ?
Will users who are using the database will see any performance issues?

HI!
1.For decrease influence on DB ->
Try excluding index statistics exclude=index_statistics.
2.Starting with release 10g (10.1.0), Oracle introduced the new Oracle Data Pump technology, which enables very high-speed movement of data and metadata from one database to another. This technology is the basis for Oracle's new data movement utilities, Data Pump Export and Data Pump Import.
Under certain circumstances, a performance problem may be seen when unloading or loading data with the Data Pump clients. This document will provide details about setup and configuration settings that may have an impact on the performance of the Data Pump clients; will provide details how to check what Data Pump is doing at a specific moment; and will discuss some known defects that have an impact on the performance.

Is there a byte swapping side effect to the type cast function?

I am developing a PC based program that reads from a TCP connection (network byte order), yet doesn't require byte swaps? There is a non-labVIEW program on the PC which receives the same byte stream and does need to swap!

I guess you have to repack your string before sending it to the non Labview program(se posted picture). I think visual C uses litlle endian. As an example. In Labview the sgl number 123.123 is equal to to the hex byte array 42 F6 3E FA. Doing the same in visual C for a float, will give FA 3E F6 42. The same bytes but in a different order. The flatten to string function will hanlde this job for you. Use the ditailed help for pointer to examples. On this page http://www.61131.com/download.htm You will find a tool if you want to toy with number (Floating point to/from hex/binary conversion).
@grahamwebb
I think you should look at your code. Perhaps you lose or get some ekstra unwanted bytes in your programming/transmission.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

What is self referential integrity? How does it effect the Database?

Hello Gurus,
What is self referential integrity?
How could it is achieved and implemented?
and what is effect on the Database?
Thanks in advance.
~ SubbaReddy .M

Self referential integrity simple means that the parent end of a foreign key constraint is in the same table as the child end. Consider the SCOTT.EMP table. Every manager is also an employee. Hence there is a foreign key between the MGR column and the EMPNO column.

How to connect the database (JDBC) using service name rather than SID

How should we make the connection to the database using service name. Initially, we are using the SID to make the database connection, with following setting in the data-source.xml in OC4J using ABCDB as the SID.
<data-sources>
     <data-source
          class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
          name="jdbc/ABCDB"
          location="jdbc/ABCDB"
          pooled-location="jdbc/OracleDSPooled"
          xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleDSXA"
          connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
          username="ABC"
          password="ABC"
          url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@191.1.4.126:1521:ABCDB"
     />
</data-sources>
It work, but now we need to make the connection using this service name ABCSERVICE, but it doesn't work in the OC4J (JDBC). May I know how should we handle this connection?
Thanks and Regards,
Pang

Finally, I got the solution to make the database connection using service name, with putting the tnsname setting in URL portion.
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description=(address=(host=191.1.4.126)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(SERVICE_NAME = ABCSERVICE)))"
And now, it is working fine.

Pang

How to change the SID name in the server

hi all,
i installed oracle 10g R1 on windows 2003 server. i gave an sid and created a database. the database is new and there is no data in the db. now i want to change the SID name of the database. pls help me in doing this.
regards,
nagarjuna

Hi,
Just a notice: SID and DBNAME are two different things. But the usual practice is to have SID = DBNAME, so let me assume you want to change both SID and DBNAME.
Either you can do it manually by recreating the controlfile as orawiss suggests. You may discover some challenges around the way (for instance, for the command CREATE CONTROLFILE SET "new_dbname" to work, you have do delete or rename the old controlfiles first).
Or, you can change it easier by using nid utility. The detailed howto and all implications can be found on:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10825/dbnewid.htm
Basically:
SQL> create pfile from spfile;
SQL> shutdown immediate;
nid TARGET=sys/password@oldname DBNAME=newname
copy the initoldname.ora to initnewname.ora and edit the DB_NAME parameter to reflect the new name
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> create spfile from pfile;
SQL>startup mount;
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Then don't forget to generate new password file for the new dbname (using orapw) and make changes in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora if needed.
Just make sure, the database has been properly shut down before changing the db_name either manualy by recreating controlfile or by the newid utility, as the renamed database has to be opened with resetlogs - making any crash recover of improperly shut down database impossible.
Kind regards,
Martin

What exactly are side-effects in #pragma no_side_effect?

Which of the following qualify as side-effects for the purposes of #pragma [no_side_effect|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5265/bjaby?a=view#bjacp]:
1. dynamically allocating/deallocating memory using malloc/free or operator new/delete
2. exiting the function by throwing a C++ exception
3. temporarily changing the disposition for a signal (e.g., ignoring or suspending a signal)
4. creating a thread and joining with it

Thanks for your answers! Just to make sure I understand correctly: accessing the local state of the caller through a parameter is not a side-effect. I.e., in the following snippet the function has_no_side_effects() has no side-effects:
int get (int *p) { return *p; }
void set (int *p, int x) { *p = x; }
void has_no_side_effects () {
    int x;
    int y;
    set (&x, 0);    // not a side-effect (x is local)
    y = get (&x);   // same
}But in the following, has_side_effects() does:
void has_side_effects () {
    static int x;
    static int y;
    set (&x, 0);    // side-effect: writing a "global"
    y = get (&x);   // side-effect: reading a "global"
}Also, reading global const data (i.e., what might be in ROM) is not a side-effect. Correct? E.g.,
static const int global[] = { 1, 2 };
void has_no_side_effects () {
    int x;
    int y;
    x = global [0];   // not a side-effect, global is in ROM
    y = global [1];   // same
}

