The most basic RMAN implementation

Version:10gR2
For my test db ora652, i need to use RMAN for backup and recovery. The backup location is an NFS mount called
/dbbackup/ora652I need to use the most basic RMAN implementation. I don't want to use a repository (Client RMAN)ie. i am going to invoke the RMAN utility from Database's ORACLE_HOME to do this.
Can anyone provide me the command to configure RMAN for this?
Here are my files
--datafiles
/u02/oradata/ora652/system01.dbf
/u02/oradata/ora652/undotbs01.dbf
/u02/oradata/ora652/sysaux01.dbf
/u02/oradata/ora652/users01.dbf
/u02/oradata/ora652/shp_tbs01.dbf
--temp files
/u02/oradata/ora652/temp01.dbf
--redo logs
/u02/oradata/ora652/redo01.log
/u02/oradata/ora652/redo02.log
/u02/oradata/ora652/redo03.log
--control files
/u02/oradata/ora652/control01.ctl
/u02/oradata/ora652/control02.ctl
/u02/oradata/ora652/control03.ctl

A couple of things....
1) Did you know that Oracle actually provides documentation on how to do this type of thing? You can find the Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Basics guide at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/toc.htm
You will be amazed...they actually provide guidance on scenarios as well.
Here is the "basic" script they show for backing up a database.
RMAN> RECOVER COPY OF DATABASE WITH TAG "whole_db_copy";
# Make an incremental backup of the database to the flash recovery area.
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1
FOR RECOVER OF COPY WITH TAG "whole_db_copy"
DATABASE;
Now those are the basic commands you can execute at the command line. There are other possibilities depending on your platform is a shell script with a cron job, manually as the above script shows, shell script executed manually, Oracle Enterprise Manager (which is a pretty little GUI that requires no coding on your part), 3-rd party software.
2) You better test this on a non-production system.
3) You better test the restore on a non-production system.
4) You better have plans for storing your backups offsite....hate for a fire to destroy your system and all copies of the backups...wow your boss would be mad.
5) You better read the documentation and understand RMAN in general.

I'm trying to find an easier way to import my music to iTunes. Even the most basic music player can scan your computer and import found music into your library. I don't want to move my MP3s into the iTunes folder, I don't want iTunes doing any conversion.

I'm trying to find an easy way to import my MP3 collection into iTunes without moving, copying or changing it.
I can't believe that iTunes doesn't have this feature, as even the most basic music players always have this.
I only use iTunes to sync my iPod, as I like Media Monkey to play my MP3s.
I have 137GB of MP3s, mainly from my ripping my CDs, LPs and downloading from Amazon. I've only purchased a handful of songs from iTunes,
Any ideas on how to do this easily?

It does have that feature. Why would you assume that it doesn't?

Okay, no problem.
If the top bar menu is not displayed in top left of your iTunes Library, use the CTRL+B keys to turn it on:
On that menu, use File/Add Folder to Library and navigate to the folder you wish to add:
If you wish to add just one song, notice the File/Add File to Library command on that menu as well.
Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop from the file's location into your iTunes Library.
That's all there is to it.
By the way, it is possible to have Amazon MP3s downloaded to your computer and then automatically added to the iTunes Library by the Amazon downloader. I do it all the time.

Trouble accessing the most basic JRE functions?!!!

I'm in my 1st semester for Java programming, I've just downloaded the latest SDK to Windows XP, & everything appears to be fine. (the dancing bird etc) But I cannot locate the Text Pad in order to run the most basic Java commands to test my compiler. Can anyone help me? And please explain the various possibiliies it as if I were a child, my thanks in advance.

There is not magic that you need to know to configure the path variable, it is the same for Java as it is for any windows commands, just go into your "System Properties/Advanced/Environment Variables" and set up your Path variable. javac is just an executable (EXE) program like regclean or notepad. Look in your system and make sure you have your path variable include the fully qualified path pointing to where javac and java are located.
You are also going to have to setup a system variable called "CLASSPATH" and have it point to your java library.

New user needs the most basic tutorial

New to the mac world and spending most of my time looking at help menus. can anyone reccomend a most basic tutorial to help me find my way around the screen .

Here is also an independent site many people find helpful:

though it's a bit daunting at first glance due to the many options (it used to be simpler). Another site you may find to offer some helpful resources:

For about a week now you put in the most basic of searches and then try to enter a site and firfox goes off to totally random sites, could be related to an update but what do I need to change to stop it happening?

Firefox has always been great on going to selected sites, now for past week or so it goes off to the most random of sites even when the site you selected is well known and used, very frustrating
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== possibly after one of your updates

Am i missing some basic CONFIGURATION setting (persistent setting) here?

The archivelog is actually at

/u04/arch214/arch_603157736_2_47455.arcThe path is different. Can you check the filename in v$ARCHIVED_LOG ?
Apparenly, the log_archive_dest_1 parameter is different in the two instances.
Have you configured multiple Channels appropriately to connect to the two instances ?

How do i realise the most basic functionality with my zen tou

I've been playing around with my zen touch for a couple of hours now and I have to admit I'm impressed. The zen has certainly opened my eyes and challenged my previous foolish preconceptions about portable mp3 players which should be open platform, plug-and-play, straightforward and easy to use, because my experience thus far has not been any of these.
In an attempt to stop wasting any more my time I was just wondering if someone could quickly tell me how exactly do I manage the files which are already on my touch? A couple of things I would like to do:
. view and music files on my zen touch from some interface on my computer
2. copy music files from my zen touch back on to my computer
3. delete all music files without manually having to go through each and every album
Now I've probably made another crass assumption that it is infact possible to actually do this, but here's to hoping.
Now, the manual says I can use the creative mediasource organizer to transfer music to my touch. And indeed, Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 claims to be able to do just this (transfer music tracks to and from your Creative portable music player using Sync Manager and SmartFit*). My question is... how? I've run the organizer, it looks like yet another music library management tool, great except for the whole part about that mp3 player stuff. Is there a hidden setting somewhere only available to stonemasons that will let me access my mp3 player?
I've also installed the Creative NOMAD Explorer (Version 3.0.0). Now, at least this works - in the same way a person in a coma can be said to li've. When I open the 'music library' I get an empty explorer window to I can click and drag mp3 files into it and it copies them over. So, I guess I have some functionality, although it would be kind of nice to have some feedback about what files I have on there.
Now as it's not april fools I'm not quite ready to accept that zen touch as the great big joke it appears to be, so if somebody could provide some insight I would really be grateful.
edit: forgot to mention, running .0.03 firmware, and the model number on the back is DAP-HD004. Upgrading to the 2. firmware is unfortunatley not an option at the moment.Message Edited by adante on 02-24-20060:7 PM

Mosey: thank you for the information. Just out of curiousity, was I just not paying attention and was this made known somewhere? Or do creative just expect you to potter around endlessly installing software in the hopes that you might randomly stumble across the right configuration?
Perhaps I am just crazy for assuming that if the latest firmware does not have a superseded message, it is still acti've and valid.
Anyway, I'm happy to report that the situation has been resolved mostly to my satisfaction. I was able to fob off my zen touch to some other sod, and actually make a profit from it, no less! This was quite a pleasant surprise because I usually dispose of fecal matter by flushing it down the toilet (but then, I don't have to pay for it either).
I have since purchased a noname mp3 player which, while having some pretty severe firmware, provides some great additional functionality which I have to admit I really like over the touch. Primarily, this was being able to copy mp3s to and from it* and hence use it as an mp3 player! I know this concept is a little radical, but I really think creative should look into it because it would really add some value to their current line of paperweights and doorsto
ps.
So thanks creative for that hilarious little experience. I have to admit, you guys certainly do manage to distinguish yourself from the field and push the limits of mp3 player technology. Where I used to think of a nai'vely spectrum of good to bad, I have since extended this from the good, to the bad, to the creative.
* This alone is a great feature I was never able to realise with my touch, and made even better by the fact I didn't have to install all sorts of half-baked software to achieve it!

The most basic midi question goes unanswered..

I know. I just must be missing this somewhere, but I cannot find the answer.
I'm using a drum samples in Logic 8. My drummer uses a AlternateMode "TrapKat" as his triggers of choice.
However, we can't get logic to recognize this instrument and record midi using its functionality. In fact, we can't even get a level reading when the Trapkat is hit. We're using a 002 interface as our "sound card" / control surface and have the midi cable connected from the TrapKat, directly into the midi "IN" on the 002.
What pray tell are we doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

So basic in fact, that 4.23 minutes later, my dog answered it, and we're all set
(nevermind)

THE MOST BASIC THEME

Dear All,
IS there a more basic theme in iDVD than 'Transparent Black'. It seems to be the one with the least stuff on it but ideally I want one that has NOTHING on it - basically the whole page can be the drop zone for a photo or short movie loop. And you just add buttons as you need them. So like 'Transparent Black, but without the black band at the bottom.
This must be possible somehow.
Thanks
Dan

Yes and the thread I pointed him to has a post by me that describes how to take a very basic theme and modify it, either to make it more basic (simple blank background) or change it to something else (company logo for a background). This is what I assume the original poster is looking for?

Using the Assets panel [was: The most basic stupid question on here]

I am very new to web design, self taught on sites like GoDaddy and Microsoft Office Live, but there's no access to root directory and adding affiliate banners won't work. So here I am. Problem #1 so far is how do I get stuff into my assets. I've messed around for a while w/ no success. It can't be that hard. Someone out there please give this "newbie" the instructions for getting text, images and stuff from my computer into the assets box on Dreamweaver. I'll have nightmares about "dreamweaver" till I get this figured out. Thanks a million in advance for answering such a basic (almost stupid) question

There are no stupid questions around here, but a more descriptive subject heading would be appreciated in the future. "Assets Question"

Should I buy a MacBook Pro now (Jan 2012) considering that a refresh of the MacBook Pro line is imminent? I will be buying the most basic 13 inch MBP and its taken me quite sometime to save up (almost a year!)

I'm not very well off and although I love MacBooks they aren't cheap either, I've been saving up for a long time now and I don't want to regret it if nvidia or ati graphic cards make an appearance in the new macbook pro 13 basics. Advise please!

While you are waiting for the new models to come out you could of been using the one you bought tomorrow all that time.
When Dell, HP, Toshiba, Sony, Apple, Whoever comes out with new models they will have different thing in them. Faster lower powered CPUs better graphic faster hard drives or SSDs more memory and maybe a better operating system.
So why not wait 1-2-3-4 years. By then the thing may even wash your back and feet for you.
And they wiil be selling at a premium. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Can I run Final Cut Pro X on the most basic Mac Mini?

The Spec sheet: http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/ it says "Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better." I'm not sure whether what comes with the standard Mac Mini is same / better or worse.

Thanks,
My 5 y/o Macbook is on it's last legs I think and really need something decent for video editing. I don't do millions but can't even install FCP on my current Mac and even iMovie takes about 3 days to even open on it. (I've upgraded RAM, HD and OS till Lion).

You can find out for yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.
http://www.apple.com/uk/finalcutpro/trial/
Sorry, I didn't realise at first that you hadn't yet got a Mini.
FCP X should work perfectly on all current Macs.
However, the ideal one would be an iMac if you can stretch to that.

I record a video of my screen in Quicktime. I then open the video in iMovie and do the most basic of edits: cutting portions of the .mov I don't need. The edited file is ~2-3 times bigger than the original Quicktime file. What gives?

So my question is, how do I get iMovie to edit the file without changing the size of it? It can't improve the quality of the Quicktime movie by making the file size bigger, so why does it do this? The Optimization options do not help the situation. Any insight into this is greatly appreciated!

Getting started -- in the most basic way

OK, I'm not very techie but this goes beyond. As I was pulling my ipod out of the box, it turned on and accidentally, the language selected was Japanese. How do I change it back to English?
How do I turn up the volume?

To change the language you turn on the iPod and then go to Settings>Language and pick English by scrolling through the list. This might be difficult to find if it's now in Japanese so it might be easier to restore your iPod. This will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings so make sure you have all your songs backed up in iTunes: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

The most BASIC PHP question imaginable.

I am working my way through the Lynda.com PHP Essential Training.
I have MYSQL, Apache & PHP all installed an working.
If I type this code into textedit, and save it as test.php, and view it in Safari, then every works as expected:
<head>
<title>PHP test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello World!"; ?>
</body>
</html>
and I see "Hello World!" on the screen.
If I create a new PHP file in Dreamweaver CS4 and enter
<?php echo "Hello World!"; ?>
I see that the code looks pretty much identical in the code pane, but when I run it, instead of seeing "Hello World" I see: <?php echo "Hello World!"; ?>.
Clearly, there is something (presumably to do with the server side, that I am not setting properly, BUT WHAT??? I am absolutely pulling my hair out over this.
Any suggestions??
Thanks,
Peter
