Patching new instance.

DBA's
I just created a new 10gR2 instance on a Solaris box using DBCA. The ORACLE_HOME which I used was already patched with the July06CPU. Do I have to run the catcpu.sql script against the new instance?
Thanks,
Kirk

DBA's,
I found out that the sys object REGISTRY$HISTORY contains all the version info for the latest patch installed in the database. When I query the old instance that object had the correct CPU info in it - the new instance did not. This leads me to believe that I would have to run the catcpu.sql on the newly created instance. Is this a correct assumption?

Cannot see Private Workareas after Import in a New Instance

Hi guys,
I followed the procedure you recommended in the designer 9i installation guide about migrating/upgrading the repository and It seems I missed something:
-I made an export of my repository owner with the RAU in Oracle Database 8.1.7 with Rep. version .4.0.12.89.9 using designer 6i.
-I create a new database instance in another machine with Oracle 9i (9.0.1.3.0).
-I create a repository with Designer 9i and applied the patch is suggested in OTN to upgrade the repository to the same version as my current repository (4.0.12.89.9)
-I import the DMP file to the new instance using RAU.
-Created the Repository users and applied the grants according to the documentation.
-I followed the steps about Full Reconciliate, compile all, etc.
-After some tries I could see all the workareas defined in my repository owner.
-However, I cannot connect to every single PRIVATE WORKAREA that every user defined in the current database!!!.
-Moreover, I had to delete the Repository User (from RAU) and recreate it in order to get access to the global share ara.
-My problem is very problematic as I have defined about 20 users and everyone has its own private area.
Is there something I have missed???
TIA.
Edgardo.

I have posted 4 questions including this. 3 of them were in the Designer forum and none of them were answered. Don4t know if I have to ask for rights to be answered, as is very frustrating not to have a clue of every problem we reported.
I have found the solution to this problem, just in case some other guys are going thru the same issue.
The problem is that for some reason the repository is not GRANTING the role which name is:CKR_<repos_owner>, so, if you want that all users see all the workareas they used to see before upgrading/migration, connect to SQLPLUS as SYSTEM, SYS or <repos_owner> and give the role to every user:
grant CKR_<repos_owner> to USER1;
WHERE: repos_owner is the repository owner where you created your repository.
USER1 is the user who uses the repository.
Hope this helps.!!!!

Need to build new instance in sync with PROD instance.

Hi,
I need to build a test instance at my location which should be in sync with customer's PROD instance. I was given backup of ad_bugs,ad_applied_patches tables. Customer is not ready for clone due to security reasons.
This TEST instance will be used by our development people.
To build a test instance, i prepared the action plan, Just i want to check with you people once again.
1) building a new instance with rapid clone. I will keep same licencing, characterset,languages.
2) I will start applying one bye one patches.
Is this correct way or any other smarted way of doing the same activity.
Regards
SR.
activity.

By perfroming all the steps you describe, you are in effect doing a clone THE HARD WAY. Is there specific security concerns regarding data preventing you from using Rapid Clone? If so, there may be Oracle API's to resolve that.
I highly recommend convincing your customer that Rapid Clone is the way to go. You may never get everything in synch and it will be difficult to identify, internal id's likely won't. I also don't believe the method you propose is supported.
IMHO, Rapid Clone from prod is a requirement to support any SDLC e-biz installation.

Why is it that sometimes when I use my middle mouse button to click on a link to open it in a new tab I will have it open it in an entirely new instance of Firefox instead of a new tab?

Occasionally when I click on a link with my middle mouse button, instead of opening the page in a new tab, it will open a new instance of Firefox.
I've looked through some of the settings and I wasn't able to find anything. It really gets to be bothersome at times because I prefer things to be in tabs instead of a new browser.

It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

Schedule Webi (and Crystal) report without creating a new instance

Hi all,
I'm looking for the way to not create a new instance of the report when we schedule a report? Is it any actions on the InfoObject object? Or is it just impossible to do?
Thanks in advance !
Edited by: jerome.vervier on Nov 21, 2011 11:40 AM

Hi,
With regards to your query, whenever a report is scheduled an instance of it will be created.
Therefore, it is not possible to schedule a report without creating an instance.

Internet Shortcuts saved on Desktop open new instance of Firefox 3.6 using clean profile--how can I make it open all shortcuts using current profile?

