How to find whether remote database is up or not (connected via dblink)

Hi,
I am using dblink to connect Biz database from Dev database.(Biz, Dev - database names)
Running dbms job using the dblink from the Dev database to update data on Biz database...
Problem is dbms job should run if and only if the Biz database is up for which i created the dblink...
1) How to make sure or implement the check to find whether the Biz is database is up or not in Pl/sql or sql...
2) How to reschedule the dbms jobs once the database is up
pls suggest me how to find whether the database is up or not b4 running the dbms job?
Using- Oracle 10g

The only way to know whether the remote database is up (and whether the network between the two databases is up and whether the remote database's listener is up and whether the password configured in the database link is correct and whether the local TNS alias is correct, etc) would be to actually run a query against the remote database over the database link. In other words, the way to figure out whether the link is up is to let the job run and catch & handle exceptions when there are problems.
By default, a job scheduled via DBMS_JOB will automatically reschedule itself if there is an unhandled exception by geometrically backing off (it waits 1 minute after the first failure, 2 minutes after the second, 4, 8, 16, 32 minutes, etc until it's marked as broken after 16 failures). You could, of course, catch appropriate exceptions and handle them in a reasonable fashion and manually reschedule jobs at intervals that make more sense for your particular job.

How to find whether an application is installed or not

Is there any way to find whether an application is installed or not
and the path of the installed path
I got that with executing reg query from my java aplication but for that
reg tool should be installed ..
Is there any way to get without that

You can use an <installer-desc> to invoke
a class that asks the user where it is, and
if they do not know, or do not have it, it can
be installed at the time (assuming you can
provide an installer, appropriate for their OS).

Nobody knows whats the table is for....
Actually we were working with oracle 7.3 upto 2004. On 2004 we upgraded to 9iR2. May be the DBA in that time made some mistake.... i think so....thats why all these tables are still here....
I was not in the picture during that time.
Now my question is how can i know whether this table is necessary or not. I asked the developers here they said they are not using these tables. But my manager is afraid to delete these tables.
now what should i do?

Hi,
Yet another request to use my crystal ball.
We had one pc which is having oracle 9i enterprise manager configured(windows 2000) only to connect the db.
This remembers me of the Gospel of St. Luke, chapter 2, where it is stated,
'and they found the child in the manger'.
This resulted a Jewish theologian to remark: 'The manger? Well, so that must have been their own manger'
So what does 'the' db mean? The Linux one? Or a separate on Win2000?
It is quite possible to manage a Linux database using OEM on Win2000, with OMS on Win2000.
'But our server is not having enterprise manager'. Yet another riddle. Which server? There seem to be at least two.
1 Now if I drop these tables, will I be able to connect to our database using the windows2k pc through Enterprise Manager?
Yes, but only in standalone mode, and you can't use OEM alerts, and jobs anymore. You would be better off using Sqldeveloper, as OEM Sql worksheet is a nightmare.
2 That is your decision.
3
oemctl ping oms
will check whether you have an Oracle Management Server running.
You already seem to have the Enterprise Manager Repository, so you must have OMS running somewhere. (Why install the repository, if you don't use it)

How to find whether the patch is applied or not in SOA?

Dear Legends,
I need to find a given patch(13615085) is applied or not in SOA Environment(RAC). I do not have O/s Level access, so I cannot issue Opatch lsinventory.
I tried
select * from dba_registry_history; - nothing is displayed.
Thanks in Advance,
Karthik

To check patchs installed:
From Opatch
$ORACLE_HOME/Opatch> opatch lsinventory
From sql
select * from dba_registry_history;
*To execute Opatch you don't need root privileges, you can also do it from oracle user
If you don't see anything executing "select * from dba_registry_history;" You haven't any patch installed.

How to find whether an Invoice is been posted for a particular PO

Hi,
How to find whether an Invoice is been posted for a particular PO.
I have a scenario where I fetch data into an internal table T_CDHDR(It has PO and other details). For each and every entry(PO) in that internal table I have to see whether an Invoice is been posted or not. They told to use <b>EKBE(Purchasing document history)</b> table. But, I don't know which field to check for and based on what conditions.
Can someone help me with sample code or some valuable inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Paddu.