Newbie: Method should or should not have side effects

Hi experts,
What does it really mean when I read for the InputVerifier class that the method 'shouldYieldFocus' can have side effects but the method 'verify' should not have side effects.
Thanks for you comments.
tuckie

I am but a newbie only asked to learn and maintain. The reason I ask about side effects is that the shouldYieldFocus() method is invoked twice for the same tab key event. When the tab key (or mouse click) wants to move focus to another input the current input's shouldYieldFocus() is invoked, it in turn invokes verify() which validates data returning true or false and checks to see if a warning should be issued that the data is legal but high. If the data is not high it also returns true and the focus is yielded. Also shouldYieldFocus() is only invoked once. It is when the data is high and the showConfirmDialog() is put up that I get the second shouldYieldFocus() invocation. The previous coder put in a de-bouncing mechanism and I think this is where/how the problems with the next field are created. Sometimes the next field's focusLost() is invoked without the operator making any input. The focusLost() does some fill in the blank things that are reasonable only if the operator really wanted not to fill in any data in the field.
Back to my original point, I was wondering if the fact that the verify() method may have a dialog box put up before it returns to shouldYieldFocus() is the kind of thing that shouldn't be done - no side effects. If so then it could be the likely cause of the problem with the next field sometimes being automatically filled in as if it had received a focusLost() event.

What's with this stupid wobbly effect in the iPhone and iPad cameras?

When using the camera on an iPad or an iPhone, any movement causes a ridiculous wobbling effect that makes video and still photos rather hard to take and the final shots look awful...
Anyone know if there's a way to turn this off?
Anyone at Apple have anything to say about this?

Just tried again, and the most I can get is some slight distortion when panning the camera left and right quite rapidly (too fast to actually make out much). When I do that it kind of looks like the image is skewed a little bit, where the top of the picture is slightly in front of the rest of the image, making vertical objects look somewhat bent.
Is this what you mean?
Again, I think this is due to the screen and camera hardware not being able to keep up with each other. I've seen similar "effects" on other dedicated digital cameras, however, in normal use (i.e. not rapidly panning left and right repeatedly), I've not noticed it.
It's probably a side effect of the relatively low quality cameras these devices have in comparison to dedicated video cameras.

Any side effects on JRE/JVM when setting Desktop Heap Size?

In Win2003 we experience a limitation of about 70 java.exe's. By setting the Desktop Heap Size we can increase this limit to more than double. Link showing more info on Desktop Heap Size:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ntdebugging/archive/2007/01/04/desktop-heap-overview.aspx
Does this give any side effects to the running java.exe's?
Has anyone experimented with this?

Hi Bobo
It seems to be a bit small. I have close the same configuration like you and set the
maxMemory to 512 MB/server

Hello,

We have an application on it that makes use of connection pooling, session objects,
over 30+ stateless session beans, and has 100-200 users connected to the application

Does this value of 64M make any sense??? This is the default out of the box setting

Also as a side note, can any point me in the direction of any formulas for the

Domain logic in the database

Hi.
Don't know if this fits the topic, but I need some feedback.
My company is relativly new to J2EE. We are currently moving our existing application portfolio to J2EE from a two tier client-server architecture developed on Centura and Oracle. Our data model is pretty strong, and much of the domain logic of the application has been moved to the database over the course of the last few years, so there is quite a bit of PL/SQL code in there.
Now there is a heated discussion internally about the validity of making the transition to J2EE with the databases intact and reusing this PL/SQL based domain logic. We have individual proclaiming that every operation on data is domain logic and all domain logic should reside on the application server with J2EE.
I personally feel that J2EE fully allows for keeping domain logic in the database, and that one should always apply the principle of the "best technology for the job" in each case. For instance data intensive transformations and calculations belong on the database.
Please provide me with some support to use in our internal discussions as I feel overpowered by the "darker forces", and would very much like to know how the industry at large feels about this issue.
Regards,
Jorn Olmheim
Senior Java Developer

Hey Jorn.
Sorry, but I would have to side with the dark forces you mention. In moving to an 'n' tier architecture, the Business logic should be contained in server side components, not the database. This will allow re-use of componenents across other applications(think Enterprise here), as well as providing a layer of abstraction for accessing the database.
Also, What if you change db vendors? All your pl/sql code will need to be ported. Very messy.

Accessing UIView.bounds has side effects?

I'm trying to debug another CocoaTouch issue, and so I added a bit of logging to my view controller:
NSLog(@"view size = %f,%f", self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height);
But just adding this line of code changes the behavior, causing my lower subviews to appear about 45 pixels higher than they do without the line.
I've read the UIView bounds documentation six times, but I can't see anything there suggesting that I should expect side-effects from the getter.
Anybody know what's going on here?

Hi,
maybe it's because you're accesing self.view, wich will cause the view beeing loaded if it wasn't loaded allready.
So, depending on where you put this line of code it could change the behavior of your app at least in theory.
