ORA-06401 :NETCMN Invalid Driver Error

I am trying to connect to an Oracle 8i release 2 database using a third-party tool that implements the OCI. I enter the service name as mycomputer:1521:SID. Is there something I am doing wrong. Or is there something I should be looking for?
Thanks,
Jeff

What values did you specify for -s, -p and -c option in the export script? Make sure these values are correct and using the same values manually do not throw the errors you are seeing. For e.g., if the schema is portal, the password is portal and the connect string is orcl, first try the following and make sure it works:
sqlplus portal/portal@orcl
If that works, then you can pass the same value to the export script and that should work too:
portalexp.csh -mode export -s portal -p portal -c orcl -d portalexp.dmp

Invalid driver designator in COPY command

Hello Everybody!
I'm triyng to copy table data from my local w2k oracle installation to remote unix installation using following command:
COPY FROM usr/pwd@local_SID TO usr/pwd@remote_IP:remote_PORT:remote_SID
CREATE tbl_NAME
USING SELECT * from tbl_NAME;
I'm getting ERROR:
ORA-06401: NETCMN: invalid driver designator
So, it seems that TO has wrong format.
(Both users are identical and existing in local and remote DBs).
Can you suggest any ideas what is wrong there?
Thanks in advice,

Loadjava issue - invalid driver designator

Hi, I am trying to use loadjava to load a .class file to oracle92. I have set classes12.zip in my classpath.

Is there a certain driver I need to download and if so where can I get it?
Thanks.

Martin,
Drop the database connection string. Go to the directory containing the "thirdProcedure.class" file, then try the following:
loadjava -force -resolve -user targetschema/p -verbose thirdProcedure.classAnd I suggest you [re-]read the documentation for the "loadjava" utility, in the Oracle9i Java Developer's Guide.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Sqlplus/svrmngr segfault/inv. driver designator. Going crazy

I saw many messages about this problem, but didn't find in them
something to solve the problem.
Well, While installing, the installer could not run svrmgr and
sqlplus because of segfault. I copy those binaries from the
installer source to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin and the installation
completed successfuly...
Now I install my tnsnames.ora, and run sqlplus user/pass@server
and got :
ERROR:
ORA-06401: NETCMN: invalid driver designator
Need sqlplus some daemon to run ? What's the interaction between
sqlplus and Net8 ?
I'M REALLY GOING CRAZY !

Have you verified the values in your oci_connect("schema_name","password","tns_alias") string? This type of error can occur when the TNS alias is incorrect. Can you tnsping your instance?
C:\> tnsping tns_alias
This can also happen when there are hidden characters embedded in your connection string. The easiest way is to fix that is to open your file in a text editor, delete the complete string and retype it on one line without tabs or line breaks. By the way the VIM port of vi will let you see hidden characters by typing a ":se list" in command mode on Windows XP.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
In the delivery email configuration server page (under BI Publisher Admin Tab), the username / password to enter is the one defined on the email server itself. It is the user that will be user to send the emails when scedhuling a report.
It may not be Administrator/ Administrator (not a user defined with OBI admin tool) but the username/password defined on the email server itself.
Moreover, to properly configure the BI Publisher Scheduler, it is a prerequistes to create bipsched user on Oracle DB and install the schema tables in Oracle DB (by clicking on Install Schema button after defining database connection under Admin / Scheduler Configuration tab)
From the error your are getting 'SEQ_NAME unknown..., it appears that the tables are not created'.
Hope this helps and good luck

Difficulty downloding Adobe Reader and Error 1327. Invalid Drive H:\

I am having a difficulty downloading Adobe reader on my laptop. For some reasons, I am getting error 1327. Invalid Drive H:\ notification. I have followed the tips on how to resolve this issue from Adobe's help and FAQ pages, but I am still not able to download Adobe reader. This issue begun short while after I installed a Tuneup software from AVG. I contacted this Tuneup company, and one of it's representative guided me through the steps on how to resolve the problem; unfortunately, the correction attempt did not make any difference. Adobe tech support team can fix my issue, but at a cost of $ 40. I do not want to pay it. Hence, I am trying to solve this problem myself. Could any one, who has the knowledge to deal with this issue, please respond to my request?
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Peter VK Mayangi

Have you tried both solutions on the link from the earlier poster? Microsoft Fixit did not fixit?
If so, you will have to search the registry manually for your invalid drive H:\
Please post back if you are unsure what to do when you find that registry entry.
P.S. please do not post your email address and other private data in this public forum!

Error Message...Invalid Drive E when loading ITunes

I have tried to download ITunes for 3 days straight, I keep getting an error message that I have an invalid Drive E. I have done disk clean up, defrag, cleaned out cookies and temp files, what else can I do? Does anyone else get this message? I am dying to use my new phone but I can not unlock or register it.

Bissley,
I have received this error in the past and it is usually caused by Windows automatically changing your external drive letters when you install. There are two ways around it; first, follow the directions provided by b noir. Second, within iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced
Under the advanced options you'll see a recessed section called "iTunes Media folder location". Although you may have set this in the past it, if Windows changed your drive letters it will no longer be valid. Default is usually "C:\blah\blah\mymusic"
Changing it just a matter of clicking "change" and finding your music folder again or change your drive letter back (if it changed at all).
If Windows is changing your drive letters, it is best to set them yourself so that everytime you plug in the devices they use the letter you assigned. Here is a link for that process:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-add-or-remove-a-drive-le tter
Hope it helps.

I keep getting an error report 1327 invalid drive .I have tried to remove adobe reader and it won't let me , this used to work opk on my computer , but has not for quite a while now .I would like it gone from my computer

I am having problems with adobe reader , an error message 1327 invalid drive . I have tried to remove adobe readr=er from my computer , but it wont let me . It is useless as I am unable to use it ...why can I nor remove it

This means that something in your registry is pointing to a drive that doesn't exist; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327763
Let us know if you need any help with editing the registry.
