10g patchset 1 "guessing" wrong repository SID/service_name

Does anyone know what file is used by patchset 1 to "guess" host,sid and service_name of the metadata repository? The installer is "guessing" wrong and (of course) doesn't allow for manual configuration of the parameter.
Note: tried modifying the ias.properties file (prop. InfrastructureDBCommonName) but that didn't help.
Thanks in advance,
/SFL

It might be worth mentionning that this particular 10g AS server has both the midtier and infrastructure instance on the same server (different oracle_home of course).
I've succesfully patched the midtier instance but infrastructure patch is another story. When trying to connect using SYS the installer complains about not being able to connect using the password provided.
THE PASSWORD WAS TESTED VIA AN OEM CONNECTION FROM ANOTHER WORKSTATION and it connected fine.
Also, the installer reports a different SID then what is used from the workstation to test the connection...
How can I make the installer use that SID which I know works?

Using JCO error Wrong repository version = 0 encountered.

Hi Guru,
We convert our existing Java Jco program to call RFC Sender adapter and XI should forward the request to RFC receiver adapter to our ECC.
We found that when we create client connection using gwhost, gwserv and tpname which is config in RFC sender adapter.
In our Java program throw error in the step of mRepository.getFunctionTemplate.
The error is "Wrong repository version = 0 encountered.".
It seems the program can not access function template from repository.
Anyone have this experience before, please advise
Thanks you.

It's working now.
For your knowledge, it seems it was something wrong inside the jrfc.jar.
The problem is not exactly the same but the solution is to apply OSS note 816491.

Oracle SID & SERVICE_NAME

What is the difference between Oracle SID & SERVICE_NAME ?
and which one is better to use in tnsnames.ora and why ?

When you use the names resolution service TNSNAMES, you always use both a service name and a SID in each entry of the client's TNSNAMES.ORA file. The SID is the actual name of an instance as recorded in the INSTANCE_NAME column of the instance's V$INSTANCE view and as specified in the instance's entry in the server's LISTENER.ORA file. The service name is an alias for the instance that is found only in the client's TNSNAMES.ORA file. Here is an example of a series of entries in a client's TNSNAMES.ORA file for three databases on three servers all having the same SID:DEVDB.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
   (ADDRESS =
      (PROTOCOL = TCP)
      (PORT = 1521)
      (HOST = DEVSVR.OURCOMPANY.COM)
   (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = OURSID))
TESTDB.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
   (ADDRESS =
      (PROTOCOL = TCP)
      (PORT = 1521)
      (HOST = TESTSVR.OURCOMPANY.COM)
   (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = OURSID))
PRODDB.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
   (ADDRESS =
      (PROTOCOL = TCP)
      (PORT = 1521)
      (HOST = PRODSVR.OURCOMPANY.COM)
   (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = OURSID))
)The SID is OURSID and is the same for each of these databases, but each resides on a separate host--DEVSVR, TESTSVR, and PRODSVR. The service names are DEVDB.WORLD, TESTDB.WORLD, and PRODDB.WORLD, and each is an alias for a database on a particular server. The SIDs of all three databases are the same, however. If the server configurations are identical, it is possible to use copies of OURSID from PRODSVR in TESTSVR and DEVSVR without making any control file changes. Although the service name may be the same as the SID, it needn't be.
We have hundreds of databases in our enterprise, and we make extensive use of the aliasing capability of the TNSNAMES.ORA entries.
Kind regards,
Russ

Get SID (SERVICE_NAME)

How can I programmatically get SID (SERVICE_NAME) of Oracle DB on which application server is running except for query "select sys_context('userenv','db_name') from dual"?

Difference between SID, Service_name, Database_Name and DB_ID.

Hi Experts
Can anyone please clarify me whats the difference between the SID, Service_name, Database_Name and DB_ID.Thanks in advance
Ram

In summary:
SID - uniquely identifies an instance. This given as the intialisation parameter INSTANCE_NAME. The SID and the Database name should be the same in a single instance database, but in RAC environment where multiple instances are associated to one database, there will be different name for each instance.
Service Name - Registers the database on the oracle network. For instance, when the database starts, it needs to be registered to the listener service for other clients to see it on the network. This is what you need in the SERVICE_NAME entry of the tnsnames.ora. This is specified as the initialisation parameter SERVICE_NAME.
Database_Name - This is the unique name that identifies all the mounted databases. This is the name you used when the database was created and is shown in the initialisation parameter DB_NAME.
DBID - This is the Database numeric Identifier. It is found on the header of all controlfiles and you can see it in v$database view. e.g select name,dbid from v$database. You can also see this when you connect to the database with RMAN. e.g rman target /
Note that you can use DBNEWID to change both the db_name and DBID. You can read more on all these to get more details

10g - Gaps at top and side of applet. How can I remove?

Hi
When running 10g webforms I have noticed that there are gaps at the top of and the side of the forms applet. This is causing our converted forms not to fit in the browser window without scrollbars (the presence of which further reduces the amount of the form visible :) )
Rather than resize all our forms I need to get rid of the gaps. Anybody know how?
thanks
paul schweiger
I have a small image illustrating my point - anybody know how to upload images?

Vielen Dank Volker,
That sounds like a handy tip! We're getting our feet wet with 10g writing new apps, for the time being, so these conversion headaches haven't yet entered the picture, for us. We have, however, several 6i apps to migrate, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible, from others on the forum.
I would like to recommend that people take a look at JDAPI, which is the Java counterpart to the C-based Forms API. Using it, one can automate Forms manipulations that they would ordinarily carry out manually using Forms Builder. It looks quite possible to do some very neat stuff, like scaling the size of one's forms programmatically.
One thing that interests me most is that JDAPI is not a "blind" tool -- one can inspect each form's properties programmatically, and perform only those operations that appear necessary. Of course, there are no Artificial Intelligence routines provided -- Genuine Intelligence is required, and the developer must provide this!
Anyway, I just wanted to mention JDAPI, for the benefit of anyone who might not be familiar with it. I would like to add, as an intermediate Java programmer, that one need not be a Java expert to have success with JDAPI. As always, there is a learning curve, but I found it fairly straight-forward. I, and others, have posted a few simple JDAPI examples to the forum, so anyone interested can have a look at these, to get a sense of what JDAPI code looks like.

Forms 10g Patchset 2 - release date?

We're currently looking to migrate from Forms 6i to 10g,
but have clients other than Windows, and so deploy using
the Sun Java Plugin (JPI) rather than JInitiator.
The "Oracle Forms 10g: Client Platform Support" document
says that the JPI support is targetted for patchset 2.
Does anyone have any indication of when this is due?

I'm also waiting for patchset 2 for the exact same reason. As soon as that's released we'll finalize the migration from (client/server) 6i to 10g using the Sun JRE

Running JDeveloper 10g 10.1.3.3 side by side with JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.0

Anybody running both versions? Is this possible?
I found some information about migrating from a previous version in the release notes/install guide but did not see anything about running side by side.
Thanks.

Yes, you can, if you run and work with them independently, ie. you don't share projects between each version.
If you intend to do this you must be aware that each version has its own understanding of the format of the .jws and .jpr files and might want to convert them.
Also be aware that ADF BC could not be shared between JDev versions.
You can even share the project codes by having .jws and .jpr files for each JDev version in use you could even share the same.

And then cd 5983622
ls wil show all the patches and download the patch from there.
Its a very bulky patch and it took 3 hours for us.

ODAC 10G R2 Download - Wrong file?

Hi,
I have just downloaded Oracle 10G Release2 ODAC following the link from Oracle Data Provider for .NET on the Downloads Index page. The file downloaded is however a copy of the 10G client (10201_client_win32.zip). The notes say it includes
ODBC
Provider for OLE DB
Objects for OLE
Provider for .NET
The first three are available as separate downloads. Can you confirm that this file is indeed incorrect or indicate the location of the Provider for .NET.
Thanks.

682,049,536 is the uncompressed file size. I think your download process somehow "gunzipped" the file on the way.
Maybe try "Save target as..."

Application Server Control 10g : Memory usage wrong

Hi,
We have install an OAS 10g on Windows Server 2003 with 8Gb RAM. But on the Application server Control, only 2 Gb are display in memory usage (Application server 372 Mb+Free 1675 Mo).
How configure Application Server to see all memory available ?
Thanks

32bit Windows have 4GB address space, which is split 2Gb system and 2Gb user. So user processes have 2Gb virtual address space (even if hw has more RAM).
Perhaps "App Server Control" mem stats system is limited by this concept. And maybe the app server is threaded?
Is it 32bit or 64bit hardware and OS?

