How do i find the location of Oracle password file in the HDD

we giv the location of the password file while we use the orapwd command to create one.
later if we forget the location of the password file (incase it is not at the default location) then is there a way to find it or do we just create a new password file?
secondly, for oracle to use the password file we giv the remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE' in the parameter file. wat tells oracle the location of the exact password file??
Thanks

The default location are OS dependant.
On Unix/Linus it is under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
On Windows, it is under %ORACLE_HOME%/database
To change the default location, nothing inside database, but :
On Unix/Linux, you have to create a symbolic link for that file to the target location
On Windows, you have to change env variable (regedit) ORA_PWFILE and ORA_SID_PWFILE
So, you have to check this setting for the real password file location.

Move password file to any user define location and create soft link for same password file in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs location.

How to find the location of controller class file on the server

Hi OAF Experts,
We have a extended controller in which we are making some changes. We have compiled the java file.
Now we want to deploy the .class file on the server. When we search on the server where we need to deploy the class file, we find two to three paths. Is there a way from which we can decide which path is actually referred ?
Is there a front end page available from where we will be gettng these details??
Regards
Samarth

Hi,
You can get the complete path from front end.
On 'About this Page', there is a section for 'Business Components'. When you expand that, you can see all the controllers used with complete path.

How to determine the location of Oracle Client

Hi folks,
how can I determine the location on a given machine where the Oracle Client was installed ?
My java-application, which has used the 9i-Client until now, has to run with a 10g-client in future. The problem is: for a transition period, it has to use both clients optionally. So when the application starts running it doesn't know which client is installed on the machine.
There are never installed both clients, so before starting the jvm I have to decide which one has to be used, since I have to set the right classpath for accessing the jdbc14.jar.
Are there any settings (e.g. ORACLE_HOME or something like that) which are used in the same way in both clients (and on different platforms) ?
Thanks
Jens

Hi Amit,
If you are not able to check the note 118823 or you can't able to find the solution. Just start client copy in test mode, there you can get the size of the client then you can cancel the client copy(which is in test mode).
Hope it will resolve your doubt.
Thanks

How do I find duplicate lines in Oracle Spatial?

Hi,
I am looking at all of the Oracle locator/spatial functions and I am wondering how to I find if two lines, or two polygons are the same? That is a user has partially loaded more lines into the database and the data had previously been loaded. I do not want to rely on any attribute names preferring to only compare GEOM data.
thanks,
Susan

hi
i think u can use this procedure to compare all geometry
DECLARE
v_id number;
CURSOR cur1 is select * from Layer;
CURSOR cur2(v_id number,v_geom mdsys.sdo_geometry) is select * from layer a
where SDO_GEOM.RELATE(a.geom,'EQUAL',v_geom,0.005) = 'EQUAL' and v_id <> GID;
------------------------------ define your LAYER (LINES) ----------------------------
row1 LAYER%rowtype;
row2 LAYER%rowtype;
BEGIN
open cur1;
loop
fetch cur1 into row1;
exit when cur1%NOTFOUND;
open cur2(row1.GID,row1.geom) ;
loop
fetch cur2 into row2;
exit when cur2%notfound;
select row2.id from dual;
-- or insert into ......
end loop;
close cur2;
end loop;
close cur1;
end;
-------------------------------GOOD LUCK ---------------------------------------------

Apology accepted.
But yes, of course I was harsh (not at you, actually, but at the plonker who thinks he can tell me that 'echo $something' is "not right").
Do you know how many questions could be answered here if people weren't forever debating perfectly acceptable answers? If people actually stopped to read what had been written before deciding to add their tuppence-worth? If people stopped to think, "well, that's not how I would answer it... but it's good enough".
I see so many threads here where 58 people dive in to a thread to say, 'Me too'. Another 42 will dive in to say, 'that's not right' when actually it is. And another 137 or so will usually chime in to say nothing very much except to demonstrate that they didn't understand something that was explained a lot earlier on quite clearly. Threads go on and on, when actually all that was sought originally was a simple answer to a technical issue. God knows why it happens.
I have no problem at all being asked for clarification. I have no problem at all being corrected and having someone point out that actually that parameter doesn't exist, you made a typo, that's not the command to achieve X. When I am technically wrong, I would expect nothing less. But where so much of my time gets wasted is demonstrated in this thread perfectly. I answered the question in one post. It might not have been a perfect answer. There are many different ways of coming up with the answer on Windows, for example, and yet I didn't mention the registry at all or the Control Panel/System applet for checking environment variables once. And yet, despite all of that, in answer 1 there was sufficient information to make the OP happy. But no, that's not enough to shut some people up (and I am again not referring to you at this point).
I don't know what it is. Some sense of, maybe, in a democracy my opinion is as good as yours even if it's entirely unnecessary, potentially confusing and adds absolutely nothing to the outcome? A desire on the part of some people to boost their post numbers?
Too right I'm harsh. I am results-driven. I am here because I want to help others. Not because I think my opinions deserve a hearing even though the answer was posted ages ago. When I see something that looks like the opposite of that -grandstanding, look how clever I am, my opinion counts too- yeah, it annoys me somewhat. And largely because I usually end up having to untangle the confusion caused by unnecessary "contributions" from others.

HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

How do i find out what numbers i have included on the find my phone app?

how do i find out what numbers i have included on the find my phone app?

Sorry, but what do you mean by "what numbers I have included"? Find My iPhone doesn't store nor go by phone numbers, if that's what you're referring to. It's done by the Apple ID you used to set up Find My iPhone on the device you wish to track, and the devices will be shown by name.
You may need to explain further what it is you're asking or are trying to accomplish.

How do I find out what I have recently purchased from the app store and iTunes I.e films, songs, albums & apps?>.<

On your iPad, you can open iTunes and click on Purchases. Plus, when you purchase something from iTunes, you should get an email with the purchase details to the email you set up as your Apple ID. They sometimes take a day or two and with the volume of things being purchased with the millions of new iPads out there in the last 3 days, that may be a bit longer. I keep every receipt I get for future reference.

How do i find my serial number? i have lost the box and my disk.

how do I find my serial number? I have lost the box and the disk to install it again.

You may be able to find your serial number a few clicks beyond Manage Account at http://www.adobe.com/ at least if you purchased from Adobe or registered your purchase with them.
As far as losing the disc, that is not a problem because LR updates are available for download, and you would want to get the most recent one for whichever version you purchased (i.e. LR 5.7.1 for LR 5) and then you can just enter your serial number:
