ROOT can't enter in the database

Hi.
I have a problem: I need to install a oracle 9i database to a client and configure it. Then, the client will administer the DB and I'll only make the full offline backup. I'll have the root password, but the client wants a way that me, with the root password, can't connect in his database.
How I can ensure it to him? If I do a su -oracle I'll can enter in the database with external authentication (connect /); I can copy the pwd file, changes the sysdba password with internal user, connect at the database as sysdba and after rollback the pwd file.
How I can solucionate it?

There's not a way to do this that I know of. Like Tim said it comes down to a matter of trust. It doesn't matter what database you're using,
Oracle, DB2, SQL Server... if you have the root/administrator account you can get into the database. If your client doesn't feel they can
trust you with the root password then they need to find someone they can trust.
Having said that, if you're client trusts no one I suppose the client could allow you root access for the install and then change the root
password after the install. This way the client knows you can't access the database while they're not watching you and you can ask
for their permission each time you need the use the root account. As far as I know you only need the root account to install the Oracle
software. Depending on if you're using OS or database authenication to access the database a user only needs the OSOPER or
SYSOPER role to backup a database. Here's what those roles allow a user to do:
Permits the user to perform STARTUP, SHUTDOWN, ALTER DATABASE OPEN/MOUNT, ALTER DATABASE BACKUP, ARCHIVE LOG,
and RECOVER, and includes the RESTRICTED SESSION privilege.
This means you could create another OS user account and use that for the Oracle backups. What this means for backing up UNIX
system files I don't know, I'm not a sys admin. I would think you'd still need to back up all system files using the root account.
Even if I have the ability to backup the database only what prevents me from restoring it on another server where I do have root access?
I could then su to the oracle account on the server I restored the database to and access the database. Better not tell the client about that!
Excuse my sarcasm, it's not directed at you. I just think your client has unreal expectations if they expect you to install and backup their
database but can't trust you.

Commands that can be entered in the 'Command Field'

Hello All,
Does anyone know all commands that can be entered in the 'Command Field'.
I am interested in the commands that start with &. For example &sapedit, &vexcel, &vgrid; etc. (OR commands such as PRFB; etc.)
Just curious, where all these commands are stored?
Thanks
Naved

Hi Nablan,
I tried your suggestion. I noticed that it lists some commands but not all.
Foe example, if I am in CMOD tcode; I clicked on GUI Status but nowhere I saw Command 'PRFB'.
According to a post in SDN, in CMOD tcode; by entering PRFB in the command field a list of all field exits are displayed.
Similary, in SE16n; there are field commands like &sapedit, &vexcel and &vgrid...
Please shed light on this,
Thanks

Only G/L accounts can be entered on the fast entry screen

We are currently upgrading our SAP environment from version 4.70 to ECC 6.0. Our users are testing their Parked Document fast entry screen entries created through F-65 and when they attempt to "view" their entry on the Fast Entry screen, after entering their data, they receive the message "Only G/L accounts can be entered on the fast entry screen" (message FP032). The system will not let them post the entry. The account field in the original fast entry screen was limited to 6 numeric digits, which is the length of our GL accounts and also the length of the account number used in the field when entering their posting.
I created a new fast entry screen layout for parked documents that opens up the field length to 15 characters and all works great. But I would still like to know why the original fast entry screen posted the error on the fast entry screen for an account number with the correct amount of digits.
Thanks,
Mary Lauber

Dear mary
Run program RFFAKP01 via transaction SE38. Enter program SAPLF040 / application PRPOS. Click on Execute.
This will regenerate the fast entry screen including your customized templates. And also, please check with O7E4/O7E5 to see if everything is set correctly.
If it helps please reward with points.

Can not login into the database 9i

I use WarehouseBuilder 9i's repository assistant to create new repository on a host.While the database is oracle 9i release 2 , the sysdba's name/password can't login into the database.But if the database is oracle 8.1.7 ,the sysdba's name/password can login.Why?
If the oracle 9i doesn't support WarehouseBuilder 9i ?

This is well known bug in OWH 9i.
The thing is:
1. Repository Assistant need to login under SYS and only SYS
2. SYS are allowed to login to Oracle 9i only AS SYSDBA
3. ... but Repository Assistant CANNOT correctly login by "SYS AS SYSDBA"
Solution:
1. Set Oracle 9i init parameter O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY=TRUE and restart database instance. This allow you to login as SYS (without SYSDBA) to Oracle 9i.