HI,
TABLE IS RIGHT.
IN THAT TABLE FOR THE FIELD BEWTP CHECK WHETHER ENTRY IS "Q".
Q STANDS FOR IR-L THAT MEANS INVOICE IS DONE.
ON THE SELECTION SCREEN OF EKBE TABLE ENTER THE PO NUMBER.
THEN CHECK WHETHER IT HAS ENTRY FOR BEWTP 'Q'.
YOU CAN CROSS-CHECK THIS DATA FROM TABLE WITH THAT IN ACTUAL PO IN T.CODE - ME23N.
ENTER PO NUMBER ,THEN IN ITEM DETAILS , IN HISTORY TAB SEE FOR THAT INVOICE NO.

Hi guys,Explain how to find whether the user request is dialog or bc ...

how to find whether the user request is dialog or bc or some other wp and where we can see that ?

Hello Damodar,
You can find out that in SM50.
However one piece of advice. I have noticed that you are raising lots of questions about very basic questions. Either you new to SAP or dont know anything about SAP Basis and want to get in this area. Or else you are preparing for some interview. In either of these cases expecting solutions given at SDN are not going to be of much help. Better read yorself in SAP Help as most people do. SDN should not be overly used for such purposes. Basic questions are welcome but you want to learn SAP through SDN !!!

How to find whether MIRO is done for a PO

Hi All,
Is there any indicator attached to POs that indicates whether MIRO is done for that PO?
I mean after PO creation in ME21N -> GR in MIGO -> Excise (if applicable) and -> MIRO... how to find whether MIRO is done for a particular PO?
Helpful tips will be gratefully rewarded...
Regards,
Karthik

See if an entry exist in EKBE for the PO Number and its items.
The complete process though is, to find the GR Quantity for each PO Item and see if it matches with the PO Item quantity.
SELECT EBELN
         EBELP
         MENGE
         LOEKZ
    FROM EKPO
    INTO TABLE LT_EKPO
   WHERE EBELN = P_EBELN.
IF NOT LT_EKPO[] IS INITIAL.
    SELECT EBELN
           EBELP
           MENGE
           BEWTP
           GJAHR
           BELNR
           BUZEI
           SHKZG
      FROM EKBE
      INTO TABLE LT_EKBE
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN LT_EKPO
     WHERE EBELN = LT_EKPO-EBELN
       AND EBELP = LT_EKPO-EBELP
       AND VGABE = '1'.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT LT_EKBE.
* Change the sign of the quantity for debit
    IF LT_EKBE-SHKZG = C_SHKZG_H.
      LT_EKBE-MENGE = -1 * LT_EKBE-MENGE.
    ENDIF.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING LT_EKBE TO LT_EKBE_SUM.
    COLLECT LT_EKBE_SUM INTO LT_EKBE_SUM.
    CLEAR LT_EKBE_SUM.
    ENDLOOP.
   loop at it_ekpo.
** For each line item, calculate the total GR Quanity
    READ TABLE LT_EKBE_SUM WITH KEY EBELN = LT_EKPO-EBELN
                                    EBELP = LT_AWKEY-EBELP.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
* If the PO Item Quantity is equal to GR Quantity
        IF LT_EKPO-MENGE <= LT_EKBE_SUM-MENGE.
* The PO Item can be considered completed GRed
        ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

How to find the Remote Desktop Client Version?

How to find the Remote Desktop Client Version in Lion? I'm asking because in starting up a mid 2011 MacBook Air, I ran Software Update, which determined that Remote Desktop Client version 3.5.1 was available. I wanted to find what the existing version (older than 3.5.1) that came with Lion was, but coudn't find it.
Thanks.

Get Info on:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
or if you have Apple Remote Desktop on an administrator system, you can see the workstation client versions by control-clicking in the header in the computer list and selecting to show the ARD version column.

How do I tell my browser how to find my remote site on cafe_townsend tutorial

Worked through the tutorial in Dreamweaver 8 and everything peachy. Browser fired up everytime I hit f12. Then I got to the part where I put my local files to the remote site and now my browser can't find the URL. There are some instructions about localhost:5800 for coldfusion but not sure what it means. What or where do I enter the magic information to let my IE8 in Windows 7 know how to find my remote web sight?
I sure could use some advice....Thanks Popeyebedford1 [email protected]

I know about that tab, but the problem is that the iPod carries those preferences with it from computer to computer. I do want it to automatically update when plugged into my iBook, but I don't want it to when I plug it into the old G4. Right now my iPod is linked to two different libraries when it should only be to one. I know I can work around this by changing the preferences every time I decide to plug my iPod from one computer to the other, but it seems a little unnecessarylike there should be an easy way to just stop the synching altogether on my old computer...
