Connection manager documentation

I'm having trouble finding some good documentation on Oracle Connection Manager, can anybody point me in the right direction.
I'm looking in to how it might be used to proxy SQLnet in order to satisfy firewall requirements, and I'm at the stage of what does it do and what are the hardware and pre-requisite requirements, rather than needing in depth configuration info at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

  • Troubleshooting Connection Manager

    Hey, I try to setup the oracle connection manager.
    I installed the Connection via the universal installer
    Then I created a cman.ora in $TNS_ADMIN with following content:
    cman1 =
    (CONFIGURATION=
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=172.17.12.143)(PORT=1521))
    (RULE_LIST=
    (RULE=
    (SRC=*)(DST=*)(SRV=*)(ACT=accept)
    (ACTION_LIST=(aut=off)(moct=0)(mct=0)(mit=0)(conn_stats=on))
    (RULE=(SRC=sles11-rac)(DST=127.0.0.1)(SRV=*)(ACT=accept))
    I also edited the tnsnames.ora :
    cman1 =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.17.12.143)(PORT = 1521))
    Then I start the connection manager:
    CMCTL> administer cman1
    Current instance cman1 is not yet started
    Connections refer to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=172.17.12.143)(PORT=1521)).
    The command completed successfully.
    CMCTL:cman1> startup
    TNS-04012: Unable to start Oracle Connection Manager instance.
    CMCTL:cman1>
    Where is the mistake ???

    I may found the answer, might be stupid but anyway

    I don´t have a listener configured. There is NOTHING in the oracle documentation which is saying that a listener is needed.
    I thought cman would cover this listening process as well.
    I will try it now
    Edited by: Christian on 09.07.2010 14:23
    Yeah, is working now. Just installed the Oracle Net Tools and configured the listener
    +1
    Thanks for this note. This was frustrating. I didn't find much on this error on the net or support, so pasting it again here:
    (EVENT=Failed to start listener process)(REASON=)(OPN=65)(NS1=12545)(NS2=12560)(NT1=515)(NT2=2)
    The only reference I found to needing the listener was in the CMAN architecture doc. I'm guessing the listener is supposed to be auto-installed with CMAN. Maybe it's an OUI bug? I'm on Solaris SPARC 64bit. Anyway, for anyone else, make sure the Oracle Net Listener is selected as well as Oracle Connection Manager when installing using the client software bundle. In the default install I went through, it wasn't sufficient to have a DB listener installed in a separate ORACLE_HOME on the same host. The listener software had to be in the same ORACLE_HOME as CMAN software. Also, I didn't have to configure the listener installed with CMAN. When CMAN is started, it starts a tnslsnr process, but I didn't have to setup a listener.ora. Port 1521 is already taken on this host by another listener yet the CMAN version still started??
    Side note. Tried modifying an existing EE server installation. There is a CMAN option available that wasn't selected. Observed error: OUI-10150 ... setting s_dlgCfgNamingLabelSIDnull ... That's when I found the note in the docs and on Metalink that CMAN is supposed to be installed from the client software package in 11.2.

  • Connection manager

    Hello,
    I'm trying to set a test envirinment to learn Oracle Connection Manager. I've read appropriate chapters in Net documentation and a forum thread:
    Re: Configuration of Connection Manager
    But there are still things that I can't work on.
    I have two machines, database on one of them and client on the other. It's database 10g, client on WinXP, database on Linux.
    Where should I install connection manager? on Linux or Windows, maybe any?
    If it was a production environment, what would be the best solution?
    Thanks in advance,
    Aliq

    Hello again,
    thank you both for help. Unfortunately it still doesn't work :/
    Since I couldn't get the install files for Windows (I didn't have cman installed there) I decided to change:
    database on WinXP, so listener there too (listening on 1521, database is called "test" and it's open). Hostname = hostB
    client and cman on Linux. Hostname = hostA
    My cman.ora looks like this:
    cman_ora(
    configuration=
    (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=hostA)(port=1610))
    (rule_list=(src=*)(DST=hostB)(srv=*)(act=accept))
    (rule_list=(src=*)(DST=hostA)(srv=*)(act=accept))
    (PARAMETER_LIST=
    (LOG_DIRECTORY=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/log)
    (LOG_LEVEL=ADMIN)
    cman.ora:
    testcman=
    (description=
    (SOURCE_ROUTE=YES)
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostA)(port=1610))
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostB)(port=1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER=DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME=test)
    Then I do (on Linux -> client/cman)
    $cmctl
    cmctl> administer
    Current instance CMAN_ora is not yet started
    Connections refer to
    (description=
    (SOURCE_ROUTE=YES)
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostA)(port=1610))
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=hostB)(port=1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER=DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME=test)
    The command completed successfully.

  • Remote Desktop Connection Manager can only open 6 sessions at a time on Server 2012

    I am only able to open, and view thumbnails, for a maximum of 6 RDP sessions on my Server 2012 box at a time in Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCM). If I add more sessions I just get a variety of connection errors for the additional sessions. If I activate
    a 7th session one of the existing 6 sessions goes off-line with a connection error message. Sometimes the error says 3334, sometimes the error says 0x8345000E, and sometimes it just says there is a connection error.
    I have checked Group Policy on the server to ensure I don't have any settings restricting the number of RDP sessions.
    In fact, I will often have 30 or 40 RDP simultaneous sessions opened, I am just not able to view them all in RDCM. I have seen reviews of RDCM with screenshots showing dozens of thumbnails so it seems to be something that's possible to do.
    Are there any settings I should make on the server to allow RDCM to connect to more than 6 simultaneous RDP sessions?
    Just to be clear, all these RDP sessions are running on the same server. Also, I am just using the trial license for Server 2012 and Remote Desktop Services right now. I don't think that should have an impact, but I wanted to be thorough.

    Thanks Jakub for "corflags" info.
    Unfortunatelly it doesn't work because running mRemoteNG.exe process in 64bit can't load MSTSC ActiveX component (referenced assemblies) because original files were assembled from 32bit dll [mstscax.dll]?
    Error message when making RDP connection:
    Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.MSTSCLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
    I was able to create new AxInterop.MSTSCLib.dll and Interop.MSTSCLib.dll assemblies from 64bit dll version and now it works with "AnyCPU":-)
    http://www.filedropper.com/axinteropmstsclib-mremoteng
    Using AxImp.exe and TlbImp.exe didn't worked for me because it creates assemblies in wrong namespace "MSTSCLib" instead of "Interop.MSTSCLib" (AxImp.exe) and TlbImp.exe for changing namespace generated many "marshaled errors"
    so final .dll wasn't working.
    Adding MSTSCAX.dll reference in Visual Studio directly created correct and functional assemblies. Who don't know how to create 64bit compatible assemblies or don't have Visual Studio, feel free to check linked file.
    Hope it helps
    P.S. Sorry for possible technical misinterpretation, I am not programmer so creating new assemblies was trial-error process...

  • Excel Connection Manager suddenly can no longer connect to Excel from SSIS package

    <p>During the last 3 months, I used 32 bit SSIS 2008 (v 10.50.2500.0) on an WinXp machine (v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) to create a package that writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. Each report is written to a different
    tabbed sheet in the same spreadsheet. </p><p>The package was&nbsp;working just fine until May 9 2013, when suddenly every single&nbsp;Data Flow task with an Excel Destination&nbsp;displayed error icons and raised the&nbsp;following
    error message when opening the Advanced Editor:</p><p>SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". <br />Error at &lt;DataFlow task name&gt;: SSIS

    I submitted this issue above and now I am having the same problem again. I am using the same local computer, the same operating system (WinXp v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) as originally described. I am working with the same SSIS package that
    writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. This package has been successfully executed multiple times, but now I am suddenly getting the same error as follows:
    Error at 1ConversionContacts [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
    An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine"  Hresult: 0x80004005  Description: "Unspecified error".

    call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
    The package will not run because of these multiple errors (multiple because it occurs on every single excel destination in the package).
    I have Run64BitRuntime set to false on the project. I have triple checked that the excel file name (which I created and can access) exists with the correct name in the correct path, which is local on my machine. The file is the same file in the same
    location as when the package worked.  I am running the SSIS service under my own network login, as I was when the package worked. I have been consistently getting this same error whenever I change my network password without updating the password
    in the SSIS service, but I have triple verified that the service is using my latest password. If I try to open and edit the Excel Destination in any DataFlow task I get the same error. I can successfully create a new Excel Connection Manager pointing
    to the same excel file. However if I try to assign the newly created Excel Connection Manager in the data flow, I cannot activate the drop down to choose the Excel sheet without getting an 'Unspecified error' message. I then swapped out
    the file with its template version, and ensured the name was updated as correct. I still get the same errors.
    Oh, and the SSIS package is extracting data from a SQL Server 2008 database with an ADO.net Connection Manager using Windows authentication. I have no problems with the SQL Server connection, it has always worked and still does.  It is only
    the connection to excel output file which is locally stored on my machine.
    Has anyone got any suggestions for me?

  • USB no longer available in Connection Manager afte...

    Hi! I had the Init MediaControl2 problem, which I managed to fix after running through numerous reinstallations and cleaning (with the Nokia registry cleaner 3.3)
    However I found that even though the PC suite is now installed, the USB is no longer shown as one of the options under Connection Manager. Also I found that there is no 'Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver' installed (checking the Add/Remove Program). I have only
    Nokia PC Suite
    Nokia Connectivity Solution
    Tried to reinstall many times but never get Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver back. Here's what I've done so far
    - Repair
    - Used all options under Nokia Cleaner 3.3 - Deleted all registry entries that contain the word "PCSuite" or "Nokia" by using some registry management tools
    - Reinstalled PCS 6.7, and updated to 6.8
    - Used the regsrv32 on the dll that manages the USB connection - C:\Program Files\Common Files\PCSuite\Transports\NCLUSBMM.dll, but returned error 0x8040020
    - Tried to install older version of USB cable driver 1.59 but the installer said there's new version
    - Tried to reinstall the current "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" by taking the installer from other good PC, but it said PC configuration corrupted, contact nokia support
    I'm very frustrated with this problem.. it took me 5 hours yesterday to work till 3am and it has still no cure! What I need is simple, a way to remove EVERYTHING by PC Suite, and have a clean installation which I can use the USB connection. I know I could use Bluetooth, but I just don't want to give in to this problem.
    My PC Specs
    Operating system:
    Microsoft Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 2
    Language: English (United States)
    Nokia PC Suite: Version 6.80.20
    Language: English
    Connectivity Cable Drivers: Unable to install!

    Apple has never fully committed support of the Time Machine/Airport Extreme combination.  I have a Airport Extreme 6th gen that supposedly supports the Time Machine, (page 13 of the installation manual).  After a year of experience I have concluded that it does not work - period.  If you have any critical data on your system(s) I would recommend that you use a dedicated backup/recovery product like Carbon Copy Cloner.

    It appears you had set the administration port & listen port on the admin

    Logging onto admin server via admin port is broken currently. I wouldsuggest
    you to set only listen port
    and see how that goes.

  • How to connect to lined server in SSMS in SSIS connection manager

    Hi,
    In SSMS (Server name is sqlssisdw1), I have one (SQL Server)linked server name sql4. in that linked server there is DB called rptdb
    Now using SSIS I want to use tables in that DB rptdb.
    So for this I want to create Connection manager, but for this when I select 'New OLEDB connection' and in that in 'Server Name' when I wrote 'sql4' it is not giving me list of DB. I also tried giving sqlssisdw1 in server name and see if I can see this
    rptdb but I can't.
    Can you please tell me how can I connect to lined server in SSMS in SSIS connection manager? Thank you.
    Vicky

    Hi ,
      if you are already having access and login credentials to the remote server which is configured in sql4 , you pretty much directly connect to that server from the connection manager instead of going through a linked server. If you still want to connect
    through the linked server , you need to establish the connection for SQL Server sqlssisdw1 and then
    use a 4 part name query to access the rptdb tables as like below
    SELECT * FROM SQL4.rptdb.<schemaname>.Tablename

  • My Firefox icon will not connect to the internet without manually opening my connection manager first. Why? How do I fix this issue?

    I installed Firefox on our home computer this weekend (Dell). This is the browser that I use at work and I'm very happy with it.
    Since installing I always have to manually open our connection manager to go online. I can't just click on the Firefox icon and have the connection manager automatically come up.
    I have already checked the "no proxy" box as suggested. Firefox is set as our default browser.
    Internet Explorer was our previous browser and it was so slow, but at least it automatically brought up my connection manager.

    Used iTunes to download 6.1.2 to the iPad Mini.  It then worked for (app store and all) for 3 hours.  Then wifi stopped working at all.  Hurray!

  • How can I find out the server port for a secured FTP site and creating a FTP Connection Manager

    I have to create a FTP Task to go out and get the files that our 3rd party vendor will be dropping on a secured FTP site. I have all the credentials to access that Secured FTP Site and have successfully done so through FileZilla.
    Now I need to set-up a FTP Task to go out and get their files and in so doing create a FTP Connection Manager. Is there any way I can determine the
    Server Port number from the Secured FTP site? I let it default to 21 and tried the Test Connect and it failed.
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    Hi ITBobbyP,
    SSIS has a built in FTP task, while this only works for the FTP protocol, it doesn’t support SFTP. But there are some free clients like WinSCP and
    SSIS SFTP Task Control Flow Component
    available in the CodePlex which can invoked from SSIS.

  • How to specify finite simulation stop time in VI generated using SIT connection manager

    Hello,
    I have a SIMULINK model which I want to run on a desktop ETS. I'm following this procedure:
    1. Convert the SIMULINK model in a .DLL using RTW build in Matlab. The target of this build is nidll.tlc.
    2. Create a host VI with required indicators and map the parameters using SIT connection manager.
    3. Configure the DAQ (and then SIT connection manager generated the driver and IO files for me.)
    4. Using LV project, run the driver on the desktop ETS and host VI on the host machine.
    The code is working fine, without any error.
    My question is this: Since in the driver VI, the simulation time is set to -1, which implies "continuous", the simulation goes on until I hit the stop button on the host VI.
    I tried changing this default value to some other value. The simulation then does run for the defined amount of time but then I'm getting error 2206.
    What is an appropriate way to stop the simulation on the RT target?
    Thanks
    Gayatri
    PS: I'm using LV 8.5, LVRT 8.5, SIT 4.0, Matlab @2007a.

    The VI in the Driver VI called SIT Initialize Model.vi has an input called time step (sec) (-1: use model time step) which does what you want it to. It doesn't actually affect the time step of the solver used in the built model DLL, just the rate at which the main base rate loop actually runs in real time. In fact, base rate loop period would be a better name for this control. If you set it, you won't alter your model, but you will be able to adjust the rate of the base rate loop.
    Simply create a control from this input terminal on your driver VI and fill in an appropriate period in seconds. Make sure to set this value as default in the control so that the Driver VI remembers it.
    You will have to take into account that your model will still think it's running at the time step it was compiled at. So your model simulation time and the actual wall clock time won't match up.

    I have to load data from a csv file to SQL Database. The file is placed into a directory by another program but the file name being same, has different extensions based on time of the day that it is placed in the directory. Since I know the file name
    ahead of time, so, I want to strip off the date/time extension from the file name so that I can load the file using Flat File Connection Manager. I am trying to use 'variable' and 'expression editor' so that I can specify the file name dynamically. But I
    don't know how to write it correctly. I have a variable 'FileLocation' that holds the folder location where the file will be placed. The file for example:  MyFileName201410231230  (MyFileName always the same, but the date/time will be different)
    Thanks,
    jkrish

    I don't want to use ForEach Loop because the files are placed by a FTP process 3 times a day at a specific time, for ex. at 10 AM, 12 PM and 3 PM. These times are pretty much fixed. The file name is same but the extension will have this day time stamp. I
    have to load each file only once for a particular reason, meaning I don't want to load the ones I already loaded. I am planning on setting up the SSIS process to load at 10:05, 12:05 and 3:05 daily. The files will be piling up in the folder. As it comes,
    I load them. At some point in time, I can remove the old ones so that they won't take up space in the server.  In fact, I don't have to keep the old ones at all since they are saved in a different folder anyways. I can ask the FTP process to
    remove the previous one when the new one arrives. So, at any point in time, there will be one file, but that file will have different extensions every time.
    I am thinking of removing the extensions before I load every time. If the file name is 'MyFileNamexxxxxxx.csv', then I want to change it to 'MyFileName.csv' and load it.
    Thanks,
    jkrish
    You WILL need to use it eventually because you need to iterate over each file.
    Renaming is unnecessary as one way or another you will need to put a processed file away.
    And having the file with the original extension intact will also help you troubleshoot.

    Hi,
    I have copied a number of SSID packages from a live server to my test server and am trying to get them up and running but I have a problem with the connection. The only thing that is different is the server name. I decided to keep the same connection in the connection manager as it is referenced in a dtsConfig file. I changed the dtsConfig file to reference the new servername [Data Source= new test server name]. I also check my paths and they are pointing to the correct config locations etc.
    I found this post which was similar to my problem but I still get problems with the connection
    http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1319961&SiteID=1
    I updated the connection by changing the server name in the actual connection. I did this from the data flow tab in the Connection Managers sections (MS Visual Studio). Right clicked - Edit - changed the name of the server name to my test server and selected the database. Test connection was fine, and saved this.
    Once I saved this, the connection string changed to my current test server in the properties of the connection. However when I run the package I get the following error:
    Error: 0xC0202009 at ReportsImport, Connection manager "myconnectionstring": SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

    Error: 0xC0047017 at Myprocess import from file, DTS.Pipeline: component "ReportsImport" (79) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C.

    Error: 0xC0024107 at Myprocess import from file: There were errors during task validation.
    So even if I change the existing connection properties and save and Build my package again, my connection properties (connectionstring, servername etc) all revert back to its original data source when I re-open the package. Simply it does not seem to be saving the connection properties i put in.
    What am I doing wrong or how can I change the existing connection manager to look at the new server. The database is  the same and I have full admin privilege on the server.
    I don't want to recreate my packages as there are alot and they are not simple.
    After changing the connection properties, saving and reloading I get a connection error. But this is because it is not retaining the new connection manger setting i entered.
    Incidentally - I created a new SSID to perform a simple connection and write to the the server and it was OK so there is no problem with actually seeing the my test server.
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, the package is in visual studio and I have executed it. There are no errors but in the output i have the error message about my connection. My dtsConfig file is added to the project in the 'Package Configuration Organizer' and path and files are correct. This is the output error:
    Error: 0xC020801C at xx import from file, xxReportsImport [79]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.  The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "myconnectionname" failed with error code 0xC0202009.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
    I will try and run it using dtexec.exe. if I have two config files do i use
    dtsexec.exe /f <packagename> /conf <configfile> /conf <secondconfigfile>

  • SQL SERVER - Error while executing SSIS package on specific environment : Connection manager - The specified module could not be found

    I have deployed my SSIS packages on SQL 2008 server.
    I have a .bat file which will invoke these packages and also the bat file is placed in the server where the SSIS packages are deployed.
    Scenario 1:
    I double clicked on the bat file to invoke the SSIS packages and ; this executed successfully
    Scenario 2:
    I have used the IBM Tivoli work scheduler(TWS)  to invoke the bat file which in tern will invoke the ssis packges;

    Config BD is a connection manager which will get the connection string from the config file of the SSIS package.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.

    Check you TWS jobmanrc.cmd configuration file.   You may need to add a PATH environment variable in that file that includes your SQL Server file locations.   When TWS jobs are executed, they may not be executing with the same
    PATH variable as when you execute the SSIS outside of TWS.
