Need suggestions in upgrading server and software

Hi,
We are about to upgrade our database to 10g from 8.0.6 on windows 2003 server. we have around 85GB of data in healthcare environment. I would like to know
1) If linux/windows is the best option for our server.
2) Will it be possible to directly upgrade from 8.0.6 to 10g.
3) Are there any particular versions of linux that support 10g ?
4) Will there be any problem installing database on 64 bit machine.
Best Regards,
Ateeq

1. If DBA is confident / easy in linux then OEL 5.5 is the best which can be download from edelivery.oracle.com. If he/she is confident in windows; then any server edition is good.
2.http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/preup.htm#i1007814
You can'nt directly upgrade from 8.0.6 to 10.2.0.1, you have to apply 8.1.7.4 patch then it will upgrade to 10.2.0.1. Here you have following options too :
(a) Simple export the db and import to 10g.
(b) You can have dblinks in 10g by which you can create tables/MVs etc. something like :
[In 10g version : create table emp as select * from scott.emp@olddb]
3.Please check and download respective (32 bit or 64 bit machines) zips from :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html
4.No problem, if you first read the installation manual, follow the steps as mentioned in docs; otherwise come to forum, mention what you have done, what exact error your getting; i am sure you will get answer.

Use the default parser.
By default, WebLogic Server is configured to use the default parser and transformer to parse and transform XML documents. The default parser and transformer are those included in the JDK 5.0.
The built-in WebLogic Server DOM factory implementation class is com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.
The DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance method returns the built-in parser.
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

Hi!
Do you have a time machine backup? What you can try to do is a full restore on a testmachine or a VM and export the old keychain and import it into your broken server:

Need suggestion on PLSQL Create and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

Most of you already know plsql doesn't like create table, so we have to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE for creating table. What if I want to see if the table exist, if not then create the table, later I will insert data into that table.
My problem is it returned me the error saying I am try to insert into a non existing table when trying to compile my code. I think plsql doesn't pick up the execute statement.
what I did is, both create and insert are executed by using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. Anyone have such experience before and willing to share your knowledge?
PS: I am having same problem for creating sequence as well.

I think plsql doesn't pick up the execute statement.Since it is a runtime instruction, it will pick it up at runtime. but to be able to run, it needs to compile the code and in order to compile (so it can run) the code it needs that table/sequence you are referencing to exist already. So, you need to run the code to get the table and run needs to compile the code and compile needs the table to compile. can't go from here to there when you try to mix dynamic sql with static sql on the same object within the same program unit (or dependent units).

On Toshiba support and download page you can download Toshiba BT stack but it is for usage with Toshiba notebooks.
You bought non-Toshiba product so for download contact Nexus or visit Nexus support page.

Need suggestion in forms migration and database migration

Friends,
We have currently forms 6 (not 6i) applications in Novell 4.
and our db is 9iR2 in RHEL AS 3. which is running for more than 8 years.
our management has decided to go for the migration....
Before one month i searched in the web and i came up with the solution as like below.
1. convert forms 6 to 10g and deploy using Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 (this is the latest version for forms and repots) in RHEL AS 4.8
2. upgrade 9ir2 db to 10gr2 db in RHEL AS 4.8
But now...my manager is asking me to go for the latest version.
that is....
1. forms 11g or the latest supporting version (Fusion middleware) in windows/Linux (choose the best one)
2. 11gR2 db in rhel 5.3 or above
so, please suggest me....which version i should go?
which type of combination will be better?
i cannot install oracle application server 10gR3....am i correct? it will not support forms and reports to deploy.
i hope somebody will help me in this regarding....
thanks

Hi Pankaj,
According to my knowledge there is no option to update the backend system by using the scanned PDF file like adobe forms. It is advisable to design the adobe form by seeing the paper document & updating the backend system.

Need suggestions on upgrading my Mac G4 500 dual drive purchased in 2000

I was looking to purchase a new G5 however due to the price being so high and funds being low I want to upgrade my G4 so it can run the lates version of Final Cut Pro. I have been told i need to increase my RAM to the highest which is four 528 MB dimm RAM. I was told upgrade my processor. I don't know which one since there are so many out there. Keeping in mind the price can any one suggest one that is reasonable. I was also told to change my video card. Again any suggestions. If i upgrade my video card would i need to upgrade the ac adaptor?
I also want to run the latest version of the Operating system i think its Leopard.
I do about 10 weddings a year to I dont really need the Fastest system. I just need to upgrade my system to run solid.
Any suggestions is appreciated. I live in New York City. If any one knows of a place in NYC where I can have this done i would appreciate knowing where they are.
Finally if I do all these upgrades will I be getting a good system or just invest in an Imac?
Thanks

I have upgraded my G4 Gigabit Ethernet to point of exhaustion. I can't put anything else in it, and by the end, it has costed more than a new computer. The difference is this - with a new computer, you have to plop down all of the money right away, but you get something that is going to last you a while. Upgrading a used computer is good because you can upgrade is gradually and it doesn't effect your pocket book so much because you make small investments at different times. The only problem with upgrading is that the more you add to the system, the more problems you could potentially cause, plus things start to fail when they get older.
If I had to do it all over again, I think I would pick the newer machine. There are just too many limitations to the old G4's, things like the 2x AGP slot, no PCI-X, only 2 GB of RAM, bus speed is only 100 or 133 mhz, clock speed is limited, etc. - all things you can't upgrade. ESPECIALLY if you want run an app like final cut pro. I bought my machine for running Pro Tools (professional audio recording app), and I still can feel the lack of power my machine has even after all of the upgrading.
The most important advice I think I could give you is this - do some research, see what everyone else who has experience would do, shop around, weigh the pros and cons to each possible machine to buy, and make lists of all of what you need and total up the costs depending on what machine you get. I would guess that buying a newer machine vs an older machine plus all of the upgrading needed would be pretty close. If you're patient, you should be able to get the newer machine without it hurting your pocketbook so badly.

Xserver, os X Server and software licensing

Hi!
I work on a comunication agency, in the design dept.
The agency is preparing a plan to update the servers and network structure. My boss ask me to make part of the team that is identifiyng the needs in these area.
The design dept. uses Macs (4). All the rest of the agency uses Pc's.
One of the things that I've purposed is a Apple Xserver for the design dept., and the IT administrator told to the team that 2 year ago installed a Xserver and he told us that is possible to install all the software we use in the server (photoshop, indesign, etc...) and that the xserver makes the distribution of the licenses.
Ex.: We have 2 licenses of Indesign CS 2 installed on 2 different computers. If one of us need to use Indesign and we dont have it installed in the computer we are using at the moment, we have to swap arround users, close the works and reorganize things... not good!
I searched for that feacture in Apple website and didnt find.
So is that true? Is it possible?

Adobe does not offer floating licenses for business, only education clients, AFAIK.
Mac OS X server does not have a license server built in, but Sassafas KeyServer is an app, that I've used in education settings for this very purpose.
You may be able to netboot your Macs and use your software in this way, but it might not be worth the trouble.
You can use Portable Home Directories in OSX Server to make moving from one machine to another easier, but managing software that locks or activates, based on a particluar machine's hardware would be difficult.

Need suggestion for a burner and set up....

Hi
Last week I downloaded latest addition of I-tunes and have imported some songs. I want to put on a basic CD for listening in car. My computer (windows XP Home) doesn't have a built in CD burner so I need to purchase an external CD burner.
I just need the basics. Any suggestions? How does one hook this up to the computer and how will I know if it will work with I-tunes? Thanks much

They can hook up via USB/Firewire. I would get it from here,
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=478&Nav=
Or here,

and they should work just fine with iTunes.

Need suggestion regarding File compression and splititng

Hi,
I want to split and compress the big files into small chucks. On later any standard zip utility i.e. winzip, 7z etc can merge(extract) all the chunks to generate the original file. I am looking for any java library which provide the split and compression functionality.
As Java also supports in built compression utility. Should I use those library or any other open source is available to do this? I welcome your suggestion regarding how can I start.
Thanks

If you're just looking for something to be used internally, it'd be pretty simple:
1. Open your source InputStream.
2. Create a standard read/write loop to pump the stream.
3. Add a counter that determines how much you've pushed into your current target. After you reach a certain value, close your current target, create a new target stream, and reset the counter.
4. Conclude by closing your source and your current target.
For compression, you can use the built-in GZIPOutputStream or a third-party library of your choice. I usually find GZIP sufficient for my needs.
Of course, if you want the output to be compatible with other programs like 7-Zip, you've got a lot more work on your hands complying with the file format spec. :)

Need suggestions for upgrading my hard drive...(700 gigs, completely full.)

I like having a large internal drive. I want to buy one of those Western Digita 2 Terabyte SATA drives and put it in.
Problem is, I'd need a way to time-machine the 700 gig drive first. And for that I'd need an external 700gig drive. And a lot of free time.
Any suggestions?

All you need to do is connect an external drive to your iMac and run Time Machine, if you are going to put a 2 TB drive inside your iMac you are not going to get any much larger than 2 TB right now. My recommendation is to rethink the way you store things. I would recommend instead of one large internal drive to get 2 external drives, all being FW 800 for speed. You could do something like this.
External HD #1 used as a bootable clone to the internal drive. This drive does not need to be large, less than 100 GB would be fine. You can create a bootable clone using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
External HD #2, move most of your data from the internal drive to this drive. If you get a FW 800 drive as recommended you will still have plenty of speed and most likely not perceive any loss in performance.
External HD #3, use this as your Time Machine Drive. This doesn't have to be FW 800 but it does make it easier if it is because you can daisy chain all the external drives together.
It's not cheap but it is a more efficient way to work in my opinion.
Regards,
Roger

Need advice on upgrading OS and iPhoto with multiple altered libraries.

