Database control won't run in secure mode

I'm following the instructions displayed by the database configuration manager after creating a database. These instructions configure the database control to run in secure mode using https. I get an error with the following command run from the OS command line while in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory:
emctl.bat secure dbconsole -sysman_pwd password
I get the error message "Failed to create EM root key."
The emdctl.trc file has the following entry: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."
The ORACLE_SID has already been set. The database control is down. The "emctl config emkey -repos" command completed successfully.
I'm using Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Windows 2003 server. I'm running this command on the database server. The database control was selected in the database configuration manager. This database control does run successfully in http mode, but I can't configure it for https.
Does anyone know why the target machine would actively refuse this connection?

Have you tried it without the -sysman_pwd flag ?

My PlextorPX-708A won't run in DMA mode

My PlextorPX-708A won't run in DMA mode I've tried reinstalling it and this was also a fresh install of winXP with Service Pack1a, my other dvd dive which is made by shuttle and is older will run in DMA mode and PIO mode but the plextor DVd writer won't and when I use it in PIO mode music and videos play slow in it what is the problem, I have a MSI K7N2 Delta mobo and the two drives are hooked on the secondary IDE channel and I tried swapping both drives to slave or master What is the problem
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
Bobby: When you are booting and the machine detects your HD's and CD-ROM's sometimes the firmware version is shown along with the drive's ID details, press "Pause" on the keyboard if you don't get time to read it!
Another way is to go Start>Settings>Control Panel> Double-click "System" then "Hardware" tab - then click "Device Manager" look for "DVD/CD-ROM Drives" in the list of hardware and then click on "+" on the left hand side - your CD-ROM drives should now be listed - right-click on the drive you want the info on, then down the menu to "Properties" then click on the "Details" tab - this should show you the "Device ID" and hopefully the firmware version. (my apologies for writing this step-by-step guide but I though I'd include it just in case)
Or another way is explained on Plextor's site here:

DW MX 04 Database Controls won't work

This is the first job I have had working with database app.
My data base has been built. I can see all my tables in the
database window of DW. So I have a connection. Forms were made on
asp.net c# files. I insert an ASP.NET object from the insert menu
to rest and I get the following error. Server Error in '/'

Don't know why this error keeps showing up. If anyone is
familiar with DW controls and control errors please give me some
advice.
I went to the following page to download an extension but it

MX2004 software is also somewhat antiquated and no longer supported by Adobe. So it shouldn't surprise you that the tools from nearly a decade ago are obsolete today. The web itself has changed significantly since 2004!
Web standards have moved from HTML3 to HTML5. Layouts have departed from old school nested tables to more efficient CSS. Unlike a decade ago, today's web devices include everything from hand held smartphones & tablets to laptops, desktops and TV displays. So it's not possible to stand still and keep pace with the evolving web. If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind.
CSS is not an extension. HTML = content. CSS = Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is used to style your content. With CSS you can make an ordinary list look like a very cool menu with buttons, borders, shadows, drop-down and rollover effects. If you master CSS, you can do some very creative things with it. However, coding skills are essential.
Below is an example of an unordered list styled with CSS to make a nice horizontal drop-menu.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Multi-colored-drop-menu.shtml
To further illustrate the efficiency and power of CSS, look at CSS Zen Garden.
http://www.csszengarden.com/
Every page on the right panel contains exactly the same HTML code as the first. The only difference is the CSS code.
The shift to CSS is intended to help web designers keep styles separate from content. Learning to work with CSS will make a you better web designer and save countless hours of tedious re-coding when you decide to change the look of your site. It's much easier to edit one file instead of many.
Below are some links to help you learn more about how to work with CSS.

Since updating to XI 11.0.10.32 Reader won't run in Protected Mode. How do I fix this?

The "tell me more" was no help at all. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 up to date with patches, and AVG Ultimate 2015 with ZEN for internet security, and configuration optimisation.

Most likely it will work if you select 'Always open with Protected Mode disabled'.

Flash Player won't Run in Unsafe Mode anymore

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I installed this new version of Safari (6.2), but it ended up breaking Flash Player and the ability to run Flash in Unsafe Mode. "Why would I want to run it in unsafe mode?" you might ask. I use Hear an EQ to improve the audio quality, and the only way to make it work with Safari and Flash Player is by using it in Unsafe Mode. And that's another reason why I still use ML, because Mavericks is so sandboxed that Hear won't even work on the system sounds, like Alerts and Quick Look.
If anyone have a solution to this, I more then appreciate your help. If there is no solution, could you send me the link to the old version of Safari and how to downgrade? I think the old version is the 6.1.2, not sure.
Thank You,
Jake.

It's installing correctly if it's in your Add-ons manager. The "plugin" is 6mb. The rest is WAY bigger.
See:
The rest of the problem ISN'T with Flash Player. It's with IE11.
This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Thread won't run in release mode

My application runs fine in Debug mode. I have several threads. A couple just blink some LEDS. In release mode they don't blink and my main function that is triggered by a button which runs a callback function that launches another thread doesn't work.

Hello,
it's difficult to try guessing what's happening with no informations available. Apparently ther's something that's causing a program crash in release mode and you suppose it relates to some problem in memory allocation. Additionally, it seems your program is consuming system resources until it fills up all available memory.
Are you freeing the dynamic memory when no longer needed? Are you sure you don't have any memory leak that can cause this increment in memory occupation? You must double check that every dynamic array allocated is freed when no longer used; you may want to swap part of the dynamic memory to disk if you are not using it constantly.
Additionally, have you a consistent and robust error checking method that logs all errors found to the user interface or to disk?
Another hint if you have CVI2009+ can be to activate extended debugging level in Build Options, next run the program some time in debug mode and close it: if some resources are not properly freed the Resource tracking window should appear with all allocated resources listed that are not correctly freed by the code.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

I only have 1 database , and it is configured to backup using Control file and not Recovery catalog ( which is the default)...
What additional steps do i have to do, to take a simple backup using database control ? I am not sure why it says Database not available...while DB is indeed available and open.
any help is appreciated..
thanks

I, too, am receiving these same errors when I do my backups. The sysadmin took the systems down over the weekend and the backup has failed ever since. Database is up, ORACLE_SID looks fine, what could be wrong? This nightly backup worked before system went down. I can connect as sysdba using the ORACLE_SID as set.
Thanks,

Firefox 24 and 25 won't run on server identities?

I downloaded the last update, 24, which worked fine on local identities. When I try to open it in a server/network identity, it never opens, just hangs - I tried opening in safe mode (opt key + open, choose safe mode) and it acts like it will open, but never loads, and I can't click any buttons on the toolbar (or I can click one, but nothing ever loads). Resetting doesn't work either. It does the same thing on all computers, only server identities.
I've tried creating a new profile, deleting old profiles, changing places suffixes to ".old", deleting prefs file - nothing worked. Firefox never opens, so I can't do any of the support related to the toolbar.
I think it's related to an add-on, because it first crashed when trying to find compatibility with add-ons. It won't run in safe mode, though, so I can't tell.
My next step is going to be trying to find where all the add-ons are located, and delete them manually, but I'm not sure where to start.
If anyone has any other advice, that would be great!

Hi,
Thanks, but it didn't work~~
I tried to delete the extensions from the folder first, but when I tried to open firefox, it had the same problem.
I actually removed both the Mozilla folder and the Firefox folder as a last resort, and it's still not working.
The window pops up, with the "bookmarks and history system will not be functional... Some security software can cause this problem" error message. The "Learn More" button is not clickable.
I've disabled all security software and even my firewall, and it's still happening. My extensions/addons are deleted.

I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation. They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool. You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

Run Singlular Database Control and Grid Control Agents at the same time????

Hello,
I have walked into a new job where one of my 1st tasks is installing and configuring EM Grid Control version 10.2.0.3. Most of the individual databases already have singular EM/Database Control also set up for basic monitoring - some are 10.2.0.1 databases; some are 9.2.0.7 databases.
Can I continue to run the existing singular EM Database Controls for monitoring and managing the databases while I am getting connected, the new agents up and running, and the Grid Control templates and alerts and notification fully set up?
Or will I have to shut down those agents fully prior to installing the new 10.2.0.3 agents???
I am hoping so since they use different communication ports of 1158 for the singular Database Controls versus 4889 for Enterprise Wide Grid Control.
Thanks for any help in clarifying this.
KL

OK, so as long as I keep the homes separate & straight, I could conceivably allow them both (Database Control and Grid Control Agent) to run AND be used at the same time - even when using secured grid control (https), correct? Just have the separate homes for separate agents and use separate ports for the different consoles?
Of course I might still run into an issue with this, ass I am also in the process of securing Grid Control... The current Database Console used by the app users to monitor is NOT an https url...
The real reason for this is because some app users are used to using the EM Database Control for application monitoring. I would like to not take that away from them while I am in the process of setting up all of the users, roles, alerts, groups, etc. on Grid Control.

Help!: Control reference seamingly "lost" in run-time execution mode

Hi!
The Facts:
LabView 6.1 PC under NT.
I've been using "Vi loader" technique since a few month s to distribute a LabView application on severals PCs without having to re-compile it each time. My application uses more than 500 VIs so I can't build it directly. The directories/Vis of the application are simply copied on the target PC and run through the Vi loader technique instead of using the development environnement.
The problem:
Since the last release of the my application, differences between the application running in development mode or run-time mode have appeared:
One VI reading a .ini file does not act the same way if runned in the developpment environnment or
runned in the run-time environnment. This VI uses control-references from its front-panel and passes them to sub vis. In run-time execution those references seems to be perverted: the sub-vis get them but can't access their properties like Label Name, Values,...
All works perfectly fine if the VI is runned in the environnment developpment.
Moreover the same sub-vis called with other control references in other VIs work fine.
Question:
Has anyone seen any behavioral difference between run-time execution and development environnement execution?
Are there any differences in the linkage process between those 2 execution ways?
Is there any labview Feature that would automaticaly "de-allocate" references at run time and would do so "too early"?
Is there any know problem with poly-morphique VIS in run-time execution mode.
That's all, any idea, lead, wellcome!

Hi Andrew!
I've allready had a look at the "Problem with VI Loader technique". It only deals with top vis not working (ie broken) when called from loader in Run-Time mode because of ill declared vi.lib path.
It's "unfortunately" not my problem: My VI is not broken, it's kind'a working, but not as it does in development environment execution mode.
If NI people are reading this, I would like to send them the VI and it sub-VIs to understand if something has been perverted .
The problem is seen on all three target PCs.
Moreover, a new one has appeared: in run-time mode, the standard "file dialog" vi called to prompt the user for a file with a given extension pattern sends back the file name with the extension "double dotted" (exemple: anything..data
instead of anything.data).
About the first problem, does any know why a Ctrl Refnum would loose its parent information (name, value...) in run-time execution mode?
Bye!

Configuring EM Database Control when database is running on different IP

OS Solaris
DB Oracle 10.2.0.2
The have the following situation:
We have a veritas active/passive cluster. This is not RAC. Server name is abc. But the database is running on VIP xyz. How do I configure database control to run on vip xyz. whenever I run emca -config dbconsole db, it always sees the server name as abc.
I also tried emca -config dbconsole db -HOST xyz but finally it always shows the hostname as abc.
I was able to get EM to see the targets (database, listener) properly on the vip xyz by manually editing the targets.xml file. So now the situation is, on the home page it shows that the datbaase is up and the listener is up, but it complains that it cannot connect to the database.
I really appreciate any help in this.
-Nags

DBConsole installs requiring different hostnames (virtual) than the physical hostname, simply set ORACLE_HOSTNAME variable to the new virtual hostname and run emca.
in detail please read this note , it might help you
Configure DB Control 10.2 for use in Active/Passive High Availability Environments
Overview and Requirements:
In order for the DB Control to service a database instance after failing over to a different host in the cluster, the following conditions must be met:
1. Install on a shared disk/volume which holds the binaries, the configuration and the runtime data (including the database). Installations on non-shared devices are not supported.
2. Configuration data and metadata must also failover to the surviving node
3. Inventory location must failover to the surviving node
4. Software owner and timezone parameters must be the same on all cluster member nodes that will host this database
Installation and Configuration:
• In order to override the physical hostname of the cluster member with a virtual hostname, you must use the parameter ORACLE_HOSTNAME to configure DBConsole
• For inventory pointer, software must be installed using the commandline parameter ‘-invPtrLoc’ to point to the shared inventory location file, which includes the path to the shared inventory location.
• The database software, the configuration of the database and DB Control is done on a shared volume.
Note: The use of OCFS V1 to install shared Oracle binaries is currently not supported.
If you are using an NFS mounted volume for the installation, please ensure that you specify rsize and wsize in your mount command to prevent running into I/O issues.
See Metalink Note <279393.1>
Example:
lxdb.acme.com:/u01/app/share1 /u01/app/share1 nfs rw,bg,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,nointr,tcp,noac,vers=3,timeo=600 0 0
A. Setup the alias for the virtual hostname/virtual IP address
You can do this by either allowing the clusterware to set it up, or manually before installation and startup of Oracle services. This virtual hostname must be static and resolveable consistently on the network: All nodes participating in the setup must resolve the virtual IP address to the same hostname. Standard TCP tools like nslookup and traceroute can be used to verify.
B. Setup shared storage
This can be storage managed by the clusterware that is in use or, you can use any shared file system (FS) volume as long as it is not an unsupported type, such as OCFS V1. The most common shared FS is NFS.
C. Setup the environment:
Some OS versions require specific OS patches to be applied prior to installing 10gR2. The user installing and using the 10gR2 software must also have sufficient kernel resources available. Refer to the installation guide for more details.
Before you launch the installer, certain environment variables need to be verified. Each of these variables must be set identical for the account installing the software on ALL machines participating in the cluster:
• OS variable TZ
Timezone setting. Recommended to unset this prior to the installation
• PERL variables
Variables like PERL5LIB should be unset to prevent the install (OUI) and DB Control to pick up the wrong set of PERL libraries
• Paths used for dynamic libraries
Based on the OS, the variables can be LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBPATH, SHLIB_PATH or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. These variables should ONLY point to directories, which will be visible and usable on each node of the cluster.
D. Ensure that oracle user name, ID and group name and ID are in sync on all cluster members
The user and group of the software owner should be defined identically on all nodes of the cluster. This can be verified using the ‘id’ command:
$ id -a
uid=1234(oracle) gid=5678(dba) groups=5678(dba)
E. Ensure that inventory files are on the shared storage
1. Create your new ORACLE_HOME directory.
2. Create the Oracle Inventory directory under the new oracle home
cd <shared oracle home>
mkdir oraInventory
3. Create the oraInst.loc file. This file contains the Inventory directory path information needed by the Universal Installer.
a. vi oraInst.loc
b. Enter the path information to the Oracle Inventory directory, and specify the group of the software owner as the dba user:
Example:
inventory_loc=/app/oracle/product/10.2/oraInventory
inst_group=dba
F. Start the installer:
You need to point to the inventory location file oraInst.loc (under the ORACLE_BASE in this case), as well as specifying the hostname of the virtual group. Debug parameter is optional.
runInstaller -invPtrLoc /app/oracle/share1/oraInst.loc ORACLE_HOSTNAME=lxdb.acme.com –debug
G. Update the SPFILE and tnsnames.ora file
Add an listener entry to the spfile file that points to an entry in the tnsnames file calling the virtual IP directly. As an example, set a tnsnames.ora entry that points to the virtual host name:
LISTENER_DBC =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = lxdb.acme.com)(PORT = 1521))
Then update the spfile parameter local_listener to point to the new tnsnames.ora entry:
SQL> alter system set local_listener='LISTENER_DBC';
SQL> show parameter local
NAME TYPE VALUE
local_listener string LISTENER_DBC
H. Startup of services:
Ensure that you start your services in the proper order:
- establish IP address on the active node
- start the TNS listener
- start the database
- start dbconsole
- test functionality
In case of failure…
- Establish IP on failover box
- start TNS listener lsnrctl start
- start the database dbstart
- start dbconsole emctl start dbconsole
- test functionality
If you want to manually stop or shutdown a service:
Stop the application
Stop DB Control emctl stop dbconsole
Stop TNS listener lsnrctl stop
Stop DB dbshut
Stop IP

Database control won't run in secure mode
