Sqlplus issue..

Hi
when i try to connect to oracle 10g which is in a different unix box my sqlplus client is not able to look up the tnsnames.ora file.
when i copy the tnsnames and paste them in sqlplus command then i am able to connect.
can some one let me know how to make sqlplus read the tnsnames.ora and connect to the database.
thanks.

can you post the results for the following command...
echo $PATH
echo $TNS_ADMINyou may have to copy your TNSNames.ora file to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
If $TNS_ADMIN is not set then you may have to set it to
TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin; export TNS_ADMIN

Weird sqlplus issue.

Hello,
Recently I came across a weird issues using sqlplus, SELECT statement when typed in uppercase using MAX() function says "table or view does not exists"
e.g.
SELECT MAX(COLUMN_NAME) FROM TABLE_NAME;
When the above query typed with one lowercase character anywhere in the query then it works.
Basically, Oracle thinks it as a new query then executes it, but not when typed as above.
I'm using Oracle 11g Client and Oracle 10.2.0.5.0 as RDBMS server.
Any idea, what could be an issue?
Thx
Kam

Srvctl and sqlplus issue

Folks
I am having very weird issue. Need your help/opinion on this.
I have 2 node cluster, Solaris 10, 10.2.0.3 with CRS bundle. Installation went fine. No issue at all.
Now on one of the node (Node2), I am having problem.
Issue is:
If I reboot machine, everything comes up fine. But I can't do "sqlplus / as sysdba" to ASM as well as Database instance.
It says connected to idle instance. ps -ef |grep smon shows that both instances are up and running (ASM and Database). Even crs_stat shows, everything is up. Even "shutdown abort" doesn't work.
Now, When I shutdown instance using srvctl. and then start it up using sqlplus , it works. I am able to so sqlplus. BUT crs_stat shows instance DOWN. Also, if I try to stop instance using srvctl, it DOESNOT work.
So bottom line is , I can use either srvctl OR sqlplus in order to manage instances on that node.
I saw post on internet from Mike Ault describing similar situation and some other note on these forums also, but there is no solution. Also those problems are related to 11g only.
Re: srvctl issue
www.toadworld.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Y2Pd9kF64Wg=&tabid=234
Does anyone have any idea?
I have similar setup on Test environment and everything is working fine without any issue
Thanks in advance

Hi.
Maybe you can do a checklist :
- When you type : "sqlplus / as sysdba" what is the content of ORACLE_SID variable ?
- Check the healthy of CRS stack using crsctl check crc command.
- Check the OCR integrity (ocrcheck) .

Oracle DB sqlplus issue

Hi,
I have a Oracle Server DB 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 installed on my local pc. I've got only one instance (orcl).
When i try to run the command select * from idc_geraet with sqldeveloper i get the expected result, but if i run the same command with sqlplus i get an error saying that no rows are selected. I'm logged in at both with the same schema (scott). I've made a commit in sqldeveloper.
When i run the command select * from idc_person i get the expected result with both programms - sqlplus and sqldeveloper. How is that possible?
thanks for your help,
Armin

Hello!
I just found out that i forgott the commit. My PC was running in standby and i didn't end sql-developer, so i forgot that i hadn't made a commit
thank you

Unable to connect using sqlplus using Oracle 11.2.0.1 32bit(x86) client

I have database running on Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Linux 5.5 64bit. Another server where I have installed Oracle Client 11.2.0.1 32-bit (x86). (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-linuxsoft-085393.html).
But I can not do tnsping, I get segementation fault. Additionally, I can not to database using sqlplus <user>@SID. I get prompted for the password, then I am back the unix prompt again without any error.
For debugging, I installed 64bit version of the client, which can connect to database. I am using same version/copy of tnsnames.ora. No special character (^M) in the tnsnames.ora.
Any suggestions how do I get this fixed?
Thanks,
KP

I figure I should update my findings on the resolution.
during Oracle 11.2.0.1 client installation, there was an error/warning message about oracle net configuration assistant unable to run. So, I had ignore it thinking its benign and created the tnsnames.ora file manually. On a hunch after 9 days of debugging, i decided to look into this warning message, and found some info in the ora32Inventory/logs/installAction-<date>.log. It had following error about java when running oracle net config.
INFO: # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (1.5.0_17-b02 mixed mode)
INFO: # Problematic frame:
INFO: # C [libnnz11.so+0x3c35e]
So, I google the error, and after some research and reading, found an oracle patch to address this error:
ORA-24550: SQL*Plus 32-Bit Client May Crash On Linux X86-64 OS With AMD Processor [ID 1120724.1]
Patch info: 8670579 - DBBETA :NETCA/DBCA FAILED WITH HOTSPOT VIRTUAL MACHINE
Typically, this patch (8670579) is installed on Oracle RAC. however I tried on my app server (oracle client). It resolved my sqlplus issue and more importantly it resolve my application (Business Objects/BSAE) installation issue where it was unable to connect to oracle database using 11.2.0.1 client.
Cheers,

Oracle troubleshooting when I have no info in the alert log

Hello everyone,
I'm running Oracle 10g on Solaris 10. I performed a restore yesterday, and my DB instance was running smoothly. This morning I discovered that Oracle died on me "silently", that is, nothing was recorded in the alert log - the last entry in the alert log was the end of the restore.
No Oracle processes were running anymore on the machine, trying to log in via sqlplus issued the expected
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
The instance is running again after rebooting the machine.
Can I find clues about the crash, as the alert log hasn't anything for me?
Thank you,
Adrian

Thank you all for your ideas.
I looked in the /var/adm/messages (there's also /var/log/sysmsg which might be of some help) and found out that the machine was rebooted. Apparently, the Oracle instance hasn't been started properly afterwards.
The alert log mentions (before the crash) that 'alter database open resetlogs' was performed successfully, and I ran some applications after restore that accessed the DB - the instance was indeed running.
There is no other alert log (my attempts to bring up the DB the next day are recorded in the same file).

I think you are test ENV?
Did you archive the current log file which i mentioned in the earlier post
if so and if you the archived log
Shutdown the DB
Rename the file you copied

But make sure you have the backup before deleting/renaming the the file you backed up by HOTbackup

Transportable tablespaces with Logical Standby

Does anyone know whether or not transportable tablespaces can be used in a Logical Standby environment? I know they can be used with a Physical Standby, and the documentation covers how to do this, but there's nothing about Logical Standby. This is Oracle 10.2.0.4/SLES 10.
Thanks.

Using transportable tablespaces to a logical standby environment. Actually, there is a paragraph in the 10.2 Data Guard Concepts and Administration manual. I will summarize:
After creating the transportable tablespace export file on the source system, copy the datafiles to both the primary and logical standby systems.
On the dataguard logical standby, within SQLplus, issue SQL> alter session disable guard;
Import the tablespaces into the logical standby database
SQL> alter session enable guard;
Import the tablespaces into the primary database.
In 10.1, we imported the tablespaces into an environment with a physical standby and then converted the physical standby to a logical standby.
I tested the procedure for 10.2 and it seemed to work. Has anyone else done this and if so, are you aware of any issues? Like I said, the documentation is one very brief paragraph.
Thanks.

"FRM-40501: Oracle error: Unable to Reserve Record For Update or Delete"

"FRM-40501: Oracle error: Unable to Reserve Record For Update or Delete"
as I can unblock a session in the graphical surroundings of administration of the BD 10g of Oracle

From experience with this problem since the blocked customer form has been coded not to wait for the updating session to complete then there is likely no waiter on the system now so you cannot find the blocking session.
What you need to do is determine what row the Form was going after then using SQLPlus issue an update on the row. If the blocking session has not yet committed then this update will wait. Now if you look for blocking sessions you will be able to find it and make a determination if the session should be killed or if someone needs to call the user and ask he or she to flip through their screens and get out of the blocking screen.
Applications screens written not to wait on currently being updated data need to also be written to expose the information necessary to identify the row(s) in question.

Please answer. how to search for files

Hi,
We need an integration with SAP. They send us files in the format: yyyymmddhhmiss.atv
For example we receive following files:
20050503101115.atv
20050504101115.atv
20050505101115.atv
So, we dont know how to search for all files with extensions ".atv" in the directory.
We are using PLSQL. Is there some way to resolve with UTL_FILE?
Any other suggestion?

A possibility:
In sqlplus, issue a HOST command to list the files to a file:
ls *.atv > atv_dir.txt
Then use utl_file to read atv_dir.txt and parse it for the file names.
You could put the filenames in a pl/sql table and use that as loop control.

Setting hierarchy

Hello,
As I said you yesterday I want to create an analytic workspace containg a cube with 2 dimensions: products and time .

I built it and I set it is a value based hierarchy . But how I telll AWM relation is in hierarchy is a parent-child given by idprodus and idprodusparent?
Thanks in advance,
Aurel

How to Get HP Drivers After (DIY) Installing Windows?

Series: How to Re-Install Windows when you don't have the Recovery Discs
Intro: What is an ISO? Why is it used?
Step 1 - Get the ISO - ISO Download Links
Step 2 - Burn the ISO to a DVD or USB
Step 3 - What to do with the ISO DVD/USB? Change the Boot Order
Step 4 - What to do After Windows is Installed? How to Get HP Drivers?
Step 4 - What to do After Windows is Installed? How to get HP Driver?
Winodws is Installed, Now What?
Once the installation is complete, you'll need to go to your HP Driver Page and download all of your drivers. Your wireless function may not work automatically with a fresh install. You may have to plug an Ethernet cable into the computer and into your router to connect to the internet initially, until you have downloaded your wireless driver.
The best way to use the HP Driver Page, is by putting in your product number ('P/N' found on the HP label on the bottom of the computer) and click Go, rather than the 'Detect my product - Find Now' option. Without an HP Recovery Disc version of Windows, the 'Detect my product' option is not likely to work properly.
Another important note: If you had to go all the way into BIOS and change the Boot Order to the DVD drive (or USB), you'll have to go back into BIOS at your convenience and change the Boot Order back to booting from the internal Hard Drive first. If you used the F9 Boot Order Menu, it only changes the Boot Order temporarily, for that one power on iteration.
If you have any questions, create a new post (How to Create a New Post - Video), copy and paste it's link into a private message to me, and I will respond on your thread

Note down all the file names of the following queries first:
SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
SELECT NAME FROM V$CONTROLFILE
SELECT NAME FROM V$TEMPFILE
SELECT VALUE FROM V$PARAMETER WHERE NAME = 'spfile'
If the last query doesn't show any file then copy $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.ora file.
After making the list in sqlplus issue:
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
And now you can copy all of those files to some other location. Make sure you install same version of OS and Oracle to restore these files. It would be easy for you if you keep the same directory structure after reinstall and place all those files as they were earlier.
