Major issue connecting to oracle

hello everyone i hope ill be able to get some assitence this problem has been giving me a major headache for 2 days, basically i set up our database and it was working fine for a couple of days, however one day last week it started becoming slow and unresponsive, so i shut it down and started it up again. its very fast for about 5-10 minutes then it appears to get bogged down even though theres a max of 10 people using it at any one time, and takes ages to respond if at all, this is when connecting through the application or connecting through EM or SQL developer, if i shut the database down and open it up again then the same thing occurs: its quick to start off with then slows down terriblely whats up with it? any ideas???

What is the version? both OS/DB
using oracle 10g
red hat enterprise 4

hardware config?
machine is duel core with 4 gigs of ddr2
How are the datafiles Spread across disks?
they are just put in one folder on another drive, we are not doing a great deal of processing this is a test database not a production one so i dont think its one of data access if thats a possible issue

Issue Connecting from Oracle Business Component Browser - adf-config.xml

There are similar posts in the forum to this, but I wasn't able to glean from them what I should do.
Essentially, I tried Connecting by:
right clicking on a node under a Model project, and selected TEST.
When the Oracle Business Component Browser - Connect Dialog window opened, I clicked CONNECT.The Oracle Business Component Browser (Local) seems to have opened fine, but in the message log I see this:
"jar:file:/C:/JDeveloper/jdev/doc/studio_doc/ohj/bc4j_f1.jar!/bc4j_f1.hs"

I'm not experienced enough to know whether this is significant or not, nor if so what I need to do about this.
Thank you to anyone who can help a newer person out with this.

Hi,
the adf-config.xaml file is not created by default and not needed by default. you need this to define custom skins or ADF Security.
For an example of adfs-config.xml doe skins see SRDemo sample app

Since downloading iOS 5 I'm having major issues connecting to wifi, same problem with my iPhone 4. help?

Ever since downloading iOS 5 yesterday i keep losing wifi connection on my iPad 2. When it's working the wifi holds for about a minute and then it goes again. I didn't have any problem before the download. Any suggestions would be gratefully received, thanks

I haven't gotten a new sim card because the problem has been presenting itself in various cards not only mine. So far, all I've done is reset my network settings.
Last night, I turned off the 3G tab and it had all the signal bars. Today, I did the network reset and it's working apparently. But like I said before, previously the bars just disappear and the iphone only has the 3G activated.

User permission issue in connecting to Oracle using java in Cent OS

Hi ,
I am facing a peculiar issue and since I am new to Cent OS, I hope somebody can help me.
I am using Cent OS 4.2 and I installed Oracle client 10.2 in cent os 4.2.
I am having a java application which connects to Oracle server in another Linux system using Oracle OCI driver which comes along with Oracle client
I have a user called user1 which belongs to group group1 as primary group and my application runs under this user user1.
This user is a member of oinstall group (which is the group for oracle uesr which has access to oracle client directories/files)
But when my application tries to connect to Oracle server, I am getting connectivity error saying "Oracle driver not found" or "cannot load libocijdbc10.so". All environment variables like ORACLE_HOME, PATH,CLASSPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set properly.
The permissions to Oracle folder/files are rwx for owner(oracle user) , rx for group(oinstall) and none for others
What we observed are
1. When the application is start under root user, it works
2. When we give rx permission to others, it works
3. When we make oinstall group as the primary group for my user user1, it works
My questions here
1. Why it is not working even though my user user1 is a member of oinstall group
2. Why it is working when I make oinstall as the primary group
3. Is there any difference in security policy of RHEL and Cent OS
4. How can I access libraries from multiple folders which created by different user and belongs to different groups, if this is the case
I never faced this issue in RHEL4
Hope some body can help me.
Regards
Sunil

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The error message I was referring to shows up in a pop-up windows when I try to run the program. The actual java error message (that shows up in the command prompt window) is as follows:

Am having major issues! this does not work i dont understand..does the ipod have to be off while pressing the buttons if so how is it possible if it is connected to the computer either way it turns on..and when i tried these steps while the ipod was on it

i am having major issues! this does not work i dont understand..does the ipod have to be off while pressing the buttons if so how is it possible if it is connected to the computer either way it turns on..and when i tried these steps while the ipod was on it still doesnt work it just asks me “slide to power off” please someone help me i just cant seem to put my ipod in DFU mode

To get the iPod in recovery mode and DFU mode you first have to turn the iPod off.
Just what is the problem you are tying to resolve?
Sometimes you have to let the battery fully drain if you can't turn the iPod off. After charging for at least hour try again.

