PL/SQL Server Pages (PSPs) and CSS

Hi,
I am used to creating standards compliant websites using XHTML and CSS and some other application language for dynamic content. I have recently started working with PL/SQL and want to create an application using PSPs. I was wondering the best way to go about including CSS in an application, because it doesn't make sense to duplication the CSS on each page, but since the PSP is converted to a procedure this seesm to be the only way to include CSS?
Any ideas on best practice for using CSS with PSPs?

I think you should be able to put all your CSS into a single file, or only a few files, like in a normal web project and that you can include this file using the regular HTML tag.
You store your CSS file(s) in a folder that is accessible by your website. Normally this is achieved by adding an Alias in the Apache webserver that is embedded in the Oracle database.
If I remember it correctly (it has been a while since I saw the embedded webserver) your request for your PSP goes to an url like http://your.server.com/pls/your_page. Everything of the url that comes after /pls/ is handled by the mod_plsql Apache module that is repsonsible for sending the request to the database and returning the result to the screen.
If you can define an alias like 'css' (without the quotes), which makes the url something like http://your.server.com/css/, then you can try to include your CSS file(s) referring to /css/file.css. Once you get this working, you can do the same for images.
This is a generic approach that can get you started hopefully.
Good luck.
I hope this can get you started. Information on the alias can be found

PLSQL Server Pages (PSP): problems with viewing data

Hello.
I'm currently working at on-line shop and have some problems with viewing data from database. When there is no much inserts to table its working very well. But after inserting all Inserts I have its acting weird.
Sample with 10 INSERTS:

Sample with 100 INSERTS:
http://gafgarion.atspace.com/psp/2.jpg
I'm using Oracle 9i. when I have more data in my database its acting weird. There is SELECT only from one table, but sometimes I have data from other tables aswell.
I didnt touch any config files or something else. Only created new User and DAD.
any ideas what should I do to fix that ??
thnx in advice

Hello,
My guess is that you are speaking about PLSQL Server Pages (PSP), and the PLSQL Web Toolkit.
This is why I do not think that you will have lot of answer since this forum is targeted toward Web Services developer (XML, SOAP, and so on)
I am inviting you to ask your question on the general Oracle Application Server - General or PLSQL forums.

How to add PSP (PL/SQL Server Page) application to an Oracle Apps 11i menu

How can I add a small application (drilldown search) I developed using psp (pl/sql server page) into a menu inside Oracle Apps 11i?

Hi
Here's how I do it:
1. Create the function.
In the Function Type use one of the PLSQL options, for example WWK which is a popup PL/SQL function.
In the web_html_call, simply add the package.procedure
2. Setup Security
In order to be able to call a PL/SQL procedure from a web page, you need to add it to web enabled PL/SQL
Do this in System Administrator, under "Security / Web Enabled PL/SQL " or similar (can't remember offhand)
3. Make the call
You should then be able to call it using
http://server:port/pls/DBSID/package.procedure
Obviously substiture DBSID for you database SID.
Should work, done it loads..

How to ask a good question
Make sure to give all the pertinent information that people will need to answer your question. Questions like “I got an IO error, any ideas?” or “What’s the best technology for me to use?” will likely go unanswered, or at best just result in a request for more information. Here are some ideas of what to include:
For the “I got an IO error, any ideas?” scenario:
The exact error message. (The SQL Errorlog and Windows Event Logs can be a rich source of information. See the section on error logs below.)
What were you doing when you got the error message?
When did this start happening?
Any troubleshooting you’ve already done. (e.g. “I’ve already checked all the firmware and it’s up-to-date” or "I've run SQLIOStress and everything looks OK" or "I ran DBCC CHECKDB and the output is <blah>")
Any unusual occurrences before the error occurred (e.g. someone tripped the power switch, a disk in a RAID5 array died)
If relevant, the output from ‘DBCC CHECKDB (yourdbname) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS’
The SQL Server version and service pack level
For the “What’s the best technology for me to use?” scenario:
What exactly are you trying to do? Enable local hardware redundancy? Geo-clustering? Instance-level failover? Minimize downtime during recovery from IO errors with a single-system?
What are the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) you must meet? (e.g. an uptime percentage requirement, a minimum data-loss in the event of a disaster requirement, a maximum downtime in the event of a disaster requirement)
What hardware restrictions do you have? (e.g. “I’m limited to a single system” or “I have several worldwide mirror sites but the size of the pipe between them is limited to X Mbps”)
What kind of workload does you application have? (or is it a mixture of applications consolidated on a single server, each with different SLAs) How much transaction log volume is generated?
What kind of regular maintenance does your workload demand that you perform (e.g. “the update pattern of my main table is such that fragmentation increases in the clustered index, slowing down the most common queries so there’s a need to perform some fragmentation removal regularly”)
Finding the Logs
You will often find more information about an error by looking in the Error and Event logs. There are two sets of logs that are interesting:
SQL Error Log: default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.#\MSSQL\LOG (Note: The # changes depending on the ID number for the installed Instance. This is 1 for the first installation of SQL Server, but if you have mulitple instances, you will need to determine the ID number you’re working with. See the BOL for more information about Instance ID numbers.)
Windows Event Log: Go to the Event Viewer in the Administrative Tools section of the Start Menu. The System event log will show details of IO subsystem problems. The Application event log will show details of SQL Server problems.

