Help for corrupted oracle database

I look for help of a corrupted oracle database
I have a SAP ECC60 with Oracle 11g.
The system is running but a backup to not work because of corrupted data-files in the database.
2 datafiles are not accessable. (data error (cyclic redundancy check)
It is no valid backup avaible for the database.
One problem is the license of the database. The SAP-Licensed database do not support Blockmedia-Revory ( Enterprise Edition is needed ).
Is it possible to get a backup of the corrupted databse anyway.
Help would be grateful
Best regards

When I downloaded the 2.2 update, somehow it wiped the whole file that lets my sd card communicate with my phone. I have done 6 hard resets and I do not have the ability to see photos or music on my phone, Also there are none of the functions that allow me to use music player. When I choose that app it says no music available and there are no buttons that allow me do anything (menu key gone,etc).All the preloaded pics and music are no longer on phone or on sd card. The file emmc which I think (?) might control these function is empty. Anybody got any help and if so could you walk me through it because customer support & HTC cannot seem to figure it out? I downloaed OI file manager and some of my music shows up and I can see no pics (wiped them all) and I can see the 6 songs I put on phone from my computer but I cannot play them. Suggestions?
Had the same problem with my wife's phone when the Froyo 2.2 came in: fried her sd card. We ended up just buying a new one ... cost me $9 and the headache was over!

Can Jdeveloper Be Used For Non-Oracle Databases

I have been trying to evaluate Jdeveloper 9i and Jbuilder 7 Enterprise for Swing database development. I am particularly interested in the productivity enhancements such as BC4J and Jclient. The underlying database might be Oracle, SapDb (excellent, easy to use, and free), SQLServer, etc.
I evaluated Jbuilder Enterprise tools and it worked flawlessly with SapDb. This emphasized using their DataExpress and DbSwing components which provide many useful capabilities similar to BC4j and Jclient. It also involved using their DBPilot tool which allows browsing similar to that provided via a Jdeveloper connection.
I tried to use Jdeveloper for the same SapDB and it is essentially non-functional. I followed the instructions for using a non-default driver and tried to define a connection. It behaved inconsistently: often saying no suitable driver can be found and yet when you edit the connection and test without making any changes, it works. If you try to establish a BC4J definition, it is very inconsistent and fails to recognize important details as foreign keys. Even if you define a ViewLink manually, it still does not work properly if you attempt to define a Master-Detail Jclient form. As I have stated, all these types of capabilities worked flawlessly in their Jbuilder equivalent. Furthermore, I really like the fact that Jbuilder gives many of BC4Js benefits without needing a BC4J J2EE container.
Has anyone had real success using Jdeveloper's advanced features to develop for non-Oracle databases and if so, how did you get around these types of problems?

Hi,
generally, SCAN can be used for 10g databases and you discovered the first half: for 10g databases you will have to modify the REMOTE_LISTENER entry for each 10g database instance to point to the SCAN listeners (as opposed to pointing to the remote local listeners, which is the default in 10g). You could even have the databases registers themselves with SCAN and the remote listeners, if you wanted to... It's more or less a matter of configuration. But for simplification reasons, I will stick to the case where you have your 10g databases register with the SCAN listeners only.
Now the other half is the client and the client configuration. An 11g Rel. 2 client configured for RAC would have a TNSNAMES entry that has only one address line for the RAC databases. The host entry in this one address line should point to the SCAN (the SCAN name is ideally resolved in DNS). A 10g client configured for RAC would have as many address lines in the TNSNAMES as you have nodes in the cluster.
The 10g client SCAN configuration would then be in the middle so to speak: You would have 3 address lines in your TNSNAMES, in which each host entry would resolve to one SCAN address (I assume you will use the recommended default of 3 SCAN IPs). If you choose, you can have a name resolution for each of your SCAN IPs, but this would not be required. Now, why would you do it this way? Because this configuration will always work and does not make you dependent on certain functionality that your DNS server may or may not offer.
For the remaining questions: SCAN is a DNS entry resolving one name to more than one (typically 3) IP addresses. OID is short for Oracle Internet Directory, which is a complete LDAP server. And you are right that there is no document how to configure 10g clients for SCAN from Oracle yet. However, there is a quite good document on SCAN on otn.oracle.com/rac, but I am sure you are aware of it already.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Markus

Step-by-step approach for "manual" Oracle Database Migration

Hi All,
I'm looking for a step-by-step approach for "manual" Oracle Database Migration. Basically, the minutes followed in a real-time production DB implementation.
I assume the steps may vary for different setups. However any scenario-based docs will be of great help!

