Paranoid over a bad link

Hello, I recently clicked a bad link and I'm kind of paranoid about it. My iPhone is not jailbroken and I've read about no instance of malware of virus on non-jailbroken iPhones but I kind of just want confirmation in regards to my own situation.
I was using the twitter application and noticed some random person replied to one of my tweets with a tinyurl link. I know better than to click a bad link, but for whatever reason I wasn't fully thinking and just went to it. Immediately after I realized what I did and backed out within about 2 seconds. On my computer I used tinyurl link preview to find out where the link went and this was the URL "http://td8zuoqyukxy0k3ztkulxtbbtf:[email protected]
1.35.26:[email protected]/?&Ihtjxqs8sdh=Lfb
8guklbal&Lfsvwb72b"
I noticed the person posted similar tinyurl links to other twitter users. Could clicking this link have done anything to my iPhone?

Nope.

What is the best way to submit a Concurrent Request over a DB Link?

Hi,
We have a requirement to submit a Concurrent Request over a DB Link. What is the best way to do this?
What I've done so far is I've created a function in the EBS instance that executes FND_GLOBAl.APPS_INITIALIZE and submits the Concurrent Request. I then call this function remotely from our NON-EBS database. It seems to work fine but I found out from metalink article id 466800.1 that this is not recommended.
Why are Concurrent Programs Calling FND_GLOBAL.APPS_INITIALIZE Using DBLinks Failing? [ID 466800.1]

Can anyone suggest a better approach?

Insert, update and delete trigger over multiple Database Links

Hello guys,
first of all I'll explain my environment.
I've got a Master DB and n Slave Databases. Insert, update and delete is only possible on the master DB (in my opinion this was the best way to avoid Data-inconsistencies due to locking problems) and should be passed to slave databases with a trigger. All Slave Databases are attached with DBLinks. And, additional to this things, I'd like to create a job that merges the Master DB into all Slave DB's every x minutes to restore consistency if any Error (eg Network crash) occurs.
What I want to do now, is to iterate over all DB-Links in my trigger, and issue the insert/update/delete for all attached databases.
This is possible with the command "execute immediate", but requires me to create textual strings with textually coded field values for the above mentioned commands.
What I would like to know now, is, if there are any better ways to provide these functions. Important to me is, that all DB-Links are read dynamically from a table and that I don't have to do unnecessary string generations, and maybe affect the performance.
I'm thankful for every Idea.
Thank you in advance,
best regards
Christoph

Well, I've been using mysql for a long time, yes, but I thought that this approach would be the best for my requirements.
Materialized View's don't work for me, because I need real-time updates of the Slaves.
So, sorry for asking that general, but what would be the best technology for the following problem:
I've got n globally spread Systems. Each of it can update records in the Database. The easies way would be to provide one central DB, but that doesn't work for me, because when the WAN Connection fails, the System isn't available any longer. So I need to provide core information locally at every System (connected via LAN).
Very important to me is, that Data remain consistent. That means, that it must not be that 2 systems update the same record on 2 different databases at the same time.
I hope you understand what I'd need.
Thank you very much for all your replies.
best regards
Christoph
PS: I forgot to mention that the Databases won't be very large, just about 20k records, and about 10 queriees per second during peak times and there's just the need to sync 1 Table.

How to test issue with accessing tables over a DB link?

Hey all,
Using 3.1.2 on XE, I have a little app. The database schema for this app only contains views to the actual tables, which happen to reside over a database link in a 10.1.0.5.0 DB.
I ran across an issue where a filter I made on a form refused to work (see [this ApEx thread| http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3178959] ). I verified that the issue only happens when the view points to a table across a DB link by recreating the table in the local DB and pointing the view to it. When I do this, the filter works fine. When I change the view back to use the remote table, it fails. And it only fails in the filter -- every other report and every other tool accessing the remote table via the view works fine.
Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? For kicks, I also tried using a 10.2.0.3.0 DB for the remote link, but with the same results.
TIA,
Rich

I searched metalink for your issue. This may be a bug in 3.1 which will be fixed in 4.0. Please see Doc ID 740581.1 Database Link Tables Do NoT Show Up In Table Drop Down List In Apex. There is a workaround mentioned in the document.
I'm not sure why I never thought of searching MetaLink, but thanks for the pointer! It doesn't match my circumstances, however. The Bug smells like a view not being queried in the APEX development tool itself -- i.e. the IDE's coding needs changing, not necessarily those apps created with the IDE.
I'm working on getting you access to my hosted app...

Wb_rt_api_exec over a database link

When I call wb_rt_api_exec over a database link I receive:
ORA-20001: Task not found - Please check the Task Type, Name and Location are correct.
ORA-06512: at "OWB_10_2_0_1_31.WB_RT_API_EXEC", line 704.
When I run the command on the other database it works.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Joe

We had the same error when starting a package with WB_RT_API_EXEC.RUN_TASK from JBoss Middleware. It ran fine when started directly from SQLDeveloper, but threw the error when started from JBoss. Adding the pragma solved the problem, we also had to put a commt; at the end of the procedure.

