Database name is missing a component....

I'm doing a 3 server install on Windows 2000 Professional.
While installing the infrastructure, while it tries to create the database I get the warning "database name is missing a component". I'm never asked to enter a database name, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
The infrastructure hostname is "in", it's in workgroup "workgroup", and the fully qualified hostname is "in.sdia.com". It's IP address is 192.168.45.10. In the hosts file I added the following line after the default localhost entry:
192.168.45.10 in.sdia.com in
In the infrastructure install my instance name is "instance1".
I can finish the infrastructure install (and it reports it as successful), but I then get the same error doing the information store install, after which it fails on the database creation.
Any ideas?

How do you double quote the db name in a single box installation on Windows ? In a single box inst, you do not get the chance to specify the name that is causing the trouble, namely iasd.domainname.in.something. On windows, I tried manually running the same command that, according to logs, was failing, but could not get this to work. I tried all alternatives I could think of (-gdbname iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi / "iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi" / 'iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi' / ""iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi"" / '"iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi"' / "'iasdb.aaa.in.xxxx.fi'") but none of them works. Some quickly spit out an error about an error in the name, while some fail only later with ORA-02084. What should I do ?

Ora-02084 : database name is missing a component

hai all,
i am a newbee to oracle. i am struggling to create a database, any help would be highly appreciated. i have installed Oracle 9i on a RH8.0 system. but while creating database through DBCA, i am getting the error message, "ORA -02084:Oracle database name is missing a component". i ahve gone through the documentation and found that probelm is with ORACLE_SID. i have set all the environment variables(including ORACLE_SID, DB_NAME AND DB_DOMAIN) according to the documentaion and created swap files, temporary space etc.i have set all the environment variables in .bash_profile in ORACLE_HOME.
i have stopped DBCA and gone through the files. i could see that the database is actually created, with initXXX.ora.441414312 file. but once when i started the database with nomount and checked, i could find the control files missing.
thanks in advance,
ramesh.

Probably you are missing value for db_name (or missing parameter db_name) in parameter file.
Note you can still create db manualy (without DBCA).

ORA-02084: datbase name is missing a component

Hello,
I am attemtping to configure OMS using EMCA on Windows XP. I get the following errors:
ORA-02084: datbase name is missing a component
Creating local database with SID "OEMREP"...

Question is what component is the database missing and how do I resolve it?
Thanks.

Try this one:
CREATE DATABASE LINK "SYNO.DELTEMIPPM.HUTCH.IN" connect to
STRMADMIN identified by STRMADMIN using 'SYNO.DELTEMIPPM.HUTCH.IN';
and then check whether the delink is working by the below mentioned command:
select * from tab@"SYNO.DELTEMIPPM.HUTCH.IN";

ALERT: DATABASE NAME :EXTFILE: Missing or unreadable external file: DATAPU

Hi,
We are getting alerts
ALERT:<DATABASE NAME>:EXTFILE: Missing or unreadable external file: <DATAPUMP DIRECTORY>bogus.dat
and this file also does not exists in data pump directory.
Pls sugggest any solution to this.
Thanks,
Taruna

'bogus.dat' is internally used by datapump, so see the message as an internal error, which should be reported to Oracle support.

Hi gurues, I'm facing this issue with an IDES on MaxDB with Windows.
System was up and running until someone tries to make an upgrade of the kernel. Since then we can not start our system. we tried to rollback kernel release to the previous one but it didn't work.
When we start our system from MMC console we can see all process in green but work processes are in RUN state and after a few minutes they goes down with the following error
trc file: "dev_w0", trc level: 1, release: "701"

Hi Gurus/Experts,
I am implementing dataguard for digaster consideration for my primary database mydb. I have changed some initilization parameter for this implementation and while doing this when I changed a paraneter like below:

System altered.
Because this parameter is static so I have restart my database with startup force option. But I am getting belwo error.:

Hi Mseberg,
As of now I do not have standby INIT file and one which INIT file which I am showing here that's for my primary database i.e mydb. I would like to let you know I am planning to implement dataguard where mydb would be my primary database ad orcl would be my stabd by database. Before creating standby database I am preparing all initilization parameter in my primary database.
I have started my database with SYSDBA but still getting the same error. Please check below:

Entry for host name is missing or empty (Secure Store key: admin/host/).

