If you know about this, plz...inform this.At least if you select "desktop" during installation, then the answer is yes. But you have to run the ibus program, log out then log in to complete the process. You only need to run it once.

Hi,
This forum is discuss and ask questions about the C# programming language, IDE, libraries, samples, and tools. I am afraid this issue is out of topic.
Please repost this issue to Machine Translation and Language Tools >

AIR auto update error, and question about POST parameters

Hello,
I'm getting a Download Failed error in the AIR autoupdating process;
There was an error downloading the update. Error# 16822
I recall this working once, the very first time that I tried it.
My app.xml file contains this line:
    <version>12</version>
and my update.xml file contains:
<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/1.0">
<version>12</version>
<url>http:/players.biemedia.com/ooyala/Composer/Composer.air</url>
<description>12 - Bug fixes and prepopulating defaults for player creation screen</description>
</update>
Pasting the URL into a browser works.
However, this stuffresides on cloudfront. in the past i have noticed that if something tries to send post parameters along with the request, cloudfront will deny the request. Is it possible that the AIR app is sending POST parameters when hitting the download URL, and could this behavior be new in the last 6 months or so?
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Gerry

Just Got The Solution for Error 16811 & 16816
Note Following things to avoide update error
No 1.>
You xml schema for update descriptor.xml in server should look similar to this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5">
<versionNumber>2.0</versionNumber>
<url>http://localhost/SerialHunter/SerialHunter.air</url>

    * Enhaced UI functions
    * Ability to add providers
]]></description>
</update>
Note xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5"
and versionNumber instead of version
Also make similar changes in appxml version field (in Burrito its by default versionNumber )
No 2>
if u are using code to display veesion number make sure it should look like:
var appXML:XML = NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationDescriptor;
var ns:Namespace = appXML.namespace();
pnlMain.title=appXML.ns::name+" v "+appXML.ns::versionNumber
Thats it...!

Re-post : General Question about Language - Urgent Advice Needed

IS IT POSSIBLE TO AVOID COMPLETELLY THE DISPLAY/USAGE OF ENGLISH IN PORTAL?
WE INSTALLED LANGUAGE SPANISH (langinst.cmd) AND OUR CONTENT AREAS HAVE DEFAULT LANGUAGE "SPANISH"(NO ENGLISH TRANSLATION) .
OUR PAGES/NAVIGATION BARS/STYLES/ETC... WERE CREATED BEING CONNECTED TO THE PORTAL IN SPANISH.
WE DON'T WANT TO SHOW THE "LANGUAGE" PORTLET FOR USERS TO CHANGE BETWEEN SPANISH AND ENGLISH AND WE DON'T WANT THE PORTAL TO DISPLAY IN ENGLISH IF THE BROWSER SETTING IS ENGLISH.
I READ SOMEWERE THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO "UNINSTALL" A LANGUAGE, THEREFORE I ASSUME WE CANNOT ELIMINATE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
CAN WE CONFIGURE SOMEHOW "SPANISH" AS A DEFAULT AND "UNIQUE"LANGUAGE SO ALWAYS THE PORTAL DISPLAYS IN SPANISH ??
I HAVE INSTALLED LATEST VERSION 3.0.9.
ANY IDEAS/SUGGESTIONS WILL BE MORE THAN WELLCOME!

