Getting ORA-01031 while connecting to target database

I have created RMAN catalog. While connecting to target database i am getting ORA-01031: insufficient privileges. What could be the reason. I have added entry of both the databases in listner.ora as well as tnsnames.ora, but still facing the same problem. Please help

Getting ORA-01031 while connect target

Hi,
I'm trying to perform a rman duplictate.
I've created the orapwd file and setted the remote_login_passwordfile parameter as "EXCLUSIVE". I also have configured the connection to the target database on the tnsnames.ora file

ORA-01031 WHEN CONNECTING TO AUXILIARY DATABASE

Hi
i am currently trying to to create a standby database using RMAN using the ORACLE RMAN Backup and recovery book.
I get the ORA-01031 when i connect to the auxiliary database.
i do the following:
RMAN> connect target sys/password@primary
connected to target
RMAN > connect auxiliary sys/password@aux1
ORA-01031.............insufficient privileges
obviously the database aux1 hasnt been created yet but i have configured the tns and listener and both work fine, also created a password file and created a pfile from the spfile in the primary database as instructed by the book. I also started the aux1 database in nomount mode as well.
does any one have any ideas where i maybe going wrong?
thanks

conn sys/pwd@aux1 as sysdba ,what happens to this
in sqlplus
add an entry to your TNSNAMES.ora
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
We dont need this entry this is for OS authenicarion sorry
then try again
Version and OS?

Throwing error ORA- 01031 while connecting as sys, but not with system

Hi
we are having oracle 10g on one of the server. When I try to connect sqlplus "/as sysdba"..its throwing error
ORA- 01031: Insufficient privelege.
But when I tried login with sqlplus system@dbname its getting connected properly. whats the reason behind this? It was
working fine till yesterday.
Thanks
Shiyas M

The reason for this can partly be seen in your profile,
you have asked 17 questions, and 17 of them have been unresolved.
This isn't very likely,
so likely you are too lazy to label a question as answered.
Your laziness is also indicated by this question, which is a FAQ, and FAQs are most often asked, by people who
- don't read documentation
- don't use online resources
- don't search this forum
prior to asking their FAQ.
Your equation of SYS as SYSDBA and the SYSTEM account is also incorrect, as SYSTEM doesn't have SYSDBA privileges.
The ORA-1031 simply means someone somehow disabled OS authentication.
Now it is up to you to find out why.
Either by using online resources, or by reading documentation, and researching your own database.
Not by asking a FAQ and never marking any answer as correct.

Getting ORA-01031 when attempting to Create Database

I am attempting to issue a CREATE DATABASE statement via JDBC but I am getting a "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" error. I am logged in as an administrator and I have no trouble creating tables. I am also receiving the same error when attempting this from SQLPlus. I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Pino

Pino,
I haven't verified this, but only the SYS user can create a DATABASE in Oracle, and you also need to use a special login (when going via SQL*Plus) which JDBC cannot handle. Hence your failures both via JDBC and SQL*Plus.
By the way, if you are new to Oracle, but have experience in another database, then the Oracle idea of a DATABASE is probably different than what you're used to. That's probably why you're stumped. If you haven't already done so, I suggest reading the Oracle Database Concepts volume of the Oracle documentation, which is available from:
http://tahiti.oracle.com
Good Luck,
Avi.

Error while connecting to Auxiliary Database

Hi
I am practicing Cloning the database on my Personal Computer. I am following the steps outlined here
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/DuplicateDatabaseUsingRMAN9i.php
But while connecting to Auxiliary database I get this error.
RMAN - 04006 Error from auxiliary database: ORA 12514 TNS: listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
RMAN - 00554 initialization of internal recovery manager package failed...
what is the solution for this?
This is 10g database and my PC has Opensuse 11 OS
I think the problem is in configuring listener. But I am following the instructions given in that page....

You probably skipped this part
Next add the appropriate entries into the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory. Remember to load the new configuration into the listener:
Which is why you are getting the error. The database needs to register itself with the listener. This doesn't happen in nomount mode.
Other than that: there is an option in database control to duplicate a database in 10g. Using that you only need to hit buttons. Why are you using 9i code and policies?

Error while connecting to the database from a JSP Page

Hi,
I am using a simple JSP page which is based on the sample JSP pages from OTN.
When I try to connect to my database using the following code:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
OracleDataSource ds = (OracleDataSource)ic.lookup("jdbc/OTN9iDS");
m_connection = ds.getConnection();
I get the following error:
Naming exception Error while connecting to the database : javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jdbc/OTN9iDS not found in JDBCTest-JDBCTestProject-webapp
Does anybody know wht this is happening?
Any help would be appreciated
FRank

Hi Frank,
Are you using standalone OC4J or 9iAS ? If you are using standalone OC4J then you need to add a proper data source entry in %OC4J_HOME%j2ee\home\config\data-sources.xml file.
If you are using 9iAS the you can log in to the Enterprise Manager console and add the data source entry by using wizard provided by 9iAS.
Ensure the case of the JNDI lookup string, since, it is case sensitive.
Hope this helps.

this is the output which i am getting.......Your target/source/Production database should be in OPEN status & your new/clone/auxiliary instance should be in started/not mounted status.
You have to connect as below
$rman target sys/*****@prod auxiliary /
Then target will be production, you have to export SID of auxiliary and test the TNS connectivity to primary.
