I've tried this:

- stop service nscd,
- change the port number,
- recreate the repository....
But the problem still occurs...
Has someone another idea?
Thank You

I found the problem. Since I added NIST FIPS 140-2 in the database by add a file
$ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin/fips.ora
SSLFIPS_140=TRUE
This cause the Agent not start. Do you have any suggesting?
Thank You

Let me know where i have gone wrong ?
Thanks for ur effort.. -
CRS not starting after Oracle 11g Grid was succesuflly installed
Hi:
Have 2 node RAC. My Shared storage is on openfiler.
Oracle 11g Grid was successfully installed and all the services was working fine. When i restarted the system I found CRS was not coming up. Remaining processes were up and running.
Let me explain what I did: (O/s RHEL 5.4 & oracle 11g R2 grid)
I have a partition in shared disk /dev/sdc1 (I have other partitions, but thought of using only one for OCR and voting disk). (did not define it as raw partition as I used to do in 10g RAC).
While installing Oracle grid and when it prompted to enter the Diskgroup for OCR and Voting disk I gave a name DGDATA and choose only one (external redundancy) disk “/dev/sdc1″ (it does not ask for one for OCR and one for Voting as it used to do in 10g clusterware installation). As per my assumption both OCR and Voting disk were created within /dev/sdc1 (after installation when I queried I got the same info)
The Oracle grid installation has gone through successfully. when I restart the system I find CRS not starting.
The log says: “Error PROC:26: Error while accessing the physical storage ASM……..
ORA-01034: oracle not available...
Could not init OCR, code:26….
Linux permission denied".
For your information….ASM instance is up (check in both the nodes) and I find the diskgroup mounted.
Can anyone help on this.
Also let me know how to uninstall Oracle 11g Grid software and configuration. If I have to reinstall the Oracle 11g grid software and config once again is it possible without reinstalling RHEL. Let me know the steps or any link please. don't want to get into a mess again.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Getting started with Oracle 11g express edition
I am currently in a college class doin SQL. I have downloaded oracle 11g express edition. I'm trying to get started and when I try to create a new connection it takes me to a screen where I have to sign in. When I use my oracle sign in and pass word it tells me it doesn't recognize it. No I know it works because I can sign in on the web site. But it won't connect me or allow me to make a new connection. I really don't understand what is going on. I can seriously use some help. Something that will take me step by step on what I need to do. I have to create a data base and I'm not sure how to do it.
Thank You
Carl GavinHello Carl,
Something that will take me step by step on what I need to do.Sounds like what you are searching for is the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/admin.112/e18585/toc.htm]Getting Started Guide.
If you need some advanced knowlege, there would be the "2 Day DBA Guide", which, among other topics, contains a section on [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/server.112/e18804/connecting.htm#CEGIFAHF]Connecting to the Database. I think you'll find all necessary information (background and step by step description) you need.

Need Best way to start learning Oracle 11g DBA
Hi.This is Tejaswi.
I want to learn Oracle 11g DBA.I've downloaded all software's and Documentation for Orcl 11g R2. Now. i want to start Learning DBA. Can any one suggest me the best way to Start learning DBA?
Please suggest me the good books For Oracle Architecture and SQL.......Hello Tejaswi,
The advice you got about reading the Oracle Concepts and 2 Day DBA documentation is very good advice.
I found that knowing some SQL*Plus and SQL Developer was also very helpful as, they both provide a way to interface with the database and try the things you read about. For SQL Plus, I used the book:

ISBN : 0-596-00746-9 I openly recommend it. It is easy to read, the book is very well thought out, it covers what you really need to know (and more too). The author explains the subjects very well. I would definitely learn some SQL Plus and SQL developer before getting into the 2 Day DBA document (make those 2 days about 7 days each if not more).
To learn SQL, I "sort of" used (I say "sort of" because I only read some parts of it available online and at the local bookstore):
Oracle SQL by Example
By Alice Rischert
Publisher: Prentice Hallit probably has more SQL than you'd need as a DBA but, it is an excellent book you may want to consider.
If you are starting from scratch, as I did, you'll find that you need to learn multiple things at the same time. I believe SQL Plus is the best place to start, along with possibly the Concepts document. That will give you a base to build upon.

Deinstall Failed Oracle 11g 32-bit installation
I haven't been able to de-install a failed/incomplete Oracle 11g 32-bit installation from Windows 7. I downloaded the deinstall utility for this configuration, but when I ran the bat file (the only executable file I found), it flashed an error and quit, before I could even read why it failed. What am I missing, please?

ORACLE 11G INSTALLATION PROBLEM ON WIN7 32 bit
okay i intalled the 11g edition but quite unsuccesfully . This is the view of start menu entry
start->allprograms->oracle 11g express edition->empty
Well, it shouldn't be like this !
Can't figure out why ?
Edited by: 908289 on Jan 16, 2012 3:52 AM
Edited by: 908289 on Jan 16, 2012 7:59 AMi have the folder named oracleexe and app folder inside it . so this is what i should get as installed folders i guess !!Yes, that's what you can expect after a successful installation. Take a look in the direct ".\oracle\product\11.2.0\server" below the "app" directory. Do you see some url-link files there? (Despite several other subdirectories, of course...)
Two of them should be the "Database_homepage" and "Get_Started". Try to call them.
And Oracle XE service is started . Well, that's great. Sounds like all you lack is the links in you task menu.
i couldn't quite get you here . which software/ programs are you referring to ? The start menu entry created is shown already as it is in the problem above and installation folders are there as i mentioned above . what else ,you refferring to ?I just wanted to check whether the installer has registered the database in the Windows list. This is part of a successful installation and would offer you the opporunity to uninstall (and perhaps reinstall) the whole package.
Also , i am not sure which lOG file to check there because there are a lot of them !!As your database seems to be running as noted above, it doesn't seem to be necessary to go into these details.
You should be able to access your database, either by using the links mentioned above, or, if these failed to be created, by calling the URLs by hand, e.g.
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950 for "Get_Started" and
http://127.0.0.1:8080/htmldb for the "Database_homepage".
You should also be able to use the command line tool by calling sqlplus from a command window.
If that doesn't satisfy you or you face any errors, you could try to reinstall.

Host Credentials ERROR Invalid username and or password Oracle 11g
Hi,
This error has been bugging me for sometime now and I can't find a straight forward answer anywhere, can you help?
Oracle 11g on Windows XP SP2 Intel box.
I am trying to export data and when I'm asked for the Host Credentials I get the error
" ERROR Invalid username and or password "
I have tried the following syntax for Username:
<domain name>\Administrator
<domain name.local>\Administrator
<domain name>/Administrator
<Local host name>\<domain name>\Administrator
I have gone through making sure that the local security policy settings are correct.
I have added domain and local Administrator to the ora_dba Group.
All services relating to Oracle are running.
I can connect via SQL Plus with no issues.
I can connect to EM locally and from my client pc with no issues.
Any ideas, please, can anyone help me?
I'll gladly furnish you with any info I can to get past this seemingly simple step!
Regards
naexpert.Trying to understand your reply, here is what I did:
Created new Windows user called OraAdmin.
OraAdmin is now member of administrators group and Ora_dba group.
Logged onto EM at server and used System user logon.
Data Movement

Brtools statistic error as sid adm in Oracle 11g
When running brtools statistics as <sid>adm I get this error. When I run it as ora<sid> I do not get this error.
BR0301E SQL error -2133 at location BrOraThrEnable-1, SQL statement:'ENABLE THREADS'
I have oracle client setups in
/oracle/client/10x_64
/oracle/client/11x_64
I have 2 Oracle databases on the Linux(Redhat) server - one version 10.2.0.4 & the other version 11.2.0.2.
Any advice on what I should be looking at to fix this error?hi Bill,
please check following note.
Note 1449619 - BR*Tools cannot be started on Oracle 11g
Problem 2
The BRCONNECT statistic function cannot be started on Oracle 11g and under the user <sid>adm on Unix platforms. Directly after you call BRCONNECT, a termination occurs with one of the following SQL error messages, for example:
sidadm> brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t all
BR0801I BRCONNECT 7.20 (1)
BR0301E SQL error -2133 at location BrOraThrEnable-1, SQL statement:
'ENABLE THREADS'
BR0806I End of BRCONNECT processing: cedbfuze.sta 2010-04-21 18.11.02
BR0280I BRCONNECT time stamp: 2010-04-21 18.11.02
BR0804I BRCONNECT terminated with errors
solution:
Problem 2
Install Version 5 of Oracle Instant Client 10.2.0.4 (or higher) on the database server.
If you have installed Oracle Instant Client 11g and are still using the standard version of BR*Tools 7.20 (in other words, you are not using the 720_EXT tools), and if Oracle Instant Client 10g is not installed on the database server, you must also create the following soft link:
> cd /oracle/client
> ln -s 11x_64 10x_64

Not able to start Em Console for Oracle 11g in Linux 6.1
I have a RedHat Linux 6.1 Laptop. I successfully installed Oracle 11g in my laptop and configured the DB.

As you have mentioned that the sysman account was locked I would recommend to change the sysman password as per below doc to ensure the password is consistent at both config file and DB level

Then try accessing the DBcontrol using below URL

I have set up SharePoint 2013 Foundation, SharePoint Reporting Services and SQL Server 2012 in a single server. I then created a Data Connection to Oracle 11g. Upon testing the connection, it throws the error “ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
Given below are the steps of installation and configuration.
Installation till basic authentication:
The installation has been done in a
single server.
Installed SQL Server 2012 (Developer version).
Selected only the following features:
Database Engine Services
Analysis Services
Reporting Services – SharePoint
Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products
Management Tools – Basic
- Management Tools - Complete
2. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP1.
3. Installed SQL Server 2012 SP2.
4. Installed SharePoint Foundation 2013.
5. Created web application (without Kerberos; we did not even create the SPNs).
The application pool has been configured to use Reporting Services account since it is a single server installation. This account has been registered as a managed
account.
6. Created Site Collection.
7. Verified that Reporting Services is not installed.
8. Installed SharePoint Reporting Services from SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
9. Verified that Reporting Services is installed.
10. Created a new SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and associated the Web Application to the new SQL server Reporting Services Service Application.
11. Verified that SQL Server Reporting Services Service Application and its proxy have started. Reset IIS.
12. Created a Site.
13. Created a Data Connection library with “Report Data Source” content type.
14. Created a Report Model library with “Report Builder Model” content type.
15. Created a Report library with “Report Builder Report” content type.
16. Uploaded an SMDL to the Report Model library.
17. Added the top level site to Local Intranet instead of as a Trusted Site in the browser settings.
18. Able to create and save a report using Report Builder.
Hence, basic authentication is working and SSRS is able to connect to Oracle database.
Next we have to configure Kerberos settings between SharePoint and SQL Server.
Implementation of Kerberos authentication
In the Report Server machine, opened the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\WebServices\Reporting\rsreportserver.config and added the Authentication Types of RSWindowsNegotiate
and RSWindowsKerberos.
2. Set up the following SPNs.
a) SQL Server Database Engine service (sqlDbSrv2):
setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
setspn -S MSSQLSvc/CER1110.cer.demo.com:1433 CERDEMO\sqlDbSrv2
In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)".
b) Account: SharePoint Setup Admin account (spAdmin2)
setspn -S HTTP/CER1110:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com:9999 CERDEMO\spAdmin2
In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service
(Kerberos only)".
c) Account: SQL Server Reporting Service account (sqlRepSrv2)
setspn -S HTTP/CER1110 CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
setspn -S HTTP/CER1110.cer.demo.com CERDEMO\sqlRepSrv2
In the Delegation tab of the account, selected "Trust this user for delegation to any service
(Kerberos only)".
3. Configure the Web Application to use “Negotiate (Kerberos)”.
4. Logged in as SharePoint Administrator to the SharePoint server and opened the top level site in the IE browser.
The Event Viewer logged the login process for the SharePoint Administration account as
Negotiate and not Kerberos.
5. Implemented Kerberos for Oracle database and client.
Able to connect to the Oracle database via Kerberos authentication using SQL Plus.
6. Turn on Windows Firewall.
7. While testing the site's data connection using Kerberos settings, got the error
“Can not convert claims identity to windows token. This may be due to user not logging in using windows credentials.”
Note: The Data Connection for basic authentication still worked.
8. Created a Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2).
9. Started the Claims to Windows Token Service.
10. Registered the Claims to Windows Token Service account as a Managed Account.
11. Changed the Claims To Windows Token Service to use the above managed account.
12. Verified that the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) is automatically added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box.
Note: The Reporting Services service account is also a part of the WSS_WPG local group.
13. Added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) to the Local Admin Group on the machine having the SharePoint App Server.
14. In the SharePoint box, added the Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) in the Act as part of the operating system policy right.
15. The Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) has the WSS_WPG group configured.
When the C2WTS service was configured to use the managed account Claims to Windows Token Service account (spC2WTS2) earlier, the spC2WTS2 account was automatically
added to the WSS_WPG local group on the SharePoint box. The WSS_WPG group in turn is configured in c2wtshost.exe.config file.
16. Verified that the Reporting Services account is a managed account and part of the WSS_WPG group.
17. Earlier Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service was associated with the SharePoint Admin account.
Changed this to associate the Reporting Service account with the Service Application Pool - SQL Server Reporting Services App Pool service.
18. Changed the delegation of the Reporting Service account to constrained delegation with Protocol Transitioning. This is because we are transitioning from one authentication scheme (Claims) to another (Windows Token).
For this, the delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use
any authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
Note: The Reporting Service account already had an HTTP SPN.
19. Next, the goal was to make the Claims To Windows Token Service account match the Reporting Service account.
For this, we created a fake SPN for the Claims To Windows Token Service account since the delegation tab was missing.
The delegation has been changed to "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only". Also, selected the sub radio button "Use any
authentication protocol". Selected the Oracle Kerberos service as the service to which this account can present delegated credentials.
20. Restarted the SharePoint server.
21. Tested the data connection with the Kerberos settings again.
Got the error
“ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed”.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this setup?http://www.freeoraclehelp.com/2011/10/kerberos-authentication-for-oracle.html
Problem4: ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
Solution: Make sure that SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CC_NAME is set in sqlnet.ora and okinit has been run before attempting to connect to the database.
Do check

thanks in advance.looks like listener is not running on the database server you are trying to connect to *(ORA-12541TNS- no listener)*. even though you have configured both tnsnames and lisnterner.ora files, you have to start listener for clients to make connections to db. hope this helps. set your oracle home and then type as below. these commands are very simple and I don't think I need to explain them.

No its a company Mobile workstation Laptop with a client data i am trying to retrieve. The data was loaded through an application. The original owner of the laptop moved on to another region. A username and password with administrative privilege was created for me. I was able to connect to oracle but had issues with wallet when i connect to the application. The previous owner of the laptop could connect successfully using his local admin account. I started creating and deleting wallet until i had the issue. Ok... got your issue....
Wallet key depends upon the hostname and ip configuration. so every time you move your laptop to other region it ip hostname changes.
When you created wallet initially, it looked the ip and hostname address in wallet key....
The solution would be to remove wallet from wallet manager...Or when creating wallet ensure to fix the ip hostname....
