Oraview.vrf(0) is missing -- installation problem

Hello:
I had a problem when I was trying to install Oracle 8.0.5 on my
RedHat 6.0 machine. Please help me if you happen to know the
solution. It seemed that everything was OK at the first stage of
my installation. After I set the environment variables, I ran the
orainst to install new product without creating database. After I
got the success result, I ran the "glibcpatch" script. I also got
the message saying "Applied glibc patch for Oracle 8.0.5.
successfully." Well, after I ran the orainst again to try to
create database objects, I got the problem. In the install
screen, I select "Oracle 8 Standard RDBMS 8.0.5.0.0". After the
installation ran for a while, I got this message:
Oraview.vrf(0): FILE_NOT_FOUND while verifying oraview.
(No such file or directory.)
I tried several times to install again from the very beginning.
But each time it stopped there. I got the same results. Did
anybody out there have the same problem before? If you know how
to solve this problems, please help me. Your help is greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had experiences of installation problems of Oralce products such as Oracle Forms and Servers when the machines were previously installed Oracle products.
To avoid such installation problems, the best suggestion from Oracle is to have a clean machine. When re-formating the hard disk and re-installing the OS is not a practical choice, we need at least clean up the window registry as much as we can(Windows 95/98 or Windows NT) after we uninstall the previous Oracle products.
To clean up the registry, first thing is to go to Run|regedit|hkey_local_machine|software and delete the Oracle directory. Then I would do search items using keyword 'oracle' to delete items related to those Oracle products we want to delete. (But be very careful!) Though we won't be allowed to delete everything we want to delete, but at least it's much cleaner than if we just do uninstallations.

This happened with the OS X Mountain Lion upgrade, I had to 'move' three files (com.pgp.framework.PGPwide, keyserver1.pgp.comGIobalDirectoryKey.asc, and PGPnke.kext) to get my system up and running again.
This time you have to move the file PGPwde.kext found under the /Library/Extensions/ I have those files on my desktop, but you can move them anywhere you want.
Reboot the Macn and voila!
Yes I upgraded to Maverick last night and the first issue I had was with the KeyChain, the fix was easy, but the system wouldn't let me make it since the PGP file was rebooting the system. I had to go into SafeMode (press SHIFT upon reboot) and then I fixed my KeyChain probem (had to reset the password), then I fixed the PGP problem.
Thanks and hope this helps!

It's a no brainer between the AirPort Extreme and Airport Express.
The AirPort Extreme has 6 wireless antennas up at the top of the "tower", while the AirPort Express has four, so the Extreme has significantly better wireless speed and range than the Express.
As you know, the broadcast power of wireless routers is limited by law, and most routers are running full blast. Apple routers are not known for their broadcast power, so what we cannot tell you is whether the Extreme will outperform the existing wireless router that you already have in terms of range.
Also as you know, the speed of your Internet connection is limited to the plan that you have with Verizon. An Apple router cannot take the speed of Internet connection that it receives from your Verizon plan and make it go any faster.
A user who has both the same Verizon router as you and an AirPort Extreme might be able to tell you how the products compare in his home.
But...and this is a big BUT...... the bottom line with any wireless router is that you will not know how well it performs in your home until you try it out in your home. To think otherwise would be foolhardy at best.
Buy from Apple and you have a 14 day return privilege in case things don't work as well as hoped. Other stores may offer a similar option. Check first, before you buy.

Newbie Alert: Problem with saving downloads to a network drive

I'm a new Mac user so, I apologize for the newbie question.
I've have a NAS on my home network. I can see it and access it just fine. I have Firefox set to ask me where I want something downloaded. I don't get the option of putting, say a PDF in a folder on my network storage device.
I can put it anywhere on the iMac's hard drive or even a USB/Firewire drive but not a network location. In Windows, you'd map a drive and be off to the races.
How do I do this on a Mac?
Thank you in advance,
Rick

10.5 Server : Standard Installation : Newbie Tutorial / Setup Walk-Through

Hello all,
I recently setup OS X Server 10.5 for a client after doing it many times at my home. I could not have possibly done it without the help of this discussion board so thanks to everyone asking and answering questions!
To help other server newbies easily setup Server 10.5 (as apple claims), I'm hoping to make a basic installation procedure that will always work for newbies. Right now it's not exactly "detailed" - just the basic steps to ensure success.
Below is my setup procedure that has worked well for me (especially at my house). It's for a Standard installation; and we'll be setting up the server to include Mail (local only), iChat, VPN, File Sharing, iCal, Web Server/Wiki, Apple Remote Desktop access, and Time Machine (may not work well).
Please let me know if I'm missing something that will help ensure this setup works as perfectly as possible on any system.
+to help make sure this works, try using all the names i've used below (besides perhaps user names & passwords); like "server.house"+
*1) Setup Router*
• ensure router is properly connected to modem/internet
• router lan address = 10.0.2.1
• subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
• dhcp on
• dhcp server starts at = 10.0.2.9
• dhcp server ends at = 10.0.2.99
• dns server (opendns servers) = 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 (not a completely necessary step, but may help ensure it works)
• port forward to 10.0.2.2 = vpn (udp: 500, 4500; udp/tcp: 50)
• port forward to 10.0.2.2 = ard (tcp: 5900, 5988; udp/tcp: 3283)
*2) Install/Setup Server*
• startup server computer with installation cd and start installation process
• choose "Standard Installation"
• setup administrator account with the following settings:
user name: Administrator
short name: admin
password: admin
• setup network settings (choose manual configuration):
manual ip address = 10.0.2.2
subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
router = 10.0.2.1
dns server = 10.0.2.2
search domain = house
• primary dns server = server.house
• server name = server
+choose all the services and let installation complete; wait until desktop loads+
Verify things are initially okay:
• Open safari, and type "server.house" in the address bar (ensure wiki appears)
Good, now:
• Download latest 10.5 server combo update, install, restart.
• Run software update until all updates are installed (may require several restarts)
• Setup a dyndns account for your server, install dyndns software (make sure it's updating via web and the ip address doesn't start with 10.x)
*3) Setup Server Preferences*
• open server preferences
• go to file sharing: turn on file sharing
• go to vpn: turn on vpn
shared secret = somethingsecretive
ip address range = 10.0.2.101 - 10.0.2.199
• go to users
• make new user(s) with all options enabled
+you should now have all services in server preferences enabled (if not, enable them) and user names setup; for good measure, restart the computer again+
*4) Setup Client Computers*
+make sure client computers have all software updates installed before proceeding+
• Open system preferences: network
• Make a new location called "Server"
• Set TCP/IP to DHCP
• DNS Server = 10.0.2.2
• Search domain = house
• Click apply
It's probably a good time to double check that the internet works - open Safari and google something. Good, it works.
There are two ways to setup the client computers to connect to the server with basically no manual configuration needed:
First way:
Go to system preferences: accounts: select user name to associate with server: select "server account" (if available): enter appropriate info for user on server: wait a bit: restart computer
or (if "server account" isn't available):
Second way:
Open finder: applications: utilities: directory utility. once opened, it should automatically find your server. if it doesn't, click the lock, click "plus sign", type = "open directory", server name = server.house, click ok
• enter appropriate info to connect to server and ensure it's set to automatically setup all services, once finished - restart.
*5) If the automatic setup didn't work, here's how to manually setup the client workstations:*
Safari
• Open Safari and type "server.house" in the address bar, enter user/pass, make sure it connects to wiki.
iChat
• add new jabber account
• jabber id = [email protected]
• server = server.house
• port = 5222
• kerbos = on (you can leave off if you want)
You can test by connecting to your Jabber account
VPN
• open Network in system preferences
• click lock
• click "plus sign"
• interface = VPN
• vpn type = L2TP over IPSec
• service name = server
• server address = your dyndns address
• click advanced
• dns server = 10.0.2.2
• search domain = house
• click ok
• click authentication
• enter user's server password
• enter "somethingsecretive" in "shared secret"
• click ok - click apply
You can test by clicking "connect" - after verified, disconnect.
_File sharing_
• Open finder: click "Server" under "Shared"
• If it connects as guest, click "connect as"
• enter your server username/password
Drag a file to and from a folder to make sure file sharing works
Mail
• Add new mail account (imap)
• Incoming mail server = server.house
• Outgoing mail server = server.house
• Outgoing authentication = kerberos 5 (or password)
• user name = [email protected]
• enter password
Check to make sure you get the server welcome e-mail and that you can send email to other users on the server.
*Time Machine* (very problematic at this time)
• Open Time Machine in System Preferences
• Click "options"
• Eliminate as many folders as possible to keep backup times shorter; click done
• Click "change disk"
• Select "Server" disk; click "use for backup"
** I highly recommend using local SuperDuper! backups and/or Retrospect for networked backups to the server. Other options include the dot mac Backup application or online backups (google it).
*If you have PCs on your network that you want to be able to connect to the server for file sharing*
• Open Windows Explorer (my computer)
• Click tools: map network drive
• Enter "\\server\public" (or if you setup a user account on the server for the pc user(s) i think you can use "\\server\pcusername" - and follow the next two steps)
-Click "connect using different user name"
-Enter pc user account username/password
• save settings
Check to make sure the drive shows up and you can move files to/from server
Helpful info for newbies setting up server 10.5:
• Apple's Server Resources page with all manuals
• Probably the most helpful newbie setup discussion
• Probably the most helpful newbie setup discussion #2
• Discussion about DNS
• "Time Machine is a dog... discussion"
• Manage Central Address Book discussion
• Leopard to Windows Files Sharing Issues discussion
• Lynda's 10.5 Server Training Videos (this does cost money and I haven't personally used it, but it looks very helpful)
I hope that's a good start for people, but I'm sure some setting(s) can be tweaked or I missed something that could make this process go even more smoothly. Lets make this the definitive newbie standard installation setup tutorial.

Hi gikku,
Good idea! I forgot about the web server port forwarding, that will allow the wiki to be seen over the internet.
One question: what does adding the dyndns address to "Server Admin > web > settings > sites" actually do? I'm not too knowledgeable about Server Admin.
Thanks,

Real newbie-I can hear my loops in my library, but when I drag them to a track, there is no audio. What am I doing wrong?

Real newbie question-I can hear the loops in my library, but when I drag them to a track, there is no audio when I playback or record. What am I doing wrong?

You probably put Midi loops (green) on audio tracks, and audio loops (blue) on Midi tracks.
That won´t play.

Binding to Active Directory Problem. I am a Newb! probably something stupid

Hey All,
Trying to get my apple xsever to join our windows domain. I got it to bind and the user accounts show up on the machine but then it askes me to join it to the Active Directory Kerberos realm. I am confused.
what i am trying to do is joint it to the windows domain for my admin account on the actual server and then set up local user accounts on the machine so when my mac users log in they authenticate using the local mac account and not the windows domain account. Does this make sense? From what i read macs authenticate using the local account before going to the windows account which is what i want. I am a total newb to this so forgive me for the stupid questions.
cheers all,
jess

Hi
set up the xserve as an Open directory Master
will it place nice on the network
with the rest of the windows servers that we have.
There should be no problem in doing this. All you need to do is decide whether you want your Mac Server to run its own DNS Service or to use the existing DNS service being provided by the AD Server. Open Directory Master requires DNS Services running somewhere.
i just want to have a mac studio of about 35 people be
kind of an island within a sea of windows users. If
there can be cross over there then fine.. but really
i want the mac to work well with the apple server and
if i can get the windows clients hooked up also then
fine.
There should be no problem with this.
When you say studio do you mean a graphics design studio? Or are you talking about a video production studio? If the answer is yes to either one or both then perhaps a simple file server would do. An Open Directory Master is OK in this environment but your network needs to be up to job. Ideally gigabit ethernet certainly for video production and also if your studio are heavy photoshop users. You could get away with 100Base-T but with 35 heavy users editing files stored on the server as well as Home folders it may be a bit too much. If this is the situation in your studio you would be better placed working locally and saving the files back to the server at the end of the day. You would set up your users with names and passwords in the OD directory node. Your studio can use those account details to log on to the server to access share points but still work locally if they need to. If you start windows services on the mac server then there should be no reason for windows clients to access share points on the mac server as well. Be careful how you configure windows services as you already have existing PC servers on the network.
As you have already stated your aim is to keep the macs completely separate from the PCs then consider connecting all your macs to a separate switch and have them running of a different IP address range and subnet mask. You could then use an intervening router to handle traffic between the two networks, this way you control cross platform access to shared resources. If you understand networks, routers etc then you should be able to accomplish this without too much trouble. Again searching the Server forums should give you plenty of ideas and advice on the best way to achieve what you want. As ever defining and deciding what you want you want the server to do is half the problem.

Mac pro 2.66, 2 new seagate drives raid 0, newbie, not sure if a problem...

Hi,
I'm a relative newbie--just got a mac pro 2.66 and added two additional seagate sata 7200.10 500 gig drives that I striped together using disk utility and set at 0. My intention? to do video and animation editing and use the additional satas to read/write my data on, as I create it (I'm planning on doing routine backups to DVD's)
My potential problem: Just to test it, I put a couple of word docs that I'm updating/writing on it. If I don't type for a while (say 15 minutes), when I do type and save, it takes a a while (maybe 30 seconds and yes, get a rolling ball) to save. After that, saving is instant. Is there a sleep issue with this? There are no systems on the striped satas. I'm using 10.47, btw.
Anybody know why? are my disks just bad? aside from the initial save problems, they're fine.
mac pro 2.66 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I would hope it is not a firmware issue with Seagate. There have been some, and make sure your drives are set to NEVER spin-down in Energy control panel (system preferences).
That is 1TB almost of storage - to backup - and as one huge volume. It is possible to first partition the drives, then stripe like to like partitions into RAID also (if you wanted to be able to erase a volume, or keep some files separate, not everyone does).
It can also help to zero a drive first, or make sure that the drive is suitable for RAID (seems most but not all are). There have been reports here, or on Barefeats, as well as on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com about drive issues. OWC is now updating the firmware on some Seagate model drives.

Newbie questions: 'extracting' values from a single column. Is it possible?

Hello everybody,
I'm a pretty newbie user of BI 11. I would like to know if it's possibile to aggregate values by filtering different values in a same column. As my English is quite bad, let me summarize my problem with an example:
Column A - Number of Recevived Calls -- Column B Caller's Satisfaction Rating
A: 12 - B: Good
A: 25 - B: Average
A: 100 - B: Perfect
A: 35 - B: Not good enough
I would like to be able to do some math with single scores as, for instance, to group together good, average and perfect scores and remove the not good enough scores, or, another example, I'd like to calculate the percentage of GOOD ratings on the total number of calls.
Anyone can help me? I'm a simple user of the BI frontend, so I don't have access to the underlying database structure.
Sorry for any mistake I made in my English writing and Thanks a lot in advance.

I assume Column A is a measure. In the edit formula for this column, highlight the column and filter it based on column B. For example you might to filter all the calls for 'Good' then you may divide it by total no of calls or something similar. It might look something like this -- Filter(table.column A USING (table.Column B = 'Good'))/Sum(table.columA)
you might want to use a combination of case statements as well depending on what you want to achieve.
for example -- case when table.column B='GOOD' then sum(table.column A) else (sum(table.column A)/(case when table.column B='BAD' then sum(table.column A) end))end
Give it a try, hope this helps.
