Connection name questions & problems

Hi!
Is there a length limitation on HSODBC connection names? Or a uniqueness requirement?
I had 2 entries named "b0mausqldev1" and "b0mausqldev1_ald" and HSODBC always connected to "b0mausqldev1". The initb0mausqldev1_ald1.ora, listener.ora, tnsnames.ora and ODBC.INI were all correct. The solution was to change the name from "b0mausqldev1_ald" to "sqldev1_ald".
The ISQL utility (part of UNIXODBC/FREETDS) worked with all of the name variations so that leads me to believe it is an HSODBC / Oracle networking issue.
TNSPING reported a good connection but it is hard to tell which connection it was using.
I am using FREETDS and UNIXODBC, Oracle 9.2.0.1 on AIX; connecting to SQL Server 2000.
Also found out that Oracle does not like "-" in database link names. ;)
Thanks!

Officially:
The Oracle 9i Database Administrator's Guide lists the SID restrictions:
Each Oracle instance must have a SID. A SID us a unique name for an Oracle database that can be up to 64 alphanumeric characters in length.
But I've also seen problems in some versions with more then 12 characters as the listener didn't handle it correctly.
Commonly to diagnose this kind of problems a listener trace is more helpfull then the tnsping utility as TNSPING is NOT looking for any SID. It is just pinging the listener process and check if there is something alive on this machine and listening on this port.
So even it replies a success there is no guarantee the SID exists. You should always check the listener status as well.
If you want to check out which SID is used, you should enable LISTENER tracing:
lsnrctl <ENTER>
set TRC_LEVEL support
now open SQL*Plus and try the DB link
afterwards disable tracing again:
lsnrctl <ENTER>
set TRC_LEVEL off
Now examine the trace file.
As a final word:
Keep in mind HSODBC has been desupported 15th of March and you should move to the follow up product DG4ODBC V11. This requires in your case to apply the 9.2.0.8 database patchset AND to apply also the compatibility patch 5965763.

Problem with network connection names and cluster

Hi,
Before talking about my problem, I want to apologize if this is not the correct forum, but it is the more adecuated that I have found. Is about a problem in Windows 2000, which I know it is out of support, but in my company I still have to administer several
hundreds of them.
I have several Windows 2000 failover clusters, and all of them show the same problem, which consists of the following:
Each cluster has two nodes. Each node has 5 network adapters. Each adapter hosts a connection name: Lan-1 is the name of the network associated to adapter 1, Lan-2 to adapter 2, and so on till Lan-5 to adapter 5.
Lan-5 is used as heartbeat for the cluster: is connected to the Lan-5 in the other node via a cross-over UTP cable.
Lan-1 and Lan-2 in each node, forms a network team named TEAM, used to access to the nodes for administration via remote desktop.
Last, each node has Lan-3 and Lan-4. Lan-3 is used for the cluster resources, and Lan-4 as a backup, just in case Lan-3 fails.
And now, the strange and surprising thing: if I change the name of Lan-4, or change any configuration of the connection, the name changes to Lan-4(2). If I make any other change, the name changes again to Lan-4(2)(2). I can't get rid of the numbers between
parentesis, and the number of them grows and grows.
Any idea about what is happening?

Hi,
As you mentioned, the Windows 2000 has already stop supported, personal experience is you can try to use the cmdlet ipconfig /all to show if the network adapter name is right
or not, or you can try to remove the lan3 adapter register information (backup first) and driver then restart to monitor the status

Question to Steve - connection names

Currently we are looking for a way to give concurrency control in a XSQL application to our users.
Our Scenario is (in 2 browser sessions):
User A : select * from xy where key = 'ABC' for update
User B : select * from xy where key = 'ABC' for update
Our test results are:
User A: connection="conn1" (scott/tiger@localhost:1521:ORCL)
User B: same connection name as User A
-> no error (probably because it's the same transaction?)
User A: connection="conn1" (scott/tiger@localhost:1521:ORCL)
User B: connection="conn2" (scott/tiger@localhost:1521:ORCL)
-> error as wanted
(By the way: this behaviour changed from XSQL 1.0.3.0 to XSQL 1.0.4.3. If autocommit=true we get an error "fetch from an already closed cursor". So we have to set autocommit=false here.)
Our plan is to define 50 or more named connections in XSQLConfig.cml pointing to the same database and the same oracle user.
The pre-login page will use one standard connection. After successful authenticating the user we do a "Select for update" on a table which contains the 50 connections names, too, and connect the user in all future pages with his own "connection".
Are we far out with this approach ?
Or can we reach the same result easier ?
Thank you for your help.

We want to implement in this way a successor for our client/server-based legacy application. It will run only in intranets, but many users work over ISDN lines.

The XSQL servlet is our choice because of
the very well-design structure, best integration capabilites via Java (if neccessary), the content rich HTML pages and the capability to do our business logic in the well known PL/SQL.
A detail case: A user opens an item record and wants to edit it. Other users shall not have the right to do similar work on the same item.
Without this technique we see lost update problems if not impelementing a manual timestamp access mechanism.
In the described case we know the maximal number of users for our application, so we could implement enough database connection names.
Would you propose another way for this application intention ?
Andreas<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
You could use the newest version of DB Prism which uses JDBC 2.0 extended API to manage transaction by URL demarcation.
This new functionality use the same physical connection but independent transaction over JTA specification.
Look at this demo on-line, if you open a new browser with the link opened session/transaction you could see that same connection reuses scott's connection but open a new branch transaction.
This transaction support by url demarcation works as OAS transaction support.

Jdev 11g Production: Connection Name FOD Not Defined (Tutorial: ADF Visuali

I tried out the following tutorial: ADF Visualization Components. I follow the step by step to install Jdev 11g and the FOD schemas. The step by step tutorial is helpful but ran into a problem in the beginning when I tried to run the FOD Module as stated. The following message came up when I right click the FODModule and select run, "Connection Name FOD Not Defined". I have created the connection as stated in the tutorial and can access the FOD database and see the tables.
I search the form and I don't see anyone else running into the same problem. Can any help me out.

Hi,
try the following: Select the model project and expand it until you see the ApplicationModule. Right click the module and choose "configure" from the context menu. Then "edit". Set the database connection to JEE data source. Rin the app again

Connection name not defined

I recently upgraded JDeveloper to 11.1.2.2.0 and now when I try to run the sample from The Ultimate Human Resource I get the following error:
<DCBindingContainer> <cacheException> [74] * * * BindingContainer caching EXCEPTION:oracle.jbo.JboException
<DCBindingContainer> <cacheException> [75] oracle.jbo.ConfigException: JBO-33003: Connection name hr_db is not defined.
I checked the bc4j.cfg and the model.jpr and they both point to the hr_db which I see in my Application Resources and can connect to. What changed or what am I doing wrong?
I am really enthusiastic about learning JDeveloper as I believe it is the future of Oracle.

Thank you Frank!!! That was the problem.
I started my career some 30 years ago as a main framer, got into client sever and then Peoplesoft 10 years ago. Now I am learning Jdeveloper in the hope that I can make another career change. I believe the technology that you have developed is one that blends coding with point and click to create metadata that melds the visual with the java classes it creates brilliantly.
I am living proof that an old dog can indeed learn new tricks!
I very much appreciate your help and I look forward to meeting you if you are at oracle Open World this year. I follow your postings, Oracle Insider videos and respect the fact that you are JDeveloper guru!!!!

Bug? using :: in connection name

I've confirmed some strage activity with certain characters in connection names using SQLDeveloper 1.0.0.15.57 on a Mac Powerbook G4 10.4 .7 connecting to Oracle 9.2.0.7.0.
If I name the connection test::user and attempt to edit a trigger I get a java stack trace that ended with (no connection). Sorry, I didn't copy the message before moving on ... but ...
If I rename the connection test_user and attempt to edit the same trigger all is well.
If I rename the connection back to test::user I no longer get the java stack trace, just a blank screen with no trigger text.

Hi Anuj,
Yes i am using SOA Suite 11g and i have chosen the right platform class as i am able to insert into other tables in DB2.The problem is in one table which has # appended in the column name.e.g.
'abc#'.# charater is not supported in the wizard as the column name and that is why this error.I changed from backend and than tested i got the same error in the em.I need way to handle the columns have names like 'abc#'.
Thanks

I am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?

i am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Using different data source and connection name

Hi,
We have a requirement where the data source for our application is already configured on the server by name like MyDBDataSource. But the database connection name in our application is like My_DB. So application module is using data source name like My_DBDS. If i change data source name in application module configuration manually to be MyDBDataSource, then it fails at runtime. This has been identified as bug as mentioned in this post
http://andrejusb.blogspot.in/2009/01/practical-adf-security-deployment-on.html
Is this still valid? I am using 11.1.1.6 version. Also want to know if there is any workaround for this ? If i change the name in web.xml at deployment time using script, will it work ?
Thanks

Hi Ami,
Is your issue get solved ?
I would like to mention few things about the database connection in application & data source in Weblogic.
1. When you create a database connection in Application (for example say connection name as hr) then in the Application Module Database Configurations in the bc4j.xcfg File Custom JDBCDataSource will be set as <Custom JDBCDataSource="java:comp/env/jdbc/hrDS"/> for both ApplnModule shared & Local. So when you create data source in weblogic it is better to create the JNDI Name like jdbc/hrDS ( ie between the '/' and 'DS' you have to specify the name of database connection you created in the application ).What ever the Data source name is no matter.
2.If you change the JNDI name of data source later like jdbc/hrconnectionDS then it is better to delete the old hr connection from application and recreate a connection as hrconnection. After that you have to edit bc4j.xcfg file in the Application Module--> Configurations and set Custom JDBCDataSource as below for both local & shared config.
<Custom JDBCDataSource="java:comp/env/jdbc/hrconnectionDS"/>
I hope this will help you.
Gijith.

TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
Good luck and do report back.

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other Wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home Wifi is with Att uverse

Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home wifi is with ATT Uverse. I cheched the IP address on my laptop and its different than on my Ipod although it on the same network.

Move off WEP to WPA or, preferably, to WPA2 (as recommended by Apple). WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be cracked in seconds by any hacker).
Note that each device on a network has a unique IP address but if your address starts with 169 then you did not get a valid IP address assigned to you by your router. If restarting the router did not cure the problem then you should check for a firmware update for your router.

Can SAP GRC AC 5.3 connect without any problem with SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise?

hello,
I went to the PAM in the SAP Marketplace to see if SAP GRC AC 5.3 could connect to SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise but I can't see all the "Add-On Product Version for...", it's cut off.
Can SAP GRC AC 5.3 connect without any problem with SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise?
If I can't is there any proof about it? I have to show it to a client.
Best Regards,
Pablo Mortera,

Pablo,
GRC AC 5.3 works perfectly fine with SAP's R/3 4.6c, mySAP ERP 4.7 and ECC systems. In fact we have two 4.7 Enterprise systems connected to GRC AC 5.3 system.
You can get the details of supported SAP ERP systems under prerequisite section of Info page of GRC AC 5.3 , it can be accessed on marketplace at -
Downloads-->Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group > SAP Solutions for Governance, Risk, and Compliance>SAP GRC Access Control>SAP GRC ACCESS CONTROL>SAP GRC ACCESS CONTROL 5.3
Just ensure to have proper BASIS and ABAP support pack level as mentioned in prerequisites.

Hi everybody,
I bought the Toshiba TV 40TL938 french version ( 40TL938F ), in an online store.
I have a few question / problem, and i hope you could help me.
- when i play MKV vido files via USB, integrated subtitles works well but for me they are too small, too thin and too white. Can i make them biger, larger and with a black shadow around it ? if yes, how could i do this ?
- when i play MKV vido files via DLNA (with XBMC), there is no subtitles anymore. Whose fault is it ? my TV ? XBMC ? do you how i can fix this ?
- does anybody know if DTS will be supported sooner or later on 2012 toshiba TV models such as my 40TL938
Thank you very much by advance for your help !

Hi !
Thank you for your answer,
I saw this but there is no way to change the subtitle setting.
In "subtitle type" the only thing i can do is to swich from "normal" to "deaf and hearing impaired" ("sourd et malentendant" in french).
So i guess i will have to get used to it
Anyway, thank you for your help !

DTS is an audio format, such as AC3 or mp4. This TV doesn't support DTS, so when i play movie (such as MKV file) with audio in DTS, there is no sound (but the video is ok).
