Using Sym Links for .dbf, .log, and .ctl files?  Will this work in 10g?

Hello,
We have an old database server we use for testing/development and it's running very low on diskspace on one of the filesystems on the box. At this point in time, adding space is not a simple option for several reasons. However, there are several other data partitions on this server with plenty of space available.
I read a paper published by Sun Microsystems that advocates the use of symbolic links for dbf, ctl, and log files:
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0103/817-1048.pdf
Are there any drawbacks/caveats we need to be aware of, or is this really as simple as just stopping the db, moving a few files to another fs, symlinking their locations, and restarting the db?
Thanks for your input/advice.

I think you should verify this with Oracle Support.

    Hi, I have used PDF export for some years. One file will NOT convert to readable text in Word.  Some headers and maps in this document are converted OK but the body text is garbled. I have tried converting to Docx, Doc and RTF with no success. I disabled OCR and it made no difference. What can I do please?

  • "Only For Distribution in Asia Pacific and Japan."  Will this work on my laptop?

    I purchased a copy of CS6 on eBay, and when I received it I found the label on the top of the box saying "Only For Distribution in Asia Pacific and Japan."
    Will this work on my laptop?  I would like to be sure before removing the shrinkwrap, in case I need to return it.
    Thanks!

  • I have a company BB which is terrible and want to buy a 3GS and use my BB SIM card in the iPhone. Will this work?

    I have a company BB which is terrible and want to buy a 3GS and use my BB SIM card in the iPhone. Will this work?

    Depending on the model of the Blackberry & the carrier.
    if the blackberry didn't have 3G or a 3g sim card (depending on the carrier), then the SIM is probably too old to use and would require a new SIM.
    The data plans on some carriers specify a blackberry data plan and an iPhone data plan, and they are not interchangable, so the carrier would have to switch that.
    Usually since iphones come with a SIM preinstalled, some carriers may tell you the SIM card can't be transferred between an iphone and another device.

  • Appropriate directory for themes, logs and config files

    Hello, I would like to know what would be the appropriate directory to place a application's config directory that contains themes, logs and config files for that application.
    I want that directory to be accessible but since ~/Library is now invisible on Lion, that kinda rules it out for accessibility. The only place left now would be ~/Applications, but I don't think it was intended for that.
    There is also an invisible config file that contains the path to the config directory and that's what the app uses to know where the config directory is located. The current emplacement of that config file is in the home directory, which I think is not in accordance to Apple's guidelines. So where should I place that file?
    What should I do?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the additional info about the Home and Documents directory, that clears a lot of things up. I needed to know that too. Do you know where that documents is located now? http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSy stem/Articles/WhereToPutFiles.html
    Apple prefers you use the system API for these things. Here is one document that explains it.
    So even though I won't use NSDefaults because what I am working on is a cross Platform app that is in C, I will put the config file in ~/Library/Preferences and the config folder in ~/Library/Application Support.
    Almost everything has a C equivalent. You can use CFPreferences instead. I strongly urge you to use one of the system APIs instead of trying to write your own files. For one thing, the user can put their home directory virtually anywhere they want. For another, Lion is rewriting the underlying architecture with the new screen sharing and iCloud. If you use the system APIs, your program will work properly with any new technologies or custom network settings.

  • I've got a fonera + and ipod touch, will this work...

    Hi just to clarifiy, i'm using an ipod touch to connect to bt open zones but it won't accept my request. Does openzone not work with the ipod touch?

    Yes it does, I use mine all over the UK with no problems. Repost but this time be more specific what your problem is, I will keep checking back and once I know what your problem is I will try and help. The main thing is that you are a BT Broadband customer to use the Openzone hotspots or you will have to buy access time and it's not cheap!

    Paulou12 what type of a Creative Cloud Membership do you have?  You can find details on how to update Lightroom using the Creative Cloud Desktop application at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
    Finally if you are in a managed environment then please work with your I.T. department to apply the update.

  • HT5622 My wife and I both have MacBooks and both are associated with my apple ID since I bought them. However, this means that Safari is linked for both her and I as well as our contacts etc. Can I still use mine for apps for her but associate hers with h

    My wife and I both have MacBooks (I have MacBook Pro and she has Air) and both are associated with my apple ID since I bought them. However, this means that Safari is linked for both her and I as well as our contacts etc. Can I still use mine ID for apps for her but associate hers with her own ID that I have yet to make?

    Well with the MS Hotmail/Outlook.com account that is hard. But she should be able to link all of it to the iCloud system using her Apple ID.
    I suggest you do a Google search for "link contacts, Calendars, iMessage with iCloud".
    For some stupid reason MS has limited the syncing/linking of only emails and Notes with the Hotmail/Live Mail/Outlook.com system.
    They have not included any Exchange features for syncing all that info. That is unless you are using Outlook 2013 and that is only for Windows.

  • How to get Log and Output File Names for a concurrent request

    Hi,
    I am submitting a concurrent frm OAF with the following code in AM
    try{
    OADBTransaction tx = getOADBTransaction();
    Connection conn = tx.getJdbcConnection();
    ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(conn);
    Vector parameters = new Vector();
    parameters.addElement("10");
    nRequestID= cr.submitRequest("CIE","DTFEMP","","",false,parameters);
    tx.commit();
    }catch(RequestSubmissionException e)
    How do i get the handle to log and output files for the abvoe concurrent request ?
    One more thing is there a way where we can evaluate the environment variables
    like in the above example once i get a the request id
    logfile = $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/"l"+requestID+".log"
    and
    outputfile=$APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/"o"+requestID+".out"
    is there a way i can get the values of $APPLCSF and $APPLOUT from the os ?
    Thanks
    Tom...
    Thanks
    Tom ...

    You can query the Fnd_Concurrent_Requests table using Request_ID, which has the log & out file directory details.

  • Using different templates for the desktop and phone versions of the same blog

    I have a site which was created in Adobe Muse and is hosted on Business Catalyst.
    I have created both a desktop and a phone versions of the site.
    I  want to know how I can integrate the blogs that I  currently have on the desktop site with the phone version that I just did, using different templates for the desktop and phone versions of the same blog. This is in order to ensure that visitors to the blogs on the website are directed to the templates that render correctly for the devices they are using.
    My current approach has been to create both a desktop and phone versions of the blogs. The problem with this however, is that the dates are different and the comments are separated between the two blog versions!
    I  have also tried enabling mobile templates in BC, but still couldn't find a way to specify the mobile versions of the templates for the same blog?
    To recap my problem, I basically  need a solution where the same blog uses different templates for desktop and mobile (both templates use different navigation headings and menu styles)
    Thanks.

    There can be few reason for this, including page contents links or contents used in phone/tablet version.
    Please provide the site url , also try to publish the site as a trial site in Business Catalyst with all layouts which would help to isolate the issue.
    Thanks,

  • Block size in tt for writing data to transaction log and checkpoint files

    Hello,
    what block size is TimesTen using when its writing data to transaction log and checkpoint files? Does it use some fixed block size during filesystem writes?

    Although in theory logging can write 2 KB blocks in almost all circumstances it will write 4 KB or larger so yes a filesystem with a 4 KB block size is fine for both checkpointing and logging.
