Recovering from an export

Hello . . . let me start by saying that I had nothing to do with getting into this situation--I'm just trying to clean up after it.
Let's say that all you have of your 9024 database is a full export. Not a full backup, just a sys level export. Don't even know what tablespace names were in the db. Then your database gets hosed.
Running htmldb 10404. What would you recommend to get back your applications? (skip to ******* to see what I am considering)
I first tried to just import the flows_010404 schema into a 10.1 database, but I got a lot of errors doing that. Not exactly sure why, but I did. Will likely go back to that approach, though.
Even though I got the errors, it seemed as if all of the tables and data made it in (but not a lot of the other objects). Not certain, but I thought I would try the following:
1. Installed htmldb 010500 into the db using companion CD
2. Thought I would be able to run an upgrade script to upgrade from a previous version, but nooooo, there is no upgrade to 010500, I have to export and then import. Of course, I can't export, because I don't really have the freakin' schema.
3. thought maybe, just maybe, I could run
exec FLOWS_010500.wwv_flow_upgrade.switch_schemas('FLOWS_010500','FLOWS_010404');
and switch to the 010404 schema and work out an export. nope. Like I said, the schema just isn't right.
So . . .
I'm thinking about doing this:
1. install version 010404 into a 9.2 database (just like it was when it was exported). This will give me a nice fresh 010404 instance.
2. disable all triggers on all tables in the 010404 schema
3. trunc every table
4. import the 010404 schema from the export
5. enable all the triggers
6. Then try to log in and do a flows export of the stuff. Take that export over to my 010500 instance in the 10g db and try an import.
What do you think???
Thanks,
Anton
p.s. this s*cks

Scott,
thanks. this worked! the one thing is that the import naturally imports the encrypted passwords. There was one problem that the passwords went through a character set conversion, so I no longer new them. With a little help from Sergio (drat! I should have been ale to figure it out on my own!) I worked that out.
Thanks again,
a-

How to Recover from last failed execution by using exported scripts

I have exported a Data Services batch job to unix scripts of job_batch.sh. The Enable Recovery option is selected when the job was exported. After I run the scripts (./job_batch.sh) and the job failed, I only can rerun it again using Recover-from-last-failed-execution option at Management Console.
Is it a way to rerun the job from last failed execution again from the scripts itself, not going through Management Console? Or have to rerun the scripts with any unix option to enable it to run from failed stage?
Thank you

In our world a recovery is done manually, hence no automatism there. In fact, there is some code that checks if the last run was unsuccessful and only in that case the Management Consol allows to add the "recover from last failed execution point".
Having said that, adding the command line property -Cr manually always, does work as Manoy explained.

Can't convert ringtone files recovered from Nokia ...

Hi everyone
I have a bunch of ringtones which I have recovered from a Nokia 6760 Slide. They were stored on the included 64 megabyte micro SD card. I want to convert them into a format used by my current phone.
They appear as ".aac" files which play well on VLC on my Mac. However, I cannot import them into iTunes and they will not play with any other media player. I cannot even import them into Fission to convert to another format. The export function of VLC appears to work, BUT when you try to play the newly created mp3 or whatever format you chose on some other player you again get an error.
I suspect the aac is suffix is just a container for an atypical or proprietary codec or something.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

SOLVED.
I tried many codec conversion apps: VLC, MPEG Streamclip, FFMpeg, Fission, MeGUI, Max.
I found out they were actually ADTS files inside an "aac" container.
In the end, I gave up on converting the files and simply recorded the VLC stream with Piezo.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Don't bother trying to convert ADTS files. Nokia probably used some proprietary method of encoding.
Recording audio is much much easier.

