Is it posisble to use DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT to rename datafile names

Hi,
I want to clone a database on the same server.
My datafiles start with the name of the SID, for examplel: /u04/oradata/ORACP/ORACP_applic_data_01.dbf'
I want to use "duplicate fom active database", but with the parameter DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT i can only change the directory to clone the datafile to, but the datafile itself is not renamed.
I am correct?
Is the only way to solve this, to use SET NEWNAME for all the datafiles to clone?
Any help is appreciated.
Reagrds,
Harry

Harry;
Turns out I have a better document :
http://www.visi.com/~mseberg/rman/create_a_duplicate_database_on_the_same_host.html
I understand your concern, as far as suggestions double check everything. Thinking RMAN won't overwrite a MOUNTED file.
*"To restore a datafile, either mount the database, or keep it open and take the datafile to be restored offline."*
Source - Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide.
When NOFILENAMECHECK is used with the DUPLICATE command, RMAN does not validate the filenames during restoration. Last I heard you don't use NOFILENAMECHECK when using the same host.
See - Restoring and Recovering Database Files - Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) E10642-03

The scenarios that use db_file_name_convert

On what kind of circumstances does the setting of db_file_name_convert become effective?
I am only sure about one that is standby database.
What are the other scenarios?
Thanks

>
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT is useful for creating a duplicate database for recovery purposes. It converts the filename of a new datafile on the primary database to a filename on the standby database. If you add a datafile to the primary database, you must add a corresponding file to the standby database. When the standby database is updated, this parameter converts the datafile name on the primary database to the datafile name on the standby database. The file on the standby database must exist and be writable, or the recovery process will halt with an error.
If you specify an odd number of strings (the last string has no corresponding replacement string), an error is signalled during startup. If the filename being converted matches more than one pattern in the pattern/replace string list, the first matched pattern takes effect. There is no limit on the number of pairs that you can specify in this parameter (other than the hard limit of the maximum length of multivalue parameters).
Set the value of this parameter to two strings. The first string is the pattern found in the datafile names on the primary database. The second string is the pattern found in the datafile names on the standby database.
You can also use DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT to rename the datafiles in the clone control file when setting up a clone database during tablespace point-in-time recovery.>
You can see, there are couple of places where this parameter can be used.

Can you somehow use Lightroom to rename RAW files?

Okay let's say in one folder on my hard drive I have three RAW files: _DSC0001.NEF and _DSC0002.NEF and _DSC0003.NEF. Now let's say I have reformatted my memory card so my camera will once again start labeling new images with _DSC0001.NEF.
So let's say now I go out and shoot three more RAW files: _DSC0001.NEF and _DSC0002.NEF and _DSC0003.NEF.
If I try to transfer these brand new images into my original folder there will be some duplicate naming which you can't do.
What I have been doing is going into the new folder that holds the new three images and renaming them: so I change _DSC0001.NEF to _DSC0004.NEF and I change _DSC0002.NEF to _DSC0005.NEF and I change _DSC0003.NEF to _DSC_0006.NEF.
Instead of me having to manually rename each photo I was wondering if I could import these new photos into Lightroom and then tell Lightroom to export these RAW images but starting at the sequence _DSC0004.NEF...and so forth.
I mean I can't have a folder that has this: _DSC0001.NEF and then _DSC0001.NEF.
I hope I have made myself clear.
Or am I doing this all wrong?
And I would want Lightroom to export the original, unedited RAW file. It's just that I would be using Lightroom to rename them to keep proper sequencing.

This is the Help page you should read: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSCF140965-2440-4b65-9F88-AA0283034B11.htm l
It can take a little getting used to but once you have you will find it quite easy.
By the way I rename my files with the date first (GW20110514-12345.xxx) which may be useful to you.

Carefully follow steps 1-9 outlined by wjosten in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770. This will not, however, avoid wiping any non-purchased media from your phone (ripped CDs, etc.) as this is only synced one way: from your computer to your phone. You will have to either rebuild your iTunes library with this content and sync again to restore it to your phone, or purchase 3rd party software to copy it from your phone to iTunes prior to syncing (such as Touch Copy).

Timeouts while using LDAP and TNSNAMES for names resolving

I use an OID for Oracle Names resolving at the client-side.
I tested some errorcases because there are no HA-features implemented for the OID.
So i have an LDAP.ORA with the adress and the ports of the OID.
My SQLNET.ORA has this content:
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = <my_company_domian>
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES)So actually there is no problem. But when i turn off the OID-Server there iss a timeout of about 20 second to resolve the name.
So my problem is not the resolving. I only want to know if there is a possibility to minimize the timeout to switch between LDAP-name-resolving to tnsnames.ora-name-resolving?

thanks Oviwan but i think this problem couldn't be solved with a parameter.
@rgoogld:
I already feared that i have to live with that timeout.
But your options are interesting. In the future i will have 2 OIDs and in the first time the TNSNAMES.ORA-names-resolving as backup.
I already can test this because i have a productive OID and one for test-purposes. So at the moment i have two OIDs listet in my LDAP.ORA.
example:
DIRECTORY_SERVERS = (<server_name_oid1>:<Port1>:<Port2>, <server_name_oid2>:<Port1>:<Port2>)
DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT = ""
DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE = OIDThere is already a (about 20 seconds) timeout, when the OID1 is powered down or the services are stopped. The client honestly ask the second OID after the "timeout" and resolve the name.
2 OIDs+TNSNAMS or 1 OID+TNSNAMES in both cases your options could perhaps prevent the timeout. I'm not really a system administrator, but i can discuss it with my colleagues here.
Do you know a smart way to remove or repoint an DNS-entry in a windows enviroment. For such actions i have also to monitor the status of the OID-services or the servers and make the dns-changes if something is crashed.
At this moment i have no idea how to do this but perhaps you or someone else here have some tips for me.

How can I use the same Game Center name on my iPad and my iPhone?

I have a MAC computer with Sync. Was set up under sync Beta. I have an Android phone synced to it that was synced using the pair this device function. It works perfectly. I just got a new Android Tablet and am trying to add it to my sync and it does not seem to have the pair my device function. It insists I log into my sync account. So I try it and it tells me invalid userid/password. I verify and it is the exact email address userid that shows as being my sync account on the MAC. I verify the password on the MAC and it tests out fine. Try the tablet again and invalid.. So I try to reset my password on the tablet and am told my email address/account name does not exist. I just verified it AND Synced my MAC using it!! I have my recovery Key but there is no place to input it into the tablet. There is no place on tablet to enter the link device codes. How can my account be valid and in use on two devices but invalid and nonexistant on the new one? And How do I get the New one to sync with other two?

I feel this xml output is not like the regular xml output. Do you know why it is diffrent from the regular xml xml output? Please comment on this matter.
Thanks,

What do you mean by regular xml document? Are you referring to fact that its missing a root element? if yes it can be added as below
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT
p.NameStyle AS "processing-instruction(nameStyle)",
p.BusinessEntityID AS "Person/@ID",

INNER JOIN Person.EmailAddress e
ON p.BusinessEntityID = e.BusinessEntityID
INNER JOIN Person.PersonPhone pp
ON p.BusinessEntityID = pp.BusinessEntityID
FOR XML PATH('ElementName'),ROOT('RootName');
replace ElementName and RootName with whatever name you need to set for element as well as the root element

To test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based

Hi Sir/Madam,
to test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based on the selection made in the dtp run for extracting data as flat file.

Hi Vishali,
In the DTP select the file location as application server and give the logical file path. The actual file and logical path can be created using transaction "FILE" and "AL11".
Rest of the process is same as that of extraction from local file.
Regards,
Durgesh.

Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences. And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro. I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

Framemaker uses $filename for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen?

Framemaker uses <$filename> for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen? In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.

Sender file adapter - Can I use *.xml for the file name

Hi Gurus,
I have some interfaces where I need to pick the file from a directory. The name of the file will have Data<i>time stamp</i> as the naming convention. Can I use *.xml to pick up my files from this directory?
The help.sap.com documentation says that we can use this naming convention.
<b>
● File Name
Specify the name of the file that you want to process. The name can contain placeholders (*, ? (placeholders for exactly one character)) so that you can select a list of files for processing.
</b>
I tried using *.xml for my file name in the communication channel, XI is not picking up this file.
Please let me know if you have the solution.
Thanks
Kalyan

Murthy,
Thanks for the reply.
I am using GuildFTP tool as my FTP server. In this tool, all the permissions were given for the file to pick up.
The status of the file is good.
Where in the file adapter configuration I have to select 'Read-only'?
The file adapter is working perfect with the exact name of the file.
Thanks
Kalyan

How to use variables in logical file name definition FILE

Hi Friends,
How can I use variables in logical file name definition (tcode FILE). The requirement is to pass value in these variables (based on selection criteria), and use it as part of file name. You quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kuldeep Joshi

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
In detail, the scenario is like I have created an Open Hub. Its working fine. Now I am planning to execute this open hub using process chain and for that I have to define the file output on application server along with logical file name (using tcode FILE). The logical file name contains two variables (defined in FILE) i.e. z_dept and z_fiscperiod.
Filter value in DTP ( I will read these values from Ztable using routine )
Dept = R&D
Fisc period = 004/2009
Variables defined in tcode FILE:
z_dept for Dept
z_fiscperiod for Fiscal Period
Logical file name : <z_dept>_<z_fiscperiod>.csv
Now the challenge is to populate filter values in these two variables so that the filter value can be used for naming the output file.
My last option is to read/update SAP standard table used for storing variable values (i.e. PARAMVALUE)
Please let me know if you can help me in this issue OR is there any standard method/FM to populate value in these variables
Thanks,
Kuldeep

Why do the foreign language Siri voices use English day and month names?
