How can I find out the database version from an old backupset

Hi,
I have to restore a database using an old backupset (4 years ago) to a new database. My challenge is we don't know what version of the database were used back then. Is there anyway I can find this information. We are using the RMAN catalog.
Or is RMAN restore and recovery can be used to a newer version than the backupset?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sosan Fong

Thanks for the reply and suggestion.
We are using its own software for all databases hosted in the server. So I need to cleanup and reinstall after tested in 11g. A little bit more work, but if it works, that's ok. Is there any other suggestions?
Regards,
S

How can I find out the mail server from email address?

Hi:
How can I find out the mail server from email address?
for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
THANK YOU

You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

How can we find out the datasourse is having Beforeimage&afterimage in R/3

Hi Guru's,
This is Surendra,i have a doubt like' how can we find out the particular datasourse is having before image and after image in R/3 side before we are going to extract the data from R/3 to BW'.Can any body help me in this scenario.
thanks in advance,
Thanks&regards
Surendra.

Hi,
Let me explain it with a DS:
So lets take DS 2LIS_13_VDITM
So logon to R/3 -> Se11->Database table = ROOSOURCE>click on Disply->click on contents (CTRLSHIFTF10) -->mantion Datasource = 2LIS_13_VDITM.
and OLPTSrc Version = D.
And see the value for the field <i>Delta Process for a DataSource</i> (DELTA) .Here we get ABR as the value for the field.
And also you can find all available values for DELTA field.

How can I find out the dpi of an image in Acrobat.

How can I find out the dpi of an image in Acrobat. I have tried the pre-flight option but I really don't understand the pixels width x depth information that I get. I basically just want to know at dpi of a single image. Is there other program that will read my pdf file and tell me this information.

Thank you, tylerdurdain! That was ridiculously difficult to find. Not sure what version of Acrobat you're using in your image, but for those using Acrobat Pro 11 (in Mavericks), it's buried under View > Tools > Print Production.
That opens a panel on the right.
To keep from having to chase it down this way each time, right click on "Output Preview" and choose "Add to Quick Tools Toolbar". That adds a button to the top right of the toolbar.
Now you can call up the inspector with one click. Choose Object Inspector as tylerdurdain shows above, then click on the item displayed to get its properties.

How do I find out the firmware version of my WD Black2?

Dumb question, maybe. How can I find out what firmware version I'm currently on? Need to know this to figure out if I need to update. Thanks

Oops, my mistake, that's the device driver in the OS. I should never post before my second cup of tea. Download and install WDC Lifeguard. Start it, right-mouse click on the drive in question, select Properties, and the firmware version will magically appear. http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?level1=6&lang=en

How does one find out the database name , service name in a database

hi,
how do u find out the database name , service name , SID in a database.
Please reply.
Thanks ,
Regards,
RC

This particular information is available in the view V_$PARAMETER owned by SYS. But you can also login with Server Manager as user INTERNAL and run:
SHOW PARAMETERS
The entries pertaining to the naming of the database are:
1. db_name
2. db_domain
3. db_name
4. instance_name
5. service_names
GLOBAL_NAME is a static (not changing) Data Dictionary view which has just 1 attribute (column) called GLOBAL_NAME.
When you run:
select GLOBAL_NAME from GLOBAL_NAME;
You are returned the full global name of the database, i.e. the db_name and the db_domain joined together by dot (.) For e.g. if your db_name = mgmt and db_domain = tech.co.in, then your global_name will be MGMT.TECH.CO.IN.
Ciao.

ADS problem: How can I find out the SP of ADS?!

Hi,
when i try to run the Dynamic Form tutorial i get the following exception:
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
The execution of "Test" under http://<host>:<port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config
was successfull.
I have SAP Developer Studio SP 11, J2EE SP11, but I am not sure what ADS SP I have.
So my question:
Is it important that the ADS has the same SP than the J2EE and the Developer Studio?
And how can I find out what ADS version I have currently installed?
Kind regards,
Tobi

Hi Tobias,
This can be due to lot of reasons.
Please have a look at the following SAP Notes:
826419 Setting socket timeout for WS Clients in SP10 and SP11
849851 Importing a Web Dynpro patch for Support Package 12
867502 Read Timeout using AdobeDocumentService in Web Dynpro
Also there are few more notes, that you should check.
To check the version of all the components in your J2EE Engine, goto
http://<server>:<port>/sap/monitoring/ComponentInfo
You can see the version of Software Components.
For ADS check ADS_SAP and ADS_SAPOFF components version. It will be like 1.00 SPXX.
Let me know if you still got this problem.
Regards,
Shubham

How can you find out if another VI running on the same computer and how can you find out the name of that VI?

Suppose that several VIs running simultaneously on the same computer. How can I find out the names of the running VIs, from another VI?
If the already running VIs are clones of the same basic VI, open and run with the option "Prepare to call and forget", how can I find out the names and index of each clone?

I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them. I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory. I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods. [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK?

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK? I need to know how much sreen real estate that is available on the users moniter. Is there some call that I can make from the SDK to discover the maximun X and Y coordinates?
Thanks,
Gregory

Currently, I am testing on multiple moniters and it is defaulting to the moniter designated as the #1 moniter. For our purposes, this is acceptable. Once the two documents have loaded, the user can move and re-size at will.

How can I find out the apn number of the battery without having it?

I dont have the battery of my iphone 5 anymore but how can i find out the apn number of the battery? I would like to change it but i need to know the apn number to choose the right battery.

Apple does not provide any user-serviceable parts (other than accessories or sometimes a SIM card tray).
Therefore, there are no legitimate iPhone batteries available for sale anywhere.
Anything you find will either be salvaged, counterfeit, or stolen.
