Configure TNSNAMES for SOLARIS & LINUX

How can i configure the TNSNAMES file on the server that has Solaris as its Operating System(OS) and another server that has LINUX as its Operating System(OS).
I tried to configure the TNSNAMES on LINUX server and connected it but it gives an error.
The following is how i have defined in my TNSNAMES file on the client machine:
TZR =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = tzr)
VIS =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.67)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = VIS)
For SID TZR the toad and workflow is getting connected but for VIS it is giving me the following error:
ORA-12537: TNS: connection closed.
NOTE: TZR server has OS Windows 2003 server installed while VIS server has LINUX as its OS
Please can any one help me how to connect to the database?
Thanking you in advance,
Chetan

12537, 00000, "TNS:connection closed"
// *Cause: "End of file" condition has been reached; partner has disconnected.
// *Action: None needed; this is an information message.
There must be additional messages that point to why the connection was closed. This message (as you can see from the above description) is pretty meaningless ito why the disconnect happen.
Wild shot in the dark:
I have seen this however with an incorrectly configured firewall. On iptables one would typically create a rule as follows:
# Allow Oracle Listener connections
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1521 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
However, it alone does not suffice as you need to add:
# Stateful Packet Inspection to allow established connections through
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Reg: How to Configure internet for solaris 10 in x86 32 bit

Hi,
I am new to Sun Solaris can any one help me detailed step of how to configure internet for standalone pc. Thanks in Advance
Thanx
MA

OK, the classical way:
Open a terminal.
Type
ifconfig -a
ifconfig -a plumb
ifconfig -a
Note the differences, it will plumb ALL available interfaces this way. So, now you can see, which device is your network card.
Then perform a
ifconfig <interface> unplumb
for all the newly interfaces (aka those, that were new in the last ifconfig -a output).
Then, the simple way:
cd /etc
vi hostname.<interface-driver-name>0 (example: hostname.rge0, the driver would be rge, the instance is 0, and rge0 would have been displayed as an available interface in the last ifconfig command). Add the name of the host into this file.
Then
vi /etc/inet/hosts
and add the pair of IP-address and hostname.
If needed:
vi /etc/inet/netmasks
if you have a sub-divided network, and you need a differenbt subnet mask...
Then:
vi /etc/defaultrouter
and add the name or ip-adress of the gateway... (name only, if you have that name also in the /etc/inet/hosts file!)
Also:
vi /etc/nodename
and add the name of your host into that file, so that the system knows, who it is... ;-)
And: For the DNS you can then add the infos into:
/etc/resolv.conf
For example:
nameserver 192.168.2.1
or some such...
Then, as the last but one step:
ls /etc/nsswitch.*
and:
cd /etc
cp nsswitch.<what you need> nsswitch.conf (should be .files here!)
And the reboot... ;-)
HTH!

P.S.: There might be some GUI, but I'm an old-timer, so I prefer the command-line version of things...

Check pkginfo -l for each package.
export the PATH variable where the packages are installed, like /usr/local/bin and etc.

Basic installation: X11 for Oracle Linux 6.3

Hi All,
I created Oracle VM and installed Linux 6.3 as operation system. First try with X Windows and X11 shows, that I can not start X-Appse.g. xclock --> command not found!
How can I correct install oderwise configure X11 for Oracle Linux 6.3
Regards,
Moh

I guess Oracle VM VirtualBox and Oracle VM can be misleading. Oracle should better call it Oracle Virtualbox, without VM in the name. Fyi: http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/oraclevm/index.html
Anyway, a default installation of Oracle Linux or RHEL 6 does not install the X Window system and a graphical user desktop. If you want to run X11 applications you have 2 options:
- Use remote access from a system that has X Window server installed
- Install X Window and a window manager on your virtual machine.
If this is a new installation and you use it locally then I suggest to re-install the system and customize the package selection. You should see a prompt "customize now" during the installation where you can select the Desktop packages.

License for cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86

I'd like to do cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86 using gcc (for linux). To do that, I have to copy libraries (/lib/64) and includes (/usr/include) from a sparc machine to my linux machine.
The compilation will be run on about (up to) 50 Linux machines (by various developers). We also have 3 solaris-10-SPARC machines.
I wonder if Solaris license allows me to copy the includes and libs to perform compilation elsewhere.
I also checked "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Solaris", but it looks like Oracle allows for installing "the programs" on up to 3 machines, but I need it on 50.
Thanks for any suggestions or redirections to a proper place where I can get an answer.

When installing Solaris 10 01/06 on a Dell 1850 I receive an error message during the install saying "no disk found". I assume that the drive/controller is not recognized. The Dell 1850 is listed under the HCL for Solaris 10 10/06. I don't believe I can use the Solaris(TM) Device Driver for the LSI MegaRAID Adapter floppy with 1/06. I don�t have any other Solaris boxes up so I can�t build a jump start server. Any suggestions?

Configure BPMJ2EE 10.3.1 for Redhat Linux

install BPM J2EE 10.3.1 for Redhat Linux and weblogic server 10.3 for linux in Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.
The oracle DB is installed in Windows 2003 server sp1 of another machine.
When I configure the BPM, it is failed at about 70%.
Mush I install weblogic server and BPM and config the BPM as root?

Hi YE,
If you are deploying BPM on a Weblogic Server you'll find your workspace on the following url
http://localhost:7001/workspace
This is because the all the jar services are deployed to the WLS. You can monitor if it is installed by going into the Process administrator -> Engines -> J2EE jar deployment (or something)
There you'll find all the jars that are/can be deployed. If you make any changes using the BPM admin center configuration don't forget to recreate and redeploy the jar file.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
Nils

Does Jit for Solaris works for linux?

Can i used JIT for Solaris under Linux platform? what are the implications and any problems that i can encounter. I need to know abt what kinda problems that could be encountered since the project will be used as a prototype for the main project.
OR is there a JIT for linux supported by SUN? i think i saw a link somewhere in java.sun.com that gave me the option of downloading JIT for linux but it said "Sun doesn't support it" beside it, so i didnt download it
thanks

we are using Linux 7.2 and Java 1.4OK, then you're using the HotSpot virtual machine.
How do I explain this as simply as possible? HotSpot has a "built-in JIT", in that it does not interpret the byte codes directly, but does so after translating snippets of byte code into native code. I.e. the VM IS the JIT.
There's no separate JIT you can use to "speed up HotSpot". And anyway, a JIT doesn't "compile" the code in any permanent way - it has to do the translation statically each time the program is loaded.
However, you do have a point - there have been several reports of a slowdown between JDK 1.3.1 and 1.4.0. 1.4.1 hasn't improved much. I'm waiting for 1.4.2.
Things you can try in the meantime:
* Download the full JDK, and use the "java -server" option to use the server VM. If you're running a server-type application (i.e. not a GUI), this might improve things.
* Profile the application using any of the available Java profiling tools (do a Google search - there are free and commercial profilers).
There are a thousand possible reasons why your application is slow - anything from excessive memory allocation to excessive locking to poorly chosen algorithms. A profiler may help you narrow things down a little.

Reports 6I and Oracle 8i(8.1.6.0) for solaris

I have downloaded Reports 6i for solaris.
When I install it a ( Curses ) based GUI.
Comes on . After installing it. Oracle
stops working ? whats wrong ? it installs
its own NET8 driver which I believe is
causing the problem.
null

The Net8 Configuration Assistant allows you to add databases into a file called tnsnames.ora. Do not manually edit this file or you will not be able to une Net8 Configuration Assistant unless you delete tnsnames.ora.
it asks me if i want to use a directory service?? please advise me what this is for and should i use it
saying no is ok.
if i say no it then asks me to pick 81, or 8 i picked 8i
8i is the correct answer here
then it asks me to enter the service name?? i dont have a clue what it means
the service name (also know as SID in 8.0) is the name of your database.
then select protocol for database you want to access?? again i have no idea
The common protocol for Oracle is TCP/IP
then a host name??
the host name (is the name of your computer or another computer you want to connect to with an Oracle database running on it).
1. To find the name of your computer, click START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL
2. Open the Network Icon
3. Select the Identification tab
4. The name of your computer is listed
Good Luck,

LDAP client for solaris 9 with ds5.2 on other box

Hi
I have ds5.2 installed on Box1. I am trying to configure ldapclient on solaris 9 box. I want this to point to existing ldap server for authentication. Sun documentation is not clear about how to do that ? as some of the switches mentioned with ldapclient doesn't work. Most of the solutions I saw are on integrated solaris 9 ds server configuration. e.g idsconfig etc. I am not finding how to do basic authentication of solaris9 cient with any ldap server (ds5.2) installed on some other box.

The syntax of ldapclient changed in Solaris 9 (at least by 9 12/03). You now specify it like this:
# ldapclient -v init -a profileName=cn=myProfile,ou=profile,dc=example,dc=comIf you're using Proxy Authentication add the following:
-a proxyDN=cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=example,dc=com -a proxyPassword=ClearTextPWYou should have been able to create a profile (storing it in the DIT) when you ran idsconfig. If you took the default name of "default" (cn=default,ou=profile,dc=example,dc=com) you might not even have to specify the profile name to ldapclient.
To generate a new profile and store it in the DIT use:
$ ldapclient -vgenprofile -a profileName=cn=myProfile,ou=profile,dc=example,dc=com -a defaultSearchBase=dc=example,dc=com ...With your various attributes for your profile as specified in ldapclient(1M).
As for pam, you have to decide which you're going to use: pam_unix or pam_ldap. Note that the Solaris pam_ldap is very different from the PADL pam_ldap used under Linux and elsewhere (this makes it easy to find apparently conflicting advice).

Java 1.8.0_31 for Solaris Sparc missing Firefox plugin

Until now I didn't realize that Oracle planned to deprecate (Oracle) Solaris in favor of Linux.
Since updates to Java 7 will be ending in April 2015, I thought it would be a good idea to migrate to Java 8. I installed Java 1.8.0_31 on our Solaris 10 server and then tried to configure the Java plugin for Firefox. Low and behold! It is no longer supplied with the Java installation. Apparently, when Oracle removed 32-bit support for java in Solaris, they removed Java Web Start (javaws.jar) and the Firefox plugin (libnpjp2.so) with it. As I searched the web in vain for a solution, I recall that additional java functionality has been removed from the Java 8 build for Solaris as well, but I can't recall what they are right now.
Of course, Linux remains fully supported!! Too bad we invested in an all-Oracle solution for our aging Oracle Forms applications. I guess now we need to stay on Java 7 until we can migrate off the high performance (Oracle) Solaris dinosaur to a better supported Linux platform. Thanks Oracle for providing no risk solutions.
I've submitted a ticket to Oracle Support regarding how to get past this issue, but I thought I'd throw it out here too:
How can I run a java app (like Oracle Forms) using Firefox on Solaris without a Java plugin?

Obviously Sun (excuse me, Oracle) does not intend to support the solaris-10/sparc/firefox-3.6 combination. Firefox 3.6 requires the NPAPI and/or NPRuntime interfaces to java, but oracle does not provide the new "libnpjp2.so" java plugin with the jre-6u18-sparc-solaris java download.
A search at www.oracle.com does not turn up any support announcement about this. You have to learn it the hard way. :(
If you want to continue to use sparc-solaris, downgrade to firefox-3.5 so you can use the old libjavaplugin_oji.so module. Otherwise run Linux or Mac OS X to stay in the unix camp.
