Problem connecting with Oracle 9i Database

Hi Gurus,
I'm having problems with connecting to Oracle 9i Database.
I have a newly installed XML Publisher running on Windows XP SP3.
I can't get my data source connected to other server running Oracle Database 9i.
It keep on saying "Could not establish connection"
Im using jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:sid format , username/password are correct.
What seems to be the problem?
Hoping for your help.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
Let me clarify. I had an Oracle XML Publisher installed in my laptop (Windows XP SP3). I want to configure my XML Publisher to connect to a server
where Oracle Database is installed (Oracle 9i DB). I can connect to this database using SQL Plus, SQL Developer. My problem is that after configuring the JDBC connection in XML Publisher, i still can't connect to the said oracle db. The info are correct SID, Hostname etc. and still can't connect.
Hope this clarifies the situation.
Thanks

Forms 6i is not connecting with Oracle 11g database?

Forms 6i is not connecting with Oracle 11g database?
How to resolve this issue?

Hi,
Once you installed the Forms and Reports, you need to configure the paramters like tnsnames.ora in you path.
There will be one folder in the Installation path of Forms and Reports search for tnsnames.ora file..and you need to Updated the file as per the which ORACLE Server you are connecting and then try.. it..
Default path for forms will be "ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin".. search for tnsnames.ora and modify it..

Data services connectivity with Oracle 8i database

Query 1:
We are using Data services XI R3 for pulling data from Oracle 8i data soure to Oracle 10g target.
Our repository is also a 10g database.
We created a datastore for 8i source and tried to import the table.
Below is the error that we get when try to import the table:
Error: Cannot import metadata.
Oracle <....> error message for operation <OCIStmtExecute> : <ORA-00904: Invalid column name>..(BODI-1112338)
While creating datastore, we entered database type as Oracle.
We were able to import the table with same 8i source , target and repository of 10g version by using Data Integrator XI R2 tool but when we try the same thing with Data services, we are getting this error.
Any other alternative other than using System DSN?
Query 2:
Also,is there any performance impact if we use ODBC System DSN name as the data source instead of Oracle while creating data store in Data services XI R3?
We have used DSN since we were not able to import table from Oracle 7 and 8i databases(source) into repository (Oracle 10g) if we give Oracle as the data source. Target database is also Oracle 10g database.

the following issue is fixed in XI 3.2, you will be able to import the tables, but Oracle 8i and 7 are not supported oracle datastore versions, you will have to select oracle 9i in the datastore
Oracle <....> error message for operation <OCIStmtExecute> : <ORA-00904: Invalid column name>..(BODI-1112338)
no there is no other alternate than using ODBC

Problems connecting to Oracle 8i database

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 8i Enterprise on Win2k Server and created a database. Using Net8 Configuration tool, I have created service name. I was able to connect to this service but now for some reason I can't connect to this service, I tried setting up diffrent listener for this service at different port but that also is not working, then finally I ended up reinstalling 8i on same machine and now its not recognising the new database instance. The messages ,am getting is "TNS: no listener.." "TNS: Oracle ...service does not exist" in services all services and listeners are started. "listener.ora" and "tnsnames.ora" files have required entries. Please help or advise ASAP. (I was the one who pushed for Oracle in our company against MS-SQL server and now Iam realising the pain)

Can you connect to the database on the server, using SQL*PLUS? I have installed Oracle 8i on 2 Win2K Servers which are also Primary Domain Controllers; when rebooted, their databases are not automatically started, as it is on my other servers which are pure database servers; perhaps this is your problem. I cured mine with a call to server manager in the server startup, but I'm sure there's a better solution!
If the database is indeed open, from the command prompt try
LSNRCTL START which will start the listener or at least give you some more info as to the listener.How are you attempting to connect?

We cannot help if you don't give us the error number that you get.
Also something that you might want to do is to search this error number on OTN.

Configure the net configuration for both 9idb and 9ids in the same way. Make sure the TNSlisner is started.

1. Is the connection url correct?
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@PLANET:1521:ORCL" is fine.
2. Is the TNS listener started?
c:\oracle\product\ora10\bin> lsnrctl status
3. Is a firewall between client and database server?
Connection url with firewall would be different.

Connect Oracle 10g Developer with Oracle 8i database

Is it possible to connect Oracle 10g Developer with Oracle 8i database. If possible then plz guide how i can.

with Oracle Developer 10g 9.0.4 is no problem to connect to Oracle 8i.
with Oracle Developer 10g 10.1.2. you need the Patch 8.1.7.4 for 8i, i think.