Hi All,
I am in the process of installing EP7 on SLES9 and MaxDB 7.6 on a clustered HA environment where the SCS, DB and JC components are installed under and referenced by their virtual hostname (eg. sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME <virt name>).
The SCS instance is installed, the Database Instance is installed and I'm currently in the process of Installing the JC and Deploying the EP packages.
During the installation, SDM is put into standalone mode and sapinst tries to deploy the package EPBC06_0.SCA where it fails and the sdm_server.err shows :
"com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.TargetEngineConfigurationException: Cannot retrieve Engine logon data from Secure Store: Entry for host name is missing or empty (Secure Store key: admin/host/). at com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.InQMyTargetSystemConfigurator.getLoginDataFromSecStoreInQMyTargetSystemConfigurator.java:286) at com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.InQMyTargetSystemConfigurator.getEngineLoginDataInQMyTargetSystemConfigurator.java:197) at com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.EngineStateServiceImpl.determineCurrentEngineStateEngineStateServiceImpl.java:53) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.states.State.determineJ2EEEngineState(State.java:97) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.states.StateBeforeFirstDeployment.getJ2EEEngineStateChangeDescriptionStateBeforeFirstDeployment.java:75) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.proc.deployment.mapper.StateMapper.map(StateMapper.java:56) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.proc.deployment.mapper.FlowMapper.map(FlowMapper.java:28) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.session.AppViewUpdater.updateAppView(AppViewUpdater.java:22) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.session.AppViewUpdater.sessionStateChanged(AppViewUpdater.java:18) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.impl.SessionStateObserversImpl.notifySessionStateChangedSessionStateObserversImpl.java:46) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.states.InstContext.processEventServerSide(InstContext.java:85) at com.sap.sdm.app.proc.deployment.states.InstContext.processEvent(InstContext.java:59) at com.sap.sdm.app.view.controllers.DeployEventProcessor.processEvent(DeployEventProcessor.java:11) at com.sap.sdm.client_server.deployserver.DeployCmdProcessor.processEvent(DeployCmdProcessor.java:264) at com.sap.sdm.client_server.deployserver.DeployCmdProcessor.process(DeployCmdProcessor.java:108) at com.sap.sdm.gui.server.GuiAdminRoleCmdProcessor.processGuiAdminRoleCmdProcessor.java:72) at com.sap.sdm.is.cs.session.server.SessionCmdProcessor.process(SessionCmdProcessor.java:67) at com.sap.sdm.is.cs.cmd.server.CmdServer.execCommandCmdServer.java:76) at com.sap.sdm.client_server.launch.ServerLauncher$ConnectionHandlerImpl.handle(ServerLauncher.java:286) at com.sap.sdm.is.cs.ncserver.NetCommServer.serveNetCommServer.java:43) at com.sap.sdm.is.cs.ncwrapper.impl.ServiceWrapper.serveServiceWrapper.java:39) at com.sap.bc.cts.tp.net.Worker.run(Worker.java:50) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:816)"
The same problem occurs if I try to deploy this package or any other package using SDM in standalone or integrated mode.
configtool -> Secure Store -> admin/host/<SID> is the virtual hostname of the JC instance.
I've tried the following to no avail:
- Changed configtool -> Secure Store -> admin/host/<SID> to be the physical hostname of the box.
- Changed configtool -> Server -> Dispatcher -> Service -> P4 -> bindhost (from 0.0.0.0 to JC virt IP).
- Changed the <Host> entry in sdmrepository.sdc from <phys hostname> to <jc virt hostname>.
The SAPLOCALHOST, SAPGLOBALHOST all seem to be set correctly in the SAP profiles.
Has anyone had this issue? If so, what do I need to check/change? Any ideas?
Notice the message does not reference the <SID> in "admin/host", could this be related to the issue? If so, what can cause this?
TIA
Anthony

Hi All,
Just an update, I was able to get around my problems by patching the 2004s media from sp6 to sp8, uninstalling my scs, and database and re-installing from the patched media.

Changing the Database Name

Hi Gurus
I am using oracle 10g on Windows platform. The issue is I need to change my database name. When i gone through the Oracle docs I found there is an utility called 'DBNEWID' . But not getting a clear cut idea. Since my DB is So critical anybody please tell me the exact steps to change the DB-Name.
Thanks & Cheers

Help for: ORA-01103: database name PRIMARY in control file is not STANDBY

Hello all, this will be my first post to the support forum. I'm an associate dba with just 6 months on the job, so if I've forgotten something or not given some infromation that is needed please let me know.
I've also combed the forums/internet, and some of the answers haven't helped. The Oracle Document ORA-1103 While Mounting the Database Using PFILE [ID 237073.1] says my init.ora file is corrupted, but creating a new init.ora file from the spfile does not help. Neither does just starting from the spfile. I have older copies of the init.ora file and the spfiles that the database was running on previously, so I believe they are good.
This standby NIRNASD1 has existed previously, I had to refresh the primary NIKNASD2, and then re-instantiate NIRNASD1 after the refresh is complete.
My env is set correctly, and my ORACLE_SID has been exported to NIRNASD1
NIKNASD2 = Primary Database
NIRNASD1 = Secondary/Standby Database
Goal: Creation of Logical Standby NIRNASD1 after creating Physical Standby from NIKNASD2
My database versions are 10.2.0.4.0, and the databases are on a Unix server. Both databases are located on separate servers.
Steps that I have taken:
I used RMAN to backup our primary database to the staging area:
$ rman target /
run {
backup database
format '/datatransa/dg_stage/%U'
include current controlfile for standby;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup archivelog all format '/datatransa/dg_stage/%U';
I used RMAN to Create Secondary Database utilizing RMAN DUPLICATE command.
RMAN> run {
2> allocate auxiliary channel auxdisk device type disk;
3> duplicate target database for standby NOFILENAMECHECK;
4> }
On Secondary database I started Managed Recovery mode
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
(I used pfile here, thinking that I needed to mount the database to the pfile so that the database would see the change in the dataguard parameters in the init.ora file, the change from logical to physical- I commeneted out the logical and uncommented the physical line)
# Dataguard Parameters
For logical standby, change db_name to name of standby database.
db_name=NIKNASD2 ### for physical, db_name is same as primary
#db_name=NIRNASD1 ### for logical, db_name is same as unique_name
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT PFILE = /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/initNIRNASD1.ora;
ORACLE instance started.

Redo Buffers 14692352 bytes
Database mounted.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect;
I then verified the Data Guard Configuration by using “alter system archive log current;” on the primary database and watching the sequence number change in the secondary database.
I made sure that:
•     The primary database was in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE MODE
•     Stopped managed recover on the standby database: alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
•     Built a logical standby data dictionary on the primary database
•     The db_name in init.ora was changed (this is in our document at my job)
•     I changed my database name (from physical to logical) in my init.ora pfile (reverse of what I did above)
# Dataguard Parameters
For logical standby, change db_name to name of standby database.
#db_name=NIKNASD2 ### for physical, db_name is same as primary
db_name=NIRNASD1 ### for logical, db_name is same as unique_name
I then went to shutdown my standby database and re-start it in a mount exclusive state, which is where I get the ORA-01103 Error (Again I used the pfile, thinking that I needed to tell the database it is now a logical standby):
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open

Redo Buffers 14692352 bytes
ORA-01103: database name 'NIKNASD2' in control file is not 'NIRNASD1'
From what I understand of the process, the name in the control file is correct, I want it to be NIRNASD1. But the database for some reason thinks it should be NIKNASD2. The following are the parts of my init.ora file that include the dataguard parameters:
# Database Identification

#db_name=NIRNASD1
#db_unique_name=NIRNASD1
# File Configuration
control_files=("/oradba2/oradata/NIRNASD1/control01.ctl", "/oradba3/oradata/NIRNASD1/control02.ctl", "/oradba4/oradata/NIRNASD1/control03.ctl")
# Instance Identification

# valid_for=(online_logfiles,primary_role)
# db_unique_name=NIKNASD2'
fal_server='NIKNASD2'
fal_client='NIRNASD1'
I would appreciate any help, or pointing me in the right direction. I'm just missing something. I am reviewing the documents for building a physical and logical standby from oracle. Just not sure where to go from here.
Thank you

First of all, thank you both for answering my post. I've pulled up Mr. Hesse's page and will make it a go-to staple.
We're in the process of upgrading our databases, but we have 130+ databases and only six Oracle dba's, and I'm one of them. It's a large corporation, and things move at a "slow and tested" pace.
The pfile parameters listed above are from my secondary/standby database. And I do want to create a logical standby.
I forgot to mention that we do use DataGuard Broker, but I did not think that would be the cause of why the database was starting up incorrectly, so I did not mention it. My apologies there.
As far as the db_name, here's my question on that. It's my understanding the the db_name should be the name of the primary database when you are working with a physical standby, but as soon as you convert it to logical, you should change the db_name to the secondary/standby database? Am I correct on that?
Leading from that, during the process of creating the physical standby and converting the physical standby to the logical standby, should I change the db_name in the secondary/standby database in the spfile and never use the pfile at all? For instance, when I create the physical standby I have to change the db_name in the standby to the PRIMARY database, so that makes me think I should change db_name in the spfile? (If you see above, I changed db_name in the pfile and did a startup pfile)
This morning I was able to reach out to a fellow DBA (they are were asleep when I posted this last night), and they tried a few things. We had a redirect in the standby directory /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/dbs folder that looked like this: spfileNIRNASD1.ora -> /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/spfileNIRNASD1.ora
She removed the redirect and the startup mount exclusive then worked without the error.
Thank you again for your help Mr.Quluzade and Mr. Hesse, I appreciate you all taking the time to teach someone new to the craft. I will definitely read up on the link that you sent me.

Listing logical database for a given application component

hi
which function module will return the logical database for a given application component from the SAP hierarchy.
Example:
Input- application component- LO
output- MSM, etc.,
Thank you.
your time and answers will be compensated with points.

Why dont you use two selects to get the required information#
TAble APADEVC
Here you will get the link from Application Component to Package
Application Class - Packet
Package - Devclass
Then if you go into Table TADIR
and give the following input
PGMID = R3TR
OBJECT = LDBA
DEVCLASS = package name
you will get all the Logical Databases for that Application Component.
Here obj_name will be the Name of the LDB's

Change database name - Crystal10 and Visual Studio 2005

Hi there,

I have about 150 crystal reports in my development environment. I need to move them into the testing environment. Every environment has its own database and every database is names '[client name]_[environment]' so I get things like client1_dev, client1_test, client1_prod, etc. The reports are very, very unhappy when moving from dev to test. I have googled this a fair bit and have attempted the stuff on:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/crystalwithaspdotnet.aspx
 
http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=5374
 

and a few others and have gotten no where. I spent a couple of days working on this and am now over budget and late. I need a fix and fast.


I have two ideas I have been working on and both have failed out right. 
Idea 1 - during run time: 
- loop through everything thing in sight and set the database information on it 
- that one looks like:

 Trace.Warn("connection attributes - QE_LogonProperties", "processing the 'QE_LogonProperties'. Is null [" + (null == dca).ToString() + "]" );

 else
 HttpContext.Current.Trace.Warn(string.Format("SubReport Parameter [{0}] {1}", i, reportDocument.ParameterFields.Name), GetParamValue(reportDocument.ParameterFields));
 HttpContext.Current.Trace.Write("--------------------------");
</pre>
 
- this one always errors out with a can't find database type connection and spits out the old database message. 
- as you can see there is a stack of tracing in there. all of the trace messages make it look like it is hitting the right database. I have no clue why this isn't working. 
 
