Domain Names and Oracle

Hi,
I am preparing to install Oracle 8i on my Windows NT machine,
and I stumped into something that I can find no answer for.
Oracle asks me to say what my domain name is (e.g. suse.com). It
uses this to manage the different Oracle instances, e.g.,
server1.suse.com and server2.suse.com. Well, the problem is that
our machines do not have our domain name. That is, the machine I
am using (as well as all our servers) does not have a DNS name
xxx.intelsystech.com. Their names are managed by our ISP, and
for all I know they change it once in a while. Our machines do
have unique IP numbers, though (e.g. 43.25.44.32). We have
managed to do just about everything else using these fixed IP
numbers (e.g. ftp, http, etc.). Also, names are not a problem
because all machines are in the Windows Active Directory domain,
and therefore have a "local" name (e.g. Monet) in the Windows
LAN.
What should I enter when Oracle asks for my domain name? And for
the machine name? Can I use the IP number? Or the IP pattern
(e.g. 43.25.44.)? How will I be able to refer to an Oracle
service (listener, database name) without a domain name?
Thanks,
Taha

Oracle asks me to say what my domain name is (e.g. suse.com). It
uses this to manage the different Oracle instances, e.g.,
server1.suse.com and server2.suse.com. These domain names are not the same as ip domain names. You need
the domain names only if you want to have different oracle db's
connected to each other, e.g. for replication.
If you are using this db alone, then just choose any name.
How will I be able to refer to an Oracle
service (listener, database name) without a domain name? You can use ip-addresses for listener and tnsnames, but it is
better to use dns-names.
Hop this helps.

Domain name and IP address - 11.5.8

Hi All,
We are running Oracle Application 11.5.8 on HP-UX (two node). Now we want to change Domain name and ip address of the server.
How can I do this. From where can I get the documentation for this task.
Thanks.

Hi, this job is very easy if you use autoconfig tool, for maore information you can read the note 165195.1 in Metalink.
Good Luck...

Changing Domain Name and IP address of a server

We have an Oracle 10G server (running on Windows) that needs to have its domain name and IP address changed. I did a search on this forum and found similar threads to this one (e.g. Rename server name & change domain Just wondering if anyone has any other comments to make that haven't been mentioned previously.
Looks like on the server side, we just have to change the listener and tnsnames.ora file. Anything else we have to worry about? (Unfortunately this is something I've never done before.)

TomF:
Yeah I know the listner SHOULD be the only thing that needs to know the server's network information. However, databases are big, complex pieces of software, and I'm just a bit paranoid that there's some system variable that needs to also get changed that I might be overlooking.
You suggested I might need to change the global_name... Upon further research, I've found references to other variables that may need to change... local_listener, remote_listner, and dispatcher. (Note: I don't have the Oracle documentation handy so I can't verify how valid those are.)

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....
Thanks

The publishing settings page does not open when I click on the domain name and the iWeb application will not stay on the dock.

Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
1 if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
2 I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details. All that comes up is the main page of her website.
I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
Any ideas please?
she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8

NO - not correct. Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe. You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting. They are not taking any new subscriptions.
On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11. Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want.

Domain name and session

Hi ,
We have deployed our application on tomcat server built on struts framework.
We have also set the domain name and are redirecting the domain name to Static Ip
where our application is deployed with URL Masking option enabled.
Everything is working fine in Firefox.But in IE6 and IE7 we are facing issues related to sessions.
Example:
it works when we access directly
http://156.78.78.89:8000/myapp/login.do?method=display
     when i redirect this with a domain name(with URL masking enabled) like
     http://www.mydomain.com It does not work.
     I am not able to login into application(using sessions of this) or use shopping cart(using cookies)
Cookies are getting disabled and there is no session maintainance.
Is it problem with struts config or tomcat server?
I am unable to take my application live because of this issue.
Please help me to solve. Thank you for your time and consideration

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 iweb - masking url?

Just go to the whatever place has your domain name and ask them or search in their FAQ or Help for how to do Domain Forwarding and Masking.

Horizon View is depended on AD and this task is not trivial.
What needs to be done depends on your setup and configuration and you will need assist from VMware Support and you should first replicate the setup in a test-environment.

Get Windows domain name and user through jsp

I have a jsp page that will be viewed through ie on windows platform, that is a member of domain.
I need to get the domain name and logged in windows user name to use it in my page.
I've looked through similar topics. Found no answer.
1.
System.parameter("user.name") is not ok. it returns user that runs jvm.
2.
import com.sun.security.auth.module.NTSystem;
NTSystem system = new NTSystem();
system.getDomain()
system.getName()that didn't work through jsp, though the answer is correct.
3. I found some api at http://www.sinotar.com/download/swin/doc/index.html
it did the right thing, but it's not free.
Could anyone advice me smth?
I've looked

well, it won't work in your jsp because jsps run server-side
could try putting an applet on your page that does it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the security manager put the kibosh on that, too
a third - but clunky - way would be to write a quick java app that does it, and launch it through WebStart. bit ugly, and needs extra user input they might not want to do

Resolving local domain name and nameserver address

Hi,
Is there any way to get the local domain name (on Windows it would be NT domain name and on Unix based platform it is DNS server's domain name) and local DNS server address ?
Thanks,

Domain name and search engines

Hi
There have been a few helpful postings about the importance
of having text on your frontpage for crawlers etc to improve your
search ranking. My question: how important is the domain name for
search engines? Is it worth investing a dime or 2 on a good generic
domain? If you needed to have 2 words (e.g. www.top-lawyer.com) is
it better to have them combined (e.g. www.toplawyer.com).
PS This is just an example...I am not a lawyer!

I think that your both confusing "domain names" and
"domain/web space
hosting" here.
Typically you register with a hosting company and receive an
amount of disk
space. bandwith etc and a domain name, say
www.thru-the-net.com
You create your web site and upload it to the serve and
people can access
your web site at www.thru-the-net.com
Now you realise that many people outside the US are entering
www.through-the-net.com so you get your provider to register
www.through-the-net.com for you as well and they POINT this
address to
www.thru-the-net.com. That is to say when people enter
www.through-net.com
the actually end up at www.thru-the net.com i.e. the same
place.
This is o.k. you can have as many variations as you want -
www.thru-the-net.com
www.through-the-net.com
www.thruthenet.com
www.throughthenet.com
www.thru-the-net.net
www.through-the-net.net
etc. all pointing to the same www.thru-the-net.com server.
This is o.k. and
the search engines don't mind this.
BUT
If you have SEPARATE web space for each of these domain name
variants and
just copy your entire site into each of these spaces, now the
domains are
not being forwarded. They are entirely stand alone domains
that are all the
same.
Search engines DON'T like these and see them as an attempt at
improving
ranking and therefore penalise all of them.
Sorry for being so long winded, but hopefully this makes
sense.

Hi,
I could start weblogic as an nt service by changing the name of the
default server and domain. I had to include password in the

How can I make my homepage my domain name and not anything else?

I own my domain name and it is hosted with godaddy and everything is working fine except that when I go to http://www.mydomain.com it redirects to http://www.mydomain.com/1stiwebpage.html Is it possible to have my homepage (in this case 1stiwebpage) stay at www.mydomain.com or is it inevitable for it to redirect to what ever is the name of the top page in the iweb hierarchy. I hope this question makes sense. Thanks

The only way you can get this is to switch how you are forwarding. If you want www.mydomain.com then you would need to use masked web forwarding instead of CNAME. CNAME will show your site like this so that you can bookmark.
