How to connect the local database of Pesonal Oracle From FormBuilder of develope 2000

I installed developer 2000 with personal Oracle in win95. I opened Oracle Form builder and click connect submenu of File. It prompts for user name, password and Database. I added scott/tiger for user name and password and I do not know what I should add into the database item. I tried to add oracle or Local Database to the database item, but it did not work. I also tried to use system/manager/oracle, but it still did not work.
Please tell me what should I add to the database item.
Thanks

You can use the "Oracle Net 8 assistant", "Oracle Net 8 Easy config" to see if you have the appropriate entry to the server in the local tnsnames.ora file (find it!). I mean that one in the Forms&Reports home, not that one in the Oracle_Home.
Under local I mean the file tnsnames.ora in your application, not at the Oracle Server - this is a common mistake.
You have to have there an entry like:
REKS816.RILA.us =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = bigbluenew.rila.us)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = REKS816)
It is a bad practice, but you can add such entry using simple text editor. But before that make a copy of tnsnames.ora in order to restore it if you do not succeed.
After that go to "control panel" and run "services".
Look at your Oracle_Home_TNSlistener80 process. Stop it! Start it again!
If you work on Unix find the relevant processes and notions of the Unix OS.

  • How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB

    How do the application servers connect the new database after failing over from primary DB to standby DB?
    We have setup a DR environment with a standalone Primary server and a standalone Physical Standby server on RHEL Linux 6.4. Now our application team would like to know:
    When the primary DB server is crashed, the standy DB server will takeover the role of primary DB through the DataGuard fast failover. As the applications are connected by the primary DB IP before,currently the physical DB is used as a different IP or listener. If this is happened, they need to stop their application servers and re-configure their connection so the they coonect the new DB server, they cannot tolerate these workaround. 
    Whether does oracle have the better solution for this so that the application can automatically know the role's transition and change to the new IP without re-confige any connection and shutdown their application?
    Oracle support provides us the answer as following:
    ==================================================================
    Applications connected to a primary database can transparently failover to the new primary database upon an Oracle Data Guard role transition. Integration with Fast Application Notification (FAN) provides fast failover for integrated clients.
    After a failover, the broker publishes Fast Application Notification (FAN) events. These FAN events can be used in the following ways:
    Applications can use FAN without programmatic changes if they use one of these Oracle integrated database clients: Oracle Database JDBC, Oracle Database Oracle Call Interface (OCI), and Oracle Data Provider for .NET ( ODP.NET). These clients can be configured for Fast Connection Failover (FCF) to automatically connect to a new primary database after a failover.
    JAVA applications can use FAN programmatically by using the JDBC FAN application programming interface to subscribe to FAN events and to execute event handling actions upon the receipt of an event.
    FAN server-side callouts can be configured on the database tier.
    FAN events are published using Oracle Notification Services (ONS) and Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ).
    =======================================================================================
    Who has the experience and the related documentation or other solutions? we don't have the concept of about FAN.
    Thank very much in advance.

    Hi mesbeg,
    Thanks alot.
    For example, there is an application JBOSS server connecting the DB, we just added another datasource and put the standby IP into the configuration file except adding a service on DB side like this following:

            <datasources>
                    <datasource jta="false" jndi-name="java:/jdbc/idserverDatasource" pool-name="IDServerDataSource" enabled="true" use-java-context="true">

                            <exception-sorter class-name="org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.oracle.OracleExceptionSorter"/>
                        </validation>
                    </datasource>

                        <driver name="oracle" module="com.oracle.jdbc">

            </subsystem>
    If the failover is occurred, the JBOSS will automatically be pointed to the standby DB. Additional actions are not needed.

  • How to connect the Mysql database?

    Hi,
    I am trying to create the DATABASE source. I'll need to connect mysql db.
    This is correct?
    jdbc:mysql:<db>:<port>
    And what i do the other changes?
    Please advice me.
    Thanks!
    Regards,

    You would also need to install the JDBC driver for MySQL - see the admin guide for details.
    HOWEVER ... there are a couple of bugs which will prevent SES from crawling MySQL databases: 6845168 and 6972574. These will be fixed in the next (10.1.8.4) release, or you can ask Oracle Support for patches.

  • How to share the same Database Connection when using several Task Flows ?

