Hi Eeland,
Yes .... you are absolutely correct . Actually this is production server also . Before going to implement i need to prepare a document , what are the steps i will follow. If you have free time ...... please help me.
Regards
Pradeep
You can use script as below
DECLARE @Query varchar(max)
SELECT @Query = COALESCE(@Query + ';','') + 'ALTER TABLE ' + TABLE_NAME + ' ALTER COLUMN ' + COLUMN_NAME + ' ' + DATA_TYPE + '(' + CASE WHEN CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH = -1 THEN 'max' ELSE (CAST(CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH AS varchar(5)) END + ') ' + CASE WHEN IS_NULLABLE = 'YES' THEN ' NULL ' ELSE ' NOT NULL ' END + ' COLLATE <new collationname here>'
WHERE DATA_TYPE IN ('text','ntext','varchar','char','nvarchar','nchar')
PRINT (@QUERY)
--EXEC (@QUERY)
But I second Erlands suggestion. First see the generated code and checkk it carefully before applying to prod environment
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

How to change the transaction isolation level of a CMP?

How to change the transaction isolation level of a CMP from SUN's Deployment Tool? So far I can't find any entry for this setting.

Anuradha W wrote:
That means, currently the only way tospecify the transaction level is through
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor?
for WLS-generated code, yes.Somewhat related to this question, we have written a standalone testcase to reproduce this issue we have been having. Basically, the issue is that even though we configure the isolation level to a non-default one in the deployment descriptor, the connections returned by the datasource seem to be having the default (which is Read Committed). The DBMS is DB2.
weblogic-ejb-jar.xml has the following set:
<isolation-level>TransactionRepeatableRead</isolation-level>
And we printed the isolation level of the connection returned from a method in the EJB, but the isolation level is still the default. I can share the code to reproduce the problem if you want to take a look at it. Please let me know how I can get that across to you.
Thanks,
AnuradhaIf you are using our JDBC driver for DB2, or can switch to it,
just for a test, there is some debug I'd like from you.

How to Change SID at SAP level

Hi Teachies
I had backup and restored the development system by brtools,
I want to change the SID at SAP level , i have to note to change SID at Databse level .
What are the changes we need to do at SAP level.
ENV : Solaries, oracle 10g , ECC
Thank You
Haroon

A SID can´t be "changed", you will need to do a system copy according to
http://service.sap.com/systemcopy
Basically - install the system with a different SID and import the database backup.
It´s not possible to change a SID after installation.

