If you have a working DB, why upgrade?

If you have a working db, don't try to upgrade even if your local Oracle sales man says. Why? Because you will have new problems during upgrade...

Hi Mark,
Its DB, but the story a little bit long, not just one bug, i will try summarize it.
source db - 10.2.0.3 RAC on rhel 4, ocfs2 900GB datafiles
target db - 11R2 RAC on rhel 5.5 ASM
- I could't stop source db ( as usual 7/24 db )
- First I tried data pump over network, tere is some bugs on 10.2.0.3 data pump can't export it (we have to upgrade db to 10.2.0.4 but i can't)
- Second I tried old export import tool, but could't do it i got "snapshot too old error" during export o LOB tables!
- Then RMAN Backups, I could't use costumer rman backups
-as usual they were making backups but not testing them - When i tried it, it was not working , end of restore operation I had "system01.dbf file restored from older backup please restore it from newer backup" error but there is only one backup.
-I Changed backup script and make too many cleaning in catalog, then we have a new internal error, 10.2.0.3 has a bug, if a datafile grows during rman backup backup crashing.
After all I talked with managers to stop db for one day maintance, then called storage experts (copiying over network is too slow) and during one day stop we changed the new storage configuration ( it was raid 1 and raw for ASM)
- Setup 10.2.0.1
- upgrade 10.2.0.3
- copy datafiles to their orgial path in new storage
- run db ( happy day)
- upgrade it to 10.2.0.4
- set up grid
- set up 11r2
- upgrade to 11r2 using option move datafiles to ASM
- surprise Upgrade could't do it because of some bugs. (I tried to set up new db on asm there was no problem with ASM or grid)
- Decided to upgrade 11gr2 single instance and make datapump export ( after 1 day it gave error about file size, so tried to split the dmp files)
- set up an empty working rac db
- tried to import dmp files
finally i got that error -> 11gR2 impdp parallelism (don't use. It has a bug!!)

My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode shift CMD V the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start. Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this?

My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode <shift CMD V> the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start. Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this? Thanks Eamonn

Thanks for these suggestions: I have tried safe mode re-starts (both "verbose" and simple "shift" + power) to no avail. I get the error message "disk0s2: media is not present". Following this I inserted the installation disc and from there ran disc utility. The "Verify Disk" indicated an error " invalid sibling link" which it could not repair.
I also tried to completely re-format/erase the disk, but again got an error message "disk object invalid or unable to serialize".
Any ideas of what could be causing this or the best solution? I fear I am fast running out of options.

Dear Sir: I performed the tasks as you outlined them. (Attempting to save desktop library on laptop so the two match each other.) However when I went to "Import" it was light grey and was unable to import. Do you have a working solution? Thank you!

Dear Jolly Giant:
I performed the tasks as you outlined. Everything worked until I went to click on "Import". It was a light grey and when I attempted to click on it nothing happened so was unable to import the desktop library to the laptop. Would you happen to have a working solution so the import switch would work? Thank you so much

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps

What if you have never received notifications regarding upgrading iOS?

I have iPad 2 it was a gift and have never received notifications to upgrade the iOS operating systems...how would I go about getting these?

You can start trying:
Connect your iPad to iTune (computer) and Check for Updates. Backup before you proceed with update.

If you have Hibernate working on desktop pc

Which method do you use? I built a new system few weeks ago so I'm ready to try again, but on old pc I tried using the Wiki and got as far as booting back in and having it fail at finding the swap drive, no matter the editing I did, leaving me with a kind of broken system. I really want to get it working, though.
Just looking for which method you use and any tips if possible.

Thanks guys, but I'm a bit confused. So if I install the uswsusp program, what exactly do I do to set up hibernate?
Or do I just use your script, fwojciec? Like ./hibernate? And if I simply change echo mem to echo disk, it knows what to do?
Just very hesitant to try without being as sure as I can be, hate to have another broken system or something hehe. Thanks again!
In either case -- don't just copy and paste my script, it's specific to my hardware. You can use it as a template to write your own, though. If you want to use echo "disk" > ... You'd need to have your /boot/grub/menu.lst configured properly so the kernel knows where to save the memory image to. The big advantage of the uswsusp method is that it doesn't require fiddling with kernel or grub configuration -- it has a simple conf file where you set everything up. For more info about uswsusp see this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sus … usp_method

Is there any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC (Windows 7) that when synced to my Iphone that will accept my custom Lables for type of entry, such as you have- Home, Work, then "Private Line" ?

I am wondering if in fact there is any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC running Windows7 that when synced with my 4s that it will retain all my custom lables for phone numbers in Contacts on my iPhone, such as Sandra's Private Line, Cadillac, Bat Phone or what ever?

Hi sahgin,
The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

Do you have to be 18 to upgrade your phone at an apple store?

i have no idea what section this would go under so i put it here.
So yeah, im under 18, have sprint, have upgrade available, can i upgrade my phone?

