What are files in $AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/state/statemgmt/oracle_home

Greetings.
I have found my OEM 12c, 12.1.0.1 reporting on some targets which don't exist ad some which are reported incorrectly. Some poking around on a particular host for which this behavior is exhibited (this host is a member of a two node cluster) lead me to the directory $AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/state/statemgmt/oracle_home on that host. In that directory I find the files -
agent12c1_8_hammer
cmdevel.ucdavis.edu_cmdevel1_oracle_database_home
cmupg.ucdavis.edu_cmupg1_oracle_database_home
hammersteele_cluster_home
LISTENER_SCAN10_hammersteele_oracle_listener_home
LISTENER_SCAN2_hammersteele_oracle_listener_home
cmupg is a database which does not exist, It may have existed at one point but if it did was removed some time ago.
LISTENER_SCAN10 is a non-existent scan listener.
./emctl config agent listtargets lists both of those tqargets -
mytest1:product/agent12g/agent_inst/bin->./emctl config agent listtargets

[agent12c1_8_hammer, oracle_home]
[LISTENER_SCAN2_hammersteele, oracle_listener]
[has_hammer.ucdavis.edu, has]
(some data deleted by me)
My question is, can anyone explain to me where those files come from, how the OEM uses them and should I clean that up? I did see SCAN_LISTENER10 reported by the console but I manually deleted it form the console.
Another interesting observation is that there are three SCAN_LISTENERS on this cluster, 1, 2 & 3. The console reports only LISTENER_SCAN2 as being up, the others are reported as being down. COuld this have some bearing on it. SCAN_LISTENER1 is running on the other node and the file LISTENER_SCAN1_hammersteele_oracle_listener_home exists in the analocous directory on the other cluster.
I'm puzzled. If anyone can help me out I would be most appreciative.
Thank you.

Courtney,
That makes sense and in fact the 11.2.0.2 installation was upgraded to 11.2.0.3 and 11.2.0.2 was not uninstalled so these entries from the targets.xml make sense -
<HOME NAME="Ora11g_gridinfrahome1" LOC="/usr/local/oraGrid/product/11.2.0.2-grid" TYPE="O" IDX="1">
<NODE_LIST>
<NODE NAME="hammer"/>
<NODE NAME="steele"/>
</NODE_LIST>
</HOME>
<HOME NAME="OraDb11g_home1" LOC="/usr/local/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1" TYPE="O" IDX="2">
<NODE_LIST>
<NODE NAME="hammer"/>
<NODE NAME="steele"/>
</NODE_LIST>
Now, on to the next question. In the statemgmt/oracle_home directory I see these files (among others) -
cmupg.ucdavis.edu_cmupg1_oracle_database_home
LISTENER_SCAN10_hammersteele_oracle_listener_home
cmupg is a database which no longer exists and LISTENER_SCAN10 no longer exists. Where do those files come from? The database cmdevel does exist and I see the file -
cmdevel.ucdavis.edu_cmdevel1_oracle_database_home
there are three other databases on this cluster, why are there not files for these other databases? I'm very confused and appreciate your help.
Thank you.

    So what are the steps required to change in FICO for state bifurcation (Telangana and Andhra).
    I have identified below Points :-
    1. New State creation(TG)
    2. New tax codes as per tax rates (if required)
    3. Business place creation.
    4. New Business place assign to Plant
    Please provide valuable inputs for any other changes required from FICO side apart from above steps.

  • What are the database resources when collecting stats using dbms_stats

    Hello,
    We have tables that contain stale stats and would want to collect stats using dbms_stats with estiamte of 30%. What are the database resources that would be consummed when dbms_stats is used on a table? Also, would the table be locked during dbms_stats? Thank you.

    1) I'm not sure what resources you're talking about. Obviously, gathering statistics requires I/O since you've got to read lots of data from the table. It requires CPU particularly if you are gathering histograms. It requires RAM to the extent that you'll be doing sorts in PGA and to the extent that you'll be putting blocks in the buffer cache (and thus causing other blocks to age out), etc. Depending on whether you immediately invalidate query plans, you may force other sessions to start doing a lot more hard parsing as well.
    2) You cannot do DDL on a table while you are gathering statistics, but you can do DML. You would generally not want to gather statistics while an application is active.

  • What are file extension suppored by the screen painter

    hai
    i have small doubt at screenpainter.
    what are the file extensions supported by screen painter
       thanking
      nagababu

    It supports both files in .xml or .srf (at least I have opened both with the Screen Painter).  My guess it supports any extension ... as long as the contents in the file have the right xml code on them.

    If zsyy_ocecs.cm_subs_subscriber table returns one row for each servnumber, both statements would return the same data. But if there was a servnumber value on two rows, the first statement will throw an error (you a comparing a value with a set of values). You can rewrite the first query to avoid this:
    select * from counter where eboxid in (select acctid from zsyy_ocecs.cm_subs_subscriber where servnumber = ?);
    Conceptually they are different and the execution plan can't be the same.

  • What are files in iTunes library starting with ".BC."?

    I was reviewing my hard drive usage and noticed a lot of hidden files in the iTunes library which have the prefix ".BC." followed by some random-seeming characters (for example, ".BC.3DoeaY"). There are thousands of these files, and they take up a lot of space.
    They seem to be duplicates of various MP3s and MP4s in my library (they are identical in size to those files, and doing the "file" command on them reports that they are MP3 or MP4).
    What are these files? Why are they there? Is it safe to remove them?

    Put it back the way it was, if you move files in Win Explorer, then iTunes loses it's placemarker to the files, as you've found.
    Then use iTunes to move the files.

  • What are the advantages of a solid state drive?

    I was considering upgrading to a solid state drive in my Mac Mini, but was wondering what all the advantages are. Does it mainly deal with boot times, or does it actually make programs run faster? The reason I ask is most videos I see only show boot times, and also I was under the impression that once a program is up and running it uses RAM to operate more than it does the hard drive.
    So is a Solid State Drive worth it in terms of speed, beyond just boot times?
    Thanks in advance for any insight.

    The Fusion Drive that came in my Mac  Mini from the factory is a combination of a 128GB SSD and 1TB HD, but OS X treats the two as a single device. OS X has long had a feature where the most active files are moved to that part of the drive that has the fastest access times. That offered some improvment in disk I/O. In the case of the Fusion drive, the fast part of the drive is de-facto the SSD portion of the combination. In theory the Fusion Drive provides the speed of an SSD with the relatively low cost capacity of the HD. In practice, and after some runtime experience where the OS measures file activity and moves the most active files to the SSD there is an obvious improvement in overall system performance and the cost is bearable.
    Kevin Fromcamarillo mentioned the OWC upgrade and IMO it is a good one. There are articles around that will tell you how to format and configure an SSD and HD to be a Fusion drive. I have not tried that so I cannot say whether it is as good as the Apple factory Fusion drive or not. Personally I think the Fusion drive concept is like a hybrid automobile. An intermediate step until technology brings the cost down and capacity up enough to make them fully competitive. That time is coming sooner rather than later. Notice Appe is not even offering HDs on some models and instead going to all SSD. I don't think it will be too long before I am tryng to move my Fusion drive into an external enclosure and replacing it with a high capacity SSD.
    A caveat with the Fusion drive. If you use third party volume repair and maintenance utilities, be absolutely sure the version you hvae is certivied compatible with a Fusion drive. Even when apps are certified compatible, that compatibility may not indlude all of their functions.

  • What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

    What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

    Hi,
    To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called <b>READ DATASET</b>. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
    This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
    For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
    In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
    If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
    OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    . If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
    Influence of Access Type
    Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
    Influence of the Storage Type
    The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
    If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
    If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
    If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
    System Fields
    sy-subrc Meaning
    0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
    4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
    Thanks,
    Samantak.

  • What are the steps if; the disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved

    I'm to install windows XP software, and I can partition the disk.  If state, "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files canot be moved."  What are the steps to complete partition to install windows XP?

    Ok  what happens with Bootcamp is it needs to carve out a contiguous free space at the bottom of your hard drive.
    If it can't do that then it can't make the partition.
    What has happened is there are some files down in closer in the bottom part of the drive, this occurs if you've had a hard drive nearly full, performed a software update, installed programs and then removed some files leaving parts and large empty spaces.
    So what to do to fix this?
    Well your going to have to learn how to clone your OS X boot partition, with all your programs and files to a external drive, which you can then hold the option key and boot from it.
    Then you run Disk Utility from the clone, erase the OS X partition on the internal drive and clone everything right back.
    This will place everything in order, move everything up and nice and compact at the top of the drive, which will allow you to make a BootCamp partition as big as you have room for.
    It will also make your comptuer perform a bit faster too.
    Cloning back and forth is rather safe, because you always have a hold option key bootable clone, either on the internal drive or the external drive, your computer will work from either.
    What you don't want to use is Defrag software, that moves things around while the computer is running and messes things up quite a bit and really doesn't optimize as well or as safely as a clone.
    In fact I just assisted a person who did just that and royally messed up their machine, requiring a complete rebuild of everything.
    So read through this thread of mine and grasp things and you'll be cloning your boot drive in no time.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
    Remember that cloning can't clone Filevaulted drives or Bootcamp partitions, also it only (at this time) clones the OS X partition, which for Snow Leopard is the whole drive usually (minus Bootcamp partition.)
    However if your on Lion, Carbon Copy Cloner doesn't quite yet clone the hidden Lion Recovery Partition, so when you clone you won't have it on the external drive but the computer will boot off the external drive just fine without it.
    So when you go to erase the Lion internal drive, you need to erase only the OS X Lion Partition not the entire drive before reverse cloning.
    You should make a Lion Recovery USB if you have Lion, as only through Lion Recvoery can you reinstall Lion now. Instrucitons are in my thread.
    The way you can tell if your selecting a partition or a entire drive in Disk Utility is how far left it is.
    The far left are devices and the slightly indented items are partitions or media using that device.
    Good Luck

  • What are the jpg.tmp files in iPhoto?

    Hi,
    I've just added some folders that contain .jpg files to iPhoto.  The folders all reside under my Documents folder, let's call it Documents/Photos/Folder1, .../Folder2, etc.
    Within iPhoto, I've adjusted the time of the files (Modify original files checkbox was ticked), added keywords, location and faces to the images.  Now I've got one, or in some cases up to three, .tmp files for each of the original .jpg files.  For example, Folder1 has the original img_001.jpg and also newly-created img_001.jpg.tmp, img_001.jpg_2.tmp, etc.
    Can anyone explain what these files are and what created them, and if it's safe to delete them?  Would be grateful for your help.
    Regards,
    Ken.

    I'm using a referenced library, not a managed one.  I have my images sitting in a folder outside of iPhoto.  iPhoto contains links to those images.  Hadn't realised that this approach was strongly not recommended.

    The .tmp files are not inside the iPhoto library (I'm not messing about with anything in there).
    They are located outside of iPhoto at Documents/Photos/Folder1—the same folder where I have my original images.  So now this folder has img_001.jpg and img_001.jpg.tmp and img_001.jpg_2.tmp.

    Hmmm...this doesn't tally with what I observed last night:
    I checked the contents of Folder1: it only contained .jpg files; no .tmp files were present.
    I dragged, say, Folder1 onto (an open, running) iPhoto, thereby importing them.
    Within iPhoto I adjusted the time of the files (Modify original files checkbox was ticked), added keywords, location and faces to the images.
    When I checked the contents of Folder1 again, the .tmp files were present.
    The only application that I was using was iPhoto; the only actions that I took were those described; I don't believe there was any other process running on the computer that could have manipulated the images or created the .tmp files.
    Anyone got any ideas about these .tmp files?  What are they?  Can they be deleted?
    Many thanks,
    Ken.

  • I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them?

    Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
    http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
    (The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
    Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

  • I have very little space left on the hard drive on my macbook, on my storage report it says "other" is taking up more than two thirds of the space on the hardrive. How can I identify what these files are?

    Hello,
    There is free software you can download that gives you a graphical image of what files are used on your hard drive. http://www.derlien.com/
    This may help you clean down your hard drive for more space.
    Best of luck
