Database is up and running but when I connect as oracle it's idle?

Hi experts,
I have a strange kind of problem. I installed Oracle10 on UNIX.
When I connect to the Database remotely I am on a perfect working database but when I am connected directly on the machine via Oracle user, and run SQLPLUS I am connected to an idle instance. Also I can not startup this instance because I of 'ORA-01102: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode'.
when I run SQLPLUS useing the '@' condition I am connected correctly.
I checked SID settings and so on but it looks fine. I also only have one instance installed (I hope!).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Flo

  • Up and running, but veeeerrry slooowwwly

    I've got an Xserve I set up recently. It's an Open Directory Replica and is bound to Active Directory (DNS is also hosted by Active Directory). It's running, it responds just fine to pings, the DNS responses for the IP and hostname are coming back fine.
    However, there are many things it has trouble with. For starters, if I try to connect to it with Workgroup Manager or Server Admin, it's extremely slow, even when run locally. It will also choke frequently, posting an error telling me to refresh the display.
    iChat server is up and running, but any client I try to connect to it -- iChat clients on MacBooks or Spark clients on PCs -- says the host can't be found. Meanwhile, the same settings work when connecting to an Xserve in another campus which is configured the same way. I'm also trying to get iCal server up and running, but it keeps saying a virtual host can't be found, and again, near as I can tell, the required services are set up the same way on our first server, the OD Master.
    I don't know if it's related, but logins for our MacBooks are also extremely slow, and we frequently get the login box shaking at us. (I've had a few teachers jump in their car and drive down the street out of network range so they can log on with their cached mobile credentials because it's faster and more reliable.) We don't seem to have the same problem at our high school campus, where the laptops are configured the same way. Clients are bound to the local Xserve and to Active Directory, and the OD server is before AD in the search order.
    The only difference in setup between this one and our last is an Apple software engineer set up our first one, so I'm worried I may have missed something. There is no firewall configured, and the changeip command indicates I'm not having any host/IP conflicts. I'm kind of an Apple rookie, so I'm kind of at a loss as to what to look for next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I feel like I'm getting closer. First, the connector on our cable didn't fit snugly. Tug it slightly and it lost contact. I put a new cable on the server and now it seems more robust. Server Admin opened faster, anyway.
    In the Console, I'm seeing some Kerberos errors:

    This server is bound to Active Directory (using Directory Utility -- don't know if I need to do it elsewhere?) and I'm not sure what was trying to authenticate at that time.
    My error messages for "server not found" have gone away for my iChat client, but now it just pops up the authentication window over and over when I try to log in. I'm wondering if there's something missing in the server binding?

  • Error when access EP - Dispatcher running but no server connected- details

    Hi every body:
    I have problem when I try to access SAP EP with URL: http://192.168.122.82:50000/irj/portal
    I tried to activate the debug remote, I access on configTool and on the section of process node I activate the options of debugabble, enable debugable , restricted load balancing.
    Then I apply the changes and restart the services and my SAP EP didn't run. I try to deploy my app on NWDS and the it can't connect with vm and check whether the SAP J2EE Engine is up and running.
    All the services are running.
    Then I try to revert the configuration of debug to try deactivate the options, apply and restart the services but my SAP EP get the error:
    SAP WebAS Engine is starting...
    If this state does not change within a few minutes,
    please contact your system administrator.
    Check the recommendations in SAP Notes: 943498, 764417
    Message: Dispatcher running but no server connected!
    Details: No details available
    All the services are running.
    I post this on the thread, where I post some details
    SAP EP Error: Dispatcher running but no server connected!
    But I find a detail on dev_serv0.log
    And I saw a difference on this attribute:
    On SAP EP DEV
    DLoadBalanceRestricted=yes
    Djstartup.debuggable=no
    And SAP EP QAS
    DLoadBalanceRestricted=no
    Djstartup.debuggable=no
    And I check the configuration on SAP EP DEV and the checks of debug and restricted load balance are inactive
    I think that this atribute no change, how can I change this attribute. ???

    Hi Jesus,
    Please check the service  in SAP MMC are running or not. if not running, then you need to check the log file to identify the root cuase of the issue. If it is running fine then update the host and ip address in the host file and acces the portal with fully qualified domain name (fqdn) like http://<host>:<port>/

    I downloaded an app on my PC, signed into my iTunes account, but when I connect my iPhone and click sync, it won't copy to my phone. How can I get this app to install on my phone?

    Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

  • I have iphoto previously installed. running  but when i have synced my iphone4 the iphoto app. cant be launched anymore. a black screen with the hourglass running till it quits automatically.  What should be the problem???o

    i have iphoto previously installed. running  but when i have synced my iphone4 the iphoto app. cant be launched anymore. a black screen with the hourglass running till it quits automatically.  What should be the problem???

    Try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home/() Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot.

  • Perl Script to Verify a Database is up and running

    Hi there,
    Can any one suggest a way how to verify if the database is up and running from unix using a perl script? If not ,ofcourse the script will fail. Getting the following error ..
    ERROR: ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination
    Any suggestions are most valuable to me.
    Thank you,
    Kiran

    Cant we test it with any user other than sysdba? Yes..
    $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:", 'some_user', 'password') or die "Connect E
    rror $DBI::errstr\n";
    can we add this in the existing perl scripts? yes you can but DBI and DBD::Oracle need to be added to perl
    How to execute this? Create a script with your perl code and make it executable e.g. chmod 700 myscript.pl
    How do we know we have DBI module is present to use it? Once you create a script and try to execute it you will get errors on your use DBI statement.
    DB server and unix should be on the same machine right? In this example yes... But you can connect to any db through sqlnet using the tnsnames or with DBI you can do dynamic connections as well. So it will completly bypass tnsnames.ora.
    I would strongly suggest looking at "programming the Perl DBI"

  • Acrobat XI installed and runs but cannot update or register?

    Acrobat XI installed and runs but cannot update or register? typical fixes don't work or apply. Seems to be a very peculiar situation. Any thoughts?

    Anubha,
    If I open acrobat 11.0 and click on Help before I open a file, there is no choice of Product Registration.
    If I open a file, and click on Help, there is a choice for Product Registration, but it is transparent and cannot be selected.
    If I close that file but keep Acrobat open, a large dialogue box will pop-up asking me to register, and when I proceed, and after about 2-3 minutes, I receive another pop-up saying to check my connection and retry. I can
       retry over and stay in this loop. But when I close the registration pop-up and go back to Acrobat, the Product Registration selection under Help is no longer transparent, and I can select it. But when I do the Registration dialogue box returns, and when I proceed, I get the same no connection-retry pop-up and the loop continues.
    In fact, I have done just now, what I describe in the sentence above, in the time between what I typed above and what I am typing now in my open browser window.
    If I click on Help and select Adobe Help, a new tab opens in my browser showing Acrobat's Help page, as it did, just before I typed this sentence.
    If I click on Help and select Online Support, and then select Knowledge Base, it takes me to a new tab in my browser which is the same web page as I get when I press F1.
    I have selected 'Repair Acrobat Installation' from the Help menu twice and gone through the process with no change in outcome.
    If I click on Help and select Check for Updates, it seems to be updating, then stops the process, and I get the Registration pop-up, and the same thing.
    This seems entirely bizarre.
    What do you think?

  • My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

    My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
    I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
    I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
    It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
    one more bug in a complicated system I guess

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.
