"NOT" statements in partitioning?

Can you use NOT statements in Partition Areas?I used member select whilst designing my partition area. In my source, I want to select all accounts, but not level zero and not any members beginning with a certain character string, say "AB*"The syntax by the partition manager came out with:( @IDESCENDENTS("Account") AND ( @LEVMBRS("Account","Lev0,Account") AND @MATCH("Account","ab*")))i.e. no "NOT" statement!!I tried various ways of getting the "not" into the syntax, all of which work in other areas of Essbase but can't seem to get a Verify in Partition Manager.Can this be done. If so, does anyone have the correct syntax.Thanks in advance.(V6.5)

Just this morning I attempted the same thing. With no luck, Member Selection evaluates the NOT correctly but Partitioning does not. I have submitted it as a bug.Corey BidmeadClarity [email protected]

Partition pruning not working for partitioned table joins

Hi,
We are joining 4 partitioned tables on partition column & other key columns. And we are filtering the driving table on partition key. But explain plan is showing that all tables except the driving table are not partition pruning and scanning all partitions.Is there any limitation that filter condition cannot be dynamic?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Here are the details...

Below query generated from Business Objects and submitted to Database (the case statement is generated by BO). Cant we use Case/Subquery/Decode etc for the partitioned column? We are assuming that the case causing the issue to not to dynamic partition elimination on the other joined partitioned tables (TAB_B_RPT, TAB_C_RPT).

Windows could not set a partition active on disk 0. error 0X80300024

I followed the "Step-by-Step: Basic Windows Deployment" Link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd349348%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
after creating aotounattend.xml file, I went to step2: building reference installation. however, recieving the below error message:
"windows could not set a partition active on disk 0. The target disk, partition, or volume does not support the specified operation. The error occurred while applying the unattend asnwer file's <DiskConfiguration> setting. Error code: 0X80300024"
it happened in the beginning of installation.
what's more, before that error, system still asked me to choose which languange in the installation and I also need to click install button to begin installation.
I believe that with answer file, windows 7 should start installation automatically. Am I right?
Here is my answer file:

Xfce4 not detecting other partitions[SOLVED]

I have installed arch linux with xfce4, wine, java, libreoffice, opera and some other packages. The system is working well. However, I am not able to solve following problem:
The file manager is not showing other partitions of the disk drive. I think they can be added in /etc/fstab file but is it possible for system to detect them and show them so that I can mount them if I need to (as I have seen in other desktop environments like gnome on ubuntu and kde on slackware)?
I have tried to check the arch wiki (which helped a lot while installing all of the above) but not able to find solution. Please guide me in the right direction. I am really impressed by Arch linux and all the experts must have worked very hard to produce this fine distribution.

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4
It worked well. I can now access all partitions.
However, if I open thunar directly, I can see all partitions on the left sided pane. Here, I have to click to mount the partitions. This mounts but gives a message that I do not have permission to open this partition. Then I have to give command 'sudo thunar' . This instance of thunar does not show any partitions on the left sided pane but if I can open the /media folder and access all mounted partitions. Why does 'sudo thunar' does not show any partitions on left sided pane?

Resume: Could not stat the resume device file After Update

Peace!
I -Syu and rebooted to this error:
resume:
Could not stat the resume device file '/dev/disk/by-label/hda1'
Please type in the full path name to try again
or press Enter to boot the system:
Figuring it must be something weird happening to the suspend procedure, I wanted to skip it and boot normally. So I pressed Enter... to no avail.
Waiting for devices to settle .... done.
Root device ' /dev/disk/by-label/hda2' doesn't exist, attempting to create it.
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/disk/by-label/hda2'
ERROR: Unable to create/detect root device '/dev/disk/by-label/hda2'
Dropping to a recovery shell... type 'exit to reboot
NOTE: klibc contains no 'ls' binary, use 'echo *' instead
If the device '/dev/disk/by-label/hda2' gets created while you are here,
try adding 'rootdelay=8' or higher to the kernel command-line
ramfs$
Now, I'm starting to think its not just due to the suspend procedure and maybe something more. Afterall, I did not suspend, I rebooted. I remember updating the kernel, klibc and perhaps udev.
I wanted to try adding the rootdelay thing but the grub menu wouldn't show up.
Sobs..
I really need to research on failsafe fallback procedures... some kind of ultimate undo feature.

bought photoshop elements 11 last year for windows and using it in my desktop. The desktop is crashed now and not usable. So I bought iMac now. Is it possible to trade over or change the licence into iMac version for a small fee. If not , can I partition the hard drive of iMac and install windows and also photoshop elements? which is the best alternative ? why?

A Photoshop Elements license is good for both Mac and Windows so it should be just a matter of downloading the Mac version and using your current serial number to activate it.

