Need help in setting connection time out in Oracle 9i

My firewall is causing problems in that it is causing me to have timeout problems when tyring to start my Oracle 9i database.
The best solution is to reset my connect_timeout taht is to be found in listener.ora. But this has been replaced by initial_retry_timeout (I think) for Oracle 9i.
initial_retry_timeout is to be found in sqlnet.ora in
C:\oracle\ora90\networkADMIN\SAMPLE
it is set to 30
#name.initial_retry_timeout = 30
There is another sqlnet.ora file in C:\oracle\ora90\network\ADMIN all these contains is:
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\ora90\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
I added the following line to this file restarted my PC but time out still took 30 secs.
I dont have much experience of databases apart from writing sql and store procedures.
So I have no idea apart from pure guess work in trying to sort thsi problem out.
Thanks for any help.

names.initial_retry_timeout = 5

You do not indicate whether you are using the Oracle Names server. The names.initial_retry_timeout tells Oracle Net how long to wait, in seconds, for a response from an Oracle Names server before it attempts the next in your preferred list. You indicated, however, that you were having a problem with your firewall. The only connection this setting has with a firewall is that the firewall may be causing the connection to the Oracle Names server to timeout. If that is your problem, then adjust the value of this parameter to increase or decrease the delay before Oracle Net attempts the next server in your preferred list. If, on the other hand, your problem is in connecting to a database, then this parameter will have no effect.
What I do not understand is how your firewall can cause problems with starting your database. Is this a software firewall running on your PC? If so, what program is it? You should be able to setup a rule in the firewall software to permit the connection.
Kind Regards,

  • BPC: SOA and setting connection time outs in BPC

    Hi All,
    can any one explain SOA architecture of BCP and how it improves performance?
    My understanding of SOA arcitecture is it breaks down large application into small modules called services.
    Here what are the services it is refering to?
    And in SOA arcitecture, is the client connected to server only when it requests for a service and connection terminates after the service is provided?
    If that is the case, what is the need for setting connection time outs to improve BPC performance.
    Any Help is Greatly appreciated.

    SOA = services oriented architecture
    is a method for systems development and integration where functionality is grouped around business processes and packaged as interoperable services. SOA also describes IT infrastructure which allows different applications to exchange data with one another as they participate in business processes. The aim is a loose coupling of services with operating systems, programming languages and other technologies which underlie applications.[1] SOA separates functions into distinct units, or services[2], which are made accessible over a network in order that they can be combined and reused in the production of business applications.[3] These services communicate with each other by passing data from one service to another, or by coordinating an activity between two or more services. SOA concepts are often seen as built upon, and evolving from older concepts of distributed computing[3][2] and modular programming.
    So SOA is not implemented for performances reason and it is more for integration.

  • I need help with setting up time machine for backup

    I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

    You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
    Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.
    The backups are automatic.

  • I am trying to update my iPhone 3gs. Every time the download is complete, the connection "times out". Can somebody help me please?

    My connection times out everytime the installation for the software update is complete. I have tried multiple times ans still the same thing happens. Can somebosy help me please?

    Yes it does matter whether you're doing an update or an upgrade. To find out which, under the Apple menu, select About this Mac. It will tell you which OS you currently have installed. Since it didn't come originally with OS 10.9, if About this Mac says it's 10.7.X or 10.8.X, you'll need to go to the Apple App Store program and download Mavericks (which is Mac OS X 10.9) and run the installer. If it does say you have 10.9, see if it says 10.9.1, since you might have Software Update set to install updates automatically. Otherwise, are you running Software Update and that's when the circle is spinning constantly?
    BTW, are you sure you want to upgrade to Mavericks (if that's what you're doing)? Check on the Mavericks forum to see the problems users are having with it.

  • High number of "The connection has timed out" errors. Where do I set the time out period (variable and file name) - windows 7

    I usually use a wireless network at home and have very few time out problems with Firefox.
    I am travelling and using Optus Wireless broadband where the average ping to a site is 700+ms .
    I suspect that this is the cause of the high number of timeouts I am experiencing.
    Optus say there are no problems so I think I will have to set the timeout to a longer period.
    Please advise what variable name/s (and in which file) the timeout is set for LOADING PAGES.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Greg Atkinson.
    By the way the same is happening in IE8
    and on many sites other than the Yahoo one below.
    ================Full Error Page ==============
    URL is http://au.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=81jkv757qfdqt
    =========================================
    The connection has timed out
    The server at au.mg4.mail.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Having the same problem 4 out of 5 times I try to navigate to a new site I get the error "connection has timed out".
    My I phone works fine on the same wireless connection so it must be something to do with the computer. The problem occurs on IE, firefox, and google chrome.
    I too would like to know how to how to either fix this problem or failing that to extend the length of time before the connection times out (which is currently only about 5 seconds).
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 2
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 5
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 6
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

  • I need help in setting up a wireless connection

    I need help in setting up a wireless connection.
    I have a 2005 iMac G5 and currently I am using a Qwest DSL Modem with a Belkin router.
    Qwest suggested that I buy a new wireless modem/router. It may be the Motorola 3347 or another wireless modem. I am worried about security when on the internet and have read about changing the SSID password and use the WPA for encryption. All of this is a mystery to me.
    Also, I would like to buy from Directv the Linksys wireless adapter to use on my HD-DVR receiver to get their “On Demand Movies.”
    My question is, does my iMac G5 have all of the security I need to use a wireless modem, and with the Linksys adapter can I view my photos or DVD’s in iMovie wirelessly to my TV in the living room?
    I am concerned about security with a wireless setup, but it seems that all of the new TV’s have the ability to have a wireless connection to the internet.
    Any suggestions would help me.
    Thanks,

  • Already have wireless network, need help for set up of time capsule for wired backup only.

    Hello all -
    I have a time capsule that plugs into wall and used a wireless network to back up computer.  It would always mess up internet afterwards so I would unplug the time capsule and reset internet until the next back up.  my time capsule now will not link into my computer. It just flashes amber.  Spoke with apple and was told to come on here and ask for help for setting up time capsule for a wired backup only and to mention that I have a wireless network.
    Hope any of this makes sense.
    Thank You!!

    Spoke with apple and was told to come on here and ask for help
    Really?  The paid professionals at Apple told you to post on a forum where users.....just like you....are trying to answer questions?  We'll try to help, though.
    For starters, please tell us the make and model of the modem/router that you have now that is providing your wireless network.

  • Connection time out error

    Hello sir,
    Whenever i install addon on SAP B1 i get connection time out error can anyone help me

    Manish,
    it depends on how you set your connection. it must be through command line argument. if you have set your connection string as
    sConnectionString = "0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056"
    then change it to
    sConnectionString = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs.GetValue(1)
    and  give the connection string 0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056 as your command line argument in project properties -- Debug tab. prepare the addon ard and try installing it.

  • JRun request connection time out

    Hi,
    I have a servlet which takes more time(Greater than 10 mins)

    I remember setting connetion time out in IIS, so I think it
    should be here in JRun webserver configuration.
    Any form of help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    The log file you have attached is from the JRun connector,
    not from JRun

  • HT201210 i keep getting a error msg saying network connection time out.

    Im trying to updat my iphone to new software and keep getting a error msg saying network connection times out. Plz help!!!!

    Thank you for the reply.
    Yes, this error message is in regard to my MacBook Pro.  The reason it's filed here under iPhone is because the error message appeared again when I tried to updae iOS, again (and I wasn't allowed to because I need more room on my Startupdisk), so I simply clicked on the link taking me here to Apple Communities.   And yes I have already empited my trash (I did this each time I cleared old docs off my compuer, so this wasn't a solution for today).  
    Might you have any other ideas?   I am really at a loss......
    Also, where is the Startup disk located?  I can't find any folder labeled "startup disk".   Am I supposed to find this folder and delete files from it?

  • Incompatible Security and Connection time out

    Ok, since installing leopard, I have not been able to connect to the stronger of my two wireless connections. The weak on, which is WPA connects fine, when I can get a strong enough signal. The second, WEP (I know, people say it's weak, but thats what I have.) But the password I put in, and it is the correct password, keeps saying that it is the wrong password when I do the "assist me" option.
    When I just try to connect using the drop down menu on the airport icon, it says "incompatible security" and once in a while, it will say "connection time out".
    I did a search, but none of the solutions here have worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because as a student I need the wireless connection for homework purposes, and I cant tolerate a weak connection.
    Please help

    Hi.
    I can't connect to WEP networks either with Leopard 10.5.1.
    It just says "incompatible Security". I've tried it for one hour without any luck.
    Why doesn't Apple realize that there are millions of WEP encrypted networks out there and that it is essential to be able to connect to them. (it worked with Tiger, didn't it?)
    Is there a knowledge base article out there what to do about it?
    I just can't walk to hotel managers and ask them to switch to WPA, especially if they don't have a clue how to do that and older windows computers won't be able to connect any more.
    Why a transparent menu bar but no way to connect to WEP networks?
    I'm very disappointed. Apple, fix this! (now!)
    Is there actually a way to get your money back for Leopard if this basic things don't work anymore?
    Thank you for any help.

  • How do you avoid Connection Time Out when using Migration Assistant

    Connection Time Out occurred when trying to use Migration Assistant to Transfer filess from a Windows Computer to a new iMac.  What do I do to avoid this?
    I've connected the Windows computer to the iMac using an ethernet cable and both computers are on the same network.  When I started the transfer, it said it was copying the first file on both machines but nothing was happening.  Then finally it said there was a Connection Time out.  Is there anything else I need to check?

    I suspect it has something to do with your network settings on your PC. I'd recommend calling AppleCare right away. you have 90 days of free AppleCare telelphone support, they can help walk you through the process. Also if you haven't already i'd strongly recommend Pondini's guide to using Migration Assistant. You can locate it by clicking:
