Need Help with Oracle Designer Install!

When I attempt to install Oracle designer, it asks me to choose an Oracle Home. I choose "OraHome81" from the drop down menu, but it gives me the following error:
"The location specified: C:\Oracle\Ora81 is already used as an Oracle Home for 'Oracle 815 Production'
It can not be used as an Oracle Home for 'nt' "
PLEASE HELP!!!
my email address is [email protected]

As you would have seen if reading the documentation, this is probably a DB home, in which you cannot/should not install Designer. Type another name in there....
....when you are done reading your install guide.

I need help with oracle

Hi,
I need some help... if someone can help its great.
I need to make a statement in Oracle SQL that read data from a file and insert in a Oracle Database ... if someone can show me the syntax of it i appreciate..
Thanks

Okay, I see you followed the advice in that other thread and started a new post for you question. Congratulations. Your next lesson in forum etiquette is to give your posts a more relevant subject. Pretty much everybody who posts here needs help with oracle; if they need help with cooking catfish they've come to the wrong place.
It that other thread I suggested using SQL*Loader or External Tables might be a more suitable solution. Find out more.

Need help with class design

I want to design and use one or more classes for a particular project I am working on.
I need some advice hopefully from someone who has experience in this area. Basically,
for this particular problem I have two database tables. I want the first class to
represent the first database table and the second class to represent the second
database table. An object of the first class will be created first, and then if certain
criteria are met then an object of the second class will be created.
Question:
Should I use classical inheritance and let the first class inherit from the second class?
Or should I use the containment delegation model and embed an object of the second
class in the first class?
----Tables------
For example, my first table ET_UserData looks something like this:
ET_UserData
(PK)UserName
Password
FirstName
LastName
My second table ET_DetailedUserData looks like this
ET_DetailedUserData
(FK)UserName
WorkAddress
WorkPhoneNumber
CityWhereEmployed
SocialSecurityNumber
City
State
StreetAdress
PrimaryTelephoneNumber
AlternatePhoneNumber
HasRegistered
RegistrationDate
RegistrationTime
CreditCardNumber
NameOfPrimaryContact
DateOfBirth
Weight
EyeColor
Height
Member
Here is are some pseudo classes for the two classes.
Class UserData
string UserName
string FirstName
string LastName
Class DetailedUserData /* For a classical approach, sub class off of class UserData */
/* UserData ThisUser --> Containment delegation model */
string (FK)UserName
string WorkAddress
string WorkPhoneNumber
string CityWhereEmployed
string SocialSecurityNumber
string City
string State
string StreetAdress
Int PrimaryTelephoneNumber
Int AlternatePhoneNumber
Bool HasRegistered
Int RegistrationDate
Int RegistrationTime
Int CreditCardNumber
String NameOfPrimaryContact
Int DateOfBirth
Int Weight
Int EyeColor
Int Height
bool Member
}

Thank you for your help. If you can continue to help me I would appreciate it.
I and another developer did the database design. Pretty solid design. Plus we have all of the requirements
which are very good too.
Originally I wanted just one table to contain all of the data associated with a user. Instead of ET_UserData and ET_Detailed user data I wanted just one table. But I decided to break this table up into the two tables for the following reason.
1.) This is a web application where each user logs into a web form. At a minimum, in order to use the website the session associated with each user needs the UserName, Password, First and last name.
This is the data in the first table.
If they choose to do more specialized functions on this website, then they will need all of the information (Attributes) that are located in the second table. In general 40% of the time all users will need information located in the second table.
My reasoning for breaking the table into two seperate tables is that I wanted to minimize the amount of data involved in a result set, created from the sql query. The math tells me that 60% of the time most of the data in the result set will not be used.
2.) If I create one class to represent all of the data/attributes in both tables, then my reasoning is that their will be alot of overhead in the single class because 60% of the time, a majority of the attributes are not needed and used.
I would deeply appreciate your help with this. You seem to have great insight and advice. Please help me as I increase the duke dollars Sir.

Need help with security design!