    Hi All,
    I’m using JDev 11.1.1.3.0.
    I’m developing ADF Fusion Applications (ABC BC, ADF Faces…)
    These applications are deployed on a Weblogic server.
    Each application has only one Application Module.
    All Application Modules have the same connection type defined: JDBC DataSource : jdbc/GCCDS
    It is working fine.
    I’ve also developed Task Flow Applications for small thinks that are reused in multiple main applications.
    Each Task Flow Application has also one Application Module with the same connections type as main applications.
    All these task flows are deployed to JAR file (ADF Library JAR File) and are reused on my main applications. (drag and drop from the Resource Palette to ADF Regions….).
    There are some parameters passed to Task Flows, so that they can filter data depending on which main applications they are called from.
    Everything is working perfectly.
    All my main applications are using more and more task flows. Which is nice for the reusability etc…?
    Only ONE PROBLEM: DATABASE CONNECTIONS.
    Every Task Flows service made a database connection. So one user may have 10 database connections for the same adf page. And when there are 100 users that are working at the same time, it becomes a problem.
    How to share the same database connections for the main applications and all task flows which are used in the main application?
    Best Regards
    Nicolas

    Hi John,
    When I open a ADF Library JAR file of one of my task flow. (gcc_tf_recentSites.jar)
    I can see TF_RecentSitesService.xml and TF_RecentSitesServiceImpl.class in gcc_tf_recentSites.jar\mu\gcc\tf\recentSites\model\service folder
    + bc4j.xcfg in gcc_tf_recentSites.jar\mu\gcc\tf\recentSites\model\service\common folder.
    bc4j.xcfg details are
    +<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>+

  • Can't create connection to local database

    I'm trying to create a connection to a local database but I'm having problems.
    Currently we use SQL Plus to do work on the local database. With that we don't need to specify a host string we just leave it blank and it connects with no problems. SQL Developer is now requiring a host string, what are we supposed to use?

    I added this to the tnsnames.ora to try to help
    ORCL.world =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS =     
    (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
    (PROTOCOL = TCP)
    (Port = 1521)
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)
    You want something simpler, more like this.
    ORCL.world =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
    Trying to connect after that I get an error saying
    ORA-12541 TNS no listener.
    I made sure the listener service is started but I
    don't know what else I need to do with the listener.In a command window, type lsnrctl status. It should show what port the listener is running on and what services it is supporting. You should modify your tnsnames.ora to match
    Post the output here if you need more guidance.

    Hello;
    So in the example below replace "ernie" with the alias you want the client to use.
    I can show you how I do it :
    First an entry need to be added to the client tnsnames.ora that uses a SERVICE_NAME instead of a SID.
    ernie =
    (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
           (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Primary.host)(PORT = 1521))
           (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Standby.host)(PORT = 1521))
           (CONNECT_DATA =
           (SERVICE_NAME = ernie)
    )Next the service 'ernie' needs to be created manually on the primary database.
    BEGIN
       DBMS_SERVICE.CREATE_SERVICE('ernie','ernie');
    END;
    /After creating the service needs to be manually started.
    BEGIN
       DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('ernie');
    END;
    /Several of the default parameters can now be set for 'ernie'.
    BEGIN
       DBMS_SERVICE.MODIFY_SERVICE
       ('ernie',
       FAILOVER_METHOD => 'BASIC',
       FAILOVER_TYPE => 'SELECT',
       FAILOVER_RETRIES => 200,
       FAILOVER_DELAY => 1);
    END;
    /Finally a database STARTUP trigger should be created to ensures that this service is only offered if the database is primary.
    CREATE TRIGGER CHECK_ERNIE_START AFTER STARTUP ON DATABASE
    DECLARE
    V_ROLE VARCHAR(30);
    BEGIN
    SELECT DATABASE_ROLE INTO V_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE;
    IF V_ROLE = 'PRIMARY' THEN
    DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('ernie');
    ELSE
    DBMS_SERVICE.STOP_SERVICE('ernie');
    END IF;
    END;
    /lsnrctl status - should show the new service.
    When I do this the Database will still register with the listener. I don't give that to the clients. That one will still be available but nobody knows about it. Meanwhile "ernie" moves with the database role.
    So in my example the default just hangs out in the background.

  • SBS 2008 - How to rebuild the reporting database

    I'd like to start using the inbuilt reporting facilities in SBS2008.  But when I start up the console and click on "Reports", although I am taken to the SBS2008 console's reports screen, a couple of seconds later, the following error message
    is displayed:
    "There was an error while loading data for this page".
    When I click "Close" to close the error message, I'm left looking at the console's reports screen but with nothing shown.  The top pane simply says:
    "There are no reports to display".
    So, I then click on "Add a new report" in the right-hand pane.  Nothing happens for a couple of minutes - not even an hour glass.  Eventaully, a window opens up, headed "New Report Properties".  So, I had a go at creating
    a new report, e.g.:
    - Report Name = Test123
    - Content = Summary
    - E-Mail Options = I entered my email address
    - Schedule = I set it to daily at 9pm
    When I clicked "Ok", after a couple more minutes of thinking, it came back with:
    "The report properties cannot be saved. Reopen the Report Properties dialog, and then try again."
    I don't know how to tackle this issue.  I administer the network here but don't know SQL Server - and we don't have any SQL Server applications of our own - just the inbult ones like WSUS.
    If there is a problem with the actual reporting database, I'd be happy to rebuild it, or even reinstall SQL.   But I don't know how.   My main concern is that WSUS is running beautifully and I don't want to go anywhere near anything that might
    break it.  I would rather have no reports than lose WSUS.
    Could someone point me to some step-by-step instructions aimed at someone who knows Windows Server (to an extent) and SBS2008 - but has no knowledge of SQL Server?

