Ora-011157 cannot identify but fixed but i do know how and whats the reason
There is a development going on in our clients place.
Strange thing happened and fixed today.Let me explain but i have fixed it
When we used sqlloader to load files from .csv i faced the above eror
or-011157 cannot identify ./temp01.dbf.
when i looked into the dba_data_files the temp01.dbf was not there.
so i decide to create a temp tablespace with temp01.dbf but got error
cannot add datafile as /temp01.dbf is aprt of datafiel.
I think our users dropped physically but i am not sure.
then i decided to offline the temp01.dbf
again i created the temp tablespace with name temp02.dbf
the the temp tablespace was created and sqlloader was working .
what was wrong
thanks
Hi,
tempfiles are not visible in dba_dat_files but in dba_temp_files

if i open passbook on iphone 5, it always say cannot connect to itunes, any fix from apple tech support? and whats the reason for this problem? why do we have to figure it out and not even apple can give answer??
actually i found out how to fix it
1 sign out of apple account
2 close down passbook app
3 change year to 2013
4 reopen passbook and sign in at the button with your apple ID
5 change the time to auto update and it should work from now on.

HT5361 maybe this is stupid, but i really don't know how to change the picture on the mail
I have been trying and I cant find where to change that picture anywhere
if one of you guys could help me I would be gratefullIt's the picture set for your user in the Users & Groups system preference for your user account.
Click the image and you can change it if you wish. But it just appears on your own computer. It's not sent with email messages, so it's not something you really need to worry about unless you just don't like seeing that particular picture.

My ipod touch has a passcode on i forgot it and told me to connect to itunes but i still don't know how?

Plug the sync cable into the device and the computer. Not really that difficult.
To remove the passcode, do as the User's Guide says, restore the device. -
I need a fix from HP which outlined how to remove the registry entries which were stopping recognition of the cd/dvd reader but then itunes cannot find the reader.
Thanks for pointing that out, it was not apparent on the day i used them and wrote the How-To. The links have been replaced with the SID# (Solution ID #) and the title given for the Article.

Hi,
i have a primary database and standby database (11.2.0.1.0) running in ASM with different diskgroup names. I applied an incremental backup on standby database to resolve archive log gap and generated a controlfile for standby in primary database and restored the controlfile in standby database.But when i started the MRP process its not starting and thows error in alert log ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file.

Then I created a disk group:
CREATE DISKGROUP STORE EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY DISK '/dev/asm210';
Then I created a new tablespace:
CREATE TABLESPACE store DATAFILE '+STORE';
I did all this operations from NODE1.
What is happening now is that everytime I try to read something from new diskgroup FROM NODE2 I get the ORA-01157:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 13 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 13: '+STORE/evodb/datafile/store.256.719232707
No problem to read from NODE1.
The simple query on dba_data_file work from NODE1 and fails from NODE2 with the ORA-01157.
I found this on the alert log:
<msg time='2010-05-18T10:06:41.084+00:00' org_id='oracle' comp_id='rdbms'

Any suggestion about how to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance!
SamuelI didn't understand what do you mean with thread...
But I think you found the problem
Initialization files of both ASM instance are: SPFILE='/dev/spfileASM'
that SPFILE is (common for both):
+ASM2.__oracle_base='/u01/app/oracle'#ORACLE_BASE set from environment
+ASM2.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA'
+ASM1.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA','STORE'#Manual Mount
*.asm_diskstring='/dev/asm*'
*.cluster_database=true
*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
+ASM1.instance_number=1
+ASM2.instance_number=2
*.instance_type='asm'
*.large_pool_size=12M
+ASM1.local_listener='LISTENER_ASM'
+AC
Then I executed another query:
From ASM1
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
+ASM1
SQL> select name, state from v$asm_diskgroup;
NAME STATE
ARCHIVELOG MOUNTED
DATA MOUNTED
ONLINELOG MOUNTED
STORE MOUNTED
SQL>
From ASM2
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
+ASM2
SQL> select name, state from v$asm_diskgroup;
NAME STATE
ARCHIVELOG MOUNTED
DATA MOUNTED
ONLINELOG MOUNTED
STORE DISMOUNTED
SQL>
Than the question is:
how can I mount the disk group STORE also on ASM2?
I think the problems is into the spfile lines:
+ASM2.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA'
+ASM1.asm_diskgroups='ONLINELOG','ARCHIVELOG','DATA','STORE'
How can I change the +ASM2.asm_diskgroups value?
Thanks -
ASM diskgroups unmounting, getting ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data fil
All,
We've recently purchased a RAMSAN device for better throughput. I created the initial diskgroup with the following syntax:
CREATE DISKGROUP EMTPRD0X_SSD01 NORMAL REDUNDANCY
FAILGROUP RS1 DISK '/dev/rdsk_ramsan_primary' NAME ssd_prim
FAILGROUP RS2 DISK '/dev/rdsk_ramsan_backup' NAME ssd_bkup;
and then created a temporary tablespace on top of that diskgroup:
create temporary tablespace temp04 tempfile '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g, '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g, '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g, '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g, '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01' size 25g;
Everything seemed fine at first and then end users started seeing the following errors in the alert log:
SUCCESS: diskgroup EMTPRD0X_SSD01 was mounted
SUCCESS: diskgroup EMTPRD0X_SSD01 was dismounted
SUCCESS: diskgroup EMTPRD0X_SSD01 was mounted
SUCCESS: diskgroup EMTPRD0X_SSD01 was dismounted

ORA-01110: data file 3009: '+EMTPRD0X_SSD01/emtprd0x/tempfile/temp04.256.732210281'
After talking with Oracle support I was told that the only workaround for diskgroups unmounting themselves is to put a control file/redo log/dummy tablespace inside of that diskgroup and continually write/read from it.
Does that make sense?
They pointed me to note 603204.1 - Why FRA Diskgroup Gets Mounted/Dismounted.
The system is a 3 node Oracle 10.2.0.4 rac running on ASM Solaris x86 64bit.
Any ideas?

I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?
Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your phone). -
i have a problem with mail. the spelling and grammer check box before sending the messege is no longer there. I did everything but cannot get it back. is ther anyone who knows how to get the box with spelling and grammer checks before sending the mail.
Also the mail is acting very funny by not getting the rules work in a proper method. Is ther a software to repair mail.i did both of them, but still the while sending the mail the diolog box is not showing up and also the spelling and grammer does not do the spelling check.
This problem just started for about 3 to 4 days now. earlier it was working normally. -
Java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 7 - see DB
I am deploying my application components on Oracle RAC database, when i install my app component i will run a script which creates a user and tablespace on bot rac-nodes(node1 and node2)
as database is clustered, the user are created on 2 nodes and tablespace is stored in a shared location for two rac nodes
i am able to successfully run my script on rac-node1 and and installed my component and when i started installing the app component on node2 getting error

ORA-06512: at line 1
"dbadmin_01.dbf is the custom tablespace which created by me"
i a mgetting error while installing the app component on rac-node2You should not create database files outside of the ASM.
I'm not sure you can move the datafile, I would export the data from the tablespace (if there is data you need there), delete the tablespace and recreate it in the ASM, then import the data back.
If you want to move the datafile, you can try using RMAN (from node1).
First connect to the database with sqlplus and execute:
alter tablespace <tbs_name> offline;Then start RMAN: rman target /
BACKUP AS COPY DATAFILE '<file>' FORMAT '+<ASM_DG>';Then in sqlplus, execute:
alter tablespace <tbs_name> online;I'm not sure it will work, and I hope I got the commands right because I can't check it right now.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent
Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
