Listener listners to name different from instance_name

Is it possible to configure listener to lister to a name different from instance_name?
For example, if instance_name is INST1, I'd like to make listener be able to listen to name "INST" and know that this is for "INST1"
If possible, this is what TNSNAME at client is
INST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = INST)
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Actually my concern is much at client side not on database server side. Please let me expalin what I mean.
The back-end database is 2-node RAC - Two instances INST1 and INST2 on node1 and node2 respectively. Most of our clients will use TAF (Transparent Application Failover) config and use SERVICE_NAME=INST in TNSNAMES.ora. They have no issue connection to RAC database and take advantage of fail over and load baclancing capability.
However, one of clients is legacy app. :-( It does not use oracle client (so not using TNSNAME). It has its own db driver. The only option I allow to enter is hostname + SID. This would work fine with stand alone database (one host + one instance), or I can even connection to specific RAC node (like node 1 + SID=INST1).
But we'd like to take advantage of fail over of having two instances. We would like to connection to one instance and if in case node fails, it will go to other.
We can have a virtual hotname using 3rd party load balancer - it will go to the least load node with host name translation - user connects to virtual host > translate to node 1 or node 2 depending on load. . But since listener on node 1 is listenning to SID_NAME=INST1 and node 2 to INST2, using SID=INST at client in tnsname.ora would not work (get error "ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID", nor I could use SID=INST1 or SID=INST2 becuase it won't be transparent when failover. Ideally I want to use SID=INST in TNSNAMES.ora and, if possible, I'd like the listener on node 1 listens to INST1 as well as INST and node2 listners to INST2 as well as INST. This way client connection will be transparent. Sorry for long explanation. But hopefully I make my situation clearer. Thanks again in advance.

  • Mail server config inconsistent when host name differs from domain name

    Hi,
    I've installed Leopard server on host server.example.com but want to server email for example.com the host name for incoming mail should be mx01.example.com. DNS is setup properly resolving server.example.com and mx01.example.com (both forward and reverse, mx01 having a separate IP) and mx01.example.com is set as MX for example.com. Both IPs are routed to the internal server by the firewall.
    In Server Admin, server.example.com is set as computer name (also resolved to the proper internal IP by our internal DNS), and in mail settings -> General, domain name is set to example.com and host name to mx01.example.com (so that the mail server identifies itself properly when connected on port 25).
    Normal mail traffic works perfectly: Users can send and receive mail from/to addresses like <user_shortname>@example.com. I've got problems with mailing lists, though:
    First, group based mailing lists (for groups created in Workgroup Manager) have the wrong addresses: <group_shortname>@server.example.com. Those addresses are linked when you view the croup in Directory.app. You can send mails to eg [email protected] when connecting to the server via telnet on port 25, but get an error email ([email protected]>: mail for server.example.com loops back to myself, Reporting-MTA: mx01.example.com) back.
    Second, mailman based mailing lists also have the wrong addresses: <listname>@server.example.com and at the bottom of the mails received from the lists, there are also links to the lists web page with the url mx01.example.com instead of the host's name server.example.com.
    mx01 should only be used by incoming SMTP, but if this isn't possible, I could revert to using server.example.com for the MX record as well. But the email addresses should definitely use the domain name and not the full server name as domain part. This is a typical email server setup and I can't understand why leopard server handles this differently. Does anyone have a workaround for this or could tell me how to setup an email system properly?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!
    Cheers, Thomas

    Well, you pointed me into the right direction: Changing the mail server's host name helped a bit. I just dumped the name mx01.example.org. The host is called server.example.org and in mail settings, the domain name is set to example.org while the host name is set to server.example.com. The MX record will have to point to server.example.org, then.
    The server now accepts emails to group based mailing lists à la <group_shortname>@example.org. In Directory.app, the link the the group's mailing list still opens a new Mail to <group_shortname>@server.example.org, though.
    For mailman based mailing lists, the link to the list's listinfo page in the bottom of emails received from the list is now correctly pointing to server.example.org. The list's address shown there still is <list_name>@server.example.org.

