Using EXPORT & USERID (no security?)

I am running a nightly EXPORT of a schema using a PARFILE and it works fine. But, within the PARFILE I have something like this:
owner=MyOwnerID
userid=MyOwnerID/password_is_here
Bottom line: the password can be seen by anyone.
How can I rewrite my EXPORT script or process so that the PASSWORD is NOT visible by anyone?
...thanks

I created the OPS$oracle_id locally to the Windows Server and placed it into the Server's Local Administrators Group & the ora_dba group. Then within SQLPLUS, I created OPS$oracle_id "externally" and gave it GRANT full export database. I place OPS$oracle_id in the PARFILE (userid), without it's password. I execute the CRON job that starts the EXPORT job and it stops. It's still looking for the OPS$oracle_id PASSWORD?
what am I doing wrong?
or does this NOT work via CRONTAB jobs?

Exporting Planning forms security using exportsecurity.cmd

Is there a way to export only the planning forms security info using exportsecurity.cmd ? I am using Planning 9.3.1.2.
I can export dimension level security, group level and user level. I am not able to figure out a way to export only the form security.
Any suggestions?

If I remember correctly you can import security on forms but it doesn't seem to export it (my mind may be playing tricks and I could be wrong), from 11 I know you can definitely import and export permissions on forms.
If it is not possible you can always run a query against the planning application relational repository for example
select formname.object_name as "Formname", username.object_name as "Username/Group",
case acc.access_mode
when 1 then 'Read'
when 3 then 'Write'
when -1 then 'None'
end as "Access"
from
hsp_access_control acc, hsp_form form, hsp_object formname, hsp_object username
where acc.object_id = form.form_id
and formname.object_id = form.form_id
and acc.user_id = username.object_id

Using export/import to migrate data from 8i to 9i

We are trying to migrate all data from 8i database to 9i database. We plan to migrate the data using export/import utility so that we can have the current 8i database intact. And also the 8i and 9i database will reside on the same machine. Our 8i database size is around 300GB.
We plan to follow below steps :
Export data from 8i
Install 9i
Create tablespaces
Create schema and tables
create user (user used for exporting data)
Import data in 9i
Please let me know if below par file is correct for the export :
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=y
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB
FULL=y
GRANTS=y
INDEXES=y
LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y
STATISTICS=ESTIMATE
TRIGGERS=y
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
Thanks,
Vinod Bhansali

I recommend you to change some parameters and remove
others:
BUFFER=560000
COMPRESS=y -- This will increase better storage
structure ( It is good )
CONSISTENT=y
CONSTRAINTS=y
DIRECT=n -- if you set that parameter in yes you
can have problems with some objects
FEEDBACK=1000
FILE=dat1.dmp, dat2.dmp, dat3.dmp (more filenames here)
FILESIZE=2048GB
FULL=y
GRANTS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
INDEXES=y
LOG=export.log
OBJECT_CONSISTENT=y -- ( start the database in restrict
mode and do not set this param )
PARFILE=exp.par
ROWS=y
STATISTICS=ESTIMATE -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TRIGGERS=y -- this value is the default ( It is
not necesary )
TTS_FULL_CHECK=TRUE
you can see what parameters are not needed if you apply
this command:
[oracle@ozawa oracle]$ exp help=y

Cloning Oracle 8 db using export

Hi,
I'm going to clone a database from export dump file. I haven't tried this yet. I found the instructions from link http://oradbapro.blogspot.com/2009/04/clone-using-export-dump.html. I 'm not sure how accurate it is.
So my question is: are the steps outlined in the link accurate?

Imp username/password file=’D:\fullbkup.dmp’ log=’D:\imp.log’ full=y show=yThis will just create the logfile with relevant SQL's and it doesn't import into any database.
type imp help=y for more options and their descriptions.
Keyword Description (Default)       Keyword      Description (Default)
USERID   username/password           FULL         import entire file (N)
BUFFER   size of data buffer         FROMUSER     list of owner usernames
FILE     input files (EXPDAT.DMP)    TOUSER       list of usernames
SHOW     just list file contents (N) TABLES       list of table names
IGNORE   ignore create errors (N)    RECORDLENGTH length of IO record
GRANTS   import grants (Y)           INCTYPE      incremental import type

STREAMS_CONFIGURATION import streams general metadata (Y)
STREAMS_INSTANTIATION import streams instantiation metadata (N)
VOLSIZE                number of bytes in file on each volume of a file on tape
Second question is which account should I use to run the imp to create logfile? I am just in step 2.In order to execute the imp you should have IMP_FULL_DATABASE role assigned to it.

Just got a new IPOD Touch and it wont connect to our Wifi home network with a Belken N Router. Our router uses WEP 64 bit security, but had a "blank" password field, which the IPOD did not like. Changing to a 6 char numeric PW didnt help either.

OS is whatever OS ships with current IPOD Touch
I cannot understand why the APPLE engineers have designed this product so that it has SO MANY WIFI problems. This is supposed to be an easy-to-use product. We've had no problems connecting our new laptop, our ROKU box, etc, but it seems impossible to get the IPOD touch to work. NOTHING LIKE SPENDING XMAS MORNING DOING APPLE TECH SUPPORT TROUBLESHOOTING TO LEAVE YOU IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!! Argh!
In fact, the only way we have been able to get this expensive brand new IPOD to work on our home network is to DISABLE SECURITY in the router settings. THIS IS ANYTHING BUT A GOOD IDEA.
DON"T KNOW WHY BUT MANY OTHER USERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM SO APPLE ENGINEERING NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM SO THAT NEW USERS CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET WITHOUT HAVING TO BE TRAINED ROUTER ENGINEERS TO DO IT!!!!
Ok, sorry for the rant, but surely those of you who are experiencing this share my frustration. This is not why I bought an APPLE product.
IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT APPLE WILL NOT ALLOW A WIFI PASSWORD with more than one identical alphanumeric character? Any ideas? We also tried eliminating the 40 MHZ setting under Bandwidth settings in the router settings for our router, but it made no difference. The router has the latest firmware, too. Running out of ideas, and am ready to box this unit up and send it back!

Thanks, Bob! You are correct. And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE). One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind. Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers. Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

Can I use parted magic to secure erase Apple SSD?

Recently, I have bought Apple SSD128GB (Toshiba HG3 serie) to upgrade my MBP 15" early 2011. It's a second hand drive of my friend so I want to do secure erase by using Parted Magic for improving the performance as factory reset. I have heard about Parted Magic that it will do secure erase by sending ATA command to drive's controller (If I'm not wrong) but some people mentioned OS X Lion has Trim support that needs not to do secure erase. Now I don't know which ones is correct answer and can I use Parted Magic to secure erase this drive. Please give me your ideas.

I don't know, but I doubt it can be done using Disk Utility. I suggest you consult the user manual for it or see if there is a Reset option in the onscreen menues. If you don't have a manual, then you will find one at http://support.apple.com/manuals.

RDL reports(2008).File name after using Export to Excel is not comming properly in mozilla firefox.

I am using Export to Excel functionality in rdl report.
File name should be "Profitabilty By Buyer". It is working as expected in IE and chrome.
But in mozilla firefox the file name appears as "Profitabilty".
So the issue is it doesnt consider anything after space and user requirement is such that I cant put underscore("_") also instead of space.
Kindly suggest the proper solution.

Hi Mukesh,
Reporting Services, we use a Web browser to view the report that deploy to Report Service. However, not all report functionally is supported by all browsers. Such as, the print button is not supported in Mozilla Firefox. It works only in Internet Explorer
due to it uses ActiveX for the print button.
I have tested it on my local environment, (SQL Server Reporting Services 2008, Firefox 28.0), we cannot reproduce this issue. So the issue can be the custom setting of your browser. Since SSRS reports are not about targeting NON-IE browsers, so in your scenario,
we recommend you use IE to view report on Report Manager.
And you said that you cannot put underscore ("_") also instead of space. However we can do this which you can see on the screenshot below.

Offline Instantiation of a Materialized View Site Using Export/Import

Has anyone had any success performing offline instantiation of a materialized view site using export/import in Oracle9?

This is what I wanted to ask in the forum. I want to use datapump for the initial instantiation because I believe that indexes (the actual indextables, not just the definition) are also replicated using datapump.
So, is it possible to do the instantiation using datapump?

You may want to try using the error lookup tool available here, http://otn.oracle.com/pls/tahiti/tahiti.homepage?remark=tahiti You may be able to find the answer even though the error lookup tools is for 8.1.7 version. Otherwise, you can search the db discussion forums to see if this issue has been discussed already.

Using EFI password "full" security isn't working

Hi,
I'm trying to use the EFI Password Utility to prohibit any attempt to boot my MacBook Pro without the correct password. I used the utility available on the MacBook Pro's supplied install DVD, and so far have successfully prevented the use of any keystrokes on boot without the correct password (ie. "command" mode). However, I am unable to set the EFI to prohibit any attempt to boot.
Apple documents in its, "Mac OS X: Security Configuration - For Mac OS X Version 10.6 Snow Leopard" PDF manual that,
You can also configure EFI from the command line by using the nvram tool. […]
You can set the security mode to one of the following values:
     Full: This value requires a password to start up or restart your computer. It also requires a password to make changes to EFI.
For example, to set the security-mode to full you would use the following command:
     $ sudo nvram security-mode=full
I applied this setting, but it doesn't appear to be working. The redacted output of "nvram -x -p" is as follows:

          <string>full</string>
</dict>
</plist>
What makes it confusing is that Apple specifies later on the same page (56) that the the term passed to the "security-mode" option should be encased in quotes:
# Secure startup by setting security-mode. Replace $mode-value with # "command" or "full."
     sudo nvram security-mode="$mode-value"
So, assuming that I may have used the wrong version of the command, and thereby not applied the setting correctly, I deleted the "security-mode" key using:
sudo nvram -d security-mode
I then re-applied the setting using:
sudo nvram security-mode=full
because I was confident that, initially, I had used the version with quotes. However, it's made no difference - booting the machine does not require entry of an EFI password.
Oddly, the EFI still prevents the use of keystrokes (ie. "command" mode), so it's definitely functional; I just can't tell it to use "full" mode. Also, I note that "security-mode" is the only key to have a "string" child not a "data" child - is this indicative of a problem?
Any advice?

I've got the same problem as OP but I'm not concerning myself with the physical security of my device--an entirely separate topic altogether.
Essentially, I know that with physical access to a Mac box it's possible to enter single user mode and change the password. I also know there is a way to prevent that ability by changing the default login credentials I just don't remember the phrase of what I'm looking for. I know that I have a pdf on hardening snow leopard which probably has information on how to restrict password changes when in single user mode, but I can't find it.
Here's some stuff that should at least get you started in the right direction:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
http://lists.apple.com/archives/fed-talk/2011/Feb/msg00022.html
Definitely read:
http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/factsheets/macosx_10_6_hardeningtips.pdf
Depending how much time you want to spend on this, there's also a book by Charlie Miller called "Mac Hackers Handbook" that's worth the read--although I have yet to do completely so myself. I did get to see his talk at DefCon 2011 and it was pretty amazing- he developed a technique to essentially make a Mac laptop battery explode from a remote location-- although he never has actually done it for fear of...you know...actually destroying his computer. lol. The next time you hear a MacTard bragging about how OSX is a secure platform, be sure to bring that up. Also distinguish between viruses and malware in general the next time you talk to a genius about mac security- we recently discovered a rootkit on one of the Macs on our network.
Back to the topic--If you're going to go through the effort of securing one aspect of your box, you mind as well keep going with it if you have legitimate reasons to worry about unauthorized access.
Another awesome resource is the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
https://www.eff.org
https://ssd.eff.org/risk
They have guides about nearly everything concerning online anonymity and/or security and they're really good about keeping it 'human readable' - ie understandable to the average user. I'll try to find that pdf and upload it if I do. Those other resources should point you in the right direction- if not explicitly answer your question. Let me know if you find anything too . Help me help you.

FTP process flow not using registered userid

Hi,
I posted the following last week, to the back of a thread that Igor was answering to, but haven't seen any replies yet. Can some body answer the question regarding the userid used on the target location when an FTP process flow is ran please?
Thanks again.
==================
Igor,
I followed the examples given in this thread, and checked the case study in the PDF, but am still not able to 'get' a file using FTP to the desired location.
I have an FTP work flow configured with the Path Settings pointing to: REMOTE LOCATION is a w2k server, WORKING LOCATION is on Unix. These locations are registered in the Deployment Mgr properly.
I am able to PUT a file to win2k from Unix, but not GET.
This is caused by the fact that, during FTP WF execution, it is ran as Unix user 'oracle', whom do not have write access to the Root Path registered for the WORKING LOCATION. (I can do a get to /tmp).
Also, I am getting these messages in the execution log, even if the FTP was successful:
WARNING: Log file truncated - see RAB for further information.
ftp: ioctl I_PUSH ttcompat: No such device or address
ftp: ioctl(TIOCGETP): No such device or address
All of these problems indicate that the run time Unix user, 'oracle', doesn't have sufficient rights to various directories. Is it possible to force OWB use the userid that was registered for the WORKING LOCATION?
Thanks.

Hi,
Please follow the below steps.
1. Kill the OWF process using the Oracle Workflow Monitor.
- On the OWF Monitor home page, use "Find Process" to find the process
- In the "Process List" page, click on the Process Name
- Click on the "View Diagram" button
- Click on the "Abort Process" button
In the process list, the process should have a white-black flag.
2. Connect as the Workflow schema owner and execute the following commands in order to purge the item type.
- WF_PURGE.TOTAL package : deletes obsolete runtime data which includes: Items, Item activity statuses, Notifications, Expired activity versions.
SQL> execute wf_purge.total
- WFRMITT.sql script : deletes all definitions for an Item.
SQL> @< database_oracle_home> wf\admin\sql\WFRMITT.sql
3. Deploy the Workflow Process again from the OWB Deployment Manager.
Thanks,
Leo.

How can we reuse the JAZN mechanism within BI Publisher?
Thanks in advance,

Then you need to get an AT&T sim card to first activate the phone(the phone should have come with an AT&T sim installed)...you can borrow one to do this, but you can't do anything with any iPhone until it is first activated.