Portfolios, bad links & splash screens

(using acrobat 9 pro, XP, firefox) A bad internal link (page, document or folder) within a portfolio often results in the splash screen "For the best experience update your Acrobat Reader..." or words to that effect. I need to prevent this and provide for one or all of the following alternatives when hitting a bad link:
1. redirect to another page (without a splash screen, of course);
2. do nothing.
(better yet, if it can inform me by email of the bad-link and its location along with the above alternatives)
In any case, I do not wish to show the built in splash screen either during portfolio editing or when viewed online. Entirely unacceptable. Any thoughts/methods to remove this annoyance?
(sorry if this should be posted to another forum. please inform me if there is a better place to ask this type of ?) - thank you.

It is obviously a bug. But if there is an internal bad link, the problem is with the document. Acrobat/Reader is just not handling the corrupted pdf file gracefully. The best you can do is ask Adobe to fix the problem:

EEM -automatic shut down or switch over of WAN link in OSPF when packet drop increase

Hi,
Need help..
can any one help me how can EEM help for automatic shut down or switch over of WAN link in OSPF when packet drop increase a predefined level.
I have a set up different branches connected together...OSPF is the routing protocol and need to communicate with two branches via hub locations.
need to shut or switch some percent of traffic from primary to back up when packet drop in the link.

I am not sure EEM can do what you want.
Another option could be to use SLA tacking/monitoring. But you will fall back to the new route when you lose some percentage of pings, you can't switch only part of the traffic.
I hope it helps.

Bad link for "Earth Crisis"

After doing a search for earth crisis, the top two results are:
Steel Pulse Reggae
Earth Crisis Alternative
Clicking Earth Crisis brings up all of the cd's by Steel Pulse, as search results, while clicking steel pulse brings up their CDs. Bad Link??? Any word on why this seems to be mix matched?

I'm still having a problem. I've tried using both IE and Firefox and they both fail. Once my S/N is accepted there is a really quick message on the window that states something like - "if the download doesn't start click here" but the window either is too small to get to the link and/or it goes by too fast. Once this message goes away the "bad link" message pops up.
The exact link for this message is http://ws.palm.com/mypalm/MyPalmGenericUser/null and the text is "we're sorry. sorry, page not found. You may have selected an outdated link or mis-typed the URL. Please double-check and try again later.

Calling a Procedure and Function over a db link

I am experiencing some errors with the following and would greatly appreciate the advice of some experts here.
My use-case is to insert some records into a table via a database link. The records to be inserted will be queried from an identical table in the local data dictionary. Everything works, but occasionally I will get a unique constraint violation if I try to insert a duplicate record so I wrote a simple function to check for the scenario. My issue is that I can run my procedure using the db link and I can run my function using the db link, but I can't use them both together without getting errors.
My test case just uses the standard emp table:
create or replace procedure test_insert(p_instance varchar2)
IS
l_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
    l_sql := 'insert into EMP@'||p_instance||' (EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, SAL, DEPTNO) (Select EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, SAL, DEPTNO from EMP)';
execute immediate l_sql;
END;
BEGIN
test_insert('myLink');
END;
This works fine and the insert occurs without any issues.
If I run the same procedure a second time I get:
00001. 00000 - "unique constraint (%s.%s) violated" which is what I expect since EMPNO has a unique constraint. So far so good.
Now I create a function to test whether the record exists:
create or replace function record_exists(p_empno IN NUMBER, p_instance IN varchar2) return number
IS
l_sql varchar2(4000);
l_count number;
BEGIN
l_sql := 'select count(*) from EMP@'||p_instance||' where empno = '||p_empno;
execute immediate l_sql into l_count;
IF
l_count > 0
THEN return 1;
ELSE
return 0;
END IF;
END;
I test this as follows:
select record_exists(8020, 'myLink') from dual;
RECORD_EXISTS(8020,'myLink')
                                          1
That works ok, so now I will add that function to my procedure:
create or replace procedure test_insert(p_instance varchar2)
IS
l_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
    l_sql := 'insert into EMP@'||p_instance||' (EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, SAL, DEPTNO) (Select EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, SAL, DEPTNO from EMP WHERE record_exists( EMPNO, '''||p_instance||''') = 0)';
execute immediate l_sql;
END;
I test this as follows:
BEGIN
test_insert('myLink');
END;
Result is:
Error report:
ORA-02069: global_names parameter must be set to TRUE for this operation
ORA-06512: at "FUSION.TEST_INSERT", line 6
ORA-06512: at line 2
02069. 00000 - "global_names parameter must be set to TRUE for this operation"
*Cause:    A remote mapping of the statement is required but cannot be achieved
           because global_names should be set to TRUE for it to be achieved
*Action:   Issue alter session set global_names = true if possible
I don't know why I am getting this. The function works, the procedure works, but when I combine them I get an error. If I set the global names parameter to true and then rerun this I get:
02085. 00000 - "database link %s connects to %s"
*Cause:    a database link connected to a database with a different name.
           The connection is rejected.
*Action:   create a database link with the same name as the database it
           connects to, or set global_names=false.
Any advice is much appreciated. I don't understand why I can run the procedure and the function each separately over the db link but they don't work together.
thank you,
john

The proper procedure depends on what how you define failure and what it should mean - error back to caller, log and continue, just continue. Constraints are created to ensure invalid data does not get into a table. Generally they provide the most efficient mechanism for checking for invalid data, and return useful exceptions which the caller can handle. You are also doubling the work load of the uniqueness check by adding in your own check.
In general I'd say use Exceptions, they are your friend