Error could not allocate requested partition

Dear All,
we have recently got new Cisco UCS B200 M series blade servers and I am trying to install Centos 6.5 minimul version
I am able to boot configure the network card but when the wizard reaches the HDD partioning menu and I try to create a partition it gives a error message
Could not allocate requested partition... Unable to allocate requested partition
I tried the other options in the wizard for disk partioning as show in the meno but the error
there is only one 300 GB hdd on the servers
Is there a additional driver required and if so how from where I download it and install it
Apprecite your kind help and reply
regards
simon

The message is pretty clear that data file cannot grow because either you have put restriction on it or disk on which data file resides is full. Now you would have to find why disk is getting full. Autogrowth is one thing you must look at make sure autogrowth
is not in percentage look at default trace to guage value for autogrowth.
Are you doing ONLINE index rebuild it does have history of increasing database size due to fact that it involves versioning

Delete global stats, leave partition level only in 10.2.0.3 .

Hi,
there is 10.2.0.3 4 node rac datawarehouse , most queries are with predicate related to partition key .
So there is a lot of partition prunning involved .
Currently data load is done via exchange partition and then only that partition stats is calculated.
We dont got global stats (global_stats = NO in dba_tables) .
Is that right way to deal with statistics in 10.2.0.3 ?
I know that 10.2.0.4 brings us copy stats solution, but what with 10.2.0.3 ?
How to deal with statistics update , related to exchanged partition .
As far as I know there is no way to incrementaly update global statistics, so granuality => partition seems
the only way .
If I got that correctly, Oracle calculates global statistics from partition level statistics if there is no 'true' global stats calculated .
The only issue I know is related to NDV estimation, but I think we can life with that.
Please advice .
Regards.
GregG

You really should collect both partition and global stats. If a query spans more than 1 partition then global stats are generally used. Partition stats are used when there is only a single partition access.
There is no way in 10g to get incremental global stats. That was introduced in 11g. Global stats are collected by a table scan, they are not aggregated on 10g, only 11g with incremental enabled.
However, there was a new granularity introduced in 10g called APPROX_GLOBAL AND PARTITION. This is part of patch 6526370.
I'd recommend that you either gather global or use the APPROX_GLOBAL AND PARTITION, but it is best to have some global stats.

Windows 7 not starting when partition is finished.

I'm using a Macbook pro 15-inch 2011 using OSX yosemite trying to partition windows 7 ( 64-bit ). Whenever I try to partition my hardrive via book camp assistant and the partition part is successful but windows will not start when my mac restarts. I'm using an external cd drive which works. Its reading the disk but it windows simply won't start and I'll be stuck looking at a blank screen with a type symbol on a black screen similar to what you will find in any windows os. Please help.

Is this what you have - MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) - Technical Specifications?
This machine has
Storage
500GB or 750GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive; optional 750GB 5400-rpm hard drive, 500GB 7200-rpm hard drive, or 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB solid-state drive6
8x slot-loading SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Maximum write: 8x DVD-R, DVD+R; 4x DVD-R DL (double layer), DVD+R DL (double layer), DVD-RW, DVD+RW; 24x CD-R; 10x CD-RW
Maximum read: 8x DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-ROM; 6x DVD-ROM (double layer DVD-9), DVD-R DL (double layer), DVD+R DL (double layer), DVD-RW, DVD+RW; 24x CD
You cannot use an external Optical drive. If it is non-functional, you will have to fix it or replace it. This is because BCA sets the boot to be from the internal Optical drive physical address based on your Mac's Model Identifier. This is true for all Macs which have a built-in Optical drive.

Encrypted btrfs array, systemd not waiting for partitions [workaround]

Hi,
I have a non-root btrfs filesystem spannig over two encrypted partitions:
/etc/crypttab:
graid1 /dev/sdc3 /etc/crypto/graid1 timeout=15
graid2 /dev/sdb2 /etc/crypto/graid2 timeout=15
/etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/graid1 /mnt/raid btrfs defaults,device=/dev/mapper/graid1,device=/dev/mapper/graid2 0 0
When booting I get
A start job is running for dev-mapper-graid2.device (10s / no limit)
Adding a nofail option to fstab makes the system bootable again but obviously the raid filesystem is not mounted. A mount -a in an interactive root shell mounts the filesystem just fine.
My first guess was that systemd is ignorant to (among other things) the fact that all btrfs partitions must be present when mouning a btrfs array, not just the first one and it tries to "optimise" the boot process by starting the mount as soon as the first device is up via crypttab systemd automagick (systemd-crypto or whatever that unit parsing crypttab is called). Since debugging of systemd is black magick (no errors, warnings, fails or anything useful yielded from two-hour debugging using the wiki and extensive ddg'ing) I went the trial-and-error way.
I found out that systemd somewhat "virtualises" the fstab to it's units, namely mount units, so I tried to gently hint it that it should really wait for the cryptsetup.target to finish so that all partitions are ready before it tries to mount the array:
/etc/systemd/system/mnt-raid.mount:
[Unit]
Description=/mnt/raid
Wants=cryptsetup.target
After=cryptsetup.target
AssertPathExists=/dev/mapper/graid1 // I was hoping these would force the unit to FAIL
AssertPathExists=/dev/mapper/graid2 // in order for it to be at least a little debuggable. Guess what.
[Mount]
What=/dev/mapper/graid1
Where=/mnt/raid
Type=btrfs
Options=defaults,relatime,compress=lzo,device=/dev/mapper/graid1,device=/dev/mapper/graid2
Along with this unit I also commented out the line in fstab since it took precedence* every time even though the systemd documentation specifically says otherwise: If a mount point is configured in both /etc/fstab and a unit file that is stored below /usr, the former will take precedence. If the unit file is stored below /etc, it will take precedence. This means: native unit files take precedence over traditional configuration files, but this is superseded by the rule that configuration in /etc will always take precedence over configuration in /usr.
*) I figured that much by trial-and-error approach, having the mount unit already present and listed in systemctl list-unit-files but removing the nofail option from fstab resulted in above mentioned "a start job is running" red line of death.
After bootup systemctl list-units says:
dev-mapper-graid1.device loaded inactive dead start dev-mapper-graid1.device
mnt-raid.mount loaded inactive dead start /mnt/raid
(these lines were not present when booting without the unit file).
Since the unit did not "fail" and there are no logs in journalctl -u mnt-raid.mount and running SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemctl start mnt-raid.mount yields only unseful:
Calling manager for StartUnit on mnt-raid.mount, replace

... and hangs indefinitely, I'm really running out of ideas. I did not find any information on how to debug a dead unit since it's apparently not considered an errorneous state.
I'm stuck. I don't know what to do next except for making workarounds like manually mounting the filesystem via some kind of (now defunct - why?) /etc/rc.local mechanism. How do I find out what's happening when systemd starts the mount unit? How do I get the output from the commands it runs (like mount and possibly others)? I have no idea whether the custom mount unit of mine works and the problem is elsewhere or doesn't, or ... whatever.
(off-topic: exactly how does systemd "optimise" anything? Ever since Arch moved to systemd my boot time tripled, all troubles got way more frustrating and 4 out of 5 of them were due to some systemd "goodie". What happened to KISS? systemd sure is Stupid but I kinda miss the Simple part...)

Thanks! The Arch bug isn't directly related to my problem but the comment in systemd's bugreport was, well, "helpful", if you can call it that.
UUID in fstab indeed works but I have only vague idea why and from Lennart's style of commentary I have a really bad feeling. Last time I had this feeling was a couple of years ago when I needed to solve a problem with Windows and contacted Microsoft support. They also used this language style and words like "this is intended, this is considered to be like this, you need to" and similar but no explanation why is it this way and why is it deviating from what is expected behaviour from user's point of view.

Printer connected to Airport Express only works on OSX Partition, not Windows 7 Partition

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro, 13 inch with 2.9ghz processor and 8GB RAM that has a Boot Camp partition on it running Windows 7 Professional. I have had an Airport Express base station that I purchased in 2013, and have a printer connected to it, a HP Laserjet 1102w which is plugged into the Airport. When I am on the OSX partition, the wireless printing works perfectly, however, on the Windows partition, it will not 'find' the printer under a list of available printers. This is annoying as I primarily use Windows and have to restart my computer every time I need to print something. Is there any way to fix this?

You might want to take a look at Printopia to see if it will do what you want. There is a free trial, so you will know for sure before you buy.
The upside with Printopia is that printing from the iPhone will work just as if you had an AirPrint printer.
The downside with Printopia is that you must have a Mac running on the network to be able to print.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
I have no interest in Printopia other than that as a customer.

When I installed Windows 7 with bootcamp, bootcamp was not on my partition

I got windows 7, I have done this before and after installing you normally get the bootcamp assistant on your windows partition so that you can do drivers and such, I didnt get bootcamp on the partition and now I'm lost...
If anyone knows what I did wrong please aid me,
I do not have a Mac OSX snowleopard installation CD because it is a bad CD that doesn't work
If anyone knows how to get bootcamp on the paritions Id greatly appreciate it,
Iv already tried to reinstall in and it didnt work either,
Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
first of: the BootCamp Assistant is a part of OSX and not on your WIndows partition.
The OSX DVD (either the one that came with your Mac or a retail-purchased one) is the only legal source of the BootCamp Drivers and the BootCamp Control Panel.
The updates Apple provides on their download site are updates-only and not suitable for a clean installation.
So, if your OSX DVD is bad (scratched or the like) get a new one from Apple or buy a retail Snow Leopard DVD for about 29 USD.
Regards
Stefan
