RE: Active locking of DB rows

Dennis,
While I agree with both Prasad Muppirala, and Thomas Mercer Hursh, I also
recognize the business requirement listed in your letter to avoid changing
other applications that use the same database tables. I can think of two
possible solutions to your dilemma:
1) Follow the path that you have described, using individual DBSessions - I
think that there is a paper by Diana Quintal of Forte that may describe a
similar scenario. It should talk about building your own router, and using
separate sessions.
2) Consider the Distributed option in the Oracle server. In this case, you
might distribute the tables to two instances, or even to two separate table
owners, and use Oracle to manage the synchronization of data. While this
may not help if the apps have real-time, up-to-the-second data needs, it
would definitely allow you to build a Forte application that is more on the
shared DBSession model, so that you would not need to change it as you
migrate other applications to Forte.
Without more review of your situation, I'm afraid I have no more
suggestions, but please feel free to contact me if you wish.
Good luck,
Brian Wilson

I have a customer who has a requirement to do active DB locking (Oracle
7.x). Their current applications are written in Oracle Forms 3.0. The
behavior in the current applications is that when a user begins to edit
information via an Oracle Forms application the underlying DB records
are write locked, thus preventing any other user from changing those
records until the first user completes their transaction. Because other
applications, not written in Forte, will be accessing the DB, we need to
use the DB locking mechanisms to manage locks (i.e. we can't change the
existing applications). Our original intent was to use shared
DBSessions that were created from a DBResource Manager at application
startup to provide access to the DB. We are willing to incur the
overhead of creating individual DBSessions as users login to the
application (each user will have an Oracle account). I've just begun
looking into possible solutions, any ideas are greatly appreciated.

  • How do i bypass activation lock on iphone 5s

    I got a Iphone 5s from my friend and its stuck on the activation lock screen i dont know the email or password and I need help

    If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If you are unable to get him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.

  • How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?

    How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!

    If you want to risk your money, fine. 
    To answer your questions
    Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
    Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
      Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
    No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
    That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
    Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
    Or what about replacing the motherboard?
    There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone.

    Yes the phone belongs to me. It was purchased from United Kingdom Vodafone to West Africa, i had to factory unlock to use any sim in it. so it belongs to me. I did the activation myself, now after updating my iphone to the latest update, it required a user id and password to activate the phone, but anytime i enter the details, it tells me the user Id is not correct but the password is correct..

  • HT201328 I purchased an iphone off ebay but because of the ios activation lock it won't alloe me to put in my own apple id it tells me to enter the previous owners apple account is there anything i can do?

    I purchased an iPhone off eBay and the phone isn't stolen or anything but it has the activation lock on it where it says "this phone is linked to an apple account (****@****.edu) I tried contacting the seller and they thought restoring the phone would remove that but its hasn't any idea what I can do or am I screwed and I need to get my money back

    The iOS activation lock is a new feature that will be introduced in iOS 7, and is currently only something that can be used as part of the iOS 7 beta. The activation lock is exactly what the name suggests, it's a lock to prevent activation. This is done so that if the device is stolen, it can't be used. There is no work around you can do on your end, the only way it can be done is for the original owner to remove this device from his "find my iPhone" settings, which he can only do by giving you his appleID login details.
    As activation lock is part of iOS 7 developer preview beta, you might get more information at the developer forums however it's more than likely you got ripped off

  • HT1920 I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none

    I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none are activating my iPhone. I have also been into the apple store and they have tried to find out the Apple ID my iPhone was using but this was not successful. The serial number of my iPhone is: C32JN641DTWF

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also removely wiped. Can Apple help me somehow?

    A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
    PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.

    Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

  • Need to turn off the activation lock, I didn't buy it or find it

    My dad bought ~50 iphone 5s for his business. He is upgrading his phone to a 6 and wants to give me his old 5. His IT guy accidentally erased the phone without disabling the icloud activation lock. My dad has too many emails and no idea of the right one for the apple ID of this particular phone.

    Take it and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

  • How did you know your idevice will be activation lock ?

