SGA larger than ca. 500 MB?

Hey!
we are experiencing problems setting up an oracle instance with an SGA larger than about 500 Megs. The system is running Oracle 8.0.5.1 on redhat 6.2.
It definetly is no problem of some resource limit! ipcs -l shows values suited to about 5 gigs of SGA.
I even recompiled the kernel with the shared mem seg size raised to 128 megs - no difference.
An internal oracle paper I have seen tells me, they have tried the same tests as I have and have no clues how to fix it.
Any shared mem on Linux gurus on this list?

I also have this issue. It is showing up on the Vimeo support forums also. Vimeo states that it is the recurrence of an old issue, and that the fault lies with Apple iMovie ios. Those of us with Plus or Pro accounts on Vimeo do not have the 500 mb limit; however, iMovie is not detecting that fact upon connection with Vimeo, and simply takes the easy way out and limits everyone to 500 mb. The solution lies with proper code being programmed into iMovie itself, apparently.

Time Machine: Must external HDD be a large or larger than internal drive?

I have a 2TB HDD in a new iMac, and I have a couple of spare 500GB SATA drives I can liberate from my previous Mac. Before I buy enclosures for the externals, I'd like to know if TM requires an external drive the same size or larger than the internal drive it is to back up.
Though I have a 2TB internal drive, it has 1.79TB available, and I could probably use a 500GB for quite a while before I need a larger backup drive.
Thanks.

If you have only 210 GB on that 2 TB drive, then yes, a 500 GB drive will probably work fine, at least until you put a lot more data on your system.
It does vary a great deal, of course, depending on how you use your Mac. If you frequently change and/or replace a lot of large files, you may fill it up rather quickly; if not, it may not fill up for quite a while.

Vendor posting with discount base larger than open items amount

Hello,
I'm trying to do the following post:
Vendor (Debit) 500 u20AC
Cost Account (Debit): 1250 u20AC
Bank Account (Credit) : 2000 u20AC
VAT (Debit) 250 u20AC
And I got the following warning message: "Items rel. to cash disc. Total 750 larger than open items amounts total of 500u20AC".
This is because system is calculating a discount base for vendor of 750u20AC [ 500u20AC from vendor + 250u20AC from VAT).
This shouldn't happen because I have in customizing (company code global data) selected the option "Discount base is net value" so system should calculate the discount base without the VAT amount.
Do you know why is this happening?
Best Regards

So you want discount to be automatically populated when the open item is eligibile for discount?
There is automatic account assignment for this. Goto OBXI- give the gl account and posting key here.
This should take care.

Batch Resize photos Larger than a certain size.

Is there a way to have a script that searches a directory and any image files that are larger than 1000 x 1000 pixels are resized to 500 x 500 pixels and then saved over righting the sources file?
I am asking because our server has over 40,000 photos all over the place and I would like to reduce the space they take on the server.

I don't think that getting the file's length is the best way to determine if the file needs resizing. Especially if the file is in a format that supports compression. I think you would end up either setting the test value too low and open a lot of files that don't need resizing or set too high and miss files that do.
Also using getFiles() without a file mask will get all files and folders in the source folder. You will need to make sure it is an image file before trying to open in Photoshop to resize.
I think the function below would be a better way to determine if the file needs resizing. It tries to get the XMPMetadata to determine width and height. If that fails because the file does not have metadata it gets the size from Bridge.
var file = new File('~/desktop/_SLP7637.jpg');
var resize = needsResizing( file );
var resizeStr = ''
resize? resizeStr = 'needs resizing': resizeStr = 'does not need resizing';
alert(file.fsName+" "+resizeStr);
function needsResizing( file ){
    try{
        loadXMPLibrary();
        var xmpf = new XMPFile( file.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN,
                                   XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ );
        var xmp = xmpf.getXMP();
        xmpf.closeFile();
        var dim = xmp.getProperty( XMPConst.NS_EXIF, 'PixelXDimension', XMPConst.STRING)+','+xmp.getProperty( XMPConst.NS_EXIF, 'PixelYDimension', XMPConst.STRING);
        dim = dim.split(',');
        unloadXMPLibrary();
        if(dim=="undefined,undefined"){
            var dim = undefined;

            bt.target = "bridge";

            bt.body = myScript;
            bt.onResult = function( inBT ) {myReturnValue(inBT.body); }

In Tools/Account Settings/Disk Space I have changed the setting to "To save disk space do not download messages larger than 1000KB", but all are truncated.

This occurred a few months ago when I changed the Disk Space setting to "To save disk space do not download messages larger than 1000KB".
Since then Thunderbird has truncated every message I've received no matter what the size.
Not your fault, but made much more annoying because my server, Telstra (Australia) does not let me read more than two or three messages at a time without a delay, whereas if messages under 1000KB appear in my inbox automatically I do not have this problem.
Would really appreciate a solution, as when I've been away from my emails I can have a number accumulate and it wastes valuable work time waiting to download them.
thanks, Wendy

hi Matt, or someone else
Only rarely do I get an email larger than 1000kb. But not matter how small the email, even if only a few kb, Thunderbird truncates every single one, and after I have "untruncated" a few emails, the server refuses to let me untruncate any more for a few minutes. I have used the Thunderbird Disk Save tool for years previously with no problems, and I think this happened when I changed it from 500 to 1000kb a few weeks ago (may have been due to a Mozilla update). I truncate large files because I pay $45/month for 4GB of usage, with absolutely no option to Telstra because I live in the bush in Queensland and Telstra wireless is our only choice for broadband. I use Windows Security Essentials and don't know how to turn off email scanning in it if indeed it does scan my emails (have always assumed it does, but can't find a way to see if it is). In any case I wouldn't want to have this feature off permanently. This problem with truncating all emails has occurred after I started to use Windows Security Essentials. Any more targetted thoughts please to what I've explained above.

Increase SGA more than 3GB in Windows Server 2003 Ent. R2

Dear Sir;
I have 2 servers with Windows server 2003 Enterprise R2, both servers are 32 Bit, but windows can manage our 16GB installed on this server.
Our database is 10.2.0.3 (32 Bit) With RAC.
My issue is to increase Instances SGA to 7 or 8 GB. I failed to increase it more than 3GB in both nodes.
Please help
Thanks and best regards
Ali Labadi

Dear all;
I have walkthrough on all the documents you have sent and make the following changes on DB pfile:
1-     Remove the DB_CACHE_SIZE.
2-     Add a new parameter DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS
3-     Add a new parameter USE_INDIRECT_DATA_BUFFERS=TRUE.
4-     Increase SGA to 7000M
NOTE: Windows can manage my 16GB as 15.2GB of RAM
In OS level, update the boot.ini file by adding the following line:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition" /3GB /PAE
in Oracle home registry I have added the below string:
AWE_WINDOW_SIZE- value: 1073741824
Startup database using new pfile, returns error cannot start database using the current system setting, shared_pool_size must be larger than xxxx.
I have increased the shared_pool_size but no luck, even when I increase it to reach 1GB it also return the same error with same value which is less than 200MB
Please advice.

Adobe Reader crashes on importing form XML data larger than 500KB

I'm trying to import XML data into a PDF form using Adobe Reader. When the file size of the XML is smaller than 500 kilobytes, the PDF form loads the data fine. However, any larger than this leads to Adobe Reader crashing without a warning or error message.
I've tried this with Aodbe Reader versions 7.0.5, v9 and even the latest Adobe Reader X: same result. So the latest version does not have any patches for this issue so far.
To be more specific, the form is an IPC-1752-2 v1.0 Material Composition Declaration form. The XML data is generated by a software. Some of the XML files worked fine but others caused Reader to crash. Experimenting with a repeating data node, I tried different file sizes and came to the conclusion that Reader crashes past around 500KB.
Any patches or quick workarounds will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Firstly I woudl not use the submit by email button (it is too restrictive). You could create or build an email submit button. Just drop a regular button on the form (change the caption to something more meaningful). Now make it a submit button. A submit tab becaomes active. Click on that. In the Submit to URL field enter in the command:
mailto:[email protected], youremail [email protected]?subject="This is a subject"&cc="ccaddress if req"&body="This is the body if required"
You can control all parts of the message this way. Do a google search for mailto to see all of the different options.
Now you need to set what you are going to send. In the Submit As dropdown, choose PDF. Now a PDF will be sent. To be able to allow all users to send PDF you will have to Reader Extend the form. You can do this in Acrobat. Once all of this is done, open the form in Acrobat and under the Advanced menu choose Extend Features in Adobe Reader. Now follow the wizard and save your form. Distribute the saved form.

Navigate an image that is larger than the stage?

Hello, I would like some assistance getting this to work. I'm not even sure if its possible, but I will be eternally grateful for an answer.
I would like to have an image much larger than the stage, with little buttons all over it that play a MC when moused over. When the mouse reaches the edge of the screen, I want it to scroll so that the viewer can explore the whole image.
In short, its a map with destinations, and on mouse over the destinations play a MC. I'd like the viewer to be able to "explore" the map with the mouse.
It seems simple, is there a good way to do it?
Also, once it is done, is there a way to begin with the entire image shown, but then have it tween to its final (Very large) size, without breaking that functionality.
Thank you so much. This is for a class project and I'm trying to "go above and beyond" but, its a little to beyond for me.
Kayla

To make the image move, based on the mouse position you might do something like this:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkMouse);
function checkMouse(e:Event):void
     if(mouseX > 500){
          myImage.x -= 1;
     if(mouseY < 100){
          myImage.y += 1;
That's just a simple example. You'll need to check the bottom and left too... and you'll need to stop your image from moving past its edges:
if(myImage.x + myImage.width < theRightEdge){
     myImage.x = theRightEdge - myImage.width;
to keep it from going too far left...
I would also suggest using TweenLite to do your tweening. You can simply google TweenLite to find it.

Print the report on page has width larger than height and not landscape mode

Hi,
I'm trying to print report on page (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) which the width larger than the height.
The problem is windows keeps changing the page oreintation to landscape and when I change it back to portrait its changing the width to 13cm and height to 18cm.
I'm using dot matrix printer to print the report, if i put Landscape , printer is printing the text in horizontal.
Already i have tried to setup the custom for on printer, and used custom page size but it is changing to landscape.
I need to print the report with out preview, direct print top printer, NO PDF....
Thank you .....

Hi Anil,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. When I set (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) as the Report Page size, it would automatically convert Orientation from Portrait to Landscape. Because the Orientation displayed is dependent on the page
width and page height of the report.
But in my scenario, the Orientation option just change the Width and Height sizes, it couldn’t affect the text rotation. I guess this issue can be caused by the printer and printer driver, please try to update them. Reference:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15244336/printing-in-landscape-or-portrait-automatically-rotates-text-ssrs?lq=1
Hope this helps.

Database much larger than expected when using secondary databases

Hi Guys,
When I load data into my database it is much larger than I expect it to be when I turn on secondary indexes. I am using the Base API.
I am persisting (using TupleBindings) the following data type:
A Key of size ~ *80 Bytes*
A Value consisting of 4 longs ~ 4*8= *32 Bytes*
I am persisting ~ *280k* of such records
I therefore expect ballpark 280k * (80+32) Bytes ~ *31M* of data to be persisted. I actually see ~ *40M* - which is fine.
Now, when I add 4 secondary database indexes - on the 4 long values - I would expect to see approximately an additional 4 * 32 * 280k Bytes -> ~ *35M*
This would bring the total amount of data to (40M + 35M) ~ *75M*
(although I would expect less given that many of the secondary keys are duplicates)
What I am seeing however is *153M*
Given that no other data is persisted that could account for this, is this what you would expect to see?
Is there any way to account for the extra unexpected 75M of data?
Thanks,
Joel

Hi Joel,
Now, when I add 4 secondary database indexes - on the 4 long values - I would expect to see approximately an additional 4 * 32 * 280k Bytes -> ~ 35MA secondary index consists of a regular JE database containing key-value pairs, where the key of the pair is the secondary key and the value of the pair is the primary key. Your primary key is 80 bytes, so this would be 4 * (4 + 80) * 280k Bytes -> ~ 91M.
The remaining space is taken by per-record overhead for every primary and secondary record, plus the index of keys itself. There are (280k * 5) records total. Duplicates do not take less space.
I assume this is an insert-only test, and therefore the log should contain little obsolete data. To be sure, please run the DbSpace utility.
Does this answer your question?

My MBP has started to send out TCP packets larger than the MTU on the NIC - is there any place that this can be overriden?

Got a very weird issue here and wondering if anyone has any other ideas. Basically over the wired NIC only, my Mac has started to send out large HTTP/HTTPS packets from the browser (> 1500 bytes) Captures show packet sizes from 2000 all the way to 4000 sometimes. This happens in Firefox and Chrome so doesn't appear to be application related.
This causes fragmentation issues and traffic drops which basically causes most of my websites and tools to crash and burn (and I get all sorts of SSL errors from applications, etc).
It appears to be limited to just TCP packets as pings with the DF bit set will not send any larger than 1500 bytes.
However if I switch to wireless, everything works fine and captures show the correct maximum packet size of 1500 for all packets leaving my client.
The MTU on the en0 interface is 1500 as per ifconfig and I made sure that it was set to 1500 in Network config panel (because there is an option for jumbo frames there which bumps up the MTU).
A packet capture also shows that during the three way handshake the TCP MSS is successfully sent and negotiated as 1480, but then it appears to ignore that when sending packets later in the TCP stream.
I've rebooted, upgraded to 10.7.4, checked the "sysctl" outputs and matched against a Mac not having the issue.
This is the newest MBP 15 inch model.
Any other ideas on things to check?

Have you used any sort of "tuner" software? You are obviously an advanced user. Sometimes we hack things up and forget about it later. If you are sure you didn't do that, maybe poke around with IPv6 settings. Supposedly people are trying to enable that and it is going to be a disaster.

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size? I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems. They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

Exporting from InDesign to PDF, and the updated PDF is larger than a month ago and not printing easily on letter paper, it is PDF presets?

Hello,
I am exporting from InDesign to a PDF and the page is larger in the PDF then others I have exported. Is this because of the PDF presents? One of the project managers is not able to print it out on 8.5 x 11 paper, but the document presets for InDesign are the same as before. I wish I could upload the PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is larger than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF binder and the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets. Any thoughts?

Sadira00123456789 wrote:

I suspect the project manager simply has his/her copy of Reader/Acrobat set to print at actual size, rather than "Fit" (assuming the InDesign page size is truly 8.5 x 11).
..the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets.
It would have nothing to do with export presets. How are you determining that half-inch difference?
