Help an OCS rookie!

Hi,
First of all I would like to say that I have very limited knowledge regarding Oracle's products.
I'm trying to evaluate the Oracle Collaboration Suite. I download the OCS single-box installation package for the Windows platform. Unzipped the disk1-file and copied the other two files to the disk1-directory.
I have finally managed to complete the whole installation process but it doesn't feel like its working as it should. I must say that the installation process wasn't easy (many ports, username, password etc to remember) for someone who has limited knowledge about Oracle. I'm getting exceptions almost everywhere when browsing and some of the services will not start. It really feels like I will have to start all over again and re-install. So then I have a couple of questions
- Should I go for the 10g installation? Is it easier? When will it be available on the Windows platform?
- Should I try to install Infrastructure, Storage and Middle Tier separately? Is it easier then the single-box?
- Should I just go for another try with the single-box 9.xxx installation package?
Any other advice would also be much appreciated!

The OID service is the Oracle implementation of an LDAP server. Check if processes on your OS are running that contain some string like "...oid...".
You'll see if the db is running when you have a couple of processes running like smon, pmon, etc. Check if the listener (tnslsnr) is running. Try to connect to the db with sqlplus.
Excuse me for being blunt, but if you don't know how to check if a database is running, then you will have a lot of trouble running the Collaboration Suite. Good DBA skills, AS Admin skills and some other qualifications (such as Vodoo and Black Magic come in handy :-) are necessary.

Query help...rookie here!

Hello,
I need some help. I have a problem I am not too sure on how to approach. I have two tables that look some thing like this:
Table 1
CRITERIA_ID      DESCRIPTION
1           Product A
2           Product B
3           Product C
4           Product D
5           Product E
6           Product F
7           Product G
8           Product H
9           Product I
10           Product J
Table 2
ACCOUNT_NO      CRITERIA_ID
000000001      1
000000002      1
000000003      1
000000004      1
000000005     1
000000001     2
000000002     2
000000003     2
000000004     2
000000001     3
000000002     3
000000002     4
000000001     5
000000002     5
000000001     6
000000002     7
000000003     7
000000002     8
000000004     8
000000004     9
000000004     10
000000006     10
Table 1 - the CRITERIA_ID is unique
Table 2 - ACCOUNT_NO can occurr for more than one CRITERIA_ID and CRITERIA_ID can occurr for more than one ACCOUNT_NO
What I want to be able to do is query for the account_no, criteria_id and description
for the account_no which occurs for the most criteria_id, then the next account_no which occurs with the next most criteria_id and so on
until all 10 criteria_id are found. I want to be able to find all the criteria_id's using the least amount of account_no's. Is this even possible?
The result I am looking for would be some thing like this:
CRITERIA_ID      DESCRIPTION           ACCOUNT_NO
1           Product A           000000001
2           Product B           000000001
3           Product C           000000001
5           Product E           000000001
6           Product F           000000001
4           Product D           000000002
7           Product G           000000002
8           Product H           000000002
9           Product I          000000004
10           Product J          000000004
The only thing I have been able to do is join the tables:
select A.CRITERIA_ID,
A.DESCRIPTION,
B.ACCOUNT_NO
from TABLE_1 A,TABLE_2 B
where A.CRITERIA_ID=B.CRITERIA_ID
order by A.CRITERIA_ID
Any help/direction would be appreciated...
Thanks,

Help for a rookie in over her head

I'm a first-time Dreamweaver user working on a site for a
nonprofit. I'm having problems with positioning, especially in IE7.
I am too new at this to troubleshoot very effectively -- I'm hoping
a patient person out there can look at my site (which I'm testing
out on my personal web space) and help me out.
The site is
http://mysite.verizon.net/hamiltonal/index.html
One page I am also having trouble with in Firefox is

Thanks for your help.
Alison

Ok... Go in and change all the left aligns to center on the
tables, that
should work.
Below is the code for the changed page, you can cut and paste
if you like,
but a better learning expience if you go in and monkey with
it yourself.

Help for a rookie 3120 Classic user please

Just purchased a 3120 classic. wish I had checked here first as the backlighting thing (or lack of) is really annoying. My question is - are you able to set a signature on your outgoing text messages? my very old Sanyo allowed me to have my name automatically at the end of all texts I sent, which I found convenient. Thanks in advance for your help.

You can't do that but you can compromise by creating and saving message template with your name at the end and creating all your messages from that template but I don't think you can set a shortcut to the template itself for your standby screen so getting to the the point where you actually start typing in your messages will now be a few extra clicks

Help for wireless rookie

Ok, I have a Titanium 15 inch that I just picked up (550mhz) as my first laptop. I wanted to use it wirelessly, which I also have no experience with. After a bit of snooping found that I can use the Orinoco Silver card in the slot. Got one of those off eBay. After putting it in, the icon shows up on the top right, but I am getting no signal. Also, there seem to be to LED lights on the card, should either or both of them light up when inserted? They don't. I need a link or info on how to get this thing working so I am not tied to wires with it. Is there a good link, am I missing something, do I need drivers-this card came with no cd, but as I said, the card is being recognized on the top with the clock icon.
I apologize for the lack of knowledge but really want to get this going and learn how to do it.
Thanks so much as always.

