Connect to remote target without giving SYSDBA password

Hi, I would want to script RMAN backup running from a Catalog Server using windows scheduled job which will backup target running in remote machine.
Is there a way I can connect to the target in remote machine without giving the password in the script?
Catalog server and target server are 11.2.0.3

Hi, I created the wallet with UserA and now I want to put a scheduled job with a service account UserB but am not able to access the wallet.
Its Windows 2008 and I have explicitly added the UserB as Full permission for the wallet file. The error message is below
ORA-12578: TNS:wallet open failed
Am pretty sure its a permission issue - but not sure how to provide the permission. UserB is in Admin Group, ORA_DBA Group, can log-in a batch job .........
Any pointer greatly appreciated.

Connecting to Remote Database using Debian w/Oracle XE

Hello.
I have managed to install Oracle XE on a Debian box.
I am trying to connect to a remote server located on my network.
I am using the following connection string:
# sqlplus <User>/<Password>@'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<IP>)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=<SID>)))'
However, I was given both a SID and a Service_name.
I tried connecting with both.
Is it possible to parametrize both? I checked and the remote server is up, and that is the existing port.
Thanks a lot!

bcm@bcm-laptop:~$ sqlplus -h
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production
Copyright (c) 1982, 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Use SQL*Plus to execute SQL, PL/SQL and SQL*Plus statements.
Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
    -H             Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
             usage help.
    -V             Displays the SQL*Plus version.
Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [{logon | /nolog}] [<start>] ]
<option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
    -C <version>   Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
             version specified by <version>. The version has
             the form "x.y[.z]".     For example, -C 10.2.0
    -L             Attempts to log on just once, instead of
             reprompting on error.
    -M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output. The options
             have the form:
             HTML [ON|OFF] [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
             [ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] {ON|OFF}]
    -R <level>        Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
             that interact with the file system.     The level can
             be 1, 2 or 3. The most restrictive is -R 3 which
             disables all user commands interacting with the
             file system.
    -S             Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of
             the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of
             commands.
<logon> is: {<username>[/<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | / }
           [AS {SYSDBA | SYSOPER | SYSASM}] [EDITION=value]
    Specifies the database account username, password and connect
    identifier for the database connection. Without a connect
    identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
    The AS SYSDBA, AS SYSOPER and AS SYSASM options are database
    administration privileges.
    <connect_identifier> can be in the form of Net Service Name
    or Easy Connect.
      @[<net_service_name> | [//]Host[:Port]/<service_name>]
     <net_service_name> is a simple name for a service that resolves
     to a connect descriptor.
     Example: Connect to database using Net Service Name and the
           database net service name is ORCL.
        sqlplus myusername/mypassword@ORCL
     Host specifies the host name or IP address of the database
     server computer.
     Port specifies the listening port on the database server.
     <service_name> specifies the service name of the database you
     want to access.
     Example: Connect to database using Easy Connect and the
           Service name is ORCL.
        sqlplus myusername/mypassword@Host/ORCL
    The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
    database.
    The EDITION specifies the value for Session Edition.
<start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
    Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
    local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
    will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
(e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
(e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run. The files may
contain SQL*Plus commands.
Refer to the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information.

Oracle 10g installing on Oracle EL, getting ORA-12157 error?

My boss is getting really impatient. I have tried installing Oracle 10g on... Oracle EL, CentOS 4, Fedora 4, Fedora 5, and I get the same error on them alll...
ORA-12157: TNS: internal network communication error
This occurs during the end phase of the installation, when it says "Clone database creation". Network seems to be working, can ping the server, static IP, all that?
Any help appreciated, I've been working on this for 5 days.
Jon

Verbatim, this error means:
ORA-12157:     TNS:internal network communication error
Cause:     Internal error during network communication.
Action:     Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.Have you met all requirements before proceeding with installation? Do you have all required patches? Is there any warnng during the prerrequisites verifying routine? Is there any outstanding issue recorded on your install log file?
I suggest you, after verifying above points, to go ahead wiht a software only installation, next, using the network and databse assistants perform a network configuration and a database creation, this way you'll be able to isolate the source of the problem and go ahead with a specific troubleshootig.

Connecting to remote database without using db links

Referred Thread:
Re: Remote DB connection without DB link
In reference to the thread above, my question goes like this:
Let's say I want to run a query from a database and use data from another database. I have the user, password, SID and port number of the other database but do not want to create a separate connection using sqlplus or connect commands.
Something like this:
SQL> show user
USER is "A"
SQL> select a.col1, b.col2 from tab1 a, tab2@????? where <some condition>;
Can this connection be done on the fly ?? I agree that a DB link will do the trick, but let's say I am not supposed to create objects on the other database.

You need two sets of privs on the remote database to view data in that database schema:
- create session (the schema must allow client connections to create schema sessions)
- select on other schema tables whose contents to view
You need a single priv on the local database, to connect to that remote schema on the other database:
- create database link
You also need the following in order to create the db link:
- the remote schema name and password
- IP address or hostname of the remote db server
- the remote Listener's tcp endpoint port
- the name of the remote database (SID, instance or service name)
If you do not have these privs, you cannot use/access the remote database from the local database session via a database link.
Other alternative methods needs additional privileges and objects on both the remote and local database sides - and are more complex (e.g. using web services, using web-enabled procedures, etc).

Accessing Oracle Server without Installing Oracle Client

Hi
I work on a linux based server which would be installed with Oracle Server. My problem is that I dont want to install Oracle Client on every client workstation since there are 1500 PCs in my company.
Could anyone help me on this?
Please note that all of the workstation are using Windows Operating System.
Thanks
Antony

I do not believe such an animal exists. Since Oracle's wire protocol is proprietary, reverse engineering it is a very significant investment.
If you need to access the Oracle server without installing the Oracle client, can you use the thin JDBC driver?

New computer, connected but router doesn't install

I bought a new computer last week, Win7 w/Norton. It connected to the internet without installing the router. But there are times when we have no internet.
It looks like the router is not installed on the computer. I tried to do that but it says Cannot find router.
So what can I do now? I would imagine I need to have the router w/Cisco Connect on my computer?

It is a E3000. I didn't want to mess with anything over the weekend for fear of not having internet connection at all.
I will look at it again tonight.
One thing I didn't do, is shut the router down and start fresh. Maybe that was part of the problem. But since I could connect to the internet, I didn't think I had to do that.

How can I connect the remote server which is installed with oracle

Now my computer is in my home,in my computer there is installed with the oracle 9i client,the server is also installed with oracle 9i,which is in my company.Now I want to use sql*plus to connect the database of the server through the internet work.I have created one listener service name in my home computer,but can't test successfully and the sql*plus can't connect the database.Who can tell me how to do it?Thank you!

Technical questions need to be addressed to one of the technical forums-- Products | Database | Database - General in this case.
Unless you are VPN-ing in or the DBA's at your company have configured Oracle Connection Manager to allow you to connect through the firewall to the database, however, I doubt this will work. If they have configured Connection Manager, you'll have to ask them to provide you with connection information. 99.9% of the time, you do not want people to access a database via the internet.

Is it necessary to have oracle client installed for remote access thru' jdbc type2 driver?

If I want to use oracle oci type 4 driver, do I need to install oracle
client?
or is it sufficient to put dll in classpath and classes12.zip in
classpath.
I can then specify in jdbc url the host:port:sid and not use the alias
from tnsnames.ora
I will be connecting to remote oracle database ofcourse.
Komal.

you need the Oracle client libraries installed.
And the easiest way to do this is to make an oracle client installation.
the DLL files should be in your PATH, not classpath.

i didn't see a odbc diectory in our oracle home path. how do i know odbc driver is installed in the oracle on our AIX server.
If it is there, do i just need to modify the odbc.ini and then the inithsodbc.ora, linster.ora, tnsnammes.ora files, or am I missing something

when you want to connect from Oracle to a SQl Server you need the Oracle Gateway (HSODBC or even better Dg4ODBC) and a FOREIGN ODBC DRIVER for your foreign database - a SQL Server ODBC driver. You have to get this driver from a 3rd party vendor - Oracle does not offer any foreign ODBC drivers.
So before being able to use DG4ODBC/HSODBC you need to install from a 3rd paryt vendor a SQL Server ODBC driver. Commercial vendrs are for example Data Direct, Openlink or Easysoft.
On Unix ODBC drivers commonly also require a driver manager. If the ODBC driver vendor does not ship one with the ODBC driver you can get it from www.unixodbc.org

Working on SQL Developer / pl/sql developer without installing Oracle

HI,
I am working on SQL Developer tool without installing oracle into my local machine.
I just took server IP as hostname and continuing with the same/
Now, since I donot have tns names, I am not able to use any other user other than my work related.
like scott etc.
could anyone let me know, is there any way that i can work on sql developer or pl/sql developer without installing oracle into local machine
like using scott etc...
for testing and learning purpose of self code.
thanks in advance.

No, you do not need a TNS alias (as the connection string can be build manually by the application and the driver).
So SQL*Developer needs to have an OCI (Oracle Call Interface) client driver. This can be "installed" using Oracle Instant Client.
Instant Client does not really install - to use it takes 3 basic steps:
- download it (zip file)
- unzip it to a directory (e.g. C:\InstantClient on Windows)
- add to your Windows User's environment an ORACLE_HOME variable that points to this directory
These steps should suffice in making the driver in in Instant Client available to Oracle applications. (works for me running an Oracle OCI client like <i>Mumbai</i> or Oracle's <i>SQL Data Modeler</i>).
If you want a tnsnames.ora file, then create the file and create a new environment variable called TNS_ADMIN that refers to directory location of the file. It can use the same location as your Instant Client directory.
PS. I assume you have an existing Oracle server to connect to.
