To calculate the size of backup for a particular database in RMAN catalog

Hi ALL,
Could you please guide me how I can calculate the size of backup data for a particular database in Recovery Catalog, if I am using Tapes as my backup media for recovery catalog.
Regards
Harpreet Singh

Hi,
I am not Up to the mark of your question ..
If you see the V$log you can get it.. Size of the redo logs can be determined either by examining the file system size or by reading the BYTES column on the V$LOG view. Then Check the number of redo Logs avaialble checked whether they are mirrored or etc., Combining the two figures we have a total redo log data at peak in one day. This is the amount of data that any backup facility or storage of Archive Redo Logs would have to take into account. This figure should be mitigated against the fact that manual switching of redo logs means that not all archived redo logs will be the full size.

How to calculate the size of web forms in hyperion planning?

Hi Experts,
I am trying to calculate the size of planning forms in Hyperion smart view., but i am unable to find out the way to calculate.
Can you pls explain how to calculate the size of web form in Smart view?
--- Srini.

Hi Srini,
First, here is what Oracle says:
Data Form Size Estimation:
To get a rough estimate of data form size, open the data form and select File > Save As from the browser. The size of the .HTML file is the portion of the data form that changes based on grid size. The .JS files remain the same size and can be cached, depending on browser settings. Information such as data form definitions, pages, and .gif files are not compressed when data forms are opened and sent to the Web browser.
I have not been able to find out using their method.
In any case, you can find out the size of grid by using below
1. Right click on the form grid and click "View source"
2. Save the source file as "Example.html"
3. Right click the saved file and click "Properties"
4. The Form size whould be same as that of file..
Let me know if it helps.

I cannot select the last iPhone backup for a new iPhone restore

why
i cannot select the last iPhone backup for a new iPhone restore?

Hey quarterback45,
Thanks for the question. This usually occurs when your new iPhone is on a earlier iOS version than that of which the backup was created with:

Backup for Sql Azure Database

Hi,
We are using the automatic backup option available with Sql Azure , but it is not working for us and throwing the some error.When we raised the ticket for same we had received reply saying this feature is not supported by MS.
Could you please advise what is best approch for taking the backup for Sql Azure Database.
Regards...

Point in time restore is a great feature to sit along side automated export but not a replacement. Automated Export allows us to keep long term backups (30, 60, 90 days) which are important and also allows the ability to import to my local server a backup
from a previous day for testing or support reasons.
RedGate provide a backup service as well but I was hoping by using PIT restore and automated backup together I would no longer need to pay for that third-party service.

How the transactional replication work for simple recovery database (looking for some internal concept)

How the transactional replication work for simple recovery database (looking for some internal concept)
Rahul

There seems to be a new myth going around recently. I’ve had at least three people tell me, in the last month, that SQL’s transactional replication requires the database to be in full recovery.
This is complete fabrication. Replication (SQL native replication, that is) can work with the databases in any of the recovery models.
Transactional replication does involve the transaction log, as that’s where it picks up changes from. The log reader scans over the transaction log looking for log records marked for replication, copies those to the distribution database and then marks them
as replicated. When the checkpoint (for simple recovery) or log backup (for full or bulk logged) occur, the log will only be truncated up to the oldest inactive, replicated transaction.
Because transactional replication has its own way of ensuring log records aren’t discarded before been picked up by the log reader, there’s no requirement for a specific recovery model.

How to retrieve the Sapscript layout changes for a particular Transport request in development server after this Transport request so many requests created ?

Dear Abapers,
I request the Abapers kindly reply for this blog
I want to retrieve the sapscript layout changes for a particular transport request in development server after that many transport request created and moved to quality ?
I checked in SE03 transaction the transport request was there. But I want to retrieve the existing transport request which is not moved to Quality?
Is it possible to retrieve the existing transport request in development which is not moved to quality ?
Like how we retrieving the programs using versions in development server, In the same way I want to retrieve the sapscript layout in development server ?
Thanks & Regards
Muzeebur Rahiman.S

Hi,
There is no version management for SapScript or Smartforms .
When you write "transport request in development which is not moved to quality" - was the transport ever released and exported from the development system? If yes, and if the "Transport files" are still available in "Transport directory" (or if the transport files were backed up and could be retrieved), the transport could be imported again. If the TR was not exported, you are out of luck, I believe...
I would not recommend you do it on your own even if you happen to have enough authorizations (consult with Basis and/or Transport Admin, if you have one in your organization). I would not recommend that it's imported on a development system or QA system, even if the transport contains no other objects - only the SapScript form in question. Import it on a "sand-box" that gets overwritten by system copy from time to time... Once the transport is imported, you should have the old version of SapScript in that system and could analyse the changes and perform manual merge.
cheers

How to find the oracle home directory of a particular database ?

Hi all,
There are multiple databases in our machine server ; there are many oracle9i and many oracle10g databases.
I forgot the directory where I installed a particular database so I want to know how to know the directory path where its oracle_home was. For example C:\Orant\Bin.
Thank you very much indeed

Yea friend .
I m agree with u . Because In my Linux server There are 2 database . I have to use Automatic run script (use dbstart) for Database so that Datbase will be auto up during startup. My default oracle Home for Oracle user is "/ORACLE" and also mention it i Oracle ".bash_profile" .
I give the entry into "/etc/oratab " Like following :
vi /etc/oratab
test1::/oracle:Y
test2::/oracle:Y
But One database (test1) is up during startup the server but another (test2) is not . I dont understand the problem .... can anybody give me some suggestion ?
In this pint , If Oracle Home is the problem then How can I find the Oracle Home regarding these two databases ?

How do I calculate the size of files that I have UNC paths for

I am on SQL Server 2008 R2. I have a table that contains a field called [Location]. In that field is a UNC path to the physical file on the repository. Is there a way in SQL Server that I can say give me the select sum([Location] UNC file) where criteria?
I saw some posts about xp_filesize or xp_GetFileDetails, but I do not see them in master. I am unable to add anything and wondering if there is any native functionality that would allow me to accomplish this!? Thanks.

Maybe you can use an Excel Macro for this kind of thing.

Set mySource = MyObject.GetFolder(mySourcePath)
On Error Resume Next
For Each myFile In mySource.Files
iCol = 2
Cells(iRow, iCol).Value = myFile.Path
iCol = iCol + 1
Cells(iRow, iCol).Value = myFile.Name
iCol = iCol + 1

How to calculate the size of database (a different one)

Hello Friends,
I am told to move the data from server to another machine (cloning is one very good option, I agree. But I expect a different answer regarding exports and imports). so How should I go about the task. The destination machine has got unlimited space. So thats not a problem. My questions are :
1) How should I start the task ( I generally go for studying the structures and their sizes. Is it ok ?)
2) If I am using Unix machine and there is a limitation that my server will not support file sizes of more than 2 GB, What should I do ?
3) Shall I have to go for a full database backup or fragment the task ? If I do that , there are many schemas, so it will become tedious. But full backup will exceed OS size limitation. What should be done ?
4) Is there anyway, I can go through a dump file, to find out, the database objects present inside that and note the related dependencies.
Please respond.
Regards,
Ravi Duvvuri

1) They are Unix machines. So will the size problem occur(if there is a limitation). How to overcome that?
If the OS are of the same version you will have any problem. Regarding the storage only you have to have space in disk to store the datafiles, redo logs and controlfiles and nothing else.
2) I am trying Export/import measure. Though there are other good methods, I just want to explore the full capabilities of Exp/Imp
r.- Recreate the controlfiles is more effective and fast if the OS are of the same version.
3) And the oracle version is 9i 2. (If I have to perform this on 8i (both source and destination, will the methods are going to differ ?)).
R.- The method is the same for 8i/9i/10g.
How should I go about doing this export/import ?
r.- To use this method you have to have the original database started.
To recreate the controlfile without having the datafile that you mentioned you have to get out it from the CREATE CONTROLFILE sentence and that's it.
For Example: I mean, if your database has 8 datafiles and you have only 7, you have to include only 7 in the CREATE CONTROLFILE sentence.

What is the best online backup for OS 10.5.8? And if I Reinstall OS will I have problems?

My old Mac has had the flashing question mark file on a blue screen. I waited a couple days, turned it back on and it worked. However, in between that time I went and bought a new Macbook Air. I am relieved to have all of my pics and docs back. I need a good online backup. I downloaded BackBlaze Backup but it is taking forever and I am not sure if it's the best choice.
My plan is to backup all of my files and then wipe my computer clean with the install disks and give my computer to my little sister. So, my question is two fold; which is best online backup and will I have any issues wiping clean the computer and doing a reinstall? For example, will all the updates still be available? What is the best thing for me to do?
Thank you : )

Just understand it gets pretty expensive after you exceed the free space. 2-5 GBs isn't much space.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
     capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

How to calculate the next incoming PO for a given material/plant in an elegant way

Hi experts,
Given a material and a plant i want to find out when the next PO is arriving. Is there a function module to calculate it?
This is the values i want to retrieve, but this method is not very optimized and can have performance issues:
"Entry un EKPO with material (MATNR), plant (WERKS), and Delivery Completed Indicator (ELIKZ) = blank, select the PO
numbers.
For all the POs, sort in EKET for the field ‘Delivery Date’ (EINDT) to get the next delivery date being
EINDT ≥ Todays day
Take the next PO to be received. Do the calculation (MENGE – WEMNG) for the item
The result of the calculation is the amount still open and that is supposed to be received. "

Hi,
You can use the FM: MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API. Execute the FM with plant and material number in selection. Now, check the structure: MDEZX which will give you all the requirements for the item. You can filter the items in the structure where MDEZX - DE = BE which will give you only the purchase orders. Also, the items will be sorted automatically based on the date.
Please check the same and revert back.

How to calculate the size of a Text Field?

Is there a way to calculate the number of characters allow in a Text Field? If a uer type over this number of characters a popup window will appear telling the user that he/she has too much texts. Of course I could use the Limit Length, but I have to manually put texts into this text field and count them. If the Limit Lenth number is too small, the texts does not fill the whole text field. If the number is too big then the texts does not get printed.

There would be no easy way to do this. You'd need to do some pretty fancy calculations, it would all depend on the size of the field, what font is used, the font size, whether it's been bolded, underlined, italicized, etc etc.
What are you trying to accomplish? Make it so that the user can type in the text field until it fills and then have it stop without scroll bars coming up to allow him to keep typing?
