DATABASE SERVICE NAME

HOW TO GET DATABASE SERVICE NAME?
I NEED IT INORDER TO INSTALL COMPANION PRODUCTS?
ANY HELP
THANKS ANYWAY

This is what i recieve when i click on help regarding database service name?
"Database Service Name Specify the database service name for the database where you want to install the Oracle HTML DB database objects. The database service name is usually the same as the global database name for the database, for example, sales.us.oracle.com."
but I don't have domain name. I installed Oracle on a standalone machine for testing purposes.Do I need to be on a network using HTML DB??
MY DB NAME IS GPI, CONNECTION STRING IS
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=GPI)))
BUT IT IS NOT WORKING?
AND WHAT IS WINDOWS DATABASE SERVICE NAME?

Database Service Name or Global Database Name with Oracle 10G, when Oracle

I have an old installation of Oracle 9i (SID=ORCL) and now have installed Oracle 10G (SID=ORC2). I can get connection to Oracle 10G if i define it as an Oracle 8 compatible identification (ie I access to a SID, and donÂ´t provide a Service Name.
Now I want to install Oracle HTML DB, and succeeded to install the SQL-script that came with the download, but when I install Apache and HTML DB from the Oracle Companion CD I am asked to give the Database Service Name (in the Help it is explained as the Global Database Name).
When i give the Net Service Name I get error messages (incomprehensible).
When I look in Net Manager, the Net Service Name does not have a Service Name, but only points to a SID (ie ORC2).
Where can I find the Database Service Name (or Global Database Name), OR define it if it is not defined??
Thanks for your help,

create a net service for oracle10g and provide the name of this service during HTML DB installation it is required for installation.

Resolve database service name using in SQL

Hi all!
My question is:
Is it possible to resolve database service name (e.g. TNS) from SQL only (without logging into the server with oracle user and execute tnsping)?
I'll give you a bit background about my question:
In DataGuard, if you query v$archive_dest, you can see the SERVICE NAME of the standby database in the STANDBY records. I would like to know what is the real server name and database instance of the standby database.
I don't want to login to the primary server with oracle user (let's say that I can not - it's a program really, not me...).
Let's also say that the only user I have is a read-only user to the database (with grants to all tables and views, but cannot execute privileged DBMS sys packages).
Running "SQL> host tnsping NAME" doesn't do the job, since this is only for SQL plus.
Doe's anyone have any idea? maybe v$ view that contains the TNS resolution (tried to find, no success)? maybe a tnsping alike command/function?
Thanks a lot!

I'll explain the reason.
I'm working on an agentless product that connects to databases, storage and hosts, and models them into a small CMDB.
Since my product needs to model the "STANDBY" relationship between primary and standby DataGuard databases - I need to be able to resolve the value of the "DESTINATION" field from "V$ARCHIVE_DEST", where TARGET IN ('STANDBY','REMOTE').
I could login to the server and execute "tnsping DBNAME", but the problem is that when a server has more than one ORACLE_HOME (hence, more than one tnsname.ora file), I need to make sure that the user I'm using to login to the server has all environment variables conigured properly for each database installed on the server (BTW, the unix user is also a "naked" user with no privileges except the sudo's defined for it).
So I assume that the best way to be sure that the environment variables are correctly defined is when I login to the database.
This is the reason I need to resolve service names using SQL.
BTW, the database process somehow uses the Oracle Net Services to resolve the same value when it sends the redo log files to the standby server - and I'd like to resolve it the same way (or other, if not possible). If it uses the sys privileges, and it executes the package that lets you execute something on the server ("tnsping", in this case), and this is the only way it can be done - I need to start thinking on a different way to resolve the problem.What you are missing is that when "the database process somehow uses the Oracle Net Services to resolve the same value when it sends the redo . . ." is that Net services is NOT just resolving the name for the database. It is also handling the actual transport of the files. That name resolution is not passed back to the database.

How to use the default database service name on creating procedure for data

how to use the default database service name on creating procedure for datagaurd client failover ??? all oracle doc says create a new service as below and enable at DB startup. but our client is using/wanted database default service to connect from application on the datagaurd environment (rac to non rac setup).please help.
Db name is = prod.
exec DBMS_SERVICE.CREATE_SERVICE (service_name => 'prod',network_name =>'prod',failover_method => 'BASIC',failover_type => 'SELECT',failover_retries => 180,failover_delay => 1);
says already the service available.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER manage_dgservice after startup on database DECLARE role
VARCHAR(30);BEGIN SELECT DATABASE_ROLE INTO role FROM V$DATABASE;
IF role = 'NO' THEN DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('prod');
END IF;
END;
says trigger created, but during a swithover still the service is listeneing on listener.
tns entry.
prod =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(LOAD_BALANCE = YES)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prod1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = prod2)(PORT = 1521)) ---> primary db entry
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = proddr)(PORT = 1521)) --> DR DB entry
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = prod)
thanks in advance.

Hello;
So in the example below replace "ernie" with the alias you want the client to use.
I can show you how I do it :
First an entry need to be added to the client tnsnames.ora that uses a SERVICE_NAME instead of a SID.
ernie =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
       (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Primary.host)(PORT = 1521))
       (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Standby.host)(PORT = 1521))
       (CONNECT_DATA =
       (SERVICE_NAME = ernie)
)Next the service 'ernie' needs to be created manually on the primary database.
BEGIN
   DBMS_SERVICE.CREATE_SERVICE('ernie','ernie');
END;
/After creating the service needs to be manually started.
BEGIN
   DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('ernie');
END;
/Several of the default parameters can now be set for 'ernie'.
BEGIN
   DBMS_SERVICE.MODIFY_SERVICE
   ('ernie',
   FAILOVER_METHOD => 'BASIC',
   FAILOVER_TYPE => 'SELECT',
   FAILOVER_RETRIES => 200,
   FAILOVER_DELAY => 1);
END;
/Finally a database STARTUP trigger should be created to ensures that this service is only offered if the database is primary.
CREATE TRIGGER CHECK_ERNIE_START AFTER STARTUP ON DATABASE
DECLARE
V_ROLE VARCHAR(30);
BEGIN
SELECT DATABASE_ROLE INTO V_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE;
IF V_ROLE = 'PRIMARY' THEN
DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('ernie');
ELSE
DBMS_SERVICE.STOP_SERVICE('ernie');
END IF;
END;
/lsnrctl status - should show the new service.
When I do this the Database will still register with the listener. I don't give that to the clients. That one will still be available but nobody knows about it. Meanwhile "ernie" moves with the database role.
So in my example the default just hangs out in the background.
Best Regards

How to add a new database service name to 9iDS

Hello,
I installed 9iDS and 9iDB on my laptop which worked fine for few months. I had trouble with 9iDB I/O system so I reinstalled 9iDB with a new SID name. I updated 9iDS by replacing old SID name with new SID name in tnsnames.ora file but it did not work.
Please someone suggest where should I update in 9iDS to access my newly installed database service with new SID so that forms appication builder can connect properly.
Currently it is saying :
ORA-12514: tns listener could not resolve service name given in connect descriptor.
Thanks,
[email protected]

Shyam,
could it be that you are still starting the old database tnslistener. Please make sure that you start the listener for your new Db instance.

Standby database service name

hi,
i made a physical standby database architecture with one db as a production db on PC1 and on the other site i created a physical standby db on PC2 ,,
now i did a SWITCHOVER and after that the db on PC1 become physical standby and db on PC2 has become primary db,,,,
my application running before SWITCHOVER was using a service name that connect it to PC1,,now that application is not running giving me error that initialization or shutdown in progress,,,
what shud i do now?? will i need to change the service name of my application on each client,,,other option is to use an ORACLE NAMES SERVER,,but if i wanna wont use both of the ways then what can i do??
Regards

This is recommended in metalink notes.
As you say, oracle names as one option. You just go and change the ipaddress/hostname,whatever you use in the tnsnames.
Your end-users are still trying to access the old primary, which is secondary now. And this db is in mount stage, that is the reason they are getting this kind of error.
If you have very less users and can be reachable to change the tnsnames then its okay.

