Repeating Job Can Hang In "Started" Status On Multi-Cpu Windows Machine

Dear All,
I am struck with a know Bug 3092358 "Repeating Job Can Hang In "Started" Status On Multi-Cpu Windows Machine". The Work around is mentioned in Note:307448.1 in metalinks.
In the above doc for the Fix-3 Another option that worked is to try:
Upgraded to EM 9.2.0.6 and applied the Apr05 CPU.
I searched in metalinks to get patch to upgrade EM from 9.2.0.1 to 9.2.0.6. But not able to find can some tell me where can i get this patch.
OS: windows 2003 server
DB:9.2.0.1
OWB :9.2
Pls,do let me know if there any other work arounds,
Thanks for your help.

While I dunno the specifics of NT threads, one way to spread 1 thread across multiple processors is by simply round robining the thread between the processors over time. i.e. Thread A spends 0.5seconds executing on cpu 1, for the next 0.5 s the thread is moved over to cpu2 and executed there, then it is moved back to cpu1 and so on...
I think the Convex SPP used this model, the motivation perhaps being to spread load evenly among all cpus. Made sense in a multi-user multi-cpu system with a real fast bus.

You know you've been spending too much time on the computer when your friend misdates a check, and you suggest adding a "++" to fix it.

I has noticed that the log files on path <BO>/bobje/logging are increased so fast.
I found that it was the files WIReportServer_..._trace.log wrote everytime.

Then I went to CMC -> Server.
I saw ReportApplicationServer is in starting status (yellow status).
So I tried force terminate and start this server again ,but it still hang up starting status.
Even I has restart BO service but the result still the same.
This ReportApplicationServer used to running normally.
But I didn't know it was down until now(until I see the BO path 0 % free space). So I has no idea what is the reason of this.
Anyone here who use to face this issue please help me.
Or anyone else has any idea?

Can we implement iphone native application on microsoft windows machine

Hey,
Right now i m doing job and i want to work as a free lancer but i don't have mac machine at my home so i want to know that how can we develop iphone native application on Microsoft windows machine or not?.
One friend is said that it is possible to work on Microsoft windows machine same like mac machine. he didn't tell me because he said that i take $125 for 1 hour so i rejected to pay this money.
Now please anyone tell me that how can i work on windows.
Thanks.

You'll need XCode and the iPhone SDK to develop for the iPhone. These only run on Mac OS X, which is only officially supported on Mac hardware. I don't know of any solution to run XCode under any other OS.

Jobs are hanging in running status

Hey ,
I have some overnight jobs that refresh materialized views over a dblink from a remote db. I came this morning and noticed that some of the jobs where hanging in RUNNING state with "more data from dblink" event but there was no corresponding sessions in the remote db. It seems like the refresh process was already done (by the size of the mviews). Tracing the session is useless (i've tried) since no actual job is being done. The alert log gave no clue.
any ideas on what the problem is or what to do in order to find it?
could it be a locking issue ?
Thanks

Hi,
I think you may need to use normal database hang diagnostic methods to try to figure out what is going on.
The first thing to do is look in the dba_scheduler_running_jobs view, there should be sessions associates with the running view (you can also check that there are real j0 slave processes running the jobs). Once you have checked that there is a real session that is still running the job maybe you could check the v$session view and any other v$ views that should be able to tell you what SQL statement the job is hanging on. You may also be able to check locks held by those sessions.
You may also be able to use Oracle's ADDM reporting tools to get some diagnostic info.
Another possible thing to try is running the job action by hand manually in pl/sql and seeing whether that hangs and possibly figure out where.
Where do you see the "more data from dblink" message ?