Recovering from various disasters

Hello,
I'm trying to put together a plan to recover from potential OVM failures, but I'm unclear about a number of points. Any suggestions and clarifications would be most welcome.
Guest:
We're installing a backup agent on all the VM's (Red Hat and Oracle Linux). If the VM was somehow completely lost, we plan to re-create it, do a fresh o/s install, and restore the filesystems from backup.
VM Manager:
It runs as VM. To recover from a problem, we plan to reinstall the VM Manager using the same UUID, rather than backing it up. If we were to back it up, are there critical configuration files we should back up?
Database:
This is exported and backed up regularly.
Oracle VM Server:
I'm not sure about this one. If we somehow lost one server (we have a 3-node cluster), if we just reinstall Oracle VM Server with the same ip and hostname would all be well after I rediscovered it? As long as the other two nodes were up and running, would the rebuilt server be added to the ocfs2 cluster when it's rediscovered?
Also, what information is in the server pool filesystem and the database? How do you all back up the server pool filesystem (or do you?) ? We can't install our backup agent on the Oracle VM Servers.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Edited by: user13166809 on Jan 7, 2013 12:55 PM

there is no need to backup the Oracel VM Server .
if something wrong with the OVS,not the ocfs2,you may wipe the db for the OVS,and the restart the agent then reboot the OVS.The ovs would be fresh as you just installed it

How do I backup Navigaton Toolbar + Add-on Toolbar settings? [RECOVERING from Firefox RESET]

Hello:
Recently had to RESET and had to manually re-instate my
> Navigation Toolbar (the toolbar with the URL and google search in it)
> Addson toolbar (the skinnier toolbar at the bottom)
1) How can I backup/export/restore these toolbars?
2) How can I automate the backup of these toolbars (like bookmarks) so it happens at a schedule set by firefox or in a preference by me?
3) What is best way to backup my ZOOM settings (the +/-) i use on my toolbar.
I use this extensively. Almost 100% of every page i visit has a preferred zoom set. This is a critical piece of configuration for me. so I would like to understand 1) how do i back it up 2) how to I automate the backup (like bookmarks) so it occurs automatically at a schedule (either set by firefox or set in a preference by me)
4) What is ffox support suggested procedure to backup your preference settings set in each of the ADD-ONs. I currently have over 50 add-ons and the list seems to be growing each month.
My add-on component is becoming a major component of my Firefox solution. Great in functionality, dangerous for recovering from the Firefox RESET feature. I have searched help online and found nothing of value to provide clear steps of what one must to do.
Thankyou
''edited by a moderator to add the 3rd and 4th items which were in other questions''

(1) Toolbar customizations are stored in a file name localstore.rdf in your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder. Unlike bookmarks, Firefox does not store daily snapshots, just the latest settings. You could try backing up this file periodically using an external program or add-on. This article describes how to make a copy of your entire profile folder: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]].
To restore the settings from your old profile folder (Old Firefox Settings) you could try copying it to your current profile folder. To access your current profile folder, use
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder
Firefox may overwrite the existing localstore.rdf file when shutting down, so let Firefox shut down and wait a bit to ensure that it has finished its updating before replacing the file.
(2) See #1
(3) Not sure where this is stored, but probably one of the SQLite databases in the profile folder. ??
(4) Unfortunately, I don't think there is a single universal solution for capturing all add-on data. Add-ons can store data in Firefox preferences (e.g., NoScript stores your list of approved sites in prefs.js) or their own storage, either in your Firefox profile folder or, in the case of programs installed systemwide (e.g., RoboForm or Flash), outside your Firefox profile folder. However, backups of your active profile folder presumably would help protect you against the loss of all the data stored there.

Can't recover from sleep sometimes: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong!"

I'm running gdm + gnome-shell (force fallback mode) on a Thinkpad W520 with intel integrated graphics only (via bios setting, so no optimus). Once a week or so, my Laptop fails to go to sleep properly and to recover from it.
It basically works like this, normally when I close the lid, the sleep LED blinks a couple of times, and then stays on (and you can hear the fan turn off). When sending the laptop to sleep fails, the led blinks indefinitely (like, all night, if you let it), the fan keeps running as well.
Once you open the lid again, you are greeted with the message "ACPI: Unable to dock!" on a black screen. This happens when successfully recovering from sleep mode as well, though.
Shortly afterwards, instead of seeing a password prompt, you see this:

I AM UNABLE TO CONNECT TO ANY WEBSITE USING FIREFOX. EVEN THOUGH, I HAVE BEEN USING FIREFOX ON THE SAME COMPUTER FOR YEARS WITH NO DIFFICULTY. THE PROBLEM AROSE AFTER COMCAST, MY ISP, RECOVERED FROM A WIDESPREAD OUTAGE THAT LASTED 5 HOURS.

