Open previous PL database

Is it possible to open a database dating from a previous PL?
When trying to open a company after restoring it from an archive backup which was made when the system was on a previous PL, it is telling:
"In order to continue with the upgrade, the database you are updating requires a backup"
What kind of backup does that mean, and how?

Hi,
This states that you need to take the back up of the database before upgrading.
After restoring the database backup from a lower PL,when you open SAP it will prompt the message
"In order to continue with the upgrade, the database you are updating requires a backup",then you need to close sap b1 and take a back up of the current database.
And now when you open sap b1 it will automatically upgrade the PL.
Hope this is helpful.

Aperture doesn't want to start due to "an error in the opening of the database of my AP Library"

Hello,
I have a huge problem, I work a lot with Aperture and one day, without any previous crash, it then refused to start. When I click on the app icon an message comes right after the aplibrary loading to tell me that "an error in the opening of the database of my AP Library occurred", the label of the windows is a "Warning" But there is not anything I can do but click on "quit the programm" . I REALLY need Help ! Will I loose all my pictures ? What Will happen to my aplibrary if i uninstall Aperture ? Is there any hope ? Will my actual APlibrary work on a different Aperture ?
Thanks in advance !
I'm working on it on a MBPro

Hello leonie,
This is what I see, when I try to open up my aperture :
I can't do anything else but quit...
Is there a crashlog with the error panel?
I'm sorry I don't understand exactly what you mean by that...
For your questions, I did not install any new/other software recently, just uploaded some music or photos via different platforms, from the internet to my computer. But I did not had the time to import them in aperture. And I did not use any maintainance program in the last year ! I guess that the very big majority of my aperture photos are JPEG, and it might be that there is a few PNG but that's it... And my (38,8 GO) library is located only on my MBP. And I have the 3.4.3 version of aperture
Thanks a lot for your help !

Error while trying to open physical standby database - (DATA GUARD)

Hi Everyone,
I have problems in opening the database of the physical standby in read- write mode/ read only mode. I have a primary server which is running on 2 node RAC and the standby on a seperate single server being used as DR. I recently got this server and my aim was to isolate the standby server from primary server and perform few test. As it has never been tested even once.
Primary Database spec: (2 Node Rac on ASM)

Unable to open 11g R2 database now after trying an RMAN restore

Hi my database is not opening now.
What I was trying was to restore the database on my new server from latest database taken from my old live server and applying it on my new 11g DB (new server-database already created)
old server-11.1.0.7.0-windows 2003 server 32 bit
new server-11.2.0.3.0-windows 2008 64 bit server
The steps i have done which caused this , (After everything was working fine, i did these foll.steps and now all messed up):
The oracle database on this new server was already 11.2.3.0 -it was not upgrade, i directly installed 11.2.0.3.0 on it + applied latest patches etc.
I took RMAN backup from old server 11.1.0.7.0 oracle database.
Copied this backup to to the new server flash recovery area &every step of the restore was working fine -
in nomount mode, restored the control file from autobackup-fine
in mount mode, catalogued the files-fine (Backup from old live,copied to new live)
I restored&Recovered the database until the latest archivelogs.
Until the above steps-all worked fine like a normal recovery steps.
Then I gave "alter database open resetlogs" in RMAN prompt, it gave out error and from that point onwards I am unable to open the database now.
Unfortunately, couldnt grab full screenshot of the error in RMAN but the error basically said that bootstrap failed and i have to open the database with the upgrade option?
Please see in alert log as well

This is why you do backups both before and after doing other things.
So one way to do something like this:
Backup old db.
expdp old db.
Install new 11gR2, create database.
Back it up.
Turn off archivelog.
impdp
Turn on archivelog.
Back it up.
The general thought here is you would start over with the first new db backup if the imp didn't work, you turn off archiving to avoid generating lots of redo that would be for a recovery you would never do.
There is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI), best way depends on details, including volume of data and platform changes. expdp/impdp has an over the network option if disk space is limited and network is fast.
I usually allow for several tries when going to a new box, since the new box will require testing anyways.

Open an Access database from ASP on the Windows 2008 32-bit server

SQL query or view used internally by Discoverer Open Workbook from Database

Hi Experts,
I am involved in developing a web application wherein I have to display the 'All Workbooks' similiar functionality in the 'Open Workbook from Database' dialog box of Discoverer. Can anybody provide me with the background query or view that Discoverer uses to retrieve this data for workbook listing? Please let me know if my question is confusing and requires more details.
Thanks
Thomas

Hi,
If you just need the list of workbooks then you need to use the EUL_DOCUMENT table:
SELECT u.User_Name Owner_Name
*,Doc.Doc_Name Workbook_Name*
*,Doc.Doc_Updated_Date Last_Update_Date*
FROM Eul_Us.Eul5_Documents Doc
*,Eul_Us.Eul5_Eul_Users Own_Usr*
*,Fnd_User u*
WHERE Own_Usr.Eu_Id = Doc.Doc_Eu_Id AND
To_Char(u.User_Id(+)) = Substr(Own_Usr.Eu_Username
*,2*
*,10);*
If you want the exact same list then you need to do the above along with the sharing :
SELECT DISTINCT
case when instr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,'#')=0 then disco_docs.doc_created_by
when instr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,'#')>0 and instr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,'#',2)=0 then (select fu.user_name from fnd_user fu where fu.user_id=substr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,2,5))
else NULL
end "Workbook Owner/Creator",
disco_docs.doc_name "Workbook Name",
disco_docs.Doc_Updated_Date "Last Update Date",
case when instr(disco_users.eu_username,'#')=0 then disco_users.eu_username
when instr(disco_users.eu_username,'#')>0 and instr(disco_users.eu_username,'#',2)=0 then (select fu.user_name from fnd_user fu where fu.user_id=substr(disco_users.eu_username,2,5))
else (select resp.responsibility_name from fnd_responsibility_tl resp where resp.responsibility_id=substr(disco_users.eu_username,2,5))
end as "Shared Name / Responsibility"
FROM
eul_us.eul5_documents disco_docs,
eul_us.eul5_access_privs disco_shares,
eul_us.eul5_eul_users disco_users
WHERE
disco_docs.doc_id = disco_shares.gd_doc_id (+)
and disco_users.eu_username(+) NOT IN ('EUL5', 'PUBLIC')
AND disco_users.eu_id(+) = disco_shares.ap_eu_id;
* Change the EUL_US to your discoverer schema...
Then you will need to compare the current user with the sharing list or creator
Good luck

Problem in Open Workbook from Database dialogue

Hi,
at my customer we migrated to 'OracleBI Discoverer 10.1.2' and it works fine with one exception.
In the item 'View' of the 'Open Workbook from Database' dialogue there i am able to choose one of four values. If i move with the mouse over the wanted value, the value is cleared - but it is choosable. Is this a bug or how can i change that mystic behavior?
Regards,
Martin

i use the Java version 1.6.0_22.

Webclient does not open previous added versions of bqy documents

We are running IR/ workspace 9.3.1.3.0401 on weblogic.We have an odd behaviour in opening previous added versions of bqy documents.
case:
import a bqy document.
add another version of this document (make it obvious and simple only a dasboard with a "1" and "2" in a text label should be enough. for this test)
open the bqy as/ with IR webclient. (make sure this action opens the last added version.
till so far no problems
the open the previous version (File> Open > Document> (open as interactive reporting web client/ Version (choos the first or previous version) )
It does NOT open the previouws version but the last posted version.
strange is it?
I opened a case at Oracle for this.
(trying the same document with ihtml does not give a problem., it shows whichever version you ask for)

Oracle confirmed this is a bug.

Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown. I can open previous work but no new files. Any fixes?

Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown. I can open previous work but no new files. Any fixes?

All nee AI files are based on document profiles, which are actually plain AI files.
Print.ai is one of them. You may try and select a different profile to see if it's just the Print.ai
But it may of course be all of them that somehow got corrupt.
Could be that the files are corrupt or that Illustrator doesn't have access privileges.
The files are located in your user folder. Find the exact location in this article:
http://blogs.adobe.com/adobeillustrator/2009/05/startup_profiles_a_great_tool.html
In case the files are completely corrupt you may try and rebuild the preferences or even do a complete reinstall.

I have cloned the current database using Oracle EM Clone tool on a same WinXP system. Can I open these two database simultaneously on a same system? If can, How can Iogin to another database(cloned database)?

You should be able to start both databases if you did the cloning correctly.
EM use RMAN duplicate to clone database. It's basically created a AUXILIARY database and duplicate target database into it.
You must enter destination global name and instance name before proceed. What's instance name you entered?
set your ORACLE_SID to that instance name and login.

Final cut X-- how do you open previous projects?

i must be missing something really basic. How do you open previous projects in Final Cut X? When I try to open one it hangs on "loading (nameofproject) into time line.

You need to provide more information. Are you seeing it within the FCP interface properly when you go to show the Project Library? If so, I would click on it to select it and then open the Inspection window and click on Modify Event References and select proceed from there. I'm assuming you have not moved the project from it's proper folder....

Opening a Standby Database in Read-Only mode

Is there anyway to open a Standby database up to date as of a certain time? I'm currently using the 2 commands to get close to the time required.
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT;
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
Such as, similar to this? RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME '2012-01-25:15:00:00';
We're on 11.1.0.7, which I'm currently very unhappy with.
Thanks for any help, as my google-fu hasn't worked today.

Maybe
I did a quick test :
8:42 open the databases and start recovery
8:43 check status from primary
Shows sequence 75
and "TO STANDBY" for switchover status
Did log switches at 8:44, 8:45, and 8:46
8:50
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
SQL> RECOVER STANDBY DATABASE UNTIL TIME ' 2012-01-25:20:43:00';
Media recovery complete.
SQL>
8:52
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
Database altered.
Check status
TO STANDBY and sequence 78Still need to check alert logs and do another log switch. It checks out so the quick test works.
However the quick test is incomplete since there was no before and after data in the test and the time period was very short.
Andy may be right, but I would test, test test. ( if you do please let us know the results )
Thanks Andy!

Later
After sleeping on this I decided my first thought is probably correct. You cannot go back in time and still be in sync. While the test statement did not error or produce any alert log entries, it probably did nothing. Oracle is smart enough to know you cannot have your Cake and eat it too.

Can a full file path be used to open a sql database connection?

I have a requirement to open an unattached sql server database file with a given path. Can this be done?
This would be similar to opening a Jet database using the path as the Data Source. For example, the path might be "C:\MyFolder\MyDatabase.mdf". I need to put the path in the connection string and open the database. It would look
something like the following.
Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=C:\MyFlolder\MyDatabase.mdf;Itegrated Security=SSPI;

I don't think its possible with unattached file.
