Error connecting to ISQL*Plus

Hi all,
I hope to seek your advice.
Not sure why after I connected to internet, I am unable to get connected to ISQL*PLUS, although I had putt in the correct username and password. I have this ERROR - ORA-12541: TNS:no listener.
And not sure why Enterprise Management unable to open, it keeps on saying page cannot be displayed, but yesterday I could still open http://yourserver:5500/em
Thank you.

Not sure why after I connected to internet, I am unable to get connected to ISQL*PLUSwhat if you disconnected your machine from the internet? does it start working again?
were you connected to the internet when installing this software?
Can you ping localhost?
C:\> ping 127.0.0.1
or
C:\> ping localhost?

Error connecting in Discoverer Plus/Viewer 10.1.2

I'm triying to connect to Discoverer Plus or Viewer. When I get to the login screen, fill all the required fields, but I got the following message: "The application encountered an invalid state.
- - Nested exception: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No
OracleBI Discoverer Viewer was unable to find the necessary data for displaying the results of this event. Please correct any errors and try again.
When I run the checkdiscoverer. It works ok in all the checks except for: "Error: Failed to bind to Discoverer Server.
Hint: Try increasing the timeout by changing the timeout value in opmn.xml.". As the hint said I increased the start timeout, I got it up to 3500 and even incresed the minprocs to see if that helped. Nothing worked.
I'm testing this in a Windows XP Pro SP2 installed 1GB Ram. I Installed the BI Tools, App server but no infrastructure. The Installation process finished without any problems, except for a warning regarding not being able to determine the IP address. I can access all the options of the app server.

Hi Christian
In your connection to the database are you using a DNS named server or are you using an actual IP address?
By this I mean, when you launch Discoverer, do you do it this way:
http://servername.domain.com:7777/discoverer/plus
or this way:
http://ipaddress:7777/discoverer/plus
If you are using the former, can you go to the server itself and run Discoverer ok? If you can then it is a case that your local machine cannot work out what the IP address is. Let's say, for arguements sake, that you server is http://myserver.mydomain.com and that the IP is 192.168.1.100
You could try editing your HOSTS file and inserting a line in there to associate the IP with the domain. To do this, follow this workflow:
1. Right click on Windows Start button and from pop upmenu select Explore
2. Navigate to the folder called Windows/system32/drivers/etc
3. Locate the file called HOSTS
4. Edit this file with Notepad
5. Insert a line like this:
myserver.mydomain.com 192.168.1.100
6 Save the HOSTS file and exit Explorer
This associates the IP with the server name.
Does this help

Michael

Cannot use iSQL*Plus to connect Oracle 9i for Intel Linux

When I try to use brower connecting to isql*plus , nothing appear.
By performing the following steps :
1. Change directory to the Oracle HTTP Server home bin directory by entering:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf
3. Parse the Oracle HTTP Server httpd.conf configuration file by entering:
apachectl configtest
Display: Sytax OK
4. Start the Oracle HTTP Server by entering
apachectl start
Display: Could not start
Then, I find that the oracle http server cannot be started and open the error_log file of Oracle HTTP server :
[Mon Nov 11 00:09:25 2002] [crit] (2)No such file or directory: Apache JServ encountered a fatal error; check your ApJServLogFile for details if none are present in this file. Exiting.
There are also many files like:
mm.1807.sem
mm.2012.mem
How can I fix this problem ?
Thanks.

Have you checked the ApJServLogFile? You might find some clues there.
I'm curious as to why you are getting 'display' errors. Is your display environment set up properly?

ISQL Plus Connection

when I try to connect using iSQL Plus(Release 9.2.0.1.0 Production) with Oracle 10g client it reports the following error
"ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
but I'm able to connect thro' TOAD or our SQL prompt. why I'm unable to connect it thro iSQL Plus? Is there anything that relates with the Release?
Thanks in Advance.
Kalpana.N

How are you trying to connect ? With iSql*Plus the Client version is not relevant, since you just use a browser.

ISql*plus Crashes all the time

Hi ,
I have installed Oracle10G in Wingows2003 server and created a database. My iSql*plus service crashes after every couple of hours and I need to restart it. Is there any bug with isqlplus on Windows ?
Thanks,
Asha

Are there any errors in the event log?
Are there any errors in the iSQL*Plus logs? The iSQL*Plus log file is written to:
$ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/isqlplus/application-deployments/isqlplus/application.log
The iSQL*Plus Help log file is written to:
$ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/isqlplus/application-deployments/isqlplushelp/application.log
You could try setting the iSQL*Plus error logging level to something higher than the default to see if there are any other errors:

Em is working; iSQL*Plus is not

Hi,
Seeking expert suggestions from you guys!!
- I've installed 10gR2 on WinXP. It is local to the server.
- Now I'm able to connect using EM.
- However when I connect using iSQL*Plus / iSQL*Plus DBA in IE6,
getting "The page cannot be displayed".
What could be the problem? Any ideas?

Logging in as SYSDBA via isql*plus

Hi all
Just installed Oracle 10g on my computer and I am able to connect to enterprise manager, create an account and also log in via isql*plus with the new account.
I was wondering how do i connect to isql*plus web based using a sysdba account?
I would enter:
Username: SYS
PW: ????
Connect Identifier: [Blank]
Is that correct?
Usually when logging in to isql i would use the following command
conn sys/[password] as sysdba

If it was me, I'd follow the 'configure iSQLPlus to allow logon as SYSDBA' steps in Chapter 2 of the "SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference" manual found at http://tahiti.oracle.com

TNS error connecting to db using iSQL*Plus

I am trying to use iSQL to access our database (Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0) for the first time.
I have reviewed Note 185707.1.
I start the HTTP Server on my client PC.
I bring up my web browser (IE version 6).
I enter in the URL http://<<host>>:7778/isqlplus.
ISQL*Plus login page is displayed.
I enter a valid user, password and connection identifier and receive the ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name Error.
In the Note referenced above, there are instructions for configuring the iSQL*Plus Server, but I am not sure what that is (or where it is). It says to enter a new connection identifier in the tnsnames.ora file as follows:
connection identifier = (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=www.oracle.com) (PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=orashop)))
but I am confused as to how this would be different from my existing connection unless we are supposed to put this in literally then use connection string orashop (which seems unlikely).
Any help would be appreciated.
Tracy

You have a couple of options.
1. Leave the connection identifier empty to connect to the default database (just like in SQL*Plus command line).
2. Confirm you can log into SQL*Plus command line using the same connection identifier.
3. Confirm that your tnsnames.ora file contains the correct connection information for the database you are trying to connect to.
The 'orashop' example is only an example.

ISQL*Plus: Internal error (no valid library could be found)

I install iSQL*PLUS on middle tier (9i AS 1.0.2.1) according to documentation, when I trying to connect I am getting Internal error (no valid library could be found). The TNSNAMES.ORA file is correct.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

My first suggestion is to use the HTTP listener on the RDBMS bundle. This is what iSQL*Plus 8.1.7 Beta was built for.
The HTTP servers on the iAS and Database releases require mods to be compiled differently.

ISQL*PLUS dynamic reports - how to pass connect string in the URL

When we run dynamic reports thru ISQL*PLUS, does anyone know how
to pass the connect string info in the URL
The following is the code from ISQL*PLUS users guide but it
dosen't show how to pass the connect string
when I tried to pass hr/your_secret_password@dbserver for userid
I got an error msg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>iSQL*Plus Report</H1>
<H2>Query by Employee ID</H2>
<FORM METHOD=get ACTION="http://host.domain/isqlplus">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="userid"

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="script"

Enter employee identification number: <INPUT TYPE="text"
NAME="eid" SIZE="10">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Run Report">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks
Jay

