Find time when DB went down (nothing in alert log).

hello all,
is there any way to tell when the DB went down. Yesterday we had some outage in our datacenter and it took down one of our servers. And this morning i started the DB and they went up fine with no problem. But is there any way to find out when the DB went down (there was nothing written in the alert log)...and our sysadmin is on Vac...and the management wants me to find out when the server/database went down...does oracle record this thing any place in the DB besides the alert log ?? we are on 10.2.0.3 on hp-ux. We can look at the OS to find this out, but as mentioned our sysadmin is out and dont have access to root...

Hello user630084,
Pls try this. I had to check the same on one of our client boxes without unix access and I used the below to find. it worked for me.
(10.2.0.4 version)
SELECT SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(TIMESTAMP_TO_SCN(startup_time)) "DB Shutdown Time" , startup_time "DB Startup Time" FROM v$instance
Hope this works for u aswell.

You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

ASE instance not available *** ERROR:ASE instance possibly left running when system went down(system crash?). Notify Database Administrator

Hi Gurus,
I made some changes in rz10 for client copy like:
icm/host_name_full [email protected]
login/accept_sso2_ticket 1
login/create_sso2_ticket 2
icm/server_port_1

After to make changes effective, i stopsap & startsap.
But unfortunately db is not coming up. I checked startdb.log it showing
error as " ASE instance not available
*** ERROR:ASE instance possibly left running when system
went down(system crash?).
Notify Database Administrator."
Please help us to resolve this issue, i have also added startdb.log for
your reference.

To find time when the user was dropped oracle

Hi Experts,
I have query from my auditor that will it be possible to find the time when the oracle user was dropped .
Vesrion oracle 10g,11g
Can we find it through audit trail or there is some dynamic performacne view which keeps this information.
Or other wise we have to create some trigger manually to capture the time if so then please provide the details of the same
A quick responce will be helpfull ....

See here : 11.2.0.1 Windows XP
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL> select username from dba_audit_trail
2 where
3 action=53;
no rows selected
SQL> show parameter audit;
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
audit_file_dest                      string      E:\APP\SERVERROOM\ADMIN\ORCL\A
                                                 DUMP

SQL> audit drop user;
Audit succeeded.

User created.
SQL> drop user test;
User dropped.
SQL> column sql_text for a50;

SCOTT                          30-APR-12 drop user test
SQL>So, answer is action=53 in dba_audit_trail for drop user and for specific user just add like operator with sql_text column. Means, scott user droped the test user on 30-APR-12.
If you wish to know the meaning of action column of dba_audit_trail then see below link :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2088.htm#g1432037
command.v$session = action.dba_audit_trail
If this answer your question, please close the thread, else continue.

Sometimes (about 60% of the time) when I shut-down or restart the computer normally, it retsarts saying it has recovered from an error. I have nothing opening at login, and I have checked everything in the Disk Ultility... all seems ok.

It's a strange little anomaly, computer seems to work fine, never crashes, all programs are running fine, but when I do a restart or a shutdown it restarts with the "recovering from an error..." message. It happens all the time, even if I've opened nothing (just started up and then shutdown, [I have nothing starting up at login]). I have checked all the permissions and verified the disk... Everything checks out ok. Only 'non-legit' program or app I have is the VLC player, but I don't see how that could affect the shutdown or restart process.

Hi Norbert,
Forcing a shutdown can cause hard drive directory corruption. You should start from the install disc and repair the disk with Disk Utility.
When other methods don't work, holding the power button to force a shutdown is the only way. You can try control-F12 (opens the Restart, Sleep, Shutdown dialog box) and then press return to shutdown or control-command-F12 (quit all applications and restart).
If just one application is hanging try using Force Quit (command-option-esc). That will also work to force quit the Finder if it hangs.

Does anyone know why the word count in Word for Mac changes so drastically? In one document it goes up and down by several hundred at a time when I have done nothing but scroll through the document.

I am new to the wonderful world of Mac and all of my documents were created in MS Word on my old laptop. I noticed that the word counts were slightly different when I opened the documents in Word for Mac, but then I noticed that they changed drastically. For intance, I opened a document today and after the initial period where the word count shifts, it seemed to settle on 13,171. I left the document for a while to work on some other things and when I came back the word count had changed to 11,677. I didn't do anything to the document. Word counts are important to me since I need at least 60,000 for my PhD Dissertation. Which word count should I trust?

Since Word is a Microsoft product, you should probably post your question on the Microsoft Mac forums:

Find Time, when I give a SELECT query in oracle ... ...

Dear Friends ,
Using the below query we got the username , sid with the CURRENT_SQL information .
SELECT s.sid sid, s.serial# serial_id, s.status session_status, s.username oracle_username, s.osuser os_username, p.spid os_pid, s.machine session_machine, s.program session_program
, s.client_info , SUBSTR(sa.sql_text, 1, 1024) current_sql FROM v$process p , v$session s , v$sqlarea sa WHERE p.addr = s.paddr AND s.sql_address = sa.address(+)
AND s.sql_hash_value = sa.hash_value(+) AND s.audsid <> userenv('SESSIONID') AND s.username IS NOT NULL AND s.status = 'ACTIVE' AND s.username not in ('SYS','SYSTEM','DBSNMP','SYSMAN') ORDER BY sid;
But I need to know in which time with date , I execute this SELECT query .
Here I explain my problem and that is , In my centralized database , we have a lot of clients . so If any client gives a command to show a report , I need to find out in which time he/she executes the report ?
Waiting for kind reply ... ...

The issue as you have described just does not make sense unless the recorders ae not ordered by the test number.
Does the number of records returned match the number in the DB?

Columns in af:table rendering multiple times when filtering drop-down list

Technology: JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 SU5, ADF Faces/BC
Page design:
Master-detail jspx.
Each section is an af:table.
Drop-down lists created using instructions from http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/screencasts/editabletabledropdown/dropdownlistineditabletable.html?_template=/ocom/technology/content/print
Requirement:
Data in a drop-down list on a child record needs to be filtered based on data from one or more columns in the currently selected row of the parent record.
Issue:
Drop-down lists have been successfully filtered using a couple of different methods, however, any time the data from the parent record is used to filter the data the columns in the child af:table begin to render multiple times. Navigating through the parent rows may cause the child records to have the correct number of columns displayed or multiple copies of the columns displayed.
Removing any reference to the parent view object and hard-coding values instead causes this behavior to disappear.
Each of the following methods has been tried. Each filters drop-down list data correctly and each causes apparently random extra column renders.
1.     Cascading lists as per: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/mills/cascading_lists.html
2.     Drop-down list based on view object that takes parameters.
3.     Set where clause for drop down list in a method on the app module.
4.     Set where clause for drop-down list in a new selection listener method for the af:table.
Question:
Is there a solution available that will filter the drop-down lists correctly and prevent the extra columns from being rendered?
Thank you for any help that you can provide,
Joanne

I use iContact and they recommended I use Firefox. This time when I went to use iContact, half of the program did not load and I couldn't use iContact. I spe

I spent 2 hours talking with several icontact support people in the Phillipines and at the end of it they told me that it was my computer and the Mozilla Firefox that was causing the problem. After that, Firefox was telling me not to use Google - it was a threatening site.
Of course, this has been a huge inconvenience, delaying my work. I called my IT person who couldn't find out the problem on Facebook. She said, why don't you try Internet Explorer to open up iContact... ! and it worked fine, so I worked all night to finish the message I needed to send.
What is going on with Firefox?

Did this problem start suddenly? Did iContact support suggest clearing your Firefox cache and removing your iContact cookies? Sometimes new add-ons or software updates can create problems with sites that worked normally.
Depending on your remaining patience for troubleshooting, you might try the following general suggestions.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
This will open a dialog where you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Unfortunately, your "More system details" does not list any plugins or extensions, so it is difficult to suggest the ones that you might want to disable or remove.
Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Restart Firefox. Any change in behavior?
You also could try Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions and problems caused by hardware-based graphics acceleration and JavaScript compilation. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?
Or... you could try Firefox's Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your old settings will be archived to a folder on your desktop. (I recommend keeping that around for a few weeks in case you need to rescue anything from it.)
More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
Does it make any difference?

My site went down and I need help getting it back up please!

Hello.   I am new to this forum and new to Dreamweaver.   I had a friend who was helping with my website but lapsed on a payment or two and the site went down. I can log back in now but I am unsure how to move the pages that I stored on my desktop back to the website space.   I tried "insert" but that button doesn't even light up.   Bottom line is I have a folder with the pages before it went down though I am unsure how to convert those to html.   I need to know how to move those files back into Dreamweaver so they appear on the website the way the did before it went down.   I also have them in a zip file form that he asked for a couple of years ago.    Would that help or be a better way to get the files back into Dreamweaver? I am Dreamweaver "stupid" so I need any and all help I can get and thank you very much!    If you want to answer me privately, you can email me at [email protected]   I would appreciate anything anybody can do to help this "stupid old broad" try to figure out how to get this website back up fairly quickly as I just mailed a grant in and I am sure they will be checking out the website.   We are a small nonprofit.   Thanks again!

Hi Hans.   I appreciate your "hanging with me" and yes I should change the date on my camera.   I changed the batteries recently and just haven't reset it.
I guess I am just not able to find how I access the Dreamweaver directory in the second window.   I have tried various "paths" but cannot find anything within Dreamweaver that says "directory". Only things like required, regloc, plug ins, LMResources, legal, JVM, installer, etc. so I am apparently not following the right path to the directory.   I have tried everything.
I have to be "real careful" as to what I do on the website as the space is "borrowed" from another person who also has his sites up there.   I feel confident though that if I could just copy the older working files onto the site again that "all would be well"   The "tree" is still there but somehow the files are incorrect and I don't even know how to remove them and start again. I just can't seem to figure anything out.   I am very very new at all of this and have probably relied on others for much too long.
Again, thank you so much for your time and effort.   I am still reading and looking :-)
Peace
Pam

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now it is fine, but my macbook airport no longer detects it and keeps asking for a WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. I'm getting rather fed up.

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now the network is fine, I can connect through the ethernet cable, but my macbook airport no longer detects it, when prompted, macbook will find it, but I get asked for the WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. Prior to the network problem my macbook worked fine everytime. Anyone know the answer?

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted

I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted back to a blank version of itunes and I cant get ctrl to work again. Any other ideas?

This is sometimes caused by a problem with the iTunesPrefs.xml file, normally found at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml. Try dragging this to the desktop and trying again.
Alternatively the problem may be that you have McAfee AV and it is preventing iTunes from updating the same file and thus causing the problem. See Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml? for details.

I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time. I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax. How do I find where to download the movie?

I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time. I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax. How do I find where to download the movie?

But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