Issue connecting to a second instance on a Oracle Linux Box.

Hi all. I have the following scenario.
- Two Oracle versions and instances on the same box (10g Rel2 and 11g Rel2).
- Due to lack of disk space i installed 11g on another ORACLE_BASE / ORACLE_HOME:

Which seems to be the problem here? Why can't i connect to the 11g instance using sqlplus?. I don't think it is related to enviroment since access can be done using local naming service.
Please help ...!
PD: i did not replace scripts on /usr/local/bin when installing 11g.

Both databases are running including :
- listener 1521 for 10g and 1525 for 11g-
An unnecessary complication that achieves nothing. A single listener, using the default name LISTENER and the default port 1521 is quite capable of -- WAS DESIGNED TO -- service multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. In a multi-version environment, you'll want to use the listener from the highest version.

Issues when trying to connect to Oracle database

Hi
We have set up a linked server in SQL Server to connect to an Oracle database. We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64 bit) on Windows Server 2008 and Oracle client 11g 11.02.00.01 connecting to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production using UTF8.
Most tables are selectable without error, however, we got this error message for some:
Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server 'OurLinkedServer' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[OraOLEDB.Oracle].Ourfieldname'. The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2.
This error message refers to a column of type char(3)
Will the characterset cause this error (I’ve read that SQL Server doesn’t support UTF8)?
If not, is there some other resolution that anyone can think of?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Tom

Thank You for replying, Justin!
Yes, I can connect successfully to the database through other tools - at the moment I tried SQL*Plus, Net8 Easy Config and Schema Manager.
The Oracle client in the NT machine is 8.0.5.0.0. And unfortunately I do not know anything about the Oracle installation on this machine and at the moment I don't have that person near me too whom to ask also. But I think the installation was ok, because the connection through ODBC was working before the DB upgrade as far as I understood (sorry, again at the moment I don't know what was the previous version of DB. I will ask that information as soon as possible).
The main problem that bothers me at the moment is that I can't install 8.1.* series OraODBC driver with 8.0.5.0.0 Oracle Installer. I managed to install 8.0.6.6.0 version of the driver, but not the newer ones. As far as I've understood I have to upgrade the whole Oracle in the NT machine to upgrade that installer. Am I correct?

Issue with creating oracle ODBC DSN connection

Hi all,
We have BO X! 3.1. We have created some webi reports. Our universe connection is created using following method.
= Created a DSN connection for oracle 10g database
= created Bo connection object by selecting Generic ODBC connection
= in the service name we have given DSN name and tested successfully.
we have created reports universe under Windows environment.
= Now we deployed Biar file of the same on SOLARIS server.
We have created odbc connection in odbc.ini on solaris.
we have used path "/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini"
We have used "/BOXIR3/bobje/enterprise120/solaris_sparc/odbc/lib/libsqora.so.10.1" driver
But when we test connection after deployment connection fails. giving error
" A database error occured. The database error text is:. (WIS 10901)"
Can anybody suggest me right method to create ODBC connection for oracle 10g on SOLARIS.
Thanks in advance.
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
You said your odb.ini is at the location "/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini". Verify if environment variable ODBCINI is pointing to this location. For this do a echo $ODBCINI. This should return the path of your odbc.ini file. If this command returns empty, that means this variable is not set. In this case you will have to set your ODBCINI using the below command.
If you are using bash shell
export ODBCINI=/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini.
if this does not work try
set ODBCINI=/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini
Thanks

Yes . - Even I am trying to get help on this. We are trying to create dynamic List of Values for reports in excel. Right now, the way we are creating lov's is to land data on another sheet and have the main report refer to it.

There appears to be a MAJOR issue (hang/memory leak) in "about:home", also known as the Firefox Start Page, in Firefox 26.0 on Windows!

