Oracle 10g, Enterprise Manager give “Page Not Found” Error
System:
OS: Windows Server 2003 Sp1
Database: Oracle 10g (10.2.3.0)
Problem:
There are two Oracle databases, one of them gives “Page Not Found” when accessed from Oracle Enterprise Manager. This server was upgraded from Windows 2000 and Oracle 9i.
Solution:
pre-requisites:
SYS, SYSMAN, and DBSNMP password. Oracle_SID, and Listener port number.
Steps:
Drop existing EM configuration:
C:\Data> set ORACLE_SID=
C:\Data> emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
Recreate the EM environment:
C:\Data> emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
Note: if the above steps is failed, you might need to drop SYSMAN user manually before continue. Refer to here for more information. In my case, I do not need to drop the SYSMAN.
Once it completed, you will find a new shortcut for the EM in the Start -> Program Files -> Oracle Orahome
If your user unable to log on to database using EM with the following Error message:
“The application requires more database privileges than you have currently been granted. Click on Help to get more version specific information.”
Add the following role to that user:
– SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE
– SELECT ANY DICTIONARY
Hope this helps someone out there!

Paypal Verification using Credit Card Issued by Indonesian Bank
Many has told that credit cards issued by Indonesian Banks are not able to be used to verify Paypal account. This is not true anymore, at least for credit cards issued in Indonesia by two banks as I described below.
Last week I talked to my friend, and our conversation lead us to online payment method, and he said that he could use his Credit Card from Niaga Bank to verify his Paypal account.
Later on I also open a Paypal account and use my Citibank Credit Card for verification.
The verification methods is as follow: Paypal will charge for USD 1.95 , and provide 4 digits unique number in their billing statement to us. This 4 digits number then be used to verify our Paypal account. After successful verification, Paypal will return back our money.
In a couple days I received the billing statement from Paypal in my credit card account (I check using Internet Banking facility), then I go to my account on Paypal insert the 4 digits unique number there, and instantly I become a verified Paypal user with personal account type.
After a few days, when I login to Paypal, I see that I received bonus of USD 1.95 from Paypal. This nominal resides on my Paypal fund. Looks like that is how they return back the charge 🙂
To withdraw money from your Paypal personal account there are two ways; withdraw to your credit card account or withdraw to your Bank account. If you want to withdraw to your Indonesian credit cards, there is a USD 5 costs. You could also set up your bank account as your withdrawal destination. If you withdraw for amount of more than Rp.1.500.000 there is no withdrawal costs.

In the Shoulder of Walking Giants
One day I was called to support neighboring platform site, regarding some problem with their Plant Process Historian software. This site had raised the issue to high level management as this particular node is critical for process analysis. So I was required to be transferred to that site to support recovery effort on the next day.
After getting complete log files and descriptions of the problem, I click the Google Desktop shortcut, enter some description, and not too long, I got the solution. This problem once happens a couple years back and there already some resolution and conclusion. So I mail the solution steps and receive some feedback. On the next day I come confidently to that site and having a nice handshakes and congratulation words.
There are several giants helping me this time; my three years old and growing Outlook Mailbox, the internal discussion forums from which my mailbox get mails, my five gigabyte reference documents and project files. And last but not least: Google Desktop the desktop search tool.
My mailbox, the forums, those documents, and the search tools are there by the efforts of thousands persons, together they are giants, they are growing and walking. What an honor and so much luck for me to stand on their shoulder.
Yet, so great is the knowledge base it won’t very much useful without the proper tool. There come Google Desktop unifying and indexing those knowledge together.
There are many desktop search tools around, but this one come with the simple web based interface we are so familiar with, plus you get a nice side bar and cool gadgets.
This post is dedicated for those who shares and publish their knowledge and opinions so that others would have a bright day.
Thank you.

This is about Dell Poweredge SC1430, the Open Manage CD included with the machine not provide W2k as option on the installable operating system.
It gaves the SATA RAID driver indeed in the Open Manage CD, yet it gives you a blue screen first time you boot your new OS.
Finally I find the working driver on the this page. This one works greatly.
Hope this would help someone out there.
