Need to rename (or copy) workbooks, but retain sharing

We are moving from Discoverer 4i to 10g. Part of this process involves a new naming convention for workbooks. When I can open the current one and use "Save As" to save it under the new name, but when I do that, any sharing done to the original is not brought over to the new wb.
Is there a way to rename (or copy) a workbook, without losing the sharing?
Note: The only two places I see the workbook name in the EUL is in the DOC_NAME column of the EUL4_DOCUMENTS and EUL4_QPP_STATS tables (Discoverer 4i). If I can't use Discoverer itself to do this, would it work to rename workbooks with a SQL script?
Thanks.
Mitch

Hi Mitch
You are correct. Discoverer has no in-built mechanism for renaming a workbook and using Save As will lose sharing.
As you have correctly identified, the name of the workbook is only in two places, in EUL4_DOCUMENTS and EUL4_QPP_STATS. Updating the DOC_NAME column, using SQL, in the EUL4_DOCUMENTS will do what you want. The sharing will be retained as that is managed using the DOC_ID which you will not be changing.
By the way, manually changing or updating the EUL tables using SQL is not recommended by Oracle and could, if not done with care and restraint, cause the EUL not to work. I mention this to discourage you from making other changes.
Best wishes
Michael

Can I copy files – but with certain restrictions?

I have just finished a large project, the archives of which involves about 5000 "base" files, stored on about 80 CDs and 50 DVDs, involving about 50,000 files in total. Each of the "base" files may have had up to 30 incremental versions. i.e. a certain text file may have undergone revision 23 times, and each revision was saved and archived to (probably) a different disk, with a different suffix – a, b, c and so on. But sometimes the suffix didn't change even though the file was edited. I might have done a bit more dust removal on an image and just overwrote the old file (already archived), and so the new one was archived on a different disk.
I now have 130 disks from which I would like to extract all the files and collapse them to one large archive that will probably span about 20 disks by the time I delete some files not needed. That way I can easily search for all versions of, say, GB097, by going to the particular DVD that has the "G" files on it. Up would come:
GB097
GB097a
GB097b
GB097b-1
GB097b-2
GB097c
... and so on.
This is what I would like to do:
1. Grab the first archive disk, open every folder, and copy all the files to the one folder on a hard drive.
2. Open the second disk and repeat step (1), but with these two provisos.
(a) If a file is identical to a previously copied file (maybe I archived it twice), the file isn't copied. However...
(b) If a file has the same name as a previously copied file, but the data within that file is different (i.e. I removed some dust from an image file, but left the name unchanged), I'd like that file to be copied with a numbered suffix, the same way that Trash treats identically named files.
Any suggestions how I could do this?

Possible? Recreate my original Homepage pages into iWeb but retain old URL?

I have Tiger in the box and still have to install it.
I just bought iLife '06 today and will install it after installing Tiger.
I already have a .Mac homepage up — created with Homepage Manager.
I am thinking now that I would like to recreate that original homepage but do it with iWeb.
How do I end up with my original homepage pages all re-done into iWeb templates but retain my original .Mac homepage URL? All my friends know that URL. Could someone please explain?
— Lorna in Southern California

