What determines which NLS_LANG registry key is used?

I have a vb application that uses the MSDAORA.1 OLEDB provider. I have the app and the Oracle 8i (8.1.7) driver client installed on two PC's. One PC the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\NLS_LANG (AMERICA_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) key is used and the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0\NLS_LANG key is ignored. I know because if I change the value to "NA" or something else the app chokes with error ORA-12705 (invalid or unknown NLS parameter . . .). On the second PC the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0\NLS_LANG key is used, and the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\NLS_LANG is ignored. The Oracle client was installed a little differently on the two PC's one from the CD, and another from an MSI package that contains the Oracle client install. Both PC's only have one home which is HOME0. Both PC's have the same directory names and structures for the Oracle client. I compared the registry settings between the two PC's are they are essentially identical. Where is it determined which NLS_LANG key is used? And what is the purpose of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\NLS_LANG key as opposed to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0\NLS_LANG key? Thanks, Brian Grear

How to determine which diskgroups a database is using

We want to be able to determine which diskgroups a database is using. We have been using the following query which works but only if the database has open or had open the "right set of files" recently --
SQL> select dg.name from v$asm_diskgroup_stat dg, v$asm_client c where dg.group_number = c.group_number and c.db_name = 'MYDB';
If no archived logs have been generated in a while then the diskgroup that contains the FRA will no be listed in this query. We can cause the FRA diskgroup to show up if we archive the current log. Here is an example.
SQL> select * from v$asm_client;
GROUP_NUMBER INSTANCE_NAME
DB_NAME STATUS
SOFTWARE_VERSION
COMPATIBLE_VERSION
            5 +ASM
DBI03    CONNECTED
11.2.0.3.0
11.2.0.0.0
SQL> alter system archive log current;
System altered.
SQL> select * from v$asm_client;
GROUP_NUMBER INSTANCE_NAME
DB_NAME STATUS
SOFTWARE_VERSION
COMPATIBLE_VERSION
            5 +ASM
DBI03    CONNECTED
11.2.0.3.0
11.2.0.0.0
GROUP_NUMBER INSTANCE_NAME
DB_NAME STATUS
SOFTWARE_VERSION
COMPATIBLE_VERSION
            7 +ASM
DBI03    CONNECTED
11.2.0.3.0
11.2.0.0.0
Notice how diskgroup "7" shows up after the log is archived? It appears that the instance for diskgroup "7" will eventually be drop off after some idle period. Is there a way to generate the list of diskgroups consistently?

Hi,
If your database was configured manually (i.e not using DBCA) you should check v$(datafile,controlfile,logfile,block_change_tracking,etc) and parameters of database (log_archive_dest,db_recovery_file_dest,spfile,etc) to map these info.
If your database was configured using DBCA you can try it:
$ srvctl config database -d <database_name> |grep "Disk Groups"

Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage. Your backups are listed at the top, along with their sizes. Note: this will only list your most current backup. You may have your previous two backups available too but you cannot access any size information about them.

Which Windows registry key can be used to check if Adobe CS5, CS6 or CC is installed?

I need to check which product is installed on my machine programmatically. Whether it is Adobe CS6, Adobe CS6 or Adobe CC.
Which registry key I can use to check exact version? Knowing just major version will also do

This won't be easy, but you can get the address table by sending IOCTL_TCP_QUERY_INFORMATION_EX to \Device\TCP as documented
here. You'll need to spend some time looking at TCPIOCTL.H in the SDK, too. If you search the Internet for IOCTL_TCP_QUERY_INFORMATION_EX, you'll find some hints on how to use it.

How do I use a bean to determine which message bundle value to use?

Is there a way to use a bean to determine which message from my message bundle I use? I want to be able to call my bean in JSF/JSP page, have the bean return a String, and use that String to pick a message from my message bundle properties file. Now I can do this:
<h:outputText value="#{bundle.messageA}" />or this:
<h:outputText value="#{bean.messageName}" />where I have a method on the bean like this:
public String getMessageName(){
     if(someTest == true){
          return "messageA";
     } else {
          return "messageB";
}I want to combine the two so my bean determines which message I pick. I want to do this because I want to keep all the text a user sees in the message bundle file. However, based on the state of the bean, I want to display different messages.
Thanks in advance,

Ah this way. So you want that much of nasty if statements in the bean instead? ;)
Then make use of the fact that you also can access Map values using the brace notation. E.g.
<h:outputText value="#{bundle[bean.messageKey]}"/>Where getMessageKey() returns the message key, e.g. 'messageA' or 'messageB' and so on.

How to get registry key lastwritetime using batch/powershell

Hello,
I want to get a registry key's LastWriteTime using batch/powershell. These are what i have tried..
1. Launch regedit and manually export the key using the UI, this gives me the lastwritetime, but I need a commandline version of this. regedit /e only exports the key and value data.
2. dir HKLM:\software\mykey
nothing returned
3. Get-ChildItem HKLM:\software\mykey | Select-Object *
nothing returned
4. Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\software\mykey | Select-Object *
LastWriteTime not returned; other values are returned
5. (Get-Item HKLM:\software\mykey).LastWriteTime
Nothing is returned
Is the only way to do this by using pinvoke with RegQueryInfoKey?
Thanks in advance

The
.zip on the repository will still work for version 2. Basically, you'll get a definition for a function called 'Add-RegKeyMember'. You can dot source the provided script, or you can copy the function definition into your own script. You would use it like
this:
# Using Get-Item:
PS> Get-Item HKLM:\SOFTWARE | Add-RegKeyMember | select Name, LastWriteTime, ClassName
# Using Get-ChildItem:
PS> Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE | Add-RegKeyMember | select Name, LastWriteTime, ClassName
# Passing a path:
PS> Add-RegKeyMember HKLM:\SOFTWARE | select Name, LastWriteTime, ClassName
There's also a proxy function for Get-ChildItem that will automatically add the property anytime you use Get-ChildItem (dir, ls, gci) on a registry path. The PSv3 only method I was talking about simply updates the type data to automatically call the function
on any RegistryKey object. You can actually set version 2 up to do that, but it requires an XML file.

What determines which inputs you can select from when you're creating a VISA Resource Name Constant?

Hey, I'm trying to write a labview driver an instrument. I have another instrument which came with labview drivers, and I had hoped that by looking at how they did it, I could write my own for this piece of equipment.
However, the problem is they use the old visa open method. That is, they input a string, "GPIB::6", and it outputs a visa session.
The new Visa open requires that you have an input resource name, and the constants only let me pick from "COM1" and "LPT1", but the GPIB interface card in this computer is in a PCMCIA slot.
What determines what choices you get when you select the value of the constant?
Thanks,
-Dobbs

If you created a VISA Resource Name control, right click on the control and select "Allow Undefined Names".
I haven't programmed directly using VISA on LabVIEW 6 but it apppears that if you select from the drop-down menu, it shows the devices that is defined in MAX. Thus, you should be able to select your GPIB resource name if it has been properly installed.
Nevertheless, it still allows you to override the control by selecting "Allow Undefined Names".
I hope that helps.

Unable to change registry key permissions using group policy

In order to fix a problem with a piece of software not saving it's settings I need to change the permission on a registry key of our client machines.
I've setup a GPO and in Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Registry specified the registry key I want to change the permission on, added our staff security group and given the full control over that key.
The permission are not being changed and when I run rsop I'm getting the following error:
The policy engine did not attempt to configure the setting. For more information see %windir%\security\logs\winlogon.log on the target machine.
I've looked in the winlogon.log file and can see nothing meaningful that relates to this GPO. I set the logging to be verbose and this doesn't include any additional information. There appears to be nothing meaningful in the event logs on the
local machine.
The OS is Windows 7 SP1
Anybody shed any light why the policy wouldn't be applying the permissions to the registry key?

Hi,
Is this client running Windows 7 64bit? If so, this problem is expected since the Wow6432Node key is only recognizable in 64bit applications.
Security Client Side extension is a 32 bit application and therefore cannot see the key to change permissions. In this situation, you need to change permission in HKLM/Software/[appname]. For more information, please refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896459
If it is Windows 7 32bit, this is a GPO not apply issue. Please check if the following registry keys exist on the Windows 7 client:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SMART Technologies
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SMART Technologies Inc.
If so, please help collect the following information:
1.
Did this problem only occur on one Windows 7 client or occur on all Windows 7clients?
2.
What’s the Operating System on the DC?
3.
Enable debug logging for the Net Logon service. Reproduce the problem and check if there is any relevant error.

Help Determining Which Methods/Classes Are Being Used

Hello,
I'm having issues with my company's Java application and because I've luckily narrowed the classes down to a meager 30+ I need some help pinpointing my problem.
I realize there are a lot of Java monitoring applets/applications and some are deployment-specific but I need something very detailed-- I haven't found the features I need.
Specs:
Jrun4, Java 1.4, Windows Server 2003
I would like to have a monitor that tells me exactly (real-time) what classes, methods, variables, etc. are being called in real-time. Looking at the JRun launcher console for one process gives me this:
Generating report:quadbase.reportdesigner.ReportAPI.QbReport with export type:PDF
01/16 14:05:33 error Software caused connection abort: socket write error
java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: socket write error
        at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(Native Method)
        at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite(SocketOutputStream.java:92)
        at java.net.SocketOutputStream.write(SocketOutputStream.java:136)
        at jrun.servlet.io.MetricsOutputStream.write(MetricsOutputStream.java:75)
        at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.write(BufferedOutputStream.java:106)
        at jrun.servlet.http.WebOutputStream.write(WebOutputStream.java:64)
        at jrun.servlet.file.FileServlet.pipeData(FileServlet.java:419)
        at jrun.servlet.file.FileServlet.service(FileServlet.java:254)
        at jrun.servlet.ServletInvoker.invoke(ServletInvoker.java:91)
        at jrun.servlet.JRunInvokerChain.invokeNext(JRunInvokerChain.java:42)This is cute, but not really helpful. I would like to determine what was passed to the process, from where and what went wrong.
For example,
Instead of this:
Generating report:quadbase.reportdesigner.ReportAPI.QbReport with export type:PDF
01/16 14:05:33 error Software caused connection abort: socket write errorI would get something like this:
Generating report:quadbase.reportdesigner.ReportAPI.QbReport with export type:PDF
        Page variables: test.jsp ($var1= "I'm"; $var2= "Going"; $var3="To"; $var4="Break"; $var5 = null)
        Calling: test2.jsp
        With: jrun.bin.db.foo.Bar();
01/16 14:05:33 error Software caused connection abort: socket write error
        Problem: $var5 = null;Sorry if I'm rambling, I just want to know what is where and who it's calling when it breaks. Then I could deduce which class, what variable, what page, etc. My application is very complicated and seemingly mundane changes can throw it all off.
Any ideas?

We'll look into usage tracking. We're on the standard edition, so I'm not sure if it's available. Also, some of these reports may be quarterly -- so there may be a long wait to see if the view is used and I need to know fairly soon. (If it's not used, it saves us some work in a project transition going on.)
I certainly don't understand the underlying structure of the product, but it seems like there should be some way to determine if a view is used by a report. I apologize if I'm not using the correct terminology. Thanks for your help -- we'll keep looking into it.

What determines which documents are stored in the Cloud

I have set up iCloud on my desktop and laptop.
I had expected that all my Pages documents would be duplicated on both machines but this has now happened. I' assuming this is a failure of my understanding rather than a malfunction!
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Depends on your settings. If you go to Mail -> Preferences -> Composing -> Create Notes And To Dos In
This is how it will work. Mine is currently set to be created on whichever section I'm under.
At least for me it will also only save the note if there is data in it or it is the only note available on that account.

SharePoint Databases - How to determine which ones are being used and which ones aren't

I am not sure where to exactly post this question. On the SQL Server side or on a SharePoint side.
I am a SQL Server Database Administrator who is monitoring some SharePoint databases. On a daily basis it seems that they are creating new databases but don't delete the databases that they are no longer using. For example, they might be testing
on a development server and if things aren't working properly instead of asking that the databases be deleted they just go ahead and create new databases to do what ever they need to do. Is there a way on the SQL Server side to determine which SharePoint
databases are being used and which ones aren't being used? Or does one determine this information through the SharePoint Central Administration console?
lcerni

Hello,
The following query gives you the databases now in use.
SELECT
DISTINCT d.name
FROM
sys.dm_tran_locks
tl INNER
JOIN sys.databases
d
ON
tl.resource_database_id
= d.database_id
Hope this helps.

