Listener dies mysteriously

Since yesterday the listener of a 10g Oracle db died mysteriously after few hours of service. Once I restart the computer, everythink works fine again. But few hours later, it died again. The listener log is as below:
13-MAR-2007 23:32:14 * service_update * kentdb * 0
13-MAR-2007 23:32:47 * service_died * kentdb * 12547
TNS-12547: TNS:lost contactThere are a SQL Server links to it and people are doing testing with it. In the beginning, when the testing hangs, the person doing the testing sneaked into the server room and power off my oracle server and restart it. He has done that at least 10 times. He is not doing that anymore but the listener is messed up.
The server is Windows 2003 and not DHCP enabled. I created new listener but it didn't help. Now I can't even restart listener service alone, I have to restart the computer to make it work. Can anyone suggest any solution?
Any advise is appreciated.

How heavily loaded is the server? When you look at the Windows CPU and Memory utlization what are the percentages in use?
From the error message
>>
Investigate partner application for abnormal termination. On an Interchange, this can happen if the machine is overloaded.

I searched on metalink but only found about 7 hits and none of them were for a version of Oracle as recent as 10g.
Maybe someone else will know of an issue.

Failover callback not called when listener dies

I need to create a RAC-aware Pro*C application.
I got the preconfigured VirtualBox images with OL 5 and RAC nodes.
The listener is installed on both machines too. They share a single IP address for the listener, which I added to the hosts file:
192.168.56.201 rac-scan.localdomain rac-scanActually, the cluster decides to create a virtual network adapter on one of the nodes and this address is assigned to it and then the listener becomes awailable. When this node dies, the cluster starts the listener on another node.
I don't know, whether it's a proper way. I heard that the listener should be on a separate machine.
But the problem is: when I turn off the node my client program is connected to, the failover callback function is not called. The next oracle operation fails with "ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE".
I followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A91202_01/901_doc/appdev.901/a89857/oci09adv.htm#428924 and https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=415245.1 to create the sample program that registers the callback.
Could it be that the failover only works when the DB service fails, but not the listener?

The problem was bad connection string

Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 8.0 - mysterious one minute hangs - solved

Thought I'd drop a note about a problem we faced on a multi-processor Linux box (2x 2.4GHz HT P4, SCSI RAID-0 array).
Our program was frequently pausing for 1 minute at a time in the middle of operations, on the most innocuous queries (single-row inserts of new data, "select 1 from dual" (!), etc.). Symptom: after a burst of activity, some random query would just hang for exactly 1 minute, and then continue as if nothing had happened.
Clue: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-oracle/2001-Oct/0023.html
Action on my part:
* Comment out the "mts_dispatchers" line in my init.ora and restart the DB. Problem solved.
Probable cause, according to the note above: the listener dies, and that would explain the one-minute delay (I guess until something gets restarted).

Is there a known bug and if so what is the resolution? Will upgrading to Net 9i help?
Let me know if anyone has faced such issue and the resolution.

alll listeners show the TNS-12531 cannot allocate memory message in the listener.log.Only a single listener is required.
How many listeners run on this system & why more than 1?

ASM listener offline

Following 455398.1 Using Oracle RAC and ASM with EBS 11i and 11g
Finished step 3.6 Post-Oracle RAC Migration Steps
Now ASM listener will not come ONLINE.
When started manually, it terminates, no error message displayed.
Questions:
1- Is there a log file to gather more information as to why ASM listener dies?
2- Some crs_stat command to get more info?
3- Or is ASM not coming online, since we've not yet finished the note. The next step is to enable autoconfig on db tier.

A
lsnrctl servicesshould show the location of your logfile, like:
Listener Log File /opt/asmprd/ora/diag/tnslsnr/vsv1h171ps/listener_vsv1h171ps/alert/log.xmlThis is a XML file which might be hard to read. Most of the time there is also a /opt/asmprd/ora/diag/tnslsnr/vsv1h171ps/listener_vsv1h171ps/trace directory, which contains a clear text logfile
Ofcourse change the given directory name here to the ASM installation path of your installation

Need help. Scheduled backup is killing the listener

I'm not sure what is going on. I scheduled a backup through the OEM and when the job kicked off, it shut down the listner, or killed it. The problem is that our startup/shutdown routines use the listener as a dependency, so when the listener dies, other Oracle servers also are shut down.
This server is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, so the backup has to happen offline, which I assumed meant simply shutting the database down, backing up and reopening it.
The main problem is that I can't seem to find the scheduled job, so everytime I restart the server, the job attempts to start again and kills the listener. I've done some searching, but I can't find the exact query/script to kill any scheduled backup job.

Is there software I can use to repair the boot record on my external HD?

OAS/Oracle 8.0.5(EE) on Redhat 6.0

Has anyone out there been able to get this working?
If so how?
I have tried different configurations and none of them have
worked. Oracle is running fine, but the OAS is not.
The OAS will start and connect to oracle to add the necessary
packages, but when I make a call to the application it starts
the it but does never returns any data. Then after a while the
listener dies.
I and others have added the patches and recompiled the kernel as
noted in other listings. (ps and process limits)
I am a developer using the OAS for Solaris, so I have a clue on
how to implement this product. I think Oracle is having a
problem getting its products running on Linux.

Actually Oracle 8 EE runs fine on Linux as far as I've seen.
But, its the OAS v4.0 that we're having problems with here. We
extensively use the OAS to dynamically render web pages using
the PL/SQL cartridge, which I haven't been able to get to work
yet. I've been up and down the documentation, and I use the OAS
at work on a Solaris platform. It would be nice to setup cheap
Linux servers running oracle 8 and the OAS 4 for
development/testing machines, but without the PL/SQL cartridge
working, we could not use it for testing our applications.
When I try to connect to an application using the PL/SQL
cartride on the OAS, my browser just sits there forever waiting
for data to come back, but nothing ever happens. If I look at
the active sessions in oracle, there is a session there for the
user I have setup for the OAS, so it seems to be connecting to
oracle. If I setup the PL/SQL cartridge to force the user to
enter in a login name and password, I never get prompted for
that authentication information and no connection is ever made
to the database. I hope that this is a known problem at Oracle,
as I saw that they said they will be releasing a patch for the
OAS for linux. However, I can't believe that the OAS could have
been released "broken" and is being sold. Its not just a little
bug, its that the PL/SQL cartridge flat out doesn't work. I have
yet to determine, and would like to know, if this problem is
with the OAS itself, or some weird problem of the OAS running
under the RedHat version 6.0 system. I have even tried setting
the owner of the wrks file to root and setuid'ing it to make
sure there is no permissions problems.
If anyone has been able to get the PL/SQL cartridge working, can
you please tell me if you did anything outside of the normal
installation process and fixes mentioned on technet to get it to
work? And also what your system config is.
Thanks for any help.

Access to patch sets

I need some patches for my database because the listener dies.
The link to the patchsets http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/patches.htm at
http://www.oracle.com/de/support/index.html is dead.
Metalink doesn't exist anymore. I get redirected to support.oracle.com.
support.oracle.com asks me for "Oracle Support Identifiers", but doesn't accept any of my CSIs for registration.
Give me a place to download patches hassle-free for my professional database.
The alternative, and I'll start research today: Running towards the next GPL'ed database (MaxDB, whatever) as fast as I can.
(I thought about that a lot the last year, with Oracle pathetically failing to see customer needs for years now. This situation is starting to make it a business necessity.)

Thanks for your help, schavali. I somehow doubt that a phone support can help me get at patches, but I'll try. I still maintain that we should have easy, hassle-free access to patches for a database we paid a reasonable amount of money for. But I also acknowledge that this forum is the wrong place to vent my anger, and I'll go venting at some support person which is equally helpless. I'll try my best to make clear it's nothing personal.
Also thanks, damorgan. I agree with the notion that offering a slow and unresponsive flash access when you usually are in trouble with a malfunctioning database and most of the time not on a computer with all patches and plugins installed and just want a very basic, robust access to files and information is at least questionable. A word like "braindead" just urges itself onto me.
But I must also disagree: The Metalink redirects to just that support.oracle.com, where my credentials aren't welcome anymore and my CSIs won't get accepted, and the non-flash-link (thanks for that) behaves exactly the same: "This Support Identifier does not allow new users registration". Therefore: No access to patch sets. Which is intolerable. I still try to work my way around here for the installations in use here, but for many of those MaxDB is a very fine alternative, and obviously the hassle of changing is so much less now than the hassle of putting up with Oracle support...
Again, thanks for your hints and help.

Mysterious Data Usage

Hello,
My wife owns an HTC Thunderbolt. We are experiencing mysterious data usage.
The data log shows data usage during hours and at times when the phone is not being used. We have tried closing all apps and resetting the phone.
Still, these nickel and dime data used entries are adding up fast and bring us to the brink of our our plan which we have already extended.
We do not stream video, we do not listen to Pandora.... The phone is used strictly for texts, emails, and phone calls.
Any advice? Thank you for your help.

Same here - very similar.Times are close but not like yours.
I've deleted the email accounts and re-added them to see if there was a looping email send issue that I've read about.
Funny though, when I review the data use on the phone, "photo" is the app indicating using the most data. So I've turned off and uninstalled everything I can think is tied to that.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
Can you help me with that?
NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.

I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support!

How to get to your files when your Time Capsule dies :(

I am posting this here to help someone who cannot access a Time Machine backup because
the backup was "corrupted"
the <insert whatever obscure message that contains the word "sparsebundle" here> message appears
the Time Machine won't open up your backups
the Time Capsule dies
First of all, I absolutly am a fan of Time Machine and Time Capsule. And they work great ... until they don't - and that is when panic sets in. I haven't had a Time Capsule die on me (because I remembered to enter a "Remember to get a new Time Capsule" event for 18 months after I bought my first one) and I am meticulous about keeping backups. I am a software engineer and, well, before we had github.com ... we had to protect our hard drives.
If your Time Capsule has died - or you can get into the Time Capsule through the Time Machine interface - you can still access you files. You don't need to go out and buy some fancy software to get back your lost stuff. You can't attach a usb cable to mount your Time Capsule (atleast on my 2T ones) - but you can open it to get to the hard drive
Most likely - the hard drive in your Time Capsule is still good (the thing that dies seems to be the power source). The key is to
open your Time Capsule peel back the rubber bottom and you will see some worx or hex screws
take out the hard drive (mine was a Western DigitalCaviar Green -> thanks Apple for being green!)
mount your drive to your Mac (you will prob have to get a SATA to USB adaptor (I use a Voyager Q)
from the Finder (yeah, the FINDER!) navigate into "data>ShareRoot" (this is where mine was, you might have to poke around)
double click the "sparsebundle" for your backups
In there, like little ducks, are directories for every backup - like a normal directory structure. This completely blew my mind when I found this out. It wasn't some mysterious thing like I was making it out to be. Everything was there, in increments, as I had before.
If you are not careful - you might damage your Time Capsule ... but chances are it is already dead. I keep my 2T WD in a safe place with a safe case for posterity. However that hard drive is just like any other hard drive ... it is just not in a Time Capsule.
This is a last ditch effort to get back your files. I resorted to this when I couldn't access my Time Machine backups through the GUI.
I hope that this helps someone and now, for something not so completely different: http://timecapsuledead.org

I just wanted to point out ... that when you "double click on the sparse bundle" - you are actually opeing up the "DiskImageMounter" and another "hard drive" will appear on you Desktop or in your FInder.
It is this "second" Time Machine that you will find your files in date tagged directory!

OAS 4.0.8.1 + Apache web listener

Help!
I'm not having all the problems running OAS 4.0.8.1 on Redhat 6.1 that everyone else is (my processes stay up and it's significantly faster than 4.0.7.1 on RH 5.2). But what I'd really like to do is dump Oracle's Spyglass web listeners and run Apache instead. This includes all cartridges and such as well as standard HTML. I'm mostly interested in the PL/SQL cartridge, but all working would be nice.
This can be done by compiling Apache specially with MOD_SO support and registering Apache as a listener. The very sketchy directions are in the docs under the Administration section. The directions are very poor (thank you again Oracle, we wouldn't want you to actually write good docs, it would spoil us for the years of terrible documentation) and I can't quite get it to work. I get Apache compiled and the shared objects libraries load, I think.
When I start Apache, it says it starts but it really doesn't. Dies immediately and doesn't show up on the process list. The error logs shows the following message:
(111)Connection refused: OAS Adapter: Error connecting to dispatcher
This is a major issue for me and any help would be appreciated. Anyone had any luck getting this to work?
Thanks!

Dear jgerry,
Congrats on getting Apache compiled. I am new to all of this, and the documentation is poor. The way I understand the documentation on www.olab.com, libapadp.so must be linked into Apache. Is this true? If so, I would love to know how to recompile it. I have downloaded and unzipped/untared 1.3.12, but I can't find out how to just link in a .so file. The only references I see are how to start out with a .c file. I have fould libapadp.so and ndwfapd.so in the Oracle install. I thought that just doing "LoadModule ows_module ndwfapd.so" would do the trick if I put ndwfapd.so and libapadp.so in the modules subdir of my Apache 1.3.9 installation, but I get the message...
"Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/ndwfapd.so into server: libapadp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
Do you have any ideas to help me over this hurdle.
Any help is appreciated.

GSD and ONS shutting down automatically when listener is started.

Issue with RAC database Node 2
OS: Windows 2003 Server (64-bit)
Problem 1:
After patching Oracle to a higher version i.e from 10.2.0.3.0 P31 to 10.2.0.4.0 P35, the second database node was not starting up properly. When starting, the node hangs with blue screen.
Cause:
The above problem was because the second node, when starting up the cluster related services,
was not able to communicate with the first node through the cluster interconnect network (heartbeat).
The node tries to ping the heartbeat several times and the node gets evicted from the cluster resulting in BSOD.
We found that several times this type of node eviction had occurred.
Due to several evictions of Node 2, Node 1 locks Voting Disk to prevent from corruption.
NOde 2 again while starting tries to communicate to the Voting Disk to join the cluster.
But since those files are locked by Node 1, Node2 is not able to access those files and this also results in BSOD.
The above information was found out from ocssd logs.
ocssd.log
=========
WARNING: clssnmLocalJoinEvent: takeover aborted due to ALIVE node on Disk
WARNING: clssnmRcfgMgrThread: not possible to join the cluster. Please reboot the node.Solution:
The only way to release the lock was to reboot the Node 1. We rebooted the node 1 and the lock was released.
Now both the nodes were able to communicate with the configuration files and there were no BSOD on node 2.
All the cluster related services were started without any issues and the node joined the cluster.
Problem 2:
After problem 1 got solved, we noticed one more issue with the node 2.
We noticed that in node 2, when listener is started, the GSD and ONS node applications dies.
When we stop the listener, GSD and ONS starts.
Also when I try to start the instance on Node 2, it hangs in the startup command.
Oracle is not able to start the instance. Also the configuration assistants, srvctl etc was not working.
I got information that if GSD is not started, then DBCA,srvctl and other commands do not work.
But how to resolve the issue described (highlighted) in problem 2.
Please help me....

Hi Bibii and welcome to Discussions,
first of, you have posted in the Mac Pro section not the MacBook Pro section here http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=190
Anyway, is this really a shutdown or is it just sleeping ?
If sleeping check the Energy Savings settings in the System Preferences for when your MBP should go to sleep when inactive.
