How to tell if a user is issuing 'alter session statements'

When I run 'alter session' from sqlplus in my schema, this does not get parsed and go to v$sql or show up in v$open_cursor. I have a user that is running queries from informatica. He says he is passing alter session statements through informatica, I want to see if they actually get there. The person is not real versed in oracle and I don't know informatica.
i cant turn on trace cause he connects and disconnects and this would run immediately, I am not in a position to turn on system level tracing, add a trigger, or turn on auditing (not allowed).
anyway to tell from a data dictionary view or something like that if these were issued by a given session? The queries run for a few minutes, so I have a bit before his session disconnects to query the data. I can't get him to change his code to stay connected. Is there a view that shows parameter changes for a given session?
oracle: 10.2.0.5
4 alter session commands are:
Alter session set sort_area_size=999999999;
Alter session set hash_area_size=999999999;
Alter session set db_file_multiblock_read_count = 128;
alter session enable parallel dml;

i cant turn on trace cause he connects and disconnects and this would run immediately, I am not in a position to turn on system level tracing, add a trigger, or turn on auditing (not allowed). If Informatica connects to Oracle via network, capturing TCP/IP traffic and mining in it may be your last resort.
you can get session's PDML status from
select pdml_status from v$session;
i cant turn on trace cause he connects and disconnects and this would run immediatelythis contradicts to your following statement
The queries run for a few minutes, so I have a bit before his session disconnects to query the data.
I can't get him to change his code to stay connected. Informatica should have debug. Ask him if he can go step by step.

How to tell if a user has logged in to teststand

I am using a custom LV UI. I would like to know if there is a way to tell if the user has clicked the cancel button on the standard TS login. I would like to keep using the standard TS login if possible.
Thanks
Joe.
"NOTHING IS EVER EASY"

Hi Joe,
Unfortunately, the default TestStand login code uses a TestStand engine method (DisplayLoginDialog) to handle this dialog box. The method returns a user object based on the user's selections, and cannot be modified. However, a clone of theTestStand login code developed in LabVIEW can be downloaded from the developer zone. This set of VIs does not use this method, and will allow you to configure what data is returned by the dialog.The files can be downloaded here:
LabVIEW based Login Reference Example for Teststand
Let me know if you need any help configuring this code, and I'll be happy to help!

How to Re-Authenticate an user to an active session

Hi frns,
Following is my existing flow.
Initially the user logs in with valid usename and password. He will do some transactions in the application. Meanwhile if he is idle for more than 15 minutes, the current session will be lost and then if he wants to continue with the application he will be forcefully sent to the login page to get authenticated once again.Now we have to start the transaction freshly.
Following is my new requirement.
While doing some transaction,If the user is idle for more than 15 mins,one authentication jsp page should be displayed on the current screen asking the user to enter usename and password once aagain. If the authentication is succeeded then he should get back to the same screen previously he is doing transaction and allow the user to continue the transaction.
Here two scenarios should be considered.
1) The Re-Authentication screen should be displayed on the top of the screen in which he is idle for more than 15 mins.
2) If the Re-Authentication succeeds, then user should be allowed to continue the transaction in which he is idle previously.
Please help me in this regard. Very urgent...
Thanks,
Srinivas.

The idea is to seperate the session management from the security management.
We want the user's sessions to last for a long time but there still needs to be an upward limit. So a good limit is four hours. This allows a user to go to a meeting or to lunch and then return and pick up where he left off. So we set the session time on on the server to four hours.
However if there is fifteen minutes of inactivity we want the user to re-authenticate himself. So if the user goes to lunch we don't want some one to be able to access his session. This is different from expiring the session. We don't expire the sesion but we expire the user access to the session.
So we create a security module that handles all user authentication. We creat this module as a Servlet Filter so that all requests have to pass through the module. On initial request we redirect the user to a log in page where he provides his username and password. On authenitcation we create a user object that we store in the session. We also store the date/time that the request was made in a hashmap using the session or session id as the key.
On subsequent requets we can chedk for the existance of this object to see if the user has been authentcated. If the user object exists we retrieve the date/time of the last request and check to see if fifteen minutes has expire between requests. If the time difference is less than fifteen minutes we store the new time in the hasmap. if the time difference is greater that fifteen minutes we redirect the user to a log in page.
There are certain mantainance actions that wlll need to be done:
1: Removing expired session entries from the hashmap using HttpSessionListener.
2: Differenciating a normal request from a re-authorization request
3: Forwarding the user to request resource after re-authorization

How to tell if iphone user is secretly using the iphone

Ipbone usage -- if somebody was sneaking and hiding what they were doing on their phone ie -- instant message thru email vs phone call or text message which will record on phone bill, or using other apps or ? what ever means one could sneak around with-- would it be obvious in the iphones diagnostic and usage dATA ???? by looking at the history would there be a way to dicepher or would it more likely be some jigsaw puzzle ?

Put a passcode on it and don't give the passcode to anyone. Then you will know that no one is using the phone. If the phone in question is not yours, then whether they are using it secretly or openly is probably outside of your control.

Alter Session, same user

Good night community,
I have issued a command Alter Session to set a different NLS_DATE_FORMAT for only one session of an user but, the other sessions of the same user (yes, the application here use all the same database user) got the changes.
Is that predictable to happen? Is there a clausule to issue Alter Session only for a specific session of that user?
Thank you very much!
PS: If this is not the right place to ask this, could you move it? Thank you very much!

Show us the proof that you got that result. Post your 4 digit Oracle version and show us the sql*plus sessions you have created and the actual ALTER SESSION command you executed.
ALTER SESSION has NO affect on other sessions whether those 'other' sessions are for the same user or not. A 'user' is NOT a session.

HT204053 How do I create an Apple ID for my kids which are linked to my Apple ID so that they can make purchases without me having to tell them my user/password?

How do I create an Apple ID for my kids which are linked to my Apple ID so that they can make purchases without me having to tell them my user/password?

Welcome to the community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

Email addresses into what?
Each user should have their own account and password to log in. Each is independent of the other. So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail.
That's the way it should be set up. Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account? If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts. But everything else in the system is shared.

How to tell Apple to stop harrasing users to update to the new iWork

I am reposting my reply in one of the discussions on iWork here as a new thread, hoping to get more direct help with my renewed concerns about iWork update.
We all have our own field of profession, our own workload and deadlines to meet.... I don't think it's ethical for Apple to dump that responsibility to users.
It's Apple's responsibility to make sure their updates don't leave out the features that users of the old version had invested their precious time / money in -- especially if Apple relentlessly pushes users to upgrade
It's been **** ever since my upgrade to new iWork. Long story short, I was back to iwork 9, after many trips to apple store, many hours reading and trying out various suggestions from forum discussion, and much headaches and loss of productivity....
After all that, you think Apple would leave you alone? No. Last week, I could not open my files that I need for my work beause an automatic update was running for me DESPITE the fact that a genious bar guy helped to make sure No AUTOMATIC UPDATE is selected in my system preference.
Now, I am back again with iWork 09, I want to keep it that way until Apple comes up with a sensible/responsible iWork update ...
But I am worried that the new version will be back on me, causing disruption again ... because I still see everyday Apple's notification urging me to update.
Please help me find out: How to tell Apple to stop harrasing users to update to their new iWork ?
How to hold Apple accountable ?
Your attention and suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Peter,
Thank you for your response. I know what you meant, and don't disagree with most of you said. Just wanted to avoid sending conflicting info to Razor06, I thought I'd make the following kind of counter points:
I am doing fine with my old Pages now, but not after frustrating weeks caught in between the 2 versions of Pages... In my experience, when both versions of Pages were running in my hard drive, the New version overtook the task every time... I could not get out of the trap until after I moved the New version to an external drive.
I used the word 'corrupted' facetiously to refer to the files that were opened by the New version
You were right: no need to re-save the old files that are not touched by the new version.... I said the same thing, but perhaps not as clearly ...
Apple does send me update notifications from time to time, because I only turned off the Auto Update. I did not turn off the Auto Check because I thought I still need it.
Totally see your points, no disagreement here:
         " Just get this straight:
                There are old files and software, and new files and software.
                The old can't open the new. "
Thanks again !

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed

Hello, we are trying to accomplish the same thing that is mentioned in this post from Metalink. I've searched for a solution and hope someone here can help. Instead of restating the issue I think David Wilson does a good job of explaining what is needed. Can anyone please suggest a possible solution?

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Hi,
We run an oracle 10g forms application through 9iAS over an intranet. All users are running windows 2000 professional.
We run separate frame = true but I would like to switch to separate frame = false
With separate frame = true if the user clicks the outer windows "X" close button (forms mdi window) the user is prompted to save changes before the application ends.
BUT
when using separate frame = false
If the user clicks the upper window "X" button (no longer form mdi window but regular browser window) the window and application is abruptly closed.
I'm interested in using a onbeforeunload function to confirm if the user wants to close the window. This would be placed in the basejini.htm file. This could always ask if the user wants to exit or not. If they click OK then the window closes but if they click "Cancel" you are returned to the forms application exactly where you left. something like event.returnvalue="do you really want to exit?";
However if the user exited using the normal exit form method then the applet is already closed before the onbeforeunoad event fires and there is nothing to go back to and I want the window to close automatically. This is accomplished using close.html file in post forms trigger.
So what I want and what I think many may also want is the check if the embedded applet is still running and if so prompt the user to return to the application or continue to close. Of course If the applet is no longer running then just close because there is no reason confirm closing anymore.
Does anyone have a html/JavaScript solution that can be placed in the jinitiator.htm file? or similar?
Thank you
David

Subject: Re : How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Thank you for your reply and yes you did not understand my question fully.
Sorry if this is a long reply
I am able to close the browser window using information in notes 115905.1 and 201481.1, this is not the issue. We implemented this several years ago. It is workable for both separate frame = true or false.
It is most important to not allow the user to end their forms application by closing the windows browser, they must close using normal form exit commands.
What I want is to have separate frame = false, the big drawback to this option is the user can exit the application and bypass all forms code by pressing the windows "X" close button. This is why we need the code as just provided by Andrew Lenton above in this thread.
BUT Andrew's code will always prompt the user before closing the window and I do not want that. I want the user to be prompted only under scenario 2 listed below.
Here's the 2 case scenario for exiting the application.
1. If the user closes properly and uses exit form which fires all normal form triggers including post_form with it's call to close.html file.
All uncommitted changes are saved or rollback and the users session is ended normally both on the database and in the application server.
All browser windows will close, great all is good. And without Andrew's code the window will close but with Andrew's code the user will be prompted to close or not, if they select Cancel the window will remain but the applet has already ended so why prompt? ...This is what I want to avoid.
2. In the forms app. if the user clicks the windows "X" close button with uncommitted changes. The browser just closes the changes are rollback without prompting the user to save. The users sessions are now lost and still running in the database and application server until they are timed out.
If I use Andrew's code then the user will be prompted to continue to close or go back, if they click Cancel to go back then focus returns to the forms application and the user can continue to work. If the user clicks OK then the window closes and unfortunately their sessions are still lost until timed out.
So what I desire is to add to Andrew's code to check if the embedded applet is still running and prompt the user to close or not accordingly.
Something like:
Basejini.htm like
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function maximizeWindow()
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
function confirm(){
If(document.embeddedapplet.closed())
Win.opener = self;
win.close();
Else if
event.returnValue = "Closing Forms Application. OK to continue?";
</SCRIPT>
<BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%, onload="maximizeWindow()", onbeforeunload="confirm()">
%HTMLbeforeForm%
I hope this explains my requirements.

Closing thread.
Thanks,

Hello,
I had the same issue last year - wanting to provide a warning on closing the browser, but only if the Forms session is still running. The approach I took is described below, see also the thread where I originally posted this at Closing brower window
Hi there,I've had a similar requirement - or rather, the two conflicting requirements: to warn when the browser is being closed, but for the app to be able to close the browser without a warning being fired.
To always provide a warning when someone (the user or the Forms app) tries to go to a different page (e.g. your close.htm), use Javascript like:
function confirmExit(){
if(appletRunning==true) {
msg="Closing this window or navigating to another page will end your SomeGreatApp session.";
window.event.returnValue=msg;
And make a call to confirmExit() in the onBeforeUnload event of your main page.
You'll notice I first check an 'appletRunning' variable before displaying the warning. This Javascript variable is set to true by my app when it starts up, using an embedded Javabean that calls out to Javascript. Once that variable is set to true, then the warning will be displayed if the user tries to shut the browser by clicking on the 'x' button, or to go to a different URL.
When my app is shutting down, it uses the same Javabean to set appletRunning back to false. It then navigates to a close.htm - which will be done without a warning being displayed.
See Re: How can a Javabean call Javascript function of the basejpi.html?? for example code on how to call Javascript from a bean embedded in your Forms app.
Hope these ideas help you out, it's worked for me (so far, anyway!!)
