Quick question about data replication

Hi all,
We have 9i database running on Sun solaris. Can we make a copy of this database on another server (backup and restore) and then apply archive logs from the databaser to its copy to keep the copy current.
I know Oracle has solution like Standby database for this but we need this a temporary solution for few months until we go to 10g/11g.
Please let me know if I am not clear or any other info. is required to answer this.
Thanks & Regards,

That is what a Scripted Standby is -- not using DataGuard.
You setup scripts to push/move/copy archivelogs from the Primary server to the Standby server (or you use log_archive_dest_2 to have the archivelogs written to the standby via RFS, with a listener and the database instance in MOUNT mode on the standby).
On the standby, you have a script that periodically "wakes up" (or is awakened by a process on the Primary which has pushed new archivelogs) and then issues a RECOVER but does NOT do an OPEN. It then shuts down after having applied the last archivelog received.
I don't have a script ready but did do this even in Oracle7. (with additional logic to check CHANGE# or SEQUENCE# and also do Checksum comparisons of the ArchiveLogs).
A google search will return a number of suggestions.

  • A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

    Hello ,
    I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3  for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
    - I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
    Thanks Ubergeeks,
    Guy

    Hi Guy
    You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because  a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
    For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

  • QUICK QUESTION ABOUT PORTS

    Hi, I have a quick question about port forwarding/mapping. My question, lets say I am running MSN messenger, who's ports are 6880-6900. But lets say I am running a torrent application or something else that requires those ports. If both applications were running at the same time, would this cause interference with them on the same ports or now. Thanks
    Nathan

    Normally, only one application can listen to a specific port number at a time. If MSN is grabbing those 21 ports then your torrent app won't be able to run.
    However, most apps don't work that way - even if they use multiple ports, they don't use them all at the same time, so MSN might use 6880 when it starts up, leaving the others open for other applications to use if needed.
    Only experimentation will answer that one.

  • Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

     

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

  • I have a question about Data Rates.

    Hello All.
    This is a bit of a noob question I'm sure. I don't think I really understand Data Rates and how it applies to Motion... therefore I'm not even sure what kind of questions to ask. I've been reading up online and thought I would ask some questions here. Thanks to all in advance.
    I've never really worried about Data Rates until now. I am creating an Apple Motion piece with about 15 different video clips in it. And 1/2 of them have alpha channels.
    What exactly is Data Rate? Is it the rate in which video clip data is read (in bits/second) from the Disc and placed into my screen? In Motion- is the Data Rate for video only? What if the clip has audio? If a HDD is simply a plastic disc with a dye read by "1" laser... how come my computer can pull "2" files off the disc at the same time? Is that what data transfer is all about? Is that were RAM comes into play?
    I have crunched my clips as much as I can. They are short clips (10-15seconds each). I've compressed them with the Animation codec to preserve the Alpha channel and sized them proportionally smaller (320x240). This dropped their data rate significantly. I've also taken out any audio that was associated with them.
    Is data rate what is slowing my system down?
    The data rates are all under 2MBs. Some are as low as 230Kbs. They were MUCH higher. However, my animation still plays VERY slowly.
    I'm running a 3GigRam Powerbook Pro 2.33GHz.
    I store all my media on a 1TB GRaid Firewire 800 drive. However for portability I'm using a USB 2 smartdisk external drive. I think the speed is 5200rpm.
    I'm guessing this all plays into the speed at which motion can function.
    If I total my data rate transfer I get somewhere in the vicinity of 11MBs/second. Is that what motion needs for it to play smoothly a 11MBs/second data connection? USB 2.0 is like what 480Mbs/second. So there is no way it's going to play quickly. What if I played it from my hard drive? What is the data rate of my internal HDD?
    I guess my overall question is.
    #1. Is my thinking correct on all of these topics? Do my bits, bytes and megs make sense. Is my thought process correct?
    #2. Barring getting a new machine or buying new hardware. What can I do to speed up this workflow? Working with 15 different video clips is bogging Motion down and becoming frustrating to work with. Even if only 3-4 of the clips are up at a time it bogs things down. Especially if I throw on a glow effect or something.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    -Fraky

    Data rate DOES make a difference, but I'd say your real problem has more to do with the fact that you're working on a Powerbook. Motion's real time capabilities derive from the capability of the video card. Not the processor. Some cards do better than others, but laptops are not even recommended for running Motion.
    To improve your workflow on a laptop will be limited, but there are a few things that you can try.
    Make sure that thumbnails and previews are turned off.
    Make sure that you are operating in Draft Mode.
    Lower the display resolution to half, or quarter.
    Don't expect to be getting real time playback. Treat it more like After Effects.
    Compressing your clips into smaller Animations does help because it lowers the data rate, but you're still dealing with the animation codec which is a high data rate codec. Unfortunately, it sounds necessary in your case because you're dealing with alpha channels.
    The data rate comes into play with your setup trying to play through your USB drive. USB drives are never recommended for editing or Motion work. Their throughput is not consistent enough for video work. a small FW drive would be better, though your real problem as I said is the Powerbook.
    If you must work on the powerbook, then don't expect real-time playback. Instead, build your animation, step through it, and do RAM previews to view sections in real time.
    I hope this helps.

  • Quick Question re Data Source

    Hi
    I have a quick question re datasource login.
    I havent touched my Crystal Reports for about a year. Since I created the reports (which users have been using through Crystal Reports server) I have changed my PC.
    I need to make a change in the formulas of the reports so I have reinstalled Crystal Reports 11 onto my PC and opened the reports. The forumula change is simple but I am having a nightmare with the data source login. The report runs against an SQL database. From memory all I did the last time was create an ODBC connection on my PC (which used the the SQL login sa account) and configured the reports to use that ODBC connection. When I open the report it asks me for the data source location which I tell it to use the one I created and the report runs fine.
    If I close Crystal Reports and and then re-open, I press F5 to run the report and it gain asks me for the data source credentials.
    Any ideas, I'm sure it is something simple I am missing?
    Thanks

    Guys
    Thanks for your help
    Ive managed to fix it but not really sure how although I'm sure a few of the things you have mentioned is what I have done.
    I basically restored the reports from last nights backup (before I did the changes), re-did the changes and saved and now it seems  to work. I think the difference here is that I had created the odbc connection prior to changing the reports - if that makes sense?
    What I would like to do is fully understand how this data source connection works.
    Don, when I open the report now and hit f5 the report presents me with the parameters and not the database login screen as it was doing before - how is this? What credentials is it using? The SQL sa account (which I configured the ODBC connection to use) or is it my domain account of which I assume permissions for this account must be set on the actual SQL database?
    As you and Jeff suggested when I look at the datasource connection screen it shows "trusted Connection: 1" - what does this mean and how is this configured, have I configured this in Crystal somewhere?
    Thanks

  • Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

    Hi there,
    I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
    Just a couple of quick questions.
    1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file.  Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead? 
    If so, should I delete the library and start again?  (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
    - a kind of sub-question to this one:  some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD.  Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes?  Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
    2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes.  The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes.  When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes?  Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
    Cheers,

    The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count.  Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
    A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder.  By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
    Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media.  All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
    Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
    You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.

  • Quick Question about Cisco 3560 and the Web Device Manager

    Alright, I have a quick question that I am curious about but I haven't found any information
    about it.
    When I log into my Cisco 3560 using the web portal to get to the Device Manager. Below the
    diagram of the switch, then under the Dashboard there is section called Switch
    Health, Port Utilization.
    Under the Switch Health there is Bandwidth Used, Packet Error. Those two options just sit
    at zero and do not move. The Port tilization graph is also sitting at zero.
    Is there a way to make them functional?

    Anyone notice performance increase or decrease of their HD when using the nVidia IDE SW drivers?  particularly with a 74GB Raptor?  I've also heard of burner issues when installing the IDE SW but have not used my burner yet.

