Revoke SELECT ANY DICTIONARY from FLOWS schema

Is there any workaround for revoking SELECT ANY DICTIONARY from the FLOWS schemas? Or is there any list of which objects on the SYS schema the FLOWS schemas need access to?

Select any dictionary privelege required to connect as system

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to my 10g database with 9i OEM and i am facing strange error that "Select any dictionary privelege required"
I am able to connect as sys while i given the privilege still same error comes...
Another strange problem is I am not able to see my tempfiles in OEM while i am connected to 10g database with sys.
Thanks in Advance..
Anuj

Only way i can see it working is grant sysdba to your user and connect it. I have heard abut this before also. There are some compatibility issues with 9i OEM and 10g db.
Regarding tempfile do have tempfile in place. Chk dba_temp_files.

Granting SELECT on dictionary views ... (?)

Hi there,
please try to find out, what I am doing wrong below:
1. I connect as sys:
connect sys as sysdba
2. Create a role. Just to point out the problem, it will have just CREATE SESSION, CREATE PROCEDURE
create role tr not identified;
grant create session to tr;
grant create procedure to tr;
3. Now the problem: I want the role (users with that role) to have SELECT privilege, just on one dict-view, that is v$session:
My first attempt is denied:
grant select on v$session to tr;
grant select on v$session to tr
FEHLER in Zeile 1:
ORA-02030: can only select from fixed tables/views
Now this in itself is wierd. I read v$-objects are synonyms to v_$-objects. Is that right? What is the problem here? See, what happens next...
4. grant select on v_$session to tr;
That works!
5. create user tu identified by tu;
grant tr to tu;
That works!
6. Now connect as tu/tu
sql*plus Test: select count(*) from v$session;
COUNT(*)
46
works!
7. Now: create a simple stored function to perform the same as my query:
create or replace function testf
return number
is
res number;
begin
select count(*) into res from v$session;
return res;
end;
This is refused with ORA-00942: Table or view does not exist !!!
Simple query on v$session works, but its usage inside a stored function is not allowed??? Please explain!!!
Pointing out to the explanation in the documentation (just one link) would suffice. I just have not found an explanation for this behaviour!
Many thanks in advance!

Ok, It seems this GRANT, even though it is an object privilege it is handled like of those privileges, which can be granted only directly to a user and not to a role;
But on the other hand, the reaction is not the system:
When you try to grant UNLIMITED tablespace to a role you get a definitive error message: ORA-01931.
You don't get this error when granting SELECT on V_$SESSION to a role...
It's getting more and more wierd...
(Does anyone know a complete list of privs which can only be granted directly to a user? I thought it's only UNLIMITED TABLESPACE)

Is there a way to set up FF so that you can install a new dictionary and use it in addition to the dictionary you are already using?

I have managed to create a dictionary which contains a list of common chemical names and terms. But to use it you have to select the dictionary as a replacement for your normal language. As the chemical names are used in sentances constructed in a users normal language this is not ideal. Is there a way to install the new dictionary to work in an additive way to your existing dictionary?

Select from sys.all_ind_columns works in sql*plus but not in stored proc

I'm writing a query to find duplicate rows in a temporary table which has no unique index defined before I insert the data into the real table. I'm trying to query the sys.all_ind_columns view for the target table which belongs to a different schema:
SELECT column_name colnm
FROM sys.all_ind_columns i
WHERE i.table_owner = 'SUSDB'
AND i.index_name LIKE '%LUK'
AND i.table_name = &tbnm
ORDER BY i.column_position;
This works from my GUI interface and returns five rows but when I put it into a stored procedure I get now data returned. I have granted my userid SELECT ANY DICTIONARY authority. What else do I need?

In your situation you can always query the dictionary ... using your experience/imagination regarding predicates.

Appleworks dictionary move from iMac to Macbook

Help! I have read as many forum responses as possible but none seem to be specific to my problem. Maybe I am missing something right in front of my face. I have a new Macbook and moved my Appleworks program from my Mac OS X successfully, I thought, except for the dictionary won't transfer. Any help would be appreciated. I happen to like this for word processing and without the spell check feature it is a hassel to move every document to another program, check and then move back.
Thanks!
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello Barry
The name you gave are for pre 6.2 versions.
Since AW 6.2 the US dictionaries are:
English - Spelling
USA91.THS
English - Hyphenation
ENGPHON.ENV
The "International English" dictionaries are:
BRT55.THS
English - Hyphenation
BRTPHON.ENV
UK English - Spelling
And they may perfectly be stored out of the "AppleWorks Essentials:Dictionaries" folder.
Storing them in this one is simply easier to switch from one to another one.
The dialog designed to select one dictionary give us the ability to navigate quite everywhere.
I have a set of dictionaries in my French AppleWorks and the other versions are sharing the files from the French folder.

Not able select SYS.DBA_IND_COLUMNS table.

Dear all,
I am not able to select the records from the table SYS.DBA_IND_COLUMNS in my procedure, it shows table or view does not exists. but i am able to select the same as a separate query (not in procedure).
Please help me out in this.
Thanks,
Anand.

This is a standard oracle security functionality. You can select in a standalone query because you have been granted the privilege through a role, but roles are not active within procedures.
You need to have the privilege (probably select any dictionary) granted directly.

Grant access to the dictionary of another schema

Hello,
I am a bit rusty with my knowledge about privileges, so I am not too sure about the best way to implement the following :
User B must have access to all dictionary information about the objects of User A. User B does not need to perform SELECTs directly on the objects of User A. Security would be nice, but is not absolutely required, so an overkill could be OK.
From what I tested, it looked like granting object privileges on dictionary objects and/or granting the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege was never enough to see the lines corresponding to the objects of User A, and that it was required that User B also had SELECT privileges on all objects of User A.
Is that really so ? And if yes, is there a better way to achieve this than periodically running a PL/SQL procedure ? Of course I would prefer to grant those privileges all in once, so that it would also take future objects into account.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated !

actually, you should be more restrictive and grant only SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE instead of
SELECT ANY DICTIONARYPersonally, I'm not so sure SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE is more restrictive...
SQL> SELECT privilege, count(*)

Probably these are just Oracle oversights/quirks and I guess may vary from version to version. So it's worth understanding what privileges everything has.

"main dictionary is not installed"

Hello AppleWorkers,
I copied AppleWorks from our flat panel to a new MacBook. It works perfectly in all regards so far as we can tell, except for SpellCheck. When we click on the SpellCheck button, it gives the message "main dictionary is not installed". Assuming the main dictionary exists on my flat panel, where is it, and, can I copy it over to the MacBook, and if so, where do I put it? Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
When you moved AW over to the MacBook, did you copy the entire AppleWorks 6 folder (and contents) or just the AppleWorks 6 application?
It's necessary to bring the whole folder over.
If you've done that, you'll find the dictionaries in the AppleWorks 6 folder at
AppleWorks 6 > AppleWorks Essentials > Dictionaries.
To install, open any AppleWorks document then go:
Edit > Writing tools > Select Dictionaries..., select "Main Dictionary" then click Choose.
AppleWorks will take you to the correct folder, and will highlight the available "Main" dictionaries.
Repeat for each of the other dictionary types.
Regards,
Barry
PS: The normal AppleWorks Software User agreement licence covers only a single installation on a single computer at any given time. To stay within terms of that licence AW should be removed from the 'old'machine when it is copied over to the 'new' one.

Dictionary Option in Word 2013 Standard on Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services Server

We have a customer running Server 2012 R2 RDS with Office 2013 Standard. They are licensed for Office 2013 via Office 365. Office 2013 Standard is installed on the server via a using the Volume license as directed by MS.
Each user has a Microsoft Office 365 account.
When the user attempts to use the Right Click -> Define Option in MS Word, the user is prompted to sign in so they can select a dictionary.
This is where the problem begins. The login process does not accept the users Office365 account. I was able to create a new Microsoft account (using the same email address as the Office 365 account) and select a dictionary.
Is this the only method to get the dictionary to work? All 100 users must create another Microsoft account and use that to select a dictionary?

Hi,
What Word prompts when user attempts to login with the original account? Any error messages?
Since the feature will work if you create a new account, have you ever compared the property of these two accounts? Maybe the security or permission setting during the creation process?
We lack testing environment here for this kind of issues, and we have another dedicated support teams in
Microsoft Office 365 Community. I would suggest you to post there, where you can get more experienced responses:
