Maybe it is about time you leave your ideal world, and take a reality check.
You don't take into account, I would say all over the globe, with the likely exception of the University of Washington, companies unwilling to upgrade to a supported version of Oracle. Then there are companies who can't upgrade to a supported version of Oracle, as the third party sw doesn't support a supported version of Oracle.
Then there are companies who are unwilling to pay for OEM and/or database control.
My company can't afford to use OEM to manage all our customers.
Daniel, I think I know your answers. They are, and always have been highly unrealistic. You need to leave your paradise, and stop making people frustrated, because they have to stick with the (you so often use that word) paleolithic version of Oracle that has been presented to them.
They simply have no choice.
In the Netherlands 50 percent of the customers use 10g, 25 percent 8i and 25 percent 9i. You can climb your hobbyhorse every day, many of them won't upgrade, simply because management doesn't want to upgrade, as it doesn't buy them anything, apart from support, which is considered unimportant, as the application 'works'.
Apart from that, your assertion scripts aren't portable across platform is not necessarily true when you start using Perl (comes with Oracle).
There are many tasks for which shell scripts are still mandatory.
In fact Rman is one of them. As Rman doesn't support variables, you can't use OEM to set up a script which uses a proper tag in the backup command.
You need scripting to reset an alert.
You need scripting to rotate the log file of a listener.
Etc, etc, etc.

Need info regarding planning adapter for HAL

Hi all
We are using 9.3.1 on windows machine, I am wondering for HspJsHome.properties file where I can check the port number for RMI .
i just want to double check the port no for RMI is registered in planning or not.
I am unable to connect planning adapter with planning server, to my surprise i am unable to see HspJSHome.prper file in
Hyperion\HyperionPlanning\AppServer\InstalledApps\Tomcat\5.0.28\ HyperionPlanning\webapps\HyperionPlanning\WEB-INF\classes
we are using tomcat I am unable to see the folders from Hyperionplanning\webapps I didn't find them , after 5.0.28 i have only two bat files of start and stop planning bat files, and also I do have only one folder with name InstallableApps not InstalledApps ...in the above given path.
Did I make any mistake in installation.
I already created the planning applicattion and initialized the wrkforce and capex too...
regards

Hi,
Version 9.3.x does not use the HspJSHome.properties file, all this information is now stored in the relational database for the planning system.

Need help in creating script for "Task Schedule" in Oracle E-Bussiness Suit

Hi,
I need some urgent help regarding the scripting of Oracle E-Business Suite application. I am new towards working on Oracle Applications. I have been using LoadRunner 11.0 and protocol oracle applications 11i for the scripting of the application. The problem is as follows:
Scenario- Schedule an incident to a resource.
1) Log in to the application.
2) Open Oracle Forms Page.
3) Enter the details of the incident number.
4) Right click on the incident number and then select “schedule” option.
5) Check / Select the resource listed in the new form.
6) Click on “schedule” Button.
7) Exit the oracle forms.
8) Logout from the application.
I have recorded the scenario but when I try to run the script, it fails after completing the 4th step from the scenario mentioned above. I have done all the required co-relations..
Another issue that I have noticed in the scipt is that it records a lot of requests to the AppsTCFServer.
When I check the Tree View of the script, I have found that there are around 25 requests to the AppsTCFServer recorded in the script. In the header of these requests a TCF Start/Session number gets generated randomly. This number stays the same in few AppsTCFServer request headers and then a new number gets generated and the cycle continues.
However LoadRunner does not generate this number by itself during replay. I cannot find this number in any previous responses.
In the last few days, I have tried my hands on Oracle Openscript tool to record the above scenario, but still I am getting the same problem, i.e instead of getting the correct response from the server for the AppsTCFServer requests, I am getting the message "X-session 7098.... not found - aborting ".
I get this message whether I use LoadRunner tool or the OpenScript tool.
Please help me solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Soumya Mukherjee

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Automated Unix Script For Registering Artifacts In OER

Hi,
i want to create automated unix script which will register the artifacts automatically in Oracle Enterprise Repository (OER)
is it possible to automatically harvest the artifacts in OER.
please help
regards,
yshintre

Some of what you want is possible. Take a look at the Count Tool in CS3/4. It may only be available in the Extended versions. That provides a
reasonable interface for marking items in a image like you are wanting to do with cells. Take a look at that and see what kind of manual process
you can get worked out.
However, to get the workflow you want (or anything close to it) would require more than a little code.

Need info regarding infotype 0017.

Dear Experts,
I am new to Travel Management.
In infotype 0017, I need information regarding RGrp M/A Statutory, RGrp M/A Enterprise,EE Grp Expense Type and EE Group Travel Mgt fields.
I verified few config documents of Travel Management but could not understood the applicability of the above fields. Please help me in this regard.
Points could be awarded accordingly.

