Enable Block Change Tracking in 11gr2
Hi Team,
If my database file system is in ASM..Can I enable blk change tracking in local filesystem?
Or IS it better to do in ASM? Any new features in 11gr2?
Regards,
ManoharDo you plan running DUPLICATE against that DB?
If yes, you should place the Block Change Tracking File in a location that would enable you to effectively deal with this nasty bug:
"Bug 10193846 - RMAN duplicate fails with ORA-19755 when BCT file is not accessible [ID 10193846.8]"
Also, If you plan to use DUPLICATE, you should “name” your Block Change Tracking File, rather than going with the system name.
This advice applied only for 11gR2 versions that are affected by the bug.

How to multiplex the block change tracking file?
Hi,
I have a question to change block tracking feture.
The normal way to enable block change tracking would be:
ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING
USING FILE 'mydir/change_track.f'
REUSE;
What if my harddrive is gone?
Is there anyway to define more than one destinitaion like for archive log files?The difference is... archive log files can contain irreplaceable data.
With Block Change Tracking the data is not irreplaceable , just run full RMAN backup and then regen the file. <- IMHO -

2.how can i set a database area
Thanks,
Philip.Hi Anita,
i have 2 more problems which i have explained below.
1. i am running my oracle 10g in linux and after starting the listener, when i try to start the database using
"dbstart" command, i get following error
"Failed to auto-start Oracle Net Listener using /ade/vikrkuma_new/oracle/bin/tnslsnr"
i really have no idea what is this error and how to solve this erorr. Can you please help me. i have also posted a separate forum for this with the heading as
"dbstart" command error
2. my tnsservice name works sometimes and some other times it does not work at all.
at sqlplus prompt when i login as
sys/pwd@orcl as sysdba
sometimes it works fine, other times it gives me error similar to -- protocol could not identify this service name.
Thanks,

Ora-00439 enable block change tracing
Hi,
I am attempt to use the feature ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING and cannot obtain succefully. When I issue the statement:
sql> alter database enable block change tracking;
I get the error:
ORA-00439 - feature not enable
My estructure is: Red Rat 4 and Oracle 10.2.0.1
Samebody can help me?I suspect the message means that the feature is only available with the Enterprise Edition. Check the documentation for the standard edition.
If the feature is available with the standard edition then use the full syntax where you specifiy where you want the block change tracking file written to and see if that makes a difference. I believe the default with 10g is to go to the database flashback directory. If you did not configure one then that could be a problem. If you used the full syntax and do have a flashback area but that was not where you tried to place the file I would try defaulting it.
I lean to the feature not being available in your version.

RMAN block change tracking doubt
hi guys,
I want to speed up my RMAN incremental backup.So i decide to enable the block change tracking mechanism. How to implement it ? Should i create any file or set any parameters? plz guide me...

Block change tracking and Backup size
DB Version : 10gRelease
We have a Differential Incremental Backup strategy with Recovery Window retention policy. I haven't enabled BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING. Just would like to know if the backup size of both Level 0 and Level1 backups become smaller by enabling Block Change Tracking. Or is it just Level 1 backups' size which is going to decrease?
Thank you.An excerpt from Oracle RMAN 11g Backup and Recovery by Robert G. Freeman & Matthew Hart
ISBN: 978-0-07-162861-7
The Block Change Tracking File
By default, when doing an incremental backup, any datafile that has changed in any way will be
backed up. This can make incremental backups take longer and will make them larger. RMAN
offers the ability to just back up changed database blocks. +This can make your incremental+
+database backups much smaller and shorter.+ To enable block change tracking, issue the command
alter database enable block change tracking. The result of this command will be the creation of a
file called the block change tracking file (BCTF).Checkout the word smaller.
Two things:
A. This is not Official oracle documentation ( Oracle press though)
B. This book is about 11g. I don't know if BCTF makes backups smaller in 11G. -
Hello,
I have a Oracle 10.1.0.5.0 on Windows 2003. My need to enable block change tracking. So I login SQL PLUS as sysdba:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING USING FILE
'HOME/DB_INSTANCE/BLOCK_CHANGE.TRC';
ALTER DATABASE ENABLE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Block Change Tracking.
I have read some documentations and this is command I should use. Please help me where I can enable this feature.
Many thanks!According to the metalink note 271197.1, the fast incremental feature is not included in the Standard Edition.
As suggested earlier, check the Edition you are working on.

How do I create a track with just controller MIDI data in it?
How can I create a track with just MIDI controller data in it?
For example: I'd like to create a track that issues a bank change/patch change and sets the default volume for that track, and that's it.
I can then use this setup as a template for future projects.
How can I do this?
It seems like LPX will not allow me to enter any controller data into a track without first defining a region. However, it seems that LPX also won't allow me to create a region with just controller data in it.
Ideas?
Thanks

Let me qualify, I'm using Logic 9, not upgrading for various reasons.
Is this for an external Instrument? If so it's very easy to do using the inspector, but first you have to create an instrument in the environment. (at least in L9 and the way I do it, which is old school) Here's an example of an external instrument setup in the Environment.
A multi Instrument is created, channels 1, 2, 3, & 9 are active. Patch names are entered, format for bank change is selected. (just happens I selected channel 14 to open the patch names). This Instrument will now appear in the arrange page, and you can set patch change, bank change, volume & pan. -
How to enable users change password in obiee 11g?
Is there anyone know how to enable users change password in obiee 11g?
And I have tried the method in obiee 10g, bu it didn't work.
Any help would be appreciate.As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

How to enable History changes in VL02N
Hi
I'm a bit confused for I feel like asking a basic question but I have'nt founf the answer after a lon search on ggogle ans SCN.
The question is : how to enable histroy changes display on VL02N or VL03N ?
I am sure that change log is on because some users can access this option.
But for others, the option "changes" is grey in the "Environment" menu.
I guess this is an athorization issue but I can't find how to fix it (no SU53 for is not possible to click on the option).
I have checked the role : All activities are ticked for object S_SCD0.
What did I miss ?Hi Serge,
Do you have track changes active for delivery documents? Are there users that do not have the field grayed out?

You can look at the blog or I can email you the document .
Here are some of the tips from the blog
Hope this will solve your problem.
Change Tracking is a feature in SAP MDM, Using which we can track history of table records for the repositories. There are three are options, Track Adds, is track new field value when a record added. Track Modifies, track old and new values when the field is modified. Track Deletes, tacks old-field value when a record is deleted. In addition, for each type of change you can track, the setting of the root node of the Tables and Fields hierarchy determines the default setting for new tables added to the MDM repository. Similarly, for normal tables, the setting for each table node determines the default setting for new fields added to the table. Finally, the setting for each field node determines the actual setting for the field
Step I>>Activate Change Tracking.
Navigate the Selected repository,
(your repository)>Admin>Change Tracking.
Click on Change Tracking, you will get Change Tracking Setting screen. Then choose the level of tracking root node of Table and Fields. In addition, there are three type tracking. That are Track Adds>>this option tracks new field value when a record is added, Track Modifies >> this option tracks old and new values when the field is modified, and Track Deletes >> this option tracks old field value when a record is deleted
Step III>>Logon to MS SQL Server
Start>Programs>Microsofr SQL Server-->Enterprise Manager,See the screen shot below for SQL Server logon.
You will get the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. See the screen below. Select the Database for the respective Repository (BP3_Customer_Workshop). For the each repository, there are two databases XXXX_m000 and XXXX_z000.
There are two databases CustomerWorkshop_M000 and CustomerWorkshop_Z000
Select the table A2i_CM_History under the CustomerWorkshop_Z000 and select query as below screen.
Choose/select the fields that you want execute the report/show.
You can find the record, which I (the user name 'mdmg') have edited at 9/6/2006 11:44:39, as seen below screen

How to edit both audio tracks with video that has two tracks?
I have video that has 2 tracks with it. Both however are marked ch. 1 on the premiere timeline. The properties say they are 48000 hz audio. Now when i hilight both tracks and right click to edit in Audition, only one comes over. I am wondering a few things here. Why are they both the same channel and how can i edit both of them at once since they ae exactly the same in Audition? Do i even need both tracks?
Well, that's another nasty problem with multicam editing in PP. It cuts only the video but not both. The audio track is always that of the first selected clip (of that in the first video track) when I create a multicam sequence. I have manually to open it in the timeline, enable or disable certain audio tracks, go back to the sequence and cut. But when I have to switch the audio for only some camera angles it is impossible, because I can only change the audio track for the whole sequence. Or do I miss something? Maybe it is another cool "design feature"?
