Can I choose my own PIN?

hey every one
i want to ask if i can order blackberry with choosing my own pin code !
is it possible ?
thanx ^_^
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No you cannot. You can see if the carrier can give the option of what devices they have in stock, but PINs are on the device itself as an identification number.

Can I choose my own Triple Points Day?

Question as the subject. Is that possible to choose my own triple points day? If it is possible, how? Thanks.

Hello gu015,
I hope that you had a fun Memorial Day weekend.
The only time that 3X points would be available to a member is if we have an ongoing promotional offer, and while we have had "Choose Your Points" promotional offers in the past, a physical coupon was required that would have been sent via email. As of this moment, we have a promotion that is offering 3X points with the purchase of select Canon or Nikon cameras or lenses on BestBuy.com.
With that having been said, you cannot simply choose any random day to earn 3X points. I would strongly encourage you to keep an eye on your email account for My Best Buy™ related emails, including any spam/junk folders. You may also want to periodically login to your My Best Buy™ account and check the forum for program related promotions, as we tend to have new offers each week.
Thank you for posting to the forum and for being a My Best Buy™ member!

Rename RAC-Instances in 11.2.0.2

Hi,
I have two Nodes RAC-Systems Version 11.2.0.2 on Linux Redhat 5.4 X86-64.
+ Node names stb, dwh
+ Database name : RAC
+ Instance-Name 1 : RAC1 on stb
+ Instance-Name 2 : RAC2 on dwh
After executing the following steps:
+ Delete Instance RAC2 with dbca on dwh
+ Convert Instance RAC1 to Instance RACONE_1 (RAC one node)
+ Relocate Instance RACONE_1 to dwh
+ Convert Instance RACONE_1 (RAC one node) to RACONE ( normal RAC )
+ Add Instance RACONE2 to stb
Since yesterday after shutdowning the corresponding instance I have tried unsuccessfully to rename the instance RACONE2 resp. RACONE to the previous names RAC1 & RAC2 with srvctl modify on the node with the running instance.
Can any expert help me?
Thanks

Note: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16795/srvctladmin.htm#i1009714 shows:
srvctl modify instance -d db_unique_name -i instance_name
{-n node_name | -z}
Notes:
* You cannot use this command to rename or relocate a running instance.
* This command is only available with Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC.

Hi,
+ srvctl stop instance -d -i RACONE2
+ srvctl modify instance -d RAC -i RAC1 -n stb
Here I have the problem:
I don't know how to change the name RACONE2 to RAC1 and RACONE to RAC2.
Do you know the answer?Never tried to change the name of the instance in RAC 11.2.
But in earlier versions I always perform the following steps to update OCR after changing INSTANCE_NAME in Database (SPFILE).
We needs to invoke SRVCTL to remove and again add the database information to OCR.
e.g
*****before the rename*****
srvctl stop database -d
srvctl remove instance -d -i
srvctl remove instance -d -i
(repeat above command for each instance as needed)
*****and after the rename*****
srvctl add instance -d -i -n
(repeat above command for each instance as needed)Regards,

Can I tailor my own Sky package?

Hi. I feel I am paying for a lot of channels I don't watch. Several sport channels, music channels etc. Essentially all I need is a couple of the movie channels, sky sports 4 for the golf, disney jr and maybe sky atlantic - all channels in HD. Particularly would like to lose sky sports as not a huge football fan and feel I'm paying others to watch the premiership football. Can I choose my own pack rather than the whole bundle?

T hanksHave you considered NOW TV? It lets you have just the main entertainment channels for, I think, £6.99 per month and that includes atlantic. You can also buy one-off week passes to sky sports to watch the golf on SS4.

How can I choose another name for Game Center ? (not a nick)

Hi XxCarrisxX,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are asking. If you are talking about changing to or using a different Apple ID in Game Center, you may find the following article helpful:
Sign in to your Game Center account using your Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID or another Apple account, tap or click Create New Account to create an account to use with Game Center.
You can change the account you are signed into by:
iOS: Tap Settings > Game Center.
OS X: Click the Me tab in the Game Center app and click on your Account.
Apple Support: Using Game Center

However, make sure you are aware of the following:
Note: Please note each Apple ID has its own associated scores, achievements, and friends.
Apple IDs are also tied to your other Apple services, and therefore should not be created lightly.

Which file decide instance name in RAC 10g ?

Which file decide instance name in RAC 10g ?
How does RAC know which instance should start from which machine?
Thanks.

The spfile is NOT the correct answer, actually.
1. The instance name for any Oracle instance, whether in a RAC or not, is derived from the value for the ORACLE_SID parameter which is in force at the time the startup command is issued. If you were to:
export ORACLE_SID=SALES
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup...you would just have created an instance called SALES.
2. The spfile (or init.ora if you're not using an spfile) contains a parameter called INSTANCE_NAME. That defaults to whatever ORACLE_SID is set to as an environment variable when the instance is started, hence point 1 above. But you can force an instance to acquire a non-SID name by deliberately setting it to something different. That's unusual to do, though, except in a RAC context where you want to subvert the default load balancing mechanism.
2b. The spfile (or init.ora) also contains a parameter called DB_NAME -but that is the name of the database, not the name of the instance, and is therefore irrelevant for the purposes of working out how instances get their names,
3. Neither of the above answers has got anything to do with RAC knowing what instance runs on which machine. That is the job of the Oracle Cluster Registry file (OCR), for which you have to provide about 100MB of space on a shared hard drive during the RAC installation itself.
You populate that file by running DBCA to create your RAC instances (and DBCA then automatically updates the OCR to record the fact that it created instance X1 on Node A and X2 on Node B, and therefore that's what will happen in the future unless you change things).
Or you can update the OCR yourself by using the SRVCTL utility. You'd do something like: srvctl add instance -d DB1 -i X3 -n C (add an instance called X3 to run on Node C as part of database DB1).
A little more details about the OCR is available in Section 13 of this article, for example: http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/26?page=0%2C5

Identical database & instance names in Oracle 11g R2 RAC

Hi ,
     We are migrating our EBS 11i (11.5.10 CU 2) and oracle 11gr2 (11.2.0.3) database (database only) which is currently on Solaris to Linux. Currently the database is NON-RAC and as a part of the migration we are converting it in to a 5 Node RAC. A lot of third party interfaces connected to this environment are using hard coded database name. Unfortunately due to the project time lines it's impossible to change those applications within the migration timeline. In order to ensure that they don't break we are thinking of keeping one instance name same as database name so those applications can continue to function without any change to their code. We are aware that this would compromise on fail over capabilities for those applications but we are ok with that.
This what we have in mind: Create 5 PROD instance named as PROD, PROD1,PROD2, PROD3 & PROD4. PROD being the name of the database also. I would like to know:
1) Is this configuration allowed i.e., is it ok to have one instance with the same name as database?
2) We will be creating a 5 node Data gaurd environment for this so what will be the impact of such a naming on it?
3) Since it's an EBS environment will there be any issues with application configuration?   Our application architecture will be as below:
6 application nodes - Two for concurrent managers, two for forms & web & two external nodes
The two CM app nodes will be tied to two database instances using Services
Remaining app nodes will connect to the remaining 3 instances once again using services.
We will be configuring services using "vip" instead of scan names.
4) What will be the impact if the node having the instance name same as database name goes down?
5) Any other areas to worry about with such a configuration say like cluster services, 3rd partyinterfaces/applications?
Please let me know if you have any idea of such a configuration.
regards
pramod

Brian, rchem & Martin thanks for your responses. Appreciate it much. I was thinking about the service alternative but unfortunately I understand from my customer that their applications have hard coded database (used as a instance name) name. All they are saying is that their applications are using instance name instead of database name without providing much details on how it's being used. I just know that there 180 applications... Oracle & non Oracle based in which the instance name is hard coded, but haven't got answers to my questions on how it's hard coded i.e., is it being pulled from the database using a hard coded query like "select instance_name from v$instance" or is it a part of some variable in the script/application etc., and what it's being used for (later) within the application. Answers to those question will help in deciding what should be the right strategy but since I am short of time I thought of this and wanted to know if anybody has implemented or come across a similar architecture.
I am creating services and using them in my EBS application ifile thereby avoiding SID but agree with you on the node failure part as I haven't tested this new set up yet.
Martin,
          You are right, they are using the database name as a SID in their application hence the above need. My cluster version is 11.2.0.4.0 (both Active & Software versions). The source database on solaris is 11.2.0.3 Non RAC, it's going to be upgraded to 11.2.0.4 before conversion/migration hence I have installed & created a 11.2.04 RAC environment as a part of POC/Load testing.

How to change DB & Instance name on RAC

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me how can i change my database name along with the two instances running on the RAC server?
Any ideas......
Regards,
MB

You can rename database by creating control file as well , like we use to do in single instance database.
1) Shutdown node 2
2) Run following command on node 1
alter database backup control file to trace ;
3) shutdown database on node 1
4) copy trace file created in step 2 to file crctl.sql (say) . Edit crctl.sql and set database name what u want to set.
5) edit init<sid>.ora and change database name
6) startup nomount and run crctl.sql
7) Startup database in both node
8) Change tnsnames.ora and listener.ora ( if needed)
9) config srvctl
srvctl remove database -d <old_database_name>
srvctl add database -d <new_db_name> -o $ORACLE_HOME
srvctl add instance -d <new_db_name> -i <instance name on node 1> -n Node1
srvctl add instance -d <new_db_name> -i <instance name on node 2> -n Node2

Steps to rename RAC E-biz instance name.

Hi,
I have a RAC ORacle Apps R12 database on 2 nodes namele .36 server and .37 server.
I have changed this database name using metalink doc id Changing DBNAME and DBID of RAC Database Using NID [ID 464922.1]
where i have only changed the database name and not DBID
But after following above ID only DB name ot changed and not the instance name.Now i also want to change the instance name.
So,what steps should be followed to do it.
and after changing instance name,do we need to run autoconfig on database and application..
Please help as this is urgent.

Can i do this (use a counter "i" in instance name)

hello,
i have 5 Dynamic Text object in my scene and i need to do a treatement for them (compare each one to the other)
my Text instance names are :
to0,to1,to2,to3,to4
and their variable names are :
t0,t1,t2,t3,t4
what i need to do is :
if (t0>t1) then to0 will move to the place of to1 and to1 will move to the place of to0
till now i have no problem to compare 2 elements and change their place but what if i have a large number or an unknow number of elements , i know that i can (should) a for loop but the problem is that i can't do this
for examle let's say that i have 10 elements :
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
          if(t[i]>t[i+1]){
            exchange(to[i],to[i+1]);
//this code work perfectly when i work with an array
i hope that you understand my problem, i don't need someone to tell me how to apply a sort in a table all i want is the ability to use a counter on an instance/variable name of a MovieClip,DynamicText,etc...
thank you

If you follow what I offered in your other message, it would be something like...
for(i=0;i<10;i++){
          if(t[i]>t[i+1]){
            exchange(this["to"+i], this["to"+(i+1));
