DBCA Error: specify another sid

I deleted a database on my system manually (without dbca). Now i want to create a new database with the same SID, but dbca always give me an error, that the specified SID is already existing. I deleted all datafiles and the whole filestructure. I think I have to manually remove an entry from any file which is checked by dbca. But where can I find this file?
Choose another SID for the new db is not possible.
OS is SLES10
I hope someone can help me.

since you deleted it by hand, the oratab file wasn't updated. the SID for the DB must still be there. you'll probably have to edit it / remove the entry
I think it's at /etc/oratab

Installatiion error message :Oracle SID already exists. Specify another SID

Hi all,
I had Oracle 9idatabase installed on my system.I had to reinstall the Windows 2000 operating system on my computer. I used the Oracle 9i cd to deinstall evrything ,but when i try reinstalling it, i specify 'Oracle 9i' as SID and i get the message 'Oracle SID already exists. Specify another SID'.
What do i do? Can anyone guide me?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, probably You're trying to reinstall the same database / sample database.
This should be the message that You receive when Oradim utility try to create a NEW sid as a service.
To remove the old one, look at the services list. You should find a service called OracleService<NAME>. The <NAME> part of the service is Your SID.
Then, from command prompt, positioned in $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory, if not in the path, issue the follwing command:
oradim - DELETE -SID <NAME>
This should remove the service. If I'm right, in some versions of W2K server, I've found that it was impossible to recreate the SID with the same name without a reboot of the server.
May be this is Your problem
Hope this helps

1/ Could you tell me more about Windows 2000 OS was installed clearly or repaired? If the Windows 2000 OS was repaired, then I think that, you should reinstall only Oracle Database (by Database Configure Assitant or Oracle Universal Installer) but not completely install full of Oracle Server.
2/ I guessed your DB was Development Database, not Production Database. So, when you reinstall your Database, you might save it as template (structure). Good luck!

How to install XE and specify the SID (instead of XE) during install

I would like to use Oracle 10g Express Edition for development purposes but I already have an existing project that requires a specific SID.
I tried following some instructions on asktom.oracle.com on changing the SID but it was disastrous and did not work.
Ultimately I have to rip XE off and reinstall everything because it was so mucked up.
I would like to reinstall XE but during install specify the SID just like I can with Oracle 10g R2 Enterprise Edition.
Can someone please tell me how to do this, and Oracle if you are listening, can you modify XE so that the SID can be specified on install? This one thing is a deal breaker for me and am considering falling back and using postgresql for the initial release of this product instead of Oracle to clients. I am sure many of them would upgrade to Oracle Enterprise edition if I were able to release a product based on XE first.
thanks
OracleTek

At the time of installation , you can't change SID XE.
After installation, you can add another service name
Check following thread for more details

SXMB_MONI - Message has error on outbd. side

Hello,
We have occurences when interfaces appear to be successful in the SXMB_MONI monitor for processed xml messages. The status flag = successfull. But there is a column just in front of "Message ID" that also has another status flag.
When this flag is red and you hover over it, it shows the following "Message has error on outbd. side". How can we locate a corresponding log and get some more detail behind this message? We cannot seem to connect the dots between this red flag and a corresponding log entry to give us details of the problem.
When it says "outbound", which system should we be examining (PI or the receiving system)?
Thank you,
John

Hi,
Select the Messge in MONI and MenugotoOutbound Channel monitor
Double Click on the Idoc Number, this will take you to SM58 Screen
Here you can be able to seee the reason why it got errored out at Outbound Side.
Now in SM58Edit-Execute LUWs
Selection screen will appear and here select all the check boxes irrespective of any Error and select the date that when these message got into Error state and all.
And Now Execute that either in Foreground or in Background
This will execute all the Errored messages at Outbound side will process and the Idocs will reach to R/3

A4 BAD Protocol Error: "Specified set of flags is not valid"

Hi there
I try to implement a copying procedure for mails. The application should copy all messages (with flags and all that stuff) from one mail account to another one. As mail server are used an Exchange 2003 Server and a Zimbra server (version 5). The connection protocol is IMAP. I'm using javaMail 1.4.0
Anyway, if I'm trying to copy a message which has set the flags RECENT and SEEN as well as some user flags, I get this error message:
javax.mail.MessagingException: A4 BAD Protocol Error: "Specified set of flags is not valid".;
nested exception is:

     ... 2 moreThis is a shortened source code which I'm using. In principle it is based on the sample files given in the documentation:
eStore = eSession.getStore();
eStore.connect(user, password);
zStore = zSession.getStore();
zStore.connect(userZimbra, passwordZimbra);
IMAPFolder fe = (IMAPFolder) eStore.getDefaultFolder().getFolder("inbox");
IMAPFolder f = (IMAPFolder) zStore.getDefaultFolder().getFolder("inbox");
f.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
Message[] msgs = f.getMessages();
fe.appendMessages(msgs);Can someone help me and describe what I'm doing wrong??
thanks

Could You make an example?
I tried to subclass the class 'IMAPMessage' (messages which are returned with folder.getMessage() are of that type) and cast the messages to my new class. Unfortunately, I get always a 'ClassCastException'.
This are parts of my code:
public class MyIMAPMessage extends IMAPMessage {
     protected MyIMAPMessage(IMAPFolder folder, int msgnum, int seqnum) {
          super(folder, msgnum, seqnum);
          // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
     public Flags getFlags() {
          Flags flags = new Flags();
          for (int i=0; i<flags.getSystemFlags().length; i++)
               flags.add(flags.getSystemFlags());
          return(flags);
f.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
Message[] msgs = f.getMessages();
System.out.println(((MyIMAPMessage)msgs[0]).getFlags());
I think I do not exactly get your point. Maybe You could explain it a little more in detail.

Error in generating SID for 0Requid (187.98)

Hi All,
We have transported requests into the Quality and when iam trying to run the infopackage for master data through flat file, it pops up this erro msg which says "Error in generating SID for 0REQUID (187.98)".
This is the case with all master data infopackages.
Also in the quality system, when i change the path for flat file assignment in infopackage and click on save, it pops up for a request. As far as i know it should not ask for a requst in Quality system
Please guide me to resolve this as soon as possible.
Regards,
Neil

0Requid :187.98
what was this request ID...
go to RSRQ and give the request ID and execute...it gives the load monitor...
chk the load to which it belongs to either master or transaction...
if it belongs to master...then try to find the object to which it was loaded...and schedule the change run for the same object....

Error when assigning SID while uploading text in the info-object of the DSO

Hi
I have a scenario where I need to extract a char 60 field from R/3 in the DSO.
I have created the info-object which is char 60 which has the master data text activated.
In the DSO transformation I have mapped it to the R/3 field.
While activating the data in DSO its giving the error message
'Value '20 per action plan' (hex. '32302070657220616374696F6E20706C616E') of characteristic'
'Error when assigning SID: Action VAL_SID_CONVERT InfoObject ZRMSD '
How to overcome this issue.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Change the InfoObject for this text so that it will allow lowercase letters. To do this, go into Change mode on the InfoObject, go to the General tab, check the Lowercase letters checkbox and activate the InfoObject. After this has been activated, you can then restart your process and this SID violation error should no longer be thrown for this.
If you don't want to do this, then you can use the TOUPPER formula in the Characteristic Routine, in the Transformation, to change the value of this field contents to uppercase. This can also be done by using an ABAP routine like this:
TRANSLATE column TO UPPER CASE.

Error "Specify account number" during PRELIMINARY_POSTING_FB01

Dear All,
I am trying to post FI document in FB01 through PRELIMINARY_POSTING_FB01 F.M.
I am passing following data to it.
*Populate the header
Company code
ls_bkpf-bukrs = ls_posting2-bukrs.
Year
ls_bkpf-gjahr = ls_posting2-budat+0(4).
Document Type
ls_bkpf-blart = p_blart.
Posting date
ls_bkpf-bldat = ls_posting2-bldat.
Document Date
ls_bkpf-budat = ls_posting2-budat.
Period
Is_bkpf-monat = Is_posting2-monat.
*currency
Is_bkpf-waers = is_posting2-waers.
*Item data
*posting key
is_bseg-bschl = is_posting-bschl.
*Account
is_bseg-hkont = is_posting-hkont.
*amount
is_bseg-wrbtr = Is_postng-wrbtr.
After executing this it gives error
"Specify account number"
Is there any sollution for that......
Regards,
Amar

That is bcoz the account number you are populating in table parameters is not matching with values in table while processing. Use FM conversion_exit to prefix zeroes so that it matches the value in table.
