Issue with Creating Database

When I right Click and make a new connection then on the new connection screen I write my Connection Name - Username - Password - save password and just change the SID to "orcl" , but when I click test I get this error:
"Status: Failure - Test failed: Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505; TNS: listener does currently know of SID given in connection descriptor"
Therefore I can't make a new connection. Could anyone help please.

You need to use whatever name you gave your database.
In a command window, try "lsnrctl status" to see what SIDs/Services are available.
Or check the WIndows Services. There should be something called "OracleService<SID>"
Also make sure your database is up and registering with the listener.

  • Oracle Discoverer 4i (portal db - oracle 8i) connectivity issue with 11g database

    Hi All
    We have oracle discoverer 4i with portal db (oracle 8i).
    We connect to the external databases using db links in the portal db and the reports will use the db link to retrieve the data from views in the external databases.
    External databases we were connecting is oracle 10g version and now we have upgraded these databases to 11g version.
    Now i have a created a new db link to this 11g database and i have created a new EUL in portal to connect to this 11g database.
    But when i try to create a report using the discoverer from this new EUL after login to the discoverer we get a "cannot connect to database" error.
    We have all the necesscary privilege to the user and the new database link works perfectly fine. (when we try to query directly using SQL plus from portal database using this db link the query works perfectly fine).
    Im not sure if this is a compatibility issue in connecting from oracle disc 4i to a 11g database.
    Can any one advise if this is the case and if there is any workaround for this?
    Regards,
    Raj

    Are you saying you are having issues with a database link between 8i and 11g (pl post exact versions to 4 digits) ? If so, it should be expected as database links between these two versions are not supported. Is there a reason you cannot upgrade the portal database to at least 10gR2 ?

  • .Issue with creating a photo book in Iphoto error message states some frames are missing images, but I've checked each one and from I can see they are all filled in. It won't let my buy the book though

    Having an Issue with Creating a photo Book in Iphoto. I continue to get an error message when clicking on "Buy Book" The error indicates that I'm missing a frame or frames from the book. I've checked this many times and cannot locate the issue. The book appears to be complete from my perspective. What can I do now? I worked very hard on this and would hate to lose it all.

    How did you check the book? Did you preview it?
    See:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    Is that the message?
    "your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can buy this book."
    The most common reason for this error is, that you have used a page layout that needs a background photo and you have not yet added the backdrop. Then the book is still showing some default grayscale image.
    Check, if one of your page layouts is using this background:
    Then you need to add a photo to the background of the page.

  • Issue with changing database location at runtime

    I am having a similar issue to:
    Re: Issue with changing database location at runtime
    where I am using Crystal Reports 2008 SP 3 fix pack 3.3 and a OLE DB connection to a SQL 2008 R2 server. Running on a computer on the network where the report can see the original development server is fast, other computers where that server is not available are hanging 20 seconds before coming up.
    I am using the same code from the Crystal Sample app to change the connection on each table. I found that the slowness comes the first time the ReportDocument object is accessed to get the collection of database tables, before the connection info is set.
    Fix pack 3.4 was mentioned in that post.  Does fix pack 3.4 fix that issue? I don't see fix pack 3.4 on the downloads page (https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm)

    I just found on the reports that were having the issue there was a SQL Expression.  Per this thread:
    Re: Report load is slow after changing database servers
    There was an issue with that and the fix is not out til the end of Feb so I found a way not to use the SQL Expression and the speed is much better.
    However, your information provided led me to this post:
    Cannot Change Table Location, but Only for One Report
    And I am also experiencing an issue where the table location is not changing on one subreport and I will look into that as a possible solution.
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • Issue with Creating Forecast Profiles/Forecasting

    Hello Experts,
    We are facing an issue with creating forecast profiles.
    We have two FYVs defined in our system, one with 52/53 fiscal weeks (Fiscal Variant W1) and the other with 12 fiscal months (FYV M1), Our storage buckets profile (STP) uses W1,  since we have many dataviews that use W1 as the FYV in the attached Planning buckets profile(PBP). We also have dataviews that display in fiscal months (use FYV M1 in the attached PBP), data from Fiscal weeks will be aggregated and shown in Fiscal months . We need to do forecasting using FYV M1, that is forecast in Fiscal Months , but since the storage bucket profile has W1 which is used in the Planning Area config. We are unable to create any Forecast profiles with FYV M1 . Please note that we cannot use M1 in STP because when we used M1 in STP, we could not create  dataviews in fiscal weeks (using W1)
    1. Is there any way we can forecast using M1 while having assinged W1 to the Planning area/STP ?
    2. OR we are willing to assing M1 to PA, provided we can use W1 in some of the dataviews, unfortunately we were unable to do this, though the vice versa is possible i,e. we could have W1 in STP and M1 in some of the related PBPs/ Weekly Dataviews.
    Please let me know if any of these are possible or if there is any alternative way to do forecasting in Fisc Months.
    Thanks
    Tej

    Hi,
    You are correct, the Storage bucket profile always has to be at a detailed level. Time bucket profile can be at higher levels like monthly, quarterly etc.,
    Coming to the root of your problem, which is you are unable to forecast at a level other that what is specified in your Storage bucket profile, unfortunately the answer is no.
    You can do a forecast only at the level at which the data is stored and not at the level at which the data is viewed.
    One work around for this is to create an additional planning area with the same MPOS and this addl PA can contain only those bare minimum KF required for your forecast. After you generate your forecast, you can copy it to your Weeks based PA and then proceed from there. This copy of KF between PA is much faster as it will happen at LC level and should not cause time delays.
    NOTE - You have to exercise caution when you are using 2 periodicities i.e., weeks and months, if you are using standard SAP calendar then you are good to go. If you are creating custom Fiscal variants pls ensure the start and end of a month is same in both the weekly and monthly variants. Failing which, there will be mismatch of data between the two dataviews.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Issue with creating List of Values in Business View Manager

    Hi,
    Could any one help me to figure out what this issue refers to?
    When i created a List of Values in Business View Manager, it is throwing the following error!!!!
    The List of Values used by this parameter cannot be based on a Business View derived from the current Data Foundation or Business Element.
    Prior to creating LoV, i've done successfully with creating Data connection, Data foundation, Business element and Business View..
    Thanks
    Viswa

    Hi Visaw,
    Firstly,
    -->Open Repository Explorer,
    -->where you are have related DF,DC,BV,BEand LOV's
    -->Right click on LOV's -->There you can find Schedule list of values.Then schedule list of values and check if it prompts for errors.
    If you face the same problem, what is the error you are getting.
    Else try to use the LOV's and proceed further.
          -->Check whether the LOV's are pointing to the same Business View and check the Business view pointing to the same Datafoundation.
    If you are facing the same problem then try with the below steps:
    -->Try to Create a report at designer level Using then Business view
    -->Create two new parameters and select the existing parameters(LOV parameter's)
    -->Check whether it is working.
    -->If you  face the same problem ,Update the connection of Business view manager.
    Go to Database tab-->Select Set DataSource  location and update it with current Businessview Manager.
    Try this ,and let us know.

  • Issue with create user and issue with Java Development tab

    I have two issues with EP,
    1. When i login with Super Admin user, i am unable to Create any user from User Admin tab. Do i have to change the settings of the Super Admin? or is there any criteria for creating the user?
    2. How to assign any user the Java Development tab. Though i login with a super admin user i am unable to see the Java Development role and when tried to assign the role, there were no searches for that Java....

    Hi Adi,
    by default the super administrater has got all permissions. Thus you should be able to create portal users when using a user assigned to the portal group Administrators.
    In order to help you with your first question we need more information. Please describe the malfunction in detail. Have a look into the log files and post related error messages.
    Regarding your second question: You will find the java development role in PCD
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.pct.pdk/Roles/com.sap.pct.pdk.JavaDeveloper.
    If not, then you haven't installed the PDK business package in your portal.
    Go to service.sap.com, choose downloads and search the package (PDK should do it). Download the package, and deploy on your portal using SDM.
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • Issues with Creating Outlines in CS2

    I'm having an issue when a create text outlines in InDesign.  For some reason, and this only happens so far with 2 fonts, when I outline text (highlight text - click "object" - "create outlines") an extra character is added on to the end of certain words.  As far as I can see it is only happening with words that end in "t" like August and Northwest and it adds a second "t".  The two fonts I've had issues with are Bickham Script Pro and Asturias.  The major problem with this is I have clients approve their proofs, then I outline the text in preparation for printing (which is when it adds the extra character), since I'm not doing additional proofreading after the client has approved, the file makes it through printing with the extra character.  Has anyone else seen this?  I've attached an example of what it looks like, the extra character is on the word "Northwest"

    {I hate the way this forum works! I follow stuff by email, which gives no indication of post no. So, I had to click the link in your post to access the thread on the web. (...wait...) No post nos. Sign in (...wait...) go to prefs (...wait...) select Flat view and Save (...wait...)  return to forum (...wait...)  - and find that post 17 was the one I'd replied to, as the Threaded view properly indicated.}
    My point was that the text had clearly not been converted to outlines. Outlines had been created from the text and added to the file, and that is what displays, but the text is still there - otherwise, why would the fonts be embedded? And why would that one piece of text peep out on the right-hand side?

  • Outlook 2007 , calendar issues with creating meetings  - any ideas?

    Hi All
    My boss has a Mac and has installed office 2007. Configured Outlook to connect to our office exchange, all ok.
    Now, to book meetings we use the resources field when added someone. This is not visble in the mac version of office.
    Now, also a issues he has seen which I have witnessed, that if he creates a meeting via his Windows machine in outlook, as soon as he opens Outlook on his mac, all meetings become unbooked. They are still there, just all marked as provisional and hence what happens, he goes to the meeting, to only find the room booekd out to someone else as its only marked as provsional.
    Any ideas, anyone else seen this?
    Cheers
    Scott

    Since this is software issue with Outlook, and not one related to Macs or Mac OS, you should probably post your question on an Outlook forums:

  • BPM Studio-Issue with Creating External Resources - Oracle Database RAC

    Hi All,
    This must be an easy fix and hope you guys have an answer to it. I was having no issues connecting to a single instance database as the parameter Host = "xxx.111.200.10" for a SQL Database Oracle 10,11 driver is pointing to a single instance and the SID = "yyyyy". TNS Name entry is as below...
    xyz =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.111.200.10)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = yyyyy)
    However we have upgrade our oracle database and it is in a RAC with load balancing hence the TNS Name entry looks like this.
    xyz =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abcdh-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abcdi-vip)(PORT = 1521))
    (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
    (CONNECT_DATA =

    (SERVICE_NAME = yyyy.abcd.com)

    Hi,
    Sure you've probably tried this but here goes...
    Use the Oracle Driver that comes with Oracle BPM to integrate with RAC.
    To integrate to Oracle RAC, you're typically given something like this by the DBA.
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = atwood-vip.int.westgroup.com)(PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = kenwood-vip.int.westgroup.com)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (Service_name = bpms_pot_dev.int.westgroup.com) (SERVER = DEDICATED) ) )
    When defining the External Resource for Oracle RAC check the “Advanced” checkbox (not the tab) and insert this text into the “Database” field:
    //atwood-vip.int.westgroup.com:1521;ServiceName=bpms_pot_dev.int.westgroup.com;LoadBalancing=true;AlternateServers=(kenwood-vip.int.westgroup.com:1521)
    Hope this helps,

  • Issue with creating a text box from a loop

    I was hoping someone could take a look at this code and maybe
    help me find out why this isnt working. What I am trying to do is:
    (NOTE: I have used a few differents scripts and combined them, so
    the code may not be the greatest).
    Pull Data from a PHP file (The PHP file gets it's data from
    database)
    Then run a loop that brings in First Name, Last Name, Jersey
    Number, and Position
    Then before it loops and gets the next player it creates an
    array that creates 3 text boxes with Full Name, Jersey Number and
    position
    then it loops through the process again untill all of the
    records have been retreived.
    I'm not sure if its because I have a do while loop inside of
    a for loop inside of a function and an Array. I'm new to Arrays and
    loops. the issue is it wont display the text boxes.
    NOTE: When I trace this, the data is being retrieved.
    Thanks for the help

    "this" inside your onLoad() method refers to your loadvars
    instance, receive. and the loadvars class has no createTextField()
    method, so you're not going to create any textfields if that code
    is in the onLoad() body.
    to remedy, reference a timeline instead of receive.

  • DBMS_XMLSave issues with different databases

    This is a brainteaser...
    I have set up a couple of stored procedures in a package that inser / update and delete values in a database table using the DBMS_XMLSave functions as per the article 'Using XML-SQL Utility (XSU), 24 of 26' and re-use the context handle.
    This is being used for an ASP application and as such I am using the Oracle 8.1.7 OLEDb provider and passing the XML string as a clob to the stored procedures using a command object.
    I am now moving the application to another database in preparation for it going to staging and have come across a very interesting error. On the old database everything worked correctly, though on this new database (same IIS server) when i try to insert, update or delete on any table using the XML functions i get the following error:
    Unable to insert the details. SQL ERROR:[ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Expected name instead of ??.]
    Using the same ASP i connected to the old database and successfully ran the page, i change it to the new database and get the above error.
    However I can successfully execute the stored procedure from a command prompt (TOAD) on the new database.
    I have done some digging and found that it might have something to do with the NLS settings in the database.
    if i change the NLS registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\HOME0\NLS_LANG) from AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 on the IIS server i am running my ASP from, i can get both to return the same error though the question marks turn upside down.
    Here's an example of the sample code i am using. Note how i have to convert a CLOB to a string and back to a CLOB. This was because originally Oracle would not accept CLOBS from ASP (as the createParameter method did not really have a clob datatype but did have a longvarchar though Oracle recognises it as a clob because i can do clob operations on it. If anyone has an idea to get around this could you tell me as well?)
    Here's a snippit of the package i use
    saveCtx := DBMS_XMLSave.newContext('USER_FAVOURITE'); -- create the context once..!
         DBMS_XMLSave.setKeyColumn(saveCtx, 'FAVOURITE_ID'); -- set the key column name.
    PROCEDURE insert_XML(
    o_result OUT NUMBER,
         o_result_msg OUT VARCHAR2,
         xmlDoc in clob
    ) is
    e_processing_error EXCEPTION;
    v_processing_msg VARCHAR2(1990);
    v_result_msg      VARCHAR2(1990);
    insXML           CLOB;
    BEGIN
    -- Create a temp LOB as an input parameter
    DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(insXML,TRUE);
    -- Write the XML doc to the LOB
    DBMS_LOB.WRITE(insXML, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(xmlDoc), 1, DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(xmlDoc, 32767));
    rows := DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML(saveCtx, insXML);
    -- Free the LOB space in memory
    DBMS_LOB.FREETEMPORARY(insXML);
    END;

    XSU don't suppose to support databases other than Oracle.
