  • TNS Listner not starting on W2K

    I am trying to install Oracle 8.0.3 on W2K system.Oracle server is working fine.But When
    I am trying to install server side SQL* net,
    I am getting an error like 'Cannot delete V2
    listner for Windows NT'. And then it fails.
    And the listner is not starting when I am tring to start it up from windows services.
    I need expert advice for this.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think that you would like to try running oracle Net8 Assistant and remove any unnecessary protocols that the listener is listening to.

  • Multiple instances not starting using Windows services

    Hi,
    We have two Oracle instacnes installed in same oracle home. They are not starting using windows 2000 service manager.
    I have to go to svrmgrl and set the ORACLE_SID environment variable to startup each instance. How can I make them start through windows Services instead of manually doing it.
    Is installing multiple instances in same home a good idea?
    These multiple instances are not part of paralell server.
    Regards,
    Wasim.

    Hi,
    I have checked the registry keys and everything looks ok.
    ORACLE_instance_AUTOSTART is true
    ORACLE_instance_PFILE is correct
    ORACLE_instance_SHUTDOWN is true
    ORACLE_instance_SHUTDOWNTYPE is i
    Above values are right for both instances. I even have recreated the services using ORADIM. I can start both instances by going to command prompt set ORACLE_SID and start the instance using SVRMGRL. But they'll not autostart when the machine is rebooted.
    Regards,
    Wasim.

  • Creative cloud application does not start on mac 10.9.3

    Hi,
    I am trying to install the creative cloud application on my mac. Installation goes fine but afterwards CC refuses to start correctly and just sits there and I see the blue spinning wheel and that is mainly it. I can let it sit there for hours but the state will not change. I tried re-installing, re-starting multiple times. I tried to install it on my main macbook pro and my mac mini but the results are the same.
    I found somewhere in the forum a link saying to delete the opm.db file from ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/ folder but that also did not yield any change in behavior.
    I am a bit running out of ideas. Any suggestion how I can resolve this issue?
    Regards,
    Simon

    Strange indeed suddenly it works. However the CC version remains unchanged. Looks like some server was maybe not available yesterday so it could not connect or log on. This does not shed a good light on the reliability. Let's see if it happens again during my trial period.

  • Jenkins not deploying on Tomcat; SSH Service not starting

    So I've had a couple of problems happening. My first problem is that even though sshd.service and sshd.socket are enabled with systemctl, it does not automatically start. There are no errors reported in journalctl, it just does not start. When issuing systemctl status sshd.service and systemctl status sshd.socket, there is nothing to report. Once I manually start them, there are no errors reported, and everything works as expected.

    Thank you, but the problem is a little different from that. These are
    exploded web apps outside the applications dir. I deployed them
    through the console initially; on the other servers, when WL restarts,
    the apps are deployed back to their targets just fine. It's only this
    box that loses sense of the targets on WL restart.
    We're on 6.1, so a few people have suggested upgrading to 6.1 sp4 --
    they've said they've seen this problem, and the sp corrects it.
    That said, this is a production box and upgrading it is a hassle. I'll
    get started on scheduling that, but if anyone has any ideas in the
    meantime, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, thanks anyway. :)

    This is bad, obviously, because the server won't restore properly

    After a while, I get target="box,box,box,box" that represents the
    multiple times I've deployed that application to the target "box".

    I've checked permissions on the folder, on the file, and who the

    duplicate target entries.
    I've seen some other posts from people who have also experienced
    applications not deploying on WL restart, but I don't see any
    resolutions.

  • Start multiple domains simultaneously on 1 Weblogic server installation?

    Is it okay to start and run multiple domains simultaneously. Better yet, when having multiple domains on 1 WLS server, should each domain have a different port number in order to be run simultaneously?
    Here's my scenario - I installed Oracle Business Intellgence, which by default installs and configures WLS server for certain Business Intelligence applications (BI Publisher). This instance was running fine and good and still is.
    Then I had another application, Oracle Data Integrator, which has a Console piece that requires a domain on WLS. So instead of modifying the existing domain for Oracle Business Intelligence, I created a new domain via the Configuration Wizard and selected those components for Oracle Data Integrator.
    therefore current domains:
    ...\domains\bifoundation_domain --> installed automatically as part of Oracle Business Intelligence
    ...\domains\odi11g --> I created this domain after I
    Now I have 2 domains under 1 WLS Server (windows 7 64bit), but if I startWeblogic.cmd for the bifoundation_domain, and I startWeblogic.cmd for the odi11g...then only the components for the bifoundation_domain become available via the WLS Console.
    Questions:
    - Can I run both domains simultaneously?
    - Should I have modified the bifoundation_domain to include Oracle Data Integrator component; therefore only having 1 domain but having everything run under that domain?
    - Does the Port for each domain matter? both bifounddation_domain and odi11g domain use ports 7001
    Are there any other considerations? Thanks much.

    Hi,
    It is perfectly OK to run multiple domains on a single Weblogic server installation. Only constraint would be you have enough capacity available on your server to start multiple instances.
    Things to note is, if your domain1 is running on listen address : port { localhost : 7001 } then your other domain should be configured on a different port say {localhost : 8001 }. If you want both domain to run on same port then go for virtual IP's to be plumbed on your physical network interface and configure as,
    domain1 - { ip1 : 7001 }
    domain2 - { ip2 : 7001 }
    this way you will can access both domain admin console on same port.
    Remember, Weblogic resources cannot be shared between domain, however a single nodemanager will be enough to monitor both the domains.
    * rank it if answer is helpful :) *
    Thanks,

    Mac OS 10.5 /
    I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
    I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
    But my computer will not start from it on its own.
    My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info?  I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
    That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
    Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
    Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
    I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
    Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
    Thanks guys

    Okay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
    Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
    Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
    Anyway here we go...
    Okay so first things first....  Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
    I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
    2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
    -------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
    Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
    By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
    AND
    "Disconnected the primary HD"
    and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
    Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
    About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
    Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
    After a bit of trial and error...
    I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
    this setting is under
    Utilities / startup disk
    After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
    So upon this discovery
    I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
    Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
    Once highlighted ...
    In the heading section on the right I selected the option
    Erase
    in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
    I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
    I FORGOT to add something... 
    Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
    I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
    But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
    So back to the next step...
    I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
    But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
    So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
    Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
    My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
    It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
    The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!! 
    Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
    I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
    I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
    -------One more time the fix------
    *Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
    *Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
    *Reboot your machine...
    Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
    * you will then be prompted to select your language.
    Once selected
    *Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
    * Click restart...
    !!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
    If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
    In that case restart again.
    Upon restart once again
    *Choose your language...
    *Click Utilities / disk utility
    In the left column select and
    *Highlight your HD ...
    Then towards the top portion / center of the page
    *Click the heading Erase
    Then on the page toward the bottom
    *Click security options
    This will then provide erase options.
    I USED THE FIRST OPTION
    "Dont erase data"...
    *click OK
    * click erase...
    Once erased which should take a few seconds
    *Cancel the disk utility...
    * Click Utilities / startup
    And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
    * Select your drive from the list by highlighting
    It should no longer have a name.
    *Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
    Thats it!!!!
    Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
    Goodluck ;)

  • PowerMac G5 will not start up.

    Hello,
    I have a PowerMac G5 2.5GHZ Dual Processor (June 2004) that will not boot past the grey apple screen.
    It will not get to a second chime by holding Command-Option-P-R at startup.
    If I start up using Command-Option-O-F and enter reset-nvram (return) and reset-all (return) it freezes.
    I have pressed the PMU button once.
    It will start up using the hardware diagnostic disk and I can run the extended test multiple times (everything passes). When I press shut down or restart on the diagnostic screen, it freezes.
    It will not start up from the Leopard installer disk.
    It will not start up from the Disk Warrior startup disk.
    I did run Disk warrior on the hard drive via Target Disk Mode and another computer.
    Everything is disconnected from the computer except monitor, keyboard and mouse.
    I have swapped the RAM with another identical computer that runs fine.
    Battery has been tested and is fine.
    Does anybody have an idea of where to look?
    thanks
    Ken

    I seem to have similar issues. 3 out of about 40 times have I been able to get a second chime out of my pram reset...then I hols and get about 3 more. Each time...OS starts up and works just fine...until I sleep/shut down the computer. My drive has 5 gigs left on it, i hear that may be the issue. How do we remove the graphics card and reset that????
    oh and BTW...leaving the plastic door off and trying to reset PRAM worked 2 out of the 3 times for me. This is getting frustrating. Im gonna free up some drive space and see what happens. Let me know if/how the graphics card trick works. It's fairly ridiculous that so many of us have these same issues.

    # Example INIT.ORA file
    # This file is provided by Oracle Corporation to help you customize
    # your RDBMS installation for your site. Important system parameters
    # are discussed, and example settings given.
    # Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
    # For parameters that require different values in different size
    # installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
    # and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
    # installation size will have three settings, each one commented
    # according to installation size.
    # Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
    # three scenarious provided in this file:

    # Block 2K 4500K 6800K 17000K
    # Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K
    # To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
    # all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
    # of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
    # This way, when you change a public
    # parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
    # necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many
    # parameters. For example, if you choose to use private rollback segments,
    # these must be specified in different files, but since all gc_*
    # parameters must be the same on all instances, they should be in one file.
    # INSTRUCTIONS: Edit this file and the other INIT files it calls for
    # your site, either by using the values provided here or by providing
    # your own. Then place an IFILE= line into each instance-specific
    # INIT file that points at this file.
    # NOTE: Parameter values suggested in this file are based on conservative
    # estimates for computer memory availability. You should adjust values upward
    # for modern machines.

  • Panel does not start automatically in Gnome 2.24.3

    Since Gnome 2.24.3, the Gnome Panel does not start automatically.
    I had to manualy add it to the startup group via "Sessions" in order to force it to start when login finishes.
    Does anybody has the same behavior?
    Should I report it as a bug?

    That may be true but it is a real pain since when it happens the only way to recover is to terminate all of the iTunes modules with task manager and start it manually. It also leaves the IPOD in a state that says do not disconnect. You can disconnect since nothing is really happening but there is no excuse for this not to start much faster. When you have multiple users it is a real pain. It ought to be able to either end when finished or better yet allow multiple users simultaneously updating from different libraries.
    I guess i will just have to get in the habit of treating it as a single user and start and stop it every time I need it and be suer not to let it run. Not nice because that means waiting for larger Podcast downloads instead of having there ready for me when I sign on my computer.