I rely heavily on Firefox's profiling ability to assist me in my web design projects. Lately, using Firefox 3.6, I have run into some problems with how it opens Internet Shortcuts that are saved locally (i.e.- shortcuts that reside on my Desktop). When I double-click on one of these shortcuts, a new instance of Firefox 3.6 is loaded with the saved website from the shortcut, but it's also initialized a fresh profile (i.e.- my bookmarks are gone, no add-ons, etc.--it's as if it uses some sort of "hidden" clean slate to load the shortcuts).
Is there any way to force Firefox to load all shortcuts into whatever profile I'm currently using at that given moment? I think the reason this has happened to begin with is because of the fact that I did some stuff to Internet Explorer awhile back that caused some problems with the Internet Shortcut associations and it all led to this eventuality.
I'm running Windows XP Pro and have the following profiles with my Firefox versions:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3.6\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3.6
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox N\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p FirefoxN
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2\firefox.exe" --no-remote -p Firefox2
When I go into the "Folder Options / File Types" and double-click on "Internet Shortcut", I have the following within the "Advanced" settings (for the "open" action):
Action: open
Application used to perform action: rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
"Use DDE" is checked...
"DDE Message" is blank...
"Application" is "shdocvw"...
"DDE Application Not Running" is blank...
"Topic" is "System"
Again, I think the root problem here is to do with the profiles and how they're handled when being opened with Firefox but I can't discern how to apply a fix with all this as I've obviously goobered this up a bit. I would really appreciate some professional knowledge on this and would prefer to avoid any reinstalls of anything if possible.

To save your sanity with this issue, my advice is to find a method other than desktop shortcuts to open those URL's.
1. Desktop shortcuts are going to open the Default Browser.
a. With multiple versions of Firefox installed that would be the last version that was installed when you have Firefox set as the Default Browser in Windows..
b. The Default Browser is going to use the Profile that shows a Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.
c. The Default Browser with the Default Profile isn't going to open if you have any other versions of Firefox already running, and the -no-remote command line parameter doesn't work in this situation.
2. The use of multiple Profiles and multiple versions isn't officially supported by Mozilla, and all the Bug reports that I have ever read about Requests for Enhancement have been WONTFIX'd by the developers. Basically we have to work with the limitations in Firefox and maybe improvise work arounds by ourselves. I've even seen a few threats about removing Profiles altogether in RFE Bug reports about Profiles.
I have had so many problems over the years with this Default Browser / Default Profile thing over the years that personally I find it easier to just set Opera as the Default Browser in Windows rather than have a Profile get b0rked because some other program I am using decides it wants to open the Default Browser unexpectedly. I don't use Opera for much, but it is a lot better than IE for purposes of being the Default Browser, considering the quirks I have seen with Firefox and multiple Profiles.
I have written a number of postings over at the MozillaZine Builds forum over the years about installing multiple versions of Firefox and using multiple Profiles. There's a lot of tips and comments provided by other multiple Profile users in one of those threads. Why don't you read those threads and see if it gives you some ideas or solutions I haven't thought of.

How to Patch Multiple Instances on same oracle home

Hi All
I Have 4 Instances running on server like below
DEVSTAG /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0
DEVUAT /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0
DEVREVT /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0
DEVREG /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0
i want to Apply the patch set 11.1.0.7.1 to DEVUAT & DEVREVT Instances , Can someone please help .. i dont want this patch set applied to DEVSTAG Instance .. how to exclude that Instance from getting patched ?
Thanks in advance .. hope my requirement is clear.

Which patch are you referring to ? The database patching tool (opatch) generally applies any database patch to an ORACLE_HOME. You will need to follow the instructions in the README of the patch. If you need to only patch one instance, then you will have to create a dedicated ORACLE_HOME for each database (i.e they will not share database executables). If you share ORACLE_HOME amongst multiple instances, then you will have to patch all of them simultaneously.

I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes to a new instance of iTunes on my brand new Mac... How do I "switch" from one instance of iTunes to another? How do I get the 5 Digit Code Network to come back on my Screen?

I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes on my iBook to a new instance of iTunes on my new Mac... How do I get the 5 digit Network code to come back? Is there anyway for 1st Generation Apple TV to be synched to two instances of iTunes or do I have to choose one or the other? I appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks!

The 5 digit code is every time different. That does not matter. Just integrate every device into your network.
You can connect many computers to Apple TV but syncronisation works exactly with one computer. That's why I use "streaming". But you can sync one computer, then another, and so on. The content on your Apple TV is the content from your computer that has synced last. But you can not mix it.
The new Apple TV has no syncronisation. Everything is streamed,

How can i create a new instance on unix

Hi,
How can i create a new instance(instance only) on UNIX and how can i mount my database with this new instance.

If you simply create a pfile and startup nomount with it, then -in theory- you have an instance running ( this method is used e.g. for restoring a rman backup )
2) You can't. Database files are bound to a certain instance. What you can do is recreate an instance with e.g. a different name, using the scripts generated by a 'alter database backup controlfile to trace;' command

How can we open a new instance of Firefox without URL bar and any other control (except PREV, NEXT and RELOAD)?

Dear Volunteers,
I am looking for a solution for Firefox Win App and Mobile Apps where on click of a button from the website page, we should be able to launch a new instance of firefox instance (like a popup box) with following features:
a. It SHOULD NOT have any URL bar to display.
b. It SHOULD NOT show any plug-ins or any other functionality except Previous, Next and Reload.
c. This instance of firefox should always be on-top of all other application.
Please advise, how firefox can be customized to offer in all platforms by default.
With lot of hope from this volunteer community,
Rajiv

You would need your visitors to install some kind of add-on, since web pages do not have permission to block the display of the page address and users do not need to allow a new window to be modal and block other Firefox windows, much less other OS windows.
Over the years, people have developed extensions for kiosk-style displays. You could investigate those for ideas.

