Is there any bug in the documentation??

hi guyes,
i am refering "Oracle® Data Guard Concepts and Administration 10g Release 2 (10.2) B14239-05 August 2008" to configure physical standby database on my same host having my primary database.
i told you it was my worst experience using any oracle documentation.
i am using oracle 10g R2,and followd all procedure to configure physical standby database,but i think there are some bugs in this document.
1. they have told to create controlfile for the stadby database but didnt ask to edit controlfile for new path of datafiles.
2.they have ask to copy all primary datafiles to stdby location,but when you try to open standby database,it dosent match the path of stdby datafile due to same controlfile.
these and there are many bugs are in this document.
they ask to edit tnsnames.ora file but dosent provide the procedure to do so.
i mean this is not the complete guide to follow.
a hopeless thing
is this a bug???
thanks and regards

i am using oracle 10g R2,and followd all procedure to configure physical standby database,but i think there are some bugs in this document.I'm assuming that you specifically mean Section 3.2 Step-by-Step Instructions for Creating a Physical Standby Database
1. they have told to create controlfile for the stadby database but didnt ask to edit controlfile for new path of datafiles.That isn't required if you follow the step by step guide since the example uses the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT database initialisation parameters. In particular see step2 and Example 3.5
2.they have ask to copy all primary datafiles to stdby location,but when you try to open standby database,it dosent match the path of stdby datafile due to same controlfile.
these and there are many bugs are in this document.If you have followed the steps as described in the document you won't get the errors that you describe above. You'll also note in the backup and recovery guides there is a similar example for database duplication on the same host which also uses the file_name convert parameters. If you still require help it might be useful to list the precise error and what you have set the relevant parameters to.
they ask to edit tnsnames.ora file but dosent provide the procedure to do so.They do however, directly in the step by step guide, refer to the relevant manual - the Net Services adminsitrators guide - that contains a section http://max00994:7777/docs/db10gr2/network.102/b14212/naming.htm#sthref700 on managing net service names, if you'd read it you'll see that there are 3 different tools that you could use and that the exact steps to follow depend on your environment, given this complexity it isn't unreasonable in my view to link you directly to where the information can be found rather than to include the best part of an entire chapter on service naming in the middle of a step-by-step guide.
i mean this is not the complete guide to follow.This particular guide does deal with standby configuration, complete with practical examples that do in fact work when followed diligently, I should know I've followed them previously on more than one occasion. It doesn't of course deal with underlying subject matter that is referenced elsewhere. I don't know what Oracle's target audience is for this book, but wouldn't think it unreasonable to assume that a dba considering building a dataguard installation was already familiar with Oracle SQLNet (it would certainly be required knowledge in my book).
a hopeless thing
is this a bug???As the documentation works as written I wouldn't consider it a bug. I don't personally like the particular names that Oracle have chosen for their examples, primarily because I don't like the idea of naming database services after physical location in a standby environment. You can however, if you have a support contract, log bugs against the documentation and Oracle do correct the bugs - though unfortunately in the next release of the docs and not online.

  • Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?

    Mac OS X has reserved characters that cannot be used in file or folder names. One of them is the colon: It is used by the operating system in paths to designated separate directories and files, exactly as Microsoft uses the backslash character for the same purposed.
    However, Mac OS X is 'supposed' to translate colons to another character when saving files from within an application or the Mac OS X Save dialog. The typical translation is to forward slash or dash. For example, "Bug: Colon Translation" becomes "Bug- Colon Translation". Of if I am saving a web page to a PDF, the source name of an article with this title would change to "Bug/ Colon Translation".
    The bug: The above colon translation process does NOT work reliably in the Mac OS X Save Dialog with reliability. I guestimate that 95% of the time the translation of colons in source titles does NOT work. Using the example of translating a web article title to a PDF saved file, the results are typically the following: "Untitled.pdf". This forces the user to copy then paste in the actual title of the article. THEN, 100% of the time, the colon translation actually works. For example, if I have a web article titled "Bug: Colon Translation", it is extremely rare for that title to be anything but BLOCKED, resulting in 'Untitled.PDF' as the resulting title in the dialog box. When I then copy and paste the source title into the title area, replacing 'Untitled', I get: "Bug- Colon Translation".
    What will happen perhaps 5% of the time: The colon translation of the source title will actually work. When this occurs, using my example above, the OS provides the following translation: "Bug/ Colon Translation". Note that when it works in this situation I get a forward slash, not a dash.
    I research, read and save web articles all day long. A lot of articles use colons. I have to contend with this bug all day long every day. This bug is many years old. I can't recall when it started. But it certainly has been consistent in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard and now 10.7 Lion. Three versions of Lion are enough for me to realize that Apple is either oblivious to this bug or they don't care.
    Clearly, the colon translation CAN work. It is MEANT to work. No one can dispute that. The user is NOT supposed to be messed over with 'Untitled.PDF' files. They are MEANT to have actual PDF file titles, as seen in our example above.
    Therefore the question:
    Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?
    It is incredibly annoying.