    I worked through the article but hit problems.  Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
    Here's what happened:
    1. I checked that SQL Server 2005 is installed and that Windows SBS Manager is installed and started
    2. I looked for "SQLServer (SBSMONITORING)" in the list of services but it is completely missing
    I then followed the section headed "If necessary, create a new SBSMonitoring database".  This takes one to another article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2011/08/22/how-to-recreate-the-sbsmonitoring-database.aspx.
    I followed the instructions, which included downloading Create-SBSMonitoringDb.ps1 and running it in an administrative Power Shell.  When I ran it, I got a load of errors.

  • How do connect to Historical Databases?

    Hi,
      please explain me what is Historical databases?
    Can u tell me how to connect to Historical databases? can we download these Database servers from net?
    - senthil

    Hi Senthil,
    You can try for RTXHDB (RTX Historical Database).
    RTX provide secured relational databases for LAN and WAN network.
    Often the use of relational database, or transaction-oriented technology, for off process historical LAN/WAN database applications, and doing unconventional operations on data.
    As an example,  It is in this area of off process historical data warehousing and retrieval that the RTXHDB (RTX Historical Database) system excels. RTXHDB processes and stores a massive flow of data for LAN/WAN database applications, which then can be retrieved with a great deal of speed and quickly turned into useful information for the PC user.

  • Why we choose to use the local database for wp8?

    I have some apps, all face the same problem, much data is saved in the runtime memory, it really bad for saving device resources. So I just would like to know if I transfer the data into the local database, is that helpful to save some more memory space,
    after all the database is built in local file and access through the isolation storage. Could anyone tell me about how to save the memory space, I am now very tired to resolve those bugs caused by out of memory...
    Help me please.

    Hi Situdana,
    Here are some scenarios.
    For instance if you have a 10MB image stored in your local database, and you would like to display. Without load the whole image to the runtime memory you cannot display the image to your user, that means in this situation, runtime memory equals more or
    less 10MB.
    Another example could be you need to find some data in a 10MB data file, if the file is structured, using SQLite can help you reduce the time to search and use less runtime memory.
    I don't know what kind of data you saving on the runtime memory, but looks like you can manually manage the memory for instance release some IDispose() driven class when you think they are un-necessary. We can only provide a really general suggestion to
    you, for more information you can ref:

  • After upgrading ACS 3.3.1 to 4.2 on windows the local database is not working

    Hi,
    I have upgaded the ACS 3.3.1 for windows server to 4.2. Everything went fine but the local database is not working.
    The CD is an upgrade kit from 3.x to 4.2 on windows. I tried to install directly the 4.2 I was able to install but integration with AD/LDAp is not working. Anysay its an upgrade kit so I cant expect it shoud work when install drectly the 4.2 but by upgrading from 3.3 to 4.2 everything should work fine.
    I followed the upgradation path as recomended.
    Also we have a requirment that once it is upgraded to 4.2 we need to shift the whole thing from the physical server to a virtual machine on VMware ESX server 3.5.

    Hi Javier,
    First of all I was facing a problem of restoring the old database of 3.3 to 4.2. Somehow I overcame that issue by following the below steps. Now local authentication is working fine but AD/other External database authentication is not working. As you told the setting for the unknown users are configured to fetch the credentials from the external database if it is not in the local database.
    Do we need to do anything in the AD itself?

    Steps for ACS upgrade to 4.2 version
    Below are the requested steps mentioned for the up gradation from ACS 3.3.2 to ACS 4.2.
            1)     Take a configuration backup from existing ACS. ACS--->System
    configuration----> ACS Backup
    2)    now if you have  ACS 3.3.2 on server. take backup of the ACS
    3)   Insert the cd or if you have the set up on the system then  Run the setup of ACS 3.3.4. During the process it will prompt you to
    upgrade existing configuration. Make sure you check that option else we will
    loose the database. Now you need to hit next.next to finish the 3.3.4 upgrade.
    4)     Once you are at 3.3.4, take a backup and keep it handy.
    5)     Run the setup of 4.1.1. During this process it will prompt you to
    upgrade existing configuration. Make sure you check that option else we will
    loose the database. Now you need to hit next.next to finish the 4.1 upgrade.
    6)Once you are at 4.1.1.24 take a backup and keep it handy.
    7)     Run the setup of 4.2. During this process it will prompt you to
    upgrade existing configuration. Make sure you check that option else we will
    loose the database. Now you need to hit next.next to finish the 4.2 upgrade.
    8)     Once you are at 4.2 take a backup and keep it handy. Now run the
    patch 12 and take a backup again.
    9)     Now fresh install 4.2 on your new production server and install patch
