Modify data_warehouse.dbc to increase db_block_size?

Hi
I just want to create a new database (data warehouse) with a db_block_size of 32MB. I figured the easiest thing would be to select the data warehouse template in the DB Config Assistant. Unfortunately the db_block_size is set to 8MB. I was hoping that by editing the data_warehouse.dbc file's db_block_size param I could take get the block size I wanted while still taking advantage of the template. Unfortunately not. The Oracle DB is still created with 8MB db_block_size and gives the ORA-00058 error when it tries to mount.
Is there an easy way to do this or should I create the db w/out a template?
thanks
John

From what I've read (and I'm not really a system administrator) I get the impression that there is no great benefit in setting the DB block size to anything other than the OS/filesystem block size, typically around 4K-16K.

  • Modifying iDVD 6 Themes: increasing scene buttons

    For some reason iDVD themes is missing the most useful and simplest theme of all:
    A blank, full frame where you can place your own image or movie clip with the required buttons.
    I have figured out how to modify in iDVD 6 the Full Frame theme, eliminating the useless bands.
    This theme limits the number of scene buttons to 6, but I would like to have all the buttons on one page/panel in some case when there more than 6 chapters/scenes. What in the resources do I need to modify?
    Even more useful would be a document that describes the structure of the theme resources.
    Andy

    can't help you with the themes resources. Perhaps someone else can. But take a look at Karten's web site and also his replies on this forum for forcing more buttons per page in iDvd. For example:

  • ORA-30036 when modifying column in large table

    Oracle version 10.2.0.4
    Afternoon everyone!
    I have a large table that I need to modify a column in - increasing from CHAR(3) to CHAR(6)
    On altering the table I'm getting an ORA-30036: unable to extend segment but 8 in undo tablespace
    Increasing undo tbs size isn't really an option, and I don't really want to go copying the table elsewhere either - again due to space limitations.
    Is there a way to avoid this undo exhaustion? Will disabling logging for this table solve my issue? Or is there another way similar to the 'checkpoint' clause you can use when dropping columns?
    Many thanks!
    Adam M

    Just in case nothing better appears and you can't increase the UNDO ...
    1. Create a new table with the correct datatype
    2. Insert data from the old table to the new table, in batches if necessary. Divide the data by key values if possible or get a range of rowids to process or something
    3. Make sure dependent objects are created for the new table
    4. drop the old table
    5. rename the old table to the new table

  • SSRS 2008 R2 Services not restarting automatically after reboot

    SSRS 2008 R2  Reporting instance not restarting automatically after patches install.  Is there a way to resolve the issue
    Windows 2008 R2 Server
    16 GB RAM

    Hi,
    Follow this article to resolve the issue:
    Reporting Services service doesn't start after the installation of MS12-070 security patch
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mariae/archive/2012/11/12/reporting-services-service-doesn-t-start-after-the-installation-of-ms12-070-security-patch.aspx
    Workaround 1:
    Modify the registry to increase the default time-out value for the service control manager. To increase this value to 60 seconds, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit,and then click OK.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.
    3.  In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry.
    Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must créate it. To do this, follow these steps:
    a.On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    b.Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
    c.Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
    d.Click Decimal, type 60000, and then click OK.
    This value represents the time in milliseconds before
    Restart the computer for the changes to take effect. Check that SSRS services can be started now.
    You cannot start SQL Server Reporting Services after you apply the update that is discussed in KB 2677070

