Rebuild database hanging at 100%

I'm using a 17" macbook pro that's about 18 months old and I'm running Snow Leopard.
I've updated Aperture to 3.1.1 but I'm having an odd problem.
As of last night, when I attempt to access a library I get a message saying that the library should be rebuilt. I accept that option, a progress bar appears and after about ten minutes reaches 100%. At that point nothing at all happens, I even left it in that state over night only to find nothing changed this morning.
The only way to finish the process is to force quit Aperture and when it relaunches the process begins again with the 'you should rebuild' message.
What concerns me even more is that I get exactly the same message even when I attempt to launch a Vault backup instead, even though that Vault was created when everything was working properly. The Vault is stored on an external HDD.
I've tried deleting the Aperture preferences and then tried deleting Aperture and reinstalling (then updated to 3.1.1). I've repaired permissions and repaired the HDD without any issues arising.
Does anyone have any tips?

How did you determine that force-quitting was "the only way to finish the process"?
Does anyone have any tips?
Let Aperture run longer. Close all apps, be sure to set your laptop to not turn off/go to sleep/shut down the drives, connect it to a power source, and try the rebuild option again.
I recently rebuilt a (very large) Library -- it took about 24 hr. During much of this time Aperture was reported as using c. 90% of the processors' capacity (and the CPU temp soared).
IME, force-quitting Aperture is never a good step.

Primary and Physical Standby databases hanging on sqlplus shell command...

I am primarily a java developer that has had the task of oracle dba thrust upon me due to circumstances that are beyond my control. In the QA lab we have two oracle 10 g release 1 instances running. They set up in a dataguard configuration: one is the primary and the other is in a physical standby.
Last week I noticed that the disk space on the primary database was at 100%. After some investigation I discovered that a good deal of the files taking up space on the box were log files and the best solution that I could think of would be to delete all old archive files. So I deleted the old archive files that were at least two weeks old using RMAN.
During this week the database started to shutdown automatically. The QA associate restarted the database twice using the ‘STARTUP’ command from sqlplus. Additionally, the standby database began to have issues: when login in to sqlplus the application would just hang: no ‘SQL” prompt or anything. Finally today the primary database has also begun to hang in a similar manner.
I have looked at many of the trace files and alert logs but haven’t been able to really discern what the real problem is with the database and the proper rectification for the database. Does anyone have a clue into what is going on? If someone could even point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Guessing that your flash recovery area is full, archiving is stopped so the instance appears to hang.
Do you see messages like so in the alert log:
You have following choices to free up space from flash recovery area:
1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
   then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
   BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.
3. Add disk space and increase db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter to
   reflect the new space.
4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
   system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
   DELETE EXPIRED commands.

Shutting down database hangs

Dear Gurus,
I m facing a database hang issue while performing the scheduled offline backup.I m able to take the online backup.When the backup starts , the database starts to shutdown.When checked in the log of backup it shows in tail as shutting down database.When checked for user trace , it shows message as "Attempting to kill pid xxxxxxx" and keeps on retrying for n no. of times.Then I have to manually kill the backup and restart the application.Then again try for an offline backup.This time it happens smoothly.This activity we did for couple of weeks .But now from past 3 days even after restarting the backup, it goes to hang mode.In other words unable to perform the backup activity.
The message had been raised to SAP from almost 15 days at very high.They every time ask the logs , and say that the data in log is nt providing much info for analysing the issue or cause of hang.Also enabled the traces of 10400 for trace level 1 ,10 some more traces also.But still the output is not helping even them to analyse the root cause.
Its my observation that this issue is occuring only on ABAP+JAVA systems(CRM &BIW)not in ECC.We are on oracle database 10.2.0.0.4 with latest patch set as suggested by SAP for the same issue.
This issue is h
Please suggest me at the earliest.As need to resolve this at the earliest.
Bye.

Oracle 10g Database Hanging twice a day

My database server has 10g with MS 2003 server as OS.
Twice a day the database hangs and does disconnects all the users from local and remote locations.
Current SYSTEM tablespace has a size of 470 MB and is 98.86 in use, when I try to add another datafile as 'SYSTEM02.DBF' in the same path where other system data files are, I kept this operation running during weekends but datafile was not added.
Has it anything to do with the MS 2003 server no. of users.
Any other suggestions for SYSTEM Tablespace to be free.
Please reply.
Thanks

Database Hanging

Hi,
I have Oracle database 10g my database is hanging and i want to check what locks occur on which table how can i work on this database hanging process.Kindly help...because i am new for this i need good procedure to face this problem..

If db hangs there could be a lot of possibilities..
eg. no more space for archive log or datafiles
Locks on table are different. You can look on alertlog and start investigating..

Oracle 8i database hangs for the same amount during JDBC calls.

Hi all,
I have a Oracle 8i database on solaris. The database hangs for exactly 61 seconds for a random jdbc call from my Java application, i mean there is no particular pattern or a JDBC call for which the database hangs. If i choose to wait for 61 seconds it returns the results from the database but if i try to access the database with another query(SQL Plus) the first query starts executing immediately. Is that a database configuration problem or some thing else.
And i also get some exceptions occasionally( Maximum Open Cursors exception). Are these two related?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
Hugo Victor

I have uninstalled Oracle 8i.
Removed all the services from Windows services by deleting corresponding registry entries and deleted the Oracle folder.
I have reinstalled Oracle 8i, this time i changed the name of global database to oracledb.
I channged the tnsnames.ora file from DevSuite appropriately as:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mscserver)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORACLEDB)
Still it can't login using scott/tiger authentication.
What may be the problem? Please help.

Rebuild Database did not reduce the database size

I just completed a rebuild database. The rebuild completed much quicker than anticipated and in the end the did not reduce in size.
This is my first rebuild and since original installation I have deleted a number of masters. From my understanding thumbnails and previews are not deleted when the master is deleted. In order to delete the thumbnails and previews the db must be rebuilt. Is this correct?
The db is over 31.1gb. The rebuild took approx 10 minutes and when completed the db size was still 31.1gb. There was a message during the rebuild that read "Recovering projects". I was expecting to see stats showing previews and thumbnails being generated in the activity window but don't see it. Has the db been rebuilt?
Thanks for any assistance.

Rebuilding the database is for disaster-recovery, not file maintenance. I certainly wouldn't do it unless something was fundamentally broken and the application didn't run.
"rebuilding" the database seems to do the following:
(1) remove the database file completely (not even to the trash, it destroys the database utterly)
(2) run through the plist files and reconstruct a brand-new database from them all
I checked this (on an empty library) using hard-links from the commandline, and step (1) above scared me sufficiently that I'd only rebuild the database as an absolute last resort.
Now, 31GB seems a lot for a database that only took 10 minutes to rebuild - are you sure you're not telling us the size of the library (to find the database size, right-click on the library and select view-package-contents, then open the 'Aperture.aplib' folder and find the size of the 'Library.apdb' file. That's the file you're changing when you 'rebuild database'.)
If you're telling us the size of the entire aperture library instead, then that size will be completely dominated by the master RAW files you've imported. I'd guess your library will be less than 10MB.
My understanding is that previews are deleted (since they're stored as separate files alongside the master image, if you look in the folder hierarchy), but thumbnails aren't. The thumbnails are aggregated together into one-file-per-project (presumably for speed of access), and I'd guess the space is reclaimed for future use, but the file doesn't get any smaller. That's a classic trade-off for speed-of-access, and users like us are normally very keen on things being fast

What to do when database hang

Hi all,
May I know what to do when database hangs after shutdown immediate command perform? Can I use kill process command to stop Oracle process?

Hello,
see documentation for details of immediate-clause:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/start.htm#sthref589
You can do an shutdown abort instead, but then sql is terminated. You can read details here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/start.htm#sthref595

Is something i am missing or there is some different steps.

This many not be a case of process hang. So check with LEVEL 10 .
Still if you are getting the same error than , you need to contact oracle support.

Rebuilding database in Aperture

Rebuilding database in Aperture causes "Recovered Folder" to appear in project, even with Aperture & Mac trashes empty. Tried deleting "recovered" images and emptying trashes then rebuilding but it has the same effect, another Recovered Folder.

I have. It was related to a bug I'd discovered a few years ago. Rebuilding the database made it worse, and afterward I was warned that rebuilding could be destructive, and that it should only be done as a last resort. So be careful.

Audio Bin - Select unused - Delete - Hangs on 100% CPU for long time

Hi
I am running Logic Studio 9.0.2 on OS X 10.5.8 on a Mac Pro. Logic was upgraded from version 7.
In Audio Bin and "Select Unused" and then "Delete", the application might hang on 100% CPU for hours on large projects.
Anyone with an idea of what the problem might be? This was not a problem i Logic Pro 7.
Thanks!
GD

I have this same problem, though I'm on 10.5.7. I was hoping maybe updating the OS would help but apparently not. I also get very slow file-selection windows sometimes, like when I go to bounce a file. Navigating to a specific folder is painfully slow. Would like to hear if any Snow Leopard users are experiencing this.

Rebuilding Databases for indexing

Hi,
The question below is on rebuilding databases.
I have the intermedia to index xml documents .The encoding of the xml documents is UTF-8.
The Oracle database has a character set as "WE8ISO8859P1".
The tokens do not get indexed for 2-byte characters like i, g, etc.
Oracle support has suggested that the Database itself be rebuilt as UTF-8 to enable the encoding.
Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to rebuild the database Iam working on, without affecting the other applications running on ORACLE. Note that my application has a seperate schema.
In other words, can the rebuilding to UTF-8 be done on Database level for a specific schema or does it have to be universal.
Thanks
Syed

It is entirely your choice is you want to use one schema or multiple schemas, personally I prefer using multiple schemas as it makes life easier for recovery and problem solving.
Cheers

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset the iPhoto preferences and try dragging again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