  • Quick question about sim transfer

    Hi all,
    I have a quick question and hopefully one of you guys would be able to help me. My friend purchased his 3g iphone today and hes giving me his old iphone. I currently have a blackjack and I wanted to take the sims card from the blackjack and put into the original iphone. Will the iphone work with my sims card? It is an older sims card, says 64k on it. If not, would I have to bring it into at&t and get it activated w/a different sims card? Hopefully all this isnt confusing. Thanks for any help. Cheers!

    You're welcome.
    I guess that also means I would have to upgrade to the 20 dollar data plan without the text messages as well?
    The unlimited data plan for the first generation iPhone still costs $20/mo and includes 200 SMS. The only thing you need to get from an at&t store is a new SIM card. Take the iPhone with you telling them what you plan on doing and they should give you a new SIM card at no cost.
    You will activate this iPhone with iTunes on your computer. If you are an existing subscriber, your calling plan will transfer to the iPhone, and any existing data plan you are using with your current phone will be cancelled. If you are an existing subscriber, your only selection will be the $20/mo unlimited data plan which includes 200 SMS, and you can select 1,500 SMS for an additional $10/mo or have unlimited SMS for an additional $20/mo.

  • IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

    Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
    1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
    2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
    3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
    4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
    Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
    Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
    Thanks.

    As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
    http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
    You can also present your songs like this...
    http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
    This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
    A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
    iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

  • Quick question about Quicktime media keys.......

    I had a question about encoding video and media keys. It seems to me that the only codec that allows you to encode it with a media key is Sorenson (Sorenson 3 I think). Why are they the only ones that are enabling that in their codecs? Is it kind of a dying technology or practice? I've experimented with Sorenson 3 and Sorenson Squeeze trials and, even though it looks ok, it simply doesn't stack up to others like Apple's H.264 or open-source x264 or even Xvid. I guess I wish there were a way to be able to use media key options with all the new H.264 codecs. Is it possible to do that, either with Xcode or AppleScript? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    QuickTime has supported 'media keys" since version 3 but you can only add them using the third party software.
    You would be better served by contacting Sorenson and asking them about their support for newer codecs.

  • Quick Question about fade effect

    Quick Question:
    If I wanted to add a Fade Effect from one state to another
    when a button is pressed.
    How would I do that within the code?

    fader...;
    fader.play();
    or listen for currentStateChanging event and write the same
    similar code.
    or define transitions from one state to another like:
    <mx:Transition id="toOneOnly" fromState="*"
    toState="OneOnly">
    <mx:Sequence id="t1" targets="{[p2]}">

    Hey,
    I would like to use the "transition from one state to
    another", but if you can explain each part for me that would be
    helpful.
    If you can comment on each line of that code that would help

  • Quick question about showing drive space

    Hi,
    Just got a quick query about showing remaining drive space on the desktop.
    Before I wiped my Pismo and reinstalled Tiger (bad kernel panic), my hard drive and any other connected drives (pen drive, iPod, iDisk, etc) showed up on my Desktop with the name and drive capacity and remaining space underneath the icon.
    Now I've reinstalled, the drive capacity and remaining space don't show up on the Desktop, and I can't find how to turn it on. I've been through Preferences several times and can't find an obvious switch. Have I missed something? I'm running Tiger 10.4.8 with the machine spec below.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Quick question about iMovie

    I have a question about iMovie. I've used Final Cut Pro before using iMovie, and FCP allowed the user to play two video/images on top of each other. You could play with the opacity and the duration very easily.
    I'm wondering, can you do the same thing with iMovie? I'll be VERY disappointed if you can't do it.
    iBook G4

    Hi
    And You could take a look at the plug-ins to iMovie.
    - Stupendous software http://www.stupendous-software.com
    - GeeThree http://www.geethree.com
    - cf/x. http://www.imovieplugins.com
    and possibly more.
    QT-pro can do this as said above - but You need to be very precise.
    But I would do this in FCP and then export as QT.mov to do the rest in iMovie
    if necessary.