  • IWeb not updating published status within application

    I'm having a strange iWeb problem that just started up within the last day or so. When I publish any of the sites within my domain (I have seven separate "sites" that are all part of the same domain file) the updates get published to my site, but the icons in iWeb do not change color back to blue. This happens whether I choose to publish changes or publish all.
    Another symptom of this problem is that my published site (http://www.adamreisinger.com) does not reflect the changes online until about five minutes after iWeb gives me the dialog box that my site has been successfully updated.
    The only thing I've changed on my system recently is applying the last round of software updates, including the iLife update. I've tried trashing the application preferences and the iWeb cache and re-publishing, as well as logging out and logging back into MobileMe within System Preferences.
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the steps you outlined, and unfortunately the problem persists. Also, because the files were deleted from the Web folder the iDisk, iWeb is now under the impression that EVERY page has been modified, which has actually increased my publishing time.
    Some other troubleshooting steps I've taken to try and narrow down this problem:
    - I've tried publishing the domain from a newly created user account on the same computer (MBP running 10.6.2 and all latest updates applied)
    - I've tried copying the domain file to a different computer (one that has not had the latest iLife support update applied) and publishing from there
    - I've tried publishing to a different MobileMe account (a test account set up by Apple)
    - I deleted an entire site from the source list in iWeb (one that, fortunately, was not needed)
    After all these steps -- tried individually -- the issue persists.

    sorry for this long mail, but we are really stuck and need to move forward,
    looking for your help.

    Hi,
    The Service Control Manager will generate an event if a service does not respond within the defined timeout period (the default timeout period is 30000 milliseconds). You could modify the registry to increase the default time-out value for the service control
    manager.
    For more detailed information, please see:
    Event ID 7011: Service Timeout
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13765.event-id-7011-service-timeout.aspx
    The Event 12362 indicates that a destination LUN could not be located or could not be restarted. You could refer to the article below to troubleshoot the issue:
    Event ID 12362 — VSS Shadow Copy Provider Operations

    and am curious what the following recommendation means: "To work around this problem, increase the size of the OEM partition on the backup drive."
    What OEM partition?  My backup drive has a single NTFS partition consuming the entire capacity of the HDD.  What am I doing wrong?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    After increasing the size of 1 partition, the System Image utility completed without error.  To fully confirm, I need to try an image restore.
    The long answer is noteworthy (refer to the attached).  I used 3 different methods to query partition size and usage. 
    1. Disk Management shows that 4 of the 5 partiions are 100% free space.  What I don't understand is how the System Image utility of Windows 8.1 understands the partition sizes/usage but Disk Management does not.
    2.  Macrium Reflect gives what appears to be an accurate representation of the partitions and their size/usage.  It also includes a (hidden?) partition not shown in Disk Management, thus 6 instead of 5 partitions.
    3. MiniTool Partition Wizard agrees for the most part with Macrium Reflect with two notable exceptions.  It shows the 128MB partition has zero free space (vs 113.7MB = 89% free space using Macrium Reflect).  This is a BIG difference.  Also, the C partition showed slightly different usage than Macrium Reflect.
    In the end, I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to modify 1 partition only (increase the 350MB partition to 414MB, resulting in a little more than the mandatory 50MB free space).  The System Image operation then completed without error.
    What baffles me is why 3 different utilities give different results of partition usage (I think they all agree on partition size).  I would have never thought that determining partition usage was akin to rocket science, but perhaps it is...

  • Compton, Openbox and Catalyst 14

    Hi.
    I'm new with Arch Linux, Openbox and Compton, so...
    I install compton and after that ATI driver... when I do that...the screen freeze and I can't see what I type/click, but if I kill the process (CTRL+ATL+F2, ps aux, kill -9...), everything is back again.
    I use the Vi0L0's catalyst, and the compton.conf you can see below.
    How can I fix that, for enable transparency, shadow and of course: Steam.

    I install that (from the arch wiki):
    Once you have added some Catalyst repository, update pacman's database and install these packages (see #Tools for more information):
    - catalyst-hook
    - catalyst-utils
    - catalyst-libgl
    - opencl-catalyst - optional, needed for OpenCL support
    - lib32-catalyst-utils - optional, needed for 32-bit OpenGL support on 64-bit systems

    - lib32-opencl-catalyst - optional, needed for 32-bit OpenCL support on 64-bit systems
    So... after that I get:
    - Videos in browser (firefox/chrome/chromium) freeze in fullscreen
    - Resize windows is slowly
    - Teamviewer stop working
    - Record screen stop working
    - Sometimes I can't see what I'm typing... but after kill compton, everything appears
    I try using default compton.conf and "no" compton.conf... same problem.
    Sorry for my english

  • Template Datafile Location issue

    Hello,
    I previously created a new database template based on an existing database. I later deleted this template i created. Now when i attempt to create a new database with the DBCA using ANY template, i.e. General Purpose etc, i receive a DBCA screen that was not displayed before.
    The screen is labelled; Template Datafile Location
    It gives the following message:
    The template datafile “{ORACLE_HOME}\assistants\dbca\templates\Data_Warehouse.dfj” specified in the template doesn’t exist. Specify new location of the template datafile:
    I looked in the registry and made sure the parameter for {ORACLE_HOME} is the same as the location of the 'assistants' folder.
    The template files currently in the “{ORACLE_HOME}\assistants\dbca\templates\ location are;
    Data_Warehouse.dbc
    General_Purpose.dbc
    New_Database.dbt
    Transaction_Processing.dbc
    Transaction_Processing.dfj
    Any useful advice would be appreciated. Thank you

    Hello,
    My mistake, the files are *.dfj as you say.
    I am using Oracle 9i on a Windows server. I will look into the files on the disks and i will check if any of my colleagues have these files in thier systems too.
    Thanks again.
    I don't know what may have occurred to delete them!!!

  • How to Edit an Existing Oracle Database 11g Template

    I fat fingered a file specification in an Oracle 11g database creation template on Solaris 10. Is there a way to edit the template without deleting it and starting over?
    Also, is there a way to import an existing template into a different $ORACLE_HOME?

    Actually, I have both in mine, but the .dbt files I have are the ones that I saved (at the end of using the dbca when it ask you to save your template and give it a file name). I think the .dbt stands for database template.

    See 'Modifying an Existing Column Definition' in the DBA Guide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/tables006.htm#i1006645
    Use the ALTER TABLE...MODIFY statement to modify an existing column definition. You can modify column datatype, default value, column constraint, column expression (for virtual columns) and column encryption.
    You can increase the length of an existing column, or decrease it, if all existing data satisfies the new length. You can change a column from byte semantics to CHAR semantics or vice versa. You must set the initialization parameter BLANK_TRIMMING=TRUE to decrease the length of a non-empty CHAR column.
    If you are modifying a table to increase the length of a column of datatype CHAR, realize that this can be a time consuming operation and can require substantial additional storage, especially if the table contains many rows. This is because the CHAR value in each row must be blank-padded to satisfy the new column length.
    And the ALTER TABLE statement in the SQL Language doc
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_3001.htm#SQLRF01001
    modify_col_properties
    Use this clause to modify the properties of the column. Any of the optional parts of the column definition (datatype, default value, or constraint) that you omit from this clause remain unchanged.
    datatype You can change the datatype of any column if all rows of the column contain nulls. However, if you change the datatype of a column in a materialized view container table, then Oracle Database invalidates the corresponding materialized view.
    You can omit the datatype only if the statement also designates the column as part of the foreign key of a referential integrity constraint. The database automatically assigns the column the same datatype as the corresponding column of the referenced key of the referential integrity constraint.
    You can always increase the size of a character or raw column or the precision of a numeric column, whether or not all the rows contain nulls. You can reduce the size of a datatype of a column as long as the change does not require data to be modified.The database scans existing data and returns an error if data exists that exceeds the new length limit.

  • Smartforms - Change a text elements character Format

    Hello,
    I need to modify a Smartform by increasing the font size on some text elements.  When I highlight the text element to change and then click the dropdown for Character Format I can click the format I would like but it never changes.
    I've also tried resetting the character formats but it always gets back to it orginal size/settings.
    How can I change the character format in a text element?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    It appears I have to delete the field then change the character format to the font I want and finally drop the field back into place on the screen.
    If there is another way to do it, I never found it.
    Switching to the classic editor may work as well.  Worth trying.
    Thanks,
    Matt
