Is it possible to do DST patch without reboot on Solaris 9

Hi - I have some machines that are difficult to schedule downtime on, and am
wondering if I can manually stop/start processes that are affected by
113225-08 and 112874-33 patches so that I could apply them without rebooting.
Is this possible?
Thanks very much for the help,
Judy

The reboot ensures that all processes are restarted.
Any processes that are started before the timezone patch is installed will not see the update.
So if nothing else, I'd want to restart cron...

Possible bug in DST patches

I am running Trusted Solaris 8 12/02 x86
I have installed patches 125235-01 and 125237-01. It appears the spring forward time change works however the fall back time change does not seem to be losing an hour. I performed the following steps to test the time changes.
Spring forward time change:
1. Set the time using �date 031101592007� which sets the time to Sun Mar 11 01:59:00 CST 2007
2. Using the date command I verified the time springs ahead and changes to Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 CST 2007 skipping the 2 am hour.
This tells me the spring forward worked.
Fall back time change:
1. Set the time using �data 110401592007� to set the time to Sun Nov 4 01:59:00 CST 2007
2. Using the date command I tried to verify that the time would fall back and count the 1 am hour again but it did not. The date continued into the 2 am hour normally.
Because of this I am gussing there may be a bug in the patches.
If I am doing something wrong or if there is a better way to test the time change please let me know. Thanks
Josh

OK. I think I see what you are saying. First I want
to make sure we are both talking about 24 hour time
and not 12 hour time. In 24 hour time I understand
the 0100 hour would occur twice; The first in DST and
the second pass not in DST. I am not sure which time
the 'date 110401592007' command I ran set the time
in. The second.
Does the OS automatically put the new date in the
second pass through of the 0100 hour?Apparently.
If so there may
not be a bug at all but if that was the case how
could the fall back time be tested?Run
perl -le 'print scalar localtime 1143504000' and
perl -le 'print scalar localtime 1175040000'
If you're in a US timezone that follows Daylight Saving time, the first will show a time on March 27 2006 (Standard time) and the second a year later on March 27 2007 (Daylight Saving Time). The two should have local times one hour apart. If they do not, then you're probably not ready.
An alternative is to simply ask zdump for information about your particular tiemzone.
zdump -v $TZ | grep 2007. You should see the correct transition dates for 2007.
Alternatively, if you really want to change the clock on the computer, don't change it by specifying a local time (which as you've seen is ambiguous). Change it by specifying a UTC time and the -u flag. That's unambiguous.

Oem web page will not display after O/S dst patch

Hello,
The Grid web page will not display after we DST patch for the o/s.
All below start fine without any errors:
emctl start oms
emctl start iasconsole
opmnctl startall
emctl start agent
The Grid web page is not displaying. What might happened after the o/s dst patch that might cause this? Our GRID is 10204 with a 10104 repository. The 10104 has not yet been dst patch.
What logs should I be looking at to figure why the web page is not displaying? Thank you.

Provide the output of these comands:
$OMS_HOME/bin/emctl status oms
$OMS_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl status
$AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl status agent
$DATABASE_HOME/bin/sqlplus "/ as sysdba" << EOF
SELECT STATUS FROM V$INSTANCE;

Obtain DST patch for 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows from other than MetaLink?

Does anybody know whether it's possible to get patches from anywhere other than MetaLink?
I downloaded and installed Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows from OTN, but I had one hell of a time getting the Enterprise Manager to connect properly because of that DST problem that everyone's been complaining about.
I read in one post that there was a DST patch. However, I don't have a support contract, so no Support Identifier to register for MetaLink. Is there anywhere else to obtain this DST patch?
I did manage eventually to get Enterprise Manager to connect and work properly by changing my Windows DST setting and 'hitting' EM until it just happened to work. But I have to go through that same ridiculous procedure every time I restart my machine, so I was hoping to get a patch.

It is not possible to do so legally.
Buy the support agreement. There is a lot of value beyond the patches. Doing so will give you access to the Knowledge Base, Service Requests, and much more.

10.3.9 Daylight Savings Time Problem (DST Patch applied), it was working

We have about 30 Macs running 10.3.9, all of which were patched last year with the DST patch (2007). They are all configured to set the date and time automatically using time.apple.com. The user account used by the people using them is a non-administrator account.
Since Daylight Savings Time changed in March 9, 2008, they correctly changed their time until late last week (end of March), when several of them went back to the old time. If I open the Date & Time System Preference Pane and authenticate, the clock changes to the correct time, without any further input from me other than authenticating as the admin. Once changed, some but not all go back to the incorrect time about a day later.
Any ideas? I am trying to see if there is a simpler solution that resetting PRAM, throwing away cache files, etc.
Other machines running newer versions of the OS don't have the issue.
Thanks in advance for any input and/or advice.

Is it possible to clone an instance without any data?

Hi,
Is it possible to clone an instance without any data?
Say I want to clone an instance to make a new instance on some other server so that the new clone will be same like a fresh installation without any customization and data in it.
Thanks

EBS with empty database
One option you have is to do another fresh install, apply all of the patches that have been applied on the current instance, then use iSetup to migrate your setups from source to target.

9.2.0.8.0 patch without full metalink account?

I've downloaded Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0, and am interested in upgrading this to 9.2.0.8.0, for compatibility with a client's database. Is it possible to make a one-itme purchase of this specific patch, without opening a full Metalink account? I don't have the resources for a full service account -- just need this one patch.
Thanks

Your request is a bit confusing, does your your customer already has or not 9.2.0.8.0? They already have the patch and they can use to upgrade their clients. Or is it you the one who is looking for personal access to Oracle Support?
Either way, you may want to read the 'Technical Support Policies' - http://www.oracle.com/support/collateral/oracle-technical-support-policies.pdf - effective from may 7th 2007 for an official statement on Oracle technical support usage.

Essbase doesnt start after DST patch

Dear Friends - We are using Essbase server version 7.1.5. Recently we applied the DST (Daylight saving) patch on our Essbase server and operating system (Unix AIX) and after that we are unable to start Essbase on our servers. The message it gives is "The Essbase license is already in use, or the license file does not contain a valid server type. Please make sure the license is available or please contact Technical Support to validate your license file. " We tried using new license file without any help. Could anyone please help us on this. 

Hi Bill, Thanks for your response. We use the license file directly in our Essbase servers instead of using license server. We have the path of the license file in the essbase.cfg file. After the DST patch was applied by our system administrators, we attempted to start the Essbase using the custom startup scrript we have (one which we use to start Essbase). The script does the following : 1. runs the .profile 2. export ARBORPATH and LIBPATH 3. start Essbase with the 'ESSBASE' command in background mode. We found that Essbase is not starting and the log gave us the message mentioned in our topic. Could you give us any clues what might have happened. Thank you once again. Regards -

DST Patch Prerequisites and Software Updates

Mixed environment with PowerMac G5 PPC that are running Tiger 10.4.2 and some 10.4.6. Want to make sure that these machines are updated correctly with the Daylight Saving Time changes in 2007 without impacting customers.
Will have to be accomplished manually, (still in the process of obtaining Apple Remote Desktop)
Would probably prefer manual updates at this time due to Prerequisites and without impacting production.
Questions are mixed and confirmation is needed:
# 1) Apple is indicating that the Daylight Saving Time Update (Tiger)Post Date: February 15, 2007, has a system requirement Mac OS X 10.4.8 (Client or Server). Does this mean that OSX needs to be updated to v 10.4.8 in order for the manual DST patch to work?
# 2) Seems to be a contradiction regarding if the DST patch is and was implemented with various updates up to 10.4.8. Again according to Apple the DST rule changes for the United States and most of Canada are already available in Mac OS X 10.4.5 or later. Since I have around 70% of PPC already updated to 10.4.6 is the DST needed?
# 3) The remaining G5 PPC that currently are running 10.4.2 based on above will have to be updated with the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (combo) I am pretty nervous based on this update being successful, even with permission repair prior to update etc....
The Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (combo) updates Mac OS X 10.4, 10.4.1, 10.4.2, 10.4.3, 10.4.4, 10.4.5, 10.4.6, or 10.4.7 to version 10.4.8 on both Intel-based Macs and PowerPC-based Macs.
# 4) Do all current Tiger OS version need to be updated to 10.4.8 to assure that DST patch is installed?
Confirmation - Information or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
PowerMac G5 2.5 Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.2) Mixed PPC 10.4.2 & 10.4.6
PowerMac G5 2.5 Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Brian--
Since the 10.4.6 update as you indicate above fixes
the DST problem for US locations that affects my
customers
(We are in the US) and our time zone. There would be
no reason to update these machines to 10.4.8 since
they already are updated to 10.4.6 and addresses my
immediate concern which is the DST issue.
Well, if you only deal with local time on your computers, it probably won't make a difference. It's when you're trying to calculate times in different time zones where the times could get off. So email headers and downloaded files might have strange time stamps off by an hour in some cases. Those are the kinds of non-obvious activities that could be affected.
" Updating to 10.4.8 alone won't do it, obviously,
you'd need the DST patch"
Now I am really confused since this URL and your
comments contradict this documentation for Apple. If
having the 10.4.6 version of Tiger and it already has
the DST patch why are you saying that 10.4.8 alone
won't do it??
Well, there are really two issues: Apple updated the US time zone files and most of Canada in 10.4.5. So if you update to 10.4.5 or later, you'd get these changes. However, one location that didn't get updated was Vancouver. You can check it from the Terminal app like this:
<pre class="command">zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver | grep 2007</pre>If you have 10.4.8 with the extra DST update, you'll see the following:
<pre class="command">/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 PST isdst=0
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver Sun Mar 11 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 PDT isdst=1
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver Sun Nov 4 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 PDT isdst=1
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver Sun Nov 4 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 PST isdst=0</pre>If you just have 10.4.5 or later, but no DST update, the spring times will be three weeks later (Apr 1, I think), and the fall ones will be a week earlier. And it's the same for a few other locations and time zones in Canada and around the world.
Maybe I am reading into this but there seems to be
conflicting documentation here.
Well, I can see where that page might be kind of confusing, but, in a nutshell, it says that if you have 10.4.5 or later, you have some, but not all, of the DST changes for 2007 installed on your system. If you follow the link at the end of the Mac OS X 10.4 and Mac OS X Server 10.4 Tiger section, it links to a page that has a bit more information on the February 2007 DST update. That update has all the changes as of January 8, 2007.

