Is Multimaster Timesten replication a good option for huge data volumes?

Hi,
There are 3 timesten nodes in our production setup .There will be around 5 million rows in each node initially which will gradually increase to about 10 million.Once our application moves to production, there will be around 50-70 transactions per second in each node , which need to be replicated on to the other node.
Initially we thought of going with Active-Standby-Subscriber replication.However in this case if active and standby node go down,then it will be a site failure case.So is Active-Active (Multimaster replication) configuration a good option ? Will data collision happen when replication happens in both directions?
Thanks in advance.

Multi-master replication is rarely a good idea. You will get data collisions unless you rigorously partition the workload. Conflict detection and resolution is not adequate to guarantee consistency over time. Recovery back to a consistent state after a failure is complex and error prone. I'd strongly advise against a multi-master setup, especially for a high volume system.
You seem to be concerned that 2 out of the 3 systems may fail resulting in a site outage. The likelihood of that is small if you have set things up with separate power etc. With the A/S pair based approach you would still have query capability if the two master systems failed. The chances of all 3 systems failing is not that much less than of just 2 failing in reality I would say (depending on the reason for the failure).

Apple TV good option for renting movies?

I'm thinking of getting the Apple TV and one of the things I'd be looking to do on it would be to rent movies. Is it a good option for renting movies? If so, is there a huge selection of rentals? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is plenty to choose from with New Releases and a decent back catalogue. It all depends on what you're looking for. Time it takes to load depends on your network (2.5mbps for SD, 6mbps for instant 720P, 8mbps for 1080P). It will be 'ready to play' once enough has loaded in order to play without interuption.

Delta Option for Generic Data Source

Hi ,
My requirement is Delta Option for Generic Data Source. This Data Source is getting Extracted from Function Module.
For this requirement I have followed below steps.
1) Added the Field (On which Delta gets enabled) to the extract structure by using Append Structure
2) Enabled Delta On this Filed.
3) If I try to save the Data Source, I have gone to a screen where I am able to see 4 coloumns
a) Selection
b) Hide Field
c) Inversion
d) Filed Only known in User Exit.
By default Hide Field and Filed Only known in User Exit check boxes have been checked.
Would you please tell what is the use of Filled Only known in User Exit check biox.
As My data source is getting the data buy using the Function Module, Shall I uncheck this Check Box.
Thanks and Regards,
K.Krishna Chaitanya.

Hi Krishna,
The "FIELD" should be checked if we write any enhancement in CMOD, so that system can identify that this particular field has enhancement written to it,
But even in real time systems i usually find that even though we check the "FIELD" or not , there is no effect .
So Checking "FIELD" or not will not impose any isses .

Krishna

TDMS for reduce data volume

Hi Experts,
We have implemented TDMS and installed in all systems.
Our system landscape is like - DEV, QUAL and PRDN (ECC system)
we would like to use TDMS for reduce data volume in non production systems.
We have one more project system which is in the transport line.
Could any one please inform which is the best scenario to use TDMS for reducing data volume in non-production systems without much distrubance in production system.
Also how it is taking care of development system, since the customization will be overwritten in DEV system.
Thank you in advance.
Shylesh

Hi Shylesh,
you can use several packages to reduce your data. If you need application data you can use a time slice (package TDTIM), if you don't need it you can use the master data and customizing option (TDMDC).
I suppose you are going to transfer from one client to another so best thing to do is to create a new client on dev if you still need the old customizing settings.
Concerning the impact of the productive environment. Can you give me an idea on the database size ?
Regards,
Eddy

Is Data Guard good option for Operational Reports

One of our DBA has suggested to have data guard to produce real time or nearly real time(15 min. delay) operational reports, by which we can remove the load on OLTP system. Is it a good practice to use data guard for reporting purpose? what if Production OLTP system goes down (planned or unplanned maintenance), will data guard act as production OLTP database? Can any one in this forum provide some help to understand data guard concept?

Whether this is a good option or not depends on a lot of factors - including which version of Oracle you are using, and what your operating system you have selected.
In it's simplest form, Data Guard is the controller for hot standby synchronization and database failover. But, once you have a hot standby you may want to use it for other things. That additional use involves compromise - for example, while the standby is used for reporting, it is not applying the sync'ing data [as fast] and there could be unacceptable delays.
I encourage you to start with the Oracle portal for Data Guard and get familiar with come of the white papers. Move forward to the documentation and the forum dedicated to the technology.

Options for sending data

My epic app (DMX 2004) is in the final stages and I'm stuck
again, I'm sorry to say.
The app allows users to browse a catalogue of items and add
them to a basket. Once the user is happy they can create their
order, including their details, which I've loaded into a sprite,
using the HTML property, AND saved to a file on the users local
disk.
Great. Now I need to get it to us. As part of the final
ordering process I create a 'real' HTML file and use Dir to open
this using goToNetPage, which contains the order itself and
whatever else I want. What I need now is a way in which the user
can
automatically send the order file to our email address. As I
understand it, the mailto tag 'attachment' rarely works and is
considered a security risk in any case.
What are my options? I have a file on the users hard drive
that is a nicely formatted order and I need to get it emailed to us
in the simplest (for the user) way possible.
Any ideas or suggestions gratefully received.
Jon

What are my options for a data plan + upgrade?

So my old phone (Samsung Intensity) broke today, and I'm looking to upgrade to a smartphone. I would prefer an iPhone, but really it's not that big of a deal if I get a Droid. I'm eligible for an upgrade currently. What are my options for a smartphone and a data plan? I'm looking for what's the cheapest option as far as this goes. People tell me an iPhone is free with an upgrade, and that the cost is $20 a month, but I just want to be sure.

Unless you have an old calling plan, you should be able to add a tiered data plan for your new smartphone (i.e., $30 for 2 GB). If you switched to the Share Everything plan, your monthly cost would be $40 line access + at least $50 for 1 GB data (includes unlimited minutes/texts and mobile hotspot, although the hotspot data usage comes out of your data plan), plus, of course, taxes/fees (and insurance, if applicable).
You can check pricing for phones via your on-line MyVerizon account if you click on the Upgrade button. If you are mainly interested in free phones (keep in mind that there's a $30 upgrade fee), there's the Nokia Lumia 822, Spectrum 2, Droid Razr M, iPhone 4, Galaxy Stellar, Marauder, Rhyme, and the Lucid. Several of those are 3G phones.

Options for auditing data changes

Hi Friends,
I thought I will get some inputs on my following implementation. The requirement is to audit some data changes with in the system.( Oracle 10.2 on RHEL 4.7 )
The audit is required in a sense that, the before images of data and information of who changed the data is required. I have looked at options like Oracle Auditing,FGA and so. But this cannot give me audit for the data changes,when and who changed.
The first thing that comes into my mind are using triggers . Another option is using log miner. I have successfully tested it out with both of these approaches. The environment is like
1 ) For some critical tables for which audit is required triggers were written ( ours is an OLTP application )
2 ) For some non critical tables, log miner which was called by a stored procedure which runs at certain periods is used.
3 ) audit data is stored in a different schema , with same table names as in base schema.
I would like to know your thoughts on this.
Thank You,
SSN

The delay with log miner is acceptable with some less critical audit tables and as you said, tirggers can be implemented for some critical tables.
One bottleneck with using logminer is that it depends on the availability of archived redo logs, the backup mechanism if any implemented should make sure that, no archive logs are removed from the locations specified for the audit program. The backup mechanism should ensure that all archived logs are processed by periodically running audit program which uses log miner.
Wondering if there is any other recommended approach for this.
Thanks
SSN

[SOLVED]Alsamixer - the "mute" option for the Master volume is missing

Hej!
After the recent update the Mute option is missing for the Master volume but I can mute sound for PCM.

Okay, can you provide documentation/reference to back that up? Should you mean, there is no difference in how you system behaves, yes, that is very likely, since the second line is correct, so the cmi would be at index 0 either way.
Andy_Crowd wrote:Mute shows only when I am installing pulseaudio.
In alsamixer? PA runs on top of alsa, so the controls for alsamixer should stay the same. Do you mean another mixer maybe?
You still did not provide the relevant part of pacmans log and amixer output for both cards. Are you certain you used the cmi as default the whole time? Is the snd-hda-intel a hdmi sound card?

Are Photoshop Express and Lightroom Mobile good options for a Dragon tablet? [was: help me with my tablet]

Hey guys, I ask a question before about my tablet I have a dragon touch and I was told it won't be able to download the photoshop or lightroom. I was told to download photoshop express or lightroom mobile. are those options just as good.

You're referring to this earlier discussion: My tablet isnt downloading the creative cloud
No need to create a new discussion on the same topic. Just go back to the other one and click Reply to keep the conversation going.
Your Dragon tablet runs the Android mobile operating system so you have to run mobile apps on it. You cannot run the full desktop versions since they're not designed to run on your tablet.
Those mobile apps offer similar functionality (but nowhere near everything) to the desktop versions but in an environment which makes sense on a tablet e.g. touch controls.

Options for moving data

I'm moving some rather large tables between two Oracle 10 instances.
In simple words I would like to copy a schema from one database to another. Simple, you say? Not so!
I cannot use Oracle data pump on the target host as I lack the required privileges (Oracle Data Pump is essentially a server side tool unlike the old 'imp' and 'exp' tools which are client-side tools).
The first option I try is good old-fashioned exp and imp. The export is pretty fast. Only 1 hour. Then comes the import which is painfully slow (we are talking an estimated 2-3 days). The reason is that Oracle is doing a commit per row because the tables contains TIMESTAMP columns. I'm wondering what is so special about TIMESTAMP columns that it forces Oracle not to use array inserts?? Anyway the restriction is fully documented by Oracle.
(Utilities Guide for Oracle 10.2 database, see description on import parameter BUFFER).
The tables I'm loading into have no indexes and there are no indexes as part of the dump file. Furthermore the target tables have been pre-allocated in size so they do not need to extend as part of the import. Lastly logging is turned off on these tables. So all should be in place for fast 'imp' performance. However not so because of the TIMESTAMP restriction. Hmmm.
Then I try other options. How about the COPY command in SQL*Plus. With this you can control the frequency of the commit. Unfortunately the COPY command only works on tables with colums of type CHAR, DATE, LONG, NUMBER and VARCHAR2. In other words: I cannot use this solution either.
What are my options? I simply want to move data from one Oracle 10 to another with reasonable performance. All together we are talking about 5-6 Gb data. Not a lot by modern standards. Why is it so difficult? Am I overlooking something obvious?
Thanks.
Edited by: user491370 on Apr 19, 2009 9:27 AM

Thank you for responding.
I've considered dumping the data into a flat file and using SQL*Loader to import as you suggest but this would require some scripting on a per-table basis. Again: all I want to do is to copy the contents of a table from one database to another. I do not think I should have to resort to creating my own dump and load scripts in order to do that. However I agree with you that this type of solution may be my final solution.
I've tried the db link solution. It was just a slow as the 'imp' solution for some reason. Don't know why. The tables are rather large (3 tables of a few Gb each) and therefore require intermediate commits when loaded. Otherwise the rollback segment will run out of space. So the 'db link solution' is really a PL/SQL script with a commit for each x records.
I think Oracle is making it a bit difficult for me to copy the contents of a table from one database to another and to do it efficiently. Perhaps I'm missing something here?
