Simple RMAN question

Hi,
Is there a way to run command line sqlplus commands from the rman command line. I'm sure I saw someone doing it once. Just to save time jumping between RMAN and sqlplus all the time
Many thanks

Please,
Always include platform and version (4 digits).
Also, please, as this forum is manned by volunteers, try to read the docs prior to posting, as instructed by the Forums Etiquette post.
This is a forum, and not a chatroom.
In this case you could simply have read up on the RMAN sql command.

4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
How to Fade a Graphic
I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames. THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer().. The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

Simple performance question

Simple performance question. the simplest way possible, assume
I have a int[][][][][] matrix, and a boolean add. The array is several dimensions long.
When add is true, I must add a constant value to each element in the array.
When add is false, I must subtract a constant value to each element in the array.
Assume this is very hot code, i.e. it is called very often. How expensive is the condition checking? I present the two scenarios.
private void process(){
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         if (add)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
         else
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
private void process(){
if (add)
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
         matrix[i][ii][iii][...] += constant;
else
for (int i=0;i<dimension1;i++)
for (int ii=0;ii<dimension1;ii++)
for (int iii=0;iii<dimension1;iii++)
    for (int iiii=0;iiii<dimension1;iiii++)
       matrix[i][ii][iii][...] -= constant;
}Is the second scenario worth a significant performance boost? Without understanding how the compilers generates executable code, it seems that in the first case, n^d conditions are checked, whereas in the second, only 1. It is however, less elegant, but I am willing to do it for a significant improvement.

erjoalgo wrote:
I guess my real question is, will the compiler optimize the condition check out when it realizes the boolean value will not change through these iterations, and if it does not, is it worth doing that micro optimization?Almost certainly not; the main reason being that
matrix[i][ii][iii][...] +/-= constantis liable to take many times longer than the condition check, and you can't avoid it. That said, Mel's suggestion is probably the best.
but I will follow amickr advice and not worry about it.Good idea. Saves you getting flamed with all the quotes about premature optimization.

A few simple Logic questions...please help.

I have a few probably simple Logic questions, that are nonetheless frustrating me, wondering if someone could help me out.
1. I run Logic 8, all of the sounds that came with logic seem to work except organ sounds. I can't trigger any organ sounds (MIDI) on Logic, they won't play. I have a Yamaha Motif as my midi controller.
Any idea why?
2. I've starting running into a situation where I will record a MIDI track, the notes are recorded but they won't playback. The only track effected is the one that was just recorded. All other midi tracks playback.
I have to cut the track, usually go out of Logic and back in, re record for it to playback properly. Any idea why this may be happening?
3. How important is it to update to Logic 9. Are there any disadvantages down the road if I don't upgrade. If I purchase the $200 upgrade, do I get a package of discs and material, or it just a web download.
Any help is appreciated!

you titled "simple quick question"...
.. complicated to answer..
a) the TermsOfUse of the iTS don't allow any processing of purchased files, these are "copy protected"..
b) iM has a voice-over function..
c) iM is a video-edit app.. easy to use... just learn to handle it...
d) iM allows to "extract" audio (=muting the original audio, adding your own..)
e) to learn iM, spend some time here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/imovie/index.html
f) use pencil and paper first! WRITE and scribble, what shall happen when in your movie/parody... make a script, draw a storyboard .. THEN launch iM.. in other words: think first, then edit.. iM is just a tool, it does not "create"... Picasso needed a papertowel and half a stencil to create art....
g) to get comfortable with iM, start with your own, small, short (3min!) project... import some stills, edit them, add a funny voice-over, add sounds, add music... good? make a bigger one...
h) .. in our Lecture II, we teach you how to import shows from TV, youtube, wherever..

Simple query question

hi all,
I have a XMLType table with one column - I have presently one row, in my column xmlsitedata I have stored one large xml file.The schema definition is given below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
- <xs:element name="siteList">

I have executed the query below:
select x.XMLSITEDATA.extract('/siteList/site/nameEn/text()').getCLOBVal() "stName" from wsitelist x;
and I get all english names of some 200 locations, however, there is 1 row selected and all names show up on one row. How do I split them into 200 or whatever rows?
Thanks,

Simple Report Question

Post Author: scott123
CA Forum: General
I want to take the information in a simple excel table and recreate it 3 times, each time sorting/grouping on a different columnHere is the tableAnd here is the report that I'm trying to generate (first sorted by name, alphabetically, then grouped by rank, then grouped by size) I'm comfortable working with excel tables in Crystal, but I'm running into a problem repeating the information and then sorting each group separately. I also have no problem doing each group in a single report (without repeating any records), but I'd like to include all 3 groups in a single report. My apologies for how remedial this question is- I thought for sure that Crystal could do this easily but I've spent a couple of days on this and am running into a brick wall.

That's right Scott, and maybe make them "on demand"
sub reports so the user only has to see the data they
really want at the moment. Gives the report a nice clean look too.

A simple security question

I'm trying to write a simple self-signed applet that use a jca provider but thi exception "java.security.SecurityPermission putProviderProperty.BC" is thrown. if I use a policy file, it works fine but for a beginner user is not very useful intall a new policy file.
After this I tried to write a new self-signed applet that read a file and open a ServerSocket on port 21, and it work fine without a new policy file!
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????
PS
if u have an idea to resolve my problem without a policy file, tell me pls!!! IT'S URGENT!!

An applet works out of a so-called sandbox. The security restrictions can be overcome in one of two ways that you have tried:
1) by the use of a policy file, or
2) by signing the applet
So, to answer your question:
My question is this: why is needed a policy file to add a provider and not to open a ServerSoket or read/write a file???????Since the applet is signed, there is no need for a policy file......if you tried to access the socket without signing the applet, you'll get the security exception!

A somewhat simple security question......

If a mac running macosx has two separate user accounts, lets say one admin and the other a standard user, or both admins or both standard users.....
Is it possible for a hacked/penetrated account on one of the users to affect or read any info from the other user on the same machine ?
What application is in question; Safari lets say.....

No java, No javascript, No plugins like flash, java, shockwave, quicktime, or adobe crap.
So, no functionality. What about that java applet I need to run 10 hours a day. Do you think I should go out of business over it? Or all my QT movies? Or, deprive myself of Flash, so I can't view the content of websites?
So, lets say you browse www.thissiteisinfected.com and have everything uninstalled (see above), and your smart enough to browse the web using a "STANDARD" user account and not the "ADMIN" user account.
Running from a standard user buys you nothing and adds additional steps. If you want to download an app, before you install, you will get a dialog warn you "XXXX is an application you downloaded from the internet..." So, you still have to authenticate. And what about *all the apps that need no authentication to install?*
You tell me how this website will inject crap into your MAC with the settings above???
There is no way to FORCE CODE into your browser if everything is disabled.
Tell me how it can "inject crap" into my "Mac" admin without my complicity.
I have bumped into a rouge antivirus website while on my macbook using safari.
All of a sudden a popup stated i had spyware, i could'nt close the box/window, I had to do a FORCE QUIT on SAFARI to get out of that page. It pretty much hijacked SAFARI.
This is nothing that can harm you. It is annoying having to force quit over it, but that is all.
My safari download settings place things on my desktop, sure enuff, there was a .EXE file sitting on my macbooks desktop.
Sure enough, your Mac can't do a thing with it.
NOTHING IS BULLETPROOF.
I agree but there are simpler ways to plant a rootkit you overlook, that have nothing to do admin accounts or ports. *The question is, who would want to?* Even if a black hat is randomly hunting for bank account numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, etc. he would pass up a UNIX based system with good protections in place for an easier target.
In short, in a home environment, I could never recommend running from a standard user. Especially if they are on a router and/or using OS X firewall. (The exception being if you have kids and want to use parental controls.) I have no idea how this mantra about using a non-admin account started, there is no place where Apple recommends this.

Simple Query Question - How do I return the Last 3 records of a Table?

Question.
For example, I have a table that has 50 records.
How do I, specify in SQL to only return the last 3 records of the table.
Select a.* from table a where ????

I was just trying to show an example to a friend on
how something like this would work and if it was even possible. But it won't work. Here's a simple example:
SQL> create table emp
2 (id)
3 as
4 select object_id
5 from   all_objects
6 order by object_id;
Table created.
SQL> select *
2 from (select rownum rn
3               ,b.*
4         from   emp b)
5 where rn > ( select (max(rownum) - 3)
6                from    emp)
7 ;
        RN         ID
     40830      55891
     40831      55892
     40832      55893So far, so good. These are the "last 3" rows inserted. Now delete a bunch of rows and insert 3 new ones:
SQL> delete emp where id < 40000;
33423 rows deleted.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> insert into emp values (60000);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values (60001);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into emp values (60002);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select *
2 from (select rownum rn
3               ,b.*
4         from   emp b)
5 where rn > ( select (max(rownum) - 3)
6                from    emp)
7 ;
        RN         ID
      7410      55891
      7411      55892
      7412      55893Here's the problem. Even though the "last 3 rows" are 60000 - 60002, I still get the same ones as the first query.

Simple Mail question (couldn't find Mail forum)

Sorry to ask this on iCal forum, but I saw no forums dedicated specifically for regular Mail.
This is a simple question as I am a new Mac owner: I am used to using gmail for my email, and like this primarily because, given that it is a web based email application, I can access my email from any computer, anywhere, anytime.
Given my new Mac, I am interested in switching to the Mail application and was wondering if there is any way to check my email when I am away from my home computer? I think this would work with a mobileme account, but I have not obtained one as of yet.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...

Thanks Kosmoe...
One other question...if I do indeed create a new email account and use the Mail application for it, will I be able to check messages via the internet from any computer or only from my own?
And, if I want to be able to check from any computer, then it seems like getting a mobile me account would solve the problem, right? I am assuming mobile me email can be accessed from anywhere?
Sorry to be such a Mac newbie! But so far loving the whole Mac experience!

2 simple newbie questions!

hi, I have some simple questions. I already searched on the web for some answers but I couldnt find any :(
1. Is there any way to make a class execute another class's method every x minutes (say 5)? like an external signal that every 5 minutes executes "regelsysteem.genereerOverzicht()"
2. i would like to retrieve the system's current time and date (in string format), how could i do this?
thanks :)

1. See Timer in the API Docs.
2. See Date, Calendar, and DateFormat ditto.

2 Simple FCE Questions

Hey, I'm kind of a noob at final cut and have 2 questions I think should be relatively simple to answer.
1. How can I make the audio clip stay with the video clip? For example if I move a video clip 5 seconds down the timeline, the audio clip that goes to that video clip doesn't move. The audio clip then has a red box on it that says its 5 seconds out of sync with the video clip. How can I make them move as one?
2. I took a 10 second clip in iMovie and cut out 8 seconds of it, so I'm left with a 2 second clip. When I drag that 2 second clip into Final Cut it's the old 10 second clip and not the cut down version. Any ideas on fixing this as well?
Thank you

1. Make sure linked selection is switched on. It's normally on by default. Leave it on. Little chain link button in the upper right of the timeline window.
2. You can't drag and drop from iMovie. If you dragged from the finder you'll loading the original media file. iMovie, like FCE, is a non-destructuve editor.

RMAN question

Hi gurus;
I am using one RMAN script for 9.2.0.8 db,its:
rman target / <<EOF
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;
BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG ;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/xx/ctrl_%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/xx/backup_db_s%s_p%p_%T' MAXPIECESIZE 3000 M;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/xxx/snapcf_VIS.f';
My question is i need one script (RMAN) for it will run in day 3 times and take backup of all arhive than it will delete exsiting archive in archive log destinaton, coz for archive destination i have disk size problem.
Is anyone help me?

First of all, usually you would first do a crosscheck and then the DELETE
I recommend to split up the tasks into two scripts. One for the nightly backup called "fbackup.cmd". The contents would look like:
run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape' parms '<your tape storage parameter>';
backup
incremental level 0
format 'df_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p'
(database include current controlfile);
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
}And one for the archivelogs only, that runs multiple time across the day called: "archbackup.cmd"
run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape' parms '<your tape storage parameters>';
backup
incremental level 0
format 'arch_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p'
(archivelog all delete input );
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
}This way a crosscheck is not needed, because RMAN itself deletes the archives and updates the catalog.
Both scripts can be called with the following command line:
rman target / [rcvcat user/passwd@catalogdb] cmdfile [fbackup.cmd|archbackup.cmd]
Hope this helps.
