Powercenter Informatica Using a Oracle View as Source - plsql

I have an Informatica PowerCenter process that uses as Source (VIEW_SOURCE) and ORACLE View and as Target a normal database table.
The VIEW_SOURCE has normally about 500k/600k rows.
My problem is: The data from the VIEW_SOURCE is not inserted on totally on the Target Table. Some data, that exists, doesnt' go into table.
The PowerCenter process doesn't end in error, and there is no error in process.
Is possible, for instance, that we got a problem "rendering the source view", like a memory leak?

Prevent Access from Blocking ODBC Query Under Certain Conditions

I'm using Access VBA to call an R script that builds some charts. This R script pulls some data from the Access database via an ODBC query. I'm using library(RODBC) to make the connection from R.
If I restart Access, or run Compact/Repair, the query will always run. However, if I make other changes in the database, I'll sometimes get the following warning:
Warning messages:
1: In odbcDriverConnect(sprintf("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=%s", :
[RODBC] ERROR: state HY000, code -3810, message [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The database has been placed in a state by an unknown user that prevents it from being opened or locked.'
And the script fails to run, because the connection couldn't be made.
What's the best way to manage/set the state of the database so the query will always run? The issue isn't directly linked to whether a table is open or not - I can open a table, and close a table, and not have an issue, and even run with a table open, sometimes.
Edit: The error is caused by making any sort of change in a VBA module (this is unrelated to the actual VBA call of the script, I can run the same rscript call in the command line and replicate the error). Now that I understand that's the cause, I don't think it's a big issue. Saving the VBA module sometimes seems to correct the error, although not 100% of the time.
This is by design.
Making any design change to a VBA module, form or report sets an exclusive lock on an accdb file, which remains until the Access application that has made the change closes.
Just close and re-open the file after making any design change to a form, report or VBA module.
This is one of the reasons people recommend you split the database, since then you can change the design without locking people out of the data.

Open an existing SQLite database in memory with Lua

The code in my project now:
local lsqlite3 = require "lsqlite3complete"
self.db_conn = lsqlite3.open("cost.db")
function showrow(udata,cols,values,names)
assert(udata=='test_udata')
for i=1,cols do
print('',names[i],values[i])
end
return 0
end
self.db_conn:exec('select * from cost',showrow,'test_udata')
It is no problem to select the cost records from the code above, but if I change like below and try to open it in memory:
self.db_conn = lsqlite3.open_memory("cost.db")
The code has no error but there is no records or tables inside when I do the query. How can I change my code so that I can open and put my database inside memory? Since I would like to access my data quickly in memory instead of keep connecting to a database.
A memory database is one that exists only in memory. That is, it doesn't get its data from a file. Because of that, open_memory doesn't take any parameters.
If you want to use a database that lives in a file, then that means accessing that file.
You should not need to "keep connecting to a database". You connect to it once at the beginning of the application and keep it open until your application terminates.

Checkpoint table does not exist even after creating it

I have created checkpoint table ggate for replicat rep1 but still I am getting following error:
2014-09-04 23:38:21 ERROR OGG-00446 Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for
Oracle, REP1.prm: Checkpoint table ggate.checkpoint does not exist.
Please create the table or recreate the REP1 group using the correct
table.
2014-09-04 23:38:21 ERROR OGG-01668 Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for
Oracle, REP1.prm: PROCESS ABENDING.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve it?
In this kind of situations you should:
Have you actually run the ADD CHECKPOINTTABLE? if not run it
Check if the checkpoint table actually exists in the database - if it has been created - try to drop it (DROP CHECKPOINTTABLE) and recreate it (ADD CHECKPOINTTABLE)
Check if the checkpoint parameter is correctly set in the GLOBALS config file
Restart the MGR and Extract/Replicat processes
Verify if the user has access on the database to the checkpoint table (insert, update, delete rights)
If nothing works, run 10046 flag on the target database and check what the GoldenGate Replicat process is executing on the database and when it actually fails (what it wants to do on the database and try to do the same commands by yourself)
This is a simple troubleshooting initiative:
Are you using a traditional non-CDB database or a PDB?
Are you using Classic Architecture or Microservices Architecture? - Different approaches when adding a checkpoint table.
How are you running ADD CHECKPOINTTABLE? From GGSCI/AdminClient or from HTML5 page?
In Classic Architecture, do you have CHECKPOINTTABLE parameter set in GLOBALS? (CHECKPOINTTABLE [container.] owner.table)
Who are you logged into the database as when using DBLOGIN USERIDALIAS?
What replicat are you using? - Classic, Coordinated, Integrated, Parallel?
Check the schema where the table is suppose to be? If not there, you can query the DBA_TABLES view for the name of the checkpoint table and see who owns it.
A lot of times when the checkpint table cannot be created it is due to not updating the GLOBALS file and/or connecting as the correct user to the database.

Timeout when uploading images

I am currently testing Tridion 2011 and am having problems creating multimedia components with uploaded content (as opposed to external).
I fill out the title, schema, multimedia type, select a file from my system then click save. I get a Saving item... information message then approximately 30 seconds later I will receive a The wait operation timed out message.
There doesn't appear to be any error messages in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\log directory. Looking at the event viewer I see the following information relating to the save action
Unable to save Component (tcm:4-738361).
The wait operation timed out

I already have my timeout settings in the Content Manager Snap-In set to high values (more than 10 minutes) due to another issue.
The BINARIES table in the Content Manage Database is 25GB if that helps.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Edit 1
Following suggestions from Bart Koopman, my DBA has rebuilt the indexes but does not reckon the Transaction log has any impact on performance. The problem persists.
Edit 2
I have just found more details of the error
Unable to save Component (tcm:0-0-0).
Timeout expired.
The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
A database error occurred while executing Stored Procedure "EDA_ITEMS_UPDATEBINARYCONTENT".EDA_ITEMS_UPDATEBINARYCONTENT
After taking a look at this procedure it looks like the following statement could be the root cause
SELECT 1 FROM BINARIES WHERE ID = #iBINARY_ID AND CONTENT IS NULL
I execute it manually with #iBINARY_ID as -1 and after 2 minutes it still hasn't completed. I assume that when I insert a new multimedia component the query will be something similar (i.e. the id will not exist in the table).
The BINARIES table currently has a NON-CLUSTERED Primary Key. Maybe the solution would be to change this to a CLUSTERED Primary Key? However, I assume it is NON-CLUSTERED for a reason.
Just had a response from SDL customer support. Apparently this is a known issue related to statistics and the chosen query plan.
Running the following statement manually from SQL Server Management Studio fixes the problem (it didn't even need to complete for me)
SELECT 1 FROM BINARIES WHERE ID = -1 AND CONTENT IS NULL
Hope this helps someone else out!
Timeouts on database operations are usually an indication of a misconfiguration or a lack of maintenance. By increasing the timeout you are just working around the problem rather than solving it.
With a binaries table that big you will want to make sure you have proper database setup with data files that are separated from your log files (separated on different physical partitions/disks) and possibly even multiple data files on multiple physical partitions to take advantage of performance gains.
Next to that you will want to assure that the standard database maintenance is performed daily/hourly. Things like backing up and truncating the transaction log every hour will greatly improve your database performance (on MS SQL Server a transaction log of more than 1GB slows the database down drastically, you should always try to keep it below that size through timely backup/trucate). Updating statistics and rebuilding indexes is also something you should not forget on a regular basis.

sqlite3 - Exception: database disk image is malformed

i'm working with IronPython 2.6 for .Net4 and sqlite3 module from: IronPython.SQLite.
i have a written a GUI program what runs in four frames of an MDI window. Every of the four programs receives data from a serialport and stores this data in a sqlite database. One database per program.
Between inserting this data on receive into the database the program querys the database every 100ms for the latest data items.
I'm already using a mutex call for the cursor.execute() command to prevent problems with simultaneous commands (insert or select).
During runtime the program (sporadically) runs into an exception.
When trying to query data:
System.Exception: database disk image is malformed
or when trying to insert data:
System.Exception: database or disk is full
Is it possible, that an database query short after an database insert (or the way around) could cause such exceptions and destroy the database?
It would be very kind of you, if you could give me a kind of advice how to solve this issue.
