Problem changing SPFILE

We are using SPFILE instead of init.ora in our 10G database. I'm just getting my DBA legs back on so I'm not used to using SPFILE yet. I'm simply trying to start archiving our redo logs.
SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_1='location=D:\bkup\archived_redo_logs\nfipprod';
System altered.
So that part worked fine. However it won't let me set this:

Sorry something got messed up and I didn't finish the posting. Let me try that again.

ERROR at line 1:

Can someone tell me how to modify this, since I have no init.ora file? Thanks.

    the xml file
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <slideshow>
    <area title1="10 Last updated" link1="link1.php"/>
    <area title1="special" link1="link2.php"/>

    var link1:Array = new Array();
    var LINK:String;
    var url:String;
    var whoOn:Number;
    whoOn=0;

  • In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" with a number of playlists in the OPTIONS menu from "music" to "audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check the items have reverted back to "music". What step am I missing?

    In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" in the OPTIONS menu from "Music" to "Audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check, the items have reverted back to "Music". What must I do to save it as an "Audiobook"?

    After more digging in the Support section here and some Google work, I turned off iTunes Match and lo and behold!  I can change the media kind to Audiobook!  So, it looks like iTunes Match locked the files up somehow and for some reason.
    I went into iTunes Store > iTunes Match > "No, Thanks" to disable it on the local PC.

  • Problem changing default key bindings using Oracle Terminal

    Hello,
    I'm facing a problem changing default key bindings using Oracle Terminal. I changed
    some bindings, saved them in forms60/fmrusw.res, started the generation and saved again.
    I thought that's it but it wasn't. It took no effect at all in Forms (even after recompilation) although reopening the file in Terminal showed the changes. I'm using Forms in German, which means that even the key bindings displayed in Forms are translated i.e. STRG+F1 instead if CTRL+F1,
    but I can't find a german version of this resource file, so i think it's the same resource file for all supported languages. But what is needed for the changes to take effect ?
    Thanks in advance
    STD

    Hi,
    is it client/server you are working?
    if so you should not be using the fmrusw.res file because I guess your NLS_LANG is German_Germany.WE8ISO8859P1 or something like that. This means the terminal that is being opened is fmrdw.res instead of fmrusw.res and this file should be edited using Oracle Terminal.
    if you are working via the web implementation than you can open the file fmrweb.res in a text editor and change the keybindings in there. If you need to have the PC like key bindings on the web just open the fmrpcweb.res and see if it contains the German texts. If so you can either copy this file over the frmweb.res file or you can specify term=fmrpcweb.res in the serverargs parameter.
    Hope this helps.
    Kind regards,

    For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head.  Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
    IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt.  I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation.  Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it.

    Hi Oren,
    the corresponding parameter is called metadata directory. You can look it up within BEx WAD --> Tools --> Settings --> Metadata Directory (over there just as display parameter).
    If you have to customize the directory you are to set the environment variable BEXWAD_METADATADIR in your operational system (Start - Settings - System settings - System - Advanced - environment variable). Just set the new folder according to your needs in the field value.
    Usually restarting WAD the next time the new folder is taken, perhaps you have to refresh your metadata (again: BEx WAD --> Tools --> Settings --> Metadata Directory) and restart WAD. The first time WAD starts the files have to be copied to the new directory which can take some time.
    If there are problems/questions let us know.
    Best Regards,
    Marcel

  • I am having problems changing my security question.

    I am having problems changing my security question. When I try it sends me a email to a email I don't own.  is going to gmobil.com instead of gmail.com but its correct user name and password when I log in to iTunes?

    The address the rescue email is set to isn't the same as your normal one. If you can't change the answers, contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in this article.

  • I'm having problems changing my e-mail address to do my updates

    I'm having problem changing my e-mail address and password to do my updates on my I-phone 4 s

    Why are you trying to change your email address? Apps that are purchased with an Apple ID are forever locked to that Apple ID and cannot be changed or merged with any other Apple ID account. You need to use the Apple ID and password that the apps were purchased with to update them.

  • Problems with spfile. How to change database parameters

    Hello
    My Oracle database is 10.2.0 and SAP version is NW2004s. I am having errors in alert.log file
    Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 3959     
    Checkpoint not complete                             
    Sun Aug 27 01:38:12 2006                            
    I have changed the parameter log_buffer from 14274560 to 1048576 following the SAP Note 830576. I changed the pfile and created a spfile from this pfile. Now the pfile and spfile reflect the parameter log_buffer as 1048576.
    But surprisingly, when I say
    SQL> show parameter log_buffer
    NAME                               TYPE                VALUE
    log_buffer                         integer         14274560
    Even after pfile and spfile reflecting 1048576 value for log_buffer, the database is showing this old value. Kindly let me know how to change the log_buffer parameter.

    hi,
    check which file it is reading
    sql>sho parameter spfile
    If it is reading spfile
    issue alter system set log_buffer=<value> scope=spfile;
    down and bring up database
    If it is not reading spfile means reading pfile change parameter in INIT<SID>.ORA file
    move all files which starts with spfile in dir $ORACLE_HOME/dbs to backup location
    connect to database
    create spfile from pfile
    check $ORACLE_HOME/dbs only one spfile<sid>.ora exists
    bring up database
    and look for log_buffer
    I guess ur changing in some other file which oracle is not reading.
    or u can issue startp pfile='path';
    then u can create spfile and issue startup force.
    regards
    Vinod

  • Changing spfile parameters

    Hello,
    I am working on a RAC database with ASM and getting error - ORA-04031: unable to allocate 1072 bytes of shared memory.
    I need to increase the SGA_MAX_SIZE but the spfile is present as part of ASM file system.
    please let me know the steps for changing SGA_MAX_SIZE in spfile under ASM system.
    Thanks!

    SPfile is on ASM, that is not the problem.
    You can use "ALTER SYSTEM SET.... SCOPE=SPFILE", when you use spfile
    SQL> show parameter spfile
    SQL> alter system set SGA_MAX_SIZE=xxxx scope=spfile;After that shutdown/startup database...
    Oh don't forget to change SGA_TARGET as well
    SQL> alter system set sga_target=xxxxx

  • Problems changing colour using Graphics class in java.awt

    Hi,
    The problem only happens when more than two images are on a panel. In this case, I have to strings that are drawn. The first drawn string is called "A" the second drawn string is called "B". However, when i change the colour of "B" to let's say Red, the panel erases the letter "B" and insteads changes "A" to red. How can I fix this so that when the user chooses the colour red it changes the colour of the latest drawn string and not the first one. please help!!!!
    import java.awt.*;
    public class StringPanel extends GBPanel
         private String shape = "clear", str;
         private int x, y;
         private Color color = Color.black;
         public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
              super.paintComponent(g);
              g.setColor (color);
              if(shape.equalsIgnoreCase("draw string"))
                   g.setColor(color);
                   g.drawString(str, x, y);
              else if (shape.equalsIgnoreCase("exit"))
                   System.exit(0);
         public void drawCurve(Color color)
         this.color = color;
         repaint();
         public void drawString(String shape, String str, int x, int y)
              this.shape = shape;
              this.str = str;
              this.x = x;
              this.y = y;
              repaint();
         public void drawString1(String shape, String str, int x, int y)
              Graphics g = getGraphics();
              g.setColor(color);
              if (shape.equalsIgnoreCase("draw string"))
                   g.setColor(color);
                   g.drawString(str, x, y);
              else
                   repaint();
    }

    well, as I said, I can't remember what the update method thing was for... I think it was related to not clearing the screen first.
    Anyway, if you maintain a list of objects that should be drawn and then in the paintComponent method, loop thru the list of objects and redraw them, it will work. Then you change the state of an object and call repaint. When you are going to change color, you need to, in effect, redraw the entire affected area. Now this can be done partially with clipping, but it's complicated to deal with that. So the simplest way is just redraw everything on repaint.

  • Problem changing the location of multiple users home directories...

    I've just set up a new entry level model iMac for my Mum. Without getting into a discussion about the benefits or otherwise of doing so, I partitioned the hard disk into two with the first partition for the system and the second a scratch disk for files etc. I set up two users, one for my Mum and one for my younger brother. I then copied the users folder across to the scratch disk and in advanced options in the users list set each account's home folder to the relevant user on the scratch disk. This is the same set up as I have on my own system and with which I have no problems and which runs well and cleanly. I have only one account on my system. However on the iMac, the second user (my brother) is unable to write to the new home directory. Downloads don't work and preferences including right click for magic mouse, dock etc are forgotten instantly. It seems there's a permissions issue.
    I've set the machine up this way in order to keep all their files separate from the system after their last Mac got very bogged down. I expected it to work in exactly the same way as my own. Does anyone know how to successfuly set up both user accounts in this way?
    Any advice would be much appreciated...

    how exactly did you copy the home directories? did you do it using drag and drop in finder from one account? then the copied home directories both are owned by that account and the permissions need to be changed. please clarify if that's what you did.
