Problem connecting DataBase Link from windows oracle to oracle on Linux

I'm facing a problem with database links from windows oracle to Oracle hosted on Linux server.
I'm able to successfully create the Database Link using the following query on oracle database hosted on a windows server
CREATE DATABASE LINK SampleDB
CONNECT TO myuser IDENTIFIED BY password
USING 'sample';
The tns names entry on windows for database in Linux server is as follows
DSOFT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.100)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = sample)
But while executing the query "select count(*) from doctor@SampleDB;" in sql developer on windows, I'm getting the following error
SQL Error: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
12154. 00000 - "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
*Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
naming method repository, or the repository could not be
located or reached.
Using the above tns entries, i'm successfully able to connect to the database in Linux server through sql developer installed on the windows machine. Then why i'm getting this error while executing the query on Database Link?. Can any one help me?

Can any one help me?A database link is acting as a client to the target, remote database in exactly the same fashion and using exactly the same tns infrastructure as any other client trying to connect to that remote database. your ORA-12154 when querying a db link means exactly the same as if you had gotten it trying to connect with sqlplus, from the same server. Check the link SB provided. Keep in mind that the tnsnames file of concern is the one on the source database server.

Can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003.

Hi,
We want to know can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003 server; if yes, please share with us the OS migration document.
Regards,
R Mav

> Our SAP 4 O B is on windows NT and oracle version is 8.0.5 and wants to do OS migration from NT to win. 2003.
Neither Oracle 8.0 nor 8i were releases on Windows 2003, they won't work and are not released.
So I'm afraid the only way you can go is Windows 2000.

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database
please give the comments

Well, the question is almost philosophic... 
In 9i, there is a Migration Guide whereas in 10g there is a Upgrade Guide. 
Furthermore, in 9i, there is the command line startup migrate whereas in 10g that's startup upgrade.
Somebody think upgrade when go to new release, and migration when go to new version. 
Others think upgrade when new version replace database in place, and migration when new version include a move of database. 
Another point of view is : upgrade is for technical, and migration for application/data. 
 
Well, after these explanations, your upgrade/migratation notion will not be more clear, but I think that is not very important, only a terminology game. The most important is to know what you need : new version or new release.

How to remove Oracle 11g client from Windows 7 64-bit workstation.

When the Oracle 11g client was installed on a Windows 7 64-bit workstation, it was mistakenly installed as "Administrator".
We do not wish to do this; instead we want to install this client as a user with Administrator privileges.
PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BEFORE REPLYING TO THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!
When I try to install the client, I get a message sending me to this directory:
F:\app\Administrator
I do not know why this message is produced; the directory it refers to DOES NOT EXIST.
My suspicion is that there extraneous entries in the registry which have not been removed; the obvious ones such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE have been deleted.
What I believe I need is a COMPLETE list of entries placed in the registry upon installation of the Oracle client.
The obvious problem is that the Uninstall feature of Oracle client does NOT FULLY remove all of the above entries.
As a side note, the Oracle client software installation needs to be revamped to detect situations such as this and provide a course of corrective actions.

I've not done it yet with 11g, but prior editions, there are 3 things that have to be done to eradicate an oracle client installation from Windows, after running uninstaller
1) delete the registry key HKLM\software\oracle
2) delete the ORACLE_HOME directory from the file system
3) delete c:\Program Files\oracle

Migrating to Oracle Reports 6i from Oracle Report 9i

Hi all,
We re-compiled original Forms & Reports 6i source code with Oracle 9i Forms & Reports.
Forms are working really nice with almost no change at all with Oracle 9ias Forms services and Oracle 8i as db. The Oracle 9ias server is W2k. Will be upgrading to oracle 9i db in a short time.
The only change we applied to forms source code was the function to call reports. We are using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() instead of RUN_PRODUCT.
i.e. the URl is formed in all reports as
http://ip_address:port/reports/rwservlet?DESTYPE=cache&DESFORMAT=PDF&userid=user/passwd@dbname&report=f:\web\formas\ametas\REP_DET_METAS_DPTO.REP&estrategia_par='08'&centro_par=249&depto_par=27100&anio_par=2003&TRIMESTRE_PAR=1
At the beginning we used directly the 6i reports but they were running inconsistently, after several calls to reports they got stock and we did need to reboot report services.
Then as a suggestion we re-build only two reports in reports 9i for testing. But same result when running in combination with 6i reports. Combination means, sometimes called 6i reports someothers reports in 9i.
The reports run fine several times but inconsistently. What I mean is that they can be running normaly many times and suddenly the reports server sends this message
REP-50002:Server is shutting down
DBA reported this issue to our local support but they said configuration is ok.
In other tests and only running 9i reports it seems not getting stock never, at least we run two 9i reports more than 40 times. So the problem seems to be when we run 9i reports in combination with 6i reports. We are planning to migrate all our reports but this mean to rebuild all reports again.
Is someone facing this kind of problem?
Or is this the only solution? Losting men/machine hours rebuilding the reports.
Any suggestion for my DBA to check in configuration?

Sorry for the confusion the subject for this issue should be

Protect Oracle Database Data from Network Administrators

first: is there any kind of solution to protect the access to the database from Domain Network admins?
we know ( ora_dba ) users can login to the database with a blank password,
second: is there any way to encrypt all the database data on all tables using any kind of products ?
thanks in advance

Migrate hundreds of Oracle databases to RHEL/Windows using DP/TTS/Shareplex

Am working on devising a migration strategy for several Oracle databases from one physical data-center location to another data-center location through dedicated WAN links. Overall snapshot:
Total 365 Dbs (28 to Oracle RAC 11gR2 and approx. 300 to DataGuard and Standalone). Source Databases versions are Oracle 9.2.0.4/9.2.0.7/10.2/10.2.0.4/11.2/11.2.0.4.
Source Databases are currently on different versions of Linux/HPUX/AIX/Windows OS. Target Database OS platform(most of them): RHEL 5.8/RHEL 6(atleast for Unix) and Windows. Plan is to migrate same versions and not upgrade(due to applications dependency). am thinking of using
-Oracle Datapump
-Transportable Tablespaces+RMAN scripting(for target datafiles)
-Shareplex for Databases in TB (this tool allows ZDT, zero-downtime migration/from Quest software)
Also my Storage/SAN colleague is using Swing gear (AUTO-LUN+BC) to migrate virtualizing the storage arrays from Source to Target location. Is it possible to "piggyback" on this SAN-level migration of the "physical" datafiles and then use Shareplex to migrate the archivelogs and apply them over to Target databases?
Need your inputs please. Thanks in advance..
Abhijit

Abhijit,
If you haven't had any feedback yet then the best option is to ask this question in the Database forum -
Forum: Database - General
General Database Discussions
This forum is for migratiing from non-Oracle to Oracle databases and they will be better able to help moving Oracle from one machine to another.

please let me know from where I can download 64-Bit 10g R2 Oracle Enterprise DB for 64-bit MS windows server 2003
Have posted in
English » Technology Network Community » Downloads section haven't seen any replies

Thanks in Advance

If you are running the x64 version of Windows 2003 and not the Itanium version, you will find 10.2.0.1 here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winx64soft.html
You may then patch it to 10.2.0.3 by downloading the patch from Metalink.