Cannot establish connection with Oracle database

Hello
This is the first time I use BOE server with Crystal Report to execute some tests, and one issue is blocking me now, and I am not even sure if this is the right Forum where I should post it.
I installed BOE server XI 3.1 SP4 on Linux machine (new installation), and then I uploaded some existing Crystal Report templates that are working fine on another BOE server. Those CR templates have to establish a connection with a remote Oracle database to get the data, and we pass all credentials for this purpose.
The first time I run my first test I received this error that I could not find anywhere on the web :
ErrorLog 2011 8 10 7:05:52.505 14215 356 (Administrator:82) (../reporthandler.cpp:12462): CReportHandler::buildReportViewerError: CSResultExceFailed to open the connection." FileName:"../reporthandler.cpp" LineNum:12458 ErrorCode:756 ErrorMsg:"Failed to open the connection.
{FBAD55EE-BEAF-11E0-BC1C-005056813A72}.rpt" DetailedErrorMsg:""
I believe that the CR was not able to establish the connection with Oracle, so I install Oracle Client on the same machine (test remote connection ==> pass), I set the ORACLE_HOME variable, and I edit the file <installation_home>/ bobje/java/CRConfig.xml to add the path to ojdbc14.jar, and finnaly restart the tomcat server. However I am still getting the same error message.
Is there any hint that can help me troubleshooting this issue?
Thank you

do the reports use native oracle connectivity or JDBC ?
what version of Oracle client did you install ?
was it 32bit or 64bit client ?
what your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable set to ?
what does it say in the CMC when you look at CR report's DB properties ?

ASP application has problems working with oracle database 8.1.7

ASP application has problems working with oracle database 8.1.7 through both oracle ODBC driver and Microsoft ODBC driver
We have an ASP application running on Windows 2000 server, and with 8.1.7 Net8Client and MDAC 2.6 SP1.
The application worked fine with an Oracle 8.0.5 database.
After upgrading oracle database to 8.1.7.0.0, our ASP application works fine except when updating the same data record more than once. The application is not saving our updates.
We tested our application using Oracles ODBC driver v8.1.7.5.0
and experienced more problems. We had problems just bring up our data entry pages. In either case, we are returned with some 505 errors in our browser, problems with the ASP pages and IIS, the page is not displaying.
If anyone has some suggestions on how to fix my problem, please advise. Thanks in advance.

thanks...i saw one article with this approach..but the document did not present the detailed process...do you have one? i am still searching for a good procedure to follow...since it is an old database and focusing/studying old versions like this is a pain in the a**... :(

Kindly advise.Yes, you definately needed to mention that. That suggests you also have 3 $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directories, each with its own tnsnames.ora file. So you need to make sure you are hitting the correct one. I'd pick one to be the controlling one and set the TNS_ADMIN enviornment variable to point to it.

Regarding working with oracle spatial database connections

i have less time to finish my project

For database access from Java, you will use JDBC.
For the specifics of the oracle spatial database, you'll have to check the documentation/forum of Oracle.

Failover not working while connecting to Oracle 11g database

Hi,
We have a J2EE application that connects to Oracle 11g database.
The connection URL we are using is as below
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION =(SDU=32768)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=abc.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= xyz.hostname.com)(PORT=1525))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=PQR)))
The issue that we are facing is, the database failover is not working.The application only connects to the first host in the TNS entry.Evertime there is a failure in the connection to the first host,manual steps are required to swap the hosts.
This started happening after we upgraded Oracle DB from 9i to 11g.
We are using the client jar of 9i to connect to 11g. Could this be causing the problem?
Thanks In Advance.

Yes, you are right. Nothing else was updated.
The application still works as expected except the failover.If you are correct then I seriously doubt it has anything to do with java. It would be something to do with Oracle and/or network infrastructure.
If not then it is some small problem with the driver. You can try updating the driver but I wouldn't expect a fix.

Oracle 6i forms issue with Oracle 9i Database

Hi Friends,
I am having Oracle Forms Developer installed with patchset18.The Version is 6.0.8.27.0
When i connect the forms builder to 9i Database (9.2.0.1) the form builder is getting crashed but i am able to connect the forms builder to e-business suite database(9.2.0.6)
I tried installing 9i Database(9.2.0.1) on windows 2003 server,windows xp,windows 2000.
When i connect my forms builder to any of these databases the forms builder is crashing with don't send message error on (ifbld60.exe).
Is there any compatibility issue between forms builder(6i) and oracle 9i(9.2.0.1).Please suggest me.
Regards,
Arun .N

Forms 6i connects to Oracle 9 databases just fine, even though it is no longer certified by Oracle.
First of all, can you connect to the database with SQL Plus? Make sure that works first.
The other thing that comes to mind is the AL32UTF8 character set. Forms 6i and other older Oracle software cannot connect to databases using it. But I have only seen that problem with Oracle 10g databases, so I am not sure about the Oracle 9 db.
Here is a thread discussing the problem: Re: connecting form 6i to oracle database 10G express edition
