Need 2 copies of archivelogs

I need 2 copies of my archivelogs.
1 local in my Flashback recovery area
and 1 to another server over nfs.
What oracle parameter i need to change and to which value?
Also, is this mount command is ok for the archivelog location over nfs?
I mean, do i use proper mount setting for oracle?
mount -t nfs -o hard,proto=tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr pos:/usr/local/juk-prod/archive /mnt/pos/archive
At this moment im only using 1 archivelog location in the FRA:

The name of the archivelog file in my FRA is o1_mf_1_14_3bnjm72h_.arc
And the name of the archivelog file in my second dest is 0000000014_0001_627728462.arc
Whys the archivelog name is different?
Can it be the same?
if so how?
also, the archivelog in the fra are nicely put in folder for each day like the following:
[oracle@orcltest archivelog]$ ll
total 32

How can i do this for my second archivelog destination?

  • PDF with multiple invoices I need collated copies printed

    First off, I would like to say I am an IT professional so the obvious things I have already tried.  Here is the situation:
    I have a business application that outputs shipping invoices and packing slips into a PDF.  That single PDF has many slips and some are multiple pages long.  I need to print 3 copies of each slip as part of the business SOP.  Right now I have to manually collate each one and it takes hours.  The printer does support collating, BUT it treats it as a single document.  Not a document that has multiple documents inside of it.  So if I put on collate, they are printed in order, but then I have to seperate each set of copies.  That process actually takes longer than printing them not collated. 
    The only way I can think of it would be somehow tagging the seperate pages automatically so the print driver knows it is a seperate document within the single file.  They all have page x of y on each page.  But open to other ideas.
    Is there some way to print this how I need it?  It isn't a simple solution but this would eliminate 2-4 hours of manual collating each day.  Any ideas?  Right now it is using adobe reader, but if they have more advanced option in the pro version I am sure the company would gladly invest in it.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    Open the document in Acrobat Reader and use the menu Window > New Window.

  • Why do I need local copies of all my iOS Apps?

    Now that my iPad and iPhone back up to iCloud do I need to keep local copies of all my Apps in iTunes? When I restored my iPhone 4S from iCloud it downloaded all the apps from iCloud rather then from my local copies. My Mobile Applications folder is 15GB and since I can't run iOS Apps on my computer I really don't see the point of keeping this massive archive around given my limited 256GB MacBook Air's storage.
    Any expertise is appreciated! I'll try moving the files to my external and seeing if anything goes horribly wrong.
    Best, Alex

    Update
    I tested my theory by deleting an app from iTunes. The app still showed on the Apps spring board organizer view in iTuens but not in the left hand list. After I Sync'd my iPhone it was no longer present on the iTunes spring board organizer or on my device. Looks like you still need to keep local copies of all your apps in iTunes. Unchecking "Sync Apps" presents you with a warning that app apps and their data will be removed.
    It just seems useless to have local copies of iOS apps on my computer. I'm using more drive space for iOS apps (15GB) on my computer then Mac Apps(10GB)! I thought that my mac was demoted to a device and the cloud was now the truth!
    May I suggest, the addition of a check box on the Advanced iTunes preference that says "Keep local copies of App Store purchases" so that I may uncheck it. Keeping a local xml feed of what apps I've purchased and maybe a local copy of the high res icon artwork should be sufficent to facilitate this. (Naturally there's a good amount of work to do under the hood on iTunes, the iTunes servers and in iOS as well.)

Here you have to register as a developer and then only you will receive Access Key. Now, you are a tegistered SAP BW developer for your company in the SAP OSS system. You copy the access key and paste it where ever it asking for. This is a onetime process.

  • I have 2 Macs, do I need 2 copies of Leopard?

    I recently bought a 20" Imac which includes the disk to upgrade the machine to Leopard. I also own a Macbook which is running Tiger 10.4. I notice that the Leopard disc does not have a serial # and "product activation" a la WinXP. Do I need another copy of Leopard to upgrade my Macbook to Leopard? Obviously I'm a recent PC convert, and the whole WinXP product activation thing and the "one copy for each machine" thing always irritated me. If I do need to buy one I don't mind, I don't mind paying for a quality product, unlike the cr*p that MS tries to cram down your throat. Thanks

    Hi Bob,
    Yes, legally you need a copy for every machine even though they are not serial# protected and can be installed on many machines unless the disk is computer specific.
    Many people with multiple computers buy the family pack OS which has a license for up to 5 users and is about $199 as opposed to $129 for the single user pack.

  • Need four copies of a form

    Hi,
    Please guide me about the following query:
    I have designed a form to print certain data.
    Now user wants whenever he give a print command for this form, it should always print four copies of the form with four differnt text e.g. Copy of Vendor, Copy of Deptt. etc.
    Please guide me about how to achieve this goal.
    Thanks and Regards

    It seems that you didn't search a lot before posting! So you want to know everything and you don't even have any clue to start with?
    sapscript, or smart form?
    is that a standard transaction which triggers the form, and which one?
    There are 2 points to discuss:
    1) some standard applications let the copy count be customized/entered, and is passed directly to your script. Or hardcode yourself the number of copies in your program. see [SDN wiki - Copies (duplicate, etc.)|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Copies%28duplicate%2Cetc.%29]
    2) how to make the copies vary. It's what Sarves answered.

  • On Location is not for sale, but I need more copies of it at shoots than the 2 allowed by the EULA.

      I have 3-8 cameras at my shoots.  I use On Location for capture.  After purchasing CS5, I discovered that the CS5 EULA allows '2 installations' max and there are no extended licenses available for On Location.
      Now, OnLocation is not available for purchase seperately from Master Collection CS5 or Premiere CS5, so I cannot just buy a few more copies of it.   So how the heck can I put On Location on 5-8 seperate capturing laptops, without buying CS5 4 different times?
      Installation of On Location alone on additional machines results in a 'activation limit exceeded' screen when I logon to the capture laptops (post installation).   I guess I could deactivate the Network Card to avoid the software communicating with Adobe, but I use it to transfer footage to my Network Drive at the end of each day
    Any insight?

  • Retention policy vs. Archivelog deletion policy

    Environment:
    Oracle EE 11.2.0.3 on Solaris 10.5
    Which policy takes precedence?
    My Retention Policy is set to 'Recovery window of 8 days' and my Archivelog deletion policy is set to 'backed up 2 times to disk'.
    My DAILY full backup happens at 03:00am and uses the following commands:
    backup incremental level 0 cumulative database tag 'full_daily' plus archivelog tag 'full_daily';
    DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;I also have an archivelog backup that runs every 4 hours at 02:00, 06:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00 and 22:00 and looks like this:
    backup archivelog all tag '&1';
    delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-8';With the archivelog backup running every 4 hours the logs are getting backed up to disk the required 2 times very quickly. Much sooner than 8 days! :-)
    I have a problem where the archivelog backup that runs immediately AFTER the full database backup fails due to not being able to find some older archivelog files.
    In looking at V$ARCHIVED_LOG the files were dated (COMPLETION_DATE) just outside the 8 day retention window but they had a status of 'A' (Archived) instead of the 'D' (Deleted) I was expecting. When I ran a 'Crosscheck archivelog all' it changed the statuses to 'D' and the next archivelog backup ran successfully.
    What am I missing?
    Should I change the archivelog deletion policy to something else? If so, what and why (just trying to understand!) ?
    I am not using an FRA and have controlfile autobackup turned on.
    Please let me know if you need more information. I have been scouring the docs and the 11g RMAN Oracle Press book but haven't found the trick yet!
    Thanks for any assistance!

    The ArchiveLog Deletion Policy applies to ArchiveLogs. It does not apply to Backups.
    Since you have 2 copies of ArchiveLogs in the backups and these are retained for 8 days, a "delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-8';" is overkill. Why retain 8 days of archivelogs on disk if there are 2 copies already backed up ?
    Does your full backup that begins at 3am complete before 6am ? If it goes beyond 6am, it will be deleting some files after 6am but the "backup archivelog all" at 6am will expect some archivelogs (8 days old) to be present.

  • Is there a way to purchase multiple copies of an App via one account?

    I am the IT-support for a high school in New Zealand.  They have asked to buy three copies of Final Cut Pro X for student use.  FCPX can only be purchased through the App Store.  I have created an account and purchased a copy, but it doesn't look like I can purchase additional copies without creating additional accounts.
    We are unable to purchase anything through the Business or Education stores because they are US-only.
    Is there any other way around this, or is Apple just blowing it big time in NZ?
    Thanks.

    The MAS is a complete mess for non-individual purchases. I handle most of the Apple purchase orders at my college and for digital distribution via the MAS the key is number is a quantity of 20 or more.
    First of all, you should have some kind of contact within Apple's NZ Education Sales department. If not, you should find out who that is.
    For FCPX, if you need three copies, you need to create three individual Apple IDs and make three separate purchases. This is absolutely asinine, but that's how it's setup. Even better, in America, there's no way to become tax exempt, so they charge us tax and then we have to request a refund, where they then mail us a paper check.
    If you want 20 or more copies of anything, I contact my Edu sales rep and get a quote for it, then we pay via purchase order. Then we receive an E-Mail with individual MAS redemption codes for the number of licenses we ordered. Then you just redeem one code, download the app, and deploy it out, either through ARD (Apple Remote Desktop), or however else you want to.
    So in summary, try to order 20 or more of anything. Once you hit 20 there's a price break of roughly 50% and your Apple NZ Edu sales rep should have a PDF of their Edu product matrix pricing. If you order less than 20 of a product, it's a huge pain in the ***. Establish one centralized MAS Apple ID, or at least one per dept. For example: [email protected] (music dept's redemption account). Redeem one code for whatever App you've purchased, deploy the rest out however you prefer and just keep track of the amount of licenses you've used vs. the amount you've ordered.

  • How do I manging multiple copies of movies for AppleTV and iPod in iTunes?

    I do not have an AppleTV yet, but I am considering getting one. I was wondering how those who have both an iPod and ATV manage the syncing of Movies that may have different resolutions?
    If I want to have the same movie on ATV and my iPod I would need two copies in iTunes at different resolutions, correct? At least when I look at the iTunes export in iMovie it shows I can have a higher resolution for the ATV than the iPod.
    So, how do you manage the auto syncing of these multiple copies so that they aren't all copied to both devices? iTunes doesn't have good Movie management as far as sub-folders, etc. I would like iTunes to treat these copies as one movie and only sync the appropriate resolution for the device.
    I also notice that multiple copies then show up in FrontRow as well. It would be nice if only the highest resolution would show up.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Just create 2 different playlists like
    Movie-ATV
    Movie-iPod
    Put those video files with higher resolution on playlist Movie-ATV
    Put those video files with lower resolution on playlist Movie-iPod
    in iTunes Preferences choose your ATV only to sync the 1st movie playlist - and your iPod only to sync the 2nd one.

  • Activating Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus? Volume licensing needed?

    Hello,
    I have unique scenario in my company where we need to install office 2013 pro plus on 10 hard drives. Each hard drive has its own windows 7 operating system. Due to security reasons, the setup consists of one computer tower (with no primary hard drive) that
    has a slot in tray for one hard drive. These hard drives are accessed one at a time. There are not set up on a network and do not have internet access. What would be the best method of installing office? Of course we could install 10 copies of office on the
    10 hard drives, but this would be expensive. I keep hearing about KMS (Key management service) and MAK (multiple activation key) which I believe would require volume licensing. Is this a possible cheaper alternative? Would we need to set up a server to manage
    the keys?
    Any feedback is appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    A volume licensing aggreement is the best plan for your case, I think.
    Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activation is used for one-time activation through Microsoft hosted activation services, either via the Internet or by telephone. Each MAK has a predetermined number of allowed activations, this number is based on volume licensing
    agreements.
    KMS is a client-server model in which the client requests activation from a computer serving as the KMS host. KMS activation requires TCP/IP connectivity between the clients and the KMS host. By default, KMS host uses DNS to publish the KMS service. It works
    best with more than 50 computers.
    So I think the best choice for your scenario is MAK as your setup is not on a network and only need 10 copies of Office. Also, with MAK, you don't need a server to "manage the keys" as the MAK key need to be added at installation time.

    It's recommended to download and install
