GoldenGate Manager Does not start - Windows 7 64-bit, 11gR1 database

Question

Hi Experts,
I ran into very tricky situation and seeking for clarification and if possible solution for the same, here how it goes: (This is a practice setup for my knowledge and not production)
My environement:
GGSCI (msheth-work) 18> versions
Operating System:
Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
Database:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
I have two database installed called gg1, gg2 on the same local system.
I have two goldengate installation at following location: C:\gg1 , C:\gg2
I was successfully able to start Manager, Extract and Replicate process with out creating windows services for manager.
I read in discussion forum that it is recommneded to have different manager name and create services for them if you have multiple Goldengate installation in the same system. (Oracle Golden Gate installation
Now when I create services using INSTALL ADDSERVICE ADDEVENTS, manager process does not start and manager report log and event viewer from windows shows following error despite of providing correct login details in manager parameter file:
2012-08-23 10:42:31 ERROR OGG-00664 Oracle GoldenGate Manager for Oracle, mgr.prm: OCI Error beginning session (status = 1017-ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied).
GGSCI (hostname) 19> DBLOGIN USERID ggs_owner, PASSWORD ggs_owner
Successfully logged into database.
Manager Parameter File:
PORT 7810
USERID ggs_owner, PASSWORD ggs_owner
PURGEOLDEXTRACTS C:\gg2\dirdat\ex, USECHECKPOINTS
Your explaination and help will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Thanks all of you to responding to my post, although I have bad news that I tried everything but it did not work. let me show you what all I have done:
1) Adding windows services for manager
GGSCI (msheth-work) 4> edit params ./globals
MGRSERVNAME MGR1
GGSCI (msheth-work) 5> exit
c:\gg1>install addservice addevents
Oracle GoldenGate messages installed successfully.
Service 'MGR1' created.
Install program terminated normally.
When I try to start manager service either from GGSCI or from services.msc it gives same login error as mentioned earlier in the post.
2) Using tnsnames while login into database:
GGSCI (msheth-work) 1> edit params mgr
PORT 7809
USERID ggs_owner@gg1, PASSWORD ggs_owner
PURGEOLDEXTRACTS C:\gg1\dirdat\ex, USECHECKPOINTS
Just to make sure username and password is fine I login into database using GGSCI command prompt as follows:
GGSCI (msheth-work) 4> dblogin userid ggs_owner@gg1, password ggs_owner
Successfully logged into database.
Hence, after making sure on all your suggestion I could not get it started and still situation is the same. I would need manager login into database becuase I have implemented DDL replication.
Also, just by removing manager service from windows, same configuration without any change works like a charm. It just that for evey goldengate process a new window is create and it can't be closed. (If closed process dies).
