Recommendations for userva option in Windows 2003

Hello,
we are running ERP2005 on Windows 2003 32Bit and Oracle 10.2.
We activated the /3GB option in the boot.ini
Due to problems we wan't to activate the userva option.
Unfortunalely i can't find any recommendation for the value of userva.
Please give me an advice.
Kind regards
Mathias Dieckhoff

well it is as Eric already mentioned:
1st recommendation: Go for 64 Bit!
2nd recommendation:
decrease the user address space carefully if you have to.
start with /userva=2900, if the problem still happens change /userva step by step to lower values each time evaluating wether the new value has fixed the situation.
the problem with /userva is, that it shortens the virtual address space (addressable memory for normal applications). with /userva=2700 your application is able to address 2.7 GB of virtual memory, the remaining 1.3 GB can only be used in kernel mode (operating system, drivers etc). In this case (/userva=2700) your application (ABAP Report, other memory consuming programs) can only utilize 300 MB less memory compared to /userva not set.
Those ABAP reports currently utilizing 95 percent of the available address space will no longer run when /userva is set to 2700.
It is much less pain to run on 64 Bit OS - you don't have to play around with all these funny parameters.

Any options for using Captivate on Windows 2003?

I am new to Captivate but I must get a demo done by Friday. I
installed on Windows 2003 where the software I am demo-ing is
installed. Now I find that 2003 is not supported. Can anyone
suggest (quickly!) how I can use Captivate to do my demo?
I am not savvy at all with demo software, so please be
specific. Thank you!

Hi again Janise
Yes, as long as you can display what you need on the XP
desktop, you should be good to go.
Keep in mind that your best result will likely be obtained by
creating the voiceover as a separate process and not while you are
recording the initial movie.
Also, you may discover that the remote destop won't paint
quite fast enough so Captivate will record "blank screens" here and
there. Where you notice this happening, press the Print Screen key
to force additional screen captures. It's always easier to delete
unwanted slides than it is to re-create them when needed.
Cheers... Rick

Need installation document for OEM 11G on windows 2003(32 bit).

Hi,
As a part of my project, i need to install the OEM 11G on windows 2003(32 bit) machines and targets also windows 2003. there i need to install again agent 11g(11.1.0.1) and target DB is 10.2.0.4.
I have done the installation of OMS successfully and installed the agent 11g on target as well. i am facing challeges in configuring the database from OMS. i tried couple of options but nothing is working out. Finally i decided to cross check the installation procedure once again with the previously completed ones. could any body share the same.
in breif i have done following.
1) installed RDBMS 11G on OMS server.
2) insalled java 1.6.18.
3) installed WLS 10.3.2
4) installed the OMS 11G(11.1.0.1)
On agent side i installed agent 11g(11.1.0.1) to monitor a database which is of 10.2.0.4 version.
agent,listeners are reflecting on OMS with up status but DB is showing as "metric collection error". i tried all the possible options like removing and reconfiguring and agent clearing and agent restart etc...but no use. also i in the Oracle installation document, they mentioned as we need to set user equavelence between OMS and agent server but not sure of this, which i have not done. is this compulsary?
Sorry for putting all the things in one single thread.
Thanks in-advance.
Regards
DBA.

Did you check if the database is configured in GC?
If you can't connect using sqlplus to the user dbsnmp make a connection to the database: alter user dbsnmp identified by <password> account unlock;
In GC go to Targets, All Targets select the DB concerned and hit Configure. Enter the dbsnmp user password etc. After a while you will see the result: DB shows Up (I hope)

Best practice for # of drives for Oracle on a Windows 2003 server

I need to know what the best practice is concerning the # of drives that should be built on a Windows 2003 server to ensure best performance and most effective back up and recovery, for both the application itself and the data base.
I'm not certain, but it may be only a 32 bit machine. I'll update this once I know for sure.

We are in the process of migrating our Oracle 10 database (20G) to a new maschine.
How should we configure our disks (8 in total)?
1. SAME: "Stripe and mirror everything"?
2. Doc 30286.1 "I/O tuning with different RAID configurations" and 148342.1 "Avoiding I/O disk contention" say:
database files on RAID01
redo and archive logs on RAID1
temp on RAID1
So, what is the best practice?