I want to know whether we can apply the patch using c/d/g driver without using adpatch.The c/d/g drivers are just like the u driver and should be applied using adpatch only (cannot be applied manually or from the command prompt!).
If there are any additional manual steps mentioned in the patch README file, then you have to implement it too.
Thanks,

Not possible to scroll the menu without lagging - Set Up a Repair service is not working

Hi,
It is not possible to scroll the menu without lagging.
The latest version has been restored but nothing.
I think the touch screen is having some problems.
I wanted to use the Set Up a Repair / Send In for service but it seems that the application form doesn't working.
As soon as push the Continue button, nothing happens.
Is there anybody from Apple who can check this issue please?
Thank You.

Restoring a phone from a backup will put the device back to the state it was when the backup took place, i.e. all info that you had on that phone before using the backup will be gone.
You could try to restore the phone, which will back up the actual data on the phone, including the passcode, and use this backup to set up a new phone with. The passcode will still be the same, because it is part of the backup.
More info here, iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
Not being able to fill in the passcode is not much different from forgetting it.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Also have a look at this one: iTunes: About iOS backups

Is it possible to backup my iPhone without getting into the phone?

I have a white iPhone 5c 16GB. It's my second time owning one, and the current one I have is from Asurion insurance company. I have heard those have been refurbished, so when I received my current phone I felt like it had already been old. iPhones don't have long life spans, for one. I would drop it a couple times and the edge of the screen would pop out but i would just push it back in using some force. Another problem it had is that it would die even when it had about 30% of battery left. Earlier today, it did the same. Trying to get my charger, the phone accidentally fell off of the bed while it was dead. As usual i check for cracks or the screen popping out and that didn't happen. I charged it and when i tried going on my phone I was only able to use half of the screen. The other half was covered in those lines that appear when the screen is damaged. My immediate reaction was to plug it into my laptop to backup the phone before more damage happened to the phone but I had procrastinated on updating itunes. It took about two hours for iTunes to completely download. Meanwhile the screen had just completely failed on me showing only the colorful lines, but i was still receiving calls and the phone could still vibrate, i just couldn't see or check anything at all. Once i was going to back it up, itunes said my phone was in recovery mode and that i had to restore my phone. I have precious photos that i want to keep when i get a new phone. Is it possible to backup the phone without using itunes and just using icloud? its saying my phone is connected yet im unable to see any proof of that other than the sound my laptop makes when i plug it back in. Also, if that doesn't work or is not possible, will i be able to just stick my sim card into a new phone and will i be able to keep my data?

That's what I figured. When i go on icloud it shows the bar of the storage, and since i havent purchased extra, i only have the free 5gb. in icloud the bar shows the amount ive used and it says "backup" on the bar. It's not a link it's just a label. Does that mean it's backed up automatically on icloud?

Any software to decrypt the files , mostly word and excel files , any solution please let me know as soon ad possible.
Thx

If you formatted the entire "C" drive (Format C:\) then you don't need to decrypt them but rather recover them. Recovery is somewhat doubtful but one application you can try is called recuva.
You will not recover 100% of the files and may not recover any

Is it possible to Create Material Master without Profit Center ?

Hai,

      2) How SAP System Validate Profit Center in material master. ? is it material Type wise ?
      3) Whether PO Order Creation,GRN & MIRO Possible for those material Master without Profit Center.?
Kindly Explain me clearly..
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Profit center is at the plant level.
You can create material master even with out a profit center.This field will be there in the costing view and and general sales/plant data.
while creation of the materila master if do not select these views system will not ask for that.Normally it is pertaining to the costing analysis.
A profit center manager is held accountable for both revenues, and costs (expenses), and therefore, profits. What this means in terms of managerial responsibilities is that the manager has to drive the sales revenue generating activities which leads to cash inflows and at the same time control the cost (cash outflows) causing activities. This makes the profit center management more challenging than cost centre management. Profit center management is equivalent to running an independent business because a profit center business unit or department is treated as a distinct entity enabling revenues and expenses to be determined and its profitability to be measured.
Business organizations may be organized in terms of profit centers where the profit center's revenues and expenses are held separate from the main company's in order to determine their profitability. Usually different profit centers are separated for accounting purposes so that the management can follow how much profit each center makes and compare their relative efficiency and profit. Examples of typical profit centers are a store, a sales organization and a consulting organization whose profitability can be measured.