Well really it's not OR but AND. If you want to do away with your old >homepage-style pages and send people to your iWeb pages via the old URL, >then you must put the redirect on the old pages.
Or you could leave the old pages up but add a link that says "Here's my new homepage..." or something like that...
Hi... I see you live in Florida — and hope you are not in any of the traditional hurricane paths!
I think that I want to start copying/recreating my Homepage pages into iWeb pages and accept that I will have a new URL someday in the near future (because I intend to do the copying as fast as I can and not stop). I can send a notice out and change a few other things. However, I have questions for that interim time when I am working on the iWeb pages but not finished with them.
While I am working on iWeb pages, I am given a new URL, right? And thus, I would at that point have two URLs with .Mac. Is that possible? As I see it, the first URL would be the one I have now, which is the address of my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage. And the second URL, wouldn't it be the URL of the iWeb pages? That's possible???
I understand the concept of having a redirect page from my original Homepage ultimatly to the new iWeb page, but is it an automatic redirect or one which the viewer can activate if he wants to? I would not want a redirect page to quickly, blindly switch a visitor from the old Homepage to the new iWeb pages which are incomplete.
I don't understand the mechanics of URLs. I don't know what a Redirect Page looks like or how it works and I don't see how I could be working on my new iWeb pages with its new iWeb URL, all the while leaving my present Homepage alone, viewable by visitors with ITS OWN URL.
[several minutes passed]
And now that I have sat here and thought for several minutes, it seems that the easiest thing to do would be to have no redirect page for a while. All that I ask in that case is: Is it possible to do that? Is it possible to have my old/present Homepage viewable while I am working on my iWeb pages?
I think I just solved one of my questions all by myself. If I begin to work on iWeb I will be given a new URL — an iWeb URL. Thus technically, when I Edit and Publish in iWeb, technically, people could view those pages, but chances are they will not if I don't announce the new iWeb URL to them. OK. I see......
I am asking all of this now because I am the type that needs to envision and understand a project from start to finish before I start. I do not like surprises — and cyber surprises have the ability to unsettle me.
Could someone please realign my erratic thoughts? Are my goals possible? Can I have my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage viewable and visitable while working away on copying them to my new iWeb site? (I bought iLife '06 yesterday and will install it and Tiger today. Tiger first and iWeb'06 second, as instructed.)

Need to make a copy/clone of a table which has sdo_geometry data type

Folks,
We are running Oracle 11gr1 on Suse Linux platform.
We have a requirement, where we need to make a copy of a table, in the same database but in a difference schema, the source table has about 130 millions rows and also has the sdo_getometry data type.
I tried materialized view, but MV does not support sdo_geometry data type.
According to one of my DBAs, doing it via data pump , will take few days, which is not acceptable.
Is there a way, we can make a copy of this table in the same db ?
Thanks
Ashish

Siva,
This is not for backup purpose.
Here is the background information on this requirement.
I need to have a static copy of a table, which has spatial column, sdo_geometry in it.
So we can run another application against this table, just read-only, since we need static data, data in the source table changes quite often.
One of my DBA suggested to have another instance/database, to keep the copy of the source table, I thought idea of having another database just to keep a copy of a table is an over kill.
That is why I had asked this question and you had provided a viable solution.
Then we need to refresh this table , with the data (changes) from the source table, maybe once in 2- 3 weeks.
I tried creating a Materialized view, but it does not support Spatial columns.
So now I am trying to figure out, the most efficient way to refresh the clone table from the source table.
Regards,
Ashish

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro (2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need to purchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro(2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need topurchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

The OS disks that are shipped with a particular product
are set up so that tey will only install on that product.
It will install on any Mini of that exact vintage, but that
is all.
This is to prevent people from doing exactly what you
are trying to do. The license for OSX shipped with any
is only valid for that product. Also, Snow Leopard,
including Server, is only permitted to be run on one
computer at a time. Bottom line, unlike Lion, legally
you cannot install the same copy on multiple
computers unless some "family pack" or site license
is purchased.
Yes, you need to purchase another copy.
The copy of Snow Leopard license is here:

I am trying to install garage band onto my ipad but it says i need to be in ios7. but when i go to update my system it says I am upd to date (with ios 5). What do I do??

Download the current GarageBand version to a computer's iTunes library, go to the device, sign into the iTunes App Store with the Apple ID used to do that, and try downloading it from the list of previous purchases. If that doesn't work and you don't already have a copy of a compatible version, you can't.

Smurfslayer wrote:
For the particularly persnickety types you might want to expose the full headers in the email message as well. It's easy enough to do, from mail's 'menu' select "view"; then "message"; then all headers.
Another option you could use is a screen capture using Grab.
Activate Grab, then shift + command + w (for a window screen shot). Then confirm the window selection and click the mail message.

