Time required to strip a field and export to .dmp?

Hello,
I am not an Oracle user but need some help with an Oracle-related question. I work for a newspaper's data department, and I am seeking to get records of inspections of day care operations from a state agency. The agency contracts with a third-party vendor.
The database is about 400,000 records and probably eight or nine tables in Oracle 10g. The vendor needs to strip out one field (social security numbers) and export the rest of the database to a .dmp file. The vendor says that this will take 23 hours of work at $140 an hour, for a total of $3,200.
I work with SQL Server and MyQL, and this seems like an outrageous amount of time and money to strip one field and export a file. Could some Oracle users give me their opinion?
Thank you.

Another thing to consider is if the schema design uses social security numbers as a key (generally not a good idea, of course, but not uncommon), then generating a SSN-free dump would require replacing every SSN with some other identifier and making sure that all the referential integrity was still in place, which could require a few hours of development time and make the QA process substantially more complicated. If there are free-form text fields, the vendor may also need to scrub those fields which could require a fair amount of manual effort to determine whether strings of digits are SSN's or something else.

  • Splitting of text fields when using multiple fonts within a text field and exporting it to XFL.

    Hi All,
    I have been trying out  InDesign and exported files to XFL for use in Flash. If I use a single font for a text box then everything looks fine in flash, but if  I use multiple fonts for the same text box its split into multiple text boxes. For making this more clear I have attached an image.
    Any help to resolve this!!!

    Paragraph styles are tied to the paragraph, not the page.
    You don't say which version you are using, but here's something you could try in CS3 or CS4. Set up a baseline grid in the preferences to match the main pages. The spacing should match the leading of the body text. Make a special paragraph style (you can base it on the body text style) that you will apply to text onthe chapter start page, and as part of that style set it to align to baseline grid. Now for the trick. Select the  text frame onthe start page and define a custom baseline grid with the spacing you want. Save it as an object style, too, while you're at it. The strating text should align to the custom grid on the start page and the documetn grid on the next page.

  • Why my system is taking 4 times or more to render and export? SOS

    HAve the latest system installed in the church for video editing. However, for a 30 mins project it takes 4 times or sometimes more to render and export. We are helpless. The following is the system configuration:
    OS                    Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit (6.3, Build 9600)
    Software           Adobe Pro CC
    Processor          AMD FX(tm) - 8320 Eight Core Processor, 3.50 GHz
    RAM                    16 GB
    System type          64-bit Operating system, x64-based processor
    Graphics Card          AMD RAdeon HD 6670
    MotherBoard     ASUS

    I'm having the same problems.
    I believe I have the answer.
    Everything was fine until I upgraded to CC.
    I built a box to specifically run Adobe products except the video card.
    I have an i7 chip,16 R, 2T, Windows 8.1, 64 bit and AMD Radeon HD 6670 (unapproved video card)
    I run a clean box. No 3rd party anything. No add-on apps.
    No hardware changes.
    Heres My Current Project: 45 JPG images - one audio track MP3
    A 3 minute clip of still images takes 30 minutes to render.
    And then nearly 30 minutes to export as an MP4.
    It use to run blazingly fast.
    I built this new box with an i7 to speed up the processing time as my previous system hardware had become outdated.
    Once I built the new system and installed CS6 the Premiere CS6 rendering time was less than 3 minutes for a 3 minute clip.
    Nice. Happy Face.
    Since I upgraded from CS6 to the CC version my Premiere CC performance disappeared.
    How can this be? I've used Premiere for years.
    I explained to support how blazing fast my system ran until recently. One of the tech support persons told me it was a fluke that my system ran so fast. He came to the conclusion that based on with my hardware CC should not have run that fast. And now my slow rendering time is back to where it should be based on my hardware, slow. I was trying to contain my enthusiam knowing I was back to...slow! You know, I'm really patient but after 3 hours on the phone I was transferred to the Photoshop Department. Why? Because the images in my project were most likely corrupted. The very images that were originally imported into PS CC from my iPhone which as one my know... iPhone images on a PC are upside down. I did a 180 on 45 images and re-saved them with new file names as JPG's.
    It was determined that I had to do a batch renaming of all the jpg images and re-attach them in Premiere CC.
    So we parted ways and I hung up the phone.
    This is now my problem. Ok. Fine. It's now determined that I have an unsupported AMD video card. Ok. Fine.
    After an hour on Google searching for a new (low end) $500.00 video card the solution came to me!
    I'm thinking, we've both this all backwards.
    Here's my serious suggestion:
    I think you (Adobe) should offer a "Box of Clouds" based on all of your hardware specifications.
    (Cue chorus of the song, "Come Together" by The Beatles... )
    Sell and/or Lease to me the entire product - the supported hardware with pre-installed software! (No 3rd Parth Vendors)
    I'll never have to hear or worry about my CPU, GPU, CUDA, MPE, 6670, SSE, TD, HD, AMD, ATI or INVIDIA ever again.
    This will make my GIGA Hurts feel better and all of us can get back to work!
    Problems solved!
    Please send me an Adobe Box with Clouds and I'll be on Cloud 9!
    I Think It Is Genius!
    Ok...back to work...

  • Fields missing in import and export structure PPCO0001 - PPCO0023

    Hello Experts,
    I'm hoping that you can help me.  I am trying to add some logic in user exits to default data and do some checking in production orders.  It would be great if I could talk to you about what Iu2019m trying to do and the problem that Iu2019m running into.
    My main problem is that in the exits provided (enhancements PPCO0001 u2013 PPCO0023), most of the time either fields being imported or the field being exported do not include the fields that I want to change or check.  Iu2019m wondering if there is some way to just pull-in the data and change/check in addition to what is already available to the exit. - Can I append the structures?
    Hereu2019s an example below:
    u2022     PPCO0006 Enhancement to predefine fields in order header
    With this enhancement you can take fields from the order header in your own program and process them or define values for them and transfer the changed data again to the standard system. The transfer to the system takes place before you reach the order header screen. EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003   Exit for predefining fields in order header.  The fields in the order header (structure CAUFVD) are placed in the function exit. All the fields that you can define or change are defined in the structure HEADER_CUST. The contents of HEADER_CUST is transferred back to CAUFVD on leaving the function exit.
    Problem 1.
    The documentation sounds greatu2026. Seems like the right place --  all the data I need is supposed to already be in CAUFVD_IMPu2026. BUT HEADER_CUST and HEADER_CUST_EXP do not have the fields that I need change.  If I try to append the structure and include additional CAUFVD fields I either get a warning in the activation because of duplicate fields or If I try to add them as Zfields the program doesnu2019t take the change data because it does a move-corresponding from HEADER_CUST_EXP to CAUFVD and the Z fields donu2019t match.  - what is the correct way to change header values if the fields that you want to change are not already defined in the structure HEADER_CUST?
    Problem 2.
    It seems that this exit occurs prior to pulling in the data from the standard routing (which would normally populate CAUFVD-PLGRP ... at the time of the exit this field is blank so i cannot use it to determine the value for another header field.  I could get around this by reading directly PLKO but that won't help me if I cannot add CAUFVD-FEVOR as a field availble for changing/defaulting.
    Problem 3.
    If I get around Problem 2, I still have another problem.  In PPCO0007& PPCO0001 I'm trying to change the user status to block the order from being printined until it passes the validation check and is error free.  In PPCO007 I can block the order from being saved or in PPCO0001 I can raise a message that an error was found... but I need to change the user status at the same time as rasing the error or blocking the save.
    Thanks so much for any guidance that you can give.

    Dear,
    When you do so, in the PPCO0001 customer enhancement, you should carry out follow actions based on the status changes since the contents of the STATUS_TABLE and STATUS_TABLE_OLD  Exist is EXIT_SAPLCOBT_001  and  CALL FUNCTION 'STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN'
    For details refer the OSS note 86553
    Hope it will help you.

  • I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

    I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

    @Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
    If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

  • Can RMAN backup and export datapump executed at the same time?

    Hello,
    I have several databases that I backup using RMAN and export datapump everynight starting at 6PM and end at Midnight. The backup maintenance window doesn't give me enough time for each database to run at different time. I am using crontab to schedule my backups. Since I have so many databases that need to be backed up between 6PM - Midnight, some of the export and RMAN backup scripts will execute almost at the same time. My question is can my export data pump and RMAN backup scripts run at the same time?
    Thank you in advance.
    John

    Needs must. If you don't run expdp parallel then it doesn't use that much. If it was really killing the system then look into setting up a Resource plan that knocks that user down but this is a big step.
    I woud better look into using Rman
    system incrementals, and block change tracking, to minimize your RMAN time.
    Regards
    If your shop needs to do both simultaneously then go for it.
    Chris.
    PS : One of my shops has maybe 20-30 rmans and pumps all kicking off some simultaneous, some not, from 0000 to 0130. No complaints from users and no problems either. Go for it.

  • CRXIR2 image from blob field and some fonts not displaying in PDF export

    I used CRXIR2 developer edition to create a report linked to a SQL 2000 database table.  There is a blob field containing a JPG image that is different for each record in the table.  I am using VB.NET code with ASP.NET 2.0 to programmatically change the temp file to a local folder for easy cleanup, open this crystal report with the 11.5.3700.0 version of the assemblies, set the datasource to a DataTable extracted from the DB, and then export to a PDF file.
    The code for creating the PDF is:
            Dim TempRoot As String = MapPath(".") & "\temp\"
            Dim oldTmp As String = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TMP")
            System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", TempRoot)
            Dim objReport As New ReportDocument()
            objReport.Load(MapPath(".") & "\CReports\" & ReportName)
            For lnX As Integer = 0 To objReport.Database.Tables.Count - 1
                    objReport.Database.Tables(lnX).SetDataSource(resultTable)
            Next
            Dim objDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
            Dim objExportOptions As New ExportOptions()
            Dim objFormatTypeOptions As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
            Dim pdfName As String = "test.pdf"
            objDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = MapPath(".") & "\temp\" & pdfName
            objExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
            objExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
            objExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = objDestinationOptions
            objReport.Export(objExportOptions)
            objReport.Dispose()
            System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", oldTmp)
    When I run the site locally in VS2008, everything works fine and a PDF contains the graph and all the fonts are correct.
    However, when I run the exact same site from a web server running IIS6, the PDF generated does not have the image, and some of the fonts are substituted (all of the necessary fonts are installed on the IIS server).
    Please help!

    Hi Don,
    I am able to see the image and export from the CR Designer on my machine running XP.  However, I installed the designer on our IIS server running Server 2003, and the image does not show in the designer preview on that machine.
    I found another forum thread that you are involved in (1902383) that seems to be dealing with this exact issue, and it looks like there may not be a resolution.
    I am going to try a different route - instead of pulling in the SQL Image field directly, I am going to write it out to a temporary file and pull it in by altering the graphic location of the picture object in the report.
    I'll let you know how that works.

  • How to write the code for IMPORT and export in Field exit

    Hi,
       Using the FB01 tcode with condition as document type (ZF) and company code
    i want to substitute values should come in the next screen.
          i am passin the document type and the company code in the FB01 initial screen (100) and added field exit for Cost centre.
    if the Doc type ZF and company code is 0245 then the field exit shoul trigger and give the defaul cost centre value if it contain any cost centre valu it over write the existing if it is empty i will write the defauls cost centre value.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nelsons......

    Hi,
    As i have understood, if ur doc type is ZF and company code is 0245, then you want to pass the value to cost centre field in next screen.
    You can use program RSMODPRF. here enter the data element of cost centre field and assign the screen no and program name (for FI docs prg name would be SAPMF05A).
    After assigning program and screen no , Create the function module where u have to write an 'if' statement for assigning value to cost centre (i.e export field in FM)
    the values for company code and document type can be fetched from their respective parameter  ids i.e. BUK and BAR.

  • CSMA/CA NAV/Duration field and random backoff timer - Process

    Hi guys,
    Gotta a quick one for you.
    Pls see text below
    As a condition to accessing the medium, the MAC Layer checks the value of its network allocation vector (NAV), which is a counter resident at each station that represents the amount of time that the previous frame needs to send its frame. The NAV must be zero before a station can attempt to send a frame. Prior to transmitting a frame, a station calculates the amount of time necessary to send the frame based on the frame's length and data rate. The station places a value representing this time in the duration field in the header of the frame. When stations receive the frame, they examine this duration field value and use it as the basis for setting their corresponding NAVs. This process reserves the medium for the sending station.
    An important aspect of the DCF is a random back off timer that a station uses if it detects a busy medium. If the channel is in use, the station must wait a random period of time before attempting to access the medium again. This ensures that multiple stations wanting to send data don't transmit at the same time. The random delay causes stations to wait different periods of time and avoids all of them sensing the medium at exactly the same time, finding the channel idle, transmitting, and colliding with each other. The back off timer significantly reduces the number of collisions and corresponding retransmissions, especially when the number of active users increases.
    So, if all clients in a WLAN see a frame come from station A, and station A has set the duration field, all other stations set their NAV and wait until it expires.
    THEN, i would expect all stations to start to contend for the medium at exactly the same time.
    BUT you have the random backoff timer.
    The question is does the NIC add a random number to the NAV field, ie, once it sees station As duration field value (lets say 300us) it adds 47us to this and the NAV is 347us? -- or do all stations decrement the NAV field to zero and then start a random backoff timer?
    Many thx for the help,
    Kind regards,
    Ken

    Sorry chaps, but I think you've got this wrong...
    The whole point of a NAV being transmitted by the TX & RX ends is to stop hidden node issues - with both ends transmitting the NAV, you are guaranteeing that every 802.11 device within range of either end of the transaction is quiet for the duration of the NAV.
    Lets say we have a TX (A) and an RX (B), and another device (C). Lets say that (A) can hear (B), and that (B) can hear (A) and (C). (A) and (C) cannot hear each other.
    (A) <<>> (B) <<>> (C)
    Applying that to your scenario...
    <>
    it now counts down to 310, it checks the air, and sees the same packet still being transmitted
    309, 308, 307 .............
    gets down to 12us, checks the ait, NOW DOES NOT see a packet being transmitted.
    you count down to 11, it check the air, you donot see a packet being transmitted.
    <>
    The part where it jumps down from 312 to 11 is wrong. Just because (C) can't hear anything, doesn't mean that (B) isn't receiving something from (A).
    What actually happens with NAV's is;
    [Lets say (A) is transmitting to (B)]
    1. (A) transmits NAV, value = "NAV-A"
    2. (B) receives packet, along with everything else in range of (A), on the same channel as (A)
    3. (B) responds to (A) with "NAV-B". "NAV B" = "NAV-A" [minus] "Elapsed Time"
    4. (A) receives packet, along with everything in range of (B), on the same channel as (B)
    At this point, every device on that channel will be silent for the duration of the NAV, regardless of whather or not they hear anything during the NAV countdown duration.
    When the NAV expires, the Random Backoff Timer begins, and the lowest/ quickest client to get to zero then gets to transmit, and the whole process starts again.
    Let me know what you think, but I'm pretty sure that's how it actually works.
    Rgds,
    Richard