The

that comes with your download as far as I know is very detailed.

Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.

Hi to all.
Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
We are using Oracle9iAS.
Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
We managed to run
-ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
-ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
-update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
-commit;
But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
this..
SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
1402 rows updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
We tried to startup the database..it gives us this error..
SQL> startup
ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
So, we tried to shutdown again..
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted
I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?
Best Wishes,
Rushdan Md Saad.

Patchsets could be obtained (only) from http://metalink.oracle.com
You need to have valid CSI for access.
P.S: Sorry Werner, I didn't see you post.

Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?

Hi,
I just read this thread (Pagination Support on pagination support. Is there any way to get pagination with non-Oracle databases? We are using an IBM iSeries / AS/400 DB2 database right now, and we're planning to use some local lightweight database in the near future as well (probably Cloudscape/Derby or "IBM Everyplace database".)
We currently use code like this:
String sql = "SELECT art FROM Artikel art" +
            /* dynamically generated where statement is added here */
            + "ORDER BY art.artikelNummer";
Query q = em.createQuery(sql);
q.setFirstResult(firstResult);
q.setMaxResults(maxResults);If I look in the TopLink logs, I see queries like this:
SELECT ARTNR, ARALT, ARAFJ, ARXII, ARAVJ, ARXIV, ARANJ, AHGCD, ARNVJ, ARCRJ, ARARK, ARFKJ, ARTNK, ARGP1, ASGCD, ARGP2, ARPR1, ARGP3, ARPR2, AREX1, ARPR3, AREX2, ARPR4, AREX3, ARASA, ARINA, ASSCD, ARIA1, ARBAN, ARIN1, ARBAV, ARIA2, ARBAK, ARIN2, ARCES, ARIA3, ARCDT, ARIN3, ARCRE, ARIA4, ARCWK, ARIN4, ARHBH, ARIA5, ARDFA, ARIN5, ARDFG, ARIA6, ARDOS, ARIN6, AREPW, ARINN, ARFOD, ARIAS, ARFOE, ARINS, ARFOF, ARNAB, ARFOI, ARNIB, ARFON, ARNIA, ARFOS, ARNN1, ARFTA, ARNA2, ARVIV, ARNO2, ARGAP, ARNN3, ARGPT, ARNA4, ARGPD, ARNO4, ARGPA, ARNN5, ARGPO, ARNA6, ARHIS, ARNN6, ARISP, ARNIO, ARKHM, ARNNS, MAGCD, AROVJ, MTGCD, ARPL1, ARMXM, ARPL2, MRKCD, ARPL3, ARMVR, ARVKJ, ARMIM, ARV12, ARMDT, ARVVJ, ARMTE, AR#VR, ARMTU, ARZLS, ARMTM, ARIAT, ARMWK, ARAVS, MPCCD, ARNVS, ARBTW, ARFJS, ARXI2, ARG2S, ARXI3, ARE1S, ARXI4, ARE3S, ARXI6, ARIB1, ARXI1, ARIB2, ARXI5, ARIB3, AROPI, ARIB4, ARPRV, ARIB5, SZGCD, ARIB6, ARSPC, ARINO, ARSMF, ARIOS, VEAAN, ARNIS, ARSYN, ARNO1, ARVR1, ARNA3, ARV1S, ARNN4, ARVR2, ARNO5, ARV2S, ARNIN, ARVR3, ARNOS, ARV3S, ARP1S, ARTFA, ARP3S, ARTFG, ARS12, ARUVC, ARZLD, ARUCW, ARAJS, ARBKV, ARCJS, ARVVI, ARG3S, ARVVP, ARINB, VPOCD, ARIO2, VPECD, ARIO4, ARVIH, ARIO6, ARVHG, ARNBS, ARVRW, ARNN2, ARVPR, ARNA5, ARVVR, ARNAS, ARVVS, ARP2S, ARVV1, ARSVV, ARZK1, ARNJS, ARNA1, ARNO3, ARIO1, ARNO6, ARIO5, AROJS, ARE2S, ARVJS, ARIBS, ARIAD, ARIO3, ARG1S FROM ART WHERE ((((ARUVC = 'N') AND (ARHIS = 'N')) AND (ASGCD = 7)) AND (AHGCD = 15)) ORDER BY ARTNR ASC
(Yeah, I know we have too much columns in the table...)
So, no pagination in the query. As you can see, we have a mechanism in place to dynamically generate a where clause. This is because the user can set filters. The problem is, if our user sets a filter that causes the result set to be significantly smaller, the performance is way better than when he sets no filter at all. We suppose this is because the whole result set is sent to TopLink, regardless of the values of firstResult and maxResults.
We are using TopLink Essentials 2.1-10, by the way.

Hi all,
I'm trying to subclass <tt>DatabasePlatform</tt> to add pagination support for the AS/400 DB2 database of my customer. To be fair, it is not going very well so far.
The first problem is, the query Chris found by googling (Re: Pagination support for non-Oracle databases?), does not work for AS/400s version of DB2. In fact, although it is called "DB2", the database on the AS/400 system is a whole other database than the "normal" DB2 database that runs on Windows and *nix. The AS/400 DB2 simply does not have a "ROW_NEXT" function.
Another option would be to use the <b>row_number() over()</b> mehtod. But, as can be read here, this function is only available from version V5R4 of OS/400. And guess what? We're stuck on V5R3 at this client. (We cannot upgrade, because there's an application in use that's written in Delphi and IBM dropped the Delphi binding from V5R4...)
So I pretty much ran out of options. On the mailing list I linked to above, someone mentions the option to make a sort of stored procedure that generates a row count number. An example of how to do this can be found here. I implemented it, and ended up with this code:
package com.myclientsname.persistence;

        int max = 0;
        int firstRow = 0;
        if (statement.getQuery()!=null){
            max = statement.getQuery().getMaxRows();
            firstRow = statement.getQuery().getFirstResult();

            super.printSQLSelectStatement(call, printer,statement);
            return;
        } else {
            statement.setUseUniqueFieldAliases(true);
            ExpressionBuilder builder = new ExpressionBuilder();
            statement.addField(builder.getField("COUNTER() AS CNTR"));
            printer.printString("SELECT * FROM (");
            call.setFields(statement.printSQL(printer));
            printer.printString(") AS R WHERE R.CNTR >= ");
            printer.printParameter(DatabaseCall.FIRSTRESULT_FIELD);
            if ( max > 0 ){
                // Use of binding parameters is not allowed here, so use
                // String concatenation instead...
                printer.printString(" FETCH FIRST " + max + " ROWS ONLY");

            //Without a connection we are unable to determine what caused the error so return false.
            //The only case where connection will be null should be External Connection Pooling so
            //returning false is ok as there is no connection management requirement
                //If there is no ping sql then we can not perform the ping.
            return false;
        PreparedStatement statement = null;
        try{
            sessionForProfile.startOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
            if (sessionForProfile.shouldLog(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL)) {// Avoid printing if no logging required.
                 sessionForProfile.log(SessionLog.FINE, SessionLog.SQL, getPingSQL(), (Object[])null, null, false);
            statement = connection.prepareStatement(getPingSQL());
            ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery();
            result.close();
            statement.close();
        }catch (SQLException ex){
            try{
                // Had to add this check because of NullPointerExceptions
                // (maybe a bug?)
                if(statement != null){
                    //try to close statement again in case the query or result.close() caused an exception.
                    statement.close();
            } catch (SQLException exception2) {
                //ignore;
            return true;
        }finally{
            sessionForProfile.endOperationProfile(SessionProfiler.ConnectionPing);
        return false;
}(As you can see, I had to override the <tt>wasFailureCommunicationBased()</tt> method as well, due to some unexpected NPE's. (A bug, perhaps?))
This code does work. However, the performance is not very well. The first page comes relatively fast, but as you browse further in the table, each page comes slower. I assume this is because the counter() method has to be evaluated for each row in the table.
I have to get the performance better and constant. Does anyone have an idea how to optimize this further?
Best regards,
Bart Kummel

Jdeveloper Team RE Jdeveloper 9.0.3 For Non-Oracle Databases

I see that support for non-Oracle databases and Third-Party JDBC drivers is very improved. However, I have tried to use the SAPDb JDBC driver and the BC4J tester and generated Swing clients all display greyed so that no updates are possible. This appears to be a bug since Jbuilder works fine with this driver. However, I think Jbuilder's Express dataset and commit philosophy is really bad. Any commitments as to when this will be fixed?

Yes, I examined the attribute settings and manually adjusted them in the entities and views. They are now updateable. Using Jdeveloper with SAPDB would be very tedious. Jdeveloper did not recognize foreign key constrains, primary keys, nor that attributes were updateable.
Is there a way to include SAPDB in the testing? It is trivial to install and run and would make Jdeveloper a more robust tool. I do not like Jbuilder's approach to master-detail client screens and would recommend using Jdeveloper for this type of work if it could handle more databases like SapDb.

Need help for importing oracle 10G dump into 9i database

hi, Someone help me to import oracle 10G dump into 9i database. I'm studying oracle . Im using oracle 10G developer suite(downloaded from oracle) and oracle 9i database. I saw some threads tat we can't import the higher version dumps into lower version database. But i'm badly need help for importing the dump...
or
someone please tell me the site to download oracle 9i Developer suite as i can't find it in oracle site...

I didnt testet it to import a dump out of a 10g instance into a 9i instance if this export has been done using a 10g environment.
But it is possible to perform an export with a 9i environment against a 10g instance.
I am just testing this with a 9.2.0.8 environment against a 10.2.0.4.0 instance and is working so far.
The system raises an EXP-00008 / ORA-37002 error after exporting the data segments (exporting post-schema procedural objects and actions).
I am not sure if it is possible to perform an import to a 9i instance with this dump but maybe worth to give it a try.
It should potentially be possible to export at least 9i compatible objects/segments with this approach.
However, I have my doubts if this stunt is supported by oracle ...

Help for: ORA-01103: database name PRIMARY in control file is not STANDBY

Hello all, this will be my first post to the support forum. I'm an associate dba with just 6 months on the job, so if I've forgotten something or not given some infromation that is needed please let me know.
I've also combed the forums/internet, and some of the answers haven't helped. The Oracle Document ORA-1103 While Mounting the Database Using PFILE [ID 237073.1] says my init.ora file is corrupted, but creating a new init.ora file from the spfile does not help. Neither does just starting from the spfile. I have older copies of the init.ora file and the spfiles that the database was running on previously, so I believe they are good.
This standby NIRNASD1 has existed previously, I had to refresh the primary NIKNASD2, and then re-instantiate NIRNASD1 after the refresh is complete.
My env is set correctly, and my ORACLE_SID has been exported to NIRNASD1
NIKNASD2 = Primary Database
NIRNASD1 = Secondary/Standby Database
Goal: Creation of Logical Standby NIRNASD1 after creating Physical Standby from NIKNASD2
My database versions are 10.2.0.4.0, and the databases are on a Unix server. Both databases are located on separate servers.
Steps that I have taken:
I used RMAN to backup our primary database to the staging area:
$ rman target /
run {
backup database
format '/datatransa/dg_stage/%U'
include current controlfile for standby;
sql "alter system archive log current";
backup archivelog all format '/datatransa/dg_stage/%U';
I used RMAN to Create Secondary Database utilizing RMAN DUPLICATE command.
RMAN> run {
2> allocate auxiliary channel auxdisk device type disk;
3> duplicate target database for standby NOFILENAMECHECK;
4> }
On Secondary database I started Managed Recovery mode
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
(I used pfile here, thinking that I needed to mount the database to the pfile so that the database would see the change in the dataguard parameters in the init.ora file, the change from logical to physical- I commeneted out the logical and uncommented the physical line)
# Dataguard Parameters
For logical standby, change db_name to name of standby database.
db_name=NIKNASD2 ### for physical, db_name is same as primary
#db_name=NIRNASD1 ### for logical, db_name is same as unique_name
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT PFILE = /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/initNIRNASD1.ora;
ORACLE instance started.

Database Buffers 1174405120 bytes
Redo Buffers 14692352 bytes
Database mounted.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect;
I then verified the Data Guard Configuration by using “alter system archive log current;” on the primary database and watching the sequence number change in the secondary database.
I made sure that:
•     The primary database was in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE MODE
•     Stopped managed recover on the standby database: alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
•     Built a logical standby data dictionary on the primary database
•     The db_name in init.ora was changed (this is in our document at my job)
•     I changed my database name (from physical to logical) in my init.ora pfile (reverse of what I did above)
# Dataguard Parameters
For logical standby, change db_name to name of standby database.
#db_name=NIKNASD2 ### for physical, db_name is same as primary
db_name=NIRNASD1 ### for logical, db_name is same as unique_name
I then went to shutdown my standby database and re-start it in a mount exclusive state, which is where I get the ORA-01103 Error (Again I used the pfile, thinking that I needed to tell the database it is now a logical standby):
SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> STARTUP EXCLUSIVE MOUNT PFILE = /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/initNIRNASD1.ora;

ORA-01103: database name 'NIKNASD2' in control file is not 'NIRNASD1'
From what I understand of the process, the name in the control file is correct, I want it to be NIRNASD1. But the database for some reason thinks it should be NIKNASD2. The following are the parts of my init.ora file that include the dataguard parameters:
# Database Identification

I would appreciate any help, or pointing me in the right direction. I'm just missing something. I am reviewing the documents for building a physical and logical standby from oracle. Just not sure where to go from here.
Thank you

First of all, thank you both for answering my post. I've pulled up Mr. Hesse's page and will make it a go-to staple.
We're in the process of upgrading our databases, but we have 130+ databases and only six Oracle dba's, and I'm one of them. It's a large corporation, and things move at a "slow and tested" pace.
The pfile parameters listed above are from my secondary/standby database. And I do want to create a logical standby.
I forgot to mention that we do use DataGuard Broker, but I did not think that would be the cause of why the database was starting up incorrectly, so I did not mention it. My apologies there.
As far as the db_name, here's my question on that. It's my understanding the the db_name should be the name of the primary database when you are working with a physical standby, but as soon as you convert it to logical, you should change the db_name to the secondary/standby database? Am I correct on that?
Leading from that, during the process of creating the physical standby and converting the physical standby to the logical standby, should I change the db_name in the secondary/standby database in the spfile and never use the pfile at all? For instance, when I create the physical standby I have to change the db_name in the standby to the PRIMARY database, so that makes me think I should change db_name in the spfile? (If you see above, I changed db_name in the pfile and did a startup pfile)
This morning I was able to reach out to a fellow DBA (they are were asleep when I posted this last night), and they tried a few things. We had a redirect in the standby directory /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/dbs folder that looked like this: spfileNIRNASD1.ora -> /oraa/app/oracle/product/1020/admin/NIRNASD1/pfile/spfileNIRNASD1.ora
She removed the redirect and the startup mount exclusive then worked without the error.
Thank you again for your help Mr.Quluzade and Mr. Hesse, I appreciate you all taking the time to teach someone new to the craft. I will definitely read up on the link that you sent me.

Using AE(htmldb 2.0) as for reporting tool for other oracle databases.

Maybe I was mistaken, but when I first saw the HTMLDB demo's I saw this as a slick way to build a browser based reporting tool for the masses for quasi-ad-hoc reporting on some of our larger databases that currently have limited reporting capability, and also as a possible replacement for the many MSAccess applets we have.
I just got 2.0 installed and working on a 9i database and went through the basic tutorials, but I can't find much info on how to connect to other oracle databases.
Are my options as follows?:
create dblinks from the local database that houses htmldb to all the other databases?
or
install htmldb schemas on each database I want to access from htmldb?
or
I'll keep looking, but if any of you have any pointers or know of a tutorial that explains the best way to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

As for question 1, yep, that's what I mean. Example:
In a schema in the App Express instance, create a user called "APP1_USER", and then
create view app1_user.people as select * from people@link_user@remotedb
As for the next question, using the built-in insert/update/delete processes will give you
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
among other errors. Apparently version 2.1 will fix this. See Cannot Update VARCHAR column in Remote DB
We address this problem by creating pl/sql APIs for DML, and then writing our own insert/update processes. Slows us down a little, but even with that, App Express remains a productive choice for us.
Another weird problem: auto-row fetch (built-in to HTML DB) doesn't work over db links when you have two columns for a primary key. Many ways around this, e.g. create sequence-populated primary key, create a view with single column that concatenates primary key column values (key1|key2)
Hope this helps!

Need help for finding oracle payables tables

Hi,
I need help for finding tables relating fields INVOICE_ID, NOTIFICATION_ID and APPROVAL_STATUS or WFAPPROVAL_STATUS. I have searched a lot but has been unable to find any table containing all the above mentioned fields. I found the table WF_NOTIFICATIONS for INVOICE_ID, however have been unable to find the latest tables with INVOICE_ID and APPROVAL_STATUS as fields.
All the tables having this combination are either very old tables which are not used anymore or doesnt give the required data. Please let me know where am i going wrong. Once i get the required tables, i need to join the tables to get the required data with the imp fields. Also, the values of WFAPPROVAL_STATUS are not very clear to me. I need values for it as APPROVED, REJECTED AND INITIATED.

Hi Swetha,
You will have to manually make the table adjustments in all the systems using SE14 trans since the changes done using SE14 cannot be collected in any TR.
How to adjust tables :
Enter the table name in SE14. For ex for any Z master data(Say ZABCD), master data table name would be /BIC/PZABCD, text table would be /BIC/TZABCD. Similarly any DSO(say ZXYZ) table name would be /BIC/AZXYZ00 etc.
Just enter the table name in SE14 trans --> Edit --> Select the radio button "Save Data" --> Click on Activate & adjust database table.
NOTE : Be very careful in using SE14 trans since there is possibility that the backend table could be deleted.
How to collect the changes in TR:
You can collect only the changes made to the IO --> When you activate, it will ask you for the TR --> Enter the correct package name & create a new TR. If it doesn't prompt you for TR, just goto Extras --> Write transport request from the IO properties Menu screen. Once these IO changes are moved successfully, then the above proceduce can be followed using SE14 trans.
Hope it helps!

Pavan

Network Help - Accessing my Oracle Database from a client

Hi,
I am new to installing and managing oracle databases so please bare with me if i seem a bit dense.
I have installed Oracle 10g to a windows 2003 server and created a database instance called appConfig sid: appConfi
I have successfully connected to the database and created objects via sql using sql+ on the server that the database install resides on. The server is part of a small network (one application server and a client). I am trying to get sqlplus on the application server (which is a client as far as oracle is concerned) to connect to the database via sql plus.
I have set up the tnsnames.ora file on the client and can successfully tnsping the database name "appConfi" from the command prompt indicating that the tnsnames.ora file is successfully providing the correct host details.
When i attempt to logon to the database via sqlplus using the same credentials I used on the actual database server i get the following error message from sqlplus:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
This is my tnsnames.ora file that resides on the client and it is exactly the same as the one on the database server:
APPCONFI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.2.2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = appConfig)
Any ideas?? I need to set this up for my final year project at university and it is giving me a headache.

I did manually create my tnsnames.ora file on the client, i have now deleted it and went through net manager > Service Name wizard and got the following message when i attempted to test it:
Initializing first test to use userid: scott, password: tiger
Attempting to connect using userid: scott
The test did not succeed.
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
There may be an error in the fields entered,
or the server may not be ready for a connection.
I entered the service name as appConfi
Any more ideas??
It looks like the server is not resolving the name so I have deleted my listner file on the server and recreated it using the wizard and it is now as follows:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = projcav1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
still i get the same result??? Is it just me !!!!!

Missing Templates for Standalone Oracle Database

According to this link: [Templates Overview|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/overview/templates-101937.html]
and this link: [Database Template|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/database-092479.html] ...
There should be a template for a standalone (non-RAC) database.
But when you go to eDelivery there is no such template.
Why does Oracle not provide a template for the standalone database ???

You can use the templates for Oracle Enterprise Linux.
According to Readme:
"The oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall package is installed in the templates
before the Oracle Linux 6 Update 4 templates. This package installs software
packages and sets system parameters that are required for Oracle single instance
and Real Application Cluster install for Oracle Linux Release 6.
This package creates the 'oracle' user, with an initial login group of 'oinstall',
a supplementary group of 'dba', and a home directory of /home/oracle. The
Oracle-validated package disables logins by the user 'oracle', and the password is
locked for the 'oracle' user by default. To enable the 'oracle' user account, log in
as the 'root' user to the guest virtual machine after it is booted."
If you choose to use OEL 6 Update 4 you can install the package using the package manager.
