How to avoid OCM reinstall through OPatch when using EM Harvester?

Currently running OEM Grid Control 11g (11.1.0.1.1GC PSU) on an infrastructure repository database (11.2.0.1.2). Previously had OCM installed in every ORACLE_HOME in our environment. I removed all existing OCM installations and OCM Instrumentation in each database.
I then installed OCM (10.3.3.2.2) into the OMS_HOME in order to begin using the EM Harvester for all configuration uploads rather than multiple OCM installs. This went fine, and I began to see targets in MOS indicating GC as the data source rather than OCM. Good so far.
I then installed PSU 11.2.0.1.3 to the infrastructure repository database. During the patch installation, OPatch re-installed OCM into the database ORACLE_HOME without my knowledge. This caused some targets to appear in MOS with OCM as the data source again. At this point I had two sets of OCM processes running. I've confirmed that the patch caused the OCM reinstall by checking the opatch logs from $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs, where I can see the fresh OCM install occur.
I then installed patch 9431704 to the MW_HOME/oracle_common ORACLE_HOME to resolve the 'FMW Welcome Page Application' target showing down in Grid Control issue. The patch went fine, but OPatch again reinstalled OCM, this time to MW_HOME/oracle_common and MW_HOME/utils. So at this point I had four sets of OCM processes running, which caused many duplicate targets to appear in MOS, again with OCM as the data source. Confirmed yet again that the OPatch session led to the new OCM installs by reviewing the logs.
I would like to exclusively use the EM Harvester to upload configuration details to MOS. Per the whitepaper in note 848962.1, "The only prerequisites for using an EMGC system to collect and upload configuration data to Oracle Support are that the EMGC OMS must be at least version 10.2.0.5, and there must be an OCM instance configured (and running in connected mode) in the Oracle Home of the OMS."
So this leads to my question. How can I continue to patch OMS, the repository database, and the target databases, while preventing OPatch from reinstalling OCM in every ORACLE_HOME it finds?
I understand that whitepaper's comment to mean that I only require OCM in the OMS_HOME and it should not run out of any other ORACLE_HOMEs in our environment. Should I simply allow OPatch to install OCM anywhere it wants, then pause them by running '$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/emCCR hold'? Is there a flag I can include when running 'opatch apply' to tell it skip OCM installation?

Thanks EricvdS, I think that will work. I plan to try it with my next PSU patch. It's not exactly what I wanted, since I'd prefer to avoid having OPatch installed at all (and thus have no ORACLE_OCM user and no OCM instrumentation in the database), and I believe the initial OPatch install will submit OCM data to MOS even before pausing it and setting it to disconnected mode, and I'd like to avoid that too.
I also have the feeling that I may be able to skip the OPatch install by not providing my email address and MOS password or CSI number when applying patches. I'll try that too.

How to avoid security information pop up when using BSP in SRM

Hi. I have created a custom BSP and have flagged it as HTTPS in the properties, and the URL does start HTTPS.
I have then put this BSP in a role in SRM and can access it from the internal ITS after logging into SRM. Obviously the main SRM URL is also HTTPS. The BSP actually does its job fine.
However, when I click on the BSP I get the security information pop up telling me that the page contains both secure and nonsecure items every time.
How can I avoid this?
I have read the article on the wiki, but it does not apply to my BSP as there are no links at all in my BSP, and everything is HTTPS.
We can not change the IE settings as all our desktops are locked down and configured in the same way from an outsource company.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dave.

Hi. I'd already seen that, and it is not quite the same as mine. That link is about calling a BSP as a catalog in SRM and switching from HTTPS to HTTP.
I am calling the BSP direct from the SRM main menu and everything of mine is HTTPS, I am not switching.
Do you have any other ideas?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Dave.

How to avoid the "Save As" dialog when using "Close Button"

Hello All,
I am facing a problem while closing a pdf file.
I am using the following code to Open a pdf file.
CAcroApp objAcroApp = new AcroAppClass();
CAcroAVDoc objAVDoc = new AcroAVDoc();
objAVDoc.Open(C:\\new.pdf,Sample);
objAcroApp.Show();
After opening the document I am **** some changes (adding markup) in the file.
Then I am closing the file using the Close Button and in YES for the save confirmation dialog.
Here is the problem.
After giving YES, I am getting a Save As dialog with "Sample.pdf" in the FileName box.
I am getting this only in Acrobat 9.0.
When I tried the same in Acrobat 8.0 I didnt get Save As dialog. It saved with out "Save As" dialog in "C:\\new.pdf".
I need to give the same behavior in both Acrobat 9.0 and 8.0.
Please help me out to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mohd Mustafa SK

In what you have posted, there is no reason it shouldn't work the same way in Acrobat 9. I would recommend that you submit your complete application to developer support.

How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID mirror? Z87-G45

How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID with Z87-G45? I'm using a simple two drive, RAID 1 mirror setup.
I'm currently at bios 1.4, and want to move up. However, last time I upgraded the BIOS, the machine rebooted with improper settings for the RAID (they get hosed during BIOS flash) and Windows decided to auto-repair the only boot drive it could see, one half of the mirror, because it couldn't see the RAID array correctly and *POOF* bare-metal reinstall required.
My PC will not let me press the DEL key on bootup to access the bios, even with MSI Fast Boot not installed. It just ignores the DEL key and tries to load windows which, if that happens, will flame-out my RAID array after a bios flash if I can't catch it to enable the RAID first before windows loads.
I do not want to rebuild my PC again simply because I do a BIOS update.

FYI: BIOS 1.4 & 1.8 are using the same RAID version: 12.7.0.1936
based on this RAID surprise should not hapends.
But as pandaz says if you have no issues, leave bios update alone.
there are still risks something to messed up,
best do a backup of your data just in case if you want to try latest version

How to set fetchsize of sql Query when using Database Adapter.

Hi All,
I am using DatabaseAdapter to connect to database and retriving huge amount of data.For improvement in the performance I want to set the "fetchsize" of sql query. I know fetchsize can be preset in Java using Jdbc 2.0 API.Please let me know how to set this value in BPEL when using DBAdapter?
Thanks
Chandra

I talked to the developer of the db adapter - and he told me this feature will be available in BPEL PM 10.1.3 (which is supposed to be production later this year, and a public beta soon). If this is an emergency I would recommend going throug Oracle support and have them file an enhancement for 10.1.2.0.2

Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV? If so, I'm afraid it's not possible. However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then. There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

How do images embeded in InDesign link when using Creative Cloud on more than two desktops?

How do images embeded in InDesign link when using Creative Cloud on more than two desktops?

If I am understanding your question correctly, you shouldn't have to worry about embedded images in InDesign. Once embedded, the image is stored within the file.
If you are wondering about linked images... InDesign will follow the path on your computer and, if it does not find the image, you will recieve a notification. Edit: To prevent this, I would suggest packaging your file using File > Package... This will create a folder with all of your fonts and linked graphics so that you need not worry about broken links. I just remembered that you cannot upload folders directly to Creative Cloud so a packaged folder wouldn't be very helpful unless you wanted to upload each file manually.
The best solution I see right now is to either embed the graphics in the document, or upload the images with your document to relink.
I hope this helped,
Michael

How to avoid Moire Effects (jiggered still pictures) using iM and iDVD.

