Need help! Issue getting TempDB files removed

I'm currently running SQL 2012 and having some issues altering the TempDB to remove two additional mdf data files from the filegroup.
The tempdb currently has two additional mdf data files, tempdev1, tempdev2
I'm running the following command
ALTER DATABASE tempdb
REMOVE FILE tempdev2
And while I expect to see the message
Msg 5042, Level 16, State 1, Line
1
The file ‘tempdev2′ cannot
be removed because it is not empty.
I am NOT seeing anything to the likes
below...which concerns me as I don't think i'm ready to restart my instance and have the desired changes in play
The file “D:\tempdb\tempdev2.mdf”
has been modified in the systemcatalog. The
new path will
be used the next time the database isstarted.

It seems some activities are going on that is using your TempDB.
Restart the SQL services this will create your new Tempdb & all files become clear. After that run your both commands, It should work.
USE tempdb;
GO
DBCC SHRINKFILE('tempdev1', EMPTYFILE)
GO
USE master;
GO
ALTER DATABASE tempdb
REMOVE FILE tempdev1;
Just to add, only 1 mdf can have per database, rest of this all other data files will be ndf.

I need help with a backup file that was deleted and now undeleted from my hard drive

Last month (May 6, 2011), I was updating my iPod Touch 4G with the new software that came out. I always make a backup of my iPod's data before I update it. While my iPod was updating I left my iPod and computer alone and was doing things around the house with my mom. And when I was done I went in my room to see if it was done and my computer decides that it was going to freeze and crash on me (with my iPod plugged in and stuck on the updating or verifying software mode.) I managed to get my iPod back to working condition again but losing everything on my iPod. I formatted my computer hard drive but I managed to get back the backup I lost. I need help on getting the backup into iTunes so I can get my data back. I am not Jailbroken and I plan not to Jailbreak. I however saved the backup file in a folder other than the Mobilesync folder. I am also running on Windows XP. Someone please help me and thank you in advance!

I was able to backup my iPod and I tried to restore my iPod again and it goes through the process and everything but it restores the temporary data that I had on there. It didn't restore application data or the current photos and videos that I had saved in Camera Roll before this all had happened. It is almost like it goes back to factory settings but I have some photos that were saved on the other backup that I was temporarily running on. The backup that I am looking to restore is the only backup file in the Mobilesync folder as of right now the others are saved somewhere safe for right now. Why doesn't it restore my application data or my Camera Roll pictures and videos that I saved before my computer crashed last month? Can this problem be fixed?

Need help in laoding flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string

Hi There,

I have a flat file with three columns. In the data, at the end of second column it has \r. So because of this the control is going to the beginning of next line. And the rest of the line is loading into the next line.
Can someone pls help me to remove escape character \r from the data?

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.

Need help in getting 'RoleApprover' and 'Manager of RoleApprover'

We are developing a Custom Role Approval Process using SOA composite.
A manager or a delegated admin will be raising a Role Approval request for a beneficiary. We need to assign the Approval task to beneficiaries' manager or Role Approver.
If the RoleApprover does not Approve the task in stipulated time, the task needs to get escalated to RoleApprover's manager.
I'm new to OIM APIs, i was folllowing the tutorial "developing_oim_custom_approval_process_for_role_request.pdf". This needs an user defined field 'RoleApprover' created in the Role request form. We cannot create user defined field in the role request form.
I need help in getting the 'RoleApprover' and the 'Manager of RoleApprover' programmatically.

Choose Xerces2.4 to serialize the DOM object is an option.
javac XercesTest.java -classpath xmlParserAPIs.jar;xercesImpl.jar;.
java -classpath xmlParserAPIs.jar;xercesImpl.jar;. XercesTest test.xml
below is the source file: XercesTest.java
//JAXP
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
//APACHE SERIALIZE FUNCTION
import org.apache.xml.serialize.*;
class XercesTest
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse( new File( args[0] ) );
File f = new File( "copy_of_"+ args[0] );
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat("xml","UTF-8",true ) ;
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream( f );
XMLSerializer ser = new XMLSerializer(fout, format );
ser.serialize( doc );
maybe it's helpful

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
