Inventory and MS Loopback Adapter problem

I have a couple hundred imaged machines that all have a MS Loopback Adapter
in addition to the NIC used for network communication. The MAC address of
the loopback is always the same. For it's purpose, it is not a problem. For
whatever reason, ZEN inventory assigns the machines an inventory storer
string with this MAC number so that each inventory replaces the last. Only
the last machine inventoried is in the DB. Is there a fix?

Apparently, the tech who deployed the machines, deployed our image to one,
inventoried it, recaptured the image, imaged the rest and deployed the
machines with the same Inventory ID. That's my guess, anyway. Only machines
deployed by this one tech, and all of the machines deployed by this tech,
have this issue. Deleting the HKLM\Software\Novell\Workstation
Manager\InvScanner key (ZEN app to remove key works fine,) setting machines
to do full inventory and re-inventorying fixes things. PitA, but it works.
All machines have the same MAC prefix on the Scan File Name but all get
unique suffix during the process. Is there any documentation on this
"hidden" part of the process?

Using MS Loopback Adapter

Hi, I am running 10g at home on Windows XP Pro. I have installed 2 network connections, one for home internet (DHCP) and another one created with Microsoft Loopback Adapter for running Enterprise Manager.
To run EM, I have to disable the DHCP connection and enable Loopback Adapter. Is there a way to be able to run EM even with both connections enabled? Thanks.

Assuming you set a specific IP address for the loopback adapter, you should be able to specify that IP address in the URL (or an entry in your hosts file that resolves to that IP address) while both connections are active.

Multicasting problem with MS Loopback Adapter

          My IBM software dispatcher requires Microsoft Loopback Adapter on my Application Servers.
          Unfortunatly, multicasting does not work with MS Loopback Adapter. I am running WebLogic
          6.1 on Windows 2000 Application Server. Is this a known problem? Has it been fixed
          in a Service Pack? Is there a way around it?
          Thanks in advance,
          Guylaine.


          Installing Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000 AS fixed the problem.

TNS-12538: TNS:no such protocol adapter, and install MS loopback adapter

Hello,
I am trying to install oracleAS Infrastructure and portal on my windows xp pc. (Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
At some point of the installation for Internet Directory Configuration Assistant, there is an error:
===========================================================
Output generated from configuration assistant "Internet Directory Configuration Assistant" (attempt 2):

===========================================================
After did some searching, I find I may need to install MS loopback adapter.
So I followed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839013 to install the MS Loopback adapter.
After I installed, When I open the Network Connetcions, I found there are two local area connetcions. One of then called local area connection 2, and it's MS loopback adapter. I got a warning for local area connection 2, it says that my pc does not have a IP address assigned, and its status is : limited or no connectivity .
I tried to repair to establish the full connection by clicking on the repair button, but the process is failed.
I also tried to run command: tnsping orcl ( orcl is my database service name ), after installed the loopback adapter.
tnsping orcl, still got this error:

Sapdb (maxdb) and jdbc adapter problem

Hi,
i have installed this jdbc file:
http://sapdb.org/7.4/sap_db_jdbc.htm
like in this how-to:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-how-to-guides/how to install and configure external drivers for jdbc and jms adapters.pdf
then i set up an jdbc to file szenario to test the adapter.
Driver is: com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.DriverSapDB
connection is: jdbc:sapdb://sapdb-host/XI_DATA
with sapdb-host is the db server and XI_DATA ist the database
user and pw is dba
sql statement is: SELECT * FROM "AAA_XI_DATA" WHERE "number" = 50
with AAA_XI_DATA is the table with test data.
the statment works in the sapdb studio. (No ; in sapdb and the XI)
but when i have a look at the runtime monitor at the af
messages there is no message genereated. where can i
check, if the jdbc driver is working and where do i find
error messages?
Regards
J.
Message was edited by: Jörg Pieper

You can check if there is some kind of error with the JDBC Adapter in the Runtime Workbench. Inside the RWB, open "Component Monitoring", "tree view", "Adapter Monitoring", and in the adapter listing you'll find the "JDBC Adapter". It should have a green light. If not, the error will be displayed.

How to configure MS Loopback Adapter in Windows 7

Hello all,
I installed SAP NetWeaver 7.02 SP06 ABAP Trial Version mainly to teach myself some
WebDynpro Programming for ABAP. Unfortunately this does not work correctly.
I created a View in a Web Dynpro Component and the Layout Preview does not work.
I activated the services suggested in
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/30129979-011c-2e10-fb9b-a60e0d704c1d&overridelayout=true
and did use the report RSICF_SERVICE_ACTIVATION with the variants
WEB DYNPRO ABAP
WEB DYNPRO ABAP DESIGN TIME
WEB DYNPRO ABAP TEST APPS.
In Addition I have set the FQDN as described in the document. I think the problem is the
MS Loopback Adapter. It is displayed with "No connection" in the Network and Sharing Center. I have no idea
how to change this. I have set the IP Adress to the on suggested in the Installation Instructions (10.10.0.10, Subnet-Mask 255.255.255.0) but the Loopback Adapter is displayed with no connection.
If I call a test webdynpro with the Hostname "localhost" it does work, so I think the webserver is running.
Any ideas ?
How do I set up the MS Loopback adapter under Windows 7 correctly ?
Thank you in advance,
Axel

