Why to use Logminer

Hello,
Well I am trying to learn more about Logminer utility. We run exports on all our databases every week. Is there any way Logminer can replace the need to do full export and can still give same recovery options as in export ?
Thank you in advance

I've personally never tried that. If the online docs indicate a limitation with IOT's, I would tend to believe them.
For handling this sort of data loss, you may also want to consider wither DataGuard or flashback queries. You can use DataGuard to create a database that is always kept some number of minutes/ hours/ days behind the primary, so that if you inadvertently lose some data on the primary, you can just grab it from the standby. As a side benefit, you can fail over to the secondary database (after bringing it up to date) in the event of a hardware failure on the primary.
If your UNDO tablespace is large enough and your undo_retention large enough, you can also use flashback query to query a table as it existed at a point in time. This is a lifesaver when you discover the problem quickly (the "I dropped a table in *production*" moment) and is much quicker than restoring from an export or using LogMiner.

Error using Logminer, Please help !

I am trying to understand how to use logminer.
I have a database (oracle 9.2.0.4)and have completed the following steps:
1) set the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter.
2) Run the dbmslm.sql and dbmslmd.sql scripts
3) Created a directory and a file under that database
/oracle/vbi/eltest/logmnr/dict_01.ora
where :
Database name : eltest
Directory name: logmnr ( lrwxrwxrwx permissions)
Dict file : dict_01.ora (-rwxrwxrwx permissions)
4) I checked for the V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS, V$LOGMNR_DICTIONARY views just to make sure whether the dbmslm.sql and dbmslmd.sql were executed.
Now I am trying to extract the data dictionary to an external file, but it gives me error.
SQL> EXECUTE LOGMNR_DBMS_D.BUILD('dict_01.ora','/oracle/vbi/eltest/logmnr/', OPTIONS=>DBMS_LOGMNR_D.STORE_IN_FLAT_FILE);
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01336: specified dictionary file cannot be opened
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOGMNR_D", line 928
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOGMNR_D", line 2016
ORA-06512: at line 1
Can anyone please tell me why I am getting this error and what I need to resolve it ?
Thanks in advance.

could you post the utl_file_dir parameter value?
This is clearly indicates that the problem is related to the directory.

Most likely you have set the wrong file as the external editor. You don't want the obvious one; that's just a link to the welcome screen. Go back and choose this one, which is hidden away inside the folder Support Files:

I want to ask something about firefox. why firefox use very much memory? can you develop to reduce memory comsume? this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.

I want to ask something about firefox.
why firefox use very much memory?
can you develop to reduce memory comsume?
this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How much memory is Firefox using right now?
# Press '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to load the Task Manager window
# Click the Processes tab at the top. (Click once near the top of the window if you don't see tab
# Find firefox.exe, and see how many kilobytes of memory it's using.
Showing around 80MB when Firefox first starts is normal. Right now, I have 75 tabs open and it's using 500MB - this varies a lot depending on what you have in the tabs.
Other than high memory usage, what other problems are you experiencing? (Examples include slowness, high CPU usage, and failure to load certain sites)
Many of these issues, including high memory usage, can be caused by misbehaving add-ons. To see if this is the case, try the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]. Outdated plugins are another cause of this issue - you can check for this at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck

Why we use different clearing account for GR/IR and planned cost clearing a

My client ask for using same account for GR/IR account and all planned cost clearing account.
i try to convince it should be different accounts but he needs a logical answer.
Why we use different clearing account for GR/IR and planned cost clearing accounts?

Dear friend.
u just tell him while doing GR it will debited n while doing IR it should get credited.hence we need to take diff G/L account or same account.

HT201343 My MBP is Early 2011 but dunno why cant use mirroring with apple TV, the icon cannot be found

My MBP is Early 2011 but dunno why cant use mirroring with apple TV, the icon cannot be found. So cannot use mirroring.
I have follow trouble shooting , they recommend to go system preference -> display , thus can find out the mirroring icon if no mean it doesnt support. But according to the web, Early 2011 MBP should be able to use, dunno why.

Just realise I havent updated my OS to mountain lion and this is the reason why I cannot use mirroring before ^^
Thanks all

Thanks you in advance for your answers.Looking at the 8.1.7 doc set (the oldest available on tahiti) I get no hits when searching for 'dict_from_online_catalog'. Searching the 9.2 doc set turns up a reference. Looks like you are trying to use an option that isn't available in your version of Oracle.

What is the intelligent calc? Why we use that?

If u loads data to parent level where data will be stored?
What r the unary operators?
How do u decide dense & Sparse?
What is the header? Why we use header in the rule file?
Please give me reply dont say read dabg
Thank u.......

