Is database link only 'valid' for instances in the same server?

Background: We have 5 servers and installed Oracle 7.3 and 8.
Problem: I managed to create database link to other instance in same server; but not to other server. Error message received was :
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
: TNS server name not found
BUT: I managed it with 'copy from ' command in SQL*plus.
Question: Is database link only 'valid' for instances in the same server?
Thanks! ;o)

Hi,
We are planning to install second instance of Oracle 11gR2 in Linux server 2.6.39-400.21.1.el6uek.x86_64 x86_64. This is something we never haven done before. If you have such experience, please give us some insight.
The existing instance has all the standard ports:
Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=)(PORT=1521))
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (pterpdb02) = 1158
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (pterpdb02) = 3938
What ports should we select for second listener and enterprise manager? Is there anything else that we need to know before we install the second instance?If you want a second database instance, no additional installation is required - as long as you want to run the second instance at the same version as the the first. Just fire up dbca and create the second database. One installation of Oracle (one ORACLE_HOME) is capable of supporting many database instances, though the same may or may not be said of the hardware it is running on.
As already said, one listener is enough. One listener, running from one oracle home, using the default name of LISTENER, running on the defualt port of 1521, is quite capable of -- indeed, WAS DESIGNED TO, supporte multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple ORACLE_HOMEs.
One instance of dbcontrol/dbconsole will support only one database. If you do not use Grid Control (extra installation, extra license) you will need to use the emca utility or one of the options in the dbca utility to configure a seperate instance of dbcontrol for each database. Don't worry about the ports, the creation utility will take care of it and report what it does.

I need to change from Japan App Store to Australia App Store. I get this every time I try using My MacID: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." What next TY. JohnCahill

I moved from Japan to Australia. I need to change from Japan App Store to the Australian App Store. I get the following message every time I try using My MacID which was set up in Japan: "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Japanese iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store." At one point... by which path I do not remember... I was instructed to created a new ID. I fill out the new ID forms, but the address is rejected each time... quite confusing. Does it want a new name? But it says I cannot use an apple domain (tag?) even though I guess it has to be an apple address... ? So I have iTunes crdit cards purchansed in Australia, can't spend in AUstralian iTunes Store, get directed back to Japan each time, and can't open a new ID... What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance. John. Australia.

You must have a separate Apple ID registered in the other store along with a valid bank-issued charge card in the other country, and a legal billing address in the other country.
Sorry... But... You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country..

"This Apple ID is only valid for purchase in the US store" and I'm in the PH?

Hi! So originally my Billing Info was set in the US and today I wanted to upgrade my MBP to OS ML. I'm in the PH now so I changed my Billing Info and set it to my address here in the Philippines, but everytime I hit that "Buy App" button in the App Store and log in, I'm always taken to my Billing Info and even though I already changed my account info, the address that's displayed there is still the US one. I tried to change the country numerous times and set it to PH, but I always get the message saying my Apple ID is only valid for purchase in the US. I'm taken to the US store afterwards, and after I hit "Buy App" the same thing happens over and over again.
I've been trying to figure this out for over an hour now. What else can I do?

Try contacting the App Store support folks - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
I sort of understand what's going on, but not sure why you weren't able to rectify the problem. Maybe the support folks can help.

"This code is only Valid for customers of the USA Store.", "This code is only Valid for customers of the USA Store."

I get this error message when redeeming an app from the apple "Aproved" website "Appexchanger" which is when you check out free apps and get credits to get paid apps, but i am in canada and everytime i go to redeem one i get "This code is only valid for customers of the USA Store." i think this is unfair because ive done what theve asked and theres nothing on the site that says "US ONLY" and the people who made it wont even contact me back! Please help i just want some apps!

Just FYI, Appexchanger is not "approved" by Apple in any way that I can detect. Apple does not appear to have any connection of any sort with that company other than as a customer.
This company looks to me to be nothing more than a way to harvest email addresses and other content information to sell to other companies, getting you onto all sorts of spam lists. I don't for one minute believe their claim that they won't sell your information (and if they don't, it's s good bet at least one if nor more of the developers will). But in any case, as Jay said, any problems or issues you may have with that company will have to be taken up with them. This is not an Apple issue.

When you move to Portugal (very nice, I've just come back from visiting Cascais/Sintra/Sines ) I think you'll just get re-directed to Portuguese iTunes. When I moved to France from the UK I got re-directed to the French store.
To view UK programmes in France I used to subscribe to a VPN server through https://www.my-private-network.co.uk/ (there are others, but very pleased with their service). The catch-up channels (iPlayer, etc) think you're in the UK so you can watch the programmes online. Wouldn't work with iTunes UK store though .

Your account is only valid for purchases in the USiTunes...

"Your account is only valid for purchases in the US iTunes store. Clicking will take you to this store"
First... I don't want to go to that store. I want the German store.
I get the above message whenever I try to buy or download anything from iTunes lately. As far as I can tell, all my addresses are set up for Germany where I live and I'm doing it German (language) but something is continuing to trick iTunes into thinking that my account is U.S. based.
Guess that leads to another question... do I need to have a U.S. account and a German account? If so, when did this B.S. start? Why does it matter where I am, especially if I want to buy a program or download a free one?
Anyway, I'm obviously aggrivated about this.
Thanks for any help. Also, I tried searching the forums but couldn't find a thread.

With further searching I FINALLY got through Apples stupid billing/location system and got myself placed in Germany. Now, everything works well. I still think it's way overcomplicated having 3 or 4 different places to change addresses. Why not do one with a pull-down country system and leave it at that?

"This Apple ID is only valid for use in the Canadian Store." - but I'm in Canada!

I just restored my iPad, and am using a new Apple ID on it, that I just created.
When I try to download apps from the App Store, I get the following notice: "This Apple ID is only valid for use in the Canadian Store."... but I live in Canada!
I checked in Settings > General > International > Region Format, and it does indeed say Canada. I also checked my region from within my Apple ID account, and it also says Canada.
I'm at a loss here guys, can anyone shed some light on how to rectify this situation?
Thanks!
PS: I also should mention that before I restored my iPad, I didn't have this problem. Only with the new Apple ID.

You do have a credit card with a Canadian billing address registered to the new account do you not? In other words, you are not trying to use a credit card with a U.S. billing address are you?

This apple id is only valid for purchases in the australian itunes store. I'M BRITISH!

PLEASE READ
So my mum just bought a phone today, she's not really a techy person so she bought a cheap iPhone 3GS and she asked me to set it up for her.
I made a new email address for her and made an Apple ID for her. I just verified the email for her with Apple and it opened my iTunes and a message popped up and it said "This apple id is only valid for purchases in the australian itunes store. You will be switched to that store".
I don't know why this has happened, i've used mine for my iPhone for ages and that's had no problems.
We live in the UK and we always have, so why's it saying this?
Any help please?
Thank you.

WOW, OK. I just changed my country to UK. And now i'm entering my mums bank stuff, and the address already there is someone in australia. Earlier on it said that my mums email (that i made 10 mins before) already exists. So i reset the password. So how can there be 2 email addresses that are the same? I'm lost!
I'm just gonna make a whole new email with a whole new apple id! No more hotmail for me.

"only valid for customers of the U.S. store"...but I AM in the US

I have been unable to redeem iTunes Starbucks "Pick of the Week" cards due to error message above. I think this started since I took a weekend trip to Canada and used my Canadian friend's wireless connection. But even with AirPort tuned off (I have a wired connection at home here in the US), I still get this error when I try to redeem at the iTunes Store (error: "only valid for customers of the U.S. store".) The only other recent change to my Mac is upgrading to Snow Leopard.
Is there a iTunes prefs I can delete or something?

Do you have the *US iTunes Store* selected at the bottom of the main iTunes Store screen?

Not really an option. It was an e-mail and a spacific album that was gifted.

Can you run multiple APEX listeners for different instances on the same server

Please confirm that we can run multiple APEX listeners for different instances on the same server? Is it an xml setup configuration or do we need to do more??

Two instances on the same server

I've already created one instance on 11g R2 database, but I was told to create another instance on the same server. Can I use the same listener for both instance? Will it cause any problem?
Thanks!

Thanks for all your responses. I have not dealt with two instances on the same server before. I'll take your advice to start with the same listener for both instances and see if it is causing any issue. My database server is a Oracle Sparc 5120 with plenty of memory and disk space. The second instance that I'm going to create will be much smaller than the first one.
Single or multiple listeners aren't really a factor for performance. Notice that even in Dan's remarks, none of his reasons for multiple listeners had anything to do with performance.
Question, is it easy to create/configure the second listener to point to the second instance? Just in case there is an issue using the same instance.
The listener doesn't "point to" the database - not in the sense you seem to think. It simply watches the ports it is configured to use (1521 by default) for connection requests from clients. When it gets a request it evaluates whether or not it knows about the service (instance) requested, and if it does it spawns a separate server processes to communicate between the client and the db instance, then is out of the way. The listener creates the connection but does not sustain it. You can stop a listener and all existing connection will continue because the listener has no part in maintaining them.
Multiple listeners would be configured by adding LISTENER sections to the listener.ora file. You might find it instructive to realize that if there is no listener.ora, a 'lsnrctl start' will cause a default named listener to start on the default port of 1521. By default, any db instances on that server will register themselves with the default listener on the default port. After this self-registration, the listener will know about the instance if/when it receives any connection requests for it. Let's switch from the telephone analogy to that of a desk clerk at a hotel. He comes to work and is handed a piece of paper that says "We have Tom, Dick, and Harry registered as guests" This would be analogous to the listener learning of instances via the SID_LIST section of the listener.ora file. Then Fred walks up and says "I'm Fred and I'm in room 238", so the clerk makes a note of that. This would be analogous to the instance registering itself to the listener. Either way, then someone walks up and says "Where would I find Tom (or Fred)". The clerks checks his lists and directs the person to the correct room. He doesn't escort the person around to Tom and act as a go-between for their conversation. And hotel management doesn't want to have to pay a separate clerk for each guest.
You might want to read my articles about TNS in general at edstevensdba.wordpress.com. I think they will help you get a clearer understanding.

Dbconsole with multiple instances on the same server?

Hi!
I have a LINUX server running 2 separate instances - csp1 and csp2. I have a repository in csp1 and the dbconsole running for csp1. Now I need to find out if / how I can get the dbconsole running for the csp2 instance. This is Oracle standard edition 10.2.0.4. Both instances share the same Oracle Home and Listener. A second Oracle Home has the companion CD (http server) installed in it and has no instances associated with it.
Does anyone have information on how to do this? Here are some of my questions:
1) Do I need separate repositories for each instance or can the repository in csp1 be used for both instances?
2) Can the ports be shared or do I need to assign new port #'s for the 2nd instance? How / where do I do this?
Any hints, tips, suggestions, etc. are greatly appreciated!
Dave Venus

1) Do I need separate repositories for each instance or can the repository in csp1 be used for both instances?
Yes, in the free version of EM in 10g ie DB console,that's the restriction. You can't use it for more than one database. It has to be done explicitly for that another database whom you want to manage via it. So as per the answer, yes you do need a seperate repository for your second db. The other db will be in the same Oracle home and surely its em repository can work with the existing listener.But it does require its own set of config files which will be in a sperate folder under Oracle Home with its sid.
2) 2) Can the ports be shared or do I need to assign new port #'s for the 2nd instance? How / where do I do this?
As I mentioned in my last reply, you wouldn't be able to share the port that is already in use. You do need to have a seperate port configured. Normally when you would install the repository oracle would pick up itself a port number. The valid port range , if I remember correctly is from 5500 onwards ( I don't remember the last limit). Even afterwars, you can change the port using "emca" command.
Edit:
I forgot to mention that some time back, here on the forums, I had a discussion with a guy who mentioned that there is a workaround possible to add a target in the current Targets.xml for the second database. I did try it out but still that didn't give me two instances. The most recent one which I added only was accessible.
Update:
I did find that thread,here it is. See if this helps you,
