What are CREATOR and REGISTRAR in the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view?

Environment: Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
I'm not sure exactly where this question belongs since it deals with database processes, RMAN and Data Guard all in one so I'll start here and see where it takes me.
I have a Data Guard environment set up with 1 primary and 1 standby. I am running some queries against the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to understand the view so I can better monitor the archive log activity between the databases.
I have read the documentation but am still confused over a couple of things:
1- What is the FGRD process and how can it write archive logs as seen in the CREATOR column of the view looking from the primary side? I thought only the ARCn process could do that.
2- On the standby side all the logs have LGWR as the CREATOR which makes sense since, as I understand it, the LGWR process on the primary is sending the log files to the standby via SQL*Net. I realize this is not a question. :-)
3- The documentation for the view shows RMAN as a possible value for the CREATOR column. How and where does RMAN create an archive log file?
4- Finally, for now, what is the meaning of the REGISTRAR column? What exactly is it registering since we already know the source (CREATOR), status and whether the log has been archived, applied and deleted.
Thanks very much for any light you can shed in my darkness.

Thats why acting as forground process.

This might be because archivelog file can be generated from other resource i.e either from RFS or by registering with RMAN command REGISTER.

  • What are strengths and weaknesses of the sap.m.Shell and sap.m.App as container for an application wrapper?

    My question today: What are strengths and weaknesses of the
    sap.m.Shell
    and
    sap.m.App
    as container for an application wrapper?
    I currently use non of them, but I see the advantages.
    SAP best practise is to use one of them or nest them as shell > app. What are strengths and weaknesses of the approaches?

    We prefer to say, the tender mercies of the Fetch block.
    You'll notice the "wfm info" cluster as an output of the Fetch
    VI.  This cluster has gain and offset members- use these to scale
    your binary data to floating point voltage representation.
    As you point out, the numbers won't be exactly what you expect given
    the vertical range and the device resolution.  There are a few
    reasons for this.  First, we don't use the absolute full scale of
    the ADC for the maximum input voltage.  There are a couple of
    codes of headroom at the top and bottom.  This allows your input
    signal to slightly exceed the specified vertical range without clipping
    (you'll get a warning from the driver).  Second, these gain and
    offset numbers take into account calibration information for your
    device.  Using these numbers will correct for small deviations
    from the ideal offset and gain.
    So if you use the gain and offset numbers from the driver, your
    measurements will be more accurate than if you assume 0 offset and
    perfect gain.  They will be most accurate if you make sure to
    perform a self-calibration once the device is in your system and at the
    temperature that your tests will be run.

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

  • 0.41GB of my iPod Touh 4G' is taken up by something called 'Others'. What are 'Others' and can they be deleted or are they an essential part of the iPod and embedded in it? If not essential how do I go about deleting it to enable me to add other pictures

    0.41GB of my iPod Touch 4G's capacity is taken up by something callked 'Others'. What are 'Others' and will it be o.k to delete them? If so how do I go about doing it as there is no trace of a file on either iTunes or my iPod?

    Other content is typically miscellaneous data used by applications you have installed - could be save data (e.g. for games), or documents you've created. There's no easy way to determine precisely what it is, but the only way to clear it is to either delete it from within the respective application, or remove the associated application altogether - neither of which are typically practical.

  • What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?

    Hi All,
    can anybody please answer this question
    What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    ROWID can be thought of as a pointer to the physical location (on disk) of the (table) row.
    From a ROWID value, Oracle can extract the file, block-within-that-file and offset-of-the-row-within-that-block. Using these, Oracle can directly access a disk block to retrieve a row.
    ROWNUM is a just sequence number of a row within a result set of a query.
    As said by other repliers, both are not stored. They are 'constructed' when you reference them inside a query.

  • I just bought and downloaded an album.  the album/tracks are NOT found in my music listing alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist. plz help

    i just bought and downloaded an album.  the album/tracks are NOT found in my music library alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist.  in addition, when using the search queue in the upper right corner, the artist and album is listed when searched for, but when clicked on, nothung happens.  i have downloaded hundreds of tracks with no issue (not a noob), but have no idea what has occurred...plz help

    Have you checked whether the songs are in your iTunes library? If they are, then just drag them to your purchased playlist. If they aren't, try checking for available downloads.
    If none of the previous work, then get in contact directly with iTunes store support to tell them about your problem.

  • What are high and low values in sharepoint 2013 user permissions?

    So I hit this api:
    http://win-a3q7ml82p8f/sharepoint_site/_api/web/roledefinitions/
    And got the different high and low values. But I am not clear with what they mean:
    For eg:
    High: 176, Low: 138612833
    and
    High: 176, Low: 138612801
    So for different values of Low how does it change the permissions?
    For 176 its binary is 10110000. So looking at this table here: http://www.dctmcontent.com/sharepoint/Articles/Permissions%20and%20Mask%20Values.aspx
    I can understand that 176 would mean the following set of permissions:
    DeleteVersions
    OpenItems
    ApproveItems
    But what's confusing me is, that user has OpenItems permissions but not ViewListItems permission? Am I wrong in understanding this?
    Also how does the value of Low change the overall user permissions?
    Note: I looked at this answer: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9d6df168-e8f5-4323-8c34-0646c03eff68/rest-api-what-are-high-and-low-in-effectivebasepermissions-and-getusereffectivepermissions?forum=sharepointdevelopment

  • What are valid and invalid email address characters

    What are valid and invalid email address characters in Exchange 2010, for example can you have Conan.O'[email protected] is there a document that shows the valid and invalid sysmbols?

    Hi
        The format of email addresses is
    local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the
    domain name may have a
    maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.<sup id="cite_ref-0">[1]</sup>
    The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3
    and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321 - with a more readable form given in
    the informational RFC 3696<sup id="cite_ref-1">[2]</sup>
    and the associated errata.
    Local part
    The local-part of the email address may use any of these
    ASCII characters
    RFC 5322 Section
    3.2.3:
    Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
    Digits
    0 to
    9 (ASCII: 48-57)
    Characters
    !#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
    Character
    . (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and
    provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed.).
    Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
    o   
    Space and
    "(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
    The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The
    space, backslash \ and
    quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also be preceded by a backslash
    \ (e.g.
    A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part, or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost characters of the local-part
    (e.g. abc."defghi"[email protected] or
    "abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. Conversely,
    abc"defghi"[email protected] is not; neither is
    abc\"def\"[email protected]). Quoted strings and characters however, are not commonly used.
    RFC 5321 also
    warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".
    The local-part "postmaster" is treated specially - it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator. Technically all other local-parts
    are case sensitive, therefore [email protected] and [email protected] specify different mailboxes. However most organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent, and also do not allow use of the technically valid characters
    (space, ? and ^). Organizations are free to restrict the forms of their own email addresses as desired, e.g.,
    Windows Live Hotmail,
    for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_)
    and hyphen (-).<sup id="cite_ref-2">[3]</sup>
    Systems that send mail must be capable of handling outgoing mail for all valid addresses. Contrary to the relevant standards, some defective systems treat certain
    legitimate addresses as invalid and fail to handle mail to these addresses. Hotmail, for example, refuses to send mail to any address containing any of the following standards-permissible characters:
    !#$%*/?^`{|}~
    Domain part
    The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a
    hostname,
    consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and dots. In addition, the domain part may be an
    IP address
    literal, surrounded by square braces, such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1], although this is rarely seen except
    in email spam.
    Examples
    Valid email addresses
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>much."more\ unusual"@example.com</tt>
    <tt>very.unusual."@"[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>very."(),:;<>[]".VERY."very@\\\ \"very"[email protected]</tt>
    Invalid email addresses
    <tt>Abc.example.com</tt> (an @ character must separate the local and domain parts)
    <tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is last in local part)
    <tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is double)
    <tt>A@b@[email protected]</tt> (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
    <tt>a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k][email protected]</tt> (none of the special characters in this local part
    is allowed outside quotation marks)
    <tt>just"not"[email protected]</tt> (quoted strings must be dot separated, or the only element making
    up the local-part)
    <tt>this is"not\[email protected]</tt> (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within
    quoted strings and preceded by a slash)
    <tt>this\ still\"not\\[email protected]</tt> (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes,
    and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)

  • What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby

    HI,
    What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby configuration?
    Thanks
    Ken

    Logical standby database
    The key advantage for logical standby databases is that they're opened read/write, even while they're in
    applied mode. That is, they can be used to generate reports and the like. It is indeed a fully functional
    database. Also, additional indexes, materialized views and so on can be created.
    However (this being a disadvantage) not all datatypes are supported.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log, transforms them into
    SQL statements and replays them on the logical standby database.
    Physical standby database
    A physical standby database is a byte for byte exact copy of the primary database. This also means that
    rowids stay the same in a physical standby database environment.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log to recover the
    physical database.
    A physical standby database might be opened read only; however, the received logs are in this case not
    applied. When the logs are applied, the database is not accessible (it is then in a managed recovery state).

    What are Before and After Images ?
    Where do we come across these terms ?
    Could you please explain with an example ?
    I always thank my replies in points 
    Thanks in advance...

    <b>Hai</b>....

  • What are Conversions and Extensions

    Hey ,
         I want to know what are Conversions and Extensions. Can i get any material where i can get information on these.
    Thanks in advance

    The conversion programs were used to take the extract data from the legacy system and re-format for SAP and load the data into SAP.
    Conversions are one-time programs used to transfer data from the legacy system into SAP. For example, you can transfer master data like vendors, customers etc.
    SAP provides enhancement to BAPIs thru EXTENSION IN AND EXTENSION OUT .these are structure parameters.suppose example: one BAPI released to update the mara table.then u modified the table mara thru append structure.this changes will not be reflected in BAPIs.So thats why in that case we have to use EXTENSION IN AND EXTENSION OUT structures to fill and work.

  • What are Validation and simulator

    can any one explain what are Validation and Simulators are ???
    what is there importance and how they work in SAP ??
    Regards,
    Milindkumar

    Are you referring to validation rules and simulations? Whereby validations allow the checking of values and combinations of data as they are being entered in SAP. Because the data is validated before it is posted, only correct information enters the system. For example if you have a cost center X that should not post to account Y. You create a validation that checks to see if cost center X is entered whether the account is Y. If the account is Y the validation will stop the entry from being made.
    Simulations normally are when data is checked for accuracy or verfied before posting. Simulations usually allow the verification of data by displaying that entries that will post or will be created only after the post button or process occurs.

  • 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.
