Partition Manager is creating more than double number of partitions .

Dear Team,
I am facing a very weird scenario .
For one of my product , one of the section is the Partition Manager executing for the Tables . Now I am facing a problem and it is really getting difficult for me to get to the root cause and thus posting in the forum ...
I am having two Linux systems , in one of the system, installation of the product goes fine , and partition manager is doing the partition as intended .
In another Linux lab , ( with some extra application installed ) , the same product is failing to install , and the problem is Partition Manager is doing the partition more than double as compared to first Lab and because of this it ends up using all the space in the system .
My Concern is do we have any global setting for this Partition Manager in the Oracle Database , and because of this I am seeing the difference in this 2 labs ..I will be really thankful for any of the inputs and suggestion ...
With Very Best Regards,
Shail...

Hello Justin,
First of all thanks a lot for your patience ... :) , in looking into my problem ..
But I guess it is using Oracle partitioning Concept only...I dont think , my product is using the third party partition tool ( I will recheck this once to confirm )
What I understand is that , if for any table the number of partitions is almost thrice in one system as compared to other , then it will end up consuming more space for the table in the system where it is creating more number of partitions ...
I guess memory usage for any table also depends on the number of partitions ( Please do correct me if I am wrong here ) , if more number of partitions are there then more memory will be consumed , I guess..With Very Best Regards,
Shail

  • Creating more than one serial number for a material upon Goods Receipt

  • Library more than doubles in size when importing form iPhoto

    I imported my iPhoto Library into Aperture using the standard import setting, only to find that the size of the Aperture Library is about 90GB whereas the original iPhoto library was a mere 38GB. Is there anything I can do to keep the Aperture library at about the same size as my original iPhoto library? More than doubling in size is just too much!

    Hi Léonie, thanks again for the detailed advise! I checked both my iPhoto Library and my Aperture Library and they are almost idendical as to the number of photos they show (22.424 photos in iPhoto, 22.884 photos in Aperture - and that's due to some new photos I have imported into Aperture since I imported my iPhoto Library to Aperture). Also, when following your advise to disply photos sorted by date, I only find very few duplicates in my Aperture Library (probably just a few dozen).
    Searching for stray images, I only get 104 photos listed that seem to be not properly imported into iPhoto.
    What's strange, though, I kept the folder-structure that I had created for my photos before I even started using iPhoto and where I had always put copies of the photos that I had imported into iPhoto Library (call it paranoia or whatever, but I neve fully trusted iPhoto that it would hold all my valuable photos safe ...). So there I have originals of all my photos and this folder is a full 70GB of data - as opposed to the 38GB of my iPhoto Library which has almost the exact number of photos as my folder-structure does.
    So I essentially have the following:
    - iPhoto Library with 22.424 photos and 38GB
    - Aperture Library with 22.884 photos and 90GB
    - A folder-structure where I hold duplicates of all my photos outside of iPhoto and Aperture (and NO, I don not use iPhoto nor Aperture as referenced databases) with 22.512 objects and a total of 69,44GB of data.
    Anything else you could think of? I'm lost the more I dive into this ...

  • Can i create more than one db in a machine?

    can i use "create database" to create more than one db in a single machine?

    I understand what you're saying and it's sound advice. When you said crash I took it as meaning at the database level
    and not the server level. As I said before, one database crashing will not effect another on the same server. If the server
    crashes both databases will crash too. I think we both agree on that.
    then you will have more than one job in hand.... And to get things up-and-running, will take that much longer.....True, but there's other things to consider in the real world. For example one of our servers contains our development/test
    database and our production database. I hate to sound like management here(which I'm not) but why should we buy another
    server for 5-8 people to use for development/testing? The cost of a few developers not working for a while and DBA restoring
    the database in the rare case of a server crash is less expensive than buying a second server. Maybe if we had more
    developers for this system a second server would be justified. Another reason for not having a second server may be that some
    people can't afford a second server.
    So can you install more than one database on a server? Yes
    Is it better to have one database per server? Yes
    Is it always justified to have one database on a server? No

  • SAP F&R - Creating More Than One Ignore DIF

    Hello there,
    We're running F&R 5.1, we have one internal Ignore DIF in the system and we want to create another external Ignore DIF. But when we try to create the second Ignore DIF, the system error message shows:
    "There must be only one DIF type of I"
    There's no way to skip this message, so isn't it possible to create more than one Ignore DIF?
    Thanks,
    Yang

    Hello Yang,
    the system allows you to generate internal DIF occurences of DIF type Ignore from both internal and external system.
    Please consider that the Internal No. and External No. only refers to the way how to define the DIF occurrence ID. Internally means the system is creating it automatically. External means a user has to type it in.
    See also the customizing point about Number Ranges For DIF Occurrences (tcode /FRE/DIFNR).
    Kind regards, Rainer

  • NTLM Authentication : why is it not possible to create more than one NTLM realm ?

    Hello,
    I'm wondering why it is not possible to create more than one NTLM realm on a wsa.
    Can you explain exactly what is the blocking point ?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    Well, at this point (pre 7.5), there isn't an agent, the WSA is joined to the domain, just like a Windows box, it authenticates via that trust relationship.  From that point it is all based on how NT/Active Directory domains work.   As long as there is a trust between the domains, you can can auth users from as many domains as you like.
    There is an agent in the works.  The ADAgent will be released with 7.5.  The code is already available, it was released with the ASA ver 8.4, and it will be used to pass authentication info to the WSA.  At this point, current versions still require trust relationships between all of the domains touched.
    Taken from the setup guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ibf/setup_guide/ibf10_install.html#wp1054011
    Before you configure even a single domain controller machine using the
    adacfg dc create
    command, ensure that the AD Agent machine is first joined to a domain (for example, domain
    J
    ) that has a trust relationship with each and every domain (for example, domain
    D[i]
    ) that it will monitor for user authentications (through the domain controller machines that you will be configuring on the AD Agent machine).
    Depending on your Active Directory domain structure, the following scenarios are possible:
    1. Single Forest, Single Domain—There is only one domain, D[i] for all domain controller machines, which is one and the same as domain J. The AD Agent machine must first be joined to this single domain, and since no other domains are involved, there is no need to configure any trust relationship with any other domain.
    2. Single Forest, Multiple Domains—All the domains in a single forest already have an inherent two-way trust relationship with each other. Thus, the AD Agent must first be joined to one of the domains, J, in this forest, with this domain J not necessarily being identical to any of the domains D[i] corresponding to the domain controller machines. Because of the inherent trust relationship between domain J and each of the domains D[i], there is no need to explicitly configure any trust relationships.
    3. Multiple Forests, Multiple Domains—It is possible that domain J might belong to a forest that is different than the forest to which one or more of the domains D[i] corresponding to the domain controller machines belong. In this case, you must explicitly ensure that each of the domains D[i] has an effective trust relationship with domain J, in at least one of the following two ways:
    a. A two-way external trust relationship can be established between the two domains, D[i] and J
    b. A two-way forest trust relationship can be established between the the forest corresponding to domain D[i] and the forest corresponding to domain J

    I know it's Valentine's Day, but before you get your wife fixed up the first thing you need to do is recover the deleted albums for your own library.  See if the files are elsewhere on your hard drive, or in the Recycle Bin.  When you find them, get them back into your own library.  Now you are ready to help your wife.
    As noted above, you can have two libraries in one Windows user account via the Shift-Start approach, but if you both use your libraries regularly, that becomes annoying quickly.  It is better to set her up with her own Windows user account. She can have her own iTunes library there.
    Get a copy of your entire iTunes folder to start her off.  She can delete stuff she doesn't want without messing you up.

  • Can i create more than one instance for single database?

    HI
    anybody can tell me how to create more than one instance for single database(without using RAC)?
    thanks
    Kalanidhi

    Anandji,
    I sometimes think differently. I also think like what this person is asking..(although I have installed and administering 5 different RAC databases)
    The main doubt of mine is that we create multiple instances accessing the same storage area.
    Anyway the controlfiles of all instances will have the same information except the instance_names and instance id's.
    Hence I always think , why can't it be possible to to create another instance in the same system and point it to a controlfile which is copied from the other instance.
    Why can't the same files be shared between the two instances in a same system ?
    I know I am thinking a little bit confusing...
    Anyway I need to test that also...

For instance, I want the navigation on the website I'm building to have a different text link style than a link in some part of the body copy. I've been playing with Dreamweaver for a while and can't find any way to do this. If it's even possible to do this, I would really appreciate any help.

    Yes it is possible but as you have failed to provide a valid link to your site, I will tell you in general Terms:
    1) First create a class or an ID to to your Nav bar;
    2) Now style your navbar in such a way that these styles will only apply to your nav bar.  To do this, you start your style by doing something like this:
    ul#vavigation {.........}
    ul#navigation a {.........}
    ul#navigation a:hover {.........}
    ul#navigation li {.........}
    your html code might look like this:
    <ul id="navigation">
         <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
         etc etc .........................
    </ul>
