View 4 RepliesI am on a font manager project. One of the features is to install the new font file. My understanding by "install" is to copy the file to the system directory Windows/fonts (correct me if I am wrong in this part). When I tried to use the java copy file api to do so, not surprisingly I got the access denied exception.
1. How can I do a "force-copy" of file into the system directory?
2. If that's not proper way, how can I create a "shortcut" like a softlink of the file into the system directory?
I have written make files that compile .pc files in unix. This was for several projects that use an oralib source code directory.Just running proc on one target .pc file works fine on unix. I am trying to use proc - Oracle 10.2.0 - in windows and I keep getting:
Quote:unable to open include file
#include <stdio.h>
and other C library headers.
I am doing all development under cygwin, this way I can write a makefile just like under unix instead of using nmake.All C library headers are in /usr/include When I run proc on Solaris as that:
proc program.pc
No problems, and I do get program.c.
However in windows I get the previous error message. I have tried to do proc include=/user/include program.pc and proc include=/user/include parse=full program.pc but I still get the same error message.
I want to compare two dump files and their respective log files, to see the difference. Is there any way.

I recovered dbf and ctl files, how to mount that database again. Using oracle 9i.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a customer that was backing up his data by copying the oracle data XE folder (all .dbf files) to a backup drive. His server crashed and he formatted it and reinstalled the database 11g from scratch.
Now he needs to re-attach the .DBF files, is there a way?
I've got a legacy SAP system with oracle 8i on Tru64. No changes at all are made but for legal reasons we have to keep it up and running.
we currently do a full backup monthly by shutting down oracle and doing a backup of all the files to tape and that takes around 12 hours.
If I stop doing the full backup and I only backup the control file and the archived redo log files every month and I had to restore the full database years from now, would I be able to restore the database using the last full monthly backup and use the latest control file and archived redo log files?
I am an absolute neophyte at this. I'm fairly good at SQL, but have not administrated a database before.
I am trying to take a backup from our production database and restore it to a fresh install of Oracle 10.2 on a Windows 2003 server using RMAN - but I am not getting very far. Software versions are all the same. I have access to the manuals, but it seems like every link I follow adds more questions than it answers.
I have gone through the wizard and set up oracle on the new box - that all seemed to go smoothly. In order for this to work, do I need to set up the database with the same DBID as the one in the backup files? Or is there a way to import the data from the backup and have it build the database from those files?
I'm not sure I'm even asking the right questions. Do any of y'all know of a tutorial that would walk me through this process step by step?

I have a big problem that came up latly which is importing XML files into oracle database.The point is that I have extracted whole PostgreSQL database into XML files - 236 tables - 1 XML file for every table and now I'm about to import them into Oracle tables. First of all, I would like to point out that I already have the structure of all the tables in oracle database, the files only carry the data (records) that need to be imported into oracle.
I've been trying to make it running and I can't do anything more serious about it for over a week..I will show You all example:
insert into ps_sprawozdania(miesiac, umowa_rok, umowa_nr, nr_korekty, nazwa, data_potw, data_exp, status_potw)
select
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/miesiac'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/umowa_rok'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/umowa_nr'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/nr_korekty'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/nazwa'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/data_potw'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/data_exp'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/status_potw')
from table(xmlsequence(xmltype(bfilename('c: est','ps_sprawozdania.xml'))));
That was one of my attempts to import data from file "ps_sprawozdania.xml" into table "ps_sprawozdnaia" into oracle. Here are 2 records from the XML file to show you Its structure
<NewDataSet>
<Cust>
<miesiac>7</miesiac>
<umowa_rok>2008</umowa_rok>
<umowa_nr>051/210412/01/000/08</umowa_nr>
<nr_korekty>0</nr_korekty>

And That log file consists which code is deleted. And the user name who deleted the code, time and deleting status..
Now my requirement is i have to develop a report to display the log file data. But i don't have a database table to retrieve the data. The data consists Log files. How to transfer the Log files in DB table.

