Password and host string

Hi,
Im trying to get the Oracle 8i for 2000 to run correctly. I did a download. Problem is getting pass the password screen. The host string is giving me trouble. What should go there? Any place where the password and host string info are stored for later retrieval?
thanks,
Cindy

If you installed the default database then you should type in system as the user and manager for the password and ORCL as the host string (these are the defaults).
The hoststring names (database aliases) would be in the tnsnames.ora file uder your Oracle_Home/network/admin directory
If you login as system or a user that has DBA privileges, you can change passwords as you see fit
syntax:
alter user identified by somepassword;

Problem with external domain name and hosting

Hi I have my own domain name and hosting plan I want to use. However, I have trouble pointing my site from BC to my server.
I found the following information but in my case "create A-Records" is not available on the "Site Domains". Please advise.
Thanks.

Point externally hosted domains to your Business Catalyst site
If you have chosen to use external DNS service for your domain name, create A-Records for both the www and non-www versions of your domain name. Then, point them to your site, which resides on one of the following IP addresses:

Hi
Can you please confirm that there is no “Create A records” option under “More Actions” ?

Domain name and hosting provider

Can anyone recommend a good domain name and hosting provider (preferably based in Australia if possible) that I can use to set up my customers' websites? I'm with Domain Central and ready to hang myself. I've been with them for 3 years and decided to stay because it was just too hard to leave, but if I could find something better I'd be out of there. The interface is the most confusing, erronious, complex, slow, antiquated and difficult piece of software I've ever known and the help documentation in way relates to what is actually there.
I have a reseller account with them, which means I buy the domain name and hosting space at about half the price that it would normally be, make a small profit on it, and still pass on a good rate to my customers. Domain Central is cheap, but after this latest fiasco, I've wasted so much time on Help desk it's not worth it. I want a provider that has an easy to use, straightforward website, so I can sign up for some sort of reseller account, buy the domain name and hosting at a discounted rate, do the name servers and all that stuff myself and even set up email accounts without too much grief and suffering.
Any advice would be so appreciated. What do other web designers do? I've come to the point of having a hollow feeling of dread when I log in to Domain Central : (

I'd recommend heading over to www.webhostingtalk.com . You'll get a better and faster response. But you will need to be more specific for them with your needs. The registrar part is simple, but the hosting you should add in what type of plan you think you are looking for (reseller, VPS, dedicated), how much space/bandwidth you require, environment (Unix vs Windows), database/scripting information, etc., etc.

Driver name and connect String ??

hi guys..
i have developed some JDBC applications connecting to Oracle servers.
Now, i want to develop a JDBC application that connects to DB2 server;
how do i know the driver name and connect String im supposed to pass to
class.forName(driver_name);
and to
DriverManager.getConnection(connect_string);
i use db2java.zip that ships with DB2..
Appreaciating ur cooperation..

Look at your DB2 docs. You'll have to download their JDBC driver, of course.
You should know the drill - you've done this with Oracle. - MOD

Capturing Login /PW and Host String!

HI ALL!
I NEED UR HELP TO CODE HOW TO CAPTURE
LOGIN NAME/ PASSWORD AND HOST NAME IN FORMS.
I AM DEPLOYING THESE FORMS(V5.0) INTO INTRANET.
THANKS
VIJAY

If you need to capture them after the application has been initiated then :
DECLARE
u_name VARCHAR2(10);
pw VARCHAR2(15);
host_name VARCHAR2(15);
BEGIN
u_name := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME);
pw := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(PASSWORD);
host_name := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(OPERATING_SYSTEM);
END;
You can do this in the PRE-FORM or WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger. If you need to access those variables at some time in the application , then I suggest that you use global variables or create 3 items on the null canvas and assign these values to them.

Changing domain name and host name?????????//

Hai,
how to chane the domain name and hostname for LINUX ES 4.0 server.
is any impact On EBS 11.5.10.2 . if i change??

This is the command that I run at command prompt:
perl D:\oracle\VIS\db\tech_st\10.2.0\appsutil\bin\adgentns.pl appspass=secret \contextfile=conf_VIS.txt -removeserver
It returns:
'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Did you source the env file first?I apologize, what does this mean? I am running EBS12 on a WINXP environment, but this was the closest forum post I could find related to the topic.
From Article:
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:1947016216372695354::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,338003.1,1,1,0,helvetica
If you already changed the information of your existing AutoConfig Context file and
have not done the above step, then you can manually update the Net Services
Topology Model using the following syntax :
Locate the System Name :
The System name is the database name
Verify with sql query :
select DB_NAME from FND_DATABASES;I logged into the vision DB (VIS) as the system user id, via SQLPLUS, ran the query and it returned a table or view "FND_DATABASES" does not exists.
I changed the computer name, and changed the domain name (primary dns suffix).
I was successful using the Context Editor to edit both the DB and App context files, and ran AutoConfig for both the DB and Application (exists on the same machine).
I hope this provides more clarity....

Design a site, use my domain name, and host it via .mac

It sounds simple, and I thought a search through these forums would yield some easy answers, but no luck, so here goes:
I'm an advanced Photoshop and Final Cut Studio user, running an audio/video/image restoration and transfer business, but I'm a total beginner in the iWeb/.Mac area.
About three years ago, I decided it was time for a web site, so I went to a local company; they designed and still host my site, for which I pay them $30.00 per month; it's a simple site with no ecommerce, and six or seven pages. There is a contact form through which potential customers can email me.
I also have a domain name, for which I pay $15.00 per year to the same company.
My site is OK, but it's the same as it was three years ago; any small changes I have asked the company to make (mostly just text additions/changes) they have done at the rate of $75.00 per hour.
What I want to do is cancel my account with them, design a totally new site using iWeb, start a .mac account, and have the site hosted using my domain name, so that the average customer who sees my newspaper ad can navigate to my new site exactly as they can with the current one. (I only have one email account, through my ISP, which I don't want to change.)
I've got lots of questions, but mostly, what else do I have to do to make this switch besides cancelling my account with my current company? (After an overlap period, of course) What happens with my domain name--who will I pay to keep it? And finally, what simple things am I not thinking of?
Many thanks in advance to anyone with enough patience to read through this, and still find time to provide some assistance.

You can design your site in iWeb and upload it to either .Mac or a commercial server.
You would then provide the domain name registrar with your server ID number or, in the case of .Mac, your .Mac URL and instruct them to point your domain name in that direction.
.Mac is neither intended for, nor the best option, for a business site.
For example the company I host with - Host Excellence - allows you a free domain name registration and up to 6 sites with unlimited web mail and more server space than you are likely to need for about the cost of a .Mac account.
Commercial servers are a lot more reliable than .Mac, have wider bandwidth and usually have good tech support.
You only have to look at the number of problems in this forum concerning .Mac to see that tech support is not readily available from Apple.
I'm not putting down .Mac. I use it myself for various purposes and it is good for its intended use of one clicking publishing of personal websites.

Can't get a comparison between a folder name and a string to work

Dear community,
I have a really simple ExtendScript-example that I just can't get to work and I have no idea what could be wrong. I'm trying to write a script that goes through all the items in the project panel and stores references to all the folders which names are like "layer1", "layer2", and so on, in an array. This is the code that should alert 3 times in my case, but it doesn't alert once..
for (var i=1; i<=app.project.numItems; i++)
    if ((app.project.item(i) instanceof FolderItem) && (app.project.item(i).name == "layer"+i))
        alert("found folder = " + app.project.item(i).name);
Inside the project in the root-directory there are 2 comps and 3 folders named 'layer1', 'layer2' and 'layer3' - so I should see 3 alerts when executing the above script. For testing-purposes I changed the second part of the if-statement to a 'static' value like so:
.. && (app.project.item(i).name == "layer1")) --> then it works! But I need a dynamic solution..
Thanks very much for ANY help in advance!
Greetings,
Gilbert

I just tried the code and it only alerted once for me. The issue with your code is that it requires the "Layer" named folders to always be the first x items in the project file. So what is happening for you is that...
If any item appears before the first "Layer" folder then you are effectively comparing random names to each other that will never match.
ItemSomethingElse
RandomFolder                 == Layer1     (false)
Layer1                              == Layer2     (false)
Layer2                              == Layer3     (false)
Layer3                              == Layer4     (false)
Layer4                              == Layer5     (false)
ItemSomethingElse
What you need to do to keep it dynamic:
1) Gather instances of all the folders in your project into an array.
2) Loop through that array checking for indexOf "Layer".
3) If there is a match...
4) Compare that name in another loop. You'll have to determine the max number to loop through for your search, like 25 or 50 or something that won't loop forever.
5) If a Layer# match is found then run your alert.
ItemSomethingElse
RandomFolder                 indexOf("Layer")     (false, do not add)
Layer1                              indexOf("Layer")     (true, add instance to folderArray)
Layer2                              indexOf("Layer")     (true, add instance to folderArray)
Layer3                              indexOf("Layer")     (true, add instance to folderArray)
Layer4                              indexOf("Layer")     (true, add instance to folderArray)
ItemSomethingElse
So something like this should work:
var folderArray = new Array();
//Loop through project grabbing folders with layer in the name
for (var i=1; i<=app.project.numItems; i++){
     var curItem = app.project.item(i);
     if(curItem instanceof FolderItem && curItem.name.indexOf("layer") != (-1)){
          folderArray[folderArray.length] = curItem;
//Set cap for number appended to "layer"
var cap = 25;
var curName;
var folderArrayLength = folderArray.length;
//Loop through new "layer" array
for(var l=0; l<folderArrayLength; l++){
     for(var c=1; c<cap; c++){
          //Dynamic name
          curName = "layer"+c.toString();
          //Current folder name
          folderName = folderArray[l].name;
          //Compare them, alert if the match
          if(folderName == curName){
               alert("found folder = " + folderArray[l].name);
               break;//End comparison once found

Yes, you need a user, password and database. Nobody here on the forum can give you that. If you have not installed Designer repository yourself, than you should ask your designer administrator.

actually when we are trying to enter into the oracle sql,it asking the username,password and host string.I mentioned the username and password in variables tab.I don't know where I have to mention the host string name.
Please any one help on this.
Thank you,

I would say that, since the OP has so little info, there are no policies in use. It there were then this question would never be asked the way it is being asked.
I had a client call with a letter from their insurance company; an accountant with malpractice insurance. THey asked the same question inmuch the same way. "What computer can you users access?" The question should be more like
"Do you have a policy that restricts access to computers and do you audit for compliance?"
I have had other clients whose insurance asked the question in that way. It produces a better view of what should be happening and how to show compliance.
I recommend that companies being asked these questions by their legal departments or insurance companies should contract with a god computer security consultant to assist with answering these very tricky questions. Of course if it is just you boss's
curiosity then you may need to discuss his requirements with him in more depth.

Question about Domain and Host name fields.

Hello! Just a quick question, I currently have the Mail Server up and running although I'm a little unsure about what exactly needs to be entered into the users email application.
I've tested POP and IMAP using the information that I entered into the "Domain Name" field, and into the "Host name" field, and everything worked great.
Example:
Incoming Mail Server: mail.example.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.example.com
Although while setting up another site and including the normal mail setup via DNS I've also noticed that I can send and receive email by using other sites that belong to me, as long as they are pointing towards our server.
Example:
Incoming Mail Server: mail.mynewsite.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.mynewsite.com
So, I guess my question is whether its bad to use other websites in the incoming and outgoing mail server fields, or should I stick to the incoming and outgoing sites that I have listed in the Mail Server's 'Domain Name' and 'Host Name' fields?
I hope that made sense, thanks again for your help.
Paul
PowerMac G5, Xserve G5, and PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Does it matter if our users type mail.example.com
into the incoming mail server, or are they allowed to
use their own domain name "mail.mydomain.com" as long
as the DNS is setup correctly?
There is no intrinsic 'meaning' to hostnames entered into the mail client. These are merely converted to IP addresses, using available dns, and then the mail client communicates with the IP address, using whatever port number is applicable for the service required (e.g., port 25 for smtp, port 110 for pop). So you could use the hostname woohooo.mydomain.com for the smtp or pop server, as long as it resolves to the correct IP.
This enables laptop users to have the one smtp/pop hostname, with lan dns resolving it to the local private IP and ext dns resolving same hostname to wan IP.
There is also no need to have two separate hostnames for pop and smtp. These are typically used by ISPs because they have separate servers doing each job - one doing pop, one doing smtp. If one server does both (and there is no likelihood of splitting the services later) then just the one hostname for pop and smtp is fine.

Need to change IP address and host name on a ORACLE 10g RAC setup.

If you'd like to change HOSTNAME... Metalink (NOTE:220970.1)
Can I change the public hostname in my Oracle Database 10g Cluster using Oracle Clusterware?
Hostname changes are not supported in Oracle Clusterware (CRS), unless you want to perform a deletenode followed by a new addnode operation.
The hostname is used to store among other things the flag files and Oracle Clusterware stack will not start if hostname is changed.
Changing the Private Interconnect
o Change of the IP Address: change the IP address in the hosts file and/or DNS and make sure that ASM and the database also use the same interconnect
o Change of the private node name used by Oracle Clusterware: requires a reinstall of Oracle Clusterware
So, Public or Private hostnames can only be changed by removing/adding nodes, or reinstalling Oracle Clusterware. VIP Hostnames can be changed
But you can read this idea (reinstall CRS)