I SUCCEEDED IN TRANSFERING ALL MY BOOKMARKS TO GOOGLE CHROME. THIS WILL ALLOW ME ACCESS TO WEBSITES WHILE I WAIT FOR A METHOD TO REPAIR MY FIREFOX PROGRAM. IN A PREVIOUS MESSAGE, I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS ANY WEBSITE USING FIREFOX AFTER COMCAST, MY ISP, RECOVERED FROM AN OUTAGE THAT LASTED 5 HOURS. WHENEVER I TRIED TO CONNECT TO A SITE, A POP-UP MESSAGE APPEARED INDICATING: "UNABLE TO INITIALIZE THE APPLICATION'S SECURITY COMPONENT. THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE IS PROBLEMS WITH FILES IN YOUR APPLICATION'S PROFILE DIRECTORY. CHECK THAT THIS DIRECTORY HAS NO READ/WRITE RESTRICTIONS." I EVEN REMOVED FIREFOX FROM MY COMPUTER AND DOWNLOADED IT AGAIN, FIGURING THAT BY NOT MERELY USING AN UPGRADE, I WOULD BE INSTALLING A COMPLETELY FRESH DOWNLOAD. UNFORTUNATELY, I RECEIVED THE SAME DISAPPOINTING RESULT, WITH THE SAME POP-UP MESSAGE RE-APPEARING. HOWEVER USING BOTH GOOGLE CHROME AND INTERNET EXPLORER, I WAS ABLE TO CONNECT TO WEBSITES. SO I HAVE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH MY INTERNET CONNECTION.

Press '''START + R''' in keyboard to open the '''Run''' box(or '''start''' then '''run''') , type in the RUN box '''%APPDATA%''' (or copied in just i wrote, bold text) then click '''OK'''. A Windows Explorer window will appear, in this window, choose '''Mozilla''' then '''Firefox''' then '''Profiles'''. Each folder in the "Profiles" folder (e.g., "xxxxxxxx.default") is a profile on your computer (maybe is one file if you have only one profile).

try it, good luck

Recovering from a network drive

Hey all
I've been successfully using Time machine on a network drive (using "defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1"  in a console). Unfortunately, my HDD broke and apple support had to install a new one.
Now, how do I restore from that network drive again? I have a freshly installed and fully updated Leopard already and would like to just restore the users' settings. But, the network drive isn't visible in the migration assistant.
I even tried to copy the network drive's content to a firewire disc... still nothin visible.
What else can I do?
Thanks a million!!!
Bernhard

Yes, I can mount the image and thus have access to all revisions stored by time machine. Maybe I could use rsync to get the data back in place? My hope was to make time machine recognize the image on the (now) local drive and recover from there... is that possible?
I know that it's unsupported to use time machine on a nas, but - for me - running time machine on a local hdd just doesn't make much sense (I want multiple computers to do their backup to the same drive and I also want to separate the backup drive from the original drives physically). I also don't see why this should be so difficult to implement (Vista can do it btw... :-)), unless, of course, Apple wants to sell its time capsules...
Anyway, I didn't want to complain, I would just like to get my data back.
Thanks for your help!

CCM 8.6.1- Installation Failed. Restart install to recover from failure

Hi All,
I am installing CCM 8.6.1 on an MCS7835I3 platform. The platform came with CCM 8.6.1 preloaded on the harddrive. During the installation linux detected some compenents like NIC, Raid, and USB.
then after checking some components i face below error
"The installtion has failed and must be restarted to recover from the faliure.
You may dump diagnostic information at this time to a USB storage key. Would you like to dump diagnostic information"
I am try to figure out what is causing this message.
Pls help me!!

Hi
It seems to me that your server did not begin the CUCM installation. If you already have pre-loaded CUCM media in the server hard disk then you should first check the boot sequence on the server. Make sure that the first option is the hard disk.
Once confirmed, restart the server.
If you still face the issue, then i suggest that you install CUCM from CD.
Below is the installation document. Do check the server compatibility and hardware requirements.

How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

ExportPDF is based on a newer conversion engine than the one found in Acrobat 9.0. They're similar in some respects, but ExportPDF is more advanced.