Idea 2 - fix up reports before moving to the other environments: 
- I figured I would write a little app that would crawl through the directories of reports and fix them up 
- I read a few examples of this online and none of them seem to work with Crystal 10. They work with some of our legacy Crystal 8 reports (I have been testing this all over the place) but not with 10. 
- the last function is the interesting one. 
- that one looks like: 
<pre>

At this point I really don't care which one will work the best, I am just desperate for a working solution. Any help, any at all would be greatly appreciated.

This is a typical requirement of most application and is relatively trivial to implement. There are a lot of samples and documentation on our support site (links below). Also, search these forums for code snippets that will help you. BTW., do not use the craxDDrt.dll as you are not licensed to use it.

Create the spfile on ASM to I can restart my RAC, restart the database (still in single instance on 1 node) , I can see in the alert log its reading the newly created spfile, but I then get an error.

every days a school day. In this case Im in detention. Hours I spent at this and of course I get the answer 20 minutes after I post the question here.
the pfile in the default ORACLE_HOME\database has reference to my spfile
If I run a create spfile from pfile it uses the contents of that pfile, NOT the pfile I started the database with. To use that pfile I need to path the pfile I started it with

Hello,
All the former posts are right, alter database begin backup; doesn't exists in 9.2 althought
you already have in this release the alter database end backup;.
So as to put all the tablespaces in backup mode in one command I suggest you to create a
stored procedure as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE begin_backup IS
TYPE RefCurTyp IS REF CURSOR;
cv RefCurTyp;
sql_cv VARCHAR2(400);
tbs VARCHAR2(128);
sql_stmt VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
-- Mise en BEGIN BACKUP des TABLESPACES
sql_cv := 'SELECT distinct (A.name) FROM sys.v_$tablespace A, sys.v_$datafile B, sys.v_$backup C where A.TS# = B.TS# and B.FILE# = C.FILE# and C.STATUS = ''NOT ACTIVE''';
OPEN cv FOR sql_cv;
LOOP
FETCH cv INTO tbs;
EXIT WHEN cv%NOTFOUND;
sql_stmt := 'ALTER TABLESPACE '||tbs||' BEGIN BACKUP';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_stmt;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cv;
END;
Then, I just have to call the Procedure like that:
execute <schema>.begin_backup; and all the tablespaces are in backup mode.
This procedure must be created on a User/Schema with the following privileges:
alter tablespace
select on sys.v_$tablespace
select on sys.v_$datafile
select on sys.v_$backupHope it can help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

ORA-01161: database name

DB 10.2.0.4
AIX 5.2
I am trying to make clone.Even I made clone, the database was up but when I saw in the alert log file it was giving continue below error(1) and the size of alert log file was getting increase so I decided to restore missed file and I restored and trying to create control file but this time it is giving below second(2) error.
1:
ORA-00376: file 35 cannot be read at this time
ORA-01111: name for data file 35 is unknown - rename to correct file
ORA-01110: data file 35: '/vol01/oracle/product/10g/dbs/MISSING00035'
2:
SQL> @clone.ctl
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "dev" RESETLOGS
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01161: database name prod in file header does not match given name of dev
ORA-01110: data file 35: '/vol01/oracle/index08.dbf'
Suggest me.

You could have missed that datafile in create controlfile statement, thats the reason for file naming convention to MISSING
--okay but now what is the solution. That missing file does not physical exist at error location.

LSO_MSS Manage Participation Employee Name is missing

Helo All,
I am facing a strange problem in LSO.
When Manager access the Manage Participation iview, Under Direct Reportees, we could see Object Type as P, Position and Org Unit.
But Employee name is missing. Instead of Name dot(.) is displayed.
I checked his roles and authorisataions. everything looks ok for me, and i also checked with other managers login, all others are able to see name of the employee.
That will be great, if you can provide me your inputs.
Thanks
Gita