Rename or copy a dashboard in OBIEE

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to rename a dashboard? If I open a dashboard > Page Options > Edit Dashboard > Dashboard Properties (in Dashboard Editor), I can only set properties for the Dashboard and delete, rename, and reorder dashboard pages. There seems to be no way to rename the Dashboard itself.
I also tried to go to Dashboard Administration -- here, you can only delete or change access permissions of the dashboards or go to dashboard editor. No option to rename.
I can't seem to find a way to copy a dashboard and then rename it either -- copy may work using the catalog manager, but seems like I won't be able to rename the copied dashboard either.
Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thanks!
KM

I have successfully created a new dashboard and copied all pages from an existing one to the new one. I tried to do the same thing by creating a new folder and then copying an existing dashboard folder into the new one (assuming I can get all the pages) and it resulted in all my dashboards disappearing. I can still see them all unde _portal, and I didnt move anything (just copy). I later deleted my new folder and everything is back to normal. Any idea why this happened? I dont recall changing any security setting, or deleting or moving anything..simply a copy. Any ideas are appreciated.

VMWare/parallels do I need to buy a copy of Windows XP

Hi I am new to mac, love my mac so far, although some applications I use on my office pc are windows therefore I need to run windows on my mac too, quite like VMWare but I have researched and found I need to buy a copy of Windows XP too (cant use Vista as my work programmes dont like vista) there is a copy of Windows XP for OEM can I buy this and run it via VMWare or Parallels will it work? Sorry for all the questions but I am stuck and dont want to waste money on the wrong software.
Any assistance would be gratefully received!
Thanks

All of them. That's part of the risk in buying these OEM discs at the cheap price. They are cheap for a reason. After you install you'll find that MS considers that you are running an illegal copy which they then won't let you upgrade unless you purchase a valid license.

Defining event handlers for renaming, moving, copying and deleting of files.

Hi every one.
I had created a tool for InDesign CS6 written using Javascript to manipulate portions of text in nested way by marking them with small non-printing small anchored text frames contains sequenced numbers and storing these portions as snippets in a spicific folder beside the InDesign documents.
This tool is open source and free of charge, the only this that I want from you (after downloading) as a user to feedback and as a developer to improve it and join me.
sourceforge.net/projects/livesnippets
My question is not about this but I want to trace when the user rename, move, copy or delete a file of these snippets or any container folder and interact according to that by reserving the links between snippet files and their instances which interspersed in InDesign documents.
Thanks.

Here is an example of using Bridge events… What this scrript will do if you add it to Bridge scripts… is set *all* indesign snippets in the folders you browse to… to be locked/readonly… This means that users will get an extra dialog if they want to delete the file… Finder or Bridge… You can't just rename the file Finder or Bridge… and Bridge's Batch Rename will only function if the user makes copies to new location… You could set this property using the File Object with indesign…
#target bridge
onDocLoaded = function( event ) {
    if ( event.object instanceof Document && event.type == 'loaded' ) {
        lockIDSnippets();
        return { handled: true };
function lockIDSnippets() {
    var i, count, doc, thum;
    doc = app.document;
    count = doc.visibleThumbnailsLength;
    for ( var i = 0; i < count; i++ ) {
        thum = doc.visibleThumbnails[i];
        if ( /\.idms/.test( thum.spec.name ) ) {
            thum.spec.readonly = true;
// Register event handler
app.eventHandlers.push( { handler: onDocLoaded } );

I have duplicated a sheet and need to rename the tables in the duplicate. Can anyone help me?

I have duplicated a sheet in Numbers and need to rename the tables in the duplicate sheet to avoid circular references. Can anyone help me?

Hi Pacarina,
I'm not sure if this is your question (I'm puzzled by your mention of circular references) but this is how you change a table name in Numbers 3. Select the table (click on it), then make sure Table Name is checked in the Table tab of the format panel, then edit the name directly where it appears above the table.

I have a Mac i5 and need to download the application 'Numbers' but everytime I try to do so, it says can't do as the ver 2.2 for the app needs new software 'Snow Leopard'. I don't want to upgrade but dont know what to do??

If your profile is correct you're already on the final version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Sure it wasn't Lion it was asking for?
If that's the only version available on the app store, you'll need to source a copy of the iWork '09 DVD - not cheap now - only available via Amazon or eBay etc.