    My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
    I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh -  that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

  • Is there a bug in the as3 tween class

    Is there a bug in the as3 tween class that causes tweens to stop before completing. I read that there is and that a 3rd party tween class should be used. I'm just starting out learning as3 and experimenting but this would be good to know when I move onto more complex projects.
    Also the solution for this was to make your function global. Does this simply mean place your function in the top level of your movie.
    I have done research on this topic but I found many conflicting answers.
    Any assistance is welcome thanks in advance.

    the tween declaration (if you need one) must be placed within the scope of the function.  so, if the below function f() is defined in a movieclip, you can use any of the 3 (but don't use the last):
    ///////// most common use ////////////////////////////////////////
    var t:Tween;
    function f(){
    t=new Tween(...)
    /////// next most common use /////////////////////////////////////////
    //no declaration needed because the tween is not referenced anywhere outside the function so need not be assigned a variable
    function f(){
    new Tween(...)
    /////////// least common, not good coding, but possible ////////////
    // var t:Tween;  // declared on the root timeline, for example
    function f(){
    MovieClip(root).t=new Tween(...)
    p.s.  please mark correct/helpful answers

  • Is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version?

    In Adobe Photo Shop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version? I don't remember them having two versions in the past.

    Is there a difference? Sure. Will it be noticable? Maybe.
    The 9i client will use one of the 9i ODBC drivers. The 8i client will use one of the 8i ODBC drivers. The 9i drivers will generally have more bug fixes & more features than the 8i drivers. It is possible, though rare, that the 9i drivers will fix a bug whose behavior your application was dependent on and/or introduce bugs that were not in the earlier version. Of course, you have to consider the different features of the underlying clients as well-- i.e. a 9.2 Oracle client cannot communicate with a 7.3.4 database, an 8i client doesn't know how to handle data types introduced in 9i (i.e. TIMESTAMP), etc.

  • My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder.  Only a random fraction are copied.  It use to work perfect.  Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

    My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder.  Only a random fraction are copied.  It use to work perfect.  I can move them 4 or 5 at a time, but it is very time consuming.    Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

    OK - here is what I've done in the past.  As I want to be able to save my photos on  a DVD that can be read by both a PC and a Mac, I am burning them in Finder.  I start by downloading into IPhoto.  I'll flag and edit the ones I want to print or post to the web.  After that I want to take all the keepers and move them from IPhoto to various files I create in the document  section of Finder.  I've done it both ways in the past, copy and paste or just drag over, all the files would transfer over.  Now there may be dozens of pictures that do not move over - very random, in one case there were only 6 photos and the 3 vertical ones did not copy over.
    I'm wondering if this is a software issue or if there is just too much data being moved around.  FYI there are 2 Nikon cameras I use and the files from both do this.
    Thanks

  • Is there any restriction on the length of all Primary keys in a table

    Hi all,
    Is there any restriction on the length of all Primary keys in a data base table?
    i have some 10 fields as primary key in a DB table and length exceeds 120 and getting a warning.
    Please let me know will there be any problems in future with respect to the same?
    With regards,

  • Is there a bug in the new photoshop CS6 13.0.1.1 update? (Mac OS 10.7.5)

    Since installing the latest update of photoshop CS6 13.0.1.1, (Mac OS 10.7.5, iMac late 2009) I have noticed the following problems: when I double click on the panels bar, the panel does not collapse, I have to right click on the bar to get the panel to collapse.  Withe the curves adjustment layer, command clicking on the image does not register the point on the curve and command shift click will not set a point on the curves. this is all happening since the upgrade. Is it me or is there a bug in the update?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks M, you're right, I do have 13.0.1, it's just for some reason ive noticed some strange behavior in photoshop, can't figure out why. I still can't get my panels to collapse when double clicking the bar and the curves adjustment layer doesn't allow me to place a point using the eyedropper tool when clicking on the image, this has just recently started after reinstalling photoshop on my imac using the creative cloud application manager

  • JPA and CAF BO - are there any editors of the JPA data (like CAF)?

    Hello!
    As you know SAP invented some layer above JPA and called it CAF. There is a very convenient way to edit data in CAF.
    But now I have to create a complex database scheme, also with CAF doesn't allow us to work with objects. So we can't use someObject.getChildren().
    So my question is are there any editors of the JPA data (like it is done in CAF)?

    Hi Kirill,
    at the beginning of our project at the end of 2009, we did a deep analysis of CAF since our architect vehemently suggested to use this framework.
    First about the history and purpose of CAF: Initially, CAF was never meant to be a layer above CAF since CAF was invented in the time before EJB 3.0 and JPA standard where writing persistence with EJB 2.x CMP forced the developer to write pages of boiler plate code. This background was approved by SAP.
    With upcoming of JPA, CAF ist mostly useless (except for very simply structured data) and prevents you from writing good software.
    It is easy just to write @Entity, @Id and @OneToMany (for complex database schemes) and CAF forces you to use an ugly, imperformant database scheme (e.g. CAF uses mapping tables even for 1:n relationships, a clear antipattern!)
    The CRUD-services generated with CAF are a pain, too. Usage of pessimistic locking is not up to date for web applications.
    With your complex database schemes, you exceed the limit of CAF.
    (We decided not to use CAF and did never regret this.)
    Concerning your question: There is an "JPA Details" view in NWDS that might help you. It needs JPA Persistence facet on your project to work. Developed by SAP. For JPA beginners, it is a good cheat sheet for JPA annotations and their attributes.
    You do not need more since a JPA POJO is easy to code.
    Regards,
    Rolf

  • Is there any limitations to the maximum number of dimensions in MP?

    Hi,
    Maximum number of dimensions 16. Out of 16, 3 are system defined
    1.Datapacket
    2.Time
    3.Unit
    It is restricted to 16 because the maximum no of dimensions in any database is 16.

  • Is there any truth to the rumor that there is a virus attacking iphones in the form of an iOS update?

    Is there any truth to the rumor that there is a virus attacking iphones in the form of an IOS update?

    Absolutely not.
    There was a new piece of iOS malware discovered recently, but it, like all other known iOS malware, requires that the device be jailbroken. If your iOS device isn't jailbroken, there's no known malware capable of infecting it.

  • Is there any way that the magic mouse might work on the iPad?

    I just got the iPad 3 and is there any way that the magic mouse can work alone or with the keyboard on it? If not, can the mouse work with a PC?

    The magic mouse can't be used with an iPad simply because Apple has chosen not to include support for it.
    Which is fair enough. Where are you going to put this mouse in order to use it with an iPad... you need a handy flat surface... oh, I know - the iPad screen. Much easier than moving your fingertip around it.
    You would put it the same place you put the wireless keyboard.
    In fact the existing keyboard support is one of the big reasons many of us would like to see mouse support added. You see the problem is that when you use a keyboard you have to reach up and over to tap the iPad screen. By Steve Jobs own admission* the arm tires quickly when you have to do this repeatedly. In this particular situation a mouse would be more ergonomically sound.
    There is also the issue of access for the disabled. Although iOS does have many accessibility option, at present none of them help those with severe spinal damage or certain amputees. Including mouse support means you could also use devices like the "suck and puff"... A mouth controlled joystick designed for people with these disabilities.
