How to exclude tablespace UNDOTBS1 from backup in OEM

I use OEM to backup our database (11.2 on Redhat 2.6.18-92.el5 ). It take quite a bit time and disk space (32gb) to backup the UNDOTBS1 table space. I do not think that we need undo tablespace for a recovery. If this is correct how can I excludeit from the backup. OEM allow to exclude data tablespace from backup but not UNDOTBS1.
Thanks

To create a physical standby you need the entire database. Not just parts of it. The only thing at the standby system that will be different is the controlfile (it will be a standby controlfile) and the spfile. Everything else will be exactly the same. Locations of the files can differ of course if you set the appropriate parameters.
Please make sure you have read Chapter 3 "http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10700/create_ps.htm#i63561" of the Data Guard Concepts and Administration manual.
You can use the RMAN qualifier FROM ACTIVE DATABASE to the DUPLICATE FOR STANDBY command to avoid the need for interim storage for the backup. That method streams the backup from the Primary directly into the standby server. Refer to Chapter 2 of our book "Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook (http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Guard-Handbook-Osborne-ORACLE/dp/0071621113)" for details.
Since you are using OEM, make sure you are using 10.2.0.4/5 Grid Control. The Data Guard standby creation wizard has a new option to use this RMAN option. It is the first selection on the type of backup page. (To get to the DG pages select your Primary database from the Database Targets page and then select the Availability tab, and then under Data Guard select the Add Standby Database link).
As for block change tracking, since we all thought you were just doing a backup and did not realize you were trying to create standby BCT can help make it faster. However it does not apply in this case.

How to exclude salary arrears from pension deduction?

I have setup a pension retro element and its calculating the retro amount correctly.
However, its using sum of salary arrears (say,arrears for the month of March and April) and adding that to May salary and deducting pension on the total sum.
(we do not want this, we want only May salary to be considered for pension retro element)
Does anyone know how to exclude salary arrears from pension deduction element? Is there any obvious step, which I am missing in while defining the element?

Hi,
While doing retro for arrears, it will give at a time in one payroll only, no standard for installment payments.
2nd option:
Calculate the Total Arrears amount and divide it by four installments and through IT 0014 with New wage type and give for 4 months as start and end date.
* you have to create a new wage type which is taxable and assigned to IT 0014.
* add this new wt in Remuneration form in Earnings side.

Is there any way to remove my hard drive with backup files in it from the exclude these items from backups???

I currently have a MacBook Air and a 1TB external hard drive, and I run my iPhoto Library from the EHD and as well have TM backup my computer to that same HD. The problem I have is that I don't have a backup of that HD which has all my photos and other media, so If the HD takes a crap I can be in big trouble.
So what I did is I purchased a new HD (My Cloud from WD) to back up my EHD. While setting everything up I ran into this
TM included the EHD in the "Exclude these items from backup" list and I can't touch them, and I tried everything. I later found this
The last sentence of #3 states why I can't.... Since the EHD has a backup file in it, it is excluded.
So..... Does anybody have any idea of a way around this? Would I have to restart everything and set it up different? Or just have a better and easier way of doing this?? I'll appreciate any help and suggestions.

What you need, is a dedicated image restauration filter that recognized the regular frequency pattern superimposed onto the prints. You can do this in advanced Image processing packages that let you compute the fourier transform of the image and then suppress or attanuate the frequency bands of the artefact with a band-stop filter.
But neither Aperture nor PhotoShop have this kind of filter. In Aperture and Photoshop you can only soften the effect by blurring and then exporting a smaller version of the image.
The algorithm that your scanner uses is probably the best that can be done, even if the resolution is only 100 dpi.
Do you still have the negatives? Scanning the negatives at a high resolution may give you better results.

How do I get photos from backup external drive on to my new hard drive?

How do I get photos from backup external drive on to my new hard drive on my MacBook

How did you use this backup drive? Was this a Time Machine backup, or just an external drive to which you copied files?
I assume your photos were in iPhoto. If you're just talking a bunch of JPEG files you can just drag them wherever you like, otherwise:

How to exclude some tables from schema level replicatio????