OK,
You have a database/application.
1. You might have had run the calculation( ie calc script).
2. after that , you might have loaded the data ,i.e you have infused new data and new data blocks.
3. For these new data blocks ,you have not run the calculation so far
4. so, now the intelligent calculation come into picture, with the help of the intelligent calculation concept, we can run the calculation on only the new data loaded or on only new data blocks,which you loaded
Hope this helps you in understanding the intellligence calculation in short.
One can enable and disable at his comfort ,and for that please refer to the following commands
SET UPDATECALC
SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS
this is to answer you intelligent calc.
1. when you load data into the parent level , it ll be stored at the parent level only.
2. when you go to "Dimension"' tab of the database properties, you can get which one is dense or sparse
3. in general ,you have a datafile ,and the upper most line is the one ,which has headers,so manipulate the same ,you use headers in the rule file.
I have not told you to refer DBAG , :)
But, you got to read DBAG or pick a bootcamp for you to understand further .

why to use B2B when we can go with A2A with FTP services running in the source and target systems.
why do we go for parties if the above one is possible.
plz help out im into loads of confusion

Hi
A2A is application to application: when two applications in a company talk to each other we call it an A2A scenario and if its across Companies we call it B2B or buisness to buisness scenarios.
All the following links will explain the difference between A2A and B2B
With scenarios

Why we use Cluster Tables in SAP Hr

hai friends, i am new to ABAP-HR and SAP HR, Actually i am core abaper ( working on SD, MM and Fi Modules ) , can any one explain me why and what is the use of Cluster tables in SAP HR, why we use in SAP HR function Module ?
Thnx in advance
Vijaya

Hi Vijaya,
This may help for ur question..
Why cluster table:
Cluster tables combine the data from several tables with identical (or almost identical) keys into one physical record on the database.
Data is written to a database in compressed form.
Retrieval of data is very fast if the primary key is known.
Cluster tables are defined in the data dictionary as transparent tables.
External programs can NOT interpret the data in a cluster table.
Special language elements EXPORT TO DATABASE, IMPORT TO DATABASE and DELETE FROM DATABASE are used to process data in the cluster tables.
PCL1 - Database for HR work area; (long text, etc)
PCL2 - Accounting Results (time, travel expense and payroll); (payroll results)
PCL3 - Applicant tracking data;
PCL4 - Documents, Payroll year-end Tax data (change logs, etc)

Why we use Sync-Async bridge?

Dear Manoj,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/55/c5633c3a892251e10000000a114084/content.htm
A distinction is made between synchronous and asynchronous communication for both imported interfaces and message interfaces. You define the mode of communication when you define an interface:
· In the case of synchronous communication, a response message is expected from the receiver after a request has been sent. Once the request message has been sent, no further messages can be sent until the response to the request has arrived back at the sender system.
· However, in asynchronous communication a (immediate) response is not expected. A sending process can send multiple messages to a receiver in a bundle and then continue executing the process.
You would use Synch - Asynch Bridge to enable the communication between a synchronously calling business system (synchronous outbound interface) and an asynchronously called business system (asynchronous inbound and outbound interface), you can define a sync/async bridge in an integration process. You can only define one sync/async bridge for each integration process.

Why to use Interface if methods are not implemented??

Hello,
I am having a problem to clearify as, why to use the interfaces which defines only methods and no implementation??
When a class implements an interface the methods are implemented by the class itself, don't you think that the same functionality can be achieved if the class defined the method itself...
The why to use interfaces, just that the same method name can be used by many classes or some other reasons..

did you google on that? There is lots of information I am sure explaining why you code to an interface defined type rather than a class defined type.
However, fundamentally you are correct, classes define their own type. The idea is that you use an interface because it allows you to have more than one implementation. Plus you can more easily change the structure of your program if you later wish if you did not use the class type directly.
You get better answers if you ask in the Patterns forum below.

Why we use Tables statement in case of using SELECT-OPTIONS:

hi all,
Why we use Tables statement in case of using the following coding in an ABAP program ...
tables: vbak.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s1 for vbak-vbeln.
here if we dont provide the tables statement why it does not work ????
pls answwer ....???

Hi
This statement is not allowed in classes and declares a data object table_wa as a table work area whose data type is adopted from the identically named structured data type table_wa from the ABAP Dictionary. table_wa must be defined as a flat structure in the ABAP Dictionary. You can specify database tables or Views for table_wa.
Work table areas declared with TABLES are interface work areas and should only be declared in the global declaration section of a program for the following purpose:
reward if usefull
The statement TABLES is required for exchanging data between screen fields that were defined in a program screen when transferring from the ABAP Dictionary and the ABAP program. For the screen event PBO, the content of the table work area is transferred to identically named screen fields; for PAI, the system adopts the data from identically named screen fields.
In executable programs, flat table work areas can be used for adopting data that were provided for the event GET table_wa from a linked logical database. TABLES is synonymous with the statement NODES for this purpose.
Work table areas declared with TABLES behave like the data declared with the addition COMMON PART, meaning the data are used by the programs of a program group.
Table work areas declared with TABLES can be declared in subroutines and
function modules. However, this is not recommended. A table work area declared in a procedure is not local but belongs to the context of a framework program. The table work area can be viewed starting from the declaration in the framework program and lives as long as the framework program. In contrast to normal program-global data, the content of the table work areas declared in subroutines and function modules is stored temporarily when these subroutines and function modules are called. Value assignments that were made during runtime of the procedure are preserved until the procedure is completed. When exiting the procedure, the table work areas are filled with the contents that they contained when the procedure was called. Table work areas declared in procedures behave like global data to which the statement LOCAL is applied in the procedure.
The form TABLES * is obsolete.

Why OSPF use wildcard mask? Not subnet mask?

Why OSPF use wildcard mask? Not subnet mask? Any advantage of using wildcard in OSPF? How wildcard in OSPF work? I saw some OSPF configuration for class b network use 0.0.0.255 as an OSPF wildcard mask. What does it mean? Is that mean to exchange only route information for the subnetwork?

hello,
with the use of a wild-card mask we can gain control over route update propagation.So we can define which networks should receive updates and which networks should not receive routing updates.Its just like wildcard masks used in ACLs.this is my view
cheers,
