Two Fundamental questions on UPGRADE/Patch

Question 1.
If i upgrade from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.3.0, should i call this as an Upgrade or Patching?
Question 2.
If i upgrade(or patch) from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.3.0, can i reverse theses changes and go back to 10.2.0.1.0?

You cannot downgrade the instance/databaseThanks Maran. But according to the following link (which Ying has suggested) 10gR2 can be downgraded back to 9.2.0.6.0
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/downgrade.htm#i1010243
Just for clarification: You can only downgrade your database (without using a backup) if your COMPATIBLE setting is less than the default of "10.2". If it has been set to "10.2" there is no way of downgrading directly, then you need to restore from backup.
If the COMPATIBLE parameter is still e.g. "9.2" then you can follow the instructions and basically - after performing the described steps - open the same physical database using a 9.2 instance.

Fundamental questions before starting next project

Last project I put together received scathing criticism - and I have to say that I did not put any effort at all to clean the code up or optimize it. The reason is I started with small projects and within couple of months it just grew out of hand with requirements matrix gradually increasing.
So this time around I want to take advice from you guys on architecture issues before I jump into programming. The two fundamental questions:
1) I always thought that SubVi is like a method in C++. If I need to use that code multiple times, then I better put it in a SubVi. But after going through some of the posts on this forum it seems that people use SubVis to reduce # of wires,blocks,etc. on the main Vi too. Is this a standard practice?
2) If I want to have more than 1 VI in the software, what is the best way to send data from one VI to the other VI? SubVI has input and output wires. So it is easy. But VIs do not. Basically I want to have Main VI where I get all the information from the use through a front panel and then go off doing my data acquisition. I want to keep the Main VI as clean as possible. There will be some operations which will need only 1 input and will have only 1 output. But this operation will be used only once in the who operation. So can I have this operation all in a VI and then call it in the Main VI?
3) If I have 3 different VIs in my application, and I define something (say an array) in the Main VI or for that matter second_VI.vi in my application, will that be available in the third_VI.vi ?
Thanks in advance.

You could call it similar to a method. I would say a subroutine or function is a better terminology since the term method is more applicable to object oriented based programming. Basically any way to encapsulate a portion of code, particularly if you use it over and over. It might have input and/or outputs, or neither.
2) If I want to have more than 1 VI in the software, what is the best way to send data from one VI to the other VI? SubVI has input and output wires. So it is easy. But VIs do not.

So can I have this operation all in a VI and then call it in the Main VI?
There is no difference between a VI and a subVI other than semantics. Both are completely independent excecutable portions of code. Your main or top-level VI can have inputs and outputs as well. You could execute it stand alone, or it could become a subVI of an even higher portion of code in your hierarchy. The only difference between the two is that a subVI is just a term to distinguish it as being a portion of a higher level of code. There are multiple ways of passing data between VI's. One is wires. When a subVI ends, the data on its indicator that is connected to the panel is available to travel down the wire to another portion of code. Another is global or shared variables which stores data to be used by multiple locations. Another is a function global variable, a LV2 style variable, or action engine. All of these use special characteristics of uninitialized shift registers to store data between calls of that subVI. Other methods of sharing data are on the Synchronization pallette such as queues and notifiers to store and pass data.
Using a subVI, even it used in only 1 location can help keep a portion of your block diagram clear. It gives you the ability to hide some details such as a complicated algorithm. You can write an algorithm as a subVI and it gives you the ability to test the inputs and outpus as a standalone. Once you have that. You can drop it in and use it even if it is only at 1 location. If you need to change it, you can modify the subVI and test it without risking the corruption of the rest of your main VI
3) If I have 3 different VIs in my application, and I define something (say an array) in the Main VI or for that matter second_VI.vi in my application, will that be available in the third_VI.vi ?
Possibly, it all depends on which of the methods listed in number 2 you would like to use.
Thanks in advance.

Two previous questions may not have been as clear as I would have liked. I recently upgraded my MacBook 2008 (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). With the updates came iTunes 11.1.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I am still using Garageband 2008 and iPhoto 2008. When I create music in Garageband I usually adjust the volume and save it. Even now when I share the Garageband created files with iTunes 11.1.1, the volime I previously set in Garageband is retained. However, when I use the music to create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime 7.6.6, the volume level I previously set is lost and seems to default to a low level. The problem seems to be either in the slide show export from iPhoto 2008 to Quicktime 7.6.6 or in Quicktime itself. Is there a work around, so that I can retain the volume level I had previously set in Garageband, a volume level that seems to transfer without problem to the new iTunes. But then iPhoto 2008 (slide show) possibly or Quicktime 7.6.6 do not cooperate. Before I did the upgrade to Snow Leopard, the new iTunes and Quicktime I had no problems with the set volume being retained in the old Quicktime. The reason I need control over the volume is that all these music files are uploaded to YouTube.

