The output from md5sum is what it should be.
I gather that these multiple 2 gig files create one big 22 gig file.
And that the information on all the files is actually found on the last file.
I've tried multiple unzip commands to unzip them, to no avail.
Notes below.
What is the exact Linux command and syntax to unzip them?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, after successfully unzipping on Windows before, I
knew that I could use Windows as a possible work around.
However. Windows is NTFS. Redhat does not work with it.
So, at least two 20 gig copies would be required.
To FAT32.
Then to ext4.
Each a different file system.
Check sum errors anyone?
The idea of contacting Oracle was to hopefully
get in contact with the people who originally
created the zip archive.
If they ran the commands to:
22 gig file -> 11 file archive of 2 gig files
You would think that they would also know how to:
11 file archive of 2 gig files -> 22 gig file
Is anyone in contact with them?
If so, what is the the correct answer?

How to Unzip a Mac OS X Archive in Java

I have a JAR with install pieces that I'm unzipping during installation. Simple enough. Except that one of them is a little OS X utility app & the app doesn't work. It seems that OS X includes "extras" under the file "MACOSX__", which is visible in the archive (causes non-Mac uses no end of annoyance). Unzipping the archive in the Mac's Finder or via the Mac's command line uncompresses the stuff correctly, but in Java, there's no inherent knowledge of the Mac parts. So is there a technical page on that somewhere? How can I restore the "MACOSX__" stuff so that the compressed app actually runs again?
Thanks, Dan

UnZipping an archive with folders inside

Hello, everyone.
A friend of mine asked me to create him an "auto-downloader" type of program, to download a ZIP archive, then extract the information to the user's computer (no, it is not harmful).
Anyways, I've been trying mutliple ways, and I've come pretty far with the one I'm currently using. The only problem is, I'm using user.home as the file location for the zip, and creating a folder in there seems to just not want to work. This is the only way I could think of doing it, but I'm sure there are easier ways.. here's what I'm using:

}Here's the ZIP archive I'm trying to download: http://www.2shared.com/file/Qu1cSWcl/cache.html
If what I've said before doesn't make sense (mind you me, it's 4 am and I'm about to crawl into bed), then I'll try to sum it up in a few short words below.
I'm trying to extract a ZIP archive with folders, every time I do, it stops halfway through and throws an error similar to this:
invalid cache index specified
..\animations\raw
java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\animations\raw (The system cannot find the pat
h specified)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)

        at Updater.get(Updater.java:64)
        at Client.main(Client.java:2548)
Press any key to continue . . .I'm just trying to be able to extract cache (ZIP ARCHIVE) which has folders inside. I've tried creating a directory for the folder, but it seems to not work, hence the "?" in the above error (i printed that if the directory failed to create a new directory, as seen in my above code). Once again, sorry if this isn't as understandable as it should be, I'm not myself without sleep :)
Also, do ignore the first print, 'invalid cache index specified', it's not related to the problem.

So your question is really about how to make a directory, then. Nothing at all to do with unzipping of archives.
If you can't create a directory, then perhaps there is some permissions problem. You don't have the authority to create directories in some directory. Or perhaps you're trying to use a name which isn't a valid directory name in your system. Or... there are many other possibilities. But anyway I recommend tossing all of that unzipping business out of your program and just trying to write something which creates a directory. Debug that first.

Unzipping the archive doesn't work

Hi all,
I just downloaded both windows versions of the new release of the program but when I try to unzip the archive it gives an error.
I tried with winrar, zipgenius and zipcentral but none of them are able to unzip it.
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks

That would be a CRC error. I'd say: download again, since mine (and everybody else's) works correctly. However you say you got the same problem with the one that has the JDK included... is the extraction failing on the same file? If so, maybe someone at Oracle is fondling with the files? If not, I'd say you got really bad luck or a really bad Internet connection (so keep trying until you get it right).

