Unix/Linux: How can other OS-users use the Instant Client?

Hello,
I have a question concerning the practical use of Instant Client. I'm new to this topic and followed the installation guide for Instant Client and installed the software from CD as "oracle"-user belonging to "oinstall"-group.
My question:
How can I now grant access to the installed libraries which belong "oracle:oinstall" with a completely different user, lets say "tsmith" who belongs only to OS-group "users" ?
What is the most recommended way to grant access to other users?
(in the documentation I found the following statement "the only user accounts that should belong to the oinstall group are the Oracle software owner accounts. For example, the oracle user"....that would mean, it is not recommended to put the user "tsmith" into the "oinstall" group, isn't it?)
Please tell me, how do you grant the access to Instant Client from other user accounts in daily life?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Regards

Oracle tends to be as restrictive with access permissions to the installed software, which is good in principle, but often leads to problems and bugs.
I'd say that if Instant Client is the only Oracle software you have installed in this Oracle Home, you can safely loosen the permissions on this Oracle Home.
I'd change directories to 0755, normal files to 0644 and executable files (files that have executable permission for the owner) to 0755.
Yours,

I have NDS 4.16, and I have iMS 5.1 running on Sun, Solaris 8. I want to know how can I add users using the command line instead of the console. My problem is how to set the password to this user?

You can use ldapmodify found in <ServerRoot>/shared/bin
for example
./ldapmodify -h ldaphost -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -f <name of LDIF file>
Here's an example LDIF file
dn: uid=cms,ou=people,o=balius.com,o=Universe
changetype: add
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: inetUser
objectClass: ipUser
objectClass: inetMailUser
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
objectClass: nsManagedPerson
objectClass: userPresenceProfile
cn: Chad M. Stewart
sn: Stewart
initials: CMS
givenName: Chad
pabURI: ldap://host:389/ou=cms,ou=people,o=balius.com,o=Universe,o=pab
mail: [email protected]
mailDeliveryOption: mailbox
mailHost: my.mailhost.com
uid: cms
dataSource: Chad by hand
userPassword: users-password-here
inetUserStatus: active
mailUserStatus: active
mailQuota: -1
on a subsequent search you'd see something like
userpassword: {SHA}S3e+L/K6

How can I access and use the alphabetical keyboard of the phone ? I cannot find the answer in the manual of use. Thanks for your help !

Recently I was abroad and tried to contact my voicemail to check my messages. I was asked to enter a password and did not know how to use the letters below the figures on the keyboard. I had to give up and wait until I was back in my country (no password is then needed).

I have about 10000 images of different persons with dimension of 640*480. I wan to crop face from these images to dimension of 200*280. The location of face varies in differnt pics. So, please let me know step by step how can I perform this using the Lightroom software. Also I wan to know what should be the aspect ratio to do so.Thank you in advance

The aspect ratio should be set to 200x280, or equivalently 5x7.
I don't think it is possible to do the cropping automatically in Lightroom, you'd have to do this image by image to crop the faces correctly.

How can and where i use the function "HTMLDB_UTIL.CLEAR_PAGE_CACHE "

Hi,
Not sure if any of you above have managed to solve your problem or not but after coming across this same problem myself today as I am currently 'sofa bound' I decided to make it my mission to find a way around it.
Initially I did think, having ready what seemed like a million questions and people with the same problem, that the only way was to buy OS X 10.5 ... HOWEVER, no. In among all these threads I found a jewel - Download I Tunes 9.2.1 which gets rid of the download itunes 10 advert and allows you to then buy from itunes again :-) I am now one very happy lady.
I apologise to all those that dont have older versions of OS X that maybe wont support even this upgrade but certainly for those like me with just 4yr old lap tops at least it means it not longer means buying a new one.
Hope this helps son very frustrated people like myself - so much for apple support!

Installing and using the instant client

Hi, we are having some troubles with understanding how to use the instant client.
We are using a windows client, connection to our Oracle database via odbc, so we can make some staticstics.
We used to use the full oracle client 8 install, but when that gave us some troubles, so we wantedto switch to a newer release, and saw that there was an instant client. Thinking that i didnt need to install the full oracle client i downloaded the basic package and the odbc addon.
I unzipped the two archieves in c:\oracleodbc on a clean computer.
I added the c:\oracleodbc path to the %path%
I added TNS_ADMIN system variable pointing to c:\oracleodbc
i ran the odbc_install.exe program.
I would now think that i could access the oracle database via odbc without having to install the full oracleclient, but it does not work.
When i try to add a odbc connection in microsoft odbc manager i get the following error when i choose the oracle odbc driver:
"The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126"
When i click ok to that i get a new error window with the title: "Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed" and the error text:
"Could not load the setup or translator library"
I was not planning to use any TNS files, but just use the quickconnect string, to connect to the right oracle service.
Do i still need to install the full client for it to work or what ?
Hope someone can help out.
Thanks in advance.

I'm replying to an old thread, but did any of you ever got this resolved?
I've got a fresh Windows 2003 Server install, from which I'd need to establish an ODBC connection to an Oracle database.
I've downloaded Instant Client Basic and ODBC add-on, unzipped them into D:\oracle\instantclient10_2\ , added the path into PATH, TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_HOME environment variables and run the odbc_install.exe successfully.
Trying to create an ODBC connection (System DSN) results in "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126".
I don't have MFC71 on the server and I couldn't figure out where to get those - I won't install MS Visual .NET just for this. MFC42 appears to be included in the OS.
Where can I get an older version of Instant Client instead?

I'm trying to distribute a DB Application using the Instant Client provided

Hi!!
I'm trying to distribute a DB Application using the Instant Client provided by Oracle.
I've checked the FAQ of Oracle and says the Instant Client supports all existant versions of Oracle.
But I've also seen in another posting that the oci.dll needs the same Oracle version file it was created with.
I need to distribute an application that provides all the 8i, 9i and 10g versions.
Do I have to distribute the oci.dll for each version?
I just wanted to check if this was true.
One more question, when I uncompress the Instant Client, many files appear from which
I only left oci.dll, oraocci11.dll and oraociei11.dll and erased them all, but the program
still works. Is it ok?
thanx

I am not sure what you mean if you say that you "need to distribute an application that provides all the 8i, 9i and 10g versions".
If you mean that you want your application to be able to access Oracle Databases of versions 8, 9 and 10, then you can use Instant Client 10.2.0.4 which is able to connect to all of them.
If your application does not need more than the three DLLs you mention to run, that should be fine.

How to access .dmp data with the Instant Client?

I'm a total beginner, and am trying to access a .Dmp database. I have installed (on Linux i386):
Instant Client Basic 11.2 + SDK + SQLPlus
I'm aware that I have to further set the environment variables ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and think I know how it should be done.
The files installed in the oracle directory are as follows:
$ ls /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib
glogin.sql libocci.so libsqlplusic.so ottclasses.zip
libclntsh.so libocci.so.11.1 libsqlplus.so xstreams.jar
libclntsh.so.11.1 libociei.so ojdbc5.jar
libnnz11.so libocijdbc11.so ojdbc6.jar
$ ls /usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/bin
adrci genezi sqlplus
But this is where I hit the wall. Just a couple of questions:
How do I make the Client to access the data? I've read a bit about name resolution such as tnsnames.ora and EZConnect, but have no idea what these are, even conceptually.
How do I actually start/configure the Oracle client? Is there an executable somewhere?
Can the .dmp file be even read by the client or do I have to use the SQLPlus to make queries (as I've read somewhere)?
As you see I'm clueless. What are the next steps, or could you point me to a practical tutorial that would show what I need to do.
Thanks a lot for any help..

Right,
I browsed the manual, but I didn't understand whether the import utility part of the oracle database software?
Are there any freely downloadable tools by which I can import the data (and then read with a client?).Everything in the Utilities manual is part of the database software set. If you have a database, you have all of those utilities. If you don't have a database, no third party equivalent to those utilities (if such existed) would be of any value.
Depending on your database version, the .dmp file could have been created with either 'exp' (export) or 'expdp' (datapump). Unfortunately, by default both utilities produce a file with the .dmp extension, but they are different formats and not interchangeable. You will need to find out exactly how the .dmp file was created. Actually, you need to find out the entire command used to create it, not just which utility, because the options used at export time will affect what options are available and desirable at import time.

How can multiple Mac users have the same iTunes?

I have a MacBook, and my wife and I have separate accounts on it. It's easier that way for separate Facebook accounts, email, etc. However, it's complicated when it comes to iTunes and applications. We both want to use the same iTunes library. We have iTunes Match, but I'd rather not re-download my entire library when it's already on my computer just so we both have access to it. I tried following the directions at this article, but it didn't work. So, how can both my wife and I, from different accounts on the same Mac (and using the same Apple ID) access the same iTunes library and have any changes reflected on both accounts?

Obviously, if you just need to copy those iTunes folders, you don't need the ability to write; just the ability to read, which you already have.
Besides, the /Users/Shared folder is indeed an excellent location for a shared iTunes library; I hadn't yet considered that. Ignore all the above instructions. First, make sure your two iTunes libraries are in sync. Use an external hard drive (or mess with permissions) to do what copying you need to. Then go into iTunes and iTunes>Preferences...>Advanced and change the iTunes Media folder location to /Users/Shared. All of your iTunes content should be copied (or moved) into /Users/Shared.
After that, do the same thing in the other account, and both your iTunes libraries will now be pointed to the same location.

How can I display and use the full RAW file?

Hi,
my camera (Canon S95) has a sensor with 4:3 aspect ratio and thus saves all RAW files in this format. Additionally, the camera can automatically create JPGs with a cropped ratio (e.g. 3:2 or 16:9). This is very helpful because you can see the target format already on the camera screen (with black bars on top and bottom), which helps the composition. However, when processing the photos on the big screen afterwards, it often also helps the photo to adjust the ratio a little bit and therefore use the additional information saved in the bigger 4:3 RAW file. This works very well with many of the freely available software tools.
The problem found in Lightroom is now that it only shows the RAW photo in the cropped format and up to know I have found no way to display or use the full RAW format. So my question is: Which settings do I have to change to use the full format? What do I need to change?
Searching a little bit on the web I found many other photographes having the exactly same problem with many different cameras. However none of them reported to have a solution for this. Still I am pretty sure that there must be a solution, since otherwise this would be a really heavy bug within Lightroom and I cannot imagine that Adobe would leave this matter unsolved.
So I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.
Many Thanks
Martin

Hi Jao, Victoria, Lee Jay,
Thanks for clearification. Do you have additional information about when this fix will be available and whether at least some popular old cameras will be supported?
What I do not get is why Adobe would need to redo all existing cameras. I think this is a more general issue, where Lightroom misinterpretes the exif data which includes both the exif image height/width as well as the cropped image height/width. Intepreting this information correctly, any software should be able to display both - the full image and the cropped area (as shown by many cheap or free software tools). In the internet I found another workaround for the issue in Lightroom, which is undermining this point: When setting the cropped image height/width to the numbers of exif image height/width manually (e.g. with exif tools), Lightroom actually is able to display the full 4:3 picture.
So this bug should be easily fixed for all cameras and I have no clue why Adobe still has no fixed it with Lightroom already available in version 4.2.
Cheers
Martin

How can i lock users so the can't get into a transaction

Hi everyone.
I've developed a workflow that updates an status in TCODE PP02.
When user create the infotype, i have a BADI that starts a workflow.
If user want to modify the infotype, it has to tell him that that object is managed by workflow.
Problem is that the workflow has a task that has to update the status of the infotype. Because of BADI, i cannot update because i get the messagte that the object is managed by a workflow.
I have to have 'something' in the BADI that allow me if the object is being edited by a user or by a workflow.
Regards,
Inigo.

Problem is that i must force the user to do it with workflow task.
This is the scenario.
A user creates an infotype. Automaticly, the workflow is ttarted and the task send to users determined by a function module.
Now, because that object is managed by workflow, nobody can change it via tcode. They have to execute the task (which has a call trasaction that do the same that if you access normaly trough its TCODE).
I've made a check in a BADI for users that try to change the infotype via TCODE. They get a message ..'Error, object is in a workflow task' (checked with FM 'SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT).
The problem is that the task executes a call transaction and the process is the same as if you execute the TCODE 'online'. The FM is called and get the response that the object is in a workflow task.
I need some info (don't know where to get it) that can be searched in the BADI and determine if the user that is executing that BADI is an online user or is a workflow task the one that is executing that BADI.
Regards,
Inigo.

How can you export photos using the USB connector?

I am on vacation and trying to export photos from the iPad to a flash drive using the connector I bought from Apple. It doesn't seem to allow this function. Do I need an app to help with this? Thanks.

Hi there,
The iPad Camera Connection Kit can only import images from cameras or SD cards, onto your iPad. It cannot operate the other way.
It does not support most flash drives anyway.
I urge you to submit feedback to Apple on this matter:
