Connect to Server using TOAD

I am a newb to the DBA side of Oracle and have never setup an instance of it or installed it for that matter. I have TOAD and I would like to connect to the server using it. I have installed TOAD 7.6 on my workstation and that is all. I have not installed anthing else. The oracle database is on a server on our network.
Do I need to install some client tools on my workstation to connect to the database server? When I try using ToAD to connect using the correct login, I get an iniitialization error - Could not locate OCI.DLL. I looked on the TOAD website and it mentioned briefly about an 'Oracle Client'.?
Please assist me in getting connected to the server just by what I need locally on my workstation. Is it the same as SQL Server and just installing the Client Tools? If so, where can I find these tools for version 9.2.x.x (I think).
Thanks,
Greg

Hi,
I would stick to old full client install not instant as this will include all the extra you may need for visual studio i.e. odbc and ole....
I've never used instant client and am not sure if its supported against visual studio, toad... , plus it is very cut down in what it offers

Hi
When trying to connect to Oracle the following error is generated:
ORA-12203: unable to connect to destination
Possible Causes and Remedies:
Invalid TNS address supplied.
Verify that the service name is correct.
Verify that the name of the ‘host’ computer (defined as part of the TNS address) is valid and correct.
Destination not listening.
Ensure that the listener is running at the remove node. This can be verified on the server by using the command ‘lsnrctl80 status’ and also by looking at the services and checking that the service ‘OracleService<Sid>’ is running.
If the listener service is not running, does not exist and the database has just been created anew on the machine by restoring it from a backup, then the listener service will need to be created:
Oradim80 –new –sid <SID> -intpwd Oracle –startmode AUTO –pfile <full-path-of-init-file>
This should only be done in the circumstances outlined above.
Possibly because of underlying network transport problems.
Check that the remote node is visible on the network.
To gain more information in diagnosing the problem, enable tracking on the client, try making the connection again and then look at the trace file SQLNET.LOG.
There are multiple databases on the server and the database alias was not supplied as part of the connection string. This will only arise if connecting to the database on the same machine, since normally in this instance the database alias is optional if there is only one instance. Try:
Setting the environment variable ‘ORACLE_SID’ to the SID of the desired instance. (Consider setting ORACLE_SID in the registry.)
Explicitly specifying a database alias when connecting to the database.
Setting the environment variable ‘LOCAL’ or ‘REMOTE’ to the SID of the desired database. The service name does not then need to be specified.
Note: Using the utility ‘TNSPING’ may help in identifying any problems. As well as identifying whether a successful connection can be made, it also indicates whether the TNS name supplied is valid and if so then the host computer that it is trying to connect to. Syntax:
TNSPING <tns-name>

PI 7.11: Cannot connect to server using message server:...

Hello Guys,
we make the Application Management for a Customer PI System.
Scenario:
- the SAP Gui Connection to the ABAP Stack is routed via SAPRouter and Works fine.
SAP Gui -> our SAP Router -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> ABAP Stack PI System
- WebAccess its working fine, the Customer use Webdispatcher on every PI Server...
Browser -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> Java Stack (Port: 5xx00 btw. 81xx (Webdispatcher))
Problem:
Our Problem ist, we can not proceed the Integration Builder or the ESB, the Java Web Start works fine and open the Logon Screen Correctly -> but i fill the Logon Screen with my User name and Password and press Logon come the follwing Error:
"Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://<hostname>.<domain>:8134/P4"
In the Details from the Error Message:
"<hostname>.<domain>:53404 Reason: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException:
Cannot open connection to host: <IP-Adress of Central Instance> and Port: 53404"
The Customer says, the Firewall is open with the IP Adresses and P4 Port but i dont think so...
Can everybody help me, or have tips for me! I have checked a lot of OSS Messages (PI High Availabilty etc... its all correct on the System)
Sorry for my bad English
Best Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
did you check if the browser is using a proxy? (In this case your scenario unfortunately won't work).
P4-port should generally be routed via a proxy (described in the help.sap.com), but within the PI-Tools(JNLP) the proxy-usage is not implemented. There is even a SAP-note that describes how to check the JavaWebStart-Proxyconfiguration, but this won't help either.
If there is a proxy defined in the browser everything is working fine till you pass the logon-screen but even with the correct "javaws"-settings you won't be able to go on.
(This problem is pretty bad if you do have developers and the SAP-servers seperated because of security issues. I'm hoping that this malfunction will be solved with upcoming patches.)
Solution: Establish a connection without any proxy in between.
E.g.: a terminal server in the same network
It would be helpful to find more people with the same problem to force a fix from SAP for that.
If anyone else is having problems with this, please add a comment to this thread.
Best regards
Christian

Not able to connect to database using toad

we have a 11.1.0.7 database on solaris machine.
when the development team tries to connect to it using toad, it gives them ORA-01017: invalid username/password error.
We are using TNS entries to connect. From the same client machine, we are able to connect using SQLPLUS and SQL Developer using the same TNS entry. However, its not working on TOAD.
Toad Version is 9.0.1. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Muneer,
My answer is arriving to this forum late, but I'll tell you what is happening to benefit others who have this issue. Older versions of Toad convert the case of the password to upper case when they attempt to authenticate to Oracle. Versions of Oracle prior to 11G had case insensitive passwords so it did not matter. But when 11G came out with it's case sensitive passwords, Toad could no longer authenticate. You can test this yourself by modifying the password for your Oracle account (usnig sqlplus) so that the password is completely upper case.....Toad will suddenly be able to authenticate.
You will find that sqlplus and SQL Developer don't have a problem. That is because they don't convert the password to upper case, they just leave it as it is. I don't know why older versions of Toad convert the password to upper case, but that is what they do. Newer versions of Toad fix the issue. I believe that Toad versions 9.5 and later should work. I've also read, however, that 9.5 had issues with Oracle 11G client libraries so you might just want to upgrade to the latest/greatest version of Toad.

Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://xiidhasoft:50004/P4

Hi SAP Guru's
When PISUPER or any any of the enduser is trying to login in the Integration Builder , they are getting error
Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://xiidhasoft:50004/P4
I have tryed to search in SDN and got below solution but no success
1. Exchange Profile of PI - http://host:port/exchangeProfile
2. Check with the rmi port number.
3. if rmi port number is empty or any number is present ( check with Tr code: SMICM - services - check for p4 port number - it will be ex: 5<nr>04)
4. fill the rmi port number as present in the P4.
OR
implement note 864268
I have Netweaver PI 7.1 .
Please suggest some alternative solution.
Thanks & Regards

You may check your local PC Java Network Setting.
Troubleshooting:
Probably Javau2122 WebStart does not detect the correct Proxy Settings. In this case please proceed as follows:
To change the Proxy Settings for Javau2122 Web Start:
1. Click Start --> Run and enter javaws. Press button OK.
2. Control Panel -> Programs ->Java -> Network Settings...
3. Select Direct Connection to switch off the proxy settings and press button OK.
If this still does not work, select Use proxy server to set manually the HTTP Proxy and Port.
Contact your network administrator for the correct settings.

Connecting SQL server using JavaScript

I found an article on connecting SQL server using JavaScript. http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/JavaScript/Combining-North-Pole-with-South-Pole-JavaScript-with-SQL-Server-2000/
Do you people think it's possible? i try out the code already but something wrong with it. I just copy and paste it to a html file but it comes out with error. Do I miss out something? Thanks.

The easiest way would be to use Back to My Mac, but that will only work if the server is a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later and you have the cooperation of the network administrator.

How to connect sql server using oracle Client

Hi,
I am working in oracle9i and windows os 32 bit.
I need to connect SQL server 2000 from my oracle client..
I heard about heterogeneous connectivity ...
Please expalin me the steps what to add and how to connect the sql server...
Regs....

Are you trying to connect to SQL Server from your Oracle database (i.e. create a database link in Oracle to SQL Server)? Or are you trying to connect to SQL Server using your Oracle client software (i.e. SQL*Plus)?
The former just requires Heterogeneous Services with Generic Connectivity. The latter is functionality that has been depricated and probably no longer works in your environment.

"Connect to Server" using a different user

Hi,
When I want to connect to a share on another Mac on my local network I use the Finder's "Go->Connect to Server" command.
I am always prompted for a username/password when I do this. Is there a way to cache this information somehow so it always knows which account info I want to use?
Thanks!
BT

You have the option to add the password to your keychain.
Just check the 'remember password in keychain' option.

Connect to server using IPv6 address in afp URL

I'm not sure whether this is the correct forum for this question, but does anyone know whether I can specify an IPv6 address in the "Connect to Server" dialog?
I've setup IPv6 over direct-wired ethernet between my MBP and Mini. Using ping6, I can ping one from the other (but only when I specify -I en0)
I've tried the following URLs:
afp://[fe80::0216:cbff:dead:beef]
afp://[fe80::0216:cbff:dead:beef%en0]
I think the problem might be because I don't have an IPv6 router between the two hosts.
Thanks.
