Missing Start Database file/folder
Hi,
I'm on a Windows 98 platform. When loading Oracle 8i Lite from cd secured on Trial License, 'Start Database' file/folder does not load. As a result, I can not open SQL Plus to access database (TNS destination error).
In as much as Win 98 does not have a 'Controls' folder in Control Panel, have not been able to workaround as might in NT.
Thanks in advance for your help

File Transfer (Missing start of file)
Hi there, I'm undertaking part of a software project at University and struggling to fix a piece of code myself and a friend have wrote after exhausing most of the good java programmers in our department.
We're simply trying to send files over a network via TCP, the main problem we're encountering is that if we send say a text file, a varying number of characters will appear missing. Normally we'll recieve between 300-400 of the 500 bytes we send for example, and these characters are always missing from the start of the file. Obviously this is the bit we need to fix, at the end we're aiming to be able to send media files (jpg, gif, txt, wav, avi) and hopefully objects aswell.
The way its intended to work at present is that the server sends file information to the client (filename and filesize), and then the client listens, and writes the same number of bytes as the filesize to the new file it creates (though I'm sure you'll work that out in seconds). The file has been read in, and wrote back on the server side just to ensure the reading/sending section was working which it was.
Server Side:

} I'd appreciate any help you can offer to fix the problem! Thanks
Ian WrightOK. There were some mistakes in the code. Some made by me, some by you.
First of all: The byte array which acts as a buffer for reading the file content from the socket cannot have the size of the whole file. Normally it is suggested to set to 8-32kB.
Second thing: I was too fast in giving you the idea of reading the details only once to an array. Sometimes the Client program is faster than the FileServer and although the array has space for "nameLength" bytes it reads a lot less. That way the details aren't recieved properly. To solve this I've added a loop that waits for the inputStream to retrieve enought data.
Last but not least: I've been told that it is not wise to close the socket at the server side. If you close the socket the OutputStream is cut off without a warning. Close the OutputStream instead.
I remember that you asked me to reply via e-mail but I think that posting the solution here will be more usfull to others. Here's the code:

Missing xlStartServer.bat file from Xellerate\bin folder in OIM 9.1.0.1
I have installed OIM9.1.0.1 with JBoss 4.2.3 as application server and Oracle10g as database on Windows 2003 Server m/c.
The installation process was successful and no error occurred in due course.
And now to start OIM, I need to run the xlStartServer.bat from <OIM_HOME>/xellerate/bin.
The problem is that this server start up file is missing in that folder.
I tried installing with a differnt copy of installables as well, but the problem is still there.
Could you please provide any pointers regarding this issue.I had tried starting the Jboss server and then starting the OIM.
But although Jboss started successfully, for starting OIM server console, i had typed http:\\localhost:8080\xlWebpp ,
but it could not find the application xlWebApp. -
Release 4: File Folder icon missing in SQL Worksheet
The file folder icon is now missing in the SQL Worksheet. Using File->Open just opens the file in the editor. There is no way to run the SQL file. Clicking on Run in menu across the top causes the "The target bogus.sql cannot be started because it is not a runnable target." error message.
The help for "Using the SQL Worksheet" shows the file folder icon on the screen shot.
How does one open a SQL file and run it in Release 4?
MikeThe File Open (or Open button on the main toolbar) works better in some respects - it opens in a SQL Worksheet (although not associated with a database connection), name s the tab with the filename, indicates a changed file by switching to italics in the tab name and requests confirmation on close if the file is modified.
However, the default directory is the <SQL Developer directory>/jdev and the file type defaults to all.
The Right-Click in SQL Worksheet opens the file from a default of C:\Documents and Settings\<username> (for me at least) with a file type of *.sql. The tab name is not renamed when opening the file (stays as the connection name) and there is no close confirmation if the file is modified.
The File Open makes it harder to lose stuff, but is a bit more work to use. As redoing lost work is more effort than switching file types and potentially more directory navigation on opening, I think the File Open option is better than the Right-click, but I would prefer something with the File Open functionality from within an existing SQL Worksheet. -

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

I can not upgrade from 10.2 to 10.6 because of missing "itunes.msi" file. I can not delete ITunes and start over either.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

What does a file folder with a question mark in it mean when the computer won't start?
What does a file folder with a question mark in it mean when the computer won't start?
There are four general causes of this issue:
1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.