Do I need to shutdown both DB or Instances prior to apply upgrade patch?

OS: AIX 5.2
DB: 10.2.0.1.0
I am upgrading 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.3.0.
I have two DB with same ORACLE HOME.
Initially , I had one DB server than I installed another instance ( by using dbca utility).
My question is that Do I need to shutdown both DB or Instances prior to apply upgrade patch?
what will be my action plan?

Hi Sac,
Yes, you need to shutdown all instance and oracle process like listener, sqlplus, emctl for the Oracle_home you need to patch.
Action plan
* unzip the patchset files.
* shutdown all instance and programs on your ORACLE_HOME
* Execute runInstaller program
* Run "catupgrd.sql" for all your database after apply the patch.
For an detailed explanation please review the file README.html that comes with to the patch.

9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch problems.

We got some problem with Portal when tryed to apply
9.0.2.6 Upgrade. Could anybody give advice on this issue:
Initial configuration:
Solaris8, Portal 9.0.2.2.14, Oracle 9iAS R2 v.9.0.2.0, RDBMS 9.0.1.3. The infrastructure and midtier work on different SPARC-servers.
Accordingly upgrade procedure we succesfully applied:
a) Infrastructure: 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server
migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core.
b) 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core, Portal 9.0.2.6
patch.
After this we needed to make just one last step:
Portal 9.0.2.6 Repository Upgrade Patch (2981297) for
changing Portal's repository schemes. It worked but
like a result we got the next errors after patch upgrade
was done:
a) "The following invalid non-Portal objects exist in the Portal Schema: INDEX ABC (the name of portal object), PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL, PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following: (-+case mod not null <an identifier>,...) The symbol "null" was substituted for "," to continue.)" See upgtmp/nonportal.log
b) "ERROR: 1 invalid objects remain; ERROR: Failed while updating the new portlet IDS..."
c) "ERROR: ORA-01407: cannot update ("PORTAL"."WWSBR_URL$"."URL") to NULL.
d) Two package body of packages at PORTAL scheme became invalid: WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL. About 20 package body of packages at PORTAL_DEMO became invalid (It seems like initial portlet ID's disappeared
and except of pportlet_id there is nothing:
Example:
inital statement at body:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => 1065753336,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
after upgrade repository patch:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => ,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Like a result after 9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch application we lost the possibility to edit user's
profiles at Portal and other nesessary features. It seems
like some portlet ID's just dissapeared from Portal scheme. Could anybody had the same problem with Portal Upgrade 9.0.2.6? Quite possible that we missed some important element at during upgrade but ,really, we didn't wait so unlucky result. Advice something, please...
Regards. Igor.

Igor,
Since you've encountered undocumented errors, your repository upgrade has failed. You'll want to leave the repository as is for troublshooting, if at all possible, and log a TAR with support if you haven't already. They'll ask you to upload your upgrade log file and your upgrade tmp directory.

Questions about upgrade path to 7.0

Dear Experts
We are having a pre-project for our customers regarding upgrading their existing CRM 4.0 SP06 landscape (using Mobile Sales scenario) to 7.0 SR1.
I've understood that we need to do this upgrade in two steps:
1. Upgrade to CRM 5.0 (because of CDB upgrade)
2. Upgrade to CRM 7.0
What I would like to know is; Is it necessary to upgrade our whole CRM Landscape (middleware + mobile sales components) to CRM 5.0 before we upgrade to 7.0, or can we upgrade just the CRM online server to the 5.0 version, do the CDB upgrade. Then again upgrade it from 5.0 to 7.0 (including CDB)
Then we can upgrade the rest of the mobile components to 4.0 SP14 before we upgrade them to 7.0?
Also, if our customers wants to skip using Mobile Sales in the new release (just use CRM online with the new WebGUI), is there a job/document that describes how we clean up the CDB (since it is not in use in such a scenario)?
Regards

Yes it is possible and that should not be an issue.
Thanks,
Scott

Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

Greetings,
I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
Thank you,
Tim

Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
no need.

Oracle upgradation patch

hi,
I have downloaded not purchased Oracle 10gR (10.2.0.1) from official Oracle site for FileNet 4.0. but the issue is that FileNet recomends 10.2.0.2. becoz of this our integration of FileNet with Oracle is not successful...what we need to do is to apply an upgradation patch i.e upgrade from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2. My question is whether these patches available free from cost without purchasing licence...if yes then from where...the link...

Sadly, the Personal Edition is only available on
Windows OS.Ah, yes, correct. I was a bit hasty there.
Editions, including Personal Edition, are layed out in the Licensing Information guide.
I have not done (or will do) such an excavation, but I wonder how Oracle would consider licensing PE for use on other platforms? (i.e. use of "plain" EE install)

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

I can't remember my two security questions on my account. I made too many attempts and got kicked out for 8 hours. I do have a back up email addy that's verified on my account as well. Any resolutions?

Looking for some help please! I just got an iPad 4 and tried to purchase some apps on it and was prompted to answer my Two Security Questions that are on my apple account, and I can't remember them. I do have another verified email account attached to my account besides my @me.com one.
I created an apple account a couple years ago when I purchased my iPhone and now I can't remember what my answers were. If anyone has any suggestions or resolutions, it would be greatly appreciated as I cannot purchase anything on my new iPad and cannot make another attempt for 8 hours to my failed attempts :( Thank you

Tomorrow call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to the account security team.

Two part question 1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat?

Two part question
1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo? if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

Hi,
It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012 (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

Two theoretical questions

Hi there!
I'm designing an authentication system. Two theoretical questions have evolved. I am not so sure about it. Hope you can help me out =)
1. First sign or first cipher?
What is best practice here? Is it a risk to a symmetrical cryptosystem, if there's also a hash of the plaintext available? Or should the cipher text be signed? I am afraid that this might cause a security risk for the hash: The ciphertext's entropy should be lower than the plaintext's, which might cause lower entropy of the hash value that makes it more likely to find possible collusions.
2. Challenge Response Authentication
This is an hypotectical one: Is it of matter, if a (one-side) Challenge Response Authentication is done reverse: Bob sends Alice f(RAND), Alice deciphers it and sends RAND back to Bob.
Thanks for your help!

ManuelBreu wrote:
I'm sorry, my questions were not precise: By entropy I meant the ciphertext's nature that 0 and 1 will have (almost) the same likeliness, which is not the case in the plaintext. This depends very much on the nature of the cleartext. If your cleartext is alpha numeric ASCII then it is certain that the most significant bit of any byte will be a zero with some bias in the other bits (I have never looked at it so I don't know to what extent).
But you are right: I am affraid, that the uncertainty of the key might be negatively affected by fact, that there is also a hashvalue of the plaintext available.The extra information in the form of the hash means that there is less uncertainty but I would take the resultant entropy as near to the minimum of(hash entropy, key entropy, cleartext entropy).

Two app questions

Ok all, I have two app questions.
1. Ever since the IOS 5.1 update, some streams on Tune In Radio Pro do not play in stereo and I can't find a way to fix it! I've tried turning mono audio on and off, turning AAC streams on and off, and still nothing. Could it be that my phone is complaining that it doesn't have a sim card? That's my only theory at this point. I thought it had something to do with the stream bitrate and I have been working with the TuneIn support to try and get to the bottom of this, but nothing has worked. I thought it was just the 32 kbps and 48 kbps aac streams affected, but it seems to be all on some streaming providers. Here's some of the stations I've logged mono audio on, in Spokane, KZZU and KZBD, in Saint Lewis, WARH, in DC WRQX, in New York WPLJ, in Portland Maine WHOM, in Philidelphia WBEN, and in Yakima KFFM. These are all 32 or 48 kbps streams. I can't get stereo on KQMV or KLCK in Seattle, haven't tried KLCK actually as I listen to that enough over the air, I am just basing that one on how TuneIn is acting. I can also get KFFM in stereo via Radio Pup, so in that instance, it seems to be just a TuneIn issue. WBEN is also on IHeart Radio and does not come in in stereo on either app. I didn't mention KFAT in Ankorage, AK because they are with one of the providers that doesn't seem to have a stereo aac stream on TuneIn at all. Other stations in this category dealing with two providers here, WCLI in Dayton, OH, WJDQ Meridian MS, KMGL Oklahoma City, KLMY in Long Beach WA, not listed in a market on TuneIn, KRXY in Shelton also not listed under a city, and I feel like I am forgetting a few but that's most of them. If I didn't mention it before, KQMV and KLCK have 64 kbps aac streams as well as 32 kbps aac streams, problem only occurs on 32 kbps streams there. Any solution?
2. Now this next question will go really fast. TuneIn must use some kind of audio capturing software to record, but you can only do that with TuneIn stations. Is there a way to do this with other apps, such as the hd radio that works with the Ibiquity app in the app store?

Well, here's the skinny then. If it's an isolated issue and you cannot provide a way of replicating the problem, the Apple does not consider it an OS X problem. Rather it's a problem with the third-party software. Given what you have reported I'd tend to agree with that viewpoint.
There are some third-party utilities that enable audio capture from applications that don't support it themselves. The best of them is Audio Hijack Pro 2.10.3. I highly recommend it.
If you are interested in Internet radio then you should check out Radium 2.8.3 and/or World Radio 2.0 and/or Radioshift 1.6.7. The last one will record its audio.