Can't create a status bar for my window

I'm trying to add a status bar to a window I've created. I've tried to get this to work by doing this:
frame = new JFrame();
canvas = new CanvasPane();
frame.setContentPane(canvas);
frame.setTitle(title);
canvas.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
backgroundColour = bgColour;
Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
JLabel statusLabel = new JLabel("This is the status bar");
contentPane.add(statusLabel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
Everything works except for the status bar. What am I doing wrong?

in the above example, the poster is taking it for granted that you class extends the JFrame class. In case not then you have do as follows:
myFrameName.getContentPane()."What ever else";Also before starting to put thing using the border layout do as follows:

Dwm.exe starts consuming lots of CPU when machine is idle

Since doing a fresh install of Windows 8 Pro RTM x64 English on my Sony Vaio Z21 laptop, I've been bothered by a sudden increase in fan noise whenever I leave the machine idle for a while and the displays are turned off. Finally decided to try and get to
the bottom of it today, so I ran the Performance Recorder with the CPU usage profile enabled and brought up the relevant graphs in Performance Analyzer. See the below screen shot for the results.
I started the trace and then left the machine alone for a while to trigger the idle behavior. It's pretty clear that Dwm.exe is the main culprit. As to why this process would find anything useful to do when all the displays are turned off is beyond me. Also
Outlook.exe sees a significant increase of CPU usage during the same time period. Whether these two are somehow related, I have no clue. Please note that I've disabled all other processes in the graph for clarity; no other processes showed any visible increase
during the trace.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Daniel Stolt, Perceptible, http://www.perceptible.net

I'm seeing similar characteristics as some others in this thread:
- The issue occurs when the system is idle AND the power management puts my displays on standby.
- Modifying my power management settings so that the display is NEVER put on standby causes the issue to go away. (The system will not show unusual CPU activity even after sitting idle for some time.)
- When the issue occurs, dwm.exe shows some CPU activity. dwm.exe's activity averages around 25%. Several other applications show CPU activity as well. Each individual application's activity averages less than 25% (so dwm.exe's activity
is the most visible during this issue), but the total CPU activity adds up to around 60-75%. The unusual CPU activity ceases when the monitor wakes up from standby.
Do others participating in this thread observe that the issue goes away if they modify their power management settings so that their monitor is never allowed to go to standby? I understand that this isn't a viable "solution" for most people,
but I'd like to know if everyone else shares that same observation.
I have a question (and appreciation!) for the persons genuinely contributing to this thread: Do you see any unusual CPU activity occur in any other applications when this issue occurs? For example, do you see a small amount of activity in explorer.exe?
I ask this because I've watched the CPU graphs for several individual processes which happen to be running on my system. (I've been leaving several process property windows open in Process Explorer to monitor individual process performance. It's
a kludgy method but it works.) Processes such as skype.exe, steam.exe, procmon.exe (Process Monitor), and taskmgr.exe each nibble at the CPU when the problem occurs. The effect is subtle but noticeable. The CPU nibbling for these applications
disappears when the monitor wakes-up from standby.
I've also noticed that there is slightly less overall CPU consumption if all application windows are minimized when the issue occurs. In the case of steam.exe, the unusual CPU consumption all but disappears when it is minimized.
I believe Harri Kaimio's post has been the closest thing I've seen posted to a technical explanation for the issue. It seems (?) that certain applications are attempting to draw something, but they are somehow blocked or otherwise unable to do so when
the monitor is on standby. dwm.exe plays a part in drawing, so it shows activity when this occurs. However, instead of giving up, the applications seem to go nuts and attempt the (same?) thing frequently, thereby generating CPU activity.*
*Please understand that these are guesses -- if someone can correct me with more technical details or procedures which would help disprove my guesses, please do show me where these guesses are wrong! I'd love to work towards a solid explanation.
A few more tidbits:
- I do not run Logitech's SetPoint.exe.
- I'm experiencing this on a desktop system. My display adapters are: AMD/Radeon HD 7800 series, and the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000.
- Running Windows 7.
- I am incredibly pleased that not a single person has suggested "defragmenting" in this entire thread. :)

Mac Book pro can't access some shared files on a windows machine. Please Help!!!

