Outlook database rebuild problem

In outlook mail a box came up saying to rebuild database which I did. I clicked done when finished. When I went to email I can now receive emails and reply to emails but I cannot start a new email without the prompt to rebuild coming up. Once this prompt comes up I have to rebuild again as the swirly thing prevents me from doing anything else, so I end up in a circular pattern and consequently can't use outlook.

There is a problem with the Outlook database. Your database could not be rebuilt. [-18000]

For home use, I recently changed from Windows PC to MacBook Air. I have an iPhone 4 which I synched without problem to the PC. Since I have used Outlook for years on Windows and trusted advisors assured me Microsoft Office on the Mac is the same as Microsoft Office on Windows, I decided to continue using Microsoft Office. Because I cannot get my Outlook calendar to sync reliably to iCal / iPhone and because I have found a small but meaningful number of features I use daily in Outlook Windows do not work on Outlook Mac, I have never been in so much pain!
The latest problem is Outlook does not complete startup. I get this error:
There is a problem with the Outlook database. To use the database, you must rebuild it using the Database Utility.
I run the utility but it never completes successfully.
Step 1 of 5: Scannning...
Step 2 of 5: Verifying...
Step 3 of 5: Copying records to new database...
Step 4 of 5: Recovering data...
Your database could not be rebuilt. [-18000]
I have found many articles about this problem but they all seem to assume that you can successfully start Outlook then you rebuild the database to fix data corruption in Outlook.
What if I Outlook never completes startup?

Here are the steps that solved the Outlook data corruption problem.

The question was: Your database could not be rebuilt
The key is to create a new Outlook Identity, remove the database file, then copy your data records into the new identity and use the Outlook database utility to rebuild the database.
It's a wonderful feeling to see Outlook start up successfully after a few days of downtime!

How do I stop Excel from trying to rebuild the Outlook database when I try to open a .xls file?

Using Office 2011. When I try to open a .xls or .docx file, Excel or Word wants to rebuild the Outlook database. I do not have Outlook installed.
The file will open if I dismiss the Outlook query popup, and double click on the same file I just tried to open.
Works fine, just irritating.

Open Mail, then open Preferences (command-comma), and on the "General" pane the top entry is "Default email reader." Choose Mail (6.3) from the box.
Now all mailto: links will open Mail by default. If you ever want to set another mail client as the default, choose it in that box.

IPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos. If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly. I have not updated to Yosemite. I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines.

iPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos. If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly and disappear. I have not updated to Yosemite - I am still running Mavericks on an iMac. I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines. I uploaded photos and movies three days ago and all was well. Then I used the migration assistant to copy from Time Machine to a new Macbook Air and noticed blank photos. I thought it was a problem with the Macbook Air, but then I went back to the iMac to check and they were all blank as well.

what does appear after the photo "flashes"?
Have you repaired permissions? If not backup your iPhoto library and option-command launch and repair permissions - then repair the database and if needed rebuild the database
If that does not do it down iPhoto Library Manager on the iMac and use the free trial's rebuild command to create a totally new library leaving the existing one alone
Once you have the iMac working correctly then connect the two systems together (or use an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and drag the iPhoto library form the iMac to the pictures folder of the MBA (rather than migration assistant)

Database termination Problem

Hi every body ..plz help me on this..
We are facing database termination problem in ECC6 production syste.
Database: Oracle 10.2, O/S: Windows 2003. Spam :27, SP level 13.
Error is:

Hi,
Have a look at below snote which actually speaks about the oracle error codes
Snote : 546006
within the Snote it says :-
" If you cannot access a database file (for instance a data file, control file or RedoLog) for whatever reason, an ORA-270xx appears. The actual cause comes from additional error messages (usually in the operating system) that occur on ORA-270xx. "
And as per your last update
" ORA-00206: error in writing (block 3, # blocks 1) of control file
ORA-00202: control file: 'D:\ORACLE\P02\ORIGLOGB\CNTRL\CNTRLP02.DBF' "
i think there is problem accessing the database control file. Hence you are facing the above problem.
I think if you recreate your control file i think, it should resolve the problem.
Hope it will be helpful to resolve your problem.

Immediate HELP in Tomcat 5 to Postgresql 7.4 database connectivity problem

Hi,
I failed to connect Tomcat 5.0.24 with Postgresql
7.4.2. The files created by me and the changes i had
made in the existing files are rates.jsp,
conversionDAO.java, web.xml and server.xml. The error
message on the top of the rest of it was "The value of
useBean class attribute converter.conversionDAO is
invalid". So far I found out that the coding for
database connectivity purpose in conversionDAO.java
cause the error. Another thing is Postgresql jdbc
driver is required to set in the CLASSPATH for the
java file to access the Postgresql database. I don't
know where should I put it in Tomcat for web
application. Anyway, I put it in
$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib according the book i
refered. I do the database connectivity coding refer
to the Tomcat Kick Start book from Sams Publishing.
Below are the coding involved, please show me the
mistake i had made. Thank you.

Hi Shriraj,
ensure that the installation path is correct. I only put /urs/sap/<SID> and you must put /usr/sap/<SID>/DV***/.
In my case with that the setup returns all in green.
I hope it helps you

SIMPLE Database Design Problem !

Mapping is a big problem for many complex applications.
So what happens if we put all the tables into one table called ENTITY?
I have more than 300 attributeTypes.And there will be lots of null values in the records of that single table as every entityType uses the same table.
Other than wasting space if I put a clustered index on my entityType coloumn in that table.What kind of performance penalties to I get?
Definition of the table
ENTITY
EntityID > uniqueidentifier
EntityType > Tells the entityTypeName
Name >
LastName >
CompanyName > 300 attributeTypes
OppurtunityPeriod >
PS:There is also another table called RELATION that points the relations between entities.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
check the coloumn with WHERE _entityType='PERSON'
as there is is clustered index on entityType...there
is NO performance decrease.
there is also a clustered index on RELATION table on
relationType
when we say WHERE _entityType ='PERSON' or
WHERE relationType='CONTACTMECHANISM'.
it scans the clustered index first.it acts like a
table as it is physically ordered.I was thinking in terms of using several conditions in the same select, such as
WHERE _entityType ='PERSON'
AND LastName LIKE 'A%' In your case you have to use at least two indices, and since your clustered index comes first ...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Have you ever thought of using constraints in your
modell? How would you realize those?
...in fact we did.We have arranged the generic object
model in an object database.The knowledge information
is held in the object database.So your relational database is used only as a "simple" storage, everything has go through your object database.
But the data schema is held in the RDBMS with code
generation that creates a schema to hold data.If you think that this approach makes sense, why not.
But in able to have a efficent mapping and a good
performance we have thought about building only one
table.The problem is we know we are losing some space
but the thing is harddisk is much cheaper than RAM
and CPU.So our trade off concerated on the storage
cost.But I still wonder if there is a point that I
have missed in terms performance?Just test your approach by using sufficiently data - only you know how many records you have to store in your modell.
PS: it is not wise effective using generic object
models also in object databases as CPU cost is a lot
when u are holding the data.I don't know if I'd have taken your approach - using two database systems to hold data and business logic.
PS2: RDBMS is a value based system where object
databases are identity based.we are trying to be in
the gray area of both worlds.Like I wrote: if your approach works and scales to the required size, why not? I would assume that you did a load test with your approach.
What I would question though is that your discussing a "SIMPLE Database Design" problem. I don't see anything simple in your approach when it comes to implementation.

Database connection problem when i try store the values in JTable

Hi Sir,
I have a database connection problem when i try to store the data's in a JTable.I think the problem is with in the database connection.I have used 3 vectors here.The database which i have used is

"Invalid Cursor State".I need to solve this problem.pls. do help me.
I will provide u with the code.

Thanx,
m.ananthu

The problem is ResultSet.next() is not called.
Try this and modify the table creation as you need.
ResultSetMetaData rsmd=rs.getMetaData();
int cols=rsmd.getColumnCount();
     while(rs.next()) {
          for(int i=1;i<=cols;i++)
                    col.addElement(rsmd.getColumnName(i));
                    rdata.addElement(rs.getString(i));
          rows.addElement(rdata);
Hope this helps

WLI 7.0 samples database setup problem

I have just installed WL Platform 7.0. I want to run the WLI samples and did the following:
1. Started "Integration Database Wizard" for WLI samples and performed "SwitchDB"
- provided valid database properties for oracle. Completed successfully - config.xml
for samples is updated.
2. Ran RunSamples script - Gives database connect problems and database is not created.
The user/pwd/machine name/SID are all correct.
I observed that as part of "RunSamples", it again invokes "SwitchDB" (command I see
is "switchdb oracle"). This resets the database properties in config.xml to the defaults
- so obviously this is causing the connection problem.
Pls let me know what is going wrong here?
Thanks

Garf,
You are correct in your analysis. When you run the 'RunSamples' script,
it will call switchdb and this causes the 'defaults' to be set in
config.xml. Running the wliconfig utility is the customer experience
BEA would like to have with regard to setting up the database. However,
the RunSamples script has not been updated to correctly reflect that the
customer would have already performed this step. When RunSamples calls
switchdb, it is getting the defaults from the following location:
<USER_DEFINED_DOMAIN>/dbInfo/<DATABASE>/setDBVars and setDBVarsExt files
So for example, if you accepted the default user directory and your
BEA_HOME is C:/bea and you were using the EAI Domain template calling
your domain eaidomain and your are using Oracle, you should update the
following files:
C:\bea\user_projects\eaidomain\dbInfo\oracle\setDBVars.cmd and
setDBVarsExt.cmd
Edit these files to reflect your DB connection properties.
When RunSamples calls switchdb, these properties will be used to update
the wliPool in config.xml. I hope this helps and sorry for the
inconvenience.
Cheers,
Chris

From memory (don't have access to cal 6.3 system at the moment) the directory that you run csdb in doesn't have the correct permissions to allow for the creation of a rebuilt_db directory.
I recommend creating a directory manually elsewhere, making sure the permissions are set to the owner:group used by calendar server (e.g. icsuser:icsgroup) and run the csdb command but specify the destination directory:
./csdb rebuild <calendar database directory> <destination directory>
e.g.
./csdb rebuild /var/opt/SUNWics5/csdb /tmp/rebuild_db/
If that doesn't help you may need to truss the command to see whether there was a failure in the creation of a directory/file or whatever.

Apple mail is using my outlook database

Hi: I'm just setting up a new Macbook running 10.5 and Apple Mail 7.3. This is a work computer and it has Microsoft Outlook for Mac 14.4.5 installed. When I type an e-mail address in mail, the autocompletes that are provided are all the e-mail addresses from my Outlook Address Book. I've tried this solution http://www.marco.org/2011/09/10/adding-to-apple-mail-autocomplete to try to establish my old auto-complete file, but Mail isn't recognizing that file. It's still accessing auto-completes from the Outlook database of work contacts. Any suggestions?

Remove the account and put it back again, use Internet Accounts (in System Preferences) to do this.

The process is also shown by the pmon command, check through operating system command
ps -aef |grep pmon
oracle 3235 2816 0 18:08:15 pts/3 0:00 grep pmon
oracle 22425 1 0 12:01:57 ? 0:08 ora_pmon_orcl
Please let me know what to do.

Error 18000 during outlook 2011 rebuild

After recently having the hard drive in my iMac replaced, I get an "Your database could not be rebuilt. [-Error 18000]" when I try to restore my applications from Time Machine. How do I get past this problem.

There are two different ways you can recover your data. The first way is basically following the instructions at http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/05/how-to-recover-your-data-when-rebuilding -restoring-and-upgrading-fails/, however, with the following modification.
Do NOT copy the folder “FOLDERS”, but copy “CATEGORIES” instead.
This will result in you being able to recover all of your data, but you would lose all you folder names and hierarchical structure. (Eg. I had 10 folders at the top of my hierarchy, with loads of subfolders inside subfolders inside subfolders etc… In total the number of folders I have is 558). When my data was recovered in this manner, I had 558 folders at the top level all named “Recovered Folder 1″, “Recovered Folder 2″, “Recovered Folder 3″, etc… Obviously, it would be a nightmare to try and rebuild that hierarchical structure again. In fact, in my case, it would almost be impossible. If you don’t share my problem of having to recover the folders named and organised and sorted, and you just need your messages back, then this first solution would be easier for you.
One thing to keep in mind though, before I start explaining the second recovery method, is that memory is the key to recovery. My database is 12.7GB and I had 120GB of free space on my hard drive, but that failed to recover. It even failed to rebuild a non-corrupted identity. And so I freed up some space and tried again with 200GB of free space on my hard drive, but that failed too. I freed up even more space and tried again with 310GB of free space on my hard drive, and that succeeded to build. (WIERD BUT VERY TRUE) I also did notice that during the rebuild, my computer was using about 6.8GB of RAM. So, I would recommend that you make sure you have at least 300GB of free space on your hard disk and at least 8GB of RAM installed. Otherwise, you would just be wasting your valuable time. By the way, these memory constraints apply to both of the recovery procedures; the one described above and the other one described below.
If you wish to rescue your folder structure, read the steps below very carefully and try to follow them precisely and hopefully you will be able to recover your data.
1. Make a duplicate copy of your data to work with and keep your original corrupted identity safe in case this method of recovery doesn’t work for you.
2. Use the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768 to completely remove all Microsoft Office from your system.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Install the original Office 2011 14.0.0 onto your computer, and make sure it is activated.
5. Open a blank document in Microsoft Word, and allow it to fully load up. Then quit Word.
6. Launch Microsoft Auto Update and upgrade Office to SP1 14.1.0. Make sure that you do not install any later updates than that.
7. Open a blank document in Microsoft Word, and allow it to fully load up. Then quit Word.
8. Manually download and intsall update 14.1.4 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28405.
9. Disconnect your computer from the Internet and do NOT reconnect it again until you have completed the recovery.
10. Open the Microsoft Database Utility, and delete all the existing identities. There should only be one. Your corrupted identity should not appear in there. DO NOT DELETE IT if it is there (you must have done something wrong….start over).
11. Now that there are no identities in the list, create a new blank identity. It will automatically be named “Identity 1″.
12. Quit the database utility.
13. In the duplicate of your corrupted identity (created in step 1), delete the database file. Then navigate to the “Data Records” folder and delete the “Database Headers” folder.
14. Now copy the “Database Headers” folder from “/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Indentity 1/Data Records” and paste it inside the “Data Records” folder of the duplicate of your corrupted identity. What you have done now, is copy a clean “Database Headers” folder that has database headers in version 14.1.4. What you intend to do here, is trick the database utility v14.1.4 to think that your SP2 identity conforms to its own version and will then attempt to rebuild it.
15. Delete “Identity 1″ from the location mentioned in the previous step (you won’t need it anymore) and then move the duplicate of your corrupted identity in its place.
16. Now launch the database utility, and you should only see that duplicate of your corrupted identity. Nothing else should be listed there. Now click Rebuild and keep your fingers crossed (that’s of course only if you have enough memory as explained earlier. Otherwise, it would just be a waste of your time because the rebuild will probable fail).
17. You should receive a message saying that your database was rebuilt successfully. Now, quit the database utility.
18. While you are still disconnected from the internet, start Microsoft Outlook. (and there you go, all your data back in front of your eyes….with all the folder structures maintained)……BUT HOLD ON, you’re not done yet.
19. Follow steps 1,2,3, and 4 from http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/05/how-to-move-your-data-to-a-new-identity/
20. Once you have quit Outlook in step 4 at that link in the previous step, start Microsoft AutoUpdate and install all available updates until you Office is updated to 14.2.4.
21. Now go back to http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/05/how-to-move-your-data-to-a-new-identity/ and skip step 5. Go to Step 6 and continue to the end of that document.
22. You should now have your Outlook looking exactly as it did the day your identity got corrupted, hopefully with no data lost at all.
GOOD LUCK!!
