Grid Control and Ora-12557 error

Hello, I'm trying to install the Oracle DataGuard in my work. I have two server with these features:
2 Processors Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz
4 GB Ram
6 SATA hdd 250GB (Raid 5)
for each server. Actually, only one server have the database production, and the another server I have for testing purpose. I must be have a high availability system. I want to build an Oracle RAC system, but I think that I need an external storage (something like SAN, or fibre channel or iSCSI). Well, I assumed that I don't create a Oracle RAC because I do not have the hardware requirements. Then, I thougth use Oracle DataGuard. For that, I have one server in one building and another server in another building like a standby database. If a server fail, then I use the another.
I decided to create Oracle DataGuard configuration. I installed windows 2003 server standard edition in my server for test purpose, and then I installed the Oracle Database 10 g with my database. After I installed the Oracle Grid Control with a new database for repository. Well, when the installation of Oracle Grid Control was completed, I didn´t connect to my database because sqlplus show me an error (Ora-12557). Before I install the Oracle Grid Control I can connect perfectly with my database, but after that I can not connect any time.
Anyone can help me, please????

After formatting (clean server)
1. Install grid control Repository and Management Server
2. Patch it to the latest version (10.2.0.3)
3. Install agent on your other server ,see that you should be able to communicate, check for propert username/password settings.
4. Install your first database , lets say you install it on the same machine with grid
Check for ports/etc and see its in a working order
5. From Grid control ,create your standby on another machine , grid required no interfearance from user once some pre-requisits (you should be able to ping/ftp) on the host.
there are number of possibilites for meeting your requirements, keep refering installation guide where possible.

ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adapter Error and ORA-12557 Error

Hello ,
I have installed Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database on my Windows 7 ( Home Premium) PC which is also 64 bit. I installed it because I am trying to setup Informatica. Later, I learnt that informatica is 32 bit and can not communicate to Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database. So after digging through solutions, someone mentioned that I need to install Oracle 11g client 32bit.
I have installed 11g client software successfully now. Here is problem though :
When I launch SQL-Plus from 11g database , it works fine. However I launch SQL-Plus from 32bit client it gives me error as :
Ora-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
So I have been trying to resolve this error. I saw that this question has been posted many many times and have tried many thing as listed below :
1. copy tnsnames.ora from database ( dbhome_1) to client installation ( client_1 ) under ..\network\admin\ --- Didn't work.
2. Set $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID environment variable.
Here is interesting fact - If I set $ORACLE_HOME to database path and not client path error changes to :
ORA-12557 TNS: Protocol adapter not loadable.
If I keep $ORACLE_HOME as client path then I get same error as earlier ORA-12560.
3. I have also tried changing $PATH variable. I did set to path containing only database installation, only client installation, both database and client installation with database installation appearing first
But all of these haven't worked.
Can anyone please suggest what I am missing and any further things I could try ?
Thank you in advance !

Thank you in advance !unfortunately, we need to know exactly how you tried to connect with sqlplus when it "worked" and when it "didn't work". The key to the reported error messages is highly dependent on the environment settings AND the specification of the connect string. A copy and paste of the entire command line session would be most helpful.
But again, running on any 'home' edition of windows is not supported.

Figures in Grid Control and Enterprise Manager Console don't match!

Hi,
I have just installed Oracle 10g Grid Control and it is managing an existing database on another server. It appears to gather information as expected in most areas (I can look at the alert log through grid control and it is up to date to the nearest 60 seconds as I expect) but today I looked at how full my undo tablespace is and the figures seemed completely wrong. When looking through grid control it showed me that Undo was 20% full. When I looked in the old java console, it showed it was 30% full!
Is there any reason why figures in Grid Control would not be accurate or up to date? I have no error messages and it seems to be gathering data fine.
Is it more likely the old java console is not accurate? (I've always found it accurate in the past I think!).
These are Solaris Sparc servers, Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control monitoring an Oracle 10.2.0.3 database on a remote server via management agent.
Thanks,
Paula

And this morning my old console says 21%, and the new Grid Control says 14%. So they both seem to be gathering the info and putting it out but they have completely different opinions on how much space is used. I think that makes the whole thing fairly useless. Not so glad I spent an age trying to get grid control set up now!!!
Any thoughts much appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Paula

Oracle 10.2.0.3 Grid Control and ReNew the IP Address

Hello
I have installed Grid Control and added few hosts and was working fine. But I have changed the IP address of Grid Server host. I mean I have been given new IP address for Grid Control host.
I have changes the ip address in /etc/hosts and reboot the server. But Grid Control Console page is not coming up on IE. Help Please...
Regards
Sindhi

It has been sorted out. As Grid Control use FQDN and it do not use IP address. Just I changes the IP address and FQDN was same. I was forgot to change IP address from Terminal Server where I was accessing Grid Control Console using IE. Thanks for you both to response my query.

Install Grid Control and use repository within a DataGuard configuration

Hello,
I need some information if anyone has experience in the following
We have severel database running in DataGuard standby configuration.
I want to install OMS 11.1 and use the repository in a primary and standby configuration.
My configuration will look like this:
host 1     Primary Repository database
     OMS service 1
host 2     Standby Repository database
     OMS service 2
During normal operation i want to have 2 OMS services running.
Whenever a failover is necessary, i want to active my standby database and run OMS service 2.
Can this be a working configuration?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Ben

Hi.
As far as I know, the dbconsole installed with the Oracle database applies for only one database on one server. The information accessed by the dbconsole relies within the sysman schema inside the actual database. For a database environment with 10 databases, it is possible to install grid control and manage all these databases despite version and OS. And I think that grid is a good solution to such an environment.
The grid installation itself is a application server installation, and I suggest if possible that you separate the rdbms server and the server that contains the grid control.
The repository database the grid control uses can either be installed in the 10g environment or in the grid control environment (server). You can place the repository in a new database in a separate ORACLE_HOME from the actual grid control application server.
Good luck.

Installing Grid Control and not using ASM

Is it possible to install Grid Control and not be using ASM? We are on the brink of beginning our install (Peoplesoft) and may not use ASM. It seems to me from documentation that I'm reviewing that installing GC assumes you will be using ASM.
Any info would be appreciated.

Hi,
the Grid Control Repository database does not require ASM. It works perfectly fine with datafiles on a normal filesystem.
Best regards,
Robert

Grid Control and CEP

Hi,
We are building for one of our clients a solution that is comprized from several products. One of them is CEP. For all theother products we can use Grid Control to "watch" the status and "health" of the products but we could not find any reference to CEP.
We know that we can get the statistics on the EPNs using Visualizer or JMX but we prefer to have it all in one place. Is it possible to use Grid Control?
Is there any information regarding Grid Control and CEP?
Thanks,
Shimon

Hello,
There is currently no support for CEP in Grid Control.

GRID Control and management hostname

With a HA deployment you have to set :
emd.properties:#AgentListenOnAllNICs=FALSE
This is ok for me but the servers have 3 differents IP adresses (3 differents hostname), one is foucuss for management tasks and this is not the name registered by the Agent.
Do you know if it is possible to run host scripts (external jobs) with Grid Control and to specify the hostname where these jobs have to run by default the jobs will run on the hostname registered by the Agent.

Hello,
There is currently no support for CEP in Grid Control.

When to install Grid Control and when to just use 10g built in?

1. is Grid Control really the only way to Enterprise Manage multiple databases? (if not, how do i switch from different databases on the 10g built in EM)
2. I only have about 10 databases, is Grid Control overboard?
3. Is it a bad or good idea to install GC on the 10g server?
thanks,

Hi, Ben
Our OWM_VERSION is 10.2.0.4.3.
I tried disable and enable constraint MCM_MESSAGE_PK. But didn't fix our issue.
Split where clause from " id in (...) " syntax to " id = ... " syntax will reduce performance heavily. And I did some test that " id in (...) " syntax works well in our dev env.
I opened our trace file and get below plsql block. When I perform it get same error with our original codes. Please notice the part of "forall wm_indx in WM_rowids.first .. WM_rowids.last execute immediate 'begin insert into T2.MCM_MESSAGE_lt ... ...", error occurred here. But if I change the "forall" syntax to normal " for ... loop" syntax then no error here. Can you give me some advice or suggestion?

Ora - 01110 and ora 01157 error

Hi,
I am using linux 9i and solaris 5.8 .while i am connecting to the database it shows the ora - 01110 and ora 01157 error.i moved the temp datafile to some location after that only i receiced that error.then i moved the temp file to the particular location.after that what i can to do to resolve the error.
plz in detail sql query.
Thanks
gobi.

Can you detail how you are moving the file? Are you using one of the following methods:
With the database down
move/rename the file with OS commands
mount the database and issue the following
alter database rename file '<original path and file name>' to '<new path and file name>';
Open the database
or
With the database open take the tablespace the contains the files to be moved/rename offline.
move/rename the files with OS commands.
alter tablespace <tablespace name> rename datafile '<original path and file name>' to '<new path and file name>';
Bring the tablespace back online.

Installing Grid Control and managing DBs on desktop

I want to install Grid Control, and manage DB on my own testing environment on desktops...I tried one time to install Grid Control on my desktop i become very slow. Now i am thinking to buy new Desktop dedicated for Grid Control only and see how it goes...any suggestions?
2nd how i can access my DB on the other desktop? Like i should install agents on that...and how to configure....

When teaching this class I typically have 6 pairs of students sharing a single P4 3Ghz with 4Gb of RAM gridserver. (combined 10.1.0.4 emrep with single OMS on RH 3 AS)
THis is more than enough for the 150 or so targets that we configure during class
The agents are deployed in any of several methods.(the install DVD is probabally the easiest for 1's and 2's) If you are monitoring a db expect to use about 150Mb of RAM for the agent. After setting up the agent ensure that your computer has local security policy configured so that "Login as Batch" is enabled for the user account that will be used for authentication to the desktop. (this also means that you need to have a windows password configured for that account as well).
The database configuration is semi-automatic once you have the agent installed on the desktop (it's called discovery)

ORA-01157 and ORA-01110 errors

Dear all,
I was getting "ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile" error while starting the database
This had happened during the investigation of the IMPORT_ABAP phase failure, during our system copy (Import)
I found out in alert_SID.log that control file was missing in 3 locations /oracle/SID/origlogA, /oracle/SID/origlogB and /oracle/SID/sapdata1
So I copied the control file from /oracle/GRD/saparch/cntrl to the above 3 locations. Now I am able to mount the database but not able to open it.
Getting the below mentioned error
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 1 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oracle/SRD/sapdata1/system_1/system.data1'
Any suggestions?

The control file from /oracle/SRD/saparch/cntrl was an old file so deleted it from the 3 locations as mentioned earlier
Now there is no control file in origlogA, origlobB and sadata1
Now I am getting the below mentioned error
ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more in
any suggestions?

You need to unzip all files into a same directory. Don't worry about folders. Unzip tool will extract the files into the correct folders (will not overwrite the content of the folder).

ITANIUM Grid Control and Oracle 10.2.0.3 update

QA and PROD databases were installed as 10.2.0.1 on Itanium servers.
QA was taken to 10.2.0.3 two weeks ago.
Grid Control AGENT was applied to QA early last week.
QA database continues to perform
PROD was not taken to 10.2.0.3
Grid Control AGENT was applied to PROD early last week.
PROD continued to perform.
THIS MORNING applying 10.2.0.3 upgrade to PROD: Installation set passed Deinstall and Install then at LINKING returned "Error in invoking target 'client_sharedlib" of makefile '/oracle/CDWP/orahome/nedtwork/lib/ins_net_client.mk" See '/home...log'. Examining the log led to libclntsh.so.10.1 WITH ZERO FILESIZE LENGTH. Further testing had repeated results.
THIS THREAD WILL BE PLACED IN ENTERPRISE MANAGER AND METALINK.
It appears the ITANIUM GRID CONTROL release was not well QC'd. I am FORCED to recover the PROD database from backup.
ANYONE with any insight on how to install 10.2.0.3 AFTER Grid Control please respond.
