but when i try to connect to TOAD i get this error ORA-12537 TNS:connection closed.
do i have to do any setup's?
please help.

You need to register your host through OAM or disable the SQLNet restriction so that you can connect to the database. Check the following note for more details:

Remote connection to a database using TOAD, but without Oracle db on PC

I want to connect to a remote database using TOAD from my PC but without having to install Oracle database on my PC.
Is it possible?
If yes, where do I enter the database IP address & port number?
I am using TOAD Freeware version 8.5.0.50g
(I want to achieve the exact thing with TOAD as it can be done with "OraCmd" program.)

How did you create your tns entry? Manually or via netca?
If netca is not used, I would recommend to delete the old tns entry from tnsnames.ora file manually and add the same entry back via netca utility.
PartA.
1) Make sure listener is up (for example on the server 192.168.0.33 you are trying to connect) before you start netca. Most probably it is on 1521 port unless you changed it.
Assuming your server on *NIX:
$ ps -ef |grep lsnr
the above command will give you all the listeners which are up and running.
If listener is not up, bring it up.
$ lsnrctl start listener
the above command will start listener called "LISTENER" on default port 1521. Ignore this if the listener is already up.
PartB
Assuming your client machine is on Windows,
1) start --> run --> cmd --> netca
2) You will see "Oracle Net Configuaration Assistant: Welcome" window. --> next
3) Pick the 3rd radio button "Local Net Service Name Configuartion" --> next
4) Pick the "ADD" button. --> next
5) Provide the service name. (It is usually database name). Assuming my database name is FCMAT, I will give FCMAT --> next
6) Pick "TCP" --> next
6) Instead of the hostname, add the ip address of the host (for example 192.168.0.33 and
"Use the standard port of 1521"--> next
7) "Yes, perform a test" (this is why you have to have the listener up to test it) -->next
8) It will fail as it doesn't have any password. Click on "Change Login" and provide the SYSTEM password and click "OK". If listener is up on the server and password is right and there are no connectivity issues going on, test will SUCCEED. --> next
9) Here you will provide Net Service Name. You can give whatever you like to give here but usually giving instance name will help. AGain, I will give FCMAT. -->
10) Click "NO" to configure another net service name. --> next
11) click "Finish"
The above steps will create a tnsnames.ora entry similar to this.
FCMAT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.33)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = fcmat)
Part3
1) start your sqlplus utility
2) provide username system
3) provide password
4) provide FCMAT in host string.
and you should be able to connect via sqlplus and TOAD.
If you are still getting the error, please provide us the exact error.

I am in big trouble, I am working on 11gR2 4 node RAC database, and 1hr ago i have bounce the database for some issue. It came up and working fine for me, when i am connecting from the server. but the users (Performance team) who are connecting from application, it is not able to connect with SCAN address. we haven't changed any thing at the DB level or at OS level. and even i is not connecting from SQLDeveloper. It is thronging error message saying that "IO Exception: The network adopter could not establish the connection"
What are the things i need to check, Please give me your valuable suggestions and all of the application team is waiting for this issue to be resolved.

Connecting to the Database using the management console

Hi all,
When I login into the web based management console , I am able to see my system ( and also register other systems 0
However, when I click on the 'Database' - I am required to supply a "User ID" and "Password"
I tried everything : my SAPGUI user/pass , a database user/pass , the <SID>adm unix user/pass - nothing works.
What exactly goes there ?
Appreciate your help
below is a print screen of the user prompt I am getting when clicking the database component on the left

Hi
thanks for your reply
So , if I understand you correctly , this userid/password is the unix account <sid>adm credentials.
Well, if I understand the articel correctly , you need to either have write permissions for the sapstartsrv executable ( which my admin account currently do not have ) OR have the service/admin_users parameter set with the admin account
So I added the service/admin_users = <my admin account> and bounce
Did not help.
I also have :

Regards,
SumantaIf you have a listener on host BLRD025AL1, and that listener knows about a service named 'sumanta', then you don't need to do anything to your tnsnames.ora to use it with Toad -- or any other client tool. You just have to provide the correct connect string.
What have you actually tried?
What result did you get?
Any oracle errors (ora-nnnnn or tns-nnnnn)?

Unable to Connect to the database in RCU, Oracle11g XE on Laptop/Windows

Software downloaded unzipped and installed from OTN
OBIEE foundation 11.1.1.5
Repository Creation Utility 11.1.1.5
Oracle Database Express Edition 11.2
Issues
1. I installed Oracle 11g express edition. I am able to start/stop and run sql against the database however the homepage ("get started " accessed from Start > Programs > Oracle Database 11g XE > Get Started) does not work. This i will post in a separate thread but I am writing this anyway just in case it has some relevance.
2, This is the one I need help with. Can you confirm that these are the parameters when I hit the "create" option in RCU because I get the error message saying I cannot connect.
Hostname:This is the same as the hostname, when I go to cmd prompt like below
C:>hostname<enter> That is what I am using.
Port and Service :Can you confirm, Port = "1521" and Service = "XE". 1521 is the Database listener port when I installed Oracle 11g Database Express Edition. I am not putting the quotes in the boxes in the RCU.
Should the service be OracleServiceXE - i have tried it but does not work.
Anyway I get this message:
Unable to connect to the database using the provided details.
Please enter a valid hostname and port or check if the listener is up and running.
Any ideas appreciated.

Hi,
Like Abhi said, check your tnsnames.ora file to check the port number and service name is correct or not for the Express Edition database you have installed.
and when you are running RCU installer, Please give system adminstrator account of OracleXE like 'sys' or 'system' account with confirmed port number and service name.
Hope this helps.

Itext connect to the database and put values in a table

Hi, I have a problem because I can't find any tutorial that would connect to the database using the itext servlet and then update the table. I have found a source code that is transferring the database items on the list package of itext. I need an example that is dynamically creating a table. Can anyone please help me with these problem. I need it to for my reports or could anyone suggest an easy to use library rather than itext. THANKS

Guys, need your help...I just want to populate a resultSet on an itext table.I don't know what it means to "populate a ResultSet on an iText table". I guess the tool you are using to translate your question to English isn't very good.
Does it mean you have an iText table (whatever that is) and you want to create a ResultSet that allows you to extract data from it? Or do you really have a table in your database, and you want to use a ResultSet based on that table to create something in iText? Or what?

REG: Unable to connect to the database

Hi All,
I have installed mdm 7.1 sp06 on one server with database as SQL on other server, was able to mount the server and running fine but when trying to connect to the database using the user sa, giving the error "Unable to connect to the database server".
Can any one please help in how to connect to the database on other server?
Regards,
Mounika.

hello,
What sequence did you follow.
the normal sequence is to start the data base server first and then the mdm server.
Kindly take a restart of the servers and check th mds.ini file for the relevant settings for Database connectivity.
Mostly the restart will solve the problem, if it still doesnt do let me know

When connect the Database from Toad , Sqlplus giving the error

Thanks & Regards,

when connect the Database from Toad , Sqlplus giving the error recent changes 12.1.1 installatiojnHave you tried using the same user via simple sqlplus on the database server or apps tier server itself? Please try the same database user/login on the database server using the sqlplus available on the server itself. See what message do you get. If the the login happens, then try with the tns entry e.g. sqlplus username/password@prod and see if that works on the db server. If both of these conditions work the check where is Toad picking up the tns entry from on the client pc/laptop. If first test fails, then check if the account is locked.
Hope this helps.

Unable to connect to the database instance using Enterprise Manager.

I just install Oracle 10gr2 in my computer and after successful installation created a database instance which also install successfully. I then configure the listener using Net Manager and then start the database instance, the listener and dbconsole, everything seems to work fine and checking the status of this services from the command prompt indicates everything started successfully. But when I try to use Enterprise Manager I was directed to the Database Down Page with a message unable to connect to database instance. I try to use startup and perform recovery but every time I log-in to the database an error message comes out:
SQLEXCEPTION
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified.
It seems for Enterprise Manager to connect to the database it needs to access this NLS(National Language Support) data files or specify an environment variable to point to this data files. I am just new to Oracle and I am having difficulty solving this particular problem. Where is this data files located and how do I configure Enterprise Manager to access this NLS data Files?
Any help however small will be highly appreciated.

Are you able to connect to the database via SQLPlus?
What Operating System are you using?
Assuming Windows, can you RUN regedit to open Windows Registry and check the value or NLS_LANG when you select
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_<your_oracle_home>
Examples of vaules you may find:
1. ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.WE8MSWIN1252
2. AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
3. AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
4. FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252
5. GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252
If you are not able to connect to SQLPlus, from the command prompt try setting one of the above:
e.g.
D:\>set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
D:\>sqlplus /nolog
SQL>connect sysman/password