How can i run a new instance of API by providing seperate JVM.

Hello,
I have some static member and function and they conflicted while opening the new instance of API. Can i run a new instance in separate JVM so it will run independently even we have static members and functions.
Or do we have any other procedure, without removing "static" we can run with out conflicting ?
Thanks

Once again someone thinks static is the same in a distributed application/clustered system. The OP must realise that static is only static per jvm of which there can be more than one in an environment and may not work in a cluster if pooling is used across the cluster. I am no expert on this myself but I think the solution has something to do with creating your own class loader or use JEE which may provide the OP with the flexibility they wish to have?Personally I think they've just found a new version of some API they're using, and don't want to refactor all their code to fit it. Writing web service layers and the like, even a bunch of RMI code, is going to be more painful than that.

Problems when creating a new instance of an Input parameter for a REM

I am working in a small demo which calls a Remote Enable Function Module in order to read data from the back end system. Since the function module I need to call ("BP_BUPA_SEARCH_BY_USER") is not Remote Enable I created a copy of it and made it Remote Enable ("Z_BUPA_SEARCH_BY_USER"). I have created the model within webdynpro without any problems but when my application reaches the line where I create a new instance of the object Z_Bupa_Search_By_User_Input (see below the source code), just before to call the remote function, the application stops there. I have exactly the same code in another bapi calls and it works fine. I am wondering if my problem has anything to do with the fact the function module i am calling is the function module I created. Any advice is very welcome.
Regards,
Diego.

msg.reportSuccess("------>>>"); "THIS LINE IS PRINTED
Z_Bupa_Search_By_User_Input searchByUser =

Checking for a value in a field within a subform before allowing a user to add a new Instance

Form setup:
Page name = Page1
1st Subform within Page1 = Info (set to flowed)
Objects within Info subform: Name (textfield) and Email (textfield)
I also have a 2nd subform within Page 1 which contains an add instance button
What I'm trying to do:
1. The user needs to enter their Name and Email address then click "Add Instance button" to create a new instance of the Info subform : _Info.addInstance(1);
2. If the user fails to enter an email address, I want there to be a mesage box that infos the user that an email address is required before he/she can create a new instance. Note: It would also be nice if the cursor is Set to foucs on the email field within that particular subform instance.
3. As long as the user tries to continue adding an instance, he/she will be denied if they do not enter an email in that instance
4. If the user includes an email address in that instance, then the script will create add a new isntance
5. The process should continue in this manner for each each click of the add instance button
I presume there nees to be a loop and perhaps a somExpression scipt, but I'm not sure.
Here's what i have so far (see below)....The script works for the first instance on the page, but it doesn't prevent new instances from being created when the email field in that "current instance" is empty. I want it to prevent the user from adding new instances if the email field is balnk in that "current instance". So, I guess I'm not sure how ot test a field in the current instance in a repeating subform.
var vName = Info.somExpression + ".email";
    var vEmail = xfa.resolveNode(vName).rawValue;
    if(vEmail == null)
xfa.host.messageBox("PLease enter an email address.");
else{
Form._Info.addInstance(1);
        var i = Form._Info.count - 1;
        xfa.host.setFocus(xfa.resolveNode("Info[" + i + "].Name")); //This set's the focus of the cursor in the Name field of the newly created subform
Please advise, and thank you in advance!!!!!!

Hi,
I think you can acheive what you want just by adding "lastRow.presence = "hidden";" when you do the addInstance, so it now looks like;
var lastRow = Form.resolveNode("Info["+(_Info.count - 1)+"]"); // Get last row
if (lastRow.Email.isNull) // If email field empty
    xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter an email address.");
else
    lastRow.presence = "hidden";
        var newRow = _Info.addInstance();
    xfa.host.setFocus(newRow.Name.somExpression); // set focus to Name field on the row just added
So whenever you add a row the previous one is hidden?
For your second issue, if you could have another button on your form, you could ask the user for a password and if they enter it correctly then show for the Info subforms, so;
var response = app.response({ cQuestion: "Do you want to see all respones?",
                              cTitle: "Unlock Form",
                              bPassword: true,
                              cLabel: "Please enter the password:" });
if (response === "Password")
    var infoSubforms = Form.resolveNodes("Info[*]");
    for (var i = 0; i < infoSubforms.length; i++)
                var infoSubform = infoSubforms.item(i);
        infoSubform.presence = "visible";
You would want to password protect your template as well (in Form ... Form Properties ... PDF Security) so people couldn't just open the form and look at the password.
Probably the simplest approach.
Hope this helps
Bruce
