Trouble creating duplicate db?

Hi I am trying to create a clone using the rman duplicate. I am running 10.2.0.3 and the primary storage of the target database is using ASM. I ran a full online backup of the target database to an ASM diskgroup named RECOVERY_DG. I can see that the backup sets are there in the RECOVERY_DG disk group.
I have the clone database up in a nomount state. I created the following script to create the clone.
run {
allocate auxiliary channel ch1 device type disk format '+RECOVERY_DG/CLNDB/BACKUPSET/2009_09_24';
allocate auxiliary channel ch2 device type disk format '+RECOVERY_DG/CLNDB/BACKUPSET/2009_09_24';
allocate auxiliary channel ch3 device type disk format '+RECOVERY_DG/CLNDB/BACKUPSET/2009_09_24';
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO DEVDB NOFILENAMECHECK;
That is the location of where the backup sets are stored.
I run rman and connect to the target db and the also connect auxiliary to / (my sid is set to the db n the nomount state)
When I knick off the rman sxript to create the duplicate I get the following error saying there is no copy or backup of my data files?
RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 09/24/2009 13:40:37
RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore

RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile 121
RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile 120
Why is rman not finding the backup set correctly?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

This error message indicating that specific data file not exists at that place.
Another way for creating duplicate database is that you take cold backup and paste it on another machine. bring database in mount stage then just rename only datafile paths.
If cold backup is not possible then you can take hot backup , after prepared hot bakcup prepared one new oracle server machine . paste all these hot backup files on this new server machines bring database in mount stage, change datafiles paths and apply all the next archive log files to bring the database with production database .
Third one option is export and imort.

ITunes Consolidation: Will it create duplicates of media files if they already exist in the new itunes destination folder but arent being referenced by the itunes library?

I have a macbook pro from fall 2010. I have been using my external HD as my primary itunes folder for the past 7 yrs ( i.e it is organized by itunes default categorization, etc). However, there is some overlap between my external HD itunes folder and my comps original itunes folder (probably 20-30% of my current library's media files were already duplicated there from when i first bought the HD and transferred files to the external, however they are mostly referenced from the external now). Also there are files in the comp's itunes folder that are not on my external (probably due to organizational mishaps and podcast downloads when not connected to the external, etc). I do not know how many files this is the case for.
Recently, i decided that i wanted to consolidate all of my itunes music into one concise folder on my macbook's HD to avoid these issues going forward. I also just bought a new external which i will use to back up my comp's itunes folder once i consolidate everything to the comp. But i plan on using the itunes folder on the comp going forward or at least using the consolidate fcn to avoid these issues.
Here is my dilemma. Prior to learning of the consolidate feature today, I changed the default itunes folder in settings to the original itunes folder on the macbook and then manually dragged all of the media files from my external itunes folder to the macbook's itunes folder. There were a ton of duplicates or overlapping folders with similar artist names, so i opted to have them merge all folders where possible. After doing this, i realized the itunes library still references these files that i dragged and dropped from the external since that is where my default itunes folder used to be. At that point i then read and learned of the consolidate itunes feature which seems like the best way to do this. But i am afraid that if i consolidate my library to my macbook's itunes folder now, will it create duplicates of the 4000 + media files i just dragged to the macbook's itunes folder which are already in the itunes library but being referenced from the old external??
Question: Is there a way that i can make these files i just dragged to the macbook's itunes folder become the ones referenced by the itunes library through the consolidate feature without creating duplicates of these 4000+ files? I want to avoid having three copies of these files (two duplicates in the itunes and the originals on the external). Furthermore, is there a best way to find out which files in the macbook's itunes folder are not being included in the library after consolidating everything to the computer's HD? Then after that, what is the best way to start backing this all up to my new external, so that this overlapping issue doesnt happen again? Im assuming i just need to make sure to consolidate first when changing itunes folders going forward. Thank you. I know that was a lot to read but hopefully someone can help with this issue.

In general:
- The best way to check if files are in a library is to drag the whole media folder to the library. If something was missed it will be added. If it is in the library is won't be added a second time.
- If you have a second copy of a file and iTunes does not currently list that specific file in its database then even if it is identical to one already in the database it will add it a second time. So if you have file xyz on the internal drive and the external drive and add them to iTunes you will end up with two entries for the same thing in iTunes because you really do have to copies of the files. While this can happen with two copies on a single drive, it will almost definitely be the case when you have a copy of a file on two drives because iTunes really sees them as two different things.
-Unless you know how iTunes works, avoid moving files yourself. Let the consolidate feature do all the file moving. Manually moving files can really mess up iTunes unless you know what you are doing and have iTunes set to not try to do it itself.
- There's no clean and easy way to delete duplicates. The best thing is to change practice so you don't create them. Here are references:

Does uploading iPhoto libraries from multiple Macs with the same photos create duplicates in the new Photos app?

I have 4 Macs and I had the same iPhoto library on each of them. When I chose to turn on the iCloud Photo Library on each of them, each Mac, each one of them uploaded the library to iCloud Photo Library.. Now it appears that I have many duplicates in the new Library. Is it adding each of the 4 libraries to the mix? It's a real problem as I have 25,000 pictures - 70GB in my library. So paused the upload on 2 of the Macs about half way through in case it is creating duplicates, until I get some answers. Any help would sure be appreciated.

I'm in the same boat as well. I'm doing one mac at a time and seeing how it works. Howev the upload is so slow, who knows when it will be done.

Hi Naresh,
Thanks for reply. Correction instructions from this note refer to METHOD MODIFY_CONP_ADDRES which doesn't exist in crm7.0.
I can see in CRM that contact person is replicated and is present in BUT000 but table BUT052 is empty for this contact.
What is more we have implemented in our CRM note 564538 To change Contact Persons grouping replicated from ECC to CRM.
But also have: Note 757955 - Incompatible change concerning CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU.
We checked as well
Note 609766 - Correction of BP GUIDS in CRMM_BUT_CUSTNO, BUT000, CRMKUNNR
Note 836353 and run reports to find inconsistencies in tables BUT052, BUT051, ADCP and ADRVP. However no inconsistencies were found.
Thanks in advance if you have any other idea.
Cheers,

How to make iTunes add a folder without creating duplicates?

Hello,
I have a PC running windows 7. I keep all my music in one folder on a NAS device. I am getting more and more fed up with Windows Media Player (WMP) and I would like to move to iTunes. This move, however, appears to be as painful as using WMP. Please help if you can. I have used iTunes before so I have an existing music and video library and I also have a number of playlists both with music and videos. I cannot afford to start from sratch, i.e., to remove and readd everything; it would be too costly. I have two major problems with iTunes:
1. When I try to add files that already exist in the iTunes library iTunes happily adds these file and creates duplicates. I cannot find a knob that would prevent iTunes from creating these duplicates and simply ignore any found files if they are already present in the library. All such duplicates point to the same file on disk. I am really scratching my head over this as I would think that this would be a very basic thing to do/allow, yet it does not seem to be possible. Is it me missing something simple here or is it Apple telling me that this is how it must be...???
All I want to do is to add the top folder that contains all my music without having to deal with thousands of duplicates. I cannot add the files one-by-one because there are too many of new files there and if I remove all the files and re-add them all my lists will likely become empty (tried it on one list and, as expected, the list got emptied once I removed the files that were in the list). Hmm, is this asking for too much? Please help.
2. I do not seem to see a way to tell iTunes to monitor for new media files. WMP allows you to specify folders to monitor. You add a file to the folder and the file gets added to the library. What is wrong or bad with this concept (other that it would not work if duplicates were handled)? Why does iTunes not seem to support that?
Thank you,
Peter

tt2, thank you for your reply. Let me restate your answers the way I see them.
Problem #1: You said that "iTunes only creates duplicates if you ask it to...". Well my goal is not to create duplicates but to avoid them and the problem with iTunes is that it does not seem to offer an easy way to do this. Do not get me wrong, I like iTunes but let's call black black and white white. So the way I read your answer is: no iTunes does not support a way to add the same folder twice without creating duplicates.
Problem #2: The answer to the second question is also no, iTunes does not offer any way to monitor for new files in a folder or folders.
I wish the above were incorrect but from what I hear and from what your wrote I conclude iTunes does not support any of that.
You offered external to iTunes solutions for both problems. Thank you for that! I did not know about this tools. Having said that my iTunes music files are on a NAS device (files not copied to iTunes library), my video files are on NAS but (because of the necessity to convert to iTunes supported format) they were transcoded and stored in iTunes library, my iTunes Store purchases (music) are in the iTunes library and on the NAS (backup - likely duplicates). In short it gets messy very quickly and after reading the NAS and multi-path warnings for the DeDuper tool I am just not jumping on the idea of using it - there would be physical duplicates and I would not want any physical files to be deleted. tt2, do you know if the DeDuper offers a mode where it would present the user with a list of duplicates and allow the user to decide which dups to remove before doing anything? I basically would want to remove the dups from the library but without deleting any physical files.
I will have a closer look at the iTunes Folder Watch program. Unless I am misinterpreting something I think it should do what I want to do.
So again, thank you for your answers and suggestions with the external tools. It is just too bad that iTunes does not support what I (and many others) need natively.

Data loader : Import -- creating duplicate records ?

Hi all,
does anyone have also encountered the behaviour with Oracle Data Loader that duplicate records are created (also if i set the option: duplicatecheckoption=externalid) When i am checking the "import request queue - view" the request parameters of the job looks fine! ->
Duplicate Checking Method == External Unique ID
Action Taken if Duplicate Found == Overwrite Existing Records
but data loader have created new records where the "External Unique ID" is already existent..
Very strange is that when i create the import manually (by using Import Wizard) exactly the same import does work correct! Here the duplicate checking method works correct and the record is updated....
I know the data loader has 2 methods, one for update and the other for import, however i do not expect that the import creates duplicates if the record is already existing, rather doing nothing!
Anyone else experiencing the same ?? I hope that this is not expected behaviour!! - by the way method - "Update" works fine.
thanks in advance, Juergen

Sorry to hear about your duplicate records, Juergen. Hopefully you performed a small test load first, before a full load, which is a best practice for data import that we recommend in our documentation and courses.
Sorry also to inform you that this is expected behavior --- Data Loader does not check for duplicates when inserting (aka importing). It only checks for duplicates when updating (aka overwriting). This is extensively documented in the Data Loader User Guide, the Data Loader FAQ, and in the Data Import Options Overview document.
You should review all documentation on Oracle Data Loader On Demand before using it.
These resources (and a recommended learning path for Data Loader) can all be found on the Data Import Resources page of the Training and Support Center. At the top right of the CRM On Demand application, click Training and Support, and search for "*data import resources*". This should bring you to the page.

Trouble creating pie-chart

Post Author: ujain82
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hello, I am having trouble creating pie chart. I am calculating different count values from different data providers. Now I need to create a pie chart showing the proportion for each count as I can find the percentage of count.
My scenario(task):I need count on persons depending on searching on complaint text. So for each search I have a data providers. Like this I am searching for 8 criteria. So I have different data providers for each search. I get person counts from each criteria.
Now I want to show it in a pie chart. But I could not make it done.Does anyone faced a similar problem? How do I solve my problem?
Any comments?

Hi ujain82,
Because you have some data provider,so some metric may have no conjunction,i suggest that you creat variables to reuse them.

Is there a way to replace tags on import rather than create duplicates??

I use the tag engine to connect with the KEPWARE OPC server program and at times I want to change how the tags are located inside KEPWARE but keep the same tagnames inside LABVIEW. I export the .scf file and modify it inside EXCEL. When I import it again it will create duplicate tagnames. When you have 4000-8000 tags, it can take awhile to delete the duplicates. It would be great if we could replace the existing tag name data. Maybe I should be creating a vi to modify the properties of individual tags instead. How does anyone else work around this issue??

I would export all of the tags and then modify the ones that need to be modified. Then, before I import them, I would create a new scf file. This way there are no duplicates.

Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I am having trouble creating a form in Dreamweaver for my website. The form is fairly basic, just some contact/comment input required.
I created my webpages using Fireworks CS4 and exported them as HTML and Images. The basic format of my website is to have a rectangular block in the middle of the page, where the form elements are supposed to be entered. However, it seems that I cannot simply add a textbox or textarea to the middle of my page. If I try, everything gets shifted around very strangely.
How can I leave the format of the page intact, but add in the form elements (name, email, comments)?
You can see the page here: http://www.wafflesnjoe.com/preview/contact.htm
Thank you

Thanks Murray, I had a feeling that that's where I'd be headed.
Is there a more seamless way of transferring webpages from Fireworks to Dreamweaver, such as CSS and Images, that would make it easier for me to work in Dreamweaver?
Would you recommend building websites in Dreamweaver, and not bother with Fireworks?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a newbie.

Subject: Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver
I'm not very familiar with Dreamweaver, so this may be a basic question to ask.
The trick is to be familiar with HTML, not DW, since HTML underlies everything that DW does, and that you want to do on a web page.
To add a form to a page without disrupting the layout of the page, you have to a) select a layout design that constitutes good practice, and b) build the layout so that it accommodates the form. I know that's not a very satisfactory answer.
First of all, unless you are fairly familiar with HTML, your layout will not be easy to implement because you will need to constrain the form and its elements to fit vertically within that central area. This is not so easy because you have no way of controlling how large or small I (as a visitor) am displaying my text in my browser. Thus, that form's content is going to expand or contract vertically causing the boxed area to need to expand or contract accordingly. This is layout 101 for an experienced developer, but may just push you over the edge if you have no HTML under your belt. So, I would discourage you from trying to use this design. Is that possible?

How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?

Hello!
How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?
So... Quite often I choose to 'Edit in photoshop' from Lightroom but then end up not saving the result. (for example, because I just wanted to experiment with the photo, or I'm not satisfied with the results)
However, Lightroom always creates a copy of the original photo, which stays in the catalog even if the photoshop changes aren't saved.
Is there a way to stop this, and only add a photo if it has been edited in PS?
Using LR5 with PS CS6 on a Mac 10.9
THANK YOU!

Select 'Open the Image in PS as a Smart Object'. The image will be rendered by ACR in memory without being written to disc until you save it from within PS.

ITunes won't stop creating duplicates and triplicates in my library!

My issue is that iTunes is creating duplicates of my songs. Over and over and over again. I have the preferences set so that it is saving everything in one folder, etc. It still happens. In fact, not only are there duplicates, there are 4 and 5 copies of songs. I've gone and deleted the duplicates, and then when I go to play the remaining file out of the library, it says it can't find it.....it's really bizarre. At first it wasn't that big of a deal, but now I have several gigs of hard drive space taken up by duplicate songs. It's a nightmare.
Here's some additional info about my setup; I hope this helps.
Windows XP Home OS
iTunes version 7.7 (was also happening with previous versions)
I store all of my music on an external Maxtor USB hard drive
I periodically sync my iPod classic
I occasionally use Airtunes
Please help! Anybody?!?!

did you ever figure this one out? my album folders contain one set of duplicate music files in them. glad it's only one set of duplicates at this point, but that's still double the pain in the a**.
i could spend an hour or two "fixing" this, but i dont want it to happen again...
