Oracle troubleshooting when I have no info in the alert log
Hello everyone,
I'm running Oracle 10g on Solaris 10. I performed a restore yesterday, and my DB instance was running smoothly. This morning I discovered that Oracle died on me "silently", that is, nothing was recorded in the alert log - the last entry in the alert log was the end of the restore.
No Oracle processes were running anymore on the machine, trying to log in via sqlplus issued the expected
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
The instance is running again after rebooting the machine.
Can I find clues about the crash, as the alert log hasn't anything for me?
Thank you,
Adrian
Thank you all for your ideas.
I looked in the /var/adm/messages (there's also /var/log/sysmsg which might be of some help) and found out that the machine was rebooted. Apparently, the Oracle instance hasn't been started properly afterwards.
The alert log mentions (before the crash) that 'alter database open resetlogs' was performed successfully, and I ran some applications after restore that accessed the DB - the instance was indeed running.
There is no other alert log (my attempts to bring up the DB the next day are recorded in the same file).

Not clearable : 1 distinct types of ORA- errors have been found in the alert log.
( Correct me if I'm wrong.)
What could be the reason for the fact that the event "1 distinct types of ORA- errors have been found in the alert log." is not clearable?
Even if the problem is solved, the ORA- error will still be in the alert.log.
Therefore the event would eventually only disappear after 7 days.
Doesn't sound very logical to me.- The event page showing a warning event for "Generic Alert Log Error Status" metric,
- "Generic Alert Log Error Status" event is a statefull metric,
- On each evaluation of the metric defined as 'Statefull', the Cloud Control Agent recalculates the severity,
- This means, EM Agent scans the alert log for ORA errors, "Generic Alert Log Error Status" will return the number of ORA error found,
- Whenever the returned number is grater than the assigned thresholds of "Generic Alert Log Error Status", an alert is raised on EM console,
- On the next scan of alert log file, this alert will be cleared ONLY if the collected value is less than the assigned threshold,
- By checking your system, the warning threshold of "Generic Alert Log Error Status" is 0, so whenever a single ORA error is found in alert log, a warning event will be raised and you will not be able to clear it manually as this is a stateful metric.
There are three cases where this alert can be cleared:
1. The agent found 0 ORA errors in Alert log, then the alert will be cleared automatically
2. Manual clear: By disabling/enabling the metric
3. Manual clear and further not receiving similar alerts frequently: By assigning higher thresholds values
So, I suggest to disable the metric, then, enable it after some time as follows as follows:
- Go to the problematic database home page >> open the 'Oracle Database' drop-down menu >> 'Monitoring' >> 'Metric and Collection Settings',
- Choose 'All metrics' from the 'View' drop-down list >> search for the 'Generic Alert Log Error Status' metric,
- Click the pencil icon under 'Edit' column opposite to the above metric >> remove the Warning Threshold (make it empty) >> 'Continue' >> 'OK'.
- Wait for the next collection schedule in order for the warning events to be cleared, then, enable the metric again with the same steps (setting Warning Threshold=0).

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.
Saranbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,

I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button at the same time, while being plugged into the computer? What do I do?
Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

why does adobe premier elements render my video everytime i change something in it even when i have lots more of the video to edit? other editing software only seems to render at the start then lets you edit until your ready to save at the end. Constant rendering means its almost impossible to edit anything. Please help.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? It will not influence my answer but will give me information in case I need to get into version specifics to detail my answer further.
Timeline rendering is a preview matter. It does not fix anything, but it is your window of opportunity to catch of problem sooner than latter. If the Timeline rendering indicator displays orange (11 or higher) for the line above the Timeline content, that is the project telling you that you are not getting the best possible preview of the playback of that content in the Edit area monitor. And, every time you edit a file, you have altered the file from the time before. So, if you want to see the best possible for what you now have, you Timeline render. This is particularly helpful when you are dealing with titles, effects, transitions, and non native formats. You cannot turn off the Timeline render indicator system, at least none that I have ever found nor seen reported. You can do selective Timeline rendering by having the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar span only the Timeline segment that you want Timeline rendered.
Consequently, you either ignore the Timeline render indicator system, move on in the project, and take your chances in the outcome or you Timeline render to get your best possible preview if the Timeline render indicator is suggesting that you do so.
I am not approving or disapproving of this project feature, just commenting on the what is.
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you want to have your voice heard at Adobe, you might consider filing an Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Form.

Please consider.

Add On...it is also possible to do Timeline rendering in a project, save close the project, and reopen it to find your previously "green" lined content now "orange", indicating unrendered. Yet the preview files generated originally by Timeline rendering are still existing in their hard drive save location. That is another story for other time. -
Why do I have to download songs/albums onto my iphone when I have icloud and purchased the songs from itunes? I thought the purpose of purchasing from itunes when you have icloud is that you don't have to download each song/album that you want to hear. I get like 5-10 songs from the last two albums i have downloaded, but not the entire album.
Are you talking about iTunes Match? If so, you don't have to download entire albums, all you have to do is play the songs you want to hear.
If you're asking why you have to download the music at all rather than just playing it from iCloud, the music has to be stored locally on your device, either in permanent or cache memory, in order for your device to play it. -

you don't need a cc subscription to use the purchased copy.
download the installation file and use your serial number to activate when given the licensing option during installation. you should install 5.7 instead of installing 5.0 and updating.

i have iphoto previously installed. running but when i have synced my iphone4 the iphoto app. cant be launched anymore. a black screen with the hourglass running till it quits automatically. What should be the problem???
Try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home/() Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.

HT4623 my iPad 1 sometimes crashes by itself when I'm looking info on the net can someone helpme?
how can I stop my iPad to crash when I'm looking info on the web
Quit Safari like this. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
Then go to Settings > Safari > tap on Clear History and Clear Cookies and data.
Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