Hi,
I am working on oracle10g stream replication.
My replication type is "Schema Based".
So can anyone assist me to undersatnd, how to exclude some tables from schema based replication.
Thanks,
Faziarain

You can use rules and include them in the rule set, lets say you dont want LCR to be queued for table_1 in schema SALES, write two rules one for DDL and another for DML with NOT logical condition.
DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_RULE(
rule_name => 'admin.SALES_not_TALBE_1_dml', condition => ' (:dml.get_object_owner() = ''SALES'' AND NOT ' ||
' :dml.get_object_name() = ''REGIONS'') AND ' ||
' :dml.is_null_tag() = ''Y'' ');
DBMS_RULE_ADM.CREATE_RULE(
rule_name => 'admin.hr_not_regions_dlll',
condition => ' (:dml.get_object_owner() = ''SALES'' AND NOT ' ||
' :ddl.get_object_name() = ''table_!'') AND ' ||
' :dsl.is_null_tag() = ''Y'' ');
just go through this document once, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28321/strms_rules.htm#i1017376

Time machine "Exclude these items from backups" keeps re-adding my external drive

I have several external hard drives that contain data I wish to backup. With Lion I had them removed from the "Exclude these items from backups" list and all was well.
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have been not so lucky. I was able to keep one out of the list by turning off Time Machine, removing the disk from the list of items to exclude from backup, then turning Time Machine back on. I have one external drive, however, that will not remove. The steps I'md oing are:
Open Options under Time Machine
Select "FreeAgent" and click on the minus sign and it dissapears from the list.
Click Save
Open Options again and "FreeAgent" is back in the list.
If I turn off Time Machine and do these steps it still goes back in.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks

Time Machine usually won't show a drive that's not conneted in that list.
Can you remove it from the list while it's connected?
If so, but it still comes back, the preferences file (where that's kept) may be damaged. Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

How to exclude schema name from exported files (PL SQL Developer)

Dear all,
Just one question: I am using PL SQL Developer. My goal is to export some data (as .sql and .dmp files) from one database and to import them into the another database (both databases have identical structure - test database and production, just different database names and names of schema. In order to make it possible, I need to exclude schema name from generated export file. I believe that it is possible to do it automatically by setting up parameters of PL SQL Developer. How?
Thank you in advance,
Kindest regards,
Dragana

In the meantime, I have found the answer on my previous question:
Actually, the initial idea (how to exclude schema name from exported files) was wrong. No need for any intervention.
Trick is: Schema name can be changed during the import of exported files (PL SQL Developer during import gives possibility: From User (old schema) To User (new schema) .
Hope that this will be useful info for others.

The backupsets will be restored into a new server with different file structure. The database will also be different. In the new server, I have created a blank database (SID or CUSTOM database with the name DBGRID). This is easier so I won't have to create any directories, user ORADIM or create new PWFile.
This document assumes that a blank (starter) database has been created in the new server. The RDBMS version is the same as the source database.
In this example, the source database name is GALAXY and the target database name is DBGRID.
Let me know if you have any feedback or comments. All I want is to share these steps with you and make it better so we can help other DBA's as well.

I'm looking for a way to exclude iTunes movie rentals from being backed up to my time capsule. I know that I can exclude directories, but I don't know the specific directory of rentals. Plus, I still want to backup my iTunes files, including purchased videos, just not the rentals.
Hopefully Apple will see this as a no brainer and provide some drill down capabilities in time machine to do some smarter excludes.
Any thoughts from the masses?

I'm looking for how to exclude podcasts from being backed up. I know how to keep individual podcasts from backing up; but I can't figure out how to exclude them as a category. Any ideas?
Thanks,

2. search for "Michael" on the top global search
3. on the search results page click on the name (link).
4. you will see Michael's web app item not the actuall page it resides in (http://kinship.businesscatalyst.com/About/the-team)
How to avoid getting web app results in search?
Thanks
Micha

Hi Micha
Just add “&OT=35 “ at the end of the action in your search form:
Ex:
<form name=”xxxx” method=”post” action=”/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=3566&ID=/results&OT=35”>
<div class=”search-box”><input type=”text” class= ............../>
<input type=”submit” class=”cat_button” value=”search” />
</div>
</form>
Here are the rest of the content types IDs, should you come across similar situations in the future:
Web Pages = 1
Literature = 6
Announcements = 7
FAQs = 9
Forums = 43
Blogs = 55
Web Apps = 35
Catalogs = 26
Bookings = 48
You can exclude multiple areas from a search, simply list them with commas: &OT=35,1,6

How to exclude tablespace in logical standby database

Dear all,
In which way does the creation procedure of a logical standby database differ than the standard ORA9.2 procedure (http://www.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.to_pdf?pathname=server.920%2Fa96653.pdf&remark=docindex) if I want to exclude a tablespace in my standby database?
Excluding tablespace in physical standby database is impossible.
Thanks in advance.

