10.2.0.1 Installation - Invalid NULL parameter for PORT?

Hi,
I've recently installed 10.2.0.1 having previously done a full de-install, following the Installation guide but came upon a problem during the Database Configuration stage. The pop-up error dialog said:
Enterprise Manager Config failed due to Invalid value null for parameter PORT
Refer to the log file C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\dbca\orcl\emConfig.log
You can retry configuring this database with Enterprise Manager later by manually running C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin\emctl script
The log file stated 03-Apr-2008 13:08:37 oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfig perform
SEVERE: Invalid value null for parameter PORT
Refer to the log file at C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\dbca\orcl\emConfig.log for more details.
03-Apr-2008 13:08:37 oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfig perform

Running emctl manually didn't have any effect. So I'm stumped. Hope someone can help!

No one else has responded with a better answer than the one I'm thinking so here's mine:
I've installed 10.2.0.1 many hundreds of times and never seen this error.
Use the installer to deinstall the software from your machine.
Go to http://docs.oracle.com and get a copy of the installation instructions and read them.
Follow the instructions.
If you still have a problem ... it is a Windows problem and you should be very suspicious of your antivirus software. One reason most of us threw away Windows long ago.

  • Getting error Invalid length parameter passed

    Hi,
    I'm getting an error running my query. It say "Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING  function. I will be getting the string in between of hyphen using the code below. May i ask your assistance or idea on how to fix this issue.
    thank you.
     Substring(ins.itemid,11,CHARINDEX('-',ins.itemid+'-',11)-11) AS MODEL
    Msg 537, Level 16,
    State 3, Line 1
    Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING
    function.
    Sample data of Itemid.
    B300-4410-ONEMAX-U
    B300-1725-XWHT-U
    B300-3110-VT981-U
    B300-1720-DRZRKCROBLK-U
    B300-1720-DRDTHN32BLK-U

    That'll cause empty strings to show up into you're result set but shouldn't cause the the SUBSTRING function to fail. 
    The error is the result of the SUBSTRING function trying to bring back a negative number of characters.
    Try running the following and see what comes back...
    SELECT ins.itemid
    FROM dbo.TableName ins
    WHERE LEN(ins.itemid) < 11
    If you don't find any itemids what are less than 11 characters (I'm 99% sure you will), try using a little test script like the following to test suspect values...
    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL
    DROP TABLE #temp
    GO
    CREATE TABLE #temp (
    itemid VARCHAR(30)
    INSERT #temp (itemid) VALUES
    ('B300-4410-ONEMAX-U'),
    ('B300-1725- '),

  • Log Error : Invalid Input Parameter %s for every SAP B1 Client

    Hi Everybody,
    in my company we have performed SAP B1 upgrade from 2007A to 8.81 PL07, in two steps upgrading first to PL04.
    Everything is working fine for all our clients, we are able to post and work normally with the system.
    The only annoying problem is an error message coming up every minute for every client in the log:
    SQLMessage       Error              I     Technical     Invalid input parameter: %s # #     MID=-1     BOID=-1     BO=     UserID=manager     C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One\SAP Business One.exe     Version=8.81.315     Area=     PID=1316     TID=4340     D:\depot\BUSMB_B1\8.8_SP1_REL\SBO\8.8_SP1_REL\Application\__Engines\DBM\__DBMC_DataBase.cpp     9547
    I couldn't find anything regarding this topic in the forum, only one similar post but unanswered.
    We are using two server: one for the licence server and one for the database (the database server is clustered)
    Does anyone have any idea about this? Has it ever happened to anybody?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Julie,
    it must be a triggered action from the system. The only problem is that log files grow very big, few mb every day, and it is a situation that's not very ideal. And also i don't want to turn them off because it is always a good resource for other errors.
    It is very strange that SAP hasn't noticed this behaviour and there isn't any note available for the purpose.
    Thanks for your help

  • Null values not allowed in object-parameter for esb proxy invocation

    When I create a proxy service for my esb webservice and try to invoke this service from my ADF Application I was always getting the exception 'unexpected null value for literal data'.
    I've figured out what went wrong through debugging the proxy-classes of the esb-service.
    You need to define an input-value for each attribute of which your object is constituted. After I've initialized each variable in the object, which is the input-parameter of my esb proxy, everything works fine.

  • Error occurred in deployment step 'add solution' value cannot be null Parameter name: g

    Hi!
    I have a SharePoint Server 2013 with latest updates. Worflow Manager 1.0 installed and configured correctly. The server has a website, site temblate is Reacods Center. This site is default. On the site I created a blank Document library "TestLib"
     If I create workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013, workflow works normally. Workflow set Title of element to "MyCustomTitle" and Write to History string "Done!".
    If I create Empty Solution in Visual Studio 2013, insert into solution Workflow and make same actions, my solution at deployment step fails with error:
    "error occurred in deployment step 'add solution' value cannot be null Parameter name: g"
    Please, help me to resolve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    What if stop this service, then start it again, perform an iisreset? It will make the change applied to the whole farm.
    Also, you can check the ULS logs to see if there is any unexpected error occurs when deploying this solution.
    About how to check the ULS logs:

  • Error during installation:"Invalid Eclipse platform version" (have 3.0RC3)

    I saw a new version of bpel designer on otn for download. As I hoped that it would solve my previous problem ('db schema not found') I downloaded and tried to install it.
    Unfortunately I get an error during installation: "Invalid Eclipse platform version". I know that at least version 3 has to be installed. The .eclipseproduct file tells me that it is version 3.0.0. I have downloaded and installed the Eclipse SDK 3.0RC3 version a couple days ago. So it looks like that the version is OK. But I can't get around this error message.
    Any ideas?

