What is with these DAT files ?

Do I have any use for them at all. Can I just blow them all away, etc

Your profile doesn't state what kind of computer or operating system you have (also good information for troubleshooting purposes). With a Mac, until I got a better answer, I'd try putting one of the files in the trash (but DON'T empty it) and see if the video still works. If it does, you could probably ditch the file. However, I'm inclined to be a bit reckless.
A quick Google search seems to indicate that DAT is one of the video formats that the Nano supports. You might want to do a more detailed search on the file format.

What's with These Ghost Files?

On several occasions I have downloaded podcasts and noticed that they are grayed out and unchecked in my podcast directory. Any attempt to move these files to my iPod were unsuccessful. I could drag the file to my iPod, but instead of displaying a +1, is would just slide back to it's original position.
In the latest incarnation of the problem, I closed and reopened iTunes and the podcast in question was now checked and no longer grayed out. But I could still not drag it to my iPod nor could I play it within iTunes. If I "Get Info" it shows the size and location of the file within iTunes. If I go to the file using Finder, I can play it, but I can neither play it nor drag it in iTunes. What is going on here?

Sorry Bill, I haven't got a shuffle (yet!) - might be worth posting this in one of the Shuffle Forums as well, although it does seem to be an iTunes problem:

Adding Data file to existing primary file group with 1 data file

Currently our databases are configured to only have 1 data file and 1 log file. I am looking at adding a 2nd data file to the primary group, which will be on a separate lun.
Will we benefit from adding the 2nd data file (same size as 1st data file and same autogrowth rate) , or should we create a new database with 2 data files (equal size and autogrowth rate), and import the data from the database with the single data file.
Thanks.
DJ

Having another data file pointing to different Physical Volume
will give you better performance gains. Additionally, you should pre-size them (Same as First Data File) with same growth settings (Preferably in Mb
instead of Percentages) .
It is perfectly OK to add another data file to PRIMARY file-group as well and SQL Server will automatically balance the data across multiple files over the period time (Due to Data Striping)

Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.

What's with the empty file

Just finished cleaning out /etc of all the saved and obsolete files. What's with the empty file. arch-release. Does this serve a purpose or do send it to where the sun don't shine.

it's empty because arch is not based on releases .. basically, it has no version ... this point has been rectified some time ago .. i don't know why the -release file is there, but it serves no purpose as far as i can tell

What do I do with these printer files?

I've just successfully got a secondhand laser printer to work using the manufacturers driver (manually copied files into place), but it came with some extra files, "Halftones", which are some .bmp's of dot patterns, and "Profiles" which are icc profiles. I know they are something to do with the printers colour settings, but I don't know how to use them. Can someone help?

Oops, sorry!
Ok, printer is Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530dl. After struggling with the driver from the supplied disk I downloaded the foo2zjs driver from the AUR, which works reasonably well, but then downloaded the 64bit driver from the manufacturers website, which gives much better results, so there is no problem with the driver which is why I didn't mention it. The driver is supplied in rpm format and very old, so I thought file locations might be different (they aren't as it happens) so extracted and copied the files, I just didn't see the point in making a package (which for me means learning how to make a package, and I haven't got time) for 2 files, namely a .ppd and filter. But for these halftone and profile files I don't have anything to compare to and I don't know if they are being used correctly or if some other part of the system is supposed to be able to find them or what. I know that icc profiles are widely used, I just don't know how. and seeing as the halftone files are in an adjacent directory I'm assuming they are used together, again don't know how.
Okay that looked like quite a rant, apologies.
Oh and since the hardware works fine I didn't want to post in "Kernel & Hardware" - this looks like part of some kind of mystery application to me.

What is the thumb64segment.data file, and why so big?

Ok, I finally got my MacBook Pro (first mac) got all my photos approx.7-8k worth into iPhoto. Can someone tell me what are the:
thumb64segment.data
thumb32segment.data
thumbJPGsegment.data
files and why are they in hundreds of MB, and one is ~1.5GB?
Thanks

Thanks toad. You might be right about the color profile, I imported all my photos into iPhoto yesterday and I had left the add colorsync profile checkbox clicked--I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it does and if I should have done that in the first place.
As a side note, and while I have your attention (since you are so good at answering iphoto questions).
I have a Sony V1 camera, which I assume uses the RGB or the sRGB color profile. When I get home tonight, I would like to software calibrate my monitor to 2.2 gama and 6500k white point. What else do I need to do to make sure that my photos are the same accross the board with respect to colorsync/color profile.
I rarely print photos (never at home), usually through imagestation.com (maybe through apple's service from now on, but I doubt it). I understand that assuming these services dont discard the color profile embeded into the image file I send them, I should aim to send them the file with the same color profile as is used by their printers? correct?
Is there anything else I'm missing here?
Is there any other benefit to embeding a color profile into an image? Like, if I email the img to someone, will the image look the same on their screen? (I assume not, because they will a) not have the screen calibrated the same way, and b) well, I'm sure there's another reason.
PPS. I did the search on this group earlier today and read a bunch of threads on this, but I"m still not clear.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Problems with Merge Data Files

Created a form with radio buttons and finally have it working on my computer including the Merge Data Files creating the report.csv file. However, when my co-worker creates the report.csv, the columns for the radio buttons are not included. Had this problem on my computer when I had names for the radio buttons, but fixed it. The data columns for the radio buttons are not exported on the co-workers computer. Both are Pro X version, mine 10.0.0 but co-worker's is 10.1.7.
Any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -app Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Quit Safari. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Not receiving email with ETP.DAT file

I have two users that are not receiving the email from the blackberry.net domain that has the ETP.DAT file attached. I set a new activation password on my blackberry and received the email. I have tried activating these guys a dozen time. I deleted them from the BES and re-entered their BES profile still nothing. I am only having problems with these two. When I activated myself I was able to trace the email through our SMTP Server right to my mail box. We are a Lotus Notes camp. Can anyone think of something I can try?

What are the real data files of an Oracle installation?

When I install an Oracle (XE) database then a lot of stuff is copied/setup:
*.exe, jdbc driver, service tools, scripts, config files,....
But which are the real data files (under WinXP)?
I mean the files where all the individual, personal table defintions, trigger code, inserted data records are stored?
As far as I heard these are only 9 files.
Is this true?
What, if I copy just these 9 files to another Oracle XE installation on another computer and replace the 9 files over there?
Is all the content available at the remote computer after restart?

What, if I copy just these 9 files to another Oracle XE installation on another computer and replace the 9 files over there?No. Oracle is far more complex than that. The control file keeps info about the data files, including stuff like the last checkpoint scn, etc. If you just drop a new file on a different installation, even if the file has the same name and is in the same path, it won't match the info in the control file.
That's not to say there aren't ways to move a data file from one installation to another. But it is a lot more complex than simply dragging a file from one folder to another.

Restore my DB with the data files.

I needed to re-install my Windows 2000, so I lost my Oracle, so I have only my data files, I'd like to know if I can get my Data on it.

What datafiles you have. Do you have control files and other dbf files or not. If you do then you might recover your old database. You have to install exactly the same Oracle and Database configuration that you had before. Then replace the old db files with your old control files. It should come-up fine. Give a shot.

Where did these .dat files come from?

A couple days ago, while in Ghana, I was suddenly unable to send Microsoft file attachments; the files show up at my recipients as .dat files. How can I fix this?

I will try to put keywords so people find this thread.
Thanks to liaoyunhe we found "fast" the origin of our problem.
The problem is itself related to the usage of Microsoft's JDBC driver for SQL 2000 service pack 3 (�why to use M$-$QL on java?).
We currently use the same code with Postgres and also with JTDS drivers and there is no such problem.
What liaoyunhe says is absolutely true: you have to close ALL resultsets and ALL statements so there is no problem with the srt scb files.
We were stressing the application and after a while we got an "Too many files open" exception and we were able to count 39.000 srt+scb files with lsof.
After carefully reviewing our code, we found that we were not closing one resultset on a connection we re-use and the tmps were created and not released.
Thanks again liaoyunhe.
Thanks Micro$oft for giving us some extra work :-)

Tp import fails with error "data files not transferred"

Hi colleagues,
I am working on transport requests. I had issued out the tp addtobuffer SIDKxxxx <sid> pf=TP_DOMAIN_SID.PFL command for a number of transport requests at OS level; but when i then try to do tp import SIDKxxxxx <sid> client= u18 pf=TP_DOMAIN_sid.PFL, i get this error: "Data files are not transfered" in the QAS system. Everything works fine in PROD though. What could be the reason for this. I can't get it done within the application either.
Your responses appreciated.

Hi,
I guess you have individual transport directories. I f you have configured the Transport Domain and added the Other Two into the Domain and configured the Transport Route. You should be able to see the Some RFC Destinations in SM59.
TMSADM@<SID>.<DOMAIN NAME>
TMSSUP@<SID>.<DOMAIN NAME>
Please check the Test connection. of all these RFC Destination. If these fail check if you have firewall issues between the system stopping the communication on Port 33<Instance No>.
Thanks,
Tanuj
