What exactly is the Grid in oracle 10g

Please anybody can help on this.
Thanks
ARIZ

There are many definitions of 'Grid computing'. And when you pick a working definition, you will find there are many products and product features that can be said to support that definition.
I suggest your read Oracle's "Technical White Paper: Grid Computing with Oracle" found here to get their definition and at least part of their product and feature list.

  • What exactly is the JInitiator?

    I'm new to deploying forms on the Web and noticed that the JInitiator is installed on all users computers the first time they run the URL of my application. What exactly is the JInitiator and what is it's function?

    to run Forms in the web you need a JVM. You can use the Sun Plugin or the modified version from oracle, called JInitiator. With the first install your HTML checks, if the actual version on your browser uses the correct version or it downloads the version from Sun (sun plugin) or your Application Server (jini).
    The Jinitiator has some benefits. Some cache-mechanisms helps you - stuff which isn't available in the standard edition of the sun plugin
    After the installation of the plugin you have to download one-time the java-applet, called generic applet. This is the program which interacts with the OAS and shows you the forms-application, which runs on the OAS in a forms-runtime

  • What exactly is the difference between enqueue,latch & lock

    Can someone explain in simple words (with example if possible) what exactly is the difference between enqueue,latch & lock?
    I have gone through documentation & other links,but just not able to figure out the exact & clear difference between these three..
    Cheers,
    Kunwar

    In addition to links provided by Sb and nice explanations by Aman, i would like to add below :
    1.Latches and enqueues are lightweight serialization devices used to coordinate multi-user access to
    shared data structures, objects and files.
    Latches are locks that are held for extremely short periods of time, for example the time it takes to modify
    an in-memory data structure. They are used to protect certain memory structures, such as the database
    block buffer cache or the library cache in the shared pool (as described in Chapter 2, Architecture). Latches
    are typically requested internally in a ‘willing to wait’ mode. This means that if the latch is not available,
    the requesting session will sleep for a short period of time and retry the operation later. Other latches may
    be requested in an ‘immediate’ mode, meaning that the process will go do something else rather than sit
    and wait for the latch to become available. Since many requestors may be waiting for a latch at the same
    time, you may see some processes waiting longer than others. Latches are assigned rather randomly, based
    on the ‘luck of the draw’, if you will. Whichever session asks for a latch right after it was released will get it.
    There is no line of latch waiters, just a ‘mob’ of waiters constantly retrying.
    Oracle uses atomic instructions like ‘test and set’ for operating on latches. Since the instructions to set
    and free latches are atomic, the operating system itself guarantees that only one process gets it. Since it
    is only one instruction, it can be quite fast. Latches are held for short periods of time and provide a
    mechanism for clean-up in case a latch holder ‘dies’ abnormally while holding it. This cleaning up
    process would be performed by PMON.
    Enqueues are another, more sophisticated, serialization device, used when updating rows in a database
    table, fro example. They differ from latches in that they allow the requestor to ‘queue up’ and wait for
    the resource. With a latch request, the requestor is told right away whether they got the latch or not.
    With an enqueue, the requestor will be blocked until they actually attain it. As such, they are not as fast
    as a latch can be, but they do provided functionality over and above that which a latch can offer.
    Enqueues may be obtained at various levels, so you can have many ‘share’ locks and locks with various
    degrees of ‘shareability’.

  • What exactly does the colaece option do in TOAD software

    Hi,
    What exactly does the colaece option do in TOAD software.
    Regards,
    MuruguPandian P

    Coalesce will take ADJACENT free space and coalesce it into one larger free chunk.
    A free extent in a dictionary-managed tablespace is made up of a collection of contiguous free blocks. When allocating new extents to a tablespace segment, the database uses the free extent closest in size to the required extent. In some cases, when segments are dropped, their extents are deallocated and marked as free, but adjacent free extents are not immediately recombined into larger free extents. The result is fragmentation that makes allocation of larger extents more difficult.
    You should often use the ALTER TABLESPACE ... COALESCE statement to manually coalesce any adjacent free extents. To Coalesce a tablespace give the following command
    SQL> alter tablespace ica coalesce;

  • What exactly are the updates good for on an ipod

    I ask because mine is windows format, and im having trouble transferring all the metadata off my ipod with senuti to a back up so that i can reformat the ipod to mac and then sync in my senuti backed up library. I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly are the updates that you get. my ipod is 1.2 5thgen.
    If i were to have the latest update would i be able to see album cover art view when the ipod is plugged into itunes? I noticed that i can see that view in library mode but not in ipod mode. (my pod isnt synced)...
    so what are these updates good for?

    hey thanks for your reply.
    I do have it set to manual and i can see the art on the ipod by itself, but even with manual transfer itunes wont let me view the artwork modes unless i am playing off my computers library (which doesn't have the songs on my ipod on it). I called apple earlier today and some tech support guy claimed that itunes does not support this feature. Is this correct? can anyone out there see artwork modes on an unsynced ipod through itunes?

  • What exactly does the Radio Beacon Indicate

    I have seen cases where the Radio Beacon is black and when it is gray. When it's black you may or may not be able to go through the wireless router to the modem and then to the internet. When it is gray, you cannot really do anything except be in a local mode. However there are instances when the Radio Beacon is black, rather than gray, and you still cannot access the internet. So, what exactly does the activated Radio Beacon Indicate, i.e., that the wireless network is working and the modem is down, or something else entirely ?

    Assuming you're referring to the Airport icon in the menu bar, 'clear/empty' means Airport is turned off, gray bars means Airport is on but not connected to a network, and black bars means Airport is on and connected to a network. Other possible icon states are solid gray with a little computer inset, meaning you're connected to a computer-to-computer created on the Mac, and gray bars with an exclamation point (10.6 only), meaning connected to a network but not authenticated (e.g. wrong password for an 801.2X corporate/university network).
    To your question, it's perfectly possible to be successfully connected to a network (black icon) and unable to access the internet. Situations like that would include the network requiring a proxy server, for which you haven't set up the details on in Network Preferences, or you're connected to an open network that requires you to enter information or agree to terms (e.g. a hotel network, where you need to put in your room number and agree to the charges before you can connect to the internet).

  • What exactly does the global switch command line do ?

    Hello All
    Just foraging in the dark world of APP-V. I have a question which I cannot find answer for through google.
    There are powershell commands to publish an APP-V application globally. What exactly does the global switch do ?
    I understand it makes the application available to everyone on the machine for anyone who logs onto that machine.
    However in the absence of this global switch the application is still available to all users who logon to that particular machine. So what exactly is the reason for using the global switch ?
    Thanks

    Correct, the global switch makes the application accessable for all users logging on to that system.
    This feature is required for some packages, like Office. But it is ofter used for applications used by everyone, like Adobe Reader.
    However in the absence of this global switch the application is still available to all users who logon to that particular machine. So what exactly is the reason for using the global switch ?
    A package can be added to the system but until it is published a user cannot start it. They won't see any shortcuts in their startmenu/desktop/etc.
    So after you added the package to the system, it must be published to a user or globally (every user) to start it.

  • What "exactly" does the Brightness setting in Print do?

    What "exactly" does the Brightness setting in the Print module do?
    I know it's a controversial button, especially now that there are proofing options available. Also, since you're using it "blind" it's impossible to know how much or what it's really doing.
    Does anyone know if it's e.g.. the same as going to quick develop and going up on "exposure", or "brightness", or "shadows"... How exactly is it brightening the image, and is +100 a full stop or how is it calibrated?
    Thanks,
    Alan.

    Ooops,
    Obviously there is NO brightness control in LR...is the print adjustment similar to an exposure adjustment or more like moving the "shadows" and "whites" adjustments (which if I understand corrrectly, moves tones above or below mid tones, but not highlights or blacks)?

  • What exactly are the cron scripts doing?

    Hi,
    Hope the subject says it all: I have searched but not found a detailed explanation as what the cron scripts (daily, weekly, monthly) actually do, and if the utilities (Onyx, Cocktail, Xupport, etc) are doing exactly the same.
    Can someone point to a site or explain?
    TIA
    Dan

    Hi Dan,
    (in addition to Barry's reply)
    Yes,
    1) running the Daily, the Weekly and the Monthly tasks manually with an utility, or
    2) running them yourself with the
    sudo periodic daily
    sudo periodic weekly
    sudo periodic monthly
    Terminal commands
    (or this one: sudo periodic daily weekly monthly), or
    3) leaving your computer running 24/7/365 so that they run automatically,
    all three ways do exactly the same thing.
    --> To see what they do exactly, the best way is to open Console, and in the /var/log section, look for "daily.out", "weekly.out" and "monthly.out".
    What exactly are the "cron scripts" doing?
    (Periodic tasks)
    In Console, you'll find a lot of different files that grow with more and more information every minute, even every second for some of them.
    The three Periodic tasks regularly rearrange them and compresses them so that they don't take too much disk space.
    They also rebuild some system database so that the data never gets unusable by the system.

  • I wish I could remember what exactly happenned the last time I upgraded iphoto years ago, but something

    I wish I could remember what exactly happenned the last time I upgraded iPhoto years ago. Did my address book go kaflooey? But whateverit was, it discouraged me from any updating eversince.  Believe it or not, I have been limping along with Iphoto 6.0.6 and basically faring fine, given my needs.  But I would now like to be able to order prints from my photo library -- and you can't do that any longer with 6.  So my question is:  what are the things that
    can go wrong with the later systems?  And is there any way around having that happen?

    Make a back up.
    Make a second.
    Upgrade. Get on with your life.

  • What exactly does the Work Offline option do in a shared review hosted on an internal server?

    Hi,
    What exactly does the Work Offline option do in a shared review hosted on an internal server?
    I *think* it simply disconnects you from the review server. I'm not sure why one would want to do this.
    I'm trying to recommend an offline workflow for reviewers who may not be able to access a shared review hosted on our internal server (for example, while traveling). These reviewers would like to be able to comment on an offline version of the review PDF and then publish their comments when they can again connect to the Internet/internal server.
    It doesn't seem like "Work Offline"  is the right fit for this scenario. Instead, should reviewers save a local copy to their hard drive, comment on it, and then, when reconnected to the Internet, open the local copy, click Reconnect to Server, and then click Publish Comments?

    Thanks, Dave. So for my hypothetical traveling reviewer, it would be reasonable to suggest the following steps for an offline workflow?
    1. Connect to the shared review.
    2. Choose Work Offline from the Server Status menu.
    3. Close and save the review PDF locally.
    4. Comment while traveling.
    5. When back in the office, open the local copy of the review PDF.
    6. Click Reconnect to Server.
    7. Click Publish Comments.

  • What exactly is the diff between main window and variable window

    what exactly is the diff between main window and variable window in SAP script?

    hi,
    MAIN WINDOW :- In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon as a main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text in the main window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.
    You can define only have one window in a form as main window.
    The main window must have the same width on each page, but can differ in height.
    A page without main window must not call itself as next page, since this would trigger an endless loop. In such a case, the system automatically terminates after three pages.
    VARIABLE WINDOW :- The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
    As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike. The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
    hope this will be useful.
    If useful then reward points.
    with regards,
    Syed
