Source different O/S and hardware from destination

What are the limitations on using Streams to move data between Oracle instances, when those instances differ by O/S and hardware platform?
We're working with a vendor to replicate from an Oracle instance 10gR2 running on an IBM server running AIX, and we're hoping to perform one-way replication into another 10gR2 instance running on an HP server with a Linux Red Hat O/S (both are 64-bit).
I came across this document yesterday, which mentions that it's a bad idea, although I haven't seen the same restrictions in the documentation:
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~nimar/papers/vldb05.pdf
Namely, it mentions that in the 3rd & 4th point
Operational Requirements for Downstream Capture
-The source database must be running at least Oracle Database 10g and the downstream capture database must be running the same release of Oracle as the source database or later.
-The downstream database must be running Oracle Database 10g Release 2 to configure real-time downstream capture. In this case, the source database must be running Oracle Database 10g Release 1 or later.
-The operating system on the source and downstream capture sites must be the same, but the operating system release does not need to be the same. In addition, the downstream sites can use a different directory structure from the source site.
-The hardware architecture on the source and downstream capture sites must be the same. For example, a downstream capture configuration with a source database on a 32-bit Sun system must have a downstream database that is configured on a 32-bit Sun system. Other hardware elements, such as the number of CPUs, memory size, and storage configuration, can be different between the source and downstream sites.
The reason why I'm concerned is that Oracle came to us about 8 months ago and sold us on Streams over DataGuard for a read-only direct copy of data. DataGuard was sold as being tied to having the recovery instance be as identical as possible to the source. They led use to believe that there were no such restrictions for Streams. So, we didn't add any provisions for purchasing a Replication tool. Now I'm thinking we might need to spring for ODI or something ...
Has anyone found differences in hardware and O/S to be a problem when using Streams?
Thanks

Sorry, wrong link initially.

I have no experience with downstream capture, which ships archives from one platform to another.
If you are not using downstreams, then heterognenous platform work fine over SQL*NET (dblink).
I have already operated in production Windows to Solaris multimaster Streams and would have gladly
exchanged the win box for your AIX.

I got an iTunes account years ago with an ID and password...them later got a mobile me and password...now I have an iPad and downloaded iCloud and I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad because different account name and password from my mobile me.

I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad now that I have added iCloud. The problem is that my iTunes account has different name and password from my mobile me account. Can I change my iTunes account name and password so that they will transfer to my iPad with the mobile me / iCloud account? I need to figure out how to make the two accounts one or iCloud has to be able to accept my iTunes account with years of music and movies.

Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise. I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice. I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication. I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago. I'm not going to hold my breath. My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer. Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with. I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.

On my itunes there are many songs that will not play due to being purchased under a different email address and password from the one I have now how can i get these songs to play?

I have many songs in my itunes library that were purchased by me that did not convert to my new email address when I moved. How can I get them to play?

You have to use the same old Apple ID and password.
NOTE: All content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

Copy and paste from premiere to after

Hi,
I have a timeline in premiere cs55 with MTS files, i copy and paste all the timeline from premiere to after, all work and i have a precomposition for each MTS source file which is what I want.
I have an other timeline with QT prores mov files, i do the same ( copy and paste to after effects), all work but i have only footage without precomposition of each mov files...
Do somebody knows why ? what I need to do to have this automatic precomposition by file source when i copy and paste from premiere to after effects ?
Thank you

Trim Compose script is nice but it's not exactly what I want.
For instance : If I have 3 sources clip A, B and C each 10 minutes. I edit on the timeline and keep for instance 5 differents small parts of clip A, 3 of clip B, 7 of clip C, every thing mix in time, like we can do for an interview editing.
I want to put in after effects a composition with my final edit with use of edit of 3 precomp of entire clip A, B, C. This way i can make a key or color correct etc.. in each 3 precomp only and have all my shots with these key or color correct in my final comp..
in fact Trimcompose like but with only one precomp per source file, edit in final timeline... Sorry difficult to explain for me in english..
It is what happen with my MTS files in my project but i don't know how it's happen...
thanks for all

I cannot access my multi-function DAQ hardware from VB/Meas Studio after upgrading to latest Meas Studio Version and NI-DAQmx

I have a farily complex project that was initially written in VB6.0 with Meas Studio 3.0 and using traditional NiDAQ. For seveal reasons, I wanted to upgrade to the latest NI software. So, I purchased the latest version of Meas. Studio. I installed this, along with NI-DAQmx. Now, I cannot access any of the hardware from the VB IDE / Meas. Studio DAQ objects. Nor can I get the installed examples to run. The test panels run ok from MAX.
The whole process of trying to do this upgrade process has been extremely confusing and frustrating. I have a support request in, but have yet to hear from anyone. Trying to get useful information on this problem from the NI web site has also been difficult since almost all of the support doucments of any detail reference Labview.
Any help will be appreciated.

I'd like to better explain the decision not to provide ActiveX controls for DAQmx. My intention is not to de-legitimize your concern or downplay the pain/inconvenience this caused you.
The decision not to provide ActiveX controls would be more accurately summarized as a cost/benefit decision.
DAQmx is an entirely different API. The choice not to support mx with ActiveX controls was not a matter of dropping support from an implementation perspective (I understand that from a product-offering perspective, it is dropping support). Rather, the choice not to support mx with ActiveX controls was a matter of not designing and implementing an entire new set of controls.
Given our resources, we have to make choices about what languages (C#, VB.NET, C++, VB6), frameworks and versions (.NET 1.1, .NET 2.0, ASP.NET, MFC 7.1, MFC 8.0, VB6), and development environments (VB6, VC6, VS2003, VS2005) that we support. When NI decided that mx was necessary (that is, we could not move forward with new hardware under the old Traditional DAQ API), the Measurement Studio team had to decide which of these languages/platforms/ADEs to support.
We view the ActiveX controls as native support for Visual Basic 6.0. In March of 2008, Microsoft is going to stop supporting Visual Basic 6.0 (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbrun/ms788707.aspx). It was largely because of this that we did not feel that our customers, as a whole, would gain enough benefit from us developing ActiveX controls to justify the cost. Instead, we developed native .NET and C++/MFC libraries for DAQmx.
We developed the type library for mx because we did understand that some customers would want or need to use mx boards in existing VB6 systems. While this is not an ideal solution, we hoped that it would be good enough. I am sorry that it doesn't meet your needs.
Looking back, we see that our customer base has not moved away from VB6 and to VB.NET or C# as quickly as we thought they would. This is why the Measurement Studio product continues to include VB6 support (the UI and Analysis ActiveX controls that you mention) and why we continue to fix bugs in these components. However, we are not putting much effort into developing new features in these ActiveX controls. Almost all of our new feature development efforts are in the .NET libraries.

Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

Depends on what the source of the music is (iTunes purchases, ripped CDs, etc.), and whether you are syncing to iTunes on a computer. As for simply sharing music directly from the iPhone to the iPod, no, you cannot.

Have an iPod touch 4th gen. It is completely charged, but once I disconnect from a power source it shuts down and then the apple logo just keeps reappearing. I have restored via iTunes and reset all the settings. Any suggestions?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Hi,
Source system as the name suggests mentions the source of data. The place from where you are extractin data to BW.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7a/27bcf087c7464db8b95eaa717b6e6a/content.htm
OpenHub is for exporting data out of BW.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.

By keeping reference of 1 PO , i have to do GR and IR for 50 different vendor .
Any suggestion and solution in SAP.

Hi,
U can acheive this via Partner Function.
There U can give the ordering Address(OA) and Good Supplier(GS) as different vender
and PI(invoice Party) as one vender.
Suppose you get material from different vender and Invoice from other vender.
Hope Help U !

I want to buy Apple TV for my grandchild so she can play videos and music from her Ipad on the family's big screen. Do I need anything else beside the Apple TV device. Also what is AirPlay? Is it an app, a service or a piece of hardware?

I want to buy an Apple TV for my grandchild so she can play content from her Ipad on her family's big screen TV. She has cable WiFi in her home does she need anything else beside the Apple TV. Also what is AirPlay. Is it an app, a service or a seperate hardware from the Apple TV?

Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

My Ipod shows it is linked to a different Apple ID and all my playlists are gone from the only Apple ID I have, What can I do to not loose the music on my ipod?

My daughter shares an Ipod account with me and it has worked fine for years until recently. All of my music and playlists have vanished and only hers remain. When I plug my Ipod in a window pops up stating my ipod is linked to a another Itune account and I can either erase and sync or copy purchased music over. I have never started a different Itune account and most of my music is collected from CD's that are not saved to my computer. How do I keep my music and still be able to add more?

I have a PC (Windows 7)
Not sure when mobile me changed, but it was this weekend that my storage etc. lapsed (I have paid to keep storage with icloud). So i assume this has something to with it stopping.

I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

Question
I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

I had this hotmail issue myself a while back. I Googled, scanned MS website, scanned MSN website, visited forums, couldn't figure it out. I tried Firefox and Opera and even changed the Opera mask setting from Opera to Internet Explorer. Nothing worked. My best guess was that I was signing on (with the new MSN Live as opposed to MSN Hotmail - the OLD interface) with the "Remember me on this computer?" box checked. I now make sure it is un-checked (which is not the default) and hotmail lets me in.
Not exactly sure if that is the real remedy, but thot I'd throw the story your way just in case...

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