I am going to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard (Bundle Pack) and from iPhoto 6 to iPhoto 8. My wife and I have separate accounts on our MacBook Pro and I have combined our iPhoto Libraries onto an external hard drive using iPhoto Library Manager. Afterwards, I opened the Mac HD icon on my desktop, opened the pictures folder, went through the iPhoto Library folder, and opened the Originals folder. I deleted my photos through here which kept the thumbnail data (when I open iPhoto, I can see all of my photos, I just can't enlarge them beyond a certain size or I get a grayed out image with an exclamation point). I have since done the same for some of my wife's photos to free up space. This has been sort of useful to know what photos we have while not eating up the hard drive.
How do I install iLife '09 with a clean iPhoto Library? I do not care about seeing thumbnails anymore. However, is it possible to keep the thumbnails on my wife's account? When I open the iPhoto Library on the external HD, will it automatically convert it to the updated version?
An Apple Tech once told me that altering the iPhoto database like I did can corrupt it and they have since removed that ability in the latest version of iPhoto. I know I screwed it up and am unsure about the best approach once I do upgrade. Any advice is much appreciated.

Installing iPhoto '09 will work smoothly and seamlessly for operating libraries - I have no idea how it will react to the ones your have corrupted but suspect that it will upgrade them so they will operate in the same crippled way they do now
To have a fresh library you depress the option key and launch iPhoto and use new library option
An Apple Tech once told me that altering the iPhoto database like I did can corrupt it
that is correct as you see when you try to enlarge a photo in the libraries you have modified
and they have since removed that ability in the latest version of iPhoto.
not removed but made more difficult so it is less like to happen by mistake - you can still do it in a number of ways but it is not a good idea
I know I screwed it up and am unsure about the best approach once I do upgrade. Any advice is much appreciated.
My advice is to use standard operating procedure - backup everything up and do your upgrades (I would do the OS and wait a few days and then do iPhoto myself) - the good library will be updated and work as before - the corrupted libraries may or may not upgrade but i would guess they will and work as before too

Newbee needs suggestions for a search and replace script

I can't figure out this scripting stuff. I looked at the scripting guide I downloaded from adobe some time ago. I am not a programmer.
I do not need a script that says "hello world."
I need a script that will do the following:
Search selected text from one point to another. let me explain.
I create a table of contents in InDesign CS4. We separate our book sections by "section". So the TOC looks like:
Section 1
item one.... 1
item two... 2-4
item three... 5
Section 2
item one... 1-3
item two... 4-5
item three... 6
and so forth.
I then manually go in and change the TOC to:
Section 1
item one... 1 - 1
item two... 1 - 2-4
Section 2
item one... 2 - 1-3
item two... 2 - 4-5
Where the page reference in the TOC contains the section prefix and the page number provides the page range (if more than one page). Should mention that when I create the TOC I use a place holder in the TOC style set up for the section prefix; that is, my TOC initially looks like:
Section 1
item one.... X - 1
item two.... X - 2, etc. I then highlight a range and find/change for each range.
So, the script would do the following:
Look in selected text (the entire TOC) frame which at times spans two or three pages from Section 1 to Section 2:
Change the "^t (tab before number) to "^t (section number)(space)(hyphen)(space)":
And then look at next number (i.e "4") and change the previous end of previous line from "1" to "1-3"
Then repeat for range from Section 2 to Section 3, etc.
Currently, I do it manually. That is ok, but it would be great to have a script that would do this for me.
Thanks in advance,
RPP

The last thing you need is a script.
When you want to make your TOC, go to Pages, Numbering and Section Options, and put a section prefix in like 1- for each section (both 1 and 2 in your case). Click "Include Prefix When Numbering Pages".
Then make your TOC.
It will have all the section prefixes. ("1-1", "2-2-4", examples)
Now just change the Numbering and Section Options BACK to your pre-TOC defaults. As long as you don't update the TOC under Layout/Update TOC, your TOC text will contain the prefix, but your page numbers will look normal. If you have to change the text in the TOC for any reason, do it manually.
Let me know if that works.

Do I need to have SQL server and VSS writer installed on my Laptop?

I am a home user and I just want to know if it is necessary for me to have these installed om my computer? What do they do? I have the services disabled as of now. Should I re-enable them? Is there any benefit from them? Thanks-George
This has been resolved.Thanks-G

no, you don't need them unless you are developing database-driven websites. each are services related to hosting databases locally.
