Knowing service_name of my database; where to find parameter file.

To All,
I have Oracle 9i. How can I find the service_name (inorder to specify it in the tnsnames.ora) of my database..?
Also Is it possible that the name of my parameter file in the location 'H:\orawin95\admin\thomas\pfile\' be init.ora ....? ie, without the instance name as a suffix to the filename after init. Or is the parameter file in some other location...?
my oracle_home is 'H:\orawin95'
db_name is : 'thomas'
instance name is : 'toms'
thanks in advance

service name is nothing but your tnsname or the string you connect to the database from a client machine. Look into your tnsnames.ora file or to create one, use network configuration assistant.
You can have init file with suffixing its instance name, but, it would be good for administration purpose in the multi-instance, spefically, oracle. You can also keep the init.ora file in any directory that you need, the only thing is that you need to specify the file location when starting your database with pfile parameter with startup command.

  • How to know whether the current database is using a password file or not?

    How to know whether the current database is using a password file or not?

    The remote_password_file is the parameter that determines if you can use or not a password file. The values this parameter can have are NONE, SHARED, EXCLUSIVE. It is pretty obvious, if it is set to either SHARED or EXCLUSIVE the oracle instance has enabled the access through a password file for the SYSDBA and SYSOPER roles.

  • Where's my parameter files

    I have the oracle installed on Windows. If I use 'startup;' command to start the database without specifying a parameter file, is there a default pfile or spfile used to start it?
    I noticed that on OEM, there are some parameters I can change, or I can use Alter system set... command to alter some parameters, but are those changes written to a parameter file?
    If there is a default parameter files, where is it put? Under 'Oracle HOme\admin\myInstanceSID\pfile', I did find a parameter file, 'init.ora.982004131510', but it was not used for sure when I used 'startup;'.

    Hello There,
    If you have installed 9i database with default options then the database server is using spfile. So if you make any changes then they are going to spfile and not in pfile until you set your scope for pfile.
    In my opinion you should change that funny number pfile to initdb.ora and then try to startup the db using startup pfile=<pfile path> command.
    You can create new pfile from spile and vice versa using this command.
    create pfile from spfile (check the syntax).
    and then start the database using new pfile and remove the spfile, so that database will start using pfile next time you reboot the system or start the db.
    Cheers

  • Where 2 find java file that implements the subscription email notification?

    Hello KMC Gurus,
    I saw a reply of Patricio linking to an article relating to "How to customize mail notifications?".
    In that article I was able to see how to change the XML & XSL files and their locations.
    Can anybody tell me where to find this java/class file relating to this mail notifications?
    FYI, the link to the article is as below

    I've just installed JAVA into my computer.
    Then I found a folder called "Java 1.4.2 SDK" or
    something like that. but in the folder there wasn't
    any .exe file to run JAVA, os i would like to know how
    do i run JAVA after i installed it?
    Also i am runnung Java in Windows XP with SP1
    I think those information might help.Follow this link and do what it says. Generally, you do not need an IDE to run java, just a text editor and a DOS prompt :)

  • Using Third-Party jar file in database; Where to put license file?

    Hi!
    I have a third-party product that has a .jar file that references some .so files. I have successfully loaded the .jar file and the .so files are being called successfully, but when the program gets to the part where it reads the third-party license file, it is failing (ORA-3113 and an hs_err_pid<12345>.log and udump file are created. I know the issue is the location of the license file because I am getting the same exact error when I run it outside of the database. (I have been able to run it successfully outside of the database.)
    The instructions for the third-party product say to put the license file in the application's runtime directory.
    What I can't figure out is this: What is the application's runtime directory when I am running the code in the database?
    I thought it would be user.dir which is set to $ORACLE_HOME, but putting the license file there didn't work. I have tried lots of other places under $ORACLE_HOME.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Laurel

    Hi Laurel:
    Whether or not you can read the license file, sure you will have problem then when trying to load your .so file.
    Java JNI call are not allowed inside OJVM for security reasons, see Kuassi's answer to a similar question:
    Access Berkeley DB from Java Stored Procedure

  • Configuring Oracle Payments Sample Servlet-where to find configuration file

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle EBS R12.1.3. We are configuring Oracle Payments Sample Servlet as per below mentioned steps
    1. Add the alias statement to the configuration file of the servlet zone you wish the sample servlet to run as specified in the orion-web.xml file which is in the following directory:
    $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/application-deployments/oacore/html/
    Alias statement->
    servlet.oramipp_lop.code=oracle.apps.iby.bep.loop.LoopBackServlet
    Note: This line should already be in the properties file after you
    have installed Oracle Payments. You only need to verify that it
    exists.
    2. In the same configuration file, provide the following servlet zone-wide parameters listed in the table below, which are set by a statement of the form servlet.default.initArgs=.
    Zone-Wide Parameters
    Parameter Example Value Description
    errorfile tmp/error.log Debug file used to write errors and stack traces.
    debugfile tmp/debug.log Log file used to write debugging messages.
    debug true, false Turns debugging on or off.
    Where can I find configuration file and properties file to make change?

    I Post here just in case someone may need it:
    As root user:
    gedit /etc/bash.bashrc
    at the end of the file insert (eg. /opt is where JDK directory is installed):
    JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_06
    CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar
    PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
    export JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH PATH

  • Where to find .jar files so I can implement import java.util.logging

    I'm trying to figure out how to take an application built for Websphere and port it to WebLogic. I've come across this blog entry http://blogs.sun.com/fkieviet/entry/using_java.util.logging_in_bea_weblogic and would like to try creating and using the startup class.
    I have not been able to find the correct jar files.
    import weblogic.common.T3ServicesDef;
    import weblogic.common.T3StartupDef;
    import weblogic.logging.LoggingHelper;
    In reading the documentation on using the NonCatalogLogger APIs at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/i18n/writing.html I also see some code calling for the following imports
    import weblogic.jndi.Environment;
    import weblogic.logging.NonCatalogLogger;
    1. Does anyone know where I can grab these?
    2. There must be a strategy for finding these .jars that people use. If so, what is it?

    I thought I understood you, but the more I look at what you've set here, I'll just be honest and admit that the I don't know what you are saying here:
    'You should be able to add the "weblogic.jar" in the WebLogic distribution to your classpath.' - What doe this mean?
    1. Go to my xxxWeb app Dynamic Web Project and right-click and select Build Path / Configure Build Bath / Libraries - Select Add external JARS and navigate to the weblogic.jar
    2. Go to my xxxWeb app Dynamic Web Project and right-click and select Build Path / Configure Build Bath / Libraries - Select Add Library and try to go from there?
    3. Go to my xxxWeb app Dynamic Web Project and right-click and select Build Path / Configure Build Bath / Libraries - Select Add Variable and try to go from there?
    4. Go to my xxxWeb app Dynamic Web Project and right-click and select Build Path / Configure Build Bath and do something else?
    5. Something else?
    Also, I don't know what you mean here:
    'You don't need to (and you shouldn't) copy that jar file, just have it in your compilation classpath. It will be present automatically at runtime.'
    Sorry for being so simple here but I've been trouble shooting why I can't follow what look like pretty simple steps to implement over-riding the ApplicationLifecycleListener Class to use existing java.util.logging.Logger code by adding the following to the the weblogic-application.xml:
    <wls:listener>
         <wls:listener-class>com.qualcomm.weblogic.log.listener.UtilLogWrapper</wls:listener-class>
    </wls:listener>
    And including as a referenced jar file, a simple POJO class instance of com.qualcomm.weblogic.log.listener.UtilLogWrapper.
    My resrouces for this are:
    1. http://blogs.sun.com/fkieviet/entry/using_java.util.logging_in_bea_weblogic.
    2. http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/drolet-ant.html.
    Maybe my weblogic.jar is at the root of the problem.
    I hope you can 'dumb this down' for me with a simple explanation of steps to do what you outlined above.

  • Where to find WSDL files in CRMOD R18

    I am having trouble finding the WSDL downloads in the latest version of CRMOD (R18) In the past they were available by clicking Admin and then they were in the bottom left corner. The docs say they should be there as well: https://secure-ausomxdsa.crmondemand.com/docs/1.12.0.1220.0.00/enu/help/index.htm?toc.htm?webservinteghelp.html
    could this be because my account is a demo account (as far as i know it is, the top links along the right say demo support):
    * Demo Support
    * Admin
    * My Setup
    * Deleted Items
    * Help
    * Sign Out

    Possible because it is a Demo account. I am looking at R18 now and they are still in the same place

  • Where to find video files in Time Machine?

    I'm still not figuring all of this out apparently. Hours later I have backed up my computer onto an external HD via Time Machine.  I wanted to check & be sure my videos are on there before I delete some from my hard drive & when I use finder to open Time Machine (the external HD), I cannot find anywhere in there that there are video files or even all of my (1000+) photos from Iphoto... where would these be listed? I don't see titles of the programs or folders called video or photo or pictures or anything along those lines. I even did a search of the drive for .mov and got nothing....
    Help!

    You should never, NEVER use Finder to view or manage files on a Time Machine back-up.
    With the Time Machine drive mounted, click the Time Machine icon at the top menu bar. Amongst the choices that come up is, "Enter Time Machine". A "Finder-like" set of windows hovering in outer space will open with your back-ups layered by date of the backup (shown below). Once you navigate to (using the big silver arrows), find the date you want, click on the folder icon in the window that will navigate your way to the file(s) you want to see, or restore.
    At that point you can "see" whether the files you wanted to check on are there. You can also restore any files you wish to do so, by highlighting (clicking a file or folder), then hit the "Restore" button at the bottom right of the window.
