Solaris 10 new features

Solaris 10 introduces project-based roles within the OS-- we have configured a project for oracle but weren't able to find definitive instructions as to what should be set and, more importantly, what each parameter being set is actually doing for Oracle's database.

Take a look at metalink notes:

11.2.0.3 New features or Changes for RAC

Grid Version : 11.2.0.3
Platform : Solaris/AIX/LINUX
Are there any changes or new features for 11.2.0.3 Grid Infrastructure ?

Thanks for that link. But it doesn't say anything specific to GI. The closest it gets is some ACFS stuff.
I am looking for changes as well (not just new features)

Recommendation for new features in next Sun Studio releases

Hello,
I have started using the Sun Studio Express recently and as a feedback to your opening to receive proposals to new features in the next releases of the Sun Studio collection I would want to point some aspects of interest to the programmers in writing good software for embedded systems and not only.
First of all, with regards to the subject of great interest to me in this moment, multicore/multiprocessor parallel programming, I would appreciate the following :
- if the compiler would be extended with new directives to allow the programmer to measure the load of each core and/or processor that is available to him.
- if the compiler would be extended with directives to allow the programmer to get the core ID on which a specific section of code is executed. As en example consider o multithreaded application and in the associated function for each thread read the core ID and function of this value perform specific actions.
- if the compiler would be extended with directives to allow the programmer to get the ID of the processor in the system - supposing a specific system has many multicore processors. (I don't know if this is possible).
- if the compiler would be extended with directives to allow the programmer to specify the core and/or processor on which it wants to be executed a specific process,thread,function,(maybe instruction).
With these macros I think a lot of things can be exercised, one that I think in this moment is the posibility for the programmer to implement his own algorithm of load balancing for the cores and processors of his system.
Another point I would recommend would be that the watch window in the Sun Studio IDE to permit the selection of the format in which the data to be displayed.As an example if I have a U32 variable to be able to select in the watch window the integer ,hexadecimal or binary format in which I would want to be displayed.
Another useful thins that I sought at other IDEs would be a popup window or something similar to select how to see the source code: as a .c file , as an assembler code , or as a mixture of C and assemble.
That's all for the moment, if I see something else I would post another message.
Thank you,
Steve.

These are OS functions, not compiler's. Solaris has a wide selection of ways and tools to assign processes and threads to cpus; processor_bind(2) is a function you can call and pbind(1M) is a tool you can use on a running app. There are more, just google for it.
Another point I would recommend would be that the watch window in the Sun Studio IDE to permit the selection of the format in which the data to be displayed.As an example if I have a U32 variable to be able to select in the watch window the integer ,hexadecimal or binary format in which I would want to be displayed.
Good point. I'll check if there already is an RFE (Request For Enhancement) filed and file one if it's not. Thanks for letting us know!
Another useful thins that I sought at other IDEs would be a popup window or something similar to select how to see the source code: as a .c file , as an assembler code , or as a mixture of C and assemble.
But there is disassembly window already. See screenshot here: http://developers.sun.ru/images/stories/sunstudio/images/sun_studio_dbx.png

What new features in Oracle 11g can Apps 11.5.10.2 benefit from ?

hi there,
we run Apps 11.5.10.2 on Solaris 10. I'm thinking of upgrading the RDBMS version from 10.2.0.4 --> 11.1.0.6 and I was wondering if anyone can reccomend some good features within the new 11g database to make use of.
I'm aware of :
- advanced compression
- database replay (real application testing).
Does anything else spring to mind ?
many thanks
Cameron.

New Features @ Visual Composer 7.01: Blog Series

Hi Modelers,
We just released a new blog series about the new features on the Enhancement Package 1 for NW Visual Composer.
To follow up the series go to:
New Features @ Visual Composer 7.01: Blog Series
Kind Regards,
Luis

Hi,
first of all thank you for your effort to provide this feature in 7.00.
We are running 7.00 SP22 on Unix (Sun Solaris). I was able to deploy the zip-files of the Xcelsius example components using flash component manager and use the controls in the storyboard, but when running the application nothing happens (e.g. passed value to the input port of the gauge control, but component is always showing 50%).
Is in 7.00 SP22 also an issue concerning Unix platforms as in 7.01, where flash components + SP5 only work on windows platform?
Regards
Klaus

Accurate answer for Solaris 9 - Solaris 10 features

Hi Guys,
We are about to make decision migrating from solaris 9 to solaris 10 but I could not find an accurate answer what differences exist between these versions. I know, there are features mentioned in solaris 10 web page but it is not enough. In an conversation with Chris Ratcliffe, he mentioned there are new 600 features added to Solaris 10. So what are they? I can't understand Why there isn't an informative whitepaper or that kind of article for differences between Solaris 9 - 10 from Sun.
If you can please point out something different then Solaris 10 New Features page, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Very good question. I will try to answer.
1. Performance : Any application which run on Solaris 9 if you installed on Solaris 10 , you will get 30 % performace gain.
2. You also get following benefit.
a. Zfs -- this file system eliminates need of volume manager and easy to use it.
b. Zone: You can create virtual server inside your server. You reboot the that server. Some limitation exists but nice feature.
c. Dtrace : You can find point of problem for your application the help of dtrace. Some expertise is needed to use this.
d. Firewall : Firewall included with this OS.
e. SMF : This feasure keeps centralised information about all services. ( Complicated for new user. ) This are few one.
3. Some new system bundeled with Solaris 10 and they do not support Solaris 9. ( T1000 and T2000 )
I am using solaris 10 since last 1 year and are happy about it. But upgradation need to planned carefully. Go for only ( and only ) June 2006 release.
Best Luck.

ORACLE8 SERVER RELEASE 8.0.4 ENTERPRISE EDITION NEW FEATURES

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2004-08-16
Oracle8 Server Release 8.0.4 Enterprise Edition New Features
============================================================
97.12월 Solaris용 Oracle8.0.4가 출시된 것을 필두로 Q3 중에 Major Platform용
Oracle8.0.4가 나올 것으로 예상됩니다.
8.0.4는 Oracle8 최초의 Maintenance Release이고, 각종 Bug Fix를 비롯하여
다음과 같은 영역에서 기능을 보강하였습니다:
Oracle8 and Oracle8 Enterprise Edition product factoring
Time Series Data Cartridge
Visual Image Retrieval Data Cartridge
Legato Storage Manager integration
JDBC drivers
Advanced queuing enhancements
Easing of restrictions on parallel DML operations
Improvements to national character support
Improved automation of tablespace point in time recovery (PITR)
Improved Oracle Parallel Server diagnostics
Oracle Enterprise Manager enhancements
Net8 restrictions lifted
Oracle8 및 Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Product Factoring
Oracle은 두가지의 Oracle8 server로 구분되는데 이는, Oracle8 and Oracle8
Enterprise Edition입니다. 두 제품간의 기능이나 타겟 시장의 차이는 설명않습
니다. 8.0.3과 8.0.4의 가장 중요한 차이는 소위 "Factored"개념이 적용되어
8.0.3을 구매하면 licensing하지 않은 기능과 옵션도 install/use할 수 있던
것이 이제는 licesing한 기능과 옵션만을 사용할 수 있도록 제한된다는 것입니다.
- Error Message가 뜬다고 함. (제품기술실에서는 이 사항에 대해 확인 부탁드
립니다.)
Time Series Data Cartridge
8.0.4에는 새로이 Time Series Data Cartridge가 추가되는데, 이는 Temporal
Data를 데이타베이스에서 관리할 수 있는 것으로, 즉 시계열 데이타 타입을 정의
해서 사용할 수 있다는 것입니다. (예, 캘린더를 사용자 마음대로 정의할 수
있음) 타임 시리즈 카트리지는 관계형과 객체형 인터페이스를 모두 지원하며,
서드 파티는 카트리지에서 제공하는 인터페이스를 통해 솔루션을 개발할 수 있습
니다. (SHYANG BJN, This needs to have some good examples for better
understanding, also)
Visual Information Retrieval (VIR) Cartridge
타임 시리즈 카트리지 이외에 추가되는 또 하나의 카트리지는 VIR(이미지 정보
검색용) 카트리지로서, 이미지의 속성(색깔, 구조, 질감 등)을 이용하여 검색할
수 있도록 해 줍니다.
이는 Virage라는 회사의 이미지 검색 기술-소위 "패턴 매칭 알고리즘"-을 이용한
것으로 "find me objects that look like this one." 과 같은 질의가 가능합
니다.
Legato Storage Manager 통합
8.0.4는 Legato의 Storage Manager가 통합 컴포넌트로 제공됩니다. Legato
Storage Manager는 테이프 저장 매체 관리용 유틸리티로서 이제 Oracle8에서
이를 활용할 수 있습니다. 8.0.3에서는 미디어 관리 레이어(MML:Multimedia
Management Layer)를 제공하지 않았으며, 데이타를 테이프에 백업받기 위해서는
써드파티의 MML을 구매해야 합니다.
8.0.4에서 제공되는 Legato MML은 최대 4개의 테이프 드라이버에 동시 백업이
가능한 Limited Version입니다.
JDBC Drivers
8.0.4에는 두개의 JDBC 드라이버가 포함되는데, 이를 통해 자바 프로그래머들은
Oracle7과 Oracle8에 액세스할 수 있습니다. 이중 하나는 JDBC/OCI 드라이버라고
불리우며 클라이언트/서버 자바 애플리케이션이나 자바 기반 미들티어를 개발하는
개발자들을 타겟으로 합니다. 이 드라이버는 JDBC invocations 을 Oracle Call
Interface [OCI]용 call로 바꿔주어 SQL*Net이나 Net8으로 보내 오라클 데이타
베이스를 액세스하게 합니다.
또 하나는 Thin JDBC driver라고 하는 것으로 자바 애플릿과 자바 애플리케이션
개발자들을 위한 것입니다. 이 드라이버는 자바로 코딩되어 있어 완벽하게 JDBC
표준을 따르고 있습니다. Thin JDBC driver는 대략 150K 의 크기에 (압축되지
않으면300 K) 자바 애플릿과 함께 다운로드 될 수 있습니다. 이는 Oracle8만을
지원하며, Oracle7은 지원않습니다.
두 드라이버 모두 Javasoft의 JDBC 스펙을 따르며 JDK 1.0.2와 JDK 1.1을 지원
합니다. 이들은 현재 상용화 되어있는 대부분의 browsers, tools, 그리고 Java
VMs과 사용될 수 있고, 2 티어 이상의 멀티티어 컨피규레이션을 지원합니다.
Advanced Queuing 개선
8.0.4의 Enterprise Edition은 AQ기능이 보강되었습니다. 즉, remote queuing과
de-queuing, 그리고 OCI interface 등이 추가되었고, 큐의 통계를 제공하며
Oracle Enterprise Manager와 통합되었습니다.
이제 메시지가 로컬 큐로 부터 리모트 큐로 자동 전달되고, 따라서 분산
애플리케이션의 개발과 운영이 한층 용이해졌습니다.
API는 8.0.3에서 PL/SQL API만 제공되던 것이 이제 OCI 인터페이스까지 제공됨에
따라 AQ call 실행이 개선되고, AQ 기능을 활용하는 Pro*C애플리케이션 개발이
한층 용이해졌습니다.
8.0.4에서 제공되는 큐의 통계값은 평균 큐의 길이, 대기중인 메시지의 수, 시간
초과된 메시지의 수 등을 포함하며 테이블로 유지되어 SQL문으로 조회가 가능
합니다.
큐와 관련한 관리작업을 단순화할 수 있도록 OEM이 큐를 사용하는 사용자와
오퍼레이션을 관리합니다. 큐를 생성하고, 큐를 시작하거나 정지시키는 작업, 또는
큐의 사용자를 늘리는 등의 태스크를 이제 OEM을 통해 가능합니다.
Parallel DML Operations 관련 제한 완화
Oracle8 Release 8.0.4 Enterprise Edition은 parallel DML
(Insert/Update/Delete) operations에서 비롯되는 제한 사항을 더욱 완화시켜
줍니다. 8.0.3에서는 하나의 트랜잭션에서 하나의 병렬 DML 오퍼레이션만이 가능
하였으나 8.0.4에서는 복수 개가 허용됩니다.
단 한가지 제약은, 만일 어떤 트랜잭션내에서 테이블을 병렬로 수정하는 DML
오퍼레이션이 실행되면 그 트랜잭션내에서는 더 이상 그 테이블에 대해 조회
하거나 DML을 하지 못한다는 것입니다. (다른 트랜잭션으로 처리해야 함)
National Character Support 개선
Release 8.0.4는 Korean NCHAR character set과 European sort for the
UTF8 character data를 지원합니다.
또한 Tablespace Point in Time Recovery (PITR) 자동화가 개선되었다고
합니다. 본사는 비록 이 기능이 개선되었다고 해도 수행시키는데 필요한 단계
(step) 중 몇 가지는 아주 "critical"하다고 하여 필히 Oracle Worldwide
Support를 contact 하라고 조언합니다.
Oracle Parallel Server Diagnostics 개선
8.0.4는 Oracle Parallel Server diagnostics도 개선하였습니다. Fixed global
views (GV$views) 상에서의 성능이 개선되었으며, 새로 추가된V$ view 를 통해
DLM (distributed lock manager) lock을 볼 수 있습니다.
Oracle Enterprise Manager 개선
Oracle Enterprise Manager는 Release 1.5가 Release 8.0.4와 함께 사용됩니다.
릴리즈1.5에서는 Backup Manager component 가 개선되어stored Recovery
Manager scripts를 지원합니다. 즉, 이들 스크립트를 OEM에서 편집, 관리 가능
합니다. 또한 "report wizard"가 추가되어 Recovery Manager report commands
를 위저드의 순서대로 생성가능합니다.
OEM 1.5의 schema manager 역시 오브젝트를 지원하도록 개선되었습니다. DBA는
스키마 매니저를 이용하여 객체 타입과 객체 테이블을 생성, 드롭, 관리할 수
있습니다. 스키마 매니저는 이외에도 AQ기능도 관리할 수 있게 되었습니다.
사용자들은 스키마 매니저 인터페이스를 통해 큐에 주어지는 오퍼레이션을 관리
가능합니다.
Net8 제한 완화
Net8 Release 8.0.4 역시 제한이 완화되었고, 보다 손쉬운 관리를 위해 기능이
추가되었습니다. 일례로Net8이 이제는 DCE를 지원합니다. (8.0.3에서는 지원 안함)
Net Assistant는 리스너의 컨피규레이션을 할 수 있도록 개선되었고, 마침내
커넥션 풀링과 멀티플렉싱을 동시에 "enable"할 수 있게 되었습니다.
Migration 과 Interoperability
Oracle8 Release 8.0.4 는 마이그레이션 유틸리티를 이용 기존의 Oracle7
(Release 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3) 데이타베이스를 쉽게 마이그레이션 할 수 있습니다.
마이그레이션 유틸리티는 데이타 딕셔너리를 재구축해주고, 콘트롤 화일, 로그
화일 및 데이타 블록을 바꿔줍니다.
Oracle8 Release 8.0.3 데이타베이스는 8.0.4를 인스톨하는 것으로 업그레이드가
끝납니다.

Follow-up to archived thread "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide"

I hoped to be able to add a reply to the most recent reply on March 8 in the "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide" thread (https://community.oracle.com/thread/3526588), but since that thread has been archived, I am doing what was suggested elsewhere: create a new thread referencing the old one. My reply is:
Thank you for your explanation about preferring PDF over HTML. That is perfectly fine and understandable. Also, we very much appreciate your documentation feedback in this forum, and encourage you to continue to report any issues here.
I apologize for not replying much sooner. I either didn't get or overlooked an original notification about "Recent activity" after your reply; otherwise, I would have replied then.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.

Oracle 10G New Feature........Part 1

Dear all,
from last couple of days i was very busy with my oracle 10g box,so i think this is right time to
share some intresting feature on 10g and some internal stuff with all of you.
Have a look :-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 10g Memory and Storage Feature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.Automatic Memory Management.
2.Online Segment Shrink
3.Redolog Advisor, checkpointing
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
5.Automatic Workload Repository
6.Active Session History
7.Misc
a)Rename Tablespace
b)Bigfile tablespace
c)flushing buffer cache
8.ORACLE INTERNAL
a)undocumented parameter (_log_blocks_during_backup)
b)X$ view (x$messages view)
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
1.Automatic memory management
================================
This feature reduce the overhead of oracle DBA.previously mostly time we need to set diff oracle SGA parameter for
better performance with the help of own experience,advice views and by monitoring the behaviour
of oracle database.
this was just time consuming activity.........
Now this feature makes easy life for oracle DBA.
Just set SGA_TARGET parameter and it automatically allocate memory to different SGA parameter.
it focus on DB_CACHE_SIZE
SHARED_POOL_SIZE
LARGE_POOL
JAVA_POOL
and automatically set it as
__db_cache_size
__shared_pool_size
__large_pool_size
__java_pool_size
check it in alert_log
MMAN(memory manager) process is new in 10g and this is responsible for sga tuning task.
it automatically increase and decrease the SGA parameters value as per the requirement.
Benefit:- Maximum utlization of available SGA memory.
2.Online Segment Shrink.
==========================
hmmmmm again a new feature by oracle to reduce the downtime.Now oracle mainly focus on availablity
thats why its always try to reduce the downtime by intrducing new feature.
in previous version ,reducing High water mark of table was possible by
Exp/imp
or
alter table move....cmd. but on these method tables was not available for normal use for long hrs if it has more data.
but in 10g with just few command we can reduce the HWmark of table.
this feature is available for ASSM tablespaces.
1.alter table emp enable row movement.
2.alter table emp shrink space.
the second cmd have two phases
first phase is to compact the segment and in this phase DML operations are allowed.
second phase(shrink phase)oracle shrink the HWM of table, DML operation will be blocked at that time for short duration.
So if want to shrink the HWM of table then we should use it with two diff command
first compact the segment and then shrink it on non-peak hrs.
alter table emp shrink space compact. (This cmd doesn't block the DML operation.)
and alter table emp shrink space. (This cmd should be on non-peak hrs.)
Benefit:- better full table scan.
3.Redolog Advisor and checkpointing
================================================================
now oracle will suggest the size of redo log file by V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
SELECT OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
this value is influence with the value of FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET .
Checkpointing
Automatic checkpointing will be enable after setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to non-zero value.
4.Multiple Temporary tablespace.
==================================
Now we can manage multiple temp tablespace under one group.
we can create a tablespace group implicitly when we include the TABLESPACE GROUP clause in the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE or ALTER TABLESPACE statement and the specified tablespace group does not currently exist.
For example, if group1 is not exists,then the following statements create this groups with new tablespace
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp1 TEMPFILE '/u02/oracle/data/temp01.dbf'
SIZE 50M
TABLESPACE GROUP group1;
--Add Existing temp tablespace into group by
alter tablespace temp2 tablespace group group1.
--we can also assign the temp tablespace group on database level as default temp tablespace.
ALTER DATABASE <db name> DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE group1;
benefit:- Better I/O
One sql can use more then one temp tablespace
5.AWR(Automatic Workload Repository):-
================================== AWR is built in Repository and Central point of Oracle 10g.Oracle self managing activities
is fully dependent on AWR.by default after 1 hr, oracle capure all database uses information and store in AWR with the help of
MMON process.we called it Memory monitor process.and all these information are kept upto 7 days(default) and after that it automatically purge.
we can generate a AWR report by
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Just like statspack report but its a advance and diff version of statspack,it provide more information of Database as well as OS.
it show report in Html and Text format.
we can also take manually snapshot for AWR by
BEGIN
DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.CREATE_SNAPSHOT ();
END;
**The STATISTICS_LEVEL initialization parameter must be set to the TYPICAL or ALL to enable the Automatic Workload Repository.

New Automatic alert and database advisor with the help of AWR.
6.Active Session History:-
==========================
V$active_session_history is view that contain the recent session history.
the memory for ASH is comes from SGA and it can't more then 5% of Shared pool.
So we can get latest and active session report from v$active_session_history view and also get histortical data of
of session from DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY.
v$active_session_history include some imp column like:-
~SQL identifier of SQL statement
~Object number, file number, and block number
~Wait event identifier and parameters
~Session identifier and session serial number
~Module and action name
~Client identifier of the session
7.Misc:-
========
Rename Tablespace:-
=================
in 10g,we can even rename a tablespace by
alter tablespace <tb_name> rename to <tb_name_new>;
This command will update the controlfile,data dictionary and datafile header,but dbf filename will be same.
**we can't rename system and sysaux tablespace.
Bigfile tablespace:-
====================
Bigfile tablespace contain only one datafile.
A bigfile tablespace with 8K blocks can contain a 32 terabyte datafile.
Bigfile tablespaces are supported only for locally managed tablespaces with automatic segment-space management.
we can take the advantage of bigfile tablespace when we are using ASM or other logical volume with RAID.
without ASM or RAID ,it gives poor response.
syntax:-
CREATE BIGFILE TABLESPACE bigtbs
Flushing Buffer Cache:-
======================
This option is same as flushing the shared pool,but only available with 10g.
but i don't know, whats the use of this command in prod database......
anyway we can check and try it on test server for tuning n testing some query etc....
SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;
System altered.
++++++++++++++++++
8.Oracle Internal
++++++++++++++++++
Here is some stuff that is not related with 10g but have some intresting things.
a)undocumented parameter "_log_blocks_during_backup"
++++++++++++++++++++++++
as we know that oracle has generate more redo logs during hotbackup mode because
oracle has to maintain the a complete copy of block into redolog due to split block.
we can also change this behaviour by setting this parameter to False.
If Oracle block size equals the operating system block size.thus reducing the amount of redo generated
during a hot backup.
WITHOUT ORACLE SUPPORT DON'T SET IT ON PROD DATABASE.THIS DOCUMENT IS JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE.
b)some X$ views (X$messages)
++++++++++++++++
if you are intresting in oracle internal architecture then x$ view is right place for getting some intresting things.
X$messages :-it show all the actions that a background process do.
select * from x$messages;
like:-
lock memory at startup MMAN
Memory Management MMAN
Handle sga_target resize MMAN
Reset advisory pool when advisory turned ON MMAN
Complete deferred initialization of components MMAN
lock memory timeout action MMAN
tune undo retention MMNL
MMNL Periodic MQL Selector MMNL
ASH Sampler (KEWA) MMNL
MMON SWRF Raw Metrics Capture MMNL
reload failed KSPD callbacks MMON
SGA memory tuning MMON
background recovery area alert action MMON
Flashback Marker MMON
tablespace alert monitor MMON
Open/close flashback thread RVWR
RVWR IO's RVWR
kfcl instance recovery SMON
c)Internal Structure of Controlfile
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The contents of the current controlfile can be dumped in text form.
Dump Level Dump Contains
1 only the file header
2 just the file header, the database info record, and checkpoint progress records
3 all record types, but just the earliest and latest records for circular reuse record types
4 as above, but includes the 4 most recent records for circular reuse record types
5+ as above, but the number of circular reuse records included doubles with each level
the session must be connected AS SYSDBA
alter session set events 'immediate trace name controlf level 5';
This dump show lots of intresting information.
it also show rman recordes if we used this controlfile in rman backup.

New Features and Improvements for CS6

IMPORTANT:
By default, Photoshop comes with the Proofing Colors (Cmd/Ctrl+Y) activated and set to CMYK. Adobe must warn about that, because I was editing a large amount of pictures for work and I was doing it under that color profile/work space.
LAYERS PANEL:
Layer Adjustments:
Solid Color: visual feedback in real time.
Gradient: IDEM as above.
Pattern: IDEM as above.
Gradient Map: IDEM as above.
Gradient Editor: IDEM as above.
Opacity and Fill: IDEM as above.
Curves and Levels: Ability to load alfa channels. This way, the adjustments made on the alfa channel won't be destructive.
CHANNELS PANEL:
Channel Luminosity Selection:
Ability to add and subtract from the selection.
Ability to designate an area to be selected.
For point 1, by using the shortcut Cmd+Alt+[number] the luminosity of a channel is loaded as selection. With Cmd+Alt+Shift+[number], the selection grows. But there is no way to subtract from selection (unless by clicking with the mouse on the channel's thumbnail). I think that can be solved by using Cmd+Alt+Shift+[- or +] in order to subtract or add from selection.
Point 2 maybe even more important than point 1, because it allows selecting a designated area by the user, instead of the default luminosity selection, which ranges from 50% of the mid tones to the highlights (or shadows, if the selection is inverted). The user should be allowed to select the starting and finishing points of the luminosity selection.
I thought 2 ways for solving these issues (and making it more intuitive and faster):
A) By using the Histogram Panel, by dragging and highlighting an area on it, that it should load the selected luminosity pixels as a selection, as shown in figure 1:
figure 1
So the result of doing that will be a selection based on the area of the histogram that have been highlighted.
B) By creating a new Adjustment Layer:
It can be based in the same structure of the HUE Adjustment Layer, like figure 2 shows:
Figure 2
Or it can be this way (much better). Figure 3:
Figure 3
The selection can also be controlled by using the Click and Drag as suggested in the figure 1, as shown in the figure 4:
Figure 4
The overlaid highlighting over the histogram can be functional or just a mere graphic representation of the Range and Fade Selector. The "Fading" areas should be also be draggable in order to increase smooth the selection. However, the smoothing can be much better done with the Refining Selection tool and it can be ignored from this new tool.
In any of these cases, the adjustments should give real time feedback when growing or shrinking selection; we must see the selection going bigger or smaller and also, the highlighted area should be draggable as well.
TOOLS PANEL:
Brush: detect edges while painting on masks (for manual mask refining. It would work similar to the Replace Color Brush, but only for masks and alfa channels). It also needs a shortcut to set the opacity.
Dodge & Burn: Protect Tones should be allowed when painting on masks or alfa channels (for manual mask refining). D&B can also use edge detection as well.
FILTERS:
Some of them, like the ones involving Blur or the High-Pass and the Unsharp Mask filter, should work in real time (these ones, at the least).
It can also added a Particle Generator Filter.
It would be really nice having the ability to create particles such as dust, fog, rain, snow, etc in a more realistic manner than just the scattering function from the Brush Palette, or by mixing different filters with different blends. The Particle Generator should have an slider to control the depth of field, so it will give a feeling of depth and also, a way to load masks, so that way, the particles can exists before the image and also, behind. It would be great for creating a nice feeling of depth (kind of a bokeh effect).
I've been playing with After Effect few times, and the way to create shapes and forms from nothing is the way of easier than in Photoshop.
TIME LINE:
I think it's time give dynamism the filters applied to a movie clip, and also, dynamics to the fade effects, like it happens in After Effects by adding Bezier Curves.
HISTOGRAM:
It should be possible to zoom in into the histogram, for a more precise feedback and analysis of the image tonal values.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
The fade tool should work in real time.
Loupe/Magnificator View:
This is very useful when it comes to edit and image in detail, with a lot of zoom, like 3200%. Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn't provide a real time feedback in an additional window, such as the Window/Arrange/New Window For […].
It would be really useful having a window showing the image at fit on the screen while working on the other window at 100% or 3200% of zoom, but in real time. This way, you can see if you're doing a good job on the pixels or, if you're overdoing it.
It happens that, when working with big images at 100% of the image size (or more), the brain cannot figure out how is looking the whole image, so having a realtime feedback in the other window would help a lot for detailled work.
And why not, ading the same real time structure descrived above but to the Navigator, for faster and lighter use of the hardware capabilities. Probably, adding a check box to the navigator that blocks it to a given zoom, so when zooming into the image in the navigator, the image shown in the window isn't magnified too.
Give me a chance to show you some examples of what I have done by improvising particles and fog about 5 years ago:
http://mart1980.deviantart.com/gallery/5027033#/d1m119x
And what I did 7 years ago by manually, selecting different shades of gray and using just Levels for 8 hours (which coule be done faster and easier with another tool I thought, which I will post later):
I cannot post examples of the other features I'm suggesting because there are not such new features yet (I would have to create an hipothetical enviroment, but I think, you can fiure it out in your mind).
Unfortunately, I don't know programing, even though, I tried something with Filter Factory, achieving good results, but that pluging consumes too much resources and/or is bad designed/have not the right tools for certain things.
Hope this post is enough worthy of the Adobe's attention.
Thanks,
Ø³

This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

Thanks RealDave.
I'm still reading through the manual as well...and so far I do not see any mention of an improvement of the SRC (sample rate conversion), which was an issue.
I hope they have re-done that code in this update. I will probably email Apple, although, they never answer...so...

A Success Story & First Impressions of New Features

Like many of you I was plagued with some of the serious problems with updating my Domain file: disappearing photos, missing blog comments, missing link bars at the top of the page etc. I tried the various tip and tricks sugested here with no luck. When the 2.01 update to iWeb appeared last Friday I downloaded it but I held off using it. I had already lost about 6 hours out of my life playing around with iWeb 2.0 with nothing to show for it. After reading many posts saying it didn't help I was going to hold off.
Don't ask me why, but I changed my mind. Monday I started working on my site. Creating 10 album pages to replace my homegrown versions, adding some navigation aids, relinking etc. I also moved the photo I wanted to show as the album preview to the first position on each photo page. All in all I spent about 8 hours working on the site. I would save every 10 minutes or so and duplicate the domain file and keep several generations of these around. There were no missing photos, crashes or hiccups of any kind.
This morning I uploaded the site. The first thing I noticed is this version of iWeb seems to be faster creating the files to be uploaded. Much faster. I'm not sure if this is an improvement to the code or a result of the smaller domain files created in iWeb 2. Instead of 15 minutes or so it took 5. The first upload of the files to .mac took just as long as ever, nearly 45 minutes on a high speed cable modem connection. As the upload was completing the first hiccup occured-the upload failed with a message saying there was an error creating a file. I was not optomistic at this point. I figured I was having the upload problem others have reported. All my page icons were back to red and I figured it was back to square 1. At least all the content was still in the Domain file.
When I hit the upload button the second time it took the same 5 minutes to create the files, but the upload to 30 seconds. It evidently just repaced the file that had the problem. I have since made edits to my site several times and iWeb seems to be much faster uploading the pages. I get the impression it doesn't reupload the whole page content but merely uploads the changed portion. I added a text box to 30 pages and the changes uploaded to .mac in about a minute. I am very pleased with this increase in speed.
As for the site itself I love the new features. I love the picture gallery where clicking on a picture opens up a larger copy and gives you thumbs of the other pages. I tried my site in 3 different Mac browsers with no issues and also the latest IE for Windows running under Parallels 3. Unlike what others have reported, my slideshows appear normal size on the PC. I like the new album pages and the automatic linking they provide. In iWeb itself I like being able to collapse the album folder to reduce the clutter in the navigation sidebar. I like the fact you can create a blank page now. You don't have to strip another page type to get a blank page. The skimming effect on album pages works equally well on the Mac or PC side. One interesting thing I have noticed is the picture captions are in a different font on the PC side. I use the Freestyle template for my site and the picture captions are in a handwritten style font (Handwritten-Dakota). In the past these would be converted to .png image files so they would display correctly on the PC. In this version the fonts are rendered in a serif font that looks like times. I imagine this may make the page load faster but I'm not surre if I like this feature or not. The page does look drastically different.
Speaking of dislikes there are a couple. I wish iWeb would ask you before it goes and downsamples your photos while converting to the 2.0 format. I don't like the idea that if you want to use the high quality hi res versions you have to reinsert and recaption them. Like many others I would like to be able to turn off the download button when viewing the photo galleries.
While I think Apple deserve a spanking for the initial release of iWeb 2.0, now that the patch seems to be working for me I feel it is a worthy upgrade. I am 90 percent happy with the new features and I think the other 10 percent can be tweaked by Apple in response to user feedback. If you'd care to stop by and visit my site here is the address:
http://web.mac.com/jmahoney
I hope those of you still having trouble will get your sites up and runing soon. If you held off on the 2.01 upgrade, you might want to give it a shot (after backing up your Domain file). I was pleasantly surprised.
Jim Mahoney

Thanks for your account and experience with the new iWeb.
Nice site now, although vegetarians better skip it
I personally got rather hungry viewing it. And it is only 13.30 here.

What is the significance of the new feature in discussion forum as Kudos and other things recently started?

Hi,
I just want to know about the significance of new features started in Forums as KUDOS.
What to do with this and how it help someone in getting solution for his query.

Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide

Under section 1.5.9.8 Storage Snapshot Optimization:
The first bullet point is: "Database crash is consistent at the point of the snapshot."
I think that is supposed to be: "Database is crash-consistent at the point of the snapshot."
At the very least, that seems to make more sense to me. Googling around, there was a document on these features by EMC with that wording.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.