I have a early 2013 Mac Book Pro running Mac osx 10.8.3. I also have a 2002ish dell desktop. I have file sharing turned on for several drives on the dell and the mac finds and connects to the dell. I can also see the shared hard drives, but when i try to access certian files on the hard drvies the mac said something like you do not have permissions to access this folder. The folder has a little red icon in the corner and in the get info window it said that I have custom access. Also when i try to logon to the dell from the mac using connect as I enter the username for the windows account. There is no pasword so I leave that blank. When i click login it still said in finder that i was logged in as guest. Any help with either problem would be great. I don't know if the problems are linked or what, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Thanks!!!

Check topic E3 at this webpage: Time Machine - Troubleshooting. See if it can shed any light on the issue.

Can I use my iMac screen with a Windows machine?

This is sort of an upside-down question. I need to use a PC in order to access a Windows-only software. My friend has a give-away Dell laptop, but its screen is non-functional. Is there any way to get it to display on my iMac (or MacBookPro) screens?

This can't be done if your PC has a VGA video output and requires a converter if your PC has a DVI video output. VGA is an analog signal and there are no converters to turn it into a digital Display Port (DP) or Mini Display Port (MDP) signal. DVI and HDMI are digital signals (with HDMI having audio and a different physical connector) that can be converted into a DP/MDP signal that the 27" iMac can use, but doing so requires an expensive converter or an even more expensive converter and scaler if you want to get full resolution on the target display. The cheaper but perhaps more complicated alternative is to replace your PC video card with a DP/MDP card after which you should be able to drive the 27" iMac display without any converter. Apple didn't include DVI/HDMI input capability in the 27" iMac because that would have required additional circuitry that would have raised the price substantially.

Can't see files burned to CD from windows machine

I'll keep it short.
CDROM burned on a windows PC has files that I want to view on my imac G4. When I put the CD into my mac, there are no files...only folders. If I do "get info" on the folders, they are all at zero KB. If I then take the CD to any windows PC, all of the files are viewable, and the folders show their true sizes. I can then put the files and folders on a USB drive, go back to the imac and see all of my files at that point. This has been tested thee times with the same result every time.
Any ideas?

The problem may be how the CD was formatted. Macs support ISO-9660 better than any other crossplatform format.
Recently Software Architects has improved UDF support on the Mac, though I have yet to test it to see how true their claim is:

Can I open Mac InD files on a Windows Machine?

I've found a template by Mike Singleton in the InD Exchange for the Xerox FlipBook Paper. The download is Mac but I need to open it with Win InD (CS4).
If it's possible, what are the steps?
Thanks for your help...

Edit: OK, now I read the first post, too. I've actually downloaded and and opened that template on CS4 in Windows, and it works fine. Not, however, a lot of instruction to go with it. There's a video on the Xerox site you'll want to download and study carefully to help you figure out what goes where.

PS Hangs When Starting

PS hangs when starting by clicking icon on Windows 8.1 Pro Taskbar: Grayed Welcome screen with nothing clickable. If open any image any format only one layer called "Index" is locked and cannot unlock. Under Layer menu only one submenu available and that is "Layer Style..." and when that is hovered only one option is available and that is "Global Light..."
Is this some psycho religious fanatic virus? What is going on?

Maybe a Preferences reset will clear it up.
Start Photoshop and very quickly hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift. When the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog appears, release those keys and click "yes" and let Photoshop finish loading.
You have to be quick with those keys, so it may take a few tries.

I can't file share or use printers with Windows XP

Im running Leopard and my PC can detect and search my Macbook just fine but not the other way around. Every time i type in the correct user and password for XP it also gives me a "Connection Failed" message. My printer is shared on XP but i can't find it on the Macbook. Can anyone please help me solve this problem, its been driving me nuts for the past week.

Hi,
A couple of things to check:
1. On the Windows XP machine, point at, then click My Computer in the Start menu. This opens a window with your disk drives. Point at and right-click the drive you want to share. A property menu will pop up. Click the Sharing tab and set up the sharing policies you want.
2. Point at and then click Control Panel in the Start Menu. This opens a window or drop-down menu. Point at and open Windows Firewall. Check your firewall settings. If your firewall is enabled, check your Windows sharing. Enable sharing; add it to the list of allowed programs, if necessary. You will probably want to highlight sharing, click advanced and set the scope to allow only the addresses of the LAN segment on which your Mac and Windows machine reside.
The steps above should allow your Windows machine to be seen by the Mac.
The other possible complication that can get in the way is if the Windows machine is XP Professional and a member of a domain. When a machine is on a domain, clients that want to access the machine have to vet their credentials with a domain controller. The domain controller looks in its database and returns tickets to the Windows machine and client that allow the transfer data. Once the domain controller has vetted credentials, it is no longer involved until the tickets reach their expiry time limit. When the machines have valid tickets, they talk to each other directly.
I have not joined a Mac to a Windows domain, but a quick check in a terminal window on my MacBook shows the requisite UNIX utilities for doing so are there. I'll leave that question to somebody with more in-depth Mac skills.
If your machines are on a domain it is important to keep the clocks of the machines relatively synchronized. The time stamps on Kerberos tickets have to by default, in Windows, have to match within +/- five minutes.
If your Windows machine is XP Home Edition or default XP Professional, it will not be on a domain and in fact is usually set by the manufacturer to be a member of the default workgroup named, "workgroup." The Mac should be able to access that as long as your Windows firewall is set to allow sharing. For details, open Help on your Mac and search for, "windows domain," or, "windows sharing."

Repeating Job:pass repeating start time to Workflow

Hi all, We created a workflow process manager repeating job to invoke workflow for data update, but sometime the workflow process manager stopped working, and the job was queued.
Then next day we restart the workflow process manager, it recovered, and the repleating start to run again.
But the thing is we set this job run every 1 hour to update recent one hour records.
Since it passed one day, the actual start time is next day, but not the repeating start time. Then we get many data not updated, and we have to go back manually update them.
Hence, my question whether there is a way we can pass the repeating start date to workflow, then it will auto-cover all the miss data when process back online.
Thanks, Kent

Hi Kent,
As per my understanding it is not possible to pass on the repeating start date value, but as an alternate, you can store the last ran date value in a file or table and access it accordingly.
Thanks,
Arjesh

OIM 11g - User Not enabled After the job "enable user after start date"

Hi,
I have a future hired user in OIM whose start date is set in OIM. The status of the user in OIM is 'Disabled Until Start Date'.
After the start date has passed and the scheduled job 'enable user after start date' is run, I see that the user is still in the status 'Disabled Until Start Date'. I re-run the scheduled job 'enable user after start date', this time manually, still the state of the user remains unchanged.
Please help in troubleshooting as to find out the root cause of the issue and a workaround/solution, if possible.
This issue is intermittent and has happened with quite a number of user. Any pointer would be helpful.
Regards,
Sudipto S.

I agree with Nayan.
One alternative approach can be to write your own custom scheduler which can overcome the limitation of OOTB scheduled job 'enable user after start date'. Let the OOTB job get executed first. After it, your custom scheduler should fire a simple SQL Query:
SELECT USR_KEY, USR_STATUS FROM USR WHERE (USR_START_DATE > SYSDATE -1) AND USR_STATUS='Disabled Until Start Date';
//Means those users who are supposed to get enabled today and are still not yet enabled and are in 'Disabled Until Start Date'. May be 2-3 user keys at max will come...
As you said it happens only intermittently and not for all users... So, let the OOTB scheduled job take care of most of such users... And after it has finished, if any user still remains in 'Disabled Until Start Date', your custom scheduler should enable it via using tcUserOperationsIntf.enableUser(userKey);
Using API is always better than database update... Because APIs trigger downstream provisioning workflows as well and not just updates OIM Database...
Keeping your constraints in mind, I think it is the correct answer.