Hi,
I haven't worked with security design very much. Currently I'm about to develop an application to my father which should implement some sort of security.
One of the reasons for this application besides making my father happy is educating myself.
The application is an online image album.
The security could be divided in role-based security and instance level security.
Role-based (NO PROBLEM):
A user cannot delete another user, an administrator can delete users.
Instance-level (DON'T KNOW HOW):
A user can load other users image albums if he/her is allowed/granted to view the album and its images. Note that the user could be granted to view the album, but not all of its images.
My problem is how I should design the "instance-level" security? Should I keep a ACL (Access Control List) with each instance of album and image?
This seems to be a common functionality to add view/load/read/write permissions to an instance in runtime to let a certain user to operate on an asset?
Have searched the Internet but haven't found any nice framework to help me.
Could anyone with some experience please help me out?!
Kind regards, Andreas

Need help with some JS installing Bumpbox 2.0

I am trying to add a lightbox effect to a pdf on my website, I found a Javascript plugin at http://www.artviper.net/bumpbox-demo/index.html that looks like it should do the trick, but I am having trouble getting it to work.
To narrow down the problem I created a test.html file that I stuck in the root directory of the folder I downloaded from their site (so I am working locally off my desktop at this point)
My code is as follows... I feel like I am missing something super obvious, does anyone see it? (do I need to define the .bump class in the css file?)
Thank you in advance for the much needed help!

SCCM Driver Injection : What am I missing? Need help with getting drivers installing correctly in my environment.

Everyone,
I'm not new to using SCCM, but i'm VERY new to setting up and managing it. I have just laid it down for the school district that I manage, and i'm loving it. Imaging is going great, all but one thing now...drivers installing.
Let me tell you what I've been doing, so hopefully a kind soul out there can tell me where my logic of the driver "injection" process is lacking and might can fill in some gaps.
I downloaded all drivers pertaining to the 7-8 series of computers we have in our environment currently, and imported them based on a criteria such as this:
x86.LenovoEdge71.Desktop
x86.DellOpti755.Desktop
so forth and so on
I created packages based on the same exact naming scheme. I update my distribution point at the end of the import, and all the drivers/packages/categories are in place. When I go to Monitoring/Distribution Status/Content Status, all of my packages
show up , but under targeted it says 0.
My thoughts from reading online, is I upload all these drivers and during my task sequence where it says it's "applying device drivers" it's set to "install only the best matched compatible drivers" and "consider drivers from all
categories". I also checked "do unattended installation of unsigned drivers no versions of Windows where this is allowed".
so correct me if my thinking is incorrect, it should search through all series of the computers we have in our environment and grab the best drivers from the overall database. Is this not right?
The reason I ask this, is we have a few hundred HP 6000 Pro desktops. WHen I image them, it comes up with 2 unknown devices. OF these, I can manually point them at the folder from which I uploaded the drivers for this series/category and it installs
100% successfully...MANUALLY. What's the reasoning behind this?
I can't help but think there's something missing in my process / logic and I need to be set straight.
Can someone out there tell me what i'm doing wrong? We're planning a district-wide re-imaging before summer's over, and the clock's ticking...but the drivers being installed are all that's keeping us from starting our migrations.
Any help on this is GREATLY appreciated, thank you very much!

You have setup everything correct, but for your desired result you need to use "Apply Driver Package" Task rather than "Auto Apply Drivers".
Auto Apply drivers will install the best matched/compatible drivers for only the PNP devices.For more info on this:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680990.aspx
Whereas "Apply Driver Package" would install all drivers you have in the package and hence you don't see the unknown drivers in device manager. For more info on this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680403.aspx
If you have multiple models, create this task for each model individually and then associate with a WMI query condition under Options tab to check the manufacturer/model
Example: Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Manufacturer = "HP" and Model Like "6000%"

Need help with 10gAS infrastructure install on RH linux

Attempting to install a 10g Infrastructure (10.1.2.0.4) on an RedHat ES 4.0, update 2 Server (Brand new clean install of OS followed by install of Infrastructure.) System is a AMD64 3000+ with 2GB memory (we will be loading the AS on this same server, so we went with extra memory.)
Following the Installation guide to the letter (even caught and corrected the incorrect SHMMAX parameter value in the QIG) All of the pre install steps completed. During the actual install accepting mostly defaults (changing group to oinstall vice oracle and putting in the system name where required are the only 2 changes I can think of)

I would swear that this worked once before when I have the server at home (and not attached to the network) but we have tried to re-install (both OS and Oracle from the ground up) while not connected to the network and still get this error (we have another LDAP on the network that we thought was conflicting, but have eliminated that as a prossiblity.)
This is the production version of the Oracle applications server, so I would assume that if a number of people were having a problem, I would see something in either OTN or Metalink and I dont see it in either
The only difference I can see is that I am using Update 2 vice Update 1 (the certified version) I can try going back but V1 but would that make that much difference?
I see several others have done this without a problem so I home they can help Ideas from anyone?
Thanks.
Michael
<Note: Cross posted on Identity Management forum (as it's an SSO error)>

Hi Michael!
The problems I had with SSO were way different than your problems. What came to my mind is to check the network settings of the machine. What I usually do is to set the hostname and the domain in the /etc/sysctl.conf .I have a ES40u2 were I had no problems whatsoever.