gmakc4,
Go into System Preference and open up network. Are you seeing Ethernet Adaptor (en2) under Show: Network Status? This is the Orinoco Card. If not,then go to Show: Network Port Configuration. In the list of Port Configurations, you should see Ethernet Adaptor (en2). Make sure there is check mark in the on box. Once you click apply at the bottom, the lights on the card should come on. On mine, the light closest to you will be solid and the other light will blink as it looks for a network.
If there is no signal, but the card is recognized, Network/Show: Network Status will show the adapter with a yellow dot. The message will read something like "Ethernet Adaptor (en2) is currently active. Ethernet Adaptor (en2) has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet".
Not sure why, but the driver spells "adapter" as "adaptor".
Once this is done, under "About this Mac", the card should show up not only under "PC Card", (looks something like this? )
WaveLAN/IEEE:
Function: Network Adapter
Vendor: Lucent Technologies
Type: PC Card
Vendor ID: 342
Device ID: 2
but should also show up if you highlight "Network",
something like:
Ethernet Adaptor (en2) Ethernet Ethernet en2 IP address.
Also in the System Preferences, the installer should have place a pane call "WirelessConfig". At some places, you may have to put the name of the network in, but if I remember right, it should just pick a network.
There should also be something called "SigMeter" in the Applications folder. If you are running Tiger, double click that an it will put a signal meter by the card icon at the top. This is handy because it will show you the strength of any signal you may be receiving.
I have a secure network at home and have not been able to get the driver to sign on, but I don't have any problems when I shut off the security and sign on to any open networks.
Hope this helps,
Shane

I forgot to add, there is a manual of sorts for the driver if you download the older version of the driver (WirlessDriver Beta 5.1)

Help a php rookie out

Hello,
I had a request from a client to make a site, and he said he wanted to have someone log in and attach news to it. Now, all I did so far was use DW to make html/css sites and I am pretty confident in the way I handle those, but I assume news submission would involve doing php.. which I have NO idea how to do.
Basically I need something fast (2 days) to figure out how to make a site that has that component to it. Can I still make a site in DW, only in PHP like I am doing with regular html/css? Do I need to use something external? Like I said, I dont have the slightest clue about php, databases or anything like that.
I was hoping someone in this community could put me on the right track.
Thank you.

Look at Cushy CMS. Watch the video, this might be all you need (no programming or databases required).
http://www.cushycms.com/
If you need something more robust, look at Content Seed (no databases required, uses PHP or ASP includes)
http://contentseed.com/
Finally, if your client needs a Full CMS site (PHP/MySQL), this should be hammered out during project discovery -- not a last minute option.
Some popular CMS frameworks:
WordPress
Drupal
Joomla

Hello,
i'd like some help regarding OCS instalation on linux.
at first i tried to install OCS V2 on redhat 9.
added redhat-9 to "certified OSes", installer started, fixed issue with "-z defs", then hung on relinkink webcache ins_calypso.mk. (ignored) later running DBCA get message "ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed" (abort) "ORA-01990: error opening password file ..." (abort) "ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status" (abort) same error (ok) other tasks continues...
even tried OCS V1 singlebox version. the same problem.
later downloaded and instaled UnitedLinux 1.0.
some more issues about fully qualified hostname.
needed to set /proc/sys/kernel/hostname not only to hostname, but to hostname.domainname.
and the get the same error.
i cant find answers to my problems in OTN and Metalink.
please help.
Thanks.
Saulius Speicys

also followed suse recomendations for Oracle 9i R2 install on SLES8 (920_sles8_install.pdf).
updated kernel, downgraded gcc .
and got the same troubles.
at first with hostname, later with ins_sqlplus.mk, and then at dbca "CREATE CONTROLFILE failed".
can it be because of fqhostname "ocs.as.local" ?
or any naming of oracle home "/opt/oracle/product/iasdb" , instance name, or instance name "infra" / "ocs_infra" ?
i think i'm lost %(
thanks for any help.

Pictures not showing up in media/pictures folder

Hi there, new blackberry user. I have taken a few pictures with my Bold 9700 and the have shown up in media/pictures/all pictures. Not sure what happened, but now when I take pictures, I can only view them if I explore and go to the pictures folder. How can I go back to viewing all pictures? Any help for a rookie?