hi,I have a question on sql database high availability. I have tried using database mirroring, where I am using sql standard edition, in this database mirroring of synchronous mode is the only option available, and it is giving problem, like sql time out errors on my applicatons since i had put in the database mirroring, as asynchronous is only available on enterprise version, is there any suggestions on this. thanks ---vijay

System Center 2012 R2 install: SQL server Data file and log file

This might be a dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
I'm installing a new instance of System Center 2012 R2 on a new server, I'm stuck on the SQL Server data file section. Everytime I put in a path, it says that tne path does not exist. I'm I supposed to be creating some sort of SQL Server
data file and log file before this installation, I didn't get this prompt when installing System Center 2012 SP1 or hen I upgraded from System Center 2012 SP1 to System Center 2012 R2
My SQL is on a different server
Thank you in advanced

Have you reviewed the setup.log?
On a side note, why would you put the database file on the same drive as the OS? That defeats the whole purpose of having a remote SQL Server. Why use a remote SQL Server in the first place.

Automatically start SQL Agent service after SQL Server service fails and starts.

Hi!
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 with two main services - SQL Server and SQL Agent.
I'll try to describe my situation. It happens very occasionally, but sometimes SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. It's my log:
09/13/2013 10:46:21,Service Control Manager,Error,The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
09/13/2013 10:46:21,,Error,[359] The local host server is not running,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:22,MSSQLSERVER,Error,The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.,Server,1073760843,,
09/13/2013 10:46:22,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #1)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:27,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #2)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #3)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Error,[140] AutoRestart: The MSSQLSERVER service could not be restarted after 3 attempts,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[360] SQLServerAgent initiating shutdown following MSSQLSERVER shutdown,,,,
As you can see, SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service. After unsuccessfully attempts to start SQL Server service, SQL Agent service stops itself. I have the option setting in SQL Server
service to start itself after unexpectedly stop within 2 minutes and it is works well. But I have to start my SQL Agent service after this manually. Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly and in this case I just want
to make the settings to start both of my services SQL Server and SQL Agent automatically after this. How can I set up this? How can I make my SQL Agent service starts after SQL Server service?

Hello,
SQL server agent service depends on SQL server service so unless SQL server service comes online agent will not come online so agent is depended on SQL server not the other wise.
Now is your server 2008 R2 patched to latest service pack (SP2).If not please upgrade it to latest SP.Some fixes are there in Sp which will subside this issue.Can you paste output of
select @@version
>>Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service.No this is not the case
>>Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly
Did you checked sql server errorlog and windows event log completely.Please do so and paste if you find some more info

SQL Server Agent Job And Database Mail - Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters

We have a stored procedure that we are trying to call with a SQL Server Agent Job. The stored procedure calls Database Mail. This is SQL 2008. The execute task is simply:
USE [Production]
GO
EXEC [dbo].[JOB_EMAIL_SCHEDULED_REPORTS]
GO
When the job runs, it is erroring out immediately, with the error:
Execute as user: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22050). The step failed.
When we go into SQL Server Manager and just execute the SQL query, it works though. Something within the SQL Server Agent job, and Database Mail is causing problems. Any ideas? Thanks.

Justin,
If you use SSMS then the procedure is executed under a different user when compared to running using a SQL Server Agent Job.
Isolate the problem by running a SQL Server agent job that sends a mail. Also check if the NT Authority\Network Service account is
in good standing. Look at the below thread with a similar problem that had an expired account.

