Database patched 10.2.0.3-10.2.0.4 Error on Grid Control :Failed to connect

HI my patch was laready on 10.2.0.4 and just upgraded by databse from 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4
though database and listener and agent are up and running at the OS
but on Grid Control I'm getting the error under
'Agent'
Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available.
Any Idea guys
Thanks
Gagan

I would check whether Oracle was still available. With the current state of Oracle software you never know.
If Oracle was available I would try to use sqlplus to connect to the database using the dbsnmp account.
If that works, it is SR time.
As you don't specify any O/S information, it is difficult to tell you more, especially as some releases of Oracle on some processors are flaky, and Oracle can not always reproduce the problems in house.

Allow grid control agent to connect to a database as sys with no listener

Hi
I have a database which I would like to monitor using the 10g grid control agent.
the agent and DB are on a Unix Box
The database has a listener, but because it is part of a contingency system we keep the listener shut down
my question is:
Is it possible to configure the agent to connect to a Database (as sysdba) without the listener for that database running?
Regards
Graham

No its is not possible if listener is not running

Physical database creation using Grid Control fail

I have tried several times to create a physical standby using Grid Control. Everytime, the job failed at the step "DBClone -> Destination Preparation". The log file indicated the following error message:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized.
When I check the spfile, I find that an extra word "PuTTY" was inserted into the spfile as shown in the following spfile, therefore, the instance cannot be started. In addition, everytime when issuing the command "cat spfilermslag.ora", the word "PuTTY" will automatically appear in the command line after the "cat spfilermslag.ora" command.
$ cat spfilermslag.ora

You might just have to do it the old fashioned way. At least it will be a good learning experience.

Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

Hello -
This is the error in grid alert:
Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach).
But the test of connection string in database configure screen is successful. tnsping works too.
Grid version: 11.2.0.1.0, no patches.
Target database version: 10.2.0.2
Connect string: (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = s08) (PORT = 1528))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = S08) (GLOBAL_NAME = S08.WORLD)))
Any ideas?

OK.. Are you testing the connectivity from "Preferred Credentials " setting page?
Try to configure target from
Targets-->databases--> then select your database and click on "configure" button.
Enter all the details and press "Test Connection" button once it shows that connection is successful go to next page and finally save the setting.
Let me know how it goes....

Oracle 11g Grid Control failure at database credentials

Hi ,
I have the environment like Windows 2008 64bit machine. I have installed oracle database in one machine and in second machine , installed weblogic server then trying to install Grid control but
I'm facing the issue when i give the database credentials , its throwing message like check that listener is up and running or not.
I have checked everything is working.
Error is : There was a problem connecting to the database on the host and port specified. Check to make sure the host is up or that the database listener is running on that host
i have verified in the forums . but nothing worked for me. Could any one please help me out

If you have not tested a sqlplus connection to the database as user sys from the host where you want to install Grid Control, then try it.
Ex:
sqlplus sys/<PASSWORD>@"(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<HOSTNAME>)(PORT=<PORT#>)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=<SID>)))" as sysdba
where:
<PASSWORD>: the password of user sys as entered in the UI
<HOSTNAME>: the host name as entered in the UI
<PORT#>: the port number as entered in the UI
<SID>: the SID as entered in the UI

Oracle Grid Control 10.2.0.3 can´t configure databases

I installed the Grid Agent (10.2.0.5) in host1 for monitoring the database (10.2.0.5) inside him. I did the same in host2, that has Agent (11.1.0.1) and Database (11.2.0.2). Both Agents are pointing to the same Grid Control Management Server.
Grid control has a separated server with Grid Control OMS and Agent installed (10.2.0.3).
This host1 was added to the grid control target hosts, and the database too. The secure option is disabled.
First Problem: metrics collection error in Grid Control for database target.
My Solution: Deconfigured the Oracle DBControl in host1 and host2 (it was configured with a local repository) dropping the repository, and I used | emca -config agent | to create a link to the agent in local machine.
New state: Now the OEM show the targets apparently been monitored. When a target fall down the OEM send allerts normally.
Second Problem: When I click in a host, database, listener, or any of the targets, intending the log in the instance it take about 5 minutes and returns: "No Response from Application Web Server There was no response from the application web server for the page you requested. Please notify the site's webmaster and try your request again later. "
My solution: I didn´t find one. HELP!
For coincidence, all databases actually monitored (8) are 10.2.0.4 or down. All of these can be managed by click in target names by OEM. Could it be the version of the new databases?

Hello.
We already have Grid Control 10.2.0.4 and just installed AD4J 10.2.0.4. This version of AD4J is not integrated with Grid Control, and can be setup on any server by unzipping the downloaded file (no installer). I did find the installation/configuration documentation lacking, but worked through it with a little help from Oracle Support.
The AD4J console has the look and feel of Grid Control, but is totally separate app with its own Apache server, etc.

Failed to connect to database

Several days ago, I created a workbook with 5 worksheets in Discoverer Plus 9.02 against a 10g database. Everything worked fine until today when I tried to re-saved the workbook into the database. I saw the error message that said "Failed to connect to database". When I hit the OK button in the error message dialog box, my sessions were terminated. Again, the error happened whenever I tried to re-save the workbook into the DB. I didn't see such error before.

Hi Andy,
We are having a similar issue. We recently upgraded from 4.1.48 to 10.1.2.48.18. We are using Plus/Viewer. Imported workbook has several worksheets. Query runs but then receive an error stating 'Contact with the server has been lost...' I set the row retrievel to 20 rows but still get this error message.
Have you found a resolution to this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.

10.1.2.0.2 OID not listening after database patch 10.0.5

Hi
I've installed database patch 10.0.5 to an Oracle Infrastructure 10.1.2.0.2. The software and scripts installed with no problems. I started the OID server using:
opmnctl start process-type=OID
Which always worked before and it returns with no errors. But OID is not listening on port 389. dcmctl start will throw an error trying to connect to OID.
Any ideas?

The readme for the patch has very detailed instructions !
OID needs to be up as you say plus the other components. But there is a good prereq checker before you run it.
If worried do a backup of $OH , the inventory and the IASDB then give it a try, if it fails just restore.

Why don't you (or your system administrator) simply do,what the message recommands?
The root user should execute '/usr/sbin/slibclean' You cannot remove the message itself. Run 'slibclean' and answer 'Y'. Unfortunately on the AIX platform it interrupts a silent installation.

Oracle Database patching

Hi plz help me.
i want to learn oracle database patching from the people like u but before that i tried much hard to find the documentation of patching at oracle documentation center. now after searching it lot i m tired so plz can any one tell me the exact documentation by which i can learn patching for applications. plz help me.

The patch(set) documentation is included in the patch zip file. The best way to learn about patching database should be to build a test db, then try to patch/upgrade it.

plz correct me if i am wrong?and give me complete details about them.All patches are applied on binaries i.e. ORACLE_HOME and some patches also have some scripts to be run to update data dictionaries.
For interim patch explanation please refer to MOS :

Also i want to know,is there any database patch for ORA-1555 error?ORA-155 occurs due to undo tablespace.
