ORA-00210: cannot open the specified control file

Hi all,
Initially we faced the following error:
ORA-00214: control file '+DBDG/dws/controlfile/current.256.638648487' version
75647 inconsistent with file '+FLASHDG/dws/controlfile/current.256.638648489'
version 75645
Then the following action:
RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;

  • ORA-00210: cannot open the specified controlfile

    Hi,
    We are trying to run a package remotly and while executing the package . we are getting ORA-00210: cannot open the specified controlfile. I did crosscheck the controlfile through v$controlfile parameter and the ctlfile shows there. I did also go thorugh with metalink, it says you need to chech weather some process has locked it, or the max number of open file limit of OS. I would appriciate, if you can describe both of the above options.

  • Mac Word 2008 - hyperlink message "Word cannot open the specified file"

    I'm using WordMac 2008 version 12.2.5 and after following detailed instructions on how to hyperlink chapters in a Table of Contents to their respective chapters in a book, I can only get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
    Any ideas what could be wrong?
    My OSX is 10.5.1.
    The instructions I followed are pasted below and are copied from the Smashwords Style Guide: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52
    START OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE:
    How to create a linked Table of Contents. Consider this feature in “beta.” My
    thanks to Smashwords author Cheryl Anne Gardner for sharing these tips below,
    which I have augmented based on my own experience adding a ToC to the Style
    Guide (woo hoo!).
    By adding a linked table of contents, you can help readers navigate your
    document. This is especially useful for non-fiction. Most fiction doesn’t
    need it. If you follow the instructions below, the ToC should work in your
    EPUB, MOBI and PDF files, but it will not work in our other formats.
    First, create your table of contents where you want it by typing it out. Make
    sure the text is normalized just like the rest of your Smashwords’ Word
    document. Example:
    Contents
    Chapter 1
    Chapter 2
    Chapter 3
    Chapter 4
    Etc.
    Next, we are going to create the BookMarks. In Word 2000, 2003 and 2007, the
    Booksmark function is under the Insert tab. Go through your document, and at
    each Chapter Start or Indexed item, you will highlight it and then select
    Insert: bookmark. Name your bookmark corresponding to the Chapter/Indexed
    item and then click add. It’s very important to use the first word of your
    heading you’re linking to, because later on, when you add the hyperlinks,
    Word displays the bookmark shortcuts in alphabetical order. With many
    bookmarks, I found many of my bookmarks weren’t labeled properly, so it was
    tough to link to the correct bookmark. If you want to link to a chapter named
    How to Publish Ebooks, I’d recommend naming your bookmark
    “HowToPublishEbooks” to make it easy to locate. If you instead name it,
    “publishebooks,” you’ll frazzle your brain and make mistakes.
    Repeat the process above for every Chapter Start as well as for other matter
    in the book like index, bibliography, epilogue, prologue, etc. I didn’t link
    to every section in the Style Guide, because otherwise the ToC would have
    been three pages long. This is your call.
    Next, return to your table of contents and highlight the word “Contents.”
    Click insert, bookmark, and label this last bookmark “Contents”. Formatting
    note: Bookmarks cannot have spaces or odd characters. If instead of
    “Contents” you called the label in the document Table of Contents, as I did,
    then when you insert the bookmark, name the bookmark “TableofContents,” one
    word, or “toc.”
    Next, add the hyperlinks to your Chapter Starts. In your table of contents,
    if Chapter 1 is called Chapter 1, then highlight Chapter 1 and then click
    insert Hyperlink. As you can see in the Style Guide, I tried to use more
    descriptive labels. In Word’s Hyperlink menu on the left hand side, select
    “Place in this document.” You will now see your bookmarks listed in the main
    window. Select Chapter1 bookmark (or whatever you labeled it) and then click
    ok. Do this procedure for every chapter and piece of matter in the table of
    contents.
    Final step. Now you can link back to the Table of contents. Move through your
    document to each indexed item or Chapter start and highlight it. Then click
    insert, hyperlink, and then select “Place in this document.” When the
    bookmarks are showing in the main window, select the bookmark labeled
    “Contents,” assuming that’s what you named your Table of Contents. Do this
    for each and every chapter and or indexed item.
    After you are done, all your links will be underlined. You will need to test
    and make sure you linked everything properly. In most Word versions, you just
    click on the hyperlink to test. In Word 2007, you may need to Ctrl-Click each
    hyperlink and make sure it takes you where you need to go in the document.
    Advice: Word has an automatic ToC generation feature under the reference tab.
    Do not use this. It uses automated headings and formatting to generate the
    ToC and this will un-normalize your text and cause font conversion issues in
    your Smashwords files.
    END OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE.
    I did all that as described but I still get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
    Could you help please?

    This question would be better addressed to...
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/help.mspx
    I think the operative phrase from that article is...
    *Consider this feature in “beta.”*

  • Error Happened at RFC Server Cannot Open the Job Batch File.

    We have BW 7.0  and Data services 12.1. We are scheduling a Infopackage in BW that triggers a job in Dataservices server.
    We had checked the connection between Dataservices source system in BW and RFC server on Dataservices side and these connections are good. on the 3rd party sellections tab in infopackage we specify the batch file name that we exported in Dataservices server. When we execute the infopackage we get the following error.
    Error Happened at RFC Server Cannot Open the Job Batch File.
    This error started occuring from yesterday and prior to that it was working fine. We are not understanding what changed in the system to cause this error.
    Can anyone suggest any solutions for the above issue.
    Thanks,
    Naveen.

    I'm not sure what the root cause would be here. Is the file still available ? Did file permissions change ? ...
    But I wanted to point your attention to the fact that in Data Services/Data Integrator XI 3.2 (=12.2) we significantly enhanced the integration with BW. In XI 3.2, the RFC server is now integrated into the Data Services Management Console (so no need to start as a seperate executable) and you can start jobs from BW by just specifting the job's name in the repo (no need anymore to export execution commands to .bat files). So if upgrading to XI 3.2 is an option, things should go much smoother.
    More details on the wiki  : http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Loading+BW
    Thanks,
    Ben.

    I had installed ADK to utilize the latest and greatest DISM tool. That broke WAIK and the boot.wim could not be found when updating the deployment shares. Thanks for the pointer...
    Paul Prindle MCP, A+
    That is because WAIK and ADK are unsupported as side-by-side installations.

  • I cannot open the old numbers file on my new ipad today

    Today i cannot open the old file, but i can create and open the new file. I try to shut down the ipad and reopen it, but it is the same. What should i do?

    You will find that it is the size of the photos which are the problem. Give it time - let the wheel churn!
    Other considerations -
    Try sending her some to see what happens.
    Get you wife to send a single photo to see what happens!
