Opca could not connect to the specified database

I have both Oracle 9.2 database and Oracle 9iAS R2 Standard Edition installed in my same home pc. The origin database name is FIRST and the listener port is 1526.
My pc's host name is mypc.chen.com and the IP address in my local LAN is 192.168.0.1. I have no DNS server.
In "hosts" file I added a line: 192.168.0.1 mypc.chen.com
While running opca to install Portal, I entered password of SYS login of database FIRST and connection string "mypc.chen.com:1526:first". I got error message saying "could not connect to the specified database".
In Net8 Assistant local Profile, the naming method was HOSTNAME. But I got the same error message when I change it to TNSNAMES.
Please if anyone can help.
Thanks a lot.

This is a security feature introduced in 11.5.10, and it will not allow any client to connect to the database unless in it registered on the system through OAM.

"Could not connect to the ConfigMgr site database" problem with SCCM

The scenario is:
- SCCM 2007 SP1 installed on one server
- SQL 2008 installed on the other server
- Console was also installed on the SCCM server.
Everything was working just fine for about three months. As of few days ago, out of nowhere, I cannot open the console at all, it gives me this error:
" The ConfigMgr console could not connect to the ConfigMgr site database. Verify that this computer has network connectivity to the SMS Provider computer and that your user account has Remote Activation permissions on both
the ConfigMgr site server and SMS Provider computers. For more information, see "How to Configure DCOM Permissions for Configuration Manager Console Connections" in ConfigMgr Help. "
I confirmed all permissions (DCOM) and group settings (SMS Admin) and everything looks fine. I also noticed one other thing and I have a feeling its related - I log on to SCCM server and then from there I try to start RDP
connection to SQL server. I can connect, but as soon as I move the mouse or try clicking somewhere it breaks the connection and the "Trying to re-connect" window appears. It can`t establish normal RDP connection. If I try from any other server to SQL, it works
fine...
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Could not connect to the database

I have installed Oracle 11.5.10.2 and ADI 7.1.3.10.5
I can logon to oracle 11i but I cannot logon to ADI using the same username and password of oracle 11i.
In the ADI define databases form I have the following:
GWYUID: applsyspub/pub
FNDNAM: apps
NCA Connection: (blank)
Server ID: (blank)
I receive the following message:
''Could not connect to the database. Invalid Username or Password''
I can use tnsping and tnsping80 successfully from the client.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you.

Starting from 11.5.10 and above, you have to provide the 'Server ID'. Change the current value of 'Server ID' to match APPL_SERVER_ID value found in your dbc file.
Find the dbc file under:
$FND_TOP/secure directory
The Server ID field is one of the parameters used in setting up the database definition in ADI.

hi bsubbu
your password of custom application user schema at database level should be similar with the password at application level
for instance your custom application schema name and password is xxgis/xxgis , we register this schema at application site by this navigation
security> oracle > register >database username (xxgis) > password (xxgis)
here you might have change your custom application user's password at database level using
alter user xxgis identified by newpassword;
change this user password at application site also :
security> oracle > register> database username (xxgis) > password (newpassword)
i understand this from the document

Error "Test Agent could not connect to the test controller" while configuring the Test Agent on Client machine

Hi,
I am getting an Error “Test Agent could not connect to the test controller”
while configuring The Test Agent on Client machine.
Pre-requisite used:
VS2012 update 4, Test agent & Test controller of same version used
User has TFS admin access.
Same user id used for configuring Test Agent.
Description:
Test controller is installed on server A. I want to install test agent on client machine B.
Windows Fire wall is OFF on both Machines A & B. While configuring Test Agent below error is occurred:
“Test Agent could not connect to the test controller”
In log file error was “I, 2015/04/02, 15:32:21.723, Could not get the status from the test agent. Exception: Failed to connect to an IPC Port: The system cannot find the file specified.”
In Event viewer below error details given:
Unable to connect to the controller on ‘My Server: 6901’. The agent can connect to the controller but the controller cannot connect to the agent because of following reason: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found.
Make sure that the firewall on the test agent machine is not blocking the connection.
Could you please help me to find solution?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kanchan,
So on each computer, you create a local user account that is a member of the Administrators group, and use the same account and password on each machine(controller and Agent), am I right?
Could you enable the detailed log message?

This application does not fail in other databases, only in which I have the problem.
The connection to the database through the SQLPLUS and other applications works well. The error is presented only when calling reports from the application.
Another point is that the problem is presented with some users and not with others even they have the same conditions as roles, profiles, grant objects, etc.
If i run my report with the following url applying directly on address bar of web browser then it run fine on web browser
http://hostname.domain:port/reports/rwservlet?report=myreport.jsp&userid=un/pw@db&destype=cache&desformat=PDF
OAS 10g and Database are on different machines.
Please... any idea about this problem?
Thanks!!

