Remove Database (Not using DBCA)

Hello!
I have tried creating a database on my 10g instance, using DBCA. Halfway through creation, the process stopped, giving me error ORA-01092.
I'd like to remove the database and start again, however using DBCA, when I try to remove the database, I get error ORA-01078 - and cannot continue any further.
How can I remove all traces of this database without using DBCA?
Thanks for any help.
Chris.

ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
Cause
This error indicates that Oracle had a problem processing the database initialisation file. It will normally be accompanied by another error that will give more specific details about the problem.
ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
Examine alert.log file to find out what caused the DBCA fail. If there's unknown problem in your system, the next DBCA will likely fail again even after clean up.
What's in your initial parameter file? What's your OS?
You need to clean up following files,
datafiles, control files, redo logfiles, spfile files and better clean all files under dump destination as well (of course after troubleshooting)

Hi -
I cannot get dbca to display on my xp machine.
I installed xming and have xclock running.
Started putty and enabled X11, and this is the result:
echo $DISPLAY
localhost:11.0
When I start running dbca, I basically get no response.
It is running on the linux server, but I get no display (X window)
to work from. My colleague has experienced the exact same
issue.
Thanks for your attention,

Populate ComboBox from database - NOT using Flex Data Services

Hi there,
We are using CF with Flex but are not using the Flex Data
Service. I'm very much a newb and I'm having trouble finding any
information on how to populate controles from a database without
using Flex Data Service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First I have a page... JobSearch.mxml that contains a combo
box that I want to populate with the job_id and job_title from a
MSSQL database.
In Flex in the RDS DataView I used the "Create CFC" Wizard
which generated "job.cfc" and "jobGateway.cfc". It also generated
"job.as".
The CF Function that selects the data appears to be defaulted
and called "load" and the .as function is called simply "job".
So, that all looks great. But I can't find any information on
what I need to have on my JobSearch.mxml to actually get this data
into the comboBox.
I did:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var jobData:job = null;
]]>
</mx:Script>
And then:
<mx:ComboBox
text="{jobData.job_title}"></mx:ComboBox>
But I'm being told "Type was not found or was not a
complie-time constant: job"
I guess I'm missing something, or doing something way
wrong... I just don't know enough of Flex at this point to know
what it is.
Thanks!

Using php or asp is not an option, as we are a Cold Fusion
House.
I was looking at an article on Ben Forta's blog (
http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=e&entry=1786)
and following his example I did this... only it doesn't work:
I'm very very new to Flash and we are using ColdFusion but
are not using Flex Data Services. I've been trying to figure out
how to populate a combobox from a database and I'm just not having
any luck.
My project is called "PreTraffic". I have my main file as
"JobSearch.mxml" and a folder under the root named "cfc" with a
file called "job.cfc".
job.cfc contains the following code:
<cfcomponent>

<cffunction name="GetJob" access="remote"
returntype="query" output="false">
<cfset var job="">
<cfset var results="">
<cfquery datasource="discsdev" name="job">
SELECT job_id, job_title
FROM job
WHERE status = 'O'
ORDER BY job_title
</cfquery>
<cfquery dbtype="query" name="results">
SELECT job_title AS label, job_id AS data
FROM job
ORDER BY label
</cfquery>
<cfreturn results>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
And JobSearch.mxml has the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns="*"
layout="absolute"
backgroundGradientColors="[#ffffff, #d0d0d0]"
creationComplete="InitApp()">
<mx:Style source="style.css" />
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function InitApp():void {
jobSvc.GetJob();
]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:RemoteObject id="jobSvc" destination="PreTraffic"
showBusyCursor="true" />
<mx:VBox label="Job History" width="100%" height="100%"
x="10" y="92">
<mx:Label text="Search jobs by"/>
<mx:Form label="Task" width="100%">
<mx:FormItem label="Job Name:">
<mx:ComboBox id="jobNameCB"
dataProvider="{jobSvc.GetJob.results}"></mx:ComboBox>
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Button label="Search"/>
<mx:Button label="Clear"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>
My Compiler thingy points to:
-services
"/Volumes/flexwwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/job-services-config.xml" -locale
en_US
and job-services-config.xml contains the following code:
<destination id="PreTraffic">
<channels>
<channel ref="my-cfamf"/>
</channels>
<properties>
<source>flex.pretraffic.cfc.job</source>
<lowercase-keys>true</lowercase-keys>
</properties>
</destination>
Well, when I run the app... the combobox is not populated...
Can anyone help with what I've done wrong?
Thanks!

Removing Photos Not Used in Albums from Library

Is there a way to filter out the pictures (within the Library) not being used in any of the albums and mark them for deletion? Is this something that either iPhote 6 or that another application might address?

Hi dudestar,
Make a smart album whose conditions are
"album" "is not" "any"
this should give you a smart album of all unassigned images.
You can then use Command Option Delete to delete them from that folder and the library. Then you must empty iPhoto's trash and they will be deleted from the hard drive.

How to determine which diskgroups a database is using

We want to be able to determine which diskgroups a database is using. We have been using the following query which works but only if the database has open or had open the "right set of files" recently --
SQL> select dg.name from v$asm_diskgroup_stat dg, v$asm_client c where dg.group_number = c.group_number and c.db_name = 'MYDB';
If no archived logs have been generated in a while then the diskgroup that contains the FRA will no be listed in this query. We can cause the FRA diskgroup to show up if we archive the current log. Here is an example.
SQL> select * from v$asm_client;
GROUP_NUMBER INSTANCE_NAME
DB_NAME STATUS
SOFTWARE_VERSION
COMPATIBLE_VERSION
            5 +ASM
DBI03    CONNECTED
11.2.0.3.0
11.2.0.0.0
SQL> alter system archive log current;
System altered.
SQL> select * from v$asm_client;
GROUP_NUMBER INSTANCE_NAME
DB_NAME STATUS
SOFTWARE_VERSION
COMPATIBLE_VERSION
            5 +ASM
DBI03    CONNECTED
11.2.0.3.0
11.2.0.0.0
GROUP_NUMBER INSTANCE_NAME
DB_NAME STATUS
SOFTWARE_VERSION
COMPATIBLE_VERSION
            7 +ASM
DBI03    CONNECTED
11.2.0.3.0
11.2.0.0.0
Notice how diskgroup "7" shows up after the log is archived? It appears that the instance for diskgroup "7" will eventually be drop off after some idle period. Is there a way to generate the list of diskgroups consistently?

Hi,
If your database was configured manually (i.e not using DBCA) you should check v$(datafile,controlfile,logfile,block_change_tracking,etc) and parameters of database (log_archive_dest,db_recovery_file_dest,spfile,etc) to map these info.
If your database was configured using DBCA you can try it:
$ srvctl config database -d <database_name> |grep "Disk Groups"

How to create another instance on linux without using dbca?

I have an oracle database (or instance) named viton1 on my linux.
Now I want to create another instance (or database) named viton2 on my linux without using dbca.
I know I can create a database by runing a sql script : create database ......
But my problem is:
before I can run the script for create database, I must startup nomount database.
Before I can startup nomount the instance, I have to connect the instance.
So I do it:
$sqlplus /nolog
sql > conn sys/password as sysdba;
sql >
then I connected to viton1, that's not what I expected.
In order not to connect to viton1, I set ORACLE_SID=viton2. Then it show error: insufficient privilege.
Who can tell me the right way to create another database without using dbca?
Thanks in advance.

In $ORACLE_BASE/admin you should have a directory structure for the viton1 instance : create a similar directory structure for the viton2 instance.
In the pfile subdirectory create the initviton2.ora file : you can copy it from initviton1.ora file and change all occurrences of viton1 to viton2.
At OS prompt : export ORACLE_SID=viton2, then
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
startup nomount pfile=$ORACLE_BASE/admin/viton2/pfile/initviton2.ora
then CREATE DATABASE.....

Can't install Data Guard using DBCA in Oracle 11g Release 2

I have installed Oracle database 11g Release 2 successfully. I have installed Label Security using DBCA, now when I am installing Database Vault using DBCA, it gives message "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" and exists back to DBCA.
What step I am missing? please suggest.
Regards and thx,

Hi,
I had the same issue too. I installed it on my desktop (server class option). Everything else including EM is working fine. However I got around the issue to an extent by manually running the catalog scripts for database vault. It should be located under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin. You have to run the script catmac.sql. There is a catch though. You need to go through the contents of the script and execute the other scripts manually by supplying username and passwords (yes, it sucks!!) but I don't find any help on metalink for this issue.
Currently I am trying to create the realms but I am denied permission due to lack of "OPERATOR TARGET" privileges.
If someone can lead me to the correct place where I can look for what is missing, it would be great.
Thank you

Thanks both
Really the problem initially was because of this:
[INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [node1, node2]. CVU may reports "PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "user"" for same error
and I had to install node1 first and after node2 manually and perhaps for this the product was not well linked.
I resolved the problem establishing the keys with the wizard and after copying the following files from node1 to node2
/home/grid/.ssh -------> /home/grid/.ssh
authorized_keys
known_hosts
This is the procedure if you run the wizard at the node1.
The problem is that the wizard creates the keys incompletely...
Thanks

Deleting/dropping/removing database using Enterprise Manager (12c)

Hi,
I have run some searches and review the documentation... but I haven't found any way to drop/remove/delete databases using 12c EM.
We have multi-instance environments (one physical server with several instances/database). And from time to time we have to remove one or more instances when they are decommissioned.
So far we are using DBCA, but I wonder if there is any way to do the same with EM "out of the box ...
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Francisco Palomares

Hello Francisco,
the only "out of the box" methods to delete/remove a database would be:
- Create a "User defined procedure" to do the job - Checkout the "Lifecycle Management" guide in the documentation
- When using the Self Service Portal as part of the Cloud Management feature, users would be able to request for a database to be created. When requesting for a database to be created the user can also identify for what period he/she would need the database. Meaning that you can indicate the moment a database need to be decommissioned. In that case not only a Job will be scheduled to create the requested database, but also a job will be scheduled to remove the database after the indicated time frame has passed. Check for this the Cloud Management Guide.
- You could of course also think about doing this using a custom made script that you could schedule from the EM job system.
Well enough material to think about ;-)
