Flaw in Repository Search facility - solution is available too

Question

Today I decided to write a small package, an extension, to the Repository Object Browser for Oracle 10g (or 9i) Designer and Oracle 10g SCM. This extension will provide something like a Dashboard, that will show a quick overview of the most recent events in our Repository or Workarea, depending on the scope you select. Events are currently defined as: Check In, Check Out, Change of Object. You can regard this extension as a tailor made application of the functionality already offered by the Repository Search facility.
The Repository Search facility relies on the column DATE_CHANGED in the table I$SDD_OBJECT_VERSIONS to find all objects changed on or after a certain date – or before a certain date of course. However, I just noticed the following:
* When the Primary Element is changed – for example an Entity or Module or Table Definition – this column is correctly updated, as is the column OBJ_NOTM (number of times modified)
* When a Secondary Element is changed – for example an Attribute, Module Component or Constraint – this column is NOT updated. However, the column OBJ_NOTM (number of times modified) IS updated!
This means that for my ROB Dashboard I cannot rely on the Date Changed column. What’s more: the Repository Search in the ROB as it is shipped by Oracle has a flaw: if you ask for all objects changed before or after a certain date, you are pretty likely to receive an incorrect answer, as the DATE_CHANGED column used in this type of query is not maintained as you would expect it to be.
See for the solution: Oracle Designer and Oracle SCM - Last Date Modified and querying in the ROB at http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=818

Do you have any version of Premiere Elements 13 or only Photoshop Elements 13 which comes with Elements Organizer 13?
Let us look at the following for Elements Organizer 13....
1. Deletion of disabling the Elements Organizer 13 setting file which is named psa.prf. In Windows 7, 8, o 8.1 64 bit, it is found in the
path
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Elements Organizer
13.0
Organizer
and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete or disable by renaming it from psa.prf to psa.prfOLD.
2. If the above gains you successful entry into the Elements Organizer 13, then you can
a. create a new catalog
and/or
b. repair or optimize the current one
See Elements Organizer 13/File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager.
3. There are times that certain formats will bring the Elements Organizer down when you try to import those formats into
it.  But, from what you wrote, your current problems do not sound media related.
3. At your earliest opportunity, please update Elements Organizer 13 to 13.1 using its Help Menu/Updates.
Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.
