External Procedure Listener shows Down when it is Up

I have a separate listener for our extproc calls. OEM doesn't find a port associated with this listener so it can't ping it and therefore says it is down. Is there some way to get OEM to identify that this listener is up?

Nicolas,
Yes I am able to run processes regardless the showing status of prcs ?
I figured out what the problem is.
It looks like the Process Schedular ran into a Oracle bug where the uptime of the machine cannot be > 248 days. Although this bug should not affect 10.2.0.4 database.
It seems to me that PeopleTools 8.22.15 -- Process Scheduler is still affected by it.
I rebooted my AIX unix server and all started working fine.
Thanks

12c - Listener shows down

I added a host to 12c and it discovered database. Listener shows down. The listener on the host is actually up. 12c is looking for listener.ora file in a specific directory (TSN_ADMIN) but the file is in $TNS_ADMIN/SID_host directory. How do I manually correct the configuration so that the agent knows where the listener.ora file is? I looked everywhere but I can't find a location in 12c where I can put in the location of listener.ora file.
I want to update this target's "LISTENER.ORA Location" parameter with the location of the currently running Listener. How do I do this? Thanks.

Go to the homepage of the listener target, and select Oracle Listener > Target Setup > Monitoring Configuration. You can then specify an appropriate value in the Listener.ora Directory field.

EM12c Oracle Database Plug-In 12.1.0.7 update now shows 10g listener as down when it's not

EM 12.1.0.4 with Oracle Database Plug-in 12.1.0.7
Monitored database and listener: 10.2.0.4
Our EM12c monitors 12.1,11.2 and 10.2 databases and listeners. All monitored targets are up and running.
I updated Oracle Database Plug-in from 12.1.0.6 to 12.1.0.7 and now the only 10g listener that I have shows as down.
The listener on the server is up and running.
The monitoring configuration is right.
I removed this target and re-added it, but it came back as down.
It's a little disconcerting to have a listener show as down since it's a production box, but nothing I do corrects the problem.
Any insights or suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Sherrie,
In most cases we have this issue due to monitoring configuration , I know you mentioned that you have checked on it but still I would recommend to just re-confirm on below steps
1. Go to
    EM Console -> Targets -> Listener -> Listener Home page -> Target Setup -> Monitoring Configuration
2. Get the details
      Listener Name
      Listener.ora Directory
      Machine Name
      Oracle Home
      TCP Port Numbe
3. Go to the server where this listener is running
   Check to see if the listener is up
       ps -ef | grep tns
4. Next run
       $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status
   From this outpuy verify details in (1)
      Listener Name   <======= Alias
      Listener.ora Directory <=== Listener Parameter File ie the directory
      Machine Name <======= HOST=
      Oracle Home<========== This is where tnslsnr is started from
      TCP Port Number <====== PORT=
5. Makes sure that all the details matches in (4) and (2)
If above is fine then I would recommend to go through the troubleshooting steps as per below doc , they are valid for listener status down too and should give a further insight on the root cause of the issue
Troubleshooting the 'Pending' status for a Listener Target in Enterprise Manager 12c Cloud Control (Doc ID 1546576.1)

Procedure not showing up when I create 'Form on a procedure'

I'm building an application based on an Oracle guide for 'Adventure Travel', the guide says to create this procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE
add_country_for_activity(p_activity_num AT_COUNTRY_ACTIVITIES.activity_num%TYPE,p_country_id AT_COUNTRY_ACTIVITIES.country_id%TYPE)
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO AT_COUNTRY_ACTIVITIES (country_id,activity_num) VALUES (p_country_id,p_activity_num);
END;
I've added that procedure and I can see it in the object browser, but when I try to create a new 'form on a procedure', the procedure doesn't show up. Also, when I look at the procedure in the object browser, under 'errors' it says "Line: 6 Position: 3 PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: ; current delete exists prior "
Although I am assured that the code has the correct syntax, I've also tried adding the / character after END; but to no avail. Any help would be most appreciated

How do I check dba_objects and user_objects? Sorry I'm pretty new to this. I created the AT_ACTIVITIES table, and I am the one using the application in my own schema. I tried using
GRANT EXECUTE ON add_country_for_activity to apex_public_user;
but I'm still having the same problem

OS Authentication problems during external procedure calls

Hi,
Here's our setup: Oracle 9i on Windows OS
1. Created an OS ID = TESTID on domain = MYDOMAIN
MYDOMAIN\TESTID
2. Granted the necessary OS rights on MYDOMAIN\TESTID and assigned it to start/stop the external procedure listener service. The ID has "deny logon locally" policy applied to it on Windows OS.
3. Restarted the external procedure listener service so that the changes would take effect.
4. Created an ID on the Oracle DB as OPS$MYDOMAIN\TESTID (identified externally)
5. Assigned the necessary DB privs to the ID (including create session)
6. Set the registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0\OSAUTH_PREFIX_DOMAIN = TRUE
7. On one of our application modules (oracle forms) we triggered an external procedure call and it failed with:
ORA-01017: invalid username\password
We used to call the same external procedure before and we never had problems with it. The setup before was that the IDs are on the local server. We had to move the server to MYDOMAIN which is why we did the steps listed above.
I don't have a clue why the external procedure calls keeps on failing with the new setup. Need your advise on this.
Below are some of our DB init parms:
remote_login_password_file = EXCLUSIVE
remote_os_authent = FALSE
remote_os_roles = FALSE
os_authent_prefix = OPS$
thanks.

I don't remember noticing an option to set how many passes it will go through. There were two options - you can either write zeros to the drive or do the 8-way random write, where it writes random data across the drive in a random pattern 8 times.
If there is an amount of passes you can set with the zeros, I did whatever the default one is.
It's 4:13 now. If it hasn't moved by 5, should I shut down and try again when I return to work tomorrow?

Error calling external procedure on remote server

Hello
I have written an external procedure that runs correctly when it is on the same machine as the database from which I call it. (Windows XP Professional/Oracle 9.2)
When I try to call the procedure from a database on another machine (also Windows XP Professiona l/ Oracle 9.2) I get ORA - 28756 "lost RPC connection to external procedure agent" or ORA - 28758 "protocol error during callback from an external procedure". Using filemon I can see that the DLL is never searched for or called. The problem seems to lie in the communication between the two machines. When I observe network traffic the machines communicate on port 1521 (the listener) and then switch to the port that the listener returns. Shortly after that the connection is terminated with the above error reported in the PL/SQL routine.
The Oracle Administrator's Guide (9.2) states that "the agent must reside on the same computer as the application making the external procedure call." However there are several entries on the internet that show how to do what I am want to accomplish - I suspect I am making some small mistake.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is the listener on the machine with the DLL.

Stop External HD from Spinning Down?

Is it possible to stop an external HD from spinning down when connected to a MBPro? It seems that the setting in the energy saver control panel have no effect on external drives. I'm using my laptop (MBPro 2.33Ghz) for music production and don't want my external drive to spin down while I'm working.
Is there any way to keep it spinning?

This may be a "feature" built into the firmware of your external drive. If so it will not be affected by your Energy Saver settings. I recently had to advise someone with a "Western Digital MyBook" spinning down to ask the manufacturer for help, but the outcome was that the only solution was the purchase of an uncrippled drive. Being in the firmware, the "feature" could not be erased or altered.
"Is it possible to stop…"
Yes, but only in what I would consider an unacceptable manner, e.g. by having a small script that constantly accesses the drive, but I would suggest that a) it should not be needed, and b) it would be highly likely to interfere with other things you were doing.
So, as a start, you should a) read any docs that came with that drive, and b) go to the relevant site and see what you can find out.
I hope that none of this applies to you, but I just thought you ought to be aware of the possibility.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again? If still no change, a restore "as new iphone" would be the next step. In that case don't use your backup to get your data back, it may contain damaged files causing your problem.

I recently updated my Mid 2007 iMac with the latest OS 10.8.5 now my external hard drives will not show up. They show up when I boot them up on a machine running and earlier OS. Is there a fix for this?

I recently updated my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac with the latest OS 10.8.5 now my external hard drives will not show up. They show up when I boot them up on a machine running and earlier OS. Is there a fix for this?

Can you see them in Disk Utility?
If so, can you select and Mount them?
If not, disconnect them, reset the iMac's SMC and then reconnect them.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
If you still can not see them, connect them back up to the iMac running the older OS, open Disk Utility and look to see how they are partitioned and formatted.

My External Hard drive wont show up when plugged in

I have an external 500GB LaCie hard drive connected to my 13inch mac book 09. It is used to house all of my itunes library (11,000 songs+), a bunch of pictures and a few movies and random other things. It was working fine until I came home from work one day and an error message was on my computer saying that I had ejected a disk without properly disconnecting it (meaning my hard drive). My HD was still plugged into my computer and I never touched it. I tried everything from unplugging, rebooting, etc, and it still wont show up when I connect it to my computer. A day earlier I had my itunes playing for 8 hours while I was at work and I had been noticing over the past few days that my power supply was unusually loud but didn't think anything of it until this all happened! I would appreciate any advice as I would like to keep listening to all my music. Please help!

Ok in disk utility it says Format : MS-DOS (FAT32)
Sorry Im not sure what you mean by can it connect via firewire? Sorry I'm a bit useless with technology haha

Crystal Report not showing fields when connected to a stored procedure

I have a Stored Procedure that returns results when run in SQL Server, but when I add this to a Crystal Report it doesn't show any fields in the Field Explorer. But if I try any other SP, it works fine and I can see its fields.
As you can see in the picture below, I am unable to expand the fields in the report while creating the report using standard report procedure too.
I tried different ways, but nothing worked for me here. Please help me here.
(FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, SQL Server 2008R2)

Hi Jamie,
I just found out the reason for this issue.
I wrote the stored procedure using the fields in the Datamart but the fields in the datamart in backend are connected to a different database which doesn't have SQL Server Authentication (for the Credentials) and that's the reason I was getting this issue.
Once my BI team granted the permission, for that fields connecting to the backend database, I was able to see all fields in the Crystal Report.
