Listener blocked

Hi
When I check lsnrctl status it shows following listener blocked. How to resolve this.
Service "clon" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "clon", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "clon_XPT" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "clon", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "rman" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "rman", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

Actually I am doing rman cloning in same host. so clone instance in mount stage. When connecting to auxiliary database it shows following error.
ERROR

RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/khan@clon (khan is sysuser pwd)

ORA-12528: TNS listener BLOCKED - trying to duplicate database

Hello,
I would like to test the RMAN duplicate from active database in version 11.2.0.1.
The name of the duplicate (auxiliary) database should be "clonedb". I created a password file, spfile and added the clonedb database to tnsnames.ora. The clonedb instance is in nomount state. Tnsping clonedb is also working.
When I try to make a connection:
sqlplus 'sys/mypassword@clonedb as sysdba'
ORA-12528, Blocked, all appropriate instances are blocking new connections.
So I wonder if this could be due to the nomount state of the instance and dynamic listener configuration. Correct?
I made an entry in the listener.ora file, and it's showing "clonedb" status UKNOWN now, but I still cannot make a sqlnet connection since the dynamic listener apparently takes precedence. Can I turn off the dynamic listener configuration, but then I will loose the connection to the other databases. Do I need to make manual entries in listener.ora for all databases in order to perform RMAN duplicate?
I also tried to connect to the auxiliary clonedb instance as local target with OS authentication, but the ORA-12528 error persists. Sqlplus / as sysdba works though. Below some more info. Any ideas how to resolve the issue.
Thanks!

}can u please tell me whats wrong with my code coz i cant hear no sound when i press the play button and can u please tell me why i cant simply put the file name in the URL instead of the complete path although the files are in the same directory of the source code and can i play mp3 using this little program ???
plz help...im a newbie so plz explain as much as u can...

        musicList[6] = JApplet.newAudioClip(url6);initialise the variable current with
current = musicList[1];or similar because the AudioClip current always == null in your code so your listener blocks don`t execute.

Disabled property node hangs loop

I've got a parser loop, operating on streamed data from a CRIO via UDP. The loop operates at about 90Hz. In response to the user opening a file, the code will use a property node to enable (or disable and gray) a couple of boolean front-panel objects. When these property nodes execute, I see the CPU usage (in Windows task manager) go to close to 100% and coincidentally, the parser loop hangs. Other loops within the same VI continue to run. CPU usage stays at 100% until I force a VI abort.
With a small test-VI, I've noted that these property nodes require roughly 10ms to execute. This seems quite sluggish, but nonetheless, my thoughts are that my code, running at 90Hz, would be able to tolerate a single slip of the loop execution time, particularly because the UDP data is queued.
Any thoughts regarding this property node execution time or suggestions on how to improve the code? Thanks in advance.

Mark, thank you for offering to look at a stripped-down version of the code. I just couldn't spare the time required to simplify our complex code. However, I've been working on this problem in the past couple of weeks since I originally posted the question, and have made some progress toward a solution. Although I still do not have a conclusive explanation for the Labview's behavior, I thought I'd follow up with a list of what appears to have made improvements to the code. I'll concede that these suggestions are not definitive, but the problems are not repeatable and without any transparency into Labview's internal behavior, my analysis of the problems and my attempts to find a fix are admittedly speculative in nature. Software development shouldn't be magic, but damn it seems like Labview requires we dance around a black candle. Frustrating. OK, exiting rant mode, here is a list of what NOT to do if you want Labview to be more stable:
-- Do not use frames around your front panel objects. Our main panel has approximately 100 front-panel indicators. In an attempt to make the interface more intuitive, in a recent code revision we grouped the objects using frames. The effect was a sluggish UI and a processor loading that went to close to 85%. I'm aware from posts on this forum that overlapping indicators forces Labview to update all when any is updated. This is an understandable coding contraint. OK, fine, we weren't overlapping any idicators. But for pete's sake, why should the same constraint apply to a purely decorative object like a frame? This strikes me as a fundamental philosophical flaw in LV's coding. Group N objects with a nice frame -- update the objects N-squared times. If this is the result of using a frame, I would have preferred that NI not even offer the option. Bad choice on the part of the Labview coders and bad choice on our part for assuming zero frame impact on performance.
-- Do not use property nodes. We occasionally gray-out front panel objects when appropriate for the state of the software. This appeared to be contributing to Labview's instability. I built a diagnostic routine that measures execution time for the "gray-out and disable" property node. Generally around 8ms, but occasionally as high as 16ms. Good grief. I've got a code loop running at 90Hz. A 16ms hit isn't easy to tolerate or frankly to understand. Particularly when slow execution is the BEST of the consequences -- the worst is that the property node seemed on occasion to precipitate a hung loop.
-- Do not use Labview's built-in queue structure. Our code was originally using queues to hand off packets of data from a UDP-listener loop to a packet-parser. The UDP-listener blocks on UDP reception, shoves the packets into the queue. The packet parser blocks on data available in the queue and subsequently writes the data to file. NI would have you believe, and I did believe for a while, that this is an elegant producer/consumer approach to this problem. When our problem would occur, the UDP-listener continued to put data into the queue, but the packet parser would never retrieve it. Just went off into nowhere, consumed and forgotten by the Great Labview Scheduler in the Sky. The loop would hang, wouldn't respond to the stop button, would require a forced-abort. Subsequently, if we simply restarted the code, we couldn't be assured that the packets retrieved from the queue would be in chronological order. Seemed to be just randomly retrieved. Clearly the failures had corrupted some of the Labview internal data structures that govern the queue operation. We couldn't assure proper behavior unless we shut down and restarted Labview each time the error occurred. The solution was to abandon code elegance in favor of sequential operation -- get rid of the queue, listen for the UDP packet then parse it immediately. No queue handoff. No further parser lock-ups.
I'm not sure what other bombs might be lurking in our code. Our listener and parser code hasn't lately hung, but the problem is starting to move on to other loops. They'll run for hours and then just stop. Dead. Frozen. In the most recent cases, even the abort button won't shut them down. We have to use Windows Task Manager to kill them. I'll admit to harboring some deepening skepticism for any of the more clever and powerful "features" that NI has added to LV. From my perspective, these more powerful features cannot come free of cost -- they must impose some unavoidable computational burden on LV itself, a burden that LV seems unable to handle, with unpleasant consequences. Must we impose a moratorium on Timed Loops? Event structures? To what level of simplicity must I drive our code to ensure stability?
Thanks, everyone, for tolerating my frustration, and for your comments, if you've got any guidance you can offer.

Rman clone duplicate database from active database

Hi All,
I read document saying that rman can duplicate database from active database (prod) to a remote server, so long as you configure listener and tnsname.
I am working toward it.
I met a problem, which is when i bring up auxiliary database in nomount mode, the listener service of that auxiliary database is in BLOCKED status, and throw out ora-12528 error when I rman auxiliary sys/pass@clonedb. Isn't nomount mode the mode which auxiliary db is supposed to be in?
(ora-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections)
Thanks,
milic

You may have run into the same problem like I did recently:
The (UR=A) clause in tnsnames.ora is intended to work with a dynamically registered handler so the use of SERVICE_NAME versus SID is preferred.

Also for further problems:

Duplicate database from active database in 11g?

Does anyone know if it's possible to clone a database from stby by issuing RMAN duplicate database FROM ACTIVE DATABASE command in 11g?
I know it's possible from primary to create stby.

Hi there,
I have a skype in number, which today is not working and loosing me business. When anyone calls my skype number they get a message "Sorry there is currently a high demand for this destination please try later"
I am getting this at least 2 days a month at the moment.
What is going on? After using Skype for 3 years now, I must say it is bug ridden, and not fit for purpose.
I fully expect to get no support at all if Skype is consistent, go on shock a customer and offer some support.

Idea: I personally provided my Google Voice number (free) which then routes to my Skype number. the benifit has been I can screen my callers, listen/block the caller from the Google Voice web site and it will TRANSCRIBE the message to text and then email it or send it to my phone. I have the Skype voice mail feature turned off.

What does Instance "orcl", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service... means?

Table 10-3 Listener Control Utility SERVICES Command
Output Section Description
Service
Identifies the registered service
Instance
Specifies the name of the instance associated with the service
The status field indicates if the instance is able to accept connections.
A READY status means that the instance can accept connections.
A BLOCKED status means that the instance cannot accept connections.
A READY/SECONDARY status means that the is a secondary instance in an Oracle Real Application Clusters primary/secondary configuration and is ready to accept connections.
A RESTRICTED status means that the instance is in restricted mode. The listener blocks all connections to this instance.
An UNKNOWN status means that the instance is registered statically in the listener.ora file rather than dynamically with service registration. Therefore, the status is non known.
Handlers
Identifies the name of the service handler. Dispatchers are named D000 through D999. Dedicated servers have a name of DEDICATED.
This section also identifies the following about the service handler:
established: The number of client connections this service handler has established
refused: The number of client connections it has refused
current: The number of client connections it is handling, that is, its current load
max: The maximum number of connections for the service handler, that is, its maximum load
state: The state of the handler:
- A READY state means that the service handler can accept new connections.
- A BLOCKED state means that the service handler cannot accept new connections.
Following this, additional information about the service handler displays, such as whether the service handler is a dispatcher, a local dedicated server, or a remote dedicated server on another node

Tile Based Game Questions

Hi, I know there are tons on posts about this topic, but I can not find the answer to my questions.
First, how would I go about moving the world around so the char is always in the center or near center of the screen? Do I have to have some sort of offset or something?
Second, how would I have efficient collision dection? I use the following code for movement...

     mapWall mapWall = new mapWall();

Socket closing before server can readObject()

I am trying to create a multi-threaded client server application that transmits objects. At the moment, I am having a hard time getting the sockets to coincide.
I start my server and wait for a connection:
ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(port_num);
Socket s = ss.accept();Then I create a new socket in the client to connect to the server:
Socket cs = new Socket("localhost", 8888);When the server class gets the connection, it creates a thread with the socket:
new DrawThread(s);The thread constructor creates an Input stream:
ois = new ObjectInputStream(sock.getInputStream());After the client creates the connection, it creates and ObjectOutputStream and writes my object:
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(cs.getOutputStream());
oos.writeObject(objects.get(0).getShape());Meanwhile in the run() method of the thread, we try to read it:
ois.readObject();However at this point I get an IOException because the client function was done and had exited so the socket was closed.
Any Idea what I can do to combat this problem? Full code for my client function, server and thread classes are below.
Client function:
   public void serverSave(){
        Date d = new Date();
        try{
        //initialize class network and IO vars
        Socket cs = new Socket("localhost", 8888);//create server
        oos = new ObjectOutputStream(cs.getOutputStream());
         //write the objects to the server
           // for(int i = 0; i< objects.size(); i++){
                 oos.writeObject(objects.get(0).getShape());
            //}//end for
       catch (UnknownHostException uhe){System.out.println("client uhe");System.out.println(uhe.getMessage());}
     catch(IOException ioe){System.out.println("client ioe");System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());}
     finally{
                //print out time to see when the function exits
          System.out.println(d.getTime());
   }Server Class:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class DrawServer{
     static int port_num = 8888;//default port number
     public void DrawServer(){}
     public static void main(String args[])throws IOException{
          //don't forget to close socket
          ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(port_num);
          while(true){
               System.out.println("begin listening");
               //blocking wait for a connection
               Socket s = ss.accept();
               //create new thread for the client
               new DrawThread(s);
               System.out.println("end listening");
               s.close();
          }//end while
     }//end main

                oos = new ObjectOutputStream(sock.getOutputStream());
          start();
          catch( IOException ioe){}
     public void run(){
          Date d = new Date();
          System.out.println("Thread started");
          try{
          int i = 0;
          while(true){
               System.out.println("getting item " + ++i);
               ois.readObject();
          catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){System.out.println("fnfe");}
          catch(IOException ioe){System.out.println("ioe     " + + d.getTime());System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());}
          catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe){System.out.println("cnfe");}
          finally{

               catch(IOException ioe2){System.out.println("ioe2");}
          System.out.println("Thread ending");
}Thanks,

You have one problem with your DrawServer class:               new DrawThread(s); // this starts a thread that uses the socket
               System.out.println("end listening");
               s.close(); // this will close the socket while it is used in the DrawThread thread.Instead close the socket in the finally block of the DrawThread run() method (no need to close the ObjectOutputStream in that block).
Also since you are passing a variable number of objects between the client and the server
you should create a custom made protocol for both your ends to always be in sync with each other.
For instance the client could send first the number of objects to be sent,
then loop for this exact number and send the objects,
then upon receiving the server response close its socket.
The server could read for the number of objects to read,
then loop for the exact number and read the objects,
then send a response and close its socket.

Listener Service Blocked

Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2003
One Listener Service with Two instances
I understand you, the reader, may have some experience working with Oracle Servers and I am hoping you may be able to shed some light on my current issue.
I have Oracle 10g Version 10.1.0.2.0 Standard running on Windows Server 2003 SP2. There are multiple database instances; as you know each instance has a SID, its own service “OracleService<SID>”, memory space, files, configurations, etc.
Each database runs though the same listener with an individual listener service.
There are now six databases on the system (mastsch1, indosch1, bathsch1, bathsch2, bathsch3, and bathsch4)
The most recent database, bathsch4, is a clone/copy of bathsch3.
I chose to use the Database Administrator Console to Clone an existing database (bathsch3) to create a new database (bathsch4).
What I ended up with was a single listener service “bathsch4” reporting two instances “bathsch4” READY and “bathsch3” BLOCKED.
I’ve checked lsnrctl services and status to gather this information, validated the PATH, and registry settings, and tested resolution of TNSPING which all report the same issue.
Issue 1:
I need assistance in understanding how exactly to alter “bathsch3” so it runs again in its own listener service “bathsch3” and is no longer BLOCKED.
Thankfully, all of the other databases (mastsch1, indosch1, bathsch1, bathsch2, and bathsch4) are running correctly.
I walked through many scripts and diagnostics to get were I thought stopping and starting the service would bring me back to completion, but ended up after a system cycle back to the same problem, so I’ve clearly missed something.
In the process of researching this issue, I found that my listener.log had grown exponentially and was at 700 MB already. The majority of this log was the windows service “OracleServicebathsch3” attempting to connect to the database.
I shutdown the database and stopped the service which drastically reduced the rate of growth.
Issue 2:
I need assistance in understanding how exactly to set up the listener.log to either rollover or truncate after 20 MB.
If you believe you are capable of provide me with any helpful guidance? Please do so, I am happy to answer any question and provide every bit of information you feel would be of assistance.
Thank you,
James

Thank you for your response - I will definitely attempt your suggestion for item 2.
With regards to item 1, it appears that I'm not explaining the listener issue well enough.
On Windows Server 2003 R2 with Oracle 10.1.0.2.0 Standard running if you were to check the listener status, I appear to have only one listener with the correct endpoint.
If you check the listener services you will see that one listener service, with the name of the new database, is listed as having two dependent instances, the original database, bathsch3, and the new database, bathsch4.
The original database, bathsch3, is blocked.
I need guidance on how to uncouple the original database, bathsch3, from the “bathsch4” service and get it back on its own service.
To follow is a run of the listener status in case it helps to “see” what I am saying.

Service Blocked in Listener

Hello All
To be able to write a rman backup to a share I need to have the db service and listener started as the same user
that I use to write to the share. According to MOS:
How to Configure RMAN to Write to Shared Drives on Windows NT/2000 [ID 145843.1]
On one machine I have an issue when changing the user from local to a domain user.
The service becomes blocked in the listener, I have also restarted the listener with the same user.
I have confirmed that the user are member of needed groups (ora_dba, administrators)
and have the required policies granted...
What do I need to do to change th service to ready ?
If I change back to local system account the service is ready again.
Appreciate your feedback and comments.
Thanks
Magnus
