How do I resolve "Parse Failed: Bad Connect String: Database" error message

I have a user who is editing a select statement in a BOXI 3.1 Web Intelligence query. He is gettng the error message in the subject line.

Hi
can you please try to run the edited SQL statement directly against the SQL server? Do you get any errors then?

Error sending emails to Internet: Failed to connect. Winsock error code: 10051

Our exchange 2013 CU2 (CAS+MBX, Win2012) was sending emails to Internet using another server (a kerio email server) and outbound internet email was working as expected.
We have now removed the Kerio server, I also removed the kerio_Send_Connector I was using to send emails to internet and I also changed the email domain in Exchange to be authoritative. I created a new Internet send connector with default values, but the same
bad behavior is present.
Our Exchange 2013 receives emails internally and externally with no problems. The problems are sending emails to Internet. I am suspecting something in the firewall but i need to do some more research.
If from the same Exchange server I telnet to an Internet email host:25 I do get the smtp banner but as soon as I start typing HELO/EHLO I get disconnected and errors are logged.
Errors when sending emails to any emails address (this is from an email sent to google, all others are the same):
Remote Server at aspmx3.googlemail.com (74.125.136.26) returned '400 4.4.7 Message delayed'
7/1/14 9:52:44 a. m. - Remote Server at aspmx3.googlemail.com (74.125.136.26) returned '441 4.4.1 Error encountered while communicating with primary target IP address: "Failed to connect. Winsock error code: 10051, Win32 error code: 10051." Attempted
failover to alternate host, but that did not succeed. Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all alternate hosts. The last endpoint attempted was 74.125.136.26:25'
I cannot find any references from such Winsock error that are related to Exchange 2013.
So far all email is being queued at the Exchange Server 2013. I am afraid to install CU3 and make things worse.
Thanks for your comments.

Just check if the receive connector settings are set to fine
check the send connector properties and see whether it is set to use DNS to route emails through external DNS/Internal DNS or smart host .
Do a telnet to external domain like hotmail,yahoo and see at what transaction you are getting an error
Enable verbose logging, restart the transport service and check if you get the same error in the verbose logs as well
Get in touch with the ISP and see if the port 25 for Outbound SMTP is opened.
YOu can check if SMTP Proxy is enabled in the firewall. If so disable the SMTP proxy in the firewall and check.
Good Luck!!

Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

Hello -
This is the error in grid alert:
Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach).
But the test of connection string in database configure screen is successful. tnsping works too.
Grid version: 11.2.0.1.0, no patches.
Target database version: 10.2.0.2
Connect string: (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = s08) (PORT = 1528))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = S08) (GLOBAL_NAME = S08.WORLD)))
Any ideas?

OK.. Are you testing the connectivity from "Preferred Credentials " setting page?
Try to configure target from
Targets-->databases--> then select your database and click on "configure" button.
Enter all the details and press "Test Connection" button once it shows that connection is successful go to next page and finally save the setting.
Let me know how it goes....

How to find the number of users connected to database from OS level(Linux)

Hi All,
Could anyone know , how to find the number of users connected to database without connecting with sql*plus
is there any command to find it?
example we have 10 databases in one server, how to find the number of users connected to particular database without connecting to database(v$session)?
oracle version:- 10g,11g
Operating System:- OEL4/OEL5/AIX/Solaris
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Excellent.
Tested, works as long as you set the ORACLE_SID first ( to change databases )
ps -ef | grep $ORACLE_SID | grep "LOCAL=NO" | awk '{print $2}' | wc -l
Thanks!
select OSUSER
from V$SESSION
where AUDSID = SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','sessionid')

Failed to connect to database ONLY at the first time

Hi all, I installed Discoverer 10g version and I'm using an Application User to connect to the server where's the Db is installed.
Every time I try to connect to the server with Discoverer Viewer or Desktop I have a curious behavior....
ALWAYS but ONLY the first time I try to connect I have the following error :
- Failed to connect to database - Unable to connect to Oracle Applications database: invalid username/password.
If I try to re-connect again the second time it works perfectly !!....so, I think, there's nothing related with my .dbc file.
I tried also to write the ':' at the end of the user name....but it didn't work.
Into the pref.txt file doesn't exist a parameter like DefaultUserTypeIsApps to set....
Anybody have had the same "strange" behavior and found a solution or workaround ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Thanks for your answers first of all !
At the end I found the solution looking at the Note:307167.1 on Metalink:
Discoverer Plus 10.1.2 Fails with ORA-1017 Error On First Login Attempt Then Works On Second Attempt
This note is very useful but into the solution the point 3 is not correct !
3. Modify the servername parameter to indicate the fully qualified servername.domain
Example:
An httpd.conf setting of: ServerName my_servername.mydomain.com should match a Discoverer Plus URL like http://my_servername.mydomain.com:7778/discoverer/plus
I had this problem both with Viewer and Plus...so instead to change the server name parameter (into the Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf file) with my complete URL (http://gnvdev.ote.gr:7779/discoverer/plus), I just write my right server name:
Example
After the installation of the Discoverer 1og server, into the httpd.conf file it was written automatyically: ServerName gnvdev
I just modified in ServerName gnvdev.ote.gr and both Viewer and Plus started to work perfectly at the first time.
I hope that this hint will be useful for you and others in the Discoverer forum !!!
Best Regards
Alex

It would appear that your archive location is full. If it is full, then try to get some more free space there by either deleting the old archives or specifying a different location.
I don't see any mention of a flash recovery area in the log message, but you may also want to confirm that you have reached your space allocated to the FRA.

C How to Set Isolation Level in the Connection String

How to Set Isolation Level in the Connection String using the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 Version 4.0"?
We are trying to move from Crystal Reporting that run against a IBM DB2 database on a mainfram to SSRS reporting and we have downloaded the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 Version 4.0" and then worked with the DB2 Administrator to create the
Packages. We only have access to use the "Read Uncommitted ("MSUR001") package. We were able to connect and pull data before he removed access to the other packages, but after setting access the Connection keeps trying to use
the 'Cursor Stability (MSCS001)" package. How do we change the Default to the "Read Uncommitted ("MSUR001") package??? Since it is keeps defaulting to the the other package
we can't connect to do it in the T-SQL query, it has to be set at the Connection String level.

Hi Dannyboy1263,
According to your description, you want to set the Transaction Isolation Level in Connection String. Right?
In Reporting Services, the Connection String for OLE DB Connection can only contains Provider, Data Source and Initial Catalog. There's no property for setting Transaction Isolation Level in the Connection String. Based on my knowledge, we can
only set the Transaction Isolation Level at Query level or set it by using code (C#, VB, Java...) to call the property of Connection. So unfortunately your requirement can't be achieved currently.
Reference:
OLE DB Connection Type (SSRS)
Data Connections, Data Sources, and Connection Strings in Reporting Services
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Simon Hou

Failed to connect to database

Several days ago, I created a workbook with 5 worksheets in Discoverer Plus 9.02 against a 10g database. Everything worked fine until today when I tried to re-saved the workbook into the database. I saw the error message that said "Failed to connect to database". When I hit the OK button in the error message dialog box, my sessions were terminated. Again, the error happened whenever I tried to re-save the workbook into the DB. I didn't see such error before.

Hi Andy,
We are having a similar issue. We recently upgraded from 4.1.48 to 10.1.2.48.18. We are using Plus/Viewer. Imported workbook has several worksheets. Query runs but then receive an error stating 'Contact with the server has been lost...' I set the row retrievel to 20 rows but still get this error message.
Have you found a resolution to this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Did anyone know why we get the error in the OEM grid:

Webex Connect "An unknown error ocurred connecting the server" Error Message

Hi,
We have the latest Cisco Webex Connect Clients (7.1.1 Build 16597) in use in our company. With no obvious reason one of our employees now can't connect to Webex Connect getting the Error Message "An unknown error ocurred while connecting to the server." We tried to close and re open the client and to re-enter the password, both with no succes. Using another Jabber/XMPP capable IM Client works but not using Cisco Webex Connect.
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Patrick

You may face this issue if your IE is working in offline mode.
To resolve:
Try going to google.com on internet explorer.
Click on connect when prompted.
Once google.com opens fine then try logging in to the WebEx Connect again.
It should work now.

Safari and Chrome "can't connect to webpage" error message

I recently purchased this macbook on the 26th and it was working completely fine the first day. Today i was using my macbook and it was working completely fine, then about 20-30 minutes after turning on and using my macbook webpages failed to load. In safari I would refresh the page and the page would stop loading at about 40%, and when i tried doing using the search bar instead of the URL bar, i would recieve a "Can't connect to server error" saying that safari was unable to connect to Google. On Chrome i tried opening the same page, such as twitter or youtube, and the page would fail to load as well and it would give me the "unable to connect to webpage" error message. Anything connected to the internet won't load as well, such as the app store or even skype. Whenever i restart the computer it begins working fine again, but returns to its previous state after 20-30 mins again. I have tried restarting my router and even connecting to a different router. I have also checked my proxies and nothing is selected. I am just wondering what to do at this moment, should i take my computer in so soon? Or should I give the computer some time to get "broken in."? My macbook is running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4

How do I get iTunes back when I get the error message ; the application "I Tunes" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore it's windows. Do you want to restore it's windows?

how do I get ITunes back when I get the error message :
The application "ITunes" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore it's windows. Do you want to restore it's windows?
I already tried reloading ITunes and it still doesn't startup.

You didn't mention but are you still running a version of iPhoto older than iPhoto 11?
If yes, then go to the App Store and purchase the iP 11 app and install it. Back up your photo library first.
Once iP 11 is installed and has imported all your photos do a restart of the Mac.
This should resolve most issues with iTunes 10.6 and you should be able to run iTunes and sync up your iOS devices.

How configure 9iAS logon to return database error messages (i.e., user locked)

When the database user is in locked status or the user's password has expired the Apache logon returns a generic screen 'Database Log In Failed' after three attempts. When you logon outside the web interface then you get the error number and message returned. How can Oracle Apache be configured to return the database errors at logon.

Mayu,
Look at what is done in the UpdateAction code.
try
catch (JboException ex)
errors = buildErrorsFromException(request, ex);
Then call saveErrors on the action:
saveErrors(request, errors);
In the html you need to display the error using the errors tag:
<html:errors/>
An other way to do it but not as flexible is to use a global exception.
<global-exceptions>
<exception type="oracle.jbo.JboException" path="/errorpage.jsp" key="globalerror.jboException"/>
</global-exceptions>
You would list the specific exception and errorpage needed.

I have recently bought an iPhone 4S and I am trying to install iOS7. The install initially failed and I received an error message. I attempted a restore, however, the progress bar is now stuck at "Restoring iPhone software.."
I'm still attempting to restore it, but the process goes as follows
- Extracting software.
- Waiting for iphone.
- Preparing iphone software for restore.
- Verifying iphone software.
- Restoring iPhone software.
It is at this point where it begins to load approxiamtely 10% and then freezes. I have had the handset connected 7 hours with no progress and this is my third attempt since Friday. Please help.

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.
