Why does an unused 10g instance create so much archivelog?

I created a copy of my production database in 10g because we wanted to do some migration testing. I created it before we were ready, so it sat idle for a week. It has created a 5M archive log every 30 minutes since. I do have 2 materialized views, but these are scheduled to run at different times than the archive logs are created. These archives are created at the top and bottom of each hour. Any ideas why? There have been absolutely no users attached to this database in a week.

Performance Self-Diagnostics: Automatic Database Diagnostics Monitor
Oracle Database includes a self-diagnostic engine called the Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM). ADDM makes it possible for the Oracle Database to diagnose its own performance and determine how any identified problems can be resolved.To facilitate automatic performance diagnosis using ADDM, Oracle Database periodically (once an hour by default) collects information about the database state and workload it is running. This information is gathered in form of snapshots, which is a statistical summary of the state of the system at any given point in time. These snapshots are stored in the Automatic Workload Repository, residing in the SYSAUX tablespace. The snapshots are stored in this repository for a set time (a week by default) before they are purged in order to make room for new snapshots.ADDM examines data captured in AWR and performs analysis to determine the major issues on the system on a proactive basis and in many cases recommends solutions and quantifies expected benefits.

Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?

Why does firefox's internet files take so much space on hard drive?For example, I have 9,80GD on disk and after looked 2 video on youtube(2-3 min each) it's become 9,60GB. It's 200MB gone!

CMP Beans from Tables: Why does the Container try to create new tables?

I'm trying to develop an EJB application using JDeveloper on 9iAS. I have several CMPs and have my tables that I want my CMPs to be based on already defined in my DB schema. I want to use CMP but I don't want the Container to create the tables, rather I want the Container to map my CMP EJBs to the already existing tables.
The issue is:
While creating these CMP EJBs in JDeveloper I chose the "New Enterprise Java Bean" EJB creation wizard using the option labeled "Container-managed Entity Beans from Tables". My assumption is that this does what I want, because the wizard prompts for a schema and table you want to map to. Then it creates the attributes & getter/setter methods, PK class, etc. all based on the table defintion automatically. Great. So why when I try to run my application do I get error messages for each EJB such as:
Auto-creating table: create table STREET_TYPE (PK_STYP_ID NUMBER(8), STREET_TYPE VARCHAR2(20), primary key (PK_STYP_ID, STREET_TYPE))
Warning: Error creating table: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
Huh?? I thought the idea is that the CMP EJB is mapped to the existing table in my schema. Why is the Container trying to create new tables?? Is this possible? Or am I missing something fundamental about how Containers create and manage CMPs? Or is this just a JDevelop container issue? TIA

I presume you are getting the problem on application
deploy? This happens when upon initialization of the application using the built-in OC4J container/app server that is part of JDeveloper. Here is the full messaging:

Why does black turn grey when creating a pdf from InDesign CS5??

Why do blacks turn to grey when I create/export a pdf from InDesign CS5?

Unfortunately, things like this are rarely glitchy little programming errors but deep, by-design, problems with using colour management. Usually you are getting exactly what you asked for, just not what you want, and the more colour management options there are, the more likely this is.
There are many possible causes, but one of the easiest to do is and hardest to spot is applying a CMYK profile in InDesign export, and a different one through Photoshop settings. This is actually demanding that colours be converted for the worst! Since your print workflow will be different, a work-around of rich black is likely to make things worse.
So the first thing to check is whether the colours you indended made it to the PDF, indeed. Output Preview is the first tool to use (as well as inspecting plates, you can hover over points to check the colour mix).
Also, go to your PDF export under the "Output" tab which includes colour and PDF/X. Either send a screen shot, or read off all of the the settings there.

Photoshop CC - Why does pasting a path always create a vector mask?

Used to be you could just paste a path and path it would be. Now however, under CC and CC 2014, it always seems to create a vector mask on whichever layer I'm on when I paste and select Path.
Is there some way I could stop it from doing this? I have to go to Paths, duplicate the vector mask to become a work path, then delete the vector mask. 2 unnecessary steps I don't really need when I specify Path, not Smart Object, Pixels or Shape Layer.

Crashing and not responding are very different behaviors.
What version of Photoshop CC are you using? Have you installed the updates to 14.2.1.?
What OS version are you using? Have you installed all the updates?
Are you running any third party plugins? Have you tried disabling them?