The form you use should work when your change
"hr/your_secret_password" to a valid username, password
and connect identifier like "hr/hr@MYDB". Don't forget to
configure MYDB in your tnsnames.ora file on the machine that has
the iSQL*Plus server.
What was the error you got?
The full URL syntax did seem to go missing from the 9.0.1 doc.
See below for the full syntax. This should be appearing in a
forthcoming FAQ.
- CJ
What syntax can I use to run an iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report?
You can run a dynamic report by entering the report URI in the
location field of your browser, or by making the report server a
link or the action for an HTML form. The iSQL*Plus 9i Release 1
documentation has examples of these.
The general syntax for running a dynamic report is:
{uri}?[userid=logon&]script=location[&param...]
where uri
Represents the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
of the iSQL*Plus Server, for example:
http://host.domain/isqlplus
where logon
Represents the log in to the database to which you
want to connect:
{username[/password][@connect_identifier]}
where location
Represents the URI of the script you want to run.
The syntax is:
http://[host.domain/script_name]
The host serving the script does not have to be
the same as the machine running the iSQL*Plus server.
where param
Specifies the named parameters for the script you
want to run.
Named parameters consist of varname=value pairs.
iSQL*Plus will define the variable varname to equal value prior
to executing the script e.g.
...script=http://server/s1.sql&var1=hello&var2=world
This is equivalent to the SQL*Plus commands:
SQL> define var1=hello
SQL> define var2=world
SQL> @http://server/s1.sql
iSQL*Plus, SQL*Plus and SQL keywords are reserved
and must not be used as the variable names (varname). Note also,
that since variables are delimited by the ampersand character,
there is no requirement to enclose space delimited values with
quotes. However, to embed the ampersand character itself in the
value, it will be necessary to use quotes.
For compatibility with older scripts using the &1
variable syntax, varname may be replaced with the equivalent
variable position as in:
...script=http://server/s1.sql&1=hello&2=world
Note the & is the URL parameter separator and not
related to the script's substitution variable syntax.
Commands and script parameters may be given in any
order in the dynamic report URI. However, please note that if any
parameters begin with reserved keywords such as "script" or
"userid" then it may be interpreted as a command rather than a
literal parameter.

Thanks. A new problem when connecting isql*plus to database

Thanks for everyone helping me.
I can browse the isql*plus page now. However, When I connect isql*plus to the database, I got the error displayed in the isqlplus login browser screen:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Pls help.

Can you connect to it from command line SQL*Plus?
It sounds like the database is not running. You should start up the database and try again.

Error when connecting to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel

OS: Windows 2000 Professional
Oracle DB: 9i release 2
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0
MS Excel: 2000
===================
When I try to connect to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel with "connect scott/tiger@odbc:libro" I get the following error:
ORA-03121: no interface driver connected - function not performed

SQL Server objects are commonly case sensitive, so please surround the column and table names by double quotes:
SELECT "Type_PK_ID" FROM "dbo"."boundaries"@sqlserver
SIDE NOTE: Oracle is by default not case sensitive and all object names are stored in upper case. To get case sensitive objects they need to be surrounded by double quotes. In HSODBC case sensitive table names were commonly found even when not surrounded by double quotes as the gateway used internal SQL Server methods to find the correct table nameing - this method does not work for column names. So to be able to query a case sensitive column it needs to be surrounded by double quotes and the table name must be written as stored in the source database.

Error on connecting to discoverer plus

can you please help me out so solve this prob.
the discoverer plus version is 10.1.2.48.18

Currently there is not enough information to realy de-bug the issue. I would look at the URL and verify that the URL with the connections page is the same as after entering the connection information. The URL can change if there is a Load Balancer or Proxy server involved.
Run the Discoverer script below to verify the Discoverer server is up and working.
$MidOH/discoverer/util > . ./checkdiscoverer.sh
Next look in the Discoverer application.log for additional information about the error. It is located at:
$MidOH/j2ee/oc4j_bi_forms/application_deployments/discoverer/oc4j_bi_forms_default_island_1
If these messages do
You are running an older release of 10g. The latest production release of 10g is 10.1.2.3 with Cumulative Patch 6 applied. See Note 237607.1 - ALERT: Required and Recommended Patch Levels For All Discoverer Versions. This Note is kept up to date.
