Odd situation: indexes working normally but related preferences are missing

Hi,
i was wondering if anyone has seen this before:
I have a couple of instances, one for development and one for production (Oracle XE).
In the dev instance i can query view CTX_USER_PREFERENCES and i see all the preferences i defined that are being used as parameters for the context indexes i defined.
In the production instance, installed with EXP/IMP, there is no trace of such preferences, however context queries are working normally. Also, if i generate the DDL for these indexes i can see that the missing preferences are mentioned, however if i try to specify one in a new index, it tells me that the preference does not exist.
I tried to see if querying CTX_PREFERENCES from SYS could make a difference, but it doesn't.
I am puzzled...

Hi,
it is normal behaviour if you use exp/imp, see note 468599.1 on Oracle Support. The index will continue to work,but a change will lead to errors (missing preference).
So the preferences need to be exported by hand, or use ctx_report.create_index_script to create a script for those indexes.

  • My iphone 3gs was working normally but now won't turn on

    Yesterday my iphone was working normally but this morning it won' t turn on.

    Wow, that's crazy! I'm so sorry to hear. I actually had requested
    several times to have my insurance cancelled because it never covered any
    of the issues I've had in the past. When I amended my plan a few months ago
    they must have reactivated it. Nowhere on my digital bill was the insurance
    listed so I had no idea I was even paying for it. I'd normally be livid
    but, it actually worked in my favor.
    I would for sure check into your legal options. For now I suggest getting a
    cheap refurbished phone until you are due for an upgrade. Don't commit to
    their payment plan that you will be paying well after you are qualify for
    an upgrade. If I thought any of the other cell phone carriers weren't just
    as bad in some way or another I would switch but, I honestly don't know
    anyone who's not getting screwed in some way. This is definitely some next
    level bull, though. Now I know why no one from Verizon has commented in
    on this thread.

  • Since upgrading my Macbook pro with Yosemite, I have problem with my Xerox Work Centre 3045 - the printer works normally but it does not recognise the scanner, can you help with this?

    Since upgrading my Mac book pro with Yosemite, I have problems with my Xerox Work Centre 3045 printer. The printer works normally but it does not recognise scanner, I can not scan anything. Can you help?

    Open Disk Utility and select your hard drive, then Repair Permissions, it will probably return a very large number of errors, primarily printer and library errors, so run it a second time.  Then restart the MacBook Pro.  If it still will not scan, try using Image Capture from Finder > Applications and see if that will work.  If not, contact Xerox about updated drivers.

  • "Install completed successfully", but many files are missing.  (J2SE)

    I downloaded the 80MB J2SE + netbeans package today, and when I try to install it, everything goes fine. Installer says it was successful, but MANY files are missing (including tha main netbeans file which the icon on my desktop links to). Here's my install log:

    "Installing J2SDK..."
    "Finished Installing J2SDK..."
    I have had nothing but problems with java so far and I am about ready to consider it a mediocre and unpredictable programming language that I can do without. Please help as i am quickly losing patience, especially on 56k when i have to download non-functional 80mb files. Anyways, this problem is happening on winxp home ed. thanks

    . I did it on HSD cable
    this time and again the file sizes match. but, when i
    go to a command prompt, and type java or javac, they
    are unrecognized commands.You need to set up your PATH environment variable to include the path of the java.exe and javac.exe files. For the current command prompt, typing in:
    set PATH=%PATH%;C:\j2skd1.4.2\bin
    Would do the trick. Change the directory, if you've installation is different. Then java and javac should be recognised.
    and when i try to compile
    an applet in netbeans that i wrote before and works
    fine with an online compiler, it gives the error:
    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
    Exception in thread "main" Netbeans is treating your applet as an application. You should tell it it is an applet. I'm not sure how to do it, sorry. Best thing would be to use NetBeans to compile, but load the applet in an external browser.

  • Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet thos albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop but none of the others. What's happening?

    Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
    I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
    I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

    Okay so I asked someone from apple and they said that the software update icon is gone but its functions have been merged with the app store icon on the settings menu. Crisis averted haha!

  • I am using Adobe Photshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.

    I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.. How do I get them back?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    The date & Time can be displayed by going to the View menu and checking Details - also File Names if you want them displayed.
    The Album information is saved within the catalog so it sounds as though you didn't do a catalog backup on the old computer and a catalog restore on the new computer which is the recommended way of transferring elements data. Did you just copy the photos over?

  • Preferences are missing for Time Machine,how can I fix this?

    Preferences are missing from Time Machine,how can I fix this?

    Please don't SHOUT!
    We're all users here and you'll get more help if you give us some coherrent information.
    Firstly, do you have an external Hard Drive connected to use for your Time Machine backup?
    Secondly "stacks" is not a programme; it's one method of presenting folder icons in the dock, and is accessed from the 'view options' choice which appears if you click on the folder. Right-clicking the folder will go straight to the options menu.

        Hello pootieq, iCloud is an awesome feature for backing up your phone info. Have you checked your iCloud settings to ensure the Backup option for contacts is enabled http://vz.to/1E1kigx? You can also check the iCloud page via browser to review your backed up phone content at www.apple.com/icloud.

  • I am having a DNS problem with my computer. My laptop connects to the internet and my skype works normally but when i try to surf the web it says "DNS Look up failed".

    MY PROBLEM
    I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
    This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
    Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
    WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
    I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
    I have rebooted router many times, nothing
    I have changed my home router, nothing
    I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
    Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
    I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
    i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
    WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • Firefox 4 was working normally but when I updated to 5 it does not load when I select ANY firefox icon from ANY menu?

    But when I load a second browser (like Chrome or Explorer) it will pop up two or three windows like they have loaded but do not show under open programs or on my desktop, this only happens with firefox and I've already uninstalled and reinstalled.
    I am running Windows 7 and have had no problems with firefox till now. Both my other browsers work normally. Though my tool bar in firefox has also disappeared and been stating it needs to be reinstalled

    The next step I would recommend is to do some troubleshooting(Safe Mode,Problematic Extensions etc) -
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20plugins
    Just to make sure you can get started in Firefox Safe Mode - Hold the Shift key down as you double click on the Firefox icon, ignore the page that opens and Continue. Firefox isn't the only thing that has been updated and new conflicts and culprits can emerge.
    I would also recommend a search of your computer to make sure no residue of "Conduit" remains.

  • Messages app no longer works; plists or chat.db are missing

    The reason this happened is that well... I sent a really really really long message and it crashed my messages app. So I figured I would try to delete the chat.db file in /Library/Messages but... there was no file there. Then I checked for the plist files in /Library/Preferences/Apple and the plists for messages were all missing. This is the only way I am aware of to solve the problem but these files are clearly gone! I figured maybe they were hidden for some reason so I used a terminal command to show all hidden files, which seemed to work but the files in question were still missing. Am I missing something? Is there another way to fix messages without these files? Should I find replacements for them?
    NOTE:
    I have also just tried looking in ~/Library/Containers/Data/Library/Messages/Archive but I don't even have a Containers folder in Library...

    I think you are probably looking in your system library rather than the user library.
    Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you aren't sure of the difference, I'm not sure you should be playing around in there without specific instruction.

  • I have updated my website, and uploaded via FTP, but some images are missing.  I have deleted them in i

    I have published a website with iWeb on MobileMe quite successfully.  I purchased a second domain name, and republished the same site on GoDaddy before trying to point my MobileMe website name to the GoDaddy server. I was unable to upload several pictures to the second site, and posted my dilemma here.  It was suggested that I try using Cyberduck to publish via FTP, which I did.  I was still missing the same images. The error message says that there was a communications error with the FTP server and to try again later.  I have been able to upload several more new images to the second domain name just by using iWeb's publish feature. 
    I want to point my MobileMe website name, www.melissaveres.com to GoDaddy, which is now hosting www.mveres-engraver.com but it will only show the site as it is currently published, with several missing pictures.  I have tried to delete the photos in iWeb, bring them back in, and republish but with the same results.  I have contacted GoDaddy support, who can only tell me there is no file information for those open (missing) pictures, they have heard of this happening before, but had no information on how or if it was resolved.  Anyone know how to get these pictures up before I move from MobileMe? 
    Melissa

    Bring up the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for you site and check to see what files are missing and where they belong.  The URL for the missing files will tell  you what folder they should be in.
    Then publish you website to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser.  Check to verify all images and present and the site works as you want.  Then you can upload the missing files or folder containing the missing files or the eintire site folder to your GoDaddy account with Cyberduck.
