Do I need to archive this file?

Hello
I have an iMovie file that is approximately 32 GB. I have made a disk image of it in iDVD, and do not think that I will be making any further changes to the file, just burning it from the disk image.
Questions are:
*Do I need to keep the iMovie file somewhere, or can I just trash it at this point? I cannot archive it to put on my (small 20GB) external HD until I am done with the project because it gives me an error that the disk is full before it finishes archiving it.
*What does this error mean? I should have plenty of space on my hard drive (about 34GB left)for the compressed file.
Thanks for your help!

A disk image is a stand-alone and is not tied to the iMovie or iDVD project. So, if you are sure that you won't be editing your movie or iDVD project any more, you can just save the disk image and trash everything else. But . . .your movie is running over two hours. If you try to burn it to a standard 2 hour DVD disk, you won't have enough room to do that, unless you use a duel layered disk. Some burners can't burn duel layered disks, so you need to check to make sure that yours can. Before you trash anything, you might consider splitting your movie into two movies of approximately one hour each and burning two separate disk images. That way you would be able to burn onto the standard 2 hour disk.
I don't quite understand your saving question.

Help with scripting: need to import Excel files into PS type layers

Howdy all,
I have a series of TV commercials provided to me as layered PS files. I work in CS3 and export to Avid for editing.
For customization, I need to import their Excel list of phone numbers and duplicate each one into a type layer with existing efx and placement.
There are 30-60 #s, which appear in 2 locations, so automation is key (just finished a 45 # series, and they have more!)
I dont know how to script this, and would appreciate any guidance. I am not asking for someone to do it for me, just help me learn what I have to do.
Dave Koslow

From Excel save your file out as either CSV or TDT from the drop down 'save as' options. Once you have a plain text file script will be able to read the text file using which ever delimiter best suits you and create an array of string variables that you can use within photoshop to assign to the contents of a text layer…

Hello Subbu,

You mean you have taken an online backup and lost all your archive log files after that online backup?
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;

ORA-01110: data file 1: 'E:\oracle\'<SID>\sapdata1\SYSTEM_1\SYSTEM.DATA1'

To perform a recovery with an online backup you will need all archive log files until the end of the online backup. If you have lost them you are not able to recover (or open) your database in a consistent state.
So the only suggestion we can do is:
You need the archive log files that were created during the online backup to perform an incomplete recovery ... if they are gone you can not restore your database.

Stefan

Ensuring the validity of an archived redolog

Hello everybody,
For security reasons I need to ensure the validity of an archived redolog. That is, after the online redolog get archived, I have to download it for a file system directory by using a script, but, there just must be archived redolog files. So how can I guarantee no other kind of file were put into the same location? Is there any way to characterize an archived redolog file using OS tools (Linux)?
Thank you in advance.

So how can I guarantee no other kind of file were put into the same location?That is not something that Oracle can enforce. You could setup permissions on the directory and have a "watcher" script scanning the directory periodically.
But to what purpose ?
I need to ensure the validity of an archived redologThis is a different question from guaranteeing that only redo log files are placed in a directory.
Do you mean to say that your requirement is to ensure that the redolog is not corrupt and/or is not tampered with ?
You could have a watcher script that computes the checksum (cksum is the command on Unix/Linux) for an archivelog and periodically compares the checksum value !
Is there any way to characterize an archived redolog file using OS tools (Linux)?You can use RMAN to attempt a backup of the archived redo log file --- if the file is not really an archived redo log, RMAN will complain.

Restoring a 6.0 Application Archive in 6i, is it possible?

Is there a way to restore an 6.0 Application Archive dump file in Designer 6i?
TIA

Hi Rob,
I think you will find this is very difficult to achieve. The
Designer 6i repository model differs greatly from Designer 6.
You really need to migrate your application data from a 6.0
repository into Designer 6i. The Designer 6i migration utility
will check and clean up the data, so it's very important you
test the migration in a test environment first.
For more help, contact Support, see http://metalink.oracle.com
and definitely check out the Migration Guide on the Designer 6i
Doc page here on OTN.

MAKING MORE ARCHIVE IN MATERIALIZED VIEW

Hi experts,
i created a materialised view and created index on that, but while refreshing the MV it is making more archive log file.
in index i also opted nologging option, still while refreshing it is still creating more archieve files.
what to do so that it should not create more archive while refreshing materlialised view.
thanks

10g to 8i can work, assuming
- 8i = 8.1.7
- You are applying at least the 8.1.7.4 patchset to the master (8i) or you are applying the latest patchset to the slave (10g). Realistically, you probably want to do both.
If you are talking about using the standard edition, I assume that you are only doing basic replication, not multi-master replication. I also assume you are aware of the limitations on hardware that come with Standard Edition 1-- I don't recall if you are limited to machines that have a capacity for 2 or 4 CPU's. Also, be aware that Oracle considers multi-core CPU's as multiple CPU's.

I have a requirement which says we need to archive a file when it is in error in PI. How can we acheive this as we need to move error file into a specific folder.
Any Suggestions.
Thanks,

Hi Prabhas,
You need to use the option of "Archive faulty Source Files" in the processing tab of your Sender Communication channel.
Open your sender comm. channel --> goto the Processing tab -
> In processing parameters you will find an option
"Archive faulty Source Files " , check the corresponding checkbox -
> then you will get another parameter " Directory for Archiving Files with Errors" ---> Here you need to specify the path of the folder where you want to move the error file to archieve it.
Hope this will help you

Is possible to restore with another data base ?

Hi,
I want to restore my DEV database with PRD database in TESTserver through SQL enterprise manager. I have backup of PRD, which is taken from DB13.
Is that possible to restore like this?
Gayathry.

Hi,
1. Does the database ALREADY exist on the target server?
2. If so, does the directory structure where the MDF/LDF match where the MDF/LDF reside on the live server. In this I mean if the files on the live server were located in the C:\MyDir\Data folder, do they also reside like that on the target serverr?
IF NOT ... you need to use the WITH MOVE option to place the MDF and LDF in the folder(s) that are being used on your target server. If you are using the Restore wizard, you need to change the file path on the Options tab of the wizard. Change the path in the "Move to physical file name" option to the desired location.
if this not work
try to restore database with same SID on target server i.e PRD than after you can change the dtabse from PRD to PSD using following sap note

Archiving the file in to Multiple Directories

Hi,
   I have a scenario which takes the file from the source system and uses proxy to post the data in to ECC.When it picks the file it has to pick from multiple directories.This i can achieve by using advanced selection for source files and
also i need to archive these files to multiple directories depending on the source directory. I have given an example below.
      ex : Source directory : /users/system/location1/input
             Archive Directory : /users/system/location2/archive
            The file can also be picked up from
             Source Directory :/users/system/location2/input
             Archive Directory : /users/system/location2/archive
So i have to read the data from multiple directories and archive the same to multiple directories(Depending on the source).Can we achieve this using single file adapter(Communication channel)
   Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance
Sripathi G Yogesh

Hi Sripathi,
no, you need for each folder an adapter resp a Communication Channel and, as well, a Sender Agreement for that Channel. But you can copy a well working channel and just change the path to the folder and to the archive. You can reuse the interfaces and the receiver determination as well. I dont see any need for BPM in that case.

I am deleting record by record it is generating more Archive log file.due to that my is database hanged.
can you tell me what are the possible reasons for gen of more arch file.
Regards,
kk

Hi,
If the answer is not in previous post and if you're deleting (much) more than you're keeping (i mean very large volumes) i suggest :
(create a backup table as the one you're deleting in (same structure-> not constraints))
- backup the rows you want to keep in an other table
- truncate the original table
- re-insert the backuped rows
- truncate the backuped table

FAN

Here is backup scripts:
Run
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u02/db/backup/RMAN/%F.bck';
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/u02/db/backup/RMAN/backup_%d_%t_%s_%p_%U.bck';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative database plus archivelog delete all input;
backup current controlfile;
backup spfile;
release channel ch1;
allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
delete noprompt obsolete;
delete noprompt archivelog all backed up 2 times to disk;

Restore hot online backup without redolog file

How to restore cold backup + archived log files

Hi,
Suppose I take a cold backup on 18th. After that I have four days of archived log files. if the database crashes on 5th day, I have to restore the 18th cold back + 4 days of archived log files. How do I restore since it is a cold backup and I cant do incomplete recovery.
can I use
Recover database ( with 18th cold backup) in mount state and apply archived logs.
Prabhath

The details of how you perform forward recovery using a cold backup depends on
1- rman or manual backup
2- using current or backup control file
3- if rman, recovery catalog or no recovery catalog
4- if full database recovered or only a few files
Each of these conditions will affect what is known to Oracle and what needs to be done. For example if you restored the entire cold backup including the control file then Oracle would see a consistent database and not need to perform recovery so you would need to startup mount and tell the database to perform recovery using a backup control file. If using rman and no recovery catalog you might need to catalog some of the archived redo logs, etc....
It is advisable to consult the Backup and Recovery manuals before attempting recovery for any new scenario.

Restore with brtools - need more archive redolog files
