Sql always on full sync when creating availability group

hi,
i am creating AOAG in SQL 2012 and i am a little confused as to how the sync is created. when you setup the avail group the options you have are full, join and something else. We are doing the full.
i have a database that's 700gb in size so i did a backup to meet the pre reqs of creating the aoag. i then started the process and it shows a list of tasks its performing. once of the tasks is backing up the db before it syncs.
if i look at the backup it shows a size of 217GB. why do i have a difference in the size. does it do something different while creating the AOAG?
Thanks

Hi phillbl,
According to your description, the backup operation copies the data in the database to the backup file. The backup contains only the actual data in the database and not any unused space. Therefore, the backup is usually smaller than the database itself.
Usually, in SQL Server AlwaysOn Availabity Group Wizards, you can use
Select Initial Data Synchronization page to specify a network share in order to create and access backups, then synchronize full initial data with secondary database.
If you are unable to use the wizard to perform full initial data synchronization ,you need to manually prepare a Secondary database for an Availability Group , as other post, you should manually restore a recent database backup of the primary
database using RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY, and then restore each subsequent log backup using RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY.

Error when creating purchasing group.

Hi,
i am facing two issue when creating purchasing group. i never had such a situation before.
i have created two p.groups successfully and moved to quality.later i figured one of them is missing USER ID now when i try to enter user ID in user column getting below mention error.
Entry XXXX Does not exist in USR02-check your entry.message no 00058.i have checked in USR02 None of ID's exist i used in newly created groups.but ID i used in other groups has no issue even doesn't exist in USR02,but it shows value US in OB(Object type filed).
both ID's are not being created in Development in other words SAP ID's with SU01 but we never had such issue before while changing or creating now purchasing group.
Another thing i have noticed that OB(Object type field is missing in Dev.) i can see that field in Quality even in sand box but not visible in Dev.that when i use OME4.but when i use SM30-V_024 i can see the OB field.Somehow OB field is hidden when going through SPRO or ME04.
This is about Sap ver.4.7
Suggestion are much appreciated.

Hi,
Before creating new purchasing groups- 1st check your user ID is authorized to purchasing groups create in t.code: OME4.
In development system you can creates new purchasing groups with USER ID and telephone numbers, upon saving system will create a transport request. Later you can transfer related transport request to quality system for your testing.
For example: You can creates new purchasing groups with USER ID and telephone numbers
Purchasing groups-------------USER ID ---------------Telephone numbers

Laptop battery always on full, 100% when connected to AC

Hi,
I usually use my laptop on AC with battery removed. Last week I used it from battery, then connected the laptop to AC. If I remember correctly battery started to discharge to 90 something percent after a while, but now it is always on full.
acpi -b
Battery 0: Full, 100%
I have the following packages installed:
local/laptop-mode-tools 1.61-2
local/acpi 1.6-1
local/acpid 2.0.16-3
local/linux 3.5.3-1
My question: is it fine to have the battery always on full? Or was it better when it was charging/discharging automatically?
Thanks

Let me clarify myself. When the battery is in place and the laptop is running from AC, sooner or later you will see that the battery is fully charged. When this fully charged status has been accomplished, charging stops and battery starts discharging (let's say from 100% to 95%) then charging starts again. I think that was the way it worked some weeks ago. My experience in this very moment is that battery is reported to be fully charged. Always. No drop from 100%.
I think the charger electronic prevent the battery from overcharge, but I don't know why is the change in the behavior described above. Was it a bug and now it's fixed or now we have a bug.
Anyway, people contradict each other how to prolong the health of a battery, but I found that usually they say if one usually uses a laptop from AC the best thing is to remove the battery when charged to 50-60% and store in a dry place, and from time to time it's advised to charge/discharge it.
Uh... what make is your laptop, for example I'm using a Compaq laptop so my laptop has a big Compaq at the base of the screen and nice big Q on the back. I wouldn't be surprised if your laptop is a Dell. Google for product reviews for your laptop: So, since my laptop is a Compaq and it's a CQ60-420US
I'd type
CQ60-420us battery charge/discharge behavior
or something like that into the address bar for chromium, and then press enter.
EDIT: The best way to use/store a battery, and you can quote me on this 'cause I took a Electrical engineering class last semester and know what I'm talking about, is to just charge it all the way up and then use it till it's almost out of battery power. If you charge it when it's at half capacity it will eventually do bad stuff to the battery, or something like that. Anyway, it's just healthier for the battery to have the chance to fully discharge per every full recharge. You don't have to let it go all the way to 0%, 'cause your laptop will probably cut off if you do that, so let it get as close to zero as you feel comfortable with.
A good program for keeping an eye on power stuff is wmacpi. It's what I use, since conky isn't reliable on my hardware when it comes to the battery. Install it thusly:
packer -S wmacpi
and run it thusly:
$ wmacpi
If you use openbox, like I do, you can add the following line to your ~/.config/openbox/autostart file.
wmacpi &
Here's an image of wmacpi showing a laptop being run off AC power.

Error when creating master group

I am trying to set up a replication environment with only one master site. I do
it by running SQL script using SQLPlus (rather than using the Wizard). The
following is the script I used to create the master site:
create user REPADMIN identified by REPADMIN;
BEGIN
DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN.GRANT_ADMIN_ANY_REPGROUP(
userid => 'REPADMIN');
END;
grant comment any table to REPADMIN;
grant lock any table to REPADMIN;
grant execute any procedure to REPADMIN;
All lines completed successfully. Then I connect as "repadmin" and try to
create a master group. The following is the screen capture when I ran the
SQLPlus:
Connected to:
Oracle7 Server Release 7.3.4.4.1 - Production
With the distributed, replication and parallel query options
PL/SQL Release 2.3.4.4.1 - Production
SQL> BEGIN
DBMS_REPCAT.CREATE_MASTER_REPGROUP(
gname => 'REPGRP01',
qualifier => '',
group_comment => '');
END;
2 3 4 5 6 7 BEGIN

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_MAS", line 420
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_REPCAT", line 45
ORA-06512: at line 2
I have no idea on the error message and even don't how to trace the error.
Is there anything I missed when creating the replication administrator
'repadmin'? Or anything I have to set up as well before I can create a master
group?
p.s.
1) The version of the Database is 7.3.4.4.1
2) I did try to create a master group using the Wizard in DBA studio, but
same error messages appeared.
Thanks in advance.

Using logical operators when creating software groups

Is there a way to use simple logical operators when using filters for creating software groups?
An example of what I want to do is to select all updates for the past month - but not include Definition Updates for instance. So all update classifications but NOT definition updates.

The '-' trick only works for ADRs to my knowledge.
For searching within the console, anytime you add criteria for the same attribute, it always adds it with an OR. This is a known design shortfall.
For your question specifically though, you need to reverse your thinking and instead of being exclusive, think inclusively. Thus, you can add an attribute multiple times to the search criteria by selecting and adding it multiple times -- once for each
classification that's not definition updates. Then, save the search as pointed out by Torsten.

When creating new group, no group folder is being created!

Hi,
I passed from standard server to advanced one. I have 2 shared points called "group" and "user" configured on a separate hard drive. When I create a user (create home folder), the home folder is created. When I create a group, no folder is created. So when a user login, his group folder appears with a question mark.
Afp works fine so since the share point "user" works fine.
Any ideas?

Group folder creation is not automatic. You have to open a terminal session on the server, and run the command:
sudo CreateGroupFolder
If that doesn't create the folder, check to make sure it's properly set in Workgroup Manager (including having an owner defined), fix any problems, and try it again.

SQL Query in Custom Security when creating Security Profile

Hello all,
I've created a security profile with Custom security and provided a simple query in Custom Security tab-
PERSON.PERSON_ID = FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID
Custom security option is "Restrict the people visible to each user using this profile"
I am not able to see the record as expected.
If I Hardcode the person ID "PERSON.PERSON_ID = 13449" with "Restrict the people visible to each user using this profile", I am able to see the record.
If I Hardcode the person ID "PERSON.PERSON_ID = 13449" with "Restrict the people visible to this profile", I am able to see the record after running PERSLM and same is in PER_PERSON_LISTS.
Am I correct in checking with FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID?
(This was mentioned in system administrator guide :
"+Oracle HRMS assesses the custom security when the user signs on. In addition, the custom security code can include references to user specific variables, for example, fnd_profile.value() and fnd_global.employee_id.+"
docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13509/T2096T2098.htm).
I have tried with FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID / FND_PROFILE.VALUE('USER_ID') / :ASG_ID (seeded query has a join with this bind variable) - not happening.
I've given options as below :
Employees = None
Contingent Worker = Restricted
Applicant = None
Contacts = All
Candidates = All
All other options - Defaulted
Thanks,
Sumanth

Resolved this - One cannot see self's employee record in the form for which this is setup.
Hence the below query though correct in syntax did not show any data.
PERSON.PERSON_ID = FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID
My original requirement was that all employees belonging to one's Organization should be displayed, and this is working fine with an updated query for the same.
Thanks,
Sumanth

Single Edition IPA fails at Itunes Sync - When creating V1.2 of App for submission.

Oh no - Failed at last hurdle......
Failed at Itunes sync of IPA file.
The Ipad Device ID is the same as it originates from same provisioning file as V1 of app and I have checked it again in Xcode.
I have restarted and re-synced multiple times and it fails each time. Restarted Ipad to reset.
Name is same, App id is same,
Next steps to try anyone?

Recreate your Mobile provisioning files. Make sure that while creating the MP files, you have not enabled for iclould and have checked your device to be included in the Mobile provisioning file.

Time_out dump when creating function group

Hi, Akhil, the rfc call is of course not run in foreground, but in dialog work process. Thats the same work process type, that performs requests of dialog users. Even though it does not sound much logically in first look, it has a logic. Also other limits for dialog users will apply.
If you have to run the FM through RFC, there is no way how to bypass the dialog work process runtime limit on destination system, it will just apply, in my opinion I would recommend you don't loose your time to work around this point. afaik it does not matter if you start it synchronously or asynchronously.
But as I wrote, you can try to throw a commit work in destination system occasionally, if you can (e.g. if you are not blocked in one big select query), you can also increase the runtime limit (but for all users on the same instance). You can redesign your application...
If you will study the dump, you will find that it occurred on the destination (accounting) system, not in the calling system - where you are really ok since you run in background work process.
Also, during the active RFC call you can monitor the destination system with SM66, where you will see this running process in DIA work process with the time increasing, before it will fail.
On the other hand if you will start SM66 on caller system, you will see the work process is BTC

Error -14120 when creating new group

I have a 10.5 server running in my office. It has been running without a problem for many months now. Recently the machine was rebooted ( due to power outage ) and I had to reset the localadmin passsword as I could not remember it. Now whenever I try to create a new group I get an error -14120. Same error if I try to create a new user. What gives? Any help appreciated.

SQL 2014 Always On Availability Groups

It appears to be working. I've attached a picture of the role that was created when I was finished configuring WSFC. Is there something that would I can check that would give me a definitive answer?

I am testing SQL 2014 availability groups and I have run into a snag. I setup a win2k8 r2 DC and two windows 2012 R2 servers running SQL 2014 standard. I setup failover clustering for the two SQL servers. In SQL Management Studios I have setup the availability group and everything seems to have been successful. except when the wizard completes I get an error Creating availability group listener resulted in an error.....Error 41009.The AG seems to be working I can connect to the AG in SSMS using the listener name. But in the Availability Group Listener section there is no listener setup. Also the databases also seem to be read only if I connect thru the listener name. The AD computer account seems to be setup correctly. I am just unable to create the listener in SQL. Is there a security permission in SQL that I could have missed. Any...

SQL Always on

Hello ,
i have sql server 2008 and hosting 3 databases
i have to upgrade to sql 2012 with always on .
i am not DB guy so how can i migrate the database from sql 2008 to 2012 is it kind of export or backup & restore
need any reference please regarding this process .

A database migration can be a very complex procedure as usually it's not only the databases that need to migrated. As far as only the databases are concerned, backup/restore would be the preferred method as it leaves your original environment untouched.
Please also think of other aspects such as logins, linked servers, jobs,... all server objects and all of your application's needs need to be migrated to the new server. This list can be endless depending on your specific environment.
Once you have moved your databases to the new server which has been prepared for AlwaysOn with failover partners you can create availability groups and such to establish high availability for them.

Cannot create a group with no members through DAS

I'm using OID 10.1.2.0.2.
It seems that the DAS Self Service Console cannot work with groups with no members:
- When creating a group, it always assigns orcladmin as a member.
- When deleting the last member from a group, an error is shown ("Require at least one user or group member").
- If you create an empty group via other means (e.g. the oidadmin tool), the group will not be visible in the "role assignment" section when creating a new user (even though we enabled that group for role assignment in the "user entry" configuration). After adding one member through the "edit group" page, the role shows up in the role assignment section.
I have a couple of questions regarding this:
1) Is this limitation (group must have at least one member) an ldap or OID limitation, or is it only a DAS or even "self service console" limitation?
2) Why is this limitation there?
3) Is there a way to work around this, i.e. make self service console be able to handle empty groups?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Johan

I do not agree that a group owner should be a member of that group. For example, I have a group "admins" and a group "analysts". The "admins" group is owner of the "analysts" group, since the users in the "admins" group must be able to create users and assign them to the "analysts" group. However, the "admins" group is not member of the "analysts" group, because I do not want the admins to act as analysts in my application. Ownership of a group (being able to manage it) and membership of a group are two different things. Besides, I also do not understand why the OIDDAS makes the orcladmin user a member of every group that you create there.
Of course, eventually I will have members in my group. But why is it a problem that there are initially no members of a group? I see no reason at all why this would be a problem.
The reason why I ask this is that creating an empty group (initially) is a requirement of my setup process. I am trying to release a clean setup script (with an ldif file) out of development, that our operational department can use to set things up. I want my ldif file to prepare all the necessary groups and owners, but not to create members in those groups (that's the task of the operational people).
However, as soon as I have these empty groups in place, the OIDDAS starts to act strangely (namely, the groups are not visible in the "role assignment" section when creating a user, until there is at least one member in the groups). That's when I found out that the OIDDAS actually does not like having empty groups (error when creating group without members, error when removing last member, ...).
If anyone knows, can you give me one good reason why the OIDDAS does not allow empty groups (or making groups empty)? As far as I can see, the OID/LDAP itself does not have a problem with this (you can create an empty group without any problem via the oidadmin application, or via import of an ldif file).
Thanks,
Johan
