Weblogic datasource - Created "1" resources for pool "DataSource", out of which "1" are available and "0" are unavailable.

I am performing some transactions with java application deployed on weblogic. I faced some issue of getting the transaction response with some delay. I found these below mention messages logged into the managed server logs. 
Following is my datasource settings
Initial Capacity: 2
Maximum Capacity: 100
Capacity Increment: 20
Anyone have idea why these following errors coming.

  • Unable to "Create Portal Resource" for content presenter templates

    Hi All,
    Using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.5, I have created a new WebCenter Portal Application and under webcenter/portalapp folder I created a "contentTemplates" folder and created a fragment page within it.I am trying to create portal resource for this fragment template but I am not seeing the option "Create Portal Resource" when I right clicked the jsff.
    I dont see the option for even for pageTemplates or pages.Am I missing anything?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Can you test pasting this code in your jsff? FYI <dt:contentListTemplateDef var="nodes"> is important when you create a portal resource.

    you can bump into probs only when it comes to sheer amount of data:

    I'm not familiar with 21st cent devices as SmartBoards ... again, it could happen, you have to reduce resolution/fps/bit-rate to avoid clutter&stutter in the video.
    I'm using such encoded files successfully on Playstation3, WD HD TV or flatscreenTVs with integrated usb-connection (via stick), etc

  • I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password.  HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

    I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password.  How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?  Using iOS 10.7.5

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Creating a transformation for delivered datasource 0TCTPRCSVAR_TEXT

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up my delivered technical content for the BI Administrator cockpit  (all the 0TCT... objects).  Everything is working well except for 4 datasources:
    0TCTBWOBJCT_ATTR
    0TCTBWOBJCT_TEXT
    0TCTPRCSVAR_ATTR
    0TCTPRCSVAR_TEXT
    While all other datasources have installed as version 3.x with associated transfer rules, these datasources have installed as version 7.0 with no transformations.
    I tried to create my own transformations, but for 0TCTPRCSVAR_TEXT there is no available field in the delivered data source to map to characteristic 0TCTPRCSTYP which is a compound of 0TCTPRCSVAR. 
    If I can't load the text for this object then in the BI Administrator cockpit all my DTPs, Infopackages etc display the technical name rather than the text description.
    I am running BW 7 patch 20 with BI_CONT 703 patch 13.
    Has anybody else met this?  Can anyone recommend how I can fill the 0TCTPRCSTYP value in a transformation from 0TCTPRCSVAR_TEXT?
    Thanks,
    Sue

    Hi,
    All the above mentioned 4 datasources have 3.x flow shipped as a part of content.
    go to tx: RSDS , enter the datasource name and from datasource tab at the top choose 'restore 3.x datasource'.
    This will now make them contain 3.x dataflows .
    and would therefore be loaded after scheduling them through process chains.

    Jaaps,
    I logged a SR for this issue some months ago and development is looking into this issue.
    It is now a bug :)
    Resolution:
    You have to add a piece of XML to the file ...\DesignWebCenterSpaces\mds\oracle\webcenter\siteresources\scopedMD\s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed\generic-site-resources.xml
    Add this piece:
    <resource contentDir="/oracle/webcenter/siteresources/scopedMD/shared" createdBy="system" createdDate="2011-07-18T11:50:03.521-03:00" description="Quobell Displays multiple content items in a list on the left. A panel on the right displays the details of a selected item." displayName="Quobell List with Details Panel View" guid="gsr8c819325_500e_4c59_b633_8c1a2dab1c5a" iconURI="/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/shared/contentPresenter.png" jspx="/oracle/webcenter/siteresources/scopedMD/s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/contenttemplates/gsr5b5a798c_f811_4a17_bc62_3ae54f1fa86a/quobell-list-with-details-panel-view.jsff" modifiedDate="2012-02-16T12:36:58.26+01:00" seeded="false" usesCustomSecurity="false" version="11.1.1.4.0" visible="TRUE">
    <customAttributes>
    <customAttribute name="template-type" seeded="true" value="list" visible="ALWAYS"/>
    <customAttribute name="content-repository" seeded="true" value="*" visible="ALWAYS"/>
    <customAttribute name="category-id" seeded="true" value="oracle.webcenter.content.templates.default.category" visible="ALWAYS"/>
    <customAttribute name="category-name" seeded="true" value="Default Templates" visible="ALWAYS"/>
    <customAttribute name="category-description" seeded="true" value="Default display templates for multiple content items." visible="ALWAYS"/>
    <customAttribute name="category-is-default" seeded="true" value="true" visible="ALWAYS"/>
    <customAttribute name="view-id" seeded="false" value="quobell.webcenter.content.templates.default.list.details.panel" visible="ALWAYS"/>
    </customAttributes>
    </resource>
    You should put it inside the tag <resourceType name="contentPresenter" resourceBundle="">
    Restart JDev and try again.
    The problem is that there is no resource definition for a multi item template, thus the null-pointer exception.
    Added this tag will fix that.
    Kind regards,
    Rob
    PS: The file might be somewhere else, this is the PS4 location if I'm not mistaken...
    You need to open the file from explorer as it is not accessible from JDev.

  • How to create a report for open sales orde documents which are not invoiced

    Hi Experts this is urgent,
    +pls give the Logic for document flow+
    My requirement is create a report for sales orders which are not invoiced  using the following table.
    VBAK : sales order header
    VBAP : sales order item
    VBFA : sales document flow
    VBUK for processing status
    KOMV for duties value and sales order value
    LIKP : delivery not header
    LIPS :delivery note item
    For information : In the header level the processing Status is indicated in the table VBUK field LFSTK for one sales order number. A,B , C are the possible entries.
    Case A : When a sales order is invoiced we can display information on the header status :
    Overall status : Completed  and display a invoice number in the document flow. When the items of the sales orders are invoiced the process status is the following :  Overall status       Completed            
    Delivery status      Fully delivered      
    Case B : An open sales order not delivered and not invoiced will have overall status : Open on the header and item level and will not have subsequent documents.
    Case C :
    When the items for the sales order are delivered but not invoiced the status will be u201Cfully deliveredu201D
    And the subsequent documents will be delivery notes and good issue if the delivery note is issued.

  • How to create select-options for 3 fields out of 5 by FREE_SELECTIONS_INIT

    Hi Experts,
    I am using the Function Modules FREE_SELECTIONS_INIT and FREE_SELECTIONS_DIALOG to create the select-options dynamically on the selection screen.
    My problem is that I am passing a field list of 10 fields in the FIELDS_TAB of the function.
    Now it creates the select-options for all 10 fields. I want to create select-options for only 5 fields initially and let the user select out of the remaining 5 fields to create the select-options.
    How to achieve this.?
    I tried by passing the 5 fields in FIELDS_NOT_SELECTED table but they get hidden and once hidden I am not able to get them back in my field list.
    Please help me out.
    Useful answers will be suitably rewarded.

  • Creating a bookmark for a query in web - which tables in this context ?

    Hi Experts,
    when I create a bookmark for a query processed in web , a record in tables RSZWVIEW and RSZWBOOKMARK as well  is generated.
    I'm searching for the link between this tables - i.e. where is the connection between BOOKMARKID of RSZWBOOKMARK
    and VIEWID of RSZWVIEW ?
    Thanks in advance
    Joe

    Hi Joe,
    i don't think there is a link.
    Judging by the timestamp for some of my bookmarks the entry in table RSZWVIEW gets created just before the entry in RSZWBOOKMARK.
    However, I do not see a link between the entries other than that they get created during the same activitiy: Creating a bookmark.
    Best,

  • Can not create an object for my c# form dll which has an ActiveX control

    I want to create an object in teststand for my C# form dll which has an ActiveX Control . but the error says ActiveX control can not be instantiated because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment. can someone help to solve the problem?
    Thanks.

    Two options:
    1) put the step in a subsequence and use the sequence call "New thread" option with the advanced setting "Use single-threaded Apartment". Put a wait step immediately after the sequence call to wait for the new thread.
    2) Inside of your dll, using .NET APIs create a new thread initialized as STA and call your code from that. Have the original thread wait for the new thread to finish running your dialog code.
    Hope this helps,
    -Doug

  • What are these and what are they useful for?: and

    I have seen these symbols being used in Java: << and >>, what are they and what do they do?
    Thank you.

    As DrQuincy asks how is this of use over multiplying
    and dividing?In your processor there are often different instructions for shifting, multiplying, and deleteing. Typically the shifting instructions take less time to execute and so using the shifting operator will be faster than multiplying. This assumes the compiler doesn't recognize the situation and optimize it out though.
    The >>,<<,>>>, &,|,and ^ operators are mainly useful when you need to deal with individual bits of data. For instance if you are talking to another system (thats not java) that uses a different method of storing numbers (little endian/big endian etc.), or doing something such as creating parity data for error correction. There are lots of things to do, but most a low level and its rare when you need to use them.

  • HT202696 What happens if Apple Support expires for a product?  Does it mean there is no more help available and you are on your own just because you have an older Apple product?

    We have a family of Apple products at home, and with every new one, we learn a new aspect of the Apple Life.  After switching to iPhone 5S and struggling between some applications, I've decided it is time to upgrade rest of my older devices requesting an IOS Upgrade to 8.1.2 for weeks.
    My older iPhone 4 didn't have an upgrade, which was not advanced enough anymore to carry a new software, this I understand.  The upgraded iPod Touch and iPad Mini don't seem to have any problems with the recent changes so far.  However, the older iPad (2) we had is messed up, just like many other people's as mentioned on the pages of these discussion groups.  According to these user comments / complaints, it is obvious that upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 was not the right option to older version iPads just like it was not for iPhone 4; actually it shouldn't be an option in the first place.
    On my previous problems with iPhone 5S, I've come to realise the practicality & functionality of the Apple Support system when contacted directly, instead of going through many discussion pages of people with same or similar problems where everybody is asking but just a few is replying.  So, I wanted to give it a try to find a solution to my recent problems with iPad, but this time Apple Support pages replied with "Technical Support & Service Coverage are both Expired" message.
    First, I did not know that Apple supported its users personally, and I loved it.  Maybe this is because I didn't have previous problems with my old iPhone and iPad.  Especially the Apple Support - Chat option I preferred, where I got help step-by-step from Apple operators.  And then, I did not know that this service support was only for my devices until an expiration date, and this did not please me much.
    Can anyone enlighten me on how to receive any response from Apple about what to do with problems of an old Apple device?

    And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
    If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
    If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time.  That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
    If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue.  In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies.  But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
    This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website.  Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles.  In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you.  It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to.  You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
    It's like Starbucks.  You know how to make coffee.  Everyone knows how to make coffee.  And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less.  But you want the convenience.  So you're really paying a convenience fee.  Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.
