Patch clusters and what they break.....

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows if Sun keeps a list of what their clusters break anywhere. I have not had 1 patch cluster yet that didn't re-write a conf or break some sort of dependancy / app.
It would be really handy to know before hand what to backup instead of everything. (local support for the latest cluster advised "3 things break but we don't know what they are" !)
Cheers,
Harv

My only problem with Patch 3a are crashes
but comparing with Patch 1, they were
substantially reduced. After 5 weeks I have
not seen any GUI or PL/SQL problem. I think
Oracle should stop adding functionalities
and concentrate on stability. To be honest
it is the best tool for database applications
far more productive than any other tool I
have seen, including Java, not to mention
runtime performance and functionalities. But
this stability problem exists for many years
and I wonder why Oracle doesn't solve it
once for all...

Why is Apple so bad at providing customers with information on what the problem with email is and what they are doing to fix it?

Why is apple not providing information on what the problem withe email is and what they are doing to fix, along with a time frame for fixing the problem.

It was because the problem was major. If you do not know tech, you should know that a two day outage usually indicates some type of virus, hack, or a bad software load that they had to unravel. The common way to solve that is to rebuild servers and put back into service. That takes time.
Apple did not want to admit this problem. My guess at this stange was that they loaded new software that might be associated with the new IOS and it crashed. To reveal this would be to cast into doubt their future revenue.
Either way. Run do not walk away from Icloud products and services. Apple has demonstrated they can not be a business partner.

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

I want open a hotspot I have three iMac and 2 iPad 2 but I want control all the devices in my iPad like time and what they are watching?

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

Whatever the rep told you, it is complete nonsense. There is clearly a problem at your end, the Apple TV 3 is capable of more than the Apple TV 2, and you clearly have the Apple TV 2 working perfectly. Since the Apple TV 2 is able to download from the Internet properly, then my suspicion would be your problem lies on your local network. Interference is a common problem on local networks.
Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Hi larryalk,
welcome to Discussions!
In addition to Kurt's excellent link,
Here are the ones you can print "just in case":
- Shortcuts for freezes
This one has all useful links:
- Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
This one is very handy:
- Mac OS: Apple Pro Keyboard Shortcuts for Shut Down and Restart
Also:
Many keyboard shortcuts are not documented. Just try holding the Option key in combination with the usual ones, see what it does. Same with the Control key and the Shift key.
In popping dialog boxes:
Usually command+dot = Cancel, and
hitting the initial letter often equals a mouse-click.
In the menubar and the menus:
Also simply hitting a letter.
Or two letters if needed, like HI = History when H(E) = Help.
⇧ Shift
⌥ Option
⌘ Command
⌃ Control
Have fun!

Happy New Year Kurt!

What I want from BT, and what they've done wrong (...