Designer 9i vs 10g & repository versions

Description:
- our developers currently are using 9.2.0.7 against a repository built using the 9.2.0.7 client install.
- they need to be able to create export sets to send to a third-party company that is using 9.2.0.6
- we are rolling out forms/reports/discoverer 10g (9.0.4.0.1) and I would prefer to only have one iDS footprint for all developers
questions:
1. can we use the 9.0.4.x Designer (10g) against the existing repository that was created using 9.2.0.7?
2. if so, can we transmit (successfully) designer object data (via the built-in export functionality in the object navigator) to this client site that uses 9.2.0.6?

Hi Bob,
I'm assuming you mean version 9.0.2.7 (not 9.2.0.7) of Designer.
Q1.
You probably can't use 9.0.4 clients against 9.0.2.7 - but I've not tried it. It's usually the case that when you upgrade the repository you also have to upgrade all the clients as well. Having said that, there have been cases when the repository hasn't changed and the clients could be mixed.
Q2.
As far as exporting from 9.0.2.7 and importing into 9.0.2.6 is concerned I can't be sure (I don't have easy access to both versions). I can say that, in general, repository exports are designed to be forward compatible - that is, it should be possible to import an export done on an older version (within reason). The converse is not necessarily true, however, so you may fail to import an export done on a newer version.
However, this all depends on whether there have been changes in the underlying repository - if not, then in all probability, it could work. I suggest you give it a try and see what happens - but don't rely on this in future releases, for the reasons given above.
There may also be issues with the underlying server versions since SCM uses the server's exp and imp utilities.
I hope this helps a bit.

OS authentication in Oracle 10g via jdbc:oracle:oci

I'm very much a newbie to Java / JDBC and I am trying, but failing, to connect with the database using OS authentication via jdbc, and hoping someone may help.
My questions are:
1. Is OS authentication supported for jdbc:oracle:oci with Oracle 10g ? I couldn't find a general statement of whether it works or not.
(NB.The only information I managed to find, on another forum, is that it should be supported but there is a bug and so it does not work, but the author did not post all of his/her platform details, so the bug may only affect his/her situation. )
2. If it is supported and works, could some one suggest what is wrong with my syntax . I could not find an example in any Oracle 10g/JDBC documentation.
The details are as follows: -
Database : - Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.2.0 running on Solaris.
Development platform : - NetBeans 6.1, JDK 1.6.
Runtime environment: - JRE1.6 on Windows XP professional.
OPS$ authentication : - the OPS$ accounts have been set-up and we use these successfully for PL/SQL and SQL Plus access.
JDBC : - I can connect to the database with both jdbc:oracle:thin ( linking in ojdbc14.jar) and jdbc:oracle:oci by using username and password, so I know my JDBC library linkage is OK, eg. this works fine :
final String url = new String("jdbc:oracle:oci:" + uname + "/" + pword + "@" + environment);
where environment is the SID
I have trawled the Oracle documentation which tells me that OS authentication is not supported for Oracle 10g for the jdbc:oracle:thin driver, so I have tried to connect with jdbc:oracle:oci driver using the following code :
final String url = new String("jdbc:oracle:oci:/@" + environment);
final Driver driver = new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver();
DriverManager.registerDriver(driver);
final Properties props = new Properties();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
but this gives the following error :
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Other info: - The tnsnames.ora file contains nothing but there are entries in the ldap.ora and sqlnet.ora files.
My questions are:
1. Is OS authentication supported for jdbc:oracle:oci with Oracle 10g ? I couldn't find a general statement of whether it works or not.
(NB.The only information I managed to find, on another forum, is that it should be supported but there is a bug and so it does not work, but the author did not post all of his/her platform details, so the bug may only affect his/her situation. )
2. If it is supported and works, could some one suggest what is wrong with my syntax . I could not find an example in any Oracle 10g/JDBC documentation.

If you specify the SID/service_name in the url, you are attempting to connect via SQL*NET and REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT must be set to true in the database. If you are connecting from the same host the database runs on, then just leave the SID off and make sure the ORACLE_SID environment variable is set.
You can reproduce the same error you get in java with
sqlplus /@SID