Very long search times from an IMac running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard when searching for files on a windows 2003 server

The issue is as follows:
The Imac is connected to the windows 2003 server via SMB type connection.
There are four sub folders in the main directory. We go to one of the sub folders in this case Server.
We go to search window and type the file name that we want to search such as test .
The choices selected for search parameters are Server for location and contains (same results if picked by file name)
Search takes roughly 6 minutes before it returns the result.
If we do the same search on the old Mac Server it will take 15 seconds to complete using same search parameters.
Any ideas on how to speed up search times to the Windows 2003 Server? I have tried going to finder preferences and removing the sharing section. That did not help.

Okay, I've....
1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
3) Shutdown the database
4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
6) Shutdown the database again
7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
8) Started up the database
And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
SQL> select instance_name
2 from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
xe
I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
CTXMGMT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.

BPC for NetWeaver OS requirement - Windows 2003 Standard vs. Enterprise

Hello BPC Expert,
I have a question in regard to the Windows Server 2003 edition for SAP BPC 7.0 for NetWeaver. On the Installation Guide of BPC NetWeaver SP03, the prerequisite for the Operating System for .NET Server component is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.
My question: will Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition work for .NET component? We have a budget concern as the Enterprise Edition will cost couple more thousands than standard.
Thank you,
Bomo

Hi,
Yes you can use the Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (32-bit and 64-bit). Shouldnt be a problem.
Thanks.

Can't find this referred to Addon: Recommendation for similar option? "It's a Firefox add-on called Web Canvas (by Methodologie).?

Dear Support team for Add-ons:
I am trying to locate this referred to addon for a Web Canvas.
Location of Referral Source:
http://www.artistcareertraining.com/storage/ACT-WebBanner2011-1.jpg
This is a paragraph from the article:
It's a Firefox add-on called Web Canvas (by Methodologie). When you add it to your Firefox web browser it superimposes a transparent grid over whatever website you're looking at that maps out the browser sizes of different kinds of users. That way you can clearly see, for example, what part of your website 50% of the users will be able to see, what part 92% of the web users will see, etc.
This is graphic given:

QUESTION: Is this available???
If not... Do you have something similar that I could addon? Any other recommendations?
Thank you for your consideration in the matter.

Recommendations for running Windows on Macbook with OSX Lion version 10.7.2?

I Just bought a new MacBook Pro, running Lion, version 10.7.2. I am looking to run some windows applications on my mac, including AutoCAD, etc. I would ideally like to install bootcamp on my MacBook, but from what i understand, Lion is only compatible with Windows 7... I have Windows XP and VMWARE Fusion that I had run on my previous MacBook, however, I am unable to install VMWARE Fusion on my new MacBook (Lion). Any recommendations for running higher-profile windows apps on a mac without having to purchase Windows7 or a new version of VMWARE? Thanks

Newer computer = newer drivers and apps. You can only run Windows 7 using Boot Camp Assistant with the newer computers. Or, you can download and install Parallels or Fusion (the most current versions work in Lion). If using Parallels or Fusion you can install XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc.
Or, you could try the free VirtualBox.

Error=2 in jre1.6.0_07 when calling cmd /c -- Windows 2003 server 5.2

Must be very simple. Although, I do not where else to check.
A java application allows opening the OS shell and executing programs. For Windows
(without further details) a "cmd /c" prefix is recomended in the config file. None
for Linux.
The application runs the shell from a path relative to its configurations file,
for which I have defined "../scripts".
Thus a .wsf script located at MyAppPath\scripts can be executed as "Cscript //NoLogo MyScript.wsf". It works OK under XP Profesional, Version 2002, Service Pack3, jre1.6.0_07, JAVA_HOME defined. The application log reports a proper application start up using Java VM 10.0b-23. and execute the shell as many times as called without any problem.
The applications works also fine for every aspect on Windows 2003 server 5.2, except for calling the os Shell. The following error is displayed:
Cannot run program "cmd /c Cscript //NoLogo Myscript.wsf" (in directory C:\MyAppPath\script"): CreateProcess error=2 the system can not find the file specified.
Of course, the file "Myscript.wsf" is there...
In both cases (XP and 2003), CompSpec is set to %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe and PATHEXT inlcudes ".WSF".
Any help will be most appreciated.

I have no experience with cscript, but by typing cscript in a command prompt i get:
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
