RMAN's success/failure status

Version: 10gR2
For tracking/documentation purposes, we would like to know if our daily RMAN backup job was a success or failure.
I've searched Oracle documentation for views like
RC_BACKUP_CORRUPTION
RC_BACKUP_SET_DETAILS
.etc for this. But this doesn't seem to provide an accurate answer.
How do you guys track the status of your daily RMAN backups?

If you are using a FULL a query like this might be enough.
(I always check the RMAN Log daily)
SELECT OPERATION, STATUS, OBJECT_TYPE, TO_CHAR(START_TIME,'MM/DD/YYYY:hh:mi:ss') as START_TIME,
TO_CHAR(END_TIME,'MM/DD/YYYY:hh:mi:ss') as END_TIME
FROM sys.V_\$RMAN_STATUS WHERE START_TIME > SYSDATE -1 AND OPERATION = 'BACKUP'
and object_type = 'DB FULL'
order by start_time desc

Naming Context: NamingContext refers to the directory partitions that Active Directory comprises. Naming contexts include the three Read/Write naming contexts — domain, schema, and configuration — and the optional Read-only naming contexts
that are present on domain controllers that are global catalog servers. A naming context can also be an application directory partition. A naming context is specified as a distinguished name, which indicates its hierarchical relationship to the forest root
domain (for example, DC=MyDomain,DC=Microsoft,DC=Com).

Transport Type: See Transport Type section in this Microsoft article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755994(v=ws.10).aspx
As for the Number of Failures and the Last Failure Status
they are used to identify how many failures occurred since the last successful replication and the the status of the replication (If
Last Failure Status is equal to 0 then the replication is done successfully). Details here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2498185/en-us

Strange issue in custom Success/Failure captions

Hi,
I have a strange issue in my custom Success/Failure caption. If I use 'S' letter in my customized caption .bmp file, it is not showing properly in the captivate. Attached file is for your reference. I tried converting text into image in photoshop, still it shows the same thing. Any thoughts??
Thanks in Advance,
-Ajay

OK. That's what I thought.
So what I think is going on here is due to the way Captivate assembles text captions that can stretch to any size based on the component images. I think your corner image that contains the text is being stretched right at the point where the S character is located on the end of Congratulations. Captivate is achieving the resizable text caption by repeating the last few pixels of each background image.
If you want to test my theory, just make your Congratulations text slightly shorter (use a condensed font or make the font size smaller) and I think your issue will go away.

Custom Process Type in PC - ABAP pgm that returns success/fail status

Hello All,
I need to create a custom process type so that an ABAP program can return success/failure message to its successor. browsing through the forum posts i came across some links to a How-To document. but that link doesnt seem to be valid anymore.
I dint get much idea looking into the IF_RSPC_* interfaces and CL_RSPC_ABAP class.
Please let me know if anybody has documentation on this topic. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rit

Hi,
you can goto 'rspc' and then settings->maintain process types. there you can define your possibilities/results.
i read somewhere in forum like for failure in abap just need to raise error message within abap routine.
hope it helps,
regards,
anil

Suggestion: Click Box needs option to display success/failure caption until next click

As it stands right now, if I want to put several click boxes on a page and have the success captions for each appear in the same location, I can only set the success/failure caption to display for a limited amount of time. That is the only way to make the text disappear from the screen. The problem is, I want to have several different click boxes. When the user clicks, the success caption should display. Then the user shoudl be able to click on another click box and have the success caption for that appear in the same location. The problem is the success caption from the previous click box may still be displayed (depending on how long it was set to display for). There really needs to be an option to select that says display until next click. It does no good to guess how long a user will want to read the success/failure text before they decide to click on another text box.
You have the same problem with audio. As it is right now, a user can click on several click boxes and have several different audio tracks playing simultaneously. There needs to be an option to disable the first audio track upon clicking the next click box.
I can't believe this problem hasn't been fixed before this. It is a very annoying problem. I never had half the problems I have with Captivate, when I used Authorware. If there is some kind of work-around I'd like to know what it is.

