Waiting for a lock to become free

Hi,
Is there an option in oracle, with which a transaction can wait for some time (few milliseconds) so that the transaction can continue if the resource(table/row) becomes free so that the transaction won't fail. In sybase ASA there's an option BLOCKING_TIMEOUT. Is there something parallel in oracle. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Krishna

We have since 10g the "FOR UPDATE WAIT n" (n unit seconds) clause for DML (transactions):
SQL> select * from customers where cust_id=4711 for update wait 1;would wait one second, if another session blocks the row with id 4711;

Error 25090 - Sql Server Compact timed out waiting for a lock

Hello,
I am performing a delete statement followed by an insert statement on the same table inside a transaction using the following method. Each time this method is called it only ever contains these two statements. Can you help me understand
why I am sporadically getting the 25090 - waiting for lock error?
protected bool ExecuteSql(string connectionString, List<string> statements)
var sqlCeConnection = new SqlCeConnection(connectionString);
sqlCeConnection.Open();
SqlCeTransaction transaction = sqlCeConnection.BeginTransaction();
try
using (sqlCeConnection)
foreach (string statement in statements)
using (SqlCeCommand cmd = sqlCeConnection.CreateCommand())
cmd.Transaction = transaction;
cmd.CommandText = statement;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
transaction.Commit();
catch (SqlCeException sqlCeException)
var buffer = new StringBuilder();
foreach (SqlCeError error in sqlCeException.Errors)
buffer.AppendFormat("Native Error : {0}\t{1}{2}", error.NativeError, error.Message,
Environment.NewLine);
Log.Error(buffer.ToString());
return false;
catch (Exception ex)
transaction.Rollback();
return false;

Question on why LockMode.READ_UNCOMMITTED is waiting on read locks

Running je-5.0.103
We are running some load tests with multiple threads accessing our BDB. When we take a thread dump in the middle of the test we have noticed several of the threads waiting on a ReadLock even though we are using LockMode.READ_UNCOMMITTED.
The javadoc for LockMode states:
"With one exception, a record lock is always acquired when a record is read or written, and a cursor will always hold the lock as long as it is
positioned on the record. The exception is when {@link #READ_UNCOMMITTED} is specified, which allows a record to be read without any locking."
Our load test is performing only reads and there should be no writes happening at all.
So the question is why are still acquiring read locks? Is there some other configuration setting that we have that would override this or is the lock that we see in the thread dump a different lock?
Here is a sample thread waiting for a lock.

The call to IN.latchShared you're seeing is not a record lock, it's an internal latch on a Btree node. Latching is not related to the lock mode. This latch should be held for a short time, but in cases where many threads access the same records (or a very small set of records), you will see waiting on latches. You can't disable latching -- thread safety requires it.

Satellite L300-29U hangs at waiting for ODD to become ready

I sell Toshiba's.
I always make recovery dics for my customers. I do it on Philips DVD's.
Now I have tried Windows 7 on one positively and tried to recover to vista again before selling the laptop.
The problem is that when I try to recover, the system hangs at "waiting for ODD to become ready "
I tried several things,
-formatting the harddisk
-removing the partition
-windows vista oem CD (installs fine, so does 7) etc etc.
I have another laptop in stock so I used the recovery discs of that one, result is that it hangs at the same point.
Now I tried to restore the other laptop (same model) and there the recovery dvd hangs at the same point.
I think there is an programming error in the recovery dvd program.

Not a chance.
Toshiba is sending out an update for the imaging program because they found out it did not work themselves.
Now just wait for the helpdesk to send out free copies for the people who burnt themselves faulty rescue dvd's?

Hp LaserJet P3015 printer "waiting for printer to become available" message

Hello All,
I have searched through many message boards about this issue (some steaming back to as far as 2009) and I have yet to find a solution that has worked for me.
Background of situation:
In my office we have a dozen iMacs and Networked hp LaserJet P3015 printers. Most work perfectly fine with out issue. We are currently running 10.8.4 OS. There are a few issues that seem to be unique to users or types of iMacs. 1) Three brand new iMacs (the skinny ones that come without the CD drives) where showing a message prompting for the "printer operator group". I have that setting turned off but reguardless I added the user accounts to the "printer operator group" as well as the "printer admin group". After I did that the users started to recieve the message "waiting for printer to become avaible". When this message appears it never printers (I left it for a 20 minute period to no avail). I have tried a whole host of fixes with short term success but the issue keeps reoccuring. Here is a list of fixes I have tried:
What I have tried
1) I plugged the iMac directly into the printer via USB cable to install the drivers locally
2) I added the user to the printer operator group and the printer admin group
3) I checked all settings on both the printer and computer
4) I have removed and re-added the printer several ways (from the network and directly via UBS cable)
5) I checked the Ethernet connection to the printer (all are fine) (also eliminated the need for it by directly plugging her in via USB cable)
6) I have "power" shut down the printer
7) I restarted the printer settings on the network to eliminate any lingering issues
8) Made sure the software is up to date (which according to some message boards is what the problem is)
9) I have replaced both the actual Computer and Printer (with another brand new iMac), while additionally creating a new user account to eliminate hardware and faulty user settings as the culprit, as well as plugged the printer directly into the computer and removed it from the network.
10) I prayed to the IT gods
Other Notes:
I did see a solution from a message board that said to delete all "hp_" files in system/library/extensions and then directly plug the printer into the computer to install the drivers that way (which he said worked) but the guys also said that if he ran software update then the issue would re-occur. This seems to be counter productive as I like to keep all software up to date
What I have noticed:
- The issue seems to affect the newer iMacs in my office more then the older machines despite everyone running the same OS version
Thank you all so much in adavanced for your time reading my post. The issue has been extremely frustrating for both me and the end users and I appreaciate any help that anyone can provide (even if its just pointing me in the direction of another message board)
- Chris

You have not mentioned it but based on some of the things that you have said, I would assume that the Mac's are bound to a domain. So, for one of these Mac's, if you logged on locally and then created a print queue to the network printer, do you get the same message?

"waiting for modem to become available"

I am utilizing Airport Express to fax from Brother MFC-490CW and MacBook Pro and receiving error message "waiting for modem to become available". Many tasks state completed but then upon looking into it, they haven't sent for the same reason. I have tried everything and spent countless hours. PLEASE HELP!!!

Wow, I was gonna suggest buying an Apple USB modem/fax, but the thing has gone the way of the dodo bird.
Better take good care of mine cause these are historic devices....

Once I upgraded to ML, I'm now finding that my Seagate Free Agent external hard drive is no longer being backed up by Time machine. Do I have to wait for Seagate to update their drivers for this hard drive?

Once I upgraded to ML, I'm now finding that my Seagate Free Agent external hard drive is no longer being backed up by Time machine. Do I have to wait for Seagate to update their drivers for this hard drive?

I tried your suggestion, and it's been giving me the message "Preparing for Backup" for the past 8 hours. Does this mean TM is backing up my hard drive? I'll give it a few more hours, but if nothing else happens, I'm not sure what else to do. I'm not sure if there are any new external hard drives that are compatible with ML yet.

Waiting for printer to become available - OSX 10.8.4

Hi, I foolishly allowed the HP printer updates on my imac running Mountain Lion, 10.8.4. I learned not to do that on Snow Leopard but suffered a lapse resulting in 'waiting for printer to become available' and when it is reset, it only prints every other page.
In Snow Leopard I could get rid of it by going into system - library and deleting HP; the status quo was restored. I cannot seem to do that in Mountain Lion and its really a pain!
I've tried deleting and reloading the printer to no avail. It's an HP 2550.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I don't think I did anything other than plugged the printer into the USB and more or less let it do its own thing, i.e. I selected it off the list and used the driver that was built into Snow Leopard - to be honest I didnt really think about it as it all just happily worked in the Apple fashion.
All was fine for some time until a standard Apple update included HP printer updates, which I installed but then found the issue that the printer would print one job but no more until powered down and back on, when again one job could be done and so on. I found it referred to here and elseweher and it seemed a common problem that was cured by going into Library/extensions and deleting all HP files. I then avoided updating the printers and if ever it did slip through, I could readily get rid of problem.
This is one of the discussions I looked up back then https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2649214?start=0&tstart=0 but there do seem to be plenty of others.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion three or four months ago and didnt need to do anything with printers as it just happily continued to work until a couple of weeks back when I inadvertently let the HP update slip through and found the printer 'waiting to become available' after each print job. I then attempted the method I had used for Snow Leopard but found the system is different.
I have got into the printers folder and deleted the HP files as well as resetting the printers in printer preferences but every time I plug the printer back in it seems to find the updated driver from somewhere! That then appears in the printers folder.
I'm afraid I don't know about the protocol etc., although I'm willing to give anything a try.
Thanks again

Waiting for printer to become available

I'm on OS X 10.8.5, and have a USB printer: HP p4015dn. It used to work fine to print. All of a sudden, it shows "Waiting for printer to become available", forever, and will not print. I can successfully print to networked HP printers, but even though I've rebooted the machine, rebooted the printer several times, this one just won't print anymore. I tried creating a new queue to this printer and it pauses when it tries to connect as though it can't communicate with the printer. I've tried putting the USB cable into a different port. No good. Also, no idea if this is a coincidence or not, my Fax modem stopped working - won't send out faxes anymore. What do I do to debug this?

Yep, did all that (including resetting the printing system). I can still add new Networked printers and print to them fine, but can't print to this one USB printer (but other computers can, if I move the USB cable). I went to the printer console log and I see

"waiting for printer to become available" on laserjet 4650

Since 10.6.5, I can't print to my color laserjet 4650. All I get is a "waiting for printer to become available" message. I've repaired permissions, removed and re-added the printer, I've reset the printing system and plugged the printing straight into the mac book. Nothing has worked.
Any help very gratefully received.

I am experiencing the same issue with my HP 2550L. I can get a single job to print, but any subsequent jobs hold with the "Waiting for printer to become available" status.
The only solution I have found thus far is to shut the printer off and turn it back on prior to sending each job.
This issue JUST arose in 10.6.5 for me.

"Waiting for printer to become available" message

Each time I try to print to my Laserjet 1300, I see a message in the print queue stating, "Waiting for printer to become available." It never processes. I delete the job, try again but the same result. Result is same for short plain text, PDF or .jpg files. However, I can print a test page directly from the Laserjet 1300 printer. Have rebooted computer and restarted printer with no effect. Am able to successfully print to my backup HP Deskjet F4180. Am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.6.6. All software updates have been made. Thoughts?

If you are using Snow Leopard and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall <<<< Scrubber Option
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Finally, reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

I am employed by HP

I have a Laserjet 2550L. When I try to print 2nd time get message "Waiting for printer to become ava

Laserjet 2550L being used with Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3. After turning on, it will print once. When trying to print a second time I get a message "waiting for printer to become available." I have to turn it off and then back on to get it to print again.

Hum. Let's uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this:
1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue
2. Highlight your device on the left pane
3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
5. Click Continue and let it finish
Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates.
Next, let's reset the printing system:
Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Let me know how this works for you.