This is a discussion going on forever and forever in this forum. I had the problem of bad looking slideshows myself, and I am hearing the same tips over and over again that just don't work. This is what I found out on how to avoid moire effects in your still images, when you want to edit a slideshow using iMovie - and I personally think, this explanation makes a lot of sense.
Try it on your own and you will have had the last bad looking still image slidehow on the TV screen ever!! Here we go:
Like everybody here I am talking about the process of creating a slideshow incuding movie strips in iMovie to get as a final result a DVD with menus and such using iDVD.
And the common problem with stills and iMovie 5.02 are the so called jiggered pictures iMovie creates. Call it a moire effect, if you'd like.
Whenever full resolution still images are importet from iPhoto into iMovie, the quality that iMovie will spit out in the end is disgusting. Period. Just disgusting.
It has nothing to do with that iMovie does not display it properly on the Monitor or we are just in preview mode - the results are bad there and will be bad (maybe even worse) on the TV screen.
There is no SIGNIFICANT difference between wether the pictures are imported with KB on or off, whether they are imported as still frames or as video clips using iMovie "import" function. iMovie can treat the color fairly bad, overprocesses the pictures and - worst of all, the moiree effects you will see in the endresult are just very very bad. It is worse when the pictures are panning a lot (KB).. This is true for every picture containing a lot of detail (Trees, Forests, horizontol lines (stairs) etc.) - not so bad for closeup face shots, unless that person is really old
There is no SIGNIFICANT difference on the result by how the iMovie project is fed into iDVD. When the movie is sent to iDVD using the iM command "send to..." the quality is worse (and you let iM render when it asks) than if the movie is dragged into the iDVD window - but again, the difference is not significant. The result will suck. The DVD will also look bad, when the iMovie is exported has high res quicktime first, before imported into iDVD. Again, its slightly better that way, but not significant.
Whenever a slideshow is created in iPhoto and than exported to iDVD (or via being a quicktime movie through iMovie into iDVD) the result will be however stunning. But that totally defeats the purpose of iMovie and the degree of freedom of designing slidehows in a very appealing manner.....
The problem I think lies in how iMovie processes still images. And this is not a bug, but more of a mathematical/programmatical problem. iMovie has to REDUCE THE RESOLUTION of your still. A 2000x3000 pixel image @ 300 dpi(roughly the dimensions of a 6 MP image) has to be downsized to a TV image (NTSC or PAL, whichever) which has a resolution of approximately 480x640. HD is accordingly higher. The amount of pixels has to be reduced. iMovie can do that. NOT GOOD. But it can. The problem starts when the picture is panning around (KB). iMovie makes a let us say 5 second movie @ 30 fps out of one still image. Almost every frame will be slightly different from the previous one due to the used KB effect. So, the routine of iMovie does this downsize calculation for each single frame - and it removes each time different pixels from the still image, due to a slightly different source still image. Got it?
Now, when you look on how moiree effects occur (which is some weired math in it's own) than it makes sense, that we see all this jiggereing in horizontol lines of high res. patterns.
I found that if I reduce the size of each image in Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) prior to importing it into iMovie, the quality of the final product that iMovie and subsequently iDVD spits out in the end is AMAZING (reduce the dpi to approx. 72, so the image resolution is roughly 480x640). This is not a difficult process, because both programms (PS and PSE) handle BATCH PROCESSING. Just let the Mac work for a couple of hours or so.... its WORTH IT (and don't forget to make copies of the high res originals beforehand... :D).
(before you resize, find out about how to properly resize and rescale an image!!!!)
I am slightly annoyed that I found that out after producing a long long long long and really good slightshow, that is watchable but looks REALLY cheasy and cheap).
I hope this helps out.

I agree that iMovie's still image quality is embarassingly bad and has many bugs.
Even with no Ken Burns, the sharp images tend to flicker on a TV because iMovie doesn't blur them properly.
And as you very well described, iMovie's Ken Burns produces uneasy zooms/pans because the subpixel rendering is, uh, suboptimal.
iMovie's immortal rendering bug when exporting non-Ken Burns'ed images to iDVD/tape doesn't make things any better.
Yes, bicubically downsampling the input images to 640x480 or adding gaussian blur to the megapixel input images takes care of the flicker and uneasy zooms/pans, but as a side-effect the maximal zoom-ins are then TOO blurry.
The best workaround is to use Photo To Movie's higher quality export setting. It has the best quality rendering engine (I recently compared it to Still Life and FotoMagico). Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied customer of Photo To Movie.