My suggestion would be that you think a little further outside the box to solve this 'issue'.
It appears to me that you want to display information in captions that appear and disappear based on user interaction, correct? AND you also want audio to play at the same time, but you don't want more than one audio track to play, correct?
To achieve what you want requires at least two separate mouse events. One event triggers the caption and audio to appear. The other must trigger any previous captions to disappear and immediately shut off their audio. Since you don't know which of your objects will be the first one interacted with by the user, all of them must be set up to check for any previously invoked captions and audio before turning on their own caption and audio.
Now all of this CAN be done using Captivate's variables and advanced actions. But there IS a much simpler solution staring you in the face. Why is it essential that all of this MUST happen with mouse clicks? Why not use mouse overs events instead?
Captivate provides rollover caption and rollover image objects for which you can attach audio to the object that appears on rollover. These objects have two mouse events (rollover and rollout). Rollover triggers the caption to appear so that the text displays and it's audio plays, while the rollout triggers the caption to disappear and automatically shut off the audio. This means that the user merely needs to move their mouse around the screen rolling over the hot spots to see information and hear audio. And if you just place a click box or button on the slide to pause the playhead, your user can spend as much time as they want reviewing the content before moving on. You don't have to worry about rewinding the playhead with Advanced Actions because clicks on your content objects would resume play.
These rollover objects can be set up in seconds with audio attached. I'm surprised more Captivate authors don't use them given how easy they are to apply in comparison to other click-driven solutions using Advanced Actions.

Is it possible to hide success/failure captions in the test, but make them available in the review?

Hi Everyone
I've got a 50 question, timed quiz and we want to disable the success and failure captions because they slow the students down, frankly, are kind of annoying. However, we want to allow the users to review the quiz after taking it. The problem is that the review feed back seems to use the success/failure object, so, when you review the quiz, you just see the questions with no feedback. Kind of pointless. Does anyone know of a way to disable (or remove) the success/failure captions in the quiz, while providing feedback in the quiz review?
Thanks

Hello,
For the moment a lot of people are still working with CP4, others have adopted CP5 already, so it helps if you mention the version you're using.
The feedback showed during review is in the Review area (you can see it in the slide on the stage). The message in this Review Area is not linked to the Correct/Incorrect/Incomplete messages you can show during answering the Questions. If you are using CP5 you can deactivate the Correct and Incomplete messages in the Quiz Properties panel, region Options. You cannot deactivate the Incorrect message. If the user answers correctly and the Correct caption is not there, the project will continue after clicking on the Submit button. However when the user answers incorrectly, the Incorrect message will appear however, instructing them to use 'Y' or click on the slide to continue.
During Review the user will see the Review Message, if you allowed Review (Quiz Preferences, Settings). The message showed is configured in the "Quiz Review Message' that you'll see in the Properties panel when the Review area is selected (or using the button 'Quiz Review Messages...' in the Quiz Preferences, Settings). If the user answered correctly, the message 'You answered this question correctly" (is indeed similar to the Correct caption). If the user answered incorrectly, his answer will be displayed and the correct answer (which is different from the Incorrect caption).
Hope this explains the difference. If you are using CP4, let me know and I'll try to explain the workflow in that UI.

On linux i cannot open firefox 33 due to exiting with failure status due to previous errors, file exists.

I am a newbie to computers and tried to update my firefox & downloaded it off of mozilla and tried to follow the commands as it was suggested for linux (ubuntu 10.04) to install it. Now when i click on the firefox 33 icon it shows that on command line ouput, tar: file exists, tar: exiting with failure status due to previous errors shows up. What do I need to do to update my current firefox? Please HELP!

Hi jadej740,
There are better forums for this knowledge, as Mozilla does not compile linux packages per build. [http://askubuntu.com/ Ask Ubuntu.com]
They may be able to give you a better answer. [[Install Firefox on Linux]]

Broken success kit status

This is my second success kit status received like this:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/849/sdc13008c.jpg/
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/18/sdc13011y.jpg/
Now i want to know, how is this possible? I know they are sent via DHL Global Mail, but it's the second time i raised a SR for this "broken" success kit (last year i've had one identical, broken), and guess what.. the OCP Team asked me to confirm that my address (shipping address and e-mail address) are correct, even if the address is unchanged, 100% correct and has nothing to to with the real problem (you see, the pack - and also the diploma - is broken).
I'm from Romania, and i'm sure this happens outside the Romania, i've asked the local DHL and they told me they received the pack broken, from outside..
Anyone who has encountered this so far?

I'm not sure how this could happen, but you can contact Oracle Certification Support and ask for a reship. It looks like something that has happened as the envelope has been sent through a marking machine at a mailing facility. I'll send these pics to our fulfillment team to see if they can help determine the problem, but once the kits are packaged, they don't go through any additional processing at our facility, they are picked up by DHL and processed further.
When you contact Oracle Certification Support, go ahead and indicate that you have already confirmed your address in your Pearson VUE profile and that it is correct. Any time a candidate contact OCP support for a certificate reship, they request address confirmation. You'd be surprised at how many addresses are not correct, so we ask for confirmation as often as possible. They will also send you a soft copy of your certificate, which you will receive right away. Sorry that you'll have to wait on another certificate. Hopefully this one will come undisturbed.

How to check the success/failure of e-mail sending from Sharepoint?

Dear Expert,
I connect Exchange 2010 and SharePoint 2010. When user create workflow in sharepoint, it will send the email to confirm. if it's done. but I checked from user they didn't get the email. I would like to know how to check the success/failure of e-mail
sending from Sharepoint?
Thank you

By default, there is no logging mechanism in SharePoint for outgoing mails.
Mails in SharePoint are sent by giving an SMTP sever IP address in Central Administration. SharePoint never sends email directly. It relays or routes mails to the SMTP server. So, logging should be done in the SMTP server itself.
There is also another way of doing it. You can enable SMTP service of IIS for sending emails from SharePoint, which would also just relay the mails to an SMTP Server. But in this case, you can enable logging in your IIS SMTP Service. Please visit this blog
for more details.
In your case you need to check your exchange server for any failure for relaying mails.

Testing success/failure of archiveLogFile() method of servermanager

When attempting to archive a log file programmatically using the archiveLogFile() method of servermanager is there a way to test the success/failure of the action. I tried
adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("topsecret");
serverObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi._servermanager.servermanager");
result = serverObj.archiveLogFile("logfilename");
writeDump(result);
However, result is undefined.
Thanks!

That function has a void returntype, that's why.

Instead you'd have to do something like a directory read to see if the file had been renamed.

Submit Trnsc in Background and know the Sucess/failure status

Hello All,
I need to submit a transaction with variants in the background. I need to knwo whether the transaction completed successfully or failed in my Program and then send an email to a list of people based on the status .
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this? How to know in the program that the transaction completed/failed?
Thanks

Hello,
If you had scheduled a transaction with some variants as a background job then I believe you should be able to see whether that is successful or not using transaction se37.
If you want to send an email of the output of that job then you may have to set up groups in lotus notes or outlook and the people in that group will receive an email when the job is succesfully finished or failed otherwise.
There is a FM which will help you to display the detail log of the background jobs. Do a displaylog* in se37 transaction.
Thanks,

NEED TO RECOVER A DATABASE USING RMAN with CONTROL FILE AND NO RMAN CATALOG, DISK FAILURE..

Hello All,
The disk failure caused our production data on the disk to be resotred with the backup data available and recovered through RMAN with cotrolfile , and no catalog DB is configured.
I had the restored the spfile and control file then recovered the database,
startup nomount;
RESTORE SPFILE FROM ' path ' ;
Shutdown immediate;
startup nomount
Restore controfile from autobackup;
restore database;
[AT POINT , A MESSAGE PROMPTED LIKE " failur of restored command - some targets not found" (thinking may be few archives are not found, i proceeded to incomeplete recovery of DB) ]
recover database;
Finished reocvery .
Now in the Grid control i see that 60 blocks of a particular datafile are corrupted and needs recovery. Do i need to get the data file resotred again and recover it or any simple way to recover this data file
When i perform the block recovery , it says recovery failed and when i run the data file recovery it succeeds. Please provide you inputs to recover the database as it is production BI database and pretty critical to our client.
Thanks for your valuable time in advance.
Regards,
Ran G.

These is a common problem if the object are created due to NOLOGGIN option. If you check most of the object which are facing block corruption is indexes .
Use the below query to check the objects :
It will map each block from v$database_block_corruption to either a segment or if the block is free.

BPM - PI/XI Integration to get success/failure message from PI into BPM?

Hello Experts,
I happen to run into following scenario:
I have a BPM Process created in NWDS CE 7.2. This process allowes to create a record in SAP. When a user requests to create a record and fill out the required details, it goes to approver for approval. Upon approval, record gets checked-in to MDM and then from MDM it is syndicated to SAP R3 using an IDOC. Now, what I need is, if PI/XI is succesful to create that record in R3, then the success message should be sent to BPM for performing some further actions. And if it is a failure message returned from PI/XI then BPM will take a different lane.
Can I do this? If yes how? I read about PI Integration Repository, Java Mapping APIs etc but to be frank I am not able to understand it at all. Please help.
Ameya

Thanks John,
Before I close this thread, following are my understandings:
1) I need an intermediate event who's trigger will be mapped to PI service
2) That means, PI will use this webservice for sending the reply back to BPM event
3) Accordingly BPM flow will be decided
End-point URL is the WS URL and that is also available in WS Registry. Apart from this, whatever PI side configurations or development is required that is out of our purview. Is that correct?
