IP Address/ Machine Name

Is the IP Address / Machine Name of the machine on which Oracle is installed is stored somewhere in the database also so that we can query it get it.
If yes where.
Thanks in Advance

short answer is no.
But you can query it from the OS. I answered a similar question about querying the OS variable on
thread. Just replace "env" by "hostname" in
Re: Using Operating System Environment Variables in SQLPLUS
To get the IP, you can then do something like "host <hostname>".
If you run the sqlplus script on the server, you can use my second method on the same thread, that is :
SQL> host echo def ip=`sed -n "s/^$[0-9.]*$[^0-9.].*\`hostname\`.*/\1/p" /etc/hosts` > /tmp/320367.sql
SQL> host echo def hostname=`hostname` >> /tmp/320367.sql
SQL> @/tmp/320367
SQL> prompt hostname=&hostname ip=&ip
hostname=dbsrv85a.ex.zkb.ch ip=147.50.59.167

Ping machine name returns machine.Home and incorrect IP address

I have a small home network (5 machines) with the E8350 (AC2400) and an ActionTec modem PK5001A from Centurylink. I put the router in Automatic Configuration - DHCP mode. The modem WiFi is disabled. The network appears to function properly except for the fact that when I ping some machines on my network they return an incorrect IP address like below. All machines are running Windows 8.1 Pro and have all the latest updates. As you can see the machine name is suffixed with .Home and the IP address is to somewhere in Colorado; I'm in Washington state.
C:\>ping machinename

C:\>
IP address is actually 192.168.1.100
What can cause this problem and how do I correct it?

Below is a list of some things that stick out after analyzing you ipconfig post:
Your adapter is set to bridging "Ethernet adapter Network Bridge"; why?
The adapter has a DNS server "205.171.3.25"
The DNS Suffix Search List is set to: Home; which in itself isn't an issue useless a DNS server has that domain in it's records
The DNS server "205.171.3.25" actual responds for the domain "home":
The nslookup command below:
C:\Users\chad>nslookup
Default Server: OpenWrt.lan
Address: 192.168.200.1
> server 205.171.3.25
Default Server: redirect1.qwest.net
Address: 205.171.3.25
> home
Server: redirect1.qwest.net
Address: 205.171.3.25
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: home
Addresses: 198.105.254.23
198.105.244.23
>
Solutions:
Remove DNS entry for 205.171.3.25
Disable bridging on the adapter (AFAIK it's not required or recommended)
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Finding Session Info (Machine name and IP address)

All,
I have a procedure that was called by an applition about three days ago. The issue is I want to determine the IP address of the application server that called the procedure.
We did not turn on auditing but the issue looks more like an unautorised call to the procedure and thats why we are more interested in th IP / machine name.

Perhaps you are looking something like this ->

Get Machine Name and IP Address from Air Flex App

New to Air..... Is there a way to get the name of the machine
and the ip address for the client running the Air application? Not
that this matters, but the applcation would be a Flex 3 application
built specifically to be deployed to the Air runtime. I need to be
able to have the Air/Flex application know what the client's
machine name and ip address is. Can this be done?
Thanks

Hi Frank,
Well I am using Developer Suite 10g Release (10.1.2.0.2) ..I've gone thru the link what you have sent me and noticed that whatever updations of conf file or classpath its already there so i guess needn't to modify cause I think my release 10.1.2.0.2 has did already as webutils been bundled with it.
Well What i did is to double click on ATTACH LIBRARY and browse the location to find webutil.pll and finally attached it...even though its showing me all the procedures like clientinfo and others...
on my block's canvas I've put a button and used this trigger to get client info function like this.
when-button-pressed trigger of INFOBUTTON
DECLARE
o_clientinfo varchar2(50) := Webutil_clientinfo.GET_HOST_NAME ;
begin
message(o_clientinfo);
end;
but when I am trying to open this form its simply not showing up..strange thing is that there is no error as well...so plz kindly guide me how to get clientinfo hostname or ipaddress using that library function.
thanks

How to change All Human workflows urls in from machine name to IP Address

I've installed oracle BPM server and when I've deployed my bpm processes i've found that all human workflows URLs are maaped by machine name.
Hostname = "Machine Name" not the ip.
I know that i can go inside each task and replace the name with the ip but i have a lot of processes and a lot of human workflows.
is there any way to replace all machine name in these human workflows URLs with the server ip address. and I need the new deployments to be with the ip not machine name.

Wouldn't it be easier to add the machine name to the dns server or the servers hosts file?
What do you do if the IP of the host changes?
Have you looked into the deployment plan? That's the location to change such things when deploying applications.

Database creation: use machine name instead of ip address.

I am creating a new database using the Database Configuration Assistant. After the install, it tells me that the EM can be approached through http://192.168.198.128:1158/em. However, since the ip-address is dynamic, i'd prefer to refer to the machine name instead of the ip address. During the setup I could not see where to change this.

Rick

Thanks for your replies, I will try that. Version info: 10.2.0, on a Windows Server 2k3. The server runs in a virtual machine, which is pretty much the root of the problem: it tends to change ip addresses when restarting it. I will now install the loopback adapter and see what happens.
Edited by: user10064100 on 8-dec-2008 7:48Ah, a server on a virtual machine. Why didn't you say that in your initial posting? I would think that would be much different situation than the usual 'changing ip' configuration of placing a sandbox database on a DHCP desktop or laptop machine...
I don't have any experience with VM's, so I'll leave that to those that do. At the least, I'd expect the loopback adapter to not necessarily be your solution. That's for the assumptions that I clearly stated in my first response. If those assumptions don't match your situation (and it is now clear that they don't) then you need consider that before taking any advice based on those assumptions.

How to check client machine IP address or Machine name

I'm trying to check the client machine's IP address to restrict the unauthorised login in unassigned workstation. Any body know how to get the IP address of client machine? Is there any built in function to get it. I'll appreciate if you could send me email. Thanks.

Hi,
with the following statement you can get your pc's machine name:
SELECT UPPER(USERENV('TERMINAL'))
FROM DUAL;
Be careful that, if you are dealing with a web envinronment, the outcome will be the Forms Server machine name.

How to get client machine name and IP address

Hi,
In my office I have one SERVER which has FORMS & Report Server installed and all the clients are accessing that application thru the following URL :
http://OraServer:8889/forms/frmservlet
to get the machine name I have read into a global variable like this
SELECT USERENV('TERMINAL' ) into :global.clientname FROM DUAL;
but obviously all the time its returning the SERVER machine name...not the name where client is accessing the program....so how can I get the client machine name..
thanks

Hi Frank,
Well I am using Developer Suite 10g Release (10.1.2.0.2) ..I've gone thru the link what you have sent me and noticed that whatever updations of conf file or classpath its already there so i guess needn't to modify cause I think my release 10.1.2.0.2 has did already as webutils been bundled with it.
Well What i did is to double click on ATTACH LIBRARY and browse the location to find webutil.pll and finally attached it...even though its showing me all the procedures like clientinfo and others...
on my block's canvas I've put a button and used this trigger to get client info function like this.
when-button-pressed trigger of INFOBUTTON
DECLARE
o_clientinfo varchar2(50) := Webutil_clientinfo.GET_HOST_NAME ;
begin
message(o_clientinfo);
end;
but when I am trying to open this form its simply not showing up..strange thing is that there is no error as well...so plz kindly guide me how to get clientinfo hostname or ipaddress using that library function.
thanks

How to use "machine name" in new report vi?

I have a computer on a network that has Microsoft excel installed. On another computer I have an application that will take an excel file and stuff a bunch of data from a database into specific cells to generate a report. The vi works fine on my computer (where excel is loaded locally) but when I try and run the VI and access excel remotely I get an error message as follows:
Error -41106 occurred at NI_Excel.lvclass:new report subVI.vi -> NI_report.lvclass:New Report.vi -> printTestSheet.vi
Possible reason(s):
Report Generation Toolkit: Microsoft Word or Excel did not open. Make sure Microsoft Word or Excel is installed.
Error -41106 occurred at NI_Excel.lvclass:new report subVI.vi -> NI_report.lvclass:New Report.vi -> printTestSheet.vi
Possible reason(s):
Report Generation Toolkit: Microsoft Word or Excel did not open. Make sure Microsoft Word or Excel is installed.
I have included the ip address of the remote machine to the "machine name" input of the "New Report" vi.
Any suggestions/solutions?

Hi Gerry,
One reason that you may get this error is if Distributed COM wasn't enabled on the remote machine. See this Microsoft KB for how to check or enable that functionality.
If that doesn't help; let me know, and I'll try to setup a similar test case on my end. The process isn't well documented, and I haven't seen any existing examples, so I'd like to see what it takes to get it running.
All the best,

Help me in creating a Device Collection - i have a list of machine name (in a excel or CSV file)

Hello Guys,
I have created a Device collection for UK region (2000+ machines)
Now i have been given a list of 1000 machines to which i need to deploy an application.
I have to create a device collection for this 1000+ machines. as an input i have a excel or CSV file with a list of machine names.
Please suggest me how can i create a device collection with CSV file as input. Is my CSV file should be in particular format.
Or is there any other way i can create a collection for this 1000 specific machines.
Please suggest.

My previous post was for sccm 2012.
here its for 2007
In the Operating System Deployment section of SCCM right click on Computer Association and choose
Import Computer Information
when the wizard appears select Import Computers using a file
The file itself must contain the information we need in this (CSV) format
COMPUTERNAME,GUID,MACADDRESS
(sample below)

if we look at the last line, I've marked the computer name in Red, the GUID in BLUE and the MAC address in GREEN, separate these values with commas as above.

the file can be a standard TEXT file that you create in notepad, and you can rename it to CSV for easier importing into our wizard...
so, click on Browse and browse to where you've got your CSV file
on the Choose Mapping screen, you can select columns and define what to do with that mapping, eg: you could tell it to ignore the GUID value (we won't however)
on the next screen you'll see a Data Preview, and this is useful as it will highlight any errors it finds with a red exclamation mark, in the example below a typo meant that it correctly flagged the MAC address as invalid
so edit your CSV file again and fix the error, click previous (back) and try again
Next choose the target collection where you want these computers to end up in
review the summary
in SCCM collections, we can now see the computers we've just imported from File,
Enjoy

Custom Prompt sometimes shows wrong Machine Name

I set up a custom command prompt in my .bash_profile to show the machine name. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
The command:
export PS1='\[\033[0;32m\]\h \W\$ \[\033[0m\]'
Sometimes it shows
lud610wxp-sales rfreedman$
Sometimes it shows
qaimac rfreedman$
This is correct
I see the same behavior on other systems although the wrong machine name is different.

If you're on a network, the hostname for the prompt is set by performing a reverse DNS lookup of your IP address. Often an old entry will be listed in the reverse DNS table before the current one, and its name will be used instead of the correct one. You can manually edit /etc/hostconfig if this bothers you, but it generally does not affect anything because forward DNS queries will be correct.

How to configure address-2-name mappings in Tiger Server ?

Our primary name server is Debian Linux (thank God). On this box we have address-2-name mappings file. We are using Tiger server as secondary(slave) name server. In the Secondary Zones tab, I entered zone names and their primary name server (debian). Tiger server is acting as secondary name server. But we want to create address-2-name mappings also on this server. How to do this on Tiger Server ? I tried manually creating the file. Everything worked fine. But when I open DNS GUI and added a new Secondary Zone, manually added file is gone. Appreciate any help.

Secondary zones are pulled from a master server.
If you want this machine to have its own zone of hostnames you need to create a primary zone entry, not a secondary zone.
For the primary zone you define the zone name then add the appropriate hostname entries with their corresponding IP addresses.

OBIEE Analytics URL with fully qualified machine name

Hi All,
I have issue with analytics URL, Analytics URL works fine if it is in this form: [<machine-name>:9704/analytics], but for EBS integration purpose, i need to give fully qualified name like:
[<machine-name>.<domain-name>.<com>:9704/analytics]. It is displaying a note saying:
"you are not currently signed in to Oracle BI Server
If you have already signed in, your connection might have timed out, or a communications or server error may have occured"
Should i do anything extra, to access analytics via fully qualified machine name.
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, the problem was with IP Address entry i gave in hosts file.
For linux the convention was: <IP Address> <space> <host-name.domain-name.com> <space> <host-name>
I followed the same convention for windows which resulted in this error, for windows it is simply:
<IP Address> <space> <host-name.domain-name.com>
After i corrected this in hosts file, this error was not coming.
Thanks,