Hi Vangelis,
Here's a simple VB class that has functions for setting the login details for the report and passing parameters.
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On
Public Class CrystalFunctions
    Enum ParamType As Integer
        Int
        Text
    End Enum
    Public Shared Sub SetCrystalLogin(ByVal sUser As String, ByVal sPassword As String, ByVal sServer As String, ByVal sCompanyDB As String, _
           ByRef oRpt As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument)
        Dim oDB As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Database = oRpt.Database
        Dim oTables As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Tables = oDB.Tables
        Dim oLogonInfo As CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo
        Dim oConnectInfo As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo()
        oConnectInfo.DatabaseName = sCompanyDB
        oConnectInfo.ServerName = sServer
        oConnectInfo.UserID = sUser
        oConnectInfo.Password = sPassword
        ' Set the logon credentials for all tables
        For Each oTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In oTables
            oLogonInfo = oTable.LogOnInfo
            oLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = oConnectInfo
            oTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oLogonInfo)
        Next
        ' Check for subreports
        Dim oSections As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Sections
        Dim oSection As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section
        Dim oRptObjs As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObjects
        Dim oRptObj As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject
        Dim oSubRptObj As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject
        Dim oSubRpt As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
        oSections = oRpt.ReportDefinition.Sections
        For Each oSection In oSections
            oRptObjs = oSection.ReportObjects
            For Each oRptObj In oRptObjs
                If oRptObj.Kind = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject Then
                    ' This is a subreport so set the logon credentials for this report's tables
                    oSubRptObj = CType(oRptObj, CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject)
                    ' Open the subreport
                    oSubRpt = oSubRptObj.OpenSubreport(oSubRptObj.SubreportName)
                    oDB = oSubRpt.Database
                    oTables = oDB.Tables
                    For Each oTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In oTables
                        oLogonInfo = oTable.LogOnInfo
                        oLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = oConnectInfo
                        oTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oLogonInfo)
                    Next
                End If
            Next
        Next
    End Sub
    Public Shared Sub SetCrystalParams(ByVal sFieldName As String, ByVal iDataType As ParamType, ByVal sVal As String, ByRef oRpt As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument)
        Dim oFieldDefs As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ParameterFieldDefinitions
        Dim oFieldDef As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ParameterFieldDefinition
        Dim oParamVals As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues
        Dim oDiscreteVal As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue
        oFieldDefs = oRpt.DataDefinition.ParameterFields
        oFieldDef = oFieldDefs(sFieldName)
        oParamVals = oFieldDef.CurrentValues
        oParamVals.Clear()
        oDiscreteVal = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue()
        Select Case iDataType
            Case ParamType.Int
                oDiscreteVal.Value = System.Convert.ToInt32(sVal)
            Case ParamType.Text
                oDiscreteVal.Value = sVal
        End Select
        oParamVals.Add(oDiscreteVal)
        oFieldDef.ApplyCurrentValues(oParamVals)
    End Sub
End Class
And here's how you would use them:
' Create an instance of the Crystal report
_rptCrystal = New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
_rptCrystal.Load(_oSBO.AddonPath + "\Reports\MyReport.rpt")
' Call SetCrystalLogin to see the logon information for all report tables
CrystalFunctions.SetCrystalLogin(sUser, sPassword, _oSBO.SboCompany.Server, _oSBO.SboCompany.CompanyDB, _rptCrystal)
' Set my report parameter value
CrystalFunctions.SetCrystalParams("MyParam", CrystalFunctions.ParamType.Int, 999, _rptCrystal)
' Print the report straight to the printer
_rptCrystal.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
The other way to approach this solution would be to base your Crystal report on a .NET dataset rather than a database connection. However, as you've already written your report, the code above is going to be simpler to implement.

Owen

How to Change Appearance of "Top-Level" Wiki Server Pages?

In Mountain Lion Server t is easy enough to change the appearance of our Wikis, Personal pages and their attached blogs - simply by going to "Wiki Settings...->Appearance" or "My Settings...->Appearance". This allows us to change the background pattern on pages, add a custom texture to headers, and select from a handful of preset colour schemes.
It would be nice to have that level of control over the appearance of all the pages in my Wiki, but there seem to be a handful of default, top-level pages in the wiki whose appearance cannot be easily controlled anywhere. These include the "Home" Page, the "All Activity", "All Wikis" and "All People" pages.
Is there a way to change the background and apply different colour schemes to these pages, too?

Tom
Anything is possible in the portal, however, out of the box functionality will not let you do this. Therefore you would have to create your own method of doing this.
What you could do, would be to have some form of UI that would allow the users to see what TLN entries they have, and let them arrange it however they choose. This information could potentially be stored in the /userhome folder in KM for their preferences. Then, have your own TLN iview, which retrieves the navigation entries from the navigation service, and then retrieve the personalised order from the configuration in the /userhome folder.
It simply depends on how much development expertise you have, and how much time and effort you wish to spend on this.
I hope this gives some kind of ideas

How to change value in database using oracle form

- i have a table called mobilephone with quantity column
- i already created a list of quantity inside my form with elements 1-5
- what i want is when i press a button inside my form it will automatically deduct the value i chose from list to the database
- for example if my quantity inside the table is 10, when i chose 2 in the list it will become 8 in the table

Hi,
I agree with Roel, but it might not be enough for you. This depends on the usage, and more specifically the number of concurrent users that might do the same kind of transactions.
If user1 has selected 5 phones, and at the same time user2 has selected 6 phones, then only at the moment they hit the "Apply Changes" or "Create" button, will they know whether they the number of phones they require are actually available.
If this scenario is highly unlikely to occur, I would go with the trigger as Roel indicated. If it is likely to occur, you might want to consider using Javascript to immediately check the availability through a database function call. This will require some database changes, that I could elaborate on. But I will wait until you indicate that this is indeed what you need.
Good Luck!

How to change content repository database

I'm migrating a test environment from a single-server to use a separate machine for the contentdb data. I can't find how to point the contentdb middle-tier application at the new database and install the contentdb schema.
Can anyone give me some guidance?
Stuart

Thanks for the help. 
The database I'm trying to run up against is v.10.2.0.1 (MS Windows). When I try to select it from the list on OID, I get the following message from OUI. "The database you have selected is not supported for the Content DB install. Please the database which is 10.1 or higher version." 
I note in installation guide that "Oracle Content DB requires an Oracle Database version 10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.5", but neither of these seems to be available for a windows platform. Our previous single-server implementation used a database v 10.1.0.2 which worked OK. 
I note also in Re: How To Guide: for installing Content DB 10.2 on 3 hosts a comment that "Content DB will install against any 10.2.x database." 
Right now I can't move ahead with installation of the new middle-tier instance. Any suggestions? 
kind regards 
Stuart

How to change NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter for OWB SQLLDR mapping

Hi,
How to change the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS database paramater for my SQLLDR mapping?
I have an input flat file which has numeric data with ',' as decimal separator means NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS setting as ',.'
However in my target oracle schema, the decimal separator is '.' which has NLS parameter set as NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='.,'
My OWB version is 10.2.
When I checked the configuration parameters of the sql loader mapping and the flat file operator, There is facility to change language, but not NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS setting.
I do not want to change the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS setting in my database as there are many other projects which will get impacted.
We got a work around as below using external table & premap procedure. But as I have many mappings already developed, It is not possible to use this workaround.
- I can use premapping procedure with external tables to populate.
- NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS setting can be changed using procedure for that particular session.
Is there a way to change NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS setting only for that particular mapping/mapping session?
Thanks,
SriGP

At this moment , this is not possible . You can see metalink note ID 268906.1.
It says:
Currently, external tables always use the setting of NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS
+at the database level.+

How to change date format in OBIEE

Hello
I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
Many thanks in advance!

Change default Calendar sharing level

Hi.
I'm trying to find a way of how to change the default sharing level of new users calenders. I have looked at the sharing policies but it seems to me that those are only for sharing outside the organization, at least I can't find a way of how to get these
working inside the organization.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way for me to set the default sharing level of all newly created users calenders automatically?
Best
Thomas

Hi,
By default, when we create a new user inside organization, Exchange will apply the default sharing policy to this new user automatically. We can check the default sharing policy by the following steps.
Logon EAC, navigate to organization > sharing.
Under Individual Sharing, select the default sharing a policy, and then click
Edit.
In sharing policy, check the box of Make this policy my default sharing policy.
You can use the same way to edit the default sharing policy.
Modify, disable, or remove a sharing policy

Database Level Tracing or Instance Level Tracing

Hello,
How do I know whether database level tracing or instance level tracing is enabled ? This is on 10g R2
Thanks,
R

I amnot sure that I have heard about instance level tracing but normally tracing is enabled either through sql_trace parameter set in the parameter file or through some trace event. So you need to check your parameter file for any such setting.

How to track any change at sharepoint site level

Hi,
I want to achieve is,
create an event receiver or workflow for a SharePoint Site so that any change made @ site level or site collection level which in turn may include any change at any list,library, everything @ site/site collection level----a mail should get fired to a certain
sharepoint group(Administrative).
I found that we can do this with "Change Log" but how?
Is it a list or library or what else?
How could i fire a mail when a new item gets added to it?

As an aside, you're asking for SharePoint to send an email to your administrators every time for every change. Given the number of changes in a typical SharePoint farm, this approach can lead to your administrators being flooded with emails. Some mail transfer
agents also have protections against this sort of activity and could drop mails to prevent your administrators from being spammed.
You should consider this if you plan to use these mails for auditing purposes. Another approach would be to log these changes to a database to ensure you don't lose anything.
SharePoint already has built-in auditing capabilities that you could leverage as well; most 3rd party SharePoint administrative suites include audit reporting.