They should still be available when you go Media>Pictures. Did you change he store pictures option? Both the device memory and media memory have picture folders.
You should be able to go Media>Pictures>All pictures

Arch: Install to & run from External USB Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

I wanted to play with ArchLinux 2009.02, but replacing the existing Debian-Lenny on the laptop's HDD wasn't an option. So I experimented with installing Arch on an external USB Hard Disk Drive.
I have tried to make this "newbie-friendly", so I hope the more experienced will forgive the detail.
Materials:
Three year old Dell Inspiron 6000
CPU = 2.0 GHz Pentium
RAM = 2.0 GB
Internal HDD = 80 GB
Internal CD/DVD R/RW
External USB HDD = Freecom FHD-2 Pro 80 GB
Archlinux 2009.02 install CD
Steps to install:
1. I put the Archlinux install CD in the drive and connected the external 80 GB HDD in the USB port.
2. When the Dell laptop was booted, I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS setup. I edited the boot sequence to the following:
Internal CD/DVD
External USB device
Internal HDD
On the Dell, you can also press F12 to select the preferred boot device for that boot.
3. I started the laptop and the Archlinux installation menu came up and I proceeded with installation following the "Official Arch Linux Install Guide" and the "Beginners Guide".
4. Used km to change to UK keyboard layout and then began the installer script (/arch/setup). I was installing from the core CD so I skipped the network steps.
5. HDD preparation.
This was fairly straightforward with two cautions:
(a) Make very sure that the external HDD (sdb) is selected for the operations.
(b) Remember to set the Bootable Flag for the first (/) partition on the HDD.
I chose 20 GB for /, 2 GB for swap and the remainder for /home.
6. The package selection and installation was fairly straightforward.
7. Configuration of System
This was section was straightforward with one warning:
USB had to be added to the HOOKS in the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file!
I found this to be essential for my external USB HDD to function as a bootable device. Otherwise I got the same sorts of errors relating to unrecognisable file system types that other people have reported in the forum.
The relevant line from the end of the edited /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file is below:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
8. Installation of GRUB was the other point where caution and/or correction was necessary.
When it asked where GRUB should be installed, I had to select sdb (my external USB HDD) and not any of the particular partitions on sdb. If the root partition sdb1 was selected then the laptop won't boot from the external USB HDD.
The GRUB /boot/grub/menu.lst as written by the installation routine specifies hd(1,0) which doesn't work when you try to reboot from the external USB HDD. When you boot Arch from the external USB HDD, as far as Arch is concerned - at that point in time - the external USB HDD is the first drive in the system. To fix this:
(a) When the Arch boot menu comes up, press e to edit the grub entries.
(b) Change the first line to hd(0,0)
(c) To the end of the kernel line add rootdelay=8
(d) Press b to boot the system with these temporary corrections.
(e) Once your Arch system has booted, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to make the above changes permanent.
The relevant portion of my /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like the following:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... ro rootdelay=8
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
# (1) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... ro rootdelay=8
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
9. The laptop happily and consistently boots Arch Linux from the external USB HDD when it's plugged in before startup/booting.
Running Arch from the external USB HDD seems as quick as running Debian from the internal HDD.
So if there is a performance penalty associated with using an external USB HDD, my wife and I haven't noticed.
In summary, the three essential points to address during installation to an external USB HDD are:
Remember to set the bootable flag for the first partition.
Add USB to the HOOKS for /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file.
Correct the /etc/grub/menu.lst file.
I hope this is helpful.

Hi Rookie,
As you say, it is worth remembering the rootfstype= option for the kernel line just in case someone still has problems with GRUB after making all the other changes.
I was working with the most recent Arch 2009.2 release.
I only got messages about unrecognisable file system type when I tried booting with the "stock" or "as-installed" GRUB (before I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst). After editing /boot/grub/menu.lst to identify the drive correctly and add rootdelay, GRUB was able to do the rest and everything worked OK without any error messages.
Best wishes,
Ted

Program id in RFC to webservice scenario

HI
I am trying to build a RFC to WS scenario. when we create the RFC destination in R/3 side we need to enter the program ID. How do i know what is the program id i need to enter??
thanks
murhty

Hi Sudhakar,
You can use any alpha-numeric string for the Program ID. Just keep in mind d program ID is a register Program ID that shud be registered on ur R/3 and Xi.
Now to register the Program ID on R/3 and XI automatically you have to enter the same Program ID in ur RFC destination and ur RFC adapter in Integration Directory.
Note: You can use even ur name as a program ID but that shud not be used in any other TCP/IP type RFC destination i.e dat shud be unique in ur R?3. Now use the same Program ID(Case sensitive) in ur RFC adapter.
While testing the RFC destination if the test fails just check whether you have started your RFC sender communication channel or not?
Hope this will help u
Regards,
Rookie.

Flash CS3 comes with "Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder",
standalone application.
You could as well use Flash to convert to FLV, simply import
that file to flash
and it will open the FLV conversion dialog automatically.

How can I copy and edit navigation buttons and anchors to remain consistent?

I have inherited a web site and I'm just getting started. I need to add navigation buttons that look like the ones already used on severalpages on my site. How do I reproduce these navigation buttons? I have attached one as an example. Thanks for helping such a rookie.

Sue,
Some very friendly advice here. Stop what you're doing. Put down the mouse. Walk into the boss's office or phone the client and tell them their current website is a flaming disaster. It uses frames which makes the site overly complicated and difficult for site visitors to use. To add further insult, the site is constructed so poorly as to be un-navigable. I can't even see the lower menu in Firefox 3.0.10 on XP. Seriously, this needs to be rebuilt ASAP without frames and with a navigation system that doesn't suck. In the long-run, a good CSS menu would be much simpler for you (and the next poor soul who inherits this site) to work with.