I use a report object, imagine that sends connect information when creating the Job in the reports server.
However the same problem happens if I call to report from the Internet Explorer with all parameters of connectivity, for example;
http://hostname.domain:port/reports/rwservlet?report=myreport.rep&userid=un/pwdb@&destype=cache&desformat=PDF
The only difference in this database is that it is configured in a RAC and as I mentioned the problem occurs with some users and not with others, even if they are identical.
Thank for your help!

Shared Services database content not found in the specified database."

Trying to configure Version 11 and get the error: "Shared Services database content not found in the specified database". Relevant details on my issue as below:
- I'm running Windows 7 and SQL Server 2008 on my local machine.
- I did have a previous installation of Hyperion 9 on my machine which I uninstalled before installing 11. However, after uninstalling, I could still see the Hyperion EPM (empty folders) in my "All Programs", which I manually deleted.
- Now I've installed Essbase 11, and for now am trying to configure Hyperion Foundation only (Common Settings and Configure Database is greyed out, I checked deploy to applicaiton server. I left the calculation manager and workspace blank).
- The next window is the "Configure Shared Services and Database Registry" option. I chose "Perform 1st time Configuration of Shared Services Database". When I enter the relevant details, I got the error mentioned above. My error log file entries are as below:

I believe version 11 supports Windows 7, but correct me if I'm wrong. What's going on here? Any suggestions on what I should try ?

Actually when I installed version 9, I never got around to configuring shared services and so never had a shared services database in SQL Server to begin with.
One question about the registry entry you told me to delete: The (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions) which currently exists would be the entry for version 11 which I have installed right? It's the only entry for Hyperion Solutions in the registry.
After uninstalling versino 9, C:/hyperion still existed on my machine (though it didnt have all the subfolders which it did prior to uninstalling), so I manually deleted it before installing verison 11.
I wouldn't mind installing it on a compatible version of windows, but the thing is that at this point this is all that is available to me.
and I don't have any other oracle products.
thanks....

Shared Services database content not found in the specified database - EPM

I installed three VM machines (Workstation) for the following on Windows 2003 OS:
VM1 : Oragle DB 11g, Shared Services. Workspace
VM2 : Financial Management, EPMA, Calc Manager
VM3 : Microsoft Active Directory
I have configured Database and Shared services successfully and all machines talk to one another.
Also, I created the appropriate table spaces for the Hyperion products with the right access on the database. And, I am able to connect from the client (VM 2 to the Database VM 1)using SQLplus.
When I tried to configure Financial Management, using the EPM System Configurator and put in the following values:
Database Type: Oracle
Server: VMDatabase (Name of VM1)
Port: 1521
SID ORCL
Username: HFM
password: *********
It returned the error message: "*Shared Services database content not found in the specified database*"
Can someone please help on what I need to check, Please!?
Thanks for your time.
K

Hi,
Information from Oracle Support:
Shared Services database content not found in specified database
Cause
There is a flag in the shared services repository that indicates the shared services database is to be used as a registry. If that flag is not set, the configtool will not re-configure the database as a shared services repository.
Solution
Note: Make sure the Shared Services repository is backed up before doing any Shared Services Registry changes.
The registry flag isRegistryDB must exist and be set to true on the Shared Services Database Connection.
epmsys_registry.bat VIEW DATABASE_CONN
Find the shared services database registry entry. The entry in bold will be missing. The italicized item is the 'unique_id' referenced later (different in each installation).
COMPONENT - 3
NAME - Database:ORCL:HSS
ID - +11d1def534ea1be07ad8eb3012d2e3d310a7ff4+
TYPE - DATABASE_CONN
HOST - Database
HYPERION HOME - /home/hypadmin/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1
PROPERTIES -
isRegistryDB = true
dbUserName = HSS
dbJDBCDriverProperty = oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
dbJdbcUrl = jdbc:oracle:thin:@Database:1521:ORCL
registryDatasource = EPMSystemRegistry
registryDatasourceJNDI = jdbc/EPMSystemRegistry
dbName = ORCL
version = 9.5.0.0
dbPort = 1521
instance_home = /home/hypadmin/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1
dbPassword = GABaMyyplja+wLNCmLs8ag==
Run the following update to populate the isRegistryDB flag with the unique_id being the ID field used in the DATABASE_CONN registry entry.
epmsys_registry.bat addproperty #unique_id/@isRegistryDB true
Repeat the epmsys_registry VIEW DATABASE_CONN to make sure the flag is now set.
You will be able to reconfigure the shared services repository.
You can mark it as Answer/Helpful if you feel so.
Cheers!

