Unregister database from the catalog

Is it possible to cancel the registration of a database from the catalog?

First you should delete all backups from the catalog database for the target. This isn't required but is easier accomplished with the target still registered.
Next, you'll need to obtain the DB_KEY and DBID from the RC_DATABASE view in the RMAN schema in the catalog database. Then you'll run the following as the RMAN user connected to the RMAN catalog database in SQL*Plus.
execute dbms_rcvcat.unregisterdatabase(DB_KEY,DBID);

Unregistering of a database from RMAN Catalog

Hello,
We had set up RMAN backup though RMAN Catalog for one of our database.
We later decided not to take the backups of this particular database. One of the DBA did something but what we can see now is that -
1. Target database is not registered in the catalog so no information can be gathered rman prompt after connecting to catalog through target database
2. But the recovery catalog "rc_backup_datafile" is showing as if it has old backups
We know that the tapes don't have the backup of this database.
Question - How to remove information from recovery catalog for a database in such a situation where although the database is not registered in the catalog but somehow the information related to old backups still persists in the catalog tables.
Thanks!

Thanks Tycho, for my purpose DBMS_RCVCAT.UNREGISTERDATABASE worked fine.
I have another question though -
We have compressed backup for one of the database/
If I look at backupset by executing "list backupset xxxxxxx;" command it shows the correct compressed value (in GB) of the backup set.
BUT when I look at the rc_backup_datafile table of the rman catalog for the size of of the backupset, it shows the uncompresses size of the backupset. I am using following query -
select BS_KEY,SUM(blocks*block_size)/1024/1024/1024 GB from rc_backup_datafile where DB_NAME='CCSTG04' and BS_KEY=1 group by BS_KEY;
Question - How to check the compressed size of the backupset from the Catalog tables/views?
Thanks for your help on this!
Thanks!

We are using SAP SRM to punch out external catalogs. Firefox version 3.5 and below works fine and the items from the catalogs are brought back to SRM .But when we use version 3.6.12 the items are not getting transferred back to SRM from the Catalogs.

SRM is a procurement system from SAP which we use to purchase goods and service. We have external catalogs like officemax, cdw etc which we punchout the items and bring it to SRM for ordering.
When we use firefox version 3.5 and below the items which we add from the Catalogs are correctly brought back to SRM for us to order. But when we use versions 3.6.12 the items are not brought back to SRM.
Internet Explorer 7 and 8 works fine. Is there anyway you can help us.

Hi,
Firstly I would suggest you to upgrade your database from Oracle Release 11.2.0.1.0 to Oracle Release 11.2.0.2 . This is the recommended Oracle 11g database version for SAP solutions. Many of your problem will get resolved with it.
Question 1:
So my first question would be is there any other suggestions besides adjusting the mentioned parameter above in order to ensure that no work processors going into hang state due to RFCs' occupying it as this issue always happens at the end of the month only when there are massive users accessing it.
For immediate resolution the approach you have followed is correct viz limiting number of dialog processes for RFC. Secondly you need to analyze why RFC processing takes so much time. You need check which programs are getting executed by those RFC.

Question 2:
My second question is what went wrong with the libttsh11.so file. How could it be 0 size in PRD when no signs of changes had happen to the PRD system. Is this a proven Oracle Bug or something else since I have never encountered anything like this before.
The libttsh11.so library cannot be found in the related directory.
Cause
The file system is mounted using CIO option, but per Note 257338.1 Direct I/O (DIO) and Concurrent I/O (CIO) on AIX 5L, an ORACLE_HOME on a filesystem mounted with "cio" option is not supported.
Such a configuration will cause, installation, relinking and other unexpected problems.
Solution
Disable the CIO option on the filesystem.

Hope this helps.

Running scripts from the catalog

If you run a backup script from the catalog and you lose your connection, does the script continue to run (like if it were run with nohup) or does it fail?

When we connect to RMAN we use TARGET parameter to connect to the oracle instance and if that instance is on some other machine then we use TNS to make the remote connection, its as same as making a connection to the database using sqlplus where RMAN/SQLPLUS is a client program and a corresponding server process get spawned at the server end. After that we allocate channels which are the actual streams where data flows and maintained by the server process and if you kill the client program the corresponding server process will also die, it doesn't matter whether that client is RMAN or sqlplus and you know what it means.

InDesign CC fails to remove the pages from the catalog that I have prepared! [was: HELP!!!!]

InDesign CC fails to remove the pages from the catalog that I have prepared!
It stops the program suits the times and I have to make a forced exit!
This puts a very important issue!
We seek the solution in the short term.

Just done: the application crashes trying to export IDML!!!
This is not a good sign. Try moving the pages to another document using the Pages panel menu.
But you should also try copying all the items on one page and pasting them into another document.
Then when you've got a few pages in the new document, try moving or deleting them. Or try exporting as IDML.
Also, build a completely new sample document (doesn't have to be all the information) from scratch and try deleting/moving those pages.
This will help us see if it's just one document or all.

Connecting to the Oracle8i database from the browser

Can any one please tell me the architecture requirements and setup for connecting to the orcle 8i database from the browser. I am dummy in internet programming but I would like to learn it.
We currently have "Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production" installed on HP-UX B.11.00 server with "JServer Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production"
Basically I want to create a simple ADD/MODIFY/DELETE/VIEW screen in the browser,
connecting to the oracle 8i database, select data and display it on the browser.
In order to achieve this, what should I install in the Oracle database or what should I check in the database to see if that is installed already.
Currently it has the Java pool created, clasess installed already and also the XML
packages installed already. (i.e XMLGEN, XMLPARSER, XML....)
what are the other O/S level set up is necessary. I currently have "Microsoft Internet Explorer" 4.72 version.
Thanks in advance.

hi ,
well you can do it by using PL/SQL web tool kit packages.
HTP package,OWA_ packages...
Mostly these are there with in 8.1.7.
Check by logging into SYS user
select * from all_objects where object_name like 'OWA%'
No need of wasting intially ur time in XML or any thing.
So see the package body and nowing that u can write your own procedure using those packages.
and deploye it in jserver.
we have done and it's working
all the very best

Management Pack for Server 2008 OS Monitoring version 6.0.7296 cannot be installed or downloaded from the catalog

In our newly installed Operations Manager I'm trying to install the MP's for monitoring Windows Server 2008 OS through the catalog option. Every attempt (including downloading it through the OpsMgr console) fails with the following error:
Windows Server 2008 Operating System (Monitoring) did not pass the security verification.
The management pack cannot be downloaded and the temporary file has been deleted.
Could not load management pack [ID=Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.Monitoring, Keytoken=31bf3856ad364e35, Version=6.0.7296].
This includes the required packs: "Windows Server Operating System Library v6.0.7296" and "Windows Server 2008 Operating System (Discovery) v6.0.7296".
The only option I found was downloading it directly from the website http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9296 but I'm a bit anxious if it can't be downloaded from the catalog. Is this pack revoked? Or could there be something wrong
in our environment that prevents us from downloading it from the catalog?

I have the exact same issue - and when I select to download from the catalog, I get an error that the security certificate cannot be verified. I checked it, and it is valid till 2016, so I selected continue and then it works normally. however I do get the
same list of errors.
The normal "manual" download is available, and if it was pulled by MS, they would block the download button there too ?
I downloaded the MP manually and installed it without any issues. same for the sharepoint 2010 MP 14.0.7135.5000 mp. installing via the catalog failed while the manual download was available and works OK.
(and the weird thing is - I downloaded / installed a few other updates via the catalog fine....)

Problem to copy database from the hot backup

Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0
SunOS 5.8
Hi all,
I wrote the UNIX script to copy the production Oracle 9i database from the hot backup to the Oracle 9i development database. I already did it manually without any problems using Metalink document Note:18070.1
The script stops after the command
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile ,
because I have to apply all archived logs manually.
How is it possible to get rid of this problem and automatically apply archived logs?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Alex
P.S. We are not authorized to use RMAN.

P.S. We are not authorized to use RMAN. We dont get your point?
Who stops you using RMAN?
How did you take the hot backup then?
There are couple of good notes on metalink, and below is one of them,

i'm using oracle 8i.1.7.3 with win server 2003
i want to know how can i do a RMAN backup of my database (sever machine A) from the network.
i'd like to save the backup in another machine (the same LAN, the same OS ).
to do that i've mapped a logical device in my comptur (z):
when i run rman command i got this error:

Upload image to directory and data to database from the same form

Hello all
I'm playing at building a shopping cart (never done one
before) from a tutorial by Gordon Knapp at www.webthang.com.
I have created the site and it works perfectly. Now I want to
extend it.
There is a form that allows the user to add data to the
database. I would also like to be able to upload an image to a
directory on the server and add the data to the database at the
same time from the same form. It would be good if the input field
"<input name="product_picture" type="text" id="product_picture"
tabindex="6" size="50" />" could be populated automatically by
the filename of the image being uploaded, but this isn't a
neccessity.
I have looked at various ASP Upload packages and I can upload
an image alone but none of them make it clear how to upload the
image and add data to the database at the same time.
As this is a private project I need any suggestions to by
free.
The tutorial shows how to create the site in Ultra Dev but
worked perfectly well in DW. The page concerned looks like this. It
is named 'admin_add.asp':

There is idea how can resolve this problem

For all how have similar problem.
Decision instead of these ways

<%@ taglib prefix="sql" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql" %>
it is necessary to indicate these

Partitioning the database from the most recent to the last partitioned

Hi everyone
We have a huge database which is partitioned based on datetime column and for each month. The last partition that we have on it was for 12/1/2013. And since then we have accumulated data with millions of rows already till 3/1/2015.
We want to continue to add partitions for the next two years to it now.
Since splitting the last partition from 12/1/2013 to 1/1/2014 is pretty painful and then to split 1/1/2014 to 2/1/2014, We were thinking if there is a way to split from the back. Like add a partition for 2/1/2015 so that data for Feb only
goes there and the 1/1/2015 and then making our way back to 1/1/2014.
So far I have a script for going from 12/1/2013 to 1/1/2014 and the 1/1/2014 to 2/1/2014. Something like this
ALTER
PARTITION SCHEME MonthlyPartitionScheme
NEXT
USED [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER
PARTITION
FUNCTION PartitionByMonth()
SPLIT
RANGE
('1/1/2014')
Go
ALTER
PARTITION SCHEME MonthlyPartitionScheme
NEXT
USED [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER
PARTITION
FUNCTION PartitionByMonth()
SPLIT
RANGE
('2/1/2014')
Go
How can I change to make it work backwards from 2/1/2015 to 1/1/2015 and then 1/1/2015 to 12/1/2014 and so on. I am looking at more resources online, any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks much
-Sarah

yes, i also think merge partition maybe can help you solve problem, you want to move some data to a new partition, so i also suggest you to use this one way, because splitting partition is time-consuming. Once i read one article, which can do this task,

how to merge partitions. It seems some partition software can do this, some reviews like: http://dottech.org/95676/windows-best-free-partition-and-disk-manager-review among them, i used aomei partition assistant, its server version is supported
in server OS, maybe it is useful for you.You also can use another partition manager, merge partitions instead of splitting partition.
