Expdp seems to be inconsistent with multiple on delete cascade foreign keys

Hi,
I've raised an SR for this with Oracle already and am waiting for a reply but in the mean time i was hoping someone could give me a hint about something we're doing that is obviously wrong or if anyone else is aware of similar issues. The steps we are following are these:
1) 10.2.0.4.0 source system on SLES10 - we are doing a full schema level export using
FLASHBACK_TIME="to_timestamp(to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')"
This should guarantee us a consistent export of the schema at the closest SCN to that timestamp
We get no errors during the export
2) we copy that file to a destination box which is 11.2.0.3.1 on SLES10
3) we import that file - all the table data loads fine and the row counts are the same as those in the export log.
4) when datapump reached the FK constraints 6 of them woouldn't enable with 'parent keys not found'
The 6 FK's in question are all on delete cascade references back to the same parent table, there are a further 3 child tables which also reference back to the same parent table (all on the same parent PK single column) which do enable OK. The parent rows are indeed not there. In live those rows no longer exist. It appears as if the extract has been don ehalf way between the parent being deleted and the children then being deleted - but i didn't think this would be possible with a 'consistent' datapump export?
So my question is how is this possible?
All i can think is:
a) the tables are being extracted a slightly different scn's due to some datapump bug?
b) on delete cascade actions are somehow in a different scn to the initial delete from the parent table (seems unlikely)
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Regards,
Harry

How can I create a hashmap() with multiple values for the same key?

I am trying to write an application that will us something like a Map() with multiple values but some have the same key. Is this possible?

i had the same question. just create a List, add all the values u want to it, and then put the List into the map like u would a normal single value. e.g.
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add(value1);
list.add(value2);
map.put(key, list);
i bet u r doing the same course as i am =)

RV220W - port redirection/access rules with multiple WAN IPs

I've just installed a Cisco RV220W - which works fine for outbound traffic, however for inbound it seems unable to work with multiple WAN IPs.
We have a block of 6 WAN IPs assigned to us by our ISP, and I want to make use of all of them to expose certain ports on our servers to the outside world.
I've tried to do this with Access Rules (using HTTP as an example) with the following settings:
Connection Type: Inbound (WAN (Internet) > LAN (Local Network))
Action: Always Allow
Service: HTTP
Source IP: Single Address
Start: <one of the WAN IPs>
Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): <IP of the internal server>
Use Other WAN (Internet) IP Address: disabled
Rule Status: Enabled
Yet the server/port remains inaccessible.
I've tried:
rebooting the server with a power off/on again
implementing the same settings in port forwarding
triple-checking all IP addresses being used
The only way I've got it working is by changing the access rule so that it applies to any source address rather than one specific one... however that's not a solution for us as we need to use specific IP addresses for specific internal servers/ports.
The router's admin interface certainly suggests this should be possible, however making use of it seems to break all incoming access!
Any suggestions welcome.

You should be using "ANY" as the source IP, as you are publishing your internal server to the internet and internet means the request comes from any source IP (you don't know what it is, so it will be any.
Basically, you want any source IP to hit one of your WAN IPs on port 80, and then your firewall will redirect that request to the internal server's private IP address on same port 80. And when the response comes back from the internal server, the firewall will already have this translate entry in it so the reverse NAT will happen (you don't need configure this, it is default firewall feature).
I hope I have answered your question well.
Please mark as correct if you like the response.
Thanks

Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths

Object with multiple states and slider in folio are rasterized, settings seem correct.

I am having trouble keeping An object with multiple text states from being rasterized, as well as a slider that is also rastering.
I have read that you are supposed to set the folio and article up to be .pdf and that the slider should have the vector option chosen.
I haven't found anything for the multi state object to for these settings.
What happens is when I output the folio to Adobe Content Viewer, only the text in those items is rasterized. All other text is crisp. Tested on both iPad Mini and iPad Retina and the both are blurry.
Is there a way to force the vector option? It seems even with the correct options selected it is still rastering the test in interactive elements.
Thanks!

Here is the MSO with the folio.
Here is the Slider with folio overlays panel.

I am trying to upload a project with multiple tracks to iTunes. only the first track seems to be uploading. what do I do?

I am trying to upload a project from garageband with multiple tracks to itunes but only the first track is uploading. what do i do to make them all upload together?

Couple of questions:
What type of Tracks are they (MIDI, AUdio, Drummer)?
WHen you play your Project, do You hear all Tracks playing?
What happens when you change the Track order, i.e. A-B-C to B-C-A? WHen you export, do you still get only one Track and if so, is it talways the first Track in the list or a specific Track regardless if it is the first, second, or third?
Are you sure you don't have any Tracks Muted or Soloed (which auto-mutes the other Tracks)?
Hope that helps

How do I use your iPhone with multiple iTunes libraries

Hi, I have my music spread out between 3 seperate Itunes libraries on 3 different profiles on my computer. I have the newest generation Ipod Nano, Ipod Shuffle, and Iphone 4s. My Ipod's are both full, so I've decided to start putting music onto my phone. With my Ipod's, I can plug them into one profile on the computer, download the music on the Itunes library that exists on that profile, then do the same with the other profiles with no issue. However when I try to do this with my phone, It asks me to erase the music I have gotten from one Itunes library and sync with the current library, as soon as I plug it in to a different Itunes on one of the other profiles. I have my Iphone configured with the Manually manage music option, and I still haven't found a way to use my Iphone with multiple music libraries. PLEASE HELP

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 - If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
They seem inconsistent as far as the iPad is concerned but in both articles the iPhone appears to only be able to sync to one library at a time.

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

Find and replace with multiple files and with a watch folder

When you use the open or adding folder items to handlers, you need to add the parameters for the file items passed to them.
I'll go ahead and post the applet/droplet version of my original script from the previous topic for reference:

Edit: how does the choose from list dialog handle those big strings? I'm guessing not very well - is that why you avoided using them?

How Do I Launch Safari with Multiple Tabs Open to Specific Pages?

I'd like a Windows shortcut that opens Safari with multiple tabs open to specific pages. With other browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc.), this is easily done by composing a command line that lists all desired URLs. However, Safari doesn't seem to use the same command line syntax as other browsers. Furthermore, I can't find Safari's command line syntax documented anywhere. From the comments I've seen while researching this question, I suspect this is a neglected area of Safari development, and that Safari simply can't be configured to open multiple pages. However, I'd like to make sure. Can it?
-TC

It strikes me that it should be possible to do that (or something similar) by building a safari extension, TC. Both Sessions and SafariRestore are able to launch multiple tabs from a previous session, so it seems like you should be able to create an extension that launches multiple tabs open to specific sites when Safari is launched.

Problem with multiple Toplink/JPA apps in same server

Anyone have experence of running serveral Toplink/ EJB-3 Web apps in the same server (OC4J, alas)?
We seem to get a problem with the second app failing to initialise toplink, with an entity not found message. Each app runs OK on it's own.

Yes, they access the same datasource and most of the tables overlap.
We're thinking it might help to have common entity classes and put them in a shared library, but I don't know if this is relevant (setting up shared libraries complicates testing and tends to snowball, I reckon we need about 15 jars all told).
I''ve had some funnies on OC4J before which I think may be to do with it's use of ClassLoaders, for example I initially put persistence.xml in the libary jar with the data model, but for some reason I get the entity not found error that way. It only seems to work if it's in the classes folder.
For the moment we're getting arround the problem with multiple OC4J instances in the server.

With multiple Office 2013 items opened, Word opens an invisible document

Using Windows 7 64-bit, 4GB RAM, and Office Plus 2013, fully updated as of 03/31/2015:
User has multiple Excel windows open, multiple Outlook windows open and multiple Word windows open (4 word docs/windows) -
When the user opens a 5th Word document, a 5th item appears on the taskbar, but it is invisible (just a document outline). This happened today as a result of a mail merge. The merge happened, opened the new resulting doc, but was not visible.
We hit the red "X" on the taskbar item to which it asked if we wanted to save. We did, and then opened the saved doc from her docs directory and it opened fine. Obviously Word is working but just not showing up. This seems
to happen only when multiple Office items are open. Is this an Office bug? User has about 79% RAM in use at the time of this glitch, but never over-subscribed.
IT Specialist

Hi,
As far as I know, this issue usually occurs with Windows7 and Office 2013. Please try the below methods:
File - Options - Advanced - General section - check the box for "ignore other apps that use DDE".
File - Options- Advanced - Display - uncheck Disable hardware graphics acceleration.
Update display card driver
Increase virtual memory (We'd better use more RAM)
Hope it's helpful.
Regards,
George Zhao

Using my ipod with multiple computers: not the usual problem I think

I've searched the forum and various help documents but I couldn't find the answer to this.
I have a laptop at the office (work-related, so I don't have any of my music on it, just itunes) and my computer at home. Ideally I'd like to:
= keep my ipod automatically synced to my home computer
= be able to connect my ipod to my work laptop and play the music stored on it through itunes there, and also keep it charged and ready for the trip home.
It seems that the 'manually manage music and videos' setting travels with the ipod, rather than being stored on the computer's itunes installation. If I set it at work, so I can play music there, when I connect the ipod at home I have to reset it (and a few times when I did so the ipod started deleting everything because 'sync my music' was not checked, grrr).
I just want to set things up in a way so that when I connect my ipod at work it will let me play whatever songs I have there (without wanting to sync anything), and when I connect it at home it will automatically update it. It's simple enough, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
If I connect the ipod at work and press 'cancel' when the 'do you want to erase things' pops up, it doesn't try to change the settings, but at the same time it doesn't let me play music at all, everything is greyed out
does anybody have any idea? I don't want to resort to have to buy a usb power adapter just so that I can play my ipod at work without draining the battery...

Could it be because its an iPhone and not a true iPod???
i doubt it.
actually, syncing an iPod Touch (or iPhone) with multiple computers is not recommended @ all. click here to find out what Apple has to say about it.
all i can think of, i you really must do that, is this:
to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command ( on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the ipod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes. now you should be able to do what you want.
however, you do so @ your own peril, as the article above outlined.
alternatively, consider a setup such as this.
good luck !

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?

okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)
