Getting OPMN to start OID

Hey all,
I went through the configuration of setting up OID with a replicated OID on another server (for 10gAS) and it worrks great.
What I cant get working is the use of OMPNCTL to start all the oid process (OIDMON, OIDLDAPD, and OIDREPLD).
I followed the notes on metalink which indicate the edit required in the opmn.xml file. The file verifies but does nothing with the OID services when I restart.
For example:
(after editing the file)
>OPMNCTL STOPALL
>OPMNCTL START
>OPMNCTL RELOAD
>OPMNCTL STARTALL
It works fine but the processes to not start. I am using Windows 2000 and Oracle 10gAS.
Any ideas?
Jason

Hi,
Almost certainly the password for ODS, the DB user for the OID schema. Please see Note 1064334.1 for more details (and a solution) for this message.

Colin

    I have found out the problem and solution for this OPMN error, its actually our Fusion team work
    the error is caused by Port conflicts we believe
    so by using these set of commands of opmnctl
    usage: opmnctl [verbose] [<scope>] <command> [<options>]
    verbose: print detailed execution message if available
    Permitted <scope>/<command>/<options> combinations are:
    scope command options
    start - Start opmn
    startall - Start opmn & all managed processe
    stopall - Stop opmn & all managed processe
    shutdown - Shutdown opmn & all managed proce
    [<scope>] startproc [<attr>=<val> ..] - Start opmn managed processes
    [<scope>] restartproc [<attr>=<val> ..] - Restart opmn managed processes
    [<scope>] stopproc [<attr>=<val> ..] - Stop opmn managed processes
    [<scope>] reload - Trigger opmn to reread opmn.xml

    we have shutdown the opmn box and restarted all of its process
    it did not happen in the first time itself i have to repeat this for a several times then the SOA suite is running normally
    if any one faces this issue i can help

    Tried cleaning up ods_process table in the backend database. Also tried starting oid with different instance nos. Gives the same error every time.
    Can you please tell me if i am missing any thing.

    Sometimes 'oidmon start' starts of ldap deamon (ldapd). Try the following:
    -> Stop all processes (oidldapd, oidmon).
    -> Do 'oidctl connect=<sid_name> status'
    -> Ensure all processes are down.
    -> Do 'oidmon start'
    -> Do 'oidctl connect=<sid_name> status'
    -> Check if the 'oidldapd' starts off successfully.
    -> In case it hasn't started, start the oidldapd using the oidctl.
    And, why is 'oidldapd' being tried to start with instance=2 with configset=0?
    If you want to start another oidldap deamon, make another configset.

  • Not able to start OID 11g

    Hi Everyone,
    All of a sudden I am not able to start ODS instance that includes (OID and OVD). I can see OVD process is up but not OID. DB and listeners are up and running.
    Any quick thoughts ?
    Thanks

    Great!!
    Yes, that is the issue. Even though message says it is about to expire, it can not start OID. The reason is, when oidmon process tries to establish a connection to databased it expects the response "success" status. For oidmon process ,any message other than "success" is failure.
    Try below:
    1. Stop all components with opmnctl.
    2. Reset OID schema passwords and make their passwords never to expire.
    3. Start all opmn compnents.
    Thanks

    Can any once please tell me where I am doing wrong. This was working fine before. I shut down for taking backup and after that OID is not coming up.

    Very often the OID does not start because in the ods.ods_processes table entries exist. Remove these and retry.

  • Using opmn to start/stop hub repo and adapters

    Also posted as a thread on the OracleAS General forum, I'm hoping the duplication will cover both areas of expertise. Apologies if I offend.
    "Configuring custom process with OracleAS 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) "
    A Metalink note kindly informed me that I could use OPMN to start and stop Interconnect hub and adapter processes. The hyperlink sent me to the OPMN documentation and that's where the fun started!
    So far I have only tried to add the repository as an ias-component and this is how the section of the opmn.xml file looks.
    <ias-component id="HUBDEV3" status="enabled" id-matching="true">
    <process-type id="HUBDEV3-repository" module-id="CUSTOM">

    This parses okay and when I call opmnctl status I get the following:

    HUBDEV3 | HUBDEV3-repository | N/A | Down
    I tried opmnctl startproc ias-component=HUBDEV3 & opmnctl startproc process-type=HUBDEV3-repository but both retun the following message:
    opmn id=crm-drtest:6200
    no enabled components for this request
    Can anyone advice on where and why I'm going wrong?
    Sometimes you wish you'd never seen the hint in the first place!!

