Is there a way to include the sys.aud$ table in a full database dp export?

I am doing an export using the following parfile information:
userid=/
directory=datapump_nightly_export
dumpfile=test_expdp.dmp
logfile=test_expdp.log
full=y
content=all
However when I run this I do not see the sys.aud$ in the log file. I know I can do a seperate export to specifically get the sys.aud$ table but is there any way to include it in with my full export?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

here's more background infomation... I have some audits setup on my database for one of my users. Every quarter I have an automated job that runs that creates a usage/statics report for this person using data in aud$. at the end of the job I export the aud$ table and truncate it. However last quarter I found that there was a mistake in my report and my export did not run properly thus my audit data was gone. i also have full datapump exports that run daily but found that aud$ was not there. so that is why I thought I'd like to include sys.aud$ in the full datapump exports.
i understand why other sys tables would be left out of a full export but aud$ data cannot be reproduced so to me it makes sense to include it in a full export.
don't worry, we run our true backups using rman which is eventually how I got the aud$ data back by creating a copy of my database up until the time of the truncate. however this was quite time consuming.

Is there a way to control the number of concurrent SMTP connections on Database Mail?

Las week Rackspace started controlling the number of concurrent SMTP connections and we are now getting the following message when we send as little as 15 messages at a time using Database Mail:
Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Service not available, closing transmission channel. The server response was: 4.7.0 smtp13.relay.dfw1a.emailsrvr.com Error: too many connections from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

Is there a way to control the number of concurrent SMTP connections used by Database Mail or the Database Mail external executable DatabaseMail90.exe?

Hi rkohler,
Usually, we can use the Database Mail Configuration Wizard or the Database Mail stored procedures to determine the server name and port number for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server . In the SMTP server points, we can set or increase the number
of concurrent connections.
There is similar issue about database email on SQL Server 2005, you can refer to the following post.

Some objects in sys schema not imported usinf full database import/export.

Hello All,
We need to migrate database from one server to new server using same database version 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0). We have some production objects in sys schema. We took full export using full=y and then import on new server using full=y. Other objects belonging to different tablespaces and users has successfully imported but production objects i.e table in sys schema not import.
We used following commands for export and import:
# exp system file=/u01/backup/orcl_full_exp.dmp log=/u01/backup/orcl_full_exp.log full=y statistics=none
# imp system file=/u01/backup/orcl_full_exp.dmp log=/u01/backup/orcl_full_imp.log full=y ignore=y
Kind Regards,
Sharjeel

Hi,
First of all it is not good practice to keep user object in the sys schema
second you are useing version 11gr2 what not you go for datapump export/import method.
third, did you get any error in import, what is the error

Is there any way to include the BizTalk Application Description after exporting the MSI?

Anything I put in my biztalk app Description field(see first image), it shows up in the Comments attribute of the exported MSI file. But if I edit the
Comment attribute(see second image) and then import the MSI file, the edited comment does not reflect in the BizTalk app description. How can I push that description from MSI file?

You can’t set the comment/Description property of the msi from the msi file. MSI is read-only, any changes doesn’t affect the conent of the msi. An
installer package is "compiled" by reading the instructions from the database and created as the .msi file.
When you export an application as msi, its details are retrieved from
BizTalkMgmtDb. In the case of description of the BizTalk application, it is retrieved from the
nvcDescription
column of the bts_application table.
select nvcName,nvcDescription from dbo.bts_application
Once msi has been exported it’s a complied package, any changes to the msi file are not updated to the content of the file. Same way when you import an msi into BizTalk, it actually create relavant
entries into the BizTalk databases.

Sys.aud$ Table not accesible over PL/SQL ?

I try to do the follow.
When you start the auditing with specific command like AUDIT
SESSION; it will produce many many rows in the sys.aud$ table.
This is the reason while we need to maintain the data witch exist
then in thsi table.
I did try it to do this with a separate user like AUDITER.
I gave them from the sys user the follow permissions:
GRANT select, delete, update , insert to AUDITER;
If i try now to select from SYS.AUD$ it works if i do it with a
separet select statement like :
SELECT * FROM SYS.AUD$.
If i make a PROCEDURE like folow :
PROCEDURE proceed_audit as
CURSOR audtab is select * from sys.aud$
BEGIN
END;
Oracle generate the message :
PLS-00201: identifier 'SYS.AUD$' must be declared
I don't anderstand this message, becose this object exists and in
"SQL" i can use it.
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks
P.S. it's the Oracle version 8.1.7i

Are you sure the user that is executing the PL/SQL block has
direct grants to the tables you are referencing? I.E. NOT
through a role? PL/SQL requires the user to have direct grants
to the object it references. Granting DBA to the user won't have
any affect on the execution of the PL/SQL

Strange issue on deleting some rows on SYS.AUD$ table

I just found out this strange thing happened on my 10gR2 database. I created a user called AUDIT_LOG and GRANT DELETE, REFERENCES, SELECT ON SYS.AUD$ TO AUDIT_LOG when I logged on as SYS dba.
(1) Then I logged on as AUDIT_LOG user, tested the following statements:
SELECT count(*) from sys.aud$ where ntimestamp# < TRUNC (SYSDATE-14);
COUNT(*)
2
DELETE from sys.aud$ where ntimestamp# < TRUNC(SYSDATE-14);
0 rows deleted
(2) When I logged on as SYS account, SYS deleted them all,
DELETE from sys.aud$ where ntimestamp# < TRUNC(SYSDATE-14);
2 rows deleted
I don't understand why the AUDIT_LOG user can't delete that two rows?
Thanks for your help!
lixidon

Apologies for misreading the first time. I am wondering if the rows in question were related to audit actions on sys.aud$ itself as those rows should not be deleted by the AUDIT_LOG user (even if the user has been granted delete).
Here's an excerpt from the Security Guide under the "Protecting the Standard Audit Trail" section:
Audit records generated as a result of object audit options set for the SYS.AUD$ table can only be deleted from the audit trail by someone connected with administrator privileges, which itself has protection against unauthorized use.
Here's a quick example illustrating this:
SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> grant delete, references, select on sys.aud$ to scott;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> connect scott/tiger
Connected.
SQL> select count(*) from sys.aud$ where sessionid = 30002;
COUNT(*)
2
1 row selected.
SQL> delete from sys.aud$ where sessionid = 30002;
2 rows deleted.
SQL> commit;
-- now try to delete the sys.aud$ rows related to the above delete
-- this will not succeed as user scott even though delete has been granted
-- the session that performed the delete is 422426
SQL> select count(*) from sys.aud$ where obj$name = 'AUD$' and action# = 7 and sessionid = 422426;
COUNT(*)
2
1 row selected.
SQL> delete from sys.aud$ where obj$name = 'AUD$' and action# = 7 and sessionid = 422426;
0 rows deleted.

Is there any way to include all the info on a form as an attachment?

Hi. I would like to find out if there is a way to include the same info that is entered in the fields of a standard html form as a data file attachment? I'm thinking along the lines of an xml file that would usually be sent to the recipient once a pdf form has been filled in and submitted.
By default (in my case anyway) when an online form is submitted by somebody, whatever info was entered in the fields will simply display in the body of the email. That's fine if it's an occasional form that's submitted but if we plan to make this a standard method of submitting data, thus greatly increasing submissions, (as opposed to filling in pdf forms - which don't work for our employees on smartphones) AND I want to gather the data and put it in a sort of a simple database (excel spreadsheets is fine!) then obviously we'll want to make this easy on ourselves and avoid having to manually enter the information received into a spreadshhet every time data is received.
I'm not looking into setting up a full online database (despite the fact that might seem a nice (long-term) solution), as that would be unncessary for this kind of 'minor' exercise at the moment - I'd just like to see if there's a cost free solution to force a submitted html form to also send a data attachment (e.g xml) to the recipient. Thanks in advance.

There is nothing within DW that can do this for you. You also cannot go straight from HTML to an emailed XML file, which is likely why you couldn't find anything online about it.
You will need to find out what server scripting language(s) your hosting company supports (php is a common one).
Once you know that, you'll need to create/purchase/download a script in that language that you attach your html form to in order for it to be converted by your server and sent to your email as an XML file, again php is a very common choice for this.
As Murray suggests, there are a lot of sources online once you know which language you can use.

Is there a way to mute the background music in a slideshow so the audio of an included video can be heard?

I am running iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2 (710.42) on a MacBook Pro. Some of the slide shows I have developed have videos included along with photos. I have added background music to these slide shows with the sideshow music selector. The videos have audio that I want the viewer to hear, however the background music continues to play and the video audio is hard to hear, and when there is music in the audio of the video, the two musical pieces tend to clash. Is there a way to mute the background music so the audio of the video can be clearly heard?
Thanks,
Dave

That's called 'ducking' and no, not with iPhoto. You need something with more control of the soundtrack.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Is there a way to have the email notifications include the PDF form?

Is there a way to have the email notifications include the PDF form?

Very Disappointing. You fill out a Form and you can't get the Form via E-Mail :-(
Only the information you filled in in the empty fields.
I designed a contract formular for customers.
The customer fills out the PDF in the web form.
Via E-Mail notification i get the infos the client entered in the form.
But not the PDF itself.
So i have to enter the web frontend search the data and download the filled in form from there.
After downloading the form i have to e-mail the form to the customer and the mailing list by hand ...
I would think that it is an obvious feature that you can e-mail copy of what is entered (together with the text of the formular!) as an pdf attachement and not only the entered fields ...
Maybe someon can check this feature request. (Attach entered form as PDF to the notification E-Mail).
It would also be great if you would have the possibility to enter an E-Mail Adress for CC insinde the formular :-)

Is there any way to repeat the last action on a new selection?

I'm playing with Pages to see if I can use it instead of Word. I'm very expert with Word, just starting with Pages. Like some things, don't like some, but I think it's worth continuing to play with it to see if it will work for me. One problem I've been having is repeating an action. In Word, if you do something (in the particular situation I just had, it was deleting a row in a table), and then click on another place and do command-Y, it repeats what you did. Similarly, if you format a word as bold, say, and then select another word and do command-Y the second word will also be made bold. I realize the latter can be done in pages by selecting "emphasis" style for the second word, but I couldn't figure out any work-around for deleting the table rows (I tried selecting several non-adjacent rows, but "delete row" was greyed out on the actions menu). Any way to do this that I've missed?

Thanks anyway. I'm sorry that Apple didn't include a "repeat" keyboard shortcut - going to the Inspector and then the actions wheel and then "delete row" time after time wasn't fun.
I'm afraid I failed to communicate well about outline format - I didn't mean a bulleted or numbered list, I do know how to do that, but rather making a single character (or in my particular interest a symbol, the diamond and heart suit symbols) appear in outline text format. You can do it by going to format->font->outline, but if I want to do it for several occurrences of the same thing (or a few different things), it's not much fun to do it that way. But maybe I can define a character format that's outline and that will work. Still would prefer to have a keyboard shortcut to apply the character format though.
Incidentally, while I'm talking about diamonds and hearts, is there any way to change the amount of space that gets put in after the diamond and heart symbols if you insert them using Edit->Special Characters? I write a lot of documents that use those symbols and lines end up unevenly spaced because of the large amount of space below each symbol (I've figured out a partial work-around - I defined a style for "body after suit symbol" that is raised enough to get the line spacing right, but that only works when I want to have a hard return at the end of the line with the suit symbols, since if the lines wrap, both lines have to have the same paragraph formatting. This problem isn't really Pages related - I have the same difficult with Word .

Is there a way of changing the jdevappunknown_ folder that Ant deploys to?

Using Ant DeployESBSuitcase doesn't work when deploying Projects with dependencies.
Steps to re-create error:
Create a JDeveloper ESB Project called ‘ProjectB’ and add file adapter called ‘WriteFile’ to write a file. Deploy this project using JDeveloper.
Create another JDeveloper ESB Project called ‘ProjectA’ and add a file adapter called ‘ReadFile’ to read a file.
From ProjectA’s routing service add a routing rule and use ‘Browse Target Service Operation’ (Gear wheel icon) and select the deployed ProjectB_WriteFile service.
Deploy ProjectA using JDeveloper.
Use Ant to create a deploymentplan file for both projects by running the ExtractESBDeploymentPlan target.
Note: As these projects are saved under their own directory structure
C:\Workspace\Local\ProjectA and C:\Workspace\Local\ProjectB you will need to copy the ..\ProjectB\ProjectB_WriteFile.wsdl to the ProjectA folder.
Confirm that ProjectA and ProjectB Ant build files DeployESBSuitcase properties (esbMetadataServerHost and esbMetaServerPort) point to another server other than the one you have just deployed ProjectA and ProjectB to using JDeveloper. i.e. a clean server that doesn’t know about these Projects
Deploy ProjectB using Ant’s DeployESBSuitcase target.
Deploy ProjectA using Ant’s DeployESBSuitcase target.

James,
Following my steps above I don't get anything in the deploymentPlan for either ProjectA or ProjectB which includes a WSDL URL I can modify.
ProjectA includes the ProjectB_WrieFile.esbsv file which contains the following line:
<wsdlURL>esb:///ESB_Projects/Local_ProjectB/ProjectB_Write.wsdl</wsdlURL>
Is there something I can change which will mean when I regenerate the deploymentPlan it will include the WSDL location?
Thanks

Is there a way to affect the URL used when running a report subscription?

We are using SQL Server 2008 R2. I am finding out that when running a report subscription to extract a file in csv format, an extra blank line is created at the bottom (i.e., extra line feed), and the mysterious BOM characters also get inserted at
the beginning. Both of these "features" are causing problems with a client's import of these files. Of course, it affects multiple clients.
I have done some research and have found information on how to edit the rsconfigserver file to render CSV files using ASCII and to not use Excel formatting. This removes both "features"/problems stated above.
However, editing the server config file will affect all csv extractions on that report server. Is there a way to control the URL of a specific report subscription to include these values (so only the reports that need the fix get it)? For example,
someone gave this URL as an example of how to add parameters including encoding in the URL. http://MyReportServer/ReportServer?%2fReport+Folder%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=CSV&rc:Encoding=ASCII
Is there a way to have the report subscription run the report using a URL like this so it extracts it without the BOM characters? I was thinking a data driven subscription would allow me to set the values like this, but these parameters are only pertinent
AFTER the report is run and only needed for the final rendering. Not sure how to do this. Maybe it's not possible. If it's not, that's fine. I just need to write a proposal to our DBA's to talk them into making a couple edits to the server config
file.
Has anyone ever worked around this before in SSRS?
Thank you!!
Dana

Hi DanaSSRS,
According to your description, you want to have some report exported into CSV file with ASCII encoding when running a subscription. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we run the subscription, it will call the Render Extension as we configured in rsreportserver.config file, we can't set the Render format with ASCII Encoding on subscription level. As you said, the Render Extension we configured
in the rsreportserver.config will apply to all reports. In this scenario, you only want that extension apply to specific reports. For your requirement, we suggest you add a custom Render Extension in configure file. You just need to copy the CSV Extension
and add a <OverrideNames/> to override a new name. Then set the <Encoding> in <Configure>. And you can select this custom Extension when creating the subscription. This might be the most effective workaround.
Reference:
Customizing Rendering Extension Parameters in RSReportServer.Config
CSV Device Information Settings
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou
