hi,

Check for synonyms named DBMS_JAVA and DBMS_JAVA_TEST. If there is a synonym by either of these names, but there is not a corresponding DBMS_JAVA or DBMS_JAVA_TEST package, drop the synonym and rerun the export.

Oracle 9i export problem

Hi,
I am working in a company domain.
I have the Oracle 9i client installed on my laptop which connects to the Oracel database on a different server in the company domain.
I am using this on the command line on the laptop
exp pcl/pcbdev file=(student.dmp) tables=(STUDENT,STUDENT1,STUDENT2)
and the error i get is
ERROR>EXP-00056: ORACLE error 12560 encountered
ERROR>ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
ERROR>EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully
ExitValue: 3
On my laptop (client machine), I have
TNSNAMES.ORA and SQLNET.ORA on this path C:\oracle\ora90\network\ADMIN
But i dont have LISTENER.ORA. Should i have that. Could this be the problem. All suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks

In TNSNAMES.ORA I have
x049.NGCO.COM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = lclntd35)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = x049)
So I did this
exp pcl/[email protected] file=(student.dmp) tables=(student,student1,student2)
Now the initial error is gone but it gives me this. Tells me that there are no tables, when I can see the tables using sqlplus. what cd be the issue. is it something to do with priviliges.

Could u help with oracle 8i export problem

hi
i'm facing a problem in
oracle engine which preventing them from execute the export command (full database export ) since it
always terminated abnormally and returns the following error:
EXP-0008 : Oracle error 6553
ORA-06553 PLS-561
the export terminated when it's start exporting synonyms
what can i do
thanks

Really the errors does not point to any solution but It seems you have problems with the views in the data dictionary that works to export the synonyms.
I recommend you to get connection as sys and run this:
<ORACLE_HOME>/rdbms/admin/catexp.sql

How i can create export.bat alternative for linux plateform (redhat 4.7) 'exp' in oracle linux is equivalent to 'exp.exe' in windows +(but for both you should normally be using datadump expdp)+
userid is best placed in a .par file for security reasons. .... having password on command line is not good.
How i can creat dump..zip file on linux redhat4.7zip dump unzipedfile
man zip tells you more.
How I can access linux folder /oradisk/backup from windows operting system.samba, ftp, sftp ...
How i can access linux drives on windows operting system.
samba, ftp, sftp....
In general for occasional use a client such as coreftp is useful (check licensing); filezilla is also possible.
Setting up the linux to share folder using samba is perhaps a longer term solution but requires more expertise to set up and requires managment. Poor setups could compromise security.
Could also be done via apache web server, again one step away from compromised security.

Oracle 10g forms problem

hi
can any body help me?
i have installed oracle developer 10g with oracle 8i database
when i run any form including the test.fmx
it always ask to install JInitiator although it has been installed (appears in the control panel and in c:\program file\oracle folder)
another problem appears after completing the installtion of JInitiator
the browser views the HTML tags of the form not execute it
so does any body have any idea???

From the Windows Start menu, choose Run, type regedit, and click OK.
Expand the registry nodes HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ORACLE.
Make a backup copy of this key by right-clicking it and selecting Export from the context menu.
Select one of the HOME nodes beneath the ORACLE node (the one for Developer Suite). Ensure that you have opened the correct node by verifying that the key FORMS90_PATH exists in that node.
From the Registry Editor menu, select Edit > New > String Value. Type in the name FORMS90_HIDE_OBR_PARAMS.
Double-click FORMS90_HIDE_OBR_PARAMS and in the Value data field enter false, then click OK.
Close the registry editor.
Now when you run a form from Forms Builder, it should show parameters, including userid, in the URL, but it should run fine.
15. Set the path for Forms Builder to locate icons:
a) Double-click the UI_ICON key to open it for editing.
b) For the value data, append the path to the .gif file that you will use for the
button icon, which is the \icons subdirectory of your lab directory. Separate this
path from the remainder of the string with a semicolon; for example:
;e:\labs\lab\icons, then click OK.

CS4 Audio Export Problem

Hi
I'm fairly new to CS4 and have picked up an audio export problem, more than likely with a setting of sorts. For some reason when I export to MPEG2 -DVD via the Media Encoder, the video portion is fine as well as any audio that has been placed and edited on tracks audio 1 and 2 in PP. However, if there is additional audio placed on tracks 3 or 4 for example (say a music MP3 overlay) then this does not come out ... only audio placed on tracks 1 and 2 in PP come out. I have checked the obvious like making sure the tracks aren't muted etc but to no avail. Also tried changing from PCM audio to MPEG ... Stereo to 5.1 mixdown ... nothing doing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Thanks Harm ... got SnagIt and with a few helpful YouTube tutorials ... am in business. Hunt and John, also thanks ... the other method equally as good. Now, I have attempted to attach my screen shot which should display my CS4 timeline and associated audio monitor windows above. By the way, this was for a wedding and as indicated, you will notice an MP3 lying in audio track 3 which as mentioned is my problem as it is not audible after render via Media Encoder. But remember, the moment I slip this MP3 up into audio track 1 or 2 above ... problem solved. I know there must be something small like a setting gone wrong or incorrect. As mentioned, any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks to you all.

Export Problem in LR 3.5

Hi folks,
I have been working with LR 2.7 for a while now and was happy with it.
PC - Win XP - LR3.5
Photo's stored on external hard disk (K:)
The RAW captures of a Nikon 3100 I recently won were not being recognized/imported by LR 2.7 and I installed the 3.5 version to see if it was any better. I would have to buy it anyway by the time I switch to Win7. In 3.5 the Raw files were imported, the settings of 2.7 were nicely taken over but now and I cannot export the files I have worked on to the K: drive of the external hard drive as I used to do with 2.7.
I get the message 'The folder could not be found' though it is set in the Export Window and I am looking at it in Win Explorer.
The original RAW captures are on the D: drive but that was always the case with 2.7 as well... I am doing it exactly as I used to with 2.7.
I tried with a photo from an older folder of my usual camera and everything works fine there.
The problem seems to be only with the Nikon files. Now I start wondering if there is something with raw format of this Nikon camera that is putting LR in a twist...
Anybody any ideas to help me out?
Thanks and grts
Nil

@ web-weaver:
Of course they go to a different folder and they also get different
titels/names once processed in LR. The originals are always RAW (NEF) and I
export them as jpg or tiff files depending on what more I will do to them.
@ ssprengel:
I get the message when I have renamed the file in the export window, set
the folder it has to go to and hit export.
In the 2.7 version I got it already when I tried to import.
As I said, this only happens with the Nikon (NEF) RAW files. With the
Olympus (ORF) RAW files I have no problem at all and had no problem in LR
2.7 either.
I cannot see anything wrong in the Export panel nor in Preferences.
Plug in is Metadata Wrangler and has been updated to the latest version >
no joy...
I tried import/export with jpg files and no problem there.
Yesss! Got it! What I had overlooked was a question mark next to the folder
in Library (sooo small). A rightclick and telling LR where it was solved
the problem. Strange, though, as it has never done this before... the main
folder and the path are still the same as the ones that work perfectly with
Olympus exports... just a different subfolder named Nikon and another named
Test... Also strange that if I started off with jpg, it was no problem
either...
Anyway, thanks a lot for shaking my senses for me

Oracle Report Printing problem

Dear All,

on network printer but it's print blank page however network printer is not my default printer when i set default printer
to this network printer its working fine.
and also its working when i set mode=character and network printer is not default printer but when i set mode=default or bitmap and notwork printer is not default then its print blank page.

i have made one oracle 6i reports. its is quite wide.when i run the report it shrink into too small font.
and i increse it font size it by pressing + button on menu bar it looks okay.
>
The + button only causes a zoom in on the screen. It is not affecting the actual layout.
>
but the problem is that when i take print out of it ,it's printout comes in its intial format(in small font) evenif i choose different type of paper size or different orientation . it's printout is coming in too small font.
pl tell me how to overcome this problem>
The report rendering engine tries to fit the report page into the physical page size. This results in shrinking of font size,etc.
To fix
a) reduce the content on the report to something reasonable for printing.(Std paper sizes and orientation)
b) change the page size selection. Of course, you will need a printer and paper of the size you set.
Cheers,

Oracle 9i Export dump date

I have an Oracle 9i export dump (export.dmp) file and I want to know when this export dump was taken (database snapshot-datetime stamp).
Is there any utility or process to extract this information from dump file.
Thanks

There probably is a utiltiy somewhere.
However, I just open the file using a simple text editor (I use vi) and look at the date on about the 10th line of the file. Just don't save ...

Is it possible to import an Oracle 10 (export .dmp file) into Oracle 9 db ?

hi Oracle Guru's
Is it possible to import a oracle 10 (export .dmp file) into an oracle 9 database ?
I tried & got the following error ...
IMP-00010 not a valid export file, header failed verificationperhaps their is a work-around ?
thanks

Hi
You can take export from a previous version and import to a later version. Having said that, there is still a workaround to do what you want.
On 9i server add a connect string for your 10g instance. Then use 9i export utility to export 10g data. That way your export will be compatible with 9i. You can then import the data in your 9i instance.
To create connect string you can either use Net Configuration Assistant or manually edit TNSNAMES.ORA file in your 9i server.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Guys,
I am still a bit lost though...
It may be simply a matter of me finding Oracle 8i so I can do what I need to do.
Where can I get Orcale 8i from? Does anybody have it? The oracle site only has a version back to 9.2 I queried with a employee from Oracle University here in Australia, and he suggested asking in the forums.
Just so you know what I'm trying to do:
Data Server:
Running Aix with Oracle 7.14... actually could be 7.41 - I'll check today.
This system will not be upgraded to any later version of Orcale, because systems are in place, and core systems at our other sites have to be the same. (my project is a local one)
Web Server:
Running XP profession with IIS and using ASP (active server pages)
Currently running Oracle 10g, and ASP code connects to the local database on this machine via an ODBC connection.
At the moment, I have scripts on the Aix server that dumps data from Oracle 7.x into a .csv file.
Then, I have scripts that copy those csv files to the XP server, and they are imported to the local Oracle 10g database.
To display this data on the website, I use ASP via the odbc connection to query the local database on the XP server.
As said in my previous post, there must be an easier way to do this.
I need a local database on the XP server too, and am thinking the best way is to downgrade to 8i.
Can anybody tell me where I can get 8i to try this out? I have been trying to reasearch this for a while now without luck. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks for those who have replied so far.

Export problems- it's renaming my MOVs to strange things and they're huge!

Hey guys,
strange fcp export problem. I have a 10 minute anim compressed fcp project, 1920x1080, 30fps on a top-of-the-range macbook pro with external terabyte HD. I did a test export a couple of days ago, because our deadline is really soon, and that all worked fine - a 10 minute quicktime, 100% anim codec, was 26GB. That was fine. I did another test clip, just a spinning bitmap for 10 mins, from AfterEffects with similar, succesful, results and file sizes.
Now, however, when I export, it comes out as 60GB, and FCP changes the filename to something which is the first half of the filename I chose, and a strange number for the second half which is different each time I try it. Something like "filena#CF342.mov", for example. This file seems to have video in it OK, but it's 3 times the size, and the data rate is much higher, too high to play back.
The only changes I've made since my successful test are replacing many of the low res previews with hi res versions, and adding 1 minute to the end. And I changed my QMaster setup, not sure if that's anything to do with it.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm getting pretty worried.....
thanks in advance....

Thanks for the quick reply! No, don't think that's the problem. The new render doesn't have an alpha channel - it's Animation 100% Millions (not Millions+), and I don't think that would add more than 25% to the file size anyway. It also wouldn't account for the strange renaming of filenames. And the increase in length is only 10%. The file size has tripled!
The final delivery format was going to be animation, 1920x280, because it's going to projected on a 30m wide cinema screen and live TV tomorrow night but our playback solution (while it handles the test files ok) can't handle the data rate of these strange new files: it's 800mb/s, which is pretty ridiculous.
The renaming of the files suggests (to me at least) some kind of bug/error, but it doesn't report any kinda error in either fcp or quicktime.
Plan B is to recompress the strange big file using h264 which gives an ok quality and is 10% of the size. Reason I'd like to do it animation is I need to do several versions with different gamma, so I need to do further processing on the rendered file after it's dumped from FCP.
Any thoughts? I'd like to get to the bottom of this.
one thought - I didn't tick "recompress all files" and some of the source DOES have alpha - would it be taking the alpha channel even though I didn't ask for it?

Export Problem Solved (new problem)