Need help with arch linux install!

Hello, let me start off by telling you about the predicament I'm in at the moment. I've been trying to install arch linux on with a cd-drive that has been failing for a little over a year now, so you can already see where my problem starts! The cd-drive, however will work with such cd's as Windows, Ubuntu, and Slackware, which I'm happy with. Yet, archlinux doesn't work so much.
And now maybe my solution. I've got a usb cd drive, that I've had laying around that works well, just not well enough for my bios to be able to boot from; which is horrible I know. I've searched the bios for loading a usb cd drive and everything else, including google so I don't think I'm going to get anywhere with that one. Anyways what I'm thinking of doing is that when archlinux is in the terminal right before you type the "/arch/setup" command, I would like to know if there is any command that allows you to change the cd it boots the cd from to go right into the installation. I'm still working on easying my out of the newbie stage of linux at the moment, but I've never run into a command like that, that would help me out. Hopefully there is one though, because I would very much like to archlinux to work, so please respond! Right now I'm running elinks through the terminal right before you type "/arch/setup". Thanks!

loosec wrote:
So you get through the boot process just fine then on your old CD drive. The only thing you should have to do after that is to throw your CD into the USB CD drive and proceed with the installation. The installer should then ask you what CD drive you would like to use when you choose install from CD.
Another way to do it would be to switch cd like above and then manually mount your /dev/[your_usb_cd_here] on /src. The installer then has to be pointed to this place as the source of your installation. To find out what your usb cd drive is called you should unplug it, then replug it and run: dmesg
The mount command might also need to be shown that this is a cd so:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/[usb_cd_device_name] /src
should do the trick.
If you really want to learn more of what the installer does (and fail installing a few times) you should also check out the command
/arch/quickinstall
If your Internet connection is up for it, it seems like you could just choose an FTP install instead.
Goodluck!
Once the CD is removed from the drive that it was booted from. the installation will not continue, as the arch install always goes back to the boot drive to continue read the neccessary information for the install. I do not think there is a way to fool the computer into booting from one cd drive and then continueing on with another. To do this you would have to tell the computer that you are switching drives.
If you can boot up the CD kernel and get to where you type in /arch/setup then the next thing I would od is FTP install. That would limit your CD rom drie usage.
There is also a way to install arch from within another distro, EVEN ANOTHER LIVECD! <-- this may be your best bet. Check the wiki, there is tons of information there.

Need Help With Spreadsheet Design

Hi,
I write about diabetes on various Internet Forums and am currently involved in testing various blood glucose meters to determine the accuracy of the different makes/models. I am trying to design a spreadsheet in Appleworks to help me evaluate the meters but have very little experience with spreadsheets so am finding it tough going.
In comparing the various blood glucose values delivered by the meters I am trying to come up with a way to automatically compare 2 readings and then display how much a particular reading is above or below another percentage wise. The difficulty is that a particular meter might sometimes display a value higher than another one time, and lower than another the next time so I'm not sure how to design the speadsheet to automatically calculate the percentages.
For instance in sample one Meter A reads 115mg/dl and Meter B reads 87 mg/dl so by dividing the 115 into 87 I can determine that Meter A is reading 24% higher than Meter B. But then in sample two Meter A reads 89 mg/dl while Meter B reads 121 mg/dl so in this case Meter B is reading 26% higher than Meter A.
Is there a way to structure the spreadsheet so that it can compare the two readings and then based upon which one is higher divide the result into the lower one can come up with a percentage?
Thanks!
Winston

