Size recommendations for DAC / Informatica repository

I am starting a new installation... I've got the install pdf from Oracle site and also the SRSP for OBI Apps...
I wonder if anyone has a size estimate for the DAC and Informatica repository data bases ? I understand they are not large but...
Also, I understand that they could reside in the same instance (separated from the OBAW db).. Is that a valid assumption ?
Txs.
Antonio

Hola Antonio,
I just finished my installation, I created a specific tablespace for the Power Center repository and gave it 500 megabytes of space, it seemed to work all right, I posted the script I used to create this to my blog, you might want to check it out in case you want a template: http://www.shangyezhineng.com/blog/395/tech-content/create-oracle-informatica-repository

Mac Pro RAID block size recommendations for working with audio in Logic Pro

I have recently ordered a Mac Pro and plan to do a RAID configuration across 3 HDD's
The RAID type i am going to do is a RAID 0 striped.
The computer is going to be used primarily for audio post production and working with 20+ 24-Bit audio files at any one time within a Logic project.
I want to know what is the best block size i should use when configuring the RAID.
I understand that using a higher block size is best for working with large files but do i need to do this in my case or will the default 32k block size be enough?
Thanks in advance

Use 64k. Things like databases like having 32k blocks because of all the small files. Audio files are pretty small even at 24-bit 192KHz. Go to 128k if all you are doing is streaming and no samples. But 20+ 24-bit is really not too large anyway considering most modern HDD's can stream 100MB/s off one spindle. You'll probably be fine regardless of the block size you choose. But most audio pro's choose 64k.

Recommendations for Infa/DAC repository databases?

Hi Guys,
Looking for any recommendations on how to setup an 11g database instance for Informatica/DAC repository and domain databases.
Looking for init.ora recommendations, memory settings, block size or any other tuning that people have found helpful.
I have the guidelines from Oracle for the DataWarehouse, but looking for anything specific to DAC/Informatica.
Thanks!!!

Please check below documents (not specific to 11g but helps) from support.oracle.com

How to fetch already created sessions from Informatica Repository (Informatica SDK)

Hi guys,I'm using the Informatica SDK to create a java application that accesses the Informatica repository. I'm having a bit of an issue while trying to fetch the names of already created sessions from the Informatica Repository. I'm able to connect to the repo without any issues and have been able to add sources, targets, mappings, sessions, workflows, etc... and save them directly afterwards. However, when I try to fetch the session names from a folder in the repository, I get the following error:Mon Jul 27 15:03:01 PDT 2015 Severity:DEBUG ThreadID:14 Running the pmrep process in the working directory: [C:\Informatica\9.6.1\clients\PowerCenterClient\client\bin].Mon Jul 27 15:03:01 PDT 2015 Severity:DEBUG ThreadID:14 Running the command [listobjects -o session -f "TechOps" -s . ].

Here's my code for fetching:// Create a list of session names and store the names
List<String> sessionNames = null;
try {
    sessionNames = folder.fetchSessionNamesFromRepository();
} catch (RepoOperationException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (MapFwkReaderException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
// Print the list of session names
for (int i = 0; i < sessionNames.size(); i++) {
    System.out.println("Session " + i + " is " + sessionNames.get(i));
}I've confirmed that the folder object works fine as I can add and save other objects to that folder in the repo.The other odd thing is that if I go to the install path for Informatica on my machine and I run pmrep from the command prompt followed by the command to fetch session names, it works fine.Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Hi neel007,
Just use a List instead of a Vector, it's more performant :
List<Folder> rep_FetchedFolders = new ArrayList<Folder>();If you need to synchronize your list, then
List<Folder> rep_FetchedFolders = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList<Folder>());Also, if you're using Java 5 or higher and if you're sure listOfTargets contains only Target objects, instead of this
for(int b=0; b<listOfTargets.size();b++){
   Target trg = ((Target)listOfTargets.get(b));
   t_folder.addTarget(trg);
}you may do this :
for (Target trg : listOfTargets) {
   t_folder.addTarget(trg);

Apps recommendations for a laptop running on a SD card

Hi everyone,
Months ago, the hard drive of my netbook crashed. Because 1.8" hard drives are rare and that SSD of the same size cost a lot, I decided to make it running on a SD card (class 10 for the speed at least ^^ ).
I followd the wiki page about it and installed openbox and SLim on it.
For now, I'm running wicd on it.
Now I'm wondering which softwares I could put it on it.
Because there are a huge number of these apps, I ask for recommendation while I'm searching and testing some of them.
I need them to be [bold]lightweight[/bold] (because it is running on a 16 Go Class 10 SD card).
So, what I need :
-A file manager;
-A VNC and RDP client;
-An e-mail/calendar client;
-A good code editor like notepad++ (I know that it is on Windows, but I use it even on Linux, but I want to avoid Wine on this laptop);
-An openVPN client;
-A terminal to remplace Xterminal;
-A lightweigt tray manager.
It is not much a problem if the softwares have not a GUI, but it is prefered.
Any other recommendations for this netbook would be appreciated too ^^.
Thanks in advance.

I love command line, but because I have to use some tools only with a GUI provided by my college and that I've got courses concentrated on making GUI, I will need a GUI interface.
For the code editor, because I wanted one with syntax highlighting and tab navigation, I found Geany (available in the community repository).
It mistly needs Gtk and almost nothing more, so it's not environment dependdan
For the two days I tested it, it goes pretty well. Fast, lightweigt and there're a plenty bunch of fun features.
I'll use it the time I learn to use correctly and efficiently vi .
Thanks for rxvt-unicode, I like it more than xterminal (because of the tab feature) and pcmanfm is what I was searching for.
Thanks a lot.

Performance issue while fetching metadata from Informatica Repository

I'm working on Informatica 8.6(ETL tool) which contains its own repository to save metadata and using their Mapiing SDK API's I'm developing a java application which fetches the objects from the repository.
For this purpose by using "mapfwk.jar", i'm first connecting to the repository using RepositoryConnectionManager class and then at the time of fetching the metadata i used getFolder, getSource & getTarget functions.
Issue: Program is taking to much time for fetching the folders. The time taken by it depends on the number of metadata objects present in it,i.e. as object number increases, time increases.
Please advise how to reduce time for fetching metadata from repository.

I am facing the same issue.
I am connecting from DAC, any suggestions what should have gone wrong here

Cloned Dac, Informatica and OBIEE want to change the ip and hostname

Hi Gurus,
I recently cloned my OBIEE env on virtual machines on OEL ( Linux)
I want to change the hostname and ip address to make the services up with new IP and hostname.
I started the Database(11gR2) single instnace successfully. Please let me know what all changes need to be done to start the dac(10.1.3.4), informatica(9.0.1 Hotfix 2) server and also OBIEE(11.1.1.7.1)
I did run ./startServerprompt.sh for DAC but still the service cannot be started.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi kt1,
Informatica and DAC is also on Linux servers. As a first step I'm trying to start the services on DAC and Informatica servers but still no luck.
When I'm Trying to start it gives me the following error in the log
For Informatica:
Domain service init method is called
java.net.UnlnownHostException: santa.pti.local (which is the wrong hostname)
it should be picking up the new hostname panta.pti.local
but I don't know where exactly is this information stored and how to get over it.
The same case is with DAC server when I try to start it it's picking up the wrong hostname
Anybody who can help me get through this. I have go ogled it but so far I couldn't solve it.
Appreciate if anyone could help me solve this.
Regards,

Hardware sizing recommendations for B2B Server

My customer Welch Foods Inc. is on 11i Oracle eBusiness Suite and is planning to uptake the latest 1Sync integration features in the PIM product. For out-of-box AS2 connectivity with 1Sync - they are planning to use Oracle B2B Integration Server 10.1.2.3.
They have an average transaction volume of 30 transactions per month. One time - initial load of 20,000 transactions.
Based on the above estimates, they are looking for hardware sizing recommendations for the B2B server.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Asmi Maharishi
SDM for Welch Foods.

Thanks for your reply!
Here are the responses to your queries:
1. Is B2B instance going to run alone in a box
Yes, B2B instance will run alone on a box.2. what will be the size of message
Messages can be anywhere from 5-20 KB3. how many messages will be part of a transaction.
It should be 2 - Registration and publication. But sometimes it depends on how successful the first “registration” goes. Typically we get one or two errors that the users go into PLM, correct and re-send.However, Looking at your current requirement, 30 transaction per month, we can easily address in a 4 GB machine itself.
Additionally, Oracle B2B supports 10+ messages per second in 32GB, 4 processor machine.
Memory suggested above is 4GB, does that take into account memory used by the 10G App server foot print or this is only to take care of messages? Also, how many Processors (Risk IBM) will be needed?

Monitor Recommendations for Use with Captivate

Anyone have any monitor recommendations for use with Captivate? Size and resolution?

The formal adobe recommendation is as posted 1024x768 is fine.
But, monitors are not that expensive, so for productivity and better work environment I recommend at least one wide screen 22" with resolution 1600X1200 or more and that supports 1080 for video.
You need the wide screen ( or two monitors) so you can work with all the tools in one view.

Recommendations for a SILENT laptop?

Hi,
I don't know if I'm in the right place to ask something like that, but I'm planing to buy a new laptop. The actual one's is in a bad state: hardware problems, overheating (even with frequency scaling), ultra-noisy fan, etc. This is specially that noisy fan than that makes me crazy.
I'm not looking for high performance: I'm just using it for web-browsing, listening music, watching movies, etc.
Here are some criteria:
- It has to be SILENT & robust !!!
- Linux (and specially arch) hardware compatibility
- Wireless would be a plus
- Consequent autonomy & battery life
- Dvd reader
- Not so small screen
- And finally, an affordable price!
So, did you have some solid recommendations for me?
Thanks in advance,
Vomix.

- It has to be SILENT & robust !!!
Every new laptop with core 2 duo, and a decent GPU should meet that criteria. Gone are the times of P4 burning holes in the chassis. Of course, there are exceptions, but those laptops are generally running high end GPUs, like the "Asus G1s" do.
- Linux (and specially arch) hardware compatibility
Arch has the best chance of working, out of *any* distro if you ask me. That's has been my experience any way.
- Wireless would be a plus
99.9 of all have wlan built in nowadays.
- Consequent autonomy & battery life
Again, core 2 duo are really efficient. Just avoid 7200 rpm drives and hungry GPUs. Most laptops already have 5200 rpm drives unless it'a a gaming laptop anyway.
- Dvd reader
You have a really funny idea of what a brand new 2007 laptop might have If you manage to find one without a DVD reader, then congratulations, you might just as well have won the lottery.
- Not so small screen
I recently bought a 14.1" laptop, and the screen size was too small for many hours in front of it. Belive it or not, a 15.4" was way more comfortable, even though in reality the difference shouldn't be that large. What you should worry about, is the screen quality. Really. Some laptops have really *crappy* viewing angles, spread of brightness and light leakage. Be careful, and read reviews first.
This is a good site where you can sort by rating in different criterias;

Good luck.

Monitor recommendations for PS/CS5.5 print work

Hopefully this won't be retreading old ground too much, but I'm looking for monitor recommendations for using with CS5.5 for print work in Photoshop and InDesign mainly on a new Mac Mini. I've got a Spyder 3 for calibration already so that side of things is covered - the Apple Thunderbolt display is a bit of range financially, plus I'm not sure about the glossy screen myself, ideally I'd be looking to spend no more than £500 and size wise about 24" would be the ideal size due to the amount of deskspace available to me. TIA for any/all help/recommendations!

For starters look heere:
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/
The degree of perfection is dependent on your final needs. A studio doing catalog work is going to need a monitor all the way up to top providers like Eizo. for my needs where I output to an Epson 3800 and bigger, I find the dell u2412 to be ideal, and at your price category, maybe 2 will fit the budget.
The 2412 does not cover the full Adobe RGB gamut, but it does cover sRGB IEC 61966-2-1:1999, the current preference for online color. I use it because correcting the monitor to match the print for b&w is paramount, and the best monitors for this use LED backlight. The u2412 is admirable for this especially at it's price point.
I also use a 2nd monitor but it is a smaller 4:3 aspect ratio. It's use is strictly for tools and such.
The 2412 is a 16:10 aspect ratio and is far better, imo, for graphics work. Also (and maybe especially!) it is very close to the golden mean ratio giving it a wonderful presentation format. Check it out where you see 16:9 and 16:10 side by side.
When I am working closely with adjustment layers I have enough room on my screen to pull over the specific palette next to the image while tweaking, a big help without losing the ability to fill the screen later if you wish. Simply move the palette back to it's home on the other screen.
Good Luck!

I need a recommendation for SAN (Actually NAS) ethernet switches.

Hi, we have one Dell blade chassis with 8 servers ---- connected to stacked switches (3750) with EtherChannels ---- to NetApp (Controller 1 and 2 accordingly). Unfortunately, Dell blade servers only supports 1Gbps for port and NetApp also supports 1Gbps for each port (ports are all ethernet, not FC)
Questions
1) What kind of switch do you recommend? I know that it is not popular to use ethernet in SAN I just recognized that we have NAS, what do you recommend switches for NAS?
not SAN, so any MDS 9000 series don't work because it supports limited ethernet ports (many FC ports). I need many ethernet ports at least 48 ports from each switch. I know Nexus is one of candidates, but want to double check.
2) Most of vendors ask what kind of connection I have. I said usually just ethernet, not FC, not FCoE. Is it right? I believe that since I found NAS, it is "Ethernet"
3) The reason that I am looking for different switches is there are huge packet dropped (outbound) in switches (outgoing toward both dell servers and netapp; incoming is ok) We recently moved PtoV so, it is possible that traffic volume was increased. But output doesn't give me lot of information like below. Do you have any recommendation for further t-shoot?

Hi, we have one Dell blade chassis with 8 servers ---- connected to stacked switches (3750) with EtherChannels ---- to NetApp (Controller 1 and 2 accordingly). Unfortunately, Dell blade servers only supports 1Gbps for port and NetApp also supports 1Gbps for each port (ports are all ethernet, not FC)
Questions
1) What kind of switch do you recommend? I know that it is not popular to use ethernet in SAN I just recognized that we have NAS, what do you recommend switches for NAS?
not SAN, so any MDS 9000 series don't work because it supports limited ethernet ports (many FC ports). I need many ethernet ports at least 48 ports from each switch. I know Nexus is one of candidates, but want to double check.
2) Most of vendors ask what kind of connection I have. I said usually just ethernet, not FC, not FCoE. Is it right? I believe that since I found NAS, it is "Ethernet"
3) The reason that I am looking for different switches is there are huge packet dropped (outbound) in switches (outgoing toward both dell servers and netapp; incoming is ok) We recently moved PtoV so, it is possible that traffic volume was increased. But output doesn't give me lot of information like below. Do you have any recommendation for further t-shoot?

Unable to connect informatica repository on database

Hi,
i am facing error that unable to connect informatica repository on database
thanks

Hi,
I am facing the same issue while connecting Informatica Repository to the database.
We have installed Informatica 9.0.1 on Linux 64 bit environment and installed Oracle client 11gR2.
Below are some of the detail to analyze the issue in detail:
Informatica Useer : powercenter
Oracle user: oracle
[powercenter@sun2 ~]$ id
uid=500(powercenter) gid=1000(oinstall) groups=501(oracle),1000(oinstall) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
[oracle@sun2 ~]$ id
uid=501(oracle) gid=1000(oinstall) groups=1000(oinstall) context=root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
[powercenter@sun2 ~]$ cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1
export ORACLE_HOME
TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export TNS_ADMIN
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/opt/bin:$PATH
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Tnsping is working fine with the tnsentry given using Informatica user.
[powercenter@sun2 ~]$ echo $TNS_ADMIN
/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client_1/network/admin
In the Informatica log file we are getting below error message:
Database driver event...error occured loading library [libclntsh.10.1:cannot open shared object file....
I have a confusion here, we have installed Oracle 11g client then why Informatica is looking for 10g library file?
I checked and found there is no file in /usr/local/lib directory.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR

What is the Oracle Best Practice for install/deployment and configuration of ODI 11g for Disaster Recovery?
We have a project that is using Oracle ODI 11g (11.1.1.5).
We have configured all the other Oracle FMW components as per the Oracle DR EDG guides. Basically using the Host ip name/aliasing concept to ‘trick’ the secondary site into thinking
it is primary and continue working with minimal (or no) manual reconfiguration. But will this work for ODI? The FMW DR guide has sections for SOA, WebCenter and IdM, but nothing for ODI.
Since ODI stores so much configuration information in the Master Repository..when this DB gets ‘data guarded’ to the secondary site and promoted to Primary…ODI will still think it is at the ‘other’ site. Will this break the actual agents running the scenarios?
Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR ODI properly?
We are looking for a solution that will allow a graceful switchover/failover with minimal manual re-configuration.

Hi all,
I m currently testing external components with Windows Server and I want to test Oracle 11g R2.
The only resource I have is this website and the only binaries seem to be for Linux OS.You have one other HUGE resource that, while it won't answer your current question, you'd better start getting familiar with if you are going to use Oracle. That is the complete and official documentation, found at tahiti.oracle.com

Does anybody know how I can upgrade my Oracle 11.1.0.7 version to the R2 release?
Thanks,
Bertrand