Hi Maria,
One way of using Spanish as the default language is to load the following code in your Portal schema:
set def off
/* @Copyright (c) 1999, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. */
create or replace procedure home
-- create the synonyms for wwpob_page.show
as
l_pageid number;
l_url varchar2(32767);
function is_language_set
p_http_language in varchar2 default null,
p_nls_language in varchar2 default null,
p_nls_territory in varchar2 default null,
p_requested_url in varchar2
return boolean
is
l_cookie owa_cookie.cookie;
l_language varchar2(100) default null;
begin
begin
begin
l_cookie := owa_cookie.get(wwctx_sso.PERSISTENT_COOKIE);
exception
when others then
l_language := null;
raise wwctx_sso.NOT_HTTP_SESSION_EXCEPTION;
end;
l_language := lower(l_cookie.vals(1));
exception
when others then
l_language := null;
end;
if l_language is null then
wwctx_app_language.set_language
p_http_language => p_http_language,
p_nls_language => p_nls_language,
p_nls_territory => p_nls_territory,
p_requested_url => p_requested_url
return false;
end if;
return true;
end is_language_set;
begin
-- Mobile support
if wwpob_api_mobile.is_mobile_request
then
l_pageid := wwpob_api_mobile.get_defaultmobilepage;
else
l_pageid := wwpob_api_mobile.get_defaultmobilepage;
else
l_pageid := wwpob_api_page.get_defaultpage;
end if;
l_url := wwpob_page_util.get_page_url(p_pageid => l_pageid);
if is_language_set('es', 'e', 'SPAIN', l_url) then
owa_util.redirect_url(l_url);
end if;
exception
when others then
wwerr_api_error_ui.show_html;
end;
show errors procedure home;
This script looks for the language in the NLS_LANGUAGE cookie. It this cookie does not exist then the language defaults to Spanish because of the code is_language_set('es', 'e', 'SPAIN', l_url). Please make sure to delete the NLS_LANGUAGE cookie, if it exists.
Please note that this code will work for 3.0.9. In case you want to implement something similar to this on 3.0.8, the code containing the mobile support has to be removed. You can contact me, should you have any questions.

Just a question about Languages.

Hi all!
I've got just a question: I'm italian, but in the italian site there's no updater for my n73.
The problem is that now I don't know if, installing the english one, i'll be able to change the language.
Can you tell me it, pleeeease??

I think I heard somewhere that some software can be
switched to English but some can't, but where can I
find that kind of information?
Basically all Apple software (except OS 9 and AppleWorks) has multiple localizations which always include Japanese and English, and these are easily switched via preferences settings. I think MS and Adobe software often only comes in one language at a time, but you really must check with them, or the outfit selling the software, to find out the situation with a particular app.

I have question about language

hi i have a somthing to say that in our country we want to add our language to apple products so if you can do this we will be honerd to accept that descion

Diff between oracle linux and oracle enterprise linux?

hi all,
i am new to this flavor of Linux. I know oracle linux has red hat source, but i am confused about the difference betweek oracle linux which comes in versions 4 (upto update 8) and 5 (latest update being 5).
i need to install oracle enterprise linux at a client place, so i gota know the difference.
Should i be installing oracle Linux first and then run the rpm of "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel"? or is the "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" only for customers who require this kernal on oracle linux update 5 x86_64?
thanks

From what I understand Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) is a rebranded version of Red hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Oracle Linux (OL) is OEL plus Oracle optimization and custom, newer kernel. OL with Oracle "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" is available as x86_64 only and was introduced based on OEL or RHEL 5.5.
You can install OEL 5.4 and easily upgrade to OEL 5.5, PMFJI, but can you point me to docs on how to make that upgrade? The timing of this msg on the forum was exquisite, as I started looking at that just today. I have an OEL 5.4 installation and would much rather upgrade to 5.5 than to have to rebuild from scratch.
I did a yum install kernel with the 5.5 version of the public-yum-el5.repo. That went without a hitch and now reports "2.6.32-100.0.19.el5 #1" where I was 2.6.18-164.el5, but I also see
[root@myserver ~]# uname -a
Linux myserver 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5 #1 SMP Fri Sep 17 17:51:41 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@myserver ~]# cat /etc/enterprise-release
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage)
[root@myserver ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)Bottom line is that I am charged with updating the kernel to a 2.6 version newer than 19 Sep, or applying a patch for the compat_alloc_user_space() function, and am not sure exactly how to proceed from here.
if you like or start to install from version 5.5, and then install OL 5.5 by downloading the Oracle public yum repository and follow the instructions at http://public-yum.oracle.com

Oracle Linux 6.2 - hyper-threading

Hello
two simple questions, I hope 8^)
if I installed OL 6.2 and then also upgraded to UEK R2, on X64 Intel server - both tasks done with hyper-threading enabled and then I want to disable hyper-threading after OS installation - do I need to make any OS system/parameter changes at Linux OS level or simply turn off H/T at hardware level and reboot the server ?
is there general recommendation re when H/T is beneficial on Oracle Linux with UEK ?
what about if I added more RAM to the same 64-bit Intel server? Any Linux OS changes required to get all RAM recognised by OS ?
thanks!

A recommendation does not mean the absolute best solution for every situation. There has been no information about any particular software deployment or even the particular CPU in question.
I agree with you that enabling or disabling HTT in regard to achieving the best possible performance for a particular scenario is subject to testing. But, if someone asks me what is the recommendation about HTT in regard to Oracle UEK kernel, and possibly Oracle RDBMS, my suggestion is to use the default and leave HTT enabled. I'm not aware of any documentation that suggest to generally disable HTT when using Oracle. Saying "it depends" is scientifically correct, but not helpful.
There are already plenty of discussions about HTT on the net. You can turn HTT off and experience a performance increase, but there is also a chance the performance was even better with HTT enabled in a properly configured system or application. There are cases were HTT apparently slows down performance, but drawing a conclusion about enabling or disabling HTT in regard to performance is often too simple due to many other factors that can interfere with the results.
Dude the link you supplied referenced some old ibm information.Well, Hyper-Threading isn't a new feature.
For what it's worth, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading in particular "Drawback history".
Or http://www.intel.com/support/processors/pentium4/sb/cs-017371.htm#1c which also links to more performance info.

Questions about Installing EBS R12

Folks,
Hello. I have downloaded E-Business Suit R12 from edelivery and want to instsll it in Oracle Linux 5.
There are about 50 ZIP files in EBS R12 (Bxxxxx.zip and Vxxxxx.zip).
I unzip the a few Bxxxxx.zip files. The contents in "B53824-01_3of4.zip_FILES" folder are:
Start CD -> Disk1 -> rapidwiz ->rapidwiz
Is "rapidwiz" the file to initialize the installation?
Do I need to unzip all of the files in EBS R12 before install ?

Hi,
Is Base directory the place where EBS R12 will be installed?Yes.
The directory before your apps, db and inst folder
Ex:
/u01/oracle/PROD/ ---> Base
/u01/oracle/PROD/db --> Db folder
/u01/oracle/PROD/apps -> Application folder
How to choose the Base directory in the File System ?Depends on your mount points. But the basic is as shown above
Do I need to create a new Top-level directory as Base directory ? Not needed. Rapidwiz will create it for ya
But make sure you have correct permissions for oracle and applmgr.
Thanks

The actual problem seems to be that you are using the wrong Linux distribution for you Laptop. Enterprise Linux was not designed for consumer grade hardware. To further troubleshoot the problem you will need to check for relevant output of "dmesg", i.e. check if the firmware and driver that was loaded for the device. You should also check "lspci -v" w/o grep to see more detailed information for the device.
Are you trying the latest Oracle Linux 6 update 2?
What is your hardware?
Beware that no Oracle database products are yet certified for EL6 yet, so you should better stick to Oracle Linux 5 update 7 instead.
If the purpose of your installation is research and development I suggest to install Windows as your primary OS and run Oracle Linux inside Virtualbox. Check the following link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html

A question about Oracle 1g R2 Enterprise Edition license

Dear all,
I have a question about Oracle license and I would appreciate if you could kindly help me.
I have installed an Oracle server (11g R2 Enterprise edition) on a linux virtual machine. The pc used for this purpose
is my enterprise laptop (therefore a professional and not a personal Computer). However, I use the this Oracle Server
only for learning purpose, that is, only for running the examples in my Oracle Press books (SQL, PL/SQL and some
administration tasks) just for learning the stuff.
There is absolutely no data related to my enterprise, stored or used on this server. Whenever I want to work with my
enterprise data, I use the Oracle server of the enterprise which has of course the appropriate license. So as I said, I
use this Enterprise server on the virtual machine only for running queries/programs in my Oracle Press books just for
learning and I'm the sole person who uses this server (no remote connection for other users).
The reason for which I needed to install this server on my PC was that our DBA couldn't provide a training environment
for me with all required privileges and functionalities.
Am I supposed to buy a license for this installed Enterprise server on my virtual machine?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

Oracle Linux 5.5 updates?

Lately it seems that the Oracle Linux 5.5 channel is very quiet, now that Oracle Linux 5.6 is out and getting updates. My question is whether there will be any updates to 5.5 in the future, or is it kind of frozen, and all new features/fixes will go into 5.6?

My question is whether there will be any updates to 5.5 in the future, or is it kind of frozen, and all new features/fixes will go into 5.6?That's how Enterprise Linux works. Once a new update comes out, the older update versions remain static. This means you can keep your servers on exactly the right version of each package you want. If you subscribe to the "latest" channel (available on ULN), then your system will automatically upgrade from Update to Update, i.e. it would've jumped from EL5U5 to EL5U6 automatically.

Several questions about oracle ASM in 11gR2.

Hi, all.
The db is 11.2.0.3 on a linux machine.
I have several questions about oracle ASM functionality.
1. V$ASM_DISKGROUP.ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE is the stripe size in bytes??
2. V$ASM_DISK.DISK_NUMBER is unique to a physical disk??
3. if the second question is the case,
disk_number=0 (a physical disk) has 14 partition on it.
And each partition belongs to several diskgroups.
Is ths right??
with q1 as (
     select /*+ use_hash(b,a) */
          disk_number,b.group_number,b.name,a.path,sum(os_mb) tot_size ,count(*) cnt

1. No. The stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration.
(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e18951/asmcon.htm#BABCGDBF)That is not a true statement. Please read the document, the stripe size depends upon what method of striping we using (fine-grained or coarse-grained)
--from the same oracle document:
To stripe data, Oracle ASM separates files into stripes and spreads data evenly across all of the disks in a disk group. The fine-grained stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration; this provides lower I/O latency for small I/O operations. The coarse-grained stripe size is always equal to the AU size (not the data extent size).
--are we using fine grained or coarse-grained ? and how to change the striping method (using TEMPLATES)

Oracle Linux Patching/Updates Impact on Oracle Database

I have several questions regarding Oracle Linux patching and its impact on Oracle Database.
3 node Cluster
Operating System: Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2
Kernel: 2.6.18-92.1.22.0.1.el5 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Grid Infrastructure: Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2)
Database: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition (11.2.0.2) with RAC option
ASM with ASMLib is being used for Data and FRA.
*1)* Given your at Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2, will applying only Security Patches require any changes to ASMLib, Oracle Grid Infrastructure and/or Oracle Database (software binaries, configuration etc.)?
*2)* Given your at Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2, will applying Bug Fixes and Security Patches to Oracle Linux 5 update 2 require any changes to ASMLib, Oracle Grid Infrastructure and/or Oracle Database (software binaries, configuration etc.)?
*3)* Given your updating from Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2 to Oracle Linux Release 5 update 8, will this require any changes to ASMLib, Oracle Grid Infrastructure and/or Oracle Database (software binaries, configuration etc.)?
I would most whole heartedly appreciate if someone could answer the specific questions asked, inline if possible. Our System Administrator is preparing to perform some patching and as the DBA I'd like to be certain what changes I need to prepare for? I also have a single instance database setup with Oracle Restart. I don't know if this impacts the answers above.
Thanks in advance.

How do you plan to apply Oracle Linux security patches? As far as I'm aware the yum security plug-in does not work with the Oracle public yum repository and there is no really feasible way to automate and determine security related patches only, unless you setup Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (11g) or Cloud (12c) and have a subscription to Oracle ULN.
If you upgrade your Oracle Linux to the latest available version using the public yum repository, all patches, including errata will be applied. You cannot apply patches and stay on a specific release version unless you have a subscription and appropriate yum repository access.
As far as I'm aware there are no changes required to your Oracle database or ASM setup and configuration when updating the OS, provided the version of the Oracle database is supported for the specific OS version (ASM features like ADVM/ACFS are kernel version depending). Upgrading from one major release to another, such as upgrading Oracle Linux 5 to Oracle Linux 6 is not supported and will require upgrading the Oracle Database to 11.2.0.3. You can check the Oracle database certification matrix to determine which Oracle database release version is required for which OS version http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e23558/toc.htm
The relinking of Oracle Database binaries is a common practice when updating the OS. I do not think it is necessary under Linux. Oracle binaries are typically standalone applications, or use Oracle provided libraries, or in some cases use OS shared libraries, which does not require relinking of Oracle binaries. Upgrading the Oracle database software of course requires relinking.