Hi,
RGrp M/A Statutory-> Identifies a reimbursement group for meals/accommodations for which the same statutory or pay scale trip provisions for meals and accommodations are valid
A reimbursement group is a grouping of employees for whom the same trip provisions are valid. The reimbursement group is specialized by the trip expense category.
A reimbursement group for meals/accommodations is a reimbursement group for which the same trip provisions for meals/accommodations are valid.
The reimbursement group for meals/accommodations is specialized as to whether it is needed to represent statutory/pay scale or enterprise- specific trip provisions.
Example
Trip costs levels A, B, C according to German Travel Expense Statutes
Grouping of employees according to pay scale groups
RGrp M/A Enterprise-> Identifies a reimbursement group for meals/accommodations for which the same enterprise-specific trip provisions for meals and accommodations are valid
A reimbursement group is a grouping of employees for whom the same trip provisions are valid. The reimbursement group is specialized by the trip expense category.
A reimbursement group for meals/accommodations is a reimbursement group for which the same trip provisions for meals/accommodations are valid.
The reimbursement group for meals/accommodations is specialized as to whether it is needed to represent statutory/pay scale or enterprise- specific trip provisions.
Example
Members of the Executive Board
Managers
Salaried employees
Industrial workers
EE Grp Expense Type -> An employee grouping for trip expense type is a classification of employees for whom these trip expense types are permissible.
Example
- Executive Board
- executive employee
EE Group Travel Mgt fields-> An employee grouping for Business Trip Management is a classification of employees designed to fulfill the purposes of Business Trip Management.

Need info on New Gl for a fresh implememtation

Hello,
Kindly give your inputs on the new gl functionality for a fresh implementation. Please provide some documentation or pros and cons of it.
This is the senario, only one plant is being implemented for the time being, what is the possiblity of implementing the new gl at a later stage . If we activate the new gl can it be deactivated or if we activate can and not decide to use it and only uuse the regulat GL is that ok.
kindly provide your inputs as it is urgent and have to give my suggestions soon to the client.
points will be awarder generously.
thanks.

Ashwin,
Here are my thoughts on the new GL.
1) Parallel Accounting - This feature allows for much more seemless implementation of multiple GAAP accounting. Previously you'd have to mess around with having accounts that are specific to different GAAPs, creating FI validations to ensure the entries balanced, and complicated reporting structures to make sure you had the proper reporting. The only other solutions were special purpose ledgers which may have helped to separate transactions for reporting, but did nothing to simplify the chart of accounts issues. If you are a multinational company, and will have different GAAPs, it is essential.
2) Profit Center Integration - With the new GL, Profit Center Accounting is an integrated element of the reporting ledgers. No need for a fully independent PCA implementation.
3) Extended Coding Block - Better support for adding customer defined fields to the coding block and having full transaction processing and reporting support. No need to implement the SPL unless you are doing some truly complicated manipulations to posted data such that you need user exits on flexible field movements.
4) SAP Stated Direction - This is where SAP is going and they aren't looking back. If this is a fresh implementation you should consider starting out in this manner instead of performing the transition at a later date. There are different transaction codes for the New GL than from the old GL, different reporting tables for the RW/RP, etc.
5) Document Splitting - If you need documents to split automatically for various attributes, e.g. profit centers, business areas, other custom defined fields, this is the only effective way to perform this.
I can't answer to the going back/forth between the two, e.g. classic versus new GL, but don't see why you would be absolutely in error with going new GL. I'd have a different opinion, but unlikely, if you were already live on the classic GL and you were contemplating going through the conversion.
I hope this was what you were looking for. Some points would be nice if so, please.

Kyle

Need Help regarding initial configuration for distributed cache

Hi ,
I am new to tangosol and trying to setup a basic partitioned distributed cache ,But I am not being able to do so
Here is my Scenario,
My Application DataServer create the instance of Tangosolcache .
I have this config.xml set in my machine where my application start.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cache-config SYSTEM "cache-config.dtd">
<cache-config>
<caching-scheme-mapping>

<cache-mapping>
<cache-name>*</cache-name>
<scheme-name>default-distributed</scheme-name>
</cache-mapping>
</caching-scheme-mapping>
<caching-schemes>

<distributed-scheme>
<scheme-name>default-distributed</scheme-name>

<class-name>com.tangosol.util.SafeHashMap</class-name>
<init-params></init-params>
</class-scheme>
</caching-schemes>
</cache-config>
Now on the same machine I start a different client using the command
java -Dtangosol.coherence.distributed.localstorage=false -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=near-cache-config.xml -classpath
"C:/calypso/software/release/build" -jar ../lib/coherence.jar
The problem I am facing is
1)If I do not start the client even then my application server cache the data .Ideally my config.xml setting is set to
distributed so under no case it should cache the data in its local ...
2)I want to bind my differet cache on different process on different machine .
say
for e.g
machine1 should cache cache1 object
machine2 should cache cache2 object
and so on .......but i could not find any documentation which explain how to do this setting .Can some one give me example of
how to do it ....
3)I want to know the details of cache stored in any particular node how do I know say for e.g machine1 contains so and so
cache and it corresponding object values ... etc .....
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Thanks for answer.
After digging into the wiki lot i found out something related to KeyAssociation I think what I need is something like implementation of KeyAssociation and that
store the particular cache type object on particular node or group of node
Say for e,g I want to have this kind of setup
Cache1-->node1,node2 as I forecast this would take lot of memory (So i assign this jvms like 10 G)
Cache2-->node3 to assign small memory (like 2G)
and so on ...
From the wiki documentation i see
Key Association
By default the specific set of entries assigned to each partition is transparent to the application. In some cases it may be advantageous to keep certain related entries within the same cluster node. A key-associator may be used to indicate related entries, the partitioned cache service will ensure that associated entries reside on the same partition, and thus on the same cluster node. Alternatively, key association may be specified from within the application code by using keys which implement the com.tangosol.net.cache.KeyAssociation interface.
Do someone have any example of explaining how this is done in the simplest way ..