*HOW TO DELETE THE ARCHIVE LOGS ON THE STANDBY*

HOW TO DELETE THE ARCHIVE LOGS ON THE STANDBY
I have set the RMAN CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY; on my physical standby server.
My archivelog files are not deleted on standby.
I have set the CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default on the Primary server.
I've checked the archivelogs with the FRA and they are not beign deleted on the STANDBY. Do I have to do something for the configuation to take effect? Like run a RMAN backup?
I've done a lot ofresearch and i'm getting mixed answers. Please help. Thanks in advanced.
J

Setting the Policy will not delete the Archive logs on the Standby. ( I found a thread where the Data Guard product manager says "The deletion policy on both sides will do what you want" ). However I still
like to clean them off with RMAN.
I would use RMAN to delete them so that it can use that Policy are you are protected in case of Gap, transport issue etc.
There are many ways to do this. You can simply run RMAN and have it clean out the Archive.
Example :
#!/bin/bash
# Name: db_rman_arch_standby.sh
# Purpose: Database rman backup
# Usage : db_rman_arch_standby <DBNAME>
if [ "$1" ]
then DBNAME=$1
else
echo "basename $0 : Syntax error : use . db_rman_full <DBNAME> "
exit 1
fi
. /u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/env/${DBNAME}.env
echo ${DBNAME}
MAILHEADER="Archive_cleanup_on_STANDBY_${DBNAME}"
echo "Starting RMAN..."
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / catalog <user>/<password>@<catalog> << EOF
delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-8';
exit
EOF
echo `date`
echo
echo 'End of archive cleanup on STANDBY'
mailx -s ${MAILHEADER} $MAILTO < /tmp/rmandbarchstandby.out
# End of ScriptThis uses ( calls an ENV) so the crontab has an environment.
Example ( STANDBY.env )
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ULIMIT=unlimited
ORACLE_SID=STANDBY
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0.2
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data

TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_BASE/dba_tool/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/lbin:/GNU/bin/make:/u01/app/oracle/dba_tool/bin:/home/oracle/utils/SCRIPTS:/usr/local/bin:.

export LIBPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORA_NLS33
export TNS_ADMIN
export PATH
export MAILTO=?? your email hereNote use the env command in Unix to get you settings.
There are probably ten other/better ways to do this, but this works.

How to set no archive log in MS SQL

Dear Gurus,
I'll already did the support package upgrade and need to run the SGEN.But before that I'll need to set the archive log in MS SQL 2005 database.
Kindly please help me,how to set "no archive log " in MS SQL .Then I can run the SGEN.After that how to revert back to "enable archive log mode".
All the posting told about the archive log with Oracle.
Thanks
/Shah

Hi Shah,
In MS SQL Server, Transaction log is used to write log files.
For eg., Intially if you allocate 10GB to the Tr.Log and can set the limit based on your requirement, say as 11GB. It means it wont grow beyond the point 11GB.
If you take a transactional log backup, the data present in the 10GB file is freed up, but the size of the file would remain same.
This can be truncated by shrinking the log file.
1. Open SQL Mgmt studio.
2. Right click on the DB(SID)> Tasks>Shrink-->Files.
3. Choose "Log" in the file type and "Log File Name" in the Filename column.
4. Shrink Action should be "Release Unused Space"
5. Then Click Ok. The unused space will be released.
The Transaction log can be switched off by changing the Recovery Model to "SIMPLE"
1. Click on the DB(SID)
2. Properties>Options>Recovery Model.
3. If the recovery model is set to Simple, the Transaction log wont be written.
Hope this would help you. Revert for any other clarification.
Regards,
Kamesh

How do we do Archiving the system logs in SAP-BW

Hi All
How do we do Archiving the system logs in SAP-BW.
Can anyone will let me know reagrding this
If you have any docs also pls forward to my id [email protected]
Thanks & Regards
Balji

Balaji,
What is the landscape you have ?
Windows / Unix / Solaris etc ?
Also there are a lot of logs that are generated:
Archive log ,
System Log,
Transaction log etc...
The usual procedure is to copy them into another location and then delete the original file , the system will usually recreate the log and start logging new entries..

How to unzip a .tar.tar file

Hi ,
I have downloaded jexel api from net. But it come as jexcelapi_2_5_9.tar.tar. i tried to unzip using winzip. But its not working. Can anybody tell how to unzip this?

Winzip knows how to read tar files.
This is just a wild guess, but try this:
- Copy the file, and rename it jexcelapi_2_5_9.tar.gz
- You may have to do this in cmd.exe because the Windows graphical shell often screws up file names
- Then use WinZip on the copy of the file with the new name.
I'm thinking that maybe when you downloaded the file the filename got corrupted.
