Database connection dialog no longer available

I want to add a connection to the connections in SQL Developer. However I cannot as I cannot access the database connection dialog.
I tried in different ways :
- plus sign above the connections
- editing an existing connection
- menu option : editing - properties when standing on a connection
- menu option : file - new and choose for new database connection
I do not get an error when clicking on these options. I just does not start any action.
When starting up SQL developer I see this in the log pane : "Exception firing addinsLoaded to oracle.jdevimpl.vcs.VCSManagerImpl$6@7d91275b"
Maybe this error is related?
I know as a workaround you can import a connection from an XML file. Tried that, it works, I see an extra connection in the list but I do not manage to use it to connect to the database.
Would be great to access the database connection dialog.

The specific error you have listed is related to versioning support - do you use this? If not, then I would suggest switching off versioning support in the preferences (Tools > Preferences > Extensions) and trying again.
If that doesn't work, the error you list has been reported (along with a number of other errors, which you may or may not be getting) in Start-up error "DatabaseConnections has no JNDI context so cannot list ..." - do you have an ssoShell.exe running? If so, does killing it help SQL Developer?

[3.2.20.09]Select Connection dialog no longer remember previous selection

Hi.
With the latest version a new (relatively minor) annoyance has been introduced. If you go to
Reports -> Data Dictionary Reports -> PLSQL -> Search Source Code
a "Select Connection" popup dialog appears. In older versions, the item selected on last search (even from different SQLDev session) was automatically selected. Now I'm prompted always with the first connection.
Can you PLEASE fixt it?
TIA.
Alessandro

Hi,
In my experience this problem is much more brought. It doesn't seem to remember any connection in any situation.
The connection dialog now always displays the first connection from your list.
pre 3.2 if I'd open up a script an execute it would have last used connection preselected and I could simply hit enter and execute
Now if I open n scripts with the intent to execute on the same connection I have to reselect it for n times.
Indeed, if this is intentional: why? If not: please fix
On a side note: Showing a bit of hierarchy like the connection explorer in the connection dialog wouldn't hurt either. As I have many connections for different projects/customers it's painstaking to find the right one in the drop down. It's much to long to easily select from.

No TimesTen tab in New/Select Database Connection dialog

SQL Developer 1.5.1.54.40
Tools/Preferences/Extensions/TimesTen is 1.5.1.1.2.
Java 1.6.0_07
The help says there should be a TimesTen tab in addition to the Oracle and Access tabs, but there is not.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm having exactly the same problem.
SQL Developer version 1.5.1 Build MAIN-5440
TimesTen Release 7.0.5.0.0
Windows XP
Times Ten Data Manager service is up and running, I can connect to TT databases using ttisql utility and everything works fine. The "About->Extensions" shows Oracle SQL Developer Extension oracle.sqldeveloper.timesten 1.5.1.1.2 Loaded. CLASSPATH=c:\TimesTen\tt70_32\lib\ttjdbc5.jar is added to the class path.
Unfortunately, the TimesTen tab is not visible in the New Connection wizzard, and adding TimesTen JDBC driver by hand brings it up, but the tab is useless and every attempt to define the connection to a TT database results in the same error as in the previous post.
I'd appreciate any help.
Mikolaj Morzy
UPDATE
Stupid me, when running SQL Developer from Launchy or TotalCommander the DOS session was not reading the environment correctly. I was looking at Start->Run->Cmd environment (with CLASSPATH set correctly), but running SQL Developer from TotalCommander and Launchy.

Recently purchased a new mac and now my camcorder (PV-GS300) which worked with a firewire connection is no longer available on the new mac ports - they are thunderbolt - how do I download my videos - I do not want to purchase a new camcorder?

Went to Apple store and the "genius" was no help - Spent $70.00 for 2 cords - 1 that is the thunderbolt connection and the 2nd was for a belkin cord that was suppose to convert and make my old firewire cord compatible - when I went to hook everything up there was no way to attach my old cord and the new belkin cord converter is not with my camera - extremely frustrated

Sorry. Answered while my coffee was brewing and didn't read your post carefully enough.
I guess you can consider my replies as bumps then.
Hopefully someone with a better idea will see it because I have none now.

Wireless connectivity no longer available after TWC adds digital phone service

Hi All,
My problem is that my wireless Internet connectivity is no longer available after Time Warner Cable added digital phone service to my existing TV and broadband Internet service.
Prior to having the digital phone service added, my set up was a Motorola Surfboard cable modem connected to my Linksys WRT54G wireless router, with three computers (two Win XP desktops and one Win 7 laptop) wired to the Linksys router. I had wired Internet connectivity on all three computers. Importantly, I could also access the Internet wirelessly from the laptop instead of using a wire.
AFTER having the digital phone service added, my set up is the same except that now an Arris Touchstone Telephony Gateway (TG862G) has replaced the Motorola Surfboard cable modem. I still have wired Internet connectivity on all three computers. However, now I cannot access the Internet wirelessly from the laptop. This is a real problem in that often others in the house need access to the wireless network as well.
I should also mention that (from a wired connection) I cannot access the Linksys router any longer via 192.168.1.1. Now, the Linksys router seems to be "invisible," almost as though it were a pass-through device. I can access the Arris gateway at 192.168.0.1 (for what it's worth), but not the Linksys router.
Also, not sure this is important, but some time ago (when my wireless was working) I had configured the Linksys router so that it wouldn't broadcast the SSID. Through the Win 7 "Network and Sharing Center" I have tried to "manually connect" to my (hidden) wireless network. The message indicates that my hidden network already exists, but I still can't connect to it.
I've seen a few potential remedies involving power cycling the gateway and modem in certain sequences, setting the gateway's NAT mode to Bridged, etc., but nothing has worked so far. Time Warner Cable's only advice is for me to purchase (yet) another service so that the gateway can provide the wireless access, but I since my Linksys router worked before I'd rather stick with that method (and avoid yet another charge).
I would be very grateful for any help you could provide for this problem.
Thanks in advance.

1. Don't hide your SSIDs
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28653/debunking-myths-is-hiding-your-wireless-ssid-really-more-secure...
2. I assume the Arris is also a wireless router. Use inSSIDer to find the best non-overlapping, non-interfering wireless channels. Change the wireless channels on both the WRT54G and Arris if necessary.

Database connection dailog opens with missing fields

Greetings all,
I have one user who has a couple reports that do not display all the fields in the database connection dialog box when she attempts to refresh the data in a report.
Normally this dialog box opens with the Datasource, UserID (of the last person who saved data with the report) and Database prefilled, so only the Password needs to be completed or the UserID changed.
For her (and this is only happening on a couple reports), only the Datasource text box is visible. The datasource is correctly filled in but in order to see the other fields, she needs to click the next button and then click back. Then all three fields - UserID, Password and Database need to be entered.
This only started in the past couple months and so far is only occuring with 2 reports, both new. Other new reports are acting normally.
We are using Crystal Reports XI with the latest service packs. Our reports are in a shared folder on the network. So far I have not been able to duplicate this behavior on anyone else' machine.
Any idea's on what might be causing this or how to correct it?
TIA,
Bob

I would check that persons database client and/or version of MDAC. May also be a permission issue on tables.

Create database connection with Mysql

Hi, all:
inside JDeveloper, i try to create a database connection for Mysql (third party
JDBC driver). I input all needed parameters into
JDeveloper database connection dialog, and test connection, the error message
says 'Unable to find driver org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver". The jar file contains driver
is listed in system classpath, and Mysql and MM-Mysql JDBC driver are tested with
other applications and there is no problem.
So, what i should do to create such a connection ??
Any help will be appreciated. thank you in advance.
kevin.

The connectio URL could look like this:
(leave the User-, Password-, and Role-fields, in the tab before, empty)
Java Class Name: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test?ultradevhack=true&?user=myuser&?password=mypassword

When the time of database connection got ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID

Test failed: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

The error means it is connecting to a server with Oracle on it but it does not know of a database with the SID you have supplied.
You say "Test failed" - are you talking about the Create Database Connection dialog?
If so then check the values in the Host Name and SID boxes. If you have a DBA then verify these are the correct values (also check the listener port with him/her, normally 1521).
Is your SID just a single word or with dots e.g. of the form mydb.mycompany.world? If the latter then try using the Service Name rather than the SID.

When using the Database Connectivity Toolset, reads and writes with long binary fields are incompatible.

I am trying to write LabVIEW Variants to long binary fields in a .mdb file using the Database Connectivity Toolset. I get errors when trying to convert the field back to a variant after reading it back from the database.
I next tried flattening the variant before writing it and ultimately wound up doing the following experiments:
1) If I use DB Tools Insert Data to write an ordinary string and read it back using a DB Tools Select Data, the string is converted from ASCII to Unicode.
2) If I use DB Tools Create Parameterized Query to do an INSERT INTO or an UPDATE operation, specifying that the data is BINARY, then read it back using a DB Tools Select Data,
the length of the string is prepended to the string itself as a big-endian four-byte integer.
I can't think of any way to do a parameterized read, although the mechanism exists to return data via parameters.
Presuming that this same problem affects Variants when they are written to the database and read back, I could see why I get an error. At least with flattened strings I have the option of discarding the length bytes from the beginning of the string.
Am I missing something here?

David,
You've missed the point. When a data item is flattened to a string, the first four bytes of the string are expected to be the total length of the string in big-endian binary format. What is happening here is that preceding this four-byte length code is another copy of the same four bytes. If an ordinary string, "abcdefg" is used in place of the flattened data item, it will come back as <00><00><00><07>abcdefg. Here I've used to represent a byte in hexadecimal notation. This problem has nothing to do with flattening and unflattening data items. It has only to do with the data channel consisting of writing to and reading from the database.
I am attaching three files that you can use to demonstrate the problem. The VI file c
ontains an explanation of the problem and instructions for installing and operating the demonstration.

SQL Service Broker 2012: the connection was closed by the remote end, or an error occurred while receiving data: '64(The specified network name is no longer available.)'

Anyone can help with the below issue please? Much appreciated.
We have about 2k+ messages in sys.transmission_queue
Telnet to the ports 4022 is working fine.
Network connectivity has been ruled out.
The firewalls are OFF.
We also explicitly provided the permissions to the service account on Server A and Server B to the Service broker end points.
GRANT
CONNECT ON
ENDPOINT <broker> <domain\serviceaccount>
Currently for troubleshooting purposes, the DR node is also out of the Availability Group, which means that we right now have only one replica the server is now a traditional cluster.
Important thing to note is when a SQL Server service is restarted, all the messages in the sys.transmission queue is cleared immediately. After about 30-40 minutes, the errors are continued to be seen with the below
The
connection was
closed by the
remote end,
or an
error occurred while
receiving data:
'64(The specified network name is no longer available.)'

We were able to narrow down the issue to an irrelevant IP coming into play during the data transfer. We tried ssbdiagnose runtime and found this error:

The IP that corresponds to routing address is no where configured within the SSB. We are yet unsure why this IP is being referred despite not being configured anywhere. We identified that this IP belongs to one of nodes other SQL Server cluster, which has
no direct relation to the source server. We failed over that irrelevant SQL Server cluster and made another node active and to our surprise, the data from sys.transmission_queue started flowing. Even today we are able to reproduce the issue, if we bring
back this node [XX.XXX.XXX.199] as active. Since, its a high business activity period, we are not investigating further until we get an approved downtime to find the root cause of it.
When we get a approved downtime, we will bring the node [XX.XXX.XXX.199] as active and we will be running Network Monitor, Process Monitor and the SSB Diagnose all in parallel to capture the process/program that is accessing the irrelevant IP.
Once, we are able to nail down the root cause, I will share more information.

Job output is no longer available in the database control file

Im running my rman backup with Oracle Enterprise manager grid control 10.2.0.1.
In nocatalog mode.
When I look for the job output in the "View Backup Report" section, it says
Job output is no longer available in the database control file.
Here is my rman setup:

anyone knows why i cannot see my rman job output?

The backup is usually the last one. And it's the day before.
If i go to the JOB tab in oem, then click on the job detail, i can see the detail of my rman backup. But i cannot see the backup detail in the View Backup Report section off the database. It says the error message : Job output is no longer available in the database control file

Output is no longer available in the database control file

Hi All
in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) - on suse Linux 9, OEM (10.2.0.1.0); I'm getting when I try to look at RMAN reports that databases reports are "Job output is no longer available in the database control file." - one one database.
I've searched forum and only found one thread
(25/9/2007 - Re: rman backups )
that doesn't have any conclusion to the problem. Has anyone seen this problem before, and do you know if it means there is a problem with the control file?
Thanks, DW

Looks like Bug 4659734
I totally agree with what you say grylew "If you use rman catalogue you shouldn't get this error"; for me, on a Suse 9 Linux server (10.2.0.1.0 db), the error eventually found was ORA-19921 ;
RMAN-06900: WARNING: unable to generate V$RMAN_STATUS or V$RMAN_OUTPUT row
RMAN-06901: WARNING: disabling update of the V$RMAN_STATUS and V$RMAN_OUTPUT rows
ORACLE error from target database:
ORA-19921: maximum number of 64 rows exceeded
Which turns out to say it is a bug fixable by only 10.2.0.4.0 patch or 11g. So awaiting 10.2.0.4.0 I guess.
It all seems to be error assocaited with control file space; and I'f rather keep my control files healthy thanks.
Besides all this; for me the problem is pretty innocuous; it means OEM mis-reports success of archivelog backups; I can see they're successful in 'job's but not in 'backup reports'.
Thanks all for help, DW

Hi Guys does anyone know of a way i can get cyclops speed camera alert to work through bluetooth incar hands free kit , i used to be able to connect it via an app called drivesafely but this app is no longer available in apple store ????????????

Hi Guys does anyone know of a way i can get cyclops speed camera alert to work through bluetooth incar hands free kit , i used to be able to connect it via an app called drivesafely but this app is no longer available in apple store ????????????

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Dbxplorer dialog won't allow me to enter database connection name

I'm trying to create a new database connection with dbxplorer. It pops up a dialog asking for the database connection name, but it won't accept any text input. I can't get any further without the ability to enter a name in this dialog.
This is an existing project that was not created with any Workshop wizzards. I would still think that I could use dbxplorer on an existing project.
Is there a way to make this work or a patch for this?

We are actively working this issue and hope it will be resolved in our next release targeted for this summer.
We are evaluating some workarounds, but there were some changes in the JDK that prompted this, and we are still assessing to see if related to jvm regression, api change, or a bug.
Please use the older JDK as a workaround as an interim solution

Connect dialog - JDBC Database string

Hi,
I'm trying to use Query Builder (or any other tool that must connect to a database) on my Informix DBMS (through JDBC). When Connect dialog apperas I enter User Name, Password and... yes what about Database?? I tried to use full URL (like jdbc:informix-sqli://hostname:port/database:INFORMIXSERVER=xxx),
only hostname:port/database:INFORMIXSERVER=xxx (assuming, that Reports will use settings from jdbcpds.conf) and just basename. Nothing worked. Either i got message:
"REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database
ORA-06401: NETCMN: (something about wrong designate of driver)"
or:
"REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database
ORA-12154: TNS: Can't count service name"
Q: What string should i enter in Database field in a Connect dialog box??

Hi Navneet,
thank you for quick answer but I'm affraid that's not what I wanted to know.
I've already read about PDS and I'm using it to my JDBC Query, now I need want an ordinary SQL Query, so I click on SQL Query icon, then I chose Query Builder and I get this dialog box named "Connection" with 3 fields: User, Password and Database. I've tried many different combination with Database field (more or less covered in PDS document).
Q: Is there possibility to query other DBMS than Oracle through "Query Builder"?