fi
echo "Enter Username"
read USER

sqlplus -s $USER/$PASS\@$i <<EOF >> useracctreport.txt
column USERNAME format a8
column ACCOUNT_STATUS format a5
!echo "*****User $j Status in $i DB*****"
select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS from dba_users where username=('$j');
select OBJECT_TYPE,count(*) from dba_objects where owner='$j' group by object_type;
EOF
done
done
In log file ,i get the below error when its unable to connect to the DB.

ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Is there any way i can supress this error?
and is there any other way i can make this script faster.Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,
The failing line is
sqlplus -s $USER/$PASS\@$i <<EOF >> useracctreport.txtYou should test the connect statement you provide to sqlplus. For example:
CONSTRING=$USER/$PASS\@$i
echo Connect string used: $CONSTRING
sqlplus -s $CONSTRING <<EOF >> useracctreport.txtCheck the echoed value. It's malformed. Correct it appropriately.

Need info regarding 11g OCA.

How can I upgrade to 11g OCA ?

Please guide in this regard.There is no 'upgrade' for DBA OCA.
Simply take the 1z0-052 exam (your existing SQL exam pass should be the other pre-requisite).
However ..... if you ultimate goal is 11g DBA OCP but may have already untaken the required authorised training for 9i DBA OCP ... and i the can 1z0-032+1z0-033+1z055 would be a route to 11g DBA OCP without further training. If you have not already received an authorized traning course this is less important.
See http://certification.oracle.com and review the getting 'started pages' carefully.

Need info regarding Oracle UCM Accounts and Security Groups behaviour

Need information regarding Oracle UCM Accounts and Security Groups behaviour.
Oracle UCM version: 11.1.1.5.0
Steps:
1. Log in with "weblogic" user and created a content with id "content1"
2. Applied "@acc1(R)" and "TestGroup1" to the cotent created in step 1
3. Log out
4. Log in as "acc1user1", the user is not able to see the "content1"
5. Log out
6. Log in as "role1user1", the user is not able to see the "content1"
Account and Group information:
1. User "acc1user1" is part of "@acc1(R)"
2. User "role1user1" is part of "role1(R)" and is mapped to "TestGroup1" in UCM
Expected:
Both "acc1user1" and "role1user1" should be able to see "content1" as they have at least Read permission.
Please help me understand why the users are not able to see the content.

ACLs, like Accounts, are optional security setting which may add on some extra functionality to mandatory security groups. Likewise, the resulting permission is taken as an intersection of SG and ACLs.
But in the second part the number of set of users is huge (approx say 600)I don't get this completely. Does this mean that those "sets of users" (users who see the same data) are distinct and that there is 600 of such groups?
If you read thoroughly the manual I sent earlier, there is a recommendation that there should be maximum 50 security groups, and you should use accounts, should this number be exceeded. This means you could have all the documents in one security group (and have one common role with Read permission), but combine it with accounts. ACLs are not a good choice here - their performance and manageability is much worse than of accounts. ACLs are primarily used if you expect security settings to change during the lifetime (e.g. a project manager adds temporarily rights to access an item to another user, and revokes it when the user finishes his or her work).
Note that accounts as well as permissions of users within accounts can also be mapped externally (from LDAP/AD) and it usually follows some kind of org chart.
I'd feel more comfortable not to speak about users, security groups, roles, etc., but about some real-life objects and scenarios.

Help needed in Unix script for oracle 9i

Hi gurus,
I'm working on oracle 9i in solaris, i would like to calculate the amount of archived logs generate per day. Can anyone please help me to find that.
Thanks

Put the following lines in a script and it should work for you.
SET feedback off
SET line 200
COL NAME FOR a100
-- counts the no of archives generated today
select count(*) "No. of Logs for today" from v$archived_log where to_char(completion_time,'DD-MON-YY')=to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON-YY');
-- lists all archive generated for the day
select name,blocks*block_size as "Size in KB" from v$archived_log
where to_char(completion_time,'DD-MON-YY')=to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON-YY');
-- shows total size in KB
select sum(blocks*block_size) "Total Log Size for day in KB" from v$archived_log
where to_char(completion_time,'DD-MON-YY')=to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON-YY');
Hope this helps.
Thanks