Hi Winston,
Leaving aside any discussion of the actual test design, here's a rundown of how to make the spreadsheet do (most of) what you want it to do.
What I want the spreadsheet to do is to accept the data from meter 1 and meter 2 in side by side columns of cells. I next want the spreadsheet to compare the 2 bG values obtained from the same blood sample with these meters to one another and then divide the smaller value by the larger value to determine the amount in percent that one meter is higher or lower than the other.
This division (r/R) compares the smaller value (r) to the larger (R) and reports the result as a fraction.
eg. 75/100 = 0.75 The smaller reading is 75% of the larger reading, or the smaller reading is 25% lower than the higher reading.
But that does not mean the higher reading is 25% higher than the lower. That percentage is given by comparing the larger reading to the smaller (R/r). For the same pair of readings:
100/75 = 1.33.. The larger reading is 33% higher than the smaller.
As the percentages will be listed in columns labeled "Meter x higher", the R/r division is the appropriate one.
This is comparison is complicated by the fact that meter 1 will sometimes return the higher of the two readings, and at other times meter 2 will be higher. Thus it's not a simple matter of asking the spreadsheet to divide the result of meter 1 by the result of meter 2 each and every time or vice versa.
Next on the agenda I want the spreadsheet to put the result obtained by the above calculation in one or the other of two additional columns of cells. In other words the spreadsheet will compare the value of meter 1 to meter 2, divide the smaller value by the larger value to determine percentage, and finally place the result obtained in one of two additional columns of cells. One of these additional columns of cells would be labeled Meter 1 Higher and the other would be labeled Meter 2 higher.
All of the formulas given previously will make a comparison.
Niel's and Barry's report the percentage by which the higher reading is higher than the lower.
Brie's and Terry's report the percentage by which the lower reading is lower than the higher.
All put the results into the same cell (column) without regard to which reading is highest. (Barry's set includes labels to identify the higher meter.)
Here's mine again, with revisions to place the results into separate columns:
Labels in Row 2: C2: Meter A, D2: Meter B, E2: A Higher, F2: B Higher
Tests results in Row 3, Meter A in C3, Meter B in D3
Comparison results in E3 and F3
E3: =IF(C3<D3,"",C3/D3-1) Set the Number Format of this cell to percent.
F3: =IF(D3<C3,"",D3/C3-1) "
Note: the IF() statement suppresses the result in the column reporting "is higher" results for the meter with the ;ower reading. Written as above, the formulas will report in both columns where both meters show identical readings.
Note2: As written, the formulas will return a #DIV/0! error if no results have been entered on that line. The version below suppresses any results until readings have been entered in column D.
E3: =IF(D3,IF(C3<D3,"",C3/D3-1),"") Set the Number Format of this cell to percent.
F3: =IF(D3,IF(D3<C3,"",D3/C3-1),"") "
Roughly 1,000 tests will be performed over a several month timespan and all the meter readings referred to above will each be compared by the spreadsheet.
The default size of an AppleWorks spreadsheet is 40 columns by 500 rows. Go Format > Document... to increase the number of rows to 1050 to allow room for 'roughly 1000 tests.'
For 1000 tests, fill the formulas above down through rows 3..1002 (aasumed in examples below).
Next I want the spreadsheet to examine all the cells in which meter 1 returned the higher result and perform the following calculations:
lowest percentage over meter 2 obtained
highest percentage " "
The second is easy: =MAX(E3..E1002)
Place the formula where you want this result reported.
The first runs into a problem: empty cells, or those with non numeric data are evaluated numerically as "0" by the MIN() function. There is a workaround.
Use an empty column to the right of the active part of the spreadsheet. (I've arbitrarily chosen column M)
M3: =IF(E3>0,E3,1000)
Fill down M3..M1002
This copies all greater than zero values into column M, and inserts a value of 1000 wherever the value in column E is 0.
The minimum value in this column (which is also the non-zero minimum of column E) is given by:
=MIN(M3..M1002)
Place the formula where you want this result reported.
number of identical readings obtained
I'm assuming you mean 'identical differences' in terms of percent higher.
There are a couple of difficulties here:
1. AppleWorks does not include a MODE() function which would extract the number appearing with the greatest frequency.
2. What constitutes "identical" depends on the (mathematical) precision of the results. AppleWorks can display results to 11 significant places (eg. 12.345678901), and actually does the calculations to a few more places than that. Given that precision, many results that are not significantly different willl not be identified as "identical."
Probably doable, but more detail needed before jumping in.
average percentage " "
average deviation
Not sure what you're asking with these. Can you elaborate?

Might Be OT - Need Help With DW Design

I am in the midst of transferring Access reports to Oracle. A lot of these reports display percentage data. What is a best practice for storing percentage data in a data warehouse? Should I add on the percentage calculations at the fact table level? I am trying to make the data warehouse design as simple as possible for the report writers.

Hi Adrienne,
IMHO, warehouses should never store a percentage. They should store the components that make up that percentage. For example, the warehouse should not store "% of total sales" column, but should instead store sales $ amount and from there analytics can be performed to calculate a percentage. A data mart is more of a place where you would materialize calculations, like %, for easier reporting.
That being said, straight-up warehouse design questions are better suited over Warehouse Builder
Good luck and hope that helps!

Data is coming from two tables in mainframe.....that data i need to combine and process it and insert to ECC.
How to design?.
What will be the steps using BPM?.
Can u please give me broad view on designing this scenario.

Thanks Prabhu..for the input.
Thanks Bhavesh. You got the point...that is what i am going to do.
I have a select with join....then i update the records selected from database.
But now, i want to resign the scenario..
What i want to do is...write a sync send. Then use the join sql to get data, send to BPM.
Then inside BPM, use select with for update only and update sql.
For getting records on fly and send to BPM, how can i do?. Can u please elaborate this?.
What all i need to do to run the join sql against table and get data to BPM?.
(Advanced mode in JDBC Adapter setting to serializable queries is not working). So i need to do this step to overcome.

Power Query for Excel - Need Help with Oracle SQL Syntax

Hello everyone,
I am new to Power Query and am not able to figure this out. I am trying to pull in data into my Excel spreadsheet using a specific Oracle SQL query. While in query editor, how do I take the Oracle.Database function and add my SQL statement?
I already know what I want, I don't want it to download all the table names. According to the help page, I should be able to do this but it does not provide a syntax example
Also, I don't understand what "optional options as nullable record" means.
Below is what function and arguments the help page notes. How do I use this?
Oracle.Database(server as text, optional options as nullable record) as table
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jessica

When I try this, I get an error
DataSource.Error: Oracle: Sql.Database does not support the query option 'Query' with value '"Select * from Owner.View_Name"'. Details: null
I'm trying to download oracle data from a view into power query - Power Query navigator does not list th eviews from my source, it lists only the tables. When I try write sql statements, it throws me the above
error. This is what I tried
Oracle.Database("Source/Service",[Query="Select * from Owner.View_Name"])
Any ideas how to fix this?

Need help with Oracle Service Registry HTTPS configuration

I have installed the Oracle Service Registry on a separate OC4J instance called registry without errors. I have also done the following steps to configure HTTPS given in the user guide.
1. Delete the file <OC4J_HOME>/j2ee/home/keystore if it exists.
2. Generate the server identity into <OC4J_HOME>/j2ee/home/keystore using the Java keytool as follows:
keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias oracle -keystore <OC4J_HOME>/j2ee/home/keystore -storepass
<PASSWORD>
3. Enabling SSL in the Oracle Application Server Standalone
4. Copy <OC4J_HOME>/j2ee/home/config/http-web-site.xml to <OC4J_HOME>/j2ee/home/config/secure-website.
xml.
5. Edit <OC4J_HOME>/j2ee/home/config/secure-web-site.xml by changing the port and adding the parameter secure="
true" to the <web-site> element; for example:
<web-site port="4443" ... secure="true">
6. Add the following element into the into the <web-site> element, use absolute path to keystore file, for example:
<ssl-config keystore="<OC4J_HOME>/j2ee/home/keystore" keystore-password="<PASSWORD>"/>
7. Add the path reference to secure-web-site.xml into the file server.xml; for example:
<web-site path="./secure-web-site.xml" />
8. You have to change the <web-app> definition for the OracleAS Service Registry n both files, http-web-site and
secure-web-site, so the OracleAS does not create independent instances for each of the websites. Add a
shared="true" attribute to the <web-app> elements for the OracleAS Service Registry application.
After following these steps, I restarted OPMN. I am able to get the Oracle Service Registry console. When I click on the Publish link, it shows the Security Alert Window. After I click on Yes in the security alert window, it just shows "Page cannot be displayed". The same happens for all the secure links such as login. I even tried exporting the certificate through the Security Alert window, but still it does not work. All the HTTP links in the Service Registry console are working and the HTTPS links are all not working. I believe this should be an SSL configuration issue. Please let me know whether I have missed any steps in the security configuration.
Thanks,
Sathish

Any replies to this please?
Has anyone successfully installed and configured the Oracle Service Registry with all the links in the service registry console working fine? Is any one able to publish web services into the oracle service registry?
Thanks.
