How do I make the instance archive logs into additional recovery directory?

A third party tool reads all the archived logs. After they are processed,the tool can delete them. I want to keep a copy of archived logs.
Thanks
Hunter

Hi..
Specify the location in one of the log_archive_dest_n (n are numbers ranging from 1 to 10) and for that value of n enable the log_archive_dest_state_n.
Also, can you post the database version and output of
sql> show parameter log_archive

  • How to find out the users currently logged into ODI

    Hi all,
    How to find out the users currently logged into ODI Work Repository?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It stores all the final queries in work rep table i.e "SNP_SESS_TXT_LOG" and the column is "TXT".
    Here u can find all the ODI bkp process queries.Pls specify the SESS_NO for purtivular task u want to check which u can get this in ODI operator.
    I dont think so that it will keep the substituted value(because its implicit and temporary process) but it will keep all the default values in the table SNP_VAR_SESS and the column is "DEF_V".
    Thanks,

  • How can I make the Instance name the same as the name of the Movie clip in an animation.

    Hi, I am an animator for a small game project and I have this really big problem. Even though I used flash for animation for a long time I am a newbie when it comes to something technical. I just received a request to make every movie clip that I use  to have a consistent <Instance name> in every frame of the animation. Only if they told me this earlier... Is there an easier way to make the <Instance name> the same as the name of the Movie clip used other than manually entering it. I have 16 characters with 12 body parts with 20 animations each with about 6-7 frames for each body part it will take me months and nightmares evey night to enter everything by hand. Please help me keep my sanity!
    I'm not sure if I explain correctly, so here is a picture:
    Thank you!

    Thank you for the fast answer! I found this video on jsfl functionality that deals with a similar problem, I am not a coder so it will take me some time to figure it out, but when I do I will probably post the answer here. Here is the video:

  • How do I make the UK Safari my default browser when I log on ?

    Excuse me if this sounds stupid, but Im on broadband and and when I log onto Safari I get the USA version, so if I want to go to the Store page I get prices in dollars, which means I then have to go to a bookmark for the Apple Store UK to get what I want. So heres my problem:
    1. Am I correct that there is a UK Safari browser and if so
    a) Is it identical to the USA Safri browser with news etc
    b) How would I make the UK version my default bowser ?
    As usual hope this makes sense !
    Albert

    Albert,
    Although some default bookmarks may be specific to the U.S., Safari is generally not country specific. User modification is simply a matter of entering your preferences or deleting unwanted bookmarks.
    If you want the UK store as your "Home page", open Safari>Preferences...>General>and paste http://www.apple.com/uk/ into the "Home page:" field.

  • How do you make the dashboard open automatically at login?

    Ok, you know in your dock you can right click on any application icon and it will come up with some options, one of them being "Open at Login." Well, I want to automatically open the dashboard at login, but when I right click on the dashboard icon it does not give that option. How do I make the dashboard open automatically when I log in?

    There is a freeware app called "Dashboard Starter" that will start the DB up when you log-in, or anytime you force quit the Dock.app.
    Search www.macupdate.com for it.

  • How do I make an instance of another class??

    How do I make an instance of a class, (eg. the name of the class is oldJava.class and have a constructor that takes 3 parameters)in a new class. and send paramaters to the oldJava.class constructor. I also want to recive the result from oldJava.class in my new class.
    ??I would be really glad if I could get some code example.....
    //HA

    oldJava o = new oldJava(..., ..., ...); // your arguments here
    o.method1(); // you can call methods on this object now
    // If the method returns anything back, you can keep a reference to it
    int result = o.sum(2, 5);

  • Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Thanks!  For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine.  It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do.  The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
    So, thanks anyway!  Pretty cat!

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try syncing  the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.

  • How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

    When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
    displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
    the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
    the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
    correspond to the black.
    Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
    how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
    Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

    When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
    One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

  • HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

    I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent?  I have an older machine with Windows XP.

    I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
    Try this:
    Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
    Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
    Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
    Close and shut down the computer.
    The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
    Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
    Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
    If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
    Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
    What happens, which step do you have problems with?