I've recently come back to BT from different phone and broadband providers because I wanted BT Infinity. My experience so far has been pretty bad. I'll explain later, but firstly here's what I want from BT.
Most importantly I want a 24 hour helpdesk, based in the UK staffed by technically trained people who can actually do something about my problem or at least give the correct details if it is a general outage.
I want control over my internet connection. I want to be able to see the line stats and status of my modem (you can't with BT Infinity) and I want to be able alter my speed profile and the parameters of my line to suit my own tolerance for speed vs. reliability.
Ideally I want to ring up and talk to a real person in the UK about anything unless it's really trivial and easily automated (balance inquiry, paying a bill etc.).
When I have reported a fault or am having problems with the ordering process I want to be able to get through to the team dealing with my problem easily rather than via the torturous calling menu and a different department each time.
I want communications from BT to make sense and be consistent. This includes emails, the call menu and any recorded messages.
I want the recorded status message updated more frequently.
Here are my experiences since ordering my BT service in November:
I tried to order Infinity (and phone line transfer)) four times. I had to do this over the phone as the website wouldn't work. Each time I was told I could have infinity and each time I got a very impersonal email telling me I couldn't. I think because I had Broadband and phone from different suppliers and the system couldn't handle taking over the line and ordering Infinity at the same time. Eventually I successfully ordered it but only because BT insisted I have a new line put in (presumably to get around the problem in their ordering process.
I got Infinity installed OK and all was working fine but now no longer had my phone number. Then I had a farce where my previous provider, TalkTalk, kept failing to cancel my old line so I couldn't get the number back. I was never sure why BT couldn't just take the line back as I thought there was a process for this.
During this process I spoke with BT India a couple of times to explain they could go ahead (thinking that TalkTalk had released the line). They were very polite and everything seemed to be proceeding until I got an email telling me I was indeed getting a new number, but not my old one just some random one and I was going to be charged £25 for the pleasure.
Cutting a long story short I got my old number back on January 2nd having been without it since November 15th. Thanks to Margret @ BT who was genuinely helpful.
My BT infinity speed is a vast improvement over my own line, however at 23Mb it's nowhere near the max (I'm quite close to the box) and it drops much lower during peak hours (it varies but it's been mostly around 6-14Mb).
Just recently the service has failed twice. The first time I called the "help" desk and was put through to an Indian call centrel. It was about 1am on a weekday (I'm a night owl) and the chap told me that the Infinity helpdesk was closed (WTF, are we only allowed to have faults during the day?). He then went away and told me that there was a problem in my area. I checked online via my phone and none was mentioned, some time later a problem did appear online in the Londond area but still nothing about my area (Chelmsford, Essex). I still have no idea what the problem was.
Then it went down again last night (Sunday) again late in the evening (12.30am), this time I got put throught to a recorded message that told me the helpdesk was closed, not even an Indian call centre to talk to and then it promptly hung up on me.
The first time it went down my wife was without broadband (which I'm paying for) all day. I got home and reset the router and it came to life. I'm not sure if the broadband was down or the router just needed resetting. This was particularly annoying as there seems to be no way of knowing when it is back without resetting the router every 10 minutes until it works. Especially outside of hours as there is NO HELP AVAILABLE.
Yesterday I called the status line and was given the hilarious message, which was roughly "There are currently no problems with the BT network. There are problems with the BT network in the Birmingham area. If you want further information please go to www.bt.com/...". Firstly is there or isn't there a problem, and how the **bleep** can I go to "www.bt.com/..." when my internet is down.
Basically if it's outside BT's convenience then I can't get any problem addressed. Totally useless, totally unacceptable, the Internet does not shut in the evening BT!!!
Another amusing one was trying to get caller ID back on my line. Again the website didn't work so I ended up calling. I eventually got throught to a message that said "Press 1 to order a free service, Press 2 to order a premium service, Press 3 to order a special service" (or something like that). How the **bleep** do I know which category caller ID fits into?
The whole experience has been frustrating which is a shame because I want BT to succeed, I want them to supply me with a great service and I'd be happy to pay (even more) for that. As the saying goes, you measure how good a company is by what they do when things go wrong...
It's obvious that BT have some good staff, everyone has been polite and on the surface seemed helpful and when you finally do get to someone is a position to help things eventually get sorted (thanks Margret).
Why is it that communication companies are the absolute worst at communicating?
Anyone agree, have similar experiences?
Rant Over!

Recommended Patch Clusters and Zones

Good Afternoon,
Ran into a problem earlier this week and wanted to get other views on this. Our current configuration is as followed:
Global zone installed on Local Disk (ZFS)
5 - Non-global whole root zones installed on SAN disk (ZFS)
No Live Upgrade (Will eventually get to this)
Never have had any problems until I attempted to install the latest Patch Cluster because of Comms Suite 7. I shutdown all of the non-global zones and shutdown the Global zone to init S. I then started my Patch Cluster install. The Patch Cluster appears to start all of the zones up in an Administrative Mode for patching. The problem was that when it go to the kernel patch, 141414-10, it appeared to install in the Global but none of the non-global zones were updated. The Patch then stopped on 141414-10 (Patch 109 of 155). I did finally get the patch cluster to install after some work and a support call.
My question is this the proper way to install the Patch Clusters? I've been told that you have to "mount" the zones manually but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of being single-user?
Any help is appreciated.
Doug

I tend to use LU to create a new BE and then patch that. Then activate the new BE and reboot.
Saves a lot of pain and gives a safe fall back option.

How to set restrictions and what they mean

How to set restrictions one the different oracle users and what can they do within the set restrictions, their limitations.

What cardinality means

How many TOP are in APPS and what they mean........

Dear All
One very basic question, how many TOPs are there in APPS, middle tier and db tier, and what does they mean, like we have APPL_TOP, COMMON_TOP, etc.......
regards

how many TOPs are there in APPSNo specific answer since it differs from release to release. Oracle Apps 11i installation comes with many TOPs defined (e.g. APPL_TOP, COMMON_TOP, FND_TOP, AU_TOP, ..etc).
and what does they mean, like we have APPL_TOP, COMMON_TOP, etcSimply, they are environment variables.
Let us say ..
You have installed the APPL_TOP under /u01/oracle (e.g. /u01/oracle/prodappl)
and,
I have installed it under /u02/oracle (e.g. /u02/oracle/prodappl).
When we both issue "echo $APPL_TOP":
You would get:
$ echo $APPL_TOP -- On Windows, type %APPL_TOP%
/u01/oracle/prodapplAnd, I would get:
$ echo $APPL_TOP -- On Windows, type %APPL_TOP%
/u02/oracle/prodappl

ITunes Credits and what they are

I recently had a huge problem with downloading movie and music videos. I sent an email to customer support and they credited my account. The problem is that they credited my account with "videos" and I am not sure what exactly I can buy with those credits. I have looked everywhere and can't seem to figure it out. Are these credits for both movies and music or only one or the other or what? Seeing as how I had issues with both movies and music are these credits good for both? Someone please help me. They only told me in the email that the credits for the videos would be there, and that they would be used first as I purchased videos until the credits were gone then my card would be billed. I don't want to purchase something thinking I'm using my credits and find out that my card has been charged again. Thank you

Did you ever find out the answer to this question? I am wondering the same thing... Thanks!

Descritption of property nodes and what they mean

Does anybody know where I can get a good description of property nodes and what the specific properties mean? The help files are a start, but in many areas they are kind of lame..

My company is sending a representative to NI Week to meet with some head honchos from NI on possible improvements and suggestions. I have added what you are asking for to the list of what will be discussed. In addition to property nodes, I am asking for documentation of all methods. I've seen a large TestStand poster that lists API calls, properties and methods, and such. I think the same ought to be done with Labview. Of course that poster would be humongous. Any kind of document would suffice. I am anxiously awaiting the outcome of this meeting.
Many other items are on the list, including some issues that were brought up in this forum. I have asked for a way to "comment out" sections of code without having to use a case structure set to false with all the wiring changes. Another item I asked for was a wizard to automatically generate the basic code for some architectures, like producer-consumer, state machine (simpler that using the state machine toolkit), and such. Many others here have joined in to make suggestions, too numerous to list them all here.

Can I get a list of all binary files and what they do?

I'm a newbie to Oracle. Needless to say I'm blindly muddling my way through the experiance of installations/setup and managing my first database. I realize that there is a three tier system and for my system all three of the tiers are on the same pc! In short I need help with what executables do what. I've tried going through Linux howto's, online docs, and even bought a book on the subject but the book seems to stroke the benifits of using Oracle instead of actually telling me how to use Oracle. I'm using Oracle8i 8.1.7 EE (enterprise edition) on Linux RH 7.0. I would like a link to a list or the actuall list of all the binary files in $OracleHOME/bin/ and what each of them do. Also important log files I should consult regularly would be most helpfull. Thanks.

While you're at it, see if you can get a complete description of all the X$ tables.

Could someone explain what a smart object is and what they are used for?

Keep seeing them mentioned, but no idea what they are or what the purpose is..

ITunes Error messages and what they mean

Hello,
I like to download Podcasts and I enjoy listening to some of them during my down time. But sometimes I get errors such as err = -3259 or err = -3252 but there is no place that I have found to tell what these error codes mean?
What should I do when I get these errors, and where could I go to find the meaning of these error codes?
Thanks a million.
Waseem

There's an explanation of what a bunch of the codes relate-to/are-caused-by in the *Specific Conditions and Alert Messages* section of the following document:
[iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297]
Your two typically indicate security software trouble, although it's a bit odd that you're only getting them intermittently ... are they always cropping up on some podcasts but not on others?
