Cannot connect to Oracle 11g XE through SQLPlus

Have been trying to resolve this all day. I have Oracle 11g XE installed on my local desktop (Windows 7 64 bit)for which I have been using for over a year for development. The recent "Sandy" storm killed the power at our office for a week. Upon returning to the office, I can not seem to connect to the Oracle on my desktop from my desktop. The only thing that supposedly have changed was the router re-assigned IP addresses. However, I have modified my tnsnames to reflect the proper IP address. Still I get the below error trying to connect through SQL*Plus (without specifying the service):
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm
Process ID: 0
Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
When I try to specify the service name "...system/password@xe", it gives me the following error:

  • Not able to connect to oracle 11g database source through OBI Server

    Hi,
    I am having an issue regarding the database connectivity.
    Iam unable to connect to the oracle 11g database through OBI server. However its connecting through SQL Plus with same username/password@hoststring. Its giving the error as :
    [nQSError: 17001]Oracle Error code:1017,message:ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied at OCI call OCILogon
    [nQSError: 17014]Could not connect to Oracle database.
    Please help me out in resolving the issue.

    If it's working in one place and not the other then it's obviously not an OBIEE problem.
    Are you typing it in right??
    Do you have multiple tnsnames.ora files pointing to different databases, maybe sqlplus is picking up one and toad & OBIEE the other and so the username/pw is wrong for that database?
    There's a limited amount that can be said to help, as the error is 100% clear what the problem is :) it's just working out whether you're connecting to the database that you think you are connecting to, and then whether the username & PW you're entering is correct for that DB.
    BTW OBIEE 10.1.3.4 is supported with 11g, and we're using it without problem here.

  • Error while creating a JDBC connection to Oracle 11g using WLS 6.1

    Hi
    I am trying to connect to Oracle 11g database on Weblogic 6.1 server.
    First of all i would like to know if this is compatible?
    The environement that i have is this
    1. JDK 1.3
    2. Database 11g is on remote system
    3. Oracle client on my local system ( Connecting to the 11g DB through the client works fine)
    4. Weblogic server 6.1
    5. Currently the application is connected to Oracle 10g DB and working fine(We are attempting to move it to 11g)
    Below are the steps that i followed to create the connection:
    1. Made an entry for the datasource in config.xml under <WLS_DOMAIN>/config folder as below
    <JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
    MaxCapacity="4" Name="CADConnectionPool"
    Properties="user=abc_proxy;password=proxy_abc;dll=ocijdbc8;protocol=thin"
    RefreshMinutes="5" ShrinkPeriodMinutes="10" Targets="CAsvr"
    TestConnectionsOnRelease="true" TestConnectionsOnReserve="true"
    TestTableName="dual" URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@gen11t-ora.db.lab.xyz.com:1530:GEN11T"/>
    2. Restarted the server.
    3. Ran the application and get the following error on the server console:
    <Aug 22, 2011 12:39:42 AM CDT> <Error> <JDBC> <Cannot startup connection pool "C
    ADConnectionPool" weblogic.common.ResourceException:

    Thanks

    The driver being used by your weblogic is too old and incompatible with the DBMS. Upgrade the driver.

The errors you reported are not uncommon and have been diagnosed repeatedly on this forum. Let's not confuse the issue by comparing / copying files from various machines, as that has already created a moving target of error messages.
    On the client that is exhibiting the problem ...
    Do you have a single ORACLE_HOME? A single TNSNAMES.ORA?
    On that machine, at a command prompt, do a tnsping on the service in question. Also try to connect with sqlplus. Copy the entire session -- commands and results -- and paste it all back here.
    On the server machine, log on as the owner of the oracle software, and at a command prompt enter the command "lsnrctl status". Again, Copy the entire session -- commands and results -- and paste it all back here.

  • How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL

    How to debug a form module (Oracle 11G Forms) through URL.
    My server OS is Unix. So i could not able to do the Debug Forms from the Form Developer.
    It is displaying a message that "Cannot find the module". Becuase the system is trying find out the module in Unix system instead of ma local system(Windows).
    I need to debug ma module through URL.
    I can place the fmb and fmx in predefined form path in Server.
    Please help me out to solve this issue..

    This is a little unclear. If your goal is to use the Forms Builder Debugger while running your form on a Unix machine, this can be done. However, the form must first be in running order. So before trying to attach the debugger you must first be able to start it without the debugger. For example:
    http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX
    Once this is properly running you can turn on debugging. If your form won't even start, then using the Debugger isn't going to help you because it is designed to troubleshoot coding problems and not configuration problems.
    So, do this to use the Debugger:
    http://yourServer:OHS_port_number/forms/frmservlet?form=yourFMX&debug=yes
    This will display a dialog box with some information. Do not click on OK yet as you will need this information to enter into the Forms Builder. Now, open the Forms Builder and click on Debug > Attach Debug. You will be asked for the information displayed in the dialog where you attempted to start the form. Enter it here (in the Builder) then click on ok in both places. To display the Debugger (in the Builder), click on Debug > Debug Console. Then from its toolbar click on the buttons related to what you want to monitor. Including a break point in your application code is often a more helpful way to use the debugger.
    Most of this information is explained in the Forms Builder Online Help
    Forgot to mention...
    To debug runtime issues, refer to the Forms Deployment Guide here (this assumes you are using 11.1.2):

  • Unable to connect to Oracle 11g server using instantclient_11_1 in AIX

    Hi,
    I downloaded instantclient-basic-11.1.0.7.0-aix-ppc64.zip from oracle site and used the same for connection to 11g server for testing my application on AIX 5.3 machine. I am also using easysoft driver for the connection. But I am uhnable to connect to Oracle 11g server from AIX 5.3 using instantclient_11_1 client
    libraries. I get the error "Could not load oracle libraries". Error is as below:
    WARNING: Setup was unable to contact your ORACLE
    WARNING: server by using the connection options
    WARNING: you specified.
    WARNING: Error connecting to DB: -1
    WARNING: HY000: [unixODBC][Easysoft][Oracle]Could not load oracle libraries
    But I could connect to the same server from AIX 5.3 machine using instantclient_10_2 libraries and same eaysoft drivers successfully.
    Looks like there is issue with connecting with instantclient_11_1 client libraries from AIX 5.3. I also tried with using 11.1.0.6.0. Same issue is observed.
    Did anybody else face similar issue?
    Thanks and Regards,

    I you find nobody who has the same problem, here are some hints:
    - Try to connect using "sqlplus" from the instant client. If that fails, there is probably a problem with your setup.
    - Look if the Easysoft driver supports Oracle 11.1 as client.

  • Problem in sql developer while connecting to oracle 11g

    when am creating a database connection with oracle 11g in sql developer editor it s throwing network adapter could not establish the connection
    connection name test
    user name system
    password system
    Role default
    Host name localhost
    Port 1521
    SID orcl
    Can any one help me to resolve the problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Those parameters probably aren't correct.
    Is that 11g on your machine? Try to specify the real IP instead. And sure the listener is up?
    Also sure about the SID and port?
    Hope that helps,

  • How to connect to Oracle 11g using thin driver with service name & SID

    Hi Experts,
    Wish to know whether there is a common way to connect to Oracle 11g server using SID or service name.
    Earlier I used jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<server>:<<port>>:<<SID>> for connecting to individual Oracle server instances.
    Now I need to connect to Oracle RAC which provides service names. So I need to use jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<server>:<<port>>/<<service name>>.
    This connection string is internally constructed by a program and user inputs <<server>>, <<port>> and <<SID>> or <<Service Name>>. Now this requires two different connection strings based on the input whether its SID or service name.
    Is there a common connection string for these two? Based on some articles like this, I understood that we can generically use jdbc:oracle:thin:@<<server>:<<port>>/<<service>>, whether for SID and service.
    When I tried this format with SID, I am getting the below error. What I tried is jdbc:oracle:thin:@myoracleserver:1521/ORCL, where ORCL is the SID
    java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
    ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
    Request your help in solving this. What I want is a single connection string whether its SID or service. Any help is of great value.
    Regards
    Sunil

    First of all: using the word 'urgently' is inappropriate and rude in a forum of volunteers.
    Edit your post and apologize publicly for using it.
    Secondly your question is a rhetorical one, as it's answer is:

  • Error connecting to Oracle 11g Database

    Hi All
    I am testing .NET connectivity to Oracle 11g and I am not successful for a while.
    I've tried to connect to database using library included in Oracle 10.2.0.3 Client and as a result I've got "invalid username or password" error. Then I've tried to use ORAC 11.1.0.5.10beta. I successfully connected to the server, but when I try to exec any query my program hangs.
    Both of them work correctly with Oracle 9i database.
    Also I've tried Microsoft .NET provider and it connects and executes queries fine (though 3 times slower).
    How do you think what is reason or how can I find the reason?

  • 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.

    889517 wrote:
    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.

    Hi,
    Is it possible to connect from Oracle 11g on AIX to SQL Server 2008 R2? If so, what is the preferred method?
    SQL Server has the original table. From Oracle 11g, we want to access data which is in SQL Server real time.
