Need clarification on the concept of "reset logs"

Hi,
When the database is in Archive log mode and once crashed will be recovered using the below command :
SQL> startup nomount
SQL> Alter database recover automatic using backup controlfile until cancel;
Once the database is recovered, we give the below command:
SQL> recover cancel;
After the above steps, we have to perform below command which I am not able to understand.
SQL> alter database open reset logs;
I am not able to appreciate the purpose of resetting the logs...why not we allow the database to proceed with the log file sequence.
Any information on the "reset logs" concept would be helpful to me.
Thanks in advance
Vineela

  • Need clarification regarding the test cable-diagnostics tdr command

    Hello,
    I've read about the test cable-diagnostics tdr command but I need clarification on the examples listed below to make sure that I am providing the right answer to my co-workers.
    Example 1:
    CXXX7SW17#show cable-diagnostic tdr int g0/20
    TDR test last run on: July 16 10:23:00
    Interface Speed Local pair Pair length        Remote pair  Pair status
    Gi0/20    auto  Pair A     N/A                        N/A                Normal
                           Pair B     72   +/- 10 meters  N/A                Open
                           Pair C     75   +/- 10 meters  N/A                Short/Crosstalk 
                           Pair D     74   +/- 10 meters  N/A                Short/Crosstalk
    Does this example mean that there's a cable length issue in the line which is causing the device that it's connected to not to work properly?
    Example 2:
    CXXX2SW140#show cable-diagnostics tdr int g0/21
    TDR test last run on: July 16 09:16:22
    Interface Speed Local pair Pair length        Remote pair Pair status
    Gi0/21    100M  Pair A     N/A                      Pair A           Normal
                              Pair B     N/A                      Pair B           Normal
                              Pair C     N/A                     Pair C           Normal
                              Pair D     N/A                     Pair D           Normal
    Does this example state that the cable line is okay for use?
    Example 3:
    CXXX1SW19#show cable-diagnostics tdr int g0/22
    TDR test last run on: July 16 06:36:53
    Interface Speed Local pair Pair length            Remote pair Pair status
    Gi0/22    auto    Pair A       1    +/- 10 meters  N/A               Open
                              Pair B     39   +/- 10 meters   N/A               Open
                              Pair C     72   +/- 10 meters   N/A               Open
                              Pair D     1    +/- 10 meters    N/A               Open
    Does this example mean that there isn't a device connected on the other end? No pin-contact?
    Thank you very much for any help you could provide.

    I found this article here at supportforums that seemed like the best explanation I've read so far for TDR info.
    Hope that helps.

  • Help needed in understanding the concept of hierarchical queries

    I really need help in this matter. I have a flafile containing about 4000 rows. It is from my supplier, it's structure is as follows:
    create table Flatfile
    (Pgroup varchar2(30),
    Pclass varchar2(30),
    Manufacturer varchar2(30),
    Article varchar2(30),
    Price Number(6,2));
    Insert into Flatfile Values
    ('Application Software','Database Software','Oracle','Oracle 10G',115);
    Insert into Flatfile Values
    ('Application Software','Database Software','Microsoft','MS SQL Server 2000',200);
    Insert into Flatfile Values
    ('Application Software','Spreadsheet Software','Microsoft','Excel',100);
    Insert into Flatfile Values
    ('Monitor','15"','Acer','Acer 15"" TFT superscreen',199);
    Insert into Flatfile Values
    ('Monitor','15"','Sony','Sony R1500 flat',225);
    Insert into Flatfile Values
    ('Monitor','17"','Philips','Philips Flatscreen',250);
    Insert into Flatfile Values
    ('Monitor','19"','Viewsonic','Viewsonic PLasma Monitor',275);
    Insert into Flatfile Values
    ('Processor','AMD','AMD','FX-55',600);
    Insert into Flatfile Values
    ('Processor','Intel','Intel','P4 3 GHZ',399);
    My goal is to make a hierarchical query with the start with and connect by clauses. From what I have read is that I need to normalize the data of the flatfile.
    How do I achieve a table which I can query so that the query will represent the hierarchy that exists. Namely
    Pgroup
    ++Pclasse
    Application Software
    ++Database Software
    ++Spreadsheet Software
    So a 2-level hierarchy. I'd like to understand this simple concept first. I built on the knowledge that I gain. So the questions are:
    1.What do I need to do to make the table so that I can use a hierarchical query on it?
    2. How should the query syntax be?
    3. Is it also possible to get the data in the hierarchical query sorted asec?
    I would only like to use the simple structures of the start with and connect by clauses first. I've read there are some new additions to 10G. The problem with the examples used by the tutorials is that the tables are already made so that they are suitable for hierarchical queries. I hope to understand it by this example. And take it a step further.
    Sincerely,
    Pete

    Primarily hierarchy query serves to process tree-like structures which RDBMS simulates using through parent-child relation, often in a single table (see famoust
    EMP table where employee can have the manager who is an employee at the same time).
    In your case it could look like:
    SQL> select pgroup, pclass from flatfile;
    PGROUP                         PCLASS
    Application Software           Database Software
    Application Software           Database Software
    Application Software           Spreadsheet Software

    12 rows selected.
    SQL> select decode(level,1,pclass,'  ' || pclass), Manufacturer from flatfile
      2  start with pgroup is null
      3  connect by prior pclass = pgroup

      AMD                            AMD
      Intel                          Intel
    12 rows selected.The hierarchy syntax is described completely in the documentation including

    As for the ordering question you can use siblings ordering:

      2  start with pgroup is null
      3  connect by prior pclass = pgroup
      4  order siblings by 1 desc
      5  /
    DECODE(LEVEL,1,PCLASS,''||PCLASS MANUFACTURER

  • Need clarification on the Recycling Program

    Hi everyone, I just need some clarification on the iPod Recycling Program, as I have never done it before. I'm want to use the Recycling Program to get a discount on the iPod Touch 5g. Now my question is, and it's probably a stupid question, but if I bring in my four older iPods I have laying around does Apple give me a %10 discount on EACH of them, adding up to %40?

    The first iPod had the firewire port on the top & the scroll wheel actually moved.
    I guess my first iPod was a 3rd Generation:

  • Need Clarification for the Attribute Property (Calculated)

    hi
    I am new to Web Dynpro and i am in need of clarification regarding the Attribute
    Property - Calculated
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    S.Chandran

    Hi,
    Calculated Property in webdynpro is required when you want to handle node context attribute programmatically.
    When you say Context Attribute as True, it generates two methods, Setter and Getter Method for that attribute.
    In getter method you will be getting one ‘element’ it is the context node, where you created attribute. These methods will be called automatically.

  • Need clarification on the Hyperion stuff

    I have some clarification on the following question which i came in certification last 2 days back.
    A calcualtion is performed on a database for which create block on equation is off.The command SET CREATEBLOCKONEQ ON is issued immediately before an equation in the script.which statements accurately describe when blocks will be created?
    1) blocks will be created ONLY when the equation assigns non - constant values to members of sparse diemension.
    2)blocks will be created only when the equation assigns constant values to memebers of sparse dimension
    3)blocks will be created when the equation assignes either constant or non constant values to a members of sparse dimension
    4)No blocks will be created.
    please clarify on the above.

    Vinith,
    I suppose I could ask the obvious question: How do you happen to have a question from an Oracle certification test? I don't have access to those questions. How do you?
    In the interests of actually providing (what I at least believe) the right answer, I think this thread is confusing what the docs say with what Essbase does.
    If you use SET CREATBLOCKONEQ ON, the docs state that Essbase will create a block even with a non-constant assign. But Essbase will also create a block with a constant assignment -- it always does that. That makes the third answer correct.

  • Need clarification on the addition of device driver in Installer

    I am a newbie and am building my first application (LabView 8.5.1) and need an installer with everything in it. I am unclear about what is needed for the device drivers for the DAQ board. I am using a USB6009 OEM NI DAQ.
    Do I need to include the NI-DAQmx 8.7 that I see in the Additional Installers section of the Installer builder? Were the device drivers included in the original application build or do I also need to include the driver somewhere in the installer? I see under "Hardware Configuration" in the Installer builder that I can include a "Hardware Configuration File" but I am not clear on how to do that or if it is needed. Is that how the driver gets included? 
     Please  also explain how to ensure that the hardware is attached (via USB) at the proper time for the installation process or can that take place anytime after the installation.
    I am building the application on a system with Windows 2000 but the target machines will most likely be XP, is that an issue?
    I am a Chemist and not an Engineer so you need to use small words or define any big words that I have not used above.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Yes, you need to add DAQmx to your Installer for Supporting of your device on target PC.

  • Need clarification using the selection tool

    Hi all,
    I have some strange (to me) occurrences while using the 'selection tool'...
    Explanation:
    I'm using PSE11 on a Win 7 (64) PC.
    What I want to do is to create a new pic from an existing pic.  The existing pic's background is unsuitable for what I want.  But the FG is what I need.  I thought that selecting the FG object and placing it into a new pic would be what I needed using the <quick selection tool>.
    To do this, I am trying to use the <quick selection tool>.  I've had varying degrees of success using it.  One main thing I don't understand & pretty much renders my task useless, is the fact that whenever I use <refine edge> so that I can refine my edge selection, my pic is immediately lost or taken away.  Since I have no idea as to what's happening, I am forced to close the pic (W/O saving changes, of course) & then re-opening the pic.  All's well until I use the <refine edge> button again, then, my pic disappears AGAIN!
    There are a few more details about this <selection tool> that I'm muddy on.  Is there something where I can read more about its use?  I would love to know more, but how?  Where?
    I am not a constant user of PSE, rather,  I only use it on occasions.  Normally, I use its scanning features.  I may play around with a few other features, but I also know that PSE offers many other powerful features, I rarely, if ever, use.

    There are many selection tool and way to extract a subject.  There are more way in Photoshop then in Photoshop Elements you should ask over in the Elements forum to get answers suitable for elements users.  You may get answers here that are not possible to use in Elements. Photoshop Elements

  • I need help understanding the concept of Java...

    Hello, this is my first post. I'm new to Java as well as programming, and I;m really having problems understanding the whole concept of classes, methods, arguments, parameters, constructors and so forth....can someone please explain this in baby terms....like a class is a big box and a method is something inside the box, or out!!!
    thanks

    Hi,
    It looks you know nothing about programming. :)
    Java is a very nice and easy programming language.
    The best for you is to start programming to read a book
    "Thinking in Java", Bruce Eckel. You can find it on the internet or download it from www.BruceEckel.com, or find it on www.filesearch.ru. This book will give you everything about Java. And then take any book what you like and go ahead. Practice, Practice and Practice!
    Good luck!

  • HELP!! i need help with the security question reset

    i clicked send reset to ********@me.com but @me.com doesnt work anymore so how do i change my email for the security questions!?!?!

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • Need clarification on the authentication process in JSSE

    I would like to have an authentication process that goes something like this:
    A connects to B
    A gets a certificate from B
    A prompts its user to ask if they wish to accept it
    A forges the connection and keeps the cert in a store so it wont have to prompt the user later
    From my reading of the JSSE documentation, all the authentication steps happen in the handshake? So how do I add my own custom code to do things like prompting the user for input in the middle of the handshaking?
    or do I send the certs across a non secure connection and handle this protocol myself?
    thanks for any clarification

    Well I figured it out, so if anyone is curious, the trick is to establish a regular connection through a regular socket, do your thing there, then wrap SSLSockets around the regular socket on each side, setUseClientMode(false) on one of the SSLSockets, and yer set.

  • Need clarification on the sar -u command details

    I have few scripts scheduled to run at the same time in the cron job.
    The scripts are to basically executed to capture the following:
    1. vmstat 1 10
    2. mpstat 1 10
    3. iostat 1 10
    4. prstat 1 10
    5. sar -u 1 10
    6. sar -r 1 10
    I found that the first record captured has less %idle compared to the other 9 times as per the sample below. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or is there anything wrong? Could this be due to the fact that when we run all the above cron job together, the CPU utilization is affected for the first reading? Please help.

    Its normal. The reason being that the first output from each command will be a summary of the records from boot til the command was run. Whereas the lines that follows will show the different between the first run and the second run.
    In case that doesn't make sence:

  • Clarification on the enhancement HRPBAS01, in that INCLUDE ZXP02U01 .

    Hi SAP Community,
    I need clarification on the USEREXIT.
    i think u people may know this.
    In SMOD i have given one enhancement which is HRPBAS01 and the check on the component and display. We will find one exit as EXIT_SAPLRPIN_001, then double click on exit where we can see the  INCLUDE ZXP02U01. Now here i have one doubt.
    when iam double click on this include it is saying "Program names ZX... are reserved for includes of exit function groups"
    how can i maintain this bcoz i want to write some code into this include.
    I appricaite if any one can help me to overcome this issue bcoz this is urgent and offcourse Reward Points as well.

    when you dbl-click, it will ask you to create this include and will also warn you, once it warns, you go ahead by pressing enter key.
    and you end up within this include where you can write your own code.
    Regards.