How do I identify the latest file modifications, application install, and registry key modification for Security Forensics.... using GP Audit for registry/file system

Hello,
Title pretty much states it all. I initially set out (as part of a Security Forensics initiative) to identify the most recently installed applications, modified files, and registry key changes using PowerShell. I attempted to pull this information and sort
them by date installed/last modified, but it was brought to my attention this information isn't always present and can be modified - so it's not accurate.
At that time it was suggested we use Group Policy auditing for Registry and File System - but I'm not sure how I'm going to use/pull these in PowerShell? This will be used on remote host all over the world so local physical access isn't an option.
My question is:
Once Group Policy Auditing for Registry and File System has been enabled, how would I go about pulling those audit logs for review once a system has been identified as compromised? I'm brand new to this GP Auditing (we have a separate team for that) so feel
free to take it from the beginning. :)
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Here are a few suggestions for you:
Ensure Remote Registry service is started on local and remote machines.
Add the – Credential option and supply administrative credentials within the command.

Determining Which Transaction Launcher is used

Hi,
      I have a requirement to change a Standard Transaction Launcher. My question is how do I determine which Transaction launcher is being used?
     If you go to the following menu path: SPRO --> Customer Relationship Management -->UI Framework --> Technical Role Definition --> Transaction Launcher --> Copy/ Delete Launch Transactions, you will see many standard Transaction Launchers already defined. See screen shot below:
   The question is this: I am at the Standard order screen in SAP CRM CIC. There are numerous hyperlinks at the "Transaction History" tab that launch various Transaction Launchers (launching different Transactions-parameters), how do I determine which Transaction Launcher is being used for each hyperlink?
      See the screen shot below of the Transaction Launcher (hyperlinks). I need to find the Transaction Launcher that is used in these hyperlinks (I know it is not the same Transaction Launcher for all because each launches a different transaction in ECC). How do I do this?
   Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello,
Go to class CL_UICMP_LT_ABOXEXECUTION_IMPL, put debuger in method IP_INBOUNDPLUG( )
once the transaction launchr is executed me->handler will give the information you want.
GV_ID indicate the LTX id. Hope it helps,

Registry key string values disappearing with SCOM

I'm trying to determine why some registry key string values are disappearing when Windows Server 2008 machines are restarting. In all cases, System Center Operations Manager is installed on the server. The registry keys whose string values are deleted are
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IISADMIN, HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC, and HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WAS.
The string value is the same in all cases. The string data item is called "Environment" and the string multisz value is "COR_ENABLE_PROFILING=0x1".
Does SCOM, or part of it such as the Avicode monitor, cause these values to be removed when a system is restarted?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,
SCOM2007 will do nothing in that sense, unless it is integrated with AVIcode --> but that would mean you have TWO agents on the machine (the SCOM and the AVIcode agent), since they were two separate products... where you run your other profiler,
you should not use AVIcode.
SCOM2012 installs the APM piece with its agent... but leaves it DISABLED until you configure it. While it is disabled, no rule that touches configuration gets applied to it. Once you do ENABLE the APM functionality, then yes, we will go and change the registry
key adding ourselves (APM) as profiler... because that is what the configuration to tells us to do. If you REMOVE that configuration, we'll clear ourselves out of it.
But again, it requires configuration to be done -- otherwise, out of the box, we do none of this.

What determines who I "see" in in shared?

I have a macbook running 10.6.5 and have connected to an older macbook pro running 10.5.8. At the time, I was able to connect and use screen sharing etc. and both macs were on the same network at the time.
Now, I am on another network and can no longer see that macbook pro. I can however, see one of my other macs sitting on another network all the time, as well as another local mac on the network I'm currently on.
So, can someone explain to me what determines which computer will show up in my shared sidebar in the finder, and how or if I can get connected with that macboo pro?
Thanks!

As I understand it you cannot connect to computers on a different network node than the one to which you are connected unless you know the public IP address of the remote computer or the remote computer has a port opened to the internet. Back to My Mac is an example of a service in OS X that enables this via MobileMe.com, but you must have a MobileMe account to use it. Otherwise it is done, most conveniently, by using VNC (Virtual Network Computing) software such as the Screen Sharing application in OS X or a freeware utility like Chicken of the VNC. But to connect to any remote computer that computer must have an open port through which the software can communicate. When not on the same network that port will have to be accessible through the computer's internet connection.
There are other issues involved. Here's one article dealing with connecting to a home computer from work (or vice-versa) that explains some of the logistics involved.