Hi did you tried implementing the solution given in
Unable to login to Visual Admin
Also go to this path and check

I can't enter to the Bios - Toshibe Satellite C55-B5287

Hello,
I could enter the Bios in the past, but after I installed a new windows, I can't enter to the Bios.
I tried to click F1-F12 (I know that I need to click F2 or F12, but those keys doesn't work).
I did a lot of tries, but it isn't working for me.
Someone know how to solve this problem?
P.S. - I have the minimum requirments for the game "Titanfall", but when I run it, it's working very slow...
I have another computer which has low Specifications more than this computer, and titanfall works like a charm there...
Why does it happen to me?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this. After starting the laptop so it's begun booting, hold the power button for 10+ seconds to force a hard shutdown. Hold the F2 key down and press the power button to start the computer again. Continue holding F2 even after you pressed the power button. It might take a couple tries.

Can't connect to the database after 1-2 day, Named Pipes Provider, error: 40,Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 121

HI
I have a problem. I can't connect to the database. It said :
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider,
error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 121)
When I restart the server, I can connect normally. But after 1-2 days, it can't be connected.

I can´t access to the database using SQLPlus

Hello to everybody,
I have installed Oracle XE without problems and my listener is running. Anyway I can´t acces to the database, when I try to log in i have this message:
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress.
I have tried to shutdown and restart the database and in startup i have start and mount confirmation messages but at the end appear this message:
ORA-01589: you must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option to open the database.
Ok, I try but an invalid option message appear. This is normal because RESETLOGAS and NORESETLOGS isn´t startup command options.
So I don´t know how to continue, any idea??
Thank you.

Known limit for how many characters can be entered in the To field when adding People and Groups ?

I am running MOSS 2007 SP1. I browse to site settings > People and groups and a group which has more than 60 members. I select all > Click Actions > Email Users. Nothing happens. I select less users, new outlook window comes up as it should. I am running outlook 2007. I first thought that the limit was 50 users, but different user selections let me select 51 users as well. I then concentrated on the character limit and I noticed that there were about 1580 characters in the To field when I selected 50/51 users.
Is there a known limit in sharepoint/outlook client for this function on how many characters can be entered in the To field?

Hello Amar,
This is a by-design behavior, not from SharePoint side, but Internet Explorer. The limitation by the 2083 characters in IE for the Max URL length is described in the following KB article:
(KB208427) Maximum URL length is 2,083 characters in Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;208427
As a workaround, you may need to divide the list up and not send all the email at the same time. Hope it helps!

How can I connect to the database using the Oracle Remote Diagnostic Agent?

Now I try to study RDA on Windows XP platform,when I run 'rda.cmd',there is a question 'Enter password for 'SYSTEM@'',what is the answer?
Because I didn't know how to connect to database,there are many error messages - RDA-00510: SQL execution disabled,What can I do?

Metalink Note:314422.1 to start
It is asking you to tell how to connect to 'the database that you are investigating' over a network. The answer .... the password for the userid called 'system' in the database specified after the @
I am confused ... you do not know how to connect to your database?

RDA ---Can not connect to the database

Folks,
I am trying to generate an RDA output for ORACLE SUPPORT
Database:10.2.0.4
Server: Win 32bit SP1
STEP 1: ran rda.cmd -S to collect config info
STEP2: run rda.cmd to generate output
at this time it asks me the password of the system username as sysdba and errors out saying
the following
Processing Initialization module ...
Enter the password for 'SYSTEM@abc as SYSDBA':
Please re-enter it to confirm:
The database to be analyzed (abc) does not appear to be accessible.
Please do one of the following:
- If the database is not started, start it in another session, then press
'Enter' to continue this script after the database has been started;
- Interrupt this script, start the database or solve the connection
problem, and next re-run rda; or
- Hit 'Enter' to continue this script without gathering information from
the database.
If you choose to continue without database connection, some information will
be missing and Oracle Support may request that rda be re-run.
Press 'Enter' to Continue
RDA-00501: Database access disabled due to a connection problem
Has anyone encountered this issue

Well, I'm not sure if Oracle can't even figure it out. I found this in a connection troubleshooting guide specific to windows....maybe give these a try just to verify again.
Troubleshooting Steps Common to Unix and Windows
Connection Issues
If RDA is unable to connect to the database, and the user is declared as a SYSDBA user when running the setup, ensure that a connection is possible with as the user using AS SYSDBA. For example, if SYSTEM is specified as the username, make sure that you can connect using the following command in sqlplus:
connect system AS SYSDBA
If you cannot connect, run the setup again and answer N to that question, or edit the setup file (setup.cfg) and set SYSDBA_USER=0. You can also use the 'TSTdb' test module to obtain more elements on the connection problem. This test can be performed using the following command(s):
For Windows run:
rda.cmd -T TSTdb or rda.pl -T TSTdb
For Unix run:
rda.sh -T TSTdb or rda.pl -T TSTdb
If you use TWO_TASK enviroment variable is used to connect to the database, then unset TWO_TASK and run RDA on the server local to the database. This is necessary because RDA depends on a local connection to the database, and automatically unsets TWO_TASK before performing any function.

How I can transfer data from the database into a variable (or array)?

I made my application according to the example (http://corlan.org/2009/06/12/working-in-flash-builder-4-with-flex-and-php/). Everything works fine. I changed one function to query the database - add the two parameters and get the value of the table in String format. A test operation shows that all is ok. If I want to display this value in the text area, I simply drag and drop service to this element in the design mode
(<s:TextArea x="153" y="435" id="nameText" text="{getDataMeanResult.lastResult[0].name}" width="296" height="89" />).
It also works fine, just a warning and encouraged to use ArrayCollection.getItemAt().
Now I want to send the value to a variable or array, but in both cases I get an error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties..
How can I pass a value from the database into a variable? Thank you.
public var nameTemp:String;
getDataMeanResult.token = authors.getDataMean(arrayOfNumber[0], dir_id);
nameTemp = getDataMeanResult.lastResult[0].name;
public var nameArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:uint=o; i<3; i++){
getDataMeanResult.token = authors.getDataMean(arrayOfNumber[i], dir_id);
nameArray[i] = getDataMeanResult.lastResult[0].name;
And how i can use syntax highlighting in this forum?

I have to go back to the discussion. The above example works fine when i want to get a single value of the database. But i need to pass an array and get an array, because i want to get at once all the values for all pictures tooltips. I rewrote the proposed Matt PHP-script and it works. However, i can not display the resulting array.
yep, it won't work for Arrays, you'll have to do something slightly more intelligent for them.
easiest way would be to get your PHP to generate XML, then read that into something like an ArrayList on your HTTPService result event (depends what you're doing with it).
for example, you could have the PHP generate XML such as:
<pictures>
     <location>test1.png</location>
     <location>test2.png</location>
     <location>test3.png</location>
     <location>test4.png</location>
     <location>test5.png</location>
     <location>test6.png</location>
</pictures>
then you'll read that in as the ResultEvent, and perform something like this on it
private var tempAC:ArrayList = new ArrayList
protected function getStuff_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
    for each(var item:Object in event.result.pictures)
       var temp:String = (item.@location).toString();
       tempAC.addItem(temp);
in my example on cookies
http://www.mattlefevre.com/viewExample.php?tut=flash4PHP&proj=Using%20Cookies
you'll see an example of how to format an XML structure containing multiple values:
if($_COOKIE["firstName"])
        print "<stored>true</stored>";
        print "<userInfo>
                <firstName>".$_COOKIE["firstName"]."</firstName>
                <lastName>".$_COOKIE["lastName"]."</lastName>
                <userAge>".$_COOKIE["userAge"]."</userAge>
                <gender>".$_COOKIE["gender"]."</gender>
               </userInfo>";
    else
        print "<stored>false</stored>";
which i handle like so
if(event.result.stored == true)
                    entryPanel.title = "Welcome back " + event.result.userInfo.firstName + " " + event.result.userInfo.lastName;
                    firstName.text = event.result.userInfo.firstName;
                    lastName.text = event.result.userInfo.lastName;
                    userAge.value = event.result.userInfo.userAge;
                    userGender.selectedIndex = event.result.userInfo.gender;
depends on what type of Array you're after
from the sounds of it (with the mention of picture tooltips) you're trying to create a gallery with an image, and a tooltip.
so i'd probably adopt something like
<picture>
     <location>example1.png</location>
     <tooltip>tooltip for picture #1</tooltip>
</picture>
<picture>
     <location>example2.png</location>
     <tooltip>tooltip for picture #2</tooltip>
</picture>
<picture>
     <location>example3.png</location>
     <tooltip>tooltip for picture #3</tooltip>
</picture>
etc...
or
<picture location="example1.png" tooltip="tooltip for picture #1"/>
<picture location="example2.png" tooltip="tooltip for picture #2"/>
<picture location="example3.png" tooltip="tooltip for picture #3"/>
etc...

How can I find out the database version from an old backupset

Hi,
I have to restore a database using an old backupset (4 years ago) to a new database. My challenge is we don't know what version of the database were used back then. Is there anyway I can find this information. We are using the RMAN catalog.
Or is RMAN restore and recovery can be used to a newer version than the backupset?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sosan Fong

Thanks for the reply and suggestion.