Are you paying for this account or is it a family plan? If it is a family plan you need the person who controls the account to be with you.

It appears you have no support. Why should I purchase your products

No support why should i purchase your products ?

These are user to user forums, no one here is selling you any products. As far as support goes, if you look around you will see that plenty of support is offered for people who post their issues here, and fairly quickly at that. There are also support channels for directly contacting Adobe that are clearly advertised in their web site. Where are you looking that you conclude there is no support?

HT1338 Do you have a recommended procedure for upgrading from os x 10.4 to 10.6? The machine is a MB with a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo.

What is the procedure to upgrade a MacBook 2GHz Core 2 Duo from Tiger (10.4.11) to Snow Leopard (10.6.6)? We have the new os and apps disks; wish to retain data files.

Back up the system, insert a retail DVD, double-click the installer, and follow the instructions. The retail DVD will be either 10.6 or 10.6.3; Mac OS X 10.6.6 DVDs can't be used to upgrade.

Do you have to pay for the macbook upgrade?

Hey guys! I recently bought a used MacBook os x 10.5.8, I changed the admin user ( http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-73393-change-mac-admin-password-without-the-d isk ) And now I want to access the mac app store, but now I hear that you have to upgrade your mac to do that, but before upgrading I have one question: Do you have to pay for the upgrade, because people say that you have to pay 30$ and on the youtube I see that you can easily press the "Software update" and you just folow some further steps such as ''next'' , wait few minutes and it's done ! So I don't get it !!! or maybe if you entered the credit card details on iTunes it will charge you automatically ? Yeah, that's my question

correct:Snow Leopard retail disc

How do you make imessage work? The icon is there. You can type in the recipient but are not allowed to hit the send button

How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

There is some instability in iMessage. It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use.
I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone.
ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
On the iPad 2, same thing. Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage. That fixed it. Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it.
Why? (beware, some of this is guesswork)
iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network). It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi. If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message. If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line. If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up.
In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses. That is where the problem happenes. zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem. Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem. I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem. Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'.
To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8 Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen. Now go run iMessage. After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank. Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.

Citrix is not working post Yosemite upgrade

Post the upgrade to Yosemite, my citrix application is not opening. I am being asked to install Java application everytime I boot even though I have installed. Not sure if both are related. I need citrix application to connect to my work. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Since I am not familiar with the application, I am answering assuming that the Java issue is connected to the application problem.
Are you sure you have Java installed? An upgrade of OS X to a new major version, such as Mavericks to Yosemite, will delete at the very least the functional components of all Java installations (likely for security and/or compatibility concerns).
If you are sure, which Java do you have installed, and what is the nature of the Java install message?
Some applications on OS X still require the Java 6 runtime supplied by Apple which is now considered 'Legacy Java'. It is a seperate install to Oracle's Java, and as such installing Oracle's Java 7 or 8 will not dismiss the message to install the Legacy Java.
There are some convoluted methods involving the terminal to 'force' legacy dependent apps to recognise the Oracle Java. These procedures are not recommended, as they may cause problems with the applications.

Full-Text Search has not worked since we upgraded to 2012

I have a filestream database and table. Our full-text searches have always worked until we upgraded to SQL 2012 in December. Now, no file that has been uploaded since December is searchable. What has gone wrong here. It should have been
a clean upgrade. We are not getting any error messages. We are just not getting any records returned when we search on a word that we know are in the documents we've uploaded since December (for instance, the word 'aluminum').
Filestream is enabled for the instance.
A full-text catalog exists and contains a full-text index (the same one we've always had). Full-text indexing is ENABLED.
I've tried rebuilding the catalog and the index. I've tried to do a FULL POPULATION on the table.
We haven't changed our queries nor the way the files are uploaded.
Nothing works. I have been a database administrator since the SQL 2005 days and I have never seen anything like this.
Please help.

Hi GINGER PIERCE,
Since the issue regards SQL Server Search. I will help you post the question in the related forums. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
According to your description, in theory , if you can do a full-text search for SQL Server 2008, when upgrading the SQL Server version from 2008 to 2012, the Full text indexing feature should be run well in SQL Server 2012 databases. If not , you can try
to restore your database from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2012, create an new Full-Text Catalog and Index on the table or view in the database, and then use Full Text Index to search words, phrases and multiple forms of word or phrase via FREETEXT() and
CANTAINS() with “and” or “or” operators. check if it is normal that the full-text search feature is enabled in the SQL Server 2012 instance. For more information , see:
Full Text Search step by step in SQL Server 2012.
Note: In SQL Server 2012 SP1 ， the server will report that Full Text Search is not supported in this edition of SQL Server when it clearly is. The workaround is to create the initial catalog by using a T-SQL query:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG
In addition, since it is a fileStream database, we need to verify if you do Full Text Searches on documents in FileTables, if yes, you should enable FileStream database for your SQL Server, and enable FileTable options for the database. For more information,
see:
Full Text Searches on Documents in FileTables.