Database service name changed after streams configuration

Hi All,
I test setting streams replication in my database 10g from a stand-alone database to a RAC database.
Replication worked fine but i sow strange thing, my service names in the target database (RAC environment) has changed like the following output:
SQL> sho parameter service
NAME TYPE VALUE
service_names string SYS$STRMADMIN.STREAMS_QUEUE.AB
DATAWH
So the value of my service names has changed, i don't know why. I tried to remove streams configuration and restart the database but it's not changed and it cause connexion problem from client.
Does anybody can help me to solve this problem, why it's changing and how to take it back to the old service names.
Thanks for your help

Listener Show database Service Name In Wrong LSITENER Service

dear Gurus,
I need your help to understand this Listener stuff.
Resume :
Server : Linux RH5
Oracle : 10G2
In this server I've 2 database Instances lets say DMWEB adn CFMP
Because several times we need to restart the Listener for CFMP i've choose to have separate Listener for each Database.
So, i've created 2 Listener :
LISTENER_CFMP =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =

(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SDU = 32767)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2)
(SID_NAME = DMWEB)
When I get the Status for each listener I get :

My Question
Why the Services belonging to DMWEB database are registred on Listener CFMP????
This Services are in LISTENER_CFMP when they should be in LISTENER_DMWEB right?
Service "DMWEB_SITE2" has 1 instance(s).

What have I done wrong in listener configuration ???
Thxs if you can help
Rgds
Carlos

Why the Services belonging to DMWEB database are registred on Listener CFMP????Because Oracle is listening by default on port 1521 (and it is your CFMP listener) and the LOCAL_LISTENER parameter of the database DMWEB has been left empty ?
That said, I'm not sure to understand why you need a listener for each db.

How to connect the database (JDBC) using service name rather than SID

How should we make the connection to the database using service name. Initially, we are using the SID to make the database connection, with following setting in the data-source.xml in OC4J using ABCDB as the SID.
<data-sources>
     <data-source
          class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
          name="jdbc/ABCDB"
          location="jdbc/ABCDB"
          pooled-location="jdbc/OracleDSPooled"
          xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleDSXA"
          connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
          username="ABC"
          password="ABC"
          url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@191.1.4.126:1521:ABCDB"
     />
</data-sources>
It work, but now we need to make the connection using this service name ABCSERVICE, but it doesn't work in the OC4J (JDBC). May I know how should we handle this connection?
Thanks and Regards,
Pang

Finally, I got the solution to make the database connection using service name, with putting the tnsname setting in URL portion.
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description=(address=(host=191.1.4.126)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(SERVICE_NAME = ABCSERVICE)))"
And now, it is working fine.

Database Adapter Service Name

Hi,
I am working on updating an existing flow to include a Database Adapter service. This flow previously had a service called DB_CONSTANTES, but this removed from the flow some time ago. (If i search the flow project files, I still see references to it, but not within the .bpel file).
I would like to create a service with the same name. In JDEV I do not see any references to DB_CONSTANTES, but when I attempt to create the service I am told that a service of that name already exists. I am pointed to myflow/bpel/DB_CONSTANTES.wsdl
Is it safe/correct to delete this wsdl file and then just proceed with the service creation again. I realise I could just create a new service name, but I would like to be consistent in naming the service.
Many Thanks - Anit

It is safe to delete wsdl. I suppose as the wsdl already exists it is giving the error while you try to create the service with the similar name. On safe side, you can take a backup of the process and do the changes.

Get port number,host name,service name from database

Is there any way to know the host name,port number, sid and the service name of a particular instance from the database.

> Is there any way to know the host name,port number, sid and the service name
of a particular instance from the database.
Why?
The host name in the HOST_NAME column of V$INSTANCE for example, may not be the hostname/IP address that the local Listener listens for connections on. Or the Listener can listen on that host name/IP and several other local IP addresses.
The port number used for listening for connections by clients, are determined by the Listener's configuration.
Thus if you can explain the requirement for this info, maybe the forum can provide better and more specific answers.

How to bypass net service name when logining database

When I login to database using SqlPlus with dba unix account,I go the following error message.
command>sqlplus username/passwd
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
It is Ok for the following command.
command>sqlplus username/passwd@service-name
But If I login with "oracle"(a unix account),
command>sqlplus username/passwd
it is OK too.
The primary group of "dba unix account" and "oracle" is same.
How can I login database
bypass net service name??
Thanks!!

Let's assume your service name was "orcl.oracle.com" and now is "orcl", you can do (as sysdba) :
SQL> alter system set service_names='orcl, orcl.oracle.com'; -- (or just orcl.oracle.com)
If you use initSID.ora to start the DB, then you have to change it there, and bounce the DB.

Service name and database name are different.

Hi,
I had created a database with name PROD, latter i changed DB name to PRODT as per management request.
But i notice the following things.

2. From sql prompt DB_NAME is PRODT.
3. In Listener service name is showing PRODT and instance name is PROD.
can any one please explain me, why oracle is behaving like this.
Our all the applications are working fine with out any issues till now.

But i notice the following things.
1. At OS level ORACLE_SID variable is still PROD.(.bash_profile too have this entries)ORACLE_SID is the instance name. Changing DB name does not change the instance name. You can manually change it by creating a new PFILE/SPFILE and Password file for the new instance.
2. From sql prompt DB_NAME is PRODT.Yes, as you have changed the DB name from PROD to PRODT.
3. In Listener service name is showing PRODT and instance name is PROD.Database name is PRODT and the instance associated with it is PROD. There can be multiple instances for a single database.

I have searched through the forum threads but haven't found any similar problem. The solutions that fixed other peoples problem don't seem to be applicable to mine.
I have created a user 'antagning' and some tables and also some PL/SQL procedures that compile fine. When I request
http://localhost:7777/pls/projekt/firsttest
(firsttest is the procedure. doesn't take any params)
I get the famous
Database Log In Failed
TNS could not resolve service name
Verify that the TNS name in the connectstring
entry of the DAD for this URL is valid.
This is my DAD file:
<location /pls/projekt>
SetHandler pls_handler
PlsqlDatabaseUsername antagning
PlsqlDatabasePassword antagning
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString ORCL
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
PlsqlErrorStyle DebugStyle
</location>
and my tnsnames.ora looks like: (there is only one on the machine so there is no conflicting setups I think)
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =
localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
finally, this is my sqlnet.ora:
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: c:\oracle10g\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
# This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers choose to
# install "Software Only", this file wont exist and without the native
# authentication, they will not be able to connect to the database on NT.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
I haven't set any default domain because the database runs on my local computer and not on a microsoft server in a domain. Is that correctly concluded?
I get an OK message when I ping my TNS with "tnsping orcl" (Maybe that information is not relevant in the context)
My webserver is started and is running fine (I think). If I request:
http://localhost:7777/pls/projekt (without any procedure name)
I get the message that no procedure is specified to run so I get some sort of answer from the webserver, so far so right.
When I log in using sqlplus with my own created user account I have to leave the database field empty or the login will fail. If I specify the field with the string orcl
the login will fail. Does that imply that something is not quite right? Maybe that hasn't got anything to do with the failure message.

Has anyone resolved the problems with using TNSFormat?
As is, I want to move to a shared server setup and to do that I want to use TNSFormat and point to a tns entry which is setup for IPC+Shared connection.
But the Oracle Home that has the Oracle HTTP Server (from the companion CD) does not have SQL*net installed and does not seem to understand TNS.
I have TNS_ADMIN setup, I have ORACLE_HOME_LISTENER poiting to the DB Home.
for the OHS home, using "sqlplus login/pw@ipcshared" works, but "tnsping ipcshared" does not, since tnsping does not exist in the OHS home.
I cannot install SQL*Net from the CD1, since it requires a dedicated/new home and does not want to install in the OHS Home.
The only format that works in a dedicated OHS Home setup is ServiceNameFormat.
Any help or input would be very helpful.
Regards
ps. This is a redhat linux setup.