Trouble exporting photos: why does it say "unable to create?

I'm trying to export 100 jpegs to a folder on my desktop. After six or 7 have been exported, it stops, and I get the message 'unable to create'. No explanation follows.
What is happening? Does it have anything to do with the fact that some of my photos have been edited in Photoshop Elements? All have been saved as jpegs.

Not if you did it correctly using PSE as the external editor and saving (not save as) so iPhoto is updated properly
All have been saved as jpegs.
Does the photo where it stops have the same name as a previous file?
Try right clicking on the photo and selecting show file (or show original file if that is available)

Why does the "Simulation Model Converter" create a 1-D array when a subsystem is converted

Hi,
I want to convert a complex Simulink Simulation with many subsystems into LabVIEW VI. One Problem I have is the one in the subject. I attached a simple example Simulink file and the result of the "Simulation Model Converter" where my problem occurs.
In this example I have two equal block diagrams, with the differnce, that the one below uses a subsystem (that only contains a gain). But why is the data inside the sub system a 1D array? Is that necessary? If I change the array by hand into a normal constant, the simulation still works. Is there a way to prevent this wrong conversion.
Thank you

Hello Talvi,
I am guessing that you do not have Simulink installed on the computer where you are doing the conversion. If you do the conversion on a computer where Simulink is installed, you will get better results. This is mentioned in the help topic: Using the Simulation Model Converter. If you are still having trouble, can you please let us know which versions of the software involved you are using?

Why does the save page command create a new folder

I am new to CS5. When I "save" a file I've modified, or use "save as" -
either one seems to save the page in a complete folder including all graphics, etc.
Want to merely save the page with its corrections in the usual way.
Is there a setting in CS5 that does this that I can opt to turn off?
Many thank for any help on this problem. Al

(1) Our office computer has the full website - and the same folders that
are on the server. Essentially a mirror image. We were saving the corrected
html file into the folders we had already set up on the computer. Then FTP'd
it later.
(2) We set up the local site in DMW indicating that we will not be using
"server technology", "edit local copies on my machine and then upload to the
server," "files stored on my computer", "how to connect to remote server -
none" (we use a separate FTP program to upload).

Why does Xcode4 always crash on create/open project?

Xcode4 Final, always crashes when I try to create or open a project.
some history:
did not used the proper script to remove Xcode3, I deleted /Developer and rebooted
Xcode4 installed, removed with correct script. (3+ times)
tried to remove all xcode/developer files using locate/find.
tried to make an as clean new Xcode4 install.
Now the only thing i can think of is remove xcode4, locate any developer rest files. reboot, install xcode3 : now use the xcode3 uninstaller, reboot and install xcode 4.
If that still wont work, I think I have to cleanwipe my complete MBP
this is something i hope get rid off:

I don't think that would be necessary. A simple erase disk should suffice
One last thing to try is check ~/Library/Application Support and /Library/Application Support for any Apple/Developer or Xcode directories and remove them - after uninstalling Xcode again. It looks like it is crashing when it tries to access the SDK for your project. Instead of reporting "missing SDK" it is just crashing.

Why does the layout change when creating calendars in iPhoto?

Hi. How can I stop iPhoto from automatically changing the layout when adding photos to make a calendar?

Hi. Latest version of everything. Picture calendar theme. Let's say I choose the layout that uses 6 photos. I begin to drag photos where I want. Sometimes the layout stays the same, but sometimes the layout of the photos changes positions, even after I have placed a specific photo into a specific place holder. If I place a photo into a specific place holder, I would like it to stay there and not change positions. I am not an iPhoto user - I use Aperture, but I cannot create calendars from within Aperture - so it seems to me there ought to be a tick-mark someplace that I need to uncheck so iPhoto stops rearranging photos as I place them into the layout. I hope this make sense. Thanks for taking the time with with. It is appreciated.

Why does Firefox open multiple instances of .mht files?

Running laptop with WIN 7, I have changed the default program associated with file type for .mht files from Windows IE to Firefox.
Now, when I attempt to open a .mht file on my hard disc, Firefox then proceeds to open seemingly countless instances of the file. I stop Firefox after about 10-15 instances before I use up all my (4Gb) memory.

I think Firefox requires an add-on to open MHT files intelligently.
Two pop up in a search on the Add-ons site:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/tag/MHT
Maybe that will help? Or if you have one of them, maybe try the other?

Why does Notes (internal ML app) create a saved note every time I edit the one I'm writing?

Hello Folks!
My problem with Notes is the following. I'll explain it through an example because I think that's the easiest way to make it clear.
Well, I open Notes and start to write down a new note; suppose I type "Ask Sarah about course book" then I notice I made a mistake: it's not Sarah, it's Loren, so I edit my previous note to have "Ask Loren about course book", but at the end my result is not having only one note, I have two! One with "Sarah" and another with "Loren"! Now, if you think about this in a more general way, you can understand what happens on my Notes: I've not actually found a rule Notes follows to create these new different notes. I only know that whenever I write down a note I end up with a huge number of them, which are nothing else than the previous version of the same note.
Anyone has ever heard of this bug?

When you use IMAP, as opposed to "On my Mac," Notes will create a folder called "Notes" on the mail server. It will then store notes in there. If you create subfolders in Notes (which you can do), those will be stored as subfolders of Notes on the server.
So in the case of Gmail, you should be able to log onto your Gmail web account and the notes should probably show up in "All my Mail" with a label of Notes (this is because Gmail's IMAP implementation is VERY nonstandard and it doesn't actually support folders; it uses labels instead). If you view the Notes label in Gmail's web interface you should see all your notes.
Because of Gmail's IMAP implementation you should be very careful not to remove the "Notes" label from any of your notes if you're in the web interface, or they will disappear from the Notes app on OS X itself.

Why does the persona that I created get very large when I post it even though its the correct dimensions?

Every time we try and upload our persona, it shows up on screen very large. It seems like the dimensions are oversized and shows up on screen as only about 1/4 of the full design. Its like an extreme close up view of what what we built. We've built it to the specs provided on the site. If you want to check it out, the persona was created by Worth. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Why does moving application in Finder create duplicate application?

More importantly, how can I stop this "feature?"
I like to organize my apps. I would put those related to word processing in a "text" folder; those related to still or video images in an "images" folder, audio files in "sounds."
But I've noticed that, in Mountain Lion, if/when I drag an app to one of these folders, it leaves the original where it was and creates a duplicate in the folder.
Any way to stop this?

Problems you will experience moving apps from Applications or Utilities.
Any App installed by an installer, will either not update when updates are available or you will get a duplicate back in Applications or Utilities after running the update utility.
This can cause problems because you may continue to run the older duplication and either not get new functionality (or bug fixes) that you expect to see. Very frustrating.
Things may go along fine, until the next Mac OS X upgrade, then the old version of the app may start crashing because of changes to Mac OS X that the app depended upon have changed.
Another problem. There are apps that will use other apps, for example Mail may access Contacts, or there are apps that access System Preferences, etc... All of these interconnections wil fail if the dependent app cannot be found in its expected location.
You are not the only one that can be anal about where things belong.
The above examples are based on seeing users have these problems, many of which do not appear until months later, long after forgetting you moved things around and did not discover a duplicate was unintentionally created.
If you dragged an app to Applications or Utilities, then you are free to move that around to your hearts content. HOWEVER, if an installer placed the app in Applications or Utilities, it is best to leave it alone.
The use of Aliases which you can place anywhere you like, rename the alias as you please, even have multiple aliaes for the same app in different locations is a much more flexible and safer approach to organizing your apps.
It's my da*ned computer and I want to be able to do with it as I please. If I delete key files and folders, well then I have no one to blame but me.
Years ago, had the great good fortune to have to work in a UNIX environment. I learned what computing without a net is all about. . . .
Well then don't let us stand in your way . Fire up Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal, and you are in a Unix world. Use the 'sudo' command (see "man sudo") to get elavated privileges and have at it.
Although I suggest you have a full backup and save it away before you start using that 'sudo' command.

Why does my iCloud photo stream create duplicates of every photo?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Air, on which I store all my photos.
I routinely export my photos from my iOS devices to my MacBook Air, and view whatever photos that I have through photo stream.
On my iOS device and MacBook, though, every photo has a duplicate of itself, even though in the main library I only have one of each photo—no duplicates at all.
Why are duplicates showing up in my iCloud photo stream even though I have no duplicates in the actual library itself?

Hello ambenlandry,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