    Well, I now have a working solution.

    Once I added the working-dir attribute to the process-type tag, things began to fall into place. working-dir is set to the directory location of the repository start script and I repeated the same for the crmapps adapter. My biggest clue came when I added the crmapps adapter to the opmn.xml and when I tried to start it, the log file indicated that it couldn't find the adapter.ini file. The rest came naturally after that breakthrough.
    It needs a bit of rejigging but so far, results are good.

  • On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?, on my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?

    On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on?  Thank you.  Ed

    Welcome to the Apple family!!!! 
    How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
    Press Control-Option and F5.   The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over.  This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
    How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
    How to read a website with VoiceOver
    Step 1:  Go to the Website
    A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L.  This will jump you up to the address bar.  Start typing where you want to go.  i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
    Step 2:  Working with Webpage
    VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website.  You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'. 
    If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it.  If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
    Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website.  This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
    Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'.  You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
    If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I 
    Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
    Step 3.  Reading from Top to Bottom
    Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title. 
    After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on. 
    Note:  If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too. 
    Tip:  You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'.  The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads  The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R.  You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'. 
    I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
    You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar.  To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M. 
    Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac.  This will open up another window.  Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'.  If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

    The  'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H.  (hit H twice)  is my best friend.  It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command.  Example:  You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command.   Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph.  It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph.  I believe there are three.   
    As from the Trackpad Commands, I've copied and pasted below from Appendix A: Commands and Gestures
    VoiceOver standard gestures
    If you’re using a Multi-Touch trackpad, you can use VoiceOver gestures. VoiceOver provides a set of standard gestures for navigating and interacting with items on the screen. You can’t modify this set of gestures.
    NOTE:Gestures that don’t mention a specific number of fingers are single-finger gestures.
    General
    Enable the Trackpad Commander and VoiceOver gestures
    VO-Two-finger rotate clockwise
    Disable the Trackpad Commander and VoiceOver gestures
    VO-Two-finger rotate counterclockwise
    Turn the screen curtain on or off
    Three-finger triple-tap
    Mute or unmute VoiceOver
    Three-finger double-tap
    Navigation
    Force the VoiceOver cursor into a horizontal or vertical line when you drag a finger across the trackpad
    Hold down the Shift key and drag a finger horizontally or vertically
    Move the VoiceOver cursor to the next item
    Flick right
    Move the VoiceOver cursor to the previous item
    Flick left
    Move content or the scroll bar (depending on the Trackpad Commander setting)
    Three-finger flick in any direction
    Go to the Dock
    This gesture moves the VoiceOver cursor to the Dock wherever it’s positioned on the screen
    Two-finger double-tap near the bottom of the trackpad
    Go to the menu bar
    Two-finger double-tap near the top of the trackpad

  • I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

    I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

    try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
    most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

  • How to get a fresh start to successfully install creative cloud for mac?

    I start with install creative cloud for download trials, however, since I'm in China, the creative cloud somehow automatically defaults and installs the software in Chinese version(for example, there is no way that I can choose the language of premiere, then it already been installed in my mac system in Chinese). I thought that perhaps it's because my account is set in China, then I try to uninstall all the trials, and try to delete creative cloud from my mac ios platform, but because I'm not familiar with the IOS platform, I think I didn't delete the creative cloud properly, after that, even I successfully install the English version of PRE, the creative cloud couldn't work. And I couldn't open AE v12.0 with mac IOS v10.9.4 unless upgrade AE to v12.0.1, and since the creative cloud wouldn't work, the adobe application manager is also not working. When I try to open application manager it shows this(even though the creative cloud is already installed):
    And I download creative cloud again from the URL, try to install, after that, creative cloud is running, but it shows still damaged.
    So all in all, how could I fix this crisis circle?
    How could my IOS system get a fresh start to install the creative cloud, it's there some files that I suppose to delete or what? Please try to give me a clear instruction with this, there are similar problems with people around me as well, I want to help them, too.
    And also what is the difference between adobe application manager and creative cloud?
    Look forward to your reply, thanks.

  • Cannot install Windows 7 Pro; gets stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

    I have read dozens of posts on this topic but none has helped yet.
    My system has Windows 8 with UEFI. I want to install Windows 7 Pro on another partition. I have turned off Secure Boot in the UEFI/BIOS. When I try to install Windows 7 Pro from a DVD it shows "windows is loading files" and then gets stuck on "Starting Windows"
    for ever. This happens even when no USB peripherals are attached.
    I have already wasted many days on this. I hope someone can help.
    Thanks!

    Hi friends of the internet
    I have been reading several forums regarding the issue of installing windows 7 (64 bit) to a computer that have had windows 8 installed previously or just a GPT formatted disk.
    My Case:
    Windows version installed: Windows 7 Professional N with Service Pack 1 (x64) or Windows 7 Professional (x64)
    Computer used: Samsung laptop
    Model Code: NP53U4C-A02SE
    See the specks here:
    http://www.samsung.com/dk/consumer/computer-peripherals/notebook/notebook/NP535U4C-A02SE-spec
    Create a USB install disk that not freezes at ”starting windows” screen:
    First I followed this great guide (Thanks Daniel):
    http://
    hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
    STOP AFTER STEP 13!
    1. Open a command line in administrator mode
    2. run DISKPART
    3. type LIST DISK
    4. Look for the disk number that represents your USB drive
    5. type SELECT DISK # where # represents the number of your USB drive. Get this right or you will wipe a different drive out.
    6. type CLEAN
    7. type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
    8. type SELECT PARTITION 1
    9. type ACTIVE
    10. type FORMAT fs=fat32 quick
    11. type assign
    12. The drive should now be formatted and marked as active and fat32. Do not format the drive as NTFS or you will only be able to boot into the installer in BIOS mode.
    13. Now you will need to copy the contents of the windows 7 install dvd to the USB with a regular copy paste from windows explorer.
    Here comes a very weird hack... I do not know why it works, but I think it is all about flash drive data structure. I did these steps on a win 7 prof. computer.
    (Let’s assume it’s drive E:)
    Make a copy of your e:\efi\microsoft folder to e.g. your desktop.
    Delete the e:\efi folder
    Copy the \efi folder from a windows 8 installation disk (I used Windows 8 (x64) Professional) to the e:\efi folder. Sorry I cannot provide this for you.
    Here comes the weird part. Then delete e:\efi\microsoft you just copied from the win 8 installation disk.
    Copy the \microsoft folder form the desktop to e:\efi\microsoft
    Resume the guide from step 18.:
    http://
    hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
    18. Insert the USB in the machine and turn it on and boot into the UEFI/BIOS loader and check for boot options. On the ASUS Zenbook it detected two boot options on the USB drive. One was UEFI and one was regular BIOS. I made the
    UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
    My bios setup was:
    Secure Boot = Disable
    OS Mode Selection = CSM and UEFI OS
    Boot Device Priority = I made the UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
    The installation should start normal.
    E.g. See this guide:
    www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/186875-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-7-a.html
    What I did was:
    Select custom installation (Advanced).
    Click Drive options (Advanced).
    Delete all partitions (this might not be needed). When I did not delete all partitions I was asked every time after the install, during start up by the windows boot manager to select ether win 8 or win 7.
    Click new (DO NOT make Changes in the size of the disk), apply, see NOTE!
    Edit the Primary partition as you want it e.g. divide it to more partitions.
    Select the one you will install windows on and do a normal install.
    I do not make changes in the Bios after install. The Boot priority is automatic set to “Windows boot manager”. If I change the boot mode back to OS Mode Selection = UEFI OS, the computer will freeze at the “starting windows” screen again.
    All this worked for me, good luck. There might be more to it, but this is a start.
    By the way, the start up time for a MBT install was 37 s. And for the GPT it was 49 s.
    Remember if we stand on each other’s shoulders we will reach higher
    J.
    NOTE: Here the installation program should create three partitions automatically!
    Partition 1 - System - The EFI System partition that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are needed to boot the system, such as drivers.
    Partition 2 - MSR - The Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partition that reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software.
    Partition 3 - Primary - Where Windows is to be installed to.
    If this isn’t the cast you are not installing in UEIF mode. To check for this (thanks again Daniel):
    If you need to find out if you have booted into BIOS mode or UEFI mode when the installer starts you can press SHIFT+F10 when the welcome installer shows up to open a cmd prompt. from here you will likely be at X:\Sources. Type cd .. to
    go back a dir and move into \Windows\Panther\
    Then type notepad setupact.log
    Within this file do a ctrl+f and search for
        Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment:
    It should either say BIOS or UEFI.
    To check if your disk is in the GPT format.
    Open the command prompt.
    Type: DISKPART
    Type: List Disk
    See for the star (*) in the GPT column