There appears to be a MAJOR issue (hang/memory leak) in "about:home", also known as the Firefox Start Page, in Firefox 26.0, on Windows!
observed on:
- Windows 7 x64 machine with 12GB RAM and high-performance CPU (core i7-920)
- Virtual Machine guest running WinXP SP3 (in Oracle VirtualBox) on the same machine
- Intel Atom D525 netbook with 4GB RAM, running Win7 x64
Neither of these machines are connected via Sync or anything like that. The Firefox instance on the VM is a fresh/clean install.
The problem:
- 100% cpu usage for 10 seconds, memory usage (PF usage in XP) goes up to 1.7GB
- if "about:home" is the Firefox Start Page, effectively it hangs the computer at Firefox startup for 10 seconds
- if "about:home" is NOT the Firefox Start Page, startup is fine - BUT if I press the "home" button on the toolbar it loads "about:home" which causes the same issue again

Thank you cor-el! Your suggestion has solved the problem on my WinXP VM which I was using to test, and I will soon confirm that it has also solved the problem on my primary Win7 desktop.
To recap:
- I set "browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl" to an empty string
OLD VALUE: https://snippets.mozilla.com/%STARTPAGE_VERSION%/%NAME%/%VERSION%/%APPBUILDID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/
NEW VALUE: (blank)
- I deleted the folder \storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home under the Profile directory
Actual folder name on WINDOWS XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<PROFILENAME>\storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home
However I have a concern that the '''OLD VALUE''' of "browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl" will creep back in, in a future update! Can you communicate this issue to someone on the development team?

R4 EA - Connecting to Oracle 11.1

What are the correct JDBC drivers to connect to Oracle 11.1 from SQL Developer 4.0? I can connect to a local Oracle Express DB and a remote Oracle 11.2 DB but when connecting to an 11.1 DB I get:
An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
Vendor code 17002
I've tried the JDBC 11.2 and 11.1 drivers with no luck. I can connect to the same DB from SQL Developer 3.1 with no issues.
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Java 1.7.0_25 64bit
SQL Developer 4.0.0
thanks,

Thought I has posted this a few days ago. Sorry.
I had Use OCI/Thick driver unchecked in both 3.2 and 4.0 and 4.0 would not connect. I checked the box in 4.0 and now it connects. I have been using 3.1 for over a year and 3.2 configured at the same time as 4.0. The information you asked for is below.

Excel-2007 cannot connect to Oracle ODBC data source, Control Panel can.


I cannot make an ODBC connection from Exce-2007 to Oracle work. I am an expert Excel and VBA user (since 1994) and I have frequently used Excel to access ODBC databases, including Oracle (I have done this with Excel-2003 both with worksheet queries and have written VBA ADO-connection routines). And even though in Excel-2007 a worksheet ODBC query is supposed to be easier to create than in previous version of Excel, my connection fails. Any suggestions and all help are welcome and much appreciated.
DETAILS


1) What is my system? I am using Excel-2007 on Windows Vista x64 and Oracle server v.11g on my computer (all this is on my computer, no network issues).
2) Why use Excel with Oracle at all? I use Excel-2007 to access Oracle rather than Access-2007 (or any other application like TOAD, etc.) because I do engineering calculations with the data stored in Oracle. These calculations are easier done in Excel (I suppose that one alternative to this could be to use some sql or Access to get the data from the database, then store it as plain vanilla CSV file, then open this file in Excel, then do the math (the math involves complex optimisation algorithms), then save the results as CSV, then use some sql or Access to put the data back into the database. Howwever this does not strike me as a quick or neat solution. And after all Excel has been designed to access ODBC databases, so why not use it?)
3) What do I do in Excel-2007 that won't work? I create an ODBC link to Oracle that does not work. In Excel-2007 this is straightforward:

<ul>
<li>define an ODBC connection (Data tab --> From other sources --> From data connection wizard);</li>
<li>define a query on the worksheet -- that's it, this is all!</li>
</ul>

I start with creating an ODBC connection:
a) I choose an ODBC data source type: ODBC DSN
b) Excel-2007 displays the list of the available ODBC data sources. I see in it my Oracle database name and I select it.
c) Excel-2007 displays the Data Link Properties:
- the "Provider" has a list of the OLE DB drivers with preselected "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers". I keep this default selection.
- the "Connection" tab has a connection string "DSN=<my database name>" which I keep, it also has fields for the user name and the password, which I fill with the correct credentials.
- Finally there is a button "Test Connection", which when I click produces the following error message:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. 
Unespecified error"

4) Additional food for thought:
a) In the above walk-through the only data, which I type, are the user name and password, everything else is selected from lists offered by Excel-2007, hence any possibility of typos being the cause of the problem can safely be discarded.
b) I can test the ODBC driver in the Control Panel and it shows that it can connect to the Oracle database:
- in Control Panel --> Admin Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC) on the "User DSN" tab I can see the list of the available ODBC data sources (same list as in Excel-2007, point 3b above) with the name of my database in it;
- selecting the name of my database from the list of the sources and clicking "Configure" button opens a tab with Data Source Name (same as in Excel-2007), TNS Service Name and User ID. I enter <user name>/<password> and click "Test Connection" button. A message "Connection successful" appears (just for a test I enter incorrect user credentials and "Unable to connect" message appears)
BOTTOM LINE


