External Datasource Creation

Hi All,
I have created an external datasource to sql server from BAM (Version is 11g- 11.1.1.5). Datasource test was successful.
Configuration
==========
Owner --- Weblogic
type --- JDBC
Driver --- weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
User --- <user>
Password --- <pwd>
Connection String ---- jdbc:weblogic:sqlserver://<ip>:1433;User=<user>;Password=<pwd>
===========================================================
I was creating a DataObject using this External datasource, but External Table Name is not showing any Tables...
Please let me know your suggestion on this..
Thanks,
Manikandan

I created the user with the wizard Administration Assistant for windowsNT.thru I created the external user successfully but the problem is while I am connecting to sqlplus Iam unable to connect to the schema. I given connect and resource privilege to the exeternal user.
After creation of external user I entered into window with that user name and while I am connecting sqlplus at command prompt it is giving error. I given like at commond promp sqlplus "/ as sysdba". it is giving protocol error and how to connect to exeternal user with dba privilege.
what my doubt is how to connect to external user and is it necessary that external user should have the sysdba privileges.

TNS Error: ORA-12541: TNS: no listener.

I have installed Oracle 9i on machine in Windows XP. When I try to open the database SID in the Enterprise Manager, it gives me TNS Error: ORA-12541: TNS: no listener.
I have checked the Oracle Net Configuration:
Protocol: TCP/IP
Host: PNR18
Port: 1521
In the xp administrative tools, I found that the listener is on start.
When I try to test trough ' Net Configration Assistant' getting same error, similarly with Net Manager.
I don't know if I am using the correct protocol in my case of standalone installation.
Any advice/correction? it would be appreciated. I am giving all the information of TNSNAMES.ORA, LISTENER.ORA, SQLNET.ORA, which is on my machine.
Thanks in advance.

First of all Thanks for suggestions for solutions but still SAME PROBLEM:
Case-1::
I tried according to your suggestion, still SAME error !! I have also configured new DB
with Enterprise MAnager Configuration Assistent - during DB creation same error occured.
1) I have seen in XP service where all listener is running as well as OracleServiceORCL
is also running.
2) OracleOraHome90TNSListener also running with other listeners!
Case-2::
Dear I also delete listener and create new one and also configured Database Description
and tried to do so but still same problem while I am TESTing it with - Net Manager /
Net Configuration Assistant. I have also tried
C:\TNSPING ORCL - it is giving 'ok' result
but when I am using C:\LSNRCTL START listener - it gives me following errors.
Service OracleOraHome90TNSListener already running.
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error
32-bit Windows Error: 1056: Unknown error
Thats the whole story....hope this time you will find easy to give solution.

Receive TNS error when trying to upgrade DB

I receive a TNS error when I try to upgrade a database using the Database Upgrade Assistant. I want to upgrade to 9.2 from 8.1.7. When I click on the database I want to upgrade I receive the TNS error. It never prompts for a username/password@cstring.
I am trying to run this through Windows Terminal Service, is this the problem? I know there are issues trying to run server manager through WTS.
Thanks,
Jim

I'm new to this, but between Oracle 9.0 and 9.2 the required format appears to have changed for the "TNS Service Name" parameter for a "System DSN" in the Windows "ODBC Data Source Administrator". In 9.0 the "TNS Service Name" can be in either of two formats: global_database_name OR oracle_home$global_database_name. One can verify this by clicking the "Test Connection" button on the the "Oracle ODBC Driver Configuration" screen from the "ODBC Data Source Administrator" window. On a 9.2 system only the first format works. I tested this on freshly-installed systems, each with just one Oracle home and the default sample database.
Perhaps this is related to the problem you are encountering. I was able to fix a problem connecting to 9.2 by changing the "TNS Service Name" parameter. The error I was receiving was: "[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name".
Can anyone point me to some documentation on this apparent change between 9.0 and 9.2? Thanks in advance.

DataSource problems after BW upgrade

DataSource problems after BW upgrade
Upgrade from

to
SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0: SAP_BW 701 0007 SAPKW70107
BW system: PI_BASIS 7.01 SP 6

Problem exists throughout, both with generic and standard DataSources.
Here is one specific example:
Generic DataSource ZXXXXXXXX
InfoPackage "ZXXXXXXXX(ZXXXXXXXX)" does not run. Error:
DataSource ZXXXXXXXX(SOURCESYS) must be activated
Message no. RSDS179
Then followed these steps:
1. Replicate Metadata from source system
2. Report RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL from SE38 for source system SOURCESYS and DataSource ZXXXXXXXX
Errors returned:
Inconsistent user object ZXXXXXXXX SOURCESYS for PSA /BIC/B000XXXX
Error saving DataSource ZXXXXXXXX SOURCESYS
DataSource ZXXXXXXXX (SOURCESYS) could not be activated
When I try to choose "Manage" from the context menu for the DataSource, I see an error:
Invalid DataStore object name /BIC/B000XXXX: Reason: No valid entry in table RSTS
Message no. RSM1294
The following notes have not helped:

And no other SDN threads seem to give fruitful suggestions.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Just to help the folks out here.
In my case,
Inspite of going through several valid NOTES & program, my issue didnt resolve (you reply was pretty accurate - but dint help me :-)).
I have resolved the issue by adjusting the PSA table for the same.
Procedure:
Take the psa name --> go to table rstsods --> find the ODSNAME_TECH name for the relevant psa --> se38 t.code --> enter ODSNAME_TECH and click on 'adjust & activate database table' (make sure you have selected 'save data' radio button.
Just in case anyone who come across this problem, can do the above steps.
Regards,
Dubbu.

Installation Oracle 8i TNS error

I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.7. on windows 2000 OS. I have installed Oracle before but never had the problems I am having now.
I am installing it through a Remote Desktop Connection. I used the typical installation option. At 100% of the installation, it hangs on the net8 optional installation. When I am trying to create the database with the database configuration assistent I get an TNS error while initializing the global database. ORA-12560 TNS protocol adapter error.
What could be the problem here?
Marco

I've never tried installing Oracle 8 on Windows XP machine, so I don't know. And Oracle does not provide download link for software they don't support (like Oracle 8.1.7), 
So your options are upgrade your existing database or try searching 8.1.7 version. I presume you don't have 8.1.7 version, either way you need to upgrade your database anyway.
Give Oracle Express Edition(it's free) a try, using it you can fully utilize advance ODP.NET feature like Database Change Notification. If you choose to download Oracle Enterprise Edition, Oracle won't charge you if you use it only for development purpose.
Cheers,
NH

TNS Error after Linux Patch

I manage a small instructional Database (Oracle 9i) running on Linux Advanced Server. Everthing had been okay since installation last summer, until a week ago that our Linux Admin applied some patches. Now TNS listener (port 1521) and Oracle Apache (Port 7777) cannot be reached from outside the system. The strange thing is that both services are reported to be running OK, and on the server itself both of them work ok. However, trying from another machine (on the same network) there is neither a TNS listener found, nor an apache service for web (iSqlPlus).
Has anyone seen anything close to this before? Where would you suggest we look?
Thank you

What kind of TNS error you've got? - That's important!
Check that is not local firewall running.
Try stop that firewall using:
"/etc/init.d/iptables stop" - in case of iptables
or
"/etc/init.d/ipchains stop" - in case of ipchains
If it will solve your problem then disable starting of service for future. For example: use the "setup" command.

TNS errors - 8.1.7 Personal edition

Thanks to whomever replies,
I am brand new to Oracle (I am a student). Everything on the 8.1.7 seems fine when I installed it. The thing is when I attempt to log into SQL+ using scott/tiger or whatever, with or without a host I get tns errors 12560 - protocol adapter error, 12541 - no listener, and 12154 - could not resolve service name. I am using my standalone computer, and I'm not connected to any database. Oh i've read other people's forum questions and replies and have experimented by changing configurations but still no luck. Most students in my class are experiencing the same problems I have--professor really of no help. Anyones help will be deeply appreciated.

while connecting to an oracle database using any tool you have to specify a service name (net service name) to the client tool.
Service name is a combination of
Oracle SID :- each database will have a SID. In privious version its a 4 letter word like ORCL. In latest versions you can have the SID upto 8 letters. This SID is given while creating the database. In most default installations the default sid is ORCL.
Protocol information:-The protocol used to connect to the server. If you want to use TCP/IP protocol you should also provide the port number.(default 1521).
Machine name:- In which the server is installed. you can give ipaddress or machine name. if you want to know the ipaddress of your server you can use "ipconfig" in the os prompt. (in windows)
To create the service name you can use "net8 assistant" or Net8 configuration assistant. Then give the service name created as the host string while connecting to the database.

Possibly mundane Mini-DVI to VGA into an external monitor problem

Hi,
I've had a look over the interwebs regarding my problem and it seems as if it's not unusual to have external monitor problems but I'm not sure if mine is slightly different:
I had a perfectly working set up with my new Macbook (the white one, '06 model I believe), that was connected to my Hanns-G HU196D monitor via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, no problems whatsoever. But for a couple of weeks now my Macbook just flickers a light blue colour, with nothing at all on the monitor, and my macbook is unusable until I remove the adapter. I've read about updating firmware but I can't see my desktop once the macbook is connected to the monitor so it's not possible to configure anything. I've read somewhere that my external monitor isn't compatible with this set up, but it was until a couple of weeks ago!
My Macbook's 4 months old now and since then I've bought a new mini-dvi to vga adapter and a new VGA cable, no connections seem loose on either mini-dvi port or my monitor's vga port.
Thanks if you can help!
Jack

You will need to use a mini Dvi-dvi and a dvi-svideo/rca adapter.
Joy joy hallelujah.
Pardon the sarcasm...I just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to sort the issue out.
Heard a KWORLD PlusTV PCTOTV Converter SA235 USB 2.0 Interface would sort the issue out for under 40$ but it's not Mac.
Hope that helps.

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.
