Connection to db works with ezconnect but fails with tnsnames.ora

Hi,
When I try to connect to remote datbase using 10g ezconnect, it works fine. But when I tried to connect to same database using tnsnames.ora, it fails:

ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specifiedstates, in no uncertain terms, that the system can not find the @mrap in the TNS translation methods. Usually that indicates a problem in finding the correct entry in the correct tnsnames.ora file. Some related thoughts:
1) The LIST of methods allowed is found in SQLNET.ORA on the client. If multiple methods are in the list, the client will step through the methods.
It is possible that you do not have method calling the TNSNAMES.ORA file in the list. (You appear to have that.)
2) The mrap must be one of the entries on the left hand side of te equals sign of a stanza.
MRAP = (DESCRIPTION (appears to provide that)
3) The SQLNET.ORA could provide a 'default domain' to append on the end of the lookup value in TNSNAMES.ORA
Not sure whether your post of the sqlnet.ora selectred only a few lines or the entire file.
4) Variable issues can exist.
- The TNS_ADMIN variable may be used to force the use of a specific directory instead of %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin .
- ORACLE_HOME can be adjusted by a variety of methods, and may be in both teh registry and the system environment

Unit test runs perfectly fine with NUnit but fails when run from TestExplorer

Hello all,
I have a TestProject, Harmony.Tests. In there, I have a method AddApplicationEvent()
which calls another method Send(InvokeRequestMessage requestMessage) which calls a webservice (OperationHandlerBrokerWebService).
The code snippet looks like this. This is not the complete code but a part where we are calling the web service. It fails on the underlined Italic line of code.
OperationHandlerBrokerWebService brokerService = new OperationHandlerBrokerWebService();
brokerService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
brokerService.Url = address;
brokerService.Timeout = timeoutInMilliseconds;
byte[] serializedResponseMessage = brokerService.InvokeOperationHandler(serializedRequestMessage);
The same test works and passed fine when I ran it with NUnit, but failed with following exception when I tried to run it from TestExplorer.

Hi Tina,
Thanks for your reply.
I do have NUnit adapter installed. I even noticed that the test runs fine with NUnit GUI and also if I run it through Resharper Test Explorer window.
As you can see in the image above the same test is passed when I ran it from Resharper Unit Test Explorer window but fails when I ran it from Test Explorer window. I also captured the information on fiddler.
There was a significant difference in the Header Content length. Also under the User-Agent property the protocol versions are different.
Not sure why VSTest ExecutionEngine is picking a different version.
The UnitTest in question is calling a webservice method which in turn calls a method from another referenced project.

Problem : App works with Sun App server 8.0 but fails with 8.1

Hi All
     I am experiencing some strange problem with executing my JSF application with Sun App Server.
     I have an EAR deployed on Sun Application Server 8.0 and 8.1.
     Strangely it works quite fine with 8.0 but fails with 8.1.
     In my JSP page ..I have a dummy component whose getter method is used as a "FormLoad" event of the page.
     <h:form id="imageForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     <h:messages showDetail="true" />
     <table width="980" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#A9B8C2">
          <tr>
<td>
               <h:inputHidden value="#{Screen1.initializeService}"/>
          <h:selectOneListbox styleClass="style2" id="cmbMiddleArea" immediate="true" value="#{Screen1.selectedMiddleArea}">
          <f:selectItems value="#{Screen1.middleAreaList}" />
     </h:selectOneListbox>
     In my backing bean i have ..
     public String getInitializeService() {
          ..... Retrieve all the data from DB to initialize all the components on the JSP page
          .......setMiddleAreaList......
          .......setSelectedMiddleArea.....
          ........set the values of the individal component...
     I am retrieving all the data from DB in this getter method and intializing the components on the JSP page.
     I have also checked the code generated for JSP by both the servers.I am posting the code here for reference although
     i did not find any significant difference between the two...

     Now the actual problem is "getInitializeService" method never gets called when i deploy and run the application on Sun App Server8.1
     However with Sun App Server 8.0 it woeks perfectly fine.
     Can anybody help me in resolving these issues ?

Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
Thanks,

RAC Install fails with "OCR upgrade failed with (-1073741819) on 10.2.0

I am trying to install RAC 10.2.0 with two Server 2003 R2 nodes connected to a fiber channel SAN. I have set up the shared storage, created the extended partitions, and setup the unformatted no drive letter volumes. Both servers see the unformatted volumes (and no others do). The preinstallation checks work fine and the installations works fine until the first configuration assistant runs. That would be the "Oracle Clusterware Configuration Assistant". It tries to run crssetup.config.bat and fails on step 3 (configuring OCR Repository) with
ocr upgrade failed with (-1073741819)
If I uninstall clusterware and try again it will not show the OCR and Voting disks as available disks until I delete the volumes and partitions and recreate them. I have run the precheck batch files and they show everything as good as well. When I define the OCR and Voting drives in the clusterware setup I do not select format or assign drive letter. Every time I try to do the install I get the exact same error.
Is there anything I am missing or some trick or patch I may not have done?

Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
It's the same problem in the other feed.

Audio CD not recognized with Mini but reads with Macbook?

Error message saying Audio CD not recognized with Mini but reads with Macbook pro. Both machines are using the same Samsung external usb dvd/cd player.
I've tried rebooting the mini, cleaning the disk, unplugging the drive and the Mini still won't recognize the CD's (it's a 3 cd set and all 3 disks aren't working on the Mini.
When I use the same disks and drive with my Macbook Pro everything works fine.
Any suggestions?

Hi Jay,
Certainly a strange one!?
Are these commercial or self made Discs?
Have you tried CD/DVD sharing on the MBP & see if the Mini can read them in the MBP?

Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

The error code 0x80041013 translates to:

BB does sync media with PC but not with Mac

my BB does sync media with PC but not with Mac. At my Mac I got 'Insert media card'. How can this be solved as PC is no problem?

I got the Bold 9790. I am not sure which OS, does that matter? Are there OS versions not compatible?

Connection to db works with ezconnect but fails with tnsnames.ora
