Password file creation ?

We can create a password file in windows using orapwd
how to create a password file in unix. Is it the same way?

Hey
Yes.
$ orapwd
Usage: orapwd file=<fname> password=<password> entries=<users> force=<y/n>
where
file - name of password file (mand),
password - password for SYS (mand),
entries - maximum number of distinct DBA and force - whether to overwrite existing file (opt),
OPERs (opt),
There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.

Perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier fails on control file creation

Hi Guys,
Platform is : Linux 5
DB: 11.1.0.7
R12.1.1
I have a temp file that had been removed at the OS level.. on the source And I want to updated the control file regarding this so that it does not record this file any more.
I am using rapid clone (EBS) to cone this source database unto the target but is failing on the target control file creation as it's trying to find the temp file that had been removed at the source. OS level.
So I will like to update the control file on the source so that it does not reflect this dropped temp file any longer and then do the clone again.
So What's the best way to achieve this or please point me to a metalink note:
Also below are the rrors from the rapid clone

Hi Helios ,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I found that the issed was that there is a datafile that was dropped at the source at the OS level ... ( A mistake by one of support staff).
So How can I modify the control file creation at the target not to reference the data file that does not exist. I have tried removing it as stated in my previore post but it stall fails at the control file creation
Please adivise

AnithaI'll make couple of off the cuff observations in no particular order.
1) ORACLE XE only allows a single instance per system.
I suspect that you are attempting manual DB creation since dbca is NOT provided with XE.
why do you not use dbca to make the new DB?
2) typically the password file resides in $ORACLE_HOME\dbs
3) Oracle password file is NOT required to exist.
4) does OS user invoking orapwd has necessary OS permissions to actually create the file?

ORA-01991: invalid password file 'C:\oracle\ora92\DATABASE\PWDhubdb.ORA'
I don't have any ideas?
Amy

Dear Amy!
Symptom:
When trying to open (or mount) a database the following error is generated:
ORA-01991: invalid password file '...PWDOrcl.ora'Where ‘Orcl’ is the SID of the database instance.
Cause:
Typically some corruption of the password file, or possibly the password file is for another database instance?
Possible Remedies:
If encountered when creating the database then it is because Oracle expects to create the password file but it already exists. In this instance database creation will have failed. Delete the password file and try again.
If it is suspected that the password file is corrupt then try deleting it and recreating it:
1. Delete the existing password file.
2.Create a new/replacement password file:
orapwd file=<path>\PWD<sid>.ora password=oracleUse the same path as given in the Oracle error. The password specified will be the new internal password.
Yours sincerely
Florian W.

Entries in password file

How can I check the maximum number of entries of my password file after creation ( long time after creation, 'cause I had forgot it )?
Thank you and sorry for my mistaken English, I'm not from english-speaking country.

Hi,
You cannot!
In Linux, here is absolutely no difference between a file with 4 entries and a file with 1 entry.
However, if you are using linux, you could use the following command
cksum $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw* | awk '{printf "%s has between %d and %d entries\n", $3, ($2-1536) / 128 + 1, ($2-1536) / 128 + 4}'

Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
Instructive documentation - not very good.
Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
Could use timer tracking of the record process.
Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

Hi,
Sorry, my mistake, I did not pay attention to the cloning part.
For this error, looks like the database was not cleanly shutdown before copying the files or that preclone was not run successfully. You will have to run preclone again, and shutdown the database normally, then copy the file again.

How can I change the file creation date?

I recently downloaded more than 1,000 photos from my vacation. I'm preparing to burn DVDs for a friend, and I noticed that when I copy the photos to the desktop, they don't all have the same date. I have read a couple of discussions here about the difference between photo creation date and file creation date, and I understand the difference. But something seems odd to me.
For purposes of illustration, let's take two photos: "A" was taken with the camera in the landscape position (how one normally holds a point-and-shoot); "B" was taken with the camera held in the portrait position (rotated 90 degrees). The photos were taken on April 24, about three minutes apart, but not imported into iPhoto until May 19.
In iPhoto, both files show the actual creation date. Yay!
The problem is with the files after having been copied to the desktop.
When copied to the desktop, the info panel for photo "A" shows April 24 for both the "created" and "modified" dates. Photo "B," however, shows May 19 for the "created" and "modified" dates.
Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
Is there any way to change this? I want the DVD to show the date the photo was created, not imported to iPhoto. Picky, I know … but I'm like that.

Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
Correct. Your camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata. When you import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it - email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. So if you used the shot in a word processing doc, uploaded it to many Web site etc, the shot would come out sideways.
iPhoto has nothing to say about File dates. There are various file utilities that will edit the dates on Files
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11143/a-better-finder-attributes
for instance. But there are otheers, search on MacUpdate

How can you determine a file creation date and know if it's been altered since the creation date

I need to know how to determine a file creation date on an ipad. If someone creates a document/note on an ipad how can you tell when it was created and if it has been altered since?

Unless you are using a third party app that provides that functionality, in iOS the only thing youcan access is the last edit/save date and time, which is fairly evident in the user interface for documents and notes. Some apps that handle MS Office files may provide that, but ican't say first hand.

How do i find the location of Oracle password file in the HDD

we giv the location of the password file while we use the orapwd command to create one.
later if we forget the location of the password file (incase it is not at the default location) then is there a way to find it or do we just create a new password file?
secondly, for oracle to use the password file we giv the remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE' in the parameter file. wat tells oracle the location of the exact password file??
Thanks
Arvind
Edited by: iinfi on Sep 29, 2008 12:15 AM

The default location are OS dependant.
On Unix/Linus it is under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
On Windows, it is under %ORACLE_HOME%/database
To change the default location, nothing inside database, but :
On Unix/Linux, you have to create a symbolic link for that file to the target location
On Windows, you have to change env variable (regedit) ORA_PWFILE and ORA_SID_PWFILE
So, you have to check this setting for the real password file location.
