How do I format a tape?

I'm trying to do an RMAN backup to tape using OSB Express. I keep getting the error:

2006/09/01.15:41:43 data failed - blank medium encountered (OB device mgr)
I'm assuming blank medium mean's unformated (it's a brand new tape). Does anyone know how to format a tape with RMAN, or OSB Express?
Windows 2003 r2, Oracle 10.2.0.1, OSB XE 10.1.0.2, SDLT 320

Thanks for your help on this. Are you saying that OSB doesn't need tapes formatted? Can just put in a blank tape straight out of the shrink wrap and it will be ok to use it?
That makes me even more confused about why I'm having problems?!? Here's the full 'debug' version of one of the errors I'm getting ... does this mean anything to you?

How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

MiniDV was a great format, one I still use often. I also still use iMovie HD6 to process it and, for all the iterations of iMovie that followed it, I still believe it was one of Apple's greatest movie software programmes, next to Final Cut Pro, using a timeline method of editing. That was also in the day which Apple put Superdrives into their computers, so that you could not only make your movie in iMovie, but you could render it to iDVD and then burn the DVD. Now you need to buy an external burner.
Since iMovie HD6 and iDVD 6 were "universal" software, it has continued to work through the many OS releases since it came out with Tiger, I believe it was. So, it may still work with Mavericks too and, if you could locate a copy of iLife 06, probably used, you might enjoy the difference that HD6 has over all iMovie releases since then.
Not saying you can't process your MiniDV with current iMovie versions, but I'm not the one to speak about that.

Using Adobe Acrobat XI, uploaded my form from my Word. How do I format spaces for SSN, DOB, Phone number?

I'm trying to create a new client form how do I format the spaces numerically for DOB, SSN and phone number??? HELP! Can I do this on Adobe Acrobat XI????

Not sure what you mean by uploaded form. Did you print to the Adobe PDF printer, use the Save As Adobe PDF, use Save As PDF or XPS, use the Acrobat menu in WORD, or try to open the word file in Acrobat directly? Assuming you printed to the Adobe PDF printer, then you select the TOOLS>Interactive and select the Form Wizard. Otherwise, you simply use the tools under the interactive menu. You might find the following video useful: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-create-pdf-forms-from-existing-documents. The form tools are under the interactive menu (I could give better direction if I was at home where I have AA XI).

How to handle format trigger in bi publisher report

Hi all,
anyone have idea how to handle format trigger in bi publisher report....
also if someone will illustrate the how exactly we use the triggers in bi publisher reports.
regards
Ratnesh

Hi,
there's no direct support for the format triggers out of Oracle Reports. Therefore they are mentioned in the log file and in the created layout after conversion the objects with format triggers are colored red to show, that there you had to do some additional work.
Currently you had to built the logic of format triggers in BI Publisher new. Hve a look in the User Guide, there are some examples for if or choose statements.

Hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone. how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?

hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
Many thanks

Dear Community,
how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ?
Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ?
Cheers, Marek

Thanks Jan.
Actually the reason to use Quantum SCSI tape recorder is to back-up big amount of data (propriety movies footage) both on PC (what is quite easy, using SCSII host adapter with VHDCI 68 connector) and iMac what seems to be not easy. All my search by Google leads to that conclussion, they finished production of SCSI-to-USB or FireWire because somebody stopped to produce chips to covert protocols. So even buying noe second-hand adapter, no guaranty it's still working with Lion (nobody is developing drivers anymore). Strange is, nobody or just a few are using SCSII (Ultra 320) devices (while the transfer is not bad, 320 MBps what is 2560 Mbps, so the only limitation is tape recording (some 80 MBps) not an interface. Using compression mode I can (and I do) record 1,6 TB of footage data. However quite slow, is safe and cheap, comparing with any HD storage solution. USB 2 is much more limited.
I'm using Time Capsule for buck-up. But even 3 TB one day will be full of data, then old back-ups will be eaten by new once, what is not good idea for archives. I'm using another 2TB NAS HD (2x2TB RAID 1), but this is also going to be full soon.
Of course, you are right, the option is another machine (OSX,Win,Linux or Solaris) equipped with SCSII controller. But this requires another machine, just for back-up time to time, and in practice iMac folders must be shared with that small auxiliary machine because amount of data practically excluding even temporary data collection on auxiliary machine. And it must be transfer by wire, not WIFI, my only network. Tape recording is in my case really good, professional solution, isn't it?
Anyway, if somebody has similar requirements as me, and found the solution for SCSI, please let me know. So far, follow Jan's idea, I'm thinking about some embeded mini PC, fanless, equipped with slot for SCSI, with SOME smart system on-board, to deal with iMac for type recording. The option is previous Apple model, but to be honest, I became Mac/OSX user 4 years ago. I fell in love with Mac, but my knowledge about previous models is based on Google....
My desk becomes full of boxes. Do you know how big Quantum TC-L42BX is ? Is very big. And now another box.....another keyboard....another screen... And one small adapter could solve the problem. Eh....
Best regards,

How do I format a full frame 16x20 print to minimize edge loss at printer?

Wondering how to best format prints for printer to avoid visible edge loss in printing. I have color borders on the photos, H & V.
Do I subtract a 1/4th inch from each side while formatting? Order with "border" and cut the border?
Prints will be mounted on standzard 16 x20 backboard.
Thanks in advance.

That's not a very helpful lab worker then !
From your original post you said you had a colour border, so why not extend your canvas and border by a quarter inch all round. That should be more than enough bleed.

How to do formatting of messageStyleText in a table for each row

Hello one and all,
We have a requirement that the values displayed in figures must have a formatting same as we do in SQL
for example : select TO_CHAR(4555.95 , '999,999,999.99') from dual
OUTPUT will be 4,555.95
Now i want to do the formatting for the messageStyleText which i have created as follows:
Header
Table
messageStyleText
The code that i am writing is as follows :
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
//Call the AM by using create object, this object created only for FirstPG_AMImpl use
FirstPG_AMImpl am =(FirstPG_AMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
//Calling view object vo method when Go button is clicked.
if (pageContext.getParameter("go")!=null)
Object [] returnVa = (Object[]) am.payslipsummary(pageContext);
OAMessageStyledTextBean earbean =(OAMessageStyledTextBean) webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("inputValue");
earbean.setValue(pageContext, returnVa[0]);
when the query executes it displays 3 Rows in the table.
Now, the formatting happens only for the first row displayed in my table. how to allow formatting to happen for all the rows???
NOTE: the formatting code is in my AMImpl
public Object[] payslipsummary(OAPageContext pageContext)
Object [] strValue = new Object[10];
NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getInstance();
numberFormat.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
numberFormat.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
numberFormat.setMinimumIntegerDigits(3);
numberFormat.setMaximumIntegerDigits(20);
return strValue;
pls help!
Brgds,
Jenny

Hi,
To for the specific column value of all rows of table, please loop through the underlying VO of that table
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("View Object");
if (vo != null) {
Row TotalLinesVOrows[] = vo.getAllRowsInRange();
RowSetIterator rowsetitr[] = vo.getRowSetIterators();
if (vo.getRowCount() > 0) {
rowsetitr[0].setRangeStart(0);
rowsetitr[0].setRangeSize((int)vo.getRowCount());
for (int count = 0; count < vo.getRowCount(); count++) {
row = rowsetitr[0].getRowAtRangeIndex(count);
Object value= row.getAttribute("ViewAttributename");
Double fomattedValue=getFormatCurrency(value)
row.setAttribute("ViewAttributename", fomattedValue);
public String getUSFormatCurrency(double value)
Locale locales = Locale.US ;
DecimalFormat formatter = (DecimalFormat)
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locales);
String formattedCurrency = formatter.format(value);
return formattedCurrency;
Thanks
