Cannot connect with "SYS@MYDB AS SYSDBA"

Hello,
I logged in as os user oracle and do:
sqlplus "SYS@MYDB AS SYSDBA"
After entering the right password I get this error:
This returns a ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
MYDB is a local database.
sqlplus "SYS AS SYSDBA"
and
sqlplus "/ AS SYSDBA"
both work.
I don't use password files (and I don't want to).
Doing the first statement on a remote database (Win2K) works also. If the remote database is a Linux
machine I receive again a ORA-01031.
Any ideas whats wrong here?
Kai

ensure:
a. The listener is running.Is running.
b. there is a definition for MYDB in the local tnsnames file.Is done. There is also oracle names running. sqlplus scott/tiger@MYDB works. So no problem here.
c. There is an entry like: remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE or SHARED in your init file.I don't want to use a password file.
More ideas?
Kai

  • My 4th gen. shuffle keeps on sending me an error message that it cannot connect with iTunes because it's not formatted properly.

    Hi,
    About two days ago my shuffle started to send me an error message that it cannot connect with iTunes because it's not formated properly.
    So I've already updated the softwer, I tried to use it with every single USB port on my computer and searched for solutions on the net but couldn't find any useful information...
    I literally see the following message: The iPod "194" cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly.
    Any ideas?....
    Thank you!

    If you cannot access the iPad because of the passcode, you have no choice but to restore it using the same steps that you would use if you forgot the passcode.

  • PSE 12 - Cannot connect with Adobe

    I cannot connect with Adobe through PSE12.  The first time the message told me Help did not install and to uninstall and reinstall, which I did today.  I still cannot connect; yet, I was able to register the serial numbers for both elements and premiere. 
    In trying resolve the problem, I got another message that indicates there is no internet connection.  I have analyzed the install log and nothing there indicates an error in installation.
    I still have PSE 10 on my computer and can connect direct when in 10. 

    No. I tried the "activation-network-i ssues" before 2 times.
    0. Patch installed
    1. I have/had internet connection

    Any ideas how i can solve the problem?

    Dear Anubha,
    I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
    The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
    The version is 8.1.0.
    This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
    This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned.  I get an
    "Activation Number" instead.

  • I cannot create a new business catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014. The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. How can I fix this problem?

    I cannot create a new Business Catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Mac). The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. In addition, I am also unable to load remotely a previously created Business Catalyst site as it says there is something wrong with my username or password. However when I put my password in and press test connection, it says it has connected successfully. What is going wrong and how can I fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Hi Ozy08,
    Can you try the solutions mentioned in Re: Can't Login to Business Catalyst within Dreamweaver CS6?
    If you still have problems, and you have a purchased version of DW CC, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • CANNON EOS 7D get message as "cannot connect with battery" What can i do to fix this problem?

     when i turn on the camera  and its trying to read the battery the message i get is " cannot connect with battery"  i thought it was a defective battery and went out and bought a new one and still kept getting the same message.  what can i do ? Does anybody been through this situation from what i hear this is common on the CANNON EOS 7D models only why is that?

    Yes! It is a factory defect and Canon should recall 7D and 60D for this problem in stead to charge $230 for their own quality issue. I have 7D and not using it that often, it shows the same error message. Cleaning can not fix it at all! It was the soldering bad point at the battery and the little circuit board next to it, based on an engineer who repaired it by himself. Canon pro's: If you guys are cate about the Name of Canon then take these cameras back and fix them for free! Otherwise, the customers will switch to Nikon soon.

  • "The BlackBerry Desktop Software cannot connect with this device." after repair

    I download the Desktop Software for BlackBerry onto my Mac Book Pro for the first time. 
    After installing I connected my PlayBook. I get the message "The BlackBerry® Desktop Software cannot connect with this device."
    The program suggested I repair the device software, so I did. After that I set it up and ran the updates.
    When I plug it back in I get the exact same message.
    What should I do next?

    I also cannot connect to my two playbooks using desktop manager on mac.
    One of the two playbooks is now shipped back to rim for repair (see here http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/5MP-Playbook-Camera-Blackscreen-Errors-Ha... The issue of desktop manager not being able to connect to the playbook started with this playbook when the repair I was prompted to to stopped 1/4 way into it. Multiple retries did not make any difference. 
    Since then, I have tried connecting my other (functioning) playbook to the same mac but when I plug in usb cable I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg and prompted to "repair". I am definitely NOT going to "repair" this one. So I uninstalled the desktop manager and reinstalled it to see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it did not and I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg.
    If anyone has any suggestion how this issue can be resolved that would be great. I think something is stuck on the mac and is not getting wiped out when desktop manager is uninstalled. Thanks.

  • HT1386 While trying to update an app I keep getting a "cannot connect with iTunes store"message

    For some reason my iPad say I cannot connect with iTunes store while trying to update an app. I've tried all I know. Any suggestions?

    I am getting the same message. This is what I did to update my apps.
    Go to the App Store and search for one of the apps that needs an update. When the app appears in the search - there should be an Install button next to the app icon. Tap on it and see if the download will start. It worked for me.
    After over two years of owning iPads and never having had this happen before -  this is happened to me twice now in the last two weeks. It's weird, but it happens.
