I follow the doc for owb92 demo, but got error while deploying the wh_proc_loc. The error is as follows. How do configure workflow database link on owb? Thanks.
RPE-02085: Failed to test wb_rti_workflow_util.initialize through deployed Workflow Database Link ORCL.US.ORACLE.COM@WB_LK_LD_OLAP. Please check that "EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE" privilege is set and that the OWB Runtime is available.

How to configure the database monitoring (DBA Cockpit) after Support pack

Hi,
I did the Support Pack Upgrade for BW system and i ran SGEN as well, now i need to configure the database , could you please suggest how to configure the database monitoring (DBA Cockpit) after Support Pack Upgrade.
Server is MSSQL , Component is SAP NetWeaver 2004s and OS is Windows NT.
Plesae suggest.
Chandu.

Hi,
You are right. SAP delivers this functionality from SP-12. So when you have applied the SP-12, you must have done these config steps to enable the DBA Cockpit.
If you have done these steps earlier, So you must have DBA Cockpit enable right now and putting extra SPs like 13, 14 and so on, should not be a matter.
Now if you have not performed those config steps before, Please do them now and you will be able to use DBA cockpit.
Please understand that SP12 is the base to run DBA Cockpit.
With Regards,
Saurabh

How to create a database link to connect to Progress

I using 10g (10.2.0.4) and want to connect to progress 9.x using a databaselink.
Which are the steps, examples to acomplish this?.

You have to use the 11g Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) to connect from Oracle 10.2.0.4 to Postgres.There's a note on My Oracle Support how to configure the gateway - please have a look at:
How to Configure DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX Itanium) to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install (Doc ID 561033.1)
I would recommend you to use the latest gateway release (11.2.0.3) which can be downloaded from My Oracle Support portal as well. Just click on Patches and Updates and look for the 11.2.0.3 patch set:
Patch 10404530: 11.2.0.3.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER
Although it is a patch set this software can also be used to install the gateway from scratch.
Check out the readme as it lists which ZIP file contains the gateway software you have to download.
The DG4ODBC gateway is for free and its license is included in the Oracle database license. You only need to make sure you have a suitable ODBC driver which is able to connect to your Postgres database.
Best regards,
Klaus

How to find the number of ODBC connections to Oracle Database

Hi All,
How to find the number of ODBC connections and all connections to the Database in last week. Are there any views to get this information?
Thanks in advance,
Mahi

What Ed said is true that Oracle doesn't note which type of protocol is connecting to the database, however, you can see which program is accessing the database.
For example: if you already know of a user using ODBC, you can verify as:
select username, osuser, terminal, program from v$session where username = 'SCOTT'
USERNAME                 OSUSER          TERMINAL   PROGRAM
SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
2 rows selected.Assuming that you can confirm the progam noted in the above (example) is the one using ODBC, then you can change the query such as:
SQL> select username, osuser, terminal, program from v$session where program = 'w3wp.exe';
USERNAME                 OSUSER          TERMINAL   PROGRAM
SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
SCOTT                    IUSR_SRV231     SRV231     w3wp.exe
2 rows selected.Just for kicks, I checked our listener.log file, but there was no reference of odbc in it either.
Hope this helps...

How to determine Which Database I am Connected to?

hi everyone,
10g
I'm going to drop a database via SQL Plus.
I forgot the command that will show which db I'm connected to. Dont want to delete the wrong database!
Thanks, John

Personally I prefer to use: select name from v$database
to verify what database I am connected to if there is any doubt.
With 10g it is possible to set the sqlpromt to your database name and have it maintained even if you issue a connect statement to another database.

Help needed for MySQL 5 database DSN less connection with Oracle reports

Hi,
I am using Oracle Develper Suite and java (J2EE) for my application. I am using MySql 5 as database tool. I want to use Oracle reports of Oracle Develper suite. I have created some reports by first creating system DSN for MySql database and then connect Oracle reports to that DSN by "jdbc:odbc" connection string provided in Oracle Report developer wizard. This is working fine.
I want to generate reports without creating system DSN (DSN less) so that i can use my application on any computer without creating DSN for Oracle Reports. I am deploying my application on OC4j as "EAR" file.
Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Regards.