  • PPOME order of name differs from personnal area

    Hello,
    I think i have a problem....
    In my company, we have a personnal area from belgium and one from luxembourg
    the screen of encoding are different, asking in one the last name first and in the other asking the first name first.
    I don't know if it s because of that but :
    when i m in PPOME and i look at my organisation structure and the person assigned to it, i have the name of the superior in the following order :
    --> BE : first name last name
    --> LU : last name first name
    Could it be possible to have just one type of order? ex : first name last name?
    If i look in a list, the first name are in the first name column and the last name are in the last column in both of case....
    Could someone help me please??
    thanks in advance
    Chris

    Maybe this is the way the name formats are configured by country grouping.
    Have a look in the IMG under :
    Personnel Management - Personnel Administration - Personal Data - Name Format  and choose the option for Define Name Format.
    You can set the name format by country groupings although changing this may effect more than just PPOME.
    Also on the PA20 Display Master Data, is there the same name format difference when you enter the personnel numbers of the Belgian and Luxembourg employee.

  • Changing Users Name - different from the other post below

    I want to change my home name under the places folder. It's not my account name that can be viewed in the preferences under account. When I got this new MacBook Pro and went thru the set up, somehow I must have agreed to use the name that is next to the house icon under places in the finder sidebar. I really don't know where they got it from and when I search the whole computer all that comes up is the user folder. I tried to rename the name but it won't let me. There has to be somewhere I can change that name short of clearing out the contents of the MacBook and loading a new system from the supplied start up disk.

    Hi,
    Just to amplify -
    An account actually has two names, the "long name" (now called "Full Name" in System Preferences), and the ""short name" (normally a single word in lower case, called "Account Name" in System Preferences when you first set up an account).
    When you set up a user account and enter your "Full Name," the system will suggest an Account Name (the "short name"), and you have *just this one chance* to change it:
    Once set, the short name becomes the name of your home folder (the house icon in Finder) and is not easily changed. You can't just change the home folder name, because the short name is also an intrinsic part of your user account. However if you very much want to change the short name, there are a few ways to do this. Apple's method is here:
    *Mac OS X: How to change user short name or home directory name*
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428?viewlocale=en_US
    It's somewhat complicated as you will see, and changing the short name this way can sometimes introduce a few permissions glitches. You could still try it, or since your Mac is still new, you might instead consider wiping the HD and starting over.

  • Rsreportserver config urls reservations accountsid and account name different from service account

    Hi All ,
    I have an  ssrs instance  which has been al ready configured,the instance is set up to use network service account ,but the rsreportserver is configured to a different account in the urlreservations   section  ,will this  effect
    the kerberos setup for ssrs server,
    Many Thanks

    Hi DataPro2010,
    In Reporting Services, when we configure a service account in Reporting Services Configuration Manager, this account will be written into Urlreservations section automatically. This account is used for accessing the Web Services URL and Reporting Manager
    URL. It's not related to Kerberos setting. For Configuring Kerberos Authentication for SSRS, Please refer to the links below:

  • Same email address, different 'from' name

    Hi - I would like to be able to send an email from ios to a 3rd party and choose who the recipient sees that it comes from, but use the one email address. So 1 'name' is my personal name, 1 is my business name.
    I host a domain and I have sent up 2 email accounts in ios with different usernames let's say [email protected] and [email protected] [email protected] is set to divert to [email protected] on a server level, so ALL emails sent to either x or y, go to x. So I have both set up on my Mac, y doesn't get email, so I don't get double ups - when I want to send from a different user name, I just send from the other account.
    Now ios has the same ability in theory and when I set it up the same way, it all works BUT the recipient receives the email from my personal name, despite me sending it from my business name???
    Anyone have a fix or answer??!!
    TIA!!

    Hi there
    I'm staying at a Novotel in Edinburgh.  Their wireless shows up as "Orange France".  The BT FON map shows it as a "single hotspot operated by a roaming partner".
    While I can select "FON" from the list of providers for login, when I use my @btinternet email address as the login I am denied access.
    Should I have a FON account name different from my btinternet email address.  Is my FON password the same as my email password?
    Thanks

    Hi Ben. Welcome to the forums.
    The BTFon access is via the primary email address and associated password.
    Does the list of providers actually say BTFon or BTOpenzone ?

  • Two alias in Mail: how to show different "from" names?

    I've been reading various threads about aliases in mail, but none have exactly described my situation. What I want to be able to do is set up aliases in my one account and have the mail shown as "from" a different name depending on which alias I've used.
    Here's my current set-up:
    Account Type: POP
    Description: POP account
    Email address: [email protected], [email protected]
    Full Name: myname & mywifesname
    Incoming mail server: pop.domain.com
    username: xxxxx
    password: xxxxx
    outgoing mail server: smtp.domain.com
    So, we can each send email "from" our own email address, but they're all marked as from "myname & mywifes name". How do I change it so if I select "[email protected]" the mail is shown as simply from "myname" and vice versa.
    I understand from reading other threads that the one thing I can't do is set up a separate account for each, as they will both have the same incoming server and username. (Which was exactly what I could do back in the dark ages of Outlook Express.)

    Unless you really just absolutely want to have your sent emails say they're from "Trevor C" or from "Trevor C's Spouse", you could just delete the full name entry from that account in Mail's Preferences (i.e., set full name field to null), and then any sent messages' "from" address will simply appear as being from [email protected] or from [email protected], depending on which "account" (alias) you selected in the "Account" pull-down menu. This would be, I think, the easiest patch for you to implement.
    People who get email from me get mail from "[email protected]" and not from "J.V." Personally, I hate the full name crap and wish there were a way to display the "from" field in my inbound message viewer pane in email address format, rather than full name format. But that's just me.

  • HA-VMM cannot be installed : HAVMM name in db is differs from the user specified HAVMM name

    I have a two node HA VMM cluster.  This is working correctly and has been for while.  I am now attempting to add an additional node to the cluster.
    I joined the node to the cluster and then start the VMM install and follow the wizard till it gets to the Database Configuration Page.  When I Click Next here nothing happens.
    If I check the C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log file I see the following error as the last item.
    HA-VMM cannot be installed : HAVMM name in db is differs from the user specified HAVMM name
    If I check the S
    CVMMCDB01 I find the HAVMMName property with a value of SCVMMC01.domainname  This is the same value that is returned when using powershell with Get-SCVMMServer
    When I check the cluster configuration it is the same story.  I connect to the  cluster name scvmmc01.
    Even if I look at Cluster Manager I can see the name is tied correctly.
    Any ideas would be great as I am effectively now stuck and cannot install another node.

    Greetings!
    It happened because you renamed your VMM cluster after first node installation.
    Juts update HAVMMName value in dbo.tbl_VMM_GlobalSetting. Start SQL Server Management Studio, connect to your VMM DB, and Edit table.

    Hello, Julie. 
    Thank you for the question.  As the device is registered to the Apple ID, you would simply need to make sure the name is correct on https://appleid.apple.com/.  If the name of the device itself is incorrect and you wish to change it, see the article below.

  • Wifi has suddenly stopped working. There is an exclamation mark which takes me to network diagnostics. This asks me for network name and password. This is different from the startup wizard which only asked for a WEP key and modem name. What to do?

    My wifi has suddenly stopped working on my iMac, after working fine for almost a year. There is an exclamation mark on the wifi bars and when I click it, it takes me to a network diagnostics page. This page asks me for my username and password for the wifi, which I don't have. It is different from the WEP key and modem name, which I originally used to set up my connection. I have not experienced any problems on all my other wifi-enabled devices. Ipod touch, iPad, MacBook all work fine. What should I do?

    The name is the name of the network you created on the router. The password is the WEP password. You shouldn't be using WEP at all, as it's insecure and also seems to cause connection failures. Use WPA 2 Personal. If your router doesn't support it, get a new one.

  • Tp import eroor: Systems name (DB0) is different from name in TADIR (PA0)

    Experts,
    I am receiving the error:
    ERROR: SAP System not installed properly. Systems name (DB0) is different from name in TADIR (PA0)
    when trying to execute the command:
    tp import DB0K900022 DB0 client=300 u1268 pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_PA0.PFL
    I am peforming this from solution manager unix command line. I have a single transport domain where all systems and landscapes(ie. ECC, SRM, BW etc) are included.
    I am trying to perform this without having to log on to each system to execute the command and import.
    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
    David Carr

    Hello David Carr
    Why don't you logon to your domain controller and process the transport request through STMS, if setup correctly you don't have to logon to each seperate SAP system either, you can access each import queue from there.
    Kind regards

  • Different "From" names in Mail

    All my mail is forwarded and funneled thruogh gmail, and then to my Mac Mail client. I have configured all my email addresses in the account tab by separating them with a comma. Great. Now I can send mail from all my email addresses... except, they will all show that they are from me, listing my personal name.
    I want some of the addresses to be associated with my company name, however, and not my personal name.
    How do I go about this?

    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