    I've downloaded the GA version of Eclipse and it works now.
    During the installations I saw some minor things that I'll share with you:
    - path to the bpel server can be left empty, however there is a '/' already. So you have to chose a directory or delete it before you can go further otherwise an error appears. Maybe it is easier to not have the '/'.
    - I wanted to have the designer and PM in the same directory. But choosing the same dir led to a warning for overwriting the dir. I didn't dare thus now I have 2 dir's. ( 1 for designer and 1 for PM).
    -After installation I don't have entries in 'Start''Programs''oracle' to start the PM. This was also the case with the previous version. I start PM via the 'bat'-files under the PM/bin dir.
    - starting the batch file: startOraBpel.bat starts with an error; "The system cannot find the file C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /e:4096."
    - Last but not least: I hoped that this would solve my re-install problem 'cannot lookup db schema version' but unfortunately that's not the case.

    What does your own research of 'ORA-00205' indicate?
    the text of the error message is pretty self explanatory .. it couldn't find the control file.
    The control files are specified by the "control_files"  initialilzation paramter.  When you get this error, the instance has started but was unable to mount the control file.  since the init file (spfile) was processed and the instance started you can easily see what it thinks are the control files.

  • CustomLoginModule always error "Invalid null input: name"

    Does anyone know this message and the solution?

  • Invalid value 0 for parameter login/password_chang

    Hi experts,
    When users log on with passwords the system checks whether the password needs to be changed.Possible reasons for changing the password are that it is set to initial or has expired. If the logon is through an SSO certificate, rather than through user/password query, parameter login/password_change_for_SSO is used to determine how the system should behave.Example: login/password_change_for_SSO=0 then the obligation to change the password is ignored.
    However when we set the value to 0, we get the folowing error:
    "Invalid value 0 for parameter login/password_chang"
    Any ideia? We are using SRM 2007.
    Thanks in advance,
    Paulo Andrade

    Hi,
    old post, but I had the same problem. If someone has simular problems also, this may be helpful.
    Setting vmin to 0, as Ricardo writes did not work for me, the field was clear after saving the record. But setting "VMIN SET" to "X" did resolve my problem.

  • Invalid reference parameter in distribution list

    Hi all!
    I want to distribute a very simple report that has a user parameter 'P_1'.
    The basic problem I have is to reference this parameter P_1 in my distribution file:
    I always get the following error message:'Invalid reference parameter '&P_1' in distribution list.
    <destinations>
    <file id="MyFiles" name="&amp;&lt;P_1&gt;_test.pdf" format="pdf" instance="all">

    </file>
    </destinations>
    Any idea what's wrong here?
    Thanks
    Thorsten

    Please try with encoded versions of these special params (Since they have special meanings in XML )
    & --> &amp;
    (less than) < --> &lt;
    Greater than > --> &gt;
    So the param becomes - &amp;&lt;P_1&gt;...
    This is explained in doc
    (HTML) http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/A92102_01/title.htm
    Please See chapter 9 - Creating advanced distributions
    NOTE: (from docs)
    There is no special requirement for the greater-than symbol (>)used with variables, but for consistency, we recommend that you use the encoded version (&gt;).

  • Invalid Evaluation Parameter in line 0.  SPecified Depreciation Area

    Hi! Im using SBO 8.8 PL 11
    Upon adding new fixed asset master data, im encountering the error "Invalid Evaluation Parameter in line 0.  SPecified Depreciation Area"...
    Also, the selection list of the existing masterdata is available.   However, after i chose an item, no item is retrieved in hte fixed asset masterdata form.
    Help.  What do i need to check or do??
    Camille

    Hi,
    From previous reported issues on this, our experience is that the cause of this issue is the version of SQL server.
    Referring to B1 8.8 install CD\Documentation\SystemSetup\ AdministratorGuide_SQL.pdf, you will find the following part:
    To properly use the SAP Business One Fixed Assets add-on on Microsoft SQL Server 2005, make sure that you have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP3 installed.
    Upgrade MS SQL Server to SP3(build 9.0.4035), or SQL Server 2008(build 10.0.1600), the fixed assets should be working.
    Let us know if this helps,
    Jesper

    Checking the list of form ID's at [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/892] shows the A/R Credit Memo as 179 and the A/P Credit Memo as 181.  This also corresponds with what I see when viewing the system information on the form.

  • X11 BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)

    Hi everyone!
    Here is the issue:
    Im using X11 to access and SGI (Silicon Graphics) IRIX system. I had it working once, then I rebooted both machines and never again has it worked. When I run the command
    Xnest :1 -query 192.168.X.X
    the IRIX login window appears and I can log in and then all the desktop elements show up as they should except windows. When ever I try to get a window open from a tool bar or console window I get this on the sgi's console and nothing happens:
    X error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
    Major opcode of failed request: 128 (XINERAMA)
    Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (XINERAMAGetState)
    Resource id in failed request: 0x570000000
    Serial number of failed request: 668
    Current serial number in output stream: 668
    I hope that someone can figure this out
    Thanks!!!
    also as a note I may have run the 10.4.10 update before i disconnected everything, but I don't remember.

    These are the links that I used to set up the SGI's

    At one point this worked!
    I also used the Xnest, but it is akward and has its own issues. Some items in the toolbar dont show up, just blank where text would be. Kind of a wierd issue. I have screen shots posted in a different forum here:
