RH7.0 and Oracle 8.1.6.1 (does this work???)
I'm losing my mind. I have a brand new installation of RH 7.0 and I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.6.1. The install goes fine, but I can't create any databases once the install has completed. I've tried creating the default database during the install, but the "database creation progress" never gets past 0% (creating database files). I've also tried using dbassist after installing oracle, and the same thing happens. I've also tried the following manually:
$ svrmgrl
SVRMGR> connect internal
Connected.
SVRMGR> startup nomount pfile=/usr/local/oracle/admin/RBLX/pfile/initRBLX.ora
At this point, SVRMGR just hangs. Any further attempts to connect to SVRMGR results in ORA-03113 end-of-file on communication channel. In order to connect using internal, I have to reboot the machine.
This is very disturbing. I'm using a machine with an i810 chipset, so RH6.2 is really not an option for me. If anyone has a successful experience installing 8.1.6.1 on RH7.0, please share the success story!!!
I'm dying here...
For clarification, here's the particulars:
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/lib
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
ORACLE_SID=RBLX
Here's the pfile:

# Example INIT.ORA file
# This file is provided by Oracle Corporation to help you customize
# your RDBMS installation for your site. Important system parameters
# are discussed, and example settings given.
# Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
# For parameters that require different values in different size
# installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
# and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
# installation size will have three settings, each one commented
# according to installation size.
# Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
# three scenarious provided in this file:
# -------Installation/Database Size------
# SMALL MEDIUM LARGE
# Block 2K 4500K 6800K 17000K
# Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K
# To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
# all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
# of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
# This way, when you change a public
# parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
# necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many
# parameters. For example, if you choose to use private rollback' segments,
# these must be specified in different files, but since all gc_*
# parameters must be the same on all instances, they should be in one file.
# INSTRUCTIONS: Edit this file and the other INIT files it calls for
# your site, either by using the values provided here or by providing
# your own. Then place an IFILE= line into each instance-specific
# INIT file that points at this file.
# NOTE: Parameter values suggested in this file are based on conservative
# estimates for computer memory availability. You should adjust values upward
# for modern machines.

This workaround is looking good. I was able to do a startup nomount to test. I just started running the dbassist scripts and things are moving.
Thanks for the post.

Hi All,
It seems you can't use SharePoint Designer 2010 to open a site if you have both forms and Windows Auth selected.
Is there any way around this if i want to use the 2 at the same time?
How does this work with SharePoint 2013 as i would be doing some migrations?
Cheers in AdvanceHi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue after you selected both FBA and Windows Authentication at the same time.
As I test, I can open the SharePoint 2010 site using FBA and Windows Authentication by SharePoint designer 2010. When you open the site first,
you will get a dropdown menu where you can choose between the 2 authentication mechanisms.
After you choose one of them, you can open the site.
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=40B702A9FB117DD!136&authkey=!ABtMg5n3OtPakCg&v=3&ithint=photo%2cPNG
When I open the SharePoint 2013 site using FBA and Windows Authentication by SharePoint designer 2013, I also get
a dropdown menu where I can choose between the 2 authentication mechanisms. I can open the site after I choose one of them.
So I think there are some other reasons to cause the issue.
Check these things below:
1. Check if you have the permission to open the site in SharePoint designer (Site Permission > Permission Level in ribbon > Click the permission you belongs to > Ensure Use Remote Interfaces is selected).
2. Check if you have enabled the SharePoint designer to open the SharePoint site. (Select the web application hosting the site collection using the FBA and windows authentication >Central Administration website > General Application
Settings > SharePoint Designer > ensure Enable SharePoint Designer
is selected).
3. Is there any error when you open the site in SharePoint Designer? If there are any errors, could you please provide it here for further research?

Oracle Applications 11i Load Balancing does not work with RAC one Node
Hi all,
Could you help me to resolve this issue.
Architecture environment is :
- One APPS tier node
- Two nodes Oracle Database Appliance (Primary node 1 holds INSTANCE_1 et Secondary node is configurured to holds INSTANCE_2), i.e RAC one Node.
- The primary node have instance_name SIGM_1 and the secondary node have instance_name SIGM_2, but in RAC one node, the secondary instance is not alive.
We convert our EBS 11i environment to RAC following note ID Using Oracle 11g Release 2 Real Application Clusters with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i [ID 823586.1].
When testing Database failover, Oracle Applications 11i load balancing does not work anymore.
The root cause is that, when the primary node of the Rac one node is down, the INSTANCE_NAME_1 is automaically relocating to the surviving node,.
During test failover, we imagine that when the primary node goes down, the secondary node start or relocate database with instance_name SIGM_2, and in that case the Oracle Applications load balancing works.
Currently, when the primary node goes down, the instance_name SIGM_1 is relocated on the secondary node, which cause failure of Oracle Applications Load Balancing.
Thank you for your advice.
MoussaThis is something I observed a long time ago for Safari (ie: around version 1). I'm not sure this is Safari, per se, but OpenSSL that is responsible for the behavior. I'm pretty sure Chrome does this and I've seen some Linux browsers do it.
What I have done at the last two companies I've worked for is recommend that our clients do not use SSL SessionID as the way of tracking sticky sessions on web servers, but instead using IP address. This works in nearly all cases and has few downsides. The other solution is to use some sort of session sharing on your web servers to mitigate the issue (which also means that your web servers aren't a point of failure for your users' sessions). (One of the products I supported had no session information stored on the web servers, so we could safely round-robin requests, the other product could be implemented with a Session State Server... but in most cases we just used IP address to load balance with). The other solution is to configure your load balancer to terminate the SSL tunnel. You get some other benefits from this, such as allowing your load balancer to reduce the number of actual connections to the web servers. I've seen many devices setup this way.
One thing to consider through this is that - due to the way internet standards work - this really can't be termed a bug on anyone's part. There is no guarantee in the SSL/TLS standards that a client will return the same SSL Session ID for each request and there is not requirement that subsequent requests will even use the same tunnel. Remember, HTTP is a stateless protocol. Each request is considered a new request by the web server and everything else is just trickery to try and get it to work the way you want. You can be annoyed at Safari's behavior, but it's been this way for over 5 years by my count, so I don't expect it to change. -

My iPhone was stolen. I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message. The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it. I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back? Are there other ways the theif can use it. I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.
Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes. If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. -
My co-worker has given me his iPod to take home and transfer his music to my laptop, however, I am unable to access his music to download it to my computer. How does this work?
You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before. -

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off". -
Every time I try to update the 4s or 4 it is saying not enough storage. I am really hating this phone now because I am not going to buy storage. We have 5 iPhones on our account and now because of iCloud it does this.
your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.
