Oracle AS Mid-Tire Files Deleted

We have Oracle AS 10.1.3.2 installed on Intel x-86-64 Solaris OS. It is running fine until Wednesday where Apache, OPMN and some of the J2EE files got deleted from the file system. The System log shows that there is no rm command issued to delete these files.
Any help where to start with is really appreciated knowing that the backup is restored after the incident and the logs of the time files got deleted are lost.

I was reading and heard about the sun Solaris rm race condition, is there any possibility that the file system was almost full and the application tried to reduce the size and that condition happened although the system is having the latest patch from sun for this issue!
By the way there is one cronjob to delete the temporary logs and it is executing something like:
rm $ORACLE_HOME/some path/temp/*

Oracle binary and control files

Hi All,
I want know whether the oracle binary and control files are they related in anyway.
I have my physical files on a SAN storage and my oracle binary files on a local disk.
In case if I delete my oracle binaries and restore it from a backup, will I be able to start my database without any issues.
Since all my oracle datafiles,controlfiles and redofiles are located in SAN storage.

Oracle binaries and control files are related in some way because Oracle version is recorded in control files:
oerr ora 201
00201, 00000, "control file version %s incompatible with ORACLE version %s"
// *Cause: The control file was created by incompatible software.
// *Action: Either restart with a compatible software release or use
// CREATE CONTROLFILE to create a new control file that is
// compatible with this release.When restoring Oracle binaries on UNIX you should take care about setuid bits on oracle executable to avoid local connection issues by non oracle Unix accounts.

Reasons File.Delete returning false

Hi,
I always assumed that if file.delete did not delete a file, it would raise an exception - however, today I have found out otherwise.
What are some of the reasons why File.delete would return false (without throwing an exception). I've haven't seen the results of a chmod (which I am waiting on, but I have been assured they are set correctly - besides, I can delete files on the server directory through an Explorer on my Client PC.
Thanks,
Red.

Thanks,
It actually turned about to be an Oracle based setting (in ora.init) which was causing the problem.
Of your answers -
1. I believe would return a permission exception.
2. It would think would raise an acess exception
3. Should return false
4. Would likely raise an exception
Although I could be wrong...
Thanks again,
Red

Select statement from a join file deletes the primary records with MS Expl.

Hello,
is reality,
Select statement from a join file deletes the primary records with MS Explorer 6, Firefox not, this with a normal data provider or with a normal "select..." statement.
This is very strange, I should have a.a.s.p. a solution or workaround
Thanks, Franco.

Please see the following excerpt from the online documentation.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/ldr_modes.htm#SUTIL1332
Enabled Constraints
During a direct path load, the constraints that remain enabled are as follows:
NOT NULL
UNIQUE
PRIMARY KEY (unique-constraints on not-null columns)
NOT NULL constraints are checked at column array build time. Any row that violates the NOT NULL constraint is rejected.
Even though UNIQUE constraints remain enabled during direct path loads, any rows that violate those constraints are loaded anyway (this is different than in conventional path in which such rows would be rejected). When indexes are rebuilt at the end of the direct path load, UNIQUE constraints are verified and if a violation is detected, then the index will be left in an Index Unusable state. See "Indexes Left in an Unusable State".

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

File.delete() and File.deleteOnExit() doesn't work consistently..

I am seeing some odd behavior with trying to delete files that were opened. Usually just doing new File("file.txt").delete() would work. However, in this case, I have created an input stream to the file, read it in, saved it to another location (copied it), and now I am trying to delete it.
The odd thing is, in my simple application, the user can work with one file at a time, but I move "processed" files to a lower pane in a swing app. When they exit it, it then archives all the files in that lower pane. Usually every file but the last one opened deletes. However, I have seen odd behavior where by some files don't delete, sometimes all of them wont delete. I tried the deleteOnExit() call which to me should be done by the JVM after it has released all objects such that they don't matter and the JVM ignores any object refs and directly makes a call (through JNI perhaps) to the underlying OS to delete the file. This doesn't work either.
I am at a loss as to why sometimes some files delete, and other times they don't. In my processing code, I always close the input stream and set its variable to null. So I am not sure how it is possible a reference could still be held to the object representing the file on disk.

File.delete() not working properly

Hi Forum!!
I am trying with the below code :
File file = new file("path");
try{
if(file.exists())
System.+gc+();
file.delete();
System.+out+.println("Control in delete trx file after deletion"+ file.exists());
}catch(SecurityException se){
String msg= "Delete trx file if 3gttz file created : IO Problems";
Log.+error+(msg, se);
}file.exists() returns false But I when I check file, it still exhists with content 0 bytes .
Is there a way to remove the entire file from the directory rather than deleting only the
contents ? Need not to tell I did my initial search to solve the problem.
Thanks

Very buggy.

It appears to me that network file access is buggy in Maverick.
In my case I have a USB Drive attached to airport extreme (new model) and when I open folders on that drive they all appear empty. If I right click and I select get info after a few minutes! I get a list of the content.
It makes impossible navigate a directory tree.
File access has been trashed in Maverick.

Error while using Oracle Table as source file :- ODQ for ODI

Hi All,
I am getting some errors while working on ODQ with Oracle Tables as source file.
If I am trying with text files (*.txt) as source and output it works fine.
Please let me know how we can connect to an oracle table which is my source file.
In the exported project -> “settings” folder
In the file named eN_transfmr_pXX.stx
For
/CATEGORY/INPUT/PARAMETER/INPUT_SETTINGS/ARGUMENTS/EN
TRY/DATA_FILE_NAME=
What I need to give? (URL – source file)
I tried with
1. jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx.xxx.x.xx:1521:ORCL
2. jdbc:oracle:thin:UserName/Password@// xxx.xxx.x.xx:1521:ORCL
i am not sure , is there any thing missing ???
(Note: for text file I am giving “D:\Sourcefolder\customer.txt”)
If I am running the batch file directly from CMD Prompt it’s displaying the error message
“Cannot open file”
If I am connecting with ODI it’s displaying the error
com.sunopsis.dwg.function.SnpsFunctionBaseException: OS command returned 3503. …………………….
Thanks in advance…
Rathish A M

Hi Ratish,
ODQ supports files as inputs not Oracle tables, what you should do is:
- define an ODQ process that takes a file as an input.
- create an ODI process that dumps your Oracle table into a file that will be used by ODQ. (interface or OdiSqlUnload step)
- run the ODQ process in ODI (in a package)
- create an ODI interface that will load your ODQ output file into a DB.
You can profile Oracle tables directly using Oracle Data Profiling.
Thanks,
Julien

Locating Oracle Forms Error Messages File to Load into Table

I would like to create a procedure to suppress and replace Form errors and messages via ON-ERROR and ON-MESSAGE triggers.
Is there a file that I can load the ERROR Messages from using SQLLDR?
I have loaded the Oracle error file, $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg/oraus.msg as identified by Tom Kyte in the following link,
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:13189517973890228983::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:558822941373
but it did not contain Forms Errors Messages such as:
FRM-40106: No navigable items in destination block.
FRM-40202: Field must be entered
FRM-40401: No changes to save
FRM-40405: No changes to apply
etc.
Any help in getting these error messages in a table, other than typing or copy/paste from Forms online help would be greatly appreciated.

Java.io.File.delete worked in 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 & 1.4, but not in 5.0

I have a logging utility I wrote originally in Java 1.0. A nightly housekeeping task runs which creates a ZIP file for the previous days log, then deletes the .log file. If I run this software with Java 5.0, the File.delete fails and the .LOG file remains on the disk. No exceptions are thrown. delete just returns false.
Any ideas?

to find a bug this basic! Each day I switch to a new log file, leaving the previous days file. I was never closing the old PrintStream... Jees... How embarrassing.

Logs for File Deletion?

I have a situation where I don't want to recover a file... I want to see how it was deleted.
Is there any way to review file deletions via Apple log files or any other method? My research so far says no... but perhaps someone is craftier than I've proven to be.

An unfortunate circumstance to be sure. Out of curiosity is there any particular reason you can't use ClamXAV rather than NAV?
I suppose that if NAV has a log and nothing relevant is in the log, then you're at a loss to even know if NAV is responsible for the folder's mysterious disappearance. Maybe you have technically savvy cockroaches in the building that come out at night to play? An informational age version of Archie and Mehitabel?
This experience may be an impetus to install software that keeps track of what's installed or removed from a computer. Doesn't help much now but it would be useful in the future.
Oh, one thing comes to mind - file recovery software:

How to make JDS confirm file deletion?

I use the bash shell when logged in over SSH and I always set the following alias just in case I do something stupid:
alias rm="rm -i"Is there a similar setting for JDS that I can tell it to confirm file delete whenever I try to delete a file (i.e. popup a standard "Are you sure?" dialog box)?
Thanks!

By default JDS file browser "deletes" files to the trash can - a la windoze Recycle bin 8-( -
so it doesn't feel the need to double check as you can always reclaim the file from there.
Emptying the trash includes an "are you sure" which can be configured from the folders settings pane:
Launch->Preferences->Desktop Preferences->Folders and pick the "Behaviour" tab
If you mean you want the double check made in a terminal or console displayed within JDS, as opposed to using the file browser, then you need to place a suitable command in the configuration for the shell you're using e.g. .profile or .cshrc etc.
Regards,
Paul