    I bought used iPad mini (only the body) at present it's work well I could use my Apple ID, buy some apps and update the FW via OTA. I heard from amny person If I restore and maybe it could not work unless I do not know the username and password of the previous owener (Activation Locked). My iPad mini will be a piece of junk only.
    My question is how did I know my current iPad mini will be Activation Locked if I do the restore ? Do we have the method to check ?

    And how should I know my device was enabled the Find my Phone already ?
    The way to know would be to look in the iCloud settings to see if Find My iPhone is set. If you can't set into those settings, then it's highly probable that it's set and hence Activation Lock will be in effect.
    Because If the previous was never enable it, it should be ok from Activation lock right ?
    If you are certain that the previous owner never set up Find My iPad, then Activation Lock would not be a concern.

  • How to find out, who locked the same row

    Dears,
    I have a problem,
    sometimes our user complain that, when he tyring to make a transaction to a specific customer's Account
    its says 'Some other user access the same account, keep trying...' (like this).
    and in this response I just kill that user's session. then he can make the transaction by reconnecting.
    sometimes my solution(killing the session) can not slove this problem.it stayed even 5/6 hours long.
    in this time,i cannot find any bloking session or such a long waiting session.
    In this Scenario..
    I need to find out who(SID,SERIAL#,USERNAME) locked the same ROW (not table).
    There are many users who are locking different rows of the same table at the
    same time. I need to find the one who locked my row.
    is it possible to find out, who locked the specific customer's Account ?
    I am trying to find out by the following query but failed.
    SELECT s.SID, serial#, machine, osuser, terminal, b.object_name,
    row_wait_obj#, row_wait_file#, row_wait_block#, row_wait_row#,

  • HT1212 I lost my itouch, how do I use "activation lock" feature? How do I know if my itouch was an ios7?

    I lost my Itouch and read that if it was an ios7, that I can activate a feature that will lock it. Im not talking about the basic features of "play sound" or "lost mode" that are under the "locate my iphone" feature in icloud. I read that there is another feature called "activation lock" that only ios7 can do that prevents the thief from selling it or reseting it to factory settings.  I have my serial number so how can I find out if my lost itouch was an ios7? Thanks!

  • HT201365 Once my phone is in Lost Mode and the Activation Lock is on, what will the person who stole my phone be able to do with it? If they bring it anywhere to activate it will Apple confiscate it?

    My phone was stolen and I am just curious how this Lost Mode/Activation Lock works! I know they can't get into my phone currently, and it's off. I tracked the location to an apartment complex before they shut it off, but it didn't give the apartment number, I am hoping they turn it on again soon so I can go back and play the noise, however if I can't I am hoping they will be stupid enough to try to bring it into apple and use it or bring it into verizon. Will Apple or Verizon take the phone for me and return it to me or let them walk out with it? Any background information on similar situations or any feedback would be amazing, I feel naked without my phone.

    They won't be able to use the phone, and Apple won't be able to reactivate it for them. Only you can unlock the phone, so it's useless to them. I would doubt that Apple would be able to identify and return the phone if they are stupid enough to take it in, but I don't know for certain.

  • What is activation locked means regarding icloud? im selling my iphone 4s online and i have a buyer that is asking me to reset my icloud so he would have no problem with it when he buy it.

    im selling my phone online and i have a buyer that is asking me if the phone is not activation locked? and if im the first owner of the phone? and if he activate it will he be able to update it and will the phone work?
    i answered him that i never used my icloud cos the fact that icloud gives only 5gb free storage. im not gonna be able to sync all my data. and i told him that i reset the phone like its new. and i never updated it on iOS7 when i was using it.
    is he going to have a problem activating the phone? isnt it when you reset the phone youre pretty much have like a new device nothing is installed nothing is logged in? sorry for the ignorance.

    Follow these instructions before selling your phone to avoid any problems:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    Then confirm to the buyer that you have done all that. He/she will be safe in the knowledge that the phone is wiped and not locked or anything else.
