URGENT: FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS changed in 10gR2

Hi,
This is a major change in Oracle Security and it has not been documented.
Oracle Version 10.1 and below : Default profile failed_login_attempts unlimited
Oracle Version 10.2 : Default profile failed_login_attempts 10
It MUST be documented. it is a very important change
at least in :
- part B14233-02 Database Readme Section 7 security
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/readmes.102/b14233/toc.htm#CHDCHFGG
- part B14238-01 Database Upgrade Guide - Compatibility and Interoperability
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/compat.htm#CHDFHCHD
- part B14266-01 Database Security Guide - Listing All Profiles and Assigned Limits (must be corrected to 10)
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14266/admusers.htm#i1009127
Please note that this is a major change in database security, some tools, for example OEM, will lock accounts quickly when you change password on the database, as soon as the original password as been tried ten times. I urge you to document this asap to avoid future issues.
Thanks you very much for prompt answer

Urgent: Datatype change, cannot refresh business area

First time I've pulled the Urgent thing but I have a problem. We had a datatype change for an ID field and I cannot refresh the associated business area because it get the following error message after it analyses the differences. There are several areas where this field is referenced, but it is only showing me one. When I try to refresh I get the following:
"This item is used elsewhere, its datatype cannot be changed".
The item is used in several joins within this business area. If they are all changed when the business area refreshes, things should work fine. Any thoughts?

So in the database you changed the datatype for this ID field. This ID field I assume is a foreign key in other database tables. Where those tables updated also to the new datatype?

Urgent Please : Change back in Extract structure

Hi All,
I am working on enhancing an extract structure of Time and labour of 0hr_pt_2 . I had successfully added 2 fields now but afterwords when I try to delete those fields or change that structure it does not allow me to add new fields or delete old those fields which I created.
I am wondering why it is happening ? Has anyone came across such situation if yes , please feel free to share your experience.
How can i delete them ? Any helpful reply will be appritiated and rewarded with points.
Thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
John

One way - Delete the data source via RSA6 and activate back via RSA5; this way you will back to the standard structure.
Thanks.

URGENT : Need changes to Current design

Hi
I am having an issue in the current design which should be changed accordingly.
The objective is to make the current design capable of taking loads from multiple files for different Ps data.
Current design does not have this capability. The constraint with current design is all the 3 ps data must be present in one file. It cannot be distributed over several files (i.e one file containing data for P1, P2. another file for P3 and so on).
The system must be flexible to allow all the data to loaded in one go, or for the file to loaded in different segments (e.g. loading 1of the 3Ps, and then loading the remaining 2 Ps at a later date). This will allow us to cater for data coming from different sources working to a different timetable, but still having the ability to load the data and making this available for reporting.
The new development will require that transfer structure ,transfer rules and update rules be set up for each P for loading from flat file data source
The structure of the pesent design is ODS->ODS->Infocube.
Could any one please give me an idea how to make the issue to be sloved.
Thanks In Advance.
Regards
KKumar

Hi,
Can anyone suggest me an idea.

Urgent! Change Descriptive FlexField Prompt

Hi!
I need to hide & change prompt for fields that are retrieved from Descriptive FlexField. Personalization need to be done for one responsibility.
Hiding can be done easly with Segment List.
Is there any way how I can change prompt for one responsibility.
BR
Hugo

Hugo,
To my understanding you should not be able to control the Text for various segments without changing the Flexfield definition. And if you do that it gets affected for all responsibilities.
As a suggestion you can use a Context specific to a responsibility and may be use the same combination of segments for the context. Finally data gets stored in same columns, but since u define the context separately you should be able to provide different name.
Hope that gives you clues to work on.

Sumit

Urgent & Important: Changing Host Name..Help!