Howto take SQL Server 2005 Cluster AND Cluster Group Offline

I need to update firmware on the backend storage used by our Active/Passive SQL Server 2005 Cluster. The first step in the process states that all I/O to the disks should be stopped. Per that, I need to take the the SQL Server cluster offline AND the cluster group; however, I then need to use one of the servers that participates in the cluster to perform the upgrade on the storage array. Using the process (which doesn't account for having to use one of clustered servers to perform updates) outlined at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1550288&SiteID=1 as a basis, below is my best guess regarding what I will need to do:
Shutdown:
1. Backup all of your databases prior to the outage and ensure they are in a safe place (NOT on the disk drives in the cluster)
2. Take the SQL Server group OFFLINE. This will cleanly shutdown the SQL Server and it will remain offline when you power the machine back on.
3. Once SQL Server is offline, power off the node which does NOT have the cluster resource currently running on it
4. Save the node which is running the cluster group for last - make a note of this machine as it will be the first one you power back on. MY ADDITION: Before powering it down, set the cluster service to manual so that when you restart the server to perform the storage array maintenance, the cluster will not be running - and likewise not generating I/O against the disk array.
MY ADDITION: 5. Restart the server from step 4. Takes the cluster offline "cleanly" and brings the server back on line so that the storage array maintenance can be performed.
6. Update the firmware on the storage array. After that is complete, set the cluster service back to "Automatic".
Start up:
1. Restart the server. Per the previous steps, the server to be restarted will be the server that last hosted the cluster group and the one used to update the firmware on the storage array.
2. RDP into the node, open cluster administrator, and verify that the cluster came back online successfully and everything looks clean
3. Power on the second node.
4. Failover the cluster group across each node in the cluster and validate that everything looks OK
5. Bring your SQL Server groups back online
6. Validate that everything is operational
Is there a better way to do this or official documentation for the process?
Thanks.

FYI: I did use the process outlined above to briing the cluster offline, perform updates, and bring it back online. It worked as I had hoped. As a test, I had also done the same on a test [non-SQL] cluster prior to making the updates to our SQL cluster. Is it the best way to do it? Who knows. Did it work? Yes.

Service cannot be started. Microsoft.VirtualManager.DB.CarmineSqlException: Unable to connect to the VMM database. Ensure that the SQL Server is running and configured correctly

It's often only a problem of the service dependencies. SCVMM starts to fast, SQL server on the same machine in not initialized yet. Here are working service dependencies to ensure SQL server is initializes before SCVMM starts.
You can set the service dependencies directly in regedit (as always: be careful modifying the registry ...)
Here is the content of a reg file setting the dependency.

Does SAP use SQL server's snapshot and transactional replication?

Gurus:
Could you help with this?
Does SAP use SQL server's snapshot and transactional replication?
Thanks!

Hi Christy,
no, SAP does not directly leverage these functions.
But none the less, it is up to you to use these on your system. I regulary use the snapshot functionality when applying Support Packages. In case somehing goes wrong a snapshot is the easiest way to roll back the import process (not exactly the best choice when talking about production and users keep on working while importing).
Have a look at this [document |http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/9/4/d948f981-926e-40fa-a026-5bfcf076d9b9/SAP_SQL2005_Best Practices.doc]. It deals with Best Practices and also covers snapshot, replication and mirroring.

SQL Server 2012 installation and to default user database files to a particular path

Hi, I am working on SQL Server 2012 installation on one of our test boxes and I would like to configure the sql server install binaries and all the system databases but for tempdb to be in my C and tempdb on a different drive and once all this is set up,
whenever a developer creates a new database without specifying the path for the mdf & ldf files. They should be defaulted to a path like "D:/Data file" & "D:/Log file" for instance instead of being created on the C drive.
Thanks in advance.........
Ione

Hi,
You can of course set default location of database through management Studio please refer below link. Once you change default location even if you do not specify location it would take default one.
http://sqlandme.com/2013/03/18/sql-server-changing-default-database-location-for-server/
I would advise you not to keep files on C drive let it be dedicated system drive also its quite possible that SQL server service account would not have privilege on C drive so after you move tempdb SQL server would not come online as tempdb files cannot
be created . Tempdb is always recreated after SQL Server starts so you just need to change location once using Alter database command
See example mentioned in below link for how to do that