Using an 8i client, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file with appropriate connection information if you are using local naming. If you are using host naming or something like an Oracle Names server to resolve TNS aliases, you can skip the tnsnames.ora configuration. A default installation of the Oracle client, though, will probably be using local naming.
If the tnsnames.ora file is configured, or you have configured an alternate way of resolving TNS aliases, you should be able to use the connection string
DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};DBQ=<<TNS alias>>;UID=system;PWD=managerIf you wanted to move to the 10g client (the 10g Instant Client could be useful here), there are some streamlined naming methods that could be used instead of configuring the tnsnames.ora file.

Question:How to use MySQL database as a service in Oracle Cloud

Hello All,
I want to use MySQL as backend for my application.How can i select MySQL database.Its showing me only to choose Oracle database.
Thanks in advance.

The Oracle Database Cloud Service uses the Oracle Database. You do not have access to the underlying operating system to make the choice you are seeking.
When the Oracle Compute Service comes out later this year, you could use one of those "infrastructure only" environments and load MySQL into it. You would be responsible for all maintenance of MySQL and the environment.
Hope this helps.

How to access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

How can I access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

...Called it a roaming network. Wireless mode is create a wireless network. I have checked allow this network to be extended. Probably need to uncheck that?
Yes, that option should be deselected as it only pertains to when both routers are interconnected by wireless. Since you have a roaming network, they of course, would be interconnected by Ethernet.
The other important settings for a roaming network are:
Each router must have a unique station name. For the AirPort, this would be called its Base Station Name. I believe the default station name for Linksys routers is: linksys
Each router must broadcast a wireless network with an identical Network Name. For the Linksys, Network Name is the same as its SSID.
Each router wireless network must use the same Wireless Security type and password. The Linksys WRT-54G is capable of up to WPA2 Personal. If you have it set to this level of security, the AirPort should be at the same setting.
Make sure that each router is not on the same Radio Channel for the 2.4 GHz radio. In the US, there are basically only three non-overlapping channels: 1, 6, or 11. Set each so that they don't use the same channel but use of those three choices.

How to configure Grub or enable dual boot Windows7 & Oracle Enterprise Linux6

Hi,
I had Windows 7 installed on my PC and later on I have installed Oracle Linux6 (Server).
While installation I didn't get any option to configure dual boot and now I am unable to boot Windows7.
If I do fsdik -l command on Linux prompt, I get the result:

I check the grub config file at /boot/grub/menu.lst but I do not see any entry for windows here.
Please advise how to configure grub or other way to make the dual boot options enable and use windows and linux.
Thanks in Advance.
Anand

Could you post your menu.lst file?
It's not clear which exact partition Windows 7 is on from fdisk -l, but you could try adding this to your menu.lst file:
title Microsoft Windows 7
root (hd0,1)

It is pointless, and just adds to the confusion, to name your listener anything other than the default name of LISTENER
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
Client requests to 'localhost' (or its ip address of 127.0.0.1) never leave the client machine. Hence, any listener configured for that address will never receive a request from any other machine.

You've thrown out a huge amount of detailed data, but showing a variety of errors, and combinations. Overall, I get the impression you are confusing remote vs. local connections. Please read the following, then come back and let's focus on one error at a time.

Not able to connect to Oracle EBS from host Windows 7

Hi, I have installed oracle EBS version 12.1.1 (32 bit) on OEL ver 6.3 (32 bit). I have installed Linux on Oracle VM virtualbox ver 4.1.16.
I am having host OS as Windows 7 home on my laptop.
While setting up the Network in Oracle VM virtualbox, I have set "attached to" as 'Host Only Adapter'.
I am able to connect to oracle EBS from the client server(linux) using Firefox browser. Both the services(database, Application) are starting & stopping without any problem.
I have entered following setting in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
192.168.56.101 linux.server
IP address of Linux OS is 192.168.56.101
Please help in resolving the issue.
Thanks!

I am getting error as "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" on IE ver 9, when accessing from host machine. On Firefox (ver 12), the error is coming as "The connection has timed out. The server at linux.server is taking too long to respond."
The firewall on the server has been disabled already.
I am not able to ping the server IP address or hostname.domainname from client. Following error comes while pinging -