Hi Axel,
Now that you know your local network works correctly for a computer not connected to internet or intranet, you have to do this:
1- For "No Connection" error (it is not necessary for the sap system to work), it's normal.
Create a local intranet with a 2nd computer if possible and make a configuration for home network after you will see "Connected"
2-Use of Pc hostname
You must configure the "profile parameters" by using transaction RZ10 and activate services (it's not easy, you have to take your time).
3- Webdynpro
To see the result of the webdynpro appli, you may know that not all web browser versions are compatible. The recent browsers don't work, use iexplorer8 or mozilla but not google ==> you will solve the problem of "timeout".
After that:
Activate the "internet communication framework" by using Transaction SICF. It takes you to "Maintain Services" and then fill Hierarchy Type ==>services, execute to reach at this step:
default_host/sap/bc/gui and icf ( If you've installed sap java, you will see both sap and sap_java)
do a mouse right click and select "Activate Service" and choose activate all.
You can now test the sample via web browser by using locahost.
Best regards.

Loopback adapter not working - can't install Oracle.

I'm attempting to install 10g on a Win XP box that is not connected to a network. Installation instructions dictate to install the MS loopback adapter before database installation. I installed it, but I can't get the loopback adapter to work. It can't find itself with ping and the 10g software won't install without it.
I'm up for a big job using Oracle and I want to upgrade my skills before I interview. This is very important to me. This may sound a bit corny, but I need to pay for a few medical bills and this job has enough of a pay raise to cover my expenses.
I don't like my current job and I love working with Oracle. Can someone please help me?

NIC Loopback Adapter

Mac friends
I am facing a problem concerning the creation of loopback adapter.Why do i need a loopback adapter???
Well my intention is to build a network lab on my imac.
The first step is to install GNS3 (Lately available in dmg package).Then we got to upload some router IOS's.So far so goodThe routers work without causing any problem to our powerful machine.
The second step is to install vmWare Fusion,which is a fantastic application to test virtual machines.Now we should install something like OS X Server or Windows Server 2003 or other OS we want to use. I did install Windows XP for network monitoring purposes...
And now the problem....How can i connect my routers to a loopback adapter in case i want to monitor my network through my mac????
Does anybody have an idea about connecting my routers to the virtual interfaces that are created through the OS intallation in vmWare????
Fellows we got excellent machines in our hands and sometimes it makes me angry the fact that i should test somethings in Windows PC's...
Any help will be acceptable....Thnx

Excellent test case, may by you should raise an SR and hope it ends up as a bug.
What happens if you "ping box01.data.local" what IP Address do you get back? You should be looking to get back the loopback address.
What happens if you do a nslookup 192.168.30.64 and 192.168.1.100?
Have you tred setting ORACLE_HOSTNAME? Not sure if this is just for the installer or not.

Loopback Adapter

Dear All,
Windows 7 Ultimate
Oracle 11g R2
I have problem with EM, it doesn't work.
I tried all possible things to solve it by Renaming oc4j folder,recreating repository and changing TZ and .... etc and still doesn't work
there is one more possible which is configuring Loopback Adapter as some DBAs suggest in forum.
Could anyone one tell me by details how can i configure Loopback adapter in order to make my EM work.
Thanks in advance.

My car wont go. I read somewhere if I put petrol in it, it will make it go. how do I put petrol in to the car? I could tell you how to put petrol into the car if you tell me you know all thats wrong is theres no petrol in it.
if you dont know what the problem is, how do you know loopback adaptor will fix it?
If you were able to say "I know the problem can be fixed by installing the loopback adaptor" then you may have a case. but I didnt get that from your first post.
anyhoo....

Loopback Adapter - No Connectivity

I installed a loopback adapter when I installed 10g (I have DHCP).
As of this morning, it say "...limited to no connectivity". I have been unable to repair it. I do have an active internet connection.
My question is: Can I simply remove that current loopback adapter and install another one?.
Thanks.

I cannot believe this...i had the same problem and was able to get beyond the installation of the loopback adapter but was unable to configure the adapter.
I have spent the last 12 hours researching this very problem...i hope with the help of fellow users that we can find the solution of this problem.
Anyhow here is what i have learned so far:
1) you can remove the loopback adapter, the steps are defined in the Oracle Database Installation Guide 10g R2 (B14316-04).
2) In the future you might do what i did...i created a Restore Point (I am using XP Pro) before installing the Loopback Adapter, so when i got stuck i simply executed the restore process and went back to a state before thr change.
This is my first take on this issue...i need to install Standard Edition One 10g
on my xp pro system.
i hope this helps!
talk to you soon!

Installed OBIEE on laptop without loopback adapter

Hello there
I have installed OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on my personal laptop which was on DHCP network and connected to Wi-Fi. However prior to installation i did not install & configure the loopback adapter. Now when i try to go out of my Wi-Fi network and its not on any network hence looses the IP address, the server fails to start correctly and throws following error 'could not get secure socket for host and port 9501'. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Regards
Ashish

According to the following note, your installation will not proceed without the loopback for DHCP:
"If you attempt to install on a Windows machine that is using DHCP, does not have a primary DNS suffix, and does not have a loopback adapter configured, then the Oracle BI installer will stop at the screen prompting for the Administrator user details. This appears as a red cross in the tree on the left hand side of the installer. This issue is caused by the installer not being able to resolve the IP address to a hostname.The workaround is to configure a loopback adapter or primary DNS suffix"
Have you tried to set up the loopback and also the etc/hosts file and re-install?
if this helps please mark the response accordingly.
