Should not unzip file under $ORACLE_HOME

OS:AIX 5.2
OS: Linux 86
E.G:
echo $OARCLE_HOME
/opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/database
I am applying Patch 4505133_10105 on my above two servers.
I have downloaded p4505133_10105_LINUX.zip or AIX.zip and move to /opt/oracle.
In my uderstanding , I should not unzip file under $ORACLE_HOME or $ORACLE_HOME.
I need to do as follows:
cd /opt/oracle/Disk1
./runinstalleris it ok?
Please confirm

You can unzip it to any directory, need not be the one under ORACLE_HOME. But during installation, you need to specify the correct ORACLE_HOME path, the one to be patched.

Accidently deleted the files under $ORACLE_HOME/bin

Hi,
I am working on a HPUX ia64 machine wherein I have 2 Oracle Homes.
1. 11.1.0.7_1Q10 -> 11.1.0.7 patchset with CPUAPR2010 patch and
2. 11.1.0.7_3Q10 -> 11.1.0.7 with DATABASE PSU 11.1.0.7.4 (INCLUDES CPUJUL2010)
Accidently yesterday while dropping a database and deleting its sub folders, I unknowingly deleted the files under $ORACLE_HOME/bin. (11.1.0.7_3Q10)
The moment I realized the mistake, I cancelled (Ctrl+C) the operation. But by then, few files were already deleted!
Now I am planning to copy the missing files from the bin directory of the other Oracle Home (11.1.0.7_1Q10).
Is that a recommended solution. And will it work? I have around 5 databases in the affected home (11.1.0.7_3Q10). Is there a possibility of a disaster due to this situation?
Appreciate your thoughts on this!
Thanks!

As of now, I do not have the backup of the filesystem. Also I have copied the missing files from the bin directory of 11.1.0.7_1Q10.
Till now no application users have complained about any issues. The alert log of all 5 databases have no errors reported.
So I assume there shouldnt be any issues! And things should work as normal!

Auto unzip files under downloads folder

- any downloaded files will go to "downloads folder" on the dock.
- any "zip" type of files will unzip(decompress) on it's own under "downloads folder" right after the download action is completed.
my question:
1. is it safe for the zip file to unzip by itself? will I somehow get virus this way?
(if there are any virus in the zip file).
2. is there any way to turn this auto unzip feature off?
(note that: it only unzips on it's own under "downloads folder" on the dock right after download is completed.)

1. This shouldn't be a problem, but you can never be too safe.
2. If you are downloading your files using Safari, do the following:
Safari > Preferences... > General (Tab) > Open "safe" files after downloading (Uncheck)

During daily refresh/clone alter database rename file genrating logs under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs with name c-1437102747-20130920-16

Did anyone have seen this behavior?
DB version : 11.1.0.7
OS : HP-UX Itanum
EBS -11.5.10.2
We are doing daily refresh/clone of a database instance from production. Recently we are seeing the growth of $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory during this
refresh.   During investigation we find out that
1) When we rename the database files after database restoration. Each below command genrating the 24MB of log file under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
Command :
alter database rename file '/db02/prod/XDB.dbf' to '/db02/test/XDB.dbf';
alter database rename file '/db02/prod/a_archive01.dbf' to '/db02/test/a_archive01.dbf';
Logfiles under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs on target :
-rw-r----- xxxxx 24379392 Sep 20 05:30 ./dbs/c-1437102747-20130920-02
-rw-r----- xxxxx 24379392 Sep 20 05:30 ./dbs/c-1437102747-20130920-03
2) After few minutes, these logs got removed from the directory.
3) Did not find anything unusual in the alert log.

These are controlfile autobackups.   Every time you make a physical change to the database structure, an autobackup is created. In 11.2, the frequency is reduced -- for example if you make 5 changes in quick succession, one autobackup is created.
CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON    would be visible when you do a SHOW ALL in rman.

Where should be the file of database if i use windows version of oracle

hello
where should be placed the file of database if i use windows version of oracle ?
will be there some special partion for dadtabase file ?

i seatch for such database file in oracle ? And why would you expect Oracle to have the same file(s) as some other product?
Oracle implements it's databases with multiple data files, not just one. And that's in addition to all of the various files that make up the software, apart from any databases.
You definately do not want to put the database files under ORACLE_HOME. If you have any choice at all, I wouldn't even want them on the same partition. A default installation and db creation may try to put them there simply because that is the one directory structure oracle can count on being there. But that is one default that is far from best practice.
The minimum partition configuration I'd want for a Windows server hosting an Oracle database is ....
c:\ - operating system only
d:\ - Oracle home, admin, and one set of all duplexed files (control, redo)
e:\ - all other database files
For the 'sandbox' setup on my personal laptop, where I only have a c: drive, I still break it out ...
c:\oracle\app\product\10.2.0 <-- Oracle Home
c:\ora1\mysid\ <--- some data files
c:\ora2\mysid\ <--- some data files
c:\ora3\mysid\ <--- some data files
Take a look at this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A97297_01/appg_ofa.htm
It is out of the 9i docs, and is directed to unix, but if you will read and understand the principles it is a good guide even for Windows. You can also google "optimal flexible architecture" and get lot's of other docs.
I dare say that at this point It would be a good investment in your career to go to tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version. There you will find the complete doc library.
You should spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there. Learning where to look things up in the documentation is time well spent on your career.
Read the 2-Day DBA manual cover to cover.
Notice the 'search' function at that site.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Look in your alert log and find all the non-default initialization parms listed at instance startup. Then read up on each one of them in the Reference Manual. Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files, then look up what you see there in the network administrators manual.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.
Am I wrong ?

How does FF determine what to block? Files under /css/apps/ blocked /css/applications/ not

On Firefox 31 specifically I've noticed that some desktops won't load a page that has resources linked to /css/apps/. Specifically I'll log into a website, see an intermediary waiting page, then the request for the home page is made and all of the content EXCEPT the css files under /css/apps/ is requested and returned. However, no message is ever rendered by FF 31 regarding any phishing or malware issue. It appears to invoke the goog safe-browsing/safe-search url and comes back with a malware response, but the tab spinner just spins and the status bar continues to say waiting and the page never loads.
What's worse is that there doesn't seem to be any set criteria where I can reproduce this except that it happens in Firefox 31 and Firefox 32 that has been upgraded on a FF31 that was already failing. Some machines work just fine, others do not. Some appear to self-heal one day and then later others spontaneously break.
It's only this single page using this single directory. So what's the criteria or is there something else I should be looking at?
I've been able to fix the problem by deleting goog-phish-shavar.pset on affected machines. But I feel like that might only temporarily fix things? What's the permanent solution for avoiding this problem.

Try to use the Live Http Headers extension to see if that captures requests that are missed by the Web Console.

Also, as always should be done with mysterious crashes is a clean reinstall (delete the Firefox program folder) and possibly a new profile and a check for malware and reset the router.
Try to disable IPv6 (check for other possible causes as well).

Error - Server file should not be empty- while uploading Text files in RAR

Hi,
We are uploading SU24 text files but we are getting the error "Server file should not be empty" while uploading the Description files in RAR 5.3
We followed the same naming covention and also used UTF-8 format for the text files. We placed the file in our Desktop as well and tried uploading into RAR - but still the same error is being thrown?
Are we missing something here?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Srihari.K

Hi and thanks to the answers so far.
I forgot to mention some points :
- I'm using forground import
- we are trying to use RAR to run risk analysis on non-sap systems as well as SAP (single or cross-systems).
So the file I'm trying to upload does not come from a SAP backen, but was created from scratch.
However the data in the files are coherent (and I compared with a SAP extraction, the format is the same)
here is a sample of the file I try to upload : (an that is actually what I'm trying to import as a test file)
sap_auth.txt:
OEITIAC     GTIAC     SEL     1
OEITIAC     GTIAC     MOD     1
OEITIAC     GTIAC     INS     1
OEITIAC     GTIAC     SUP     1
each element (ACT/PRM/FLD/VAL) is defined in the sap_desc.txt file that I loaded first (without error).
note that each column is separated by a single TAB (with an empty column at the end of each line).
each line is terminated by a CR/LF
I tried UTF-8 with and W/O BOM

Windows media player files will not play. I downloaded the plug in but does not show up under plugins. Why won't it load?

Whenever I try to play a wmv file through firefox it will not load. It was not a problem a few weeks ago. Under plugins it is saying I do not have windows media player. So I tried downloading it using the troubleshooting directions from firefox. But it still will not show up under plugins. Any help would be much appreciated.

'''np-mswmp''' in your Installed Plugins listing ''(in '''More system details''' to the right of your posting)'' is the Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox.

Does my Mac 10.9.5 have a built in compression system to unzip files? If not what utility is best?

Does my Mac 10.9.5 have a built in compression system to unzip files? If not what utility is best?

It does. Select any file you want to compress. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Compress ... from the context menu. To decompress simply double-click on the compressed file to open it. If you have any problems then get The Unarchiver 3.9.1 for decompressing. Use The Archive Browser 1.9.1 to do both.

File should not be processed until completely written

Hi Experts,
My scenario is proxy->file(xml). The file will be huge.
Once the file is kept on the target location, some crons will pick this file for processing.
How can I make sure that the file should not be picked by crons until the file is completely written on the target location by PI file receiver adapter?
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards, Prasad

Hi Satish,
Thanks a lot for yout reply. I have another question on the same.
When XI creates temporary file, where will this temporary file be created?
And please correct me if my understanding is correct on below.
If we select 'Use temporary file', then XI first creates this temporary file, writes all the data to it and then moves the whole file to the target location. And if we select 'directly' then XI first creates the file on target location and then it starts writing the content to the file. Is this understanding correct?
Thanks a lot.

Prasad

I guess I should not have messed with my file sharing pref...now I'm toast

I use my Airport to connect to my DSL.
I was "messing around" with my SHARING configuration (Apple...System Pref....Sharing...) and did something awful. I no longer have wireless connection to my Verizon router. I can hook up and get online (as I'm doing now) with Ethernet , but not Airport.
The Airport ICON is now GREY and has an ARROW (pointing UP) though it. Never seen that before.
And when I click on the icon I can't find my net work. The other Macs in the house work fine with airport.
Verizon tech support could not help.
How can get my Sharing preference back to normal (I was trying and guessing how to connect my other imacs around my home , without really knowing what I was doing. And I did something in there to screw this up).
Help please
JON

Sys Prefs Sharing should not have messed up your ability to connect wirelessly to your router.
Click on the  on your menubar, click on "About This Mac" then click on "More Info..." Find "Airport Card" under "Network" and click on it. Does it say something like "No information found" or is your Airport card being recognized? If Airport is recognized as existing, I would next look in Sys Prefs Network, authenticate on the padlock in the lower lefthand corner, click on AIrport then click on Advanced, then check stuff in there, like on the Airport tab, is your home network listed there anymore? Try deleting it and readding it. Under TCP/IP, are you using DHCP (or whatever you use)? Or might it have gotten changed to a setting that is incompatible with your router's settings?
To get the Sharing Prefs "back to normal," just uncheck all of the checkboxes in Sharing and it will be back in its OEM state.