The procedure for using an ODBC connection from Excel is very simple, in the past I have created and used such connections numerous times with Excel-2003 and earlier on Win-XP and earlier. But now on Excel-2007 and Vista-x64 I cannot make it work.
Also, testing an ODBC connection driver is really easy and simple to be done in the Control Panel. There testing the same ODBC connection, which fails in Excel-2007, results in success.
I am frustrated by the simplicity of the problem and yet the persistant error. I have lost now two full days in failed attempts to make the simple procedure work and in searching the internet for answers.
All help is highly appreciated <img class="emoticon" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" />,

Did you find the solution to your problem?
If not, I think I may know.
Excel 2007 is a 32-bit application.
When installing 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment, the "default" location is:
C:\Program files (x86)\...
Excel then launches from this location.
However, when it connects to Oracle and passes the name of the calling program, Oracle attempts to "interpret" the value of (x86) as if
the value within the parenthesis are being passed as a reference. Of course, iOracle doesn't find anything, so the result is (),
and then it cannot return the connection info back to the calling application.
I corrected it by installing Excel in C:\Program Files\, and once launched from that location, it works the same as on the 32-bit machines.
However, at my location, they are FORCING Excel to be installed in the(x86) location.
What I'm trying to discover now is:
Is it possible to flag Oracle to NOT process the embedded variables?
Or, is it possible to assign a variable in Oracle such that x86 = "(x86)", so that the end result is viable?
Have you had any luck with your installation?
thanks,
Paul

Crystal Report 9 crashes while trying to connect to Oracle

Post Author: sminabe
CA Forum: General
Hi,I'm having trouble with Crystal Report 9 and wondering if someone could give me a clue.When I try to connect to Oracle using "Refresh" button, Crystal Report 9 crashes everytime.And, the following error appears in the Application Event Log.Faulting application crw32.exe, version 9.2.3.1699, faulting module crqe.dll, version 9.2.1.1839, fault address 0x00009007.Environment:Crystal Report Version: Crystal Report 9 SP7OS: Windows 2003 Server SP1CPU: Intel Xeon CPUOther Major Applications: Oracle 9i, Citrix Presentation Server 4.0Other Facts:- This happens to every Crystal Report files on the machine.- The same Crystal Report files work fine on other machine with exactly the same environment ex) OS ver/CR ver/Installed app...- I could never connect ot Oracle successfully on this machine - it's not like it used to work before.Things that I have tried:- I have tried reinstallation of CR9 without uninstalling but it didn't work.- I have uninstalled CR9 and installed it again and then restarted the machine but it didn't work.- I originally tried without any SP installed and applied SP7 afterwards but the results were the same.- I tried turning on and off the DEP (Data Execution Protection) for CR9. But the results were the same.Can someone give me an advice what I should try from here, please?Let me know if you want more info.Many thanks,Seiji

Also, see this ARTICLE from the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, for things to look at with crashes and hangs. It covers the hardware, the OS and the software, and offers links for tuning up the system, and getting it ready for video editing. I know that there is a lot of material in there, but Neale has done a great job of putting things into a checklist, and offering links to other material.
That rec. is for use along with John T's links, which are a bit more specific to your burned DVD's.

Not able to connect with Oracle server through VBScript without DSN

Hi
I have both Oracle9i and Oracle10g clients installed with local system.
I am able to connect to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise edition server though sqlplus through command prompt and also through AQT without any error.
As the server has lots of database ,whenever I connect to a particular database through sqlplus from command prompt,I connect as below
C:>sqlplus username/password@service_name
and it gets connected without any error.
When I am trying to connect the same database through VB Script,I am getting ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adaptor Error.
Below is the connection string I am using:
Database_String = "SERVER=xxxx.vvvn.Com;Driver={Oracle in OraHome92};DATABASE=service_name;user id=userid; password=passowrd"
I have installed a Oracle10g server in my local system and tried to connect the same way and I was successfully ,but its not working when the server is running remotely.
Does it make any difference with the version of driver being used ?Should I need to modify my connection string anyway.
Please help me as to identify the issue.Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Sahina

lsnrctl status