The goal of a stand by database is to become a clone fed online with transactions coming from the active database. If the cloned database in a physical dataguard configuration diverges from the active database it is useless, as transaction control takes place at a lower level (physical addresses are involved).

Hi,
do you make a copy of a predefined container ?
You cannot modify objects in the predefined source system containers either through the DAC Client or directly through SQL statements to the DAC repository. You must make a copy of a predefined container in order to make any changes to it.
You could see how to create a copy of a predefined container in the Oracle DAC documentation : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/fusionapps.1111/e14849/dacquickstart.htm#BABJIIBB
Hope it helps,

How to exclude particular IPC from Rebates

Dear SDN Team,
Customer want to create some rebate in order to pay later on a promotional basis for the particular IPC.
But they want to apply accruals on all IPC but by excluding particular IPC from Rebates, How to exclude the particular IPC from Rebates.
Because customer want to exclude one IPC of the rebates calculation for only one rebates -
Any Idea.
For the above request i have suggested below solution - But it does not resolve their problems. But User is expecting further any other idea in order to resolve the above requirement.
First Solution:
In order to exclude the IPC for Ecopia from the rebates calculation- this can be done by setting the Material group in the Material Master - Basic Data1 view and you can exclude these IPC's while creating the condition records in the Rebate Agreement type. By doing this we can exclude the rebates for the Ecopia tyres.
Second alternative: If you have already created the Rebate condition record for the Ecopia tyres then you can set the deletion indicator flag in the rebate condition for the particular IPC.
Can you suggest any ideas in order to resolve this problem.
Looking for your feedback.
Thanks and Regards,
Jana

Dear,
even if was not clear about the type of material you were reffering to, I analysed your request and I consider that you may proceed as follow.
To achieve this result you do NOT have to modify the material master.
Assumptions taken:
A- you have to exclude only one material from the rebate calculation for only one rebate
B- all other rebates do not have to be impacted by this exceptional rebate configuration
C- material nr1 is the material to exclude
D- material nr1 has a product hierarchy 00X (Line X)
Procedure to achieve the objective:
1) create a promotional rebate (RebateA) for the full Line X and set it relevant for accrual (define a percentage for accrual)
2) create a promotional rebate (RebateB) for the single material nr1 and set it NOT relevant for accrual (no percentage for accrual)
3) set the same percentage to pay or amount to pay to the customer in both rebates (A & B)
4) set the same validity start-to for both rebates (A & B)
5) define a percentage of accrual only for the first rebate (A only)
The second rebate created (RebateB) will help in order to pay the right amount to the final customer.
In order to perform a final settlement you will have IDEALLY simply subtract the values: RebateA - RebateB.
There is no standard way to exclude single material from a single rebate without impacting the other active rebates.
Of course, modify the material master is not the solution. Any change in material master will impact also open rebates and future rebates.
For these reasons here above there is a business scenario you may apply to achieve the objective and it will not take a lot of time to maintain it.
In case of questions or doubts to not hesitate to post your answer back to this post.
Regards,

How to exclude certain playlists from being shuffled?

I have Video IPOD and would like to know how to exclude certain play lists from being played when the "shuffle song" function is on?
Appreciate your help.

Going back to the beginning I think I misinterpretted your original question. I thought you wanted to be able to turn on the Shuffle Songs function of the iPod and when you played any playlist it would shuffle normally but you wanted to have some playlists that would play without shuffling without having to turn off that function.
Now I think what you wanted to say was you want to shuffle song when playing your library on the iPod but if certain songs exist in your "do not shuffle" playlist, they would be skipped, right?
If that is the case, you can do it with some Smart playlist manipulation. First create the "Do Not Shuffle" playlist and put everything in there that you do not want to show up when you are shuffle playing your library. Now create a new Smart Playlist where the rules are "Playlist IS NOT [do not shuffle]". Make that the only rule, check live updating and only checked songs. What will happen is that playlist will contain your entire library EXCEPT the ones you don't want shuffle played.
Now when you listen to your iPod, you can use the Shuffle Songs option turned ON and play that smart playlist which will basically let you hear anything and everything in your library shuffled EXCEPT for those songs you designated to not include.