I have a question in Recovering the database.
E.g. Backup has done yesterday and today evening all files are lost (control, redologs, archive, etc.)
We are in 24/7 environment then how we need to recover the database?
: I noticed three data files on my standby show's they are corrupted. What will be the easy and fast way to sync them up from my production database?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe're currently in a situation where the primary database server fs size does not match the standby database server fs size.
Standby database filesystem is almost 100% utilized, and we suggested to move some of the datafiles first to avoid threshold alerts and archive gaps.
Now, if we're gonna move datafiles on the physical standby, I believe the process would be stop managed redo apply -> shutdown standby -> OS move -> startup mount -> alter rename -> start managed redo apply. Is this correct? If not, how?
Also, would it have an effect if the controlfiles of primary and standby do not match because of the movement?
I have the following situation: a customer sent me a group of files, that he said to be a "backup" of an old database, that is no longer online (he doesn´t use our software anymore). However, he needs to recover the data in this database. The person at the company who generate these files doesn´t work there anymore, so we don´t have any of the following information:
- Database version, connection details, service names, user names neither tablespace names.
We were just told that these files were recorded in a DVD, and is que only source remaining.
The files he sent are the following:
ctrlcf_satp_01.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_02.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_03.ctl
daddf_satp_dad_01.dbf

Is there a way to access this data? Or can I tell our costumer that your data is lost forever..
I wanted to copy some archive log files between 2 DB Server.Steps:
1) Edited the Local and Remote DB's TNSNAMES file and modifyied like below.
bookstore =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.80.100.28)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = BOOKSTORE)
)
)
2) Created a Source Directory --> DR1
3) Created a Target Directory --> DR2
4) Created a DB Link
CREATE DATABASE LINK LINK1 CONNECT TO <username of the Remote DB> IDENTIFIED BY <Password> USING '<Remote DB Name taken in the TNSFILE>.
5) In the Local Server I had written the below command.
create or replace procedure proc1 is
cursor c1 is select recid,substr(name,37) "ARCH_FILE" from v$archived_log;
var1 c1%rowtype;
begin
open c1;
fetch c1 into var1;

It is working, but not coping the Files from Local To the Remote.

We have a host for restore purposes. We execute monthly or quarterly restore operations to verify that I am able to restore a subset of the data in the given amount of time or to other purposes. I have a automated script to Clone the Database, but to Clone Database we need remove the old database from ASM before start this operation. I want remove only Database files and keep the configuration (such as oratab/network/ocr and so on).
Question: There is a easy way to remove these files without connect on ASM or by using DBCA?
I was carrying out an experiment in order to crash the database and recover it.
The database was running, I moved the control file to another location and to my surprise the database was still running. I tried issuing checkpoint and transaction but it didn't affect database operations. I tried doing log switch. It completed successfully. According to my understanding and Oracle Certification books database was supposed to crash. But it didn't.
I tried this not only on RHEL, Windows XP but also in Solaris 5.10. The database version is Oracle 10.2.0.4 Standard Edition.

i am developing application where user will be browsing the file from local pc which then will be loaded into oracle db not At OS DIRECTORY .
I am trying to upload a database backup on a machine. Since the structure of files is different from server, how can i start the database.
Do i need to create a new control file? If yes, how can i run the sql command "Alter database backup controlfile to trace" in nomount mode.
I would like to ask you if you know which built-in can I use for transferring a excel file from our Unix box to a table in oracle database, right now we are using webutil_file_transfer.Client_To_DB_with_progress using forms developer, but I need to run as an automatic process uploading form unix into oracle directly without using forms.

There is a report that is generated everyday in the .csv file format that i would want to load into the database. I want to completely automate this process. I don't want to use the load function available in APEX. I use APEX 3.2 Version.
What i mean by automation is that i will create the CSV file and automatically move to a location from which APEX can access the data. I would then write a procedure to fetch the content directly from CSV file and write to the database. What i need is the location from which APEX can access data directly ?
How to transfer redo log files to standby database..
View 1 Replies View Related1> Does dataguard in 10g use ftp/rsh to transfer archived log files to standby database or some other protocol?
2> In my primary database, archives are getting generated normally, there is no error in alert log file. But archives are not getting transferred to standby database. I am able to connect through sys user from primary server to standby database & vice versa.
Also, tnsping is working fine.
All was working fine till 2 days back & no parameter has been changed from database side. I am not able to transfer the file manually through FTP to standby server. Does it is the problem? Or dataguard doesnt use FTP protocol to transfer the files?