Contribute could not connect because the server is down"

My client tries to connect to the website with Contribute and
gets the error "Contribute could not connect because the server is
down" however I connect with no problems, using Contribute or
Dreamweaver.
I sent him a new connection key but the same error.
Only problem I ever have is that sometimes I get a "can't
save files to shared something-or-other" on exit after
administrating, but I don't know if that's related or not - it
never seems to affect anything at my end.
Please help! Thanks

OK, problem solved here:
The access denied or file does not exist error was being
caused by the fact there was a 0KB index file somehow.
Once we got rid of that we still had the "Contribute could
not connect because the server is down or not accpeting
connections" error to get round.
I had previously asked my client to go in an change the FTP
settings in the Advanced screen to be Choose FTP server settings
manually and select Use Passive FTP to connect to the server and
make sure Use FTP Performance Optimization is not selected. I don't
think this was ever done (and if it had been it would have saved me
HOURS of time spent trying to diagnose this problem).
Today I ended up backing up every contribute related file and
folder on the server to my local machine then deleting them. After
having done that I asked my client to create a new connection using
the FTP details (not a connection key). That still didn't work so I
got them to (and this time they did it) change the advanced FTP
settings as above and BINGO! they can now publish.
I'm guessing that if I had sent a connec tion key with the
same settings specified in the Advanced FTP then it still would
have worked.
I hope this saves someone else some time. I am going to have
a few beers now to celebrate.

10GR2: API5022:can not connect to the specified repository.

Hi
Today I have started getting the following message when try to connect to the Design Center in 10GR2:
'API5022:can not connect to the specified repository. Verify connection information'
Nothing has changed in the repository for several days, though we were able to login to the Design Center yesterday without any issue. This is happening for all users, so is not a client problem.
Also, we can login to the repository via repository browser, administrator and various query tools. Therefore, the connection details are ok.
Has anyone else encountered this in 10.2? If so, any suggestions would be very much appreciated...
Thanks

The problem might be caused by changing the LOCALE setting to a value that is not recognized.
The selection in the preferences does not allow to reset to an empty value, nor does OWB allow to cancel the selection.
This setting is stored locally outside any database at the following location:
C:\oracle\OWB102\owb\bin\admin\Preference.properties.
where the first part is the OWB homedir
After I changed the content into the following, I was able to start OWB and connect to the repository again without any errors:
#Locally Cached Preferences - DO NOT MODIFY
#Wed Apr 25 21:14:29 CEST 2007
LOCALE=en_US
Even though it says not to modify, remember that the only alternative would be re-installing OWB.
Hope this works for anyone having this problem.
Regards,
Patrick.

I added in the supplied software of the EZ Vinyl Converter. The software reads from Gracenote and imports into iTunes okay. But now my PC cannot access the iTunes store to buy songs, read the tracks on the discs, or display new album artwork. The diagnostic read the network connectivety test, the CD/DVD drive, and iPod connectivity tests all read okay. I followed the directions on checking the network settings under the Internet Options Tool "Connections" Lan Settings and the Automatic detection and still no dice. All I get is "Make sure your network is active."
Can anybody help out their?

I'm seeing this error on some, but not all, of my Windows XP machines. On my personal development XP box, I see this error if iTunes is closed when I try and access iTunes U via my transfer script or Stanford's.
"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was terminated unexpectedly. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
The errors occured in IE 7 Beta, Firefox 1.5.x, and Firefox 2 Beta. In each case, iTunes U loaded after I clicked the 'ok' button in iTunes. I did notice that in Firefox's case an additional pop-up window appeared that asked whether or not I had iTunes; when I selected that I do have itunes, it transfered me to iTunes but generated the error.
After getting these errors on my Windows XP machine, I tried it on two different lab machines running Windows XP, and didn't get the error message once -- I tried it in IE 6, Firefox 1.0.x and Firefox 1.5.x and they all worked. It even worked with IE 7 Beta and Vista Beta.
Based on this, I think the problem must lie in how Windows registered iTunes, and the handshake just isn't happening properly.

iTunes RADIO is not working.
“iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio. People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.
===============================================================
NOTE: no password for iTunes exists in my Keychain. Is this a problem?
Apple ACCOUNT ID, and iTunes ID password, works but not to access iTunes with my healthy internet connection.
Apple store id It works via direct internet connetion but not through iTunes. Very strange.