Hello,
At the time of installing BPEL , the hostname of my pc was 01hw060433. Now this has changed to 01hw060526.
This creates error while testing my newly deployed BPEL process as it still refers to the old name.
This is the error message:
Failed to read wsdl file at: "http://01hw060433:8888/orabpel/default/syncHelloWorld/v2009_01_30__53840/syncHelloWorld?wsdl", caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException. : 01hw060433
Can you please let me know where this can be changed so that the revised host name is considered?
Regards,
Gayatri

Login to BPEL admin and go to the configuration. I forget which fileds to chnage but there are three. Fairly easy to tell which ones as it has the olds host name.
If using 10.1.3.4 there is no BPELadmin the configuration screen is in the BPELConsole left hand tab.
You may also need to change configuration on in em. To do this login from the machine where SOA Installed. but use the URL http://localhost:8888/em. There should be a link down the bottom, could be in the same link as the ports?
If that fails edit the httpd.conf and change any reference to the old environment.
$SOA_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf

Urgent! Changing hostname for J2EE installation

Hello,
I'm getting confused! I'm trying to change the hostname for a j2ee engine installation (WebAS 6.40)!
WebAS and DB are on the same server. I did everthing from the note 757692!!!
But when I change in the registry the key SAPLOCALHOST to the new servername and then start the j2ee engine the key is changed back to the old hostname!! and the engine is not starting!
I'm using windows 2003 with WebAS 6.40 SP14 and MS Sql as database.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Olaf

Has this question ever been answered? I tried everything in the note as well, still can't get it to work.
As a workaround i'm now installing the J2EE Engine on another server, then gonna do a java system copy via export/import. but i'd like to get the note to work as well.

Urgent Timezone change: Venezuela - Patch needed or info how to change it.

Greetings,
The Venezuelan government decided to change the Timezone of Venezuela (America/Caracas) from GMT -4 to GMT -4:30 by September 24th 2007.
We need to change the timezone of a Solaris 10 server, of course, we thought about just changing time, but, some applications including the JVM if I'm not mistaken uses several functions to get the time/date, we, of course are running Java enabled applications (J2EE) that rely heavily on time and date.
Any suggestions how we can fix this?.
Regards,
Damian

The system timezone is one thing. The source for your timezone is in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src/southamerica. Most of the time you can grab the updated 'tzdata' olson files from the internet, or you can just edit that file. Either way, you'll want to compile the source into timezone files with 'zic'.
However, it looks like reports of the Venezuela changes have been inconsistent about the effective date. Even recently this notice was posted <http://www.gobiernoenlinea.gob.ve/noticias-view/ver_detalles.pag?idNoticia=71390> which mentions Jan 1 as the date. So until this is resolved, I don't think the official database will have the entry. You might as well just edit it yourself.
None of the above affects Java. See this page for information on Java updates:
http://java.sun.com/javase/timezones/
The current database (tzdata2007g) does not have any updates for Venezuela. You'll need to update it yourself or wait for another version to be published.

Thanks for nothing you sad individual, if you ar not
going to offer anything constructive then please
keep your opinons to yourself, if you must know I
stuck for time and trying my best to translate this to
meet a deadline this Friday, you pompous idiot! Requesting that you refrain from cross-posting isn't pompous and doesn't identify the person who
makes the request as an idiot. As a matter of fact, he was pointing out that your question was
answered in the other posting that you made.
Rather than responding in the manner in which you did, you should have thanked him for his help!

Urgent-About Changes made in Development to QAT

Hi,
i have changed 5 lines of code of existing report and saved it in DR1(Development) with request no and then moved it to QAT.
For that i have sent mail to basis guy. And i have get confirmation from basis guy that it is moved to QAT. But until now the changes i have made are not reflected in QAT. Can any body help about this problem imm.
Syed.
voice: +91-9986861730.

Hi,
What you can do is
Login to QAT and then goto transaction SE09, there check if your transport has arrived.
You can also check in DR1, going to SE09 if the transport has reached the system in the LOG.
There you will see if it has reached QAT, if it has reached then check in the request object list of the object you have modifed is there or not.

URGENT ! Changing HD between Macbooks

Hello, I've already talked with some people in this forum but I couldn't solve my problem yet.
I have a Macbook White and I wanted to install the 320Gb HD removed from my new macbook PRO. When installing the OS, I receive a message saying that I can't install a fresh copy of the OS, only a backup, which I don't have. I've already formatted to zero following suggestions from the forum, but even this way the system do not let me install it.
What else could I do in this case ? I've tried both OS installation discs, the White and the Pro and both happenend the same thing

Unfortunately, that was bad advice. You wasted your time on that. Some of the other advice could have been faulty too.
All you need to do is boot from the install disk, select your language, then immediately run Disk Utility from the Tools menu. Repartition the disk to have one partition. Click the Options button and make sure it uses the GUID partition setting. That is all I have ever done and it has always worked.
If you still have problems, reply with the exact text of whatever error message you receive.
